The DNA sequence of a 196 base pair (bp) region of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) genes of three weed species, kochia, prickly lettuce, and Russian thistle, was determined. This region encompasses the coding sequence for Domain A, a region of the amino acid sequence previously demonstrated to play a pivotal role in conferring resistance to herbicides that inhibit ALS. The Domain A DNA sequence from a chlorsulfuron-resistant (R) prickly lettuce biotype from Idaho differed from that of a chlorsulfuron-susceptible (S) biotype by a single point mutation, which substituted a histidine for a proline. The Domain A DNA sequence from an R kochia biotype from Kansas also differed from that of an S biotype by a single point mutation in the same proline codon. This point mutation, however, conferred substitution of threonine for proline. Two different ALS-homologous sequences were isolated from an R biotype of Russian thistle. Neither sequence encoded amino acid substitutions in Domain A that differed from the consensus S sequence. The DNA sequence variation among the R and S kochia biotypes was used to characterize six Ada County, Idaho, kochia collections for correlation between phenotypic chlorsulfuron susceptibility and restriction digest patterns (RFLPs) of polymerase chain reaction amplification products. Most collections showed excellent correspondence between the RFLP patterns and the phenotypic response to chlorsulfuron application. However, one entirely R collection had the RFLP pattern of the S biotype, suggesting that resistance was not due to mutation in the proline codon.

Objective:
To examine the presence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits in Gulf War veterans, and to assess psychiatric comorbidity, health status, healthcare utilization, and quality of life (QOL) along a continuum of BPD trait severity.
Method:BPD and traits were evaluated using the Schedule for Non-Adaptive and Adaptive Personality in 576 veterans who were either deployed to the Persian Gulf (1990–1991) or were on active duty though not deployed to the Gulf. Demographic and military characteristics, personal and family history, psychiatric comorbidity, and QOL were also assessed.
Results:One or more BPD traits were present in 247 subjects (43%), and BPD (≥5 traits) was identified in 15 subjects (3%).The number of traits was significantly associated with age and level of education. Lifetime psychiatric comorbidity was significantly associated with the number of BPD traits present, and level of functioning, health status, healthcare utilization, social functioning, self-injurious tendencies, and military/behavioral problems.
Conclusion:BPD and traits identified in Gulf War veterans were associated with significant psychiatric morbidity, poorer QOL, and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Early recognition and treatment of veterans with BPD symptoms may be warranted to minimize the burden on the healthcare system.

Summary
Malory's work is not usually considered one of the comic masterpieces of English literature; nevertheless, between the celebrations at the beginning and the elegies at the end, there are more comic moments than are usually recognized. There is, however, a sufficient number of such moments that allow us to read Malory as a key figure in the transmission of English comedy harking from the epic humor of Beowulf, to the wit and intricacy of eighteenth-century sentimental comedies, and even on to twentieth-century experiments in comic absurdity.
The immediate problem is the difficulty of determining Malory's sense of humor. Does he mean to be funny when we are amused? And why are we not amused by bits that seem to have made him giggle? As an example of the first difficulty, consider the elaborate quest in the form of a masque, the ‘straunge and […] mervailous adventure’ (63), Merlin prepares for Arthur's wedding feast. A white hart runs into the hall, followed by a ‘brachet’ and ‘thirty couple of blacke rennynge houndis’; the hart knocks over a knight who picks it up and leaves. Then a lady arrives on a white palfrey crying to Arthur to get her brachet back. Then a knight rides in and carries the lady away, although ‘ever she cryed and made grete dole’. And, then, Malory adds, ‘[s]o whan she was gone the kynge was gladde, for she made such a noyse’ (63).

Summary
The most perceptive student of the Lancelot tradition in Italy may well be Francesca da Rimini. The well-read adulteress provides important evidence that, although no medieval Italian text of the prose Lancelot exists, the story was familiar, at least to the noble and educated, in fourteenth-century Italy. Almost too well known to merit repetition, her discussion of the Lancelot nevertheless raises too many relevant issues not to require yet another look.
‘Ma s’a conoscer la prima radice
del nostro amor tu hai cotanto affetto.
dirò come colui che piange e dice.
Noi leggiavamo un giorno per diletto
di Lancialotto come amor lo strinse;
soli eravamo e sanza alcuno sospetto.
Per più fiate li occhi ci sospinse
quella lettura, e scolorocci il viso;
ma solo un punto fu quel che vinse.
Quando leggemmo il disïato riso
esser basciato da cotanto amante,
questi, che mai da me non fia diviso,
la bocca mi basciò tutto tremante.
Galeotto fu ‘l libro e chi lo scrisse:
quel giorno più non vi leggemmo avante.’ (Inf. V.124–38)
[‘But if you have such great desire to know the first root of our love, I will tell you as one who weeps and tells. One day, for pastime, we read of Lancelot, how love constrained him; we were alone, suspecting nothing. Several times that reading urged our eyes to meet and took the color from our faces, but one moment alone it was that overcame us. When we read how the longed-for smile was kissed by so great a lover, this one, who never shall be parted from me, kissed my mouth all trembling. AGallehaut was the book and he who wrote it; that day we read no farther in it.’]
This abbreviatio of a crucial moment in the adultery of Lancelot and Guinevere (itself a ‘cover’ for a crucial moment in the adultery of Paolo and Francesca) indicates Dante's (and Francesca’s) knowledge of the story but, as many have noted, it provides no clue as to what version of the Lancelot-Grail might have been available to either the poet of Florence or the lady of Rimini.
