    Notes: Summary We have conducted a field trial of a pillbox containing a concealed electronic device for monitoring compliance in 23 consecutive adult out patients taking a rifampicin/isoniazid combination once daily. In 22 cases, the times when the box was opened were successfully recorded for the entire period (mean (SD) 26 (5) days) between successive clinic visits. In the other patient the record terminated after one week, a broken box being returned. Both totality of compliance (as assessed by box openings) and consistency of compliance (the proportion of the total number of intervals between openings which were of 22 to 26 h in length) were significantly greater in those studied in the intensive than in the maintenance phase of therapy. Patients may have taken the reduction in medication at the end of the intensive phase as signalling cure. A computer program has been developed to display the recorded data. This allowed the physician responsible to assimilate at a glance the patient's tablet-taking habits. In routine practice knowledge of the presence of the device may improve compliance and a discussion of the graphical display may prove of value in counselling.

    Notes: [Auszug] Much of the land on the South Downs was under cultivation for long periods during the Bronze and Iron Ages. Most of the level patches have again been cultivated in recent years, but there are interesting small patches of heath on the slopes in many places. Very good examples of these are to be ...

    Notes: [Auszug] RICHARDS has stated1 that there are indications, though no definite evidence, that lowland tropical podsols are found in Africa. Such soils appear to exist in one small area of Uganda, near Lake Nabugabo, which is adjacent to the north western corner of Lake Victoria (lat. 0° 20′ ...

    ANTHILLS AND TERMITE MOUNDS IN PASTURES (1962)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Grass and forage science 17 (1962), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2494

    Notes: The distinctive vegetation of some anthills in chalk grasslands is shown diagrammatically, and some differences between the soils of anthills and those of the surrounding grasslands are discussed. The termite mounds of the tropics also have soils differing from those of the grasslands in which they are built; some harvester termites destroy areas of pasture: and the large mounds of fungus-eating termites hinder mechanical cultivation. Temperate and tropical pastures benefit from control of ants and termites.

    THE TRAMPING ANIMAL (1960)

    Notes: Effects of trampling by domestic and wild animals are briefly described and illustrated. Although cattle do not graze so closely as sheep or goats, yet they tread more heavily. Winter frosts, by heaving the surface, remedy the effects of excessive trampling in temperate countries. But in hot countries, where frosts do not occur, trampling by cattle may make the surface so compact that rain cannot penetrate the soil, and the pasture is ruined by “over grazing”. Under such circumstances, improved fodder supplies may give more benefit than improved pastures.

    Notes: The variability of some chalk pastures above the Pewsey Vale in Wiltshire was studied by recording point-quadrats two inches apart on strips across sheep paths; the results are shown diagrammatically. There were usually lines of tall grasses at the edges of the paths, with belts of shorter grass, richer in forbs, between the paths. Some species of grasses and forbs were most common on or near the paths; others were more common in the short turf. The theoretical and practical implications of this variability are briefly discussed.

    THE VEGETATION OF THE PEWSEY VALE ESCARPMENT, WILTSHIRE (1957)

    Notes: Records were made on a standard point-quadrat frame at intervals of 20 feet along fifteen transects down the chalk escarpment on the north side of Pewsey Vale in Wiltshire. These records demonstrate how great is the variability in chalk grassland, both in different parts of each transect and in corresponding parts of adjacent transects. Chalk-down vegetation must be regarded as unstable and greatly altered by past and present use of the land for cultivation and grazing.

    Correction-free radiometry on specular spheres for containerless processing in microgravity (1992)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 63 (1992), S. 5394-5402 
    Details
    ISSN: 1089-7623
    Source: AIP Digital Archive
    Topics: Physics , Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology
    Notes: An analysis is presented that establishes how correction-free radiance measurements or pyrometry can be performed on targets in furnaces where there may be significant additional radiance from heated furnace walls or from reflecting surfaces close to the target. These configurations are common in microgravity and containerless processing applications where a specular target is radiantly heated in a hot-wall furnace, or inductively heated from the fields arising from nearby closely spaced electromagnetic coils. Proper design requires that the pyrometer does not view any images of the background features in the specular target so that stray radiation will not be reflected into the viewing optics of the pyrometer. To analyze the problem, conventional paraxial optics analysis is shown to be significantly in error. Instead a method of nonparaxial ray tracing, based on the derivatives of the ray paths, shows how the images must be located. This leads to analytical results that can be used to design such systems. The findings are applied to the furnace geometries that are presently being considered for flight in low-earth orbit. However, the same results may be used in other applications where any radiance measurement is being made on a specular target, as is the case for any molten material in a furnace.
