MR JUSTICE IRWIN MR JUSTICE IRWIN Kontic v MoD Approved Judgment Mr Justice Irwin : Introduction 1. These claims arise from the dangerous and chaotic period which followed the deployment of the international military coalition known as the Kosovo Force (“KFOR”) into Kosovo, in June 1999. Following violence and unrest, and the departure of many ethnic Albanian citizens of Kosovo outside the country, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1244 (“UNSCR 1244”), on 10 June 1999, authorising the deployment of KFOR. 2. Continuing ethnic conflict within Kosovo had led to the displacement of large numbers of ethnic Albanian Kosovars. An air bombardment of Kosovo followed, beginning on 24 March 1999. By 8 June 1999, the authorities in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia [“FRY”], who were overwhelmingly ethnic Serbians, had agreed to withdraw.

The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and 'Auld Nanse Tinnock's' (the 'change-house' of Burns's poem 'The Holy Fair') were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con­ sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • A Novel Optical Microscope for Imaging Large

    A Novel Optical Microscope for Imaging Large

    RESEARCH ARTICLE A novel optical microscope for imaging large embryos and tissue volumes with sub-cellular resolution throughout Gail McConnell1*, Johanna Tra¨ ga˚ rdh1, Rumelo Amor1, John Dempster1, Es Reid1, William Bradshaw Amos1,2 1Centre for Biophotonics, Strathclyde Institute for Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom; 2MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract Current optical microscope objectives of low magnification have low numerical aperture and therefore have too little depth resolution and discrimination to perform well in confocal and nonlinear microscopy. This is a serious limitation in important areas, including the phenotypic screening of human genes in transgenic mice by study of embryos undergoing advanced organogenesis. We have built an optical lens system for 3D imaging of objects up to 6 mm wide and 3 mm thick with depth resolution of only a few microns instead of the tens of microns currently attained, allowing sub-cellular detail to be resolved throughout the volume. We present this lens, called the Mesolens, with performance data and images from biological specimens including confocal images of whole fixed and intact fluorescently-stained 12.5-day old mouse embryos. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.18659.001 Introduction During experiments with laser scanning confocal microscopes in the mid-1980s, it became obvious that the optical sectioning, which is the main advantage of the confocal method, did not work with *For correspondence: the available low-magnification objectives, because of their low numerical aperture (N.A.)
