The Iowa Flood Mitigation Program is created within Code of Iowa, Chapter 418. The Program seeks to provide funds for fl ood mitigation projects that otherwise would not be funded. The Flood Mitigation Board is responsible for the implementation of Code of Iowa Chapter 418. The membership of the Board is comprised of four voting public members appointed by the Governor, five voting members representing state agencies, four non-voting ex officio members of the legislature, and one non-voting ex officio member representing a state agency.

This paper presents the preliminary findings of pH and colour measurements carried out on artworks on paperand on wood that had been treated with a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) based adhesive in the 1980s. In both cases, areas treated with PVAC proved to be less acidic than untreated areas. Contrary to expectations, the conservation treatments have not, as yet, increased acidity levels in the objects under study. Colour measurements of the works on paper showed that those that had been backed with a cotton fabric using a mixture of methylcellulose and PVAC were less yellow than those from the same print run that had not been backed. This finding suggests that the backing somehow prevented the natural degradation of the support. In view of these preliminary results, further research is clearly needed. This study forms part of a broader ongoing project to assess the role of PVAC in the conservation of a range of cultural assets.

Joint Publications from Iowa Engineering Experiment Station - Bulletin No. 190 and Iowa Highway Research Board - Bulletin No. 19. This bulletin is a report on the development of bituminous paving mixtures containing various local materials and asphaltic binders. The laboratory investigations described in this bulletin were performed as part of Iowa Highway Research Board project HR-20, "Treating Loess, Fine Sands, and Limestone Dusts With Liquid Binders." This project was awarded to the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station of Iowa State University in 1952, and continued to June, 1958.

Joint Publications from Iowa Engineering Experiment Station - Bulletin No. 188 and Iowa Highway Research Board - Bulletin No. 17. In the design of highway bridges, the 'static live load is multiplied by a factor to compensate for the dynamic effect of moving vehicles. This factor, commonly referred to as an impact factor, is intended to provide for the dynamic response of the bridge to moving loads and suddenly applied forces. Many investigators have published research which contradicts the current impact formula 1,4,17. Some investigators feel that the problem of impact deals not only with the increase in over-all static live load but that it is an integral part of a dynamic load distribution problem. The current expanded highway program with the large number of bridge structures required emphasizes the need for investigating some of the dynamic behavior problems which have been generally ignored by highway engineers. These problems generally result from the inability of a designer to predict the dynamic response of a bridge structure. Many different investigations have been made of particular portions of the overall dynamic problem. The results of these varied investigations are inevitably followed by a number of unanswered questions. Ironically, many of the unanswered questions are those which are of immediate concern in the design of highway bridges, and this emphasizes the need for additional research on the problem of impact.

This is a summary of some of the activities the Board was involved with in 2011. More information about the Board’s work is available in the agendas, minutes, reports and press releases on the website, www.medicalboard.iowa.gov, and the Board’s page on Facebook. Much has been accomplished in the past year, but much more remains to be done. The Board looks forward to the many challenges that lie ahead and will continue to strengthen and enhance services to the public and licensees. I am very proud of the staff and Board members and their commitment to excellent service to the citizens of Iowa.

Nanotechnology has been heralded as a "revolution" in science, for two reasons: first, because of its revolutionary view of the way in which chemicals and elements, such as gold and silver, behave, compared to traditional scientific understanding of their properties. Second, the impact of these new discoveries, as applied to commerce, can transform the daily life of consumer products ranging from sun tan lotions and cosmetics, food packaging and paints and coatings for cars, housing and fabrics, medicine and thousands of industrial processes.9 Beneficial consumer use of nanotechnologies, already in the stream of commerce, improves coatings on inks and paints in everything from food packaging to cars. Additionally, "Nanomedicine" offers the promise of diagnosis and treatment at the molecular level in order to detect and treat presymptomatic disease,10 or to rebuild neurons in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. There is a possibility that severe complications such as stroke or heart attack may be avoided by means of prophylactic treatment of people at risk, and bone regeneration may keep many people active who never expected rehabilitation. Miniaturisation of diagnostic equipment can also reduce the amount of sampling materials required for testing and medical surveillance. Miraculous developments, that sound like science fiction to those people who eagerly anticipate these medical products, combined with the emerging commercial impact of nanotechnology applications to consumer products will reshape civil society - permanently. Thus, everyone within the jurisdiction of the Council of Europe is an end-user of nanotechnology, even without realising that nanotechnology has touched daily life.

A contract for Project HR-20 "Treating Loess, Fine Sands and Soft Limestones with Liquid Binders" of the Iowa Highway Research Board was awarded in December, 1951, to the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station of Iowa State University as its Project 295-S. By 1954 the studies of the fine materials and asphalts had progressed quite well, and a method of treating the fine materials, called the atomization process, had been applied. A study was begun in 1954 to see if some of the problems of the atomization process could be solved with the use of foamed asphalt. Foamed asphalt has several advantages. The foaming of asphalt increases its volume, reduces its viscosity, and alters its surface tension so that it will adhere tenaciously to solids. Foamed asphalt displaces moisture from the surface of a solid and coats it with a thin film. Foamed asphalt can permeate deeply into damp soils. In the past these unusual characteristics were considered nuisances to be avoided if possible.

In the search for new soil stabilizing agents the effects of six organic cations on plastic limit, liquid limit, shrinkage limit, air-dry strength and rate of slaking of a highly plastic clay subsoil were studied. In all cases the plasticity index and shrinkage were reduced by the treatments. The air-dry strength was lowered in varying degree, which was the only undesirable effect noted. With one exception resistance to slaking was improved. It is concluded that large organic cations show promise as possible stabilizing agents for highly plastic fine-grained soils.

This bulletin is a compilation of the reports on completed research done for the Iowa State Highway Research Board Project HR-1, "The Loess and Glacial Till Materials of Iowa; an Investigation of Their Physical and Chemical Properties and Techniques for Processing Them to Increase Their All-Weather Stability for Road Construction.” The research, started in 1950, was done by the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station under its project 283-S. The project was supported by funds from the Iowa State Highway Commission.
