    Notes: Land cover change may impact watershed hydrology and regional climate by altering land-atmosphere exchanges of energy and water. Conversion of forest to pasture has previously been shown to decrease the rate of evaporation (including transpiration) because of reduced aerodynamic roughness, less canopy rainfall interception and greater canopy resistance during dry periods. However, less is known about the effects of forest replacement land covers other than pasture. In this study, field measurements of meteorological processes, stomatal resistance, and Leaf Area Index (LAI) were taken over various deforested land surfaces in the eastern Amazon Basin and in northern Thailand. Based on these measurements, evaporation and sensible heat flux were estimated over each site. Results show the degree to which different land covers replacing tropical forest affect energy partitioning. In comparison with forest, non-irrigated, actively and recently cultivated sites had sharply lower rates of evaporation. Secondary vegetation generally had higher rates of evaporation than actively or recently used sites. The proportion of energy used for evaporation increased rapidly with age in secondary vegetation. Evaporation rates at sites eight and 25 years after abandonment in the Thailand study area were enhanced by positive sensible energy advection from nearby cultivated areas, and were similar to those of primary forest. Differences in dry season evaporation rates of 3-, 8- and 25-year secondary vegetation are explained, in part, by the differences in canopy resistance. Minimum canopy resistance was 223, 61 and 58 s m −1 , respectively at the 3-, 8- and 25-year sites.

    Notes: : :An isolated bacterium strain named CN2 found in Vietnamese fish sauce has been identified as Bacillus subtilis. In an enzyme-producing medium with 0% and 8% NaCl concentration, the CN2 strain produced the maximum collagenase activity, 3.07 U/ml and 2.60 U/ml. The strain also produced gelatinase, but the maximum activity was only 1.03 U/ml at 8 h of incubation time and prolonged more than 22 h. Bacillus subtilis CN2, grown slowly in a medium containing 12% NaCl, showed a decreased rate of collagenase activity with a maximum activity of 1.60 U/ml at 18 h of incubation time. The culture supernatant of CN2 strain digested a purified native collagen from rat tail tendon as well as αs-casein at Met123-Lys124 position. Therefore The culture supernatant of CN2 can be used to produce healthy foods.

    Notes: Abstract A lipid hydroperoxide-resistant mutant was isolated from a strain ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutant was resistant to 1.5mm tert-butylhydroperoxide and 1.0mm linoleic acid hydroperoxide. It flocculated in a Ca2+-dependent manner and the resistance against lipid hydroperoxide was suppressed by mannose, which also inhibited flocculation. A positive relationship between the acquirement of, the flocculent phenotype and resistance against lipid hydroperoxide is suggested. A protein with a molecular weight of 33 kDa was found on the surface of the mutant cell.
