Witness the Birth of a Brave New World and Meet the 15 Pioneers Building FOX's UTOPIA
Get ready to witness the birth of a brave new world. On the daring unscripted series UTOPIA, 15 pioneering Americans wave goodbye - for an entire year - to the lives they've known, move to a remote location and set out to create a society from scratch. They've got limited supplies, wildly diverse backgrounds and zero bathrooms.
UTOPIA kicks off with a special three-night premiere, beginning on a special night, Sunday, Sept. 7 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following the FOX NFL doubleheader. The series continues in its regular time period, Tuesday, Sept. 9 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), with six special broadcasts on Fridays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), beginning Sept. 12 on FOX.
From executive producer John de Mol, and based on the hit Dutch television series of the same name, UTOPIA asks the question: "If you could restart the world, what would you do differently?" These 15 Utopians - seven women, eight men - have accepted The Challenge and each of them brings a unique skill set and ideal to UTOPIA. A lawyer, a preacher, a contractor, a chef, an ex-con and a soon-to-be-mom are among those seeking to build this new society. What conflicts will emerge, what leaders will arise and what ideals will shape this new world?
Fans will have the opportunity to witness life in UTOPIA with 24/7 access to live streaming video, episodes and exclusive content on UtopiaTV.com and the Utopia App. The UTOPIA App will be available for iOS, Android and Windows on Friday, Aug. 29. Check out UtopiaTV.com for more details and additional updates.

Article: In vivo efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine and artesunate-amodiaquine for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in children: a multisite, open-label, two-cohort, clinical trial in Mozambique.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mozambique adopted artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the year 2006, and since 2009 artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and artesunate-amodiaquine (ASAQ) have been proposed as alternative first-line treatments. A multicentre study was conducted in five sites across the country to assess the in vivo efficacy and tolerability of these two drugs.Malaria Journal 08/2014; 13(1):309.

Article: HIV Prevalence and Incidence in a Cohort of Women at Higher Risk for HIV Acquisition in Chokwe, Southern Mozambique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Reliable HIV incidence estimates for Mozambique are limited. We conducted a prospective HIV incidence study as part of a clinical research site development initiative in Chokwe district, Gaza Province, southern Mozambique. Methods: Between June 2010 and October 2012, we recruited women at sites where women at higher risk of HIV infection would likely be found. We enrolled and tested 1,429 sexually active women in the screening phase and 479 uninfected women in the prospective phase. Participants were scheduled for 12+ months follow-up, when they underwent face-to-face interviews, HIV counseling and testing, and pregnancy testing. We observed a total of 373.1 woman-years (WY) of follow-up, with mean (median) of 9.4 (9.7) women-months per participant. Results: The prevalence of HIV was 29.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27.0-31.8%). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, factors that remained significantly associated with prevalent HIV were: older age (OR: 0.6; 95% CI: 0.4-0.7), lower educational level (OR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.3-0.7), and using hormonal contraception (OR: 0.6; 95% CI: 0.4-0.7) or condoms (OR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.3-0.7). We observed an HIV incidence rate of 4.6 per 100 WY (95% CI: 2.7, 7.3). The HIV incidence was 4.8 per 100 WY (95% CI: 2.5, 8.3) in women aged 18-24 years, 4.5 per 100 WY (95% CI: 1.2, 11.4) in women aged 25-29 years and 3.2 per 100 WY (95% CI: 0.1, 18.0) in the 30-35 years stratum. None of the demographic factors or time-varying behavioral factors examined was significantly associated with incident HIV infection in bivariable analysis at p <= 0.10. Conclusions: We found a high HIV incidence among sexually active young women in Chokwe, Mozambique. HIV prevention programs should be strengthened in the area, with more comprehensive reproductive health services, regular HIV testing, condom promotion, and messaging about multiple sexual partners.PLoS ONE 05/2014; 9(5):e97547.

Article: Rapid increase of Plasmodium falciparum dhfr/dhps resistant haplotypes, after the adoption of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine as first line treatment in 2002, in southern Mozambique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In late 2002, the health authorities of Mozambique implemented sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)/amodiaquine (AQ) as first-line treatment against uncomplicated falciparum malaria. In 2004, this has been altered to SP/artesunate in line with WHO recommendations of using Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs), despite the fact that all the neighbouring countries have abandoned SP-drug combinations due to high levels of SP drug resistance. In the study area, one year prior to the change to SP/AQ, SP alone was used to treat uncomplicated malaria cases. The study described here investigated the immediate impact of the change to SP on the frequency of SP and CQ resistance-related haplotypes in the Plasmodium falciparum genes Pfdhfr, Pfdhps and Pfcrt before and a year after the introduction of SP. Samples were collected during two cross sectional surveys in early 2002 and 2003 involving 796 and 692 children one year or older and adults randomly selected living in Maciana, an area located in Manhiça district, Southern Mozambique. Out of these, 171 and 173 P. falciparum positive samples were randomly selected to measure the frequency of resistance- related haplotypes in Pfdhfr, Pfdhps and Pfcrt based on results obtained by nested PCR followed by sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP)-ELISA. The frequency of the SP-resistance associated Pfdhps double mutant (SGEAA) haplotype increased significantly from 14% to 35% (P < 0.001), while the triple mutant Pfdhfr haplotype (CIRNI) remained high and only changed marginally from 46% to 53% (P = 0.405) after one year with SP as first-line treatment in the study area. Conversely, the combined Pfdhfr/Pfdhps quintuple mutant haplotype increased from 8% to 26% (P = 0.005). The frequency of the chloroquine resistance associated Pfcrt-CVIET haplotype was above 90% in both years. These retrospective findings add to the general concern on the lifespan of the combination of SP/artesunate in Mozambique. The high frequency of quintuple Pfdhfr/Pfdhps haplotypes found here as early as 2002 most likely cause ideal conditions for the development of artesunate tolerance in the P. falciparum populations and may even endanger the sensitivity to the second-line drug, Coartem.Malaria Journal 07/2008; 7:115.

Article: RTS,S/AS02A Malaria Vaccine Does Not Induce Parasite CSP T Cell Epitope Selection and Reduces Multiplicity of Infection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The candidate malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS02A is a recombinant protein containing part of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) sequence of Plasmodium falciparum, linked to the hepatitis B surface antigen and formulated in the proprietary adjuvant system AS02A. In a recent trial conducted in children younger than age five in southern Mozambique, the vaccine demonstrated significant and sustained efficacy against both infection and clinical disease. In a follow-up study to the main trial, breakthrough infections identified in the trial were examined to determine whether the distribution of csp sequences was affected by the vaccine and to measure the multiplicity of infecting parasite genotypes. P. falciparum DNA from isolates collected during the trial was used for genotype studies. The main trial was carried out in the Manhiça district, Maputo province, Mozambique, between April 2003 and May 2004. Children from the two cohorts of the main trial provided parasite isolates as follows: children from Cohort 1 who were admitted to hospital with clinical malaria; children from Cohort 1 who were parasite-positive in a cross-sectional survey at study month 8.5; children from Cohort 2 identified as parasite-positive during follow-up by active detection of infection. Divergence of DNA sequence encoding the CSP T cell-epitope region sequence from that of the vaccine sequence was measured in 521 isolates. The number of distinct P. falciparum genotypes was also determined. We found no evidence that parasite genotypes from children in the RTS,S/AS02A arm were more divergent than those receiving control vaccines. For Cohort 1 (survey at study month 8.5) and Cohort 2, infections in the vaccine group contained significantly fewer genotypes than those in the control group, (p = 0.035, p = 0.006), respectively, for the two cohorts. This was not the case for children in Cohort 1 who were admitted to hospital (p = 0.478). RTS,S/AS02A did not select for genotypes encoding divergent T cell epitopes in the C-terminal region of CSP in this trial. In both cohorts, there was a modest reduction in the mean number of parasite genotypes harboured by vaccinated children compared with controls, but only among those with asymptomatic infections.PLoS Clinical Trials 06/2006; 1(1):e5.

Article: A simple, high-throughput method to detect Plasmodium falciparum single nucleotide polymorphisms in the dihydrofolate reductase, dihydropteroate synthase, and P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter genes using polymerase chain reaction- and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based technology.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr), and dihydropteroate synthetase (dhps), and chloroquine resistance transporter (Pfcrt) genes are used as molecular markers of P. falciparum resistance to sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine and chloroquine. However, to be a practical tool in the surveillance of drug resistance, simpler methods for high-throughput haplotyping are warranted. Here we describe a quick and simple technique that detects dhfr, dhps, and Pfcrt SNPs using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)- and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based technology. Biotinylated PCR products of dhfr, dhps, or Pfcrt were captured on streptavidin-coated microtiter plates and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (SSOPs) were hybridized with the PCR products. A stringent washing procedure enabled detection of remaining bound SSOPs and distinguished between the SNPs of dhfr, dhps, and Pfcrt with high specificity. The SSOP-ELISA compared well with a standard PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism procedure, and gave identical positive results in more than 90% of the P. falciparum slide-positive samples tested. The SSOP-ELISA of all dhfr, dhps, or Pfcrt SNPs on 88 samples can be performed in a single day and provides quick and reproducible results. The system can potentially be modified to detect SNPs in other genes.The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene 03/2005; 72(2):155-62. · 2.74 Impact Factor
Article: Efficacy of chloroquine, amodiaquine, sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and combination therapy with artesunate in Mozambican children with non-complicated malaria.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper reports a two-phase study in Manhiça district, Mozambique: first we assessed the clinical efficacy and parasitological response of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine (CQ), sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ), then we tested the safety and efficacy in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria, of three combinations: AQ + SP, artesunate (AR) + SP and AQ + AR. Based on the WHO (1996, WHO/MAL/96.1077) in vivo protocol, we conducted two open, randomized, clinical trials. Children aged 6-59 months with axillary body temperature > or = 37.5 degrees C and non-complicated malaria were randomly allocated to treatment groups and followed up for 21 days (first and second trial) and 28 days (first trial). The therapeutic efficacy of AQ (91.6%) was better than that of SP (82.7%) and CQ (47.1%). After 14 days, 69% of the strains were parasitologically resistant to CQ, 21.4% to SP and 26% to AQ. Co-administration of AQ + SP, AR + SP and AQ + AR was safe and had 100% clinical efficacy at 14-day follow-up. The combination therapies affected rapid fever clearance time and reduced the incidence of gametocytaemia during follow-up.Tropical Medicine & International Health 03/2004; 9(2):200-8.

Figures 6, 7 and 8 are longitudinal sectional views through the improvement showing the samearranged on varying classes of suction feet.
As the manner in which suction feet on printing presses act to raise the top sheet trom the remainder of a pileI of sheets is well-known in the art, itis not deemed nec-u essaryto enter into 'a detailed description of' such yoperation in this application, especially as the ypresent invention pertains only to an attachment for such suctionA feet. However,
i922. Yseriali No. 558,906.
- the drawings I have illustrated a sufficient portion .of a printing press to disclose the application of the improvement thereon.
I'lhe feed boX contains va floating stock table 1 which is adapted to be automatically raised as the sheets of paper are removed .l therefrom, such raising being effected in the feet are adjustably mounted on the bar 2,
the means for latching the same adjusted beingbroadly indicated by the numeral/8. In accordance with the varying thicknesses of the paper sheets to be raised by the suction feet, the apertures inthe fiat under face ot each foot varies in size and arrangement, as disclosed in Figures 6,- 7 and 8 of the drawings, a suction bein created when the separator bar is move in the usual manner, toward the top sheet on the table 1, the table 1 being also adorded a step by step direction upwardly in the usual manner. The flexible pipesthrough which the air is drawn for creating the vacuum necessary in the suction are indicated, in the drawlngs Aby the numeral 9 respectively, but it has not been deemed necessary to illustrate or describe the manner in which such suction is created, it being well known in the art.
f Each of the suction feet is Vsubstantially rectangular in plan` and it is my purpose to removably attach to the outer or end suction feet 7 blower feet 10, in accordance with this invention. As disclosed in Figure 5 of the drawings, the blower foot 10 is in the nature of across sectionally rectangular hollow member having one end provided with an angle tubular extension llformed at its outer end with a reduced neck porw tion 12 that terminates in a rounded boss or bead 13 for the reception"of the ends of the flexible branch air conducting pipes 1g. As
' 16, the said pipe 16 having its paage con- '.Ilected by a T to the supply pipe 18. I do not wish to be restricted to the precise manner inwhich the air is forced through the shoes 10, nor to the mechanism which regulates or controls the passage of airtherethrough,l it being, however, essential that the air be forced through the feet 10 at the same y interval that the suction is created between the feet 6 and 7 and the top sheet on the tablel. .e
Each foot 10 has its inner straight side provided with any desired number of air outlet apertures 19, and has its upper flat face` provided with a laterally extending metallic strip 20 that terminates in a downwardly directed lip 21. The lip 21 may be arranged at an inward angle, and is designed to engage with one of the sides or edges of .the .foot 7 `to eifectively hold-sthe foot 10 against the outer side or edge of the' said foot 7.
By means of my improvement, air is forcibly ejected at the desired interval between the top sheet'and the remaining sheets on the table 1, so that kdanger of the top sheet adhering to the next sheet will'be positively prevented. n additionto this'the feet 10 `serve as guides for. directing the suctionx -feet to the pile of sheets. The improvement is of an extremely simple nature, and
may be cheaply manufactured and readily applied to any pneumatic sheet separating device for printing presses.
Having described the claim l, The combination with a suction foot for drawing the top sheet from a pile of sheets, of means for injecting blasts of air between the top sheet and the sheet vnext thereto when a suction is createdv between the suction foot and the top sheet, said means comprising an air conducting apertured foot member arranged along one side of the suction foot, a laterally extending plate on said member disposed. over the top of the invention, I
suction foot, and spring means on the end of-vr said plate for contacting the side of the suction foot.
2. The combination with a suction foot for drawing the top sheet from a pile of sheets, of means for injecting blasts of air between the top sheet and` the sheet next thereto when a suction is created between the suction foot and the top sheet, said means comprising a hollow substantially rectangular member having an angle extension terminating in a nipple to which an air conducting hose is attached, said member designed to be arranged along one side of the suction ifo'ot and having spaced apertures therethrough, and clamping means carried by'themember or holding the same against the suction oot.

Mercury Milan Problems
Squeaks and creaks heard while driving over bumps and turning can be caused be a couple common sources and should be carefully diagnosed. Possible weld issues on the lower control arms can cause the noise concerns and require repair kits for the lower control arms from Ford. A jounce bumper (bump stop) rubbing against dry strut plate can cause an abrasion noise from the strut area. In this case the strut assembly should be disassembled to lubricate the jounce bumper and then reinstalled.
The automatic transmission may develop shifting concerns. On lower mileage vehicles, upgrading the software in the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) may correct the problem. As the mileage increases, internal transmission damage can occur. Repairs could involve replacement of the valve body or a complete transmission rebuild. Whenever major transmission repairs are made, it is important to be sure the PCM and the TCM have the latest software updates to help prevent these issues from reoccurring.
If the key will not come out of ignition, this may be related to problems with the shifter knob sticking and / or binding of the shifter bezel. Replace the shifter knob and / or shifter bezel as needed.
Mercury Milan Questions
Is this dealership repair? How much time and money involved?
I had a warning message come yesterday morning after driving one mile down the road, parked my car for the entire day at work. When I left work the warning message came on to service power steering now... and service advance trac as well. There has been no prior warnings or signs of issues present.
I just noticed the dash lights and seat heaters started flashing on and off. I heard the solenoid under the dash clicking on and off. I then noticed my headlights reflecting from the car in front of me. They were flashing on and off. When I took them off of automatic mode everything worked fine. ...
Mercury Milan Recalls
The steering motor sensor may fail, resulting in loss of power steering assist from the electric power steering system. Dealers will check the power steering control module (PSCM) for any trouble codes and replace the steering gear for vehicles that have codes relevant to the concern stored. If no codes are found, dealers will update the PSCM software free of charge to resolve the concern.
On vehicles equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, one or more wheel studs may break. If this were to occur, a vibration could develop and the wheel could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. To correct this concern, dealers will inspect the rear brake discs and replace them as necessary. Additionally, the wheel lug nuts will be replaced on all four wheels. The Ford recall number is 11S23.
The park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed in nineteen vehicles. These vehicles may not properly engage the transmission in the "Park" position. If this occurs and the parking brake is not set, unintended vehicle movement may result, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is expected to begin by May 28, 2010. The Ford recall number is 10C12.
Mercury Milan Reviews
Very pleased with my Milan. It has 90,000 miles. Still has the original brakes. The only maintenance performed (excluding routine maintenance) were blower fan for heater at 40K, Master cylinder at 90K. The car handles nicely. It gives a smooth, comfortable ride on the highway. Gas milage has remained consistent over the life of the car.
I have 75K highway miles on the car and now need a new transmission. Unfortunately Ford is only willing to give me 1K off sticking me with 3K in repairs to get it running again. When running the car is good but I have to say that all means nothing to me now that I have to replace the tranny. So unless you want a headache buy something else.
very thang comes on but it will not srart

Wow that sucked! I think I know even less about this game now that I watched the trailer, lol! The other trailer isn't much better either.
That wasn't a very good or helpful trailer
@Number_1_ Hey, as a Ravens fan, we can actually agree on something! ;-) Yes, worst trailer I've seen for a game in quite some time.

Bought this mattress for my husband who hates memory foam...this he loves. It like sleeping on your sofa. Mattress is firm but gives with your body's weight. No waiting for memory foam to bounce back and no heat from memory foam either. Its covered in a well made mattress cover which is not removable. All in all its a great mattress. Well worth the money.Read More
7.5 inch twin mattress
Like most reviewers here my experience with this mattress is positive. I've only had the mattress a few weeks, and have no complaints. It's very comfortable. The only issue is durability at this point. If it can stand up to the test of time it will be one of the best bargains in the history of bedding. Very well worth the price. -Also not there was no chemical smell when the mattress was unpacked-Read More
Foam Mattress
We ordered two of these for our kids. I had done some research to see if these were Memory Foam by using some key words from the description. My findings were inconclusive. I ordered them anyway. THEY ARE NOT memory foam or at least not like my tempur-pedic, but they are of good quality high density foam and perfect for kids. They arrived within four or five days. We are very happy with the purchase but wanted to save folks who are wondering if they are memory foam some time from doing research.Read More
Who knew? Mattress in a box--perfect!
This mattress was perfect for our cabin trundle bed. I was worried about how the mattresses would arrive and was pleasantly surprised with an easy to maneuver box. I've transported lots of mattresses, but I've never been able to load two (2) twin mattresses in a compact car! I removed the mattresses from the box and laid them on top of the bed frame. Within 24 hours they were full height and size. We usually pull the trundle up and use the bed as a king size bed for adult children. Our kids are tall, over 6 feet and weigh between 150 - 180 lbs. They loved the mattresses and slept comfortably. The mattresses DO NOT have a wire ridge common on some twin mattresses.Read More
excellent buy
I love this mattress. It's the perfect density for me (firm but still comfortable), I've slept better than I have in years. I may well change all of the beds in the house to the foam mattresses.....great price.Read More

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/641,192, filed Jan. 15, 1991 now abandoned.
The invention relates to an interferometric measuring arrangement, preferably for use in chromatography, especially a device for detecting changes in refractive indices in transparent, preferably round, capillaries, by means of interferometric methods according to the precharacterising clause of patent claim 1.
Refractive index detectors are employed in liquid chromatography and especially for HPLC, SFC, FIA and CE uses. The detectors employed can generally be used universally, except where the substance to be investigated has exactly the same refractive index as the liquid in which the substance is present in dissolved form. The solution is generally referred to as the medium or the so-called mobile phase. The refractive index detector which underlies the invention and is used for measuring changes in refractive index is based on interferometry, especially for chromatographic techniques using capillaries. The capillary is used as the optical element in the production of the necessary interferogram. The important problems that arise when such detectors are used concern their low degree of sensitivity and their extreme temperature dependence.
When two beams of the same coherent light source pass along different optical paths and then coincide, amplifying and extinguishing interferences result. The optical path length is defined as the physical path length multiplied by the refractive index. The displacement of the interference pattern can accordingly be used to measure changes in the refractive index in the medium when the physical path length is kept constant. In the present case, the interferences are produced by lateral illumination of the capillary with the coherent light of, for example, a helium-neon laser. An individual laser beam that is directed onto a capillary is usually dispersed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the capillary. The angle of dispersion of the light intensity profile measured relative to the longitudinal axis of the principal ray is characteristic of the dimensions of the capillary and the refractive index of its walls and the medium located therein.
After impinging on the capillary, the light rays follow different paths, depending on the angle at which they impinge on the wall of the capillary and also depending on the refractive index of the medium. Interference patterns then appear between the deflected rays of different pairings of beams which emerge from the capillary in parallel form. The result is complicated superimposition of interference fringe patterns.
An important problem consists in finding and selecting the interference fringes to be evaluated, because not all interference fringes change when the refractive index of the medium in the capillary changes, such as, for example, interference fringes of rays that bypass the inside of the capillary. Owing to the superimposition of the different interference fringe patterns, it is also very difficult to find a suitable interference fringe (for example one belonging exclusively to one interference group) in order to obtain an undistorted, clear output signal.
The problem of the present invention is accordingly to provide a device of the type mentioned at the beginning by means of which it is possible to obtain an interference fringe pattern that can be evaluated in a considerably simpler manner. In addition, the temperature stability of the refractive index detector is to be increased.
The problem is solved by an apparatus according to the characterising portion of patent claim 1. In particular, it is proposed that the capillary be surrounded by a transparent material that has a refractive index that, within a tolerance limit of approximately �25%, corresponds to the refractive index of the capillary wall. That material is preferably a so-called matching fluid. The transparent material may, of course, also be a solid layer of material. Reflections at the outer wall of the capillary are thereby avoided. This means in practice that the resulting interference fringe pattern now depends only on the refractive index of the medium in the capillary tube and, as a result, the interference fringe pattern is simplified (less superimposition) and also the prerequisite for as simple a selection as possible of the suitable interference fringe is provided. The capillary can, for example, be immersed in a simple manner in this transparent matching fluid and it is possible to effect a simple adjustment of the refractive index of the matching fluid, for example by titration. It is also advantageous that, owing to the matching fluid, the customary round capillaries can be used. Although it would also be possible to use capillaries having a plane outer wall and a curved inner surface, that would require special capillaries that are difficult to manufacture at the present time, and, where they can be manufactured, the extra cost involved is unjustifiable.
Especially in cases where a matching fluid that surrounds the capillary is used, it is also possible to control the temperature of the capillary and the medium in a simple and accurate manner. The temperature-control apparatus is advantageously in the form of a heat exchanger which is immersed in the matching fluid; the heat exchanger is preferably a Peltier element. The matching fluid at the same time acts as a temperature-control bath for the capillary so that the stability of the temperature is substantially increased.
Additional developments of the invention are indicated in the other dependent claims. The invention, with its essential details, is explained in detail hereinafter with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a measuring device,
FIG. 2 is a sectional view along line II--II in FIG. 3 of a detection cell with the reference numeral 4,
FIG. 3 is a view of the detection cell from the direction of the arrow III in FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic cross-section through a capillary and the matching fluid surrounding it, and
FIGS. 5 and 6 show examples of interferograms.
The change in the refractive index of a medium 3 located in a capillary can be determined using the measuring arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 1. The capillary 2 is arranged inside a refractive index detection cell 4. A helium-neon laser 5 is used as the coherent light source. A polariser 6, a λ/4 plate 7 as well as a beam splitter 8 and a microscope objective 9 are arranged in succession in the path of rays. The main portion 10 of the coherent light passes through the beam splitter 8 and on via the microscope objective 9 to the detection cell 4. A specific interference fringe pattern is obtained depending on what medium is contained in the capillary 2.
An interference fringe 30 is selected from the interference fringe pattern by means of a detector, preferably a photodiode 11, which is preferably pivotable about the capillary 2 as the axis. A slit 29 defines the spatial extent of the interference fringe 30 so that only a portion of the light of the selected interference fringe 30 impinges on the photodiode 11. The second portion 40 of the coherent light, which is split off in the beam splitter 8, serves wedge filter 13 and conveyed to a reference photodiode 14. The signal produced by the interference fringe 30 in the photodiode 11 and the signal produced by the reference beam 40 in the reference photodiode 14 are fed to a differential amplifier 12 and compared with one another. Thus far the measuring arrangement corresponds to commercially available devices, for example the one described in an article by D. J. Bornhop & N. J. Dovichi in Anal. Chem., 1986, 58, page 504.
In order to record a greater area of the interference fringe pattern being produced, the slit 29 and the photodiode 11 are pivoted about the axis of the capillary, and the output signal of the differential amplifier 12 is recorded as a function of the pivoting angle φ (FIGS. 5 and 6).
In order to simplify the developing interference fringe pattern, the capillary 2 is surrounded according to the invention by a transparent material that has the same refractive index as the wall of the capillary 2. According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the capillary 2 is arranged in a matching fluid 15 the refractive index of which corresponds to that of the material of the capillary (normally fused silica) within a tolerance limit of approximately �25%. Reflections and refractions at the outside of the capillary 2 are thereby largely avoided. Accordingly, the superimpositions that occur are also reduced so that an interference pattern is available that is considerably simplified for the purpose of evaluation. The refractive indices of the capillary material and the matching fluid are preferably approximately the same and then reflections and refractions at the outside of the capillary are entirely avoided and superimpositions are completely prevented.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show recorded interference patterns as a function of the pivoting angle φ of the photodiode 11. FIG. 5 shows an example of a measurement carried out without the matching fluid 15 while FIG. 6 shows the results of measurements carried out with the matching fluid 15. It can be clearly seen that surrounding the capillary with a layer of matching material, preferably the matching fluid 15, results in a considerable simplification of the interference fringe pattern or the recorded output signals of the photodiode 11.
FIG. 4 shows diagrammatically a cross-section through the capillary 2 and the matching fluid 15 surrounding it. The light-inlet side 16 and the light-outlet side 17 are preferably plane-parallel faces. The light beam is indicated by its principal ray axis 10. As already mentioned, the refractive index of the matching fluid 15 is matched to that of the material of the capillary within a tolerance limit of �25%. The refractive index of the matching fluid used can be matched, for example, by titration. For that purpose, a transparent, organic solution having a refractive index that is slightly lower than that of the material of the capillary can continue to be changed by titration with another solution that has a refractive index slightly higher than that of the material of the capillary until, on immersing a portion of the capillary in the titrated solution, the capillary can no longer be seen.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show the structure of a detection cell 4. The matching fluid 15 and the capillary 2 are arranged in a chamber 20 delimited by plane-parallel glass plates 18, 19 arranged opposite one another. A metal block 21 consisting preferably of aluminium is used as a housing. This plate-shaped metal block has a through-opening 22 in order to form the chamber 20. One side of this through-opening 22 is formed by the glass plate 19 which is connected fixedly and sealingly to the housing. The glass plate is preferably glued in. The opposite side of the through-opening 22 is formed by the other, releasably arranged glass plate 18, one flat side of which rests on a sealing ring 23 formed by an O-ring. Pressure is applied to the other flat side of this glass plate 18 by a holding plate 25 which leaves open a passage window 24. The holding plate is connected to the metal block 21 by means of screws 26.
In order to increase the temperature stability, the temperature of the capillary is controlled. In a particularly advantageous manner, the matching fluid 15 is for that purpose used simultaneously as a temperature-control bath. A heat exchanger 27, which is immersed in the matching fluid 15, is used to regulate the temperature. The temperature of the metal block 21 is also controlled, for which purpose a fluid-carrying tube 28 is provided according to the embodiment shown. It is also advantageous that, owing to the comparatively large mass of the metal block and owing to the use of a material having good heat-conducting properties, heat fluctuations are buffered. The heat exchanger 27 and the tube 28 are connected to external temperature-control baths. In an especially preferred method of temperature control, for example electrical temperature regulation by means of one or more Peltier elements can also be provided. Owing to the temperature-control measures provided, a temperature stability as good as 2.5�10-2 K can be achieved. The control of the temperature of the capillary 2 by means of the matching fluid 15 offers, in particular, the great advantage that it takes place directly in the optically relevant portion of the measuring apparatus and is not, as in the case of the apparatuses known hitherto, arranged upstream or downstream of the actual measuring region.
The interferometric measuring arrangement according to the invention described with reference to the special case of the measurement of changes in refractive index can, however, also be used for measurements in the ultraviolet range or in the infrared range. It is also well suited to fluorescence uses, especially for measurements of laser-induced fluorescence. The choice of the layer of matching material depends also on the type of radiation used and the transparency of the material to this radiation.
The radiation normally used lies in the wavelength range of from approximately 150 nm to approximately 5000 nm. This fact alone that it can be used in a very wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum demonstrates the universal applicability of the interferometric measuring arrangement according to the invention.
In all, the use of a layer of matching material, the refractive index of which is within a tolerance limit of �25% of the refractive index of the material of the capillary, renders possible, in a simple manner, a considerable reduction and even prevention of interfering reflections and refractions of the measuring light at the outside of the capillary. By selecting a layer of material having a thermal-conduction coefficient that is at least slightly greater than that of the surrounding medium (normally air), the temperature stability of the measuring arrangement can also be significantly increased.

Message from the Dean
from the March, 2015 newsletter
Hello AGO Friends,
It's hard to believe another AGO year is in the books. We've had some great programs with lots of variety, from learning about Finale software to hearing some of the finest organ and choral talent available. It will be a hard act to follow, but your executive committee believes that we have done it with our line-up of programming for 2015-16. We're still arranging some of the locations and dates, but here's what we have planned thus far:
Saturday, September 26 - Potluck Picnic and Music Sale at historic Walnut Hill Church in rural Fayette County
Friday, October 23 - Concert by Brazilian organist Marcello Giannini - location TBD
Friday, November 6 - Concert by Jonathan Rudy, winner of the First Prize and Audience Prize at the 2014 AGO National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance - First Presbyterian Church, Lexington (co-sponsored by FPC as part of their Music for Missions concert series)
January - we're still working this one out, but I can tell you that if it comes together it will be a great choral/organ workshop activity and social event
February - anticipating another Snowmagedden, this program's going to be an easily rescheduled social activity, with a surprise twist-you'll have to come in order to find out what we have in store for you but we can definitely tell you that it will be fun!
March (early, in order not to coincide with Easter!) - a member recital, location TBD
April - POE Prep and social event, location TBD
May 21-22 - Workshop and Hymn Festival with massed choir, led by David Cherwien - location TBD (co-sponsored by Louisville AGO)
June - Dinner and Officer Installation Service, location TBD
July - Pipe Organ Encounter!
Complete details about all these programs will be sent in your August newsletter. You can also check the chapter's website (www.agolexington.org) or our brand-new Facebook page for information as it becomes available.
We are so excited to have been chosen to host a 2016 Pipe Organ Encounter! You'll be hearing lots about this in the upcoming months. Please read POE Director Zach Klobnak's letter elsewhere in this newsletter and be thinking about how you'd like to help with this important event for young organists. As with our Regional Convention in 2011, there will be places for everyone to be involved, and we want everyone to be involved. If you ask anyone who has attended one, he or she will tell you that a POE can be a life-changing experience for a teen. Who wouldn't want to be a part of something like that!
I hope you'll have plenty of opportunities this summer for relaxation and renewal. Several of you have told me that you're planning to attend the Regional Convention in Indianapolis in July, so I will see you there. If you attend other organ-related summer workshops and would like to do a short write-up about them for our August newsletter, please let Scott Heydinger, our editor, know.
I'd like to thank our executive committee members for all their hard work this year on behalf of the membership. We're looking forward to another great year, and I hope you'll be a large part of it!
Have a great summer,
POE Coming to Lexington in 2016
Thanks to Lexington AGO member Zach Klobnak, Lexington will host a POE in the summer of 2016! Please consider how you might help with arrangements. Volunteers are needed!

I'd like to meet someone that can have fun...
I'd like to meet someone that can have fun doing pretty much anything, has a good heart, a good head on their shoulders, doesn't take themselves too seriously and can recite lines from some of the great movies of our time...Caddyshack, Christmas Vacation, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Friday, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, (I think you see a trend here...) Office Space, Old School, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, A Christmas Story and the greatest movie of all time... Slap Shot. "She's a fantastic gal, I mean fantastic!" (If you got that one, we need to talk!) Seriously though, (well, I was kinda serious...) you get one life and you should enjoy it doing the things that make you happy with people that you love. I have two wonderful daughters, a great family and a career where I love the people I work with. As you can see, I like to joke around and have a good time, but I'm very serious when it comes to my career and parenting...so I'm not a total goof. ;) It's important to me that the person I meet also has a successful career. Anyway, I love heading up north in the summer. Been going to Glen Lake since I was 5. So much to enjoy up there...boating, water skiing, biking, tubing down the river, sunsets on Lake MI and just relaxing. Fall is my favorite season, mainly because of football. There's nothing like getting up on a crisp fall morning and heading to a tailgate... Go Blue! I love dressing up on Halloween...usually just pick a character from one of my fav movies and go with it (see Anchorman pic...yeah, that's a real mustache and that's Gene Finkel playing the cowbell). I ski and play hockey in the winter...I'm washed up now, but I can still hold my own...and the best thing about spring is that when it's over, summer is here! I enjoy a good steak, lobster, sushi, thai food, fine wine, a good dirty martini and bloody marys on Sunday. I'd love to travel more than I do, but sometimes the best weekends are when you don't have a plan and just go...I prefer Cancun over the Bahamas and I'd like to go on a cruise some day. Sitting in a hot tub with a beverage and a light snow falling down on you...yeeaahhh. Rather be at a dive bar than a country club any day...although I do love to golf. Gimme some High Life and bean bag toss or ladder golf and I'll be content for hours. I'll take an old pair of jeans, some flip flops and a t-shirt over Armani, but I enjoy wearing a nice suit. Don't think I could get by without my XM or DVR...and Go Wings! Well, enough about me. You've got a little taste of my personality and if you'd like to hear some more, I'd love to hear about you...

Love going to the beach. I can spend hours just hanging out, people watching, swimming, reading and relaxing. Fav beach on Lake MI is Ludington. Empire up north is nice too. Funky Buddha, Thornapple Pointe, Tin Can, The Score, JU, Planet Fitness
Like all kinds of music, even some country...very little, but some. ESPN, DIY, HGTV, AMC, History Channel, Discovery, and FX...Tosh.O and Ridiculousness crack me up.
First and foremost, I'm a sports guy. Not the paint your face up, wear no shirt in 10 degree weather and yell at the ref guy... I just enjoy anything to do with sports... also enjoy concerts, museums, the symphony, hot yoga, mountain biking, camping.
Not much of a book reader, but getting into it more recently. Mostly business related: Outliers, The Energy Bus, The Compound Effect, etc.

Raised Catholic, but I'm not a religious person. Treat others the way you want them to treat you...and as long as you are a good person, that's all that matters to me.
