THE USE OF CYBERNETICS ON THE RAILWAYS

BRITISH R?,~LWA'rS have been invited by the International Union of Railways (U.I.C.) to take part in an international symposium on the "'use of cybernetics on the railways" in Paris next November. In extending this invitation, the secretariat of U.I.C. said that British Railways seemed "'to be far more advanced in this field than is generally known".

Computer-aided design can be seen as a process in which a careful integration of the specific characteristics of man and machine is taking place. This integration may lead to better design results, quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The realization of this integration in c.a.d, systems necessitate

A de"nition of life (a living individual) in cybernetic terms is proposed. In this formulation, life (a living individual) is de"ned as a network of inferior negative feedbacks (regulatory mechanisms) subordinated to (being at service of ) a superior positive feedback (potential of expansion). It is

Triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) has a potent teratogenic effect on various mammalian fetal tissues as well as a steroid effect on the lung. Less well documented is the fact that it produces profound oligohydramnios. We wished to determine what effect TAC would have on branching morphogenesis and other

We investigated the effect of Maimendongtang on airway clearance and secretion in anaesthetized quails. The oral application of 1 g/kg of Maimendongtang significantly increased tracheal mucociliary transport velocity (MCTV), whereas 100 or 300 mg/kg of Maimendongtang failed to do so. Moreover, 300 m
