Language: English. Number of References: 13 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The effect of electron beam irradiation on a series of different writing inks is described. As the anthrax-tainted letters were discovered in October 2001, the U.S. government began to experiment with the use of the electron beam irradiation process for destroying such biological agents. Plans initially considered a large-scale countrywide use of this technology. However, over time the scope of this plan as well as the radiation dosage were reduced, especially when some adverse consequences to mailed items subjected to this process were observed. Little data existed at the time to characterize what level of damage might be expected to occur with common items sent through the mail. This was especially important to museums and other institutions that routinely ship valuable and historic items through the mail. Although the Smithsonian Institution initiated some studies of the effect of electron beam irradiation on archived materials, little data existed on the effect that this process would have on forensic evidence. Approximately 97 different black, blue, red, green, and yellow writing inks were selected. Writing ink types included ballpoint, gel, plastic/felt tip, and rollerball. All noncontrol samples were subjected to standard mail irradiation conditions used by the U.S. Postal Service at the time this experiment was performed. A video spectral comparator and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis were used to evaluate both the control and the irradiated samples. Some published studies reported changes in the presence/absence of dye bands in the chromatograms of irradiated writing inks. Some of these studies report the formation of additional dye bands on the chromatogram while others report missing dye bands. However, using standard testing guidelines and procedures, none of the 97 irradiated inks tested were found to show any significant optical or chemical differences from the control samples. In addition, random testing of some of the ink samples using a second solvent system did not reveal any changes. However, one control ink did show some minor changes in optical properties and dye characteristics over time (but not TLC) while the irradiated sample remained stable. Significant changes in the ultraviolet fluorescence characteristics of the irradiated paper samples themselves (not inks) were also observed.

The focus of this work is to present evidence that the comparison of trace metal data from an imported shrimp sample to an authentic reference database using multivariate statistics produces an accurate geographic location of the sample. The authentic reference database includes data from more than 100 sampling sites spread over eight countries along with the accuracy of each site relative to its known geographic origin. Potential sources of bioaccumulation are briefly discussed; however, it is beyond the scope of this work to provide scientific verification of the mechanism for trace metal uptake.

This approach allows for constraints on mine output due to both limited mining capacity and haulage capacity. The process is estimated by a switching regression methodology previously applied to the "markets in disequilibrium" model. Estimation results yield evidence that the two-stage sequential model is an appropriate alternative model for underground coal mining.

SN - 07353936 AB - The United States Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Secret Service investigates crimes related to U.S. currency, credit cared fraud, forgery of government obligations, and other related violations. However, the Secret Service is perhaps best known for its protective and investigative responsibilities involving the President and Vice President of the United States, members of their immediate families, and visiting foreign dignitaries. During the past 22 years, concern for protective responsibilities has provoked occasional and sometimes fruitful dialogue between the Secret Service and members of the professional behavioral and social sciences communities. this article describes the evolution and future possibilities of that relationship by providing: (a) a brief history and overview of the Secret Service, focusing on its protective and investigative responsibilities, (b) an analysis of the recent contributions of the behavioral and social sciences to the Secret Services, and (c) an assessment of current and future directions to be taken in the professional behavioral sciences intramural and extramural research programs recently established by the Secret Service.

The purpose of this study was to establish baseline information concerning the perceptions relative to the capabilities of the United States to respond to a MCD of persons most likely to involved in the responses to such an event when it does occur.Methods: A survey was constructed in 1995 to query the perceptions of persons in authority in federal, state, and local agencies who would participate in the medical responses to a MCD. Participants were asked to select the most likely scenario, a hurricane or earthquake, that could generate 30,000 casualties within their respective region. The survey requested respondent's perceptions as to the timing of the federal responses and the quality and sufficiency of these responses. The survey also sought information about the availability of plans to meet such a catastrophe in the region, and the frequency with which such plans have been exercised. Responses were grouped by phase of the responses and whether the respondents were employed by federal, state, or local agencies. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. When appropriate, a one-tailed t-test was used to compare the responses of the groups. A p-value = 0 .05 was considered statistically significant.Results: A total of 104 surveys were distributed of which 88 were completed and returned (85%). Both the federal and state respondents had considerable experience in this area.Overall, the federal respondents were more optimistic about the availability, utility, and timely arrival of federal resources to assist regions in meeting the medical needs. In each of the three phases of MCD responses evaluated (medical response, patient evacuation, and definitive care), there was concern that there were insufficient resources to meet the requirements. States and local respondents perceived that initially, they will be on their own for field rescue, life-supporting first-aid, and casualty evacuation. Respondents acknowledged that a combination of local, state, federal, and private resources eventually would be needed to meet the huge demand. Only 31% federal and 26% state/local respondents believed that there will be sufficient combined local, state, federal, and private resources to meet the requirements for the evacuation of casualties to definitive care facilities outside of the region, and another 50% acknowledged the resources would only partially meet these requirements. Sixty-eight percent of state/local respondents believed that there would be insufficient local, state, federal, and private definitive care resources to meet the requirements for definitive care.Conclusions: While three years have elapsed since the survey was conducted and there have been some improvements in preparedness and responses, concerns center around the perceived lack of resource capability or lack of ability to get the resources to the MCD scene in time to meet requirements. Such perceptions by experienced professionals warrant further review by those at all levels of government responsible for planning and responding to mass casualty disasters.

AB - Recent increases in domestic and international acts of extremist violence perpetrated against American citizens have prompted an increased need for information to help understand and evaluate the threat posed to US targets by extremist groups and their individual members. The purpose of this article is to (1) suggest the potential relevance of social psychological research on group behavior for understanding and assessing threats of extremist group violence; and (2) encourage more systematic research on group violence to further inform assessments of group risk. Approaching the issue from the levels of group behavior, and of individual behavior within a group context, the article summarizes research on key principles of group behavior, and the effects of group membership on individual behavior; proposes specific questions derived from these principles for consideration in evaluating risk for violence by groups, and by individuals influenced by groups; and suggests further research needs.

SN - 07353936 AB - Although significant advances in risk assessment research and practice have been made in recent years, there has not been any analysis in the professional literature regarding how and whether the emerging practice recommendations apply in Tarasoff -type situations. We suggest that, when faced with a Tarasoff -type situation, the appraisal of risk should be guided by a method that is primarily fact-based and deductive, rather than by the more inductive risk assessment approach for general violence recidivism, which is guided primarily by base rates and historical risk factors. We review the principles underlying a fact-based, or threat assessment, approach and outline six areas of inquiry that can guide the appraisal of risk: A—attitudes that support or facilitate violence, C—capacity, T—thresholds crossed, I—intent, O—other's reactions, and N—noncompliance with risk reduction interventions.

First, the ground rules at the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, are the foundation of the approach. The logic in the approach to security is crucial and the benefits against the risks are to be weighed. The threats through enhanced intelligence analysis have to be analyzed, to consider how best to prepare and respond to the threat. Section 110 of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act calls for the screening of all cargo on passenger air carriers by November 19. The Transportation Worker Identification Credential program can enhance cargo security without inhibiting smooth operations of cargo carriers.

An eight-year flight program confirmed the role of SEP as a significant hazard and of the neutrons as contributing over half of the galactic cosmic ray exposures, with the largest contribution from neutrons above 10 MeV. The FAA Advisory Committee on the Radiobiological Aspects of the SST provided operational requirements. The more recent lowering of ICRP-recommended exposure limits 1990 with the classification of aircrew as “radiation workers” renewed interest in GCR background exposures at commercial flight altitudes and stimulated epidemiological studies in Europe, Japan, Canada and the USA. The proposed development of a High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) required validation of the role of high-energy neutrons, and this resulted in ER-2 flights at solar minimum June 1997 and studies on effects of aircraft materials on interior exposures. Recent evaluation of health outcomes of DOE nuclear workers resulted in legislation for health compensation in year 2000 and recent European aircrew epidemiological studies of health outcomes bring renewed interest in aircraft radiation exposures. As improved radiation models become available, it is imperative that a corresponding epidemiological program of US aircrew be implemented.

The model will allow computing values for biologically relevant parameters, e.g. dose equivalent and effective dose, for individual flights from 1945. Each flight is described by its actual three-dimensional flight profile, i.e. geographic coordinates and altitudes varying with time. Solar modulated primary particles are flltered with a new analytical fully angular dependent geomagnetic cutoff rigidity model, as a function of latitude, longitude, arrival direction, altitude and time. The particle transport results have been obtained with a technique based on the three-dimensional Monte Carlo transport code FLUKA, with a special procedure to deal with HZE particles. Particle fluxes are transformed into dose-related quantities and then integrated all along the flight path to obtain the overall flight dose. Preliminary validations of the particle transport technique using data from the AIR Project ER-2 flight campaign of measurements are encouraging. Future efforts will deal with modeling of the effects of the aircraft structure as well as inclusion of solar particle events.

The primary cosmic ray spectrum has been modeled through an analysis of simultaneous proton and helium measurements made on high altitude balloon flights and spacecraft. An improved global fit to the data was achieved through applying a unique technique utilizing the Fokker-Plank equation with a non-linear rigidity-dependent diffusion coefficient. The propagation of primary particles through the Earth''s atmosphere is calculated with a three-dimensional Monte Carlo transport program called FLUKA. Primary protons and helium nuclei (alphas) are generated within the rigidity range of 0.5 GV — 20 TV uniform in cos2Φ. For a given location, primaries above the effective cutoff rigidity are transported through the atmosphere. Alpha particles are initially transported with a separate package called HEAVY to simulate fragmentation. This package interfaces with FLUKA to provide interaction starting points for each nucleon originating from a helium nucleus. Results from this calculation are presented and compared to measurements.

To help determine such exposures, the Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation Project, an international collaboration of 15 laboratories, made simultaneous radiation measurements with 14 instruments on a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft. The primary instrument was a sensitive extended-energy multisphere neutron spectrometer, which was also used to make measurements on the ground. Its detector responses were calculated for neutrons and charged hadrons at energies up to 100 GeV using the radiation transport code MCNPX. We have now recalculated the detector responses including the effects of the airplane structure. We are also using new FLUKA calculations of GCR-induced hadron spectra in the atmosphere to correct for spectrometer counts produced by charged hadrons. Neutron spectra are unfolded from the corrected measured count rates. using the MAXED code. Results for the measured cosmic-ray neutron spectrum (thermal to >10 GeV), total neutron fluence rate, and neutron dose equivalent and effective dose rates, and their dependence on altitude and geomagnetic cutoff generally agree well with results from recent calculations of GCR-induced neutron spectra.

Cleanup criteria for environmental contaminants are agreed on prior to remediation and underpin the scope and legacy of the cleanup process. Analysis of cleanup criteria can be relevant for future agreements and may also provide insight into a complex decision making process where science and policy issues converge. An Internet accessible database has been established to summarize cleanup criteria and related factors involved in U.S. Department of Energy remediation decisions. This paper reports on a new user interface for the database that is designed to integrate related information into graphic displays and tables with interactive features that allow exploratory data analysis of cleanup criteria. Analysis of 137Cs in surface soil is presented as an example.

Qualified physician leadership and medical oversight, as in conventional emergency medical services, is an essential component of TEMS. Unique qualifications and expanded responsibilities exist for medical directors of TEMS programs. Enhanced provider scope of practice, adjuncts to conventional EMS protocols, and integration with existing EMS and law enforcement infrastructure are important considerations. Widespread medical acceptance of the TEMS mission and the continued development of physician leadership remain challenges to the future development of tactical medicine.

Here we demonstrate the deflagration of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in a small localized explosion on an uncoated piezoresistive microcantilever. This explosive-vapour sensor, which has a detection capability that is comparable to that of a dog, should enable extremely sensitive, miniature detection devices to be used on a large scale.

This intercomparison was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Measurements Laboratory and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation and Indoor Air. It featured measurements of a background location and the Walker Field Calibration Pads. In this paper, the in situ gamma-ray measurements of the background location were compared to soil samples, and the in situ measurements of the Walker Field Calibration Pads were compared to corrected reference values. The results showed that 84% of the in situ gamma-ray measurements of [sup 226]Ra, [sup 232]Th, and [sup 40]K at the background location fell within 20% of the soil sample mean. Similarly, in situ gamma-ray measurements of the Walker Field Calibration Pads showed that 77% of the in situ concentrations fell within 20% of the corrected reference values.

JO - Emerging Themes in Epidemiology JF - Emerging Themes in Epidemiology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 1 M3 - Article SP - 4 EP - 9 SN - 17427622 AB - Background: Applied epidemiologists are increasingly working in areas of insecurity and active conflict to define the health risks, suggest feasible means to reduce these risks and, monitor the capacity and reconstruction of the public health system. In 2001, The Carter Center and the United States Institute for Peace sponsored a conference within which "Violence and Health" was discussed and a working group on applied epidemiology formed. The group was tasked to describe the skills that are essential to effective functioning in these settings and thereby provide guidance to the applied epidemiology training programs. Methods: We conducted a literature review and consultation of a convenience sample of practitioners of applied epidemiology with experience in conflict areas. Results and conclusions: The health programs designed to prevent and mitigate conflict are in their early stages of implementation and the evaluation measures for success are still being defined. The practice of epidemiology in conflict must occur within a larger humanitarian and political context to be effective. The skills required extend beyond the normal epidemiological training that focuses on the valid collection and interpretation of data and fall into two general categories: (1) Conducting a thorough assessment of the conflict setting in order to design more effective public health action in conflict settings, and (2) Communicating effectively to guide health program implementation, to advocate for needed policy changes and to facilitate interagency coordination. These are described and illustrated using examples from different countries.

AB - This chapter deals primarily with the organization of a multidisciplinary investigation team and reflects on the lessons learned in the formation of one of the country's most successful programs, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project (UTAP). The purpose of the UTAP is to provide case support in difficult, unsolved crimes through the process of case reviews by a board of experts, evaluation of the traditional forms of evidence collected by investigators, and investigative suggestions based on behavioral analysis of a crime. The UTAP mission is to facilitate cooperation, communication, and coordination between law enforcement agencies and provide support in their efforts to investigate, identify, track, apprehend, and prosecute violent offenders and assist in successfully resolving any major case. Investigative decisions are based solely not on the opinions of investigators but also on those of psychological, medical, and forensic backgrounds.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/05//5/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2505 EP - 2512 SN - 0013936X AB - The detonation of a radiological dispersal device (ADD) could produce significant social and economic damage, the extent of which would depend largely on how quickly and effectively cleanup levels were established and on public acceptance of those levels. This paper shows that current radiological cleanup laws and regulations, models for converting dose or risk goals to cleanup concentrations, and existing site-specific criteria were not designed specifically for ROD cleanups but, absent changes, would apply by default The goals and approaches of these legal and methodological structures often conflict; using them in response to terrorism could undermine public confidence, cause delays, and produce unnecessary costs or unacceptable cleanups. ROD cleanups would involve immediate priorities not envisioned in the existing radiological cleanup framework, such as balancing radiation risks with the health, economic, and other societal impacts associated with access to the infrastructure necessary to sustain society (e.g., hospitals, bridges, utilities). To minimize the achievement of terrorism goals, the elements of an ROD cleanup response-including updating existing legal/regulatory structures to clarify federal authority, goals, and methods for developing ROD cleanup criteria-must be in place soon; given the complexity of the issues and the potential societal impact, this effort should be expedited.

The deflagration of TNT causes the cantilever to bend (due to released heat) and its resonance frequency to shift (due to mass unloading). Explosive vapors provide unique responses that are absent for" interferences" such as water or alcohol vapors. The proposed sensor makes possible a sensitive, miniature explosives detection device that may be deployed in large numbers. The minimum amount of TNT detected on the cantilever depends on the cantilever dimensions and was≈ 50 pg for the batch of cantilevers used.

AB - Reviews the book 'How to Design, Implement, and Interpret an Employee Survey,' by John H. McConnell. Criteria for supervisory and managerial performance are elusive. One alternative criterion for managerial performance is employee opinion of the manager's ability to organize, direct, and motivate people to achieve organizational goals. Finally and most importantly, opinion measures have been empirically linked to business unit outcomes. The author does a solid job in outlining the survey process in his closing chapter. The differences between selection and survey projects are not trivial. As the author outlines in the closing chapter and the first half of his book-which is about the right weight for these topics-planning the survey takes a lot of time. A crucial step that the author discusses, is the reporting structure, which is the specific assignment of respondents to managers, managers to functional areas, and so forth. The author also does a good job discussing survey feedback. The essential drawback in this book is that it's functionally obsolete. The grammar is of the sort up with which one will not put. In addition, this book is focused more on private-sector organizations.

Compared to the use of monoatomic primary ion beam bombardment, the use of a cluster primary ion beam (SF5+ or C8-) provides significant improvement in molecular ion yields and a reduction in beam-induced degradation of the analyte molecules. These characteristics of cluster bombardment, along with automated sample stage control and custom image analysis software are utilized to rapidly characterize the spatial distribution of trace explosive particles, narcotics and inkjet-printed microarrays on a variety of surfaces.

Depending on the amount of vapor loaded on the cantilever, TNT desorption took a few minutes to tens of minutes (for nanogram quantities). On the other hand, no significant loss of PETN or RDX was observed after many hours. We also measured desorption of common “nonexplosive” compounds (water, acetone, and ethyl alcohol) and observed that desorption was too fast to be measured. There is a good correlation between the desorption time and the melting point (or the vapor pressure) of a particular substance. In principle, this method can be used to measure desorption rates of various substances from cantilever surfaces.

AB - Critical to meeting the needs arising from the government's evolving role in our nation's security is a broader understanding of how to guide, and even change, the interaction between science practice and science policy. To meet these goals, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has embarked on a strategic research effort to investigate the psychological processes that underlie performance of the security screener. The purpose of this special section is to bring together scientists, funded by this TSA program, who discuss their research findings and its implications for national security.

AB - In this paper we discuss some of the broader research issues surrounding science and society and how to potentially conceptualize some of the research policy decisions related to national security. We describe recent publications on science policy and the practice of science and how it is that the scientific and policy communities must recognize that fundamental scientific research and applied research are not mutually exclusive. We discuss how the framework of use-inspired basic research fits well with current needs associated with science and security and how it is that policy can be devised to support efforts that simultaneously pursue theoretical and practical goals.

T1 - Major ions and radionuclides in aerosol particles from the South Pole during ISCAT-2000 JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2004/10/08/ VL - 38 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 5473 EP - 5484 SN - 13522310 AB - As part of ISCAT 2000, bulk, high-volume, aerosol samples were collected at the South Pole (SP) nominally over 24-h intervals, and they were analyzed for major ions, several trace elements, and three naturally occurring radionuclides. The mean concentrations of Na (<17 ng m-3), sulfate (98 ng m-3), and methanesulfonate (MSA, 4.4 ng m-3) all were lower in ISCAT 2000 compared with ISCAT 1998, suggesting weaker marine influences during the latter study. In contrast, the 210Pb activity (0.20 mBq m-3) was more than two-times higher in ISCAT 2000 than in 1998, and nitrate concentrations (150 ng m-3) were approximately four-times higher, suggesting stronger continental influences in the second study. These differences between experiments are consistent with an analysis of meteorological transport and exchange. 7Be activities were generally comparable for ISCAT-1998 and 2000, suggesting that there were, on average, similar upper tropospheric/lower stratospheric influences on surface air during the two experiments: long-term records of 7Be, however, show pronounced annual and lower-frequency cycles. The concentration ratios of MSA to nss-sulfate (R) were similar in the two campaigns, and a regression analysis suggests that a non-biogenic source or sources account for up to ∼30% of the nonsea-salt sulfate. Various possible explanations for the low values of R (=0.08) relative to other Antarctic sites are discussed, including differences in R due to where the oxidation of DMS takes place (that is, in the marine boundary layer or in the buffer layer/free troposphere), chemical fractionation during transport, and the transport of sulfur compounds from lower latitudes and possibly from Mt. Erebus.

The sensor is able to detect vapors from the plastic explosives pentaerythritol tetranitrate and hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine at levels below 10 parts per trillion within few seconds of exposure under ambient conditions. A differential measurement technique has yielded a rugged sensor that is unaffected by vibration and is able to function as a “sniffer.” The microelectromechanical system sensor design allows for the incorporation of hundreds of microcantilevers with suitable coatings in order to achieve sufficient selectivity in the future, and thus could provide an inexpensive, unique platform for the detection of chemical, biological, and explosive materials.

Specially trained canine units patrolling busy U.S. ports are some of the Coast Guard's newest weapons in the 21st-century war on terrorism. The key to successfully combating maritime terrorism is maritime domain awareness (MDA): complete knowledge of which ships are on the ocean and of the people and cargo aboard them. High Interest Vehicles (HIVs) require differing levels of scrutiny by the Coast Guard, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Customs Service, and oftentimes counterpart agencies in other nations. Dogs are especially useful for searching large HIVs (including cruise and container ships) because of the many sizeable areas where explosives, terrorists, and terrorist-related materials can be hidden.

The data cover over twelve decades of neutron energy, from meV to GeV. An expression to scale the flux to other locations has been developed from a fit to the altitude dependence of our measurements and an expression from the literature for the geomagnetic and solar-activity dependence of neutron monitor rates. In addition, an analytic expression is provided which fits the neutron spectrum above about 0.4 MeV. The neutron flux is important for estimating the soft-error rate in computer memories and recent computer logic devices.

The Terrorism Knowledge Base (TKB), a database run by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, is one of the Web's best terrorism resources. The French-language Web site of Switzerland-based TerrorWatch contains the most comprehensive list of terror organizations across the globe. The Search for International Terrorist Entities Institute (SITE) is an independent organization that tracks and analyzes terrorists and their supporters.

Waliguan, by the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) Station, Qinghai Province is presented. The data were analyzed together with simultaneously measured surface ozone concentrations. We found that short time variations of 7Be and 210Pb were linked to alternations of synoptic weather around the Mt. Waliguan region. 210Pb showed the lowest . 7 concentration in summer while Be showed no obvious seasonal changes. Relatively high 7Be and 210Pb radioactivity was observed at Mt. Waliguan when compared with the observations at other mountain sites in other parts of the world. Surface ozone and 7Be showed a consistent seasonal variation. Surface ozone correlated fairly well with 7Be/210Pb ratio. This suggested that vertical transport from higher altitudes of the atmosphere has predominant effects on the budget of surface ozone at Mt. Waliguan.

AB - The effects of anxiety on concept acquisition were evaluated for first and second grade children enrolled in either a traditional or in an individualized or multiage learning program, the latter specifically designed to reduce anxiety during the learning process. Regardless of their learning environment, first graders who scored high on trait anxiety, measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, performed more poorly than those with low trait anxiety. Individualized-multiage second grade children scored lower on state anxiety than children in the traditional group. The largest reduction in anxiety occurred at the second grade, suggesting that anxiety reduction was cumulative for the individualized-multiage program children during the first two years of their primary grade education. However, the individualized- multiage environment was detrimental to performance of second graders on the easier concrete concept acquisition test, suggesting that some anxiety is needed during learning to enhance attention and facilitate performance.

To collect data, a request for participation in the study was sent out over the listserv of the U.S. Public Health Service's Nursing Professional Advisory Committee. The data were collected from the 106 respondents of which 93 were female and 13 were male nurses. The Work Excitement Tool was used to measure work excitement. The study demonstrated that the three dimensions of burnout, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, were correlated with work excitement. It was noticed that emotional exhaustion and depersonalization have an inverse correlation with work excitement. Personal accomplishment has reflected a direct correlation with work excitement. The work excitement score and level of personal accomplishment move together. This suggests that burnout may be a function of work excitement; that is, an individual's level of work excitement influences his or her level of burnout.

AB - This article presents the results of 2 studies that examine the effect of presenting a warning of response verification by others on the relationship between measures of personality and cognitive ability. In both a field study and a laboratory study, stronger correlations were generally found between measures of personality and cognitive ability when a warning of verification was present. The results from the studies also showed that the warning of verification was associated with slower item response latencies for certain personality scales, suggesting that exposure to the warning increased the complexity of the response decision. Results are discussed in terms of the effects of altering test instructions on the construct validity of personality measures used in applied settings.

The system utilizes the LAPC to measure the L X-ray triplet emitted in the decay of238Pu at energies of 13.6, 17.13, and 20.29 keV. The LAPC has dimensions of 16.5'70.5'5.9 cm3(L'W'H) and is filled with a mixture of 90% xenon and 10% methane at a pressure of 0.15 MPa. The detector has a thin (0.025 cm) beryllium window and aluminum support grid with an effective area of 850 cm2. The detector was calibrated for efficiency via semi-empirical methodology consisting of measurements with International Atomic Energy Agency and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable sources combined with fluence rate calculations using Monte Carlo and point-kernel modeling scenarios. The detector efficiency was then empirically measured using NIST traceable soil standards, and the results were compared with the semi-empirical modeled value. Operational performance characteristics including detector field of view, lower limit of detection, and energy resolution of the system were also determined through a series of controlled measurements. The LAPC and associated electronics are mounted on a pushcart with a computer and global positioning system to allow for real-time surveying and mapping of potentially contaminated land areas and detecting238Pu contamination at concentrations of 1.9 Bq/g of soil. The system, measurement methods, and results are presented and discussed.

AB - The study was implemented to assist the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in designing a rational chlamydial and gonococcal screening protocol for female inmates based on prevalence of infection. Surveys were administered and urine and swab specimens collected from study participants. At the prison where women were screened at entry, 1.2% tested positive for CT and 0.3% tested positive for GC. At the prison where women were not screened, 2.3% were positive for CT; no GC cases were identified. At this site, young age (18-22 years) was the most important factor associated with infection (RR 6.4), where a prevalence of 8.5% was found. Prevalence among women age 30 and younger exceeded 3.5%. Screening women age 30 and younger would identify more than 60% of cases at an estimated cost of less than $60,000 per year at this site. It is recommended that women 30 years of age and younger be screened at intake for chlamydial infection at federal prisons.

JO - Academy of Management Executive JF - Academy of Management Executive Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 19 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 147 PB - Academy of Management SN - 10795545 AB - We often lament that certain individuals at work simply "don't seem to get it," and therefore it is very difficult to get them to change. While everybody else may see a co-worker's incompetence, the employee is clueless about his or her serious development need. It may not be enough to provide feedback to this type of employee and hope that performance will improve. However, ignoring feedback has serious consequences for both the individual and the organization. Based on Hanna's individual change model from the therapeutic literature, we argue that individual and organizational factors, or precursors, enhance the speed of individual change in response to feedback. The individual precursors increase the likelihood that an employee will change in response to performance feedback, while the organizational precursors reflect how an organization's environment supports and rewards individual change. Individual change will occur more quickly and effectively to the extent that these precursors are present. This paper describes the precursors, provides a tool that managers can use to assess the precursors, and presents a case example to illustrate these points.

The quality of water from shallow domestic wells potentially vulnerable to seepage from septic systems was evaluated by analyzing for the presence of tracers and multiple isotopes. Samples were collected from 26 sand-point and perforated, cased domestic wells and were analyzed for bacteria, coliphages, nitrogen species, nitrogen and boron isotopes, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), prescription and nonprescription drugs, or organic waste water contaminants. At least 13 of the 26 domestic well samples showed some evidence of septic system effects based on the results of several tracers including DOC, coliphages, NH4+, NO3−, N2,δ15N[NO3−] and boron isotopes, and antibiotics and other drugs. Sand-point wells within 30 m of a septic system and<14 m deep in a shallow, thin aquifer had the most tracers detected and the highest values, indicating the greatest vulnerability to contamination from septic waste.

SN - 14613557 AB - The policing of critical incident scenes, including natural disasters, hazardous materials spills, hostage situations, and terrorist attacks, has become an especially salient topic in the post-September 11 environment. Given the attention-grabbing nature of these events, police administrators are often faced with the task of building and maintaining relationships with members of the media at these scenes, primarily reporters and their crews who often pursue goals that are in direct conflict with those of law enforcement. This article examines the issues related to police-media relations at critical incident scenes using interview data from subjects involved in policing the scene of the Oklahoma City bombing and the related trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. These interviews provide a context for the presentation of guidelines important to police administrators who must be able to forge successful relationships with the media at critical incidents.

JO - Chinese Science Bulletin JF - Chinese Science Bulletin Y1 - 2005/08/15/ VL - 50 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1750 EP - 1755 SN - 10016538 AB - A better understanding of the variation of 210Pb concentrations in the surface air is the key to trace lake sedimentation and catchment erosion, to establish and validate the global diffusion model of contaminants, and to assess the impact of natural radiation on the ecological system. Basing on the study progresses of the sedimentation, the atmospheric model and the unique environmental background in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and starting from December 20, 2001, we made use of a 500 NE Type aerosol sampler to collect filter samples, once a week in the past consecutive two years, in the surface air at Mt. Guanfeng, Guiyang City, China. Synchronous detailed γ-energy spectrometric observations of 210Pb concentrations at both Chinese and U.S. laboratories have shown that the average monthly 210Pb concentration displays a regular U-patterns distribution of annual variations, with high values appearing in winter and low values in late spring and summer. The average annual 210Pb concentrations are estimated to be 2.77±0.63 mBq/m³, about 4 times the average maximum concentrations reported from quite a number of monitoring stations throughout the world. The possible factors affecting the sources of 210Pb in the surface air in the central part of Guizhou Province are: Release of 222Rn from the U-Ra series enriched in the soils; chemical weathering of carbonate rocks; the exploitation, processing and utilization of coal and phosphorous resources. The principal factor controlling the high 210Pb concentrations in the surface air in the central Guizhou and their annual U-pattern distribution is the release of 222Rn. The average monthly 210Pb concentrations show a good negative power-function relationship with increasing precipitation and also show a good negative linear-function relationship with the rise of air temperature in month grouping. Group No.1 (June to November) reflects a relatively low release of 222Rn from soils in relatively high temperature seasons; Group No.2 (December to May) mirrors a relatively high release of 222Rn from soils in relatively low temperature seasons. The average monthly 210Pb concentrations simulated in terms of the precipitation and air temperature are in good consistency with the measured values, revealing that the regular U-pattern distribution characteristics of 210Pb concentrations in the surface air in the central Guizhou are controlled predominantly by regional precipitation and air temperature. Meanwhile, it is also indicated that the magnitude of variation of air temperature and precipitation within the same year also constrains the ratio of high values over low values of average monthly 210Pb concentrations. On a month time scale, precipitation and air temperature are a main factor affecting the release of 222Rn from soils (rocks). In this aspect strong evidence has been obtained.

Because of recent terrorist activities and intelligence information, there is strong sentiment that it is not a question of if, but when, a radiological or nuclear terrorist attack will occur. As a result, there is considerable concern that the federal government may not be adequately prepared to respond to an attack involving a radiological dispersal device or improvised nuclear device. In response to these concerns, federal departments and agencies have initiated actions to develop a better understanding of the magnitude of the radiological/nuclear terrorist threat, assess the ability of the federal government to support state and local responses to such attacks, and improve the Nation's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from these types of attacks. In an era of limited fiscal growth and competing priorities, the federal government will have to enhance its collaboration with state and local governments, the private sector, and academia to ensure that the Nation is capable of responding to a terrorist attack involving radioactive or nuclear material.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2005/11// VL - 89 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 582 SN - 00179078 AB - Cleanup following a terrorism incident involving a radiological dispersal device (RDD) or improvised nuclear device (IND) is likely to be technically challenging, costly, and politically charged. Lessons learned from the Top Officials 2 exercise and the increased threat of terrorist use of an RDD or IND have driven federal officials to push for an agreed-upon process for determining appropriate cleanup levels. State and local authorities generally have the ultimate responsibility for final public health decisions in their jurisdictions. In response to terrorist attacks, local authorities are likely to request federal assistance in assessing the risk and establishing appropriate cleanup levels. It is realistic to expect local and state requests for significant federal assistance in planning and implementing recovery operations. State and local authorities may desire "shared accountability" with the federal government in setting the appropriate cleanup levels. Government officials at all levels will face pressure to say how clean is clean enough and how quickly people can re-enter affected areas. Issues arising include (1) the nature of the relationship between the federal, state, and local leadership involved in the recovery efforts and (2) where the funding for recovery comes from. Many agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have long been involved in cleanup activities involving radioactive materials. These agencies have recognized the need for a participatory process and realize the need to remain flexible when faced with possible unprecedented environmental challenges following a terrorist attack. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security has a committee process underway, with participation of the EPA, NRC, DOE, and other federal agencies, to try to resolve these issues and to begin engaging state, local, and tribal governments, and others as appropriate.

The 1980s and early 1990s saw a reversal of this pattern. This article provides information on the gender ratio of immigrants in recent years and analyzes how elements of U.S. immigration law favor one gender or the other. The number of marriages between U.S. citizens or legal residents and non-citizens is highlighted as the dynamic factor determining the trend and proportion of male and female immigrants.

SN - 00496979 AB - We simulated the global transport of dust emitted from all major dust source regions on earth by using a global three-dimensional chemical transport model for the year 2000. A modified dust emission flux scheme and an advanced nonlocal diffusion scheme for accurately determining the atmospheric eddy diffusivity in the atmospheric boundary layer were implemented to improve the chemical transport model. We specifically examined and analyzed dust storms that occurred in China and northern Africa. Four scenarios representing the global transport of dust from dust storms originating in the Loess region and the Gobi, Takla Makan, and Sahara deserts, respectively, were simulated. The results of each scenario were then compared with those resulting from all major dust source regions on earth, to identify which deserts have a major impact on dust transport and its deposition in Japan. The dust from the Sahara desert, most from the western part that was found in this study, reached Japan in 9–10 days, while Gobi and Loess region dust took 2 to 3 days, and 4 days for Takla Makan dust. The model-calculated monthly total deposition of dust mass from all major dust source regions was compared with comprehensive measurements of total deposition collected at sampling stations distributed over Japan, and good agreement was generally found. From these analyses, it was also indicated that dust emitted from other deserts, including the Turkestan, Iranian, and Arabian, could have a significant impact on dust deposition on Japan.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss and illustrate through case study, the importance of public and private sector partnership in combating terrorist financing and other financial crimes. Design/methodology/approach – Two case studies are presented demonstrating how the public and private sectors can collaboratively work to target how criminal organizations earn, move and store their illicit profits. Highlighted is US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) outreach and partnership program, Cornerstone. Through working partnerships with US financial, trade, manufacturing and transportation sectors, Cornerstone's goal is to eliminate systemic vulnerabilities that could be exploited by terrorist and other criminal organizations. Findings – ICE provides the private sector with information on trends, patterns, and "red flag" indicators that are identified during criminal investigations. This information can be used by the private sector to assist in establishment of internal controls and systems designed to protect their institutions from criminal exploitation. Practical implications – Sharing identified vulnerabilities and information with trusted private sector partners, is the first line of defense against financial crimes, and the cornerstone of private/public partnership. Originality/value – The paper stresses that all nations must recognize that any criminal act – whether driven by profit or ideology – threatens a nations economic security and integrity. In today's global economy, this impact can have devastating consequences transcending many borders.

Shewanella oneidensis DSP10 in growth medium with lactate and buffered ferricyanide solutions were used as the anolyte and catholyte, respectively. Maximum power densities of 24 and 10 mW/m² were measured using the true surface areas of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) and graphite felt (GF) electrodes without the addition of exogenous mediators in the anolyte. Current densities at maximum power were measured as 44 and 20 mA/m² for RVC and GF, while short circuit current densities reached 32 mA/m² for ISF anodes and 100 mA/m² for RVC. When the power density for GF was calculated using the cross sectional area of the device or the volume of the anode chamber, we found values (3 W/m², 500 W/m³) similar to the maxima reported in the literature. The addition of electron mediators resulted in current and power increases of 30–100%. These power densities were surprisingly high considering a pure S. oneidensis culture was used. We found that the short diffusion lengths and high surface-area-to-chamber volume ratio utilized in the mini-MFC enhanced power density when compared to output from similar macroscopic MFCs.

David Paulison. When asked about the level of response FEMA prepared for Hurricane Katrina, Paulison said FEMA had response plans and resources dedicated to this hurricane before it made landfall. In response to a question on unique problems, unanticipated issues, and circumstances FEMA encountered, Paulison said the large and stranded population in the Superdome was a good example of a few of the things FEMA had not expected.

JO - Journal of Economic Entomology JF - Journal of Economic Entomology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 99 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 664 EP - 670 SN - 00220493 AB - Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky, an Asian cerambicid beetle, was first found in the United States in 1996 and was likely introduced into the United States through infested wood packing materials and dunnage. Methyl bromide (MeBr) fumigation is an internationally accepted treatment for such wood-boring beetles, but the use of MeBr is scheduled for reduction or elimination as alternatives become available. The use of MeBr can be reduced by more efficient and technically sound fumigation techniques, including good circulation and proper loading. Concentration × time products (C×T) reported for A. glabripennis in solid wood timbers were used to test estimated doses in container fumigations conducted in Tianjin and Shanghai, China, during years 2002–2003. We found that C×T products observed were generally adequate and would support reduced doses of MeBr at temperatures intermediate (10.0 and 15.6°C) to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service schedule of 80 g and 48 g/m³ at ≥4.4 and ≥21.1°C, respectively. The use of fans is recommended, and loading of the containers should never reach 100% to allow for better circulation and desorption. Proper use of fans will allow for better aeration and increase safety to inspectors and consignees of containerized fumigated commodities.

Although these two species share a high degree of homology at the DNA level (>90%), they differ radically in their pathogenicity and transmission. In this review, we briefly outline the known virulence factors that differentiate these two species and emphasize genetic studies that have been conducted comparing Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis. These comparisons have led to a better understanding of the genetic contributions to the differences in the virulence and pathogenicity between these two organisms and have generated information that can be applied in future diagnostic and vaccine development. Comparison of the genetic differences between Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis has also lent insight into the emergence of acute pathogens from organisms causing milder diseases.

Resistivity anisotropy of the samples increased with shock pressure. The highest- and medium-pressure applied samples had finite resistivities in the radial direction for the whole temperature range down to 12K, whereas their axial and azimuthal resistivities dropped to zero at 32–35K. By contrast, the lowest-pressure applied sample was approximately isotropic with a normal-state resistivity of ∼40μΩcm, an onset temperature of ∼38.5K, and a transition width of ∼4.5K. These extremely anisotropic properties would have resulted from the distortion of grain boundaries and grain cores, caused by the shock pressures and their repeated bouncing.

The radiation dose received by response workers and members of the public is needed to understand health risks. The existing framework for dosimetry of routinely occupationally exposed workers is not directly applicable to all emergency workers who would respond to a radiological terrorist event. Emergency preparedness plans incorporate various old and new dosimetry technologies, including quartz fibre electrets, electronic dosemeters, personnel badges and wallet cards. Environmental monitoring and dose calculations are the usual methods for determining public dose. However, during the late-phase response, after removable contamination has been eliminated, it may be easier and more straightforward to provide individual dosimetry for members of the public who may be moving through a city with varying contamination areas. Doing so could allow resumption of normal activities earlier and promote confidence in reusing the site.

JO - Conference Papers -- International Studies Association JF - Conference Papers -- International Studies Association Y1 - 2007///2007 Annual Meeting M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 23 AB - As a rising, regional, and very influential power, China is in the process of buttressing its military forces in the Pacific rim. Realist theory predicts a growing regional and international power, such as China, will more likely be propelled to attain regional hegemony. As the only superpower today, however, the United States will hardly relinquish its naval dominance in the Pacific. The balancing act Washington must pursue?in order to create a successful counterbalance against potential Chinese naval hostility?is to strengthen ties with United States allies in the Pacific region who may not feel comfortable with Beijing?s military presence expanding throughout the Pacific rim. Washington has recently begun to strengthen its military ties with Tokyo, and has started to encourage Japan to invest more in its military infrastructure. Japan, leery of its uneasy relationship with China, has made overtures to Washington as well. The difficulty for the White House, however, lies in crafting a relationship with Japan that is not simply seen to be some sort of anti-Chinese bloc. While it may be tempting for some in the Pentagon to forge a military relationship with Japan built on the premise that China?s military rise is harmful to both U.S. and Japanese interests in the Pacific rim, this paper will argue that a stronger Washington?Tokyo bond should attempt to establish a more cooperative relationship with Beijing rather than try to contain China?s influence throughout the region, which, for all intents and purposes, is inevitable. Although establishing a cooperative relationship will not be easy among the United States, Japan, and China, it is certainly a crucial project that will require great perseverance in order to lay the foundations for a more prosperous relationship advantageous to all three nations, as well as to the rest of the world. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Conference Papers -- International Studies Association is the property of International Studies Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Interfaces JF - Interfaces Y1 - 2007/01//Jan/Feb2007 VL - 37 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 67 PB - INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research SN - 00922102 AB - The United States Commercial Aviation Partnership (USCAP), a group of government and industry stakeholders, combined several operations research methods in an analytical process and model that encompasses the US commercial aviation industry, including travelers, airlines, airports, airline and airport suppliers, government agencies, and travel and tourism entities. With input from these stakeholders, the model, combining system dynamics and econometrics, evaluates the effects of proposed security measures over 25 years. It enables all stakeholders to share a common understanding of these effects and helps government decision makers to improve security without undue and unforeseen operational and economic impact. The model uses linear and nonlinear programming, single and multivariate regression, system dynamics, econometrics, and Monte Carlo simulation. Since 2004, the government has considered the model results in determining policies for screening and credentialing airport employees, screening passengers and cargo, determining security staffing levels, and charging security fees. All participating stakeholders reviewed each analysis for acceptability. Based on the model's success, they envision extending its use to include nonsecurity policy issues. September 11, 2001, the day commercial airplanes became weapons of mass destruction, is personal to many of us and has changed our perspectives on our lives and our world. The official death toll in the attacks was 2,986, including the airline passengers and airline crew members, workers and visitors in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the police and firefighters, and the 19 hijackers. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted all flight operations at the nation's airports for the first time in US history and swiftly grounded the approximately 5,000 commercial aircraft that were in flight. Only military aircraft were flying over the US for the rest of that and the next few days. The events of that day left the airline industry and its supporting companies financially devastated.

This research examines the feasibility of identifying vapor-phase chemicals using a field-portable ATR-FT-IR spectrometer (TravelIR) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Two nerve agent simulants, diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) and di-methyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), and three sorbent polymers were evaluated. Each polymer was deposited as a thin film on the instrument's sampling interface to partition and concentrate the simulants from air samples prepared in Tedlar bags. The lowest vapor concentrations identified were 50 ppb (v/v) (DIMP) and 250 ppb (v/v) (DMMP). The ATR-FT-IR instrument demonstrated a linear response at concentrations of 1 ppm (v/v) and below. Increasing the sample exposure time, the sample air velocity, and the film thickness was demonstrated to increase the amount of analyte extracted from the air sample. This research demonstrates that it is feasible to use a portable ATR-FT-IR spectrometer with SPME sampling to detect and identify vapor-phase chemicals.

JO - Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine JF - Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 13 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 625 EP - 634 PB - Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. SN - 10755535 AB - Introduction: When directly exposed to various echinacea fractions, human leukocytes ex vivo are strongly stimulated to proliferate and to produce immunostimulation and inflammatory cytokines. A comparison of fractions containing lipoidal small molecules and high-molecular-weight water-soluble polysaccharides indicates that the latter are substantially more potent as immunostimulants. Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, E. angustifolia DC, and E. pallida (Nutt.), Nutt. extracts, and each plant part contain significantly potent constituents. Flow cytometric techniques were utilized. Objectives: This study was undertaken to determine whether flow cytometry could measure immunostimulant activity present in echinacea and, if so, which species produced more activity, which plant part was the most active, and whether the organic soluble or the aqueous extractables were more active. Ex vivo human clinical material was employed. Design: Echinacea extracts were analyzed using flow cytometric techniques. The immunostimulation assays were measured in triplicate. Methods: Samples dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were added to 200 μL of heparinized blood mixed with 50 μL of phosphate buffer, vortexed, and incubated to allow adequate time for immune-cell stimulation. Fifty (50) μL of the stimulated blood samples were added to each of a reagent cocktail consisting of 20 μL of CD4FITC/CD69PE/CD3PerCP expressed on the helper/inducer T-lymphocyte subset; CD8FITC/CD69/PE/ CD3PerCP expressed on the human suppresser/cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and on a subset of natural killer lymphocytes; CD19FITC/CD69PE/CD45PerCP expressed on B-lymphocytes; or CD56FITC/CD69PE/CD45PerCP expressed on NK lymphocytes. Four hundred and fifty (450) μL of 1 X FACS lysing solution was added and incubated in the dark (rt, 30 minutes) and then subjected to flow cytometric analysis. All reported readings are the average of several determinations. Positive controls consisted of phorbol myristyl acetate (PMA) (50 ng/mL), phytohemagglutinin (10 μg/mL), CD2/CD2R (positive activation control)(5 μL/250 μL of reaction), and negative controls consisted of dimethyl sulfoxide (2% in RPMI-1640), RPMI-1640 medium, and cyclosporin A (10 μg/mL). Results: The main immunostimulatory activity of echinacea resides in the water-soluble materials rather than the lipoidal small molecules. E. purpurea, E. Pallida, and E. angustifolia leaves, stems, flowering tops, and roots all produce substantial immunostimulatory activity. Conclusions: The use of flow cytometry demonstrates a link between the polysaccharides in echinacea and the biologic immunostimulatory effect that has therapeutic relevance, and strong evidence for this immunostimulant property is presented.

JO - Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing JF - Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 73 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 793 EP - 804 SN - 00991112 AB - Lidar data have become a major source of digital terrain information for use in many applications including hydraulic modeling and flood plane mapping. Based on established relationships between sampling intensity and error, nominal post-spacing likely contributes significantly to the error budget. Post-spacing is also a major cost factor during lidar data collection. This research presents methods for establishing a relationship between nominal post-spacing and its effects on hydraulic modeling for flood zone delineation. Lidar data collected at a low post-spacing (approximately 1 to 2 m) over a piedmont study area in North Carolina was systematically decimated to simulate datasets with sequentially higher post-spacing values. Using extensive first-order ground survey information, the accuracy of each DEM derived from these lidar datasets was assessed and reported. Hydraulic analyses were performed utilizing standard engineering practices and modeling software (HEC-RAS). All input variables were held constant in each model run except for the topographic information from the decimated lidar datasets. The results were compared to a hydraulic analysis performed on the undecimated reference dataset. The sensitivity of the primary model outputs to the variation in nominal post-spacing is reported. The results indicate that base flood elevation does not statistically change over the post-spacing values tested. Conversely, flood zone boundary mapping was found to be sensitive to variations in post-spacing.

EPR-Medical 2005, IAEA, Vienna, Austria] agencies have reviewed strategies for acute-phase biodosimetry. Consensus biodosimetric guidelines include: (a) clinical signs and symptoms, including peripheral blood counts, time to onset of nausea and vomiting and presence of impaired cognition and neurological deficits, (b) radioactivity assessment, (c) personal and area dosimetry, (d) cytogenetics, (e) in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and (f) other dosimetry approaches (i.e. blood protein assays, etc.). Emerging biodosimetric technologies may further refine triage and dose assessment strategies. However, guidance is needed regarding which biodosimetry techniques are most useful for different radiological scenarios and consensus protocols must be developed. The Local Organizing Committee for the Second International Conference on Biodosimetry and Seventh International Symposium on EPR Dosimetry and Applications (BiodosEPR-2006 Meeting) convened an Acute Dosimetry Consensus Committee composed of national and international experts to: (a) review the current literature for biodosimetry applications for acute-phase applications in radiological emergencies, (b) describe the strengths and weaknesses of each technique, (c) provide recommendations for the use of biodosimetry assays for selected defined radiation scenarios, and (d) develop protocols to apply these recommended biological dosimetry techniques with currently available supplies and equipment for first responders. The Acute Dosimetry Consensus Committee developed recommendations for use of a prioritized multiple-assay biodosimetric-based strategy, concluding that no single assay is sufficiently robust to address all of the potential radiation scenarios including management of mass casualties and diagnosis for early medical treatment. These recommendations may be used by first responders/first receivers that span time-windows of (i.e. 0–5 days) after the radiological incident for three radiological scenarios including: (a) radiation exposure device (RED), (b) radiological dispersal device (RDD), and (c) an improvised (or otherwise acquired) nuclear device (IND). Consensus protocols for various bioassays (i.e. signs and symptoms recording, bioassay sampling for radioactivity analysis, nail-clipping sampling for EPR analysis and blood collection for hematology, cytogenetics, and blood chemistry analyses) are presented as Appendix materials. As stated in NCRP Commentary No. 19 [NCRP, 2005. Key elements of preparing emergency responders for nuclear and radiological terrorism. NCRP Commentary No. 19, Bethesda, Maryland, USA], multi-parameter triage (i.e. time to vomiting, lymphocyte kinetics, and other biodosimetry indicators) offers the current best strategy for early assessment of absorbed dose.

They compare the common definition of coastal counties (which includes watersheds along the coast and along the Great Lakes) with those of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the authors, FEMA normally uses 100-year floodplain and census block data to define coastal areas. He recommends this usage when dealing with sea level rise predictions.

The temptation to assert one's self as an SME in the absence of actual expertise is great. As a consumer, where does one turn, how does one know who to believe, and where does one place trust? What constitutes an SME is explored using two methods of how SMEs are developed. The reader is guided through finding, selecting, and validating an SME. The identification of some obstacles in using SMEs is also addressed. The question, “Is your subject matter expert really an expert?” is answered.

To extend the literature, this study examined the relationship among cognition, impulsivity, and the incidence of program violations in a federal substance abuse treatment program. One hundred and twenty individuals entering a federal drug treatment program underwent a brief screening battery. Participants were administered the Trail Making Tests Parts A and B, Digit Symbol subtests, and the Jackson impulsivity tests. This study failed to find a relationship between cognition, impulsivity, and program violations. The study did, however, find a significant relationship between age and program violations. These findings suggest that being younger is a risk factor for program violations within the substance abuse treatment program.

Matters of trade, immigration and physical security collide as never before with transnational threats to security continuing to pose significant challenges to policymakers on both sides of the border. Even as the United States is making substantial investments in a Secure Border Initiative, public opinion is conflicted on immigration reform and the imperative for facilitated trade is powerful. These dynamics raise a host of questions about what the term “secure border” means now and can mean in the future. This paper explores the current state of governance along the U.S./Mexico border and considers the factors that will influence the future state of border control on the Southwest Border. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Conference Papers -- International Studies Association is the property of International Studies Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Corporate websites have become an important point of contact with customers for many companies. Service has been described as one of the most important attributes for online business to influence traffic and sales. However, more research is needed to understand how Web-based technological capabilities of services affect customer satisfaction. In this paper, we propose viewing the interface between online buyers and sellers through the lens of service management to identify possible determinants of online customer satisfaction. A company's website is considered its electronic service delivery system. We look at this electronic service delivery system from its process point of view. Our findings indicate that as the electronic service delivery system process improves, a customer's perception of the website's ease of use increases, leading to increased service value and perceived control over the process, which increases customer satisfaction. The research provides evidence that the technological capabilities embedded in the website processes are an important factor in determining service quality and ultimately online customer satisfaction.

Guanfeng site located at Guiyang, China. The monthly mean 210Pb concentrations in surface air exhibited a U-pattern with high values appearing in winter and low values in summer and early autumn. The annual mean of 210Pb concentrations in surface air was estimated to be 2.7 ± 0.6 mBq m−3, which was at least four times higher than the annual mean reported from a large number of monitoring stations located throughout the world. The amounts of enriched Uranium in soil at the region could significantly contribute a great deal of release of 222Rn that decay to 210Pb which gets attached to the atmospheric aerosols. The site was under the influence of a monsoon climate. The distribution of monthly mean of 210Pb concentrations in surface air correlates well with the reciprocal of monthly average of observed air temperature and rainfall. The partition coefficients of 210Pb between rain water-surface air in the winter and spring were larger than those in the summer and autumn. The type and duration of rain depending on season played key roles for the changes of partition coefficients, although the rain amount is important.

Enrichment cultures containing naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, or pyrene as a sole carbon and energy source were monitored by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to detect changes in the bacterial-community profile during enrichment and to determine whether the representative strains present were successfully cultured. The DGGE profiles of the final enrichments grown solely on naphthalene and pyrene showed no clear relationship with the site from which the inoculum was obtained. The enrichments grown solely on pyrene for two sample sites had >80% similarity, which suggests that common pyrene-degrading strains may be present in these sediments. The final enrichments grown on fluoranthene and phenanthrene remained diverse by site, suggesting that these strains may be influenced by environmental conditions. One hundred and one isolates were obtained, comprising representatives of the actinomycetes and alpha-, beta-, and gammaproteobacteria, including seven novel isolates with 16S rRNA gene sequences less than 98% similar to known strains. The ability to degrade multiple PAHs was demonstrated by mineralization of 14C-labeled substrate and growth in pure culture. This supports our hypothesis that a high diversity of bacterial strains with the ability to degrade multiple PAHs can be confirmed by the combined use of classical selective enrichment and molecular analyses. This large collection of diverse PAH-degrading strains provides a valuable resource for studies on mechanisms of PAH degradation and bioremediation.

The directorate executes its mission through three main programme areas: operational direction, command and control; operational teams; and operational planning. Based on lessons learned from years of disaster response experience, FEMA is now taking a more proactive and collaborative approach with its partners. This paper discusses how FEMA is placing a greater emphasis on response operations and strengthening capabilities across the full range of operational and support missions by comprehensively revamping its disaster operations model; enhancing its headquarters and regional operations centres; enhancing its headquarters and regional operational planning capabilities; and addressing catastrophic disaster planning and related critical preparedness issues.

A metal jet, typically observed in explosive welding is used in this technique. The behavior of metal jet is crucial to the design of pressure generator. The experimental observation was made by the collision of metal jet on a metal block surface. Many craters formed by the collision of metal jets on the surface of the metal block were observed. The craters were overlapped and distributed in a wide range. The diameter of the largest crater was 0.5 mm. The quantity of the discharged metal jets was found to be a function of the quantity of explosive. The total area of the craters is considered as proportional to the quantity of the discharged metal jets and the experimental conditions for the formation of large craters was investigated.

The language used by extremist leaders mimics the radical rhetoric of the last century. The use of the jargon of Western radicalism is not restricted to al-Qaeda or to other Sunni extremist groups. Indiscriminate violence is carried by Islamist radicalism on the legacy of revolutionary Marxism and fascism. Another trait borrowed by radical Islamism from revolutionary Western ideology is the elevation of rule of the ideologically correct man above the rule of law.

Though prior earthquake clearinghouses are small in comparison to what was needed in response to Hurricane Katrina, these seminal structures are germane to the establishment of our current model. On 3 September 2005, five days after Katrina wrought cataclysmic destruction along the Gulf Coast, FEMA and Louisiana State University personnel met to establish the LSU GIS Clearinghouse Cooperative (LGCC), a resource for centralization and dissemination of geospatial information related to Hurricane Katrina. Since its inception, the LGCC has developed into a working model for organization, dissemination, archiving and research regarding geospatial information in a disaster. This article outlines the formation of the LGCC, issues of data organization, and methods of data dissemination and archiving with an eye towards implementing the clearinghouse model as a standard resource for addressing geospatial data needs in disaster research and management.

AB - The South American Theft Groups (SATG) has developed into a transnational criminal network with profound effects on society—from individual victims, to entire industries and local economies. Primarily from Colombia, they continue to frustrate law enforcement with their skills in conducting crimes and eluding adjudication. Of further concern is the escalation of their violent attacks. A historical brief on Colombia and the exploitation of the documented intelligence of the SATG heretofore shed light on the manifestation of this criminal network. Furthermore, nexus between the SATG, paramilitaries, and narcotraffickers are asserted. Finally, exposure of their vulnerabilities is presented (the greatest of which is that most of the members are illegal aliens), and reasonable recommendations are offered for the deterrence of their future successes.

AB - Study Objectives: To investigate the effects of night work and sleep loss on a simulated luggage screening task (SLST) that mimicked the x-ray system used by airport luggage screeners. Design: We developed more than 5,800 unique simulated x-ray images of luggage organized into 31 stimulus sets of 200 bags each. 25% of each set contained either a gun or a knife with low or high target difficulty. The 200-bag stimuli sets were then run on software that simulates an x-ray screening system (SLST). Signal detection analysis was used to obtain measures of hit rate (HR), false alarm rate (FAR), threat detection accuracy (A), and response bias (BD). Setting: Experimental laboratory study Participants: 24 healthy nonprofessional volunteers (13 women, mean age ± SD = 29.9 ± 6.5 years). Interventions: Subjects performed the SLST every 2 h during a 5-day period that included a 35 h period of wakefulness that extended to night work and then another day work period after the night without sleep. Results: Threat detection accuracy A decreased significantly (P < 0.001) while FAR increased significantly (P < 0.001) during night work, while both A (P = 0.001) and HR decreased (P = 0.008) during day work following sleep loss. There were prominent time-on-task effects on response bias BD (P = 0.002) and response latency (P = 0.004), but accuracy A was unaffected. Both HR and FAR increased significantly with increasing study duration (both P < 0.001), while response latency decreased significantly (P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study provides the first systematic evidence that night work and sleep loss adversely affect the accuracy of detecting complex real world objects among high levels of background clutter. If the results can be replicated in professional screeners and real work environments, fatigue in luggage screening personnel may pose a threat for air traffic safety unless countermeasures for fatigue are deployed.

For example, while they are strongly supportive of tax cuts, Americans also want more government activism in a wide variety of areas. This certainly presents a challenge for public administrators and government since the means for fulfilling these desires of the citizens are far from readily apparent.

These proteins are involved in membrane re-arrangements resulting in the proliferation of cytoplasmic vesicles which serve as the sites of virus replication. Cells infected with a vector containing full-length 2B (Ad5-CI-A24-2B) had a significant increase in the number of cytoplasmic vesicles as compared to cells infected with the original vector or a vector containing full-length 2BC. Swine inoculated with Ad5-CI-A24-2B developed an enhanced FMDV-specific neutralizing antibody response as compared to animals inoculated with the original vector and showed no clinical signs of disease after challenge. In a second experiment animals vaccinated with Ad5-CI-A24-2B were not fully protected but had a more rapid and robust humoral response and two out of three pigs had delayed and less severe disease than animals in the other vaccinated groups. These results suggest that incorporation of the complete coding region of 2B into the vaccine enhances its potency and protective efficacy.

The cases were made that effective and timely exposure characterizations must be applied during responses to any disaster, whether terrorist, manmade, or natural in origin. The consistent application of exposure sciences across acute and chronic disaster timelines will assure that the most effective strategies are applied to collect the needed information to guide risk characterization and management approaches. Exposure sciences must be effectively applied across all phases of a disaster (defined as rescue, reentry, recovery, and rehabitation—the four Rs) to appropriately characterize risks and guide risk-mitigation approaches. Failure to adequately characterize and control hazardous exposures increases the likelihood of excess morbidity and mortality. Advancing the infrastructure and the technologies to collect the right exposure information before, during, and immediately after disasters would advance our ability to define risks and protect responders and the public better. The panel provided conclusions, recommendations, and next steps toward effective and timely integration of better exposure science into disaster preparedness, including the need for a subsequent workshop to facilitate this integration.

Accurate estimates of diagnostic specificity (Sp) are important when considering the implementation of surveillance for these agents. The purpose of this study was to estimate diagnostic Sp of a real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR assay developed for detection of FMDV in cattle and domestic swine and CSFV in domestic swine based on non-invasive specimen collection. One thousand and eighty-eight range beef cattle were sampled from thirteen geographic locations throughout Texas. One thousand and one hundred market hogs and cull sows were sampled. Results for both FMDV and CSFV were considered positive if amplification occurred at or before 40 PCR cycles, inconclusive between 40 and 45 cycles and negative otherwise. Ten cattle had nonspecific PCR amplifications for FMDV, but none were classified as positive and only one as inconclusive. Specificity (95% confidence interval) was estimated as 100% (99.7, 100). There were 19 nonspecific PCR amplifications for FMDV in sampled swine with 1 classified as positive, 6 as inconclusive, and 12 as negative. Specificity (95% confidence interval) was estimated as 99.9% (99.5, 100). There were 21 nonspecific PCR amplifications for CSFV, and 1 was classified as positive. Specificity (95% confidence interval) was estimated as 99.9% (99.5, 100). These assays have high Sp, but nonspecific PCR amplifications can occur.

Several examples of food contamination include Salmonella enterica serovar Saintpaul found in produce, Escherchia coli O157:H7 found in ground beef, and Listeria monocytogenes found in pre-cooked meat. Public attention regarding foodborne illnesses have prompted U.S. elected officials and consumer groups to demand food industry and regulatory agencies to prevent the consumption of contaminated food before it enters a home or restaurant. Topics include an explanation as to why no amount of testing can entirely prevent food contamination or ensure safe food, the problems facing food contamination testing, such as deciding what foods to test and when, and the financial considerations of testing food.

The caves studied were Cueva La Tuna (Cabo Rojo), Cueva de Malano (Sistema de Los Chorros, San Germán), and Cueva Viento (El Convento Cave-Spring System, Guayanilla-Peñuelas). The most conspicuous fungus by far was the zygomycete Circinella umbellata (Mucorales). Circinella umbellata dominated the bat guano incubation chambers (Petri dishes lined with sterile filter paper moistened with sterile water) at ambient laboratory conditions. Nineteen species of basidiomycetes (e.g., Ganoderma cf. resinaceum, Geastrum cf. minimum, Lepiota sp., Polyporus sp., Ramaria sp.) and three species of ascomycetes (Hypoxylon sp., Xylaria anisopleura, and X. kegeliana) were also recorded. They were found on soil, rotting leaves, bark and rotting wood, buried in bat guano located below natural skylights or sinkholes.

Page Count: 9. AB - To estimate the needs of Katrina evacuees and survivors early on, several organizations, such as the Kaiser Foundation and the Washington Post, conducted survey assessments. However, few surveys asked questions about dental health needs. Public health personnel living in Mississippi's special needs shelters reported a need for toothbrushes and toothpaste among shelter residents. Some shelter residents also asked for denture adhesive so they could eat, and some evacuees reported having lost their dentures while trying to evade the high winds and storm surge. A telephone survey of 47 shelter directors in Mississippi conducted during the second, third, and fourth weeks after the storm by researchers at Mississippi State University's Family and Children Research Unit found that the single greatest unmet need reported was oral health care, at 17%. In comparison, 9% of shelter directors reported children with unmet needs for health care and mental health care, and 4% reported a need for toiletries. To assess the impact of destruction on the dental care infrastructure of the affected regions, Mississippi's state dental director worked closely with the Mississippi Dental Association (MDA), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to obtain information. Initially, land-based communication was impossible due to downing of power and telephone lines. Mississippi Dental Association (MDA) staff members were able to reach some dental providers through personal cell phones to determine the status of their homes and practices. Some dentist's offices that could not be reached by telephone were visually inspected for damage by search and recovery teams with the cooperation of local emergency operations incident commands. Within days, the ADA was able to provide mapping with the location of dentist homes and offices in the affected areas, mapping that was then used to estimate the impact of damage based on severe wind and storm surge effects.

The 9/11 attack stands out as a particularly important event whose consequences need to be well understood. This study evaluates the macroeconomic impacts of the 9/11 attack on U.S. real GDP growth and the unemployment rate by examining how forecasts of these variables were revised after the attack occurred. By this approach, the immediate impact of the 9/11 attack was to reduce real GDP growth in 2001 by 0.5%, and to increase the unemployment rate by 0.11% (reduce employment by 598,000 jobs.) Results are robust to controlling for how economic forecasts typically change over the course of the forecasting horizon in normal and recession years. Impacts on 2002 outcomes are more difficult to identify. Forecasted real GDP growth in 2002 fell dramatically immediately after the 9/11 attack but then recovered fully. The recovery in the forecast could have been due to unforeseen responses that mitigated the impact of the attack, but it also could have been due to erroneous forecasting and a poor understanding of how the attack would impact the economy. The forecasted unemployment rate in 2002 rose sharply immediately after the 9/11 attack, but unlike real GDP growth, it never subsequently returned to a pre-9/11 level. Forecasters seemed to have anticipated the 2002 "jobless recovery" early in that year.

Many different detection and identification systems are available commercially and others have been or are being developed to meet government needs. For users to select the best system for their mission, a comparison of the performance of each system is needed. The comparison approach must simultaneously have enough granularity to distinguish important performance differences and be simple to interpret. Previous approaches have only considered technical performance. However, operational performance factors such as false alarm frequency, or "wrong" instrument responses which elicit the same operational response as the "right" answer are important as well. The new scoring approach presented here, simultaneously considers technical performance while factoring in operational factors which rely on an entity's concept of operations. Recent identification results from human portable radiation detection systems will be used to illustrate this approach.

PEM is being developed to support the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) as it analyzes, from a Red/Adversary perspective, gaps, seams and vulnerabilities of the global nuclear detection architecture. Another use is identifying how changes in threat capability impact the gaps, seams, and vulnerabilities. Possible follow-on uses include acquisition support, mission management, transformational research, and operations. This paper will provide an overview of PEM and a review of some notional output examples.

A total of 18 tests were conducted in this evaluation utilizing the equipment from three AES manufacturers (Ansul, FirePro, and Flame Guard). The systems were tested against the current International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) test protocol (MSC/Circ. 1007) for approving AES for machinery space applications. All three systems exhibited good capabilities against Class B fires but had difficulty extinguishing the Class A fires. As a result of these limited capabilities against Class A fires, none of the three systems successfully met the requirements of the IMO test protocol (as currently written). The conditions in the space produced by the discharge of the systems were also quantified during these tests (visibility, temperature, particle densities, and gas concentrations). Based on the results of these tests, a number of modifications to the procedures, instrumentation, and fire scenarios in the test protocol were recommended.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - In this paper we review and extend measures of political mobilization: the increasing extremity of beliefs, feelings, and behaviors in support of inter-group conflict. Building on previous research, we introduce the Activism and Radicalism Intention Scales (ARIS). The Activism Intention Scale assesses readiness to participate in legal and non-violent political action, whereas the Radicalism Intention Scale assesses readiness to participate in illegal or violent political action. In ad-hoc samples of U.S. and Ukrainian undergraduates, and in an Internet panel survey representative of the U.S. population, Activism and Radicalism intentions formed two correlated but distinguishable dimensions. The popular 'conveyor belt' metaphor of radicalization (implying that activism leads easily to radicalism and that most radicals emerge from activism) found only mixed support in our results. Discussion suggests the potential usefulness of the ARIS for learning about how individuals move from political attitudes and beliefs to political action, including political violence and terrorism.

Methods and Results: A selective media, cysteine heart agar with 9% chocolatized sheep blood, containing polymyxin B, amphotericin B, cyclohexamide, cefepime and vancomycin (CHAB-PACCV) was developed and evaluated for growth of Francisella spp. No differences were observed in recovered colony forming units (CFUs) for F. tularensis, F. novicida and F. philomiragia on CHAB-PACCV vs nonselective CHAB. Growth of non- Francisella species was inhibited on CHAB-PACCV. When environmental samples were cultured on CHAB and CHAB-PACCV, only CHAB-PACCV allowed isolation of Francisella spp. Three new Francisella strains were isolated directly from seawater and seaweed samples by culture on CHAB-PACCV. Conclusions: CHAB-PACCV can be used for direct isolation of Francisella spp from environmental samples. Significance and Impact of the Study: Francisella spp. show a close association with environmental sources. Future utilization of CHAB-PACCV for isolation of Francisella spp. directly from environmental samples should prove valuable for investigating outbreaks and human infections attributed to environmental exposure.
