Effects of Mass Loss on Stellar Evolution: IAU Colloquium no. 59 Held in Miramare, Trieste, Italy, September 15–19, 1980

The IAU Colloquium No. fifty nine, "The results of mass loss on Stellar Evolution" used to be hung on September 15-19, 1980 on the overseas Centre for Theoretical Physics, Miramare, Trieste (Italy), less than the auspices of the IAU govt Co~ mittee and the Italian nationwide Council of study. The making plans of this convention started years in the past du­ ring the IAU Symposium No.

Cerebral Cortex: Neurodegenerative and Age-Related Changes in Structure and Function of Cerebral Cortex

This quantity of Cerebral Cortex is devoted to Sir John Eccles, who used to be an energetic member of the advisory board for the sequence till his loss of life in may perhaps 1997. His enter as to what issues can be coated in destiny volumes of this sequence can be sorely overlooked. the current quantity is anxious with neurodegenerative problems and age­ similar alterations within the constitution and serve as of the cerebral cortex, an issue that has attracted expanding curiosity as durability and the variety of elderly members within the inhabitants raise.

Alcoholism and Drug Dependence: A Multidisciplinary Approach

It really is for me, as President of the Merseyside Lancashire & Cheshire Council on Alcoholism, a sign privilege to put in writing a short foreword to those court cases of the 3rd overseas convention on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. in the course of the week specialists, from across the world, in all these disciplines that have a contribution to make to the answer of the issues of alcoholism and drug dependence, surveyed fresh advances in our wisdom of the aetiology, epidemiology, early attractiveness, administration, and the social and business implications of those dual scourges of the modern scene.

Example text

The ability of one virus strain to inhibit the entrance of another strain of the same virus into the same plant was first demonstrated by McKinney (1929). He showed that plants infected with a strain of tobacco mosaic virus which gave rise to a light-green mosaic underwent no change in symptoms after repeated inoculations with a strain of virus causing a yellow mosaic. In 1931, Thung carried out a similar experiment with a strain of tobacco mosaic virus causing a white mosaic against the ordinary green mottling type.

5) The clarified dialyzate is centrifuged for 150 minutes at 78,000g. (6) Pellets are resuspended in 0·005 M borate buffer, pH 9, and the suspension is clarified at 5,400g for 15 minutes to remove insoluble materials and aggregates. (7) The clarified suspension is recentrifuged for 90 minutes at 105,ooog, pellets are resuspended in the same borate buffer and clarified as before. (8) Procedure number 7 is repeated. A new method of isolation which has some advantages over the methods just given has been suggested by Leberman (1966) and his technique is briefly described.

4 Isolation and Purification of Plant Viruses When investigating a possibly undescribed sap-transmissible virus, it is desirable to have some information on certain elementary properties of the virus before commencing more comprehensive studies on its purification. What is wanted is some information on its stability and concentration in the plant, because attempts at isolation are likely to be much more difficult if the virus in question is extremely labile or occurs in very low concentration. The three elementary tests usually carried out are to determine: (a) the ageing, or longevity in vitro, of the virus in extracted sap; (b) the thermal inactivation point; and (c) the dilution end-point.
