Abstract
We learn with interest and pleasure that, by the unanimous vote of the Council, the position of Executive Officer to the Library Association has been given to Mr. Guy Keeling, B.A. We understand that over one hundred applicants were considered for the post, and that it was felt that by education and experience Mr. Keeling was eminently qualified for the work which lies ahead of the Association. Mr. Keeling is a Cambridge man, Still on the sunny side of forty, whose pleasing personality is known to many librarians who have met him at conferences of “Aslib” or at meetings of the London and Home Counties Branch. As for his work as secretary of Aslib, it has proved him to be a man of most efficient organizing capacity. We offer him a welcome to the larger sphere of librarianship and we feel sure that all our readers will do the same, and, what is better, will support him in all his efforts in it.

Abstract
The control of lateral redistribution of dopants, which is critical in VLSI geometries, can be greatly facilitated by fast and accurate simulation of the key steps in the fabrication process. To provide the basic tools for such simulation, a computer code has been developed that models nonlinear dopant redistribution within a silicon substrate whose surface may be simultaneously undergoing nonuniform oxidation. This code, MEMBRE (for Multidimensional Efficient Moving Boundary Redistribution) solves typical dopant drive‐in problems in seconds on the Cyber 176, IBM 3033, or CRAY‐1, by the use of efficient numerical techniques. Multistep fabrication schedules involving field oxide growth and high‐dose implantation and redistribution can be modeled in a few minutes execution time.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has great potential in the food industry. While 3D printing technology offers customised food products to consumers, it also allows producers to develop new products using a wide variety of alternative food ingredients, modernise the production process and carry out environmentally friendly production. This research aims to determine the attitudes of students towards 3D foods who are studying in the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, as they are both consumers and examine different food processing systems and use them in the field of application. As a result of the study, it was identified that the participants believed that 3D printing is a great modern technology that allows the development of new foods, that it will bring benefit to us in the future, reduce the cost of food and food waste, increase the sustainability of food and that they see it as environmentally friendly. In addition, it was determined that the participants did not think that 3D-printed foods were disgusting; they found these foods reliable, could try them in the future and were excited to experience them.

Abstract
The calculation of undercarriage landing reactions and dynamic stresses is discussed, and the merging of the two calculations under certain circumstances is proposed. ? formulation of the combined problem is outlined, and numerical examination of a simple case shows that in some cases the reaction forces are appreciably reduced by the adoption of the combined approach. Finally, a criterion is derived which could be used in the early stages of undercarriage design to predict the elicci of aircraft flexibility.

Abstract
DURING a test flight on a prototype Javelin aircraft, a flutter incident occurred involving the loss of both elevators. The pilot was fortunately able to continue flying the aircraft using the tail trimming control and subsequently made a crash landing. At the time of the incident all the recording instruments were running. These included an automatic observer, a chart recorder of control circuit forces and a two‐axis vibrograph which was mounted at the top of the fin. A copy of part of the record from the latter instrument is shown in FIG. 1. The upper stepped line is the timing signal and the lower trace gives the lateral displacement at the top of the fin, the rather spasmodic oscillations corresponding to the fin bending frequency of 4·8 c.p.s. The diverging oscillation shown on the centre trace corresponds to the vertical displacement at the top of the fin. From this and a similar record obtained from the elevator circuit force recorder, it was concluded that the elevators fluttered symmetrically at a frequency between 21 and 22 c.p.s.

Abstract
This study explores the teaching of International Accounting on both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in New Zealand in New Zealand's polytechnic and university sectors. Included in the study is an analysis of course outlines of international accounting courses from business and commerce faculties of the New Zealand tertiary sector. The paper compares the teaching of international accounting in New Zealand with that of the United Kingdom, Australia and the US. Results suggest that even though international accounting issues have been given significant prominence in accounting research as of late, there is a paucity of International Accounting education offered to New Zealand accounting students including in comparison with the UK, Australia and the US. Through our analysis and discussion we seek to engender a more critical review of international accounting education.

Abstract
The environment in which public administrators are working is increasingly becoming one that is based on network relationships and expectations for active collaboration. Within this evolving environment the value preferences of administrators are subject to challenge and possible change. This article offers an approach to understand the dynamics of value preferences of public administrators through the lenses of stakeholder theory and bureaucratic responsiveness. A set of propositions are offered for future empirical study and to begin a discussion on the relationship between responsiveness, value creation, and the ultimate achievement of successful collaboration

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to interrogate if the legal status of a cannabis affects money laundering activity. The legal status of cannabis continues to evolve globally; at the same time, its market remains enormous. Much of this market represents dirty money from criminal acts, which often requires laundering. In the context of changing cannabis regulations, legislation, and policies, the authors propose the possible implications such changes may have on the extent of money laundering.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper proposes the implications of the evolution of cannabis regulations on money laundering activities, using the theoretical underpinning of rational choice. Using Australia as a replicable critical case study, the paper, using the Walker gravity model and using United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime-reported prices of cannabis from 2003 to 2017 and Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission reports empirically validates the effects of cannabis regulations on the proceeds available for laundering.
Findings
This study finds support for the argument that prohibitive measures toward cannabis use contribute to increases in the need to launder generated proceeds.
Research limitations/implications
The findings can be replicated in other countries and may contribute to novel propositions within the debate on the legalization of cannabis use, which has, thus, far primarily focused on the areas of health, crime, taxation and education.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study has yet attempted to provide an economic analysis of the effects of cannabis policy changes on money laundering.
