UNLABELLED The genus Cercospora contains numerous important plant pathogenic fungi from a diverse range of hosts. Most species of Cercospora are known only from their morphological characters in vivo. Although the genus contains more than 5 000 names, very few cultures and associated DNA sequence data are available. In this study, 360 Cercospora isolates, obtained from 161 host species, 49 host...

We present the first analysis of riparian vegetation types on the Arctic Slope of Alaska including classification and ordination. We classified riparian willow communities according to the Braun-Blanquet approach, and analysed environmental relationships of associations to complex environmental gradients using Detrended Correspondence Analysis. We also examined synecological differences in term...

In Buchwalder et al. [3] we have revisited Mack’s [7] and Murphy’s [9] estimates for the mean square error of prediction (MSEP) of the chain ladder claims reserving method. This was done using a time series model for the chain ladder method. In this paper we extend the time series model to determine an estimate for the MSEP of a portfolio of N correlated run-off triangles. This estimate differs...

AND MORTIMER GARRISON, JR. T HERE IS considerable interest currently with respect to the acid elution metho)d of Kleihauer, Braun and Betke1 for detecting cytologically those circulating erythrocytes which have an appreciable content of fetal hemoglobin (“F-containing cells” ) . The method is based on the lower solubility of alkaliresistant or fetal hemoglobin in an acid environment as compared...

Recent developments in laparoscopic gastrectomy have led to the introduction of various methods of stapled anastomosis. We have also introduced stapled anastomosis to reconstruction of the digestive tract with the aim of performing safe and quick anastomosis and enabling an early return to oral feeding. Reconstruction of the digestive tract following pancreaticoduodenectomy in our institution i...
