Results presented by Stockwell [9] for some of the hydride-forming elements and for mercury illustrate the enormous increase in sensitivity achieved with automated analytical chemistry methods (Table 5.2). Earher developments centred on the batch approach. These methods have recently been dropped (in favour of continuous-flow techniques) because they were not easy to use, were very dependent on operator abihty, and were difficult to automate. 

In Japan, there is a project aimed at capturing the considerable volume of hydrogen gas which can be obtained as a by-product steel production. R D will focus on the purification process of fuel from coke oven gas to an acceptable level for fuel cell utilisation. METI, the Japan Research and Development Centre for Metals and Nippon Steel are working on the project with a 2003 budget allocation of 549 million. Japan also operates the 4C/.f project which aimsto develop an optimum coal gasifier for fuel cells and the establishment of gas clean-up system for purification of coal gas to the acceptable level for utilisation for MCFC and SOFC. The budget allocations for 2000-2003 total 4.6 billion.

Nitrocubanes are probably the most powerful explosives with a predicted detonation velocity of >10,000 ms-1. Cubanes were first synthesised at the University of Chicago, USA by Eaton and Cole in 1964. The US Army Armament Research Development Centre (ARDEC) then funded development into the formation of octanitrocubane [(ONC) (C8N8016)] and heptanitrocubane [(HpNC) (C8N7014)]. ONC and HpNC were successfully synthesised in 1997 and 2000 respectively by Eaton and co-workers. The basic structure of ONC is a cubane molecule where all the hydrogens have been replaced by nitro groups (1.6). HpNC is denser than ONC and predicted to be a more powerful, shock-insensitive explosive.

An assessment centre is not a physical place but is a suite of exercises designed to assess a set of personal characteristics. Their use dates back to the Second World War when the British War Office developed them to select people with officer potential from within the ranks. Nowadays they are used quite commonly in medium to large size companies not only for job selection, specifically graduate selection or managerial appointments, but also increasingly in internal promotion and development of staff for managerial careers, when they are more often called development centres [AS].
