Isostearyl Neopentanoate, the ester of Isostearyl Alcohol and Neopentanoic Acid, is used in cosmetic products as an emollient at concentrations up to 50 percent. The undiluted ingredient at doses up to 4 ml/kg was shown to be relatively non-toxic in short-and long-term feeding studies. Test data from animal and clinical studies indicate the undiluted ingredient is neither an irritant nor a sensitizer. A cosmetic formulation containing 16 percent Isostearyl Neopentanoate produced no phototoxicity and no photoallergenicity. Mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and teratogenicity data were not available. Isostearyl Neopentanoate was not considered to be a significant comedogenic agent. On the basis of available data, it is concluded that this ingredient is safe as a cosmetic ingredient in its present practices of use.

BAE Systems is currently developing and testing a 155 mm advanced gun system (AGS) and a long range land attack projectile (LRLAP) as a part of the DDG-1000 ship development program. For this development, it is important to understand the barrel and projectile dynamics, including the interaction of the barrel and the projectile in the bore as well as the projectile tip-off parameters at exit. An abaqus explicit dynamic finite element model has been developed to compare results with test data that were taken on June 18, 2003, at the BAE Systems site at the Alliant Techsystems Proving Ground (ATPG) during AGS propellant testing. The abaqus model includes the gun barrel, the projectile used for propellant testing (a steel slug), the M110 gun mount, and the recoil system. Features of the model incorporate settling of the barrel due to gravity, gun recoil, in-bore interaction of the projectile and the barrel using contact surfaces, and the initial flight of the projectile after bore exit. The abaqus model results have been compared with gun firing test data acquired during propellant testing at Elk River, MN. These comparisons include barrel and projectile displacements, angular velocities, and axial accelerations. The abaqus model results are also compared to similar models of the test conditions with the simulation of barrel dynamics (simbad) gun dynamics code and the ibhvg2 interior ballistics code.

QUEENSLAND HEALTH as an organisation has been under a great deal of pressure in recent times. On 26 April 2005, the Queensland Government announced an independent review of Queensland Health?s administrative, workforce and performance management systems. The review was established in response to public concern over the safety and quality of the public health system following events that took place at Bundaberg Hospital, particularly the appointment and practices of Dr Jayant Patel. Associated with the Patel case were issues of bullying and intimidatory behaviour at the workplace. In response to the recommendations of the review, Queensland Health embarked upon a major reform program. One of the strategies for driving reform highlighted by the Queensland Health Systems Review final report, September 2005 was leadership development. Strong leadership was identified as vitally important to both drive the reform process and improve workplace culture.

Toxicological test data on Ozokerite, Ceresin, Montan Wax, Paraffin, Microcrystalline Wax, Emulsifying Wax N.F., Synthetic Wax and Synthetic Beeswax are presented. Based on the documented animal and clinical test data, it is concluded that these waxes are safe for use as cosmetic ingredients in the present practices of concentration and use.

Oxyquinoline is a heterocyclic phenol which is used as a fungicide and bactericide in cosmetic formulations at concentrations at, or less than 1.0%. Oxyquinoline is metabolized and excreted in the urine as glucuronides. The acute oral LD50 toxicity in rats was 1.2 g/kg. In subchronic studies, no deaths occurred in male and female rats at 5 doses up to 12,000 ppm or in male and female mice up to doses of 6000 ppm. Solid 100% Oxyquinoline was mildly irritating to rabbit skin and a 100 mg dose of Oxyquinoline was only slightly irritating to the eye. No sensitization test data were available for either of these cosmetic ingredients. Oxyquinoline and Oxyquinoline Sulfate were mutagenic when assayed using the Ames procedure with metabolic activation. Mutagenic activity was also demonstrated in the mouse lymphoma assay. Oxyquinoline was noncarcinogenic in several oral rodent feeding studies. The data from this negative oral carcinogenic assay were judged to be insufficient to evaluate the safety of use of Oxyquinoline and Oxyquinoline Sulfate when cosmetic products containing these ingredients are applied to the skin. It is concluded that the available carcinogenicity and sensitization test data are insufficient to support a conclusion on the safety of Oxyquinoline and Oxyquinoline Sulfate as used in cosmetic products.
