Bach returned to Weimar as organist to the ducal court there; in 1714 he was promoted to the new position of concertmaster. As such he apparently presided over performances in the court’s distinctive chapel. The presence of two reigning dukes at Weimar led to conflicts; Bach was initially favored by the senior ruling duke but was passed over for promotion to Capellmeister and even jailed prior to his dismissal. Nevertheless, during these years Bach composed many of his great organ and vocal works, also becoming a notable teacher. He also saw the birth of his first children, including the future composers W. F. and C. P. E. Bach.

The target of the work is investigating the development of archetypal features of the Russian classical romance in the chamber-vocal S. Rakhmaninov’s creation of early period on the example of romances for the average voice. Vocal miniatures are the kind of lyric diary of the composer, which fully embodies the whole range of characteristic images and feelings. In this sense, romances are the kind of encyclopedia of Rakhmaninov’s creativity: it is impossible to find such wealth and variety of states, perhaps even in his brilliant concerts and symphonies. The methodology of the study is to use the art history, historical and cultural, analytical and comparative typological methods. This methodological campaign allows you to analyze the features of the genres of elegy, Russian song, „gesture romance” and their own interpretation by the composer. The scientific novelty of the work consists in broadening the concept of the imaginative multidimensionality of Rakhmaninov’s vocal miniatures, which is due to the synthesis of various traditions of the national school. Vocal works „contain” a full thematic „spectrumˮ of his musical world. Conclusions. The archetypal features of the Russian classical romance and the origins of vocal lyrics are most evident in the early period of the composerʼs work. Obviously, the scope of the scientific article does not allow paying serious attention to the entire vocal creativity of the author of the Bells, to consider 83 romances in full. Therefore, the work is limited studying of works for medium voice and piano. They fully embody the main genre and style features of Rakhmaninov’s chamber-vocal creativity. The early romances of the composer-lyric poet determine the future development of the chamber-vocal genre, anticipating the innovative treatment of vocal plays.

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.

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.

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.
