Developing Artificial Kidney

TEL AVIV—Good progress
on* the development of a
portable artificial kidney has
been reported in Israel by
Prof. Abraham Hermoni in
his dual capacity as deputy
president of Tel Aviv Univer-
sity and managing director of
Ramot, Ltd.
Ramot wEs established by
Tel Aviv University\ last year
to promote science-based in-
dustry through applied re-
search.
-Work on the portable kid-
ney is being done under a
three-year contract awarded
by a German firm. Ramot
scientists, who are in charge
of the overall project, are
devoting themselves to the
design of the plastic mem-
branes while calling on the
Rambam Hospital in Haifa to
help out on the medical side,
and on the Weapons Author-
ity to assist with mechanical
problems.

been successfully concluded,
the portable artificial kidney
also will be manufactured in
Israel. The functions of Ra-
mot are fivefold:
• To seek commercial ex-
ploitation of patented inven-
tions emanating from Tel
Aviv University scientists.
• To help solve problems
and provide services for Is-
rael's industry.
• To stimulate applied
scientific research within
Tel Aviv University.
• To help absorb new im-
migrants.
• To promote new indus-
tries in Israel.
Self-supporting from the
outset, Ramot was set up,
and continues to operate, fi-
nancially independent of Tel
Aviv University. The Univer-
sity has profited financially,
since Ramot pays fees for
the use of its laboratories and
other facilities.
So far, Ramot has derived
its income from reseal/Sand
development asagonents
awarded by both eipil and
foreign concerns, ami from
bonuses paid by the Jewish
Agency for the employment
of new immigrants.

JERUSALEM—"In barring
Israel from participation in
UNESCO, this international
body, far from harming Is-
rael, has done grievous harm
to its own ideals and goals
of promoting the peaceful de-
velopment of education,
science and culture among
all nations, regardless of their
regimes," said Israel's Minis-
ter of Health, Victor Shem-
tov.
Speaking at the Hadassah-
Hebrew University Medical
Center, the minister stressed
that Israel would not be de-
terred from continuing its
careful efforts to preserve
Jerusalem's beauty and re-
veal its "precious past, and
the glorious contribUtions of
the three faiths — Judaism,
Christianity and Islam — to
the history of all nations."

included in any regional
grouping in UNESCO, the
statement said that the Jew-
ish state could continue to
participate in regional con-
ferences as an observer.
(No European idergoserla-
mental conferences are
planned for next year and
there will only be some meet-
ings of experts. Even before
this session of UNES("`O, Is-
rael was not formally a part
of any region, but it was ad-
mitted by the secretariat to
the Asian regional confer-
ences.)
As for the resolution sus-
pending aid to Israel because
of complaints about archeo-
logical diggings in Jerusalem,
UNESCO said that the sus-
pension referred only to those

specific programs in which
UNESCO participates. (Last
year Israel received $24,000
under such programs.)
Another resolution request-
ed that aid be given to the
Palestine Liberation Orga-
nization. The UNESCO state-
ment declared that no re-
quest for aid to the PLO had
been made and added that
such a request would have
to come from a representa-
tive of the Arab League.
Finally, the communique
indicated that the director
general, Am adou Mahtar
M'Bow, was studying ways
to apply the resolution _re-
questing him to survey
cational and cultural ii
bons in the Arab occupied
territories.
