    Notes: Trypanosoma brucei strain 366D trypomastigotes grown at 37°C in the presence of a human fibroblast cell line formed foci underneath the feeder cells whereas trypanosomes grown in the presence of a human epithelial cell line grew only in the culture supernatant. A culture system was developed to study the differentiation of bloodstream trypomastigotes grown in the epithelial cell system into procyclic trypomastigotes at 27°C. The morphological differentiation into the procyclic form was complete by 48 h. Cell division did not occur until 30–40 h after transfer to 27°C. Various characteristics of this system were examined, including the effect of the feeder layer, the type of medium, the presence of the metabolites cis-aconitate and citrate, the preadaptation period, and the trypanosome cell concentration. The respiration of the recently differentiated procyclic cells was less sensitive to inhibition by CN-than that of established procyclic forms, implying a delayed appearance of complete mitochondrial oxidative pathways. This trypanosome differentiation system has the advantage that the animal host is not needed and the entire process is carried out in in vitro culture.

    Notes: Abstract. Demand for water from catchments dominated by upland peat as a source of drinking water supplies in the UK is likely to increase in the future as demand per capita continues to rise (Thomsen 1990) and/or summer droughts increase in frequency (Arnell 1992). Concern has been expressed in recent years over rising colour levels (related to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and iron (Fe)) from such catchments (e.g. Kay et al. 1989) causing reduced drinking water quality. One of the major causes of increased DOC concentrations is rewetting following periods of relative drought (Mitchell & McDonald 1992). Experimental rewetting of a naturally drained wetland in Mid-Wales over four years was found to substantially increase the concentrations of DOC, and Fe in the pore-water, with peak values of 〉60 mg dm–3 (Fe) and 〉300 mg dm–3 (DOC) after rewetting, compared with typical values of 〈1 mgdm–3 (Fe) and 〈15 mg dm–3 (DOC) under the drained conditions. Seasonal peak concentrations of Fe and DOC have since remained at these higher levels. Rewetting produced a selective enrichment of the 〉5000 to 〈90 000 apparent molecular weight (AMW) material and this fraction was found to yield peak Fe concentrations. Two additional peaks of DOC were also found in the experimental wetland (not present in the control wetland), of 〉90 000 to 〈200 000 AMW and 〉200 000 AMW material. The AMW spectrum of DOC in the experimental wetland changed with season, and the 〉90 000 to 〈200 000 AMW fraction could only be seen in spring, representing a transient pool of carbon that is rapidly transformed in or transported from the wetland. These findings suggest that rewetting of peatland following drought (e.g. due to climate change) has the potential to reduce water quality. Moreover, recent interest in restoration (rewetting) of drained peatlands (Wheeler & Shaw 1995) could create an additional source of DOC rich water.

    Notes: Abstract. Boreholes have been constructed at eight sites on the Permo-Triassic Sandstone and Chalk aquifers to assess the extent of chemical and microbiological contamination emanating from unlined farm manure stores. Slurry along fracture faces in the Chalk was found on cores taken from beneath two stores. Porewaters from the Chalk sites and one of the Sandstone sites were discoloured and showed high concentrations of nitrate, ammonium and organic carbon to depths in excess of 10 m. Although Cryptosporidia and Escherichia coli O157 were found in many of the cattle slurry lagoons, neither were found in the aquifer material beneath. The self-sealing of unlined slurry stores is seen as a crucial step in minimizing leakage. A simple mass balance shows farm boreholes near to contaminant sources are at greater risk than public supply wells. Contaminant modelling shows discontinuing use of an unlined farm manure store will lead to little difference in solute concentrations over the short to medium term. Groundwater is most at risk where the water table is shallow since direct hydraulic connection between the lagoon base and the water table considerably increases the rate of vertical migration. This is of greatest significance for pathogens that are thought to be relatively short lived in the subsurface. Under the majority of situations minimal threat is posed to potable groundwater drinking supplies.

    The communicative power of expert systems (1985)

    Notes: ‘Expert Systems’ or intelligent knowledge-based computer systems can be expected to have a considerable impact in the near future on the dissemination and use of technical expertise in practical situations. The potential benefits of such an approach to decision-making in applied science domains, for example, in anti-corrosive coating selection, are considerable. This paper argues, therefore, that a premium must be placed on such a system's performance as a communicator.The structure and behaviour of a classical ‘production system’ are briefly described, and the communicative ability of such a system is analysed. This critical examination of a production system's question-answering capabilities highlights the inherent restrictions which the structure of this kind of system places on its explanatory and justificatory powers. An outline design for a less inhibitive structure is presented.It is argued that the form in which the system provides ‘answers’ after the completion of a problem-solving session, may not yield sufficient appropriate information to the user, and a possible alternative view of a ‘solution schema’ is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract The spectra of incoming daylight and shadelight in a mature oak woodland were measured at intervals during the canopy cycle, and mean transmittance spectra were derived. Transmittance was spectrally neutral at ca. 0.55 during the light phase but, following leaf emergence, transmittance of PAR (400–700 nm) fell to ca. 0.1. Simultaneously, the red : far-red transmittance ratio fell to circa 0.6. Both showed little change during the summer and autumn until senescence, indicating that the optical properties of the canopy were surprisingly stable. There was no evidence that cloud cover influenced mean canopy transmittance, although transient sunflecks introduced great variability which, in combination with sampling bias, might explain previous contradictory reports. The red : far-red fluence rate ratio in the woodland showed a temporary increase in late summer, a result of a small increase in the red : far-red ratio of incoming daylight during this period. Reflectance and transmittance spectra and pigment content of sun and shade leaves were measured. Leaf transmittance spectra showed changes correlated with those of the canopy, and were related to changes in pigment content.

    Notes: An SEM study was made of the infection process of Puccinia sorghi in Zea mays. A uredospore germ tube grows across epidermal cells and along their anticlinal walls, often branching and altering direction of growth. The fungus, on attaining a stoma, delimits an appressorium over it. Infection peg initials enlarge linearly and centripetally along the appressorium base, forcing open the stomatal slit. Having penetrated the stomatal aperture, the infection peg develops a substomatal vesicle. From the vesicle, two short primary infection hyphae develop synchronously, a septum later forming between the vesicle body and each hyphal base. A further septum divides the primary hypha into two cells. Secondary infection hyphae emerge later from the fully expanded vesicle on the proximal side of each vesicle/primary hypha septum. Secondary hyphae are narrower than primary hyphae, form their proximal septum some distance along the hypha, develop asynchronously, and proliferate to form the intercellular mycelium. Infection processes and epidermal stripping are discussed.

    Notes: High-performance liquid chromatography was used to measure concentrations of fructose, glucose and sucrose in several cultivars of cabbage as well as residual sugars and mannitol in sauerkraut. Cabbage cultivars contained from about 3.0-6.0% total sugars, and glucose was the most abundant sugar in entire cabbage heads. All sugars in a selected commercial tank of fermenting sauerkraut were depleted after 4 wk. However, total sugar concentrations to 0.8% were found in a variety of commercial sauerkraut samples. Mannitol accumulated early in fermentations, but concentrations in sauerkraut decreased during latter stages of holding (through 18 wk) before processing.

    Genetic evidence for historical continuity between populations of the Australian freshwater fish Craterocephalus stercusmuscarum (Atherinidae) east and west of the Great Dividing Range (2001)

    Notes: The freshwater Craterocephalus stercusmuscarum (Atherinidae) has a broad northern and south-eastern Australian distribution, and has been divided into two sub-species. Craterocephalus stercusmuscarum fulvus occurs in eastern and western flowing drainages of the southeast, while C. s. stercusmuscarum occurs in north eastern and northern flowing drainages. Four populations of each sub-species were sampled from different river systems to examine if genetic diversity was consistent with this nomenclature or a previously proposed vicariance hypothesis. Allozyme data did not support the notion that the subspecies were genetically distinct, but the mtDNA data showed that haplotypes from one sub-species, regardless of geography, were reciprocally monophyletic to haplotypes of the other subspecies. Thus, mtDNA genetic diversity was partitioned by prevailing taxonomy and the data suggest that C. s. fulvus populations in eastern and western flowing drainages may have had a relatively recent connection subsequently interrupted by geological events.

    SACRAMENTO RIVER FLOW RECONSTRUCTED TO AD. 869 FROM TREE RINGS (2001)

    Notes: : A time series of annual flow of the Sacramento River, California, is reconstructed to A.D. 869 from tree rings for a long-term perspective on hydrologic drought. Reconstructions derived by principal components regression of flow on time-varying subsets of tree-ring chronologies account for 64 to 81 percent of the flow variance in the 1906 to 1977 calibration period. A Monte Carlo analysis of reconstructed n-year running means indicates that the gaged record contains examples of drought extremes for averaging periods of perhaps = 6 to 10 years, but not for longer and shorter averaging periods. For example, the estimated probability approaches 1.0 that the flow in A.D. 1580 was lower than the lowest single-year gaged flow. The tree-ring record also suggests that persistently high or low flows over 50-year periods characterize some parts of the long-term flow history. The results should contribute to sensible water resources planning for the Sacramento Basin and to the methodology of incorporating tree-ring data in the assessment of the probability of hydrologic drought.
