Reaching Out: A University Botanical Garden Builds Long-distance Relationships

Botanical gardens continually seek new ways to improve their education programs and increase their audiences. In the case of most university gardens, the larger academic community presents many opportunities. However, what does a university garden do when separated by several hours travel from the campus served? Garvan Woodland Gardens and the University of Arkansas (UA) have developed several ways to address this challenge. A summer school session and Elderhostel program work together to benefit both partners in this alliance. This article discusses these efforts according to their structure, costs, and educational benefits.

The Roles of the University of Tennessee Gardens in a Public Horticulture Teaching Program

The University of Tennessee's undergraduate and graduate public horticulture concentrations are new programs designed to prepare individuals for careers in public horticulture that emphasize people and their education and enjoyment of plants. These new programs could not exist without the educational resources of the university's gardens. The gardens play a variety of roles in supporting faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students in these programs. The gardens serve as an outdoor laboratory and classroom and provide on-campus opportunities for the following teaching and learning activities: plant identification; plant photography; garden design; plant use; garden maintenance internships; special problem topics (e.g., production of annual variety trials, planting and labeling trials, writing garden literature, and creating interpretive displays); mapping and cataloging plants; and garden writing. Only through a university-based garden could opportunities to engage students in such meaningful learning experiences occur providing them with the competitive edge for entering the public horticulture field.

Seasonal patterns in the physiology of the European brown bear ( Ursus arctos arctos) in Finland

The physiological indicators such as body temperature, blood chemistry and hematology of seven European brown bears ( Ursus arctos arctos) were used in the present study. They were kept in either the Zoological Garden of University of Oulu (65°N, 25°24'E) or the Ranua Zoological Garden approx. 150 km NE of Oulu. Transmitters with a temperature-dependent pulse rate were implanted subcutaneously or into the abdominal cavity under anesthesia. Our data indicate that the body temperature of the bear decreases during the winter sleep to 4–5°C below the normal level (37.0–37.5°C). The lowest values, 33.1–33.3°C, were measured several times in midwinter. Hematocrit, hemoglobin and erythrocyte counts seem to be higher, and the leucocyte count lower during the denning period than in the awake bear. Plasma N-wastes were lower during the winter sleep than before or after it. The analysed blood parameters showed that plasma catecholamines and thyroid hormones decreased in the fall.

Real-time road edge following for mobile robot navigation

Research on autonomous vision-guided vehicles has received attention from several groups worldwide. This paper describes the ongoing research at the University of Bristol to explore mobile robot road-following algorithms and suitable hardware architectures to run these algorithms. The prototype hardware, designed and built at the University, is a real-time frame grabber system based on transputers. Two approaches to real-time road edge following that have been tested to guide a small tracked vehicle around the paths of the University gardens are described.

Delta Greenbriar - Atlanta – (EE. UU.)

«Delta Greenbriar» is a corporate centre for the Delta air line company. The complex comprises four buildings containing: 1) the installations for flight simulation; 2) the air training base; 3) the control centre for flights and communications; 4) the department for tickets and reservations. They consist of one of two storeys. The lower ones can be extended both horizontally as well as vertically, whereas the other ones can only be enlarged in horizontal direction. The unit has been designed like a university campus, with patios, inner gardens and exterior corridors which apart from connecting the various buildings with each other also provide a close contact between the office premises and the park.

THE DYNAMIC ASPECTS OF DROSOPHILA POPULATIONS IN SEMI-NATURAL AREAS

Aspects of Drosophila populations in a semi-natural state carrying various kinds of vegetations in the University Gardens at Sapporo were investigated during the years 1953 through 1962. A general account of the Gardens and some of the climatological features are described. For this study collections of drosophilid flies on a large scale have been done with the use of banana traps at a single site during the ten years. Collections were made monthly from May to October, except in 1953 and 1955. These collection dates and times are shown in Table 1. In 1959 differential attraction of drosophilid species to five different kinds of yeasts was examrnd using fermenting banana bait, in which the test yeast was actually growing, at three different sites in the Gardens.During the period of this survey, a total of 46, 619 specimens of fourty-three species of Drosophilidae was obtained by the method of trapping. These collection data were summarized in Table 3.Population sample obtained from the semi-natural areas in traps of banana bait, has been constructed from two “abundant”. seven “common” and thirty-four “rare” species. Relative frequencies of the thirteen leading species are shown in Table 5. Among the “abundant” and “common” species, D. auraria race A (a representative of the auraria species population in this Gardens), D. nigromaculata, D. lutes, D. brachynephros, D. immigrans and D. suzukii have been found to be domestic forms closely associated with man, while D. testacea, D. bifasciata and D. lacertosa have had wild habitats throughout Hokkaido. Yearly changes in the relative frequencies of abundance of these species were more conspicuous in “common” species than in “abundant” ones. Mean humidity and rainfall shown by each year or each collecting season during the ten years seem to exert no influence upon the relative frequencies of these drosophilid species. Variations in the other environments in this Gardens may occur from year to year affecting such frequencies of Drosophila species.The distribution and preferences to yeast of drosophilid species in this Gardens are described. Abundant and more common species showed generally larger adaptive abilities in relation to the collecting sites and to the yeasts than less common species so far investigated. Percentage frequency of females in total drosophilid flies sampled by banana traps during nine years (1954-1962) was 45.61. Only one species, D. testacea, among the “abundant” and “common” species showed female superiority with the frequency of 59.85 percent. Sex-ratios of most of the species seem to be affected more or less by collecting site and yeast attractant.

Japanese Plants in the Netherlands

THE Leyden Branch of the Royal Horticultural Society of the Netherlands, in order to commemorate the founding of the well-known acclimatisation garden for Japanese plants by Dr. P. F. von Siebold, is planning to hold an exhibition, on May 4–8, at Leyden, of living Japanese plants, shrubs, and trees, many of which are descendants of plants imported by von Siebold. Belgian and Dutch horticulturists are collaborating to make this collection as complete as possible. At various other institutes of the University of Leyden, smaller exhibits will be held of the ethnographical, zoological, and botanical material gathered by von Siebold. Biographical materials will be shown in the University Print Collection. In the University gardens, which still contain more than forty of von Siebold's trees and shrubs, a bronze statue, by the sculptor, O. Wenckebach, will be unveiled by the grandson of von Siebold and by the grandson of his head-gardener.
