A 2-yr study was conducted in a citrus orchard (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cultivar Valencia) todetermine the inßuenceofplantwater stresson thepopulationdynamicsofglassy-winged sharpshooter,Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar). Experimental treatments included irrigation at 100% of the crop evapotranspiration rate (ETc) and continuous deÞcit-irrigation regimens at 80 and 60% ETc. Microclimate and pl...

In this workshop, I introduce some of the reasons for my fascination with alife and my desire to use it for music making. I also talk about some of the joys and sorrows of the collaboration process. Four alife worlds, Feeping Creatures, Spinners, Gakkimon Planet and Listening Sky are described in the order they were made.

The winged helix proteins constitute a subfamily within the large ensemble of helix-turn-helix proteins. Since the discovery of the winged helix/fork head motif in 1993, a large number of topologically related proteins with diverse biological functions have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy. Recently, a winged helix transcription factor (RFX1) was shown t...
