    Notes: Although some studies and experiences have shown that R & D project selection models can be potentially useful decision aids, their adoption and routine use is not widespread. This lack of usage may be a consequence of the lack of attention which model builders have traditionally given to the prevailing adoption attitudes of R & D managers. A design methodology centering around the measurement of adoption attitudes has been developed and used by the authors. The methodology consists of procedures for analyzing the organizational climate relative to project selection model usage, developing an acceptable model form relative to the organizational climate, and inducing the adoption of this model form within the climate. Three case applications of the methodology are described in which negative-to-positive shifts in adoption attitudes occurred and project selection models were adopted for long-term use. These results indicate that the use of this general methodology may lead to increased formal adoption and widespread usage of project selection model forms in R & D.

    Notes: A resource allocation system developed for a government laboratory has been subjected to a full-scale experiment within that organization. The experimental system includes: (1) a multiplicative benefit estimation procedure, (2) a constrained optimization resource allocation model hosting piecewise linear benefit functions and interactive capabilities for sensitivity analysis, and (3)a network tracking procedure for predicting progress on major laboratory objectives. It is applied to R & D activities representing 3/4 of the laboratory's total program. The methodological philosophy, structure, and experimental design are presented together with attitudinal data and informational insights gleaned from the experiment. The flexibility of the system for adapting to alternative management models and benefit functional forms is demonstrated.

    Notes: Abstract Penetration of Allium cepa epidermal cells (white, yellow, and red varieties) by Botrytis allii induced a response by host protoplasts in normal tissue which was not observed when penetrations were made in protoplast-free host cell walls. Callose and auto-fluorescing substances (possibly phenolic compounds) were located at the penetration sites only in normal host cells containing protoplasts. Lignin tests were negative. Halos were clearly visible in both types of tissue. Autofluorescence was observed at penetration sites in normal cells of all cultivars but general wall background autofluorescence was not observed in white onions. Autofluorescence was generally yellow green and when treated with ammonium hydroxide became green. Treatment with sodium hydroxide abolished autofluorescence. No attempt was made to isolate the autofluorescing material.

    Notes: Abstract Halos detected using interference microscopy (even- and fringle-field modes with monoand poly-chromatic light) around penetration sites of Botrytis allii in cell walls of normal and protoplast-free outer epidermal tissue of white, yellow, and red onions were alike. Halos in protoplast-free cell walls contained 33% less dry mass than areas of these walls adjacent to halos (quantitative interference miscroscopy with 546 nm light in the even-field mode). Halos were significantly larger in the white onion than in the yellow and red varieties. The loss of cell wall dry mass during the production of halos involved the loss of pectin and cellulose. We infer that this is caused by enzymes released from the pathogen. Cuticle degradation at penetration sites was not observed.
