Workers' health in the inter-war years has been the subject ofrecent enquiry and was a topic that generated much contentious contemporary debate.' The focus of discussion has been the impact ofmass unemployment and consequent deprivation on standards of health, physique, and general well-being.

Industrial Health

used a mixture of sulphonamides in the treatment of gonorrhoea, with the aim of obtaining higher bloodl sulphonamide levels without endangering the renal tracts. 4. Ledbetter and Cronheim (1948) claim that, as well as reducing the danger of crystalluria, the use of sulphonamide mixtures will obviate the danger oi alkalosis from the dosage of alkalies required to prevent crystalluria when single...

Agent Technology in Industrial Applications

The agent metaphor has become increasingly popular in distributed computing systems. As often with a new paradigm, it is not very clear what the exact meaning is. The meaning and the development of the agent paradigm is therefore discussed in this paper. One motivation for using agents in distributed systems is that, due to the rapid technical development of computing and communication faciliti...

Liposome Technology for Industrial Purposes

Liposomes, spherical vesicles consisting of one or more phospholipid bilayers, were first described in the mid 60s by Bangham and coworkers. Since then, liposomes have made their way to the market. Today, numerous lab scale but only a few large-scale techniques are available. However, a lot of these methods have serious limitations in terms of entrapment of sensitive molecules due to their expo...
