The results of 23,228 fingerprick capillary blood glucose tests (the taking of which was coordinates by the Diabetic Association of New South Wales) were reviewed. All non-diabetic persons (n = 860) with a blood glucose result of greater than or equal to 8.0 mmol/L were surveyed and 459 responded (53.4%). The responders were typical of the surveyed group with respect to age and capillary blood glucose level. Sixty-four new cases of diabetes were detected, representing 15.8% of the replies from persons who were not known to have diabetes and 0.28% of the total number of persons screened.

Two approaches in design of space frame structures are outlined and discussed. The kinematic equations for arbitrary large rotation of beams are formulated by means of rotation vectors. This is the so called displacement method. The other approach uses nonlinear computational algorithms. An iteration procedure was developed using initial stiffness matrix and orthogonal load-deformation-states.

A 120m tall building incorporating both in-situ and precast post-tensioned concrete components was instrumented to observe some aspects of its structural behaviour. The instrumentation includes embedded and surface strain and temperature transducers, survey reference points, wind pressure tappings, and anemometers above the roof of the building to measure wind characteristics. The paper describes the strain and deformation instrumentation and method of data acquisition. The measured long-term vertical strains and deformations in one of the columns are presented and are compared with values predicted by two methods which are suitable for use by designers. Reference is made to the results of an extensive materials testing programme the results of which enabled the assessment of methods of prediction for the long-term creep and shrinkage properties of the concrete.

Flow in an urban drainage network is generally unsteady. Analysis of such flows therefore requires the solution of the unsteady flow (Saint Venant) equations. Among the numerical techniques which have been developed for the analysis of unsteady flows is the four-point implicit finite difference scheme commonly referred to as the Amein scheme. Use of the Amein scheme requires the solution of C multiplied by DELTA v equals minus R where C is a large sparse matrix and DELTA v and R are n multiplied by 1 column vectors. The algorithm proposed herein uses the properties of the drainage network to develop an efficient solution of C multiplied by DELTA v equals minus R based upon the partitioning and decomposition of the coefficient matrix C. An example urban drainage network is analysed showing the use of the proposed solution algorithm.

To predict the reliability of structures it is necessary to make reasonable allowances in the assessment for the influence of human error in the design, construction and use of the structure. The present paper deals with an attempt to model mathematically the human errors introduced into the structural design process and the effect they may have on structural safety. Preliminary data collection for use in the model is reported, and an outline of the model being developed is given.

Durability of concrete structures is, despite considerable interest, as yet ill-defined. Methods of classification and quantification of durability of concrete members have recently been outlined in a series of co-authored papers. The application of such methods to structures is outlined. The accumulation of data requires the use of a computer, and methods of transferring data from photographic or television images to storage is discussed. The data is then available for computations, which relate types of deterioration effects to reinforcement and other details. Statistical procedures are introduced to systematise the data, and to permit comparisons to be made between structural members, within the same structure or between structures. The approach should, if successfully applied, allow better measurements of durability to be made, and hence improve techniques of predicting performance, making comparisons between materials and systems, assessing repair procedures and estimating repair costs.

© 1985 IEEE. Mobile platforms available for use in robotic systems vary enormously in their mobility and in their control characteristics. In particular, the characteristics which are desirable in an autonomous vehicle for unstructured terrain are quite different from those which are optimum in a vehicle for partially structured terrain, such as road following, or for a mobile platform for use in a highly structured factory environment. The controlled degrees of freedom of the platform impact the manner in which it can be used. Platforms with articulated steering are severely limited in situations, such as mobile industrial robot service, in which lateral motion may be desirable.
