DescriptionThis photo appeared in the Bulletin, May 6, 1991. The text was: "Visitor from Ube A recent visitor to the University, Professor Hiomoto Usui, fro, Yamaguchi University in Ube, Japan, delivered three seminars to academic staff as well as students in the Department of Chemical Engineering. As a guest of the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Professor Allan Roberts, Professor UauiÃ¢Â€Â™s seminar topics included Ã¢Â€Â˜Research and Development in Coal-Water MixturesÃ¢Â€Â™, Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives; and Ã¢Â€Â˜Rheology and Non-Newtonian Fluid Transport Coal Slurry Transportation and Oil Pipe Line TransportationÃ¢Â€Â™. Whilst in Australia, Professor Usui was also invited to present a seminar at a one-day conference at Monash University. Professor Usui said his relationship with the University of Newcastle began when Professor Roberts visited his University for its 50th anniversary two years ago. He said that a new relationship of sister faculties is now being established with proposed exchange visits between academics from the two universities. He said that out if a total student population of nine thousand at Yamaguchi University, two and a half thousand are enrolled in Engineering, which takes up one entire campus of which are three. On an exciting note, Professor Usui heard during his visit that his son had achieved entrance into university to study economics. In Japan, entry to university is extremely difficult, the student having to pass stringent entrance exams before even enrolling or commencing academic studies."
