The late formal tradition of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) European Directive into the Italian planning system has so far induced a variety of behaviour of administrative bodies and planning agencies involved. In Italy and Sardinia, a new approach to landscape planning is characterizing spatial planning practice from the regional to the municipal level. Currently municipalities are adjusting their master plan to the prescriptions of the regional landscape planning instrument (in Italian, Piano Paesaggistico Regionale, PPR), according to processes that have to be integrated with a proper SEA development. With respect to this background, the aim of this paper is to assess the level of SEA implementation on the master plans of Sardinia six years after the approval of the PPR. The first results show that many municipalities are not provided with a master plan (in Italian, Piano Urbanistico Comunale, PUC) and they have in force just an old planning tool. Moreover, just some municipalities have adapted the PUC to the PPR carrying out a SEA process.

The author describes new technologies used in public participation process and the interdependence between data and their application in spatial planning and the idea of a smart city. She analyses the procedural model of using data, defines a new approach to planning, known as e-participation in planning. She also shows types of spatial data, which can be used at various stages of preparing the local land use plan. Presenting her proposal for procedural e-participation in planning, she cites the experiences of the city of Warsaw.

This paper describes a new approach to automatic optimal land use scenario modelling using the developed ArcGIS “Urban Planner” extension. The first part of the paper addresses the implementation of geoinformatic technologies in spatial planning. The study presents several models and approaches, which focus mainly on the evaluation of land suitability, spatial modelling, and the possibilities of their use in urban planning. The main part of the paper describes the theoretical basis of the model, which is built on a weighted raster overlay. This study also elaborately analyses the functionality of the extension, which lies in the assessment of land suitability and the detection of optimal areas suitable for urban development. The paper also offers some testing of the model, specifically its robustness and sensitivity in the Olomouc region and its possible use for the creation of development scenarios.

Dominant spatial planning theory and practice in the last half a century in Indonesia has been the rational comprehensive. This could be seen, among other, in the formal spatial planning works of the government and private sectors, and their underlying spatial planning laws, i.e. law 24/1992 and law 26/2007. This theory is based on the assumptions that the role of the state is central in the process of plan formulation and implementation; and, at the technical level, the availability of two main conditions to enable plan to be made, i.e.: necessary maps and statistical data, and relevant experts who interprete those data to meet the need of analysis. These assumptions, unfortunately, were not fully met in the specific case of post-conflict and post-disaster reconstruction of Aceh, especially during the first two years, 2005-2006. New approach, therefore, needed to be formulated, accepted by all reconstruction players and implemented to satisfy the immediate needs of the disaster’ victims.     Keywords: planning theory, perencanaan partisipatif, rekonstruksi Aceh

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

Immunoelectron microscopy of neoplastic lymphoma cells is valuable for precise localization of surface antigens and identification of cell types. We have developed a new approach in which the immunohistochemical staining can be evaluated prior to embedding for EM and desired area subsequently selected for ultrathin sectioning.A freshly prepared lymphoma cell suspension is spun onto polylysine hydrobromide- coated glass slides by cytocentrifugation and immediately fixed without air drying in polylysine paraformaldehyde (PLP) fixative. After rinsing in PBS, slides are stained by a 3-step immunoperoxidase method. Cell monolayer is then fixed in buffered 3% glutaraldehyde prior to DAB reaction. After the DAB reaction step, wet monolayers can be examined under LM for presence of brown reaction product and selected monolayers then processed by routine methods for EM and embedded with the Chien Re-embedding Mold. After the polymerization, the epoxy blocks are easily separated from the glass slides by heatingon a 100°C hot plate for 20 seconds.

The corrosion of copper and copper alloys in a marine environment is of great concern because of their widespread use in heat exchangers and steam condensers in which natural seawater is the coolant. It has become increasingly evident that microorganisms play an important role in the corrosion of a number of metals and alloys under a variety of environments. For the past 15 years the use of SEM has proven to be useful in studying biofilms and spatial relationships between bacteria and localized corrosion of metals. Little information, however, has been obtained using TEM capitalizing on its higher spacial resolution and the transmission observation of interfaces. The research presented herein is the first step of this new approach in studying the corrosion with biological influence in pure copper.Commercially produced copper (Cu, 99%) foils of approximately 120 μm thick exposed to a copper-tolerant marine bacterium, Oceanospirillum, and an abiotic culture medium were subsampled (1 cm × 1 cm) for this study along with unexposed control samples.
