Henry Sun
Thank you, Larry and thank you all for joining us today. Welcome to Highpower International's fourth quarter and fiscal year end 2013 earnings conference call. I will begin with an overview of both our full year 2013 and fourth quarter financial results which we have reported in our press release issued this morning. Then we will turn the call over to the Chairman Pan for some brief remarks and next to turn to Bryan, who will tell some of our recent sales and marketing initiatives. Finally, I will discuss our guidance for fiscal year 2014 before opening up the call for your questions.
Let me start by stating that 2013 was a transformative year for Highpower, as we continued to position the company through investments in R&D and infrastructure to capitalize of future growth opportunities for lithium batteries, including electric vehicles all at the same time achieving top-line growth and profitability. We are excited to end the year on such an exceptional note, having once again generated record revenues in our lithium battery segment and overall record revenues for the company.
As we have mentioned before much of our growth is coming from the strength of our lithium battery business, which continues to grow at a very rapid pace and is driven by long term consumer demand trend. Lithium battery net sales were up 53% in fiscal year 2013 as compared to 2012. Our total lithium battery volume per ampere hour increased by an impressive 50% year-over-year. We continue to benefit from selling higher capacity large format batteries and increased orders from both new and existing customers. Nickel-Metal Hydride net sales were up slightly in 2013 by just under 2%. We continue to gain market share with volume increase of approximately 10% but this was offset by an average selling price decline of approximately 8% due to cost savings from lower commodity prices and competition. We continue to believe this business is stable and important source of revenue for our company but it will not experience the similar growth in volume that our lithium battery business is expected to achieve.
Total net sales for our fiscal year 2013 were $132.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 18% compared with $112.6 million for fiscal year 2012. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $20 million increase in net sales of lithium batteries and $1.1 million increase in net sales of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries which was partly offset by an $800,000 decrease in revenues from the materials business as we shift away from materials trading to preparing for a materials processing and reflecting type 1 [ph] in our Ganzhou facility.
Gross profit for 2013 increased to $26.4 million compared with $23.7 million for 2012. Our gross profit margin was 20% for 2013 compared to 21% for 2012. The lower gross margin in 2013 was primarily due to decreases in the average selling prices of Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an increase in labor costs for the comparable period.
R&D spending was $5.7 million for 2013 as compared with $4.6 million for 2012 which reflects our ongoing commitment to R&D activities and the expansion of our workforce in research focused on basic materials and electrochemical platforms and the development of complex battery management systems. Selling and distribution costs were $6.2 million for 2013 as compared to $5.3 million for 2012, reflecting increased investment in sales and marketing, including participation in industry trade shows and expanded international sales efforts.
General and administrative expenses including stock based compensation were $12.1 million for the 2013 compared to $11.5 million for 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in management staff headcount to support the growth of our business. Net income attributable to the company for the year end December 31, 2013 was $1.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share, based on 13.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with the 2012 net income attributable to the company of $1.7 million or $0.13 per diluted share.
Next, I will cover our fourth quarter 2013 financial results. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $38.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 25% compared with $30.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a 29% year-over-year sales increase in our lithium battery segment which was offset by a 4% decline in our Nickel-Metal Hydride battery sales.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased to $8.6 million compared with $6.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit margin was 22% for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with 21% for the prior year's quarter. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to higher sales volumes, lower commodities cost and a greater percentage of higher end battery product sales. R&D spending was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared with $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to the increase in our workforce to expand our research and development efforts.
General and administrative expenses, including non-cash stock based compensation were $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 as we continue to outgrow our management team to support the growth of our business.
Net income attributable to the company for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.2 million or $0.09 per diluted share, based on 13.9 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with the net income to the Company of $0.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Now turning to the balance sheet. At December 31, 2013, Highpower International had cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash of $36.6 million, total assets of $151.8 million and stockholders' equity of $34.7 million. Total debt was $67.3 million at December 31, 2013. If you account for the $28.6 million of restricted cash held as partial collateral against portions of our bank debt, our adjusted total debt is $38.7 million. Our bank credit facilities totaled $74.6 million, of which $29.3 million was available at the end of the year.
Our relationships with our vendors continue to be strong and we remain confident that we are able to support our current debt levels, as well as fund our expected capital expenditures for increment in 2014. Our day sales outstanding improved to 69 days for the fourth quarter of 2013 from 72 days for the fourth quarter of 2012 as we remain focused on working capital management.
We spend approximately $20 million in capital expenditures in fiscal year 2013. The cash tax was primarily spent on the payment lines for our new manufacturing facility in Huizhou, Guangdong province. We expect to reduce the CapEx in 2014 in the $5 million to $10 million range. I should note that we have started delivering product from this new facility. We expect that by the second half of the year production will be a fully ramped up on the first line and we expect to generate over $20 million of revenues part of this facility in 2014. We intend to produce high volume orders of mobile device batteries and larger format lithium batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems at this new facility. As a reminder this facility's infrastructure is capable of supporting up to four times of the existing production capacity.
We have also been allocating some of our capital expenditures to the new battery and e-wave and refactoring facility that we are building in Guangzhou, Jiangsu Province which we expect to launch in the second quarter of 2014. We remain committed to our pioneering efforts in the battery refactoring space. Some of our existing large customers as well as potential customers in our pipeline have expressed interest in our refactoring initiatives. This refactoring platform helps us to serve as another key differentiator for us in winning new business. Being on the forefront of this trend makes sense from both a business and environmental perspective, especially over the next few years when increasing amounts of complex energy storage systems and electric vehicle batteries need to disposed of.
According to a Frost & Sullivan report, the EV lithium battery recycling market is expected to worth more than $2 billion by the year 2022, with more than half of the million end of life EV battery packs becoming available for recycling through the waste stream. We expect our sales and marketing and G&A costs to come down as a percentage of total revenues in 2014. However, our investments in R&D will continue at a healthy pace. Our R&D spending is focused on technical intellectual property and solutions as we strive to remain competitive and at the forefront of the market in advanced higher margin products including energy systems and electric vehicles.
In the fourth quarter of 2013 approximately 67% of our revenues was from China including Hong Kong, and 10% from the rest of Asia. Europe contributed approximately 16% of our revenue for the fourth quarter with the remaining 7% of our revenue coming from North America and the rest of the world.
Now I will turn the call over to Chairman and CEO, George Pan for some brief remarks.
George Pan
Thank you, Henry. I just wanted to welcome you all to our year end conference call. I want to tell you that appreciate your interest and investment in Highpower International. We have never felt better about our Company as many of the [indiscernible] we have been working are now beginning to pay off. Our newly opened facility in Huizhou and our recently announced first major order in the EV market gives us tremendous momentum and increased brand recognition in our [indiscernible] and as Henry mentioned we are looking for orders to starting our battery recycling period this year. All in all we are optimistic about 2014 and I look forward to updating you on our progress as we move forward.
I will now turn the call over to Bryan Bai, VP of sales.
Bryan Bai
Thank you, George. Firstly I would like to spend a little bit of time reiterating our sales strategy. We are always focused on our sales efforts in the fast growing consumer electric markets. We target Fortune 500 companies as well as top 10 companies in various vertical industries worldwide. Our market penetration capabilities will ensure that our global sales distribution is diversified geographically and that we maintain market leadership.
Next I would like to talk about a very significant event that occurred after our fourth quarter close; Highpower's first large scale interest into the Chinese electric vehicle market. We received our first over order for lithium batteries to be used in electric buses from [indiscernible] Energy Technology Limited. Consistent integrator serving various manufacturers throughout China. As we speak we already started shipping our products to [indiscernible]. Both 16 ampere hour and 10 ampere hour lithium polymer batteries that have passed the quality check approval by both China National Quality Center and [indiscernible].
As batteries were reused in some of China's well-known brands of hydrating electric buses and plugging operated electric buses, it is estimated that electric bus were used 96 of the 16 ampere hour batteries, where it's plugging operated electric bus will use 200 each of the 20 ampere hour batteries. Highpower expects sales to range in between $4 million to $5 million during the fiscal year of 2014. This order represent a significant milestone for Highpower as we have now exceeded our target markets from the traditional consumer electronic markets to new segments; include the rapidly growing electric vehicles market. We expected to secure more EV customers this year and will continue to focus on our R&D efforts to developing complete battery solutions beyond batteries.
With respect to the electric vehicle market that is effective that the market will grow from an estimated 35 million units sold in 2012 to nearly 130 billion in 2022 driven by e-bikes but also by more restricted initial standard throughout the board. However the value of the marketing expense is expected to grow at twice the pace of the unit volume as larger and more expensive vehicles are increasingly affected to adopt the technology. Motorcycles, military vehicles, busses and earth movers are among the types of vehicles that will migrate to the use of electric battery.
In addition experts believe that in 10 years a higher percentage of the global output of sliding industrial vehicles, commercial vehicles and cars will be electric. Beyond customer additions we continue to build the Highpower brand name by increasing our attendance at international industry events included CIS and the 31st International Battery Seminar. We have a strong lithium battery customer pipeline and recently added another major customer in Europe for personal care products. We are excited to bring on the additional tier 1 international customers in 2014, causing us to remain very optimistic about our lithium battery business.
Thank you. And now I will turn it back to Henry.
Henry Sun
Thank you Bryan. Finally I will address our outlook for fiscal year 2014. Based on our current expectations for global demand for the rechargeable battery market in 2014 and our continued shift towards mobile power sources, higher value energy system and transportation products, we're issuing 2014 guidance of revenues to range between $150 million to $170 million and net income to range between $2.5 million to $4 million.
Before opening up the call to questions, I want to reiterate Chairman Pan's statement about the current trajectory for Highpower. We firmly believe that we are in an excellent position to profitably capitalize on the major trends that are occurring in the Lithium battery and e-waste recycling markets and look forward to keeping you updated on our progress throughout 2014 and beyond.
We would now like to open the call to your questions. Operator, please go ahead.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instruction). And our first question comes from the line of Brian [indiscernible] Capital. Please go ahead.
Unidentified Analyst
I wanted to ask with regards to the bus -- my question is with regards to the order and the EV sector for the buses. Can you give us an idea when you're going -- when those are scheduled for delivery, if your schedule product is scheduled for delivery to the client?
Henry Sun
Actually, we mentioned it already, already, Brian first of all thank you for the question. We actually already started generating.
Unidentified Analyst
That's great. And can -- little follow up, can you address the capacity of the recycling facility now and as you go forward?
Henry Sun
The recycling facility we're going to start the operation Q2 this year. So, the capacity is actually of 40,000 metrics tons of metal, that is line capacity, but we can give more color on the actual asset.
[Operator Instruction]. And our next question comes from the line of Walter Ramsley with Walrus Partners. Please go ahead.
Walter Ramsley - Walrus Partners
I was wondering if you could just kind of point out the key variables that explain the difference in sales forecast between 150 and 170 million? What might cause it to go from one end towards the other?
Henry Sun
So, in terms of product breakdown, Lithium battery will grow a lot faster than our Nickel-Metal Hydride business. As we have mentioned, we are seeing a flattened Nickel-Metal Hydride battery business -- I mean the market growth but we're consolidating all the players by providing better products and at competitive prices but our Lithium battery is growing a lot faster, not only than our Nickel-Metal Hydride business but also lot faster than our competitors. The average industry growth year-over-year for Lithium battery market is about 20% but we have seen -- we are growing over 50% year-over-year already. So, we're doubling the sales, the growth speed of the industry. And this year with a new plant in Huizhou we don't have the restraint for the capacity issue. So, for this -- but along we can deliver over $20 million in sales and on part of our existing screen power facility. And on top of the new facility actually our existing facility as spring power is also improving the equipment and efficiency. So, we'll see new sales addition from the Huizhou new facility. At the same time we're going to continue to grow our Lithium battery sales from the existing facility because of the efficiency improvement.
Walter Ramsley - Walrus Partners
Okay. Thank you. And as far as R&D spending do you have an idea of how much that's going to be in 2014?
Henry Sun
Well, 2014, in terms of the percentage, it will be around -- it will over 4%. Our forecast is about 4.5% for the year. We're going to continue through our dedicate R&D efforts to higher end products solutions. Firstly, it's on the large format battery sales. Beyond that we're spending resources on battery systems and also ESS and not only for EV but also for energy storage systems.
Walter Ramsley - Walrus Partners
Okay. And the gross margin, can you describe how the deprecation charge on the new facility will affect that over the course of the year and how it might look like as the company exists the year.
Henry Sun
The gross margin, actually for the existing -- overall we're going to see over 20% gross margin, but since the new facility we need to absorb fixed assets, expenses everything. The gross margin for the new facility this year will be low, but 2015 the gross margin will ramp up quickly because of the sales increase.
And our next question comes from the line of Mike Simmons [ph]. Please go ahead.
Unidentified Analyst
I was wondering if you could repeat 2014 guidance and then I have a follow-on.
Henry Sun
Sure, the 2014 guidance for the top line sales is $150 million to $170 million and the net income line is $2.5 million to $4 million.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay great. I'm also trying to get an idea of the capacity of this new manufacturing facility. Is there some way you could compare the new large EV order that you're already recorded in terms of how many orders similar to that this facility would be able to crank out in a typical year?
Henry Sun
Well for year one this year, our sales forecast for this facility is over $20 million. That's a conservative number. For this EV order, the order size is about 4 to 5, so you can roughly estimate how many orders of that will be hosted but actually this facility will not only produce EV batteries but also consumer electronics and also energy storage systems. Those are the three main areas that we're going to focus on though this new facility. But again, this EV battery contract range is only our first contract and we expect to gain opportunities from this facility.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay, the 20 million recorded for this year, that kind of – that depends on the facility ramping up to production in the second half. I probably expect in 2015 you'd be able to kind of on an annualized basis ship out more products than the $20 million number correct?
Henry Sun
Yes, correct.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay, can you give me an idea of what that might be, just the slag based on current metrics? Or is that difficult?
Henry Sun
Roughly more or less around $40 million, the year one sales.
And our next question comes from line of [indiscernible]. Please go ahead.
Unidentified Analyst
My question -- there's a couple of questions. I'd like to focus -- I heard you mentioned multiple times sales forecast and I would appreciate if you could differentiate with this new very, very large plant between sales forecast and capacity? And so with the current line that is already up in producing at the plant, what is the capacity of that line versus, this $20 million sales forecast you've mentioned? Number one. And then number two, what is the capacity of the entire plant? And how do you plan to build out that capacity over the next one, two, three years? And what are going to take into account in terms of how fast you'll build that capacity out?
Bryan Bai
Sure, the year one sales is 20 million. That's our budget for this new facility that if it's at full capacity we're expecting more less around $40 million because we have add on increment then. We can leverage the current platform. So for some positives, we can share increment. So for the second year, the $40 million in sales is sort of like full capacity for the current platform. And for year two, year three depending on the actual ramp up of the capacity, so we do a plan to host more increment from this facility. And we -- phase 2 and phase 3 will be planned out once the phase 1 increment is utilized. And we still have additional space actually in the new campus. And so we can continue to grow sales out of this campus.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay thank you. And the follow-on question was regarding your current somewhat lower gross margin Nickel-Metal Hydride business. Can you tell us a little bit about any measures you're taking to improve those margins? Number one. And can you comment on that in the context of it seems like there is fewer global Nickel-Metal Hydride players? How do you guys see yourselves sitting into or positioning yourself in that market over the next two to three years and what do you foresee the resultant impact will be on your margins in that business?
Henry Sun
Thank you for that great question. So our number one step is actually we are already contemplating new initiatives to change or improve the current decrement with new additional new equipment. We plan to reduce headcount in our Nickel-Metal Hydride facility. So this will actually greatly improve our gross margin. And secondarily as we've mentioned in the call, once we have this new facility for recycling up and running, we will rely less on external sources for raw materials. So we will generate some additional efficiency or raw material reliance on external suppliers and this will relieve the gross margin pressure as well. On top of that we have many patents to protect our technology to keep our Nickel-Metal Hydride business strong and competitive.
(Operator Instructions) And I'm showing no further questions in the queue. Please continue.
Henry Sun
Once again, on behalf of the entire Highpower team, I want to thank you again for joining us on today's call. Please feel free to contact Larry Clark or Tricia Ross at Financial Profiles at 310-478-2700 or myself if you have any follow-on questions. We look forward to seeing at conference over the next few months. As always we welcome you your feedback. Thank you and have a good day.
Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude our conference for today. You may now disconnect.

622 Tasting Notes
Thanks for the sample, Christina!
This blend is ok. It's aptly named. The dry smell definitely evokes a spring morning. Clean and fresh. Brewed, it tastes generically of berries. There is a pleasant juiciness. It really isn't bad, I've just come to expect a lot from flavored teas. Generic berry juiciness just doesn't cut it. This could be really good iced, though. I'll try it that way before delivering my final verdict.
This was my favorite tea before I really got into loose leaf. The spice is gentle. The sage lends depth. My brother drinks it with a ton of honey, but I prefer it straight. It's a little drying at the end. That's not usually a problem for me. Right now it's too darn hot to tolerate dryness though.
I think this is a sipdown. It's hard to be sure. I had another teabag, but it's gone missing. I suspect my dad of purloining it.
EDIT: It's confirmed. My dad drank the other bag. He was amusingly surprised that I even noticed it was gone :-)
I picked up quite a bit of this during BrewTEAlly Sweet's stash sale. I had high hopes, but it's turned out to be pretty meh. The base is fine – just a nice woody rooibos. The flavoring is bad. It smells and tastes extremely artificial. I've had unflavored teas with more realistic honey notes.
This tea is drinkable, but it's not actively enjoyable. I used it mostly as a bedtime tea because I tend to fall asleep before finishing my cup and I never felt wasteful letting this one go cold. It doesn't actually taste any better cold, fyi.
Oh well. Sipdown.
Whoa. The dry leaf smells just like black cherry soda! Brewed, the scent is a rich, creamy, chocolate with a sheen of Maraschino cherry. But the flavor doesn't quite live up to the scent. There's no chocolate! There's dryness and a heavy mouthfeel, but no particular taste until a lingering Maraschino cherry note comes in at the end. When the tea cools, it just tastes like flat black cherry soda. I have real black cherry soda in the fridge, thank you very much (Dr. Brown's, of course). Although… maybe this would be a good candidate for a tea soda. Not an impressive showing so far.
At some point I will write a proper tasting note for this blend. This is not that point.
I have this with the regular black tea base and with an oolong base. The flavor is pretty close between the two. I'm actually not usually a big fan, but yesterday my tummy hurt and this tea really hit the spot. Also, the vanilla flavor becomes more prominent as the tea cools.
I've always enjoyed this hot in my travel mug. Since the weather's gotten warmer, I decided to try it iced. I brewed the tea hot and refrigerated it for about 24 hours. Made this way, the bergamot really pops. The brew is smooth throughout with a gently minty finish. Very refreshing and light. I can definitely see this as a good summer tea when the weather really heats up.
Flavors: Bergamot, Mint
I've been trying to use weekends as an opportunity to try more teas gong fu style. I made this one in my favorite new teapot/gaiwan. I picked it up for the equivalent of $5 US in a cheap home goods shop in Taipei. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's shaped like a gaiwan, but it has a handle and a small spout with built-in filter. I can't decide if it's a gaiwan-shaped teapot or a modernized gaiwan. Either way, it's pretty and convenient and I love it.
I used approx. 3 tsp in 4 oz of water. All steeps used boiling water. I gave the leaves a 5-second initial rinse.
first steep – 1 minute
The scent here is roasty honey goodness. The flavor is toast with a hint of sweetness. There's a dry mouthfeel after the sip, which works well with the toastiness.
second steep – 1 minute 30 seconds
This came out weaker than the first steep. Other than being weaker, it smells and tastes exactly the same.
third steep – 2 minutes
This straight up tastes like toast with honey. Mmmm.
fourth steep – 2 minutes, 30 seconds
Now it tastes like honey with toast! I love how the notes stay basically the same but their prominence changes.
This tea is great for a chilly night or rainy day. There's a warmth here that goes beyond the temperature of the brew. It's comforting without feeling decadent. Just don't forget to eat actual food at some point!
A rare Butiki sipdown for me!
This tea is about a year old, so I wasn't expecting much. I picked it up during our Taste of France swap last year. My best guess is that it came from Fuzzy_Peachkin. Thanks! She hasn't been around in a while; I hope everything is ok and it's just a Steepster break.
I brewed this tea gong fu style with boiling water. The first steep smelled sweet and fruity. I picked up notes of pit fruit and either sweet potato or mushroom in the brew. Subsequent steeps were more savory, with just a hint of sweetness. Always a smooth, heavy mouthfeel. It's ok but it didn't knock my socks off. It doesn't seem fair to rate this given that the leaves are so old, but I was not a huge fan when I first tried it 9 months ago either.
Noooo! I seem to be all out of this! I could have sworn I had a few bags left but now they are nowhere to be found. I suspect my dad of swiping them – he really likes this tea.
So this is a backlog, in that I'm writing from old memory and haven't had a cup of this in at least two weeks. But I do have a pretty distinct memory of it because I quite enjoyed it. The rose smell of the dry bag is permeating. It's a very natural scent that's strong but not overpowering, if that makes sense. Brewed, the flavor is a lovely balance of rose and chai spiciness. My dad and brother both like it with honey. I prefer it plain or with a splash of rice milk. Probably a restock next time I see it in the store.
Me too! I'm glad my family likes it too, but I'm a touch cranky that they drank it all! Wissotzky's Bedouin Chai is also pretty popular around here. It was my favorite tea before I discovered Steepster and got really into tea. My brother still reaches for it as a first choice.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), which is sitting on a cash pile of nearly Rs. 73,000 crore, is on a debt-raising spree again and has mopped up $1.5 billion (Rs. 7,650 crore) through an overseas bond sale progamme over the weekend, two people with the direct knowledge of the development said.
With the latest debt raising, the Mukesh Ambani-led oil, gas, petrochemicals and retail giant has raised $4 billion so far this year, with the first two being a $1.5-billion issue in February and another $1 billion issue in May.While RIL spokesperson refused to comment, the banks which snapped up the issue could not be reached.
Of the $2.5 billion raised by RIL (which still is one of the least leveraged large corporates in the country with less than 0.50% debt-equity ratio) earlier, the proceeds from first issue of $1.5 billion were mopped up by its US subsidiary for its shale gas programme, while the other was meant for its Jamnagar complex expansion.
The current funds will also be used to finance its capital expansion programme as planned.
The latest unsecured syndicated loan has two maturities.
While $1 billion are a six-year US dollar money, the rest $500 million are a 7.25-year money, according to sources, who did not reveal the pricing of the issue. This is the first longest tenor unsecured syndicated debt raised by an Asian issuer this year. The instrument, sold in the North American, European, Asian and Australian markets, was snapped by as many as 28 international and domestic banks.

Trout is back in the lineup Thursday, at DH
HOUSTON – Mike Trout is back in the Angels lineup at DH on Thursday after missing most of the previous four games with stiffness in his back.
Trout started Tuesday, but once the game began he didn't feel as good as he did during pregame, so he had to come out.
He said Thursday is different.
"This is way better," Trout said. "The trainers did a good job."
Trout had already taken some swings in the cage and done some running in the outfield. If all goes well Thursday at DH, he expects to be back in center field when the Angels begin a homestand Friday night.
The Angels also have Chris Iannetta starting against a right-hander for the second time in three games, indicating the platoon may be breaking down. Hank Conger is in an 0-for-16 slump.
Here are the lineups for the 4 p.m. rubber game against the Houston Astros, with Tyler Skaggs facing Brad Peacock.

Eleanor Riley graduated from Bristol University with degrees in Cellular Pathology and Veterinary Science. After an internship in Veterinary Pathology at Cornell University (USA) she studied for a PhD in immunology and parasitology in the Department of Veterinary Pathology at the University of Liverpool. She began working on the immunology of malaria in 1985, as a member of the senior scientific staff at the Medical Research Council Laboratories in The Gambia, West Africa. In 1990, Eleanor moved to the University of Edinburgh as a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow. Eleanor moved to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in October 1998 where she is Professor of Infectious Disease Immunology. Eleanor is currently Chair of the BBSRC Bioscience for Health Strategy Advisory Panel and Deputy Chair of the MRC Infections and Immunity Board.
MSc Immunology of Infectious Diseases - core immunology course, advanced immunology (memory) and parasite immunology (malaria).
MSc Medical Parasitology - core course, immunology of malaria.
Our work concentrates on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of immunity to infection, with a longstanding interest in anti-malarial immunity. We study the immunological consequences of malaria infection in endemic and non-endemic populations, conducting immuno-epidemiological studies of the relationship between defined immune responses and acquisition of clinically protective immunity, and relate these observations to data from experimental model systems and in vitro studies. We also conduct research oriented to the development and evaluation of anti-malarial vaccines.
A major aspect of our ongoing work is the immunobiology of Natural Killer cells.
Current projects include (i) the contribution of Natural Killer cells to the induction and effector phases of vaccine-induced immunity, (ii) mechanisms of activation of NK cells by malaria infected red blood cells, (iii) differentiation and maturation of NK cells in UK and African populations, (iv) phenotype and function of NK cells in patients with myalgic encepahlitis/chronic fatiigue syndrome.
Current collaborations include:
- Imperial College, London: modelling of immune responses
- Medical Research Council Laboratories, The Gambia: studying cellular immune responses to vaccination.
- ICDR Kampala, Uganda: the immunology and seroepidemiology of malaria in areas of diverse malaria transmission.

... region at a big conference. About ten years ago it was just full on with mostly Israeli tourists. The government started a fear campaign at the border with signs stating that Hep C was prevalent, you are at risk etc, which resulted in a drop in tourism by about 50%. Now it's a tiny percentage. We are the only tourists here (one German couple left yesterday), but that's it! Ten years ago Samir(owner) said you had to step over bodies to go for a walk along the beach. Walking on the ...

It was another early morning. A 3:30am wakeup call. We had to be packed and ready to leave the hotel for 4am. We had a 6am flight to catch to Sharim El Shiek.

With sliced pork shoulder & spinach
With braised pork belly and menma (pickled bamboo)
8 eggs
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
2 cloves garlic
2 pcs. ginger
1 star anise
2 scallions, cut into 1" sections
1. Bring a medium pan of water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium.
2. Prick the bottom of each egg carefully with a pin to make a small hole.
3. Place the eggs into the boiling water and cook for approximately 7 minutes (for a soft-boiled egg). Using a spoon or other utensil, swirl the eggs around the pan for the first couple of minutes of cooking to help the yolks stay centered inside the eggs.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately place under cold running tap water to stop the cooking. Let the eggs cool completely and then peel.
5. Combine the water, soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, ginger, star anise and scallions into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
6. Pour the soy marinade into a bowl and add the peeled eggs (make sure the eggs are covered with the marinade). Cover and marinate for 3-4 hours (no longer, or else the eggs will be too salty). Remove the eggs from the marinade. If not using right away, place in a container, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Ramen Soup Base:
7 quarts of water
2 lbs. chicken parts (or wings, drumettes, drumsticks, etc.), rinsed under cold water
2 pcs. of ginger, lightly smashed with flat of knife blade
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3-4 scallions, cut into 2" sections
2 medium carrot, cut into large dice
2 lbs. pork shoulder (pork butt), tied with kitchen twine
1. Add all ingredients into a large pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 2 hours or until stock is reduced by about 1/3. Skim off any scum that forms on top during this time.
2. Remove the pork shoulder to a cutting board and let cool completely. Strain the broth through a sieve (discard the chicken parts & veggies) and let cool. If not using the pork and stock right away, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Soy Sauce Tare:
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
2 tbsp. mirin
1 pc. ginger, lightly smashed with flat of knife blade
1 scallion, cut into 1" pieces
1 clove garlic, smashed
1. Place all the ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Turn off the heat and set aside.
1 lb. fresh ramen noodles (egg or wheat) or 2 17-oz. pkgs. Yakisoba noodles (blanched 20 seconds)
1 lb. spinach, blanched in boiling water about 1 minute, then rinsed under cold water
3 scallions, thinly sliced for garnish
Menma (pickled bamboo), optional
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the spinach 1 minute, then remove to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Squeeze or blot dry with paper towels, remove to a chopping board and cut into 2" sections.
2. In the meantime, slice the boiled pork shoulder into thin slices and cut each soy sauce egg in half; set aside.
3. Place the ramen soup base in a pot and bring up to a boil, then reduce heat and keep on a low simmer.
4. Bring the water for the spinach back up to a boil, add the noodles and cook 2-3 minutes or according to package instructions. Turn off heat and drain the noodles into a colander.
5. Place 1/4 cup of the Soy Sauce Tare and 2 cups of hot ramen soup base into each serving bowl (should make 4 servings). Divide the noodles between the 4 bowls and top with several slices of the pork chase, some spinach, 1 soy sauce egg (halved), sliced scallions and pickled bamboo (optional). Serve immediately while it's piping hot!
Chicken parts.
Rinse chicken well under cold water.
Smashed garlic, ginger, scallions, and carrot, for the soup base.
Add the chicken pieces, tied pork shoulder, garlic, ginger, scallions and carrot in 7 quarts of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook, uncovered, about 2 hours or until the liquid has reduced by about 1/3. Remove the pork to let cool, then strain the broth and discard all the remaining ingredients.
For the Soy Sauce Tare: garlic, ginger and scallions.
Combine all the Soy Sauce Tare ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and set aside.
For the soy sauce eggs: Sake, star aniseed, miring and soy sauce.
Using a pin, gently poke a small hole into the bottom (rounded end) of each egg. This will prevent the shell from sticking to the egg when you peel it after it's been boiled.
Bring water to a boil, add the eggs, swirl continuously for the first 2 minutes (to keep the yolks centered in each egg), then boil another 5 minutes. 7 minutes of cooking should yield soft yolks.
Rinse the eggs under cold water, then let cool completely before peeling.
Add the peeled eggs to the cooled soy sauce marinade. Cover and marinate 3-4 hours and remove the eggs from the marinade (don't leave in any longer or the eggs will become too salty). If not using right away, cover and refrigerate. You can add the leftover marinade to the soy sauce tare since they consist of basically the same ingredients.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and blanch the spinach 1 minute, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Squeeze or blot dry and cut into 2" sections. Set aside.
These are wheat noodles. I myself prefer the egg-based noodles which, if I can't find, I will substitute with Yakisoba noodles which are readily available in most American supermarkets.
Bring the pot of water used for blanching the spinach back up to a boil. Cook the noodles 2-3 minutes (if using Yakisoba, it only takes about 20 seconds, since these noodles are actually meant for stir-frying rather than for soup). Drain the noodles in a colander.
To assemble: Place 1/4 cup of soy sauce tare, 2 cups of hot ramen soup base into each bowl. Divide the noodles between the bowls and top with a few slices of the pork chase, spinach, scallions, Menma (pickled bamboo, if you can find it) and a halved soy sauce egg. Serve immediately while the soup is still piping hot!

BRIKWARS 2010: Chapter Q: QuikWars
Book One: Core Rules
Q.1 Overview of Play
Rolling Dice
Q.2 Armies
Q.3 Constructions
Q.4 Victory
The Nefarious Nega-BlokTrix
The earliest CLOan Negafigs appeared in the 1,991st BrikVersal Reconstruktion as the Negaverse's inverse, anti-awesome reaction to the Deadly SpaceMen of the BrikVerse. Luckily, their CLOan War invasion forces sucked badly and were easily crushed by the defending paladins of the purist Legit-eye Knights.
Lacking credible opponents, many Legitis abandoned the cause over subsequent Reconstruktions, seduced by the pagan Rainbowism that would later inspire the DarkTron Rebellion. The remaining Knights were caught unprepared when the Nega-Bloktrix arrived in BR 2,003 at the head of an unstoppable Poop Dragon armada. Her quick and dirty tactics overwhelmed the remaining Legit-eye Knights and made her the patron saint of QuikWars.
(BrikWiki entry:
The Nega-Bloktrix
"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."
- George S. Patton
For players without the time, energy, or attention span to take advantage of the full scope of the BrikWars rulebook, we offer this low-calorie substitute. QuikWars is not compatible with the BrikWars system, but is offered as a simpler introductory alternative.
Q.1: Overview of Play
is a skirmish wargame in which players with construction-brick armies send them onto a construction-brick battlefield to engage in vicious construction-brick combat. Players set up their battlefield and armies however they like. Players may choose to field similar armies in coordinated colors, but mismatched mishmash armies work just as well. As long as minifigs get brutally and hilariously slaughtered, everybody goes home happy.
After rolling dice to determine the order of play, players take turns orchestrating manuevers and assaults until only one army is left standing.
On each player's turn, each of his or her units can move any distance up to its Move rating, and pick up or drop any objects it comes across (assuming it has hands free to do so). Before, during, or after its movement, the unit has the option to either make one Attack or build any bricks it's carrying into new or existing constructions.
Rolling Dice
In QuikWars, all dice are standard six-sided cube-shaped dice. Any time a player rolls dice, any die that comes up '6' means they can add another die to the roll, increasing the sum. If that die also comes up '6,' they can add another die on top of that, repeating the process for as long as they keep getting sixes.
Q.2: Armies
In QuikWars, all
(miniature figures, or "little people") have the same attributes.
Move: 5"
stat describes how far a unit can move during a single Movement Phase - in this case, five inches. The minifig can run across five inches of level ground, climb five inches' worth of stairs or ladders, or leap over five inches of chasm. The only limitations to the 5" rule are these: a minifig can't jump higher than 1" in a single jump, and can never swim more than 2" in a single Movement Phase (it may still use the remaining 3" for regular movement on land before or after swimming).
Minifigs may pick up or drop any number of objects within reach during a Movement Phase. Lifted objects cannot be larger than a standard 2x4 brick unless multiple minifigs are working in cooperation.
Armor: 4
stat tells how much damage a minifig can absorb in a single attack. When a minifig takes damage, if the damage is 4 points or less, the minifig lives. If the minifig takes 5 or more points of Damage in a single or combined attack, it dies - knock the minifig over and, if appropriate, detach a couple of its body parts.
Each QuikWars army should have one specially-decorated minifig to be its
. Heroes have the same stats as regular minifigs, but they get two attacks per turn, and they may attempt one
Stupendous Feat
each turn.
Stupendous Feats are all the stunts that action-movie heroes are able to pull off that could never happen in real life - lifting up cars, running up walls, catching arrows in flight, dodging thousands of bullets, reviving a fallen comrade, seducing impossible numbers of minifigs of whichever gender, etc. If Xena, Jet Li, James Bond, Jackie Chan, or Arnold Schwarzenegger can do it, then the Hero is free to try.
To attempt a Stupendous Feat, a player declares the Feat his Hero is attempting to accomplish, and then rolls a Stupendous die. One of the opposing players rolls an opposing die to prevent the Feat from succeeding. If the Hero's Stupendous roll is equal to or higher than the opposing roll, then the Feat succeeds. If the opposing roll is higher, then the Feat fails, and the Hero suffers whatever effects would logically result from failing such an attempt. It's up to the players to decide on the most appropriate consequences for failure. In general, the more Stupendous the Feat attempted, the worse the consequences if it fails; and in all cases, the sillier the better.
Bare Hands
Hand Weapon
2 dice
Ranged Weapon
1 die
Body Armor
+1 die to Armor
-1 die to enemy Hand Weapons
1 die
Siege Weapon
2 dice
Each Minifig may attack with one of its
during its Attack Phase, and use it to do the Weapon's
to a single target within the Weapon's
. If the Damage is higher than the target's Armor, then the target is destroyed. If several Minifigs are in position to attack the same target, they may all combine their attacks together, adding all their Damage into a single massive roll.
Bare Hands
There is no unarmed combat in QuikWars. A Minifig without a weapon must use its bare hands to pick one up.
Hand Weapon
A Minifig with a Hand Weapon (e.g. a sword, axe, spear, etc.) may attack any unit or object that it can touch with the weapon, doing 2 dice of Damage.
Ranged Weapon
A Minifig with a Ranged Weapon (e.g. a bow, pistol, laser rifle, etc.) may attack any unit or object within 10", as long as the Minifig has a clear line of sight to some part of the target, however small. The attack does 1 die of Damage.
Body Armor
A Minifig gains an additional +1 die of Armor for wearing a piece of Body Armor.
A Minifig holding a Shield takes only 1 die of Damage from enemy Hand Weapons, rather than 2.
A Minifig may carry around loose bricks in one or both hands for whatever reason. In desperate situations, it can swing or hurl the brick at an enemy for 1 die of Damage. A Minifig can also attach loose bricks within reach to any appropriate surface, in order to build fortifications or repair vehicles or whatever other purpose. This counts as the Minifig's one attack for the turn.
Siege Weapon
A Siege Weapon is any weapon large enough that it must be mounted on a vehicle, on a building, or on the ground in order to fire. A Minifig may attack with a Siege Weapon if it's standing next to the appropriate controls. A Siege Weapon must be able to point directly at its target, and may only be fired once in a single Player's turn.
More powerful Super Siege Weapons are possible, but require more Minifigs to operate them. For each additional +1 die of damage and +5" of range, the Super Siege Weapon requires one additional Minifig with access to an appropriate set of controls for the weapon.
Move: 10"
Armor: 8
Vehicles constructed out of several bricks are counted as Constructions, described in the next section. Vehicles made from one piece, such as horses, motorcycles, or alligators, are called
If a mounted Minifig is killed or abandons its Steed, then any Minifig from any team may hop onto the abandoned Steed and ride off.
Q.3: Constructions
Anything built out of multiple bricks counts as a
, whether it's a base, a vehicle, a wall, or part of the landscaping. All Constructions are handled in the same way.
In order to damage a Construction, players focus attacks on one of its component bricks. If an attack's Damage exceeds the number of studs connecting the brick to the main model, then the brick is separated from the model and knocked off in whichever direction seems appropriate. If the Damage is especially massive, you may keep separating more bricks until the Damage is used up.
Constructions can be easily repaired or rebuilt by simply directing a Minifig to pick up a brick and re-attach it. Attaching a brick counts as the Minifig's one attack for that turn.
If a Construction has weapons, propulsion systems, or other devices, it will have to have
for the Minifigs to operate them. Controls must be represented by a steering wheel, a computer console, levers and buttons, or some other appropriate element.
Any Controls stuck onto a Construction instantly gain access to all of the Construction's weapons and devices. If more than one player has control of a Construction, they may each do whatever they want with the Construction and its devices during their own turn.
Propulsion Unit
Moves on
1 pair wheels / treads / legs
solid ground
1 sail / 2 oars
open water
1 helicopter rotor
1 pair thrusters
A Construction can be made into a
with the simple addition of one or more
Propulsion Units
. A Propulsion Unit is only useful when the Vehicle is on or in the appropriate terrain for that Unit.
Vehicles can carry one Minifig and move 5" per turn for each Propulsion Unit in use, up to a maximum of 15" per turn. If additional Minifigs climb aboard, the Vehicle is overloaded and must stop (or land, if it's flying).
Vehicles are not as maneuverable as Minifigs and Steeds. A Vehicle may turn at any angle at the beginning of its Movement Phase. It may then travel any distance up to its maximum Movement for the turn, but it must move in a straight line. If a Vehicle's pilot is killed or if its controls are destroyed while in motion, the Vehicle continues moving in the same direction at the same speed every turn until control can be restored.
When a Vehicle crashes into an object, both the Vehicle and the object take 1 die of damage for each Propulsion Unit the Vehicle is using at the time.
Q.4: Victory
Victory occurs when all opposing units have been wiped out and humiliated. What did you expect?

New polymer composites could replace traditional dental restorative materials
By Stephen T. Wellinghoff, Ph.D.
Materials scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) are developing a novel restorative material for use in making the composites used by dentists for tooth fillings, inlays, and crowns. The material, a polymer composite made from tantalum oxide and silica nanoparticle fillers incorporated in a liquid crystal monomer matrix, retains the desirable properties of existing composite restoratives but avoids their major shortcomings.
The development of this material contributed to the award in 1997 of a five-year, $3.4 million, multidisciplinary research grant to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) School of Dentistry and SwRI from the National Institute of Dental Research, a division of the National Institutes of Health. Scientists from SwRI's Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Materials and Structures Divisions are collaborating in this project. Dr. H. Ralph Rawls, professor in the UTHSCSA department of restorative dentistry, is director of the overall research program that also includes a dentin-stimulating project designed to increase the longevity of fillings as well as the strength of the tooth.
Improving the material properties of fillings, inlays, and crowns can reduce trips to the dentist, lower health costs, and provide better oral hygiene. Traditional composite restorative materials that are in popular use last only about ten years, while amalgam and ceramic materials can last twice as long
The engineering challenge of teeth
Teeth are primarily made of a natural ceramic, enamel, and a natural composite, dentin. The thin surface layer of enamel mainly consists of a calcium-based mineral called hydroxyapatite. Beneath the enamel, the bulk of the tooth is formed of dentin, a mixture of hydroxyapatite, collagen, water, and salts. A third type of tissue, cementum, lines the dentin under the gum line.
The mouth presents a harsh environment, both chemically and mechanically. Acids from foods, plaque-forming bacteria, and mouth secretions erode both teeth and tooth repairs. The act of chewing subjects the tooth and any associated filling or crown to what amounts to a series of hard blows. To choose an appropriate material for restorative purposes, dentists have to carefully assess the stresses that the material will encounter.
Molars, for example, bear the brunt of mastication and experience greater stress than teeth at the front. And, because the center of a tooth surface flexes more than its edges, a filling located in the center runs a greater risk of loosening if not properly bonded.
The ideal restorative material would produce no shrinkage during polymerization, provide wear resistance similar to enamel, adhere to dentin and enamel, be biocompatible and tooth colored, seal easily at the interface, and develop high early strength. To date, no commercially available restorative material meets all these ideal requirements. As a result, worn or cracked fillings are a common clinical problem resulting from the shortcomings of the materials and the procedures by which they are placed.
Problems in current restorative materials
Dental amalgam, the most widely used material for filling teeth at the back of the mouth, is an alloy of silver, tin, copper, zinc, and mercury. It is reasonably priced, strong, and dependable. However, its future seems uncertain. The silver color is no longer considered aesthetically acceptable, and getting rid of millions of potential environmentally hazardous old fillings provides a substantial disposal problem. The European Economic Union, for example, has already passed legislation to phase out the use of amalgam.
Composites used in the front of the mouth are generally made of silica or glass particles bound with a polymer resin. They have aesthetic advantages over amalgams in that color and texture can be matched to the patient's teeth by the addition of particulate fillers. However, they are particularly subject to shrinkage and loosening and are currently not strong enough to withstand the chewing forces in the back of the mouth. In addition, both dental caries and existing composite fillings have insufficient X-ray contrast with their surroundings, making it hard for the dentist to identify new areas of decay.
Current dental procedures using composites are lengthy and exacting. The dentist applies an adhesive to the tooth cavity after roughening the dentin with a mild acid to improve bonding. Next, the cavity is filled by layering and photocuring several successive composite coats. The light causes the monomer molecules to react with one another, linking them together to form a solid resin. Overlaying several increments and photocuring each is necessary to permit relaxation of the interfacial stress generated by polymerization shrinkage.
In addition, there are other problems associated with current composites. If the coating is too thick the polymer may separate from the surface during the setting process, weakening the bond to the tooth. Tiny gaps or cracks can occur at the interface between the filling and the tooth and harbor cavity-causing bacteria. The acid-etching technique also removes minerals from the dentin and can weaken the tooth. Dentin is wet and has a high protein content, complicating the search for appropriate bonding materials. Finally, polymer fillings are susceptible to staining and discoloration, making them sometimes unsightly.
Research goals
The primary goal in the NIH research project is to find a viable alternative for both current amalgams and composites by producing a tough and wear-resistant polymer that can be used anywhere in the mouth. This alternative material should not shrink as it sets, so that the adhesive bond between the tooth and the restorative material is retained. The material also needs to be gel-like at zero applied stress, and sufficiently malleable so that the cavity can be filled prior to photocuring.
These objectives require that the new material have a combination of properties, the synthesis, formulation and testing of which demand a multidisciplinary approach. The cooperation of scientists at SwRI and UTHSCSA is well suited for this. Active research cooperation and participation with commercial manufacturers is also anticipated, to ensure the material meets practical industrial needs and to encourage acceptance in the dental community.
Accomplishments: metal oxide-polymer composites
In the late 1980s, scientists in the SwRI Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Division were asked by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Flight Center to help solve a materials problem with astronaut face shields. Early astronauts on the moon had their vision disturbed by strange flashes of light caused by high energy particles passing through their non-radio-opaque face shields and stimulating their optic nerves.
The new face shield material had to be transparent, tough, and resistant to scratching and corrosion, as well as sufficiently radio-opaque to protect the astronauts from bombardment by the particles. SwRI chemists began to evaluate a group of materials known as polymer-ceramic composites.
Polymer-ceramic composites have the potential to combine the properties of polymers and ceramics -- particularly oxides -- in useful ways. Of special use are the so-called nanocomposites that consist of alloys of polymers with ceramic particles with diameters much smaller than the wavelength of visible light. These nanocomposites had potential for use as face shield material because of their high refractive index and their resistance to scratching and corrosion.
Using these materials, SwRI scientists were able to develop clear (transparent) polymer glasses with a heavy loading of tantalum oxide which successfully blocked the high energy particles. They achieved this by a sol-gel process using non-aqueous chemistry that allows the oxide particles to be blended with polymers to make a compatible and homogeneous system. Although there were some initial problems with the mechanical properties of the glasses, these were overcome by incorporating additional ductile reinforcing polymers into the material.
News of the availability of these optically clear but radio-opaque composite materials with high fractions of oxide particles was of great interest to the dental community. A clear, strong composite to which one can add pigments to give a tooth-like appearance seemed close to a dental ideal.
The next step in developing a restorative was the formulation of a matrix material which, when photocured, exhibits little or no shrinkage. Careful research in the chemical literature suggested the choice of a liquid crystal monomer. (Monomers are molecules that can be chemically linked to form a polymer). The literature indicated that, when carefully designed, these monomers expand on polymerization, offsetting the natural shrinkage that occurs when liquid monomers are converted to solid polymers. Liquid crystal monomers also have a desirable rheology; they are almost rigid when they are put in the tooth, yet are sufficiently malleable for dentists to work with. Using photoinitiators the monomers also harden when exposed to low-intensity blue light.
Liquid crystal monomer matrix
The synthesis and testing of the liquid crystal monomers proved time-consuming. Problems encountered included separation and purification difficulties and a tendency to crystallize into hard materials at room temperatures. For this reason it was necessary to initiate a chemical synthesis project in which dozens of monomers were created and various groups substituted onto the base molecule in an effort to make a monomer that is liquid-crystalline at room temperature. Two LC monomers resulted which appear to have the critical properties of transforming from a nematic, highly organized state at room or mouth temperature to an isotropic amorphous state when photocured, with sufficient expansion to offset the contraction that accompanies the formation of covalent bonds.
Mechanical material testing
A number of simple property measurements of the material have already been carried out by staff at UTHSCSA. The Health Science Center will also be responsible for performing future tests that characterize the color, shrinkage, and wear of the material. Some evaluations will be carried out in an environment that simulates the mouth, using artificial saliva.
The bulk of the mechanical and physical property characterizations will be carried out at SwRI by technical staff working under Dr. James Lankford, director of Materials Engineering. Lankford will conduct the extensive physical and mechanical property characterizations needed to ensure satisfactory performance. Testing will be more rigorous as the materials tested move in the direction of zero shrinkage. The Materials Engineering department will use standard technologies developed for similar materials, as well as certain tests specified in American Dental Association Standards. Some samples will be tested under tension for elongation and ductility, others for fracture toughness. Other required tests include wear characterization, stress-strain properties, fracture strength, and stiffness.
This mechanical and structural characterization stage of the project is vital for final acceptance of the product. Non-shrinkage is of little use if a material is too weak. The project has specific objectives; to meet them requires the achievement of a demanding combination of properties. Once these requirements are met, using standard small coupons, testing will move into full-scale mode. As production of the research material is scaled up over the next two years, a priority will be to ensure that all the original desirable material qualities are maintained.
The author acknowledges the significant contribution of Dr. Hong Dixon and Ms. Sunshine Leamon and Mr. Jacob Moore for their work in materials preparation for the project and Daniel Nicolella for the mechanical properties measurement.

Safety 101 When There's Been A Fire:
Safety 101 when there's been a fire:
Please remember these safety tips if your home or business has experienced a fire!
- Do not come into the property until we've secured it and declared it safe
- Also, listen to the fire department before going through items and belongings.
- Limit your exposure to the property. If you do have to be in the home or business, wear a mask and protective gloves and old clothes.
- Never run your HVAC system until the restoration process is complete.
- Gather all important or valuable items- looters do try to steal from homes that have been in a fire.
- Photograph damaged property- and properly document it all.
Pictures are truly worth a thousand words.
- Keep records of gas mileage, etc – often times your insurance will cover all of that!
- Keep children away from the property- the chemicals and smoke in the air can be bad for adults, but especially harmful to children!
