An importantpart of dialoguemanagementin a dialoguesystemis topicmanagementThe systemhas to keep track of topic aspects (current topic, context, obligations,. . . ) in order to be able to resolve ambiguities and to respond in a cooperative and sensible way. In the project, we are developing a system that takes part in a conversation about theater performances and is able to make ticket reservat...

The LONG TERM ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH program (L TEA) is a network of field sites used to study structure and process in natural landscapes at temporal and spatial scales of decades or centuries. The ten sites now funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Biotic Systems and Resources, include forest, prairie, desert, and aquatic environments. Major questions are addressed at each site...

A typical vertebrate cell contains several hundred sites of transitional ER (tER). Presumably, tER sites generate elements of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), and ERGIC elements then generate Golgi cisternae. Therefore, characterizing the mechanisms that influence tER distribution may shed light on the dynamic behavior of the Golgi. We explored the properties of tER sites using Se...

Royal visit as Hancock says farewell to RCNPrincess Anne visited the RCN's refurbished headquarters in London last week to perform the official opening. She is pictured with student Peace Ajiboye in the new library. Later, health and political leaders were among guests at a reception to mark the departure of RCN general secretary Christine Hancock. Miss Hancock is pictured with her local MP and...

The transfer of membranes from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus occurs via 50-70 nm transition vesicles which derive from part-rough, part-smooth transitional elements of the endoplasmic reticulum (TER). Vesicle budding from the TER is an ATP-dependent process both in vivo and in vitro. An ATPase with a monomer molecular weight of 100 kD by SDS-PAGE has been isolated from TER an...

Secretory proteins are exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at specialized regions known as the transitional ER (tER). Coat protein complex II (COPII) proteins are enriched at tER sites, although the mechanisms underlying tER site assembly and maintenance are not understood. Here, we investigated the dynamic properties of tER sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and probed protein and lipi...
