Defense Conversion Resource Guide

The bipartisan Assembly Task Force on Defense Conversion was created in March 1993. The mission of the 23-member Task Force is to maximize federal defense conversion funding for California and assist communities in the defense conversion process. During the last seven months, Task Force members have worked toward accomplishing this mission through a variety of activities, which include: • Establishing a hotline for assistance on available federal and state grants and other defense conversion-related activities; Conducting regional hearings in the Bay Area and Southern California to identify barriers to federal and state assistance in defense conversion; • Providing the Congressional Task Force on Defense Reinvestment and Economic Development with suggested federal legislation to remove the barriers to defense conversion; • Conducting special hearings on base facility reuse and defense worker retraining opportunities through Task Force working groups (worker retraining, community adjustment, and defense industry adjustment); • Convening workshops on base reuse planning, toxic cleanup, and economic development for California communities affected by scheduled base closures; and •Introducing legislation, which was signed into law, to assist communities in the military base reuse and defense conversion process.

AS-942-22 Resolution to Establish Semester Terms

Approves Establishment of Semester Terms (attached to the resolution)

AS-946-22 Resolution to Establish Processes for Curriculum and Academic Program Proposal Review for Conversion to Semesters

Approves “Procedures for Curricular and 26 Program Proposal Review, 2022-26 (attached to the resolution)

AS-944-22 Resolution on Units of Credit and Time Patterns on Semester Terms

Each Academic Program modifies each course in its respective curricula with units of credit that best meet its program needs and course learning outcomes. Also, each Academic Program offering support courses uses the existing course consultation process with all Academic Programs that include its support courses as part of their required curricula. And further, the Academic Senate will collaborate with the Office of the Registrar to develop time patterns as part of the quarter-to-semester conversion process

FLUORESCENCE STUDIES ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENT DEVELOPMENT IN RHODOPSEUDOMONAS SPHEROIDES * , †

When bleached, aerobically grown cells of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides are transferred to semi-aerobic conditions to induce bacteriochlorophyll synthesis, a new fluorescence band, with a maximum at 790 nm, is observed in addition to the 885 nm emission maximum normally seen in pigmented cells. The 790 nm fluorescence may be due to bacterio-chlorophyll which has not been bound into the chromatophore membrane. The quantum yield of the 885 nm fluorescence is at first relatively high and then, about 1 hour after transfer, drops to the level found in pigmented photosynthetic cells. The coupling to the rest of the photo-synthetic apparatus, as indicated by the effect of dithionite on the fluorescence, also seems to occur during the first hour of pigment development, which suggests that the onset of fluorescence quenching is due at least in part to the synthesis of photochemical reaction centers. Continuation of these studies should provide new information on the formation, structure and molecular interactions of the pigments and the photosynthetic membranes.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/73322/1/j.1751-1097.1968.tb08021.x.pd
