Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Center. The Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Center is a building located in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. Built in 1967, it is considered to be the first realization of Kenzo Tange's Metabolist movement, which called for a new urban typology that could self-perpetuate in an organic, "metabolic" way. It was built on a  triangular site, and erected around a column,  in diameter, which forms the building's central core, and around which thirteen individual offices are connected asymmetrically. The building was meant to be a prototype for a perpetually regenerating, prefabricated urban megastructure. It was designed with the intention that the space between the office clusters could be filled with additional offices in the future as demand increased. However, this idea was never realized and the building remains unchanged since it was built. Despite this, it is still considered to be a aesthetically notable example of form and function.

Metabolist movement 

After World War II, a group of Japanese architects, including Kenzo Tange, began exploring the concept of "Metabolism" in their work. Tange and the Metabolist movement believed that design and technology should be a reflection of human society and that they should strive to actively encourage the development of society through their designs. They saw human society as a continuous process of growth and development, like the biological concept of metabolism, and wanted to use their designs to promote this growth. Tange and the Metabolist movement influenced a number of 20th century architects in both East and Western hemispheres.

Arne Magnéli. Arne Magnéli (6 December 1914 – 22 July 1996) was a Swedish chemist and crystallographer known for his work on the structure determination of transition metal oxides and alloys, including the study into their homologous series and nonstoichiometric phenomenon.

Education and career
Magnéli studied at Stockholm University and graduated with a Licentiate in 1941. He moved to Uppsala University to conduct his graduate research under Gunnar Hägg, obtaining his PhD in 1950 for the study on tungsten bronzes. He took up a teaching position at Stockholm University in 1953, and later became the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the university until his retirement in 1980.

From his research into the structures of transition metal oxides, Magnéli developed the concept of recurrent dislocations, which nowadays is known as crystallographic shear. The Magnéli phases of transition metal oxides, such as nonstoichiometric tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, titanium oxide, and vanadium oxide are named after him.

Honors and awards
Magnéli was awarded the Gregori Aminoff Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1989. He served as the secretary of the Nobel Committee for Physics from 1966 to 1973 and the Nobel Committee for Chemistry from 1966 to 1986.

EA-1763. EA-1763, O-PPVX, V1 or propyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethylmethylphosphonothiolate is a military-grade neurotoxic organophosphonate nerve agent related to VX as it is the propyl analogue of VX. It is part of the V-series.

Chemical characteristics 
Little information about EA-1763's physicochemical properties has been reported. V1 is a more viscous and less dense liquid than VX. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless in its pure form. When impure or in the crude form, it has a characteristic viscous amber color, giving it an appearance similar to motor oil. The appearance of the  impure form varies between several shades of amber, from a viscous liquid of a transparent pale yellow color to a pasty liquid of a semi-transparent and cloudy dirty amber color. The smell varies from engine oil to an offensive brew of organosulfur compounds and organoamines.

Its larger alkane chain pushes its melting point above that of VX. The estimated solubility of V1 in water is 4 times lower compared to VX (6.8 g/L of water at 25 °C). V1 has high solubility in organic solvents and other non-polar compounds. The stability of V1 is roughly the same as that of VX in either environment. Higher insolubility and lower volatility can slow down the process. A vapor pressure at least 3 times lower than VX is speculated.

The longer alkane chain tends to stabilize the induction of electrons from P to O, making P less electrophilic. It is expected that the persistence of V1 is slightly higher than that of VX since the hydrolysis rate of ethyl paraoxon is 1.6 times higher than the one of n-propyl paraoxon in a neutral medium.

The lower volatility and minimal persistence difference makes VX preferable to V1.

Preparation 
It is prepared by the same route as VX using propanol instead of ethanol.

Beach gear (ship salvage). Beach gear is equipment and methods that place anchoring on land or in the water to exert pulling forces to salvage a stranded ship.

Methods

A common form of beach gear is to embed ship anchors on land or in water and attach them by cables, chains or ropes to other boats or ships.  These can be attached to tugboats to increase their pulling power or to the stranded ship for pulling using its own winches. US Navy standard beach gear is a ground tackle system consisting of anchors, chain, wire rope and
heaving equipment. It is an engineered system designed to be used for developing a pulling force of up to 60 tons to retract stranded ships.

Examples

17 sets of heavy beach gear were utilized help un-ground the USS Missouri in 1950.  A typical set included: 
Crown buoy and recovery wire 
Two four-ton anchors
15 fathoms of 2 1/4" chain
250 fathoms of 1 5/8" wire rope 
Set of four fold-blocks with 1200' of 5/8" wire rope
Four plate shackles for connecting wires, chain and anchor
Portable gas-driven winches with 7.5 tons line pull where ship's power was not available
