Drosophila Information Service Drosophila Information Service Number 95 December 2012 Prepared at the Department of Biology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii DIS 95 (December 2012) Preface Drosophila Information Service (known as “DIS” by those in the field) was first printed in March, 1934. Material contributed by Drosophila workers was arranged by C.B. Bridges and M. Demerec. As noted in its preface, which is reprinted in Dros. Inf. Serv. 75 (1994), Drosophila Information Service was undertaken because, “An appreciable share of credit for the fine accomplishments in Drosophila genetics is due to the broadmindedness of the original Drosophila workers who established the policy of a free exchange of material and information among all actively interested in Drosophila research. This policy has proved to be a great stimulus for the use of Drosophila material in genetic research and is directly responsible for many important contributions.” Since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of Dros. Inf. Serv. volume 95 could not have been completed without the generous efforts of many people. Robbie Stinchcomb, Carol Baylor, and Clay Hallman maintained key records and helped distribute copies and respond to questions. Except for the special issues that contained now-dated stock lists and similar material, all current and past issues are now freely- accessible from our web site: www.ou.edu/journals/dis. Each year’s issue is uploaded for free access at this site soon after its formal publication at the end of a calendar year. We continue to encourage all researchers to consider submitting articles that use Drosophila for teaching as well as articles that report new techniques, research results, and interesting new mutations. In the interests of honoring the long-standing philosophy of open exchange of ideas, we sometimes accept articles that have unusual perspectives. We thank the many contributors from around the world who sent material for this issue, and we invite your submissions as well as any suggestions you have for maintaining this as a useful Drosophila research community resource.

This is indeed a terrific achievement and we would be justified in saying that we have laid a strong foundation for a unique scientific institution. However, I strongly feel that we are at a fork in our journey ahead. A number of events over the past years necessitate a reevaluation of the functioning of NCBS for our sustained growth and relevance, and to help us chart a path for our future trajectory.

In this case, 48 can be written as 16 * 3 = (24 * 3) Now, increment the power of each of the prime numbers by 1 and multiply the result. In this case it will be (4 + 1)*(1 + 1) = 5 * 2 = 10 (the power of 2 is 4 and the power of 3 is 1) Therefore, there will 10 factors including 1 and 48. Excluding, these two numbers, you will have 10 – 2 = 8 factors. Sum of n natural numbers -> The sum of first n natural numbers = n (n+1)/2 -> The sum of squares of first n natural numbers is n (n+1)(2n+1)/6 -> The sum of first n even numbers= n (n+1) -> The sum of first n odd numbers= n^2 Finding Squares of numbers To find the squares of numbers near numbers of which squares are known To find 41^2 , Add 40+41 to 1600 =1681 To find 59^2 , Subtract 60^2-(60+59) =3481 Finding number of Positive Roots If an equation (i:e f(x)=0 ) contains all positive co-efficient of any powers of x , it has no positive roots then.
