It is an organizing principle of the book that modern corporate reorganization law responds to different patterns of fact in diverse and complex ways, and this chapter explores other types of corporate reorganization case beyond financial restructuring. It argues that the analysis of these types of case may depend more fundamentally on the lens through which they are viewed. Furthermore, it suggests that there are reasons to suspect that there may be an increase in some of these other types of case over the next decade. This provides the framework in which to investigate the claim in the book that English scholars, practitioners, judges, and the legislature may face challenges in connecting concepts which are well adapted to a reorganization of loan, bond, and equity finance arrangements to new adaptations of corporate reorganization law.

The Way

This chapter explores the way in which the shifts in the fields of finance and non-financial corporates discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 have led to changes in US secured transactions law. It examines the way in which these changes have, in turn, shifted bargaining power towards secured creditors when a debtor attempts to reorganize its debt and equity finance. However, the argument is made that this gives rise to different issues from the traditional concern for secured creditor liquidation bias when it is set in the wider organizational and institutional environment which the book has begun to examine. Turning to England, the chapter explores how the English courts have generally supported the allocation of control rights in distress to senior financial creditors. It reveals why this has, once again, made English corporate reorganization law particularly well adapted to the demands of the past decade.

The Rise of Leverage

The Future

This chapter explores the first of the changes in logic and practice in the fields of finance and non-financial corporates with which the book is concerned: the rise of the leveraged capital structure. It explores the implications of the leveraged capital structure for the ways in which corporate reorganization law is mobilized and adapted by the participants in the corporate reorganization process. It argues that the first step in analysing these new adaptations is to focus on the concepts which are used to describe them. It further argues that when this is done certain implications are revealed for current debates about the content and reform of US corporate reorganization law. It argues that England has had fewer problems in framing appropriate concepts for analysing the new adaptations which are under examination in the chapter. However, it hints at potential challenges for England for the future, developed later in the book.

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.
