Figure 10. A conventional office floor plan with symmetrically arranged individual offices is compared with an open floor plan in a 1967 trial arrangement at DuPont by the Quickborner Team. This was the first open plan office in America. From Burolandschaft U.S.A, Progressive Architecture, May 1968.

Traditionally, the electron and proton transport pathways of photosynthetic membranes (33) have been represented as a "Z" rotated 90° to the left with noncycHc electron flow from left to right and PSII on the left-most and PSI on the right-most vertical in that orientation (25,34). Other orientations and more complex graphical representations have been used to depict electron transport (29) or the sequence and redox midpoint potentials of the electron carriers. As elucidation of photosynthetic membrane architecture and electron pathways has progressed, PSI has come to be placed on the left as the "Z" convention is being abandoned. Figure 1 describes the orientation in the thylakoid membrane of the components of PSI and PSII with noncycHc electron flow from right to left. 

In summary, our new SEC system provides very useful information about branching. Together with selective link destruction, it is a very powerful tool in the analysis of polymer architectures. Further analysis of various model architectures is in progress in our laboratories. 

This line of research has not lost his momentum. One of the reasons is the eontinuing progress in the computer hardware and software. Methods and algorithms are, and will be, continuously updated to exploit new features made available by eomputer seienee, as for example the parallel architectures, or the neuronal networks, to mention things at present of widespread interest, or even conceptually less significant improvements, as the inerease of fast memory in commereial computers. Computer quantum chemistry is not a mere recipient of progresses in eomputer seienee. Many progresses in the software comes from... 

The topic is split into two volumes and is organized as follows. In the first chapter the progress in different synthetic routes to controlled block copolymers of various architectures will be presented, the second chapter tries to give an overview of the phase behavior of block copolymers in the bulk state and in concentrated solution. The interplay between crystallization on... 

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of function over several months to years, characterized by gradual replacement of normal kidney architecture with interstitial fibrosis.
