Future Direction

The customer-centric digital economy needs business leaders and strategic thinkers to develop a new skill-set of delving within the deeper regions of consciousness and precognize the evolving future in order to make critical decisions that will set the future direction of the organization. As change accelerates to a never before recorded level, sustaining the precognitive capability of collective intelligence of the organization is fast becoming a pre-requisite for survival in the context of hyper-competition. This capacity has to be learnt, understood, and successfully internalized in every strategic thinker. In a business environment where executive functions and passion- driven processes are given greater attention, the precognitive capability gradually begins to wane as either the need for catering to existing demand or anticipation for rewards or both become predominant drivers. This silent change is very slow, hidden, and is not noticed until strategic decisions begin to miscarry. Most of the time, the person's general behaviour could still be in confirmation with the culture of the organization, yet it is possible to identify minor anomalies that occur with a better understanding of how the neuronal circuitry is built in the brain and the underpinning motivational drivers that incite their change. New scientific evidence in the field of Cognitive Science gives us some pointers into hitherto enigmatic queries. The latest research in this field shows that it is possible today to decide on an individual's capability to deliver future results not merely based on past achievements but on his continuing ability to change based on underpinning motivational drivers. This paper presents a neuronal architectural framework to evaluate the future potential of a top management performer based on scientific evidence rather than depend on either the past performances or probability of future success without considering the individual's ability to align with the organizational bionetwork. The paper also addresses every CEO's cup of woe – motivating people to change and ensuring constant growth. Corporate training has to address the following three dilemmas: overcoming the problem of habituation activating the Supervisory Attentional System (SAS) ensuring that inputs given to each individual possess the appropriate degree of novelty and complexity.

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.
