Mist deposition onto hairy root cultures: aerosol modeling and experiments.
We analyzed the applicability of the standard models for aerosol deposition in randomly packed fibrous filter beds to mist deposition across a bed of hairy roots in the nutrient mist bioreactor. Although the assumptions inherent in the models are met on a local level, the overall structure of the root bed introduces some uncertainty into the correct choice of root packing fraction and gas velocity required by the model. For reasonable parameter values, the minimum in the deposition efficiency curves is close to the peak in the mist number and mass distributions, and good penetration of the root bed is possible. We then measured the deposition of mist across a packed bed of Artemisia annua transformed roots as a function of droplet size, bed length, and gas flow rate at a root packing fraction alpha = 0.5. We compared the experimental measurements with the predictions of the aerosol deposition model and found good agreement between the measured and predicted values for the diameter where the deposition efficiency across the bed is 50%, D0.5. Agreement between the model and the experiments broke down when the flow rate was increased to the point where the creeping flow assumptions were no longer valid.

A study on awareness of AIDS among school students and teachers of higher secondary schools in north Calcutta.
Higher Secondary School students and their teachers were studied to assess the knowledge about AIDS and attitude towards AIDS patients. Only 13.5% senior school students and 16.2% teachers had clear knowledge regarding AIDS--its general aspects, transmission and prevention. Girls had higher and clear knowledge than boys. 45.8% of girls, 38.8% of boys students and 20.3% of teachers had positive attitudes towards nursing an AIDS case. It is suggested that schools have to device ways to open up more effective communication with students in relation to education on sex and AIDS. Training on AIDS should be emphasized on school teachers who on their turn can teach the students in a correct way about AIDS.
