- Description: We address the problem of virtual-videoconferencing. The proposed solution is effected in terms of a generic framework based on an in-house Virtual Reality system. The framework is composed of a number of distinct components: model acquisition, head tracking, expression analysis, network transmission and avatar reconstruction. The framework promises to provide a unique, cheap, and fast system for avatar construction, transmission and animation. This approach affords a conversion from the traditional video stream approach to the management of an avatar remotely and consequently makes minimal demands on network resources.

- Description: This paper describes the operation, and design of a MIDI-to-IP-to-MIDI router which overcomes the channel and distance limitations inherent in the MIDI protocol. It allows Windows-based programs and MIDI transmitters to route MIDI messages over long distances to MIDI receiving devices. Each networked PC in the system has one or more MIDI input/output ports. MIDI transmitters and receivers are connected to the input and output ports, respectively, and are given symbolic names. The system allows connections to be made between the transmitters and receivers.

- Description: Results generated by simulation of computer systems are often presented as a multi-dimensional data set, where the number of dimensions may be greater than 4 if sufficient system parameters are modelled. This paper describes a visualization system intended to assist in understanding the relationship between, and effect upon system behavior of, the different values of the system parameters. The system is applied to data that cannot be represented using a mesh or isosurface representation, and in general can only be represented as a cloud of points. The use of stereoscopic rendering and rapid interaction with the data are compared with regard to their value in providing insight into the nature of the data. A number of techniques are implemented for displaying projections of the data set with up to 7 dimensions, and for allowing intuitive manipulation of the remaining dimensions. In this way the effect of changes in one variable in the presence of a number of others can be explored. The use of these techniques, when applied to data from computer system simulation, results in an intuitive understanding of the effects of the system parameters on system behavior.

- Description: A system known as the MIDINet system has been created,which routes MIDI messages between MIDI-compatible source and destination devices. These devices are attached to nodes which in turn are linked into an Ethernet network. Message routing is facilitated by the MIDINet protocol, which is a layer above standard Ethernet. The performance of the system has been measured and documented. In order to address the nondeterminism of Ethernet, a token bus protocol layer has been introduced between the Ethernet and MIDINet layers. The MIDINet system is being used to enhance MIDI routing in a music studio network where studio resources are shared between remote music stations.

- Description: Shakespeare is very definitely not our contemporary. This seems very obvious, but we have a way of forgetting it, or rather of allowing it to elude us. For all sorts of reasons we would like to read his works as if they were by the genius bloke living next door. The surest way of re-vealing that he is not is to talk about the self, because at this level Shakespeare is very unlike us. When we attempt to talk about Shake-speare or any of his contemporaries it is very easy at a conscious level to keep a proper alien distance, but we leave unguarded the one area brought unstatedly into the conversation-our insinuating selves. In much the same way, he and his contemporaries informed all their con-versation by a necessarily unexamined self, a self which informed, constituted, everything they said and did. And because we do not artic-ulate its presence, we treat it like the inscribed circuitry on a silicone chip, the software of our word-processing programme or like English grammar. In other words. we assume. mistakenly. it is the same for all of us. But each of us does not have a pentium chip. nor do we all use Word Perfect. nor does every speaker in the world use English gram-mar (and there is no Universal Grammar). I have therefore set myself a very difficult task: to talk about what is presupposed by talk. though rarely talked about.

In vivo/in vitro assessments of topical hydrocortisone availability: correlation between blanching assay and laboratory cell experiments

- Description: From introduction: Topical corticosteroids are still the most widely used drugs in the treatment of dermatological conditions. Early corticosteroid dosage forms consisted of simple creams or ointments where more emphasis was placed on the potency of the drug molecule than on the intrinsic delivery potential of the vehicle. More recently, the effect that the composition of the semisolid base has on the extent of drug delivery has been researched to a much greater extent. These advances in the science of dosage form design have necessitated the refinement of precise and accurate methods for testing the drug delivery efficacies of the developed products. Obviously, the best method for the assessment of the effectiveness of corticosteroid formulations is in a therapeutic situation. Clinical trials, however, are fraught with methodological problems that make duplication of a trial impossible. Alternatively, a number of pharmacological models4 exist for this type of assessment, but it is often problematic to obtain correlation with the true dermatological conditions. The human skin blanching assay is one of the most reliable and reproducible of the ill vivo methods available for the assessment of topical corticosteroid formulations. The skin whitening (blanching or vasoconstriction) side-effect that follows corticosteroid application was first utilized in 1962 as a measure of the percutaneous absorption of corticosteroids from topical formulations. Optimization of this initial procedure7.s has produced a reliable and precise bioassay methodology for the assessment of the efficacy of topical corticosteroid formulations. One criticism of this assay has been the subjective nature of the observation procedure. Although these points have repeatedly been addressed in the literature, it has been suggested that it would be beneficial to have some ill vitro penetration data to supplement ill vivo observations, as this would strengthen the assessment of the topical equivalence of similar delivery formulations. With this objective in mind, a comparison of hydrocortisone release from two proprietary cream formulations was compared by in vivo and ill vitro techniques to determine if any correlation could be established between the methodologies.

Insects were collected on three Solanum species in the Transvaal and on 10 in Namibia. Solanum panduriforme E. Mey. and S. incanum L. were abundant in both regions, while S. capense L. was the most common species in Namibia. These three Solanum species supported an abundance of insect herbivores, which included many oligophages found on solanurns in other regions of South Africa. Most of the Solanum insect species were found on a wide range of host plants, in a variety of habitats and under various climatic conditions.

Local government and coloured residential segregation in Port Elizabeth, 1964-1976
- Authors: Taylor, Beverley J

- Description: preprint , Studies of racial territorial segregation affecting the coloured population in Port Elizabeth tend to perceive it as an outcome of a power struggle between central and local government over the implementation of apartheid legislation. This paper explores the underlying economic forces on the local government to bring about residential segregation and address the coloured housing crisis in the city. It is proposed that whereas central government motives for segregation were primarily political, local government was influenced largely by economic considerations. Local government objectives were severely compromised through both local industrial interests and the implementation of central government Group Areas policies.

- Description: A network has been created that allows shared access to the various resources of a MIDI-based music studio. Ethernet is used to transmit requests from the workstations to a server residing in a central studio area. These requests relate to booking resources, MIDI patching, audio patching and mixing, and multitrack recorder control. The server has MIDI control over custom-built MIDI patchers, and audio patcher/mixers. A PC-based unit, the MIDINot, has been developed to allow for MIDI transmission on the Ethernet.

- Description: Congress understood well what Cde Nqakula was saying and how important it is to mobilise all our forces to come in with a huge ANC majority in the elections. Delegates made sure through a strong resolution on elections that PPWAWU will play its part: the union will send a fulltime PPWAWU person to COSATU for voter education. This person is Sipho Kubheka and he is already at COSATU head office. One shopsteward from each region will also be released to assist COSATU. Branches must run voter education workshops at once with the education co-ordinator's help. Shopstewards must get time off to train as voter educators, and all workers must give R1 towards voter education.
