Surface value
Article Abstract:
The Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) focuses on boundary element analysis. Proponents of the boundary element method (BEM) claim that it uses a more sophisticated mathematical formulation than finite element analysis (FEA), and is particularly suited to simulating the mechanical, acoustical and electromagnetic properties of materials. WIT affiliated to the University of Wales, and it has 25 MSc and PhD students. WIT has worked with many blue chip companies such as British Aerospace, General Electric, and Westland.

Assessing Opal's impact
Article Abstract:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency emergency response services have prepared maps representing the expected damage level in Florida once Hurricane Opal passes through the area. A geographic information system containing data on demographics and public works was used to generate maps showing the expected damage and impact zone information for specific coastal and inland counties. Computer simulation of coastal and inland flooding provided the necessary data for evacuation and transportation plans.

Impact of physiological state on surface thermodynamics and adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Article Abstract:
The effects of physiological state on cell surface adhesion and thermodynamics were analyzed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cell surface tension measurements of Pseudomonas aeruginosa indicated decreased electron-donating potential during the stationary phase. The hydrophobicity of the bacterial cell wall was enhanced in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fe(III)-deficient cultures. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity of the cell surface was enhanced by the presence of fimbriae and pili.
