A mathematical model has been constructed to simulate the performance of a flour milling system consisting of multiple processing units such as roll machines, sifters and purifiers; the system is continuously fed with wheat. For convenience, however, the resultant model visualizes that particle streams of two different types pass through a processing unit. One type is composed of only particles of pure endosperm, and the other type impure particles; each impure particle contains both endosperm and bran. Passage through the processing unit effects changes in the relative amounts and size distributions of these two types of streams. In the model, the extent of such changes is determined by the transition matrixes of the processing unit; the size distributions of particles in the products from the system are determined by combining the output streams from intermediate processing units. The present model will be useful for developing a systematic approach for the design of a flour milling system to replace the current ad hoc approach.

Lee (Republic of Korea); P. Adlercreutz (Sweden); 0. Yenigun (Turkey); P. N. Campbell (UK). ?The Commission has chosen this series with a view to intensify the interrelations of chemistry and biotechnology. By improving the knowledge of chemists in the field of biotechnology it is hoped to initiate more ideas for applying biological methods in chemistry, inspire more use of chemical knowledge in the biological sciences and help scientists in both fields to work closer together. In the articles in the series, to be published in this journal, outstanding experts in their respective fields will give (a) an overview on topics related to the practical use of biotechnological methods in organic chemistry, (b) an outlook on upcoming research topics, their impact on existing areas and their potential for future developments. The Commission solicits comments as well as suggestions for future topics, and will aim to help in providing answers to any questions in this field. Names of countries given after Members' names are in accordance with the ZUPAC Handbook 1991-93; changes will be effected in the 1994-95 edition.

farmers single-handedly tend 100-300 ha. In the case of maize that has been made resistant to the European cornborer, it is the reduction in insecticide use that makes it attractive to the farmer despite the fact that this seed is more expensive than traditional varieties. New traits, important for world food security, are for example drought tolerance, metal tolerance and flooding tolerance. Here plant biochemistry and plant breeding open up new avenues. Can tropical areas be made more productive, without cutting down masses of tropical rain forest, worldwide the most important source of biodiversity? These are vital issues in a world with a population increase of 90 million per year, largely in developing countries. Many countries will need to double their food production in 30 years: this cannot be done without increasing yields.
