Yorkshire and Humber Institution of Civil Engineers Annual Debate Thursday 7 May 2015, 18.30 This year's topic: “This house believes that more than positive action is required to challenge social norms and encourage more women into engineering." Crossrail There is no doubt that to meet the future needs of the country and continue to compete internationally the UK must incorporate more women into the sector from the rich resource pool the UK offers. This educational debate, chaired and debated by industry professionals from across the profession, will explore the reasons why there are still so few women working in engineering and discuss what more, if anything, should our profession do. Chair: Alexandra Wynne BA MA - Deputy Editor, New Civil Engineer Speakers: Clare Brint MSc CGeol FGS - Senior Asset Engineer, Network Rail Mark Hansford MEng - Editor, New Civil Engineer Suzy Firkin BEng MA Ed - Development Director, WISE Campaign Jamie Scott BSc CEng MICE - Business Director, Rail, Hyder Consulting The meeting will start at 18.30 in Lecture Theatre 6, with a light buffet at 18.00 in Room D119. >>To book online visit the events section at: www.ice.org.uk/YH/070515-Debate For further information contact: Chris Hyde e: iceyandh@ice.org.uk @ICEYorksHumber Venue University of Sheffield Sir Frederick Mappin Building, Lecture Theatre 6 Mappin Street Sheffield, S1 3JD Sponsors ice.org.uk/yorkshireandhumber Registered charity number 210252 Charity registered in Scotland number SC038629 Please note that ICE is not responsible for any views expressed by the presenters or participants.

Dry Ice Market to Make Great Impact In Near Future by 2025
Dry Ice is solid form of carbon dioxide. Solid carbon dioxide is characterized by phase change from solid state directly to gaseous state without undergoing change into liquid state with an increase in temperature. As such, it does not lead to any residue post the phase change and hence is rightly termed as Dry ice. Dry ice manufacturing process involves initially compressing and cooling gaseous carbon dioxide to yield liquid carbon dioxide. In the next step, this liquefied carbon dioxide is allowed to undergo expansion following which it is pressurised to yield solid carbon dioxide or dry ice. Dry ice is often used instead of traditional water based ice due to relatively lower temperature(-79 degrees) of dry ice as compared to that of water based ice at the same time it does not melt into a liquid form, rendering it free from waste generation. Moreover, dry ice is non-flammable and non-toxic as opposed to some of the other refrigerants used.
