When siting works, Canada-style

Article Abstract:

Hazardous waste management in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec provides a model for future US policy. These Canadian provinces replaced the customary top-to-bottom method for choosing waste disposal sites with a policy featuring input by the public, compensation for economic and social damages, cooperation between private and public groups and the linkage of site selection with other factors such as waste recycling. These provisions have helped diminish the political acrimony that often vexes site selection in the US.

Environmentally controlled dimorphic cycle in a fission yeast

Article Abstract:

The dimorphic cycle of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var japonicus and transition between unipolar and bipolar growth are modulated by the nutritional gradient in the environment. Transformation from the yeast form to the mycelial morphology is correlated with widespread vacuolation. The yeast form is unstable on solid media and prone to transform to mycelium. Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var japonicus can therefore be used in the study of yeast morphogenesis and polarity.
