摘要

The first Institute conference of 2015, the Twelfth International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Machinery Failure Prevention Technologies, was held in the wonderful city of Oxford in June, with research papers from Finland, France, Poland, Spain, the UK, USA and others and outstanding plenary papers, all orchestrated masterfully by Professor Gelman. Concurrently, in Manchester, a human condition monitoring conference (cardiology) was held and a research paper by the eminent Oxford Professor Peter Sleight showed that a repeated 10 second rhythm reduced blood pressure. Further papers showed that a combination of music and exercise improved heart function and boosted brain power. Professor Gelman ensured that the delegates in Oxford obtained such benefits by providing music and a dance floor alongside dinner and even led the way by starting the dancing with BINDT's Karen Cambridge.
