    Notes: Abstract Background: During an international workshop held in September 1998, a group of specialists in the field of ovarian cancer reached consensus on a number of issues with implications for standard practice and for research of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: Five groups of experts considered several issues which included: biologic factors, prognostic factors, surgery, initial chemotherapy, second-line treatment, the use of CA 125, investigational drugs, intra-peritoneal treatment and high-dose chemotherapy. The group attempted to arrive at answers to questions such as: Are there prognostic factors, which help to identify patients who will not do well with current therapy? What is the current best therapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma? What directions should research take in advanced ovarian cancer? These issues were discussed in a plenary meeting. Results: One of the major conclusions drawn by the consensus committee was that in previously untreated advanc ed ovarian cancer, cisplatin plus paclitaxel has been shown to be superior to previous standard therapy with cisplatin plus cyclophosphamide (level I evidence). However, for many patients, carboplatin plus paclitaxel is a reasonable alternative because of toxicity and convenience considerations. Most participants felt that the benefits in terms of toxicity for the paclitaxel-carboplatin are such that its widespread adoption at this stage is justified. Until mature survival data are available a minority of investigators would recommend continued use of cisplatin plus paclitaxel, specifically for those patients with advanced disease with the best prognostic characteristics. For future clinical research in this area, new end points for randomised clinical trials, together with a new Trials Network, are proposed.

    Notes: Resin transfer molding (RTM) of advanced fiber architecture materials promises to be a cost effective process for obtaining composite parts with exceptional strength. However there are a larger number of material processing parameters that must be observed, known, and/or controlled during the resin transfer molding process. These include the viscosity both during impregnation and cure. In-situ sensors which can observe these processing properties within the RTM tool during the fabrication process are essential. This paper will discuss recent work on the use of frequency dependent electromagnetic sensing (FDMS) techniques to monitor these properties in the RTM tool. Our objective is to use these sensing techniques to address problems of RTM scaleup for large complex parts and to develop a closed loop, intelligent, sensor controlled RTM fabrication process.

    Effect of ferric tartrate/sodium hydroxide solvent pretreatment on enzyme hydrolysis of cellulose in corn residue (1984)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Lignocellulose containing 62% cellulose was prepared from corn residue by dilute acid hydrolysis using 5% H2SO4 at 90°C. The lignocellulose was then treated with a cellulose solvent consisting of a ferric sodium tartrate complex in 1.5N sodium hydroxide at levels ranging from 4:1 to 12:1 (solvent volume: corn residue lignocellulose) or a 1.5N sodium hydroxide solution alone. Subsequent hydrolysis with cellulase enzymes from Trichoderma reesei gave cellulose conversions which were two to three times higher than untreated lignocellulose (30%) and approached 90% conversion after 24 h in the best cases. It was found that increasing cellulase enzyme levels from 3.74 lU/g lignocellulose to 7.71 lU/g lignocellulose increased cellulose conversion by 50% at all pretreatment conditions, while an increase from 7.71 to 10.1 lU/g gave only an additional 5-10% increase. Pretreatment with sodium hydroxide resulted in 5-25% lower conversions than observed for cellulose treated with the solvent, depending on enzyme levels and treatment levels. At high enzyme levels, sodium hydroxide pretreatment is almost as effective in enhancing cellulose conversion after 24 h as is pretreatment using the cellulose solvent.
