- Description: (From the introduction) Since the introduction of topical corticosteroid formulations, their use has become widespread, being prescribed for a large variety of dermatological conditions. This widespread use has created a need for a reliable method of assessing the various dosage forms of these compounds. Clinical trials are laborious, costly and difficult to mount as well as being impractical for the screening of large numbers of drugs. Patients suffering from dermatological complaints are not ideal subjects for the testing of topical corticosteroid preparations as it is difficult to obtain standardized lesions which are necessary for the comparison of results between patients (Baker and Sattar, 1968). For these reasons a number of methods have been developed for the screening of novel corticosteroids and testing of topical corticosteroid formulations.

Al/Cr ratios of coexisting pyroxenes and spinellids in some ultramafic rocks

- Description: Al/Cr atomic ratios of coexisting spinellids and ortho- and clinopyroxenes show a pattern of sympathetic variation that persists through ultramafic rocks of layered mafic complexes of upper-crustal type, Alpine complexes, and the nodules found in kimberlites and alkaline basalts. Simple expressions are empirically derived to link (Al/Cr) orthopyroxene and (Al/Cr)spinel ratios in putatively equilibrated rocks. Equivalence of spinel compositions in shallow layered complexes and kimberlite nodules of deep-seated origin negates direct crystallochemical control of Al/Cr ratios of spinels by pressure.

Assessment of the profit sharing schemes on certain Chamber Gold Mines, July-December 1992

- Description: In 1991 and 1992, the NUM accepted basic wage increases on the gold mines that were far below the annual inflation rate because of the crisis in the industry. The priority of the union was to preserve employment. But this left the door wide open for rich mines (like Kloof, Elandsrand and Vaal Reefs) to hide behind the low increases that are set in the Chamber negotiations at levels that Free gold, BuffeIsfontein and marginal mines can live with. The NUM decided that workers need a way of adding more money onto their wages If the mines can afford to pay more. The ideal is for a national wage policy in which the richer mines can help the poorer mines to pay the same wages. But this will mean new tax laws, new ownership rules and a new government to force it all through. Right now, the union needs a special policy for collective bargaining in an industry that is in long term decline. The economy is not growing, few new mines are opening, so workers who get retrenched are threatened with starvation. NUM has already accepted a reduction in real wage standards to slow down the speed at which mines are contracting.
