SCAR markers that specifically tag chromosomes 2D of wheat and 2J 1d of Thinopyrum distichum

A SCAR marker for Thinopyrum distichum chromosome 2J1d (involved in salt tolerance) also amplified a slightly larger fragment in chromosome 2D of common wheat and substituted hexaploid triticale. The Thinopyrum and wheat derived fragments were isolated and used to develop two new and highly specific markers for 2J1dL and 2DL, respectively. The chromosome 2J1dL marker is useful in attempts to introgress salt tolerance into cultivated wheat and triticale whereas the 2DL marker can be used for rapid identification of hexaploid triticales with the 2D(2R) chromosome substitution.Articl

Development of a microsatellite library for the flightless moth Pringleophaga marioni Viette (Lepidoptera: Tineidae)

Fifteen microsatellite markers were isolated from an enriched microsatellite library developed specifically for Pringleophaga marioni, a flightless moth species from the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands. Of these, 12 markers were polymorphic in a population of 44 individuals collected on Marion Island. Between 2 and 7 alleles were amplified per marker and the expected heterozygosities (HE) for these ranged from 0.046 to 0.753. These microsatellite markers reported here are the first for P. marioni and will be used to investigate conservation genetic aspects of this species on the Prince Edward Islands

FLOW+RIFT _ New Archaeological Museum at Kato Paphos

Στη συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρείται να δοθεί ένας σχεδιασμός σε ολόκληρο το αρχαιολογικό πάρκο της Κ. Πάφου με τη μορφή στρατηγικού σχεδίου (masterplan) και με βάση αυτό, σχεδιάζεται το Νέο Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο για το συγκεκριμένο πάρκο. Η κεντρική συνθετική ιδέα στηρίζεται σε μια εγκάρσια πορεία η οποία έχει αφετηρία την πόλη, διασχίζει το πάρκο και καταλήγει στη θάλασσα με μια απόληξη σε μορφή μπαλκονιού. Πάνω σε αυτή την εγκάρσια πορεία (ροή), τοποθετείται το Νέο Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο του χώρου το οποίο ακολουθεί την γραμμικότητα της ροής. Το μουσείο στηρίζεται πάνω σε δύο προδιαγραφές. Η πρώτη είναι ότι πρέπει να ίπταται ώστε να μπορέσει να σεβαστεί οποιαδήποτε καινούρια ευρήματα είναι πιθανόν να βρεθούν κάτω από αυτό. Η δεύτερη έχει να κάνει με τη σχέση του κτιρίου σε σχέση με την κλίμακα της πόλης. Επειδή πρόκειται για ένα πολύ μεγάλο κτίριο, περίπου 6000 τ.μ., εφαρμόζεται η τεχνική της ρηγμάτωσης μέσα στην ροή, εκμεταλλευόμενος την υψομετρική διαφορά που δημιουργεί ένας λόφος ο οποίος βρίσκεται μέσα στο αρχαιολογικό πάρκο. Έτσι το κτίριο ίπταται, αλλά την ίδια ώρα κρύβεται μέσα σε ένα ρήγμα ώστε να μπορεί να συνδιαλέγεται αρμονικά με την πόλη και το αρχαιολογικό πάρκο.The diploma thesis project tries to redesign the archaeological park of Kato Paphos at Cyprus as a masterplan and designs also the New Archaeological Museum for the park, based on the masterplan. The main idea is based on a transverse direction which begins from the town, goes across the park and finishes near to the limits of the sea. The New Archaeological Museum is placed on this transverse path (flow) and follows its linearity. The museum relies on two specifications. The first one is that it must be soaring so it can be able to face cases of new findings under it. The second is the relation of the building comparing to the scale of the building environment of town. The building program requires a huge museum close to 6000 sq.m. In this case it is applied the technique of a rift into the flow, taking advantage of the height difference created by a hill which is located inside the archaeological park. So the same time, the building can "fly" while it can be hidden in a rift and can converse in harmony with the city and the archaeological park.Ανδρέας Γ. Κυριάκο
