    Notes: Abstract The nuclear gene coding for the 20.8-kDa subunit of the membrane arm of respiratory chain NADH:ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) fromNeurospora crassa, nuo-20.8, was localized on linkage group I of the fungal genome. A genomic DNA fragment containing this gene was cloned and a duplication was created in a strain ofN. crassa by transformation. To generate RIP (repeat-induced point) mutations in the duplicated sequence, the transformant was crossed with another strain carrying an auxotrophic marker on chromosome I. To increase the chance of finding an isolate with a non-functionalnuo-20.8 gene, random progeny from the cross were selected against this auxotrophy since RIP of the target gene will only occur in the nucleus carrying the duplication. Among these, we isolated and characterised a mutant strain that lacks the 20.8 kDa mitochondrial protein, indicating that this cysteine-rich polypeptide is not essential. Nevertheless, the absence of the 20.8-kDa subunit prevents the full assembly of complex I. It appears that the peripheral arm and two intermediates of the membrane arm of the enzyme are still formed in the mutant mitochondria. The NADH:ubiquinone reductase activity of sonicated mitochondria from the mutant is rotenone insensitive. Electron microscopy of mutant mitochondria does not reveal any alteration in the structure or numbers of the organelles.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resumen Las áreas de dolomías brechoides se encuentran ampliamente extendidas en las montañas béticas. Sobre ellas se desarrolla una vegetación xerófila muy especializada, en la que se concentra un alto porcentaje de endemismos. Estas comunidades han sido agrupadas en un orden particular, Convolvuletalia boissieri, cuya revisión completa abordamos en este trabajo.
    Notes: Abstract Large areas of rather sandy dolomites are to be found in the Betic ranges. In these soils appears a very specialized xerophilous vegetation with a high percentage of endemic species. These communities, grouped into a particular order, Convolvuletalia boissieri, are fully reviewed here and consist of the following syntaxa: ROSMARINETEA Br. Bl. 1947 em.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resumen Se estudia la vegetación rupícola (cl. Asplenietea trichomanis) de las Cordilleras Béticas, emplazadas en el sur de España. En los territorios más elevados de estas se desarrolla la alianza endémica Saxifragion camposii, cuya revisión completa se realiza en este trabajo. Se aportan tablas fitosociológicas de todos los sintáxones, así como datos de tipo biogeográfico, ecológico, florístico, etc. Como resultado de una profunda discusión sintaxonómica y con los nuevos datos disponibles, se completa el esquema de la mencionada alianza con cuatro asociaciones nuevas (ver resumen en inglés).
    Notes: Abstract On rupicolous vegetation (cl. Asplenietea trichomanis) of the Betic ranges in south Spain. The endemic alliance Saxifragion camposii developed in the upper zones of this area is here thoroughly examined. Phytosociological tables with records of all the syntaxa and biogeographical, ecological and floristic data among others are shown. Finally, as a result of a profound syntaxonomical discussion and the last data available the synopsis of this alliance is completed with four new associations: Hieracio texedensi-Moehringietum tejedensis, Athamanto hispanicae-Sideritetum stachydioidis, Sileno andryalifoliae-Saxi-fragetum camposii, Jasiono minutae-Saxifragetum rigoi.

    Notes: Abstract We have isolated and characterised the nuclear gene that codes for the 30.4-kDa subunit of the peripheral arm of complex I from Neurospora crassa. The single-copy gene was localised on chromosome VI of the fungal genome by restriction fragment length polymorphism mapping. An extra copy of the gene was introduced into a strain of N. crassa by transformation. This strain was crossed with another strain in order to inactivate, by repeat-induced point mutations, both copies of the duplication carried by the parental transformant. Ascospore progeny from the cross were analysed and a mutant strain lacking the 30.4-kDa protein, nuo30.4, was isolated and further characterised. The mutant appears to assemble the membrane arm of complex I, while formation of the peripheral arm is prevented. Nevertheless, the mutant grows reasonably well – indicating that this well conserved protein is not essential for vegetative growth – and is able to mate with other strains both as male or female. Strains with multiple mutations are readily obtained from heterozygous crosses between different complex I mutants of N. crassa. On the other hand, homozygous crosses between several mutants, including nuo30.4, fail to produce ascospores. These results suggest that complex I plays an essential role during the sexual phase of the life cycle of the fungus.

    Description: In July 1998, an Mw = 6.2 earthquake struck the islands of Faial, Pico and San Jorge (in the Azores Archipelago), registering VIII on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale and causing major destruction in the northeastern part of Faial. The main shock was located offshore, 8 km North East of the island, and it triggered a seismic sequence that lasted for several weeks. The existing data for this earthquake include both the general tectonic environment of the region and the teleseismic information. This is accompanied by one strong-motion record obtained 15 km from the epicentre, the epicentre location of aftershocks, and a large collection of the damage inflicted to the building stock (as poor rubble masonry, of 2-3 storeys). The present study was carried out in two steps: first, with a finite-fault stochastic simulation method of ground motion at sites throughout the affected islands, for two possible locations of the rupturing fault and for a large number of combinations of rupture mechanisms (as a parametric analysis); secondly, the damage to buildings was modelled using a well-known macroseismic method that considers the building typologies and their associated vulnerabilities. The main intent was to integrate different data (geological, seismological and building features) to produce a scenario model to reproduce and justify the level of damage generated during the Faial earthquake. Finally, through validation of the results provided by these different approaches, we obtained a complete procedure for the parameters of a first model for the production of seismic damage scenarios for the Azores Islands region.
