Date: 17 Mar 1996 02:00:31 -0800 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 149 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199603171000.CAA06576@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net I'm interrupting the usual monthly posting of the BIOSCI miniFAQ to bring you up to date on BIOSCI fundraising progress, a topic of concern to your future use of this resource. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this message carefully. Last year we announced that BIOSCI was going to adopt the U.S. Public Broadcasting System model to fund its operations after our DOE/NSF grant runs out later this year. Unlike PBS, we are not soliciting contributions from users; we are only selling ads on our Web pages solely to cover our operating costs. Our goal is to seek sponsorships until we build up an operating reserve of about $100,000 and then cease further promotions until we need to build the reserve back up. (The accountants among our readership will be familiar with the problem of deferred revenue which we can not safely utilize until ads have been displayed for a period of time.) We have three sponsors to date with a couple more pending. The process is time-consuming, however, and we need your help as explained further below. Our operating costs consist of our network connection, phone lines, hardware maintenance (we hope to have new and faster hardware soon!), plus 0.7 FTE of salaries covering UNIX systems admin, technical support, quality assurance, i.e., testing, of our system, and administrative costs (such as the time it takes to actually find/write/call potential sponsors and raise money!). Although the BIOSCI staff does get compensated for a portion of the work that they do, this project has always received a lot of free after-hours and "vacation" time labor, so we hope that no one will begrudge the time that we do charge to the project to serve you. All of the three part-time staff members, Dave Mack, Julie Lawrence, and myself, have full time day jobs and families in addition to working hard to keep this service running for all of you. Julie and Dave Mack are subcontractors for BIOSCI; my time that is charged to the project defrays a portion of my regular salary instead of adding to my income. Besides having to relocate the project, we were very busy this last year building new infrastructure such as our WWW hypermail interface to the system. This was released last December along with scores of WAIS indices for the newsgroups. Virtually everything is complete, although we do continue to find and fix bugs (many through your helpful feedback!). We are still having some problems with our WAIS indexing. The archives continue to grow rapidly. We are running over 100 indexes now versus three previously and any systems crashes cause greater havoc with the indexing than before! We are still working to fix this as fast as our resources permit and appreciate your patience, but we have been able to automate a lot of the infrastructure to reduce labor as compared to past requirements. We have also implemented new software to make moderation of BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups much easier and combat the growing problem of Internet junk mail and USENET "spamming." About 20% of our groups are now moderated, many of them by the BIOSCI staff! This, for example, made a major difference last year in the quality of content in our EMPLOYMENT/bionet.jobs.offered newsgroup which many commercial concerns and recruiting firms are using **without charge** to recruit candidates for positions in the biological sciences. We are also now in a position to have sponsors for individual newsgroups as you will have noticed if you have visited http://www.bio.net/ and clicked on "Access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups" recently. So, how can you help?? ---------------------- As noted above it can take a lot of time to contact potential sponsors if I have to do it all myself. Our request is quite simple. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can now post or reply to messages via your Web browser. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. Our hope is to quickly raise several large corporate/institutional sponsors on our heavily-used WWW locations (some stats appended below), and then end this sponsorship campaign so that our resources can continue to be used for service provision, not fundraising. Many of our specialty newsgroup WWW archives are still used by small communities of scientists (and they haven't been heavily promoted yet). While these may be valuable niche markets to some advertisers, it will generate more labor and overhead having to find these sponsors, fairly price the locations, and deal with lots of smaller sponsorships than fewer mid-to large sponsors. We are striving to keep our operation as lean and efficient as possible since we are not trying to make careers out of running BIOSCI. We are trying if at all possible to avoid the administrative overhead entailed with processing lots of small payments to reach our fundraising goals. I'd like to thank all of you for your help in advance. In helping us, you are also helping yourselves, not only in keeping this resource available for all of the both large and small research communities that we serve, but also by alleviating the need for us to go back and compete with researchers for tight grant dollars! We promised NSF when we were awarded the BIOSCI grant that we would carry out this mission to make the service self-supporting. With your help, we will succeed in continuing BIOSCI's work into its second decade. Thank you very much!

It's called Keyout and it is in the beta stage of development. Features: * Designers can include graphics and text to explain what they mean. * Since all the data is stored in a database, the size of the key is limited only by the space on your harddrive. * Has algorythm to determine the best question to ask. * Has algorythm to rapidly eliminate choices. * Easily edited, updated, and modified. * Takes full advantage of the Windows GUI environment. * Code is available. * You get me for tech support: bayers@kaiwan.com * Comes with a sample database key to adult insect orders. Downside: * It's big, 3 meg zipped. Hey! Blame Microsoft. * Since the key is on a database, I relied on SQL statements to manipulate the data. It's a little slow. * I built the graphics editor myself, it's no Correl Draw; however, you can use the Windows clipboard to import graphics from other programs. The deal: You test the software and report back to me any changes you'd like to see or bugs you found. I make changes and release new beta versions. When the product is refined enough, I release the final version. Requirements: You'll need a PC capable of running Windows 3.1. It was tested on a 486DX/66 with 16 meg of RAM, a P100 with 16 meg of RAM and a 486SX/33 with 8 meg of RAM. The first two were running Win95, the last one had Windows 3.1. It ran best on the Pentium. :) Installation: 1. FTP it from ftp.kaiwan.com It's in the /user/bayers directory. Download it to your PC's root directory. 2. Unzip it with the -d switch to make a temporty directory. For example: pkunzip -d ko_beta.zip 3. Start Windows. Click on the FILE menu item. Then click on the RUN menu item. Browse for \kotemp\setup.exe. Run it. Follow the prompts. NOTE! If you're using 3.1 you'll have to exit then restart Windows to enable the share driver. If you don't, you'll get an error. 4. Start Keyout and read HELP by pressing the F1 key. - Jim -- - Jim From owner-grasses@net.bio.net Tue Mar 19 22:00:00 1996 Path: biosci!rutgers!uwm.edu!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!dish.news.pipex.net!pipex!news00.sunet.se!sunic!news99.sunet.se!news.latnet.lv!news From: sv53130@lanet.lv Newsgroups: bionet.biology.grasses Subject: alcohol Date: 20 Mar 1996 08:55:30 GMT Organization: LatNet news site Lines: 2 Message-ID: <4ioh62$83a@news.latnet.lv> NNTP-Posting-Host: ipc05.lanet.lv Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 16bit) hallo!

Seedlings are growing in a soil/perlite (1:1) mix at about 32 degrees C with 24-hr illumination. We placed pots (3-4" in diameter and about 4" high) in a hydroponic solution with a pH of 5.5, which we top off with water daily and replace weekly. Pots are always in 1-2" of solution. We've tried several different solution formulations, none of which has given good results. Our worst problem has been the onset of chlorosis in our seedlings, typically before they are 3 weeks old. We suspect that this is an iron deficiency, but foliar feeding with a chelated iron solution has not helped. Does anyone know of a good protocol for growing rice in a greenhouse/growth chamber (temp, humidity, pH, lighting, nutrients)? Is there anything apparently wrong with what we've done so far?

Kristian Whiteleather) NNTP-Posting-Host: kanga.ins.cwru.edu I have about a pound each of Andropogon scoparius, A. gerardi, Sorghastrum nutans seeds. They have been kept at room temp since last summer. I would like to plant some this spring but understand that they need a hibernation period at very low temperatures in order to germinate. Is it possible to force these species by putting them in the freezer for a shortened period prior to planting? My hope is to replace the current Asian/African grasses in the landscape plan of my house with these prairie species. I understand they make a good forage for herbivores. Any help on germination techniques would be much appreciated. TIA.

I'm wondering if anyone has had success trying to feed back any available diseases -- as people do by grinding up snails and spraying the juice back onto their plants, supposedly to propagate snail diseases. So I'm going to try blender-izing some of this plant, rhizome to culm, and spraying it on others. It's a very long shot, I suppose. It's a rhizome-forming, very invasive problem in N. California. If anyone, anywhere, knows of a disease or predator -- I understand it is a fine, accepted pasture grass in the Mediterranean countries where it originates, and perhaps it has some known problems? -- please follow up. We'll also try glyphosate painted onto individual grasses -- this is year two of that approach, with some minor success from last year's tries.
