Phylogenetic Assignment of the Fungicolous Hypoxylon Invadens (Ascomycota, Xylariales) and Investigation of Its Secondary Metabolites

This renders H. invadens an interesting target in our efforts to find new bioactive secondary metabolites from members of the Xylariales. So far, only volatile organic compounds have been reported from H. invadens, but no investigation of non-volatile compounds had been conducted. Furthermore, a phylogenetic assignment following recent trends in fungal taxonomy via a multiple sequence alignment seemed practical. A culture of H. invadens was thus subjected to submerged cultivation to investigate the produced secondary metabolites, followed by isolation via preparative chromatography and subsequent structure elucidation by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). -
La Fonética Del Silbo Gomero
La fonética del silbo gomero Por Andró CLASSE Unlverridid de Glasgow. £1 silbo gfomero es un modo peculiar de comunicación de uso corriente en La Gomera, una de las Islas Canarias. Es una forma de español, en que la vibración de las cuerdas vocales es reempla zada por un intenso silbido, con el propósito de hacer posible la comunicación a distancia en un terreno abrupto. Se supone que fue adaptado al español por los conquistadores de la isla, pero que de hecho los inventores del sistema fueron los gomeros prehispá- nicos,^ quienes usaban un silbo basado en su propio lensfuaje, acerca del cual se sabe muy poco (Cf. Bibliog^rafía 1, 4, 5, 7, 9). El silbo gomero no es el único lenguaje silbado del mundo (6,10); pero, según mis conocimientos, es el único que se basa, no en rasgos prosódicos, sino en rasgos puramente articulatorios. De todos modos, no es imposible que puedan hallarse, en alguna otra parte del mundo, otras muestras de silbidos articulados; pero, de existir, es seguro que diferirían del silbo gomero sólo en su base fonética, y que serían idénticas o muy semejantes a éste en cuanto al mecanismo de su producción. Hay abundantes referencias a este silbo y, por lo menos, dos amplios estudios (7, 9). Desgraciadamente no fueron escritos por ' Serian eitos misraoi aborígenes quienes, al mudar de lenguaje, en el curso de un proceso más bien lento, adaptaron el silbo a su nuevo idioma.—ATote del Traductor.

What many once knew as the Swan Street parking lot was a small triangular parcel of land—the last piece of real estate George needed to complete his school and theater, at least as he had originally imagined it back in 1922. But the price the owner demanded was in George’s mind too high, and so the theater project went ahead without that property. In the ensuing years, the University of Rochester purchased the lot, and we are now completing the second phase of our Eastman Theatre Renovation and Expansion Project.

Great-Granny's Garden: a Living Archive and a Sensory Garden
Biodivers Conserv (2011) 20:441–449 DOI 10.1007/s10531-010-9931-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Great-granny’s Garden: a living archive and a sensory garden Liv Borgen • Ane S. Guldahl Received: 7 September 2009 / Accepted: 18 October 2010 / Published online: 9 November 2010 Ó The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Since 2003, the Botanical Garden in Oslo has been involved in a project coordinated by the Norwegian Genetic Resource Centre. The wide range of work super- vised by this centre includes conservation of ornamental plants. Our garden has been responsible for the registration and collecting of ornamentals in Southeast-Norway and has a special responsibility for the conservation of Paeonia species and cultivars. As a result of the project, Great-granny’s Garden was opened to the public in 2008. It has two objectives. Firstly, it shall be a living archive of Norway’s horticultural heritage. Although proven hardy, easy to grow, and long-lived, old varieties of traditional ornamentals are rapidly disappearing. We aim to keep these old-fashioned varieties for sustainable use in future horticulture and encourage people to use them in present day gardening, both in new gardens and in the restoration of old ones. Secondly, the garden is designed as a sensory garden for people with dementia, in cooperation with Oslo’s Resource Centre for Dementia and Psychiatric Care of the Elderly. It is enclosed by a picked fence and by shrubs, offers rest on several benches, and has a paved and easy to follow round-walk among traditional garden elements and plants with a lush variety of colours, forms, and scents. -
The RTOS Story
The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations. -

N., L. N. Vasilyeva & J. D. Rogers (2007) Chlorostroma sub- cubisporum gen. et. sp. nov. and notes on the systematic position of Thuemenella cubispora. Sydowia 59: xxx-xxx. Chlorostroma subcubisporum is a new genus and species erected to accom- modate a taxon featuring a green stroma bearing perithecia, asci with an apex that does not become blue in iodine, and subcubical brown ascospores with a promi- nent germination slit. The two extant collections are inhabitants of Hypoxylon stromata from North Carolina. Although this taxon seems to be a member of family Xylariaceae (Xylariales, Ascomycota), its position is equivocal owing to anomalies in cultures and molecular data. Thuemenella cubispora, which C. subcubisporum resembles in general ascus and ascospore morphology, was tentatively considered by others to be a member of family Xylariaceae primarily on the basis of its Nodulisporiumlike anamorph. Molecular data presented herein supports this taxonomic disposition. Keywords: ascomycetes, pyrenomycetes, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In the course of a survey of the mycobiota of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina we collected a pyr- enomycetous fungus inhabiting stromata of Hypoxylon perforatum (Schwein.:Fr.)

An increasing number is escaping and naturalising, also in natural habitats in the Canary Islands (Spain). However, a detailed treatment of variously naturalised and invasive species found in the wild in the Canary Islands is not available and, as a result, species identification is often problematic.
