As an undergraduate, I did a research project as part of my degree
examinations concerning NFT (nutrient film technique).

There was considerable debate at the time (1974) about the requirement
for a substrate through which the roots could grow (so the root cap
would be sloughed off as it is in soil).

I discovered that my cucumber plants grew *better* without a substrate
and where less prone to white-fly infection than plants grown alongside
in acid washed sand irrigated with the same nutrient solution.

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 10:12:02 GMT

Dear all,
         I previously posted to this group seeking persons interested in
crocus. I can now supply more information from my horticultural friend,
Mark Harvey who collects species of this genus.
He is interested in obtaining seed of several of the rarer species:

1. C. autranii  (Georgia)
2. C. michelsonii  (Kopet Dag Mts, Iran and Turkmen)
3. C. hartmannianus  (Cyprus)
4. C. biflorus  ssp artvinensis  (Turkey)
5. C. sieberi  ssp sieberi  (Crete)
6. C. antalyensis  (Turkey)

Mark wishes to make contact with any person who has similar taxonomic/
horticultural interest with a view to exchanging information/seeds.

Failing this, he is seeking FULL addresses (or even e-mail addresses) for
the Botanical Gardens in several key centres, i.e. Tblisi, Georgia;
Athens, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey.
As the next few months are apparently ideal for obtaining seed it would
be much appreciated if anyone can help with the above requests.

Furthermore, are there any other newsgroups to which the above information
can be posted?


Many thanks, Robbie McDonald.

Hi there,

Could someone tell me if there is a hazard of any kind in introducing
a plant called Plumeria in the Mediterranean region (Switzerland and
southern Italy).

I don't know the gender and specie of the plant. It comes from my
trip to Hawaii where it is sold for exportation. 

The plant gives a bush with white and scented flowers (tough it can be
of other color too).


I would like to know if the plant already exists in the region I want to
put it. I don't want to upset the local flora !


Thanks if you have any info on that plant.

Fellow netters,
 
First my apologies for cross-postings - sorry for the clutter, I just want
to reach some interested party in as wide an audience as possible.
 
Now to the question:
 
Recently I have established a codon usage table for Eucalyptus based on
a small number of genes that have been cloned in this lab from
Eucalyptus gunnii.  I am interested in determining whether the codon usage
data that I have can be extended to other Eucalyptus species and therefore
was wondering if anyone out there with Eucalyptus sequnce data would be
willing to share their codon usage data.  I can compile a more
general Eucalyptus table and distribute it to interested parties if
any responses are received.  I'm interested in using the data to generate
better oligo probes based on amino acid sequence data that we have in the
lab.
 
I realize there aren't a whole lot of groups working on Eucalyptus molecular
biology out there so, if you know of any (particularly if they aren't in the
net), could you please bring this posting to their attention.
 
Thanks in advance,

  Ik weet er neit zo heel veel van, maar het schijnt dat ze voor de slow-
motion beelden uit barcelona een systeem gebruiken met een tot 4 (ja vier!)
maal zo hoge scan-frequentie dan normaal tv. (PAL) Hierdoor is dus de frame
rate ook 4 maal zo hoog. Deze beelden worden dan op een digitale taperecorder
(D2 of D3 ofzo) opgenomen. Door het digitale video kan er heel langzaam
zonder problemen afgespeeld worden. Door de 4 maal zo hoge frame rate 
blijft het beeld scherper. Natuurlijk is de (electronische) sluitertijd 
van de cameras ook hoog ...

Men experimenteert ook met HDTV daar, maar het lijkt mij dat ze die 
beelden niet gebruiken voor de uitzendingen.

  Verder wordt alle editting  in Barcelona  op D3 formaat (digitaal) gedaan
en de verbindingen vanuit Barcelona naar de rest van de wereld zijn ook
digitaal, dit alles om een (technisch) zo mooi mogelijk plaatje te krijgen.
  Toch wel een hele berg zeer geavanceerde techniek, ik zou daar best
wel eens een kijkje willen nemen ....

Maar misschien weet een echte broadcast-video techneut hier veel meer over
zeggen.

Nlnet.misc kan dan gewoon bestemd blijven voor het huidige
