Hi Una,

Yes, I'm on the line. The other day I was playing around with the news
program and apparently sent an empty message.

I wanted to answer to the question about vegetation ecologists in
Amazonia. Here at the University of Turku (Finland) we have a small group
of people working in Peru, especially in Loreto and  Madre de Dios. We
are four biologists and two geologists at the moment, and the main
research topics have been the geological history of the area and its
influence on the vegetation. The vegetation studies have concentrated on
two main aspects: 1) the dynamics of the flooded forests, and 2) the
ecology of the non-flooded forests. I'm involved in the latter one, which
as a whole includes the classification and mapping of the rain forest
vegetation, studies on the species composition and species richness of
the different vegetation formations, and studies on the ecology of some
plant groups as well as their biogeography. My pet plants are the ferns,
so if anyone knows ongoing or published studies on their ecology or
biogeography I'd be most pleased to know about them. We are also making
extensive use of satellite imagery in the work so it would be nice to
have contacts with other people doing something similar.

greetings!  i currently work in satellite imagery of grasslands. i'm 
interested in learning about remote sensing work in flooded forests because
i want to work with a multi-platform project on the flooding dynamics
of the Pantanal region (Brasil, Paraguay, & Bolivia). also, i'd like to contact
ecologists of any type working in the Pantanal. thanks! geoff henebry

Hanna,

Right now, my former advisor at Duke University (North Carolina, USA)
is in the Manu National Park, upstream from the Madre de Dios, finishing
his field season.  With him are perhaps a dozen researchers, graduate
students and assistants.  The assistants are mostly Peruvian students
who are getting experience before applying to graduate schools outside
of Peru, since Peru apparently has no graduate programs in ecology.  
I have rounded up e-mail addresses for about 10 people who have worked
(or do work) in Manu, and invited everyone to subscribe here.  I know
there are many more people at universities here in the US and elsewhere,
but I have not been able to contact them so far.

There are a number of long-term projects running in the Manu National Park,
at the Cocha Cashu Biological Station and at the park station at Pakitza.
The former are run by John Terborgh, and the latter by the BIOLAT program
of the Museum of Natural History in Lima, Peru and the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington DC (USA).  These projects involve sampling and
census programs in various permanently marked, mapped plots on floodplain
and upper terrace forest sites.  I don't know of any fern projects, but
that does not mean there are none.  You might want to ask John:

    Dr. John Terborgh, Director
    Center for Tropical Conservation
    Duke University
    Durham, NC  27706  USA

I know that John has wanted to locate satellite images for the Manu
watershed for a number of years now, and he might appreciate hearing
from you what is available.

Ed,
	The only contig assembly software I know of that is available
with source code is from the MRC, Cambridge, England.

Contact Rodger Staden (rs@cele.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk) or Simon Dear (sd@cele.

PURPOSE:
To bring together researchers interested in the use of FPGAs as computing
elements to present recent work.  While papers of a theoretical nature
are welcomed, it is anticipated that this workshop will focus primarily
on the current opportunities and problems in this new and evolving
technology for computing.  A proceedings will be published by the
IEEE Computer Society.

SHORT PAPERS OR ABSTRACTS (10 pages) SHOULD BE SUBMITTED BEFORE
JANUARY 9, 1993 TO ONE OF THE TWO CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS.

This workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the TC
on Computer Architecture.

SOLICITATION::
Papers are solicited on all aspects of the use or applications of
(usually multiple) FPGAs as (usually reconfigurable) computing
elements in attached or special purpose processors or coprocessors,
especially including but not limited to
*** coprocessor boards for augmenting the instruction set of
    general purpose computers;
*** attached processors for specific purposes (e.g. signal
    processing) or general purposes;
*** languages for programming FPGA-based computers;
*** tools and environments for programming FPGA-based computers;
*** application domains suitable for FPGA-based computers;
*** architecture emulation using FPGA-based computers.

[An attempt will also be made to have general panel discussions by the
major software and hardware vendors on what to expect in the near
future in capability for FPGA-based systems.]

Individuals wishing to be put on an email list for further information
about this workshop should send email with name, regular mail address,
and email address to Duncan Buell.

Netfolk,

I am not sure this hit the bulletin board on my last mail so here goes again...

Does anybody have or know where I can get the sequence of Lambda gt22 vector.
The reference is Jang H. Han and William J. Rutter (1987) NAR vol 15 no. 15
"Lambda gt22 an improved lamda vector for the directional cloning of 
 full-length cDNA"

Any of the other lamda variants would also be a bonus (eg gt11, gt18 etc.)

Neteers,

Am I right in thinking there is a sequence retrieval service in Israel that
is available.  I dont get a peep out of the NCBI and EMBL is a bit slow
in turnaround.  Any other pointers to other (faster but equally current) nodes
would be much appreciated.

Tony,

	As you may know the mail gateways into the U.K. have a
tendency to jam on occasion at nsfnet-relay.ac.uk, so it may not be
NCBI's problem.  Their reply to you might be queued somewhere.  NCBI's
service is usually very fast.  You should notify them (I'll cc them on
this) if you're having problems (info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

	As a general rule, everyone should contact the group in charge
first.  I too have had cases in the past of hearing about system
problems from third parties instead of having people contact me
directly.
