[A practical example of the application of the "Belgian geriatric evaluation and management program" within a general hospital].

A concrete realisation of the "Geriatric assessment and management program" as described in the arrêté royal within a general hospital: definition of the geriatric patient, his detection, his follow-up and the transmission of patient information. The analysis of the first results indicates the importance of the biographic and socio-economics factors. The optimisation of an early screening and the communication between caregivers are key aspects to enhance the care of this patients.

Construction of a dilution refrigerator cooled scanning force microscope.

We present a scanning force microscope that operates in a dilution refrigerator at temperatures of about 100 mK. We use tuning fork sensors for scanning gate experiments on mesoscopic semiconductor nanostructures. Slip-stick motors allow sample coarse-positioning at base temperature.
