title: Interreligious dialogue: Ecumenical engagement in interfaith action

authors: Pratt, Douglas

subjects: interreligious

abstract: This chapter is an exploration of some background, initial impetus and rationales whereby the Christian Church is engaged in interreligious dialogue. There is emphasis on the central agencies of the World Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church. Particular attention is also given to the various models of dialogue that have emerged. The author proposes that in and through this comparative study the contours of an ecumenical Christian stance towards – and an engagement in – interreligious dialogue should emerge. He concludes that people of different religions, in pursuit of dialogical relationship one with another, nowadays have the possibility of transcending past histories of combative clash in favour of a future marked increasingly by co-operative engagement: faith can make things better.

title: Continuous radial flow chromatography

authors: Lay, Mark C.

abstract: A prototype of a continuous radial flow chromatograph (CRFC) was developed consisting of a rotating annular bed (14.6 cm O.D., 8.6 cm I.D. and 2 cm deep). A protein-laden feed, equilibration and elution buffer flow radially inwards from a feed chamber at the periphery towards an exit chamber at the axis. Bed movement past fixed feed and exit points allows continuous separation of components from a feed mixture. 
Continuity equations describing CRFC performance were developed using two resinsolute interaction models. Adsorption was described in both models by the multicomponent Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm (MLF). In the first model (NP) the resin was treated as non-porous and in the second (FD) the resin was porous and mass transfer between flowing solution and resin pores was described by film-diffusion. These models were solved using a finite difference method. 
Adsorption isotherm and rate parameters were obtained from batch equilibrium, kinetic and axial flow column breakthrough and elution experiments using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow resin. Because MLF caused model instability in breakthrough simulations, the multicomponent Langmuir isotherm (ML) was used. Good agreement was found with axial column breakthrough and elution experiments. NaCl breakthrough was best described by the FD-ML model. Bed dispersion was masked by extra-column dispersion effects. 
Breakthrough and elution experiments showed that the CRFC had poor resolution when operated in batch mode, due to slow solute distribution in the feed and exit chambers. BSA uptake rates determined by curve fitting were 30 times lower than those found in axial column experiments, indicating poor resolution. 
FD-ML parameters obtained from continuous extraction of BSA agreed well with data from axial column experiments. CRFC performance can be predicted from small axial column data. 
The CRFC was used to continuously separate BSA from lactoferrin. 85% of BSA was recovered from the mixture at 94% purity, with a separation factor of 4.8.

Koia tērā, ko te Tari Māori (Māori Department), ko Timoti Kāretu te tumuaki, ko tōna kāhui kawe i ngā mahi ko te momo he wā tōna he pūkenga, he ahonuku, he ahorangi, he tākuta, he tohunga; he wā anō he pāpā, he whaea, he matua kēkē, he whaea kēkē; he wā anō he haututū, he hangarau, he whakatoi, he hoa tonu. Ko te tohu kē ia e whakaatuhia nei, ko te mātau o tēnei hanga ki te hāpai i te momo taera e hua ai te pai ki te ākonga, ki te mahi, ki te hapori.

Koia hoki te momo e whakamātauhia ana e te ao Pākehā; te mōhio kē, te tirohanga kē, te pōhēhē, te ture, te kawa me ngā tini aha kē. Koia tonu te momo e whakamātauhia ana e te ao Māori; ōna manako, ōna wawata, ōna taumahatanga, ōna piki, ōna heke. Ko te wā hui ki ngā kaimahi i Te Tari Māori he whakamoemoe i ngā utanga a te whare wānanga me ā te iwi kia whakapōtaehia he ākonga, me te mea, kia puta tonu hei tamāhine, hei tāhae, hei irāmutu, hei mokopuna e “toa ai rātou hei iti kotahi harakoa mō te iwi”. Kātahi nā te whiu ko tēnā, he taumahatanga kāore e pērā rawa te wahatanga e ngā kaimahi Pākehā i roto i ngā kura wānanga pēnei. Heoi anō, ko ia tērā ngā wheako o te wā, ahakoa nō nākua rawa nei i mārama ai taua here ki aua kaimahi, ka mahara iho au ki taua wā, ka mīharo tonu i te kaha o ērā pūkenga2 ki te whakatutuki i te wāhi ki a rātou. I tēnei punua hokinga mahara, ka aro ki ēnei mātua marau e rua, arā, ko te kawea o ngā mahi e taea ai e te Māori, ākonga mai, pūkenga mai, kaupapa mai, i te ao whare wānanga Pākehā, ka tahi; ka rua, ka aro ki ētahi o ngā āhuatanga e honohono ana ki te iwi.
