<p>Heat flow data contribute to the imaging the lithospheric thermal structure, which greatly influences tectonic and geological processes and constrains the strength of the lithosphere, the modes of deformation, and the depth distribution of earthquakes. To provide more reliable estimation of the lithospheric thermal structure, some complementary approaches are possible. One of approaches is to update and incorporate the existing thermal data. A new version of database “Thermal Data Collection in and around Japan”, which contains continuously updated of heat flow and geothermal gradient data and adds thermal conductivity data in and around Japan, has been released in March 2019 [https://www.gsj.jp/data/G01M/GSJ_MAP_TDCJ_2019.zip]. This provides an opportunity to revisit the thermal state of the lithosphere along with other geophysical/geochemical constraints and on the lithospheric rheology and deformation, which is sensitive to temperature.</p>

The approach adopted in N.S.W. for investigating coastal processes leading to development of a numero-descriptive model for management purposes is outlined. The technique involves the formation of a regional coastal model and its adaptation to site specific cases. This site specific conceptual model is then tested and modified on the basis of theoretical calculation and field data collection. Two specific case histories are outlined.

This chapter provides several typical cases encountered in patients who develop infection in prosthetic joints after surgery. Both the assessment and the definitive management are considered, as well as the microbiology profiles and the need for protracted antibiotics. The aim is that the decision-making process is enhanced. Although the treatment pathways are specific to those cases outlined, the surgical principles should remain constant for all cases. Comprehensive membrane resection remains a key event when surgically eradicating prosthetic joint infection (PJI). This act improves with experience. To improve outcomes for cases of PJI we encourage data collection within networks.

The development of the hydration stages for electron microscopes has opened up the application of electron diffraction in the study of biological membranes. Membrane specimen can now be observed without the artifacts introduced during drying, fixation and staining. The advantages of the electron diffraction technique, such as the abilities to observe small areas and thin specimens, to image and to screen impurities, to vary the camera length, and to reduce data collection time are fully utilized. Here we report our pioneering work in this area.

Electron tomography is a technique where many projections of an object are collected from the transmission electron microscope (TEM), and are then used to reconstruct the object in its entirety, allowing internal structure to be viewed. As vital as is the 3-D structural information and with no other 3-D imaging technique to compete in its resolution range, electron tomography of amorphous structures has been exercised only sporadically over the last ten years. Its general lack of popularity can be attributed to the tediousness of the entire process starting from the data collection, image processing for reconstruction, and extending to the 3-D image analysis. We have been investing effort to automate all aspects of electron tomography. Our systems of data collection and tomographic image processing will be briefly described.To date, we have developed a second generation automated data collection system based on an SGI workstation (Fig. 1) (The previous version used a micro VAX). The computer takes full control of the microscope operations with its graphical menu driven environment. This is made possible by the direct digital recording of images using the CCD camera.

This study investigated whether young children with specific expressive language impairment (SELI) learn to combine words according to general positional rules or specific, grammatic relation rules. The language of 20 children with SELI (4 females, 16 males, mean age of 33 months, mean MLU of 1.34) was sampled weekly for 9 weeks. Sixteen of these children also received treatment for two-word combinations (agent+action or possessor+possession). Two different metrics were used to determine the productivity of combinatorial utterances. One metric assessed productivity based on positional consistency alone; another assessed productivity based on positional and semantic consistency. Data were analyzed session-by-session as well as cumulatively. The results suggest that these children learned to combine words according to grammatic relation rules. Results of the session-by-session analysis were less informative than those of the cumulative analysis. For children with SELI ready to make the transition to multiword utterances, these findings support a cumulative method of data collection and a treatment approach that targets specific grammatic relation rules rather than general word combinations.
