    Notes: The possibility of producing gynogenetic plants with pollen inactivated by irradiation was explored for the onion (Allium cepa L.). Two successive experiments included the use of cytoplasmic male sterility, recessive nuclear markers in the female plants and pollen irradiation of 150 Gy. Pollinations were achieved with the aid of flies and all seeds were harvested without the use of embryo rescue. Plantlets with recessive characters could be detected and they contained haploid and diploid cells. The development of these plantlets until flowering was observed under agronomic conditions. The use of doubled haploid (DH) plants in onion breeding is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In 1987 a group of Michigan public health nurses recognized the need to capture the richness of the lives of renowned public health leaders by collecting and preserving their oral histories. With the assistance of the Bentley Collection at the University of Michigan, the Michigan Oral History Project found a home. In this paper, the process of designing and implementing the oral history project is described within the framework of McBride's Orchestrating the Stages of a Career, adapted from the Dalton/Thompson/Price career development model. The steps in selecting interviewers and leaders, conducting the interviews, and keeping track of the completed work are outlined. Finally, the early results and potential uses for the collected data are discussed. This project has special significance in this year for the celebration of the centennial of public health nursing.

    Notes: A prescriptive model for announcing layoffs is presented. The model isbased on a thorough literature review and indepth case analysis of eightcompanies which announced layoffs. Based on the model, tenrecommendations for effective layoff announcements are presented anddiscussed. Because the cases' analysis revealed that most strategiesrelating to the announcements were superficial, the major recommendationis to develop a thorough strategy. This model should help to develop anappropriate strategy. The nature of the layoff and organizationaldynamics are first considered in this model. Other variables consideredare the source of the announcement, the channel used to present themessage, the timing of the announcement and the message itself.

    Notes: Abstract Corporate change and employee dislocation are inevitable in a free market. However, the current employment relationship in the U.S. that affords a perceived employment safety net is contrary to the natural canon of honesty. Employees cannot be guaranteed employment when a company fails or a product is no longer viable. Attempts to provide costly employment safety nets cause a firm to allocate resources to nonproductive programs that may ultimately cause a loss of competitiveness. These strategies to provide alternate employment may provide only short-term solutions. But even short-term safety nets against unemployment may be sending employees unrealistic messages ... a permanent safety net against unemployment. As a result, employees may lose incentive to be innovative in creating their own personal safety nets. The resolution is candor about the risk of employment. A false employment safety net is not what employees want or need and in the long run it may be detrimental to American competitiveness.

    Notes: Abstract Polynesians have lower heterozygosities at minisatellite VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeat) loci than have Melanesians; this has been taken as evidence of population-size bottlenecks during the colonisation of Polynesia. We have analysed the allelic distribution of several minisatellite loci in the population of Rapa, a Polynesian island that is known to have undergone a demographic reduction of approximately 95% since first contact with European explorers 200 years ago, leaving a surviving population of 120. We found that the minisatellite diversity of this population does not differ significantly from that of other Polynesian populations, and appears consistent with the neutral expectation of diversity assuming the infinite alleles model. This suggests that the demographic crisis that Rapa underwent did not perturb the allele distribution to the extent that the tests used here could detect. Thus we cannot say that a demographic change of this magnitude constitutes a genetic bottleneck detectable at these loci. The reduced diversity seen in Polynesia must therefore be explained either by more severe bottlenecks as might be expected during colonisation, or else by other causes.

    Notes: Summary The epidermal growth factor (EGF) is one of several growth factors involved in normal breast epithelial development and tumor proliferation. EGF and EGF-like peptide TGFα bind and activate the same membrane receptor protein. This receptor (EGF-R) has been recently studied in breast tumor biopsies and its detectability reported as a prognostic indicator. However, normal and tumor tissue themselves produce EGF and related peptides in variable amount. This suggests that the standard measurement of EGF-R by binding assay should reflect only the number of non-occupied receptor sites. Based on this observation, the presence of occupied sites (EGF-R2) has been assessed in 216 human mammary tumor biopsies simultaneously with the direct measurement of non occupied EGF receptor sites (EGF-R1) and the results compared to estrogen and progesterone receptor status (ER, PGR). EGF-R1 and EGF-R2 were evaluated by 2 separate (125I) EGF binding assays performed on 2 aliquots of tumor crude membrane fraction, the first one directly, the other after dissociation of the endogenously bound ligand. The validity of the method has been assessed on membrane fractions prepared from human placenta. It is shown that the dissociation does not modify the binding dissociation constant. ER and PGR were measured by the dextran coated charcoal method. Results 〉 10 fmol/mg of membrane or cytosol protein were considered as positive. It is found that EGF-R1 and EGF-R2 are detectable in 54 and 90% of the cases, indicating that EGF-R is masked by endogenous ligand in 36% of the tumors. The mean incidence of EGF-R1 positivity is significantly higher in ER-(66%) than in ER+ tumors (49%) while EGF-R2 is detectable in 90% of tumors regardless of ER status. These data suggest that EGF-like peptides are locally produced in the majority of breast tumors. The positive relation between the presence of ER and the total occupancy of EGF-R sites could be in favor of their control by estrogens.

    Description / Table of Contents: The determination of the electric birefringence has proved to be a simple and sensitive method of distinguishing between the α- and β-forms of poly-γ-benzyl glutamate. Fractions of polypeptides prepared by extraction with different solvents have been examined by this method. It has been found that methanol as solvent at room temperature extracts only β-peptides, while acetic acid under the same conditions also dissolves large quantities of the α-form.It has been verified that solutions of poly-γ-benzyl glutamate in dioxane follow KERR'S law and the KERR effect has been shown to run parallel with the kinetic and paper chromatographic behaviour of solutions in which the LEUCHS anhydride of γ-benzyl glutamate is being polymerized. Two distinct phases of polymerization show up clearly as would be expected from the theory of formation of α-helices in solution.
    Notes: Die elektrische Doppelbrechung hat sich als einfache und empfindliche Methode zur Unterscheidung der α- und der β- Form des Poly-L-glutaminsäure-γ-benzylesters erwiesen. Polypeptidfraktionen, welche durch Extraktion mit verschiedenen Lösungsmitteln hergestellt wurden, sind mit dieser Methode untersucht worden. Methanol extrahiert bei Zimmertemperatur nur β-Peptide, während Essigsäure ebenfalls große Mengen der α-Form herauslöst.Die Gültigkeit des KERRschen Gesetzes wurde für Lösungen des Poly-L-glutaminsäure-γ-benzylesters in Dioxan nachgewiesen. Bei vergleichenden Untersuchungen mit kinetischen Messungen und der Papierchromatographie konnte auch mit der KERR-Methode bei der Polymerisation des L-Glutaminsäure-γ-benzylester-N-carbonsäureanhydrids das Vorhandensein von zwei unterschiedlichen Phasen in Übereinstimmung mit der Theorie von DOTY bestätigt werden.
