"War Games" by Elmer Berry, O. L. Fritsch and G. B. Affleck
No full textThis pamphlet, titled "War Games", was written by Springfield College (then known as International YMCA College) professors Elmer Berry, Otto Loren Fritsch, and George Baird Affleck. The book includes games selected to train people in different squads during World War I. It has some handwritten notes on page 3 and a drawing on page 26.Elmer Berry graduated from Springfield College in 1902 and was an instructor in anatomy, gymnastics, and athletics before receiving a MPE degree there in 1908. Later, he was a professor of physical education and physiology at the college. He received EdM and EdD degrees at Harvard University and was the author of several articles on physical education. In 1927, he was called to the National YMCA, College of Physical Education in Saidapet, Madras, India, and served as acting principal for two years. He retired from the YMCA service in 1939 after thirty-four years of service. He was a physical education professor at the State College of Washington and the University of Oregon and was presented with the Tarbell Medallion in 1947 for service.
George Baird Affleck (1876-1958) spent his boyhood in the woods of Canada, where he became an enthusiastic trapper, camper, and naturalist. He attended Manitoba Provincial Normal School (g. 1895), University of Manitoba (g. 1897), and Springfield College (g. 1901), where he played on the lawn hockey team. He worked as the Assistant Secretary of the Winnipeg YMCA from 1898-1899 and as the Physical Director of the State Teachers College (Cedar Falls, Iowa) from 1901-1907. He spent the following two years as the Physical Director of the Central Department YMCA in Chicago. In 1908, Springfield College hired Affleck, and he remained here until his retirement in 1941. Affleck was professionally affiliated with the American Student Health Association, National Education Association, College Physical Directors’ Society, AAHPRER, American Social Hygiene Association, and American Camping Association of YMCA Secretaries. For thirty years, he compiled and edited the “Selected Bibliography in Physical Education.” He wrote articles for the Association Seminar, Physical Training Magazine, Pedagogical Seminar, Camping World, Journal of Health and Physical Education, Research Quarterly, and he co-authored the Classification for Physical Education Library. In 1944, Springfield College awarded him the Tarbell Medallion, which recognizes outstanding service

Gaultheria marronina sp nov (Ericaceae) from Sichuan, China
No full textGaultheria marronina, a new species from the Hengduan Mountain chain of western Sichuan Province, China, is described and illustrated. This species is similar to G. bryoides P. W. Fritsch & L. H. Zhou from the Gaoligong Mountains in its white fleshy calyx with a maroon capsule but differs in its stem setae 0.34-0.50 mm long, petioles 0.4-0.6 mm long, leaf blades 5.1-6.2 x 2.1-3.1 mm, overwintering flower bud pedicels 0.6-0.8 mm long, calyx lobes 2.2-3.0 mm long, and usually slightly open fruiting calyx, among other characters. The species is known only from two widely separated unprotected populations and is categorized as endangered

Isolation and characterization of "Arabidopsis" mutants with altered homologous recombination levels : a new function for an INO80 SWI/SNF ATPase
No full textHomologous recombination (HR) in eukaryotic organisms serves a dual role in providing
genetic flexibility by creating novel sequence assortments upon meiosis and in maintaining
genome integrity through DNA repair in somatic tissues. HR represents an alternative
pathway to non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) for the repair of double-strand breaks
(DSB). The repair by NHEJ may not preserve the integrity of the genetic information
whereas the HR pathway is more faithful. The choice of a pathway to repair DSBs is thus
crucial for genome integrity and evolution, especially in plants where the germline is only
determined late during development. Very little is known on what influences the choice of
the pathway taken, but chromatin structure at the site of a lesion likely will play a major
role in the recruitment of repair enzymes and thereby the choice of repair pathway. As a
consequence, various proteins that are not part of the core of the recombination machinery
may directly participate in the regulation of HR. At the time this work was initiated, no
plant gene involved in the HR pathway or its regulation was characterized yet. As plants
are powerful genetic tools especially for screening, we decided on designing and
conducting a genetic screen to identify plant genes involved in HR.
Here I describe a genetic screen in Arabidopsis thaliana for mutants with altered
somatic recombination levels and the characterization of the resulting mutant candidates.
For the screen, I used a stably integrated luciferase based intrachromosomal HR substrate
and a T-DNA construct designed for activation tagging as a mutagenic agent. Out of 19520
individual transformants tested, 37 exhibited an altered HR phenotype. Nine of them were
sterile and/or exhibited important developmental or growth phenotypes that precluded the
formation of progeny seeds, which is more than the average number of sterile plants
expected. However, in most cases the altered recombination phenotype was lost in the
offspring. To characterize the mutations, I cloned all the T-DNA insertion sites by plasmid
rescue and determined the potential target genes. I discuss the genes likely to be responsible
of the observed phenotype.
Here I report the thorough analysis of a mutant in the Arabidopsis INO80 ortholog of
the SWI/SNF ATPase family, which shows a reduced frequency of HR. In contrast,
sensitivity to genotoxic agents and efficiency of T-DNA integration remain unaffected.
This suggests that INO80 is a positive regulator of HR, while not affecting other repair
pathways. Further, transcriptionaly silent TSI loci are not reactivated in absence of INO80,
suggesting that Arabidopsis INO80 function is independent of transcriptional silencing.
Using whole genome expression studies by microarray profiling I show evidence that
INO80 regulates a small subset of Arabidopsis genes, suggesting a dual role for INO80 in
transcription and repair by HR. Moreover, the recombination-promoting function of INO80
is not likely to involve general transcriptional regulation, and the transcriptional regulation
of repair related genes is unaffected in the mutant. This is the first report of INO80 function
in a higher eukaryote. Mononucleosome binding studies support the suggestion that INO80
positively regulates HR through modification of chromatin structure at sites of DNA repair
by HR. Finally, I provide evidence for the existence and/or connectivity of INO80 with
other INO80 complex partners in Arabidopsis
De l'utilité des aménagements routiers dans l'agglomération nantaise
No full textMajor road infrastructure projects have been realized during the last twenty years in the agglomeration of Nantes (orbital motorway, highways, bridges accross the river Loire). As a new generation of Urban Transportation Plans is about to be started in major french cities, an important point at issue is the one of the estimation of social and economic utility of road infrastructure. In this paper, the author presents a mesogeographic cost-benefits analysis, for year 1994, of road infrastructure realized since 1983. Based on the classical theory of surplus, this analysis allows to estimate the time saved in car transportation due to these investments, and to produce a rate of return for the community of these new roads. Results of calculations are rather high, showing the great usefulness of these realisations. Annual time savings for car transportation are about 10 M hours, giving a rate of return about 25% .Au cours des deux dernières décennies, d’importants aménagements routiers ont été réalisés dans l’agglomération nantaise (rocade, autoroutes et voies express, franchissements de Loire) et se pose la question, à l’heure de la mise en place d’une nouvelle génération de Plans de Déplacements Urbains, de l’évaluation de l’utilité économique et sociale de ces réalisations. Cet article, en s’appuyant sur la théorie classique du surplus, propose une grille d’analyse des bénéfices que la collectivité a retiré, en 1994, des nouvelles infrastructures routières aménagées depuis 1983. Celle-ci permet d’évaluer les gains de temps, sur les déplacements en automobile, dérivés de ces aménagements et d’en déduire un taux de rentabilité pour la collectivité. Les résultats des calculs effectués sont élevés, reflétant la grande utilité des nouvelles infrastructures routières de l’agglomération. Les gains de temps annuels pour les déplacements en automobile sont de l’ordre de 10 M d’heures, donnant un taux de rentabilité économique et social d’environ 25 %.Fritsch Bernard.
