To facilitate the promotion and application of Chemical Leasing project at international level, UNIDO is currently developing a number of tools to standardize Chemical Leasing projects. These include, among others, Chemical leasing contract models; Chemical Leasing data base to find partners for chemical leasing; and guidelines to implement Chemical Leasing projects and work programmes.

Electron microscopic examination of thin sections and freeze fractures of Locusta spermatids revealed that the proacrosome docks to the nuclear membrane and glides around the nucleus during sperm development. Whereas nuclear pore complexes occur in groups distributed at random over the entire nucleus of the early spermatid, they are found only in a narrow ring closely surrounding the centriolar adjunct in later spermatids. The pores appear to be swept caudally in the nuclear envelope, perhaps by a process like capping; they are not merely excluded by structures adhering to the nucleus. The observations suggest that both proacrosome migration and the deployment of pores are facilitated by the inherent fluidity of the nuclear membranes.
