Forget how you've been using computers!
Article Abstract:
Process calculations involve the use of a variety of electronic tools. Software advancements will most likely result in the availability of highly sophisticated process-simulation, costing, sizing and physical property-calculation software featuring a set of published interfaces using either COM or CORBA as the intersystem protocol. This, in turn, will lead to the use of a set of formal or de facto intercomponent communication standards as the generally accepted basis for developing chemical engineering software. A number of emerging software technologies are analyzed in relation to their impact on existing chemical engineering applications and how they will change the way chemical engineering software is developed and marketed.

R&D appropriations holding firm as Congress heads into home stretch
Article Abstract:
The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation (NSF) would continue to the biggest recipients of government funding for research and development projects for FY 2001. The NSF would receive $2.8 billion for research in 2001, 11% higher than its budget in 2000. Its Biological Sciences Directorate and Computer Information Science and Engineering Directorate are expected to receive the largest increases in funding.

Dryers: the lowdown on hot air
Article Abstract:
Dryer designs are continually being improved to keep pace with new products, new production technologies and user needs such as easy maintenance, versatility for quick product changeovers, energy-efficiency and space-conserving design. Some dryer innovations are, however, developed to meet more exacting product specifications such as the spray dryers with atomizers developed for manufacturers of non-agglomerated powder products.
