Referral patterns to a mental health of intellectual disability team
Authors: Ajaz Ali , Eyeoyibo Mo
Published: November 2014

Purpose

People with an intellectual disability are at an increased risk of developing a mental illness. An estimated 50 per cent develop a significant psychiatric problem at some point in their lives. Since the shifting trend to treat and manage individuals in the community setting, there are concerns over the lack of guidance of how intellectual disability mental health services in the community should be organised. This paper aims to address this issue.

Design/methodology/approach

Details of all new referrals made to the mental health of intellectual disability team in Dartford, Kent over a 12‐month period were collated and a questionnaire was used to gather retrospective data of each referral pathway.

Findings

There were 50 patients referred in total, with the primary source being GPs (58 per cent). In total, 40 per cent of all referrals were considered to be inappropriate for the mental health of intellectual disability team and the majority of these originated from the adult mental health and child and adolescent mental health service teams.

Originality/value

These findings identify areas of focus for closer liaison with colleagues to improve the quality of referrals and to reduce the demands placed on our service.
Partial trisomy of the long arm of Chromosome 6 in a female with mild intellectual disability and mental health problems
Authors: Paschos Dimitrios , Omer Rather Mohammed , Walsh Sally , Flinter Frances
Published: November 2014

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to be the first known case report of a patient with mild intellectual disabilities who has a novel partial trisomy of the long arm of Chromosome 6 (6q25.3→q26).

Design/methodology/approach

The patient's history and diagnosis are discussed.

Findings

This case highlights the importance of cytogenetic studies in the systematic evaluation of people with intellectual disabilities and co‐morbid psychiatric conditions.

Originality/value

Performing detailed chromosome analysis by array comparative hybridisation on patients with unexplained intellectual disabilities and mental health problems may enable an underlying diagnosis to be identified.
Recent advances in behavioural phenotypes as they affect adults
Authors: O'Brien Gregory , Bevan Ruth
Published: November 2014

Purpose

– This paper seeks to discuss the complexity of the relationship between genotype and phenotype and highlight the importance of a greater understanding of behavioural phenotypes in genetic syndromes. The aim is to explore the developmental trajectory of the behavioural phenotypes as individuals emerge from childhood into adulthood and beyond.

Design/methodology/approach

– Information was gathered from a search of the relevant literature over the past 20 years using Medline and PsycINFO databases in May 2010 as well as information published in textbooks on this matter.

Findings

– The outcomes were considered under five areas of functioning: cognition, communication, behaviour, social functioning and propensity to psychiatric illnesses. The research thus far suggests that outcomes in behavioural phenotypes in adults are extremely variable. Individual predictions are difficult to make. However, some trends do emerge.

Originality/value

– Findings of particular interest are the rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum conditions and how these change over the developmental trajectory. The paper highlights the need for further research in this area and discusses the need to view behavioural phenotypes as a continuum across the lifespan.
Developing new business strategies in B2B markets by combining CRM concepts and online databases
Authors: Dale Wilson R.
Published: November 2014

This paper illustrates how online databases, available from commercial vendors, can be used as the foundation for developing new business strategies. Emphasis is placed on the use of customer relationship management (CRM) ideas to identify new prospective customers for a high‐tech B2B firm. Specifically, the concept of customer lifetime value was used to evaluate current customers and match their profiles with the profiles of new prospects from the database. Once high‐quality new prospects were identified and prioritized, the company’s salesforce had a much clearer path to follow towards success. The paper contributes to the competitive strategy literature by documenting the successful use of a CRM approach to develop marketing strategies and tactics for a B2B firm that is seeking growth by acquiring new customers.
Multi‐state international catalog exhibitions: a South America experience
Authors: Lesher Taylor Ruth
Published: November 2014

This article is written to advance the idea that U.S. small and medium‐sized firms should have something more than a domestic presence and to help business owners to become aware of free or low‐cost international growth assistance. One such resource, the USDOC Commercial Service Multi‐State International Catalog Exhibition Program (ICEP), is designed to work in partnership with state offices of international business development and/or with individual client firms. Through active participation small firms can leverage their limited export promotion resources. Objectives and benefits of multistate international catalog exhibitions and participation details are discussed.
Inter‐firm collaboration: configuration and dynamics
Authors: Adobor Henry
Published: November 2014

Cooperative strategies, both domestic and foreign, have become an important component of the strategic repertoire of firms. Various forms of interfirm alliances are redefining and transforming the very nature of competition. Considering their importance, a solid understanding of their fundamental dynamics is necessary. Different forms of alliances exist: from those that emerge because partners have some preexisting advantages such as geographic proximity or shared history to those that arise because third parties such as governments have created the enabling environment. Looking at the context and operational dynamics of various alliance configurations may help our understanding of how to manage them. This paper presents four configurations or clusters of alliances based on their origins and link the context to operational dynamics. The policy and research implications of the paper are also presented.
Exploring the cornerstones of Wal‐mart’s success and competitiveness
Authors: Tong Carl H. , Tong Lee‐Ing
Published: November 2014

Sam Walton opened his first Wal‐Mart discount store in 1962. Today, Wal‐Mart is not only the world’s largest corporation but also the world’s most admired company, according to a 2003 Fortune magazine poll. Wal‐Mart is competitive and successful because it has been doing many things right. This article helps shed light on the rise of Wal‐Mart and the roots of its competitiveness. Business practitioners aspiring to succeed can learn a great deal from studying the Wal‐Mart way of doing business.
A dynamic technique for conducting online survey‐based research
Authors: Bonometti Robert J. , Tang Jun
Published: November 2014

Business research often requires use of survey‐based techniques for data acquisition. In the past, researchers had to rely on manual methodologies for survey distribution, data entry, and analysis. These approaches were generally characterized by uncertain (often low) response rates; batch processing of collected data; protracted time periods spanning survey distribution to processed statistical results; and inability to make “mid‐course corrections”. These deficiencies are exacerbated for research on global competitiveness issues which requires international data gathering activities; however, they can be mitigated, if not completely eliminated, by the use of dynamic web‐based survey methods. This paper discusses the advantages of web‐based survey technologies with direct back‐end database interfaces and analytical frameworks, and presents illustrative results from development and use of such a tool.
Electronics Courses for Beginners

Dr Topping, whose own college is as yet less than half complete, notes some important considerations which should be borne in mind in the planning stages of new college buildings. The front cover photograph is of a model of Brunel as it is planned to appear in about 1964. The buildings with black roofs are already in use; construction of the others has not yet begun, in fact much of the site is still occupied by other buildings. Photographs 1, 2 and 3 are by The School of Photography, The Polytechnic, Regent Street, London. Brunel's architect is C. G. Stillman, FRIBA, Middlesex County Architect.
A Course for Careers Teachers
Authors: Baird K.A.
Published: November 2014

“I'm doing nothing for the war effort” answered the famous artist in the First World War — “I'm part of the civilisation you're fighting to defend.” There are some teachers in secondary schools who think in this way about the world of industry. Very properly they are preparing their pupils for living, and living is to them something very different from earning a living. They themselves went from school to university or training college and then back to school. ‘Industry’ goes its mysterious way in its great ugly buildings, and they know nothing of it. Of course the monster is going to devour their pupils when they leave school, but perhaps they can save half of them by splitting each personality into two — Dr Jekyll the breadwinner who will have to earn a living, and Mr Hyde the man of sensibility who will live.

School Chemistry is Out of Date
Authors: Bassey Michael
Published: November 2014

Nineteen children in every hundred study chemistry to Ordinary Level GCE, and eighty per cent then drop the subject.

The author puts forward some suggestions for modernising chemistry curricula.
Teaching Aids for Structures
Authors: Pallett G.
Published: November 2014

The teaching of structural theory lends itself very readily to the use of demonstration models. Generally speaking, no special services such as water, electricity or gas are required so the production of the models need not be over‐complicated. By using such materials as flexible steel strip, deflections and rotations can be magnified onsiderably compared with those found on practice, and even a wooden rule can be used to illustrate characteristic types of bending. In spite of these possibilities the subject of structures has not outgrown its earlier mathematical beginnings. Even the advent of Professor Pippard's book ‘The Experimental Study of Structures’ has not led external examining bodies to demand experimental course work, in addition to graphical and design work.
The Rolls Royce of examinations?
Authors: Vice‐Marshall Daniel Button CB OBE RAF(retd Air
Published: November 2014

The 13th International Congress of The World Federation of Foreign Language Teachers' Associations (FIPLV) took place in Lucerne last March, and one of the demonstrations was an experimental tape‐slide presentation on ARELS Oral Examinations (AOEs). It produced — as presentations on ARELS Orals usually do — some lively reactions: the most unexpected was the comment that they were “the Rolls Royce of Examinations” and, by implication, only for the privileged few. The remark has, of course, other interpretations, discussion of which is an interesting exercise. For example: is their reliability exceptionally good? Are they extremely expensive? Is their construction a masterpiece of detailed engineering? Do they set a standard for others to follow? And — the ultimate question — are they the Best in the World?

Discriminatory Practices in the Banking/Finance Industry: Some Managerial Observations
Authors: Munchus George
Published: November 2014

Introduction A report by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in 1980 indicates that 31.1% of banks' officials and managers were women. This nearly doubled the proportion of women officials and managers in banking from 1970 to 1978. (ABA Banking Journal, October 1980). “People of Colour made smaller advances in the period. Blacks Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans made up 15.9% of the officials and managers at the largest 50 banks, up from 12.3% in 1978, Blacks alone accounted for 6.9% of the officials and managers, up from 5.4% a decade ago.” (American Banker, August 29, 1989). This 27.78% increase in the number of black officials and managers looks impressive, but blacks only represent 6.9% of total managers.
The Background: Role and Relevance in Distribution Service
Authors: Morgan Fred W. , Wagner William B.
Published: November 2014

Preferences and needs of purchasers must be thoroughly defined and analysed when a supplier is establishing criteria upon which to evaluate distribution service within cost constraints. Historically, time and time‐related standards have served as primary, and often only measures of customer service. This temporal emphasis is understandable, given the characteristics of delivery schedules, inventory management, and goods handling systems; however, time‐based standards should not preclude consideration of other service measures. Research has indicated that the backorder may be a useful alternative or supplementary measure of customer service. Morgan concluded that the backorder is “an inverse measure of service achievement”. Perreault and Russ found that 25 % of the purchasing managers they surveyed cancelled more than one‐fourth of all orders which were backordered. Others have suggested that the backorder is a useful service criterion. In those cases where finished goods inventory is not ordinarily present in the system between the production line and the customer it becomes an extremely useful potential measure of performance.

The Need for a Report on the Alternative Road
Authors: Semper E.
Published: November 2014

ALMOST INEVITABLY the focal point of discussion on the Crowther Report has been the recommendation that the school‐leaving age should be raised. Parliamentarians, in particular, prefer to discuss ends rather than means and to leave consideration of the latter to the experts. It is unfortunate that so much professional attention has been devoted to the same end, for this report contains a great deal of stimulating, provocative, and enlightened comment on matters of social education and the reform of sixth form curricula. Moreover, hidden at the end of Chapter 35 is a valuable suggestion that a further enquiry should be made into the development of an ‘Alternative Road’, that is, a more practical approach to education.
Practical Physical Chemistry in Technical Colleges
Authors: Roselaar Leonard C.
Published: November 2014

The purpose of practical work. That chemistry is a practical subject is a fact which teachers are sometimes forced or inclined to ignore. Laboratory work when undertaken by a class requires considerable organisation, is messy, consumes considerable amounts of chemicals and covers a comparatively small part of the syllabus in a given time. At the elementary level it might be possible to run a school chemistry course without practical work. Indeed it could be argued that, until ‘O’ level, the purpose of teaching chemistry is to introduce the pupil to the scientific outlook, and this is an argument which is too often supported by the natural limitations of time, money and space in our schools. In technical colleges, however, even this argument is inadmissible because chemistry is being taught, in the main, to students who will eventually use it or are using it at the laboratory bench.
Problems of the Small Technical College
Authors: Williams D.
Published: November 2014

VARIOUS FACTORS account for the smallness of some technical colleges. Perhaps the most obvious case would be the local college situated in a rural area where both the population and industry are thinly spread. Industrial development often tends to snowball, and, despite the amazing growth of technical education in some areas, there are other parts of the country where the industrial pattern has hardly changed since the war, and even areas where industries have left, making unemployment a serious problem. Alternatively, the small college may be a new one catering for a new and probably expanding industrial area. A third possibility would be the long‐established college surrounded by other well‐established colleges, all of which may have started to expand almost simultaneously within rigidly defined catchment areas, complicated possibly by awkward county or city boundaries. The net result may be not only that one college is left with too small a catchment area, but that it may be quite impossible to increase that catchment area.
“Good Plain English” — English Courses for Technical Students
Authors: Flower F.D.
Published: November 2014

TEACHERS OF all subjects in technical colleges are largely agreed that there is a place for English in their curricula. Badly written and misspelt lab reports force them to recognise the inadequacy of their students' command of language. Employers, aware of the difficulties their technical staff find in writing correctly and comprehensibly, demand a sound grounding in English. The White Paper of February 1956 on Technical Education found space to call for “good plain English, the use of which saves time and money and avoids trouble”.

Selection for Technical Education
Authors: Venables Ethel C.
Published: November 2014

The investigations of the Crowther Committee confirmed the findings of small‐scale research and left us in no doubt about the wastefulness of much of the part‐time education taking place within local and area technical colleges. The major recommendations of the 15–18 Report have not yet been dealt with, but the Minister has produced the White Paper ‘Better Opportunities in Technical Education’ in which it is proposed to tighten the selection procedure into ONC classes in the hope of reducing the failure rates. This provides a suitable occasion to discuss the whole vexed question of selection for this branch of education
The Pattern since 1956 … 2

Training Week will put the tangibles of technical college work and training in the limelight well enough, but the basic flaw running through the pattern of this work — since well before 1956 — is not so tangible and might escape the public altogether. It is the problem of staffing the technical colleges and training departments. The author queries some long‐held views on this subject and outlines a possible new approach to the recruitment and training of technical teachers. The article concludes with some thoughts on a new industrial and commercial thought revolution, and a forward look at the next White Paper
Unguided Careers

SCHOOL‐LEAVERS have a bewildering choice facing them. A mistaken choice can mean, for the individual, frustration and disillusionment; for the nation, the waste of a valuable asset — trained minds. Although the critical decision about a career is often taken during the last year at school, the transition from school to work is a long process covering at least the last two or three years at school and extending well into the first years of work.
Films in the Teaching of Metallurgy

WORK, HEAT, ENERGY AND THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Authors: Walshaw A.C.
Published: November 2014

There is much confusion and misunderstanding among students regarding the meaning and use of the word ‘heat’ in the subject of heat engines and applied thermo‐dynamics, and much argument among teachers as revealed by Mr Helsdon in his article published in your issue of August 1961. The points of difficulty need to be pursued from the point of view of introducing students to the first law (Q = δE + W or σQ = σE + σW) which involves, and distinguishes between, the funda‐mental concepts of work, heat and energy.

5 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS LABORATORIES
Authors: Moore W.N.C.
Published: November 2014

One's freedom in planning an Applied Thermodynamics laboratory in any existing building is limited by the siting of supplies and services. Equipment associated with the use of steam is logically grouped away from that which primarily has to have an outlet for hot contaminated gas. Items which are largely self‐contained, such as a refrigeration rig, or a reciprocating air compressor, may be placed almost anywhere, although even with these, a cooling water supply is likely to be needed. Starting from scratch it would seem reasonable to plan on such a basis relating the machine's location to the services it demands.
SYMPOSIUM Part 2

Visits were also made to various departments of the Middlesex County Council — Further Education, Architect's, Supplies and Treasurer's — to meet officers and be put in the picture concerning the many aspects of opening and running a new College. The friendliness and extremely helpful welcome met in all these early introductions were of the greatest assistance in subsequent months when difficulties were ironed out quite smoothly either over the telephone or at personal meetings. Without such willing co‐operation throughout, the task of starting a new College would have been much more difficult.

A radiation protection service for schools
Authors: TURNBULL D.T.
Published: November 2014

Radioisotopes, nuclear radiations and X‐rays are now used for practical work in many school physics, chemistry and biology departments, and one may expect this type of work to increase rapidly as revision and modernisation of GCE ‘O’‐ and ‘A’‐level syllabuses takes place. At present the Department of Education and Science gives guidance to schools, colleges of further education, and teacher training colleges on the use of ionising radiations, in an administrative memorandum (1/65) which was issued in January of this year. The memorandum is concerned primarily with establishments working at low radiation levels and which are exempt from the Radioactive Substances Act, 1962. Colleges, and the very few schools working at higher radiation levels are governed for safety requirements by the ‘Code of Practice for the Protection of Persons Exposed to Ionising Radiations in Research and Teaching’, which was recently issued by the Ministry of Labour acting with the advice of the Radioactive Substances Advisory Committee. This code states that such establishments must appoint suitably qualified Radiological Safety Officers (RSO) to carry out its recommendations.

Thermodynamics and Engineering
Authors: N.S.M.
Published: November 2014

This is an excellent book. Coming as it does from the pen of a scientist who is also an experienced teacher it fulfils all that the author set out to accomplish. Of the existing books on Thermodynamics comparatively few have succeeded in presenting the subject in so attractive and palatable a fashion—attractive because the art of the true teacher illumines and embellishes the whole work and palatable because, while the average engineering student has very often viewed the study of thermodynamics as a form of forced labour due to the wrong approach, Dr Schmidt, who was Professor of Thermodynamics in the Engineering University of Brunswick, succeeds from the outset in focusing the reader's attention and whetting his curiosity. He then proceeds so to build up the fundamentals as to make the deeper theories and their application, which are so ably handled later in the book, a revelation of clarity and development.
The Warping and Constraint of Certain Rectangular Box Sections

IT is well known that an originally plane section of a thin‐walled shell warps out of the plane of section when torsion and/or transverse shear is applied. The effects of local constraint of the warping have been investigated, mainly for doubly symmetrical shells. However, it does not appear to be generally known that constraint of a shell subject to a transverse load produces rotation of sections and reciprocally.

Sweepback and Wing Taper
Authors: Falkner V.M.
Published: November 2014

1. IN R. & M. 2596 and another report, the I latter concerned mainly with compressibility effects, the writer has considered the aerodynamic loading due to incidence of a number of wings of varying aspect ratio and sweep‐back. The information given in these reports was obtained by the use of a lattice of vortices for the computation of downwash and by the subsequent determination of the constants in the equation representing the vortex sheet. It is well known that the potential solutions obtained by this simplified representation are not necessarily of more than moderate accuracy when applied to problems in which wing thickness and viscosity are present, and those published have not been carried to a degree sufficient to give accurate detailed pressure distribution in the region of a discontinuity. It has, however, been shown in a later report on the measurement of pressure distribution at the surface of a sweptback wing that the accuracy as regards spanwise load grading and local aerodynamic centre is surprisingly good and it has been thought well worth while to extend the range of information provided in the above reports before proceeding to the more complex task of computing the detailed pressure distribution at the surface of a wing with allowance for viscosity.

The Design of Sailplanes for High Performance
Authors: Wilkinson K.G.
Published: November 2014

A sailplane designer will normally base a new design on his experience of the relative success of various earlier types in competitive flying and will be guided by a few simple performance criteria such as minimum sinking speed, glide ratio and the less precisely defined property of ‘penetration’ (this being, roughly, the ability to achieve a good glide ratio at a high forward speed). This empirical approach has resulted in the evolution of an aerodynamic form of considerable efficiency. It is not easy, however, to see precisely why the present form has proved so effective or what potential development lies ahead. One reason for this is that none of the criteria mentioned is an absolute index of efficiency nor does it represent the range of operations that a sailplane is called upon to cover in practice. A clearer insight demands a deeper analysis of the basic requirements for sailplane performance, to see whether a more effective index of efficiency can be found. Such an index is developed in this paper and the effectiveness of varying the main design parameters is examined with its aid.

The Library Shelf
Authors: Duncan W.J.
Published: November 2014

Flutter is a species of oscillatory instability affecting parts of aircraft, such as their wings. However, in as much as an aircraft is a single system, it would always be more accurate to say that flutter is an oscillatory instability affecting an aircraft as a whole. There arc, of course, many kinds of oscillatory diseases which afflict aeroplanes and other aircraft, but the flutter disease is characterized by the feature that both aerodynamic actions and distortional oscillations of the structure play an essential part. Thus, if an aeroplane could be made rigid it would not flutter. Needless to say, it is quite impossible to make an aeroplane, or indeed any other structure, strictly rigid but it is true that increasing the structural stiffness is one of the basic methods for avoiding flutter troubles, a fact duly insisted upon by the Airworthiness Authorities in all countries. Likewise, an aeroplane would not flutter if it were projected in a vacuum so that the aerodynamic actions were annulled, but then the sustaining force would also be absent. Both distortion and aerodynamic actions play a part in many kinds of oscillation other than flutter and several of these, such as ‘snaking’, fall'within what is regarded as the domain of ‘stability and control’. However, in such oscillations the structural distortions are not essential for the occurrence of instability.

When a complete fuselage ring, symmetrical about the ZZ axis, is under the action of a symmetrical loading system—the ring ABCD in FIG. 3.01 is one such example—it can be treated in two halves built‐in at D and cut at B, in the manner described earlier.
Materials of the future need grasping now
Authors: I.H.G.
Published: November 2014

MANY parameters have to be considered in the application of new materials in aircraft design and today, perhaps, the economic situation is such as to make it even more important that designers should seek out the economic benefits to be derived from applying advanced materials. In terms of the commercial aircraft market there may be seen to be a reluctance on the part of manufacturers to whole heartedly embrace the new materials but, in the final analysis, technological superiority will thin out the wood and expose the very worthwhile trees.
The Fatigue Substantiation of the Lynx Helicopter
Authors: Hall A.D.
Published: November 2014

This article outlines the procedures being used at Westland Helicopters Limited to establish the fatigue lives of the dynamic and structural components of the Lynx and to demonstrate how an adequate safety level is achieved under the loading sustained by the aircraft. For the newcomer to the fatigue problem a brief introduction to the phenomenon of fatigue will be provided and it will be shown how it is applicable to a helicopter. A philosophical outline of the fatigue procedures in current use at Westlands follows and then a description of the Lynx is given. The article will then describe the fatigue testing, flight testing and substantiation procedures used with the Lynx and it will be shown how the eventual fatigue lives are estimated. Finally some thoughts are put forward about the future of fatigue substantiation.

Competitive Intelligence
Authors: Nolan John A.
Published: November 2014

Executives at a major pharmaceutical company learn that one of their primary competitors is about to introduce a new product that will directly challenge their leading over‐the‐counter pain reliever. They learn that the rival will launch the product in two months with a major media blitz that will emphasize savings of a dollar a bottle off the leader's price, with the same ability to reduce pain.
THE RELATIVE EFFECTS OF SITUATIONAL PRACTICES AND CULTURALLY INFLUENCED VALUES/BELIEFS ON WORK ATTITUDES
Authors: Bennett Robert H.
Published: November 2014

There is a strong tradition in cross‐cultural research to posit a relationship between culturally‐derived values and work‐related attitudes, with the most notable work conducted by Hofstede (1980). The deeply‐held culturally‐derived values have a powerful influence on the specific cognitions and behaviors that workers develop. On the other hand, this research suggests that situational variables, including the workers' daily activities and work experiences, also influence work‐related attitudes. Situational demands and salient information from one's current experiences affect the nature of attitudes, and on self‐report questionnaires may explain more variation than reported deep‐seated values. Research was conducted on samples of 64 Americans and 47 Chinese workers to contrast the influences on attitudes. Situational variables were shown to strongly influence attitudinal measures, especially in the American sample. Implications for worker education and training and cross‐cultural management are offered.
BEFORE The MACHINES COME

Before the spread of printing the chief concern of the librarian was to conserve the manuscripts in his charge. Their value, and the difficulty of replacing them, made their safety paramount. Scholars would willingly travel great distances to the collections and endure inconvenience in order to use the documents they needed. Libraries with collections of manuscripts evolved efficient systems to ensure conservation of their treasures, and their management was relatively simple. The coming of printing and the consequent mass production of documents has forced most librarians to reconsider the relationship of readers and documents. In most cases their readers' time is now much more valuable than the costs of making good losses from, and damage to, the documents in their charge. This applies even to the esoteric writings of those secret societies of the modern world—companies and government departments. The security measures used to guard the documents must not waste the time of the initiates whom they are intended to help, or prevent the documents from being fully available to them. Indeed, the librarian's chief concern now is to make his documents fully available to the readers whom they will help.

CAD IN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ANALYSIS
Authors: Belmans R. , Geysen W. , Freeman E.
Published: November 2014

Electromagnetic problems The electromagnetic theory has been fully developed into a mathematical equation system by Maxwell in which he succeeded to explain all physical phenomena. One could ask why after 200 years it is still impossible to accurately solve these equations. The explanation is given by the fact that a solution in a closed form is impossible due to the presence of anisotropic, non‐linear materials with a difficult geometrical shape. Until the sixties, emphasis in clectromagnetism was on finding extremely difficult test functions, offering a solution for a limited category of problems. Examples are the rotating field theory in electrical machines and the wave equations in high voltage line transients.

The analysis of the magnetic field and computation of the leakage magnetic flux is important for optimum design of the motor, especially for the small machines on low voltage loaded from the accumulator battery. In our contribution we analyzed the computation of the leakage magnetic field and flux by means of analytical, respective numerical methods (Finite Elements Method — FEM).
SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATORS
Authors: Nowak L. , Demenko A. , Szelag W.
Published: November 2014

System contains units which are the tools for the actuators designs, optimization and steady‐states or transients simulation. Design and optimization process has been based on the equivalent circuit model with “field” procedures for concentrated circuit parameters calculation. For the optimization the penalty function method combined with the conjugate gradients method has been adopted. In the steady‐states simulation, the entirely 2D or 3D field formulation has been employed. Whereas in transients, it is assumed that the field is produced under the time‐varying voltage constraints, so the combined field‐circuit formulation has been applied.
Silicone lubricants
Authors: WILLIAMS A.E
Published: November 2014

Silicones were developed by the Dow Corning Corporation and have been manufactured in the U.S.A. for several years. More recently they have become available in Great Britain. One of the several uses is in the sphere of lubrication. Experience with these relatively new materials shows that they possess a combination of properties which go a long way in eliminating some of the problems encountered by the lubrication engineer. In this article, MR. WILLIAMS, a consulting chemist, who has been responsible for considerable original research on oils, describes some of the advantages and disadvantages that these new materials possess and points out that their particularly good viscosity index, low pour point and excellent chemical stability will make their adoption for various lubricating purposes increasingly inviting.

Published: November 2014

SINCE sugar mills must operate continuously, without breakdown, for twenty‐four hours a day eight months at a time, the corrosive and erosive effect of the environment must be countered. The efficacy and reliability of the lubrication systems are of paramount importance. Hostile factors are acidic moisture, heat and dirt. Exaggerated by the singular nature of the product, these can conspire to produce remarkably severe environmental conditions.
