Mutagenesis and Functional Studies with Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitors in the Wheat Pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola
A range of novel carboxamide fungicides, inhibitors of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is currently being introduced to the crop protection market. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of structurally distinct carboxamides on target site resistance development and to assess possible impact on fitness

Proposals for Using Objective Indicators as a Guide to Exchange Rate Changes: A Historical Comment (Propositions d'utilisation des indicateurs objectifs en tant que guide des modifications des taux de change: un commentaire historique) (Propuestas para utilizar los indicadores objetivos como orientación en las modificaciones de los tipos de cambio: un comentario histórico)
The proposals for the control of exchange rates contained in the plans put forward by Lord Keynes and Mr. White in 1942-43 differed materially from the provisions in the Articles of Agreement of the Fund adopted at Bretton Woods in 1944. These differences are analyzed, and two explanations are suggested: (a) In the give-and-take of negotiations, both men acquired a better understanding of each other's problems, and thereby allayed mutual suspicions. This enabled them to concede points that they had originally stipulated. (b) The provisions finally agreed reflect an acceptance by Lord Keynes, against his original ideas, of Mr. White's insistence that the Fund must be controlled politically, and not by experts. /// Les propositions concernant le contrôle des taux de change dans les plans présentés par Lord Keynes et M. White en 1942-43 différaient fondamentalement des dispositions des Status du Fonds adoptés àBretton Woods en 1944. Après avoir analysé ces différences, l'auteur avance deux explications: a) au fil des négociations, les concessions mutuelles ont permis àchacun d'entre eux de mieux comprendre les problèmes de l'autre, ce qui leur a permis de dissiper leur méfiance. Ils ont pu ainsi faire des concessions par rapport àleurs points de vue initiaux; b) les dispositions finalement retenues montrent que Lord Keynes a accepté, en dépit de son opposition initiale, la conviction très ferme de M. White quant àla nécessité de confier la direction du Fonds àdes hommes politiques, et non àdes experts. /// Las propuestas de control de los tipos de cambio formuladas en los planes presentados por Lord Keynes y el Sr. White en 1942-43 diferÃÂan esencialmente de las disposiciones del Convenio Constitutivo del Fondo adoptado en Bretton Woods en 1944. Se analizan estas diferencias y se ofrecen dos explicaciones: a) En el toma y daca de las negociaciones, los dos hombres llegaron a comprender mejor los problemas del otro, lo cual suavizó el recelo mutuo. Esto les permitió transigir en algunos puntos originalmente considerados no negociables. b) Las disposiciones definitivas indican una aceptación, por Lord Keynes, contraria a sus ideas originales, de la tesis en que habÃÂa insistido el Sr. White de que el Fondo fuese controlado polÃÂticamente y no por expertos.
