Dear all,
I am expecting to start a masters course in (Natural) Resource Management next
autumn, (in British Columbia). I would like to hear from anyone who has done
this type of degree,
what kind of jobs did you go into after you finished the programme? 
hhow much did you feel you learned from it?
how interested were prospective employers in the type of research project
you did, or in your pre-masters background ?
finally, what course areas do you think you actually used when you were out
in the real world?
Ideas, advice, comments all welcome

We are attempting to produce a GST fusion protein that appears to be
either produced in small amounts or doesn't survive proteolysis well.
Can anyone recommend a source of an antibody that would be expected
to recognize GST epitope(s) in a Western blot?

Hello!


Thanks to the many people who answered our survey of users
and possible users of the Kabat database of Sequences of
Proteins of Immunological Interest.  Many of you had
questions regarding the availability of the database in
electronic form.

The Kabat database is being kept by the NCBI of NLM at
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (IP 130.14.20.1) in the /repository/kabat
directory.  Please look through the README file in this
directory for information regarding what is in that directory
and the subdirectories.

We are pleased to announce that PostScript files of the
database are available in the subdirectory Postscrpt.  The
information in these postscript files is current.  On our
SUN/unix machines here, we can print the PostScript files
on LEGAL sized paper with the command lpr <filename>.  I
am not yet familiar with how to print these things on
Macs, Ibms, etc, but I hear that it is possible and easy.
All these files are compressed.  Uncompress them before 
using them.

Please look over the README file and please glance at the
data files before concluding that things are too confusing.

The README file contains an e-mail address for correspondence
with the database workers (T.T. WU and me).


Thank you for your interest!

            Protein Data Bank Announcement 
                      11/4/92
---------------------------------------------------------------------


Protein Data Bank via FTP 
-------------------------

Beginning immediately, all full-release and pre-release coordinate 
entries will be available from Brookhaven National Laboratory via
anonymous ftp and the PDB e-mail server.  As we expect a dramatic 
rise in the number of users downloading entries, we request that
users limit the number of files transferred during a given FTP session.
Those requiring a substantial number of entries should continue to
order the PDB on tape or CD ROM.  


File Server and Anonymous FTP
-----------------------------

At Brookhaven, the PDB has an e-mail file server available for your
use. This server provides PDB general information and documentation
files. For more information, send an e-mail message to
fileserv@pb1.pdb.bnl.gov and include the following text:

	send info your_e-mail_address.

The PDB also has an anonymous FTP account available on the 
system pdb.pdb.bnl.gov with Internet address 130.199.144.1. It is 
possible to transfer files to and from this system using "anony-
mous" as the FTP user name and your real user name as the pass-
word. PDB general information and documentation files, as well 
as pre-release atomic coordinate entries, are available for down-
loading. You also can upload any files that you may wish to send 
to the PDB. Those using VMS may need to place quotes around 
file names. 

Anyone experiencing problems or having questions related to the 
above network service should send an e-mail message to             
skora@bnl.gov.

Accessing PDB via Gopher
------------------------

The PDB anonymous FTP directories can now be accessed via the gopher 
service.  Those running the Gopher client can access the PDB FTP 
site by including the following link:

  Name= Protein Data Bank ftp Site
  Type=1
  Host=pdb.pdb.bnl.gov
  Port=70
  Path=1/

For more information or help in accessing PDB via Gopher, send an e-mail
message to oeder@bnl.gov/

------------------

Please include your telephone number, facsimile number, mailing 
address, and e-mail address in all correspondence.

Reply-To: biovote@genbank.bio.net

Voting is still open on bionet.virology through 22 Nov.  The charter
for bionet.virology is provided below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposal to establish bionet.virology

Discussion leader:   Robert Coelen
                     Department of Microbiology
                     The University of Western Australia

bionet.virology charter:

It is the intention to use bionet.virology as a group for:

(a) the posting of information relating to:

        (1) Virus taxonomy
        (2) Virus structure and morphogenesis
        (3) Multiplication of viruses
        (4) Virus genetics and evolution
        (5) Epidemiology and Pathogenesis of viruses
        (6) Host response to viral infections
        (7) Vaccinology and antiviral chemotherapy
        (8) Any other matters pertaining to viruses not 
            mentioned above

Whilst the group name is virology and the charter above 
only mentions viruses, postings in the above categories 
about infectious agents such as viroids and prions are to 
be included in this group. Discussion about evolution 
should be restricted to viral evolution only.
(b) the posting of news on methods or reagents relating 
to techniques used uniquely for or with viruses
It is not intended to include postings on methods or 
reagents common to molecular biology. These are better 
placed in bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts.
(c) the posting of articles from various 'non-journal' 
publications such as CDI weekly, and other infectious 
diseases bulletins and the various virus newsletters (eg 
Virus Information Exchange Newsletter)
(d) the posting of articles relating to current outbreaks 
of viral disease around the world
------------------------------------------------------------------

Voting on bionet.virology will run through 24:00 hrs Pacific Time on
22 November 1992.  Please send your vote to either of the following
addresses:

Address                               Location        Network

biovote@net.bio.net                   U.S.A.          Internet/BITNET

Your vote should contain a single line:

YES on bionet.virology

if you favor creation of the newsgroup or

NO on bionet.virology

if you think that the creation of this newsgroup will adversely affect
the BIOSCI system.  If you are simply not interested in participating
in this newsgroup, please don't cast a NO vote, but instead just don't
vote at all.

The newsgroup proposal must receive at least 80 YES votes to pass and
the number of YES votes must be greater than the number of NO votes by
at least 40.  Discussion of the newsgroup proposal is now closed and
we strongly discourage posting any messages in other forums about the
fact that a CALL FOR VOTES has been issued.

            Announcement of Temporary Interruption of Access to
                     The Protein Information Resource

The National Biomedical Research Foundation will not have direct access to
BITNET from 17:00 EST Friday 20 November through about 12:00 EST Monday 23
November because of a system upgrade to be performed on a connecting node.
Users who normally access the PIR Network Request Server through BITNET
channels can expect a delay in response until full channel operation is
restored.

This interruption will not affect our On-line System users or users who
normally access the server through Internet channels.  BITNET users may
wish to attempt to access our server through a gateway at the Internet address
FILESERV@NBRF.GEORGETOWN.EDU

We regret any inconvenience this temporary loss of service will cause.

I'm looking for spike train data produced from real neurons.

It is for the analyse of stochastic point processe described by Perkel,
Gerstein and Moor (1967) and crosscorrellation analyse.

Spike trains from two interacting (inhibitory or excitatory)
pacemaker (or other) neurons would be very welcome.

The organisation of the data should be in Intervals
e.g.
|   |   |    |   |        <-  neuronal spike train
 10  10  15   10      ms
or 
|   |   |    |   |
0   10  20   35  45  ms

also floating point.

Thank you

I agree with Peter -- it might be hard to train a rat to approach a
sound.  There is, however, psychophysical data on the spatial hearing
of rats (Norway rats anyway), and also of many other species.  Look
for references by R. Heffner and H. Heffner.  I suspect that rats
mainly want to localize sounds in order to avoid predators, however
rodents do use sound to find their pups.  Could you use ferrets
instead?  Or some other carnivore?  Andy King at Oxford has been
studying free-field sound localization in ferrets (see this year's
Neuroscience abstracts).  I don't see why they couldn't be trained to
do discrimination tasks.  Bats have, of course, been successfully
trained on many auditory discrimination tasks in which they approach
the designated positive stimulus, but they wouldn't be the animal of
choice.
