Attainable Region (/ / ) is a systematic geometric method for the synthesis of a complex chemical reactor network. The concept has been developed in the last 15 years, starting with the pioneering works of Glaser and Hildebrand (1987). The visit of the website www.wits.ac.za (University of Witwatersrand, South Africa) may serve both as introduction and update in this topic. 

This work is supported by grants from the South African Medical Research Council, the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, the National Research Foundation and by ad hoc grants from the Bone Research Unit. We thank the Central Animal Services of the University for the continuous help with primate experimentation. 

Figure 4.13 illustrates the physical apparatus used within the COMPS Separations Group at the University of the Witwatersrand for these continuous CS experiments. The following key points within the experiment have been identified which will enable one to eventually achieve the aforementioned experimental goals and objectives, each of which will be subsequently discussed ...

Nabarro, Frank Reginald Nunes (1916-2006) is another exception to our rule. He studied at Oxford and Bristol University. During World War II he worked on the explosive effect of shells and was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). In 1953 he became head of the physics department at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. He is perhaps best known for Nabarro-Herring creep and the Peierls-Nabarro force.

Biomedical Engineering was a young and vital field in South Africa in the 1970s and the first academic programme in BME was established, significantly, at the University of Cape Town Medical School in late 1972, by Mickey Milner (who is well known in the IFMBE as a past president). Mickey and Terry van der Werff helped build up BME in South Africa and their and other enthusiasts efforts led to the establishment of BESSA in 1977. Shortly afterwards, Stellenbosch University and Pretoria University, followed by Witwatersrand University, started BME streams, all within existing engineering faculties. 

A. Silberberg B.Sc. (Eng.) in Chemical Engineering, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Entered the University of Basel, Switzerland, to study under Prof. W. Kuhn. Received the Ph.D. degree in 1952, "Summa cum laude, for a thesis in Physical Chemistry entitled Interfacial Tension and Phase Separation in Two Polymer-Solvent Systems . Appointed to the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, in 1953, promoted to Research Associate in 1954, to Senior Scientist in 1959, to Associate Professor in 1963, to Professor in 1970. 

The author, Joseph P. Michael from the Molecular Sciences Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, had already written two of the three previous reviews on this topic for The Alkaloids. In Chapter 3 of Volume 28, published in 1986, Arthur S. Howard and Joseph P. Michael presented the first fiaU coverage of Simple Indolizidine and Quinohzidine Alkaloids within this series. In Chapter 3 of Volume 44, pubhshed in 1993, Hiroki Takahata and Takefumi Momose gave an update on Simple Indolizidine Alkaloids . In Chapter 1 of Volume 46, published in 1995, David J. Robins described the Biosynthesis of Pyrro-lizidine and Quinolizidine Alkaloids . The last overview on Simple Indohzidine and Quinolizidine Alkaloids in this series was compiled again by Joseph P. Michael and pubhshed in 2001 as Chapter 2 of Volume 55. Thus, there could have been no better expert for the present review which is covering the tremendous development in this field from the middle of 1999 tiU the end of 2013. This view of the editor has been confirmed by Jo Michael s remarkably extensive compilation of exceptional quahty.
