    Notes: Abstract Detrimental effects of engineering works on the coast and a wish to conserve parts of the coastline have increased realization among coastal managers of the need to examine shoreline problems and proposals for protection in a wider spatial context than the site itself and over a longer time scale than the past few years. This paper outlines the approach taken in one region of the United Kingdom, the central south coast of England, to provide that wider perspective. Authorities responsible for coastal protection and sea defenses formed a coastal group, which, among other activities, commissioned research aimed at providing a greater understanding on which to base shoreline management decisions. A major project undertaken was a sediment transport study in which all existing information relating to coastal sediment processes in the region was collated and analyzed. All inputs, flows, and outputs of sediment were documented. Links between processes were examined for each part of the region. Finally, nine littoral cells of sediment circulation were identified and were suggested as forming a framework for shoreline management. The methods of compilation and analysis are outlined here and are exemplified for one area in the region. The approach is recommended as a cost-effective basis for strategic management of the coast in developed regions.

    Notes: [Auszug] In a recent discourse broadcast by the B.B.C., reference was made to my communication in NATURE of April 4 on the subject of the velocity of light. Two objections were presented to the deduction that the velocity of light decreases, derived from the values quoted ; these must have occurred to ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN NATURE of Oct. 22, 1927, p. 602, I summarised the observational evidence respecting the velocity of light. In Astronomische Nachrichten, No. 5530, I pointed out that this evidence is in favour of a decrease of this velocity, which is assumed to be constant owing to considerations of a ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE decrease of velocity of light deduced from the red-shifts is of the order of 1 km./sec. in 6,000 years, or 1 in 600,000,000 for thirty years, which is quite consistent with the apparent constancy of the wavelength mentioned by Lord Kitchener. Our observations, being affected by unsuspected ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN his most recent contribution on this subject1Hubble mentions a red-shift of + 0.231 A. This corresponds to a velocity of recession of approximately 43,000 miles per second, nearly a quarter of the velocity of light! The conviction grows upon one that these fantastic velocities ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IN 1927 there was published in these columns1 a table of all the determinations of the velocity of light which I compiled from the original memoirs, together with a discussion, and I pointed out that except a pair of practically simultaneous values obtained in 1882 the final ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE chief objection which can be raised at the present time to the hypothesis of a continuous decrease of the velocity of light is that it is only justified if we admit that the work of Michelson and Newcomb in the last century is unreliable. Now, their determinations made in 1882 agree so ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SOME time ago, requiring a list of the determinations of the velocity of light made by different investigators, I, not unnaturally, referred to tables of this constant, some of those which were available to me being given by authorities of such high standing that their trustworthiness was, to ...

    Notes: [Auszug] I HAVE read with much interest Dr. Atkin's letter in NATURE of January 27, and also Mr. Barcroft's letter in the issue of October 23, 1919 (vol. 104, p. 154) to which he refers. My own observations, made in various degrees of semi-consciousness, appear to show that there is no such thing as a ...
