T1  - Earthships: sustainable housing alternative
AN  - 954606093; 14079844
AB  - This paper critiques an obscure form of sustainable architecture that addresses many of the environmental, social and economic challenges facing humanity. It focuses on the work of architect, Michael Reynolds, who has been experimenting with radical house designs and construction techniques over the past three and half decades. He addresses pollution, climate change and resource depletion by the provision of self-sufficient, off-the-grid, ecological housing constructed substantially from 'waste' such as used car tyres and beverage containers. Passive heating and cooling, food production, water catchments, renewable energy, solar hot water, grey-water recycling and sewage treatment are all integrated into his designs, which he calls "Earthships - independent vessels - to sail on the seas of tomorrow".

T1  - Experiential Placements: Dissemination and Stakeholder Engagement for Curriculum Planning Action to Prepare Future Pharmacy Professionals
AN  - 815958628; EJ903914
AB  - Preparing graduates for the professions is increasingly recognised as involving a partnership approach to curriculum design, implementation and evaluation. Experiential placements play a critical role in developing discipline-specific knowledge and skills and also generic professional dispositions including relationships, communication, problem solving and creativity. This involves academics, workplace supervisors and students in being clear about the outcomes of the learning process and taking responsibility for various aspects. The "Experiential Placements in Pharmacy" research project was conducted during 2007 with the aim of documenting current practice in Australian university pharmacy school experiential placement programs. This paper describes collaborative work between researchers, university academics and practitioners to determine future directions for the project towards improved curriculum planning and developing graduated descriptors related to professional competency outcomes. We describe the approach used to disseminate research recommendations and to gain input into the project and give a brief outline of the eventual action which is being implemented to further improve curriculum planning for the experiential learning environment for Australian pharmacy students.

T1  - The Re-making of Indian Foreign Policy
AN  - 754038995; 201050581
AB  - The article examines the reasons for the absence of effective but informal networks in India that help make and remake a nation's foreign policy, generate domestic political consensus and win international support. As a rising India reconstructs its foreign policy, a small proto-network that defines its core principles is beginning to emerge. A foreign policy vanguard, however, is no substitute to a more broadly based and deeply rooted structure of decision making. As the new foreign policy network evolves, the International Relations (IR) community can claim its legitimate role in shaping India's new foreign policy. By shedding its old conformist trap, joining the vigorous public square at home and reconnecting with the world, India's IR community can set a new foreign policy direction for the nation and offer course corrections when needed.

T1  - A sport crisis typology: establishing a pathway for future research
AN  - 746296351; 12877431
AB  - One of the main sponsorship benefits sought by a firm is a positive effect on corporate image through the association of their brand with a sporting entity. Given the increasing incidence of crises in sport, it can be argued that the sponsorship decision may be viewed as a form of risk-taking behaviour. Drawing on the crisis management and public relations literature, this paper examines the utility of established models within the domain of sport marketing and sponsorship. Specific emphasis is given to definitional and future research issues pertaining to athlete-triggered crises. The need for research in this area is evident given the potential brand risk associated with sponsoring athletes or teams within crisis-prone sports and the limited attention on this issue in the current literature. This paper explores the relevance of some pertinent terms that are central to an established structured crisis typology such as crisis, transgression, faux pas and terrorism and concludes with a direction for future research.

T1  - Using a Concept Cartoon to Gain Insight into Children's Calculation Strategies
AN  - 742875454; EJ885812
AB  - Curriculum reform aimed at improving students' reasoning strategies for calculating was the focus of a research project in which the authors participated along with two school communities in regional Victoria. Another focus of the research was assisting teachers to gain insight into how their students approached calculations. This article explores one aspect of the research in which "concept cartoons" were introduced as an innovative way for gaining insight into children's strategies for addition calculations in a situation that begs for the use of mental strategies. A concept cartoon is a learning and teaching tool used primarily in science education to explore scientific concepts. However, the authors believe that concept cartoons also have great potential in mathematics education. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)

T1  - Assessing Children's Understanding of Length Measurement: A Focus on Three Key Concepts
AN  - 742873289; EJ885813
AB  - In this article, the author presents three different tasks that can be used to assess students' understanding of the concept of length. Three important measurement concepts for students to understand are transitive reasoning, use of identical units, and iteration. In any teaching and learning process it is important to acknowledge students' existing knowledge and focus teaching on moving students on from this point. Assessment tasks that provide insight into students' current understanding of, or misconceptions about, these concepts is, therefore, vitally important. The insights gained from these tasks can be used to inform future teaching and learning. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - Homework and Learning Mathematics
AN  - 742873235; EJ885810
AB  - In this article, the author reflects on the impact of homework on his children, and more generally about the value of homework as an educational activity. Putting aside the question as to whether this is in fact homework or just schoolwork done at home, the first fundamental question is whether homework is indeed useful and necessary in a students' education? The author believes that it is important that students engage in regular maintenance, and perhaps homework is a place for revision and reinforcement of previously-learned skills and techniques. He added that although many people would agree that it is a good thing to engage parents in their children's mathematical learning, the challenge is to find meaningful and manageable ways to achieve it. Three key factors in achieving this are finding appropriate tasks and activities, helping build parent confidence and engagement, and ensuring that parents and teachers have a shared agenda.

T1  - Making Numbers Your Friends: A Set of "Make This Number" Activities
AN  - 742873092; EJ885811
AB  - Fluency with basic number facts is vital for students' progress in mathematics. Not only does it contribute to students' facility with mental computation and algorithms, but an understanding of numbers and their properties builds a foundation for future mathematical work including algebra. There are many activities that can help students "make numbers their friends," so that every time students meet numbers, they know all about them, or, at least, start thinking about what they could find out about them. In this article, the author presents a series of similar activities that will build students' friendship with numbers and number properties. They are based, to some extent, on the classic number activity that used to be given at the start of the year in the 1970s and 1980s, in which students had to construct as many numbers as they could using only the digits from the current year.

Some assumptions underlying this aspect of the project are: (1) that teachers seeking a balanced curriculum choose to use a mix of types of tasks; (2) open-ended questions offer students and teachers opportunities for both creativity and different ways of thinking about mathematics; and (3) trialling exemplars of particular types of tasks, reflecting on the experience by writing a report, and reporting back to colleagues involves substantial teacher learning, and can form the basis of sustainable professional development. This article explains what is meant by content specific open-ended tasks, illustrates the ways that teachers wrote up trials of such tasks in their classrooms, and uses excerpts from teachers' reporting on their trials at meetings of project teachers from a cluster of nearby schools, to illustrate the type of teacher learning that resulted from this process.

T1  - Features of Generalising Tasks: Help or Hurdle to Expressing Generality?
AN  - 61862039; EJ853829
AB  - Pattern generalising problems offer a very rich context for exploring relationships among quantities, expressing generality and representing the same relationship in different ways. Selecting appropriate tasks for students to work on in class is by no means a straightforward process, but there are ways to handle it. This article aims to explore and discuss the features of generalising problems. This article sets out with two objectives: (1) to offer teachers a framework for considering the difficulty level of generalising problems in terms of task features, and (2) to raise issues for discussion on the possible influence the task features have on students' generalisation and reasoning.

T1  - Using Tool-Making to Contextualise Geometry: The Super-Size Protractor
AN  - 61861516; EJ853832
AB  - Engaging students with real-world activities can be effective in supporting the learning of mathematics, "whenever possible, real-world situations will provide a context for both introducing and applying geometric topics" (NCTM 1989). Tool making is a way to bring real-world mathematics into the classroom and using the tool is a way of taking classroom mathematics into the student's real-world. This article focuses on a student-constructed protractor. The pedagogical discussion is followed by detailed descriptions of the construction steps. These steps together with alternative constructions offer opportunities to explore deeper mathematics. The construction of the protractor requires the use of a range of techniques that provide context for geometry problems involving congruent triangles, properties of equilateral and isosceles triangles and parallel lines. The protractor is a measurement tool used in constructing and measuring angles and is a learning aid for the teaching and learning of trigonometry, similarity and the unit circle. The author describes two activities, Super-size Protractor and Unique Triangles, which provide a shared experience for future class discourse, and outlines the steps involved in the construction of the Super-size Protractor. As each step is presented, the mathematics of the construction and alternative construction procedures is made explicit and justified along with practical considerations. A list of ways in which the protractor maybe used is presented. (Contains 12 figures.)

T1  - Numerical Integration
AN  - 61861060; EJ853815
AB  - Senior secondary students cover numerical integration techniques in their mathematics courses. In particular, students would be familiar with the "midpoint rule," the elementary "trapezoidal rule" and "Simpson's rule." This article derives these techniques by methods which secondary students may not be familiar with and an approach that undergraduate students should be familiar with. Secondary students will also find interesting the "two-point Gauss rule," which is an extension of the trapezoidal rule. There are many applications of integral calculus and developing a deeper understanding of some of the numerical methods will increase understanding of the techniques. The methods chosen in this article have been investigated as secondary students will be familiar with their applications. However, secondary text books and teachers may not use the techniques covered in this article, and this alternate approach may increase the understanding of the importance and applications of the techniques, as well as increase an appreciation of the beauty of mathematics in general. The article also provides a detailed summary of the techniques that will be beneficial for undergraduate students. In this article the midpoint rule, the elementary trapezoidal rule, the two-point Gauss rule and Simpson's elementary rule are developed. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - Same Task, Different Paths: Catering for Student Diversity in the Mathematics Classroom
AN  - 61860697; EJ853838
AB  - Teachers do not want to have students simply marking time by completing tasks from which there is no new learning for them. Similarly, teachers do not want students struggling with tasks that are demoralisingly difficult. In one primary mathematics classroom, however, a teacher can expect to have a wide range in the levels of understanding of the students, some say as much as a five year span. So how do teachers deal effectively with the diversity of mathematical needs they find in their classrooms? In this article, the author discusses the importance of using rich mathematical tasks and describes how they can be adapted to cater for a diverse range of learners. She also provides examples of rich tasks and suggests that teachers need to source mathematically rich tasks that are easy to vary, know the range of ways in which their students may respond to these tasks, and plan for task variations to cater for those who require scaffolding and those who require extending.

T1  - Marina's Fish Shop: A Mathematically- and Technologically-Rich Lesson
AN  - 61859351; EJ853827
AB  - In early 2008 researchers from the University of Melbourne's "New Technologies for Teaching Mathematics" project created a lesson for the Year 10 students at their Victorian research schools. Two important goals of secondary school mathematics education are to build students' conceptual knowledge and to teach students to think mathematically. Mathematics education research supports the notion that seeing concepts represented in multiple ways both supports students' sense-making and enriches their learning. However the experience of working with multiple representations is not the same for experts and novices. The design of lessons must be carefully considered in order not to create excessive cognitive load for the learner. The study by the University of Melbourne team focused on one "lesson", designed to provide exemplars for lessons where new powerful, mathematically able integrated documents (Nspire) are used to support students' exploration of various representations of a given mathematical problem. Based on applications of quadratic functions, "Marina's Fish Shop" was designed as a capstone lesson utilising TI-Nspire CAS computer and handheld technology in exploring multiple representations of a mathematical problem set in a real world context. In this article, the authors provide a description of the problem setting and the six carefully guided student activities that formed the final product of that process: (1) observing variation; (2) calculating total area; (3) graphing the area function from data; (4) finding the minimum area from the graph; (5) finding the minimum area exactly; and (6) challenge: producing a general solution.

T1  - Using Mathematical Tasks Built around "Real" Contexts: Opportunities and Challenges for Teachers and Students
AN  - 61859282; EJ853837
AB  - In this article, the authors discuss the use by teachers of "Type 2 tasks" within the Task Types in Mathematics Learning (TTML) Project, i.e., those in which the mathematics is situated within a contextualised practical problem. It is argued that these kinds of tasks have great potential for challenging and engaging students, and showing how mathematics can help everyone to make sense of the world. The authors also discuss a major challenge for mathematics teachers generally, but particularly for those who take a problem solving approach to their teaching. The challenge is developing appropriate techniques and strategies needed in "pulling the lesson together." The authors hope that this discussion provides some food for thought in maximising the learning which emerges from worthwhile tasks. (Contains 6 figures.)

T1  - Finding the Area of a Trapezium: Theme and Variations
AN  - 61859238; EJ853828
AB  - An important message teachers convey to their students is that mathematics is founded on reasoning and is not just a collection of rules to apply. Many mathematical rules such as area formulas can be derived in ways that are age-appropriate to students, and it is an important part of mathematics education that students engage in these derivations to some extent. A review of several Australian Year 8 textbooks showed that they generally included the reasoning behind the area formulas (Stacey & Vincent, 2008). For the area of the trapezium, there was a surprising variety of methods. In this article, the authors illustrate five methods for finding the area of the trapezium, which many students will enjoy discovering these variations on a theme. The authors stress that, by exposing students to a variety of dissection methods and encouraging them to find their own variations, teachers promote flexible thinking, greater understanding and less reliance on memorised area formulas.

AN  - 61859047; EJ853818
AB  - This article is the second in a series of two papers which suggest some practical, spreadsheet-based ideas for helping students to make appropriate connections between particular algebraic concepts. Solving equations has traditionally been taught as a pen-and-paper process. Spreadsheets, such as that of Excel, provide a contemporary, and powerful context for the teaching of processes for the solution of equations. The author gives some examples, then discusses pen-and-paper methods for their solution, and subsequently revisits these examples using spreadsheets. (Contains 5 figures.)

T1  - A Family of Sequences
AN  - 61857584; EJ853817
AB  - Perhaps a business colleague threw out a challenge. The year: around 1200. The place: Pisa. The challenge: Calculate how many pairs of rabbits will be produced in a year, beginning with a single pair, if in every month each pair bears a new pair which becomes productive from the second month on. The question and its solution found its way into the book "Liber abaci" by Leonardo of Pisa (known as Fibonacci), completed in 1202. It gives rise to the Fibonacci sequence. A colleague of the author issued the challenge: Prove that the sum of the squares of any two consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence is a term of the sequence. In this article, the author gives a more general context in which the sum of consecutive squares property is true, and a surprising connection with Pythagorean triples.

AN  - 61857488; EJ853820
AB  - This article discusses the "BASICS" or "Building Accuracy and Speed In Core Skills" Mathematics Intervention Program which has been designed to enable students who are either low-achievers or have some form of learning disability, to attain real improvement and make the successful transition to core mathematics. The "BASICS" Intervention Program is novel in its balance and integration of the optimal aspects of instruction from direct, constructivist and contextually-based instruction designed to meet the specific needs of at-risk students. The specific focus of this program is to address the memory and recall difficulties and inability to approach, structure and solve problem-solving tasks experienced by at-risk students. In addition, the use of continuous diagnostic and formative assessment enable both teachers and students to develop positive relationships and improve student self-concept. The author describes the short-term and longer term aims of the "BASICS" Intervention Program and provides a brief outline and description of the key components of the program.

T1  - National Curriculum Development and Initial Reflections on the Mathematics Framing Paper
AN  - 61857392; EJ853821
AB  - The "National Mathematics Curriculum Framing Paper" has been released for consultation until 28 February 2009 (see www.ncb.org.au). Professional associations, teachers, teacher educators and others are taking the opportunity to organise meetings and forums to consider the views presented in the paper and to provide critical feedback and commentary on the proposed broad directions. The University of Sydney held a National Curriculum Symposium in December to bring together teachers, school system personnel, academics and representatives from the National Curriculum Board to have a "robust and broad ranging discussion" about the four framing papers released by the NCB: English, Mathematics, History and the Sciences. The program for the symposium began with a presentation by Professor Kerry Kennedy about his reflections on national curriculum in Australia over the last 30 years. This was followed by brief presentations by each of the authors of the framing papers. Discussion groups for each of the disciplines considered key questions about the papers with feedback from each group. Finally Rob Randall, the acting Director of the NCB commented on the challenges identified by the discussion groups. In this paper, the author summarises the comments and discussion about curriculum development in general and the "National Mathematics Curriculum Framing Paper" in particular.

AN  - 61855589; EJ853813
AB  - During the period 1729-1826 Bernoulli, Euler, Goldbach and Legendre developed expressions for defining and evaluating "n"! and the related gamma function. Expressions related to "n"! and the gamma function are a common feature in computer science and engineering applications. In the modern computer age people live in now, two common tests to determine improved power of new computers are finding new large prime numbers and calculating "n"! for larger values of "n". Therefore it is useful to know how quickly "n"! grows and what tight bounds exist. In this article, the authors discuss the translational bounds for factorial "n" and the factorial polynomial.

This article encourages teachers to budget time and money for a better balance between teaching how to use powerful computer tools and writing their own materials to meet the needs of their classes.

T1  - Putting a Classroom Spin on Invariance in Circles
AN  - 61855070; EJ853816
AB  - An old chestnut goes something like this. The surface area of a pond in the form of an annulus is required, but the only measurement possible is the length of the chord across the outer circumference and tangent to the inner circumference. It is a beautiful example of invariance. Invariance in mathematics usually refers to a quantity that remains unchanged despite changes to other attributes related to that quantity. In this example, one could start drawing right angled triangles from the common centre, and use a little algebra to find the surface area--but there is an easier way. Those familiar with this problem will know that for a fixed chord length, the inner and outer radii can vary without changing the area of the annulus. This means that one can reduce the inner radius to zero, so that the chord becomes a diameter of the outer circle. Therefore, the area of the annulus is the area of the circle with that diameter. This article puts a classroom spin on invariance in circles. (Contains 8 figures.)

T1  - Where Does the Formula Come from? Students Investigating Total Surface Areas of a Pyramid and Cone Using Models and Technology
AN  - 61854986; EJ853823
AB  - Spatial reasoning is a skill that needs to be developed in students as it is important in geometry for determining total surface areas and volumes of 3-dimensional shapes (Liedtke, 1995). Simply teaching children the formulae, in this case for finding total surface areas, can limit them in understanding mathematics conceptually (Bonotto, 2003). Helping students establish a relationship between the total surface area of a three-dimensional solid and the area of a two-dimensional net should help them in understanding total surface area conceptually. In this article, the author discusses the challenges pre-service secondary school teachers faced in trying to understand how to work out the surface areas of square and rectangular pyramids and a cone. The pitfalls of just giving students a formula to work with without involving them in learning where the formulas come from are presented. (Contains 11 figures and 2 footnotes.)

AN  - 61841324; EJ853836
AB  - Teachers and researchers work hard to discover the most effective ways of teaching mathematics in the primary classroom. When searching for new tasks to teach or ways to adapt a task to fit the class's profile, they often "phone a friend," drawing on the know-how and knowledge of colleagues and experts. Other articles in this issue attempt to provide that kind of lifeline by looking at ways teachers can create or adapt tasks so that they engage and challenge most students. Here the author wants to consider another important source of expertise, one that is easy to overlook. In this article, the author describes the ideal mathematics classroom from the students' points of view. (Contains 2 footnotes and 3 figures.)

T1  - Finding the Area of a Circle: Didactic Explanations in School Mathematics
AN  - 61834580; EJ859751
AB  - Learning about the area formulas provides many opportunities for students even at the beginning of junior secondary school to experience mathematical deduction. For example, in easy cases, students can put two triangles together to make a rectangle, and so deduce that the area of a triangle is half the area of a corresponding rectangle. They can dissect a trapezium and rearrange the pieces to make rectangles, parallelograms or rectangles and triangles, and so find the area of a trapezium from the area of other known shapes. The area of a circle, however, provides a new challenge. The curved edge poses a difficult mathematical problem, with an interesting history. In this article, the authors present several different explanations of the formula for the area of a circle, which have logically different status. Some are "light" versions of a proper mathematical proof, but others are not. However, they believe that they all have a role as didactic explanations in junior secondary mathematics. Explanations in school mathematics must do far more than "prove." The explanations were found in a survey of nine current Australian Year 8 textbooks. They saw a rich and interesting range of possibilities. In the sections below, they show some of the varieties of demonstrations found in their survey. (Contains 5 figures.)

T1  - Time for Talk: The Drawing-Telling Process
AN  - 61833842; EJ859518
AB  - When children start school, they bring with them a variety of background skills and informal knowledge that can enrich their learning of new concepts and ideas. A major tenet of many learning theories is that the more children are able to connect a new concept with their existing knowledge and understandings, the more they feel confident and able to engage actively in a new task. Such informal understandings can provide rich information for teachers but only if, and when, students have the opportunity to show what they know. Currently, there are a number of useful programs across educational sectors that assist teachers to identify children's mathematical ability as they enter their first year of school. Although the information gained from these early assessments is undeniably valuable, their focused nature means that they may not allow students to demonstrate the richness of their background knowledge. Also imperative for a balanced approach are forms of open-ended assessment that complement existing assessment processes by revealing additional information that may not be gained in a diagnostic interview. In classrooms, teachers are continually making decisions about students' knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts in order to plan relevant and meaningful learning activities. It makes sense for teachers to give students opportunities to show what they know in multiple ways. To do this effectively, teachers need to develop strategies for tapping into the ways in which their students are making meaning. This requires students to be able to represent their internal understanding in external ways. Eliciting students' drawings or work samples is one established way of representing internal understanding externally. However, current work related to multiliteracies emphasises the importance of giving students a variety of opportunities for making meaning using multi-modal methods. When a teacher begins a new topic in mathematics, for example, he or she is aware that the extent of students' prior knowledge will vary greatly depending on their social and cultural backgrounds. As a consequence, it seems important that teachers do not limit the ways in which students can represent what they know. In this article, the authors discuss how open-ended tasks can complement existing methods for identifying students' prior mathematical understanding. They describe how a combination of drawing and telling can help teachers better to discern and respond to students' developing understandings of clocks. (Contains 4 figures.)

In the last two years, the focus has been on improving the quantity and the quality of writing in mathematics. For the authors, "writing" meant using words, diagrams, symbols and graphs, either individually or in combination. Collaboratively, they explored what was already being done and how they could build on the existing strengths. In working with the teachers, the authors classified the strategies for working with the students around the Mathematics Register Acquisition (MRA) model. In this article, the authors discuss the four stages of the model--noticing, intake, integration, and output--and outline some of the strategies seen at these stages. (Contains 11 figures.)

T1  - Critical Numeracy and Abstraction: Percentages
AN  - 61833433; EJ855963
AB  - Being numerate involves using mathematical ideas efficiently to make sense of the world, which is much more than just being able to calculate. What is needed is the accurate interpretation of mathematical information and the ability to draw sound conclusions based on mathematical reasoning. This skill may be called "critical numeracy", defined as "being able to critique or make critical interpretations of mathematical information." There is a clear analogy with critical literacy, which involves the realisation that all texts represent different views of the world and requires students to go beyond acceptance to analysing and challenging. How should students be taught mathematics to develop critical numeracy? The traditional approach--sometimes called the "ABC method" because "A"bstract concepts and procedures are taught "B"efore "C"oncrete examples and applications--certainly seems inadequate. In the ABC method, "knowledge acquired in "context-free" circumstances is supposed to be available for general application in all contexts"--but research consistently shows that, in practice, this intention is rarely fulfilled. In this article, the authors describe an approach to teaching percent that puts contexts and application before abstract concepts and procedures. This approach, which the authors call "teaching for abstraction", is the reverse of the ABC method. (Contains 1 table and 6 figures.)

T1  - Improving Students' Attitudes to Chance with Games and Activities
AN  - 61831986; EJ859754
AB  - A study was undertaken to implement a series of chance games and activities in a Year 7 classroom, and investigate the students' knowledge about probability concepts, as well as their attitudes to chance. Initially, the project involved selecting a set of appropriate learning activities to develop key probability concepts which are integral to the probabilistic thinking framework by Jones, Thornton, Langrall & Tarr (1999). These were randomness, likelihood, sample space, experimental probability, theoretical probability, and independence. This article reports on the "attitudes" aspect of the project. The project investigated the extent to which the "attitudes-behaviour" cycle proposed in the theory of personal action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 2000) applied to students' learning of chance in the classroom. In particular, it was concerned with the strength of the link between learning experiences and attitudes, and with observing and reporting on any changes in attitudes that occurred during the project. Data on students' attitudes were collected before and after the set of learning episodes. The aspects of attitudes considered in the project were enjoyment, motivation, confidence, anxiety, and perceptions about the usefulness of learning about chance. Overall, there was evidence of an improvement in students' attitudes to chance, namely, greater enjoyment and motivation, increased perception of the usefulness of chance, and less anxiety, over the duration of the project.

T1  - Equivalence and Equations in Early Years Classrooms
AN  - 61831684; EJ855964
AB  - Early algebraic thinking in a primary context is not about introducing formal algebraic concepts into the classroom but involves reconsidering how one thinks about arithmetic. Early algebraic thinking assists young students to engage effectively with arithmetic in ways that support engagement with arithmetic structure rather than arithmetic as a tool for computation. The distinction between arithmetic thinking and algebraic thinking in the early years' context is best defined as: arithmetic thinking focuses on product (a focus on arithmetic as a computational tool) and algebraic thinking focuses on process (a focus on the structure of arithmetic). With regards to equivalence in the early years, there are four key areas that students should explore: (1) Developing the comparative language that assists in describing equivalent and non-equivalent situations; (2) Developing an understanding that equals means that the two expressions are equivalent; (3) Representing equations in a variety of different formats including equations with more than one number on the left hand side (e.g., 2 + 5 = 3 + 2 + 2 and 7 = 5 + 2); and (4) Using the "balance principle" to find unknowns. In this article, the authors explain these four areas and provide examples and suggestions on how young children can develop powerful understandings of equivalence and equations.

T1  - Building an Igloo: A Rich Source of Mathematics for Young Children
AN  - 61831111; EJ855967
AB  - Early childhood teachers know that children arrive at school with an enormous range of mathematical capabilities, but this is not always reflected in mathematics curricula that are offered. The diverse nature of the experiences young children have encountered before commencing school and their differing abilities to articulate their thoughts contribute to the diversity of informal mathematics that children have developed. Formal mathematics instruction should be grounded in young children's informal mathematical ideas. Teachers need to bridge young children's informal mathematical knowledge with the more formal mathematics required at school and to support the development of young children's higher order thinking and metacognitive skills. Providing appropriate tasks can make an important contribution to this end. This article describes the mathematics learning that arose from one such task in a Prep class (first compulsory year of schooling in Tasmania) with children aged 5-6 years. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1  - Scaffolding Students' Thinking in Mathematical Investigations
AN  - 61830853; EJ859519
AB  - Mathematical investigations are loosely-defined, engaging problem-solving tasks that allow students to ask their own questions, explore their own interests and set their own goals. The value of investigations for students lies in their complexity. Scaffolding plays an important role in supporting students' high-level engagement by encouraging divergent and creative thinking. Scaffolding is "a process that enables a child or novice to solve a problem, carry out a task or achieve a goal which would be beyond his (or her) unassisted efforts." Scaffolding provides the opportunity for students to develop their independence, sense-making and self-confidence whilst working mathematically. However it is incorrect to assume that all conversations between teachers and students amount to scaffolding because not all result in high-level thinking and reasoning in students. Understanding what is ineffective and why, is one way to improve teachers' pedagogical practice. This article describes some of the issues that teachers might encounter when scaffolding students' thinking during mathematical investigations. It describes four episodes in which a teacher's interactions with students failed to support their mathematical thinking and explores the reasons why the scaffolding was ineffective. As a background to these episodes, the authors first provide an overview of the mathematical investigation. The article concludes with some recommendations for scaffolding during investigations.

AB  - It is instructive and interesting to find hidden numbers by using different positional numeration systems. Most of the present guessing techniques use the binary system expressed as less-than, greater-than or present-absent type information. This article describes how, by employing four cards having integers 1-64 written in different colours, one can guess the secret number held by the player. This game can be used as a teaching aid for demonstrating base-4 representation of numbers or the concept of isomorphism. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - Cracking the NAPLAN Code: Numeracy and Literacy Demands
AN  - 61829756; EJ859516
AB  - In May 2008, the first National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test was administered across Australia to determine the standard of literacy and numeracy achievement of Australia's students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Some students did very well on the tests and some did not. This type of test can tell a great deal about students' learning. They also reveal a lot about what is likely to be happening (or not happening) in classrooms and across schools in terms of what students are being taught and exposed to. One particular concern that has been raised in relation to the items on the tests relates to the literacy demands inherent in understanding the requirements of the tasks. This article looks at the literacy demands of the numeracy tests and draws attention to the importance of explicit teaching of the literacy skills that allow students to access what is being assessed in the questions.

T1  - The Visual Side to Numeracy: Students' Sensemaking with Graphics
AN  - 61828736; EJ855965
AB  - The 21st century has placed increasing demand on individuals' proficiency with a wide array of visual representations, that is graphics. Hence, proficiency with visual tasks needs to be embedded across the curriculum. In mathematics, various graphics (e.g., maps, charts, number lines, graphs) are used as means of communication of mathematical ideas and also as tools for thinking about these ideas. Thus, to be numerate in contemporary society, all individuals need to make sense of the graphical aspects of mathematics. Although an understanding of representations is critical for numeracy, proficiency with graphics in mathematics is often overlooked. This article highlights the six key types of graphics used in mathematics and provides some suggestions for developing students' ability to interpret each of these types of graphics. As a background to the discussion on types of graphics, two roles of graphics are first discussed. (Contains 8 figures.)

T1  - Two Geo-Arithmetic Representations of n[superscript 3]: Sum of Hex Numbers
AN  - 61828662; EJ859753
AB  - Studies have shown that students' understanding is typically analytic and not visual. Two possible reasons for this are when the analytic mode, instead of the graphic mode, is most frequently used in instruction or, when students or teachers hold the belief that mathematics consists simply of skillful manipulation of symbols and numbers. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) states that: "Different representations support different ways of thinking about and manipulating mathematical objects. An object can be better understood when viewed through multiple lenses" (2000, p. 360). This article presents two ways of visualising a series in "proof without words" (PWW) style (Nelsen, 1993; 2000). The contention is not that one representation is superior to another, only that students often construct vastly different personal and idiosyncratic representations which lead to different understandings of a concept.

T1  - Licorice Production and Manufacturing: All-Sorts of Practical Applications for Statistics
AN  - 61828318; EJ859515
AB  - Among the practical applications of statistics is the collection of data from manufacturing processes. Often collected in the form of a time series, data collected from a series of measurements show the variation in those measurements, such as mass of a product manufactured. Limits are set for quality control and if these are exceeded then a decision is made about the process; perhaps it is halted and adjustments made to create a more uniform product over time. Having students experience the process that creates variable data provides a powerful foundation on which students can build an understanding of data and motivate statistical ways of interpreting those data. Particularly powerful are contexts that involve the repeated actioning of a process that generates objects. This type of process allows learners to experience the "creation of variation" and sets the stage for defining the measurements they want to collect and choosing the graphic representations of those data that reveal both the variability and the structure in those data. Although it might seem as if many students have thought little about the variability of such processes and expect uniformity in all measures, becoming involved in the process themselves could provide first-hand experience of the variability produced. The first part of this article describes an activity based on "manufacturing" licorice sticks from play dough which was carried out in Grade 1 and Grade 3 classrooms. The second part of the article details a professional development session carried out with 27 teachers to introduce them to the concept of variation in an environment suitable for upper primary and middle school students.

T1  - Crossing the Divide between Teacher Professionalism and National Testing in Middle School Mathematics
AN  - 61814582; EJ867333
AB  - Teacher professionalism is a social construct which varies across time and place. In relation to the teaching of mathematics in the middle school, professionalism is a concept under siege; with the advent of national testing some teachers predict dire consequences for student learning. In this small research project several teachers depicted their views of 'quality'in relation to the teaching of mathematics and potential threats from the coercive context in which they work. This article, reports and analyses four (4) teachers' views and practices of "quality" in relation to the teaching and learning of mathematics in the middle school. While these teachers felt comfortable in relation to their content knowledge and instructional practices, they felt their professional standing and student learning could be compromised by the enforcement of bureaucratic accountability agendas. The teachers felt these might cause divisions, cracks in their professionalism and pedagogical practices, with students' learning becoming the ultimate casualty.

T1  - Predicting Precipitation in Darwin: An Experiment with Markov Chains
AN  - 61811568; EJ867337
AB  - As teachers of first-year college mathematics and science students, the authors are constantly on the lookout for simple classroom exercises that improve their students' analytical and computational skills. In this article, the authors outline a project entitled "Predicting Precipitation in Darwin." In this project, students: (1) analyze and manipulate raw precipitation data; (2) build a prediction model using a Markov chain; (3) predict the long term distribution of precipitation-free and rainy days in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia; (4) use a chi-square test to evaluate the effectiveness of the model they have constructed; and (5) improve their prediction model. Beyond access to the Internet (to obtain the raw data) and a computer spreadsheet program or calculator, no special equipment is required. If the data is downloaded in advance, a well-prepared junior or senior high-school mathematics (or science) class should be able to perform this exercise in approximately 30-45 minutes of class time. (Contains 1 figure and 8 tables.)

AB  - In applied mathematics particularly, one is interested in modeling real life situations; that is why, one tries to express some actual phenomenon mathematically, and then uses mathematics to determine future outcomes. It may be that one actually wishes to change the future outcome. Mathematics will not do this, but at least it tells one what to expect. This article provides real life mathematical problems having to do with rabbit populations, radiation, bacteria, and food shortages.

T1  - Cracking the NAPLAN Code: Numeracy in Action
AN  - 61811285; EJ867334
AB  - In this paper, the author recommends that every teacher of mathematics should undertake an analysis using their own data. She further recommends that they reflect on the outcomes of their analysis and share it with colleagues. Teachers can look at an individual student's results, variations in results between student sub-groups in their classes, and student responses to questions from different strands. Following this, some reflection on current teaching of mathematics for numeracy attainment should be considered. A key focus of this reflection and discussion is to question whether students are being taught the deep understandings of mathematics concepts and the capacity, confidence and disposition to use them, or are they merely taught mathematics as a system of methods and procedures set in a relatively neutral context. If the latter, teachers and school leaders need to be aware that they are seriously at risk of not giving their students access to numeracy attainment. One cannot assume that students will make the connections between methods and procedures and the conceptual understandings needed for deep learning based on the fact that they've been taught the methods and procedures for finding answers.

T1  - An Ordinary but Surprisingly Powerful Theorem
AN  - 61811033; EJ867343
AB  - Being a mathematician, the author started to wonder if there are any theorems in mathematics that seem very ordinary on the outside, but when applied, have surprisingly far reaching consequences. The author thought about this and came up with the following unlikely candidate which follows immediately from the definition of the area of a rectangle as length multiplied by width. The author refers to this theorem as Ordinary Theorem (OT). In this article, the author illustrates this ordinary but powerful theorem, and describes how important this seemingly ordinary theorem really is. The author also shows a treasure trove hidden in this theorem that is of almost all the familiar theorems one learns in high school, some of whose proofs are elusive. The author ends this article by leaving a question for one to ponder, "Should the area of a right triangle be taught as a fundamental concept in high school?" (Contains 9 figures.)

T1  - Introducing Complex Numbers
AN  - 61810841; EJ867344
AB  - One of the difficulties in any teaching of mathematics is to bridge the divide between the abstract and the intuitive. Throughout school one encounters increasingly abstract notions, which are more and more difficult to relate to everyday experiences. This article examines a familiar approach to thinking about negative numbers, that is an intuitive approach with the aid of the number line. This article also presents a less complicated approach that is by extension to the number compass. An analogy used to introduce complex numbers in more or less the same way is presented.

AN  - 61810486; EJ867342
AB  - This paper presents an investigation by pre-service secondary school teachers in a geometry class of the relationship between the perpendicular distance from the eyeball to the wall (x) and the viewable vertical distance on the wall (y) using a view tube of constant length and diameter. In undertaking the investigation, students used tabular and graphical representations to determine the relationship. They also used a TI-84 calculator to investigate the relationship, and also modelled the scenario with the aid of "Geometer's Sketchpad" software. In this article, the author offers four reasons to use investigations and presents the first of three investigations posed to a group of preservice teachers in a geometry class for pre-service secondary school teachers in Texas, USA.

AN  - 61810220; EJ867336
AB  - In May 2008, the National Assessment Program--Literary and Numeracy (NAPLAN) conducted nation-wide tests for reading, writing, language conventions, and numeracy. A national assessment program of this kind should provide the stimulus for macro-level (systemic) analytical studies and micro-level (individual school and/or class) analytical studies of the data. This paper is concerned with the latter type of study where numeracy results of Year 9 Queensland students are analysed. The paper provides a critique of the Year 9 numeracy test, ways in which students responded to test questions, and how results might inform teaching mathematics. (Contains 5 tables.)

In this paper the author offers a simple graphing technique that allows one to find all solutions of a polynomial equation (1) of arbitrary degree; (2) with real or complex coefficients; and (3) possessing both real and complex roots. The technique uses a graphing tool endowed with the ability to graph relations directly, without resorting to the decomposition of these relations into sets of functions. The author explains the technique, illustrating by solving a quadratic equation with complex coefficients and with no real roots. Finally, the author illustrates the technique by solving a variety of higher-degree polynomial equations, with real and complex coefficients, and with real and complex roots. (Contains 8 figures.)

T1  - Using NAPLAN Items to Develop Students' Thinking Skills and Build Confidence
AN  - 61810183; EJ867335
AB  - The focus of this paper is the use of National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) items to develop students' competence in reading mathematical text, to promote thinking strategies including estimation, and to evaluate alternative solutions for errors and misconceptions. Showing students test items and discussing strategies for thinking about questions and responses promotes student confidence and resilience, and enables a greater sense of student control over their learning. Teachers best carry out assessment as they talk to and observe their students. For teachers who feel the pressure to prepare their students for the tests, the author is recommending the use of NAPLAN items as discussion starters to promote thinking. (Contains 7 figures and 1 table.)

T1  - Probability and Cancer Clusters
AN  - 61806940; EJ867340
AB  - Recently there have been several news items about possible cancer clusters in the Australian media. The term "cancer cluster" is used when an unusually large number of people in one geographic area, often a workplace, are diagnosed with cancer in a short space of time. In this paper the authors explore this important health issue using probability theory and in particular the binomial distribution. This paper also illustrates how students can use the binomial distribution to gain a more thoughtful approach to cancer clusters and demonstrates how mathematics should be applied in practice.

T1  - Indigenous People in a Landscape of Risk: Teaching Social Work Students About Socially Just Social Work Responses
AN  - 61424187; 200907146
AB  - The need for social justice in social work practice is particularly apparent in work with indigenous populations. In spite of the social work profession's commitment to social justice, social workers have often done significant harm in their work with indigenous peoples. Social work educators are ideally positioned to close this gap between social work values and practice by teaching how principles of social justice can be applied with indigenous peoples. This article provides social work educators with background knowledge and specific tools for teaching about indigenous populations from a social justice perspective. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - A Set of Transfer-Related Services
AN  - 57749699; 200904644
AB  - As the Library of Congress (LC) expands its digital initiatives, one of the most pressing challenges is scaling digital content "transfer processes." Transfer processes are increasing in quantity, size, and diversity of transfer scenarios. Transfer processes comprise the human- and machine-performed tasks that involve: acquiring digital content, whether from within LC or from an external party; conducting quality review of digital content; moving digital content between storage systems, including archival storage systems; inventorying the digital content; manipulating the digital content, such as creating derivatives; ingesting the digital content into digital library applications or repositories; and completing other related tasks. Transfer processes are also inextricably linked with digital preservation, as many of the tasks performed during transfer are involved with preservation or must be performed properly in order to mitigate preservation risks. The Office of Strategic Initiative's (OSI) Repository Development Team (RDT) is developing a portfolio of services and components to address the challenges posed by scaling transfer processes. While the portfolio is expanding, the focus of this article will be on two core services, the Inventory Service and the Workflow Service. Before proceeding to examine these services, it will be useful to further delineate the transfer problem space. After examining these services, their role in mitigating preservation risks will be considered. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Search Web Services -- The OASIS SWS Technical Committee Work: The Abstract Protocol Definition, OpenSearch Binding, and SRU/CQL 2.0
AN  - 57740230; 200904824
AB  - The OASIS Search Web Services Technical Committee is developing search and retrieval web services, integrating various approaches under a unifying model, an Abstract Protocol Definition. SRU/CQL and OpenSearch are the two approaches featured by the current work, and we hope that additional protocols will be similarly integrated into this model. The model provides for the development of bindings. Three bindings will be developed by the Committee: SRU 1.2, OpenSearch, and SRU 2.0. These three are so-called "static" bindings; they are human-readable documents. The first two are simply renderings of the respective existing specifications. The SRU 2.0 binding however is a major new version of SRU, and there will also be a new version of the companion query language, CQL 2.0. The model also defines the concept of a "dynamic" binding, a machine-readable description file that a server provides for retrieval by a client that may then dynamically configure itself to access that server. The premise of the dynamic binding concept is that any server -- even one that pre-dated the concept -- need only provide a self-description in order to be accessible. A client will be able to access the server simply by reading and interpreting the description and, based on that description, formulating a request (including a query) and interpreting the response. Of course, the premise behind this concept is a standard description language, and that will also be part of the OASIS work. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Improving coordination of care for Aboriginal people with mental health, alcohol and drug use problems: progress report on an ongoing collaborative action research project
AN  - 57335053; 201004782
AB  - This paper outlines the background and progress to date of a project to improve the coordination of care for Aboriginal people with mental health and/or alcohol and other drug problems living in the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia. The project responds to recommendations from previous research by this team in this area, and has been running since 2004. Working with a wide range of health and human service providers, we explored issues that improve or hinder coordination of care and identified useful strategies. Some of these have already been implemented through the project: e.g. interagency cross-disciplinary training in response to shared needs, and lobbying for after-hours telephone help. Other strategies are still in progress: e.g. implementing a uniform triage and referral system and improving information sharing within Port Lincoln Aboriginal Health Service. The paper reflects on our experience of conducting Aboriginal health service research using a participatory action oriented approach, and discusses the challenges in providing effective and well coordinated rural and remote mental health/alcohol and other drug care in the context of complex health and social needs of Aboriginal people.

T1  - Do Older People Perceive Cancer Prevention and Early Detection to be Worthwhile? Implications for Prevention
AN  - 57293150; 200923257
AB  - Despite evidence that suggests modifying risk factors at any age can reduce the risk of cancer, many older people fail to take relevant preventive actions. The objectives of the project were to assess whether older people perceived taking actions to prevent cancers as worthwhile after the age of 60 years. Fifty men (19) and women (31) 60 years and older (mean age 68 years) participated in seven focus groups to assess their perceptions of preventive health actions and barriers and motivators in relation to cancer prevention. Most participants reported not adhering to preventive actions for cancer. Many did not perceive the benefits if the actions are initiated after the age of 60 years, and some risk factors were not perceived to be related to cancer. There was strong agreement that screening for cancer was worthwhile after the age of 60 years. It appears that awareness programs specifically tailored to seniors may be desirable to promote cancer prevention within a context of chronic disease prevention in general.

T1  - Active fault and landslide guidelines for planners
AN  - 50055645; 2010-032102
AB  - GNS Science has produced two guidelines for policy and consent planners on managing development on and around active faults and landslides. Both guidelines primarily aim to assist land use planners (and other interested parties) in determining whether planning documents and development applications at regional and district government levels incorporate appropriate information on fault rupture, landslide and slope instability hazards. They provide suggestions that could be used to assess hazards related to risk at the consent stage, and examples of issues, objectives, policies, rules, and assessment criteria. Basic underpinning scientific and engineering concepts related to active fault and landslides are outlined in the guidelines to assist planners in understanding hazard processes, triggers, and hazard and risk assessment. The active fault and landslide guidelines are both based on four overarching planning principles: 1) gather accurate hazard information; 2) take a risk-based approach in areas likely to be developed or subdivided; 3) if the risk is unacceptable, plan to avoid or mitigate hazards before development and subdivision occurs; and 4) communicate the risk of hazards in built-up areas. A risk-based planning approach incorporating risk analysis, evaluation and management is presented, followed by resource consent tables which can assist planners in categorising consent activity status. Due to the variable nature of the geology and associated risk across New Zealand, the guidelines do not provide prescriptive planning requirements. Rather, they provide the planner with guidance on what should be considered when considering development or planning for fault rupture or landslide hazard. The guidelines will also be of interest to emergency management planners, engineering geologists, engineers, and others who deal with active fault and landslide issues.

T1  - Planning for community recovery and restoration before disaster strikes
AN  - 50055343; 2010-032101
AB  - Communities can be severely disrupted by disasters, physically, socially and economically. After disaster strikes, communities face a period of immediate response to the disaster, followed by a phase of recovery. Recovering from the impacts of a disaster is a complex process and involves communication and co-ordination with many different agencies and individuals in order to achieve the holistic and sustainable regeneration of a community. Recovery considerations should encompass all aspects of life including the social, economic, natural and built environments. Because the recovery process is complex, issues around recovery should be considered before a disaster actually occurs. By considering the issues that may arise before an event actually happens, recovery can be better targeted, more efficient and more effective in the long-term. Tangible recovery planning can then be completed which makes provisions for the issues considered. To date, there has been only a limited focus on the recovery of land-use from hazard events. Therefore, our research to date has focused on the concept of 'pre-event recovery planing for land-use'. We provide a methodology for how land-use may be 'recovered' or used after a disaster in the New Zealand context. Although aimed primarily at local authority land-use planners who deal with land-use issues on a daily basis, the methodology will also be useful for a range of professionals who may be involved with recovery, including emergency management (e.g. recovery managers); resource, insurance and risk managers; land owners; developers; and the construction industry.

T1  - Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome: A Reappraisal
AN  - 21435088; 12488441
AB  - Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection who commence antiretroviral therapy when they are very immunodeficient are susceptible to immune reconstitution disorders. The most common disorders are the various forms of immune restoration disease (IRD) that appear to result from the restoration of a dysregulated immune response against pathogen-specific antigens. Essentially, any pathogen that can cause an opportunistic infection as a result of cellular immunodeficiency can provoke IRD when pathogen-specific immune responses recover during antiretroviral therapy. In resource-poor countries, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Cryptococcus neoformans are the most significant pathogens, because the former causes substantial morbidity and the latter causes substantial mortality. IRD associated with these pathogens is characterized by severe inflammatory responses and is often referred to as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Prevention and treatment strategies for IRD are being developed, but preliminary data have demonstrated the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy in severe cases. Immune reconstitution after antiretroviral therapy may also be associated with autoimmune disease or sarcoidosis, both of which appear to have an immunopathogenesis that is different from that of IRD.

T1  - One-Month Diesel Exhaust Inhalation Produces Hypertensive Gene Expression Pattern in Healthy Rats
AN  - 21399450; 12129473
AB  - BACKGROUND: Exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is linked to vasoconstriction, endothelial dysfunction, and myocardial ischemia in compromised individuals. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that DE inhalation would cause greater inflammation, hematologic alterations, and cardiac molecular impairment in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats than in healthy Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. METHODS AND RESULTS: Male rats (12-14 weeks of age) were exposed to air or DE from a 30-kW Deutz engine at 500 or 2,000 microg/m3, 4 hr/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Neutrophilic influx was noted in the lung lavage fluid of both strains, but injury markers were minimally changed. Particle-laden macrophages were apparent histologically in DE-exposed rats. Lower baseline cardiac anti-oxidant enzyme activities were present in SH than in WKY rats; however, no DE effects were noted. Cardiac mitochondrial aconitase activity decreased after DE exposure in both strains. Electron microscopy indicated abnormalities in cardiac mitochondria of control SH but no DE effects. Gene expression profiling demonstrated alterations in 377 genes by DE in WKY but none in SH rats. The direction of DE-induced changes in WKY mimicked expression pattern of control SH rats without DE. Most genes affected by DE were down-regulated in WKY. The same genes were down-regulated in SH without DE producing a hypertensive-like expression pattern. The down-regulated genes included those that regulate compensatory response, matrix metabolism, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress response. No up-regulation of inflammatory genes was noted. CONCLUSIONS: We provide the evidence that DE inhalation produces a hypertensive-like cardiac gene expression pattern associated with mitochondrial oxidative stress in healthy rats.

T1  - Deducing in Vivo Toxicity of Combustion-Derived Nanoparticles from a Cell-Free Oxidative Potency Assay and Metabolic Activation of Organic Compounds
AN  - 21388507; 12129471
AB  - BACKGROUND: The inhalation of combustion-derived nanoparticles (CDNPs) is believed to cause an oxidative stress response, which in turn may lead to pulmonary or even systemic inflammation. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: In this study we assessed whether the in vivo inflammatory response--which is generally referred to as particle toxicity-of mice to CDNPs can be predicted in vitro by a cell-free ascorbate test for the surface reactivity or, more precisely, oxidative potency (OxPot) of particles. RESULTS: For six types of CDNPs with widely varying particle diameter (10-50 nm), organic content (OC; 1-20%), and specific Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area (43-800 m2/g), OxPot correlated strongly with the in vivo inflammatory response (pulmonary polymorphonuclear neutrophil influx 24 hr after intratracheal particle instillation). However, for CDNPs with high organic content, OxPot could not explain the observed inflammatory response, possibly due to shielding of the OxPot of the carbon core of CDNPs by an organic coating. On the other hand, a pathway-specific gene expression screen indicated that, for particles rich in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) enzyme-mediated biotransformation of bio-available organics may generate oxidative stress and thus enhance the in vivo inflammatory response. CONCLUSION: The compensatory nature of both effects (shielding of carbon core and biotransformation of PAHs) results in a good correlation between inflammatory response and BET surface area for all CDNPs. Hence, the in vivo inflammatory response can either be predicted by BET surface area or by a simple quantitative model, based on in vitro OxPot and Cyp1a1 induction.

T1  - Hydroxylated Metabolites of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers in Human Blood Samples from the United States
AN  - 21388468; 12129465
AB  - BACKGROUND: A previous study from our laboratory showed that polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were metabolized to hydroxylated PBDEs (HO-PBDEs) in mice and that para-HO-PBDEs were the most abundant and, potentially, the most toxic metabolites. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to determine the concentrations of HO-PBDEs in blood from pregnant women, who had not been intentionally or occupationally exposed to these flame retardants, and from their newborn babies. METHODS: Twenty human blood samples were obtained from a hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, and analyzed for both PBDEs and HO-PBDEs using electron-capture negative-ionization gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The metabolite pattern of HO-PBDEs in human blood was quite different from that found in mice; 5-HO-BDE-47 and 6-HO-BDE-47 were the most abundant metabolites of BDE-47, and 5'-HO-BDE-99 and 6'-HO-BDE-99 were the most abundant metabolites of BDE-99. The relative concentrations between precursor and corresponding metabolites indicated that BDE-99 was more likely to be metabolized than BDE-47 and BDE-100. In addition, three bromophenols were also detected as products of the cleavage of the diphenyl ether bond. The ratio of total hydroxylated metabolites relative to their PBDE precursors ranged from 0.10 to 2.8, indicating that hydroxylated metabolites of PBDEs were accumulated in human blood. CONCLUSIONS: The quite different PBDE metabolite pattern observed in humans versus mice indicates that different enzymes might be involved in the metabolic process. Although the levels of HO-PBDE metabolites found in human blood were low, these metabolites seemed to be accumulating.

T1  - Phthalates Impair Germ Cell Development in the Human Fetal Testis in Vitro without Change in Testosterone Production
AN  - 21375708; 12129478
AB  - BACKGROUND: Several studies have described an increasing frequency of male reproductive disorders, which may have a common origin in fetal life and which are hypothesized to be caused by endocrine disruptors. Phthalate esters represent a class of environmental endocrine-active chemicals known to disrupt development of the male reproductive tract by decreasing testosterone production in the fetal rat. OBJECTIVES: Using the organ culture system we developed previously, we investigated the effects on the development of human fetal testis of one phthalate--mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP)--an industrial chemical found in many products, which has been incriminated as a disruptor of male reproductive function. METHODS: Human fetal testes were recovered during the first trimester (7-12 weeks) of gestation, a critical period for testicular differentiation, and cultured for 3 days with or without MEHP in basal conditions or stimulated with luteinizing hormone (LH). RESULTS: Whatever the dose, MEHP treatment had no effect on basal or LH-stimulated testosterone produced by the human fetal testis in vitro, although testosterone production can be modulated in our culture system. MEHP (10(-4) M) did not affect proliferation or apoptosis of Sertoli cells, but it reduced the mRNA expression of anti-Muellerian hormone. MEHP (10(-4) M) reduced the number of germ cells by increasing their apoptosis, measured by the detection of caspase-3-positive germ cells, without modification of their proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first experimental demonstration that phthalates alter the development of the germ cell lineage in humans. However, in contrast to results observed in the rat, phthalates did not affect steroidogenesis.

T1  - Long-Term Effects on Hypothalamic Neuropeptides after Developmental Exposure to Chlorpyrifos in Mice
AN  - 21372826; 12129461
AB  - BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence from animal and human studies indicates that chlorpyrifos (CPF), similar to other organophosphorus insecticides still widely used, is a developmental neurotoxicant. Developmental exposure to CPF in rodents induces sex-dimorphic behavioral changes at adulthood, including social and agonistic responses, which suggests that CPF may interfere with maturation of neuroendocrine mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: We assessed the hypothesis that CPF affects the levels of neurohypophyseal hormones acting as modulators of social behavior in mammals, such as oxytocin (OT), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and prolactin (PRL). METHODS: Pregnant female mice were orally administered with either vehicle (peanut oil) or 3 or 6 mg/kg CPF on gestational day (GD) 15 to GD18, and offspring were treated subcutaneously with either vehicle or 1 or 3 mg/kg CPF on postnatal days (PNDs) 11 to PND14. Dose levels were chosen to avoid systemic toxicity and inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase. Offspring were sacrificed at 5 months of age, and expression of OT, AVP, and PRL was analyzed in the hypothalamus by Western blot or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. RESULTS: Both male and female mice showed dose-related enhancement of OT expression, with males presenting the more intense effect. AVP expression was significantly reduced in male mice at the higher prenatal and postnatal dose. We observed no significant effect on PRL expression in either sex. Overall, outcomes were mainly attributable to fetal exposure, whereas postnatal doses appeared to potentiate the prenatal effects. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that developmental exposure to CPF may permanently interfere with specific key signaling proteins of the hypothalamic peptidergic system, with time-, dose-, and sex-related effects still evident at adulthood.

T1  - Household Exposure to Paint and Petroleum Solvents, Chromosomal Translocations, and the Risk of Childhood Leukemia
AN  - 21372785; 12129458
AB  - BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the association between home use of solvents and paint and the risk of childhood leukemia. OBJECTIVES: In this case-control study, we examined whether the use of paint and petroleum solvents at home before birth and in early childhood influenced the risk of leukemia in children. METHODS: We based our analyses on 550 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 100 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and one or two controls per case individually matched for sex, age, Hispanic status, and race. We conducted further analyses by cytogenetic subtype. We used conditional logistic regression techniques to adjust for income. RESULTS: ALL risk was significantly associated with paint exposure [odds ratio (OR) = 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26-2.15], with a higher risk observed when paint was used postnatally, by a person other than the mother, or frequently. The association was restricted to leukemia with translocations between chromosomes 12 and 21 (OR = 4.16; 95% CI, 1.66-10.4). We found no significant association between solvent use and ALL risk overall (OR = 1.15; 95% CI, 0.87-1.51) or for various cytogenetic subtypes, but we observed a significant association in the 2.0- to 5.9-year age group (OR = 1.55; 95% CI, 1.07-2.25). In contrast, a significant increased risk for AML was associated with solvent (OR = 2.54; 95% CI, 1.19-5.42) but not with paint exposure (OR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.32-1.25). CONCLUSIONS: The association of ALL risk with paint exposure was strong, consistent with a causal relationship, but further studies are needed to confirm the association of ALL and AML risk with solvent exposure.

T1  - Iron Metabolism Genes, Low-Level Lead Exposure, and QT Interval
AN  - 21361385; 12129467
AB  - BACKGROUND: Cumulative exposure to lead has been shown to be associated with depression of electrocardiographic conduction, such as QT interval (time from start of the Q wave to end of the T wave). Because iron can enhance the oxidative effects of lead, we examined whether polymorphisms in iron metabolism genes [hemochromatosis (HFE), transferrin (TF) C2, and heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX-1)] increase susceptibility to the effects of lead on QT interval in 613 community-dwelling older men. METHODS: We used standard 12-lead electrocardiograms, K-shell X-ray fluorescence, and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry to measure QT interval, bone lead, and blood lead levels, respectively. RESULTS: A one-interquartile-range increase in tibia lead level (13 mug/g) was associated with a 11.35-msec [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.05-18.65 msec] and a 6.81-msec (95% CI, 1.67-11.95 msec) increase in the heart-rate-corrected QT interval among persons carrying long HMOX-1 alleles and at least one copy of an HFE variant, respectively, but had no effect in persons with short and middle HMOX-1 alleles and the wild-type HFE genotype. The lengthening of the heart-rate-corrected QT interval with higher tibia lead and blood lead became more pronounced as the total number (0 vs. 1 vs. /=2) of gene variants increased (tibia, p-trend = 0.01; blood, p-trend = 0.04). This synergy seems to be driven by a joint effect between HFE variant and HMOX-1 L alleles. CONCLUSION: We found evidence that gene variants related to iron metabolism increase the impacts of low-level lead exposure on the prolonged QT interval. This is the first such report, so these results should be interpreted cautiously and need to be independently verified.

T1  - Effect of Calcium Supplementation on Blood Lead Levels in Pregnancy: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
AN  - 21356436; 12129475
AB  - BACKGROUND: Prenatal lead exposure is associated with deficits in fetal growth and neurodevelopment. Calcium supplementation may attenuate fetal exposure by inhibiting mobilization of maternal bone lead and/or intestinal absorption of ingested lead. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to evaluate the effect of 1,200 mg dietary calcium supplementation on maternal blood lead levels during pregnancy. METHODS: In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted from 2001 through 2003 in Mexico City, we randomly assigned 670 women in their first trimester of pregnancy to ingest calcium (n = 334) or placebo (n = 336). We followed subjects through pregnancy and evaluated the effect of supplementation on maternal blood lead, using an intent-to-treat analysis by a mixed-effects regression model with random intercept, in 557 participants (83%) who completed follow-up. We then conducted as-treated analyses using similar models stratified by treatment compliance. RESULTS: Adjusting for baseline lead level, age, trimester of pregnancy, and dietary energy and calcium intake, calcium was associated with an average 11% reduction (0.4 microg/dL) in blood lead level relative to placebo (p = 0.004). This reduction was more evident in the second trimester (-14%, p 0.001) than in the third (-8%, p = 0.107) and was strongest in women who were most compliant (those who consumed or = 75% calcium pills; -24%, p 0.001), had baseline blood lead 5 microg/dL (-17%, p 0.01), or reported use of lead-glazed ceramics and high bone lead (-31%, p 0.01). CONCLUSION: Calcium supplementation was associated with modest reductions in blood lead when administered during pregnancy and may constitute an important secondary prevention effort to reduce circulating maternal lead and, consequently, fetal exposure.

T1  - Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Perinatal Mortality: A Case-Control Study
AN  - 21349672; 12129460
AB  - BACKGROUND: Ambient levels of air pollution may affect the health of children, as indicated by studies of infant and perinatal mortality. Scientific evidence has also correlated low birth weight and preterm birth, which are important determinants of perinatal death, with air pollution. However, most of these studies used ambient concentrations measured at monitoring sites, which may not consider differential exposure to pollutants found at elevated concentrations near heavy-traffic roadways. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to examine the association between traffic-related pollution and perinatal mortality. METHODS: We used the information collected for a case-control study conducted in 14 districts in the City of Sao Paulo, Brazil, regarding risk factors for perinatal deaths. We geocoded the residential addresses of cases (fetal and early neonatal deaths) and controls (children who survived the 28th day of life) and calculated a distance-weighted traffic density (DWTD) measure considering all roads contained in a buffer surrounding these homes. RESULTS: Logistic regression revealed a gradient of increasing risk of early neonatal death with higher exposure to traffic-related air pollution. Mothers exposed to the highest quartile of the DWTD compared with those less exposed exhibited approximately 50% increased risk (adjusted odds ratio = 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-3.19). Associations for fetal mortality were less consistent. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that motor vehicle exhaust exposures may be a risk factor for perinatal mortality.

T1  - DDT Exposure of Zebrafish Embryos Enhances Seizure Susceptibility: Relationship to Fetal p,p'-DDE Burden and Domoic Acid Exposure of California Sea Lions
AN  - 21348751; 12129470
AB  - BACKGROUND: California sea lions have a large body burden of organochlorine pesticides, and over the last decade they have also been subject to domoic acid poisoning. Domoic acid poisoning, previously recognized in adult animals, is now viewed as a major cause of prenatal mortality. The appearance of a chronic juvenile domoic acid disease in the sea lions, characterized by behavioral abnormalities and epilepsy, is consistent with early life poisoning and may be potentiated by organochlorine burden. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the interactive effect of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) on neurodevelopment using a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model for seizure behavior to examine the susceptibility to domoic acid-induced seizures after completion of neurodevelopment. METHODS: Embryos were exposed (6-30 hr postfertilization) to either o,p'-DDT or p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) during neurodevelopment via a 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide solution. These larval (7 days postfertilization) fish were then exposed to either the seizure-inducing drug pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) or domoic acid; resulting seizure behavior was monitored and analyzed for changes using cameras and behavioral tracking software. RESULTS: Embryonic exposure to DDTs enhanced PTZ seizures and caused distinct and increased seizure behaviors to domoic acid, most notably a type of head-shaking behavior. CONCLUSION: These studies demonstrate that embryonic exposure to DDTs leads to asymptomatic animals at completion of neurodevelopment with greater sensitivity to domoic acid-induced seizures. The body burden levels of p,p'-DDE are close to the range recently found in fetal California sea lions and suggest a potential interactive effect of p,p'-DDE embryonic poisoning and domoic acid toxicity.

T1  - Biodegradation of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Aniline by Microorganisms
AN  - 21099359; 11298736
AB  - Two pure cultures (strains No. A-11 and A-12) from soil sample capable of utilizing aniline as the sole source of nitrogen and energy were regarded as Achromobacter sp and Pseudomonas sp, respectively. Degradation patterns of aniline and aniline derivatives were observed on the high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) of the culture filtrate of both strains and growth of both strains were measured as protein by the Kennedy and Fewson method. The growth yield of both strains were about 46.3 g and 47.4 g of protein per mole of nitrogen source of aniline and were similar to those hi the case of NH sub(4)Cl as a nitrogen source. Biodegradation of aniline was achieved (200mg/l) in less than 3 and 4 days using strains No. A-11 and strain No. A-12, respectively. The strata No. A-11 degraded aniline more rapidly than strain No. A-12.

T1  - Application of foam-filled conical tubes in enhancing the crashworthiness performance of vehicle protective structures
AN  - 20959660; 11053179
AB  - This paper treats the feasibility of including a supplementary energy-absorbing device in the form of foam-filled conical tubes onto vehicular protective structures to enhance their energy absorbing capacity and hence to enhance safety for the occupants during accidental impacts. The effect of the supplementary energy absorber device was investigated for varying values of the wall thickness of the tube and the foam density of the filler. Research findings have shown the inclusion of this supplementary energy-absorbing device to be a cost-effective and beneficial solution, which promoted an enhanced level of occupant safety by enhancing the energy absorption, reducing the amount of plastic deformation sustained by the protective structure as well as reducing the severity of the peak decelerations transferred to the occupant compartment during such an event.

T1  - A 14 000 year sedimentary charcoal record of fire from the northern Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe Basin, California, USA
AN  - 20632053; 9369117
AB  - This research examines how the controls of fire episode frequency in the northern Sierra Nevada have varied at different temporal scales through the Holocene. A 5.5 m long sediment core was collected from Lily Pond, a 62.5 ha lake in the General Creek Watershed on the west shore of Lake Tahoe in the northern Sierra Nevada in California, USA. Dendrochronology was used to reconstruct the recent history of fire, and high-resolution charcoal analysis was used to reconstruct fire episodes for the last 14 000 cal. yr BP. Fire episode frequency was low during the Lateglacial period but increased through the middle Holocene to a maximum frequency around 6500 cal. yr BP. During the late Holocene fire episode frequency generally declined except for noted peaks around 3000 cal. yr BP and 1000-800 cal. yr BP. These variations track major climatic and vegetation changes driven by millennial-timescale variation in the seasonal cycle of insolation and regional decadal- and centennial-scale variation in effective moisture in the mid and late Holocene in the Sierra Nevada. Fire episode frequency during the Holocene in the Lake Tahoe Basin varied in response to decadal-, centennial-and millennial-scale climatic variability. Current fire episode frequency on the west shore of Lake Tahoe is at one of its lowest points in at least the last 14 000 years. Given the strong relationship between climate and fire episode frequency, warming due to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may increase fire episode frequency to levels experienced during the 'Mediaeval Warm Period' or the early-Holocene summer insolation maximum as periods of drought intensify.

T1  - Thermophilic anaerobic co-digestion of garbage, screened swine and dairy cattle manure
AN  - 20391420; 9068855
AB  - Methane fermentation characteristics of garbage, swine manure (SM), dairy cattle manure (DCM) and mixtures of these wastes were studied. SM and DCM showed much lower volatile total solid (VTS) digestion efficiencies and methane yield than those of garbage. VTS digestion efficiency of SM was significantly increased when it was co-digested with garbage (Garbage: SM = 1:1). Co-digestion of garbage, SM and DCM with respect to the relative quantity of each waste discharged in the Kikuchi (1: 16: 27) and Aso (1: 19: 12) areas indicated that co-digestion with garbage would improve the digestion characteristic of SM and DCM as far as the ratio of DCM in the wastes was maintained below a certain level. When the mixed waste (Garbage: SM: DCM = 1:19:12) was treated using a thermophilic UAF reactor, methanogens responsible for the methane production were Methanoculleus and Methanosarcina species. Bacterial species in the phylum Firmicutes were dominant bacteria responsible for the digestion of these wastes. As the percentage of garbage in the mixed wastes used in this study was low (2-3%) and the digestion efficiency of DCM was obviously improved, the co-digestion of SM and DCM with limited garbage was a prospective method to treat the livestock waste effectively and was an attractive alternative technology for the construction of a sustainable environment and society in stock raising area.

T1  - Evaluating the performance of basic fuchsin for the Ziehl-Neelsen stain
AN  - 20343708; 9016762
AB  - SETTING: An investigation of commercially available basic fuchsin (BF) dye powders used for the detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether single, or multiple, assays may predict the performance of BF in the Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) method. DESIGN: The composition and staining properties of six BF dye samples were assessed using continuous recording spectrophotometry, reverse phase thin-layer chromatography (RPTLC) and a standardised ZN biological staining test. RESULTS: Variable proportions of BF homologues could be demonstrated in the samples, but neither spectroscopy nor RPTLC was fully predictive of their staining quality. ZN staining of standard smears was needed to identify five powders that yielded satisfactory results and one powder with unsatisfactory performance. Increasing the BF concentration did not always result in improved staining. CONCLUSIONS: Simple analytical methods, such as spectrophotometry and RPTLC, should be complemented by biological staining of control smears to assess the quality of BF dye powders. This allows tuberculosis control programmes to avoid procurement of BF dyes that would fail to detect AFB even when strictly adhering to current international guidelines for ZN staining.

T1  - Meeting Report: Consensus Statement-Parkinson's Disease and the Environment: Collaborative on Health and the Environment and Parkinson's Action Network (CHE PAN) Conference 26-28 June 2007
AN  - 20298342; 8892369
AB  - BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. People with PD, their families, scientists, health care providers, and the general public are increasingly interested in identifying environmental contributors to PD risk. METHODS: In June 2007, a multidisciplinary group of experts gathered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, to assess what is known about the contribution of environmental factors to PD. RESULTS: We describe the conclusions around which they came to consensus with respect to environmental contributors to PD risk. We conclude with a brief summary of research needs. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a complex disorder, and multiple different pathogenic pathways and mechanisms can ultimately lead to PD. Within the individual there are many determinants of PD risk, and within populations, the causes of PD are heterogeneous. Although rare recognized genetic mutations are sufficient to cause PD, these account for < 10% of PD in the U.S. population, and incomplete penetrance suggests that environmental factors may be involved. Indeed, interplay among environmental factors and genetic makeup likely influences the risk of developing PD. There is a need for further understanding of how risk factors interact, and studying PD is likely to increase understanding of other neurodegenerative disorders.

T1  - Extra Protection for Pregnant Women: Calcium Supplement Reduces Blood Lead
AN  - 20298280; 8892348
AB  - Lead, like calcium, is stored in bones and generally does not circulate throughout the body. But the demands of pregnancy and lactation trigger the release of calcium, which also releases lead into the maternal blood stream. Researchers previously showed that daily calcium supplementation during lactation reduced maternal blood lead by 15-20% and lead in breast milk by 5-10%. A new study by the same team shows that taking inexpensive calcium supplements daily also reduces blood lead levels during pregnancy [EHP 117:26-31; Ettinger et al.]. Such supplementation could help mitigate the adverse effects of prenatal lead exposure, which include low birth weight, lower intelligence scores, and impaired motor and visual skills.

T1  - Concentrations of Phthalate Metabolites in Milk, Urine, Saliva, and Serum of Lactating North Carolina Women
AN  - 20292722; 8892364
AB  - Background: Phthalates are ubiquitous in the environment, but concentrations in multiple media from breast-feeding U.S. women have not been evaluated. Objectives: The objective of this study was to accurately measure and compare the concentrations of oxidative monoester phthalate metabolites in milk and surrogate fluids (serum, saliva, and urine) of 33 lactating North Carolina women. Methods: We analyzed serum, saliva, urine, and milk for the oxidative phthalate metabolites mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate, mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate using isotope-dilution high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy. Because only urine lacks esterases, we analyzed it for the hydrolytic phthalate monoesters. Results: We detected phthalate metabolites in few milk ( 80% of serum samples, but other metabolites were less common (3-22%). Seven of the 10 urinary metabolites were detectable in greater than or equal to 85% of samples. Monoethyl phthalate had the highest mean concentration in urine. Metabolite concentrations differed by body fluid (urine > serum > milk and saliva). Questionnaire data suggest that frequent nail polish use, immuno-globulin A, and fasting serum glucose and triglyceride levels were increased among women with higher concentrations of urinary and/or serum phthalate metabolites; motor vehicle age was inversely correlated with certain urinary phthalate concentrations. Conclusions: Our data suggest that phthalate metabolites are most frequently detected in urine of lactating women and are less often detected in serum, milk, or saliva. Urinary phthalate concentrations reflect maternal exposure and do not represent the concentrations of oxidative metabolites in other body fluids, especially milk.

AN  - 20292629; 8892347
AB  - It was an August afternoon in 2003 when the lights went out on Broadway, and for that matter, throughout most of the Northeast, Midwest, and Ontario--a power blackout left 50 million customers in the dark overnight. Despite complaints about the inconveniences, the stranded commuters, and the food spoilage in restaurants and markets, many city dwellers were also awed; as evening came on, they gazed upward, and between the dark skyscrapers they could see something amazing--the starry night sky. The New York Times reported spontaneous stargazing gatherings in the usually electrified cities of the Northeast.

T1  - Missing the Dark: Health Effects of Light Pollution
AN  - 20292486; 8892346
AB  - In 1879, Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulbs first illuminated a New York street, and the modern era of electric lighting began. Since then, the world has become awash in electric light. Powerful lamps light up streets, yards, parking lots, and billboards. Sports facilities blaze with light that is visible for tens of miles. Business and office building window glow throughout the night. According to the Tucson, Arizona-based International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), the sky glow of Los Angeles is visible from an airplane 200 miles away. In most of the world's large urban centers, stargazing is something that happens at a planetarium. Indeed, when a 1994 earthquake knocked out the power in Los Aligles, many anxious residents called 1ocal emergency Centers to report seeing a strange "giant, jrilvery cloud" in the dark sky. What they were really seeing--for the first time--was the Milky Way, long obliterated by the urban sky glow.

T1  - Urinary Levoglucosan as a Biomarker of Wood Smoke Exposure: Observations in a Mouse Model and in Children
AN  - 20291863; 8892362
AB  - Background: Biomass smoke is an important source of particulate matter (PM), and much remains to be discovered with respect to the human health effects associated with this specific PM source. Exposure to biomass smoke can occur in one of two main categories: short-term exposures consist of periodic, seasonal exposures typified by communities near forest fires or intentional agricultural burning, and long-term exposures are chronic and typified by the use of biomass materials for cooking or heating. Levoglucosan (LG), a sugar anhydride released by combustion of cellulose-containing materials, is an attractive candidate as a biomarker of wood smoke exposure. Objectives: In the present study, Balb/c mice and children were assessed for LG in urine to determine its feasibility as a biomarker. Methods: We performed urinary detection of LG by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry after intranasal instillations of LG or concentrated PM (mice) or biomass exposure (mice or humans). Results: After instillation, we recovered most of the LG within the first 4 hr. Experiments using glucose instillation proved the specificity of our system, and instillation of concentrated PM from wood smoke, ambient air, and diesel exhaust supported a connection between wood smoke and LG. In addition, LG was detected in the urine of mice exposed to wood smoke. Finally, a pilot human study proved our ability to detect LG in urine of children. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that LG in the lungs is detectable in the urine of both mice and humans and that it is a good candidate as a biomarker of exposure to biomass smoke.

T1  - Is There Evidence for Synergy Among Air Pollutants in Causing Health Effects?
AN  - 20291819; 8892352
AB  - BACKGROUND: Environmental air pollutants are inhaled as complex mixtures, but the long dominant focus of monitoring and research on individual pollutants has provided modest insight into pollutant interactions that may be important to health. Trends toward managing multiple pollutants to maximize aggregate health gains place increasing value on knowing whether the effects of combinations of pollutants are greater than the sum of the effects of individual pollutants (synergy). OBJECTIVE: We reviewed selected published literature to determine whether synergistic effects of combinations of pollutants on health outcomes have actually been demonstrated. METHODS AND RESULTS: We reviewed 36 laboratory studies of combinations of ozone with other pollutants that were reported in the recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Ozone Criteria Document. We examined original reports to determine whether the experimental design tested for synergy and whether synergy was demonstrated. Fourteen studies demonstrated synergism, although synergistic, additive, and antagonistic effects were sometimes observed among different outcomes or at different times after exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Synergisms involving O sub(3) have been demonstrated by laboratory studies of humans and animals. We conclude that the plausibility of synergisms among environmental pollutants has been established, although comparisons are limited, and most involved exposure concentrations much higher than typical of environmental pollutants. Epidemiologic research has limited ability to address the issue explicitly.

T1  - Prenatal Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls: A Neuropsychologic Analysis
AN  - 20287881; 8892353
AB  - OBJECTIVES: A large body of literature documents the effects of prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on cognitive development of children. Despite this fact, no integrative synthesis has been published yet to identify the cognitive functions that are particularly affected. Our aim is to review this literature in an attempt to identify the cognitive profile associated with prenatal PCB exposure. DATA SOURCES: Studies were identified by searching the PubMed database for articles published before June 2008. We reviewed data from nine prospective longitudinal birth cohorts for different aspects of cognition. DATA EXTRACTION: Associations between indicators of prenatal PCB exposure and performance on cognitive tasks reported in the selected studies are summarized and classified as general cognitive abilities, verbal or visual-spatial skills, memory, attention, and executive functions. DATA SYNTHESIS: The most consistent effects observed across studies are impaired executive functioning related to increased prenatal PCB exposure. Negative effects on processing speed, verbal abilities, and visual recognition memory are also reported by most studies. Converging results from different cohort studies in which exposure arises from different sources make it unlikely that co-exposure with another associated contaminant is responsible for the observed effects. CONCLUSION: Prenatal PCB exposure appears to be related to a relatively specific cognitive profile of impairments. Failure to assess functions that are specifically impaired may explain the absence of effects found in some studies. Our findings have implications in the selection of cognitive assessment methods in future studies.

T1  - Direct comparison of fluorescence- and bioluminescence-based resonance energy transfer methods for real-time monitoring of thrombin-catalysed proteolytic cleavage
AN  - 20276895; 8874629
AB  - In this study, a representative FRET system (CFP donor and YFP acceptor) is compared with the BRET super(2) system (Renilla luciferase donor, green fluorescent protein super(2) (GFP super(2)) acceptor and coelenterazine 400a substrate). Cleavage of a thrombin-protease-sensitive peptide sequence inserted between the donor and acceptor proteins was detected by the RET signal. Complete cleavage by thrombin changed the BRET super(2) signal by a factor of 28.9+/-0.2 (R.S.D. (relative standard deviation), n=3) and the FRET signal by a factor of 3.2+/-0.1 (R.S.D., n=3). The BRET super(2) technique was 50 times more sensitive than the FRET technique for monitoring thrombin concentrations. Detection limits (blank signal+3 sigma sub(b), where sigma sub(b)=the standard deviation (S.D.) of the blank signal) were calculated to be 3.05 and 0.22nM thrombin for FRET and BRET super(2), respectively. This direct comparison suggests that the BRET super(2) technique is more suitable than FRET for use in proximity assays such as protease cleavage assays or protein-protein interaction assays.

T1  - d-Fructose detection based on the direct heterogeneous electron transfer reaction of fructose dehydrogenase adsorbed onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes synthesized on platinum electrode
AN  - 20275829; 8874633
AB  - Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized on platinum plate electrodes by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. From the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and voltammetric investigation, the iron nanoparticles used as a catalyst for the MWCNT synthesis were enclosed with MWCNTs. The MWCNTs synthesized on the Pt plate (MWCNTs/Pt) electrode were immediately immersed into solutions of d-fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) to immobilize the enzyme onto the MWCNTs/Pt electrode surfaces. After the FDH was immobilized onto the MWCNTs/Pt electrode, a well-defined catalytic oxidation current based on FDH was observed from ca. -0.15V (versus Ag/AgCl/sat'd KCl), which was close to the redox potential of heme c as a prosthetic group of FDH. From an analysis of a plot of the catalytic current versus substrate, the calibration range for the fructose concentration was up to ca. 40mmoldm super(-) super(3), and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant was evaluated to be 11+/-1mmoldm super(-) super(3).

T1  - The 2006 California Heat Wave: Impacts on Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits
AN  - 20262899; 8892360
AB  - Background: Climate models project that heat waves will increase in frequency and severity. Despite many studies of mortality from heat waves, few studies have examined morbidity. Objectives: In this study we investigated whether any age or race/ethnicity groups experienced increased hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits overall or for selected illnesses during the 2006 California heat wave. Methods: We aggregated county-level hospitalizations and ED visits for all causes and for 10 cause groups into six geographic regions of California. We calculated excess morbidity and rate ratios (RRs) during the heat wave (15 July to 1 August 2006) and compared these data with those of a reference period (8-14 July and 12-22 August 2006). Results: During the heat wave, 16,166 excess ED visits and 1,182 excess hospitalizations occurred statewide. ED visits for heat-related causes increased across the state [RR = 6.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 5.67-7.01], especially in the Central Coast region, which includes San Francisco. Children (0-4 years of age) and the elderly ( greater than or equal to 65 years of age) were at greatest risk. ED visits also showed significant increases for acute renal failure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, electrolyte imbalance, and nephritis. We observed significantly elevated RRs for hospitalizations for heat-related illnesses (RR = 10.15; 95% CI, 7.79-13.43), acute renal failure, electrolyte imbalance, and nephritis. Conclusions: The 2006 California heat wave had a substantial effect on morbidity, including regions with relatively modest temperatures. This suggests that population acclimatization and adaptive capacity influenced risk. By better understanding these impacts and population vulnerabilities, local communities can improve heat wave preparedness to cope with a globally warming future.

T1  - A Retrospective Performance Assessment of the Developmental Neurotoxicity Study in Support of OECD Test Guideline 426
AN  - 20262871; 8892354
AB  - OBJECTIVE: We conducted a review of the history and performance of developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) testing in support of the finalization and implementation of Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) DNT test guideline 426 (TG 426). INFORMATION SOURCES AND ANALYSIS: In this review we summarize extensive scientific efforts that form the foundation for this testing paradigm, including basic neurotoxicology research) interlabo-ratory collaborative studies, expert workshops, and validation studies, and we address the relevance, applicability, and use of the DNT study in risk assessment. CONCLUSIONS: The OECD DNT guideline represents the best available science for assessing the potential for DNT in human health risk assessment, and data generated with this protocol are relevant and reliable for the assessment of these end points. The test methods used have been subjected to an extensive history of international validation, peer review, and evaluation, which is contained in the public record. The reproducibility, reliability, and sensitivity of these methods have been demonstrated, using a wide variety of test substances, in accordance with OECD guidance on the validation and international acceptance of new or updated test methods for hazard characterization. Multiple independent, expert scientific peer reviews affirm these conclusions.

T1  - Cord Blood Mercury and Early Child Development: Lederman and Perera Respond
AN  - 20262822; 8892339
AB  - In our study (Lederman et al. 2008), we examined the relation of cord and maternal blood mercury levels to child developmental outcomes at 1,2, 3, and 4 years of age in a cohort whose mothers were selected because they were pregnant on 11 September 2001. Some of the women were exposed to the World Trade Center (WTC) event because they lived and/or worked near the WTC site in the weeks after the disaster, whereas others lived and worked elsewhere.

T1  - Using MODFLOW 2000 to Model ET and Recharge for Shallow Ground Water Problems
AN  - 20262535; 8906919
AB  - AbstractIn environments with shallow ground water elevation, small changes in the water table can cause significant variations in recharge and evapotranspiration fluxes. Particularly, where ground water is close to the soil surface, both recharge and evapotranspiration are regulated by a thin unsaturated zone and, for accuracy, must be represented using nonconstant and often nonlinear relationships. The most commonly used ground water flow model today, MODFLOW, was originally designed with a modular structure with independent packages representing recharge and evaporation processes. Systems with shallow ground water, however, may be better represented using either a recharge function that varies with ground water depth or a continuous recharge and evapotranspiration function that is dependent on depth to water table. In situations where the boundaries between recharging and nonrecharging cells change with time, such as near a seepage zone, a continuous ground water flux relationship allows recharge rates to change with depth rather than having to calculate them at each stress period. This research article describes the modification of the MODFLOW 2000 recharge and segmented evapotranspiration packages into a continuous recharge-discharge function that allows ground water flux to be represented as a continuous process, dependent on head. The modifications were then used to model long-term recharge and evapotranspiration processes on a saline, semiarid floodplain in order to understand spatial patterns of salinization, and an overview of this process is given.

T1  - Multiple MyD88-dependent responses contribute to pulmonary clearance of Legionella pneumophila
AN  - 20262113; 8906444
AB  - SummaryMyD88-dependent signalling is important for secretion of early inflammatory cytokines and host protection in response to Legionella pneumophila infection. Although toll-like receptor (TLR)2 contributes to MyD88-dependent clearance of L.pneumophila, TLR-independent functions of MyD88 could also be important. To determine why MyD88 is critical for host protection to L.pneumophila, the contribution of multiple TLRs and IL-18 receptor (IL-18R)-dependent interferon-gamma (IFN-g) production in a mouse was examined. Mice deficient for TLR5 or TLR9, or deficient for TLR2 along with either TLR5 or TLR9, were competent for controlling bacterial replication and had no apparent defects in cytokine production compared with control mice. MyD88-dependent production of IFN-g in the lung was mediated primarily by natural killer cells and required IL-18R signalling. Reducing IFN-g levels did not greatly affect the kinetics of L.pneumophila replication or clearance in infected mice. Additionally, IFN-g-deficient mice did not have a susceptibility phenotype as severe as the MyD88-deficient mice and were able to control a pulmonary infection by L.pneumophila. Thus, MyD88-dependent innate immune responses induced by L.pneumophila involve both TLR-dependent responses and IL-18R-dependent production of IFN-g by natural killer cells, and these MyD88-dependent pathways can function independently to provide host protection against an intracellular pathogen.

T1  - Intrauterine Exposure to Environmental Pollutants and Body Mass Index during the First 3 Years of Life
AN  - 20262091; 8892370
AB  - OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) standard deviation score (SDS) and prenatal exposure to hexachlorobenzene, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), dioxin-like compounds, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). METHODS: In this prospective birth cohort study, we assessed a random sample of mother-infant pairs (n = 138) living in Flanders, Belgium, with follow-up until the children were 3 years of age. We measured body mass index as standard deviation scores (BMI SDS) of children 1-3 years of age as well as pollutants measured in cord blood. RESULTS: DDE correlated with BMI SDS, with effect modification by maternal smoking and the child's age. At 1 year, children of smoking mothers had higher BMI SDS than did children of nonsmoking mothers. At 3 years, this difference was reduced because of the faster rate of decline in BMI SDS in the former group. This relationship held except for children with high levels of DDE. DDE had a small effect on BMI SDS at 3 years of age in children of nonsmoking mothers (difference in BMI SDS for DDE concentrations between the 90th and 10th percentiles = 0.13). On the other hand, smoking enhanced the relation between DDE and BMI SDS at 3 years (difference in BMI SDS for DDE concentrations between the 90th and 10th percentiles = 0.76). Increasing concentrations of PCBs were associated with higher BMI SDS values at all ages (parameter estimate = 0.003 c 0.001; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: In this study we demonstrated that intrauterine exposure to DDE and PCBs is associated with BMI during early childhood. Future studies are warranted to confirm our findings and to assess possible mechanisms by which these pollutants could alter energy metabolism.

T1  - PCBs Make Their Mark: Review Pinpoints Cognitive Profile of Prenatal Exposure
AN  - 20262055; 8892349
AB  - Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) impairs cognitive development in infants and children, according to numerous studies of these ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Studies of PCB damage have considered many different end points, but the results of these different studies have never been coordinated to pinpoint the neuropsychologic functions most likely to be damaged by prenatal exposure to PCBs. However, a review of longitudinal birth cohort studies in the medical literature reveals that impairment of executive functions--high-order brain processes responsible for planning, flexible thinking, abstract reasoning, problem solving, and inhibition of inappropriate actions--most consistently reflects prenatal PCB exposure [EHP 117:7-16; Boucher et al.].

T1  - Infectious disease: WNV Thrives in Financial Crisis
AN  - 20262028; 8892343
AB  - Criminal, civil, and journalistic investigators "follow the money" to identify the culprit of a crime. Public health detectives sometimes follow suit, since income is a well-known indicator of relative healthiness. In a new twist on this association, the worldwide financial crisis appears to be affecting human health in some settings, according to a team of researchers reporting in the November 2008 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases. They studied home foreclosure and West Nile virus (WNV) incidence in the Bakersfield, California, area for 2006 and 2007 and found a parallel rise in both. Notices of delinquency rose 300%, soaring from 500 in the middle of 2006 to 1,500 in the middle of 2007. In the same period, documented human WNV cases rose 276%, peaking at 140.

T1  - Air Pollution and Childhood Respiratory Allergies in the United States
AN  - 20258767; 8892373
AB  - BACKGROUND: Childhood respiratory allergies, which contribute to missed school days and other activity limitations, have increased in recent years, possibly due to environmental factors. OJECTIVE: In this study we examined whether air pollutants are associated with childhood respiratory allergies in the United States. METHODS: For the approximately 70,000 children from the 1999-2005 National Health Interview Survey eligible for this study, we assigned between 40,000 and 60,000 ambient pollution monitoring data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, depending on the pollutant. We used monitors within 20 miles of the child's residential block group. We used logistic regression models, fit with methods for complex surveys, to examine the associations between the reporting of respiratory allergy or hay fever and annual average exposure to particulate matter , 2.5 km in diameter (PM2.5), PM , 10 km in diameter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide and summer exposure to ozone, controlling for demographic and geographic factors. RESULTS: Increased respiratory allergy/hay fever was associated with increased summer O sub(3) levels [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) per 10 ppb = 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15-1.26] and increased PM sub(25) (AOR per 10 kg/m super(3) = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10-1.38). These associations persisted after stratification by urban-rural status, inclusion of multiple pollutants, and definition of exposures by differing exposure radii. No associations between the other pollutants and the reporting respiratory allergy/hay fever were apparent. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide evidence of adverse health for children living in areas with chronic exposure to higher levels of O sub(3) and PM sub(2.5) compared with children with lower exposures.

T1  - Adult Women's Blood Mercury Concentrations Vary Regionally in the United States: Association with Patterns of Fish Consumption (NHANES 1999-2004)
AN  - 20258739; 8892358
AB  - Background: The current, continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has included blood mercury (BHg) and fish/shellfish consumption since it began in 1999. NHANES 1999-2004 data form the basis for these analyses. Objectives: This study was designed to determine BHg distributions within U.S. Census regions and within coastal and noncoastal areas among women of childbearing age, their association with patterns of fish consumption, and changes from 1999 through 2004. Methods: We performed univariate and bivariate analyses to determine the distribution of BHg and fish consumption in the population and to investigate differences by geography, race/ethnicity, and income. We used multivariate analysis (regression) to determine the strongest predictors of BHg among geography, demographic factors, and fish consumption. Results: Elevated BHg occurred more commonly among women of childbearing age living in coastal areas of the United States (approximately one in six women). Regionally, exposures differ across the United States: Northeast > South and West > Midwest. Asian women and women with higher income ate more fish and had higher BHg. Time-trend analyses identified reduced BHg and reduced intake of Hg in the upper percentiles without an overall reduction of fish consumption. Conclusions: BHg is associated with income, ethnicity, residence (census region and coastal proximity). From 1999 through 2004, BHg decreased without a concomitant decrease in fish consumption. Data are consistent with a shift over this time period in fish species in women's diets.

T1  - Programmed Obesity?: Study links Intrauterine Exposures to Higher BMI in Toddlers
AN  - 20258705; 8892351
AB  - To date, there have been relatively few epidemiologic studies investigating the association between intrauterine exposure to chemicals and body mass index (BMI, which characterizes weight in relation to height). Now a prospective birth cohort study in Flanders, Belgium, reveals an association between prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants and elevated BMI during the first three years of life [EHP 117:122-126; Verhulst et al.]. The study also found associations between exposures and birth weight and length.

T1  - Cord Blood Mercury and Early Child Development: Effects of the World Trade Center
AN  - 20258642; 8892338
AB  - Lederman et al. (2008) assessed Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and Verbal and Full Intelligence Quotient Scores (VFIQS) (at 36 months of age for PDI and 48 months for VFIQS) as a function of prenatal mercury exposure (corrected for maternal fish intake during pregnancy) resulting from potential exposure after the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster. This timely and interesting study took into consideration maternal variables known to influence cord Hg (possibly reflecting fish consumption) and also controlled for most of the known maternal characteristics that could affect neuro-developmental outcomes. However, two of the most important variables in die context of infant exposure and neurodevelopment were left out of the model: early (pregnancy and postnatal) thimerosal-Hg exposure and the mode of feeding (Dorea 2007).

AB  - Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), one of the most abundant phthalates produced, has been incorporated into flexible plastic products such as food containers and packaging, toys, medical equipment, and home and garden products. DEHP is being phased out of some products because of growing concern about its potential health effects. A French team has now established the first tangible link between one phthalate, the DEHP metabolite mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), and altered human germ cell development [EHP 117:32-37; Lambrot et aL].

T1  - Shortened Time to Identify Staphylococcus Species from Blood Cultures and Methicillin Resistance Testing Using CHROMAgar
AN  - 20068452; 9320498
AB  - The ability to rapidly differentiate coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) from Staphylococcus aureus and to determine methicillin resistance is important as it affects the decision to treat empiric antibiotic selection. The objective of this study was to evaluate CHROMagar S. aureus and CHROMagar MRSA (Becton Dickinson) for rapid identification of Staphylococcus spp. directly from blood cultures. Consecutive blood culture bottles (BacT Alert 3D SA and SN, bioMerieux) growing gram-positive cocci in clusters were evaluated. An aliquot was plated onto CHROMagar MRSA (C-MRSA) and CHROMagar S. aureus (C-SA) plates, which were read at 12 to 16 hours. C-SA correctly identified 147/147 S. aureus (100% sensitivity); 2 CoNS were misidentified as S. aureus (98% specificity). C-MRSA correctly identified 74/77 MRSA (96% sensitivity). None of the MSSA isolates grew on C-MRSA (100% specificity). In conclusion, CHROMagar is a rapid and sensitive method to distinguish MRSA, MSSA, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and may decrease time of reporting positive results.

T1  - Viewpoint: CO2 emissions from electricity generation in seven Asia-Pacific and North American countries: A decomposition analysis
AN  - 19702101; 9062887
AB  - The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method of complete decomposition is used to examine the role of three factors (electricity production, electricity generation structure and energy intensity of electricity generation) affecting the evolution of CO2 emissions from electricity generation in seven countries. These seven countries together generated 58% of global electricity and they are responsible for more than two-thirds of global CO2 emissions from electricity generation in 2005. The analysis shows production effect as the major factor responsible for rise in CO2 emissions during the period 1990 -2005. The generation structure effect also contributed in CO2 emissions increase, although at a slower rate. In contrary, the energy intensity effect is responsible for modest reduction in CO2 emissions during this period. Over the 2005 -2030 period, production effect remains the key factor responsible for increase in emissions and energy intensity effect is responsible for decrease in emissions. Unlike in the past, generation structure effect contributes significant decrease in emissions. However, the degree of influence of these factors affecting changes in CO2 emissions vary from country to country. The analysis also shows that there is a potential of efficiency improvement of fossil-fuel-fired power plants and its associated co-benefits among these countries.

T1  - The significance of termites as decomposers in contrasting grassland communities of semi-arid eastern Australia
AN  - 19663591; 8851633
AB  - Decomposition of various litter forms including dead tussocks of two native perennial grasses, woollybutt (Eragrostis eriopoda) and mulga mitchell (Thyridolepis mitchelliana), as well as roots of woollybutt, dung of sheep and kangaroo, and bleached toilet rolls, was studied in contrasting grazing exclosures, half of which had termites excluded by biocide (termiticide) treatment. Dead mulga mitchell tussocks decayed more rapidly than woollybutt tussocks during the first 17months post mortem. Thereafter, rate of decay differed little between species. After 3years, only small amounts of tussock residues of either species remained and only then did the impact of biocide treatment become significant. Decomposition of kangaroo pellets was typically bimodal with significantly higher decomposition recorded in the controls (no biocide) up to 40months after treatment, and many intact pellets remaining in the biocide-treated plots. While decomposition of sheep pellets showed similar bimodality, decomposition remained significantly lower in the biocide treatments for the entire duration of the experiment. Results suggest that abiotic processes, including those induced by UV radiation, may be dominant influences mediating decomposition of litter in these semi-arid ecosystems, especially following high-rainfall seasons when abundant grass biomass has been generated providing a surfeit of potential forage for harvester termites.

T1  - Comparison of odour emission rates measured from various sources using two sampling devices
AN  - 19637205; 8769451
AB  - Two commonly used sampling devices (a wind tunnel and the US EPA dynamic emission chamber), were used to collect paired samples of odorous air from a number of agricultural odour sources. The odour samples were assessed using triangular, forced-choice dynamic olfactometry. The odour concentration data was combined with the flushing rate data to calculate odour emission rates for both devices on all sources. Odour concentrations were consistently higher in samples collected with a flux chamber (ratio ranging from 10:7 to 5:1, relative to wind tunnel samples), whereas odour emission rates were consistently larger when derived from wind tunnels (ratio ranging from 60:1 to 240:1, relative to flux chamber values). A complex relationship existed between emission rate estimates derived from each device, apparently influenced by the nature of the emitting surface. These results have great significance for users of odour dispersion models, for which an odour emission rate is a key input parameter.

T1  - The fractal nature of French tense/aspect acquisition
AN  - 1430172021; 201313317
AB  - This article builds upon previous studies that contrast the Lexical Aspect Hypothesis (LAH) and the Discourse Hypothesis (DH) in order to establish principles of tense-aspect morphology acquisition. Whereas the LAH predicts that (beginning) language learners use verbal morphology to mark situation types (cf. Vendler 1967), the DH maintains that learners use verbal morphology to mark discursive features. I argue that both hypotheses lack sufficient theoretical/empirical evidence to rule out the possibility that verbal morphology is also sensitive to temporal deixis, especially given the widely-attested usage of the present tense in L2 past-time narratives. Therefore, the current study seeks to replicate Salaberry (2011) without controlling for tense. Twenty-eight learners of French as a second language judged the acceptability of various verbal inflections in a cloze narrative task and then engaged in a retrospective protocol. The results were submitted to a repeated measures ANOVA, which revealed a significant interaction among morphology, lexical aspect and discursive environment that are not envisioned by either the LAH or the DH. Moreover, the systematic (and not random or 'default') use of the present tense lends support to a fractal model of French morphology acquisition in which learners 'soft assemble' their (inter)language with the resources at hand.

T1  - Nuclear Weapons in U.S. National Security Policy: Past, Present, and Prospects
AN  - 58820743; 2008-256329
AB  - The Bush Administration has outlined a strategy of "tailored deterrence" to define the role that nuclear weapons play in US national security policy. There has been little discussion of this concept, either in Congress or in the public at large, and this leaves unanswered questions about how this strategy differs from US nuclear strategy during the Cold War and how it might advise decisions about the size and structure of the US nuclear arsenal.

AB  - Since 1995, the US has provided North Korea with over 1.2 billion dollars in assistance, about 60% of which has paid for food aid and about 40% for energy assistance, but US aid fell significantly in the mid-2000s, bottoming out at zero in 2006. The Bush Administration resumed energy aid in the fall of 2007, after progress was made in the Six-Party Talks over North Korea's nuclear program, but Pyongyang has resisted taking the steps that would help the country distribute food more equitably and has restricted monitoring activities -- possibly diverting food for resale in private markets or other uses.

AN  - 58805440; 2008-256180
AB  - A former colonial island trading and military outpost of the far-flung British Empire, the tiny Republic of Singapore has transformed itself into a modern Asian nation and a major player in the global economy, though it still largely restricts political freedoms in the name of maintaining economic growth. Singapore's heavy dependence on international trade makes regional stability and the free flow of goods and services essential to its existence; as a result, it is a firm supporter of both US international trade policy and the US security role in Asia, as well as the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

AB  - Many in Congress, the Bush Administration, and the non-governmental organization (NGO) community believe that the 110th Congress set the stage for action on foreign aid reform by the 111th Congress and the new Administration in 2009, but given the current economic crisis and budget constraints along with other major concerns, such as health care, energy policy, and global warming, some Members in the 111th Congress may prefer a continuation of the existing foreign aid structure. This report is a review of selected studies concerning foreign aid and foreign affairs budgets between 2001 and 2008. Tables, Appendixes.

AB  - The Federal Reserve defines monetary policy as the actions it undertakes to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote a stable price level and maximum sustainable economic growth. Since the expectations of market participants help determine prices and growth, monetary policy can also be defined to include the directives, policies, statements, and actions of the Federal Reserve that influence how the future is perceived; and the Federal Reserve is a "lender of last resort" to the nation's financial system -- making it of great importance with the onset of the financial crisis in the summer of 2007.

Current US concerns in Lebanon include strengthening its weak democratic institutions, limiting the influence of Iran and Syria in Lebanon's political process, and disarming Hezbollah and other militant groups in Lebanon.

T1  - Operation Iraqi Freedom: Strategies, Approaches, Results, and Issues for Congress
AN  - 58808766; 2008-256149
AB  - Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was launched in March 2003, with the immediate goal of removing Saddam Hussein's regime and destroying its ability to use weapons of mass destruction or to make them available to terrorists; but over time, the focus shifted to the mission of helping the Government of Iraq improve security, establish a system of governance, and foster economic development. This report is designed to provide an assessment of current OIF developments, in the context of relevant background, in order to support congressional consideration of these short-term and long-term strategy and policy issues.

T1  - Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Concerns in Agricultural Trade
AN  - 58801114; 2008-256151
AB  - Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures refer to any of the laws, rules, standards, and procedures that governments employ to protect humans, other animals, and plants from diseases, pests, toxins, and other contaminants. Although US WTO officials frequently cite the benefits of SPS cooperation under trade agreements, some, among them food safety and environmental advocacy organizations, have feared a "downward harmonization" rather than upgraded health and safety standards -- while defenders counter that trade rules explicitly recognize the right of individual nations to enact stronger protections than international guidelines.

T1  - Rapid analysis of iodinated X-ray contrast media in secondary and tertiary treated wastewater by direct injection liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
AN  - 69823048; 18980771
AB  - The iodinated X-ray contrast media are the most widely administered intravascular pharmaceuticals and are known to persist in the aquatic environment. A rapid method using direct injection liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (DI-LC-MS/MS) has been developed to measure eight ICM. These include iopamidol, iothalamic acid, diatrizoic acid, iohexol, iomeprol, iopromide, plus both ioxaglic acid and iodipamide, which have not previously reported in the literature. The LC-MS/MS fragmentation patterns obtained for each of the compounds are discussed and the fragments lost for each transition are identified. Matrix effects in post-RO water, MQ water, tap water and secondary effluent have also been investigated. The DI-LC-MS/MS method was validated on both secondary and tertiary treated wastewater, and applied to samples from an advanced activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and a water recycling facility using microfiltration (MF) and reverse osmosis (RO) in Perth, Western Australia. As well as providing information of the efficacy for RO to remove specific ICM, these results also represent the first values of ICM published in the literature for Australia.

T1  - Veterans Affairs: Benefits for Service-Connected Disabilities
AN  - 58797724; 2008-256152
AB  - The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers disability compensation, which is a monthly cash benefit program for veterans currently impaired from past service-connected activities. The 110th Congress increased the 2009 monthly disability compensation payments by providing veterans a cost-of-living (COLA) for their VA benefits equal to the COLA for Social Security benefits (5.8%) (P.L. 110-430) and considered additional legislation that may affect service-connected disabilities.

T1  - U.S. Oil Exports
AN  - 58804654; 2008-256163
AB  - Concern about exports of US crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel and home heating oil periodically draws Congressional attention to the level of these exports, recently observed to increase from 1.4 million barrels daily (MBD) in 2007, to nearly 1.9 mbd during January-September 2008. Some policymakers have suggested that prohibiting oil exports would lower prices, but restrictions on exports might, in fact, create inefficiencies in the movement of world oil supplies that could foster less optimal distribution of oil and possibly lead to higher prices in some markets.

T1  - The National Security Council: An Organizational Assessment
AN  - 58801951; 2008-256155
AB  - The National Security Council (NSC) was established by statute in 1947 to create an interdepartmental body to offer confidential advice to the President on all aspects of national security policy. This report traces the evolution of the NSC from its creation to the present and observes that some argue that the NSC should be broadened to reflect an expanding role of economic, environmental, and demographic issues in national security policymaking.

AN  - 58808608; 2008-256327
AB  - US officials continue to assert that the US food supply, including the portion provided through imports, is among the safest in the world. One challenge has been how to keep it safe in the face of steadily rising imports, a result of globalization and consumer desire for a wider variety of foods year-round, and this issue was the focus of numerous congressional hearings and bills in the 110th Congress and is expected to be high on the policy agenda of the 111th Congress.

T1  - Climate Change: Action by States to Address Greenhouse Gas Emissions
AN  - 58805335; 2008-256150
AB  - In the absence of a federal climate change program, a number of states have taken actions that directly address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although much of the early activity was largely symbolic, the more recent state actions have been more aggressive; and 23 states have joined one of the three regional partnerships that would require GHG (or just carbon dioxide) emission reductions.

AB  - In October 2008, the forces of the National Congress for the Defense of the Congolese People (CNDP) launched a major offensive against the Democratic Republic of Congo Armed Forces (FARDC) in eastern Congo. The root causes of the crisis are the presence of over a dozen militia and extremist groups, both foreign and Congolese, in eastern Congo, and the failure to fully implement peace agreements signed by the parties. The US has been actively engaged in facilitating the Tripartite Plus talks among the four key players in the Great Lakes region: Rwanda, DRC, Burundi, and Uganda. Figures.

T1  - Social anxiety and the severity and typography of stuttering in adolescents
AN  - 85354747; llba-200907919
AB  - The present study examined the relationship between anxiety, attitude toward daily communication, and stuttering symptomatology in adolescent stuttering. Adolescents who stuttered (n = 19) showed significantly higher levels of trait, state and social anxiety than fluent speaking controls (n = 18). Trait and state anxiety was significantly associated with difficulty with communication in daily situations for adolescents who stutter, but not for controls. No statistically significant associations were found between anxiety and measures of communication difficulty, and the severity or typography of stuttering surface behaviours. These results highlight some of the psychosocial concomitants of chronic stuttering in adolescence, but challenge the notion that anxiety plays a direct mediating role in stuttering surface behaviours. Rather, the results suggest stuttering is a disorder that features psychosocial conflict regardless of its surface features. Educational objectives The reader will be able to: (1) summarise findings from previous studies with regards to stuttering and anxiety; (2) identify the sub-types of anxiety that may impact on the individual who stutters; and (3) discuss the clinical implications of the results with regards to working with adolescents who stutter.

AN  - 66715017; 19527849
AB  - The current article describes a patient with acute, massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding from isolated gastric varices. The patient had a large gastrosystemic shunt and was managed with a combination of splenic artery embolization followed by balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous occlusion (BORTO) of the gastric varices. BORTO is a procedure that was recently described in Japan by Dr Kanagawa. This technique is extensively used in Japan as first-line therapy in the management of bleeding gastric varices but has not been popularized in the USA. The purpose of this review is to present the technique used to perform BORTO at our institution and the clinical situations in which we offer this option to our patients.

T1  - The Hairlessness Norm Extended: Reasons for and Predictors of Women's Body Hair Removal at Different Body Sites
AN  - 61768296; 200924149
AB  - The study aimed to explore the motivations behind and predictors of the practice of body hair removal among women. A sample of 235 Australian female undergraduate students completed questionnaires asking about the frequency and reasons for body hair removal, as well as measures of media exposure. It was confirmed that the vast majority (approximately 96%) regularly remove their leg and underarm hair, most frequently by shaving, and attribute this to femininity and attractiveness reasons. A sizeable proportion (60%) also removed at least some of their pubic hair, with 48% removing most or all of it. Here the attributions were relatively more to sexual attractiveness and self-enhancement. Further, having a partner and exposure to particular forms of media predicted pubic hair removal. It was concluded that pubic hair removal is currently different in connotation from leg or underarm hair, but is likely to be on the increase. It can only further the belief that women's bodies are unacceptable the way they are. Adapted from the source document.

AN  - 61724353; 200909894
AB  - This article examines two modalities of law, depicted spatially as the vertical & the horizontal. The intellectual background for seeing law in vertical & horizontal dimensions is to be found in much socio-legal scholarship. These approaches have challenged the modernist, legal positivist & essentially vertical view of law as a system of imperatives emanating from a hierarchically superior source such as a sovereign. In keeping with the socio-legal critical tradition, but approaching it from the perspective of legal philosophy, my aim is to address three matters. First, why is vertical law problematic for feminists? Second, what are the theoretical characteristics of law in its horizontal register? Third, how is an appreciation of this 'flat' law useful for feminist legal theory & practice? In particular, I consider the ways in which feminist legal theory operating in the horizontal dimension can transgress, without transcending, the vertically determined perimeters of the nation state.

T1  - The Australian funding debate on quadrivalent HPV vaccine: A case study for the national pharmaceutical policy
AN  - 57285191; 200907400
AB  - Objectives To analyse the media and political reactions to the initial decision of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) to reject funding of the quadrivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine in Australia. Methods A case study, informed by media reports and government documents, was utilised to examine the reactions of key stakeholders; PBAC, consumers, consumer organisations, pharmaceutical industry, politicians, health professionals and the media to the initial decision to reject funding of HPV vaccine. Results The initial decision to reject funding of the HPV vaccine led to unprecedented public response with over 300 newspaper articles and calls by consumers, health professionals and politicians to intervene in the decision making process. Misunderstanding of the decision making process, particularly cost-effectiveness assessments, the need for an independent process, the legislated inability of a timely and transparent response from policy makers and the lack of a risk mitigation strategy all played a role in the public outcry. Conclusions Despite 15 years of implementation of cost-effectiveness assessments there is still a need for improving stakeholder understanding of the decision making process and for timely transfer of complete information. Risk mitigation strategies should be considered as part of the communication plan for all decisions. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Metacognition, working memory, and thought suppression in acute stress disorder
AN  - 57284038; 200907101
AB  - The present study examined factors hypothesised to be related to thought suppression ability in a sample of acutely traumatised individuals (N= 56) with and without acute stress disorder (ASD; non-ASD). Participants' ability to suppress thoughts of their traumatic experience and a neutral stimulus was tested, and working memory ability, fluid and crystallised intelligence were assessed. Participants also completed self-report measures of mood, acute stress symptoms, trauma-related cognitions and suppression tendency. As expected, ASD participants experienced difficulty in suppressing memories of their traumatic experience. Contrary to prediction, working memory performance was not related to intrusion frequency during suppression, and inconsistent findings were observed in terms of trauma-related beliefs. These findings are discussed in terms of cognitive factors that may be associated with thought suppression ability and the implications for understanding intrusive cognition in post-traumatic stress disorders.

T1  - The Dietary Guideline with Great Therapeutic Potential
AN  - 57277586; 200901155
AB  - Prescribing "salt restriction" for patients with salt-related health problems-using diets measuring sodium content and portion sizes-has been notoriously unpopular and unreliable, and the only therapeutic alternative has been to prescribe diuretics. This article reports a new observation that total salt intake is low enough (sodium < 50 mmol/day) to be more effective and less troublesome than diuretics in people who follow the Australian dietary guideline to choose food low in salt while using the definition of low salt foods in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (Na <,120 mg/100g). Low salt foods-eaten exclusively during human evolution-can usually abolish the severe vertigo of Meniere's disorder as the sole treatment, and reverse the universal rise of blood pressure with age, preventing hypertension. This simple prescription for better food (a healthier salt intake) enables health professionals to obtain measurable and permanent clinical improvement in motivated patients. The full public health potential of better food will require a long period of gradual reform in food processing and the evolution of a new cuisine. Shoppers must know what they are buying, and Australia needs Britain's traffic light labels that identify low salt foods at a glance with green lights for salt. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - A randomised trial investigating guided self-help to reduce perfectionism and its impact on bulimia nervosa: A pilot study
AN  - 57276093; 200904953
AB  - Aim The purpose of the present study was to evaluate reducing perfectionism as a potential treatment target for individuals with Bulimia Nervosa (BN). Method Forty-eight individuals meeting DSM-IV criteria for BN or eating disorder - not otherwise specified with binge eating [objective or subjective] or purging at least once per week were recruited. Participants were randomly assigned to receive 8 sessions of manual-based guided self-help (GSH) over a 6-week period that was focused on either cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for perfectionism, CBT for BN, or a placebo. Individuals were assessed at baseline, pre-treatment, post-treatment and at six-month follow-up on 12 outcome variables, including diagnostic criteria and psychological variables. Results There was no significant change in any of the outcome variables over a 6-week no-treatment period but at post-treatment and 6-month follow-up there were significant main effects of time for 10 and 8 outcome variables respectively, suggesting that all groups reported significant reductions in bulimic symptomatology and related psychopathology at post-treatment and follow-up. Conclusions These findings show potential for the use of novel interventions in GSH for BN. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Ltd.]

The current paper reports on a preliminary study, applying MCT in a clinical group setting with eight adults suffering from a variety of OCD presentations. Promising results indicate a larger randomised controlled trial, with recovery achieved for seven of the eight participants on the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale at 3-month follow-up.

T1  - Women's experiences of using a Snoezelen room during labour in Western Australia
AN  - 57271319; 200903807
AB  - Objective to explore women's experience of using a Snoezelen room during their labour. Design a qualitative exploratory design was conducted to provide insight into the phenomenon of using a Snoezelen room for labouring women and to identify factors that could facilitate or inhibit use of this environment. The constant comparison method modified from the grounded theory methodology was used to analyse data from in-depth interviews. Setting Osborne Park Hospital, the second largest public provider of obstetric services in Western Australia, was the study setting. Participants sixteen women, recruited from July 2005 to June 2006, agreed to participate in an in-depth interview and share their experience of using the Snoezelen room during a recent labour. Findings six themes were extracted from the data providing insight into what a Snoezelen environment can offer a labouring woman: distraction; relaxation; comfort; environmental control; choice of complementary therapies; and safety in a home-like atmosphere. Additional categories revealed factors that facilitated and/or detracted use of the room such as familiarity with features, being offered information and choice, timing in labour, the support person's response and working order of the room's features. Implications for practice when sharing their experience, women focused upon the process of their labour and how they managed this process rather than specific outcomes such as analgesic used or type of birth. Although outcomes such as type of birth may not have been their preferred choice, these women were able to achieve satisfaction with how they managed their labour while in the Snoezelen room. This midwifery-led initiative contributed to these women's labour experiences, by offering a combination of complementary therapies within the safety of a hospital environment.

AB  - The Eberhard Wenzel Memorial Oration was established in honour of the memory of Eberhaed Wenzel (1950-2001), an inspiring Australian advocate for health promotion for more then 20 years, The oration has become an annual event in conferences held by the Australian Health promotion Association for the past seven years, Just before he died, Eberhard was nominated for an award and the following is a quote from the nomination. "Eberhard has maintained the best public health website in the world and has supported, through his email list, communications between many different parts of the public health community around the world he has sifted and sorted through a drift of chaff and sieved but the critical and relevant and passed it on through multiple mixed networks. He has editorialized with insight, kindness and the occasional blowtorch. Eberhard has contributed to warmer, firmer, closer forms of solidarity between different members of the family, in particular through his work with indigenous people. His work is characterised by a passion for justice and a fair go and intolerance for hypocrisy and guile.". Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Mortality in the Medicare Population and Chronic Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution in Urban Centers (2000-2005)
AN  - 21180444; 11399602
AB  - BACKGROUND: Prospective cohort studies constitute the major source of evidence about the mortality effects of chronic exposure to particulate air pollution. Additional studies are needed to provide evidence on the health effects of chronic exposure to particulate matter or = 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) because few studies have been carried out and the cohorts have not been representative. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to estimate the relative risk of death associated with long-term exposure to PM(2.5) by region and age groups in a U.S. population of elderly, for the period 2000-2005. METHODS: By linking PM(2.5) monitoring data to the Medicare billing claims by ZIP code of residence of the enrollees, we have developed a new retrospective cohort study, the Medicare Cohort Air Pollution Study. The study population comprises 13.2 million participants living in 4,568 ZIP codes having centroids within 6 miles of a PM(2.5) monitor. We estimated relative risks adjusted by socioeconomic status and smoking by fitting log-linear regression models. RESULTS: In the eastern and central regions, a 10-microg/m(3) increase in 6-year average of PM(2.5) is associated with 6.8% [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.9-8.7%] and 13.2% (95% CI, 9.5-16.9) increases in mortality, respectively. We found no evidence of an association in the western region or for persons or = 85 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: We established a cohort of Medicare participants for investigating air pollution and mortality on longer-term time frames. Chronic exposure to PM(2.5) was associated with mortality in the eastern and central regions, but not in the western United States.

T1  - Hormone Disruption by PBDEs in Adult Male Sport Fish Consumers
AN  - 21180409; 11399598
AB  - BACKGROUND: Persistent pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), affect endocrine function. Human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are similar in structure to PCBs, has increased recently, but health effects have not been well studied. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this study was to determine whether PBDE body burdens are related to thyroid and steroid hormone levels, thyroid antibodies, and thyroid disease in a cohort of frequent and infrequent adult male sport fish consumers. METHODS: We tested serum from 405 adult males for PBDE congeners, PCB congeners, testosterone, sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), SHBG-bound testosterone, thyroglobulin antibodies, and the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T(4)), triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and T(4)-binding globulin (TBG). We collected data on demographics, fish consumption, medical diseases, and medication use. RESULTS: The median sum of PBDEs was 38 ng/g lipid. In 308 men without thyroid disease or diabetes, PBDEs were positively related to measures of T(4) and reverse T(3) and inversely related to total T(3) and TSH. PBDEs were positively related to the percentage of T(4) bound to albumin, and inversely related to the percentage of T(4) bound to TBG. Associations of BDE congeners with hormones varied. BDE-47 was positively associated with testosterone levels. Participants with PBDEs over the 95th percentile were more likely to have thyroglobulin antibodies, although high PBDE exposure was not associated with thyroid disease. PBDE effects were independent of PCB exposure and sport fish consumption. CONCLUSIONS: PBDE exposure, at levels comparable with those of the general U.S. population, was associated with increased thyroglobulin antibodies and increased T(4) in adult males.

T1  - Speciation of Arsenic in Exfoliated Urinary Bladder Epithelial Cells from Individuals Exposed to Arsenic in Drinking Water
AN  - 21180291; 11399596
AB  - BACKGROUND: The concentration of arsenic in urine has been used as a marker of exposure to inorganic As (iAs). Relative proportions of urinary metabolites of iAs have been identified as potential biomarkers of susceptibility to iAs toxicity. However, the adverse effects of iAs exposure are ultimately determined by the concentrations of iAs metabolites in target tissues. OBJECTIVE: In this study we examined the feasibility of analyzing As species in cells that originate in the urinary bladder, a target organ for As-induced cancer in humans. METHODS: Exfoliated bladder epithelial cells (BECs) were collected from urine of 21 residents of Zimapan, Mexico, who were exposed to iAs in drinking water. We determined concentrations of iAs, methyl-As (MAs), and dimethyl-As (DMAs) in urine using conventional hydride generation-cryotrapping-atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-CT-AAS). We used an optimized HG-CT-AAS technique with detection limits of 12-17 pg As for analysis of As species in BECs. RESULTS: All urine samples and 20 of 21 BEC samples contained detectable concentrations of iAs, MAs, and DMAs. Sums of concentrations of these As species in BECs ranged from 0.18 to 11.4 ng As/mg protein and in urine from 4.8 to 1,947 ng As/mL. We found no correlations between the concentrations or ratios of As species in BECs and in urine. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that urinary levels of iAs metabolites do not necessarily reflect levels of these metabolites in the bladder epithelium. Thus, analysis of As species in BECs may provide a more effective tool for risk assessment of bladder cancer and other urothelial diseases associated with exposures to iAs.

T1  - Endothelial Dysfunction: Associations with Exposure to Ambient Fine Particles in Diabetic Individuals
AN  - 21178811; 11399594
AB  - BACKGROUND: Exposure to fine airborne particulate matter [ or =2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5))] has been associated with cardiovascular and hematologic effects, especially in older people with cardiovascular disease. Some epidemiologic studies suggest that adults with diabetes also may be a particularly susceptible population. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to analyze the short-term effects of ambient PM(2.5) on markers of endothelial function in diabetic volunteers. METHODS: We conducted a prospective panel study in 22 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (USA), from November 2004 to December 2005. We acquired daily measurements of PM(2.5) and meteorologic data at central monitoring sites. On 4 consecutive days, we measured endothelial function by brachial artery ultrasound in all participants and by pulsewave measurements in a subgroup. Data were analyzed using additive mixed models with a random participant effect and adjusted for season, day of the week, and meteorology. RESULTS: Flow-mediated dilatation decreased in association with PM(2.5) during the first 24 hr, whereas small-artery elasticity index decreased with a delay of 1 and 3 days. These PM(2.5)-associated decrements in endothelial function were greater among participants with a high body mass index, high glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, low adiponectin, or the null polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase M1. However, high levels of myeloperoxidase on the examination day led to strongest effects on endothelial dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate that PM(2.5) exposure may cause immediate endothelial dysfunction. Clinical characteristics associated with insulin resistance were associated with enhanced effects of PM on endothelial function. In addition, participants with greater oxidative potential seem to be more susceptible.

T1  - Chronic Exposure to Ambient Ozone and Asthma Hospital Admissions among Children
AN  - 21174562; 11399523
AB  - BACKGROUND: The association between chronic exposure to air pollution and adverse health outcomes has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: This project investigated the impact of chronic exposure to high ozone levels on childhood asthma admissions in New York State. METHODS: We followed a birth cohort born in New York State during 1995-1999 to first asthma admission or until 31 December 2000. We identified births and asthma admissions through the New York State Integrated Child Health Information System and linked these data with ambient ozone data (8-hr maximum) from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. We defined chronic ozone exposure using three indicators: mean concentration during the follow-up period, mean concentration during the ozone season, and proportion of follow-up days with ozone levels 70 ppb. We performed logistic regression analysis to adjust for child's age, sex, birth weight, and gestational age; maternal race/ethnicity, age, education, insurance status, smoking during pregnancy, and poverty level; and geographic region, temperature, and co-pollutants. RESULTS: Asthma admissions were significantly associated with increased ozone levels for all chronic exposure indicators (odds ratios, 1.16-1.68), with a positive dose-response relationship. We found stronger associations among younger children, low sociodemographic groups, and New York City residents as effect modifiers. CONCLUSION: Chronic exposure to ambient ozone may increase the risk of asthma admissions among children. Younger children and those in low socioeconomic groups have a greater risk of asthma than do other children at the same ozone level.

T1  - G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 30 and Estrogen Receptor-[alpha] Are Involved in the Proliferative Effects Induced by Atrazine in Ovarian Cancer Cells
AN  - 21174535; 11399514
AB  - BACKGROUND: Atrazine, one of the most common pesticide contaminants, has been shown to up-regulate aromatase activity in certain estrogen-sensitive tumors without binding or activating the estrogen receptor (ER). Recent investigations have demonstrated that the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), which is structurally unrelated to the ER, mediates rapid actions of 17beta-estradiol and environmental estrogens. OBJECTIVES: Given the ability of atrazine to exert estrogen-like activity in cancer cells, we evaluated the potential of atrazine to signal through GPR30 in stimulating biological responses in cancer cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: Atrazine did not transactivate the endogenous ERalpha in different cancer cell contexts or chimeric proteins encoding the ERalpha and ERbeta hormone-binding domain in gene reporter assays. Moreover, atrazine neither regulated the expression of ERalpha nor stimulated aromatase activity. Interestingly, atrazine induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and the expression of estrogen target genes. Using specific signaling inhibitors and gene silencing, we demonstrated that atrazine stimulated the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells through the GPR30-epidermal growth factor receptor transduction pathway and the involvement of ERalpha. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate a novel mechanism through which atrazine may exert relevant biological effects in cancer cells. On the basis of the present data, atrazine should be included among the environmental contaminants potentially able to signal via GPR30 in eliciting estrogenic action.

T1  - Respiratory Cancer and Inhaled Inorganic Arsenic in Copper Smelters Workers: A Linear Relationship with Cumulative Exposure that Increases with Concentration
AN  - 21173310; 11399595
AB  - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of high levels of airborne inorganic arsenic is a recognized cause of respiratory cancer. Although multiple epidemiologic studies have demonstrated this association, there have been few analyses of the mathematical relationship between cumulative arsenic exposure and risk of respiratory cancer, and no assessment as to whether and how arsenic concentration may modify this association. OBJECTIVES: The objective is an evaluation of the shape of the relationship between respiratory cancer mortality and cumulative inhaled arsenic exposure among copper smelter workers, and the modification of that relationship by arsenic concentration. METHODS: We used Poisson regression methods to analyze data from a cohort of arsenic-exposed copper smelter workers under a linear-exponential model for the excess relative risk. RESULTS: Within categories of arsenic concentration, the association between respiratory cancer and cumulative arsenic exposure was consistent with linearity. The slope of the linear relationship with cumulative exposure increased with increasing arsenic concentration category. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested a direct concentration effect from inhaled inorganic arsenic, whereby the excess relative risk for a fixed cumulative exposure was greater when delivered at a higher concentration and shorter duration than when delivered at a lower concentration and longer duration.

T1  - A Framework for Widespread Replication of a Highly Spatially Resolved Childhood Lead Exposure Risk Model
AN  - 21173290; 11399585
AB  - BACKGROUND: Preventive approaches to childhood lead poisoning are critical for addressing this longstanding environmental health concern. Moreover, increasing evidence of cognitive effects of blood lead levels 10 microg/dL highlights the need for improved exposure prevention interventions. OBJECTIVES: Geographic information system-based childhood lead exposure risk models, especially if executed at highly resolved spatial scales, can help identify children most at risk of lead exposure, as well as prioritize and direct housing and health-protective intervention programs. However, developing highly resolved spatial data requires labor-and time-intensive geocoding and analytical processes. In this study we evaluated the benefit of increased effort spent geocoding in terms of improved performance of lead exposure risk models. METHODS: We constructed three childhood lead exposure risk models based on established methods but using different levels of geocoded data from blood lead surveillance, county tax assessors, and the 2000 U.S. Census for 18 counties in North Carolina. We used the results to predict lead exposure risk levels mapped at the individual tax parcel unit. RESULTS: The models performed well enough to identify high-risk areas for targeted intervention, even with a relatively low level of effort on geocoding. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the feasibility of widespread replication of highly spatially resolved childhood lead exposure risk models. The models guide resource-constrained local health and housing departments and community-based organizations on how best to expend their efforts in preventing and mitigating lead exposure risk in their communities.

T1  - Acute Toxicity and Prothrombotic Effects of Quantum Dots: Impact of Surface Charge
AN  - 21152601; 11399601
AB  - BACKGROUND: Quantum dots (QDs) have numerous possible applications for in vivo imaging. However, toxicity data are scarce. OBJECTIVES: To determine the acute in vivo toxicity of QDs with carboxyl surface coating (carboxyl-QDs) and QDs with amine surface coating (amine-QDs), we investigated the inflammatory properties, tissue distribution, and prothrombotic effects after intravenous injection. METHODS: We performed particle characterization by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Carboxyl-QDs and amine-QDs were intravenously injected in mice (1.44-3,600 pmol/mouse). At different time intervals, analyses included fluorescence microscopy, blood cell analysis, bronchoalveolar lavage, wet and dry organ weights, and cadmium concentration in various organs. We examined the prothrombotic effects in vivo by assessing the effect of pretreatment with the anticoagulant heparin and by measuring platelet activation (P-selectin), and in vitro by platelet aggregation in murine and human platelet-rich plasma exposed to QDs (1.44-1,620 pmol/mL). RESULTS: At doses of 3,600 and 720 pmol/mouse, QDs caused marked vascular thrombosis in the pulmonary circulation, especially with carboxyl-QDs. We saw an effect of surface charge for all the parameters tested. QDs were mainly found in lung, liver, and blood. Thrombotic complications were abolished, and P-selectin was not affected by pretreatment of the animals with heparin. In vitro, carboxyl-QDs and amine-QDs enhanced adenosine-5'-diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. CONCLUSION: At high doses, QDs caused pulmonary vascular thrombosis, most likely by activating the coagulation cascade via contact activation. Our study highlights the need for careful safety evaluation of QDs before their use in human applications. Furthermore, it is clear that surface charge is an important parameter in nanotoxicity.

T1  - Depression and Pesticide Exposures among Private Pesticide Applicators Enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study
AN  - 21150181; 11399587
AB  - BACKGROUND: We evaluated the relationship between diagnosed depression and pesticide exposure using information from private pesticide applicators enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study between 1993 and 1997 in Iowa and North Carolina. METHODS: There were 534 cases who self-reported a physician-diagnosed depression and 17,051 controls who reported never having been diagnosed with depression and did not feel depressed more than once a week in the past year. Lifetime pesticide exposure was categorized in three mutually exclusive groups: low ( 226 days, the reference group), intermediate (226-752 days), and high ( 752 days). Two additional measures represented acute high-intensity pesticide exposures: an unusually high pesticide exposure event (HPEE) and physician-diagnosed pesticide poisoning. Logistic regression analyses were performed relating pesticide exposure to depression. RESULTS: After adjusting for state, age, education, marital status, doctor visits, alcohol use, smoking, solvent exposure, not currently having crops or animals, and ever working a job off the farm, pesticide poisoning was more strongly associated with depression [odds ratio (OR) = 2.57; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.74-3.79] than intermediate (OR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.87-1.31) or high (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 0.87-1.42) cumulative exposure or an HPEE (OR = 1.65; 95% CI, 1.33-2.05). In analysis of a subgroup without a history of acute poisoning, high cumulative exposure was significantly associated with depression (OR = 1.54; 95% CI, 1.16-2.04). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that both acute high-intensity and cumulative pesticide exposure may contribute to depression in pesticide applicators. Our study is unique in reporting that depression is also associated with chronic pesticide exposure in the absence of a physician-diagnosed poisoning.

T1  - Simultaneous prediction of toxicity of multiple chemicals to multiple species using multi-dimensional functional relationships
AN  - 21106011; 11136693
AB  - A theoretical model is developed for the estimation of the toxicity of a large number of chemicals to a group of species for which the log-toxicity values have strong linear relationships. The model is a multi-dimensional functional relationship (FR) that allows for many missing values. It depends on an unobserved variate (denoted by in the text), with a value for each chemical; for each species, the expectations of the log-toxicity values are each linearly related to . There are worthwhile gains in multi-dimensional over the two-dimensional FRs hitherto used. The model is applied to data on the toxicity of 51 chemicals to 10 species. It allows for species to have unequal variance about their expectations. There is good prediction of log-toxicity from measurements on other species where only 30% of the combinations were measured even when the taxa are not closely related. Among the uses for this technique are (i) to predict toxicity for combinations of species and chemicals that have not been measured, (ii) to suggest a suitable range of concentrations for a new bioassay, (iii) identifying specificity, that is, chemicals that have a different relative toxicity for a particular species.

T1  - HLA-A2-restricted CTL epitopes of a novel lung cancer-associated cancer testis antigen, cell division cycle associated 1, can induce tumor-reactive CTL
AN  - 20628620; 9355947
AB  - Toward the development of a novel cancer immunotherapy, we have previously identified several tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and the epitopes recognized by human histocompatibility leukocyte (HLA)-A2/A24-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). In this study, we tried to identify a TAA of lung cancer (LC) and its HLA-A2 restricted CTL epitopes to provide a target antigen useful for cancer immunotherapy of LC. We identified a novel cancer testis antigen, cell division cycle associated gene 1 (CDCA1), overexpressed in nonsmall cell LC using a cDNA microarray analysis. The expression levels of CDCA1 were also increased in the majority of small cell LC, cholangiocellular cancer, urinary bladder cancer and renal cell cancers. We used HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice to identify the HLA-A2 (A*0201)-restricted CDCA1 epitopes recognized by mouse CTL, and we investigated whether these peptides could induce CDCA1-reactive CTLs from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of HLA-A2-positive donors and a NSCLC patient. Consequently, we found that the CDCA165-73 (YMMPVNSEV) peptide and CDCA1351-359 (KLATAQFKI) peptide could induce peptide-reactive CTLs in HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice. In HLA-A2+ donors, in vitro stimulation of PBMC with these peptides could induce peptide-reactive CTLs which killed tumor cell lines endogenously expressing both HLA-A2 and CDCA1. As a result, CDCA1 is a novel cancer-testis antigen overexpressed in LC, cholangiocellular cancer, urinary bladder cancer and renal cell cancers, and CDCA1 may therefore be an ideal TAA useful for the diagnosis and immunotherapy of these cancers.

T1  - The Spatial Organisation of Women's Soccer in Adelaide: Another Tale of Spatial Inequality?
AN  - 20307086; 8908356
AB  - AbstractAlthough sport is considered an important component of Australian society and a precious vehicle of social interaction, sports geography remains in many ways a neglected field of investigation. Nevertheless, geographical studies of sports can add valuable insights to more acknowledged geographical discourses. They can also contribute to regional sporting success. This paper analyses the current spatial organisation of women's soccer in Adelaide and outlines the unequal spatial expression of its recent professionally-oriented approach, the achievement phase. A significant proportion of Adelaide's female population experiences limited opportunity to participate fully in the sport. The sport therefore fails to maximise its human resources and its spatial organisation constitutes a limit to the competitiveness of South Australian women's soccer as a system. The paper uses the concept of social capital to explore the unequal engagement of four sub-regions in women's soccer. Many of the areas experiencing relative exclusion from women's soccer are the same ones that suffer the most from disengagement from the global economy. In those areas, socio-economic disadvantage is matched by limited opportunities for self-fulfilment through sport, and the effectiveness of social networks is weaker. This work aims to provide information for South Australian women's soccer institutions to foster enhanced equity in terms of access to the sport in metropolitan Adelaide. It also provides a base from which to investigate the reasons behind sub-regional differences in the ability to produce quality players, knowledge that, if applied to these less productive areas, may contribute to the general enhancement of overall sporting outcomes.

T1  - Molecular systematics of social skinks: phylogeny and taxonomy of the Egernia group (Reptilia: Scincidae)
AN  - 20299111; 8917617
AB  - The lizards of the Egernia group of Australia and Melanesia include some of the most distinctive members of the family Scincidae in morphology (including giant size, spinose scalation), ecology and behaviour. Social behaviour, including long-term recognition of individuals and kin, mate fidelity and home site fidelity, is amongst the most complex known in squamate reptiles and is the subject of an expanding number of studies. Lack of a sound phylogeny for the Egernia group has limited our ability to understand the evolution and patterns of variation in social behaviour within this group, and evidence for the monophyly of the largest genus, Egernia (64% of the species), has been lacking. We present data derived from nucleotide sequences that establish a phylogenetic framework for the Egernia group. We used two mitochondrial sequences, the protein-encoding ND4 gene and a ribosomal gene, 12s rRNA, and two nuclear sequences, the protein-encoding c-mos, and non-encoding intron 7 of beta -fibrinogen. Our phylogenetic analyses show that Corucia of the Solomon Islands is the sister group of the rest of the Egernia group. The genus Egernia is paraphyletic, including four well-supported monophyletic units, one of which is the sister lineage of the Tiliqua lineage (Tiliqua plus Cyclodomorphus). We suggest a revised taxonomic scheme that recognizes the major monophyletic lineages in Egernia (s.l.) as distinct genera.[copy 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 154, 781-794.

T1  - Post-Translational Modifications of the Endogenous and Transgenic FLC Protein in Arabidopsis thaliana
AN  - 20273781; 8921115
AB  - FLC is a MADS box transcription factor that acts as a dosage-dependent repressor of flowering. We carried out a 2D gel analysis and showed that the majority of endogenous FLC and overexpressed FLC-FLAG proteins are post-translationally modified. The endogenous and transgenic proteins have different floral repressor activities; however, they have similar, if not the same, profiles of post-translational modifications. The protein modification profile was also not changed by vernalization treatment. The activities of other MADS box proteins have been shown to be affected by phosphorylation and we found that both the endogenous FLC and the transgenic FLC-FLAG protein are phosphorylated. When eight potential serine kinase target sites in FLC were changed to mimic phosphorylated residues, expression of the mutant FLC-FLAG protein led to early flowering, suggesting that the repressive function was abolished. When the same eight serine residues were changed to non-phosphorylatable residues, expression of the resulting protein gave the same weak flowering repression as overexpressed unmodified FLC-FLAG. The non-phosphorylatable variant of FLC-FLAG showed a similar spectrum of post-translational modifications to unmodified FLC-FLAG, indicating that modifications other than the predicted phosphorylations occur. Our data provide evidence for a post-translational regulation of FLC function.

T1  - Conservation and Adaptation to Climate Change
AN  - 20270197; 8908920
AB  - Abstract:The need to adapt to climate change has become increasingly apparent, and many believe the practice of biodiversity conservation will need to alter to face this challenge. Conservation organizations are eager to determine how they should adapt their practices to climate change. This involves asking the fundamental question of what adaptation to climate change means. Most studies on climate change and conservation, if they consider adaptation at all, assume it is equivalent to the ability of species to adapt naturally to climate change as stated in Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Adaptation, however, can refer to an array of activities that range from natural adaptation, at one end of the spectrum, to sustainability science in coupled human and natural systems at the other. Most conservation organizations deal with complex systems in which adaptation to climate change involves making decisions on priorities for biodiversity conservation in the face of dynamic risks and involving the public in these decisions. Discursive methods such as analytic deliberation are useful for integrating scientific knowledge with public perceptions and values, particularly when large uncertainties and risks are involved. The use of scenarios in conservation planning is a useful way to build shared understanding at the science-policy interface. Similarly, boundary organizations-organizations or institutions that bridge different scales or mediate the relationship between science and policy-could prove useful for managing the transdisciplinary nature of adaptation to climate change, providing communication and brokerage services and helping to build adaptive capacity. The fact that some nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are active across the areas of science, policy, and practice makes them well placed to fulfill this role in integrated assessments of biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change. Conservacion y Adaptacion al Cambio ClimaticoResumen:La necesidad de adaptarse al cambio climatico es cada vez mas aparente, y muchos creen que la practica de la conservacion de la biodiversidad tendra que alterarse para enfrentar este reto. Las organizaciones de conservacion tienen interes en determinar como deben adaptar sus practicas al cambio climatico. Esto implica responder la pregunta fundamental de lo que significa adaptacion al cambio climatico. La mayoria de los estudios sobre cambio climatico y conservacion, si acaso consideran la adaptacion, asumen que es equivalente a la habilidad de las especies a adaptarse naturalmente al cambio climatico en los terminos del Articulo 2 de la Convencion del Cambio Climatico de las Naciones Unidas. Sin embargo, adaptacion se puede referir a un conjunto de actividades que varian entre la adaptacion natural en un extremo del espectro, y ciencia de la sustentabilidad en sistemas naturales y humanos en el otro. La mayoria de las organizaciones de conservacion tratan con sistemas complejos en los que la adaptacion al cambio climatico implica la toma de decisiones sobre prioridades para la conservacion de la biodiversidad frente a riesgos dinamicos y el involucramiento del publico en estas decisiones. Los metodos discursivos como la deliberacion analitica son utiles para la integracion de conocimiento cientifico con las percepciones y valores del publico, particularmente cuando implican grandes riesgos e incertidumbres. El uso de escenarios en la planificacion de la conservacion es una forma util para construir el entendimiento de la interfase ciencia-politica. Similarmente, las organizaciones frontera - organizaciones o instituciones que unen escalas diferentes o que median la relacion entre la ciencia y la politica - podrian ser utiles para el manejo de la naturaleza transdisciplinaria de la adaptacion al cambio climatico, para proporcionar servicios de comunicacion y correduria y para ayudar a construir capacidad adaptativa. El hecho de que algunas organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) son activas en las areas de la ciencia, la politica y la practica las posiciona para desempenar este papel en evaluaciones integrales de conservacion de la biodiversidad y adaptacion al cambio climatico.

T1  - Macroeconomic Policy, Growth, and Biodiversity Conservation
AN  - 20269504; 8908903
AB  - Abstract:To successfully achieve biodiversity conservation, the amount of ecosystem structure available for economic production must be determined by, and subject to, conservation needs. As such, the scale of economic systems must remain within the limits imposed by the need to preserve critical ecosystems and the regenerative and waste assimilative capacities of the ecosphere. These limits are determined by biophysical criteria, yet macroeconomics involves the use of economic instruments designed to meet economic criteria that have no capacity to achieve biophysically based targets. Macroeconomic policy cannot, therefore, directly solve the biodiversity erosion crisis. Nevertheless, good macroeconomic policy is still important given that bad macroeconomy policy is likely to reduce human well-being and increase the likelihood of social upheaval that could undermine conservation efforts. Politica Macroeconomica, Crecimiento y Conservacion de la BiodiversidadResumen:Para lograr exito en la conservacion de la biodiversidad, la cantidad de estructura del ecosistema disponible para la produccion economica se debe determinar por, y estar sujeta a, las necesidades de conservacion. Como tal, la escala de sistemas economicos debe permanecer dentro de los limites impuestos por la necesidad de preservar ecosistemas criticos y por las capacidades regenerativas y de asimilacion de residuos de la ecosfera. Estos limites estan de determinados por criterios biofisicos, pero la macroeconomia implica el uso de instrumentos economicos disenados para cumplir criterios economicos que no tienen capacidad para alcanzar objetivos definidos biofisicamente. Por lo tanto, la politica macroeconomica no puede resolver la crisis de la erosion de la biodiversidad directamente. Sin embargo, una politica macroeconomica adecuada es importante debido a que es probable que una politica macroeconomica inadecuada reduzca el bienestar humano e incremente la posibilidad de levantamiento social que pudiera socavar los esfuerzos de conservacion.

T1  - New anti-tuberculosis drugs in clinical trials with novel mechanisms of action
AN  - 20266116; 8869411
AB  - Tuberculosis is a major health problem worldwide, with approximately 1.7 million people dying annually from the disease. The long current drug regimen, the emergence of drug resistant strains and HIV co-infection have resulted in a resurgence in research efforts to address the urgent need for new anti-tuberculosis drugs. A number of new potential anti-tuberculosis drug candidates with novel modes of action have entered clinical trials in recent years. These agents are most likely to be effective against resistant strains. We provide a concise review of their structure-activity relationships, in vitro and in vivo activity, pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action and combination regimens.

T1  - Coevolution with higher taxonomic host groups within the Puccinia/Uromyces rust lineage obscured by host jumps
AN  - 20053857; 8840271
AB  - Partial ss-tubulin 1 sequence data were obtained for 80 taxa of Pucciniaceae, with hosts from 33 angiosperm families, covering all major ordinal groups in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification. As in previous studies, most species of Puccinia and Uromyces fell into two main clades (I and II), with P. glechomatis and P. psidii excluded from Pucciniaceae. Results suggest two processes; a coevolution of and hosts in each clade, as well as associated frequent jumps to ecologically close, but taxonomically distant, hosts. Clade I contained all rusts on Cyperaceae and Juncaceae, and most rusts on host orders from rosids to euasterids II. Clade II contained all rusts on Poaceae, and most on host orders from monocots to core eudicots. In both main clades, several well-supported subclades were identified. The grouping in clade I, subclade E of rusts of Cyperaceae and Asteraceae and, in particular, of an Australian isolate of P. dioicae with rusts on Australian families of Asterales, suggested a local radiation, and supported the coevolutionary relationship between rusts on these two families seen with a different range of asteraceous rusts in the Northern Hemisphere. In clade I, two clades contained only rusts of Asteraceae and Fabaceae, respectively, and in clade, subclade F contained only rusts of pooid hosts. Rusts on non-pooid hosts were separated from them in subclade G. Other subclades contained a range of rusts on distantly related angiosperm families. Urediniospore morphology was often, but not always, correlated with the molecular phylogeny. Most rusts with urediniospores having few (1-5) equatorial germ pores were in clade I, whereas most with spores having several (5-14) scattered pores were in clade II. The distribution of telial host families on the ss-tubulin rust phylogeny was not random. Aecial hosts of heteroecious rusts played an important role in the evolutionary process. Possible examples of host jumps were seen in rusts on Geraniaceae, Polygonaceae, and Apiaceae. Despite such jumps obscuring past host associations, possible ancestral hosts were identified by the pattern of host distribution at higher taxonomic levels along the ss-tubulin phylogeny. Results suggest that clade I diverged with Cyperaceae, Juncaceae, and the more advanced core eudicot orders (rosids and asterids), whereas clade II diversified with earlier angiosperm groups, such as monocots, Poaceae, and Ranunculales. Qualified support was given to the hypothesis that rusts can reveal taxonomic relationships between their hosts, at genus, family, and ordinal levels.

T1  - Application of microscale-preparative multidimensional gas chromatography with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for identification of pure methylnaphthalenes from crude oils
AN  - 19805745; 8839864
AB  - Mass spectrometry is often insufficient to distinguish between structural isomers, requiring confirmation using NMR spectroscopy. Here, a novel preparative technique based upon capillary multidimensional gas chromatography to isolate pure volatile components from complex samples is described. The method was developed through isolation of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (5.2 kg, 10 injections) from a peppermint essential oil. Then isomers of 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene were isolated from a complex crude oil in sufficient amounts (3.1 kg, 38 injections and 5.0 kg, 35 injections) for discrimination using super(1)H NMR spectroscopy. This methodology is applicable to identify any volatile molecule in complex matrices requiring confirmation using NMR spectroscopy.

T1  - Empirical models to identify mechanisms driving reductions in tissue mercury concentration during culture of farmed southern bluefin tuna Thunnnus maccoyii
AN  - 19663897; 8851182
AB  - Two empirical models are presented to elucidate the mechanisms driving reductions in the mercury concentration of southern bluefin tuna (SBT) during culture. Model 1 predicts temporal fluctuations in mercury concentration in response to growth dilution. Model 2 predicts the combined effects of growth dilution and linear mercury accumulation. Model 2 was found to be the more accurate model. Over a typical farming period of 136 days, growth dilution resulted in a reduction in mean mercury concentration of SBT edible tissues from 0.51mg/kg down to 0.33mg/kg. Extended culture beyond 136 days resulted in an increase in mercury concentration due to the combined effects of mercury accumulation and seasonal lipid depletion. Results indicate that under current industry practice, cultured SBT can be consumed twice as frequently as that of wild caught SBT while maintaining total dietary mercury intake below national recommendations.

T1  - Application of aerosol electrometer for ambient particle charge measurements
AN  - 19658821; 8771750
AB  - The charge on ambient atmospheric particles is an important parameter in the investigation of particle dynamics. Yet, there is only limited knowledge available on it, mainly due to the lack of instrumentation for its direct measurement. The aim of this study was to explore the application and suitability of the Aerosol Electrometer (AE) TSI Model 3068 as a direct instrument for measuring ambient particle charge concentration, thereby extending its use beyond the current applications. Through a set of experimental investigations the AE was applied to measure net concentration of charged particles in different environments. Results of the study showed the instrument is mostly suitable for outdoor field measurement, when particle charge concentrations are elevated, such as in the vicinity of strong ion emitting sources (high voltage powerlines, electricity substations, etc); and under conditions of air relative humidity of below 60%. Operating the instrument above this humidity value would require the use of a dehumidifier. 74% (R super(2)) statistical correlation (P<0.05) was obtained between the readings of the AE and the Air Ion Counter, when both instruments were used to simultaneously sample ambient air.

T1  - Beyond corals and fish: the effects of climate change on noncoral benthic invertebrates of tropical reefs
AN  - 19571620; 8821527
AB  - Climate change is threatening tropical reefs across the world, with most scientists agreeing that the current changes in climate conditions are occurring at a much faster rate than in the past and are potentially beyond the capacity of reefs to adapt and recover. Current research in tropical ecosystems focuses largely on corals and fishes, although other benthic marine invertebrates provide crucial services to reef systems, with roles in nutrient cycling, water quality regulation, and herbivory. We review available information on the effects of environmental conditions associated with climate change on noncoral tropical benthic invertebrates, including inferences from modern and fossil records. Increasing sea surface temperatures may decrease survivorship and increase the developmental rate, as well as alter the timing of gonad development, spawning, and food availability. The broad latitudinal distribution and associated temperature ranges of several pantropical taxa suggest that some reef communities may have an in-built adaptive capacity. Tropical benthic invertebrates will also show species-specific sublethal and lethal responses to sea-level rise, ocean acidification, physical disturbance, runoff, turbidity, sedimentation, and changes in ocean circulation. In order to accurately predict a species' response to these stressors, we must consider the magnitude and duration of exposure to each stressor, as well as the physiology, mobility, and habitat requirements of the species. Stressors will not act independently, and many organisms will be exposed to multiple stressors concurrently, including anthropogenic stressors. Environmental changes associated with climate change are linked to larger ecological processes, including changes in larval dispersal and recruitment success, shifts in community structure and range extensions, and the establishment and spread of invasive species. Loss of some species will trigger economic losses and negative effects on ecosystem function. Our review is intended to create a framework with which to predict the vulnerability of benthic invertebrates to the stressors associated with climate change, as well as their adaptive capacity. We anticipate that this review will assist scientists, managers, and policy-makers to better develop and implement regional research and management strategies, based on observed and predicted changes in environmental conditions.

T1  - High intensity light emitting diode array as an alternative exposure source for the fabrication of electrophoretic microfluidic devices
AN  - 19569373; 8839800
AB  - A commercially available array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), namely a UV Shark series LED high flux array, was evaluated as a light source for photolithographic patterning of SU-8 photoresist for the fabrication of templates suitable to make poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchips for electrophoresis. At a distance of 15 cm from the substrate, a relatively even intensity of 0.76 +/- 0.05 mW/cm super(2) was obtained over an area sufficient for patterning a 10 cm (4 in.) silicon wafer. The exposure source was evaluated using a spiral mask design covering a 10 cm wafer. PDMS replicates of this template made in a 25 km thick layer of SU-8 3025 showed little variation in width over the surface of the substrate, with a variation of 3.2% RSD (n = 36) and a maximum range in widths of 7.8% of the mean channel width. The use of the optional metal reflector available with the LED array provided partial collimation of the light allowing near vertical structures to be produced across the entire wafer, something which was not possible without the reflector. SU-8 masters prepared using the LED array were compared to masters made using an alternative cheap lithographic source, namely a gel crosslinker. The SU-8 features were much narrower with the LED array than the crosslinker due to the multiple light sources in the crosslinker. A PDMS microchip made using a SU-8 template created using the Shark UV LED array was used for the electrophoretic separation of three anionic fluorescent dyes, with efficiencies up to 32 000 plates. Given that the LED array can be purchased and assembled for less than US$ 500, the Shark UV LED array is a promising alternative to more expensive lithographic light sources and will have significant appeal to many researchers wishing to undertake research in microfluidics around the world.

T1  - Guidelines to Evaluate Human Observational Studies for Quantitative Risk Assessment
AN  - 14843747; 10735607
AB  - Guidelines to evaluate human observational studies for quantitative risk assessment, were analyzed. Epidemiologic evidence was the most relevant type of evidence for risk assessment, because limited extrapolation was needed to apply study results to a real life situation. The results showed that the U.K. Petrol study was ranked higher because this study reported results from a sensitivity analysis used to evaluate the impact of several crucial decisions made in the assessment of exposure. It was concluded that the outcome of the benzene-acute mycloid leukemia (AML) example indicated that, there were large differences between human observational studies (HOS) with regard to the quality of the exposure assessment that would not have been detected with the application of the existing evaluation approaches.

T1  - Cadmium-Related Mortality and Long-term Secular Trends in the Cadmium Body Burden of an Environmental Exposed Population
AN  - 14843469; 10735605
AB  - Cadmium-related mortality and long-term secular trends in the cadmium body burden of an environmentally exposed population were investigated. Cadmium was a metal with high toxicity, had an estimated elimination half-life of 10-30 years, and accumulated in the human body, particularly in the liver and the kidney. Exposure to cadmium occurred through intake of contaminated food or water or by tobacco smoke or polluted air. The results showed continuous and significantly positive associations between all-cause mortality and the internal cadmium dose, whereas in the presence of cadmium the associations with the indexes of renal function were not significant. It was concluded that, environmental exposure to cadmium increased the risk of death; the hazard function was continuous without a threshold of the internal dose below which the risk would disappear.

T1  - Climate Variability, Social and Environmental Factors, and Ross River Virus Transmission: Research Development and Future Research Needs
AN  - 14843416; 10735603
AB  - Climate variability, social and environmental factors, and Ross River virus (RRV) transmission were investigated. The global climate changed at an unprecedented rate, with rising surface temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and changes in climate variability and extreme events. Arboviral infections were a global health problem accounting for significant morbidity and mortality in human populations. The multivariate polynomial distributed lag models showed that only mosquito density at lags of 0 and 1 month was significantly associated with the transmission of RRV disease. It was concluded that even though many factor, cycles of RRV disease, climate and tidal variables and mosquito density were generally important environmental predictors of RRV disease.

T1  - Changes in Pest Infestation Levels, Self-Reported Pesticide Use, and Permethrin Exposure during Pregnancy after the 2000-2001 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Restriction of Organophosphates
AN  - 14841852; 10735606
AB  - Changes in pest infestation levels, self-reported pesticide use, and permethrin exposure during pregnancy after the 2000-2001 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Restriction of organophosphates were analyzed. Understanding the pattern of residential pesticide use and exposure was critical to identify risks and devise prevention strategies. Research documenting the potential for developmental and reproductive toxicity resulting from low levels of pesticides led to stringent and uniform pesticide regulations focusing on the safety and protection of infants and children. It was concluded that the mix of pesticides being used for residential pest control had changed and that pyrethroids replaced the organophosphorus insecticides for residential pest control among this cohort.

T1  - Comparative Analysis of State Fish Consumption Advisories Targeting Sensitive Populations
AN  - 14838620; 10735604
AB  - Comparative analysis of state fish consumption advisories targeting sensitive populations was presented. State, tribal, and local governments protected people from possible risks of eating contaminated fish by monitoring their waters and issuing fish advisories when contaminant levels were unsafe. Finfish and shellfish consumption might pose health risks due to various contaminants. The results showed that in addition to conferring health benefits, some advisories also indicated that fish consumption provided non-health benefits such as recreation. It was concluded that sensitive populations should receive clear, sufficiently explained health messages regarding fish consumption that aimed to optimize both maternal and fetal health by decreasing risks and increasing benefits.

T1  - An exploration of nitrate concentrations in groundwater aquifers of central-west region of Bangladesh.
AN  - 69685588; 18406518
AB  - Groundwater and river water samples were collected from the study area to investigate the spatial distribution of nitrate (NO(3)(-)) in the central-west region of Bangladesh. The shallow and deep groundwater nitrate concentrations ranged from <0.10 to 75.12 and <0.10 to 40.78 mg/L, respectively. Major river water NO(3)(-) concentrations were ranged from 0.98 to 2.32 mg/L with an average of 1.8 mg/L. The average Cl(-)/NO(3)(-) ratio (4.9) of major river water has been considered as reference point to delineate denitrification processes. The alluvial fan, alluvial, deltaic and coastal deposits shallow groundwater having C1(-)/NO(3)(-) values less than that of the average river water value (4.9), suggested denitrification processes within the aquifers. On the other hand, denitrification processes are insignificant in the Pleistocene terraces area aquifers related to relatively higher concentrations of nitrate. Iron pyrite has been found as insignificant effect on denitrification.

AB  - The Future Combat System (FCS) is a multiyear, multibillion dollar program at the heart of the Army's transformation efforts; but in 2008, primarily in response to both congressional and Department of Defense (DOD) concerns about deploying FCS technologies to forces in the field sooner and overall program affordability, the Army restructured the program to instead focus its FCS equipping efforts on Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs). The 111th Congress, in its appropriation, authorization, and oversight roles may wish to review the FCS program for its projected capabilities, relevance to current and possible future military operations, and program costs.

T1  - Review. The epidemiology of kuru: monitoring the epidemic from its peak to its end
AN  - 19336828; 8682462
AB  - Kuru is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy restricted to the Fore people and their neighbours in a remote region of the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. When first investigated in 1957 it was found to be present in epidemic proportions, with approximately 1000 deaths in the first 5 years, 1957-1961. The changing epidemiological patterns and other significant findings such as the transmissibility of kuru are described in their historical progression. Monitoring the progress of the epidemic has been carried out by epidemiological surveillance in the field for 50 years. From its peak, the number of deaths from kuru declined to 2 in the last 5 years, indicating that the epidemic is approaching its end. The mode of transmission of the prion agent of kuru was the local mortuary practice of transumption. The prohibition of this practice in the 1950s led to the decline in the epidemic, which has been prolonged into the present century by incubation periods that may exceed 50 years. Currently, the epidemiological surveillance is being maintained and further studies on human genetics and the past mortuary practices are being conducted in the kuru-affected region and in communities beyond it.

T1  - Assessment of ecosystem function following marine aggregate dredging
AN  - 19582095; 8614158
AB  - A number of indices designed to assess ecosystem function were applied to an existing benthic macrofaunal dataset collected following recent marine aggregate extraction activity at the Hastings Shingle Bank (UK). The objective of the study was to assess the use of these different functional metrics, some incorporating biological traits analysis, to investigate the rate of recovery in ecosystem function after dredging impact. All of the indices tested behaved in a broadly similar fashion following the aggregate extraction event, although some suggested faster rates of functional recovery than others. All indicated that the disturbed area of seabed was capable of full recovery given enough time. It is considered that this outcome may be because the physical nature of the seabed was unlikely to have been permanently altered by dredging for aggregate by the method used. This is not always the case following aggregate extraction and depends on the dredging protocol used (e.g., sediment screening). The indices tested (some applied for the first time to benthic macrofaunal data) were considered to be complementary to traditional environmental assessment metrics and each might be used under different circumstances.

T1  - Empirical estimates of historical variations in the catchability and fishing power of pelagic longline fishing gear
AN  - 853476661; 14055500
AB  - I quantify the effects of 11 variables on the catchability and fishing power of pelagic longlines, which are used to catch tunas and billfishes in the open ocean. Extension of the depth range and the duration of longline operations have reduced the catchability of several epipelagic species, such as mako sharks (Isurus spp.), since industrial longlining commenced in the tropical Pacific Ocean in the early 1950s. Reductions in the body size of many species may also have reduced encounters with longline hooks. By contrast, the catchability of commercially valuable bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) increased substantially because of the longer duration and extension of the depth range of longlines. Stronger and less visible line materials and increased fishing-master experience also contributed to increased catchability. By affecting the rate of bait loss, the introduction of new bait species increased fishing power. This study highlights significant problems in deriving indices of abundance from commercial catch and effort data. Instead of relying on commercial data, assessments should use tag-recapture experiments or dedicated surveys to obtain fishery-independent estimates of abundance.

T1  - A Bayesian mixture model for estimating intergeneration chronic toxicity.
AN  - 69829103; 19031910
AB  - Understanding toxic effects on biological populations across generations is crucial for determining the long-term consequences of chemical pollution in aquatic environments. As a consequence, there is considerable demand for suitable statistical methods to analyze complex multigeneration experimental data. We demonstrate the application of a Bayesian mixture model (with random-effects) to assess the effect of intergeneration copper (Cu) exposure on the reproductive output of the copepod, Tigriopus japonicus, using experimental data across three generations. The model allowed us to appropriately specify the nonstandard statistical distribution of the data and account for correlations among data points. The approach ensured more robust inferences than standard statistical methods and, because of the model's mechanistic formulation, enabled us to test more subtle hypotheses. We demonstrate intergeneration Cu exposure effects on both components of reproductive output (1) the ovisac maturation rate, and (2) the number of nauplii per ovisac. Current and parent generation Cu exposures negatively affected current generation reproductive output However, in terms of reproductive output, there was also some evidence for adaptation to parental Cu exposures, but with an associated cost under Cu concentrations different from the parental exposure. Bayesian mixture and random-effects models present a robust framework for analyzing data of this kind and for better understanding chemical toxicity.

T1  - Airborne gamma survey of the historic Sleisbeck mine area in the Northern Territory, Australia, and its use for site rehabilitation planning.
AN  - 69715412; 18768242
AB  - An airborne gamma-survey provided information about the extent of radioactive contamination around the historic Sleisbeck mine. Quickbird satellite data were acquired to relate airborne measurements to land cover features. Enhanced equivalent uranium (eU) levels were found to be confined to the mine and low grade waste rock dumps. The average terrestrial background radiation dose rate estimated from the airborne gamma survey data was 0.10-0.14 microGy h(-1) while the area around the mine exhibited a maximum of approximately 2.3 microGy h(-1), but measurements on the ground indicate that this maximum is exceeded in some localized areas. Rehabilitation of the site is likely to result in a threefold reduction in radiation doses to people accessing the area.

T1  - Seeking the Grail: Evaluating Whether Australia's Coastcare Program Achieved "Meaningful" Community Participation
AN  - 61787048; 200902041
AB  - Many environment programs encourage community participation. Lacking are evolution guidelines for programs that engage the public. While typologies exist that explain dimensions of participation, evolution of the participatory effort within programs is lagging. This article tests the theoretical principles of participatory democracy on Australia's Coastcare program, a federally funded community-based natural resource management initiative. Five indicators developed to evaluate the participatory approach of a planning effort in the United States are applied in this instance to verify the success of the Coast care's goals of encouraging stewardship within local communities. The study is based on the analysis of qualitative data generated from a combination of 173 key stakeholder interviews and questionnaires. The application of the indicators revealed both strengths and challenges for coast-care in the achieving its goals. This case study illustrates that utilization of appropriate indicators has the capacity to provide much needed information that can assist policy reform while providing continued support to local groups.

T1  - Female Presence on Corporate Boards: A Multi-Country Study of Environmental Context
AN  - 58802199; 2008-232387
AB  - A growing body of ethics research investigates gender diversity and governance on corporate boards, at individual and firm levels, in single country studies. In this study, we explore the environmental context of female representation on corporate boards of directors, using data from 43 countries. We suggest that women's representation on corporate boards may be shaped by the larger environment, including the social, political and economic structures of individual countries. We use logit regression to conduct our analysis. Our results indicate that countries with higher representation of women on boards are more likely to have women in senior management and more equal ratios of male to female pay. However, we find that countries with a longer tradition of women's political representation are less likely to have high levels of female board representation. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Failure as Always an Option
AN  - 57731564; 200901440
AB  - Failures are a fact of life and can happen both on small and large scales. Restaurants and small businesses open and close all the time, while Web sites go up and down. However, the closure of a library hits close to home. One way to deal with failure is to plan for little failures and learn from big ones. The scientific method is a great example of taking the process of learning from failure to heart. It is designed to add knowledge whether or not an experiment succeeds. The practice of science, based around this approach, places great emphasis on repeatability, by which scientists follow another's precise methods to determine whether the initial results occur reliably. Whether a scientific experiment succeeds or fails the first time, it takes multiple attempts by many groups to verify methods and to prove a statistical likelihood that something new has been learned.

T1  - Lost in Austin -- The Golden Age of Librarianship
AN  - 57678912; 200901128
AB  - The American Library Association's (ALA) Committee on Accreditation (COA) was created to implement the accreditation program of ALA and to develop and formulate standards of education for library and information studies. COA is the hardest working yet most rewarding committee in ALA. It meets four times a year, once each at ALA Annual and Midwinter and twice a year at ALA headquarters in April and November. The notion that library and information science (LIS) education and the COA somehow fail to meet the needs of students and employers has been raised in recent years and, despite evidence to the contrary, continues to be an issue to what appears to be a vocal minority. This issue brings two questions: how to ascertain if the accredited LIS programs are succeeding, and what role can practitioners play in LIS education. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Feeding and Eating Behaviors in Children with Autism and Typically Developing Children
AN  - 57271040; 200909757
AB  - Mothers of children aged 2-12 years completed an exhaustive questionnaire assessing feeding and eating behaviors for both themselves and their children with autism, and typically developing siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (where available), or typically developing children with no sibling with a disability. Results indicate that children with autism were only marginally more likely to exhibit picky eating behavior (overall style) than their siblings or matched typically developing children. Rates of ritualistic feeding behaviors were equivalent in all groups of children although children with autism were more likely to be currently exhibiting problematic eating and feeding behaviors. The implications of these results for the treatment of feeding difficulties exhibited by children with autism will be discussed.

T1  - Prospective Analysis of Traffic Exposure as a Risk Factor for Incident Coronary Heart Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
AN  - 21402663; 12100008
AB  - BACKGROUND: For people living close to busy roads, traffic is a major source of air pollution. Few prospective data have been published on the effects of long-term exposure to traffic on the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). OBJECTIVES: In this article, we examined the association between long-term traffic exposure and incidence of fatal and nonfatal CHD in a population-based prospective cohort study. METHODS: We studied 13,309 middle-age men and women in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, without previous CHD at enrollment, from 1987 to 1989 in four U.S. communities. Geographic information system-mapped traffic density and distance to major roads served as measures of traffic exposure. We examined the association between traffic exposure and incident CHD using proportional hazards regression models, with adjustment for background air pollution and a wide range of individual cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: Over an average of 13 years of follow-up, 976 subjects developed CHD. Relative to those in the lowest quartile of traffic density, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) in the highest quartile was 1.32 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-1.65; p-value for trend across quartiles = 0.042]. When we treated traffic density as a continuous variable, the adjusted HR per one unit increase of log-transformed density was 1.03 (95% CI, 1.01-1.05; p = 0.006). For residents living within 300 m of major roads compared with those living farther away, the adjusted HR was 1.12 (95% CI, 0.95-1.32; p = 0.189). We found little evidence of effect modification for sex, smoking status, obesity, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, hypertension, age, or education. CONCLUSION: Higher long-term exposure to traffic is associated with incidence of CHD, independent of other risk factors. These prospective data support an effect of traffic-related air pollution on the development of CHD in middle-age persons.

T1  - Influence of Glutathione S-Transferase Polymorphisms on Cognitive Functioning Effects Induced by p,p'-DDT among Preschoolers
AN  - 21402595; 12099989
AB  - BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to p,p'-DDT [2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane] is associated with a decrease in cognitive skills among preschoolers at 4 years of age. We hypothesized that genetic variability in glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes (GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1) could influence the effects of prenatal exposure to p,p'-DDT. METHODS: We used data from 326 children assessed in a prospective population-based birth cohort at the age of 4 years. In that study, the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities were administrated by psychologists, organochlorine compounds were measured in cord serum, and genotyping was conducted for the coding variant Ile105Val from GSTP1 and for null alleles from GSTM1 and GSTT1. We used linear regression models to measure the association between organochlorines and neurodevelopmental scores by GST polymorphisms. RESULTS: p,p'-DDT cord serum concentration was inversely associated with general cognitive, memory, quantitative, and verbal skills, as well as executive function and working memory, in children who had any GSTP1 Val-105 allele. GSTP1 polymorphisms and prenatal p,p'-DDT exposure showed a statistically significant interaction for general cognitive skills (p = 0.05), quantitative skills (p = 0.02), executive function (p = 0.01), and working memory (p = 0.02). There were no significant associations between p,p'-DDT and cognitive functioning at 4 years of age according to GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that children with GSTP1 Val-105 allele were at higher risk of the adverse cognitive functioning effects of prenatal p,p'-DDT exposure.

T1  - Global DNA Hypomethylation Is Associated with High Serum-Persistent Organic Pollutants in Greenlandic Inuit
AN  - 21398405; 12099995
AB  - BACKGROUND: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may influence epigenetic mechanisms; therefore, they could affect chromosomal stability and gene expression. DNA methylation, an epigenetic mechanism, has been associated with cancer initiation and progression. Greenlandic Inuit have some of the highest reported POP levels worldwide. OBJECTIVE: Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between plasma POPs concentrations and global DNA methylation (percent 5-methylcytosine) in DNA extracted from blood samples from 70 Greenlandic Inuit. Blood samples were collected under the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program and previously analyzed for a battery of POPs. METHODS: We used pyrosequencing to estimate global DNA methylation via Alu and LINE-1 assays of bisulfite-treated DNA. We investigated correlations between plasma POP concentrations and global DNA methylation via correlation coefficients and linear regression analyses. RESULTS: We found inverse correlations between percents methylcytosine and many of the POP concentrations measured. Linear regressions, adjusting for age and cigarette smoking, showed statistically significant inverse linear relationships mainly for the Alu assay for p,p'-DDT (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane; beta = -0.26), p,p'-DDE [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl) ethylene; beta = -0.38], beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta = -0.48), oxychlordane (beta = -0.32), alpha-chlordane (beta = -0.75), mirex (beta = -0.27), sum of polychlorinated biphenyls (beta = -0.56), and sum of all POPs (beta = -0.48). Linear regressions for the LINE-1 assay showed beta estimates of similar magnitudes to those using the Alu assay, however, none was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to investigate environmental exposure to POPs and DNA methylation levels in a human population. Global methylation levels were inversely associated with blood plasma levels for several POPs and merit further investigation.

T1  - Childhood Lymphohematopoietic Cancer Incidence and Hazardous Air Pollutants in Southeast Texas, 1995-2004
AN  - 21398378; 12099990
AB  - BACKGROUND: Cancer is the second leading cause of death among U.S. children with few known risk factors. There is increasing interest in the role of air pollutants, including benzene and 1,3-butadiene, in the etiology of childhood cancers. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to assess whether census tracts with the highest benzene or 1,3-butadiene ambient air levels have increased childhood lymphohematopoietic cancer incidence. METHODS: Our ecologic analysis included 977 cases of childhood lymphohematopoietic cancer diagnosed from 1995-2004. We obtained the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 1999 modeled estimates of benzene and 1,3-butadiene for 886 census tracts surrounding Houston, Texas. We ran Poisson regression models by pollutant to explore the associations between pollutant levels and census-tract cancer rates. We adjusted models for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and community-level socioeconomic status (cSES). RESULTS: Census tracts with the highest benzene levels had elevated rates of all leukemia [rate ratio (RR) = 1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05, 1.78]. This association was higher for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (RR = 2.02; 95% CI, 1.03-3.96) than for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (RR = 1.24; 95% CI, 0.92-1.66). Among census tracts with the highest 1,3-butadiene levels, we observed RRs of 1.40 (95% CI, 1.07-1.81), 1.68 (95% CI, 0.84-3.35), and 1.32 (95% CI, 0.98-1.77) for all leukemia, AML, and ALL, respectively. We detected no associations between benzene or 1,3-butadiene levels and lymphoma incidence. Results that examined joint exposure to benzene and 1,3-butadiene were similar to those that examined each pollutant separately. CONCLUSIONS: Our ecologic analysis suggests an association between childhood leukemia and hazardous air pollution; further research using more sophisticated methodology is warranted.

T1  - Exposure of Neonatal Rats to Parathion Elicits Sex-Selective Reprogramming of Metabolism and Alters the Response to a High-Fat Diet in Adulthood
AN  - 21394334; 12100007
AB  - BACKGROUND: Developmental exposures to organophosphate pesticides are virtually ubiquitous. These agents are neurotoxicants, but recent evidence also points to lasting effects on metabolism. OBJECTIVES: We administered parathion to neonatal rats. In adulthood, we assessed the impact on weight gain, food consumption, and glucose and lipid homeostasis, as well as the interaction with the effects of a high-fat diet. METHODS: Neonatal rats were given parathion on postnatal days 1-4 using doses (0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg/day) that straddle the threshold for barely detectable cholinesterase inhibition and the first signs of systemic toxicity. In adulthood, animals were either maintained on standard lab chow or switched to a high-fat diet for 7 weeks. RESULTS: In male rats on a normal diet, the low-dose parathion exposure caused increased weight gain but also evoked signs of a prediabetic state, with elevated fasting serum glucose and impaired fat metabolism. The higher dose of parathion reversed the weight gain and caused further metabolic defects. Females showed greater sensitivity to metabolic disruption, with weight loss at either parathion dose, and greater imbalances in glucose and lipid metabolism. At 0.1 mg/kg/day parathion, females showed enhanced weight gain on the high-fat diet; This effect was reversed in the 0.2-mg/kg/day parathion group, and was accompanied by even greater deficits in glucose and fat metabolism. CONCLUSIONS: Neonatal low-dose parathion exposure disrupts glucose and fat homeostasis in a persistent and sex-selective manner. Early-life toxicant exposure to organophosphates or other environmental chemicals may play a role in the increased incidence of obesity and diabetes.

T1  - Climate Change, Tropospheric Ozone and Particulate Matter, and Health Impacts
AN  - 21388629; 12100010
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Because the state of the atmosphere determines the development, transport, dispersion, and deposition of air pollutants, there is concern that climate change could affect morbidity and mortality associated with elevated concentrations of these gases and fine particles. We review how climate change could affect future concentrations of tropospheric ozone and particulate matter (PM), and what changing concentrations could mean for population health. DATA SOURCES: We review studies projecting the impacts of climate change on air quality and studies projecting the impacts of these changes on morbidity and mortality. DATA SYNTHESIS: Climate change could affect local to regional air quality through changes in chemical reaction rates, boundary layer heights that affect vertical mixing of pollutants, and changes in synoptic airflow patterns that govern pollutant transport. Sources of uncertainty include the degree of future climate change, future emissions of air pollutants and their precursors, and how population vulnerability may change in the future. Given these uncertainties, projections suggest that climate change will increase concentrations of tropospheric ozone, at least in high-income countries when precursor emissions are held constant, which would increase morbidity and mortality. Few projections are available for low- and middle-income countries. The evidence is less robust for PM, primarily because few studies have been conducted. CONCLUSIONS: Additional research is needed to better understand the possible impacts of climate change on air pollution-related health impacts. If improved models continue to project higher ozone concentrations with climate change, then reducing greenhouse gas emissions would enhance the health of current and future generations.

T1  - Associations of Serum Concentrations of Persistent Organic Pollutants with the Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and Subpopulations of White Blood Cells
AN  - 21388586; 12099993
AB  - BACKGROUND: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are endocrine disruptors that accumulate in adipose tissue, can increase the risk of periodontal disease through the disturbance of the immune system. OBJECTIVE: We examined associations of background exposure to POPs with periodontal disease in the general population. DESIGN: Cross-sectional associations of concentrations of serum POPs with the prevalence of periodontal disease were investigated in 1,234 adults or = 20 years of age in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002. RESULTS: Among several POPs, organochlorine (OC) pesticides were most strongly associated with periodontal disease. Adjusted odds ratios across quintiles of OC pesticides were 1.0, 1.3, 1.7, 2.4, and 2.7 (p for trend 0.01) for the presence in any site of clinical attachment loss or = 4 mm and 1.0, 1.7, 2.6, 3.4, and 3.7 (p for trend 0.01) for the presence of pocket depth or = 4 mm. Polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins also showed significant positive associations with one or both definitions of periodontal disease. Results did not materially change when continuous variables of clinical attachment loss or pocket depth were used as outcomes. Although participants with periodontal disease had higher white blood cell and neutrophil counts, neutrophil counts were inversely related to OC pesticides (p for trend 0.01). These inverse associations did not change after excluding subjects with C-reactive protein /= 3 mg/L. CONCLUSION: POPs, especially OC pesticides, were positively associated with periodontal disease, possibly through immunomodulation due to OC pesticides.

T1  - Dioxins and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality
AN  - 21387516; 12100011
AB  - OBJECTIVE: In this systematic review we evaluated the evidence on the association between dioxin exposure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in humans. DATA SOURCES AND EXTRACTION: We conducted a PubMed search in December 2007 and considered all English-language epidemiologic studies and their citations regarding dioxin exposure and CVD mortality. To focus on dioxins, we excluded cohorts that were either primarily exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls or from the leather and perfume industries, which include other cardiotoxic coexposures. DATA SYNTHESIS: We included results from 12 cohorts in the review. Ten cohorts were occupationally exposed. We divided analyses according to two well-recognized criteria of epidemiologic study quality: the accuracy of the exposure assessment, and whether the exposed population was compared with an internal or an external (e.g., general population) reference group. Analyses using internal comparisons with accurate exposure assessments are the highest quality because they minimize both exposure misclassification and confounding due to workers being healthier than the general population ("healthy worker effect"). The studies in the highest-quality group found consistent and significant dose-related increases in ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality and more modest associations with all-CVD mortality. Their primary limitation was a lack of adjustment for potential confounding by the major risk factors for CVD. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this systematic review suggest that dioxin exposure is associated with mortality from both IHD and all CVD, although more strongly with the former. However, it is not possible to determine the potential bias, if any, from confounding by other risk factors for CVD.

T1  - Following the Water: A Controlled Study of Drinking Water Storage in Northern Coastal Ecuador
AN  - 21387466; 12099997
AB  - BACKGROUND: To design the most appropriate interventions to improve water quality and supply, information is needed to assess water contamination in a variety of community settings, including those that rely primarily on unimproved surface sources of drinking water. OBJECTIVES: We explored the role of initial source water conditions as well as household factors in determining household water quality, and how levels of contamination of drinking water change over time, in a rural setting in northern coastal Ecuador. METHODS: We sampled source waters concurrently with water collection by household members and followed this water over time, comparing Escherichia coli and enterococci concentrations in water stored in households with water stored under controlled conditions. RESULTS: We observed significant natural attenuation of indicator organisms in control containers and significant, although less pronounced, reductions of indicators between the source of drinking water and its point of use through the third day of sampling. These reductions were followed by recontamination in approximately half of the households. CONCLUSIONS: Water quality improved after water was transferred from the source to household storage containers, but then declined because of recontamination in the home. Our experimental design allowed us to observe these dynamics by controlling for initial source water quality and following changes in water quality over time. These data, because of our controlled experimental design, may explain why recontamination has been reported in the literature as less prominent in areas or households with highly contaminated source waters. Our results also suggest that efforts to improve source water quality and sanitation remain important.

T1  - Prenatal Exposure to Lead, [delta]-Aminolevulinic Acid, and Schizophrenia: Further Evidence
AN  - 21387274; 12099818
AB  - BACKGROUND: A previously conducted study of prenatal lead exposure and schizophrenia using delta-aminolevulinic acid, a biologic marker of Pb exposure, in archived maternal serum samples collected from subjects enrolled in the Childhood Health and Development Study (1959-1966) based in Oakland, California, suggested a possible association between prenatal Pb exposure and the development of schizophrenia in later life. OBJECTIVES: In the present study we extend these findings using samples collected from the New England cohort of the National Collaborative Perinatal Project (1959-1966). Using similar methods, in this study we found results that suggest a comparable association in this cohort. METHODS: We pooled matched sets of cases and controls from both the California and New England sites using a multilevel random-intercept logistic regression model, accounting for matching and site structure as well as adjusting for maternal age at delivery and maternal education. RESULTS: The estimated odds ratio for schizophrenia associated with exposure corresponding to 15 microg/dL of blood Pb was 1.92 (95% confidence interval, 1.05-3.87; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Although several limitations constrain generalizability, these results are consistent with previous findings and provide further evidence for the role of early environmental exposures in the development of adult-onset psychiatric disorders.

T1  - A Controlled Challenge Study on Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) in House Dust and the Immune Response in Human Nasal Mucosa of Allergic Subjects
AN  - 21384298; 12100003
AB  - BACKGROUND: Few studies have yet addressed the effects of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in house dust on human nasal mucosa. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of house dust containing DEHP on nasal mucosa of healthy and house dust mite (HDM)-allergic subjects in a short-term exposure setting. METHODS: We challenged 16 healthy and 16 HDM-allergic subjects for 3 hr with house dust at a concentration of 300 microg/m(3) containing either low (0.41 mg/g) or high (2.09 mg/g) levels of DEHP. Exposure to filtered air served as control. After exposure, we measured proteins and performed a DNA microarray analysis. RESULTS: Nasal exposure to house dust with low or high DEHP had no effect on symptom scores. Healthy subjects had almost no response to inhaled dust, but HDM-allergic subjects showed varied responses: DEHP(low) house dust increased eosinophil cationic protein, granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin (IL)-5, and IL-6, whereas DEHP(high) house dust decreased G-CSF and IL-6. Furthermore, in healthy subjects, DEHP concentration resulted in 10 differentially expressed genes, whereas 16 genes were differentially expressed in HDM-allergic subjects, among them anti-Muellerian hormone, which was significantly up-regulated after exposure to DEHP(high) house dust compared with exposure to DEHP(low) house dust, and fibroblast growth factor 9, IL-6, and transforming growth factor-beta1, which were down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term exposure to house dust with high concentrations of DEHP has attenuating effects on human nasal immune response in HDM-allergic subjects, concerning both gene expression and cytokines.

T1  - S-Ethyl-N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate Exposure and Cancer Incidence among Male Pesticide Applicators in the Agricultural Health Study: A Prospective Cohort
AN  - 21384270; 12099996
AB  - BACKGROUND: The Agricultural Health Study (AHS) is a prospective cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina enrolled between 1993 and 1997. EPTC (S-ethyl-N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate) is a thiocarbamate herbicide used in every region of the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that EPTC is most likely not a human carcinogen; however, the previous epidemiologic data on EPTC exposure and cancer risk were limited. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine cancer incidence and EPTC use in 48,378 male pesticide applicators enrolled in the AHS. METHODS: We estimated the rate ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all cancers and selected cancer sites using Poisson regression. We assessed EPTC exposure using two quantitative metrics: lifetime exposure days and intensity-weighted lifetime exposure days, a measure that accounts for application factors that modify personal exposure likelihood. RESULTS: Among the 9,878 applicators exposed to EPTC, 470 incident cancer cases were diagnosed during the follow-up period ending December 2004 compared with the 1,824 cases among individuals reporting no use. Although EPTC was associated with colon cancer in the highest tertile of both lifetime exposure days and intensity-weighted lifetime days (RR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.26-3.47 and RR = 2.05; 95% CI, 1.34-3.14, respectively) and the trend test was 0.01 for both, the pattern of RR was not monotonic with increasing use. There was a suggestion of an association with leukemia. No other associations were observed. CONCLUSION: In this analysis, EPTC use appeared to be associated with colon cancer and leukemia. However, given the relatively small number of cases in the highest exposure tertile, results should be interpreted with caution, and further investigations are needed.

T1  - Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Hospitality Venues in Europe
AN  - 21376800; 12100006
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although in the last few years some European countries have implemented smoking bans in hospitality venues, the levels of secondhand smoke (SHS) in this occupational sector could still be extremely high in most countries. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess exposure to SHS in hospitality venues in 10 European cities. METHODS: We included 167 hospitality venues (58 discotheques and pubs, 82 restaurants and cafeterias, and 27 fast-food restaurants) in this cross-sectional study. We carried out fieldwork in 10 European cities: Vienna (Austria), Paris (France), Athens (Greece), Florence and Belluno (Italy), Galway (Ireland), Barcelona (Spain), Warsaw and Lublin (Poland), and Bratislava (Slovak Republic). We measured vapor-phase nicotine as an SHS marker. RESULTS: We analyzed 504 samples and found nicotine in most samples (97.4%). We found the highest median concentrations in discos/pubs [32.99 microg/m(3); interquartile range (IQR), 8.06-66.84 microg/m(3)] and lower median concentrations in restaurants/cafeterias (2.09 microg/m(3); IQR, 0.49-6.73 microg/m(3)) and fast-food restaurants (0.31 microg/m(3); IQR, 0.11-1.30 microg/m(3)) (p 0.05). We found differences of exposure between countries that may be related to their smoking regulations. Where we sampled smoking and nonsmoking areas, nicotine concentrations were significantly lower in nonsmoking areas. CONCLUSIONS: Hospitality venues from European cities without smoking regulations have very high levels of SHS exposure. Monitoring of SHS on a regular basis as well as a total smoking ban in hospitality sector would be needed.

T1  - Murine Lung Responses to Ambient Particulate Matter: Genomic Analysis and Influence on Airway Hyperresponsiveness
AN  - 21376760; 12100001
AB  - BACKGROUND: Asthma is a complex disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and chronic airway inflammation. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that exposures to environmental factors such as ambient particulate matter (PM), a major air pollutant, contribute to increased asthma prevalence and exacerbations. OBJECTIVE: We investigated pathophysiologic responses to Baltimore, Maryland, ambient PM (median diameter, 1.78 mum) in a murine model of asthma and attempted to identify PM-specific genomic/molecular signatures. METHODS: We exposed ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized A/J mice intratracheally to PM (20 mg/kg), and assayed both AHR and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on days 1, 4, and 7 after PM exposure. Lung gene expression profiling was analyzed in OVA- and PM-challenged mice. RESULTS: Consistent with this murine model of asthma, we observed significant increases in airway responsiveness in OVA-treated mice, with PM exposure inducing significant changes in AHR in both naive mice and OVA-induced asthmatic mice. PM evoked eosinophil and neutrophil infiltration into airways, elevated BAL protein content, and stimulated secretion of type 1 T helper (T(H)1) cytokines [interferon-gamma, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha] and T(H)2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, eotaxin) into murine airways. Furthermore, PM consistently induced expression of genes involved in innate immune responses, chemotaxis, and complement system pathways. CONCLUSION: This study is consistent with emerging epidemiologic evidence and indicates that PM exposure evokes proinflammatory and allergic molecular signatures that may directly contribute to the asthma susceptibility in naive subjects and increased severity in affected asthmatics.

T1  - Glutathione S-Transferase Polymorphisms, Passive Smoking, Obesity, and Heart Rate Variability in Nonsmokers
AN  - 21374775; 12100002
AB  - BACKGROUND: Disturbances of heart rate variability (HRV) may represent one pathway by which second-hand smoke (SHS) and air pollutants affect cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the hypothesis that oxidative stress alters cardiac autonomic control. We studied the association of polymorphisms in oxidant-scavenging glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes and their interactions with SHS and obesity with HRV. METHODS: A total of 1,133 nonsmokers 50 years of age from a population-based Swiss cohort underwent ambulatory 24-hr electrocardiogram monitoring and reported on lifestyle and medical history. We genotyped GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene deletions and a GSTP1 (Ile105Val) single nucleotide polymorphism and analyzed genotype-HRV associations by multiple linear regressions. RESULTS: Homozygous GSTT1 null genotypes exhibited an average 10% decrease in total power (TP) and low-frequency-domain HRV parameters. All three polymorphisms modified the cross-sectional associations of HRV with SHS and obesity. Homozygous GSTM1 null genotypes with 2 hr/day of SHS exposure exhibited a 26% lower TP [95% confidence interval (CI), 11 to 39%], versus a reduction of -5% (95% CI, -22 to 17%) in subjects with the gene and the same SHS exposure compared with GSTM1 carriers without SHS exposure. Similarly, obese GSTM1 null genotypes had, on average, a 22% (95% CI, 12 to 31%) lower TP, whereas with the gene present obesity was associated with only a 3% decline (95% CI, -15% to 10%) compared with nonobese GSTM1 carriers. CONCLUSIONS: GST deficiency is associated with significant HRV alterations in the general population. Its interaction with SHS and obesity in reducing HRV is consistent with an impact of oxidative stress on the autonomous nervous system.

T1  - Estimating Individual-Level Exposure to Airborne Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons throughout the Gestational Period Based on Personal, Indoor, and Outdoor Monitoring
AN  - 21374737; 12100000
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Current understanding on health effects of long-term polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure is limited by lack of data on time-varying nature of the pollutants at an individual level. In a cohort of pregnant women in Krakow, Poland, we examined the contribution of temporal, spatial, and behavioral factors to prenatal exposure to airborne PAHs within each trimester and developed a predictive model of PAH exposure over the entire gestational period. METHODS: We monitored nonsmoking pregnant women (n = 341) for their personal exposure to pyrene and eight carcinogenic PAHs-benz[a]anthracene, chrysene/isochrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene [B(a)P], indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, and benzo[g,h,i]perylene-during their second trimester for a consecutive 48-hr period. In a subset (n = 78), we monitored indoor and outdoor levels simultaneously with the personal monitoring during the second trimester with an identical monitor. The subset of women was also monitored for personal exposure for a 48-hr period during each trimester. We repeatedly administered a questionnaire on health history, lifestyle, and home environment. RESULTS: The observed personal, indoor, and outdoor B(a)P levels we observed in Krakow far exceed the recommended Swedish guideline value for B(a)P of 0.1 ng/m(3). Based on simultaneously monitored levels, the outdoor PAH level alone accounts for 93% of total variability in personal exposure during the heating season. Living near the Krakow bus depot, a crossroad, and the city center and time spent outdoors or commuting were not associated with higher personal exposure. During the nonheating season only, a 1-hr increase in environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure was associated with a 10-16% increase in personal exposure to the nine measured PAHs. A 1 degrees C decrease in ambient temperature was associated with a 3-5% increase in exposure to benz[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene, after accounting for the outdoor concentration. A random effects model demonstrated that mean personal exposure at a given gestational period depends on the season, residence location, and ETS. CONCLUSION: Considering that most women reported spending 3 hr/day outdoors, most women in the study were exposed to outdoor-originating PAHs within the indoor setting. Cross-sectional, longitudinal monitoring supplemented with questionnaire data allowed development of a gestation-length model of individual-level exposure with high precision and validity. These results are generalizable to other nonsmoking pregnant women in similar exposure settings and support reduction of exposure to protect the developing fetus.

T1  - Meeting Report: Moving Upstream-Evaluating Adverse Upstream End Points for Improved Risk Assessment and Decision-Making
AN  - 21374696; 12099991
AB  - BACKGROUND: Assessing adverse effects from environmental chemical exposure is integral to public health policies. Toxicology assays identifying early biological changes from chemical exposure are increasing our ability to evaluate links between early biological disturbances and subsequent overt downstream effects. A workshop was held to consider how the resulting data inform consideration of an "adverse effect" in the context of hazard identification and risk assessment. OBJECTIVES: Our objective here is to review what is known about the relationships between chemical exposure, early biological effects (upstream events), and later overt effects (downstream events) through three case studies (thyroid hormone disruption, antiandrogen effects, immune system disruption) and to consider how to evaluate hazard and risk when early biological effect data are available. DISCUSSION: Each case study presents data on the toxicity pathways linking early biological perturbations with downstream overt effects. Case studies also emphasize several factors that can influence risk of overt disease as a result from early biological perturbations, including background chemical exposures, underlying individual biological processes, and disease susceptibility. Certain effects resulting from exposure during periods of sensitivity may be irreversible. A chemical can act through multiple modes of action, resulting in similar or different overt effects. CONCLUSIONS: For certain classes of early perturbations, sufficient information on the disease process is known, so hazard and quantitative risk assessment can proceed using information on upstream biological perturbations. Upstream data will support improved approaches for considering developmental stage, background exposures, disease status, and other factors important to assessing hazard and risk for the whole population.

T1  - Agriculture Alters Gonadal Form and Function in the Toad Bufo marinus
AN  - 21371781; 12099998
AB  - BACKGROUND: Many agricultural contaminants disrupt endocrine systems of wildlife. However, evidence of endocrine disruption in wild amphibians living in agricultural areas has been controversial. Typically, studies on the effects of pollutants on wildlife attempt to compare polluted with unpolluted sites. OBJECTIVES: We took a novel approach to address this question by explicitly quantifying the relationship between gonadal abnormalities and habitats characterized by differing degrees of agricultural activity. METHODS: We quantified the occurrence of gonadal abnormalities and measures of gonadal function in at least 20 giant toads (Bufo marinus) from each of five sites that occur along a gradient of increasing agricultural land use from 0 to 97%. RESULTS: The number of abnormalities and frequency of intersex gonads increased with agriculture in a dose-dependent fashion. These gonadal abnormalities were associated with altered gonadal function. Testosterone, but not 17beta-estradiol, concentrations were altered and secondary sexual traits were either feminized (increased skin mottling) or demasculinized (reduced forearm width and nuptial pad number) in intersex toads. Based on the end points we examined, female morphology and physiology did not differ across sites. However, males from agricultural areas had hormone concentrations and secondary sexual traits that were intermediate between intersex toads and non-agricultural male toads. Skin coloration at the most agricultural site was not sexually dimorphic; males had female coloration. CONCLUSIONS: Steroid hormone concentrations and secondary sexual traits correlate with reproductive activity and success, so affected toads likely have reduced reproductive success. These reproductive abnormalities could certainly contribute to amphibian population declines occurring in areas exposed to agricultural contaminants.

T1  - The Limits of Two-Year Bioassay Exposure Regimens for Identifying Chemical Carcinogens
AN  - 21357700; 12100009
AB  - BACKGROUND: Chemical carcinogenesis bioassays in animals have long been recognized and accepted as valid predictors of potential cancer hazards to humans. Most rodent bioassays begin several weeks after birth and expose animals to chemicals or other substances, including workplace and environmental pollutants, for 2 years. New findings indicate the need to extend the timing and duration of exposures used in the rodent bioassay. OBJECTIVES: In this Commentary, we propose that the sensitivity of chemical carcinogenesis bio-assays would be enhanced by exposing rodents beginning in utero and continuing for 30 months (130 weeks) or until their natural deaths at up to about 3 years. DISCUSSION: Studies of three chemicals of different structures and uses-aspartame, cadmium, and toluene-suggest that exposing experimental animals in utero and continuing exposure for 30 months or until their natural deaths increase the sensitivity of bioassays, avoid false-negative results, and strengthen the value and validity of results for regulatory agencies. CONCLUSIONS: Government agencies, drug companies, and the chemical industry should conduct and compare the results of 2-year bioassays of known carcinogens or chemicals for which there is equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity with longer-term studies, with and without in utero exposure. If studies longer than 2 years and/or with in utero exposure are found to better identify potential human carcinogens, then regulatory agencies should promptly revise their testing guidelines, which were established in the 1960s and early 1970s. Changing the timing and dosing of the animal bioassay would enhance protection of workers and consumers who are exposed to potentially dangerous workplace or home contaminants, pollutants, drugs, food additives, and other chemicals throughout their lives.

T1  - Cadmium, Lead, and Other Metals in Relation to Semen Quality: Human Evidence for Molybdenum as a Male Reproductive Toxicant
AN  - 21353673; 12100005
AB  - BACKGROUND: Evidence on human semen quality as it relates to exposure to various metals, both essential (e.g., zinc, copper) and nonessential (e.g., cadmium, lead), is inconsistent. Most studies to date used small sample sizes and were unable to account for important covariates. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this study was to assess relationships between exposure to multiple metals at environmental levels and human semen-quality parameters. METHODS: We measured semen quality and metals in blood (arsenic, Cd, chromium, Cu, Pb, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, selenium, and Zn) among 219 men recruited through two infertility clinics. We used multiple statistical approaches to assess relationships between metals and semen quality while accounting for important covariates and various metals. RESULTS: Among a number of notable findings, the associations involving Mo were the most consistent over the various statistical approaches. We found dose-dependent trends between Mo and declined sperm concentration and normal morphology, even when considering potential confounders and other metals. For example, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for below-reference semen-quality parameters in the low, medium, and high Mo groups were 1.0 (reference), 1.4 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.5-3.7], and 3.5 (95% CI, 1.1-11) for sperm concentration and 1.0 (reference), 0.8 (95% CI, 0.3-1.9), and 2.6 (95% CI, 1.0-7.0) for morphology. We also found preliminary evidence for interactions between Mo and low Cu or Zn. In stratified analyses, the adjusted ORs in the high Mo/low Cu group were 14.4 (1.6, 132) and 13.7 (1.6, 114) for below-reference sperm concentration and morphology, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings represent the first human evidence for an inverse association between Mo and semen quality. These relationships are consistent with animal data, but additional human and mechanistic studies are needed.

T1  - Transcriptome Analysis in Peripheral Blood of Humans Exposed to Environmental Carcinogens: A Promising New Biomarker in Environmental Health Studies
AN  - 21347514; 12099999
AB  - BACKGROUND: Human carcinogenesis is known to be initiated and/or promoted by exposure to chemicals that occur in the environment. Molecular cancer epidemiology is used to identify human environmental cancer risks by applying a range of effect biomarkers, which tend to be nonspecific and do not generate insights into underlying modes of action. Toxicogenomic technologies may improve on this by providing the opportunity to identify molecular biomarkers consisting of altered gene expression profiles. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to monitor the expression of selected genes in a random sample of adults in Flanders selected from specific regions with (presumably) different environmental burdens. Furthermore, associations of gene expression with blood and urinary measures of biomarkers of exposure, early phenotypic effects, and tumor markers were investigated. RESULTS: Individual gene expression of cytochrome p450 1B1, activating transcription factor 4, mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, superoxide dismutase 2 (Mn), chemokine (C-X-C motif) lig-and 1 (melanoma growth stimulating activity, alpha), diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase homolog 2 (mouse), tigger transposable element derived 3, and PTEN-induced putative kinase1 were measured by means of quantitative polymerase chain reaction in peripheral blood cells of 398 individuals. After correction for the confounding effect of tobacco smoking, inhabitants of the Olen region showed the highest differences in gene expression levels compared with inhabitants from the Gent and fruit cultivation regions. Importantly, we observed multiple significant correlations of particular gene expressions with blood and urinary measures of various environmental carcinogens. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the observed significant differences between gene expression levels in inhabitants of various regions in Flanders and the associations of gene expression with blood or urinary measures of environmental carcinogens, we conclude that gene expression profiling appears promising as a tool for biological monitoring in relation to environmental exposures in humans.

T1  - Development and testing of analytical models for the pebble bed type HTRs
AN  - 20974411; 8534946
AB  - The pebble bed type gas cooled high temperature reactor (HTR) appears to be a good candidate for the next generation nuclear reactor technology. These reactors have unique characteristics in terms of the randomness in geometry, and require special techniques to analyze their systems. This study includes activities concerning the testing of computational tools and the qualification of models. Indeed, it is essential that the validated analytical tools be available to the research community. From this viewpoint codes like MCNP, ORIGEN and RELAP5, which have been used in nuclear industry for many years, are selected to identify and develop new capabilities needed to support HTR analysis. The geometrical model of the full reactor is obtained by using lattice and universe facilities provided by MCNP. The coupled MCNP-ORIGEN code is used to estimate the burnup and the refuelling scheme. Results obtained from Monte Carlo analysis are interfaced with RELAP5 to analyze the thermal hydraulics and safety characteristics of the reactor. New models and methodologies are developed for several past and present experimental and prototypical facilities that were based on HTR pebble bed concepts. The calculated results are compared with available experimental data and theoretical evaluations showing very good agreement. The ultimate goal of the validation of the computer codes for pebble bed HTR applications is to acquire and reinforce the capability of these general purpose computer codes for performing HTR core design and optimization studies.

T1  - An analysis methodology for failure in postbuckling skin-stiffener interfaces
AN  - 20939422; 8375557
AB  - Blade-stiffened structures have the potential to produce highly efficient structures, particularly when the large strength reserves available after structural buckling, in the postbuckling range, are exploited. In experimental tests of postbuckling stiffened structures made from fibre-reinforced composites, failure typically initiates at the interface of the skin and stiffener and leads to rapid and even explosive failure. A methodology has been developed for analysing collapse in postbuckling composite structures that involves predicting the initiation of interlaminar damage in the skin-stiffener interface. A strength-based criterion is monitored in each ply using a local model of the skin-stiffener interface cross-section. For the analysis of large structures, a global analysis is first run to obtain the complete postbuckling deformation field, which is then input onto a local model using a global-local analysis technique. The coordinates of the local model can easily be moved to rapidly assess failure initiation at numerous skin-stiffener interface locations throughout the global structure. The analysis methodology is compared to experimental results for two-dimensional T-section specimens and large, fuselage-representative stiffened panels and is shown to give accurate predictions of the failure load and failure mechanisms. The use of the approach for the analysis of postbuckling composite structures has application for the design and certification of the next generation of aircraft.

T1  - Relations among exercise type, self-objectification, and body image in the fitness centre environment: The role of reasons for exercise
AN  - 20914679; 8435720
AB  - Objective: The study aimed to investigate different types of exercise, the role of exercise motivation and body image outcomes within the fitness centre environment. Design and method: Participants were 571 female fitness class participants recruited from fitness centres. They ranged in age from 18 to 71 years and participated in a variety of fitness activities both within and outside of the fitness centre environment. Reasons for exercise, self-objectification, body esteem, and disordered eating symptomatology were assessed using questionnaire measures. Results: Time spent exercising within the fitness centre environment was more highly related to body image and eating disturbance than time spent exercising outside of the fitness centre environment. Participation in cardio-based workouts (e.g., cardiovascular machines) was positively related to self-objectification, disordered eating behaviour, and appearance-related reasons for exercise, and negatively related to body esteem. In contrast, participation in yoga-based fitness classes was related to lower self-objectification and exercising more for health and fitness. Appearance-focused reasons for exercise were found to mediate the relationship between exercise types and self-objectification, disordered eating, and body esteem. Conclusion: The results show that the reasons women have for doing exercise provide a mechanism through which different types of exercise are associated with negative body image outcomes. Thus, despite the physical health-related benefits associated with regular physical activity, exercise motivated by appearance reasons (e.g., weight control) can lead to poorer body image in some women.

T1  - Application of partial mutual information variable selection to ANN forecasting of water quality in water distribution systems
AN  - 20887829; 8298486
AB  - Recent trends in the management of water supply have increased the need for modelling techniques that can provide reliable, efficient, and accurate representation of the complex, non-linear dynamics of water quality within water distribution systems. Statistical models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been found to be highly suited to this application, and offer distinct advantages over more conventional modelling techniques. However, many practitioners utilise somewhat heuristic or ad hoc methods for input variable selection (IVS) during ANN development. This paper describes the application of a newly proposed non-linear IVS algorithm to the development of ANN models to forecast water quality within two water distribution systems. The intention is to reduce the need for arbitrary judgement and extensive trial-and-error during model development. The algorithm utilises the concept of partial mutual information (PMI) to select inputs based on the analysis of relationship strength between inputs and outputs, and between redundant inputs. In comparison with an existing approach, the ANN models developed using the IVS algorithm are found to provide optimal prediction with significantly greater parsimony. Furthermore, the results obtained from the IVS procedure are useful for developing additional insight into the important relationships that exist between water distribution system variables.

T1  - Estimating species richness and catch per unit effort from boat electro-fishing in a lowland river in temperate Australia
AN  - 20730987; 8643702
AB  - AbstractBiodiversity estimates are typically a function of sampling effort and in this regard it is important to develop an understanding of taxon-specific sampling requirements. Northern hemisphere studies have shown that estimates of riverine fish diversity are related to sampling effort, but such studies are lacking in the southern hemisphere. We used a dataset obtained from boat electro-fishing the fish community along an essentially continuous 13-km reach of the Murrumbidgee River, Australia, to investigate sampling effort effects on fish diversity estimates. This represents the first attempt to investigate relationships between sampling effort and the detection of fish species in a large lowland river in Australia. Seven species were recorded. Species-specific patterns in catch per unit effort were evident and are discussed in terms of solitary and gregarious species, recreational fishing and the monitoring of rare and threatened species. There was a requirement to sample substantial lengths of river to describe total species richness of the fish community in this river reach. To this end, randomly allocated sampling effort and use of species richness estimators produced accurate estimates of species richness without the requirement for excessive levels of effort. Twenty operations were required to estimate species richness at this site, highlighting the need for comparable studies of river fish communities in lowland rivers elsewhere in Australia and the southern hemisphere.

T1  - DNA barcoding discriminates echinoderm species
AN  - 19762661; 8787723
AB  - DNA barcode sequences (a 657-bp segment of the mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I gene, COI) were collected from 191 species (503 specimens) of Echinodermata. All five classes were represented: Ophiuroidea, Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea and Crinoidea. About 30% of sequences were collected specifically for this study, the remainder came from GenBank. Fifty-one species were represented by multiple samples, with a mean intraspecific divergence of 0.62%. Several possible instances of cryptic speciation were noted. Thirty-two genera were represented by multiple species, with a mean congeneric divergence of 15.33%. One hundred and eighty-seven of the 191 species (97.9%) could be distinguished by their COI barcodes. Those that could not were from the echinoid genus Amblypneustes. Neighbour-joining trees of COI sequences generally showed low bootstrap support for anything other than shallow splits, although with very rare exceptions, members of the same class clustered together. Two ophiuran species, in both nucleotide and amino acid neighbour-joining trees, grouped loosely as sister taxa to Crinoidea rather than Ophiuroidea; sequences of these two species appear to have evolved very quickly. Results suggest that DNA barcoding is likely to be an effective, accurate and useful method of species diagnosis for all five classes of Echinodermata.

T1  - Evaluation of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction for enumeration of biomining microorganisms in culture
AN  - 19708418; 8578997
AB  - The microbial populations of biomining communities are complex and diverse, including bacteria, archaea and fungi. Low pH, abundance of mineral particles, presence of microorganisms in biofilms and the species diversity of microorganisms inhabiting the biomining environment has made studying these populations difficult. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) is increasingly used for the enumeration of microorganisms in the environment and has been used to study the populations in various biomining systems. This study evaluates the use of Q-PCR for the enumeration of biomining microorganisms in liquid cultures. Spectrophotometric quantification of extracted DNA was compared with a SYBR Green Q-PCR assay. The 16S rRNA gene was targeted for Q-PCR quantification of three biomining bacteria: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans and the archaeon Ferroplasma acidiphilum. Primers were designed to amplify a 390+/-35 bp region of the 16S rRNA gene. Southern blot hybridisation was used to determine the number of 16S rRNA gene copies per genome. Standard curves were constructed with DNA from Sinorhizobium meliloti and At. ferrooxidans. Using a standard curve constructed with At. ferrooxidans DNA there was no statistical difference between quantification using Q-PCR and the NanoDrop spectrophotometer (P0.05).

T1  - Modeling the response of populations of competing species to climate change
AN  - 19694064; 8832704
AB  - Biotic interactions will modulate species' responses to climate change. Many approaches to predicting the impacts of climate change on biodiversity so far have been based purely on a climate envelope approach and have not considered direct and indirect species interactions. Using a long-term observational data set (>30 years) of competing intertidal barnacle species, we built a hierarchy of age-structured two-taxa population models (Semibalanus balanoides vs. Chthamalus montagui and C. stellatus combined as one taxon) to test if the presence of a dominant competitor can mediate climatic influence on the subordinate species. Models were parameterized using data from populations on the south coast of southwest England and verified by hindcasting using independent north coast population data. Recruitment of the dominant competitor, S. balanoides, is driven by temperature. The mechanisms of competition explored included simple space preemption and temperature-driven interference competition. The results indicate that interspecific competition between juvenile barnacles is important in regulating chthamalid density but not that of the dominant competitor S. balanoides. Simulations were carried out using alternative future climate scenarios to predict barnacle population abundance over the next century. Under all emission scenarios, the cold-water S. balanoides is predicted to virtually disappear from southwest England by the 2050s, leading to the competitive release of Chthamalus throughout the entire region and thereby substantially increasing its abundance and occupied habitat (by increasing vertical range on the shore). Our results demonstrate that climate change can profoundly affect the abundance and distribution of species through both the direct effects of temperature on survival, and also by altering important negative interactions through shifting competitive balances and essentially removing dominant competitors or predators. Climate change impacts on organisms are unlikely to lead only to straightforward, easily predictable changes in population size and distribution. The complex, indirect effects of climate change need to be taken into account if we are to accurately forecast the long-term effects of global warming.

T1  - A methodology for statistical design of complex biosecurity surveillance systems
AN  - 19657180; 8852538
AB  - Biosecurity surveillance applications are typically complex, using multiple surveillance system components (SSCs) (e.g. traps, baits, structured surveys, observations), stratifying on risk and anticipating multiple, uncertain targets. We have developed a statistical design methodology for an industrial development on a high-value island nature reserve, but broadly applicable in biosecurity. The development approval requires surveillance for non-indigenous species (NIS) with statistical power of 80% (the probability of detecting the target when it is, in fact, present). We applied the design to an exemplar insect species and will develop an integrated plan for multiple exemplars intended to encompass all terrestrial invertebrates, then later apply the system to other taxa. A key aspect of the system is the use of expert judgement, since data are lacking for many of the design steps. This entails open consultation and communication, consistent with risk management principles. The system applies a cost weighting to each SSC and determines the units of each SSC required for a system optimised for cost and statistical power. We developed a GIS risk surface for the island, based on risk criteria associated with entry opportunities and habitat suitability, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. Using conditional probabilities we demonstrated there was negligible value allocating effort to low risk areas, hence we assigned all SSC units amongst six key risk areas. Detailed placement of SSC units in space and time will be undertaken by on-site biologists, working to guidelines. Future work will include application of the methodology into other biosecurity settings.

T1  - Generalised 2D-correlation NMR analysis of a wine fermentation
AN  - 19614053; 8606343
AB  - A wine fermentation has been monitored on a daily basis by super(1)H NMR spectroscopy. Following data pre-processing that includes synthesis of the spectra to ensure all peaks are of constant half-width, the series of spectra were examined using generalised two-dimensional correlation techniques. Synchronous and asynchronous data maps have been generated and employed to interpret the changes in the fermentation process as a function of time. The results illustrate the potential of high resolution NMR with multivariate data analysis as a tool for process monitoring and the manner in which two- dimensional correlation mapping can aid in data interpretation.

T1  - Impact of Historical Climate Change on the Southern Ocean Carbon Cycle
AN  - 19587351; 8828838
AB  - Climate change over the last several decades is suggested to cause a decrease in the magnitude of the uptake of CO2 by the Southern Ocean (Le Quere et al.). In this study, the atmospheric fields from NCEP R1 for the years 1948-2003 are used to drive an ocean biogeochemical model to probe how changes in the heat and freshwater fluxes and in the winds affect the Southern Ocean's uptake of carbon. Over this period, the model simulations herein show that the increases in heat and freshwater fluxes drive a net increase in Southern Ocean uptake (south of 40 degree S) while the increases in wind stresses drive a net decrease in uptake. The total Southern Ocean response is nearly identical with the simulation without climate change because the heat and freshwater flux response is approximately both equal and opposite to the wind stress response. It is also shown that any change in the Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake is always opposed by a much larger change in the natural carbon air-sea exchange. For the 1948-2003 period, the changes in the natural carbon cycle dominate the Southern Ocean carbon uptake response to climate change. However, it is shown with a simple box model that when atmospheric CO2 levels exceed the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) of the upwelled Circumpolar Deep Water ( approximately 450 mu atm) the Southern Ocean uptake response will be dominated by the changes in anthropogenic carbon uptake. Therefore, the suggestion that the Southern Ocean carbon uptake is a positive feedback to global warming is only a transient response that will change to a negative feedback in the near future if the present climate trend continues. Associated with the increased outgassing of carbon from the natural carbon cycle was a reduction in the aragonite saturation state of the high-latitude Southern Ocean (south of 60 degree S). In the simulation with just wind stress changes, the reduction in the high-latitude Southern Ocean aragonite saturation state ( approximately 0.2) was comparable to the magnitude of the decline in the aragonite saturation state over the last 4 decades because of rising atmospheric CO2 levels ( approximately 0.2). The simulation showed that climate change could significantly impact aragonite saturation state in the Southern Ocean.

T1  - Development of a methodology for the quantification of particle number and gaseous concentrations in a bidirectional bus tunnel and the derivation of emission factors
AN  - 19581863; 8614265
AB  - Particle number, NO sub(x) and CO concentrations were measured simultaneously at the air entry portal and at the mid-point of a 511m bidirectional road tunnel, used entirely by urban public transport buses. The aim of this study was to provide information on concentrations of these pollutants inside a unique bus tunnel, and to develop a viable methodology for determining emission factors for on-road vehicles. Measurements were made continuously over a period of five days that included a complete weekend. Traffic flow rate and air flow rate were also monitored. The mean particle number concentration at mid-tunnel was 4.1x10 super(4)cm super(-) super(3), which was over four times higher than the urban background concentration. The mean concentrations of NO sub(x) and CO at mid-tunnel were 464ppb and 802ppb, respectively. All these values were between 2 and 4 times higher than at the air entry portal. Median concentrations during selected time segments coinciding with the morning and evening rush hours, mid-day during weekdays and full day during the weekends were determined and the corresponding bus emission factors of each of the three parameters was calculated. Mean emission factors found for particle number, NO sub(x) and CO were 7.1x10 super(1) super(4)particleskm super(-) super(1), 8.1gkm super(-) super(1) and 15.9gkm super(-) super(1), respectively. These values compared well with previous studies, showing that the methodology adopted was sound and viable.

T1  - Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in the newly discovered invasive fruit fly pest in Africa, Bactrocera invadens (Diptera: Tephritidae)
AN  - 19415799; 8787725
AB  - We describe the isolation and characterization of 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci from the recently discovered fruit fly pest, Bactrocera invadens. The polymorphism of these loci was tested in individual flies from two natural populations (Sri Lanka and Democratic Republic of Congo). Allele number per locus ranged from three to 15 and eight loci displayed a polymorphic information content greater than 0.5. These microsatellite loci provide useful markers for studies of population dynamics and invasion history of this pest species.

T1  - Changing Expendable Bathythermograph Fall Rates and Their Impact on Estimates of Thermosteric Sea Level Rise
AN  - 19391513; 8599150
AB  - A time-varying warm bias in the global XBT data archive is demonstrated to be largely due to changes in the fall rate of XBT probes likely associated with small manufacturing changes at the factory. Deep-reaching XBTs have a different fall rate history than shallow XBTs. Fall rates were fastest in the early 1970s, reached a minimum between 1975 and 1985, reached another maximum in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and have been declining since. Field XBT/CTD intercomparisons and a pseudoprofile technique based on satellite altimetry largely confirm this time history. A global correction is presented and applied to estimates of the thermosteric component of sea level rise. The XBT fall rate minimum from 1975 to 1985 appears as a 10-yr 'warm period' in the global ocean in thermosteric sea level and heat content estimates using uncorrected data. Upon correction, the thermosteric sea level curve has reduced decadal variability and a larger, steadier long-term trend.

T1  - Metabolic Diversity in Campylobacter jejuni Enhances Specific Tissue Colonization
AN  - 19373508; 8756892
AB  - Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of foodborne illness in industrialized countries. This pathogen exhibits significant strain-to-strain variability, which results in differences in virulence potential and clinical presentations. Here, we report that acquisition of the capacity to utilize specific nutrients enhanced the ability of a highly pathogenic strain of C. jejuni to colonize specific tissues. The acquisition of a gene encoding a g-glutamyltranspeptidase enabled this strain to utilize glutamine and glutathione and enhanced its ability to colonize the intestine. Furthermore, the acquisition of a DNA segment, which added a sec- dependent secretion signal to an otherwise cytoplasmic asparaginase, allowed this pathogen to utilize asparagine and to more efficiently colonize the liver. Our results reveal that subtle genetic changes in a bacterial pathogen result in significant changes in its ability to colonize specific tissues. In addition, these studies revealed remarkably specific nutritional requirements for a pathogen to effectively colonize different tissues.

T1  - Acute Effects of Ambient Particulate Matter on Mortality in Europe and North America: Results from the APHENA Study
AN  - 14848906; 10735375
AB  - Acute effects of ambient particulate matter on mortality in Europe and North America were assessed. Air pollution measurements were obtained from fixed-site monitoring stations in each city. Based on exploratory analysis, the potential effect modification patterns were examined only for cities with complete time-series data and for the effects of the average of 2-day air pollution. Air pollution risk estimates for the Canadian cities were about 2-fold higher than those for Europe and the United States. The effect estimates for people greater than or equal to 75 years of age were consistently larger than those for people < 75 years of age. It was concluded that the study led to the development of a standardized protocol for analyses and mortality.

T1  - The effect of Alternaria brassicicola infection on the reproductive fitness of the naturally occurring littoral ruderals Cakile maritima and C. edentula
AN  - 1020849885; 16806214
AB  - Cakile maritima and C. edentula are naturalised hosts of the necrotroph Alternaria brassicicola that occur along the coast of New South Wales, Australia. The effect of infection on the growth and reproduction of both host species was investigated. Plant height, leaf number and pod number of C. maritima were reduced by up to 69, 50 and 30% of the control, respectively, and similar responses were observed for plant, pod and seed weight. Regression analysis showed that A. brassicicola infection reduced various measures of host fitness and fecundity (plant weight, pod number and weight). Negative correlations existed between disease severity and measures of plant growth and reproductive ability, but a positive correlation existed with incidence of infected seed during pod maturation. The responses of C. edentula to infection were generally similar to those of C. maritima. These data show that infection with A. brassicicola can reduce the growth and reproductive potential of C. maritima and C. edentula.

T1  - Cross mating studies among five fruit fly parasitoid populations: potential biological control implications for tephritid pests
AN  - 754887776; 13463090
AB  - The reproductive compatibility between four different species/populations of the tephritid parasitoid Psyttalia (Walker) species from Kenya and individuals of the morphologically identical Psyttalia concolor (Szepligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from a laboratory culture in Italy used in augmentative biological control of olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) was assessed through cross mating tests using single-pair and group mating methods. Reciprocal crosses among the species resulted in the production of viable offsprings up to the second generation. In spite of the successful production of viable offspring in the laboratory, Psyttalia species are known to have specific host fruit and/or host fly preferences and populations/species may be isolated in one way or the other. However, it is not known whether these populations/species interbreed in the field. We discuss the ability of these parasitoids to interbreed and the potential effects of that on their use as biological control agents, especially in environments where other closely related species are present or in situations where multiple parasitoid introductions are intended.

T1  - Institutions, motivations and public goods: An experimental test of motivational crowding
AN  - 754139934; 201023042
AB  - Contributions to public goods can be motivated by intrinsic factors such as warm glow altruism and fairness, as well as extrinsic incentives such as sanctions and payments. However, psychological studies suggest that formal extrinsic incentives may crowd out intrinsic motivations. In an experimental study of individual contributions to a public good we find that suasion crowded in voluntary contributions, while an extrinsic incentive in the form of a regulation led to crowding out. This has implications for the design of public policy where ranges of motivations are present. [Copyright Elsevier B.V.]

T1  - Role of lipid-derived free radical in bleomycin-induced lung injury in mice: availability for ESR spin trap method with organic phase extraction.
AN  - 69619429; 18827343
AB  - Bleomycin is well known as causative molecule for acute lung injury and interstitial pneumonia. The free radical production from bleomycin is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury and interstitial pneumonia. However, there was no direct evidence of free radical production in this model. Therefore, we examined in vivo radical production by mice treated with a bleomycin using electron spin resonance with the spin trap, alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone. Six hours after instillation of bleomycin, the lung exposed to bleomycin gave a lipid-derived free radical adduct, which would support evidence for in vitro lipid peroxidation resulting from bleomycin administration. In the treatment of deferoxamine, chelating agent for iron and other metals, to reduce the bleomycin induced free radical production, parallel to decrease the lipid-derived free radical production by deferoxamine, pathophysiological findings of lung injuries were improved by deferoxamine. In conclusion, this is a first paper of in vivo direct evidence of production of free radical from bleomycin-induced lung injury. It is suggested that this method may be used in many kinds of lung disease models, which have potentials of free radical production to cause lung damage.

T1  - Erasing pleasure from public discourse on illicit drugs: on the creation and reproduction of an absence.
AN  - 69584096; 17728122
AB  - In 1988, sociologist Stephen Mugford argued that the dominant framework in the drugs field was the 'pathology paradigm' and that, as a consequence, considerations of 'pleasure' in relation to drug use were marginalised. As Mugford noted, an understanding of the subjective motives for drug use, including pleasure, is an essential part of any coherent response. Twenty years on, it appears that little has changed. In this paper, I consider some of the processes that may have contributed to the ongoing absence of discourses of pleasure in the drugs field. The paper is divided into three sections. In the first, following Bourdieu, I focus on drug research as a 'social field', arguing that power relations between research disciplines work against considerations of pleasure, and that researching pleasure does not generate useful forms of research capital. Second, I argue that harm reduction policy and practice, in its construction of a neo-liberal drug-using subject, limits opportunities for considering the role of pleasure in drug use. The final section explores the broader historical and contemporary context for drug research, policy and practice by considering the discursive formations that contribute to the legitimacy granted to particular forms of pleasure in the privileging of a 'civilised' body over a 'grotesque' body.

T1  - Big and Little Brother Bilateralism: Security, Prosperity, and Canada's Deal with Colombia
AN  - 61751000; 200919547
AB  - Examines Canada's controversial bilateral trade negotiations with Colombia, a country with an abysmal human rights record & a long history of assassinating trade unionists. Canada's actions are explained in terms of a "big brother-little brother" alliance with the US under the George W. Bush administration, which sought to institutionalize North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) & investment regimes through bilateral deals with right-wing governments in the northern hemisphere. Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration also actively worked to squelch opposition to Bush's foreign policy & worked internationally to secure US strategic alliances on trade, investment, & security. The extent to which popular forces in Canada -- particularly the labor & left-wing movements -- can challenge this new conservatism & create an alternative approach to bilateral trade, investment, & economic development is explored.

T1  - Materialism on the March: From conspicuous leisure to conspicuous consumption?
AN  - 61720276; 200907904
AB  - This paper inserts Veblen's [Veblen, T., 1898, The Theory of the Leisure Class. The Viking Press, New York] concepts of conspicuous leisure and conspicuous consumption into a very simple model. Individuals have the choice to either invest their time into working, leading to easily observable levels of consumption, or into conspicuous leisure, whose effect on utility depends on how observable leisure is. We let the visibility of leisure depend positively on the amount of time an individual and her neighbors have lived in the same area. Individuals optimize across conspicuous leisure and conspicuous consumption. If population turnover is high, individuals are made worse off, since the visibility of conspicuous leisure then decreases and the status race must be played out primarily via conspicuous consumption. Analyzing interstate mobility in the US, we find strong support for our hypothesis: a 1percentage point rise in population turnover increases the average work week of non-migrants by 7 min. We end with discussing the pros and cons of mobility taxes to offset the negative externality of population turnover on the visibility of conspicuous leisure. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Inc.]

T1  - "Class Before Race": British Communism and the Place of Empire in Postwar Race Relations
AN  - 61712040; 200904686
AB  - The Communist Party of Great Britain, as the largest organization to the left of the Labour Party and an influential body within the trade union movement, occupied an important position in the anti-racist and anti-colonial movements in Britain from the 1920s until the 1970s. As black immigration from the Commonwealth flowed into Britain between the late 1940s and early 1960s, the CPGB was involved in campaigns against racism and for colonial independence. However it continually encountered the difficult task of situating its anti-racist activities within the wider class struggle. At the same time, the Party's traditional Marxist understanding of the issues of racism and colonialism were altered significantly by the decolonization process and the rise of new social movements. The CPGB viewed the issues of "race" and racism, within a Marxist framework, and this had implications for the practical issues in the struggle against racism. At the core of this problem was overcoming the traditional view on the white left of black workers as still "colonials" or "outsiders," whose problems had been subsumed within the wider class struggle.

T1  - Intrafamilial adolescent sex offenders: Family functioning and treatment
AN  - 61436447; 200902000
AB  - This paper examines the families of intra familial adolescent sex offenders attending a community-based treatment program. Qualitative and quantitative data were used to measure family functioning before and after 12 months of treatment. Families were characterised as disorganised, uncommunicative and adversarial. Most of the young offenders, many of whom were themselves victims of abuse, came from step, blended or foster families. Seventy-four percent had no, or minimal, contact with at least one biological parent. Conflicts between family members were rarely resolved satisfactorily. After treatment, interviewees reported better family communication and fewer conflicts; there were also significant improvements on a measure of family functioning. Adolescents and their parents reported improvements in self-control, social skills and emotional regulation. Improvements were more likely when at least one parent was engaged in treatment. These findings emphasise the need for treatment to target parents as well as the adolescent offender when intrafamilial sexual abuse occurs. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Market Responsiveness versus Political Responsiveness: Change and Conflict in an Australian Government Agency
AN  - 59845352; 200901650
AB  - Considerable attention has recently been given to possible contradictions between public sector reform initiatives aimed at making agencies more responsive to political institutions and publics, and initiatives designed to make them more responsive to markets. This article reports on a study that demonstrates ways in which tensions and conflict can arise within a government agency when the aims of political responsiveness and market responsiveness are pursued simultaneously. The study also shows that conflict arises not only from contradictions between political and market responsiveness, but also from failures in organizational structure and change implementation strategies. Despite this, it is possible that the contradictions between the reforms need not be fatal if integrative structures are adopted and if conditions are created for effective participation and collaboration.

T1  - Australia's Resource Use Trajectories
AN  - 58783939; 2008-254057
AB  - Australia's export-oriented large natural resources sectors of agriculture and mining, the ways large-scale services, such as nutrition, water, housing, transport and mobility and energy are organized, and the consumption patterns of Australia's wealthy urban households, create a unique pattern of overall resource use in Australia. In an attempt to contribute to a new environmental information system compatible with economic accounts, we represent Australia's resource use by employing standard biophysical indicators for resource use developed within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) context. We look at the last 3 decades of resource use and the economic, social, and environmental implications. We also discuss scenarios of future resource use patterns based on a stocks and flows model of the Australian economy. We argue that current extractive economic patterns have contributed to the recent economic boom in Australia but will eventually lead to negative social and environmental outcomes. Although there is currently little evidence of political support for changing the economic focus on export-oriented agriculture and mining industries, there is significant potential for improvements in socio-technological systems and room for more sustainable household consumption.

T1  - The Emperor's New Repository
AN  - 57703123; 200900459
AB  - Looks at three mistakes that must be avoided in building a digital repository. The first mistake to avoid is fetishizing software products or projects. many free software options. If you think you need specialized software to build your repository then the key thing is to get started with a tool that looks like a roughly good fit. The second mistake to avoid is forgetting that those in charge are the repository. As with any other materials in a library, it is ultimately up to those working in the library to set, maintain, and uphold policies for collection development, access, maintenance, and retention. A third mistake that is easy to make is to overthink what a "digital object" might be. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - The Shape of Things to Come: Gay Men's Satisfaction With Specific Body Parts
AN  - 57264325; 200900594
AB  - Gender Role Strain paradigm proposes that individuals experience negative psychological consequences as a result of gender role discrepancy. Research examining men's body image concerns illustrates that gay men are at increased risk for experiencing body dissatisfaction and its associated consequences. Yet, little research has examined gay men's concerns with specific body parts. Accordingly, the present study explored gay men's satisfaction with their head hair, body hair, height, and penis size, in addition to their body weight and muscularity. Ninety-two gay men completed a questionnaire assessing their satisfaction with each of these body parts. Results revealed that gay men were most dissatisfied with their body hair and muscularity, though dissatisfaction was exhibited for all of the body parts. All body parts were perceived as important to perceptions of one's self as physically attractive, though body weight and muscularity were seen as the most important in this domain. Despite this, gay men did not worry much about the perceived shortcomings of these body parts. It was concluded that gay men's body image concerns are broadly similar to those of heterosexual men.

T1  - An Examination of the Influences on Health-Protective Behaviours among Australian Men
AN  - 57255094; 200901237
AB  - Men are more likely to experience poorer health than women, yet stereotypically they demonstrate a reluctance to engage in appropriate health-protective behaviours, defined in the current study as health monitoring and risk-factor modification. Using 214 participants, aged 25-65, from the general Australian community as subjects, the study explored the influence of four proposed predictors of such behaviours. Participants completed a questionnaire that included measures of health status, masculinity, social support and somatic awareness. Although previous research has identified masculinity as a dominant predictor of men's health-protective behaviours, the current study did not replicate this finding. In contrast, results suggest that men's decisions to engage in appropriate health-protective behaviours are primarily influenced by age and current health status. Evidence for the motivational role of masculinity, social support and somatic awareness was modest, and reserved for more personal and challenging behaviours such as cancer screening checks.

T1  - Case-Control Study of Blood Lead Levels and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Chinese Children
AN  - 21402126; 12103986
AB  - BACKGROUND: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and lead exposure are high-prevalence conditions among children. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to investigate the association between ADHD and blood lead levels (BLLs) in Chinese children, adjusting for known ADHD risk factors and potential confounding variables. METHODS: We conducted a pair-matching case-control study with 630 ADHD cases and 630 non-ADHD controls 4-12 years of age, matched on the same age, sex, and socioeconomic status. The case and control children were systematically evaluated via structured diagnostic interviews, including caregiver interviews, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed., revised criteria (DSM-IV-R). We evaluated the association between BLLs and ADHD using the Pearson chi-square test for categorical variables and the Student t-test for continuous data. We then performed conditional multiple variables logistic regression analyses with backward stepwise selection to predict risk factors for ADHD. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in BLLs between ADHD cases and controls. ADHD cases were more likely to have been exposed to lead during childhood than the non-ADHD control subjects, with adjustment for other known risk factors [children with BLLs or= 10 microg/dL vs. or= 5 microg/dL; OR = 6.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.10-8.77, p 0.01; 5-10 microg/dL vs.or= 5 microg/dL, OR = 4.9; 95% CI = 3.47-6.98, p 0.01]. These results were not modified by age and sex variables. CONCLUSIONS: This was the largest sample size case-control study to date to study the association between BLLs and ADHD in Chinese children. ADHD may be an additional deleterious outcome of lead exposure during childhood, even when BLLs are 10 microg/dL.

T1  - Ozone and Other Air Pollutants and the Risk of Oral Clefts
AN  - 21402059; 12103981
AB  - BACKGROUND: Air pollution influences the development of oral clefts in animals. There are few epidemiologic data on the relation of prenatal air pollution exposure and the risk of oral clefts. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this study was to assess the relations between exposure to ambient air pollution and the risk of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P). METHODS: We conducted a population-based case-control study of all 653 cases of CL/P and a random sample of 6,530 control subjects from 721,289 Taiwanese newborns in 2001-2003. We used geographic information systems to form exposure parameters for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter or= 10 microm (PM10) during the first 3 months of pregnancy using inverse distance weighting method. We present the effect estimates as odds ratios (ORs) per 10-ppb change for SO2, NO(x), and O3, 100-ppb change for CO, and 10-microg/m3 change for PM10. RESULTS: The risk of CL/P was increased in relation to O3 levels in the first gestational month [adjusted OR = 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-1.39] and second gestational month (adjusted OR = 1.25; 95% CI, 1.03-1.52) in the range from 16.7 ppb to 45.1 ppb, but was not related to CO, NO(x), SO2, or PM10. CONCLUSIONS: The study provides new evidence that exposure to outdoor air O3 during the first and second month of pregnancy may increase the risk of CL/P. Similar levels of O3 are encountered globally by large numbers of pregnant women.

T1  - Exposure of Neonatal Rats to Parathion Elicits Sex-Selective Impairment of Acetylcholine Systems in Brain Regions during Adolescence and Adulthood
AN  - 21399392; 12103997
AB  - BACKGROUND: Organophosphates elicit developmental neurotoxicity through multiple mechanisms other than their shared property as cholinesterase inhibitors. Accordingly, these agents may differ in their effects on specific brain circuits. OBJECTIVES: We gave parathion to neonatal rats [postnatal days (PNDs) 1-4], at daily doses of 0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg, spanning the threshold for barely detectable cholinesterase inhibition and systemic effects. METHODS: We assessed neurochemical indices related to the function of acetylcholine (ACh) synapses (choline acetyltransferase, presynaptic high-affinity choline transporter, nicotinic cholinergic receptors) in brain regions comprising all the major ACh projections, with determinations carried out from adolescence to adulthood (PNDs 30, 60, and 100). RESULTS: Parathion exposure elicited lasting alterations in ACh markers in the frontal/parietal cortex, temporal/occipital cortex, midbrain, hippocampus, and striatum. In cerebrocortical areas, midbrain, and hippocampus, effects in males were generally greater than in females, whereas in the striatum, females were targeted preferentially. Superimposed on this general pattern, the cerebrocortical effects showed a nonmonotonic dose-response relationship, with regression of the defects at the higher parathion dose; this relationship has been seen also after comparable treatments with chlorpyrifos and diazinon and likely represents the involvement of cholinesterase-related actions that mask or offset the effects of lower doses. CONCLUSIONS: Neonatal exposure to parathion, at doses straddling the threshold for cholinesterase inhibition, compromises indices of ACh synaptic function in adolescence and adulthood. Differences between the effects of parathion compared with chlorpyrifos or diazinon and the non-monotonic dose-effect relationships reinforce the conclusion that various organophosphates diverge in their effects on neurodevelopment, unrelated to their anticholinesterase actions.

T1  - Urinary Cadmium and Osteoporosis in U.S. Women [Greater-Than Or Equal To] 50 Years of Age: NHANES 1988-1994 and 1999-2004
AN  - 21399371; 12103909
AB  - BACKGROUND: Urinary cadmium (U-Cd) has been associated with decreased peripheral bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis. This association, however, has not been confirmed using femoral BMD, the international standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, at levels 1.0 microg Cd/g creatinine. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to investigate the statistical association between U-Cd, at levels or= 1 microg/g creatinine, and osteoporosis, as indicated by hip BMD and self-report in a population-based sample of U.S. women or= 50 years of age. METHODS: We drew data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys for 1988-1994 (n = 3,207) and 1999-2004 (n = 1,051). Osteoporosis was indicated by hip BMD cutoffs based on the international standard and self-report of physician diagnosis. We analyzed U-Cd levels for association with osteoporosis using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Women or= 50 years of age with U-Cd levels between 0.50 and 1.00 microg/g creatinine were at 43% greater risk for hip-BMD-defined osteoporosis, relative to those with levels or= 0.50 microg/g (odds ratio = 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-2.00; p = 0.04). We observed similar effect estimates using self-report of physician-diagnosed osteoporosis. Smokers did not show a statistically increased risk. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that U.S. women are at risk for osteoporosis at U-Cd levels below the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's 3-microg/g safety standard. Given null findings among smokers, dietary Cd, rather than tobacco, is the likely source of Cd-related osteoporosis risk for the U.S. female population or= 50 years of age.

T1  - Prenatal Exposure to Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and Maternally Reported Developmental Milestones in Infancy
AN  - 21398794; 12103985
AB  - BACKGROUND: Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are fluorinated organic compounds present in the general population at low concentrations. Animal studies have shown that they may affect neuromuscular development at high concentrations. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between plasma levels of PFOS and PFOA in pregnant women and motor and mental developmental milestones of their children. METHODS: We randomly selected 1,400 pairs of pregnant women and their children from the Danish National Birth Cohort. PFOS and PFOA were measured in maternal blood samples taken in early pregnancy. Apgar score was abstracted from the National Hospital Discharge Register in Denmark. Developmental milestones were reported by mothers using highly structured questionnaires when the children were around 6 months and 18 months of age. RESULTS: Mothers who had higher levels of PFOA and PFOS gave birth to children who had similar Apgar scores and reached virtually all of the development milestones at the same time as children born to mothers with lower exposure levels. Children who were born to mothers with higher PFOS levels were slightly more likely to start sitting without support at a later age. CONCLUSION: We found no convincing associations between developmental milestones in early childhood and levels of PFOA or PFOS as measured in maternal plasma early in pregnancy.

T1  - Hydroxylated Metabolites of the Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether Mixture DE-71 Are Weak Estrogen Receptor-[alpha] Ligands
AN  - 21398766; 12103910
AB  - BACKGROUND: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are widely found in the environment and are suspected endocrine disruptors. We previously identified six hydroxylated metabolites of PBDE (OH-PBDEs) in treated mice. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that OH-PBDEs would interact with and alter activity of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha). METHODS: We tested estrogenicity using two assays: 3H-estradiol (3H-E2) displacement from recombinant ER-alpha and induction of reporter gene (ERE-luciferase) in cultured cells. We incubated the PBDE mixture DE-71 with rat liver microsomes and tested the resultant metabolite mixture for estrogenic activity. We also determined relative estrogenic potential of individual hydroxylated PBDE congeners. RESULTS: Reporter gene activity was increased by DE-71 that had been subjected to microsomal metabolism. DE-71 did not displace E2 from ER-alpha, but all six of the OH-PBDE metabolites did. para-Hydroxylated metabolites displayed a 10- to 30-fold higher affinity for ER-alpha compared with ortho-hydroxylated PBDEs, and one produced a maximal effect 30% higher than that produced by E2. Coadministration of E2 and DE-71, or certain of its metabolites, yielded reporter activity greater than either chemical alone. Two ortho-OH-PBDEs were antiestrogenic in the reporter assay. CONCLUSIONS: The observations--that the DE-71 mixture did not displace 3H-E2 from ER-alpha while the hydroxylated metabolites did-suggest that the weak estrogenic effects of DE-71 are due to metabolic activation of individual congeners. However, the behavior of DE-71 and its metabolites, when co-administered with E2, suggest a secondary, undetermined mechanism from classical ER-alpha activation.

T1  - Respiratory and Other Health Effects Reported in Children Exposed to the World Trade Center Disaster of 11 September 2001
AN  - 21395955; 12103984
AB  - BACKGROUND: Effects of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster on children's respiratory health have not been definitively established. OBJECTIVE: This report describes respiratory health findings among children who were 18 years of age on 11 September 2001 (9/11) and examine associations between disaster-related exposures and respiratory health. METHODS: Children recruited for the WTC Health Registry (WTCHR) included child residents and students (kindergarten through 12th grade) in Manhattan south of Canal Street, children who were south of Chambers Street on 9/11, and adolescent disaster-related workers or volunteers. We collected data via computer-assisted telephone interviews in 2003-2004, with interview by adult proxy for children still 18 years of age at that time. We compared age-specific asthma prevalence with National Health Interview Survey estimates. RESULTS: Among 3,184 children enrolled, 28% were 5 years of age on 9/11; 34%, 5-11 years; and 39%, 12-17 years. Forty-five percent had a report of dust cloud exposure on 9/11. Half (53%) reported at least one new or worsened respiratory symptom, and 5.7% reported new asthma diagnoses. Before 9/11, age-specific asthma prevalence in enrolled children was similar to national estimates, but prevalence at interview was elevated among enrollees 5 years of age. Dust cloud exposure was associated with new asthma diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio = 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-3.5). CONCLUSIONS: Asthma prevalence after 9/11 among WTCHR enrollees 5 years of age was higher than national estimates, and new asthma diagnosis was associated with dust cloud exposure in all age groups. We will determine severity of asthma and persistence of other respiratory symptoms on follow-up surveys.

T1  - Lead Exposures in U.S. Children, 2008: Implications for Prevention
AN  - 21395511; 12104000
AB  - OBJECTIVE: We reviewed the sources of lead in the environments of U.S. children, contributions to children's blood lead levels, source elimination and control efforts, and existing federal authorities. Our context is the U.S. public health goal to eliminate pediatric elevated blood lead levels (EBLs) by 2010. DATA SOURCES: National, state, and local exposure assessments over the past half century have identified risk factors for EBLs among U.S. children, including age, race, income, age and location of housing, parental occupation, and season. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Recent national policies have greatly reduced lead exposure among U.S. children, but even very low exposure levels compromise children's later intellectual development and lifetime achievement. No threshold for these effects has been demonstrated. Although lead paint and dust may still account for up to 70% of EBLs in U.S. children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that or=30% of current EBLs do not have an immediate lead paint source, and numerous studies indicate that lead exposures result from multiple sources. EBLs and even deaths have been associated with inadequately controlled sources including ethnic remedies and goods, consumer products, and food-related items such as ceramics. Lead in public drinking water and in older urban centers remain exposure sources in many areas. CONCLUSIONS: Achieving the 2010 goal requires maintaining current efforts, especially programs addressing lead paint, while developing interventions that prevent exposure before children are poisoned. It also requires active collaboration across all levels of government to identify and control all potential sources of lead exposure, as well as primary prevention.

T1  - Marked Liver Tumorigenesis by Helicobacter hepaticus Requires Perinatal Exposure
AN  - 21395470; 12103992
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although severe hepatitis and liver tumors occur in a high percentage of A/J male mice naturally infected with Helicobacter hepaticus, these effects have not been observed after injection of adult mice with the bacteria. OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that perinatal exposure to the bacteria is required for liver tumorigenesis. METHODS: A/J female mice were infected by intragastric (ig) or intraperitoneal (ip) treatment with 1.5 x 10(8) H. hepaticus before pregnancy. We examined offspring at progressive time intervals, including some kept until natural death in old age. A/J, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 weanling male mice were similarly treated ig with the bacteria and observed for up to 2 years. RESULTS: After ip bacterial infection of A/J females, 41% of their male offspring developed hepatitis and 33% had hepatocellular tumors, including 18% with hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment by the ig route resulted in a similar incidence of hepatitis in offspring (35%) but fewer total liver tumors (8%) and carcinomas (4%). By contrast, ig instillation of H. hepaticus in weanling A/J, C57BL/6, or BALB/c mice resulted in low incidence of hepatitis (0-20%) and few liver tumors, despite presence of bacteria confirmed in feces. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that a high incidence of liver tumors in mice infected with H. hepaticus requires perinatal exposure. Contributing perinatal factors could include known high sensitivity of neonatal liver to tumor initiation, and/or modulation of immune response to the bacterium or its toxins. Mechanisms of human perinatal sensitivity to such phenomena can be studied with this model.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Risk assessment of human environmental exposure to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDFs) and other dioxin-like compounds is complicated by several factors, including limitations in measuring intakes because of the low concentrations of these compounds in foods and the environment and interspecies differences in pharmacokinetics and responses. OBJECTIVES: We examined the feasibility of relying directly on human studies of exposure and potential responses to PCDD/PCDFs and related compounds in terms of measured lipid-adjusted concentrations to assess margin of exposure (MOE) in a quantitative, benchmark dose (BMD)-based framework using representative exposure and selected response data sets. METHODS: We characterize estimated central tendency and upper-bound general U.S. population lipid-adjusted concentrations of PCDD/PCDFs from the 1970s and early 2000s based on available data sets. Estimates of benchmark concentrations for three example responses of interest (induction of cytochrome P4501A2 activity, dental anomalies, and neonatal thyroid hormone alterations) were derived based on selected human studies. RESULTS: The exposure data sets indicate that current serum lipid concentrations in young adults are approximately 6- to 7-fold lower than 1970s-era concentrations. Estimated MOEs for each end point based on current serum lipid concentrations range from 10 for neonatal thyroid hormone concentrations to 100 for dental anomalies-approximately 6-fold greater than would have existed during the 1970s. CONCLUSIONS: Human studies of dioxin exposure and outcomes can be used in a BMD framework for quantitative assessments of MOE. Incomplete exposure characterization can complicate the use of such studies in a BMD framework.

T1  - Impairment of NO-Dependent Relaxation in Intralobar Pulmonary Arteries: Comparison of Urban Particulate Matter and Manufactured Nanoparticles
AN  - 21385309; 12103998
AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Because pulmonary circulation is the primary vascular target of inhaled particulate matter (PM), and nitric oxide is a major vasculoprotective agent, in this study we investigated the effect of various particles on the NO-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway in pulmonary arteries. METHODS: We used intrapulmonary arteries and/or endothelial cells, either exposed in vitro to particles or removed from PM-instilled animals for assessment of vasomotricity, cGMP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and cytokine/chemokine release. RESULTS: Endothelial NO-dependent relaxation and cGMP accumulation induced by acetylcholine (ACh) were both decreased after 24 hr exposure of rat intrapulmonary arteries to standard reference material 1648 (SRM1648; urban PM). Relaxation due to NO donors was also decreased by SRM1648, whereas responsiveness to cGMP analogue remained unaffected. Unlike SRM1648, ultrafine carbon black and ultrafine and fine titanium dioxide (TiO2) manufactured particles did not impair NO-mediated relaxation. SRM1648-induced decrease in relaxation response to ACh was prevented by dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory agent) but not by antioxidants. Accordingly, SRM1648 increased the release of proinflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-8) from intrapulmonary arteries or pulmonary artery endothelial cells, but did not elevate ROS levels within intrapulmonary arteries. Decreased relaxation in response to ACh was also evidenced in intrapulmonary arteries removed from rats intratracheally instilled with SRM1648, but not with fine TiO2. CONCLUSION: In contrast to manufactured particles (including nanoparticles), urban PM impairs NO but not cGMP responsiveness in intrapulmonary arteries. We attribute this effect to oxidative-stress-independent inflammatory response, resulting in decreased guanylyl cyclase activation by NO. Such impairment of the NO pathway may contribute to urban-PM-induced cardiovascular dysfunction.

T1  - Association between Traffic-Related Black Carbon Exposure and Lung Function among Urban Women
AN  - 21385263; 12103994
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although a number of studies have documented the relationship between lung function and traffic-related pollution among children, few have focused on adult lung function or examined community-based populations. OBJECTIVE: We examined the relationship between black carbon (BC), a surrogate of traffic-related particles, and lung function among women in the Maternal-Infant Smoking Study of East Boston, an urban cohort in Boston, Massachusetts. METHODS: We estimated local BC levels using a validated spatiotemporal land-use regression model, derived using ambient and indoor monitor data. We examined associations between percent predicted pulmonary function and predicted BC using linear regression, adjusting for sociodemographics (individual and neighborhood levels), smoking status, occupational exposure, type of cooking fuel, and a diagnosis of asthma or chronic bronchitis. RESULTS: The sample of 272 women 18-42 years of age included 57% who self-identified as Hispanic versus 43% white, and 18% who were current smokers. Mean +/- SD predicted annual BC exposure level was 0.62 +/- 0.2 microg/m3. In adjusted analysis, BC (per interquartile range increase) was associated with a 1.1% decrease [95% confidence interval (CI), -2.5% to 0.3%] in forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, a 0.6% decrease (95% CI, -1.9% to 0.6%) in forced vital capacity, and a 3.0% decrease (95% CI, -5.8% to -0.2%) in forced mid-expiratory flow rate. We noted differential effects by smoking status in that former smokers were most affected by BC exposure, whereas current smokers were not affected. CONCLUSION: In this cohort, exposure to traffic-related BC, a component of particulate matter, independently predicted decreased lung function in urban women, when adjusting for tobacco smoke, asthma diagnosis, and socioeconomic status.

T1  - The Influence of Living Near Roadways on Spirometry and Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Elementary Schoolchildren
AN  - 21375347; 12103982
AB  - BACKGROUND: Living near major roadways has been associated with an increase in respiratory symptoms, but little is known about how this relates to airway inflammation. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the effects of living near local residential roadways based on objective indicators of ventilatory function and airway inflammation. METHODS: We estimated ambient air pollution, resolved to the level of the child's neighborhood, using a land-use regression model for children 9-11 years of age. We also summed the length of roadways found within a 200-m radius of each child's neighborhood. We had measurements of both air pollution exposure and spirometry for 2,328 children, and also had measurements of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) for 1,613 of these children. RESULTS: Each kilometer of local roadway within a 200-m radius of the home was associated with a 6.8% increase in eNO (p = 0.045). Each kilometer of any type of roadway (local, major, highway) was also associated with an increase in eNO of 10.1% (p = 0.002). Each microgram per cubic meter increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 3.9% increase in eNO (p = 0.058) and 0.70% decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC) expressed as a percentage of predicted (p = 0.39). Associations between roadway density and both forced expired volume in 1 sec and FVC were negative but not statistically significant at p 0.05. CONCLUSION: Traffic from local neighborhood roadways may cause airway inflammation as indicated by eNO. This may be a more sensitive indicator of adverse air pollution effects than traditional measures of ventilatory function.

T1  - Built Environment and Physical Functioning in Hispanic Elders: The Role of "Eyes on the Street"
AN  - 21372488; 12103999
AB  - BACKGROUND: Research on neighborhood effects increasingly includes the influences of the built environment on health and social well-being. OBJECTIVES: In this population-based study in a low-socioeconomic-status (SES), Hispanic neighborhood, we examined whether architectural features of the built environment theorized to promote direct observations and interactions (e.g., porches, stoops) predicted Hispanic elders' social support and psychological and physical functioning. METHODS: We coded built-environment features for all 3,857 lots in the 403-block area of an urban Miami, Florida, community. We then conducted three annual assessments of social support, psychological distress, and physical functioning in a population-based sample of 273 low-SES Hispanic elders (70-100 years of age). We used structural equation modeling analytic techniques to examine hypothesized relationships between the built environment and elders' social support, psychological distress, and physical functioning over a 3-year period. RESULTS: After controlling for age, sex, and income, architectural features of the built environment theorized to facilitate visual and social contact had a significant direct relationship with elders' physical functioning as measured 3 years later, and an indirect relationship through social support and psychological distress. Further binomial regression analyses suggested that elders living on blocks marked by low levels of positive front entrance features were 2.7 times as likely to have subsequent poor levels of physical functioning, compared with elders living on blocks with a greater number of positive front entrance features [b = 0.99; chi(2) (1 df) = 3.71; p = 0.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-7.3]. CONCLUSIONS: Architectural features that facilitate visual and social contacts may be a protective factor for elders' physical functioning.

T1  - Differences in Heart Rate Variability Associated with Long-Term Exposure to NOsub 2
AN  - 21372427; 12103991
AB  - BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiac autonomic tone, has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Short-term studies have shown that subjects exposed to higher traffic-associated air pollutant levels have lower HRV. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the effect of long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide on HRV in the Swiss cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults (SAPALDIA). METHODS: We recorded 24-hr electrocardiograms in randomly selected SAPALDIA participants or= 50 years of age. Other examinations included an interview investigating health status and measurements of blood pressure, body height, and weight. Annual exposure to NO2 at the address of residence was predicted by hybrid models (i.e., a combination of dispersion predictions, land-use, and meteorologic parameters). We estimated the association between NO2 and HRV in multivariable linear regression models. Complete data for analyses were available for 1,408 subjects. RESULTS: For women, but not for men, each 10-microg/m3 increment in 1-year averaged NO2 level was associated with a decrement of 3% (95% CI, -4 to -1) for the standard deviation of all normal-to-normal RR intervals (SDNN), -6% (95% CI, -11 to -1) for nighttime low frequency (LF), and -5% (95% CI, -9 to 0) for nighttime LF/high-frequency (HF) ratio. We saw no significant effect for 24-hr total power (TP), HF, LF, or LF/HF or for nighttime SDNN, TP, or HF. In subjects with self-reported cardiovascular problems, SDNN decreased by 4% (95% CI, -8 to -1) per 10-microg/m3 increase in NO2. CONCLUSIONS: There is some evidence that long-term exposure to NO2 is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction in elderly women and in subjects with cardiovascular disease.

T1  - Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Asthma Onset in Children: A Prospective Cohort Study with Individual Exposure Measurement
AN  - 21372405; 12103988
AB  - BACKGROUND: The question of whether air pollution contributes to asthma onset remains unresolved. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we assessed the association between asthma onset in children and traffic-related air pollution. METHODS: We selected a sample of 217 children from participants in the Southern California Children's Health Study, a prospective cohort designed to investigate associations between air pollution and respiratory health in children 10-18 years of age. Individual covariates and new asthma incidence (30 cases) were reported annually through questionnaires during 8 years of follow-up. Children had nitrogen dioxide monitors placed outside their home for 2 weeks in the summer and 2 weeks in the fall-winter season as a marker of traffic-related air pollution. We used multilevel Cox models to test the associations between asthma and air pollution. RESULTS: In models controlling for confounders, incident asthma was positively associated with traffic pollution, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.29 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-1.56] across the average within-community interquartile range of 6.2 ppb in annual residential NO2. Using the total interquartile range for all measurements of 28.9 ppb increased the HR to 3.25 (95% CI, 1.35-7.85). CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, markers of traffic-related air pollution were associated with the onset of asthma. The risks observed suggest that air pollution exposure contributes to new-onset asthma.

T1  - Urinary Porphyrin Excretion in Children is Associated with Exposure to Organochlorine Compounds
AN  - 21361085; 12103987
AB  - BACKGROUND: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and other organochlorines induce porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) in animal studies. Evidence in humans, however, is contradictory. In neonates and adults from a population historically highly exposed to HCB (Flix, Catalonia, Spain), no relation with PCT or with porphyrin excretion was found. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to analyze the association between urinary porphyrin excretion and exposure to HCB and other organochlorinated compounds in children 4 years of age. METHODS: Our birth cohort included all newborns from Flix and the five surrounding towns (where no airborne pollution occurred). Among the 68 children with porphyrins we measured in cord blood, 52 children 4 years of age provided blood to measure organochlorine compounds, hair for methylmercury, and urine for porphyrin excretion pattern. RESULTS: Quantitative porphyrin excretion was within the normal values. However, total porphyrins, coproporphyrin I (CPI), and coproporphyrin III (CPIII) adjusted to creatinine excretion increased with increasing levels of HCB, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p'-DDE), 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (p,p'-DDT), and polychlorinated biphenyl congener 153 (PCB-153). We found no association with methylmercury. When we fitted multiple pollutant models, p,p'-DDE had the strongest association. We found these associations in children from both Flix and other towns, and they were independent of breast-feeding and of organochlorine and porphyrin levels at birth. CONCLUSION: HCB at current levels did not induce porphyria or increase uroporphyrins. However, the increase of urinary coproporphyrins suggests an incipient toxic effect of the organochlorines, especially for p,p'-DDE, on the hepatic heme-synthesis pathway that differs from the major effects seen in PCT.

T1  - The Relationship between Prenatal PCB Exposure and Intelligence (IQ) in 9-Year-Old Children
AN  - 21356276; 12103980
AB  - BACKGROUND: Several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated relationships between prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and modest cognitive impairments in infancy and early childhood. However, few studies have followed cohorts of exposed children long enough to examine the possible impact of prenatal PCB exposure on psychometric intelligence in later childhood. Of the few studies that have done so, one in the Great Lakes region of the United States reported impaired IQ in children prenatally exposed to PCBs, whereas another found no association. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to determine whether environmental exposure to PCBs predicts lower IQ in school-age children in the Great Lakes region of the northeastern United States. METHODS: We measured prenatal exposure to PCBs and IQ at 9 years of age in 156 subjects from Oswego, New York. We also measured 50 potential predictors of intelligence in children, including repeated measures of the home environment [Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME)], socioeconomic status (SES), parental IQ, alcohol/cigarette use, neonatal risk factors, and nutrition. RESULTS: For each 1-ng/g (wet weight) increase in PCBs in placental tissue, Full Scale IQ dropped by three points (p = 0.02), and Verbal IQ dropped by four points (p = 0.003). The median PCB level was 1.50 ng/g, with a lower quartile of 1.00 ng/g and an upper quartile of 2.06 ng/g. Moreover, this association was significant after controlling for many potential confounders, including prenatal exposure to methylmercury, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, hexachlorobenzene, and lead. CONCLUSIONS: These results, in combination with similar results obtained from a similar study in the Great Lakes conducted 10 years earlier, indicate that prenatal PCB exposure in the Great Lakes region is associated with lower IQ in children.

T1  - Birth Delivery Mode Modifies the Associations between Prenatal Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) and Neonatal Thyroid Hormone Levels
AN  - 21349539; 12103983
AB  - BACKGROUND: Developing infants may be especially sensitive to hormone disruption from chemicals including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). OBJECTIVE: We investigated relationships between cord serum levels of PCBs and PBDEs and thyroid hormones measured in cord blood serum and neonatal blood spots. METHODS: We measured PCBs and PBDEs, thyrotropin (TSH), thyroxine (T4) and free T4 (FT4) in cord blood serum from 297 infants who were delivered at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2004-2005. We abstracted results of total T4 (TT4) measured in blood spots collected in the hospital and at neonatal visits. We used delivery mode (augmented vaginal deliveries and nonelective cesarean deliveries) as a surrogate for intrapartum stress, which is known to alter cord blood thyroid hormones. RESULTS: In the full study population, no compounds were associated with a change in average TSH, FT4, or TT4. BDE-100 was associated with increased odds of low cord TT4, BDE-153 with increased odds of low cord TT4 and FT4, and no compounds were associated with increased odds of high TSH. For infants born by spontaneous, vaginal, unassisted deliveries, PCBs were associated with lower cord TT4 and FT4 and lower TT4 measured in neonatal blood spots. PBDEs showed consistent but mainly nonsignificant negative associations with TT4 and FT4 measurements. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal PCB and PBDE exposures were associated with reduced TT4 and FT4 levels among infants born by spontaneous, unassisted vaginal delivery. Intrapartum stress associated with delivery mode may mask hormonal effects of PCBs and PBDEs.

T1  - Lung Cancer and Vehicle Exhaust in Trucking Industry Workers
AN  - 21348669; 12103995
AB  - BACKGROUND: An elevated risk of lung cancer in truck drivers has been attributed to diesel exhaust exposure. Interpretation of these studies specifically implicating diesel exhaust as a carcinogen has been limited because of limited exposure measurements and lack of work records relating job title to exposure-related job duties. OBJECTIVES: We established a large retrospective cohort of trucking company workers to assess the association of lung cancer mortality and measures of vehicle exhaust exposure. METHODS: Work records were obtained for 31,135 male workers employed in the unionized U.S. trucking industry in 1985. We assessed lung cancer mortality through 2000 using the National Death Index, and we used an industrial hygiene review and current exposure measurements to identify jobs associated with current and historical use of diesel-, gas-, and propane-powered vehicles. We indirectly adjusted for cigarette smoking based on an industry survey. RESULTS: Adjusting for age and a healthy-worker survivor effect, lung cancer hazard ratios were elevated in workers with jobs associated with regular exposure to vehicle exhaust. Mortality risk increased linearly with years of employment and was similar across job categories despite different current and historical patterns of exhaust-related particulate matter from diesel trucks, city and highway traffic, and loading dock operations. Smoking behavior did not explain variations in lung cancer risk. CONCLUSIONS: Trucking industry workers who have had regular exposure to vehicle exhaust from diesel and other types of vehicles on highways, city streets, and loading docks have an elevated risk of lung cancer with increasing years of work.

T1  - Biomechanical Effects of Immobilization and Rehabilitation on the Skeletal Muscle of Trained and Sedentary Rats
AN  - 21321729; 11901402
AB  - Because of the scarcity of information about the comparison of training to sedentarism beforehand immobilization and rehabilitation through muscle mechanical properties, the present work investigates this theme. Seventy rats were divided into 7 groups: 1-control (C); 2-trained (T); 3-sedentary (S); 4-trained and immobilized (TI); 5-sedentary and immobilized (SI); 6-trained, immobilized and rehabilitated (TIR); 7-sedentary, immobilized and rehabilitated (SIR). Interventions: Swimming training; Sedentarism (reduced size cages); Cast immobilization (pelvic limb) and water rehabilitation. Load at the limit of proportionality (LLP), maximum limit load (MLL) and stiffness (St) were the mechanical properties determined after a mechanical test of traction of the gastrocnemius. The training improved all mechanical properties when compared to sedentarism. After immobilization, LLP and MLL were reduced in TI and SI. However, there was no difference in St between C and TI. Additionally, TI showed improved MLL when compared to SI. The comparison of TI and TIR showed significant melioration in all properties after remobilization. SIR showed an improvement only in MLL when compared to SI. Significant melioration in LLP and St was observed in TIR compared to SIR. We demonstrated that the training before immobilization and rehabilitation had a positive effect on the muscle mechanical behavior compared to sedentarism. This analysis is of fundamental importance because it helps characterize the muscle tissue under different functional demands.

T1  - Effectiveness of phosphate and potash rocks with Acidithiobacillus on sugarcane yield and their effects on soil chemical attributes
AN  - 21269716; 11887366
AB  - Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of biofertilizers produced from phosphate and potash rocks mixed with sulfur inoculated with Acidithiobacillus oxidizing bacteria on sugarcane yield and their effects on some chemical attributes of a Brazilian tableland soil. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized factorial design 243+&#x00A0 ; 1, with four replicates. Two varieties of sugarcane, four rates of three sources of P and K (apatite+biotite, P+K biofertilizers with Acidithiobacillus, and soluble fertilizers-triple superphosphate and potassium chloride) were tested. A control without P and K fertilization was applied. A significant reduction in soil pH was observed with biofertilizers, especially when applied at higher rates, although no harmful effect on sugarcane yield was observed. Available P and K and exchangeable Ca and Mg increased with biofertilizer application compared to mineral fertilizers and P and K rocks. Biofertilizers may be used as an alternative source of P and K for sugarcane grown in soils with low available P and K.

T1  - Trace Metal Incorporation in Otoliths of Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri Munro), an Indicator of Exposure to Metal Contamination
AN  - 21263748; 11876150
AB  - Otoliths of black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) collected from the Swan River Estuary were analysed by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to measure concentrations of 14 trace metals. Trace metal concentrations in the otoliths may be related to the environmental exposure history of fish to contamination. The following metal isotopes were investigated: aluminium ( super(27)Al), calcium ( super(44)Ca), manganese ( super(55)Mn), iron ( super(57)Fe), copper ( super(65)Cu), zinc ( super(66)Zn), strontium ( super(88)Sr), cadmium ( super(111)Cd), tin ( super(120)Sn), barium ( super(138)Ba), mercury ( super(202)Hg), lead ( super(208)Pb) and the metalloids arsenic ( super(75)As, super(77)As) and selenium ( super(82)Se). Significant differences in otolith trace metal composition were found between sampling sites. Lead and super(57)Fe were consistently lower in downstream fish relative to upstream fish, while super(88)Sr varied with the salinity gradient in the urban estuary. Lead and super(57)Fe followed similar patterns within the otoliths, and appeared to provide the best discriminatory power for relating otolith metal concentration to the environmental history of the fish.

T1  - Evaluation of the biological control agent, Lixus cardui, on Onopordum thistles: Establishment and initial field impact
AN  - 21062505; 8606545
AB  - Between 1993 and 1999 a biological control program focused on the establishment and redistribution of the stem boring weevil Lixus cardui on its host Onopordum thistles in south-eastern Australia. Three release strategies (caged, free-release and stem release) were assessed as a part of a redistribution process that involved engagement with community members, with an overall establishment rate of 97%. Long-term monitoring of seven sites between 1998 and 2004 showed that L. cardui densities fluctuated by up to 30-fold among sites and 12-fold among seasons, driven largely by climatic effects on host plant size and with no measurable effect of plant density. During 2002 a comparison was made of plant performance at seven release sites with L. cardui present and six matched control sites without L. cardui. Plant size and L. cardui density varied between release sites and, on average, L. cardui reduced plant height by 33% and seed production by 65%. A second agent, the seed weevil Larinus latus, directly destroyed 56% of the seed produced at the sites, leading to a mean overall reduction of 84% in seed added to the soil during 2002 (ranging from 37% to 99% across sites). The significant reductions in seed rain that are being accrued by these two agents augur well for the long-term success of this project.

T1  - Development of an in vitro reproductive screening assay for novel pharmaceutical compounds
AN  - 21059800; 8571880
AB  - An in vitro reproductive cell-based toxicity assay was developed using MLTC-I (murine Leydig tumour cell line) in order to examine the reproductive toxicity of two novel nanopharmaceutical compounds, namely ethylene glycol mono allyl ether and poly(ethylene glycol) octa-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. Three commonly used cytotoxicity assays, namely the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide], MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2- (4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium] and Crystal Violet assays, were compared, and the MTT assay proved to be the most accurate and reproducible for the MLTC-I cell line. The doubling rate of the MLTC-I cells was 30 plus or minus 3.5 h and the optimal seeding density for the MTT assay was 20 000 cells per well, and the optimized MTT assay utilized a 4 h cell adherence followed by incubation with 0.5 mg/ml MTT for I h. The intra- and inter-assay CV (coefficient of variation) values were 12.3 and 11% respectively. MLTC-I cells only produce the reproductive hormone progesterone in response to hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which stimulated progesterone production dose-dependently from 0 to 100 m.i.u. (milli-international units)/ml (2706 plus or minus 1118 ng/ml). H sub(2)O sub(2) as a negative control killed 100% of cells at 1000 mu g/ml. The two nanopharmaceutical compounds were cytotoxic at concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 mu g/ml, but hCG decreased cytotoxicity to greater than or equal to 1000 mu g/ml (P<0.001). hCG-stimulated progesterone synthesis afforded some protection against the cytotoxic effects of the two novel nanotechnology compounds; therefore doses less than or equal to 100 mu g/ml and an exposure period of I h would be recommended for testing in in vivo animal reproductive assays.

T1  - The role of preoperative antibiotics in the prevention of wound infection after day case surgery for inguinal hernia in children in Ile Ife, Nigeria
AN  - 20064395; 8598491
AB  - Purpose: Day case surgery for inguinal hernia had been an established practice of the Paediatric Surgery Unit, OAUTHC, Ile Ife for about two decades. In a retrospective review of the practice from the same center, a high incidence of postoperative wound infection was noted, which was attributed to the poor personal hygiene of the patients. This prospective study, therefore, was performed to evaluate the role of a single dose of preoperative antibiotic (using gentamicin) in the prevention of these wound infections after day case surgery for inguinal hernia in children. Methods: This was a prospective study carried out over a period of 8 months from 11 April 2004 to 20 December 2004. During this period, 88 children aged from birth to 15 years were randomized into two groups of equal numbers to undergo elective inguinal herniotomy. The children in the test group received prophylactic intravenous gentamicin, 30 min before a groin crease incision was made, while those in the control group did not. All patients were subsequently followed up for 32 days for any evidence of a wound infection. Results: There were 104 wounds in the ratio of 50:54 in the control and test groups, respectively. All 54 wounds of the children who received prophylactic gentamicin healed primarily and without complication. Five cases of wound infections occurred in the control group, giving an infection rate of 4.8% (P < 0.041). Staphylococcus aureus was the single pathogen isolated from the infected postherniotomy wounds and this organism was wholly sensitive to gentamicin. Conclusion: From the findings in this study, administration of preoperative gentamicin has a role in the prevention of wound infection after day case surgery for inguinal hernias in susceptible children. Preoperative intravenous gentamicin is therefore recommended as a prophylactic measure against wound infection after day case surgery for inguinal hernias in those children at risk of wound infection.

T1  - Evaluating land administration projects in developing countries
AN  - 20059941; 8810426
AB  - There have been various approaches to evaluating and comparing the performance of land administration and land titling projects in developing countries. Many of these consider the efficiency of land administration processes and the capacity of institutions. This paper presents the results of research undertaken by the authors and considers the most common approaches taken to date, and the strengths and limitations of these approaches. The authors argue that improvements are needed to project design and make recommendations for more effective use of socio-economic analyses.

T1  - Distribution of glucosinolates and sulphur-rich cells in roots of field-grown canola (Brassica napus)
AN  - 20045885; 8532764
AB  - To investigate the role played by the distribution pattern of glucosinolates (GSLs) in root systems in the release of biocides to the rhizosphere, GSLs have been localized, for the first time, to specific regions and cells in field-grown roots.GSL concentrations in separated tissues of canola (Brassica napus) were determined by chemical analysis, and cell-specific concentrations by extrapolation from sulphur concentrations obtained by quantitative cryo-analytical scanning electron microscopy (SEM).In roots with secondary growth, GSL concentrations in the outer secondary tissues were up to 5 those of the inner core. The highest GSL concentrations (from sulphur measurements) were in two cell layers just under the outermost periderm layer, with up to 100 published concentrations for whole roots. Primary tissues had negligible GSL.Release and renewal of the peripheral GSLs is probably a normal developmental process as secondary thickening continues and surface cells senesce, accounting for published observations that intact roots release GSLs and their biocide hydrolosates to the rhizosphere. Absence of myrosin idioblasts close to the root surface suggests that GSLs released developmentally are hydrolysed by myrosinase in the rhizosphere, ensuring a continuous localized source of biotoxic hydrolysates which can deter soil-borne pests, and influence microbial populations associated with long-lived components of the root system.

T1  - A prospective study of non-fatal heroin overdose
AN  - 19803071; 8840920
AB  - Aims: We aimed to study the prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients presenting with non-fatal heroin overdose. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Emergency Department (ED). Participants: Patients attending with non-fetal heroin overdose. Intervention: Nil. Measurement: Descriptive and epidemiological data. Findings: Two-hundred-and-forty-nine overdoses in 224 patients (61.2% male, range 15-49 years). Mean reported age of first heroin use was 18.8 years (range 10-42). Forty-two per cent reported a previous heroin overdose requiring hospital intervention. Co-ingestants included benzodiazepines (61, 27.2%), alcohol (35, 15.6%), cannabis (25, 11.1%), amphetamines (13, 5.8%) and hallucinogens (3, 1.3%). Most patients experienced a benign course; 81 of 115 ambulance presentations (70.4%) received prehospital naloxone and 23 (9.2%) received naloxone in the ED; 67.9% had no investigations and complications were uncommon (two aspiration, one hypoxic brain injury). Median length of stay was 180 min (15 min to 48 h). Only 29 (11.6%) presentations required admission. There were 15 individuals (6.7%) who had 40 (16.1% of the total) repeat presentations. Conclusions: Heroin overdose tends to occur in experienced users who commonly co-ingest other drugs. There is a trend of overdose occurring with increasing frequency in teenage females. Repeat overdosing is common. However, while morbidity is low, these patients require considerable resources.

T1  - Phosphate removal from wastewater using red mud
AN  - 19698266; 8400567
AB  - Red mud, a waste residue of alumina refinery, has been used to develop effective adsorbents to remove phosphate from aqueous solution. Acid and acid-thermal treatments were employed to treat the raw red mud. The effects of different treatment methods, pH of solution and operating temperature on adsorption have been examined in batch experiments. It was found that all activated red mud samples show higher surface area and total pore volume as well as higher adsorption capacity for phosphate removal. The red mud with HCl treatment shows the highest adsorption capacity among all the red mud samples, giving adsorption capacity of 0.58mgP/g at pH 5.5 and 40 super(o)C. The adsorption capacity of the red mud adsorbents decreases with increase of pH. At pH 2, the red mud with HCl treatment exhibits adsorption of 0.8mgP/g while the adsorption can be lowered to 0.05mgP/g at pH 10. However, the adsorption is improved at higher temperature by increasing 25% from 30 to 40 super(o)C. The kinetic studies of phosphate adsorption onto red mud indicate that the adsorption mainly follows the parallel first-order kinetics due to the presence of two acidic phosphorus species, H sub(2)PO sub(4) super(-) and HPO sub(4) super(2) super(-). An analysis of the adsorption data indicates that the Freundlich isotherm provides a better fitting than the Langmuir model.

T1  - The effects of a harmful alga on bivalve larval lipid stores
AN  - 19580636; 8468687
AB  - Marine invertebrates often have complex life histories that include a swimming planktivorous larval stage, at which time they are vulnerable to a variety of stressors, including those associated with nutritional stress and harmful algal blooms. Lipid stores have been shown to be especially important for post-metamorphic survivorship and growth in a variety of marine invertebrates. We investigated the effects of the harmful brown tide alga Aureococcus anophagefferens on the lipid stores and growth of larvae of the hard clam (northern quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria), a dominant bivalve in many western Atlantic bays and estuaries. M. mercenaria was the dominant bivalve in Great South Bay, Long Island, until the mid-1970s, but very few larvae are presently found in these waters. Recent brown tide blooms have been hypothesized to pose a barrier to recovery of M. mercenaria populations and hinder recent restoration efforts by negatively affecting clam larvae. To test whether a diet of the brown tide alga affects the accumulation of beneficial lipid stores, we fed larvae one of three diets representing equal biovolumes of Isochrysis galbana, a nutritious control alga; A. anophagefferens, the brown tide alga for which nutritional quality is not presently known; or a mixture of the two. Larvae fed only brown tide had significantly less lipid stores than those in the other dietary treatments. In addition, brown tide negatively affected larval size. We also tested for evidence of tradeoffs between larval growth and lipid stores, predicting that when the diet was less nutritious as in the brown tide treatments, larval size and lipids would be negatively correlated. In contrast, we found that larvae fed a mixed algal diet or only A. anophagefferens showed a significant positive correlation between lipid stores and size, suggesting that some larvae were simply better at obtaining food and associated nutrients. Larval success likely depends on a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Our study suggests that poor nutrition associated with a harmful alga can have negative effects on larval size and lipids stores, which in turn are mediated by the inter-individual variability in the ability to grow and accumulate necessary lipid stores. Phytoplankton quality is likely to be important for the sustainability of bivalve populations even when it primarily impacts the larval phase; and a diet of brown tide algae may have lasting legacies for juveniles and adults.

T1  - Carbon and hydrogen isotopes of neo-pentane for biodegraded natural gas correlation
AN  - 19560629; 8752827
AB  - In severely biodegraded gases, every common C sub(1)-C sub(5) hydrocarbon (methane, ethane, propane, iso-butane, n-butane, iso-pentane, n-pentane) and CO sub(2) have been altered, negating the power of carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions as correlation tools. Here, we show that neo-pentane (2,2-dimethylpropane) is recalcitrant, having an extreme resistance to biodegradation. In a gas biodegradation series with a common source from the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, the carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions of neo-pentane provide the sole means by which a severely biodegraded gas can be correlated with a moderately biodegraded gas and a non-biodegraded gas. As such, the sterically hindered structure involving 2,2-dimethyl hydrocarbons can be exploited in gas (and oil) correlation studies.

T1  - Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography - time-of-flight mass spectrometry and simultaneous electron capture detection/nitrogen phosphorous detection for incense analysis
AN  - 19486407; 8566027
AB  - This study reports comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography hyphenated to time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection (GCxGC /TOFMS) for characterisation and identification of components generated by four different types of powdered incense headspace (H /S) and incense smoke. GCxGC/TOFMS allowed simultaneous separation and identification of compounds emitted into the atmosphere as a result of combustion of incense powder. The smoke stream comprised compounds originating from the incense powder, and combustion products such as saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, essential oil type compounds, nitromusks, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, which possibly include oxygenated and nitrated PAH), N-heterocyclics, pyrans and furans, which were detected and tentatively identified by GCxGC/TOFMS. GCxGC-electron capture detector/nitrogen phosphorous detector (ECD /NPD) potentially offers the prospect of providing selective chemical compositional information of incense powder and smoke, such as nitrogen-containing (N-containing) and halogenated compounds. Results of GCxGC-ECD/NPD showed that both incense powder and smoke generated emission of N-containing and halogenated compounds. A significant number of halogenated and N-containing compounds were emitted during the incomplete combustion of incense. However, one further objective of this paper is to demonstrate the capacity of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to specific and/or selective detectors such as those used in this study (GCxGC-ECD/NPD) for the detection of particular classes of compounds such as N-containing and halogenated compounds at trace level concentrations in complex smoke samples.

T1  - The role of early fine and gross motor development on later motor and cognitive ability
AN  - 19404235; 8713554
AB  - The aim of this study was to determine whether information obtained from measures of motor performance taken from birth to 4 years of age predicted motor and cognitive performance of children once they reached school age. Participants included 33 children aged from 6 years to 11 years and 6 months who had been assessed at ages 4 months to 4 years using the ages and stages questionnaires (ASQ: [Squires, J. K., Potter, L., & Bricker, D. (1995). The ages and stages questionnaire users guide. Baltimore: Brookes]). These scores were used to obtain trajectory information consisting of the age of asymptote, maximum or minimum score, and the variance of ASQ scores. At school age, both motor and cognitive ability were assessed using the McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND: [McCarron, L. (1997). McCarron assessment of neuromuscular development: Fine and gross motor abilities (revised ed.). Dallas, TX: Common Market Press.]), and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Version IV (WISC-IV: [Wechsler, D. (2004). WISC-IV integrated technical and interpretive manual. San Antonio, Texas: Harcourt Assessment]). In contrast to previous research, results demonstrated that, although socio-economic status (SES) predicted fine motor performance and three of four cognitive domains at school age, gestational age was not a significant predictor of later development. This may have been due to the low-risk nature of the sample. After controlling for SES, fine motor trajectory information did not account for a significant proportion of the variance in school aged fine motor performance or cognitive performance. The ASQ gross motor trajectory set of predictors accounted for a significant proportion of the variance for cognitive performance once SES was controlled for. Further analysis showed a significant predictive relationship for gross motor trajectory information and the subtests of working memory and processing speed. These results provide evidence for detecting children at risk of developmental delays or disorders with a parent report questionnaire prior to school age. The findings also add to recent investigations into the relationship between early motor development and later cognitive function, and support the need for ongoing research into a potential etiological relationship.

T1  - Development Lead Exposure Induces Tactile Defensiveness in Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca Mulatta)
AN  - 14855658; 10733983
AB  - Impact of lead exposure on tactile defensiveness in rhesus monkeys was investigated. Lead-treated monkeys were orally administered lead in a daily milk solution from 8 days of life to either 1 or 2 years of age to produce blood lead levels of 35-40 mg/dL. Succimer chelation therapy or placebo was administered at 1 year of age. Lead-exposed monkeys showed significantly more negative responses to repeated tactile stimuli compared with monkeys not exposed to lead. Lead exposure measured during early life was positively correlated with the magnitude of the negative response. The results indicated that blood lead concentration during early life was more strongly correlated with the magnitude of the negative response to tactile stimulation than was later blood lead concentration.

T1  - Air Pollution and Odor in Communities Near Industrial Swine Operations
AN  - 14854221; 10733985
AB  - Air pollution and odor in communities near industrial swine operations were examined. One hundred and one participants from 16 neighborhoods in eastern North Carolina reported on the strength of hog odor inside and outside their homes for approximately 2 weeks while temperature, humidity, wind speed, H sub(2)S, and PM sub(10) were monitored nearby. One to 16 swine concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) were located within 2 mi of the monitoring platform in each neighborhood. Odor was reported out-side on more than half the study days in 9 neighborhoods. Odor ratings made during 10-min periods of sitting outside twice a day were associated with weather conditions.

T1  - Polypyrrole nanofiber surface acoustic wave gas sensors
AN  - 21042041; 8599400
AB  - We present for the first time, to the best of authors' knowledge, surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensors featuring polypyrrole nanofibers as the active component for hydrogen (H sub(2)) and nitrogen dioxide (NO sub(2)) detection at room temperature. Polypyrrole nanofibers were synthesized through a template-free chemical route by introducing bipyrrole as an initiator to speed up the polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of iron (III) chloride (FeCl sub(3)) as the oxidizing agent. Polypyrrole nanofibers were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) techniques which indicated that the average diameter of the nanofibers was 18nm with lengths in the order of several microns. The polypyrrole nanofibers were dispersed onto the surface of a ZnO/36 super(o)YX LiTaO sub(3) SAW transducer. Gas testing towards H sub(2) and NO sub(2) was conducted in an enclosed environmental cell at room temperature. Measured frequency shifts due to sensor responses were 20kHz towards 1% of H sub(2) and 4.5kHz towards 2.1ppm NO sub(2), respectively. The sensor performance was assessed during a five-day period and repeatable results were obtained.

T1  - The Six Sigma approach in performance management to improve safety culture at work
AN  - 20977197; 8510976
AB  - This case study uses the Six Sigma process framework in performance management to explore and decrease the injury rate of an international waste disposal firm. The results indicate that an employee-management consensus approach to continuous improvement in safety management in the workplace is essential. The evidence from this case suggests that the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control (DMAIC) Six Sigma process and an analysis tool such as the fishbone diagram can be easily adopted as measurements and reduce the injury rate in the workplace. Furthermore, the case shows that management commitment and employee ownership of the Six Sigma programme is the key to continuous improvement and the development of a safety culture and a learning organisation.

T1  - The Imperative of Missile Defense
AN  - 58804768; 2008-283485
AB  - The widespread proliferation of ballistic missile technologies into the hands of the world's most dangerous states and terrorist organizations poses an unprecedented security risk to the US and the civilized world. At a time when missile defense is becoming increasingly vital both for defense of the homeland and for the regional security architecture in the Pacific Rim and the Persian Gulf, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) markup of the National Defense Authorization bill for FY 2009 (S. 3001) cuts more than 411 million dollars from the administration's request for the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) programs.

T1  - Use of a Cry1Ac-Resistant Line of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Detect Novel Insecticidal Toxin Genes in Bacillus thuringiensis
AN  - 856760753; 14053804
AB  - This paper describes a screening strategy incorporating resistant insect lines for discovery of new Bacillus thuringiensis toxins against a background of known genes that would normally mask the activity of additional genes and the application of that strategy. A line of Helicoverpa armigera with resistance to Cry1Ac (line ISOC) was used to screen Cry1Ac-expressing strains of B. thuringiensis for additional toxins with activity against H. armigera. Using this approach, a number of Cry1Ac-producing strains with significant toxicity toward Cry1Ac-resistant H. armigera were identified. When the insecticidal protein complement of one of these strains, C81, was examined in detail, a novel cry2 gene (cry2Af1) was detected.

T1  - Patient Delivered Partner Therapy for Chlamydial Infection-What Would Be Missed?
AN  - 755138392; 13647788
AB  - Reinfection of index patients by untreated sexual partners accounts for a significant proportion of incident bacterial sexually transmissible infections. The most widely practiced method of partner notification, whereby the index case contacts known sexual partners, results in relatively few sexual partners presenting for assessment. super(1) Alternative strategies that have been proposed to enhance conventional partner notification include patient delivered partner therapy (PDPT). PDPT requires the index case to give their contacts the treatment for the STI without the contact having to access a clinical service. This strategy has been shown to reduce the rate of reinfection in the index patient for gonorrhea and chlamydia. super(2-5) However, a limitation of this approach is that concurrent STIs in the contacts may remain undiagnosed and untreated. In addition, because there is no clinical interaction with a health care worker, there is no opportunity to identify other secondary contacts. To examine the extent to which these issues are relevant in an Australian urban sexual health clinic setting, we decided to investigate the concurrent STIs diagnosed in those who present as potential contacts of chlamydia and the number of other sexual partners who are identified.

T1  - Strain-based Structural Health Monitoring of Complex Composite Structures
AN  - 753657864; 13181803
AB  - The use of composite structures in engineering applications has proliferated over the past few decades due to its distinct advantages, namely: high structural performance, corrosion resistance, and high strength/weight ratio. However, they also come with a set of disadvantages, i.e., they are prone to fiber breakage, matrix cracking, and delaminations. These types of damage are often invisible and if undetected, could lead to catastrophic failures of structures. Although there are systems to detect such damage, the criticality assessment and prognosis of the damage is often much more difficult to achieve. This article discusses the research study conducted, which resulted in the development of a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for a 2D polymeric composite T-joint, used in maritime structures. The SHM system was found to be capable of not only detecting the presence of multiple delaminations in a composite structure, but also capable of determining the location and extent of all the delaminations present in the T-joint structure, regardless of the load (angle and magnitude) acting on the structure. The system developed relies on the examination of the strain distribution of the structure under operational loading.

T1  - Speeded verbal responding in adults who stutter: are there deficits in linguistic encoding?
AN  - 742782015; pmid-18762061
AB  - Linguistic encoding deficits in people who stutter (PWS, n=18) were investigated using auditory priming during picture naming and word vs. non-word comparisons during choice and simple verbal reaction time (RT) tasks. During picture naming, PWS did not differ significantly from normally fluent speakers (n=18) in the magnitude of inhibition of RT from semantically related primes and the magnitude of facilitation from phonologically related primes. PWS also did not differ from controls in the degree to which words were faster than non-words during choice RT, although PWS were slower overall than controls. Simple RT showed no difference between groups, or between words and non-words, suggesting differences in speech initiation time do not explain the choice RT results. The findings are consistent with PWS not being deficient in the time course of lexical activation and selection, phonological encoding, and phonetic encoding. Potential deficits underlying slow choice RTs outside of linguistic encoding are discussed. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: The reader will be able to (1) describe possible relationships between linguistic encoding processes and speech motor control difficulties in people who stutter; (2) explain the role of lexical priming tasks during speech production in evaluating the efficiency of linguistic encoding; (3) describe the different levels of processing that may be involved in slow verbal responding by people who stutter, and identify which levels could be involved based on the findings of the present study.

T1  - A comparative investigation of ultrafine particle number and mass emissions from a fleet of on-road diesel and CNG buses.
AN  - 69564918; 18800557
AB  - Particle number, particle mass, and CO2 concentrations were measured on the curb of a busy urban busway used entirely by a mix of diesel and CNG operated buses. With the passage of each bus, the ratio of particle number concentration and particle mass concentration to CO2 concentration in the diluted exhaust plume were used as measures of the particle number and mass emission factors, respectively. With all buses accelerating pastthe monitoring point, the results showed that the median particle mass emission from CNG buses was less than 9% of that from diesel buses. However, the median particle number emission from CNG buses was 6 times higher than the diesel buses, and the particles from the CNG buses were mainly in the nanoparticle size range. Using a thermodenuder to remove the volatile material from the sampled emissions showed that the majority of particles from the CNG buses, but not from the diesel buses, were volatile. Approximately, 82% of the particles from the CNG buses and 38% from the diesel buses were removed by heating the emissions to 300 degrees C.

T1  - Toxicity and metal speciation characterisation of waste water from an abandoned gold mine in tropical northern Australia.
AN  - 69493397; 18676002
AB  - The decommissioned Mount Todd gold mine, located in the wet-dry tropics of northern Australia, consists of a large waste water inventory and an acid rock drainage problem, which has the potential to impact upon freshwater ecosystems of the Edith River catchment. The toxicity of retention pond 1 (RP1) water was determined using six local freshwater species (duckweed, alga, cladoceran, snail, hydra and a fish). RP1 water was very toxic to all species, with the percentage dilution of RP1 water inhibiting 10% of organism response (IC10), or lethal to 5% of individuals (LC5), ranging from 0.007 to 0.088%. The percentage dilution of RP1 water inhibiting 50% of organism response (IC50), or lethal to 50% of individuals (LC50), ranged from 0.051% to 0.58%. Based on chemical analyses and geochemical speciation modelling of the test waters, Cu, Zn and Al were the most likely toxic components at acidic dilutions (i.e. > or =1%), while Cu and Zn were the most likely toxic components at 0.1% RP1 water, where pH was 6.5. Species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) were used to predict dilutions of RP1 water that would protect or unacceptably affect the downstream aquatic ecosystems. A dilution ratio of 1 part RP1 water to 20000 parts Edith River water (0.005% RP1 water) was calculated to be required for the protection of at least 95% of species. This information can be used in conjunction with field chemical and biological data to better predict the ecological risks of RP1 waste water downstream of the Mount Todd mine.

T1  - Genocide in the minds of Cambodian youth: transmitting (hi)stories of genocide to second and third generations in Cambodia
AN  - 61762938; 200902138
AB  - Several studies have been done on the survivors of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime on issues of memory, accountability and reconciliation, but little attention has so far been paid to the children of survivors. This paper looks at how the history of Cambodian genocide has been transmitted to Cambodian second and third generations in the homes of the victims and perpetrators, at schools and through memorialization practices in Cambodia. The paper is informed by five months of field research in Cambodia conducted with around 200 Cambodian youth in the summer of 2005. The findings illustrate that, in the absence of adequate education on the history of the Khmer Rouge period, the prevalent exposure to the horrors of the genocide at homes, schools, museums and memorials has worked to produce fear, anger, disbelief or denial in many Cambodian youth, sustained their myths, and has left them with several compelling questions, such as "why did Khmer kill Khmer?" The paper asserts that Cambodia needs to better confront how it transmits the history of genocide to its young generations. It provides recommendations as to how to improve this process and to empower and include youth in Cambodia's quest for truth, justice and reconciliation. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Indigenous Responses to Water Policymaking in Australia
AN  - 61693092; 200835200
AB  - Policy ideology in Aboriginal affairs is caught between left wing rights versus right wing responsibility arguments. Taking the radical centre position of mutual rights and responsibilities espoused by Pearson and applying it to the National Water Initiative, Eileen Willis, Meryl Pearce, Carmel McCarthy, Fiona Ryan and Ben Wadham demonstrate the way in which one Aboriginal community, Yarilena, situated in an arid and remote region of South Australia, has met the challenge. They show the initiatives instigated by the community that are applicable to other Aboriginal settings, and the challenges facing governments who take seriously the policy formulation of mutual obligation within the Pearson framework.

T1  - Updates on pulsing content, unconferences, and coding
AN  - 57707627; 200808290
AB  - Looks at some of the library technology trends that have emerged through the years. One such technology is Zotero, a browser-based citation management application that offers many useful features to anybody who does research on the Internet. Zotero sharing lets users see and peruse the Zotero libraries of other people near them on the same network. Another is the video series called learn2code, which starts with a basic lesson of how to type a few simple things into Processing, a toolkit made by and for computer artists. Processing runs on all major computers and operating systems. The 2008 code4lib conference featured a preconference "unconference," a whole day where everybody could gather to give informal talks to each other. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Not Alone: A Digital Preservation Community
AN  - 57683126; 200900434
AB  - In the winter of 2000, revolutionary changes in the digital environment were beginning to take place not only in technology but in the aspects of social interaction and content creation. That time also marked the beginning of a national initiative to develop a strategy for the preservation of a burgeoning body of digital information valuable for scholarship, public policy, and the cultural heritage of the United States. As plans unfolded for the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) led by the Library of Congress, the Internet community was engaged in a phenomenon that would be labeled Web 2.0. While the Web became a platform for collaborative content creation, the National Digital Preservation Program became a Web of partnerships working together to collect and preserve at-risk digital information.

T1  - Exposure of Children and Adolescents to Alcohol Advertising on Television in Australia
AN  - 57277170; 200824280
AB  - Objective: This article reports the extent to which children (0-12 years) and teenagers below the legal drinking age in Australia (13-17 years) were exposed to alcohol advertising on free-to-air television in Sydney, Australia, during the period from March 2005 to February 2006. Method: Exposure levels were obtained from weekly Target Audience Rating Points (TARPs) data generated by OzTAM, the official Australian television audience monitoring system. (The TARPs figure for an advertisement is calculated based on the number of individuals from a target audience [e.g., 13- to 17-year-olds] exposed to the ad as a proportion of the total number of individuals within the target audience, multiplied by 100). Exposure levels were obtained for four age groups-up to 12 years, 13-17 years, 18-24 years, and 25 years and older-for 156 different ads for 50 brands. Results: Adults 25 years and older were most exposed to alcohol advertising: approximately 660 TARPs per week. The level to which underage teenagers (13-17 years) were exposed to alcohol advertising was virtually identical to that of young adults (18-24 years): 426 TARPs per week vs 429 TARPs per week. Children (0-12 years) were exposed to approximately one in every three alcohol ads seen on average by mature adults (ages 25 years and older). Conclusions: This study found that Australian children and teenagers below the legal drinking age currently are exposed to unacceptably high levels of alcohol advertising on television. These findings suggest that alcohol marketers may be deliberately targeting underage adolescents. At the very least the findings highlight the need for action to be taken to reduce levels to which underage Australians are exposed to alcohol advertising on television.

T1  - Food Cravings Consume Limited Cognitive Resources
AN  - 57263872; 200900471
AB  - Using Tiffany's (1990) cognitive model of drug use and craving as a theoretical basis, the present experiments investigated whether cravings for food expend limited cognitive resources. Cognitive performance was assessed by simple reaction time (Experiment 1) and an established measure of working memory capacity, the operation span task (Experiment 2). In each experiment, female undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a craving or control condition. Participants in the craving condition abstained from eating chocolate for 24 hours prior to testing and performed the cognitive task in the presence of chocolate, a manipulation that successfully elicited chocolate cravings. In both experiments, there was no main effect of craving condition on cognition, but there was a significant interaction between condition and trait chocolate craving. In support of Tiffany's model, our results show that habitual food cravers direct limited cognitive resources to craving-related cues, at the cost of competing cognitive demands.

T1  - Changing fortunes: analysis of fluctuating policy space for family planning in Kenya
AN  - 57253234; 200823340
AB  - Policies relating to contraceptive services (population, family planning and reproductive health policies) often receive weak or fluctuating levels of commitment from national policy elites in Southern countries, leading to slow policy evolution and undermining implementation. This is true of Kenya, despite the government's early progress in committing to population and reproductive health policies, and its success in implementing them during the 1980s. This key informant study on family planning policy in Kenya found that policy space contacted, and then began to expand, because of shifts in contextual factors, and because of the actions of different actors. Policy space contracted during the mid-1990s in the context of weakening prioritization of reproductive health in national and international policy agendas, undermining access to contraceptive services and contributing to the stalling of the country's fertility rates. However, during the mid-2000s, champions of family planning within the Kenyan Government bureaucracy played an important role in expanding the policy space through both public and hidden advocacy activities. The case study demonstrates that policy space analysis can provide useful insights into the dynamics of routine policy and programme evolution and the challenge of sustaining support for issues even after they have reached the policy agenda.

T1  - Values and prejudice: Predictors of attitudes towards Australian Aborigines
AN  - 57247296; 200823464
AB  - This study related prejudice towards Australian Aborigines to value types assessed by the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS), right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and social dominance orientation (SDO). One hundred and forty-eight students in Adelaide, South Australia, completed a Modern Racism Scale adapted for Australian Aborigines, the SVS, the RWA Scale, and the SDO Scale. We predicted that prejudice would be positively related to the importance of self-enhancement and conservation values from the SVS such as power and security and negatively related to the importance of self-transcendence values such as universalism and benevolence. Relations between the prejudice measures and RWA and SDO were also expected to reflect their degree of overlap with discrete value types from the SVS. These predictions were supported. Results were discussed in relation to the importance of considering how prejudice relates to a person's specific value priorities as well as to more general value variables such as RWA and SDO.

T1  - J. Peter Lesley and the second geological survey of Pennsylvania
AN  - 50398989; 2009-064165
AB  - J. Peter Lesley, an assistant to H. D. Rogers on the First (1836-1842) Pennsylvania Geological Survey and a private collaborator with a close working relationship in the following decade, later broke dramatically with Rogers over the issue of professional recognition. In 1859 Lesley charged Rogers "with the most extensive scientific theft of the present age", i.e. Rogers' lack of recognition to his assistants for their specific ideas incorporated in the 1st Survey's Final Report. As director of the Second Pennsylvania Survey (1874-1889), Lesley pointly used methods at variance with those of Rogers. Where Rogers had amassed draft reports, sketched maps and cross-sections from his assistants for the purpose of publishing a definitive final report, Lesley published reports from each district or project as soon as the material could be assembled and edited. In all, the 2nd Survey produced a record 124 atlases and volumes. This extreme number and the amount of relatively undigested detail, as well as the publishing expense, ultimately led to the demise of the survey. Lesley's health failed before he could finish a final three volume Summary Description of the Geology of Pennsylvania. Personally, in the interval between the two surveys, Lesley evolved from a catastrophist invoking an oceanic deluge for subareal erosion to a uniformitarian. As an ex-minister he nevertheless rejected organic evolution. His principle contribution as a geologist, master topographer, and survey administrator was to uncover with precision the economic mineral resources of Pennsylvania in an age of great industrial expansion.

T1  - Yes, Size Matters
AN  - 215358331
AB  - Square footage is one of the most basic tools of real estate. Salespeople often use it as they add listings to the MLS or write advertising copy. However, few real estate practitioners are likely to have questioned a property's square footage as they copied it from the tax records, the developer's floor plan, or the listing in the MLS. Measurement errors, even small ones, can mean thousands of dollars, so it's not surprising that square-footage disputes are making news--and landing some real estate professionals in court. Here, Hampton offers tips on how and where to find a reliable source of data in supplying accurate square footage to clients.

T1  - Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates from Slaughtered Animals in Bangladesh
AN  - 21502469; 12494778
AB  - To determine the prevalence of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in slaughter animals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we collected rectal contents immediately after animals were slaughtered. Of the samples collected from buffalo (n = 174), cows (n = 139), and goats (n = 110), 82.2%, 72.7%, and 11.8% tested positive for stx1 and/or stx2, respectively. STEC could be isolated from 37.9%, 20.1%, and 10.0% of the buffalo, cows, and goats, respectively. STEC O157 samples were isolated from 14.4% of the buffalo, 7.2% of the cows, and 9.1% of the goats. More than 93% (n = 42) of the STEC O157 isolates were positive for the stx2, eae, katP, etpD, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli hly (hlyEHEC) virulence genes. STEC O157 isolates were characterized by seven recognized phage types, of which types 14 (24.4%) and 31 (24.4%) were predominant. Subtyping of the 45 STEC O157 isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed 37 distinct restriction patterns, suggesting a heterogeneous clonal diversity. In addition to STEC O157, 71 STEC non-O157 strains were isolated from 60 stx-positive samples from 23.6% of the buffalo, 12.9% of the cows, and 0.9% of the goats. The STEC non-O157 isolates belonged to 36 different O groups and 52 O:H serotypes. Unlike STEC O157, most of the STEC non-O157 isolates (78.9%) were positive for stx1. Only 7.0% (n = 5) of the isolates were positive for hlyEHEC, and none was positive for eae, katP, and etpD. None of the isolates was positive for the iha, toxB, and efa1 putative adhesion genes. However, 35.2% (n = 25), 11.3% (n = 8), 12.7% (n = 9), and 12.7% (n = 9) of the isolates were positive for the lpfO113, saa, lpfAO157/01-141, and lpfAO157/OI-154 genes, respectively. The results of this study provide the first evidence that slaughtered animals like buffalo, cows, and goats in Bangladesh are reservoirs for STEC, including the potentially virulent STEC strain O157.

T1  - Right Heart Pressure Increases after Acute Increases in Ambient Particulate Concentration
AN  - 21403679; 12108134
AB  - OBJECTIVES: We explored the association between acute changes in daily mean pulmonary artery (PA) and right ventricular (RV) pressures and concentrations of ambient fine particulate matter [PM with aerodynamic diameter or = 2.5 microm (PM(2.5))] as an explanation for previous associations between congestive heart failure (HF) hospital admissions and PM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the Chronicle Offers Management to Patients with Advanced Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure (COMPASS-HF) trial, to see whether management of ambulatory HF could be improved by providing continuous right heart pressure monitoring to physicians, the Chronicle Implantable Hemodynamic Monitor (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) continuously measured multiple right heart hemodynamic parameters, heart rate, and activity trends in subjects with moderate/severe HF. Using these trial data, we calculated daily mean pressures, using only those time intervals where the subject was not physically active (n = 5,807 person-days; n = 11 subjects). We then studied the association between mean daily PA/RV pressures and mean ambient PM(2.5) concentrations on the same day and previous 6 days. RESULTS: Each 11.62-microg/m(3) increase in same-day mean PM(2.5) concentration was associated with small but significant increases in estimated PA diastolic pressure [0.19 mmHg; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.05-0.33] and RV diastolic pressure (0.23 mmHg; 95% CI, 0.11-0.34). Although we saw considerable differences in the magnitude of response by COMPASS-HF randomization group (total data access for physicians vs. blocked clinician access), season, left ventricular ejection fraction, and obesity, these effects were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: These pilot study findings provide a potential mechanism for previous findings of increased risk of HF associated with ambient PM. However, because of the small number of subjects, a larger study is needed for confirmation.

T1  - High Temperatures Enhanced Acute Mortality Effects of Ambient Particle Pollution in the "Oven" City of Wuhan, China
AN  - 21403655; 12108129
AB  - BACKGROUND: We investigated whether the effect of air pollution on daily mortality is enhanced by high temperatures in Wuhan, China, using data from 2001 to 2004. Wuhan has been called an "oven" city because of its hot summers. Approximately 4.5 million permanent residents live in the 201-km(2) core area of the city. METHOD: We used a generalized additive model to analyze pollution, mortality, and covariate data. The estimates of the interaction between high temperature and air pollution were obtained from the main effects and pollutant-temperature interaction models. RESULTS: We observed effects of consistently and statistically significant interactions between particulate matter or = 10 microm (PM(10)) and temperature on daily nonaccidental (p = 0.014), cardiovascular (p = 0.007), and cardiopulmonary (p = 0.014) mortality. The PM(10) effects were strongest on extremely high-temperature days (daily average temperature, 33.1 degrees C), less strong on extremely low-temperature days (2.2 degrees C), and weakest on normal-temperature days (18.0 degrees C). The estimates of the mean percentage of change in daily mortality per 10-mug/m(3) increase in PM(10) concentrations at the average of lags 0 and 1 day during hot temperature were 2.20% (95% confidence interval), 0.74-3.68) for nonaccidental, 3.28% (1.24-5.37) for cardiovascular, 2.35% (-0.03 to 4.78) for stroke, 3.31% (-0.22 to 6.97) for cardiac, 1.15% (-3.54% to 6.07) for respiratory, and 3.02% (1.03-5.04) for cardiopulmonary mortality. CONCLUSIONS: We found synergistic effects of PM(10) and high temperatures on daily nonaccidental, cardiovascular, and cardiopulmonary mortality in Wuhan.

T1  - Variants in Iron Metabolism Genes Predict Higher Blood Lead Levels in Young Children
AN  - 21403611; 12108116
AB  - BACKGROUND: Given the association between iron deficiency and lead absorption, we hypothesized that variants in iron metabolism genes would predict higher blood lead levels in young children. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between common missense variants in the hemochromatosis (HFE) and transferrin (TF) genes and blood lead levels in 422 Mexican children. METHODS: Archived umbilical cord blood samples were genotyped for HFE (H63D and C282Y) and TF (P570S) variants. Blood lead was measured at 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 months of age. A total of 341 subjects had at least one follow-up blood lead level available and data available on covariates of interest for inclusion in the longitudinal analyses. We used random-effects models to examine the associations between genotype (HFE, TF, and combined HFE + TF) and repeated measures of blood lead, adjusting for maternal blood lead at delivery and child's concurrent anemia status. RESULTS: Of 422 children genotyped, 17.7, 3.3, and 18.9% carried the HFE H63D, HFE C282Y, and TF P570S variants, respectively. One percent of children carried both the HFE C282Y and TF P570S variants, and 3% of children carried both the HFE H63D and TF P570S variants. On average, carriers of either the HFE (beta = 0.11, p = 0.04) or TF (beta = 0.10, p = 0.08) variant had blood lead levels that were 11% and 10% higher, respectively, than wild-type subjects. In models examining the dose effect, subjects carrying both variants (beta = 0.41, p = 0.006) had blood lead 50% higher than wild-type subjects and a significantly higher odds of having a blood lead level 10 microg/dL (odds ratio = 18.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-177.1). CONCLUSIONS: Iron metabolism gene variants modify lead metabolism such that HFE variants are associated with increased blood lead levels in young children. The joint presence of variant alleles in the HFE and TF genes showed the greatest effect, suggesting a gene-by-gene-by-environment interaction.

T1  - Oridonin Confers Protection against Arsenic-Induced Toxicity through Activation of the Nrf2-Mediated Defensive Response
AN  - 21401897; 12108135
AB  - BACKGROUND: Groundwater contaminated with arsenic imposes a big challenge to human health worldwide. Using natural compounds to subvert the detrimental effects of arsenic represents an attractive strategy. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a critical regulator of the cellular antioxidant response and xenobiotic metabolism. Recently, activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway has been reported to confer protection against arsenic-induced toxicity in a cell culture model. OBJECTIVES: The goal of the present work was to identify a potent Nrf2 activator from plants as a chemopreventive compound and to demonstrate the efficacy of the compound in battling arsenic-induced toxicity. RESULTS: Oridonin activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway at a low subtoxic dose and was able to stabilize Nrf2 by blocking Nrf2 ubiquitination and degradation, leading to accumulation of the Nrf2 protein and activation of the Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective response. Pretreatment of UROtsa cells with 1.4 muM oridonin significantly enhanced the cellular redox capacity, reduced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improved cell survival after arsenic challenge. CONCLUSIONS: We identified oridonin as representing a novel class of Nrf2 activators and illustrated the mechanism by which the Nrf2 pathway is activated. Furthermore, we demonstrated the feasibility of using natural compounds targeting Nrf2 as a therapeutic approach to protect humans from various environmental insults that may occur daily.

T1  - Public Health and Air Pollution in Asia (PAPA): A Multicity Study of Short-Term Effects of Air Pollution on Mortality
AN  - 21401878; 12108128
AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although the deleterious effects of air pollution from fossil fuel combustion have been demonstrated in many Western nations, fewer studies have been conducted in Asia. The Public Health and Air Pollution in Asia (PAPA) project assessed the effects of short-term exposure to air pollution on daily mortality in Bangkok, Thailand, and in three cities in China: Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Wuhan. METHODS: Poisson regression models incorporating natural spline smoothing functions were used to adjust for seasonality and other time-varying covariates that might confound the association between air pollution and mortality. Effect estimates were determined for each city and then for the cities combined using a random effects method. RESULTS: In individual cities, associations were detected between most of the pollutants [nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter or = 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM(10)), and ozone] and most health outcomes under study (i.e., all natural-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality). The city-combined effects of the four pollutants tended to be equal or greater than those identified in studies conducted in Western industrial nations. In addition, residents of Asian cities are likely to have higher exposures to air pollution than those in Western industrial nations because they spend more time outdoors and less time in air conditioning. CONCLUSIONS: Although the social and environmental conditions may be quite different, it is reasonable to apply estimates derived from previous health effect of air pollution studies in the West to Asia.

T1  - Raw Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Induce Oxidative Stress and Activate MAPKs, AP-1, NF-[kappa]B, and Akt in Normal and Malignant Human Mesothelial Cells
AN  - 21401828; 12108048
AB  - BACKGROUND: Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), with their unique physicochemical and mechanical properties, have many potential new applications in medicine and industry. There has been great concern subsequent to preliminary investigations of the toxicity, biopersistence, pathogenicity, and ability of SWCNTs to translocate to subpleural areas. These results compel studies of potential interactions of SWCNTs with mesothelial cells. OBJECTIVE: Exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of malignant mesothelioma in 80-90% of individuals who develop the disease. Because the mesothelial cells are the primary target cells of asbestos-induced molecular changes mediated through an oxidant-linked mechanism, we used normal mesothelial and malignant mesothelial cells to investigate alterations in molecular signaling in response to a commercially manufactured SWCNT. METHODS: In the present study, we exposed mesothelial cells to SWCNTs and investigated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cell viability, DNA damage, histone H2AX phosphorylation, activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), stimulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs), Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), protein p38, and activation of activator protein-1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), and protein serine-threonine kinase (Akt). RESULTS: Exposure to SWCNTs induced ROS generation, increased cell death, enhanced DNA damage and H2AX phosphorylation, and activated PARP, AP-1, NF-kappaB, p38, and Akt in a dose-dependent manner. These events recapitulate some of the key molecular events involved in mesothelioma development associated with asbestos exposure. CONCLUSIONS: The cellular and molecular findings reported here do suggest that SWCNTs can cause potentially adverse cellular responses in mesothelial cells through activation of molecular signaling associated with oxidative stress, which is of sufficient significance to warrant in vivo animal exposure studies.

T1  - Gene and Protein Expression following Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields from Mobile Phones
AN  - 21400836; 12108138
AB  - BACKGROUND: Since 1999, several articles have been published on genome-wide and/or proteome-wide response after exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields whose signal and intensities were similar to or typical of those of currently used mobile telephones. These studies were performed using powerful high-throughput screening techniques (HTSTs) of transcriptomics and/or proteomics, which allow for the simultaneous screening of the expression of thousands of genes or proteins. OBJECTIVES: We reviewed these HTST-based studies and compared the results with currently accepted concepts about the effects of RF fields on gene expression. In this article we also discuss these last in light of the recent concept of microwave-assisted chemistry. DISCUSSION: To date, the results of HTST-based studies of transcriptomics and/or proteomics after exposure to RF fields relevant to human exposure are still inconclusive, as most of the positive reports are flawed by methodologic imperfections or shortcomings. In addition, when positive findings were reported, no precise response pattern could be identified in a reproducible way. In particular, results from HTST studies tend to exclude the role of a cell stressor for exposure to RF fields at nonthermal intensities. However, on the basis of lessons from microwave-assisted chemistry, we can assume that RF fields might affect heat-sensitive gene or protein expression to an extent larger than would be predicted from temperature change only. But in all likelihood, this would concern intensities higher than those relevant to usual human exposure. CONCLUSIONS: The precise role of transcriptomics and proteomics in the screening of bioeffects from exposure to RF fields from mobile phones is still uncertain in view of the lack of positively identified phenotypic change and the lack of theoretical, as well as experimental, arguments for specific gene and/or protein response patterns after this kind of exposure.

T1  - Fluoride Induces Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Inhibits Protein Synthesis and Secretion
AN  - 21400703; 12108136
AB  - BACKGROUND: Exposure to excessive amounts of fluoride (F(-)) causes dental fluorosis in susceptible individuals; however, the mechanism of F(-)-induced toxicity is unclear. Previously, we have shown that high-dose F(-) activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) in ameloblasts that are responsible for dental enamel formation. The UPR is a signaling pathway responsible for either alleviating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress or for inducing apoptosis of the stressed cells. OBJECTIVES: In this study we determined if low-dose F(-) causes ER stress and activates the UPR, and we also determined whether F(-) interferes with the secretion of proteins from the ER. METHODS: We stably transfected the ameloblast-derived LS8 cell line with secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) and determined activity and localization of SEAP and F(-)-mediated induction of UPR proteins. Also, incisors from mice given drinking water containing various concentrations of F(-) were examined for eucaryotic initiation factor-2, subunit alpha (eIF2alpha) phosphorylation. RESULTS: We found that F(-) decreases the extracellular secretion of SEAP in a linear, dose-dependent manner. We also found a corresponding increase in the intracellular accumulation of SEAP after exposure to F(-). These changes are associated with the induction of UPR proteins such as the molecular chaperone BiP and phosphorylation of the UPR sensor PKR-like ER kinase, and its substrate, eIF2alpha. Importantly, F(-)-induced phosphorylation of eIF2alphawas confirmed in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that F(-) initiates an ER stress response in ameloblasts that interferes with protein synthesis and secretion. Consequently, ameloblast function during enamel development may be impaired, and this may culminate in dental fluorosis.

T1  - Enduring Mental Health Morbidity and Social Function Impairment in World Trade Center Rescue, Recovery, and Cleanup Workers: The Psychological Dimension of an Environmental Health Disaster
AN  - 21400675; 12108114
AB  - BACKGROUND: The World Trade Center (WTC) attacks exposed thousands of workers to hazardous environmental conditions and psychological trauma. In 2002, to assess the health of these workers, Congress directed the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to establish the WTC Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program. This program has established a large cohort of WTC rescue, recovery, and cleanup workers. We previously documented extensive pulmonary dysfunction in this cohort related to toxic environmental exposures. OBJECTIVES: Our objective in this study was to describe mental health outcomes, social function impairment, and psychiatric comorbidity in the WTC worker cohort, as well as perceived symptomatology in workers' children. METHODS: Ten to 61 months after the WTC attack, 10,132 WTC workers completed a self-administered mental health questionnaire. RESULTS: Of the workers who completd the questionnaire, 11.1% met criteria for probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 8.8% met criteria for probable depression, 5.0% met criteria for probable panic disorder, and 62% met criteria for substantial stress reaction. PTSD prevalence was comparable to that seen in returning Afghanistan war veterans and was much higher than in the U.S. general population. Point prevalence declined from 13.5% to 9.7% over the 5 years of observation. Comorbidity was extensive and included extremely high risks for impairment of social function. PTSD was significantly associated with loss of family members and friends, disruption of family, work, and social life, and higher rates of behavioral symptoms in children of workers. CONCLUSIONS: Working in 9/11 recovery operations is associated with chronic impairment of mental health and social functioning. Psychological distress and psychopathology in WTC workers greatly exceed population norms. Surveillance and treatment programs continue to be needed.

Increased intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) appears to have anti-inflammatory effects. OBJECTIVE: As part of a trial to evaluate whether n-3 PUFA supplementation could protect against the cardiac alterations linked to PM exposure, we measured biomarkers of response to oxidative stimuli [copper/zinc (Cu/Zn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, lipoperoxidation (LPO) products, and reduced glutathione (GSH)] and evaluated the impact of supplementation on plasma levels. METHODS: We recruited residents from a nursing home in Mexico City chronically exposed to PM or = 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) and followed them from 26 September 2001 to 10 April 2002. We randomly assigned subjects in a double-blind fashion to receive either fish oil (n-3 PUFA) or soy oil. We measured PM(2.5) levels indoors at the nursing home, and measured Cu/Zn SOD activity, LPO products, and GSH at different times during presupplementation and supplementation phases. RESULTS: Supplementation with either fish or soy oil was related to an increase of Cu/Zn SOD activity and an increase in GSH plasma levels, whereas exposure to indoor PM(2.5) levels was related to a decrease in Cu/Zn SOD activity and GSH plasma levels. CONCLUSION: Supplementation with n-3 PUFA appeared to modulate the adverse effects of PM(2.5) on these biomarkers, particularly in the fish oil group. Supplementation with n-3 PUFA could modulate oxidative response to PM(2.5) exposure.

T1  - In Vitro Biologic Activities of the Antimicrobials Triclocarban, Its Analogs, and Triclosan in Bioassay Screens: Receptor-Based Bioassay Screens
AN  - 21392940; 12108127
AB  - BACKGROUND: Concerns have been raised about the biological and toxicologic effects of the antimicrobials triclocarban (TCC) and triclosan (TCS) in personal care products. Few studies have evaluated their biological activities in mammalian cells to assess their potential for adverse effects. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we assessed the activity of TCC, its analogs, and TCS in in vitro nuclear-receptor-responsive and calcium signaling bioassays. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We determined the biological activities of the compounds in in vitro, cell-based, and nuclear-receptor-responsive bioassays for receptors for aryl hydrocarbon (AhR), estrogen (ER), androgen (AR), and ryanodine (RyR1). RESULTS: Some carbanilide compounds, including TCC (1-10 muM), enhanced estradiol (E(2))-dependent or testosterone-dependent activation of ER- and AR-responsive gene expression up to 2.5-fold but exhibited little or no agonistic activity alone. Some carbanilides and TCS exhibited weak agonistic and/or antagonistic activity in the AhR-responsive bioassay. TCS exhibited antagonistic activity in both ER- and AR-responsive bioassays. TCS (0.1-10 muM) significantly enhanced the binding of [(3)H]ryanodine to RyR1 and caused elevation of resting cytosolic [Ca(2+)] in primary skeletal myotubes, but carbanilides had no effect. CONCLUSIONS: Carbanilides, including TCC, enhanced hormone-dependent induction of ER- and AR-dependent gene expression but had little agonist activity, suggesting a new mechanism of action of endocrine-disrupting compounds. TCS, structurally similar to noncoplanar ortho-substituted poly-chlorinated biphenyls, exhibited weak AhR activity but interacted with RyR1 and stimulated Ca(2+) mobilization. These observations have potential implications for human and animal health. Further investigations are needed into the biological and toxicologic effects of TCC, its analogs, and TCS.

T1  - A Temporal, Multicity Model to Estimate the Effects of Short-Term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution on Health
AN  - 21389887; 12108139
AB  - BACKGROUND: Countries worldwide are expending significant resources to improve air quality partly to improve the health of their citizens. Are these societal expenditures improving public health? OBJECTIVES: We consider these issues by tracking the risk of death associated with outdoor air pollution over both space and time in Canadian cities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We propose two multi-year estimators that use current plus several previous years of data to estimate current year risk. The estimators are derived from sequential time series analyses using moving time windows. To evaluate the statistical properties of the proposed methods, a simulation study with three scenarios of changing risk was conducted based on 12 Canadian cities from 1981 to 2000. Then an optimal estimator was applied to 24 of Canada's largest cities over the 17-year period from 1984 to 2000. RESULTS: The annual average daily concentrations of ozone appeared to be increasing over the time period, whereas those of nitrogen dioxide were decreasing. However, the proposed method returns different time trends in public health risks. Evidence for some monotonic increasing trends in the annual risks is weak for O(3) (p = 0.3870) but somewhat stronger for NO(2) (p = 0.1082). In particular, an increasing time trend becomes apparent when excluding year 1998, which reveals lower risk than proximal years, even though concentrations of NO(2) were decreasing. The simulation results validate our two proposed methods, producing estimates close to the preassigned values. CONCLUSIONS: Despite decreasing ambient concentrations, public health risks related to NO(2) appear to be increasing. Further investigations are necessary to understand why the concentrations and adverse effects of NO(2) show opposite time trends.

T1  - Identification of the Functional Domain of Thyroid Hormone Receptor Responsible for Polychlorinated Biphenyl-Mediated Suppression of Its Action in Vitro
AN  - 21389859; 12108124
AB  - BACKGROUND: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, and poly-chlorinated dibenzofurans adversely affect the health of humans and various animals. Such effects might be partially exerted through the thyroid hormone (TH) system. We previously reported that one of the hydroxylated PCB congeners suppresses TH receptor (TR)-mediated transcription by dissociating TR from the TH response element (TRE). However, the binding site of PCB within TR has not yet been identified. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify the functional TR domain responsible for the PCB-mediated suppression of TR action by comparing the magnitude of suppression using several representative PCB/dioxin congeners. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We generated chimeric receptors by combining TR and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and determined receptor-mediated transcription using transient transfection-based reporter gene assays, and TR-TRE binding using electrophoretic mobility shift assays. RESULTS: Although several PCB congeners, including the hydroxylated forms, suppressed TR-mediated transcription to various degrees, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin did not alter TR action, but 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran weakly suppressed it. The magnitude of suppression correlated with that of TR-TRE dissociation. The suppression by PCB congeners was evident from experiments using chimeric receptors containing a TR DNA-binding domain (DBD) but not a GR-DBD. CONCLUSIONS: Several nondioxin-like PCB congeners and hydroxylated PCB compounds suppress TR action by dissociating TR from TRE through interaction with TR-DBD.

T1  - Environmental Public Health Tracking of Childhood Asthma Using California Health Interview Survey, Traffic, and Outdoor Air Pollution Data
AN  - 21378575; 12108115
AB  - BACKGROUND: Despite extensive evidence that air pollution affects childhood asthma, state-level and national-level tracking of asthma outcomes in relation to air pollution is limited. OBJECTIVES: Our goals were to evaluate the feasibility of linking the 2001 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), air monitoring, and traffic data; estimate associations between traffic density (TD) or outdoor air pollutant concentrations and childhood asthma morbidity; and evaluate the usefulness of such databases, linkages, and analyses to Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT). METHODS: We estimated TD within 500 feet of residential cross-streets of respondents and annual average pollutant concentrations based on monitoring station measurements. We used logistic regression to examine associations with reported asthma symptoms and emergency department (ED) visits/hospitalizations. RESULTS: Assignment of TD and air pollution exposures for cross-streets was successful for 82% of children with asthma in Los Angeles and San Diego, California, Counties. Children with asthma living in high ozone areas and areas with high concentrations of particulate matter 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter experienced symptoms more frequently, and those living close to heavy traffic reported more ED visits/hospitalizations. The advantages of the CHIS for asthma EPHT include a large and representative sample, biennial data collection, and ascertainment of important socio-demographic and residential address information. Disadvantages are its cross-sectional design, reliance on parental reports of diagnoses and symptoms, and lack of information on some potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS: Despite limitations, the CHIS provides a useful framework for examining air pollution and childhood asthma morbidity in support of EPHT, especially because later surveys address some noted gaps. We plan to employ CHIS 2003 and 2005 data and novel exposure assessment methods to re-examine the questions raised here.

T1  - Bone Mineral Density Changes in Relation to Environmental PCB Exposure
AN  - 21364610; 12108131
AB  - BACKGROUND: Bone toxicity has been linked to organochlorine exposure following a few notable poisoning incidents, but epidemiologic studies in populations with environmental organochlorine exposure have yielded inconsistent results. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate whether organochlorine exposure was associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in a population 60-81 years of age (154 males, 167 females) living near the Baltic coast, close to a river contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). METHODS: We measured forearm BMD in participants using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; and we assessed low BMD using age- and sex-standardized Z-scores. We analyzed blood samples for five dioxin-like PCBs, the three most abundant non-dioxin-like PCBs, and p,p'-dichloro-phenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE). RESULTS: In males, dioxin-like chlorobiphenyl (CB)-118 was negatively associated with BMD; the odds ratio for low BMD (Z-score less than -1) was 1.06 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.12) per 10 pg/mL CB-118. The sum of the three most abundant non-dioxin-like PCBs was positively associated with BMD, but not with a decreased risk of low BMD. In females, CB-118 was positively associated with BMD, but this congener did not influence the risk of low BMD in women. CONCLUSIONS: Environmental organochlorine exposures experienced by this population sample since the 1930s in Sweden may have been sufficient to result in sex-specific changes in BMD.

T1  - Residential Traffic and Children's Respiratory Health
AN  - 21364585; 12108118
AB  - BACKGROUND: Living near traffic has been associated with asthma and other respiratory symptoms. Most studies, however, have been conducted in areas with high background levels of ambient air pollution, making it challenging to isolate an independent effect of traffic. Additionally, most investigations have used surrogates of exposure, and few have measured traffic pollutants directly as part of the study. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a cross-sectional study of current asthma and other respiratory symptoms in children (n = 1,080) living at varying distances from high-traffic roads in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, a highly urbanized region characterized by good regional air quality due to coastal breezes. METHODS: We obtained health information and home environmental factors by parental questionnaire. We assessed exposure with several measures of residential proximity to traffic calculated using geographic information systems, including traffic within a given radius and distance to major roads. We also measured traffic-related pollutants (nitrogen oxides and nitrogen dioxide) for a subset of households to determine how well traffic metrics correlated with measured traffic pollutants. RESULTS: Using multivariate logistic regression analyses, we found associations between current asthma and residential proximity to traffic. For several traffic metrics, children whose residences were in the highest quintile of exposure had approximately twice the adjusted odds of current asthma (i.e., asthma episode in the preceeding 12 months) compared with children whose residences were within the lowest quintile. The highest risks were among those living within 75 m of a freeway/highway. Most traffic metrics correlated moderately well with actual pollutant measurements. CONCLUSION: Our findings provide evidence that even in an area with good regional air quality, proximity to traffic is associated with adverse respiratory health effects in children.

T1  - The Pyrethroid Pesticide Esfenvalerate Suppresses the Afternoon Rise of Luteinizing Hormone and Delays Puberty in Female Rats
AN  - 21358675; 12108122
AB  - BACKGROUND: One of the most widely used classes of insecticides is the synthetic pyrethroids. Although pyrethroids are less acutely toxic to humans than to insects, in vitro studies have suggested that pyrethroids may be estrogenic. OBJECTIVES: We assessed pubertal effects by orally administering 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 mg/kg/day of the type II pyrethroid esfenvalerate (ESF) to female rats beginning on postnatal day (PND) 22 until vaginal opening. ESF administration suppresses serum estradiol and delays pubertal onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To assess possible hypothalamic and/or pituitary effects, animals received 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg ESF or corn oil on PNDs 22-29. On PND30, we drew three blood samples (200 microL) from each rat at 15-min intervals beginning at 1000 hours, and again at 1500 hours. To test hypothalamic responsiveness, after the third afternoon sample, all animals received an intravenous injection of N-methyl-d,l-aspartic acid (NMA; 40 mg/kg), and then we drew two more samples. We performed a second experiment as above except that animals received luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH; 25 ng/rat) to test pituitary responsiveness. RESULTS: Basal levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the afternoon hours were higher in control animals than in animals treated with 1.0 mg/kg ESF (p 0.05). Furthermore, NMA- and LHRH-stimulated LH release was similar in control and ESF-treated animals, indicating that both hypothalamic and pituitary responsiveness, respectively, were unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: Although the hypothalamus is able to respond to exogenous stimuli, absence of a normal afternoon rise in LH would indicate a hypothalamic deficit in ESF-treated animals.

T1  - Effects of Maternal Exposure to Di-(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate during Fetal and/or Neonatal Periods on Atopic Dermatitis in Male Offspring
AN  - 21349965; 12108137
AB  - BACKGROUND: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been widely used in polyvinyl chloride products and is ubiquitous in developed countries. Although maternal exposure to DEHP during fetal and/or neonatal periods reportedly affects reproductive and developmental systems, its effects on allergic diseases in offspring remain to be determined. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we examined whether maternal exposure to DEHP during fetal and/or neonatal periods in NC/Nga mice affects atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions related to mite allergen in offspring. METHODS: We administered DEHP at a dose of 0, 0.8, 4, 20, or 100 microg/animal/week by intraperitoneal injection into dams during pregnancy (gestation days 0, 7, and 14) and/or lactation (postnatal days 1, 8, and 15). Eight-week-old male offspring of these treated females were injected intradermally with mite allergen into their right ears. We then evaluated clinical scores, ear thickening, histologic findings, and protein expression of eotaxin in the ear. RESULTS: Maternal exposure to a 100-microg dose of DEHP during neonatal periods, but not during fetal periods, enhanced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions related to mite allergen in males. The results were concomitant with the enhancement of eosinophilic inflammation, mast cell degranulation, and protein expression of eotaxin in overall trend. CONCLUSION: Maternal exposure to DEHP during neonatal periods can accelerate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions related to mite allergen in male offspring, possibly via T helper 2 (T(H)2)-dominant responses, which can be responsible, at least in part, for the recent increase in atopic dermatitis.

T1  - Inhaled Asbestos Exacerbates Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice via CD4sup + T Cells
AN  - 21349954; 12108126
AB  - BACKGROUND: Associations between air pollution and morbidity/mortality from cardiovascular disease are recognized in epidemiologic and clinical studies, but the mechanisms by which inhaled fibers or particles mediate the exacerbation of atherosclerosis are unclear. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: To determine whether lung inflammation after inhalation of a well-characterized pathogenic particulate, chrysotile asbestos, is directly linked to exacerbation of atherosclerosis and the mechanisms involved, we exposed apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE(-/-)) mice and ApoE(-/-) mice crossed with CD4(-/-) mice to ambient air, NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) reference sample of chrysotile asbestos, or fine titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), a nonpathogenic control particle, for 3, 9, or 30 days. RESULTS: ApoE(-/-) mice exposed to inhaled asbestos fibers had approximately 3-fold larger atherosclerotic lesions than did TiO(2)-exposed ApoE(-/-) mice or asbestos-exposed ApoE(-/-)/CD4(-/-) double-knockout (DKO) mice. Lung inflammation and the magnitude of lung fibrosis assessed histologically were similar in asbestos-exposed ApoE(-/-) and DKO mice. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels were increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and plasma, and plasma concentrations correlated with lesion size (p 0.04) in asbestos-exposed ApoE(-/-) mice. At 9 days, activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), transcription factors linked to inflammation and found in the promoter region of the MCP-1 gene, were increased in aortas of asbestos-exposed ApoE(-/-) but not DKO mice. CONCLUSION: Our findings show that the degree of lung inflammation and fibrosis does not correlate directly with cardiovascular effects of inhaled asbestos fibers and support a critical role of CD4(+) T cells in linking fiber-induced pulmonary signaling to consequent activation of AP-1- and NF-kappaB-regulated genes in atherogenesis.

T1  - Association between 24-Hour Urinary Cadmium and Pulmonary Function among Community-Exposed Men: The VA Normative Aging Study
AN  - 21349932; 12108125
AB  - BACKGROUND: High levels of cadmium exposure are known to cause emphysema in occupationally exposed workers, but little has been reported to date on the association between chronic environmental cadmium exposure and pulmonary function. OBJECTIVE: In this study we examined the association between pulmonary function and cadmium body burden in a subcohort of the Normative Aging Study, a community-based study of aging. METHODS: We examined 96 men who had cadmium measured in single 24-hr urinary specimens collected in 1994-1995 and who had one to three tests of pulmonary function between 1994 and 2002 (a total of 222 observations). We used mixed-effect models to predict pulmonary function based on individual 24-hr urinary cadmium output, adjusted for age, height, time elapsed from the baseline, and smoking status. We assessed effect modification by smoking status. RESULTS: Among all subjects, a single log-unit increase in baseline urinary cadmium was inversely associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV(1)) percent predicted [beta = -7.56%; 95% confidence interval (CI) -13.59% to -1.53%]; forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted (beta = -2.70%; 95% CI -7.39% to 1.99%), and FEV(1)/FVC ratio (beta = -4.13%; 95% CI -7.61% to -0.66%). In models including an interaction between urinary cadmium and smoking status, there was a graded, statistically significant reduction in FEV(1)/FVC ratio across smoking status in association with urinary cadmium. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that chronic cadmium exposure is associated with reduced pulmonary function, and cigarette smoking modifies this association. These results should be interpreted with caution because the sample size is small, and further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

T1  - Prevalence of virus-like particles within a staghorn scleractinian coral (Acropora muricata) from the Great Barrier Reef
AN  - 21316604; 11890770
AB  - Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine whether Acropora muricata coral colonies from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, harboured virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs were present in all coral colonies sampled at Heron Island (southern GBR) and in tagged coral colonies sampled in at least two of the three sampling periods at Lizard Island (northern GBR). VLPs were observed within gastrodermal and epidermal tissues, and on rarer occasions, within the mesoglea. These VLPs had similar morphologies to known prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses in other systems. Icosahedral VLPs were observed most frequently, however, filamentous VLPs (FVLPs) and phage were also noted. There were no clear differences in VLP size, morphology or location within the tissues with respect to sample date, coral health status or site. The most common VLP morphotype exhibited icosahedral symmetry, 120-150nm in diameter, with an electron-dense core and an electronlucent membrane. Larger VLPs of similar morphology were also common. VLPs occurred as single entities, in groups, or in dense clusters, either as free particles within coral tissues, or within membrane-bound vacuoles. VLPs were commonly observed within the perinuclear region, with mitochondria, golgi apparatus and crescent-shaped particles frequently observed within close proximity. The host(s) of these observed VLPs was not clear; however, the different sizes and morphologies of VLPs observed within A. muricata tissues suggest that viruses are infecting either the coral animal, zooxanthellae, intracellular bacteria and/or other coral-associated microbiota, or that the one host is susceptible to infection from more than one type of virus. These results add to the limited but emerging body of evidence that viruses represent another potentially important component of the coral holobiont.

T1  - Expression profiling and mapping of defence response genes associated with the barley-Pyrenophora teres incompatible interaction
AN  - 21037254; 8486042
AB  - Barley net- and spot-form of net blotch disease are caused by two formae of the hemibiotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres (P.t. f. teres and P.t. f. maculata). In the present study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used in combination with quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR to identify and profile the expression of defence response (DR) genes in the early stages of both barley-P.teres incompatible and compatible interactions. From a pool of 307 unique gene transcripts identified by SSH, 45 candidate DR genes were selected for temporal expression profiling in infected leaf epidermis. Differential expression profiles were observed for 28 of the selected candidates, which were grouped into clusters depending on their expression profiles within the first 48h after inoculation. The expression profiles characteristic of each gene cluster were very similar in both barley-P.t. f. teres and barley-P.t. f. maculata interactions, indicating that resistance to both pathogens could be mediated by induction of the same group of DR genes. Chromosomal map locations for 21 DR genes were identified using four doubled-haploid mapping populations. The mapped DR genes were distributed across all seven barley chromosomes, with at least one gene mapping to within 15cM of another on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 5H and 7H. Additionally, some DR genes appeared to co-localize with loci harbouring known resistance genes or quantitative trait loci for net blotch resistance on chromosomes 6H and 7H, as well as loci associated with resistance to other barley diseases. The DR genes are discussed with respect to their map locations and potential functional role in contributing to net blotch disease resistance.

T1  - Some Space-Time Spectral Analyses of Tropical Convection and Planetary-Scale Waves
AN  - 21033897; 8487676
AB  - Three aspects of space-time spectral analysis are explored for diagnosis of the organization of tropical convection by the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and other equatorial wave modes: 1) definition of the background spectrum upon which spectral peaks are assessed, 2) alternate variance preserving display of the spectra, and 3) the space-time coherence spectrum. Here the background spectrum at each zonal wavenumber is assumed to result from a red noise process. The associated decorrelation time for the red noise process for tropical convection is found to be half as long as for zonal wind, reflecting the different physical processes controlling each field. The significance of spectral peaks associated with equatorial wave modes for outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), which is a proxy for precipitating deep convection, and zonal winds that stand out above the red background spectrum is similar to that identified using a background spectrum resulting from ad hoc smoothing of the original spectrum. A variance-preserving display of the space-time power spectrum with a logarithmic frequency axis is useful for directly detecting Kelvin waves (periods 5-15 days for eastward zonal wavenumbers 1-5) and for highlighting their distinction from the MJO. The space-time coherence of OLR and zonal wind is predominantly associated with the MJO and other equatorial waves. The space-time coherence is independent of estimating the background spectrum and is quantifiable; thus, it is suggested as a useful metric for the MJO and other equatorial waves in observations and simulations. The space-time coherence is also used to quantify the association of Kelvin waves in the stratosphere with convective variability in the troposphere and for detection of barotropic Rossby-Haurwitz waves.

T1  - Evaluation of TELEDERM for dermatological services in rural and remote areas
AN  - 20922936; 8468510
AB  - Objective: This paper describes the Web-based decision support system (TELEDERM) that provides medical services to rural and remote general practitioners (GPs), and presents qualitative results on the usefulness and usability of the system obtained from trials in the GoldFields, Western Australia. Methods: Diagnostic methods and other functions were developed to assist medical practitioners, who may not be familiar with aspects of decision support systems, to diagnose patients with dermatological problems. GPs in rural and remote areas took part in a trial to assess the usefulness of TELEDERM in clinical situations. In evaluating and assessing a number of the system's characteristics, questionnaires, seminars and interviews were used. Results and conclusions: Feedback concerning the usefulness of TELEDERM shows that 67% of the GPs found the system useful or very useful, and 25% found the system somewhat useful. In terms of its usability, 83% found the system easy to use. The responses concerning the user interface and interactivity of TELEDERM are encouraging as 92% of the GPs found the text easy to read, 84% were happy with the appearance of the interface, and 84% found the system easy to navigate. 89% indicated that they are likely to use the system again. An issue with such systems is the reluctance of GPs to use them, even given that the development was quite sensitive to the needs of the GPs and the consultants, e.g. by streamlining the query process and emphasising that the system is a support tool and not a replacement.

T1  - Breast Tumor Xenografts: Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging to Assess Early Therapy with Novel Apoptosis-Inducing Anti-DR5 Antibody
AN  - 20879113; 8407457
AB  - PURPOSE: To measure the early therapeutic response to a novel apoptosis-inducing antibody, TRA-8, by using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in a mouse breast cancer model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Animal experiments had institutional animal care and use committee approval. Four groups of nude mice bearing luciferase-positive breast tumors (four to five mice with eight to 10 tumors per group) were injected intravenously with 0 mg (group 1), 0.025 mg (group 2), 0.100 mg (group 3), or 0.200 mg (group 4) of TRA-8 on days 0 and 3. Diffusion-weighted imaging, anatomic MR imaging, and bioluminescence imaging were performed on days 0, 3, and 6 before dosing. Averaged apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) for both whole tumor volume and a 1-mm peripheral tumor shell were calculated and were compared with tumor volume and living tumor cell changes. After imaging at day 6, proliferating and apoptotic cell densities were measured with Ki67 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling, or TUNEL, staining, respectively, and were compared with cleaved caspase-3 density. RESULTS: The ADC increase at day 3 was dependent on TRA-8 dose level, averaging 6% plus or minus 3 (standard error of mean), 19% plus or minus 4, 14% plus or minus 4, and 34% plus or minus 7 in the whole tumor volume and 1% plus or minus 2, 9% plus or minus 5, 13% plus or minus 5, and 30% plus or minus 8 in the outer 1-mm tumor shell only for groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The ADC increase in group 4 was significantly higher (P = .0008 and P = .0189 for whole tumor volume and peripheral region, respectively) than that in group 1 on day 3, whereas tumor size did not significantly differ. At day 3, the dose-dependent ADC increases were linearly proportional to apoptotic cell and cleaved caspase-3 densities and were inversely proportional to the density of cells showing Ki67 expression. CONCLUSION: Diffusion-weighted imaging enabled measurement of early breast tumor response to TRA-8 treatment, prior to detectable tumor shrinkage, providing an effective mechanism to noninvasively monitor TRA-8 efficacy.

T1  - Comparison of methods for estimating age composition with application to Southern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus maccoyii)
AN  - 20859113; 8378861
AB  - We consider various methods for estimating age composition from length and age samples. The standard age-length key (ALK) approach does not use information from the length frequency distribution, so we develop likelihood-based methods with and without seasonality, growth curves, and cohort-specific growth effects. Asymptotic variances of the estimated age proportions are derived and converted into 'equivalent sample size', i.e. the sample size that would achieve the same variance if only age data were collected at random. This is used to compare and evaluate the information obtained from various models using likelihood and from ALK. The methodology is illustrated by analysing a large data set on Southern Bluefin Tuna Thunnus maccoyii. For younger fish, there are considerable gains (in equivalent sample size) over ALK from using likelihood estimation, and further gains from allowing for within-season growth. Sampling designs can improve the estimation of age composition of targeted older age ranges.

T1  - The impact of nematode parasites on the behaviour of an Australian lizard, the gidgee skink Egernia stokesii
AN  - 20635844; 9376334
AB  - The Australian scincid lizard Egernia stokesii lives in social groups and is infected with two nematode species: Pharyngodon tiliquae and Thelandros trachysauri. This study asked whether those nematodes affected levels of lizard activity in field populations. In a laboratory colony, application of a combination of ivermectin and fenbendazole reduced nematode egg count in lizard scats after 12 weeks. In the field, the same doses of those antihelminthic drugs were applied to lizards in six social groups across three populations, and a saline control was given to lizards in six adjacent groups. Observations showed significant changes in behaviour between the two groups developing over 2 months. Drug-treated lizards spent more time basking and moved about for longer times during observation sessions. The results suggest that nematode infection altered host behaviour and reduced fitness. No influence of social group size was detected on the impact of parasitic nematodes.

T1  - Egg-laying patterns and in vivo egg production in the monogenean parasites Heteraxine heterocerca and Benedenia seriolae from Japanese yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata
AN  - 20200493; 10287047
AB  - Egg-laying patterns and egg production in Heteraxine heterocerca from the gills and Benedenia seriolae from the skin of Japanese yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata in Japan were investigated in vivo. Eggs were collected every 3h from sexually mature H. heterocerca and B. seriolae infecting 3 S. quinqueradiata kept individually over 3 consecutive days and exposed to alternating periods of illumination and darkness (LD 12:12; light on 06.00, light off 18.00) and maintained at 23.8 plus or minus 0.1 degree C and 35ppt salinity. A well-defined egg-laying rhythm was demonstrated for H. heterocerca while B. seriolae was shown to release eggs continuously. A total of 114 000 H. heterocerca eggs was collected and of these, 45.4 (42.5-49.9)% were collected during the first 3h period following dark at 18.00h. A total of 662 857 B. seriolae eggs was collected and these were distributed over each 3h period ranging from 11.1 to 14.1% of the daily egg output. All eggs extracted from the uterus of each H. heterocerca were joined together forming an 'egg-string'. The contrasting egg-laying patterns of H. heterocerca and B. seriolae suggest that each species makes use of a different infection strategy to infect the same host species, S. quinqueradiata.

T1  - Long-term stability of partial nitritation of swine wastewater digester liquor and its subsequent treatment by Anammox
AN  - 19902730; 8769856
AB  - Partial nitritation using inhibition of free ammonia and free nitric acid is an effective technique for the treatment of high concentrations of ammonium in wastewaters. This technique was applied to the digester liquor of swine wastewater and the stability of its long-term operation was investigated. Partial nitritation was successfully maintained at a nitrogen loading rate (NLR) of 1.0 kg N m super(-3 )d super(-1) for 120 days without acclimatization of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) to the inhibitory compounds (free ammonia and free nitric acid). The conversion efficiencies of NH sub(4)-N to NO sub(2)-N and to NO sub(3)-N were determined to be around 58% and <5%, respectively. After the establishment of partial nitritation, the influence of swine wastewater on the Anammox reaction was examined using continuous flow treatment experiments. Consistent nitrogen removal was achieved for 70 days at a nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.22 kg N m super(-3 )d super(-1) and the color of Anammox bacteria changed from red to greyish black. The NO sub(2)-N consumption and the NO sub(3)-N production increased concurrently and the Anammox reaction ratio was estimated to be 1:1.67:0.53, which is different from that reported previously (1:1.32:0.26).

T1  - Multivariate Markov Process Models for the Transmission of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in a Hospital Ward
AN  - 19651697; 8481628
AB  - SummaryMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a pathogen that continues to be of major concern in hospitals. We develop models and computational schemes based on observed weekly incidence data to estimate MRSA transmission parameters. We extend the deterministic model of McBryde, Pettitt, and McElwain (2007, Journal of Theoretical Biology245, 470-481) involving an underlying population of MRSA colonized patients and health-care workers that describes, among other processes, transmission between uncolonized patients and colonized health-care workers and vice versa. We develop new bivariate and trivariate Markov models to include incidence so that estimated transmission rates can be based directly on new colonizations rather than indirectly on prevalence. Imperfect sensitivity of pathogen detection is modeled using a hidden Markov process. The advantages of our approach include (i) a discrete valued assumption for the number of colonized health-care workers, (ii) two transmission parameters can be incorporated into the likelihood, (iii) the likelihood depends on the number of new cases to improve precision of inference, (iv) individual patient records are not required, and (v) the possibility of imperfect detection of colonization is incorporated. We compare our approach with that used by McBryde et al. (2007) based on an approximation that eliminates the health-care workers from the model, uses Markov chain Monte Carlo and individual patient data. We apply these models to MRSA colonization data collected in a small intensive care unit at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.

T1  - Long-term assessment of efficacy of permeable pond covers for odour reduction
AN  - 19630240; 8769855
AB  - Three anaerobic ponds used to store and treat piggery wastes were fully covered with permeable materials manufactured from polypropylene geofabric, polyethylene shade cloth and supported straw. The covers were assessed in terms of efficacy in reducing odour emission rates over a 40-month period. Odour samples were collected from the surface of the covers, the surface of the exposed liquor and from the surface of an uncovered (control) pond at one of the piggeries. Relative to the emission rate of the exposed liquor at each pond, the polypropylene, shade cloth and straw covers reduced average emission rates by 76%, 69% and 66%, respectively. At the piggery with an uncovered control pond, the polypropylene covers reduced average odour emission rates by 50% and 41%, respectively. A plausible hypothesis, consistent with likely mechanisms for the odour reduction and the olfactometric method used to quantifying the efficacy of the covers, is offered.

T1  - Theme Session R: Powerful integration and visualization of complex fishery and environmental data using Eonfusion
AN  - 1034822429; 17019020
AB  - Fisheries scientists are faced with the challenge of integrating fisheries with oceanographic and other marine and atmospheric environmental data. Typically, the temporal, visual, and analytical components of data integration are not handled well within a single software application. Eonfusion is four-dimensional (4D) visualization and analysis software, which significantly enhances the ease with which scientists can integrate complex ecological and environmental data, and share methods across disciplines. It handles large volumes of data in a variety of formats, and supports the fusion of different data types. Eonfusion bridges specialist domains such as physical oceanography and fishery biology, and allows the analyst to rapidly visualize trends and patterns and pose novel questions regarding feature relationships in an integrated context. By supporting coincident visualization and analysis of, for example time- and geo-referenced sensor data, bathymetry, spatial management, and oceanographic data, Eonfusion facilitates the detection of species' responses to management regimes and patterns of movement with oceanic events. Multiple datasets can be fused into a single set with shared coordinates, allowing the discovery of topological relationships between coincident data items. These relationships also allow data attributes to be directly compared and transferred between datasets. Eonfusion's development was undertaken with the support of leading researchers around the world to meet the demands of the latest ecological research tools and technology. In this paper we present real-world examples of fishery, oceanographic, and environmental data which are integrated and visualized in Eonfusion to reveal relationships about marine species and their environment, and inform management decisions.

T1  - Selective growth inhibition of human leukemia and human lymphoblastoid cells by resveratrol via cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction.
AN  - 69446863; 18656932
AB  - There is great interest in the potential chemopreventive activity of resveratrol against human cancers. However, there are conflicting results on its growth inhibitory effect on normal cells. This project examined the differential effect of resveratrol at physiologically relevant concentrations on nonmalignant (WIL2-NS) and malignant (HL-60) cell lines and compared the underlying mechanisms via cell cycle modulation, apoptosis induction, and genotoxicity potential. Twenty-four hours of exposure to resveratrol was toxic to WIL2-NS and HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. WIL2-NS cells regrew 5 times more than HL-60 cells by 120 h after the removal of 100 microM resveratrol (p < 0.05). Furthermore, significant alterations in cell cycle kinetics were induced by resveratrol in HL-60 cells, but were to a lesser extent for WIL2-NS cells. The proportion of apoptosis was also 3 times higher in HL-60 cells as compared to WIL2-NS cells for 100 microM resveratrol (p < 0.05). In conclusion, resveratrol preferentially inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells via cell cycle modulation and apoptosis induction and subsequently directed the cells to irreversible cell death, whereas the effect on WIL2-NS cells was largely reversible.

T1  - Long-term benthic responses to sustained disturbance by aggregate extraction in an area off the east coast of the United Kingdom
AN  - 19305936; 8400928
AB  - The temporal variability of benthic assemblages inhabiting offshore gravel deposits in the North Sea is poorly known, as purpose-collected long-term data sets have until recently been non-existent. It has therefore proved difficult to understand the stability and resilience of these benthic ecosystems after disturbance caused by the extraction of aggregates on an industrial scale. The present investigation examines an 8-year time series of data collected in and around an active commercial aggregate extraction site off the east coast of the United Kingdom. Both physical and biological data sets suggest a distinct yet localised effect after sustained gravel extraction, with impacted sediments generally appearing more physically homogeneous and faunistically impoverished than undisturbed sediments. Although inter-annual variability of selected assemblage metrics was reduced in disturbed sediments, differences in some assemblage metrics became significant between years. Despite such observations, significant impacts to the benthos in any given year were not sustained for long. However, the magnitude of impact in almost every year would be enough to merit remedial intervention based on an existing model of measuring acceptable levels of disturbance as a result of organic enrichment. Caution must be exercised in making any such recommendations, especially as there are presently no models specifically designed to assess the degree of acceptable disturbance from aggregate extraction. This study not only highlights the importance of and need for long-term data sets in order to better understand the difference between natural and human-induced variability in benthic assemblages, but also emphasises the need to develop more relevant monitoring tools to better manage the activities of the marine aggregate extraction industry.

T1  - 100,000-fold concentration of anions in capillary zone electrophoresis using electroosmotic flow controlled counterflow isotachophoretic stacking under field amplified conditions.
AN  - 69430318; 18627177
AB  - An electroosmotic flow (EOF) controlled counterflow isotachophoretic stacking boundary (cf-ITPSB) system under field amplified conditions has been examined as a way to improve the sensitivity of anions separated by capillary zone electrophoresis. The system comprised a high concentration of a high-mobility leading ion (100 mM chloride) and a low concentration of low-mobility terminating ion (1-3 mM MES or CHES) added to the sample in an unmodified fused-silica capillary at pH 8.05, buffered with Tris. Computer simulation studies using the software GENTRANS showed an increase in sensitivity of at least 10-fold over the previous cf-ITPSB system for simple inorganic ions, nitrite and nitrate. The simulations also suggested that the cf-ITPSB became stationary within the capillary and that its stationary position was not adversely affected by the concentration of MES. This was in contrast to experimental results that showed a slow and continual movement of the cf-ITPSB. This was more pronounced at lower concentrations of terminator (i.e., <3 mM) and resulted in a loss of resolution due to the cf-ITPSB being closer to the detector upon separation. This discrepancy was attributed to the change in pH across the capillary due to electrolysis and low buffering capacity in the sample, a phenomenon that cannot be simulated by the GENTRANS software. Replacement of MES with CHES as a lower mobility ion with increased buffer capacity failed to reduce the movement of the cf-ITPSB but did provide a further 3-fold improvement in sensitivity. The potential of this approach for sensitivity enhancement was demonstrated for the co-EOF separation of a mixture of six inorganic and small organic ions, with detection limits at the single-figure nanogram per liter level. These detection limits are 100,000 times better than can be achieved by normal hydrodynamic injection (ions prepared in water) and 250 times better than has been achieved by other online preconcentration approaches. The application of the EOF-controlled cf-ITPSB with counter-EOF separation of two pharmaceutical pollutants, naproxen and diflunisal, was also demonstrated with an improvement in sensitivity of 1000 giving detection limits of 350 ng/L in sewage treatment wastewater without any offline pretreatment.

T1  - New Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs with Novel Mechanisms of Action
AN  - 745903113; 12690443
AB  - It is estimated that a third of the world's population is currently infected with tuberculosis, leading to 1.6 million deaths annually. The current drug regimen is 40 years old and takes 6-9 months to administer. In addition, the emergence of drug resistant strains and HIV co-infection mean that there is an urgent need for new anti-tuberculosis drugs. The twenty-first century has seen a revival in research and development activity in this area, with several new drug candidates entering clinical trials. This review considers new potential firstline anti-tuberculosis drug candidates, in particular those with novel mechanisms of action, as these are most likely to prove effective against resistant strains. A brief overview of current first-line and recent drugs (such as fluoroquinolones, rifampicin and isoniazid analogues) is initially presented. This is followed by a description of structure-activity relationships, in vitro and in vivo activity, pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, combination regimens and clinical trials of the new drug candidates SQ109, PA-824, OPC-67683, TMC207 and others.

T1  - Modeling of wave dispersion along cylindrical structures using the spectral method.
AN  - 742782812; pmid-18681578
AB  - Algorithm and code are presented that solve dispersion equations for cylindrically layered media consisting of an arbitrary number of elastic and fluid layers. The algorithm is based on the spectral method which discretizes the underlying wave equations with the help of spectral differentiation matrices and solves the corresponding equations as a generalized eigenvalue problem. For a given frequency the eigenvalues correspond to the wave numbers of different modes. The advantage of this technique is that it is easy to implement, especially for cases where traditional root-finding methods are strongly limited or hard to realize, i.e., for attenuative, anisotropic, and poroelastic media. The application of the new approach is illustrated using models of an elastic cylinder and a fluid-filled tube. The dispersion curves so produced are in good agreement with analytical results, which confirms the accuracy of the method. Particle displacement profiles of the fundamental mode in a free solid cylinder are computed for a range of frequencies.

T1  - Developing a sustainable agro-system for central Nepal using reduced tillage and straw mulching.
AN  - 70768330; 17481804
AB  - In Nepal, soil erosion under maize (Zea mays) agro-ecosystems is most critical during the pre-monsoon season. Very few field experiments have been conducted on reduced tillage and rice straw (Oryza sativa) mulching, although these conservation approaches have been recommended. Thus, a five replicate field experiment was established in 2001 at Kathmandu University (1500 m above sea level) on land with 18% slope to evaluate the efficiency of reduced tillage and mulching on soil and nutrient losses and maize yield. The results showed non-significant differences among conservation approaches on runoff and maize yield. Mulching and reduced tillage significantly lowered annual and pre-monsoon soil and nutrient losses compared to conventional tillage. Soil organic matter (SOM) and nitrogen losses associated with eroded sediment were significantly higher in conventional tillage. However, due to limited availability and high opportunity cost of rice straw, reduced tillage would be a better option for soil and nutrient conservation without sacrificing economic yield in upland maize agro-ecosystems.

T1  - Guardians at the gate: quarantine and racialism in two Pacific Rim port cities, 1870-1914
AN  - 61740481; 200833455
AB  - This article examines the ambivalent relationship that San Francisco and Darwin developed with Asia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On the one hand they presented themselves as gateways that facilitated trade with Asia. On the other hand they acted as sentinels that protected Europeans from Asian immigration. This quirky behaviour is encapsulated in the quarantine regulations that were applied in both ports to Asian commodities and people. The two case studies suggest a broader paradox in the history of port cities. Their prosperity and vitality rested upon the free flow of goods and people, but those flows generated enormous frictions. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Theories of Indigenous Violence: A Preliminary Empirical Assessment
AN  - 61719678; 200906185
AB  - A number of theories have been put forward to explain the high level of violence among Australia's Indigenous population. Up until 2002, lack of suitable data on the risk factors associated with Indigenous violent victimisation made it very difficult to assess the adequacy of these theories. In 2002, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a national survey (the NATSISS) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. That survey made it possible to examine a range of correlates of Indigenous violent victimisation. Analysis of the NATSISS victimisation data, however, has so far been limited to a few bivariate comparisons. This article presents the results of the first multivariate analysis of risk factors for violent victimisation among Indigenous Australians using the NATSISS. The results provide strong support for lifestyle/routine activity theories, moderate support for social disorganisation and social deprivation theories, but little support for cultural theories of Indigenous violence.

T1  - Health costs from short-term exposure to pesticides in Nepal
AN  - 61713556; 200832305
AB  - Household surveys were undertaken every week for seven months in 2005 to understand acute health symptoms and to estimate health costs associated with pesticide exposure in rural Nepal. The cost-of-illness and avertive action approach was used to estimate costs of pesticide use. The probit regressions fit sickness and avertive actions with exposure to pesticides and other factors. Based on data from 291 households, the study finds that the magnitude of exposure to insecticides and fungicides significantly influenced the occurrence of acute symptoms. The predicted probability of falling sick from pesticide-related symptoms is significantly higher among individuals who apply pesticides compared to individuals in the same household who are not directly exposed. Further, the predicted annual cost of illness as a result of pesticide use is estimated to be Nepalese Rupees 144 per individual. This cost is nearly one-third of the total expenditure on health care services, but is small compared to the increase in farm production costs, thus when faced with a choice between the health care costs and increases in farm production costs, the individual opts for pesticides. However, the costs are nearly eight times higher compared to the population who were not directly exposed. This study suggests that there are acute health impacts of pesticide use; however, because of the low level of the health costs, farm workers may underestimate the effects of pesticides on the human being, and thus they may continue to use pesticides without any safety precautions.

T1  - Predictors of Indigenous Arrest: An Exploratory Study
AN  - 61709643; 200906197
AB  - The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody attributed Indigenous overrepresentation in the criminal justice system to Indigenous disadvantage. Others have attributed it to alcohol abuse and substance use and/or passive welfare dependence. To date, however, there has been little rigorous empirical research into the factors that distinguish Indigenous Australians who come into contact with the criminal justice system from those who do not. The study reported here uses the 2002 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) to explore the correlates of Indigenous arrest. The analyses suggest that factors like economic stress, welfare dependence and unemployment are strongly correlated with whether or not an Indigenous respondent has been arrested and with the number of times an Indigenous respondent has been arrested in the past 5 years. The strongest correlate, however, is alcohol abuse. The implications of these findings for research and policy on Indigenous contact with the justice system are discussed.

T1  - Pathways from Casual Employment to Economic Security: the Australian Experience
AN  - 61704575; 200826548
AB  - Casual employment is extensive and has been increasing for more than two decades in Australia. The concept of casual employment used in the Australian context is unusual, but it is directly linked to benefit and rights exclusion within the regulatory framework governing employment. The expansion in casual employment has spread across all sectors, industries and occupations. Casual employment is associated with various forms of insecurity including income and employment insecurity. There are a number of ways in which the insecurity associated with casual employment could be reduced. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Moderators and mediators of behaviour change in a lifestyle program for treated hypertensives: a randomized controlled trial (ADAPT)
AN  - 57268865; 200821124
AB  - We aimed to examine moderators and mediators of behaviour change in a cognitive lifestyle program for drug-treated overweight hypertensives in Perth, Australia. We collected data at baseline, 4 months (post-intervention) and 1-year follow-up in a randomized controlled trial of a program that focused on weight loss, diet, and exercise. Mediation analysis used regression models that estimate indirect effects with bootstrapped confidence limits. Outcomes examined were saturated fat intake (% energy) and physical activity (hours per week). In total, 90/118 individuals randomized to usual care and 102/123 to the program-completed follow-up. Sex was a moderator of response post-intervention for diet and physical activity, with a greater response among women with usual care and among men with the program. Change in self-efficacy was a mediator of dietary change post-intervention [effect size (ES) -0.055, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.125, -0.005] and at follow-up (ES 0.054, 95% CI -0.127, -0.005), and in physical activity post-intervention (ES 0.059, 95% CI 0.003, 0.147). These findings highlight different responses of men and women to the program, and the importance of self-efficacy as a mediator. Mediators for physical activity in the longer term should be investigated in other models, with appropriate cognitive measurements, in future trials. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - When confrontational images may be counter productive: reinforcing the case for pre-testing communications in sensitive areas
AN  - 57267618; 200821335
AB  - Issue addressed: White Ribbon Day is an international campaign that encourages men to speak out about and demonstrate their opposition to violence against women by wearing a white ribbon on 25 November. This study assesses the effectiveness of a graphic confrontational image in the Australian 2006 campaign versus an alternative non-violent image to motivate men to wear a white ribbon on White Ribbon Day. Methods: An intercept survey was conducted with a sample of 45 males aged 30-49 years recruited in an inner city suburban shopping strip. Respondents were presented with two alternatives: a graphic 'amputated arm' image and a non-violent 'father-daughter' image. The primary dependent variable was the relative ability of the two alternatives in motivating respondents to wear a white ribbon on White Ribbon Day. Results: The vast majority of respondents nominated the 'father-daughter' as image being more motivating than the 'amputated arm' image to wear a white ribbon on White Ribbon Day: 84% vs 9%. Conclusions: The bland 'father-daughter' image was far more motivating than the macabre/violent 'amputated arm' image in motivating men to wear a white ribbon on White Ribbon Day. This is contrary to the UNIFEM Australia and White Ribbon Day assertion that 'confrontational/provocative' images are necessary to achieve this behaviour. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Framework and tools for planning and evaluating community participation, collaborative partnerships and equity in health promotion
AN  - 57263628; 200821839
AB  - Issue addressed: This paper reports on the development of a planning and evaluation framework and tools to assess key principles of primary health care/health promotion: community participation, collaborative partnerships and a focus on equity. The focus of the tools is on planning and process evaluation with some outcome questions included. Methods: Following a scan of literature, the framework and tools for each component were developed. The tools were rod-tested with colleagues and trialled by workshop participants. Results: A framework and tools for each of the components and ways to assess how effectively they are applied at the program and practice level was developed. The tools attempt to deal with evaluation challenges by providing primary health care/health promotion practitioners and evaluators with a framework to examine these components of their work. Conclusions: Planning and evaluation are regarded as routine in good practice. As health promotion practice and programs are shaped by principles such as partnerships, participation and equity, it is important that we also apply an evaluation lens to these components. Sound planning and evaluation allows practitioners to explain how and why these principles are integrated into their work and what is achieved. Adapted from the source document.

AB  - The REALTOR(TM) organization adopted the term "Realtor" 90 years ago so that consumers wouldn't confuse them with nonmembers who were not bound by a code of ethics. Today, the organization is still bound by a code--and by the requirement to refresh their knowledge of the code every four years. And they let consumers know about their commitment to ethical standards through their award-winning Public Awareness Campaign. Here, Gaylord presents the top five values of the REALTOR(TM) organization.

AB  - OBJECTIVES: Increased ambient particulate matter (PM) levels are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as shown by numerous epidemiology studies. Few studies have investigated the role of copollutants, such as ozone, in this association. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which PM affects cardiac function remain uncertain. We hypothesized that PM and O(3) induce adverse cardiovascular effects in mice and that these effects are strain dependent. STUDY DESIGN: After implanting radiotelemeters to measure heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV) parameters, we exposed C57Bl/6J (B6), C3H/HeJ (HeJ), and C3H/HeOuJ (OuJ) inbred mouse strains to three different daily exposures of filtered air (FA), carbon black particles (CB), or O(3) and CB sequentially [O(3)CB; for CB, 536 +/- 24 microg/m(3); for O(3), 584 +/- 35 ppb (mean +/- SE)]. RESULTS: We observed significant changes in HR and HRV in all strains due to O(3)CB exposure, but not due to sequential FA and CB exposure (FACB). The data suggest that primarily acute HR and HRV effects occur during O(3)CB exposure, especially in HeJ and OuJ mice. For example, HeJ and OuJ mice demonstrated dramatic increases in HRV parameters associated with marked brady-cardia during O(3)CB exposure. In contrast, depressed HR responses occurred in B6 mice without detectable changes in HRV parameters. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that important interstrain differences exist with respect to PM- and O(3)-induced cardiac effects. This interstrain variation suggests that genetic factors may modulate HR regulation in response to and recuperation from acute copollutant exposures.

T1  - Methodologic Issues and Approaches to Spatial Epidemiology
AN  - 21399061; 12110167
AB  - Spatial epidemiology is increasingly being used to assess health risks associated with environmental hazards. Risk patterns tend to have both a temporal and a spatial component; thus, spatial epidemiology must combine methods from epidemiology, statistics, and geographic information science. Recent statistical advances in spatial epidemiology include the use of smoothing in risk maps to create an interpretable risk surface, the extension of spatial models to incorporate the time dimension, and the combination of individual- and area-level information. Advances in geographic information systems and the growing availability of modeling packages have led to an improvement in exposure assessment. Techniques drawn from geographic information science are being developed to enable the visualization of uncertainty and ensure more meaningful inferences are made from data. When public health concerns related to the environment arise, it is essential to address such anxieties appropriately and in a timely manner. Tools designed to facilitate the investigation process are being developed, although the availability of complete and clean health data, and appropriate exposure data often remain limiting factors.

T1  - Community- and Individual-Level Socioeconomic Status and Breast Cancer Risk: Multilevel Modeling on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
AN  - 21395710; 12110164
AB  - BACKGROUND: Previous research demonstrated increased risk of breast cancer associated with higher socioeconomic status (SES) measured at both the individual and community levels. However, little attention has been paid to simultaneously examining both measures. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the independent influences of individual and community SES on the risk of breast cancer using case-control data. Because our previous work suggests that associations may be stronger after including a latency period, we also assessed the effect of community-level SES assuming a 10-year latency period. METHODS: We obtained individual education for cases and matched controls diagnosed between 1987 and 1993 on Cape Cod, Massachusetts (USA). We acquired community-level SES from census data for 1980 and 1990. Using SES data at diagnosis and 10 years earlier, we constructed models for breast cancer risk using individual-level SES only, community-level SES only, and a multilevel analysis including both. We adjusted models for other individual-level risk factors. RESULTS: Women with the highest education were at greater risk of developing breast cancer in both 1980 and 1990 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.17 and 1.19, respectively]. Similarly, women living in the highest-SES communities in 1990 had greater risk (OR = 1.30). Results were stronger in the analyses considering a latency period (OR = 1.69). Adjusting for intragroup correlation had little effect on the analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Models including individual- or community-level measures of SES produced associations similar to those observed in previous research. Results for models including both measures are consistent with a contextual effect of SES on risk of breast cancer independent of individual SES.

T1  - Diet and Nondiet Predictors of Urinary 3-Phenoxybenzoic Acid in NHANES 1999-2002
AN  - 21391663; 12110180
AB  - BACKGROUND: 3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3PBA), a pyrethroid metabolite, was detected in 75% of urine samples analyzed for pesticides in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2002. NHANES also includes 24-hr diet data and information on household pesticide use, activities, occupation, demographics, and other exposure factors. OBJECTIVES: The objective of our study was to explore the relative importance of diet versus nondiet predictors in explaining variability in urinary 3PBA. A secondary objective was to explore whether the NHANES data could be used to identify particular foods driving 3PBA levels. METHODS: We divided subjects into child (6-10 years of age), teen (11-18 years), and adult ( or = 19 years) age groups and restricted our analyses to subjects in the morning sampling session who fasted for or = 8 hr beforehand. Regression modeling consisted of several model-building steps and a final Tobit regression on the left-censored log 3PBA measurements. We also conducted bootstrap analyses to evaluate the stability of the regression parameters. RESULTS: Reported household pesticide use was not significantly associated with urinary 3PBA in any age group. Diet was significant for all three groups, and certain foods appeared to contribute more than others. Among adults, tobacco use was positively associated with 3PBA (p = 0.0326), and positive associations were suggested with the number of cytochrome p450-inhibiting medications taken (p = 0.0652) and minutes spent gardening (p = 0.0613) in the past month. CONCLUSIONS: Although exploratory, our findings underline the importance of collecting accurate data on household pesticide use and dietary intake when evaluating pyrethroid exposure-biomarker relationships.

T1  - Children Are Likely to Suffer Most from Our Fossil Fuel Addiction
AN  - 21385071; 12110184
AB  - BACKGROUND: The periods of fetal and child development arguably represent the stages of greatest vulnerability to the dual impacts of fossil fuel combustion: the multiple toxic effects of emitted pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particles, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, metals) and the broad health impacts of global climate change attributable in large part to carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel burning. OBJECTIVES: In this commentary I highlight current scientific evidence indicating that the fetus and young child are at heightened risk of developmental impairment, asthma, and cancer from fossil fuel pollutants and from the predicted effects of climate disruption such as heat waves, flooding, infectious disease, malnutrition, and trauma. Increased risk during early development derives from the inherently greater biologic vulnerability of the developing fetus and child and from their long future lifetime, during which early insults can potentially manifest as adult as well as childhood disease. I cite recent reports concluding that reducing dependence on fossil fuel and promoting clean and sustainable energy is economically feasible. DISCUSSION: Although much has been written separately about the toxicity of fossil fuel burning emissions and the effects of climate change on health, these two faces of the problem have not been viewed together with a focus on the developing fetus and child. Adolescence and old age are also periods of vulnerability, but the potential for both immediate and long-term adverse effects is greatest when exposure occurs prenatally or in the early years. CONCLUSIONS: Consideration of the full spectrum of health risks to children from fossil fuel combustion underscores the urgent need for environmental and energy policies to reduce fossil fuel dependence and maximize the health benefits to this susceptible population. We do not have to leave our children a double legacy of ill health and ecologic disaster.

T1  - Interactions between Glutathione S-Transferase P1, Tumor Necrosis Factor, and Traffic-Related Air Pollution for Development of Childhood Allergic Disease
AN  - 21384149; 12110171
AB  - BACKGROUND: Air pollutants may induce airway inflammation and sensitization due to generation of reactive oxygen species. The genetic background to these mechanisms could be important effect modifiers. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to assess interactions between exposure to air pollution and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) genes for development of childhood allergic disease. METHODS: In a birth cohort originally of 4,089 children, we assessed air pollution from local traffic using nitrogen oxides (traffic NO(x)) as an indicator based on emission databases and dispersion modeling and estimated individual exposure through geocoding of home addresses. We measured peak expiratory flow rates and specific IgE for inhalant and food allergens at 4 years of age, and selected children with asthma symptoms up to 4 years of age (n = 542) and controls (n = 542) for genotyping. RESULTS: Interaction effects on allergic sensitization were indicated between several GSTP1 SNPs and traffic NO(x) exposure during the first year of life (p(nominal) 0.001-0.06). Children with Ile105Val/Val105Val genotypes were at increased risk of sensitization to any allergen when exposed to elevated levels of traffic NO(x) (for a difference between the 5th and 95th percentile of exposure: odds ratio = 2.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-5.3). In children with TNF-308 GA/AA genotypes, the GSTP1-NO(x) interaction effect was even more pronounced. We observed no conclusive interaction effects for ADRB2. CONCLUSION: The effect of air pollution from traffic on childhood allergy appears to be modified by GSTP1 and TNF variants, supporting a role of genes controlling the antioxidative system and inflammatory response in allergy.

T1  - Estimating Community Drug Abuse by Wastewater Analysis
AN  - 21380874; 12110178
AB  - BACKGROUND: The social and medical problems of drug abuse are a matter of increasing global concern. To tackle drug abuse in changing scenarios, international drug agencies need fresh methods to monitor trends and patterns of illicit drug consumption. OBJECTIVE: We tested a sewage epidemiology approach, using levels of excreted drug residues in wastewater, to monitor collective use of the major drugs of abuse in near real time. METHODS: Selected drug target residues derived from use of cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and amphetamines were measured by mass spectrometry in wastewater collected at major sewage treatment plants in Milan (Italy), Lugano (Switzerland), and London (United Kingdom). The amounts of drug residues conveyed to the treatment plants, reflecting the amounts collectively excreted with urine, were used to estimate consumption of the active parent drugs. RESULTS: Reproducible and characteristic profiles of illicit drug use were obtained in the three cities, thus for the first time quickly revealing changes in local consumption (e.g., cocaine consumption rose significantly on weekends in Milan). Profiles of local drug consumption based on waste-water measurements are in line with national annual prevalence estimates. CONCLUSIONS: Patterns and trends of drug abuse in local communities can be promptly monitored by this tool, a convenient new complement to more complex, lengthy survey methods. In principle, searching the sewage for excreted compounds relevant to public health issues appears to have the potential to become a convenient source of real-time epidemiologic information.

AN  - 21380828; 12110168
AB  - BACKGROUND: Small-area studies are part of the tradition of spatial epidemiology, which is concerned with the analysis of geographic patterns of disease with respect to environmental, demographic, socioeconomic, and other factors. We focus on etiologic research, where the aim is to make inferences about spatially varying environmental factors influencing the risk of disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: We illustrate the approach through three exemplars: a) magnetic fields from overhead electric power lines and the occurrence of childhood leukemia, which illustrates the use of geographic information systems to focus on areas with high exposure prevalence; b) drinking-water disinfection by-products and reproductive outcomes, taking advantage of large between- to within-area variability in exposures from the water supply; and c) chronic exposure to air pollutants and cardiorespiratory health, where issues of socioeconomic confounding are particularly important. DISCUSSION: The small-area epidemiologic approach assigns exposure estimates to individuals based on location of residence or other geographic variables such as workplace or school. In this way, large populations can be studied, increasing the ability to investigate rare exposures or rare diseases. The approach is most effective when there is well-defined exposure variation across geographic units, limited within-area variation, and good control for potential confounding across areas. CONCLUSIONS: In conjunction with traditional individual-based approaches, small-area studies offer a valuable addition to the armamentarium of the environmental epidemiologist. Modeling of exposure patterns coupled with collection of individual-level data on subsamples of the population should lead to improved risk estimates (i.e., less potential for bias) and help strengthen etiologic inference.

T1  - Genomic Profiling Reveals an Alternate Mechanism for Hepatic Tumor Promotion by Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Rainbow Trout
AN  - 21372702; 12110175
AB  - BACKGROUND: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a potent hepatocarcinogen and peroxisome proliferator (PP) in rodents. Humans are not susceptible to peroxisome proliferation and are considered refractory to carcinogenesis by PPs. Previous studies with rainbow trout indicate they are also insensitive to peroxisome proliferation by the PP dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), but are still susceptible to enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis after chronic exposure. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we used trout as a unique in vivo tumor model to study the potential for PFOA carcinogenesis in the absence of peroxisome proliferation compared with the structurally diverse PPs clofibrate (CLOF) and DHEA. Mechanisms of carcinogenesis were identified from hepatic gene expression profiles phenotypically anchored to tumor outcome. METHODS: We fed aflatoxin B(1) or sham-initiated animals 200-1,800 ppm PFOA in the diet for 30 weeks for tumor analysis. We subsequently examined gene expression by cDNA array in animals fed PFOA, DHEA, CLOF, or 5 ppm 17beta-estradiol (E(2), a known tumor promoter) in the diet for 14 days. RESULTS: PFOA (1,800 ppm or 50 mg/kg/day) and DHEA treatments resulted in enhanced liver tumor incidence and multiplicity (p 0.0001), whereas CLOF showed no effect. Carcinogenesis was independent of peroxisome proliferation, measured by lack of peroxisomal beta-oxidation and catalase activity. Alternately, both tumor promoters, PFOA and DHEA, resulted in estrogenic gene signatures with strong correlation to E(2) by Pearson correlation (R = 0.81 and 0.78, respectively), whereas CLOF regulated no genes in common with E(2). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the tumor-promoting activities of PFOA in trout are due to novel mechanisms involving estrogenic signaling and are independent of peroxisome proliferation.

T1  - Integrating Human Health into Environmental Impact Assessment: An Unrealized Opportunity for Environmental Health and Justice
AN  - 21370956; 12110183
AB  - OBJECTIVES: The National Environmental Policy Act and related state laws require many public agencies to analyze and disclose potentially significant environmental effects of agency actions, including effects on human health. In this paper we review the purpose and procedures of environmental impact assessment (EIA), existing regulatory requirements for health effects analysis, and potential barriers to and opportunities for improving integration of human health concerns within the EIA process. DATA SOURCES: We use statutes, regulations, guidelines, court opinions, and empirical research on EIA along with recent case examples of integrated health impact assessment (HIA)/EIA at both the state and federal level. DATA SYNTHESIS: We extract lessons and recommendations for integrated HIA/EIA practice from both existing practices as well as case studies. CONCLUSIONS: The case studies demonstrate the adequacy, scope, and power of existing statutory requirements for health analysis within EIA. The following support the success of integrated HIA/EIA: a proponent recognizing EIA as an available regulatory strategy for public health; the openness of the agency conducting the EIA; involvement of public health institutions; and complementary objectives among community stakeholders and health practitioners. We recommend greater collaboration among institutions responsible for EIA, public health institutions, and affected stakeholders along with guidance, resources, and training for integrated HIA/EIA practice.

T1  - Effects of Exposure to 0.06 ppm Ozone on FEVsub 1 in Humans: A Secondary Analysis of Existing Data
AN  - 21370906; 12110179
AB  - BACKGROUND: Ozone is a potent photochemical oxidant that produces transient, reversible decrements in the lung function of acutely exposed individuals. A recent study provided previously unavailable clinical data for 30 healthy young adults exposed to O(3) at 0.06 ppm. That study showed significant effects of 0.08 ppm on lung function, confirming the findings of others. However, exposure to 0.06 ppm O(3) was not reported to significantly affect lung function. OBJECTIVES: We conducted this analysis to reevaluate the existing lung function data of the volunteers previously exposed to 0.06 ppm O(3). METHODS: We obtained pre- and postexposure data on forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV(1)) for all subjects who were previously exposed for 6.6 hr to filtered air or to 0.06 ppm or 0.08 ppm O(3). We used standard statistical methods appropriate for paired comparisons to reanalyze FEV(1) responses after exposure to 0.06 ppm O(3) relative to filtered air. RESULTS: Controlling for filtered air responses, 24 of the 30 subjects experienced an O(3)-induced decrement in FEV(1). On average, 0.06 ppm O(3) exposure caused a 2.85% reduction in FEV(1) (p 0.002), which was consistent with the predicted FEV(1) response from existing models. Although the average response was small, two subjects had 10% FEV(1) decrements. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to 0.06 ppm O(3) causes a biologically small but highly statistically significant decrease in mean FEV(1) responses of young healthy adults.

T1  - Computational Toxicology of Chloroform: Reverse Dosimetry Using Bayesian Inference, Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation, and Human Biomonitoring Data
AN  - 21370869; 12110176
AB  - BACKGROUND: One problem of interpreting population-based biomonitoring data is the reconstruction of corresponding external exposure in cases where no such data are available. OBJECTIVES: We demonstrate the use of a computational framework that integrates physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, Bayesian inference, and Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation to obtain a population estimate of environmental chloroform source concentrations consistent with human biomonitoring data. The biomonitoring data consist of chloroform blood concentrations measured as part of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), and for which no corresponding exposure data were collected. METHODS: We used a combined PBPK and shower exposure model to consider several routes and sources of exposure: ingestion of tap water, inhalation of ambient household air, and inhalation and dermal absorption while showering. We determined posterior distributions for chloroform concentration in tap water and ambient household air using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) data as prior distributions for the Bayesian analysis. RESULTS: Posterior distributions for exposure indicate that 95% of the population represented by the NHANES III data had likely chloroform exposures or = 67 microg/L in tap water and or = 0.02 microg/L in ambient household air. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate the application of computer simulation to aid in the interpretation of human biomonitoring data in the context of the exposure-health evaluation-risk assessment continuum. These results should be considered as a demonstration of the method and can be improved with the addition of more detailed data.

T1  - Road Proximity Increases Risk of Skeletal Abnormalities in Wood Frogs from National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska
AN  - 21368480; 12110181
AB  - BACKGROUND: Skeletal and eye abnormalities in amphibians are not well understood, and they appear to be increasing while global populations decline. Here, we present the first study of amphibian abnormalities in Alaska. OBJECTIVE: In this study we investigated the relationship between anthropogenic influences and the probability of skeletal and eye abnormalities in Alaskan wood frogs (Rana sylvatica). METHODS: From 2000 to 2006, we examined 9,269 metamorphic wood frogs from 86 breeding sites on five National Wildlife Refuges: Arctic, Innoko, Kenai, Tetlin, and Yukon Delta. Using road proximity as a proxy for human development, we tested relationships between skeletal and eye abnormalities and anthropogenic effects. We also examined a subsample of 458 frogs for the trematode parasite Ribeiroia ondatrae, a known cause of amphibian limb abnormalities. RESULTS: Prevalence of skeletal and eye abnormalities at Alaskan refuges ranged from 1.5% to 7.9% and were as high as 20% at individual breeding sites. Proximity to roads increased the risk of skeletal abnormalities (p = 0.004) but not eye abnormalities. The only significant predictor of eye abnormalities was year sampled (p = 0.006). R. ondatrae was not detected in any Alaskan wood frogs. CONCLUSIONS: Abnormality prevalence at road-accessible sites in the Kenai and Tetlin refuges is among the highest reported in the published literature. Proximity to roads is positively correlated with risk of skeletal abnormalities in Alaskan wood frogs.

T1  - Prenatal Phenol and Phthalate Exposures and Birth Outcomes
AN  - 21368457; 12110169
AB  - BACKGROUND: Many phthalates and phenols are hormonally active and are suspected to alter the course of development. OBJECTIVE: We investigated prenatal exposures to phthalate and phenol metabolites and their associations with body size measures of the infants at birth. METHODS: We measured 5 phenol and 10 phthalate urinary metabolites in a multiethnic cohort of 404 women in New York City during their third trimester of pregnancy and recorded size of infants at birth. RESULTS: Median urinary concentrations were 10 microg/L for 2 of 5 phenols and 6 of 10 phthalate monoester metabolites. Concentrations of low-molecular-weight phthalate monoesters (low-MWP) were approximately 5-fold greater than those of high-molecular-weight metabolites. Low-MWP metabolites had a positive association with gestational age [0.97 day gestational age per ln-biomarker; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.07-1.9 days, multivariate adjusted] and with head circumference. Higher prenatal exposures to 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) predicted lower birth weight in boys (-210 g average birth weight difference between the third tertile and first tertile of 2,5-DCP; 95% CI, 71-348 g). Higher maternal benzophenone-3 (BP3) concentrations were associated with a similar decrease in birth weight among girls but with greater birth weight in boys. CONCLUSIONS: We observed a range of phthalate and phenol exposures during pregnancy in our population, but few were associated with birth size. The association of 2,5-DCP and BP3 with reduced or increased birth weight could be important in very early or small-size births. In addition, positive associations of urinary metabolites with some outcomes may be attributable partly to unresolved confounding with maternal anthropometric factors.

T1  - Pentachlorophenol and Cancer Risk: Focusing the Lens on Specific Chlorophenols and Contaminants
AN  - 21355802; 12110182
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Pentachlorophenol, a fungicide widely used as a wood preservative, was classified in 1999 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a possible human carcinogen. We reviewed currently available data to determine the extent to which recent studies assist in distinguishing the effect of pentachlorophenol from that of its contaminants (e.g., dioxins and other chlorophenols). DATA SOURCES AND EXTRACTION: We performed a systematic review of published studies pertaining to cancer risk in relation to pentachlorophenol exposure, focusing on results pertaining specifically to all cancer sites and specific hematopoietic cancers, and data pertaining to risks associated with other types of chlorophenols, dioxins, or furans. SYNTHESIS: The pentachlorophenol studies presented considerable evidence pertaining to hematopoietic cancers, with strong associations seen in multiple studies, in different locations, and using different designs. There is little evidence of an association between these cancers and chlorophenols that contain fewer than four chlorines. The extension of a large cohort study of sawmill workers, with follow-up to 1995, provided information about risks of relatively rare cancers (e.g., non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma), using a validated exposure assessment procedure that distinguishes between exposures to pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol. In contrast with dioxin, pentachlorophenol exposure has not been associated with total cancer incidence or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The updated cohort study focusing on pentachlorophenol provides increased statistical power and precision, and demonstrates associations between hematopoietic cancer and pentachlorophenol exposure not observed in earlier evaluations of this cohort. Contaminant confounding is an unlikely explanation for the risks seen with pentachlorophenol exposure.

T1  - Maternal and Gestational Risk Factors for Hypospadias
AN  - 21355785; 12110172
AB  - BACKGROUND: An increase in the prevalence of hypospadias has been reported, but the environmental causes remain virtually unknown. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to assess the association between risk of hypospadias and indicators of placental function and endogenous hormone levels, exposure to exogenous hormones, maternal diet during pregnancy, and other environmental factors. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study in Sweden and Denmark from 2000 through 2005 using self-administered questionnaires completed by mothers of hypospadias cases and matched controls. The response rate was 88% and 81% among mothers of cases and controls, respectively. The analyses included 292 cases and 427 controls. RESULTS: A diet during pregnancy lacking both fish and meat was associated with a more than 4-fold increased risk of hypospadias [odds ratio (OR) = 4.6; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.6-13.3]. Boys born to obese [body mass index (BMI) or = 30] women had a more than 2-fold increased risk of hypospadias (OR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.2-5.7) compared with boys born to mothers with a normal weight (BMI = 20-24). Maternal hypertension during pregnancy and absence of maternal nausea increased a boy's risk of hypospadias 2.0-fold (95% CI, 1.1-3.7) and 1.8-fold (95% CI, 1.2-2.8), respectively. Nausea in late pregnancy also appeared to be positively associated with hypospadias risk (OR = 7.6; 95% CI, 1.1-53). CONCLUSIONS: A pregnancy diet lacking meat and fish appears to increase the risk of hypospadias in the offspring. Other risk associations were compatible with a role for placental insufficiency in the etiology of hypospadias.

T1  - Ambient Ozone Concentrations Cause Increased Hospitalizations for Asthma in Children: An 18-Year Study in Southern California
AN  - 21352422; 12110173
AB  - BACKGROUND: Asthma is the most important chronic disease of childhood. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that children with asthma continue to be susceptible to ozone-associated adverse effects on their disease. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate time trends in associations between declining warm-season O(3) concentrations and hospitalization for asthma in children. METHODS: We undertook an ecologic study of hospital discharges for asthma during the high O(3) seasons in California's South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) in children who ranged in age from birth to 19 years from 1983 to 2000. We used standard association and causal statistical analysis methods. Hospital discharge data were obtained from the State of California; air pollution data were obtained from the California Air Resources Board, and demographic data from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 U.S. Census. SoCAB was divided into 195 spatial grids, and quarterly average O(3), sulfurdioxide, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter or = 10 microm, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide were assigned to each unit for 3-month periods along with demographic variables. RESULTS: O(3) was the only pollutant associated with increased hospital admissions over the study period. Inclusion of a variety of demographic and weather variables accounted for all of the non-O(3) temporal changes in hospitalizations. We found a time-independent, constant effect of ambient levels of O(3) and quarterly hospital discharge rates for asthma. We estimate that the average effect of a 10-ppb mean increase in any given mean quarterly 1-hr maximum O(3) over the 18-year median of 87.7 ppb was a 4.6% increase in the same quarterly outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that at current levels of O(3) experienced in Southern California, O(3) contributes to an increased risk of hospitalization for children with asthma.

T1  - Relation between Cord Blood Mercury Levels and Early Child Development in a World Trade Center Cohort
AN  - 21352404; 12110170
AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine whether prenatal mercury exposure, including potential releases from the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster, adversely affects fetal growth and child development. METHODS: We determined maternal and umbilical cord blood total mercury of nonsmoking women who delivered at term in lower Manhattan after 11 September 2001, and measured birth outcomes and child development. RESULTS: Levels of total mercury in cord and maternal blood were not significantly higher for women who resided or worked within 1 or 2 miles of the WTC in the month after 11 September, compared with women who lived and worked farther away. Average cord mercury levels were more than twice maternal levels, and both were elevated in women who reported eating fish/seafood during pregnancy. Regression analyses showed no significant association between (ln) cord or maternal blood total mercury and birth outcomes. Log cord mercury was inversely associated with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development psychomotor score [Psychomotor Development Index (PDI)] at 36 months (b = -4.2, p = 0.007) and with Performance (b = -3.4, p = 0.023), Verbal (b = -2.9, p = 0.023), and Full IQ scores (b = -3.8, p = 0.002) on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Revised (WPPSI-R), at 48 months, after controlling for fish/seafood consumption and other confounders. Fish/seafood consumption during pregnancy was significantly associated with a 5.6- to 9.9-point increase in 36-month PDI, and 48-month Verbal and Full IQ scores. CONCLUSIONS: Blood mercury was not significantly raised in women living or working close to the WTC site in the weeks after 11 September 2001. Higher cord blood mercury was associated with reductions in developmental scores at 36 and 48 months, after adjusting for the positive effects of fish/seafood consumption during pregnancy.

T1  - Comparison of Different Methods for Spatial Analysis of Cancer Data in Utah
AN  - 21352390; 12110165
AB  - BACKGROUND: The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and SaTScan software are used by the Environmental Epidemiology Program (EEP), Utah Department of Health, to investigate health concerns and exposures in Utah (USA). Recently, the EEP acquired the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF). The RIF enables access of additional dimensions of data, identifies potentially exposed populations, and computes disease rates and relative risk statistics for that potentially exposed population. OBJECTIVE: In this article we present a comparison of the SIR, SaTScan, and RIF methodologies in an investigation of cancer rates in residents living over contaminated groundwater plumes near Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) in Utah. METHODS: For this study, we used cancer data from the Utah Cancer Registry for cancers of the lung, kidney, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We used SIR and the RIF to investigate the cancer rate in a defined population within the study area during six consecutive 5-year time intervals (1975-2004). We used SaTScan and the RIF to explore the study area for clusters. RESULTS: The RIF risk analysis and SIR are mathematically identical. SIR is set up and computed by programming SAS; the RIF risk analysis, on the other hand, is set up through four menu-driven steps. The RIF disease-mapping feature enhanced the interpretation of SaTScan results. We found kidney and lung cancer to be statistically elevated for the potentially exposed population for one and two periods, respectively. SaTScan found two clusters, one outside the potentially exposed population and one that included a portion of that population. CONCLUSION: The RIF is an easy-to-use and useful tool that extends the ability of the investigator to conduct analysis of disease rates and interpret the findings.

T1  - Use of Space-Time Models to Investigate the Stability of Patterns of Disease
AN  - 21346658; 12110166
AB  - BACKGROUND: The use of Bayesian hierarchical spatial models has become widespread in disease mapping and ecologic studies of health-environment associations. In this type of study, the data are typically aggregated over an extensive time period, thus neglecting the time dimension. The output of purely spatial disease mapping studies is therefore the average spatial pattern of risk over the period analyzed, but the results do not inform about, for example, whether a high average risk was sustained over time or changed over time. OBJECTIVE: We investigated how including the time dimension in disease-mapping models strengthens the epidemiologic interpretation of the overall pattern of risk. METHODS: We discuss a class of Bayesian hierarchical models that simultaneously characterize and estimate the stable spatial and temporal patterns as well as departures from these stable components. We show how useful rules for classifying areas as stable can be constructed based on the posterior distribution of the space-time interactions. We carry out a simulation study to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the decision rules we propose, and we illustrate our approach in a case study of congenital anomalies in England. RESULTS: Our results confirm that extending hierarchical disease-mapping models to models that simultaneously consider space and time leads to a number of benefits in terms of interpretation and potential for detection of localized excesses.

T1  - Rats on the run: removal of alien terrestrial predators affects bush rat behaviour
AN  - 21334803; 11721782
AB  - Predators can strongly influence the microhabitat use and foraging behaviour of prey. In a large-scale replicated field experiment in East Gippsland, Australia, we tested the effects of reduced alien red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and alien wild dog (Canis lupus familiaris) abundance (treatment) on native bush rat (Rattus fuscipes) behaviour. Bush rats are exposed to two main guilds of predators, namely mammalian carnivores and birds of prey. Tracking rat movements using the spool-and-line technique revealed that, in treatment sites, rats used ground cover, which provides shelter from predators, less often than at unmanipulated fox and wild dog abundance (non-treatment sites). In treatment sites, rats more frequently moved on logs where they would have been exposed to hunting foxes and dogs than in non-treatment sites. Furthermore, in treatments, rats showed a preference for understorey but not in non-treatments. Hence, bush rats adapted their behaviour to removal of alien terrestrial predators. Giving-up densities (GUDs) indicated no treatment effects on the marginal feeding rate of bush rats. Interestingly, GUDs were higher in open patches than in sheltered patches, suggesting higher perceived predation risk of bush rats during foraging at low versus high cover. The lack of treatment effects on GUDs but the clear response of bush rats to cover may be explained by the impact of predators other than foxes and wild dogs.

T1  - Effect of cocoa flavanols and exercise on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese subjects
AN  - 21051814; 8473014
AB  - Objective: Impaired endothelial function in obesity may reduce blood flow to sites of metabolism, contributing to impaired fat oxidation and insulin resistance. This study investigated the effects of cocoa flavanols and regular exercise, interventions known to improve endothelial function, on cardiometabolic function and body composition in obese individuals. Overweight and obese adults were randomly assigned to high-flavanol cocoa (HF, 902 mg flavanols), HF and exercise, low-flavanol cocoa (LF, 36 mg flavanols), or LF and exercise for 12 weeks (exercise duration was 3 x 45 min per week at 75% of age-predicted maximum heart rate). Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at 0 and 12 weeks. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), supine blood pressure (BP) and fasting plasma insulin, and glucose levels were assessed at 0, 6 and 12 weeks, respectively. Insulin sensitivity/resistance was determined using the modified homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA2). A total of 49 subjects (M = 18; F = 31) completed the intervention. Baseline averages were as follows: body mass index = 33.5 kg/m super(2); BP = 123/76 mm Hg; HOMA2 = 2.4; FMD = 4.3%; rate of fat oxidation during exercise = 0.34g min super(-1); abdominal fat = 45.7% of total abdominal mass. Compared to LF, HF increased FMD acutely (2h post-dose) by 2.4% (P < 0.01) and chronically (over 12 weeks; P < 0.01) by 1.6% and reduced insulin resistance by 0.31% (P < 0.05), diastolic BP by 1.6 mm Hg and mean arterial BP by 1.2 mm Hg (P < 0.05), independent of exercise. Regular exercise increased fat oxidation during exercise by 0.10g min super(-1) (P < 0.01) and reduced abdominal fat by 0.92% (P < 0.05). Although HF consumption was shown to improve endothelial function, it did not enhance the effects of exercise on body fat and fat metabolism in obese subjects. However, it may be useful for reducing cardiometabolic risk factors in this population.

T1  - Direct and indirect effects of egg parasitism by Neopolycystus Girault sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on Paropsis atomaria Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
AN  - 21029104; 8480840
AB  - AbstractNeopolycystus sp. is the only primary egg parasitoid associated with the pest beetle Paropsis atomaria in subtropical eucalypt plantations, but its impact on its host populations is unknown. The simplified ecosystem represented by the plantation habitat, lack of interspecific competition for host and parasitoid, and the multivoltinism of the host population makes this an ideal system for quantifying the direct and indirect effects of egg parasitism, and hence, effects on host population dynamics. Within-, between- and overall-egg-batch parasitism rates were determined at three field sites over two field seasons, and up to seven host generations. The effect of exposure time (egg batch age), host density proximity to native forest and water sources on egg parasitism rates was also tested. Neopolycystus sp. exerts a significant influence on P.atomaria populations in Eucalyptus cloeziana. plantations in south-eastern Queensland, causing the direct (13%) and indirect (15%) mortality of almost one-third of all eggs in the field. Across seasons and generations, 45% of egg batches were parasitised, with a within-batch parasitism rate of around 30%. Between-batch parasitism increased up to 5-6days after oviposition in the field, although within-batch parasitism rates generally did not. However, there were few apparent patterns to egg parasitism, with rates often varying significantly between sites and seasons.

T1  - Natural enemies of Paropsis atomaria Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in south-eastern Queensland eucalypt plantations
AN  - 21028066; 8480839
AB  - AbstractA field survey for natural enemies of Paropsis atomaria was conducted at two south-eastern Queensland Eucalyptus cloeziana plantation sites during 2004-2005. Primary egg and larval parasitoids and associated hyperparasitoids were identified to genus or species, and parasitism rates were determined throughout the season. Predators were identified to family level but their impact was not quantified. P.atomaria adults were also examined as potential hosts for parasitic mites and nematodes. An undescribed species of Neopolycystus (Pteromalidae) was the major primary egg parasitoid species reared from egg batches, parasitising half of all egg batches collected. Three hyperparasitoid species (Baeoanusia albifunicle (Encyrtidae), Neblatticida sp. (Encyrtidae) and Aphaneromella sp. (Platygasteridae) were present, representing around one-quarter to one-third of all emergent wasps; this is the first host association record for Neopolycystus-B.albifunicle. In contrast to populations of P.atomaria from the Australian Capital Territory, primary larval parasitism was very low, around 1%, and attributable only to the tachinid flies Anagonia sp. and Paropsivora sp. However, the presence of the sit-and-wait larval hyperparasitoid, Perilampus sp. (Perilampidae) was high, emerging from around 17% of tachinid pupae, with planidia infesting a further 40% of unparasitised hosts. Three species of podapolipid mites parasitised sexually mature P.atomaria adults, while no nematodes were found in this study. Spiders were the most common predators and their abundance was positively correlated with P.atomaria adult and egg numbers. Although natural enemy species composition was identical between our two study sites, significant differences in abundance and frequency were found between sites.

T1  - Onset of severe nitrification in mildly nitrifying chloraminated bulk waters and its relation to biostability
AN  - 20996055; 8495307
AB  - Triggers of severe nitrification in distribution systems are still not clearly understood. Recently, the biostability concept was proposed to explain the chloramine residual below which signs of nitrification would be seen. To improve understanding, mildly nitrifying bulk water samples (nitrite less than 0.010mg-N/L) from Sydney Water distribution systems were incubated at constant temperatures and periodically analysed for nitrogenous compounds and total chlorine. Total ammoniacal nitrogen in the sample was between 0.25 and 0.35mg-N/L. Severe nitrification was triggered when chloramine residuals dropped below about 0.4mg/L - the critical threshold residual. In 45 such samples, the critical threshold residual was 0.2-0.65mg/L. The biostability concept was found to be useful in explaining the residual below which net growth of microorganisms begins. However, this alone could not predict the critical threshold residual. Different means of overcoming this problem are discussed. One of these is the use of the microbial decay factor method, since microbiologically assisted chloramine decay in the samples studied was found to be mostly the result of ammonia-oxidising bacterial activity. Nitrite levels in winter were found to be poor indicators of nitrifying status. Overall the results were found to be useful in controlling nitrification and to obtain early warning of severe nitrification.

T1  - Common reptiles unaffected by connectivity or condition in a fragmented farming landscape
AN  - 20917444; 8388612
AB  - AbstractSpecies need to disperse at a broad range of spatial scales, the recognition of which has spawned programmes such as Wildlands and WildCountry that aim to restore large-scale connectivity. To achieve connectivity, a first step is to understand how wildlife uses existing remnants. In this study we examine the effect of remnant isolation and condition on the reptile fauna of fragmented mallee habitats in southern Australia. In three replicate landscapes we use pitfall traps to survey reptiles in five landscape elements: Conservation Park, connected, disconnected and isolated fragments, and the agricultural matrix. Reptile species richness, abundance, abundance of snakes, skinks and the 10 most common species had no significant association with landscape elements, excluding the matrix. This was despite a substantial reduction in plant species richness in the fragments, particularly of shrubs. Only seven individual reptiles were captured in the matrix, most on one site with deep sandy soils. The farmland on clay soils appeared to be relatively impermeable for reptiles, although four species could traverse 100m of cleared sand-dune. The lack of an isolation effect suggests that populations in remnants are persistent, or that occasional dispersal by common reptiles maintains populations. In contrast with common species, fewer rare species were captured in remnants compared with the Conservation Park, implying that some species may be entirely excluded from the remnants. Our study suggests that the spatial configuration and condition of the fragments sustain populations of many common reptile species. Remnants will therefore be invaluable as attempts are made to restore landscape-scale permeability. However, additional conservation effort should be made to restore plant species that have been lost from the agricultural landscape. Future research should aim to better define the suite of reptile species that may not be able to use the remnants at all.

T1  - b-Lactam and aminoglycoside resistance rates and mechanisms among Pseudomonas aeruginosa in French general practice (community and private healthcare centres)
AN  - 20879659; 8339623
AB  - OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess antibiotic resistance rates and mechanisms of b-lactam and aminoglycoside resistance among isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in the extra-hospital setting (community and private healthcare centres). PATIENTS AND METHODS: During a 4 month period, 226 non-repetitive strains of P. aeruginosa were collected from patients residing in private healthcare centres (73.5%) or at home (26.5%). Resistance rates were evaluated by MIC determination, and b-lactam and aminoglycoside resistance was analysed by phenotypic tests, PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing. RESULTS: Among the ticarcillin-resistant strains (38.1%), 33.7% overexpressed their chromosomal cephalosporinase, 27.9% produced acquired penicillinases (21 PSE-1, 2 OXA-21 and 1 TEM-2), 4.7% produced extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) (3 TEM-21 and 1 SHV-2a) and 45.3% possessed a non-enzymatic resistance (NER). Thus, 88.4% had a single mechanism of resistance, whereas 11.6% cumulated several mechanisms. No carbapenemases were detected among the 6.6% imipenem-resistant strains. With regard to aminoglycosides, 23.0% of the strains exhibited an acquired resistance to gentamicin (GEN), tobramycin (TOB), amikacin (AMK) or netilmicin (NET). Enzymatic resistance was more frequent (71.2%) than NER (34.6%). Various aminoglycoside modifying enzymes were associated with overlapping phenotypes: 36.5% strains produced AAC(6')-I with either a serine (GEN-TOB-NET) or a leucine (TOB-NET-AMK) at position 119, or both variants (GEN-TOB-NET-AMK); 21.2% expressed ANT(2'')-I (GEN-TOB), 7.7% AAC(3)-II (GEN-TOB-NET), 5.8% AAC(3)-I (GEN) and 1.9% AAC(6')-II (GEN-TOB-NET-AMK) or AACA7 (TOB-NET-AMK). CONCLUSIONS: Antibiotic resistance rates in P. aeruginosa were globally similar in general practice as in French hospitals. This first analysis of resistance mechanisms showed an unexpectedly high frequency of ESBLs and an unusual distribution of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes.

T1  - Application of the Lambert W function to steady shearing flows of the Papanastasiou model
AN  - 20870464; 8298005
AB  - Using the Lambert W function, the constitutive relation of the Papanastasiou model is inverted so that the second invariant of the first Rivlin-Ericksen tensor can be expressed as a function of the second invariant of the extra stress tensor. In steady shearing flows, this results in the magnitude of the shear rate becoming a function of the magnitude of the shear stress. Since the distribution of the latter is known explicitly in channel, Poiseuille and Couette flows, one can investigate the nature of analytical solutions in these flows. It is shown that explicit answers are found for channel and Poiseuille flows only, with the Couette flow requiring a numerical solution in general. From the channel flow results, it is obvious that there is a great amount of congruence between the predictions of the Papanastasiou model and the Bingham fluid. In turn, this lends further confidence to the application of the Papanastasiou model to study the flows of Bingham fluids.

T1  - Novel applications of red mud as coagulant, adsorbent and catalyst for environmentally benign processes
AN  - 19901239; 8400261
AB  - Red mud (RM) is a by-product of bauxite processing via the Bayer process. Its disposal remains an issue of great importance with significant environmental concerns. In the past decades, a lot of research has been done to utilize red mud for environmental-benign applications such as a building material additive and for metal recovery. In recent years, red mud has also been explored for gas cleaning and wastewater treatment. In this paper, we review varying novel applications of red mud as a coagulant and adsorbent for water and gas treatment as well as catalyst for some industrial processes. The environmental compatibility of red mud is discussed. Some directions of future research are also proposed. Red mud presents a promising application in water treatment for removal of toxic heavy metal and metalloid ions, inorganic anions such as nitrate, fluoride, and phosphate, as well as organics including dyes, phenolic compounds and bacteria. In addition, red mud can also be employed as catalysts for hydrogenation, hydrodechlorination and hydrocarbon oxidation. Moreover, leaching and eco-toxicological tests indicate that red mud does not present high toxicity to the environment before or after reuse.

T1  - Theoretical foundations of sustainable economic welfare indicators - ISEW and political economy of the disembedded system
AN  - 19544953; 8603610
AB  - The conceptual foundations of the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW) are surveyed and critiqued. It is argued that the three underlying theories of community, psychic income, and social welfare economics supply certain theoretical foundations for the ISEW. The focal point of the theories is to evaluate the positives and negatives of economic growth, with the hope of achieving a practical measure of sustainable economic welfare. However, they are not as well developed as they should be: the three theories have partial, underdeveloped explanations of the benefits (services) and costs (disservices) generated in the system. The theoretical particulars of ISEW abstract from the workings of the capitalist system, because the ISEW advocates have not specified a society in the socioeconomic system which we currently have. Specifically, there is no underlying linked systems view of the disembedded economy - where the exchange economy tends to dominate other aspects of culture. Without a systematic understanding of the political economy of capitalism, the ISEW is potentially flawed in design. Therefore, there is a need to search for a critical approach to sustainable economic welfare. As a point of departure, it is better to have a political economy theory. The political economy of the disembedded system provides an alternative theoretical approach to ISEW.

T1  - A comparison of The Limits to Growth with 30 years of reality
AN  - 19544051; 8566002
AB  - In 1972, the Club of Rome's infamous report ''The Limits to Growth'' [Meadows, D.H., Meadows, D.L., Randers, J., Behrens_III, W. W. (1972). The Limits to Growth: A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankind. Universe Books, New York] presented some challenging scenarios for global sustainability, based on a system dynamics computer model to simulate the interactions of five global economic subsystems, namely: population, food production, industrial production, pollution, and consumption of non-renewable natural resources. Contrary to popular belief, The Limits to Growth scenarios by the team of analysts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology did not predict world collapse by the end of the 20th century. This paper focuses on a comparison of recently collated historical data for 1970-2000 with scenarios presented in the Limits to Growth. The analysis shows that 30 years of historical data compare favorably with key features of a business-as-usual scenario called the ''standard run'' scenario, which results in collapse of the global system midway through the 21st century. The data do not compare well with other scenarios involving comprehensive use of technology or stabilizing behaviour and policies. The results indicate the particular importance of understanding and controlling global pollution.

T1  - Genetic Evidence That Cellulose Synthase Activity Influences Microtubule Cortical Array Organization
AN  - 19479462; 8406704
AB  - To identify factors that influence cytoskeletal organization we screened for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants that show hypersensitivity to the microtubule destabilizing drug oryzalin. We cloned the genes corresponding to two of the 131 mutant lines obtained. The genes encoded mutant alleles of PROCUSTE1 and KORRIGAN, which both encode proteins that have previously been implicated in cellulose synthesis. Analysis of microtubules in the mutants revealed that both mutants have altered orientation of root cortical microtubules. Similarly, isoxaben, an inhibitor of cellulose synthesis, also altered the orientation of cortical microtubules while exogenous cellulose degradation did not. Thus, our results substantiate that proteins involved in cell wall biosynthesis influence cytoskeletal organization and indicate that this influence on cortical microtubule stability and orientation is correlated with cellulose synthesis rather than the integrity of the cell wall.

T1  - Livestock grazing, plateau pikas and the conservation of avian biodiversity on the Tibetan plateau
AN  - 19395458; 8436888
AB  - On the Qinghai-Tibet plateau increased livestock numbers have resulted in degradation of the grasslands with potential impacts on native biodiversity. Concurrently, perceived increases in populations of native small mammals such as plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) have led to poisoning programs, with uncertain impacts on species such as ground-nesting birds. We explored the relationships between the local seasonal abundance of small birds and (1) the density of pika burrows; (2) livestock grazing practices; and (3) local poisoning of pikas. Around Naqu prefecture, central Tibet, we used a nested experimental design to collect data from areas rested from grazing over summer, nearby areas with year-round grazing and areas subjected to pika poisoning. Additional data were collected from a site where grazing had not occurred for at least 4 years prior to the study. Poisoning pikas in spring had no detectable effect on the local abundance of birds the following autumn. However, two ground-nesting species, white-rumped and rufous-necked snowfinches, showed positive associations with the density of pika burrows, indicating that long-term pika poisoning could reduce the density of these species by reducing the density of pika burrows. Rufous-necked snowfinches and non ground-nesting species including horned larks and common hoopoes showed positive responses to reduced grazing pressure from livestock, particularly in the long-rested site, indicating current grazing levels could be having a negative impact on these species. Conservation of small passerine biodiversity in this system will require changed management practices for livestock and pikas that consider the complex three-way interaction between livestock grazing, pikas and small birds.

T1  - Odour sampling. 2. Comparison of physical and aerodynamic characteristics of sampling devices: a review.
AN  - 70402808; 17512194
AB  - Sampling devices differing greatly in shape, size and operating condition have been used to collect air samples to determine rates of emission of volatile substances, including odour. However, physical chemistry principles, in particular the partitioning of volatile substances between two phases as explained by Henrys Law and the relationship between wind velocity and emission rate, suggests that different devices cannot be expected to provide equivalent emission rate estimates. Thus several problems are associated with the use of static and dynamic emission chambers, but the more turbulent devices such as wind tunnels do not appear to be subject to these problems. In general, the ability to relate emission rate estimates obtained from wind tunnel measurements to those derived from device-independent techniques supports the use of wind tunnels to determine emission rates that can be used as input data for dispersion models.

T1  - Odour sampling 1: Physical chemistry considerations.
AN  - 70400561; 17596941
AB  - The selection of an odour sampling device may influence the composition of the resulting odour sample. Limited comparison of emission rates derived from turbulent and essentially quiescent sampling devices confirms that the emission rates derived from these devices are quite different. There is therefore compelling evidence that current odour sampling practice should have greater regard for fundamental physical and chemical principles, the nature of the odour source and the conditions created by the sampling device. Such consideration may identify the most appropriate situations under which the use of these devices may or may not be correct.

T1  - The expanding role of mouse genetics for understanding human biology and disease.
AN  - 69846680; 19048054
AB  - It has taken about 100 years since the mouse first captured our imagination as an intriguing animal for it to become the premier genetic model organism. An expanding repertoire of genetic technology, together with sequencing of the genome and biological conservation, place the mouse at the foremost position as a model to decipher mechanisms underlying biological and disease processes. The combined approaches of embryonic stem cell-based technologies, chemical and insertional mutagenesis have enabled the systematic interrogation of the mouse genome with the aim of creating, for the first time, a library of mutants in which every gene is disrupted. The hope is that phenotyping the mutants will reveal novel and interesting phenotypes that correlate with genes, to define the first functional map of a mammalian genome. This new milestone will have a great impact on our understanding of mammalian biology, and could significantly change the future of medical diagnosis and therapeutic development, where databases can be queried in silico for potential drug targets or underlying genetic causes of illnesses. Emerging innovative genetic strategies, such as somatic genetics, modifier screens and humanized mice, in combination with whole-genome mutagenesis will dramatically broaden the utility of the mouse. More significantly, allowing genome-wide genetic interrogations in the laboratory, will liberate the creativity of individual investigators and transform the mouse as a model for making original discoveries and establishing novel paradigms for understanding human biology and disease.

T1  - Risks from GMOs due to horizontal gene transfer.
AN  - 69567678; 18801324
AB  - Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the stable transfer of genetic material from one organism to another without reproduction or human intervention. Transfer occurs by the passage of donor genetic material across cellular boundaries, followed by heritable incorporation to the genome of the recipient organism. In addition to conjugation, transformation and transduction, other diverse mechanisms of DNA and RNA uptake occur in nature. The genome of almost every organism reveals the footprint of many ancient HGT events. Most commonly, HGT involves the transmission of genes on viruses or mobile genetic elements. HGT first became an issue of public concern in the 1970s through the natural spread of antibiotic resistance genes amongst pathogenic bacteria, and more recently with commercial production of genetically modified (GM) crops. However, the frequency of HGT from plants to other eukaryotes or prokaryotes is extremely low. The frequency of HGT to viruses is potentially greater, but is restricted by stringent selection pressures. In most cases the occurrence of HGT from GM crops to other organisms is expected to be lower than background rates. Therefore, HGT from GM plants poses negligible risks to human health or the environment.

T1  - A plume capture technique for the remote characterization of aircraft engine emissions.
AN  - 69386053; 18678016
AB  - A technique for capturing and analyzing plumes from unmodified aircraft or other combustion sources under real world conditions is described and applied to the task of characterizing plumes from commercial aircraft during the taxiing phase of the Landing/Take-Off (LTO) cycle. The method utilizes a Plume Capture and Analysis System (PCAS) mounted in a four-wheel drive vehicle which is positioned in the airfield 60 to 180 m downwind of aircraft operations. The approach offers low test turnaround times with the ability to complete careful measurements of particle and gaseous emission factors and sequentially scanned particle size distributions without distortion due to plume concentration fluctuations. These measurements can be performed for individual aircraft movements at five minute intervals. A Plume Capture Device (PCD) collected samples of the naturally diluted plume in a 200 L conductive membrane conforming to a defined shape. Samples from over 60 aircraft movements were collected and analyzed in situ for particulate and gaseous concentrations and for particle size distribution using a Scanning Particle Mobility Sizer (SMPS). Emission factors are derived for particle number, NO(x), and PM2.5 for a widely used commercial aircraft type, Boeing 737 airframes with predominantly CFM56 class engines, during taxiing. The practical advantages of the PCAS include the capacity to perform well targeted and controlled emission factor and size distribution measurements using instrumentation with varying response times within an airport facility, in close proximity to aircraft during their normal operations.

T1  - Improving Outcomes of Forced Residential Relocation: The Development of an Australian Tenants' Spatial Decision Support System
AN  - 61683462; 200827810
AB  - The Australian public housing sector has undergone significant change in recent years. The public tenant profile has changed and public housing infrastructure has become largely unsuitable. At the same time, the Australian government has retreated from funding public housing infrastructure. The results of these changes are fewer public dwellings, fewer tenants housed and a stock mismatched to the needs of public tenants. Urban regeneration allows housing providers to trade unsuitable and run-down housing for fewer better-quality dwellings, but necessitates forced public tenant relocation. This paper explores residential choice among Australian public tenants and describes the development of a novel application of spatial technology -- a tenants' spatial decision support system (SDSS) -- to improve tenant outcomes in forced relocation. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - What Has He Got up His Sleeve? Advertising the Kenyan Presidential Candidates in 2007
AN  - 59868701; 200917408
AB  - Formal advertising played an unprecedentedly prominent part in the 2007 Kenya elections. This article offers a brief description of the media advertising campaigns of the two main contenders for the presidency, and suggests that, particularly in the case of the incumbent, this visible media campaign shared much of its message with a campaign which was pursued by leaflets, emails, text messages and in speeches, which emphasised the alleged dangers of a Raila victory.

T1  - Representation Without Intimidation: Securing Workers' Right To Choose Under The National Labor Relations Act
AN  - 59826464; 200827788
AB  - Union representation elections are often conducted in an environment of intimidation and coercion, denying employees the freedom to choose whether they wish to be represented by a union. In the United States, both unions and employers have engaged in unfair labor practices in pursuit of their own agendas-misleading employees about the consequences of choosing union representation and, in extreme cases, threatening employees with physical harm. This Policy Essay by Senator Arlen Specter and Eric Nguyen argues that current federal labor law fails to address the problem of unfair labor practices in union representation elections. It discusses how current law provides only toothless remedies that do not deter abuses, and how implementation of these limited remedies by the National Labor Relations Board is plagued by delays. The Essay then surveys the experiences of Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom to illuminate how aspects of foreign labor laws could reduce procedural delays, lead to more responsive unions, and encourage voluntary negotiation between employers and unions f implemented in the United States. The Policy Essay concludes by posing questions that Congress should address while developing new legislation to secure employees' right to choose union representation.

T1  - Developing tsunami warnings from numerical model output
AN  - 58765280; 2008-178639
AB  - A method is introduced for issuing tsunami warnings in the Australian region based on numerical model output. The method considers the maximum modelled wave amplitude within pre-defined coastal waters zones and uses this as a proxy for the potential impact on the coast. A three-level stratified warning is proposed: (1) No threat, (2) Marine threat and (3) Land threat. This method is applied to several case studies and the resulting warning characteristics are shown. While the method has its limitations, it is a significant improvement over current operational warning strategies, which are typically based solely on the magnitude of the earthquake and distance from the source.

T1  - Battle of the buzzwords: Flexibility vs. interoperability when implementing PREMIS in METS
AN  - 57674012; 200806945
AB  - The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata1 specifies the information that a repository needs to maintain for the long-term preservation of digital objects. Many institutions use the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) to implement metadata in digital library applications. Since an important goal is the exchange of objects with their associated metadata between repositories, many implementers of PREMIS are looking at METS as a container to include PREMIS metadata along with other information about and links to the digital objects. To do this, the ambiguities in using PREMIS with METS need to be clarified in a set of guidelines. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Pay for performance in Australia: Queensland's new Clinical Practice Improvement Payment
AN  - 57247149; 200819214
AB  - Following a high profile scandal relating to quality and safety of care, the health authority in the Australian state of Queensland introduced a pay for performance (P4P) component into its new hospital prospective payment system. The Clinical Practice Improvement Payment system pays hospitals for achievement of clinical process indicators. Initially the focus is on the quality of clinical processes and outcomes. Using a consensus approach involving consultation with clinicians, seven clinical indicators were adopted for 2007-2008. The first payments using pay for performance were made for work carried out up until June 2008. Although no data exist yet as to the impact of the new system, pay for performance appears to be gaining widespread, if somewhat reluctant, acceptance. Adapted from the source document.

AN  - 215367534
AB  - Gaylord comments on the positive outcome of the proposed settlement in the 2005 case of the United States of America v. National Association of Realtors (NAR). He notes that this settlement resolves Department of Justice concerns, ensuring a level playing field for brokers operating a virtual office Web site or VOW, while affirming the important principles that NAR stood up for when it set the VOW rules fiver years ago. First, the settlement affirms the rights of consumers. A newly revised VOW policy will require VOW operators to have a way for consumers to contact them to answer questions about the listings displayed on the VOW. Second, the settlement affirms the value of multiple listing services (MLSs) as a tool of broker-to-broker cooperation.

T1  - 2D numerical simulations of earthquake ground motion: examples from the Marche Region, Italy
AN  - 21322623; 11888700
AB  - A detailed numerical simulation of the ground motion and a site response analysis for two towns in the Marche Region (Treia and Cagli) is carried out on the basis of structural models deduced from available geological and geophysical data. In both cases, the reference event is an M=5.7 earthquake associated with a normal fault located beneath each town. The ground motion is computed using the 2D spectral element method (SPEM 2D). The method solves the propagation of the seismic field through complex geological structures and enables an estimate of the effects of deep crustal structure, superficial geology, and topography on ground motion. Numerical simulations of the seismic field are performed along 2D vertical planes containing the seismic source. Strong ground motion has not been yet recorded in the two towns; therefore, the numerical simulation of ground motion represents a way to overcome the lack of instrumental data. The simulations carried out for Treia show that ground motion is influenced by both source mechanism and effects due to propagation through the geological structure, while ground motion in Cagli features strong local effects, caused by the presence of alluvial deposits under a large area of the town.

T1  - Protection of grapevine pruning wounds from infection by Eutypa lata
AN  - 21213185; 11159935
AB  - Background and Aims: Eutypa dieback is a major threat to the sustainability and productivity of the viticulture industry worldwide. The fungicide benomyl has been the most effective treatment to protect wounds against infection by ascospores of Eutypa lata and to control eutypa dieback. However, because of the withdrawal of benomyl from the market, there is a need to develop alternatives to protect pruning wounds. Methods and Results: Twenty-five compounds were evaluated in laboratory experiments and field trials. A selection of the compounds effective at inhibiting germination and/or mycelial growth in the laboratory were further evaluated in the field. Of the 15 fungicides tested, carbendazim was the most effective in reducing colonisation of pruning wounds by E. lata in the field. Other fungicides, including fluazinam, pyrimethanil and pyraclostrobin, reduced colonisation of wounds by E. lata but require further evaluation at higher concentrations. Physical barriers such as acrylic paint (with or without fungicides) and a commercial tree wound paste formulated with fungicides (Garrison) also protected pruning wounds from infection by E. lata. Conclusions: Fungicides and physical barriers have been identified for the control of eutypa dieback in grapevines. The registration of Bavistin (carbendazim) and Garrison is being sought for use on pruning wounds on grapevines in Australia. Significance of the Study: Protection of pruning wounds is essential for the management of eutypa dieback in grapevines. Identification of alternative methods for disease control will provide significant economic benefits for the grapegrowing industry.

T1  - A preliminary investigation of the effect of repeated pedestrian approaches to Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii)
AN  - 21023895; 8291725
AB  - Repeated exposure to human activity can change the behavioural response of wildlife, having implications for management. Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) breeding close to Antarctic research stations are easily accessible and regularly visited by people. To investigate the responses of Weddell seals to repeated pedestrian approaches, we tested the effect of regular visitation over a short-time period (<2h) on the behaviour of lactating seals. Seals showed evidence of rapid habituation, as assessed by the higher proportion of seals that responded, with 67% looking up during the first approach compared to 18% during the 10th approach (R super(2)=0.398, P=0.050), and by a decrease in the time spent looking at the approacher with repeated exposure ( gamma sub(9) super(2)=36.078, P<0.001). The effect of irregular pedestrian activity over a long-time period (approximately 3 weeks) was also examined, with results suggesting that such activity did not result in habituation, rather, adult female seals appeared to become sensitised to people (the majority of seals in both colonies looked up G sub(1)=0.027, P=0.870). Weddell seal pups observed during the same experiment also failed to display signs of habituation to irregular pedestrian activity, with 47% of pups looking up in the colony subjected to pedestrian activity compared to 10% in the control colony (G sub(1)=5.811, P=0.016). The implications of these results for managing human activity around breeding Weddell seals are discussed.

T1  - Impaired plasma clottability induction through fibrinogen degradation by ASP, a serine protease released from Aeromonas sobria
AN  - 20912089; 8385185
AB  - Aeromonas sobria infection often advances to sepsis, in which interaction of bacterial components with plasma proteins possibly causes various disorders. This bacterium releases a serine protease (ASP), a putative virulence factor, and binds to fibrinogen. To study the ASP effect on fibrinogen, we incubated fibrinogen or plasma with ASP and investigated their clotting elicited by thrombin, which converts fibrinogen to a fibrin clot. Enzymatically active ASP retarded plasma clotting in a dose-dependent manner starting at an ASP concentration of 10nM. ASP also retarded fibrinogen clotting at 3nM and above, which appeared to correspond to ASP cleavage of fibrinogen at the Aa-chain. Consistent with containing serine protease activity for an ASP-specific substrate, the culture supernatant of an ASP gene-introduced strain retarded plasma and fibrinogen clotting more than that of the wild-type strain. The culture supernatant of an ASP gene-disrupted strain that releases negligible serine protease activity for the ASP-specific substrate did not affect plasma clotting. These results indicate that ASP is the main fibrinogenolytic protease released from A. sobria. Impaired plasma clottability induction through fibrinogen degradation is a new virulence activity of ASP and may contribute to hemorrhagic tendencies in sepsis caused by infection with this bacterium.

T1  - Microbial signature lipid profiling and exopolysaccharides: Experiences initiated with Professor David C White and transported to Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 20894131; 8258136
AB  - Developments and applications with signature lipid and exopolysaccharide (EPS) methodologies covering a thirty year period in the DC White laboratories at Florida State University and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville are illustrated. These powerful techniques were used to gain new insight into microbial communities, not obtainable by classical approaches. Selected case examples are highlighted and include: use of a specific dimethyl disulphide (DMDS) derivitization procedure with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) to precisely determine double bond position and geometry; application of the DMDS procedure in taxonomic and environmental studies including the degradation of pollutant halogenated hydrocarbons in groundwater and subsurface aquifers; exploiting the ubiquitous nature of uronic acids in microbial EPS to quantify these exopolymers in complex environmental samples; development of rapid and non-destructive approaches including FT-IR to follow biofilm formation in a unique manner not possible with other approaches. The foundations laid in the DC White laboratories have seen a wide suite of applications in modern microbial ecology and associated fields. The training of young scientists by DC White will also ensure that his unique approach and quest for new and or novel methodologies for use in environmental microbiology will continue.

T1  - Cold Stratification Requirements for Germination of Alliaria petiolata
AN  - 20742991; 8705820
AB  - Garlic mustard is among the most important invasive weeds of North American eastern deciduous forests. Investigations of the mechanisms that enable its success as an invader require a simple method to propagate this weed in the laboratory and the greenhouse; we develop such a method in this study. Cold treatment (24-h dark cycle; maximum 6 C, minimum -1 C) for at least 100 d on a moist organic mix, followed by incubation at temperatures approximating spring (maximum 15 C, minimum 6 C), results in close to 100% germination. The information presented here will be valuable in studies requiring a steady supply of garlic mustard plants for experimentation and for the mass rearing of biological control agents. Nomenclature: Garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata (M. Bieb.) Cavara & Grande.

T1  - Correlation of paired plasma and saliva paracetamol levels following deliberate self-poisoning with paracetamol (The Salivary Paracetamol In Toxicology [SPIT] study)
AN  - 20233072; 8373427
AB  - Aim. To determine the correlation between plasma and saliva paracetamol levels following paracetamol deliberate self-poisoning. Methods. Paired plasma and saliva paracetamol levels were measured. Saliva analysis was performed contemporaneously using a colorimetric method. Results. 21 patients (76% female) mean age 28.3 plus or minus 12.9 years (range 15-55) were enrolled. Mean reported paracetamol ingestion was 10.3 g (range 2-20 g). Specimens were collected at a mean of 6.2 plus or minus 3.1 hours post-ingestion (range 4-13 hours) and mean plasma and saliva paracetamol levels were 48 mg/L and 62 mg/L respectively (mean difference 14; 95% CI 5-22; p < 0.004); Pearson's correlation r = 0.95 (p < 0.0001). No patient needing treatment would have been missed using saliva levels only. Conclusion. There is concordance between the indications for treatment of paracetamol deliberate self-poisoning based on plasma and saliva paracetamol levels. Saliva paracetamol levels are typically higher than plasma levels. Further studies involving larger numbers of patients, comparing plasma and saliva paracetamol levels in patients with potentially toxic plasma paracetamol concentrations, would be useful in determining the potential clinical value of this method.

We studied the microbial ecology of the nitrogen cycle using bacterial genes involved in nitrification (amoA), denitrification (napA) and nitrogen fixation (nifH) from areas with highly contrasting soils, climates and land management practices within Australia. Agricultural soils had greater frequency of occurrence of nitrogen cycling genes compared with areas of adjacent remnant native vegetation. The relative abundance of the nitrate reductase gene, napA, increased following the addition of urea to soils, indicating a pulse- response of nitrate-reducing bacteria. Laboratory perturbation of soils with highly saline water had no effect on the frequency of functional gene detection, but following perturbation of soils with antibiotics, the presence of amoA fell below detectable levels while levels of ammonia increased over time. In contrast, nifH and napA were detected in some soils for the duration of the perturbation experiments. This observed positive relationship between gene abundance and respective process rates was indicative of an active bacterial population. As such, detection and quantification of bacterial genes involved in the nitrogen cycle represents a model system for gaining insights to soil microbial diversity and ecosystem function.

T1  - Variable-density modelling of multiple-cycle aquifer storage and recovery (ASR): Importance of anisotropy and layered heterogeneity in brackish aquifers
AN  - 20039653; 8374606
AB  - Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) involves injection of freshwater into an aquifer for later removal and use. If the aquifer initially contains brackish or saline water, then the density difference between fluids can cause the injected plume to ''float'' towards the top of the aquifer. This causes saltwater to intrude the well at the bottom, meaning freshwater recovery must be terminated prematurely. This study examined the density-induced flow phenomena in hypothetical ''layer-cake'' aquifers (i.e. horizontal layers of alternating low and high permeability). Despite low ambient TDS concentration (2857mgL super(-) super(1)), density-dependent simulations resulted in lower recovery efficiencies than density-invariant simulations. However, results showed that greater permeability ratios (between high and low permeability layers) led to suppression of the vertical buoyancy flow and therefore higher recovery efficiencies. Each stratified heterogeneous aquifer was ''simplified'' to an equivalent homogeneous, anisotropic medium using the arithmetic mean for horizontal hydraulic conductivity and harmonic mean for vertical hydraulic conductivity. The results showed a very similar effect of suppressing vertical flow as was noted in the heterogeneous models. The simulated recovery efficiencies in the homogeneous cases were in excellent agreement with the explicit heterogeneous cases, with higher anisotropy ratios resulting in higher recovery efficiencies. The important conclusion is that the recovery efficiency of a simulated ASR operation is sensitive to whether or not the model considers density-induced flow and whether the aquifer is considered to be isotropic or not, but relatively insensitive to the representation of heterogeneity as either an explicit heterogeneous medium or an equivalent homogeneous (anisotropic) medium.

T1  - Low-pressure membrane filtration of secondary effluent in water reuse: Pre-treatment for fouling reduction; Low-pressure membrane filtration of secondary effluent in water reuse: Pre-treatment for fouling reduction
AN  - 19913719; 8849188
AB  - Fouling in the low-pressure membrane filtration of secondary effluent for water reuse can be severe due to the complex nature of the components in the water. Pre-filtration, coagulation and anion exchange resin were investigated as pre-treatments for reducing fouling of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes in the treatment of activated sludge-lagoon effluent. The key fouling components were determined using several analytical techniques to detect differences in the organic components between the feed and permeate. Pre-filtration (1.5 mu m) enhanced the permeate flux for MF by removing particulates, but had little effect for UF. Marked flux improvement was obtained by coagulation pre-treatment at 5 mg L super(-1) Al super(3+) with internal membrane fouling being substantially alleviated. Anion exchange resin removed >50% of effluent organic matter but did not improve the flux or reduce irreversible membrane fouling. These results, together with detailed organic compositional analyses, showed that the very high-molecular weight organic materials (40-70 kDa) comprised of hydrophilic components such as soluble microbial products, and protein- like extracellular matter were the major cause of membrane fouling.

T1  - Removal of VUV pre-treated natural organic matter by biologically activated carbon columns
AN  - 19657216; 8401491
AB  - A potential alternative water treatment process using VUV (185nm+254nm) irradiation followed by a biological treatment is described. The system uses sufficient VUV radiation (16Jcm super(-) super(2)) to significantly enhance the production of biologically degradable moieties prior to treatment with biologically activated carbon (BAC). Two similar activated carbons were used, one virgin and one taken from a water treatment plant with an established biofilm. The VUV-BAC process decreased the overall dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration of a natural water sample by 54% and 44% for the virgin carbon and previously used BAC, respectively. Furthermore, VUV-BAC treatment decreased the trihalomethane (THM) formation potential (THMFP) by 60-70% and the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potential (HAAFP) by 74%. The BAC systems effectively removed the hydrogen peroxide residual produced by VUV irradiation. Although nitrite formation can result from VUV treatment of natural organic matter (NOM), none was detected before or after BAC treatment.

T1  - Rhizobial mediation of Acacia adaptation to soil salinity: evidence of underlying trade-offs and tests of expected patterns
AN  - 19647457; 8384922
AB  - The ecological importance of host-soil symbiont associations for plant community structure and dynamics has been recently highlighted, particularly with regard to ecological and evolutionary responses along environmental gradients.We used a range of native Australian shrubby legumes (Acacia spp.) and associated root-nodule forming bacteria (rhizobia) in laboratory and glasshouse studies to investigate the ecology of Acacia-rhizobial interactions with respect to soil salinity, a major environmental stressor in many parts of the world.Analysis of laboratory growth data provided clear evidence of a trade-off in that growth rate of individual rhizobial isolates was reduced with increasing salt tolerance in culture.A large replicated glasshouse inoculation trial using 40 strains of rhizobia and nine species of Acacia that varied in their ability to grow in saline soils found strong evidence of host specificity, but neither the average growth promotion of host plants nor the specificity of growth promotion was related to salt tolerance of the isolates.In a second glasshouse experiment, we used a subset of salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant rhizobia and six Acacia species to evaluate performance and symbiotic effectiveness across different levels of soil salinity. Overall, we found no evidence of a relationship between rhizobial salt-tolerance (as measured in the laboratory) and impact on host growth performance, either in saline or non-saline soils, and there was no evidence that salt-tolerant rhizobia perform better in more saline environments.Synthesis. More salt tolerant Acacia spp. were less responsive in growth to rhizobial inoculation than salt sensitive hosts, implying that evolution towards reduced dependence on the symbiosis may facilitate adaptation to salt, raising a general question regarding the extent to which shifts in dependence on microbial symbionts underlies plant adaptation to other environmental gradients.

T1  - Possible political interference at the EPA investigated
AN  - 195923885
AB  - In particular, the EPA has recently been criticized for setting ground-level ozone limits higher than those recommended by the agency's science advisory board, and for the firing of regional administrator Mary Gade because of her request for a chemical industry cleanup of a site in Michigan found to be contaminated with dioxin.

T1  - Phytoplankton blooms in the Huon Estuary, Tasmania: top-down or bottom-up control?
AN  - 19307784; 8423063
AB  - The roles of 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' factors were investigated in terms of their influence on the diatom and dinoflagellate abundances in the microtidal, salt wedge Huon Estuary, Tasmania, Australia. Long-term (1996-2005) changes in Chl a, the peridinin:Chl a ratio and the abundance of autotrophic dinoflagellates were observed to coincide with the warming of regional surface waters. There were significant seasonal differences in pigment-specific net growth rates for Chl a, peridinin and fucoxanthin. Diatoms dominated the spring bloom when species such as Skeletonema costatum had the highest net growth rates and fucoxanthin-specific gross growth rates were 60.9 day-1 . During late summer, the peridinin-specific grazing mortality was significantly less than the fucoxanthin-specific grazing mortality and dinoflagellates increased their dominance of the phytoplankton community. This late summer relaxation of grazing pressure on dinoflagellates was associated with a decline in the overall abundance of microheterotroph (MH) grazers and a peak in the abundance, biomass and estimated grazing rates of mesozooplankton. We suggest the composition of the autumn phytoplankton community was dependent upon a trophic cascade where mesozooplankton, such as Noctiluca scintillans, preyed upon MHs and reduced their grazing upon some species of dinoflagellates.

T1  - Porous underwater chamber (PUC) for in-situ determination of nutrient and pollutant bioavailability to microorganisms
AN  - 1780517188; PQ0002827027
AB  - Physical (e.g., temperature and light) and biogeochemical (e.g., cycling) parameters are known to affect bioavailability and toxicity of nutrients and pollutants to microorganisms. A system that would allow exposure of selected microorganisms to in situ conditions could provide relevant and novel evaluations of bioavailability. A simple and low cost 37 mL porous underwater chamber (PUC), in which test microorganisms are exposed to field conditions, is presented. The PUC is a thin, acrylic cylinder with polycarbonate membranes on each side, providing an optimal (75 cm super(2)) exchange with the external solution. Regardless of the membrane pore size (0.4 and 5 mu m), the PUC required 10 h to equilibrate with the external solution, close to the theoretical time determined for the diffusion of a model compound, the Suwannee River fulvic acid. For in situ use, the PUCs can be filled with filtered water to minimize the equilibration time. The system was validated in 20 to 60 L artificial freshwater by evaluating (1) Cd bioaccumulation by the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and (2) iron bioavailability to a cyanobacterial bioreporter in comparison with conventional bottle assays. The use of the PUC resulted in no significant differences in Cd uptake fluxes or iron bioavailability. Field experiments undertaken on Lake Erie demonstrated that the PUCs could be used to evaluate the contribution of particulate iron to iron bioavailability. Because the PUCs might not correctly reflect bioavailability for substances at low concentrations with high biouptake fluxes, a critical discussion with respect on the rate-limiting steps of the device is presented. Several considerations that might facilitate the appropriate use of the PUCs are given.

T1  - Mapping Groundwater Resources of the Lower Macquarie Catchment of NSW (Australia) Using Airborne Electromagnetics
AN  - 1521413294; 8540816
AB  - This paper will describe the design and initial results of a 2007 airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey undertaken in the Lower Macquarie catchment of New South Wales, Australia. The survey was designed to investigate salinity and hydrogeological questions identified in consultation with the Central West Catchment Management Authority and state governments. Prior to flying the survey, a program of data compilation and drilling and downhole electrical induction (electrical conductivity) logging was undertaken and used to postulate quantitative geological models describing the questions and bulk electrical conductivity profiles across the study area. Bulk conductivity values through the Cainozoic regolith generally increased from south to north, with bulk conductivities in the south consistently low averaging around 50 mS/m increasing to conductivities of more than 800 mS/m in the Cainozoic sediments underlying the internationally significant Macquarie Marshes in the north. Analysis of the calculated electromagnetic responses from the geological models informed the selection of the optimum AEM system (Fugro's TEMPEST system) and the survey design more generally. Approximately 35,190 line kilometres of electromagnetic, magnetic and elevation model data were acquired providing a virtually continuous, three-dimensional dataset down to a depth of over 100 metres, over a total survey area of more than 1.3 million hectares. The availability of such detailed data has changed our understanding of the hydrogeological and salinity processes in the Lower Macquarie catchment. While much of the existing knowledge of the regional hydrogeology was confirmed, the AEM survey identified features previously unrecognized and unmapped. For example, the data revealed two major palaeochannels in the southern region of the survey at a depth of 30 to 40 m, which appear to be prior pathways for the Macquarie River. Palaeochannels for the Marthaguy Creek are also evident in the AEM data as resistive features in bulk conductivity in the 40 m to 60 m depth interval. As well providing insights into the presence of possible freshwater resources in the form of the palaeochannels, the AEM survey suggests that there is no significant groundwater feed to the Macquarie Marshes. Both of these discoveries have important implications for the management of surface and groundwater resources in the region.

T1  - Recirculating Air Filtration Significantly Reduces Exposure to Airborne Nanoparticles
AN  - 14856744; 10732614
AB  - The use of recirculating air filtration for reducing exposure to airborne nanoparticles, was analyzed. A portable condensation particle counter (CPC) was used to measure particle number concentration inside the vehicle's cabin, while it was driven through traffic. On-road tests were conducted using both cars, while driving in heavy traffic. The evolution of the particle size distribution in recalculating air for the Toyota Camry with the filter in place was investigated. Reductions in aerosol concentration in a non-ventilated room were also measured, where a silver nanoparticle aerosol generator was used to produce silver nanoparticles. The results showed that aerosol particles in cars were removed from the cabin air during recirculation by mechanisms.

T1  - The Protective Mechanism of Antioxidants in Cadmium-Induced Ototoxicity in Vitro and in Vivo
AN  - 14853693; 10732613
AB  - The protective mechanism of antioxidants in cadmium-induced ototoxicity in Vitro and in Vivo, was analyzed. Auditory brainstem response (ABR), performed under ketamine or xylazine, ketamine and sedation, was used to determine auditory threshold. Threshold was based on the visibility and reproducibility of wave III. The results showed Cd super(2+) induced cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS) gernation, the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss, and caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation, and increased the level of signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation in auditory cells. It was also found that an antioxidant counteracted orotoxicity by suppressing the activation of ERIC and caspase and preventing the destruction of the hair cell arrays in primary explants of the rat organ of Corti.

T1  - A Comparison of Particulate Matter from Biomass-Burning Rural and Non-Biomass-Burning Urban Households in Northeastern China
AN  - 14839300; 10732615
AB  - The distribution of particulate matter (PM) from biomass-burning rural and non-biomass-burning urban households in northeastern China, was analyzed. The concentration of PM was measured based on the intensity of light scattered by particles passing through an illumination chamber. The intensity was measured by a photo multiplier tube located at a 90 degree C angle to the light source and converted to pulses, which were indicated in count per minute values that were then converted to mass PM concentration. Urban outdoor levels, resulting from transportation network and growing urbanization, exceeded rural outdoor levels and urban indoor levels. The results also showed that rural kitchen PM levels had the highest recorded levels and indicated the largest variability.

T1  - Diagnostic microsatellite markers for the barley net blotch pathogens, Pyrenophora teres f. maculata and Pyrenophora teres f. teres
AN  - 1020858033; 16806157
AB  - The barley net blotch pathogen Pyrenophora teres occurs in two forms, evident as spot (P. teres f. maculata) or net (P. teres f. teres) type symptoms. The two forms can be difficult to differentiate based on disease symptoms or spore morphology. Here we report nine simple sequence repeat markers that reveal differences between the two forms, providing diagnostic markers that are potentially useful.

T1  - Biodefence in the 21st Century
AN  - 58798036; 2008-283252
AB  - Science is undergoing a revolution that will fundamentally alter global security in the 21st century. Last century, physics proved to be the defining basis for our global security, advancing developments in nuclear technology that framed the Cold War and beyond. Less than a decade into this century, however, and biology has already fully transformed our security landscape. The threats of bioterrorism and naturally occurring epidemics are already upon us, yet we remain under-resourced and fundamentally unprepared for this new challenge. This paper argues that the US and the UK must embark on a robust and comprehensive collaboration to ensure greater preparedness in the face of harm from biological resources. References.

T1  - Isolations of Cry2Ab resistance in Australian populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are allelic.
AN  - 69310099; 18613594
AB  - Alleles conferring resistance to Cry2Ab toxin occur at a frequency of 0.0033 in Australian populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and it is evident that detectable levels of resistance predated the introduction of transgenic cotton expressing this toxin. From 2002 until 2006, 10 such resistant alleles were scored. Here, we examine colonies established from five of the 10 isolates by using complementation tests to determine their genetic relationships. The results demonstrate that the resistance in each colony is due to alleles at the same locus and that for each allele the resistance is recessive. This latter finding is in conflict with the frequency of apparently resistant individuals occurring in the initial F2 tests that were used to identify alleles that confer resistance. These frequencies were variable (range 6.7-35.6%, mean 16.2%), but they generally indicated a measure of dominance (i.e., were >6.25% expected for recessive resistance). We hypothesize that this conflict is the result of differences in the genetic background of the laboratory adapted resistant colonies and the initial field isolations.

T1  - Rapid nondestructive on-site screening of methylamphetamine seizures by attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
AN  - 69215635; 18559151
AB  - The identification and quantification of illicit substances in the field is often desirable. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) has both qualitative and quantitative capabilities and field portable instruments are commercially available. Transmission infrared spectra of mixtures containing ephedrine hydrochloride, glucose, and caffeine and attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spectra of mixtures composed of methylamphetamine hydrochloride, glucose, and caffeine were used to develop principal component regression (PCR) calibration models. The root mean sum of errors of predictions (RMSEP) of all individual components in a mixture from a single measurement was <6% w/w, which reduced to approximately 3% w/w when triplicates were averaged. Sample mixing and grinding are essential to minimize the effect of heterogeneity, as deviations of up to 20% w/w were observed for single measurements of unground samples. Poor predictions of the components in a mixture occurred when samples were "contaminated" with substances not present in the calibration set, as would be expected. When only a single analyte (drug) was targeted, using a calibration set that contained both contaminated and uncontaminated samples, an RMSEP of approximately 4% w/w was achieved. The results demonstrate that ATR-FT-IR has the potential to quantify methylamphetamine samples, and possibly other licit or illicit substances, in at-seizure and on-site scenarios.

T1  - Repeated infusions of levosimendan: well tolerated and improves functional capacity in decompensated heart failure - a single-centre experience.
AN  - 69208590; 18242130
AB  - Levosimendan is a novel agent used in the treatment of patients with decompensated heart failure to enhance cardiac contractility. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that single doses of levosimendan have positive symptomatic and haemodynamic benefits, few have explored the efficacy and safety of intermittent repeated doses of levosimendan.
          In this prospective study we document our single-centre experience of repeated administration of levosimendan to patients with decompensated heart failure. Prospective data were collected and analysed with respect to New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, mean arterial pressure (MAP), brain natriuretic peptide levels (BNP) and adverse events.
          Forty-four consecutive patients with decompensated heart failure received repeated doses of levosimendan. The mean dosing interval was 66.2 (12) days. All patients had documented evidence of impaired left ventricular function, with a mean ejection fraction (EF) of 23.7% (2.2). Fifty-eight percent were NYHA class IV, mean age 50 (2.4), 82% were male. A significant drop in BNP levels and improvement in NYHA class was seen post-infusion. In general, levosimendan was well tolerated with 130 (83.5%) infusions completed without an adverse event. Twenty-five percent of patients were bridged to cardiac transplant or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) insertion. Four patients received 12 infusions, in total in the community. The majority of repeated levosimendan infusions were well tolerated, reduced BNP and improved NYHA functional class. In selected patients it can be administered in the community. Further investigation is required to assess the efficacy and safety of this approach.

T1  - Measures of radiation exposure in cardiac imaging and the impact of case complexity.
AN  - 69207736; 18242136
AB  - Although it is important for a patient's radiation related risks to be considered when recommending a cardiac imaging procedure, few clinicians appreciate the level of exposure involved. This paper provides a comprehensive set of radiation exposure metrics for common angiography procedures highlighting links to factors that influence radiation dose.
          Radiation use metrics and various clinical findings for diagnostic procedures and number of lesions treated, vessels treated and stents deployed for interventional cases were analysed. Data relating to 1088 coronary angiography (CA), 256 angioplasty and 167 CA/angioplasty procedures were examined. The median effective dose (E) (mSv) for these procedures (including inter-quartile range) were, respectively, 3.3 (2.1-5.1), 7.5 (4.5-14.1) and 11.6 (6.9-16.1). For CA, E varied with the number of vessels (p<0.01) while for angioplasty E was linked to the number of vessels (p<0.01), lesions (p<0.01) and stents (p<0.01).
          Radiation exposure metrics for common cardiac angiography imaging procedures have been documented and linked to procedure complexity. This has implications for performance monitoring when comparing radiation usage between users, facilities, times and technologies.

T1  - Orangutans, Tribes, and Nations: Degeneracy, Primordialism, and the Chain of Being
AN  - 61717742; 200904621
AB  - This article explores how early anthropological writing (1830s and 1840s) on the nation faced the question: How natural was the nation? In exploring development of the nation from the tribe, colonial ethnological writers in Southeast Asia also explored the limits of primordialism. Debates on the humanity of the orangutan represented the search for these limits. The theme of degeneracy underpinned these connections. Degeneracy was a complex belief that connected the civilized nation to the savage tribe. Two methodologies underpinned this discourse: scientific rationality and imagination. Many contemporary studies focus on how scientific rationality created distance between the colonized and the colonizer. Imagination, however, also connected the civilized to the savage. These connections occurred amid the divisions caused by colonial rationality. This was a romantic view of identity, which connected identity to nature. In doing so, a question of primordialism emerged: What were the primordial limits of the nation? Adapted from the source document.

T1  - 'Balding Nevis': Place Imperatives of an Invisible Cohort within Tasmania's Forest Communities
AN  - 61705270; 200914569
AB  - An under-recognised cohort within Tasmania's forest communities is identified, one that shares the social and cultural background of Timber Communities Australia's constituency, but holding deeply antipathetic views toward current forest regimes. Deploying ethnographic data gathered in the upper North Esk country in Tasmania's North-Eastern Tiers, where this cohort seems to predominate, the elements of a deep attachment to place are explicated: these include a desire to return to a past local economy based upon small but labour-intensive sawmills with viable satellite hamlets, and a concern for water quality, for the integrity of forest ecosystems, and for the wellbeing of individual plant and animal species therein. Overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, lacking political skills, and distressed by the dramatic economic and environmental changes within their community, this cohort is unlikely to organise politically, and is likely to remain relatively voiceless within the fraught dynamics of local politics within riven forest communities. Nevertheless, this 'third cohort' suggests wider issues for the politics of place. Its worldview constitutes a potent contemporary articulation of 'the moral economy', as described in the 1970s by E.P. Thompson, and extended to a conception of 'moral ecology' by Karl Jacoby. It also suggests, contra Doreen Massey, that the identity-based place theory of the phenomenological tradition is compatible with a conception of places as sites of conflicted meaning, and that it is wrong to assume the vector of change within place to be progressive; rather it is as likely to conduce to a loss of individual and collective agency.

T1  - The Impact of 'Work Choices' on Women in Low Paid Employment in Australia: A Qualitative Analysis
AN  - 61699048; 200823435
AB  - This article summarizes the effects of the Howard Government's 'Work Choices' amendments to the Workplace Relations Act 1996, based on qualitative analysis of its impact on 121 low paid women workers. The main effects of the regulatory changes are on job security, income, voice, working time and redundancy pay. The analysis draws attention to the nexus between protection from unfair dismissal and security of working time and employee voice: many of those interviewed in the study had lost access to protection from unfair dismissal and as a consequence could no longer effectively influence their working hours, or request flexibility. Employer prerogative was perceived to have strengthened in many of their workplaces, with consequences for the intensity of work. The analysis suggests that improvements in minimum standards and job security are vital if low paid workers like those included in the study are to exercise voice over working time and avoid significant deteriorations in their pay and conditions.

T1  - Coordinating individual and organisational responses to fraud
AN  - 61668384; 200825247
AB  - Crimes involving dishonesty, collectively known as fraud, have been estimated to cost developed nations many billions of dollars each year. The last decade has seen the creation of an extensive range of responses to this problem by government and business alike, some of which are beginning to bear fruit. But much remains to be done-particularly concerning the coordination of the many preventive and response strategies being used by public and private sector organisations. This article outlines current avenues of fraud reporting that individuals and organisations use, examines the extent of reporting, and considers the various barriers that exist to reporting fraud. The focus is primarily on Australia, although the issues have relevance to many other countries. It is argued that there are various approaches that could be developed to encourage greater reporting of fraud, and that a nationally coordinated response would assist those who make official reports, and enable information to be gathered which may assist in the development of improved fraud prevention strategies and interventions.

T1  - Revenge, Retribution, and Values: Social Attitudes and Punitive Sentencing
AN  - 59834448; 200829634
AB  - This study examined the pattern of relations between vengeance attitudes, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and social dominance orientation (SDO) using the structure of value types proposed by Schwartz (Adv Exp Soc Psychol 25:1-65, 1992). Relations between these variables and support for a variety of sentencing options, including capital punishment, were then investigated. One hundred and forty-eight students in Adelaide, South Australia, completed a Vengeance Scale (Stuckless and Goranson, J Soc Behav Pers 7:25-42, 1992), measures of RWA and SDO, the Schwartz Value Survey (1992), and a Sentencing Goals Scale. As predicted, vengeance attitudes and SDO were found to be positively related to the importance of power values and negatively related to the importance of universalism and benevolence values. Vengeance attitudes were negatively related to rehabilitation and positively related to support for retribution and incapacitation sentencing goals, while RWA was positively related to the endorsement of deterrence and incapacitation as sentencing goals. Regression analyses indicated that only RWA and vengeance attitudes were unique predictors of death penalty support. Results provide support for the suggestion that vengeance is closely associated with our notion of retributive justice. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Including Organizational Ethics in Policy Review Processes in Healthcare Institutions: A View from Canada
AN  - 58789755; 2008-207366
AB  - Whilst clinical ethics processes are an increasingly accepted part of institutional culture in healthcare, broadening the focus of these processes to include the organization as an ethical actor (organizational ethics) remains a work in progress. Drawing from our experiences as members of the Ethics Committee at the IWK Health Centre in Canada (the IWK), in this paper we focus on our experiences of moving organizational ethics from "theory to practice". We particularly address the operational and functional challenges associated with this transition in regard to the ethics committee's role in policy development and review. Even in a health centre with a relatively strong commitment to ethics and ethical practice, the inclusion of an organizational ethics perspective has challenges. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Popular news in the 21st century: Time for a new critical approach?
AN  - 58762065; 2008-172923
AB  - This article is a brief review and critique of the main scholarly approaches to thinking about popular forms of news in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, particularly in regards to broadcast television. Rather than advocating the merits of either popular or 'hard' news, it discusses the possibility of finding (or revisiting) a critical approach to popular news and current affairs journalism that charts a suitable middle ground: one that can accommodate the emergence of popular informational programs (e.g. The Awful Truth, The Daily Show) and one that moves away from the sometimes too simplistic binary discourses that have tended to become characteristic of recent debates over 'tabloidization'.

T1  - Community information literacy: developing an Australian research agenda
AN  - 57732286; 200807814
AB  - The majority of information literacy (IL) research has been conducted within the confines of educational or workplace settings. Little to no research has explored IL in community contexts. This paper will consider the current state of IL research within the community setting. The paper uses three recent IL studies as a vehicle for developing an Australian community IL research agenda. Three observations are made about community information literacy (CIL) and CIL research: (i) it is multi- and inter-disciplinary; (ii) it has a learning lens; and (iii) it has a pluralistic approach. The CIL research agenda should be seen as practical and real - it is about real people, doing real things in real life contexts. To achieve this we must bring together a research community that is ready to cross boundaries and forge relationships with other groups. In addition a coherent and structured research agenda should be established. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Better, faster, stronger: version control for everybody
AN  - 57675611; 200806007
AB  - One area of software development where an important set of previously difficult and time-consuming tools have recently become vastly easier for more people to use is version control. Version control makes it possible to make changes or to undo those changes. Most importantly, version control is easy and allows one to manage his or her work professionally. There are several well-known and widely used commercial version control systems on the market. One is called Perforce; another is called Visual Source Safe. Both are so widely used in so many ways that they are actually called software configuration management systems, and version control is just one of the many things they do. The new thing in version control is distributed version control. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Review: The birth of 'MidPLUS': Australia's new national continuing professional development program for midwives
AN  - 57306384; 200916076
AB  - The national continuing professional development (CPD) program of the Australian College of Midwives, MidPLUS, was officially launched in September 2007. In our role as program developers we were dedicated to the belief that this national CPD program would be an important step for Australian midwives, and contribute to demonstrating a commitment to providing safe and effective care for Australian women and families. This paper outlines key issues involved in providing CPD programs for professional groups and highlights how this information was used in the decision making behind the design of MidPLUS. The key operational elements of CPD programs included program design, program administration and related professional issues. Important features and functions of the MidPLUS program are highlighted and justification is given for our overall design. This information may assist midwives who are considering using the MidPLUS program and are asking the question: CPD -what does it mean for me? [Copyright Elsevier B.V.]

T1  - The influence of data-driven processing on perceptions of memory quality and intrusive symptoms in children following traumatic events
AN  - 57238901; 200820002
AB  - Ehlers and Clark [(2000). A cognitive model of post-traumatic stress disorder. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 38, 319-345] cognitive model of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been relatively untested with children. Seventy-five children (7-16 years) were interviewed within 4 weeks of an injury that led to hospital treatment to examine whether peri-traumatic processing strategies (data-driven processing and fear) were associated with perceptions of memory quality and intrusive memories. Perceptions of memory quality mediated the relationship between data-driven processing and intrusive reactions but not avoidance, arousal or depressive reactions. Finally, the relationship between peri-event fear and intrusion reactions was mediated by perceptions of memory quality even after data-driven processing was controlled. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of a cognitive developmental model of PTSD in children. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Site characterisation of a basin-scale CO sub(2) geological storage system: Gippsland Basin, southeast Australia
AN  - 21303216; 11889806
AB  - Geological storage of CO sub(2) in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Australia, is being investigated by the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) as a possible method for storing the very large volumes of CO sub(2) emissions from the nearby Latrobe Valley area. A storage capacity of about 50 million tonnes of CO sub(2) per annum for a 40-year injection period is required, which will necessitate several individual storage sites to be used both sequentially and simultaneously, but timed such that existing hydrocarbon assets will not be compromised. Detailed characterisation focussed on the Kingfish Field area as the first site to be potentially used, in the anticipation that this oil field will be depleted within the period 2015-2025. The potential injection targets are the interbedded sandstones of the Paleocene-Eocene upper Latrobe Group, regionally sealed by the Lakes Entrance Formation. The research identified several features to the offshore Gippsland Basin that make it particularly favourable for CO sub(2) storage. These include: a complex stratigraphic architecture that provides baffles which slow vertical migration and increase residual gas trapping and dissolution; non-reactive reservoir units that have high injectivity; a thin, suitably reactive, lower permeability marginal reservoir just below the regional seal providing mineral trapping; several depleted oil fields that provide storage capacity coupled with a transient production-induced flow regime that enhances containment; and long migration pathways beneath a competent regional seal. This study has shown that the Gippsland Basin has sufficient capacity to store very large volumes of CO sub(2). It may provide a solution to the problem of substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions from future coal developments in the Latrobe Valley.

T1  - Benefit cost analysis of an import access request
AN  - 21225551; 8809439
AB  - Invasive species outbreaks are often unintended side effects of trade. In this paper partial equilibrium trade models and stochastic bioeconomic impact simulation models are combined to present a benefit cost analysis template to assess market access requests. The template is used to assess the likely regional economic welfare implications of a decision by Australian biosecurity regulators to allow the Chilean table grape industry access to the national table grape market. We show that consumption benefits expected to accrue to Western Australia are exceeded by increases in likely invasive species damage resulting from grape imports, implying that insufficient consumer gains are grounds to deny market access.

T1  - The Effectiveness of a Physical Activity Intervention for Seniors
AN  - 20884016; 8380821
AB  - Purpose. To determine whether a tailored, 6-month, neighborhood-based, physical activity intervention for people aged 65 to 74 years could increase their total physical activity levels and to identify factors associated with physical activity times. Design. A longitudinal, prospective, intervention study. Setting. Perth, Western Australia. Subjects. A total of 573 older adults, recruited from 30 intervention (n = 260) and 30 control (n = 313) neighborhoods. Initial response rates were 74 % (260/352) in the intervention group and 82% (313/382) in the control group, which provided the 573 adults for participation in thestudy. A total of 413 participants (177 and 236 in the intervention and control groups, respectively) completed the program. Intervention. A neighborhood-based physical activity intervention. Measures. A self-reported questionnaire administered at three time points. Physical activity levels were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Personal and demographic information, including perceived financial struggle and proximity to friends, were collected. Analysis. Descriptive statistics, repeated measures analysis of variance, and generalized estimating equations (GEE). Results. The intervention resulted in a significant increase in total average physical activity times of 2.25 hours per week (p < .001). The GEE analysis confirmed significant increases in physical activity from baseline to midpoint (p = .002) and to postintervention (p = .031). Perception of financial struggle (p = .020) was positively associated with physical activity time spent by participants, whereas having no friends or acquaintances living nearby (p = .037) had a significant negative correlation. The main limitation of this study was the restricted duration of the intervention. Conclusion. The program was successful in increasing weekly mean time for physical activity in seniors and in identifying factors that affect their commitment to physical activities.

T1  - Finite element modelling of the effective elastic properties of partially saturated rocks
AN  - 20873695; 8287534
AB  - Simulation of effective physical properties from microtomographic 3D images of porous structures allows one to relate properties of rocks directly to their microstructure. A static FEM code has been previously used to estimate effective elastic properties of fully saturated monomineralic (quartz) rock under wet and dry conditions. We use the code to calculate elastic properties under partially saturated conditions. The numerical predictions are compared to the Gassmann theory combined with Wood's formula (GW) for a mixture of pore fluids, which is exact for a monomineralic macroscopically homogeneous porous medium. Results of the numerical simulations performed for two Boolean sphere pack distributions show significant deviation from the GW limit and depend on the spatial distribution of fluids. This is shown to be a numerical artefact caused by incomplete equilibration of fluid pressure, which is primarily due to insufficient spatial resolution. To investigate the effect of pore-size and pore geometry, we perform FEM simulations for a model with regular pore geometry, where all pore channels have the same size and shape. Accuracy of these simulations increases with the total cross-section area of the channels and the size of individual channels. For the case where the total cross-section of the channels is large enough (on the same order as total porosity), there is a minimum of 4 voxels per channel diameter required for adequate fluid pressure equilibration throughout the pore space. Increasing the spatial resolution of the digital models reduces the discrepancy between the simulations and theory, but unfortunately increases the memory and CPU requirements of the simulations.

T1  - Taxonomic revision of the marbled skink (Cyclodina oliveri, Reptilia: Scincidae) species complex, with a description of a new species
AN  - 20871647; 8400006
AB  - We have completed a taxonomic revision of the New Zealand marbled skink (Cyclodina oliveri) species complex. Morphological analyses and mitochondrial sequence data (ND2, ND4, Cy tochrome b; Total 1933 bp) are used to describe a new taxon (commonly known as the "Mokohinau" skink) and redefine C. oliveri. The morphological and molecular data indicate that C. oliveri is distributed on the Poor Knights Islands, Mercury Islands and Aldermen Islands. The new species is restricted to the Mokohinau Islands, Hen and Chickens group, Little Barrier Island and Great Barrier Island. Our data demonstrate that there is no support for the separation of the Poor Knights Islands population of C. oliveri from those on the Mercury Islands and Aldermen Islands. The genetic data indicate that C. whitakeri is part of the C. oliveri species group. Divergence time estimates indicate that the C. oliveri species complex diverged during the late-Miocene, with further divergences among island groups in C. oliveri including the origin of the new taxon during the late-Pliocene and mid-Pleistocene. We present a diagnostic key for Cyclodina.

T1  - Coupling mineral analysis with conceptual groundwater flow modelling: The source and fate of iron, aluminium and manganese in a back-barrier island
AN  - 20871593; 8295327
AB  - Mineral and aqueous geochemical data are combined with a conceptual groundwater flow model, to establish the origin and fate of iron, aluminium and manganese in the groundwater system of a small back-barrier island. The flow model domain consists of an unconfined island fresh groundwater lens overlying a semi-confined hypersaline aquifer. The two aquifers are separated by a discontinuous, clay-rich aquitard and both contain diffusion governed variable density flow fields. High concentrations of dissolved iron and manganese are associated with brackish to hypersaline groundwater, although there is no systematic relationship with salinity. Calculation of S super(2) super(-)/SO sub(4) super(2) super(-) and Fe super(2) super(+)/Fe super(3) super(+) redox couples and the results of thermodynamic modelling show that redox disequilibrium in the groundwater is widespread. Groundwater samples containing aqueous sulphide and ferric iron complexes are supersaturated with respect to pyrite, goethite and haematite but the prevailing state of redox disequilibrium controls mineral dissolution and precipitation. Aqueous iron in the deeper regions of both aquifers is derived from the dissolution of iron oxide-hydroxides in lateritic palaeosols controlled by seasonal fluctuations in groundwater redox state. Aqueous manganese is potentially derived from the dissolution of ilmenite and amorphous oxide-hydroxides. The oxidation of iron sulphides contributes to the aqueous iron concentration and sulphuric acid production in the shallow groundwater. The solubility of aluminium is also limited by this process, governed by acidity regulation. A significant proportion of aqueous iron is transmitted from the semi-confined to the overlying unconfined aquifer through discontinuities in the aquitard layer. Movement of metals in solution outside the island groundwater system is restricted by the presence of diffusion boundaries within variable density transition zones.

T1  - Monitoring wild silkmoth, Gonometa postica Walker, abundance, host plant diversity and distribution in Imba and Mumoni woodlands in Mwingi, Kenya
AN  - 20858537; 8369875
AB  - A survey of the abundance of larvae and pupae of Gonometa postica Walker and their host plants was undertaken in the long rainy season in 2006 at six sites in the Imba and Mumoni forests of Mwingi, eastern Kenya. One hundred trees of the primary host species of G. postica were sampled at each site, in addition to minor host species with G. postica pupae. The density of each tree species was calculated and the height, canopy, diameter and number of branches were measured. In order of decreasing abundance, the host plants in Imba forest were Acacia tortilis, A. elatior and A. nilotica, and in Mumoni forest, A. tortilis, A. nilotica, A. mellifera and A. brevispica. A. elatior had significantly more larvae than the other host plants in Imba. In Mumoni, A tortilis and A. mellifera had significantly more larvae, followed by A. nilotica and A. brevispica. The minor host plants harbour significantly more pupae than the major host plants in the two forests. In general, Imba had a significantly higher abundance of larvae and pupae than Mumoni. Host plant species richness did not differ between the two forests, but their evenness was significantly higher in Imba than in Mumoni.

T1  - Feeding behaviour, efficiency and food preference in yabbies Cherax destructor
AN  - 20765226; 8158850
AB  - The influence of body size on the consumption of live zooplankton (Daphnia spp.) by freshwater crayfish was examined using yabbies (Cherax destructor) ranging from 5 to 45 g. Food preference between live zooplankton and inert pellets was also assessed under experimental conditions. In experimental tanks, yabbies of four size classes ( 0.05). Capture efficiency of live Daphnia by yabbies less than 15 g was significantly lower (76%, P = 0.008) than the three larger size classes (93.6%). Yabbies less than 15 g consumed a significantly (P < 0.001) higher percentage (5.2%) of their body weight than the other size classes (1.1%, 0.8%, and 0.6%, respectively). In the presence of both live zooplankton and a pellet diet, yabbies spent significantly (P = 0.005) more time feeding on zooplankton (85%) than on inert pellets (15%). This was the first study to quantify zooplankton consumption by yabbies and the results provide insights into understanding the trophic role of freshwater crayfish in structuring zooplankton communities and the husbandry management of crayfish farming.

T1  - Temporal Patterns of Phytoplankton Assemblages, Size Spectra and Diversity During the Wane of a Phaeocystis globosa Spring Bloom in Hydrologically Contrasted Coastal Waters
AN  - 20400125; 9071841
AB  - The space-time dynamic of phytoplankton diversity and succession was investigated during the wane of a Phaeocystis globosa spring bloom in four distinct hydrological sub-systems of the eastern English Channel. Nutrients, chlorophyll-a concentrations, and phytoplankton composition, standing stocks, size spectra and diversity were monitored during three key periods in 2003: late spring, early summer and summer. Two consecutive diatom assemblages were observed, respectively dominated by: (i) small colonial species (200 km; Guinardia striata and Rhizosolenia imbricata) in May and July. This shift in diatom composition appeared to be related to the potentially limitating silicic acid in early summer. Specific phytoplankton assemblages identified in distinct water masses have evolved from a mature/senescent community towards a relatively homogeneous aestival structure of dominant species that might have been triggered by the wane of the P. globosa bloom. Our results also identified a strong heterogeneity in the distribution of secondary species between distinct water masses during the summer period, suggesting that the magnitude of the observed patterns was intrinsically related to the hydrological properties prevailing in each sub-system. The identification of distinct temporal patterns in phytoplankton species diversity and succession following the wane of a spring bloom at relatively small spatial scales (i.e. <10 km) is discussed in the framework of P. globosa blooms in particular and phytoplankton blooms in general and is suggested to have potentially strong consequences on food web dynamics and the carbon cycle in coastal ecosystems.

T1  - Targeting Appropriate Interventions to Minimize Deterioration of Drinking-water Quality in Developing Countries
AN  - 19582680; 8496809
AB  - In developing countries, it has been observed that drinking-water frequently becomes recontaminated following its collection and during storage in the home. This paper proposes a semi-quantified 'disease risk index' (DRI) designed to identify communities or households that are 'most at risk' from consuming recontaminated drinking-water. A brief review of appropriate physical and educational intervention measures is presented, and their effective use is discussed. It is concluded that incorporating a simple appraisal tool, such as the proposed DRI, into a community water-supply programme would be useful in shaping the overall strategy requiring only a minimum of organizational learning.

T1  - Response of a copper(II) and iron(III) ion-selective electrode bielectrode array in saline media
AN  - 19393784; 8687649
AB  - A bielectrode array comprising a jalpaite membrane (i.e., Ag sub(1.5)Cu sub(0.5)S) copper(II) ion-selective electrode (ISE) and chalcogenide glass membrane (i.e., Fe sub(2.5)(Se sub(60)Ge sub(28)Sb sub(12)) sub(97.5)) iron(III) ISE has been assembled by individually wiring each solid-state sensor into a single electrode body. Furthermore, a dual metal ion buffer calibration standard incorporating copper(II) and iron(III) coordinating ligands to regulate the levels of free copper(II) and iron(III) in the buffer has been developed to enable simultaneous calibration of the bielectrode ISE array. In this work, the bielectrode ISE array has been employed in the continuous flow analysis (CFA) of free copper(II) and iron(III) in seawater media. It is shown that the individual electrodes displayed Nernstian response in the metal ion buffer calibration standard over a wide dynamic range (viz., 10 super(-15) to 10 super(-5) M aCu super(2+) and 10 super(-21) to 10 super(-11) M aFe super(3+)), and the results of repetitive CFA analyses of free copper(II) and iron(III) in seawater are commensurate with the typical values found in coastal seawater samples. Clearly, the bielectrode ISE array may be used in the simultaneous analysis of free copper(II) and iron(III) in seawater without fear of cross- interference between the solid-state sensors.

T1  - Glutathione S-transferase A1 polymorphism as a risk factor for smoking-related type 2 diabetes among Japanese
AN  - 19471678; 8294177
AB  - Glutathione S-transferases protect cells against exogenous and endogenous oxidative stress. Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species and a reduction in antioxidant defenses. This study investigated whether GSTA1*A/*B and GSTP1Ile105Val polymorphisms could affect the risk for type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional case-control analysis included 468 (326 men and 142 women) Japanese participants in a health screening program. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 11.3% (63 subjects: 52 male and 11 female). The frequency of GSTA1*B allele carriers was higher in diabetes than in non-diabetes, though the difference was not statistically significant (adjusted OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 0.9-3.4). The risk among the GSTA1*B allele carriers was significantly increased by current-smoking status (adjusted OR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1-12.7; vs. never-smoking non-carriers), whereas the smoking status was not an independent risk factor. The GSTP1 genotype alone or in combination with the smoking status did not affect the risk for diabetes. This is the first report to show that the GSTA1*B allele is a potential risk factor for smoking-related type 2 diabetes.

T1  - Zinc incorporation in the otoliths of juvenile pink snapper (Pagrus auratus Forster): The influence of dietary versus waterborne sources
AN  - 20935999; 8294609
AB  - Separate laboratory experiments were conducted to examine if incorporation of Zn into the otoliths of juvenile pink snapper (Pagrus auratus Forster) was related to levels in the food and/or water. In the first experiment, fish were fed a regular diet (600 mg Zn kg super(-) super(1) dw, control group) or a Zn-enriched diet (6000 mg Zn kg super(-) super(1) dw or 9000 mg Zn kg super(-) super(1) dw) for 35 days. In the second experiment, fish were exposed to waterborne Zn concentrations of <0.005 approximately equal to g L super(-) super(1) (control), 50 approximately equal to g L super(-) super(1), 100 approximately equal to g L super(-) super(1) and 200 approximately equal to g L super(-) super(1) for 35 days. The sagittal otoliths were analysed using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Juvenile fish exposed to higher concentrations of waterborne Zn did not display increased Zn levels in their otoliths. However, Zn levels in the otoliths of fish consuming the Zn-enriched diet were significantly higher relative to control fish. This study clearly demonstrated that dietary Zn was the major source of Zn incorporated into the otoliths by this marine fish.

T1  - Applicability of new spin trap agent, 2-diphenylphosphinoyl-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole N-oxide, in biological system
AN  - 20817086; 8256084
AB  - Electron spin resonance using spin-trapping is a useful technique for detecting direct reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide (O2.-). However, the widely used spin trap 2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole N-oxide (DMPO) has several fundamental limitations in terms of half-life and stability. Recently, the new spin trap 2-diphenylphosphinoyl-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole N-oxide (DPhPMPO) was developed by us. We evaluated the biological applicability of DPhPMPO to analyze O2.- in both cell-free and cellular systems. DPhPMPO had a larger rate constant for O2.- and formed more stable spin adducts for O2.- than DMPO in the xanthine /xanthine oxidase (X/XO) system. In the phorbol myristate acetate-activated neutrophil system, the detection potential of DPhPMPO for O2.- was significantly higher than that of DMPO (k sub(D) sub(M) sub(P) sub(O)=13.95M super(-) super(1)s super(-) super(1), k sub(D) sub(P) sub(h) sub(P) sub(M) sub(P) sub(O)=42.4M super(-) super(1)s super(-) super(1)). These results indicated that DPhPMPO is a potentially good candidate for trapping O2.- in a biological system.

T1  - Thermal requirements, field mortality and population phenology modelling of Paropsis atomaria Olivier, an emergent pest in subtropical hardwood plantations
AN  - 20780128; 8256218
AB  - Paropsis atomaria is a recently emerged pest of eucalypt plantations in subtropical Australia. Its broad host range of at least 20 eucalypt species and wide geographical distribution provides it the potential to become a serious forestry pest both within Australia and, if accidentally introduced, overseas. Although populations of P. atomaria are genetically similar throughout its range, population dynamics differ between regions. Here, we determine temperature-dependent developmental requirements using beetles sourced from temperate and subtropical zones by calculating lower temperature thresholds, temperature-induced mortality, and day-degree requirements. We combine these data with field mortality estimates of immature life stages to produce a cohort-based model, ParopSys, using DYMEX(TM) that accurately predicts the timing, duration, and relative abundance of life stages in the field and number of generations in a spring-autumn (September-May) field season. Voltinism was identified as a seasonally plastic trait dependent upon environmental conditions, with two generations observed and predicted in the Australian Capital Territory, and up to four in Queensland. Lower temperature thresholds for development ranged between 4 and 9@uoC, and overall development rates did not differ according to beetle origin. Total immature development time (egg-adult) was approximately 769.2+/-S.E. 127.8DD above a lower temperature threshold of 6.4+/-S.E. 2.6@uoC. ParopSys provides a basic tool enabling forest managers to use the number of generations and seasonal fluctuations in abundance of damaging life stages to estimate the pest risk of P. atomaria prior to plantation establishment, and predict the occurrence and duration of damaging life stages in the field. Additionally, by using local climatic data the pest potential of P. atomaria can be estimated to predict the risk of it establishing if accidentally introduced overseas. Improvements to ParopSys' capability and complexity can be made as more biological data become available.

T1  - Investigating factors related to the effects of time-out on stuttering in adults.
AN  - 85410762; pmid-18446575
AB  - Response-contingent time-out has been shown to be an effective technique for enhancing fluency in people who stutter. However, the factors that determine individual responsiveness to time-out are not well understood.The study investigated the effectiveness of using response-contingent time-out to reduce stuttering frequency in adults who stutter. In addition, it investigated the predictive value of participants' stutter severity, age, previous treatment history, and type of stutter on the responsiveness to time-out conditioning.Sixty people who stutter participated in the study. Half were exposed to time-out following each moment of stuttering over a 40-min period, the remaining participants acted as controls.Results showed that individuals who stutter are highly responsive to time-out, and that the participants with a more severe stutter responded better than those with a mild stutter. To a lesser degree, previous treatment and speech rate also influenced treatment success. Age and type of stutter did not, although the proportion of repetition types of stutters increased over the experiment conditions, with prolongations and blocks decreasing, for the treatment group.This simple operant conditioning treatment method is effective in reducing stuttering. Individuals respond to time-out regardless of their age, type of stutter, stuttering severity or treatment history, thus it is a treatment methodology potentially suitable for all clients. This study investigated initial responsiveness to time-out; therefore, further research is necessary to determine the durability of fluency over time.

T1  - Does subepithelial hemorrhage cause persistence of laryngeal granuloma?
AN  - 85399117; pmid-18197133
AB  - To determine the incidence of black spots after resolution of laryngeal granuloma (LG), to compare the disease duration from the beginning of treatment to resolution between patients with and without black spots, and to assess the histologic findings of LG in resected or biopsied specimens.Retrospective.Forty-six patients with LG on the cartilaginous portion of the vocal fold were included. Their clinical records were reviewed. Histologic specimens were re-examined.Causes of LG were postintubation in 10 patients, unilateral vocal fold immobility in 1, Candida infection in 1, and were not specified in 34 (either hyperfunctional vocal abuse, laryngopharyngeal regurgitation, or both). Of the 10 patients with postintubation LG, 9 resolved; of the 33 patients with LG from other causes, 21 resolved. Of the 28 resolved patients, 12 developed a black spot at the previous lesion site. Of the 18 patients whose LG resolved without surgical intervention, 11 developed a black spot at the previous lesion site, and the remaining 7 patients did not develop any black spots. The treatment period until LG resolution was significantly longer among patients with a black spot than those without a spot (P = .0372). Histologic examination revealed the presence of hemosiderin accumulation accompanied by infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages in 8 of the 16 patients who had their LGs resected or biopsied.Accumulation of hemosiderin in the subepithelial layer, together with little blood flow and dense connective tissue in the cartilaginous portion of the vocal fold, are important factors contributing to the persistence of LG.

T1  - Thinking activates EMG in scalp electrical recordings.
AN  - 70487776; 18329954
AB  - Fast electrical rhythms in the gamma range (30-100Hz) in scalp (but not intracranial) recordings are predominantly due to electromyographic (EMG) activity. We hypothesized that increased EMG activity would be augmented by mental tasks in proportion to task difficulty and the requirement of these tasks for motor or visuo-motor output.
          EEG was recorded in 98 subjects whilst performing cognitive tasks and analysed to generate power spectra. In four other subjects, neuromuscular blockade was achieved pharmacologically providing EMG-free spectra of EEG at rest and during mental tasks.
          In comparison to the paralysed condition, power of scalp electrical recordings in the gamma range varied in distribution, being maximal adjacent to cranial or cervical musculature. There were non-significant changes in mean gamma range activity due to mental tasks in paralysed subjects. In normal subjects, increases in scalp electrical activity were observed during tasks, without relationship to task difficulty, but with tasks involving limb- or eye-movement having higher power. Electrical rhythms in the gamma frequency range recorded from the scalp are inducible by mental activity and are largely due to EMG un-related to cognitive effort. EMG varies with requirements for somatic or ocular movement more than task difficulty.
          Severe restrictions exist on utilizing scalp recordings for high frequency EEG.

T1  - Dioxins, PCBs, metals, metalloids, pesticides and antimicrobial residues in wild and farmed Australian southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii).
AN  - 69156488; 18395242
AB  - Data concerning the concentration of dioxins (PCDD/PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), metals, metalloids, pesticides and antimicrobials residues are reported for the edible portion of Australian wild and farmed southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii). In 2004 wild caught (n=5) and farmed (n=26) southern bluefin tuna (SBT) were collected. The mean concentration of total mercury on a fresh weight (fw) basis was 0.34 mg/kg in wild SBT and 0.31 mg/kg in farmed SBT. Concentrations of dioxins (PCDD/PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in wild SBT were extremely low. The mean concentration (fw) of the sum of PCDD/PCDFs and the dioxin-like PCBs was 0.27 pg TEQ/g in wild SBT and 0.61 pg TEQ/g in farmed SBT. Mean PCB total concentration (fw basis) was 0.47 ng/g in wild SBT and 6.60 ng/g in farmed SBT. No detectable residues of any pesticide or antimicrobial compounds were found. All residues detected were within regulatory limits set by the Japanese Competent Authority, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) and the Australian Competent Authority, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). The need for harmonisation of international product integrity procedures for bluefin tunas in international trade is highlighted.

T1  - The Effect of Thin Ideal Media Images on Women's Self-Objectification, Mood, and Body Image
AN  - 61679650; 200820697
AB  - Objectification theory (Fredrickson and Roberts, Psychology of Women Quarterly, 21, 173-206, 1997) contends that experiences of sexual objectification socialize women to engage in self-objectification. The present study used an experimental design to examine the effects of media images on self-objectification. A total of 90 Australian undergraduate women aged 18 to 35 were randomly allocated to view magazine advertisements featuring a thin woman, advertisements featuring a thin woman with at least one attractive man, or advertisements in which no people were featured. Participants who viewed advertisements featuring a thin-idealized woman reported greater state self-objectification, weight-related appearance anxiety, negative mood, and body dissatisfaction than participants who viewed product control advertisements. The results demonstrate that self-objectification can be stimulated in women without explicitly focusing attention on their own bodies. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - How Parenthood Experiences Influence Desire For More Children In Australia: A Qualitative Study
AN  - 61670464; 200834722
AB  - The low-fertility debate in developed countries has focused on the limits to family size posed by the financial costs of raising children, and difficulties combining work and family. Little attention has been given to the physical and socio-psychological experiences of conception, pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, and their potential effect on parity progression. Women's rising education and workforce participation rates are often seen as key factors in fertility decline, offering attractive alternatives to motherhood, but research suggests that they also undermine levels of knowledge, confidence and interest in motherhood. Demographers have made almost no link between people having fewer children than they might otherwise have had and their previous child-bearing and childrearing experiences. Interviews conducted in South Australia in 2003-04 with parents of both small and large families show that fertility and family size are influenced both negatively and positively by experiences of having had children. The paper argues that if low fertility rates are to be stabilized or raised in developed countries, then researchers and policymakers must consider the physical and socio-psychological costs of having children for parents, and provide support mechanisms so that experiences of parenthood contribute as little as possible to fertility gaps and delayed fertility.

T1  - Commentary: Mandated reporting is still a policy with reason: Empirical evidence and philosophical grounds
AN  - 61416258; 200805940
AB  - A major criticism of mandated reporting laws is that they produce many unsubstantiated reports, increasing workload for child protective services, wasting resources, & reducing the quality of service given to known deserving children & families (Ainsworth, 2002). Some critics go further: Melton (2005) claimed mandated reporting is now "a policy without reason." Melton stated "the primary problem is no longer case-finding" (2005, p. 10), & argued that "common sense & empirical research" show mandated reporting is "a bankrupt policy" (2005, p. 15). Further, Melton proposed thatjurisdictions with these laws should revise their systems "to facilitate voluntary assistance to children & families-to create or sustain the norms of caring that prevent harm to children" (2005, p. 15), & urged countries without a US-type system to adopt another model. However, we argue that without a system of mandated reporting, a society will be far less able to protect children & assist parents & families, because many cases of abuse & neglect will not come to the attention of authorities & helping agencies. We accept that mandated reporting schemes are imperfect. But, using child safety as the primary concern, & drawing on evidence from several nations, we argue that a child protection system needs a form of case identification beyond voluntary help-seeking; that mandated reporting produces a large number of substantiated reports & to sacrifice this compromises child protection; that the most serious problems in systems having mandated reporting appear to lie not with the reports, but with responses; & that the economic & social justice advantages of mandated reporting far outweigh any disadvantages.

T1  - Work-Life Policies for the Twenty-First Century Economy
AN  - 58828729; 2008-396495
AB  - The U.S. economy, workplace, workforce, and labor market have changed radically in the last 50 years, yet our public and private policies have not kept up with these changes. In recent years, policymakers have begun considering new options for allowing workers to meet the often-conflicting demands of work and other life obligations. These proposals include a variety of options for time off from work -- both paid and unpaid -- and more flexibility in the workplace. In this report, we review the evidence regarding work-life conflicts, the economic case for policy initiatives, and evidence of effectiveness of the policy options. We provide a clear explanation of these policy options and make recommendations for decision-makers. Tables, References.

T1  - Gas exchange between plant canopies and the atmosphere: Case-studies for ammonia
AN  - 20695190; 8185705
AB  - We first present the elements of an inverse Lagrangian model of gas transport in plant canopies. The model allows the inference of sites of gas exchange in the canopy and their source and sink strengths from measured profiles of mean gas concentration and statistics of the canopy turbulence. The practical application of the model is demonstrated through a case study of the fate of ammonia volatilized from fertilizer applied to the floor of a sugarcane crop. Some of the lost ammonia was absorbed by the foliage of the crop; the rest was lost to the atmosphere above. While there was excellent agreement between model predictions of the net flux from the canopy and independent micrometeorological measurements of ammonia flux in the air-layer above it, verification of flux predictions within the canopy was much more difficult. Appeal was made to a process-based model of canopy gas exchange that describes gas transport to and from foliage surfaces in terms of diffusion across aerodynamic, boundary-layer and stomatal resistances in response to a difference in ammonia concentration between the air and leaf sub-stomatal cavities. There was acceptable agreement between the two models in their predictions of foliage ammonia uptake. Next, we apply the process model to a study of the recapture of volatilized ammonia by sugarcane crops with different leaf area indices (LAI). The study indicated recoveries increasing almost linearly with LAI and suggested probable recoveries in excess of 20% for canopies with LAIs of 2 or more. These and other published studies of ammonia exchange between canopy and atmosphere that employed both the inverse Lagrangian and process models suggest that their coupling provides a powerful tool for studying canopy gas exchange.

T1  - Complex Copulatory Behavior and the Proximate Effect of Genital and Body Size Differences on Mechanical Reproductive Isolation in the Millipede Genus Parafontaria
AN  - 20665305; 8198310
AB  - The role of species-specific genitalia in reproductive isolation is unclear. Males of the millipede genus Parafontaria use gonopods (modified eighth legs) charged with sperm from the genital openings of the second legs as intromittent organs. Males perform both preliminary and true intromission during mating. During preliminary intromission, a male attempts to insert his gonopods into the female genitalia before charging the gonopods with sperm. If this intromission is completed, it is followed by the ejaculation of sperm to the gonopods and true intromission for insemination. In two sympatric species of Parafontaria that lack effective precopulatory isolation, copulation was terminated without insemination because of preliminary intromission failure caused by mismatched genital and body sizes. Thus, mechanical isolation between these sympatric species resulted from morphological differentiation mediated by the obligatory preliminary intromission. These findings demonstrate the proximate importance of genital and body size differences for reproductive isolation within this genus of millipede.

T1  - Abundance and carbon isotopic composition of neo-pentane in Australian natural gases
AN  - 20047579; 8752869
AB  - Here we report the abundance and carbon isotopic composition of neo- pentane (or 2,2-dimethylpropane) in Australian natural gases derived from source rocks of Late Proterozoic to Early Tertiary age. In Australian natural gases, neo-pentane abundance is low, ranging from 6 to 295 ppm. The delta super(13)C sub(neo)-pentane shows a strong source control and, together with the other gaseous hydrocarbons, a maturity effect, albeit less pronounced than the source effect. In severely biodegraded natural gases, neo- pentane abundance is similar to that in non-biodegraded gases as a result of a counter balance between preservation of neo-pentane relative to other wet gases and the addition of biogenic methane. Nevertheless, neo-pentane can become the most abundant pentane isomer with neo-pentane/(iso- + n-pentane) ratios up to 9.9. Here, the delta super(13)C sub(neo)-pentane is identical between biodegraded and non-biodegraded natural gas from the same source, providing strong evidence that neo-pentane is resistant to biodegradation, even within severely biodegraded gases where the carbon isotopic composition of all the other gaseous hydrocarbons has been altered. The carbon isotopic composition of neo-pentane ranges from delta super(13)C - 50.8 to -24.4ppt VPDB and is typically isotopically more depleted in super(13)C (up to 9.7ppt) than iso-pentane and n-pentane. This wide carbon isotopic variability between the pentane isomers most likely results from the interplay between decomposition, isomerisation and methylation mechanisms for neo-pentane formation. In biodegraded gases the iso-pentane and n-pentane become progressively enriched in super(13)C, resulting in much larger isotopic differences ( Delta delta super(13)C sub(neo)-pentane-iso-pentane values of up to -16.6ppt). In this paper we show how the carbon isotopic composition of neo-pentane is related to source rock type and age, and demonstrate the usefulness of neo-pentane in gas-gas correlation, particularly in biodegraded accumulations.

T1  - Delineating Slowly and Rapidly Evolving Fractions of the Drosophila Genome
AN  - 19531058; 8234232
AB  - Evolutionary conservation is an important indicator of function and a major component of bioinformatic methods to identify non-protein-coding genes. We present a new Bayesian method for segmenting pairwise alignments of eukaryotic genomes while simultaneously classifying segments into slowly and rapidly evolving fractions. We also describe an information criterion similar to the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for determining the number of classes. Working with pairwise alignments enables detection of differences in conservation patterns among closely related species. We analyzed three whole-genome and three partial-genome pairwise alignments among eight Drosophila species. Three distinct classes of conservation level were detected. Sequences comprising the most slowly evolving component were consistent across a range of species pairs, and constituted similar to 62-66% of the D. melanogaster genome. Almost all (>90%) of the aligned protein-coding sequence is in this fraction, suggesting much of it (comprising the majority of the Drosophila genome, including similar to 56% of non-protein-coding sequences) is functional. The size and content of the most rapidly evolving component was species dependent, and varied from 1.6% to 4.8%. This fraction is also enriched for protein-coding sequence (while containing significant amounts of non-protein-coding sequence), suggesting it is under positive selection. We also classified segments according to conservation and GC content simultaneously. This analysis identified numerous sub-classes of those identified on the basis of conservation alone, but was nevertheless consistent with that classification. Software, data, and results available at www.maths.qut.edu.au/ similar to keithj/. Genomic segments comprising the conservation classes available in BED format.

T1  - Rates of Shoreline Progradation during the Last 1700 Years at Beachmere, Southeastern Queensland, Australia, Based on Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dating of Beach Ridges
AN  - 19397441; 8698160
AB  - The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating method was used to determine the geochronology of seven relict beach ridges that sit immediately behind the modern beach at Beachmere, a low-energy sandy coast within Moreton Bay, Queensland. Between 2600 plus or minus 400 and 1700 plus or minus 130 years ago, the shoreline eroded and foreshore sediment was deposited over the older beach deposit. Subsequently, there was a 1500-year period of shoreline progradation: the shoreline advanced 0.16 m/y between 1700 plus or minus 130 and 1140 plus or minus 80 years ago; and 0.41 m/y between 1140 plus or minus 80 and around 200 years ago. Shortly after 690 plus or minus 60 years ago, a series of well-developed regularly spaced beach ridges gave way to an intertidal flat and then deposition of a set of lower amplitude, closely spaced beach ridges. The younger ridges were deposited between 230 plus or minus 40 and 140 plus or minus 50 years ago, at a rate of around 1.06 m/y. During the last several decades, much of the Beachmere shoreline has eroded into these younger relict ridges. Drivers of these changes in shoreline sedimentary regime are yet to be accurately determined; however, it seems likely they are related to switches that occur in the nearshore sand transport pathway. Our results demonstrate the utility of the OSL method for providing insights into coastal change that occurred in the historical and recent geological period. Better understanding the tempo of shoreline change in the recent past is particularly relevant for assessments of vulnerability to erosion of rapidly developing, low-lying sandy coasts such as northern Moreton Bay.

T1  - Plant-parasitic nematodes in Australian viticulture: key pests, current management practices and opportunities for future improvements
AN  - 1020858017; 16806204
AB  - This paper provides a brief overview of the Australian grape industry and discusses the distribution and economic importance of its main nematode pests and outlines the management practices (hot water treatment of planting material, nematode-resistant rootstocks and nematicides) that are currently used to minimise losses from nematodes. However, the main focus of the paper is the research that will be required to improve current practices for managing nematodes. Topics covered include: (i) methods of producing nematode-free planting material; (ii) breeding programs to develop rootstock material suitable for local conditions; (iii) the use of molecular-assisted selection and genetic modification to develop transgenic grapevines and rootstocks with resistance to several nematode species; (iv) options for enhancing naturally occurring biological controls; (v) the introduction of agronomic practices that improve the capacity of grapevines to withstand attack from nematodes; and (vi) the development of farming systems that improve soil physical, chemical and biological properties and enhance the suppressiveness of soil to nematodes.

T1  - A review of current knowledge on particular taxonomic features of the Australasian nematode fauna, with special emphasis on plant feeders
AN  - 1020849811; 16806208
AB  - Geographic isolation and relatively recent arrivals of agricultural materials from the rest of the world have given Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea a plant-associated nematode fauna substantially different from other countries. Although many of the major cosmopolitan species of plant-pathogenic nematodes are now present, several remain absent, particularly those with more restricted host, geographic or ecological ranges. There is a substantial indigenous plant-feeding native fauna associated with the native vegetation, but this is concentrated in a few families and genera, and few native species have become pathogenic to recently introduced commercial crops. Grasslands of both native and introduced species, as well as coastal habitats (dunes, beaches and mangroves) have been widely studied. Many plant-feeding and free-living nematodes from these habitats are from cosmopolitan taxa, but there are also endemic species and genera. Notable are the many species from otherwise terrestrial taxa in the coastal habitats. Geographic isolation has played a substantial role in evolution and radiation of many of the new taxa, as well as perhaps in the lack of many plant-parasitic nematode taxa.

T1  - Growing Disparities in Life Expectancy. Economic and Budget Issue Brief
AN  - 61964607; ED501147
AB  - In a continuation of long-term trends, life expectancy has been steadily increasing in the United States for the past several decades. Accompanying the recent increases, however, is a growing disparity in life expectancy between individuals with high and low income and between those with more and less education. The difference in life expectancy across socioeconomic groups is significantly larger now than in 1980 or 1990. A similar trend is evident in Great Britain but not in Canada, where the gap in life expectancy between high- and low-income individuals has declined. Increasing longevity, by itself, has clear implications for Social Security and Medicare expenditures. As beneficiaries live longer, they will receive benefits for a longer period, putting additional pressure on the programs' finances. The implications of a continued widening of the gap in life expectancy by socioeconomic status are clear for Social Security but less so for Medicare. For Social Security, a widening gap would worsen the long-term shortfall in financing and reduce the program's progressivity--the extent to which it redistributes resources from high-income to low-income beneficiaries on a lifetime basis. For Medicare, it is not clear whether a widening gap would exacerbate the cost increases that will result from increasing longevity. How the share of Medicare spending on low-income individuals would change depends on how the percentage change in life expectancy at age 65 compares for the various groups of beneficiaries.

T1  - Efficient adsorption of super greenhouse gas (tetrafluoromethane) in carbon nanotubes.
AN  - 70767138; 18497146
AB  - Light membranes composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can serve as efficient nanoscale vessels for encapsulation of tetrafluoromethane at 300 K and operating external pressure of 1 bar. We use grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation for modeling of CF4 encapsulation at 300 K and pressures up to 2 bar. We find that the amount of adsorbed CF4 strongly depends on the pore size in nanotubes; at 1 bar the most efficient nanotubes for volumetric storage have size R = 0.68 nm. This size corresponds to the (10,10) armchair nanotubes produced nowadays in large quantities. For mass storage (i.e., weight %) the most efficient nanotubes have size R = 1.02 nm corresponding to (15,15) armchair nanotubes. They are better adsorbents than currently used activated carbons and zeolites, reaching approximately equal to 2.4 mol kg(-1) of CF4, whereas, the best activated carbon Carbosieve G molecular sieve can adsorb 1.7 mol kg(-1) of CF4 at 300 K and 1 bar. We demonstrate that the high enthalpy of adsorption cannot be used as an only measure of storage efficiency. The optimal balance between the binding energy (i.e., enthalpy of adsorption) and space available for the accommodation of molecules (i.e., presence of inaccessible pore volume) is a key for encapsulation of van der Walls molecules. Our systematic computational study gives the clear direction in the timely problem of control emission of CF4 and other perfluorocarbons into atmosphere.

T1  - Are East Asian Companies Benefiting from Western Board Practices?
AN  - 745975433; 12666871
AB  - Since the Asian crisis, East Asian nations have strived to introduce corporate governance codes, directing companies how to best improve their corporate governance practices. However, these codes have not been universally accepted by East Asian companies. This study examines the adoption of major board-related corporate governance recommendations by large non-financial companies in seven East Asian nations and investigates whether improvements in these board governance mechanisms have been associated with increased operating performance and market value. The results indicate that family-owned companies started with worse board governance and have been least likely to improve their board governance since the crisis. Overall, bigger, faster growing, non-family-owned companies with less concentrated ownership have been more likely to improve their board governance. Splitting of the positions of Chairman and CEO, creation of audit and nomination committees and improvements in overall board governance were found to have a positive relationship with subsequent operating performance and/or market value.

T1  - The prognosis and pathogenesis of severe lupus glomerulonephritis.
AN  - 70433967; 18045825
AB  - The International Society of Nephrology/ Renal Pathology Society classification (ISN/RPS) of lupus glomerulonephritis (GN) divides diffuse GN (>/=50% involvement) into diffuse segmental (IV-S) and diffuse global GN (IV-G). This division tests whether the pathogenesis and clinical outcomes are the same as when similar patients are classified using the World Health Organization (WHO) classification into severe segmental (WHO III >/=50%) and diffuse global (WHO-IV) GN.
          Thirty-nine renal biopsies with WHO class IV and 44 with WHO III >/= 50% were reclassified using the ISN/RPS and were correlated with pathogenesis and outcome.
          There were 22 biopsies with ISN/RPS class IV-S. ISN/RPS class IV-G comprises two morphologically discrete classes of renal biopsies: 39 biopsies originally classified as WHO class IV (WHO-IV) and 22 that switched from WHO III >/=50% to ISN/RPS class IV-G (IV-Q). We will analyze IV-S, IV-Q and WHO-IV separately. WHO-IV had significantly more immune aggregate deposition than IV-S and IV-Q. WHO-IV had lower serum complements C3 (P = 0.05) and C4 (P = 0.05) than patients with IV-Q. Patients with WHO-IV had more remissions (56%) than IV-Q (23%) (P = 0.01), and stable renal function at the last follow-up was less frequent in patients with IV-Q (18%) than IV-S (50%, P = 0.05) and WHO-IV (62%, P = 0.001). Renal survival and renal survival without end-stage renal disease were different when the patients were diagnosed as WHO classes III >/=50% and IV, but the outcomes for ISN/RPS class IV-S and IV-G (WHO-IV plus IV-Q) were not different.
          WHO III >/=50% and WHO-IV lupus GN are not congruent with ISN/RPS IV-S and IV-G. The ISN/RPS minimizes pathological and outcome differences between classes IV-S and IV-G which results in the loss of informational content from the renal biopsies. ISN/RPS does not detect pathogenetic or clinical differences among patients with severe lupus GN.

T1  - Fetal thermal effects of diagnostic ultrasound.
AN  - 70420063; 18359908
AB  - Processes that can produce a biological effect with some degree of heating (ie, about 1 degrees C above the physiologic temperature) act via a thermal mechanism. Investigations with laboratory animals have documented that pulsed ultrasound can produce elevations of temperature and damage in biological tissues in vivo, particularly in the presence of bone (intracranial temperature elevation). Acoustic outputs used to induce these adverse bioeffects are within the diagnostic range, although exposure times are usually considerably longer than in clinical practice. Conditions present in early pregnancy, such as lack of perfusion, may favor bioeffects. Thermally induced teratogenesis has been shown in many animal studies, as well as several controlled human studies; however, human studies have not shown a causal relationship between diagnostic ultrasound exposure during pregnancy and adverse biological effects to the fetus. All human epidemiologic studies, however, were conducted with commercially available devices predating 1992, that is, with acoustic outputs not exceeding a spatial-peak temporal-average intensity of 94 mW/cm2. Current limits in the United States allow a spatial-peak temporal-average intensity of 720 mW/cm2 for fetal applications. The synergistic effect of a raised body temperature (febrile status) and ultrasound insonation has not been examined in depth. Available evidence, experimental or epidemiologic, is insufficient to conclude that there is a causal relationship between obstetric diagnostic ultrasound exposure and obvious adverse thermal effects to the fetus. However, very subtle effects cannot be ruled out and indicate a need for further research, although research in humans may be extremely difficult to realize.

T1  - Transfer of radiocobalt from soil to selected plant species in tropical environments.
AN  - 70418279; 17977636
AB  - Soil-to-plant transfer factors (TFs) of radiocobalt (60Co) were determined in pot experiments for leafy vegetation, root crops and rice grown in the tropical environment of Bangladesh. Soil properties were also measured to establish a relationship between these properties and TF values. Measured TF values of 60Co for leafy vegetation (average of 2.2 x 10(-2)) were slightly higher than the values obtained for root vegetation (average of 1.6 x 10(-2)). However, TF values obtained for rice (average of 1.17 x 10(-2)) were about a factor of 2 lower than the values obtained for leafy vegetation. TF values of 60Co for leafy vegetation and root crops were observed to decrease with increasing pH, exchangeable K+ and clay content in the soil, even though poor correlations were estimated statistically. No consistent relationship between the TF value for 60Co and organic matter content could be deduced. The results presented here provide a useful addition to existing databases on soil-plant transfer for 60Co, since this information is still rather sparse for tropical environments.

T1  - Fumigation of wheat using liquid ethyl formate plus methyl isothiocyanate in 50-tonne farm bins.
AN  - 69191017; 18459432
AB  - Australian Standard White wheat, Triticum aestivum L. (a marketing grade with mixed grain hardness),with a moisture content of 12.5% was fumigated with a new ethyl formate formulation (95% ethyl formate plus 5% methyl isothiocyanate) identified and developed by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization Entomology, Canberra, Australia. Wheat was fumigated with the formulation at a calculated application rate of 80 g/m3 in two 50-tonne sealed metal vertical silos located at Fisherman Islands, Queensland, Australia. Access was gained through the top of the silo where the application of the formulation was completed within a few minutes by pouring it onto the top of the wheat. After 2 h of recirculation, using a 0.5-kW fan, the in-bin concentrations of ethyl formate achieved equilibrium with a concentration variation < 7%. The ethyl formate concentration, in both silos 1 and 2, during the first day's exposure period remained above 10 g/m3. The concentration of ethyl formate by time product achieved was 790 and 650 g h/m3 in silos 1 and 2, respectively. In silo 1, the formulation was sufficient to kill all life stages of mixed age cultures of Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). In silo 2, control was 100% for R. dominica and T. castaneum and 99.4% for S. oryzae. After 5 d fumigation, the silo top-hatch was opened but no forced aeration was initiated. The in-bin concentration of ethyl formate was lower than the Australian experimental threshold limit value of 100 ppm. The ethyl formate and methyl isothiocyanate residues in the grain had declined to below the Australian experimental maximum residue limit of 0.2 and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. The workspace and environmental levels of ethyl formate and methyl isothiocyanate were less than the detection limit of 0.1 ppm. The treatment with ethyl formate formulation had no affect on the wheat germination and seed color compared with untreated controls.

T1  - Documents printed for the First Federal Congress and their importance to historical research
AN  - 57715419; 200804681
AB  - Describes the project to publish the definitive "Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, 1789-1791" and the problems discovered in locating material. This document, seventeen volumes of which have been published to date, will eventually be completed in twenty-two volumes, and conversion of the published volumes to an electronic edition is now underway at the Johns Hopkins University Press. The project's end goal is a comprehensive edition, prompting an exhaustive search for every single document relating to the work and politics of the seminal Congress. The all-encompassing, decades-long, and still-ongoing hunt for First Federal Congress (FFC) documents has been accomplished in cooperation with the staff of the "Documentary History of the Ratification of the U.S. Constitution". Vast numbers of manuscript collections known to contain documents dated between 1787 and 1791 in hundreds of repositories have been searched. In the early years the searchers also looked for documents for the "Documentary History of the First Federal Elections" and the additional volume for the revised edition of the "Records of the Federal Convention". Those two, much shorter editions were completed decades ago, but the First Federal Congress Project and the Ratification Project continue their long-term partnership that has amassed a large and revealing documentary record. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Assessing cognition in elderly patients presenting to the emergency department
AN  - 57283478; 200911989
AB  - Introduction and Background Delirium occurs frequently among elderly patients in the Emergency Department (ED), and accurate assessment is difficult without knowledge of the patient's usual cognitive functioning. This audit was designed to determine whether routine cognitive screening of elderly patients in ED could lead to early identification of delirium. Methodology An audit using the abbreviate mental test (AMT) and Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) tools assessed 28 elderly ED patients for the presence of delirium. Results Fourteen (50%) of the 28 patients had no cognitive deficit on admission. Eleven (39.3%) displayed a cognitive deficit other than delirium and three (10.7%) had delirium, but only one had been diagnosed prior to the audit. Discussion The prevalence rate of delirium in elderly ED patients was similar to those reported in the literature. The audit demonstrated the importance of cognitive assessment, as cognitive changes can be an early and sensitive indicator of physiological dysfunction. However, the AMT had limitations which inhibited its use in ED. A four question version known as the AMT4 may be more suitable. Recommendations ED nurses should routinely establish baseline cognitive functioning and assess for delirium. The AMT4 may be more suitable because of its brevity, but requires further research.

T1  - A Way to Curb Supply
AN  - 215361762
AB  - The biggest obstacle facing the real estate market today is excess inventory. The National Association of Realtors' research department estimated that as of December of last year, there was a 9.6-month supply of homes on the market. Until this inventory returns to more normal levels, home prices will continue to decline. Yet, with homeownership already falling to 68.2% in the third quarter of 2007 from the historic high of 69.2% in the second quarter of 2004 and the tightening of mortgage loan credit in response to excesses of subprime lending, it's unlikely that the homeownership rate will increase in the near future. Here, McKenzie ponders on how the excess inventory in real estate will be absorbed so that brokers can return to a healthy real estate market.

T1  - Time Tested-and Ready for Challenges
AN  - 215355431
AB  - Gaylord discusses the challenges faced by the National Association of Realtors today. Among others things, he starts with the signing of President George W. Bush of an economic stimulus package that includes long-sought increases in FHA and conforming loan limits. The higher limits will help realtors sell more homes and help consumers access affordable financing options.

T1  - Understanding global sea levels: past, present and future
AN  - 21340454; 11902036
AB  - The coastal zone has changed profoundly during the 20th century and, as a result, society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the impact of sea-level rise and variability. This demands improved understanding to facilitate appropriate planning to minimise potential losses. With this in mind, the World Climate Research Programme organised a workshop (held in June 2006) to document current understanding and to identify research and observations required to reduce current uncertainties associated with sea-level rise and variability. While sea levels have varied by over 120m during glacial/interglacial cycles, there has been little net rise over the past several millennia until the 19th century and early 20th century, when geological and tide-gauge data indicate an increase in the rate of sea-level rise. Recent satellite-altimeter data and tide-gauge data have indicated that sea levels are now rising at over 3mmyear super(-1). The major contributions to 20th and 21st century sea-level rise are thought to be a result of ocean thermal expansion and the melting of glaciers and ice caps. Ice sheets are thought to have been a minor contributor to 20th century sea-level rise, but are potentially the largest contributor in the longer term. Sea levels are currently rising at the upper limit of the projections of the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (TAR IPCC), and there is increasing concern of potentially large ice-sheet contributions during the 21st century and beyond, particularly if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. A suite of ongoing satellite and in situ observational activities need to be sustained and new activities supported. To the extent that we are able to sustain these observations, research programmes utilising the resulting data should be able to significantly improve our understanding and narrow projections of future sea-level rise and variability.

T1  - From mutations to MAGIC: resources for gene discovery, validation and delivery in crop plants
AN  - 21060788; 8600962
AB  - The dissection of gene-trait associations and its translation into practice through plant breeding is a central aspect of modern plant biology. The identification of genes underlying simply inherited traits has been very successful. However, the identification of gene-trait associations for complex (multi-genic) traits in crop plants with large, often polyploid genomes has been limited by the absence of appropriate genetic resources that allow quantitative trait loci (QTL) and causal genes to be identified and localised. There has also been a tendency for genetic resources to be developed in germplasm not directly relevant to the breeding community limiting effective implementation. In this review, we discuss approaches to mapping genes and the development of Multi-parent Advanced Generation Inter- cross (MAGIC) populations derived from breeder-relevant germplasm as a platform for a new generation of gene-trait analysis in crop species.

T1  - Using immunization delivery strategies to accelerate progress in Africa towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals
AN  - 21008212; 8554483
AB  - Integration of health services brings together common functions within and between organizations to solve common problems, developing a commitment to a shared vision and goals, and using common technologies and resources to achieve these goals. Integration has been the frustrated rally call of Primary Health Care for 30 years. This paper discusses the process of integrating child survival strategies and other heath services with immunization in Africa. Immunization is arguably the most successful health programme throughout the continent, making it the logical vehicle for add-on services. Strong health systems are the best way of delivering cost-effective child survival interventions in a most sustainable manner. But the reality in many African countries is that health systems have been weak for a number of reasons. Joining additional cost-effective child survival interventions on to immunization services may provide the needed boost. The unacceptably high childhood mortality in parts of Africa makes it the ideal location to undertake this exercise. The urgency to scale-up child survival interventions that have proven cost-effective is especially important if the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are to be met by 2015. Africa has more to loose than most in failing to scale up to meet these goals, bearing as it does the highest burden of childhood mortality in the world. But so far, prospects do not look good for achieving MDG-4 for the countries with the highest mortality rates. The timeliness of this initiative towards integration could not be better. In the last five years, countries in Africa have received massive injections of financial resources for polio eradication and measles control as well as additional funding for a range of immunization- strengthening activities and the introduction of new and under-utilized vaccines. While the data to support integration are limited, the information to hand suggests the effectiveness of the strategy. Where immunization performance is strong, immunization contacts may be excellent vehicles for additional interventions such as de-worming or Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). But where an immunization service is struggling, adding another child survival intervention on to immunization might be the straw that breaks its back. Health managers have a wide range of options for adding on to immunization services, but the best choice will depend very much on local situations.

T1  - Effect of soil biota on growth and allocation by Eucalyptus microcarpa
AN  - 20888126; 8160281
AB  - We examined growth of Eucalyptus microcarpa seedlings in soil collected from four sites in southeastern Australia, in which retired pasture land has been revegetated with mixed plantings of Eucalyptus and Acacia species. Revegetation of farm land in southeastern Australia is an area of major investment. The focus of the study was to examine the influence of soil biota on seedling growth and its possible interaction with soil enrichment from a legume (Acacia) and decomposition rates. We used a soil freezing treatment (-80 degree C for 3 days) to retard the soil biota, with the expectation that invertebrates in particular would be killed. Soil freezing did not cause a nutrient pulse, but did reduce the level of ammonium in soil. Nitrate levels increased with time in pots, regardless of the soil treatment. Decomposition rates measured using cellulose substrate were significantly reduced by the freeze treatment, but only for approximately 90 days. Eucalyptus microcarpa seedlings grown in freeze-treated soil were approximately 40% smaller (total biomass), had marginally lower LAR (leaf area ratio), and significantly lower LMA (leaf mass per area). Low LMA indicates that leaves are either thinner in cross-section or less dense. We hypothesise that both the poor growth of seedlings and production of less robust leaves are consequences of reduced availability of soil nutrients due to the diminished soil biota after freeze treatment. Litter under Acacia was richer in nitrogen than litter under Eucalyptus but there was no difference in nitrogen content of soil, and consequently no soil source effects on plant growth or decomposition. We suggest that variation in the soil biota has the potential to greatly enhance or hinder the success of revegetation on retired agricultural land, but enrichment of soil by decomposition of nitrogen rich litter in these sites requires longer than the 8-15 years since they were revegetated.

T1  - Large-scale experiment shows that nylon leaders reduce shark bycatch and benefit pelagic longline fishers
AN  - 20856295; 8287344
AB  - We assess the performance of wire leaders, which some jurisdictions have banned to reduce shark mortality from pelagic longline fishing. Experiments were conducted off northeastern Australia on commercial vessels that deployed equal numbers of wire and nylon monofilament leaders randomly along their longlines. Catch rates of several species, including sharks, were lower on nylon than on wire leaders, probably because those animals often escape by biting through the nylon leaders. High bite-off rates indicate that as many animals escape from nylon leaders as are caught on nylon leaders. The fate of escaped animals is not known, although large sharks are more likely to survive than are small animals. By contrast, catch rates of valuable bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) were higher on nylon than on wire leaders. Bigeye tuna are probably able to see wire leaders and avoid those hooks. The financial benefits of increased bigeye tuna catches outweigh the costs associated with banning wire leaders, such as increased rates of gear loss. Thus, banning wire leaders is an effective way of reducing shark catches that fishers should be keen to adopt.

T1  - Evidence for fine geographical scale heterogeneity in gene frequencies in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) from the north Indian Ocean around Sri Lanka
AN  - 20853327; 8286524
AB  - Yellowfin tuna are currently considered by the member nations of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission to constitute a single stock in the Indian Ocean due to a lack of knowledge about yellowfin tuna population structure in this region. Previous studies of Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna based on morphology and fisheries data have hinted at the presence of multiple stocks in the region, and further, that stocks may mix in the north western Indian Ocean around Sri Lanka. To better understand the genetic stock structure of yellowfin tuna in the north western Indian Ocean, we examined genetic variation in 285 yellowfin individuals collected over a period of 4 years from six fishing grounds around Sri Lanka and a single fishing ground in the Maldive Islands. We screened variation in both the mitochondrial ATPase 6 and 8 region (498bp) and three microsatellite loci. Significant genetic differentiation was detected among sites for mitochondrial DNA ( Theta sub(S) sub(T)=0.1285, P<0.001) and at two microsatellite loci (F sub(S) sub(T)=0.0164, P<0.001 and F sub(S) sub(T)=0.0064, P<0.001), while spatial analysis of molecular variance of mtDNA data identified three genetically heterogenous groups namely; western, south eastern and all remaining sites. These results suggest the possibility that genetically discrete yellowfin tuna populations may be present in the north western Indian Ocean.

T1  - Everyday Victimization of Adolescent Girls by Boys: Sexual Harassment, Bullying or Aggression?
AN  - 20835585; 8320897
AB  - School-based sexual harassment of adolescent girls by boys appears commonplace, yet aggression and bullying studies rarely yield sexualized material. This qualitative Australian study with 72 14- to 15-year-olds and 7 teachers aimed to discover whether interviewer use of neutral language in gender-segregated focus groups and interviews would yield material indicating that the victimization of girls by boys is sexualized. Verbal and indirect victimization were reported to be everyday occurrences, and almost entirely sexual. Findings are discussed in the light of definitions of sexual harassment, bullying and aggression. It is concluded that the term 'sexual bullying' appropriately captures the gendered power structure underlying these behaviors. As such, they need to be understood, and become visible, more broadly than in terms of individual pathology.

T1  - Are there any consistent predictors of invasion success?
AN  - 20659270; 8167840
AB  - This article summarises the results of 49 studies that together test the significance of 115 characteristics in 7 biological groups: birds, finfish, insects, mammals, plants, reptiles/amphibians and shellfish. Climate/habitat match, history of invasive success and number of arriving/released individuals are associated with establishment success in at least four independent data sets, both within and across biological groups, and none are contraindicated by other studies. In the introduced-invasive control group, two species level characteristics-taxon and geographic range size-were significantly associated with establishment success across two biological groups. These characteristics, however, were not supported by independent data sets, or were contraindicated by these data sets, within the biological groups examined here. In the introduced-native control group, three species level characteristics-geographic range size, leaf surface area and fertilisation system (monoecious, hermaphroditic or dioecious)-were consistently supported within plants but were either not supported by independent data sets or contraindicated by datasets within or across other biological groups. Climate/habitat match is the only characteristic that is consistently significantly associated with invasive behaviour (in this case exotic range size) across biological groups. This finding, however, is not supported by two or more independent data sets within any of the biological groups examined here. Within plants there are a suite of characteristics, predominately associated with reproduction, that are significantly associated with a range of invasion metrics, predominately abundance in the invaded range. None of these characteristics, however, are supported across any other biological groups. We note the confounding effects of phylogeny, residence time and propagule pressure and suggest that site- and taxa-specific analysis will provide further useful insights.

T1  - Autoantibody-mediated bowel and bladder dysfunction in a patient with chronic, nondiabetic neuropathy
AN  - 20645433; 9379737
AB  - Physiological techniques can be used to detect novel autoantibodies causing alteration of autonomic function after passive transfer to mice. Previously, such antibodies have been detected in patients with type I diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis, and Sjogren's syndrome. We now describe a patient with an idiopathic nondiabetic neuropathy with prominent autonomic symptoms, including bladder and bowel dysfunction. Physiological assays of whole colon and bladder were used to determine the presence in the patient serum of functional autoantibodies capable of mediating autonomic dysfunction. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) from this patient was able to disrupt bladder and bowel function on passive transfer to mice. This is a new pattern of autoantibody-mediated abnormality. Although the target antigen is unknown, it is likely to be a cell-surface receptor or ion channel. This case highlights the usefulness of passive transfer studies in detecting functional antibodies in patients with autonomic neuropathy. Muscle Nerve, 2007.

T1  - Interactive Effect of Paraoxonase-1 Q192R Polymorphism and Smoking History on the Lung Function Decline in Grain Workers
AN  - 20564132; 9272842
AB  - Purpose This retrospective longitudinal study investigated the association between the Q192R polymorphism of the high-density lipoprotein-associated multifunctional antioxidant enzyme, paraoxonase-1 (PON1), and lung function decline, while taking into account smoking history. Methods The demographic, occupational, and respiratory symptom information and lung function variables were obtained from 216 male Saskatchewan grain workers. Results An interaction between the PON1 genotypes and smoking status was observed. Current smokers with the 192R allele had a lower forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and FEV1 per forced vital capacity (FVC). The annual decline rate of FEV1/FVC in current smokers was greater among 192R allele carriers than noncarriers (0.58 ± 0.05 vs. 0.35 ± 0.04 %/yr, p < 0.0001). A similar result was observed with FEV1 (40.9 ± 6.4 vs. -33.0 ± 7.0 mL/yr, p = 0.10). The annual decline rate of FVC was not influenced by the genotypes. Conclusions These results strengthened the previous findings of our cross-sectional study, suggesting that the 192R allele may be a novel genetic risk factor for airway injury among current smokers. Key Words: Genetic Polymorphism; Lung Function Decline; Paraoxonase-1; Smoking Abbreviations: COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in the first second; FVC, forced vital capacity; PON1, paraoxonase-1; RTLF, respiratory tract lining fluid

T1  - Alkaline phosphatase and microbial inactivation by pulsed electric field in bovine milk
AN  - 19925098; 8843510
AB  - The effects of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments at field intensities of 25-37 kV cm super(- 1) and final PEF treatment temperatures of 15 degree C and 60 degree C on the inactivation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Total Plate Count (TPC), Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae counts were determined in raw skim milk. At 15 degree C, PEF treatments of 28 to 37 kV cm super(- 1) resulted in 24-42% inactivation in ALP activity and < 1 log reduction in TPC and Pseudomonas count, while the Enterobacteriaceae count was reduced by at least 2.1 log units to below the detection limit of 1 CFU mL super(- 1). PEF treatments of 25 to 35 kV cm super(- 1) at 60 degree C resulted in 29- 67% inactivation in ALP activity and up to 2.4 log reduction in TPC, while the Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae counts were reduced by at least 5.9 and 2.1 logs, respectively, to below the detection limit of 1 CFU mL super(- 1). Kinetic studies suggested that the effect of field intensity on ALP inactivation at the final PEF treatment temperature of 60 degree C was more than twice that at 15 degree C. A combined effect was observed between the field intensity and temperature in the inactivation of both ALP enzyme and the natural microbial flora in raw skim milk. Industrial relevance - Milk has been pasteurised to ensure its safety and extend its shelf life. However, the need for retaining heat-sensitive nutrient and sensory properties of milk has resulted in interest in the application of alternative technologies. The results of the current study suggest that PEF as a non-thermal process can be employed for the treatment of raw milk in mild temperature to achieve adequate safety and shelf life while preserving the heat-sensitive enzymes, nutrients and bioactive compounds.

T1  - Climate change bills advance in Senate
AN  - 195932235
AB  - (Covered sources include facilities in the electric power or industrial sectors that emit more than 10,000 carbon dioxide equivalents of greenhouse gas in any year as well as any other facility mat produces or imports chemicals whose use will emit more than 10,000 carbon dioxide equivalents of greenhouse gas, assuming no capture and permanent sequestration.) The bill would create a Climate Change Credit Corporation to auction permits and distribute the proceeds for technology development and for mitigation of climate change effects.  It would also establish a National Climate Service within NOAA and require the Secretary of Commerce to initiate programs on abrupt climate change and develop standards and measurement technologies for calculating greenhouse gas emissions.

T1  - Trade and invasive species risk mitigation: Reconciling WTO compliance with maximising the gains from trade
AN  - 19571885; 8812788
AB  - This paper analyses the issue of balancing the gains from trade with the risk of pest and disease transference. Two decision frameworks for determining whether or not to permit trade in a potentially invasive species- carrying good are presented. The first considers only the potential production losses resulting from an invasive species entering through a trade pathway, as is prescribed by WTO compliance. The second is a unilateral welfare-maximising approach which considers the consumer gains from trade, the loss of domestic producers' market share and expected damage from the invasive species. It is shown that these alternative decision frameworks can be reconciled such that they produce the same outcome regarding whether or not trade is to be permitted. The key parameters which influence these decisions are also highlighted.

T1  - Automated external defibrillators in the Australian fitness industry
AN  - 19371928; 8769081
AB  - Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs in many thousands of Australians each year. Scientific evidence shows an increased survival rate for individuals who receive electrical defibrillation in the first few minutes after SCA. In the last decade automated (rhythm-detecting) external defibrillators (AEDs) have become available that are portable and affordable. Although still relatively rare, there is still the potential that SCA may occur when a person undertakes physical activity. Consequently, health/fitness centres are increasingly recognised as higher risk sites that may benefit from placement of AEDs. There are no laws in Australia requiring health/fitness centres to install AEDs. However, several international and professional organisations have "strongly encouraged" larger centres to install AEDs. Guidelines and algorithms are presented to help estimate the risk of SCA in fitness centres. Fitness centre placement is particularly important if the clientele is older or has a 'high-risk' profile, for example, clients with cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic disease. International negligence case law and duty of care principles suggests the standard of care required in health/fitness centres may be increasing. Therefore, it may be prudent to install AEDs in larger centres and those in which higher risk groups are physically active.

AB  - "Secret" or "closed door" sessions of the House of Representatives and Senate are held periodically to discuss business, including impeachment deliberations, deemed to require confidentiality and secrecy. Authority for the two chambers to hold these sessions appears in Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution. Both the House and the Senate have supplemented this clause through rules and precedents. Although secret sessions were common in Congress's early years, they were less frequent through the 20th century. Tables.

T1  - Obama Budget Spends Too Much (Except for Its Defense Spending Cuts in a Time of War)
AN  - 58803547; 2008-283475
AB  - On February 26, 2009 President Obama released his first federal budget request, claiming a 4% increase in the base budget, which the media is falsely reporting as a 4% increase in defense spending. This article clearly shows the total defense budget is in decline starting this year; and the Congress needs to correct this travesty of cutting defense budgets in a time of war. Tables.

T1  - Lobular capillary hemangioma of the neonatal larynx.
AN  - 85399536; pmid-18347252
AB  - To describe a previously unreported condition of the neonatal larynx.Case series of 4 neonates with an uncommon laryngeal lesion.Tertiary care children's hospital.Four neonates in the first 10 days of life with stridor, hoarseness, and respiratory distress.The patients were examined using flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy, and laryngeal lesions were identified and subsequently removed using microlaryngoscopy. Photodocumentation of the lesions was performed. Microscopic evaluation of biopsy specimens by a pathologist followed.Each patient's medical record was carefully reviewed for prenatal history, birth history, neonatal history, pathologic findings, and office follow-up.All 4 neonates were delivered atraumatically and developed symptoms of upper airway obstruction within the first few minutes to days of life. Each neonate was found to have an obstructive laryngeal lesion requiring surgical intervention. No child had other congenital abnormalities or a history of obvious laryngeal trauma. Pathologic review of each laryngeal specimen revealed inflammatory lesions with characteristic features of a lobular capillary hemangioma (or a pyogenic granuloma).The diagnosis of a lobular capillary hemangioma of the larynx should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a newborn with stridor, hoarseness, or respiratory distress. The cases seem to be of congenital origin, although acquired pathogenesis cannot be ruled out. Treatment of these lesions includes microscopic surgical excision.

T1  - Radionuclides and metals in freshwater mussels of the upper South Alligator River, Australia.
AN  - 70368649; 17920735
AB  - During an inspection of the old Rockhole Mine area in Kakadu National Park in 1999, it was found that a small amount of tailings from the former South Alligator uranium (U) mill had been uncovered by wet season rain and road works. Samples of sediment, water and freshwater mussels, Velesunio angasi, were collected from the South Alligator River, near and at the confluence of Rockhole Mine Creek, and adjacent to the exposed tailings. The 228Ra/226Ra activity ratios in sediments and mussel tissue indicate a small influence from the tailings and from Rockhole Mine adit water on 226Ra concentrations. The uptake of 226Ra in mussels does not correlate with other alkaline-earth metals. Mussel U concentrations are higher immediately downstream of Rockhole Mine Creek, but there is no noticeable increase in the immediate vicinity of the tailings area. A hypothetical ingestion of 2 kg of mussels from the sites was used to estimate the committed effective dose for a 10-year-old child resulting in a figure of 0.23 mSv per annum, of this total dose, 69% is attributed to 210Po. Only 0.03 mSv per annum can be directly linked to impacts of the tailings.

T1  - Radioactive and radiogenic isotopes in sediments from Cooper Creek, Western Arnhem Land.
AN  - 70367410; 17942200
AB  - Protection of the environment post-mining is a key objective of rehabilitation, especially where runoff and erosion from rehabilitated mine sites could potentially lead to contamination of the surrounding land and watercourses. As part of an overall assessment of the success of rehabilitation at the former Nabarlek uranium (U) mine, an appraisal of stable lead (Pb) isotopes, radionuclides and trace metals within sediments and soils was conducted to determine the off site impacts from a spatial and temporal perspective. The study found localised areas on and adjacent to the site where soils had elevated levels of trace metals and radionuclides. Lead isotope ratios are highly radiogenic in some samples, indicating the presence of U-rich material. There is some indication that erosion products with more radiogenic Pb isotope ratios have deposited in sediments downstream of the former ore body. However, there is no indication that the radiogenic erosion products found on the mine site at present have significantly contaminated sediments further downstream of Cooper Creek.

T1  - Effects of early cigarette smoke exposure on early immune development and respiratory disease.
AN  - 70306318; 18280974
AB  - Exposure to tobacco constituents during early development remains a common but avoidable toxic exposure, which has been clearly linked with decreased lung growth and subsequent wheezing illness. There is also now emerging evidence that tobacco smoke can influence early immune function. This includes alterations in cytokine production by the fetoplacental unit, as detected ex vivo in cord blood, as well as in patterns of fetal mononuclear cell responses in vitro. Recent studies also suggest that the newborns of smoking mothers have altered signalling through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that are essential for innate microbial responses. This may be implicated in the increased predisposition to infection in exposed infants. TLR-mediated innate response pathways are also believed to be important in promoting regulatory pathways that inhibit allergic immune responses. However, although a number of studies have documented associations between early cigarette smoke exposure and subsequent allergic disease, this remains controversial. This review explores the consequences of smoking on these important aspects of early development, including potential mechanisms, interactions with predisposing asthma genes and a potential role in epigenetic regulation. Although parental smoking may not be the primary factor in the changing prevalence of asthma and respiratory disease, we propose that it is an important contributor, with significant potential to interact with other genetic factors and environmental risk factors to influence disease propensity.

T1  - Strain difference of cadmium accumulation by liver slices of inbred Wistar-Imamichi and Fischer 344 rats.
AN  - 70261258; 17980552
AB  - Strain difference in the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) by liver slices was examined in inbred Cd-resistant Wistar-Imamichi (WI) and Cd-sensitive Fischer 344 (F344) rats. The accumulation of Cd by liver slices of WI rats was significantly lower than that of F344 rats, suggesting strain-related differences in the transport of Cd into the liver cells of these two rat strains. In addition, a similar strain difference was observed in the accumulation of zinc (Zn) by liver slices from WI and F344 rats. Cd accumulation by F344 liver slices decreased when Zn was added to the medium in combination with Cd. Furthermore, in F344 liver slices, Zn accumulation was significantly decreased when Cd was added to the medium. These results suggest that the accumulation of Cd by the liver is probably mediated, at least in part, by Zn transport systems. However, we found no strain difference in hepatic ZnT3 or ZIP3 transcript levels between WI and F344 rats. Further work is in progress to identify the transporter that causes the strain differences in hepatic Cd accumulation seen with WI and F344 rats.

T1  - Distribution of mosquito larvae within the paddy and its implication in larvicidal application in Mwea rice irrigation scheme, Central Kenya.
AN  - 69141064; 18437812
AB  - Distribution of mosquito larvae in inundated rice fields is poorly known despite its profound implications in implementation of vector control programs. Based on oviposition behavior of gravid females and biotic and abiotic conditions of the rice field, distribution of mosquito larvae within the paddy may vary greatly. As a guide to implementation of mosquito vector control program targeting the aquatic stages in the rice fields in Mwea, studies were conducted to determine the distribution of mosquito larvae within the paddy. Twenty-eight cages measuring 50 cm3 were distributed randomly within the paddy during the transplanting stage of the rice growth cycle, and were examined twice per week up to the flowering stage to determine mosquito oviposition pattern. A total of 17,218 mosquito larvae were collected at the periphery and a further 17,570 at the center of the paddy. These comprised 7,461 larvae from the genus Anopheles and 27,327 from genus Culex. The number of pupae collected at the periphery was 1,004 and 1.5 times greater than the number collected at the center. Significantly higher counts of Anopheles larvae were collected at the center (1.00 +/- 0.11) than at the periphery (0.55 +/- 0.05) of the paddy during transplanting stage, but the difference was not significant during the tillering stage. In contrast, significantly higher numbers of Culex larvae were collected from the periphery (3.09 +/- 0.39) than at the center (2.81 +/- 0.24) of the paddy. More pupae were also collected at the center than at the periphery of the paddy. These findings indicate the distribution of Anopheles and Culex larvae in rice fields to be nonrandom; however, for successful achievement of an integrated vector control program targeting the diverse mosquito fauna occurring in rice fields, there is need to target the whole paddy for larvicidal application.

T1  - The Law Treaty Negotiation: A Presidential Monopoly?
AN  - 59822990; 200815796
AB  - In 'The Law' section of the March 2007 issue, I analyzed misconceptions by Justice George Sutherland in his decision in United States v. Curtiss-Wright (1936), where he described the president as 'sole organ' in foreign affairs. This article examines his erroneous statements about the president's authority to negotiate treaties. Sutherland stated that the president makes treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate 'but he alone negotiates. Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude; and Congress itself is powerless to invade it.' That statement was false when written, false when Sutherland served earlier as a U.S. senator from Utah, and false in contemporary times, especially in light of fast-track procedures that bring both chambers of Congress closer to the negotiation process for trade agreements. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Birth of a very low birth weight preterm infant and the intention to breastfeed 'naturally'
AN  - 57309073; 200917111
AB  - An interpretive phenomenological study involving 17 Australian parents was undertaken to explore parents' experiences of breastfeeding very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants from birth to 12 months of age. Data were collected from 45 individual interviews held with both mothers and fathers, which were then transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. From this study, the analysis identified the following themes: the intention to breastfeed naturally; breast milk as connection; the maternal role of breast milk producer; breastmilk as the object of attention; breastfeeding and parenting the hospitalised baby and the demise of breastfeeding. The discussion presented here presents the theme of the intention to breastfeed 'naturally'. This study found that all of the participant women decided to breastfeed well before the preterm birth, and despite the birth of a VLBW preterm infant continued to expect the breastfeeding experience to be normal regardless of the difference of the postpartum experience. It is without doubt that for these parents the pro-breastfeeding rhetoric is powerfully influential and thus successful in promoting breastfeeding. Furthermore, all participants expected breastfeeding to be 'natural' and satisfying. There is disparity between parents' expectations of breastfeeding 'naturally' and the commonplace reality of long-term breast expression and uncertain at-breast feeding outcomes. How the parents came to make the decision to breastfeed their unborn child - including the situations and experiences that have influenced their decision making - and how the preterm birth and the dominant cultures subsequently affected that decision will be discussed. The findings have implications for midwifery education and maternity care professionals who support parents making feeding decisions early in pregnancy and those striving to breastfeed preterm infants.

T1  - The Influence of Gaming Expenditure on Crime Rates in South Australia: A Local Area Empirical Investigation
AN  - 57300371; 200924225
AB  - Although there has been much speculation about the possible links between gambling and crime rates, relevant quantitative evidence has been practically non-existent in Australia to date. This paper reports the results of research that utilised a model designed to investigate the potential relationship between electronic gaming machine expenditures and property (income-generating) crime rates reported to police in local areas in South Australia in 2002--2003. The research found that the higher the expenditures on gaming machines in a particular local area per adult, the higher the income-generating crime rate in that area. No such relationship was found between gaming machine expenditure and non-income-generating crime rates. However, further research is required before any policy-relevant conclusions can be drawn.

T1  - Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative practices and breast feeding duration in a cohort of first-time mothers in Adelaide, Australia
AN  - 57253850; 200818150
AB  - Objective: to investigate the relationship between adherence to six of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) Ten steps to successful breast feeding and the duration of breast feeding in first-time mothers. Design a prospective study to assess the duration of breast feeding up to 6 months postpartum. Survival analysis techniques (Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard models) were used to interpret the data. Participants 317 women who had given birth to their first baby (at term) in a large teaching maternity hospital in Adelaide, South Australia, during the period March to November 2003. Findings ignoring all other factors, we found that women whose babies received a bottle feed, used a pacifier or dummy, or who used a nipple shield during their postnatal stay, were at significantly greater risk of weaning (p0.05). After adjusting for socio-demographic variables, self-efficacy, intended duration of breast feeding, and method of delivery, the results unexpectedly showed that the only significant predictor of early weaning was breast feeding on demand. However, a composite variable indicating use of one or more of nipple shields, a dummy or bottle feeds while in hospital resulted in a significantly greater risk of weaning (p=0.05). Implications for practice socio-demographic and cultural factors may be more important determinants of the duration of breast feeding than some of the very specific hospital practices targeted in the Ten steps to successful breast feeding. From a public health perspective, we may influence the duration of breast feeding through better post-discharge support services, or through interventions that improve attitudes to breast feeding in specific socio-cultural and economic groups.

T1  - The Role Of Self-Objectification In Women's Sexual Functioning
AN  - 57243464; 200815279
AB  - The study aimed to test the model proposed by objectification theory (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997) as it applies to women's sexual functioning. A sample of 116 women completed questionnaire measures of self-objectification, its proposed consequences, relationship satisfaction, and sexual functioning. In accord with the predictions of the theory, self-objectification was related to body shame and appearance anxiety, which were in turn related to self-consciousness during sexual activity and to decreased sexual functioning. Women in an exclusive relationship reported less self-consciousness during sexual activity than women not in a relationship. For the former group, satisfaction with their relationship emerged as the major predictor of sexual functioning. It was concluded that objectification theory provides a useful framework for furthering our understanding of female sexual function. Adapted from the source document.

AB  - Gaylord asserts that realtors should engage in the political process to be more effective members. He stresses that if bipartisanship is one of the keys to the association's legislative success, the other key is its members. Realtors' donations to the Realtor Political Action Committee help the association support candidates who stand with the Realtor Party. Moreover, realtors' political involvement ensures that the association's voice in Washington remains strong.

T1  - Identification of the Major Antigenic Protein of Helicobacter cinaedi and Its Immunogenicity in Humans with H. cinaedi Infections
AN  - 21500886; 12494240
AB  - Helicobacter cinaedi infection is now recognized as an increasingly important emerging disease. Its pathogenesis and epidemiological features are not fully understood, however. Here, we investigated the antigenic protein of H. cinaedi and the immunological response to it in H. cinaedi-infected patients. We constructed a genomic library of H. cinaedi from an H. cinaedi clinical isolate, and various H. cinaedi recombinant proteins were expressed. We identified the 30-kDa protein, encoded in an 822-bp H. cinaedi genome, as a major antigen, which was specifically recognized by serum from an H. cinaedi-immunized rabbit and H. cinaedi-infected patients. The gene encoding this 30-kDa antigen had high sequence similarity with genes encoding putative membrane proteins of bacteria. To evaluate whether the 30-kDa protein can be applied in serological testing for H. cinaedi infections, the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as a His-tagged fusion protein and purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. Western blot analysis revealed strong immunoreactivity of the 31-kDa fusion protein with serum antibody from patients infected with H. cinaedi, but such an immunoreaction was absent or was very weak with uninfected control serum. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using this H. cinaedi major antigen showed significantly high antibody titers for H. cinaedi-infected subjects compared with those of various control groups. We therefore conclude that the 30-kDa putative membrane protein is a major antigen of H. cinaedi and is useful for immunological and serological testing for clinical diagnosis and for further epidemiological study of H. cinaedi infection in humans.

T1  - Choosing the right plants to test: The host-specificity of Longitarsus sp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) a potential biological control agent of Heliotropium amplexicaule
AN  - 21045290; 8606421
AB  - Over the past 30 years, protocols for the selection of test plants used to determine the host range of candidate biological control agents have remained largely unchanged. Using the case of the root-feeding flea beetle, Longitarsus sp., a candidate agent for biological control of Heliotropium amplexicaule in Australia, this paper describes a "modernized" protocol, based more strongly on phylogeny, and refined by ecological and biogeographic similarities. Taxonomic nomenclature is de- emphasized in favour of strict phylogenetic relationships and the use of so- called "safeguard species" is abandoned. This is the first time that a biological control agent has been tested for host-specificity and application made for release, based solely on the new protocol, and the changes were acceptable to the regulatory organisations in Australia. The testing showed that adult feeding extended to plant species with up to five degrees of phylogenetic separation from H. amplexicaule, indicating that there would be a moderate risk that more distantly related plants suffer some feeding damage by adult Longitarsus sp. when they co-occur with infestations of the target weed that have large flea-beetle populations. Such damage would not have severe consequences for survival and reproduction of the plants. However, Longitarsus sp. was able to complete its life-cycle on plants related to the target weed by two degrees of phylogenetic separation or less, leaving indigenous Heliotropium and Tournefortia species at some risk of colonisation. While these species had different life-histories and/or only slightly overlapped with the actual and potential range of the target weed, a minority of reviewers were concerned that insufficient information was available on the dispersal abilities of Longitarsus sp. to dismiss this risk. Release was therefore not approved. While disappointing for the biological control project, the outcome was not unexpected, as the assessment was based on factors that modified the effects of host range alone. The new protocols highlighted some problems in the review process concerning an overreliance on taxonomic nomenclature as opposed to actual genetic relationships and an inadequate understanding of the nature of risk. However, they also directed attention to knowledge gaps in biogeography and agent biology that might refine the assessed risk. As such, this process can be considered an improvement in methodology. Moreover, rejection of the application to release Longitarsus sp. demonstrated that fears expressed by some researchers/regulators that the removal of "safeguard" species would somehow weaken the data and allow unsafe agents to be released were unwarranted.

T1  - Effects of temperature on energetics and the growth pattern of benthic octopuses
AN  - 20999980; 9051928
AB  - In octopus, growth trajectories have implications for survivorship, adult size and fecundity. Many species exhibit a 2-phase growth pattern starting with rapid exponential growth before shifting to a slower (commonly power) growth rate. Based on the concept that energy conservation enforces this threshold, we developed a temperature-dependent model which incorporates the energy balance between food intake and expenditure in growth and metabolism. We employed the model to investigate growth patterns occurring at different temperatures for 2 octopus species, Octopus ocellatus and O. pallidus. Model projections were consistent with laboratory data and suggest that increases in temperature as small as 1C could have a significant influence on cephalopod growth, affecting the threshold body mass by up to 15.5% and the body mass at 100 d by up to 62.6%. Sensitivity analyses suggest that threshold size is more sensitive than threshold age to any given change in parameter values, and that metabolic rate has the greatest influence on the growth threshold. This model provides a basis for predicting individual growth trajectories and consequential population structure of natural octopus populations. This type of analysis also has the potential to predict optimum conditions for a species and could be a powerful tool for predicting how climate change might affect species distribution as well as population structure and abundance.

T1  - Management of Fusarium Head Blight of Wheat and Deoxynivalenol Accumulation Using Antagonistic Microorganisms
AN  - 20962210; 8190943
AB  - Laboratory and green house studies were conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, to evaluate the efficacy of Epicoccum sp., Alternaria sp., Trichoderma sp. and Bacillus sp. in control of Fusarium head blight of wheat caused by F. graminearum. Fungicides folicur registered and copper oxychloride were used as standard checks. Laboratory assay was carried out by paired cultures and antagonism was measured as reduction in pathogen colony diameter. Green house experiments involved dual inoculation of pathogen and antagonist onto wheat ears and head blight severity and grain yield determined. Doxynivalenol content in the resulting grain was determined by competitive direct ELISA. The antagonists and fungicides significantly reduced the growth of Fusarium graminearum colonies in culture. Folicur registered and copper oxychloride completely inhibited the growth of the pathogen while Trichoderma sp. showed 64% colony growth reduction. However, the antagonists showed limited reduction in head blight severity in green house trials. Trichoderma sp. reduced head blight severity by 18% while folicur registered reduced the disease by 28%. All the antagonists had little or no significant effect on grain yield. Only folicur registered , copper oxychloride sad Alternaria sp. reduced DON in grain by 76 to 93%. Obtained results indicate that microbial antagonists may offer potential benefit in FHB management and screening of more antagonists both under controlled and field conditions is necessary.

T1  - Evolution of Virulence in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum Using Serial Passage Assays Through Susceptible Cotton
AN  - 20931182; 8071457
AB  - Fifty strains of Fusarium oxysporum, recovered from rhizosphere soil around native Gossypium species and found to be mildly virulent on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), were used to assay the propensity for evolution of virulence using serial passage assays through cotton. Only one lineage A strain, 2613, successfully completed 10 successive passages, while all others lost the ability to cause foliar disease symptoms at various stages during this process. Based on 46 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers generated with four EcoRI x MseI primer combinations, mutants were identified in offspring isolates from strain 2613 regardless of whether serial passages occurred in cotton or on water agar, suggesting the occurrence of spontaneous mutations. Significantly increased virulence was observed in the offspring isolates generated on cotton, while no increasing virulence was found in those obtained on water agar, suggesting that the evolution of virulence in F. oxysporum sp. vasinfectum is associated with the presence of cotton. No clear correlation was observed between the AFLP mutations and increased virulence in this study.

T1  - DNA barcoding Australasian chondrichthyans: results and potential uses in conservation
AN  - 20893690; 8110518
AB  - DNA barcoding - sequencing a region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (cox1) - promises a rapid and accurate means of species identification, and of any life history stage. For sharks and rays, it may offer a ready means of identifying legal or illegal shark catches, including shark fins taken for the profitable shark fin market. Here it is shown that an analysis of sequence variability in a 655 bp region of cox1 from 945 specimens of 210 chondrichthyan species from 36 families permits the discrimination of 99.0% of these species. Only the two stingarees Urolophus sufflavus and U. cruciatus could not be separated, although these could be readily distinguished from eight other congeners. The average Kimura 2 parameter distance separating individuals within species was 0.37%, and the average distance separating species within genera was 7.48%. Two specimens that clustered with congeners rather than with their identified species-cluster were noted: these could represent instances of hybridisation (although this has not be documented for chondrichthyans), misidentification or mislabelling. It is concluded that cox1 barcoding can be used to identify shark and ray species with a very high degree of accuracy. The sequence variability characteristics of individuals of five species (Aetomylaeus nichofii, Dasyatis kuhlii, Dasyatis leylandi, Himantura gerrardi and Orectolobus maculatus) were consistent with cryptic speciation, and it is suggested that these five taxa be subjected to detailed taxonomic examination to confirm or refute this suggestion. The present barcoding study holds out great hope for the ready identification of sharks, shark products and shark fins, and also highlights some taxonomic issues that need to be investigated further.

T1  - Modes of Wear After Semiconstrained Total Elbow Arthroplasty
AN  - 20885937; 8087895
AB  - BACKGROUND: Osteolysis and aseptic loosening are increasingly recognized complications of total elbow arthroplasty. However, unlike the literature on total hip and knee arthroplasty, studies describing the mechanisms of these processes after total elbow arthroplasty are sparse. METHODS: Semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty components were retrieved from sixteen elbows (fourteen patients) at either revision surgery (at a mean of five years after implantation) for mechanical failure (fifteen elbows) or postmortem examination (one elbow). In all cases, the retrieved implant was the primary implant. The patterns of damage on these components were investigated with stereomicroscopy in correlation with clinical findings, serial radiographs, and histopathological observations. RESULTS: All of the retrieved devices exhibited multiple modes of wear. Damage to the humeral and ulnar polyethylene bushings was nearly universal; twenty-seven of twenty-eight humeral bushings demonstrated asymmetrical thinning, while fifteen of sixteen ulnar bushings demonstrated elliptical plastic deformation. In addition, unintended metal-on-metal wear between bearing and nonbearing surfaces or between two nonbearing surfaces was commonly observed, typically in association with wear and deformation of the polyethylene bushings. Wear between the stem and the cement mantle was observed in most of the ulnar components. The histopathology of the periprosthetic tissues was similar in character to that observed in association with osteolysis and loosening of total hip and knee replacements, while analysis of the particulate debris revealed a preponderance of titanium alloy and polyethylene debris. Barium sulfate particles were also observed to a lesser extent. CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal wear in total elbow replacements can lead to osteolysis, aseptic loosening, and prosthetic and periprosthetic fracture necessitating revision surgery. Polyethylene wear and damage, as well as unintended metal-on-metal wear, contribute to the periprosthetic particulate burden, which is likely pathogenic in these processes.

T1  - Recovering a lost baseline: missing kelp forests from a metropolitan coast
AN  - 20865974; 8236355
AB  - There is concern about historical and continuing loss of canopy-forming algae across the world's temperate coastline. In South Australia, the sparse cover of canopy-forming algae on the Adelaide metropolitan coast has been of public concern with continuous years of anecdotal evidence culminating in 2 competing views. One view considers that current patterns existed before the onset of urbanisation, whereas the alternate view is that they developed after urbanisation. We tested hypotheses to distinguish between these 2 models, each centred on the reconstruction of historical covers of canopies on the metropolitan coast. Historically, the metropolitan sites were indistinguishable from contemporary populations of reference sites across 70 km (i.e. Gulf St. Vincent), and could also represent a random subset of exposed coastal sites across 2100 km of the greater biogeographic province. Thus there was nothing 'special' about the metropolitan sites historically, but today they stand out because they have sparser covers of canopies compared to equivalent locations and times in the gulf and the greater province. This is evidence of wholesale loss of canopy-forming algae (up to 70%) on parts of the Adelaide metropolitan coast since major urbanisation. These findings not only set a research agenda based on the magnitude of loss, but they also bring into question the logic that smaller metropolitan populations of humans create impacts that are trivial relative to that of larger metropolitan centres. Instead, we highlight a need to recognise the ecological context that makes some coastal systems more vulnerable or resistant to increasing human-domination of the world's coastlines. We discuss challenges to this kind of research that receive little ecological discussion, particularly better leadership and administration, recognising that the systems we study out-live the life spans of individual research groups and operate on spatial scales that exceed the capacity of single research providers.

T1  - Importance of trophic information, simplification and aggregation error in ecosystem models
AN  - 20850826; 8236349
AB  - Ecosystem models are becoming increasingly important as pressure from fisheries intensifies and ecosystem-based fisheries management becomes more widely used. Trophic webs often form the basis of ecosystem models and ecosystem-specific dietary information is crucial for optimal model performance. This is particularly the case if model predictions are used in management decisions. The Tasmanian live fish fishery for banded morwong was used as a case study to investigate the importance of trophic information, model simplification and aggregation error on ecosystem model results. Dietary analysis of 6 commonly captured reef fish was undertaken. Significant trophic overlap was found between blue throat wrasse Notolabrus tetricus and purple wrasse N. fucicola, and banded morwong Cheilodactylus spectabilis and bastard trumpeter Latridopsis forsteri. Marblefish Aplodactylus arctidens and long-snouted boarfish Pentaceropsis recurvirostris had significantly different diets from other species studied. Using this information, a detailed qualitative model was produced and then simplified through the aggregation of variables. Variables were aggregated using 3 methods: Euclidean distance, Bray-Curtis similarity, and regular equivalence for inclusion in 3 simplified models. Variable aggregation is undertaken in many studies and may create aggregation error. Each aggregation method produced a different proportion of incorrect model predictions as a result of aggregation error. The model simplified using regular equivalence produced the least aggregation error and a web structure aligned with the dietary analysis. More widespread use of these methods in fisheries management should be considered.

T1  - Canopy temperature depression as an indication of correlative measure of spot blotch resistance and heat stress tolerance in spring wheat
AN  - 20819008; 8234505
AB  - Heat stress and spot blotch disease are most important stresses in non-traditional tropical wheat-growing areas causing significant yield losses and covering more than twenty five million hectares of land worldwide. These two stresses are supposed to be associated complicating development of tolerant genotypes. The current study was done with the objective of assessing potential application of canopy temperature depression (CTD) as an integrative trait for screening spot blotch resistance and heat stress tolerance. Ten genetically diverse genotypes with different level of resistance to spot blotch were grown both heat stressed (late sowing) and non-stressed (timely sowing) field conditions during 2002-2003 at Rampur and Bhairahawa, Nepal. Canopy temperature was measured during the different growth stages in fungicide protected and non protected plots using a hand held infrared thermometer and was used to calculate CTD and Area Under CTD Progress Curve (AUCTDPC). A strong negative correlation was observed between AUDPC per day and AUCTDPC (r = -0.72**) indicating that foliar blight susceptibility has important role in decreasing AUCTDPC. Genetic differences were observed for both spot blotch resistance and heat stress tolerance, so that genotypes could be categorized into tolerant to either one or both stresses based on AUCTDPC and AUDPC per day readings. AUCTDPC proved to be an integrative trait for both types of stresses and has promise for further application in selection of stress tolerant genotypes in tropical environments.

T1  - Health perceptions of home-grown tobacco (chop-chop) smokers
AN  - 20797937; 8344332
AB  - We present results from a qualitative study of smokers of home-grown tobacco (chop-chop). In particular, we focused on participants' perceptions of the health effects of smoking chop-chop relative to legal tobacco. Consistent with previous work, we found that smokers of chop-chop believe that relatively less chemical treatment of chop-chop tobacco meant lower health risks than with legal products, although many believed the ultimate difference in effect on health was negligible.

T1  - Difficulties in Bringing Point-of-Use Water Treatment to Scale in Rural Guatemala
AN  - 20731408; 8612684
AB  - In an earlier study in rural Guatemala, 257 households that received flocculant-disinfectant to treat their drinking water had 39% less diarrhea than 257 control households. Three weeks after completion of the study, national marketing of the flocculant-disinfectant was extended into the study communities. Six months later, we assessed frequency of and characteristics associated with purchase and use of the flocculant-disinfectant by revisiting the original study households and administering a questionnaire. Four hundred sixty-two households (90%) completed the follow-up survey; 22 households (5%) purchased the flocculant-disinfectant within the preceding 2 weeks and used it within the last week. Neither being randomized to the intervention group during the efficacy study nor combined spending on laundry soap, toothpaste, and hand soap in the preceding week was associated with active repeat use. Even after efficacy was demonstrated within their community and an aggressive sophisticated marketing approach, few households purchased flocculant-disinfectant for point-of-use water treatment.

T1  - Characterization of the atmospheric electrical environment near a corona ion-emitting source
AN  - 20687433; 8184655
AB  - Presence of high concentrations of corona ions in any air environment cause changes in the earth's natural dc e-field; while their interaction with airborne aerosols produce charged particles. The charged particles and ions are dispersed by wind, and depending on the prevailing meteorology, their presence can be observed several hundreds of metres from the ion source. This paper presents a study characterizing the electrical environment of a strong substantially constant source of corona ions (a high voltage electricity substation). Results of the study showed that corona ion and particle charge concentrations as well as their associated effect on the vertical dc e-field perturbations decreased with distance from the emitting source. Mean particle charge concentration in the air environment of the ion-emitting source (-1750+ /-745ionscm super(-) super(3)) was three times higher than that of an urban outdoor air and 17 times that of a mechanically ventilated room. Statistical investigation of possible associations between parameters showed strong associations (R super(2)=74%, p<0.05) between particle charge and ion concentration; and 54% correlation between particle charge and magnitude of the vertical dc e-field (mean value of -285+/-51Vm super(-) super(1)). Although a source of ambient electrical charge, the electricity substation was not a significant generator of aerosol particles within the size range (0.02-1 mu m) examined in this study.

T1  - Air ion concentrations under overhead high-voltage transmission lines
AN  - 20670466; 8184680
AB  - This paper reports net concentrations of small ions (NCSI) monitored at 41 sites under overhead high voltage ac power lines in and around an urban environment. The net ionic polarity under power lines was of both signs but mostly positive and NCSI varied widely from 0 to 3300cm super(-) super(3). Concomitant measurements of the vertical dc electric field at the ground confirmed the presence of a net positive charge above. Approximately, 19% of the sites exhibited relatively high NCSI exceeding 1000cm super(-) super(3). The mean value of all the sites was 776cm super(-) super(3). Statistically, the mean for the transmission voltage (220-330kV) line sites was significantly higher than that for the sub-transmission voltage (110-132kV) line sites with means of 905 and 501cm super(-) super(3), respectively. These values were compared with the mean urban outdoor concentration well away from the lines which was about 400cm super(-) super(3) and of negative polarity. Overall, NCSI at approximately 76% of the power line sites exceeded the absolute mean urban outdoor value. The dc electric fields under the power lines showed a statistically significant relationship to the measured NCSI, although there was considerable scatter to indicate that electric field measurements do not necessarily reflect NCSI in the air at ground level.

T1  - Strategies for resource exploitation
AN  - 20599269; 8096108
AB  - In a mixed strategy, game-theoretical scenario mimicking the behaviour of fishing vessels competing for a limited renewable resource, agents following either a Collective Intelligence or a purely selfish strategy quickly outperform fully cooperative teams as well as agents not planning for future action by acting randomly. The stable balance between fully selfish agents and the Collective Intelligence depends subtly on the ratio of instantaneous demand to instantaneously available resource as well as on the dynamics of the resource itself. This suggests use of ratio of strategies as an indicator of the level of resource exploitation. The Collective Intelligence performance proves to be extremely robust to uncertain information, especially when longer records of historical catch are accounted for.

T1  - Gut Residence Time in Pelagic Crustaceans
AN  - 20594354; 8157808
AB  - Gut residence time (GRT) is often reported to be extremely variable among crustaceans. In this study, GRT was measured in tethered mysids that were fed continuously, and appearance of the first faecal pellet was found to be quite consistent averaging 1.6 h. There was no significant difference between GRT in those mysids held singly and those accompanied by free-swimming conspecifics, even though previous studies have shown metabolic benefits in social behaviour. Gut residence time data from a range of pelagic crustaceans feeding continuously showed a clear linear relationship with size. It appears that, when feeding ceases and crustaceans are allowed to clear their guts in filtered water, GRT can be very long and variable. However, when feeding is continuous, GRT can be relatively short and consistent.

T1  - Spatial and temporal rates and patterns of mesquite (Prosopis species) invasion in Western Australia
AN  - 20556626; 7939561
AB  - Historical archives of aerial photography provide a rare data source for quantifying rates and characterising patterns of plant invasions. Canopies of a ca. 70-year-old exotic mesquite population in Western Australia were extracted from a temporal series of panchromatic aerial photography over an area of 450ha using unsupervised classification. Non-mesquite trees and shrubs could not be differentiated from mesquite, and so were masked out using an image acquired prior to invasion. The accuracy of this technique was corroborated in the field and found to be high (R super(2)=0.98, P3m super(2) could be reliably detected with the 1.4m spatial resolution of the imagery used. Rates and patterns of invasion were compared to mesquite invasions where it is native. It was determined that: (i) the shift from grass to mesquite domination has been rapid, with rates of increase in canopy cover comparable to invasive populations in its native range; (ii) rate of patch recruitment was high in all land types, including stony flats, but patch expansion and coalescence primarily occurred in the riparian zone and red-loamy soils; (iii) sheep and macropods have been the main vectors of spread and (iv) early successional patterns, such as high patch initiation followed by coalescence of existing stands, are similar to those where mesquite is native, but patch mortality was not observed.

T1  - Organic Matter Stimulates Bacteria and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Bauhinia purpurea and Leucaena diversifolia Plantations on Eroded Slopes in Nepal
AN  - 20467608; 9154230
AB  - AbstractErosion resulting from landslides is a serious problem in mountainous countries such as Nepal. To restore such sites it is essential to establish plant cover that protects the soil and reduces surface erosion. Mycorrhizal fungi growing in symbiosis with plants are essential in this respect because they improve both plant nutrient uptake and soil structure. We investigated the influence of organic matter and P amendment on recently produced biomass of bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in eroded slopes in Nepal. Eroded soil mixed with different types of organic matter or P was placed in mesh bags, which were buried around trees of Bauhinia purpurea and Leucaena diversifolia between June 2003 and December 2003 (the wet season) or between December 2003 and June 2004 (the dry season). Signature fatty acids were used to determine bacterial and AM fungal biomass after the 6-month intervals. The amount and composition of AM fungal spores were analyzed in the mesh bags from the dry season. More microbial biomass was produced during the wet season than during the dry season. Furthermore, organic matter addition enhanced the production of AM fungal and bacterial biomass during both periods. The positive influence of organic matter addition on AM fungi could be an important contribution to plant survival in plantations on eroded slopes. Different AM spore communities and bacterial profiles were obtained with different organic amendments and this suggests a possible way of selecting for specific microbial communities in the management of eroded sites.

T1  - Spatial variation in burrow morphology of the mud shore crab Helograpsus haswellianus (Brachyura, Grapsidae) in South Australian saltmarshes
AN  - 20284635; 8939339
AB  - Burrowing by crabs is an important component of their functional role in mangrove and saltmarsh habitats. The grapsid crab Helograpsus haswellianus (Whitelegge, 1889) is one of the more conspicuous burrowing organisms in the saltmarshes of southern Australia. To evaluate intraspecific differences in burrowing behaviour among saltmarshes on a regional scale, we compared vegetation cover, sediment composition and burrow morphology at four sites using resin casts. Six burrow morphology characters were measured (burrow depth, number, lengths and diameter of the shafts, ratio of the shafts, number and diameter of the burrow openings), and the overall 3D burrow complexity was described using a single parameter, the fractal dimension D. Apart from the number of shafts, all morphological characters of the burrows differed significantly among sites. Analyses of the fractal dimensions lead to the identification of three groups of burrows based on D: a group of highly complex burrows (one site), a group of burrows of intermediate complexity (two sites) and a group of less complex burrows (one site). Burrow morphology variation was correlated with non- dominant vegetation, plant matter in the soil and very coarse sand in the sediment. Site-specific differences in burrows caution against generalising the functional role of crabs across sites.

T1  - Ballast water risk assessment: principles, processes, and methods
AN  - 20174332; 8493174
AB  - Two methods of assessing the risk of species introduction by ballast water are discussed, species-specific and environmental similarity assessments, each for alignment with four proposed principles of risk-based resource management: (i) society accepts that low risk scenarios exist; (ii) risk assessment is capable of identifying low risk scenarios; (iii) risk mitigation strategies exist; and (iv) mitigation costs are less than the cost of performing risk assessment. All four principles were met in some circumstances for both methods. Species-specific ballast water risk assessment is best suited to situations where the assessment can be restricted to a limited set of harmful species on journeys within bioregions where ballast water is a small component of natural genetic exchange. Environmental similarity risk assessment is appropriate for journeys that start and end in locations which have very little or no natural genetic exchange, such as journeys between non-contiguous bioregions. Because a large number of species are not assessed individually, environmental match assessments necessarily will be restricted to fundamental variables such as temperature and salinity. A number of bioregion classifications have been identified in the world's oceans, some of which at a scale that may be appropriate for ballast water management. The suitability of any particular classification, however, needs further examination.

T1  - Changes in growth, internode distance and nutrient concentrations of the seagrass Halophila ovalis with exposure to sediment sulphide
AN  - 20172891; 8342301
AB  - Sulphide concentrations in estuarine sediments are likely to increase with increased organic matter fluxes (eutrophication) and increased temperatures (global warming). The short-term effects of sulphide on the growth, nutrition and morphology of the seagrass Halophila ovalis (R.Br.) Hook. f. were investigated in situ. Sediments within a H. ovalis meadow were enriched with Na sub(2)S equivalent to 0, 1.1 and 4.2 g m super(-2). Sulphide diffusion tubes were estimated to increase sulphide concentrations by 1 to 4 mmol l super(-1), concentrations typical of elevated sulphide measured in natural systems. Biomass, internode distance and growth rate (mg apex super(- 1) day super(-1)) were determined, and plant material was analysed for soluble carbohydrate, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Sulphide exposure caused significant reduction in growth (63%), average leaf weight (30%) and internode distance (15%). Above-ground tissue phosphorus concentration and internode distance were significant predictors of growth (R super(2 )= 0.63, p < 0.01). These results demonstrate the plasticity of H. ovalis in response to a short-term sulphide pulse, and may have implications for recovery from transient sulphide stress.

T1  - Glutathione S-Transferase P1, Maternal Smoking, and Asthma in Children: A Haplotype-Based Analysis
AN  - 19671206; 9040207
AB  - Background Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays a role in a spectrum of respiratory diseases; however, the effects of sequence variation across the entire locus in asthma pathogenesis have yet to be determined. Objectives This study was designed to investigate whether sequence variations in the GSTP1 coding and promoter regions are associated with asthma and wheezing outcomes and to determine whether variants affect susceptibility to maternal smoking. Methods Four haplotype tagging SNPs were selected that accounted for 83% of the common haplotypic variation in GSTP1. The associations of GSTP1 variants with asthma and wheezing were assessed among white children in the Children's Health Study (CHS). Results The Ile105Val allele and a SNP in the upstream promoter region (SNP1: rs6591255, putative transcription factor 1 binding site) were associated with asthma and wheezing outcomes, an association observed in two cohorts of the CHS recruited in different years. Haplotypes that included both the promoter SNP (i.e., rs6591255) and the 105 Val variant were associated with an increased risk for asthma in non-Hispanic whites. Using SNP- and haplotype-based approaches, the effect of maternal smoking on wheezing was largest in children with the Ile105Val allele. Conclusions Variants in both the promoter and coding regions of the GSTP1 locus may contribute to the occurrence of childhood asthma and wheezing and may increase susceptibility to adverse effects of tobacco-smoke exposure.

T1  - Nutritional Status Has Marginal Influence on the Metabolism of Inorganic Arsenic in Pregnant Bangladeshi Women
AN  - 19671156; 9040204
AB  - Background The interindividual variation in metabolism of inorganic arsenic (iAs), involving methylation via one-carbon metabolism, has been well documented, but the reasons remain unclear. Objectives In this population-based study we aimed to elucidate the effect of nutrition on As methylation among women in Matlab, Bangladesh, where people are chronically exposed to iAs via drinking water. Methods We studied effects of macronutrient status using body mass index (BMI) among 442 women in early pregnancy (gestational week 8), and effects of micronutrient status (plasma folate, vitamin B sub(12), zinc, ferritin, and selenium) among 753 women at gestational week 14. Arsenic metabolites in urine were measured by HPLC combined with hydride generation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results The median concentration of As in urine was 97 mu g/L (range, 5-1,216 mu g/L, adjusted by specific gravity). The average proportions of iAs, monomethylarsonic acid, and dimethylarsinic acid in urine in gestational week 8 were 15%, 11%, and 74%, respectively. Thus, the women had efficient As methylation in spite of being poorly nourished (one-third had BMIs & 18.5 kg/m super(2)) and having elevated As exposure, both of which are known to decrease As methylation. The metabolism of iAs was only marginally influenced by micronutrient status, probably because women, especially in pregnancy and with low folate intake, have an efficient betaine-mediated remethylation of homocysteine, which is essential for an efficient As methylation. Conclusions In spite of the high As exposure and prevalent malnutrition, overall As methylation in women in early pregnancy was remarkably efficient. The As exposure level had the greatest impact on As methylation among the studied factors.

T1  - Pilot Studies of Estrogen-Related Physical Findings in Infants
AN  - 19668725; 9040208
AB  - Background Soy formula containing estrogenic isoflavones is widely used in the United States. Infants consuming soy formula exclusively have high isoflavone exposures. We wanted to study whether soy formula prolonged the physiologic estrogenization of newborns, but available quantitative descriptions of the natural history of breast and genital development are inadequate for study design. Objective We piloted techniques for assessing infants' responses to the withdrawal from maternal estrogen and gathered data on breast and genital development in infants at different ages. Methods We studied 37 boys and 35 girls, from term pregnancies with normal birth weights, who were & 48 hr to 6 months of age, and residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during 2004-2005. One-third of the children of each sex and age interval were exclusively fed breast milk, soy formula, or cow-milk formula. Our cross-sectional study measured breast adipose tissue, breast buds, and testicular volume; observed breast and genital development; and collected vaginal wall cells and information on vaginal discharge. We assessed reliability of the measures. Results Breast tissue was maximal at birth and disappeared in older children, consistent with waning maternal estrogen. Genital development did not change by age. Breast-milk secretion and withdrawal bleeding were unusual. Vaginal wall cells showed maximal estrogen effect at birth and then reverted; girls on soy appeared to show reestrogenization at 6 months. Conclusions Examination of infants for plausible effects of estrogens is valid and repeatable. Measurement of breast tissue and characterization of vaginal wall cells could be used to evaluate exposures with estrogen-like effects.

T1  - Increased seawater viscosity, Phaeocystis globosa spring bloom and Temora longicornis feeding and swimming behaviours
AN  - 19602156; 8378246
AB  - The suggested influence of increased seawater viscosity on the feeding and swimming behaviours of adult females of the calanoid copepod Temora longicornis was investigated during a Phaeocystis globosa spring bloom in the coastal waters of the eastern English Channel. Adult female gut contents did not exhibit any significant correlation with chlorophyll concentration or seawater excess viscosity over the course of the bloom. Instead, the highest gut contents were observed when the seawater viscosity was maximum (up to 4.6 centipoise [cP]), after a 5-fold decrease in chlorophyll concentration related to the formation of foam. This demonstrates that even high viscosity did not mechanically hamper zooplankton grazing. Gut contents were controlled by the taxonomic availability rather than the quantitative availability of phytoplankton-based food. This is consistent with the observed sustained egg production rates despite drastic changes in the composition of protist resource over the course of the bloom. Before and after the bloom (in the absence of P. globosa), T. longicornis exhibited similar swimming paths characterized by their large spatial extent and low curviness. In contrast, during the bloom their movements were spatially more localised, significantly slower and more convoluted. This behaviour is suggested as an adaptive strategy to optimise foraging activity during P. globosa blooms, which have been recently shown to generate high level of phytoplankton patchiness.

T1  - Host Plants and Host Plant Preference Studies for Bactrocera invadens (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Kenya, a New Invasive Fruit Fly Species in Africa
AN  - 19342073; 8700329
AB  - Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White (Diptera: Tephritidae), an invasive fruit fly species of Asian origin, was detected in Kenya in 2003, and is now well established in several parts of the country. We assessed the host range of this major quarantine pest in Kenya by collecting a wide range of cultivated and wild host plants from December 2004 to April 2006. Fruit were collected from 90 plant species representing 40 families from the Coast, Eastern, and Rift Valley provinces of the country where the fly population had been observed to occur in large numbers and where fruit and vegetable production is predominant. Fourteen plant species, among them cultivated and wild fruiting species, were found to be hosts of B. invadens. Fruit of mango, Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae); banana Musa sp. AAA (Musaceae); and citrus [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f. (lemon), Citrus reticulata Blanco (tangerine), and Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) (all Rutaceae)], were among the cultivated species heavily infested by B. invadens. Marula Sclerocarya birrea (A.Rich) Hochst. (Anacardiaceae) and Terminalia catappa L. (Combretaceae) were found to be the most infested noncultivated plants. These wild plants evidently ensure that sufficient reproductive bases exist for B. invadens during the off-season when the cultivated hosts are not in fruiting. In laboratory host preference studies, mango and banana were found to be the most preferred host plants among the nine cultivated plant species tested.

T1  - Genetic contributions to agricultural sustainability
AN  - 19526168; 7964004
AB  - The current tools of enquiry into the structure and operation of the plant genome have provided us with an understanding of plant development and function far beyond the state of knowledge that we had previously. We know about key genetic controls repressing or stimulating the cascades of gene expression that move a plant through stages in its life cycle, facilitating the morphogenesis of vegetative and reproductive tissues and organs. The new technologies are enabling the identification of key gene activity responses to the range of biotic and abiotic challenges experienced by plants. In the past, plant breeders produced new varieties with changes in the phases of development, modifications of plant architecture and improved levels of tolerance and resistance to environmental and biotic challenges by identifying the required phenotypes in a few plants among the large numbers of plants in a breeding population. Now our increased knowledge and powerful gene sequence-based diagnostics provide plant breeders with more precise selection objectives and assays to operate in rationally planned crop improvement programmes. We can expect yield potential to increase and harvested product quality portfolios to better fit an increasing diversity of market requirements. The new genetics will connect agriculture to sectors beyond the food, feed and fibre industries; agri-business will contribute to public health and will provide high-value products to the pharmaceutical industry as well as to industries previously based on petroleum feedstocks and chemical modification processes.

T1  - INFLUENCE OF LONG TERM UTILIZATION OF DOMESTIC SEWAGE ON PERFORMANCE OF WHEAT AND HEALTH OF FARMERS
AN  - 746128337; 12843703
AB  - Field experiment was laid out in farmer's field near to Dharwad city domestic sewage course in split-split plot design with three replications. Main land treatments were land irrigated with sewage since 1970 and land irrigated with borewell since 1992. Sub plots were allotted with sources of irrigation consisting of sewage alone, borewell water alone (good water) and alternate sewage and borewell water. Fertilizer levels were allotted to sub-sub plots (No fertilizer), 50 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), 75 per cent RDF and 100 per cent RDF. The results revealed that sewage irrigated land recorded significantly higher grain yield (43.7 q ha super(-1)), protein (12.8%) and dry gluten (9.2) than bore well irrigation land. Sources of irrigation also differed significantly producing higher grain (41.0 q ha super(-1)), protein (12.8 %), dry gluten (8.9%) in sewage irrigation than to borewell water irrigation. Among the fertilizer levels, 100 % RDF and 75% RDF were on par with each otner. The sewage irrigation reduced 25 per cent of fertilizer with additional advantage of improved yield and quality of wheat. Health condition indicated that sewage irrigating farmers are of normal except some dermatological observations.

T1  - A study of modal characteristics and the control mechanism of finite periodic and irregular ribbed plates.
AN  - 742776214; pmid-18247877
AB  - An analytical solution is presented in this paper to investigate the control mechanism and modal characteristics of finite periodic and irregular ribbed plates. Peak responses of a finite periodic ribbed plate were examined where they were grouped into two sets of propagation zones according to the coupling mechanism at beam/plate interfaces. Details of modal characteristics in pass bands of the periodic ribbed plate were elucidated and the control mechanism was discussed. Modes in each pass band that are governed by shear force couplings were characterized by one of the beam flexural modes whose modal responses could be represented approximately by those of the corresponding orthotropic plate modes. Modes in the second set of pass bands were found to retain the resonance frequencies of the corresponding modes of the unribbed base plate. Higher order orthotropic plate modes were also identified, which could not be grouped into any pass bands defined by the classical periodic theory. The control mechanism leading to vibration confinement in disordered and irregular ribbed plates was also discussed. It was found that beam spacing irregularity attributes to localization of the group of modes associated with flexural wave couplings but not the group of modes associated with moment couplings.

T1  - Iron acquisition within host cells and the pathogenicity of Leishmania.
AN  - 70203180; 18070118
AB  - Iron is an essential cofactor for several enzymes and metabolic pathways, in both microbes and in their eukaryotic hosts. To avoid toxicity, iron acquisition is tightly regulated. This represents a particular challenge for pathogens that reside within the endocytic pathway of mammalian cells, because endosomes and lysosomes are gradually depleted in iron by host transporters. An important player in this process is Nramp1 (Slc11a1), a proton efflux pump that translocates Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) ions from macrophage lysosomes/phagolysosomes into the cytosol. Mutations in Nramp1 cause susceptibility to infection with the bacteria Salmonella and Mycobacteria and the protozoan Leishmania, indicating that an available pool of intraphagosomal iron is critical for the intracellular survival and replication of these pathogens. Salmonella and Mycobacteria are known to express iron transporter systems that effectively compete with host transporters for iron. Until recently, however, very little was known about the molecular strategy used by Leishmania for survival in the iron-poor environment of macrophage phagolysosomes. It is now clear that intracellular residence induces Leishmania amazonensis to express LIT1, a ZIP family membrane Fe(2+) transporter that is required for intracellular growth and virulence.

T1  - Metals and selenium in the liver and bone of three dolphin species from South Australia, 1988-2004.
AN  - 70092557; 18006044
AB  - Metal and selenium concentrations (wet weight) were determined in the liver (Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu and Se) and bone (Pb and Cd) of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis, N=71) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus, N=12, and Tursiops aduncus, N=71) stranded or by-caught in South Australia from 1988 to 2004. Differences in metal burdens existed between species, stranding location, and relative age. T. aduncus had the greatest mean tissue burdens of liver Pb (0.45 mg/kg), Cd (6.45 mg/kg), Hg (475.78 mg/kg), Se (178.85 mg/kg) and Zn (93.88 mg/kg) and bone Pb (2.78 mg/kg), probably reflecting their coastal habitat and benthic prey. Mean Cu was highest in T. truncatus (21.18 mg/kg). Bone Cd was measured only in T. aduncus and averaged 0.05 mg/kg. Stranding location impacted metal burdens. Dolphins from Spencer Gulf had higher mean levels of liver Pb (0.39 mg/kg) while Gulf St Vincent dolphins had greater liver Hg (444.64 mg/kg), liver Se (163.12 mg/kg), and bone Pb (2.85 mg/kg). This may be due to high anthropogenic inputs of Pb and Hg into Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent respectively. Liver Cd, Hg, Se and Pb increased with age in all species while Cu decreased with age, in keeping with previous studies. Se and Hg were positively correlated. The possibility that metallothioneins are driving observed correlations between Zn, Cd, Hg and Cu are discussed. Future research must investigate the toxicological consequences of the metal concentrations reported.

T1  - Determinants of Public Service Employee Corruption: A Conceptual Model from the Psychological Contract Perspective
AN  - 61719445; 200823405
AB  - A conceptual model is presented that explores the potential role of psychological contracts (PCs) upon corrupt acts within the public sector. The propositions we offer are based upon theoretical and empirical studies within the economics and management literatures. These have significant managerial implications because we postulate that even functional work environments can help foster corruption. Corruption may result when managerial decision makers overlook the range of expectations, embedded within the PC. On the one hand, contracts stimulate functional behaviours but when violations to these employee contracts occur, it is postulated that the resultant behaviour could lead to corruption because of the need for employees to recoup what they perceived are owed to them. Such propositions need to be empirically tested because, if confirmed will widen current thinking in relation to the antecedent factors causing corruption within the public service.

T1  - Video streaming: Implementation and evaluation in an undergraduate nursing program
AN  - 57248312; 200816917
AB  - Video streaming technology enables video content, held on the web sites, to be streamed via the web. We report the implementation and evaluation of video streaming in an undergraduate nursing program in a metropolitan university in Australia. Students (n = 703) were emailed a survey with a 15% response rate. We found that 91% (n = 74) of respondents stated that video streaming assisted their learning. Forty-six percent(n = 50) of students had difficulty accessing video streaming (particularly at the beginning of the study period). Over a 97-day period there were 8440 'hits' to the site from 1039 different internet protocol (IP) addresses. There were 4475 video streaming sessions undertaken by users. Video streaming was used for reviewing previously attended lectures (52%, n = 56), examination preparation (34%, n = 37), viewing missed lectures (27%, n = 29) and class preparation (9%, n = 10). Our experience with the introduction of video streaming has met with general enthusiasm from both students and teaching staff. Video streaming has particular relevance for rural students.

T1  - Ebby Halliday's Wisdom for the Ages
AN  - 215373463
AB  - Gaylord praises realtor Ebby Halliday for maintaining a topnotch real estate company. Among other things, customer service has been a way of life since 1929 for Halliday, when she graduated from high school and began earning her living selling hats. When she switched to homes in the 1940s, she brought with her the adage that the customer is always right.

T1  - Spatial changes in the distributions of deep-sea 'Cerviniidae' (Harpacticoida, Copepoda) and their associations with environmental factors in the bathyal zone around Sagami Bay, Japan
AN  - 20894231; 8152721
AB  - To estimate species turnover rates on scales of several tens of km in deep-sea benthic animals, we analyzed spatial and inter-annual changes in species diversity and composition of cerviniids, a typical group of deep-sea harpacticoids, at stations in and around Sagami Bay, central Japan. Associations with environmental factors were also investigated. Generally, bathymetrical patterns in diversity of benthos are unimodal and peak at depths of 2,000-3,000 m. In Sagami Bay, cerviniid diversity did not follow this trend; both species richness and evenness were negatively correlated with water depth. Multivariate analyses [detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling] suggested that temporal changes in species composition of cerviniids are smaller than spatial changes that occur on horizontal scales of several tens of km. Community structure does not change completely on these scales in the bathyal zone around Sagami Bay. DCA also showed that bathymetrical changes in species composition can be regulated by certain factors associated with water depth.

T1  - Towards a seascape typology. I. Zipf versus Pareto laws
AN  - 20867153; 7943013
AB  - Two data analysis methods, referred to as the Zipf and Pareto methods, initially introduced in economics and linguistics two centuries ago and subsequently used in a wide range of fields (word frequency in languages and literature, human demographics, finance, city formation, genomics and physics), are described and proposed here as a potential tool to classify space-time patterns in marine ecology. The aim of this paper is, first, to present the theoretical bases of Zipf and Pareto laws, and to demonstrate that they are strictly equivalent. In that way, we provide a one-to-one correspondence between their characteristic exponents and argue that the choice of technique is a matter of convenience. Second, we argue that the appeal of this technique is that it is assumption-free for the distribution of the data and regularity of sampling interval, as well as being extremely easy to implement. Finally, in order to allow marine ecologists to identify and classify any structure in their data sets, we provide a step by step overview of the characteristic shapes expected for Zipf's law for the cases of randomness, power law behavior, power law behavior contaminated by internal and external noise, and competing power laws illustrated on the basis of typical ecological situations such as mixing processes involving non-interacting and interacting species, phytoplankton growth processes and differential grazing by zooplankton.

T1  - Phytoplankton patch patterns: Seascape anatomy in a turbulent ocean
AN  - 20707473; 7943008
AB  - Marine phytoplankton experience competition, predation, infection and aggregation occurring across distances of micrometres to centimetres. However, the consequences of these interactions influence global processes, such as climate and fisheries productivity. There is a long-standing default assumption that these global processes cannot be traced to plankton distributions and interactions below a few metres because of the homogenising effect of turbulence [Hutchinson, G.E., 1961. The paradox of the plankton. Am. Nat. 95, 137-146.; Siegel, D.A., 1998. Resource competition in a discrete environment: Why are plankton distributions paradoxical? Limnol. Oceanogr. 43, 1133-1146.]. We show that, in active turbulence, phytoplankton patches, on the order of 10 cm, have repeatable asymmetry and regular spacing over distances of centimetres to tens of metres. The regularity and hierarchical nature of the patches in mixed ocean water means that phytoplankton are distributed in a dynamic, but definite seascape topography, where groups of patches coalesce between intermittent turbulent eddies. These patches may link large scale processes and microscale interactions, acting as fundamental components of marine ecosystems that influence grazing efficiency, taxonomic diversity, and the initiation of aggregation and subsequent carbon flux.

T1  - Arsenate removal from water by a weak-base anion exchange fibrous adsorbent
AN  - 20689148; 8183892
AB  - A weak-base anion exchange fiber named FVA with primary amino groups for selective and rapid removal of arsenate species was prepared by means of electron irradiation induced liquid phase graft polymerization of N-vinylformamide onto polyethylene coated polypropylene fibers and by the subsequent alkaline hydrolysis of amide group on the grafted polymer chains. Two types of FVA were prepared. One was a non-woven cloth type named FVA-c for the batch-mode study, which clarified that uptake of arsenate species decreases with an increase in pH, and chloride and sulfate do not strongly interfere with uptake of arsenate species different from conventional anion exchange resins based on crosslinked polystyrene matrices. The other was a filamentary type one named FVA-f used in the column-mode study, which clarified that arsenate species were successfully removed from neutral pH arsenate solutions containing 1.0-99mg of As/L at feed flow rates of 100-1050h super(-) super(1) in space velocity (SV). The most important findings are that the 1% breakthrough point in uptake from the arsenate solution containing 1.0mg of As/L at the high feed flow rate of 1050h super(-) super(1) in SV was as large as 4670 bed volumes, giving the 1% breakthrough capacity of 0.298mmol/g of FVA-f. Adsorbed arsenate was able to be quantitatively eluted with 1M hydrochloric acid and FVA-f was simultaneously regenerated. Then, the repeated use of FVA-f was possible.

T1  - The new climate discourse: Alarmist or alarming?
AN  - 20657311; 8101659
AB  - The discourse on climate change is in part divided between a sense of alarm and a sense of alarmism in assessments of the magnitude and urgency of the problem. The divide in the discourse among climatologists relates to tensions in the use of key phrases to describe climate change. This article reviews evidence to support claims that climate change can be viewed as 'catastrophic', 'rapid', 'urgent', 'irreversible', 'chaotic', and 'worse than previously thought'. Each of these terms are imprecise and may convey a range of meaning. The method used here is to assess whether the conventional understandings of these terms are broadly consistent or inconsistent with the science, or else ambiguous. On balance, these terms are judged to be consistent with the science. Factors which divide climatologists on this discourse are also reviewed. The divide over a sense of urgency relates to disagreement on the manner and rate at which ice sheets breakdown in response to sustained warming. Whether this rate is fast or slow, the amount of time available to reduce emissions sufficient to prevent ice sheet breakdown is relatively short, given the moderate levels of warming required and the inertia of the climate and energy systems. A new discourse is emerging which underscores the scope of the problem and the scope and feasibility of solutions. This discourse differentiates itself from existing discourses which view the magnitudes of the problem or of solutions as prohibitive.

T1  - How many common reptile species are fire specialists? A replicated natural experiment highlights the predictive weakness of a fire succession model
AN  - 20621071; 8102544
AB  - Species with strong preferences for early or late successional stages after fire may be extinction prone under current fire regimes. However, the extent of specialisation to time since fire is poorly understood, and, for reptiles, succession models for predicting responses are in the development phase. In this study we tested predictions of a reptile succession model, and identified species that may be fire specialists. Reptiles were sampled in five burnt and unburnt mallee Eucalyptus woodlands, Australia. Two, 400m transects within each burn treatment were sampled using 11 pairs of pitfall-traps that were opened for five weeks over two summers. A habitat accommodation model of succession that was previously developed for mallee reptiles correctly predicted the observed responses of three of 16 common reptile species. A further four species showed non-significant trends in the predicted direction. However, eight other species showed unexpected responses. One species showed a strong interaction between burn age and location, requiring a two-dimensional successional model in contrast with the usual linear models explaining reptile responses to fire. One third of common species were not affected by fire and so may not have increased risks of extinction due to the fire suppression /incineration cycle. However, approximately half to two-thirds of common reptiles did have a fire response, so the risk of deterministic extinction in small fragments may be substantial. Further model development is needed to better predict fire responses and to assist the design of fire mosaics that can accommodate early and late successional fire specialists.

T1  - Causes and Consequences of Host Expansion by Mnesampela privata
AN  - 20581298; 8156357
AB  - The autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata, utilizes several species of Eucalyptus planted outside regions of endemism within Australia. We investigated whether foliar monoterpene composition influenced oviposition in the field on the natural primary host (E. globulus) and a novel host (E. rubida), both characterized by nonstructural epicuticular waxes. In the laboratory, oviposition preferences of females for species and families of known host, novel hosts, and non-hosts that were characterized by both nonstructural and structural waxes but also varied in foliar concentrations of the purportedly toxic plant secondary metabolite (sideroxylonal) were studied. Although M. privata laid as many eggs on trees of two families of E. rubida as they did on trees of two families of E. globulus, there were significant differences in the numbers of clutches of eggs laid. When combined with data for oviposition on another five families of E. globulus, we found a negative relationship between mean numbers of eggs and foliar concentration of alpha -pinene but a positive relationship between egg numbers and the concentration of alpha -terpineol. The field data suggest that female M. privata are just as willing to lay eggs on novel hosts with comparable foliar monoterpene compositions to those of the primary host, especially if they produce nonstructural epicuticular waxes. Oviposition assays in the laboratory endorse this mechanism of host plant hierarchy and support the long-held assumption of the host primacy of E. globulus. In laboratory assays, some larvae pupated on all hosts (except Corymbia eximia) but the number completing larval development was greater on hosts with softer leaves. Larval survival was also reduced on hosts with high concentrations of sideroxylonal but only if those hosts also had modest to high concentrations of monoterpenes. Larval survival was high on a host (E. macarthurii) with a high concentration of sideroxylonal but with virtually zero monoterpene content. This suggests that the monoterpene content of a host could antagonize the effect on M. privata larvae of its sideroxylonal content. The larval food plant most affected the fitness of female rather than male pupae. Of the known host expansion events, all have occurred in mixed species plantations. The co-occurrence in these plantations of either the primary host or other highly ranked species probably explains the eventual expansion onto the neighboring species of Eucalyptus and Corymbia.

T1  - Comparison of five allopatric fruit fly parasitoid populations (Psyttalia species) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from coffee fields using morphometric and molecular methods
AN  - 19922015; 8816012
AB  - Morphometric studies of five allopatric parasitoid populations (genus Psyttalia Walker) from coffee plantations in Cameroon (Nkolbisson), Ghana (Tafo) and Kenya (Rurima, Ruiru and Shimba Hills) and one non-coffee population (from Muhaka, Kenya) were compared with individuals of Psyttalia concolor (SzEpligeti), a species released in several biological control programmes in the Mediterranean Region since the 20th Century. Analyses of wing vein measurements showed the second submarginal cell of the fore wing and its adjoining veins had the heaviest principal component weights and served as the main contributing variables in the diagnostic differentiation of the populations. Two populations (Rurima and Ruiru) were found to be the closest to each other and with the strongest phenetic affinity toward P. concolor (and forming one cluster). Populations from Shimba Hills (of unknown identity), Nkolbisson (P. perproximus (Silvestri)) and Tafo formed a second cluster and were separated from P. concolor. Comparison using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) also showed the Shimba, Nkolbisson and Tafo populations forming a cluster in a dendrogram generated from their genetic distances, with the Shimba and Tafo populations placed as the most closely related species. Based on consistent morphological similarities, morphometric and ecological data coupled with the genetic evidence from AFLP data, the Shimba population is suggested as belonging to the P. perproximus group and, thus, represents a new occurrence record in Kenya. Our results also support earlier conclusion from cross mating data that populations from Rurima and Ruiru belong to the Psyttalia concolor species-group.

T1  - The discovery and analysis of a diverged family of novel antifungal moricin-like peptides in the wax moth Galleria mellonella
AN  - 19887104; 8091793
AB  - Screening for components with antifungal activity in the hemolymph of immune-stimulated Galleria mellonella larvae led to the identification of four novel moricin-like peptides (A, B, C3 and D). Subsequently, eight moricin-like peptide genes (A, B, C1-5 and D) were isolated and shown to code for seven unique peptides (mature C4 and C5 are identical). These genes contained single introns which varied from 180 to 1090bp. The moricin-like peptides were particularly active against filamentous fungi, preventing the growth of Fusarium graminearum at 3 mu g/ml, and were also active against yeasts, gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria. Searches of the databases identified 30 moricin-like peptide genes which code for 23 unique mature peptides, all belonging to the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). The first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the moricin-like peptides suggested that they fall into two basic classes which diverged a long time ago. The peptides have since diversified extensively through a high level of gene duplication within species, as seen in G. mellonella and Bombyx mori. The restriction of moricin-like peptides to the Lepidoptera combined with their potent antifungal activity suggests that this diverse peptide family may play a role in the defence response of moths and butterflies.

T1  - ONTOGENETIC CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE MOUTHPARTS AND FOREGUT OF EARLY AND LATE STAGE PANULIRUS ORNATUS (FABRICIUS, 1798) PHYLLOSOMATA (DECAPODA: PALINURIDAE)
AN  - 19403857; 8694456
AB  - Structure of the mouthparts and foregut of Panulirus ornatus phyllosomata (stages I-VI hatchery reared, IX-X wild caught) were examined using scanning electron microscopy and histology to gain an understanding of ingestive and digestive processing mechanisms, to identify potential shifts in diet during development, and to suggest appropriate physical characteristics for the development of a suitable formulated diet for commercial aquaculture of this species such as size, texture, and buoyancy. Mouthpart and foregut structure indicates that P. ornatus phyllosomata are capable of ingesting zooplankton of any hardness during this life history stage and are only limited by their ability to capture and manipulate prey as the mandibular molars are well developed to masticate prey further. Mouthpart morphology changes little during development, however, the disposition of the mouthparts and size of the mouth aperture increases with each successive stage of development, suggesting a greater capacity to manipulate and ingest larger prey. The foregut of all developmental stages consists of a single chamber, with well-developed grooves, channels and setae, but lacks a gastric mill. Presence of well-developed main brushes, lateral setae, and development of a functional filter press at stage IV suggests an increased ability to triturate and filter prey internally, reducing both the time spent externally manipulating prey with the mouthparts and the vulnerability to predation in the open ocean. The results presented here suggest that formulated diets larger than > 428 mu m, with a firm/hard consistency that allow the dactyli of the second and third maxillipeds to penetrate the diet without causing fouling of the setae would be suitable.

T1  - DDE, a Degradation Product of DDT, and Duration of Lactation in a Highly Exposed Area of Mexico
AN  - 14834573; 10728921
AB  - The relationship of maternal 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) concentrations and length of subsequent lactation in a cohort of 784 mother-son pairs in which maternal serum 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and DDE levels at delivery had been previously determined was assessed. A questionnaire was administered to the mothers during each home visit. DDE and DDT were measured in maternal serum obtained within 1 day of delivery. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to describe unadjusted duration. Among the participants, DDE was higher in women without previous breast-feeding than in women with previous breast-feeding. About 40% of women breast-fed their child within an hour and almost all within a day after birth. Few women reported problems initiating breast-feeding.

T1  - Nonmalignant Respiratory Effects of Chronic Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water Among Never-Smokers in Bangladesh
AN  - 14833181; 10728922
AB  - The effects of arsenic (As) exposure on lung injury using the serum level of CC16 and several indices of As exposure were examined. Urinary As metabolites were assayed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry with dynamic reaction cell coupled to high performance liquid chromatography. The concentration of CC16 in serum was determined using the assay method. Individual with skin lesions consumed water with a significantly higher As concentration than those without lesions. Individuals with skin lesions had significantly higher urinary As than those without. The primary As methylation index was also significantly higher among arsenical skin lesion cases than noncases. Serum CC16 levels were inversely related to urinary As concentrations, although the association did not reach statistical significance at p < 0.05 among all individuals.

T1  - Long-Term Effects of Traffic-Related Air Pollution on Mortality in a Dutch Cohort (NLCS-AIR Study)
AN  - 14832839; 10728923
AB  - The relationship between long-term effects of traffic-related air pollution and mortality in a Dutch cohort was studied. Air pollution effects were analyzed for overall concentrations and for a combination of background concentrations and traffic variables to identify effects of living near busy roads separately. In the full cohort analyses, there was no association between estimated sulfur dioxide (SO sub(2)) and mortality in any of the analyses. Black smoke (BS) and nitrogen dioxide (NO sub(2)) were significantly associated with natural cause and respiratory mortality. Effect estimates for other mortality were also increased with RRs similar to the effect estimates for natural-cause mortality. It was shown that the age-sex adjusted results between case-cohort and full cohort analyses were comparable, especially for BS and NO sub(2), but adjusted results were not.

T1  - Hair Mercury Negatively Correlates with Calcium Pump Activity in Human Term Newborns and Their Mothers at Delivery
AN  - 14832686; 10728925
AB  - The relationships between Hg and Pb prenatal exposures and erythrocyte Ca pump activity in human term newborns and their mothers at delivery were determined. Pb concentrations in maternal and cord blood as well as in maternal and newborn hair were analyzed by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry using a Zeeman effect corrector. Hair Hg concentration was determined in maternal hair by cold vapor atomic absorption. Ca pump activities in newborn blood were not related to the potential confounders considered. Positive and highly statistically significant links between Ca pump activities, mainly between basal and stimulated activities, both in mothers and newborns were found. Maternal hair Hg was not statistically correlated to any of the Pb indicators considered.

T1  - Arsenic in Drinking-Water and Risk for Cancer in Denmark
AN  - 14826735; 10728924
AB  - The association of an individual exposure to low levels of arsenic (As) in drinking water in Denmark to risk for cancer was investigated. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for cancer associated with the time weighted average and cumulative As exposure. The time-weighted As exposure of the cohort members calculated from 41 years of age up to date of enrollment varied between 0.05 and 25.3 mu g/L, with a median concentration of 0.7 mu g/L and a mean concentration of 1.2 mu g/L. The results without adjustment for enrollment area showed no significant association between exposure to As and risk for any type of cancer, except for non-melanoma skin cancer, for which higher As exposure was associated with lower risk.

T1  - Early pre-implantation lethality in mice carrying truncated mutation in the RNA polymerase 1-2 gene
AN  - 19466081; 7940387
AB  - Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is an important initial step for the production of ribosomes. The RNA polymerase 1-2 (Rpo1-2) gene is comprised of 15 exons and encodes 1135 amino acids (aa) of the second largest subunit in Pol I. In a gene trap screen, we have identified an insertional mutation (Rpo1-2 super(G) super(t)) in the 14th exon of Rpo1-2, resulting in a truncation of 312aa from the C-terminal. In Rpo1-2 super(G) super(t) super(/) super(G) super(t) embryos, the synthesis of rRNA was severely impaired. Rpo1-2 super(G) super(t) super(/) super(G) super(t) embryos could develop to the morula stage, and thereafter displayed nucleolus disruption and apoptotic cell death. These results indicate that the loss of rDNA transcription induced nucleolar structure disorganization and apoptosis in preimplantation embryos.

T1  - Treatment of winery wastewater using a photocatalytic/photolytic reactor
AN  - 20689150; 8192026
AB  - In this study, an annular photocatalytic/photolytic reactor system was designed to investigate remediation of winery wastewater. The performance of the reactor was studied as a functional of various operating variables, such as gas flow rate, pH and catalyst loading. It was found that the optimum gas flow rate was 6 L/min whereas the optimum pH value is 6.5. The highest photodegradation rate and the maximum COD removal were achieved at zero catalyst loading with COD removal of about 84%. Lower rates of chemical reaction in photocatalysis compared to photolysis were possibly because of the shielding of UV light by titania particles. This hypothesis was confirmed by conducting further experiments with inert glass beads where the reaction rate decreased with particle loading in an identical manner.

T1  - On the Record: Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control
AN  - 61961554; ED499668
AB  - While this Report is presented to the Library of Congress, it situates recommendations to the Library in the broader context of the environment in which the Library does and could function. Thus, the Report discusses and makes recommendations not only to the Library, but also to other current and potential participants in this environment. The Report is also aimed at policy-makers and decision-makers who influence the scope of operation of and constraints imposed upon participating organizations. The Report is based on the key premise that the community is at a critical juncture in the evolution of bibliographic control and information access/provision. It is time to take stock of past practices, to look at today's trends, and to project a future path consistent with the goals of bibliographic control: to facilitate discovery, management, identification, and access of and to library materials and other information products. Libraries must work in the most efficient and cooperative manner to minimize where possible the costs of bibliographic control, but both the Library of Congress and library administrators generally must recognize that they need to identify and allocate (or, as appropriate, reallocate) sufficient funding if they are serious about attaining the goals of improved and expanded bibliographic control. The recommendations in this report fall into five general categories: (1) Increase the efficiency of bibliographic production for all libraries; (2) Transfer effort into higher-value activity; (3) Position our technology for the future; (4) Position our community for the future; and (5) Strengthen the library profession.

T1  - Multi-residue analysis of pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous samples.
AN  - 70153200; 18054788
AB  - Pharmaceutical compounds are nowadays an emerging group of organic pollutants in aquatic systems. Several methodologies have already been published to measure these pollutants in the environment, showing the difficulties to take into account the various compounds belonging to numerous therapeutical and chemical groups. In order to develop environmental monitoring, there is a need for a less costly and time-consuming multi-component procedure. The work presented here deals with the development of an extraction procedure which enables the measurement of a wide spectrum of pharmaceuticals at trace levels (ng 1(-1)) with quite simple equipment (i.e. GC-MS with single quadruple as analyzer). The analyzed compounds comprise anti-inflammatories, antidepressants and hypolipidic drugs. The reliability and sensitivity have been tested on 18 different compounds (7 basic compounds and 11 acidic drugs) extracted simultaneously and analyzed by GC-MS. The optimized procedure has been successfully applied to the analysis of wastewaters, surface waters and drinking waters from the following areas: first the Cortiou rocky inlet, in the Mediterranean Sea (South coast of France), highly impacted by the Marseilles wastewater treatment plant effluent and secondly the Hérault watershed by studying drinking water, surface water and wastewater. In both cases, the level of pharmaceuticals was totally unknown. Results obtained have demonstrated the suitability of the method for multi-residue analysis of different types of water matrices.

T1  - Genetic polymorphisms of human cytosol glutathione S-transferases and prostate cancer.
AN  - 70166946; 18154451
AB  - Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in the metabolism of a wide range of carcinogenic chemicals. In humans, cytosol GSTs are divided into eight classes: alpha (GSTA), mu (GSTM), pi (GSTP), theta (GSTT), tau (GSTZ), sigma (GSTS), omicron (GSTO) and kappa (GSTK). The allelic polymorphism of these enzymes is associated with variations in enzyme activity; hence, it may affect the concentration of activated carcinogenic chemicals in the body. In addition to the metabolism of chemical carcinogens, GSTs metabolize steroid hormones, compounds in the diet and other agents potentially involved in prostate carcinogenesis. Three genetic polymorphisms of GSTs, GSTM1*0 (null), GSTT1*0 (null) and GSTP1 A313G, have been well documented. No consistent associations between GSTM1, GSTT1 or GSTP1 genotypes and prostate cancer have been observed. Recent meta-analysis reports show that these polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 are unlikely to be major determinants of susceptibility to prostate cancer.

T1  - Gene trap mutagenesis in mice: new perspectives and tools in cancer research.
AN  - 70152668; 17877761
AB  - The complete human DNA sequence of the human genome was published in 2004 and we entered the postgenomic era. However, many studies showed that gene function is much more complex than we expected, and that mutation of disease genes does not give any clue for molecular mechanisms for disease development. Since the first report on gene knockout mice in 1989, knockout mice have been shown to be a powerful tool for functional genomics and for the dissection of developmental processes in human diseases. In accordance with this successful application of knockout mice, three major mouse knockout programs are now underway worldwide, to mutate all protein-encoding genes in mouse embryonic stem cells using a combination of gene trapping and gene targeting. We developed the exchangeable gene trap method suitable for large scale mutagenesis in mice. In this method we can produce null mutation and post-insertional modification, enabling replacement of the marker gene with a gene of interest and conditional knockout. We herein discuss the effect of this gene-driven type approach for cancer research, especially for finding the genes that are related to cancer, but are paid little attention in hypothesis-driven cancer research.

T1  - The impact of alum coagulation on the character, biodegradability and disinfection by-product formation potential of reservoir natural organic matter (NOM) fractions.
AN  - 69654210; 18845853
AB  - Natural Organic Matter (NOM) from Myponga Reservoir, South Australia, was separated into four organic fractions based on their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties using a sequence of non-ionic and ionic resins. NOM fractions were isolated for the purpose of determining the impact of alum coagulation on removal of these fractions in conventional water treatment, and their potential as precursors in the formation of disinfection by-products (DBP) and in supporting microbial growth. The NOM comprised VHA (very hydrophobic acids), SHA (slightly hydrophobic acids), CHA (charged hydrophilics) and NEU (neutral hydrophilics) fractions. These fractions were then jar tested with alum using low (50 mg/L), operational (100 mg/L) and very high (200 mg/L) doses to assess the removal capacities for these fractions in a conventional treatment plant. High-performance size exclusion chromatography-UV-DOC (HPSEC-UV-DOC) revealed that alum removed more of the hydrophobic and higher molecular weight components of NOM, but less of the NEU fraction and lower molecular weight components of NOM. Determination of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) indicated that the NEU fraction had the highest biodegradability, followed by the CHA, SHA and VHA fractions. The VHA fraction had the highest total-trihalomethane formation potential (t-THMFP), followed by NEU, SHA and CHA. The NOM not removed by alum coagulation had the potential to support microbial growth (NEU fraction), and disinfection by-product (DBP) formation (VHA and NEU fractions). To obtain treated water with lower overall residual NOM, other treatment methods would need to be applied in addition to alum coagulation in order to reduce the concentration of the neutral fraction.

T1  - Identifying common traits among Australian irrigators using cluster analysis.
AN  - 69472684; 18725725
AB  - In Australia there is a growing awareness that the over-allocation of water entitlements to irrigators needs to be reduced so that environmental flow allocations can be increased. This means that some water will need to be acquired from irrigators and returned to the environment. Most current water reform policies assume that irrigators are solely motivated by profit and will be willing sellers of water, but this might be an untenable approach. Authorities will need to consider new ways of encouraging the participation of irrigators in water reform. The main aim of this research was to identify the non-commercial influences acting on irrigators' behaviour, especially the influence of the values that they hold toward family, land, water, community and lifestyle. The study also aimed to investigate whether it is possible to group irrigators according to these values and then use the groupings to describe how these might affect their willingness to participate in environmental reforms. We clustered the irrigators into three groups with differing orientations; (i) Investors [25%]-profit oriented, (ii) Lifestylers [25%]-lifestyle oriented, (iii) Providers [50%]-family-succession oriented. This research indicates that when designing policy instruments to acquire water for environmental purposes policy-makers should pay more attention to the factors influencing irrigators' decision making, especially non-commercial factors.

T1  - Understanding road surface pollutant wash-off and underlying physical processes using simulated rainfall.
AN  - 69207295; 18469396
AB  - Pollutant wash-off is one of the key pollutant processes that detailed knowledge is required in order to develop successful treatment design strategies for urban stormwater. Unfortunately, current knowledge relating to pollutant wash-off is limited. This paper presents the outcomes of a detailed investigation into pollutant wash-off on residential road surfaces. The investigations consisted of research methodologies formulated to overcome the physical constraints due to the heterogeneity of urban paved surfaces and the dependency on naturally occurring rainfall. This entailed the use of small road surface plots and artificially simulated rainfall. Road surfaces were selected due to its critical importance as an urban stormwater pollutant source. The study results showed that the influence of initially available pollutants on the wash-off process was limited. Furthermore, pollutant wash-off from road surfaces can be replicated using an exponential equation. However, the typical version of the exponential wash-off equation needs to be modified by introducing a non dimensional factor referred to as 'capacity factor' CF. Three rainfall intensity ranges were identified where the variation of CF can be defined. Furthermore, it was found that particulate density rather than size is the critical parameter that influences the process of pollutant wash-off.

AN  - 66681834; 19162843
AB  - Enzymes are essential for the catalysis of biochemical reactions and in the regulation of metabolic pathways. They function by greatly accelerating the rate of specific chemical reactions that would otherwise be slow. It has been shown that extremely low-power microwaves can influence enzyme activity [1-5]. This study is focused at investigating the effects of low level microwave exposures ranging from 500MHz to 900MHz on L-Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activity. The results obtained revealed the increased bioactivity of the LDH upon microwave radiation at two particular frequencies 500MHz and 900MHz.

T1  - Pi Division and Addition
AN  - 62000513; EJ802694
AB  - The number Pi (approximately 3.14159) is defined to be the ratio C/d of the circumference (C) to the diameter (d) of any given circle. In particular, Pi measures the circumference of a circle of diameter d = 1. Historically, the Greek mathematician Archimedes found good approximations for Pi by inscribing and circumscribing many-sided polygons about this circle, and calculating their perimeters. Since Pi stands for an infinite decimal, for practical purposes it is useful to find fractions which have a value close to Pi. In this article, the author presents several examples of Pi division and addition problems.

T1  - Using Geoboards in Primary Mathematics: Going...Going...Gone?
AN  - 62000493; EJ802704
AB  - Invented by English mathematician and pedagogist, Caleb Gattegno (1911-1988), the geoboard was designed as a manipulative tool for teaching primary geometry in schools (Williams, 1999). Traditionally made out of plywood and nails, geoboards today are usually made out of plastic and come in a variety of different sizes and colours. Rubber bands are placed around the nails or pegs to form different shapes. As a learning tool, it provides a means to act upon the world and can be used as a cognitive scaffold that facilitates the extension of knowledge. In this article, the author reminds everyone of geoboards and asks whether or not they still have a place in today's classroom. She concludes that, overall, geoboards have the potential to develop students' understandings in the mathematical strands of measurement, space and geometry. This learning can be further enhanced when students, under the guidance of their teacher, have the opportunity to engage in the hands-on experience of using geoboards, followed up by the more abstract experiences accessible through technology. Geoboards should not be forgotten in the mathematics classroom, but like other tools, should be used to engage students and facilitate their learning. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)

T1  - The Spirit of Investigation: Modifying Pascal and Fibonacci
AN  - 61995260; EJ802691
AB  - Using investigations in teaching mathematics has for many years become an established feature of most curricula around the world. Investigations can be a vehicle for enabling children to experience the genuine excitement that comes from mathematical discovery. The true spirit of inquiry and investigation lies in the mind-set that continually asks questions about a given situation. The author relates that he was brought back to earth by some of his students when they were discussing these ideas. One of the students commented that topics like Pascal's Triangle, the Fibonacci Sequence, Golden Ratio, etc. must be among the most explored topics in mathematics and are often used for investigations in teaching. How is it possible to come up with any new questions on such topics? An Internet search using Google, for example, gives thousands of hits for each of these phrases. So, what can possibly be left to investigate? In this article, the author provides several examples of modifying Pascal's Triangle and Fibonacci sequence, and illustrates the point that it does not matter how many previous investigations have been conducted, as long as the information that students are investigating is new to them.

T1  - Exploring the Possibilities of Using Tic-Tac-Toe to Think and Communicate about Mathematics
AN  - 61995208; EJ802696
AB  - Doing mathematics, and thinking about how you are doing it at the same time, are not the easiest things to do. It is even more difficult if students are not aware that they should be attempting both processes at the same time. They are likely to concentrate on the immediate task of "doing" the mathematics, rather than trying to access the deeper process. Yet it is this deeper process that is really at the heart of mathematics. In turn, accessing this deeper process requires in part some command of the appropriate rational/logical language so communication with yourself and others can proceed effectively and efficiently. This article discusses the possibilities of using students' explorations of the traditional strategy game "tic-tac-toe," and some extensions, to set up situations for students to discuss and examine this process. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - Ratio Tables to Promote Proportional Reasonings in the Primary Classroom
AN  - 61992803; EJ802702
AB  - There are many classroom activities that can be implemented with primary students that introduce and immerse them in ratio investigations. Some enjoyable tasks include finding the ratio of tongue rollers to non-tongue rollers in the classroom; left-hand dominant to right-hand dominant; right-thumb over left-thumb when clasping the hands to left-thumb over right-thumb, and so on. Children also enjoy looking at body ratios and finding that their foot is the same length as the distance from their wrist to their elbow; that their wrist circumference is half their neck circumference, which is half their head circumference (or near enough), or that their height is almost the same length as their arm-span. However, extending from these investigations to develop understanding of the multiplicative relationship between quantities in a ratio is often difficult as this requires proportional reasoning. The development of proportional reasoning is a gradual process, underpinned by increasingly sophisticated multiplicative thinking and the ability to compare two quantities in relative (multiplicative) rather than absolute (additive) terms. Proportional reasoning as part of the multiplicative field has been identified as a key concept underlying a wide range of topics studied at the middle school level. In this article, the author describes ratio tables and demonstrates how they can be used to support the development of proportional reasoning. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - Using Pedagogical Maps to Show the Opportunities Afforded by CAS for Improving the Teaching of Mathematics
AN  - 61992773; EJ802705
AB  - Pedagogical maps provide a graphic depiction of the way in which teachers exploit the presence of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in their classrooms. They can show differences, and can also show growth, as well as personal preferences and reactions to particular teaching assignments. They might also be used for teachers to reflect on their own practice of teaching with technology and to set goals for expanding their pedagogical repertoires. Highlighting the different pedagogical uses made by the teachers on the pedagogical map gives a visual representation of differences between teaching practices. In this article, the authors describe the practice of three different teachers using CAS in quite different ways. These differences may result from their beliefs about mathematics and the culture they prefer to foster in their classroom. On the other hand it may be a result of their experience or inexperience in teaching with technology, in general, and with CAS, in particular. Just as students need to learn to work effectively with CAS so do teachers need to learn to teach effectively with CAS and avail themselves, and their students, of the opportunities for improved ways of both doing and learning mathematics which CAS may afford.

T1  - Researching the Unit: An Activity to Visualise the Unit
AN  - 61989599; EJ802703
AB  - According to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (1989, 2000), students at all levels should be exposed to geometry and measurement topics. Standards documents have identified the importance of primary school students selecting appropriate units for measurements in one- and two-dimensional space (NCTM 1989, 2000). This paper provides teachers with an overview of the research regarding students' understanding of one- and two-dimensional units and presents an activity that will help students develop a deeper understanding of the meaning of units in various contexts. This paper is guided by the following questions: (1) What does the existing literature say about students' difficulties with understanding the concept of units involved with various measurements?; (2) What activities have been presented in the literature to provide teachers with tools to develop students' understanding of the unit?; and (3) Based on the literature, what is an activity that can be used to develop students' understanding of the unit? An activity that aims to provide students with an experience that will focus their attention on the unit rather than on the measurements they are attempting to calculate is also presented.

T1  - The Mathematics of Sundials
AN  - 61989569; EJ802706
AB  - As early as 3500 years ago, shadows of sticks were used as a primitive instrument for indicating the passage of time through the day. The stick came to be called a "gnomon" or "one who knows." Early Babylonian obelisks were designed to determine noon. The development of trigonometry by Greek mathematicians meant that hour lines could be determined arithmetically rather than by geometry, leading to more sophisticated sundials. In the first century CE, the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius described several types of sundials in his "De Architectura" (Lennox-Boyd, 2006, p. 32), including hemispherical, conical and planar dials. Sundials are often constructed to commemorate special events. The many common designs of sundials, such as vertical, horizontal and analemmatic dials, can all be derived by projections of the basic equatorial dial. In this article, the author shows how trigonometry can be used to calculate the positions of the hour lines for vertical and horizontal sundials, with a particular focus on the mathematics underlying a recently-constructed unique horizontal sundial at Piazza Italia in Melbourne. (Contains 17 figures and 2 tables.)

T1  - Iranian Bilingual Students Reported Use of Language Switching when Doing Mathematics
AN  - 61987803; EJ798608
AB  - Teachers are often unaware that bilingual students often switch between their languages when doing mathematics. Little research has been undertaken into this phenomenon. Results are reported here from a study of language switching by sixteen Year 4/5 Iranian bilingual students as they solved mathematical problems in an interview situation. Reasons given for switching between English and their L1 language (Persian or Farsi) were the difficulty of the problem, familiarity with particular numbers or words they used habitually in Persian, and being in the Persian school or interview environment. It seems likely that these Iranian bilingual students will continue to use some form of language switching to help them understand and complete mathematical tasks in mainstream classrooms.

T1  - Learning Environments Using Interactive Whiteboards: New Learning Spaces or Reproduction of Old Technologies?
AN  - 61987770; EJ798610
AB  - Interactive whiteboards (IWB) are an innovation that is gaining considerable presence in many contemporary classrooms. This paper examines the use of IWBs in mathematics classrooms. Using a productive pedagogies framework to analyse classroom videos, it is proposed that the classrooms observed used a restricted approach in their use of IWBs. It was found that they were used for quick introductions to lessons and whole class teaching. They were also teacher directed and fostered shallow learning. Through interviews with the teachers, it was found that the approaches observed were based on assumptions about learners and technology. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)

T1  - Discovery: Prime Numbers
AN  - 61984474; EJ802693
AB  - Prime numbers are important as the building blocks for the set of all natural numbers, because prime factorisation is an important and useful property of all natural numbers. Students can discover them by using the method known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes, named after the Greek geographer and astronomer who lived from c. 276-194 BC. Eratosthenes was also famous for being the first to scientifically calculate the Earth's circumference, which he did correctly to within 80 km. In this article, the author illustrates Eratosthenes' method for obtaining the primes. (Contains 1 figure.)

AB  - This paper reports on the development and use of a classroom observation reflection tool designed to measure the extent to which pedagogies acknowledged in the literature as contributing to effective teaching of mathematics for numeracy are present in classrooms. The observation schedule was used in conjunction with a record of classroom activity to examine numeracy pedagogies in a sample of Tasmanian classrooms from Kindergarten to Year 7. Low levels of intellectual challenge in highly socially supportive classrooms were typical. (Contains 4 tables.)

T1  - The Lutterloh Dress Patterns: An Unexpected Application of Polar Co-Ordinates
AN  - 61983362; EJ802709
AB  - In this article, the author describes the Lutterloh method of making dress patterns, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. The underlying principle involves the modification of basic designs and it is claimed that it provides better fits for women of different sizes and shapes than do other commercially available patterns. The method is marketed via classes conducted on a commercial basis and makes use of kits sold at these classes. Each kit comprises a set of basic patterns together with specially modified tape measures and various other items. The Lutterloh method is discussed in order to enable an appreciation of the underlying mathematics involved, which is an application of polar co-ordinate axes plotted on a curve. (Contains 1 table.)

T1  - Towards a Constructivist Pedagogy for Year 12 Mathematics
AN  - 61983324; EJ802711
AB  - Constructivist pedagogies are generally not considered to support the teaching of mathematics for externally assessed examination-based courses. In large part, teachers have believed that such approaches are inefficient in covering a set syllabus. This article summarises the author's learning journey in Year 12 mathematics in 2004 where attempts were made to use constructivist and inquiry based approaches. Furthermore, the author presents a table wherein he contrasts his former and current teaching practices. In developing an understanding of these practices and the changes that have evolved he uses a series of explicit beliefs statements about his role in the classroom, which he has categorised as follows: (1) syllabus content; (2) accountability; (3) teaching practices; (4) engagement; (5) results; (6) authority; and (7) relationships. Through contrasting his former and current beliefs and pedagogical practices, he articulates how his current beliefs connect with his current pedagogical practices, the Australian Science and Mathematics School (ASMS) teaching and learning principles, and constructivist approaches to learning.

T1  - The Function Concept in Middle-Years Mathematics
AN  - 61983148; EJ802698
AB  - In this article, the author focuses on possible ways to develop the concepts of joint variation and function through the upper primary and lower secondary years of education. The examples demonstrate the building of a range of important mathematical ideas by modelling life-related situations using students' informal and intuitive knowledge. Over several years, ideas such as dependency, continuity, gradient, and function can be gradually formalised. Students are modelling life-related situations with functional relationships and representing the relationships in a variety of forms--tables, graphs, equations--and in everyday language. As students work with more complex functions, the need for syntactic manipulations of terms in symbolic equations arises and can be introduced in the context of the situation being modelled. Students can also be introduced to the use of technology in the forms of graphics calculators, CAS calculators, and spreadsheets as they work with functional models.

T1  - Reflections on Symmetry and Proof
AN  - 61983115; EJ802710
AB  - The concept of symmetry is fundamental to mathematics. Arguments and proofs based on symmetry are often aesthetically pleasing because they are subtle and succinct and non-standard. This article uses notions of symmetry to approach the solutions to a broad range of mathematical problems. It responds to Krutetskii's criteria for mathematical ability as well as the outcomes which guide the Extensions 1 & 2 Mathematics courses of the Board of Studies NSW. For Krutetskii (1976, pp. 84-88), mathematical ability is seen in terms of a student's ability (1) to formalise; (2) to symbolise; (3) to generalise; (4) to carry out sequential deductive logic; (5) to syncopate or to curtail logic or argument; (6) to reverse logical thinking or find the converse; (7) to be flexible in mathematical methods used; (8) to conceptualise spatially; and (9) to develop before puberty a "mathematical mind." Students with high ability or high potential in mathematics enjoy and express these abilities in a way which is markedly and qualitatively differentiated from the ability of typical age peers, and which is measurable in their ability to solve problems. Here, the author presents mathematical problems and their solutions which are intended to illustrate "Krutetskii's abilities." The solutions to the problems present arguments using various aspects of the fundamental concept of symmetry: rotational symmetry, reflection (in several senses of the word), the symmetry of proportion, symmetry in an abstract sense (for example, in the conics problem), and asymmetry. The cognitive abilities called on in these arguments involve each of Krutetskii's "mathematical abilities." (Contains 11 figures.)

T1  - Real and Relevant Mathematics: Is It Realistic in the Classroom?
AN  - 61982277; EJ802699
AB  - Combating the perception of many adults and children that mathematics is difficult, irrelevant and not for them is a major task for teachers and one that is not easily achieved. Attempts to place mathematics in real-life situations or to use contexts to alleviate the apparent separation of school mathematics and out-of-school mathematics have been only partially successful. If children can experience real mathematics that engages them by connecting with their interests of the moment, and also work with purposeful activities that bring together mathematical skills and knowledge that they have, then there may be a better chance that children will become engaged and experience success in mathematics. In this article, the author reminds the readers what real and relevant mathematics means to children and outlines how teachers can plan purposeful activities and provide relevant contexts in the classroom.

T1  - Students' Conceptual Understanding and Critical Thinking: A Case for Concept Maps and Vee-Diagrams in Mathematics Problem Solving
AN  - 61981268; EJ802692
AB  - With the current focus in mathematics education on the importance of developing students' conceptual understanding, fluency with the language of mathematics, critical thinking, and working mathematically, teachers are constantly expected to design challenging and investigative tasks that can engage and motivate students in their learning of mathematics. An integral part of creating exemplary and conducive learning environments in mathematics classrooms is for teachers to be innovative and creative in the ways they teach and assess students. In this paper the author describes concept maps and vee-diagrams and illustrates how these two meta-cognitive tools can be used as viable means of assessing students' conceptual understanding, fluency with the language of mathematics, and critical thinking in problem solving across many disciplinary areas. (Contains 6 figures and 2 tables.)

T1  - Cactus: An Introduction to Regression
AN  - 61981220; EJ802695
AB  - When the author first used "VisiCalc," the author thought it a very useful tool when he had the formulas. But how could he design a spreadsheet if there was no known formula for the quantities he was trying to predict? A few months later, the author relates he learned to use multiple linear regression software and suddenly it all clicked into place: all he needed was a data sample and the regression software would give him a formula and some idea of the limits of accuracy. Spreadsheets and regression both existed long before computers, but they became much more powerful tools in their computer form. In this article, the author presents an activity that will help students learn to use a multiple linear regression software. A brief story of Sir Francis Galston's discovery of regression analysis is also presented. (Contains 7 figures.)

T1  - An Application of Elementary Functions to a Resource Allocation Problem
AN  - 61981173; EJ802708
AB  - In 1998, the West Report on tertiary education considered proposals for changing the proportion of funds given to universities on the basis of two criteria: research and teaching. An article by David Phillips, a former Head of the Higher Education Division of the Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs, on the consequences of implementing these options, appeared in "The Australian" newspaper (West, 1998 & Phillips, 1998). Phillips considered the implications of increasing the total amount allocated to universities for research (called the "research quantum"). Assuming that the totality of funding to the universities for combined teaching and research purposes remained constant, this would have meant that the total allocation to the universities for teaching would have had to decrease. Mathematically, the problem considered by Phillips is one of resource allocation and analysing the changes and their implications when the resource allocation procedure is changed. This paper considers the original problem from a general and mathematical viewpoint, potentially applicable to problems other than the original one considered by Phillips. There is a changing environment in the allocation of resources in public policy, with more emphasis on allocating funds, status or recognition on the basis of specific criteria and performance. Even where the analysis in this paper is not directly applicable to all such problems, the modes of thought used here may illustrate the potential usefulness of mathematical thinking for general issues of public policy and resource allocation.

T1  - Understanding Statistical Variation: A Response to Sharma
AN  - 61980315; EJ802712
AB  - In this article, the author responds to the paper "Exploring pre-service teachers' understanding of statistical variation: Implications for teaching and research" by Sashi Sharma (see EJ779107). In that paper, Sharma described a study "designed to investigate pre-service teachers' acknowledgment of variation in sampling and distribution environments." This author raises issues about one of the two questions presented in Sharma's survey of pre-service teacher education students, contending that there was nothing in the question requiring any assessment of probability. He states that his comments are not meant to detract from the aims and methods of Sharma's paper, but he emphasizes that it is important that students and teachers have a good understanding of the effects of variation, and need to be careful that discussions of variation effects do not lead to other misunderstandings.

T1  - Do Mathematics Textbooks Cultivate Shallow Teaching? Applying the TIMSS Video Study Criteria to Australian Eighth-Grade Mathematics Textbooks
AN  - 61978604; EJ798609
AB  - Australian eighth-grade mathematics lessons were shown by the 1999 TIMSS Video Study to use a high proportion of problems of low procedural complexity, with considerable repetition, and an absence of deductive reasoning. Using definitions from the Video Study, this study re-investigated this "shallow teaching syndrome" by examining the problems on three topics in nine eighth-grade textbooks from four Australian states for procedural complexity, type of solving processes, degree of repetition, proportion of "application" problems and proportion of problems requiring deductive reasoning. Overall, there was broad similarity between the characteristics of problems in the textbooks and in the Australian Video Study lessons. There were, however, considerable differences between textbooks and between topics within textbooks. In some books, including the best-selling textbooks in several states, the balance is too far towards repetitive problems of low procedural complexity. (Contains 5 tables and 9 figures.)

T1  - Another Angle on Angles
AN  - 61974968; EJ793991
AB  - The impact of written and printed texts on the geometry curriculum has a very long history. Static diagrams, static definitions, and static proofs have dominated the classrooms for centuries. Geometry is about shape and space, and about the relationships between shapes in space. Movement is a key aspect of those relationships, but movement cannot be shown in a printed text book, so it is relegated to a minor role in the primary mathematics curriculum. One area where print has had a particularly significant effect is in the teaching and learning of the concept of angle. An angle is a measure of turn. It is a measure of movement, not a shape. In this article, the author describes a dynamic approach used to develop the concept of angle as a measure of turn. (Contains 11 figures.)

T1  - Integration: Reversing Traditional Pedagogy
AN  - 61973345; EJ819412
AB  - A derivative is the limit of a quotient. It is an abstraction of division. Since division is harder to understand than multiplication, teachers teach it later, hopefully only after a sound understanding of multiplication has been attained. For the same reason, it may make sense to teach integration first, and move on to differential calculus only after a sound understanding of integration has been attained. In this article, the author shares how he initially teach integrals before derivatives in his calculus unit. Later, it dawned on him that a reversal of the order of his teaching method could have educational advantages for the teaching of calculus generally. Here, he describes how his unit was structured.

AN  - 61973306; EJ819410
AB  - Calculus at the secondary school level has traditionally represented the peak of school mathematics in Australia, and has been available only to the most capable students. Until recently, many calculus curricula have focused on developing standard techniques, such as those concerned with differentiation and integration, with an emphasis on symbolic procedures for carrying these out in a range of situations. These characteristics have sometimes been inadvertently reinforced by external assessment agencies. This paper is concerned with exploring the possible ways in which one kind of technology, the graphics calculator, might be productively used by calculus students and their teachers. The paper provides an analysis to describe some affordances provided by graphics calculators: opportunities for significant changes to the teaching and learning of calculus. It is recognized that access to such affordances is not by itself sufficient to bring about changes in practice. However, the paper provides an outline of the main possibilities offered by the calculator, with some examples to illustrate these. (Contains 20 figures.)

T1  - A Literature Review of Pedagogical Research on Mathematical Induction
AN  - 61972253; EJ819415
AB  - Many students experience considerable difficulties when they learn and then attempt to construct and communicate proofs of conjectures using the principle of mathematical induction. Although research on the pedagogy of mathematical induction has gained only occasional attention since the 1970s, there has been an increasing interest in this field of study in the past 10 years. In order to facilitate pedagogical research on the principle of mathematical induction and its place in the curriculum, Avital and Libeskind (1978) organized the difficulties with mathematical induction into three categories: technical, mathematical and conceptual. Accordingly, this literature review uses these categories to discuss the pedagogical issues with respect to mathematical induction.

T1  - Using Spreadsheets to Make Algebra More Accessible. Part 1: Equations and Functions
AN  - 61971097; EJ818770
AB  - Some might argue that the true ability to think, perceive, and analyse mathematically is the ability to solve problems. Others might say that it has more to do with advanced applications of procedures in particular contexts. The author would like to put a slightly different spin on this by viewing it, at least partly, in terms of one's ability to use understanding in one concept to bridge understanding into another. The making of such connections will help to make the teaching and learning of mathematics more interesting and more attainable, especially for those who might struggle with the discipline. This article is the first in a series of two papers that attempts to address such an idea. The aim of these articles is to give teachers some practical, spreadsheet-based ideas for helping students make appropriate connections between particular algebraic concepts, in order to understand, through a contemporary context, some of the processes by which mathematics develops.

T1  - Trigonometry from a Different Angle
AN  - 61970795; EJ790574
AB  - The mathematics methodology subjects the author undertook in the early 1980s encouraged him to adopt a very expository style of teaching in which each new concept is introduced by its formal definition. The teacher should then explain a few carefully chosen examples for students to copy into their books, and then provide plenty of graded practice exercises from the textbook for students to complete. It is what Mitchelmore (2000) calls the ABC approach: where abstract definitions are taught before any concrete examples are considered. So, for many years, his teaching of trigonometry in Year 9 began with exercises in identifying opposite and adjacent sides in right-angled triangles, definitions of the trigonometric ratios and the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA, then lots of work on calculating unknown sides and angles, all devoid of any realistic context. Finally, right at the end of the topic, he gave the class some word problems involving applications like angles of elevation and compass bearings. It was only when he undertook further study some years later and was exposed to alternative ways of thinking about the nature of mathematics and its pedagogy that he began to reassess his classroom practice. In this article, the author outlines briefly some of the elements of his new approach and how he developed them. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - Conjecture Activities for Comprehending Statistics Terms through Speculations on the Functions of Imaginary Spectrometers
AN  - 61970120; EJ818742
AB  - The purpose of this study was to describe students' problem solving performance when they make conjectures to comprehend three statistics terms. Teachers are key figures in changing the ways in which mathematics is taught and learned in schools. Mathematics teachers are supposed to design meaningful tasks to motivate students' interest and to enhance students' communication and reasoning. Within various contexts, if meaningful tasks are designed for students to work on, then students should benefit more from those contexts of problem solving. For example, in this unit for learning three statistics terms, i.e., median, mode and range, the authors provided opportunities for students to conjecture, verify, and modify their rules rather than directly telling them the rules to find those three statistics terms. Such a learning process might result in better student performance. (Contains 6 figures.)

T1  - Mathematics through Movement: An Investigation of the Links between Kinaesthetic and Conceptual Learning
AN  - 61969437; EJ793993
AB  - Developing strategies for engaging mathematics activities is always a challenge. Teachers seek out new resources and online activities to excite students and support their learning. Mathematics through Movement offers an active learning strategy requiring few resources, and a bit of imagination, to achieve a variety of outcomes across mathematics domains. It is based on sound educational theory and a lifetime of experience in dance. This paper examines the beginnings of research into this teaching strategy in a remote setting in Western Australia. It shows that this teaching tool can motivate talk, deepen understandings, and engage students in mathematics tasks. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1  - Eye Colour and Reaction Time: An Opportunity for Critical Statistical Reasoning
AN  - 61969278; EJ818746
AB  - This author was surprised to read a short article in "The Mercury" newspaper in Hobart about blue-eyed people being more intelligent and brown-eyed people having faster reaction times. Such an article invites immediate scepticism from the statistically literate. The lack of data in the article should lead the interested reader to a search for further information, most likely through an Internet search. Although the first claim might be considered too contentious for investigation in the classroom, the second one about brown eyes and reaction times seems quite harmless and could provide considerable motivation for data collection and analysis to confirm or refute the claim. This article progresses through the steps that could be followed in a middle school classroom to explore the question and develop critical statistical reasoning skills. Students should first consider their initial reaction to the claims in the article and what questions they would like to have answered before accepting the claims. Second, students should undertake as much research on the topic as possible, probably through the Internet. Next students have the opportunity to collect data from their own class and see what their sample suggests about the claim. Finally students can collect larger random samples, such as from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) "CensusAtSchool" website to check out the eye colour and reaction time claim. All of these steps should then contribute to a report that supplies evidence for and/or against the claim and reaches a tentative conclusion about its validity. (Contains 14 figures and 4 footnotes.)

T1  - Proportion in Middle-School Mathematics: It's Everywhere
AN  - 61969003; EJ818727
AB  - Proportional thinking is the mathematical basis of a wide range of topics in the middle-school mathematics curriculum. While the concept is obvious in the traditionally-named ratio and proportion sections, proportional thinking is also the key to such diverse topics as rate, gradient of a linear function, similarity, trigonometry and percentage, to name but a few. The separation of topics and the lack of focus on the underlying structures of concepts are key problems in the presentation of mathematics to students. In his "Principles for the Design of Teaching", Alan Bell (1993) discussed the idea of "structure and context". This principle highlights the need to help students to see that the same mathematical structures can occur in different contexts. If the structure is recognized in a new context, then solution methods similar to those used previously can be applied to the new context. In this article, the authors first outline ways of working in proportional situations and then demonstrate how similar solution methods for problems based on proportion can be adopted in a range of contexts. The authors argue that "proportion" is not really a topic in its own right, but rather the concept underlying a wide range of topics.

T1  - Using Questioning to Stimulate Mathematical Thinking
AN  - 61968944; EJ818867
AB  - Good questioning techniques have long been regarded as a fundamental tool of effective teachers and research has found that "differences in students' thinking and reasoning could be attributed to the type of questions that teachers asked" (Wood, 2002). Past research shows that 93% of teacher questions were "lower order" knowledge-based questions focusing on recall of facts. Research continues to show that teachers ask few questions that encourage children to use higher order thinking skills in mathematics (Sullivan & Clarke, 1990). Many primary teachers have already developed considerable skill in good questioning techniques in curriculum areas such as literacy and social studies, but do not transfer these skills to mathematics. Teachers' instincts often tell them that they should use investigational mathematics more often in their teaching, but they are sometimes disappointed with the outcomes when they try it. There are two common reasons for this. One is that the children are inexperienced in this approach, find it difficult to accept responsibility for the decision-making required, and need a lot of practice to develop organised or systematic approaches. The other reason is that the teachers have yet to develop a questioning style that guides, supports, and stimulates the children without removing the responsibility for problem-solving from the children. In this article, the author presents some approaches that can be used by teachers to scaffold children's mathematical investigations through utilising a hierarchy of questions. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)

T1  - "But What about the Oneths?" A Year 7 Student's Misconception about Decimal Place Value
AN  - 61968897; EJ818771
AB  - The key to understanding the development of student misconceptions is to ask students to explain their thinking. Time constraints of classroom teaching make it difficult to consult with each and every individual student about their thought processes. However, when a particular error keeps surfacing, simply marking the response as incorrect will not assist the student. A two-minute conversation can help a student's mathematical understanding. In this article, the author describes a misconception about decimal place value she identified from the examination response of a Year 7 student. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - You Could Never Find This in a Shop!: Using Measurement Skills to Make Pencil Cases
AN  - 61968253; EJ793994
AB  - Measurement is a mathematics skill students encounter often in their daily lives. The act of measuring involves the use of concrete, hands-on materials that students find engaging and appealing. According to Martinie (2004), the best way to teach measurement "is to find or create situations in which students need to measure and let them experience this process." Preston and Thompson (2004) concur that "the most fundamental aspect of measurement is the act of measuring.". In this article, the authors provide an insight into a Grade 5 classroom where students were involved in a real-world project that enhanced their measurement skills. The authors state that, when elementary age children are presented with measurement activities as something they can engage in rather than simply watch, the experience for them provides involvement and enjoyment, along with the practice of standard measuring skills necessary in everyday life.

T1  - Dialogue and Feedback: Assessment in the Primary Mathematics Classroom
AN  - 61967307; EJ818866
AB  - Educational assessment consists of two aspects. First, the "size" of the learning that has occurred in which summative assessment of learning aims to measure. Second, the "quality" of learning, which is better situated in the classroom, where teachers make judgements on a day-to-day basis about what their students know and can do. This kind of consideration is known as "formative" assessment and both teachers and students should change what they do as a result. Systems acknowledge the importance of classroom-based assessment and there is a plethora of advice for teachers about "assessment for learning" (Assessment Reform Group, 1999). Despite the many publications, projects and studies, however, assessing the quality of mathematical learning remains elusive, and formative assessment has not delivered the promised improvements (Stiggins, 2007). In essence, successful teaching and learning is about dialogue and feedback. In this article, the author illustrates the importance of establishing productive dialogue with students in order to build on their existing understandings. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - Encouraging Mathematical Thinking through Pattern & Structure: An Intervention in the First Year of Schooling
AN  - 61967263; EJ818865
AB  - Virtually all mathematics is based on pattern and structure. A mathematical "pattern" is any predictable regularity, usually involving numbers or space. In every pattern, the various elements are organised in some regular fashion. The way a pattern is organised is called its "structure," which may be numerical or spatial. In this article, the authors report on a teaching intervention aimed at developing young children's understanding of pattern and structure. They found that using an approach known as the "Pattern and Structure Mathematics Awareness Program" (PASMAP) facilitates the teaching and learning of isolated skills and enables the early abstraction and generalisation of ideas for young children in a way that promotes deep mathematical thinking.

T1  - Where Is the Rate in the Rule?
AN  - 61966060; EJ819411
AB  - A well-developed understanding of rate is foundational to conceptual understanding of introductory calculus. Many students achieve procedural competence with the application of rules for differentiation without developing an awareness of the connection between derivative and rate. In addition, rate-related reasoning is needed to make informed decisions in many everyday applications of rate. This paper reports on additional data collected during interviews for a project investigating the different ways rate may be experienced by pre-calculus students. Many researchers have suggested that the conceptual understanding of function may be enhanced through the presentation and exploration of multiple representations of a variety of functions. In this paper, one section of each interview is considered in detail to evaluate the participants' understanding in a specific rate context. Participants were asked to discuss a dynamic geometry simulation of a blind on two different windows, one rectangular and the other not. Detailed analysis of the video-record of each participant's interview provides insights into their perceptions of rate in several different representations. This paper describes the conceptual framework, provides details of the interviews and the computer-based simulation, and discusses the analysis of the data. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - Tangrams and Constraint-Based Geometry
AN  - 61965693; EJ790573
AB  - Tangrams have sometimes been used as an extension activity intended only to keep faster students busy while others finished essential desk-work. Without adequate introduction, many find that tangrams are just an open-ended form of a jigsaw puzzle. Happily teachers have discovered that games provide an effective introduction to a new topic. In the case of tangrams, students are likely to learn more from their construction than from playing with the finished product. This article describes how students can construct tangrams within a constraint-based geometric (CBG) environment, thereby learning much more than might be gained using scissors and cardboard, while at the same time learning to use the CBG system. The examples used here were constructed using a ClassPad 300 but might just as easily be developed using the Windows-based software package "Geometry Expressions."

T1  - Problem Solving in Calculus with Symbolic Geometry and CAS
AN  - 61964393; EJ819414
AB  - Computer algebra systems (CAS) have been around for a number of years, as has dynamic geometry. Symbolic geometry software is new. It bears a superficial similarity to dynamic geometry software, but differs in that problems may be set up involving symbolic variables and constants, and measurements are given as symbolic expressions. Mathematical expressions can be copied back and forth between a symbolic geometry system and a CAS thus making it an interesting new tool for exploring mathematics and solving problems. In this paper, the authors illustrate the use of a symbolic geometry system applied to two classic optimisation problems, both drawn from "100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics". The first problem, "Regiomontanus' Optimisation Problem", is suitable for students at the upper secondary level. The second, "Fagnano's Perimeter Minimisation Problem", does involve some partial derivatives, and so would be more suitable for students at tertiary level. Their symbolic geometry system is "Geometry Expressions" (Saltire Software, 2008). In order to illustrate the flexibility of the CAS interface, in the first problem the authors use "Mathematica" (Wolfram Research, 2008), and in the second problem, they use "Maple" (Maplesoft, 2008).

T1  - A Historical Perspective on Teaching and Learning Calculus
AN  - 61964336; EJ819409
AB  - Calculus is one of those topics in mathematics where the algorithmic manipulation of symbols is easier than understanding the underlying concepts. Around 1680 Leibniz invented a symbol system for calculus that codifies and simplifies the essential elements of reasoning. The calculus of Leibniz brings within the reach of an ordinary student problems that once required the ingenuity of an Archimedes or a Newton. One can mechanically "ride" the syntax of the notation without needing to think through the semantics. Calculus education typically has a strong routine aspect, focusing on methods for differentiation and integration without justifying these methods, since current teaching practice barely has time to discuss the underlying concepts. A question for the design of a teaching trajectory that focuses on ways to support the understanding of the underlying concepts is: How can students invent this? It is useful to look at the history of a topic to gain insight into this issue, to investigate concept development, and to analyze how and why people tried to organize certain phenomena without having any notion yet about the basic principles of calculus. In this paper, the authors will first review some highlights in the history of calculus. This review will lead into recommendations for an instructional sequence on calculus. The authors conclude with a plea for historical reflections in mathematics education as a method for changing routine-oriented practices. (Contains 5 figures.)

T1  - It's about Time: Difficulties in Developing Time Concepts
AN  - 61963852; EJ793995
AB  - For years, students have become frustrated with the task of learning to tell time, and teachers have become frustrated at not fully understanding why this task is such a difficult one . The concepts of time include point of time ("measured" or labelled by clocks, and calendars), and durations (measuring elapsed time)--abstract ideas about the nature of time as a flowing direction. Beyond that, most of the experiences with time in the school curriculum involve labelling, scale-conversions (e.g., minutes into seconds, minutes into hours, etc.), and translating or interpreting the use of these labels in different contexts. In this article, the author examines some of the difficulties students experience with the concept of time and the telling of time. She states that, while the teaching strategies and activities currently offered by the Mathematics Developmental Continuum do not adequately address student difficulties, they do provide a starting point for teachers to consider possible strategies to support students challenged by these difficulties.

T1  - Early Spatial Thinking and the Development of Number Sense
AN  - 61962720; EJ818864
AB  - Number sense has been recognised as central to young children's development of mathematics for a number of decades. A student with a "good" sense of number normally has a thorough understanding of relationships among numbers and operations--being able flexibly to partition and combine numbers in convenient ways to allow appropriate estimations and mental calculations to be made. Components of number sense also include a facility with basic facts, an understanding of place value, the ability to use meaningful benchmarks or referents for numbers (such as 0.48 is nearly 1/2), and an understanding of the relative and absolute magnitude of numbers. This article shows how young children's spatial structuring abilities can contribute to an emerging sense of number through a collection of activities that may encourage the parallel development of children's spatial and number sense.

T1  - The Ubiquitous Parabola
AN  - 61962628; EJ818726
AB  - Parabolic shapes are easy to find. Many homes outside the cable area have parabolic antennas to receive television transmissions from a satellite far out in space. Parabolic extrusions are used as reflectors behind fluorescent tubes and solar heated water pipes. Parabolic reflectors are used to build solar ovens, searchlights and radio telescopes. This article presents two work sheets: the first is designed for use with "Cabri Geometry" to study the parabola as a conic section and the second presents a similar construction for a circular paraboloid using "Cabri 3D." Both models show clearly that the parabolic locus will reflect incoming rays, that are parallel to the line of symmetry, back through the focus. This article also illustrates a use of the two "Cabri" products to study a 2D object before considering its 3D equivalent. "Cabri 3D V2" now allows one to insert measurements, equations and coordinates. It also allows one to trace the trajectory of a point or curve.

T1  - Illustrating Sampling Distribution of a Statistic: Minitab Revisited
AN  - 61960386; EJ790572
AB  - Understanding the concept of the sampling distribution of a statistic is essential for the understanding of inferential procedures. Unfortunately, this topic proves to be a stumbling block for students in introductory statistics classes. In efforts to aid students in their understanding of this concept, alternatives to a lecture-based mode of instruction have been introduced in the literature with some of these approaches using in-class activities, simulations using statistical software, and web-based applets. In this article, the use of statistical software, for the purpose of illustrating sampling distributions, is revisited through the use of Minitab macros, an approach that has not been observed in the literature. The result is a user-friendly way for students in introductory statistics classes to explore the concept of the sampling distribution of a statistic. Although the focus of this article will be on the sampling distribution, the methods described here are applicable to instruction of other statistical concepts. including confidence intervals and power.

T1  - Differentiation from First Principles Using Spreadsheets
AN  - 61960247; EJ819413
AB  - In the teaching of calculus, the algebraic derivation of the derivative (gradient function) enables the student to obtain an analytic "global" gradient function. However, to the best of this author's knowledge, all current technology-based approaches require the student to obtain the derivative (gradient) at a single point by implementing differentiation using first principles. This paper shows that the ability of spreadsheets to fit a polynomial to a set of discrete (x,y) points enables students to not just evaluate a gradient at a single point, but at a whole family of points, thus generating the analytic global gradient function of secants without doing any algebraic manipulations. Students can then perform "numerical experiments" to see the effect of taking the limit as the secants tend to tangents of the original function. Finally, students can derive the rules for differentiation through exploration and experimentation, again, without doing any algebraic manipulations. This approach enables the class to focus on the concepts being taught, rather than being hindered by the mechanics of (for example) trying to factorize a cubic polynomial.

T1  - Conducting a Mathematics Camp for Girls & Other Mathematics Enthusiasts
AN  - 61959746; EJ818772
AB  - Throughout much of the world, boys continue to outscore girls on standardized mathematics tests. For example, in most of the 57 countries that participated in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006, boys' performance was significantly higher than girls on the mathematics scale. This fact alone can harm girls' opportunities for competitive scholarships and entry into top colleges, attitudes toward the subject matter and themselves, and participation in mathematics-oriented occupations. Intervention programs are equitable measures for addressing the needs of special populations. They can have successful results in bolstering the knowledge, dispositions, and participation of underrepresented groups in domains in which they are marginalized. In this article, the author describes a mathematics and technology intervention program for middle-grades girls. This description of the Northern Nevada Girls' Math and Technology Camp in the United States provides ideas for conducting other effective out-of-school programs. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - The Power of Concept Fields
AN  - 61958464; EJ790568
AB  - The ability to discover, explore, describe and mathematise relationships between different concepts is at the heart of scientific work of professional mathematicians and scientists. At school level, however, helping students to link, differentiate or investigate the nature of relationships between mathematics concepts remains in the shadow of skills development and the practice of routine problems. It is vital that teachers are able to design curricula that nurture students' understanding of the similarities and differences between mathematics concepts, and to present the subject knowledge in a range of simple ways. The use of visual representations, such as diagrams, tables or graphs, for showing relationships between mathematics concepts, is a common practice in classrooms. The aim of this paper is to introduce a specific visual representation in a tabular form, termed as a concept field, and to illustrate the use of this as a supporting tool for program development, topic planning and assessment design within the mathematics learning area during the years of schooling. In this paper, a type of visually represented structure that blends both the vertical hierarchy of a particular concept development to the skills and understandings associated with key knowledge and applications is used.

The purpose was to help middle school students understand the importance of the parabola shape and its ability to focus parallel rays. The examples demonstrated a use of the two "Cabri" products to study a 2D object before considering its 3D equivalent. This article considers constructions that allow a study of ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas and their 3D equivalents, which are more suitable for senior students .

T1  - Making Mathematics and Science Relevant through Story
AN  - 61952850; EJ790569
AB  - Inquiries into the state of mathematics and science education in Australia express the need to make the curriculum more relevant and meaningful to students' lives. However, such a vision requires that teachers understand how relevance can enter mathematics and science classrooms in meaningful and appropriate ways. This paper uses snippets from classroom practice to explore how six mathematics and/or science teachers attempted to make the subject matter meaningful for their students by presenting a humanised and relevant subject. The paper asks the questions: (1) how is relevance thought of in mathematics as compared with science?; and (2) what problems might this pose for teachers moving between mathematics and science? The attempts of the teachers are referred to as "stories" or "narratives" because it was through discussions about stories that many of these ideas emerged from the teachers. Various qualitative methods were used over eighteen months to periodically observe, video-record and interview six secondary science and/or mathematics teachers. Results indicate that all teachers believed it was important to relate the content matter to students' lives. However, they seemed to approach this issue of relevance differently, both in practice and in their stated beliefs about what it means to teach effectively. Four types of pedagogical approaches were found to be representative of how the teachers recognised what needed to be made meaningful and relevant and how this could be portrayed for students. These were labelled as categories of meaning making. Mathematics and science are presented differently in each category, and the stories serve to focus on different aspects of both the subject matter and the place that this has in students' lives.

T1  - Mathematics in Indigenous Contexts
AN  - 61908511; EJ824761
AB  - From 1999-2005, the Mathematics in Indigenous Contexts (MIC) project was implemented by the Board of Studies, New South Wales (NSW), in conjunction with the NSW Department of Education and Training, and academics from two universities. MIC project members worked with schools and communities at two sites: a primary school in an urban community in western Sydney and both a primary and secondary school in a rural site in western NSW. These two sites were selected because of the significant enrollment of Aboriginal students in the schools. MIC focused on establishing learning teams comprising teachers, Aboriginal educators and local Aboriginal community people to develop contextual, multistage mathematics units that suited the learning needs of the local Aboriginal students. This article reports on the implementation of MIC at the rural site. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - The Co-Development and Interrelation of Proof and Authority: The Case of Yana and Ronit
AN  - 61891464; EJ836442
AB  - Students' mathematical lives are characterized not only by a set of mathematical ideas and the engagement in mathematical thinking, but also by social relations, specifically, relations of authority. Watching student actions and speaking to students, one becomes cognizant of a "web of authority" ever present in mathematics classrooms. In past work, it has been shown how those relations of authority may sometimes interfere with students' reflecting on mathematical ideas. However, "...by shifting the emphasis from domination and obedience to negotiation and consent..." (Amit & Fried, 2005, p.164) it has also been stressed that these relations are fluid and are, in fact, a "sine qua non" in the process of students' defining their place in a mathematical community. But can these fluid relations be operative also in the formation of specific mathematical ideas? It is my contention that they may at least coincide with students' thinking about one significant mathematical idea, namely, the idea of "proof." In this talk, I shall discuss both the general question of authority in the mathematics classroom and its specific connection with students' thinking about proof in the context of work done in two 8th grade classrooms.

It addresses what didactically experienced children, called "didactikids", taught us about the empty number line as a didactical model for teaching whole number calculations. The article mainly reports on a student consultancy study carried out in the Netherlands. The findings are similar to what was revealed in an Australian study. Both studies explain what can go wrong when the number line is applied rigidly and wrongly implemented. (Contains 3 footnotes and 14 figures.)

T1  - Surveying the Technology Landscape: Teachers' Use of Technology in Secondary Mathematics Classrooms
AN  - 61878356; EJ836455
AB  - For many years, education researchers excited by the potential for digital technologies to transform mathematics teaching and learning have predicted that these technologies would become rapidly integrated into every level of education. However, recent international research shows that technology still plays a marginal role in mathematics classrooms. These trends deserve investigation in the Australian context, where over the past 10 years secondary school mathematics curricula have been revised to allow or require use of digital technologies in learning and assessment tasks. This paper reports on a survey of mathematics teachers' use of computers, graphics calculators, and the Internet in Queensland secondary schools, and examines relationships between use and teachers' pedagogical knowledge and beliefs, access to technology, and professional development opportunities. Although access to all forms of technology was a significant factor related to use, teacher beliefs and participation in professional development were also influential. Teachers wanted professional development that modelled planning and pedagogy so they could meaningfully integrate technology into their lessons in ways that help students learn mathematical concepts. The findings have implications not only for resourcing of schools, but also for designing professional development that engages teachers with technology in their local professional contexts.

T1  - Transforming Ethnomathematical Ideas in Western Mathematics Curriculum Texts
AN  - 61877812; EJ836422
AB  - When ethnomathematical ideas, that is, the mathematical ideas of different cultural groups, are included in mathematics curriculum texts they can become part of the learning experience in various ways. Once included in western classroom mathematics texts, the ethnomathematical ideas become transformed. The transformations involve changes in form or purpose. The study reported here investigated how indigenous cultural practices are transformed when relocated from their original contexts to the western classroom mathematics curriculum. This paper describes the development of a conceptual model that illustrates five different modes of transformation that may occur when indigenous cultural practices are incorporated in mathematics curriculum texts. To illustrate aspects of the model the paper includes an example concerning the Australian Aboriginal practice of throwing a returning boomerang. The model provides a way for students and teachers to critically reflect on the ways that ethnomathematical ideas become transformed when used in the classroom. An awareness of how cultural practices are transformed may also allow teachers constructing their own curriculum texts to choose the most appropriate modes of transformation.

AN  - 61875840; EJ836443
AB  - Studies such as the Effective Teachers of Numeracy Study (Askew, Brown, Rhodes, Johnson, & Wiliam (1997) have contributed much to our understanding of what constitutes effective teaching of numeracy. This paper aims to build on these findings and to contribute a model that could be used to understand teachers' numeracy practices and the factors that influence these practices. Through a synthesis of the literature, the author has devised a set of principles of practice which encapsulates effective teaching of numeracy and has identified six teacher actions which can be used to enact these principles. Findings from case studies conducted with three teachers indicated that the model provided a useful framework for observing and understanding classroom numeracy practices.

T1  - Equity, Mathematics and Classroom Practice: Developing Rich Mathematical Experiences for Disadvantaged Students
AN  - 61806313; EJ824764
AB  - For many students, the experience of school mathematics is not a positive one. Processes of exclusion operate to disadvantage students along social class, race and gender lines. For students from backgrounds that are not part of the success regime, significant scaffolding by teachers is needed if they are to be successful. In this article, the authors discuss two key factors that shape the learning environments for learning mathematics. The authors also propose a number of features of a more inclusive pedagogy that they believe will work toward more equitable outcomes for all students.

T1  - The Emotionalization of Reflexivity
T2  - International Sociological Association
AN  - 61772973; 2008S00529
AB  - Within reflexive modernization knowledge fails to bring certainty, thus the constant self-reflection & decision making enforced by individualization relies on emotion. The theory that emotion is crucial to reflexivity is evidenced via a discussion of research on couples in distance relationships. This paper illustrates how these couples try to understand how they feel about doing distance, and how others -- including an imaginary cat help them. The analysis suggests that focusing on people's reflexive processes can help sociology better understand the complexity of the social world under conditions of individualization & globalization. It is argued that within such conditions sociality & subjectivity are products of emotional relationality.

T1  - Balai desa: Challenged Sovereignty, Contested Significance
AN  - 61740447; 200935105
AB  - In the 1998 article, "State of Fear: Controlling the Criminal Contagion in Suharto's New Order,' Joshua Barker put forth the argument of 'deterritorialization,' or the transformation of local security by state security organizations such as the satpam and hansip. Nicholas Herriman considered this issue elsewhere, and so in this article he analyses another instance of Barker's idea of deterritorialization--the appropriation of territorial power by the state. He does so based on ethnographic research conducted in Tegalgaring village in Banyuwangi in far-east Java, particularly focusing on the 'balai desa' (village office grounds) in relation to sorcery. It has been appropriated both by local residents in persecuting sorcery suspects and village officials in protecting them. This suggests that Barker's idea of state control is too simple a notion.

T1  - Protecting Older People From Burglary: Prevalence of Security Devices in the Homes of Older Adults in Perth, Western Australia
AN  - 61721359; 200909514
AB  - Fear restricts the activity of older adults, potentially leading to social isolation and unhealthy life styles. Consequently, this population remains a priority for home security research and intervention. One option is to increase home security by installing security devices. However, little is known about how older adults protect their homes. In this study, 5,582 community-dwelling older people completed a cross-sectional survey. The survey was able to document the prevalence of security measures taken by older adults. More than 70% of the respondents had security screens and key-operated deadlocks and 148 (2.7%) respondents reported no security features. Respondents living alone had the lowest prevalence of home security devices. Female living alone protected their home differently iron male living alone by installing different security devices. Logistic regression analysis indicated that older adults living in detached houses feel particularly vulnerable to burglary (p <.001). These survey findings have practical implication for burglary prevention. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Victimology: A Social Science In Waiting?
AN  - 61719307; 200909563
AB  - Victimology was first proposed as a social science in the 1940s during a shift in interest in victims to gain a better understanding of crime. The early victimologists focused on the role that victims played in crime, which resulted in the concept that some victims contribute to, or precipitate, their victimisation. Later victimologists focused on the process of victimisation, including the treatment of victims in the criminal justice system. These and other theoretical perspectives have evolved from data obtained from various investigational techniques, such as victim surveys. As empirical knowledge has evolved so too has the push for victimology to be considered a social science. This paper canvases the debate on whether victimology is a social science. It proposes that victimology cannot be a social science unless victimologists apply a scientific method. This paper also argues that victimology, like other social sciences, cannot employ the pure scientific method associated with the natural sciences but victimologists should be empirical, theoretical and cumulative. As well, it gives an overview of several steps taken by victimologists to raise the status of their fledgling science, including establishing institutes and even proposing a single victim-centred theory. It concludes that victimology has not yet attained the status of a social science but also it is no longer just a sub-discipline of criminology, as it once stood accused.

T1  - Pesantren Seblak of Jombang, East Java: Women's Educational Leadership
AN  - 61676224; 200904972
AB  - The word for an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia is pesantren, though such schools provide much more than general knowledge, especially religious training. While books on pesantren say little about women in leadership roles, over the last century, the schools have had female leaders. This paper examines women's leadership in pesantren, focusing on Pesantren Seblak in Jombang region, East Java. Most of these women, in addition to their abilities, experience, & educational background, have blood ties to kiai, & as such are "agents of change." The history of their leadership since the early 20th century in promoting education, even religious education, for girls is outlined. The early leaders were educated by their parents. This was true of Nyai (female kiai) Khoiriyan, who became the leader of Pesantren Seblak in 1933 & was succeeded by her daughter Nyai Abidah & son-in-law Kiai Machfudz. Girls first enjoyed formal education when they were accepted as students at Pesantren Seblak & a few other schools in Jombang region. What makes Pesantran Seblak unique is the dominance of its female leadership which comprised a number of remarkable & inspiring leaders. S. Stanton. Adapted from the source document.

AB  - The focus of this study of Islamic practices in East Java is on the majlis dhiker (chanting group), whose specific purpose is to chant the various Islamic litanies. This part of Islam has been inadequately studied in Indonesia. It is examined through a case study of Salawat Wahidiyyah chanting group in Pesantren Kedunglo in Kediri. This & other dhiker groups in Indonesia have been criticized for not meeting the established criteria, in terms of specific practices & rituals passed down in a direct line from the Prophet. The author explores the history & development of Salawat Wahidiyyah, noting the dhiker group's significance to the people. Despite the alleged break in its lineage from the Prophet, the Salawat Wahidiyyah provides a means through which Indonesian Muslims can feel close to their Prophet & their God. S. Stanton

AB  - Synopsis This article examines the activism of two London-based women, Harriet Newcomb and Margaret Hodge, who founded and led the British Dominions Woman Suffrage Union from 1914. We show that through the BDWSU and affiliated organizations Newcomb and Hodge promoted the suffrage cause internationally as well as education and social reform in London. Of particular note is the fact that Newcomb and Hodge were aged in their sixties during this time of their frenetic activism. Thus we highlight the importance of their friendships with younger women and socialist feminist networks in supporting them to manage the physical dimensions of the aging process and sustain their political work in the immediate postwar era.

T1  - 'Why doesn't she just leave?': Belonging, disruption and domestic violence
AN  - 61662824; 200814317
AB  - Synopsis From the 1970s, a feminist response to domestic violence in Australia was to assist women to leave their homes to escape domestic violence. In doing so, women's (and their children's) lives and their belongingness to place and to family were disrupted. Indeed, discourses about domestic violence assumed that women's lives would be disrupted. More recently, in Australia, legal and other reforms have allowed for the greater possibility of a woman remaining safely in her own home (and her violent partner being removed) and retaining some sense, at least, of her belonging to place. However, further significant policy and attitudinal change is required. In this article, I explore the gap between the experiences of women and the policies and legislation that have been in place to provide assistance and protection, and how this has changed over the past three decades. In particular, I examine what it means to leave home or to at stay home in relation to domestic violence and I consider what they mean in terms of belonging to family and to place.

T1  - Reliability and Predictive Validity of a Consensus-Based Risk Assessment Tool
AN  - 61446884; 200900130
AB  - This study examines the reliability and predictive validity of the risk assessment tool used in Ontario, Canada. For the reliability portion of the study, a stratified random sample of 132 cases receiving services was drawn from one of Ontario's largest children's aid societies. Predictive validity was tested on 1,118 cases that were selected and administratively followed for varying lengths of time. Internal consistency was poor to fair; inter-rater reliability was greater than would be expected by chance alone in eight of the 23 risk items. Survival analysis revealed mostly poor predictive capacity for individual items and no predictive capacity for caseworkers' subjective overall risk rating. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Problems of Implementing Offender Programs in the Community
AN  - 61402274; 200805510
AB  - Rehabilitation of offenders is, at present, an important focus among many correctional departments. A substantial body of international research literature now exists to guide the design and development of new programs that aim to reduce re-offending. However, successful implementation of these programs has been challenging for many correctional authorities. Drawing on the experience of a community correctional agency in Australia, this paper identifies and examines a number of barriers to successful delivery of community-based offender rehabilitation programs and services. The findings suggest that basing interventions on scientific knowledge about "what works" in offender rehabilitation is necessary but not sufficient for effective programs and services. More careful attention needs to be paid to how correctional authorities can take this research and implement it in practice. Adapted from the source document.

AN  - 60041801; 200925395
AB  - From the perspective of his work with the Peace Brigades International (PBI) from 2001 to 2003, Paul Zeccola reports on the bloody conflict between Indonesian security forces and Acehnese separatists that had begun in 1976. Since the December 2004 tsunami, however, a new age for Aceh has taken shape through reconstruction and political resolution. Zeccola traces the development of five momentous events between 1998 and 2007: the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding, European Union and ASEAN-monitored demilitarization of GAM's armed forces, the passing of the Law on Governing of Aceh in 2006, direct local elections for the first time in Aceh, and formerly banned organizations registered as local political parties in 2008.

T1  - The Ambivalence of Weak Legitimacy: Habibie's Interregnum Revisited
AN  - 60015505; 200925335
AB  - This article's main focus is the question of whether the actions of former interim president Habibie served to accelerate or obstruct the democratization of Indonesia during his 18-month interregnum. Firstly, was his presidency legitimate? What were his underlying political motives for seeking to bolster his popularity under the New Order regime? The conclusion drawn is that Habibie's effects were mixed on the one hand, his lack of credibility prompted him to liberalise Indonesia's political system, but on the other, in an effort to gain a second term, he involved himself in shady alliances with the Golkar party of the former government, such as financial operators and conservative generals.

T1  - 'A Peaceful Festival of Democracy': Aristocratic Rivalry and the Media in a Local Election in Bali
AN  - 60015267; 200926036
AB  - One aspect of the transition toward democracy in Indonesia has been a decentralization toward local government. Local elites have attempted to advance political ambition, often across party lines, thus forming political 'cartels.' The concern of this essay is with the informing of such elections. Of significance in the round of pilkada (heads of districts) in Bali in 2005 was the reappearance of puri into the electoral arena by mobilizing their aristocratic status. Also interesting is the language of traditional politics in the Balinese media. The authors work from their own Balinese and ethnographic experience to explore these local politics, revealing the complexity of elections within local historical contexts. Tina Cabrera

T1  - Gender Mainstreaming in Islamic Primary Schools in South Sulawesi, Indonesia: A Textbook Analysis
AN  - 59896891; 200904310
AB  - Gender mainstreaming -- a practice that originated in the Fourth UN Conference on Women in 1995 -- considers women on a par with men in planning policies & programs for social development. It was adopted by Indonesia's Ministry of Women's Empowerment in 2000 with the primary activity of developing competency-based, gender-responsive curricula & practices at every level of education. Based on a content analysis of the text & illustrations of schoolbooks, this paper examines gender-related practices in Islamic primary schools in South Sulawesi, a province in which gender mainstreaming could be expected to challenge local ethnic culture & orthodox Islamic teaching. Specifically, it considers whether Indonesia's adoption of gender mainstreaming has had an influence on textbooks published after 2004 in all subject areas in all grades of representative schools. The analysis revealed some degree of gender mainstreaming, but must remains to be done by persuading publishers to produce progressive books & schools to use them. S. Stanton.

T1  - Non-Specialists in the Pesantren: The Social Construction of Islamic Knowledge
AN  - 59885834; 200901989
AB  - In Indonesia's pesantren (special Islamic boarding schools), students focus on textual education in Islam, but another class of Muslims, the orang awam (common people), involve themselves in pesantren activities & thereby give the pesantren broader social significance in the community. This paper explores the activities of the orang awam & their engagement with the pesantren, based on the author's observations. On a more abstract level, however, it examines the social construction of ilmu (knowledge), which in studies of Islam is most often in its written state. Since the orang awam do not receive textual education in Islam, they are dependent on the ulama to help them become well-versed in Islam & thus able to fulfill their duties as Muslims. The author seeks to explain Muslim religious participation in light of this process. S. Stanton

T1  - 'Enriched with Knowledge': Modernisation, Islamisation and the Future of Islamic Education in Indonesia
AN  - 59871872; 200904404
AB  - While education & the pursuit of knowledge have always been central elements of Islam, Islamic knowledge has a religious origin & is pursued to enable Muslims to live by God's will & for God's purpose. Islamic education cannot be secular, atheistic, or amoral. The focus of this paper is to describe Islamic education as taught in Indonesia to those not familiar with it. For Indonesian scholars to understand social, political, & economic change in their country, they must "take religion seriously" (Grace 2004), since Islam drives most such change. Modern Western scholarship involves "a secularization of consciousness" (Berger 1967), so even scholars of Indonesia tend not to consider the overwhelming influence of Islam in almost every regard. While Indonesia has a secular national education system, there is a trend to accommodate Islamic education within it. There is also an Islamic education system; in 2005-2006, some six million students attended government-registered Islamic day schools (madrasah) & another 1.76 lived in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Statistics are presented on teachers, students, curricula, educational outcomes, & conditions in the Islamic education system. S. Stanton

T1  - Indonesian Islamic education and Australia, Then and Now: A personal and Inside View
AN  - 59848011; 200904416
AB  - This contribution to a special journal issue, "Islamic Education in Indonesia," notes that the tradition of Islamic education in the archipelago goes back some 1,000 years, as long as the religion itself. Since Islam has no structured clergy, the same learned Imams who interpret the Qur'an & lead prayer also resolve community disputes, serve as healers, & teach the children. The Dutch colonizers had schools, but taught only their own children & those of the indigenous elite. For the rest, Islamic education was the only schooling available for centuries. During & after WWII, Australia accepted many Indonesian nationals & eventually became involved with the Indonesian nationalist movement & then the independent Republic of Indonesia. Many Australian Volunteers Abroad (AVA) served in Indonesia, often as English teachers. Soon not just the English language, but also the histories, cultures, & ideologies of the Western world began to have an influence on the Islamic majority. The author offers an account of his & other Australians' experiences as AVA teachers in Indonesia & describes the current Australian government involvement with Islamic education, particularly through the Learning Assistance Program for Islamic Schools, of which the author is the Australian director.

T1  - Pesantren in Power: Religious Institutions and Political Recruitment in Sumenep, Madura
AN  - 59847009; 200904617
AB  - Indonesian decentralization has resulted in a greater role for local community leaders, including religious leaders, in their district governments. In three of the four districts of the primarily Muslim island of Madura in East Java, leaders of pesantren (prestigious Islamic boarding schools) had been elected as district heads (bupati) by 2003. This transition started when Kiai Ramdlan Siradj was elected bupati in Sumenep in 2000. This paper analyzes the important role attained by pesantren & kiai in political recruitment in Sumenep in 2005-2006. The author contends, however,that while they controlled recruitment, the pesantren had no clear goals regarding the exercise of their political power. Specific elements of the decentralization policy relating to the reform of district elections are reviewed, & the position of Islam, pesantren, & kiai in Sumenep is discussed. S. Stanton

T1  - A Crisis of Civility
AN  - 59844222; 200901397
AB  - Argues that British Labour faces the same dual problem that brought down the Conservatives in the early 1990s: deepening social fragmentation & disorder coupled with an economic downturn spurred by the bursting financial bubble. The social fragmentation, ie, a weakening of values & ties, is labeled a "crisis of civility," which is about the failure of the willingness to moderate individual desires; heated political disputes over tax are taken as an example of this. The crisis of civility is seen to be intimately tied to the credit crunch. Two other areas where the crisis of civility can cause problems are discussed: the environment & the aging population. Problems with the UK's neoliberal Thatcherite economic model are explained in terms of how the affluence it delivered undermined civility, which in turn, now threatens that same affluence & growth. In this light, it is argued that the UK needs policy geared toward building a "civil economy"; what is required to do this & how such an economy would operate is addressed. Asserting that a civil economy can only go so far in reversing the crisis of civility, attention is given to the pursuit of more profound cultural change via a new cultural alliance centered on like-minded civil society organizations.

AB  - It is estimated that the majority of federal information is born digital. To that end, the U.S. Government Printing Office is transforming into a 21st century electronic information agency. As part of this effort, the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) has been investigating new options for the dissemination of Federal information that incorporate digitization, preservation, electronic metadata, and information retrieval. The FDLP's efforts to find new solutions will improve acquisitions, information access, and collection development for depository libraries. This article describes just a few of the initiatives GPO has undertaken to increase access to electronic U.S. Government information. [Copyright 2008 Elsevier Inc.]

T1  - Congressional Access To National Security Information
AN  - 59802421; 200814457
AB  - Recent presidential administrations have invoked a broad executive privilege to justify withholding national security information from Congress and the courts. This Article argues that such a broad claim of privilege rests on a mischaracterization of the President's constitutional role. The author explains that the other branches of the United States government need access to national security information to fulfill their constitutional duties. In particular, the author argues that Congress must have access to this information to effectively exercise its own powers with regard to war and national security. The Article proposes that Congress enact legislation giving the Judiciary access to this information so that it can properly enforce the separation of powers and vindicate individual rights.

T1  - Judicial Behavior and the Rehnquist Court's Federalism Revolution
AN  - 59791137; 200812569
AB  - Attempts to demonstrate that law systematically influences the behavior of the justices of the Supreme Court have traditionally foundered on the inability to provide systematic tests for such influence. At the same time, attitudinalists have traditionally asserted that the influence of law and policy preferences must be mutually exclusive, which is an unreasonably high standard. In this article, I develop a model of what federalism might look like to a Supreme Court justice. In doing so, I emphasize the difference between constitutional and political federalism but in the context of the judicial role in federalism. The model is then tested by looking at the pro-state bloc in the late Rehnquist Court, finding that four of the five justices can be considered federalists. The evidence presented here can be taken as a test of the influence of law beyond the influence of ideology of Supreme Court justices.

AN  - 58806489; 2008-255045
AB  - Following the $700 Billion bailout of Wall Street in October 2008, it is argued that Congress has slowed the economic bleeding, but the wounds have not been healed. Congress acted in a bipartisan way on the bailout proposal, but that spirit needs to be kept alive and an honest look needs to be taken at what created the economic crisis in the first place.

T1  - Cooper on the Financial Crisis: Prevent Disaster, Then Reduce Debt
AN  - 58802726; 2008-255044
AB  - The financial services industry, banking in particular, is at a crossroads. High-stakes risks taken by consumers, investors, and banks themselves have threatened the future of many banks and created an unprecedented downturn in our nation's economy. While at the year's end the consumer is very bearish on the economy, there is reason for some optimism in Tennessee. Housing and real estate remain an issue although not as severe as elsewhere around the country. Unemployment is up in the state, but 94 percent of all Tennesseans are still employed.

T1  - Massachusetts Health Reform Implementation: Major Progress And Future Challenges
AN  - 58774191; 2008-212061
AB  - Since its passage in April 2006, the Massachusetts health reform law (Chapter 58) has expanded affordable insurance coverage to 355,000 people. Major milestones have been achieved, including establishment of new coverage programs, merger of small-group and nongroup insurance markets, creation of an insurance "Connector," determination of affordability and penalty standards for an individual mandate, and launch of employer responsibility requirements. Key challenges remain, including full implementation of the individual mandate, cost control, and securing of long-term financing. Massachusetts health reform is offering valuable and important lessons for the nation. Adapted from the source document.

Five years after Lucene made it possible to build useful search interfaces, there are now many more options for building one's own. Two interesting options are Zebra from IndexData (www.indexdata.dk/zebra) and Solr from Apache (lucene.apache.org/solr).

T1  - Relationships in Knowledge Organization
AN  - 57703752; 200900492
AB  - Relationships that interconnect entity classes of import to knowledge organization (knowledge, documents, concepts, beings, information needs, language) include both non-subject bibliographic relationships (document-to-document relationships, responsibility relationships) and conceptual content relationships (subject relationships, relevance relationships). While the MARC format allows the recording of most bibliographic relationships, many of them are not expressed systematically. Conceptual content relationships include, in turn, interconcept and intraconcept relationships. The expression of inter-concept relationships is covered by standard thesaural relationships, which typically do not distinguish fully between the underlying lexical relationship types. The full expression of complex intraconcept relationships includes indication of the basic nature of the relationship (including a set of semantic roles), the set of entities that participate in the relationship, and a mapping between participants and semantic roles. Knowledge organization schemes seldom express these relationships fully. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - A new approach to library service discovery and resource delivery
AN  - 57702266; 200805902
AB  - In this vision session, Daniel Chudnov discussed how current specifications in development and use, including COinS and unAPI, could improve service discovery and resource delivery. The speaker focused on the benefits of each spec and examined each from a critical perspective. He concluded that each spec could not deliver the ultimate performance of current commercial counterparts such as iTunes. The specs combined, however, contribute to a preferable ideal to which libraries should aspire. Throughout his talk, Chudnov built on a strategy libraries can utilize to begin implementing that ideal. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Will Google's keyword searching eliminate the need for LC cataloging and classification?
AN  - 57699891; 200808240
AB  - Google Print does not "change everything" regarding the need for professional cataloging and classification of books; its limitations make cataloging and classification even more important to researchers. Google's keyword search mechanism, backed by the display of results in 'relevance ranked' order, is expressly designed and optimized for quick information-seeking rather than scholarship. Internet keyword searching does not provide scholars with the structured menus of research options, such as those in OPAC browse displays, which they need for overview perspectives on the book literature of their topics. Keyword searching fails to map the taxonomies that alert researchers to unanticipated aspects of their subjects. It fails to retrieve literature that uses keywords other than those the researcher can specify; it misses not only synonyms and variant phrases but also all relevant works in foreign languages. Searching by keywords is not the same as searching by conceptual categories. Google software especially fails to retrieve desired keywords in contexts segregated from the appearance of the same words in irrelevant contexts. As a consequence of the design limitations of the Google search interface, researchers cannot use Google to systematically recognize relevant books whose exact terminology they cannot specify in advance. In contrast, cataloging and classification do provide the recognition mechanisms that scholarship requires for systematic literature retrieval in book collections. Adapted from the source document.

AN  - 57699561; 200802341
AB  - Describes the author's efforts to bring Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) to the attention of librarians by speaking at conferences about its potential value. Today, there are hundreds of librarians around the world who understand the benefits of FLOSS, advocate for it, use it where they are, and speak publicly and eloquently about its advantages. However, there are things that librarians still do not know about open source. FLOSS provides the freedom to run, study, adapt, and redistribute software. If a librarian cannot do one of these, it is not FLOSS. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - The changing nature of the catalog and its integration with other discovery tools. Final report: March 17, 2006. Prepared for the Library of Congress by Karen Calhoun. A critical review
AN  - 57699054; 200808156
AB  - According to the Calhoun report, library operations that are not digital, that do not result in resources that are remotely accessible, that involve professional human judgement or expertise, or that require conceptual categorization and standardization rather than relevance-ranking of keywords, do not fit into its proposed "leadership" strategy. This strategy itself, however, is based on an inappropriate business model-and a misrepresentation of that business model to begin with. The Calhoun report draws unjustified conclusions about the digital age, inflates wishful thinking, fails to make critical distinctions, and disregards (as well as mischaracterizes) an alternative "niche" strategy for research libraries, to promote scholarship (rather than increase "market position"). Its recommendations to eliminate Library of Congress subject headings, and to use "fast turnaround" time as the "gold standard" in cataloging, are particularly unjustified, and would have serious negative consequences for the capacity of research libraries to promote scholarly research.

The number of titles, number of copies printed, and breadth of subjects published continues its sharp decline. In the case of Afghanistan, commercial production has declined along with access to the publishing output. In contrast, government publishing is flourishing. Publishing in Iran provides a good indication of the political trends and conditions in the country. The new conservative egime severely restricts reformist scholars and writers ability to publish. With government controls over many aspects of cultural life, censorship restricts most publishing. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - The Doppler effect of online communities.
AN  - 57691140; 200802865
AB  - Comments on the tendency of online communities to come and go, a situation that can be likened to the Doppler effect - the change in frequency and wavelength of a wave as perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. When someone becomes active in a new online community, the Doppler effect comes into play sooner than expected. Questions begin to crop up, such as how long has the Web site been around, or what is its relationship to its surrounding communities. Just like one recognizes the ups and downs in usage patterns and how they correlate with those of his /her local community, he/she can learn to sense when online communities are on their way up or down and what that means for his /her participation in that community.

T1  - Let me draw you a picture.
AN  - 57691021; 200800395
AB  - Argues that librarians need to be able to think like coders and to absorb that mind-set into their daily practice and long-term thinking in libraries. There are practical and strategic advantages to having more librarians who are able to think algorithmically, able to think probabilistically, and able to spend a few days in a text editor now and again helping solve problems. The primary reason this is important is that - like it or not - librarianship is more about computerized information processing than ever before. Another reason library staff need to be code-savvy is to ensure that they can assess new technologies in terms of their potential benefits and drawbacks and their implementation and support costs.

T1  - Web search engine multimedia functionality.
AN  - 57686167; 200802618
AB  - Web search engines are beginning to offer access to multimedia searching, including audio, video and image searching. In this paper we report findings from a study examining the state of multimedia search functionality on major general and specialized Web search engines. We investigated 102 Web search engines to examine: (1) how many Web search engines offer multimedia searching, (2) the type of multimedia search functionality and methods offered, such as 'query by example', and (3) the supports for personalization or customization which are accessible as advanced search. Findings include: (1) few major Web search engines offer multimedia searching and (2) multimedia Web search functionality is generally limited. Our findings show that despite the increasing level of interest in multimedia Web search, those few Web search engines offering multimedia Web search, provide limited multimedia search functionality. Keywords are still the only means of multimedia retrieval, while other methods such as 'query by example' are offered by less than 1% of Web search engines examined. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Federal government information policy and public policy analysis: a brief overview.
AN  - 57660384; 200804310
AB  - The information policy of the federal government of the United States has been evolving for well over 200 years, with antecedents in the British, colonial, and Confederation experiences. Having a variety of themes, (e.g., accountability, records management, accessibility, security, and privacy), it is a policy of complexity, both in terms of interrelationships among its themes and political dynamics, which is to acknowledge that all three branches have contributed to its substance, and that balance among competing forces has been neither easily realized nor maintained. Moreover, it concerns values of particular importance for a democracy, such as realizing a government that is accountable to the citizenry and protects the security of the nation. It continues to evolve, adjust, and change due to a variety of factors, new political environments and information technology being among the foremost. Policy analysis, discussed here in several dimensions, may be applied to understand not only information policy of the past and the present, but also what might be modified, adjusted, or created anew for the future. Ultimately, in all instances of policy analysis application, the end result, hopefully, will be more informed decision making. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Commentary on "Does Psychoeducation Help Prevent Post Traumatic Psychological Distress?": Dose and Fit Are Vital to Intervention Success
AN  - 57280192; 200906367
AB  - The effectiveness of psychoeducational intervention following trauma and mass casualty is rightfully questioned by Wessely and colleagues in this issue. Their consideration of the empirical evidence for and against psychoeducation is well-timed, given the increase in such interventions. However, their mostly empirical critique may be aided by further consideration of ecological and resource theories that underpin the likeliness of intervention and psychoeducation success in this instance. Consideration of psychoeducation within the model of ecological congruence including needs of the target population, timing of the trauma and treatment, and the cultural context are critical. The intervention "dose," in terms of type, timing, and amount of the intervention must fit the needs of the population. The current commentary emphasizes the need for all interventions to either bring new resources or activate or allow existing resources to be utilized, and it highlights the need for a consideration of the event-intervention fit.

AN  - 57259366; 200900353
AB  - With this new century we face increasing levels of war, conflict and violence, and major causes of disability; in times of conflict people with disabilities are more likely to be neglected; the needs of people with disabilities prevail long past the end of hostility. This essay presents theological and other resources that give spiritual and moral depth to the quest for an end to violence. Reflection on theology and the struggle of people with disabilities can sustain our hopes and our actions, can give energy and vitality to our attempts to live in communities of resistance and solidarity, and can break the boundaries that place others beyond the scope of our moral concern.

T1  - Enrolled nurse to registered nurse: Is there a link between initial educational preparation and course completion?
AN  - 57250187; 200816486
AB  - There is a shortage of registered nurses (RN) globally and equally in rural areas of Australia. The sparsely populated areas of rural Australia prompted the development of an external-mode EN-to-RN pathway course for enrolled nurses (EN) who want to complete a nursing degree. However, the awarding of advanced standing for EN clinical experience, regardless of educational background, is a new initiative that needs to be evaluated. Hence, this paper reports on the link between initial EN educational preparation and its impact on course completion. This exploratory correlation study used existing course data from four cohorts between 2000 and 2003. The comparisons included educational background, years of experience, and location of the EN-to-RN students. Significant differences were not found between rural and metropolitan students who completed or who withdrew from the course. Logistic regression analysis indicated that ENs in this sample with a hospital-based certificate rather than a technical college qualification were more likely to complete the course: Location and years of experience as an EN did not contribute significantly to course completion. The findings provide support for the same recognition of prior learning, regardless of educational background, for ENs entering a bachelor level nursing degree. The findings have relevance for Australia and other countries with similar challenges for ENs who want to become RNs without relocating to a city. [Copyright 2007 Crown.]

T1  - Engagement, but for what kind of marriage?: community members and local planning authorities
AN  - 57235861; 200812333
AB  - In recent years there has been an international trend to encourage greater participation by community members in making decisions over local developments. A small study of the experiences of community activists residing in the City of Moreland (Australia) indicates that existing political and economic structures are neither flexible nor supportive of greater, substantive, democracy. Indeed the kinds of barriers reported at the grassroots suggest that deep reforms in the traditional patterns of engagement between political and bureaucratic authorities and neighbourhood communities are necessary in order to enhance the power of community members. This analysis of community engagement practices draws a parallel between the multi-various scales of struggles necessitated for women's liberation and the breadth of reforms necessary for neighbourhood residents to achieve greater power in decision making over local developments.

T1  - Geosciences in schools; a tune of confidence to developing countries to take on challenges of the 21st century
AN  - 50480878; 2009-027440
AB  - The broad discipline of geosciences has become highly utilitarian and expanded knowledge-based, compelling geoscientists to practice with the most complex and diverse profession in all the segments of human race. The article focuses attention of developing countries on the necessity of introducing geosciences at school level. Among 194 countries in the world, 115 are developing countries, characterized by low standard of living, undeveloped industrial base, moderate-to-low HDI score, but are in a phase of development. Their major population is primarily rural-domiciled and uneducated. The article highlights the merits of geosciences teaching at schools in generating broad-based functional knowledge and technologies for internal economic advancement, and better returns on raw materials, and societal benefits. With such a knowledge base, youngsters are bound to inculcate the needs of waste and water resources management, and energy generation from wastes ? the main challenges of the 21st century. In dealing this subject, we have to appreciate world's finite size of natural resources and its natural balance, especially pertaining to climate change, depletion of resources, water and energy security, environmental protection, including sustained development through integral application of advanced technologies. We have also to be mindful of the limited amount of food & space for human settlements and due perception of human survival's linkage with correct understanding of disaster reduction, mitigation, & prediction of geohazards, and their adverse effects of economic crisis. For analyzing their impacts on society, geosciences teaching has become crucial from early schooling, but amazingly absent in primary and secondary school education system of developing countries. The adverse effects of this policy are discussed. Geosciences innovations have also generated a number of home-based occupations for farmers, embracing studies of soil quality, water needs, climate forecast, drainage, floods, rains, etc. Role of basic concepts in the development of these vocations is discussed. Concluding, a fact sheet of advantages of having geosciences in school curriculum is given. It should be instrumental to the students in conceiving innovative scientific and research ideas, inductive reasoning, and creative intelligence, apart from understanding the implications of the latest concepts of greenhouse effects, mineralo-herbal remedies, and geomythologies. Other benefactions of the advocated geoscience education policy for schools are identified and put up to elucidate its usefulness to quality improvement of college education, acquisition of skills for greater employability, performance enhancement, acceleration of village uplift, and creation of vast avenues for employment, besides promoting talent-generation and marketing value-based indigenous raw materials abroad.

AB  - With the end of the Cold War at the end of the twentieth century, the post-socialist transition in Central and Eastern Europe, China and Vietnam, the impressive growth of India, and the rapid spread of globalization, today's world is vastly different from that of two or three decades ago. Many of these changes are closely related to the concerns of economics and, in particular, institutional economics, which has been brought to the forefront due to the analysis of institutions in transition economies, and the realisation of how large a part they play in a successful market economy. With the aim of providing a comprehensive analysis of institutions, and of the global economy more generally, this volume explores systems of institutions, the interactions between institutions, and the effect that corruption can have on them. There is also an examination of the impact of immigration, a look at developments in behavioural economics, and an exploration of the links between democratic progress and economic growth.   This volume brings together a wide range of scholars from around the world and provides a comprehensive overview of recent trends in economics, as well as explaining how economics plays a crucial part in understanding and analysing important changes taking place internationally. With a variety of contributions focusing on institutions, development and corruption, this volume is essential reading for all those interested in examining the part which economic institutions play in transition, and for those wanting to place the modern world in a wider economic context.

T1  - An Empirical Assessment of the Relationship Between Climatic Indices and Hydroclimatic Variability in South-Eastern Australia
AN  - 20958193; 8540877
AB  - The continuing drought in south-eastern Australia and suggestions of a new hydroclimatological regime due to climate change have renewed interest in inter-annual and inter-decadal variability in rainfall and runoff. Recent runoff in the southern parts of the Murray-Darling Basin has been significantly lower than the long-term mean, as well as runoff occurring from previous 20th century droughts. Relationships between climatic indices (e.g. the Southern Oscillation, Southern Annular Mode and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation indices) and hydroclimatological anomalies have been demonstrated. These relationships can be non-linear and the strength of the correlations can vary in time. By examining the relationship between climatic indices and hydroclimatic variability in south- eastern Australia, the mechanisms influencing recent and historical hydroclimatic anomalies are better understood. We empirically assess the relationship between a number of relevant climatic indices and the high- and low- frequency components of rainfall and runoff in south-eastern Australia. The technique of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is used to separate long (approx. 100 years) time-series of rainfall and runoff into high- and low-frequency components. The frequencies of the EMD decomposition are automatically and adaptively selected by the EMD procedure. EMD also has the advantage over other time-series decompositions that it produces nearly orthogonal components. These features make EMD a flexible and suitable choice for investigating longer term hydroclimatic variability. We examine a variety of climatic index variables and test the correlations between low- and high-frequency rainfall and runoff components. We then discuss the strength of the relationships and scope for predictive ability.

T1  - Application of a Combined Curve Number and Tracer Approach to Approximate Groundwater Discharge to a Stream
AN  - 20952223; 8540823
AB  - The curve number approach is a popular method of characterising relationships between rainfall and stream runoff, particularly where sources of hydrological information are limited. In this study, a modified form of the curve number approach was adapted to use continuous stream salinity data in an attempt to provide a more accurate estimate of water routing through the catchment than possible using flow data alone. This method was applied to a 27 sq. km upland catchment: Scott Creek, South Australia. The addition of salinity to the curve number approach increased the sensitivity of groundwater discharge (inferred from low flows) to the calibration objective function. However, the prediction of stream salinity was found to be sensitive to the adopted value of groundwater salinity, which was difficult to constrain due to observed spatial variability across the catchment. Further, calibrating to salinity had a similar effect on the flow prediction as calibrating to low flows. The results of the modelling indicated that regional groundwater is the dominant source of stream flow during the low-flow season (i.e. January-March), and that stream evaporation has a significant impact on stream salinity during this period. The results of the modified curve number analysis was augmented with hydrochemistry sampling and interpretation, including longitudinal stream profiles and temporal stream water chemistry trends, to characterise stream-aquifer interaction behaviour and to constrain the salinities (i.e. mixing model end-members) of hydrological components. This aspect of the investigation identified spatial variability in both groundwater salinities and stream salinities during low flows, and these were attributed to localised groundwater discharge and the occurrence of perennial springs and seeps. Overall, incorporating a salinity mixing model into the modelling algorithms and calibration targets of the parsimonious curve number approach improved the simulation of stream salinities and therefore inferred groundwater discharge trends, as verified through hydrochemistry results. The results indicate that this approach provides a relatively simple and reliable method for routing rainfall through catchments where groundwater discharge is thought to dominate dry season flows and where comprehensive data sets are not available.

T1  - Method for Small-Molecule Discovery Based on Microscale-Preparative Multidimensional Gas Chromatography Isolation with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
AN  - 20912434; 8424105
AB  - Absolute chemical identification requires obtaining a pure compound followed by structure elucidation using spectroscopic techniques, principally NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Classical isolation techniques suffer from insufficient resolution for complex samples, requiring time-consuming fractionation in multiple steps. Here, a novel preparative technique based upon capillary column multidimensional gas chromatography (MDGC) with 2D NMR to resolve, isolate, and identify pure volatile components from a complex sample is described. As a model application, geraniol was isolated from an essential oil matrix using MDGC and quantitatively resolved from 15 partially coeluting compounds from the first column. Geraniol was recovered from 10 (8.6 mu g) and 100 injections (77.6 mu g; purity >99%) for subsequent NMR analysis at 500 and 800 MHz (with cryoprobe). Proton and gCOSY NMR experiments were successfully performed at 12.3 mu g/mL (10 injections), while gHSQC and gHMBC NMR experiments were obtained at 110.8 mu g/mL (100 injections). This approach is applicable to the biodiscovery of volatile molecular species or, indeed, any volatile compound in a complex matrix that requires confirmation of component identity.

T1  - The occurrence and severity of grass toxicoses in Australian alpaca (Vicugna pacos) herds
AN  - 20905116; 8416574
AB  - A survey of 108 alpaca producers registered with the Australian Alpaca Association examined the occurrence and severity of 'staggers' (a colloquial term embracing various diseases of the nervous system in animals, characterised by neck tremors and head nodding in the milder alpaca cases and a lack of coordination in moving, a staggering gait and frequent falling in severe cases) in Australian alpaca and the presence of four pasture grasses, during three production seasons in 2004-2006. There have been few studies on the susceptibility of alpaca to staggers and its effect on productivity and animal welfare. The survey found that 23% of alpaca producers had observed staggering animals, with Victoria and South Australia being the most severely affected states. Clinical signs of staggers were most frequent in January-March, with a mean duration of 3 months. Some animals showed clinical signs lasting up to 12 months. A strong correlation was found between the presence of perennial ryegrass (P < 0.001) and phalaris (P < 0.003) and the occurrence of staggers. Based on grass presence and the timing when staggers was observed, it was concluded that perennial ryegrass toxicosis was the main cause of staggers in alpaca. About 12% and 9% of alpaca grazing pasture containing perennial ryegrass exhibited staggers in the two full seasons for which data were collected. Herds with staggering animals were correlated with those exhibiting possible subclinical effects- heat sensitivity and ill-thrift (P < 0.01) and reduced fertility (P < 0.05)-of perennial ryegrass endophyte toxins. Results indicate that weanlings and cria are more likely to stagger than adults. Thirteen of the 15 mixed farms with staggering alpaca did not observe staggers in other livestock, suggesting that alpaca may be more sensitive to the causal toxins than sheep and cattle.

T1  - Frequency and precision of aerial surveys for kangaroo management
AN  - 20902578; 8414211
AB  - The appropriate frequency and precision for surveys of wildlife populations represent a trade-off between survey cost and the risk of making suboptimal management decisions because of poor survey data. The commercial harvest of kangaroos is primarily regulated through annual quotas set as proportions of absolute estimates of population size. Stochastic models were used to explore the effects of varying precision, survey frequency and harvest rate on the risk of quasiextinction for an arid-zone and a more mesic-zone kangaroo population. Quasiextinction probability increases in a sigmoidal fashion as survey frequency is reduced. The risk is greater in more arid regions and is highly sensitive to harvest rate. An appropriate management regime involves regular surveys in the major harvest areas where harvest rate can be set close to the maximum sustained yield. Outside these areas, survey frequency can be reduced in relatively mesic areas and reduced in arid regions when combined with lowered harvest rates. Relative to other factors, quasiextinction risk is only affected by survey precision (standard error/mean A- 100) when it is >50%, partly reflecting the safety of the strategy of harvesting a proportion of a population estimate.

T1  - Sex-Specific Tyrian Purple Genesis: Precursor and Pigment Distribution in the Reproductive System of the Marine Mollusc, Dicathais orbita
AN  - 20893241; 8151239
AB  - Exploitation of Tyrian purple from muricid molluscs, since antiquity, has prompted much interest in its chemical composition. Nevertheless, there remains a paucity of information on the biosynthetic routes leading to observed sexual differences in pigmentation. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LQ-MS) method was developed to simultaneously quantify dye pigments and precursors in male and female Dicathais orbita. The prochromogen, tyrindoxyl sulfate, was detected for the first time, by using this method in hypobranchial gland extracts of both sexes. Intermediates tyrindoxyl, tyrindoleninone, and tyriverdin were detected in female hypobranchial glands, along with 6,6'-dibromoindigo, while males contained 6-bromoisatin and 6,6'-dibromoindirubin. Multivariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the dye composition of male and female hypobranchial glands (ANOSIM, P = 0.002), thus providing evidence for sex-specific genesis of Tyrian purple in the Muricidae. Dye precursors were also present in male and female gonoduct extracts, establishing a mechanism for the incorporation of bioactive intermediates into muricid egg masses. These findings provide a model for investigating sex-specific chemical divergences in marine invertebrates and support the involvement of Tyrian purple genesis in muricid reproduction.

T1  - Global diversity of polychaetes (Polychaeta; Annelida) in freshwater
AN  - 20768461; 8150690
AB  - A literature review of Polychaeta (Annelida) including Aphanoneura (the oligochaete-like Aeolosomatidae and Potamodrilidae), living in freshwater yielded 168 species, 70 genera and 24 families representing all of the major polychaete clades, but less than 2% of all species. The best-represented families were, in order, Nereididae, Aeolosomatidae, Sabellidae, Spionidae and Histriobdellidae. Fourteen families were represented by a single species and genus. Regions supporting the highest diversity of freshwater polychaetes were in order, Palaearctic, Neotropical, Oriental, Nearctic, Australasian, and Afrotropical. More than half of all species and genera inhabitat lakes and rivers, followed by lagoons/estuaries, which have a high proportion of euryhaline species, and inland seas. Less common, atypical polychaete habitats include subterranean waters, the hyporheic zone of rivers and plant container habitats (phytotelmata). At least three distinct ecological/historical processes appear to account for the colonisation of continental waters: invasion of a clade prior to the break-up of Gondwana, as in Aphanoneura, Namanereis, Stratiodrilus, and Caobangia; relatively recent stranding of individual species (relicts); and the temporary visitation of euryhaline species.

T1  - Injuries to lizards: conservation implications for the endangered pygmy bluetongue lizard (Tiliqua adelaidensis)
AN  - 20730818; 8197230
AB  - Understanding the potential threats of predation can play a crucial role in conservation management of threatened species. We investigated the frequency of sublethal injuries to live individuals of the endangered pygmy bluetongue lizard (Tiliqua adelaidensis). We found that there was no significant difference in the frequency of injury between males and females. However, there was a significant difference in injury frequency between adults and subadult animals and also between two close, but isolated, populations of pygmy bluetongue lizards. These data can be used, with caution, to understand the predation risks in natural populations of this species. They also suggest that predation would be a significant hazard that must be considered in any translocation program that is considered for this species.

T1  - Spatial and temporal variation in the breeding of Masked Lapwings (Vanellus miles) in Australia
AN  - 20673213; 8197180
AB  - Spatial and temporal variation in the breeding of Masked Lapwings (Vanellus miles) in Australia were examined using data from Birds Australia's Nest Record Scheme (NRS; 1957-2002), the Atlas of Australian Birds (1998-2006), and climatic data (1952-2006). Breeding in north-western Australia was concentrated in summer, while in other regions the peak of breeding occurred during spring. Breeding success varied between regions and years but was generally highest in Tasmania. Clutch-size (mean 3.57 eggs A+/- 0.033 s.e., n = 549 clutches) did not vary regionally or temporally. In the north-east, breeding became earlier over time (1.9 days per year, NRS), while in the south-east, breeding became later (0.9 days per year); in other regions temporal trends were not evident. Only Tasmania showed a significant temporal change in breeding success (decrease of 1.5% per year). All regions experienced warming climates, and annual rainfall increased in north-western regions and decreased in eastern regions. There were weak or no relationships between the amount or success of breeding, clutch-size and the climatic variables considered (with the possible exception of Tasmania), suggesting either that data limitations precluded us from detecting subtle effects or that Masked Lapwings have been little influenced or are resilient to changes in climate over most of their range.

T1  - Influence of stand age on nutrient and energy release through decomposition in alder-cardamom agroforestry systems of the eastern Himalayas
AN  - 20654416; 8152480
AB  - The influence of stand age (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 years) on the decomposition of litter fractions, nutrient and energy release of mixtures of N sub(2)-fixing alder (Alnusnepalensis) and non-N sub(2)-fixing large cardamom (Amomum subulatum) systems was compared. Seasonal decomposition rates were distinct with the highest rate in the first 6 months followed by subsequent seasons. The decomposition rate was substantially high in younger stands (10- to 15-years) and declined in the older stands. Heat sink from the stand floor litter increased from 171 x 10 super(6) kJ year super(-1) in 5 years to 299 x 10 super(6) kJ year super(-1) at 15 years and then considerably decreased with advancing age. However, energy and nutrient releases were slow at a high initial lignin-to-initial N ratio and C-to-N ratio, and there was an inverse relationship between the k-value of ash-free-mass and N expressed as a function of the C-to-N ratio. Quantities of nutrient release and energy loss per unit area in 24 months of decomposition were highest in 15 years and subsequently they lowered with advancing age. Nutrient loss indicated approximately uniform absolute and relative rates. Absolute energy consistently decreased by 81-88% in 24 months. Ash-free mass of decomposing litter remaining at different retrieval dates was associated with a narrowing of the C-to-N ratio. The relative loss rate of ash-free mass, nutrients and energy content was strongly related to the C-to-N ratio, litter temperature and litter moisture. The influence of Alnus in the younger stands on nutrient and energy releases were rapid, indicating accelerated nutrient cycling and energy dynamics. The intensity of the processes was highly phenomenal and considerably high in younger stands up to 20 years. Thus, an appropriate management cycle of the Alnus-cardamom system for sustainability is 15-20 years.

T1  - Cryopreservation of shoot-tips by droplet vitrification applicable to all taro (Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta) accessions
AN  - 20595936; 8145991
AB  - The application of the droplet vitrification cryopreservation technique to taro accessions from a range of Asia Pacific countries is presented. The optimum protocol involves excision of about 0.8 mm shoot-tips from in vitro plants, 20-40 min PVS2 exposure at 0 degree C followed by rapid plunge into liquid nitrogen. Thawing was done at room temperature (25 degree C) and shoot-tips inoculated on MS medium with 0.1 M sucrose regenerated into plantlets 4-6 weeks later. This new droplet vitrification protocol improved the mean post-thaw regeneration rates to 73-100% from 21-30% obtained with the previous cryo-vial vitrification protocol.

T1  - The effects of climate on breeding in the Helmeted Honeyeater
AN  - 20578356; 8131363
AB  - Climate is known to influence the timing and success of breeding in many bird species. In the northern hemisphere, significant breeding changes have been associated with climate change, with warming temperatures, often, but not always, corresponding to earlier laying. For the critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater (Lichenostomus melanops cassidix) of central southern Victoria, Australia, climate also plays a role in the timing and success of breeding. During the period 1989 to 2006, the timing of laying became earlier and there was a possible reduction in the mean number of eggs laid per breeding season. These changes correspond to a reduction in rainfall and mild warming. If these trends continue under projected climate-change regimes, there will be increased risk of further population decline.

T1  - Trends in timing of migration of south-western Australian birds and their relationship to climate
AN  - 20576487; 8131364
AB  - The influence of climate on the timing of migration of Australian birds is poorly understood, particularly in Western Australia and for waterfowl. This paper examines a new dataset, comprising presence-absence records of 20 species of waterbirds and landbirds at Middlesex, south-western Australia, for the period 1973-2000. Considering only species with sufficient records to determine trends, over this period nine of 19 species (47%) had significantly altered arrival times (five arriving earlier and four later); seven of 17 species (41%) had significant changes in departure dates (four departing later, three earlier); and eight of 17 (47%) species had significantly different season lengths (the period spent at Middlesex, with five spending more time at Middlesex). Generally, changes in the timing of regular seasonal movements were consistent among species that arrived or departed in similar seasons, with species that arrive in spring tending to arrive earlier, while species arriving in autumn and winter arrived later. Trends were generally more pronounced in spring-arriving species, though strong trends were also seen in other seasons. This region experienced significant reductions in the number of rain-days and increased minimum temperature over the study period. For many Middlesex species, particularly waterbirds, precipitation changes appeared to have a greater influence on changes in migration timing than temperature, though some species also appeared to respond to changes in extreme temperatures. This differs from many northern hemisphere studies, where changes in mean, maximum, or minimum temperature were associated with changes in migration timing.

T1  - Edible Coatings Influence Fruit Ripening, Quality, and Aroma Biosynthesis in Mango Fruit
AN  - 20575280; 8107818
AB  - The effects of different edible coatings on mango fruit ripening and ripe fruit quality parameters including color, firmness, soluble solids concentrations, total acidity, ascorbic acid, total carotenoids, fatty acids, and aroma volatiles were investigated. Hard mature green mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Kensigton Pride) fruits were coated with aqueous mango carnauba (1:1 v/v), Semperfresh (0.6%), Aloe vera gel (1:1, v/v), or A. vera gel (100%). Untreated fruit served as the control. Following the coating, fruits were allowed to dry at room temperature and packed in soft- board trays to ripen at 21 +/- 1 degree C and 55.2 +/- 11.1% relative humidity until the eating soft stage. Mango carnauba was effective in retarding fruit ripening, retaining fruit firmness, and improving fruit quality attributes including levels of fatty acids and aroma volatiles. Semperfresh and A. vera gel (1:1 or 100%) slightly delayed fruit ripening but reduced fruit aroma volatile development. A. vera gel coating did not exceed the commercial mango carnauba and Semperfresh in retarding fruit ripening and improving aroma volatile biosynthesis.

T1  - Colonisation of native tree and shrub plantings by woodland birds in an agricultural landscape
AN  - 20572896; 8131433
AB  - Tree planting has become a cornerstone strategy for natural resource management in agricultural landscapes, yet its contribution as habitat for woodland birds has not been fully investigated. A case study from the Holbrook region in southern New South Wales was used to assess woodland birds in young plantings of native trees and shrubs. Ground-foraging insectivorous woodland birds were under-represented in the plantings, partly due to a lack of native forb diversity (wildflowers) and leaf litter. Of 69 woodland bird species recorded over a three-year period, 48 species (70%) occurred in planted sites, 59 species (86%) occurred in remnant woodland, and 34 species (49%) occurred in adjacent paddock sites. The greater diversity of birds in planted sites relative to paddock sites was mostly due to understorey birds. The proportion of mist-netted birds recaptured was similar in both planted (15%) and remnant woodland (16%) sites, suggesting that individual birds were staying in planted sites. The proportion of woodland birds showing breeding activity (as measured by the presence of a brood patch) was slightly lower in planted sites (24% of all woodland species) than in remnant woodland (29%). Birds such as the superb fairy-wren, red-browed finch and southern whiteface were more likely to occur in planted sites, suggesting that plantings provide unique, transitional-stage habitat within agricultural landscapes. Restoring native forbs, as part of a broader strategy of woodland management, will help to reverse the decline of ground-foraging insectivorous woodland birds in agricultural landscapes.

T1  - Strong constraints to independent nesting in a facultatively social bee: quantifying the effects of enemies-at-the-nest
AN  - 20547073; 8113184
AB  - Constraints to independent nesting play a key role in the understanding of social evolution in insects, but the source and the magnitude of such constraints are poorly known for many key taxa. In allodapine bees it is known that solitary nesting females have low rates of successful brood rearing and that this drives selection for cooperative nesting. It has been hypothesized that these constraints are due to the presence of enemies-at-the-nest, such as ants, but no direct link has been demonstrated between such enemies and colony failure. We set up an experiment in which solitary founded nests of an Australian allodapine bee, Exoneura nigrescens, were either protected from non-flying predators or left unprotected, and compared the resulting colony survival and brood production rates. We found that protected colonies have much higher rates of survival and that the constraints to independent nesting are extreme, with a mean of less than one offspring per nest at the end of the brood rearing period. This means that cooperative nesting is essential for this species to persist in its habitat.

T1  - Justice Tourism and Alternative Globalisation
AN  - 20410697; 9092970
AB  - Because of the negative impacts of capitalist globalisation, some commentators are anticipating an alternative form of globalisation. This paper examines the potential of alternative tourisms to be catalysts for more just and sustainable forms of globalisation. While it is argued that various forms of alternative tourism, including ecotourism, sustainability, peace through tourism, and pro-poor tourism have been co-opted by a defensive tourism industry in the face of widespread criticism and an active anti-capitalist globalisation movement, it is suggested that the niche of justice tourism provides a singular model of difference. Justice tourism is a relatively new and under-analysed phenomenon that seeks not only to reform the inequities and damages of contemporary tourism, but also to chart a path to a more just global order. An examination of justice tourism indicates that its 'products and services', its structures and its agendas are radically different from the other segments of the alternative tourism phenomenon. In particular, the formation of the Tourism Interventions Group, with its collaboration with the social justice movement meeting under the auspices of the World Social Forum, shows that justice tourism aims for a fundamental transformation of the contemporary global order.

T1  - Taxonomy, Biology, and Efficacy of Two Australian Parasitoids of the Eucalyptus Gall Wasp, Leptocybe Invasa Fisher & la salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae)
AN  - 20369708; 9044464
AB  - Two species of Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Australia are described as parasitoids of Leptocybe invasa Fisher & la Salle: Quadrastichus mendeli Kim & la Salle sp.nov. and Selitrichodes kryceri Kim & la Salle sp. nov. These parasitoids were introduced to Israel as part of a biological control program to counter the severe levels of damage caused by L. invasa to Eucalyptus plantations throughout the Mediterranean Basin. The biology of these species, as well as their potential as biological control agents, is discussed. Both species are now successfully established in Israel. The parasitoids were collected from L. invasa galls on 3-4 year old Eucalyptus tereticornis trees in central west Queensland, between Gympie and Hervey Bay, and on the Atherton Tableland. Both species are small (about 1 mm in length), solitary, and apparently ectoparasitic wasps. S. kryceri is biparental whereas Q. mendeli is uniparental. Maximum survival (6 6 days at 25C) for both species was obtained when they were fed with honey solution. S. kryceri and Q. mendeli successfully parasitized approximately 2.2 and 2.5 gall units per day, respectively. Both species developed on both young and mature host larvae. L. invasa may be considered as an early colonizer of regenerated young stands in Australia, which may imply that its parasitoids will display a similar fast-tracking behavior with respect to their host in its invasive range. The generic status of Selitrichodes is reinstated, with Epomphaloides and Zagrammosomoides placed as new synonyms of Selitrichodes.

T1  - Genetic variation in the invasive avian parasite, Philornis downsi (Diptera, Muscidae) on the Galapagos archipelago
AN  - 20346877; 9030178
AB  - Background Understanding the dispersal and genetic structure of invasive insects across islands is important for designing management plans that are appropriate at spatial and temporal scales. For invasive parasites, population dynamics are largely determined by the distribution and density of their host species. The introduced parasitic fly, Philornis downsi, parasitises nestlings of endemic birds on all major islands of the Galapagos archipelago. The fly's high mortality and fitness impacts are of conservation concern for vulnerable and declining species of Darwin's finches. Using microsatellite data in Bayesian clustering and landscape genetic analyses, we examine gene flow and dispersal in P. downsi between three islands and across habitats (highlands, lowlands) and examine for the presence of population bottlenecks. We also examine variation at the mitochondrial gene CO1 across islands to establish if cryptic species were present. Results Both the mitochondrial and microsatellite data were consistent with there being a single species across islands. We found low genetic differentiation between islands and strong evidence for inter-island gene flow, or shared recent ancestry among individuals. Landscape genetic analysis identified two genetic clusters: one encompassing Santa Cruz and Isabela, and one on Floreana Island. There was no evidence of genetic differentiation between habitats and molecular variance was mainly attributable to within individuals. The combined P. downsi population was found to have undergone a population bottleneck. Conclusion Philornis downsi populations have high connectivity within and between islands, with low levels of genetic differentiation between Floreana and the other two islands examined. The genetic bottleneck found across islands suggests there was a small founding population or few introduction events of P. downsi. The high dispersal capacity and wide habitat use of P. downsi highlights the significant threat that this parasite poses to the Galapagos avifauna. Our findings are relevant for assessing the viability of methods to control P. downsi on Galapagos, such as the sterile insect technique.

T1  - Phylogenetic relationships of the heath dragons (Rankinia adelaidensis and R. parviceps) from the south-western Australian biodiversity hotspot
AN  - 20283612; 8939078
AB  - Although the south-western Australian region is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the biodiversity of this region. We present a phylogenetic study of the heath dragons (Rankinia adelaidensis and R. parviceps) from this region, incorporating a 1612-bp section of mtDNA and two nuclear introns, Gapdh (244 bp) and Enol (330 bp). In addition, we present a generic-level analysis of three gene regions (mtDNA, Gapdh, BDNF), which provides clear evidence that Rankinia adelaidensis and R. parviceps are not closely related to Rankinia diemensis from eastern Australia. Instead, the heath dragons are strongly supported as forming a clade with the genus Ctenophorus. In addition, we find that there are significant levels of haplotype divergence between currently recognised subspecies of the heath dragons (R. a. adelaidensis, R. a. chapmani, R. p. parviceps, R. p. butleri). We suggest that the genetic divergences between subspecies result from geographic isolation in allopatry owing to habitat preferences, followed by drift and/or selection. On the basis of these deep divergences and consistent morphological differences between subspecies, we recommend elevating all taxa to full species, and provide a taxonomic revision of the genera Rankinia and Ctenophorus.

T1  - Body sizes, activity times, food habits and reproduction of brown tree snakes (Boiga irregularis) (Serpentes : Colubridae) from tropical north Queensland, Australia
AN  - 20282880; 8939080
AB  - Brown tree snakes (Boiga irregularis) are medium to large colubrid snakes that are relatively common within the eastern and northern parts of tropical Australia. An invasive population on Guam in the western Pacific has resulted in B. irregularis being one of the most studied snakes on earth. However, no field studies have ever been conducted on Australian populations. During a seven-year period we collected data on 265 field-caught specimens in north Queensland. These snakes were from three populations and provided data on body sizes, activity times, food habits and reproduction. B. irregularis were found to attain larger body sizes in the Wet Tropics populations than in the Townsville and Magnetic Island populations. More snakes were encountered during the wet and warm season than during the dry and cool season. Sexual size dimorphism was not detected in any population. The diet included a wide range of vertebrates. Reproductive data were scant from the populations examined.

T1  - Condition of fenced and unfenced remnant vegetation in inland catchments in south-eastern Australia
AN  - 20280553; 8938954
AB  - Considerable areas of remnant native vegetation have been fenced in the last decade to manage grazing by domestic stock. This study investigated vegetation condition in comparative fenced and unfenced remnant vegetation in the mid-upper Murrumbidgee and Lachlan catchments in south-eastern Australia. Native species richness, native groundcover and overstorey regeneration were higher at fenced than at unfenced sites. Area of bare ground was lower at fenced sites. Exotic groundcover did not differ between fenced and unfenced sites. Native species richness was higher at sites fenced for longer and with no stock grazing; neither native nor exotic groundcover at fenced sites was related to time since fencing or stock grazing pressure. Some tree species regenerated at both fenced and unfenced sites (Blakely's red gum, Eucalyptus blakelyi; tumbledown gum, E. dealbata, long-leaved box, E. goniocalyx; red stringbark, E. macrorhyncha), some regenerated at few fenced and few unfenced sites (white box, E. albens; yellow box, E. melliodora) and some regenerated at fenced sites but not at unfenced sites (grey box, E. microcarpa; mugga ironbark, E. sideroxylon; white cypress pine, Callitris glaucophylla). Although less robust than pre- and postfencing monitoring, the comparisons reported here provide a logistically feasible and relatively inexpensive assessment of effects of the sizeable public investment in fencing on vegetation condition.

T1  - Symbiotic competence of rose clover (Trifolium hirtum All.)
AN  - 20269170; 8860829
AB  - Rose clover (Trifolium hirtum All.) is a forage plant that is well adapted to acidic and mildly alkaline soils of low natural fertility in southern Australia and to climates with a winter-dominant annual rainfall of 300 mm and above. Reports of low concentrations of nitrogen in rose clover foliage have been attributed to poor N sub(2) fixation and may have discouraged its use in Australia. This investigation, conducted in tube culture, examined the ability of four lines of rose clover to nodulate and fix N sub(2) with effective strains of clover rhizobia (Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii) and with soils (as a source of naturalised rhizobia) collected from field sites in New South Wales and South Australia. Comparisons with other Trifolium spp. were also made. It was confirmed that there was a low concentration of N in the shoots of the rose clover cvv. SARDI Rose and Hykon. This occurred even where rose clover nodulated and fixed N sub(2) effectively with well known inoculant strains of clover rhizobia and with soil samples collected in the field (provided that the populations of resident clover rhizobia in the soil were at least 150/g). Individual plants were uniform in response to inoculation. Rose clover cv. SARDI Rose was closely related to six of the nine other lines of clover with which it was compared. It was concluded that the registered cultivars of rose clover, cvv. SARDI Rose and Hykon, are symbiotically competent plants. It appears that low N in rose clover foliage is an intrinsic characteristic of the species unconnected with its symbiotic characteristics.

During the second and third trimesters, findings included cerebral ventriculomegaly (n = 8 [57%]), nuchal skin fold 6 mm or cystic hygroma colli (n = 5 [36%]), urinary anomalies (n = 5 [36%]), digit malformations (n = 5 [36%]), and abnormal amniotic fluid volume (n = 6 [40%]). Findings in trisomy 1q may be influenced by coexisting chromosomal deletions or mosaicism. Sonographic features generally reflect the location and size of the 1q duplication.

T1  - Head Blight of Wheat in Kenya and Contamination of Grain with Mycotoxin Producing Fusarium Species
AN  - 20250723; 8381229
AB  - The study was carried out during the 2006 cropping season in Nakuru district, Kenya. Incidence and severity of head blight were determined and pathogens isolated from diseased wheat heads, wheat and maize kernels. Mycotoxin deoxynivalenol content in grain was determined by direct competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Pathogenicity of different Fusarium species isolated from wheat was determined by inoculation onto wheat ears in greenhouse. Head blight was highly prevalent (90-100%) and mean incidence and severity ranged from 4 to 9% and 15 to 37%, respectively. Fusarium was most prevalent in infected wheat heads while Epicoccum was most prevalent in harvested wheat grain. Only Fusarium spp. and Penicillium spp. contaminated harvested maize grain. The most frequently isolated Fusarium species were F. poae, F. graminearum and F. chlamydosporum in wheat and F. verticilloides in maize. Most wheat and maize grain samples were contaminated with mycotoxin (DON), with concentration ranging from 0-1,200 and 0-4,600 mu g kg super(-1), respectively. Fusarium graminearum isolates were highly pathogenic, significantly reducing kernel weight. The results suggest that head blight in Nakuru district is due to a complex of Fusarium species with F. graminearum being the major pathogen. Cross-contamination of wheat and maize is implied, indicating possible contamination of wheat maize products with deoxynivalenol mycotoxin.

T1  - Towards a New Drought Monitoring Service for Australia
AN  - 20249517; 8541276
AB  - The Australian Bureau of Meteorology currently monitors rainfall deficiencies over periods based on the timing of agricultural growing seasons or periods of peak percentage area of the country experiencing drought. Drought is defined in terms of rainfall deciles, with areas of the country in the lowest decile over a certain period regarded as being rainfall deficient, i.e., in meteorological drought. The use of the rainfall in the lowest decile range had been shown previously to correspond with incidences of drought occurrence (Gibbs and Maher 1967). More generally, a decrease in rainfall, or meteorological drought, is often a good first approximation for both agricultural and hydrological drought. Recently the Bureau of Rural Sciences examined the utility of seasonal indices for monitoring and assessing drought (White 2006). The report concluded that all rainfall indices, when used in isolation, are inadequate for reliably assessing agricultural droughts. Furthermore, they found that temperature and evapotranspiration are important fields when determining the severity of drought in relation to agriculture and speculated that under global warming scenarios they may become more important. Recently, in response to a prolonged period of below average rainfall over the agriculturally important Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), the National Climate Centre, examined the rainfall and temperatures for the 6 year period November 2001 to October 2007. They found that this was the equal driest 6 year period on record (equal with 1939-45). However, what really made the recent period exceptional was the record high temperatures. The authors surmise that these high temperatures would have exacerbated the dry conditions. Similarly, but focused on more on hydrological impacts Cai and Cowan (2008) examined the evidence of rising temperatures on inflows to the MDB. They found that over the 2001-2007 period inflows to Australia's longest river system, the Murray-Darling, reached historical lows. Furthermore, they find that increases in temperatures due to the enhanced greenhouse effect are linked to reductions in climatological inflows. Nicholls (2004) also raised the possibility that the enhanced greenhouse effect is increasing the severity of Australian droughts by raising temperatures and thus increasing evaporation. It is becoming obvious that measuring drought purely in terms of rainfall deciles may not be enough to service future needs of the user community. The Bureau of Meteorology is thus undertaking a review of its current drought service with the aim to extend this to include some consideration of temperature. We will present the results of this review and a discussion of the results of drought indices examined.

T1  - Production of Helicoverpa spp. (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) from different refuge crops to accompany transgenic cotton plantings in eastern Australia
AN  - 20243344; 8860818
AB  - The adoption of transgenic (Bt) cotton varieties has markedly reduced feeding damage by noctuid pests, Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera, in Australian cotton crops. However, the potential for Bt resistance to evolve within these insect pests is a major concern. To reduce the likelihood of Bt resistance occurring, it is mandatory for growers of Bt cotton to also grow refuge crops which produce large numbers of Bt- susceptible moths. We present here findings from a series of field studies which sought to identify the relative Helicoverpa productivity of different refuge crop options. The abundance of Helicoverpa pupae (during the cotton season) was compared under crops of Ingard super(A(r)) (transgenic, single Bt gene) cotton, sprayed conventional cotton, and various unsprayed refuge crops (cotton, sorghum, maize, pigeon pea) from 1996 to 2003 in the major cotton-producing regions of northern New South Wales, plus St George and Dirranbandi in southern Queensland. Unsprayed, conventional cotton was used as the 'control' refuge in these studies. Productivity of adult Helicoverpa was estimated by surveying for pupae and discounting those that were parasitised and dead. Some supplementary experiments were also conducted to evaluate specific issues, in particular the value of additional refuge crops sown late in 2000-01 (due to accidental over-planting of Ingard super(A(r)) cotton that year) and the potential productivity of mixed plantings of various refuge crops which individually flowered at different times throughout the cotton season. Unsprayed refuges generally produced many more pupae than sprayed, conventional cotton and Ingard super(A(r)) cotton. Overall, pigeon pea, which has the advantage of prolonged flowering and thus on-going attractiveness to Helicoverpa, was the most reliable and productive refuge option, producing about twice as many pupae as unsprayed cotton. The seed mix refuge is perhaps a viable alternative option, although logistically more difficult for growers to adopt. Laboratory rearing of live pupae until moth emergence indicated that parasitism can be a substantial source of mortality in some refuge crops, especially sorghum. The most common parasitoid of Helicoverpa pupae was the ichneumonid wasp, Heteropelma scaposum. Such parasitism can greatly reduce productivity of adult Helicoverpa from refuges and needs to be taken into account when assessing relative refuge 'value', although such refuges will obviously contribute to the abundance of these beneficial species across the landscape.

T1  - Economic impact of anthropogenic forcing on tropical cyclone intensity in the Australian region: Contribution to the Garnaut Review
AN  - 20233707; 8541311
AB  - The Garnaut Climate Change Review is an independent study by Professor Ross Garnaut, commissioned by Australia's State and Territory Governments. The Review is examining the impacts of climate change on the Australian economy, in an effort to recommend medium to long-term policies and policy frameworks to improve the prospects for sustainable prosperity. Geoscience Australia's (GA) outputs for the Garnaut Review consider the economic impacts of tropical cyclones on Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia (severe wind and storm surge impacts) for eight climate change greenhouse gas emission scenarios based on model projections of large-scale environmental factors from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report simulations. The study focuses on the evaluation of the wind hazard utilising the maximum potential intensity (MPI). This sets a thermodynamic, theoretical upper limit for the distribution of TC intensities obtained by a TC given a vertical temperature and humidity profile and given location. Storm surge impacts in the same States are developed using a simple parameterisation relating changes in TC intensity to changes in storm surge height including the adoption of the IPCC global mid-point sea-level rise predictions. For this study we consider 20 year time slices centred on; 2010, 2030, 2050, 2070, and 2090. For each time-slice and for each region, we produce the spatial return-period "tropical cyclone wind gust speed" ranging from return- periods of 50 years to 5000 years. Direct losses (infrastructure damage) are calculated for each return-period event. The combined losses (severe wind and storm surge) were regressed to obtain a Probable Maximum Loss (PML) curve for each study region. The average annual cost to the region due to exposure to tropical cyclones across a 5000 year period or Annualised losses are evaluated for each study region. Expressing the annualised loss as a percentage of total reconstruction gives a measure of the intensity of the risk to the studied community that is not so evident in simple dollar values. State annualised loss estimates of direct loss were aggregated from estimates at the SLA (statistical local area) level. The aim of the Garnaut Review is to compare the "business as usual" scenario (A1FI) with a range of stabilisation scenarios.

T1  - Ankyrin Repeat Proteins Comprise a Diverse Family of Bacterial Type IV Effectors
AN  - 20049296; 8326861
AB  - Specialized secretion systems are used by many bacteria to deliver effector proteins into host cells that can either mimic or disrupt the function of eukaryotic factors. We found that the intracellular pathogens Legionella pneumophila and Coxiella burnetii use a type IV secretion system to deliver into eukaryotic cells a large number of different bacterial proteins containing ankyrin repeat homology domains called Anks. The L. pneumophila AnkX protein prevented microtubule-dependent vesicular transport to interfere with fusion of the L. pneumophila-containing vacuole with late endosomes after infection of macrophages, which demonstrates that Ank proteins have effector functions important for bacterial infection of eukaryotic host cells.

T1  - Cooperative interactions within a marine bacterial dual species biofilm growing on a natural biodegradable substratum
AN  - 20040114; 8682678
AB  - Pseudoalteromonas sp. S91 is a marine bacterium known to secrete chitinases and proteases, hydrolytic enzymes responsible for the degradation of chitin and protein, respectively, which enable access to nutrients contained in chitinous materials such as squid pen. In a dual species biofilm grown on squid pen, Pseudoalteromonas sp. S91 was able to support the accumulation of Vibrio sp. S141, which is unable to degrade squid pen but able to metabolise the chitin subunit N'-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a product of squid pen hydrolysis. When grown on a glass substratum in the presence of a soluble carbon source that only Pseudoalteromonas sp. S91 could use, its biofilm provided no support to Vibrio sp. S141.

T1  - Exploring the fourth trophic level: do hyperparasitoids influence biocontrol of a forestry pest in a native system?
AN  - 19906579; 8760771
AB  - The accidental introduction of an obligate egg hyperparasitoid, Baeoanusia albifunicle, reduced the effectiveness of the deliberately introduced Enoggera nassaui as a biological control agent of Paropsis charybdis in eucalypt forestry in New Zealand. Baeoanusia albifunide also hyperparasitises the only primary egg parasitoid associated with P. atomaria in South-East Queensland (SEQ) eucalypt forestry in Australia. We investigated the hyperparasitoid complex associated with Neopolycystus sp. in SEQ, recording relative species abundance, phenology and sex ratios at three field sites across two seasons. Overall, 27% of Neopolycystus sp. were hyperparasitised. Relative wasp abundance was consistent between sites and seasons, with the primary parasitoid the most common emergent (74%) from parasitised P. atomaria eggs, followed by B. albifunicle (18%), while the obligate hyperparasitoids Aphaneromella sp. and Neblatticida sp. each represented less than 5% of wasps. No relationship between primary parasitoid availability and hyperparasitism rates was apparent, nor was there evidence of hyperparasitism reducing Neopolycystus sp. impact on P. atomaria.

T1  - DNA barcoding of shared fish species from the North Atlantic and Australasia: minimal divergence for most taxa, but Zeus faber and Lepidopus caudatus each probably constitute two species
AN  - 19798987; 8378239
AB  - Fifteen fish species, totalling 149 specimens, were cytochrome c oxidase I sequenced - barcoded - from Northern (Atlantic and Mediterranean) and Southern (Australasian) Hemisphere waters. Thirteen species showed no significant evidence of spatial genetic differentiation for this gene, although small sample sizes reduced statistical power. For marine fish, barcodes collected in one part of a species range are likely to be useful as identifiers in all other parts of its range. Two species did show striking north-south differentiation, with F sub(ST) values of 0.84 and 0.96 (both p << 0.001). One of these, the silver scabbardfish Lepidopus caudatus, showed 2.75% genetic distance between northern and southern clades. The other, John dory Zeus faber, showed 7.44% differentiation between northern and southern clades. All specimens of these 2 species fell correctly into the northern or southern clade. We suggest that both taxa conceal a currently unrecognised, cryptic species, and recommend further taxonomic and genetic investigation.

T1  - Marine invertebrates, intense anthropogenic noise, and squid response to seismic survey pulses
AN  - 19798087; 8852792
AB  - Marine invertebrates have been poorly studied for sound reception, behavioural response to intense sound, and ecological implications of anthropogenic noise. Despite the proliferation of known invertebrate sounds and associated specialised organs for producing these, until recently, there has been little evidence to suggest that invertebrates hear. With no direct evidence, cephalopods have been postulated as capable of sensing sound, and some decapod crustaceans are known to respond to sound.

T1  - Experiments and Observations of Fish Exposed to Seismic Survey Pulses
AN  - 19797469; 8852749
AB  - McCauley et al. (2003a) reported auditory damage in caged pink snapper exposed to multiple air gun passes. This damage occurred over a long time frame, with the more serious damage evident 58 days after initial exposure, just before the same batch of fish were exposed a second time. Correlating behavioural information was collected from these two and previous experiments. The general behaviour of caged fish to an approaching air gun and the behaviour of fish held in the McCauley et al. (2003a) trials is briefly discussed here.

T1  - Development of a nutrition and physical activity booklet to engage seniors
AN  - 19721735; 9039017
AB  - Background This paper describes the development and process evaluation of an interactive booklet aimed at motivating older adults to improve their nutrition and physical activity. Findings The booklet was developed in consultation with seniors via focus groups, individual interviews and self administered questionnaires. The booklet was disseminated to a group of 114 seniors as the main component of a 12-week intervention program. Process evaluation was conducted during and at the end of the intervention period. A large proportion of participants (86%) were engaged in the program in that they had, as a minimum, read the booklet. The majority of the participants found the booklet provided them with useful and interesting advice in an easy-to-read and informative manner. Three quarters (76%) reported the materials to be motivating and increased their awareness of nutrition and physical activity, while 79% intended to continue with changes to their physical activity and diet after the program concluded.

T1  - Endotoxin induced TNF and IL-10 mRNA production is higher in male than female donors: Correlation with elevated expression of TLR4
AN  - 19717405; 8435753
AB  - Modification of cytokine production by gender hormones has been postulated to affect disease susceptibility and outcome. Here we investigate the effect of gender and the menstrual cycle on production of cytokines. Mononuclear cells were isolated every week for 10 consecutive weeks from healthy pre-menopausal women and men. TNF and IL-10 mRNA and protein levels were measured as well as membrane CD14 and intracellular TLR4 protein. Endotoxin stimulation of mononuclear cells from men produced more TNF and IL10 mRNA than cells from women. TLR4 expression was also significantly higher in cells from men. These gender differences in the immune response may help to elucidate the sexual dimorphism observed in infectious diseases.

T1  - Resistance to amoebic gill disease (AGD) is characterised by the transcriptional dysregulation of immune and cell cycle pathways
AN  - 19712997; 8579897
AB  - Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a parasite-mediated proliferative gill disease capable of affecting a range of teleost hosts. While a moderate heritability for AGD resistance in Atlantic salmon has been reported previously, the mechanisms by which individuals resist the proliferative effects remain poorly understood. To gain more knowledge of this commercially important trait, we compared gill transcriptomes of two groups of Atlantic salmon, one designated putatively resistant, and one designated putatively susceptible to AGD. Utilising a 17k Atlantic salmon cDNA microarray we identified 196 transcripts that were differentially expressed between the two groups. Expression of 11 transcripts were further examined with real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) in the AGD-resistant and AGD-susceptible animals, as well as non-infected naive fish. Gene expression determined by qPCR was in strong agreement with the microarray analysis. A large number of differentially expressed genes were involved in immune and cell cycle responses. Resistant individuals displayed significantly higher expression of genes involved in adaptive immunity and negative regulation of the cell cycle. In contrast, AGD-susceptible individuals showed higher expression of acute phase proteins and positive regulators of the cell cycle. Combined with the gill histopathology, our results suggest AGD resistance is acquired rather than innately present, and that this resistance is for the most part associated with the dysregulation of immune and cell cycle pathways.

T1  - Surrogate measures for assessing cryptic faunal biodiversity on macroalgal-dominated subtidal reefs
AN  - 19709905; 7943164
AB  - A major impediment to the identification of priority areas for marine biodiversity conservation is a fundamental lack of information about the distribution of many marine species. Comprehensive species inventories for many areas currently do not exist, and performing detailed taxonomic surveys is often prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Accordingly, there is a need to develop simple and reliable rapid-assessment techniques for mapping marine biodiversity. One potential approach is to use 'surrogates' that function as proxies for the distribution of other, less easily sampled, 'cryptic' biota. Two potential surrogates for predicting arthropod faunal biodiversity on rock subtidal reefs were investigated in this study: (1) macroalgae, and (2) faunal subsets derived by aggregating the arthropod fauna at higher taxonomic levels. Faunal and macroalgal assemblage composition was only weakly correlated across sites reflecting broad faunal responses to changes in algal structural complexity and/or common environmental gradients. This suggests that algal species composition may not be very informative in mapping patterns of faunal species distribution on reefs. Instead, the best surrogates were related (i.e. nested), subsets of the faunal assemblages such as family-level taxon richness which was found to be a good predictor of arthropod species richness at independent test sites.

T1  - A Review on Transitional Implications for Retiring Elite Athletes: What Happens When the Spotlight Dims?
AN  - 19700175; 9044805
AB  - The purpose of this investigation was to examine the factors affecting an elite athlete's transition from the sports environment, and identify opportunities for interventions to facilitate a positive transition into post-sports life. Articles were identified through a systematic keyword and database search and were examined using the components of Schlossberg's Model of Human Adaptation to Transition (characteristics of the transition, the individual and the pre and post environment). The greatest contributors to a difficult transition include involuntary retirement (injury or deselection), a strong, exclusive athletic identity, and lack of pre-retirement planning and support services. However, gaps exist in the scope of programs to address broader adaptation issues. Greater emphasis should be directed towards the psychological, social and physical transitions experienced by elite athletes prior to and after retirement to ensure a positive adaptation into post- sports life.

T1  - Malaria case-management under artemether-lumefantrine treatment policy in Uganda
AN  - 19667752; 9034859
AB  - Background Case-management with artemether-lumefantrine (AL) is one of the key strategies to control malaria in many African countries. Yet, the reports on translation of AL implementation activities into clinical practice are scarce. Here the quality of AL case-management is reported from Uganda; approximately one year after AL replaced combination of chloroquine and sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (CQ+SP) as recommended first line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. Methods A cross-sectional survey, using a range of quality of care assessment tools, was undertaken at all government and private-not-for-profit facilities in four Ugandan districts. Main outcome measures were AL prescribing, dispensing and counseling practices in comparison with national guidelines, and factors influencing health workers decision to 1) treat for malaria, and 2) prescribe AL. Results 195 facilities, 232 health workers and 1,763 outpatient consultations were evaluated. Of 1,200 patients who needed treatment with AL according to guidelines, AL was prescribed for 60%, CQ+SP for 14%, quinine for 4%, CQ for 3%, other antimalarials for 3%, and 16% of patients had no antimalarial drug prescribed. AL was prescribed in the correct dose for 95% of patients. Only three out of seven AL counseling and dispensing tasks were performed for more than 50% of patients. Patients were more likely to be treated for malaria if they presented with main complaint of fever (OR = 5.22; 95% CI: 3.61-7.54) and if they were seen by supervised health workers (OR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.06-2.50); however less likely if they were treated by more qualified health workers (OR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.40-0.93) and presented with skin problem (OR = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.15-0.55). AL was more likely prescribed if the appropriate weight-specific AL pack was in stock (OR = 6.15; 95% CI: 3.43-11.05) and when CQ was absent (OR = 2.16; 95% CI: 1.09-4.28). Routine AL implementation activities were not associated with better performance. Conclusion Although the use of AL was predominant over non-recommended therapies, the quality of AL case-management at the point of care is not yet optimal. There is an urgent need for innovative quality improvement interventions, which should be rigorously tested. Adequate availability of ACTs at the point of care will, however, ultimately determine the success of any performance interventions and ACT policy transitions.

T1  - Spatial prediction of Plasmodium falciparum prevalence in Somalia
AN  - 19665372; 9034834
AB  - Background Maps of malaria distribution are vital for optimal allocation of resources for anti-malarial activities. There is a lack of reliable contemporary malaria maps in endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This problem is particularly acute in low malaria transmission countries such as those located in the horn of Africa. Methods Data from a national malaria cluster sample survey in 2005 and routine cluster surveys in 2007 were assembled for Somalia. Rapid diagnostic tests were used to examine the presence of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in finger-prick blood samples obtained from individuals across all age-groups. Bayesian geostatistical models, with environmental and survey covariates, were used to predict continuous maps of malaria prevalence across Somalia and to define the uncertainty associated with the predictions. Results For analyses the country was divided into north and south. In the north, the month of survey, distance to water, precipitation and temperature had no significant association with P. falciparum prevalence when spatial correlation was taken into account. In contrast, all the covariates, except distance to water, were significantly associated with parasite prevalence in the south. The inclusion of covariates improved model fit for the south but not for the north. Model precision was highest in the south. The majority of the country had a predicted prevalence of & 5%; areas with greater than or equal to 5% prevalence were predominantly in the south. Conclusion The maps showed that malaria transmission in Somalia varied from hypo- to meso-endemic. However, even after including the selected covariates in the model, there still remained a considerable amount of unexplained spatial variation in parasite prevalence, indicating effects of other factors not captured in the study. Nonetheless the maps presented here provide the best contemporary information on malaria prevalence in Somalia.

T1  - The burden of disease profile of residents of Nairobi's slums: Results from a Demographic Surveillance System
AN  - 19664370; 9035815
AB  - Background With increasing urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa and poor economic performance, the growth of slums is unavoidable. About 71% of urban residents in Kenya live in slums. Slums are characteristically unplanned, underserved by social services, and their residents are largely underemployed and poor. Recent research shows that the urban poor fare worse than their rural counterparts on most health indicators, yet much about the health of the urban poor remains unknown. This study aims to quantify the burden of mortality of the residents in two Nairobi slums, using a Burden of Disease approach and data generated from a Demographic Surveillance System. Methods Data from the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS) collected between January 2003 and December 2005 were analysed. Core demographic events in the NUHDSS including deaths are updated three times a year; cause of death is ascertained by verbal autopsy and cause of death is assigned according to the ICD 10 classification. Years of Life Lost due to premature mortality (YLL) were calculated by multiplying deaths in each subcategory of sex, age group and cause of death, by the Global Burden of Disease standard life expectancy at that age. Results The overall mortality burden per capita was 205 YLL/1,000 person years. Children under the age of five years had more than four times the mortality burden of the rest of the population, mostly due to pneumonia and diarrhoeal diseases. Among the population aged five years and above, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis accounted for about 50% of the mortality burden. Conclusion Slum residents in Nairobi have a high mortality burden from preventable and treatable conditions. It is necessary to focus on these vulnerable populations since their health outcomes are comparable to or even worse than the health outcomes of rural dwellers who are often the focus of most interventions.

T1  - Generating genetic relatedness maps to improve the management of two rare orchid species
AN  - 19539140; 8365884
AB  - Arachnorchis concolor and A. pilotensis are two rare orchid species with contrasting spatial distributions found in south-eastern Australia. A. concolor is known from 220 plants, with the largest population found in southern central Victoria and the remaining smaller populations 100 km north. Some taxonomic uncertainty surrounds the affiliations of these disjunct populations. A. pilotensis is known from 100 plants in a single location near the Beechworth region of north-eastern Victoria. Small populations such as these can show extreme demographic and/or genetic constraints and careful management is required to ensure their long- term persistence. The present study used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to describe the levels of relatedness among plants from both species and to determine levels of genetic diversity for each species as well as levels of differentiation among A. concolor populations, to assist with species management. Species-level genetic diversity was lower in A. pilotensis (PLP 44%, Hj 0.182) than A. concolor (PLP 58.2%, Hj 0.202). Genetic diversity also varied among A. concolor populations but this does not appear to relate to population size. High levels of inbreeding were evident in A. concolor (f, 0.828) in contrast to moderate levels observed in A. pilotensis (f, 0.466). Genetic relatedness maps, generated by principal coordinates analyses, indicated significant differentiation among A. concolor populations with some sub-structuring also apparent within A. pilotensis. Management implications for the two species, with respect to sourcing of material for translocation and augmentation of pollination events within populations, are discussed in light of these findings.

T1  - The effect of MEVVA ion implantation of Zr on the corrosion behaviour of PVD TiN coatings
AN  - 19474115; 8096673
AB  - The use of TiN coatings as corrosion barriers is limited by the presence of defects such as pin-holes. In this study Zr ions were implanted into PVD deposited TiN coatings at varying doses, to improve the corrosion resistance. The corrosion behaviour was assessed in saline environments using linear polarisation techniques and the corroded surface of the coatings characterised using XPS and SEM. Overall, ion implantation resulted in an increase in the coating's corrosion resistance. Protection was attributed to closure of existing pin-holes and the formation of various nitrides, oxides and oxynitrides of Ti and Zr.

T1  - Seasonal Prediction of Great Barrier Reef Coral Bleaching: A Case Study
AN  - 19319415; 8541092
AB  - Sea surface temperature (SST) is now recognised as the primary cause of mass coral bleaching events. Coral bleaching occurs during times of stress, particularly when SSTs exceed the coral colony's tolerance level. Seasonal forecasts from the coupled model POAMA (Bureau of Meteorology) are used to predict anomalous SSTs in the Great Barrier Reef (Australia) several months into the future. We will present model forecasts, probabilistic products and assess model skill in the region, with emphasis on the 1998 and 2002 bleaching events. These products will revolutionise the way in which coral bleaching events are monitored and assessed in the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. Advance warning of potential bleaching events will allow for the implementation of management strategies to minimise reef damage.

T1  - Is relative abundance a good indicator of population size? Evidence from fragmented populations of a specialist butterfly (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
AN  - 19318518; 8614770
AB  - A common task for conservation biologists and ecologists is to establish how many individuals there are in a population, usually within a defined area of habitat. Estimates of both absolute and relative population sizes are widely used in many aspects of population conservation and management. Mark- recapture studies are appropriate for estimating the absolute population sizes of a wide range of animals, in both open and closed populations, while relative abundances can be estimated from a variety of survey methods. Relative abundances are often used in a comparative way to compare both population size and fluctuations in abundance. Here, we used transect counts and capture-recapture studies to estimate the relative abundances and population sizes of a specialist butterfly, Theclinesthes albocincta (Lycaenidae) in three habitat fragments, over two consecutive years. The sizes of the three populations differed significantly between sites and were highly variable between years. One population was extremely small and is likely to become locally extinct. We found that estimates of relative abundance were highly correlated with estimates of population size (r super(2) = 0.88, P = 0.017) derived from the open population models. The combination of transect counts and capture-recapture studies used in this study appears to be a very informative tool for the conservation and management of this butterfly species and could be extended to other insects.

T1  - Saline Groundwater Discharge Into a Fresh River: First Measurements at the River Discharge Point, River Murray, Australia.
AN  - 19313137; 8540892
AB  - The ingression of saline groundwater into rivers is a major environmental issue in many semi-arid and arid regions in the world. This is the situation for the River Murray of SE Australia. A commonly accepted paradigm is that a change in recharge rates (associated with large scale vegetation clearance) has increased the advective driving head, which has resulted in an increase in salt loads to the river. Groundwater salt loads to the river are calculated as the product of the flow rate and concentration from wells adjacent to the river. However these analyses do not consider the concentration or hydraulic parameters, immediately beneath the river bed, the final discharge terminus to the river. An in-stream coring and sampling investigation along the River Murray in South Australia has enabled for the first time the collection of groundwater and pore water samples directly beneath the river bed. This has provided a unique data set to obtain a greater understanding of discharge process at the point where the salt enters the river. The results of this investigation revealed extremely high concentrations of groundwater salinity in excess of 50, 000 ppm, at depths of between 2-8 m below the river base. These salinities (in some locations) are higher than those observed in adjacent floodplain groundwater wells. Chlorine-36 results indicate groundwater with an age of less than 40 years at a depth of 1-2 m depth below the river bed. However at a depth of only 4m below the river bed we observe a Chlorine-36 age in excess of 100, 000 years. We would not expect to see such abrupt age gradients at 4m depth below the river bed in a gaining stream. Possible conceptual models that may explain very old groundwater beneath a gaining river or a combination thereof include. (1) Density driven flow model. In this conceptual model buoyancy forces suppress discharge and even causes reversal of the flow direction so that the freshwater-saltwater interface is located deeper, the larger the density difference between the two fluids (Massmann et al 2006). (2) Stagnation model. Previous studies have shown that the majority of lateral groundwater flow occurs close to the banks of a river and that the flux will decline the further the distance from the edge of the bank. This is a function of the aspect ratio of the river width to the aquifer thickness. Under this scenario it is possible to obtain stagnant groundwater beneath the middle of the river bed. (3) Upward leakage from deep aquifers and (4) Palaeoclimatic influence on surface groundwater interactions. This model involves the river bed being dry and disconnected from the underlying aquifer during arid phases and reconnected during wet periods. It is clear that additional work is required to help refine any conceptual model of the system; this includes additional data collection for chemistry and isotopes as well as 2 and 3 D solute transport modelling.

T1  - Assessing Connectivity Between a Fresh Water River and Saline Aquifer in a Pristine Catchment, Kangaroo Island, South Australia
AN  - 19312674; 8540891
AB  - The importance of surface water-groundwater interactions has received greater attention in the last decade, in response to water resource allocation needs and the impacts on groundwater dependent ecosystems. Assessments of connectivity (e.g., losing, gaining, flow-through or disconnected conditions) are becoming increasingly commonplace in water resource management. Many connectivity assessments are either model based and theoretical in nature, or based primarily on hydraulic gradient information alone. Some have used EC or Radon-222 activity as an indicator of groundwater gaining conditions. Losing stream conditions are possibly more challenging. In the case of completely disconnected conditions, the theoretical criteria for disconnection are poorly defined. Disconnection is inferred on the basis of a theoretical assessment of head measurements rather than a direct field-based measurement (e.g., the measurement of an unsaturated zone beneath a river bed). This study, attempts to assess the state of connectivity using hydraulic data, chemistry and tracer approaches to provide multiple lines of evidence in support of a working hypothesis that a river system is disconnected from groundwater. The Rocky River Catchment on Kangaroo Island, South Australia is unique, as it is one of the few environmentally pristine catchments covered by native vegetation remaining in South Australia. Rocky River flows perennially and despite what one would expect for a catchment covered by native vegetation, the river is extremely fresh (EC 6000 mu S/cm). Three nested piezometer transects were installed in the Rocky River Catchment. Preliminary findings indicate that at each of the nested piezometer transect sites the river is disconnected from the aquifers beneath and behaves as a losing river system. The hydraulic gradient between the shallow aquifer directly beneath the river and adjacent the river is relatively steep (approximately 0.2) and suggests a hydraulic disconnection. This hypothesis is supported by soil augering in the river channel at one of the transects, which clearly showed that there is an unsaturated zone in the shallow aquifer beneath the river and above the regional aquifer. While this provides primary evidence for the disconnection hypothesis, more data is required before making broader generalisations about the larger system. The emerging conceptual model of this system is that the river is fed by winter rainfall, falling between May and October. Given that the river continues to flow all year around, this suggests a subsurface fresh water inflow either from shallow lateral flow or a source upstream of the study sites. Soil chloride profiles taken across the catchment indicated that there are large stores of salt present at shallow depth. Further work is required to assess the water storages and volumes required to sustain perennial flows. A key component of our working hypothesis is that flow may occur via macropore pathways and lateral flow in deeper regolith or bedrock, effectively by-passing the salt store. An assessment of pristine versus cleared catchments would be vital in assessing what affect clearing this catchment would have on the groundwater levels, state of disconnection, and hence saline accessions from groundwater to the river.

T1  - Functional analysis of lactate dehydrogenase during hypoxic stress in Arabidopsis
AN  - 19300202; 8131394
AB  - During waterlogging conditions plants switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic fermentation to cope with the lack of available oxygen. Plants have two main fermentation pathways: ethanol and lactic acid fermentation. In this paper we carry out a functional analysis of the Arabidopsis lactate dehydrogenase gene, LDH1. Our results indicate that LDH1, like some other anaerobic genes, is expressed in a root-specific manner and is affected by a variety of abiotic stresses (hypoxia, drought, cold) and mechanical wounding. Functional analysis of LDH1 was carried out using transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing the gene (35S promoter) and a T-DNA knockout line. Overexpression of LDH1 resulted in improved survival of low oxygen stress conditions in roots but not in shoots. Increased lactic acid fermentation also resulted in significantly higher activities of pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC). Knockout mutants of LDH1 showed reduced survival under low oxygen conditions and PDC activity levels were not changed compared with the wild type. Our data suggest that there is an interdependency between the lactic and ethanol fermentation pathways and that lactic acid fermentation may play a role in stimulating ethanol fermentation and improving plant survival. We show also that Arabidopsis plants are able to exude lactate efficiently into the medium, preventing it accumulating to toxic levels in the cells.

AN  - 14837229; 10728626
AB  - The first estimate of urinary concentrations of total bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-tertiary-octylphenol (tOP) in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 participants, was reported. The total urinary concentrations of BPA and tOP were measured using online solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography-isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry. BPA was detected in 92.6% of persons greater than or equal to 6 years of age with total concentrations ranging from 0.4 mu g/L to 149 mu g/L. The LSGM concentrations were significantly lower in Mexican Americans than in non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites. The difference was not statistically significant between non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites.

T1  - Temporal Trends and Climatic Factors Associated with Bacterial Enteric Diseases in Vietnam, 1991-2001
AN  - 14836102; 10728623
AB  - The long-term temporal trends and seasonal patterns of shigellosis/dysentery, typhoid fever, and cholera in eight geographic regions of Vietnam were determined. Monthly climatic data were obtained from worldwide climate maps generated by the interpolation of data from ground-based meteorologic stations with a monthly temporal resolution and 0.5 degree by 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Shigellosis/dysentery rates peaked in the northern regions of the country between June and August, and in the southern regions between May and July. The highest monthly IR occurred in the Central Highlands in June. Typhoid fever rates peaked in the northern regions between May and September and in the southern regions between April and July. The highest monthly IRs occurred in the Northwest in July and the Mekong River Delta in April.

T1  - Bringing Green Homes Within Reach: Healthier Housing for More People
AN  - 14835999; 10728621
AB  - Ways of providing healthier and green homes to people, were reviewed. To everyone's benefit, green homes linked sustainable materials and practices with better human environmental health. Office of Air and Radiation, indoor air was typically 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air, owing to the presence of asthma-inducing agents such as mold and toxic chemicals in carpets, paints, and other synthetic materials. By requiring nontoxic materials, green designs limited indoor exposure to carcinogens such as formaldehyde in manufactured wood products including sheathing and particleboard, and to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in finishes. Home energy uses also contributed to global warming. By creating an airtight building envelop, homeowners could lower heating and cooling costs by 50% or more.

T1  - Exogenous and Endogenous Determinants of Blood Trihalomethane Levels After Showering
AN  - 14835430; 10728628
AB  - The importance of personal characteristics, previous exposures, genetic polymorphisms, and environmental exposures in determining trihalomethane (THM) concentrations in blood after showering, was assessed. Whole blood samples for THM analysis were collected using a certified phlebotomist using Vacutainer tubes processed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) contamination. Samples were analyzed for THM levels using headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Chloroform was present in the highest concentrations in both water and air samples, followed by concentrations of bromodichloromethane, dibromochloro-methane, and bromoform. The concentrations of mono- and dibrominated compounds decreased in the observed period. The magnitude of postshower increased in blood THMs, which reflected THM concentrations in shower water and air.

AN  - 14835305; 10728627
AB  - The associations of hydrophilic fungi and ergosterol with respiratory health outcomes among employees in a 20-story office building in the northeastern United States were examined. Ergosterol was analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Endotoxin was analyzed using the kinetic quantitative chromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate method. Cat and dog allergens were analyzed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 67 fungal species from floor dust samples and 69 species from chair dust samples were recovered. In the floor dust, on average, 57% of total fungal colonies were identified as hydrophilic fungi and 19% as mesophilic. In the chair dust, on average, 45% of total fungal colonies were identified as hydrophilic and 28% as mesophilic.

T1  - The Role of Particulate Matter-Associated Zinc in Cardiac Injury in Rats
AN  - 14834310; 10728624
AB  - The role of particulate matter (PM)-associated zinc in cardiac injury in rats was investigated. Statistical analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells and aconitase data was performed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with treatment as one factor and time as the other using SigmaStat software, whereas one-way ANOVA was performed for cardiac mitochondrial DNA damage data. Chronic pulmonary inflammation could influence cardiac physiology. The inflammation caused by PM at high dose level (PM-HD) at 8 or 16 weeks was greatest. Exposure to soluble metal-free Mount St. Helens ash (MSH) also increased BALF cells significantly but to a lesser extent than PM-HD. Although the increase in total cells was apparent at 16 weeks in PM at low dose level (PM-LD), PM, saline leachable fraction (PM-L), and zinc-exposed rats, the increases were not statistically significant.

T1  - N-Acetylcysteine as a Potential Antidote and Biomonitoring Agent of Methylmercury Exposure
AN  - 14823867; 10728625
AB  - The hypothesis that a standardized dose of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) would produce a transient increase in urinary methylmercury (MeHg) excretion that was proportional to body burden of MeHg using a rodent model was tested. Opti-Fluor was added to urine aliquots in scintillation vials, and the mixture was vortexed and allowed to stand in the dark overnight before counting on a scintillation spectrometer. Approximately 5% of the MeHg dose was excreted during the 2 hr after NAC administration in both male and female rats, whereas control animals excreted < 0.1% of the dose over the same interval. The total percentage excreted in the 2 hr after NAC injection was not different between sexes when a single dose was given, but it became significant when two doses of NAC were given within the same period, with the male group being slightly higher.

T1  - Activation of prothrombin by ASP, a serine protease released from Aeromonas sobria
AN  - 20846095; 8183141
AB  - The effect of a serine protease (ASP) secreted from Aeromonas sobria on plasma coagulation was investigated. Proteolytically active ASP promoted human plasma coagulation in a dose-dependent manner. Consistent with the preference for a factor Xa-specific oligo-peptide substrate, ASP produced enzymatic activity from human prothrombin but not from factors IX and X. ASP cleaved prothrombin to produce enzymatically active 37 kDa-fragment displaying the same molecular mass as alpha -thrombin. ASP is the first bacterial serine protease that produces alpha -thrombin, through which ASP may contribute to the induction of thrombotic tendency in disseminated intravascular coagulation complicated with sepsis caused by A. sobria infections.

T1  - Preliminary experience with beta-tricalcium phosphate for use in mastoid cavity obliteration after mastoidectomy.
AN  - 85406911; pmid-17898672
AB  - To examine the efficacy and safety of mastoid cavity obliteration using highly purified beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) after mastoidectomy in middle ear surgery.Thirteen patients with cholesteatoma invading the mastoid cavity or showing severe pathologic changes in the mastoid cavity.Twelve patients underwent mastoid obliteration with highly purified beta-TCP during the first- and/or second-stage operation of a 2-stage canal-up operation: 5 patients during the first and second stages, and 7 patients during the second stage only. One patient with cholesteatoma underwent mastoid obliteration with highly purified beta-TCP during a 1-stage canal-up operation. In total, beta-TCP was applied in 18 ear operations.All patients underwent multislice computed tomography (CT) before and after surgery to assess the condition of the middle ear. The amount of residual beta-TCP granules in the mastoid cavity was assessed using the following granular shadow grading scale: Grade 0, no granular shadow in the mastoid cavity; Grade 1, residual granular shadows in part of the mastoid cavity; and Grade 2, granular shadows in most of the mastoid cavity. To assess any harmful effect of beta-TCP implanted in the mastoid cavity, continuous postoperative discharge and delayed wound healing were recorded. In addition, the bone conduction threshold was assessed using pure-tone audiometry, and the patients were asked whether they experienced vertigo or dizziness during the postoperative follow-up.All the patients who underwent multislice CT less than 11.4 months after mastoid cavity obliteration with beta-TCP were Grade 2 on the granular shadow grading scale, whereas all those who underwent multislice CT more than 53.8 months after mastoid obliteration were Grade 0. No patient had continuous postoperative discharge, delayed wound healing, or extrusion of beta-TCP granules. No patient showed deterioration of the bone conduction threshold more than 10 dB after mastoid cavity obliteration with highly purified beta-TCP or complained of postoperative vertigo or dizziness.Highly purified beta-TCP may be safe and reliable for mastoid obliteration. Highly purified beta-TCP may also be useful in other surgical procedures, including posterior wall reconstruction of the external auditory canal and scutum plasty.

T1  - Helen Lowy and Earl Browder. The Genealogy of a KGB Agent and her Relationship to the Chief of the CPUSA
AN  - 772286435; 201056799
AB  - An investigation into the genealogy of American KGB agent Helen Lowry focuses on the possibility that she was the niece of Kansan Earl Browder, chief of the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) from the early 1930s to 1945. Lowry married leading KGB field officer Iskhak Abdulovich Akhmerov whom she had worked with when he served in the US. When his tour ended in 1939 she accompanied him to the USSR, became a Soviet citizen, & worked as a KGB agent under the cover names of Elsa, Nelly, Stella, & Catherine. Although there were numerous claims that Browder had a niece involved in Soviet espionage, no sources clearly pinned Helen Lowry's parentage down to one of Earl's siblings. An examination of biographical, archival, & census documents points out numerous discrepancies & name confusions to conclude that Helen was the half-sister of Earl Browder's half-nephew, John C. Lowry, which does not technically make her Earl's niece but comes close. The family relationship helps to explain how Helen became involved in CPUSA activities & Soviet espionage. J. Lindroth

T1  - Perceiving the speech of multiple concurrent talkers in a combined divided and selective attention task.
AN  - 742780857; pmid-18247646
AB  - Detection and identification of concurrently spoken key words was investigated using the Coordinate Response Measure corpus. On every trial, listeners first had to explicitly detect callsign keywords in a multi-talker stimulus (divided attention), and, if all callsigns were present, identify the color and number words produced by one of the talkers (selective attention). Increasing the number of concurrent talkers and the number of callsigns to be detected each had a marked negative effect on detection and identification performance. These findings indicate that, when memory involvement is limited, listeners cannot reliably detect more than two concurrently spoken words in diotic listening.

T1  - Pharmacodynamics of doxycycline in a murine malaria model.
AN  - 68526210; 17876000
AB  - Doxycycline is reported to impair second-generation parasite schizogony. The effects of doxycycline alone and combined with dihydroartemisinin were investigated in a murine malaria model. Doxycycline lowered the rate of parasite growth within 2 days, with maximum effect in 6 days. Addition of dihydroartemisinin led to an additive antimalarial effect.

T1  - The impact of a computerized work environment on professional occupational groups and behavioural and physiological risk factors for musculoskeletal symptoms: a literature review.
AN  - 68504163; 17987369
AB  - Computers have become an essential tool for many office based professional occupations, but their use is also accompanied by change to work demands and psychosocial work environment. Whilst considerable research exists relating to the potential health risks associated with computer work amongst semi-skilled occupations, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding the impact of an increasingly computerized workplace on the physical and psychological wellbeing of professional occupations.
          A literature search was conducted using OVID Medline, PsycINFO and Cinahl databases. Papers published between 1980 and 2007 were selected for review. These included epidemiological and experimental studies that explored the relationships among occupational demands and stressors, work behaviours and musculoskeletal health in workers operating in a computerized work environment. In response to workload, deadline and performance monitoring pressures, many professional workers are often encouraged to perform long hours of computer work with high mental demands; work at a hectic workpace resulting in heightened muscle tension and forces, and with inadequate work breaks. These factors were identified in this review as risk factors for work related musculoskeletal symptoms.
          As new technology continues to computerise the way professionals do their work, it is important for organizations to identify and measure the risks to health and wellbeing associated with these changes. Further research with professional groups is needed to support effective risk management decisions.

T1  - Enrolling the Citizen in Sustainability: Membership Categorization, Morality and Civic Participation
AN  - 61663750; 200815968
AB  - This article examines the common-sense and methodical ways in which 'the citizen' is produced and enrolled as an active participant in 'sustainable' regional planning. Using Membership Categorization Analysis, we explicate how the categorization procedures in the Foreword of a draft regional planning policy interactionally produce the identity of 'the citizen' and 'civic values and obligations' in relation to geographic place and institutional categories. Furthermore, we show how positioning practices establish a relationship between authors (government) and readers (citizens) where both are ascribed with the same moral values and obligations toward the region. Hence, 'the citizen' as an active participant in 'sustainable' regional planning is viewed as a practical accomplishment that is underpinned by a normative morality associated with the task of producing orderliness in 'text-in-interaction.'.

T1  - Social capital: implications from an investigation of illegal anabolic steroid networks
AN  - 57239954; 200812185
AB  - Numerous studies have linked the constructs of social capital with behaviours that are health enhancing. The factors of social trust, social cohesion, sense of belonging, civic involvement, volunteer activity, social engagement and social reciprocity are all associated with social capital and their existence is often linked with communities or settings where health enhancement is high. Utilizing an interpretive perspective, this paper demonstrates how the existence of social capital may enhance the transition into drug use, the experience of using an illegal drug and decrease the risk of detection. It highlights how social capital may contribute to behaviours which are not health enhancing. Using a variety of data, including participant observation of 147 male anabolic steroid users and 98 semi-structured in-depth interviews with male anabolic steroid users, dealers and distributors it was found that social capital facilitated the operation of the illegal anabolic steroid distribution network. The subcultural norms and social trust that existed within the network allowed anabolic steroid dealers to sell the drug to others with reduced risk of detection. It is argued that social capital facilitates the distribution of illegal anabolic steroids and that social capital is a non-discriminatory concept, that may enhance both negative and positive health-related behaviours.

T1  - Collegial influence and judicial voting change: the effect of membership change on U.S. supreme court justices
AN  - 36829901; 3518209
AB  - Understanding the source of voting changes by appellate judges provides an important window into the factors that shape the votes of the judges more generally. We argue that membership changes, by altering the collegial context in which judges make their choices, affect the information environment, long-term collegial considerations, and short-term strategic calculations. As a result, membership change should lead to greater uncertainty and more frequent voting changes among continuing justices in the term following a replacement. We test this proposition by looking at vote change by justices of the U.S. Supreme Court in two separate analyses: justices' votes on search-and-seizure cases since Mapp v. Ohio (1961) and on the progeny of Miranda v. Arizona (1966). Our results support the argument that the collegial context helps explain changes in voting choices. Our analysis suggests that collegial considerations are an important component of judges' behavior and merit further evaluation in a cross-national context.

T1  - Does the Effect of PM sub 10 on Mortality Depend on PM Nickel and Vanadium Content? A Reanalysis of the NMMAPS Data
AN  - 21175581; 11395801
AB  - BACKGROUND: Lack of knowledge regarding particulate matter (PM) characteristics associated with toxicity is a crucial research gap. Short-term effects of PM can vary by location, possibly reflecting regional differences in mixtures. A report by Lippmann et al. [Lippmann et al., Environ Health Perspect 114:1662-1669 (2006)] analyzed mortality effect estimates from the National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS) for 1987-1994. They found that average concentrations of nickel or vanadium in PM2.5 (PM with aerodynamic diameter 2.5 microm) positively modified the lag-1 day association between PM10 and all-cause mortality. OBJECTIVE: We reestimated the relationship between county-specific lag-1 PM10 (PM with aerodynamic diameter 10 microm) effects on mortality and county-specific nickel or vanadium PM2.5 average concentrations using 1987-2000 effect estimates. We explored whether such modification is sensitive to outliers. METHODS: We estimated long-term average county-level nickel and vanadium PM2.5 concentrations for 2000-2005 for 72 U.S. counties representing 69 communities. We fitted Bayesian hierarchical regression models to investigate whether county-specific short-term effects of PM10 on mortality are modified by long-term county-specific nickel or vanadium PM2.5 concentrations. We conducted sensitivity analyses by excluding individual communities and considering log-transformed data. RESULTS: Our results were consistent with those of Lippmann et al. However, we found that when counties included in the NMMAPS New York community were excluded from the sensitivity analysis, the evidence of effect modification of nickel or vanadium on the short-term effects of PM10 mortality was much weaker and no longer statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis does not contradict the hypothesis that nickel or vanadium may increase the risk of PM to human health, but it highlights the sensitivity of findings to particularly influential observations.

T1  - Elevated Risk of Carrying Gentamicin-Resistant Escherichia coli among U.S. Poultry Workers
AN  - 21172504; 11395792
AB  - BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial use in food-animal production is an issue of growing concern. The application of antimicrobials for therapy, prophylaxis, and growth promotion in broiler chicken production has been associated with the emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant enteric bacteria. Although human exposure to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria through food has been examined extensively, little attention has been paid to occupational and environmental pathways of exposure. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to measure the relative risk for colonization with antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli among poultry workers compared with community referents. METHODS: We collected stool samples and health surveys from 16 poultry workers and 33 community referents in the Delmarva region of Maryland and Virginia. E. coli was cultured from stool samples, and susceptibility to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, and tetracycline was determined for each E. coli isolate. We estimated the relative risk for carrying antimicrobial-resistant E. coli among poultry workers compared with community referents. RESULTS: Poultry workers had 32 times the odds of carrying gentamicin-resistant E. coli compared with community referents. The poultry workers were also at significantly increased risk of carrying multidrug-resistant E. coli. CONCLUSIONS: Occupational exposure to antimicrobial-resistant E. coli from live-animal contact in the broiler chicken industry may be an important route of entry for antimicrobial-resistant E. coli into the community.

T1  - Meeting Report: The Use of Newborn Blood Spots in Environmental Research: Opportunities and Challenges
AN  - 21172176; 11395791
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Dried blood spots (DBS) are routinely collected from newborns in the United States using a heel stick. The DBS are screened for inborn errors of metabolism and other disorders. More states are keeping residual spots and making them available for research purposes. DNA extraction from the DBS has been widely applied; however, the development of methods to measure a range of environmental toxicants in DBS has been a more recent goal for laboratory scientists and epidemiologists. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the meeting was to examine the utility of DBS to measure environmental exposures. Speakers and discussants were invited to present data and discuss approaches to measure a range of analytes using DBS. RESULTS: This meeting was held on 20 February 2007 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The audience consisted of epidemiologists, chemists, and staff from state public health programs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. The meeting included presentations on measurement of flame-retarding chemicals and pesticides, metals, perchlorate, infectious agents, markers of immune status, and protein adducts. Analytical methods included mass spectrometry, atomic absorption, molecular methods, and microfluidic techniques. Significant progress was reported, but important challenges remain. Concerns including storage conditions, sample volume, contamination, and normalization require additional systematic evaluation. In addition, DBS storage and access policies require coordination. CONCLUSIONS: DBS remain a highly valuable resource for clinical, epidemiologic, and toxicologic investigation. The use of DBS to measure environmental exposures shows promise but additional work is necessary before more widespread use is warranted.

T1  - Case Report: A Metabolic Disorder Presenting as Pediatric Manganism
AN  - 21168909; 11395786
AB  - CONTEXT: Manganese is a trace element, essential for physiologic functioning but neurotoxic at high doses. Common exposure sources include dietary intake as well as drinking water in some regions; toxicity is most often associated with inhalation exposures in occupational settings. In this article we describe the investigation of a pediatric case of manganism using both clinical and environmental assessment methods. CASE PRESENTATION: A previously healthy 6-year-old child presented with severe Mn neurotoxicity, iron deficiency, and elevated cobalt levels. Immediate and selected extended family members had elevated plasma Mn but remained asymptomatic. An exposure assessment identified seasonal ingestion exposures to Mn at the family's summer cottage; these were common to the four immediate family members. Well water used for drinking and cooking exceeded recommended guidelines, and foods high in Mn predominated in their diet. No inhalation exposures were identified. Only pica was unique to the patient. DISCUSSION: The combined evidence of the environmental assessment and biomonitoring of blood Mn levels supported a seasonal ingestion exposure source; this alone was insufficient to explain the toxicity because the patient's 7-year-old sibling was asymptomatic with almost identical exposures (except pica). A metabolic disorder involving divalent metals (Mn, Fe, and Co) interacting with environmental exposures is the most likely explanation. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL OR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE: This case report adds to the emerging body of evidence linking neurologic effects to ingestion Mn exposure.

T1  - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Interventions Used to Reduce Exposure to House Dust and Their Effect on the Development and Severity of Asthma
AN  - 21150639; 11395799
AB  - OBJECTIVES: We assessed whether any household dust reduction intervention has the effect of increasing or decreasing the development or severity of atopic disease. DATA SOURCES: Electronic searches on household intervention and atopic disease were conducted in January 2007 in EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. No date or language restriction was placed on the literature search. DATA EXTRACTION: We included randomized controlled trials comparing asthma outcomes in a household intervention group with either placebo intervention or no intervention. DATA SYNTHESIS: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Eight recruited antenatally and measured development of atopic disease. Six recruited known atopic individuals and measured disease status change. Meta-analyses on the prevention studies found that the interventions made no difference to the onset of wheeze but made a significant reduction in physician-diagnosed asthma. Meta-analysis of lung function outcomes indicated no improvement due to the interventions but found a reduction in symptom days. Qualitatively, health care was used less in those receiving interventions. However, in one study that compared intervention, placebo, and control arms, the reduction in heath care use was similar in the placebo and intervention arms. CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that there is not sufficient evidence to suggest implementing hygiene measures in an attempt to improve outcomes in existing atopic disease, but interventions from birth in those at high risk of atopy are useful in preventing diagnosed asthma but not parental-reported wheeze.

T1  - System Identification From Multiple Short-Time-Duration Signals
AN  - 20881819; 8412753
AB  - System identification problems often arise where the only modeling records available consist of multiple short-time-duration signals. This motivates the development of a modeling approach that is tailored for this situation. An identification algorithm is presented here for parameter estimation based on minimizing, the simulated prediction error, across multiple signals. The additional complexity of estimating the initial states corresponding to each signal is removed from the estimation algorithm. A numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed algorithm performs well in comparison to the often-used least squares method (which leads to biased estimates when identifying systems from measurement noise corrupted signals). The approach is applied to the identification of the passive oculomotor plant; parameters are estimated that describe the dynamics of the plant, which represent the time constants of the visco-elastic elements that characterize the piant connective tissue.

TT  - Dossier Evolution et creationnisme Creationism and Intelligent Design: a critique
AN  - 20715752; 8234787
AB  - Growing anti-evolution sentiments from within a sector of the United States population led to the Scopes trial in 1925. The trial, pitting fundamentalism against science, revolved around John Scopes, an itinerant biology teacher, who had used a science text that discussed evolution. Lasting over a week, the trial was somewhat of a fiasco, as the defence asked that Scopes be found guilty (anticipating the opportunity for appeal at a higher court). The appeal was successful (on a technicality), but nonetheless stopped the "anti-evolution movement" in its tracks for almost 80 years. The Creationist movement was relatively quiet over subsequent years, but has recently rejoined the debate, with a new twist - "Intelligent Design" (ID).

T1  - The composition, trend and impact of urban solid waste in Beijing
AN  - 20684419; 8140985
AB  - This paper provides an overview of the trend of generation, composition, and management of municipal solid waste, and estimates the carbon emissions arising from municipal solid waste management in Beijing. The correlation analysis conducted shows that the generation of municipal solid waste in Beijing has been growing steadily, showing high correlations (r > 0.9) to the total GDP, per capita income, and the population. Food waste showed an increasing trend since 1990. Compared with the results of an investigation in 1990, ash and woodchips content in 2003 declined from 56% to 17%, while the percentage of paper and plastic increased from 10% to 29% over the same period. The calorific value of the municipal waste also increased, from 2,686 kJ/kg in 1990 to 4,667 kJ/kg in 2003, indicating that the waste is suitable for incineration. Currently, the source separation ratio of municipal waste is approximately 15%. About 94% of all the collected solid waste goes to the landfill while 4% is composted and 2% is incinerated. A moderate garbage collection fee is applied to both permanent and temporary residents in Beijing, but the willingness to pay for solid waste collection and treatment is still low. Under current treatment mode, the total amounts of carbon emission from waste disposal sites and incineration increased with the increase of municipal solid waste, from 29.8 Gg in 1990 to 84.5 Gg in 2003, including 83.3 Gg of CH sub(4) and 22.0 Gg of CO sub(2). The data availability and methodological challenges in monitoring the quantity and characteristics of municipal solid waste are discussed.

T1  - How is climate change perceived in relation to other socioeconomic and environmental threats in Nairobi, Kenya?
AN  - 20680110; 8140612
AB  - This article examines the perception of climate change, in relation to 21 other socioeconomic and environmental problems, on the part of 132 respondents to a survey conducted in the city of Nairobi, Kenya. Factor analysis, used to condense these interrelated problems into a few dimensions, identified two overriding threats: the first being to socioeconomic security, and the second to the physical environment. Threats to socioeconomic security explained 76.6% of the variance in the rating of environmental and socioeconomic problems facing Nairobi, with very high factor loadings from corruption, unemployment, crime, street children, garbage, transport, poverty, pollution of Nairobi River, HIV/AIDS and immorality/promiscuity. Threats to the physical and living environment explained 22.2% of the variance in the rating of environmental and socioeconomic problems facing Nairobi. We were led to conclude that the respondents did not perceive climate change as being a significant problem in Nairobi. The global concern about climate change appeared like a mere drop in the oceanic context pervaded by problems of poverty, unemployment, crime and corruption, etc. which Nairobi faces, as does Kenya as a whole. Our conclusion is partially reflected in the priorities of the Kenyan government, which focus on poverty alleviation, the fight against crime and graft, improved access to education, and on addressing health problems; it also poses a challenge to the climate change community to find ways to making interventions relevant to local socioeconomic reality facing a developing country city like Nairobi. There may be a need to reconsider 'whose reality counts' (borrowing from Robert Chambers, Whose reality counts? Putting the first last, Intermediate Technology Publications, London, p 122, 1997) in addressing climate change: should protracted Kyoto protocol negotiations be given priority or should a long lasting solution be sought to socioeconomic problems facing developing world cities such as Nairobi? We recommend that the ongoing efforts at integrating climate risk management, as components of climate-sensitive sustainable development, be studied in many settings, with a focus on the developing world which is the most vulnerable, in order to inform decision-making and development of intervention measures.

T1  - Adapting agriculture to climate change
AN  - 20553234; 7937479
AB  - The strong trends in climate change already evident, the likelihood of further changes occurring, and the increasing scale of potential climate impacts give urgency to addressing agricultural adaptation more coherently. There are many potential adaptation options available for marginal change of existing agricultural systems, often variations of existing climate risk management. We show that implementation of these options is likely to have substantial benefits under moderate climate change for some cropping systems. However, there are limits to their effectiveness under more severe climate changes. Hence, more systemic changes in resource allocation need to be considered, such as targeted diversification of production systems and livelihoods. We argue that achieving increased adaptation action will necessitate integration of climate change-related issues with other risk factors, such as climate variability and market risk, and with other policy domains, such as sustainable development. Dealing with the many barriers to effective adaptation will require a comprehensive and dynamic policy approach covering a range of scales and issues, for example, from the understanding by farmers of change in risk profiles to the establishment of efficient markets that facilitate response strategies. Science, too, has to adapt. Multidisciplinary problems require multidisciplinary solutions, i.e., a focus on integrated rather than disciplinary science and a strengthening of the interface with decision makers. A crucial component of this approach is the implementation of adaptation assessment frameworks that are relevant, robust, and easily operated by all stakeholders, practitioners, policymakers, and scientists.

T1  - In vitro Mass Propagation of Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) var. Isd 32 through Shoot tips and Folded Leaves Culture
AN  - 20452131; 8024851
AB  - Plant tissue culture is the most commercially successful aspect of plant biotechnology, which has introduced an exciting new phase into plant propagation and breeding. This paper presents a research finding that establish an efficient regeneration method for mass propagation of sugarcane var. Isd 32 using shoot tip and folded leaf as explants. In this study, in vitro shoot tip and folded leaf culture techniques were used for mass propagation and quality production of sugarcane plantlets. The explants of sugarcane var. Isd 32 was cultured on MS + 1.5 mg L super(-1) BA + 0.5 mg L super(-1) NAA for shoot tip and MS + 0.5 mg IT super(-1) Kin + 5.0 mg L super(-1) NAA for folded leaf. Culture after 30 days, about 90 and 80% of the shoot tip and folded leaf explants, respectively were successfully regenerated shoots. The average number and length of shoots from shoot tip explants was observed as 17.20 plus or minus 1.30 and 7.20 plus or minus 1.40 cm, respectively. Similarly, the average number and length of shoots from folded leaf explants was observed as 20.20 plus or minus 2.20 and 6.70 plus or minus 1.20 cm, respectively. Presence of callus and morphological variants were not observed during the passage of in vitro culture. There is no efficient regeneration technique that had been established for mass propagation of sugarcane var. Isd 32. The proposed technique can be used to enhance mass production of sugarcane crop economically especially with the present trend of demand of sugarcane in the region.

T1  - Endocrine Disruptors and the Thyroid Gland-A Combined in Vitro and in Vivo Analysis of Potential New Biomarkers
AN  - 20355473; 9031469
AB  - Background There is growing evidence that, in addition to the reproductive system, the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis is a target of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). However, this is not reflected adequately in current screening and assessment procedures for endocrine activity that to date determine only general parameters of thyroid function. Objective and Methods We used several in vitro and ex vivo assays in an attempt to identify suitable biomarkers for antithyroid action testing a selected panel of putative EDCs. Results In vitro we detected stimulation or inhibition of iodide uptake into FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells, inhibition of thyroid hormone binding to transthyretin, agonistic or antagonistic effects in a thyroid hormone receptor-dependent reporter assay, and inhibition of thyroid peroxidase using a novel assay system based on human recombinant thyroperoxidase that might be suitable for routine screening for potential EDCs. In rats, chronic application of several EDCs led to changes in thyroid morphology, alterations of thyrotropin and thyroid hormone serum levels as well as alterations in peripheral thyroid hormone-regulated end points such as malic enzyme and type I 5'-deiodinase activity. Conclusions As the effects of EDCs do not reflect classic mechanisms of hormone-dependent regulation and feedback, we believe multitarget and multimodal actions of EDCs affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. These complex effects require a diverse approach for screening, evaluation, and risk assessment of potential antithyroid compounds. This approach involves novel in vitro or cell-based screening assays in order to assess thyroid hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and action as well as in vivo assays to measure thyroid hormone-regulated tissue-specific and developmental end points in animals.

T1  - Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfotransferase and Enzymes Involved in PAPS Synthesis: Genomic and Nongenomic Pathways
AN  - 20355446; 9031465
AB  - Background Sulfation plays an important role both in detoxification and in the control of steroid activity. Studies in rodents have shown that the conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to DHEA-sulfate is involved in learning and the memory process. Methods The effects of a range of plasticizers and related compounds commonly encountered in the environment were evaluated kinetically against human DHEA sulfotransferase (SULT 2A1) and by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) against several enzymes involved in the synthesis of the sulfotransferase cofactor adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). Results We found that several of the chemicals acted as competitive inhibitors of SULT 2A1 (K sub(i) for 4-tert-octylphenol is 2.8 mu M). Additionally, after treatment of TE 671 cells with 0.005-0.5 mu M 4-n-octylphenol, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and diisodecyl phthalate, real-time RT-PCR showed dose-dependent decreases in the steady-state mRNA levels of cysteine dioxygenase type I, sulfite oxidase, and 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate synthase I. Conclusions These data suggest that environmental contaminants may exert effects on neuronal function both by direct inhibition of sulfotransferase enzymes and by interrupting the supply of PAPS, which has wider implications for endocrine disruption and xenobiotic metabolism.

T1  - Fish as Biomonitors of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Hexabromocyclododecane in Czech Aquatic Ecosystems: Pollution of the Elbe River Basin
AN  - 20355403; 9031462
AB  - Background Brominated flame retardants (BFRs)-polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)-belong to the group of relatively 'new' environmental contaminants. The occurrence of these compounds in the Czech aquatic ecosystem was for the first time documented within the 3-year monitoring study initiated in 2001. In 2002-2003 HBCD and the major PBDE congeners (28, 47, 49, 66, 85, 99, 100, 153, 154, and 183) were found in 136 freshwater fish samples collected from several sampling sites located at three Czech rivers (Vltava, Elbe, Ticha Orlice). Chub (Leuciscus cephalus), barbel (Barbus barbus), bream (Abramis brama), perch (Perca fluviatilis), and trout (Salmo trutta), representing the most common fish species, were examined by gas chromatography coupled with negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Results The presence of PBDE congeners and HBCD was detected in all analyzed samples (limits of detection for target analyts ranged from 0.015 to 0.1 ng/g lipid weight). Without exception the dominating congener was BDE-47. The most pronounced extent of fish contamination was found in the Vltava river at Klecany, downstream from the industrial agglomeration of Prague. As for fish species, the highest concentrations of PBDEs (sum of congeners) were measured in benthic species, represented by bream and barbel, up to 19.6 ng/g wet weight and 16.5 ng/g wet weight, respectively. The lowest accumulation occurred in predator fish (perch and trout). The highest levels of HBCD were detected in barbel from Srnojedy on the Elbe River (15.6 ng/g wet weight), downstream.

T1  - Enhanced Micronucleus Formation and Modulation of Bcl-2:Bax in MCF-7 Cells after Exposure to Binary Mixtures
AN  - 20355174; 9031472
AB  - Background Within mixtures, interactions between different xenobiotics may occur to give rise to additive, synergistic, inhibitory and/or stimulatory effects in target cells. The role that xenobiotics individually or in mixtures, and at environmental concentrations, play in the etiology of common human diseases often remains obscure. Methods In the presence or absence of lindane, chromosomal aberrations were detected in MCF-7 cells after 24-hr treatment with benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) or 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay. Micronuclei were scored in 1,000 binucleate cells/treatment. We investigated intracellular responses using quantitative gene expression analyses of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A [CDKN1A (P21 super(WAF1/CIP1))], B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), BCL-2-associated X (BAX), and isoforms of cytochrome P450 (CYP), CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1. Immunocytochemical analyses of p53, p21 super(Waf1/Cip1), Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression in MCF-7 cells were also carried out. Results After exposure to binary mixtures of B[a]P plus lindane or PhIP plus lindane, a 10-fold increase in micronucleus formation resulted; these test agents individually induced 2- to 5-fold increases. Lindane increased the ratio of Bcl-2:Bax, as did 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)). Although treatment with B[a]P alone was found to elevate expression of P21 super(WAF1/CIP1) and CYP isoenzymes, it reduced the ratio of BCL-2:BAX mRNA transcripts. Treatment with a binary mixture of 10 super(-8) M B[a]P plus 10 super(-12) M lindane or 10 super(-10) M E sub(2) reversed B[a]P-induced reductions in the ratio of Bcl-2- to Bax-positive cells. In contrast, treatments with PhIP (known to possess hormonelike properties) plus lindane or E sub(2) resulted in profound reductions in Bcl-2:Bax ratio. Conclusions Our results suggest that low-dose treatments (i.e., close to environmental levels) may increase DNA damage while influencing survival in exposed cells and that these effects may depend on the endocrine activity of test agents.

T1  - In Utero Exposure to Di(n-butyl) Phthalate and Testicular Dysgenesis: Comparison of Fetal and Adult End Points and Their Dose Sensitivity
AN  - 20354983; 9031466
AB  - Background Fetal exposure of male rats to di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP) induces reproductive disorders similar to those in human testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS), including infertility, cryptorchidism, focal 'dysgenetic areas,' and Sertoli cell-only tubules in the adult testis. Humans are widely exposed to DBP, but at much lower levels than those causing adverse effects in rats. Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate end points affected by DBP action in rats in fetal and adult life that are relevant to human TDS, and to compare their dose sensitivity. Methods Pregnant rats were gavaged daily with corn oil (control) or with 4, 20, 100, or 500 mg/kg DBP. We examined adult end points of TDS (infertility, cryptorchidism) and indicators within the fetal testis of dysgenesis [abnormal Leydig cell (LC) aggregation, multinucleated gonocytes (MNGs)], as well as conditions that may result from these indicators in adulthood (occurrence of focal dysgenetic areas). Fetal testis weight and testicular testosterone levels were also evaluated. Results The fetal end points analyzed (testicular testosterone levels, abnormal LC aggregation, occurrence of MNGs) were most sensitive to disruption by DBP, as all were significantly affected at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day DBP, with a trend toward effects occurring at 20 mg/kg/day DBP; adult end points were affected consistently only by 500 mg/kg/day DBP. Conclusions The fetal end points we evaluated can be objectively quantified and may prove helpful in evaluating the health risk of exposure to DBP and other phthalates, as well as identifying DBP-sensitive fetal events that have adult consequences/end points that are identifiable in human TDS.

T1  - Combined Exposure to Anti-Androgens Exacerbates Disruption of Sexual Differentiation in the Rat
AN  - 20354977; 9031471
AB  - Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether the joint effects of three androgen receptor antagonists (vinclozolin, flutamide, procymidone) on male sexual differentiation after in utero and postnatal exposures can be predicted based on dose-response data of the individual chemicals. Methods Test chemicals and mixtures were administered by gavage to time-mated nulliparous, young adult Wistar rats from gestational day 7 to the day before expected birth, and from postnatal days 1-16. Changes in anogenital distance (AGD) and nipple retention (NR) in male offspring rats were chosen as end points for extensive dose-response studies. Vinclozolin, flutamide, and procymidone were combined at a mixture ratio proportional to their individual potencies for causing retention of six nipples in male offspring. Results With AGD as the end point, the joint effects of the three anti-androgens were essentially dose additive. The observed responses for NR were slightly higher than those expected on the basis of dose addition. A combination of doses of each chemical, which on its own did not produce statistically significant AGD alterations, induced half-maximal mixture effects. At individual doses associated with only modest effects on NR, the mixture induced NR approaching female values in the males. Conclusions Effects of a mixture of similarly acting anti-androgens can be predicted fairly accurately on the basis of the potency of the individual mixture components by using the dose addition concept. Exposure to anti-androgens, which individually appears to exert only small effects, may induce marked responses in concert with, possibly unrecognized, similarly acting chemicals.

T1  - Estrogen Sensitivity of Target Genes and Expression of Nuclear Receptor Co-Regulators in Rat Prostate after Pre- and Postnatal Exposure to the Ultraviolet Filter 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor
AN  - 20354963; 9031464
AB  - Background and objectives In previous studies, we found that the ultraviolet filter 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC) exhibits estrogenic activity, is a preferential estrogen receptor (ER)- beta ligand, and interferes with development of female reproductive organs and brain of both sexes in rats. Here, we report effects on male development. Methods 4-MBC (0.7, 7, 24, 47 mg/kg/day) was administered in chow to the parent generation before mating, during gestation and lactation, and to offspring until adulthood. mRNA was determined in prostate lobes by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and protein was determined by Western blot analysis. Results 4-MBC delayed male puberty, decreased adult prostate weight, and slightly increased testis weight. Androgen receptor (AR), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), ER- alpha , and ER- beta expression in prostate were altered at mRNA and protein levels, with stronger effects in dorsolateral than ventral prostate. To assess sensitivity of target genes to estrogens, offspring were castrated on postnatal day 70, injected with 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2); 10 or 50 mu g/kg, sc) or vehicle on postnatal day 84, and sacrificed 6 hr later. Acute repression of AR and IGF-1 mRNAs by E sub(2), studied in ventral prostate, was reduced by 4-MBC exposure. This was accompanied by reduced co-repressor N-CoR (nuclear receptor co-repressor) protein in ventral and dorsolateral prostate, whereas steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) protein levels were unaffected. Conclusions Our data indicate that 4-MBC affects development of male reproductive functions and organs, with a lowest observed adverse effect level of 0.7 mg/kg. Nuclear receptor coregulators were revealed as targets for endocrine disruptors, as shown for N-CoR in prostate and SRC-1 in uterus. This may have widespread effects on gene regulation.

T1  - Effects of Chronic Genistein Treatment in Mammary Gland, Uterus, and Vagina
AN  - 20354332; 9031467
AB  - Background The isoflavone genistein (GEN) is found in soy (Glycine max) and red clover (Trifolium pratense). The estrogenic activity of GEN is known, and it is widely advertised as a phytoestrogen useful in alleviating climacteric complaints and other postmenopausal disorders. Knowledge of effects of long-term administration of GEN in laboratory animals is scarce, and effects in the uterus and mammary gland after long-term administration have not been studied. The uterus and mammary gland are known to be negatively influenced by estrogens used in hormone therapy. Objectives We administered two doses of GEN [mean daily uptake 5.4 (low) or 54 mg/kg (high) body weight (bw)] orally over a period of 3 months to ovariectomized (ovx) rats and compared the effects with a treatment with two doses of 17 beta -estradiol [E sub(2); 0.17 (low) or 0.7 mg/kg bw (high)]. Mammary glands, vaginae, and uteri were investigated morphologically and immunohistochemically. We quantified the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the mammary gland. Results In rats treated with either of the E sub(2) doses or the high GEN dose, we found increased uterine weight, and histologic analysis showed estrogen-induced features in the uteri. In vaginae, either E sub(2) dose or GEN high induced hyperplastic epithelium compared with the atrophic controls. In the mammary gland, E sub(2) (either dose) or GEN increased proliferation and PR expression. Serum levels of luteinizing hormone were decreased by E sub(2) (both doses) but not by GEN. Conclusions In summary, E sub(2) and GEN share many effects in the studied organs, particularly in the vagina, uterus, and mammary gland but not in the hypothalamo/pituitary unit.

AN  - 20354290; 9031463
AB  - Background Concentrations of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are reported to increase in marine ecosystems. Objectives Characterize exposure to BFRs in animals from different trophic levels in North-East Atlantic coastal marine ecosystems along a latitudinal gradient from southern Norway to Spitsbergen, Svalbard, in the Arctic. Calanoid species were collected from the Oslofjord (59 degree N), Froan (64 degree N), and Spitsbergen (> 78 degree N); Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from the Oslofjord and Froan; polar cod (Boreogadus saida) from Bear Island (74 degree N) and Spitsbergen; harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) from the Oslofjord, Froan, and Spitsbergen; and ringed seal (Phoca vitulina) from Spitsbergen. Eggs of common tern (Sterna hirundo) were collected from the Oslofjord, and eggs of arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) from Froan and Spitsbergen. Results Levels of polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) generally decreased as a function of increasing latitude, reflecting distance from release sources. The clear latitudinal decrease in levels of BFRs was not pronounced in the two tern species, most likely because they are exposed during migration. The decabrominated compound BDE-209 was detected in animals from all three ecosystems, and the highest levels were found in arctic tern eggs from Spitsbergen. HBCD was found in animals from all trophic levels, except for in calanoids at Froan and Spitsbergen. Conclusions Even though the levels of PBDEs and HBCD are generally low in North-East Atlantic coastal marine ecosystems, there are concerns about the relatively high presence of BDE-209 and HBCD.

T1  - Endocrine-Disrupting Potential of Bisphenol A, Bisphenol A Dimethacrylate, 4-n-Nonylphenol, and 4-n-Octylphenol in Vitro: New Data and a Brief Review
AN  - 20353124; 9031468
AB  - Background An array of environmental compounds is known to possess endocrine disruption (ED) potentials. Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BPA-DM) are monomers used to a high extent in the plastic industry and as dental sealants. Alkylphenols such as 4-n-nonylphenol (nNP) and 4-n-octylphenol (nOP) are widely used as surfactants. Objectives We investigated the effect in vitro of these four compounds on four key cell mechanisms including transactivation of a) the human estrogen receptor (ER), b) the human androgen receptor (AR), c) the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and d) aromatase activity. Results All four compounds inhibited aromatase activity and were agonists and antagonists of ER and AR, respectively. nNP increased AhR activity concentration-dependently and further increased the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin AhR action. nOP caused dual responses with a weak increased and a decreased AhR activity at lower (10 super(-8) M) and higher concentrations (10 super(-5)-10 super(-4) M), respectively. AhR activity was inhibited with BPA (10 super(-5)-10 super(-4) M) and weakly increased with BPA-DM (10 super(-5) M), respectively. nNP showed the highest relative potency (REP) compared with the respective controls in the ER, AhR, and aromatase assays, whereas similar REP was observed for the four chemicals in the AR assay. Conclusion Our in vitro data clearly indicate that the four industrial compounds have ED potentials and that the effects can be mediated via several cellular pathways, including the two sex steroid hormone receptors (ER and AR), aromatase activity converting testosterone to estrogen, and AhR; AhR is involved in syntheses of steroids and metabolism of steroids and xenobiotic compounds.

T1  - Semen Quality in Relation to Xenohormone and Dioxin-like Serum Activity Among Inuits and Three European Populations
AN  - 20353095; 9031460
AB  - Background Semen quality in humans may be influenced by exposure to endocrine-disrupting compounds. Objectives We analyzed associations between semen characteristics and serum xenoestrogen receptor (XER), xenoandrogen receptor (XAR), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) transactivity. XER and XAR activity were measured in serum samples cleared for endogenous steroid hormones and AhR activity in raw lipophilic serum extracts free of proteins. Results All together, 319 men from Warsaw (Poland), Greenland, Kharkiv (Ukraine), and Sweden provided semen and blood samples. No strong and consistent associations between xenobiotic activity and semen quality measures were observed in the four populations. However, when the data were combined across populations sperm concentration increased 40% per unit increase in XER activity [95% confidence interval (CI), 1-79%] in the subgroup with XER activity below the reference level. Among subjects with XER activity above the reference level an increase of 14% (95% CI, 2-28%) was found. Furthermore, an increase of 10% motile sperm per unit increase in XER activity below reference level (95% CI, 0.2-20) was found. We are unable to exclude that the associations are chance findings. Conclusion Alteration of XER, XAR, or AhR transactivity within the range found in serum from the general European and Inuit population seems not to markedly deteriorate sperm cell concentration, motility, or morphology in adult men.

T1  - Human Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Prenatal Risk Factors for Cryptorchidism and Hypospadias: A Nested Case-Control Study
AN  - 20353085; 9031459
AB  - Background Exposure to xenoestrogens during pregnancy may disturb the development and function of male sexual organs. Objective In this study we aimed to determine whether the combined effect of environmental estrogens measured as total effective xenoestrogen burden (TEXB) is a risk factor for male urogenital malformations. Methods In a case-control study, nested in a mother-child cohort (n = 702) established at Granada University Hospital, we compared 50 newborns with diagnosis of cryptorchidism and/or hypospadias with 114 boys without malformations matched by gestational age, date of birth, and parity. Controls did not differ from the total cohort in confounding variables. TEXB and levels of 16 organochlorine pesticides were measured in placenta tissues. Characteristics of parents, pregnancy, and birth were gathered by questionnaire. We used conditional and unconditional regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results TEXB from organohalogenated compounds was detectable in 72% and 54% of case and control placentas, respectively. Compared with controls, cases had an OR for detectable versus non-detectable TEXB of 2.82 (95% CI, 1.10-7.24). More pesticides were detected in cases than in controls (9.34 plus or minus 3.19 vs. 6.97 plus or minus 3.93). ORs for cases with detectable levels of pesticides, after adjusting for potential confounders in the conditional regression analysis, were o,p'-DDT (OR = 2.25; 95% CI, 1.03-4.89), p,p'-DDT (OR = 2.63; 95% CI, 1.21-5.72), lindane (OR = 3.38; 95% CI, 1.36-8.38), mirex (OR = 2.85; 95% CI, 1.22-6.66), and endosulfan alpha (OR = 2.19; 95% CI, 0.99-4.82). Engagement of mothers in agriculture (OR = 3.47; 95% CI, 1.33-9.03), fathers' occupational exposure to xenoestrogens (OR = 2.98; 95% CI, 1.11-8.01), and history of previous stillbirths (OR = 4.20; 95% CI, 1.11-16.66) were also associated with risk of malformations. Conclusions We found an increased risk for male urogenital malformations related to the combined effect of environmental estrogens in placenta.

T1  - Frequency of Alleles Conferring Resistance to the Bt Toxins Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab in Australian Populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
AN  - 19891640; 8700763
AB  - Helicoverpa armigera (Huebner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important lepidopteran pest of cotton (Gossypium spp.) in Australia and the Old World. From 2002, F2 screens were used to examine the frequency of resistance alleles in Australian populations of H. armigera to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab, the two insecticidal proteins present in the transgenic cotton Bollgard II. At that time, Ingard (expressing Cry1Ac) cotton had been grown in Australia for seven seasons, and Bollgard II was about to be commercially released. The principal objective of our study was to determine whether sustained exposure caused an elevated frequency of alleles conferring resistance to Cry1Ac in a species with a track record of evolving resistance to conventional insecticides. No major alleles conferring resistance to Cry1Ac were found. The frequency of resistance alleles for Cry1Ac was <0.0003, with a 95% credibility interval between 0 and 0.0009. In contrast, alleles conferring resistance to Cry2Ab were found at a frequency of 0.0033 (0.0017, 0.0055). The first isolation of this allele was found before the widespread deployment of Bollgard II. For both toxins the experiment-wise detection probability was 94.4%. Our results suggest that alleles conferring resistance to Cry1Ac are rare and that a relatively high baseline frequency of alleles conferring resistance to Cry2Ab existed before the introduction of Bt cotton containing this toxin.

T1  - Fire disturbance and forest structure in old-growth mixed conifer forests in the northern Sierra Nevada, California
AN  - 19341130; 8704552
AB  - Question: This study evaluates how fire regimes influence stand structure and dynamics in old-growth mixed conifer forests across a range of environmental settings. Location: A 2000-ha area of mixed conifer forest on the west shore of Lake Tahoe in the northern Sierra Nevada, California. Methods: We quantified the age, size, and spatial structure of trees in 12 mixed conifer stands distributed across major topographic gradients. Fire history was reconstructed in each stand using fire scar dendrochronology. The influence of fire on stand structure was assessed by comparing the fire history with the age, size, and spatial structure of trees in a stand. Results: There was significant variation in species composition among stands, but not in the size, age and spatial patterning of trees. Stands had multiple size and age classes with clusters of similar aged trees occurring at scales of 113 - 254 m2. The frequency and severity of fires was also similar, and stands burned with low to moderate severity in the dormant season on average every 9 - 17 years. Most fires were not synchronized among stands except in very dry years. No fires have burned since ca. 1880. Conclusions: Fire and forest structure interact to perpetuate similar stand characteristics across a range of environmental settings. Fire occurrence is controlled primarily by spatial variation in fuel mosaics (e.g. patterns of abundance, fuel moisture, forest structure), but regional drought synchronizes fire in some years. Fire exclusion over the last 120 years has caused compositional and structural shifts in these mixed conifer forests. Nomenclature:Hickman (1993).

T1  - Predicting High Physical Function in People With Fibromyalgia
AN  - 1492635055; 7994336
AB  - Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors of high physical function in people with fibromyalgia (FM).Design: Cross-sectional descriptive, correlational study of 2,580 persons with FM who responded to an online survey during fall 2005.Methods: The survey indicated self-reported physical activity levels, functional abilities, symptoms, health care costs, employment status, work productivity, self management strategies. It had adequate validity and reliability. A significant binary logistic regression model of predictors of physical function (individual factors, symptoms, self management strategies) was validated using backwards logistic regression.Findings: Significant explanatory variables of high physical function were: men, greater education, younger age, lower intensity fatigue, spasticity, and balance problems, not using prescription pain medications, using aerobic or strength training exercise, and not using relaxation methods.Conclusions: People with FM suffer from multiple symptoms and use many modalities to control symptoms to remain functional. Given knowledge of predictors of physical function in FM, health care providers might be able to develop strategies to promote better functioning. Prospective trials are needed to track the natural course of study variables, measuring their effect on function, and to test effects of interventions to maximize function.

T1  - Ambient Levels of Air Pollution Induce Goblet-Cell Hyperplasia in Human Conjunctival Epithelium
AN  - 14847149; 10727618
AB  - Effect of air pollution on the ocular surface by combining determinations of individual exposure and conjunctival impression cytology is investigated. Conjunctival goblet cells are slow cycling cells that may proliferate in response to chronic inflammatory stimuli. A positive and significant correlation is demonstrated between gradients of exposure and intensity of goblet-cell hyperplasia. The findings suggest that some individuals have greater susceptibility to airborne toxic agents. It is shown that the relationship between NO sub(2) and goblet-cell hyperplasia is linear and without a threshold or plateau. The combination of simple measurements of exposure and impression cytology is shown to be an effective and noninvasive approach to characterize human response to ambient levels of air pollution.

T1  - Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Lead and Other Toxic Heavy Metals: The Next Generation of Personal Exposure Biomonitors
AN  - 14847037; 10727609
AB  - Use of electrochemical sensors for the detection of lead and other toxic heavy metals is evaluated. Microanalytical based sensors that work with complex biometrics namely blood, urine, and saliva are being developed and validated. For biomonitoring of Pb, two classes of metal analyzers are developed: metal analyzer based on flow injection analysis and stripping voltammetry of Pb at a Hg-film electrode and metal analyzers made up of Hg-free developed by exploiting novel nanostructure materials. Three self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous support (SAMMS) materials are used in both batch and automated flow measurements of Pb as well as in disposable sensors for field screening. The results conclude that the Pb preconcentration is short and requires no electrolyte and sample degassing.

T1  - Cumulative Community-Level Lead Exposure and Pulse Pressure: The Normative Aging Study
AN  - 14845212; 10727611
AB  - Effects of community-level lead exposure on pulse exposure are investigated. Cumulative community-level lead exposure is independently associated with increased pulse pressure. The results are consistent with the concept that bone lead level is a better indicator of cumulative lead exposure. Observations in lead-exposed animals strongly suggest that vascular oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of lead-induced hypertension and vascular disease. It is found that men with bone lead levels above the median have pulse pressures that are on average 4.2 mm Hg higher compared with men with lower bone lead levels. It is concluded that cumulative lead exposure, as reflected by bone lead level, is independently associated with increased pulse pressure in a cohort of middle-aged and older men with community-level lead exposure.

T1  - Health Impacts of Estrogens in the Environment, Considering Complex Mixture Effects
AN  - 14843412; 10727612
AB  - Contribution of steroidal estrogens to a suite of adverse sublethal effects induced by exposure to wastewater treatment work (WwTw) effluents via a two sets of experiments with a model fish species is investigated. It is shown that steroidal estrogen present in WwTw effluents contributes to a suite of adverse health effects in addition to endocrine disruption. It is demonstrated that the estrogen 17 alpha -ethinylestradiol (EE sub(2)), when a part of complex mixture, can impact differently on measures of health compared with when it is exposed as a single chemical. It is concluded that higher endogenous levels in females may be responsible for the less pronounced treatment effect observed on ethoxy-resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity in the sex.

T1  - Variations in Phytoestrogen Content Between Different Mill Dates of the Same Diet Products Significant Differences in the Time of Vaginal Opening in CD-1 Mice and F344 Rats but Not in CD Sprague-Dawley Rats
AN  - 14842998; 10727614
AB  - Importance of species and diet differences in measuring the estrogenic activity of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) is evaluated. It is found that CD-mouse and the F344 rat are considerably more sensitive to dietary phytoestrogens than the S-D rat. The same diet milled on different data may have significantly different phytoestrogen content, which will cause marked differences in the time of vaginal opening (VO) in CD-1 mice and F344 rats, but less so in S-D rats. It is suggested that variations in the phytoestrogen content of rodent diets can be overcome using soy- and alfalfa-free diets and by eliminating other known sources of estrogens. It is concluded that a standardized open-formula phytoestrogen-deficient diet coupled with a more estrogen sensitive rodent model will be most appropriate to use in bioassays for evaluating the estrogenic activity of EDCs.

T1  - Drinking Water with Uranium Below the U.S. EPA Water Standard Causes Estrogen Receptor-Dependent Responses in Female Mice
AN  - 14842977; 10727613
AB  - Effect of drinking water with uranium below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water standard on the estrogen receptor-dependent responses in female mice is investigated. It is shown that U does not lead to overt organ toxicity. No gross anomalies are found in any major organs, and body weight does not significantly change with uranyl nitrate (UN) exposure at any concentration. The stimulatory effects of U on cells of the ovary, uterus, and vagina suggest that U acts like estrogen in the female reproductive system and is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). It is concluded that health problem may result from inappropriate concentration or timing of exposure to the estrogen mimic.

T1  - Effects of Chronic and Acute Ozone Exposure on Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Capacity in Healthy Young Adults
AN  - 14842944; 10727615
AB  - Effects of chronic and acute ozone exposure on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant capacity in healthy young adults are investigated. It is demonstrated that estimated lifetime exposure to ambient O sub(3) in a cohort of young healthy adults is associated with reduced measures of lung function that reflect the physiology of small airways. Findings indicate that long-term exposure to elevated O sub(3) can contribute to oxidant burden over periods longer than 1 month. The results suggest that repeated exposures to oxidant pollutants can lead to sustained oxidative stress that causes increased lipid peroxidation. The results provide additional evidence that inhalation of O sub(3) causes lipid peroxidation that can be detected in peripheral blood. It is concluded that implications of the results are particularly significant because oxidative stress that results from exposure to ambient pollutants may contribute to lung cancer.

T1  - Prevalence of Self-Reported Diabetes and Exposure to Organochlorine Pesticides Among Mexican Americans: Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-1984
AN  - 14842789; 10727617
AB  - The association between occupations presumed to involve pesticide exposure and prevalence of diabetes is examined. Comparisons to more recent biomonitoring results from National Health and Nutrition examination Survey (NHNES) demonstrate the dramatic decline in measurable levels of organochlorine pesticides in both the Mexican-American and general population. The results need to be interpreted with caution because of the lack of specificity of the association between various organochlorine compounds and diabetes. It is indicated that a positive association that increases with serum is found for most of the compounds evaluated. The results conclude that body weight may play an important yet undetermined role in the association between organochlorine compounds and diabetes.

T1  - In Utero Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure Alters Gene Expression in Lungs of Adult BALB/c Mice
AN  - 14838136; 10727619
AB  - Effect of in utero environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure on the gene expression in lungs of adult BALB/c mice is investigated. In utero ETS alters gene expression in the lung of adult BALB/c mice in response to ovalbumin (OVA) exposure. The results support a gene-environment interaction that results from in utero ETS exposure and that alters the phenotype of adult mice as defined by their gene expression and inflammatory responses to an allergen. The strength of the findings is re-enforced by the consistency of relative group responses across gene expression data, airway function changes, presence of airway inflammatory mediators, and lung histopathology. Data implicate milder, widespread gene expression changes rather than larger more discrete alternations in single gene expression as the mechanism through which these in utero exposures alter adult lung responses.

T1  - Chernobyl: Relationship Between the Number of Missing Newborn Boys and the Level of Radiation in the Czech Regions
AN  - 14837706; 10727624
AB  - Relationship between the number of missing newborn boys and the level of radiation in the Czech regions is examined. A seasonal variation is found in annual birth rates of girls and boys and in the rate of spontaneous abortions. The irradiation from the Chernobyl accident is the only suspected harmful environmental factor with full-area impact that can be taken into consideration. It is observed that the reduction in the number of newborns after the Chernobyl explosion is due to the large release of super(131)I and other shorter-lived isotopes of iodine, which results in damage of thyroid gland in fetuses and/or their mothers. It is concluded that special attention shall be paid to the protection of young children and pregnant women.

T1  - Household Exposure to Pesticides and Risk of Childhood Hematopoietic Malignancies: The ESCALE Study (SFCE)
AN  - 14831290; 10727622
AB  - Relationship between household exposure to pesticides and the risks of childhood acute leukemia (AL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) exposures, using data generated by the French national population-based case-control study, is investigated. It is shown that both maternal and paternal household use of pesticides are significantly associated with childhood AL and NHL, but not with HL. The associations are stronger for common B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) than for T-cell ALL or mature B-cell ALL. Burkitt lymphoma is also more strongly associated with maternal pesticide use during pregnancy than the other NHL. Findings strengthen the hypothesis that domestic use of pesticides may play a role in the etiology of childhood hematopoietic malignancies and support the view that the prenatal period may be particularly vulnerable time window.

T1  - Determinants of Prenatal Exposures to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in an Urban Population
AN  - 14830949; 10727623
AB  - Fetal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and selected polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) among newborns via the assessment of concentrations in umbilical cord serum in Baltimore of Maryland, is characterized. Although PBDEs are found in a variety of household and consumer products, PCBs no longer are manufactured for use, and most existing uses are phased out. Several factors independently predict exposures to PCBs and PCBs in multivariate models. PBDEs tend to decrease with older maternal age, whereas PCBs consistently increases. It is possible that the wide variation detected in cord blood serum levels may be related to interindividual genetic differences that impact the ability to absorb, metabolize, or excrete these compounds.

T1  - Association of Thyroid Hormone Concentrations with Levels of Organochlorine Compounds in Cord Blood of Neonates
AN  - 14830878; 10727621
AB  - Association of thyroid hormone concentrations with levels of organochlorine compounds in cord blood of neonates is examined. It is considered that organohalogen compounds may affect circulating levels of thyroid hormones. Analysis of the umbilical cord blood of nearly 200 neonates reveals a statistically significant, inverse relationship between concentration of organochlorines and levels of both triiodothyronine (fT sub(3)) and free thyroxine (fT sub(4)) but not thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The findings provide evidence for the hypothesis that background exposure to environmental chemicals may affect the thyroid system in human neonates. It is concluded that thyroid hormones are important regulators of brain development.

T1  - Meeting Report: Threats to Human Health and Environmental Sustainability in the Pacific Basin
AN  - 14830837; 10727620
AB  - Threats to human health and environmental sustainability in the Pacific Basin are examined. Effects of pesticides on humans generally are investigated through a combination of measurements that include direct chemical analysis of blood or other tissues, enzyme activities and genetic observations indicative of DNA damage. It is suggested that environmental contributors to childhood asthma need to be considered within a context provided by other factors that are genetic and economic in nature. It is determined that straightforward economical hazardous waste management measures can enhance human exposure significantly. Very large population differences in excreted arsenic forms indicate that there may be important genetic differences in human patterns of arsenic metabolism.

Recognizing that government-funded health care programs ration care and instead putting the money behind a refundable health tax credit could give all Americans the ability to buy a health plan that meets their needs.

T1  - Minamata disease revisited: an update on the acute and chronic manifestations of methyl mercury poisoning.
AN  - 68291771; 17681548
AB  - The first well-documented outbreak of acute methyl mercury (MeHg) poisoning by consumption of contaminated fish occurred in Minamata, Japan, in 1953. The clinical picture was officially recognized and called Minamata disease (MD) in 1956. However, 50 years later there are still arguments about the definition of MD in terms of clinical symptoms and extent of lesions. We provide a historical review of this epidemic and an update of the problem of MeHg toxicity. Since MeHg dispersed from Minamata to the Shiranui Sea, residents living around the sea were exposed to low-dose MeHg through fish consumption for about 20 years (at least from 1950 to 1968). These patients with chronic MeHg poisoning continue to complain of distal paresthesias of the extremities and the lips even 30 years after cessation of exposure to MeHg. Based on findings in these patients the symptoms and lesions in MeHg poisoning are reappraised. The persisting somatosensory disorders after discontinuation of exposure to MeHg were induced by diffuse damage to the somatosensory cortex, but not by damage to the peripheral nervous system, as previously believed.

T1  - Variable Perception of White Noise in Ambiguous Phonetic Contexts: The Case of /p/ and /f/
AN  - 85680688; 200804600
AB  - The roles of spectro-temporal coherence, lexical status, and word position in the perception of speech in acoustic signals containing a mixture of speech and nonspeech sounds were investigated. Stimuli consisted of nine (non)words in which either white noise was inserted only into the silent interval preceding and/or following the onset of vocalic transitions ambiguous between /p/ and /f/, or in which white noise overlaid the entire utterance. Ten listeners perceived 85% /f/s when noise was inserted only into the silent interval signaling a stop closure, 47% /f/s when noise overlaid the entire (non)words, and 1% in the control condition that contained no noise. Effects of spectro-temporal coherence seemed to have dominated perceptual outcomes, although the lexical status and position of the critical phoneme also appeared to affect responses. The results are explained more adequately by the theory of Auditory Scene Analysis than by the Motor Theory of Speech Perception. Adapted from the source document

T1  - Humic acid adsorption on fly ash and its derived unburned carbon.
AN  - 68310224; 17628583
AB  - Fly ash is solid waste from combustion process, containing oxide minerals and unburned carbon. In this investigation, fly ash has been separated into metal oxide mineral section and unburned carbon. The fly ash with different contents of unburned carbon was employed for humic acid adsorption to investigate the influence of unburned carbon on adsorption. It is found that metal oxides and unburned carbon in fly ash exhibit significant difference in humic acid adsorption. The unburned carbon plays the major role in adsorption. Higher content of unburned carbon in fly ash results in higher surface area and thus higher humic acid adsorption. Fly ash and unburned carbon exhibit adsorption capacity of humic acid of 11 and 72 mg/g, respectively, at 30 degrees C, pH 7. Humic acid adsorption is also affected by ion strength, pH, and temperature. The thermodynamic calculations indicate that the adsorption is endothermic nature with DeltaH(0) and DeltaS(0) as 5.79 kJ/mol and 16.0 J/K mol, respectively.

T1  - The Persistence of Hardship Over the Life Course
AN  - 61655991; 200807642
AB  - Status maintenance models have been proposed that suggest stratification of economic status over the life course (e.g., little mobility within the income distribution) and several studies have found evidence to support this, but none have looked at broader measures of well-being. Using 29 years (1968-1996) of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, hypothesis tests and logistic regression techniques are employed to test the relation between middle-age chronic hardship and adverse old-age outcomes. In many cases, individuals who experience middle-age chronic hardships are significantly (statistically) more likely to experience adverse old-age outcomes.

T1  - 'There Was No Plan': An Interview with Rajiv Chandrasekaran
AN  - 60023044; 200934639
AB  - The George W. Bush administration's doctrines of preemption and democratization through military action have been much debated. Discussants have included former members of the military, students of international relations and diplomacy, philosophers, and legal theorists, to name a few. Not surprisingly, the focus of these expostulations has been on the utility of hard and soft power, the international ripple effects of military action and state toppling, and the legal and moral propriety of preemption. For the most part, public administrators have little participated in these debates. This is regrettable, for the central question nestled within any debate over public policy is the question of plausibility. Can this policy be executed successfully? The governance challenges in postconflict states are profound. Who should rule? How should the state be reconstructed? What administrative structures should be erected? Who should staff government offices and bureaucracies, and what principles should guide them? If preemption and democratization are to succeed, then these questions must be answered. Rajiv Chandrasekaran is an assistant managing editor of the Washington Post. His book Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone (Alfred A. Knopf, 2006) is an examination of the Coalition Provisional Authority that governed Iraq from April 2003 through June 2004. Mr. Chandrasekaran has served as the journalist in residence for the International Reporting Project at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies and as a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, D.C. In March 2007, Mr. Chandrasekaran was interviewed by Kevin Kosar on behalf of the Public Administration Review. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Murky waters: Media reporting of marine protected areas in South Australia
AN  - 58751035; 2008-95749
AB  - Given the public's limited knowledge of marine environments, informing the public about marine protection presents a unique challenge. Studies have shown a well-informed public is more likely to support environmental issues and that newspapers, in particular, are considered a credible media source. This research investigates media representations of current South Australian efforts to establish a marine protected area (MPA). Articles from five newspapers between 1999 and 2006 were examined for content in the following areas: local marine ecology, the policy process of MPA establishment and stakeholder views. The research found that newspapers concentrated their reporting on opposing stakeholders, opinions and were largely ineffective in conveying the significance of the local marine ecology, the economic benefits of the MPA, and the delayed establishment process. These information gaps have left the public poorly informed, and therefore, there is unlikely to be significant pressure to overcome the continued delays in the establishment process.

T1  - Seamounts: centres of endemism or species richness for ophiuroids?
AN  - 21017006; 7982647
AB  - Aim To test the hypotheses that seamounts exhibit high rates of endemism and/or species richness compared to surrounding areas of the continental slope and oceanic ridges. Location The south-west Pacific Ocean from 19-57 degree S to 143-171 degree E. Methods Presence/absence museum data were compiled for seamount and non-seamount areas at depths between 100 and 1500 m for the Ophiuroidea (brittle-stars), an abundant and speciose group of benthic invertebrates. Large-scale biogeographical gradients were examined through multivariate analyses at two spatial scales, at the scale of seamounts (< 1 degree of latitude/longitude) and regions (5-9 degree ). The robustness of these patterns to spatially inconsistent sampling effort was tested using Monte Carlo-style simulations. Levels of local endemism and species richness over numbers of samples were compared for seamount and non-seamount areas using linear regressions. Non-seamount populations were randomly generated from areas and depth ranges that reflected the typical sampling profile of seamounts. Results Seamount ophiuroid assemblages did not exhibit elevated levels of species richness or narrow-range endemism compared with non-seamount areas. Seamounts can exhibit high overall species richness for low numbers of samples, particularly on seamounts supporting a dense coral matrix, but this does not increase with additional sampling at the rates found in non-seamount areas. There were relatively few identifiable seamount specialists. In general, seamount faunas reflected those found at similar depths in surrounding areas, including the continental slope. Seamount and non-seamount faunas within the study area exhibited congruent latitudinal and bathymetric species turnover. Main conclusions Seamount faunas were variable for ophiuroid faunal composition, species richness and narrow-range endemism, reflecting their environmental diversity and complex history. The continental slope was also variable, with some areas being particularly species rich. Broad geomorphological habitat categories such as 'seamounts' or 'continental slope' may be at the wrong scale to be useful for conservation planning.

T1  - Coxiella burnetii Inhibits Activation of Host Cell Apoptosis through a Mechanism That Involves Preventing Cytochrome c Release from Mitochondria
AN  - 21001482; 7931964
AB  - Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular pathogen and the etiological agent of the human disease Q fever. C. burnetii infects mammalian cells and then remodels the membrane-bound compartment in which it resides into a unique lysosome-derived organelle that supports bacterial multiplication. To gain insight into the mechanisms by which C. burnetii is able to multiply intracellularly, we examined the ability of host cells to respond to signals that normally induce apoptosis. Our data show that mammalian cells infected with C. burnetii are resistant to apoptosis induced by staurosporine and UV light. C. burnetii infection prevented caspase 3/7 activation and limited fragmentation of the host cell nucleus in response to agonists that induce apoptosis. Inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis reduced the antiapoptotic effect that C. burnetii exerted on infected host cells. Inhibition of apoptosis in C. burnetii-infected cells did not correlate with the degradation of proapoptotic BH3-only proteins involved in activation of the intrinsic cell death pathway; however, cytochrome c release from mitochondria was diminished in cells infected with C. burnetii upon induction of apoptosis. These data indicate that C. burnetii can interfere with the intrinsic cell death pathway during infection by producing proteins that either directly or indirectly prevent release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. It is likely that inhibition of apoptosis by C. burnetii represents an important virulence property that allows this obligate intracellular pathogen to maintain host cell viability despite inducing stress that would normally activate the intrinsic death pathway.

T1  - Airport futures: Towards a critique of the aerotropolis model
AN  - 20851184; 8284921
AB  - It is predicted that the twenty-first century will be dominated by air transport, both for domestic and international carriage of passengers and cargo. Thus the airport, as a driver of regional growth, is expected to become more than merely a regional gateway. Rather, it will function as city in itself, with living spaces for workers and their families, factories relying on airborne inputs and service industries located around the airport, with major road and rail infrastructure connected to it. However, the 'aerotropolis', as this hub for industry and driver of economic development has been called, has not yet been critiqued adequately, especially from a long-term public policy and planning perspective. This article raises concerns about three different dimensions to the aerotropolis regarding its long-term sustainability, viz., energy provision, the security of critical infrastructure and export pathways. In particular, this article argues that air transport will not replace existing components of international economic development. The authors contend that the three dimensions need to be explored in order to arrive at a more balanced view of the aerotropolis and its place in an increasingly complex global future.

T1  - Legionella pneumophila proteins that regulate Rab1 membrane cycling
AN  - 20547844; 7765653
AB  - Rab1 is a GTPase that regulates the transport of endoplasmic-reticulum- derived vesicles in eukaryotic cells. The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila subverts Rab1 function to create a vacuole that supports bacterial replication by a mechanism that is not well understood. Here we describe L. pneumophila proteins that control Rab1 activity directly. We show that a region in the DrrA (defect in Rab1 recruitment A) protein required for recruitment of Rab1 to membranes functions as a guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor displacement factor. A second region of the DrrA protein stimulated Rab1 activation by functioning as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. The LepB protein was found to inactivate Rab1 by stimulating GTP hydrolysis, indicating that LepB has GTPase-activating protein activity that regulates removal of Rab proteins from membranes. Thus, L. pneumophila encodes proteins that regulate three distinct biochemical reactions critical for Rab GTPase membrane cycling to redirect Rab1 to the pathogen-occupied vacuole and to control Rab1 function.

T1  - Contributions to accelerating atmospheric CO sub(2) growth from economic activity, carbon intensity, and efficiency of natural sinks
AN  - 20413515; 7745821
AB  - The growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)), the largest human contributor to human-induced climate change, is increasing rapidly. Three processes contribute to this rapid increase. Two of these processes concern emissions. Recent growth of the world economy combined with an increase in its carbon intensity have led to rapid growth in fossil fuel CO sub(2) emissions since 2000: comparing the 1990s with 2000-2006, the emissions growth rate increased from 1.3% to 3.3% y super(-1). The third process is indicated by increasing evidence (P = 0.89) for a long-term (50-year) increase in the airborne fraction (AF) of CO sub(2) emissions, implying a decline in the efficiency of CO sub(2) sinks on land and oceans in absorbing anthropogenic emissions. Since 2000, the contributions of these three factors to the increase in the atmospheric CO sub(2) growth rate have been approximately 65 plus or minus 16% from increasing global economic activity, 17 plus or minus 6% from the increasing carbon intensity of the global economy, and 18 plus or minus 15% from the increase in AF. An increasing AF is consistent with results of climate-carbon cycle models, but the magnitude of the observed signal appears larger than that estimated by models. All of these changes characterize a carbon cycle that is generating stronger-than-expected and sooner-than-expected climate forcing.

T1  - Oxidation of hydrogen sulphide in sour gas by Chlorobium limicola
AN  - 20267686; 7584414
AB  - The aim of this work was to assess the potential for bacterial oxidation of hydrogen sulphide as a purification method of sour gas. Using a continuous culture of Chlorobium limicola, high efficiencies of oxidation of both soluble and gaseous sulphide were achieved, with efficiencies for the latter exceeding 95%. Sulphide added as aqueous sodium sulphide was converted to sulphur and sulphate with almost total removal of the initial 100mgSl-1 within 24h. Gaseous sulphide was oxidized at an efficiency of 95% (approximately 3mmolSh-1(unitbiomassAbs)-1) over 1h runs at a gas flow rate of 60mlmin-1. With a sulphur recovery system to prevent sulphur accumulation, an efficiency of 70% was maintained. Biological removal of sulphide represents a potentially important biotechnological process, with high potential for viable scale up.

T1  - An analysis of nucleotide and amino acid variability in the barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I (cox1) in fishes
AN  - 19793039; 7998394
AB  - The 655 bp cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode region of single specimens of 388 species of fishes (four Holocephali, 61 Elasmobranchii and 323 Actinopterygii) was examined. All but two (Urolophus cruciatus and Urolophus sufflavus) showed different cox1 nucleotide sequences (99.5% species discrimination); the two that could not be resolved are suspected to hybridize. Most of the power of cox1 nucleotide sequence analysis for species identification comes from the degenerate nature of the genetic code and the highly variable nature of the third codon position of amino acids. Variation at the third codon position is bimodally distributed, and the more variable mode is dominated by amino acids with four or six codons, while the less variable mode is dominated by amino acids with two codons. The ratio of nonsynonymous to synomymous changes is much less than one, indicating that this gene is subject to strong purifying selection. Consequently, cox1 amino acid sequence diversity is much less than nucleotide sequence diversity and has very poor species resolution power. Fourteen of the 16 amino acid residues recognized as having important functions in the region of cox1 sequenced were completely conserved over all 388 species (and the bovine cox1 sequence), with one fish species varying at one of these sites, and three fish at another site. No significant differences in amino acid conservation were observed between residues in helices, strands and turns. Patterns of nucleotide and amino acid variability were very similar between elasmobranchs and actinopterygians.

T1  - An overview of historical changes in the fishing gear and practices of pelagic longliners, with particular reference to Japan's Pacific fleet
AN  - 19475136; 8142414
AB  - We identify changes in pelagic longline fishing gear and practices that need to be accounted for in stock assessments. Pelagic longline fishers have continuously modified their fishing gear and practices to improve fishing power and catchability, which has altered the relationship between catch rates and abundance. Advances in technology resulted in the introduction of many electronic devices to assist in navigation, communication and finding target species. The development of synthetic materials allowed improvements to lines and hooks that increased the probability of hooking target species and landing them. Other changes increased fishing power by improving searching efficiency (e.g., satellite imagery) or the time spent on fishing grounds (e.g., freezers). The number of hooks deployed in daily longlining operations has steadily increased since 1950. However, mean soak time did not change significantly because faster longline retrieval and deployment speeds balanced the increased hook numbers. There has been a shift from having all baits available at dawn, to having more available at dusk and at night. In the 1970s, several longline fleets began to exploit a much greater depth range, resulting in increased catchability for deep-dwelling species (e.g., bigeye tuna, Thunnus obesus) and reduced catchability for epipelagic species like blue marlin (Makaira nigricans). Research has been mostly limited to the effects of longline depth on the catchability of target species. Recent experiments have quantified the effects of bycatch mitigation measures on fishing power and catchability. Progressive improvements in expertise and technological improvements in the gear will also affect fishing power, but are particularly difficult to quantify.

T1  - Modelling adaptive management strategies for coping with the impacts of climate variability and change on riverine algal blooms
AN  - 19385561; 7982602
AB  - The impact of climate change on hydrology and water resources is one of the most critical issues facing the world in the next few decades. In particular, there is a need to quantify the risks associated with maintaining the security of resource quantity and quality, and to assess the effectiveness of potential management strategies. In this paper, we assess the impacts of climate variability and change on one aspect of river health. A simple model of Anabaena algal bloom occurrence at a weir pool in the lower Murrumbidgee River, Australia, has been coupled to a catchment model that is used to simulate streamflow, irrigation demand and diversions, dam water storage and releases, and decision-making by both irrigators and managers. Long-term climate data are obtained from a statistical downscaling algorithm, which, when applied to global climate model predictions can provide climate data suitable for driving the coupled model under a variety of climatic scenarios. The coupled model is then used to assess the impact of climate variability and projected climate change on the frequency, duration and magnitude of Anabaena blooms. The impact of two management strategies for bloom control are also assessed and it is shown that even a single, quite simple, resource-neutral, adaptive management strategy has the potential to substantially reduce the occurrence and impact of algal blooms and to more than compensate for the deleterious impacts of climate change. This result supports the notion that planning for the future can lead to positive outcomes in the present.

T1  - Elevated Blood Lead Concentrations in Essential Tremor: A Case-Control Study in Mersin, Turkey
AN  - 14829057; 10726275
AB  - Elevation in the level of blood lead concentrations in essential tremor (ET) in Mersin, Turkey, is examined. Blood lead concentration is not significantly associated with age, sex and cigarette smoking. It is found that blood lead concentrations are approximately doubled in ET cases compared with their counterparts without ET. The association between higher blood lead concentration and the diagnosed ET persists after adjusting for confounding variables. Blood lead concentrations in ET cases are higher than those observed in both types of controls. The data suggest that the increased blood lead concentration in the ET cases is robust. It is not clear whether the difference between cases and controls is due to increased environmental exposure or genetic differences in lead metabolism.

T1  - Nanosize Titanium Dioxide Stimulates Reactive Oxygen Species in Brain Microglia and Damages Neurons in Vitro
AN  - 14828163; 10726286
AB  - The effect of nanosize titanium dioxide on reactive oxygen species in brain microglia was investigated. Data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnett's test to determine significance relative to its unexposed control. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examination of the mouse microglia (BV2) microglia indicated phagocytic internalization of the P25 and swollen, disrupted microglia in the vicinity of the aggregates. Core canonical analysis indicated that P25 up-regulated genes were clustered around signaling pathways involved with B-cell receptor, the death receptor, apoptosis, calcium, and inflammation. Toxicity analysis indicated a strong pathway associated with inflammation, cell cycling, oxidative stress and pro-apoptotic activities. Canonical analysis of the P25 affected genes associated with oxidative stress (OS) indicated that the majority clustered around key energy pathways involving oxidative phosphorylation, biosynthesis of ubiquinone and the citric acid cycle.

T1  - Embryonic Exposure to Domoic Acid Increases the Susceptibility of Zebrafish Larvae to the Chemical Convulsant Pentylenetetrazole
AN  - 14828107; 10726273
AB  - Effects of embryonic exposure to domoic acid (DA) on the susceptibility of zebrafish larvae to the chemical convulsant pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) are investigated. PTZ is very well characterized as a convulsant and is a well-established acute seizure model in rats and mice to investigate pharmaceuticals that may control seizure susceptibility. It is shown that zebrafish demonstrate similar persistent susceptibility to excitotoxins, as is determined in rodents. Larval fish exposed to DA as embryos also show a significantly greater seizure response to symptomatic doses of PTZ. It is demonstrated that zebrafish can replicate a fetal exposure manifesting into adult disease. It is concluded that in ovo exposure to DA increases the susceptibility of larval zebrafish to the seizure-inducing agent PTZ.

T1  - Carbon Capture & Storage Blue-Sky Technology or Just Blowing Smoke?
AN  - 14828020; 10726269
AB  - Various aspects related to carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) are discussed. A CCS infrastructure will have to capture and store many billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) throughout the world for hundreds of years. A mature CCS will capture, transport, and inject those emissions underground to depths of at least 1 km, where porous rock formations in geologically favorable locations absorb CO sub(2) like a sponge. In the United States, coal plants produce more than 1.5 billion tons of CO sub(2) every year. Sequestering the amount of gas will require not only a vast new infrastructure of pipelines and storage sites but also that the country's coal plants adopt costly technologies for carbon capture.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently lowered the guideline value for manganese in drinking water from 500 to 400 mu g/L. The guideline value is calculated for adults older than 19 years, presumably weighing 70-kg and drinking 2 L water per day. The average daily manganese intake is similar regardless of nationality, and although a vegetarian diet may result in higher daily intakes, the intake rarely exceeds 5 mg/day. The importance of good drinking-water quality for the well-being of children and infants is pointed out in the rolling revision of the WHO drinking-water guideline value. The maximum value for manganese in infant formula is exceeded when mixing common powdered formulas with water containing manganese equivalent to the WHO guideline.

T1  - Particulate Air Pollution, Oxidative Stress Genes, and Heart Rate Variability in an Elderly Cohort
AN  - 14826787; 10726284
AB  - Particulate air pollution, oxidative stress genes, and heart rate variability in an elderly cohort were investigated. Particulate air pollution (PM) was associated with increased risk of hospitalization and death from cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms underlying such effects were not fully understood. Reductions in heart rate variability (HRV), a noninvasive measure that independently predicted cardiovascular mortality, was related to PM exposure. While animal models could identify potential mechanisms of particle effects, the relative importance of these pathways in humans at lower doses was not clear and might be determined by examining subjects with genetically determined differences in oxidative-stress defenses.

T1  - HLA-B*1301 as a Biomarker for Genetic Susceptibility to Hypersensitivity Dermatitis Induced by Trichloroethylene Among Workers in China
AN  - 14826725; 10726274
AB  - Genetic susceptible biomarkers associated with the trichloroethylene (TCE)-induced hypersensitivity dermatitis in genes located in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region are identified. HLA-B*13 is one of a common allelic group found in the Chinese population, and the distribution of HLA-B alleles in the controls is similar to that of the general population in southern China. The frequencies of HLA-B*1301 and HLA-B*1302 are variably distributed in different regions of China. The frequency of HLA-B*1301 in southern Chinese is higher than that in northern Chinese. Although HLA-B*44 is present in 6.2% of cases, but is not observed in any of the 142 TCE-tolerant workers. It is concluded that HLA-B*1301 and HLA-B*44 may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of TCE-induced hypersensitivity dermatitis.

AN  - 14825772; 10726281
AB  - The level of polyfluoroalkyl chemicals in the U.S. population was assessed. Weighted Pearson correlation coefficients and related p-values were calculated in SAS. Analysis of covariance was used to examine the influence of demographic and socioeconomic variables on the log-transformed serum concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA). PFOS least square geometric means (LSGM) concentrations were significantly higher in males than in females. LSGM concentrations of PFHxS were significantly lower for Mexican Americans than for non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites. LSGM concentrations did not differ significantly between non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic blacks. The differences between Mexican-American males and non-Hispanic black males and between non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic black males were not statistically significant.

T1  - Total Fluid and Water Consumption and the Joint Effect of Exposure to Disinfection By-Products on Risk of Bladder Cancer
AN  - 14825711; 10726276
AB  - Interaction between water intake volume and trihalomethane (THM) levels by creating cross-product terms of continuous variables and including them in the logistic regression models is examined. An inverse association is observed for total fluid intake that is mostly driven by water intake. A 53% lower risk of bladder cancer is observed in individuals who consume greater than or equal to 1,400 mL of water per day compared with those who consume less than or equal to 400 mL/day after adjusting for known and potential confounders. The results suggest that water intake is inversely associated with the risk of bladder cancer. The decrease in bladder cancer risk observed with higher water intake is perceivable among current, past, and never smokers and for low and high THM exposure alike.

T1  - Home Indoor Pollutant Exposures Among Inner-City Children with and Without Asthma
AN  - 14823834; 10726290
AB  - Home indoor pollutant exposures among inner-city children with and without asthma were estimated. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to assess household demographics, housing characteristics, potential sources of indoor pollutants, indoor environmental exposures, child's respiratory symptoms, and medication use. Children with and without asthma were quite similar by sociodemographic factors, including a mean age of 4.4 years in each group. Only sex was significantly different, with more boys in the asthma group, as expected based on the greater prevalence of asthma among males in childhood. Of control children, only 1% had wheeze when they did not have a cold or the flu, suggesting an extremely low rate of potential misclassification by disease status.

T1  - Occurrence and Potential Human-Health Relevance of Volatile Organic Compounds in Drinking Water from Domestic Wells in the United States
AN  - 14823803; 10726272
AB  - Occurrence and potential human-health relevance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water from domestic wells in the United States are examined. It is found that VOC concentration is generally lower than human-health benchmarks. Concentrations of six VOCs in 1.2% of the samples are of potential human-health concern because their concentrations are greater than maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Ingestion of water containing VOC concentrations greater than MCLs or health-based screening levels (HBSLs) does not necessarily indicate that adverse human-health effects will occur. Nine additional VOCs have concentrations less than but within one order of magnitude of MCLs. The findings indicate that 15 VOCs may warrant inclusion in regional and national low-concentration, trends-monitoring programs.

T1  - Perfluorinated Chemicals and Fetal Growth: A Study Within the Danish National Birth Cohort
AN  - 14821224; 10726292
AB  - The relation between maternal plasma perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) levels during pregnancy and birth weight as well as length of gestation were examined. Plasma concentrations of PFOS and PFOA were measured using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. All the first maternal blood samples had PFOS levels above the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), and only one had a PFOA level below the LLOQ. Analysis stratified by term of birth revealed that the effects of PFOA on birth weight were more pronounced in preterm and post-term babies, but did not differ markedly by sex or parity. There was a high degree of correlation for PFOS and PFOA levels between the first and second maternal blood samples, but the average concentrations were lower in the second blood samples.

AB  - Cord serum concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in relation to weight and size at birth were examined. Spearman rank correlation was used to estimate the correlation between cord serum concentrations of the two compounds. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to examine associations between PFOS or PFOA and gestational age, birth weight, head circumference, length, and ponderal index. PFOA was detected in 100% of cord blood serum samples, and PFOS was detected in > 99% of samples. Concentrations of PFOS and PFOA in cord serum were highly correlated. Statistically significant differences in median PFOS concentrations were observed by race, smoking status, and hypertension.

T1  - Of Two Minds Groups Square Off on Carbon Mitigation
AN  - 14821116; 10726270
AB  - Various aspects related to carbon mitigation are discussed. Mitigation of global warming is a top priority for many policy analysts and technology experts who see carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a viable means of helping achieve that goal. There are major international commercial CCS projects that are operating for years and are showing that no carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) is escaping and that there are no detrimental effects to human health or environment. The California State Legislature passes AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act. The act requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by adopting the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions in such emissions. CCS is merely industry manipulation to try to circumvent growing public interest and knowledge and awareness of renewable energy portfolios.

T1  - Using Lymphocyte and Plasma Hsp70 as Biomarkers for Assessing Coke Oven Exposure Among Steel Workers
AN  - 14819954; 10726277
AB  - Coke oven exposure among steel workers using lymphocyte and plasma heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) as biomarkers is assessed. Significant negative correlations are found between levels of lymphocyte Hsp70 and the levels of various cell damage in the intermediate or high exposure subgroup. The results suggest that cellular Hsp70 may play a protective role because further induction can protect cells from genotoxic and oxidative stress damage in the complex coke oven emission stress. Different expression patterns of lymphocyte and plasma Hsp70 induced by different levels of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among coke oven workers are found. Results suggest that measurement of lymphocyte Hsp70 may help evaluate individual stress responses either in terms of protection or dangerous biomarkers among coke oven workers exposed to carcinogenic PAH.

T1  - Effects of Occupational Noise Exposure on 24-Hour Ambulatory Vascular Properties in Male Workers
AN  - 14819466; 10726289
AB  - Effects of occupational noise exposure on 24-hour ambulatory vascular properties in male workers were examined. Univariate comparisons were performed between the two exposure groups using t-tests for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test for dichotomous variables. The prevalence rates of subjects having regular exercise, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and a family history of hypertension were 25, 65, 30, and 58%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the average of brachial artery resistance (BAR) in high- and low- noise-exposed workers after adjusting for potential confounders over 24 hr, work periods, off-duty periods, and sleep periods. It was found that the high-noise-exposed workers had decrement of BAR and systematic vascular resistance (SVC) during work and off-duty periods compared with those during sleep time.

T1  - Asthma Diagnosed After 11 September 2001 Among Rescue and Recovery Workers: Findings from the World Trade Center Health Registry
AN  - 14819438; 10726279
AB  - Risk of self-reported asthma diagnosed by a health care provider after 9/11, using data from World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR), is assessed. It is found that risk of newly diagnosed asthma is 12-fold higher than the expected background 3-year risk in the general population. There are significant increases in risk for earlier arrival, total duration of work, exposure to the dust cloud, and working on the pile at the World Trade Center (WTC) site. Results suggest that the onset of asthma is not only associated with acute exposure to high levels of respiratory hazards but also with chronic exposure to presumably lower levels of airborne contaminants. It is reasonable to conclude that the early initiation and consistent use of appropriate respiratory protection may further prevent additional cases of new-onset asthma.

T1  - Meeting Report: Hazard Assessment for Nanoparticles-Report from an Interdisciplinary Workshop
AN  - 14819021; 10726288
AB  - Hazards from nanoparticles were discussed. Using increasingly sophisticated levels of control over the assembly of atoms and molecules to form substances and devices, nanotech companies exploited the size-dependent properties of nanostructured materials for applications ranging from cosmetics to fuel cells. Participants agreed on the need to determine the likelihood that nanoparticles would not be detected by macrophages in the lungs and consequently translocated through alveolar cell membranes into the general circulation. Because many of the toxicologic tests needed for hazard identification were not well developed for nanoparticles or required validation, priority should be given to research into tier 1 tests that were not easily translated to nanoparticles. To ensure the most effective use of limited research funds, all stakeholders should participate in designing a strong research strategy based on sound science and the consensus of experts worldwide.

T1  - Evaluation and Application of the RD sub(50) for Determining Acceptable Exposure Levels of Airborne Sensory Irritants for the General Public
AN  - 14818990; 10726283
AB  - Application of the concentration inducing a 50% decrease in respiratory frequency (RD sub(50)) for determining acceptable exposure levels of airborne sensory irritants for the general public was evaluated. Exposure guidelines to protect workers and the public focused on mild irritating signs or symptoms. The availability of RD sub(50)s in male mice for 89 chemicals, and their correlation with occupational exposure levels (OELs) suggested potential applicability to air exposure guidelines for the public. A strong correlation was found between RD sub(50)s and lowest observed adverse effect levels (LOAELs), threshold limit values (TLVs), and California reference exposure levels (RELs). The correlation remained close to 0.8 after conducting various subanalyses, indicating that the strains of mice or the RD sub(50) exposure time did not substantially affect the correlation.

T1  - Potential Confounding of Particulate Matter on the Short-Term Association Between Ozone and Mortality in Multisite Time-Series Studies
AN  - 14818695; 10726280
AB  - Robustness of the association between short-term exposure to ozone and risk of mortality to adjustment for particulate matter < 10 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM sub(10)) and particulate matter < 25 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM sub(2.5)) using several methods, is examined. It is found that particulate matter (PM) is unlikely to confound the ozone and mortality relationship. The results show that the national effect estimate and community-specific relative rates of the short-term effects of ozone on mortality are robust to adjustments for PM sub(2.5), based on the 62 U.S. communities with PM sub(2.5) data available. It is found that effect estimates for ozone and mortality are slightly higher in communities with higher annual or summer correlations between PM sub(2.5) and ozone levels. It is concluded that PM does not confound the observed ozone and mortality associations.

T1  - Characterization of Source-Specific Air Pollution Exposure for a Large Population-Based Swiss Cohort (SAPALDIA)
AN  - 14818687; 10726287
AB  - Characterization of source-specific air pollution exposure for a large population-based Swiss cohort was presented. Long-term exposure to air pollution was linked to reduced lung capacity, elevated mortality, lung cancer and cardiopulmonary mortality. Because of the significant correlation among sources, principal component analysis was used to identify principal components that explained most of the variability in the predicted outdoor particulate matter < 10 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM sub(10)). For PM sub(10), the dispersion model was suitable for estimating and comparing individual exposures between and within cities. As better emission and high-resolution geographic information system (GIS) data become available, the dispersion modeling approach employing both physical and stochastic process should provide a great tool for individual source-specific exposure estimates in air pollution health assessment observations.

T1  - Short-Term Effects of Carbon Monoxide on Mortality: An Analysis Within the APHEA Project
AN  - 14816512; 10726278
AB  - Short-term effects of carbon monoxide (CO) on mortality in 19 European cities participating in the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach (APHEA) project are investigated. Significant associations of CO with total and cardiovascular mortality are found. The effect of CO on total mortality is higher because traffic is a predominant source of particles in European cities with high PM concentrations. Adverse effects of CO on mortality from all causes and cardiovascular causes using the most extensive European database are found. Although there is indication of confounding by other vehicles derived pollutants, the unexplained short-term effect of CO on mortality remains at least marginally statistically significant. The heterogeneity found in the effect estimates among cities may be explained partly by factors characterizing the air pollution mix and the health of the population.
