The "SIMON" Project ("On-line acoustic monitoring of structural integrity of critical power plant components operating at high temperatures") had a duration of 4 years (1.10.1993 -30.09.1997) the Project Consortium included CISE (Project Coordinator, I), MITSUI BABCOCK ENERGY (UK), HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY (IK), PROET / EDP (P) and ENEL (I). 

Assessing the effectiveness and reliability of Acoustic Emission (AE) in continuous, on-line monitoring of the structural integrity of critical thermal power plant components, such as steam headers and steamline sections, is the main objective of the work reported in this paper. This is part of the work carried within the BRITE - EURAM 6056 "SIMON" Project from 10.1993 to 9.1997 with the support of the EU Commission. The "SIMON" Project Consortium included CISE [I, coordinator], MITSUI BABCOCK ENERGY [UK] HERIOT WATT University [UK], PROET / EDP[P]andENEL[I],...

Figure 13-13 Spreadsheet for difference plot of the titration of 0.190 mmol glycine plus 0.232 mmol HCI in 40.0 mL with 0.490 5 M NaOH. Cells A16 B27 give only a fraction of the experimental data. Complete data listed in Problem 13-15 provided by A. Kraft, Heriot-Watt University.

Efforts to improve the original assumptions by van der Waals and Platteeuw were detailed in a review by Holder et al. (1988). Erbar and coworkers (Wagner et al., 1985) and Anderson and Prausnitz (1986) presented improvements to inhibitor prediction. Robinson and coworkers introduced guest interaction parameters into their prediction scheme, as summarized by Nolte et al. (1985). At Heriot-Watt University, the group of Tohidi and Danesh generated another prediction extension, with emphasis on systems containing oil or condensate (Avlonitis et al., 1989 Avlonitis, 1994 Tohidi et al., 1994a).

For Scotland (see Chap. 7), Glasgow was the overwhelming choice of women chemists. In part, this was probably due to the existence of a separate women s college, Queen Margaret College, in the early years while the total for Edinburgh includes Heriot-Watt College (later Heriot-Watt University). 

Hirst s scientific achievements, and services to the academic world were recognized by the award of honorary degrees by the Universities of St. Andrews, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Strathclyde, and Trinity College, Dublin, and as already mentioned, the Heriot-Watt University.
