Drawing on interviews with residents and officials, this article investigates how local needs and perceptions have been balanced against other aspirations in plans for Montserrat’s new capital. This new settlement would replace the former capital, Plymouth, which was destroyed in a volcanic eruption and abandoned permanently in 1997. The article finds that residents’ needs and perspectives were given relatively little attention in the planning process and resulting plans for the capital. However, it also finds that residents and officials now hold relatively similar views on the existing plans and on what attributes are ultimately desirable in a capital. This suggests that adopting more participatory planning approaches in the future could build on this shared vision and result in plans that are more publicly and politically sustainable and more likely to be realised.

Considering about an estimated dreadful damage by earthquakes centered directly under the capital city, the pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery is a vital countermeasure. In this paper, those predisaster planning activities were discussed. There are 5 sections. Firstly, backgrounds and early studies are reviewed. Secondly, positions of a pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery were discussed from a view of city-planning studies. Thirdly, the “drills for disaster-recovery machizukuri” as the field for machizukuri for post-disaster recovery were analyzes. These drills were mainly methods and activities for pre-disaster planning activities. Fourthly, the efforts made in Nerima Ward for drills are reviewed. Fifthly, the concrete results of the pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery are discussed, and finally the future challenges and directions of the pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery are mentioned.

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.

Human And Mouse

Metaphase chromosomes from human and mouse cells in vitro are isolated by micrurgy, fixed, and placed on grids for electron microscopy. Interpretations of electron micrographs by current methods indicate the following structural features.Chromosomal spindle fibrils about 200Å thick form fascicles about 600Å thick, wrapped by dense spiraling fibrils (DSF) less than 100Å thick as they near the kinomere. Such a fascicle joins the future daughter kinomere of each metaphase chromatid with those of adjacent non-homologous chromatids to either side. Thus, four fascicles (SF, 1-4) attach to each metaphase kinomere (K). It is thought that fascicles extend from the kinomere poleward, fray out to let chromosomal fibrils act as traction fibrils against polar fibrils, then regroup to join the adjacent kinomere.

Freeze Etching

In his pioneering demonstration of the potential of freeze-etching in biological systems, Russell Steere assessed the future promise and limitations of the technique with remarkable foresight. Item 2 in his list of inherent difficulties as they then stood stated “The chemical nature of the objects seen in the replica cannot be determined”. This defined a major goal for practitioners of freeze-fracture which, for more than a decade, seemed unattainable. It was not until the introduction of the label-fracture-etch technique in the early 1970s that the mould was broken, and not until the following decade that the full scope of modern freeze-fracture cytochemistry took shape. The culmination of these developments in the 1990s now equips the researcher with a set of effective techniques for routine application in cell and membrane biology.Freeze-fracture cytochemical techniques are all designed to provide information on the chemical nature of structural components revealed by freeze-fracture, but differ in how this is achieved, in precisely what type of information is obtained, and in which types of specimen can be studied.
