A method of cutting a wood block and a veneer lathe are disclosed. They are useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases and disorders associated with KSP kinesin activity. Here, the reference light from the reflection mirror is returned to measurement means along the same route. An estimate of a rotationally invariant part of the measurement of the test surface is calculated at a plurality of radial values based on a combination of the relative surface measurements, the provided estimates, and a difference between the first and second relative positions. In one embodiment the photomasking and etching is performed after deposition of the upper cladding. The lithium secondary cell comprises a negative electrode, a non-aqueous electrolytic solution and a positive electrode, in which an active material for the negative electrode comprises lithium titanate and the non-aqueous electrolytic solution comprises a fluorine-containing solvent.
