Flexible electrode systems capable of monitoring in vivo changes in venous and myocardial extracellular potassium activity were constructed using valinomycin-polyvinyl chloride matrix membrane and polyvinyl chloride tubing. Electrode impedance was 1--30 Momega, time constant 10--200 ms, drift less than 1 mV/h, and shelf life approximately 3 days (intramyocardial electrode) and approximately 6 wk (venous electrode). In vitro and in vivo accuracy were determined in 5 dogs and 18 pigs, anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (35 mg/kg iv), with normal and elevated K+ levels. Serum and venous K+ concentration, determined using a K+ electrode with tip diameter of 1.5 mm, correlated well to serum K+ values determined by flame photometry (r = 0.997). Steady-state myocardial extracellular K+ concentration determined using double-barrel electrodes with total tip diameter of 0.6 mm also correlated well to the serum K+ concentration (r = 0.992). These electrode assemblies permit on-line, virtually instantaneous in vivo determination of intravascular and local myocardial extracellular K+ activity, a capability not previously available.

The Galaxy

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.

Sn 1987A

Using the new reductions of the IUE light curves by Sonneborn et al. (1997) and an extensive set of HST images of SN 1987A we have repeated and improved Panagia et al. (1991) analysis to obtain a better determination of the distance to the supernova. In this way we have derived an absolute size of the ringRabs= (6.23 ± 0.08) x 1017cm and an angular sizeR″ = 808 ± 17 mas, which give a distance to the supernovad(SN1987A) = 51.4 ± 1.2 kpc and a distance modulusm–M(SN1987A) = 18.55 ± 0.05. Allowing for a displacement of SN 1987A position relative to the LMC center, the distance to the barycenter of the Large Magellanic Cloud is also estimated to bed(LMC) = 52.0±1.3 kpc, which corresponds to a distance modulus ofm–M(LMC) = 18.58±0.05.

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).

Better Than

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.
