Bishop 403 Conclusions and Recommendations 417 Acronyms 425 The participants in this conference recommended the creation of a mechanism for strengthening agricultural and ecological research in the Amazon region. A small committee was appointed to implement the recommendation and this led to the establish- ment of an informal cooperative research network known as the Red de Investigación Agraria para la Amazonia (REDINAA). Scientists associated with REDINAA are presently in the process of preparing cooperative research proposals that will be submitted to appropriate national and inter- national agencies. The conference sponsors are pleased with this development and encourage others interested in contributing to the strengthening of agricultural and ecological research in the Amazon region to participate in the REDINAA programs. Preface Agricultural and forestry development in the Amazonian Basin have significant potential for contributing to economic growth and improved human welfare in this vast region of South America. Although national policies concerning colonization and the bringing of new lands into production vary greatly, the predominant trend in the Basin is toward accelerated development of frontier regions. Realization of the Amazonian agricultural potential will not, however, be an easy task, for experience has demonstrated numerous technical, social, and economic constraints. It is now well recognized that there is an urgent need to expand and strengthen research programs which will generate the much greater knowledge base necessary to ensure that agricultural development in the Amazonia is both technically and economically sustainable. In response to this need, national governments hope to establish new, as well as strengthen, their existing research stations in Amazonia. Several international technical assistance and funding agencies have also demonstrated an increased interest in cooperating with research programs in the region. The latter group includes the five agencies that sponsored the International Conference on Amazonian Agricultural and Land Use Research which was held at CI AT in Cali, Colombia, April 16-18, 1980. The Conference brought together about twenty distinguished scientists and government officials from the six major Amazonian countries and an approximately equal number of international agency representatives. The objective was to identify and promote the most promising research opportunities that could lead to improved agricultural technologies appropriate for the ecological and economic conditions unique to Amazonia. 8 AMAZONIA Agriculture and Land Use Research The presentations made and discussions held provided an overview of national policies concerning agricultural development in Amazonia, reviewed the current state of knowledge on alternative agricultural and land use options, identified priority research topics, suggested a strategy for improved cooperation amongst concerned agencies, and led to the establishment of a steering committee charged with formulating a mechanism for implementation ofthat strategy. A subsequent meeting of the steering committee held in Manaus, Brazil, resulted in the first steps being taken to form an Amazonian Agricultural Research Network (Red de Investigación Agraria para la Amazonia). This publication is intended to make the results of the CIA T Conference available to all individuals and agencies interested in the Amazonian region and in agricultural development in the humid tropics in general. Hopefully it will also serve as a useful state-of-the- art document providing a base for and facilitating future research in the region. We wish to

Gosling Abstract Controversy surrounds the Quaternary palaeoenvironmental history of Amazonia. It is unclear whether moist evergreen forest, savannah or seasonally dry forest dominated the Amazon basin at the last glacial maximum (c. 21,000 years B.P.). In part the uncertainty surrounding the palaeoenvironmental history of Amazonia stems from a poor understanding of the ecological significance of the fossil pollen records from the region. In order to improve interpretations of the fossil pollen record it is essential to better understand the nature of the pollen rain produced by modem ecosystems.

    ACTA MYCOLOGICA Vol. 43 (2): 153–159 2008 New records of smut fungi from Venezuela: Anthracoidea uleana, Sporisorium panici-petrosi and Ustilago schroeteriana MARCIN PIĄTEK Department of Mycology, W. Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences Lubicz 46, PL-31-512 Kraków, [email protected] Piątek M.: New records of smut fungi from Venezuela: Anthracoidea uleana, Sporisorium panici- petrosi and Ustilago schroeteriana. Acta Mycol. 43 (2): 153–159, 2008. Three smut fungi from Venezuela are described, illustrated and discussed based on newly studied collections. Ustilago schroeteriana Henn. is reported for the first time from the country. Anthracoidea uleana (Syd. & P. Syd.) Vánky is confirmed in Venezuela onCarex longii Mack., which is an accessory host for this smut. Sporisorium panici-petrosi (Syd. & P. Syd.) M. Piepenbr. is reported on Thrasya sp. from a second world locality in northern Venezuela, its description is slightly expanded and issues concerning typification of this name and the nomenclature of the host in the type collection are clarified and corrected. Key words: Anthracoidea, Ustilago, Sporisorium, smut fungi, Neotropics, South America INTRODUCTION Neotropical smut fungi have been recently monographed by Piepenbring (2003) who listed 227 species from this part of North and South America. This number seems to be not final, and the author considers that many new species can be discov- ered in the area as well as numerous species can be found in particular countries as a new national records. Indeed several further new species have been subsequently described from different parts of Neotropics (Vánky 2004, 2005, 2006). Venezuela is the sixth largest country of South America, located at the north- ern coast of the continent, bordering with Colombia, Brazil, Guyana and the Carib- bean Sea.

  • Making a Pinhole Camera
    Homework – Autumn 11 Making a Pinhole Camera Your task this week is to make a pinhole camera. You will need to do the following: Ensure you have the correct materials to make your camera (see below) Follow the step-by-step guide carefully. Take a photo of your finished creation for us to see. You DO NOT need to bring in your camera to school. Write a paragraph about the process of making your camera. You will need to include: o What materials you used. o Were the instructions easy to follow? o Was it a success? Were you able to create an image? o Would you do anything differently? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- What is a pinhole camera? The word “camera” comes from camera obscura, which simply means “dark chamber”. A pinhole camera is one of the most basic examples of this concept. Pinhole cameras are made from a lightproof box, some photographic paper and a tiny hole (often made with a pin, hence the name). The pinhole is just an aperture, not a true lens, but because it is so small it will still focus on an image on the opposite side of the box, exposing the photo paper placed there. How to make a pinhole camera You will need: A box with a lid – You can make your own or use a shoebox or similar, but then the lid is on it must not let any light inside. You could also use a wide cardboard tube instead. A roll of aluminium foil or sheet of black paper. Sticky tape. Scissors. A needle or drawing pin.

Due to the large number of species and convergence in many char- acters, an adequate infrageneric classification is still needed. Studies on Paniceae based on molecular and morphological data have suggested that Paspalum is paraphyletic, including the genus Thrasya, but none of these analyses have included a representative sample of these two genera. In this study, phylogenetic relationships among the informal group Decumbentes of Paspalum, plus subgenera and other informal groups, and the genera Thrasya and Thrasyopsis were estimated.

  • Photographic Printing Enlarger
    Photographic printing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image on paper for viewing, using chemically sensitized paper. The paper is exposed to a photographic negative, a positive transparency (or slide), or a digital image file projected using an enlarger or digital exposure unit such as a LightJet printer. Alternatively, the negative or transparency may be placed atop the paper and directly exposed, creating a contact print. Photographs are more commonly printed on plain paper, for example by a color printer, but this is not considered "photographic printing". Following exposure, the paper is processed to reveal and make permanent the latent image. Printing on black-and-white paper The process consists of four major steps, performed in a photographic darkroom or within an automated photo printing machine. These steps are: Exposure of the image onto the sensitized paper using a contact printer or enlarger; Processing of the latent image using the following chemical process: o Development of the exposed image reduces the silver halide in the latent image to metallic silver; o Stopping development by neutralising, diluting or removing the developing chemicals; o Fixing the image by dissolving undeveloped silver halide from the light-sensitive emulsion: o Washing thoroughly to remove processing chemicals protects the finished print from fading and deterioration. Optionally, after fixing, the print is treated with a hypo clearing agent to ensure complete removal of the fixer, which would otherwise compromise the long term stability of the image. Prints can be chemically toned or hand coloured after processing.[ Enlarger From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An enlarger is a specialized transparency projector used to produce photographic prints from film or glass negatives using the gelatin silver process, or from transparencies.
