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" was once hung on September 15-19, 1980 on the foreign Centre for Theoretical Physics, Miramare, Trieste (Italy), below the auspices of the IAU government 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 was once an energetic member of the advisory board for the sequence till his demise in could 1997. His enter as to what issues may be coated in destiny volumes of this sequence may be sorely overlooked. the current quantity is worried with neurodegenerative issues 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 quick foreword to those complaints of the 3rd foreign convention on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. through 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 contemporary advances in our wisdom of the aetiology, epidemiology, early acceptance, administration, and the social and commercial implications of those dual scourges of the modern scene.

20. Morphological features of roots of Pinus resinosa. Heterorhizic roots of Pinus resinosa. (Photo courtesy H. ) oversimplify in implying that both long and short roots are present in tree root systems, probably because of the association of short roots with mycorrhizae. Although short roots occur throughout the Pinaceae, Betulaceae, Fagaceae, and a few other gymnosperms, they are absent in many woody plants. Libocedrus, for example, like other plants in the Cupressaceae, does not develop a heterorhizic root system.

TEMPERATURE Although seeds of many species will germinate over a rather wide temperature range, those of some species have rather definite temperature requirements. Whereas Fagus seeds germinate at temperatures slightly above freezing, those of other species require much higher temperatures. Seeds of Pinus contorta germinate at about the same rate at 20°C as at 30°C (Critchfield, 1957). Among seeds which germinate well only over a specific temperature range are those of Acer negundo. Roe (1941) found that seeds of this species showed 67 % germination as temperatures alternated between 50° and 77°F, but only 12% germinated as temperatures alternated between 68° and 86°F.
