s Reports: The National Research Council's Office of Japan Affaire has published two pamphlets as a resuit of a séries of high-level discussions on advanced technology and international environment between the National Académies of Sciences and Engineering and a counterpart group of Japanese scientists, engineers, and industrialists. Science, Technology, and the Future of the U.S.-Japan Relationship, a 14-page issue paper, examines the linkages between science and technology and the broader context of trade, security, and diplomacy. It also identifies the challenges that must be faced if both countries are to remain on the front lines of science and technology. Learning theR&D System: National Laboratories and Other Non-Academic, Non-Industrial Organizations in Japan and the United States, a 46-page pamphlet, covers insights gained during a two-day meeting, held in 1989, of senior scientists, engineers, and research managers from Japan and the United States. The report compares and analyzes the many organizations in both countries that are not easily categorized as "industrial" or "académie" but that perform important rôles in R&D, e.g. national laboratories, spécial corporations, government-owned organizations, and consulting, professional and hybrid organizations. Office of Japan Affaire, National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20418; (202) 3342000. Scandium Production: Recentiy completed full-rime scandium production facility utilizes domestic ores and produces several kilograms of scandium oxide per week, ranging in purity from 98% to 99.995%. Increased availability of scandium from the new plant allows the Company to sell scandium at more affordable prices. In past years, the high price and poor availability of scandium restricted its use mainly to research, although scandium can be used in electronics, catalysis, and alloys. Boulder Scientific Company, 598 3rd Street, Meade, CO 80542-0548; (303)442-1199. MBE Equipment: A 24-page product guide détails the company's complète line of effusion cells and related equipment for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), including dual filament cells, high température cells (2000°C), and cracking effusion cells. The guide also includes information on novel materials that can be evaporated with EPI effusion cells. EPI, 261 E. 5th Street, Saint Paul, MN 55101, (612) 224-1140. •
