It has turn into a convention within the Union to post the Invited Discourses and the complaints of the Joint Discussions held at a Gene­ ral meeting in a separate quantity entitled HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY. this is often the fourth quantity of its style and it includes a few of the clinical highlights of the Grenoble common meeting. so that it will lessen its dimension it was once determined to put up its content material in separate components. The half (I) includes the complete texts of the In­ vited Discourses given through Prof. J.-C. Pecker and by way of Dr. C. Sagan, and an summary of Dr. P. Morrison's paper, hence complying along with his desire to forego booklet of the whole textual content of his Discourse. moreover it collects the lawsuits of 3 Joint Discussions and one Joint assembly all of that are comparable basically to observations from area, to exterior galaxies and to cosmology. half (TI) comprises the court cases of the 4 Joint Discussions and one Joint assembly comparable basically to stars and the constitution of our Galaxy. basically quantity four (parts I and TI) of the Highlights displays just a a part of the medical actions which happened on the Grenoble common meeting. Many extra very important papers and discussions have been held in the course of fee conferences and joint conferences. they're present in the Commissions' studies released within the Transactions Vol. XVI B, 1977.

Bioelectrochemistry: General Introduction

Quantity 1 of this sequence is meant to provide the reader a primary figuring out of the most important components deemed necessary to the examine of bioelec­ trochemistry. a radical grab of the speculation and method of those simple subject matters is key to manage effectively with the complicated phenomena that at the moment face investigators in so much bioelectrochemical laboratories.

Geometric Aspects of General Topology

This publication is designed for graduate scholars to obtain wisdom of measurement idea, ANR idea (theory of retracts), and comparable subject matters. those theories are hooked up with a variety of fields in geometric topology and ordinarily topology in addition. accordingly, for college kids who desire to examine topics often and geometric topology, figuring out those theories should be precious.

Growth Hormone and Somatomedins during Lifespan

Some of the congresses on development hormone (GH) that have been held in Milan in view that 1967, the Milan Congresses, have witnessed over 25 years the large enlargement of a study box that used to be established at the beginning upon the scarce wisdom of the organic houses of a protein. GH, whose chemical constitution had simply been pointed out and a radioimmunoassay constructed for its size in blood, turned within the following years a massive zone of organic examine.

Are there any observational programs in progress or planned which might extend these studies to fainter magnitudes? King: In a Berkeley program, George Chiu is determining proper motions of all stars in three fields of 1/10 square degree each.

Grenon Ooservatoire de Geneve A systematic photometric investigation on stars of spectral type G4 to K4 is performed in both polar caps in symmetric coaxial cones. According to a calibration of the Geneva system, Mv, Teff and [M/H] ratio have oeen now derived for aoout 400 stars. For the computation of density law, a special care has been taken to avoid selection oiaises related to variations of mean age or metal aoundance.

Hansen and K. Gyldenkerne of Copenhagen. We have measured the radial velocities of all the HD stars of type KO and later, and many of the G5 stars, within 15° of the Galactic Pole, using the Cambridge photoelectric spectrometer. In addition, we have observed all the stars classified as K giants by Upgren in his declination zones 25° to 31°, using the spectrometer on the Hale telescope. There are about 900 stars observed altogether, including about 200 Upgren stars, running down to twelfth magnitude or so, which are not in the Henry Draper Catalogue.
