T1  - Sensitivity of juvenile freshwater crayfish Cherax destructor (Decapoda: Parastacidae) to trace metals.
AN  - 68416825; 17011034
AB  - Juvenile Cherax destructor was investigated as a potential test species for toxicity testing of trace metals in Australian freshwater systems. Adult male and female C. destructor were bred in the laboratory to obtain 4-week old juveniles, which were used in the toxicity tests. Animals were exposed to a range of concentrations of the trace metals ions copper (377-1275 microg/L), cadmium (377-1275 microg/L), nickel (300-1013 mg/L) and iron (36-168 mg/L) in static-renewal 96-h bioassays. The 96-h LC50 value for cadmium was 379, 494 microg/L for copper, 50 mg/L for iron and 327 mg/L for nickel demonstrating a decreasing toxicity of these metals to C. destructor. Comparison of LC50 values for metals for this species with those for other aquatic organisms reveals that C. destructor is less sensitive to trace metals than most other tested species.

T1  - Public policy and biofuels: The way forward?
AN  - 58772851; 2008-104459
AB  - The use of biofuels has been given much attention by governments around the world, especially in increasingly energy-hungry OECD nations. Proponents have argued that they offer various advantages over hydrocarbon-based fuels, especially with respect to reducing dependence on OPEC-controlled oil, minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ensuring financial and lifestyle continuity to farmers and agriculturally dependent communities. This paper adds to the continuing technical debate by addressing the issue from a holistic public policy perspective. In particular, it looks at the proposed benefits of biofuels, yet also addresses the implications of increased demand on the global and regional environment, in addition to the economic welfare of developing nations. Furthermore, it posits that short-term reliance on biofuels vis-a-vis other alternative energy sources may potentially inhibit the development and maturation of longer-term technologies that have greater potential to correct the harmful effects of fossil-fuel dependence. In light of this, the manifold policy instruments currently employed or proposed by governments in developed nations to promote biofuels emerge as questionable. [Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - The effect of cognitive load and hyperarousal on negative intrusive memories
AN  - 57245332; 200812346
AB  - Clinical theories of post-traumatic stress suggest that encoding processes at the time of a trauma are critical in determining whether intrusive memories will develop. Potential mechanisms that might influence the development of intrusive memories were studied, as was objective memory performance. In an analogue design, 65 participants were randomised to three conditions (cognitive load, hyperventilation, and control), and then watched a film of traumatic content. Intrusive memories were recorded during the experimental phase and at 1-week follow-up. Support was found for the prediction that verbal cognitive load and hyperventilation would facilitate intrusion development immediately following exposure to the trauma film; however, this was not maintained at follow-up. Consistent with cognitive models of post-traumatic stress, thought suppression and the distress associated with intrusive experiences mediated the relationship between distress caused by the film and intrusions at 1-week follow-up. Objective memory testing indicated that the three experimental groups showed similar recall and recognition performance for the content of the film; however, relative to the control group, individuals in the cognitive load condition were significantly less able to place film scenes in the correct order.

T1  - Differences in context and function of two distinct waving displays in the fiddler crab, Uca perplexa (Decapoda: Ocypodidae)
AN  - 20887624; 8137600
AB  - To respond appropriately to communication signals, animals must have the ability to decipher signal meaning. At a basic level, interpreting the difference between territorial and courtship signals can be vital for the survival and reproduction of social animals. Male and female fiddler crabs communicate with claw-waving displays, but the function of these waves remains uncertain. Species differ in the context in which they wave: Some wave during courtship, some during territorial defence and some during both. In this paper, we provide evidence that males of an Australian species of fiddler crab, Uca perplexa, use two different types of claw waving display, lateral and vertical. Lateral waves are employed solely in a courtship context, whilst vertical waves are employed during courtship as well as territorial interactions. Using video recordings, we show that lateral waves were produced spontaneously (broadcast), and their frequency increased only in the presence of female wanderers. Vertical waves were not broadcast but were elicited by male wanderers during agonistic interactions and female wanderers during close range courtship. Male resident U. perplexa were able to discriminate the sex of wandering crabs on the mudflat at distances of 32 cm. During all resident-wanderer interactions, residents attempted to maintain a position directly between the wanderer and the home burrow and orient themselves to face females and to present the major claw towards males. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the multiple use of waving displays in a fiddler crab species.

T1  - Predicting the impact of plantation forestry on water users at local and regional scales
AN  - 20383658; 7749805
AB  - To assess the potential impacts of land use change on river water users at both the local and regional scale requires models used in unregulated areas to be linked to river planning models for regulated river systems. This paper illustrates how a land use change model can be linked to the Integrated Quantity and Quality Model (IQQM) for the Murrumbidgee River system in southeastern Australia. Linking the two models allows the impact of potential plantation expansion to be assessed at various points throughout the river system and allows changes in streamflow in upland areas to be converted into impacts on allocations and diversion for downstream water users. To derive an envelope of responses, two plausible plantation expansion scenarios are considered. These are the planting of 30,000ha in areas that will have the largest reduction in mean annual water yield, and the planting of 30,000ha in areas that will have the smallest reduction in mean annual water yield. This paper shows that, at the regional scale, the impacts of these plantation scenarios are small on a mean annual basis, with reductions on allocations, diversions and end-of-system flows being 0.7%, 0.4% and 2.6%, respectively for the maximum impact scenario. However, when there is a large increase in the area of plantations in one sub-catchment, the local scale mean annual streamflow reductions can be significantly higher (up to 23% reduction for the modelled scenario), with larger percentage reductions seen in low flows than in the higher flows. Analysis of the annual impacts in the regulated system highlights the importance of looking at sequences of years and impacts in critical years with maximum annual reductions in allocations, diversions and end-of-system flows of 3.5%, 10% and 18% respectively for the maximum-impact water yield scenario. Linking the two models gives an insight into how management rules that control the regulated system can be triggered. This triggering of rules can result in small changes in upland area having large impacts downstream if key threshold values are affected. These impacts have the potential to be felt not only in the Murrumbidgee River system, but also outside in the Murray River system.

T1  - Planted forests and water in perspective
AN  - 20382345; 7749795
AB  - Afforestation is increasingly considered as a land use activity that threatens water resources security. At the same time, it is advocated for a wide range of other water-related benefits. We review the contributions to this special issue and the wider literature, intended as a contribution towards a framework for predicting the impact on water resources and other water-related issues of afforestation in agricultural landscapes. Current evidence suggests that afforestation will typically reduce local average water yield as well as low flows. Downstream effects on water resources security and river ecosystem health are generally likely to be small unless the area afforested is large. In some cases, afforestation may increase groundwater recharge and low flows due to improved infiltration. Depending on the level of degradation of agricultural land, well designed, located and managed forestry can reduce the volume of sediment, nutrients and salt volumes transported into river systems, although not necessarily their concentrations. Afforestation is not likely to reduce major large-scale flooding or deep-seated land slides, but may reduce shallow land slides and local 'flash' floods. The influence of afforestation on global precipitation patterns is complex and land use change would need to occur on a large scale to have a discernible influence. Afforestation may influence precipitation patterns at local to regional scales by changing surface-atmosphere transfers of heat and moisture. Factors determining afforestation impacts on water resources security include: (i) plantation characteristics that affect forest hydrology (differences in tree physiology, plantation design and management, forestry operations), (ii) the benchmark (current agricultural use or historic native vegetation) against which changes are assessed and (iii) the water system configuration (scale of afforestation, timing of impacts, location in the system and internal system losses). Similar factors confound the impact of afforestation on other water-related issues.

T1  - Developing a decision support tool for China's re-vegetation program: Simulating regional impacts of afforestation on average annual streamflow in the Loess Plateau
AN  - 19464592; 7749803
AB  - China is facing increased environmental pressures as its economy rapidly develops, with shortages of water potentially limiting development-especially in its dryer north and west. The highly erodible Loess Plateau in the Yellow River Basin is the main source of high sediment loads resulting in poor water quality. Engineering and re-vegetation measures have been (and are being) widely implemented to reduce these environmental problems, but it has since been found that re-vegetation activities result in a decrease of streamflow. Given that water resources are currently over allocated in the Yellow River Basin (as seen by the river increasingly not reaching the sea), the external hydrological impacts from current and planned re-vegetation activities need to be taken into account by a wide range of natural resources managers and policy makers. To increase the awareness of the hydrology-landuse change implications in the region, a decision support tool called Re-Vegetation Impacts on Hydrology (ReVegIH) has been developed. To maximize use of the tool, the design of ReVegIH has been participatory with the final design of the functionality actively taking account of user requirements and needs. ReVegIH provides a means for users to: (1) determine where priority (and target) re-vegetation activities should be undertaken; (2) ascertain what species are suitable for a specific location; (3) simulate the related hydrological impact on an average annual basis. The spatial resolution of the first two functions is provided at 100m, while the third is at the catchment (or county) level for the 113,000km super(2) study site, called the Coarse Sandy Hilly Catchment, which drains the main south flowing branch of the Yellow River. ReVegIH assesses afforestation impacts on average annual streamflow via application of an aerial-weighted evapotranspiration model operating at steady-state forced by long-term (21-year) annual average meteorological data and landuse scenarios. ReVegIH does not consider the changes in annual streamflow following observed 21-year trends of annual precipitation and pan evaporation data, nor as a function of time since afforestation, and the ability to simulate the hydrological impact due to establishing plantations in different areas in the landscape through time is not included.

T1  - Effects of neem leaf dust and a commercial formulation of a neem compound on the longevity, fecundity and ovarian development of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) and the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae).
AN  - 70147202; 19093477
AB  - Neem leaf dust and a commercial formulation of neem were tested on adult Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to determine their effects on the longevity, fecundity and ovarian development. Different combinations of neem leaf dust and a commercial formulation of a neem compound incorporated with sugar solution and adult rearing diets were tested. The Laboratory tests showed that ingestion of neem can significantly reduced the longevity and fertility of both the fly species. Significantly fewer pupae were collected from adults fed on laboratory rearing diet and nimbicidine as water source. Effect of neem treatment on the pupation and subsequent adult emergence of late-instar larvae was negligible. Microscopic observation indicated that the decreased fecundity was due to the block of ovarian development. Experimental results confirmed that neem can be effectively used as a safe alternative insecticide for the control of Bactrocera species.

T1  - Vitamin E metabolism.
AN  - 68448869; 17306359
AB  - The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of vitamin E metabolism. The topics covered include: major classes of vitamin E metabolites; their production pathways and route of excretion; possible biological activities of vitamin E metabolites; and use of vitamin E metabolites as markers of oxidant generation. Recent investigations into vitamin E metabolism have also highlighted important new areas of research, such as the potential for high dose vitamin E supplementation to interfere with drug metabolism, as well as alternative methods to alter vitamin E bioavailability in vivo. These issues will also be discussed in the review.

T1  - Efficacy and safety of multiple intravitreal triamcinolone injections for refractory diabetic macular oedema.
AN  - 68317826; 17405800
AB  - The efficacy and safety of repeated injections of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) for diabetic macular oedema is unclear, with results of previous reports conflicting.
          This is a prospective, observational case series of 27 eyes receiving IVTA for diabetic macular oedema. LogMAR visual acuity (VA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured at baseline and in 3 to 6 monthly intervals for up to 24 months, then correlated with the number of IVTA injections given. One IVTA injection was required in 6 (18%) eyes, 2 in 8 (24%) eyes, 3 in 13 (39%) eyes and 4-5 in 6 (18%) eyes. VA improved in all patients, but neither the final improvement in VA nor the absolute improvement in CMT from baseline to 24 months correlated with the number of injections received (p = 0.44 and 0.84, respectively). Cataract surgery was more frequent in eyes receiving more injections (p = 0.01).
          This study suggests that repeated injections of IVTA continue to be as effective as the first over a 2-year period. The probability of cataract surgery increases with an increasing number of injections.

This entails examining encounters between police and gay men who pursue desire in 'beat' (or 'cottage' to the use the UK term) spaces. Exploring why these outlaw gay male subjects are so abject and troubling to the law, the discussion documents how law's desire to regulate gay men plays out in the masquerade of 'plain-clothes' agent provocateur operations where police entrap gay men by mimicking gay bodily appearances, gestures and mannerisms. This article also examines how police regulation of gay desire functions as a form of violence that delimits expressions of same sex desire in public spaces. A key theme that underpins the analyses in this paper is that the policing of desire in 'beat'spaces helps produce qualities of illicitness and dangerousness and that this, in turn, fuels the circuit of desire at play between gay men and agents of the law.

T1  - Loss aversion, price and quality
AN  - 61664878; 200800486
AB  - The Spence model [Spence, A.M., 1975. Monopoly, quality and regulation. Bell Journal of Economics 417-429] is extended so that customers' utility depends on their disposition toward the firm in addition to quantity and quality of the good consumed. Disposition is determined by customers' 'reference-dependent' perception of firm's pricing and quality decisions. The profit maximising and efficient price and quality combinations are derived under the assumption that customers exhibit loss aversion with respect to the reference price and quality level. It is shown that adjustment to a change in economic conditions may call for price rigidity, quality rigidity or both depending on the level of the reference price and quality.

T1  - Racism Remains a Problem: Why Are People of Colour Having Trouble Getting Good Jobs?
AN  - 58771674; 2008-144419
AB  - Racial discrimination, both overt and covert, is clearly a large contributing factor to the poor labor market outcomes of workers of color. Lower incomes, higher unemployment, and precarious work are prevalent for workers of color as a whole, and the fact that Canadian-born racialized workers are doing slightly worse than racialized immigrants underlines the force of the racism operating with impunity in the labor market.

AB  - Discusses the benefits of making an online catalog portable and personal for each user. This kind of catalog has the potential to improve access to information by recording and using more information about who goes where, and enable patrons to use library systems and have the systems clearly indicate when something they have seen before comes back as a hit in a search result. A portable catalog has to be able to move with the user, either literally in a laptop as that user roams about from bookstore to coffee shop to library or figuratively through the Web by auto-configuring itself via Web and network protocol standards.

T1  - Recruitment and follow-up of injecting drug users in the setting of early hepatitis C treatment: Insights from the ATAHC study
AN  - 57215828; 200804798
AB  - Despite current injecting drug users (IDUs) being the major risk group for new hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in most countries, they constitute a small minority of study populations in almost all studies of acute HCV infection treatment. The Australian Trial in Acute Hepatitis C (ATAHC) is examining natural history and treatment efficacy among predominantly IDU-acquired acute HCV. Recruitment is through an Australian network of primary and tertiary care sites. Eligible participants are offered treatment with pegylated-interferon ^D*a-2a (PEG-IFN) for 24 weeks, with both treated and untreated participants followed for up to three years. Quantitative and qualitative data on injecting behaviour is collected on study participants. Participants are regularly reviewed by a multidisciplinary team that includes the treating clinician, HCV clinic nurse, outreach worker and when necessary are referred to a drug and alcohol worker, social worker, psychiatrist or other appropriate services. A contact log records all interactions between participants and the study team. In September 2006, 121 subjects had been screened, 107 were enrolled and 75 had chosen to commence a 24-week course of PEG-IFN (HIV/HCV coinfected participants are treated with PEG-IFN/ribavirin combination therapy). Eighty per cent of ATAHC participants reported IDU within the previous six months. Recruitment is planned to continue through mid-2007. Through a series of case reports, this paper describes factors that are potential barriers to recruitment, follow-up, and treatment of IDUs in the context of acute HCV infection. PEG-IFN adherence and toxicity, current substance use or mental health issues are not presenting as the only barriers to HCV treatment. Financial and transport difficulties, isolation and social support, and legal issues have been prominent and had the potential to impact on clinic attendance and treatment success. Our work suggests that by using a multidisciplinary approach, potential barriers to recruitment and follow-up of current IDUs to HCV treatment can be effectively addressed, and this highly marginalised population can be successfully engaged and treated.

T1  - The MESH approach: Strengthening public health systems for the MDGs
AN  - 57127518; 200803272
AB  - This article addresses some of the complexities in the interactions both within the public health system and between that and civil society. It examines what needs to be done to improve the capacity of health systems, primarily through building relevant infrastructure (what is called MESH - management, economic, social and human - infrastructure) where this is lacking. This lack is most likely to occur in poorer communities and health districts. The problem of absorption and appropriate use of funds in disadvantaged areas has been highlighted as a critical bottleneck to the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs). MESH is denned as infrastructure which is built to improve the capacity of communities and other entities to implement health service programs efficiently. We employ this concept to determine how best to invest in health in poor areas so that they can better use any additional resources they receive. The article reviews some initial explorations of the relevance of MESH building strategies in South Africa. The research shows the usefulness of the MESH approach which requires inter alia a more developmental approach that goes beyond the vertical silos of much influential prioritization literature over the last two decades. In practice it is clear that MESH will vary from location to location which reflects the fact that investing in successful health strategies must take into account the voices of the local people with respect to what they want from their health services.

T1  - Designing chitosan-dextran sulfate nanoparticles using charge ratios
AN  - 21129952; 11176491
AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of charge ratio on the formation and properties of the chitosan (CS)-dextran sulfate (DS) nanoparticles developed for the delivery of water-soluble small and large molecules, including proteins. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were chosen as model molecules. CS-DS nanoparticles were formulated by a complex coacervation process under mild conditions. The influence of formulation and process variables, including the charge ratio of the 2 ionic polymers, on particle size, zeta potential, and nanoparticle entrapment of R6G and BSA was studied. The in vitro release of R6G and BSA was also evaluated, and the integrity of BSA in the release fraction was assessed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Depending on the concentration and charge ratio of DS and CS, nanoparticles with varied size (>=244 nm) and zeta potential (-47.1-60mV) were obtained. High entrapment efficiency (98%) was achieved for both R6G and BSA when the charge ratio of the 2 ionic polymers was greater than 1.12. The release of both R6G and BSA from nanoparticles was based on the ion-exchange mechanism. BSA showed much slower continuous release for up to 7 days while still maintaining its integrity for an extended period. The CS-DS nanoparticles developed based on the modulation of charge ratio show promise as a system for controlled delivery of both small and large molecules, including proteins.

T1  - Maternity Length of Stay Modelling by Gamma Mixture Regression with Random Effects
AN  - 21074631; 11132977
AB  - Maternity length of stay (LOS) is an important measure of hospital activity, but its empirical distribution is often positively skewed. A two-component gamma mixture regression model has been proposed to analyze the heterogeneous maternity LOS. The problem is that observations collected from the same hospital are often correlated, which can lead to spurious associations and misleading inferences. To account for the inherent correlation, random effects are incorporated within the linear predictors of the two-component gamma mixture regression model. An EM algorithm is developed for the residual maximum quasi-likelihood estimation of the regression coefficients and variance component parameters. The approach enables the correct identification and assessment of risk factors affecting the short-stay and long-stay patient subgroups. In addition, the predicted random effects can provide information on the inter-hospital variations after adjustment for patient characteristics and health provision factors. A simulation study shows that the estimators obtained via the EM algorithm perform well in all the settings considered. Application to a set of maternity LOS data for women having obstetrical delivery with multiple complicating diagnoses is illustrated.

T1  - Infection process and the interaction of rice roots with rhizobia
AN  - 20643495; 7743095
AB  - Most rhizobial strains inhibit rice root growth in the presence of calcium or potassium nitrates, but not ammonium nitrate. Certain rhizobial strains, however, such as strain R4, do not inhibit rice growth and can enter rice roots and multiply in the intercellular spaces. By using the green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a visual marker, it was found that Rhizobium became intimately associated with rice seedling roots within 24-48 h. During this initial period it was observed that strain R4 could cause structural changes resembling infection threads within the rice root hairs. Generally, the sites of the emerging lateral roots provide a temporary entry point for rhizobia, either by root hair entry or crack entry. All tested GFP-labelled Rhizobium strains infected the root hairs near the base of growing lateral roots. This study suggests that some strains may have the ability to infect rice root tissues via root hairs located at the emerging lateral roots and to spread extensively throughout the rice root.

T1  - Simulation of Subantarctic Mode and Antarctic Intermediate Waters in Climate Models
AN  - 20586355; 7734601
AB  - The Southern Ocean's Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) are two globally significant upper-ocean water masses that circulate in all Southern Hemisphere subtropical gyres and cross the equator to enter the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. Simulations of SAMW and AAIW for the twentieth century in eight climate models [GFDL-CM2.1, CCSM3, CNRM-CM3, MIROC3.2(medres), MIROC3.2(hires), MRI-CGCM2.3.2, CSIRO-Mk3.0, and UKMO-HadCM3] that provided their output in support of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) have been compared to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Atlas of Regional Seas. The climate models, except for UKMO-HadCM3, CSIRO-Mk3.0, and MRI-CGCM2.3.2, provide a reasonable simulation of SAMW and AAIW isopycnal temperature and salinity in the Southern Ocean. Many models simulate the potential vorticity minimum layer and salinity minimum layer of SAMW and AAIW, respectively. However, the simulated SAMW layer is generally thinner and at lighter densities than observed. All climate models display a limited equatorward extension of SAMW and AAIW north of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Errors in the simulation of SAMW and AAIW property characteristics are likely to be due to a combination of many errors in the climate models, including simulation of wind and buoyancy forcing, inadequate representation of subgrid-scale mixing processes in the Southern Ocean, and midlatitude diapycnal mixing parameterizations.

T1  - Pathways of infection of Brassica napus roots by Leptosphaeria maculans
AN  - 20528167; 8000686
AB  - Infection of Brassica napus cotyledons and leaves by germinating ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans leads to production of leaf lesions followed by stem cankers (blackleg). Leptosphaeria maculans also causes root rot but the pathway of infection has not been described.An L. maculans isolate expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) was applied to the petiole of B. napus plants. Hyphal growth was followed by fluorescence microscopy and by culturing of sections of plant tissue on growth media. Leptosphaeria maculans grew within stem and hypocotyl tissue during the vegetative stages of plant growth, and proliferated into the roots within xylem vessels at the onset of flowering. Hyphae grew in all tissues in the stem and hypocotyl, but were restricted mainly to xylem tissue in the root.Leptosphaeria maculans also infected intact roots when inoculum was applied directly to them and hyphae entered at sites of lateral root emergence. Hyphal entry may occur at other sites but the mechanism is uncertain as penetration structures were not observed.Infection of B. napus roots by L. maculans can occur via above- and below-ground sources of inoculum, but the relative importance of the infection pathways under field conditions is unknown.

T1  - Satellite-based monitoring of tropical seagrass vegetation: current techniques and future developments
AN  - 20496013; 7621418
AB  - Decline of seagrasses has been documented in many parts of the world. Reduction in water clarity, through increased turbidity and increased nutrient concentrations, is considered to be the primary cause of seagrass loss. Recent studies have indicated the need for new methods that will enable early detection of decline in seagrass extent and productivity, over large areas. In this review of current literature on coastal remote sensing, we examine the ability of remote sensing to serve as an information provider for seagrass monitoring. Remote sensing offers the potential to map the extent of seagrass cover and monitor changes in these with high accuracy for shallow waters. The accuracy of mapping seagrasses in deeper waters is unclear. Recent advances in sensor technology and radiometric transfer modelling have resulted in the ability to map suspended sediment, sea surface temperature and below-surface irradiance. It is therefore potentially possible to monitor the factors that cause the decline in seagrass status. When the latest products in remote sensing are linked to seagrass production models, it may serve as an early-warning system for seagrass decline and ultimately allow a better management of these susceptible ecosystems.

T1  - Methods for Detecting Chemical-Chemical Interaction in Toxicology
AN  - 20248904; 8883028
AB  - When two toxicants overtly producing similar effects are given together, the effect of the combination may either be equal to the algebraic sum of their individual effects or may be more than or less than the algebraic sum of their individual effects. Therefore, to ascertain the nature of interaction precisely and accurately, whether it is additive, supra-additive (synergistic), or infra-additive (antagonistic), appropriate experimental designs are required to be followed. Factorial experiments requiring large numbers of animals are not only uneconomical, but also fail to reveal the exact nature of interaction with regard to addition, synergism, or antagonism. Scientists have therefore devised several simple experimental designs that are based on the dose-response curves of individual interacting substances and the dose-response curve of fixed-proportion combinations of these toxic substances. Among the reported experimental designs, the most efficient methods include the isobolographic method and the interaction index method. The present review aims to discuss the principle and methodology behind the experimental designs used to study interaction of binary toxic mixtures, to make it comprehensible for researchers engaged in the field of toxicology. A procedure by which nature of interaction can be ascertained with the help of the interaction index using Student t-test has also been explained. The review has been supported with appropriate illustrations.

T1  - Effect of Legume Root Rot Pathogens and Fungicide Seed Treatment on Nodulation and Biomass Accumulation
AN  - 20244073; 8106018
AB  - Greenhouse experiments were conducted over two cropping cycles to investigate the effect of fungicide seed treatment and fungal root rot pathogens on nodulation and dry matter accumulation of selected food legumes. The legumes were common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. variety GLP 2), green gram (Vigna radiata L. variety M66) and lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) while the pathogens were Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli, Macrophomina phaseolina, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Rhizoctonia solani. Treatments consisted of inoculation of legume seeds with appropriate rhizobia alone, rhizobia together with fungicide, rhizobia together with pathogen and a combination of rhizobia, fungicide and pathogen. Fungicide copper oxychloride was used as a seed dresser. Rhizoctonia solani and S. sclerotiorum were more pathogenic and showed significantly increased seedling mortality and greater reduction in seedling emergence, number of nodules and root dry matter. Fungicide seed dressing significantly increased seedling emergence and reduced seedling mortality. However, fungicide seed dressing alone and in combination with pathogen depressed nodulation in all the legumes. Inoculation with F. oxysporum and M. phaseolina had no significant effect on nodulation in common bean. All the treatments had little or no significant effect on shoot dry matter. The results suggest that fungicide seed treatment in combination with rhizobia inoculation is beneficial in management of root rot and enhancement of nodulation in food legumes.

T1  - The change of soil carbon stocks and fine root dynamics after land use change from a native pasture to a pine plantation
AN  - 20145557; 7972510
AB  - A published meta-analysis of worldwide data showed soil carbon decreasing following land use change from pasture to conifer plantation. A paired site (a native pasture with Themeda triandra dominant, and an adjacent Pinus radiata plantation planted onto the pasture 16 years ago) was set up as a case study to assess the soil carbon reduction and the possible reason for the reduction under pine, including the change in fine root (diameter < 2 mm) dynamics (production and mortality). Soil analysis confirmed that soil carbon and nitrogen stocks to 100 cm under the plantation were significantly less than under the pasture by 20 and 15%, respectively. A 36% greater mass of fine root was found in the soil under the pasture than under the plantation and the length of fine root was about nine times greater in the pasture. Much less fine root length was produced and roots died more slowly under the plantation than under the pasture based on observations of fine root dynamics in minirhizotrons. The annual inputs of fine root litter to the top 100 cm soil, estimated from soil coring and minirhizotron observations, were 6.3 Mg dry matter ha super(-1) year super(-1) (containing 2.7 Mg C and 38.9 kg N) under the plantation, and 9.7 Mg ha super(-1) year super(-1) (containing 3.6 Mg C and 81.4 kg N) under the pasture. The reduced amount of carbon, following afforestation of the pasture, in each depth-layer of the soil profile correlated with the lower length of dead fine roots in the layer under the plantation compared with the pasture. This correlation was consistent with the hypothesis that the soil carbon reduction after land use change from pasture to conifer plantation might be related to change of fine root dynamics, at least in part.

T1  - Genetic diversity of El Tor strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 with hybrid traits isolated from Bangladesh and Mozambique
AN  - 20013783; 8336999
AB  - Vibrio cholerae O1 strains that are hybrids between the classical and El Tor biotypes were isolated during two consecutive years (2004-2005) from diarrheal patients in Mozambique. Similar variants isolated in Bangladesh and recently isolated El Tor strains were analyzed for genetic diversity. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis using the restriction enzyme NotI, resulted in 18-21 bands showed five closely related PFGE patterns that were distributed similarly in both years (2004-2005) among the 80 strains tested in Mozambique. Overall based on the PFGE patterns the hybrids indicated an El Tor lineage. The restriction patterns of whole-chromosomal DNA grouped the hybrid strains from Mozambique into a separate cluster from Bangladeshi clinical and environmental hybrid strains. A high molecular weight band of 398 kb that contain rstR allele of the classical type was detected from all hybrid strains, which was absent in all conventional classical and El Tor strains. This band could be designated as a marker for the hybrid strains. This study suggests that hybrid strains from Mozambique are closely related to each other, different from Bangladeshi hybrid strains that are diverse in nature and all hybrid strains differed markedly from conventional classical and El Tor strains.

AB  - A safety valve has been embraced by many in industry for providing price certainty, but criticized by economists and environmentalists who say it interferes with the power of the market and may also prohibit linkages with other international trading schemes.  Warner, the ranking member of the Senate Subcommittee on Private sector and Consumer Solutions to Global Warming and Wildlife Protection, ensured that the carbon market board provision would be included in at least one bill when he and Subcommittee Chair Joe lieberman (ID-CT) incorporated it into the climate bill they plan to introduce in the fall of 2007.

T1  - Energy bills face veto threat
AN  - 195926277
AB  - After a contentious debate, the House passed two energy bills on August 4, but the bills will now have to be reconciled with a Senate bill that has different provisions and will face a veto from President Bush, who said the bills "are not serious attempts to increase our energy security or address high energy costs."  The legislation ran into staunch opposition from the White House, Republicans, and oil-state Democrats immediately after being introduced, because it reduces tax incentives for the oil and gas industries in order to pay for renewable energy sources.

AB  - The Senate and House are poised to add billions of dollars above the president's budget request to the FY 2008 R&D budget, with much of the proposed new funding targeted for environmental, energy, and biomédical initiatives, according to an August 6 report by the R&D Budget and Policy Program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  Congressional funding proposals also would meet or exceed the president's spending plans for physical sciences research in the president's ACI and for dramatic expansion of spending to develop new craft for human space exploration, said Kei Koizumi, the program's director.

T1  - President Bush signs competitiveness bill
AN  - 195925113
AB  - The legislation, which incorporates many prior bills, authorizes $33.6 billion in new spending ($44.3 billion in total) in fiscal years (FY) 2008, 2009, and 2010 for a host of programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Department of Education.  Noting that the legislation shares many of the goals of his American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI), such as doubling funding for basic research in the physical sciences and increasing the number of teachers and students participating in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes, he said, "ACI is one of my most important domestic priorities because it provides a comprehensive strategy to help keep America the most innovative nation in the world by strengthening our scientific education and research, improving our technological enterprise, and providing 21st-century job training."

T1  - Determinants of Arsenic Metabolism: Blood Arsenic Metabolites, Plasma Folate, Cobalamin, and Homocysteine Concentrations in Maternal-Newborn Pairs
AN  - 14832078; 10725217
AB  - Total blood arsenic (As), urinary As metabolites, folate, B sub(12), and homocysteine in 101 maternal-cord blood pairs derived from births in Matlab Bangladesh, are estimated. Strong relationships are demonstrated between maternal and cord total blood As and blood As metabolite concentrations, which indicate that newborn children in Matlab are exposed to hazardous concentrations of As metabolites during the prenatal period. As metabolism may be impaired and its toxicity is heightened in populations where food are not folic acid enriched and prenatal supplements are not always available. It is concluded that the efforts to reduce As exposure shall be a high priority because the element has adverse effects on early childhood development and has potential synergistic effects with other co-exposures.

T1  - Identification of Gene Markers for Formaldehyde Exposure in Humans
AN  - 14831450; 10725211
AB  - Gene markers for formaldehyde (FA) exposure in humans are identified. FA is genotoxic in vitro, although it is not generally genotoxic in standard in vivo assays. FA does not show any significant difference in the blood concentration of FA or urinary concentration of formic acid compared with controls. DPX is not a specific biomarker for FA and it forms after exposure to many other environmental chemicals or ionizing radiation. Around 54 FA responsive genes are identified in human tracheal fibroblasts. Among them 6 gene are upregulated in the high urinary thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (TZCA) subjects. Blood cells are not representative of all target cells for FA toxicity. Dose-dependent increases in the expression of a subset of 6 genes may provide insight into inflammation and carcinogenesis after FA exposure.

T1  - Prolonged Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics of Paraquat in Mouse Brain
AN  - 14831411; 10725209
AB  - Toxicokinetics (TK) and toxicodynamics (TD) of paraquat (PQ) in mouse brain are measured. It is observed that PQ persists in the ventral midbrain (VM) of mice for a prolonged time, with a half-life of approximately one month. The TK and TD of PQ in brain are due to the interactions of genetic and environmental factors. TK and TD of paraquat are complex. The accumulation and persistence of PQ in brain suggest that the human exposure limits to PQ may need to be reconsidered. Models of Parkinson disease phenotype (PDP) using PQ shall be evaluated in terms of total brain accumulation and duration of exposure rather than number and frequency of doses.

T1  - Associations Between Prenatal Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Neonatal Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Levels in a Mexican-American Population, Salinas Valley, California
AN  - 14830664; 10725215
AB  - Associations between prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and neonatal thyroid-stimulating (TSH) hormone levels in a Mexican-American population in Salinas Valley, California, are examined. Prenatal exposure to PCB congeners that induce CYP2B in animal is positively associated with TSH levels in children shortly after birth. A positive association between neonatal TSH levels and prenatal exposure to PCBS is reported to induce microsomal enzymes and suspected to induce uridinediphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT) in animals but not with the sum of all PCB congeners, or PCBS grouped according to their dioxin like activity or structure. Results suggest that PCBs affect thyroid hormone (TH) homeostasis even at the low background level of exposure found in the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) population. Although TSH remains within the reference range, it is suggested that maternal hypothyroxinemia during early pregnancy adversely affects neurodevelopment.

T1  - Comparative Assessment of Air Pollution-Related Health Risks in Houston
AN  - 14830590; 10725200
AB  - Comparative assessment of air pollution-related health risks in Houston was conducted. Comparative risk assessment was a decision tool for organizing and analyzing information about air pollution in manner that would aid decision makers as they choose among competing priorities. To obtain estimates of ambient concentrations for as many hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) as possible, modeled annual average concentrations for 1999 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National -scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) were used. It was both an analytical process and a set of related techniques that used available data in conjunction with expert judgment to compare and ultimately prioritize a spectrum of environmental health problems. Comparative risk assessment was necessarily an exercise in professional judgment based on uncertain estimates of divergent risks.

T1  - Case Report: Mixed Cholestatic/Hepatocellular Liver Injury Induced by the Herbicide Quizalofop-p-ethyl
AN  - 14828982; 10725213
AB  - The first reported case in humans of a prolonged cholestatic/hepatocellular toxicity induced by occupational exposure to quizalofop-p-ethyl (QpE) is presented. The recent exposure to QpE in the absence of other causes of liver disease increases suspicion of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules play a critical role in the host immune response because they are involved in antigen presentation. It is determined that QpE is a probable inducer of occupational liver injury, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The results indicate that the causality between the compound and liver injury is probable because a rechallenge procedure will be unethical.

T1  - Plasma Concentrations of Selected Organobromine Compounds and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Postmenopausal Women of Quebec, Canada
AN  - 14823527; 10725206
AB  - Plasma concentrations of selected organochlorine compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in postmenopausal women of Quebec, Canada, are estimated. Mean concentrations of PBDE congeners are much lower than those of major PCB congeners. A few women display high polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) concentrations that exceed those of major PCBs by an order of magnitude. Correlation analyses reveal that PBDE-153 is only moderately correlated to PBDE-47. It is suggested that greater the increase in the volume of the adipose tissue compartment, the greater the dilution of PCB residues and lower their plasma concentration. The concentrations of organobromine compounds in plasma samples of Canadian women are slightly lower than those in the United States. It is concluded that there is a need to identify the most important sources of human exposure to PBDEs in the general population.

T1  - Standing on Principle: The Global Push for Environmental Justice
AN  - 14823479; 10725198
AB  - Various aspects related to environmental justice are investigated. The history of international efforts in environmental justice parallels the series of agreements and convections held around the globe to address environmental justice. The issue of globalization is one common concern to the environmental justice movement in many developing countries. It is suggested that environmental justice organizations can share strategies and information quickly and effectively. The flow of information is highly bidirectional in the international environmental justice movement, providing models for both North-to-South as well as South-to-North. With the recent enlargement of the European Union to include countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the need for environmental justice across a more stratified society is increasingly evident.

T1  - Flame Retardants in Placenta and Breast Milk and Cryptorchidism in Newborn Boys
AN  - 14822256; 10725219
AB  - The association between exposure to 14 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in newborn boys and the position and function of the testes is evaluated. It is suggested that by measuring the concentration of PBDEs in breast milk, the infant exposure is assessed that reflects the accumulated body burden of the mother. Positive correlations are found between measurements in placenta and breast milk, but three to four times lower absolute concentrations in placenta. The total amount of PBDEs does not differ between Finnish and Danish milk or placenta samples but the pattern of congener distribution varies, which indicates different sources and timing of exposure. Breast milk, but not placenta, shows an association with congenital cryptorchidism. The association between PBDE contamination levels in breast milk and congenital cryptorchidism is of concern because exposure to PBDEs is considerable in some areas.

T1  - Relationship Between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-DNA Adducts, Environmental Tobacco Smoke, and Child Development in the World Trade Center Cohort
AN  - 14822197; 10725216
AB  - Relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adducts, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and child development in the World Trade Center (WTC) cohort is examined. Multiple linear regression analyses show no significant effects of cord adducts or ETS exposure on Mental Development Index (MDI) or Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) at 3 years of age. The effect of increasing PAH-DNA adduct levels among children exposed prenatally to ETS is modest. Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke is associated with deficits in birth weight and birth length and adverse effects on cognitive development. It is concluded that exposure to elevated levels of PAHs, indicated by PAH-DNA adducts in cord blood, may contribute to a modest reduction in cognitive development among children prenatally exposed to the WTC event.

T1  - The Contribution of Dental Amalgam to Urinary Mercury Excretion in Children
AN  - 14822177; 10725220
AB  - Age, race, and sex related changes in urinary mercury concentrations associated with amalgam exposure are investigated. A strong positive association is demonstrated between urinary mercury concentration and both number of amalgam surfaces and time since placement. The results report significantly greater whole-body mercury retention as well as greater mercury accumulation in kidneys and spleens of male compared with female mice of several strains during prolonged exposure to mercury chloride. Women are reported to have significantly higher urinary mercury concentrations than men with comparable number of dental amalgam fillings. No known sex difference in humans with regard to the urine formation rate by the kidneys is found. The present findings imply a greater degree of mercury retention by males, possibly consistent with higher tissue levels observed in some studies.

T1  - Relationship of Blood Mercury Levels to Health Parameters in the Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta)
AN  - 14822169; 10725205
AB  - Relationship of blood mercury levels to health parameters in the loggerhead sea turtle is examined. Blood is an economical matrix for analysis because nearly all of the total mercury (THg) present in blood is methyl mercury (MeHg), reducing the need for costly and time-consuming speciation. Blood Hg levels in sea turtles are lower compared with those of most marine mammals and seabirds. The toxicological significance of the blood Hg concentrations documented in most of the wildlife species remains unclear. The positive relationship observed between blood Hg and hematocrit is consistent with the role of red blood cells as the primary transport mechanism of Hg throughout the body. Depending on the species, the cellular component of blood may have Hg concentrations 10-200 times higher than those of plasma because of the higher affinity of Hg for RBCs.

T1  - Maternal Residence Near Agricultural Pesticide Applications and Autism Spectrum Disorders Among Children in the California Central Valley
AN  - 14822133; 10725214
AB  - The effect of maternal residence near agricultural pesticide applications on development of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) among children in the California central valley is evaluated. The objective is to systematically explore the general hypothesis that residential proximity to agricultural pesticide applications during pregnancy can be associated with ASD in offspring. GABA-mediated neurotransmission is known to play important roles in gestational brain development, and the theory that alters gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA) metabolism can play a role in ASD. Risk for ASD is consistently associated with residential proximity to organochlorine pesticide applications occurring around the period of central nervous system (CNS) embryogenesis. The association appears to increase with dose and is attenuated with increasing distance of residence from field site.

T1  - Tumor Suppressor Gene Inactivation During Cadmium-Induced Malignant Transformation of Human Prostate Cells Correlates with Overexpression of de Novo DNA Methyltransferase
AN  - 14822117; 10725210
AB  - The impact of chronic cadmium exposure leading to acquisition of a malignant phenotype on DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) activity in a human cell model using cadmium-transformed prostate epithelial (CTPE) cells is assessed. It is indicated that during cadmium-induced transformation, CTPE cells acquire androgen independence, and the propensity for cadmium to induce DNA hypermethylation may contribute to the conversion. It is observed that over expression of DNMT3b is associated with cadmium-induced malignant transformation in human prostate epithelial cells. It is observed that overexpression of DNMT3b causes genomewide and gene-specific DNA hypermethylation in association with DNMT1. DNMT3b overexpression occurs contemporaneously with global DNA hypermethylation and tumor suppressor gene silencing through increased promoter region methylation. Genomewide hypermethylation and DNMT3b overexpression combined with tissue cadmium levels may provide biomarkers to specifically identify cadmium-induced human prostate cancers.

T1  - DDT and Breast Cancer in Young Women: New Data on the Significance of Age at Exposure
AN  - 14822080; 10725203
AB  - The role of serum DDT in inducing breast cancer in young women is investigated. Serum o,p'-DDT is one of the least persistent DDT-related compounds and is an indicator of recent, active exposure to DDT. It is observed that serum p,p'-DDT is associated with breast cancer only for women potentially exposed at a young age. The median blood levels of DDT-related compounds are higher than average levels in women living in Mexico. Findings support the hypothesis that initial exposure to p,p-DDT during a critical period in early life is more important for breast cancer development than chronic exposure to its metabolite, p,p'-DDE. It is suggested that higher serum levels of DDT-related compounds observed are due to blood collection during peak, active DDT exposure.

T1  - Association Between Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water and Plasma Levels of Soluble Cell Adhesion Molecules
AN  - 14822060; 10725204
AB  - Association between arsenic exposure from drinking water and plasma levels of soluble cell adhesion molecules is examined. Positive associations of well arsenic concentration are observed with plasma levels of soluble vascular adhesion molecule (sVCAM-1) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1). Findings of the positive association between arsenic exposure and sICAM-1 support that diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share common antecedents that may be affected by arsenic exposure. High levels of baseline well arsenic and baseline urinary arsenic, which are significantly correlated with baseline well arsenic, are related to increases in sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 over time. Findings suggest that the effect of high level, long-term arsenic exposure on vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction persists over time in spite of short-term changes in exposure level and antioxidant treatment.

T1  - Early Childhood Lower Respiratory Illness and Air Pollution
AN  - 14821606; 10725218
AB  - Relationship between early childhood lower respiratory illness (LRI) and air pollution is examined. Early childhood respiratory illness accounts for much of the morbidity in the youngest segments of the population. LRIs are more serious than illness affecting upper airways, often resulting in lost workdays for employed parents. Potential mechanisms by which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or PM sub(2.5) may increase LRIs are numerous, including oxidative stress, structural damage, efficient transport of pathogenic microbes, and immune dysregulation. Strong association of PAHs with LRIs, especially bronchitis, in children between birth and 4.5 years of age is observed. It is concluded that short-term exposure to PAHs may represent a significant public health threat to children.

T1  - Developing Asthma in Childhood from Exposure to Secondhand Tobacco Smoke: Insights from a Meta-Regression
AN  - 14821570; 10725201
AB  - Various aspects related to developing asthma in childhood from exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) are studied. A positive and consistent pattern of association between household SHS exposure and the relative risk (RR) of developing asthma during childhood in meta-analyses is observed. The positive relationship with age category identified suggests that the risk of developing asthma from a longer time of exposure to SHS increases in later childhood. The elevated RRs for the association between household SHS and prevalent as well as incident asthma suggest that the association between SHS exposure and asthma is not caused by selection or misclassification biases. It is concluded that SHS exposure duration may also play a fundamental role in the development of asthma.

T1  - Assessing Exposure to Atrazine and its Metabolites Using Biomonitoring
AN  - 14821518; 10725212
AB  - Exposure to atrazine (ATZ) and its metabolites using biomonitoring is assessed. The small amount of data that demonstrate that exposure to ATZ-related chemicals can be misrepresented by measurement of atrazine mercapturate (AM) alone. Occupational or lower-level acute exposures, after ATZ use on lawns, are probably more likely to be direct exposures to ATZ and lesser exposures to the degradation products. Exposure to the dealkylation products is important because these chemicals remain biologically active. Although diaminochlorotriazine (DACT) appears to be the predominant metabolite detected in each exposure category, the interperson variations in its concentrations are consistently about 30 percent. DACT and desethylatrazine (DEA) appear to be the most important metabolites to evaluate exposures to ATZ-related chemicals.

AN  - 14821515; 10725199
AB  - Genesis and structure of the pediatric environmental health (PEH) fellowship program launched by Ambulatory Pediatric Association (APA) are described. The goal of the APA Fellowship Program in PEH is to train a select cadre of pediatricians who will become the next generation of physician-scientists and academic leaders in pediatric environmental medicine. Two major challenges confront the future development of PEH and the graduates of the fellowship program: funding and credentialing. Funding is a problem at the federal level in the era of declining support for biomedical research. Credentialing issues need to be addressed to clarify career pathways for graduates of the PEH fellowship program. Clarification of these issues may also assist with problems pertaining to reimbursement for specialty-based services in PEH.

AN  - 14821485; 10725208
AB  - Relationship of diabetes to serum levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides in adult Native Americans is investigated. A significantly higher concentration of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is found in women with diabetes than in women without the disease. Higher proportions of impaired fasting glucose are reported among subjects from high pollution areas with high serum concentrations of PCB, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and HCB. Nonsignificant negative correlation is observed between the mirex concentration in adipose tissue of live sea turtles and plasma glucose. A negative association is found between whole blood mirex concentration and plasma glucose. Serum concentrations of total PCBs, two single PCB congeners, DDE, and HCB are positively associated with an elevated incidence of diabetes in an adult Native-American population.

AB  - Cancer mortality and incidence of mesothelioma in a cohort of wives of asbestos workers in Casale Monferrato, Italy, are studied. Significant increase in both pleural cancer mortality and pleural malignant mesothelioma (MM) incidence among women who are exposed to asbestos at home as wives of asbestos-cement (AC) worker is observed. Pleural cancer is the only cancer for which a statistically significant increase in risk is observed. In all categories of exposure duration, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for pleural neoplasm are significantly increased and an increasing trend with longer duration of exposure is observed. The increased risk of MM from home exposure among women married to asbestos workers is confirmed. The increase of risk is limited to pleural MM and is not observed for other diseases associated with occupational asbestos exposure, such as lung cancer.

AB  - The contribution of Environmental Literacy movement to environmental health is examined. Environmental literacy initiatives that seek to educate rather than proselytize have many benefits for society as well as the individual. The Environmental Literacy Council has partnered with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) to create several new professional development modules. The movement involves a wide variety of federal, state, and private groups nationwide that have mobilized and developed dynamic programs to educate people about the environment and its relevance to human health. Environmental educators believe that environmental literacy must be pursued through a multipronged approach that reaches out not only to teachers and parents but also to community leaders and the workplace.

T1  - High-precision calculation of the branching ratio of the 40K decay constant.
AN  - 1093405406; 11694724
AB  - super(40)K is of great importance in Earth science, particularly for K/Ar, super(40)Ar/ super(39)Ar and K/Ca geochronology. The decay scheme of the super(40)K includes two different modes of decay, beta and electron capture followed by gamma-ray emission, which yield two different products, super(40)Ca* and super(40)Ar*. The relative probability that super(40)K decay following one of the two schemes is known as the branching ratio. An original method of calculation to obtain the value of the super(40)K branching ratio (λ sub(β -) /λ sub(tot)) based on the K/Ar technique, is proposed. λ sub(β -) /λ sub(tot) is obtained by combining the super(40)Ar*/ super(40)K value of Fish Canyon sanidine (FCs) secondary standard derived from four primary super(40)Ar/ super(39)Ar standards, with the current best estimates of the age of FCs and the value of the super(40)K total decay constant. The latest estimation of the super(40)K total decay constant and the age of FCs by Mundil et al. (2006), through comparison with U/Pb ages, yields a λ sub(β -) /λ sub(tot) value of 89.59 0.03% (1σ ; relative error = 0.035%). Indirect measurement of the age of FCs by orbital tuning (Kuiper et al 2008) combined with the value of super(40)K total decay constant measured by liquid scintillation counting by Kossert and Gunther (2004) yields a statistically indistinguishable value for the branching ratio of 89.61 0.03%, with an average between the two values of 89.60 0.04%. The method proposed here allows can easily be applied to further constrain the value of the super(40)K branching ratio as future refinements of the super(40)K decay constant and FCs age are produced, although it is expected that the adopted value will be close to λ sub(β -) /λ sub(tot) = 89.60 0.04%.

T1  - Multiple Stable States in Hydrological Models: An Eco-hydrological Example
AN  - 1093399638; 11692680
AB  - Many physical based models of surface and groundwater hydrology are constructed without the possibility of multiple stable states for the same parameter set because they do not include positive feedbacks. For such a conceptualization, at the cessation of a transient hydrological disturbance of any magnitude the model will return to the same stable state, and thus show an infinite resilience. To highlight and challenge this assumption a numerical distributed eco-hydrological model (coupled hillslope Boussinesq-vertically lumped vadose zone) was developed in which qualitatively different steady state water table elevations exist for the same parameter set. The multiple steady states are shown to emerge from a positive feedback arising from a reduction in leaf area index (LAI) and, thus, transpiration, as a saline water table approaches the surface. Limit cycle continuation (LCC) was undertaken to quantify the state space location of the threshold (repellor) between the steady states (attractors) and quantify the resilience. Time series simulations and LCC were undertaken for two lower boundary conditions: a fixed hydraulic gradient; and a general head, which simulates the interaction with a river. For both conditions three ranges in saturated lateral conductivity (k sub(sat)) existed in which i) only the shallow; ii) both the shallow and deep; and iii) only the deep water table attractor exist. For the general head boundary, these three parameter regions also produced multiple attractors of runoff and baseflow such that, for k sub(sat) of 0.5 m day super(-1), a change from the shallow to deep attractor resulted in a reduction to baseflow and total flow of 93% and 71% respectively. Such an attractor shift occurs if there is a sufficient low-rainfall disturbance. Upon cessation of the disturbance, the system has a high probability of remaining in the deep water table basin of attraction and thus stream and baseflow remain low. While the model is bio-physically simple it is sufficiently realistic to challenge the implicit assumption of hydrological systems having a single attractor and to investigate the implications for water resource management.

T1  - A theoretical analysis of mixed convection in aquifer storage and recovery: How important are density effects?
AN  - 20395948; 7552022
AB  - Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) involves the injection of freshwater into a confined aquifer and represents an alternative to surface water storage. This paper investigates the hydrogeologic parameters governing density effects in a mixed convection system during the injection, storage and recovery of a freshwater bubble in a saline (isotropic and homogeneous) aquifer. The vertical interface between injected freshwater and ambient saltwater is inherently unstable due to the density difference between the two fluids. This instability can potentially lead to macroscopic rotation of the interface, leading to premature breakthrough of salt at the bottom of the well and hence reduce the volume of water that is recoverable at an acceptable quality. Significance of density effects during injection was found to depend on the mixed convection ratio (a ratio of the characteristic velocities from forced convection due to pumping, to free convection due to concentration differences), with the greatest interface tilt occurring with high density contrasts plus slow injection rates and high hydraulic conductivities. During storage, the extent of the density effect depends on the storage duration and hydraulic conductivity. During recovery, the breakthrough curve shape is profoundly different in density-dominated cases compared with advection and dispersion-dominated cases. Dispersive mixing was found to attenuate density effects in all three phases of ASR. This study demonstrates that the density contrast alone is insufficient as a decision parameter when choosing whether density effects are negligible. Even when modelling ASR scenarios where the density contrast is low and would traditionally be considered negligible, the decision to include or neglect fluid density in the model should be based on a full mixed convection analysis, as considered in this study. Density effects in ASR are shown to depend on the relative influences of the density difference, hydraulic conductivity, pumping rates, injected radius, storage duration, and dispersivity.

T1  - Transgender people attending a Sydney sexual health service over a 16-year period.
AN  - 68382549; 17931532
AB  - Previous studies have concluded that transgender people are a marginalised and stigmatised group, with high rates of sexually transmissible infections (STI), sex work, injecting drug use and multiple sexual partners. To our knowledge, this is the first study in Australia to focus on the sexual behaviour and sexual health needs of transgender people attending an urban sexual health clinic.
          A retrospective case note review was undertaken of the transgender attendees of the Sydney Sexual Health Centre between 1990 and 2006. Demographics, gender characteristics, risk behaviours, sexual health morbidity, psychosocial information and other significant features of the transgender population were assessed. Forty clients were identified as transgender, of whom 36 (90%) were male-to-female and four (10%) were female-to-male. Seventeen (43%) had a history of sex work, 16 (40%) had injected drugs, 14 (35%) had had unprotected anal or vaginal sex in the past 3 months. Twenty (50%) clients had histories of a STI, including three (7.5%) that were HIV positive, and two were co-infected with hepatitis C. Genital warts and chlamydia were the most common diagnoses made during the study period. Physical examination was inadequately documented in 53% of first visits. Psychosocial morbidity was common.
          Transgender clients presented infrequently at this clinic. Although half reported few risks, the other half reported multiple risk behaviours and had most STI. These findings suggest that there needs to be improved sexual health service for transgender clients at our clinic.

T1  - Treating chronobiological components of chronic insomnia.
AN  - 68137249; 17383935
AB  - Circadian rhythms have a strong effect on the ability to sleep across the 24-h period. Maximum sleepiness occurs at the phase of lower endogenous core body temperature. This period is bracketed by two periods of alertness: a "wake-maintenance zone" occurring 6-10h before the time of core temperature minimum, and a "wake-up zone" occurring 4-7h after the minimum. Therefore, if the circadian rhythm drifts earlier with respect to the attempted sleep period, the wake-up zone can impinge on the end of the normal sleep period resulting in premature awakening and the development of early morning awakening insomnia. Similarly, a delay of the circadian rhythm can impose the wake-maintenance zone on the attempted bedtime and lead to sleep onset insomnia. Therefore, these two types of insomnia should be treatable with chronobiologic effects such as bright light and, possibly, melatonin administration. Bright light stimulation at normal wake-up time and melatonin administration 4-8h before normal bedtime can phase advance circadian rhythms to an earlier time. While morning bright light has been efficacious for sleep onset insomnia, evening melatonin administration has yet to be tested. Early morning awakening insomnia has been treated with phase delays imposed by evening bright light but not yet with morning melatonin administration. There is now sufficient evidence to warrant the consideration of chronobiologic manipulations such as bright light therapy for the treatment of chronic sleep onset and early morning awakening insomnia that show evidence of circadian delay or advance, respectively.

AB  - Comments on the growing popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, del.icio.us, Orkut, Friendster, LinkedIn, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter. In the decade since Web use went mainstream, there has been a lot of talk about what is now known commonly as Long Tail, or the ability of large-scale systems to help people with like interests find small-scale products that none of them might otherwise learn about. There is a downside to all of this talk of things social. As soon as one becomes an access point, he/she also becomes a data point. Make no mistake" Facebook and MySpace would not still be around if they could not make a lot of money off of each consumer, so the consumer must remember that while his/her use of these services makes it all seem better for everybody else, the sites' owners are skimming profit right off the top of that network effect. One ugly phrase that gets to this truth effectively (which might be what makes so many people react to its ugliness) is "user-generated content". (Quotes from original text)

T1  - The influence of childbirth expectations on Western Australian women's perceptions of their birth experience
AN  - 57229467; 200809645
AB  - Objectives to explore and describe the influence of childbirth expectations on women's perception of their birthing experience and expectations for subsequent births. This was the second phase of a study, the purpose of which its purpose was to determine the childbirth expectations of a cohort of Western Australian women and ascertain factors that influenced these expectations. Design a qualitative study which used an exploratory descriptive design. Data were collected from in-depth individual interviews. Setting Perth, Western Australia. Participants 20 women, 11 primiparae and nine multiparae, who between them had experienced 31 births. These women had participated in phase one when they were either pregnant or had birthed within the preceding 12 months. Phase two interviews occurred 5-6 months after phase one. Findings the themes and sub-themes revealed in phase one of the study were supported in phase two. Although women held multiple expectations for birth, specific expectations were regarded as priority. Consequently, to perceive birth as positive, a woman had to achieve her priority expectations. Multiparae reported more positive birth experiences, having altered expectations as a result of previous experiences. Unaffirming birth experiences due to unmet expectations were more common after a first birth. Women with unfulfilled expectations subsequently adapted their expectations to be more achievable thus avoiding disappointment. Supportive behaviours of maternity health-care providers assisted women to evaluate their birth experience as positive even when expectations could not be achieved. Implications for practice the evaluation of birth experiences as positive or negative is contingent upon achieving most, or at least the priority, childbirth expectation. Knowing a woman's expectations assists the midwife in her advocacy role. This role in assisting women to achieve their expectations is reinforced by this research. Caregivers become even more important when expectations are not able to be realised. Behaviours that encourage involvement and participation in decision-making during birth promote feelings of control, coping and feeling supported, which ultimately are needed for women to assess their birth experience as positive. Achievable expectations, such as 'being flexible' and 'only having a healthy baby' could be regarded as a lessening of ideals. The issue of whether these changing expectations are contributing to the increasing technocratic approach to birth and the resulting devaluing of the normal birth experience requires further debate.

T1  - Perspectives: Healthy Cities, local environmental action and climate change
AN  - 57103456; 200801520
AB  - This paper reports results of a study that explored the relationship between the local environmental actions of Healthy Cities programs and the adverse health impacts of climate change. The analysis is primarily based on a limited literature review of climate change and health, with particular attention to the relationships between Healthy Cities and climate change, and on documentary analysis of information from organization reports and website content associated with Healthy Cities programs in Europe and Australia. Four semi-structured interviews with key people in two Healthy Cities programs in Europe and Australia were conducted to provide information to supplement and complement the published information and to verify theme identification. The main findings of this study are that, although there is no explicit connection between the local activities of Healthy Cities programs and the potential (or actual) adverse health impacts of climate change, Healthy Cities programs are involved in many local environmental actions and some of these actions, for example, those relating to improving air quality and reducing pollution, are linked implicitly to the health impacts of climate change. Through their local relationships and their participation in regional networks, Healthy Cities are able to make connections between local environmental actions and the health impacts of climate change. Furthermore, expanding Healthy Cities to include eco-social sustainability as a central aim not only has the potential to strengthen the links between local environmental actions and climate change, but also presents a relevant health development setting for exploring the social and environmental sustainability of cities.

T1  - The law: executive order 13422: an expansion of presidential influence in the rulemaking process
AN  - 36898710; 3548305
AB  - Executive Order 13422, issued by President George W. Bush in January 2007, contains the most significant changes to the presidential regulatory review process since 1993. The changes include requirements that agencies designate a presidential appointee as a 'regulatory policy officer' who can control rulemaking activity and identify the `market failure' or problem that warrants a new regulation. The order also expands presidential review to include significant guidance documents. Although these changes have been criticized as an expansion of presidential influence over rulemaking (to the detriment of Congress and agencies), the ultimate impact of the order may only be revealed through its implementation.

T1  - Historical changes in juvenile southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii growth rates based on otolith measurements
AN  - 20646974; 7906105
AB  - Suspected historic changes in juvenile southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii growth rates were investigated using otolith increment width data. Four hundred and ninety otoliths were selected from fish estimated to be between 1 and 41 years-old. The distance between the first five annuli were measured on the otoliths, giving estimates of otolith growth for age classes 1+ to 4+ years for fish spawned from the early 1960s to mid 1990s. The data showed that growth rates of juveniles (age 1+ and 2+ years) started to increase at around 1979-1980, and that growth continued to increase throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Lee's phenomenon was not observed in the data. Correlation tests did not reveal clear relationships between annual otolith growth and regional environmental variables such as sea surface temperature or Southern Oscillation Index. The increase in otolith growth, however, was consistent with juvenile growth estimates obtained from other sources, and correlated with large-scale trends in population size and environmental conditions.

T1  - Seed and microsite limitations of recruitment and the impacts of post-dispersal seed predation at the within population level
AN  - 20578343; 8142775
AB  - Seed predation may cause important seed losses in plant populations, but its impact on the dynamics of populations will depend on the degree of seed or microsite limitations for recruitment. Seed losses will only affect recruitment if it is seed limited. The nature of recruitment limitation (seeds or microsites) is usually ascribed to whole plant populations but it may vary within populations among microhabitats and habitats. Thus, the potential impact of seed predation will also vary within the population, being highest where recruitment is seed limited. The impact to the whole population will depend on the spatial concordance between the intensity of seed predation and that of seed limitation. Recruitment limitations (with seed addition experiments), seed predation (with seed removal experiments), and the dynamics of seed availability in the soil (with soil samples taken both after seed dispersal and before the following dispersal event) of the shrub Corema album (Empetraceae) were investigated in dunes in NW Spain, at microhabitats 'open ground', 'underneath C. album [female]', and 'underneath C. album [male ]' at two habitats, sparse and dense scrub. The nature of recruitment limitation (seeds vs. microsites) varied within the population. It was seed limited in the microhabitat 'open ground' and microsite limited under shrub cover. The spatial patterns of seedling recruitment were unrelated to seed availability but strongly affected by germination requirements. The spatial discordance between seed availability and recruitment implies a crucial constraint for processes affecting seed availability (seed predation but also e.g., dispersal) to impact recruitment. They will not affect its spatial pattern but only its quantity as long as they act in those sites selected by seeds to germinate. Seed predation was highest underneath mother plants and lowest in open ground. Thus, its potential impact is low, as it is centred where recruitment is not seed limited. This study shows that the analysis of seed predation in relation to recruitment limitations at smaller spatial scales within the population provides more insight to understand its impact.

T1  - Deliberative monetary valuation (DMV): Issues in combining economic and political processes to value environmental change
AN  - 20577424; 7764043
AB  - This paper explores and contrasts the different social processes of valuation now appearing as economic means of valuing the environment. Monetary valuation via stated preference approaches has been criticised for assuming well formed and informed preferences and excluding a range of sustainability concerns such as rights, fairness and equity. Deliberative monetary valuation (DMV) in small groups is a novel hybrid of economic and political approaches which raises the prospect of a transformative and moralising experience. Critics of standard contingent valuation approaches have advocated this as offering a way forward. However there has been a lack of clarity as to the means of obtaining values, the expected outcomes and their role. Moving to group settings of deliberation raises concepts of social willingness to pay and accept which are distinct from an aggregate of individual value, although this does not seem to have been widely recognised. A new classification of values is presented appropriate to the literature trying to merge economic and political processes. Values associated with the individual may be exchange values, charitable contributions or fair prices, while social values can be speculative, expressive or arbitrated. The use of DMV is shown to result in different values due to variations in the institutional setting and process of valuation.

T1  - Serum Sorbitol Dehydrogenase Activity as an Indicator of Chemically Induced Liver Damage in Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri)
AN  - 20498157; 7732016
AB  - The value of serum sorbitol dehydrogenase (s-SDH) activity to diagnose chemically induced liver damage in the fish, black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri), was assessed by intraperitoneal injection with pentachlorophenol sodium salt. Day 3 post-injection s-SDH activity levels were elevated in fish injected at the highest dosage (30 mg Kg super(-1)) compared to control and other treatment groups. Control fish had s-SDH activity levels within the range of 15 to 88 mU mL super(-1) serum, while at the highest Na-PCP treatment s-SDH activity was 2.5 to 3.5 times higher on day 3 relative to control fish with levels returning to control levels by the 6 super(th) day following injection. An increase in the liver somatic index was not identified until day 6 post-injection and histological damage (hyperplasia) was not detected until the 9 super(th) day following injection in the high dosage treatment group. This study confirms that changes in s-SDH activity in black bream due to exposure to hepatotoxicants can be detected before physiological or histopathological changes became evident, and that levels of s-SDH in the serum of black bream in excess of 88 mU mL super(-1) serum indicate potential liver damage.

T1  - The diversity of Linnaean communities: a way of detecting invertebrate groups at risk of extinction
AN  - 20486680; 7953538
AB  - As ecologists use changes in the relative abundances of species to detect environmental stress in ecological communities, it is possible to do the same for higher taxa ('Linnaean communities') by examining the distribution of species between genera. Using an adaptation of Simpson's diversity index (D), we predict that, like ecological communities, mature Linnaean communities have D values >0.8 and developing and relictual communities have D values <0.8. We show that D values for seven Australian weevil taxa, three indicated to be mature (Amycterini, Aterpini, Leptopiina), two relictual (Nemonychidae, Belinae) and two actively radiating groups (Gonipterini, Cyphicerina), are as predicted. Apparently subdivision of niche space has the same statistical effects in stressed Linnaean communities as it does in ecological communities, with firstly the loss of species in genera with intermediate numbers of species followed by the loss of monotypic genera. Clearly therefore, the protection of monotypic genera in Linnaean communities with low D values should be the highest conservation priority as these are at the highest risk of extinction, while monotypic genera in high-D communities are not at such high risk. Similarly, the geographical distribution of monotypic genera in Linnaean communities with low D values, rather than that of rare species (most of which will be in genera with many species), may constitute a useful way of identifying areas of conservation concern.

T1  - Discriminating alternative stock-recruitment models and evaluating uncertainty in model structure
AN  - 20459335; 7552553
AB  - Fish stock-recruitment (S-R) assessment is one of the most essential keystones for fisheries management. Yet the analysis involves a variety of uncertainties. Amidst these difficulties, uncertainty in model structure is perhaps the most problematical to investigate because no rigorous statistical techniques can be used to explore the fundamental biological processes in S-R relationships. In this paper, I used computer simulations to investigate: (1) the differences between the estimated parameters of alternative S-R models as a function of stock characteristics: population growth rate, data range, fishing mortality, and process noise; and (2) the probability of selecting a correct model using information criteria. Two popular S-R functions, the Ricker and the Beverton-Holt models, were used as examples. Time series data were generated from a known S-R model and fitted by alternative models. The results show that when the two models fit the data similarly well, significant differences in parameters existed between the alternative models. The Ricker model tended to underestimate the population growth rate (initial slope) and the carrying capacity parameter, whereas the Beverton-Holt model overestimated these parameters. The management quantities (e.g., optimal virgin stock size) produced by one model were more conservative (i.e., larger optimal stock size or lower optimal harvest rate) under some conditions but became less conservative under other conditions. The differences between the alternative models were functions of the population growth rate, long-term fishing mortality, and data range of the stock size. The correct and incorrect models were statistically indistinguishable. For typical fishery data the probability of selecting the correct model based on information criteria was approximately 0.70 for the Ricker model and 0.61 for the Beverton-Holt model.

T1  - Integrated disease management of ascochyta blight in pulse crops
AN  - 20409128; 7621219
AB  - Ascochyta blight causes significant yield loss in pulse crops worldwide. Integrated disease management is essential to take advantage of cultivars with partial resistance to this disease. The most effective practices, established by decades of research, use a combination of disease-free seed, destruction or avoidance of inoculum sources, manipulation of sowing dates, seed and foliar fungicides, and cultivars with improved resistance. An understanding of the pathosystems and the inter-relationship between host, pathogen and the environment is essential to be able to make correct decisions for disease control without compromising the agronomic or economic ideal. For individual pathosystems, some components of the integrated management principles may need to be given greater consideration than others. For instance, destruction of infested residue may be incompatible with no or minimum tillage practices, or rotation intervals may need to be extended in environments that slow the speed of residue decomposition. For ascochyta-susceptible chickpeas the use of disease-free seed, or seed treatments, is crucial as seed-borne infection is highly effective as primary inoculum and epidemics develop rapidly from foci in favourable conditions. Implemented fungicide strategies differ according to cultivar resistance and the control efficacy of fungicides, and the effectiveness of genetic resistance varies according to seasonal conditions. Studies are being undertaken to develop advanced decision support tools to assist growers in making more informed decisions regarding fungicide and agronomic practices for disease control.

T1  - Characterization of incense smoke by solid phase microextraction-Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC)
AN  - 20405975; 7542851
AB  - Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography in tandem with flame ionization detection (GCxGC-FID) was used for the qualitative fingerprint characterisation of four different types of powdered incense headspace (H/S), and incense smoke. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the incense powder and smoke were extracted by using solid phase microextraction (SPME) with a polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) 65 mu m fiber. Low-polarity/polar, and polar/non-polar phase combinations were tested to contrast the GCxGC separation of components in these two column sets. A total of 324 compounds were tentatively identified, with more than 100 compounds in incense powders and more than 200 compounds in the incense smoke, by using GC coupled to quadrupole mass spectrometric detection. Identification required at least 90% match with the NIST library; otherwise they were considered as unidentified. The smoke stream comprised compounds originating from the incense powder, and combustion products such as PAH, N-heterocyclics, and furans. However, GCxGC was able to separate many more volatile compounds (possibly hundreds more) present in the complex smoke samples, many of which cannot be separated by conventional 1D-GC; this is a direct consequence of the high-resolution power of GCxGC. GCxGC fingerprint comparison of powder H/S with smoke allows facile subtraction of the former from the latter to assist identification of compounds generated from burning incense.

T1  - Predicting the economic impact of an invasive species on an ecosystem service
AN  - 20331909; 7600146
AB  - Quantifying the impact of alien invasive species on ecosystem services is an essential step in developing effective practices and policy for invasive species management. Here we develop a stochastic bioeconomic model that enables the economic impact of an invasive pest to be estimated before its arrival, based on relatively poorly specified ecological and economic parameters. We developed the model by using a hypothetical invasion of the varroa bee mite (Varroa destructor) into Australia and the negative flow-on effects that it would have on pollination by reducing honey bee populations, giving rise to a loss of pollination services, reduced crop yields, and additional production costs. If the mite were to continue to be prevented from entering the country over the next 30 years, we estimate that the economic costs avoided would be US$16.4-38.8 million (Aus$21.3-50.5 million) per year. We suggest that current invasion response funding arrangements in Australia, which do not acknowledge these avoided damages, require amendment.

T1  - Does high growth rate of juvenile house mice with prolonged access to ripening grain and free water drive population outbreaks?
AN  - 20321346; 7722767
AB  - Post-weaning growth rates were measured for juvenile house mice (Mus domesticus) reared under four experimental treatments representing dietary conditions in cereal-growing areas of southeastern Australia. The mice were bred in captivity from adult wild mice captured in mature dry cereal crops during summer. Juvenile mice were caged in pairs at 23 degree C and offered a diet of either ripening wheat heads or mature dry wheat heads, with or without access to free water. All diets were adequate for survival, but juvenile mice on a diet of ripening wheat with water available grew at 0.25 g day super(-1), 260% faster than those on a diet of mature wheat and deprived access to free water. Mice on a diet of ripening wheat but deprived of free water and those on a diet of mature wheat with water available grew at intermediate rates. Post-weaning growth rates of mice in all treatment groups were higher when the young were weaned at higher body mass. The results have implications for estimates of growth, timing of sexual maturity and reproduction of mice in field populations, and indicate that prolonged access to ripening grain and/or relief from moisture stress are likely to be critical to rapid population increase during population outbreaks.

T1  - Understanding and predicting effects of modified interactions through a qualitative analysis of community structure
AN  - 20321081; 7731911
AB  - Models of ecological communities are traditionally based on relationships between pairs of species, where the strengths of per capita interactions are fixed and independent of population abundance. A growing body of literature, however, describes interactions whose strength is modified by the density of either a third specks or by one of the species involved in a pairwise interaction. These modified interactions have been treated as indirect effects, and the terminology addressing them is diverse and overlapping. In this paper, we develop a general analytical framework based on a qualitative analysis of community structure to account for the consequence of modified interactions in complex ecological communities. Modified interactions are found to create both direct and indirect effects between species. The sign of a direct effect can change in some instances depending on the magnitude of a hey variable or parameter, which leads to a threshold change in system structure and dynamics. By considering alternative structures of a community, we extend our ability to model perturbations that move the system far from a previous equilibrium. Using specific examples, we reinterpret existing results, develop hypotheses to guide experiments or management interventions, and explore the role of modified interactions and positive feedback in creating and maintaining alternative stable states. Through a qualitative analysis of community structure, system feedback is demonstrated as beingkey in understanding and predicting the dynamics of complex ecological communities.

T1  - The economics of climate change impacts a la Stern: Novel and nuanced or rhetorically restricted?
AN  - 19647865; 7764044
AB  - The Stern report conducts an estimation of Greenhouse Gas control costs weighed against the benefits of avoiding damages at the global scale. As I show, Stern and colleagues are aware of the limits to CBA, although they chose to ignore the considerable literature on the subject, the many contributions by ecological economists, and especially work specific to the enhanced Greenhouse Effect. Various problems are raised or mentioned in the report including: strong uncertainty, incommensurability, plural values, non-utilitarian ethics, rights, distributional inequity, poverty, and treatment of future generations. How then can this report, acknowledging so many of those aspects of climate change that render CBA an unsuitable tool for generating policy recommendations, go ahead to conduct a global CBA and make policy recommendations? I explain how issues are suppressed and sidelined in a careful and methodical manner, with the pretence they have been addressed by 'state of the art'solutions. Meanwhile, the authors maintain allegiance to an economic orthodoxy which perpetuates the dominant political myth that traditional economic growth can be both sustained and answer all our problems. Besides perpetuating myths, this diverts attention away from alternative approaches, away from ethical debates over harming the innocent, the poor and future generations, and away from the fundamental changes needed to tackle the very real and serious problems current economic systems pose for environmental systems.

AN  - 19336908; 8688914
AB  - A multilevel survival frailty model is presented for analyzing clustered and recurrent urinary tract infections among elderly women residing in aged- care institutions. At the subject level, serial dependence is expected between recurrent events recorded on the same individual. At the cluster level, correlations of observations within the same institution are present due to the inherent residential environment and hierarchical setting. Two random components are therefore incorporated explicitly within the survival frailty model to account for the simultaneous heterogeneity and autoregressive structure. A Splus computer program is developed for the estimation of fixed effect and variance component parameters.

T1  - Lead Induces Chondrogenesis and Alters Transforming Growth Factor- beta and Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in Mesenchymal Cell Populations
AN  - 14828660; 10721271
AB  - Effect of lead (Pb) on chondrogenesis and transforming growth factor- beta (TGF- beta ) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in mesenchymal cell populations is investigated. E11.5 mouse limb bud mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by enzymatic digestion of limb bud tissue are prepared. It is found that BMP receptor signaling occurs in a manner analogous to the TGF- beta pathway, with Smad1/5/8 binding to the type 1 BMP receptor, which is followed by phosphorylation of these factors upon ligand activation. Although Pb alters BMP and TGF- beta signaling, the mechanism through which Pb regulates mesenchymal cell fate determination is complex and likely involves modulation and integration of multiple signaling pathways. It is concluded that in addition to affecting chondrocyte maturation, Pb accelerates the differentiation of mesenchymal precursors into chondrocytes.

T1  - Error and Bias in Determining Exposure Potential of Children at School Locations Using Proximity-Based GIS Techniques
AN  - 14825429; 10721283
AB  - Exposure potential of children at school locations using proximity-based geographic information system (GIS) techniques is assessed. The methodology relies on a comparison between the results of geocoding and the actual school locations. The results suggest that the identification of schools at risk based on proximity is unreliable at short distances. The widespread availability of powerful geocoding tools in commercial GIS software and the interest in spatial analysis at the individual level have made address geocoding a widely employed technique in epidemiologic studies. Major limitations include the unique nature of school locations, which results in larger error than is typically encountered for residential locations, and the fact that only a single country in the United States is considered.

T1  - Spheres of Influence Certified Coffee: Does the Premium Pay Off?
AN  - 14825374; 10721267
AB  - Various aspects related to the certification of coffee are discussed. Fair Trade stipulates that certified cooperatives receive a premium of at least US$0.10 more per pound for their products than uncertified farms. Initial indications suggest that certification has a beneficial effect on forest health. The idea of certification has flourished among consumers. The best prospect for coffee growers may rest less on certification and more on producing top-quality coffee. Certification programs for other forest products may also hold lessons for the coffee industry and policy makers. It is suggested that consumer education doesn't directly affect coffee-growing communities, but its value shouldn't be ignored.

T1  - Maternal Serum Polychlorinated Biphenyl Concentrations Across Critical Windows of Human Development
AN  - 14825041; 10721276
AB  - Change in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations from preconception to pregnancy, through pregnancy or after a year without becoming pregnant is measured. The objectives are to obtain longitudinally collected biospecimens for the quantification of PCBs over sensitive critical windows and to evaluate perconception data collection methodologies appropriate for population-based epidemiologic research. No significant difference in the median periconception PCB concentrations by PCB grouping and reproductive outcome is observed. PCB concentrations decline significantly during the periconception window of human development among women achieving pregnancy. PCB concentrations increase among women with postnatal measurement. The findings suggest the relatively dynamic nature of serum PCB concentrations during the earliest windows of human development underscoring the need to characterize exposures during the periconception window.

T1  - Workgroup Report: National Toxicology Program Workshop on Hormonally Induced Reproductive Tumors-Relevance of Rodent Bioassays
AN  - 14824077; 10721281
AB  - Efforts of National Toxicology Program (NTP) Roadmap to achieve the NTP vision for the 21st century, are investigated. A recent workshop, Hormonally Induced Reproductive Tumors-Relevance of Rodent Bioassays, is organized by NTP. The workshop's objective is to determine the utility and relevance to human disease outcome of experimental rodent models for evaluating reproductive tumors. In the absence of an ideal model, the existing rodent models are useful for identifying the potential ability of a compound to induce biological change and serve a useful screening function to identify potential carcinogens. The inadequacy of the current models applies to the testis, although more complete understanding of the responses of Leydig cells to hormonal changes in rats may prove predictive for effects in humans other than cancer.

T1  - Depuration of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Breast Milk from California First-Time Mothers (Primiparae)
AN  - 14824044; 10721270
AB  - Depuration of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in breast milk from California is studied. Depuration rates of 12 PBDE congeners and 80 PCB congeners are examined by measuring concentration in serial samples collected over extended periods from two groups namely, short-term (ST) and long-term (LT). Time series data indicate that body burdens of PCBs and PBDEs are lowered by lactation, but only slowly, averaging 1-3 percent per month. It is indicated that 6 months of breast-feeding decreases PBDE levels in mothers by 12-18 percent and PCB 153 levels by approximately 4 percent. It is concluded that effective primary prevention measures to reduce exposures to PBDEs are unlikely to come from changes in lifestyle but rather through decreasing the use of these chemicals in consumer products.

T1  - Differential Response of Mono Mac 6, BEAS-2B, and Jurkat Cells to Indoor Dust
AN  - 14823991; 10721277
AB  - Effects of indoor dust on human monocyte, epithelial, and cell lines are investigated. Indoor dust is collected from 42 households in northern Germany with standard vacuum cleaners. Mono Mac 6 (MM6), BEAS-2B (B2B), and T-cell line Jukart (JKT) cells respond similarly with detoxification, antiapoptosis, and reduced mitotic and metabolic activity to a representative indoor dust from German homes. The observed defense response to indoor dust in MM6 and B2B cells promotes a T-helper 1 (T sub(H1))-skew and suggests weak oxidative stress and subtle DNA damage. It is concluded that allergens in indoor dust may alter cell functions because of their enzymatic and toxic activity.

T1  - Waste Couture: Environmental Impact of the Clothing Industry
AN  - 14823932; 10721266
AB  - Environmental impact of the clothing industry is investigated. With the rise in production in the fashion industry, demand for man-made fibers, especially polyester, has nearly doubled in the last 15 years. Industrialization brings consumerism with it as an integral part of the economy. To address the environment of fast fashion at its source, and to find a niche in this increasingly competitive market, some manufacturers are aiming to develop eco-fashions. More innovative eco-fashions are being developed and made available to consumers at different levels of the fashion spectrum, from causal clothing to haute couture. Consumer awareness about the fate of clothing through its life cycle may be the best hope for sustainability in the fashion industry.

T1  - Workgroup Report: Developing Environmental Health Indicators for European Children: World Health Organization Working Group
AN  - 14823906; 10721285
AB  - Environmental health indicators for European children are developed. The indicators cover most of the priority topic areas specified in the Children's Environmental and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE) as adopted in the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Health and Environment. The indicators are designed to enable monitoring of children's environmental health risks, their determinants, and effects of the intervention. The indicators provide a sustainable basis for reporting and dissemination of evidence-based information on children's environmental health, avoiding duplication and ensuring continuity. The indicators developed and made available through the regional pilot surveys as well as information from ongoing international surveys will be part of the comprehensive evidence base towards healthy public policies to protect the health of children and the generations to come.

T1  - Environmetnal Exposures and Gene Regulation in Disease Etiology
AN  - 14823878; 10721269
AB  - Various aspects related to environmental exposures and gene regulation in disease etiology are investigated. The objective is to identify points of gene expression regulation, occurring along the process described by the central dogma, that are affected by environmental factors, particularly contaminants. Epidemic studies in particular provide insights that further the understanding of fetal origins of adult disease, while also offering new research avenues for the investigation of acquired, and potentially heritable, generic variation and disease susceptibility. The new ways of thinking about disease etiology are indicated, showing that disease risk is best predicted by considering genetic and environmental factors in tandem.

T1  - Meeting Report: The Role of Environmental Lighting and Circadian Disruption in Cancer and Other Diseases
AN  - 14823522; 10721282
AB  - Role of environmental lighting and circadian disruption in cancer and other diseases is evaluated. Light has direct acute effects on neuroendocrine systems, such as, in suppressing melatonin synthesis or elevating cortisol production. A rapidly growing and very exciting body of basic science is uncovering the mechanisms for phototransduction in the retina for environmental control of circadian and other neurobehavioral responses and the makeup and functioning of the clock physiology that exert generic control of the endogenous rhythms. The challenge for the future is to integrate the basic science with studies in experimental animals and clinical and epidemiologic research to advance the understanding of the impact of circadian disruption from lighting.

T1  - Life-Span Exposure to Low Doses of Aspartame Beginning During Prenatal Life Increases Cancer Effects in Rats
AN  - 14823439; 10721273
AB  - Effects of life-span exposure to low doses of aspartame (APM) in rats, are investigated. No difference is observed in water consumption between groups and between sexes. No difference in mean body weight is observed in the treated groups compared with controls. A slight decrease, seemingly dose related, in survival in the treated groups compared with control group in both male and female is observed. It is indicated that the results of second long-term carcinogenicity bioassay on APM, not only confirm but also reinforce experimental demonstration of APM's multipotental carcinogenicity at a dose level close to the human acceptable daily intake (ADI). It is concluded that when life-span exposure to APM begins during fetal life, its carcinogenic effects are increased.

T1  - Traffic-Related Atmospheric Pollutants Levels During Pregnancy and Offspring's Term Birth Weight: A Study Relying on a Land-Use Regression Exposure Model
AN  - 14823362; 10721272
AB  - Traffic-related atmospheric pollutants levels during pregnancy and offspring's term birth weight are measured. In the Munich LISA birth cohort, women are included after delivery in six obstetric clinics. The influence of particulate matter (PM) levels on term birth weight using a GIS-based land-use regression model is assessed. The results indicate that an increase in the prevalence of birth weights < 3,000 g is observed in association with estimated outdoor PM with an aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 mu m (PM sub(2.5)) levels and PM sub(2.5) absorbance at the home address of the mother during pregnancy. It is concluded that PM sub(2.5) absorbance may be associated with decreases in birth weight.

T1  - Persistent Tissue Kinetics and Redistribution of Nanoparticles, Quantum Dot 705, in Mice: ICP-MS Quantitative Assessment
AN  - 14823042; 10721279
AB  - Tissue kinetics and redistribution of nanoparticles of quantum dot 705 (QD705) in mice are assessed. Quantitative determination of cadmium is conducted using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Fluorescence light microscopy reveals the localization of QD705 in tissues. The plasma kinetics of QD705 reveals that its clearance from the blood is 2.3 mL/hr/kg. It is important to emphasize that essentially no excretion occurs in 28 days. Tissue localizations of QD705 are mainly at the linings of hepatic sinusoids, red pulps of spleen, renal vessels, and glomerular vasculature in the kidneys. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for QD705 in mice, on the basis of all the tissue kinetic data and other available information, is developed.

T1  - Half-Life of Serum Elimination of Perfluorooctanesulfonate, Perfluorohexanesulfonate, and Perfluorooctanoate in Retired Fluorochemical Production Workers
AN  - 14821802; 10721274
AB  - Half-life of serum elimination of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in retired fluorochemical production workers is estimated. A total of 24 participants are identified for the collection of blood samples. The actual pharmokinetic of PFOS, PFHS, and PFOA in humans is not likely to be consistent with a one-compartment distribution in spite of the fact that the present data fit to a first order model. The arithmetic mean half-lives of serum elimination are 5.4 years and 4.8 years for PFOS, 8.5 years and 7.3 years for PFHS and 3.8 years and 3.5 years for PFOA. The results indicate that the human half-life of serum elimination may be longer and more variable than that of PFOS.

T1  - Impact of Smoking and Thiocyanate on Perchlorate and Thyroid Hormone Associations in the 2001-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
AN  - 14819086; 10721278
AB  - Impact of smoking and thiocyanate on the relationship between urinary perchlorate and serum thyroxine (T sub(4)) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is assessed. The data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) are used for the analysis. Results reveal the way by which environmental chemical exposure can potentially interact with nutritional and lifestyle factors namely, smoking, iodine sufficiency, and thiocyanate intake, to affect an important health outcome. The results suggest that thyroidal effects of perchlorate are seen at commonly occurring perchlorate levels and fairly common iodine levels, and therefore can be affecting a large segment of the U.S. population. Further research is needed to identify other groups who may be particularly susceptible to the health effects of perchlorate, and information on the groups should be incorporated into public health policies aimed at preventing perchlorate activity.

T1  - Arsenic Exposure and Cognitive Performance in Mexican Schoolchildren
AN  - 14817998; 10721284
AB  - Effects of arsenic exposure on cognitive performance in Mexican schoolchildren, are investigated. The objective is to identify demographic and nutritional factors that are associated with arsenic in urine (UAs) concentration in school-age children. The mean for UAs is 58.1 plus or minus 33.2 mu g/L. Around 52% of the children have UAs concentration > 50 mu g/L, and 50.7% of the children have blood lead concentration (PbB) greater than or equal to 10 mu g/dL. It is observed that children in the group with high UAs concentration present lower scores in cognitive tests than children with low UAs concentration. The poor nutritional status increases the complications of arsenicosis. It is concluded children living in an area contaminated with both As and Pb show that As contamination affects children's cognitive function independent of any effect of lead.

T1  - Circulating memory B-cell subpopulations are affected differently by HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy
AN  - 20301217; 7593965
AB  - Objective: To determine if the depletion of IgM memory B cells might contribute to the increased susceptibility of HIV patients to pneumococcal infection, memory B-cell subpopulations were investigated in HIV patients, including patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods: Blood B cells with the phenotype of IgM memory B cells (CD27 super(+), IgM super(+)) and switched memory B cells (CD27 super(+), IgM super(-)) were measured in antiretroviral-treated (n=32) and untreated (n=24) HIV patients and non-HIV controls (n=35). Serum levels of IgG and IgG2 antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharides, IgG, IgG subclasses, IgM and IgA were also assayed in HIV patients. Results: Switched memory B-cell counts were lower than controls in HIV patients (P <0.01) irrespective of antiretroviral status and correlated with CD4 T-cell counts (r=0.56, P=0.001) in treated patients. In untreated patients, IgM memory B-cell counts correlated with CD4 T-cell counts (r=0.73,P <0.0001) reflecting higher values than controls in patients with CD4 T-cell counts greater than 300 cells/ mu l (P=0.004) and lower values than controls in patients with CD4 T-cell counts below 300 cells/ mu l (P=0.0001). There was no relationship between serum levels of pneumococcal antibodies and IgM or switched memory B cells. Conclusion: The depletion of IgM memory B cells in untreated HIV patients with a CD4 T-cell count below 300 cells/ mu l might be a risk factor for pneumococcal infection. The depletion of switched memory B cells is a complication of HIV infection irrespective of ART and might contribute to impaired IgG antibody responses. Memory B-cell subpopulations might predict the risk of pneumococcal sepsis more accurately than the CD4 T-cell count or pneumococcal antibody levels.

T1  - Measuring exurban change in the American West: A case study in Gallatin County, Montana, 1973-2004
AN  - 20491995; 7541841
AB  - Dispersed patterns of rapid rural, or ''exurban,'' growth in the American West are recognized as key threats to the region's biodiversity through habitat loss and fragmentation. Both planners and ecologists have responded with strategies to minimize the impact of these patterns-strategies which have appeared in local planning policies since the 1990s. This research examined the degree to which these changing policies were effective in changing subdivision patterns in Gallatin County, Montana. Using landscape metrics drawn from landscape ecology and urban sprawl literature, this study tracked changes in metrics across the 1973-2004 time period for regulated subdivision, major and minor, at several spatial scales. The results revealed several distinct trends: (1) major subdivisions became more ''clustered'' and less land consumptive, (2) minor subdivisions revealed the opposite trend and are recently consuming the more land, (3) distances from existing development decreased for major subdivisions, and (4) increasing numbers of parcels were near or within riparian areas. These findings indicated a differential impact of planning across scales and types of subdivision and a mixed success of planning in mitigating the environmental impacts of rural residential development.

T1  - Spatial patterns in the biology of the chokka squid, Loligo reynaudii on the Agulhas Bank, South Africa
AN  - 853476634; 14055468
AB  - Although migration patterns for various life history stages of the chokka squid (Loligo reynaudii) have been previously presented, there has been limited comparison of spatial variation in biological parameters. Based on data from research surveys; size ranges of juveniles, subadults and adults on the Agulhas Bank were estimated and presented spatially. The bulk of the results appear to largely support the current acceptance of the life cycle with an annual pattern of squid hatching in the east, migrating westwards to offshore feeding grounds on the Central and Western Agulhas Bank and the west coast and subsequent return migration to the eastern inshore areas to spawn. The number of adult animals in deeper water, particularly in autumn in the central study area probably represents squid spawning in deeper waters and over a greater area than is currently targeted by the fishery. The distribution of life history stages and different feeding areas does not rule out the possibility that discrete populations of L. reynaudii with different biological characteristics inhabit the western and eastern regions of the Agulhas Bank. In this hypothesis, some mixing of the populations does occur but generally squid from the western Agulhas Bank may occur in smaller numbers, grow more slowly and mature at a larger size. Spawning occurs on the western portion of the Agulhas Bank, and juveniles grow and mature on the west coast and the central Agulhas Bank. Future research requirements include the elucidation of the age structure of chokka squid both spatially and temporally, and a comparison of the statolith chemistry and genetic characterisation between adults from different spawning areas across the Agulhas Bank.

T1  - Pseudopolymorphism in brucine: brucine-water (1/2), the third crystal hydrate of brucine.
AN  - 68124570; 17675704
AB  - The structure of a third pseudopolymorphic hydrate of brucine, brucine-water (1/2) [systematic name: 2,3-dimethoxystrychnidin-10-one-water (1/2)], C(23)H(26)N(2)O(4).2H(2)O, has been determined at 130 K. The asymmetric unit comprises two independent brucine molecules and four water molecules of solvation. The four water molecules form uncommon cyclic hydrogen-bonded homomolecular R(4)(4)(8) tetramer rings, which then form primary hydrogen-bonded chain substructures extending down the 2(1) screw axis in the unit cell. The two brucine molecules are linked peripherally to these substructures by either single O-H...N(brucine) or asymmetric three-centre O-H...O(brucine) hydrogen bonds.

T1  - The role of dichotomous thinking and rigidity in perfectionism
AN  - 57230145; 200806361
AB  - Perfectionism is a complex psychological construct that has been defined in many different ways. Recent conceptualisations of perfectionism have involved dividing the construct into positive and negative components. Negative perfectionism is associated with high emotional distress whereas positive perfectionism is associated with positive affect and lower levels of distress. Although these distinctions have been made it remains unclear as to how distinct the two aspects of perfectionism are particularly in terms of their cognitive profiles. This study investigated two cognitive constructs that have been theoretically linked to perfectionism. Dichotomous thinking and rigidity were examined in three samples (40 clinical participants, 111 athletes, 101 students). As hypothesised, the clinical sample had the highest score on negative perfectionism, however, no differences were observed between groups on positive perfectionism. Dichotomous thinking emerged as the variable most predictive of negative perfectionism, and was less strongly related to positive perfectionism. These results highlight the importance of dichotomous thinking as a cognitive construct worthy of further research to understand negative perfectionism. Implications for the development of cognitive therapy interventions for negative perfectionism are discussed. [Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Patient Attitudes Toward Medical Students in an Outpatient Colorectal Surgery Clinic
AN  - 21046604; 8596269
AB  - Purpose: Patients with colorectal diseases may be reluctant to have medical students present during their outpatient clinic visit, especially when significant disrobing and embarrassing examinations are performed. This study examines patient attitudes in this regard. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients completed a questionnaire after the conclusion of their office visit. Patient age, gender, race, diagnosis, level of disease, socioeconomic status, and education level were recorded as well as attitudes toward the presence of students in the examination room. Responses were analyzed by using two-sample Z tests or chi-squared tests for comparison of proportions among groups. The pooled-variance t-test was used to compare the difference of means when appropriate. Results: Overall, 81 percent of patients accepted students' presence. Females were less likely than males (77 vs. 86 percent; P = 0.03) and blacks less likely than whites (61 vs. 88 percent; P = 0.004) to accept students. Higher compliance was demonstrated in patients with greater perceived severity of disease (P = 0.03). We found no significant correlation between patient level of education or income and their comfort level with respect to teaching in the examination room. However, racial differences were seen in this category (P = 0.01). Females were more likely to prefer the same gender student, but this was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Students are generally accepted in outpatient colorectal clinics (81 percent). Reasons for acceptance of students included being able to contribute to the teaching of future doctors. Reasons for refusal included perceived increased length of the office visit and patient privacy. We noticed significant differences in compliance by gender, race, and severity of disease, but not age, patient level of income, or education.

T1  - Characterizing an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci using hidden Markov models
AN  - 20641188; 7486193
AB  - Background. Antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens can arise in epidemic clusters or sporadically. Genotyping is commonly used to distinguish epidemic from sporadic vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). We compare this to a statistical method to determine the transmission characteristics of VRE. Methods and findings. A structured continuous-time hidden Markov model (HMM) was developed. The hidden states were the number of VRE-colonized patients (both detected and undetected). The input for this study was weekly point-prevalence data; 157 weeks of VRE prevalence. We estimated two parameters: one to quantify the cross-transmission of VRE and the other to quantify the level of VRE colonization from sporadic sources. We compared the results to those obtained by concomitant genotyping and phenotyping. We estimated that 89% of transmissions were due to ward cross-transmission while 11% were sporadic. Genotyping found that 90% had identical glycopeptide resistance genes and 84% were identical or nearly identical on pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). There was some evidence, based on model selection criteria, that the cross-transmission parameter changed throughout the study period. The model that allowed for a change in transmission just prior to the outbreak and again at the peak of the outbreak was superior to other models. This model estimated that cross-transmission increased at week 120 and declined after week 135, coinciding with environmental decontamination. Significance. We found that HMMs can be applied to serial prevalence data to estimate the characteristics of acquisition of nosocomial pathogens and distinguish between epidemic and sporadic acquisition. This model was able to estimate transmission parameters despite imperfect detection of the organism. The results of this model were validated against PFGE and glycopeptide resistance genotype data and produced very similar results. Additionally, HMMs can provide information about unobserved events such as undetected colonization.

AN  - 20494381; 7639854
AB  - In order to establish effective enzymatic biomarkers that could provide in situ early warning of contaminant exposure in estuarine ecosystems, the potential effects of the principal abiotic factors (temperature and salinity) were investigated on common biomarkers, the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) in Eurytemora affinis. Short term salinity stress effects simulated during an experimental tide indicated that enzymatic activities of this species are characterized by maximum expression related to an optimal salinity range (between 5 and 15psu). Moreover, longer time exposure to various salinity tanks confirmed the effects of this factor on both AChE and GST activities. Therefore, optimal AChE activity was measured at 10psu, while optimal GST activity was measured at 5psu. Furthermore, significant effects of temperature were also recorded, particularly for AChE expression (slight effects were measured on GST expression) with an optimal condition at 11°C. These experiments indicated a more pronounced effect of salinity over temperature especially on the AChE expression and confirmed the need to standardize sampling procedures in relation with environmental parameters for biomonitoring studies based on enzymatic analyses.

T1  - History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
AN  - 20468377; 7578266
AB  - This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community that developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Fossil analysis of a 47 cm long sediment core revealed a rich modern fauna dominated by filter feeders (sponges and bryozoans). The down-core assemblage indicated a succession in the colonisation of this site. The lower portion of the core (before similar to 9600 yr BP) was completely devoid of preserved fauna. The first colonisers (at similar to 10200 yr BP) were mobile benthic organisms. Their occurrence was matched by the first appearance of planktonic taxa, indicating a retreat of the ice shelf following the last glaciation to within sufficient distance to advect planktonic particles via bottom currents. The benthic infauna and filter feeders emerged during the peak abundance of the planktonic organisms, indicating their dependence on the food supply sourced from the open shelf waters of Prydz Bay. Understanding patterns of species succession in this environment has important implications for determining the potential significance of future ice shelf collapse.

T1  - Embryology and Early Ontogeny of An Anemonefish Amphiprion Ocellaris
AN  - 20467133; 7551046
AB  - The present study describes the embryonic development and early ontogeny of Amphiprion ocellaris from fertilization to post hatching. Anemonefish spontaneously spawned at 27-28C. The newly laid eggs were orange in colour and elliptical in shape (1.8x0.8 mm). Melanin appeared as a black mass situated at the vegetal pole in mature eggs. This is rarely seen in eggs of other fish species. We documented developmental times at 27-28C to egg activation (0.5 h), cleavage (4 h), blastula (11.5 h), gastrula (20 h), neurula (24.5 h), somite (28.5 h), turnover (72 h), blood formation (113 h) and internal ear and jaw formation (144 h). Hatching occurred 152 h after fertilization. On day 4, the eye buds were pigmented and melanophores formed on the ventral surface of the embryo. Internal ear and gill formation were completed on day 5 and coincided with movement of the opercula and pectoral fins. The mouth formed on day 6 and the digestive tract appeared on day 7. By day 10, the yolk was fully absorbed and a substantial amount of food was observed in the gut. Dark and orange pigments were dispersed and aggregated through muscle contractions by day 14, but red pigments did not appear until the fish were three months old. This study contributes to a further understanding of the embryology and the early ontogeny of damselfish and may help improve the culture of coral reef fish.

T1  - Effector proteins translocated by Legionella pneumophila: strength in numbers
AN  - 20443120; 7602898
AB  - The Gram-negative bacterium Legionella pneumophila is a parasite of eukaryotic cells. It has evolved to survive and replicate in a wide range of protozoan hosts and can also infect human alveolar macrophages as an opportunistic pathogen. Crucially for the infection process, L. pneumophila uses a type IV secretion system called Dot/Icm to translocate bacterial proteins into host cells. In recent years a large number of Dot/Icm-translocated proteins have been identified. The study of these proteins, referred to as effectors, is providing valuable insight into the mechanism by which an intracellular pathogen can manipulate eukaryotic cellular processes to traffic and replicate in host cells.

T1  - Comparison of Preseason, Midseason, and Postseason Neurocognitive Scores in Uninjured Collegiate Football Players
AN  - 20433047; 7528317
AB  - BACKGROUND: College football players sustain an average of 3 subconcussive blows to the head per game. Concussions correlate with decreases in standardized neurocognitive test scores. It is not known whether repetitive, subconcussive microtrauma associated with participation in a full season of collision sport affects neurocognitive test scores. HYPOTHESIS: No difference exists between preseason, midseason, and postseason Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) and Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) scores when collegiate football players sustain subconcussive microtrauma from forceful, repetitive contact activity. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Fifty-eight members of a Division III collegiate football team who had no known concussion during the season voluntarily completed the SAC and ImPACT instruments preseason, midseason, and postseason. A repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare the scores at the 3 time intervals (P < .05). RESULTS: No statistically significant decreases were found in overall SAC or ImPACT scores or in any of the domains or composites of the tests (P < .05) when preseason, midseason, and postseason scores were evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: ImPACT and SAC neurocognitive test scores are not significantly altered by a season of repetitive contact in collegiate football athletes who have not sustained a concussion. Clinical Relevance: A diminution in SAC or ImPACT scores in concert with clinical symptoms and findings should be interpreted as evidence of a postconcussive event.

T1  - The Effects of Hockey Protective Equipment on High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise
AN  - 20428266; 7544829
AB  - Purpose: To examine the impact of hockey protective equipment on thermal and fluid homeostasis and power output, during a high-intensity, intermittent, exercise protocol. We hypothesized that protective equipment would increase core temperature and reduce sprint power after a simulated hockey game. Methods: Eight men (26.8 plus or minus 1.7 yr) performed a repeated sprint test before and at the completion of a prolonged intermittent exercise protocol (game simulation) on a cycle ergometer under typical hockey ambient conditions. Reduction in exercise performance was calculated by comparing the pre- and postgame repeated sprint power outputs. The protocol was performed twice; once while wearing cotton undergarments only (NOPADS), and once while wearing cotton undergarments and the typical protective equipment worn during a hockey game (PADS). Results: During the simulated game, skin temperatures (34.12 plus or minus 0.24 degree C vs 28.85 plus or minus 0.31 degree C) and core temperature accumulated area under the curve (70.85 plus or minus 8.52 vs 48.21 plus or minus 3.05 degree C times min super(-1)) were elevated in PADS versus NOPADS, respectively (P < 0.05). Sweat loss as a percent of body mass was greater in PADS versus NOPAD, as were working and recovery heart rates. Plasma lactate concentration was also higher after the simulated game in PADS versus NOPADS (9.64 vs 5.96 mM, P < 0.05). When comparing post- with pregame sprint power output, both peak and mean power outputs were reduced in PADS (P < 0.05), whereas NOPADS values were unchanged. Conclusions: Reduced power output at the completion of the simulated game in PADS was attributed to an elevated body temperature, dehydration, and a greater accumulation of blood lactate.

T1  - How long would it take to become a giant squid?
AN  - 20351138; 7470833
AB  - Laboratory and field studies suggest that cephalopod growth occurs rapidly and is linked to temperature throughout a short life span. For giant squid such as Architeuthis, a paucity of size-at-age data means that growth is only inferred from isolated field specimens, based on either statoliths or isotopic analyses of tissue. In this study we apply simple growth models to obtain projections of the life span required to achieve the Architeuthis average body mass in scenarios which include an energy balance between rates of food intake and expenditure on growth and metabolism. Although the analysis shows that a wide range for the estimated life span is possible, energy conservation suggests that achievement of a larger size would be assisted by slower exponential growth early on. The results are compared with a sparse set of size-at-age data obtained from male and female Architeuthis wild specimens and possibly hint at some behavioural differences between males and females.

T1  - Pelagic cephalopods from eastern Australia: species composition, horizontal and vertical distribution determined from the diets of pelagic fishes
AN  - 20351108; 7470813
AB  - The distribution and relative biomass of cephalopods from pelagic waters off eastern Australia was examined between 1997 and 2004 from stomach contents of swordfish, yellowfin tuna and dolphinfish taken in the domestic longline fishery. A total of 38 taxa from 19 families were identified. Comparison of the species composition of the three predators indicated pronounced differences in cephalopod species composition. In swordfish, species of the family Ommastrephidae, particularly Ommastrephes bartramii (Lesueur 1821) and Nototodarus gouldi (McCoy 1888) dominated, whereas a more diverse mix of species was identified from yellowfin-sampled cephalopods. Todaropsis eblanae (Ball 1841) was the main cephalopod sampled from the surface-dwelling dolphinfish. For swordfish-sampled cephalopods, significant relationships were found between biomass and season, fluorescence and year. In yellowfin tuna, cephalopod biomass was significantly correlated with season, area and sea surface temperature. Significant factors differed between predator-sampler, possibly reflecting the limits of the predator, but could also give insights into individual cephalopod species distributions. However, the increase in cephalopod biomass over summer in both swordfish and yellowfin tuna suggested cephalopod biomass was higher over summer in the region.

T1  - Micro-geographic landscape features demarcate seedling genetic structure in the stream lily, Helmholtzia glaberrima
AN  - 20347967; 7541080
AB  - In this study, 169 stream lily (Helmholtzia glaberrima) seedlings from six micro-drainages were genotyped with AFLP markers to quantify the impact that topographic landscape features and altitude may have in shaping patterns of genetic diversity within individual populations. A global analysis of genetic diversity detected significant genetic differentiation among micro-drainages (F sub(S) sub(T)=0.22, P<0.01). The observed genetic structure of sampled sites conformed to a hierarchical model of gene flow. Assignment tests also supported a hierarchical model of gene flow as only one dispersal event among the sampled micro-drainages was detected. This suggests that opportunities for seed dispersal in H. glaberrima are highly constrained by patterns of hydrographic networks even at a local scale. In contrast, altitude had little impact on partitioning of genetic diversity as no increase in genetic diversity was evident among individuals in the upper (0.18+ /-0.02), and lower (0.17+/-0.02) areas of micro-drainages. Overall these results suggest that the influence of freshwater landscape features can vary widely the effect on the patterns of genetic diversity of seedlings in stream lily populations.

T1  - From plant neighbourhood to landscape scales: how grazing modifies native and exotic plant species richness in grassland
AN  - 20333058; 7564878
AB  - The interactive effect of grazing and soil resources on plant species richness and coexistence has been predicted to vary across spatial scales. When resources are not limiting, grazing should reduce competitive effects and increase colonisation and richness at fine scales. However, at broad scales richness is predicted to decline due to loss of grazing intolerant species. We examined these hypotheses in grasslands of southern Australia that varied in resources and ungulate grazing intensity since farming commenced 170 years ago. Fine-scale species richness was slightly greater in more intensively grazed upper slope sites with high nutrients but low water supply compared to those that were moderately grazed, largely due to a greater abundance of exotic species. At broader scales, exotic species richness declined with increasing grazing intensity whether nutrients or water supply were low or high. Native species richness declined at all scales in response to increasing grazing intensity and greater resource supply. Grazing also reduced fine-scale heterogeneity in native species richness and although exotics were also characterised by greater heterogeneity at fine scales, grazing effects varied across scales. In these grasslands patterns of plant species richness did not match predictions at all scales and this is likely to be due to differing responses of native and exotic species and their relative abundance in the regional species pool. Over the past 170 years intolerant native species have been eliminated from areas that are continually and heavily grazed, whereas transient, light grazing increases richness of both exotics and natives. The results support the observation that the processes and scales at which they operate differ between coevolved ungulate-grassland systems and those in transition due to recent invasion of herbivores and associated plant species.

T1  - Antibiotic and heavy metal resistance in motile aeromonads and pseudomonads from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms in Australia
AN  - 20266910; 7584845
AB  - A total of 129 Pseudomonas spp. and 90 Aeromonas spp. were isolated from nine rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms in Australia. All the isolates were tested for sensitivity to 15 antibiotics and the multiresistant strains were tested for sensitivity to seven heavy metals. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the agar dilution method. In Pseudomonas spp., resistance to amoxicillin, cefalothin, ceftiofur, ticarcillin, chloramphenicol, florfenicol, streptomycin, nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim was widespread, whereas resistance to cefotaxime and oxolinic acid was less common and only single isolates were resistant to tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole; all isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. In Aeromonas spp., resistance to amoxicillin and cefalothin was widespread, resistance to ticarcillin, tetracycline and streptomycin was common, whilst resistance to ceftiofur, florfenicol and sulfamethoxazole was less common. Single isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol, nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim, and all isolates were sensitive to cefotaxime, oxolinic acid, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. Multiple resistance was also observed. Most isolates were tolerant to different concentrations of various heavy metals, as evidenced by their MICs ranging from 6.25 is a subset of g/mL to >3200 is a subset of g/mL. These results confirm our previous findings that bacteria resistant to antibiotics are present in fish and sediments from aquaculture in Australia. In addition, we have found resistance to heavy metals in fish and sediment isolates. Much of the antibiotic resistance detected is likely to be intrinsic, although resistance to oxytetracycline, streptomycin and sulfonamides suggests either contamination from run-off from farms or perhaps off-label use of antibiotics in a situation where no antibiotics are licensed for use in aquaculture.

T1  - The role of secreted proteins in diseases of plants caused by rust, powdery mildew and smut fungi
AN  - 20208426; 8336623
AB  - Five unrelated avirulence (Avr) gene families have been cloned from flax rust and barley powdery mildew, fungal pathogens that make close contact with living host plant cells using specialized feeding structures called haustoria. Transgenic expression studies indicate Avr proteins are recognized by disease resistance (R) proteins within host cells, which suggests that Avr proteins are transported via an as yet unidentified route from the fungus to the host during infection. Recognition of flax rust AvrL567 proteins is by direct R-Avr protein interaction. Virulence effector functions have been demonstrated for barley powdery mildew Avr proteins Avra10 and Avrk1. Mildew resistance triggered by Avra10 in barley involves association of the cognate barley R protein Mla10 and transcriptional repressor proteins, including HvWRKY2, in the host nucleus. High amplitude defence gene expression has a dual dependence on transcriptional de-repression induced by specific R-Avr protein recognition and additionally, activation signals initiated by host perception of general pathogen molecules.

AN  - 20003875; 7985284
AB  - The effects of fuel characteristics and engine operating conditions on elemental composition of emissions from twelve heavy duty diesel buses have been investigated. Two types of diesel fuels - low sulfur diesel (LSD) and ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuels with 500ppm and 50ppm sulfur contents respectively and 3 driving modes corresponding to 25%, 50% and 100% power were used. Elements present in the tailpipe emissions were quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) and those found in measurable quantities included Mg, Ca, Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ti, Ni, Pb, Be, P, Se, Ti and Ge. Multivariate analyses using multi-criteria decision making methods (MCDM), principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) facilitated the extraction of information about the structure of the data. MCDM showed that the emissions of the elements were strongly influenced by the engine driving conditions while the PCA loadings plots showed that the emission factors of the elements were correlated with those of other pollutants such as particle number, total suspended particles, CO, CO2 and NOx. Partial least square analysis revealed that the emission factors of the elements were strongly dependent on the fuel parameters such as the fuel sulfur content, fuel density, distillation point and cetane index. Strong correlations were also observed between these pollutants and the engine power or exhaust temperature. The study provides insights into the possible role of fuel sulfur content in the emission of inorganic elements from heavy duty diesel vehicles.

T1  - The M flax rust resistance pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced and contains a complex upstream untranslated region
AN  - 19754031; 7571268
AB  - Alternative splicing is an important step in controlling gene expression and has been shown to occur for a number of plant disease resistance (R) genes. The specific biological role of alternatively spliced transcripts from most R genes is unknown, yet in two cases it is clear that functional disease resistance cannot be activated without them. We report 12 splice isoforms of the M flax rust resistance gene, a TIR-NBS-LRR class of R gene. Collectively, these isoforms are predicted to encode at least nine different polypeptide products, only one of which is a full length peptide believed to confer functional M gene-specific disease resistance. An additional intron to that previously described was found in the 5' untranslated region. Splicing of this leader intron removes an upstream ORF ( mu ORF) sequence. In some transcripts the leader intron is retained and in this case we predict negligible translation initiation of the full length M gene-encoding ORF. The majority of the alternatively spliced isoforms of M would encode truncated TIR and TIR-NBS containing proteins. Although the role of alternative splicing and the existence and function of the products they encode is still unclear, the complexities of the splicing profile, and the 5' UTR of the M gene, are likely to serve in mechanisms to regulate R protein levels.

T1  - Thermal stability of octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide modified montmorillonite organoclay.
AN  - 70527722; 17418856
AB  - Organoclays are significant for providing a mechanism for the adsorption of organic molecules from potable water. As such their thermal stability is important. A combination of thermogravimetric analysis and infrared emission spectroscopy was used to determine this stability. Infrared emission spectroscopy (IES) was used to investigate the changes in the structure and surface characteristics of water and surfactant molecules in montmorillonite, octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and organoclays prepared with the surfactant octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide with different surfactant loadings. These spectra collected at different temperatures give support to the results obtained from the thermal analysis and also provide additional evidence for the dehydration which is difficult to obtain by normal thermoanalytical techniques. The spectra provide information on the conformation of the surfactant molecules in the clay layers and the thermal decomposition of the organoclays. Infrared emission spectroscopy proved to be a useful tool for the study of the thermal stability of the organoclays.

T1  - The growth of the banded carpet shell (Paphia rhomboides) in a contrasted region, the English Channel (Western Europe): A modelling study
AN  - 19706602; 7498504
AB  - Paphia rhomboides is an infaunal filter-feeding bivalve, particularly widespread and abundant in the English Channel. In order to investigate the influence of the growth-related post-settlement processes on its distribution, a spatial growth model was developed and linked to an existing ecological model of the English Channel. This model was partially parameterized on the basis of a specific ecophysiological experimental study, and calibrated with growth data collected in the ''Golfe Normand-Breton'' (GNB), a region of the English Channel. Compared to the actual distribution of P. rhomboides, the results suggest a strong influence of the growth-related processes on the distribution of the species: particularly, the extremely low growth obtained with the model in the Western Channel can explain the almost complete absence of the species in this area.

T1  - Modelling net ecosystem carbon and water exchange of a temperate Eucalyptus delegatensis forest using multiple constraints
AN  - 19994731; 7500350
AB  - This study examined the carbon budget of a Eucalyptus delegatensis forest over four years under contrasting weather conditions by using a comprehensive forest-growth model (CenW 3.1). Model parameterisation was constrained through multiple measurements, including daytime eddy flux measurements of CO sub(2) and water vapour exchange, estimates of above- and below-ground biomass pools, growth rates measured through stem-diameter increments and measurement of specific ecosystem processes, such as litter fall and soil respiration rates. The resultant estimates of net ecosystem exchange ranged from an uptake of 4.0t Cha super(-) super(1)year super(-) super(1) in a year with adequate rainfall to a loss of 0.4t Cha super(-) super(1)year super(-) super(1) in a year affected by drought and insect damage. The simulations indicated that this reduction in carbon gain was primarily due to insect damage rather than a direct consequence of water shortage. Under good growing conditions, carbon gain accumulated equally in stem wood and other biomass pools while soil organic carbon and woody litter were gradually decreasing following harvesting that had occurred 20 years earlier. Under more stressful conditions, net biomass increments decreased, while soil organic carbon and woody litter increased because of greater litter inputs and because drier conditions inhibited decomposition. Modelled estimates of photosynthesis and net ecosystem exchange were similar to estimates from eddy flux observations alone provided that it used a novel routine for deriving night-time carbon fluxes. Estimates of net ecosystem exchange derived in the present work were, however, substantially lower than previous estimates that had been derived using a more traditional analysis of eddy flux data. This study showed that detailed physiological modelling is a valuable technique for combining all available site information as well as further constraints based on broader scientific principles and considerations of the conservation of mass. It can thus provide a powerful constraint on the overall site carbon budget of an ecosystem.

T1  - Superfund: Evaluating the Impact of Executive Order 12898
AN  - 745926059; 11400407
AB  - BACKGROUND: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) addresses uncontrolled and abandoned hazardous waste sites throughout the country. Sites that are perceived to be a significant threat to both surrounding populations and the environment can be placed on the U.S. EPA Superfund list and qualify for federal cleanup funds. The equitability of the Superfund program has been questioned; the representation of minority and low-income populations in this cleanup program is lower than would be expected. Thus, minorities and low-income populations may not be benefiting proportionately from this environmental cleanup program. In 1994 President Clinton signed Executive Order 12898 requiring that the U.S. EPA and other federal agencies implement environmental justice policies. These policies were to specifically address the disproportionate environmental effects of federal programs and policies on minority and low-income populations. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: I use event history analysis to evaluate the impact of Executive Order 12898 on the equitability of the Superfund program. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest that despite environmental justice legislation, Superfund site listings in minority and poor areas are even less likely for sites discovered since the 1994 Executive Order. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that Executive Order 12898 for environmental justice has not increased the equitability of the Superfund program.

T1  - Mathematical interpretation of pollutant wash-off from urban road surfaces using simulated rainfall.
AN  - 70608079; 17521694
AB  - In the context of stormwater quality modelling, an in-depth understanding of underlying physical processes and the availability of reliable and accurate mathematical equations, which can replicate pollutant processes are essential. Stormwater pollutants undergo three primary processes, namely, build-up, wash-off and transport, before accumulating into receiving waters. These processes are expressed mathematically by equations in stormwater quality models. Among the three processes, wash-off is the least investigated. This paper presents the outcomes of an in-depth investigation of pollutant wash-off processes on typical urban road surfaces. The study results showed that a storm event has the capacity to wash-off only a fraction of pollutants available and this fraction varies primarily with rainfall intensity, kinetic energy of rainfall and characteristics of the pollutants. These outcomes suggest that the exponential equation commonly used for mathematically defining pollutant wash-off would need to be modified in order to incorporate the wash-off capacity of rainfall. Consequently, the introduction of an additional term referred to as the 'capacity factor'C(F) is recommended. C(F) primarily varies with rainfall intensity. However, for simplicity three rainfall intensity ranges were identified where the variation of C(F) can be defined. For rainfall intensities less than 40 mm/h, C(F) varies linearly from 0 to 0.5. For rainfall intensities from 40 to around 90 mm/h, C(F) is a constant around 0.5. Beyond 90 mm/h, C(F) varies between 0.5 and 1.

T1  - On the relationship between responsibility and guilt: Antecedent appraisal or elaborated appraisal?
AN  - 61692307; 200801862
AB  - Three studies are reported in which we examined the relation between responsibility and guilt. Results from Study 1 suggested that responsibility increased as a function of guilt, but that the reverse relation did not emerge. In the second and third studies we primed either responsibility or guilt and examined how these primes influenced subsequent appraisals for novel events. We also used different manipulations of responsibility and guilt. In Study 2 guilt was operationalized as negative interpersonal consequences as evidenced by the reactions of others. Responsibility was varied by manipulating the controllability of negative outcomes. In Study 3 responsibility was manipulated in terms of the severity of negative consequences for oneself Results of both studies showed that guilt primes gave rise to perceptions of responsibility but that responsibility primes did not affect perceptions of guilt. We conclude that responsibility is best regarded as an elaborated appraisal generated by guilt, rather than an antecedent of guilt. [Copyright 2006 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd.]

T1  - Beliefs About Gender Discrimination in the Workplace in the Context of Affirmative Action: Effects of Gender and Ambivalent Attitudes in an Australian Sample
AN  - 61631379; 200728353
AB  - This study investigated beliefs about gender discrimination in opportunities for promotion in organisations and their relation to gender and gender-focused ambivalent beliefs as measured, respectively, by the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) and the Ambivalence toward Men Inventory (AMI) (Glick and Fiske, Ambivalent sexism. In M.P. Zanna (Ed.), Advances in experimental social psychology, 33: pp. 115-188, San Diego, CA: Academic, 2001a). These two inventories were administered to 225 students at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia along with discrimination items concerning advantage, responsibility, guilt, and resentment about the advancement of men and women in the workplace. Results showed gender differences in discrimination beliefs and in the hostile and benevolent scales from the ASI and AMI. Gender differences and relations between these scales and the discrimination variables were interpreted in terms of system-justification, self and group interests, and the effects of values and beliefs about deservingness and entitlement.

T1  - Participatory communication and HIV/AIDS prevention in a Chinese marginalized (MSM) population
AN  - 57104887; 200802019
AB  - HIV/AIDS in China has entered a critical stage of rapid and widespread increase. It has been estimated that more than one million people in China have been infected with HIV and the rate of increase tops the world. The number could swell to 10 million by 2010 if more intense and effective preventive measures are not adopted immediately. Sex between men has been a mostly 'hidden' source of the spread of HIV in China. Homosexuality is no longer a criminal act in China, however, traditional 'official-led' so-called peer education programmes among men who have sex with men (MSM) have little effect in adopting and diffusing a key message to their networks. This is because the climate in HIV prevention through community- based advocacy among MSM has not been substantially changed which is due to these men still facing strong opposition and resistance from society, as a quite marginalized population in China. This study carried out in Chengdu is the first to explore how to use a socially and culturally appropriate participatory communication to promote safer sex behaviour with gay men and MSM in Chengdu, China. The study examined effectiveness of peer-led health message diffusion in promoting condom use through a participatory communication approach among these men in the programme. Key findings showed that the peer-based participatory communication strategy was effective for encouraging condom use with casual sexual partners in the intervention group. There was no significant change in the comparison group. It indicates that participatory involvement is the major driving force for HIV-related safer sex behaviour change and can be recommended to promote safer sex practice among gay men and MSM in their broad contexts.

T1  - The interaction of perfectionism, perceived weight status, and self-esteem to predict bulimic symptoms: The role of 'benign' perfectionism
AN  - 57061141; 200719790
AB  - The present study sought to replicate an interactive model of global perfectionism, perceived weight status, and self-esteem in predicting bulimic symptom development in a sample of young women [Bardone-Cone, et al. (2006). Predicting bulimic symptoms: An interactive model of self-efficacy, perfectionism, and perceived weight status. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 44, 27-42; Vohs, K. D., et al. (1999). Perfectionism, perceived weight status, and self-esteem interact to predict bulimic symptoms: A model of bulimic symptom development. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 108, 695-700; Vohs, K. D., et al. (2001). Perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, and self-esteem: An interactive model of bulimic symptom development. Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 20, 476-497]. The aim was to investigate the role of 'problematic' and 'benign' perfectionism within this model, using data from 95 female university students over a 3-month period. Contrary to hypotheses, multivariate analyses revealed a significant three-way interaction only between 'benign' perfectionism, perceived weight status and self-esteem in predicting change in bulimic symptoms over a 3-month period. The predictive effect of the interaction between 'benign' perfectionism and perceived weight status on bulimic symptoms was strongest for women with high self-esteem, for whom feeling overweight and having perfectionistic attitudes preceded increased bulimic symptoms. These findings suggest that high self-esteem is insufficient to protect against the development of bulimic symptoms when both the perception of oneself as being overweight, and high levels of perfectionistic standards, are present. It would appear that the role of perfectionism within the context of disordered eating is complex. [Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Believing in economic theories: sex, lies, evidence, trust, and ideology
AN  - 36799142; 3504188
AB  - Political economics views heterogeneity of political preferences largely as a reflection of heterogeneity in valuations of known policy outcomes. Voters, however, may be uncertain about policy outcomes, in part, because of uncertainty about how the economic world actually works. Heterogeneity of people's beliefs about how well economic theories predict outcomes could then affect policy through democratic institutions. Using a combination of experimental and survey techniques drawn from economics and social and political psychology, we examine several potential sources of heterogeneity in beliefs about the predictive content of supply and demand theory, with a particular focus on the role of ideology.

T1  - Metabolism of Low-Dose Inorganic Arsenic in a Central European Population: Influence of Sex and Genetic Polymorphisms
AN  - 21177205; 11400406
AB  - BACKGROUND: There is a wide variation in susceptibility to health effects of arsenic, which, in part, may be due to differences in arsenic metabolism. Arsenic is metabolized by reduction and methylation reactions, catalyzed by reductases and methyltransferases. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this study was to elucidate the influence of various demographic and genetic factors on the metabolism of arsenic. METHODS: We studied 415 individuals from Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia by measuring arsenic metabolites in urine using liquid chromatography with hydride generation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-HG-ICPMS). We performed genotyping of arsenic (+III) methyltransferase (AS3MT), glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1), and methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). RESULTS: The results show that the M287T (T--C) polymorphism in the AS3MT gene, the A222V (C--T) polymorphism in the MTHFR gene, body mass index, and sex are major factors that influence arsenic metabolism in this population, with a median of 8.0 microg/L arsenic in urine. Females 60 years of age had, in general, higher methylation efficiency than males, indicating an influence of sex steroids. That might also explain the observed better methylation in overweight or obese women, compared with normal weight men. The influence of the M287T (T--C) polymorphism in the AS3MT gene on the methylation capacity was much more pronounced in men than in women. CONCLUSIONS: The factors investigated explained almost 20% of the variation seen in the metabolism of arsenic among men and only around 4% of the variation among women. The rest of the variation is probably explained by other methyltransferases backing up the methylation of arsenic.

T1  - Modeling Mesothelioma Risk Associated with Environmental Asbestos Exposure
AN  - 21176837; 11400404
AB  - BACKGROUND: Environmental asbestos pollution can cause malignant mesothelioma, but few studies have involved dose-response analyses with detailed information on occupational, domestic, and environmental exposures. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we examined the spatial variation of mesothelioma risk in an area with high levels of asbestos pollution from an industrial plant, adjusting for occupational and domestic exposures. METHODS: This population-based case-control study included 103 incident cases of mesothelioma and 272 controls in 1987-1993 in the area around Casale Monferrato, Italy, where an important asbestos cement plant had been active for decades. Information collected included lifelong occupational and residential histories. Mesothelioma risk was estimated through logistic regression and a mixed additive-multiplicative model in which an additive scale was assumed for the risk associated with both residential distance from the plant and occupational exposures. The adjusted excess risk gradient by residential distance was modeled as an exponential decay with a threshold. RESULTS: Residents at the location of the asbestos cement factory had a relative risk for mesothelioma of 10.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.8-50.1), adjusted for occupational and domestic exposures. Risk decreased rapidly with increasing distance from the factory, but at 10-km the risk was still 60% of its value at the source. The relative risk for occupational exposure was 6.0 (95% CI, 2.9-13.0), but this increased to 27.5 (95% CI, 7.8-153.4) when adjusted for residential distance. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides strong evidence that asbestos pollution from an industrial source greatly increases mesothelioma risk. Furthermore, relative risks from occupational exposure were underestimated and were markedly increased when adjusted for residential distance.

T1  - Night Heart Rate Variability and Particulate Exposures among Boilermaker Construction Workers
AN  - 21171452; 11400401
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although studies have documented the association between heart rate variability (HRV) and ambient particulate exposures, the association between HRV, especially at night, and metal-rich, occupational particulate exposures remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: Our goal in this study was to investigate the association between long-duration HRV, including nighttime HRV, and occupational PM(2.5) exposures. METHODS: We used 24-hr ambulatory electrocardiograms (ECGs) to monitor 36 male boilermaker welders (mean age of 41 years) over a workday and nonworkday. ECGs were analyzed for HRV in the time domain; rMSSD (square root of the mean squared differences of successive intervals), SDNN (SD of normal-to-normal intervals over entire recording), and SDNN(i) (SDNN for all 5-min segments) were summarized over 24-hr, day (0730-2130 hours), and night (0000-0700 hours) periods. PM(2.5) (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter /= 2.5 microm) exposures were monitored over the workday, and 8-hr time-weighted average concentrations were calculated. We used linear regression to assess the associations between HRV and workday particulate exposures. Matched measurements from a nonworkday were used to control for individual cardiac risk factors. RESULTS: Mean (+/- SD) PM(2.5) exposure was 0.73 +/- 0.50 mg/m(3) and ranged from 0.04 to 2.70 mg/m(3). We observed a consistent inverse exposure-response relationship, with a decrease in all HRV measures with increased PM(2.5) exposure. However, the decrease was most pronounced at night, where a 1-mg/m(3) increase in PM(2.5) was associated with a change of -8.32 [95% confidence interval (CI), -16.29 to -0.35] msec nighttime rMSSD, -14.77 (95% CI, -31.52 to 1.97) msec nighttime SDNN, and -8.37 (95% CI, -17.93 to 1.20) msec nighttime SDNN(i), after adjusting for nonworking nighttime HRV, age, and smoking. CONCLUSION: Metal-rich particulate exposures were associated with decreased long-duration HRV, especially at night. Further research is needed to elucidate which particulate metal constituent is responsible for decreased HRV.

T1  - Acquisition of Apoptotic Resistance in Cadmium-Transformed Human Prostate Epithelial Cells: Bcl-2 Overexpression Blocks the Activation of JNK Signal Transduction Pathway
AN  - 21170664; 11400408
AB  - BACKGROUND: We have recently shown that cadmium can induce malignant transformation of the human prostate epithelial cell line (RWPE-1) and that these cadmium-transformed prostate epithelial (CTPE) cells acquire apoptotic resistance concurrently with malignant phenotype. OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to define the mechanism of acquired apoptotic resistance in CTPE cells. METHODS: Various molecular events associated with apoptosis were assessed in control and CTPE cells that were obtained after 8 weeks of continuous cadmium exposure. RESULTS: Compared with control, CTPE cells showed a generalized resistance to apoptosis induced by cadmium, cisplatin, or etoposide. Signal-regulated mitogen-activated protein kinases, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK1 and JNK2), and p38 were phosphorylated in a cadmium concentration-dependent fashion in CTPE and control cells. However, phosphorylated JNK1/2 levels and JNK kinase activity were much lower in CTPE cells. The pro-apoptotic gene Bax showed lower transcript and protein levels, whereas the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 showed higher levels in CTPE cells. The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, a key determinant in apoptotic commitment, increased more than 4-fold in CTPE cells. In Bcl-2-transfected PT-67 cells, phosphorylated JNK1/2 levels were much lower after apoptogenic stimulus, and apoptosis induced by cadmium or etoposide was reduced compared with control. Mutation of tyrosine to serine at the 21st amino acid of the Bcl-2 protein BH4 domain resulted in a loss both of suppression of JNK1/2 phosphorylation and its anti-apoptotic function. CONCLUSIONS: CTPE cells become resistant to apoptosis during malignant transformation, and disruption of the JNK pathway and Bcl-2 overexpression play important roles in this resistance. Bcl-2 BH4 domain is required for modulating JNK phosphorylation and anti-apoptotic function.

T1  - Obesity Is A Modifier of Autonomic Cardiac Responses to Fine Metal Particulates
AN  - 21152698; 11400393
AB  - BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests that obesity may impart greater susceptibility to adverse effects of air pollution. Particulate matter, especially PM(2.5) (particulate matter with aero-dynamic diameter /=2.5 microm), is associated with increased cardiac events and reduction of heart rate variability (HRV). OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to investigate whether particle-mediated autonomic modulation is aggravated in obese individuals. METHODS: We examined PM(2.5)-mediated acute effects on HRV and heart rate (HR) using 10 24-hr and 13 48-hr ambulatory electrocardiogram recordings collected from 18 boilermakers (39.5 +/- 9.1 years of age) exposed to high levels of metal particulates. Average HR and 5-min HRV [SDNN: standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (NN); rMSSD: square-root of mean squared-differences of successive NN intervals; HF: high-frequency power 0.15-0.4 Hz] and personal PM(2.5) exposures were continuously monitored. Subjects with body mass index /= 30 kg/m(2) were classified as obese. Mixed-effect models were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: Half (50%) of the study subjects were obese. After adjustment for confounders, each 1-mg/m(3) increase in 4-hr moving average PM(2.5) was associated with HR increase of 5.9 bpm [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.2 to 7.7] and with 5-min HRV reduction by 6.5% (95% CI, 1.9 to 11.3%) for SDNN, 1.7% (95% CI, -4.9 to 8.4%) for rMSSD, and 8.8% (95% CI, -3.8 to 21.3%) for HF. Obese individuals had greater PM(2.5)-mediated HRV reductions (2- to 3-fold differences) than nonobese individuals, and had more PM(2.5)-mediated HR increases (9-bpm vs. 4-bpm increase in HR for each 1-mg/m(3) increase in PM(2.5); p 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed greater autonomic cardiac responses to metal particulates in obese workers, supporting the hypothesis that obesity may impart greater susceptibility to acute cardiovascular effects of fine particles.

T1  - Office Work Exposures and Adult-Onset Asthma
AN  - 21148204; 11400394
AB  - BACKGROUND: Office exposures have been linked to symptoms of sick building syndrome, but their relation to the development of asthma has not been studied previously. These exposures have increasing importance because an increasing proportion of the workforce is working in office environments. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the relations of exposure to carbonless copy paper (CCP), paper dust, and fumes from photocopiers and printers to adult-onset asthma. METHODS: We conducted a population-based incident case-control study of adults 21-63 years of age living in the Pirkanmaa District in South Finland. All new clinically diagnosed cases (n = 521) of asthma were recruited during a 3-year study period. A random sample of the source population formed the controls (n = 1,016). This part focused on 133 cases and 316 controls who were office workers according to their current occupation classified by the 1988 International Standard Classification of Occupations. All participants answered a questionnaire on health, smoking, occupation, and exposures at work and home. Subjects with previous asthma were excluded. RESULTS: Exposures to paper dust [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.97; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.25-3.10] and CCP (OR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.03-2.66) were related to significantly increased risk of adult-onset asthma. An exposure-response relation was observed between exposure to paper dust and risk of asthma. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides new evidence that exposures to paper dust and CCP in office work are related to increased risk of adult-onset asthma. Reduction of these exposures could prevent asthma in office workers. Clinicians seeing asthma patients should be aware of this link to office exposures.

T1  - International Solvency Requirements - Towards more Risk-based Regimes
AN  - 20952070; 11040764
AB  - Insurance regulation and supervision is aimed at maintaining efficient, fair, safe and stable insurance markets for the benefit and protection of policyholders. So ensuring an insurer remains solvent and thus able to fulfil its obligations under all insurance contracts under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances is crucial. Insurer solvency therefore takes a central position in not only risk management by insurers, but also in effective insurance supervision, which must include a solvency regime which lays down solvency requirements.

T1  - Bacterial Dermatoses in Sports
AN  - 20639026; 7747622
AB  - Bacterial skin dermatoses are common in athletes, and it is the role of any team physician to be able to recognize and treat such problems. Despite the skin's role as an efficient barrier, a moist environment coupled with frequent skin trauma and athlete contact with equipment and other players predispose to acquiring infections. Many of these infections are easily treated and relatively benign, but in the past 10 years, there has been a dramatic rise in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. These infections can be disfiguring or even potentially life threatening if not treated promptly and appropriately. After discussion of community-acquired MRSA infections among athletes, this article focuses on the recognition of, management of, and return-to-play guidelines for common bacterial skin infections in athletes. Some of the more unusual bacterial infections that may present in this population are also reviewed.

T1  - Evolutionary Diversification Through Hybridization in a Wild Host-Pathogen Interaction
AN  - 20420704; 7785159
AB  - Coevolutionary outcomes between interacting species are predicted to vary across landscapes, as environmental conditions, gene flow, and the strength of selection vary among populations. Using a combination of molecular, experimental, and field approaches, we describe how broad-scale patterns of environmental heterogeneity, genetic divergence, and regional adaptation have the potential to influence coevolutionary processes in the Linum marginaleh-Melampsora lini plant-pathogen interaction. We show that two genetically and geographically divergent pathogen lineages dominate interactions with the host across Australia, and demonstrate a hybrid origin for one of the lineages. We further demonstrate that the geographic divergence of the two lineages of M. lini in Australia is related to variation among lineages in virulence, life-history characteristics, and response to environmental conditions. When correlated with data describing regional patterns of variation in host resistance diversity and mating system these observations highlight the potential for gene flow and geographic selection mosaics to generate and maintain coevolutionary diversification in long-standing host– pathogen interactions.

AN  - 20354642; 9031585
AB  - PathExpress is a web-based tool developed to interpret gene expression data obtained from microarray experiments by identifying the most relevant metabolic pathways associated with a subset of genes (e.g. differentially expressed genes). A graphical pathway representation permits the visualization of the expressed genes in a functional context. Based on the publicly accessible KEGG Ligand database, PathExpress can be adapted to any organism and is currently available for seven Affymetrix genome arrays. About 20% of the probe sets of each array have been assigned to Enzyme Commission numbers by homology relationship and linked to corresponding metabolic pathways. PathExpress is available at http://bioinfoserver.rsbs.anu.edu.au/utils/PathExpress/ .

T1  - Biocidal effect of bleach on Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a safety measure
AN  - 20330249; 7567152
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although treatment of sputum using bleach has shown increased sensitivity in smear microscopy, the safety aspect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has not been addressed. OBJECTIVE: To determine the biocidal effect of NaOCl on Mycobacterium tuberculosis when used as a safety measure in direct sputum smear microscopy for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). METHOD: A total of 156 smear- and culture-positive pooled sputum specimens were assessed for the viability of M. tuberculosis after treatment with NaOCl. Each specimen was divided into 11 equal portions. One portion was directly cultured. Each of five portions was treated with 3.5% NaOCl and the other five with 5% NaOCl. Specimens were then cultured at intervals of 15 min and 1, 3, 15 and 24 h. RESULTS: A total of 18 (11.5%) specimens showed growth after treatment with NaOCl. Of these, 5 (3.2%) showed growth upon treatment with 3.5% NaOCl at 15 min and 15 and 24 h. Ten (6.4%) showed growth after treatment with 5% NaOCl between 15 min and 3 h, but none showed growth after 15 h. Three (1.9%) specimens showed growth in both concentrations. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary findings show that exposure of sputum to 5% NaOCl for at least 15 h may be a safety procedure in smear microscopy for the diagnosis of TB. However, further studies are warranted.

T1  - Controlling a Multicenter Outbreak Involving the New York/Japan Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clone
AN  - 20326921; 7521322
AB  - OBJECTIVE. To describe the control of an outbreak of infection and colonization with the New York/Japan methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone in multiple healthcare facilities, and to demonstrate the importance of making an MRSA management policy involving molecular typing of MRSA into a statewide public health responsibility. setting. A range of healthcare facilities, including 2 metropolitan teaching hospitals and a regional hospital, as well as several community hospitals and long-term care facilities in a nonmetropolitan healthcare region. interventions. A comprehensive, statewide MRSA epidemiological investigation and management policy. RESULTS. In May 2005, there were 3 isolates referred to the Western Australian Gram-Positive Bacteria Typing and Research Unit that were identified as the New York/Japan MRSA clone, a pandemic MRSA clone with the ability to spread and replace existing clones in a region. Subsequent investigation identified 28 additional cases of infection and/or colonization dating from 2002 onward, including 1 involving a colonized healthcare worker (HCW) who had previously been hospitalized overseas. Of the 31 isolates detected, 25 were linked epidemiologically and via molecular typing to the isolate recovered from the colonized HCW. Four isolates appeared to have been introduced separately from overseas. Although the isolate from the single remaining case patient was genetically indistinct from the isolates that spread within Western Australia, no specific epidemiological link could be established. The application of standard outbreak management strategies reduced further spread. CONCLUSIONS. The elimination of the New/York Japan MRSA clone in a healthcare region demonstrates the importance of incorporating MRSA management policy into statewide public health programs. The mainstays of such programs should include a comprehensive and effective outbreak identification and management policy (including pre-employment screening of HCWs, where applicable) and MRSA clone identification by multilocus sequence typing.

T1  - Volatile organic compounds in indoor environment and photocatalytic oxidation: State of the art
AN  - 20297350; 7499624
AB  - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the major pollutants in indoor air, which significantly impact indoor air quality and thus influencing human health. A long-term exposure to VOCs will be detrimental to human health causing sick building syndrome (SBS). Photocatalytic oxidation of VOCs is a cost-effective technology for VOCs removal compared with adsorption, biofiltration, or thermal catalysis. In this paper, we review the current exposure level of VOCs in various indoor environment and state of the art technology for photocatalytic oxidation of VOCs from indoor air. The concentrations and emission rates of commonly occurring VOCs in indoor air are presented. The effective catalyst systems, under UV and visible light, are discussed and the kinetics of photocatalytic oxidation is also presented.

T1  - Development of sequence-tagged microsatellites for the barley net blotch pathogen, Pyrenophora teres
AN  - 20061438; 9161867
AB  - AbstractA modified sequenced-tagged microsatellite (STM) profiling procedure was used to develop 80 STMs for the barley net blotch pathogen, Pyrenophora teres. Of these, 60 STMs amplified 67 loci in one or both of the spot (P. teres f. maculata) and net (P. teres f. teres) forms of the pathogen. When screened on six field-sampled isolates of each pathogen form, 25 STMs revealed 26 polymorphic loci, with an average of 3.2 plus or minus 1.0 alleles and mean gene diversity of 0.59 plus or minus 0.12.

T1  - Rust of flax and linseed caused by Melampsora lini
AN  - 19894726; 7999815
AB  - Melampsora lini, while of economic importance as the causal agent of rust disease of flax and linseed, has for several decades been the 'model' rust species with respect to genetic studies of avirulence/virulence. Studies by Harold Flor demonstrated that single pairs of allelic genes determine the avirulence/virulence phenotype on host lines with particular resistance genes and led him to propose his famous 'gene-for-gene' hypothesis. Flor's inheritance studies, together with those subsequently carried out by others, also revealed that, in some cases, an inhibitor gene pair and an avirulence/virulence gene pair interact to determine the infection outcome on host lines with particular resistance genes. Recently, avirulence/virulence genes at four loci, AvrL567, AvrM, AvrP4 and AvrP/AvrP123, have been cloned. All encode novel, small, secreted proteins that are recognized inside plant cells. Yeast two-hybrid studies have shown that the AvrL567 proteins interact directly with the resistance gene protein. The molecular basis of Flor's gene-for-gene relationship has now been elucidated for six interacting gene pairs: those involving resistance genes L5, L6, L7, M, P and P2, where both the resistance gene and the corresponding avirulence gene have been cloned. In other inheritance studies it has been shown that M. lini does not possess a (+) and (-) mating system, but may possess a two factor system. Double-stranded (ds) RNA molecules occur in many strains of M. lini: examination of the progeny of one strain that possesses 11 dsRNA molecules revealed that they fall into three transmission units, designated L, A and B. The L unit consists of a single large dsRNA of 5.2 kbp while the A and B units each consist of five dsRNAs in the size range 1.1-2.8 kbp. The three units have different sexual and asexual transmission characteristics. The L unit is encapsidated in a virus-like particle, whereas the other units are not encapsidated. The population and coevolutionary aspects of M. lini on a wild, native Australian host species, Linum marginale, have been extensively investigated. A recent molecular analysis revealed that the M. lini isolates from L. marginale fall into two distinct lineages, one of which is apparently hybrid between two diverse genomes. Isolates in this lineage are largely fixed for heterozygosity, which suggests that sexual recombination does not occur in this lineage.

T1  - Presence and diversity of the beta -lactamase gene in cat and dog staphylococci
AN  - 19891783; 7641290
AB  - Staphylococci are part of the normal microflora of humans and animals and some are potential pathogens that have become resistant to almost all known antibiotics. Despite the widespread reports of penicillin resistance in cat and dog staphylococci, the mechanism underlying penicillin resistance has not been examined. This study was aimed at investigating the molecular basis of resistance to penicillin in cat and dog staphylococcal isolates that showed phenotypic resistance to beta -lactam antibiotics. An 861bp fragment of the structural blaZ gene which codes for beta -lactamase production in staphylococci was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the products were sequenced. Sequenced fragments were analysed by protein signature typing and sequences were compared to published blaZ sequences of human and bovine staphylococcal strains held in a public database. Four known protein signature types (1, 3, 5 and 6) and one new type (12) were identified in this study. When sequences were compared with published blaZ sequences, gene phylogenetic analysis revealed three major groups. The four variants of beta -lactamases types (A, B, C and D) belonged to each major group except for types A and D which were both in group II. These findings confirm that the blaZ gene is responsible for beta -lactamase production leading to subsequent resistance to beta -lactam antibiotics in feline and canine staphylococci and that the gene shows similar diversity and relatedness as found with blaZ sequences obtained from human and bovine staphylococci.

T1  - Rapid detection of early typhoid fever in endemic community children by the TUBEX® O9-antibody test
AN  - 19763866; 7583819
AB  - Typhoid remains a global public health problem, and quick accurate immunodiagnosis is needed. Here, we examined the performance of the 5-min TUBEX® O9-antibody detection kit in 243 outpatients (mostly children and infants) in their first week of fever and 57 healthy subjects in the Bangladesh community. Based on culture results, TUBEX® was 91.2% (31/34) sensitive and 82.3% (172/209) specific in febrile subjects. However, specificity was better in nonfebrile healthy subjects (89.5%, 51/57) or in febrile individuals who serologically had dengue fever (90.5%, 57/63), suggesting that some culture-negative febrile individuals could be truly typhoidal. These individuals were also positive in an anti-crude O9 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the Widal test. Regression analysis of the TUBEX® and ELISA results showed good concordance between them, better with the combined IgM-IgG ELISA than with IgM alone, suggesting that TUBEX® detects IgM antibodies not necessarily by themselves, as previously reported, but with the help of IgG antibodies.

T1  - Using modelling to assess the risk of malarial infection during the dry season, on a local scale in an endemic area of rural Burkina Faso
AN  - 19708324; 7520634
AB  - Mathematical modelling has been used to assess the level of malarial transmission, during the dry season, in Nouna province, in north-western Burkina Faso. The data used were collected, at four sites (one semi-urban and three rural), from 867 children aged 6-60 months who were randomly selected. Almost all of the children (850) completed the follow-up, which involved the active detection of malaria (i.e. febrile, smear-positive malarial infection) throughout a single dry season (December 2003-May 2004). Light traps were used to sample the local populations of Anopheles vectors, in order to estimate the daily biting rate. The mathematical model was then used to simulate the incidence of malaria, which was compared with the observed incidence. At all four study sites, new cases of malaria were observed throughout the dry season, although the level of transmission was low. The monthly incidence of malaria estimated using the mathematical model was very close to the observed incidence. The fit was sensitive to daily mosquito survival and daily human parasite clearance. In Nouna province, effective interventions to prevent malaria should not be confined to the rainy season but must continue throughout the year. The focus should be on the clearance of parasitaemias, by the use of effective drugs, and on decreasing vector survival, by the use of vector-control methods.

T1  - Attributing Effects of Aqueous C sub(60) Nano-Aggregates to Tetrahydrofuran Decomposition Products in Larval Zebrafish by Assessment of Gene Expression
AN  - 14826840; 10718861
AB  - Various issues related to attributing effects of aqueous C sub(60) nano-aggregates to tetrahydrofuran decomposition products in larval zebrafish by assessment of gene expression were examined. The greatest differences in gene expression were observed in fish exposed to THF-C sub(60) and most of these genes were similarly expressed in fish exposed to THF-water. Significant up-regulation of genes involved in controlling oxidative damage was observed after exposure to THF-C sub(60)and THF-water. Analyses of THF-C sub(60) and THF-water by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry did not detect THF but found THF oxidation products gamma -butyrolactone and tetrahydro-2-furanol. Toxicity of gamma -butyrolactone indicated effects in THF treatments could result from gamma -butyrolactone toxicity.

T1  - Ambient Air Pollution and Low Birth Weight in Connecticut and Massachusetts
AN  - 14823861; 10718870
AB  - Various issues related to the ambient air pollution and low birth weight in Connecticut and Massachusetts were analyzed. An interquartile increase in gestational exposure to NO sub(2), CO, PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5) lowered birth eight by 8.9 g, 16.2 g, 8.2 g and 14.7 g, respectively. It was observed that the lower birth weight was associated with exposure in the third trimester for PM sub(2.5). Effect estimates for PM sub(2.5) were higher for infants of black mothers than those of white mothers. Results indicated exposure to air pollution, even at low levels, might increase risk of low birth weight, particularly for some segments of the population.

T1  - Spatial and Temporal Variation in PM sub(2.5) Chemical Composition in the United States for Health Effects Studies
AN  - 14823808; 10718850
AB  - Spatial and temporal variation in PM sub(2.5) chemical composition for health effects studies in the United States was analyzed. Strong seasonal and geographical variations in PM sub(2.5) chemical composition were identified. Stronger correlations were observed with PM sub(2.5) total mass were with NH super(+) sub(4), organic carbon matter (OCM), NO super(-) sub(3) and SO super(2-) sub(4) in summer. Components that co-varied with PM sub(2.5) total mass, based on daily detrended data were namely, NH super(+) sub(4), NH super(+) sub(4), OCM, SO super(2-) sub(4), bromine, and EC. The subset of identified PM sub(2.5) components should be investigated further to determine whether their daily variation was associated with daily variation of health indicators, and whether their seasonal and regional patterns could explain the seasonal and regional heterogeneity in PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5) health risks.

T1  - Routing Out Invasive Species Lessons from Down Under
AN  - 14823745; 10718848
AB  - Various issues related to the invasive species are discussed. Although Australia and New Zealand are highly urbanized societies, their economies feature a significant agricultural sector that is exceptionally vulnerable to the ravages of invasive species. Other invasive species may have even more direct implications for human health. Government policies and academic institutions regulatory adopt a unique focus on the way in which plants animals cross national boundaries, a perspective that might look down right xenophobic. The evaluation of eradication program is dependent on information gained through monitoring, and the degree of confidence that can be placed in an evaluation procedure is a function of the reliability of the observations upon which the procedure is based.

AB  - Blood metallothionein (MT) transcripts in arsenicosis patients from Guizhou, China were analyzed. Blood and buccal cell samples were collected from arsenicosis patients and healthy subjects residing in Guizhou, China and total RNA was isolated for MT transcript analysis. A positive correlation also occurred between human blood MT and buccal blood and buccal cells, and significantly lower MT levels were seen in arsenicosis patients compared with healthy subjects. Blood MT transcript appeared to be a useful biomarker of tissue MT levels. Arsenicosis, patients in Guizhou showed significantly lower MT transcript levels in blood, which might have predisposed the population to arsenic intoxication.

VRBs most toxic component is the sulfuric acid of the electrolyte, which is only one-third as acidic as that in a lead-acid batteries. But unlike lead-acid batteries, the electrolytes in a VRB function indefinitely, eliminating the disposal problem. Developing a sufficiently energy dense flow battery would solve the problem of how long it takes to recharge currently available batteries for electric vehicles. At current prices, wind can contribute more than 30% of all electrical consumption in Ireland. The company is focused on remote off-grid power supplies that are currently diesel-based, where the ability to cut diesel consumption makes storage financially appealing.

T1  - Interaction Effects of Ultrafine Carbon Black with Iron and Nickel on Heart Rate Variability in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
AN  - 14822002; 10718854
AB  - Interaction effects of ultrafine carbon black with iron and nickel on hear rate variability in spontaneously hypertensive rats were examined. Radiotelemetry data were collected in rats for 72 hr at base line and for 72 hr the following week to determine the response to exposure. Effects of exposure on 5 min average of normal-to-normal intervals (LnSDNN), and root mean square of successive differences of adjacent normal-to-normal intervals (LnRMSSD) were analyzed using self-control experimental designs. Both high- and low-dose ufCB decreased ANNN marginally around hour 30, with concurrent increases of LnSDNN. Combined exposures of ufCB and either Fe or Ni resulted in HRV trends different from values estimated from individual-component effects.

T1  - Chimney Stove Intervention to Reduce Long-Term Wood Smoke Exposure Lowers Blood Pressure Among Guatemalan Women
AN  - 14821986; 10718851
AB  - Chimney stove intervention to reduce long-term wood smoke exposure lowering blood pressure among Guatemalan women was examined. Daily average PM sub(2.5) exposures were 264 and 102 mu g/m super(3) in the control and intervention groups, respectively. After adjusting for age, body mass index, an asset index, smoking, secondhand tobacco smoke, apparent temperature, season, day of week, time of day, a random subject intercept, the improved stove intervention was associated with 3.7 mm Hg lower SBP and 3.0 mm Hg lower DBP compared with controls. The between-group comparisons provide evidence, particularly for DBP, that the chimney stove reduces blood pressures, and the before-and-after comparisons are consistent with the evidence.

T1  - Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Metabolites May Alter Thyroid Hormone Levels in Men
AN  - 14821670; 10718856
AB  - Potential relations between biological markers of phthalate exposure and levels of T sub(4), T sub(3) and thyroid-stimulating hormone in adult men were analyzed. Concurrent samples of urine and blood were collected from 408 men. Oxidative metabolites of DEHP were measured in urine from only 208 of the men. An inverse association between MEHP urinary concentrations and free T sub(4) and T sub(3) serum levels was found, although the relationships did not appear to be linear when MEHP concentrations were categorized by quintiles. Urinary MEHP concentrations might be associated with altered free T sub(4) and/or total T sub(3) levels in adult men, but additional study is needed to confirm the observed findings.

AB  - Various issues related to the elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in children living in the e-waste recycling town of Guiyu with those living in the neighboring town of Chendian were presented. Hemoglobin ad physical indexes were also measured. BLLs in 165 children of Guiyu ranged from 4.40 to 32.67 mu g/dL with a mean of 15.3 mu g/dL, whereas BLLs in 61 children of Chendian were from 4.09 to 23.10 mu g/dL with a mean of 9.94 mu g/dL. Statistical analyses showed that children living in Guiyu, 81.8% had BLLs > 10 mu g/dL, compared with 37.7% of children in Chendian. No significant difference in Hgb level of physical indexes was found between the two towns. The primitive e-waste recycling activities might contribute to the elevated BLLs in children living in Guiyu.

T1  - The Persistence of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Campylobacter in Poultry Production
AN  - 14821321; 10718857
AB  - The persistence of fluoroquinolone-resistant campylobacter in poultry production was presented. Poultry samples from two conventional producers and three antibiotic-free producers over the course of 20 weeks in 2004 and 15 weeks in 2006 were collected. The rates of fluoroquinolone resistance among Campylobcater isolates from the different producers were compared. No significant change in the proportion of fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylabcater strains from the two conventional producers was found. The results indicated that fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylabcater might be persistent contaminants of poultry even after on-farm fluoroquinolone use has ceased. The FDA's ban on fluoroquinolones in poultry production might be insufficient to reduce resistant Campylabcater in poultry products.

T1  - Antibiotic-Resistant Enterococci and Fecal Indicators in Surface Water and Groundwater Impacted by a Concentrated Swine Feeding Operation
AN  - 14820835; 10718858
AB  - Surface water and groundwater situated up and down gradient from a swine facility for antibiotic-resistant enterococci and other fecal indicators were analyzed. Fecal indicators were isolated by membrane filtration, and enterococci were tested for susceptibility to erythromycin, tetracycline, clindamycin, virginiamycin, and vancomycin. Median concentrations of enterococci, fecal coliforms, and Escherichia coli were 4 to 33-fold higher in down-gradient versus up-gradient surface water and groundwater. Elevated levels of fecal indicators and anti-biotic-resistant enterococci in water sources situated down gradient from a swine facility compared with up-gradient sources were detected. The findings provided additional evidence that water contaminated with swine manure could contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance.

T1  - Air Pollution and Inflammation (Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein, Fibrinogen) in Myocardial Infarction Survivors
AN  - 14820366; 10718863
AB  - Air pollution and inflammation in myocardial infarction survivors were analyzed. A prospective longitudinal study of 1,003 MI survivors was performed in six European cities between May 2003 and July 2004. City-specific confounder models were built for each blood marker separately, adjusting for meteorology and time-varying and time-variant covariates. Data were analyzed with mixed-effects models. Pooled results showed an increase in IL-6 when concentrations of PNC were elevated 12-17 hr before blood withdrawal. Results remained stable for smokers, diabetics, and patients with heart failure. No consistent associations were found for C-reactive protein (CRP). Results indicated an immediate response to particle number concentrations (PNC) on the IL-6 level, possibly leading to the production of acute-phase proteins as seen in increased fibrinogen levels.

T1  - Association Between Manganese Exposure Through Drinking Water and Infant Mortality in Bangladesh
AN  - 14815142; 10718868
AB  - Association between manganese exposure through drinking water and infant mortality in Bangladesh was presented. The current analysis was based on the portion of these infants with recorded exposure and outcome status, 335 of who died before reaching 1 year of age. Infants exposed to water manganese greater than or equal to the 2003 World Health Organization standard of 0.4 mg/KL had an elevated mortality risk during the first year of life compared with unexposed infants. Adjustment for water arsenic, indictors of social class, and other variable did not appreciably alter these results. When the population was restricted to infants born to recently married parents, this elevation was more pronounced. The results indicated a possible association between manganese exposure and infant mortality.

T1  - Measurement of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Metabolites in Mouse Plasma After Exposure to a Commercial Pentabromodiphenyl Ether Mixture
AN  - 14815039; 10718860
AB  - Measurement of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and metabolites in mouse plasma after exposure to a commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether mixture, was presented. Samples were extracted, separated into neutral ad phenolic fractions, and analyzed by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. The hydroxylated (HO)-PBDEs might come from hydroxylation or debromination/hydroxylation. Among the quantified hydroxylated metabolites, the most abundant was 4-HO-2,2',3,4'-tetra-BDE, which suggested hydroxylated metabolites, the most abundant was 4-HO-2,2',3,4'-tetra-BDE, which suggested that there was a bromine shift during the hydroxylation process. The cleavage of the diphenyl ether body formed bromophenols, and the other two pathways formed hydroxylated PBDEs, of which para-HO- PBDEs were most likely formed from BDE-47.

T1  - Effects of inoculum concentration, temperature, plant age and interrupted wetness on infection of lentil (Lens culinaris) by Botrytis spp. conidia
AN  - 1034830713; 17060768
AB  - Greenhouse experiments confirmed that both Botrytis cinerea and B. fabae could infect lentil and cause Botrytis grey mould symptoms. Experiments were conducted under controlled environments to determine the effects of temperature, leaf wetness duration, plant age and inoculum concentration on infection of lentil by B. cinerea. Optimum conditions for infection and sporulation were defined at 15-25 degree C, with limited sporulation at 10 degree C but no sporulation at 5 degree C or 30 degree C. Sporulation occurred 6-7 days after inoculation when leaf wetness was constantly maintained using humidity tents. Absence of leaf wetness for up to 4 weeks following inoculation did not reduce the disease severity, but reduced the time to sporulation to 3 days after leaf wetness was returned. Increasing the age at which plants were inoculated, from 6 to 18 weeks, had no significant effect on disease severity. Senescent and mature plant material acted as a focus for infection and sporulation. Increasing inoculum concentration from 510 super(4) conidia/mL to 510 super(6) conidia/mL significantly increased the number of plants infected, independent of genotype resistance. No disease developed at the lowest concentration of 510 super(2) conidia/mL.

T1  - Leek diseases in Australia
AN  - 1034830712; 17060767
AB  - Between 2000 and 2003 over 100 leek plantings and two nurseries in four states were surveyed to determine the most significant disease problems of leeks in Australia. Four diseases were identified causing economic loss: Fusarium foot rot (caused by one of four Fusarium species), bacterial blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri), leaf blight (Stemphylium sp.) and purple blotch (Alternaria porri). Other diseases detected but not of major importance included pink root (Pyrenochaeta terrestris), smudge (Colletotrichum circinans), Botrytis leaf spot (Botrytis cinerea), downy mildew (Peronospora destructor), Leek yellow stripe virus, Shallot latent virus and Onion yellow dwarf virus. Parasitic nematodes recovered from leek soil included Paratrichodorus sp. (stubby root), Pratylenchus sp. (root lesion), Ditylenchus sp. (stem and bulb) and Scutellonema sp. (spiral nematode). The physiological disorder, oedema, caused cosmetic damage in some seasons.

AN  - 1034828881; 17060756
AB  - A total of 411 grapevine genotypes were screened in vitro for resistance to the rust pathogen Phakopsora euvitis. They included both rootstock and hybrid selections from 14 different Vitis species, principally V. vinifera. The majority tested were susceptible or highly susceptible. Not one was asymptomatic. The interspecific hybrid selections '41B' and 'Seibel 128' (both rootstocks) and 'Aurore' showed the highest level of resistance to the pathogen.

T1  - Tuber soft rot and concentrations of Erwinia spp. in potato washing plants in South Australia
AN  - 1034828877; 17060755
AB  - Potato tubers and water samples from four washing plants in South Australia were collected on multiple occasions between 1998 and 2002 to determine the main source of bacterial soft rot infection on tubers and the level of Erwinia spp. in wash water. Incubating tubers in an environment conducive to soft rot showed that an average of 26% of tubers collected from the field developed soft rot. This increased to 64% or more when tubers were immersed in water. The incidence and severity of soft rot increased further after tubers were placed in a rotating tumbler to remove adhering soil. Concentrations of Erwinia spp. around 10 super(4) colony forming units (cfu)/mL and occasionally 10 super(6) cfu/mL were found in wash water collected at various sites in the washing plant and from ponded recycled water. The most severe amount of rotting developed when tubers were immersed in Erwinia spp. concentrations of 10 super(4) cfu/mL or greater, suggesting that frequent replacing of potato wash water with clean water to reduce the levels of bacteria may be a useful method of managing the problem.

T1  - Firewood value assessment: A comparison on local preference and wood constituent properties of species from a trekking corridor, West Sikkim, India
AN  - 19772765; 7590543
AB  - Local people's preference scores for firewood species were studied through pair-wise ranking tools of Participatory Rural Appraisal technique from Yuksam-Dzongri trekking trail, Sikkim, India. A wide variety of plant species used as firewood was enlisted. These woody tree species with potential firewood use value were analysed for their Firewood Value Index (FVI) considering energy value, density, moisture content and ash content. The local people's preference scores and the constituent properties were then compared with 17 widely used firewood species using Pearson correlation and multiple regressions. Quercus spp. and Rhododendron spp. were the most desirable firewood according to their high ranks in local preference scores as well as FVI compared to other species. Local people's preference ranking energy and ash contents were vital constituents for determination of firewood quality. Local knowledge and scientific assessment closely matched to each other emphasizing that highly preferred species by the communities invariably showed better firewood value. However, there were some disparities when people's perception in relation to availability of species and convenience was considered. The local knowledge could be a good tool for species selection in forestry programmes.

T1  - Simulations of agents in social networks harvesting a resource
AN  - 19703728; 7498029
AB  - Managing natural resources increasingly requires an understanding not only of the underlying resource dynamics but also the dynamics of human use. In an agent-based model, we simulate agents harvesting a renewable resource, and examine the effect of agents in different social networks on their ability to exploit the resource under different levels of uncertainty. When uncertainty in the resource is high, under assumed conditions, ordered social networks can exploit the resources better by passing information among the agents than when individuals act independently of each other. The more highly connected random networks, however, leads to lower aggregate harvests. When a single ''skilled'' agent is able to obtain a greater harvest than the others, a hierarchical performance among agents results, with those connected directly to the ''skilled'' agent obtaining higher harvests than those that are not.

T1  - Educational Outcomes of Children on Guardianship or Custody Orders: A Pilot Study. Child Welfare Series. Number 42
AN  - 815956127; ED512577
AB  - This report provides a snapshot of the academic performance, as assessed by literacy and numeracy test scores, of children on guardianship or custody orders in 2003. The educational performance of these children are compared with all children sitting these tests, and differences in academic performance between particular subgroups of children on guardianship/custody orders are also examined. This pilot project involved interdepartmental linkage (education and community services departments) of administrative data across multiple jurisdictions-the first Australian study in this field to have done so. Appendices include: (1) The child protection process in Australia; (2) Data quality; (3) Statistical methodology; (4) Detailed tables; and (5) Initiatives to improve educational outcomes. (Contains 20 tables and 3 figures.) [This study was published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and was funded by the Community and Disability Services Ministers' Advisory Council (CDSMAC).]

T1  - Report on Marketing Practices in the Federal Family Education Loan Program
AN  - 62045425; ED497127
AB  - This report was prepared by the Chairman's Staff of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee setting forth the findings of an investigation into marketing practices in the Federal Family Education Loan program ("FFEL"). Evidence uncovered by the Chairman's investigation demonstrates that many FFEL lenders routinely engage in marketing practices that violate the letter and spirit of the inducement prohibition of the Higher Education Act. Given the breadth of the evidence presented in this report it is clear that the problem is systemic and cannot be isolated to a few "problem" lenders or schools. The report addresses a discrete set of marketing practices including: (1) Some FFEL lenders provided compensation to schools with the expectation, and in some cases an explicit agreement, that the school will give the lenders preferential treatment, including placement on the school's preferred lender list; (2) Other FFEL lenders spent large sums on travel and accommodation expenses for meetings of Advisory Boards comprised of school officials, and often expected these benefits to yield increased loan volume, or other preferential treatment, at Board members' schools; (3) School officials held financial interests, including stock and options to purchase stock, in FFEL lenders which are on the preferred lender list or are otherwise recommended to students; and (4) School officials received payments for consulting and other services from FFEL lenders which are on the preferred lender list or are otherwise recommended to students.

T1  - Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry2Ab in a strain of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia.
AN  - 70662805; 17598553
AB  - Transgenic cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., expressing the crylAc and cry2Ab genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner variety kurstaki in a pyramid (Bollgard II) was widely planted for the first time in Australia during the 2004-2005 growing season. Before the first commercial Bollgard II crops, limited amounts of cotton expressing only the crylAc gene (Ingard) was grown for seven seasons. No field failures due to resistance to CrylAc toxin were observed during that period and a monitoring program indicated that the frequency of genes conferring high level resistance to the CrylAc toxin were rare in the major pest of cotton, Helicoverpa armigera (Htibner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Before the deployment of Bollgard II, an allele conferring resistance to Cry2Ab toxin was detected in field-collected H. armigera. We established a colony (designated SP15) consisting of homozygous resistant individuals and examined their characteristics through comparison with individuals from a Bt-susceptible laboratory colony (GR). Through specific crosses and bioassays, we established that the resistance present in SP15 was due to a single autosomal gene. The resistance was recessive. Homozygotes were highly resistant to Cry2Ab toxin, so much so, that we were unable to induce significant mortality at the maximum concentration of toxin available. Homozygotes also were unaffected when fed leaves of a cotton variety expressing the cry2Ab gene. Although cross-resistant to Cry2Aa toxin, SP15 was susceptible to CrylAc and to the Bt product DiPel.

T1  - Reduced terpene levels in cottonseed add food to fiber.
AN  - 70537166; 17433845
AB  - Using RNA interference (RNAi) technology, the levels of a toxic phytoprotectant have recently been reduced specifically in the seeds of cotton to generate a novel dual-purpose crop. By engineering an endogenous terpene pathway, there is now the exciting potential for an added-value, genetically modified crop with the cash value of the fiber supported by the improved nutritional value and expanded food and feed use for the cottonseed, which is normally a low-value by-product.

T1  - Comparative assessment of four drug interaction compendia.
AN  - 70517857; 17166171
AB  - To assess the consistency of inclusion and grading of major drug interactions for 50 drugs in four leading international drug interaction compendia. METHODS Four international drug interaction compendia were compared: the drug interactions appendix of the British National Formulary, the interaction supplement in the French drug compendium Vidal, and two US drug interaction compendia, Drug Interaction Facts and the Micromedex (Drug-Reax) program. Major interactions were defined as potentially hazardous in BNF or with the warning 'contraindication' or 'avoid' in Vidal or with the significance grading 1 or 2 in DIF. Major interactions for a list of 50 drugs were searched in all four compendia.
          A total of 1264 interactions meeting the inclusion criteria were identified for these 50 drugs. After deletion of 169 duplicates, 1095 interactions were included in the analysis. Of the drug interactions classified as major in any one compendium between 14% and 44% were not listed in the other compendia. The grading systems used for the severity and the quality of the supporting evidence in Micromedex and DIF were inconsistent. There is a lack of consistency in the inclusion and grading of drug interactions of major significance for 50 drugs across the four drug compendia examined. This may reflect the lack of standardization of the terminology used to classify drug interactions and the lack of good epidemiological evidence on which to base the assessment of the clinical relevance of drug interactions.

T1  - Pesticide use knowledge and practices: a gender differences in Nepal.
AN  - 70473225; 17303108
AB  - It is important to understand gender difference on pesticide use knowledge, attitude and practices for identifying pesticide risks by gender and to recommend more gender-sensitive programs. However, very few studies have been conducted so far in Nepal. This study, thus, interviewed a total of 325 males and 109 females during 2005 to assess gender differences on pesticide use knowledge, attitude and practices. More than 50% females had never been to school and only <8% individuals were found trained in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Almost all males and females did not smoke, drink and eat during pesticides application and also believed that pesticides are harmful to human health, livestock, plant diversity and their environment. However, there were gender differences on household decision on pesticides to be used (p<0.001), care of wind direction during spraying (p=0.032), prior knowledge on safety measures (p=0.016), reading and understanding of pesticides labels (p<0.001), awareness of the labels (p<0.001) and protective covers. Almost all respondents were aware of negative impacts of pesticide use on human health and environment irrespective of gender; however, females were at higher risk due to lower level of pesticide use safety and awareness. It is strongly recommended to initiate gender-sensitive educational and awareness activities, especially on pesticide use practices and safety precautions.

T1  - Analytical development for analysis of pharmaceuticals in water samples by SPE and GC-MS.
AN  - 70459569; 17443314
AB  - An analytical procedure involving solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed for determination of pharmaceutical compounds (aspirin, caffeine, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ketoprofen, naproxen, ibuprofen, clofibrate, clofibric acid, and gemfibrozil) in a variety of aqueous samples (wastewater and surface water). After filtration, samples were extracted and concentrated using C(18) or HLB cartridges, depending on the type of compound. Sample storage conditions were checked and optimized to ensure preservation of the pharmaceutical substance, taking into consideration environmental sampling conditions. For most of the pharmaceuticals monitored, recovery was in the range 53 to 99% and the variability was below 15% for the complete procedure, with limits of detection ranging from 0.4 to 2.5 ng L(-1), depending on the compound. The methods were successfully applied to monitoring of pharmaceutical contamination of the Seine estuary. Concentrations varied from several dozens of nanograms per liter for surface waters to several hundreds of nanograms per liter for wastewaters.

T1  - Introduction of routine zinc therapy for children with diarrhoea: evaluation of safety.
AN  - 68484601; 17985814
AB  - On 8 May 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) recommended routine administration of zinc in the management of children, aged less than five years, with acute diarrhoea. In making the recommendation, WHO and UNICEF also suggested careful monitoring for adverse events associated with routine administration of zinc, particularly unusual or excess vomiting. The study assessed, in a phase IV trial, i.e. post-marketing surveillance of zinc, the occurrence of adverse events during the first hour after the administration of the first dose of zinc in children with acute or persistent diarrhoea. The study was conducted at the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR,B and at an outpatient clinic operated by a local health NGO-Progoti Samaj Kallyan Protisthan (PSKP), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Eligible children, aged 3-59 months, were treated with 20 mg of zinc sulphate provided in a dispersible tablet formulation. The children were observed for 60 minutes following the initial treatment with zinc for adverse events, with particular attention given to vomiting or regurgitation. During the one-year observation period, 42,440 children (male 57% and female 43%) received zinc, and 20,246 (47.8%) of them were observed. Regurgitation and/or vomiting occurred in 4,392 (21.8%) of the children; 90.8% of these children had vomiting only once, 8.7% twice, and 0.5% more than twice. No children revisited the hospital for recurrent vomiting following their discharge. A significant proportion of infants and children may experience vomiting or regurgitation, usually once, following the administration of the first dose of zinc. This is a transient phenomenon that did not impact on continuation of treatment with zinc.

T1  - Factors That Promote and Prevent Exercise Engagement in Older Adults
AN  - 61420397; 200800718
AB  - Objective: This study aimed to (a) identify factors that motivate or prevent older Australians from exercising; (b) determine how these factors differ as a function of age, gender, and exercise level; and (c) examine how they relate to intentions to exercise in the future. Method: In all, 217 older adults (aged 63 to 86) completed a questionnaire in their own home. Participants rated various motivators and barriers to exercise and indicated future intention to exercise. Results: Health concerns were the strongest motivators to exercise, whereas physical ailments were the most common barrier to exercise. Older Australians were fairly motivated to exercise and experienced few barriers to exercise. Age, gender, and exercise level differentiated between reported motivators and barriers, which in turn were associated with future intentions to exercise. Discussion: Reasons that promote and prevent exercise engagement are quite varied and depend on personal factors. Exercise intervention programs for older adults should incorporate these factors.

T1  - Balancing technical and social participation.
AN  - 57661285; 00504450
AB  - Discusses the concept of dynamic, participatory libraries, citing iTunes as an example. There are three technical reasons why iTunes music sharing seems magical, allowing one to see and listen to the music on a neighbor's computer as easily as clicking on their own. First, because all the computers use iTunes and because the variety of music file formats involved is minimal, it is not complicated to extract and share metadata across all of these machines. Second, iTunes uses a brilliant network-discovery protocol developed by Apple called Zeroconf, which lets software and devices on the network find each other using techniques similar to the ones a computer uses when one types a Web address into a browser and clicks "go". The third reason is more subtle, and it gets to why applying these kinds of solutions in libraries is often harder than might be expected. (Quotes from original text)

T1  - Himalayan snow chemistry: Chemical composition of fresh snow samples from Kashmir valley
AN  - 21234378; 11664289
AB  - The present paper deals with variability in snow chemistry of various sites spread in six districts of the Kashmir Himalayan valley, experiencing frequent snow fall during winter (Dec.-Feb). Chemical composition of fresh snow samples shows wide changes in pH (5.8-7.3), dissolved oxygen content (22-26 mg L-1), and total alkalinity (2-3 mg L-1). The levels (mg L-1) of calcium (13.3-28), magnesium (8-12), chloride (15-30), sulphate (2-8), silicate (1-4) and nitrate (1.9-3.9) differed considerably. The study makes a strong plea for in-depth investigations of snow chemistry of little-explored Himalayan region, useful for assessing the impact of environmental pollution.

T1  - Concentrations of Urinary Phthalate Metabolites Are Associated with Increased Waist Circumference and Insulin Resistance in Adult U.S. Males
AN  - 21183790; 11408707
AB  - BACKGROUND: Phthalates impair rodent testicular function and have been associated with anti-androgenic effects in humans, including decreased testosterone levels. Low testosterone in adult human males has been associated with increased prevalence of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. OBJECTIVES: Our objective in this study was to investigate phthalate exposure and its associations with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. METHODS: Subjects were adult U.S. male participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2002. We modeled six phthalate metabolites with prevalent exposure and known or suspected antiandrogenic activity as predictors of waist circumference and log-transformed homeostatic model assessment (HOMA; a measure of insulin resistance) using multiple linear regression, adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, fat and total calorie consumption, physical activity level, serum cotinine, and urine creatinine (model 1); and adjusted for model 1 covariates plus measures of renal and hepatic function (model 2). Metabolites were mono-butyl phthalates (MBP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-(2-ethyl)-hexyl phthalate (MEHP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), and mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP). RESULTS: In model 1, four metabolites were associated with increased waist circumference (MBzP, MEHHP, MEOHP, and MEP; p-values /= 0.013) and three with increased HOMA (MBP, MBzP, and MEP; p-values /= 0.011). When we also adjusted for renal and hepatic function, parameter estimates declined but all significant results remained so except HOMA-MBP. CONCLUSIONS: In this national cross-section of U.S. men, concentrations of several prevalent phthalate metabolites showed statistically significant correlations with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. If confirmed by longitudinal studies, our findings would suggest that exposure to these phthalates may contribute to the population burden of obesity, insulin resistance, and related clinical disorders.

T1  - Public perceptions of New Zealand freshwater and its management - reconciling the science and management implications
AN  - 21177289; 11401761
AB  - Responses from nationwide mail surveys are analysed to identify how New Zealanders assess the state of New Zealand lakes, rivers and streams, as well as perceived pressures on, and quality of management of, freshwater resources. In doing so, we identify significant differences between opinions of different demographic groupings. We then compare these perceptions with the state of freshwater in New Zealand based on biophysical scientific monitoring. Generally, public perception is consistent with biophysical scientific monitoring, suggesting perception surveys can be seen as a useful barometer of environmental performance. Research and management implications from these findings are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

T1  - Dietary Arsenic Exposure in Bangladesh
AN  - 21175698; 11408705
AB  - BACKGROUND: Millions of people in Bangladesh are at risk of chronic arsenic toxicity from drinking contaminated groundwater, but little is known about diet as an additional source of As exposure. METHODS: We employed a duplicate diet survey to quantify daily As intake in 47 women residing in Pabna, Bangladesh. All samples were analyzed for total As, and a subset of 35 samples were measured for inorganic arsenic (iAs) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry equipped with a dynamic reaction cell. RESULTS: Median daily total As intake was 48 microg As/day [interquartile range (IQR), 33-67) from food and 4 microg As/day (IQR, 2-152) from drinking water. On average, iAs comprised 82% of the total As detected in dietary samples. After adjusting for the estimated inorganic fraction, 34% [95% confidence interval (CI), 21-49%] of all participants exceeded the World Health Organization's provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) of 2.1 microg As/kg-day. Two of the 33 women who used a well with 50 microg As/L exceeded this recommendation. CONCLUSIONS: When drinking water concentrations exceeded the Bangladesh drinking water standard of 50 microg As/L, ingested water was the dominant source of exposure. However, as drinking water As concentrations decrease, the relative contribution of dietary As sources becomes more important to ingested dose. The combined intake from both diet and drinking water can cause some individuals to exceed the PTDI in spite of using a tube well that contains 50 microg As/L.

T1  - Lead Levels and Ischemic Heart Disease in a Prospective Study of Middle-Aged and Elderly Men: the VA Normative Aging Study
AN  - 21169777; 11408708
AB  - BACKGROUND: Lead exposure has been associated with higher blood pressure, hypertension, electrocardiogram abnormalities, and increased mortality from circulatory causes. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association between bone lead-a more accurate biomarker of chronic lead exposure than blood lead-and risk for future ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS: In a prospective cohort study (VA Normative Aging Study), 837 men who underwent blood or bone lead measurements at baseline were followed-up for an ischemic heart disease event between 1 September 1991 and 31 December 2001. IHD was defined as either a diagnosis of myocardial infarction or angina pectoris that was confirmed by a cardiologist. Events of fatal myocardial infarction were assessed from death certificates. RESULTS: An IHD event occurred in 83 cases (70 nonfatal and 13 fatal). The mean blood, tibia, and patella lead levels were higher in IHD cases than in noncases. In multivariate Cox-proportional hazards models, one standard deviation increase in blood lead level was associated with a 1.27 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.59) fold greater risk for ischemic heart disease. Similarly, a one standard deviation increase in patella and tibia lead levels was associated with greater risk for IHD (hazard ratio for patella lead = 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.62). CONCLUSIONS: Men with increased blood and bone lead levels were at increased risk for future IHD. Although the pathogenesis of IHD is multifactorial, lead exposure may be one of the risk factors.

T1  - Population dynamics and responses to management of plateau pikas Ochotona curzoniae
AN  - 20585090; 7995459
AB  - Plateau pikas Ochotona curzoniae are considered a pest species on the Tibetan Plateau because they compete with livestock for forage and their burrowing could contribute to soil erosion. The effectiveness of pest control programmes in Tibet has not been measured, and it is not known whether changes in livestock management have exacerbated problems with plateau pikas or compromised their control. This study measured the impact of control programmes and livestock management for forage conservation on populations of plateau pikas in alpine meadow in Naqu District, central Tibet, during 2004 and 2005.Current techniques for controlling plateau pikas in spring cause large reductions in abundance, but high density-dependent rates of increase result in no differences between treated and untreated populations by the following autumn. Rates of increase from spring to autumn are not influenced by standing plant biomass or concurrent grazing by yaks Bos grunniens and Tibetan sheep Ovis aries.In autumn there was significantly lower biomass outside fenced areas with year-round livestock grazing compared with inside fenced areas with equivalent or higher numbers of plateau pikas but predominantly winter grazing by livestock. Inside fenced areas, control of plateau pikas in spring produced no detectable effect on standing plant biomass at the end of the following summer compared with uncontrolled populations of plateau pikas.Regardless of their initial density, populations of plateau pikas declined rapidly over winter outside fenced areas where there was very low standing plant biomass in autumn. However, inside fenced areas with higher plant biomass in autumn, low-density populations of plateau pikas declined more slowly than high-density populations.Synthesis and applications. Current control programmes have limited effect because populations of plateau pikas can recover in one breeding season. There was no apparent increase in forage production in areas where plateau pikas were controlled. However, plateau pikas appear to benefit from changes in grazing management, with low-density populations declining less over winter inside fenced areas than elsewhere. It was not evident that control programmes are warranted or that they will improve the livelihoods of Tibetan herders.

T1  - Living with HIV But Without Medical Care: Barriers to Engagement
AN  - 20518955; 8025045
AB  - This cross-sectional study examined factors associated with the receipt of HIV medical care among people who know their HIV status and are not newly diagnosed with HIV. Interviews were conducted with 1133 HIV-positive individuals between October 2003 and July 2005 who enrolled in 1 of 10 outreach programs across the country. The sample was predominantly non-white (86%), male (59%), and unstably housed (61%), with a past history of cocaine use (68%). Twelve percent had received no HIV medical care in the 6 months prior to the interview. Those with no care were similar to those who received some HIV care in sociodemographic characteristics, but in multivariate analysis were less likely to have a case manager (p < 0.001) or use mental health services (p < .001), had lower mental health status scores (p < 0.05), were more likely to be active drug users (p < 0.01), had greater unmet support service needs (p < 0.05) and reported that health beliefs were a barrier to care (p < 0.001). Interventions to engage people in HIV medical care need to address barriers to care through linkages with mental health, substance abuse treatment and support services, and address the health beliefs that deter people from seeking care.

T1  - Determination of Surrogate Indicators for Phosphorus and Solids in Urban Stormwater: Application of Multivariate Data Analysis Techniques
AN  - 20470626; 7467974
AB  - Solids and phosphorus found within urban stormwater have the potential to cause environmental damage to ecological systems in receiving waters. The evaluation of these pollutants in urban stormwater is usually undertaken by physico-chemical monitoring programs which sample streamflow for laboratory assessment. In this study, data from two such monitoring programs have been examined for the catchment characteristics which influence solids and phosphorus discharge behaviour and the potential for the use of surrogate indicators to predict streamflow concentrations. The study involved partitioning of the components on the basis of the dissolved and particulate fractions. Investigation of the physical and chemical behaviour of solids and phosphorus by univariate and multivariate data analysis techniques led to the identification of interrelationships among the measured parameters. Thus, using turbidity and conductivity, relationships were developed for suspended and dissolved solids. Similarly, relationships were developed for dissolved and particulate phosphorus using suspended and dissolved solids. These relationships have the potential to enhance rapid generation of vital information from site-based measurements and to reduce the requirements for laboratory-based analysis of indicator concentrations in urban stormwater.

T1  - Effects of Novel and Historic Predator Urines on Semi-Wild Western Grey Kangaroos
AN  - 20418486; 7784293
AB  - Classic studies in fear ecology have been inconclusive regarding whether predator waste products repel herbivores and whether the deterrent effect, if any, is based on repulsion or fear. Other studies imply that the predator must have co-evolved with prey to maximize the efficacy of response. We used chemosensory cues from the urine of native and nonnative canines to manipulate the behavior of the western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus). One-choice feeding trials were located along a distance gradient, and administered to 28 free-ranging, semi-wild, western grey kangaroos. Foods closer to the chemical source (within 12 m) were less likely to be eaten than those further from the source when the urine came from a native predator, the dingo (Canis dingo). Flight behavior was more likely to be observed on occasions when the dingo urine had been presented. A lesser effect occurred (to within 6 m) when urine was presented from the nonnative canid (coyote � Canis latrans� ), while the flight behavior occurred once. Neither human urine, nor tap-water control, had any effect. We offer the first evidence that native predator-based chemical cues affect patch selection, while increasing fear, for this herbivore.

T1  - Multi-channel statistical analysis of combustion aerosols. Part II
AN  - 20357364; 7496450
AB  - This paper develops a new method of statistical analysis of interaction and transformation between different modes in the particle size distribution in atmospheric aerosols in the presence of strong stochastic fluctuations of the environmental and meteorological parameters. Fast processes of mode transformation are investigated in combustion aerosols near a busy road on the basis of the fragmentation mechanism of particle evolution. A unique anti-symmetric correlation pattern between different modes is described and explained by means of the formulated fragmentation theorem. This provides yet another confirmation of the fragmentation mechanisms of aerosol evolution.

T1  - Multi-channel statistical analysis of combustion aerosols. Part I: Canonical correlations and sources of particle modes
AN  - 20349686; 7496449
AB  - A major problem with the analysis and investigation of combustion aerosols in the real-world environment is related to strong stochastic variations of the external and environmental parameters and factors (e.g., atmospheric turbulence, traffic fluctuations, etc.). Therefore, this paper develops new powerful statistical methods based on the canonical correlation analysis and the moving average technique, applied to combustion aerosols near a busy road. As a result, a new physical insight into the evolution of combustion aerosols and possible sources of nano-particle modes is presented and discussed. Several new particle modes are identified, analysed and associated either with trucks or cars on the road. In particular, liquid and solid particle modes are identified, and the mechanism of thermal fragmentation of solid nano-particles is used for the interpretation of the obtained results.

T1  - Classification based upon gene expression data: bias and precision of error rates
AN  - 19967911; 7460593
AB  - MOTIVATION: Gene expression data offer a large number of potentially useful predictors for the classification of tissue samples into classes, such as diseased and non-diseased. The predictive error rate of classifiers can be estimated using methods such as cross-validation. We have investigated issues of interpretation and potential bias in the reporting of error rate estimates. The issues considered here are optimization and selection biases, sampling effects, measures of misclassification rate, baseline error rates, two-level external cross-validation and a novel proposal for detection of bias using the permutation mean. RESULTS: Reporting an optimal estimated error rate incurs an optimization bias. Downward bias of 3-5% was found in an existing study of classification based on gene expression data and may be endemic in similar studies. Using a simulated non-informative dataset and two example datasets from existing studies, we show how bias can be detected through the use of label permutations and avoided using two-level external cross-validation. Some studies avoid optimization bias by using single-level cross-validation and a test set, but error rates can be more accurately estimated via two-level cross-validation. In addition to estimating the simple overall error rate, we recommend reporting class error rates plus where possible the conditional risk incorporating prior class probabilities and a misclassification cost matrix. We also describe baseline error rates derived from three trivial classifiers which ignore the predictors. AVAILABILITY: R code which implements two-level external cross-validation with the PAMR package, experiment code, dataset details and additional figures are freely available for non-commercial use from http://www.maths.qut.edu.au/profiles/wood/permr.jsp.

T1  - A cross-sectional study of back belt use and low back pain amongst forklift drivers
AN  - 19793221; 7963897
AB  - Purpose: To determine the association between back belt usage and back pain amongst forklift drivers exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV). Method: Cross-sectional analytical study design amongst 158 drivers using back belts and 39 controls. Back pain was assessed using a Standardised Nordic Questionnaire for musculoskeletal disorders and WBV was measured on a sample of forklifts as per ISO 2631. Results: Compliance with belt usage was 90%. Eighty-nine percent of drivers reported back pain ever; and back pain after driving was associated with vibration intensity and work area. Belt usage was associated with back pain after driving on multivariate analysis. When restricting analysis to back belt users alone, frequency of usage was associated with increased rates of back pain. Conclusions: In a high WBV-exposed group, back belt usage was not associated with decreased risk of LBP. Users appeared to have increased LBP, although the relationship may be due to selection bias due to non-random assignment of back belt condition. Relevance to industry: back belt use for WBV exposed professional drivers should not be considered as a valid control measure to reduce the prevalence and intensity of LBP.

T1  - The contribution of the Important Bird Areas programme to the conservation of birds in Africa
AN  - 19754887; 7567862
AB  - The Important Bird Areas (IBA) programme aims to identify and protect a network of sites of global importance for the conservation of birds in perpetuity. Sites are identified at national level through applying internationally-agreed criteria concerned with the vulnerability and irreplaceability values of the birds they contain. Launched in 1994, the IBA programme in Africa has made a substantial contribution to conservation of birds through provision of information and developing capacity for bird conservation among individuals and institutions. A directory listing 1 230 IBAs was produced through desk studies and surveys, through which new information on species distribution and abundance is made available. Training for bird conservation has been organised by the BirdLife Partners and secretariat in Africa at various levels, targetting a wide range of stakeholders, including government agencies. Institutional capacity of the BirdLife Partners has been strengthened through developing partnerships, credibility and ability to undertake conservation action and advocacy. More work is required to update the lists of IBAs, monitor their status and scale up the programme to cover the whole continent.

T1  - Factoring out natural and indirect human effects on terrestrial carbon sources and sinks
AN  - 19708802; 7499375
AB  - The capacity to partition natural, indirect, and direct human-induced effects on terrestrial carbon (C) sources and sinks is necessary to be able to predict future terrestrial C dynamics and thus their influence on atmospheric CO sub(2) growth. However, it will take a number of years before we can better attribute quantitative estimates of the contribution of various C processes to the net C balance. In a policy context, factoring out natural and indirect human-induced effects on C sources and sinks from the direct human-induced influences, is seen as a requirement of a C accounting approach that establishes a clear and unambiguous connection between human activities and the assignment of C credits and debits. We present options for factoring out various groups of influences including climate variability, CO sub(2) and N fertilization, and legacies from forest management. These are: (i) selecting longer accounting or measurement periods to reduce the effects of inter-annual variability; (ii) correction of national inventories for inter-annual variability; (iii) use of activity-based accounting and C response curves; (iv) use of baseline scenarios or benchmarks at the national level; (v) stratification of the landscape into units with distinct average C stocks. Other, more sophisticated modeling approaches (e.g., demographic models in combination with forest inventories; process-based models) are possible options for future C accounting systems but their complexity and data requirements make their present adoption more difficult in an inclusive international C accounting system.

T1  - Biology and molecular phylogenetics of Nematoceras sulcatum, a second endemic orchid species from subantarctic Macquarie Island
AN  - 19694344; 7468478
AB  - A second orchid species, Nematoceras sulcatum M.A.Clem. et D.L.Jones, has been found on subantarctic Macquarie Island. A history of its discovery and recognition is provided. The morphology, biology and ecology of the new species are compared with N. dienemum (D.L.Jones) D.L.Jones, M.A.Clem. et Molloy, the other species of orchid on Macquarie Island. Molecular studies based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA reveal the phylogenetic relationship of the two Macquarie Island species compared to others in the genus from New Zealand and its Southern Ocean islands.

T1  - Clustered Sequence Representation for Fast Homology Search
AN  - 19691002; 7484899
AB  - We present a novel approach to managing redundancy in sequence databanks such as GenBank. We store clusters of near-identical sequences as a representative union-sequence and a set of corresponding edits to that sequence. During search, the query is compared to only the union-sequences representing each cluster; cluster members are then only reconstructed and aligned if the union-sequence achieves a sufficiently high score. Using this approach with BLAST results in a 27% reduction in collection size and a corresponding 22% decrease in search time with no significant change in accuracy. We also describe our method for clustering that uses fingerprinting, an approach that has been successfully applied to collections of text and web documents in Information Retrieval. Our clustering approach is ten times faster on the GenBank nonredundant protein database than the fastest existing approach, CD-HIT. We have integrated our approach into FSA-BLAST, our new Open Source version of BLAST (available from http://www.fsa-blast.org/). As a result, FSA-BLAST is twice as fast as NCBI-BLAST with no significant change in accuracy.

T1  - Evaluation of polyamidoamine dendrimer/ alpha -cyclodextrin conjugate (generation 3, G3) as a novel carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA)
AN  - 19686534; 8607703
AB  - As the first step toward an evaluation of the potential use of the PAMAM dendrimer (G3) conjugate with alpha -cyclodextrin ( alpha -CDE) for a small interfering RNA (siRNA) carrier, the ternary complexes of alpha -CDE or the transfection reagents such as Lipofactamine[TM] 2000 (L2), TransFast[TM] (TF) and Lipofectin[TM] (LF) with plasmid DNA (pDNA) and siRNA were prepared, and their RNAi effects, cytotoxicity, physicochemical properties and intracellular distribution were compared. Here the pGL2 control vector (pGL2) and pGL3 control vector (pGL3) encoding the firefly luciferase gene and the two corresponding siRNAs (siGL2 and siGL3) were used. The ternary complexes of pGL3/siGL3/ alpha -CDE showed the potent RNAi effects with negligible cytotoxicity compared to those of the transfection reagents in various cells. alpha -CDE strongly interacted with both pDNA and siRNA, and suppressed siRNA degradation by serum, compared to those of the transfection reagents. alpha -CDE allowed fluorescent labeled siRNA to distribute in cytoplasm, whereas the transfection reagents resided in both nucleus and cytoplasm in NIH3T3 cells. Furthermore, the binary complex of siRNA/ alpha -CDE provided the significant RNAi effect in NIH3T3 cells transiently and stably expressing luciferase gene. These results suggest that alpha -CDE may be utilized as a novel carrier for siRNA.

T1  - Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography of the Chest and Abdomen with Use of Controlled Apnea in Children
AN  - 19668603; 7421521
AB  - PURPOSE: To retrospectively determine if controlled apnea improves the image quality of contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the chest and abdomen in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval and waiver of informed consent were obtained for this HIPAA-compliant study. The authors evaluated contrast-enhanced MR angiographic procedures performed in the chest, abdomen, or both, in 23 children (14 boys, nine girls; age range, 1 month to 8 years) who were under general anesthesia. All patients underwent mechanical ventilation with preoxygenation (100% oxygen) prior to controlled apnea during image acquisition. In control subjects, the authors assessed contrast-enhanced MR angiographic procedures performed in the chest, abdomen, or both, in 23 children (matched for age and type of study with children in the controlled apnea group; 11 boys, 12 girls; age range, 1 month to 8 years) who were under general anesthesia (n = 15) or deep sedation (n = 8) and were breathing spontaneously during image acquisition. MR angiograms of the chest, abdomen, or both, were assessed for image quality, motion artifacts, and vessel definition by two radiologists working in consensus with a subjective grading scale. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to assess differences in measurements. RESULTS: Image quality was rated excellent in 97% (30 of 31) of studies with controlled apnea and in 30% (nine of 31) of control studies (P < .001). Motion artifacts were absent in 97% (30 of 31) of studies with controlled apnea and 13% (four of 31) of control studies (P < .001). Vessel sharpness was rated as being significantly better on images obtained with controlled apnea (P < .05). There were no complications caused by anesthesia or sedation in either group. CONCLUSION: Controlled apnea is highly effective in children for eliminating respiratory motion artifacts with contrast-enhanced MR angiographic studies, resulting in greatly improved image quality and spatial resolution.

T1  - Motor Vehicles: Are They Emerging Threats to Lake Victoria and its Environment?
AN  - 1777137060; 13635750
AB  - Lake Victoria and its basin supports more than 30 million people, while its fishes are exported the world over. This second largest fresh water body is however experiencing stress due to eutrophication, sedimentation, declining levels and more recently the motor vehicle sector. This contribution examines the general pollution from motor vehicle and gives an in-depth analysis of motor vehicle washing along the lakeshore. The results indicate the water samples from the motor vehicle washing and urban runoff points to be slightly acidic (i.e., average pH of 6.7) and average Total Phosphorus levels of 0.4 and 2.4 ppm respectively. This implies that there was high soap input at these points. The conductivity for the motor vehicle washing points averaged at 150kS/cm, while the urban runoffs point was more varied ranging from below 150kS/cm to over 400kS/cm (average 301kS/cm). A positive correlation coefficient of more than 0.7 is obtained between the total daily count of vehicles and each of the water quality parameter tested. This signifies a strong correlation between motor vehicle related activities and the pollution of the lake. In general, the motor vehicle industry is found to have a noticeable negative effect on the Lake.

T1  - PBTK Modeling Demonstrates Contribution of Dermal and Inhalation Exposure Components to End-Exhaled Breath Concentrations of Naphthalene
AN  - 14835821; 10720040
AB  - Relative contribution of dermal and inhalation exposures to the exhaled air concentrations of naphthalene, by physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) model, among U.S. Air Force Personnel was described. Tape-strip and blood samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Time-course plots showed considerable variability among the volunteers. The mean plus or minus standard deviation (SD) of the peak concentration of naphthalene in blood was 0.18 plus or minus 0.22 ng/mL and occurred at 62 plus or minus 16 min. In the multidose route physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) model, the end-exhaled breath concentration of naphthalene was most sensitive to cardiac output ventilation rate and the blood air partition coefficient.

T1  - Household Air Pollution from Coal and Biomass Fuels in China: Measurements, Health Impacts, and Interventions
AN  - 14834566; 10720033
AB  - Various aspects related to measurements, health impacts, and interventions for household air pollution from coal and biomass fuels in China were discussed. Computer searches covering literature from 1980-2006 were conducted. Lower molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were present predominantly in the gas phase. The concentrations of total suspended particles (TSPs) and sulfur dioxide (SO sub(2)) were highest in the kitchens of households using coal. An analysis of the indoor-outdoor differences indicated that even when coal smoke was vented outdoors, indoor levels could be high in communities where large numbers of households used solid fuels because the neighborhood pollution created by local household emissions led to significant re-entry of pollution back into the households. The meta-analyses presented strong demiologic evidence that exposure to indoor coal smoke significantly increased lung cancer risk.

T1  - Childhood Asthma and Environmental Interventions
AN  - 14833958; 10720051
AB  - Various aspects related to childhood asthma and environmental interventions were discussed. Asthma and allergic conditions in particular were believed to be associated primarily with exposure to contaminants common in indoor rather than outdoor environments (IOM). High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaners versus standard vacuum cleaners were tested for effectiveness in improving respiratory health in asthmatic children. HEPA vacuum cleaners significantly reduced house dust mite, cat and dog allergens throughout the home. The combination of bedding covers, hot water washes of bedding, and removal of carpets resulted in improved respiratory function even among asthmatic children. Future work may focus on effectiveness of intervention and education in reducing the adverse effects of other environmentally mediated diseases from hazards inside the home and how genes and environmental exposures interact.

T1  - In Search of a Common European Approach to a Healthy Indoor Environment
AN  - 14833943; 10720053
AB  - Various aspects related to the search for a approach to a healthy indoor environment were discussed. A common European Union (EU) policy approach would provide an example for individual member states and local governances to establish additional and more coherent national policies to improve indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Four categories of barriers existed namely, the subsidiarity principle, fragmentation of expertise and purpose at various levels, the important climatic and governance differences among the EU member states, and economic issues. Policy interpretation network on children's health and environment (PINCHE) was a valuable step toward the creation of a widely supported solid scientific basis for public health and environment of children.

T1  - Improving Indoor Environmental Quality for Public Health: Impediments and Policy Recommendations
AN  - 14833898; 10720048
AB  - Different aspects related to improving indoor environmental quality (IEQ) for public health were discussed. Chemical hazards included environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), nitrogen and sulfur oxides, ozone, particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, formaldehyde, and plasticizers. Physical hazards in indoor environments accounted for many acute as well as chronic injuries. Infants and children were at a higher risk of exposure to environmental stressors and toxicants. The combination of inaction at both the individual and the societal levels made healthy indoor environments difficult to achieve. Education and information dissemination on the public health risks associated with indoor environments were essential. Policy makers should be well informed of risks in order to make useful public health decisions. Individuals should understand both the health consequences of poor indoor environment quality, and some simple and feasible interventions to improve IEQ.

T1  - Elements That Contribute to Healthy Building Design
AN  - 14833895; 10720050
AB  - Elements that contributed to healthy building design, were discussed. Sustainable design introduced benign, nonpolluting materials, which had lower operating energy requirements and higher durability and recyclability. Cool roofs and cool community developments with increases in landscape surfaces and tree canopies demonstrated reduction in annual cooling loads by 10%, peak cooling by 5%, as well as benefits for carbon sequestration, storm runoff management, and a 6-8% reduction in smog that could potentially reduce respiratory illness. Almost all occupants who used air-conditioning exhibited one or more sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms and usually displayed more SBS symptoms after using air conditioning than when they used natural ventilation. Training of professionals in various fields of design, construction, maintenance, and management of the building is necessary in developing healthier environments for living and work.

AB  - Different issues related to childhood leukemia in the vicinity of the Geesthacht nuclear establishments near Hamburg, Germany, were discussed. Case ascertainment was conducted to provide information on cases among residents of the study region as well as among all residents of the surrounding countries. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and cases of childhood leukemia (CI) were calculated. Results showed that most cases were of acute lymphatic leukemia, whereas the remainder was of acute myeloid leukemia. Most of the cases were of males and were diagnosed at <5 years of age. The incidence of childhood leukemia in the regions surrounding the nuclear research and nuclear facilities in the Elbmarsch municipality was significantly higher than the childhood leukemia incidence rate for Germany as a whole.

T1  - Reduction in Urinary Arsenic Levels in Response to Arsenic Mitigation Efforts in Araihazar, Bangladesh
AN  - 14833104; 10720043
AB  - Evaluation of an effective mitigation program for arsenic (As) exposure from drinking water in Bangladesh was conducted. Total As concentrations were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAA). High body mass index (BMI) in Bangladesh indicated better nutrition status, which might influence the excretion of As. Smoking of tobacco products and presence of skin lesions were inversely associated with the reduction of total urinary As, indicating that these factors might be related to a higher body burden of As or a reduced clearance of As from the body. It was suggested that the removal of As from groundwater, or human pathogens from surface water, is economically and culturally challenging, particularly on a large scale.

T1  - Current State of the Science: Health Effects and Indoor Environmental Quality
AN  - 14831035; 10720049
AB  - Various aspects related to health effects and indoor environmental quality were discussed. Sources of indoor air pollution included: fuel combustion, tobacco smoking, bioeffluents from humans and animals, and paints wax. Outdoor sources included: atmosphere pollutants and those released from soil sources. Several terpenes reacted readily with O sub(3) under typical or realistic indoor conditions to initiate a series of complex reactions. Studies of residential building design had examined a range of health outcomes related to building design, notably injury, but also mental health and other outcomes. It was evident that indoor environments were unique and contained significant exposures that affected the health of occupants. The exposures were the result of complex interactions between the structures, building systems, furnishings, the outdoor environment, and the building occupants and their activities.

T1  - Growing Green Roofs, City by City
AN  - 14828026; 10720031
AB  - Various aspects related to growing use of green roofs were discussed. It was shown that green roofs gained momentum in past six years as building owners recognized its advantages over conventional roofing in terms of better energy efficiency and reduced runoff. A look at the cities that were leading the country in the green roof coverage revealed a growing range of policy tools. The District studied allotted about $500,000 in 2007 to innovative storm water control grants in addition to the Natural Resources Conservation Service partnership. A shift in green roof installations from mainly commercial buildings to a mix of commercial and residential was seen. It was suggested that the environmental protection agency (EPA) could incorporate green roofs into incentives for cities to comply with the clean water act.

T1  - Linking Public Health, Housing, and Indoor Environmental Policy: Successes and Challenges at Local and Federal Agencies in the United States
AN  - 14822305; 10720052
AB  - Various aspects related to linking public health, housing, and indoor environmental policy were discussed. Exposure pathway studies revealed that children were most commonly exposed to deteriorated lead-based paint and the contaminated settled house dust and soil generated. The high prevalence of poverty, density of children, and substandard housing placed children in the Cleave land area at high risk for pediatric diseases related to the home environment. Results of the United States environmental protection agency (U.S. EPA) indicated that approximately 30% of the people with asthma took all the essential actions recommended by the U.S. EPA to reduce exposure to indoor triggers. Better understanding of optimum delivery of integrated services and the construction of improved local capacity to provide comprehensive health-related improvements in building through improved collaboration between housing and health agencies at all levels of government could make homes, buildings, and communities safe and viable.

T1  - Workgroup Report: Incorporating In Vitro Alternative Methods for Developmental Neurotoxicity into International Hazard and Risk Assessment Strategies
AN  - 14822269; 10720044
AB  - Various issues related to incorporation of alternative methods for developmental neurotoxicity into international hazard and risk assessment strategies in vitro were reported. Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT) testing was based on clear understanding of the mechanistic processes underlying normal nervous system development. A combination of marker gene expression and cell position could be used to assess neuronal migration. Alternations in blood-brain barrier (BBB) and choroid plexus (CP) were implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and could be used for evaluating the potential of chemicals. Retrospective studies diagnosing human fetal anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS) by ultrasonography and the fetal magnetic resonance imaging, combined with follow-up studies after birth, revealed CP pathology in 9% of children with sub optimal neurodevelopment. Biokinetic processes namely, absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion determined the relationship between the exposure pattern and the internal concentration time course.

T1  - Exposure to Organophosphates Reduces the Expression of Neurotrophic Factors in Neonatal Rat Brain Regions: Similarities and Differences in the Effects of Chlorpyrifos and Diazinon on the Fibroblast Growth Factor Superfamily
AN  - 14822246; 10720042
AB  - Role of exposure to organophosphates in reducing the expression of neurotrophic factors in neonatal rat brain regions was discussed. Tissues were thawed and total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was isolated using the Aurum total RNA Fatty and Fibrous Tissue Kit. RNA quality was verified using the RNA 6000 LabChip Kit and the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Organophosphate exposures elicited significant and regionally selective changes in gene expression for the fibroblast growth factor (FGFs) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). Multivariate ANOVA showed a significant treatment  region  gene interaction, enabling separate evaluations for each gene. The effects of diazinon on the FGF genes displayed similarities to those of chlorpyrifos.

T1  - Declines in Sex Ratio at Birth and Fetal Deaths in Japan, and in U.S. Whites but Not African Americans
AN  - 14821968; 10720046
AB  - Trends in sex ratio (SR) at birth and fetal deaths in Japan and U.S. Whites were studied. Effects of paternal and maternal exposure were found. It was found that mothers with the highest levels of exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) gave birth to proportionally more males than females, whereas those with the lowest exposure did not. Using national statistics provided by the Japanese Vital Statistics Bureau, trends in SR and vital statistics data were examined. SR declined significantly in U.S. whites and Japanese. In African Americans, SR increased modestly over time, while lower than that of whites. In Japan, fetal death rates were typically more than twice those of United States, and range was five times large.

T1  - The roles of organic anion permeases in aluminium resistance and mineral nutrition.
AN  - 70513548; 17418140
AB  - Soluble aluminium (Al(3+)) is the major constraint to plant growth on acid soils. Plants have evolved mechanisms to tolerate Al(3+) and one type of mechanism relies on the efflux of organic anions that protect roots by chelating the Al(3+). Al(3+) resistance genes of several species have now been isolated and found to encode membrane proteins that facilitate organic anion efflux from roots. These proteins belong to the Al(3+)-activated malate transporter (ALMT) and multi-drug and toxin extrusion (MATE) families. We review the roles of these proteins in Al(3+) resistance as well as their roles in other aspects of mineral nutrition.

T1  - Particulate Air Pollution, Progression, and Survival after Myocardial Infarction
AN  - 746305078; 11413550
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Several studies have examined the effect of particulate pollution (PM) on survival in general populations, but less is known about susceptible groups. Moreover, previous cohort studies have been cross-sectional and subject to confounding by uncontrolled differences between cities. DESIGN: We investigated whether PM was associated with progression of disease or reduced survival in a study of 196,000 persons from 21 U.S. cities discharged alive following an acute myocardial infarction (MI), using within-city between-year exposure to PM. We constructed city-specific cohorts of survivors of acute MI using Medicare data between 1985 and 1999, and defined three outcomes on follow-up: death, subsequent MI, and a first admission for congestive heart failure (CHF). Yearly averages of PM(10) (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 10 microm) were merged to the individual annual follow-up in each city. We applied Cox's proportional hazard regression model in each city, with adjustment for individual risk factors. In the second stage of the analysis, the city-specific results were combined using a meta-regression. RESULTS: We found significant associations with a hazard ratio for the sum of the distributed lags of 1.3 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.2-1.5] for mortality, a hazard ratio of 1.4 (95% CI, 1.2-1.7) for a hospitalization for CHF, and a hazard ratio of 1.4 (95% CI, 1.1-1.8) for a new hospitalization for MI per 10 microg/m(3) PM(10). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first long-term study showing a significant association between particle exposure and adverse post-MI outcomes in persons who survived an MI.

T1  - Quantifying the Efficiency and Equity Implications of Power Plant Air Pollution Control Strategies in the United States
AN  - 746302663; 11413554
AB  - BACKGROUND: In deciding among competing approaches for emissions control, debates often hinge on the potential tradeoffs between efficiency and equity. However, previous health benefits analyses have not formally addressed both dimensions. OBJECTIVES: We modeled the public health benefits and the change in the spatial inequality of health risk for a number of hypothetical control scenarios for power plants in the United States to determine optimal control strategies. METHODS: We simulated various ways by which emission reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)), nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter (particulate matter 2.5 microm in diameter; PM(2.5)) could be distributed to reach national emissions caps. We applied a source-receptor matrix to determine the PM(2.5) concentration changes associated with each control scenario and estimated the mortality reductions. We estimated changes in the spatial inequality of health risk using the Atkinson index and other indicators, following previously derived axioms for measuring health risk inequality. RESULTS: In our baseline model, benefits ranged from 17,000-21,000 fewer premature deaths per year across control scenarios. Scenarios with greater health benefits also tended to have greater reductions in the spatial inequality of health risk, as many sources with high health benefits per unit emissions of SO(2) were in areas with high background PM(2.5) concentrations. Sensitivity analyses indicated that conclusions were generally robust to the choice of indicator and other model specifications. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis demonstrates an approach for formally quantifying both the magnitude and spatial distribution of health benefits of pollution control strategies, allowing for joint consideration of efficiency and equity.

T1  - rhBMP-2 enhancement of posterolateral spinal fusion in a rabbit model in the presence of concurrently administered doxorubicin.
AN  - 70471005; 17482116
AB  - Spinal fusions can be necessary in patients undergoing chemotherapy with doxorubicin. In a previous study, doxorubicin was shown to decrease spinal fusion rates in a rabbit model of lumbar intertransverse process spinal fusion with autograft iliac crest bone. In the current study, we determine whether spinal fusion with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) can overcome the inhibitory effect of doxorubicin in spinal fusion.
          To determine if rhBMP-2 can overcome the inhibitory effects of doxorubicin (adriamycin) in an animal model of posterolateral spinal fusion. Prospective, controlled, rabbit model of posterolateral lumbar fusion.
          Spine fusion was assessed by manual palpation (by observers blinded to the treatment group) at the level of arthrodesis. Fusion was graded according to a five-tiered classification (0-4). Posteroanterior radiographs of the excised spines were also graded in a blinded fashion using a six-point scoring system (0-5) devised to describe the amount of bone observed between the L5-L6 transverse processes. Thirty-two New Zealand White rabbits underwent posterolateral fusion at L5-L6 with either autograft (iliac crest autograft bone) or rhBMP-2 (rhBMP-2/absorbable collagen sponge (0.86 mg/level). All animals received a dose of doxorubicin (2.5 mg/kg) known to inhibit spine fusion via the central vein of the ear immediately postoperatively. Five weeks postoperatively the rabbits were euthanized. Spine fusion was assessed by manual palpation, and graft quality was assessed with posteroanterior radiographs. Four of the 16 spines (25%) in the autograft group and 16 of the 16 spines (100%) in the rhBMP-2 group fused in the presence of doxorubicin administration (p<.05). There was significantly increased bone formation in the rhBMP-2 group (p<.05). One unilateral, subclinical wound infection was observed in each group at the time of euthanization (autograft [n=1, 6%] and rhBMP-2 [n=1, 6%]).
          We confirm that when autograft is used, doxorubicin decreases spinal fusion rate (25%) compared with historical controls (60-75%). More importantly, using rhBMP-2 overcomes the inhibitory effect of doxorubicin, resulting in 100% fusion in our animal model. This study suggests that rhBMP-2 has the potential to improve fusion rates in human patients undergoing chemotherapy with doxorubicin.

T1  - Water Power: Why Congress Zeroed 'Bunker Buster' Appropriations
AN  - 59786301; 200805077
AB  - In 2004 and 2005, Congress denied Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator funding, leading the Administration to cancel it. How did this happen? While Representative David Hobson opposed the program on grounds of strategy and cost, his Chairmanship of the House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee let him succeed. Funding could have been restored at several points in the House appropriations process. Because of Hobson's control over water projects, however, Representatives knew he would have the votes to pass his bill overwhelmingly, so none challenged him. Process shaped outcome, and anticipation of the outcome facilitated the smooth working of the process. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Can fungal biopesticides control malaria?
AN  - 21335339; 11935895
AB  - Recent research has raised the prospect of using insect fungal pathogens for the control of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. In the past, microbial control of insect pests in both medical and agricultural sectors has generally had limited success. We propose that it might now be possible to produce a cheap, safe and green tool for the control of malaria, which, in contrast to most chemical insecticides, will not eventually be rendered useless by evolution of resistance. Realizing this potential will require lateral thinking by biologists, technologists and development agencies.

T1  - Chronic Arsenic Exposure and Cardiac Repolarization Abnormalities with QT Interval Prolongation in a Population-based Study
AN  - 21185405; 11413562
AB  - BACKGROUND: Chronic arsenic exposure is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities. Prolongation of the QT (time between initial deflection of QRS complex to the end of T wave) interval and profound repolarization changes on electrocardiogram (ECG) have been reported in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with arsenic trioxide. This acquired form of long QT syndrome can result in life-threatening arrhythmias. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the cardiac effects of arsenic by investigating QT interval alterations in a human population chronically exposed to arsenic. METHODS: Residents in Ba Men, Inner Mongolia, have been chronically exposed to arsenic via consumption of water from artesian wells. A total of 313 Ba Men residents with the mean arsenic exposure of 15 years were divided into three arsenic exposure groups: low ( or = 21 microg/L), medium (100-300 microg/L), and high (430-690 microg/L). ECGs were obtained on all study subjects. The normal range for QTc (corrected QT) interval is 0.33-0.44 sec, and QTc or = 0.45 sec was considered to be prolonged. RESULTS: The prevalence rates of QT prolongation and water arsenic concentrations showed a dose-dependent relationship (p = 0.001). The prevalence rates of QTc prolongation were 3.9, 11.1, 20.6% for low, medium, and high arsenic exposure, respectively. QTc prolongation was also associated with sex (p 0.0001) but not age (p = 0.486) or smoking (p = 0.1018). Females were more susceptible to QT prolongation than males. CONCLUSIONS: We found significant association between chronic arsenic exposure and QT interval prolongation in a human population. QT interval may potentially be useful in the detection of early cardiac arsenic toxicity.

T1  - Molecular Mechanisms of the Diabetogenic Effects of Arsenic: Inhibition of Insulin Signaling by Arsenite and Methylarsonous Acid
AN  - 21180016; 11413555
AB  - BACKGROUND: Increased prevalences of diabetes mellitus have been reported among individuals chronically exposed to inorganic arsenic (iAs). However, the mechanisms underlying the diabetogenic effects of iAs have not been characterized. We have previously shown that trivalent metabolites of iAs, arsenite (iAs(III)) and methylarsonous acid (MAs(III)) inhibit insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by suppressing the insulin-dependent phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt). OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to identify the molecular mechanisms responsible for the suppression of PKB/Akt phosphorylation by iAs(III) and MAs(III). METHODS: The effects of iAs(III) and MAs(III) on components of the insulin-activated signal transduction pathway that regulate PKB/Akt phosphorylation were examined in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. RESULTS: Subtoxic concentrations of iAs(III) or MAs(III) had little or no effect on the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K), which synthesizes phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP(3)), or on phosphorylation of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten), a PIP(3) phosphatase. Neither iAs(III) nor MAs(III) interfered with the phosphorylation of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1) located downstream from PI-3K. However, PDK-1 activity was inhibited by both iAs(III) and MAs(III). Consistent with these findings, PDK-1-catalyzed phosphorylation of PKB/Akt(Thr308) and PKB/Akt activity were suppressed in exposed cells. In addition, PKB/Akt(Ser473) phosphorylation, which is catalyzed by a putative PDK-2, was also suppressed. Notably, expression of constitutively active PKB/Akt restored the normal ISGU pattern in adipocytes treated with either iAs(III) or MAs(III). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that inhibition of the PDK-1/PKB/Akt-mediated transduction step is the key mechanism for the inhibition of ISGU in adipocytes exposed to iAs(III) or MAs(III), and possibly for impaired glucose tolerance associated with human exposures to iAs.

T1  - What Do We Feed to Food-Production Animals? A Review of Animal Feed Ingredients and Their Potential Impacts on Human Health
AN  - 21177956; 11413566
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Animal feeding practices in the United States have changed considerably over the past century. As large-scale, concentrated production methods have become the predominant model for animal husbandry, animal feeds have been modified to include ingredients ranging from rendered animals and animal waste to antibiotics and organoarsenicals. In this article we review current U.S. animal feeding practices and etiologic agents that have been detected in animal feed. Evidence that current feeding practices may lead to adverse human health impacts is also evaluated. DATA SOURCES: We reviewed published veterinary and human-health literature regarding animal feeding practices, etiologic agents present in feed, and human health effects along with proceedings from animal feed workshops. DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted from peer-reviewed articles and books identified using PubMed, Agricola, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention databases. DATA SYNTHESIS: Findings emphasize that current animal feeding practices can result in the presence of bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, prions, arsenicals, and dioxins in feed and animal-based food products. Despite a range of potential human health impacts that could ensue, there are significant data gaps that prevent comprehensive assessments of human health risks associated with animal feed. Limited data are collected at the federal or state level concerning the amounts of specific ingredients used in animal feed, and there are insufficient surveillance systems to monitor etiologic agents "from farm to fork." CONCLUSIONS: Increased funding for integrated veterinary and human health surveillance systems and increased collaboration among feed professionals, animal producers, and veterinary and public health officials is necessary to effectively address these issues.

T1  - Mortality Risk Associated with Short-Term Exposure to Traffic Particles and Sulfates
AN  - 21172145; 11413553
AB  - BACKGROUND: Many studies have shown that airborne particles are associated with increased risk of death, but attention has more recently focused on the differential toxicity of particles from different sources. Geographic information system (GIS) approaches have recently been used to improve exposure assessment, particularly for traffic particles, but only for long-term exposure. OBJECTIVES: We analyzed approximately 100,000 deaths from all, cardiovascular, and respiratory causes for the years 1995-2002 using a case-crossover analysis. METHODS: Estimates of exposure to traffic particles were geocoded to the address of each decedent on the day before death and control days, with these estimates derived from a GIS-based exposure model incorporating deterministic covariates, such as traffic density and meteorologic factors, and a smooth function of latitude and longitude. RESULTS: We estimate that an IQR increase in traffic particle exposure on the day before death is associated with a 2.3% increase [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.2 to 3.4%] in all-cause mortality risk. Stroke deaths were particularly elevated (4.4%; 95% CI, -0.2 to 9.3%), as were diabetes deaths (5.7%; 95% CI, -1.7 to 13.7%). Sulfate particles are spatially homogeneous, and using a central monitor, we found that an IQR increase in sulfate levels on the day before death is associated with a 1.1% (95% CI, 0.1 to 2.0%) increase in all-cause mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS: Both traffic and powerplant particles are associated with increased deaths in Boston, with larger effects for traffic particles.

T1  - Assessing Cumulative Health Risks from Exposure to Environmental Mixtures-Three Fundamental Questions
AN  - 21171543; 11413542
AB  - Differential exposure to mixtures of environmental agents, including biological, chemical, physical, and psychosocial stressors, can contribute to increased vulnerability of human populations and ecologic systems. Cumulative risk assessment is a tool for organizing and analyzing information to evaluate the probability and seriousness of harmful effects caused by either simultaneous and/or sequential exposure to multiple environmental stressors. In this article we focus on elucidating key challenges that must be addressed to determine whether and to what degree differential exposure to environmental mixtures contributes to increased vulnerability of exposed populations. In particular, the emphasis is on examining three fundamental and interrelated questions that must be addressed as part of the process to assess cumulative risk: a) Which mixtures are most important from a public health perspective? and b) What is the nature (i.e., duration, frequency, timing) and magnitude (i.e., exposure concentration and dose) of relevant cumulative exposures for the population of interest? c) What is the mechanism (e.g., toxicokinetic or toxicodynamic) and consequence (e.g., additive, less than additive, more than additive) of the mixture's interactive effects on exposed populations? The focus is primarily on human health effects from chemical mixtures, and the goal is to reinforce the need for improved assessment of cumulative exposure and better understanding of the biological mechanisms that determine toxicologic interactions among mixture constituents.

T1  - Mortality Effects of a Copper Smelter Strike and Reduced Ambient Sulfate Particulate Matter Air Pollution
AN  - 21169092; 11413564
AB  - BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have reported associations between fine particulate and sulfur oxide air pollution and human mortality. Yet there continues to be concern that public policy efforts to improve air quality may not produce actual improvement in human health. OBJECTIVES: This study retrospectively explored a natural experiment associated with a copper smelter strike from 15 July 1967 through the beginning of April 1968. METHODS: In the 1960s, copper smelters accounted for approximately 90% of all sulfate emissions in the four Southwest states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. Over the 8.5-month strike period, a regional improvement in visibility accompanied an approximately 60% decrease in concentrations of suspended sulfate particles. We collected monthly mortality counts for 1960-1975 and analyzed them using Poisson regression models. RESULTS: The strike-related estimated percent decrease in mortality was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.0%), based on a Poisson regression model that controlled for time trends, mortality counts in bordering states, and nationwide mortality counts for influenza/pneumonia, cardiovascular, and other respiratory deaths. CONCLUSIONS: These results contribute to the growing body of evidence that ambient sulfate particulate matter and related air pollutants are adversely associated with human health and that the reduction in this pollution can result in reduced mortality.

T1  - Linkage of the California Pesticide Use Reporting Database with Spatial Land Use Data for Exposure Assessment
AN  - 21161919; 11413563
AB  - BACKGROUND: The State of California maintains a comprehensive Pesticide Use Reporting Database (CPUR). The California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) maps all crops in agricultural counties in California about once every 5 years. OBJECTIVE: We integrated crop maps with CPUR to more accurately locate where pesticides are applied and evaluated the effects for exposure assessment. METHODS: We mapped 577 residences and used the CPUR and CDWR data to compute two exposure metrics based on putative pesticide use within a 500-m buffer. For the CPUR metric, we assigned pesticide exposure to the residence proportionally for all square-mile Sections that intersected the buffer. For the CDWR metric, we linked CPUR crop-specific pesticide use to crops mapped within the buffer and assigned pesticide exposure. We compared the metrics for six pesticides: simazine, trifluralin (herbicides), dicofol, propargite (insecticides), methyl bromide, and metam sodium (fumigants). RESULTS: For all six pesticides we found good agreement (88-98%) as to whether the pesticide use was predicted. When we restricted the analysis to residences with reported pesticide use in Sections within 500 m, agreement was greatly reduced (35-58%). The CPUR metric estimates of pesticide use within 500 m were significantly higher than the CDWR metric for all six pesticides. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings may have important implications for exposure classification in epidemiologic studies of agricultural pesticide use using CPUR. There is a need to conduct environmental and biological measurements to ascertain which, if any, of these metrics best represent exposure.

T1  - Elevated Lead in Drinking Water in Washington, DC, 2003-2004: The Public Health Response
AN  - 21161886; 11413561
AB  - BACKGROUND: In 2003, residents of the District of Columbia (DC) experienced an abrupt rise in lead levels in drinking water, which followed a change in water-disinfection treatment in 2001 and which was attributed to consequent changes in water chemistry and corrosivity. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the public health implications of the exceedance, the DC Department of Health expanded the scope of its monitoring programs for blood lead levels in children. METHODS: From 3 February 2004 to 31 July 2004, 6,834 DC residents were screened to determine their blood lead levels. RESULTS: Children from 6 months to 6 years of age constituted 2,342 of those tested; 65 had blood lead levels 10 microg/dL (the "level of concern" defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the highest with a level of 68 microg/dL. Investigation of their homes identified environmental sources of lead exposure other than tap water as the source, when the source was identified. Most of the children with elevated blood lead levels (n = 46; 70.8%) lived in homes without lead drinking-water service lines, which is the principal source of lead in drinking water in older cities. Although residents of houses with lead service lines had higher blood lead levels on average than those in houses that did not, this relationship is confounded. Older houses that retain lead service lines usually have not been rehabilitated and are more likely to be associated with other sources of exposure, particularly lead paint. None of 96 pregnant women tested showed blood lead levels 10 microg/dL, but two nursing mothers had blood lead levels 10 microg/dL. Among two data sets of 107 and 71 children for whom paired blood and water lead levels could be obtained, there was no correlation (r(2) = -0.03142 for the 107). CONCLUSIONS: The expanded screening program developed in response to increased lead levels in water uncovered the true dimensions of a continuing problem with sources of lead in homes, specifically lead paint. This study cannot be used to correlate lead in drinking water with blood lead levels directly because it is based on an ecologic rather than individualized exposure assessment; the protocol for measuring lead was based on regulatory requirements rather than estimating individual intake; numerous interventions were introduced to mitigate the effect; exposure from drinking water is confounded with other sources of lead in older houses; and the period of potential exposure was limited and variable.

T1  - Tetrahydrofurandiols (THF-diols), Leukotoxindiols (LTX-diols), and Endocrine Disruption in Rats
AN  - 21157718; 11413560
AB  - BACKGROUND: Ground corncob animal bedding and corn food products contain substances that disrupt endocrine function in rats. The disruptors were identified as isomeric mixtures of tetrahydrofurandiols (THF-diols; 9,12-oxy-10,13-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid and 10,13-oxy-9,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid) and leukotoxindiols (LTX-diols; 9,10-dihydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid and 12,13-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid). The authentic compounds blocked sexual behavior in male rats and estrous cyclicity in female rats at oral doses of 2 ppm. OBJECTIVES: To define the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) for the THF-diols and LTX-diols in rats, we examined the nature of their interaction (additive or synergistic) and quantified the concentration of THF-diols in rat tissues. METHODS: Adult male and female rats were provided drinking solutions containing various doses of THF-diols and/or LTX-diols, and we evaluated their effects on male sexual behavior and female estrous cyclicity. Tissues were collected for THF-diol determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The LOAEL for THF-diols and LTX-diols for blocking estrous cyclicity was 0.5-1.0 ppm and 0.2-0.5 ppm, respectively. Higher concentrations (1-2 ppm) of THF-diols were required to block male sexual behavior. Combination studies with subthreshold doses of 0.05 ppm THF-diols plus 0.05 ppm LTX-diols revealed that their effects on estrous cyclicity were not synergistic. We were unable to detect THF-diols in tissues from rats treated with 10 ppm of the compounds, suggesting that metabolism may be involved. DISCUSSION: THF-diols, LTX-diols, and/or their metabolites likely act additively to disrupt endocrine function in male and female rats at concentrations (0.5-1 ppm) that are 200-fold lower than those of classical phytoestrogen endocrine disruptors.

T1  - Proteomic Analysis of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid: Effect of Acute Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Particles in Rats
AN  - 21153643; 11413552
AB  - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

T1  - Atrazine-Induced Aromatase Expression Is SF-1 Dependent: Implications for Endocrine Disruption in Wildlife and Reproductive Cancers in Humans
AN  - 21133140; 11413557
AB  - BACKGROUND: Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that increases aromatase expression in some human cancer cell lines. The mechanism involves the inhibition of phosphodiesterase and subsequent elevation of cAMP. METHODS: We compared steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) expression in atrazine responsive and non-responsive cell lines and transfected SF-1 into nonresponsive cell lines to assess SF-1's role in atrazine-induced aromatase. We used a luciferase reporter driven by the SF-1-dependent aromatase promoter (ArPII) to examine activation of this promoter by atrazine and the related simazine. We mutated the SF-1 binding site to confirm the role of SF-1. We also examined effects of 55 other chemicals. Finally, we examined the ability of atrazine and simazine to bind to SF-1 and enhance SF-1 binding to ArPII. RESULTS: Atrazine-responsive adrenal carcinoma cells (H295R) expressed 54 times more SF-1 than nonresponsive ovarian granulosa KGN cells. Exogenous SF-1 conveyed atrazine-responsiveness to otherwise nonresponsive KGN and NIH/3T3 cells. Atrazine induced binding of SF-1 to chromatin and mutation of the SF-1 binding site in ArPII eliminated SF-1 binding and atrazine-responsiveness in H295R cells. Out of 55 chemicals examined, only atrazine, simazine, and benzopyrene induced luciferase via ArPII. Atrazine bound directly to SF-1, showing that atrazine is a ligand for this "orphan" receptor. CONCLUSION: The current findings are consistent with atrazine's endocrine-disrupting effects in fish, amphibians, and reptiles; the induction of mammary and prostate cancer in laboratory rodents; and correlations between atrazine and similar reproductive cancers in humans. This study highlights the importance of atrazine as a risk factor in endocrine disruption in wildlife and reproductive cancers in laboratory rodents and humans.

T1  - The SHEDS-Wood Model: Incorporation of Observational Data to Estimate Exposure to Arsenic for Children Playing on CCA-Treated Wood Structures
AN  - 21133124; 11413548
AB  - BACKGROUND: Lumber treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) compounds has been used in residential outdoor wood structures and public playgrounds. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted a probabilistic assessment of children's exposure to arsenic using the Stochastic Human Exposure and Dose Simulation model for the wood preservative scenario (SHEDS-Wood). The assessment relied on data derived from an experimental study conducted using adult volunteers and designed to result in maximum hand and wipe loadings to estimate the residue-skin transfer efficiency. Recent analyses of arsenic hand-loading data generated by studies of children actively involved in playing on CCA-treated structures indicate that the transfer efficiency coefficient and hand-loading estimates derived from the experimental study significantly overestimate the amount that occurs during actual play. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to assess the feasibility of using child hand-loading data in the SHEDS-Wood model and their impact on exposure estimates. METHODS: We used data generated by the larger of the studies of children in SHEDS-Wood, instead of the distributions used by U.S. EPA. We compared our estimates of the lifetime average daily dose (LADD) and average daily dose (ADD) with those derived by the U.S. EPA. RESULTS: Our analysis indicates that data from observational studies of children can be used in SHEDS-Wood. Our estimates of the mean (and 95th percentile) LADD and ADD were 27% (10%) and 29% (15%) of the estimates derived by U.S. EPA. CONCLUSION: We recommend that the SHEDS-Woods model use data from studies of children actively playing on playsets to more accurately estimate children's actual exposures to CCA.

T1  - Constraints on transport and weathering of petroleum contamination at Casey Station, Antarctica
AN  - 20840529; 7458131
AB  - There is a common perception that terrestrial fuel spills in Antarctica are long lived and that plumes naturally degrade very slowly. However, previous studies have isolated hydrocarbon degrading microbes from many Antarctic soils and biodegradation has been documented at low temperatures in the laboratory. A detailed study of an old fuel spill at Casey Station, Antarctica, indicates that fuel has migrated down a small catchment into the marine environment. By integrating chemical signatures indicative of evaporation and biodegradation with environmental parameters it is possible to correlate natural attenuation and dispersal of the spill within the catchment. GIS terrain modelling techniques are used to explore the spatial patterns of biodegradation and evaporation in relation to slope, solar radiation, surface wetness, and landform properties.

T1  - Relationship between abundance of rodents and damage to agricultural crops
AN  - 20720543; 8261119
AB  - Developing a relationship between pest abundance and damage to crops is essential for the calculation of economic injury levels (EIL) leading to informed management decisions. The crop modelling framework, APSIM, was used to simulate the impact of mouse damage on yield loss on wheat where a long-term dataset on the density of mice was available (1983-2003). The model was calibrated using results from field trials where wheat plants were hand clipped to imitate mouse damage. The grazing effect of mice was estimated using the population density, daily intake per mouse and the proportion of wheat grain and plant tissue in the diet to determine yield loss. The mean yield loss caused by mice was 12.4% (+ /-5.4S.E.; range -0.5 to 96%). There were 7/21 years when yield loss was >5%. A damage/abundance relationship was constructed and a sigmoidal curve explained 97% of variation when accounting for different trajectories of mouse densities from sowing to harvest. The majority of damage occurred around emergence of the crop when mouse densities were >100miceha super(-) super(1). This is the first time that field data on mouse density and a crop simulation model have been combined to estimate yield loss. The model examines the efficacy of baiting and how to estimate EILs. Because the broadscale application of zinc phosphide is cheap and effective, the EIL is very low (<1% yield loss). The APSIM model is highly flexible and could be used for other vertebrate pests in a range of crops or pastures to develop density/damage relationships and to assist with management.

It also can be recalibrated in situ. ICP transduction via fiberoptic or micro strain gauge devices placed in ventricular catheters provide similar benefits, but at a higher cost.

AB  - Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is routinely used for patients with severe TBI. ICP is influenced by several factors that affect the pressure-volume relationship. However, monitoring ICP gives only limited information regarding other factors known to be important to the pathophysiology of TBI, such as cerebral blood flow and metabolism. The development of additional monitoring systems to provide information regarding cerebral blood flow and metabolism has been a long-standing aim in neurocritical care.

AB  - There are still few studies specifically addressing the impact of nutrition on traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcome. The effects of TBI on metabolism and nitrogen wasting have been studied most thoroughly. Prior to the 1980s, there were occasional case reports of hypermetabolism in TBI. The general attitude toward nutritional replacement was based on the assumption that, due to coma, metabolic requirements were reduced. However, over the last 25 years, numerous studies have documented hypermetabolism and nitrogen wasting in TBI patients.

AB  - There is a substantial body of evidence that systemic hypotension independently increases the morbidity and mortality from TBI, both clinical and histological. CPP has been used as an index of the input pressure determining cerebral blood flow and therefore perfusion. CPP is defined as the MAP minus the ICP. It has long proven its value as a perfusion parameter in physiological studies. Its clinical use as a monitoring parameter burgeoned in the late 1980s in parallel with the concept that induced hypertension may improve outcome.

T1  - IV. Infection Prophylaxis
AN  - 204497004; 17511541
AB  - In severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, the incidence of infection is increased with mechanical ventilation and invasive monitoring techniques. Infections contribute to morbidity, mortality, and increased hospital length of stay. For example, as many as 70% of mechanically ventilated patients can develop pneumonia, and ICP monitoring infection rates can be as high as 27%. While there is no current evidence that short-term use of ICP monitors leads to increased morbidity and mortality, health care costs can increase with device reinsertion and administration of antibiotics.

T1  - II. Hyperosmolar Therapy
AN  - 204491542; 17511539
AB  - Mannitol is widely used in the control of raised ICP following TBI. Its use is advocated in two circumstances. First, a single administration can have short term beneficial effects, during which further diagnostic procedures (e.g., CT scan) and interventions (e.g., evacuation of intracranial mass lesions) can be accomplished. Second, mannitol has been used as a prolonged therapy for raised ICP. There is, however, a lack of evidence to recommend repeated, regular administration of mannitol over several days.

T1  - XIV. Hyperventilation
AN  - 204491075; 17511553
AB  - Aggressive hyperventilation (arterial PaCO2 25 mm Hg) has been a cornerstone in the management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) for more than 20 years because it can cause a rapid reduction of ICP. Brain swelling and elevated ICP develop in 40% of patients with severe TBI, and high or uncontrolled ICP is one of the most common causes of death and neurologic disability after TBI. Therefore, the assumption has been made that hyperventilation benefits all patients with severe TBI.

T1  - VI. Indications for Intracranial Pressure Monitoring
AN  - 204488541; 17511544
AB  - It is now clear that only part of the damage to the brain during TBI occurs at the moment of impact. Numerous secondary insults compound the initial damage in the ensuing hours and days. The main objective of intensive monitoring is to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion and oxygenation and avoid secondary injury while the brain recovers. Cerebral perfusion is reduced and poorer outcomes are associated with systemic hypotension and intracranial hypertension (ICH).

AN  - 204488480; 17511552
AB  - Anticonvulsants are indicated to decrease the incidence of early posttraumatic seizures (PTS). PTSs are classified as early, occurring within 7 days of injury, or late, occurring after 7 days following injury. It is desirable to prevent both early and late PTS. However, it is also desirable to avoid neurobehavioral and other side effects of medications, particularly if they are ineffective in preventing seizures.

T1  - XI. Anesthetics, Analgesics, and Sedatives
AN  - 204488418; 17511550
AB  - A variety of pharmacological agents have been advocated to treat pain and agitation in the traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient. It is felt beneficial to minimize painful or noxious stimuli as well as agitation as they may potentially contribute to elevations in ICP, raises in blood pressure, body temperature elevations and resistance to controlled ventilation. Until recently the primary concern over the utilization of these agents has been related to their tendency to obscure the neurologic exam, with a secondary concern over potential adverse hemodynamic effects.

T1  - VIII. Intracranial Pressure Thresholds
AN  - 204453928; 17511546
AB  - The impact of ICP on outcome from severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) appears to lie in its role in determining cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and as an indicator of mass effect. Since CPP can be managed by manipulation of arterial pressure to a great extent, the issue of herniation is more determinant of the ICP threshold.

T1  - A novel serovar of Shigella dysenteriae from patients with diarrhoea in Bangladesh
AN  - 20128550; 7400805
AB  - Every year, around 3% of isolates from patients with diarrhoea at Dhaka Hospital, ICDDR,B, are identified as Shigella-like organisms (SLOs) based on their activity in biochemical tests. These isolates do not react with any of the current Shigella antisera including all existing and provisional serotypes. Among these SLOs, a unique cluster of seven isolates with an identical plasmid profile was found and these isolates were further characterized by phenotypic and genotypic techniques. All were nonlactose fermenters, with an identical biochemical pattern typical of Shigella dysenteriae. They were classified as invasive since they harboured the 140 MDa invasive plasmid, were able to bind Congo red, produced keratoconjunctivitis in the guinea pig eye, and were positive by PCR for the ipaH gene and Shigella enterotoxin 2 [ShET-2] gene. All isolates were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim but were susceptible to mecillinam, nalidixic acid, ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin. Six of the isolates were identical in DNA pattern by PFGE with the seventh exhibiting a closely related pattern; both patterns were distinguishable from all other Shigella and Escherichia coli patterns. An antiserum prepared against one of the isolates reacted with all isolates and did not cross-react with other Shigella and E. coli serotype reference strains. It is therefore proposed that these isolates represent a new provisional serovar of S. dysenteriae, type strain KIVI 162.

T1  - Effect of dilution rate on the microbial structure of a mesophilic butyrate-degrading methanogenic community during continuous cultivation
AN  - 20097279; 7471715
AB  - We constructed two mesophilic anaerobic chemostats that were continuously fed with synthetic wastewater containing butyrate as the sole source of carbon and energy. Steady-state conditions were achieved at dilution rates between 0.025 and 0.7 day super(-1). Butyrate, fed into the chemostat, was almost completely mineralized to CH sub(4) and CO sub(2) at dilution rates below 0.5 day super(-1). The butyrate-degrading methanogenic communities in the chemostats at dilution rates between 0.025 and 0.7 day super(-1) were monitored based on the 16S rRNA gene, using molecular biological techniques including clone library analysis, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The aceticlastic methanogen Methanosaeta and the hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanoculleus dominated in methanogens at low dilution rates, whereas the aceticlastic methanogen Methanosaeta, Methanosarcina, the hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanoculleus, and Methanospirillum dominated at high dilution rates. Bacteria affiliated with the family Syntrophaceae in the phylum Proteobacteria predominated at the low dilution rate of 0.025 day super(-1), whereas bacteria affiliated with the phylum Firmicutes and Candidate division OP3 predominated at high dilution rates. A significant quantity of bacteria closely related to the genus Syntrophomonas was detected at high dilution rates. Dilution rate showed an apparent effect on archaeal and bacterial communities in the butyrate-fed chemostats.

T1  - Frequency change-induced alternative potential waveform dependence of membrane damage to cells cultured on an electrode surface
AN  - 19706856; 7496753
AB  - In the present study, alternative potential stimulation with rectangular pulse, sine and triangular waveforms at 10 and 100Hz was applied to cells cultured on an ITO electrode. As a result, we found that the alternating potential waveform dependence induced by the frequency on membrane damage of cells cultured on an electrode surface. The cell membrane damage was promoted by a rectangular pulse wave in comparison with sine and triangular waves, when alternating electrical potentials of 0 to +1.0V at 100Hz were loaded. In contrast, this waveform dependence was not observed when the frequency was 10Hz. Furthermore, it was found that cell membrane damage was induced at positive potentials more than +0.8V under the present experimental conditions.

T1  - Depth-mediated reversal of the effects of climate change on long-term growth rates of exploited marine fish
AN  - 19667224; 7421092
AB  - The oceanographic consequences of climate change are increasingly well documented, but the biological impacts of this change on marine species much less so, in large part because of few long-term data sets. Using otolith analysis, we reconstructed historical changes in annual growth rates for the juveniles of eight long-lived fish species in the southwest Pacific, from as early as 1861. Six of the eight species show significant changes in growth rates during the last century, with the pattern differing systematically with depth. Increasing temperatures near the ocean surface correlate with increasing growth rates by species found in depths 1,000 m) species have declined substantially during the last century, which correlates with evidence of long-term cooling at these depths. The observations suggest that global climate change has enhanced some elements of productivity of the shallow-water stocks but also has reduced the productivity, and possibly the resilience, of the already slow-growing deep-water species.

T1  - Arsenic in Drinking Water: Regulatory Developments and Issues
AN  - 19662677; 9010227
AB  - In 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a new regulation for arsenic in drinking water, as required by 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments. The rule set the legal limit for arsenic in tap water at 10 parts per billion (ppb), replacing a 50 ppb standard set in 1975, before arsenic was classified as a carcinogen. When issuing the rule, the EPA projected that compliance could be costly for some small systems, but many water utilities and communities expressed concern that the EPA had underestimated the rule's costs significantly. The arsenic rule was to enter into effect on March 23, 2001, and public water systems were given until January 23, 2006, to comply. Subsequently, the EPA postponed the rule's effective date to February 22, 2002, to review the science and cost and benefit analyses supporting the rule. After completing the review in October 2001, the EPA affirmed the 10 ppb standard. The new standard became enforceable for water systems in January 2006. Since the rule was completed, Congress and the EPA have focused on how to help communities comply with the new standard. In the past several Congresses, numerous bills have been offered to provide more financial and technical assistance and/or compliance flexibility to small systems; however, none of the bills has been enacted.

T1  - Analyzing microarray data using CLANS
AN  - 19660896; 7415381
AB  - SUMMARY: Analysis of microarray experiments is complicated by the huge amount of data involved. Searching for groups of co-expressed genes is akin to searching for protein families in a database as, in both cases, small subsets of genes with similar features are to be found within vast quantities of data. CLANS was originally developed to find protein families in large sets of amino acid sequences where the amount of data involved made phylogenetic approaches overly cumbersome. We present a number of improvements that greatly extend the previous version of CLANS and show its application to microarray data as well as its ability of incorporating additional information to facilitate interactive analysis.

T1  - Discriminating Between Isolates of PSbMV Using Nucleotide Sequence Polymorphisms in the HC-Pro Coding Region
AN  - 19658497; 7396059
AB  - The molecular diversity of 14 isolates of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) from southern Australia, 13 previously described isolates from Pakistan, and a reference isolate from the United States have been studied to determine whether a relatively simple molecular diagnostic assay and classification scheme could be developed for this virus. The Australian isolates were placed into either pathotype P1 or pathotype P4 by bioassay on differential genotypes of Pisum sativum. The Pakistani isolates represented pathotypes P1, P4, U1, and U2, and an undetermined pathotype. The reference US isolate was pathotype P1. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay based on an amplicon from the variable HC-Pro coding region of poty-viruses was shown to distinguish PSbMV from seven other legume infecting potyviruses. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) generated from the HC-Pro RT-PCR products of all 28 isolates using seven restriction endonucleases placed them into eight groups. A phy-logenetic tree based on a Bray-Curtis similarity comparison placed the groups into three clusters. The groups and clusters had no clear association with either pathotype or geographic source. It is concluded that within the range of viruses and isolates tested, the RT-PCR-RFLP method will both specifically identify PSbMV and provide a simple, qualitative, and rapid means for placing PSbMV isolates into groups. Applications could include mapping and tracking isolates in space and time.

T1  - Mucosal and Systemic Immune Responses in Patients with Diarrhea Due to CS6-Expressing Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
AN  - 19657884; 7406164
AB  - Colonization factor CS6 expressed by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a nonfimbrial polymeric protein. A substantial proportion of ETEC strains isolated from patients in endemic settings and in people who travel to regions where ETEC is endemic are ETEC strains expressing CS6, either alone or in combination with fimbrial colonization factor CS5 or CS4. However, relatively little is known about the natural immune responses elicited against CS6 expressed by ETEC strains causing disease. We studied patients who were hospitalized with diarrhea (n = 46) caused by CS6-expressing ETEC (ETEC expressing CS6 or CS5 plus CS6) and had a disease spectrum ranging from severe dehydration (27%) to moderate or mild dehydration (73%). Using recombinant CS6 antigen, we found that more than 90% of the patients had mucosal immune responses to CS6 expressed as immunoglobulin (IgA) antibody-secreting cells (ASC) or antibody in lymphocyte supernatant (ALS) and that about 57% responded with CS6-specific IgA antibodies in feces. More than 80% of the patients showed IgA seroconversion to CS6. Significant increases in the levels of anti-CS6 antibodies of the IgG isotype were also observed in assays for ASC (75%), ALS (100%), and serum (70%). These studies demonstrated that patients hospitalized with the noninvasive enteric pathogen CS6-expressing ETEC responded with both mucosal and systemic antibodies against CS6. Studies are needed to determine if the anti-CS6 responses protect against reinfection and if protective levels of CS6 immunity are induced by vaccination.

T1  - Educational Freedom in the Wake of No Child Left Behind
AN  - 58764752; 2007-17895
AB  - No Child Left Behind was the largest federal intrusion into K-12 education since creation of the Department of Education, and federally driven testing requirements cannot replace an educational marketplace in which schools are accountable to parents. Letting the states exercise freedom in education policymaking would cut red tape, restore federalism, and allow for true local accountability.

T1  - Correlates of driving under the influence of cannabis
AN  - 57080153; 200720824
AB  - Background Identifying cannabis users who are most at risk of driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) has important implications for drug treatment and prevention efforts. This paper examined correlates of DUIC among a purposive sample of recent cannabis users. Methods Interviews were carried out among a cross-sectional sample of 320 Australian cannabis users. Past-year prevalence of DUIC (without using alcohol or other drugs) was regressed against a range of potential predictor variables. Results Use of multiple drugs, believing that DUIC does not increase accident risk and cannabis dependence all predicted likelihood of DUIC. There was an interaction between age of first cannabis use and gender, whereby earlier onset cannabis use predicted DUIC but only among women. Conclusions The correlates of drug driving reflected cannabis users' beliefs about the dangers of cannabis use as well as their patterns of drug consumption. The emergence of cannabis dependence and age of onset as predictors of DUIC suggests a clearly defined role for treatment and prevention efforts in reducing the potential harms associated with DUIC.

T1  - Spatial variability of particulates in homes: implications for infant exposure.
AN  - 70282737; 17313972
AB  - Personal monitoring of particulate matter (PM) exposure in infants is difficult. Indirect, microenvironment modelling methods are more practical. Infants spend most of their time indoors at home and the aim of this study was to investigate spatial variations in PM concentrations within homes. Three size fractions of PM - particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 microm (PM(10)), less than 2.5 microm (PM(2.5)) and total suspended particulates (TSP) - were monitored in the homes of 77 infants (0-2 years) using a multi-stage virtual impactor. In all homes PM was monitored simultaneously in the main living room at heights of 1.4 m and 0.2 m from the floor. In 26 of these homes monitoring was also conducted simultaneously in the infant's bedroom. Further, PM(10) was measured simultaneously in the living room, bedroom and child's cot in 14 homes using a real-time photometer. All homes in the study were non-smoking households. On average, there were no significant differences between concentrations of any of the different PM size fractions measured at the two heights (living room) and between living room and bedroom concentrations. However, there were only moderate correlations in concentrations between the different microenvironments and in some homes there was considerable variation between sampling sites. From the real-time measurements there seemed to be good agreement between concentrations measured in different rooms and in the cot and short-term peak concentrations at one sampling site were often mirrored at other sites. These results suggest that, although large variations in PM concentrations between rooms within homes can occur, a single monitoring station can provide a reasonable estimate of indoor concentrations.

AN  - 58749577; 2007-18962
AB  - America is going to have either a government-run health care system in which politicians and bureaucrats make the key decisions or a consumer-driven system in which key decisions are made by individuals and families. Presented with a clear choice, Americans will support a market-based program that is compatible with their values, particularly personal freedom and personal responsibility.

AN  - 58768309; 2007-17754
AB  - Current US nuclear warheads were deployed during the Cold War, and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) maintains them with a Life Extension Program (LEP), but Congress in 2004 mandated the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program to enhance the dependability of existing weapons and their parts. This report analyzes the debate between proponents of the LEP program vs those in favor of RRW. Appendixes.

T1  - Air Pollution and Mortality in Chile: Susceptibility among the Elderly
AN  - 746300265; 11415246
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The estimated mortality rate associated with ambient air pollution based on general population studies may not be representative of the effects on certain subgroups. The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of relatively high concentrations of air pollution on mortality in a general population sample and in the very elderly. STUDY DESIGN: Daily time-series analyses tested the association between daily air pollution and daily mortality in seven Chilean urban centers during 1997-2003. Results were adjusted for day of the week and humidex. RESULTS: Daily averaged particulate matter with aerodynamic matter 10 microm (PM(10)) was 84.88 microg/m(3), sulfur dioxide was 14.08 ppb, and carbon monoxide was 1.29 ppb. The 1-hr maximum ozone was 100.13 ppb. The percentage increases in nonaccidental mortality associated with an increase in PM(10) equivalent to its mean were 4.53 (t-ratio 1.52) for those 65 years and 14.03 (3.87) for those 85 years. Respective values were 4.96 (1.17) and 8.56 (2.02) for O(3); 4.77 (2.50) and 7.92 (3.23) for SO(2); and 4.10 (2.52) and 8.58 (4.45) for CO. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the very elderly are particularly susceptible to dying from air pollution. Concentrations deemed acceptable for the general population may not adequately protect the very elderly.

T1  - An evaluability assessment of a nutrition promotion project for newly arrived refugees
AN  - 742722111; 201013133
AB  - Issue addressed: This paper reports on the benefits of conducting an evaluability assessment for a nutrition promotion project for newly arrived refugees to Perth, Western Australia. The assessment was the first step in a planned outcome evaluation. It was undertaken to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding nutritional health and promotion for newly arrived refugees to Australia. Methods: Using semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, observation, presentations of early drafts of the program logic to key stakeholders and a review of the documentation, the analysis of qualitative data was used to make the project logic explicit and to better understand the project's underlying cause and effect relationships. Results: The analysis alongside a review of contemporary health promotion literature revealed that the original underlying project logic needed refinement. A more complex and relevant project logic was developed which confirmed that the project had the potential to achieve its goals of improving the nutritional status of refugees. Conclusions: The evaluability assessment gave stakeholders the opportunity to reflect on the project and its implementation issues. Importantly, it made more explicit the complexity of the context of the project and the need for a diverse range of strategies to improve nutrition. Finally, the diagrammatic representation of the reconstructed project logic provided a powerful advocacy tool for a multi-sectoral approach. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - People's beliefs about factors contributing to mental health: implications for mental health promotion
AN  - 742721266; 201013107
AB  - Issue Address: To quantify people's perceptions of mental health identified in qualitative research and to inform mental health promotion communication strategies. Methods: A statewide telephone survey of 1,500 adults was conducted in Western Australia using a structured questionnaire containing both open and closed-ended questions. Results: The vast majority of people had negative (or illness) connotations to the words 'mental health', but had positive connotations to the term 'mentally healthy person'. The three factors perceived to contribute most to being mentally healthy were: having good friends to talk problems over with; keeping one's mind active; and the opportunity to have control over one's life. The three factors perceived to contribute most to being mentally unhealthy were: excessive use of alcohol or drugs; having no friends or support network; and life crises or traumas. The phrase 'being content with who you are' best summed up good mental health. Older people generally placed greater emphasis than younger people on cognitive functioning and keeping physically healthy for good mental health. Conclusions: People's beliefs about factors influencing mental health are consistent with much of the literature. Communication components of mental health promotion interventions based on the data reported here would be viewed as credible and relevant by most people. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Antidepressants: prevalence of duplicate therapy and avoidable drug interactions in Australian veterans.
AN  - 70439532; 17464724
AB  - This study assessed the prevalence of duplicate antidepressant prescribing and avoidable potential antidepressant drug interactions in the Australian war veteran population.
          The Department of Veterans' Affairs Pharmacy Claims database was interrogated, using specific criteria, to identify antidepressant duplication. In addition, potential drug interactions where safer alternative therapies were available were assessed. These included anticholinergic agents with tricyclic antidepressants and tramadol with antidepressants. Episodic tramadol dispensings with antidepressants were also assessed. A total of 46,859 veterans had antidepressants regularly dispensed to them in the period 1 April-31 July 2005. Overall, 4037 potential interactions were identified in 3818 veterans (8.1%) to whom were dispensed antidepressants regularly. Antidepressant and tramadol co-prescribing was the most common potential interaction identified among 3.6% of veterans. Two or more interactions were identified in 212 veterans (0.5%). Analysis of episodic tramadol dispensings with antidepressants suggested a much higher prevalence of 7.7%.
          The increasing use of antidepressants and the high level of potentially avoidable interactions detected in the present study, highlight the necessity of ongoing vigilance concerning the use of potentially inappropriate drug combinations, particularly in the elderly.

T1  - Various stress proteins protect gastric mucosal cells against non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
AN  - 70420323; 17450445
AB  - Gastric mucosal cell death induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is suggested to be involved in NSAID-induced gastric lesions. Therefore, cellular factors that suppress this cell death are important for protection of the gastric mucosa from NSAIDs. When cells are exposed to various stressors, including NSAIDs, they induce a number of proteins, so-called stress proteins, in order to protect themselves against such stressors. Stress proteins contain cytosolic molecular chaperons (such as heat shock proteins), endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperons (such as glucose-regulated proteins) and heme oxygenase-1. We recently showed that (i) these stress proteins are up-regulated by NSAIDs both in vitro and in vivo; (ii) these up-regulation make gastric mucosal cells resistant to NSAIDs in vitro; (iii) these up-regulation protects the gastric mucosa from NSAID-induced gastric lesions in vivo. In this review, I summarize these results and propose that non-toxic inducers of these stress proteins are therapeutically beneficial as anti-ulcer drugs.

T1  - Mutagenesis of a conserved fusion peptide-like motif and membrane-proximal heptad-repeat region of hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E1.
AN  - 70293495; 17374757
AB  - The E1E2 glycoprotein heterodimer of Hepatitis C virus mediates viral entry. E2 attaches the virus to cellular receptors; however, the function of E1 is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that E1 is a truncated class II fusion protein. We mutated amino acids within a predicted fusion peptide (residues 276-286) and a truncated C-terminal stem-like motif, containing a membrane-proximal heptad-repeat sequence (residues 330-347). The fusion peptide mutation F285A abolished viral entry, while mutation of other hydrophobic residues had no effect. Alanine replacement of heptad-repeat residues blocked entry in three of five cases, whereas substitution with the helix breaker, Pro, led to loss of entry function in all cases. The mutations did not affect glycoprotein expression, heterodimerization with E2 or global folding, in contrast to the effects of mutations in the fusion motifs of prototypical class II fusion proteins. Our data suggest that E1 is unlikely to function in an analogous manner to other class II fusion glycoproteins.

T1  - Evaluation of dioxin-like chemicals in pooled human milk samples collected in Australia.
AN  - 70260580; 17292451
AB  - Human milk samples were collected and analysed for the levels of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and selected dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In total, 157 individual samples collected during 2002 and 2003 as well as 24 samples collected in 1993 were analysed as 20 pools.
          PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs were detected in all pooled samples. For samples collected during 2002/2003, the TEQ(DFP) ranged from 6.0 to 15.2 pg TEQ g(-1) lipid with an average of 9.0 pg TEQ g(-1) lipid. The average lipid content was 3.7+/-0.5%. No systematic differences were observed in the levels of PCDDs, PCDFs and PCBs in human milk samples collected from different regions of Australia during 2002/2003. For samples collected in 1993 and analysed as pools, the mean level, expressed as TEQ(DFP) was 16+/-1.4 pg TEQ g(-1) lipid. The average lipid content was 3.9+/-0.7%. The levels of PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs in the human milk of Australian women are both low compared to international levels and similar across all regions of Australia. Consistent with world-wide trends, the levels of PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs have decreased over a 10 year period from 1993 to 2003 by approximately 40%.

T1  - Case study of volatile organic compounds in indoor air of a house before and after repair where sick building syndrome occurred.
AN  - 68337470; 17903361
AB  - A housewife in her late thirties, mother of two children, had an indefinite complaint about the indoor air quality of her house. Inspectors from a public health center treating the housewife's complaint quantified formaldehyde (FA) in high concentration exceeding Japanese national guideline of FA in some rooms of the house. We also determined FA and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in higher concentrations more than the national guidelines. Remodeling of the house was performed to improve the air quality as follows. Vinyl wallpaper was exchanged to plant made paper, plywood made doors were exchanged to pure wood made doors, plywood stairs were covered with plant cork and so on. After remodeling the house, we measured the concentrations of FA and TVOCs again. The concentrations of the chemicals in the indoor air decreased which approve effectiveness of the remodeling. Moreover complaints of the housewife lessened. This also proved the effectiveness of the remodeling. Four years after the inspection, we visited the house again and found that the concentration of FA in the house was still lower than that of national guideline. The housewife was evaluated in a good healthy condition by her answers to our questions related to indoor air quality, daily life, physical condition, and so on.

T1  - Subjective symptoms of medical students exposed to formaldehyde during a gross anatomy dissection course.
AN  - 68336964; 17903352
AB  - The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of and to try to find the best plan to cope with exposure to FA for students during a gross anatomy dissection course. The FA exposure level and subjective symptoms was estimated. The relationship between exposure to FA and subjective symptoms of irritation were discussed for times; before, in the beginning period, in the middle period, and upon completion of the Anatomy Dissection Course. The geometric means of FA concentration were 32.7 micrograms/m3 (before), 891.3 micrograms/m3 (beginning), 763.3 micrograms/m3 (middle), and 238.9 micrograms/m3 (completion), respectively. Among them, FA-related symptoms were observed in 61.1 percent; 28.0 percent fell strong stress during the course, and 27.4 percent complained that their normal life situation was affected. Our results indicate that such subjective symptoms during the anatomy dissection course were related to the period spent in the anatomy dissection room. Our study suggests that shortening the time of each anatomy dissection practical class and reduction of the number of cadaver tables could help to reduce symptoms.

T1  - Mercury in seafood: mechanisms of accumulation and consequences for consumer health.
AN  - 68312217; 17894202
AB  - Mercury is a largely uncontrollable heavy metal contaminant in that it is globally ubiquitous, and environmentally persistent. The element has the potential for global mobilization following liberation from environmental stores, which can occur as a consequence of either anthropogenic activities or natural processes. Furthermore, organic forms like methylmercury accumulate in biological tissues with an exceptionally long biological half-life, facilitating the magnification of this toxin along trophic food chains. Bioaccumulation is particularly evident in aquatic environments, in which long-lived piscivorous fishes and marine mammals are reported with a mercury burden one-million times that of the surrounding water body, typically attaining mercury burdens exceeding 1 microg g(-1). Mercury levels in other seafood, however, are typically reported in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 microg g(-1) and usually less then 0.5 microg g(-1). The primary source of human exposure to environmental mercury is through seafood consumption. The dangers associated with the consumption of large amounts of methylmercury accumulated in seafood are well recognized from past poisoning incidents, in which fish with mercury burdens in the range of 9 to 24 microg g(-1) were consumed. Nevertheless, the toxicological consequence of chronic low-level mercury exposure from habitual seafood consumption is an area of contention. This review discusses the mechanisms of mercury accumulation and distribution in fish tissues and the toxicological consequences of mercury exposure from seafood consumption with regard to international safety guidelines.

T1  - The multi-touch tipping point for reading online.
AN  - 57693423; 200802748
AB  - The availability of the multi-touch interface, such as those seen in the new iPhone and iPods, heralds the dawn of an age where nearly everything will be read from screens. Multi-touch is the ability to interact directly with a screenas surface with both hands, providing a far richer palette of user interface patterns than any of us have ever seen before. Instead of just clicking on buttons and links, cutting and pasting text, or sliding scrolibars up and down, multi-touch allows users to practically 'grab' the items seen on a screen with one or both hands and move them around, reshape, connect, and combine them with a range of hand motions.

AB  - Comments on the proliferation of various competing standards for files and file formats, including those for metadata, search protocols, invoicing and payments, and resource sharing in libraries. There are also hardware standards for connecting peripheral devices, the layout of the keyboard, and the aspect ratio of the screen, and operating systems use standards to regulate communication between system components, programs and the kernel, and devices on the network. Applications make use of all these and use their own standards for instant messaging, typefaces, and file names. Looks at the lessons learned from the healthcare data exchange standard HL7 (Health Level Seven), as well as issues to consider when evaluating today's standards. (Quotes from original text)

T1  - Actualized preservation threats: practical lessons from chronicling America.
AN  - 57685993; 200801527
AB  - In October 2006, the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress (LC), released a beta of Chronicling America to a limited audience. The three goals for the program are to support the digitization of historically significant newspapers, facilitate public access via a Web site, and provide for the long-term preservation of these materials by constructing a digital repository. Chronicling America supports the latter two goals by providing access to more than 226,000 digitized pages of public domain newspapers from California, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Utah, Virginia and the District of Columbia published between 1900 and 1910. This article articulates some lessons learned about the long-term preservation of digital content, since during the development phase a number of preservation threats have been actualized.

T1  - Comparative analysis of material flows in low input carp and poultry farming: an overview of concepts and methodology
AN  - 21321940; 12339550
AB  - An overview is given of existing approaches and applications to account for the flow of materials within and in association with low input farming of fish and livestock, notably of carp and poultry. Statistical methods describe or quantify the effect of environmental and management factors on fish growth and yield, and the interactions between these variables. Other methods are bioresource-flow accounting ('resource-flow diagrams'), energy and nutrient flow budgeting, mass balance modelling and dynamic simulation modeling. Some of these tools were specifically designated to assess sustainability, notably of integrated agriculture-aquaculture farming systems, others to enable a wide range of system-analytical functions and purposes.

T1  - Ontogenetic Alterations in Molecular and Structural Correlates of Dendritic Growth after Developmental Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls
AN  - 21178525; 11415241
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Perinatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is associated with decreased IQ scores, impaired learning and memory, psychomotor difficulties, and attentional deficits in children. It is postulated that these neuropsychological deficits reflect altered patterns of neuronal connectivity. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of developmental PCB exposure on dendritic growth. METHODS: Rat dams were gavaged from gestational day 6 through postnatal day (PND) 21 with vehicle (corn oil) or the commercial PCB mixture Aroclor 1254 (6 mg/kg/day). Dendritic growth and molecular markers were examined in pups during development. RESULTS: Golgi analyses of CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cells indicated that developmental exposure to PCBs caused a pronounced age-related increase in dendritic growth. Thus, even though dendritic lengths were significantly attenuated in PCB-treated animals at PND22, the rate of growth was accelerated at later ages such that by PND60, dendritic growth was comparable to or even exceeded that observed in vehicle controls. Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that from PND4 through PND21, PCBs generally increased expression of both spinophilin and RC3/neurogranin mRNA in the hippocampus, cerebellum, and cortex with the most significant increases observed in the cortex. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that developmental PCB exposure alters the ontogenetic profile of dendritogenesis in critical brain regions, supporting the hypothesis that disruption of neuronal connectivity contributes to neuropsychological deficits seen in exposed children.

T1  - Urinary Arsenic Metabolites in Children and Adults Exposed to Arsenic in Drinking Water in Inner Mongolia, China
AN  - 21178482; 11415228
AB  - BACKGROUND: We report the concentrations and distributions of urinary arsenic (As) metabolites in 233 residents exposed to 20, 90, or 160 microg/L inorganic arsenic (iAs) in drinking water from three villages in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, that formed one control and two exposed groups. METHODS: We used hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) to determine iAs, monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA). RESULTS: The concentrations of each urinary As species in the two exposed groups were significantly higher than in the control group for both children and adults. Both children and adults in exposed groups had higher percent iAs and MMA and lower percent DMA, and low primary and secondary methylation indices (PMI and SMI, respectively) than those in the control group. However, children showed significant increases in percent DMA and the SMI as well as decreases in the percent MMA when the iAs exposure level increased from 90 to 160 microg/L. In addition, children in the two exposed groups showed lower percent MMA but higher percent DMA and higher SMI than adults in the same exposed group. No significant differences in As metabolite concentrations and distributions were found between males and females in each group. A significant correlation was also found in the SMI between 11 pairs of children and their mothers from the 160-microg/L-exposed group. CONCLUSIONS: Children had higher a capacity for secondary methylation of As than adults when exposed to the same concentrations of iAs in drinking water. Exposure to As may increase the capacity for methylation in children to some extent.

T1  - Arsenic and Fluoride Exposure in Drinking Water: Children's IQ and Growth in Shanyin County, Shanxi Province, China
AN  - 21177209; 11415229
AB  - BACKGROUND: Recently, in a cross-sectional study of 201 children in Araihazar, Bangladesh, exposure to arsenic (As) in drinking water has been shown to lower the scores on tests that measure children's intellectual function before and after adjustment for sociodemographic features. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of As and fluoride exposure on children's intelligence and growth. METHODS: We report the results of a study of 720 children between 8 and 12 years of age in rural villages in Shanyin county, Shanxi province, China. The children were exposed to As at concentrations of 142 +/- 106 microg/L (medium-As group) and 190 +/- 183 microg/L (high-As group) in drinking water compared with the control group that was exposed to low concentrations of As (2 +/- 3 microg/L) and low concentrations of fluoride (0.5 +/- 0.2 mg/L). A study group of children exposed to high concentrations of fluoride (8.3 +/- 1.9 mg/L) but low concentrations of As (3 +/- 3 microg/L) was also included because of the common occurrence of elevated concentrations of fluoride in groundwater in our study area. A standardized IQ (intelligence quotient) test was modified for children in rural China and was based on the classic Raven's test used to determine the effects of these exposures on children's intelligence. A standardized measurement procedure for weight, height, chest circumference, and lung capacity was used to determine the effects of these exposures on children's growth. RESULTS: The mean IQ scores decreased from 105 +/- 15 for the control group, to 101 +/- 16 for the medium-As group (p 0.05), and to 95 +/- 17 for the high-As group (p 0.01). The mean IQ score for the high-fluoride group was 101 +/- 16 and significantly different from that of the control group (p 0.05). Children in the control group were taller than those in the high-fluoride group (p 0.05); weighed more than the those in the high-As group (p 0.05); and had higher lung capacity than those in the medium-As group (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Children's intelligence and growth can be affected by high concentrations of As or fluoride. The IQ scores of the children in the high-As group were the lowest among the four groups we investigated. It is more significant that high concentrations of As affect children's intelligence. It indicates that arsenic exposure can affect children's intelligence and growth.

T1  - Up-regulation of Tissue Factor in Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells after Ultrafine Particle Exposure
AN  - 21170816; 11415244
AB  - BACKGROUND: Epidemiology studies have linked exposure to pollutant particles to increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, but the mechanisms remain unknown. OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that the ultrafine fraction of ambient pollutant particles would cause endothelial cell dysfunction. METHODS: We profiled gene expression of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC) exposed to ultrafine particles (UFPs; 100 microg/mL) from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, or vehicle for 4 hr with Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 chips (n = 4 each). RESULTS: We found 320 up-regulated genes and 106 down-regulated genes (p 0.01, 5% false discovery rate). We noted up-regulation of genes related to coagulation [tissue factor (F3) and coagulation factor II receptor-like 2 (F2RL2)] and differential regulation of genes related to F3 signaling (FOS, JUN, and NFKBIA). Results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction show a significant up-regulation of F3 after 10 and 100 microg/mLUFP exposures. Additionally, the water-soluble fractions of UFPs were sufficient to induce the expression of F3, F2RL2, and heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1). Treatment of HPAEC with UFPs for 16 hr increased the release of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. Pretreatment of HPAEC with a blocking antibody against F3 attenuated IL-6 and IL-8 release by 30 and 70%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Using gene profiling, we discovered that UFPs may induce vascular endothelial cells to express genes related to clotting. These results indicate that PM may cause adverse cardiovascular health effects by activating coagulation-inflammation circuitry.

T1  - Mammary Gland Development as a Sensitive End Point after Acute Prenatal Exposure to an Atrazine Metabolite Mixture in Female Long-Evans Rats
AN  - 21169421; 11415243
AB  - BACKGROUND: Atrazine (ATR), a widely used chlorotriazine herbicide, inhibits a number of endocrine-dependent processes, including gonadotrophin surges and mammary gland development in rats. Chlorotriazine herbicides are rapidly metabolized in plants and animals to form a group of metabolites that are detected both in the environment and in exposed animals. The extent to which these metabolites are responsible directly for the observed health effects is not understood. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to determine if a mixture of ATR metabolites, in proportions found in the environment, might produce developmental effects in Long-Evans rats following exposure late in pregnancy. METHODS: We administered an ATR metabolite mixture (AMM) containing ATR, hydroxyatrazine, diaminochlorotriazine, deethylatrazine, and deisopropylatrazine orally to pregnant Long-Evans rats at 0.09, 0.87, or 8.73 mg/kg body weight (bw)/day, on gestation days 15-19, using 0 and 100 mg ATR/kg bw/day as negative and positive controls, respectively. RESULTS: We observed no significant effect of acute AMM exposure on body weight gain in dams during the dosing period, weight loss in pups on postnatal day (PND)4, or pubertal timing, as is seen with ATR alone. However, as with ATR, we detected delayed mammary gland development, evaluated by whole mount analysis, as early as PND4 in all treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that acute exposure to AMM at levels as low as 0.09 mg/kg bw during late pregnancy causes persistent alterations in mammary gland development of female offspring, and that these effects do not appear to be related to bw or associated with pubertal timing.

T1  - Using Nutrition for Intervention and Prevention against Environmental Chemical Toxicity and Associated Diseases
AN  - 21155458; 11415251
AB  - BACKGROUND: Nutrition and lifestyle are well-defined modulators of chronic diseases. Poor dietary habits (such as high intake of processed foods rich in fat and low intake of fruits and vegetables), as well as a sedentary lifestyle clearly contribute to today's compromised quality of life in the United States. It is becoming increasingly clear that nutrition can modulate the toxicity of environmental pollutants. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this commentary is to discuss the recommendation that nutrition should be considered a necessary variable in the study of human disease associated with exposure to environmental pollutants. DISCUSSION: Certain diets can contribute to compromised health by being a source of exposure to environmental toxic pollutants. Many of these pollutants are fat soluble, and thus fatty foods often contain higher levels of persistent organics than does vegetable matter. Nutrition can dictate the lipid milieu, oxidative stress, and antioxidant status within cells. The modulation of these parameters by an individual's nutritional status may have profound affects on biological processes, and in turn influence the effects of environmental pollutants to cause disease or dysfunction. For example, potential adverse health effects associated with exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls may increase as a result of ingestion of certain dietary fats, whereas ingestion of fruits and vegetables, rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients or bioactive compounds, may provide protection. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend that future directions in environmental health research explore this nutritional paradigm that incorporates a consideration of the relationships between nutrition and lifestyle, exposure to environmental toxicants, and disease. Nutritional interventions may provide the most sensible means to develop primary prevention strategies of diseases associated with many environmental toxic insults.

T1  - Genetic Polymorphisms Influencing Arsenic Metabolism: Evidence from Argentina
AN  - 21151995; 11415235
AB  - The susceptibility to arsenic-induced diseases differs greatly between individuals, possibly due to interindividual variations in As metabolism that affect retention and distribution of toxic metabolites. To elucidate the role of genetic factors in As metabolism, we studied how polymorphisms in six genes affected the urinary metabolite pattern in a group of indigenous women (n = 147) in northern Argentina who were exposed to approximately 200 microg/L As in drinking water. These women had low urinary percentages of monomethylated As (MMA) and high percentages of dimethylated As (DMA). MMA has been associated with adverse health effects, and DMA has the lowest body retention of the metabolites. The genes studied were arsenic(+III)methyltransferase (AS3MT), glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and glutathione S-transferases mu 1 (GSTM1) and theta 1 (GSTT1). We found three intronic polymorphisms in AS3MT (G12390C, C14215T, and G35991A) associated with a lower percentage of MMA (%MMA) and a higher percentage of DMA (%DMA) in urine. The variant homozygotes showed approximately half the %MMA compared with wild-type homozygotes. These polymorphisms were in strong linkage, with high allelic frequencies (72-76%) compared with other populations. We also saw minor effects of other polymorphisms in the multivariate regression analysis with effect modification for the deletion genotypes for GSTM1 (affecting %MMA) and GSTT1 (affecting %MMA and %DMA). For pregnant women, effect modification was seen for the folate-metabolizing genes MTR and MTHFR. In conclusion, these findings indicate that polymorphisms in AS3MT-and possibly GSTM1, GSTT1, MTR, and MTHFR-are responsible for a large part of the interindividual variation in As metabolism and susceptibility.

T1  - Elevated Blood Lead Concentrations and Vitamin D Deficiency in Winter and Summer in Young Urban Children
AN  - 21151967; 11415231
AB  - BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that blood lead concentrations are higher in the summer than in winter. Although the effects of some environmental factors such as lead in dust on this phenomenon have been studied, relationships to sunlight-induced vitamin D synthesis have not been adequately investigated. Vitamin D status is influenced by the diet, sunlight exposure, age, skin pigmentation, and other factors, and may modify gastrointestinal lead absorption or release of lead stored in bones into the bloodstream. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: We collected paired blood samples from 142 young, urban African-American and Hispanic children in the winter and summer to study the seasonal increase in blood lead and its relationships to vitamin D nutrition, age, and race. RESULTS: A winter/summer (W/S) increase in blood lead concentrations of 32.4% was found for children 1-3 years of age. There was a smaller W/S increase of 13.0% in children 4-8 years of age. None of the 51 Hispanic children had an elevated blood lead concentration ( or = 10 microg/dL) during the winter, and only one had an elevated summertime concentration. In contrast, elevated blood lead concentrations were frequent in the 91 African-American children, especially those 1-3 years of age. For the latter, the percentage with elevated blood lead levels increased from 12.2% in winter to 22.5% in summer. A 1.2% W/S increase in serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (serum 25-OH-D) concentrations was found for children 1-3 years of age. However, in children 4-8 years of age the W/S increase in serum 25-OH-D was much larger-33.6%. The percentages of children with low ( 16 microg/L) serum 25-OH-D concentrations were 12.0% in winter and 0.7% in summer and were consistently greater in African-American than in Hispanic children. The seasonal increases in blood lead and serum 25-OH-D in children 4-8 years of age were significantly associated. CONCLUSION: The higher summertime serum 25-OH-D concentrations for the 4- to 8-year-old children are likely caused by increased sunlight-induced vitamin D synthesis and may contribute to the seasonal increase in blood lead. Age and race are key factors that affect blood lead and vitamin D nutrition, as well as their interactions, in young urban children.

T1  - Nitrogen removal capacity of wetlands: Sediment versus epiphytic biofilms
AN  - 20932411; 7383453
AB  - Wetlands are important sinks for nutrients and constructed wetlands are current practice for stormwater treatment. For nitrogen, the main removal process is denitrification (microbial reduction of nitrate to nitrogen gas). The bacteria responsible for this process are mostly found in the sediments and in epiphytic biofilms growing on wetland macrophytes. This paper reports on a project which aimed at measuring denitrification potential in sediments and epiphyton in urban wetlands. This study showed that wetland sediments could support high rates of denitrification. Interestingly, the most polluted of the wetlands studied had the highest denitrification potential. The management implication from this result is that indicators of pollution, such as hydrocarbon levels, will not necessarily reflect the ability of a wetland to denitrify. Two of the wetlands were studied in more detail. Here the denitrification potential of the epiphyton on dominant macrophytes and sediments were measured. The results indicated that the potential denitrification activity of the epiphyton was comparable to those measured in the sediments. Hence, biofilms could play a significant part in removing nitrogen loads. This work contributes to a better knowledge of the functioning of wetlands. This will lead to improved design and management of wetlands used for treating stormwater.

T1  - Predicting mistletoe seed shadow and patterns of seed rain from movements of the mistletoebird, Dicaeum hirundinaceum
AN  - 20434917; 9121439
AB  - AbstractAt the scale of an individual host, mistletoes are aggregated in space, resulting from the preferential perching of mistletoe dispersers on previously infected plants. We hypothesized that the landscape scale movement patterns of mistletoe dispersers will also promote the aggregation of mistletoes. This hypothesis was tested by predicting the seed shadow for box mistletoe Amyema miquelii (Loranthaceae) and patterns of seed rain, by combining radiotelemetry data of mistletoebird Dicaeum hirundinaceum (Dicaeidae) movements with existing gut passage time data. Thirteen adult mistletoebirds had a mean home range of 20ha, with core activity areas of approximately 1ha, and birds more often used areas with high levels of mistletoe infestation. The predicted seed shadow of box mistletoe was leptokurtic, with a 12%, 35% and 23% probability of mistletoe seed being deposited 0m (same host tree), 1-50m and 51-100m from the host tree, respectively. Although rare (3% probability), long distance dispersal of mistletoe (>500m) can occur. The predicted patterns of seed rain were strongly aggregated, with birds dispersing large amounts of seed (>66000 per ha) in areas with higher mistletoe infestation levels. The movements of mistletoe dispersers will therefore promote mistletoe aggregation at a landscape scale.

T1  - Arthroscopically Assisted Medial Reefing Without Routine Lateral Release for Patellar Instability
AN  - 20388637; 7403829
AB  - BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral instability in patients with normal alignment has been effectively treated with medial reefing procedures and a lateral release. Recent research suggests that a lateral release may not be necessary in patients without excessive patellar tilt. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopically assisted medial reefing without lateral release is as effective as techniques with a lateral release reported in the literature. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Twenty-four patients (25 knees) were observed for an average of 60 months. Preoperatively, patients underwent a history, physical examination, and radiographic evaluation. At follow-up, a physical examination and radiographic evaluation were repeated. Preoperative and postoperative Lysholm and Tegner scores were calculated. A subjective questionnaire was also completed. Comparative statistics were used for the preoperative and postoperative scores (P < .05). RESULTS: Ninety-six percent (24/25) were satisfied with their results, and all patients would have the same procedure performed again. Subjective symptom scores improved significantly. Lysholm knee scores improved from an average of 54 to 91 (P < .001). Tegner activity level improved from an average of 3.3 to 6.2 (P < .001). Significant improvement was seen in patellar mobility, apprehension, and patellofemoral tenderness with compression. Range of motion, muscle atrophy, and tilt did not change significantly. Congruence angles improved from 4.4 degree to -2.5 degree (P = .009), lateral patellofemoral angles improved from 5.5 degree to 8.7 degree (P = .011), and lateral patellar displacement improved from 2.0 to 0.2 mm (P < .044). There were no recurrent dislocations or subluxations. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopically assisted medial reefing, without lateral release, is an effective treatment for patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability and normal alignment.

T1  - Measurement of the Growth of a Floc Forming Bacterium Pseudomonas putida CP1
AN  - 19968050; 7367861
AB  - Pseudomonas putida CP1 formed clumps of cells when grown on mono-chlorophenols but not on phenol or glucose. An increase in cell numbers for the organism grown on mono-chlorophenols was accompanied by a decrease in the dry weight. The change in shape of the bacterium from rod shape to coccus shape coupled with a reduction in cell size when the organism was grown under nutritional stress was found. This result together with cell aggregation affected the measurement of growth parameters in the system by conventional methods (optical density measurements, dry weight measurements and the plate count technique). Monitoring growth of Pseudomonas putida CP1 by a direct microscopic count technique was found to be more representative than conventional methods including optical density measurements, dry weight measurements and the plate count technique when grown on phenolics.

T1  - Optimal scales to observe habitat dynamics: A coral reef example
AN  - 19638889; 7383162
AB  - A new technique to estimate the characteristic length scales (CLSs) of real ecological systems provides an objective means to identify the optimal scale(s) of observation to best detect underlying dynamical trends. Application of the technique to natural systems has focused on identifying appropriate scales to measure the dynamics of species as descriptors of community and ecosystem dynamics. However, ecosystem monitoring is often based not on assessing single species, but on species assemblages, functional groups, or habitat types. We asked whether the concept of CLSs based on dynamic interactions among species could be extended to examine interactions among habitat types and thus to identify optimal scales for observing habitat dynamics. A time series of three spatial maps of benthic habitats on a Caribbean coral reef was constructed from aerial photographs, Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) images, and IKONOS satellite images, providing the short time sequence required for this technique. We estimated the CLS based on the dynamics of three distinct habitat types: dense stands of seagrass, sparse stands of seagrass, and Montastrea patch reefs. Despite notable differences in the areal extent of and relative change in these habitats over the 21-year observation period, analyses based on each habitat type indicated a similar CLS of similar to 300 m. We interpret the consistency of CLSs among habitats to indicate that the dynamics of the three habitat types are linked. The results are encouraging, and they indicate that CLS techniques can be used to identify the appropriate scale at which to monitor ecosystem trends on the basis of the dynamics of only one of a disparate suite of habitat types.

T1  - River stories: Genealogies of a threatened inland river system
AN  - 19620443; 8748375
AB  - Most people now living in Australia's "bread basket", the much-degraded Murray Darling Basin, are like my family, descendants of convicts or free settlers who came to the inland in the 19th or early 20th centuries. Our legacy includes the dispossession of indigenous peoples, species extinction and the ongoing degradation of the ecological communities which now sustain us. My own family's river stories which "begin" with a pair of impoverished Gaels who migrated with their offspring from the Scottish Highlands, can be considered paradigmatic. I re-narrate it in this essay in response to philosopher Alasdair Maclntyre's challenge--I can only answer the question 'What am I to do?' if I can answer the prior question 'Of what story or stories do I find myself a part?' Some of these family stories I find myself part of, especially those that have been enacted within the catchment of the now-threatened Lachlan River, are very discomforting, but where do they "truly" begin? In seeking to understand my relationship with the river and its catchment, and with the indigenous peoples "my mob" displaced, I explore several possible "beginnings" and ask a further question: what stories do I want to be part of as co-author, co-narrator and protagonist. I then offer my own yet-to-be enacted "truth and reconciliation" stories about the future of the inland plains I love.

T1  - Characterization of EPA's 16 priority pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tank bottom solids and associated contaminated soils at oil exploration and production sites in Texas
AN  - 19448490; 7429109
AB  - The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration and types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of environmentally toxic and persistent chemicals, at contaminated oil exploration and production (E&P) sites located in environmentally sensitive and geographically distinct areas throughout Texas. Samples of tank bottom solids, the oily sediment that collects at the bottom of the tanks, were collected from inactive crude oil storage tanks at E&P sites and hydrocarbon contaminated soil samples were collected from the area surrounding each tank that was sampled. All samples were analyzed for the 16 PAH priority pollutant listed by US EPA and for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). The results demonstrate that overall average PAH concentrations were significantly higher in tank bottom solids than in contaminated soils. Total PAH concentrations decreased predictably with diminishing hydrocarbon concentrations; but the percent fraction of carcinogenic PAHs per total measured PAH content increased from approximately 12% in tank bottom solids to about 46% in the contaminated soils. These results suggest that the PAH content found in tank bottom solids cannot reliably be used to predict the PAH content in associated contaminated soil. Comparison of PAHs to conservative risk-based screening levels for direct exposure to soil and leaching from soil to groundwater indicate that PAHs are not likely to exceed default risk-based thresholds in soils containing TPH of 1% (10,000mg/kg) or less. These results show that the magnitude of TPH concentration may be a useful indicator of potential risk from PAHs in crude oil-contaminated soils. The results also provide credibility to the 1% (10,000mg/kg) TPH cleanup level, used in Texas as a default management level at E&P sites located in non-sensitive areas, with respect to PAH toxicity.

T1  - Unventilated Indoor Coal-Fired Stoves in Guizhou Province, China: Cellular and Genetic Damage in Villagers Exposed to Arsenic in Food and Air
AN  - 14813881; 10712683
AB  - Using cellular and molecular indices, the relationship between arsenic (As) exposure from the burning of coal in unventilated indoor stoves and genetic damage in humans was determined. The As-exposed subjects from Jiaole were divided into four groups according to skin lesion symptoms namely, mild, nonpatients, intermediate and severe arsenicosis. Another 53 villages from a town 12 km from Jiaole were recruited as the external control group. These values were higher than those in the external control group, which had As concentrations of 46 mu g/L for urine and 1.6 mu g/g for hair. The results showed that long-term As exposure might be associated with damage of chromosomes and DNA, gene mutations, gene deletions, and alterations of DNA synthesis and repair ability.

T1  - Dose-Response Relationship of Prenatal Mercury Exposure and IQ: An Integrative Analysis of Epidemiologic Data
AN  - 14813477; 10712678
AB  - Using a Bayesian hierarchical model to integrate data from three epidemiological studies, a dose-response relationship between maternal mercury body burden and subsequent childhood decrements in intelligence quotient (IQ) is estimated. Inputs to the model consist of dose-response coefficient from studies conducted in the Faroe Islands, New Zealand, and the Seychelles Islands. Sensitivity analyses produce similar results, with the IQ coefficient central estimate ranging from -0.13 to -0.25. IQ is a useful end point for estimating neurodevelopment effects, but may not fully represent cognitive deficits associated with mercury exposure, and does not represent deficits related to attention and motor skills. The integrated IQ coefficient provides a more robust description of the dose-response relationship for prenatal mercury exposure and cognitive functioning than results of any single study.

T1  - Driven to Extremes: Health Effects of Climate Change
AN  - 14812186; 10712656
AB  - Various aspects related to the health effects of climate change are discussed. Global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, states the 2003 WHO report Climate Change and Human Health-Risks and Responses. Developing better technologies for carbon sequestration in coal-fired power plants is critically important because of all fossil fuels, coal produces the most carbon dioxide per unit of energy. Coal accounts for about 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Release of the 2007 IPCC assessment demonstrates that hundreds of leading scientists from around the world have reached a consensus that human-produced greenhouse gases are exacerbating natural changes in planet's climate and would continue to do so well into future.

T1  - Biodiesel Exhaust: The Need for Health Effects Research
AN  - 14811836; 10712660
AB  - The need for health effects research is presented. Biodiesel exhaust emissions have been extensively characterized under field and laboratory conditions, but there have been limited cytotoxicity and mutagenicity studies on the effects of biodiesel exhaust in biologic system. Current industry capacity, stands at just over 300 million gallons/year, and current expansion and new plant construction can double the industry's capacity within a few years. Employment of biodiesel fuel is favorably viewed and there are suggestions that its exhaust emissions are less likely to present any risk to human health relative to petroleum diesel emissions. The speculative nature of a reduction in health effects based on chemical composition of biodiesel exhaust needs to be followed up with investigations in biologic systems.

T1  - Unventilated Indoor Coal-Fired Stoves in Guizhou Province, China: Reduction of Arsenic Exposure Through Behavior Changes Resulting from Mitigation and Health Education in Populations with Arsenicosis
AN  - 14811781; 10712684
AB  - Various issues related to the reduction of arsenic exposure through behavior changes resulting from mitigation and health education in populations with arsenicosis are discussed. It is observed that villagers from local pits mine the coal. Inhalation of air that contains high levels of As contributes to approximately 25% of the daily As intake of 6-9 mg. The survey also finds that many residents are aware of the health effects of As in general but lack in-depth understanding of the link between coal use and arsenicosis. Urinary As concentrations in the region decrease from 0.198 plus or minus 0.300 mg/L in 2004 to 0.049 plus or minus 0.009 mg/L, which is consistent with the behavior changes.

T1  - Pulmonary Biomarkers Based on Alterations in Protein Expression After Exposure to Arsenic
AN  - 14811765; 10712674
AB  - Pulmonary biomarkers based on alterations in protein expression after exposure to arsenic were analyzed. Mice were administered 10 or 50 ppb As in their drinking water for 4 weeks. Proteins on the lung-lining fluid were identified using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis or multidimensional protein identification technology (MUDPIT) coupled with mass spectrometry. Lung-induced sputum samples were collected from 57 individuals. By evaluating As-induced alterations in receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in humans, the validation of the putative biomarkers was carried out. Combinations of proteomic analyses of animal models followed by specific analyses of human samples provided an unbiased determination of important, previously unidentified putative biomarkers that may related to human disease.

AB  - Various issues related to the changing climate of litigation are discussed. It is observed that climate change is caused by an atmospheric layer to which the entire world is contributing. The plaintiffs have asked a federal court in New York to issue an abatement order to reduce the emissions. The global warming issues are complex, delicate, political, scientific issues that need to be resolved in a comprehensive careful way through the political process as opposed to courts, which decide things on an ad hoc basis that doesn't allow for the kind of analysis that is required in this area. Environmentalists and lawyers, who have studied climate change litigation, agree that the ideal venue for change would be some kind of world court.

T1  - Vermiculite, Respiratory Disease, and Asbestos Exposure in Libby, Montana: Update of a Cohort Mortality Study
AN  - 14811708; 10712673
AB  - Significant elevations in standardized mortality ratio (SMRs) for asbestosis, lung cancer, and cancer of the pleura among Libby vermiculite workers were observed. The historical cohort mortality study used life table analysis methods to compare the age-adjusted mortality experience through 2001 of 1,672 Libby workers to that of white men in the U.S. population. Libby workers were significantly more likely to die from asbestosis, lung cancer, cancer of the pleura and mesothelioma. Morality from asbestosis and lung caner increased with increasing duration and cumulative exposure to airborne tremolite asbestos and other amphibole fibers. The observed dose-related increases in asbestosis and lung cancer mortality highlight the need for better understanding and control of exposures that might occur when homeowners or construction workers disturb loose-fill attic insulation made with asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby, Montana.

T1  - Ambient and Microenvironmental Particles and Exhaled Nitric Oxide Before and After a Group Bus Trip
AN  - 14811675; 10712662
AB  - Ambient and microenvironmental particles and exhaled nitric oxide before and after a group bus trip are analyzed. Samples of F sub(ENO) collected before and after the trips are regressed against microenvironmental and ambient particle concentrations using mixed models controlling for subject, day, trip, vitamins, collection device, mold, pollen, room air nitric oxide, apparent temperature, and time to analysis. In pre-trip, both microenvironmental and ambient exposures to fine particles are positively associated with F sub(ENO). Associations with exposures during the trip also are strong and statistically significant with a 24% increase in F sub(ENO) predicted per interquartile increase of 9 mu g/m super(3) in PM sub(2.5). These associations are best assessed by microenvironmental exposure measurements during periods of high personal exposures.

T1  - Perinatal Bisphenol A Exposure Increases Estrogen Sensitivity of the Mammary Gland in Diverse Mouse Strains
AN  - 14810578; 10712675
AB  - The mammary gland of CD-1 and C57B16 mice exhibiting similar responses to 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)) and whether perinatal exposure to BPA equally enhanced sensitivity of the mammary glands to E sub(2) at puberty were examined. Immature mice were ovariectomized and treated for 10 days with one eight doses of E sub(2). Morphological mammary gland parameters were examined to identify doses producing half-maximal effects. Mice were exposed perinatally to 0 or 250 ng BPA/kg of body weight (bw)/day from gestational day 8 until day (PND) 2. Both strains exhibited similar responses to E sub(2). Perinatal BPA exposure altered responses to E sub(2) at puberty for several parameters in both strains, although the effect in CD-1 was slightly more pronounced.

T1  - The NIEHS Environmental Health Sciences Data Resource Portal: Placing Advanced Technologies in Service to Vulnerable Communities
AN  - 14810357; 10712671
AB  - Various aspects related to the placing of advanced technologies in service to vulnerable communities are discussed. The National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) Portal combines advances in geographic information system (GIS), data mining/integration, and visualization technologies through new forms of grid-based cyber infrastructure. The scale and complexity of the problems presented by Hurricane Katrina have made it evident that no stakeholder alone can tackle them and that there is a need for greater collaboration. It is found that the NIEHS Portal provides a collaboration-enabling, information-laden base necessary to respond to environmental health concerns in the Gulf Coast region while advancing integrative multidisciplinary research.

T1  - Cyclooxygenase-2 Induction by Arsenite Through the IKK beta /NFkappaB Pathway Exerts an Antiapoptotic Effect in Mouse Epidermal C141 Cells
AN  - 14810326; 10712663
AB  - Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, the signaling pathways leading to COX-2 induction, and its antiapoptotic function in the response to arsenite exposure in mouse epidermal JB6 Cl41cells were evaluated. The induction of COX-2 by arsenate was inhibited in Cl41 cells transfected with IKK beta -KM, a dominant mutant inhibitor of k beta kinase (IKK beta ), and in IKK beta -knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). IKK beta /nuclear factor kB pathway-mediated COX-2 induction exerted an antiapoptotic effect on the cells exposed to arsenite because cell apoptosis was significantly enhanced in the Cl41 cells transfected with IKK beta -KM or COX-2 small interference RNA. These results demonstrated that arsenite exposure could induce COX-2 expression through the IKK beta /NFkB pathway, which thereby exerts an antiapoptotic effect in response to arsenite.

T1  - Hormesis and its Place in Nanmonotonic Dose-Response Relationships: Some Scientific Reality Checks
AN  - 14810264; 10712661
AB  - Various aspects related to the hormesis and its place in nonmonotonic dose-response relationships are discussed. Hormesis, a biological phenomenon typically described as low-dose stimulation from substances producing higher-dose inhibition, has recently garnered interest in several quarters. The principal sources of published materials for this analysis are the writings of certain proponents of hormesis. Absence of both arms-length, consensus-driven, scientific evaluations and empirical data from studies specifically designed for hormesis testing have limited its acceptance. Definition, characterization, occurrence, and mechanism rationale for hormesis would remain speculative, in the absence of rigorous studies done specifically for hormesis testing. Any role for hormesis in current risk assessment and regulatory policies for toxics remains to be determined.

T1  - Identification of Genes Implicated in Methapyrilene-Induced Hepatotoxicity by Comparing Differential Gene Expression in Target and Nontarget Tissue
AN  - 14809922; 10712672
AB  - Various aspects related to the identification of genes implicated in methapyrilene-induced hepatotoxicity by comparing differential gene expression in target and nontarget tissues are discussed. Male rates were given the hepatotoxicant methapyrilene at two dose levels, with livers and kidneys removed 24 hr after one, three, and seven doses for gene expression analysis. High-dose methapyrilene elicited hepatic damage that increased in severity with the number of doses, whereas no treatment-related lesions were observed in the kidney. High-dose methapyrilene elicited thousands of gene changes in the liver at each time point, whereas many fewer gene changes were observed in the kidney. EPIG analysis identified patterns of gene expression correlated to the observed toxicity, including genes associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response.

T1  - Ontogenetic Alternations in Molecular and Structural Correlates of Dendritic Growth After Developmental Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls
AN  - 14809873; 10712670
AB  - Various aspects related to the ontogenetic alterations in molecular and structural correlates of dendritic growth after development exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls were analyzed. Rat dams were gavaged from gestational day 6 through postnatal day (PND) 21 with vehicle or the commercial polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) mixture Aroclor 1254. Dendritic growth and molecular markers were examined in pups during development. Golgi analyses of CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cerebellar Purkinge cells indicated that development exposure to PCBs caused a pronounced age-related increase in dendritic growth. The study demonstrated that developmental PCB exposure alters the ontogenetic profile of dendritogenesis in critical brain regions, supporting the hypothesis that disruption of neuronal connectivity contributes to neuropsychological deficits seen in exposed children.

T1  - In Utero Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke Potentiates Adult Responses to Allergen in BALB/c Mice
AN  - 14809830; 10712669
AB  - The hypothesis, in a mouse model of asthma, that in vitro environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure alters airway function respiratory immune responses in adults was tested. Pregnant Balb/c mice were exposed daily to ETS or HEPA-filtered air (AIR). Offspring inhaled aerosolized ovalbumin (OVA) or saline in weeks 7-8. At 6 weeks, no significant differences were found between in utero ETS and AIR mice. At 10 weeks, following OVA aerosol, ETS mice displayed greater AHR than AIR mice, unaccompanied by changes in histopathology, cytokine profile, or antibody levels. At 15 weeks, mice that had inhaled saline in weeks 7-8 developed airway inflammation: eosinophilia, interleukin-5, and AHR were greater in ETS mice than in AIR mice.

T1  - Health Effects of Exposure to Natural Arsenic in Groundwater and Coal in China: An Overview of Occurrence
AN  - 14806528; 10712680
AB  - Various aspects related to the health effects of exposure to natural arsenic in groundwater and coal in china are investigated. The arsenicosis occurrence rate of 7.5% is likely an overestimate, because the survey focuses more on known and suspected endemic areas of arsenicosis. The occurrence of arsenicosis correlates positively with the percentage of wells containing > 50 mu g/L As, or at a ratio of 1 to 5 percent. Based on both the amount of As in well water and the rate of occurrence of arsenicosis, Shanxi province, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and Jilin province are the top three areas in China as of 2005 for exposure to endemic As from drinking water.

T1  - Case Report: Potential Arsenic Toxicosis Secondary to Herbal Kelp Supplement
AN  - 14806506; 10712677
AB  - Various aspects related to the potential arsenic toxicosis are discussed. A urine sample showed an arsenic level of 83.6 mu g/g creatinine. A sample from the kelp supplements contained 8.5 mg/kg arsenic. It was observed that eight of the nine samples showed detectable levels of arsenic higher than the Food and Drug Administration tolerance level of 0.5 to 2 ppm for certain food products. Less regulation of dietary herbal therapies would make inadvertent toxicities a more frequent occurrence. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for heavy metal toxicity due to chronic use of dietary herbal supplements.

T1  - Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Evidence of Glial Effects of Cumulative Lead Exposure in the Adult Human Hippocampus
AN  - 14806449; 10712664
AB  - The association between cumulative exposure to lead and levels of different brain metabolite ratios in vitro using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was discussed. Bone lead concentrations-indicators of cumulative lead exposure-were previously measured using K-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. MRS was performed on the men from 2002 to 2004. A 20- mu g/g bone and 15- mu g/g bone higher patella and tibia bone lead concentration-the respective interquartile ranges within the whole NAS-were associated with a 0.04 and 0.04 higher myoinositol-to-creatine ratio in the hippocampus. After accounting for patella bone lead declined over time, analyses adjusted for showed that the effect of a 20- mu g/g bone higher patella bone lead level doubled. Cumulative lead exposure was associated with an increase in the myoinositol-to-creatine ratio.

T1  - Solar Thrill: Using the Sun to Cool Vaccines
AN  - 14806412; 10712658
AB  - Various aspects related to using the sun to cool vaccines are discussed. The SolarChill fridge works like any other refrigerator: a power supply drives compressor that pushes a refrigerant around a heat exchange mechanism. The SolarChill fridge also provides environmental advantages beyond the absence of lead-acid batteries. Other researchers are developing a light-capturing technology that could eventually provide an alternative to bulky solar panels. "Quantum, dot" technology involves making a solution of particle-size semiconductors that capture light, including the infrared wavelengths currently unused by solar planels, to produce electricity. It is found that the SolarChill is still less than half the price of solar-powered fridges of similar size now on the market, which cost up to $4,500, not including replacement batteries.

T1  - Mortality Among Pesticide Applicators Exposed to Chlorpyrifos in the Agricultural Health Study
AN  - 14802476; 10712666
AB  - Various issues related to the mortality among pesticide applicators exposed to chlorpyrifos in the agricultural health study were discussed. A total of 55,071 pesticide applicators were included in the analysis. Detailed pesticide exposure data and other information were obtained from self-administrated questionnaires completed at the time of enrollment. The relative risk (RR) of death from all causes combined among applicators exposed to chlorpyrifos was slightly lower than that for nonexposed applicators. The relative risks for mortality from suicide and non-motor-vehicle accidents increased 2-fold in the highest category of chlorpyrifos exposure days. The findings might reflect a link between chlorpyrifos and depression or other neurobehavioral symptoms that deserves further evaluation.

T1  - Late Neogene ice drainage changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the interaction of Antarctic ice sheet evolution and climate
AN  - 20350720; 7325057
AB  - During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the Lambert Glacier ice stream reached the shelf edge and built a trough mouth fan on the upper continental slope. This was associated with an increase in ice discharge from the Princess Elizabeth Land coast into Prydz Bay. The trough mouth fan consists mostly of debris flow deposits derived from the melting out of subglacial debris at the grounding line at the continental shelf edge. The composition of debris changes at around 1.1 Ma BP from material derived from erosion of the Lambert Graben and Prydz Bay Basin to mostly basement derived material. This probably results from a reduction in the depth of erosion and hence the volume of ice in the system. In the trough mouth fan, debris flow intervals are separated by thin mudstone horizons deposited when the ice had retreated from the shelf edge. Age control in an Ocean Drilling Program hole indicates that most of the trough mouth fan was deposited prior to the Brunhes-Matuyama Boundary (780 ka BP). This stratigraphy indicates that extreme ice advances in Prydz Bay were rare after the mid Pleistocene, and that ice discharge from Princess Elizabeth Land became more dominant than the Lambert Glacier ice in shelf grounding episodes, since the mid Pleistocene. Mechanisms that might have produced this change are extreme inner shelf erosion and/or decreasing ice accumulation in the interior of East Antarctica. We interpret this pattern as reflecting the increasing elevation of coastal ice through time and the increasing continentality of the interior of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The mid Pleistocene change to 100 ka climatic and sea level cycles may also have affected the critical relationship between ice dynamics and the symmetry or asymmetry of the interglacial/glacial climate cycle duration.

T1  - Explaining variation in front gardens between suburbs of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 20822460; 8260180
AB  - This paper determines the relationships between the dependent variables, presence of trees in front garden and front garden type, and socio-economic, environmental and demographic variables, at the suburb scale in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Garden type, largely following a pre-existing classification, and the presence/absence of trees, were recorded from 50 randomly located front gardens in each of 31 suburbs. The suburbs were classified into four groups on the basis of their spectrum of garden types and the percentage frequency of trees. Group one consisted of coastal suburbs of relatively high socio-economic status. Group 2 consisted of suburbs of moderate socio-economic status. Group 3 consisted of the poorest suburbs. The fourth group was composed of suburbs of high socio-economic status, located close to the centre of the city in hilly terrain. All except the rarest garden type occurred in all four groups of suburbs. Multiple regression and general linear models were used to predict tree presence, and the prevalence of particular garden types at the suburb level. Household income was the best predictor of the percentage frequency of trees in front gardens. The variables that appeared in models for garden types were: the percentage of the population with tertiary education (four instances); percentage of population older than 65 years (4); household income (3); percentage of households renting dwellings (3); altitude (3), rainfall (3); unemployment rate (2); percentage of population born in Australia (2); percentage of medium-sized gardens (2); suburb age (1); percentage of workforce in professional and managerial occupations (1). The 12 garden types that could be modelled responded individualistically to these independent variables.

T1  - Reframing the nation-state: Rethinking the Australian dream from the local to the global
AN  - 964194453; 201206016
AB  - Movement across the borders of the nation-state has always been uneven, but over the past few decades the unfettered movement of goods and images has been defended under the ideology of freedom and openness. At the same time, the movement of people, including refugees, has become increasingly administered and restricted in the name of 'the national interest'. This article argues that Australia has been part of this development. The Australian dream was once for all to own a quarter-acre housing block, protected from the machinations of the world. Across the turn of the 20th century into the present an invidious version of this dream has intensified, shorn of its egalitarian spirit. The nation-state itself has been made over in this image. The Australian state now acts on behalf of the nation to keep unwanted strangers out, while facilitating the open globalization of the Australian economy. In this context, older ethical pronouncements about freedom, equality openness and fairness no longer work. This article develops an alternative approach based upon a layering of ethical considerations. The new Australian dream it suggests will entail a complete renegotiation of how we are to live within and across the boundaries of identity, culture and economy. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Squandering the Future -- Climate Change, Policy Failure and the Water Crisis in Australia
AN  - 964193405; 201207379
AB  - Since European arrival (1788), statist developmentalism has driven natural resource use in Australia. Despite evidence of a systematic decline in the quality of Australia's ecosystems, policy-making still reflects the exploitative paradigm upon which statist developmentalism relies. This paper will draw on recent policy changes within the water sector in Australia as a case study, allowing the authors to consider the types of social, economic and ecological consequences that can come from statist developmentalism. Fuelled by climate change, water availability is looming as an extremely serious problem for Australia. Despite this, recent policy changes within the water sector are not likely to achieve sustainable water use in the short-term, and may do little to subvert statist developmentalism as the dominant paradigm within natural resource use in Australia in the foreseeable future.

T1  - Imagining Australia's energy services futures
AN  - 964183973; 201207389
AB  - The ways Australians use energy have changed significantly over the past 30 years, for example the low-energy intensity services sector has grown its share of the economy, and they will change more, as factors such as climate change, an ageing population and changing cultures and technologies impact. Many consider that energy use is driven by economic and population growth. While these are important, the nature of change in energy service requirements and the efficiency with which energy services are delivered are even more important. This paper discusses past and future trends in Australia's energy service requirements, and assesses the implications for energy supply. Changes in global and local energy service requirements mean that demand for Australian energy and resource exports may decline significantly in absolute terms, and the viability of conventional energy grids, even in cities, will be questionable. The actual outcome will be sensitive to decisions, both conscious and unconscious, made by individuals, business and governments. Figures, References. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - The relationship between right hemisphere damage and gesture in spontaneous discourse
AN  - 85684570; 200709910
AB  - Background: The assessment and rehabilitation of acquired neurogenic communication disorders rarely involves a systematic analysis of gesture use. The right cerebral hemisphere has been identified as a possible locus of control for gesture. McNeill's (McNeill & Duncan, 2000) growth point theory posits a structure for the organisation of processes from both cerebral hemispheres which serves to support the integration of gestural and verbal messages that emerge from a non-modality specific cognitive growth point or idea unit. Aims: The first aim of this research was to describe male non-brain-damaged (NBD) speakers' gesture use in the context of spontaneous discourse. The second aim was to compare the gesture production patterns of five individual males with right cerebral hemisphere damage (RHD) with the NBD group's pattern of performance. Methods & Procedures: Gesture rates and variation of fundamental frequency were analysed across four speaking conditions, a personal narrative, two procedural narratives, two emotional narratives, and three comic book descriptions. The discourse stimuli were selected to elicit highly emotional versus neutral content. Gesture use was classified according to the system described by McNeill (1992) for digital video analysis. Discourse samples were segmented into intonational phrases (Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg, 1990). Gesture rates and variation in fundamental frequency were calculated within intonational phrases. Outcomes & Results: The NBD group demonstrated higher rates of body beats and head movements in discourse samples with high emotional content. Procedural narratives were accompanied by higher rates of representational gestures than in the other conditions. The RHD participants showed variability in their gesture use across the discourse genres. The majority of RHD participants used lower non-body-focused gesture rates but significantly fewer gestures in the discourse samples with high emotional content. Differences in visuo-spatial ability, variations in fundamental frequency of speech, and body-focused gesture failed to reveal systematic patterns in the RHD participants. Conclusions: McNeill's (1992) growth point theory provides a useful platform for interpreting the observed reduction in overall frequency of gesture use evident in the RHD participants, but cannot account for the observed interaction involving the emotional narrative. While the impact of emotion on gesture in the non-brain-damaged population was unsurprising, the reversal of this pattern in people with right hemisphere damage poses a challenge for theoretical work in this area. The results of this study indicate that the analysis of gesture use is important for a deeper understanding of expressive communication impairments associated with acquired neurogenic impairment.

T1  - Facilitating use of speech recognition software for people with disabilities: A comparison of three treatments
AN  - 85652447; 200710973
AB  - This study examined the relative benefit of three interventions (i.e., physiological, behavioural, and pragmatic) designed to facilitate speech recognition software use. Participants were 15 adults with dysarthria associated with a variety of aetiological conditions, including cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, and motor neuron disease. Resuits suggested no clear dysarthric profile that would preclude at least some degree of speech recognition system use. Participants demonstrated systematic improvement in their dictation rates regardless of treatment order. The physiological treatment produced significantly higher dictation rates overall than the behavioural - but not the pragmatic - treatment. This finding suggests that improvement was not simply a function of software training, at least for the physiological treatment. This conclusion also was supported by changes in the participants' speech production during a post-treatment assessment. Adapted from the source document

T1  - Metolachlor-Mediated Selection of a Microalgal Strain Producing Novel Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
AN  - 754567915; 13410542
AB  - Long-chain (.C sub(20)) polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, are nutritionally important and provide protection against cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Structural variants of these compounds may have the potential to be used as pharmaceuticals. Marine microalgae are the key producers of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the global food web. Assuming vast biological and biochemical diversity, we devised a screen to identify microalgae that produce novel fatty acids. The herbicide metolachlor, an inhibitor of long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, was used in microcosms containing field-collected microalgae to identify naturally resistant strains. We show that one diatom, Melosira cf. moniliformis, is naturally resistant to concentrations of metolachlor, which were cytostatic or lethal to all the other microalgae. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed three fatty acids that have not previously been described-18:4 (5,8,11,14), 18:4 (5,9,12,15), and 18:5 (5,8,11,14,17). We propose that this type of screen may be generally applicable to the search of novel compounds produced by marine microorganisms.

T1  - Networked Governance or Just Networks? Local Governance of the Knowledge Economy in Limerick (Ireland) and Karlskrona (Sweden)
AN  - 743034452; 201024500
AB  - The emergence of networked governance of knowledge activities is portrayed as one component of a more general shift from government to governance. This article suggests that a distinction can be drawn between networks and networked governance and provides some insights into the indicators that might help distinguish networked governance from networks. The distinction is applied empirically to emerging forms of local networks in ICT in Limerick and Karlskrona. Differences between the two regions can be conceptualised with reference to the governance role of local networks in steering, setting directions and influencing behaviour. The article identifies the characteristics of network arrangements that appear to be necessary for governance objectives to be satisfied, these are density, breadth and association with values such as trust, mutuality and shared identity. The article shows that there is a need to approach generalised theories of emerging models of governance with sensitivity to cross-regional variations around these characteristics. Claims regarding the emergence of new forms of governance in local spaces may be exaggerated if all types of network arrangements are taken as evidence of a transformation from government to governance.

T1  - Update on the role of non-opioids for postoperative pain treatment.
AN  - 70484450; 17489217
AB  - Non-opioids play an ever increasing role in the treatment of postoperative pain; either on their own for mild to moderate pain or in combination with other analgesic approaches, in particular opioids, as a component of multimodal analgesia. The analgesics paracetamol (acetaminophen) and dipyrone (metamizole) as well as compounds with an additional anti-inflammatory effect (non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors) are used widely in the perioperative period. Paracetamol is gaining renewed interest in this setting due to its minimal adverse effects and recent availability in a parenteral preparation, but its benefits are insufficiently studied. Dipyrone continues to be used in many countries despite the ongoing debate on the incidence and relevance of its ability to cause agranulocytosis. Among the anti-inflammatory drugs, selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors have the most supportive data for their beneficial effects as a component of multimodal analgesia and offer benefits with regard to their adverse effect profile.

T1  - Questioning nuclear waste substitution: a case study.
AN  - 68172097; 17703611
AB  - This article looks at the ethical quandaries, and their social and political context, which emerge as a result of international nuclear waste substitution. In particular it addresses the dilemmas inherent within the proposed return of nuclear waste owned by Japanese nuclear companies and currently stored in the United Kingdom. The UK company responsible for this waste, British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL), wish to substitute this high volume intermediate-level Japanese-owned radioactive waste for a much lower volume of much more highly radioactive waste. Special focus is given to ethical problems that they, and the UK government, have not wished to address as they move forward with waste substitution. The conclusion is that waste substitution can only be considered an ethical practice if a set of moderating conditions are observed by all parties. These conditions are listed and, as of yet, they are not being observed.

T1  - Malaysia and harm reduction: the challenges and responses.
AN  - 68150300; 17689356
AB  - In Malaysia the response to illicit drug use has been largely punitive with the current goal of the Malaysian government being to achieve a drug-free society by 2015. This paper outlines the results of a desk-based situation assessment conducted over a 3-week period in 2004. Additional events, examined in 2005, were also included to describe more recent policy developments and examine how these came about. Despite punitive drug policy there has been a substantial rise in the number of drug users in the country. Over two-thirds of HIV/AIDS cases are among injecting drug users (IDUs) and there has been an exponential rise in the number of cases reported. Further, data suggest high risk drug use practices are widespread. Harm reduction initiatives have only recently been introduced in Malaysia. The successful piloting of substitution therapies, in particular methadone and buprenorphine, is cause for genuine hope for the rapid development of such interventions. In 2005 the government announced it will allow methadone maintenance programmes to operate beyond the pilot phase and needle and syringe exchange programmes will be established to serve the needs of IDUs.

T1  - Human Rights and Cosmopolitan Liberalism
AN  - 61669793; 200716745
AB  - It may be suggested that much of what goes by the name of contemporary cosmopolitanism is liberalism envisioned at the global level. It has become a common claim that the liberalism which provides the ethical content for cosmopolitanism is not tolerant enough of diverse ways of living; that liberalism's claim to be a just referee between competing conceptions of the good life in fact hides a failure to treat diverse forms of life with an egalitarian hand. This essay argues this is a correct observation that is in principle a good thing, not something to be derided. At least from the liberal point of view, part of the misunderstanding lies in the tendency to translate liberalism's claim to be egalitarian towards all individuals into the claim that this means liberalism must be egalitarian towards all the conceptions of the good life that are held by these individuals. Such an extension of liberalism's tolerance and egalitarianism would in fact undermine liberalism's core values and render the cosmopolitan project a series of contradictions in terms.

T1  - Constitutionalising Affirmative Action in the Fiji Islands
AN  - 59742864; 200715340
AB  - The Fiji Islands are a society deeply divided in ethnic terms, especially between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians, and also characterised by disadvantage and poverty in most communities. Various forms of affirmative action have been pursued, mostly in favour of indigenous Fijians who are not a disadvantaged minority, as in many states with significant affirmative action programmes, or the victims of discrimination. However, there is a perception on the part of the indigenous community that they are disadvantaged especially in relation to the Indo-Fijian community. The 1997 Constitution sought to mandate a more even-handed approach to affirmative action, but implementation was affected by a coup in 2000. After a brief theoretical discussion of the consequences of affirmative action in an ethnically mixed society, particularly regarding identity, this paper analyses the provisions of the Constitution, and discusses the problems of taking this type of approach to affirmative action. The discussion is placed in the context of the record of affirmative action programmes in Fiji itself as well as of the background of Fijian society including the tensions between tradition and market, and of the whole issue of whether affirmative action is an appropriate way to producing greater social justice and harmony in society.

T1  - Strategic procurement of public library collections.
AN  - 57676799; 00492978
AB  - Outsourcing of technical services functions such as cataloguing and processing is becoming more commonplace in libraries across Australia. Strategic procurement adds further value to the whole process of outsourcing the purchase of goods and services. In 1999 Brisbane City Council Library Services outsourced its acquisitions and technical services, enabling staff to move into user focused positions in the branches. It also introduced a more strategic management of acquisitions and collections which continues to be fine tuned to meet the needs of library users. In 2005 Yarra Plenty Regional Library Service became the first Victorian library to fully outsource its acquisitions and technical services. Brisbane and Yarra Plenty, although 1700 kms apart, are working together to adopt a standard AACR2 Level 2 catalogue record to be created by library suppliers, with costs shared between the partner libraries.

T1  - The generalizability of thought suppression ability to novel stimuli
AN  - 57223407; 200715854
AB  - The present study examined in a nonclinical sample whether ability to suppress autobiographical negative memories generalized to successful suppression of novel scenarios of negative valence (armed hold-up) or neutral valence (white bear). Fifty-nine participants were assessed for thought suppression ability, and 35 were identified as 'good' or 'poor' suppressors. Potential correlates of thought suppression ability were measured, including estimates of cognitive ability, previous traumatic experiences, and mood states. Good suppressors were more successful in not thinking of target scenarios when instructed to suppress than poor suppressors, and this was independent of valence of the to-be-suppressed scenario. Contrary to predictions, the two groups did not differ on measures hypothesized to influence suppression ability, but within group correlations indicated tentative support for mood states and prior trauma being related to autobiographical intrusions. The implications for understanding intrusive cognition in clinical disorders are discussed. [Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.]

AN  - 57219706; 200803988
AB  - Past research exploring the effect of employment on mothers' mental health has largely constructed maternal employment as a problem of identity and energy supply within the theory of multiple roles. Specifically, maternal employment has been investigated as either beneficial (role enhancement hypothesis) or detrimental (role strain hypothesis) to women's psychological wellbeing, with little consideration given towards a more complex relationship. As such, despite three decades of research, there is inconsistent support for both the role strain and role enhancement hypotheses. The few trends to emerge from this research suggest that while maternal employment may be associated with better psychological functioning, this effect may be mediated by the over-absorption of one's time and resources within a particular identity role. Future research would benefit from revising the manner in which maternal employment is constructed as a variable in order to yield more consistent and usable findings.

T1  - Urban-rural differentials in child malnutrition: Trends and socioeconomic correlates in sub-Saharan Africa
AN  - 57157757; 200708991
AB  - This paper examines levels and trends of urban-rural differentials in child malnutrition, and investigates whether residual differences exist between urban and rural areas, given comparable measures of socioeconomic status (SES) of households and communities. Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys of 15 sub-Saharan African countries, and multilevel modelling, it shows that urban-rural differentials are considerable in all countries, that they have narrowed in most countries due primarily to an increase in urban malnutrition, and have widened in few countries as a result of sharp decline in urban malnutrition. These urban-rural gaps are abolished in almost all countries when SES is controlled. These results suggest that policies and programs contributing to the attainment of the MDGs should pay particular attention to the urban poor. [Copyright 2005 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - The law: presidential inherent power - the 'sole organ' doctrine
AN  - 36701601; 3441680
AB  - The executive branch relies in part on the 'sole organ' doctrine to define presidential power broadly in foreign relations and national security, including assertions of an inherent executive power that is not subject to legislative or judicial constraints. The doctrine draws from a statement by John Marshall as a member of the House of Representatives in 1800: 'The President is the sole organ of the nation in its external relations, and its sole representative with foreign nations.' In dicta, the Supreme Court, in United States v. Curtiss-Wright (1936), cited Marshall's speech to support an independent, extra-constitutional, or exclusive power of the president. When read in context, however, Marshall made no such claim. Reprinted by permission of Blackwell Publishing

T1  - Evaluation of the U.S. EPA/OSWER Preliminary Remediation Goal for Perchlorate in Groundwater: Focus on Exposure to Nursing Infants
AN  - 21193119; 11560089
AB  - BACKGROUND: Perchlorate is a common contaminant of drinking water and food. It competes with iodide for uptake into the thyroid, thus interfering with thyroid hormone production. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) set a groundwater preliminary remediation goal (PRG) of 24.5 microg/L to prevent exposure of pregnant women that would affect the fetus. This does not account for the greater exposure that is possible in nursing infants or for the relative source contribution (RSC), a factor normally used to lower the PRG due to nonwater exposures. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to assess whether the OSWER PRG protects infants against exposures from breast-feeding, and to evaluate the perchlorate RSC. METHODS: We used Monte Carlo analysis to simulate nursing infant exposures associated with the OSWER PRG when combined with background perchlorate. RESULTS: The PRG can lead to a 7-fold increase in breast milk concentration, causing 90% of nursing infants to exceed the reference dose (RfD) (average exceedance, 2.8-fold). Drinking-water perchlorate must be 6.9 microg/L to keep the median, and 1.3 microg/L to keep the 90th-percentile nursing infant exposure below the RfD. This is 3.6- to 19-fold below the PRG. Analysis of biomonitoring data suggests an RSC of 0.7 for pregnant women and of 0.2 for nursing infants. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest that the RfD itself needs to be reevaluated because of hormonal effects in the general population. CONCLUSIONS: The OSWER PRG for perchlorate can be improved by considering infant exposures, by incorporating an RSC, and by being responsive to any changes in the RfD resulting from the new CDC data.

T1  - Cardiovascular Effects of Pulmonary Exposure to Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
AN  - 21193097; 11560087
AB  - BACKGROUND: Engineered nanosized materials, such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), are emerging as technologically important in different industries. OBJECTIVE: The unique physical characteristics and the pulmonary toxicity of SWCNTs raised concerns that respiratory exposure to these materials may be associated with cardiovascular adverse effects. METHODS: In these studies we evaluated aortic mitochondrial alterations by oxidative stress assays, including quantitative polymerase chain reaction of mitochondrial (mt) DNA and plaque formation by morphometric analysis in mice exposed to SWCNTs. RESULTS: A single intrapharyngeal instillation of SWCNTs induced activation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a marker of oxidative insults, in lung, aorta, and heart tissue in HO-1 reporter transgenic mice. Furthermore, we found that C57BL/6 mice, exposed to SWCNT (10 and 40 mug/mouse), developed aortic mtDNA damage at 7, 28, and 60 days after exposure. mtDNA damage was accompanied by changes in aortic mitochondrial glutathione and protein carbonyl levels. Because these modifications have been related to cardiovascular diseases, we evaluated whether repeated exposure to SWCNTs (20 mug/mouse once every other week for 8 weeks) stimulates the progression of atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) transgenic mice. Although SWCNT exposure did not modify the lipid profiles of these mice, it resulted in accelerated plaque formation in ApoE(-/-) mice fed an atherogenic diet. Plaque areas in the aortas, measured by the en face method, and in the brachiocephalic arteries, measured histopathologically, were significantly increased in the SWCNT-treated mice. This response was accompanied by increased mtDNA damage but not inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the findings are of sufficient significance to warrant further studies to evaluate the systemic effects of SWCNT under workplace or environmental exposure paradigms.

T1  - More human, more humane: a new approach for testing airborne pollutants.
AN  - 21191645; 11556019
AB  - People not only inhale airborne contaminants but also absorb them through the skin. Both routes can set off localized toxic reactions or damage internal organs such as the liver, kidney, and brain. Conventional tests of the toxicity of gases and vapors, in which laboratory animals are exposed to lethal or sub-lethal doses of chemicals, have been criticized as expensive, unethical, inhumane, and time-consuming. Now researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, have developed an animal-free alternative that uses human cells to test the effects of exposure to airborne toxicants.

T1  - Serum Dioxin Concentrations and Quality of Ovarian Function in Women of Seveso
AN  - 21190333; 11560093
AB  - BACKGROUND: Although 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been associated with alterations in ovarian function and hormones in animals, it has not been studied in humans. On 10 July 1976, an explosion exposed residents of Seveso, Italy, to the highest levels of TCDD in a population. Twenty years later, we initiated the Seveso Women's Health Study to study reproductive health. OBJECTIVE: We related TCDD levels measured in sera collected near the time of explosion and ovarian function (ovarian cysts, ovarian follicles, ovulation rate, serum hormones) at follow-up. METHODS: We included 363 women who were 20-40 years of age and nonusers of oral contraceptives. We examined the relationship of 1976 serum TCDD levels with ultrasound-detected ovarian follicles among 96 women in the menstrual follicular phase and serum hormone levels (estradiol, progesterone) among 129 women in the menstrual luteal phase at follow-up. Ovulation was defined by serum progesterone levels 3 ng/mL. RESULTS: The median serum TCDD level was 77.3 ppt, lipid-adjusted. Serum TCDD was not associated with number or size of ovarian follicles. Of women in the luteal phase, 87 (67%) ovulated. Serum log(10)TCDD was not associated with odds of ovulation [adjusted odds ratio = 0.99; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.5 to 1.9]. Among those who had ovulated, serum log(10)TCDD was not associated with serum progesterone [adjusted beta (adj-beta ) = -0.70; 95% CI, -2.4 to 1.0] or estradiol (adj-beta = -1.81; 95% CI, -10.4 to 6.8). CONCLUSIONS: We found no clear evidence that 1976 TCDD exposure was associated with ovarian function 20 years later in women exposed to relatively high levels in Seveso, Italy.

Yet isocyanate asthma continues to occur, not uncommonly in settings with minimal inhalation exposure but opportunity for skin exposure. In this review we evaluate the potential role of skin exposure in the development of isocyanate asthma. DATA SOURCES: We reviewed the published animal and human literature on isocyanate skin-exposure methods, workplace skin exposure, skin absorption, and the role of skin exposure in isocyanate sensitization and asthma. DATA EXTRACTION: We selected relevant articles from computerized searches on Medline, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and Google databases using the keywords "isocyanate," "asthma," "skin," "sensitization," and other synonymous terms, and our own extensive collection of isocyanate publications. DATA SYNTHESIS: Isocyanate production and use continues to increase as the polyurethane industry expands. There is substantial opportunity for isocyanate skin exposure in many work settings, but such exposure is challenging to quantify and continues to be underappreciated. Isocyanate skin exposure can occur at work, even with the use of personal protective equipment, and may also occur with consumer use of certain isocyanate products. In animals, isocyanate skin exposure is an efficient route to induce sensitization, with subsequent inhalation challenge resulting in asthma-like responses. Several lines of evidence support a similar role for human isocyanate skin exposure, namely, that such exposure occurs and can contribute to the development of isocyanate asthma in certain settings, presumably by inducing systemic sensitization. CONCLUSIONS: Integrated animal and human research is needed to better understand the role of skin exposure in human isocyanate asthma and to improve diagnosis and prevention. In spite of substantial research needs, sufficient evidence already exists to justify greater emphasis on the potential risks of isocyanate skin exposure and the importance of preventing such exposures at work and during consumer use of certain isocyanate products.

T1  - Impact of Trivalent Arsenicals on Selenoprotein Synthesis
AN  - 21189361; 11560091
AB  - BACKGROUND: Exposure to arsenic has been associated with development of skin, lung, bladder, liver, and kidney cancer. Recent evidence suggests that an increase in oxidative stress in cells treated with arsenicals represents the molecular mechanism behind arsenic-induced carcinogenesis. Selenium, in the form of selenocysteine, is necessary for the activity of several enzymes with a role in defense against reactive oxygen species. A mutual sparing effect between arsenic and selenium has been shown in animal studies when both metalloids are present in high concentrations. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether changes in selenoprotein synthesis may be an underlying mechanism behind arsenic-induced carcinogenesis, we analyzed the new synthesis of selenoproteins within cells after exposure to inorganic or methylated arsenicals using a human keratinocyte cell model. RESULTS: Addition of arsenite to culture medium blocked new synthesis of selenoproteins when selenium was present in the form of selenite, and appeared to stimulate the use of serum-derived selenium. Monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)) treatment of cells, in contrast, did not block all new synthesis of selenoproteins but did result in an increase in cytosolic thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1) at both the mRNA and protein levels. MMA(III) also reduced the new synthesis of cellular glutatione peroxidase (cGpx) and other smaller selenoproteins. Dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)) stimulated selenoprotein synthesis by an as yet unknown mechanism. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that arsenite and MMA(III) are key metabolites that trigger higher levels of TrxR1, and both lead to a reduction in the expression of cGpx. Together these effects certainly could lead to carcinogenesis given the knowledge that many cancers have higher levels of TrxR, and reduced Gpx levels will reduce the cell's ability to defend against reactive oxygen species. Based on these results, the impact of the trivalent arsenicals arsenite and MMA(III) on selenoprotein synthesis may indeed represent a potential molecular mechanism for the higher rates of cancer observed in populations exposed to high levels of arsenic.

T1  - Biomonitoring of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Exposure and Dose in Farm Families
AN  - 21189336; 11560088
AB  - OBJECTIVE: We estimated 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) exposure and systemic dose in farm family members following an application of 2,4-D on their farm. METHODS: Farm families were recruited from licensed applicators in Minnesota and South Carolina. Eligible family members collected all urine during five 24-hr intervals, 1 day before through 3 days after an application of 2,4-D. Exposure profiles were characterized with 24-hr urine 2,4-D concentrations, which then were related to potential predictors of exposure. Systemic dose was estimated using the urine collections from the application day through the third day after application. RESULTS: Median urine 2,4-D concentrations at baseline and day after application were 2.1 and 73.1 microg/L for applicators, below the limit of detection, and 1.2 microg/L for spouses, and 1.5 and 2.9 microg/L for children. The younger children (4-11 years of age) had higher median post-application concentrations than the older children ( or = 12 years of age) (6.5 vs. 1.9 microg/L). The geometric mean systemic doses (micrograms per kilogram body weight) were 2.46 (applicators), 0.8 (spouses), 0.22 (all children), 0.32 (children 4-11 years of age), and 0.12 (children or = 12 years of age). Exposure to the spouses and children was primarily determined by direct contact with the application process and the number of acres treated. Multivariate models identified glove use, repairing equipment, and number of acres treated as predictors of exposure in the applicators. CONCLUSIONS: We observed considerable heterogeneity of 2,4-D exposure among farm family members, primarily attributable to level of contact with the application process. Awareness of this variability and the actual magnitude of exposures are important for developing exposure and risk characterizations in 2,4-D-exposed agricultural populations.

T1  - Exposure to Hexachlorobenzene during Pregnancy and Children's Social Behavior at 4 Years of Age
AN  - 21189317; 11560076
AB  - BACKGROUND: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is an organochlorine chemical that has been used in agriculture and industrial processes. Behavioral impairment after HCB exposure has been described in animal models, but little information is available in humans. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to study the association of prenatal exposure to HCB with the social behavior of preschool children. METHODS: Two birth cohorts in Ribera d'Ebre and Menorca (Spain) were set up between 1997 and 1999 (n = 475). The California Preschool Social Competence Scale and the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were scored by each 4-year-old child's teacher. Organochlorine compounds were measured in cord serum. Children's diet and parental sociodemographic information were obtained through questionnaire. RESULTS: Children with concentrations of HCB 1.5 ng/mL at birth had a statistically significant increased risk of having poor Social Competence [relative risk (RR) = 4.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.76-9.58] and ADHD (RR = 2.71; 95% CI, 1.05-6.96) scores. No association was found between HCB and the cognitive and psychomotor performance of these children. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal exposure to current concentrations of HCB in Spain is associated with a decrease in the behavioral competence at preschool ages. These results should be considered when evaluating the potential neurotoxicologic effects of HCB.

T1  - Low-Dose Exposure and Immunogenicity of Transgenic Maize Expressing the Escherichia coli Heat-Labile Toxin B Subunit
AN  - 21166810; 11560090
AB  - BACKGROUND: Transgenic maize, which produces the nontoxic B subunit of the Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin (LT-B) in seed, has proven to be an effective oral immunogen in mice. Currently, there is considerable concern over accidental consumption of transgenic maize expressing LT-B by humans and domestic animals. We have yet to define nonimmunogenic levels of transgenic LT-B when ingested. OBJECTIVES: Our goal in this study was to determine the highest dose of LT-B orally administered in mice that does not result in a measurable immune response. We defined an immune response as specific serum or mucosal IgG or IgA significantly greater than background after three feedings (0.0002-20 mug) or a priming response induced by the intermittent feeding. METHODS: We fed transgenic maize pellets on days 0, 7, 21, and 49 and collected serum and fecal samples weekly. Serum was analyzed for LT-B-specific IgG and IgA, and feces was analyzed for LT-B-specific IgA. RESULTS: We observed a dose-dependent anti-LT-B antibody response with high specific antibody concentrations in groups fed high doses (0.2, 2, 20 mug) of LT-B maize. Mice fed 0.02 mug LT-B demonstrated immune priming in 62.5% of the animals. Mice that were fed /= 0.002 mug LT-B showed no increase in specific antibody nor did they demonstrate immune priming, indicating that 0.002 mug LT-B was the highest nonimmunogenic dose tested. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that LT-B derived from transgenic maize is immunogenic at nanogram levels when orally administered to mice.

T1  - Induction of Inflammation in Vascular Endothelial Cells by Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Effect of Particle Composition
AN  - 21166018; 11560083
AB  - BACKGROUND: The mechanisms governing the correlation between exposure to ultrafine particles and the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease remain unknown. Ultrafine particles appear to cross the pulmonary epithelial barrier into the bloodstream, raising the possibility of direct contact with the vascular endothelium. OBJECTIVES: Because endothelial inflammation is critical for the development of cardiovascular pathology, we hypothesized that direct exposure of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to ultrafine particles induces an inflammatory response and that this response depends on particle composition. METHODS: To test the hypothesis, we incubated HAECs for 1-8 hr with different concentrations (0.001-50 mug/mL) of iron oxide (Fe(2)O(3)), yttrium oxide (Y(2)O(3)), and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and subsequently measured mRNA and protein levels of the three inflammatory markers intra-cellular cell adhesion molecule-1, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1. We also determined nanoparticle interactions with HAECs using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS: Our data indicate that nanoparticle delivery to the HAEC surface and uptake within the cells correlate directly with particle concentration in the cell culture medium. All three types of nanoparticles are internalized into HAECs and are often found within intracellular vesicles. Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles fail to provoke an inflammatory response in HAECs at any of the concentrations tested; however, Y(2)O(3) and ZnO nanoparticles elicit a pronounced inflammatory response above a threshold concentration of 10 mug/mL. At the highest concentration, ZnO nanoparticles are cytotoxic and lead to considerable cell death. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that inflammation in HAECs following acute exposure to metal oxide nanoparticles depends on particle composition.

T1  - Policy failure: Australian freshwater protected area networks
AN  - 21164506; 11552113
AB  - The Australian (Commonwealth) Government, as well as Australia's eight state and territory governments, is committed (on paper) to the protection of representative examples of all major ecosystems including freshwater ecosystems within networks of protected areas. However, with the exceptions of the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania, no government has funded a systematic attempt to action the commitment to freshwater ecosystems #150; and programs in Victoria and Tasmania both appear to have made little recent progress. Several statutory provisions for the creation of aquatic protected areas remain, after many years, un-used in freshwaters. The pervasive failure of Australian governments to implement important policy tools (and other aspects of policy relating to the protection of freshwater ecosystems) raises questions about the real commitment of governments to policies which have no strong political constituencies. Failures in the context of both Commonwealth and state freshwater policy, particularly that relating to the strategic and systematic development of protected area networks, are examined. The Victorian situation, marked by advanced policy development as well as implementation 'delays' of over a decade, is selected for more detailed discussion. The advantages and disadvantages of different procedural approaches to the establishment of freshwater protected area networks are summarised, following a tabulation of relevant Australian statutes. Different explanations of government inaction are listed; however, lack of hard evidence leaves most explanations in the realm of speculation. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

T1  - Arsenic Methylation, GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP1 Polymorphisms, and Skin Lesions
AN  - 21139459; 11560092
AB  - OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether primary and secondary arsenic methylation ratios were associated with skin lesions and whether GSTT1, GSTP1, and GSTM1 polymorphisms modify these relationships. METHODS: A case-control study of 600 cases and 600 controls that were frequency matched on age and sex was conducted in Pabna, Bangladesh, in 2001-2002. Individual well water, urine, and blood samples were collected. Water arsenic concentration was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Urinary arsenic speciation was determined using high performance liquid chromatography hydride with generator atomic absorption spectrometry and ICP-MS. Genotyping was conducted using multiplex polymerase chain reaction and TaqMan. RESULTS: A 10-fold increase in primary methylation ratio [monomethylarsonic acid (MMA)/(arsenite + arsenate] was associated with a 1.50-fold increased risk of skin lesions (multivariate odds ratio = 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-2.26). We observed significant interaction on the multiplicative scale between GSTT1 wildtype and secondary methylation ratio [dimethylarsinic acid/MMA; likelihood ratio test (LRT), p = 0.01]. No significant interactions were observed for GSTM1 or GSTP1 or for primary methylation ratios. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that increasing primary methylation ratios are associated with an increase in risk of arsenic-related skin lesions. The interaction between GSTT1 wildtype and secondary methylation ratio modifies risk of skin lesions among arsenic-exposed individuals.

T1  - Metals in Particulate Pollutants Affect Peak Expiratory Flow of Schoolchildren
AN  - 21139441; 11560079
AB  - BACKGROUND: The contribution of the metal components of particulate pollutants to acute respiratory effects has not been adequately evaluated. Moreover, little is known about the effects of genetic polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolism on pulmonary function. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assess lung function decrement associated with metal components in particulate pollutants and genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1. METHODS: We studied 43 schoolchildren who were in the 3rd to 6th grades. Each student measured peak expiratory flow rate three times a day for 42 days. Particulate air concentrations were monitored every day, and the concentrations of iron, manganese, lead, zinc, and aluminum in the particles were measured. Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genetic polymorphisms were determined using DNA extracted from participant buccal washings. We used a mixed linear regression model to estimate the association between peak expiratory flow rate and particulate air pollutants. RESULTS: We found significant reduction in the peak expiratory flow rate after the children's exposure to particulate pollutants. The effect was shown most significantly 1 day after exposure to the ambient particles. Manganese and lead in the particles also reduced the peak expiratory flow rate. Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 did not significantly affect peak expiratory flow rate. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that particulate pollutants and metals such as manganese and lead in the particles are associated with a decrement of peak expiratory flow rate. These effects were robust even with consideration of genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase.

T1  - The Epidemiology of Lead Toxicity in Adults: Measuring Dose and Consideration of Other Methodologic Issues
AN  - 21139435; 11560074
AB  - We review several issues of broad relevance to the interpretation of epidemiologic evidence concerning the toxicity of lead in adults, particularly regarding cognitive function and the cardiovascular system, which are the subjects of two systematic reviews that are also part of this mini-monograph. Chief among the recent developments in methodologic advances has been the refinement of concepts and methods for measuring individual lead dose in terms of appreciating distinctions between recent versus cumulative doses and the use of biological markers to measure these parameters in epidemiologic studies of chronic disease. Attention is focused particularly on bone lead levels measured by K-shell X-ray fluorescence as a relatively new biological marker of cumulative dose that has been used in many recent epidemiologic studies to generate insights into lead's impact on cognition and risk of hypertension, as well as the alternative method of estimating cumulative dose using available repeated measures of blood lead to calculate an individual's cumulative blood lead index. We review the relevance and interpretation of these lead biomarkers in the context of the toxico-kinetics of lead. In addition, we also discuss methodologic challenges that arise in studies of occupationally and environmentally exposed subjects and those concerning race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status and other important covariates.

T1  - Rhizobium-Initiated Rice Growth Inhibition Caused by Nitric Oxide Accumulation
AN  - 20609904; 7302809
AB  - Isolates of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii (the clover root-nodule endosymbiont) from the Nile River delta have been found to infect rice roots and colonize the intercellular spaces of the rice roots. Some of these isolates inhibit rice seedling growth but one in particular, R4, has been found in rice roots which develop and grow normally. We present evidence that the induced growth inhibition is due to a toxic accumulation of nitric oxide (NO), from the reduction of nitrate, and suggest that the reason that R4 does not inhibit rice root growth is because it is capable of completing the reduction of NO through to nitrogen gas. Thus, strain R4 is a candidate for engineering into a future biological nitrogen fixation system within these roots.

T1  - A resilience perspective of the SEEA
AN  - 20579666; 7763922
AB  - While the SEEA is an important advance in national accounting it remains deficient in a number of ways in regard to natural resources. The dynamic and interactive nature of ecosystems means that any linear, compartmentalised system of accounting will miss significant changes that influence human wellbeing. In particular, losses in resilience of critical capital stocks (through changes in underlying ecosystem variables that do not contribute directly to valued flows, and are therefore not included in the accounts) means that the accounts will not recognise that such stocks are becoming riskier, likely to collapse, and are therefore over-valued. We present a stock-based approach to measuring sustainable development (the Inclusive Wealth Approach of [Arrow KJ, Dasgupta P and Maler K-G. (2003) Evaluating projects and assessing sustainable development in imperfect economies, Environmental and Resource Economics, 26:647-685]) at a regional scale, using an example from South East Australia, which includes an assessment of the resilience of critical capital stocks.

T1  - Differential interaction of Aspergillus niger and Peniophora lycii phytases with soil particles affects the hydrolysis of inositol phosphates
AN  - 20547907; 7184809
AB  - The effect of the soil environment on the mobility, stability and catalytic activity of phytase from two sources was compared, as these factors have important implications for the efficacy of enzyme function in soil. Phytase from an ascomycete fungus (Aspergillus niger) and a basidiomycete fungus (Peniophora lycii) was added to soil suspensions from three contrasting soils and activities in the solution and solid phase were monitored. The two enzymes were compared because the P. lycii phytase was known to have greater specific activity and a more acidic isoelectric point (pI) than A. niger and therefore predicted to have different adsorption characteristics. When added to soil suspensions buffered at pH 7.5, both phytases remained in solution in all of the soils. In contrast at near natural soil pH (pH 5.5), only the P. lycii phytase remained in solution, while the A. niger phytase was rapidly adsorbed to the soil solid phase. The extent of this adsorption was reduced, however, in a soil-dependent manner by prior addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to the soil suspensions. At the natural pH of the soil, the stability of the P. lycii phytase in soil solution was improved under sterile conditions, whereas degradation of the A. niger phytase was unaffected. Subsequently, P. lycii phytase was shown to be more effective at hydrolysing myo- inositol hexakisphosphate added to the soil. Moreover, the P. lycii phytase also hydrolysed more organic phosphate that was endogenous to a range of soils. This research indicates that the physicochemical properties of fungal phytases affect their mobility and temporal stability and their capacity to hydrolyse inositol phosphates in soil environments.

T1  - Influence of upwelling on movement of southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the Great Australian Bight
AN  - 20500529; 7625971
AB  - Large pelagic predators move quickly in and out of local ecosystems that may be separated by long distances: their trophic effects are determined by their behaviour while present. To investigate movement and local residence times of one such predator we implanted 29 acoustic tags into juvenile southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) (SBT) in the Great Australian Bight. We used acoustic detectors at a reef known to attract tuna and detected fifteen SBT on 941 occasions over 62 days. SBT were tagged at the reef, 40 km, and 120 km distant. A total of 100% of local and 60% of SBT tagged 40 km away were subsequently recorded at the reef. Presence and absence was related to an upwelling event. Water temperature decreased just after SBT departure from the monitoring region. The immediate area was aerially surveyed 22 times for SBT schools during the experiment. We combined aerial survey observations with computer simulation, calibrated against field studies of SBT movement, to test the hypothesis that tuna could be well simulated by a correlated random walk throughout the area of known occurrence. The most plausible explanation for the observed behaviour was short-term (hours) fidelity to schools combined with medium-term (weeks) fidelity to bathymetric features. The present study illustrates how dynamic models aid interpretation of experiments designed to understand trophic effects of large pelagic predators.

However, fish-habitat associations, particularly nursery habitat for early juvenile stages, are poorly known for most reef fishes. Using mark- recapture techniques, I examined among-habitat variation in settlement, post- settlement growth, and persistence, and movement in 3 large, vulnerable, and commercially important reef fishes: the humphead wrasse Cheilinus undulatus, the squaretail coralgrouper Plectropomus areolatus, and the camouflage grouper Epinephelus polyphekadion. Both the humphead wrasse and the coralgrouper appeared to utilize specific nursery habitats. Settlement, growth, and persistence of humphead wrasse were highest in branching coral structures mixed with bushy macroalgae (BCMA). Of all tagged C. undulatus recaptured in intermediate or adult habitats, 80% were tagged post-settlement in BCMA. Early juvenile P. areolatus were found almost exclusively in coral rubble habitats on the slopes of tidal channels, at a narrow depth range of 5 to 7 m. This dependence on one habitat type could render this species vulnerable to shipping or dredging operations or other forms of coastal development. E. polyphekadion appeared to be a habitat generalist, and no specific nursery habitat could be identified. In summary, spatial management (e.g. implementation of marine protected areas) should prioritize habitats for conservation according to their value as essential nursery or spawning habitats for target species needing protection.

T1  - Latitudinal clines for nucleotide polymorphisms in the Esterase 6 gene of Drosophila melanogaster
AN  - 19783439; 7364353
AB  - Previous studies have found non-neutral patterns of nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter and coding regions of Est6 in D. melanogaster. Coding region polymorphism peaks around two closely linked replacement differences associated with the EST6-F/EST6-S allozyme polymorphism. The promoter contains two common, highly diverged haplotype groups, P1 and P7, that differentially affect Est6 expression. Allozyme studies have also revealed latitudinal clines in EST6-F and EST6-S frequencies that recur across continents. Here we analyse nucleotide polymorphisms across the promoter and the region of peak coding sequence polymorphism in 10 Australian populations along a 25 degree latitudinal gradient in order to examine the basis for the allozyme clines. As with the earlier studies, we find an excess of intermediate to high frequency variants in both the P1/P7 region and around the two EST6-F/EST6-S replacements in some populations. The two EST6-F/EST6-S replacement polymorphisms show latitudinal clines whereas the P1 and P7 groups of promoter haplotypes do not. However the strongest clines are for three co-segregating silent site polymorphisms in a 4 bp stretch at the 3' end of the sequenced region. Monte Carlo simulations show that the clines for those three sites can explain all others in the data but none of the others can explain those three. Thus the allozyme clines may not reflect selection on either the P1/P7 polymorphism or the two replacements previously associated with the EST6-F/EST-S difference.

T1  - Sexually-transmitted disease in a sub-tropical eucalypt beetle: infection of the fittest?
AN  - 19638828; 7368262
AB  - The ecology of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) is topical in scientific research, and their demography and epidemiology differ from those of classical pathogens and parasites. Transmission of STDs is generally density-independent, occurs via the 'fittest' individuals in a population (or, at least, those that achieve the most matings), and reflects differential mating success. STDs can therefore have a major influence on the evolution of host mating systems. We studied the epidemiology of a recently described STD of a chrysomelid beetle in applied and theoretical contexts, exploring the virulence, intensity and prevalence of infection, and using our results to test ecological predictions. Chrysophtharta cloelia is infected with a sexually-transmitted mite (the STD), Parobia captivus. Infection rate over three beetle generations (7 months) was determined and the STD's effects on fertility, fecundity, longevity, mating success and overwintering survival was measured. Throughout the season around 40% of beetles were infected, with approximately one quarter of such hosts carrying infective life stages of the STD at any one time. Infection by P. captivus significantly decreased overwintering survival, but did not impact on other fitness parameters measured, including mate acceptance. However, more female beetles were infected than male beetles, while within both sexes larger beetles were more likely to be infected. Our results concur with theoretical predictions that STDs may be selected for low virulence and low detectability, while the observation of female bias in infection supports hypotheses regarding variable mating success and mating skews, which we discuss.

T1  - A review of particle formation events and growth in the atmosphere in the various environments and discussion of mechanistic implications
AN  - 19575278; 7424361
AB  - This review highlights recent observations from a large number of studies investigating formation and growth within different environments and discusses the importance of various mechanisms of particle formation and growth between the different environments. Whilst, several mechanisms for new particle formation which proposed the importance of each mechanism are still the centre of much debate. Proposed nucleation mechanisms include condensation of a binary mixture of sulphuric acid and water; ternary nucleation of sulphuric acid, water and a third molecule, most likely ammonia; ion-induced nucleation; secondary organic aerosol formation involving condensation of low- or non-volatile organic compounds and homogeneous nucleation of iodine oxides. Laboratory and modelling studies have shown these mechanisms can occur in the atmosphere although the contribution depends on the concentrations of precursor compounds present. In addition, atmospheric particle formation events are significantly affected by environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and the surface area of pre-existing particles, which is also discussed here. One major problem hampering our current understanding is that these new particles are smaller than the lower size detection limit of most instruments and are only observed after some particle growth has occurred. Particles growth occurs through condensation of supersaturated vapours on the surface of the nucleated particles. This requires a lower degree of supersaturation than nucleation and thus condensation of the nucleating species reduces the rate of particle formation. Therefore, it is believed that particle growth often occurs through the condensation of other gases, including organic and inorganic compounds, than those responsible for nucleation. This decoupling of nucleation and growth means that the individual gases responsible for nucleation and growth can be unclear. Since observations of particle formation only occur following growth to observable sizes it is possible that a pool of undetectable particles exist at all times but are only observed following significant condensational growth.

T1  - Nondestructive measurement of the time evolution of burrowing shrimp mound topography
AN  - 19524046; 7236239
AB  - We applied a profiling laser scanner system, originally developed for quantitative soil erosion studies, to produce 3-dimensional maps of underwater mounds produced in aquaria by thalassinidean shrimp Trypaea australiensis. With appropriate calibration against a surface of known geometry installed within the aquaria, the technique is highly accurate (1 and 2 mm resolution in the 2 horizontal dimensions and 0.2 mm resolution in the vertical). The method is non-destructive, and the evolution of mounds can be measured so the net daily rate of movement of material from the burrow to the surface mound can be reliably estimated. The technique also detects and measures slumping of the mound material to produce 'funnels' - a process which cannot be characterised by conventional techniques based on direct entrapment of sediment. We used the technique to measure mound and funnel formation in 3 laboratory aquaria populated with thalassinidean shrimp over a period of 359 d. Significant changes in mound volume were observed to occur from one day to the next (mean rates of sediment rise ranged from 0.36 to 1.1 cm super(3) d super(-1) opening super(-1), and mean rates of sediment fall ranged from -0.32 to -1.3 cm super(3) d super(-1) opening super(-1)). The rapid rate of movement of material, both into and out of the burrow, has important implications for sampling frequency if the rates of movement of sediment are not to be drastically underestimated. Our results suggest that daily sampling is required. This is rarely achieved in other studies, and, consequently, existing published values may be too low. The technique could be applied to quantify sediment transfer by other species that produce perturbations in the level of the sediment surface.

T1  - Estimating Risk from Ambient Concentrations of Acrolein Across the United States
AN  - 14801113; 10712461
AB  - Various aspects related to estimating risk from ambient concentrations of acrolein across the United States were discussed. The estimated median additional number of adverse sC sub(L) outcomes across the United States was approximately 2.5 cases per 1,000 people. The estimated range of additional outcomes from the 5th to the 95th percentile of acrolein concentration levels across census tracts was 0.28-14 cases per 1,000. For residual volume/total lung capacity ratio (RV/TLC), the median additional outcomes were 0.002 per 1,000, and the additional outcomes at the 95th percentile were 0.13 per 1,000. Although there were uncertainties in estimating human risks from animal data, this analysis demonstrated a method for estimating health risks for nanocancer effects and suggested that acrolein could be associated with decreased respiratory function in the United States.

T1  - Adult Lead Exposure: Time for Change
AN  - 14800740; 10712468
AB  - Mini-monograph on adults lead exposure to provide guidance to clinicians and public health professionals is presented. The lead standards of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration are woefully out of date given the growing evidence of the health effects of lead at levels of exposure previously thought to be safe particularly newly recognized persistent or progressive effects of cumulative dose. The growing body of scientific evidence suggests that occupational standards should limit recent dose to prevent the acute effects of lead and separately limit cumulative dose to prevent the chronic effects of lead. It is found that mini-monograph would motivate renewed discussion of ways to protect lead-exposed adults in the United State and around the world.

T1  - Within- and Between-Home Variability in Indoor-Air Insecticide Levels During Pregnancy Among an Inner-City Cohort from New York City
AN  - 14800688; 10712457
AB  - Within-and between-home variability in indoor-air insecticides levels during pregnancy among an inner-city cohort from New York City was investigated. Sixty-one percent of the women reported using pest control during the air samplings. Chloropyrifos, diazinon, and propoxur were detected in 99-100% of personal and indoor samples. Piperonyl butoxide was detected in 45.5-68.5 percent. There was little within-home variability and no significant difference in air concentrations within homes over time. Indoor and maternal personal air insecticides levels were highly correlated. The results suggested that among the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) infants born before the residential ban on chlorpyrifos, the amount of chlorpyrifos in the umbilical cord blood at birth was significantly inversely associated with the baby's birth weight and length and with the child's mental and motor development at 3 years of age.

T1  - Quality of Life and Capsaicin Sensitivity in Patients with Airway Symptoms Induced by Chemicals and Scents: A Longitudinal Study
AN  - 14800636; 10712463
AB  - The duration of symptoms induced by chemicals and scents and the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with chemically induced airway symptoms were evaluated. It was observed that seventeen patients with a history of at least 12 months of airway symptoms induced by chemicals and scents were followed over 5 yeas with repeated questionnaires, measurements of HRQL, and capsaicin inhalation tests. The symptoms persisted and did not change significantly over time and the patients had a reduced HRQL that did not change during the 5-year period. The capsaicin sensitivity was increased at the start of the study, the cough sensitivity was long-lasting, and the repeatability of the capsaicin inhalation test was considered to be good in a long-term perspective.

T1  - Lead Exposure and Cardiovascular Disease-A Systematic Review
AN  - 14800527; 10712471
AB  - The evidence on the association between lead exposure and cardio vascular end points in human populations was presented. A positive association of lead exposure with blood pressure was identified in numerous studies in different settings including prospective studies and in relatively homogeneous socioeconomic status groups. In some studies these associations were observed at blood lead levels <5 mu g/dL. It was observed that the evidence was suggestive but not sufficient to infer a causal relationship of lead exposure with clinical cardiovascular outcomes. There was also suggestive but insufficient evidence to infer a causal relationship of lead exposure with heart rate variability. It was concluded that regulatory and public health interventions must be developed and implemented to further prevent and reduce lead exposure.

T1  - Environment: California Out in Front
AN  - 14800383; 10712446
AB  - Various aspects related to the environment in California are discussed. According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), a San Francisco-based research organization, 65% of Californians don't think the federal government is doing enough to combat global warming. California would consider a statewide green chemistry policy that can exceed the scope of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which sets national policy on chemical used in products and industrial processes. California's next big effort on the environment can come from a burgeoning green chemistry policy that identifies safer chemicals and processes. The California's lawmakers have apparently decided that sacrifices made now to achieve environmental goals are worth the future benefits, not just for health and ecology, but also for the long-term sustainability of the state's industries.

T1  - Lead in Paint: Three Decades Later and Still a Hazard for African Children?
AN  - 14799840; 10712448
AB  - The role of lead-based paint in the blood lead distribution of South African children was investigated. The results suggested that the African public health community had strengthened their efforts to prevent lead poisoning in Africa children through a holistic approach that includes the promulgation and enforcement of appropriate legislation. Paint with high lead level was found in old as well as newly constructed dwellings. High lead levels were found in locally manufactured as well as imported toys. The results concluded that environmental exposure to lead posed risks of intellectual impairment, poor educational attainment, and lowered lifetime achievement for current and future generations of children in the country.

T1  - In Utero p,p'-DDE Exposure and Infant Neurodevelopment: A Perinatal Cohort in Mexico
AN  - 14798945; 10712465
AB  - The prenatal p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (DDE) exposure window and its effect on the psychomotor development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) during the first year of life were assessed. Participating mothers were not occupationally exposed to DDT but were residents of a zone in Mexico with endemic malaria. It was also observed that third-trimester DDE level was significantly higher than the level at baseline, first, and second trimesters, but the differences never exceeded 20 percent. Only DDE levels during the first trimester of pregnancy were associated with a significant reduction in PDI. A critical window of exposure of DDE in utero may be the first trimester of the pregnancy, and psychomotor development is a target of this compounds. Residues of DDT metabolites may present a rise of development delay for years after termination of DDT use.

AN  - 14798901; 10712462
AB  - Workgroup report regarding the base stations and wireless networks is presented. The World Health Organization convened an expert workshop several of the key points that are addressed. The possibility of radiofrequency (RF) health effects has been investigated in epidemiology studies of cellular telephone users and workers in RF occupations, in experiments with animals exposed to cell-phone RF, and via biophysical consideration of cell-phone RF electric field intensity and the effect of RF modulation schemes. Despite unavoidable uncertainty, current scientific data are consistent with the conclusion that public exposures to permissible RF levels from mobile telephony and base stations are not likely to adversely affect human health.

T1  - Effects of Monobutyl and Di(n-Butyl) Phthalate in Vitro on Steroidogenesis and Leydig Cell Aggregation in Fetal Testis Explants from the Rat: Comparison with Effects in Vivo in the Fetal Rat and Neonatal Marmoset and in Vitro in the Human
AN  - 14798323; 10712458
AB  - Effects of monobutyl and di(n-butyl) phthalate in vitro on steroidogenesis and Leydig cell aggregation in fetal testis explants from the rat were investigated. Fetal testis explants obtained from the rat and from the human were cultured for 24-48 hr with or without human chorionic gonadotropin or 22-R-hydroxy-cholestrol, and with or without DBP/MBP. The results suggested that MBP/DBP suppressed by fetal-type Leydig cells in primates as in rodents. The findings from the co-twin study in marmosets and comparison of the effects of DBP/MBP on steroidogenesis by rat and human fetal testis explants raised the important issue of species and age differences in the regulation of fetal/neonatal steroidogenis. The results concluded that the use of fetal testis explants to study the mechanisms of action of DBP/MBP appeared limited and was perhaps nonviable.

T1  - Cumulative Lead Dose and Cognitive Function in Adults: A Review of Studies That Measured Both Blood Lead and Bone Lead
AN  - 14797946; 10712472
AB  - Various aspects related to the empirical evidence for the relations of recent and cumulative lead dose with cognitive function in adults, were discussed. A systematic search of electronic databases resulted in 21 environmental and occupational studies from 1996 to 2006 that examined and compared associations of recent and cumulative lead doses with neurobehavioral outcomes. At exposure levels encountered after environmental exposure, associations with biomarkers of cumulative dose were stronger and more consistent than associations with blood lead levels. In studies of former workers with past occupational lead exposure, associations were also strong and more consistent with cumulative dose than with recent dose. There was moderate evidence for an association between psychiatric symptoms and lead dose but only at high levels of current occupational lead exposure or with cumulative dose in environmentally exposed adults.

T1  - Inhalation Exposure Study of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles with a Primary Particle Size of 2 to 5 nm
AN  - 14797874; 10712459
AB  - Using a murine model of lung inflammation and injury, the toxicity of the nanoparticles is assessed. The properties of TiO sub(2) nanoparticles as well as the characteristics of these particles were evaluated. Toxicity in exposed mice was assessed by enumeration of total and differential cells determination of total protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Mice exposed acutely to 0.77 or 7.22 mg/m super(3) nanoparticles demonstrated minimal lung toxicity or inflammation. Mice exposed subacutely and necropsied immediately and at week 1 or 2 postexposure had higher counts of total cells and alveolar macrophages in the BAL fluid compared with sentinels. Mice subacutely exposed to 2-5nm TiO sub(2) nanoparticles showed a significant but moderate inflammatory response among animals at week 0, 1, or 2 after exposure that resolved by week 3 postexposure.

T1  - Secondhand Suspicions: Breast Cancer and Passive Smoking
AN  - 14797748; 10712445
AB  - The relationship between breast cancer and passive smoking is investigated. It is shown that toxicants from cigarette smoke reach rodent mammary tissue and can form the DNA adducts believed to represent the first step of carcinogens. The chain of evidence regarding biological plausibility doesn't fit neatly with the fact that active smoking does not cause a significantly higher number of breast cancers compared with passive smoking exposure. The results suggest that if there is an increase in breast cancer incidence directly caused by alcohol-as opposed to an association related to co-exposures-then promotional effects on cell growth may be involved. Active smoking may partially mitigate effects of carcinogen exposure on the breast in smokers by reducing their estrogen levels.

T1  - Dental Amalgam Restorations and Children's Neuropsychological Function: The New England Children's Amalgam Trial
AN  - 14796925; 10712466
AB  - The New England children's amalgam trial regarding the dental amalgam restorations and children's neuropsychological function was discussed. A randomized controlled trial involved 534 6- to 1-year-old urban and rural children who were assessed yearly for 5 years using a battery of tests of intelligence achievement, language, memory, learning, visual-spatial skills, verbal fluency, fine motor function, problem solving, attention, and executive function. Although the mean urinary mercury concentration was greater among children in the amalgam group than the composite group, few significant differences were found between the test scores of children in the two groups. Exposure to elemental mercury in amalgam at the levels experienced by the children who participated in the trial did not result in significant effects on neuropsychological function within the 5-year follow-up period.

T1  - Separation of Risks and Benefits of Seafood Intake
AN  - 14796894; 10712449
AB  - To assess the developmental neurotoxicity of methylmercury from seafood, data from a prospective birth cohort study carried out in the Faroe Islands were analyzed. Structural equation modeling was applied to data. Adjustments for the benefits conferred by maternal fish intake during pregnancy resulted in an increased effect of the prenatal methylmercury exposure, as compared with the unadjusted results. At realistic imprecision levels, mercury-associated deficits increased by up to 2-fold when compared with the unadjusted effects. The adverse effects of methylmercury exposure from fish and seafood were likely to be underestimated by unadjusted results from observational studies, and the extent of the bias would be study dependent.

T1  - Corynebacterium endocarditis species-specific risk factors and outcomes.
AN  - 70205860; 17284316
AB  - Corynebacterium species are recognized as uncommon agents of endocarditis, but little is known regarding species-specific risk factors and outcomes in Corynebacterium endocarditis.
          Case report and Medline search of English language journals for cases of Corynebacterium endocarditis. Inclusion criteria required that cases be identified as endocarditis, having persistent Corynebacterium bacteremia, murmurs described by the authors as identifying the affected valve, or vegetations found by echocardiography or in surgical or autopsy specimens. Cases also required patient-specific information on risk factors and outcomes (age, gender, prior prosthetic valve, other prior nosocomial risk factors (infected valve, involvement of native versus prosthetic valve, need for valve replacement, and death) to be included in the analysis. Publications of Corynebacterium endocarditis which reported aggregate data were excluded. Univariate analysis was conducted with chi-square and t-tests, as appropriate, with p = 0.05 considered significant. 129 cases of Corynebacterium endocarditis involving nine species met inclusion criteria. Corynebacterium endocarditis typically infects the left heart of adult males and nearly one third of patients have underlying valvular disease. One quarter of patients required valve replacement and one half of patients died. Toxigenic C. diphtheriae is associated with pediatric infections (p < 0.001). Only C. amycolatum has a predilection for women (p = 0.024), while C. pseudodiphtheriticum infections are most frequent in men (p = 0.023). C. striatum, C. jeikeium and C. hemolyticum are associated with nosocomial risk factors (p < 0.001, 0.028, and 0.024, respectively). No species was found to have a predilection for any particular heart valve. C. pseudodiphtheriticum is associated with a previous prosthetic valve replacement (p = 0.004). C. jeikeium infections are more likely to require valve replacement (p = 0.026). Infections involving toxigenic C. diphtheriae and C. pseudodiphtheriticum are associated with decreased survival (p = 0.001 and 0.032, respectively).
          We report the first analysis of species-specific risk factors and outcomes in Corynebacterium endocarditis. In addition to species-specific associations with age, gender, prior valvular diseases, and other nosocomial risk factors, we found differences in rates of need for valve replacement and death. This review highlights the seriousness of these infections, as up to 28% of patients required valve replacement and 43.5% died.

T1  - Extremity dosimetry for radiation workers handling unsealed radionuclides in nuclear medicine departments in India.
AN  - 68421567; 17220712
AB  - In India, for the past five decades, whole body radiation dose of radiation workers has been monitored by means of film and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badges worn on the body. However, there are no provision/regulatory requirements to monitor doses received at the extremities, i.e., to fingers. Finger dose monitoring is essential for controlling the extremity dose limits for occupational personnel handling unsealed radioactive sources. In order to estimate the doses received in various types of procedures using unsealed sources, finger dose monitoring was carried out in 54 major institutions in the country using a specially designed plastic finger ring embedded with a TLD. The maximum finger dose of occupational workers involved in handling Tc in such activities as extraction and radiopharmacy work is 0.35 mSv GBq; during injection of radiopharmaceuticals and scintigraphy, the doses were observed to be 1 and 0.95 mSv GBq, respectively. Similarly, while handling F-FDG, the maximum doses received during dispensing, injection, and scintigraphy were 0.098, 0.324, and 0.56 mSv GBq, respectively. The maximum radiation dose received during Re/Re balloon angioplasty and while handling Sm was 3.92 and 6.5 mSv GBq, respectively. All the doses recorded were well within the prescribed limit. However, monitoring of these doses periodically would help in compiling the feedback regarding the work practices followed in institutions handling radioisotopes in the country and would also help in maintaining a record of safe work procedures while handling radioisotopes.

T1  - China's Anti-Satellite Weapons and American National Security
AN  - 60013727; 2007-06079
AB  - On January 11, the Chinese destroyed one of their aging weather satellites with a missile-launched interceptor, and this report argues that China's new anti-satellite weapons programs are targeted exclusively on the US: a capability that constitutes unmistakable evidence of intent. Satellites are vital to the US, and with adversaries able to threaten our access to them, the US should commit to realspace security and develop the means to assure its freedom of action in space.

T1  - Forecasting telecommunications data with linear models.
AN  - 57677861; 00492923
AB  - For telecommunication companies to successfully manage their business, companies rely on mapping future trends and usage patterns. However, the evolution of telecommunications technology and systems in the provision of services renders imperfections in telecommunications data and impinges on a company's' ability to properly evaluate and plan their business. International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Recommendation E.507 provides a selection of econometric models for forecasting these trends. However, no specific guidance is given. This paper evaluates whether simple extrapolation techniques in Recommendation E.507 can generate accurate forecasts. Standard forecast error statistics-mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), median absolute percentage error and percentage better-show the ARIMA, Holt and Holt-D models provide better forecasts than a random walk and other linear extrapolation methods.

T1  - Site effect of the strong-motion site at Tolmezzo-Ambiesta Dam in northeastern Italy
AN  - 51460492; 2007-035662
AB  - A spectral analysis of strong-motion data and ambient noise at the Tolmezzo-Ambiesta dam accelerograph (TLM1) site is performed to explain the high horizontal peak acceleration of 0.36g recorded during the M (sub w) 6.4, 6 May 1976 Friuli (northeastern Italy) earthquake. The spectral response of the accelerographic site is estimated from the mainshocks and aftershocks of the 1976 seismic sequence by different techniques. In addition, new seismic data are used to characterize the near- surface S-wave velocity distribution versus depth at TLM1 by means of an analysis of the phase-velocity dispersion of Rayleigh waves. An average, spectral amplification curve is computed for TLM1, whose mean value is at about 1.5. It features two main lobes of amplification with peaks at 2-3.5 Hz and 6-7 Hz that are explained, by the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) of noise measurements, as the effects of the vibration of a nearby relief and the dam-reservoir system, respectively. When the site response is evaluated from earthquake recordings, the frequency of resonance due to near-surface S-wave velocity profile at about 5 Hz is strongly attenuated in comparison with the 6-7 Hz peak due to the dam-reservoir system. Finally, by filtering the site effects of the 1976 record, the acceleration peak is reduced from the original value of 349.99 cm/sec (super 2) to 188.76 cm/sec (super 2) .

T1  - Soil Contamination from PCB-Containing Buildings
AN  - 21197336; 11563718
AB  - BACKGROUND: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in construction materials, such as caulking used around windows and expansion joints, may constitute a source of PCB contamination in the building interiors and in surrounding soil. Several studies of soil contamination have been conducted around buildings where the caulking has been removed by grinding or scraping. The PCBs in soil may have been generated in the process of removing the caulking, but natural weathering and deterioration of the caulking may have also been a source. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to measure PCB levels in soil surrounding buildings where PCB-containing caulk was still in place, and to evaluate the mobility of the PCBs from caulking using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 1311). DISCUSSION: We found soil PCB contamination ranging from 3.3 to 34 mg/kg around buildings with undisturbed caulking that contained 10,000-36,200 mg/kg PCBs. The results of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (leachate concentrations of 76-288 mg PCB/L) suggest that PCBs in caulking can be mobilized, apparently as complexes with dissolved organic matter that also leach off the caulking material. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Although these new findings are based on a small sample size, they demonstrate the need for a national survey of PCBs in building materials and in soil surrounding these buildings. Because the buildings constructed during the time the PCB caulking was in use (1960s and 1970s) include schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings, the potential for exposure of children is a particular concern. It is necessary to reconsider the practice of disposing of old PCB caulking removed during building renovations in conventional landfills, given the apparent mobility of PCBs from the caulking material. Disposal of some caulking material in nonhazardous landfills might lead to high PCB levels in landfill leachate.

T1  - Air Pollution, Smoking, and Plasma Homocysteine
AN  - 21197328; 11563716
AB  - BACKGROUND: Mild hyperhomocysteinemia is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Air pollution exposure induces short-term inflammatory changes that may determine hyperhomocysteinemia, particularly in the presence of a preexisting proinflammatory status such as that found in cigarette smokers. OBJECTIVE: We examined the relation of air pollution levels with fasting and postmethionine-load total homocysteine (tHcy) in 1,213 normal subjects from Lombardia, Italy. METHODS: We obtained hourly concentrations of particulate matter 10 mum in aerodynamic diameter (PM(10)) and gaseous pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide(,) ozone) from 53 monitoring sites covering the study area. We applied generalized additive models to compute standardized regression coefficients controlled for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol, hormone use, temperature, day of the year, and long-term trends. RESULTS: The estimated difference in tHcy associated with an interquartile increase in average PM(10) concentrations in the 24 hr before the study was nonsignificant [0.4%; 95% confidence interval (CI), -2.4 to 3.3 for fasting; and 1.1%, 95% CI, -1.5 to 3.7 for postmethionine-load tHcy]. In smokers, 24-hr PM(10) levels were associated with 6.3% (95% CI, 1.3 to 11.6; p 0.05) and 4.9% (95% CI, 0.5 to 9.6; p 0.05) increases in fasting and postmethionine-load tHcy, respectively, but no association was seen in nonsmokers (p-interaction = 0.005 for fasting and 0.039 for postmethionine-load tHcy). Average 24-hr O(3) concentrations were associated with significant differences in fasting tHcy (6.7%; 95% CI, 0.9 to 12.8; p 0.05), but no consistent associations were found when postmethionine-load tHcy and/or 7-day average O(3) concentrations were considered. CONCLUSIONS: Air particles may interact with cigarette smoking and increase plasma homocysteine in healthy subjects.

T1  - Monitoring and Modeling of Emissions from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Overview of Methods
AN  - 21197315; 11563696
AB  - Accurate monitors are required to determine ambient concentration levels of contaminants emanating from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), and accurate models are required to indicate the spatial variability of concentrations over regions affected by CAFOs. A thorough understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of concentration levels could then be associated with locations of healthy individuals or subjects with respiratory ailments to statistically link the presence of CAFOs to the prevalence of ill health effects in local populations. This workgroup report, which was part of the Conference on Environmental Health Impacts of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Anticipating Hazards-Searching for Solutions, describes instrumentation currently available for assessing contaminant concentration levels in the vicinity of CAFOs and reviews plume dispersion models that may be used to estimate concentration levels spatially. Recommendations for further research with respect to ambient air monitoring include accurately determining long-term average concentrations for a region under the influence of CAFO emissions using a combination of instruments based on accuracy, cost, and sampling duration. In addition, development of instruments capable of accurately quantifying adsorbed gases and volatile organic compounds is needed. Further research with respect to plume dispersion models includes identifying and validating the most applicable model for use in predicting downwind concentrations from CAFOs. Additional data are needed to obtain reliable emission rates from CAFOs.

T1  - Wind Direction and Its Linkage with Vibrio cholerae Dissemination
AN  - 21194306; 11563713
AB  - BACKGROUND: The relevance of climatic events as causative factors for cholera epidemics is well known. However, examinations of the involvement of climatic factors in intracontinental disease distribution are still absent. OBJECTIVES: The spreading of cholera epidemics may be related to the dominant wind direction over land. METHODS: We examined the geographic diffusion of three cholera outbreaks through their linkage with the wind direction: a) the progress of Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor in Africa during 1970-1971 and b) again in 2005-2006; and c) the rapid spread of Vibrio cholerae O139 over India during 1992-1993. We also discuss the possible influence of the wind direction on windborn dissemination by flying insects, which may serve as vectors. RESULTS: Analysis of air pressure data at sea level and at several altitudes over Africa, India, and Bangladesh show a correspondence between the dominant wind direction and the intracontinental spread of cholera. CONCLUSIONS: We explored the hypothesis that winds have assisted the progress of cholera Vibrios throughout continents. The current analysis supports the hypothesis that aeroplankton (the tiny life forms that float in the air and that may be caught and carried upward by the wind, landing far from their origin) carry the cholera bacteria from one body of water to an adjacent one. This finding may improve our understanding of how climatic factors are involved in the rapid distribution of new strains throughout a vast continental area. Awareness of the aerial transfer of Vibrio cholerae may assist health authorities by improving the prediction of the disease's geographic dissemination.

T1  - Inferring Past Pesticide Exposures: A Matrix of Individual Active Ingredients in Home and Garden Pesticides Used in Past Decades
AN  - 21193609; 11563704
AB  - BACKGROUND: In retrospective studies of the health effects of home and garden pesticides, self-reported information typically forms the basis for exposure assessment. Study participants generally find it easier to remember the types of pests treated than the specific pesticides used. However, if the goal of the study is to assess disease risk from specific chemicals, the investigator must be able to link the pest type treated with specific chemicals or products. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to develop a "pesticide-exposure matrix" that would list active ingredients on the market for treating different types of pests in past years, and provide an estimate of the probability that each active ingredient was used. METHODS: We used several different methods for deriving the active ingredient lists and estimating the probabilities. These methods are described in this article, along with a sample calculation and data sources for each. RESULTS: The pesticide-exposure matrix lists active ingredients and their probabilities of use for 96 distinct scenarios defined by year (1976, 1980, 1990, 2000), applicator type (consumer, professional), and pest type (12 categories). Calculations and data sources for all 96 scenarios are provided online. CONCLUSIONS: Although we are confident that the active ingredient lists are reasonably accurate for most scenarios, we acknowledge possible sources of error in the probability estimates. Despite these limitations, the pesticide-exposure matrix should provide valuable information to researchers interested in the chronic health effects of residential pesticide exposure.

T1  - Outbreaks of Short-Incubation Ocular and Respiratory Illness Following Exposure to Indoor Swimming Pools
AN  - 21183952; 11563701
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Chlorination destroys pathogens in swimming pool water, but by-products of chlorination can cause human illness. We investigated outbreaks of ocular and respiratory symptoms associated with chlorinated indoor swimming pools at two hotels. MEASUREMENTS: We interviewed registered guests and companions who stayed at hotels X and Y within 2 days of outbreak onset. We performed bivariate and stratified analyses, calculated relative risks (RR), and conducted environmental investigations of indoor pool areas. RESULTS: Of 77 guests at hotel X, 47 (61%) completed questionnaires. Among persons exposed to the indoor pool area, 22 (71%) of 31 developed ocular symptoms [RR = 24; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.5-370], and 14 (45%) developed respiratory symptoms (RR = 6.8; 95% CI, 1.0-47) with a median duration of 10 hr (0.25-24 hr). We interviewed 30 (39%) of 77 registered persons and 59 unregistered companions at hotel Y. Among persons exposed to the indoor pool area, 41 (59%) of 69 developed ocular symptoms (RR = 24; 95% CI, 1.5-370), and 28 (41%) developed respiratory symptoms (RR = 17; 95% CI, 1.1-260) with a median duration of 2.5 hr (2 min-14 days). Four persons sought medical care. During the outbreak, the hotel X's ventilation system malfunctioned. Appropriate water and air samples were not available for laboratory analysis. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE TO PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE: Indoor pool areas were associated with illness in these outbreaks. A large proportion of bathers were affected; symptoms were consistent with chloramine exposure and were sometimes severe. Improved staff training, pool maintenance, and pool area ventilation could prevent future outbreaks.

T1  - Community Health and Socioeconomic Issues Surrounding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
AN  - 21183922; 11563693
AB  - A consensus of the Workgroup on Community and Socioeconomic Issues was that improving and sustaining healthy rural communities depends on integrating socioeconomic development and environmental protection. The workgroup agreed that the World Health Organization's definition of health, "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity," applies to rural communities. These principles are embodied in the following main points agreed upon by this workgroup. Healthy rural communities ensure a) the physical and mental health of individuals, b) financial security for individuals and the greater community, c) social well-being, d ) social and environmental justice, and e) political equity and access. This workgroup evaluated impacts of the proliferation of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) on sustaining the health of rural communities. Recommended policy changes include a more stringent process for issuing permits for CAFOs, considering bonding for manure storage basins, limiting animal density per watershed, enhancing local control, and mandating environmental impact statements.

T1  - Exposure of Perfluorinated Chemicals through Lactation: Levels of Matched Human Milk and Serum and a Temporal Trend, 1996-2004, in Sweden
AN  - 21175608; 11563709
AB  - BACKGROUND: Only limited data exist on lactation as an exposure source of persistent perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) for children. OBJECTIVES: We studied occurrence and levels of PFCs in human milk in relation to maternal serum together with the temporal trend in milk levels between 1996 and 2004 in Sweden. Matched, individual human milk and serum samples from 12 primiparous women in Sweden were analyzed together with composite milk samples (25-90 women/year) from 1996 to 2004. RESULTS: Eight PFCs were detected in the serum samples, and five of them were also above the detection limits in the milk samples. Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS) were detected in all milk samples at mean concentrations of 0.201 ng/mL and 0.085 ng/mL, respectively. Perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) were detected less frequently. DISCUSSION: The total PFC concentration in maternal serum was 32 ng/mL, and the corresponding milk concentration was 0.34 ng/mL. The PFOS milk level was on average 1% of the corresponding serum level. There was a strong association between increasing serum concentration and increasing milk concentration for PFOS (r(2) = 0.7) and PFHxS (r(2) = 0.8). PFOS and PFHxS levels in composite milk samples were relatively unchanged between 1996 and 2004, with a total variation of 20 and 32% coefficient of variation, respectively. CONCLUSION: The calculated total amount of PFCs transferred by lactation to a breast-fed infant in this study was approximately 200 ng/day. Lactation is a considerable source of exposure for infants, and reference concentrations for hazard assessments are needed.

T1  - A Statistical Model for Assessing Genetic Susceptibility as a Risk Factor in Multifactorial Diseases: Lessons from Occupational Asthma
AN  - 21175563; 11563707
AB  - BACKGROUND: Incorporating the influence of genetic variation in the risk assessment process is often considered, but no generalized approach exists. Many common human diseases such as asthma, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are complex in nature, as they are influenced variably by environmental, physiologic, and genetic factors. The genetic components most responsible for differences in individual disease risk are thought to be DNA variants (polymorphisms) that influence the expression or function of mediators involved in the pathological processes. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to estimate the combinatorial contribution of multiple genetic variants to disease risk. METHODS: We used a logistic regression model to help estimate the joint contribution that multiple genetic variants would have on disease risk. This model was developed using data collected from molecular epidemiology studies of allergic asthma that examined variants in 16 susceptibility genes. RESULTS: Based on the product of single gene variant odds ratios, the risk of developing asthma was assigned to genotype profiles, and the frequency of each profile was estimated for the general population. Our model predicts that multiple disease variants broaden the risk distribution, facilitating the identification of susceptible populations. This model also allows for incorporation of exposure information as an independent variable, which will be important for risk variants associated with specific exposures. CONCLUSION: The present model provided an opportunity to estimate the relative change in risk associated with multiple genetic variants. This will facilitate identification of susceptible populations and help provide a framework to model the genetic contribution in probabilistic risk assessment.

T1  - Workgroup Report: Review of Fish Bioaccumulation Databases Used to Identify Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic Substances
AN  - 21174190; 11563705
AB  - Chemical management programs strive to protect human health and the environment by accurately identifying persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances and restricting their use in commerce. The advance of these programs is challenged by the reality that few empirical data are available for the tens of thousands of commercial substances that require evaluation. Therefore, most preliminary assessments rely on model predictions and data extrapolation. In November 2005, a workshop was held for experts from governments, industry, and academia to examine the availability and quality of in vivo fish bioconcentration and bioaccumulation data, and to propose steps to improve its prediction. The workshop focused on fish data because regulatory assessments predominantly focus on the bioconcentration of substances from water into fish, as measured using in vivo tests or predicted using computer models. In this article we review of the quantity, features, and public availability of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biota-sediment accumulation data. The workshop revealed that there is significant overlap in the data contained within the various fish bioaccumulation data sources reviewed, and further, that no database contained all of the available fish bioaccumulation data. We believe that a majority of the available bioaccumulation data have been used in the development and testing of quantitative structure-activity relationships and computer models currently in use. Workshop recommendations included the publication of guidance on bioconcentration study quality, the combination of data from various sources to permit better access for modelers and assessors, and the review of chemical domains of existing models to identify areas for expansion.

T1  - Cryptorchidism and Maternal Alcohol Consumption during Pregnancy
AN  - 21174167; 11563702
AB  - BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposure to alcohol can adversely affect the fetus. We investigated the association between maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and cryptorchidism (undescended testis) among newborn boys. METHODS: We examined 2,496 boys in a prospective Danish-Finnish birth cohort study for cryptorchidism at birth (cryptorchid/healthy: 128/2,368) and at 3 months of age (33/2,215). Quantitative information on alcohol consumption (average weekly consumption of wine, beer, and spirits and number of binge episodes), smoking, and caffeine intake was obtained by questionnaire and/or interview once during the third trimester of pregnancy, before the outcome of the pregnancy was known. For a subgroup (n = 465), information on alcohol consumption was obtained twice during pregnancy by interviews. RESULTS: We investigated maternal alcohol consumption both as a continuous variable and categorized. The odds for cryptorchidism increased with increasing weekly alcohol consumption. After adjustment for confounders (country, smoking, caffeine intake, binge episodes, social class, maternal age, parity, maturity, and birth weight) the odds remained significant for women with a weekly consumption of five or more alcoholic drinks (odds ratio = 3.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-9.10). CONCLUSIONS: Regular alcohol intake during pregnancy appears to increase the risk of congenital cryptorchidism in boys. The mechanisms for this association are unknown. Counseling of pregnant women with regard to alcohol consumption should also consider this new finding.

T1  - The Potential Role of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations in Infectious Disease Epidemics and Antibiotic Resistance
AN  - 21174136; 11563692
AB  - The industrialization of livestock production and the widespread use of nontherapeutic antimicrobial growth promotants has intensified the risk for the emergence of new, more virulent, or more resistant microorganisms. These have reduced the effectiveness of several classes of antibiotics for treating infections in humans and livestock. Recent outbreaks of virulent strains of influenza have arisen from swine and poultry raised in close proximity. This working group, which was part of the Conference on Environmental Health Impacts of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Anticipating Hazards--Searching for Solutions, considered the state of the science around these issues and concurred with the World Health Organization call for a phasing-out of the use of antimicrobial growth promotants for livestock and fish production. We also agree that all therapeutic antimicrobial agents should be available only by prescription for human and veterinary use. Concern about the risk of an influenza pandemic leads us to recommend that regulations be promulgated to restrict the co-location of swine and poultry concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) on the same site and to set appropriate separation distances.

T1  - Mercury Exposure from Domestic and Imported Estuarine and Marine Fish in the U.S. Seafood Market
AN  - 21141526; 11563708
AB  - BACKGROUND: Methylmercury exposure causes a variety of adverse effects on human health. Per capita estimates of mercury exposure are critical for risk assessments and for developing effective risk management strategies. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the impact of natural stochasticity in mercury concentrations among fish and shellfish harvested from the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and foreign shores on estimated mercury exposures. METHODS: Mercury concentrations and seafood consumption are grouped by supply region (Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and foreign shores). Distributions of intakes from this study are compared with values obtained using national FDA (Food and Drug Administration) mercury survey data to assess the significance of geographic variability in mercury concentrations on exposure estimates. RESULTS: Per capita mercury intake rates calculated using FDA mercury data differ significantly from those based on mercury concentration data for each supply area and intakes calculated for the 90th percentile of mercury concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in reported mercury concentrations can significantly affect per capita mercury intake estimates, pointing to the importance of spatially refined mercury concentration data. This analysis shows that national exposure estimates are most influenced by reported concentrations in imported tuna, swordfish, and shrimp; Pacific pollock; and Atlantic crabs. Collecting additional mercury concentration data for these seafood categories would improve the accuracy of national exposure estimates.

T1  - A Comparison of Proximity and Land Use Regression Traffic Exposure Models and Wheezing in Infants
AN  - 21141514; 11563700
AB  - BACKGROUND: We previously reported an association between infant wheezing and residence 100 m from stop-and-go bus and truck traffic. The use of a proximity model, however, may lead to exposure misclassification. OBJECTIVE: Results obtained from a land use regression (LUR) model of exposure to truck and bus traffic are compared with those obtained with a proximity model. The estimates derived from the LUR model were then related to infant wheezing. METHODS: We derived a marker of diesel combustion--elemental carbon attributable to traffic sources (ECAT)--from ambient monitoring results of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 2.5 microm. We developed a multiple regression model with ECAT as the outcome variable. Variables included in the model were locations of major roads, bus routes, truck traffic count, and elevation. Model parameter estimates were applied to estimate individual ECAT levels at infants' homes. RESULTS: The levels of estimated ECAT at the monitoring stations ranged from 0.20 to 1.02 microg/m(3). A LUR model of exposure with a coefficient of determination (R(2)) of 0.75 was applied to infants' homes. The mean (+/- SD) ambient exposure of ECAT for infants previously categorized as unexposed, exposed to stop-and-go traffic, or exposed to moving traffic was 0.32 +/- 0.06, 0.42 +/- 0.14, and 0.49 +/- 0.14 microg/m(3), respectively. Levels of ECAT from 0.30 to 0.90 mug/m(3) were significantly associated with infant wheezing. CONCLUSIONS: The LUR model resulted in a range of ECAT individually derived for all infants' homes that may reduce the exposure misclassification that can arise from a proximity model.

T1  - Estimated Effects of Disinfection By-products on Preterm Birth in a Population Served by a Single Water Utility
AN  - 21141503; 11563699
AB  - OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the association between drinking-water disinfection by-products and preterm births using improved exposure assessment and more appropriate analysis methods than used in prior studies. METHODS: During 1999-2001, vital record data were obtained for a large, racially diverse population residing in 27 Massachusetts communities that received drinking water from a single public utility. This water system was monitored weekly for total trihalomethanes (TTHM), and it maintained geographically stable total TTHM levels system-wide during the study period. We employed proportional hazards regression to examine the effects of trimester-specific and shorter-term peak exposures to TTHM in drinking water late in pregnancy on preterm births in 37,498 singletons. RESULTS: For all women, our data suggested no more than a small increase, if any, in risk for delivering a preterm baby when exposed to or = 60 microg/L TTHM during the 4 weeks before birth [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.95-1.35]. However, women who depended on a governmental source of payment for prenatal care were at increased risk when exposed at such levels late in gestation (HR = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06-1.81). In contrast, exposure to high levels of TTHM during the second trimester and high exposure throughout pregnancy resulted in a 15-18% reduction in risk for preterm delivery in our population. CONCLUSIONS: This finding confirms previous reports of a negative association during the second trimester. Our data also suggested a possible positive association with shorter-term third-trimester TTHM exposure in mothers of lower socioeconomic status.

T1  - Post-release survival and feeding in reared turbot
AN  - 20901624; 8263359
AB  - As part of the Danish restocking program, an experiment was carried out with four groups of turbot Psetta maxima released on two different occasions at the same location in Arhus Bay, Denmark. One objective was to analyse the duration of post-release mortality and the magnitude of this mortality. In 2003 a group called Large turbot (17.1 cm total length (L sub(T))) and a group called Intermediate (L sub(T)=11.8 cm) were released, and in 2004 two similar-sized groups called Naive and Conditioned (L sub(T)=9.8 cm) were released. The Conditioned differed from the Naive turbot by being transferred to enclosures at the release location six days prior to the actual release. This experiment was performed to investigate whether such a conditioning period had a positive effect on the survival and hence the success of the stocking. All the groups released were monitored daily until day 8, using a juvenile flatfish-trawl to recapture the fish. The catches were analyzed on the basis of a normal distribution approximation method, founded in diffusion theory, from which daily abundance of the released fish and hence post-release mortality could be estimated. The group of Large turbot suffered negligible post-release mortality, but for the Conditioned, Naive and Intermediate groups the loss varied between 34 and 66% d super(-) super(1). The mortality for the Conditioned group was found to be half that of the Naive turbot released simultaneously. The period of high post-release mortality was estimated to be restricted to three days after release. The only active predators observed in the area were birds. Besides estimating mortality the diffusion model provides an estimate on the catchability of the released turbot when fished with a juvenile flatfish-trawl. Catchabilities varied between 38 and 52% for all releases except for the 17 cm sized turbot released, where catchability was only 12%. The feeding performance of the released fish was also analysed and compared with that of wild fish caught at the same location. These results showed that the proportion of stomachs containing food increased not only with time after release, but also with the size of the turbot. However, whether or not fish was included in the diet was not related to size but to time after release and to whether they had been conditioned or not.

T1  - Biological and Chemical Products Use in Extensive Shrimp Farming in Southwest Bangladesh
AN  - 20861037; 8113042
AB  - Between January and August 2002, a study was undertaken in 69 shrimp farms of three major ownership (individual, group and outside lease) categories to determine the extent of use of biological and chemical products in extensive shrimp farming system in southwest Bangladesh. Farmers in the study area used on an average 5 different biological and chemical products. The most commonly used products were soil and water treatment products (lime and cow dung) to improve culture conditions. Farmers under individual category used an average of 67.34 kg ha super(-1) lime, which was lower than the farmers under group category (96.71 kg ha super(-1)) and the farmers under outside category (74.39 kg ha super(-1)) respectively. The maximum application of cow dung was 1,058.72 kg ha super(-1) used by the outside shrimp farmers. Farmers spent 0.1-0.3% in chemicals, 0.6-1.0% in lime, 1.3-1.4% in organic fertilizer, 0.2-1.4% in inorganic fertilizer respectively of their total production cost in the system. Average farm size, production and cost contribution of the used products are described. Drugs and antibiotics and therapeutants for disease control were not available in the study area.

T1  - Variation in susceptibility of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and Helicoverpa punctigera (Wallengren) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia to two Bacillus thuringiensis toxins
AN  - 20846167; 8238733
AB  - Intra-specific variation in susceptibility of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and Helicoverpa punctigera (Wallengren) in Australia to the Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab delta -endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) (Bt) was determined to establish a baseline for monitoring changes that might occur with the use of Bt cotton. Strains of H. armigera and H. punctigera were established from populations collected primarily from commercial farms throughout the Australian cotton belts. Strains were evaluated for susceptibility using two bioassay methods (surface treatment and diet incorporation) by measuring the dose response for mortality (LC sub(5) sub(0)) and growth inhibition (IC sub(5) sub(0)). The variation in LC sub(5) sub(0) among H. armigera (n=17 strains) and H. punctigera (n=12 strains) in response to Cry1Ac was 4.6- and 3.2-fold, respectively. The variation in LC sub(5) sub(0) among H. armigera (n=19 strains) and H. punctigera (n=12 strains) to Cry2Ab was 6.6- and 3.5-fold, respectively. The range of Cry1Ac induced growth inhibition from the 3rd to 4th instar in H. armigera (n=15 strains) was 3.6-fold and in H. punctigera (n=13 strains) was 2.6-fold, while the range of Cry2Ab induced growth inhibition from neonate to 3rd instar in H. armigera (n=13 strains) was 4.3-fold and in H. punctigera (n=12 strains) was 6.1-fold. Variation in susceptibility was also evaluated for two age classes (neonates and 3rd instars) in laboratory strains of H. armigera and H. punctigera. Neonates of H. punctigera had the same or higher sensitivity to Bt than 3rd instars. Neonates of H. armigera were more sensitive to Cry2Ab than 3rd instars, while being less sensitive to Cry1Ac than 3rd instars. Differences in the two methods of bioassay used affected relative sensitivity of species to Bt toxins, highlighting the need to standardize bioassay protocols.

T1  - Enemy release after introduction of disease-resistant genotypes into plant-pathogen systems
AN  - 20801648; 7296933
AB  - Predicting the magnitude of enemy release in host-pathogen systems after introduction of novel disease resistance genes has become a central problem in ecology. Here, we develop a general quantitative framework for predicting changes in realized niche size and intrinsic population growth rate after introgression of disease resistance genes into wild host populations. We then apply this framework to a model host-pathogen system targeted by genetically modified and conventionally bred disease-resistant host lines (Trifolium repens lines expressing resistance to Clover yellow vein potyvirus) and show that, under a range of ecologically realistic conditions, the introduction of novel pathogen resistance genes into host populations can pose a quantifiable risk to associated nontarget native plant communities. In the host-pathogen system studied, we predict that pathogen release could result in an increase in the intrinsic rate of population growth of up to 15% and the expansion of host populations into some marginal environments. This approach has general applicability to the ecological risk assessment of all novel disease-resistant plant genotypes that target coevolutionary host-pathogen systems for improvement of agricultural productivity.

T1  - Summer activity patterns of nocturnal Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of the southern tablelands of New South Wales
AN  - 20431791; 9121495
AB  - AbstractAustralia has a rich diversity of Scarabaeoidea; however, little is known about the majority of them. Because adults of Anoplognathus, Automolius, Heteronychus, Heteronyx and Liparetrus in particular are reliant upon eucalypts, a number of bluegum plantation companies supported the commencement of research into the biology and ecology of scarabs of economic significance to them. Consequently, it was decided that the occurrences of species endemic to this area would be studied and it was assumed that information on the nocturnal species in the aforementioned genera would be obtained. From late November 2003 until late February 2004, the abundances of Scarabaeoidea caught in two light traps that partition insects caught on a given night into seven time periods each of 1.75h duration were recorded. A total of 48263 scarabs representing 21 genera were caught. Within the 14 species caught most often, six types of summer activity pattern were apparent: late spring to early summer (Australobolbus gayndahensis), early to mid-summer (Scitala sericans), mid-summer only (Sericesthis ignota), mid- to late summer (Acrossidius tasmaniae, Aphodius lividus, Heteronyx chlorotica, Het.praecox and Antitrogus morbillosus), late summer only (Ataenius picinus) and all summer (Anoplognathus pallidicollis, Phyllotocus macleayi, Sericesthis geminata, Ser.micans and Ser.nigrolineata). Abundances of nine species peaked between 21:30 and 23:15h (Aph.lividus, Phy.macleayi, Het.chlorotica, Sci.sericans, Ser.geminata, Ser.micans, Ser.nigrolineata and possibly also Ant.morbillosus), three were most abundant between 19:45 and 21:30h (Ano.pallidicollis, Ser.ignota and possibly also Ata.picinus), another two were most abundant from 19:45 to 23:15h (Acr.tasmaniae and Het.praecox) and Aus.gayndahensis was most abundant between 23:15 and 01:00h. Of course, it is not just a knowledge of the identity of the species and the timing of their occurrence that are important when making insect management decisions, but also the size of population needed to inflict economically significant loss. It is now beholden upon bluegum plantation companies to support further research to determine the relationships between light trap catches of eucalypt-feeding scarabs, tree age and/or size and level of defoliation in order to improve their confidence in this method of monitoring over ground surveys.

T1  - Characterization of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli from diarrhoeal patients in Bangladesh using phenotyping and genetic profiling
AN  - 20225571; 7302590
AB  - A total of 99 isolates out of 370 colonization factor (CF)-positive, well-characterized enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains belonging to 13 different CF types isolated from diarrhoeal patients admitted to the hospital of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, were tested. The isolates were selected at random based on expression of the major CFs prevailing in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 1996 to 1998. These isolates were characterized by O-antigenic serotyping, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and biochemical fingerprinting using the PhenePlate (PhP) system. The 99 ETEC isolates belonged to 10 O serogroups, the predominant ones being O6(n = 28), O115 (n = 20) and O128 (n = 20). Most isolates of serogroup O6 (CS1 +CS3, 11/14; CS2 + CS3, 5/8) belonged to the same PhP/ RAPD type (H/f), whereas other isolates of serogroup O6 (n = 12) belonged to different PhP/RAPD types (Si/f and F/c). Eleven serogroup O128 (CFA/I) isolates belonged to the same PhP/RAPD type (E/b), whereas the other O128 isolates formed different PhP/RAPD types. Fifteen (75%) serogroup O115 isolates (together with fourteen isolates from serogroups O25, O114, O142 and O159) demonstrated two closely related common groups by PhP typing (A and A1) and belonged to the same PhP/RAPD type (A/a). Three major clonal groups were identified among the ETEC strains in this study, largely based on O-antigenic type, CF expression pattern and toxin profile.

T1  - Effects of host plant species on fitness costs of Bt resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
AN  - 19900467; 8548896
AB  - Increases in the magnitude and dominance of fitness costs associated with resistance have been implicated as key factors in delaying or preventing increases in resistance allele frequency in insect populations. We tested the hypotheses that the magnitude and dominance of fitness costs can be affected by the crop used in the refuge. The performance of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) on three refuge plant species (sorghum, cotton, and pigeon pea) was compared for a susceptible laboratory strain, a near-isogenic strain selected in the laboratory against the Cry1Ac endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis, and the F1 progeny of these two strains. Survival on each plant species was lower in resistant individuals compared with their susceptible counterparts. Compared with the susceptible strain, larval development of the resistant strain was delayed on cotton (by 4.7 days) and on sorghum (by 1.5 days), with no delay on pigeon pea. These results indicate that a fitness cost is associated with Cry1Ac resistance and that, for some traits, the magnitude of the cost depends on plant species. Generally, life history traits were similar for susceptible and F1 insects that developed on pigeon pea. However, on cotton, development was slower in F1 insects compared with susceptible insects, while on sorghum pupal weight and fecundity were reduced in F1 insects compared with susceptible insects. These results suggest that an understanding of the interaction between host refuge plant and fitness costs associated with Cry1A resistance in H. armigera could be advantageous for maximizing the benefits of refuges used in resistance management of bioinsecticides, whether microbial or transgenic plants. Although further data on overall fitness are required to provide a definitive position, the data indicate that cotton may be the most effective refuge when B. thuringiensis or its toxins are used for controlling H. armigera on cotton.

T1  - Vegetation information for improved natural resource management in Australia
AN  - 19716540; 7496052
AB  - Up-to-date, reliable information on the type, extent and condition of vegetation is increasingly required at a range of scales for a range of policy, regulation and management purposes. This paper describes the development of national level vegetation information frameworks for mapping vegetation across Australia. Vegetation mapping and monitoring in Australia have historically been the responsibility of state governments. In the late 1980s, the Australian and State and Territory governments developed the National Forest Inventory to facilitate the collection and availability of contemporary, valid and standardised forest data to assist in the planning and management for the conservation and use of Australia's forests. The National Vegetation Information System framework (ESCAVI, 2003) expanded this concept for compiling vegetation structure and floristic information for entire landscapes. The National Vegetation Information System framework has recently been used to integrate data from a range of sources to provide a whole-of-landscape view of vegetation, including native, non-native and non-vegetation land covers. Map compilation approaches to vegetation assessment provide only one form of information required for policy, regulation or management decisions. Compiling and updating such snapshots of Australia's vegetation cover provide little, if any, information on the condition of the vegetation. Differences between repeated snapshots through time using this approach are often the result of differences in classification approaches or mapping technologies rather than actual changes in the structure and/or floristics of the vegetation. It is argued that efficient assessment of change in vegetation condition requires repeated measurements of condition indicators at the same sites over time. We present a continental forest monitoring framework design concept to address this concern. Issues that need to be addressed relating to monitoring framework data and map-based information are also discussed in the context of adaptive management for improved natural resource management.

T1  - A conceptual model of land use effects on the structure and function of herbaceous vegetation
AN  - 19704179; 7488346
AB  - We apply an ecological perspective to the understanding of land use change and its implications for vegetation dynamics in the agro-pastoral zone of eastern temperate Australia. We have presented a state-and-transition model to describe in broadest terms the range of land uses that affect grassy vegetation. We predict the biological attributes of plant traits that are likely to be associated with different land uses and identify some gaps in our knowledge that are seen as necessary for future management of this land. These gaps reflect, to some extent, differences between ecological and agricultural disciplines in types and land uses for which data have been collected. In particular, the floristics and transitions involved in change of land use from fertilized pastures to native grassland is poorly understood. The plant traits associated with the more intensive land uses have not been described, and thus form a test for the predictions of plant trait changes that can be derived from other continents. We suggest that plant traits provide a vital link between vegetation change and ecosystem function, and are therefore a potentially important integration tool for understanding the consequences of land use change for ecosystem services.

T1  - Facultative social parasitism in the allodapine bee Macrogalea berentyensis
AN  - 19581540; 7306270
AB  - Previous research on social parasitism has largely ignored allodapine social parasites, which is surprising given the huge potential of these bees to provide a better understanding of social parasitism. Macrogalea berentyensis, a species that was previously suggested to be a social parasite, was collected in nests of M. ellioti, and also in nests consisting of only M. berentyensis. These findings, along with morphological and phyloge-netic evidence, show that this species is a facultative social parasite. In the independently living M. berentyensis nests, brood were present that had been reared to an advanced stage, suggesting that: (i) these parasites may be effective at foraging and caring for their brood; or (ii) these nests may be colonies where all the hosts had died, and these parasites had yet to disperse. Macrogalea berentyensis is the closest relative of the facultative social parasite, M. antanosy, and both these species represent the most recent evolutionary origin of social parasitism within the allodapines. Further behavioral research on both these parasitic species would therefore have important implications for the understanding of the evolution of social parasitism.

T1  - Mclip: motif detection based on cliques of gapped local profile-to-profile alignments
AN  - 19564226; 7286308
AB  - SUMMARY: A multitude of motif-finding tools have been published, which can generally be assigned to one of three classes: expectation-maximization, Gibbs-sampling or enumeration. Irrespective of this grouping, most motif detection tools only take into account similarities across ungapped sequence regions, possibly causing short motifs located peripherally and in varying distance to a 'core' motif to be missed. We present a new method, adding to the set of expectation-maximization approaches, that permits the use of gapped alignments for motif elucidation.

T1  - The role of N-acetyl-methioninate as a new stabilizer for albumin products
AN  - 19494143; 7185350
AB  - Sodium octanoate (Oct) and N-acetyl-l-tryptophanate (N-AcTrp) are widely used as stabilizers during the pasteurization of albumin products. However, N-AcTrp has a possible side effect of intracerebral disease. To provide safe and risk-free albumin products, we validated N-acetyl- methioninate (N-AcMet) as a new stabilizer for albumin products. The effect of N-AcMet on oxidation was examined using 2,2-azobis(2-amidino-propane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) as an oxidizing agent. Carbonyl content in the presence of N-AcMet, as well as that in the presence of N-AcTrp after 24 h (Anraku et al., 2004), was significantly decreased. The effect of AAPH on the oxidative status of 34-Cys on human serum albumin was also studied by HPLC. It was found that N-AcMet as well as N-AcTrp, has a large protective effect on the sulfhydryl group after 1 h. Further, N-AcMet was found to be a superior radical scavenger to N-AcTrp using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The thermal stabilizing role of N-AcMet manifested as an increase in denaturation temperature and calorimetric enthalpy, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In the present study, we suggest that use of N-AcMet in albumin preparation is safe and free of risk of side effects.

T1  - Habitat requirements of the endangered pygmy bluetongue lizard, Tiliqua adelaidensis
AN  - 19483178; 7174445
AB  - The pygmy bluetongue lizard, Tiliqua adelaidensis, occupies spider burrows as home sites. It is an endangered species, known from only 19 small natural grassland sites in the mid-north of South Australia, all on privately owned land. Habitat requirements of the pygmy bluetongue lizard were investigated at four sites. Both within and between sites, lizards were more likely to be found in areas with a greater number of deep spider burrows. Areas where lizards were not found tended to lack these burrows. Strong site similarities were found for a range of habitat parameters examined. Within these grasslands there was no specific vegetation community associated with areas occupied by pygmy bluetongue lizards. However there was a distinct vegetation community associated with an absence of lizards. Generally there was no difference in the abundance and diversity of ground dwelling invertebrates between areas with and without lizards. As the only protected area of natural grassland within the known distribution, Mokota Conservation Park was assessed as a potential reintroduction site. It was found to be unsuitable due to a low number of deep spider burrows and a vegetation community similar to that found in uninhabited areas of known lizard inhabited sites. Unless other conservation areas can be established, preservation of this lizard will rely on habitat management by private land holders. Community goodwill and informed advice to the land holders will be essential in this process.

T1  - Temporal Patterns in Perchlorate, Thiocyanate, and Lodide Excretion in Human Milk
AN  - 14814407; 10712789
AB  - Temporal patterns in perchlorate, thiocyanate, and iodide excretion in human milk were studied. Ten lactating subjects were recruited and each subject was asked to provide six samples on each of 3 days. Alternatively, subjects were asked to provide as many samples of breast milk as comfortably possible over a series of days. Samples were processed and analyzed by ion chromatography-mass spectrometry. The iodide range, mean less than or equal to SD, and median for all the samples were 3.1-334 mu >g/L, 87.9 less than or equal to 80.9 mu >g/L, and 55.2 mu >g/L respectively. The range mean less than or equal to SD, and median of perchlorate in all samples were 0.5-39.5 mu >g/L, 5.8 less than or equal to 6.2 mu >g/L and 4.0 mu >g/L. The thiocyanate range, mean less than or equal to SD, and median were 0.4-228.3 mu >g/L, 35.6 less than or equal to 57.9 mu >G/l, and 5.6 mu >g/L. An appearance of perchlorate and thiocyanate and inadequacy of iodine in human milk was found that suggested the requirement of investigating the role of these chemicals in iodide reduction.

T1  - In Search of the Most Relevant Parameter for Quantifying Lung Inflammatory Response to Nanoparticle Exposure: Particle Number, Surface Area, or What?
AN  - 14810727; 10712790
AB  - Most relevant parameters of particle number and surface area for quantifying lung inflammatory response to nanoparticle exposure were studied. Two sets of lung inflammation data were considered. The study concerned 20- and 250-nm titanium dioxide particles in rats, and six different types of ultrafine carbon particles were instilled in mice. Low surface toxicity of diesel soot was cleared from the TEM and SEM images that showed tight aggregation of the crystallites. The surface area-to-mass ratio A/M of particles increaseed with decreasing particle size, and the belief was that not A/M but A was important as the surface area was the proper dose metric. Particle number tended to work best among all parameters that too worked quite well as dose metrics. Physical characterization of nanoparticles and methods to determine surface toxicity should be improved to identify dose metric for lung inflammation.

T1  - Effect of Formaldehyde on Asthmatic Response to Inhaled Allergen Challenge
AN  - 14798647; 10712792
AB  - Effect of formaldehyde on asthmatic response to inhaled allergen challenge was studied. The effect of short exposure to 500 mu >g/m super(3) formaldehyde on asthmatic response to inhaled allergen was examined and twelve subjects participated in the study with intermittent asthma and allergy to pollen. Each subject was exposed at rest to filtered air or to a concentration of 500 mu >g/m super(3) formaldehyde for 60 min on two separate days. Measurement were taken immediately before, during, and 8 hr after the end of the allergen challenge. The dose of allergen producing a 15% decrease in the forced expiratory volume (FEV) was defined as the PD sub(15)FEV. The total dose of allergen required to reach the expected respiratory effect was higher after formaldehyde exposure than air-only exposure and exposure to 500 mu >g/m super(3) formaldehyde did not enhance the asthmatic response to allergen.

AB  - Water arsenic exposure and intellectual function in 6-year-old children in Araihazar, Bangladesh were studied. A cross-sectional investigation of intellectual function in 301 children and cohort study of 11,749 adult residents were done. Water arsenic concentrations of the tube well samples and urinary arsenic concentrations were analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA). Blood samples for the measurement of blood lead (BPb) and hemoglobin concentrations were taken. Quality of home was measured and then in the clinic, weight, height, and head circumference were assessed. Intellectual function of children was assessed using subtests drawn from the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Cross sectional study of arsenic expands concerned about arsenic neurotoxicity to a younger age group.

T1  - Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis-Like Granulomatous Lung Disease with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Exposure to Hot Water Aerosols
AN  - 14798251; 10712800
AB  - Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP)-like granulomatous lung disease with nontuberculous mycobacteria from exposure to hot water aerosols was studied. Clinical presentation and investigations of four cases of hot lung and review of the English print literature on this disease were done. Medical records of all cases diagnosed with HO-like granulomatous lung disease with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from exposure to hot water aerosols from hot tubs in immunocompetent individuals at the various physician practices in Springfield, Illinois, during the period 2001-2005 were reviewed. Primary prevention of this disease required ventilation and cleaning of hot tub and secondary prevention of hot tub lung required education of both the general public and clinicians to allow for the early diagnosis of this disease.

T1  - Environmental Health Impacts of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Anticipating Hazards-Searching for Solutions
AN  - 14797577; 10712805
AB  - Environmental health impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) were discussed. The workgroup on health effects of airborne exposures from CAFOs expressed the view that international harmonization was needed for analytical methods for exposure assessment of biological agents namely, bacterial endotoxin, fungal glucan, and other pathogen associated molecular patterns. They recommended that panel studies be performed among susceptible populations exposed to CAFO emissions as this approach was most effective for determining responsible agents and disease mechanisms. Workgroup found that additional studies should seek to identify links between specific agents ascribed to CAFO emissions and health outcomes in the rural community and also noted that research funding for agriculture should be reoriented to sustainable systems. Several major concerns were brought in light by the reports and attention paid to these risks among the scientific community, the public, and government is encouraging.

T1  - Changes in Blood Lead Levels Associated with Use of Chloramines in Water Treatment Systems
AN  - 14797434; 10712794
AB  - Changes in blood lead levels (BLLs) associated with use of chloramines in water treatment systems, were identified. Using Geographic information system (GIS)-based analysis it was sought to test the potential effect on childhood BLLs of switching to chloramines for disinfection in water treatment systems using data from Wayne County in North Carolina. Results suggested that the change of water treatment by chlorine disinfection might lead to increase in BLLs and newer housing could mitigate its impact. Water treatment strategies could be optimized across the multiple objectives that municipalities face in providing high-quality drinking water to local residents.

T1  - Impacts of Waste from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations on Water Quality
AN  - 14795895; 10712808
AB  - Impacts of waste from concentrated animal feeding operations on water quality, are studied. Contaminants from animal wastes can enter the environment through pathways such as through leakage from poorly constructed manure lagoons. Overapplication of livestock wastes can overload soils with both macronutrients namely, nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P), and heavy metals added to feed as micronutrients and can cause contaminants to move into receiving waters. Anoxic conditions and extremely high concentrations of ammonium, total phosphorus, suspended solids, and fecal coliform bacteria throughout the water column are documented as impacts of waste effluent spills from CAFOs. Presence of many contaminants from livestock is documented in water supplies and exposure to waterborne contaminants shows several human health impacts. Ecosystem monitoring, toxicologic assessment of contaminants, water treatments, pollution prevention and conduction of surveillance are priority research needs to solve this problem.

T1  - Mechanisms of Acquired Androgen Independence During Arsenic-Induced Malignant Transformation of Human Prostate Epithelial Cells
AN  - 14795697; 10712797
AB  - Mechanisms of acquired androgen independence during arsenic-induced malignant transformation of human prostate epithelial cells, were studied. The molecular mechanism by which arsenic impacted prostate tumor cell progression using chronic arsenic-transformed prostate epithelial cells (CAsE-PE) was examined. HER-2/neu protein in transformed CAsE-PE cell was expressed at levels > 400% greater than control, K-Ras protein level in CAsE -PE cells was greatly increased and proteins downstream of K-Ras, including A-Raf and B-Raf showed greatly increased expression in CAsE-PE cells compared with control. There was also an increased expression of phosphorylated MEK1/2 and ELK in CAsE-PE cells compared with control. Blockage of MAPK inhibited androgen-regulated gene expression, highlighting the role of Ras-directed signaling pathways in arsenic-induced androgen independence. Thus arsenic, a common environmental contaminant can potentially stimulate both initiation and progression of human prostate cancer.

T1  - Health Effects of Airborne Exposures from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
AN  - 14795076; 10712806
AB  - Health effects of airborne exposures from concentrated animal feeding operations are studied. A number of toxic gases and vapors are emitted by concentrated animal feeding operations(CAFOs) into the work and general environments. On respiratory health of CAFO workers, several constituents of dust have been considered, studies have shown that sensitization rates to swine urine proteins among farmers are relatively low and cannot explain the high symptom rates in CAFO workers. Endotoxins have been identified as important causal and toxic agents in particulate exposure in the environs surrounding CAFOs, these exposures have been associated with increased symptoms, both respiratory and systemic, across-shift lung function changes, reduced lung function in cross-sectional studies and accelerated decline in lung function in longitudinal studies. International guidelines for occupational and community health are needed for specific toxicants and exposure levels should be maintained below the current standards.

T1  - Dust Weight and Asthma Prevalence in the National Survey of Lead and Allergens in Housing (NSLAH)
AN  - 14794759; 10712793
AB  - Effects of dust weight and asthma prevalence in the National Survey of Lead and Allergens in Housing (NSLAH) were studied. The data were obtained from the NSLAH, a cross-sectional survey designed to represent permanently occupied, noninstitutional housing units in United States. There were 2,456 individuals in the study population, living in 829 homes with dust samples. The objective was to identify predictors of dust weight and linear regression models were used identify relationship between dust weight and asthma. The strongest association of higher level of dust weight was seen for wheeze and they were also associated with greater odds of current asthma. It was suggested that dust not only gives an indirect measure of the particular agent but also gives an indirect measure of anything else that might be present in the household environment.

T1  - Succimer Chelation Improves Learning, Attention, and Arousal Regulation in Lead-Exposed Rats but Produces Lasting Cognitive Impairment in the Absence of Lead Exposure
AN  - 14794722; 10712791
AB  - To evaluate that succimer chelation improved learning, attention, and arousal regulation in lead-exposed rats and produced lasting cognitive impairment in the absence of lead exposure, a study was done. A 32 factorial design, with three levels of Pb exposure and two levels of chelation was used. Administration of succimer, using a regimen sufficient to reduce brain Pb levels, could lessen Pb-induced impairments in learning ability, attention, and regulation of arousal and/or emotion, showed that treatment with any chelating agent could alleviate cognitive defects caused by Pb exposure. A more prolonged treatment further improved performance in the High-Pb exposed animals. If a succimer treatment protocol that produced a substantial removal of Pb from the brain could be identified for humans, a functional benefit might be derived.

T1  - Novel method for on-road emission factor measurements using a plume capture trailer.
AN  - 69030178; 17310724
AB  - The method outlined provides for emission factor measurements to be made for unmodified vehicles driving under real world conditions at minimal cost. The method consists of a plume capture trailer towed behind a test vehicle. The trailer collects a sample of the naturally diluted plume in a 200 L conductive bag and this is delivered immediately to a mobile laboratory for subsequent analysis of particulate and gaseous emissions. The method offers low test turnaround times with the potential to complete much larger numbers of emission factor measurements than have been possible using dynamometer testing. Samples can be collected at distances up to 3 m from the exhaust pipe allowing investigation of early dilution processes. Particle size distribution measurements, as well as particle number and mass emission factor measurements, based on naturally diluted plumes are presented. A dilution profile relating the plume dilution ratio to distance from the vehicle tail pipe for a diesel passenger vehicle is also presented. Such profiles are an essential input for new mechanistic roadway air quality models.

T1  - Qualitative modelling of gold mine impacts on Lihir Island's socioeconomic system and reef-edge fish community.
AN  - 69029735; 17310721
AB  - Inhabitants of Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea, have traditionally relied on reef fishing and rotational farming of slash-burn forest plots for a subsistence diet. However, a new gold mine has introduced a cash economy to the island's socioeconomic system and impacted the fringing coral reef through sedimentation from the near-shore dumping of mine wastes. Studies of the Lihirian people have documented changes in population size, local customs, health, education, and land use; studies of the reef have documented impacts to fish populations in mine affected sites. Indirect effects from these impacts are complex and indecipherable when viewed only from isolated studies. Here, we use qualitative modelling to synthesize the social and biological research programs in order to understand the interaction of the human and ecological systems. Initial modelling results appear to be consistent with differences in fish and macroalgae populations in sites with and without coral degradation due to sedimentation. A greater cash flow from mine expansion is predicted to increase the human population, the intensity of the artisanal fishery, and the rate of sewage production and land clearing. Modelling results are being used to guide ongoing research projects, such as monitoring fish populations and artisanal catch and patterns and intensity of land clearing.

T1  - Evaluation of microwave irradiation for analysis of carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, cyanogen, ethyl formate, methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride, propylene oxide, and phosphine in hay.
AN  - 68394572; 17199310
AB  - Fumigant residues in hay were "extracted" by microwave irradiation. Hay, in gastight glass flasks, was placed in a domestic microwave oven, and fumigants were released into the headspace by microwave irradiation. Power settings for maximum release of fumigants were determined for carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon disulfide (CS(2)), cyanogen (C(2)N(2)), ethyl formate (EF), methyl bromide (CH(3)Br), sulfuryl fluoride (SF), propylene oxide (PPO), and phosphine (PH(3)). Recoveries of fortified samples were >91% for COS, CS(2), CH(3)Br, SF, PPO, and PH(3) and >76% for C(2)N(2) and EF. Completeness of extraction was assessed from the amount of fumigant retained by the microwaved hay. This amount was determined from further microwave irradiation and was always small (<5% of the amount obtained from the initial procedure). Limits of quantification were <0.1 mg/kg for COS, CS(2), C(2)N(2), EF, and PH(3) and <0.5 mg/kg for CH(3)Br, SF, and PPO. These low limits were essentially due to the absence of interference from solvents and no necessity to inject large-volume gas samples. The microwave method is rapid and solvent-free. However, care is required in selecting the appropriate power setting. The safety implications of heating sealed flasks in microwave ovens should be noted.

T1  - Solid-state conversion of fly ash to effective adsorbents for Cu removal from wastewater.
AN  - 68384904; 16839666
AB  - Solid-state conversion of fly ash to an amorphous aluminosilicate adsorbent (geopolymer) has been investigated under different conditions and the synthesised material has been tested for Cu2+ removal from aqueous solution. It has been found that higher reaction temperature and Na:FA ratio will make the adsorbents achieving higher removal efficiency. The adsorbent loading and Cu2+ initial concentration will also affect the removal efficiency while the adsorption capacity exhibits similarly at 30-40 degrees C. The adsorption capacity of the synthesised adsorbent shows much higher value than fly ash and natural zeolite. The capacity is 0.1, 3.5 and 92 mg/g, for fly ash, natural zeolite, and FA derived adsorbent, respectively. The kinetic studies indicate that the adsorption can be fitted by the second-order kinetic model. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms also can fit to the adsorption isotherm.

AB  - The A-PLUS Act of 2007 would restore federalism to public education by allowing states flexibility in spending their federal education dollars while still requiring an accountability system to provide parents and taxpayers necessary information. The states should have the option to stay under the No Child Left Behind regime or accomplish the same goals in a different way.

T1  - Joint attention, language, social relating, and stereotypical behaviours in children with autistic disorder
AN  - 85665706; 200808761
AB  - This study aimed to investigate the relationships between abilities to initiate and respond to joint attention and symptoms of autism that have, and have not, been theoretically linked to joint attention. Participants were 51 boys and five girls with autistic disorder, aged between 2 years and 6 years 5 months. Measures of joint attention behaviours, language, social relating, and stereotypical behaviour were administered during a single assessment. As predicted, the correlations between joint attention and the two behaviours theoretically linked to joint attention (i.e. social relating and language) were significantly stronger than those between joint attention and the behaviour not theoretically linked (i.e. stereotypical behaviour). While causation cannot be inferred from this study, these results support the suggestion that difficulties with joint attention behaviours commonly found among children with autism are linked to language and social relating, beyond what might be expected simply due to their co-occurrence as symptoms.

T1  - An Academic Integrity Approach to Learning and Assessment Design
AN  - 822506283; EJ903902
AB  - In this paper, we discuss the role of the educator in terms of designing a learning environment for the student which encourages the student to develop their own academic integrity. In such an environment, there is no need for the student to resort to plagiarism, as the learning and assessment tasks are not conducive to cheating, being unique and challenging for each student, regardless of the number of students enrolled in the particular course. We consider the learning design approach to assessment in the context of high-level vocational education. Educational resources are designed to support work-based knowledge and personal development capabilities. Educators assess to provide for professions, work contexts and individual learning needs. The major focus of this paper is discussion of the design of learning approaches and assessment tasks that disenable plagiarism and cheating, and promote problem-solving skills, academic integrity and creativity.

T1  - College Students' Perceptions of Learning and Knowledge Transfer in Problem-Based Video Instruction: A Case Study
AN  - 822506282; EJ903913
AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate college students' perceptions of learning and knowledge transfer in problem-based video instruction. To achieve this purpose, this study compared students' interview data of learning and knowledge transfer in problem-based video instruction (PBVI) that was produced for an undergraduate course of the special education field with those in two other kinds of instruction: (a) problem-based text instruction (PBTI) and (b) problem-based video instruction without group discussion (PBVI w/o GD) by using the constant comparison method. This study implies that the use of video in problem based instruction can positively affect college students' perceptions of learning and knowledge transfer and that group discussion should be carefully structured in order to improve its effectiveness in problem-based instruction.

T1  - Reflexive Practice: To Enhance Student Learning
AN  - 822506136; EJ903905
AB  - This paper reports on the use of reflexive practice activities designed to enhance learning for first year law students at James Cook University, Australia. The paper considers various aspects of student learning and explores connections between reflexive practice and concepts such as deep learning, understanding, motivation and engagement, and identifies abilities developed by reflexive practice. The paper explores terms such as reflection, reflexivity and reflexive practice, and provides a context, justification and rationale for incorporation of reflexive practice in university curriculum to enhance learning. A description of reflexive practice, informed by Prpic (2005) and adapted for student learning is offered. Learning activities which incorporate reflexive practice are described and potential problems are highlighted. (Contains 1 table.)

T1  - Reality versus Authenticity: Mapping the Scaffolding Needs for Teaching Intellectual Skills for Working in Television
AN  - 822505990; EJ903909
AB  - A number of elements of scaffolding are identified that contribute to the operationalization of real world video production projects as authentic learning environments in which students can learn the intellectual television production skills necessary for working in the television industry. Three key elements are identified. Firstly projects must be smaller in scale than "expressive-art" video production projects, to allow for staff involvement in areas of production such as working with clients, identifying audiences and preparing a number of cuts. Secondly, before students become involved, staff must clearly identify the stakeholders from the client organisation and the university, their roles and responsibilities, deadlines, resource availability, and conflict resolution procedures. Thirdly, staff must take on some level of producing responsibility on the projects.

T1  - Representing Authentic Learning Designs Supporting the Development of Online Communities of Learners
AN  - 815956293; EJ903906
AB  - Authentic learning designs have been explored for some time now and have frequently been shown to provide learning settings that provide many meaningful contexts for learning. These meaningful contexts provide not only encouragement for students to learn but also a raft of learning enhancements including higher-order learning and forms of learning support. The establishment of a sense of community among learners creates support mechanisms that can readily enhance learning outcomes. This paper describes several technology facilitated authentic learning designs that involve the development and support of learning communities. The learning designs are represented in several forms to provide an overview of the various elements in the learning setting and to indicate the learning and teaching strategies associated with the community development and support. The paper illustrates the different purposes learning design representations can serve and argues the need for further research, in particular, design-based research, to develop standard forms of representations that can be widely used to provide descriptions that support discovery and reuse.

T1  - A Critique of Generic Learning Outcomes
AN  - 815956167; EJ903907
AB  - Generic Learning Outcomes (GLOs) are intended to enable cultural heritage organisations to be aware of the effectiveness of the environment for learning that they provide and to provide quantitative evidence of the impact of museums libraries and archives on learning, nationally. This paper presents a logical critique of their strengths and limitations and proposes an alternative approach to assessing learning impact in lifelong learning contexts based on the five key learning activity types defined by Laurillard. GLOs are subjective, post hoc measures of factors only indirectly related to learning. Using Laurillard's framework, the variety and the heterogeneity of the informal lifelong learner group can be comfortably accommodated by a small number of learning experience types that can provide the foundation for specific "predictive" learning outcomes. So the risk of developing learning activities that do not work well can be avoided. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)

T1  - Report of Best Practice: Development of an Ethics Manual as an Integral Component of Undergraduate Curriculum and Application for Graduates and Practitioners
AN  - 815956163; EJ903899
AB  - An ethics manual to support undergraduate lectures or practitioners in a healthcare environment has been developed. The manual was developed from course materials designed to ensure an integrated approach throughout a four year pharmacy program as teaching professionalism, as well as professional ethics, has become increasingly important and a focus of significant research in the health professions. The manual strengthens the ethics component taught as part of the pharmacy program. The aim is to instill a culture of ethical reasoning and decision making in students that will then become part of their professional practice. Key ethical principles are introduced at the commencement of the manual, applied initially to student issues and then extended to a variety of relevant situations such as DNA technology and research and professional practice, culminating in a series of case studies investigating a range of ethical dilemmas necessitating sound ethical reasoning. Changes in consumer expectations and generally more ready access to health related information make it critical for health professionals to have a sound grounding in ethical reasoning skills. Educators need to change their approach to developing learning materials to reflect these consumer changes and to enable ongoing support for practitioners.

T1  - Designing for Reflective Practice in Legal Education
AN  - 815956037; EJ903904
AB  - Including reflective practice in tertiary learning design is one way of working towards making effective learning possible for students. This article considers how elements of reflective practice in teaching delivery and assessment have been successful in satisfying principles of effective teaching in the context of the study of law at first year level. The article also critically considers how some of the theoretical perspectives on reflective practice do not always resonate with the real learning experience of students, and makes suggestions in terms of addressing these issues, particularly in relation to assessment.

T1  - Applying Authentic Learning to Social Science: A Learning Design for an Inter-Disciplinary Sociology Subject
AN  - 815956019; EJ903900
AB  - As universities move towards more vocationally oriented courses, students expect pedagogic practices that make closer ties to potential workplaces. The pedagogical approach of authentic learning is well suited to this purpose as it proposes an apprenticeship-type model and a model that brings simulated work tasks into the classroom. In the social sciences, authentic learning is under-utilised and under-theorised as these subject areas do not fit easily into these models. An alternative model of authentic learning aims to offer students opportunities to "enmind" the requirements of a discipline, be critically reflective about that discipline, and to develop the skills to bring the discipline into their subjective experience. Using this model for authentic learning as a starting point, the authors have examined the applicability of authentic learning to the social sciences, derived relevant design principles and applied these to produce a learning design for a sociology subject that can be tested and critiqued. The purpose of this paper is to present this learning design as a starting point for discussion about a new form of authentic learning. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - Designed and User-Generated Activity in the Mobile Age
AN  - 815956005; EJ903903
AB  - The paper addresses the question of how to design for learning taking place on mobile and wireless devices. The authors argue that learning activity designers need to consider the characteristics of mobile learning; at the same time, it is vital to realise that learners are already creating mobile learning experiences for themselves. Profound changes in computer usage brought about by social networking and user-generated content are challenging the idea that educators are in charge of designing learning. The authors make a distinction between designed activity, carefully crafted in advance, and user-generated activity arising from learners' own spontaneous requirements. The paper illustrates what each approach has to offer and it draws out what they have in common, the opportunities and constraints they represent. The paper concludes that user-generated mobile activity will not replace designed activity but it will influence the ways in which designed activity develops. (Contains 1 table.)

T1  - Delivering on the E-Learning Promise: A Case for a Learning Environment that Enables Collaborative Online Problem Solving (COPS)
AN  - 815955776; EJ903901
AB  - Research spanning the last thirty years confirms that people learn better by active enquiry, collaboration and experimental problem solving than by passive reception and acceptance of information. Empirical evidence, as well as the pressing demands of pervasive social and technological change, requires learning and teaching approaches that combine problem centred learning and collaborative learning, and open up possibilities for equitable participation in real-world learning. This paper mounts a theoretical and pedagogical case for such an approach by examining the developmental work being conducted in this area at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). It argues for a collaborative online problem solving environment (known colloquially as COPS) that will combine the problem-centred and collaborative dimensions of learning. The developmental work of COPS seeks to go beyond current online learning and teaching resources offered by most learning management systems, to provide a framework and system to create and deploy environments where teams of student learners can collaborate, engage, grapple with and seek to make sense of authentic problems within an online environment. It seeks to do so by creating problem-centred "learning designs" that can be integrated with face to face teaching to bridge the gap between the classroom and real world experience.

T1  - Contemporary Approach to Writing Non-Linear Online Learning Resources
AN  - 815955724; EJ903910
AB  - Many academics continue to approach the multi-path and multi-voiced capacity of the Internet's networked nodal structure as if it were a book with pages and paragraphs and sentences that flow together in one direction to make a whole. A different approach to that of traditional writing, is required to make effective use of the distinctive communicative opportunities offered by networked media. Reconsidering the use of the familiar concept maps is one example. The mapped content can be transferred into table cells in a word processor document rather than into paragraphs. In this way the content author is guided into a non-linear jump-style of writing where meaningful connections are made in multiple directions; a style that is typical of networked media. The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to an alternative approach to developing content for learning resources. (Contains 5 figures.)

AB  - Present Educational Modelling Languages are used to formally specify abstract learning scenarios in a machine-interpretable format. Current tooling does not provide teachers/designers with some graphical facilities to help them in reusing existent scenarios. They need human-readable representations. This paper discusses the UML4LD experimental research work in relation to the graphical representation of abstract learning scenarios. We discuss the benefits teachers/designers can expect to reach as well as some scientific and/or technical obstacles researchers have to overcome to realize such models transformation. Our experiment concretely concerns the automatic generation of UML activity diagrams from IMS-LD learning scenarios. (Contains 1 table and 6 figures.)

AB  - In order to meet the demands of postgraduate students who were time poor and unable to regularly attend face-to-face classes, one lecturer in the Faculty Law at the University of Wollongong (UOW) sought the assistance of a Learning Designer to redesign the Postgraduate Practical Legal Training (PLT) program into a flexible blended learning format, using a block/online approach. The program used an authentic workplace-simulated model that took advantage of emerging technologies to enable effective online teaching and learning. This learning design was reused to redesign two subjects within the Postgraduate Engineering Management course. To monitor the effectiveness of this approach and to ensure quality in teaching and learning the Engineering program was evaluated, with positive results. (Contains 6 figures.)

T1  - Science is not sufficient: Irving J. Selikoff and the asbestos tragedy.
AN  - 69100133; 18184623
AB  - Professor Irving J. Selikoff (1915-1992) was America's foremost medical expert on asbestos-related diseases between the 1960s and early 1990s. He was also well known to the public for his media appearances on the burgeoning asbestos problem. Yet his reputation has been strikingly mixed. On the one hand, he has been portrayed as a mischief maker and irresponsible demagogue, who exaggerated the risks of asbestos and so destroyed an industry; on the other, as a pioneer in asbestos epidemiology, whose landmark studies of insulation (and other) workers demonstrated the severity of a modern occupational and public health tragedy. Drawing upon unprecedented access to the Selikoff archive at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, this article demonstrates that the most serious criticisms of Selikoff are either ill-founded or simply false. It also shows that Selikoff, in the highly politicized world of asbestos science, was a far more complex and conservative individual than previous studies have suggested.

T1  - Twelve-month tolerability and safety of sumatriptan-naproxen sodium for the treatment of acute migraine.
AN  - 68988151; 17285787
AB  - To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sumatriptan-naproxen sodium for the treatment of moderate to severe acute migraines and to assess the safety of administration of an optional second dose.
          A 12-month, multicenter, open-label safety study was conducted in adults treated for migraine attacks of moderate to severe intensity from April 14, 2004, to August 18, 2005. Safety evaluations included adverse events and laboratory tests. Of 600 patients enrolled, 565 (94%) were treated for at least 1 migraine. Of treated patients, 414 (73%) and 362 (64%) completed 6 and 12 months of treatment, respectively. Of the 24,485 attacks treated, 17,144 (70%) were treated with only 1 dose. On average, patients treated 5 migraine attacks per month, with a median of 6 days between attacks. The most common treatment-related adverse events were nausea, muscle tightness, and dizziness. Fourteen patients reported 1 or more serious adverse event with only 1 judged probably related to treatment. No deaths occurred. Eight percent of patients discontinued participation in the study because of adverse events or pregnancy. The rates of adverse events reported were no higher after treatment with 2 tablets (at least 2 hours apart) compared with 1 tablet. In this 12-month data set of more than 24,000 migraine attacks in 565 patients, sumatriptan-naproxen sodium formulated in a single tablet was well tolerated when used episodically for the treatment of acute migraine. The adverse events did not differ from those expected for the individual components alone, and no new or unexpected findings occurred.

T1  - Modelling and design of extremely low frequency uniform magnetic field exposure apparatus for in vivo bioelectromagnetic studies.
AN  - 68514547; 18002296
AB  - Helmholtz coils are regularly utilised for various extremely low frequency (ELF) bioelectromagnetic experiments. The evaluation was conducted for the Helmholtz coil magnetic field frequency and uniformity, characterised by frequency-domain and geometric ELF magnetic exposure characteristics. An established approach which consisted of the mathematical calculations of the geometric parameters, computational modeling, and experimental development measurements of the Helmholtz coil's magnetic field frequency and uniformity, improved the quality of magnetic field uniformity and minimised the magnetic field intensity losses.

T1  - Anaerobic digestion of food waste: comparing leachate exchange rates in sequential batch systems digesting food waste and biosolids.
AN  - 68430760; 17055238
AB  - Over 35,000 tonnes of food waste are generated from high concentration point sources (i.e., restaurants, hospitals and markets) in metropolitan Adelaide (Australia) each year. Anaerobic digestion is a preferred method of treatment to degrade highly putrescible waste streams such as food waste due its high methane potential. To maximise methane yield, a sequential batch anaerobic system was chosen as the most appropriate system. Two sets of sequential batch systems consisting of mature and start-up reactors in triplicate exchanged leachate. One set exchanged twice as much leachate by volume as the other set to determine the effects of different leachate exchange volumes. Results show that by increasing the leachate volume between mature and start-up reactors, the time to degrade feedstock decreases, but total methane generation yields did not markedly differ, being 229LCH4 kg(-1) VSadded and 214LCH4 kg(-1) VSadded. Process parameters used to determine when to cease leachate exchange in start-up reactors were a pH of 6.5 and methane generation rate of >0.5LCH4 kg(-1) VSadded day(-1). Changes in carbon dioxide and methane biogas composition in the mature reactors reflected process stress caused by the addition of leachate with high VFA concentrations from the start-up reactors and indicate there may be limits to leachate exchange rates and subsequent loading of mature reactors.

T1  - Antimicrobial activity of lysostaphin and a Listeria monocytogenes bacteriophage endolysin produced and secreted by lactic acid bacteria.
AN  - 68389147; 16490333
AB  - The expression and secretion signals of the Sep protein from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 were used to direct export of two peptidoglycan hydrolases by Lb. fermentum BR11, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 and Lactococcus lactis MG1363. The production levels, hydrolytic and bacteriocidal activities of the Listeria monocytogenes bacteriophage N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase endolysin Ply511 and the glycylglycine endopeptidase lysostaphin were examined. Buffering of the growth media to a neutral pH allowed detection of Ply511 and lysostaphin peptidoglycan hydrolytic activity from all lactic acid bacteria. It was found that purified Ply511 has a pH activity range similar to that of lysostaphin with both enzymes functioning optimally under alkaline conditions. Supernatants from lactobacilli expressing lysostaphin reduced viability of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by approximately 8 log(10) CFU/ml compared to controls. However, supernatants containing Ply511 were unable to control L. monocytogenes growth. In coculture experiments, both Lb. plantarum and Lb. fermentum synthesizing lysostaphin were able to effectively reduce MRSA cell numbers by >7.4 and 1.7 log(10)CFU/ml, respectively, while lactic acid bacteria secreting Ply511 were unable to significantly inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes. Our results demonstrate that lysostaphin and Ply511 can be expressed in an active form from different lactic acid bacteria and lysostaphin showed superior killing activity. Lactobacilli producing lysostaphin may have potential for in situ biopreservation in foodstuffs or for prevention of S. aureus infections.

T1  - Worker exposure and a risk assessment of malathion and fenthion used in the control of Mediterranean fruit fly in South Australia.
AN  - 68372547; 16914134
AB  - In 2001, an outbreak of Mediterranean fruit fly in Adelaide was controlled by South Australian Government workers applying organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) to domestic gardens. Residents made claims of adverse effects associated with allegations that worker application practices were poor and led to contamination of homes, residents and pets. The concerns led to a Parliamentary enquiry, the suspension of OP applications for fruit fly control, and the investigation of alternative methods of combating fruit fly in metropolitan Adelaide. The extent of exposure of workers and residents was not estimated. This paper describes a simulated application of the OPs concerned (fenthion and malathion) with measurements of potential exposure through inhalation, dermal contact and deposition of pesticides on surfaces. The data were used as part of a toxicological risk assessment to determine the likely impact of the use of these insecticides. Malathion, used as a 1% suspension in a protein bait mixture, was found to have little potential for airborne exposure, although some workers were found to have up to 0.315 microg/cm(2) malathion deposited on overalls (principally on forearms) and over 500 microg deposited on liner gloves and hats, respectively. Risks to workers and residents were low, with exposures likely to be a small fraction of the acceptable daily intake. Fenthion, used as a 0.05% foliar cover spray, was found between 0.02 and 0.23 mg/m(3) in air 10 m downwind from spray activity and was unlikely to pose a significant risk to residents, since exposures were of short durations of up to 20 min. Personal air samples of spray workers averaged 0.55 mg/m(3) (Workplace Exposure Standard 0.20mg/m(3)). Since workers were usually engaged in spraying for a large proportion of the day, this demonstrates the need for respiratory protective equipment. Maximum deposition of fenthion on workers overalls ranged from 0.06 to over 0.20 microg/cm(2), although little was found on gloves and hats, suggesting workers were skilled in avoiding the plume of overspray. Dialkyl phosphates (metabolites of OP insecticides) were not detected in urine of workers, and there were no changes observed in serum cholinesterase (SChE) enzyme activities 24h following the simulation. These data suggest absorption of OP insecticides by workers was negligible. Deposition on surfaces 5 and 10 m downwind ranged from none detected to 145 microg/cm(2), suggesting that exposure of residents and children in contact with contaminated surfaces (such as garden furniture or play equipment) is possible. Estimates of the potential dermal intake of fenthion by children from contaminated surfaces suggested that risks of acute and chronic effects are slight, since exposures may occur for short periods at intervals of approximately 10 days during fruit fly outbreaks.

T1  - Sudoku
AN  - 62061703; EJ779067
AB  - In this article, the author discusses Sudoku--a logic puzzle that has appeared in many newspapers in recent years. In its introductory form it consists of a 9x9 grid in which the digits 1 to 9 inclusive are each to be placed nine times in the 81 separate cells of the grid. Each row and each column may not have any digit repeated. If these were the only rules, then the solved puzzle would be called a Latin square. This name was invented by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) who first created one on a 3x3 grid using the Latin numeral characters I, II and III. Furthermore, accompanying explanation of the rules of Sudoku in many newspapers claims that solving Sudoku requires no mathematics. However, this is an incorrect statement, for although no calculations seem to be required, the solution of a Sudoku puzzle may require the use of logical reasoning, deduction, and "reductio ad absurdum" techniques which are all part of the rich tapestry of mathematics. Sudoku has an extra constraint compared with a regular 9x9 Latin square. Each of the nine non-overlapping 3x3 sub-grids along the edges and in the centre of the larger grid must also contain the digits 1 to 9 without repetition. To enable a Sudoku puzzle to be solved, particular digits or clues are fixed in place in some cells at the start. The number of these varies, but they should be placed so that the solution is unique. At this stage no one has created a solvable 9x9 Sudoku puzzle with fewer than 17 given clues, but this lower limit has not been proved mathematically. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - Students' Conceptions of Models of Fractions and Equivalence
AN  - 62061654; EJ779072
AB  - A solid understanding of equivalent fractions is considered a steppingstone towards a better understanding of operations with fractions. In this article, 55 rural Australian students' conceptions of equivalent fractions are presented. Data collected included students' responses to a short written test and follow-up interviews with three students from each year. This exploratory study found most participating Years 4, 6 and 8 students were familiar with geometric area models, particularly circles, and able to explain equivalent fractions when presented geometrically as area models but had difficulties when equivalents were presented numerically as a/b. (Contains 5 tables and 2 figures.)

T1  - Pythagorean and Heronian Triangles
AN  - 62061560; EJ779100
AB  - The basic Pythagorean theorem for right-angled triangles is well-known in mathematical terms as a[squared]+b[squared]+c[squared] were "a," "b," and "c" are the lengths of the sides of the triangle with "c" as the hypotenuse. When "a," "b," and "c" are all integers and obey this equation, they are referred to as a Pythagorean triple. One property of right-angled triangles based on Pythagorean triples is that their areas are always integers. Triangles that are right-angled and have integer sides and areas are referred to as Heronian triangles. These are called as such, because they depend on the rationalization of the formula for the area of a triangle given by Heron, a first century Egyptian engineer from Alexandria. In this article, the authors describe how Pythagorean triples and Heronian triangles are generated. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)

T1  - Using Paper Folding, Fraction Walls, and Number Lines to Develop Understanding of Fractions for Students from Years 5-8
AN  - 62060994; EJ779071
AB  - Several researchers have noted how children's whole number schemes can interfere with their efforts to learn fractions. An Australian study found that children who were successful with the solution of rational number tasks exhibited greater whole number knowledge and more flexible solution strategies. Behr and Post (1988) indicated that children needed to be competent in the four operations of whole numbers, along with an understanding of measurement, for them to understand rational numbers. This paper describes a "hands on" approach developed by researchers that focuses on the use of paper folding, fraction walls and number lines to develop an understanding of fractions using a measurement model.

T1  - Paper Sizes and Mathematics
AN  - 62056451; EJ769970
AB  - Reams of paper come in a standardised system of related sheet sizes. Most people are familiar with the international paper sizes A4, A3 and B4, but there are others. The ratio of the sides of any sheet in the series is such that if the paper is cut or folded in half on itself then the ratio of the sides remains unchanged. Due to this property of constant proportions when folding, artwork will enlarge or reduce photographically to fit any international paper size. In this article, the author performs some mathematical magic with an A4 sheet in a topological sense and shows how to cut a hole in this sheet so that an average-sized adult can easily pass through the hole without ripping the paper.

T1  - An Overview of Dyscalculia: Methods for Ascertaining and Accommodating Dyscalculic Children in the Classroom
AN  - 62055718; EJ776577
AB  - For many children, mathematics is an inherently difficult subject to learn. Between 5 and 8 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 14 have a particular type of cognitive deficiency that limits their aptitude to acquire knowledge and understanding of fundamental ideas in numeracy. Increasingly, researchers in the cognitive sciences are studying this deficiency under the name dyscalculia, a disorder in which normally intelligent children demonstrate specific disabilities in learning mathematics. Teachers need to be informed about dyscalculia so that they can implement strategies that intentionally and explicitly accommodate students who have this disorder. This paper defines dyscalculia, considers the origins of dyscalculia in psychological, biological, and pedagogical contexts, describes the criteria required to diagnose students with dyscalculia, and delineates practical methods and instructional designs that can be implemented in the classroom to address the specific learning needs of dyscalculic learners.

T1  - Abstracting in the Context of Spontaneous Learning
AN  - 62054618; EJ780185
AB  - There is evidence that spontaneous learning leads to relational understanding and high positive affect. To study spontaneous abstracting, a model was constructed by combining the RBC model of abstraction with Krutetskii's mental activities. Using video-stimulated interviews, the model was then used to analyze the behavior of two Year 8 students who had demonstrated spontaneous abstracting. The analysis highlighted the crucial role of synthetic and evaluative analysis, two processes that seem unlikely to occur under guided construction. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - Make Your School's Numeracy-across-the-Curriculum Policy
AN  - 62054362; EJ776595
AB  - This article considers steps towards making a numeracy-across-the-curriculum policy. Numeracy means more than the kind of everyday arithmetic a person (a competent independent adult) needs to handle whole number (and simple decimal) calculations; e.g., money, time, and simple measurement. Importantly, aspects of numeracy arise in any everyday task or question which involves mathematical thinking, including logical reasoning, critical analysis, categorisation and sorting, and problem-solving. Numeracy also includes spatial thinking, visual representation, analysis of cause and effect and randomness in events, and data-handling, which arise in many seemingly non-mathematical parts of the school curriculum, the non-mathematics key learning areas such as Science, Social Sciences or Humanities, Arts, Technology, Physical Education, and Languages. In this article, the author presents the Erehwon (Secondary) School Numeracy-across-the-Curriculum Policy as an example. He discusses numeracy across a sample Key Learning Area (KLA) such as the Arts.

T1  - Investigating the Relationship between Fraction Proficiency and Success in Algebra
AN  - 62053558; EJ779069
AB  - Teachers all over the world are aware that students struggle with fractional concepts and with elementary algebra. Support for this assertion can be found in a variety of research reports. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a United States report, indicates that students have recurrently demonstrated a lack of proficiency in these areas over the past twenty years (NCES, 2000). An analysis of the 1990 NAEP in mathematics achievement found that only 46 percent of all high school seniors demonstrated success with a grasp of decimals, percentages, fractions, and simple algebra. The inability to perform basic operations on common fractions has led to error patterns that emerge in learning algebra. In this article, the authors present a study which determines if a relationship existed between proficiency with common fractions and success in algebra and its results. Proficiency in this context indicates that not only is a student able to understand fraction concepts, but also that the student is able to manipulate fractions for accurate computation without the aid of a calculator. In this study, an "ex post facto" design was used to compare students' performance in elementary algebra and intermediate algebra with their ability to understand and manipulate fractions.

T1  - The Game of Hex
AN  - 62053116; EJ779068
AB  - In this article, the author discusses the game of Hex, including its history, strategies and problems. Like all good games, the rules are very simple. Hex is played on a diamond shaped board made up of hexagons. It can be of any size, but an 11x11 board makes for a good game. Two opposite sides of the diamond are labelled "red," the other two sides "blue" (or, often, "black" and "white"). The hexagons at the vertices of the diamond belong to either side. The game is for two players. One has a supply of red pieces, the other a supply of blue pieces. If the board is of suitable size, draughtsmen make good pieces. The players alternately place their pieces on any of the hexagons, providing that hexagon is unoccupied. Each player tries to construct an unbroken chain of pieces from one side to the opposite side: red to red, or blue to blue. (Contains 6 figures.)

T1  - In Search of Beauty
AN  - 62053072; EJ779070
AB  - In 1854 the German scientist Zeising claimed that the ratio of a person's height to the height of their navel is in the same ratio as the Golden Ratio ([phi] = 1.62). There is so much hype about the Golden Ratio that it is worth reading an article at http://www.maa.org/devlin/devlin_06_04.html. It explains why some of the more far-fetched ideas are actually true and why some suggestions, such as Zeising's, gain credibility. One answer has been provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS wishes to see its statistics widely used as it contributes to its mission of "assisting and encouraging informed decision making, research and discussion." It therefore takes quite seriously the task of educating, and assisting those who educate, about statistics. In this article, the author talks about the well designed and user friendly website of ABS. Of particular interest to teachers is the Census At School section of their website www.abs.gov.au. Teachers can ask students from Years 5 to 12 to go online and answer a series of questions about themselves. The ABS keeps a database of the responses and anyone can go online and download a random sample of those responses. Teachers can also download very useful materials such as question sheets that help their students work through and understand the data they download.

T1  - Measuring Distances Using Digital Cameras
AN  - 62052986; EJ779101
AB  - This paper presents a generic method of calculating accurate horizontal and vertical object distances from digital images taken with any digital camera and lens combination, where the object plane is parallel to the image plane or tilted in the vertical plane. This method was developed for a project investigating the size, density and spatial distribution of shrubs growing as hedges. The geometry of objects projected on to parallel and oblique image planes was used to develop an equation for calculating horizontal and vertical distances from image pixel counts. Images of a grid were taken with a variety of digital cameras at different focal lengths, image-object distances and vertical tilt angles. The equations were also tested by taking a set of photos of shrubs in a hedge field experiment. The results show a very strong correlation between calculated distances and physical measurements across a range of cameras, focal lengths, distances and vertical tilt angles. A small constant error was found in two of the three cameras tested suggesting that effective image size may vary from published sensor dimensions in some cameras. Cameras should be calibrated to check for any constant error before using the equations described in this paper. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)

AN  - 62051507; EJ776257
AB  - This study implemented a multiplication program based on systematic practice, aimed at improving children's recall of basic multiplication facts. Four Year 5 classes were recruited to participate in the study. Two classes practised multiplication facts using pencil and paper worksheets and another two classes practised on computers. Eleven practice sessions (each of 15 minutes duration) were conducted over a four week period. Both groups increased their recall of basic multiplication facts and maintained the increase for at least 4 weeks after the termination of the program. Implications for mathematics instruction, and for the overall development of mathematical proficiency, are discussed. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.)

T1  - Fraction Proficiency and Success in Algebra: What Does Research Say?
AN  - 62050449; EJ776592
AB  - Fractions and algebra are critically important components of the mathematics education of the youth. Unfortunately, however, students have typically struggled in these areas. For this reason, teachers and researchers have focused their attention on these topics for at least the past century. This article discusses what research shows regarding fractions and algebra, particularly, on issues related to when fractions should be taught, how fractions should be taught, and how competence with fractions affects the transition from arithmetic to algebra will be considered. Suggestions for teacher practice are included throughout the article.

T1  - "Back to Basics" or "Forward to Basics"?
AN  - 62049760; EJ776573
AB  - Politicians have used the promise of "back to basics in our schools" as an educational platform for some time now, possibly in recognition that this is something the general population perceives as an issue they might just vote for. In the various positions the author has held, both professional and in community service, she has been required to respond to ministerial correspondence, questions on notice in parliament, questions by the media and policy positions on issues such as the following: (1) When are children taught long division?; (2) Why aren't children taught long division anymore?; (3) Why can't our children work with fractions?; and (4) Why do children need a calculator to work things out when we were taught to do them in our heads? For voters to ask these questions of their members of parliament and for them subsequently to make headlines in newspapers, these questions clearly strike a chord with many members of the voting public. In this article, the author discusses this phenomenon from her perspective as a public servant and from a broader perspective as a mathematics educator and teacher. It is not her intention to provide definitive answers, but merely to raise awareness, explore the topic, and make suggestions for solutions in the hope that teachers and educators can gain a better understanding of the issues and why they are issues. Thus they might be able to provide informed responses to the community and parents when the issues are raised. (Contains 2 notes.)

T1  - A Dialectical Approach to the Formation of Mathematical Abstractions
AN  - 62049408; EJ780184
AB  - This paper is structured in two sections. The first examines views of mathematical abstraction in two broad categories: empiricist and dialectical accounts. It documents the difficulties involved in and explores the potentialities of both accounts. Then it outlines a recent model which takes a dialectical materialist approach to abstraction in context. This model constitutes the basis of the second section where we describe an empirical study designed to investigate mathematical abstraction in socially rich (e.g., peer-interacted and tutor-assisted) environments. We then present data on two students working with the help of a tutor on tasks concerned with graphs of absolute value functions. On the basis of these data, we discuss four particular themes which are relevant to the purpose of this special issue and are important in the discussion of mathematical abstraction: human and artefact mediation, tutor interventions in assisting the formation of mathematical abstractions, implications of a dialectical view on student development, and the things that are abstracted.

AN  - 62049222; EJ780182
AB  - A model for processes of abstraction, based on epistemic actions, has been proposed elsewhere. Here we apply this model to processes in which groups of individual students construct shared knowledge and consolidate it. The data emphasizes the interactive flow of knowledge from one student to the others in the group, until they reach a shared knowledge--a common basis of knowledge which allows them to continue the construction of further knowledge in the same topic together.

T1  - Abstraction as a Natural Process of Mental Compression
AN  - 62048102; EJ780177
AB  - This paper considers mathematical abstraction as arising through a natural mechanism of the biological brain in which complicated phenomena are compressed into thinkable concepts. The neurons in the brain continually fire in parallel and the brain copes with the saturation of information by the simple expedient of suppressing irrelevant data and focusing only on a few important aspects at any given time. Language enables important phenomena to be named as thinkable concepts that can then be refined in meaning and connected together into coherent frameworks. Gray and Tall (1994) noted how this happened with the symbols of arithmetic, yielding a spectrum of performance between the more successful who used the symbols as thinkable concepts operating dually as process and concept (procept) and those who focused more on the step-by-step procedures and could perform simple arithmetic but failed to cope with more sophisticated problems. In this paper, we broaden the discussion to the full range of mathematics from the young child to the mature mathematician, and we support our analysis by reviewing a range of recent research studies carried out internationally by research students at the University of Warwick.

T1  - Schematising Activities as a Means for Encouraging Young Children to Think Abstractly
AN  - 62048056; EJ780178
AB  - One of the missions of education is to prepare children for complex tasks that occur in their cultural environment. By means of abstracting, the effects of this complexity can be reduced. Recent research and theoretical development show us that young children already seem to be able to think abstractly. The acknowledgement of this potential in young children may provide a vehicle for the promotion of more mathematical thinking. In this article, we describe an approach to abstraction that focuses on schematising activities. On the basis of our research, we conclude that young children are able to improve the quality of their abstract mathematical thinking by these means. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1  - Polya's Legacy: Fully Forgotten or Getting a New Perspective in Theory and Practice?
AN  - 62047824; EJ779108
AB  - Problem solving and student-centred learning have received a great deal of attention in mathematics curricula for schools and in some universities. Much of this emphasis developed from the pioneering work of George Polya in heuristics, problem solving, and mathematics education. In this study, the author reviews Polya's work, and some of its later extensions, in the light of current research findings. It is argued that, despite the attention it has received, problem solving remains a difficult skill, both to teach and to learn. Directions for future work are suggested.

T1  - Exploring Pre-Service Teachers' Understanding of Statistical Variation: Implications for Teaching and Research
AN  - 62047822; EJ779107
AB  - Concerns about the importance of variation in statistics education and a lack of research in this topic led to a preliminary study which explored pre-service teachers' ideas in this area. The teachers completed a written questionnaire about variation in sampling and distribution contexts. Responses were categorised in relation to a framework that identified levels of statistical thinking. The results suggest that while many of the students appeared to acknowledge variation, they were not able to provide adequate explanations. Although the pre-service teachers have had more real-life experiences involving statistics and have been involved in the study of statistical concepts at secondary school level, they still demonstrated the same misconceptions as those of younger students reported in research literature. While more students showed competence on the sampling question, they were less competent on the distribution task. This could be due to task format or contextual issues. The paper concludes by suggesting some implications for further research and teaching. (Contains 2 tables.)

T1  - Understanding Teachers' Resistance to the Curricular Inclusion of Alternative Algorithms
AN  - 62047698; EJ776255
AB  - This study focuses on a group of practitioners from a school district that adopted reform-oriented curriculum materials but later rejected them, partially due to the inclusion of alternative algorithms in the materials. Metaphors implicit in a conversation among the group were analysed to illuminate their perspectives on instructional issues surrounding alternative algorithms. Several possible sources of resistance to folding alternative algorithms into instruction were found, including the ideas that: successful learning does not involve struggling with mathematics, the teacher's role in the classroom is primarily to present information, and that mathematics learning progresses according to a fixed sequence of levels.

AN  - 62043749; EJ776256
AB  - This paper focuses on the construction, development, and use of mathematical models by prospective science and mathematics teachers enrolled in a university physics course. By studying their involvement in an inquiry-based, experimental approach to learning kinematics, we address a fundamental question about the meaning and role of abstraction in modelling when such approaches involve students encountering and resolving experimental error. We use a "tensions" framework to explore the capability of learners to make necessary connections between abstract mathematical models and physical phenomena. (Contains 5 tables and 8 figures.)

T1  - Conceptual Complexity and Apparent Contradictions in Mathematics Language
AN  - 62042243; EJ769975
AB  - Mathematics is like a language, although technically it is not a natural or informal human language, but a formal, that is, artificially constructed language. Importantly, educators use their natural everyday language to teach the formal language of mathematics. At times, however, instructors encounter problems when the technical words they use, as formal parts of mathematics, conflict with an everyday understanding or use of the same word, or related words. This article discusses this problem, including some examples, and offers some suggestions for handling the difficulties. The author offers four cases to discuss conceptual complexity and apparent contradictions in mathematics language: (1) graphed functions; (2) temperature variations; (3) southbound sailing ships; and (4) flowing rivers. The author also offers three recommendations for handling difficulties: (1) Be alert for possible confusion in word meanings and usage; (2) Use student talking to negotiate and construct correct understanding; and (3) Examine new terms, symbols, techniques, diagrams, and technical "apparatus".

T1  - Free Mathematics Software Resources--Which Word Caught Your Eye?
AN  - 62041291; EJ769966
AB  - Computers have been in schools and indeed some mathematics classrooms for more than 35 years. Some schools have chosen to centralise their computers in laboratories, while others have a mix of configurations and networks. Whatever the case, how extensive has been the classroom use of computers for teaching and learning in mathematics? What has their presence added to the classrooms and the learning experiences of students? What effect has there been on the pedagogy of teachers in this time? How has the content of the mathematics curriculum been changed by the presence of computers in mathematics classrooms or in accessible laboratories? In this article, the author does not intend to answer any of the questions, rather he intends: (1) to present some observations about current use of online learning objects developed for the states and territories by The Learning Federation (TLF); (2) to raise the awareness of teachers and teacher educators to the existence of these free software resources that are beginning to alter the patterns of computer use, pedagogy and content in classrooms; and (3) to present some findings of a recent pilot study in the use of these digital resources. He describes mathematics learning objects, cutting edge tools and ICT, and how these tools assist teachers and students.

T1  - Critical Evaluation of Internet Resources for Teaching Trend and Variability in Bivariate Data
AN  - 62041258; EJ769982
AB  - A search on the Internet for resources for teaching statistics yields multiple sites with data sets, projects, worksheets, applets, and software. Often these are made available without information on how they might benefit learning. This paper addresses potential benefits from resources that target trend and variability relationships in bivariate data. The paper is in five parts. The first is the introduction. In the second, trend and variability are defined. In the third, the author quotes research on the characteristics of data that influence students' discernment of trend and variability, and identifies data sets that have particular characteristics and that can be freely downloaded from the web. The fourth part of the paper is a short review of free text-based resources. The final part is a review of spreadsheet programs and Java applets. The paper is relevant to teaching and learning in secondary schools. (Contains 5 tables and 5 figures.)

T1  - Students' Conflicting Attitudes towards Games as a Vehicle for Learning Mathematics: A Methodological Dilemma
AN  - 62038279; EJ776252
AB  - Mathematics games are widely employed in school classrooms for such reasons as a reward for early finishers or to enhance students' attitude towards mathematics. During a four week period, a total of 222 Grade 5 and 6 (9 to 12 years old) children from Melbourne, Australia, were taught multiplication and division of decimal numbers using calculator games or rich mathematical activities. Likert scale surveys of the children's attitudes towards games as a vehicle for learning mathematics revealed unexpectedly high proportions of negative attitudes at the conclusion of the research. In contrast, student interview data revealed positive associations between games and mathematical learning. This paper reports on the methodological dilemma of resultant conflicting attitudinal data related to game-playing. Concerns arising from the divergence in the results are raised in this paper. Implications based on the experience of this study may inform educational researchers about future methodological choices involving attitudinal research. (Contains 5 tables.)

T1  - Celebrity Function Head: Putting the Fun Back into Functions
AN  - 62038274; EJ769968
AB  - For mathematics teachers who are continually looking for ways in which to engage their students in the learning process, the capabilities offered by technology answer the call. Whether the technology comprises computer based applications or graphics calculators, often boring aspects can be bypassed so that students can work on the "good bits" and build understanding. These tools, when used effectively, have been a great benefit to improving the cognitive development of many mathematical concepts. The advent of calculators in mathematics classrooms did not negate the need to understand the basics; similarly, graphics programs do not replace the need for simple experiences such as point-plotting and a table-of-values. While students' skills and understanding of graphing and algebraic manipulation is developing, reflective practice is necessary for them to clarify their ideas. Consolidation of concepts and skills is also achieved when the ideas are applied to alternative examples and new contexts. This article describes the "Celebrity Function Head" game, which was devised as a fun ending to the topic of curve sketching, and primarily as a way to practise and consolidate the key concepts. This article presents the family of the seven functions loosely defined as: (1) straight line; (2) parabola; (3) cubic; (4) hyperbola; (5) exponential; (6) logarithm; and (7) circle. The purpose of "Celebrity Function Head" is to identify the equation of a curve by asking questions relating to the features of those curves. A modification to the game may be to also produce a sketch of the function, which fits the syllabus requirements of sketching "a particular curve by determining its features from the equation". This article provides the set-up, rules, and scoring of the game. (Contains 2 tables.)

AB  - The transfer of data from one part of a computer to another has always been a complex task in which speed is traded against accuracy and the time required for error correction. Much more complex therefore is the transfer of information from one machine to another of a different type. Difficulties arise when machines are updated, when file formats are changed or data needs to be exchanged between machines for which the manufacturer has not provided suitable software. Most file transfer problems arise simply because of the passage of time. New operating systems often fail to recognise old peripheral devices and data from old software versions. In this article, the author discusses four important steps when transferring files from one system to another: (1) connectivity; (2) file compatibility; (3) archiving complete systems; and (4) housekeeping.

AN  - 62038204; EJ769978
AB  - This article comes largely from observations made on-the-job while teaching mathematics in a government high school in the ACT. The issues canvassed will be familiar to those who have considered the arguments for and against ability grouping in mathematics education. It is speculative in nature, hinting at a synthesis of opposing views in the ability-grouping debate and ending with a proposal about how the practice of streaming might be aligned better with numeracy outcomes.

T1  - An Application of Quadratic Functions to Australian Government Policy on Funding Schools
AN  - 62038190; EJ769985
AB  - In the "Sydney Morning Herald" of 23 March 2005, Ross Gittins argued that the funding arrangements for private schools positively encourage parents to move their children from the state system. The then Federal Minister for Education, Dr Brendan Nelson, in a letter to the "Herald" of 25-27 March, responded by saying that 68% of all school pupils go to state schools, and those students receive 76% of Government funds allocated to the totality of all pupils attending schools. He stated also that the policy of subsidising pupils who went to a private school resulted in taxpayer savings of $4 billion. However, the Minister's response did not address the extent to which more money could possibly be saved by having a different subsidy from the one currently offered by the Government. There are two conflicting factors in offering subsides to private school pupils. On the one hand, the greater the subsidy per pupil, the more pupils will enrol in private schools. On the other hand, the greater the subsidy per pupil the less money will be saved each time a pupil enrols in a private school. How do these factors balance out, and where would an optimal subsidy occur? The problem is closely related to other problems of optimisation that arise in business, industry and public policy. In this article, the author discusses how this problem can be modelled mathematically by means of a quadratic function that describes how the savings change as the subsidy changes.

T1  - Inference as Prediction
AN  - 62037039; EJ769972
AB  - Inference, or decision making, is seen in curriculum documents as the final step in a statistical investigation. For a formal statistical enquiry this may be associated with sophisticated tests involving probability distributions. For young students without the mathematical background to perform such tests, it is still possible to draw informal inferences based on data of various sorts, for example by comparing two graphical representations. In doing so it is important to be able to state the assumptions that are the foundation for the decision made. This article considers a straightforward context where students are asked to make predictions. These predictions are informal inferences that can be based on aspects of the scenario, the students' appreciation of the context, and their cognisance of the data presented.

T1  - Formative Feedback and the Mindful Teaching of Mathematics
AN  - 62037035; EJ769981
AB  - The authors of this paper examine the use of formative assessment as a tool to assist teachers of mathematics to become more mindful developers of curricula. They focus on instructional design that is based on careful examination of student answers to questions. Empirical studies have shown the effectiveness of formative assessment for students, and recent theoretical work indicates that the positive feedback aspect of formative assessment stimulates self-regulation and transformation, processes that are regarded as critical to developing intelligence. The authors apply these ideas of formative assessment to teachers of senior mathematics as they rethink instructional design. (Contains 4 tables.)

T1  - Unravelling Student Challenges with Quadratics: A Cognitive Approach
AN  - 62036981; EJ769977
AB  - The author's secondary school mathematics students have often reported to her that quadratic relations are one of the most conceptually challenging aspects of the high school curriculum. From her own classroom experiences there seemed to be several aspects to the students' challenges. Many students, even in their early secondary education, have difficulty with basic multiplication table fact retrieval. Difficulty retrieving multiplication facts directly influences students' ability to engage effectively in factorisation of quadratics, since factorisation is a process of finding products within the multiplication table. Students also find it challenging to recognise and understand varied representations of the same quadratic relationship. In her own classroom, she has explored various pedagogical strategies in order to mediate for the challenges that she has outlined--everything from rehearsal to real world applications. However, she felt that her pedagogical efforts lacked the necessary insight on how the brain creates memory and felt that her pedagogical directions might be enhanced with this knowledge. Therefore, in order to construct her own classroom solutions, she turned to cognitive science to assist her in better understanding the mechanisms of fact retrieval. She surmised that problems with quadratic relations might potentially be linked to the ways in which the brain constructs cognitive representations and this knowledge might in turn inform her pedagogical decision-making as a classroom teacher. This article is a sharing of her investigation, discussing the linking of cognitive science to pedagogy, as well as making the right kind of mathematical memories. She also discusses long-term semantic memory together with varied representations and classroom implications. (Contains 1 table.)

T1  - CACTUS (Calculator and Computer Technology User Service): Some Easter Mathematics
AN  - 62036603; EJ769969
AB  - In the Western Gregorian Calendar, the date of Easter Sunday is defined as the Sunday following the ecclesiastical Full Moon that falls on or next after March 21. While the pattern of dates so defined usually repeats each 19 years, there is a 0.08 day difference between the cycles. More accurately, the system has a period of 70 499 183 lunations which is about 5 700 000 years: more details are at astro.nmsu.edu/~lhuber/leaphist.html. This website also provides one version of an algorithm, attributed to Oudin, which is valid for any Gregorian year "y" to calculate the month "m" and day "dy" of Easter Day. In this article, the author shows how to manage a larger sample of dates by adapting the Oudin algorithm to a spreadsheet. With about forty calendars used in the World today, a study of cultural and religious dates often leads to interesting mathematical challenges.

T1  - Teaching Square Roots: Conceptual Complexity in Mathematics Language
AN  - 62036561; EJ769986
AB  - Mathematics is an "artificial" deliberately constructed language, supported crucially by: (1) special alpha-numeric characters and usages; (2) extra-special non-alphanumeric symbols; (3) special written formats within a single line, such as superscripts and subscripts; (4) grouping along a line, including bracketing using round brackets, parentheses, and braces; and (5) the clever use of two or more lines at a time (as in fraction notation), and the set-theoretic and logical connectives. Also in important "non-verbal" ways this "language" depends crucially on spatial-textual formatting devices, and non-verbal images, including tables with rows and columns, pictures, diagrams, and graphs, and spatial-visual conventions. These include isometric diagrams, angle-notch markings to show equal angles at the base of an isosceles triangle, chevron or arrowhead markings to show pairs of parallel lines, line-notch markings to show pairs of equal-length sides, arrowheads showing directions on axes of graphs, or on vectors and compass bearings. This article discusses the conceptual complexities in mathematics language. In the formal context of mathematics instruction, mathematical words or symbols may not always be clear. When learning new words, symbols, visual conventions, operations and procedures in mathematics, students must learn to distinguish the new and specific mathematical meanings from any familiar, looser, everyday meanings that might be confused with its mathematical use. This article also discusses how the "square root" was derived.

T1  - An Investigation of the Algebraic Curve y[superscript 3] - 3y + 2x = 0
AN  - 62035982; EJ769983
AB  - In this paper, the author investigates the algebraic curve defined by the relation y[superscript 3] - 3y + 2x = 0. Treating this relation as a reduced cubic in the variable y, he uses a procedure first discovered by the mathematician Scipione del Ferro (Nahin, 1998, pp. 8-10) to obtain an expression for y in terms of x, namely y = (-x + [square root](x[superscript 2]-1))[superscript 1/3] - (x + [square root](x[squared]-1))[superscript 1/3]. By applying de Moivre's theorem to each term on the right hand side of the second equation, he obtains three different branches of y and uses them to show that the domain of the curve is the set of all real numbers. He finds the derivative using implicit differentiation and uses it to determine additional properties and features of these branches. Although it might seem that a graphics calculator can be used to draw a graph of the curve from the second equation, there is a problem in that such graphs have a break over the interval -1 less than x less than 1. This suggests (incorrectly) that the interval -1 less than x less than 1 is not in the domain of the curve. He explains the reason for this problem in the last part of the paper.

For example, N = 6 is perfect, because the (relevant) divisors are 1, 2 and 3, and 6 = 1 + 2 + 3. On the other hand, N = 12 has divisors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, but since 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16, rather than 12, 12 is not a perfect number. Ways and exercises for finding perfect numbers are presented.

T1  - Creating Mathematics Performance Assessments that Address Multiple Student Levels
AN  - 62034685; EJ769974
AB  - In recent times there has been considerable commentary regarding the need to enhance mathematical assessment as evidenced by "Numeracy, A Priority for All: Challenges for Australian Schools" (2000). This emphasis on assessment is timely because, although the mathematical reform movement has produced much needed improvements in both curriculum and instruction, changes in assessment have not kept pace. As Ridgway states in "From Barrier to Lever: Revising Roles for Assessment in Mathematics Education" (1998, p.2), "As an issue of policy, the implementation of standards-based curricula should always be accompanied by the implementation of standards-based assessment. In fact, incremental change in assessment systems will foster concurrent improvement in professional and curriculum development." In this article, the author describes steps that he uses in teaching teachers to create performance assessments. By following a few simple guidelines, very useful performance assessments in mathematics can be designed and administered. These assessments will allow one to determine the level at which students comprehend and perform important mathematics. (Contains 2 tables.)

T1  - Add Another Dimension to Your Life: With a Bonus Recipe for Making Tesseracts
AN  - 62034652; EJ769980
AB  - A cube is a solid in three dimensions, with three mutually perpendicular right angles evident at the vertices. In this article, the author describes how to create a four-dimensional cube. Before searching this extra dimension, she first reviews what people know about zero, one, two, and three dimensions, and certain shapes in each of these. She then provides a recipe for building what she is trying to describe: instructions for making a (three-dimensional representation of a) tesseract or hypercube, or the four-dimensional equivalent of a cube. "Hypercube" is the more general term and applies in dimensions higher than three; the word tesseract is usually reserved for the specific four-dimensional case. (Contains 10 figures.)

T1  - Characteristics of Mathematics Teaching in Shanghai, China: Through the Lens of a Malaysian
AN  - 62032077; EJ776258
AB  - The mathematical performance of Chinese students, from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, is widely acclaimed in international comparisons of mathematics achievement. However, in the eyes of the Western educators, the environments established in Chinese schools are deemed relatively unfavourable for mathematics learning. This paper reports on a study that investigates the characteristics of effective mathematics teaching in five Shanghai schools. Findings reveal that those characteristics include (a) teaching with variation; (b) emphasis of precise and elegant mathematical language; (c) emphasis of logical reasoning, mathematical thinking and proofing during teaching; (d) order and serious classroom discipline; (e) strong and coherent teacher-student rapport, and (f) strong collaborative culture amongst mathematics teachers.

AB  - Head Start and Early Head Start provide high-quality comprehensive services to children and their families that help children develop cognitively and non-cognitively to enable them to succeed in school and in life. When families are under stress, that stress affects their children's development. One of the greatest stresses on families has been the ongoing impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and their aftermath on the people of New Orleans and the Gulf region. This document records testimony and suggestions for improving the relationship between the Federal Department of Health and Human Services and local Head Start programs to make it a supportive relationship that helps programs reach the high standards to which they aspire, and for increasing coordination between Head Start and State-funded pre-kindergarten programs in the affected region. Statements and additional material are included from: Honorable Michael N. Castle, Senior Republican Member, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education: Honorable Dale E. Kildee, Chairman, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education; Honorable John P. Sarbanes, Congressional Representative from Maryland; Pearlie Elloie, Director, Office for Children, Youth and Families, Total Community Action, Inc.; Ellen Frede, Ph.D., Co-Director, National Institute for Early Education Research, Rutgers University; Barbara Haxton, Executive Director, the Ohio Head Start Association; Mac McKeever, Out-County Head Start Director; Ross A.

T1  - Mathematical Research Using Real Data in the R-7 Classroom
AN  - 61956346; EJ793973
AB  - The idea of using mathematical research in the classroom to collect real data has been spoken about within education for many years. The question is, why should teachers bother with real data from their students' worlds and how do they actually put it into practice in the classroom? When using the mathematical research strategy for collecting, representing, and analysing real data, children are the driving force behind choosing the topics and questions for investigation. Consequently, interest and enthusiasm for learning is enhanced, as topics are about children and their own worlds. By forming and answering questions that are relevant to their own lives, children steer their own learning, producing new information that will potentially inform themselves, their peers, and family members. In other words, the conclusions that children reach via the mathematical research strategy have the potential to provoke change in others. Consequently, children will become aware of one of the many real world applications of mathematics: to inform others of trends, relationships, and advantageous options. In this article, the author takes an innovative approach to representing real data in the classroom. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - Mathematics Saves the Day
AN  - 61956297; EJ793977
AB  - Many people believe that the 1989 National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards heralded the biggest mathematics reform of the 20th century. Despite all reform efforts, recent studies indicate that mathematics taught in primary and middle school mainly consists of basic arithmetic tasks that use memorization and repetition. Today many students perform adequately on basic computational tests but have difficulty in applying mathematics knowledge to problems. Furthermore, it is apparent that an inordinate amount of time is spent on low-level procedures rather than on reinforcing conceptual understanding. An expectation for students to act as mathematicians is encouraged by the NCTM in the new "Principles and Standards." Most mathematics educators recognise the need for students to be engaged in meaningful and interesting mathematical activities. The vehicle of children's literature emerged in the author's search for pedagogy that enhances students' learning of mathematics. This article describes previous research in this area and discusses a Year 5 classroom that used children's literature to support mathematics learning.

T1  - Finding the Maths: Helping Students Connect Their Mathematical Knowledge to Other Contexts
AN  - 61956249; EJ793978
AB  - The plethora of data that confronts teachers on a daily basis requires that they know more than simply being able to calculate. It demands that they understand the context in which the mathematical ideas are embedded and what those ideas are telling them in relation to that context. Also, it necessitates that they are prepared to question how data, and the associated claims, are presented. For primary teachers, the implication is that they must be prepared to help their students to develop these skills. The "Finding the Maths" strategy described in this article has been shown to be successful in helping students achieve this outcome. The aim of using this strategy is to encourage students to develop the three types of thinking referred to in the numeracy framework (fluent operator, mathematical learner, and critical mathematician) and to assume the roles of the "mathematical learner" and "critical mathematician." This strategy was used in tandem with the "Debriefing the Numeracy" strategy that was designed to focus student thinking on the embedded mathematics in a particular context.

T1  - Promoting Repeating Patterns with Young Children--More than Just Alternating Colours!
AN  - 61956190; EJ793981
AB  - Patterning is an essential skill in early mathematics learning, particularly in the development of spatial awareness, sequencing and ordering, comparison, and classification. This includes the ability to identify and describe attributes of objects and similarities and differences between them. Patterning is also integral to the development of counting and arithmetic structure, base ten and multiplicative concepts, units of measure, proportional reasoning, and data exploration. The importance of early algebra and patterning is reflected in current curriculum frameworks in pre-school and primary years both in Australia and internationally. This article describes some teaching/learning experiences from a recent intervention study on patterning with 4-6 year olds. It was designed to encourage children to "see" the structure of patterns and to symbolise, represent, and transfer patterns from one mode to another. Children were exposed to complex repetitions and to patterns as rotations and translations. They developed their skills in seeing similarity and difference between attributes of objects. Through these experiences children were enabled to observe more than one attribute of pattern at one time: colour, number, shape, and orientation. The results of the study provide some direction for the teaching and learning of patterns and algebra in the transition to and in the first years of schooling. (Contains 3 tables and 2 figures.)

T1  - Dean's Great Discovery: Multiplication, Division and Fractions
AN  - 61956121; EJ793983
AB  - Multiplication, division and fractions are "hotspots" for students in the middle years with many students experiencing difficulty with these concepts. Arrays effectively model multiplication and help children develop multiplicative thinking and learn multiplication facts. In this article the authors show how an open-ended array problem enabled a Grade 5/6 student to think about the relationship between multiplication, division, and fractions. Here, they describe the project and "hot spot" mathematical tasks that they used, and provide some background on multiplicative thinking before presenting the case and a commentary of one student's exploration. This case was documented while they were working on a collaborative project with a team of upper primary teachers and a group of pre-service teachers at a local primary school.

T1  - Developing an Understanding of the Concept of Area
AN  - 61956091; EJ793986
AB  - When asked to calculate the area of a particular shape, one student responded by asking, "Is that the outside or the inside?" while another student replied, "I think it's the one where you put a little 2 next to it." Both of these responses indicate a lack of conceptual understanding of area and reinforce the research findings that students commonly confuse area and perimeter and that many elementary and secondary school students have an inadequate understanding of area and area measurement. This article describes a learning sequence undertaken by the author with a grade 3/4 class that focused on developing an understanding of the concept of area and was consistent with Tasmania's curriculum documents advocating that the core content for Standard Three should introduce students to area by covering shapes and objects. The recommended structure for teaching measurement topics up to, but not including formula or application, was incorporated into the learning sequence. (Contains 6 figures.)

T1  - Magic Squares: From Primary Classroom to Postgraduate Research in Ten Simple Exercises
AN  - 61956041; EJ793987
AB  - It is not often that one can introduce primary school students to a problem at the forefront of mathematics research, and have any expectation of understanding; but with magic squares, one can do exactly that. Magic squares are an ideal tool for the effective illustration of many mathematical concepts. This paper assumes little prior knowledge on the part of the student except for addition and multiplication, reflection and rotation; but, using questions and exercises throughout, finishes by posing a problem tough enough to test postgraduate mathematics students, to which no-one has yet managed to find a solution. In this article, the author invites students and their teachers to engage with the mathematics of magic squares. (Contains 13 figures.)

T1  - Using Spatial Skills to Interpret Maps: Problem Solving in Realistic Contexts
AN  - 61955988; EJ793988
AB  - One way of providing middle-school students with the opportunity to engage in realistic activities is to ensure that mathematical concepts and ideas can be taught and expressed in contexts closer to students' own experiences. Students are expected to learn serious, substantive mathematics in classrooms in which the emphasis is on thoughtful engagement and meaningful learning. Lesh and Harel (2003) have indicated that the kind of problem-solving situations that should be emphasised in the classroom are simulations of real-life experiences where mathematical thinking is useful in the everyday lives of the student or their family and friends. Such problems are worthwhile since they tend to reflect the nature of "real" problems because they are complex, ill-structured, contain multiple perspectives, and offer multiple pathways or solutions. In the investigation presented here, the authors consider the influence a genuine artifact has on students' spatial reasoning. They have found that middle-school students' are more likely to utilise a range of spatial skills to complete mathematics tasks when they are deeply engaged in an activity. They use artifacts that the students can readily relate to in everyday situations in order to enhance the authenticity of the classroom activity. Activities such as these allow students to embed themselves in the situation and thus help them make sense of mathematical ideas through spatial reasoning. Such skills and processes include building and manipulating mental representations of objects, perceiving an object from different perspectives, and interpreting and describing physical environments.

AN  - 61955936; EJ793989
AB  - Drawing upon research, theory, classroom and personal experiences, this paper focuses on the development of primary-aged children's computational fluency. It emphasises the critical links between number sense and a child's ability to perform mental and written computation. The case of multi-digit multiplication is used to illustrate these important links. The author states that, while the path to computational fluency is not a straight-forward one for most students, is it clear that the promotion of number sense is critical to a basic understanding of mathematics and a child's ability to compute easily.

T1  - 2, 4, 8: Doubling Snakes, Caterpillars and Goats Made Easy!
AN  - 61955902; EJ793990
AB  - Research has established that children's development of addition and subtraction skills progresses through a hierarchy of strategies that begin with counting-by-one methods through to flexible mental strategies using a combination of knowledge of basic facts and understanding of place value. An important transition point is the shift from the counting-by-one strategy for addition to a variety of strategies that do not rely on counting by ones. Assisting the child to develop sophisticated non-count-by-one strategies, such as doubling, also supports a child's progression through the ideas of equal grouping and skip-counting to multiplication and division. According to McIntosh (2004), encouraging students to concentrate on the mental computation strategies they use for counting, can lead to enhanced confidence in handling numbers and understanding place value. This article presents three complete lesson ideas designed to introduce and develop young children's confidence in the computation strategies associated with doubling numbers. The lessons also aim to develop children's problem-solving and working-mathematically skills, particularly skills in recording using drawings, numerals, symbols, and words. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1  - Functional Thinking in a Year 1 Classroom: Activities that Support Its Development
AN  - 61951890; EJ793982
AB  - The concept of a function is fundamental to virtually every aspect of mathematics and every branch of quantitative science. Presently this type of thinking is carolled at the secondary level, and yet it has many benefits for deepening the understanding of early arithmetic. This is particularly so in the way that operations can be considered as "changing" and how it explicitly illustrates the way in which addition and subtraction are inverse operations, with each "undoing" the other. With the move to introduce algebraic thinking into the elementary classrooms, this paper explores activities that exemplify this thinking with 6 year-old children. The authors collaboratively planned and implemented a series of hands-on activities over an eight-lesson program. The aim of these learning activities was to assist young children in understanding the key ideas in this area of mathematics. The activities not only encouraged active learning but also reflected the principles of socio-constructivist learning. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1  - How Does Measurement Apply to Pigeons?
AN  - 61951838; EJ793984
AB  - This article tells the story of one student who chooses her personal interest in pigeons and their lifestyle to demonstrate her understanding of measurement concepts. The student's work is used to consider the possibilities for assessment afforded by tasks designed within reform-based curricula. Anita (pseudonym) was a Grade 6 student who was part of a research project investigating how classroom teachers are positioning numeracy in an emerging values-based curriculum setting and how this positioning influences student experiences of numeracy and their development of mathematical understanding. The motivation for the larger project is the reform-based curriculum in Tasmania, centred around five Essential Learnings: Thinking, Communicating, Personal Futures, Social Responsibility, and World Futures (Department of Education, Tasmania [DoE], 2002), and encouraging transdisciplinary activities. Other Australian states and territories are also re-conceptualising curricula in terms of similar over-riding big ideas. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

T1  - A Trend Study of Self-Concept and Mathematics Achievement in a Cross-Cultural Context
AN  - 61950246; EJ788377
AB  - The TIMSS 1995, 1999, and 2003 data have been gathered from Hong Kong before and after its sovereignty switch from the United Kingdom to China in 1997. Built on a reciprocal relation theory from the research literature, this investigation is designed to examine models of student self-concept and mathematics achievement during the political transition. Along with a perceived "brain drain" from the population migration, there was a non-monotonic change in the reciprocal relationship between self-concept and mathematics achievement. In addition, indicators of mathematics achievement and self-concept have demonstrated different linkages to the permanent emigration of Hong Kong residents with valued or desirable skills and qualifications. Interpretation of these empirical findings entails a need of enhancing cross-cultural understanding in mathematics education. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.)

T1  - Teachers' Attitudes towards Proof of Mathematical Results in the Secondary School Curriculum: The Case of Zimbabwe
AN  - 61947706; EJ788376
AB  - This study investigated teachers' attitudes towards proofs in the secondary school mathematics curriculum. The study was motivated by a desire to fill a gap existing in the literature in relation to teachers' attitudes towards proofs. Thirty-four secondary school mathematics teachers' responses to a Likert type questionnaire and interviews were summarised using the five themes of utility, positive attitudes, methods of proof, negative attitudes, and suitability of level of students to perform proofs. The teachers expressed neutral attitudes on technology as a method of proof and disagreed that verbal proof was a valid method for proving the viability of mathematical claims. The implications of the results are discussed using the context of Zimbabwean classrooms with a view to promote debate on how teachers could implement learner-centred reform.

T1  - Making the Most of Chance
AN  - 61942116; EJ793970
AB  - Everyone knows that teachers do not have unlimited time, a log of experience, or a deep understanding of all the mathematics they teach. To solve this problem, teachers often use textbooks, and the accompanying teacher's resource books, as sources of activities and advice about how to help students learn mathematics. The activity that prompted this article (the "Two Spinners Game") came from such a resource. The authors observed two teachers using this activity in their Grade 5 classrooms. Both teachers prepared stimulating lessons in which students had opportunities to explore and extend their understanding of "chance" as the teachers drew out interesting concepts in the game. Unfortunately the teacher's resource book gave no details about the variety of important probability ideas that the classes could have explored, which restricted what the teachers covered in their lessons. In this article, the authors explore those ideas, highlighting the concepts the activity can develop, and suggesting variations that make the concepts more accessible. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1  - The Foundations of Chance & Data
AN  - 61939728; EJ793969
AB  - The fortunes of chance and data have fluctuated in the mathematics curriculum in Australia since their emergence in the National Statement in the early 1990s. Their appearance in Australia followed closely on similar moves in the United States. In both countries the topics, taken together, were given a section status equal to other areas of the mathematics curriculum, such as space or algebra. In Australia this was reflected in the curricula of many states. In recent years chance and data have held their place in the United States, but in some places in Australia have been diluted by being merged with other parts of the curriculum, for example both chance and data with measurement, or chance with number. As discussions proceed on national consistency across the state mathematics curricula in Australia, the place of chance and data appears to be in further jeopardy. In this article, the author explains how the two fundamental ideas of variation and expectation underpin the teaching of chance and data. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1  - The Role of Context in Students' Analysis of Data
AN  - 61938925; EJ793971
AB  - The results of the study reported in this article found that primary-aged students used context knowledge in three broad ways: (1) to rationalise the data or their interpretations; (2) in taking a critical stance toward the data; and (3) in ways that were not necessarily productive or pertinent in addressing the task at hand. When teaching students how to analyse data, it is important to realise that data are numbers in context and that data engage one's knowledge of the context so that he/she can understand and interpret rather than simply carry out arithmetical operations. This study was informed by a number of theoretical considerations. First, Dapueto and Parenti's (1999) theoretical model describes the relationship between context and the formation of mathematical knowledge, and from that theory, the authors identified three relevant factors for this study: (1) the students' field of experience, or familiarity with the context of data being analyzed; (2) whether the data analysis or interpretation necessitates the use of certain statistical knowledge; and (3) the meaningful role statistics plays in understanding or interpreting the data. Second, the notion of shifting or the interplay between data and context has been described by a number of researchers. Third, Gal's (2004) model of statistical literacy describes the types of knowledge (literacy skills, statistical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, context knowledge, and critical questions) and dispositions (beliefs, attitudes, critical stance) that enable a person to comprehend, interpret, critically evaluate, and react to statistical messages. The tasks described in this study are open-ended problems and give a wide range of students the opportunity to respond at their respective levels. The use of such tasks may also reinforce, for students, a view of mathematics as a relevant, interesting, and motivating subject. (Contains 6 figures.)

AB  - The notion of quality in undergraduate mathematics lectures is examined by using theoretical notions and research results from the literature and empirical data from a case study on lecturing on limits of functions. A systemic triangular model is found to catch critical quality aspects of a mathematics lecture, consisting of mathematical exposition, teacher immediacy, and general quality criteria for mathematics teaching. Mathematical exposition involves the dynamic interplay of mathematical content, mathematical process, and institutionalisation. The discussion is a contribution to an increased pedagogical awareness in undergraduate mathematics teaching. (Contains 10 figures.)

T1  - Is Your Classroom Mental?: Guidelines for Enhancing the Development of Strategies for Mental Computation
AN  - 61928562; EJ793974
AB  - Mathematical computation consists of both written computation and mental computation. The strategies for mental computation can be used to check the reasonableness of written computations. Mental computation has two distinguishing characteristics: "it produces an exact answer, and the procedure is performed mentally, without using external devices such as pencil and paper" (Reys, 1984, p. 548). It is important to consider the accuracy and efficiency of various mental computation strategies and this can be useful to discuss with students. Discussion about different strategies will enable students to consider different approaches and work towards development of efficient mental strategies for computation. Utilising a variety of strategies and methods for computation will enable students to develop a better understanding of computation processes and number sense. In this article, the authors put forth a strong case for an emphasis on developing mental calculation strategies with students, and suggest helpful teaching approaches to achieve this.

T1  - Fractions from Concrete to Abstract Using "Playdough Mathematics"
AN  - 61928517; EJ793976
AB  - In the middle years of primary schooling, the teaching of common fractions frequently involves written activities that use abstract representations of numbers, symbols, and images. Many students, however, still need the benefit of concrete materials and sensory motor experiences to enhance their understanding of the concepts associated with common fractions. The author's experiences with "playdough maths" provide evidence of effectively engaging learners in building bridges from concrete to abstract understanding in mathematics. This article presents some simple ideas for engaging students in working with common fractions and moving their understanding from concrete to abstract with ease and enjoyment. Common fractions are usually introduced in the early years of learning and associated with concrete materials. In the following years, students are often expected to work with numerical values or visual drawings of fractions. (Contains 8 figures.)

Although each grade had a different activity to undertake, all of the children struggled to grasp time-concepts that adults often take for granted. In this article, the author presents an historical account of time, a development of estimation strategies that draw on everyday experience, and the use of formal and informal units to assist primary students in grasping the issues surrounding the concept of time.

T1  - Mathematics Performance and the Role Played by Affective and Background Factors
AN  - 61927977; EJ788375
AB  - In this article, we report on a study examining those factors which contribute to the mathematics performance of a sample of children aged between 8 and 13 years. The study was designed specifically to consider the potency of a number of mathematical affective factors, as well as background characteristics (viz., gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status), on children's mathematics performance. Data were collected by surveying the children and drawing on performance ratings from their teachers. A correlation analysis revealed that the relationships between the respective dispositional and background variables with mathematics performance were significant and in the direction as predicted. Moreover, the findings from a logistic regression showed that a combination of these variables was able to appropriately classify students who either were below-average or above-average mathematics performers. We pay particular attention to the influence of certain dispositions with respect to mathematics performance and conclude by detailing the implications of the study for teachers and researchers.

T1  - Combining Teaching Experiments and Professional Learning: Conflicts between Research and Teacher Outcomes
AN  - 61927933; EJ788379
AB  - This paper examines the conflict in interest between teaching experiments and professional learning when they are combined in a research project. The study reported in this paper is the fourth year of a five year longitudinal study on the introduction of early algebraic concepts. The ten teacher participants are from five state primary schools in middle class areas in Brisbane, Queensland. The findings from this investigation suggest that potentially many conflicts exist between the interest of a teaching experiment and that of professional learning. Some of these conflicts can be overcome, others can be minimised by restructuring, but some are fundamentally inherent when the methodologies are combined.

T1  - Designing Professional Development to Support Teachers' Learning in Complex Environments
AN  - 61878475; EJ836493
AB  - The new Queensland "Mathematics Years 1-10 Syllabus" differs from previous syllabuses in that it has an outcomes structure that describes how students think, reason, and work mathematically. The main challenge for secondary teachers implementing the new syllabus lies in taking a more investigative approach to "working mathematically". This paper reports on a professional development project that supported a group of secondary mathematics teachers in planning and implementing mathematical investigations, consistent with the intent of the Queensland syllabus. The project was guided by a professional development model that applies Valsiner's zone theory to teachers' learning in complex environments. Participants were four pairs of mathematics teachers from four secondary schools in or near a Queensland regional city. Over five months the research team made three visits of two days each to work with the group of teachers. Follow up interviews were conducted nine months after the project's conclusion to investigate issues concerning sustainability. Implementation of the professional development model is illustrated by two case studies demonstrating different configurations of personal and contextual factors that supported or hindered teachers' learning. The outcomes of the project have implications for building a professional culture in schools, developing teacher leadership capacity, planning for sustainability, and scaling up.

One challenge for research is in understanding the processes and systems that promote a bridging of these gaps. A year-long study with four primary teachers documented ten support mechanisms, or connection levers, that the teachers raised as important for building their expertise, commitment, and confidence in teaching mathematics and statistics through an inquiry-based approach. Their words provide insight into how support helps teachers to take on and commit to innovative practices. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)

T1  - Preschool Educators' Sustained Professional Development in Young Children's Mathematics Learning
AN  - 61875823; EJ836497
AB  - This paper investigates the effects of a sustained professional development project in South Australia in which a small group of preschool educators worked with the authors to develop their own knowledge and skills in facilitating young children's mathematical learning. Through the development of an approach to pedagogy that linked the mandated learning outcomes for preschools in South Australia to powerful mathematical ideas, the preschool educators have changed their practices in mathematics education and the ways in which they think about these practices. As well, implementation of a narrative assessment approach has provided opportunities not only for the enhancement of children's learning but also enhancement of the educators' mathematical knowledge and skills. After providing background about current research on effective pedagogy in preschools, the paper considers the impact of the professional development project on the early childhood educators, particularly in terms of their growth in knowledge, skills and confidence in early childhood mathematics.

AB  - Reforms in education have repeatedly been confronted with the challenge of policy implementation. Recent initiatives in mathematics are no exception. Pressing for fundamental and complex changes to pedagogy, the initiatives demand much from teachers. In this article, we propose a conceptual frame for understanding how teachers and schools work to transform instructional practice. In integrating two aspects usually considered independently in research, we explore the way in which teachers make sense of the reforms, and the means by which schools make implementation possible for teachers. Our investigation focuses on two teachers, and explores how both attempt to enact the spirit of a national numeracy project. The exploration provides important insights about patterns of change in pedagogy that follow on from large-scale reform. (Contains 1 footnote.)

T1  - Investigating the Learning of a Professional Development Team: The Years 1-3 Mathematics Probes Project
AN  - 61874630; EJ836496
AB  - This study examines the learning of a diverse team of five professional developers as they led or supported a mathematics initiative. Although teachers are typically the focus of learning in professional development, we contend that the learning of professional developers is important and should not be overlooked. We examined our learning as a professional development team through first-person inquiry which drew on reflections, conversational accounts and other artefacts. These data sources were used to create a first-person narrative which was analysed for learning according to four domains of change in a model of teacher professional growth. Our findings revealed that this project was rich in opportunities for learning including: learning about mathematics pedagogy; learning about the potential for miscommunication of a message; learning about the challenges of teachers working across multiple agendas and systems trying to support these teachers; and learning about the advantages of team work. Many of these learnings were fortuitous rather than planned. Hence, we now appreciate the importance of being more conscious of the potential for learning in the conduct of professional development projects and to plan for this learning. The paper concludes with challenges for all who undertake or access professional development services in mathematics education. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.)

T1  - Mother/Non-Mother: ibuism as Subtext in the Literary Works of AYU Utami
AN  - 61700930; 200817764
AB  - Just months before Indonesian President Soeharto resigned in May 1998, maternal feminism emerged as a path for women to enter the political arena, & numerous women's organized appropriated the state-institutionalized concept of ibuism as a stage from which they could protest the injustices suffered under the regime. The concept of ibuism was originally coined in the 1960s to define the newly constructed role for women, evolving around motherhood, in the nationalist project. In 1998, however, the Suara Ibu Peduli (Voice of Concerned Mothers) included among its adherents non-mothers & women from every background & was the first women's organization ever to stage street demonstrations, which they did in Feb 1998. Many women still felt that a strong women's movement should be rooted in the common cause of maternalism, & debate ensued over which ideological paradigms were appropriate for women. This paper examines how this debate & the concept of ibuism appeared as sub-themes in the feminist novels of Ayu Utami, Saman (1998) & Larung (2001). References. S. Stanton

T1  - Idealising the Tomboy: Representations of the Ideal Teenage Girl in Indonesian 'Teenlit'
AN  - 61693834; 200817894
AB  - Some scholars of the post-Soeharto era have focused on the dilemmas faced by women & teenage girls in relation to their identity & moral behavior. The difficulty of these dilemmas is a legacy of Soeharto's double-standard New Order. The state ideology defined men & women in stereotypical, conservative roles, & women were to be submissive wives & good mothers. Nowhere was this gender ideology more apparent in the icon of the "model woman" promoted by the Dharma Wanita, the association of civil servants' wives. However, young, urban, middle-class women of the 1990s were exposed to a different ideal of femininity through the modern media, & after Soeharto's fall, the writers among them began to describe the new Indonesian woman in their narratives & poetry. A related category of writing emerged called "teenlit," narratives for teenagers about dating, sexuality, physical appearance, & marriage. But not all Indonesian teenage girls see that image in their mirrors. Those who reject it are called tomboys, a term deriving from American literature & real life. This paper discusses three books that focus on the life of a teenage female character whose lifestyle & identity are distinctive of the tomboy -- perhaps offering a new model for girls. References.

T1  - Ways of Belonging: Reconciliation and Adelaide's Public Space Indigenous Cultural Markers
AN  - 61689536; 200812254
AB  - As an arguably 'post colonial' society, Australia is evolving its particular identity and sense of self, but reconciliation with its Indigenous peoples remains a significant political and cultural issue. Social inclusion or marginalisation is reflected in the construct of the civic landscape and this paper traces and contextualises public space Indigenous representation or 'cultural markers', since the 1960s in Adelaide, South Australia, the Kaurna people's land. This paper identifies social phases and time periods in the evolution of the ways in which Indigenous people and their culture have been included in the city's public space. Inclusion of Indigenous peoples in civic landscapes contributes not only to their spiritual and cultural renewal and contemporary identity, but also to the whole community's sense of self and to the process of reconciliation. This has the potential to provide a gateway to a different way of understanding place which includes an Indigenous perspective and could, symbolically, contribute to the decolonisation of Indigenous people. An inter-related issue for the colonising culture is reconciliation with the Indigenous nature of the land, in the sense of an intimate sense of belonging and connectedness of spirit through an understanding of Indigenous cultural landscapes, an issue which this paper explores. The paper also sets out suggestions for the facilitation of further Indigenous inclusion and of re-imagining ways of representation. Adapted from the source document.

The author finds that surfing by Indonesian surfers is an indigenization of modern surfing & an expression of nationalism, as well as a way of reclaiming space & resisting western colonialism. Also considered is the role of the global surf industry and the influence of surf tourism. Local professional surfer Rizal Tanjung is quoted as well. References. C. Adcock

T1  - Beyond ecriture feminine: Desperately Seeking a New Literary Paradigm
AN  - 61676271; 200816328
AB  - The term sastrawangi ('perfumed literature') has been widely used in reference to the works of a new generation of young, savvy, urban Indonesian women writers, beginning with Ayu Utami, whose novel Saman has been a best seller for nine years, & including Dewi Lestari, Fira Basuki, Djenar Maesa Ayu, Dinar Rahayu, & Nova Riyanti Yusuf. The term has taken on a derogatory meaning of late, implying that these women's books are insubstantial pop culture. In a recent article in the journal Srinth!l, Ayu, along with Linda Christanty & Nukila Amal, protested such labeling. They wanted to be thought of as simply writers (penulis), not even women writers. In this light, this paper starts with a question addressed by a male Balinese writer to a panel of young women writers at the Ubud Readers & Writers Festival in Oct 2004 -- why they write only about sex, rather than politics & social issues. Utami suggested that if he read the books, he would find that these writers do address sociopolitical issues. This paper focuses on the reception & perception of the works of the new 'generation' of writers, with emphasis on three themes found in recent commentary: undifferentiated notions of 'sex' & 'pornography'; the quest for a 'female tradition' in modern Indonesian literature; & questions as to what constitutes 'good' literature.

T1  - A Dragon-Shaped Hummingboard: Nukila Amal's Writing from the Nation's Margin
AN  - 61672419; 200816334
AB  - After the resignation of President Soeharto, Indonesia enjoyed some relief from the oppression of the New Order, especially in a relaxation of constraints on public life & the media. Women were freed from the masculinist gender ideology, & a wave of creative & critical thinking was released in the literary works of young women writers, the first being Ayu Utami, but highly considered among them, Nukila Amal. Hellwig's study of these new writers' works takes feminist & postcolonial theories as a point of departure & examines how their novels represent identity, female subjectivity, & agency. She examines how these Indonesian women writers' narratives address relations of power with regard to intersecting issues of sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, class, & nation. What place do they occupy in this time of rapid political & social change? How does postmodernity affect their subject formation? These questions are addressed through an analytical reading of Nukila Amal's novel, Cala Ibi ([Hummingbird] 2003), looking most closely at how it represents female subjectivity in this postcolonial & postmodern time in the character of Maya Amanita.

The beauty contest was interesting in that it was an attempt to address problems of Malay nationalism & disenfranchisement in the region. By recounting the pageant, as well as the rationale behind people's decisions to enter it, the author is able to use the beauty contest as a microcosm for the problem of Malay integration in the Kepulauan Riau province. The author also analyzes the contest as a vehicle to promote tourism. References. C. Adcock

T1  - Tracing the White Ink: The Maternal Body in Indonesian Women's Writing
AN  - 61659058; 200817780
AB  - Women's writing in post-Soeharto Indonesia has celebrated female sexuality, often with vivid descriptions of sexual acts. Such writing was repressed by the strict censorship of Soeharto's New Order, & it is still criticized by many today. The women writers, however, see the body as a site for women's voices &, in bringing the body back in their writing, create an alignment between text & sex. They seek to regain the woman's body from the patriarchal culture that considers it taboo & even disgusting. The focus on the erotic woman has left little room for acknowledgement of the portrayal of the maternal woman, as she appears in Helene Cixous's The Laugh of the Medusa. Cixous (2000) wrote that a woman "is never far from 'mother'," & "there is always within her at least a little of that good mother's milk." This paper examines how the maternal body is explored by prominent Indonesian women writers such as Cixous, Ayu Utami, & Djenar Maesa Ayu. References. S. Stanton

T1  - Wage War against Beatle Music! Censorship and Music in Soekarno's Indonesia
AN  - 61649921; 200816314
AB  - In the mid-1960s, the Beatles were becoming an international musical phenomenon, but in Indonesia, President Soekarno declared that "Beatleism [was a] form of mental disease" (Larson, 1970) & urged his countrymen to "wage war against Beatle music" (Kompas, 25 Aug 1965). Soekarno had a model for his efforts to control the music his people listened to in the restrictions on music imposed by the Dutch & Japanese colonial governments, primarily to stifle nationalist ambitions. Though Soekarno firmly believed in using music to bolster national pride, he felt Western music would have a corrupting influence. Despite his harsh criticism, however, there were bands in Indonesia with names like Blue Moon Music Band & Teenagers Music Band that played "crazy" music -- ngak ngik ngok. His own son Guntur was a drummer in such a band. A few musicians tried to satisfy Soekarno's demand for a "national music" with "pop Indonesia," though this music differed only in the language of the lyrics. He tried harsher measures & even arrested musicians, such as Koes Bersaudara, to no avail. Soekarno was supplanted by Soeharto & his New Order without ever having stopped pop music. Figures. S.

T1  - Introduction
AN  - 61649859; 200817809
AB  - This introduction to a special journal section, "Post-Soeharto Women's Writing and Cultural Production" outlines the days of protest & violence that preceded Soeharto's resignation after 35 years as president of Indonesia on 21 May 1998. The economic crisis of late 1997 brought dissatisfaction & frustration among the Indonesian population, which led to demonstrations & riots. After four students from Trisakti U were shot "without any provocation" (Suryakusuma, 2004), the violence increased, finally forcing Soeharto to step down. He was succeeded for a short time by B.J. Habibie (May 1998-Oct 1999). The country entered a period of reform during which more democratic institutions & freedom of speech were ushered in. In Apr 1998, a young, unknown woman writer, Ayu Utami, had published her first novel, Saman, a socio-political critique of the oppressive, violent Soeharto regime. Saman won first prize in the Jakarta Arts Council Literary Contest & it & Utami were the focus of major debate during those heated times. But Saman had another theme as well; four female characters emerge as empowering images of autonomous women. Utami paved the way for other women writers to take their place in Indonesian culture. They & their works are the subject of the seven contributions that follow. References. S. Stanton

T1  - Knowledge in Four Deformation Dimensions
AN  - 61648314; 200716419
AB  - This paper sketches a complexity conceptualization of knowledge. Building from evolutionary theories, it defines knowledge as rules that reduce environmental uncertainty through connections between ideas and facts. Knowledge is conceived as a structure validated through action, a process contextualized in individual experience and a system embedded in social and cultural experience. It exhibits four characteristics of a complex system: it is sensitive to initial conditions, exhibits multiple feedback loops, is non-linear and is recursively symmetrical. Knowledge's four interdependent deformation dimensions are identified (personal, common, tacit and explicit) and their interactions are discussed. This conceptualization of knowledge as a complex system contributes to the knowledge-based theory of the firm by providing some micro-foundations to organizational knowledge, and it opens the opportunity to re-think theories of communities of practice, entrepreneurship and firm creation, the role of managers, and knowledge management.

T1  - Always an outlaw: Daughters-in-law on Australian family farms
AN  - 61618136; 200721039
AB  - This article explores the position of women as daughters-in-law on family farms in Australia. The significance of this focus relates to the fact that family farming continues to be the main form of agricultural operation in most western countries. Women typically come to farming through marriage, meaning that most experience being a 'daughter-in-law' on a family farm. Drawing on notions of subjectivity, discourse and agency, the article explores the meanings and experiences connected with the identity of 'daughter-in-law' on family farms. The article concludes by speculating on how shifts in gender and agricultural discourses may destabilize the traditional identity of 'daughter-in-law' within family farming as well as by considering the implications of such a destabilization.

T1  - Who Makes it Easy? Courting Journalists through Congressional Web Sites
AN  - 60027726; 200932567
AB  - Scholars are just beginning to understand how members of Congress use the Internet to meet their legislative and electoral goals. We performed a content analysis of all the official web sites maintained by members of Congress in the fall of 2002 to determine whether and how members used their sites to court the traditional mass media. Our analysis revealed that the likelihood of a member using his or her web site to solicit media coverage depends upon numerous variables, including chamber, geographic region, age, gender and race. Interestingly, ideology and electoral margin were largely irrelevant. We discuss these results in terms of members' electoral goals, policy objectives, and desire for institutional advancement.

T1  - Nike Ardilla; Instant Pop Saint
AN  - 59804658; 200815176
AB  - This & the following two papers continue a special journal section, "Subjectivity and Belonging in Popular Culture," from the previous issue. This contribution is about Nike Ardilla, a dominant figure in Indonesia's early-1990s pop music scene. Ardilla did not write her own songs, but she transformed the potential of songwriters Deddy Dores & Youngky RM. Unlike pop singers in Western countries, her songs were very conservative, giving sentimental expression to the angst of youth but never mentioning sex, drug, crime, or politics -- topics that were banned by the Soeharto regime. Examples of her lyrics illustrate the state ideology of "familyism." Ardilla's life is described from childhood (b. 1975) to the height of her career, which ended with her death on 19 Mar 1995 in an automobile accident. Her memory & her music, however, did not die; she remains one of Indonesia's strongest-selling recording artists & pop heroines. Figures, References. S. Stanton

T1  - Social Movement Unions and Political Parties (in South Africa and the Philippines): A Win-Win Situation?
AN  - 59803460; 200823168
AB  - Social movement unionism is increasingly being seen as the strategy that US unions should adopt. However, what is often forgotten is that social movement unionism originated in the Third World. As part of the strategy it is argued that unions should form alliances with political parties. However, by analyzing the alliances between the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the African National Congress (ANC), and the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) and the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) I argue that union alliances with political parties have badly damaged social movement unions.

T1  - 'Shattered Families': 'Transgression', Cosmopolitanism and Experimental Form in the Fiction of Djenar Maesa Ayu
AN  - 59803280; 200815097
AB  - Djenar Maesa Ayu has rapidly become one of the sastrawangi (perfumed literature) women writers in Indonesia. Since the 2002 publication of her collection of short stories, Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! (They Say I'm a Monkey!), in which she treats such sensational topics as marital infidelity, middle-class hypocrisy, high class prostitution, & abused teenage girls, she has published two more works. While she has won over the majority of the Indonesian reading public, she has also attracted the condemnations of socially conservative commentators. Ayu contends that if her works are about taboo & sexual themes, it is because these issues are close to her in life. She & the other new women writers focus on cosmopolitan society & explode the image of the harmonious family. This paper seeks to understand the polarized reactions to Ayu's work by examining it through the lens of Peter Stallybrass & Allon White's theorization of transgression in The Politics and Poetics of Transgression (1986). Stallybrass & White argue that bourgeois society defines its ideals of society by demarcating the division between human & non-human based on the logic of excluding "filth.". References. S. Stanton

T1  - Punk, Pop and Protest: The Birth and Decline of Political Punk in Bandung
AN  - 59802849; 200815174
AB  - Indonesia's underground music scene was born of the cross-cultural fertilization arising from globalization. The punk culture spread through the new information technologies & the growth of multinational corporations. This adoption of Western popular cultures has been labeled cultural homogenization. This paper, however, challenges that image by showing how punk in Indonesia has been used by youth to respond to the pressures of their own cultural & political environment. The author adds to the study of music as a social force by examining the activist punk culture in Bandung during the early years of the post-Soeharto Reform era, 1998-2001. The resignation of President Soeharto in 1998 brought a renaissance in political & social thinking & the emergence of social movements for change. By May 1999, the punk culture had shifted toward punk activism with the establishment of the Anti-Fascist Front, described as "a revolutionary punk organization that mixed anarchist & socialist ideas" (A-Infos, 13 May 1999), which rapidly became very active. Before too long, however, punk activism in Bandung began a gradual decline to its current state of low-level simmering. References. S. Stanton

T1  - Subverting the Stereotypes: Women Performers Contest Gender Images, Old and New
AN  - 59797392; 200816001
AB  - The new wave of women's writing in Indonesia that followed the resignation of President Soeharto in 1998 is part of a larger movement in Indonesian cultural expression of gender & sexuality. This era has created opportunities for women's social & political participation. Women's issues such as domestic violence are openly discussed, & political parties seek candidates to fill quotas of female representation. Yet these new practices have prompted critical responses similar to those aimed at the new feminist writing. Not all the Indonesian population desires sexual equality & discussion of female sexuality, especially members of conservative Islamic groups. In some Islamic areas of Indonesia, regional autonomy legislation mandates headcoverings for women & girls. This paper considers the case of a singer, Inul, who was castigated by Muslim leaders for her provocative dance style. Inul embodied several key contemporary issues in Indonesia, among them, individual freedom vs authoritarian control, women's rights to self-expression, & resistance to religious dogmatism. The author also examines several local theater groups whose plays explicitly subvert familiar gender stereotypes & myths of female identity, & describes their portrayals of women as strong in mind & body.

T1  - 'There is No Work in My Village'
AN  - 59796786; 200807221
AB  - This study uses a sample survey methodology to investigate the factors underlying the employment decisions of female garment workers in Sri Lanka's Export Processing Zones (EPZs). It finds that most are pushed rather than pulled into EPZ employment by poverty and a weak labour market. Workers come from poorer than average households. Their remittances make a vital contribution to family welfare, and are often the sole source of regular household income. Generally low levels of job satisfaction and workers' employment preferences indicate that most would prefer to be elsewhere, but their employment choices are constrained by a limited and unattractive range of alternative livelihoods. The impact of the changing global competitive environment on job quantity and quality in the EPZs is briefly discussed. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications, Ltd., copyright 2007.]

AB  - This is an article about the popular culture of Timor Leste's Geracao Foun, or "young generation." The author contends that the Geracao Foun had a culture of resistance in the wake of Timor Leste's independence. This culture of resistance is best articulated through the literary magazine Talitakum , which served two purposes; the first one being to create a sense of nostalgia for Timor Leste's revolutionary history, & the second being to ease the tensions created by independence & help establish a national identity for Timorese who were educated in Indonesia.

T1  - Local Elite Reconfiguration in Post-New Order Indonesia: The 2005 Election of District Government Heads in South Sulawesi
AN  - 59780982; 200803357
AB  - This article is a critical look at the recent democratizing trends that have taken place in Indonesia since 1998. The main components of Indonesia's democratization process have been recurring free & fair elections, as well as a decentralization of political authority. What the author finds, however, is that despite these institutional & procedural changes many of the autocratic features of the old Suharto regime remain. This is due to the fact that despite political reforms, many elites from the Suharto era still maintain positions of authority at the national, state, and local levels. The author concludes with an argument for a more "pluralist" model of Indonesian democracy. Tables, Figures, References. C. Adcock

T1  - Valuing preservation.
AN  - 57699130; 00505637
AB  - Preservation has value to society over and above the value of the content that is preserved. It is important to articulate this value in order to argue compellingly for the creation of public policies and economic models that adequately support preservation of culturally significant content. This article explores the societal value of preservation, discussing why questions about societal value arise in the context of the explosive growth of digital information and why they are qualitatively different questions from the ones that arose when the world knew only analog communication technologies. It assesses various ways to think about the value that inheres in content, particularly the distinctive attributes of cultural content that have societal value. It identifies benefits that preservation as such brings to society, over and above the sum of the value of the content preserved. It also examines the range of public policy issues that arise in light of the social values identified, virtually none of which are currently protected by law or regulation. In light of these societal values, it argues that the preservation community needs to collaborate with other sectors crucially dependent on long-term access to significant content to develop strategies that: make it easier and cheaper to preserve content; provide incentives and rewards for individuals and organizations to preserve; and protect the public interest in privately held content.

T1  - Multitasking information behaviour in public libraries: a survey study.
AN  - 57657255; 200802155
AB  - Multitasking information behaviour is the human ability to handle the demands of multiple information tasks concurrently. When we multitask, we work on two or more tasks and switch between those tasks. Multitasking is the way most of us deal with the complex environment we all live in, and recent studies show that people often engage in multitasking information behaviours. Multitasking information behaviours are little understood, however, and an important area of research for information behaviour research. Our study investigated the multitasking information behaviours of public library users at the Brentwood and Wilkinsburg Public Libraries in Pittsburgh through diary questionnaires. Findings include that some 63.5 percent of library users engaged in multitasking information behaviours, with a mean of 2.5 topic changes and 2.8 topics per library visit. A major finding of our study is that many people in libraries are seeking information on multiple topics and are engaged in multitasking behaviours. The implications of our findings and further research are also discussed. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications, Ltd., copyright 2007]

AB  - This paper examines the trends affecting reference services in court and government law libraries, such as globalization, shrinking budgets, the increasing availability of information, declining in-person patron visits, increasing numbers of pro se patrons, and the emergence of new technologies and the millennial generation. The paper then considers innovations arising in response to these trends. (Copies of this article are available for a fee from the Haworth Document Delivery Service, Haworth Press, Inc.

T1  - Evaluation Instrument for e-Government Websites
AN  - 57548238; 200809486
AB  - An instrument for evaluating the quality of government websites is described. It takes the form of a questionnaire resident within spreadsheet or database software so that an automatically determined evaluation may be indicated following input of data. The 106 questions included are derived from previous research regarding significant components of successful websites, along with interviews with developers of portals at different levels of Australian government. The instrument may be easily tailored to accommodate varying requirements at different levels of government, and used as a basis for extended internal evaluation of their own websites by agencies. The instrument also embodies explanations of the survey questions that are asked, along with advice on how to determine sought-after information from sites. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Measuring Up in the Bedroom: Muscle, Thinness, and Men's Sex Lives
AN  - 57247346; 200823466
AB  - Research has shown men often desire additional muscle mass, a trait related to masculine personality characteristics. While some research has suggested men lacking in muscle may believe themselves to be sexually undesirable to women, little research has been done in this area, especially when compared to the strong literature connecting women's drive for thinness to female sexual behavior. The present study sought to determine the connection between men's body image and men's perceived sexual efficacy and attractiveness. Male undergraduates (N = 105) completed a novel scale of sexual efficacy and attractiveness, in addition to questions relating to self-esteem, sexual behaviors and milestones, desire for muscle, and desire for thinness. Sexual efficacy and attractiveness was positively related to self-esteem, and mediated drive for muscle's negative relationship to self-esteem. Drive for thinness was negatively related to self-esteem, but unrelated to any sexual indices. Results suggest the presence of two types of body image dissatisfaction in men-thinness and muscle-but only the culturally demanded body dimension impacts sexual variables. Implications for future research are discussed. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Is Australia's National Medicines Policy Failing? The Case Of Cox-2 Inhibitors
AN  - 57242993; 200808701
AB  - Australia has a National Medicines Policy with aims that include quality use of medicines, but policy stakeholders failed to protect Australia from the COX-2 (cyclo-oxygenase-2) inhibitor disaster. Drug regulators did not warn prescribers appropriately about potential cardiovascular risks. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme did not limit unjustified drug expenditures on COX-2 inhibitors. Drug companies ran intense and misleading promotional campaigns on COX-2 inhibitors without adequate controls. Independent drug information was insufficient to counter the effects of the millions of dollars spent on advertising. Core elements of the National Medicines Policy-in particular the drug approval process, the post-marketing surveillance system, the control of drug promotion, and the quality of independent drug information-require major reappraisal if we want to avoid similar disasters in the future.

T1  - Exploring the Complex and Dynamic Nature of Sustained Motivation
AN  - 57242797; 200815797
AB  - This paper addresses the issue of sustained motivation over time, in relation to real-life activities requiring complex skills in multiple contexts of participation. It reports an empirical study that explores how high achieving athletes and musicians appraise salient aspects of person and context as affordances and constraints, and how these appraisals shape motivation over time. Longitudinal and retrospective qualitative data were gathered about the life trajectories of 30 adolescent and adult participants, including details of their development in sport and music, people who had influenced them, their beliefs and hopes, difficulties and life events encountered and how these had been dealt with. Three major findings emerged. First, sustained motivation is inextricably linked to both person and context. Second, it is mediated by individuals' ongoing appraisal process of personal and contextual aspects of their current situation, which are interpreted as affordances or constraints. Third, the nature and extent of participation is constantly revised as a result of ongoing changes in personal and contextual circumstances over time. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - "They do it just to show off". Year 9 girls,' boys' and their teachers' explanations for boys' aggression to girls
AN  - 57242639; 200812403
AB  - Because children and young teenagers usually associate in same-sex groups, study of aggression in schools has often focused on within-sex interactions. However, during adolescence, boys and girls increasingly interact with each other which provides the opportunity for constructive pro-social relationships well as for damaging conflict and aggression. This paper examines the explanations of boys' aggression to girls provided in focus group discussions and individual interviews at four middle class Adelaide metropolitan schools by Grade 9 boys, girls and their teachers. Thematic analyses revealed some common and some differing explanations across boys, girls and teachers. All greed that boys were verbally aggressive to girls in order to impress other boys and for their own entertainment or fun (i.e., to get a laugh). Boys and teachers reported that boys' offensive behaviour to girls was sometimes an attempt to impress girls. For some boys, the motive for hurting girls was revenge. Some teachers suggested that boys' hurtful behaviour may be explained by sexist attitudes learned at home. This study highlights the vital role of the peer group in motivating boys' aggressive behaviour toward girls. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding behaviour from the different perspectives of boys, girls and teachers. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Shooting The Messenger: The Vilification of Irving J. Selikoff
AN  - 57226166; 200807545
AB  - Dr. Irving J. Selikoff (1915-1992), a New York physician based at Mount Sinai Hospital, was the leading American medical expert on asbestos-related diseases between the 1960s and early 1990s. In a country that had been the world's greatest consumer of asbestos, he was also at the center of the key controversies connected with the mineral. In these controversies, Selikoff was consistently demonized as a media zealot who exaggerated the risks of asbestos on the back of bogus medical qualifications and flawed science. Since his death, the criticism has become even more vituperative and claims have persisted that he was malicious or a medical fraud. However, most of the attacks on Selikoff were inspired by the asbestos industry or its sympathizers, and for much of his career he was the victim of a sustained and orchestrated campaign to discredit him. The most serious criticisms usually more accurately describe his detractors than Selikoff himself. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - SA HealthPlus: A Controlled Trial of a Statewide Application of a Generic Model of Chronic Illness Care
AN  - 57187464; 200712377
AB  - SA HealthPlus, one of nine national Australian coordinated care trials, addressed chronic illness care by testing whether coordinated care would improve health outcomes at the cost of usual care. SA HealthPlus compared a generic model of coordinated care for 3,115 intervention patients with the usual care for 1,488 controls. Service coordinators and the behavioral and care-planning approach were new. The health status (SF-36) in six of eight projects improved, and those patients who had been hospitalized in the year immediately preceding the trial were the most likely to save on costs. A mid-trial review found that health benefits from coordinated care depended more on patients' self-management than the severity of their illness, a factor leading to the Flinders Model of Self-Management Support.

T1  - A Stock-Take Of Green National Accounting Initiatives
AN  - 57176375; 200711499
AB  - Green national accounting has existed in a variety of forms for just over thirty years. Having essentially begun as environmental cost adjustments to Gross Domestic Product, green national accounting now includes such indicators as the Genuine Progress Indicator, Genuine Savings, and the Ecological Footprint. This paper serves as an overview or stock-take of green national accounting initiatives and as a means of assessing the major developments since the early 1970s. It is concluded that a suite of indicators is required to convey a complete picture of a nation's sustainable development performance. In addition, economic indicators need to be supplemented by biophysical indicators, although the latter should never be incorporated directly into national income accounts since they serve as indicators of ecological sustainability, not of economic performance. Finally, the fact that a number of recently established indicators are still in the embryonic stage of development means that considerable refinement is necessary before they are likely to be broadly accepted by the policy-making community.

T1  - Pilot Study of Urinary Biomarkers of Phytoestrogens, Phthalates, and Phenols in Girls
AN  - 21202869; 11567533
AB  - BACKGROUND: Hormonally active environmental agents have been measured among U.S. children using exposure biomarkers in urine. However, little is known about their variation by race, age, sex, and geography, and no data exist for newly developed biomarkers. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to characterize relevant, prevalent exposures for a study of female pubertal development. METHODS: In a pilot study among 90 girls from New York City, New York, Cincinnati, Ohio, and northern California, we measured 25 urinary analytes representing 22 separate agents from three chemical families: phytoestrogens, phthalates, and phenols. Exposures occur chiefly from the diet and from household or personal care products. RESULTS: Participants represented four racial/ethnic groups (Asian, black, Hispanic, white), with mean age of 7.77 years. Most analytes were detectable in 94% of samples. The highest median concentrations for individual analytes in each family were for enterolactone (298 microg/L), monoethylphthalate (MEP; 83.2 microg/L), and benzophenone-3 (BP3; 14.7 microg/L). Few or no data have been reported previously for four metabolites: mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate, tridosan, bisphenol A (BPA), and BP3; these were detected in 67-100% of samples with medians of 1.8-53.2 microg/L. After multivariate adjustment, two analytes, enterolactone and BPA, were higher among girls with body mass index 85th reference percentile than those at or above the 85th percentile. Three phthalate metabolites differed by race/ethnicity [MEP, mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and mono-3-carboxypropylphthalate]. CONCLUSIONS: A wide spectrum of hormonally active exposure biomarkers were detectable and variable among young girls, with high maximal concentrations ( 1,000 microg/L) found for several analytes. They varied by characteristics that may be relevant to development.

T1  - An Update on Cancer Cluster Activities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
AN  - 21198170; 11567525
AB  - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to be aware of the need for response to public concern as well as to state and local agency concern about cancer clusters. In 1990 the CDC published the "Guidelines for Investigating Clusters of Health Events," in which a four-stage process was presented. This document has provided a framework that most state health departments have adopted, with modifications pertaining to their specific situations, available resources, and philosophy concerning disease clusters. The purpose of this present article is not to revise the CDC guidelines; they retain their original usefulness and validity. However, in the past 15 years, multiple cluster studies as well as scientific and technologic developments have affected duster science and response (improvements in cancer registries, a federal initiative in environmental public health tracking, refinement of biomarker technology, cluster identification using geographic information systems software, and the emergence of the Internet). Thus, we offer an addendum for use with the original document. Currently, to address both the needs of state health departments as well as public concern, the CDC now a) provides a centralized, coordinated response system for cancer cluster inquiries, b) supports an electronic cancer cluster listserver, c) maintains an informative web page, and d) provides support to states, ranging from laboratory analysis to epidemiologic assistance and expertise. Response to cancer clusters is appropriate public health action, and the CDC will continue to provide assistance, facilitate communication among states, and foster the development of new approaches in duster science.

T1  - A Case-Control Analysis of Exposure to Traffic and Acute Myocardial Infarction
AN  - 21197013; 11567544
AB  - BACKGROUND: Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with an increased risk of dying from cardiopulmonary and ischemic heart disease, yet few studies have evaluated cardiovascular end points other than mortality. We investigated the relationship between long-term exposure to traffic and occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a case-control study. METHODS: A total of 5,049 confirmed cases of AMI were identified between 1995 and 2003 as part of the Worcester Heart Attack Study, a community-wide study examining changes over time in the incidence of AMI among greater Worcester, Massachusetts, residents. Population controls were selected from Massachusetts resident lists. We used cumulative traffic within 100 m of subjects' residence and distance from major roadway as proxies for exposure to traffic-related air pollution. We estimated the relationship between exposure to traffic and occurrence of AMI using logistic regression, and we adjusted for the following potential confounders: age, sex, section of the study area, point sources emissions of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 2.5 microm, area socioeconomic characteristics, and percentage of open space. RESULTS: An increase in cumulative traffic near the home was associated with a 4% increase in the odds of AMI per interquartile range [95% confidence interval (CI), 2-7%], whereas living near a major roadway was associated with a 5% increase in the odds of AMI per kilometer (95% CI, 3-6%). CONCLUSIONS: These results provide support for an association between long-term exposure to traffic and the risk of AMI.

T1  - Lead and [delta]-Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase Polymorphism: Where Does It Lead? A Meta-Analysis
AN  - 21196973; 11567510
AB  - BACKGROUND: Lead poisoning affects many organs in the body. Lead inhibits delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), an enzyme with two co-dominantly expressed alleles, ALAD1 and ALAD2. OBJECTIVE: Our meta-analysis studied the effects of the ALAD polymorphism on a) blood and bone lead levels and b) indicators of target organ toxicity. DATA SOURCE: We included studies reporting one or more of the following by individuals with genotypes ALAD1-1 and ALAD1-2/2-2: blood lead level (BLL), tibia or trabecular lead level, zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP), hemoglobin, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), dimercaptosuccinic acid-chelatable lead, or blood pressure. DATA EXTRACTION: Sample sizes, means, and standard deviations were extracted for the genotype groups. DATA SYNTHESIS: There was a statistically significant association between ALAD2 carriers and higher BLL in lead-exposed workers (weighted mean differences of 1.93 microg/dL). There was no association with ALAD carrier status among environmentally exposed adults with BLLs 10 microg/dL. ALAD2 carriers were potentially protected against adverse hemapoietic effects (ZPP and hemoglobin levels), perhaps because of decreased lead bioavailability to heme pathway enzymes. CONCLUSION: Carriers of the ALAD2 allele had higher BLLs than those who were ALAD1 homozygous and higher hemoglobin and lower ZPP, and the latter seems to be inversely related to BLL. Effects on other organs were not well delineated, partly because of the small number of subjects studied and potential modifications caused by other proteins in target tissues or by other polymorphic genes.

T1  - Investigating Childhood Leukemia in Churchill County, Nevada
AN  - 21196339; 11567527
AB  - BACKGROUND. Sixteen children diagnosed with acute leukemia between 1997 and 2002 lived in Churchill County, Nevada, at the time of or before their illness. Considering the county population and statewide cancer rate, fewer than two cases would be expected. OBJECTIVES. In March 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention led federal, state, and local agencies in a cross-sectional, case-comparison study to determine if ongoing environmental exposures posed a health risk to residents and to compare levels of contaminants in environmental and biologic samples collected from participating families. METHODS. Surveys with more than 500 variables were administered to 205 people in 69 families. Blood, urine, and cheek cell samples were collected and analyzed for 139 chemicals, eight viral markers, and several genetic polymorphisms. Air, water, soil, and dust samples were collected from almost 80 homes to measure more than 200 chemicals. RESULTS. The scope of this cancer cluster investigation exceeded any previous study of pediatric leukemia. Nonetheless, no exposure consistent with leukemia risk was identified. Overall, tungsten and arsenic levels in urine and water samples were significantly higher than national comparison values; however, levels were similar among case and comparison groups. CONCLUSIONS. Although the cases in this cancer cluster may in fact have a common etiology, their small number and the length of time between diagnosis and our exposure assessment lessen the ability to find an association between leukemia and environmental exposures. Given the limitations of individual cancer cluster investigations, it may prove more efficient to pool laboratory and questionnaire data from similar leukemia clusters.

T1  - Household Pesticides and the Risk of Wilms Tumor
AN  - 21195038; 11567530
AB  - BACKGROUND: Previous epidemiologic studies have suggested that exposure to pesticides in utero and during early childhood may increase the risk for development of childhood cancer, including Wilms tumor, a childhood kidney tumor. OBJECTIVES: In this analysis we evaluated the role of residential pesticide exposure in relation to the risk of Wilms tumor in children using data from a North American case-control study. METHODS: The National Wilms Tumor Study Group (NWTSG) collected information on exposure to residential pesticides from the month before pregnancy through the diagnosis reference date using detailed phone interviews from 523 case mothers and 517 controls frequency matched on child's age and geographic region and identified by list-assisted random digit dialing. Pesticides were grouped according to type of pesticide and where they were used. RESULTS: A slightly increased risk of Wilms tumor was found among children of mothers who reported insecticide use [odds ratio (OR) = 1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0-1.8; adjusted for education, income, and the matching variables]. Results from all other categories of pesticides were generally close to the null. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the largest case-control study of Wilms tumor to date. We were unable to confirm earlier reports of an increased risk for Wilms tumor among those exposed to residential pesticides during pregnancy through early childhood.

T1  - Maternal Fish Consumption, Mercury Levels, and Risk of Preterm Delivery
AN  - 21192584; 11567546
AB  - BACKGROUND: Pregnant women receive mixed messages about fish consumption in pregnancy because unsaturated fatty acids and protein in fish are thought to be beneficial, but contaminants such as methylmercury may pose a hazard. METHODS: In the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health (POUCH) study, women were enrolled in the 15th to 27th week of pregnancy from 52 prenatal clinics in five Michigan communities. At enrollment, information was gathered on amount and category of fish consumed during the current pregnancy, and a hair sample was obtained. A segment of hair closest to the scalp, approximating exposure during pregnancy, was assessed for total mercury levels (70-90% methylmercury) in 1,024 POUCH cohort women. RESULTS: Mercury levels ranged from 0.01 to 2.50 pg/g (mean = 0.29 microg/g; median = 0.23 microg/g). Total fish consumption and consumption of canned fish, bought fish, and sport-caught fish were positively associated with mercury levels in hair. The greatest fish source for mercury exposure appeared to be canned fish. Compared with women delivering at term, women who delivered before 35 weeks' gestation were more likely to have hair mercury levels at or above the 90th percentile ( or = 0.55 microg/g), even after adjusting for maternal characteristics and fish consumption (adjusted odds ratio = 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-6.7). CONCLUSION: This is the first large, community-based study to examine risk of very preterm birth in relation to mercury levels among women with low to moderate exposure. Additional studies are needed to see whether these findings will be replicated in other settings.

T1  - Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Their Hydroxylated Metabolites (OH-PCBs) in Pregnant Women from Eastern Slovakia
AN  - 21189539; 11567548
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Our aim in the present study was to characterize and quantify the levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and specific polychlorobiphenylol (OH-PCB) metabolites in maternal sera from women delivering in eastern Slovakia. DESIGN: During 2002-2004, blood samples were collected from women delivering in two Slovak locations: Michalovce district, where PCBs were formerly manufactured, and Svidnik and Stropkov districts, about 70 km north. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 762 and 341 pregnant women were sampled from Michalovce and Svidnik/Stropkov, respectively, and OH-PCBs were measured in 131 and 31. EVALUATION/MEASUREMENTS: We analyzed PCBs using gas chromatography (GC)/electron capture detection. OH-PCBs and pentachlorophenol (PCP) were determined as methyl derivatives using GC-electron capture negative ionization/mass spectrometry. We characterized distributions in the full cohort using inverse sampling weights. RESULTS: The concentrations of both PCBs and OH-PCB metabolites of Michalovce mothers were about two times higher than those of the Svidnik/Stropkov mothers (p 0.001). The median weighted maternal serum levels of the sum of PCBs (sigmaPCBs) were 5.73 ng/g wet weight (Michalovce) and 2.82 ng/g wet weight (Svidnik/Stropkov). The median sum of OH-PCBs (ZOH-PCBs) was 0.55 ng/g wet weight in Michalovce mothers and 0.32 ng/g wet weight in Svidnik/Stropkov mothers. 4-OH-2,2',3,4',5,5',6-Heptachlorobiphenyl (4-OH-CB187) was a primary metabolite, followed by 4-OH-2,2',3,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (4-OH-CB146). Only four PCB congeners-CBs 153, 138, 180, and 170--had higher concentrations than 4-OH-CB187 and 4-OH-CB146 (p 0.001). The median ratio of the sigmaOH-PCBs to the sigmaPCBs was 0.10. CONCLUSIONS: Mothers residing in eastern Slovakia are still highly exposed to PCBs, and their body burdens of these pollutants and OH-PCB metabolites may pose a risk for adverse effects on health for themselves and their children.

T1  - Potential Risks Associated with the Proposed Widespread Use of Tamiflu
AN  - 21174726; 11567536
AB  - BACKGROUND: The threat of pandemic influenza has focused attention and resources on virus surveillance, prevention, and containment. The World Health Organization has strongly recommended the use of the antiviral drug Tamiflu both to treat and prevent pandemic influenza infection. A major concern for the long-term efficacy of this strategy is to limit the development of Tamiflu-resistant influenza strains. However, in the event of a pandemic, hundreds of millions of courses of Tamiflu, stockpiled globally, will be rapidly deployed. Given its apparent resistance to biodegradation and hydrophilicity, oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), the active antiviral and metabolite of Tamiflu, is predicted to enter receiving riverwater from sewage treatment works in its active form. OBJECTIVE: Our objective in this study was to determine the likely concentrations of OC released into U.S. and U.K. river catchments using hydrologic modeling and current assumptions about the course and management of an influenza pandemic. DISCUSSION: We predict that high concentrations of OC (micrograms per liter) capable of inhibiting influenza virus replication would be sustained for periods of several weeks, presenting an increased risk for the generation of antiviral resistance and genetic exchange between influenza viruses in wildfowl. Owing to the apparent recalcitrance of OC in sewage treatment works, widespread use of Tamiflu during an influenza pandemic also poses a potentially significant, uncharacterized, ecotoxicologic risk in each affected nation's waterways. CONCLUSION: To gauge the hazard presented by Tamiflu use during a pandemic, we recommend a) direct measurement of Tamiflu persistence, biodegradation, and transformation in the environment; b) further modeling of likely drug concentrations in the catchments of countries where humans and waterfowl come into frequent dose contact, and where significant Tamiflu deployment is envisaged; and c) further characterization of the risks of generating Tamiflu-resistant viruses in OC-exposed wildfowl.

T1  - Hair Manganese and Hyperactive Behaviors: Pilot Study of School-Age Children Exposed through Tap Water
AN  - 21174691; 11567532
AB  - BACKGROUND: Neurotoxic effects are known to occur with inhalation of manganese particulates, but very few data are available on exposure to Mn in water. We undertook a pilot study in a community in Quebec (Canada) where naturally occurring high Mn levels were present in the public water system. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that greater exposure to Mn via drinking water would be reflected in higher Mn content in hair which, in turn, would be associated with increased level of hyperactive behaviors. METHODS: Forty-six children participated in the study, 24 boys and 22 girls, 6-15 years of age (median, 11 years). Their homes received water from one of two wells (W) with different Mn concentrations: WI: mean 610 microg/L; W2: mean 160 pg/L. The Revised Conners' Rating Scale for parents (CPRS-R) and for teachers (CTRS-R) were administered, providing T-scores on the following subscales: Oppositional, Hyperactivity, Cognitive Problems/Inattention, and ADHD Index. RESULTS: Children whose houses were supplied by WI had higher hair Mn (MnH) than those supplied by W2 (mean 6.2+/-4.7 microg/g vs. 3.3+/-3.0 microg/g, p = 0.025). MnH was significantly associated with T-scores on the CTRS-R Oppositional (p = 0.020) and Hyperactivity (p = 0.002) subscales, after adjustment for age, sex, and income. All children with Oppositional and Hyperactivity T-scores 65 had MnH 3.0 microg/g. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this pilot study are sufficiently compelling to warrant more extensive investigations into the risks of Mn exposure in drinking water.

T1  - New Insight into Intrachromosomal Deletions Induced by Chrysotile in the gpt delta Transgenic Mutation Assay
AN  - 21169999; 11567538
AB  - BACKGROUND: Genotoxicity is often a prerequisite to the development of malignancy. Considerable evidence has shown that exposure to asbestos fibers results in the generation of chromosomal aberrations and multilocus mutations using various in vitro approaches. However, there is less evidence to demonstrate the contribution of deletions to the mutagenicity of asbestos fibers in vivo. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we investigated the mutant fractions and the patterns induced by chrysotile fibers in gpt delta transgenic mouse primary embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and compared the results obtained with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in an attempt to illustrate the role of oxyradicals in fiber mutagenesis. RESULTS: Chrysotile fibers induced a dose-dependent increase in mutation yield at the redBA/gam loci in transgenic MEF cells. The number of lambda mutants losing both redBA and gam loci induced by chrysotiles at a dose of 1 microg/cm(2) increased by 5-fold relative to nontreated controls (p 0.005). Mutation spectra analyses showed that the ratio of lambda mutants losing the redBA/gam region induced by chrysotiles was similar to those induced by equitoxic doses of H2O2. Moreover, treatment with catalase abrogated the accumulation of y-H2AX, a biomarker of DNA double-strand breaks, induced by chrysotile fibers. CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide novel information on the frequencies and types of mutations induced by asbestos fibers in the gpt delta transgenic mouse mutagenic assay, which shows great promise for evaluating fiber/particle mutagenicity in vivo.

T1  - Source of Funding and Results of Studies of Health Effects of Mobile Phone Use: Systematic Review of Experimental Studies
AN  - 21166268; 11567551
AB  - OBJECTIVES: There is concern regarding the possible health effects of cellular telephone use. We examined whether the source of funding of studies of the effects of low-level radiofrequency radiation is associated with the results of studies. We conducted a systematic review of studies of controlled exposure to radiofrequency radiation with health-related outcomes (electroencephalogram, cognitive or cardiovascular function, hormone levels, symptoms, and subjective well-being). DATA SOURCES: We searched EMBASE, Medline, and a specialist database in February 2005 and scrutinized reference lists from relevant publications. DATA EXTRACTION: Data on the source of funding, study design, methodologic quality, and other study characteristics were extracted. The primary outcome was the reporting of at least one statistically significant association between the exposure and a health-related outcome. Data were analyzed using logistic regression models. DATA SYNTHESIS: Of 59 studies, 12 (20%) were funded exclusively by the telecommunications industry, 11 (19%) were funded by public agencies or charities, 14 (24%) had mixed funding (including industry), and in 22 (37%) the source of funding was not reported. Studies funded exclusively by industry reported the largest number of outcomes, but were least likely to report a statistically significant result: The odds ratio was 0.11 (95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.78), compared with studies funded by public agencies or charities. This finding was not materially altered in analyses adjusted for the number of outcomes reported, study quality, and other factors. CONCLUSIONS: The interpretation of results from studies of health effects of radiofrequency radiation should take sponsorship into account.

T1  - Nomenclatural Notes On the Names Gaeolaelaps and Geolaelaps (Acari: Laelapidae)
AN  - 20838618; 7765992
AB  - The genus-group names Geolaelaps and Gaeolaelaps (Acari: Laelapidae) are in widespread use in the formal taxonomic literature of acarology, for a genus or subgenus of predatory soil mites. They are also in use in the literature of ecology and agriculture, especially in discussions of the biological control of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), and sciarid larvae and gnats of the genus Bradysia, in greenhouse vegetables and ornamentals (Zhang, 2003). Examples of usage in mite taxonomy are Karg (1971), Evans & Till (1979) and Casanueva (1993) (Gaeolaelaps), and Karg (1979, 1993) and Xu & Liang (1996) (Geolaelaps). Examples of usage in ecology and agriculture include House et al. (1987) (Gaeolaelaps) and Gillespie & Quiring (1990) (Geolaelaps). There are many other examples of usage of both of these names in both print and internet documents, and there is considerable confusion surrounding their spelling and authorship. The purpose of this note is to resolve that confusion. The genus name Geolaelaps is often attributed to Berlese (1923). Berlese (1923, page 254) mentioned the name Geolaelaps in passing in his discussion of Hypoaspis hospes Berlese. However, he did not provide any description of the genus or any indication of a description of the genus, or provide any designation or indication of an available speciesgroup name in combination with it or referred to by bibiographic reference. This name therefore violates the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), Article 12, for names published before 1931 (International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999), and is a nomen nudum, not an available name. It is listed as a nomen nudum in the Zoological Record, Volume 90, 1953. The name Gaeolaelaps is usually attributed to Traegaardh (1952). Traegaardh (1952, page 66) used the genus name Gaeolaelaps and stated that G. aculeifer was its type species, apparently referring to a type designation in unpublished notes or work by Berlese. He also stated that Gaeolaelaps was mentioned in text by Berlese but never described. Traegaardh did not provide a description of the genus or any bibliographic reference to a description of the genus. Gaeolaelaps Traegaardh, 1952 therefore violates ICZN Article 13, for names published after 1931 and is also a nomen nudum, not an available name. Traegaardh provided a key to four genera related to Hypoaspis, based on specimens in the Berlese collection, but did not include Gaeolaelaps. This suggests that Traegaardh himself did not believe that Gaeolaelaps was an available name. Ryke (1963, page 11) used the spelling Geolaelaps, attributed it to Berlese (1924) (here referred to as 1923), and said that Berlese placed the species aculeifer Canestrini, 1884 in this genus. However, Berlese (1923) never mentioned aculeifer, and it seems likely that Ryke too was directly or indirectly referring to some unpublished notes or manuscript of Berlese for that type designation. This point has also been made by Till (1963), who referred to an unpublished usage of Gaeolaelaps by Berlese in a manuscript. We have seen photographs of an unpublished manuscript of Berleses entitled Genera Mesostigmatum, which is in the Berlese Acaroteca in Firenze. Page 53 of that manuscript includes hand drawn illustrations of a species of Laelapidae with the inscription "Gen. HYPOASPIS G. Can. Subgen. GAeOLAeLAPS Berl. Typus Gamasus aculeifer G. R. Can." in Berleses handwriting.

T1  - Complete Degradation of the Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Dimethyl Phthalate ester by Flavobacterium sp
AN  - 20809337; 8113425
AB  - The complete microbial degradation of dimethyl phthalate ester (DMPE) is described. DMPE is thought to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical. A pure culture (strain No.A-9) from soil sample capable of utilizing DMPE as the sole source of carbon and energy was identified as Flavobacterium sp. Degradation patterns of DMPE were observed on the high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) of the culture filtrates of this strain, and growth of bacteria was measured as protein by the Kennedy and Fewson method. The growth yield of this strain was about 5.9 g of protein per mole of carbon source of DMPE, and was similar to that in the case of glucose as a carbon source. Complete degradation of DMPE had been achieved (1000 mg/l) in less than 2 days using Flavobacterium sp. strain No.A-9. The transient intermediates of DMPE were not detectable on the HPLC of the culture filtrates of this strain. This strain also degraded phthalic acid (PA) but could not degrade phthalic anhydride.

T1  - Estimating and reducing the amount of Plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus Gould) habitat sprayed with pesticides for locust control in the New South Wales Riverina
AN  - 20808067; 8110430
AB  - The potential effects of pesticides used to control locusts in the New South Wales Riverina on the endangered Plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus) have been of concern since the early 1980s. We used geographical information systems (GIS) to determine the intersection of primary and secondary Plains-wanderer habitat areas with historical locust-control data and provide estimates of the area of Plains-wanderer habitat sprayed by the Australian Plague Locust Commission for control of locusts between 1977 and 2005. Peaks among these estimates, expressed as a percentage of the identified habitat occurring on nine 1 : 100A 000 map sheets within the New South Wales Riverina study area, corresponded with years of peak locust control activity, although the proportion of habitat affected was less than expected. The maximum amount of habitat exposed to pesticides occurred in 1993-94, when 16% of primary and 12% of secondary Plains-wanderer habitat was sprayed. Locust-control protocols during 2004-05 were altered to reduce the amount of Plains-wanderer habitat sprayed with fenitrothion from 16% to 1.5%, and to increase the use of the biological control agent, Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (Green Guard super(A(r))), over plains-wanderer habitat from 0% to 3.6%. The use of Green Guard super(A(r)) during future locust control within Plains-wanderer habitat in the Riverina has been recommended in the draft NSW Plains-wanderer recovery plan (New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service 2002).

T1  - Myxomycetes on the bark of Banksia attenuata and B. menziesii (Proteaceae)
AN  - 20734818; 7989088
AB  - Myxomycetes on the bark of dead Banksia attenuata and B. menziesii from the Perth metropolitan area of Western Australia were surveyed by the moist chamber technique, to determine whether the flora was similar on both hosts and what were the most important variables that determined the distribution of the most common species. Twenty-seven species of myxomycetes were recovered, including six new records for Australia (Comatricha rigidireta, Echinostelium elachiston, Paradiacheopsis cf. cribrata, P. rigida, Stemonitopsis amoena and S. cf. hyperopta). Members of the order Stemonitales comprised the largest number of species, whereas members of the Liceales occurred on the most bark pieces. The most common species were Licea kleistobolus, Echinostelium minutum, Comatricha elegans, Cribraria minutissima and Paradiacheopsis fimbriata. Overall, B. menziesii and B. attenuata had very similar myxomycete productivity, diversity and species assemblage, as did the tops and bottoms of the logs. It was concluded that they provided very similar microhabitats for myxomycetes. Both pH and the relative moisture content of the bark had an effect on myxomycete productivity. Bark decomposition level, pH and bark surface (top or bottom) were the most important variables determining the distribution of the most common myxomycete species.

T1  - Comparison of surface microfouling and bacterial attachment on the egg capsules of two molluscan species representing Cephalopoda and Neogastropoda
AN  - 20728360; 7487220
AB  - Many organisms naturally defend themselves against microbial attachment and biofouling in the marine environment. In this study, we investigated microbial fouling on 2 molluscan egg capsules using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) with bacterial viability staining and bacterial attachment experiments with the biofilm- forming Pseudoalteromonas sp. S91 in flow chambers. Results indicated that early stage egg capsules of Dicathais orbita (Neogastropoda) are relatively free of surface microorganisms. Egg capsules during the trocophore stage had a regularly ridged microtexture, but as capsules matured, shedding of the outer wall was observed, followed by the extrusion of unidentified droplets, which then accumulated on the capsule surface in association with bacteria. By comparison, the egg capsules of Sepioteuthis australis (Cephalopoda) were found to have an irregular surface with many hills and valleys that accommodate colonization by a variety of microorganisms. At the later stages of development these squid egg capsules become heavily colonized by algal spores. Cross sections of egg capsules revealed that S. australis capsule walls were about 12 times thicker than D. orbita egg capsules. Staining the egg capsules with BacLight also revealed a significantly thicker biofilm, with more live and dead bacteria on S. australis capsules than on those of D. orbita (p < 0.05). Flow chamber experiments indicated that the surface of S. australis capsules provided a suitable substrate for colonization by Pseudoalteromonas sp. S91, whereas colonization was significantly less on D. orbita egg capsules after 24 and 72 h (p < 0.01). These experiments indicated that D. orbita egg capsules are better defended against fouling microbes than are the eggs of S. australis. D. orbita appears to use a combination of physical, mechanical and possibly chemical defense mechanisms to reduce fouling on their egg capsules.

T1  - Egg size and number is influenced by both environmental and social factors in a facultatively social bee
AN  - 20716048; 8243570
AB  - Social factors influencing the trade-off between egg size and number have been almost entirely neglected in studies of social insects. We examined egg size and number in an Australian allodapine bee where nutritional resource availability and social competition during egg laying vary over colony development. We hypothesised that during August queens should lay many eggs to provide work incentives for subordinates, but because resources are strongly limited these eggs will be small. In spring, resources are less limited but some subordinates also lay eggs, resulting in competition between offspring for communally provided food. Here, we hypothesised that females should attempt to direct resources preferentially to their own offspring by laying large eggs. We analysed egg numbers and weights as functions of colony size. We found that a trade-off existed in August nests but that egg size increased with egg number in October. In November, when larval eclosion was commencing, colonies with larvae had smaller mean egg weights than those with only eggs, suggesting that resources are directed away from oviposition towards larval provisioning. Our analyses suggest that egg size is a function of egg number, rather than colony size per se.

T1  - Evolutionary correlations between microhabitat specialisation and locomotor capabilities in the lizard genus Niveoscincus
AN  - 20713489; 8243575
AB  - The evolutionary consequences of generalised versus specialised habit is a central issue in organismal biology. Theory predicts that specialist species may have greater capabilities than generalist species in particular habitats but will not be able to maintain this excellence across a broad range of habitats. The evolutionary consequences of ecological specialisation, in terms of functional capabilities, were investigated in the lizard genus Niveoscincus from Tasmania. Breadth of microhabitat occupation and ecologically relevant locomotor capabilities were quantified across the genus. Laboratory performance trials demonstrated that some species excelled in just a few of the five performance traits measured, while other species performed well at all traits but did not excel at any. Results of comparative analyses demonstrate that there is a significant evolutionary correlation between microhabitat breadth and range of locomotor capabilities. These results provide convincing evidence that habitat specialists have a correspondingly limited range of locomotor capabilities.

T1  - Evolving concepts in the architecture and functionality of OBIS, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System
AN  - 20709911; 10882668
AB  - The initial release of OBIS, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System, provided a distributed search mechanism to retrieve marine species distribution records from a range of remote data providers in real time, based on a match on species scientific name and other parameters if specified. This 'fully distributed' version 1 of OBIS was upgraded in 2004 to provide improved functionality, system response times, and metadata-level information on available data via the OBIS system, by the introduction of two new components, an 'OBIS Index' comprising a species name index and a spatial index, and a local cache of commonly queried attributes of OBIS data items, refreshed on a rolling basis from the remote data providers. The conceptual, implementation and performance aspects of these developments are described in the present paper.

T1  - Achieving ecological sustainability with the introduction of a 'Sustainability Guarantee'
AN  - 20657068; 8080593
AB  - For nearly a decade, a small number of economists have been promoting a Job Guarantee to achieve full employment (Mitchell and Watts, 1997; Wray, 1998). As an ecological economist, I have also been a recent supporter of the Job Guarantee on the basis that: (a) the macroeconomics of the Job Guarantee appear to be sound; (b) unemployment is an inequitable outcome that should not be tolerated; and (c) ecological economists, to their own detriment, have been largely silent on the potential employment implications of moving towards ecological sustainability (Lawn, 2004b). To complement the Job Guarantee, a Sustainability Guarantee is put forward and explained. While the Sustainability Guarantee is nothing intrinsically new in the sense that it involves a number of policy initiatives already outlined by ecological economists, I believe the Sustainability Guarantee can overcome the environmental concerns associated with the Job Guarantee and thus enable ecological sustainability and full employment to be simultaneously achieved.

T1  - Some observations on the IPCC assessment process 1988-2007
AN  - 20578124; 7830148
AB  - The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has shaped the international debate on human-induced climate change since 1988. It has developed a unique methodology for the assessment of scientific knowledge as a basis for policy formation and its reports and their use by governments have been both warmly praised and strongly criticised. Although the integrity of the IPCC assessment process has been subject to many pressures, and the demands on its Chairmen, Working Group Co-Chairs, Lead Authors, reviewers and national delegations have been heavy and sustained, this insider assessment of the overall role and operation of the IPCC over the past 20 years concludes that, on balance, the IPCC assessment process has been extraordinarily successful and that it has served the world well. The paper provides both an anecdotal and analytical view of the origin, establishment and operation of the IPCC and an evaluation of some of the main lines of criticism that have been directed at its role, its modus operandi and its reports.

T1  - Methods and ethical considerations of pitfall trapping for the western pygmy possum (Cercartetus concinnus Gould) (Marsupialia : Burramyidae), with observations on capture patterns and nest sites
AN  - 20571298; 8110592
AB  - In order to enhance future trapping of the western pygmy possum (Cercartetus concinnus) and minimise the capture of non-target species in the context of animal ethics, we examined the effectiveness of several pitfall-trap capture methods and described capture patterns at Innes National Park, South Australia. For 2606 trap-nights, 78 (2.99 per 100 trap-nights) captures were pygmy possums (70 individuals). They represented 69% of the 113 vertebrates captured, followed by house mice (Mus domesticus) (22%). Nocturnal captures of pygmy possums varied with season (5.21 per 100 trap- nights in spring and summer, and 1.02 in autumn and winter). Males were more commonly captured than females. Half of the pygmy possums used the artificial shelters provided in the traps. We alternated 39-cm-deep and 31-cm-deep pitfall traps along trap lines, with and without drift netting. Pitfall depth did not significantly affect the capture rate of pygmy possums, but house mice were captured significantly more often in deep pitfalls. Use of a drift net did not affect the capture of pygmy possums, but increased mouse captures. These results have significant ethical implications because the use of 'shallow traps and the elimination of the drift net minimised the capture of non-target mice. We recommend reporting trapping details precisely, because a difference of only 8A cm in trap depth can have a significant impact on species selected for capture. Our study also showed that pygmy possums are able to use a range of structures for daily shelter and are not dependent on hollows.

T1  - Rapid Identification of High Particle Number Emitting On-Road Vehicles and Its Application to a Large Fleet of Diesel Buses
AN  - 20531188; 7987612
AB  - Pollutant concentrations measured in the exhaust plume of a vehicle may be related to the pollutant emission factor using the CO sub(2) concentration as a measure of the dilution factor. We have used this method for the rapid identification of high particle number (PN) emitting on-road vehicles. The method was validated for PN using a medium-duty vehicle and successfully applied to measurements of PN emissions from a large fleet of on-road diesel buses. The ratio of PN concentration to CO sub(2) concentration, Z, in the exhaust plume was estimated for individual buses. On the average, a bus emitted about 1.5 x 10 super(9) particles per mg of CO sub(2) emitted. A histogram of the number of buses as a function of Z showed, for the first time, that the PN emissions from diesel buses followed a gamma distribution, with most of the values within a narrow range and a few buses exhibiting relatively large values. It was estimated that roughly 10% and 50% of the PN emissions came from just 2% and 25% of the buses, respectively. A regression analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between Z and age of buses, with the slope of the best line being significantly different from zero. The mean Z value for the pre-Euro buses was significantly greater than each of the values for the Euro I and II buses.

T1  - Topology optimization of energy-absorbing structures
AN  - 20514841; 8024692
AB  - This paper presents a method for and examples of topology optimization of energy absorption structures. The topology optimization problem is solved by using the elements as design variables. The sensitivity number of an element is derived from using an adjoint method to address two principal design parameters, namely absorbed energy per unit volume, e sub(1), and absorbed energy ratio, e sub(2). Filter techniques are employed to smooth sensitivities in the design space and to eliminate unnecessary structural details below a certain length-scale. The bi-directional evolutionary optimization (BESO) technique is used to search for the optimal design in the whole design domain by gradually removing and adding material. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the capability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

T1  - Using biometric measurements to determine gender of Flesh-footed Shearwaters, and their application as a tool in long-line by-catch management and ecological field studies
AN  - 20460863; 7722604
AB  - We examined sexual dimorphism in 11 morphological characters of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus carneipes) and used these characters in a discriminant function analysis (DFA) to enable sexual classification in the field. We also used molecular techniques to determine gender in live birds. Sexual dimorphism was present in all characters tested, with males (n = 50) significantly larger than females (n = 52) in all cases. A stepwise DFA of the 11 morphological characters resulted in gender being correctly assigned in 91% of birds using head-bill length (HBL), minimum bill-depth (MBD), and superior unguicorn-width (SUW), using the generalised function-48.360 + (0.661 x SUW) + (0.931 X MBD) + (0.334 x HBL). Of the nine misclassifications, seven were a result of females being incorrectly assigned as males, indicating an overlap between the upper cut off value for females with the lower threshold value for males. We applied the DFA to an existing morphometric dataset (n = 219) of Flesh-footed Shearwaters caught as incidental by-catch from long-line fishing in the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery. The generalised discriminant function derived from live birds performed poorly when applied to the by-catch sample (only 68.5% correctly sexed), and the issues of data consistency and the application of discriminant functions between populations are discussed. A two-character DFA constructed from the by-catch dataset (-30.128 + 0.206 x HBL + 0.848 x MBD) resulted in 86% of by-catch birds being correctly sexed. The findings suggest that a combination of the morphological traits HBL, MBD and SUW are sufficiently robust to use in the field to determine the gender of live birds. The merits and application of this technique are discussed in relation to seabird conservation and management.

T1  - Baseline geochemical survey of the Riverina region of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia: concentrations and distributions of As, Ba, Br, Cd, Co, Cr, F, Ga, Mo, Sb, U and V compared to national and international guidelines
AN  - 20433871; 7643905
AB  - This study discusses element excesses and deficiencies in the regolith of the Riverina region, which may impact on plant, animal and human health. Top (0-10 cm depth) and bottom (c. 60-90 cm depth) overbank sediment samples were collected near the outlets of 142 catchments and the composition of the -180 [mu]m fractions determined. Total concentrations of As (0.8-159.8 mg/kg), Ba (189- 1263 mg/kg), Br (-1-89.5 mg/kg), Cd (-0.1-2.33 mg/kg), Cr (29-200 mg/kg), F (150-610 mg/kg), Ga (6.3-26.1 mg/kg), Sb (0.37-10.8 mg/kg), U (1.26- 8.49 mg/kg) and V (31-145 mg/kg) are locally elevated above national and international guidelines and these elements therefore have potential for health concerns. Concentrations in at least half of the samples are above the guidelines for Ba, Cr, F, Ga and V. Based on total concentrations, most elements are unlikely to cause harm due to their low plant uptake and/or strong adsorption onto soil particles; however, Cd, V and U in particular require further investigation. Total concentrations of Co (2.96-34.2 mg/kg) and Mo (0.5-1.9 mg/kg) are potentially deficient in parts of the region and can be remedied with the application of appropriate fertilizers.

T1  - Olympic lightweight and open-class rowers possess distinctive physical and proportionality characteristics
AN  - 20426632; 7263467
AB  - Rowers competing at the 2000 Olympic Games were measured for 38 anthropometric dimensions. The aim was to identify common physical characteristics that could provide a competitive advantage. The participants included 140 male open-class rowers, 69 female open-class rowers, 50 male lightweight rowers, and 14 female lightweight rowers. Body mass, stature, and sitting height were different (P < 0.01) between the open-class and lightweight rowers, as well as a comparison group of healthy young adults ("non-rowers", 42 males, 71 females), for both sexes. After scaling for stature, the open-class rowers remained proportionally heavier than the non-rowers, with greater proportional chest, waist, and thigh dimensions (P < 0.01). Rowers across all categories possessed a proportionally smaller hip girth than the non-rowers (P < 0.01), which suggested the equipment places some constraints on this dimension. Top-ranked male open-class rowers were significantly taller and heavier and had a greater sitting height (P< 0.01) than their lower-ranked counterparts. They were also more muscular in the upper body, as indicated by a larger relaxed arm girth and forearm girth (P < 0.01). For the male lightweight rowers, only proportional thigh length was greater in the best competitors (P < 0.01). In the female open-class rowers, skinfold thicknesses were lower in the more highly placed competitors (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the rowers in this sample demonstrated distinctive physical characteristics that distinguish them from non-rowers and other sports performers.

T1  - A virus vector based on Canine Herpesvirus for vaccine applications in canids
AN  - 20357938; 7641158
AB  - Canine Herpesvirus (CHV) is being developed as a virus vector for the vaccination of European red foxes. However, initial studies using recombinant CHV vaccines in foxes revealed viral attenuation and lack of antibody response to inserted foreign antigens. These findings were attributed both to inactivation of the thymidine kinase (TK) gene and excess foreign genetic material in the recombinant viral genome. In this study, we report an improved CHV-bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector system designed to overcome attenuation in foxes. A non-essential region was identified in the CHV genome as an alternative insertion site for foreign genes. Replacement of a guanine/cytosine (GC)-rich intergenic region between UL21 and UL22 of CHV with a marker gene did not change growth behaviour in vitro, showing that this region is not essential for virus growth in cell culture. We subsequently produced a CHV-BAC vector with an intact TK gene in which the bacterial genes and the antigen expression cassette were inserted into this GC-rich locus. Unlike earlier constructs, the new CHV-BAC allowed self-excision of the bacterial genes via homologous recombination after transfection of BACs into cell culture. The BAC-CHV system was used to produce a recombinant virus that constitutively expressed porcine zona pellucida subunit C protein between the UL21 and UL22 genes of CHV. Complete self-excision of the bacterial genes from CHV was achieved within one round of replication whilst retaining antigen gene expression.

T1  - Temporal and spatial variation of physical, biological, and chemical parameters in a large waste stabilisation pond, and the implications for WSP modelling
AN  - 20354195; 7501202
AB  - The spatial and temporal variation of physical, chemical, and biological parameters was determined, in summer and winter, at nine sites in a large (112 ha) waste stabilisation pond (WSP) at the Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant. Each site was extensively sampled over the course of one day, with the nine sites sampled over successive days at exactly the same times of day, progressing in the direction of bulk flow through the pond. Analyses of covariance were used to test the independent impact of site and climate on the way in which the mean values and stratification gradient of the physical, chemical, and biological parameters varied diurnally at each site. In both winter and summer studies there was a very strong correlation at all sites between changes in temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO). Mean pond temperatures were higher in summer than winter, and thermal stratification was more common in summer. In summer, during the day at each site, concentrations of chlorophyll-a, DO, suspended solids and pH increased with higher solar radiation levels. This relationship was less evident in winter. There was no systematic depth or temporal variation identified in either the summer or winter study for the broad range of chemical parameters measured. Mean values for these parameters, and to a lesser extent their stratification gradients, increased by varying extents throughout the day at the different sites in both summer and winter, irrespective of changes in climate when the different sites were sampled. Sites nearer the inlet to the WSP recorded lower NH sub(4)N and higher NO sub(2)N and NO sub(3)N concentrations than the rest of the WSP. This was indicative of nitrification. Somewhat surprisingly, high DO concentrations were also recorded at these sites near the inlets. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, incorporating the predominant wind conditions, offers a rationale for these observations. Recirculation was evident, which may increase the residence time for the slow growing autotrophic nitrifying bacteria and recirculate oxygen rich water around these sites - conditions which would enhance nitrification. Understanding the effect of these variations, overlaid by the influence of hydraulic and temporal scenarios, assists in developing a mechanistic understanding of pond operation.

T1  - Omnivorous diet of the endangered Pygmy Bluetongue Lizard, Tiliqua adelaidensis
AN  - 20322971; 7664800
AB  - We used scats from 71 individuals to determine the diet of the endangered Pygmy Bluetongue Lizard, Tiliqua adelaidensis, from South Australia. As predicted both from its previously reported behaviour as an ambush forager, and from its relatively small size, this scincid lizard feeds largely on arthropod prey, and the prey in the diet change opportunistically over the spring and summer. As expected, the species is less herbivorous than larger species in the same or related genera. However plant material is included in the diet to a greater extent as the summer progresses. Conservation of this species may rely on maintaining a high abundance of arthropod prey, and a habitat where efficient prey capture is possible, and on retaining appropriate plants in the species' habitat.

T1  - "Getting Me Back on Track": The Role of Outreach Interventions in Engaging and Retaining People Living with HIV/AIDS in Medical Care
AN  - 20307364; 7577233
AB  - This qualitative study investigated the process of engagement in HIV medical care from the perspective of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). In-depth interviews were conducted with 76 participants in six cities. All participants were considered underserved because of histories of substance use, mental illness, incarceration, homelessness, or cultural barriers to the traditional health care system. A semistructured interview guide elicited narratives related to health care and the role of program interventions in facilitating access to care. Data analysis revealed that participants cycled in and out of care, a process that was influenced by (1) their level of acceptance of being diagnosed with HIV, (2) their ability to cope with substance use, mental illness, and stigma, (3) their health care provider relationships, (4) the presence of external support systems, and (5) their ability to overcome practical barriers to care. Outreach interventions played a role in connecting participants to care by dispelling myths and improving knowledge about HIV, facilitating access to HIV care and treatment, providing support, and reducing the barriers to care. The findings suggest that outreach programs can interrupt this cyclical process and foster sustained, regular HIV care for underserved PLWHA by conducting client-centered risk assessments to identify and reduce sources of instability and improve the quality of provider relationships; implementing strategies that promote healthy practices; creating a network of support services in the community; and supporting adherence through frequent follow-ups for medication and appointment keeping.

T1  - Collateral benefit: unconscious conservation of threatened plant species
AN  - 20290104; 7476420
AB  - In Europe, the conservation of rare or threatened plant species (ROTS) largely involves the manipulation of anthropogenic disturbance regimes rather than the mitigation of human-induced threatening processes, as has been the case in Australia. In Tasmania, there are many ROTS, especially those of the depleted and stock-grazed grasslands and grassy woodlands, which survive because, unconscious of the needs of ROTS, people have disturbed land in ways that suit their life-cycle requirements. Such species are found in quarries, in borrow pits, in scrapes, on roadsides, on track edges, on old roads, under introduced trees, in heavily grazed native pastures, in regenerating clearfell coupes and on mown ground. They are disturbance-dependent species, usually with poor competitive abilities. Many cannot survive stock-grazing. Unconscious conservation of these species needs to become conscious, in the European manner. Spatial heterogeneity in disturbance regimes is important for maintaining this set of species, whereas temporal heterogeneity is likely to lead to their doom.

T1  - Bacterial source tracking in the Vernon River watershed
AN  - 20180431; 8831060
AB  - The Vernon River basin drains 16,000 acres of densely populated, urbanized area that includes portions of the City of Savannah and Chatham County and all of the City of Vernonburg. The upper reaches of the basin are comprised of several urban storm water drainage canals, including Casey Canal, which discharge into Hayners Creek, one of many small feeder creeks draining to the Vernon River. Hayners Creek and Casey Canal are listed on Georgia's 303(d) list as not supporting their designated Fishing classification due to fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, and fish consumption guideline water quality criteria. Conventional methods to determine the source of fecal coliform bacteria have been unsuccessful to date. Stakeholders within the Vernon River Watershed, including the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, the cities of Savannah and Vernonburg, the Chatham County Heath Department, and Integrated Science & Engineering, Inc, understand that is critically important to identify the sources of fecal contamination in order to develop a workable management plan to eliminate the identified sources. Through Georgia Environmental Protection Division 319 grant funding assistance, the Vernon River Stakeholders' Project Team will utilize Assessing Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) and Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Fingerprinting to track and identify the source of bacterial contamination in the Vernon River basin. This project will also evaluate viral tagging of fecal bacteria in septic systems as an effective indicator of septic functionality. Once the source(s) of fecal contamination are identified through the bacterial source tracking program, the Project Team will develop best management practices to address and eliminate those identified sources. Once established, these BMPs will likely be incorporated into the future TMDL Implementation Plan for the Vernon River basin. Because this basin is typical of coastal communities in the region, the BMPs developed through this project will likely be applicable on a regional scale.

T1  - Sedimentological Signatures of the Sub-Amery Ice Shelf Circulation
AN  - 20177230; 7839112
AB  - Two sediment cores collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica describe the physical sedimentation patterns beneath an existing major embayed ice shelf. Core AM01b was collected from a site of basal freezing, contrasting with core AM02, collected from a site of basal melting. Both cores comprise Holocene siliceous muddy ooze (SMO), however, AM01b also recovered interbedded siliciclastic mud, sand and gravel with inclined bedding in its lower 27 cm. This interval indicates an episode of variable but strong current activity before SMO sedimentation became dominant. sub(14)C ages corrected for old surface ages are consistent with previous dating of marine sediments in Prydz Bay. However, the basal age of AM01b of 28250 plus or minus 230 sub(14)C yr bp probably results from greater contamination by recycled organic matter. Lithology, sub(14)C surface ages, absolute diatom abundance, and the diatom assemblage are used as indicators of sediment transport pathways beneath the ice shelf. The transport pathways suggested from these indicators do not correspond to previous models of the basal melt/freeze pattern. This indicates that the overturning baroclinic circulation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf (near-bed inflow-surface outflow) is a more important influence on basal melt/freeze and sediment distributions than the barotropic circulation that produces inflow in the east and outflow in the west of the ice front. Localized topographic (ice draft and bed elevation) variations are likely to play a dominant role in the resulting sub-ice shelf melt and sediment distribution.

T1  - Prospects for immunocontraception in the European red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
AN  - 20142800; 8110624
AB  - The European red fox is an introduced pest species in Australia for which improved means of control are urgently needed. Research efforts have focussed recently on the development of novel biological control methods to reduce the serious impact this species continues to have on both native fauna and the sheep industry. The ultimate goal has been to generate an antifertility vaccine for use on foxes that relies on a process termed 'immunocontraception. A variety of proteins derived from sperm and oocytes, together with different delivery vectors, have been experimentally assessed for their ability to induce immunocontraceptive responses in foxes. Vaccine vectors screened have included Salmonella typhimurium, vaccinia virus and canine herpesvirus but suppression of fertility has yet to be achieved with any combination of antigen and delivery vector. Downregulation of fox mucosal antibodies during oestrus, lack of vector replication and low antibody responses to the target antigens have been the main constraints in successful fertility control. The fox is not well known as an experimental animal and the logistics of dealing with this difficult-to-handle species proved to be a major challenge when compared with other species, such as rabbits and mice. Despite these difficulties, research on fox immunocontraception has generated important insights into the reproductive biology, husbandry, biology and basic immunology of viral vectors in European red foxes. This information represents a valuable knowledge base should antifertility vaccination for foxes be revisited in the future.

At the molecular level, cellulose and amylose differ only in their anomeric configuration: beta in cellulose, alpha in amylose. During processing and end use, these polymers experience a variety of mechanochemical stresses, many through contact with transient elongational flow fields. Here, we subject solutions of both polysaccharides to extended periods of ultrasonic irradiation, as the cavitational bubble collapse characteristic of ultrasound experiments creates flow fields strictly analogous to those encountered in other transient elongational flow scenarios. With the use of multidetector size-exclusion chromatography, the effects of anomeric configuration on both the limiting molar mass, beyond which polymers do not degrade in transient elongation flow (M sub(lim)), and the rate of degradation have been isolated in these (1-- >4)-linked polysaccharides. This effect was found to be pronounced; for example, M sub(lim) super(cellulose) = 5(M sub(lim) super(amylose)). Also, while extensive change was observed in molar mass averages, distribution, polydispersity, and size of the analytes during degradation, their structure was found to remain invariant. A modified "path theory" of transient elongational flow degradation was proposed, with the persistence length identified as a parameter which embodies the minimum continuous path length and flexibility requirements of the theory.

T1  - Influence of fuel composition on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from a fleet of in-service passenger cars
AN  - 19967673; 7174009
AB  - The composition of exhaust emissions from eight in-service passenger cars powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and unleaded petrol (ULP) were measured on a chassis dynamometer at two driving speeds (60 and 80 km h super(-1)) with the aims of evaluating their polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contents and investigating the effects of the type of fuel on vehicle performance, ambient air quality and associated health risks. Naphthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo(a)anthracene and benzo(b)fluoranthene were the most prominent PAHs emitted by both ULP and LPG powered cars. The total emission factors of PAHs from LPG cars were generally lower than (but statistically comparable with) those of ULP cars. Similarly, the total BAP sub(eq) of the PAHs emitted by LPG cars were lower than those from ULP cars. Multi- criteria decision making (MCDM) methods showed that cars powered by LPG fuel performed better than those powered by ULP fuel in term of PAH levels. The implications of these observations on the advantages and disadvantages of using ULP and LPG fuels are discussed.

T1  - Human T cell leukemia virus type I is resistant to the antiviral effects of APOBEC3
AN  - 19856447; 7247061
AB  - The objective of this study was to investigate whether the anti-retroviral cellular cytidine deaminase, APOBEC3, inhibits the infectivity of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I). Sufficient quantities of cell-free HTLV-I virion for infection were obtained by cotransfecting cells with HTLV-I and human or murine APOBEC3 expression vectors along with a plasmid expressing Tax. HTLV-I viruses containing these deaminases were still capable of infecting 293T and MOLT-4 cells. No G-to-A mutations, which are characteristic of cytidine deaminases, were observed in the HTLV-I genome. These results suggest that the enzymatic activity of APOBEC3 may not contribute substantially to antiviral responses to HTLV-I.

T1  - A broad antiviral neutral glycolipid, fattiviracin FV-8, is a membrane fluidity modulator
AN  - 19844043; 7225788
AB  - To screen for an effective antiviral compound which acts as a membrane fluidity modulator, dichotomous effects on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection due to different treatments of several glycolipids and lipids were examined. Continuous treatment of infected cells with 40 mu g ml super(-1) fattiviracin FV-8, a neutral glycolipid isolated from Streptomycetes, inhibited HIV-1 infection by 96%, whereas pretreatment with 400 mu g ml super(-1) enhanced infectivity 4.7-fold. The glycolipid showed similar effects as glycyrrhizin; it inhibited infection by broad enveloped viruses, blocked cell-cell fusion, reduced the infectivity of treated virions and enhanced susceptibility to viral infection and cell-cell fusion of cells pretreated with high doses of the compound. Suppression and enhancement was correlated with decreased and increased fluidity of plasma membrane of the fattiviracin FV-8-treated cells. Restricted movement of membrane molecules might impede the formation of a wide fusion pore, and therefore be critical to the entry of viruses. Thus, this can be applied as a new strategy to inhibit viral infections.

T1  - Review Article: Roles of the ribosomal protein S19 dimer and the C5a receptor in pathophysiological functions of phagocytic leukocytes
AN  - 19780427; 7229541
AB  - Monocytes and neutrophils, the major phagocytic leukocytes, migrate to inflammatory sites by sensing chemoattractants such as anaphylatoxin C5a with membrane receptors such as C5a receptor. Upon stimulation, the leukocytes increase cytoplasmic Ca super(2+) concentration and generate radical oxygen species. These leukocytes have different functions in inflammation. Neutrophils migrate more rapidly and induce vascular plasma leakage upon infiltration. Monocytes infiltrate tissue more slowly but have superior capacities of phagocytosis and antigen presentation. There must be mechanisms to separately recruit the leukocyte species at an inflammatory site. Ribosomal protein S19 (RP S19) is a component of ribosome. During apoptosis, RP S19 is dimerized and obtains a ligand capacity to C5a receptor. The RP S19 dimer attracts monocytes to phagocytically clear the apoptotic cells that released the dimer molecules. The phagocytic monocytes-macrophages then translocate to regional lymph nodes and present apoptotic cell-derived antigens. Oppositely, the RP S19 dimer inhibits C5a-induced neutrophil migration and promotes apoptosis of neutrophils via the C5a receptor. The RP S19 dimer seems to prevent excessive tissue destruction induced by neutrophils. Skp is a molecular chaperon of Gram-negative bacteria. Skp also attracts monocytes and neutrophils as a ligand of C5a receptor. However, it promotes neither cytoplasmic Ca super(2+) enhancement nor radical oxygen generation.

T1  - Dynamic knowledge validation and verification for CBR teledermatology system
AN  - 19762161; 7573345
AB  - Objective Case-based reasoning has been of great importance in the development of many decision support applications. However, relatively little effort has gone into investigating how new knowledge can be validated. Knowledge validation is important in dealing with imperfect data collected over time, because inconsistencies in data do occur and adversely affect the performance of a diagnostic system. Methods This paper consists of two parts. First, it describes methods that enable the domain expert, who may not be familiar with machine learning, to interactively validate knowledge base of a Web-based teledermatology system. The validation techniques involve decision tree classification and formal concept analysis. Second, it describes techniques to discover unusual relationships hidden in the dataset for building and updating a comprehensive knowledge base, because the diagnostic performance of the system is highly dependent on the content thereof. Therefore, in order to classify different kinds of diseases, it is desirable to have a knowledge base that covers common as well as uncommon diagnoses. Results and conclusion Evaluation results show that the knowledge validation techniques are effective in keeping the knowledge base consistent, and that the query refinement techniques are useful in improving the comprehensiveness of the case base.

T1  - Standing stock of deep-sea metazoan meiofauna in the Sulu Sea and adjacent areas
AN  - 19751339; 8263822
AB  - Standing stocks of deep-sea metazoan meiofauna were investigated in the Sulu Sea, one of the most isolated marginal basins with comparably warm bottom-water temperatures ( similar to 10 super(o)C) at depths below 1000m. A decline in the abundance and biomass of organisms with increasing water depth occurred in the basin, but the abundances at bathyal and abyssal sites in the Sulu Basin appeared to be lower than standard values worldwide when adjusted for water depth. There is no significant correlation between meiofaunal abundance and the concentration of chloroplastic pigment equivalents (CPE) in the sediment, an indicator of the amount of organic matter derived from primary production. The ratios of meiofaunal abundance to CPE concentration at the sampling sites were as small as those observed at comparable depths in the Red Sea. These suggest that the quantity of ''food'' is not a primary factor limiting the density of organisms in the basin. It is hypothesized that a higher respiratory activity of benthos caused by warm bottom water and a lower food quality could be important factors regulating the metazoan meiofaunal standing stocks in the Sulu Sea.

T1  - Occurrence of Angiostrongylus species (Nematoda) in populations of Rattus rattus and Rattus fuscipes in coastal forests of south-eastern Australia
AN  - 19735451; 7544683
AB  - The distributions of the introduced nematode parasite, Angiostmngylus cantonensis, and the native Angiostrongylus mackerrasae in Australia are poorly understood. We sampled rodents and/or their faeces, and intermediate gastropod hosts for the presence of Angiostrongylus species in coastal forests surrounding Jervis Bay in south-eastern Australia. We found A. cantonensis in populations of introduced Rattus rattus in forests to the north of Jervis Bay, and A. mackerrasae in native Rattus fuscipes in forests to the south of Jervis Bay. The apparent geographical separation of these lungworm species may be a consequence of host specificity and negative associations between R. rattus and R. fuscipes that results from interspecific competition. A. cantonensis was regularly found in R. rattus or their faeces across 9 of 12 study sites north of Jervis Bay, and three species of snail common to the area were suitable intermediate hosts. This has potential negative implications for native wildlife and human visitors to these forests, because A. cantonensis infection causes zoonotic disease (neuro-angiostrongyliasis) in humans and a wide range of bird and mammal hosts. Management of pest rodents in the study area is warranted.

T1  - Optimal crown-rump length for measuring the nuchal translucency
AN  - 19718418; 7486263
AB  - To determine the optimal crown-rump length (CRL) for obtaining nuchal translucency (NT) measurements. Women undergoing NT measurements by NT-certified sonographers within a combined screening program over an 18-month period were included in the study if they had a living fetus with a CRL of 45-84 mm. NT measurement success and screen-positive rates, transvaginal sonography (TVUS) use, and reasons for failed NT measurements were compared in 3 groups by CRL corresponding to 11-0/7 to 11-6/7 weeks (45-54 mm), 12-0/7 to 12-6/7 weeks (55- 66 mm), and 13-0/7 to 13-6/7 weeks (67-84 mm). Eight hundred thirty-seven women aged 34.9 +/- 4.9 years underwent 1 to 3 NT measurements at a mean CRL of 59.8 +/- 25.0 mm. NT measurements were more successful at 11 and 12 weeks (81.8% and 84.4%) than at 13 weeks (66.9%) (p < 0.001). Screen-positive and TVUS rates, and reasons for failed NT measurements did not vary by CRL. NT measurements are most successful at CRL 45-66 mm corresponding to sonographically determined gestational ages of 11-0/7 to 12-6/7 weeks.

T1  - Structural Study of the DNA Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Complex at the Air-Water Interface
AN  - 19674453; 7988898
AB  - We present here results that demonstrate the formation of a complex of DNA with zwitterionic dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) monolayer at the air-water interface in the presence of Ca super(2+) ions; in particular, we show that the presence of Ca super(2+) cations is essential for the formation of the complex of DPPC with DNA. We characterize the resulting structure by X-ray reflectivity and by null-ellipsometry. We show that DNA maintains its native double helix form when attached to the zwitterionic lipid monolayer, at difference with the case of ammine containing monolayers. Our findings are discussed in view of other works that recently appeared on the interaction of DNA with zwitterionic phospholipids, emphasizing the role of DPPC as a potential vector for transfer of genetic material into mammalian cells by nonviral gene therapy and also suggesting Langmuir/Blodgett layers of zwitterionic phospoholipids as a method for nonconventional DNA immobilization.

T1  - The decline in paediatric malaria admissions on the coast of Kenya
AN  - 19672487; 9034757
AB  - Background There is only limited information on the health impact of expanded coverage of malaria control and preventative strategies in Africa. Methods Paediatric admission data were assembled over 8.25 years from three District Hospitals; Kilifi, Msambweni and Malindi, situated along the Kenyan Coast. Trends in monthly malaria admissions between January 1999 and March 2007 were analysed using several time-series models that adjusted for monthly non-malaria admission rates and the seasonality and trends in rainfall. Results Since January 1999 paediatric malaria admissions have significantly declined at all hospitals. This trend was observed against a background of rising or constant non-malaria admissions and unaffected by long-term rainfall throughout the surveillance period. By March 2007 the estimated proportional decline in malaria cases was 63% in Kilifi, 53% in Kwale and 28% in Malindi. Time-series models strongly suggest that the observed decline in malaria admissions was a result of malaria-specific control efforts in the hospital catchment areas. Conclusion This study provides evidence of a changing disease burden on the Kenyan coast and that the most parsimonious explanation is an expansion in the coverage of interventions such as the use of insecticide-treated nets and the availability of anti-malarial medicines. While specific attribution to intervention coverage cannot be computed what is clear is that this area of Kenya is experiencing a malaria epidemiological transition.

T1  - Alternative water supply plan for Screven County
AN  - 19664710; 8831093
AB  - Screven County recognizes that an essential element in maintaining quality of life for citizens is an adequate potable water supply. A dependable water supply protects the public health and encourages economic development. Water supply facilities must be reliable, efficient, and have adequate capacity to support the anticipated future growth of the community. This paper summarizes the background research and findings pertaining to the existing economic and demographic conditions and discusses potential water supply options, which could be implemented to address needs of the unincorporated County. The findings of the study advocate that Screven County consider the development of a water supply system that is composed of shared or community wells that would be owned and maintained by the County. This type of system would be economically viable in a rural area, and would also provide for the same regulation and monitoring of water supply and water use as a traditional community system.

T1  - Social Biology of Two Malagasy Halterapis: Evidence That Eusociality Is Plesiomorphic for an Ancient Allodapine Lineage
AN  - 19657912; 7412254
AB  - The social biology of many species of allodapine bees from diverse genera has been well studied. However, to infer major evolutionary trends within this tribe as well as plesiomorphic traits in deeper phylogenetic nodes, gaps in our knowledge of social strategies within the poorly understood genus Halterapis must first be investigated. The Malagasy members of this genus comprise 17 described species, but nesting and social biology of only one of these species has been described. Here, we present accounts of the social biology of two other species within this clade, namely, Halterapis isaloensis Brooks and Pauly and Halterapis seyrigi (Benoist). Colony sizes ranged from single-female nests to a seven female nest in H. seyrigi and a nine female nest in H. isaloensis. Nests of both species most commonly contained one to three females and approximately one-half of all colonies collected were multifemale. Both species display strong size-based reproductive skew within multifemale nests and seem to have strongly female-based sex allocation. When added to previous studies, our findings show that sociality is well developed in all major clades of the allodapines, adding support to the notion that sociality is an ancestral trait of the allodapines. This indicates that extant members of the Allodapini do not represent early stages of social evolution and that forms of sociality have frequently reached very complex levels within the tribe.

T1  - Structures of bird communities in woodland remnants in central New South Wales, Australia
AN  - 19657911; 7395709
AB  - The overall aim of this study was to investigate structures of bird communities in remnants of fragmented box/cypress pine woodlands in central New South Wales, Australia, to guide habitat rehabilitation. The aims of the study were to: (1) determine how bird densities and species richness varied with remnant category; (2) determine how ranked densities of bird species varied by feeding group with remnant category; and (3) provide information on structures of bird communities in box/cypress pine woodlands to guide restoration. Structures of bird communities varied with remnant category. Large remnants had the most species whereas medium-sized and small remnants in low condition had the fewest. Bird densities increased with decreasing remnant area although densities did not differ significantly between remnant categories. Ranked bird densities varied between remnant categories, with relatively even distributions in large remnants in high condition, and uneven distributions in small remnants in low condition. Densities of small insectivores were much lower in small, low-condition remnants than in large, high-condition remnants. Densities of generalists such as noisy miner and galah showed the reverse pattern. The structures of bird communities in large remnants in good condition provide a reference state for assessing recovery of bird communities.

T1  - Pharmaceutical substances: emergent contaminants of coastal systems.
AN  - 19649772; 7789535
AB  - Beside classical chemical contaminants (PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, ...), we find substances such as pharmaceuticals in coastal waters. This communication will deal mostly with the development of analytical protocols in order to analyze different classes of pharmaceuticals in aquatic systems. These developments involve both extraction and purification methods but also analytical developments for identification and quantification by GC or LC coupled to MS or MS/MS. The use of semi-permeable membrane devices (Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampler type) to get access to integrative sampling procedure has been also investigated. All analytical developments have been applied to in situ studies in various French estuaries, pointing to the dissolved phase as the most contaminated.

T1  - Pharmaceutical substances: emergent contaminants in marine and estuarine systems
AN  - 19643250; 7491134
AB  - The present work concerns analytical developments in order to analyze different classes of pharmaceuticals in aquatic media (dissolved phase, particulate matter, biological tissues). These developments involve both extraction and purification methods such as SPE and microwave assisted extraction but also analytical developments for identification and quantification by GC/MS. The work presented deals with the development of an extraction procedure that makes it possible to measure at trace level (ng.l super(-1)) several pharmaceuticals belonging to very different chemical classes: anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, hypolipidic drugs, etc. Reliability and sensitivity have been tested on 18 different compounds (7 neutral compounds and 11 acidic drugs) extracted simultaneously and analyzed with two GC-MS methods. Different applications demonstrate the multi-residue but also multi-matrix characteristics of the developed method...

T1  - Sociocultural Influences and Body Image in 9- to 12-Year-Old Girls: The Role of Appearance Schemas
AN  - 19625738; 7361332
AB  - This study tested whether an individual's beliefs about the importance of appearance in their life is a mediator of sociocultural influences on body dissatisfaction in young girls. Participants were 265 girls in Grades 4 to 7 (M age = 10.71 years) from 5 private primary schools in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia. Girls completed questionnaire measures of appearance television and magazine exposure, peer appearance conversations, autonomy, appearance schemas, and body dissatisfaction. Appearance media exposure and peer appearance conversations were negatively related to body esteem, and autonomy positively predicted body esteem. Most important, appearance schemas mediated between all sociocultural variables and body dissatisfaction.

T1  - 6-Minute walk test in patients with COPD: clinical applications in pulmonary rehabilitation
AN  - 19612767; 8569362
AB  - Pulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based intervention for the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In clinical practice, the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is commonly used to assess changes in functional exercise capacity in COPD patients following pulmonary rehabilitation with the primary outcome reported being the distance walked during the test (i.e. 6MWD). The 6MWD has demonstrated validity, reliability after one familiarisation test and the capacity to detect changes following pulmonary rehabilitation. In addition to assessing the outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation, 6MWD may be used to quantify the magnitude of a patient's disability, prescribe a walking programme, identify patients likely to benefit from a rollator and to identify the presence of exercise-induced hypoxaemia. This review describes the applications of the 6MWD in patients with COPD undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.

T1  - Trends in emergency department use of gastric lavage for poisoning events in the United States, 1993-2003
AN  - 19589937; 7302286
AB  - Objective. To determine current trends in the use of gastric decontamination for the emergency department (ED) treatment of overdose patients. Methods. In the National Health Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), a weighted sampling of U.S. EDs, overdose-related visits were examined using ICD-9 CM E codes and NHAMCS' "reason-for-visit" classification. Results. From 1993 to 2003 there were an estimated 11.68 million ED-treated poisoning events. Some 13.7% of those treated were lavaged. Rates fell significantly, from an annual average of 18.7% of cases during 1993-97 to 10.3% during 1998-2003 (p < 0.001). Controlling for year, urgency, and admission status in multivariate logistic modeling, lavage was significantly and positively associated with private insurance payor status, younger age (<30), female gender, white race, 8 PM-8 AM presentation, and intentional rather than unintentional overdose. Conclusion. ED use of gastric lavage in poisoned patients has decreased significantly over the past decade but varies by demographic and non-clinical factors.

T1  - The drought environment: physical, biological and agricultural perspectives
AN  - 19541619; 7253236
AB  - 'Drought' has many meanings in relation to crop production. These range from: statistical (say, the lowest decile of annual rainfall) to a meteorologist; through yield being limited by too little water to an agronomist; to sudden severe water deficits to many molecular biologists. To a farmer, the corresponding management issues, respectively, are risk management (how best to manage a meteorologically drought-prone farm over several years), how best to match cultivar and agronomic operations to the developing growing season, and how best to minimize possible major damage to (say) floral fertility induced by severe water deficits during flowering. All these definitions and the issues they imply are relevant to improving crop production when water is limiting. How can scientists best help? The answers depend on the scales (temporal and spatial) being addressed. Agronomists and breeders, interacting, can help improve components of seasonal water balance in the field, for example, minimizing evaporative losses from the soil surface by better matching the development of a crop to its environment. Physiologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists can help by identifying ways of improving the competence of particular organs. A promising target is floral infertility resulting from water deficits, which results from lesions in tissue, and cellular and molecular processes. Choosing problems whose solutions will have implications in the field and be attractive to farmers requires knowledge of what is important in the field.

T1  - Supervision in Primary Health Care - Can it be Carried Out Effectively in Developing Countries?
AN  - 19526069; 7723751
AB  - There is nothing new about supervision in primary health care service delivery. Supervision was even conducted by the Egyptian pyramid builders. Those supervising have often favoured ridicule and discipline to push individuals and communities to perform their duties. A traditional form of supervision, based on a top-down colonial model, was originally attempted as a tool to improve health service staff performance. This has recently been replaced by a more liberal 'supportive supervision'. While it is undoubtedly an improvement on the traditional model, we believe that even this version will not succeed to any great extent until there is a better understanding of the human interactions involved in supervision. Tremendous cultural differences exist over the globe regarding the acceptability of this form of management. While it is clear that health services in many countries have benefited from supervision of one sort or another, it is equally clear that in some countries, supervision is not carried out, or when carried out, is done inadequately. In some countries it may be culturally inappropriate, and may even be impossible to carry out supervision at all. We examine this issue with particular reference to immunization and other primary health care services in developing countries. Supported by field observations in Papua New Guinea, we conclude that supervision and its failure should be understood in a social and cultural context, being a far more complex activity than has so far been acknowledged. Social sciencebased research is needed to enable a third generation of culture-sensitive ideas to be developed that will improve staff performance in the field.

T1  - Species distribution models and ecological theory: A critical assessment and some possible new approaches
AN  - 19478024; 7162380
AB  - Given the importance of knowledge of species distribution for conservation and climate change management, continuous and progressive evaluation of the statistical models predicting species distributions is necessary. Current models are evaluated in terms of ecological theory used, the data model accepted and the statistical methods applied. Focus is restricted to Generalised Linear Models (GLM) and Generalised Additive Models (GAM). Certain currently unused regression methods are reviewed for their possible application to species modelling. A review of recent papers suggests that ecological theory is rarely explicitly considered. Current theory and results support species responses to environmental variables to be unimodal and often skewed though process-based theory is often lacking. Many studies fail to test for unimodal or skewed responses and straight-line relationships are often fitted without justification. Data resolution (size of sampling unit) determines the nature of the environmental niche models that can be fitted. A synthesis of differing ecophysiological ideas and the use of biophysical processes models could improve the selection of predictor variables. A better conceptual framework is needed for selecting variables. Comparison of statistical methods is difficult. Predictive success is insufficient and a test of ecological realism is also needed. Evaluation of methods needs artificial data, as there is no knowledge about the true relationships between variables for field data. However, use of artificial data is limited by lack of comprehensive theory. Three potentially new methods are reviewed. Quantile regression (QR) has potential and a strong theoretical justification in Liebigs law of the minimum. Structural equation modelling (SEM) has an appealing conceptual framework for testing causality but has problems with curvilinear relationships. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) intended to examine spatial non-stationarity of ecological processes requires further evaluation before being used. Synthesis and applications: explicit theory needs to be incorporated into species response models used in conservation. For example, testing for unimodal skewed responses should be a routine procedure. Clear statements of the ecological theory used, the nature of the data model and sufficient details of the statistical method are needed for current models to be evaluated. New statistical methods need to be evaluated for compatibility with ecological theory before use in applied ecology. Some recent work with artificial data suggests the combination of ecological knowledge and statistical skill is more important than the precise statistical method used. The potential exists for a synthesis of current species modelling approaches based on their differing ecological insights not their methodology.

T1  - Traditional agroforestry in the eastern Himalayan region: Land management system supporting ecosystem services
AN  - 19377511; 8536890
AB  - Large scale land use transition for maximizing the benefits to meet the rising demands for food and other ecosystem services for the well being of the societies has been the main problem confronting sustainable development in the mountain areas. Agroforestry is one of the favoured land management systems in the mountains. This paper analyses the role of traditional large cardamom (Amomum subulatum) agroforestry system on enhancing the ecosystem services in the Eastern Himalayas. The large cardamom based agroforestry system is observed to accelerate the nutrient cycling, increases the soil fertility and productivity, reduces soil erosion, conserves biodiversity, conserves water and soil, serves as carbon sink, improves the living standards of the communities by increasing the farm incomes and also provides aesthetic values for the mountain societies. The cardamom agroforestry stored 3.5 times more carbon than the rainfed agriculture showing potential mitigation possibilities of the agroforestry by sequestration of the atmospheric carbon. The agroforestry is an efficient management system where ratio of output to input is more than 13 compared to rainfed agriculture. Cost benefit analysis showed that the cardamom agroforestry is profiting the farmers by 5.7 times more compared to the rainfed agriculture. This agroforestry system is a unique example of the ecological sustenance and economic viability for the mountain peoples while providing goods and services to the downstream users. In the large scale land use change role of the cardamom agroforestry seems quite promising for ecological and economic sustainability.

T1  - Ethical and Scientific Issues Nanotechnology in the Workplace
AN  - 14796578; 10709970
AB  - Ethical and scientific issues of nanotechnology in the workplace are discussed. Because the goal of occupational safety and health is the prevention of disease in workers, the situations that have ethical implications that most affect workers have been identified. The ethical issues involve the unbiased determination of hazards and risks, nonmaleficence, autonomy, justice, privacy, and promoting respect for persons. As the ethical issues are identified and explored, options for decision-makers can be developed. Societal deliberations about workplace risks of nanotechnologies may be enhanced by special emphasis on small business and adoption of a global perspective. The results indicate that the workers would be able to exercise their autonomy only if the processes leading to hazard identification and risk assessment are transparent and understandable.

T1  - Increased Rate of Hospitalization for Diabetes and Residential Proximity of Hazardous Waste Sites
AN  - 14796214; 10709981
AB  - The potential association between residence near hazardous waste sites and hospitalization rates for diabetes among adult residents of New York State was investigated. The number of hospitalized patient in 25-74 years of age diagnosed with diabetes in New York State exclusive of New York City for the years 1993-2000 were determined. After controlling for major confounders, a statistically significant increase in the rate of hospitalization for diabetes among the population residing in the ZIP codes containing toxic waste sites was found. Crude analysis showed an increased rate of inpatient hospital diagnosis of diabetes in individuals residing in persistent organic pollutant (POP) sites compared with clean sites. The results indicated that the rate of diabetes increased with age and was significantly higher among subjects residing in both POP and other sites compared to clean sites.

T1  - The Effects of Components of Fine Particulate Air Pollution on Mortality in California: Results from CALFINE
AN  - 14795937; 10709971
AB  - Effects of components of fine particulate air pollution on mortality in California were examined. Poisson regressions incorporating natural splines were used to control for time-varying covariates. Effect estimates were determined for each component in each country and then combined using a random-effects model. Stronger associations were observed between mortality and additional pollutant, including sulfates and several metals, during the cool season. The multicounty analysis added to the growing body of evidence linking PM sub(2.5) with mortality and indicated that excess risks might vary among specific PM sub(2.5) components. The use of regression coefficient based on PM sub(2.5) might underestimate association with some PM sub(2.5). The findings supported the hypothesis that combustion-associated pollutants were particularly important in California.

T1  - Nonenzymatic Functions of Acetylcholinesterase Splice Variants in the Developmental Neurotoxicity of Organophosphates: Chlorpyrifos, Chlorpyrifos Oxon, and Diazinon
AN  - 14794662; 10709979
AB  - The potential contribution of nonenzymatic function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) splice variant as a target for the developmental neurotoxicity of organophosphates (OPs) was evaluated. The chlorpyrifos (CPF) or diazinon (DZN) to neonatal rats on postnatal days 1-4 using daily dose spanning the threshold for AChE inhibition was administered. AChE gene expression in forebrain and brainstem on post-natal day-5 was also evaluated. The results indicated that nonenzymatic functions of AChE variants might participate in and be predictive of the relative development neurotoxicity of OPs. The treatment effect in the brainstem was not significantly different from those in the forebrain. The dissimilarities between CPF and CPO pointed to potential differences in the mechanisms underlying their actions on AChE catalytic activity versus gene expression.

T1  - Screening for Developmental Neurotoxicity Using PC12 Cells: Comparisons of Organophosphates with a Carbamate, an Organochlorine, and Divalent Nickel
AN  - 14794429; 10709984
AB  - Comparisons of organophosphates with a carbamate, an organochlorine, and divalent nickel were conducted. In undifferentiated cells, all the agents inhibited DNA synthesis, with the greatest effect for diazinon, but physostigmine eventually produced the largest deficits in the total number of cells after prolonged exposure. The onset of differentiation intensified the adverse effects on DNA synthesis and changed the rank order in keeping with a shift away from noncholinergic mechanisms and toward cholinergic mechanisms. Differentiation also worsened the effects of each agent on cell number after prolonged exposure, whereas cell growth was not suppressed, nor were there any effects on viability as assessed with trypan blue. All of the toxicants shifted the transmitter fate of the cells away from the cholinergic phenotype and toward the catecholaminergic phenotype.

T1  - Environmental Estrogens Induce Mast Cell Degranulation and Enhance IgE-Mediated Release of Allergic Mediators
AN  - 14794101; 10709976
AB  - To identify possible pathogenic roles for environmental estrogens in the development of allergic diseases, a study was conducted. A number of environmental estrogens for their ability to modulate the release of allergic mediators from mast cells were screened. The results suggested that estrogenic environmental pollutants might promote diseases by inducing and enhancing mast cell degranulation by physiologic estrogens and exposure to allergens. The results indicated that as the final consumers in the food chain, human infants might consume the highest concentrations of lipid-soluble environmental pollutants. The results indicated the possible impact of environmental estrogens on normal immune function and on the development and morbidity of immunologic diseases such as asthma.

T1  - Albumin Adducts of Electrophilic Benzene Metabolites in Benzene-Exposed and Control Workers
AN  - 14794100; 10709973
AB  - Albumin adducts of electrophilic benzene metabolites in benzene-exposed and control workers were measured. Second blood samples were obtained from a subset of exposed workers. Mixed-effects models were used to estimate within-person and between-person variance components of adduct levels. Adduct levels were significantly affected by the blood-collection medium, smoking, age, and blood mass index. Nonlinear exposure adduct relationships in log-scale were observed, with inflection points between about 0.5 and 5 ppm. The inflection points represented air concentrations at which benzene contributed marginally to background adduct derived from smoking and from dietary and endogenous sources. The results concluded that surprisingly large effect of the blood-collection medium on adduct levels, particularly those of the benzoquinones, should be further investigated.

T1  - Beyond Batteries: Portable Hydrogen Fuel Cells
AN  - 14794060; 10709968
AB  - Various issues related to the portable hydrogen fuel cells are discussed. Fuel cells do not discharge and degrade over time. A new rechargeable brick battery runs for about two hours, whereas N-Gen can last four to five hours before needing a refill of hydrogen. The N-Gen portable power system costs about one-third less than three brick batteries and a battery charger. The basic difference between a battery and a fuel cell is that a battery stores electrons, but the fuel cell makes electrons. With reduced use of fossil fuels and release of hazardous emissions, the widespread acceptance of fuel cells would bring benefits to the environment, energy security, and economic growth.

T1  - The Weight of Lead: Effects Add Up in Adults
AN  - 14793622; 10709967
AB  - Various issues related to the measurement of lead exposure and its health effects are discussed. Many epidemiological studies in human suggest that rising blood lead correlates with rising blood pressure. Epidemiological studies of the general population suggest that kidney function may be altered at the lowest levels of blood lead studied to date in relation to renal effects. Further research is needed to explore and understand the aspects of gene-environment interaction. Muntner says that more work is needed to find effective and safe interventions for lowering lead exposure at the population level for people whose blood lead concentrations are already below 10 mu g/dL.

T1  - Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether Levels in the Blood of Pregnant Women Living in an Agricultural Community in California
AN  - 14793245; 10709980
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) levels in the blood of pregnant women living in an agricultural community in California were investigated. The median concentration of the sum of the PBDE congeners was 21 ng/g lipid and ranged from 5.3 to 320 ng/g lipid. The results suggested that women of Mexican origin living in a California agricultural community were exposed to PBDEs. Preliminary analysis suggested that there were no clear associations of demographic characteristics including age, lactation, and parity with blood level pf PBDEs. PBDEs caused adverse developmental effects in animal experiments. Results concluded that further studies should determine the sources and pathways of PBDE exposure and whether these exposures had adverse impacts on human development.

T1  - Verticillium dahliae and Pratylenchus spp: populations in potato soils and plants in Australia
AN  - 1034827643; 17060737
AB  - The levels of Verticillium dahliae and Pratylenchus spp. were determined in soil and potato plants collected from 77 fields in potato-growing regions of Australia between 1996 and 1997. Verticillium dahliae was detected in soil from 81% of the fields and in plants at 80% of the fields. Densities in soil ranged from 1 to 19 colony forming units per gram of dry soil. Pratylenchus spp. were detected in soil from 87% of the fields and from potato roots at 92% of the fields. Pratylenchus crenatus and P. neglectus were detected in soil from 60 and 27% of fields, respectively, whereas P. coffeae was found in one field in New South Wales and P. penetrans in one field in New South Wales and another in South Australia. Nematode densities over all fields ranged from 1 to 19 nematodes per gram of dry soil. These results show that V. dahliae, P. crenatus and P. neglectus are widespread in potato soils throughout Australia and that V. dahliae densities are likely to be causing significant yield losses within the potato industry. Further research is required to determine the impact of Pratylenchus spp. on potato productivity in Australia.

T1  - Applied tracer tests in fractured rock: Can we predict natural gradient solute transport more accurately than fracture and matrix parameters?
AN  - 68195204; 16959371
AB  - Applied tracer tests provide a means to estimate aquifer parameters in fractured rock. The traditional approach to analysing these tests has been using a single fracture model to find the parameter values that generate the best fit to the measured breakthrough curve. In many cases, the ultimate aim is to predict solute transport under the natural gradient. Usually, no confidence limits are placed on parameter values and the impact of parameter errors on predictions of solute transport is not discussed. The assumption inherent in this approach is that the parameters determined under forced conditions will enable prediction of solute transport under the natural gradient. This paper considers the parameter and prediction uncertainty that might arise from analysis of breakthrough curves obtained from forced gradient applied tracer tests. By adding noise to an exact solution for transport in a single fracture in a porous matrix we create multiple realisations of an initial breakthrough curve. A least squares fitting routine is used to obtain a fit to each realisation, yielding a range of parameter values rather than a single set of absolute values. The suite of parameters is then used to make predictions of solute transport under lower hydraulic gradients and the uncertainty of estimated parameters and subsequent predictions of solute transport is compared. The results of this study show that predictions of breakthrough curve characteristics (first inflection point time, peak arrival time and peak concentration) for groundwater flow speeds with orders of magnitude smaller than that at which a test is conducted can sometimes be determined even more accurately than the fracture and matrix parameters.

T1  - The prevalence and risk behaviours associated with the transmission of blood-borne viruses among ethnic-Vietnamese injecting drug users.
AN  - 68281866; 17209266
AB  - To measure the prevalence and determinants of blood-borne virus (BBV) transmission in ethnic Vietnamese injecting drug users (IDUs).
          The study was conducted in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003. It was a cross-sectional design with participants recruited from street-based illicit drug markets predominately using a snowball technique. One hundred and twenty-seven participants completed a questionnaire that asked about illicit drug use and participants' blood samples were tested for HIV, HCV and HBV. One hundred and three (81.1%) ethnic Vietnamese IDU study participants were HCV positive and three (2.4%) were HIV positive. More than 60% had evidence of being infected with HBV (either in the past, acute infection or chronic infection). Almost 60% had injected daily over the past 12 months. Fifty-nine participants had recently travelled to Vietnam; 24 (41%) had injected drugs in Vietnam; and three (12.5%) reported sharing injecting equipment in Vietnam.
          The prevalence of BBVs was higher in this study's IDU population compared with IDUs in Australia generally, despite the fact that the injecting risk behaviours were similar to IDUs more generally. Culturally sensitive drug treatment and education programs need to be developed in Australia for both ethnic Vietnamese IDUs and their families to reduce this group's risk of contracting a BBV.

T1  - Profiling police investigative thinking: A study of police officers in Norway
AN  - 61639050; 200711758
AB  - This knowledge management study is concerned with how police detectives experience, understand, and think about the process of doing serious and complex criminal investigations. Detectives apply several investigative thinking styles, which are labeled method style, challenge style, skill style, and risk style, respectively. These four thinking styles are modeled in terms of maturity. Over time, it is assumed that detectives will apply higher-level styles such as skill style and risk style. This hypothesis was tested empirically in a survey of police officers in Norway. Support was found for the hypothesis. For example, more years as a detective is positively correlated with both the skill style and the risk style. [Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Why We Punish in the Name of Justice: Just Desert versus Value Restoration and the Role of Social Identity
AN  - 61637649; 200709837
AB  - Two different notions of justice might motivate people to demand punishment of an offender. The offense could be seen as lowering the victim's, and community's status/power position relative to the offender, requiring a degradation of the offender to restore a moral balance (just desert). Or, the offense could be seen as questioning community values, requiring a reaffirmation of those values through social consensus (value restoration). Two studies referring to tax evasion and social welfare fraud yielded supportive evidence. Just desert was related to traditional punishment, especially when participants did not identify with a relevant inclusive community (Australians). Value restoration was related to alternative (restorative) punishment, especially when community values were regarded as diverse and requiring consensualization. It tended to be related to traditional punishment when community values were regarded as clear and consensual. Adapted from the source document.

AN  - 61634822; 200710678
AB  - Indigenous sovereignty as an area of study is usually analysed by legal scholars and political theorists who locate it within a judicio-political framework. This article is offered as a work in progress to stimulate sociological thinking about Indigenous sovereignty in a different way. The article considers recent work in Whiteness studies in Australia and abroad, as well as literature using Foucault's idea of the relationship between race, sovereignty and war.

AN  - 57697205; 200807698
AB  - Looks at the history of public libraries and the services they have provided to the poor and the underserved through the years. Shortly after World War II, many developments came together to create a climate that fostered a fuller destiny for many Americans. Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Library Services Act, which provided federal funds for public libraries, thus raising the importance of reading, knowledge, and libraries from the local to the national agenda. Federal funds were allocated to public libraries, which culminated into the passage of the Library Services and Construction Act of 1964, and into the Library Services and Technology Act of 1996. In 1970, the American Library Association (ALA) Council voted to establish the Office for Library Service to the Disadvantaged. Two years later, the Coordinating Committee for Library Service to the Disadvantaged became the advisory committee to the office. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Recommendations for urgently needed improvement of OPAC and the role of the national bibliographic agency in achieving it.
AN  - 57694141; 00493534
AB  - Today's information seekers have been conditioned by Web search engines to expect immediate gratification as the result of user-friendly Web experiences, in contrast, it is increasingly apparent that traditional library OPACs do not provide the same ease of use or access to information. National bibliographic agencies (NBAs) and libraries in general need to respond to this discrepancy by initiating measures to enrich their databases and bibliographic products with much more information than is currently captured in records for resources. At the same time, they must address the need for a new generation of OPACs that offers significantly enhanced functionality, much of which can be based on standard features of Web search engines and online bookstores. In view of alternatives available to information seekers, these needs require immediate attention if libraries are to retain the support of satisfied users into the 21st century. This paper offers specific recommendations to assist them in identifying and implementing appropriate responses. (Author abstract)

The first stage of research sought to explore the experiences of mothers & fathers in the early postnatal period by conducting a questionnaire within 4 weeks of the birth of their baby. The data obtained from the questionnaire is to inform an action-research group for stage two of the project. Setting: The Children, Youth & Women's Health Service, a large city maternity hospital in South Australia, covering a range of socio-economic strata. Participants: 85 parents completed & returned the questionnaire, comprising 52 mothers & 33 fathers. Measurement: an anonymous self-report questionnaire was purpose designed to provide each parent with an opportunity to reflect on their own experience, with particular emphasis given to the provision of education & support during the early postnatal period. Findings: a number of themes emerged, including a window of opportunity during the postnatal hospital stay to provide education & support, despite the reduction in the length of stay; the need for a family-centred approach to maternity services; & the significance of self & social network in the early transition to parenthood. Conclusions: The findings from this stage of the research, combined with a review of the literature, provide insight that will contribute to stage two of the study. At this stage, an action-research group will continue planning to develop specific actions to enhance the provision of education to parents in the early postnatal period. These actions will subsequently be implemented & assessed. [Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Unidentified Inert Ingredients in Pesticides: Implications for Human and Environmental Health
AN  - 21196328; 11543793
AB  - BACKGROUND: By statute or regulation in the United States and elsewhere, pesticide ingredients are divided into two categories: active and inert (sometimes referred to as other ingredients, adjuvants, or coformulants). Despite their name, inert ingredients may be biologically or chemically active and are labeled inert only because of their function in the formulated product. Most of the tests required to register a pesticide are performed with the active ingredient alone, not the full pesticide formulation. Inert ingredients are generally not identified on product labels and are often claimed to be confidential business information. OBJECTIVES: In this commentary, we describe the shortcomings of the current procedures for assessing the hazards of pesticide formulations and demonstrate that inert ingredients can increase the toxicity of and potential exposure to pesticide formulations. DISCUSSION: Inert ingredients can increase the ability of pesticide formulations to affect significant toxicologic end points, including developmental neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, and disruption of hormone function. They can also increase exposure by increasing dermal absorption, decreasing the efficacy of protective clothing, and increasing environmental mobility and persistence. Inert ingredients can increase the phytotoxicity of pesticide formulations as well as the toxicity to fish, amphibians, and microorganisms. CONCLUSIONS: Pesticide registration should require full assessment of formulations. Evaluations of pesticides under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, and similar statutes should include impact assessment of formulations. Environmental monitoring for pesticides should include inert ingredients. To enable independent research and risk assessment, inert ingredients should be identified on product labels.

T1  - Obstructing Authority: Does the EPA Have the Power to Ensure Commercial Chemicals Are Safe?
AN  - 21196318; 11543791
AB  - Thirty years ago the U.S. government had virtually no way of knowing what chemicals were imported, manufactured, used, or released into the environment, and no way of regulating these chemicals before they appeared on the market. That changed when Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act in 1976. Today, however, observers are asking whether the act has lived up to its initial promise and what powers the EPA actually has with regard to chemical regulation-questions Congress asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate. August 2006 testimony on the GAO's findings reveals that experts are divided over the answers.

T1  - Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus and Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Residential Indoor Bioaerosols
AN  - 21196302; 11543782
AB  - OBJECTIVE: In this study we evaluated the levels of Staphylococcus aureus and antibiotic-resistant S. aureus in colony-forming units (CFU) per cubic meter of air. DESIGN: We used Andersen two-stage samplers to collect bioaerosol samples from 24 houses in El Paso, Texas, using tryptic soy agar as the collection media, followed by the replicate plate method on Chapman Stone selective medium to isolate S. aureus. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to determine antibiotic resistance to ampicillin, penicillin, and cefaclor, which represent two distinct classes of antibiotics. RESULTS: The average recovered concentration of respirable heterotrophic organisms found outside each home was 345.38 CFU/m3, with an average of 12.63 CFU/m3 for S. aureus. The average recovered concentration of respirable heterotrophic organisms found inside each home was 460.23 CFU/m3, with an average of 15.39 CFU/m3 for S. aureus. The respirable S. aureus recovered from inside each home had an average resistance of 54.59% to ampicillin and 60.46% to penicillin. Presence of cefaclor-resistant and of multidrug-resistant S. aureus was the same, averaging 13.20% per house. The respirable S. aureus recovered from outside each home had an average resistance of 34.42% to ampicillin and 41.81% to penicillin. Presence of cefaclor-resistant and of multidrug-resistant S. aureus was the same, averaging 13.96% per house. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that antibiotic-resistant bioaerosols are commonly found within residential homes. Our results also suggest that resistant strains of airborne culturable S. aureus are present in higher concentrations inside the study homes than outside the homes.

T1  - Fluid Movement
AN  - 21195313; 11543792
AB  - Microfluidics is an emerging field that involves the design, manufacture, and formulation of devices that deal with volumes of fluid on the order of nanoliters or picoliters. Now a new technology called discrete magnetic microfluidics promises dramatic cost reductions and increases in speed and accuracy of analyzing microamounts of fluids such as water, blood, bacterial cell suspensions, and protein or antibody solutions. Scientists at Arizona State University have developed a unique superhydrophobic surface that helps prevent sample contamination, one of the primary challenges in microfluidics. These developments allow for the use of portable "lap on a chip" technology in applications ranging from environmental remediation to medicine.

T1  - Signs of the Times: Biomarkers in Perspective
AN  - 21193470; 11543790
AB  - As the health sciences move closer toward understanding why some people seem particularly vulnerable to environmental toxicants, one group of tools has emerged as especially important: biomarkers. Scientists rely on biomarkers to track each phase of the dose-response continuum, from exposure through effect, and since their discovery in the last few decades, these tools have become an integral part of environmental health research. Although many resources have been allocated to the search for more biomarkers, the task has been slow and often frustrating, even as the advent of genomics and related fields has dramatically accelerated this effort.

T1  - National Assessment of Human Health Effects of Climate Change in Portugal: Approach and Key Findings
AN  - 21179245; 11543770
AB  - In this study we investigated the potential impact of climate change in Portugal on heat-related mortality, air pollution-related health effects, and selected vectorborne diseases. The assessment used climate scenarios from two regional climate models for a range of future time periods. The annual heat-related death rates in Lisbon may increase from between 5.4 and 6 per 100,000 in 1980-1998 to between 8.5 and 12.1 by the 2020s and to a maximum of 29.5 by the 2050s, if no adaptations occur. The projected warmer and more variable weather may result in better dispersion of nitrogen dioxide levels in winter, whereas the higher temperatures may reduce air quality during the warmer months by increasing tropospheric ozone levels. We estimated the future risk of zoonoses using ecologic scenarios to describe future changes in vectors and parasites. Malaria and schistosomiasis, which are currently not endemic in Portugal, are more sensitive to the introduction of infected vectors than to temperature changes. Higher temperatures may increase the transmission risk of zoonoses that are currently endemic to Portugal, such as leishmaniasis, Lyme disease, and Mediterranean spotted fever.

T1  - In Vivo Assessment of Arsenic Bioavailability in Rice and Its Significance for Human Health Risk Assessment
AN  - 21172468; 11543797
AB  - BACKGROUND: Millions of people worldwide consume arsenic-contaminated rice; however, little is known about the uptake and bioavailability of arsenic species after arsenic-contaminated rice ingestion. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we assessed arsenic speciation in greenhouse-grown and supermarket-bought rice, and determined arsenic bioavailability in cooked rice using an in vivo swine model. RESULTS: In supermarket-bought rice, arsenic was present entirely in the inorganic form compared to greenhouse-grown rice (using irrigation water contaminated with sodium arsenate), where most (approximately 86%) arsenic was present as dimethylarsinic acid (organic arsenic). Because of the low absolute bioavailability of dimethylarsinic acid and the high proportion of dimethylarsinic acid in greenhouse-grown rice, only 33 +/- 3% (mean +/- SD) of the total rice-bound arsenic was bioavailable. Conversely, in supermarket-bought rice cooked in water contaminated with sodium arsenate, arsenic was present entirely in the inorganic form, and bioavailability was high (89 +/- 9%). CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that arsenic bioavailability in rice is highly dependent on arsenic speciation, which in turn can vary depending on rice cultivar, arsenic in irrigation water, and the presence and nature of arsenic speciation in cooking water. Arsenic speciation and bioavailability are therefore critical parameters for reducing uncertainties when estimating exposure from the consumption of rice grown and cooked using arsenic-contaminated water.

T1  - The Tobacco Industry's Role in the 16 Cities Study of Secondhand Tobacco Smoke: Do the Data Support the Stated Conclusions?
AN  - 21172437; 11543777
AB  - BACKGROUND: Since 1996, the tobacco industry has used the 16 Cities Study conclusions that workplace secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposures are lower than home exposures to argue that workplace and other smoking restrictions are unnecessary. OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to determine the origins and objectives of the 16 Cities Study through analysis of internal tobacco industry documents and regulatory agency and court records, and to evaluate the validity of the study's conclusions. RESULTS: The tobacco industry's purpose in conducting the 16 Cities Study was to develop data showing that workplace SHS exposures were negligible, using these data to stop smoking restrictions by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The extensive involvement of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and the tobacco industry's Center for Indoor Air Research in controlling the study was not fully disclosed. The study's definition of "smoking workplace" included workplaces where smoking was restricted to designated areas or where no smoking was observed. This definition substantially reduced the study's reported average SHS concentrations in "smoking workplaces" because SHS levels in unrestricted smoking workplaces are much greater than in workplaces with designated smoking areas or where no smoking occurred. Stratifying the data by home smoking status and comparing exposures by workplace smoking status, however, indicates that smoke-free workplaces would halve the total SHS exposure of those living with smokers and virtually eliminate SHS exposure for most others. CONCLUSIONS: Data in the 16 Cities Study reveal that smoke-free workplaces would dramatically reduce total SHS exposure, providing significant worker and public health benefits.

T1  - Workgroup Report: Public Health Strategies for Reducing Aflatoxin Exposure in Developing Countries
AN  - 21172403; 11543776
AB  - Consecutive outbreaks of acute aflatoxicosis in Kenya in 2004 and 2005 caused 150 deaths. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization convened a workgroup of international experts and health officials in Geneva, Switzerland, in July 2005. After discussions concerning what is known about aflatoxins, the workgroup identified gaps in current knowledge about acute and chronic human health effects of aflatoxins, surveillance and food monitoring, analytic methods, and the efficacy of intervention strategies. The workgroup also identified public health strategies that could be integrated with current agricultural approaches to resolve gaps in current knowledge and ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food in the developing world. Four issues that warrant immediate attention were identified: a) quantify the human health impacts and the burden of disease due to aflatoxin exposure; b) compile an inventory, evaluate the efficacy, and disseminate results of ongoing intervention strategies; c) develop and augment the disease surveillance, food monitoring, laboratory, and public health response capacity of affected regions; and d) develop a response protocol that can be used in the event of an outbreak of acute aflatoxicosis. This report expands on the workgroup's discussions concerning aflatoxin in developing countries and summarizes the findings.

T1  - Exposures to Environmental Toxicants and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in U.S. Children
AN  - 21171390; 11543763
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of exposures to tobacco smoke and environmental lead with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002. Prenatal and postnatal tobacco exposure was based on parent report; lead exposure was measured using blood lead concentration. ADHD was defined as having current stimulant medication use and parent report of ADHD diagnosed by a doctor or health professional. RESULTS: Of 4,704 children 4-15 years of age, 4.2% were reported to have ADHD and stimulant medication use, equivalent to 1.8 million children in the United States. In multivariable analysis, prenatal tobacco exposure [odds ratio (OR) = 2.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.2-5.2] and higher blood lead concentration (first vs. fifth quintile, OR = 4.1; 95% CI, 1.2-14.0) were significantly associated with ADHD. Postnatal tobacco smoke exposure was not associated with ADHD (OR = 0.6; 95% CI, 0.3-1.3; p = 0.22). If causally linked, these data suggest that prenatal tobacco exposure accounts for 270,000 excess cases of ADHD, and lead exposure accounts for 290,000 excess cases of ADHD in U.S. children. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that exposure to prenatal tobacco and environmental lead are risk factors for ADHD in U.S. children.

AB  - The health of a nation could be said to depend upon the public health expertise of its scientists. In the United States and other developed areas of the world, it can be fairly simple to gain access to a variety of useful public health resources. But populations living in lessdeveloped areas of the world often lack such knowledge and public health access. In 1987, two young scientists, William Au of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and Wagida Anwar of Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, decided to seek ways to raise the level of access to information and technical expertise regarding environmental health disparities in lessdeveloped regions.

T1  - Environmental Justice and the NIEHS
AN  - 21140616; 11543809
AB  - The NIEHS relationship with the environmental justice community is much like that of a family-we have a long history, we are integrally connected, and unfortunately, we don't always communicate well. I recently met with our environmental justice grantees, and during our conversations, I realized that my own failure to communicate in the accepted terminology of the environmental justice community may have led to a misunderstanding of my commitment to these issues. The failure was unintentional; embracing diversity is such an inherent part of my own life that I may have taken for granted that my commitment to this principle would be obvious. Diversity in my own family has created depth, strength, and opportunity, and I feel the same is true of the environmental justice community's interconnectedness with the NIEHS. Nevertheless, I now know it is incumbent on me to clearly describe my views regarding environmental justice and explicitly state how we, as an institute, plan to move forward in this relationship.

T1  - Elevation of Cellular BPDE Uptake by Human Cells: A Possible Factor Contributing to Co-Carcinogenicity by Arsenite
AN  - 21140601; 11543785
AB  - BACKGROUND: Arsenite (iAsIII) can promote mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of other carcinogens. Considerable attention has focused on interference with DNA repair by inorganic arsenic, especially the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, whereas less is known about the effect of arsenic on the induction of DNA damage by other agents. OBJECTIVES: We examined how arsenic modulates DNA damage by other chemicals. METHODS: We used an NER-deficient cell line to dissect DNA damage induction from DNA repair and to examine the effects of iAsIII on the formation of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts. RESULTS: We found that pretreatment with iAsIII at subtoxic concentrations (10 microM) led to enhanced formation of BPDE-DNA adducts. Reduced glutathione levels, glutathione S-transferase activity and chromatin accessibility were also measured after iAsIII treatment, but none of these factors appeared to account for the enhanced formation of DNA adducts. However, we found that pretreatment with iAsIII increased the cellular uptake of BPDE in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that iAsIII enhanced the formation of BPDE-DNA adducts by increasing the cellular uptake of BPDE. Therefore, the ability of arsenic to increase the bioavailability of other carcinogens may contribute to arsenic co-carcinogenicity.

T1  - Using Supervised Principal Components Analysis to Assess Multiple Pollutant Effects
AN  - 21140593; 11543779
AB  - BACKGROUND: Many investigations of the adverse health effects of multiple air pollutants analyze the time series involved by simultaneously entering the multiple pollutants into a Poisson log-linear model. This method can yield unstable parameter estimates when the pollutants involved suffer high intercorrelation; therefore, traditional approaches to dealing with multicollinearity, such as principal component analysis (PCA), have been promoted in this context. OBJECTIVES: A characteristic of PCA is that its construction does not consider the relationship between the covariates and the adverse health outcomes. A refined version of PCA, supervised principal components analysis (SPCA), is proposed that specifically addresses this issue. METHODS: Models controlling for longterm trends and weather effects were used in conjunction with each SPCA and PCA to estimate the association between multiple air pollutants and mortality for U.S. cities. The methods were compared further via a simulation study. RESULTS: Simulation studies demonstrated that SPCA, unlike PCA, was successful in identifying the correct subset of multiple pollutants associated with mortality. Because of this property, SPCA and PCA returned different estimates for the relationship between air pollution and mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Although a number of methods for assessing the effects of multiple pollutants have been proposed, such methods can falter in the presence of high correlation among pollutants. Both PCA and SPCA address this issue. By allowing the exclusion of pollutants that are not associated with the adverse health outcomes from the mixture of pollutants selected, SPCA offers a critical improvement over PCA.

T1  - Molecular genetic characterization of the Lr34/Yr18 slow rusting resistance gene region in wheat
AN  - 20975063; 7300426
AB  - Wheat expressed sequence tags (wESTs) were identified in a genomic interval predicted to span the Lr34/Yr18 slow rusting region on chromosome 7DS and that corresponded to genes located in the syntenic region of rice chromosome 6 (between 2.02 and 2.38 Mb). A subset of the wESTs was also used to identify corresponding bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones from the diploid D genome of wheat (Aegilops tauschii). Conservation and deviation of micro-colinearity within blocks of genes were found in the D genome BACs relative to the orthologous sequences in rice. Extensive RFLP analysis using the wEST derived clones as probes on a panel of wheat genetic stocks with or without Lr34/Yr18 revealed monomorphic patterns as the norm in this region of the wheat genome. A similar pattern was observed with single nucleotide polymorphism analysis on a subset of the wEST derived clones and subclones from corresponding D genome BACs. One exception was a wEST derived clone that produced a consistent RFLP pattern that distinguished the Lr34/Yr18 genetic stocks and well-established cultivars known either to possess or lack Lr34/Yr18. Conversion of the RFLP to a codominant sequence tagged site (csLV34) revealed a bi-allelic locus, where a variant size of 79 bp insertion in an intron sequence was associated with lines or cultivars that lacked Lr34/Yr18. This association with Lr34/Yr18 was validated in wheat cultivars from diverse backgrounds. Genetic linkage between csLV34 and Lr34/Yr18 was estimated at 0.4 cM

T1  - Novel partial nitritation treatment for anaerobic digestion liquor of swine wastewater using swim-bed technology
AN  - 20720715; 7338990
AB  - A swim-bed reactor using the biofringe acryl-fiber biomass carrier was used for partial nitritation treatment for anaerobic digestion liquor of swine wastewater. The sludge in the reactor demonstrated excellent settling properties, and the sludge volumetric index (SVI) was always about 50 ml g1. The mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration was maintained above 10,000 mg l1 with a maximum of 16,800 mg l1. Satisfactory and stable partial nitritation was obtained at a nitrogen loading rate (NLR) of 1.9 kg-N m3 d1 without any operational control. Only a little nitrate was produced almost during the whole operational period and the nitrite to total oxidized nitrogen ratio (NO2-N/(NO2-N+NO3-N)) was always above 95%. In addition, the influence of temperature on partial nitritation efficiencies was also investigated and non-controlled efficiencies were maintained stably between 15°C and 30°C at an NLR of 1.9 kg-N m3 d1, but suddenly deteriorated when the temperature fell below 15°C. Nitrite oxidizing bacteria were inhibited by free ammonia and free nitric acid, which prevented the conversion of nitrite to nitrate and the inhibition due to free nitric acid weaken with a decrease in temperature. It was apparent that these phenomena were crucial to the control of partial nitritation treatment.

T1  - The improvement in fertilizing ability of cryopreserved mouse spermatozoa using laser-microdissected oocytes
AN  - 20699340; 7221984
AB  - Aim:The C57BL/6 mouse strain is now commonly used for producing transgenic/knockout strains. However, the fertilizing ability of these spermatozoa decreases as a result of cryopreservaion. Although the micromanipulation technique has been established to increase their fertilizing ability, it requires a considerable degree of technical skill. In the present report, we investigate the simple microdissection of zona pellucida by laser to increase the fertilizing ability of cryopreserved spermatozoa. Methods:C57BL/6J spermatozoa were cryopreserved using a solution consisting of 18% raffinose/3% skim milk. Oocytes of the same strain were placed in PB1 medium containing 0, 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75 mol sucrose. The zona pellucida of oocytes was microdissected by laser with different pulse lengths selected from 0.45 to 0.65 ms. Microdissected oocytes were then fertilized with cryopreserved spermatozoa, and the subsequent development of embryos was assessed. Results:When oocytes were microdissected in PB1 medium without sucrose, 81.5% of the oocytes were fertilized. The fertilization rates increased significantly as the pulse length was lengthened when compared with oocytes with intact zona pellucida. Furthermore, normal offspring were obtained in all experiments. Conclusion:The fertilizing ability of cryopreserved spermatozoa is improved when oocytes with their zona pellucida microdissected by laser were used. (Reprod Med Biol 2006; 5: 249-253)

T1  - Upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the sensory pathway by selective motor nerve injury in adult rats
AN  - 20191267; 10263261
AB  - Selective motor nerve injury by lumbar 5 ventral root transection (L5 VRT) induces neuropathic pain, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Previously, increased expression and secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) had been implicated in injury-induced neuropathic pain in the sensory system. In this study, as a step to examine potential roles of BDNF in L5 VRT-induced neuropathic pain, we investigated BDNF gene and protein expression in adult rats with L5 VRT. L5 VRT induced a dramatic upregulation of BDNF mRNA in intact sensory neurons in the ipsilateral L5 dorsal root ganglia (DRG), in non-neuronal cells in the ipsilateral sciatic nerve, and in motoneurons in the ipsilateral spinal cord. L5 VRT also inducedde novo synthesis of BDNF mRNA in spinal dorsal horn neurons and in glial cells in the white matter of the ipsilateral spinal cord. Consistent with the mRNA expression pattern, BDNF protein was also mainly upregulated in all populations of sensory neurons in the ipsilateral L5 DRG and in spinal neurons and glia. Quantitative analysis by ELISA showed that the BDNF content in the DRG and sciatic nerve peaked on day 1 and remained elevated 14 days after L5 VRT. These results suggest that increased BDNF expression in intact primary sensory neurons and spinal cord may be an important factor in the induction of neuropathic pain without axotomy of sensory neurons.

T1  - Microbial diversity of mesophilic methanogenic consortium that can degrade long-chain fatty acids in chemostat cultivation
AN  - 19971116; 7338995
AB  - We established a chemostat cultivation method for a mesophilic methanogenic consortium that could degrade long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) using a completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) fed with synthetic wastewater containing oleic and palmitic acids as the carbon and energy sources. The critical dilution rate of the chemostat, in which most of the introduced LCFA were decomposed and mineralized, was 0.4 d1. The microbial community under steady-state condition at this dilution rate was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We detected the following major groups of methanogens within the archaeal community: the aceticlastic genera Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina and the hydrogenotrophic genus Methanospirillum. We also detected organisms that were closely related to fatty-acid oxidizing bacteria affiliated with the family Syntrophomonadaceae. However, bacteria belonging to the phyla Bacteroidetes and Spirochaetes, which are phylogenetically distant from known fatty-acid oxidizing bacteria, apparently predominated in the population, indicating that they play important roles in LCFA degradation within the chemostat.

T1  - Extending MapMan: application to legume genome arrays
AN  - 19837594; 7191971
AB  - MOTIVATION: Based on a gene classification into hierarchical categories ('BINs'), MapMan was originally developed to display Arabidopsis thaliana gene expression in a functional context. We have created a bioinformatics system to extend MapMan to any organism by using a new BIN structure based on the KEGG database. Gene sequences are assigned to this ontology by homology relationships in four reference databases: KEGG, COG, Swiss-Prot and Gene Ontology. We applied this system to tailor MapMan to the GeneChips of two model legumes, Glycine max and Medicago truncatula. We also developed a module to identify the most relevant pathways involved. AVAILABILITY: All mapping files, pathway pictures and the analysis method are available at http://bioinfoserver.rsbs.anu.edu.au/ CONTACT: georg.weillernu.edu.au

T1  - Quantifying uncertainty in predictions of invasiveness, with emphasis on weed risk assessment
AN  - 19609428; 7317646
AB  - Using the Australian Weed Risk Assessment (WRA) model as an example, we applied a combination of bootstrapping and Bayesian techniques as a means of explicitly estimating the posterior probability of weediness as a function of an import risk assessment model screening score. Our approach provides estimates of uncertainty around model predictions, after correcting for verification bias arising from the original training dataset having a higher proportion of weed species than would be the norm, and incorporates uncertainty in current knowledge of the prior (base-rate) probability of weediness. The results confirm the high sensitivity of the posterior probability of weediness to the base-rate probability of weediness of plants proposed for importation, and demonstrate how uncertainty in this base-rate probability manifests itself in uncertainty surrounding predicted probabilities of weediness. This quantitative estimate of the weediness probability posed by taxa classified using the WRA model, including estimates of uncertainty around this probability for a given WRA score, would enable bio-economic modelling to contribute to the decision process, should this avenue be pursued. Regardless of whether or not this avenue is explored, the explicit estimates of uncertainty around weed classifications will enable managers to make better informed decisions regarding risk. When viewed in terms of likelihood of weed introduction, the current WRA model outcomes of 'accept', 'further evaluate' or 'reject', whilst not always accurate in terms of weed classification, appear consistent with a high-expected cost of mistakenly introducing a weed. The methods presented have wider application to the quantitative prediction of invasive species for situations where the base-rate probability of invasiveness is subject to uncertainty, and the accuracy of the screening test imperfect.

T1  - Vertical migration of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum under different concentrations of nutrients and humic substances in culture
AN  - 19579181; 7135222
AB  - Vertical migration behaviour by the chainforming dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum Graham was investigated using vertically-stratified laboratory columns. Under surface nutrient-deplete conditions, with nutrients added only at depth, 100% of cells underwent vertical migration (VM), starting downwards migration 3 h before the end of the light period and beginning upwards migration 3 h before the start of the light period. Cells in nutrient-replete columns showed no VM, but they were more dispersed in the upper layer during the dark compared to the light period. When surface layers (S) were nitrate-deplete (-N) and enriched with humic substances (H) contained in Huon River water and bottom waters (B) were nutrient replete (R) (SH sub(-N)B sub(R)), the pattern of VM was altered - 50% of cells underwent migration and 50% remained at the pycnocline. In columns with nitrate-replete and humic-enriched surface layers (SH sub(R)B sub(R)), most cells underwent VM, while 30% remained at the surface. Cells in SH sub(-N)B sub(R) columns showed increased N quotas and intra-cellular nitrate concentrations after 4 days, indicating nitrate uptake by G. catenatum in bottom layers. The concomitant increase in particulate organic nitrogen (PON) with the decrease in external nitrate concentrations in bottom layers provide convincing evidence that VM by G. catenatum facilitates nutrient retrieval at depth. However, addition of humic substances (a potential source of organic nitrogen) to surface layers did not ameliorate G. catenatum N depletion sufficiently to preclude the need for NO sub(3) super(-) uptake at depth. Furthermore, there was no detectable pattern of increasing carbon (C) quota during the day (photosynthate accumulation) or increasing N quota during the night (nitrate assimilation). Toxic dinoflagellate G. catenatum blooms are commonly associated with nitrate depletion in surface waters in south-east Tasmanian waters (Australia). Therefore, vertical migration, facilitating N uptake at depth, could play an important role in this organisms ecological strategy, enabling it to exploit environments where light and nutrients are vertically separated.

T1  - Dynamic matching of forager size to resources in the continuously polymorphic leaf-cutter ant, Atta colombica (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
AN  - 19566144; 7226220
AB  - 1. Ergonomic optimisation theory proposes that by increasing variation in worker morphology, social insect colonies may increase their dietary breadth; however, little is known about how this relationship operates at the colony level. This study examines the colony-level pattern of forager size allocation to resource sites in a natural setting. 2. Using a biologically relevant measure of toughness, it is shown that leaf-cutter ant colonies exploit a variety of plant resources that vary significantly in toughness at any given time. 3. Forager size is shown to be matched to the toughness of plant material, with larger ants harvesting tougher material. 4. Furthermore, outbound foragers travelling to a harvest site are matched in size to the toughness of plant material contained within the site and are not a random selection of available foragers. The match between forager size and plant toughness may reduce the number of wasted trips and ill-matched foragers. 5. The observed colony-level pattern of forager allocation could be the result of learning by individual foragers, or the result of information shared at the colony level.

T1  - PRIMER NOTE: Incorporating historical museum specimens into molecular systematic and conservation genetics research
AN  - 19557293; 7220008
AB  - We successfully amplified mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellites from historical museum specimens of lizards and frogs dating from 1894 through to 1998. Ancient DNA techniques were used to extract whole genomic DNA from a number of different tissues, including liver, leg muscle and toe clips, followed by standard polymerase chain reaction techniques for amplification. We had a 78% success rate amplifying mtDNA from 14 museum specimens and a 57% success rate amplifying microsatellite markers for seven museum specimens. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating historical museum specimens into molecular systematic and conservation genetic studies.

T1  - Effective Recruitment and Retention of Older Adults in Physical Activity Research: PALS Study
AN  - 19553916; 7265927
AB  - Objectives: To develop strategies to recruit and retain inactive older adults into a physical activity program. Methods: Names of 7378 older adults were obtained from 60 neighborhoods. Then, 6401 potential subjects were matched to telephone numbers and phoned. Subjects meeting the screening criteria were invited to join the program (n = 4209). Walk leaders and social support were used to enhance retention. Results: Five hundred seventy-three subjects were recruited (260 intervention and 313 control). The respective participation rate was 12.6% (260/2056) and 14.5% (313/2153), with low attrition of 31.9% (83/260) and 24.6% (77/313). Conclusion: Effective recruitment and retention strategies were identified.

T1  - PRIMER NOTE: Isolation and characterization of the first microsatellite loci from the order Psocoptera in the economically important pest insect Liposcelis decolor (Pearman) and cross-species amplification
AN  - 19552391; 7220013
AB  - A total of 11 microsatellite loci from the invasive insect pest Liposcelis decolor were isolated and characterized of which six loci were polymorphic. A population survey involving a total of 30-192 individuals per locus from five populations revealed a range of four to seven alleles per locus and moderate observed heterozygosities (0.183-0.565), highlighting the utility of these loci in further population genetic studies. Cross-species amplifications were successful for two to 11 loci in five other Liposcelis species also of international economic importance.

T1  - Does variation in garden characteristics influence the conservation of birds in suburbia?
AN  - 19527962; 7249383
AB  - Can enhancement of garden habitat for native birds have conservation benefits, or are garden bird assemblages determined by landscape and environmental characteristics? The relative roles of vegetation structure, floristics and other garden attributes, and environmental and landscape controls, on the abundance and richness of bird species in 214 back or front gardens in 10 suburbs of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, are addressed to answer this question. Birds were counted in each garden and the resources they utilized noted. Vascular plant species and other attributes of the garden were noted, along with rainfall, altitude, distance from natural vegetation, distance from the city and garden size. Garden floristics and bird assemblages were ordinated, and garden groups characterized by particular assemblages of birds identified. General linear modelling was used to determine the combinations of independent variables that best predicted the richness of birds and the abundance of individual bird species and groups of species. The models for bird richness, bird species and groups of bird species were highly individualistic. Although native birds showed a preference for native plants, they also utilized many exotic plants. Exotic birds largely utilized exotic plants. Variation in garden characteristics does substantially affect the nature of garden bird assemblages in Hobart, with weaker environmental and landscape influences. The fact that gardens can be designed and managed to favour particular species and species assemblages gives gardeners a potentially substantial role in the conservation of urban native avifauna.

T1  - Transferring environmental value estimates: Issues and alternatives
AN  - 19348119; 7108681
AB  - Environmental value transfer needs to be understood in the context of scientific information use in general. This provides a different perspective upon the reasons why benefit transfer in particular appears so controversial and raises concerns over the limited types of validity testing being undertaken by those supporting such applications as ecosystem services valuation. Another key issue, which we emphasise, is the unintentional challenge to standard economic theory raised by the models used to conduct value transfers. Existing value transfer practice reveals the need for a more inclusive approach if environmental values are to be addressed. We argue that there are robust alternative means for including multiple environmental values in decision processes, these cannot be dismissed out of hand, and analysts should be expanding their understanding of the available approaches which include attitude and norm measures, multi-criteria analysis and participatory deliberative institutions.

T1  - Genetic variation and population structure of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum in Australia
AN  - 1780514482; PQ0002830616
AB  - Genetic variation among 348 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum (Fov) collected from diseased cotton plants in 31 fields in six cotton-growing regions in New South Wales and Queensland in 2002 and 2004 was analysed using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). Twenty-eight haplotypes were identified based on 146 polymorphic bands generated with four EcoRI and MseI and four HindIII and MseI primer combinations. The haplotypes separated into two distinct groups (37% similarity), with 21 in group I and seven in group II. The two unique vegetative compatibility groups of Fov known to occur in Australia (VCG 01111 and VCG 01112) were correlated to the two AFLP groups, with both VCG 01111 reference isolates being included in group I and both VCG 01112 reference isolates in group II. Group I was widespread, occurring in all regions sampled and all but one of the fields, while group II was limited to three fields in the Boggabilla region. Group I was further divided into two subgroups. The two haplotypes in subgroup I-B (I-20 and I-21) may represent the emergence of a new form of Fov based on their marked genetic discrimination from the subgroup I-A haplotypes. No spatial population differentiation was discernible at the national level, as only 3.9% of total genetic variation was attributed to differences among regions (P = 0.4868). When each region was analysed separately, clear differentiation was found in the Boggabilla region, with 86.3% of total genetic variation resulting from differences among fields (P < 0.0001).

T1  - Dog Ownership Enhances Symptomatic Responses to Air Pollution in Children with Asthma
AN  - 14793971; 10708747
AB  - To evaluate whether the association of exposure to air pollution with annual prevalence of chronic cough, phlegm production, or bronchitis was modified by dog and cat ownership, a study was conducted. Multivariate models were used to examine the effect of yearly variation of each pollutant. Effects were scaled to the variability that was common for each pollutant in representative communities in Southern California. Among children owning a dog, there were strong associations between bronchitic symptoms and all pollutants examined. Effects were somewhat larger among children who owned both a cat and dog. The results suggested that dog ownership, a source of residential exposure to endotoxin, might worsen the relationship between air pollution and respiratory symptoms in asthmatic children.

T1  - Global Environmental Change: What Can Health Care Providers and the Environmental Health Community Do About it Now?
AN  - 14793913; 10708733
AB  - Various aspects related to the global environmental change and what can health care providers and the environmental health community do about it now are discussed. Various professional organizations are called upon to assist in educating their members about the issues, in helping clinicians practice behavior change with their patients, and in adding their voices to the issue in the statehouses and Congress. The development of carbon- and other environmental-labeling of consumer products so individuals can make informed choices is considered. The environmental health community is urged to take up the challenge of developing a global environmental health index that would incorporate human health to available planetary health metrices and that can be used as a policy tool to evaluate the impact of interventions and document spatial and temporal shifts in the healthfulness of local areas.

T1  - The World Trade Center Disaster and the Health of Workers: Five-Year Assessment of a Unique Medical Screening Program
AN  - 14793460; 10708741
AB  - Various aspects related to the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster and the health of workers are discussed. Approximately 40,000 rescue and recovery workers are exposed to caustic dust and toxic pollutants following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the WTC. These workers include traditional first responders, such as firefighters and police, and a diverse population of construction, utility, and public sector workers. To characterize WTC-related health effects, the WTC Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening Program are established. This multicenter clinical program provides free standardized examinations to responders. Of 9,442 responders examined between July 2002 and April 2004, 69% reported new or worsened respiratory symptoms while performing WTC work.

T1  - Early Environmental Exposures and Intracellular Th1/Th2 Cytokine Profiles in 24-Month-Old Children Living in an Agricultural Area
AN  - 14793389; 10708748
AB  - Relationship between the early environmental exposures and intracellular T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 2 (Th2) cytokine profiles in 24-month-old children living in an agricultural area was examined. Mean Th2 levels were significantly higher in children with doctor-diagnosed asthma and children with wheezing at 2 years of age. In a multiple linear regression model, exclusive breast-feeding at 1 month and pet ownership were associated with 35.3% and 34.5% increases in Th1, respectively. Asthma and wheeze outcomes in children at 24 months of age were associated with elevated Th2 status in children at an early age. The results concluded that the early exposures to an agricultural environment, breast-feeding, pets, and gas stoves affected the development of children's Th1/Th2 immune response.

T1  - Comparative Risk Assessment of the Burden of Disease from Climate Change
AN  - 14793373; 10708751
AB  - Various issues related to risk assessment of the burden of disease from climate change are presented. The comparative risk assessment framework is potentially useful approach to present policy-relevant quantitative estimates of the risks that climate change poses to health, at both the global and the national level. Given limited public health resources in many countries for risk assessment, it is important to reduce duplication in the work. Global assessment captures the scale of the future climate change-related disease burden and highlights regions most at risk for particular health outcomes. Results indicate that national assessment can provide the highest level of spatial resolution and hence the opportunity to quantify variation in risk between administrative decisions.

T1  - Climate Change, Health, and Vulnerability in Canadian Northern Aboriginal Communities
AN  - 14792463; 10708755
AB  - Experiences from two projects that have taken a community-based dialogue-oriented approach to identifying and assessing potential health impacts and vulnerability to climate change in two Inuit regions of the Canadian Arctic are presented. There is currently sparse information on the effectiveness of any current strategies for dealing with climate-related or environmental risks to health. The community-based, dialogue-focused approach has proven valuable in engaging communities and establishing a local baseline for understanding the changes, impacts, vulnerabilities, and the ability to respond at the local scale. Establishing community freezer and distribution plans would help in addressing current nutritional and other food issues as well as increase the capability of an individual to access safe and healthy foods in the face of environmental changes.

AN  - 14791966; 10708754
AB  - Various issues related to climate variability and change and their potential health effects in small island states are presented. Information from presentations and discussions at three workshops, and a conference organized by the World Health Organization, in partnership with the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme is presented. Small island states have designed and implemented a variety of strategies, policies, and measures to reduce the current burden of climate-sensitive diseases. Results indicate that the climate change would interact and exacerbate other factors that contribute to the vulnerability of a particular region. Key recommendations are identified for improving the capacity of the health sector to anticipate and prepare for climate variability and change.

T1  - An Approach for Assessing Human Health Vulnerability and Public Health Interventions to Adapt to Climate Change
AN  - 14791806; 10708750
AB  - An approach for assessing human health vulnerability and public health interventions to adapt to climate change was presented. Assessing the potential health impacts of climate variability and change required understanding both the vulnerability of a population and its capacity to respond to new conditions. Assessments of the potential health impacts of climate variability and change were needed to inform the development of adaptation options in health and other sectors and to provide information on the impacts and the adaptation requirements to international policy processes. The results concluded that the assessment should make the problem and the potential impacts explicit and clear to policy makers and should help decision makers in choosing among adaptation options designed to reduce negative impacts.

T1  - Arsenic Exposure and Age- and Sex-Specific Risk for Skin Lesions: A Population-Based Case-Referent Study in Bangladesh
AN  - 14791699; 10708740
AB  - The susceptibility to arsenic-induced skin lesions by age and sex, in a population drinking water from As-contaminated tube wells is investigated. Identification of As-related skin lesions is carried out in three steps: screening of the entire population > 4 years of age by trained field teams: diagnosis of suspected As-relate cases by physicians; and confirmation by experts based on physicians' records and photographs. A total of 504 cases with skin lesions are confirmed. Individual history of As exposure is based on information obtained during interviews and includes all drinking-water sources used since 1970 and concentration of As in all the tube wells used. The results demonstrate that males are susceptible than females to develop skin lesions when exposed to As in water from tube wells.

T1  - Response Inhibition During Differential Reinforcement in Low Rates (DRL) Schedules May Be Sensitive to Low-Level Polychlorinated Biphenyl, Methylmercury, and Lead Exposure in Children
AN  - 14791672; 10708749
AB  - The relationship between prenatal polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and postnatal lead (Pb) exposure performance on a Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate (DRL) schedule in children was investigated. Around 167 children on a DRL20 (20 sec) reinforcement schedule were tested. Interresponse times (IRTs) and the number of reinforced response across the session were also recorded. Children prenatally exposed to PCBs responded excessively, with significantly lower IRTs and earned fewer reinforcers across the session. Impaired response inhibition and excessive responding during delayed reinforcement paradigms were consistent with alterations in the function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The percentage of reinforced responses increased across the session in all groups, a pattern indicative of learning. Results concluded that performance on delayed reinforcement paradigms was highly sensitive to PCBs, methylmercury (MeHg), and Pb.

T1  - Fonofos Exposure and Cancer Incidence in the Agricultural Health Study
AN  - 14791614; 10708738
AB  - Fonofos exposure and cancer incidence in the agricultural health study (AHS) are presented. The AHS is a prospective cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina enrolled 1993-1997 and followed for incident cancer through 2002. This finding along with findings of associations between organophosphate pesticides and cancer more broadly led to this study of fonofos and risk of any cancers among 45, 372 pesticide applicators enrolled in the AHS. Pesticide exposure and other data are collected using self-administered questionnaires. Poisson regression is used to calculate rate ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) while controlling for potential confounders. Relative to the exposed, leukemia risk is elevated in the highest category of lifetime and intensity-weighted exposure-days, a measure that takes into account factors that modify pesticide exposure.

T1  - Parabens as Urinary Biomarkers of Exposure in Humans
AN  - 14791388; 10708739
AB  - Various aspects related to the parabens as urinary biomarkers of exposure in humans, are discussed. Parabens appear frequently as antimicrobial preservatives in cosmetic products, in pharmaceuticals, and in food and beverage processing. In vivo and in vitro studies have revealed weak estrogenic activity of some parabens. Widespread use has raised concerns about the potential human health risks associated with paraben exposure. In animals, parabens are mostly hydrolyzed to p-hydroxybenzoic acid and excreted in the urine as conjugates. p-hydroxybenzoic acid is a nonspecific biomarker, and the varying estrogenic bioactivities of parabens require specific biomarkers. The urinary concentrations of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, butyl, and benzyl parabens in a demographically diverse group of 100 anonymous adults are measured. The results, demonstrating the presence of urinary conjugates of parabens in humans, suggest that such conjugated parabens can be used as exposure biomarkers.

T1  - Assessment of Human Health Vulnerability to Climate Variability and Change in Cuba
AN  - 14791289; 10708752
AB  - The potential effects of climate variability and change on population health in Cuba were assessed. Analysis of the associations between climatic anomalies and disease patterns highlighted current vulnerability to climate variability. The potential economic costs associated with future impacts due to climate change were also presented. Additional interventions that could be implemented within the time frame of decision makers should be identified to reduce the health effect projected to occur with climate change. The results suggested that the tools used could be useful in the development of appropriate and effective adaptation options to address the increased climate variability associated with climate change. The results demonstrated that studies of climate and health were necessary to increase the knowledge of the effects of climate on human health.

T1  - Urinary Perchlorate and Thyroid Hormone Levels in Adolescent and Adult Men and Women Living in the United States
AN  - 14791271; 10708742
AB  - The potential relationship between urinary levels of perchlorate and serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and total thyroxine (T sub(4)) in 2,299 men and women, greater than or equal to 12 years of age, participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2001-2002 is examined. The multiple regression model of T sub(4) and TSH that include perchlorate and covariates known to be or likely to be associated with T sub(4) or TSH levels: age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, estrogen use, menopausal status, pregnancy status, permenarche status, serum C-reactive protein, serum albumin, serum cotinine, hours of fasting, urinary thiocyanate, urinary nitrate, and selected medication groups, is used. It is found that the associations of perchlorate with T sub(4) and TSH are coherent in direction and independent of other variables known to affect thyroid function, but are present at perchlorate exposure levels that are unanticipated based on previous studies.

T1  - Whole-Body Lifetime Occupational Lead Exposure and Risk of Parkinson's Disease
AN  - 14791266; 10708743
AB  - The association between objective chronic occupational lead exposure and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is investigated. It is observed that 121 PD patients and 414 age-, sex-, and race-, frequency-matched controls in a case-control study are enrolled. As an indicator of chronic Pb exposure, the concentrations of tibial and calcaneal bone Pb stores using super(109)Cadmium excited K-series X-ray fluorescence are measured. As an indicator of recent exposure, the blood Pb concentration is measured. The occupational data on participants from 18 years of age are collected and an industrial hygienist determined the duration and intensity of environmental Pb exposure. The results provide an objective measure of chronic Pb exposure and confirm the earlier findings that occupational exposure to Pb is a risk factor for PD.

AN  - 14791230; 10708735
AB  - The possible toxic human health effects that can result from exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) generated by anthropogenic activities and their cardiopulmonary outcomes are investigated. With the advent of nanotechnology, the prospects for using engineered nanomaterials with diameters of < 100 nm in industrial applications, medical imaging, disease diagnoses, drug delivery, cancer treatment, gene therapy, and other areas have progressed rapidly. The potential for nanoparticles (NPs) in these areas is infinite, with novel new applications constantly being explored. The possible toxic health effects of these NPs associated with human exposure are unknown. The comparability of engineered NPs to ultrafine particles (USPs) suggests that the human health effects are likely to be similar.

T1  - Esophageal regurgitation as a cause of inspiratory distress after thyroplasty.
AN  - 85405285; pmid-17084230
AB  - Edema of the arytenoid and wound hematoma are principal causes of inspiratory distress after arytenoid adduction and type I thyroplasty. The purpose of the present study was demonstrate esophageal regurgitation one of the causes of inspiratory distress after thyroplastic surgeries.Two case reports.We encountered 2 patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility who required emergent tracheostomy owing to sudden inspiratory distress 1 to 2 days after completion of arytenoid adduction combined with type I thyroplasty.Their dyspneic attacks occurred just after taking a meal. Both had a history of esophagectomy with reconstruction of the food passage using a gastric tube. They had a sufficiently wide glottis as indicated by laryngeal fiberscopy. Videofluorography showed a stricture at the junction between the duodenum and the gastric tube and barium pooling above the stricture. Regurgitation of barium was also seen.Based on these clinical courses and findings, laryngeal closure reflex triggered by esophageal regurgitation was considered to be the most possible cause of their dyspneic attacks. Phonosurgeons considering thyroplastic surgeries for postesophagectomy patients should be aware that esophageal regurgitation possibly causes laryngeal closure reflex resulting in inspiratory distress during the postoperative period.

T1  - Co-composting of acid waste bentonites and their effects on soil properties and crop biomass.
AN  - 69008573; 17071900
AB  - Acid waste bentonite is a byproduct from vegetable oil bleaching that is acidic (pH 10 800 s to 16 to 80 s after composting. Furthermore, these composted materials showed positive impacts on soil physical attributes including specific surface area, bulk density, and available water content for crop growth. Highly significant increases in maize biomass (Zea mays L.) production over two consecutive cropping cycles was observed in treatments receiving co-composted bentonite. The study clearly demonstrates the potential for converting an environmentally hazardous material into a high-quality soil conditioner using readily available agricultural byproducts. It is envisaged that the application of these composted acid waste bentonites to degraded soils will increase productivity and on-farm income, thus contributing toward food security and poverty alleviation.

T1  - Genetic characteristics of Matlab variants of Vibrio cholerae O1 that are hybrids between classical and El Tor biotypes.
AN  - 68944203; 17030917
AB  - The Matlab variants of Vibrio cholerae O1, defined as hybrids between the classical and El Tor biotypes, were first isolated from hospitalized patients with acute secretory diarrhoea in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh. These variants could not be categorized as classical or El Tor biotypes by phenotypic and genotypic tests, and had representative traits of both the biotypes. A number of virulence-associated genes and/or gene clusters were screened by PCR and DNA sequencing. El Tor-specific gene clusters, Vibrio seventh-pandemic islands (VSP)-I and -II and repeat toxin (RTX) were present in the genome of these variants, indicating their El Tor lineage, whereas the nucleotide-sequence-derived CtxB amino acid sequence of these strains grouped them under the classical biotype. Matlab variants possessed all the necessary genes to initiate pandemics. The genetic relatedness of Matlab variants to the V. cholerae strains recently isolated in Mozambique is another important observation of this study, which underscores the epidemiological significance of Matlab variants.

T1  - Isolation of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains similar to pre-seventh pandemic El Tor strains during an outbreak of gastrointestinal disease in an island resort in Fiji.
AN  - 68940965; 17030916
AB  - Five strains of Vibrio cholerae O1, one each from an Australian and a New Zealand tourist with gastrointestinal illness returning from an island resort in Fiji and the remaining three from water sources located in the same resort, were extensively characterized. Conventional phenotypic traits that are used for biotyping of O1 V. cholerae categorized all five strains as belonging to the El Tor biotype. Genetic screening of 11 regions that are associated with virulence in V. cholerae showed variable results. The absence of genes comprising Vibrio seventh pandemic island-I (VSP-I) and VSP-II in all the strains indicated that these strains were very similar to the pre-seventh pandemic V. cholerae O1 El Tor strains. The ctxAB genes were absent in all strains whereas orfU and zot were present in four strains, indicating that the strains were non-toxigenic. Four strains carried a truncated CTX prophage. Although epidemiological and molecular studies suggested that these strains did not cause cholera amongst tourists at the resort, their similarity to pre-seventh pandemic strains, their prior association with gastrointestinal illness and their presence in the island resort setting warrant more attention.

T1  - Two Rescues, One History: Everyday Racism in Australia
AN  - 61659609; 200710711
AB  - On the same day, at different ends of Australia, two extraordinary rescues of men from extreme hardship took place. The two miners, both white and of Anglo-Celtic origin, were feted, appeared on television chat shows and became celebrities so sought after that they had to employ an agent. The three Torres Strait Islanders, members of a grouping identified as 'indigenous' in the Australian social order, who had survived 22 days at sea in an open dinghy, were, to all intents and purposes, ignored by the mainstream Australian media. They would appear to have simply gone back to their families and got on with their lives. This article tracks the discursive histories in which each event was embedded to examine how this distinction could happen and how it could be so naturalised that hardly anybody commented on the disparity of treatment. It is this taken-for-granted disparity that I am describing here as everyday racism. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - They Give Evidence': Bodies, Borders and the Disappeared
AN  - 57166575; 200709906
AB  - In this essay I explore certain relations between bodies and borders as threshold spaces marking both separation and connection, and functioning as the bearers of political meanings. My title refers to Dadang Christanto's installation 'They Give Evidence', a series of standing, naked figures, bearing in their outstretched arms the remnants of burnings, drownings, beatings and other mutilations that leave their subjects stripped of any markers of identity. These nameless bodies, an image of contemporary political violence, invite exploration of the relations between the bodies of the dead and the living, between practices of bearing witness and giving evidence. Beginning with the disappeared of the SIEV X sinking, euphemistically referred to in the recent Senate Inquiry as A Certain Maritime Incident', this essay examines ways in which nameless bodies of the dead and disappeared are made present in contemporary Australia as evidence, as political bodies. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Fe-TAML: Catalyst for Cleanup
AN  - 21194776; 11547575
AB  - Estrogens in contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, those given to agricultural animals, and industrial chemicals that mimic estrogen add to the volume of naturally occurring biologically active compounds in the environment. These compounds make their way into surface and groundwater, and eventually into drinking water supplies, where they have been shown to cause adverse developmental effects in animals. U.S. wastewater plants are not currently required to remove these substances, though eventually they may be. Now scientists are experimenting with catalysts called Fe-TAML(registered trademark) (iron plus tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand) activators as an effective, nontoxic approach to removing these and other contaminants from wastewater.

T1  - Changes Induced by Exposure of the Human Lung to Glass Fiber-Reinforced Plastic
AN  - 21194745; 11547552
AB  - The inhalation of glass dusts mixed in resin, generally known as glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GRP), represents a little-studied occupational hazard. The few studies performed have highlighted nonspecific lung disorders in animals and in humans. In the present study we evaluated the alteration of the respiratory system and the pathogenic mechanisms causing the changes in a group of working men employed in different GRP processing operations and exposed to production dusts. The study was conducted on a sample of 29 male subjects whose mean age was 37 years and mean length of service 11 years. All of the subjects were submitted to a clinical check-up, basic tests, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); microscopic studies and biochemical analysis were performed on the BAL fluid. Tests of respiratory function showed a large number of obstructive syndromes; scanning electron microscopy highlighted qualitative and quantitative alterations of the alveolar macrophages; and transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of electron-dense cytoplasmatic inclusions indicating intense and active phlogosis (external inflammation). Biochemical analyses highlighted an increase in protein content associated with alterations of the lung oxidant/antioxidant homeostasis. Inhalation of GRP, independent of environmental concentration, causes alterations of the cellular and humoral components of pulmonary interstitium; these alterations are identified microscopically as acute alveolitis.

T1  - The Importance of Hormesis to Public Health
AN  - 21189163; 11547576
AB  - BACKGROUND: Hormesis is a specific type of nonmonotonic dose response whose occurrence has been documented across a broad range of biological models, diverse types of exposure, and a variety of outcomes. The effects that occur at various points along this curve can be interpreted as beneficial or detrimental, depending on the biological or ecologic context in which they occur. OBJECTIVE: Because hormesis appears to be a relatively common phenomenon that has not yet been incorporated into regulatory practice, the objective of this commentary is to explore some of its more obvious public health and risk assessment implications, with particular reference to issues raised recently within this journal by other authors. DISCUSSION: Hormesis appears to be more common than dose-response curves that are currently used in the risk assessment process [e.g., linear no-threshold (LNT)]. Although a number of mechanisms have been identified that explain many hormetic dose-response relationships, better understanding of this phenomenon will likely lead to different strategies not only for the prevention and treatment of disease but also for the promotion of improved public health as it relates to both specific and more holistic health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that ignoring hormesis is poor policy because it ignores knowledge that could be used to improve public health.

T1  - Biomarkers of Exposure: A Case Study with Inorganic Arsenic
AN  - 21189145; 11547562
AB  - The environmental contaminant inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a human toxicant and carcinogen. Most mammals metabolize iAs by reducing it to trivalency, followed by oxidative methylation to pentavalency. iAs and its methylated metabolites are primarily excreted in urine within 4-5 days by most species and have a relatively low rate of bioaccumulation. Intra- and interindividual differences in the methylation of iAs may affect the adverse health effects of arsenic. Both inorganic and organic trivalent arsenicals are more potent toxicants than pentavalent forms. Several mechanisms of action have been proposed for arsenic-induced toxicity, but a scientific consensus has not been achieved. Biomarkers of exposure may be used to quantify exposure to iAs. The most common biomarker of exposure for iAs is the measurement of total urinary arsenic. However, consumption of seafood containing high concentrations of organic arsenic can confound estimation of iAs exposure. Because these organic species are thought to be relatively nontoxic, their presence in urine may not represent increased risk. Speciation of urinary arsenic into inorganic and organic forms, and even oxidation state, gives a more definitive indication of the exposure to iAs. Questions still remain, however, as to how reliably the measurement of urinary arsenic, either total or speciated, may predict arsenic concentrations at target tissues as well as how this measurement could be used to assess chronic exposures to iAs.

T1  - Fertile grounds of inquiry: environmental effects on human reproduction.
AN  - 21186810; 11547368
AB  - At a time when at least 80 million people worldwide are estimated to be affected by infertility, scientists are starting to look closely at how exposures to environmental substances may affect the ability of a couple to achieve a healthy pregnancy. Studies of wildlife and laboratory animals are helping to pin down how exposure to chemicals such as endocrine disruptors affects reproductive development, while human studies are looking at genetic effects, the effects of multicompound exposures, and the potential contribution of agricultural pesticides and persistent organic pollutants to problems such as low sperm counts and altered sex ratios. However, a thorough exploration of environmental effects on fertility will require the expertise of many different disciplines.

T1  - Setting a Baseline for Biomonitoring
AN  - 21186474; 11547574
AB  - A National Research Council report released in July 2006 acknowledged the contribution of biomonitoring to the assessment of exposures to substances including lead, mercury, and secondhand tobacco smoke, resulting in successful public health initiatives such as the removal of lead from gasoline and other exposure prevention strategies. The report noted, however, that challenges surround the use of this technology. Further, the design of biomonitoring studies needs to include more emphasis on communicating results, and there should be what the report called "a consistent rationale for selecting chemicals to be studied based on exposure and public health concerns."

T1  - Integrating Biomonitoring Exposure Data into the Risk Assessment Process: Phthalates [Diethyl Phthalate and Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate] as a Case Study
AN  - 21186453; 11547563
AB  - The probability of nonoccupational exposure to phthalates is high given their use in a vast range of consumables, including personal care products (e.g., perfumes, lotions, cosmetics), paints, industrial plastics, and certain medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Phthalates are of high interest because of their potential for human exposure and because animal toxicity studies suggest that some phthalates affect male reproductive development apparently via inhibition of androgen biosynthesis. In humans, phthalates are rapidly metabolized to their monoesters, which can be further transformed to oxidative products, conjugated, and eliminated. Phthalate metabolites have been used as biomarkers of exposure. Using urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations allows accurate assessments of human exposure because these concentrations represent an integrative measure of exposure to phthalates from multiple sources and routes. However, the health significance of this exposure is unknown. To link biomarker measurements to exposure, internal dose, or health outcome, additional information (e.g., toxicokinetics, inter- and intraindividual differences) is needed. We present a case study using diethyl phthalate and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate as examples to illustrate scientific approaches and their limitations, identify data gaps, and outline research needs for using biomonitoring data in the context of human health risk assessment, with an emphasis on exposure and dose. Although the vast and growing literature on phthalates research could not be covered comprehensively in this article, we made every attempt to include the most relevant publications as of the end of 2005.

Some of these same or equally menacing hazards threaten the health of many in the United States, particularly and often disproportionately the poor; however, the scale of such threats here pales in comparison to that of much of the world.

T1  - Expression of Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzymes in Different Lung Compartments of Smokers and Nonsmokers
AN  - 21180801; 11547572
AB  - BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) play an important role in the defense against inhaled toxicants, and expression of CYP enzymes may differ among various lung cells and tissue compartments. METHODS: We studied the effects of tobacco smoke in volunteers and investigated gene expression of 19 CYPs and 3 flavin-containing monooxygenases, as well as isoforms of glutathione S-transferases (GST) and uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and the microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) in bronchoalveolar lavage cells and bronchial biopsies derived from smokers (n = 8) and nonsmokers (n = 10). We also investigated gene expression of nuclear transcription factors known to be involved in the regulation of xenobiotic metabolism enzymes. RESULTS: Gene expression of CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP2S1, GSTP1, and EPHX1 was induced in bronchoalveolar lavage cells of smokers, whereas expression of CYP2B6/7, CYP3A5, and UGT2A1 was repressed. In bronchial biopsies of smokers, CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP2C9, GSTP1, and GSTA2 were induced, but CYP2J2 and EPHX1 were repressed. Induction of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 transcript abundance resulted in increased activity of the coded enzyme. Finally, expression of the liver X receptor and the glucocorticoid receptor was significantly up-regulated in bronchoalveolar lavage cells of smokers. CONCLUSIONS: We found gene expression of pulmonary xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and certain key transcription factors to be regulated in bronchoalveolar lavage cells and bronchial biopsies of smokers. The observed changes demonstrate tissue specificity in xenobiotic metabolism, with likely implications for the metabolic activation of procarcinogens to ultimate carcinogens of tobacco smoke.

T1  - Grand Rounds: Outbreak of Hematologic Abnormalities in a Community of People Exposed to Leakage of Fire Extinguisher Gas
AN  - 21180758; 11547564
AB  - CONTEXT: Although there are ample data on the respiratory effects of exposure to fire extinguisher gas, the potential hematologic effects have not been fully documented. We conducted this study to determine the possible etiologic agent(s) for a decrease in red blood cells among community residents in Taipei, Taiwan, after they were exposed to leakage of mixed fire extinguishants containing bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br, Halon 1301), bromochlorodifluoromethane (CF2BrCl, Halon 1211), and dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2, CFC-12). CASE PRESENTATION: We studied 117 exposed residents who came into one hospital for physical examinations. We also selected age- and sex-matched referents for comparison from residents who came to the same hospital for health examinations. Nine months after the exposure to mixed fire extinguishants, 91 of the exposed residents came back for a second physical examination. In the first examination of the exposed residents, we found a significant reduction in red blood cell count and hemoglobin and a relationship between dose and response. DISCUSSION: After excluding iron-deficiency anemia, thalassemia, and other possible agents, we suspected that the hematologic effects might have resulted from pyrolytic products of CFC-12 and Halon 1211, which may contain phosgene, among other products. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The acute transient hematologic effects observed in the exposed residents were associated with the incident of leakage of mixed fire-extinguisher gases and were most likely caused by a small amount of pyrolytic products, probably phosgene. Nine months after the exposure, we found a significant improvement in the abnormalities without any specific treatment.

T1  - The Use of Biomonitoring Data in Exposure and Human Health Risk Assessments
AN  - 21180741; 11547557
AB  - Biomonitoring uses analytic methods that permit the accurate measurement of low levels of environmental chemicals in human tissues. However, depending on the intended use, biomonitoring, like all exposure tools, may not be a stand-alone exposure assessment tool for some of its environmental public health uses. Although biomonitoring data demonstrate that many environmental chemicals are absorbed in human tissues, uncertainty exists regarding if and at what concentrations many of these chemicals cause adverse health outcomes. Moreover, without exposure pathway information, it is difficult to relate biomonitoring results to sources and routes of exposure and develop effective health risk management strategies. In September 2004, the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and International Council of Chemical Associations co-sponsored the International Biomonitoring Workshop, which explored the processes and information needed for placing biomonitoring data into perspective for risk assessment purposes, with special emphasis on integrating biomarker measurements of exposure, internal dose, and potential health outcome. Scientists from international governments, academia, and industry recommended criteria for applying biomonitoring data for various uses. Six case studies, which are part of this mini-monograph, were examined: inorganic arsenic, methyl eugenol, organophosphorus pesticides, perfluorooctanesulfonate, phthalates, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Based on the workshop and follow-up discussions, this overview article summarizes lessons learned, identifies data gaps, outlines research needs, and offers guidance for designing and conducting biomonitoring studies, as well as interpreting biomonitoring data in the context of risk assessment and risk management.

T1  - Exposures to Airborne Particulate Matter and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes: A Biologically Plausible Mechanistic Framework for Exploring Potential Effect Modification by Nutrition
AN  - 21179774; 11547577
AB  - OBJECTIVES: The specific objectives are threefold: to describe the biologically plausible mechanistic pathways by which exposure to particulate matter (PM) may lead to the adverse perinatal outcomes of low birth weight (LBW), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and preterm delivery (PTD); review the evidence showing that nutrition affects the biologic pathways; and explain the mechanisms by which nutrition may modify the impact of PM exposure on perinatal outcomes. METHODS: We propose an interdisciplinary conceptual framework that brings together maternal and infant nutrition, air pollution exposure assessment, and cardiopulmonary and perinatal epidemiology. Five possible albeit not exclusive biologic mechanisms have been put forth in the emerging environmental sciences literature and provide corollaries for the proposed framework. CONCLUSIONS: Protecting the environmental health of mothers and infants remains a top global priority. The existing literature indicates that the effects of PM on LBW, PTD, and IUGR may manifest through the cardiovascular mechanisms of oxidative stress, inflammation, coagulation, endothelial function, and hemodynamic responses. PM exposure studies relating mechanistic pathways to perinatal outcomes should consider the likelihood that biologic responses and adverse birth outcomes may be derived from both PM and non-PM sources (e.g., nutrition). In the concluding section, we present strategies for empirically testing the proposed model and developing future research efforts.

T1  - Distribution of Nanoparticles in the See-through Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
AN  - 21179709; 11547566
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Because the environmental fate of manufactured nanoparticles is considered an emerging environmental concern, I used water-suspended fluorescent nanoparticles (solid latex solution) to investigate the distribution of nanoparticles in the eggs and bodies of see-through medaka (Oryzias latipes). RESULTS: Particles 39.4-42,000 nm in diameter were adsorbed to the chorion of medaka eggs and accumulated in the oil droplets; 474-nm particles had the highest bioavailability to eggs. Particles 39.4 nm in diameter shifted into the yolk and gallbladder during embryonic development. Adult medaka accumulated 39.4-nm nanoparticles mainly in the gills and intestine when exposed to a 10-mg/L nanoparticle solution. Nanoparticles were also detected in the brain, testis, liver, and blood. Concentrations of nanoparticles in the blood of male and female medaka were 16.5 and 10.5 ng/mg blood protein, respectively. These results suggest that nanoparticles are capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier and that they eventually reach the brain. Salinity-dependent acute toxicity was observed in medaka eggs exposed for 24 hr to nanoparticles. CONCLUSION: The bioavailability and toxicity of nanoparticles depend on environmental factors and multiple physicochemical properties. Further studies on the toxic effects of nanoparticles used in commercial products and their environmental relevance, are necessary to define the risks and benefit of nanomaterial applications.

T1  - Potential Uses of Biomonitoring Data: A Case Study Using the Organophosphorus Pesticides Chlorpyrifos and Malathion
AN  - 21163292; 11547558
AB  - BACKGROUND: Organophosphorus pesticides such as chlorpyrifos and malathion are widely used insecticides. They do not bioaccumulate appreciably in humans and are rapidly metabolized and excreted in the urine. In nonoccupational settings, exposures to these pesticides are typically sporadic and short-lived because the pesticides tend to degrade in the environment over time; however, dietary exposures may be more chronic. Biologic monitoring has been widely used to assess exposures, susceptibility, and effects of chlorpyrifos and malathion; thus, the information base on these compounds is data rich. For biomonitoring of exposure, chlorpyrifos and malathion have been measured in blood, but most typically their urinary metabolites have been measured. For assessing early effects and susceptibility, cholinesterase and microsomal esterase activities, respectively, have been measured. OBJECTIVES: Although many biologic monitoring data have been generated and published on these chemicals, their interpretation is not straightforward. For example, exposure to environmental degradates of chlorpyrifos and malathion may potentially increase f urinary metabolite levels, thus leading to overestimation of exposure. Also, the temporal nature of the exposures makes the evaluation of both exposure and effects difficult. We present an overview of the current biomonitoring and other relevant data available on exposure to chlorpyrifos and malathion and the use of these data in various environmental public health applications.

T1  - Molecular Epidemiologic Evidence for Diabetogenic Effects of Dioxin Exposure in U.S. Air Force Veterans of the Vietnam War
AN  - 21162695; 11547569
AB  - BACKGROUND: One of the outcomes positively associated with dioxin exposure in humans is type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted in order to find the molecular biological evidence for the diabetogenic action of dioxin in adipose samples from Vietnam veterans. METHODS: We obtained 313 adipose tissue samples both from Vietnam veterans who were exposed to dioxin (Operation Ranch Hand) and from comparison veterans who served in Southeast Asia with no record of dioxin exposure. We conducted quantitative reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction studies on selected marker mRNAs from these samples. RESULTS: We found the most sensitive and reliable molecular indicator of dioxin-induced diabetes to be the ratio of mRNA of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFkappaB), a marker of inflammation. This ratio showed significant correlations to serum dioxin residues and to fasting glucose among those in the Ranch Hand group and, surprisingly, even in the comparison group, who have low levels of dioxin comparable to the general public. Such a correlation in the comparison group was particularly significant among those with known risk factors such as obesity and family history of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that the GLUT4:NFkappaB ratio is a reliable marker for the diabetogenic action of dioxin, particularly at very low exposure levels that are not much higher than those found in the general public, implying a need to address current exposure levels.

T1  - International Studies of Prenatal Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Fetal Growth
AN  - 21162648; 11547555
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitously distributed human mutagens and carcinogens. However, lack of adequate air monitoring data has limited understanding of the effects of airborne PAHs on fetal growth. To address this gap in knowledge, we examined the association between prenatal exposure to airborne PAHs and birth weight, birth length, and birth head circumference, respectively, in Krakow, Poland, and New York City (NYC). METHODS: The parallel prospective cohort studies enrolled nonsmoking, healthy, and nonoccupationally exposed women and their newborns. Personal air monitoring of pregnant women was conducted over 48 hr. To control for maternal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, we excluded those with umbilical cord plasma cotinine concentrations 25 ng/mL. Mean cord plasma cotinine concentrations in both ethnic groups were or= 0.5 ng/mL. RESULTS: Prenatal PAH exposure was 10-fold higher in Krakow than in NYC. Prenatal PAH exposure was associated with significantly reduced birth weight in both Krakow Caucasians (p 0.01) and in NYC African Americans (p 0.01), controlling for known and potential confounders, but not in NYC Dominicans. Within the lower exposure range common to the two cities (1.80-36.47 ng/m3), the effect per unit PAH exposure on birth weight was 6-fold greater for NYC African Americans than for Krakow Caucasians (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These results confirm the adverse reproductive effect of relatively low PAH concentrations in two populations and suggest increased susceptibility of NYC African Americans. Fetal growth impairment has been linked to child developmental and health problems. Thus, substantial health benefits would result from global reduction of PAH emissions.

T1  - The Applicability of Biomonitoring Data for Perfluorooctanesulfonate to the Environmental Public Health Continuum
AN  - 21140381; 11547560
AB  - Perfluorooctanesulfonate and its salts (PFOS) are derived from perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride, the basic chemical building block for many sulfonyl-based fluorochemicals used as surfactants and for their repellent properties. PFOS is highly persistent in the environment and has a long serum elimination half-life in both animals and humans. PFOS has been detected globally in the environment and in blood serum in various populations throughout the world, with the majority of human sampling done in the United States and Japan. The mechanisms and pathways leading to the presence of PFOS in human blood are not well characterized but likely involve both direct exposures to PFOS or chemicals and materials that can degrade to PFOS, either in the environment or from industrial and commercial uses. In 2000 the 3M Company, a major manufacturer, announced a phaseout of PFOS-related materials. Animal studies indicate that PFOS is well absorbed orally and distributes mainly in blood serum and the liver. Several repeat-dose toxicology studies in animals consistently demonstrated that the liver is the primary target organ. In addition there is a steep dose response for mortality in sexually mature rats and primates as well as in neonatal rats and mice exposed in utero. Several biomonitoring research needs that have been identified on PFOS include additional data from general populations pertaining to other matrices besides blood; matched serum and urine samples from humans and research animals; and comparison of whole blood, serum, and plasma concentrations from the same individuals.

T1  - Concept paper: Selection of pathogen agents in weed biological control: critical issues and peculiarities in relation to arthropod agents
AN  - 20742087; 7095068
AB  - Plant pathogens are playing an increasing role in classical biological control of weeds worldwide. This paper presents an explicit framework consisting of various interconnected steps to facilitate and streamline the selection process for pathogen agents. It also highlights and discusses critical issues associated with the various steps of the selection framework such as the climatic-matching approach to find well-adapted agents, host-pathogen matching and pathogen genetic structure. Processes and issues relating to the selection of pathogens are then contrasted with those usually adopted for arthropod selection in weed biological control. In both cases optimising the level of genetic diversity in introduced agents is seen as beneficial to biological control success. The difference in regulatory approach for multiple and genetically pure pathogen strains vs. genetically variable arthropod agents is highlighted for further scientific debate.

T1  - Case study: Selection of biological control agents for bridal creeper: a retrospective review
AN  - 20739222; 7095058
AB  - We reviewed in retrospect the selection process of agents for the biological control of bridal creeper (Asparagus asparagoides) in Australia. Selection of agents was facilitated by first investing resources, mostly in South Africa, to clarify identification of the target weed, locate most suitable areas to search for natural enemies, make preliminary observations on phenology, host range and impact of natural enemies and experimentally demonstrate indirect impact of a foliage feeder on below-ground biomass of bridal creeper. Although only limited climate modelling was performed to predict abundance of prioritised agents in Australia, their widespread distribution in South Africa was a good indication that they were likely to establish. No attempts were made to predict possible levels of parasitism that could be encountered in Australia and no formal assessment was undertaken to decide in what order prioritised agents should be released. Three of the four agents prioritised have now been released in Australia. The rust fungus Puccinia myrsiphylli (Thuem.) G. Winter and leafhopper Zygina sp. have widely established and have already demonstrated their capacity to reduce significantly density of bridal creeper populations. It is still too early to determine the contribution that the third agent released, the Crioceris sp. leaf beetle, will make to the program.

T1  - Using the tangle: A consistent construction of phylogenetic distance matrices for quartets
AN  - 20217028; 7133659
AB  - Distance based algorithms are a common technique in the construction of phylogenetic trees from taxonomic sequence data. The first step in the implementation of these algorithms is the calculation of a pairwise distance matrix to give a measure of the evolutionary change between any pair of the extant taxa. A standard technique is to use the log det formula to construct pairwise distances from aligned sequence data. We review a distance measure valid for the most general models, and show how the log det formula can be used as an estimator thereof. We then show that the foundation upon which the log det formula is constructed can be generalized to produce a previously unknown estimator which improves the consistency of the distance matrices constructed from the log det formula. This distance estimator provides a consistent technique for constructing quartets from phylogenetic sequence data under the assumption of the most general Markov model of sequence evolution.

T1  - Enhancement of gene transfer activity mediated by mannosylated dendrimer/ alpha -cyclodextrin conjugate (generation 3, G3)
AN  - 19616618; 8607797
AB  - To enhance gene transfer activity of dendrimers, we prepared its conjugate (generation 3, G3) with alpha -cyclodextrin bearing mannose (Man- alpha -CDE conjugates) with various degrees of substitution of the mannose moiety (DSM5, 10, 13, 20) and compared their cytotoxicity and gene transfer activity, and elucidated the enhancing mechanism for the activity. Of the various carriers used here, Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) provided the highest gene transfer activity in NR8383, A549, NIH3T3 and HepG2 cells, being independent of the expression of mannose receptors. Gene transfer activity of Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) was not decreased by the addition of 10% serum in A549 cells. Cytotoxicity of the polyplex with Man- alpha -CDE conjugates (G3, DSM10) was not observed in A549 and NIH3T3 cells up to the charge ratio of 200/1 (carrier/pDNA). The gel mobility and particle size of polyplex with Man- alpha - CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) were relevant to those with alpha -CDE conjugate (G3), but [zeta]-potential, DNase I stability, pDNA condensation of the former polyplex were somewhat different from those of the latter one. Cellular association of polyplex with Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) was almost comparable to that with dendrimer (G3) complex and alpha -CDE conjugate (G3). The addition of mannan and mannose attenuated gene transfer activity of Man- alpha - CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) in A549 cells. Alexa-pDNA complex with TRITC-Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10), but not the complex with TRITC- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3), was found to translocate to nucleus at 24 h after incubation in A549 cells. HVJ-E vector including mannan, but neither the vector alone nor the vector including dextran, suppressed the nuclear localization of TRITC-Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) to a striking degree after 24 h incubation in A549 cells. These results suggest that Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (G3, DSM10) has less cytotoxicity and prominent gene transfer activity through not only its serum resistant and endosome-escaping abilities but also nuclear localization ability.

T1  - RESEARCH PAPER: Multi-extent analysis of the relationship between pteridophyte species richness and climate
AN  - 19539856; 7106471
AB  - Aim: To determine the relationship between the distribution of climate, climatic heterogeneity and pteridophyte species richness gradients in Australia, using an approach that does not assume potential relationships are spatially invariant and allows for scale effects (extent of analysis) to be explicitly examined. Location: Australia, extending from 10 degree S to 43 degree S and 112 degree E to 153 degree E. Method: Species richness within 50 x 50 km grid cells was determined using point distribution data. Climatic surfaces representing the distribution and availability of water and energy at 1 km and 5 km cell resolutions were obtained. Climate at the 50 km resolution of analysis was represented by their mean and standard deviation in that area. Relationships were assessed using geographically weighted linear regression at a range of spatial bandwidths to investigate scale effects. Results: The parameters and the predictive strength of all models varied across space at all extents of analysis. Overall, climatic variables representing water availability were more highly correlated to pteridophyte richness gradients in Australia than those representing energy. Their variance in cells further increased the strength of the relationships in topographically heterogeneous regions. Relationships with water were strong across all extents of analysis, particularly in the tropical and subtropical parts of the continent. Water availability explained less of the variation in richness at higher latitudes. Main conclusions: This study brings into question the ability of aspatial and single-extent models, searching for a unified explanation of macro-scaled patterns in gradients of diversity, to adequately represent reality. It showed that, across Australia, there is a positive relationship between pteridophyte species richness and water availability but the strength and nature of the relationship varies spatially with scale in a highly complex manner. The spatial variance, or actual complexity, in these relationships could not have been demonstrated had a traditional aspatial global regression approach been used. Regional scale variation in relationships may be at least as important as more general relationships for a true understanding of the distribution of broad-scale diversity.

T1  - Spatio-temporal patterns in maturation of the chokka squid (Loligo vulgaris reynaudii) off the coast of South Africa
AN  - 19507607; 7203776
AB  - Knowledge of the temporal and spatial characteristics of chokka squid (Loligo vulgaris reynaudii) biology in South African waters is limited, so the possibility of there being a geographically fragmented stock was examined by investigating the distribution of maturity patterns for the species, covering all known spawning areas and using both historical and recent data. Gonadosomatic indices (GSI) varied between year-round consistency and apparent seasonal peaks in both summer and winter; there was no clear spatial pattern. Monthly percentage maturity provided further evidence for two peak reproductive periods each year, although mature squid were present throughout. Sex ratios demonstrated great variability between different areas and life history stages. Male-biased sex ratios were only apparent on the inshore spawning grounds and ranged between 1.118:1 and 4.267:1. Size at sexual maturity was also seasonal, squid maturing smaller in winter/spring than in summer/autumn. Also, squid in the east matured smaller than squid in the west. Although the results from the present study do not provide conclusive evidence of distinct geographic populations, squid likely spawn over a significantly larger area of the Agulhas Bank than previously estimated, and squid on the west coast of South Africa may return to spawn on the western portion of the Agulhas Bank. It remains likely, however, that the east and west coast populations are a single stock and that migration of juveniles to the west coast and their subsequent return as sub-adults is an integral but non-essential and variable part of the life history.

T1  - Linking richness, community variability, and invasion resistance with patch size
AN  - 19492451; 7177924
AB  - The influence of community dynamics on the success or failure of an invasion is of considerable interest. What has not been explored is the influence of patch size on the outcomes of invasions for communities with the same species pool. Here we use an empirically validated spatial model of a marine epibenthic community to examine the effects of patch size on community variability, species richness, invasion, and the relationships between these variables. We found that the qualitative form of the relationship between community variability and species richness is determined by the size of the model patch. In small patches, variability decreases with species richness, but beyond a critical patch size, variability increases with increasing richness. This occurs because in large patches large, long-lived colonies attain sufficient size to minimize mortality and dominate the community, leading to decreased species richness and community variability. This mechanism cannot operate on smaller patches where the size of colonies is limited by the patch size and mortality is high irrespective of species identity. Further, invasion resistance is strongly correlated with community variability. Thus, the relationship between species richness and invasion resistance is also determined by patch size. These patterns are generated largely by an inverse relationship between colony size and mortality, and they depend on the spatial nature and patch size of the community. Our results suggest that a continuum of possible relationships can exist between species richness, community variability, invasion resistance, and area. These relationships are emergent behaviors generated by the individual properties of the particular component species of a community.

T1  - Summer Dormancy in Perennial Temperate Grasses
AN  - 19355208; 7120074
AB  - times BACKGROUND: and Aims Dormancy has been extensively studied in plants which experience severe winter conditions but much less so in perennial herbaceous plants that must survive summer drought. This paper reviews the current knowledge on summer dormancy in both native and cultivated perennial temperate grasses originating from the Mediterranean Basin, and presents a unified terminology to describe this trait. times Scope Under severe drought, it is difficult to separate the responses by which plants avoid and tolerate dehydration from those associated with the expression of summer dormancy. Consequently, this type of endogenous (endo-) dormancy can be tested only in plants that are not subjected to moisture deficit. Summer dormancy can be defined by four criteria, one of which is considered optional: (1) reduction or cessation of leaf production and expansion; (2) senescence of mature foliage; (3) dehydration of surviving organs; and (4, optional) formation of resting organs. The proposed terminology recognizes two levels of summer dormancy: (a) complete dormancy, when cessation of growth is associated with full senescence of foliage and induced dehydration of leaf bases; and (b) incomplete dormancy, when leaf growth is partially inhibited and is associated with moderate levels of foliage senescence. Summer dormancy is expressed under increasing photoperiod and temperature. It is under hormonal control and usually associated with flowering and a reduction in metabolic activity in meristematic tissues. Dehydration tolerance and dormancy are independent phenomena and differ from the adaptations of resurrection plants. times CONCLUSIONS: Summer dormancy has been correlated with superior survival after severe and repeated summer drought in a large range of perennial grasses. In the face of increasing aridity, this trait could be used in the development of cultivars that are able to meet agronomic and environmental goals. It is therefore important to have a better understanding of the genetic and environmental control of summer dormancy.

T1  - A method for surveying the condition of extensive walking track systems
AN  - 19354325; 7109180
AB  - A trial was undertaken of two techniques for assessing the physical condition of walking tracks (trails) over extended distances. A distance-based technique, in which categorical measurements were made at regular spatial intervals, proved to be sufficiently reliable to warrant further development. A refined version of this technique was developed, incorporating an assessment of environmental conditions, and its efficiency and precision were assessed. The technique is likely to be suitable for use in any areas where walking track and environmental conditions are broadly similar to those that occur in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It may also be suitable for use in other environments, but it would be prudent to conduct additional trials to assess its precision and reliability. Sampling at 20 m intervals, the technique can be used to assess typically 5-7 km of track per day in remote areas. Under western Tasmanian conditions, estimates of the spatial extent of specified categories of impact, derived from 100 sampling points, are accurate at a 95% confidence level to within +/-10%. The estimates can be applied in a Limits of Acceptable Change management framework and used as the basis for ongoing monitoring of track conditions.

T1  - Biomechanical Comparison of Traditional and Locked Suture Configurations for Arthroscopic Repairs of the Rotator Cuff
AN  - 19352644; 7120003
AB  - BACKGROUND: The optimal suture configuration for arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs is controversial. "Locked" suture configurations, which use a combination of simple and transverse suture loops, have demonstrated better fixation strength than have traditional simple and horizontal mattress techniques. PURPOSE: To compare traditional arthroscopic suture configurations to locked arthroscopic configurations in ability to resist gap formation under cyclic loading. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. METHODS: Crescent-shaped defects were created at the infraspinatus tendon insertion in 32 bovine shoulders. Four arthroscopic suture configurations were tested (8 specimens in each group): simple (group 1), horizontal mattress (group 2), locked mattress (group 3), and locked inverted mattress (group 4). A metal corkscrew suture anchor doubly loaded with No. 2 Fiberwire suture was used for the repairs. A cyclic loading protocol with application of forces from 10 to 180 N for a maximum of 2500 cycles was used. The number of cycles required to form gaps of 5 mm and 10 mm was recorded. RESULTS: The locked mattress configuration (group 3) outperformed all other groups in resisting 5-mm gap formation (P < .0001), requiring a mean of 628 cycles in comparison to 65, 193, and 197 cycles for groups 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Both locked configurations (groups 3 and 4) were superior to traditional simple and horizontal mattress configurations in resisting 10-mm gap formation. CONCLUSION: The locked mattress suturing technique (group 3) provided the most secure tendon fixation of all arthroscopic configurations tested. Clinical Relevance: The use of locked suture configurations for arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs may enhance tendon fixation and limit gap formation in the early postoperative period.

T1  - Dose Particulate Matter Modify the Association Between Temperature and Cardiorespiratory Disease?
AN  - 14799146; 10709473
AB  - Using three parallel Poisson generalized additive models, particulate matter < 10 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM sub(10)) modifying the effects of minimum temperature on cardiorespiratory morbidity in Brisbane, Australia was examined. Exposure to PM sub(10) might directly affect airways through inhalation namely, upper airways, bronchiole, and alveolus. It was observed that PM sub(10) statistically significantly modified the effects of temperature on respiratory and cardiovascular hospital admissions, all nonexternal-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality at different lags. The enhanced adverse temperature effects were found at higher levels of PM sub(10) but no clear evidence emerged for interactive effects on respiratory and cardiovascular emergency visits. It was found that three parallel models produced similar results, which strengthened the validity of findings.

The availability of biomonitoring and toxicology data offered an opportunity to examine how biomonitoring data could be integrated into risk assessment. An analytical method to detect methyl eugenol in human blood samples was well characterized but not readily available. Human studies indicated that methyl eugenol was short-lived in the body, and despite the high potential for exposure through the diet and environments, human blood levels were relatively low. The toxicology studies in animals demonstrated that relatively high-bolus doses administrated orally resulted in hepatic neoplasms. The levels of methyl eugenol detected in biomonitoring studies indicated that human exposure was several orders of magnitude lower than the lowest dose used in the bioassay.

T1  - Personal and Ambient Air Pollution is Associated with Increased Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Children with Asthma
AN  - 14797184; 10709480
AB  - The relationship of daily FE sub(NO) with personal and ambient air pollution exposures in 45 schoolchildren with asthma was examined. Personal active sampler exposures included continuous particular matter < 2.5 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM sub(2.5)), 24-hr nitrogen dioxide PM sub(2.5) elemental and organic carbon, and 24-hr nitrogen dioxide. Ambient exposures included PM sub(2.5), PM sub(2.5) EC and OC, and NO sub(2). Data were analyzed with mixed models controlling for personal temperature, humidity and 10-day period. PM association with airway inflammation in asthmatics might be missed using ambient particles mass, which may not sufficiently represent causal pollutant from fossil fuel combustion.

T1  - An Intervention to Reduce Residential Insecticide Exposure During Pregnancy Among an Inner-City Cohort
AN  - 14797107; 10709472
AB  - An intervention to reduce residential insecticide exposure during pregnancy among an inner-city cohort was presented. Cockroach infestation levels and 2-week integrated indoor air samples were collected at baseline and one month postintervention. The insecticides detected in the indoor air samples were also measured in maternal and umbilical cod blood collected at delivery. Among the intervention group, levels of piperonyl butoxide were significantly lower in indoor air samples after the intervention. Insecticides were detected in maternal blood samples collected at delivery from controls but not from the intervention group. The difference was significant for trans-permethrin (p = 0.008) and of borderline significance (p = 0.1) for cis-permethrin and 2-isopropoxyphenol.

T1  - Decreased Serum Free Testosterone in Workers Exposed to High Levels of Di-n-butyl Phthalate (DBP) and Di-2-ethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP): A Cross-Sectional Study in China
AN  - 14796839; 10709467
AB  - The effect of occupational exposure to high levels of phthalate esters on the balance of gonadotropin and gonadal hormones including luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, free testosterone (fT), and estradiol was assessed. Urine and blood samples of 74 male workers at a factory producing unfoamed polyvinyl chloride flooring exposed to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) were examined and compared with samples from 63 male workers from a construction company, group matched for age and smoking status. Compared to the unexposed workers, the exposed had substantially and significantly elevated concentrations of mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP) and mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP). A modest and significant reduction of serum fT in workers with higher levels of urinary MBP and (MEHP) was found compared with unexposed workers.

T1  - Cardiovascular Effects of Nickel in Ambient Air
AN  - 14796786; 10709469
AB  - Cardiovascular effects of nickel in ambient air were determined. The objective was to assess the most influential fine particulate matter (FPM) components. A mouse model of atherosclerosis was exposed to either filtered air or concentrated FPM (CAPs) in Tuxedo, New York, and the FPM elemental composition was determined for each day. For the CAPs-exposed mice, the average of nickel was 43 ng/m super(3), but on 14 days, there were Ni peaks at ~175 ng/m super(3) and unusually low FPM and vanadium. Electrocardiographic measurements on CAPs-exposed and sham-exposed mice showed Ni to be significantly associated with acute changes in heart rate and its variability. Known biological mechanisms could not account for the significant associations between Ni with the acute cardiac function changes in the mice or with cardiovascular mortality in people at low ambient air concentrations; therefore further research is needed.

T1  - Serum Dioxin, Testosterone, and Subsequent Risk of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Prospective Cohort Study of Air Force Veterans
AN  - 14796746; 10709468
AB  - The effect of serum 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) concentrations on the risk of development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and on serum testosterone levels was assessed. BPH was determined by medical record review and by medical examinations conducted during the study. Data were available for 971 Ranch Hand and 1,266 comparison veterans. In univariate and multivariate analyses, the risk of BPH decreased with increasing serum TCDD in the comparison group. The multivariate risk ratio for BPH in the comparison group was 0.84. Excluding men with prostate cancer, inflammatory or other prostatic disease did not substantially alter the association. TCDD exposure at general population levels was associated with a decreasing risk of BPH with higher exposure levels.

T1  - Gaseous Air Pollutants and Hospitalization for Respiratory Disease in the Neonatal Period
AN  - 14796435; 10709482
AB  - Gaseous air pollutants and hospitalization for respiratory disease in the neonatal period were discussed. Daily time-series were employed and results were adjusted for day of the week, temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. It was observed the percent increases in hospitalization associated with an increase in air pollution equivalent to its interquartile range were 3.35 for O sub(3), 2.85 for NO sub(2) 1.66 and 1.75 for CO. The independent effect of all pollutants combined was 9.61 percent. The results suggested that neonates are experiencing adverse effects of air pollution at current levels in Canada, and that accounts for a significant proportion of hospitalization in the subgroups.

Maternal lead levels were moderately high with a first-trimester blood lead mean value of 7.1 plus or minus 5.1 mu g/dL and 14% of values greater than or equal to 10 mu g/dL. Both maternal plasma and whole blood lead during the first trimester were significant predictors of poorer Mental Development Index (MDI) scores. A 1-SD change in first-trimester plasma lead was associated with a reduction in MDI score of 3.5 points. It was concluded that fetal lead exposure has an adverse effect on neurodevelopment, with an effect that may be most pronounced during the first trimester and best captured by measuring lead in either maternal plasma or whole blood.

T1  - Low-Level Lead Exposure, Metabolic Syndrome, and Heart Rate Variability: The VA Normative Aging Study
AN  - 14796342; 10709477
AB  - The association of low-level lead exposure measured in bone by K-X-ray fluorescence with alteration in heart rate variability (HRV) was examined. HRV measures were taken among 413 elderly men from the Normative Aging Study. MetS was defined as subjects having three or more of the following criteria namely, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low-density lipoprotein, high blood pressure and high fasting glucose. There was a graded, statistically significant reduction in HF-norm and increases in LF[norm] and LF/HF in association with an increase in patella lead as the number of metabolic abnormalities increased. It was also observed that higher patella lead was consistently associated with lower HF[norm] and higher LF[norm] and LF/HF among subjects with MetS or its individual components.

T1  - Serum Dioxin-Like Activity is Associated with Reproductive Parameters in Young Men from the General Flemish Population
AN  - 14796301; 10709470
AB  - The relationship between dioxin-like biological activity in serum and parameters of reproductive status in men from the general population 5 months after a polychlorinated biphenyl and dioxin food-contamination episode in Belgium was investigated. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated enzymatic response elicited by individual serum samples was determined and expressed as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) equivalent concentrations using an established transactivation assay. Age and the frequency of fish and egg consumption were independent positive determinants of serum dioxin-like activity. A more pronounced drop in semen volume of 16.0 percent was observed whereas sperm concentration rose by 25.2 percent. The data suggested an interaction of dioxin-like compounds with the secondary function of the seminal vesicles or prostate, possibly indirectly through an effect on testosterone secretion, at level not affecting spermatogenesis as such.

T1  - Genotoxicants Target Distinct Molecular Networks in Neonatal Neurons
AN  - 14794358; 10709475
AB  - The influence of genotoxicants on cerebellar function during early development by measuring global gene expression changes was examined. Global gene expression was measured in immature cerebellar neurons after treatment with two distinct alkylating agents namely, methylazoxymethanol (MAM) and nitrogen mustard (HN2). Granule cell cultures were treated for 24 hr with MAM or HN2 and examined for cell viability, DNA damage and markers of apoptosis. Neuronal cultures treated with sublethal concentrations of MAM or HN2 were then examined for gene expression using large-scale mouse cDNA microarrays. Gene expression results revealed that global gene expression was predominantly up-regulated by both genotoxicants and the number of down-regulated genes was approximately 3-fold greater for HN2 than for MAM.

T1  - Application of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with nitrogen-selective detection for the analysis of fungicide residues in vegetable samples.
AN  - 68937181; 16887126
AB  - Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD) has been investigated for the separation and quantitation of fungicides in vegetable samples. The detector gas flows (H(2), N(2) and air) were adjusted to achieve maximum response of signal whilst minimizing peak width. The comparison of different column sets and selection of the temperature program were carried out with a mixture of nine N-containing standard fungicides, eight of which were chlorinated. The results from GCxGC-NPD and GCxGC with micro electron-capture detection (muECD) were compared. External calibrations of fungicides were performed over a concentration range from 1 to 1,000 microgL(-1). The peak area calibration curves generally had regression coefficients of R(2)>0.9980, however for iprodione which was observed to undergo on-column degradation, an R(2) of 0.990 was found. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were less than about 74 and 246 ng L(-1), respectively. The intra-day and inter-day RSD values were measured for solutions of concentration 0.100, 0.500 and 1.50 mg L(-1). For the 0.500 mg L(-1) solution, intra- and inter-day precision of peak area and peak height for most of the pesticides were about 2% and 8%, respectively. Excellent linearity was observed for these standards, from 0.001 to 25.00 mg L(-1). The standard mixture peak positions were identified by using GCxGC with quadrupole mass spectrometry (qMS). To illustrate the potential and the versatility of both GCxGC-NPD and GCxGC-muECD, the method was applied to determination of fungicides in a vegetable extract. Decomposition of one fungicide standard (iprodione) during chromatography elution was readily observed in the two-dimensional (2D) GCxGC plot as a diagonal ridge response in the 2D chromatogram between the degrading compound and the decomposition product.

T1  - Parental smoking increases exhaled nitric oxide in young children.
AN  - 68909604; 17012629
AB  - The present study investigated the association between reported parental smoking and exhaled nitric oxide fraction (F(eNO)) in young children. In total, 78 children (24 females, mean age 51.3 weeks) were recruited. Fourteen lived with one smoking parent and eight with two smoking parents. F(eNO) was measured using the modified single-breath technique. Mean+/-sd F(eNO) levels were 33.0+/-18.9, 38.3+/-15.0 and 48.3+/-14.7 ppb for children with no, one and two smoking parents, respectively. There was a significant linear trend across the groups and, after controlling for other relevant factors, a significant difference between the groups. In the present study, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was associated with increased exhaled nitric oxide fraction in young children. Furthermore, there was evidence of a dose-response relationship between childhood exhaled nitric oxide fraction and the number of smoking parents.

T1  - A Case of the Inapplicability of the Rasch Model: Mapping Conceptual Learning
AN  - 62038042; EJ766554
AB  - The basic theory of Rasch measurement applies to situations where a person has a certain level of a trait being investigated, and this level of ability is what determines (to within a measurement error) how well the person does on each item in a test. This paper responds to frequent suggestions from colleagues that the use of Rasch measurement would be profitable in analysing a set of data on students' understanding of decimal notation. We demonstrate misfit to the Rasch model by showing that item difficulty estimates show important variation by year level, that there is significant deviation from expected score curves, and that success on certain splitter items does not imply a student is more likely to score well on other items. The explanation given is that conceptual learning may not always be able to be measured on a scale, which is an essential feature of the Rasch approach. Instead, students move between categories of interpretations, which do not necessarily provide more correct answers even when they are based on an improved understanding of fundamental principles. In this way, the paper serves to highlight the assumptions built into the Rasch model and to discuss its applicability to describing the progress of learning with various characteristics.

T1  - Easier Analysis and Better Reporting: Modelling Ordinal Data in Mathematics Education Research
AN  - 62035386; EJ766553
AB  - This paper presents an examination of the use of Rasch modelling in a major research project, "Improving Middle Years Mathematics and Science" (IMYMS). The project has generated both qualitative and quantitative data, with much of the qualitative data being ordinal in nature. Reporting the results of analyses for a range of audiences necessitates careful, well-designed report formats. Some useful new report formats based on Rasch modelling--the Modified Variable Map, the Ordinal Map, the Threshold Map, and the Annotated Ordinal Map--are illustrated using data from the IMYMS project. The Rasch analysis and the derived reporting formats avoid the pitfalls that exist when working with ordinal data and provide insights into the respondents' views about their experiences in schools unavailable by other approaches.

T1  - Valuing the Student Loan Consolidation Option. Congressional Budget Office Background Paper
AN  - 62034124; ED496556
AB  - Federal student loans include a complex consolidation option that gives borrowers the opportunity to combine several loans into a single loan with a longer term to maturity and, for loans originated before July 2006, to convert from a variable- to a fixed-rate loan. The consolidation option adds substantial costs to the federal student loan program. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) background paper describes the valuation of a typical student loan consolidation option, one in which a variable-rate 10-year loan is converted into a fixed-rate loan with a term to maturity of 20 years. The following are appended: (1) Treatment of Amortization; and (2) Using the Term Structure of Interest Rates to Value the Consolidation Option. (Contains 1 table, 2 figures, and 13 footnotes.)

T1  - Modelling Mathematics Problem Solving Item Responses Using a Multidimensional IRT Model
AN  - 62031330; EJ766555
AB  - This research examined students' responses to mathematics problem-solving tasks and applied a general multidimensional IRT model at the response category level. In doing so, cognitive processes were identified and modelled through item response modelling to extract more information than would be provided using conventional practices in scoring items. More specifically, the study consisted of two parts. The first part involved the development of a mathematics problem-solving framework that was theoretically grounded, drawing upon research in mathematics education and cognitive psychology. The framework was then used as the basis for item development. The second part of the research involved the analysis of the item response data. It was demonstrated that multidimensional IRT models were powerful tools for extracting information from a limited number of item responses. A problem-solving profile for each student could be constructed from the results of IRT scaling. (Contains 4 tables, 1 figure, and 4 footnotes.)

T1  - A Longitudinal Study of Student Understanding of Chance and Data
AN  - 62028036; EJ766552
AB  - This study uses Partial Credit Rasch analysis to study a complex data set of student responses to survey items relating to chance and data. The items were administered in the classroom and collected from 1993 to 2003 in the Australian state of Tasmania. Data were collected from a total of 5514 individual students across Grades 3 to 11 over the decade and of these students 896 provided at least one repeated measure. As students completed a core of common items, Rasch analysis could be performed and all students were subsequently placed on the same logit scale for comparison. The purpose of the analysis is to consider average cohort change over time and trends in performance during the first 10 years after the curriculum was introduced in Tasmania. Implications for the education system and curriculum implementation are considered. The following are appended: (1) Rasch Statistics; (2) Sample Size, Means and Standard Deviations of All 28 Samples; (3) Comparisons of Mean Scores across the Years for Each Grade; and (4) Longitudinal Comparisons.

T1  - Universities and Associative Regional Governance: Australian Evidence in Non-core Metropolitan Regions
AN  - 59778128; 200723915
AB  - Associative governance refers to a networked approach to governance that is based on mutual trust, collaboration, devolution of power and decentralization of decision-making to the lowest level practicable. This is regarded in the new regionalism literature as an essential element of regional innovation systems and learning regions, which turn on social learning. Drawing on this literature, the paper explores the roles performed by three Australian universities located in non-core metropolitan regions in fostering an associative approach to governance. A conceptual distinction between generative and developmental roles is proposed, and this distinction is examined in three university case studies, together with possible explanations of the roles performed by the universities. The research finds that the universities perform a developmental role and, arguably, a third transitional role that sits between the generative and developmental roles. Possible explanations of the roles performed are canvassed relating to policy settings, regional identity and university characteristics, and a number of anomalies are uncovered. These anomalies carry significant implications for policy and for the management of universities in peripheral regions. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Finding "another great world": Australian soldiers and wartime libraries.
AN  - 57691027; 00498356
AB  - This article is an exploration of the relationship between Australian soldiers and wartime libraries in the First and Second World Wars. It examines the way soldiers, as readers, used a variety of libraries, including those of charitable organizations, the education libraries organized by military authorities, and the libraries formed in Prisoner of War camps. These libraries, and the books contained therein, played an important role in shaping the Australian soldier's experience and understanding of war. The story of Australian soldiers and their relationship to wartime libraries provides important insight into the historical relationship of readers and libraries, and into the importance of libraries for specific reading communities.

T1  - HEALing in New Orleans
AN  - 21200795; 11551514
AB  - A year ago Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast states of Louisiana and Mississippi, leaving devastation in its wake--whole communities ripped from their foundations, the displacement of thousands of people from their homes, and a flood of contamination and potential health hazards to be faced. As part of environmental health teams that responded to the disaster, each of us was able to witness firsthand the aftermath of the storm, sights that were both horrendous and deeply compelling to action. A year later, we are excited to announce a new research study that may provide a way for a storm that took so much from so many to give something back. The Head-off Environmental Asthma in Louisiana (HEAL) project will assess the impact on asthma in New Orleans children of environmental health conditions that were caused and exacerbated by Hurricane Katrina, as well as implement an intervention program to address these problems.

T1  - Caring for Children Amidst Chaos: Guidelines to Maintain Health
AN  - 21197864; 11551592
AB  - It is a simple fact that young children are among those most likely to die during crises of famine, war, and natural disasters. Relief agencies responding to these events do their utmost to save as many young lives as possible as well as maintain the standard of health care enjoyed before disaster hit. A new report suggests that these agencies' efficiency in safeguarding child health might be improved if a set of common, comprehensive, evidence-based clinical guidelines were developed and available for use by all. Generating a single resource will require a great deal of time, money, and effort as well as answers to questions such as who should lead the effort.

T1  - Children Show Highest Levels of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers in a California Family of Four: A Case Study
AN  - 21197793; 11551573
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a major class of flame retardants, are ubiquitous environmental contaminants with particularly high concentrations in humans from the United States. This study is a first attempt to report and compare PBDE concentrations in blood drawn from a family. Serum samples from family members collected at two sampling occasions 90 days apart were analyzed for PBDE congeners. Concentrations of the lower-brominated PBDEs were similar at the two sampling times for each family member, with children's levels 2- to 5-fold higher than those of their parents. Concentrations of, for example, 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) varied from 32 ng/g lipid weight (lw) in the father to 60, 137, and 245 ng/g lw in the mother, child, and toddler, respectively. Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) concentrations differed significantly between the two samplings. September concentrations in the father, mother, child, and toddler were 23, 14, 143, and 233 ng/g lw, respectively. December concentrations (duplicate results from the laboratory) were 2 and 3, 4 and 4, 9 and 12, and 19 and 26 ng/g lw, respectively. Parents' summation operatorPBDE concentrations approached U.S. median concentrations, with children's concentrations near the maximum (top 5%) found in U.S. adults. The youngest child had the highest concentrations of all PBDE congeners, suggesting that younger children are more exposed to PBDEs than are adults. Our estimates indicate that house dust contributes to children's higher PBDE levels. BDE-209 levels for all family members were 10-fold lower at the second sampling. The short half-life of BDE-209 (15 days) indicates that BDE-209 levels can decrease rapidly in response to decreased exposures. This case study suggests that children are at higher risk for PBDE exposures and, accordingly, face higher risks of PBDE-related health effects than adults.

T1  - Public Health Impact of Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
AN  - 21194709; 11551581
AB  - INTRODUCTION: The association between exposure to extremely low-frequency electric and magnetic fields (ELF) and childhood leukemia has led to the classification of magnetic fields by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a "possible human carcinogen." This association is regarded as the critical effect in risk assessment. Creating effective policy in light of widespread exposure and the undisputed value of safe, reliable, and economic electricity to society is difficult and requires estimates of the potential public health impact and associated uncertainties. OBJECTIVES: Although a causal relationship between magnetic fields and childhood leukemia has not been established, we present estimates of the possible pubic health impact using attributable fractions to provide a potentially useful input into policy analysis under different scenarios. METHODS: Using ELF exposure distributions from various countries and dose-response functions from two pooled analyses, we calculate country-specific and worldwide estimates of attributable fractions (AFs) and attributable cases. RESULTS: Even given a wide range of assumptions, we find that the AF remains 10%, with point estimates ranging from 1% to about 4%. For small countries with low exposure, the number of attributable cases is less than one extra case per year. Worldwide the range is from 100 to 2,400 cases possibly attributable to ELF exposure. CONCLUSION: The fraction of childhood leukemia cases possibly attributable to ELF exposure across the globe appears to be small. There remain, however, a number of uncertainties in these AF estimates, particularly in the exposure distributions.

T1  - Cancer Incidence among Pesticide Applicators Exposed to Dicamba in the Agricultural Health Study
AN  - 21193735; 11551583
AB  - BACKGROUND: Dicamba is an herbicide commonly applied to crops in the United States and abroad. We evaluated cancer incidence among pesticide applicators exposed to dicamba in the Agricultural Health Study, a prospective cohort of licensed pesticide applicators in North Carolina and Iowa. METHODS: Detailed pesticide exposure information was obtained through a self-administered questionnaire completed from 1993 to 1997. Cancer incidence was followed through 31 December 2002 by linkage to state cancer registries. We used Poisson regression to estimate rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals for cancer subtypes by tertiles of dicamba exposure. Two dicamba exposure metrics were used: lifetime exposure days and intensity-weighted lifetime exposure days (lifetime days x intensity score). RESULTS: A total of 41,969 applicators were included in the analysis, and 22,036 (52.5%) reported ever using dicamba. Exposure was not associated with overall cancer incidence nor were there strong associations with any specific type of cancer. When the reference group comprised low-exposed applicators, we observed a positive trend in risk between lifetime exposure days and lung cancer (p = 0.02), but none of the individual point estimates was significantly elevated. We also observed significant trends of increasing risk for colon cancer for both lifetime exposure days and intensity-weighted lifetime days, although these results are largely due to elevated risk at the highest exposure level. There was no apparent risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS: Although associations between exposure and lung and colon cancer were observed, we did not find clear evidence for an association between dicamba exposure and cancer risk.

T1  - Nitrate Intake Does Not Influence Bladder Cancer Risk: The Netherlands Cohort Study
AN  - 21191755; 11551582
AB  - OBJECTIVES: N-nitroso compounds, endogenously formed from nitrate-derived nitrite, are suspected to be important bladder carcinogens. However, the association between nitrate exposure from food or drinking water and bladder cancer has not been substantially investigated in epidemiologic studies. METHODS: We evaluated the associations between nitrate exposure and bladder cancer in the Netherlands Cohort Study, conducted among 120,852 men and women, 55-69 years of age at entry. Information on nitrate from diet was collected via a food frequency questionnaire in 1986 and a database on nitrate content of foods. Individual nitrate exposures from beverages prepared with tap water were calculated by linking the postal code of individual residence at baseline to water company data. After 9.3 years of follow-up and after excluding subjects with incomplete or inconsistent dietary data, 889 cases and 4,441 subcohort members were available for multivariate analyses. We calculated incidence rate ratios (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox regression analyses. We also evaluated possible effect modification of dietary intake of vitamins C and E (low/high) and cigarette smoking (never/ever). RESULTS: The multivariate RRs for nitrate exposure from food, drinking water, and estimated total nitrate exposure were 1.06 (95% CI, 0.81-1.31), 1.06 (95% CI, 0.82-1.37), and 1.09 (95% CI, 0.84-1.42), respectively, comparing the highest to the lowest quintiles of intake. Dietary intake of vitamins C and E (low/high) and cigarette smoking (never/ever) had no significant impact on these results. CONCLUSION: Although the association between nitrate exposure and bladder cancer risk is biologically plausible, our results in this study do not support an association between nitrate exposure and bladder cancer risk.

T1  - Supplementing the Traditional Institutional Review Board with an Environmental Health and Community Review Board
AN  - 21176072; 11551565
AB  - BACKGROUND: Community-based research often involves additional ethical, legal, and social considerations beyond those of the specific individuals involved in the study. The traditional institutional review board (IRB) typically focuses on protecting the rights and ensuring the safety of the individuals involved. For projects involving community members, IRBs should be more sensitive to issues related to the broader community concerns. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this article is to discuss the concept of community-based participatory research and the shortcomings of the traditional IRBs in dealing with ethical issues associated with broader community concerns such as implications for family members, neighborhood groups, and local businesses. I examine the rationale and benefits for expanding the roles and responsibilities of review boards related to community-based issues. DISCUSSION: I propose the development of environmental health and community review boards (EHCRBs) that combine the fundamental responsibilities and ethical concept of the traditional review boards with an expanded ethical construct of dignity, veracity, sustainability, and justice, with an added emphasis on community. CONCLUSIONS: Only by acknowledging the needs of and working with the community can we ensure ethically based and socially responsible research. An EHCRB will allow researchers and community members to more fully address their mutual interest in conducting scientific, ethical, and socially responsible research.

T1  - Registering Skepticism: Does the EPA's Pesticide Review Protect Children?
AN  - 21169224; 11551593
AB  - In August 2006, the EPA finalized a 10-year review of the safety of U.S. food-use pesticides. Although the agency announced the milestone with confidence in the thoroughness of its review, environmental activists and some EPA scientists are skeptical of how good a job the agency did. Concerns especially center around approvals for organophosphate and carbamate pesticides that may yet be proven neurotoxic, especially in developing fetuses, infants, and children.

T1  - Agricultural Pesticide Use and Hypospadias in Eastern Arkansas
AN  - 21169147; 11551571
AB  - INTRODUCTION: We assessed the relationship between hypospadias and proximity to agricultural pesticide applications using a GIS-based exposure method. METHODS: We obtained information for 354 cases of hypospadias born between 1998 and 2002 in eastern Arkansas; 727 controls were selected from birth certificates. We classified exposure on pounds of pesticides (estimated by crop type) applied or persisting within 500 m of each subject's home during gestational weeks 6 to 16. We restricted our analyses to 38 pesticides with some evidence of reproductive, developmental, estrogenic, and/or antiandrogenic effects. We estimated timing of pesticide applications using crop phenology and published records. RESULTS: Gestational age at birth [odds ratio (OR) = 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.83-0.99], parity (OR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.65-0.95), and delaying prenatal care until the third trimester (OR = 4.04; 95% CI, 1.46-11.23) were significantly associated with hypospadias. Risk of hypospadias increased by 8% for every 0.05-pound increase in estimated exposure to diclofop-methyl use (OR = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.15). Pesticide applications in aggregate (OR = 0.82; 95% CI, 0.70-0.96) and applications of alachlor (OR = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35-0.89) and permethrin (OR = 0.37; 95% CI, 0.16-0.86) were negatively associated with hypospadias. CONCLUSIONS: Except for diclofop-methyl, we did not find evidence that estimated exposure to pesticides known to have reproductive, developmental, or endocrine-disrupting effects increases risk of hypospadias. Further research on the potential effects of exposure to diclofop-methyl is recommended.

T1  - Blood Lead Levels and Death from All Causes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Cancer: Results from the NHANES III Mortality Study
AN  - 21168341; 11551580
AB  - BACKGROUND: Analyses of mortality data for participants examined in 1976-1980 in the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) suggested an increased risk of mortality at blood lead levels 20 microg/dL. Blood lead levels have decreased markedly since the late 1970s. In NHANES III, conducted during 1988-1994, few adults had levels 20 microg/dL. OBJECTIVE: Our objective in this study was to determine the risk of mortality in relation to lower blood lead levels observed for adult participants of NHANES III. METHODS: We analyzed mortality information for 9,757 participants who had a blood lead measurement and who were or = 40 years of age at the baseline examination. Using blood lead levels categorized as 5, 5 to 10, and or = 10 microg/dL, we determined the relative risk of mortality from all causes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease through Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. RESULTS: Using blood lead levels 5 microg/dL as the referent, we determined that the relative risk of mortality from all causes was 1.24 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-1.48] for those with blood levels of 5-9 microg/dL and 1.59 (95% CI, 1.28-1.98) for those with blood levels or = 10 microg/dL (p for trend 0.001). The magnitude of risk was similar for deaths due to cardiovascular disease and cancer, and tests for trend were statistically significant (p 0.01) for both causes of death. CONCLUSION: In a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population, blood lead levels as low as 5-9 mug/dL were associated with an increased risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

T1  - Persistence of Symptoms in Veterans of the First Gulf War: 5-Year Follow-up
AN  - 21168303; 11551577
AB  - BACKGROUND: During the 1990-1991 Gulf War, approximately 700,000 U.S. troops were deployed to the Persian Gulf theater of operations. Of that number, approximately 100,000 have presented medical complaints through various registry and examination programs. OBJECTIVES: Widespread symptomatic illness without defining physical features has been reported among veterans of the 1991 Gulf War. We ascertained changes in symptom status between an initial 1995 symptom evaluation and a follow-up in 2000. METHODS: We assessed mailed symptom survey questionnaires for 390 previously surveyed members of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf War Registry for changes over the 5-year interval in terms of number and severity of symptoms. RESULTS: For the cohort as a whole, we found no significant changes in symptom number or severity. Those initially more symptomatic in 1995 showed some improvement over time, but remained much more highly symptomatic than those who had lesser initial symptomatology. CONCLUSIONS: The symptom outbreak following the 1991 Gulf War has not abated over time in registry veterans, suggesting substantial need for better understanding and care for these veterans.

T1  - Age- and Concentration-Dependent Elimination Half-Life of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in Seveso Children
AN  - 21168267; 11551570
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Pharmacokinetic and statistical analyses are reported to elucidate key variables affecting 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) elimination in children and adolescents. DESIGN: We used blood concentrations to calculate TCDD elimination half-life. Variables examined by statistical analysis include age, latency from exposure, sex, TCDD concentration and quantity in the body, severity of chloracne response, body mass index, and body fat mass. PARTICIPANTS: Blood was collected from 1976 to 1993 from residents of Seveso, Italy, who were 18 years of age at the time of a nearby trichlorophenol reactor explosion in July 1976. RESULTS: TCDD half-life in persons 18 years of age averaged 1.6 years while those or =18 years of age averaged 3.2 years. Half-life is strongly associated with age, showing a cohort average increase of 0.12 year half-life per year of age or time since exposure. A significant concentration-dependency is also identified, showing shorter half-lives for TCDD concentrations 400 ppt for children 12 years of age and 700 ppt when including adults. Moderate correlations are also observed between half-life and body mass index, body fat mass, TCDD mass, and chloracne response. CONCLUSIONS: Children and adolescents have shorter TCDD half-lives and a slower rate of increase in half-life than adults, and this effect is augmented at higher body burdens. RELEVANCE: Modeling of TCDD blood concentrations or body burden in humans should take into account the markedly shorter elimination half-life observed in children and adolescents and concentration-dependent effects observed in persons 400-700 ppt.

T1  - Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) Levels in an Expanded Market Basket Survey of U.S. Food and Estimated PBDE Dietary Intake by Age and Sex
AN  - 21139955; 11551584
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Our objectives in this study were to expand a previously reported U.S. market basket survey using a larger sample size and to estimate levels of PBDE intake from food for the U.S. general population by sex and age. METHODS: We measured concentrations of 13 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in food in 62 food samples. In addition, we estimated levels of PBDE intake from food for the U.S. general population by age (birth through or = 60 years of age) and sex. RESULTS: In food samples, concentrations of total PBDEs varied from 7.9 pg/g (parts per trillion) in milk to 3,726 pg/g in canned sardines. Fish were highest in PBDEs (mean, 1,120 pg/g; median, 616 pg/g; range, 11.14-3,726 pg/g). This was followed by meat (mean, 383 pg/g; median, 190 pg/g; range, 39-1,426 pg/g) and dairy products (mean, 116 pg/g; median, 32.2 pg/g; range, 7.9-683 pg/g). However, using estimates for food consumption (excluding nursing infants), meat accounted for the highest U.S. dietary PBDE intake, followed by dairy and fish, with almost equal contributions. Adult females had lower dietary intake of PBDEs than did adult males, based on body weight. We estimated PBDE intake from food to be 307 ng/kg/day for nursing infants and from 2 ng/kg/day at 2-5 years of age for both males and females to 0.9 ng/kg/day in adult females. CONCLUSION: Dietary exposure alone does not appear to account for the very high body burdens measured. The indoor environment (dust, air) may play an important role in PBDE body burdens in addition to food.

T1  - An Exploration of Ethical Issues in Research in Children's Health and the Environment
AN  - 21139946; 11551569
AB  - The consideration of ethical issues relating to pediatric environmental health is a recent phenomenon. Discussions of biomedical ethics, research on children, and environmental health research have a longer history. In the late 1990s, researchers at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, undertook a study to compare the effectiveness of several methods of reducing lead risk in housing. In a preliminary finding in the case of Grimes v. Kennedy Krieger Institute, Inc., a Maryland court questioned the ethics of performing research on children when there is no prospect of direct benefit to those children and whether parents can consent to such research. This case dramatically raised the profile of ethical issues among the pediatric environmental health research community. To broaden the discussion of these issues and in response to the Kennedy-Krieger case, the Children's Environmental Health Network held a working meeting on 5 and 6 March 2004 to explore this topic. The articles in this mini-monograph were prepared by the authors as a result of the workshop and represent their opinions. This article is an introduction to the workshop and a summary of the articles to follow.

T1  - Biological control of vertebrate pests using virally vectored immunocontraception
AN  - 20834918; 7083969
AB  - Species-specific viruses are being genetically engineered to produce contraceptive biological controls for pest animals such as mice, rabbits and foxes. The virus vaccines are intended to trigger an autoimmune response in the target animals that interferes with their fertility in a process termed virally vectored immunocontraception. Laboratory experiments have shown that high levels of infertility can be induced in mice infected with recombinant murine cytomegalovirus and ectromelia virus expressing reproductive antigens as well as in rabbits using myxoma virus vectors. The strategies used to produce and deliver species-specific immunocontraceptive vaccines to free-living wildlife are presented in this review. Discussion includes coverage of the likely safety of the proposed vaccines as well as the implications of the approach for fertility control in other species.

T1  - The prediction of bacterial transcription start sites using SVMS
AN  - 20239026; 7198909
AB  - Identifying promoters is the key to understanding gene expression in bacteria. Promoters lie in tightly constrained positions relative to the transcription start site (TSS). In this paper, we address the problem of predicting transcription start sites in Escherichia coli. Knowing the TSS position, one can then predict the promoter position to within a few base pairs, and vice versa. The accepted method for promoter prediction is to use a pair of position weight matrices (PWMs), which define conserved motifs at the sigma-factor binding site. However this method is known to result in a large number of false positive predictions, thereby limiting its usefulness to the experimental biologist. We adopt an alternative approach based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) using a modified mismatch spectrum kernel. Our modifications involve tagging the motifs with their location, and selectively pruning the feature set. We quantify the performance of several SVM models and a PWM model using a performance metric of area under the detection-error tradeoff (DET) curve. SVM models are shown to outperform the PWM on a biologically realistic TSS prediction task. We also describe a more broadly applicable peak scoring technique which reduces the number of false positive predictions, greatly enhancing the utility of our results.

T1  - Prominent Solubilizing Effect of 2-Hydroxypropyl- beta -cyclodextrin on a New Thiazolidine Derivative (FPFS-410) with Antidiabetic and Lipid-lowering Activities through Inclusion Complex Formation
AN  - 20202616; 7283408
AB  - 2-(N-Cyanoimino)-5-{(E)-4-styrylbenzylidene}-4-oxothiazolidine (FPFS-410) is a newly synthesized thiazolidine derivative having not only antidiabetic but also lipid-lowering activities. However, this compound has an extremely low aqueous solubility (2.8 x 10 super(-8) M in phosphate buffer at 25 degree C). In this study, we attempted to improve the solubility of FPFS-410 in water, by means of the complexation with 2-hydroxypropyl- beta -cyclodextrin (HP- beta -CyD). Further, the interaction of FPFS-410 with HP- beta -CyD in 50% v/v methanol/water mixed solution was investigated by ultraviolet and super(1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic methods, because the solubility of FPFS-410 in water was too low to study quantitatively the interaction. The results of the solubility method indicated that HP- beta -CyD had a markedly high solubilizing ability to FPFS-410, e.g., the solubility of the compound was increased 200,000-fold by the addition of 40 mM HP- beta -CyD. The continuous variation plot of the FPFS-410/HP- beta -CyD system in 50% v/v methanol/water solution gave a maximum at a host/guest molar ratio of 1:1. super(1)H-NMR spectroscopic studies suggested that the stilbene moiety of FPFS-410 is preferably included in the HP- beta -CyD cavity to form the 1:1 complex in 50% v/v methanol/water solution. The present results suggest that HP- beta -CyD is useful for improvement of the oral bioavailability of FPFS-410.

T1  - Recent Aspect of Cyclodextrin-Based Drug Delivery System
AN  - 19986913; 7283386
AB  - The pharmaceutically useful cyclodextrins (CyDs) are classified into hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and ionic derivatives. These CyDs can serve as multi-functional drug carriers, through the formation of inclusion complex or the form of CyD/drug conjugate. In addition, the combined use of different CyDs and/or pharmaceutical excipients is capable of alleviating the undesirable properties of drug molecules, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. This contribution outlines the potential use of CyDs in the design and evaluation of CyD-based drug formulation, focusing on their ability to enhance the drug absorption across biological barriers, the ability to control the rate and time profiles of drug release, and the ability to deliver a drug to targeted site.

AB  - The effects of 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-acetyl- beta -cyclodextrins (DMA- beta -CyD) with various degrees of substitution (DS) of an acetyl group of 1.5, 3.8, 6.3 and 7, which are abbreviated to DMA2- beta -CyD, DMA4- beta -CyD, DMA6- beta -CyD and DMA7- beta -CyD, respectively, on murine macrophage activation and endotoxin shock induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were examined. Of four DMA- beta -CyDs used in the present study, cytotoxicity of DMA- beta -CyDs in RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage-like cell line, decreased with an increase in the DS values of DMA- beta -CyD, and DMA7- beta -CyD had no cytotoxicity on RAW264.7 cells up to 100 mM. DMA2- beta -CyD and DMA7- beta -CyD at the concentration of 5 mM had greater inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with LPS than DMA4- beta -CyD and DMA6- beta -CyD. In addition, these inhibitory effects of DMA2- beta -CyD and DMA7- beta -CyD were concentration-dependent. In the in vivo study, all of the mice died within 12 h after intraperitoneal administration of the solution containing LPS and d-galactosamine. When 100 mM DMA7- beta -CyD was concomitantly administered with both LPS and d-galactosamine intraperitoneally in mice, the survival rate significantly increased, but DMA4- beta -CyD and DMA6- beta -CyD did not. In conclusion, we revealed that DS values of DMA- beta -CyDs strikingly affect not only the cytotoxic activity but also the inhibitory effects of LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells and fatality of endotoxin shock mice induced by LPS and d-galactosamine. These results suggest the potential use of DMA7- beta -CyD as an antagonist of LPS-induced endotoxin shock.

T1  - Carriage of Multiple Subtypes of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Intensive Care Unit Patients
AN  - 19647652; 7399597
AB  - OBJECTIVE. To determine how consistently patients are colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at various sites and how many subtypes can be carried simultaneously by a single patient. setting. A 28-bed Intensive care unit in a tertiary-care referral hospital. methods. A total of 1,181 patients were screened by culture of swab specimens obtained from the nose, throat, groin, and axilla on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), twice weekly during their ICU stay, and at discharge. RESULTS. MRSA was isolated at least once from 224 patients. Of these isolates, 359 were selected from 32 patients to be subtyped using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The rate of compliance with collection of swab specimens was 79.9%. The combination of sites colonized varied frequently over time for many patients. Of patients who had swab specimens obtained twice in 1 day, 8.7% had discordant results from the 2 swab sets. No patient had a clinical isolate that was not of an identical subtype to an isolate from an anatomical site that was sampled for screening. Half the patients carried multiple subtypes during their stay, with up to 4 subtypes per patient. CONCLUSIONS. The findings of this study may indicate that these patients have been colonized with MRSA on more than one occasion, possibly because of multiple breaches in infection control procedure. In MRSA-colonized patients, anatomical sites were intermittently colonized and carriage of multiple subtypes was common. These findings indicate that MRSA carriage is not a fixed state but may vary over time.

T1  - Does Bank Monitoring Influence Loan Contract Terms?
AN  - 19616466; 7335099
AB  - We examine the impact of bank monitoring on loan contract terms using a new proxy for monitoring ability based on the labor input into monitoring. We show in out-of-sample tests that the proxy is a statistically and economically significant determinant of future loan quality. Accounting for clustering of observations by lead bank, and controlling for borrower characteristics, contract features and bank risk, we find a statistically significant direct relationship between monitoring ability and loan maturity and a statistically and economically significant direct relationship between monitoring ability and the loan yield spread. The relationships are particularly strong for working capital loans.

T1  - Potential Use of Dendrimer/ alpha -Cyclodextrin Conjugate as a Novel Carrier for Small Interfering RNA (siRNA)
AN  - 19575693; 7283399
AB  - RNA interference (RNAi) is the mechanism of gene silencing-mediated messenger RNA degradation by small interference RNA (siRNA), which becomes a powerful tool for genetic analysis and novel gene therapy. However, one of the major obstacles for siRNA delivery is the difficulty to cross the biological membrane due to its hydrophilicity and high molecular weight. We evaluated the potential use of the starburst polyamidoamine dendrimer (generation 3) conjugate with alpha -cyclodextrin ( alpha -CyD) having an average degree of substitution of 2.4 ( alpha -CDE conjugate) as a siRNA carrier for RNAi. The ternary complex composed of pGL2 control vector (pDNA)/pGL2 siRNA/ alpha -CDE conjugate showed higher pGL2 siRNA sequence-specific gene silencing effects without off-target effects than those of commercial transfection reagents such as Lipofectamine registered 2000 (LP), TransFast registered (TF) and Lipofectin registered (LF). These results suggest that alpha -CDE conjugate has the potential to be a novel carrier for siRNA.

T1  - Modulation of neural activity by angle of rotation during imagined spatial transformations
AN  - 19460656; 7072540
AB  - Imagined spatial transformations of objects (e.g., mental rotation) and the self (e.g., perspective taking) are psychologically dissociable. In mental rotation, the viewer transforms the location or orientation of an object relative to stable egocentric and environmental reference frames. In imagined shifts of perspective, the viewers egocentric reference frame is transformed with respect to stable objects and environment. Using fMRI, we showed that during mental transformations of objects the right superior parietal cortex exhibited a positive linear relationship between hemodynamic response and degrees of rotation. By contrast, during imagined transformations of the self, the same regions exhibited a negative linear trend. We interpret this finding in terms of the role of parietal cortex in coding the locations of objects in relation to the body.

T1  - Experimental and computational analyses of the effects of slice distortion from a metallic sphere in an MRI phantom
AN  - 19459649; 7072249
AB  - Susceptibility artifacts due to metallic prostheses are a major problem in clinical magnetic resonance imaging. We theoretically and experimentally analyze slice distortion arising from susceptibility differences in a phantom consisting of a stainless steel ball bearing embedded in agarose gel. To relate the observed image artifacts to slice distortion, we simulate images produced by 2D and 3D spin-echo (SE) and a view angle tilting (VAT) sequence. Two-dimensional SE sequences suffer from extreme slice distortion when a metal prosthesis is present, unlike 3D SE sequences for which - since slices are phase-encoded - distortion of the slice profile is minimized, provided the selected slab is larger than the region of interest. In a VAT sequence, artifacts are reduced by the application of a gradient along the slice direction during readout. However, VAT does not correct for the excitation slice profile, which results in the excitation of spins outside the desired slice location and can lead to incorrect anatomical information in MR images. We propose that the best sequences for imaging in the presence of a metal prosthesis utilize 3D acquisition, with phase encoding replacing slice selection to minimize slice distortion, combined with excitation and readout gradient strengths at their maximum values.

T1  - The impact of kleptoparasitic invasions on the evolution of gall-size in social and solitary Australian Acacia thrips
AN  - 19387322; 7149922
AB  - Many species of gall-inducing Acacia thrips are attacked by kleptoparasitic thrips who enter the gall, destroy the occupants, and then use the gall for producing their own offspring. The hypothesis tested here is that pressure exerted by kleptoparasites (genus Koptothrips) not only provoked the evolution of soldiers in the gall-inducing clade, but have also influenced the evolution of gall size and morphology. Various size dimensions of invaded galls were compared to those of uninvaded galls using data from six gall-inducing species and their kleptoparasites. For the non-social gall-inducing species (K. ellobus and K. nicholsoni) invaded galls showed no significant size differences from galls that had not been invaded. For the four social gall-inducing species (K, habrus, K. intermedius, K. waterhousei and K. morrisi) invaded galls were significantly narrower and/or shorter than uninvaded galls. Galls of social species that had not been invaded and contained adult soldiers were significantly larger than galls where soldiers were still at a larval stage, suggesting that gall size is related to gall age in these species. An hypothesis is proposed that links the timing of invasion by kleptoparasites to size of the host gall: induction of a smaller gall by host founders will reduce the period of vulnerability to invasion (before soldiers become adults) for social thrips by allowing foundresses in these smaller galls to begin laying soldier-destined eggs relatively sooner.

T1  - Russian oil and gas challenges
AN  - 1734265026; 2015-107882
AB  - This concise overview of Russian oil and gas policy and activities comes from an independent research report to the US Congress by Bernard A. Gelb, specialist in industry economics, resources, science, and industry division, Congressional Research Service, the Library of Congress. This is a slightly abridged, unreferenced version, but the specific discussion of US interests has been left unedited. All photos in this article are from the major ongoing Sakhalin-1 project in the Russian Far East. The Russian Federation is a major player in world energy markets. It has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country and is among the top 10 countries in proven oil reserves. It is the world's largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil producer and exporter, and the third largest energy consumer. Oil and gas reserves and production Most of Russia's 60-72 billion barrels of proven oil reserves are located in Western Siberia, between the Ural Mountains and the Central Siberian Plateau. This ample endowment made the Soviet Union a major world oil producer in the 1980s, reaching production of 12.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 1988. Roughly 25% of Russia's oil reserves and 6% of its gas reserves are on Sakhalin Island in the far eastern region of the country, just north of Japan. Russian oil production, which had begun to decline before the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, fell more steeply afterward - to less than six million bbl/d in 1997 and 1998. State-mandated production surges had accelerated depletion of the large Western Siberian fields and the Soviet central planning system collapsed. Russian oil output started to recover in 1999. Many analysts attribute this to privatization of the industry, which clarified incentives and shifted activity to less expensive production. Increases in world oil prices, application of technology that was standard practice in the West, and rejuvenation of old oil fields helped boost output. After-effects of the 1998 financial crisis and subsequent devaluation of the ruble may well have contributed. After reaching about nine million bbl/d in 2004 depending upon the estimating source, Russian oil production continued to rise in 2005, but only slightly. Several consortia have begun producing and exporting oil (mainly to East Asia at present) from Sakhalin island. They also plan to export gas to the US via pipelines to the Siberian mainland and then from liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals. With about 1700 trillion cu ft (tcf), Russia has the world's largest natural gas reserves. In 2004, it was the world's largest natural gas producer and the world's largest exporter. However, its natural gas industry has not done as well as its oil industry in recent years, as production has increased only a little and exports only have re-attained their level of the late 1990s. Growth of Russia's natural gas sector has been impaired by aging fields, near monopolistic domination over the industry by Gazprom (with substantial government holdings), state regulation, and insufficient export pipelines. Gazprom, Russia's 51%-owned state-run natural gas monopoly, holds more than one-fourth of the world's natural gas reserves, produces nearly 90% of Russia's natural gas, and operates the country's natural gas pipeline network. The company's tax payments account for around 25% of Russian federal tax revenues. Gazprom is heavily regulated, however. By law, it must supply the natural gas used to heat and power Russia's domestic market at government-regulated below-market prices. Potential growth of both oil and natural gas production in Russia is limited by the lack of full introduction of the most modern western oil and gas exploration, development, and production technology.

T1  - Polybrominated Biphenyl Ether (PBDE) Levels in an Expanded Market Basket Survey of U.S. Food and Estimated PBDE Dietary Intake by Age and Sex
AN  - 14793975; 10705706
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) levels in an expanded market basket survey of U.S. food and estimated PBDE dietary intake by age and sex are investigated. The concentrations of 12 PBDE congeners in food in 62 food samples are measured. In food samples, concentrations of total PBDEs vary from 7.9 pg/g in milk to 3,726 pg/g in canned sardines. Fish are highest in PBDEs. However, using estimates for food consumption, meat accounts for the highest U.S. dietary PBDE intake, followed by dairy and fish, with almost equal contributions. It is found that adult females have lower dietary intake of PBDEs than do adult males, based on body weight.

T1  - Trials and Tribulations of Protecting Children from Environmental Hazards
AN  - 14793259; 10705718
AB  - Trials and tribulations of protecting children from environmental hazards are discussed. Society is increasingly aware of the profound impacts that the environment has on children's health. The trends underscore the ethical imperative to develop a framework to protect children from environmental hazards. Such a framework must include regulations to test new chemicals and other potential hazards before they are marketed. A strategy to conduct research necessary to protect children from persistent hazards that are widely dispersed in their environment is presented. Stronger regulatory mechanisms to eliminate human exposures to recognized or suspected toxicants, and guidelines about the ethical conduct of research and the role of experimental trials that test the efficacy and safety to interventions to prevent or ameliorate children's exposure to persistent toxicants or hazards that are widely dispersed in their environment are proposed.

T1  - Organophosphate Insecticides Target the Serotonergic System in Developing Rat Brain Regions: Disparate Effects of Diazinon and Parathion at Doses Spanning the Threshold for Cholinesterase Inhibition
AN  - 14792487; 10705711
AB  - The disparate effects of diazinon and parathion at doses spanning the threshold of cholinesterase inhibition are investigated. In the developing brain, serotonin (5HT) systems are the most sensitive to disruption by organophosphates. The neonatal rats are exposed to daily doses of diazinon or parathion on postnatal days (PND) 1-4 and 5HT receptors and the 5HT transporter in brainstem and forebrain are evaluated on PND5, focusing on doses of each agent below the maximum tolerated dose and spanning the threshold for cholinesterase inhibition: 0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg for diazinon, and 0.02, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg for parathion. Diazinon evokes a decrease in the brainstem and in increase in the forebrain, again similar to that seen for chlorpyrifos; this pattern is typical of nerve terminals and reactive sprouting.

T1  - Chlorinated Pool Attendance, Atopy, and the Risk of Asthma During Childhood
AN  - 14788563; 10705713
AB  - Chlorinated pool attendance, atopy, and the risk of asthma during childhood are presented. The pool chlorine hypothesis postulates that the rise in childhood asthma in the developed world can result at least partly from the increasing exposure of children to toxic gases and aerosols contaminating the air of indoor chlorinated pools. It is observed that 341 schoolchildren 10-13 years of age, who attended at a variable rate the same public pool in Brussels, are studied. Examination of the children includes a questionnaire, an exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) test, and the measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and total and aeroallergen-specific serum IgE. The findings support the hypothesis implicating pool chlorine in the rise of childhood asthma in industrialized countries.

T1  - The Economic Impact of Early Life Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure: Early Intervention for Developmental Delay
AN  - 14788186; 10705715
AB  - The economic impact of early life environmental tobacco smoke exposure (ETS) is investigated. Early-life exposure to ETS can result in developmental delay as well as childhood asthma and increased and increased risk of cancer. The high cost of childhood asthma related to ETS exposure is widely recognized; however, the economic impact of ETS-related developmental delay is less well understood. The Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) has reported adverse effects of prenatal ETS exposure on child development in a cohort of minority women and children in New York City. Using the environmentally attributable fraction (EAF) approach, the annual cost of one aspect of ETS-related developmental delay: Early Intervention Services, is estimated. The high annual cost of just one aspect of developmental delay due to prenatal exposure to ETS provides further impetus for increased prevention efforts namely, education programs to promote smoke-free homes, additional cigarette taxes, and subsidizing of smoking cessation programs.

T1  - Agricultural Pesticide Use and Hyospadias in Eastern Arkansas
AN  - 14787218; 10705716
AB  - The relationship between hypospadias and proximity to agricultural pesticide applications using a GIS-based exposure method is presented. Information for 354 cases of hypospadias born between 1998 and 2002 in eastern Arkansas is obtained: 727 controls are selected from birth certificates. The exposure is classified on pounds of pesticides applied to persisting within 500 m of each subject's home during gestational weeks 6 to 16. The analysis is restricted to 38 pesticides with some evidence of reproductive, developmental, estrogenic, and/or antiandrogenic effects. The timing of pesticide applications using crop phenology and published records is estimated. Further research on the potential effects of exposure to diclofop-methyl is recommended.
