T1 - Txp40, a ubiquitous insecticidal toxin protein from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria.
AN - 67636014; 16461722
AB - Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are gram-negative bacteria that produce a range of proteins that are toxic to insects. We recently identified a novel 42-kDa protein from Xenorhabdus nematophila that was lethal to the larvae of insects such as Galleria mellonella and Helicoverpa armigera when it was injected at doses of 30 to 40 ng/g larvae. In the present work, the toxin gene txp40 was identified in another 59 strains of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, indicating that it is both highly conserved and widespread among these bacteria. Recombinant toxin protein was shown to be active against a variety of insect species by direct injection into the larvae of the lepidopteran species G. mellonella, H. armigera, and Plodia interpunctella and the dipteran species Lucilia cuprina. The protein exhibited significant cytotoxicity against two dipteran cell lines and two lepidopteran cell lines but not against a mammalian cell line. Histological data from H. armigera larvae into which the toxin was injected suggested that the primary site of action of the toxin is the midgut, although some damage to the fat body was also observed.

T1 - Mortality from Ischemic Heart Disease and Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) in Four U.S. Wheat-Producing States: A Hypothesis-Generating Study
AN - 21401414; 12082340
AB - In this ecologic study I examined ischemic heart disease (IHD) and diabetes mortality in rural agricultural counties of Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, in association with environmental exposure to chlorophenoxy herbicides, using wheat acreage as a surrogate exposure. I collected data on agricultural land use and 1979-1998 mortality from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites, respectively. Counties were grouped based on percentage of land area dedicated to wheat farming. Poisson relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), comparing high- and medium- with low-wheat counties, were obtained for IHD, the subcategories acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and coronary atherosclerosis (CAS), and diabetes, adjusting for sex, age, mortality cohort, and poverty index. Mortality from IHD was modestly increased (RR = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.04-1.12). Analyses of its two major forms were more revealing. Compared with low-wheat counties, mortality in high-wheat counties from AMI increased (RR = 1.20; 95% CI, 1.14-1.26), and mortality from CAS decreased (RR = 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.96). Mortality from AMI was more pronounced for those 65 years of age (RR = 1.31; 95% CI 1.22-1.39). Mortality from type 2 diabetes increased (RR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.08-1.24). These results suggest that the underlying cause of mortality from AMI and type 2 diabetes increased and the underlying cause of mortality from CAS decreased in counties where a large proportion of the land area is dedicated to spring and durum wheat farming. Firm conclusions on causal inference cannot be reached until more definitive studies have been conducted.

T1 - Dermal Exposure to Jet Fuel JP-8 Significantly Contributes to the Production of Urinary Naphthols in Fuel-Cell Maintenance Workers
AN - 21397494; 12082354
AB - Jet propulsion fuel 8 (JP-8) is the major jet fuel used worldwide and has been recognized as a major source of chemical exposure, both inhalation and dermal, for fuel-cell maintenance workers. We investigated the contributions of dermal and inhalation exposure to JP-8 to the total body dose of U.S. Air Force fuel-cell maintenance workers using naphthalene as a surrogate for JP-8 exposure. Dermal, breathing zone, and exhaled breath measurements of naphthalene were obtained using tape-strip sampling, passive monitoring, and glass bulbs, respectively. Levels of urinary 1- and 2-naphthols were determined in urine samples and used as biomarkers of JP-8 exposure. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the relative contributions of dermal and inhalation exposure to JP-8, and demographic and work-related covariates, to the levels of urinary naphthols. Our results show that both inhalation exposure and smoking significantly contributed to urinary 1-naphthol levels. The contribution of dermal exposure was significantly associated with levels of urinary 2-naphthol but not with urinary 1-naphthol among fuel-cell maintenance workers who wore supplied-air respirators. We conclude that dermal exposure to JP-8 significantly contributes to the systemic dose and affects the levels of urinary naphthalene metabolites. Future work on dermal xenobiotic metabolism and toxicokinetic studies are warranted in order to gain additional knowledge on naphthalene metabolism in the skin and the contribution to systemic exposure.

T1 - Cancer in Persons Working in Dry Cleaning in the Nordic Countries
AN - 21397449; 12082352
AB - U.S. studies have reported an increased risk of esophageal and some other cancers in dry cleaners exposed to tetrachloroethylene. We investigated whether the U.S. findings could be reproduced in the Nordic countries using a series of case-control studies nested in cohorts of laundry and dry-cleaning workers identified from the 1970 censuses in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Dry-cleaning work in the Nordic countries during the period when tetrachloroethylene was the dominant solvent was not associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer [rate ratio (RR) = 0.76; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.34-1.69], but our study was hampered by some unclassifiable cases. The risks of cancer of the gastric cardia, liver, pancreas, and kidney and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were not significantly increased.Assistants in dry-cleaning shops had a borderline significant excess risk of cervical cancer not found in women directly involved in dry cleaning. We found an excess risk of bladder cancer (RR = 1.44; 95% CI, 1.07-1.93) not associated with length of employment. The finding of no excess risk of esophageal cancer in Nordic dry cleaners differs from U.S. findings. Chance, differences in level of exposure to tetrachloroethylene, and confounding may explain the findings. The overall evidence on bladder cancer in dry cleaners is equivocal.

T1 - Effects of Multiday Exposure to Ozone on Airway Inflammation as Determined Using Sputum Induction
AN - 21393191; 12082338
AB - Single short-term exposures to ozone are known to cause acute changes in pulmonary function and neutrophilic airway inflammation. The respiratory health effects of repeated exposures are not as well studied. Pulmonary function decrements are known to attenuate, but it is less clear how injury and inflammation are affected. Using sputum induction (SI) to sample respiratory tract lining fluid after single- and multiday exposures, we designed a study to test the hypothesis that neutrophils would increase after multiday exposure compared with single-day exposure. In a randomized, crossover design, 15 normal healthy subjects were exposed to O3 (0.2 ppm) under two conditions: for 4 hr for 1 day (1D) and for 4 hr for 4 consecutive days (4D). Pulmonary function testing was performed immediately before and after each 4-hr exposure. The SI was performed 18 hr after the end of the 1D and 4D conditions. The symptom and pulmonary function data followed a pattern seen in other multiday O3 exposure studies, with the greatest changes occurring on the second day. In contrast to previous studies using bronchoalveolar lavage, however, there was a significant increase in the percentage of neutrophils and a significant decrease in the percentage of macrophages after the 4D condition compared with the 1D condition. Given that SI likely samples proximal airways better than distal lung, these results add to the body of evidence that differential airway compartmental responses to O3 occur in humans and other species.

T1 - Effects of Developmental Exposure to 2,2',4,4',5-Pentabromodiphenyl Ether (PBDE-99) on Sex Steroids, Sexual Development, and Sexually Dimorphic Behavior in Rats
AN - 21387322; 12082339
AB - Increasing concentrations of polybrominated flame retardants, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), in breast milk cause concern about possible developmental effects in nursed babies. Because previous studies in rats have indicated effects on sex steroids and sexually dimorphic behavior after maternal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), our goal in the present study was to determine if developmental exposure to 2,2 ,4,4 ,5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-99) induces similar endocrine-mediated effects. Pregnant rats were exposed to vehicle or PBDE-99 (1 or 10 mg/kg body weight, daily during gestational days 10-18). For comparison, we also included a group exposed to the technical PCB mixture Aroclor 1254 (30 mg/kg body weight, daily). PBDE exposure resulted in pronounced decreases in circulating sex steroids in male offspring at weaning and in adulthood. Female offspring were less affected. Anogenital distance was reduced in male offspring. Puberty onset was delayed in female offspring at the higher dose level, whereas a slight acceleration was detected in low-dose males. The number of primordial/primary ovarian follicles was reduced in females at the lower dose, whereas decline of secondary follicles was more pronounced at the higher dose. Sweet preference was dose-dependently increased in PBDE-exposed adult males, indicating a feminization of this sexually dimorphic behavior. Aroclor 1254 did not alter sweet preference and numbers of primordial/primary and secondary follicles but it did affect steroid concentrations in males and sexual development in both sexes. PBDE concentrations in tissues of dams and offspring were highest on gestational day 19. These results support the hypothesis that PBDEs are endocrine-active compounds and interfere with sexual development and sexually dimorphic behavior.

T1 - Human Breast Milk Contamination with Phthalates and Alterations of Endogenous Reproductive Hormones in Infants Three Months of Age
AN - 21386252; 12082347
AB - Phthalates adversely affect the male reproductive system in animals. We investigated whether phthalate monoester contamination of human breast milk had any influence on the postnatal surge of reproductive hormones in newborn boys as a sign of testicular dysgenesis. DESIGN: We obtained biologic samples from a prospective Danish-Finnish cohort study on cryptorchidism from 1997 to 2001. We analyzed individual breast milk samples collected as additive aliquots 1-3 months postnatally (n = 130; 62 cryptorchid/68 healthy boys) for phthalate monoesters [mono-methyl phthalate (mMP), mono-ethyl phthalate (mEP), mono-n-butyl phthalate (mBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (mBzP), mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (mEHP), mono-isononyl phthalate (miNP)]. We analyzed serum samples (obtained in 74% of all boys) for gonadotropins, sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), testosterone, and inhibin B. RESULTS: All phthalate monoesters were found in breast milk with large variations [medians (minimum-maximum)]: mMP 0.10 ( 0.01-5.53 microg/L), mEP 0.95 (0.07-41.4 microg/L), mBP 9.6 (0.6-10,900 microg/L), mBzP 1.2 (0.2-26 microg/L), mEHP 11 (1.5-1,410 microg/L), miNP 95 (27-469 microg/L). Finnish breast milk had higher concentrations of mBP, mBzP, mEHP, and Danish breast milk had higher values for miNP (p = 0.0001-0.056). No association was found between phthalate monoester levels and cryptorchidism. However, mEP and mBP showed positive correlations with SHBG (r = 0.323, p = 0.002 and r = 0.272, p = 0.01, respectively); mMP, mEP, and mBP with LH:free testosterone ratio (r = 0.21-0.323, p = 0.002-0.044) and miNP with luteinizing hormone (r = 0.243, p = 0.019). mBP was negatively correlated with free testosterone (r = -0.22, p = 0.033). Other phthalate monoesters showed similar but nonsignificant tendencies. CONCLUSIONS: Our data on reproductive hormone profiles and phthalate exposures in newborn boys are in accordance with rodent data and suggest that human Leydig cell development and function may also be vulnerable to perinatal exposure to some phthalates. Our findings are also in line with other recent human data showing incomplete virilization in infant boys exposed to phthalates prenatally.

T1 - Environmental Health Sciences and the Community
AN - 21373208; 12082362
AB - Environmental health science investigators train for many years to acquire the in-depth knowledge and expertise critical to successful research. The inherent components of hypothesis generation, study design, methodology, analysis, and interpretation of research which are central to the investigative process take years of dedicated work to develop. Moreover, the very aim of research--getting at the truth--requires an unbiased and impartial approach to answering the questions asked. However, scientists can't always do patient-oriented research on their own, which is why the community is such an important component of our success at the NIEHS. Community partners can identify environmental exposures that are of concern, encourage the public to participate in research, help to set research priorities, and provide the bridge to developing and implementing effective interventions to reduce exposures and prevent disease.

T1 - The Roles of Serum Selenium and Selenoproteins on Mercury Toxicity in Environmental and Occupational Exposure
AN - 21370490; 12082345
AB - Many studies have found that mercury (Hg) exposure is associated with selenium (Se) accumulation in vivo. However, human studies are limited. To study the interaction between Se and Hg, we investigated the total Se and Hg concentrations in body fluids and serum Se-containing proteins in individuals exposed to high concentrations of Hg. Our objective was to elucidate the possible roles of serum Se and selenoproteins in transporting and binding Hg in human populations. We collected data from 72 subjects: 35 had very low Hg exposure as evidenced by mean Hg concentrations of 0.91 and 1.25 ng/mL measured in serum and urine, respectively; 37 had high exposure (mean Hg concentrations of 38.5 and 86.8 ng/mL measured in serum and urine, respectively). An association between Se and Hg was found in urine (r = 0.625; p 0.001) but not in serum. Hg exposure may affect Se concentrations and selenoprotein distribution in human serum. Expression of both selenoprotein P and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was greatly increased in Hg miners. These increases were accompanied by elevated Se concentrations in serum. In addition, selenoprotein P bound more Hg at higher Hg exposure concentrations. Biochemical observations revealed that both GSH-Px activity and malondialdehyde concentrations increased in serum of the Hg-exposed group. This study aids in the understanding of the interaction between Se and Hg. Selenoproteins play two important roles in protecting against Hg toxicity. First, they may bind more Hg through their highly reactive selenol group, and second, their antioxidative properties help eliminate the reactive oxygen species induced by Hg in vivo.

T1 - Apparent Half-Lives of Hepta- to Decabrominated Diphenyl Ethers in Human Serum as Determined in Occupationally Exposed Workers
AN - 21370436; 12082341
AB - The aim of the present study was to model apparent serum half-lives of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) with 7-10 bromine substituents. Workers with occupational exposure to PBDEs have elevated serum levels of PBDEs, but these substances are also found in the general population and are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. The calculations were based on exposure assessments of rubber workers (manufactured flame-retarded rubber compound) and electronics dismantlers who donated blood during a period with no work-related exposures to PBDEs, and referents without any known occupational exposure (clerks, cleaners, and abattoir workers). The workers had previously been found to have elevated levels of high- and medium-brominated diphenyl ethers compared with the referent populations. We performed nonlinear mixed-effects modeling of kinetics, using data from previous and present chemical analyses. The calculated apparent half-life for decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) was 15 days (95% confidence interval, 11-18 days). The three nona-BDEs and four octa-BDE congeners were found to have half-lives of 18-39 and 37-91 days, respectively. BDE-209 has a short half-life in human blood. Because BDE-209 is commonly present in humans in general, the results of this study imply that humans must be more or less continuously exposed to BDE-209 to sustain the serum concentrations observed. BDE-209 is more readily transformed and/or eliminated than are lower brominated diphenyl ether congeners, and human health risk must be assessed accordingly.

T1 - Measuring Potential Dermal Transfer of a Pesticide to Children in a Child Care Center
AN - 21370399; 12082335
AB - Currently, the major determinants of children's exposure to pesticides are not fully understood, and approaches for measuring and assessing dermal exposure in a residential setting have not been sufficiently evaluated. In one approach, dermal exposure is estimated using empirically derived transfer coefficients. To assess the feasibility of using this approach for assessing children's exposure to pesticides, we conducted a study was conducted in a child care center that had a preexisting contract with a pest control service for regular monthly pesticide applications. Children in the selected child care center were monitored using full-body cotton garments to measure dermal loading. Pesticide residues on classroom surfaces were measured in the areas where the children spent time. Measured surface-wipe loadings ranged from 0.47 to 120 ng/cm2, and total garment loadings ranged from 0.5 to 660 pg/cm2. The garment and surface loading measurements were used to calculate dermal-transfer coefficients for use in assessing children's residential exposure to pesticides. Dermal-transfer coefficients calculated using these data range from approximately 10 to 6,000 cm2/hr. The wide range in these values demonstrates the importance of developing standard surface-measurement protocols if this approach is to be used to assess dermal exposure in a residential environment. The upper-range values resulting from this study were found to be similar to the default value used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to assess children's dermal exposures resulting from contact with indoor surfaces.

T1 - Assessing the Reliability and Credibility of Industry Science and Scientists
AN - 21356928; 12082343
AB - The chemical industry extensively researches and tests its products to implement product stewardship commitments and to ensure compliance with governmental requirements. In this commentary we argue that a wide variety of mechanisms enable policymakers and the public to assure themselves that studies performed or funded by industry are identified as such, meet high scientific standards, and are not suppressed when their findings are adverse to industry's interests. The more a given study follows these practices and standards, the more confidence one can place in it. No federal laws, rules, or policies express a presumption that scientific work should be ignored or given lesser weight because of the source of its funding. To the contrary, Congress has consistently mandated that agencies allow interested or affected parties to provide information to them and fairly consider that information. All participants in scientific review panels should disclose sources of potential biases and conflicts of interest. The former should be considered in seeking a balanced panel rather than being used as a basis for disqualification. Conflicts of interest generally do require disqualification, except where outweighed by the need for a person's services. Within these constraints, chemical industry scientists can serve important and legitimate functions on scientific advisory panels and should not be unjustifiably prevented from contributing to their work.

AB - BACKGROUND: Ecologic studies are commonly used to report associations between short-term air pollution and mortality. In such studies, the unit of observation is the day rather than the individual. Moreover, individual data on the subjects are rarely available, which limits the assessment of individual risk factors. These associations can also be investigated using case-crossover studies. However, by definition, individual risk factors are not studied, and such studies analyze only dead subjects, which limits the statistical power. OBJECTIVE: We suggest that the survival analysis is more suitable when cohorts are examined with a time-dependent ecologic exposure. To our knowledge, to date this type of analysis has never been proposed. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS, MEASUREMENTS: In the present study we used a Cox proportional hazards model to investigate the distribution over time of the short-term effect of black smoke and sulfur dioxide in 439 nonaccidental and 158 cardiorespiratory deaths among the 1,469 subjects of the Personnes Agees QUID (PAQUID) cohort in Bordeaux, France. The model has a delayed entry and a polynomial distributed lag from 0 to 5 days. Results are adjusted for individual risk factors, temperature, relative humidity, weekday, season, influenza epidemics, and a time function to control temporal trends. RESULTS: We identified a positive and significant association between cardiorespiratory mortality and black smoke, with a 24% increase in deaths 3 days after a 10-microg/m3 increase in black smoke (95% confidence interval, 4-47%). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the Cox proportional hazards model with time-dependent covariates is very suitable to investigate simultaneously the short-term effect of air pollution on health and the effect of individual risk factors on a cohort study.

T1 - Pesticides and Parkinson's Disease-Is There a Link?
AN - 21347125; 12082356
AB - Parkinson's disease (PD) is an idiopathic disease of the nervous system characterized by progressive tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. It has been postulated that exogenous toxicants, including pesticides, might be involved in the etiology of PD. In this article we present a comprehensive review of the published epidemiologic and toxicologic literature and critically evaluate whether a relationship exists between pesticide exposure and PD. From the epidemiologic literature, there does appear to be a relatively consistent relationship between pesticide exposure and PD. This relationship appears strongest for exposure to herbicides and insecticides, and after long durations of exposure. Toxicologic data suggest that paraquat and rotenone may have neurotoxic actions that potentially play a role in the development of PD, with limited data for other pesticides. However, both the epidemiology and toxicology studies were limited by methodologic weaknesses. Particular issues of current and future interest include multiple exposures (both pesticides and other exogenous toxicants), developmental exposures, and gene-environment interactions. At present, the weight of evidence is sufficient to conclude that a generic association between pesticide exposure and PD exists but is insufficient for concluding that this is a causal relationship or that such a relationship exists for any particular pesticide compound or combined pesticide and other exogenous toxicant exposure.

T1 - Prenatal Methylmercury Exposure and Developmental Outcomes: Review of the Evidence and Discussion of Future Directions
AN - 21347108; 12082332
AB - I conducted a review of the published literature to assess the strength of the evidence for an association between prenatal exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) and subsequent child development. I identified 12 studies on this subject published since 1980. Of these, 3 were longitudinal studies--2 conducted in the Seychelle Islands, and 1 in the Faroe Islands. Nine were cross-sectional studies conducted in different countries where seafood, a source of MeHg, constituted a major part of the diet. The ages of the children studied ranged from 2 weeks to 12 years. The results of the longitudinal studies were contradictory. Researchers in the Faroe Islands identified an association between MeHg exposure and developmental effects, whereas those in the Seychelle Islands identified no such association. This inconsistency was mirrored in the results of the cross-sectional studies where there were some positive and some negative findings. It was concluded that it was not possible from currently available data to determine whether there is an association between prenatal MeHg exposure and adverse developmental effects in children. In advance of future research, consideration should be given to resolving the uncertainties surrounding exposure assessment and outcome measurement, as both elements varied between studies. It was suggested that questions of exposure assessment would benefit from the application of an expert review process. Outcome assessment would benefit from the development of theoretically based measures of specific aspects of cognitive functioning to replace the relatively crude measures of attainment and IQ currently employed in most studies. This would assist in the development of classic longitudinal studies by allowing repeated assessment over the full age range and providing data that are more readily interpretable and comparable between studies.

T1 - Radio Frequency Nonionizing Radiation in a Community Exposed to Radio and Television Broadcasting
AN - 21347054; 12082349
AB - Exposure to radio frequency (RF) nonionizing radiation from telecommunications is pervasive in modern society. Elevated disease risks have been observed in some populations exposed to radio and television transmissions, although findings are inconsistent. This study quantified RF exposures among 280 residents living near the broadcasting transmitters for Denver, Colorado. RF power densities outside and inside each residence were obtained, and a global positioning system (GPS) identified geographic coordinates and elevations. A view-shed model within a geographic information system (GIS) characterized the average distance and percentage of transmitters visible from each residence. Data were collected at the beginning and end of a 2.5-day period, and some measurements were repeated 8-29 months later. RF levels logged at 1-min intervals for 2.5 days varied considerably among some homes and were quite similar among others. The greatest differences appeared among homes within 1 km of the transmitters. Overall, there were no differences in mean residential RF levels compared over 2.5 days. However, after a 1- to 2-year follow-up, only 25% of exterior and 38% of interior RF measurements were unchanged. Increasing proximity, elevation, and line-of-sight visibility were each associated with elevated RF exposures. At average distances from 1-3 km, exterior RF measurements were 13-30 times greater among homes that had 50% of the transmitters visible compared with homes with or = 50% visibility at those distances. This study demonstrated that both spatial and temporal factors contribute to residential RF exposure and that GPS/GIS technologies can improve RF exposure assessment and reduce exposure misclassification.

T1 - Soil pH influences embryonic survival in Pseudophryne bibronii (Anura: Myobatrachidae)
AN - 20717796; 6584231
AB - There has been limited research examining the role that terrestrial habitat characteristics play in influencing persistence of amphibian populations. In this study we investigated the influence of a terrestrial habitat attribute on the distribution of the terrestrial egg-laying toadlet, Pseudophryne bibronii. Eggs of this species are deposited in depressions, or under leaf litter, and develop to a stage where they can hatch to free swimming tadpoles when water covers breeding sites or embryos are washed into water. Because rainfall can be intermittent, eggs may sit for extended periods in terrestrial nests before sufficient rainfall initiates hatching. Appropriate egg-laying sites must be chosen by both males and females to ensure embryos survive these periods. A study of 20 sites found that soil pH at sites where P. bibronii were recorded as present was significantly lower than pH at sites where P. bibronii were recorded as absent. To determine whether soil pH influenced the hatching success in P. bibronii, experiments were conducted in which batches of eggs were translocated to local areas with different soil pH. Survival rate of eggs was significantly influenced by relatively small changes in pH, with hatching success higher at lower pH. In a laboratory trial survival of eggs raised on sterilized soil was not affected by soil pH. Fungal infection of eggs was observed in the field and laboratory suggesting that hatching success might be affected via a complex interaction between soil pH, fungi and other soil biota. Choice trials using P. bibronii metamorphs indicated that individuals were capable of distinguishing between small differences in pH. Therefore, distribution of P. bibronii may be influenced by either differential mortality of embryos, or habitat choice by post metamorphic individuals, and further experiments are required to determine the relative importance of these factors.

T1 - Taking the public seriously: the case of potable and non potable reuse Presented at the International Conference on Integrated Concepts on Water Recycling, Wollongong, NSW Australia, 14-17 February 2005.
AN - 19422577; 6676843
AB - Introducing reclaimed water as an alternative to the traditional mains water supply involves change in practices as well as technology. Therefore, the social effects of innovative solutions to sustainable water management need to be carefully considered. This paper will present findings from research undertaken in California and Florida, USA, and Australia. What is the community response to recycling reclaimed water? Are there ways of involving the public so that the change involved in introducing reclaimed water achieves sustainable outcomes? Results from a series of case studies where indirect potable reuse has been planned will be considered along with the findings from a range of industry surveys, mainly conducted in the USA. In relation to non potable reuse, this paper will cover acceptance of some of the main uses, and householder's experience of recycling water for residential use. The resulting analysis suggests that the shift from traditional, centrally controlled water supplies to innovative alternatives, requires a corresponding shift in resources to support what is essentially a social transformation in water service delivery and management.

T1 - Fluoroquinolone Resistance Linked to Both gyrA and parC Mutations in the Quinolone Resistance-Determining Region of Shigella dysenteriae Type 1
AN - 19291141; 7025475
AB - We examined the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of gyrA, gyrB, and parC of recently isolated fluoroquinolone-resistant S. dysenteriae type 1 strains from south Asia and compared data with fluoroquinolone-susceptible strains associated with previous epidemics of 1978, 1984, and 1994. In fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, double mutations (Ser super(83) arrow right Leu, Asp super(87) arrow right Asn or Gly) and a single mutation (Ser super(80) arrow right Ile) were detected in the QRDRs of gyrA and parC, respectively.

T1 - A Toxicologic Review of Quantum Dots: Toxicity Depends on Physicochemical and Environmental Factors
AN - 14764816; 10694277
AB - Various aspects of novel nanomaterials commonly referred to as quantum dots (QDs) are presented. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals with unique optical and electrical properties applied in biomedical imaging and electronics industries. One of the more valuable properties of QDs is their fluorescence spectrum, which renders them optimal fluorophores for biomedical imaging. QDs consist of a metalloid crystalline core and a cap or shell that shields the core and renders the QD bioavailable. QD toxicity depends on multiple factors derived from both individual QD physiochemical properties and environmental conditions namely, QD size, charge, concentration, outer coating bioactivity, and oxidative, photolytic and mechanical stability. Cadmium and selenium, two of the most widely used constituent metals in QD core metalloid complexes are known to cause acute and chronic toxicities in vertebrates and are of considerable human health and environmental concern.

T1 - Organic Diets Significantly Lower Children's Dietary Exposure to Organophosphorus Pesticides
AN - 14764535; 10694292
AB - Dietary organophosphorus (OP) pesticide exposure in a group of twenty-three elementary school-age children through urinary biomonitoring was measured. Most of children's conventional diets were substituted with organic food items for five consecutive days. Two spot daily urine samples, one in the morning and other before-bedtime voids, throughout the fifteen-day study period were collected. Concentrations of OP specific metabolites were reported as three categories namely, detectable, detectable but not quantifiable, and nondetectable. Averaging the metabolite concentration in the morning sample with that of the previous day's bedtime sample and then normalizing for the total volume of these two urine samples calculated the daily volume-weighted average of OP pesticide metabolites. It was found that the median urinary concentrations of the specific metabolites for malathion and chlorpyrifos decreased to the nondetectable levels immediately after the introduction of organic diets and remained nondetectable until the conventional diets were reintroduced.

T1 - Elemental Mercury Spills
AN - 14764445; 10694274
AB - The effects of mercury spills in the environment are discussed. Sources of elemental mercury include old natural gas regulators, manometers, sphygmomanometer, thermometers, and thermostats. Causes of mercury spills include improper storage, container breakage, children playing with Hg super(0), the breakage of devices containing Hg super(0), and ritualistic use of Hg super(0). Chronic exposure to Hg super(0) vapors can damage the kidneys and neurologic system. Short-term exposure to high levels of Hg super(0) vapors may cause lung damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation among other effects. The best way to prevent spills is to keep Hg super(0) out of the home, school, or workplace.

T1 - Personality Traits in Miners with Past Occupational Elemental Mercury Exposure
AN - 14764018; 10694297
AB - The impact of long-term occupational exposure to elemental mercury vapor on the personality traits of ex-mercury miners was evaluated. The medical examination included determination of general clinical status of examinees' medical histories and lifestyle habits. Study groups included fifty-three ex-miners previously exposed to mercury vapors and fifty-three age-matched controls. The relationship between the indices of past occupational exposure and the observed personality traits was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient and on a subgroup level by machine learning methods. The miners were biologically monitored by urine mercury (U-Hg) analysis. Blood total-Hg (B-THg) and U-Hg were determined by cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry (CVAAS). It was observed that the groups did not differ in mean B-THg concentrations, which represented the actual exposure to mercury vapor and methylmercury.

T1 - A Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing Infectious Disease Risks from Bathing in Fresh Recreational Waters in Relation to the Concentration of Escherichia coli, Intestinal Enterococci, Clostridium perfringens, and Somatic Coliphages
AN - 14762956; 10694287
AB - Epidemiologic studies on public freshwater bathing sites in Germany were performed. The objective was to provide a better scientific basis for the definition of recreational water quality standards. A total of two thousand one hundred ninety six participants were recruited from the local population and randomized into bathers and non-bathers. Bathing duration was limited to exactly ten minutes, and participants were asked to stay inside the roped-off swimming zones and to stay or swim around balloons. Water samples were collected every twenty minutes from the centers of the swimmers' and nonswimmers' zones in all four areas. In 95.2% of the samples collected during the five trial days, E. coli concentrations were below the imperative value of 2,000/100 mL.

T1 - Assessing the Measurement Precision of Various Arsenic Forms and Arsenic Exposure in the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS)
AN - 14762936; 10694286
AB - The measurement precision of various arsenic (As) forms and arsenic exposure in the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS), was assessed. Archived samples collected from 1995 to 1997 in the NHEXAS in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (R5) and the Children's Study (CS) in Minnesota were analyzed for total arsenic, arsenate, arsenite, dimethyl arsenic acid (DMA), monomethyl arsenic acid (MMA), arsenobetaine, and arsenocholine. Samples for the CS included, drinking water, urine, air, and dust; both studies included food. For both R5 and CS, the As food measurements were for composite samples of solid foods consumed over a four day period. Intakes from the amount of food consumed per day times the concentration in the food composites were calculated. The most prevalent As formed in water was found to be As(V), whereas As(III) was measurable in up to 73% of the samples.

T1 - A Case-Crossover Study of Wintertime Ambient Air Pollution and Infant Bronchiolitis
AN - 14761756; 10694295
AB - The association of infant bronchiolitis with acute exposure to ambient air pollution was examined. Effects on 19,901 infants in the South Coast Air Basin of California in 1995-2000 with a hospital discharge record for bronchiolitis in the first year of life were evaluated. Air pollutant monitoring data for 1995-2000 from the electronic database of California Environment Protection Agency Air Resources Board were extracted. Study subjects' ZIP code was linked to ambient air pollution monitors to derive exposures. The risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization associated with increases in wintertime ambient air pollutants was estimated using conditional logistic regression. No increased risk after acute exposure to particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m was observed in aerodynamic diameter, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen dioxide.

T1 - New Evidence on Variations of Human Body Burden of Methylmercury from Fish Consumption
AN - 14761732; 10694299
AB - The variations of human body burden of methylmercury from fish consumption in Canada were discussed. A polynomial regression was applied to normalize the relationship between fish length and Hg levels in fish tissues. Detailed information on yearly and seasonal fish consumption patterns was obtained using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed specifically for each community. The fish frequency was calculated as the number of meals for each specific fish species. Hair samples were collected from the participants, and Hg concentration was measured using a standardized protocol. It was found that the estimated hair Hg levels for the different aboriginal people communities of Canada were about 500% higher than the measured concentrations.

T1 - Survival Analysis to Estimate Association Between Short-Term Mortality and Air Pollution
AN - 14761635; 10694289
AB - The use of survival analysis to estimate association between short-term mortality and air pollution was discussed. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the distribution over time of the short-term effect of black smoke and sulfur dioxide in four hundred thirty nine nonaccidental and one hundred fifty eight cardiorespiratory deaths among the one thousand four hundred sixty nine subjects of the Personnes Agees QUID (PAQUID). The measurements of air pollutant concentrations were time-dependent covariates with three thousand six hundred fifty three different values over the ten years of follow-up. Status about cigarette smoke exposure was defined at the inclusion in the study as nonsmoker, smoker, ex-smoker, or current smoker. A positive and significant association between cardiorespiratory mortality and black smoke was identified with a 24% increase on deaths three days after a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in black smoke.

T1 - The Influence of Large-Scale Airborne Particle Decline and Traffic-Related Exposure on Children's Lung Function
AN - 14761244; 10694296
AB - The association of lung function with total suspended particles (TSPs) and traffic related pollution on children in East and West Germany, was investigated. Children aged 5-7 years were tested with cooperation-independent body plethysmography in repeated cross sections. Randon-effect models were used to determine the mutually adjusted association between lung function and short-term and chronic particle exposure, and its interaction with living near a busy road. Lung function with a constant volume body plethysmograph apparatus was tested. Children's exposure to outdoor TSPs and SO sub(2) was characterized by the mean of the values gained at the monitoring stations. It was found that the annual mean SO sub(2) concentrations in East Germany exceeded West German concentrations by a factor up to 5, and the daily mean concentrations were >10 times higher in East than in West Germany.

T1 - Proteomic Evaluation of Neonatal Exposure to 2,2',4,4'5-Pentabromodiphenyl Ether
AN - 14761218; 10694291
AB - The early effects of 2,2',4,4',5-Pentabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-99) in two distinct regions of the neonatal mouse brain namely, the striatum and the hippocampus were investigated. A single oral dose of PBDE-99 or vehicle was administered to male NMRI mice on neonatal day ten, and the striatum and the hippocampus were isolated. The fluorescent images of the two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) gels were analyzed using the DeCyder software suite with default settings. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS) was used to determine the protein identity of eleven spots from the striatum and ten from the hippocampus. Among the proteins identified from the striatum, two were up-regulated and four were down-regulated by PBDE-99 exposure, whereas all proteins identified from hippocampus were up-regulated.

AB - Blood mercury levels in the Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, and multiracial groups with those among all other women participants, classified as Mexican American, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and other Hispanic, were compared. Data from the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to compare blood mercury levels among women 16-49 years of age in the other racial/ethnic group with those in all other racial/ethnic groups. Among the women included in the analysis, one thousand three hundred seventy seven self-identified as non-Hispanic white, one thousand one hundred six as Mexican American, seven hundred ninety four as non-Hispanic black, and two hundred twenty as other Hispanic, and one hundred forty were categorized as other. An estimated 16.59 plus or minus 4.0% of adult female participants who self-identified as Asian, Pacific Islanders, Native American or multiracial had blood levels greater than or equal to 5.8 mu g/L, and 27.26 plus or minus 4.22% had levels greater than or equal to 3.5 mu g/L.

T1 - Breast Milk Dioxins in Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta
AN - 14760304; 10694283
AB - Breast milk comprising samples from three hundred sixteen primiparous women on Hong Kong was analyzed. Gas chromatography / mass spectrometry was used for twenty-nine polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Participants provided information on area of residence, occupation, obstetric information, smoking history, and demographic characteristics, in response to a questionnaire translated from World Health Organization (WHO) PCDDs, PCDF, and PCB exposure studies. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was developed to assess the subjects' habitual intake on potentially dioxin-related food groups, including a wide range of freshwater fish, saltwater fish, seafood, and other fish products. It was found that the ranges of PCDD-toxic equivalents (TEQs) were wider than that of PCDF-TEQs.

T1 - Determination of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous and solid samples from an Italian wastewater treatment plant.
AN - 67574353; 16256127
AB - A robust procedure for the determination of 16 US EPA PAHs in both aqueous (e.g. wastewaters, industrial discharges, treated effluents) and solid samples (e.g. suspended solids and sludge) from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is presented. Recovery experiments using different percentages of organic modifier, sorbents and eluting solvent mixtures were carried out in Milli-Q water (1000 mL) spiked with a mixture of the PAH analytes (100 ng/L of each analyte). The solid phase extraction (SPE) procedures applied to spiked waste water samples (1000 mL; 100 ng/L spiking level) permitted simultaneous recovery of all the 16PAHs with yields >70% (6-13% RSD). SPE clean up procedures applied to sewage and stabilized sludge extracts, showed percent recoveries in the range 73-92% (7-13% RSD) and 71-89% (7-12% RSD), respectively. The methods were used for the determination of PAHs in aqueous and solid samples from the WWTP of Fusina (Venice, Italy). Mean concentrations, as the sum of the 16PAHs in aqueous and suspended solid samples, were found to be approx. in the 1.12-4.62 microg/L range. Sewage and stabilized sludge samples contained mean PAH concentrations, as sum of 16 compounds, in the concentration range of 1.44-1.26 mg/kg, respectively. Extraction and clean up procedures for sludge samples were validated using EPA certified reference material IRM-104 (CRM No. 912). Instrumental analyses were performed by coupling HPLC with UV-diode array detection (UV-DAD) and fluorescence detection (FLD).

T1 - Area of Lattice Polygons
AN - 870284197; EJ922136
AB - A lattice is a (rectangular) grid of points, usually pictured as occurring at the intersections of two orthogonal sets of parallel, equally spaced lines. Polygons that have lattice points as vertices are called lattice polygons. It is clear that lattice polygons come in various shapes and sizes. A very small lattice triangle may cover just 3 lattice points--at the vertices. A very large lattice polygon might be expected to cover many more lattice points. This suggests that there might be a correlation between the area of (simple) lattice polygons and the number of lattice points they cover. This article illustrates a problem solving activity in determining the area of the simple lattice and non-lattice polygons using Pick's theorem. (Contains 7 figures and 3 tables.)

T1 - Molecular characterization of a novel dipeptidyl peptidase like 2-short form (DPL2-s) that is highly expressed in the brain and lacks dipeptidyl peptidase activity.
AN - 70706324; 16290253
AB - DPL2 (DPP10) found at chromosome 2q14.1 is a member of the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) gene family. Here we characterize a novel short DPL2 isoform (DPL2-s), a 789-amino acid protein, that differs from the previously described long DPL2 isoform (DPL2-l) at the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain by 13 amino acids. The two DPL2 isoforms use alternate first exons. DPL2 mRNA was expressed mainly in the brain and pancreas. Multiple forms of recombinant DPL2-s protein were observed in 293T cells, having mobilities 96 kDa, 100 kDa, and approximately 250 kDa which may represent soluble DPL2, transmembrane DPL2 and multimeric DPL2 respectively. DPL2 is glycosylated as a band shift is observed following PNGase F deglycosylation. DPL2-s was expressed primarily on the cell surface of transfected 293T and PC12 cells. DPL2-s exhibits high sequence homology with other DPIV peptidases, but lacks a catalytic serine residue and lacks dipeptidyl peptidase activity. Substitutions of Gly(644)-->Ser, Lys(643)Gly(644)-->TrpSer, or Asp(561)Lys(643)Gly(644)-->TyrTrpSer in the catalytic motif did not confer dipeptidyl peptidase activity upon DPL2-s. Thus, although DPL2 is similar in structure and sequence to the other dipeptidyl peptidases, it lacks vital residues required to confer dipeptidyl peptidase activity and has instead evolved features that enable it to act as an important component of voltage-gated potassium channels.

T1 - Bayesian and time-independent species sensitivity distributions for risk assessment of chemicals.
AN - 70704017; 16433377
AB - Species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) are increasingly used to analyze toxicity data but have been criticized for a lack of consistency in data inputs, lack of relevance to the real environment, and a lack of transparency in implementation. This paper shows how the Bayesian approach addresses concerns arising from frequentist SSD estimation. Bayesian methodologies are used to estimate SSDs and compare results obtained with time-dependent (LC50) and time-independent (predicted no observed effect concentration) endpoints for the insecticide chlorpyrifos. Uncertainty in the estimation of each SSD is obtained either in the form of a pointwise percentile confidence interval computed by bootstrap regression or an associated credible interval. We demonstrate that uncertainty in SSD estimation can be reduced by applying a Bayesian approach that incorporates expert knowledge and that use of Bayesian methodology permits estimation of an SSD that is more robust to variations in data. The results suggest that even with sparse data sets theoretical criticisms of the SSD approach can be overcome.

AB - Urokinase and plasmin appear to have antiinflammatory activity in some injury models, and urokinase immobilization has been clinically used to prevent thrombus formation in various implants, including intravenous indwelling catheters and subcutaneous drainage tubes. In the present study, polyurethane tubes were embedded in rabbit muscle for 3 months and the effect of urokinase immobilization on inflammatory responses to the implanted tubes was studied at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Mononuclear leukocyte accumulation occurred around implanted polyurethane tubes and peaked after 1 month, but was reduced significantly by urokinase immobilization. The treatment also lessened as well as delayed eosinophil accumulation, but did not affect fibrosis caused by implanted tubes. These results indicate suppressive effects of urokinase immobilization on polyurethane-elicited inflammatory responses and suggest that an approach to develop persistently active urokinase immobilization is rational for successful long-term device implantation.

T1 - Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum).
AN - 68948374; 17033080
AB - The genetic transformation of opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, offers the opportunity to study the mechanisms involved in the regulation of benzylisoquinoline and morphinan alkaloid biosynthesis. The development of an efficient transformation protocol for opium poppy has allowed us to transform a range of genotypes from all around the world, including previously recalcitrant high-yielding commercial Australian cultivars. The method involves Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of hypocotyl explants, followed by the production of antibiotic or herbicide resistant embryogenic callus, the subsequent induction of somatic embryos and development into normal plants. The use of different selective agents, binary vectors, and poppy genotypes has demonstrated the robustness and reliability of this protocol in the production of many hundreds of confirmed transgenic poppies.

T1 - Combination analgesia in 2005 - a rational approach: focus on paracetamol-tramadol.
AN - 68571155; 16741784
AB - A multimodal (or balanced) approach to anaesthesia is a familiar concept that offers important benefits in the management of both acute and chronic pain. Rational combinations of analgesic agents with different mechanisms of action can achieve improved efficacy and/or tolerability and safety compared with equianalgesic doses of the individual drugs. Combining different agents also enhances efficacy in complex pain states that involve multiple causes. Combinations of paracetamol plus a weak opioid agent are widely used. One such combination, paracetamol plus tramadol, exploits the well-established complementary pharmacokinetics and mechanisms of action of these two drugs. This combination has demonstrated genuine synergy in animal studies and also combines paracetamol's rapid onset of efficacy with tramadol's prolonged analgesic effect. Numerous studies have confirmed the efficacy and tolerability of paracetamol plus tramadol in both acute and chronic pain. As a single-dose treatment for acute post-operative pain, this combination delivers rapid and sustained pain relief that is greater than either agent alone. There is also extensive evidence for efficacy in the long-term management of chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis, low back pain and fibromyalgia. In the setting of chronic pain, paracetamol plus tramadol has shown sustained efficacy, safety and tolerability for up to 2 years without the development of tolerance. The efficacy of this combination has been demonstrated as well in respect to reduction of pain intensity and, more importantly, with regard to improvement of function and quality of life and the reduction of disability. Comparative trials have shown that paracetamol plus tramadol has comparable efficacy to paracetamol plus codeine, but with reduced somnolence and constipation compared with the codeine combination. The paracetamol plus tramadol combination is also free of organ toxicity associated with selective and non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Hence, paracetamol plus tramadol offers an effective and well-tolerated alternative to anti-inflammatory drugs or other paracetamol plus weak opioid combinations.

T1 - The role of COX-2 inhibitors in the treatment of postoperative pain.
AN - 68099299; 16785836
AB - Postoperative pain requires treatment not only to provide comfort to patients but also to improve postoperative outcome. Anti-inflammatory compounds are an important component of multimodal analgesia in the postoperative period. The newer cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors are as effective as classical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in this setting. However, COX-2 inhibitors offer a number of advantages over NSAIDs when used to treat postoperative pain. These include a reduced incidence of gastrointestinal ulceration and no inhibitory effect on platelet function and thereby a reduced risk of blood loss. Other benefits are less impairment of bone healing and no induction of bronchospasm in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma. Increased cardiovascular thromboembolic events by COX-2 inhibitors have been reported after coronary artery bypass graft surgery only, but in general, surgery studies the incidence of such complications was comparable to placebo. Overall, COX-2 inhibitors offer a number of advantages over classical NSAIDs in the postoperative pain setting, but require the same caution with regard to renal effects.

T1 - Development of single-stage nitrogen removal using anammox and partial nitritation (SNAP) and its treatment performances.
AN - 68036411; 16749443
AB - Single-stage Nitrogen removal using Anammox and Partial nitritation (SNAP) process was newly developed as an economical nitrogen removal process for ammonium rich wastewaters. The experimental studies for the evaluation of SNAP process were carried out using a novel biofilm reactor, in which hydrophilic net-type acryl fiber biomass carrier was applied. This SNAP reactor was operated under operational conditions of pH 7.5-7.7, 35 degrees C and DO 2-3 mg/L, and 60 to 80% of influent NH4-N was removed under loading rate of 0.48 kg-N/m3/d. Through the DNA analysis of the attached sludge, it was made clear that ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria coexisted in the attach-immobilized sludge on the acryl fiber biomass carrier. Favorable conditions for the growth of anammox bacteria were created inside attach-immobilized nitrifying sludge. Two kinds of anammox bacteria and two kinds of AOB were detected in the SNAP sludge. Existence ratios of anammox and AOB were estimated to be 15% and 8.7%, respectively, based on the obtained clone numbers. This coexisting condition was confirmed by the FISH image of SNAP sludge and its confocal laser scanning microscope.

T1 - When science is not enough - a risk/benefit profile of thiomersal-containing vaccines.
AN - 67592601; 16370953
AB - Without a preservative, such as thiomersal (known as thimerosal in the US), multi-dose liquid presentations of vaccine are vulnerable to bacteriological contamination that can result in death or serious illness of the recipient. Concerns about levels of mercury exposure from thiomersal-containing vaccines were first raised in the US during 1999 in the context of Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Since then, a large body of evidence from animal and epidemiological studies has accumulated on the safety of thiomersal. Ironically, these data have become largely irrelevant in wealthy countries, where mono-dose, thiomersal-free vaccines have been introduced as a precautionary measure in almost all childhood vaccines, in part related to residual public scepticism. In poor countries, multi-dose vials remain important for vaccine delivery. There is a real danger that this controversy may result in the loss to the world of thiomersal as a preservative, simply from popular pressure. In reality, it would be impossible to cease overnight using thiomersal and maintain the supply of vital vaccines. This paper reviews and summarises the data available from published studies on mercury toxicity, and thiomersal in vaccines in particular, that overwhelmingly indicate continued use of thiomersal is safe in those countries where it is most needed.

T1 - Modelling and the Transit of Venus
AN - 62106369; EJ744019
AB - Senior secondary mathematics students could justifiably question the relevance of subject matter they are being required to understand. One response to this is to place the learning experience within a context that clearly demonstrates a non-trivial application of the material, and which thereby provides a definite purpose for the mathematical tools under consideration. The endeavor of placing increasing emphasis on the ability of students to apply mathematical thinking to the task of modelling real situations requires that a process for developing a mathematical model be taught explicitly, and that sufficient opportunities are provided to students to engage them in that process so that when they are confronted by an apparently complex situation they have the thinking and operational skills, as well as the disposition, to enable them to proceed. This article develops a model of a physical situation that can be explained through application of senior secondary mathematical concepts, and which has elements of all phases of the modelling process. The authors focus on calculating the pattern of a transit of Venus and determining when transits will occur by formulating a mathematical model for high school students. Some assumptions made in course of developing the model are described and the implications for teaching are discussed. (Contains 7 figures.)

T1 - Collecting Coupon--A Mathematical Approach
AN - 62105957; EJ744035
AB - A special but common type of scenario is one in which a company has a promotion that is designed to make the customer purchase more of their product than they otherwise might. Although this can be aimed specifically at children, it really applies to all persons. The basic premise is that the company issues a "set" of different items or coupons and places one of the coupons in boxes of their product. The consumer does not know which of the coupons in the set they will get until they purchase the product and open the packaging. This situation is sometimes known as the "coupon collector's problem" or "cereal box problem" (since the coupons are often a set of toys found in a packet of cereal). This article analyses this problem generally and then demonstrates it, by using specific examples. It provides an interesting instance of how mathematics can be used to analyse an everyday problem while illustrating the important concept of modeling. Specific instances of its application include coin collecting by Lu and Skiena (2000). (Contains 4 tables.)

T1 - Mathematical Fiction for Senior Students and Undergraduates: Novels, Plays, and Film
AN - 62105535; EJ744036
AB - Mathematical fiction has probably existed since ideas have been written down and certainly as early as 414 BC (Kasman, 2000). Mathematical fiction is a recently rediscovered and growing literature, as sales of the novels: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" (Haddon, 2003) and "The Da Vinci Code" (Brown, 2004) attest. Science fiction has been called the literature of ideas. These days fiction, not just science fiction, is likely to contain mathematical ideas. This article describes a novel and two plays with mathematical themes and then investigates the mathematics in the film, "A Beautiful Mind" (Howard & Grazer, 2001). The topics discussed include: modular arithmetic, cryptography, vector calculus, probability, financial mathematics, and game, chaos, and number theory, including Germain primes. Mathematical ideas can be introduced and discussed through short stories, novels, plays and screenplays, likewise some of this literature is suitable for the introduction of mathematical topics into the classroom or lecture hall. Indeed, used properly, these works can: motivate students; introduce mathematical ideas in an informative context; elaborate on topics; supply imaginative applications; and help clarify mathematics, with or without the collaboration of science and humanities teachers. Consequently, these works are useful propaganda for mathematics, encouraging an appreciation of it. They are capable of captivating an audience, a group of students, with some challenging mathematics. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1 - 1 or 0? Cantorian Conundrums in the Contemporary Classroom
AN - 62105519; EJ744042
AB - In set theory, one comes across the notion of "vacuous truth." A statement is vacuously true if it is true but does not quite say anything. The structure of a vacuously true statement is typically of the form: everything with property A also has property B, with the caveat being that there is nothing in property A. For instance one could say: all humans with gills are sharks. This statement is vacuously true because there are no humans with gills. It is natural to dismiss such examples as absurd and pathologies within the framework of set theory. However the notion of vacuous truth arises in some pedagogical situations. The reader is undoubtedly curious whether a situation requiring the examination of "vacuous" truth can arise in a contemporary mathematics classroom. In fact such situations do arise. In this article, the author describes one such situation in a preservice elementary mathematics classroom. This unusual set-theoretic pedagogical situation is known as Cantonian conundrums.

T1 - Expansion of Binomials and Factorisation of Quadratic Expressions: Exploring a Vedic Method
AN - 62105162; EJ744034
AB - Many students have traditionally found the processes of algebraic manipulation, especially factorisation, difficult to learn. This study investigated the value of introducing students to a Vedic method of multiplication of arithmetic numbers to algebra that is very visual in its application. This research considered a possible role of the "Vertically and Crosswise" sutra for improving facility with, and understanding of, the expression of algebraic binomials and the factorisation of quadratic expressions. It employed a case study methodology, using a single class of Year 10 (age 15 years) students. The students were taught an appropriate Vedic sutra following teaching of the traditional FOIL method of multiplication of binomials, and the decomposition method for factorisation. The authors found that afterwards the students performed significantly better overall on these types of algebra questions, and specifically on the factorisations, and there was weak evidence of better results on expansion using a grid format.

T1 - Limits of Functions: Students Solving Tasks
AN - 62104974; EJ744018
AB - This study was conducted to reveal how students at university level justify their solutions to tasks with various degrees of difficulty. The study is part of a larger study of students' concept formation of limits. The mathematical area is limits of functions. The study was carried out at a Swedish university at the first level of mathematics. The results are, however, applicable to other countries as well since students meet similar challenges in their learning of limits. In discussions with some Australian mathematics teachers at university level, the author, found out that the topics taught in basic mathematics courses in Australia are similar to Swedish courses. Two groups of students taking the same course in successive semesters have been solving tasks. Their solutions are categorised and analysed to create a picture of how students reason about limits.

T1 - Making Pythagoras Count
AN - 62104746; EJ744023
AB - This article discusses Pythagoras' theorem, typically, it is introduce to students in the junior years of secondary school. Students consolidate their understanding of the theorem by using it for finding missing sides of triangles and for checking whether a given triangle has a right angle. But the topic often seems to dry up rapidly once these few practical applications are exhausted. The purpose of this article is to suggest some ways to enliven the topic of Pythagoras' theorem, at least for senior secondary students. The author investigates the concepts of Pythagorean triples and making complex equations much simpler for students to understand. A problem-solving activity is presented.

T1 - Investigating Functions Using Real-World Data
AN - 62104606; EJ744021
AB - The possibilities for using graphic calculators to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics are great. However, the boundaries explode when these powerful tools for learning are connected to data logging devices: a whole new approach to mathematics learning becomes possible. Using real world data to introduce the main functions (which are the bread-and-butter of high school mathematics) invites an experimental approach to the subject and encourages students to engage actively in their learning, as participants rather than as passive spectators. This paper describes a classroom activity which offers four different methods for producing a sinusoidal curve and so provides a suitable introduction to or consolidation of trigonometric functions.

AB - The activity "First One Home" in the Shell Centre's "Problems with Patterns and Numbers" Blue Box gives rise to a number of interesting patterns for those looking beyond the basic solution given in the book. The game is for two players, each taking turn and turn about to move a single counter on the grid down and/or to the left until one or the other player can put the counter on the FINISH square. Each move can cover as many squares as the mover likes, within the confines of the grid, but cannot change direction; and the direction must be either directly to the left, directly down, or diagonally down to the left. In this article, the author discusses the solution and winning strategy of the "First One Home" game. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)

AB - This article examines an innovative question taken from the 1988 Extension 1 (3 unit) Mathematics New South Wales Higher School Certificate examination. Similar questions have made regular subsequent appearances in trial examinations around NSW and many texts now devote whole chapters to the subtle and somewhat laborious process of establishing the largest co-efficient in a binomial expansion. This article produces a closed form solution to all questions of this type. The author points out the limitations of the illustrated approach and investigates the intriguing manner in which the greatest coefficient moves about. The content of the article is accessible to advanced mathematics students in the final year of high school and is of particular value to Extension 1 and 2 students in the NSW Higher School Certificate. A number of discussion points and extension problems to facilitate possible classroom discussions are presented. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1 - Computer Algebra System Calculators: Gender Issues and Teachers' Expectations
AN - 62103608; EJ744033
AB - In this paper we present findings from two studies focusing on computer algebra system (CAS) calculators. In Victoria, Australia, it is currently mandatory for students to use graphics calculators in some grade 12 mathematics examinations. Since 2001, a pilot study has been conducted involving Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) students using CAS calculators instead of graphics calculators. From 2006-2008 the CAS calculator will be optional; from 2009 it is expected to replace the graphics calculator. The first study described here involves an exploration over a three-year time frame, 2002-2004, of male and female students' results in the grade 12 Mathematical Methods subject in which students used graphics calculators and small numbers of students in the pilot study, Mathematical Methods (CAS) subject, who used CAS calculators. The findings indicated a widening of the gender gap in performance favouring males. In the second study, teachers' views of the likely impact of the widespread use of CAS calculators were examined. Teachers were generally positive about the introduction of the CAS calculators and their impacts on teaching, student learning, and the curriculum. The implications of the findings of the two studies are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.)

In this article, the author argues three things: (1) that there can be a substantial disjunction between the assumptions and content of mathematics textbooks and the knowledge and experiences which students draw on in engaging with those texts; (2) that this disjunction applies particularly to those students who are unsuccessful with this form of learning; and (3) that an alternative approach, extending the work of Lave and Wenger (1991) and Wenger (1998) on communities of practice, offers a more inclusive and effective means of promoting mathematical understanding for such students. Forty-three young people took part individually in 20-30 minute semi-structured interviews. The students provided accounts of their experiences of learning mathematics in school and TAFE. Selected excerpts are utilised to demonstrate that shaping of an identity of participation for some students is influenced by the practice of using textbooks in classrooms. Results show that students chose not to participate in their learning because of personal learning difficulties. While this may be the case, a close analysis suggests that these students may never win. That is, despite their efforts to try, learning mathematics from a text, with little or no support from the teacher, just became too difficult. Such taken for granted practices contribute to the maintenance of unequal relations in some mathematics classrooms. In consequence, when students contest or challenge these relations they are either coerced or eliminated from the classroom. In some instances, this exclusion may contribute to students leaving school early. Through this process, students are blamed for their inability to learn, when in fact the opposite may be the case: the taken for granted practice of using textbooks for all learners positions students as have learning difficulties or who are problems in the classroom.

T1 - Learning to Read in Mathematics Classrooms
AN - 62102655; EJ743592
AB - Reading in mathematics classrooms needs to be an active part of the learning process. If it continues to be viewed as a passive way to gain information, then its benefit to the learning process will also continue to be under-utilised. The "Read--Think--Do (x2)" model, designed by these authors and described in this article, can be a support to students to become more active readers. However, teachers need to show students how to make use of the model and to encourage them to do so. By having the model on a wall in the classroom, teachers can be reminded to ask questions as their students are reading. Changing students' reading habits will need constant reinforcement and will not occur quickly. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

T1 - Easing Students' Transition to Algebra
AN - 62102641; EJ743595
AB - Traditionally, students learn arithmetic throughout their primary schooling, and this is seen as the ideal preparation for the learning of algebra in the junior secondary school. The four operations are taught and rehearsed in the early years and from this, it is assumed, "children will induce the fundamental structure of arithmetic" (Warren & Pierce, 2004, p. 294). Recent research has shown that the emphasis on computation can actually lead to many misconceptions in the students' minds, which in turn will make the learning of algebra more difficult. This article will focus on two categories of student misconceptions, the first concerns difficulties with the notion of equivalence and the second concerns difficulties with the application of the four operations. The last section of the article presents suggestions on easing the transition to algebra through problem-solving. (Contains 4 figures.)

AB - If one rolls a coin across a chessboard and it comes to rest on the board, what is the probability that it covers some corner of one of the grid squares? The online magazine "Plus" (2004) posed this problem for students to solve. It is a useful problem for several reasons: it introduces the idea of probability in a continuous sample space, it has a historical background worth exploring and it can be simulated easily using a computer program.

T1 - Teachers of Mathematics or Numeracy?
AN - 62102443; EJ743596
AB - According to this author, the solution to the "phonics versus whole language" debate over the teaching of reading is balance and a focus on the needs of all students. There is similarly a need, in developing numerate young people, to focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics and mathematics skills some of the time, and on application and tasks some of the time (not necessarily at discrete times). Clearly the balance needs to be flexible and dependent on the particular needs of any group of students at any particular time. Inappropriate balance--too much mathematics and not enough application or too much application and not enough mathematics-- will result in students who are not numerate. In this context, this author contends that all teachers of mathematics must also explicitly see themselves as teachers of numeracy. (Contains 3 figures.)

AN - 62101936; EJ743766
AB - This article describes Cryptography, defined as the science of encrypting and deciphering messages written in secret codes, it has played a vital role in securing information since ancient times. There are several cryptographic techniques and many make extensive use of mathematics to secure information. The author discusses an activity built around one of the techniques that illustrates an application of matrices. Secondary school teachers may use this activity to consolidate their students' learning of certain concepts of matrices such as the algorithm for matrix multiplication and the concept of the multiplicative inverse of a matrix. It is hoped that this activity, not only offers teachers great opportunities to either introduce or consolidate certain mathematical concepts and algorithms, but also to convince their students that mathematics plays an important role in various walks of life and hence is a useful and meaningful field of study.

AB - Imagine being able to engage students in learning statistics. Teachers would need their students to have access to a large database of real data, preferably about students. It would be even better if students were part of the database. Ideally, the data would enable students to ask questions of interest to them. For a teacher, it would be desirable to have a project that meets the requirements of today's curriculum and modern teaching practice. Just for good measure, the project should be able to use technology in a meaningful way. "CensusAtSchool" enables teachers and students to take samples of raw Australia-wide data from a large database that contains the answers to questions that the students have provided, and can be used to investigate questions of interest.

AB - In this article, we report findings from a study in which the daily lives of novice and experienced secondary mathematics teachers in Victoria were tracked. Two novice and two experienced teachers were also interviewed. Data collection focused on the activities the teachers undertook in and out of working hours, and their reactions to them. The range of tasks was found to be extensive, and stretched well beyond formal school hours. There were similarities and differences in the activities and work patterns of the experienced and novice teachers, and in what they found stressful. Administrative tasks were more likely to be the cause of stress for the experienced teachers; teaching-related activities for the novice teachers. (Contains 2 tables and 3 figures.)

T1 - Issues Concerning the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics and Numeracy in Australian Schools
AN - 62101111; EJ743586
AB - For over 30 years this author has been involved in the teaching and learning of mathematics and numeracy in Australian schools, teaching in high schools (Years 8-12) for more than 20 years at different school settings ranging from rural and remote to inner city, high socio-economic status schools to schools of students mostly from poorer, lower socioeconomic status parents. During this time, she has gained a relatively comprehensive view of the issues and challenges facing the profession in relation to the improvement of student mathematics and numeracy outcomes. This paper attempts to share these views for the benefit of teachers, schools, school administrators and curriculum developers, in the hope that by articulating the issues some clarity will be achieved which will in turn shape efforts to address them.

T1 - The Wording of a Proof: Hardy's Second "Elegant" Proof--The Pythagorean School's Irrationality of Square Root of 2
AN - 62100922; EJ743593
AB - One of the most interesting and important proofs in the history of mathematics is the Pythagorean school's proof of the "irrationality" of the square root of 2. After a brief look at G. H. Hardy (1941) thoughts regarding it, two versions of the classic Pythagorean proof are examined and discussed in this article, one written by an American professor (King, 1992) and the other by an Australian mathematician, author and lecturer (Arianrhod, 2003). A 16-year-old student of Vietnamese/Chinese background is asked to prioritise the versions--which version is easiest to understand? (Contains 1 figure.)

T1 - Paper Folding in the Middle School Classroom and Beyond
AN - 62100903; EJ743584
AB - This article discusses how paper folding can be used in the classroom to introduce the standard results of school geometry, such as the transversal and parallel lines results, along with results concerning angles in convex polygons and centres of triangles, for example. Angle bisectors, midpoints, perpendiculars are all straightforward "constructions" for the paper folder. If translucent paper is used it renders easy tasks such as duplicating an angle or a segment to any position desired. Paper folding encourages students toward conjecture and invites the teacher to reflect upon the meaning of proof. Results are made plausible by simple observations associated with the folding of paper. A significant benefit of the paper folding technique is its accessibility to students and the affective benefits this confers. (Contains 1 table.)

AB - In this article the development of two teachers as they make the transition from pre-service teachers to experienced teachers is examined. While these teachers participated in the same mathematics methods course and similar collaborative environments in their practicum experiences, their mathematics classroom instructional practices revealed stark differences by the time they were experienced teachers. In an effort to investigate these differences, the teachers' beliefs were explored in relation to those promoted in their pre-service course and in relation to their implementation of current mathematics education reform practices. Interview Protocols are appended. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)

T1 - The Mathematical Knowledge and Understanding Young Children Bring to School
AN - 62032587; EJ766063
AB - As part of the Victorian Early Numeracy Research Project, over 1400 Victorian children in the first (Preparatory) year of school were assessed in mathematics by their classroom teachers. Using a task-based, one-to-one interview, administered during the first and last month of the school year, a picture emerged of the mathematical knowledge and understanding that young children bring to school, and the changes in this knowledge and understanding during the first year of school. A major feature of this research was that high quality, robust information on young children's mathematical understanding was collected for so many children. An important finding was that much of what has traditionally formed the mathematics curriculum for the first year of school was already understood clearly by many children on arrival at school. In this article, data on children's understanding are shared, and some implications for classroom practice are discussed. (Contains 12 tables.)

T1 - Forming Conjectures within a Spreadsheet Environment
AN - 62031734; EJ768247
AB - This paper is concerned with the use of spreadsheets within mathematical investigational tasks. Considering the learning of both children and pre-service teaching students, it examines how mathematical phenomena can be seen as a function of the pedagogical media through which they are encountered. In particular, it shows how pedagogical apparatus influence patterns of social interaction, and how this interaction shapes the mathematical ideas that are engaged with. Notions of conjecture, along with the particular faculty of the spreadsheet setting, are considered with regard to the facilitation of mathematical thinking. Employing an interpretive perspective, a key focus is on how alternative pedagogical media and associated discursive networks influence the way that students form and test informal conjectures.

T1 - Applying the Rasch Rating Scale Model to Gain Insights into Students' Conceptualisation of Quality Mathematics Instruction
AN - 62027267; EJ766550
AB - Teacher quality has become a national policy concern in the US, especially in mathematics. This study provides insights into the conceptualisation of high quality mathematics teaching from the perspective of approximately 750 students in grades nine through twelve. Results from Rasch analysis yield information about the quality of the "Mathematics Quality Survey" constructed for this study and the hierarchy of items representing varying levels of quality as perceived by the students. Group interviews with teachers and open-ended responses from students are used to support the findings. This study lays the groundwork for understanding the difference between being qualified and being a quality teacher. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)

T1 - Effects of Classroom Instruction on Students' Understanding of Quadratic Equations
AN - 62025431; EJ766062
AB - Two hundred and thirty-one students in six Grade 9 classes in two government secondary schools located near Chiang Mai, Thailand, attempted to solve the same 18 quadratic equations before and after participating in 11 lessons on quadratic equations. Data from the students' written responses to the equations, together with data in the form of transcripts of 36 interviews with 18 interviewees (a high performer, a medium performer, and a low performer from each of the six classes), were analysed. Using a rubric for assessing students' understanding, the analysis revealed that at the post-teaching stage students improved their performance on quadratic equations and had a better understanding of associated concepts than they had at the pre-teaching stage. However, many were still confused about the concepts of a variable and of a "solution" to a quadratic equation. After the lessons, most students had acquired neither an instrumental nor a relational understanding of the mathematics associated with solving elementary quadratic equations.

T1 - Assessing Effects of Technology Usage on Mathematics Learning
AN - 62023070; EJ768243
AB - Computer-based technologies are now commonplace in classrooms, and the integration of these media into the teaching and learning of mathematics is supported by government policy in most developed countries. However, many questions about the impact of computer-based technologies on classroom mathematics learning remain unanswered, and debates about when and how they ought to be used continue. An increasing number of studies seek to identify the effects of technology usage on classroom learning, and at a time when governments are calling for "evidence-based" policy development, many studies applying quasi-scientific methodologies to this field of practice are emerging. By analysing a series of conceptual frameworks for assessing the use of computer-based technologies to support school learning, this article emphasises the value of research into the relationship between technical and conceptual aspects of technology use in mathematics education and beyond, and challenges the usefulness of large-scale, quasi-scientific studies that focus on educational inputs and outputs.

T1 - Surveying Primary Teachers about Compulsory Numeracy Testing: Combining Factor Analysis with Rasch Analysis
AN - 62019350; EJ766551
AB - This paper reports the use of several quantitative analytic methods, including Rasch analysis, to re-examine teacher responses to questionnaire items probing opinions related to the compulsory numeracy tests conducted in Years 3, 5, and 7 in Queensland, Australia. Nisbet and Grimbeek (2004) previously reported an interpretable and statistically acceptable 6-factor exploratory factor solution. The present paper improved on this outcome by utilising Rasch analysis to identify items with orderly sequences of scores across response categories, and to subject these to fresh exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The resulting 3-factor scale proved acceptable in terms of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis as well as in terms of Rasch item analysis. The paper briefly discusses the implications of these outcomes in relation to the refined instrument's capacity to gather information about how teachers view the Queensland numeracy reporting system.

T1 - Algebra Students' Difficulty with Fractions: An Error Analysis
AN - 62018603; EJ765838
AB - An analysis of the 1990 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) found that only 46 percent of all high school seniors demonstrated success with a grasp of decimals, percentages, fractions and simple algebra. This article investigates error patterns that emerge as students attempt to answer questions involving the ability to apply fraction concepts and perform operations on fractions, providing a source to assist teachers in detecting and correcting common mistakes students make when manipulating fractional numbers. The analysis is based on a twenty-five question test covering five categories: (1) Algorithmic applications; (2) Applications of basic fraction concepts in word problems; (3) Elementary algebraic concepts; (4) Specific arithmetic skills that are a prerequisite to algebra; and (5) Comprehension of the structure of rational numbers. Each test question is briefly analyzed and examples of both common and unique errors are included. Implications for practice are discussed and recommendations proposed.

T1 - Why Teachers Matter
AN - 62018477; EJ765835
AB - Wondering whether they are really making a difference to young people's mathematics learning is a question that most teachers have probably wrestled with at some stage of their careers. However, evidence from a multitude of research studies shows that students' mathematics learning and their dispositions towards mathematics are indeed influenced--for better or for worse--by the teaching that they experience at school (see Mewborn, 2003, for a review of this research). In other words, teachers "do" matter. It is difficult for researchers to specify exactly how different types of teaching and teacher qualities affect student achievement because this would require untangling the complicated relationships that exist between teacher characteristics, teaching practices, and student learning. Nevertheless, the general trends in these relationships are clear. In this article, the author illustrates some of these trends by drawing on her experiences in working with pre-service and practicing mathematics teachers and their students. In doing so, she proposes three reasons why teachers matter. She then gives some examples of "how" teachers can matter to their students in a more practical sense. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

T1 - The Case of Bruce: A Teacher's Model of His Students' Algebraic Thinking about Equivalent Expressions
AN - 62018439; EJ766064
AB - The purpose of this article is to describe a middle school mathematics teacher's model of his students' responses to algebraic tasks involving equivalent expressions and the distributive property. The teacher engaged in two model-eliciting activities designed for teachers by creating a library of his students' work and an accompanying "Ways of Thinking"[WOT] sheet (Doerr & Lesh, 2003). These activities were designed to help reveal the teachers' models of students' algebraic thinking and to promote the development of that model. Results of the analysis showed that the teacher developed a clearer understanding of the role of a variable in algebraic instruction. The teacher employed visual strategies for the first time and began to perceive their usefulness in helping students understand the equivalence of two expressions. (Contains 8 figures.)

T1 - The Importance of Mathematics Teachers' Beliefs
AN - 62017619; EJ765836
AB - It is widely acknowledged that what teachers believe influences their teaching, yet the focus of much professional learning remains on influencing the specific practices and tools that teachers employ in their classrooms. In this article, it is argued that a greater and more explicit focus on teachers' beliefs would be beneficial. To this end, an overview of aspects of the understandings of the nature of beliefs is presented followed by findings from a recent study that examined mathematics teachers' beliefs and their impact on classroom practice. Finally, implications for mathematics teachers and those involved in designing and implementing professional learning for both teachers and pre-service teachers are suggested.

T1 - Algebraic Generalisation Strategies: Factors Influencing Student Strategy Selection
AN - 62013560; EJ768242
AB - This study reports on the algebraic generalisation strategies used by two fifth grade students along with the factors that appeared to influence these strategies. These students were examined over 18 instructional sessions using a teaching experiment methodology. The results highlighted the complex factors that appeared to influence student strategy use, which included: (a) input value, (b) mathematical structure of the task, (c) prior strategies, (d) visual image of the situation, and (e) social interactions with the teacher and other student. Particular combinations of these factors appeared to increase the predictability of student strategy use. However, the complex nature of the factors influencing these strategies demonstrates the challenges that exist in encouraging students to move toward more sophisticated strategies.

AN - 62012009; EJ768244
AB - This study examined the development of a mathematics teacher's proficiency in managing whole-class discussion in the context of an inquiry-based classroom. We analysed three lessons taught with the same class by a teacher-researcher. The first and second lessons were 10 months apart, the second and third lessons were 6 months apart. For each of the three lessons the analysis was carried out at two levels: macro-level analysis was applied to the general organisation of the inquiry-based lesson and micro-level analysis was applied to both the teacher's structure of the discussion and to the quality of the discussion. Based on the two-level analysis we formulate criteria to define teacher proficiency and demonstrate the enhancement of proficiency through teaching. (Contains 7 figures.)

T1 - Pedagogies for the Engagement of Girls in the Learning of Proportional Reasoning through Technology Practice
AN - 62011712; EJ768246
AB - This paper reports the results of two interventions involving the integrated study of mathematics and technology practice to girls in Years 6 and 7. The focus of the study was to look at factors that contributed to girls' disengagement with mathematics study and seek pedagogical solutions for this. The key mathematics concepts embedded in the two interventions were proportional reasoning and ratio. A design based research methodology was adopted. The study started with the assumption that by integrating mathematics study with technology practice students would see the mathematics as authentic and understandable. The results of the first intervention indicated that a significant proportion of the girls did not develop the hoped for improvement in perceptions about the value of studying mathematics through technology practice, despite an improvement in their understanding of proportion and ratio. These results informed the second intervention in which modified tasks and pedagogy were implemented. The results of the second intervention were similar in terms of cognitive outcomes. However, when students were given explicit scaffolding in "within" and "beyond" the domain of mathematics integration as well as tasks that they considered authentic, student perceptions of mathematics study improved.

T1 - Meeting the Needs of Gifted Mathematics Students
AN - 61935467; EJ793929
AB - As educators it is crucial to cater to and meet all learning needs of students, including the needs of gifted and talented students. It is highly probable that each year in their classrooms teachers will have students that are advanced in mathematics and this will pose a challenge for them as teachers to meet their learning needs. Johnson (2000) states that, due to the sequential nature of mathematical content, pacing becomes a problem. If the situation does not change it is possible that gifted and talented students' interests in mathematics may be snuffed out and their talent may not be developed if they are not challenged. It is incorrect to conclude that they do not require special attention since it is easy for them to learn what they need to know. On the contrary, their needs dictate curriculum that is deeper, broader, and faster than what is delivered to other students. This article seeks to examine studies conducted to find the best approach to cater to advanced mathematics students, and based on the findings, to suggest possible solutions for meeting their learning needs.

AB - Rhymes are often useful teaching devices for small children, and can even become a creative resource for teaching mathematics. The students and their teachers can change many of them to better fit their environment and/or extend the rhyme so that higher numbers are involved. A number of rhymes and folk tales lend themselves to more detailed analysis by students to uncover mathematical ideas. Here, a number of examples are given for finding patterns, mapping and measurement, and estimating--all critical aspects of mathematics. (Contains 3 figures and 1 note.)

T1 - Using the Learning Federation's Learning Objects in the Classroom
AN - 61932294; EJ793913
AB - During Term 3 2004, 19 teachers and more than 400 students in six Catholic parish primary schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne trialled the new mathematics and numeracy "learning objects" from The Learning Federation (TLF). Learning objects are small, reusable digital resources that can be used with a web browser. Teachers in the trial used learning objects related to fractions, addition, subtraction, and area. TLF is a project jointly funded by the Australian Government, the states and territories, and New Zealand, with the aim of producing high quality, interactive multimedia curriculum content that supports student learning. The online content is being made freely available to all state, independent, and catholic schools in Australia and New Zealand. Based on the latest research in mathematics education and pedagogy, the resources focus on the parts of mathematics that are often the most difficult for students to learn and for teachers to teach. In this article, the authors draw upon the experiences of teachers using learning objects for the first time to demonstrate their potential for enhancing the quality of their teaching and student learning.

T1 - Guess What...?
AN - 61932251; EJ793941
AB - Teachers often encounter difficulty in teaching estimation of measurement to young children. The intention when teaching the typical "jelly bean jar" classroom activity is to help children develop estimation skills, but most children cannot conceptualise the difference between guessing and estimating. The fact is that many students view estimation as a difficult technique where their success is measured by how close their own estimation is to the teacher's estimation; a misconception that is far removed from the useful and practical experience estimating should be (Muir, 2005). The NSW Board of Studies (2002) emphasises the importance of children's participation in estimation activities through extensive practice. Teachers need to provide students with opportunities to improve their number, spatial, and measurement sense through experiential estimation. Hence, the intention of this article is to illustrate that estimation is a skill that is practical and relevant to student's lives, and to provide teachers with some purposeful strategies to help develop their students' skills in estimation.

T1 - Teaching Polygons
AN - 61930972; EJ793910
AB - Teachers assume that by the end of primary school, students should know the essentials regarding shape. For example, the NSW Mathematics K-6 syllabus states by year six students should be able manipulate, classify and draw two-dimensional shapes and describe side and angle properties. The reality is, that due to the pressure for students to achieve mastery in number, teachers often spend less time teaching about the other aspects of mathematics, especially shape (Becker, 2003; Horne, 2003). Hence, there is a need to modify the focus of mathematics education to incorporate other aspects of mathematics including shape and especially polygons. In this article, the author looks at the teaching and learning of polygons in primary classrooms by providing some essential information about polygons and some useful teaching strategies and resources.

AB - Calculators can be used in primary schools in a number of situations. They are most beneficial when working with large numbers, dealing with real data that leads to complex calculations, performing repetitive calculations, developing concepts, estimating and checking, problem solving, and looking for patterns and/or relationships. But what if the calculator is broken? This article describes the mathematics that children learned and a teacher's awareness of children's mathematical understanding, when a "broken calculator" activity was undertaken regularly over two terms.

T1 - Mathematics, Numeracy and e-Learning
AN - 61930602; EJ793932
AB - The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into school educational practice is seen as being crucial to prepare "young people to participate in and contribute to an information society that requires high levels of literacy, numeracy, technological competence and a spirit of creativity and enterprise". In National Literacy and Numeracy Week 2002, the Commonwealth Bank e-Learning Grants program was launched, and has continued annually since then, providing a total of $350 000 funding each year for literacy and numeracy e-learning projects in Australian primary schools. In the first year, applications were submitted by 1300 Government, Catholic and Independent schools, which represented almost 20% of all primary schools in Australia. Four hundred and sixty-four schools provided consent for the information contained in their applications to be analysed with the purpose of determining the characteristics of e-learning in this context. This article presents a description of the nature of the projects that focused on using ICT to support the teaching and learning of mathematics and numeracy (e-learning). The innovative ideas these schools proposed might encourage or inspire other teachers to attempt similar uses of ICT in their mathematics programs. (Contains 1 figure.)

T1 - Developing Decimal Sense
AN - 61930559; EJ793940
AB - The author recently read a research paper by Padberg (2002), in which the development of understanding associated with decimal fractions was studied. Padberg (2002) outlined the situation that existed in Germany, where students were introduced to decimal fractions in the sixth year of school. He claimed that it was assumed students would have a deep understanding of decimals because of their prior knowledge of decimals through real life associations. Germany, like Australia, operates around a decimal system, and students are frequently seeing and working with decimals in everyday situations. When decimals were introduced into the classroom, Padberg (2002) noted that it was assumed the students would easily make the transition from this real life experience to abstract notation and demonstrate a deep understanding of the concept of decimals. The results of the research, however, indicated that students did not easily make this transition from the real life concrete experiences to abstract notation used in the classroom. The author's experience as a classroom teacher in the middle years of schooling supports the conclusions of Padberg, that despite the evidence of decimals in real life and the frequent use of decimals in written and spoken form, students do not translate this background knowledge across to abstract contexts in the classroom. Thus, in this article, she describes a sequence of activities to help develop students' understandings of decimal fractions. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1 - Fractions as Division: The Forgotten Notion?
AN - 61923077; EJ793928
AB - About fifteen years ago, the author discovered an interesting activity in some materials that Malcolm Swan from the Shell Centre (University of Nottingham, UK) had developed for the English National Curriculum Council in 1991. The activity, one which has been used by several presenters in professional development workshops in Australia in recent years, involves sharing chocolate in a problem solving context. In this article, the author describes one way that he uses this exercise with teachers and middle school students: the chocolate block task. This task allows an exploration of the construct of fractions that is very useful but often neglected. The reader is invited to try any of the problems given in this article with individuals, small groups, or the entire class, and to explore their potential for assessing and developing student understanding, leading to a broader, more connected, and applicable notion of fractions.

T1 - Evaluating Online Mathematics Resources: A Practical Approach for Teachers
AN - 61922316; EJ793915
AB - Gradually Internet-based educational resources are making their way into the school mathematics curriculum. Online resources are potentially useful compared to normal courseware because of their abundance, availability at no cost, platform-free accessibility, and wide reaching accessibility. On the other hand, a major limitation of online resources is their lack of appropriate pedagogy, coupled with poor instructional design and layout. This article discusses the development of evaluation criteria for online resources and provides practical information about some key websites. The article deals with issues associated with the interface design, navigation, and user's control of an online resource. It indicates how evaluation forms and checklists can be practical tools for teachers to identify positive and negative design features of an online resource. (Contains 14 figures and 1 note.)

T1 - Using Storytelling to Teach Mathematics Concepts
AN - 61920151; EJ793906
AB - Young students often struggle with abstract concepts in mathematics, causing primary teachers to continue to search for ways to help teach such concepts. "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (NCTM, 2000) recommends using concrete models and physical materials before moving on to more abstract ideas. However, some children still have difficulties understanding concepts even with the help of manipulatives. How can teachers supplement the use of manipulatives to help boost children's understanding in mathematics? Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde (1998) recommend that students discuss, write, read, and listen to mathematical ideas in order to deepen their understanding of difficult concepts. Using storytelling as a catalyst to mathematics instruction is one enjoyable and versatile method to do just this. This article describes how storytelling can be used to introduce difficult mathematics concepts to students in primary classrooms and includes a vignette from two researchers. This story and others like its offers creative options to help children understand mathematics better.

T1 - Using Interactive Whiteboards to Enhance Mathematics Teaching
AN - 61913503; EJ793925
AB - Over the past three years, Richardson Primary School has transformed its entire educational program based around the widespread introduction of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) into the school. A review of this initiative states that "Richardson is the first school in the ACT, and probably Australia, where the total school community, the students, staff and parents, has embraced a new approach to the use of ICT, which enhances the holistic education of the students... The Richardson effort represents a near revolution in the use of ICT in schools". Early in 2005, Richardson Primary School was awarded one of the Federal Government's National Awards for Quality Schooling for Outstanding School Improvement based on the results achieved using interactive whiteboards. This article describes the new style of pedagogy that was developed to take advantage of this technology with particular reference to the teaching of mathematics. (Contains 3 figures.)

T1 - Using Repeating Patterns to Explore Functional Thinking
AN - 61913416; EJ793907
AB - Traditionally, primary schools place minimal emphasis upon relations and transformations as objects of study. In their research, the authors have found the young children can engage in conversations about equivalence and equations (Warren & Cooper, 2005a) and functional thinking (Warren & Cooper, 2005b). Fundamental to relations and transformations is the concept of the function, that is, how the value of certain quantities relate to the value of other quantities (Chazan, 1996), or how values are changed or mapped to other quantities, referred to in the literature as co-variational thinking. This paper reports on some recent classroom teaching that attempts to examine repeating patterns and use children's understandings of repeating pattern to begin to explore concepts related to functional thinking.

T1 - Using M&Ms to Develop Statistical Literacy
AN - 61913359; EJ793916
AB - Statistical literacy is defined as "the ability to read and interpret data: the ability to use statistics as evidence in arguments. Statistical literacy is a competency: the ability to think critically about statistics" (Schield, p. 2). When a definition of statistical literacy is considered it can be seen that all students can manage a level of statistical literacy. Learning to read and interpret data provided in various forms such as tables and graphs is fundamental to the development of statistical literacy. Data gathering and interpreting activities such as those outlined in this article are designed to allow children not only to collect data but sort and organise data and then interpret data. The ability to analyse and interpret data is crucial in the development of a statistically literate population. (Contains 13 figures.)

T1 - Individual Interviews as Insight into Children's Computational Thinking
AN - 61909881; EJ793918
AB - Teachers who believe "practice makes perfect" may engage students in repetitive, perhaps timed, computational exercises. If educators teach students to understand the procedures they practice, however, they will not need as much drill and they will have more flexible use of the computations they perform. Three-quarters of a century ago, William Brownell began arguing for meaningful arithmetic. In this article, the authors describe some of Brownell's ideas about children's understanding of school arithmetic. They include transcripts of Brownell-inspired individual interviews with two second-grade students that illustrate one method for assessing computational understanding.

AB - Games are among the many types of activities that can be used to help promote number sense. Chosen and used wisely, games encourage learning and motivate many students to grasp concepts more quickly and fully. This article describes a popular and easy-to-implement number sense game--called Digits and Dice--most commonly used in conjunction with teaching place value. Variations of the game are described, in addition to ways in which the game may be extended to other number concepts that span the elementary and middle grades. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1 - Analysis of an Online Case Discussion about Teaching Stochastics
AN - 61883368; EJ836490
AB - Online learning, case discussions, and stochastics instruction have all become increasingly active strands of research in mathematics education. This study integrates the three strands. The nature of the discourse during an online case discussion among prospective secondary teachers is analysed. The case focused on the teaching and learning of a version of a classic statistical sampling problem. Participants formed several threads of conversation in discussing the case. During the online discussion, the prospective teachers conversed about multiple elements embedded in the case, including: mathematical issues, assessment of students, pedagogical strategies, the context of the case, and writing choices made by the case author. The discussion also contained substantive contributions from individuals who were normally silent in face-to-face class sessions, and allowed extended time for participants to craft responses to one another.

T1 - Mathematical Attitudes, Beliefs and Achievement in Primary Pre-Service Mathematics Teacher Education
AN - 61882971; EJ836489
AB - This paper reports on a study focused upon 83 pre-service primary teachers in their first mathematics pedagogy subject at the University of Western Sydney. They completed three surveys: an achievement test of the mathematics they would be expected to teach; a survey of their beliefs about mathematics, mathematics teaching and mathematics learning; and a survey of their attitudes towards mathematics. The experiences and beliefs of pre-service teachers influence the formation of attitudes and these, in turn, influence their classroom practices and beliefs. These beliefs, attitudes and practices may sometimes be at variance with the main direction of their tertiary teaching methods courses. Thus, it is crucial in assisting pre-service teachers to understand their own beliefs, attitudes and practices, and that these are made explicit and examined. This paper reports the data from the achievement test, belief survey and the attitude survey, and investigates the relationships between these data. The results from this study show some connections, although relatively weak, among the three constructs and lead us to speculate on possible reasons for these. (Contains 6 tables.)

T1 - The Impact of the School-Based Practicum on Pre-Service Teachers' Affective Development in Mathematics
AN - 61880287; EJ836488
AB - An integral part of all initial teacher education programs is the school-based practicum where pre-service teachers get an opportunity to develop their teaching skills and knowledge in a classroom setting. Many have suggested that these experiences are very powerful in shaping pre-service teachers' views of teaching because they are perceived as being "real" as opposed to the "artificial" environment of the tertiary courses. This can mean that the practicum experiences can legitimate or negate the learning of the tertiary courses. In particular, pre-service teachers can make significant positive changes in their affective responses to mathematics, but the longevity and stability of these changes can be challenged through their school-based practicum experiences.

AB - We report the development of an assessment instrument that provides a profile of the attainment and the errors of pre-service primary teachers across the mathematics curriculum. We describe test development, analyses and test validation involving a sample of 426 pre-service teachers in the first year of their training in primary education courses in Australia. We discuss a range of errors, strategies and misconceptions made across different strands of the mathematics curriculum and show that pre-service teachers are making the same errors as children. A second sample of 86 pre-service teachers in England was used to validate the test. We also describe how these pre-service teachers in the second year of their program made sense of their personalised diagnostic profile from the test in order to develop their mathematics subject knowledge.

AB - This paper reports on the use of a profiling instrument to evaluate an in-service professional development program for teachers of middle school numeracy. Two aspects of the use of the profile are reported. One relates to the aims of the profile to reflect Lee Shulman?s seven types of teacher knowledge and to measure change in teachers with respect to them. The second relates to the success of the program and how this was judged from responses to the profile. Although the providers of the program were mainly interested in this second aspect, mathematics educators more generally should be more interested in the first due to recent trends to demand evidence-based evaluations of teacher professional development programs.

AB - A "convex" polygon is one with no re-entrant angles. Alternatively one can use the standard convexity definition, asserting that for any two points of the convex polygon, the line segment joining them is contained completely within the polygon. In this article, the author provides a solution to a problem involving convex lattice polygons.

AB - Starting from Eric Hobsbawm's ideas on "protonationalisms" in 18th- & 19th-century Europe, ideas on national identity expressed in the state philosophy of Brunei Darussalam are explored. Following a brief history of the Bruneian monarchy, its attempts to achieve legitimacy according to the principle of Negara Melayu Islam Beraja (Malay Islamic monarchy) is examined, highlighting the role of this national philosophy in helping stabilize this multiethnic & multireligious state. Stages in the processes of religious & ethnocultural legitimization are outlined & implications for the future stability of the state are considered. References. K. Hyatt Stewart

T1 - Places to Call Home -- Household/Land/Homeland: Domains of Modernity in the Malay Novel
AN - 61652023; 200719471
AB - Part of a special journal issue exploring the nature of modernity & its manifestations in historical & literary texts of the Malay-Indonesian world, examined here is a selection of Malay fictional narratives published during the colonial period in the 1920s. Focus is on their treatment of the domestic space of the home & household & ideas on how individual autonomy in the private sphere extended to rights of ownership in the public sphere & the notion of a Malay homeland. Ways that such narratives experimented with new styles, structures, & characters to evolve as a new genre of prose fiction -- the novel -- by the late 1940s are demonstrated. Differences between the style & purpose of such fiction & that of nonfiction works published by Malay intellectuals or "ideologues" in various newspapers & journals are described; common themes centered on the benefits of modernity are also identified.

T1 - The Malthusian Narrative of Java's Demographic Paradigm Revisited
AN - 61592626; 200708056
AB - From a multidisciplinary perspective, argues that the applicability of the well-entrenched Malthusian demographic paradigm, governed by declining mortality & economic stasis, to Java's population growth & socioeconomic dynamics needs to be rethought. Attention is given to outlining problems with Clifford Geertz's (1963) work on Java before considering new population statistics for 19th- & early-20th-century Java, which reveal a picture far different from the received view. Data quality & methodological issues related to this statistical data are discussed before looking at the speculative character of the received view's treatment of demographic factors underlying Japanese population growth. It is argued that there is evidence that people worked to keep fertility under marriage through various means, eg, late marriage, which contributed to much lower population growth. Focus turns to the demographic-economic interaction, particularly post-1830 economic change, which produced what is suggested to be a homeostatic demographic regime in Java. Tables, Figures. D.

T1 - An Integrated Approach to Expand One Federal Government EAP's Role Beyond Disaster Response
AN - 61392819; 200801080
AB - SUMMARY. In view of the world events of the past several years, the demand on organizations to have dynamic disaster preparedness and management systems in place is growing exponentially as the immediate and long-term effects and the potential disruptive impact of natural disasters, acts and threats of terrorism, and other crisis situations has increased for organizations, the workplace and the work force. Whether the employer is an international private sector enterprise, an independent labor organization, a governmental agency, or a small non-profit entity, the demands on work organizations and their employees is extensive in times of crisis or when responding to a specific disaster or traumatic incident, whether natural or man-made. As evident by the advent of an entire industry of consultants and organizations providing disaster preparedness, planning, response, and management services, the workplace has indeed become the playing field for a patchwork of disaster and trauma related services and strategies, many of which are disparate and disconnected from the very work force upon which the execution of the disaster response plan or the continuity of business operations is dependent. This author will build upon the conclusions of a recent study indicating that the "human capital" dimensions of disaster preparedness and management are often overlooked in such planning and execution efforts, while advancing the idea that employee assistance programs provide not only a logical but an ideal fit for that void. By offering some examples from one federal EAP's evolving efforts in this area, the author will offer a discussion of various approaches, strategies, activities, and partnerships that an EAP affords the employee assistance practitioner-a collection of capabilities that are inherent in the very conceptual framework and fundamental premise on which EAPs in the workplace have been built, and of the possibilities that can be realized as that EAP becomes well-positioned and fully integrated into the workplace, bringing value to and providing vital resources to the work organization and the work force in preparation for, response to, and management of disasters, traumatic events and other crisis situations to which more and more employers and labor organizations around the globe are prone-ultimately enhancing the value of the EAP to the organization and to their collective continuity of operations planning and execution.

T1 - Does the Open Economy Assumption Really Mean that Labor Bears the Burden of a Capital Income Tax?
AN - 59954495; 2007-00040
AB - While most policymakers believe that domestic labor, not domestic capital, bears most of the long-term burden of a corporate income tax in an open economy due to the ability of capital to move across borders, this study, using imperfect product substitution with a multi-sector open-economy model, demonstrates that much of the burden may fall on capital. However, if savings falls sufficiently, much of the burden shifts to labor, but this is also true in a closed economy. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Zaman ini: Making Time the Same As Money in Nineteenth-Century Sarawak
AN - 59769398; 200715905
AB - Part of a special journal issue exploring the nature of modernity & its manifestations in historical & literary texts of the Malay-Indonesian world, two 19th-century works are drawn on to document attempts by the Malay in the Sarawak River region to secularize human conceptions of the environment & to commercialize human approaches to agriculture. The parable Hikayat Panglima Nikosa, written by an administrative official/school headmaster Encik Ahmad Shawal bin Abdul Hamidis, is analyzed in terms of its understanding of zaman ini (present age) & how it attempted to reorient the Malay people from religion & ritual to more secular & economic concerns. Support for Shawal's ideas is found in issues of the Sarawak Gazette published during the 1870s. References. K. Hyatt Stewart

AN - 59762597; 200717433
AB - Comments are offered on the essays in this volume by James Davison Hunter & Alan Wolfe (both, 2007) in which they reiterate & update their arguments concerning the culture war(s) in the US. Though "combatants on both sides are declaring victory" in this war & declaring the battle over (or, as some claim, never a reality to begin with), it is suggested that the war has merely shifted direction. Proclamations by conservatives that they have created alternatives in areas that were once exclusively liberal domains -- cable TV, the Internet, & book publishing -- are rejected; both antiliberal & anticonservative elements of the new "South Park conservatism" are exposed, as are the fictions behind alleged returns to "family values" & "traditional morality." Rather, it is argued that deeper structural problems in society are becoming manifest, eg, the replacement of the traditional institution of marriage with "hooking up." Examples of the "vulgarization of high culture" & the "degradation of popular culture" are examined, & it is concluded that, though conservatives may be "winning the war" over one sense of culture, they are losing the war over popular culture by default & "willful inattention.".

T1 - Literature, Politics and the Public Imagination in the Late Colonial Netherlands Indies
AN - 59761168; 200714876
AB - Part of a special journal issue exploring the nature of modernity & its manifestations in historical & literary texts of the Malay-Indonesian world, examined here are historiographies that chronicle the Indonesian nationalist movement from its origins in 1908 through its maturation & the emergence of a national consciousness in 1928 to the declaration of Indonesian independence on 17 Aug 1945. This standard chronology is challenged for its assumption that the nationalist project was completely voluntary & noncoercive & enjoyed widespread popular support. The impact of Dutch colonial repression, 1928-1942, in limiting participation in & support for the nationalist agenda is explored, drawing largely on two novels from the period recently rediscovered & republished in the post-Suharto climate of openness. Both supply new insights into the public imagination & role of Sino-Indonesians in the political & cultural landscape of the colonial era. K. Hyatt Stewart

T1 - Who Needs the United Nations? We All Do
AN - 59726693; 200700150
AB - In this article in the symposium on UN Reform, the author reflects on the current US/UN relationship that struggles in an environment of global threats very different from the international environment at the advent of the international organization sixty years ago. Terrorism, HIV/AIDS, and environmental degradation are asserted to require international cooperation & coordination of the 191 member states. The two overriding national security challenges of America, defined as radical fundamentalism & weapons of mass destruction (WMD), also require alliances & enforcement of rules that failed in the approach to Iraq, but can be the basis for dealing with Iran. The stabilizing role of the UN in war-stricken regions through provision of aid & disaster relief, is contrasted with the need for structural reforms. The US is concluded to benefit from an effective UN, and the vision of the founders presented in Article One of the UN Charter is more important than ever. J. Harwell

T1 - The future of cataloging.
AN - 57685962; 481891
AB - This paper explores cataloging in the Age of Google. It considers what the technologies now being adopted mean for cataloging in the future. The author begins by exploring how digital-era students do research - they find using Google easier than using libraries. Mass digitization projects now are bringing into question the role that library cataloging has traditionally performed. The author asks readers to consider if the detailed attention librarians have been paying to descriptive cataloging can still be justified, and if cost-effective means for access should be considered.

T1 - Appearance Culture in Nine- to 12-Year-Old Girls: Media and Peer Influences on Body Dissatisfaction
AN - 57220556; 200714994
AB - Little research has investigated socio-cultural factors in the development of body dissatisfaction in preadolescent girls. This study examined the combined influence of media and peer factors. The participants were 100 girls aged nine to 12 years. The girls completed questionnaire measures of media exposure (television and magazines), peer influences (appearance norms, appearance conversations), internalization and body dissatisfaction. Their height and weight were also measured. About half (49 percent) of the girls displayed a desire to be thinner. The influence of socio-cultural factors was confirmed in addition to biological determinants, such as body mass index. Their exposure to appearance-focused media was not directly related to their body dissatisfaction, but was indirectly related via their conversations about appearance among peers. The path analysis showed that peer appearance conversations demonstrated a significant relationship with internalization of thin ideals, which was, in turn, significantly related to body dissatisfaction. Like their adolescent counterparts, preadolescent girls are also exposed to appearance ideals presented in the media and manifested among peers. The results provided evidence for the existence of an 'appearance culture' consisting of interrelated media and peer influences among girls as young as nine to 12 years of age. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Zimbabwe: A Commentary
AN - 57101526; 200702068
AB - An introduction to a special issue on, "Orphans & other vulnerable children in Zimbabwe," notes that the theme grew out of a conversation between national non-governmental organizations that concluded much needs to be done even though some excellent programs for orphans & other vulnerable children have been developed in Zimbabwe in spite of financial limitations & a complex operating environment. Special attention is given to the significant increase in the number of orphans & HIV-infected children as a result of Zimbabwe's extremely high rate of infection. The papers in this issue provide a comprehensive assessment of program gaps & key priority issues that must be addressed. Taken together, they present a clear picture of the destructiveness of the loss & separation generated by the AIDS/HIV epidemic; efforts currently underway to help orphans & other vulnerable children; & policy issues that need urgent action & additional resources. The goal is to encourage policymakers, donors, researchers, & communities to find new ways to address the challenges presented by orphans & other vulnerable children. J. Lindroth

T1 - Specific Risk Assessment Based on Victim Type in Child Sexual Offenders
AN - 57095944; 200800977
AB - Actuarial instruments for assessing sex offender recidivism have limited utility for specific risk assessment questions, such as the risk posed to particular types of victim. In order to obtain variables that discriminate between offenders with different classes of victim, data were coded from 324 files of child sexual offenders from a community-based sexual offender treatment program. Offenders with single or multiple victims were compared, as were offenders who did or did not offend against victims of both genders, and offenders with only intra-familial or extra-familial victims versus offenders with victims in both relationship categories. Variables that discriminated single-victim and multiple-victim offenders were similar to those identified in actuarial risk assessment scales, with the exception of history of childhood sexual abuse. With the exception of physical abuse history, the same variables discriminated specific offender groups according to victim gender and victim relationship, although in different combinations. There was limited support for the notion of specific risk variables. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - How Processing Resources Shape the Influence of Stealing Thunder on Mock-Juror Verdicts
AN - 57095246; 200800557
AB - Stealing thunder is a dissuasive tactic that involves volunteering self-incriminating information before another party does. This study investigated how the impact of stealing thunder on mock-juror judgments varied with the processing resources available to mock-jurors. Stealing thunder, thunder and no thunder conditions were contrasted under conditions that were conducive to central route processing (high elaboration) or only permitted peripheral processing (low elaboration). Results indicated that stealing thunder reduced the likelihood of guilty verdicts under peripheral, but not central route, processing conditions. Further, it appeared to do so by eliciting positive perceptions of source credibility that were then used as a peripheral cue supporting the arguments of the source. Adapted from the source document.

AB - Engineers have worked for millennia to control natural flooding through dams and levees. While the fundamental principles and challenges of holding back water have not changed, the tools brought to the task continue to evolve. Among other tools being tested and implemented today are elaborate sensors to detect stresses and strains within structures, and impermeable lining materials known as geomembranes, which are laid underneath the structure before it is built to prevent water seepage.

AB - As I continue to consider new research opportunities for the NIEHS, my desire to support research in environmental genomics grows. While the accomplishments and available tools in genetics and genomics certainly enhance my enthusiasm for this field of research, my attraction to environmental genomics stems from my belief that environmental exposures can be used to understand the role of transcriptional regulation and genetic variation in the development and progression of common yet complex human diseases.

T1 - Gene Expression Analysis of the Hepatotoxicant Methapyrilene in Primary Rat Hepatocytes: An Interlaboratory Study
AN - 21392802; 12085816
AB - Genomics technologies are used in several disciplines, including toxicology. However, these technologies are relatively new, and their applications require further investigations. When investigators apply these technologies to in vitro experiments, two major issues need to be clarified: a) can in vitro toxicity studies, in combination with genomics analyses, be used to predict the toxicity of a compound; and b) are the generated toxicogenomics data reproducible between laboratories? These questions were addressed by an interlaboratory study with laboratories of four pharmaceutical companies. We evaluated gene expression patterns from cultured rat primary hepatocytes after a 24-hr incubation with methapyrilene (MP). Extensive data analysis showed that comparison of genomics data from different sources is complex because both experimental and statistical variability are important confounding factors. However, appropriate statistical tools allowed us to use gene expression profiles to distinguish high-dose-treated cells from vehicle-treated cells. Moreover, we correctly identified MP in an independently generated in vitro database, underlining that in vitro toxicogenomics could be a predictive tool for toxicity. From a mechanistic point of view, despite the observed site-to-site variability, there was good concordance regarding the affected biologic processes. Several subsets of regulated genes were obtained by analyzing the data sets with one method or using different statistical analysis methods. The identified genes are involved in cellular processes that are associated to the exposure of primary hepatocytes to MP. Whether they are specific for MP and are cause or consequence of the toxicity requires further investigations.

T1 - A Case Study of Tire Crumb Use on Playgrounds: Risk Analysis and Communication When Major Clinical Knowledge Gaps Exist
AN - 21385710; 12085819
AB - Physicians and public health professionals working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 8 Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) received several telephone calls requesting information regarding the safety of recycled tire crumb as a playground surface constituent placed below children's play structures. There were no reported symptoms or adverse health effects in exposed children. The literature available on the safety and risk of exposure to crumb rubber constituents was limited and revealed no information quantifying exposures associated with product use. Callers were informed by the PEHSU that no evidence existed suggesting harm from intended use of the product, but gaps in knowledge about the product were identified and communicated. Here the case of crumb rubber on playgrounds is used as a model to present an approach to similar environmental medicine questions. From defining the question, to surveying traditional and nontraditional resources for information, synthesis of findings, and risk communication, the case provides a model to approach similar questions.

T1 - Blood Lead Concentrations in Children and Method of Water Fluoridation in the United States, 1988-1994
AN - 21385665; 12085813
AB - Some have hypothesized that community water containing sodium silicofluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid may increase blood lead (PbB) concentrations in children by leaching of lead from water conduits and by increasing absorption of lead from water. Our analysis aimed to evaluate the relation between water fluoridation method and PbB concentrations in children. We used PbB concentration data (n=9,477) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) for children 1-16 years of age, merged with water fluoridation data from the 1992 Fluoridation Census. The main outcome measure was geometric mean PbB concentration, and covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, poverty status, urbanicity, and length of time living in residence. Geometric mean PbB concentrations for each water fluoridation method were 2.40 microg/dL (sodium silicofluoride), 2.34 microg/dL (hydrofluosilicic acid), 1.78 microg/dL (sodium fluoride), 2.24 microg/dL (natural fluoride and no fluoride), and 2.14 microg/dL (unknown/mixed status). In multiple linear and logistic regression, there was a statistical interaction between water fluoridation method and year in which dwelling was built. Controlling for covariates, water fluoridation method was significant only in the models that included dwellings built before 1946 and dwellings of unknown age. Across stratum-specific models for dwellings of known age, neither hydrofluosilicic acid nor sodium silicofluoride were associated with higher geometric mean PbB concentrations or prevalence values. Given these findings, our analyses, though not definitive, do not support concerns that silicofluorides in community water systems cause higher PbB concentrations in children. Current evidence does not provide a basis for changing water fluoridation practices, which have a clear public health benefit.

T1 - Effects of Organochlorine Contaminants on Loggerhead Sea Turtle Immunity: Comparison of a Correlative Field Study and In Vitro Exposure Experiments
AN - 21385592; 12085807
AB - Several laboratory and field studies indicate that organochlorine contaminants (OCs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides, modulate immune responses in rodents, wildlife, and humans. In the present study we examined the effects of OCs on immunity in free-ranging loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation responses, lysozyme activity, and OC concentrations were measured from blood samples. Mitogens chosen in the lymphocyte proliferation assay were phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (ConA) for T-lymphocyte stimulation, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) for B-lymphocyte stimulation. Lysozyme activity was significantly and negatively correlated with whole-blood concentrations of 4,4 -dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (4,4 -DDE) and the sum of chlordanes. Lymphocyte proliferation responses stimulated by PHA, LPS, and PDB were significantly and positively correlated with concentrations of the sum of PCBs measured in whole blood. LPS- and PDB-induced proliferation were also significantly and positively correlated with 4,4 -DDE blood concentrations. These correlative observations in free-ranging turtles suggest that current, chronic exposure to OCs may suppress innate immunity and enhance certain lymphocyte functions of loggerhead sea turtles. To further test this hypothesis, lymphocyte proliferation was measured after in vitro exposure of peripheral blood leukocytes from 16 turtles to Aroclor 1254 (0-13.5 microg/mL) or 4,4 -DDE (0-13.4 microg/mL). Both contaminants increased PHA- and PDB-induced proliferation at concentrations below those that affected cell viability. Moreover, the concentrations that enhanced PDB-induced proliferation in vitro were similar to concentrations measured in turtles with the highest proliferative responses. The similarities between the in vitro experiments and the correlative field study suggest that OC exposure modulates immunity in loggerhead turtles.

T1 - In Vitro Immune Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Effects on Murine Macrophages, CD4sup + T Cells, and Gene Expression Profiles
AN - 21385558; 12085806
AB - Depleted uranium (DU) is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process and shares chemical properties with natural and enriched uranium. To investigate the toxic effects of environmental DU exposure on the immune system, we examined the influences of DU (in the form of uranyl nitrate) on viability and immune function as well as cytokine gene expression in murine peritoneal macrophages and splenic CD4+ T cells. Macrophages and CD4+ T cells were exposed to various concentrations of DU, and cell death via apoptosis and necrosis was analyzed using annexin-V/propidium iodide assay. DU cytotoxicity in both cell types was concentration dependent, with macrophage apoptosis and necrosis occurring within 24 hr at 100 microM DU exposure, whereas CD4+ T cells underwent cell death at 500 microM DU exposure. Noncytotoxic concentrations for macrophages and CD4+ T cells were determined as 50 and 100 microM, respectively. Lymphoproliferation analysis indicated that macrophage accessory cell function was altered with 200 microM DU after exposure times as short as 2 hr. Microarray and real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed that DU alters gene expression patterns in both cell types. The most differentially expressed genes were related to signal transduction, such as c-jun, NF- kappa Bp65, neurotrophic factors (e.g., Mdk), chemokine and chemokine receptors (e.g., TECK/CCL25), and interleukins such as IL-10 and IL-5, indicating a possible involvement of DU in cancer development, autoimmune diseases, and T helper 2 polarization of T cells. The results are a first step in identifying molecular targets for the toxicity of DU and the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms for the immune modulation ability of DU.

T1 - Recent Applications of DNA Microarray Technology to Toxicology and Ecotoxicology
AN - 21385166; 12085826
AB - Gene expression is a unique way of characterizing how cells and organisms adapt to changes in the external environment. The measurements of gene expression levels upon exposure to a chemical can be used both to provide information about the mechanism of action of the toxicant and to form a sort of "genetic signature" for the identification of toxic products. The development of high-quality, commercially available gene arrays has allowed this technology to become a standard tool in molecular toxicology. Several national and international initiatives have provided the proof-of-principle tests for the application of gene expression for the study of the toxicity of new and existing chemical compounds. In the last few years the field has progressed from evaluating the potential of the technology to illustrating the practical use of gene expression profiling in toxicology. The application of gene expression profiling to ecotoxicology is at an earlier stage, mainly because of the the many variables involved in analyzing the status of natural populations. Nevertheless, significant studies have been carried out on the response to environmental stressors both in model and in nonmodel organisms. It can be easily predicted that the development of stressor-specific signatures in gene expression profiling in ecotoxicology will have a major impact on the ecotoxicology field in the near future. International collaborations could play an important role in accelerating the application of genomic approaches in ecotoxicology.

T1 - Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in Nine California Counties: Results from CALFINE
AN - 21385127; 12085825
AB - Many epidemiologic studies provide evidence of an association between daily counts of mortality and ambient particulate matter10 microm in diameter (PM10). Relatively few studies, however, have investigated the relationship of mortality with fine particles [PM2.5 microm in diameter (PM2.5)], especially in a multicity setting. We examined associations between PM2.5 and daily mortality in nine heavily populated California counties using data from 1999 through 2002. We considered daily counts of all-cause mortality and several cause-specific subcategories (respiratory, cardiovascular, ischemic heart disease, and diabetes). We also examined these associations among several subpopulations, including the elderly (65 years of age), males, females, non-high school graduates, whites, and Hispanics. We used Poisson multiple regression models incorporating natural or penalized splines to control for covariates that could affect daily counts of mortality, including time, seasonality, temperature, humidity, and day of the week. We used meta-analyses using random-effects models to pool the observations in all nine counties. The analysis revealed associations of PM2.5 levels with several mortality categories. Specifically, a 10-microg/m3 change in 2-day average PM2.5 concentration corresponded to a 0.6% (95% confidence interval, 0.2-1.0%) increase in all-cause mortality, with similar or greater effect estimates for several other subpopulations and mortality subcategories, including respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, age65 years, females, deaths out of the hospital, and non-high school graduates. Results were generally insensitive to model specification and the type of spline model used. This analysis adds to the growing body of evidence linking PM2.5 with daily mortality.

T1 - Prevalence and Implementation of IAQ Programs in U.S. Schools
AN - 21382514; 12085811
AB - In this study, we determined the extent to which U.S. schools are implementing indoor air quality (IAQ) programs. We administered a questionnaire on IAQ programs and practices to a representative sample of schools. Participants were asked to provide information on the use, administration, implementation, challenges, and benefits of the IAQ program in their school. We developed an IAQ Practice Index to determine the level of activity directed toward IAQ in schools. The index was computed based on responses to specific survey questions and was normalized to a range of 0 to 100. Each question was weighted qualitatively according to its contribution to strong IAQ management practices. Forty-two percent of schools in the United States have an IAQ management program, and there has been sustained growth from 1998 through 2002 in the number of schools that have such programs. Nearly half of those schools use the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's IAQ Tools for Schools program. The IAQ Practice Index scores varied widely for schools with an IAQ management program, suggesting that having a program is not equivalent to implementing effective IAQ policies and procedures. Respondents indicated that their IAQ programs led to improved workplace satisfaction, fewer asthma attacks, fewer visits to the school nurse, and lower absenteeism. When actively supported by the school administration, an IAQ program appears to be a valuable factor in improving the learning environment for U.S. schoolchildren.

T1 - Perinatal Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure in Rhesus Monkeys: Critical Periods and Regional Selectivity for Effects on Brain Cell Development and Lipid Peroxidation
AN - 21374717; 12085812
AB - Perinatal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in humans elicits neurobehavioral deficits. We exposed rhesus monkeys to ETS during gestation and through 13 months postnatally, or postnatally only (6-13 months). At the conclusion of exposure, we examined cerebrocortical regions and the midbrain for cell damage markers and lipid peroxidation. For perinatal ETS, two archetypal patterns were seen in the various regions, one characterized by cell loss (reduced DNA concentration) and corresponding increases in cell size (increased protein/DNA ratio), and a second pattern suggesting replacement of larger neuronal cells with smaller and more numerous glia (increased DNA concentration, decreased protein/DNA ratio). The membrane/total protein ratio, a biomarker of neurite formation, also indicated potential damage to neuronal projections, accompanied by reactive sprouting. When ETS exposure was restricted to the postnatal period, the effects were similar in regional selectivity, direction, and magnitude. These patterns resemble the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure in rodent and primate models. Surprisingly, perinatal ETS exposure reduced the level of lipid peroxidation as assessed by the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive species, whereas postnatal ETS did not. The heart, a tissue that, like the brain, has high oxygen demand, displayed a similar but earlier decrease (2-3 months) in lipid peroxidation in the perinatal exposure model, whereas values were reduced at 13 months with the postnatal exposure paradigm. Our results provide a mechanistic connection between perinatal ETS exposure and neurobehavioral anomalies, reinforce the role of nicotine in these effects, and buttress the importance of restricting or eliminating ETS exposure in young children.

T1 - Comparison of Indoor Mercury Vapor in Common Areas of Residential Buildings with Outdoor Levels in a Community Where Mercury Is Used for Cultural Purposes
AN - 21372543; 12085809
AB - Elemental mercury has been imbued with magical properties for millennia, and various cultures use elemental mercury in a variety of superstitious and cultural practices, raising health concerns for users and residents in buildings where it is used. As a first step in assessing this phenomenon, we compared mercury vapor concentration in common areas of residential buildings versus outdoor air, in two New Jersey cities where mercury is available and is used in cultural practices. We measured mercury using a portable atomic absorption spectrometer capable of quantitative measurement from 2 ng/m3 mercury vapor. We evaluated the interior hallways in 34 multifamily buildings and the vestibule in an additional 33 buildings. Outdoor mercury vapor averaged 5 ng/m3; indoor mercury was significantly higher (mean 25 ng/m3; p0.001); 21% of buildings had mean mercury vapor concentration in hallways that exceeded the 95th percentile of outdoor mercury vapor concentration (17 ng/m3), whereas 35% of buildings had a maximum mercury vapor concentration that exceeded the 95th percentile of outdoor mercury concentration. The highest indoor average mercury vapor concentration was 299 ng/m3, and the maximum point concentration was 2,022 ng/m3. In some instances, we were able to locate the source, but we could not specifically attribute the elevated levels of mercury vapor to cultural use or other specific mercury releases. However, these findings provide sufficient evidence of indoor mercury source(s) to warrant further investigation.

T1 - Increased Risk of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Episodes Associated with Acute Increases in Ambient Air Pollution
AN - 21369864; 12085814
AB - OBJECTIVES: We reported previously that 24-hr moving average ambient air pollution concentrations were positively associated with ventricular arrhythmias detected by implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). ICDs also detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes (PAF) that result in rapid ventricular rates. In this same cohort of ICD patients, we assessed the association between ambient air pollution and episodes of PAF. DESIGN: We performed a case-crossover study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients who lived in the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area and who had ICDs implanted between June 1995 and December 1999 (n=203) were followed until July 2002. EVALUATIONS/MEASUREMENTS: We used conditional logistic regression to explore the association between community air pollution and 91 electrophysiologist-confirmed episodes of PAF among 29 subjects. RESULTS: We found a statistically significant positive association between episodes of PAF and increased ozone concentration (22 ppb) in the hour before the arrhythmia (odds ratio=2.08; 95% confidence interval=1.22, 3.54; p=0.001). The risk estimate for a longer (24-hr) moving average was smaller, thus suggesting an immediate effect. Positive but not statistically significant risks were associated with fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, and black carbon. CONCLUSIONS: Increased ambient O3 pollution was associated with increased risk of episodes of rapid ventricular response due to PAF, thereby suggesting that community air pollution may be a precipitant of these events.

T1 - Estrogen-Like Properties of Fluorotelomer Alcohols as Revealed by MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation
AN - 21369797; 12085805
AB - We investigated estrogen-like properties of five perfluorinated compounds using a combination of three in vitro assays. By means of an E-screen assay, we detected the proliferation-promoting capacity of the fluorotelomer alcohols 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctan-1-ol (6:2 FTOH) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-decan-1-ol (8:2 FTOH). The more widely environmentally distributed compounds perfluoro-1-octane sulfonate, perfluorooctanoic acid, and perfluorononanoic acid did not seem to possess this hormone-dependent proliferation capacity. We investigated cell cycle dynamics using flow cytometric analyses of the DNA content of the nuclei of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Exposure to both fluorotelomer alcohols stimulated resting MCF-7 cells to reenter the synthesis phase (S-phase) of the cell cycle. After only 24 hr of treatment, we observed significant increases in the percentage of cells in the S-phase. In order to further investigate the resemblance of the newly detected xenoestrogens to the reference compound 17beta-estradiol (E2), gene expression of a number of estrogen-responsive genes was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. With E2, as well as 4-nonylphenol and the fluorotelomer alcohols, we observed up-regulation of trefoil factor 1, progesterone receptor, and PDZK1 and down-regulation of ERBB2 gene expression. We observed small but relevant up-regulation of the estrogen receptor as a consequence of exposures to 6:2 FTOH or 8:2 FTOH. The latter finding suggests an alternative mode of action of the fluorotelomer alcohols compared with that of E2. This study clearly underlines the need for future in vivo testing for specific endocrine-related end points.

T1 - Louisiana's Wetlands: A Lesson in Nature Appreciation
AN - 21364457; 12085824
AB - The Mississippi River is one of the most intensively engineered places in the United States, both to facilitate navigation of the river and to keep it from flooding. As a result, large chunks of the state's marshes and wetlands, which once protected coastal communities from hurricanes, have disappeared in the last century. Several recent reports have focused on the wetland loss and the potential for restoring them, and some limited governmental efforts have already addressed rebuilding Louisiana's wetlands. The losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina have added urgency to finding ways to restore this natural defense system.

Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod) from the Hudson River, New York, are exposed to high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and bioaccumulate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). They have developed resistance to PCBs and PCDDs but not to PAHs. Resistance is largely heritable and manifests at early-life-stage toxic end points and in inducibility of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) mRNA expression. Because CYP1A induction is activated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway, as are most toxic responses to these compounds, we sought to determine the geographic extent of resistance to CYP1A mRNA induction by PCBs in the Hudson River tomcod population. Samples of young-of-the-year tomcod were collected from seven locales in the Hudson River, extending from the Battery at river mile 1 (RM 1) to RM 90, and from the Miramichi River, New Brunswick, Canada. Laboratory-reared offspring of tomcod adults from Newark Bay, in the western portion of the Hudson River estuary, were also used in this study. Fish were partially depurated in clean water and intraperitoneally injected with 10 ppm coplanar PCB-77, 10 ppm benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), or corn oil vehicle, and levels of CYP1A mRNA were determined. CYP1A was significantly inducible by treatment with BaP in tomcod from the Miramichi River, from laboratory-spawned offspring of Newark Bay origin, and from all Hudson River sites spanning 90 miles of river. In contrast, only tomcod from the Miramichi River displayed significantly induced CYP1A mRNA expression when treated with PCB-77. Our results suggest that the population of tomcod from throughout the Hudson River estuary has developed resistance to CYP1A inducibility and probably other toxicities mediated by the AHR pathway. Tomcod from the Hudson River may represent the most geographically expansive population of vertebrates with resistance to chemical pollutants that has been characterized.

T1 - Rapidly Measured Indicators of Recreational Water Quality Are Predictive of Swimming-Associated Gastrointestinal Illness
AN - 21356642; 12085815
AB - Standard methods to measure recreational water quality require at least 24 hr to obtain results, making it impossible to assess the quality of water within a single day. Methods to measure recreational water quality in or=2 hr have been developed. Application of rapid methods could give considerably more accurate and timely assessments of recreational water quality. We conducted a prospective study of beachgoers at two Great Lakes beaches to examine the association between recreational water quality, obtained using rapid methods, and gastrointestinal (GI) illness after swimming. Beachgoers were asked about swimming and other beach activities and 10-12 days later were asked about the occurrence of GI symptoms. We tested water samples for Enterococcus and Bacteroides species using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. We observed significant trends between increased GI illness and Enterococcus at the Lake Michigan beach and a positive trend for Enterococcus at the Lake Erie beach. The association remained significant for Enterococcus when the two beaches were combined. We observed a positive trend for Bacteroides at the Lake Erie beach, but no trend was observed at the Lake Michigan beach. Enterococcus samples collected at 0800 hr were predictive of GI illness that day. The association between Enterococcus and illness strengthened as time spent swimming in the water increased. This is the first study to show that water quality measured by rapid methods can predict swimming-associated health effects.

T1 - The Estrogenic Effect of Bisphenol A Disrupts Pancreatic [beta]-Cell Function In Vivo and Induces Insulin Resistance
AN - 21356607; 12085801
AB - The function of the pancreatic beta-cell is the storage and release of insulin, the main hormone involved in blood glucose homeostasis. The results in this article show that the widespread environmental contaminant bisphenol-A (BPA) imitates 17beta-estradiol (E2) effects in vivo on blood glucose homeostasis through genomic and nongenomic pathways. The exposure of adult mice to a single low dose (10 microg/kg) of either E2 or BPA induces a rapid decrease in glycemia that correlates with a rise of plasma insulin. Longer exposures to E2 and BPA induce an increase in pancreatic beta-cell insulin content in an estrogen-receptor-dependent manner. This effect is visible after 2 days of treatment and starting at doses as low as 10 microg/kg/day. After 4 days of treatment with either E2 or BPA, these mice developed chronic hyperinsulinemia, and their glucose and insulin tolerance tests were altered. These experiments unveil the link between environmental estrogens and insulin resistance. Therefore, either abnormal levels of endogenous estrogens or environmental estrogen exposure enhances the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

T1 - In Katrina's Wake
AN - 21347578; 12085827
AB - When Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast on 29 August 2005, it was the beginning of a grueling lesson in the myriad ways the environment can harm human health. The ravaged communities left in the storm's wake are still assessing the environmental health impacts of the winds, waves, and flooding that occurred. Various teams of researchers are sampling floodwaters, sediments, and other materials to determine the habitability of the area, which was home to hundreds of petroleum and chemical facilities. Agencies are working to ensure that workers and homeowners are protected from the risks they may encounter in the post-hurricane environment. Much remains to be sorted out, such as how best to rebuild the affected area, protect coastal cities from future flooding, and prepare responders for future events.

T1 - Use of the Land Snail Helix aspersa as Sentinel Organism for Monitoring Ecotoxicologic Effects of Urban Pollution: An Integrated Approach
AN - 21347031; 12085821
AB - Atmospheric pollution from vehicular traffic is a matter of growing interest, often leading to temporary restrictions in urban areas. Although guidelines indicate limits for several parameters, the real toxicologic impacts remain largely unexplored in field conditions. In this study our aim was to validate an ecotoxicologic approach to evaluate both bioaccumulation and toxicologic effects caused by airborne pollutants. Specimens of the land snail Helix aspersa were caged in five sites in the urban area of Ancona, Italy. After 4 weeks, trace metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured and these data integrated with the analyses of molecular and biochemical responses. Such biomarkers reflected the induction of detoxification pathways or the onset of cellular toxicity caused by pollutants. Biomarkers that correlated with contaminant accumulation included levels of metallothioneins, activity of biotransformation enzymes (ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase), and peroxisomal proliferation. More general responses were investigated as oxidative stress variations, including efficiency of antioxidant defenses (catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferases, glutathione peroxidases, and total glutathione) and total oxyradical scavenging capacity toward peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals, onset of cellular damages (i.e., lysosomal destabilization), and loss of DNA integrity. Results revealed a marked accumulation of metals and PAHs in digestive tissues of organisms maintained in more traffic-congested sites. The contemporary appearance of several alterations confirmed the cellular reactivity of these chemicals with toxicologic effects of potential concern for human health. The overall results of this exploratory study suggest the utility of H. aspersa as a sentinel organism for biomonitoring the biologic impact of atmospheric pollution in urban areas. Key words: atmospheric pollutants, bioindicators, biomarkers, DNA integrity, lysosomes, metallothioneins, oxidative stress, peroxisomes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, trace metals.

T1 - Inhalation of Ultrafine Particles Alters Blood Leukocyte Expression of Adhesion Molecules in Humans
AN - 21347020; 12085820
AB - Ultrafine particles (UFPs; aerodynamic diameter 100 nm) may contribute to the respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with particulate air pollution. We tested the hypothesis that inhalation of carbon UFPs has vascular effects in healthy and asthmatic subjects, detectable as alterations in blood leukocyte expression of adhesion molecules. Healthy subjects inhaled filtered air and freshly generated elemental carbon particles (count median diameter approximately 25nm, geometric standard deviation approximately 1.6), for 2 hr, in three separate protocols: 10 microg/m3 at rest, 10 and 25 microg/m3 with exercise, and 50 microg/m3 with exercise. In a fourth protocol, subjects with asthma inhaled air and 10 microg/m3 UFPs with exercise. Peripheral venous blood was obtained before and at intervals after exposure, and leukocyte expression of surface markers was quantitated using multiparameter flow cytometry. In healthy subjects, particle exposure with exercise reduced expression of adhesion molecules CD54 and CD18 on monocytes and CD18 and CD49d on granulocytes. There were also concentration-related reductions in blood monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils and increased lymphocyte expression of the activation marker CD25. In subjects with asthma, exposure with exercise to 10 microg/m3 UFPs reduced expression of CD11b on monocytes and eosinophils and CD54 on granulocytes. Particle exposure also reduced the percentage of CD4+ T cells, basophils, and eosinophils. Inhalation of elemental carbon UFPs alters peripheral blood leukocyte distribution and expression of adhesion molecules, in a pattern consistent with increased retention of leukocytes in the pulmonary vascular bed.

T1 - A Case for Revisiting the Safety of Pesticides: A Closer Look at Neurodevelopment
AN - 21346927; 12085817
AB - The quality and quantity of the data about the risk posed to humans by individual pesticides vary considerably. Unlike obvious birth defects, most developmental effects cannot be seen at birth or even later in life. Instead, brain and nervous system disturbances are expressed in terms of how an individual behaves and functions, which can vary considerably from birth through adulthood. In this article I challenge the protective value of current pesticide risk assessment strategies in light of the vast numbers of pesticides on the market and the vast number of possible target tissues and end points that often differ depending upon timing of exposure. Using the insecticide chlorpyrifos as a model, I reinforce the need for a new approach to determine the safety of all pesticide classes. Because of the uncertainty that will continue to exist about the safety of pesticides, it is apparent that a new regulatory approach to protect human health is needed.

T1 - Exposure, Postexposure, and Density-Mediated Effects of Atrazine on Amphibians: Breaking Down Net Effects into Their Parts
AN - 21346922; 12085810
AB - Most toxicology studies focus on effects of contaminants during exposure. This is disconcerting because subsequent survival may be affected. For instance, contaminant-induced mortality can be later ameliorated by reduced competition among the survivors, a concept we refer to as "density-mediated compensation." Alternatively, it can be exacerbated by toxicant effects that persist or appear after exposure, a phenomenon we term "carryover effects." We developed a laboratory framework for testing the contribution of exposure, density-mediated, and carryover effects to net survival, by exposing embryos and larvae of the streamside salamander (Ambystoma barbouri) to atrazine (0, 4, 40, 400 ppb; 3 ppb is the U.S. drinking water maximum) and quantifying survival during and 14 months after exposure. Atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide in the United States and a documented endocrine disruptor. We show that atrazine-induced mortality during exposure was ameliorated by density-dependent survival after exposure, but complete density-mediated compensation was precluded by significant carryover effects of atrazine. Consequently, salamanders exposed to or=4 ppb of atrazine had significantly lower survival than did control animals 14 months postexposure. The greatest change in survival occurred at low exposure concentrations. These nonlinear, long-term, postexposure effects of atrazine have similarities to effects of early development exposure to other endocrine disruptors. Together with evidence of low levels of atrazine impairing amphibian gonadal development, the results here raise concerns about the role of atrazine in amphibian declines and highlight the importance of considering persistent, postexposure effects when evaluating the impact of xenobiotics on environmental health.

T1 - Regionalizing mean annual flow and daily flow variability for basin-scale sediment and nutrient modelling
AN - 20974259; 6987950
AB - River discharges vary strongly through time and space, and quantifying this variability is fundamental to understanding and modelling river processes. The river basin is increasingly being used as the unit for natural resource planning and management; to facilitate this, basin-scale models of material supply and transport are being developed. For many basin-scale planning activities, detailed rainfall-runoff modelling is neither necessary nor tractable, and models that capture spatial patterns of material supply and transport averaged over decades are sufficient. Nevertheless, the data to describe the spatial variability of river discharge across large basins for use in such models are often limited, and hence models to predict river discharge at the basin scale are required. We describe models for predicting mean annual flow and a non- dimensional measure of daily flow variability for every river reach within a drainage network. The models use sparse river gauging data, modelled grid surfaces of mean annual rainfall and mean annual potential evapotranspiration, and a network accumulation algorithm. We demonstrate the parameterization and application of the models using data for the Murrumbidgee basin, in southeast Australia, and describe the use of these predictions in modelling sediment transport through the river network. The regionalizations described contain less uncertainty, and are more sensitive to observed spatial variations in runoff, than regionalizations based on catchment area and rainfall alone.

T1 - Genetic Diversity in Australian Populations of Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae
AN - 20925195; 6787246
AB - Sequence-tagged microsatellite profiling was used to develop 110 microsatellites for Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (causal agent of wheat stem rust). Low microsatellite polymorphism was exhibited among 10 pathogenically diverse P. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates collected from Australian cereal growing regions over a period of at least 70 years, with two polymorphic loci detected, each revealing two alleles. Limited cross-species amplification was observed for the wheat rust pathogens, P. triti-cina (leaf rust) and P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (stripe rust). However, very high transferability was revealed with P. graminis f. sp. avenae (causal agent of oat stem rust) isolates. A genetic diversity study of 47 P. graminis f. sp. avenae isolates collected from an Australia-wide survey in 1999, and a historical group of 16 isolates collected from Australian cereal growing regions from 1971 to 1996, revealed six polymorphic microsatellite loci with a total of 15 alleles. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of several clonal lineages and subpopulations in the pathogen population, and wide dispersal of identical races and genotypes throughout Australian cereal-growing regions. These findings demonstrated the dynamic population structure of this pathogen in Australia and concur with the patterns of diversity observed in pathogenicity studies.

T1 - Isotope fractionation of cadmium in lunar material
AN - 20717745; 6720435
AB - The double spike technique has been used to measure the isotope fractionation and elemental abundance of Cd in nine lunar samples, the Brownfield meteorite and the Columbia River Basalt BCR-1, by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry. Lunar soil samples give a tightly grouped set of positive isotope fractionation values of between + 0.42% and + 0.50% per mass unit. Positive isotope fractionation implies that the heavy isotopes are enhanced with respect to those of the Laboratory Standard. A vesicular mare basalt gave zero isotope fractionation, indicating that the Cd isotopic composition of the Moon is identical to that of the Earth. A sample of orange glass from the Taurus- Littrow region gave a negative isotope fractionation of - 0.23 +/- 0.06% per mass unit, presumably as a result of redeposition of Cd from the Cd-rich vapour cloud associated with volcanism. Cadmium is by far the heaviest element to show isotope fractionation effects in lunar samples. The volatile nature of Cd is of importance in explaining these isotope fractionation results. Although a number of mechanisms have been postulated to be the cause of isotope fractionation of certain elements in lunar soils, we believe that the most likely mechanisms are ion and particle bombardment of the lunar surface.

T1 - Sociality in the Australian Allodapine Bee Brevineura elongata: Small Colony Sizes Despite Large Benefits to Group Living
AN - 20482692; 7948636
AB - Allodapine bees (family Apidae, subfamily Xylocopinae) provide substantial material for investigating the evolution of sociality because of their wide variation in colony size, life history traits, and caste differentiation. Two recent studies have shown that the Australian allodapine genus Brevineura exhibits a strong increase in per capita brood production (PCBP) in social colonies compared to single-female nests. However both species previously examined, B. xanthoclypeata and B. froggatti, show relatively few multi-female nests, which is puzzling considering the apparently large advantages for group-living in these species. Here we show that in a third species, B. elongata, there are also substantial benefits for group living, involving increased PCBP and a greatly reduced likelihood of nests without brood. As expected from these observations, we also found strongly female biased sex allocation. Nevertheless only a small percentage of nests contained more than one adult female, similar to the other two Brevineura species, raising the question of why multifemale colonies are not more common in this genus. Solving this puzzle will throw light on conditions that constrain sociality when group living apparently provides major advantages.

AB - Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) contributes to assessing the environmental impacts of gold mine waste disposal (Lihir Island), natural resources assessment and conservation science through research on, e.g., tuna stocks, seabirds and pelagic ecosystems in the Western Pacific and BLUElink - Ocean Forecasting Australia. BLUElink is a national initiative by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the CSIRO and the Royal Australian Navy, which will deliver a short-range ocean forecasting system for the Asian-Australian region by 2007. BLUElink combines satellite observations (sea-level anomaly and SST) and in-situ ocean observations (temperature and salinity) from Argo floats and other measurement platforms with a global ocean general circulation model (GFDL MOM4). The assimilation system produces an ocean state, which is in close agreement with observations. Output from this eddy-resolving ocean model with a 0.1º horizontal mesh size and 47 vertical levels aids the understanding and prediction of phenomena such as the Indonesian Throughflow, the Coral Sea Gyre, and the East Australian Current. Results from a 13-year (1992-2005) simulation are described in presentation. In addition to the direct application of BLUElink products for operational ocean forecasting, associated products are being used to characterise habitats for pelagic predators (tuna, billfish, seabirds) and refine stock assessment methods for the region. Little is known about the impacts of mine waste disposal, including deep-sea tailings, on tropical marine environments. CSIRO has described the influence of waste disposal from the Lihir gold mine on the shallow reef and deep-water fish communities and is currently investigating the mine's influence on the deep-water bentho-pelagic communities. Deep-water benthos, plankton, nekton, and pelagic communities are investigated to look for any bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the system.

T1 - Uredinales species pathogenic on species of Myrtaceae
AN - 20372822; 7737387
AB - The nomenclature of the species of rust fungi that occur on species of Myrtaceae is reviewed. Three teleomorph and five anamorph species are accepted. One new combination is made in Physopella, a new species of Uredo is described and a new name is proposed in Uredo. To facilitate identification of the known rust fungi occurring on Myrtaceae, keys are provided to the uredinial and telial taxa. The known hosts of the myrtaceous rusts are recorded. Guava rust, Puccinia psidii, is now known to occur on species in both subfamilies of Myrtaceae, including one of two tribes of the subfamily Psiloxyloideae and seven of the 15 tribes of subfamily Myrtoideae, a total of 20 genera and 71 species. Susceptibility to Puccinia psidii seems to be low among species of Myrtaceae from the Americas but more common among taxa from Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

T1 - The role of Diaporthe perjuncta in delayed budburst and death of grapevine buds
AN - 20369732; 7735884
AB - Diaporthe perjuncta has been associated with Phomopsis cane and leaf spot disease of grapevine in Australia. Both D. perjuncta and Phomopsis viticola cause bleaching of cane and, for this reason, diagnosis of the two fungi is often confused in the vineyard. P. viticola causes leaf spots and shoot lesions in the growing season, whereas more recent studies have indicated that D. perjuncta might not be a pathogen. Field studies were conducted to assess the role of D. perjuncta in delayed budburst and death of grapevine buds. Over three seasons (1999-2001), vines were assessed at four vineyards in South Australia for percentage of budburst and incidence of D. perjuncta. A D. perjuncta-specific probe, pT1P180, was used to detect D. perjuncta in unburst buds, cane and shoots on spurs having buds that failed to burst. D. perjuncta was detected in both bleached and non-bleached cane. Although there was a significant association between the incidence of D. perjuncta and buds that failed to burst in 1999 only, overall bud burst was normal in all vineyards and bud loss was not a concern. Bunch number and shoot growth was not affected. Mites were considered as a possible factor in damage to unburst buds, but it was more likely that failure of buds to burst was related to physiological or environmental effects. D. perjuncta did not adversely affect grapevine productivity and cannot be regarded as a pathogen of grapevine.

T1 - Attractiveness of a novel omnivore bait, PIGOUT super(A(r)), to feral pigs (Sus scrofa) and assessment of risks of bait uptake by non-target species
AN - 20325619; 7740167
AB - Following a bait-preference pilot study on captive feral pigs, a series of field studies assessed the attractiveness and target-specificity of a prototype manufactured feral pig bait (PIGOUT super(A(r))). Two promising test baits and fresh meat reference baits were biomarked with iophenoxic acid and aerially distributed in 100-km super(2) blocks of land infested with feral pigs in western Queensland to assess field uptake and target-specificity without prefeeding. Uptake was assessed by measuring blood iodine levels in aerially shot feral pigs. In all, 80% of feral pigs sampled in a non-toxic PIGOUT super(A(r))-baited area had significantly elevated blood iodine, compared with 52% of sampled feral pigs in a meat-baited area (although slightly different baiting strategies were employed). No age or sex bias was evident in PIGOUT super(A(r))-consuming feral pigs. No monitored manufactured baits were consumed by non-target species in 500 bait-nights. Attractiveness and target- specificity trials of ground-laid, unfenced PIGOUT super(A(r)) baits compared with reference baits were subsequently undertaken in several regions of eastern Australia. Results showed that PIGOUT super(A(r)) was consumed readily by feral pigs at all sites, and that it offered significant improvement in target specificity when compared with unfenced wheat or meat baits. However, the baits were consumed by small numbers of macropods, birds and possums. Available evidence indicates that the target-specificity of PIGOUT super(A(r)) bait is highest in the rangelands, reducing slightly in temperate areas and subalpine forests, where abundance of small animals is higher.

T1 - Efficacy of manufactured PIGOUT super(A(r)) baits for localised control of feral pigs in the semi-arid Queensland rangelands
AN - 20324021; 7740135
AB - Conservative population declines of 73% were recorded in three independent feral pig populations in Welford National Park, Queensland, when PIGOUT super(A(r)) baits containing 72 mg of sodium fluoroacetate were used in a baiting program following prefeeding. Declines were measured using a prebaiting population census with remote cameras, followed by carcass recovery. The knockdown of susceptible feral pigs may have been higher than this, since any carcasses not recovered reduced the recorded efficacy. In addition, feral pigs know to have left the baiting area after trapping and telemetry-tagging, and subsequently not exposed to toxic baits, were included in the analysis. The use of remote cameras and carcass recovery appears to be a relatively accurate means of recording localised declines in feral pig populations. This method is applicable only when carcass recovery is possible, such as in open areas in the semi-arid rangelands. A decline of 86% of radio-tagged feral pigs attending bait stations was also recorded. Camera observations revealed no non-target consumption of baits. Measurement of sodium fluoroacetate-contaminated tissues from feral pigs showed that residues were too low to present a significant risk to recorded scavenging animals in the area. Some feral pigs vomited before death, with vomitus containing sodium fluoroacetate poison at high concentrations. No vomitus was consumed by non-target species. Almost all feral pigs were killed relatively rapidly after ingestion of sodium fluoroacetate and the signs observed in a small number of poisoned feral pigs did not indicate a significant welfare concern.

T1 - Short- and long-term demographic changes in house mouse populations after control in dryland farming systems in Australia
AN - 20321504; 7740147
AB - In Australia, outbreaks of house mice (Mus domesticus) cause significant damage to agricultural crops. Rodenticides are used to reduce damage to crops, but the demographic consequences of applying rodenticides are poorly understood. Furthermore, it is not known whether the reduction induced by rodenticides would be similar to that of a natural crash in abundance at the end of mouse outbreaks. I compared the demographic responses of populations of mice to broad-scale field application of fast-acting, acute rodenticides (strychnine and zinc phosphide) in three grain-growing regions of Australia on baited and unbaited sites through live-trapping of mouse populations before baiting and up to four months after baiting. The reductions in population density in each region immediately after baiting were 85% decline in population densities across all regions on baited and unbaited sites. The natural crash caused increases and decreases in bodyweights, a reduction in the proportion of juveniles, male bias, poor survival and poor relative body condition. Poor survival was the only demographic parameter that was consistent for baiting and the natural crash. Five of seven demographic responses for mice during the natural crash were similar to those found in the literature for the decline phase of cyclic vole and lemming populations in the Northern Hemisphere. These results raise the question of whether mouse populations should be baited if a natural crash would occur anyway, but the timing of the natural crash is always uncertain and rodenticides are inexpensive.

T1 - Genetic Relationships Among Fremontodendron (Sterculiaceae) Populations of the Central Sierra Nevada Foothills of California
AN - 20319925; 7313307
AB - Fremontias, or flannel bushes (Fremontodendron), are a distinctive element of California's chaparral communities. Fremontodendron decumbens is only known from a few populations in gabbro soil plant communities of the Sierra Nevada foothills in el Dorado County. Although a recovery plan for these communities has been drafted, the long-term management of F. decumbens is complicated by its treatment as a subspecies of the more widespread F. californicum, and by the recent discovery of additional populations of decumbent plants in Yuba and Nevada Counties that are not easily assigned to either F. californicum or F. decumbens. Genetic relationships among 5 populations, including F. californicum, F. decumbens, and the decumbent plants in Yuba County, were ascertained using AFLP markers. Principal coordinates and population structure analyses of the AFLP data showed that F. decumbens is genetically distinguishable from the populations of F. californicum that we sampled. This distinction, coupled with its unique morphology and ecology, support the treatment of F. decumbens as a species and promote its continued conservation as a rare and unique element of plant communities on gabbro soils in the Sierra Nevada. The decumbent Yuba County population shared a number of alleles with F. californicum and F. decumbens and the analyses did not clearly distinguish its taxonomic relationships. It is possible that this population represents an historical hybrid between F. californicum and F. decumbens. A resolution of the taxonomic position of the decumbent Yuba County populations will require more thorough sampling of F. californicum but the presence of unique alleles in this population suggests that it also should be conserved.

T1 - Myxomycetes on the bark of Banksia attenuata and B. menziesii (Proteaceae)
AN - 20299185; 7480854
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 - Significance of post-germination buoyancy in Helmholtzia glaberrima and Philydrum lanuginosum (Philydraceae)
AN - 20295542; 7480846
AB - Post-germination buoyancy has been proposed to reduce seedling establishment in amphibious plants if seeds germinate under flooded conditions. We tested this hypothesis in two amphibious species, Helmholtzia glaberrima (Hook.) and Philydrum lanuginosum (Banks & Sol.). We tested whether seed germination was affected by different levels of inundation, whether seedlings germinating underwater floated and whether seedlings established after prolonged floatation at rates comparable to seedling establishment in waterlogged soil. Germination underwater and in waterlogged soil was similar for both species. Seeds germinating underwater exhibited post-germination buoyancy and established at similar rates to seedlings in waterlogged soil. The results demonstrated that if seeds germinated underwater, post-germination buoyancy conferred the potential to avoid inundation and promote establishment, when waters recede and/or in areas of high soil moisture that are not submerged. More generally, this finding showed that post-germination buoyancy can promote seedling dispersal and the deposition of seedlings in conditions more favourable for establishment if seeds germinate under flooded conditions or in permanent wetlands.

T1 - Genetic variation in frost resistance of Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus assessed by artificial freezing in winter
AN - 20294511; 7488069
AB - A study of genetic variation in freezing tolerance of Eucalyptus globulus was conducted in winter by subjecting leaf discs from nursery-grown seedlings to artificial freezing at temperatures ranging from -5.5 to -10.0 degree C. A total of similar to 6200 seedlings from 477 open-pollinated families from the full natural range were assessed in three separate experiments. Patterns of frost tolerance with race were not clear and consistent in all three experiments, although inland south-eastern Tasmanian and West Coast Tasmanian races were usually the more frost tolerant (T sub(50) = -8.8 degree C, cf. overall mean of -8.3 degree C). Poor correlations between experiments also made clear identification of superior localities difficult. Winter-frost tolerance was a trait with considerable variation and also under strong additive genetic control. Estimated heritabilities of the relative electrical conductivity following a set freezing temperature and the calculated trait T sub(50) were in the range of 0.27-0.71, with small standard errors. Predicted breeding values in all experiments indicated that the best families were tolerant of similar to 1.4 degree C colder temperatures than average. Seedlings appeared equally capable of rapid dehardening, when average T sub(50) cold hardiness changed from -10.5 to -5.7 degree C during a 10-day period, or similar to 3-4 degree C per week. The issue of more thoroughly assessing the genetic basis of frost tolerance in E. globulus through field-testing is discussed.

T1 - The acute effects of different sources of dietary calcium on postprandial energy metabolism
AN - 20253039; 8817380
AB - Dairy Ca intake has been shown to be superior to elemental Ca in increasing the loss of body fat during energy restriction. We questioned whether the mechanisms involved an increase in postprandial energy expenditure, fat oxidation and/or a greater lipolysis. The acute effects of different sources of Ca were examined in eight subjects, aged 47-66 years and BMI 27.6-36.1kg/m2, in a three-way cross-over study. Subjects were randomly provided breakfast meals either low in dairy Ca and vitamin D (LD; control), high in non-dairy Ca (calcium citrate) but low in vitamin D (HC) or high in dairy Ca and vitamin D (HD). Diet-induced thermogenesis, fat oxidation rates (FOR), carbohydrate oxidation rates (COR), insulin, glucose, Delta NEFA and glycerol were measured hourly over a 6h postprandial period. Postprandial data were calculated as a change ( Delta ) from the fasting value. Results showed that Delta NEFA was significantly different between meals (LD -1.50 (sem 0.26), HC -1.22 (sem 0.32), HD -0.94 (sem 0.27) mmol/l6h; P=0.035), with a lesser suppression following both high-Ca meals. Delta FOR was significantly higher following the two high-Ca meals (LD -6.5 (sem 2.2), HC 2.93 (sem 2.34), HD 3.3 (sem 2.5) g6; h; P=0.005), while reciprocally Delta COR was significantly lower. Delta Glycerol was less suppressed following the high-Ca meals but statistical significance was not achieved. No differences in diet-induced thermogenesis, insulin or glucose were observed. Regardless of source, Ca intake acutely stimulated postprandial fat oxidation; and there was a lesser suppression of NEFA following these meals.

T1 - Development of canine herpesvirus based antifertility vaccines for foxes using bacterial artificial chromosomes
AN - 20246874; 6703944
AB - Using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) technology, a canine herpesvirus (CHV)-based recombinant vaccine vector was produced for the development of an antifertility vaccine for foxes. Infectious viruses were recovered following transfection of canid cells with a BAC plasmid carrying the complete CHV genome. In vitro growth characteristics of BAC-derived viruses were similar to that of wildtype (wt)-CHV. Two recombinant antigens, fox zona pellucida protein subunit 3 (fZPC) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as control antigen, were inserted into thymidine kinase (TK) locus of the CHV genome and shown to be efficiently expressed in vitro. Inoculation of foxes with transgenic CHVs induced CHV specific antibodies, but was innocuous and failed to elicit transgene-specific antibody responses. Infectious virus or viral DNA was not detected in mucosal secretions or tissues of vaccinated foxes. The CHV-BAC system proved to be a quick and reliable method to manipulate the CHV genome. It will help to readily apply changes in the vector design in order to improve virus replication in vivo.

T1 - In Vitro and In Vivo Release of Naltrexone from Biodegradable Depot Systems
AN - 20230716; 7351696
AB - The aim of this study was to prepare poly(d, l-lactide) (PLA) microspheres containing naltrexone (NTX) by a solvent evaporation method, and to evaluate both in vitro and in vivo release characteristics and histopathological findings of tissue surrounding an implant formulation in rats. This method enabled the preparation of microspheres of regular shape and relatively narrow particle size distribution. The in vitro release profiles of NTX from PLA microspheres showed the release of NTX did not follow zero-order kinetics. An initial burst release was observed, subsequently followed by a nearly constant rate of 0.4% per day after ten days. The cumulative amount of NTX released at the end of 60 days was 80%. Compressed microspheres showed near zero-order sustained release of NTX for 360 days. The plasma NTX levels in rats showed that for compressed microspheres NTX concentrations were constant and exceeded 2 ng/mL for 28 days. Throughout the 28 days of study, the implantations cause a minor inflammatory response, which can be regarded as a normal defence mechanism. The sustained release performance of NTX from the biodegradable depot systems may provide a reliable, convenient, and safe mechanism for the administration of NTX for the long-term treatment of opioid dependence.

T1 - Improved prediction of bacterial transcription start sites
AN - 20229353; 6666396
AB - MOTIVATION: Identifying bacterial promoters is an important step towards understanding gene regulation. In this paper, we address the problem of predicting the location of promoters and their transcription start sites (TSSs) in Escherichia coli. The accepted method for this problem is to use position weight matrices (PWMs), which define conserved motifs at the sigma-factor binding site. However this method is known to result in large numbers of false positive predictions. RESULTS: Our approaches to TSS prediction are based upon an ensemble of support vector machines (SVMs) employing a variant of the mismatch string kernel. This classifier is subsequently combined with a PWM and a model based on distribution of distances from TSS to gene start. We investigate the effect of different scoring techniques and quantify performance using area under a detection-error tradeoff curve. When tested on a biologically realistic task, our method provides performance comparable with or superior to the best reported for this task. False positives are significantly reduced, an improvement of great significance to biologists.

T1 - A hierarchical framework to aid biodiversity assessment for coastal zone management and marine protected area selection
AN - 20158555; 6839508
AB - The need to rapidly and accurately identify areas for protection and conservation in the marine environment has been highlighted as of critical importance. Managers require timely and cost-effective techniques to obtain biodiversity information at appropriate scales and resolutions aligned with management objectives and stakeholders requirements. In this paper, a two-stage, multi-level data collection framework is presented that will aid managers to focus on what marine biodiversity collection techniques will meet their individual jurisdictional needs. The framework begins with an integrated planning process (objective setting, stakeholder identification, and sensitivity and gap analyses), that leads to a hierarchical approach for selecting biodiversity assessment techniques that will gather required marine biodiversity data. Complexity of scale and resolution increases as one progress's through the hierarchical levels of Stage II. The utility of using a hierarchical framework is that it surmounts the problem that no single technique can quantify all biological attributes necessary for management outcomes. Also, the user enters the framework at a hierarchical level that meets their requirements thus removing the collection of redundant data. Ultimately, the rapid assessment framework is based on the efficient and sufficient assessment of marine biodiversity.

T1 - Salerno's Model of DNA Re-Analysed: Could Breather Solitons have Biological Significance?
AN - 20099958; 7945802
AB - We investigate the sequence-dependent behaviour of localised excitations in a toy, nonlinear model of DNA base-pair opening originally proposed by Salerno. Specifically we ask whether 'breather' solitons could play a role in the facilitated location of promoters by RNA polymerase (RNAP). In an effective potential formalism, we find excellent correlation between potential minima and Escherichia coli promoter recognition sites in the T7 bacteriophage genome. Evidence for a similar relationship between phage promoters and downstream coding regions is found and alternative reasons for links between AT richness and transcriptionally-significant sites are discussed. Consideration of the soliton energy of translocation provides a novel dynamical picture of sliding: steep potential gradients correspond to deterministic motion, while 'flat' regions, corresponding to homogeneous AT or GC content, are governed by random, thermal motion. Finally we demonstrate an interesting equivalence between planar, breather solitons and the helical motion of a sliding protein 'particle' about a bent DNA axis.

T1 - Bovine tuberculosis in brushtail possums: models, dogma and data
AN - 20009139; 7085252
AB - Three different models of bovine tuberculosis (Tb) in brushtail possums were evaluated against their stated purpose, and testable assumptions and predictions evaluated against available data where possible. Not surprisingly, two of the models may be falsified based on currently available data with respect to either important model assumptions or predictions, and the third may suffer from being right for the wrong reason. This does not mean that these models are not useful. To the contrary, I argue that all models, especially those published in the scientific literature have largely addressed their stated purpose, and have contributed to our understanding of and ability to manage bovine tuberculosis infection in brushtail possum populations. No model, however, satisfactorily explains the pronounced spatial clustering of possum Tb, and the models critiqued have provided little strong inference as to the routes of transmission of Tb among possums. This situation is not helped by the scarcity of datasets on Tb in uncontrolled possum populations that are readily available to confront competing possum/Tb models with. As time passes, there is a very real risk that these data sets will be lost. This is of particular concern, as the expansion in the area of New Zealand under active possum management means the future opportunity to collect further data on Tb in uncontrolled possum populations is severely limited.

T1 - Enhanced bioavailability of a new thiazolidine derivative FPFS-410, an antidiabetic and lipid-lowering drug, after oral administration of its hydroxypropyl-[beta]-cyclodextrin complex to bile duct-cannulated rats
AN - 19971967; 6931538
AB - The effect of bile acids on bioavailability of FPFS-410 (2-(N- Cyanoimino)-5-{(E)-4-styrylbenzylidene}-4-oxothiazolidine) after oral administration of the drug and its 2-hydroxypropyl-[beta]-cyclodextrin (HP- [beta]-CyD) complex was investigated. The complexation with HP-[beta]-CyD increased the oral bioavailability of FPFS-410 in normal rats in a HP-[beta]-CyD concentration-dependent manner, compared with that of drug alone. In bile duct- cannulated rats, bile acid concentrations in pylic serum and biliary were decreased to 18% and 14% of sham-operated rats, respectively. After oral administration of the HP-[beta]-CyD complex, the plasma levels of FPFS-410 were lower in bile duct-cannulated rats than in sham-operated rats up to 1 h, however, this order reversed from 2 to 12 h. The plasma levels of M1, a dominant metabolite of FPFS-410 in rats, significantly decreased until 2 h after administration of the complex in bile duct-cannulated rats, compared with in sham-operated rats. Bioconversion of FPFS-410 to M1 and CYP3A2 expression in the liver was markedly lowered by bile duct-cannulation. Bile duct-cannulation did not, however, affect the serum levels of estradiol. These results suggest that bile acids have a pivotal role for bioavailability of FPFS-410 after oral administration of the FPFS-410 complex with HP-[beta]-CyD through CYP3A2 activity in liver of rats.

T1 - Modelled effects of ambient UV radiation on a natural Antarctic marine microbial community
AN - 19965926; 6681603
AB - Ozone depletion over Antarctica has enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR, 280 to 320 nm wavelength). We measured the effect of ambient solar UV radiation on the biomass and species composition of phytoplankton, protozoa, bacteria and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in natural microbial assemblages from Antarctic coastal waters. Results were modelled to determine the features of the irradiance responsible for changes in the biomass of these microbial components and responses of individual phytoplankton taxa. Model results showed that changes in phytoplankton biomass were primarily due to dose rate, indicating that their UV-induced mortality resulted from the equilibrium between damage and repair. However, there was considerable variability between individual species in their response to dose and dose rate. Changes in protozoan biomass were mainly due to dose and were likely due to community-level, trophodynamic interactions. UV radiation did not measurably affect bacterial biomass, but resulted in increasing concentrations of DOC. We found a threshold of erythemal irradiance of 28 mW m super(-2), approximating peak noon-time irradiance at 3.6 m depth near the summer solstice in Antarctic coastal waters, below which no change in the community structure was observed, but above which phytoplankton mortality and protozoan biomass increased. Our results indicate that enhanced UVB radiation in Antarctic waters increases phytoplankton mortality and causes changes in the structure, function and composition of the microbial community that are likely to return more photoassimilated carbon to the atmosphere.

T1 - Prospects of a fungus-contamination device for the control of tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes
AN - 19827342; 6784116
AB - The prospects of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. applied in contamination devices (Cds) to control tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead was tested in a field experiment in Lake Victoria from 2 March 1999 to 31 August 2000. One hundred and sixty pyramidal traps mounted with Cds were deployed along the lakeshore and rivers on Mfangano Island. Contamination devices were loaded with 1.5-2.0 g of dry conidia/Cd. On the second island, Nzenze Island, four pyramidal traps fitted with plastic bags were deployed and served as the conventional 'trap and kill' population suppression method. A third island, Ngodhe Island, remained untreated and served as a control. Cds were recharged monthly with fresh conidia; plastic bags were also changed monthly. The apparent changes in population density were monitored weekly using biconical traps set at random on the three islands. To assess the incidence of M. anisopliae in tsetse flies on Mfangano Island, flies captured during monitoring were maintained in the laboratory and their mortality recorded. Fly population was reduced to 82.4 and 95.8% relative to untreated control on Mfangano and Nzenze islands, respectively, during the experimental period. Compared to the fungus-treated island, the number of flies caught in monitoring traps increased considerably in 'trap kill' treatment at 5 months after the treatments were removed. The incidence of M. anisopliae in fly populations was low during the 12 weeks following the initiation of the experiment but increased afterward until termination of the treatment. M. anisopliae could still be recovered from fly populations at 3 months after termination of the treatment, although the incidence was low. The results of this study have shown that application of M. anisopliae in a contamination device can suppress the population of G. fuscipes fuscipes comparable to the 'trap and kill' technology.

T1 - Differential expression of chlamydial signal transduction genes in normal and interferon gamma-induced persistent Chlamydophila pneumoniae infections
AN - 19602481; 8514002
AB - Characteristic features of the persistent chlamydial developmental cycle, associated with chronic infections in both humans and animals, include the generation of non-replicative, morphologically aberrant bodies which are distinct from normal propagating reticulate bodies. Previous studies have correlated these morphological and metabolic changes with differential expression of diverse functional subsets of chlamydial genes. To further investigate these correlations, we compared mRNA expression of predicted chlamydial signal transduction genes between normal Chlamydophila pneumoniae A-03 infections in HEp-2 cells and those treated with gamma interferon (IFN- gamma ) by using real-time RT-PCR. Inspection of the Cp. pneumoniae genome revealed at least 39 candidate signal transduction genes, of which 30 were differentially expressed in Cp. pneumoniae mediated persistence. Functional sub-groups of differentially expressed signal transduction genes include chlamydial GTPases (hflX, ychF, yhbZ and yphC), linked to bacterial cellular processes such as cell cycle control and ribosome assembly and stability. Other up-regulated signal transduction genes sharing similarity to bacterial stress response genes (htrA, surE, lytB and hrcA) were also detected. The transcriptional changes observed for the majority of signal transduction genes appear to be unique for Cp. pneumoniae, as similar changes were not observed in recent whole genomic analysis of C. trachomatis IFN- gamma mediated persistence. These results suggest that chlamydial signal transduction genes play potentially important roles in the establishment and maintenance of Cp. pneumoniae persistence, likely as part of the IFN- gamma response stimulon as described for C. trachomatis, but with considerable differences in the transcriptional profile.

T1 - Toxic cyanobacteria and its toxins in standing waters of Kenya: implications for water resource use
AN - 19499866; 7199510
AB - Phytoplankton studies were carried out in selected Kenyan standing waters between 2001 and 2005. Cyanobacteria with known toxin producing potential were recorded in a number of waters. In the freshwaters studied, the most common toxin producing species were Microcystis and Anabaena while in the alkaline saline lakes, Anabaenopsis was common. Cyanobacteria blooms were recorded in a few lakes. A number of lakes and hot spring algal mats had detectable levels of microcystins and anatoxin-a. Cell bound microcystins (LR equivalents) concentration ranged from 1.6-19800 mu g g super(-1) Dry Weight (DW) while anatoxin-a varied from below the limit of detection to 1260 mu g g super(-1) DW. In alkaline-saline lakes, microcystins and anatoxin-a were also present in stomach contents and liver samples of dead flamingos. Monoculture strains of A. fusiformis from Lakes Sonachi and Bogoria had detectable levels of microcystins while anatoxin-a was present in strains isolated from Lakes Sonachi, Bogoria and Nakuru. The results confirm that cyanotoxins could have played a role in the mortality of flamingos in Lakes Bogoria and Nakuru. Two freshwater sites, Nyanza Gulf (L. Victoria) and Lake Baringo recorded cyanotoxin concentration exceeding WHO's upper limit of 1.0 mu g L super(-1) for drinking water. Trends in toxin algae occurrence are considered in this paper. Additionally, implications of findings on water resource use, measures to be taken to reduce the risk of exposure, and eutrophication control steps to reduce cyanobacteria bloom formation are also considered.

T1 - Enhancement of antitumor effect of doxorubicin by its complexation with gamma -cyclodextrin in pegylated liposomes
AN - 19466530; 7075856
AB - In the present study, we examined tissue distribution and the antitumor effect of doxorubicin (DOX) after intravenous injection of the pegylated liposomes entrapping the DOX complex with gamma -cyclodextrin ( gamma -CyD) (complex-in-liposome) in BALB/c mice bearing colon-26 tumor cells, compared with those of DOX solution, pegylated liposomes entrapping DOX alone (DOX-in-liposome), pegylated liposomes entrapping gamma -CyD (CyD-in-liposome) and the binary system of DOX-in-liposome and CyD-in-liposome. When injected to the mice, complex-in-liposome provided the high DOX levels in plasma and solid tumors, compared with the other preparations. Reflecting the result, complex-in-liposome elicited the retardation of tumor growth and the improvement of survival rate without suppression of increase in the body weight of mice. These results suggest the potential use of pegylated liposomes entrapping the DOX complex with gamma -CyD for a promising carrier for improvement of antitumor effects of DOX.

T1 - Development of a highly responsive needle-type glucose sensor using polyimide for a wearable artificial endocrine pancreas
AN - 19457183; 7076735
AB - To produce a long-life, stable, miniature glucose sensor for a wearable artificial endocrine pancreas (WAEP), we developed a novel microneedle-type glucose sensor using polyimide, designated the PI sensor (outer diameter, 0.3 mm; length, 16 mm), and investigated its characteristics in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro study, we tested the sensor in 0.9% NaCI solution with varying glucose concentrations and observed an excellent linear relationship between the sensor output and glucose concentration (range: 0-500 mg/100 ml). In in vivo experiments, the PI sensor was inserted into the abdominal subcutaneous tissue of beagle dogs (n = 5), and interstitial fluid glucose concentrations were monitored after sensor calibration. Simultaneously, blood glucose concentrations were also monitored continuously with another PI sensor placed intravenously. The correlation and time delay between subcutaneous tissue glucose (Y) and blood glucose concentrations (X: 30-350 mg/100 ml) were Y = 1.03X + 7.98 (r = 0.969) and 6.6 plus or minus 1.2 min, respectively. We applied the new WAEP system/PI sensor and an intravenous insulin infusion algorithm developed previously for glycemic control in diabetic dogs. The use of the WAEP system resulted in excellent glycemic control after an oral glucose challenge of 1.5 g/kg (post-challenge blood glucose levels: 176 plus or minus 18 mg/100 ml at 65 min and 93 plus or minus 23 mg/100 ml at 240 min), without any hypoglycemia. Thus, we confirmed that our new PI sensor has excellent sensor characteristics in vitro and in vivo. The new WAEP using this sensor is potentially suitable for clinical application.

T1 - Spatially controlled electro-stimulated DNA adsorption and desorption for biochip applications
AN - 19449785; 6818981
AB - The manipulation of biomolecules at solid/liquid interfaces is important for the enhanced performance of a number of biomedical devices, including biochips. This study focuses on the spatial control of surface interactions of DNA as well as the electro-stimulated adsorption and desorption of DNA by appropriate surface modification of highly doped p-type silicon. Surface modification by plasma polymerisation of allylamine resulted in a surface that supported DNA adsorption and sustained cell attachment. Subsequent high-density grafting of poly(ethylene oxide) formed a low fouling layer resistant to biomolecule adsorption and cell attachment. Spatially controlled excimer laser ablation of the surface produced patterns of re-exposed plasma polymer with high-resolution. On patterned surfaces, preferential electro-stimulated adsorption of DNA to the allylamine plasma polymer surface and subsequent desorption by the application of a negative bias was observed. Furthermore, the concept presented here was investigated for use in transfection chips. Cell culture experiments with human embryonic kidney cells, using the expression of green fluorescent protein as a reporter, demonstrated efficient and controlled transfection of cells. Electro- stimulated desorption of DNA was shown to yield significantly enhanced solid phase transfection efficiencies to values of up to 30%. The ability to spatially control DNA adsorption combined with the ability to control the binding and release of DNA by application of a controlled voltage enables an advanced level of control over DNA bioactivity on solid substrates and lends itself to biochip applications.

T1 - Processes driving the episodic flux of faecal indicator organisms in streams impacting on recreational and shellfish harvesting waters
AN - 19448348; 6904075
AB - Understanding the process controls on episodic fluxes of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) is becoming increasingly important for the sustainable management and accurate modelling of water quality in both recreational and shellfish harvesting waters. Both environments exhibit transitory non-compliance with microbiological standards after rainfall episodes despite significant expenditures on control of sewage derived pollutant loadings in recent years. This paper demonstrates the role of wave propagation in the entrainment of FIOs from river channel beds as a contributor to episodes of poor microbial water quality. Previously reported data is reviewed in the light of relationships between wave and mean water travel velocities. High flows and rapid changes in river flow, driven by releases of bacterially pure reservoir water, resulted in elevated FIO concentrations and transient peaks in concentration. The new interpretation of these data suggest three modes of entrainment: (i) immediate wave-front disturbance, (ii) wave propagation lift and post-wave transport at mean flow velocity, and (iii) stochastic erosional mechanisms that maintain elevated bacterial concentrations under steady high flow conditions. This is a significant advance on the previously proposed mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms provides an aid to managing streams intended for recreational use and emphasises the need to control the timing of high flow generation prior to use of the water body for e.g. canoeing events. In addition the processes highlighted have relevance for the protection of shellfish nurseries, drinking water supply intakes and episodes of poor bathing water quality, and associated health risks.

T1 - The potential impact of climate change on Australia's soil organic carbon resources
AN - 19445390; 7198527
AB - Background: Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents a significant pool of carbon within the biosphere. Climatic shifts in temperature and precipitation have a major influence on the decomposition and amount of SOC stored within an ecosystem and that released into the atmosphere. We have linked net primary production (NPP) algorithms, which include the impact of enhanced atmospheric CO sub(2 )on plant growth, to the SOCRATES terrestrial carbon model to estimate changes in SOC for the Australia continent between the years 1990 and 2100 in response to climate changes generated by the CSIRO Mark 2 Global Circulation Model (GCM). Results We estimate organic carbon storage in the topsoil (0-10 cm) of the Australian continent in 1990 to be 8.1 Gt. This equates to 19 and 34 Gt in the top 30 and 100 cm of soil, respectively. By the year 2100, under a low emissions scenario, topsoil organic carbon stores of the continent will have increased by 0.6% (49 Mt C). Under a high emissions scenario, the Australian continent becomes a source of CO sub(2 )with a net reduction of 6.4% (518 Mt) in topsoil carbon, when compared to no climate change. This is partially offset by the predicted increase in NPP of 20.3% Conclusion Climate change impacts must be studied holistically, requiring integration of climate, plant, ecosystem and soil sciences. The SOCRATES terrestrial carbon cycling model provides realistic estimates of changes in SOC storage in response to climate change over the next century, and confirms the need for greater consideration of soils in assessing the full impact of climate change and the development of quantifiable mitigation strategies.

T1 - Radiation processed hydrogel of poly (vinyl alcohol) with biodegradable polysaccharides
AN - 19431371; 6819695
AB - Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) can be modified to polymer hydrogels by radiation crosslinking and can be used in different biomedical applications. A study was done on the optimization of ingredients concentration for preparing good quality PVA hydrogels with natural polysaccharides. The synthesized hydrogels were also characterized by measuring the different physical properties e.g. gel fraction, swelling and absorption rate. Besides these, sterility test were also performed. Good quality hydrogels were obtained from PVA and natural polysaccharides solutions with 27 kGy radiation dose. There is an influence of natural polysaccharides on the gel fraction of hydrogel. The increase in the amount of polysaccharide causes a decrease in gel fraction that is decrease in the crosslinking density of PVA hydrogel network. The prepared hydrogels were found to be sterile.

T1 - Sphagnum moss: an indicator of climate change in the sub-Antarctic
AN - 19404751; 8710659
AB - Sphagnum moss has been used globally as an indicator of climate change. Since continuous meteorological recording started in the late 1940s, there has been a marked change in the climates of Southern Ocean islands. The distribution of Sphagnum on Macquarie Island appeared to be expanding through the 1980s. All patches of Sphagnum were mapped in the 1992-93 austral summer, with 112 Sphagnum moss patches ([Lt]3 m2) and 12 larger ( greater than or equal to 3 m2) patches recorded. The vast majority of sites recorded were lowland coastal, with a few sites around plateau lakes. The area of moss beds ranges from 0.03 m2 to 32.4 m2. A total of 23 sites were pegged and tagged by 1996, but only 14 of these sites still had Sphagnum moss present by 2004. It is considered that the climatic conditions (higher than average temperatures and wind speeds and lower than average humidity and precipitation) that occurred between April 1999 and May 2000 would have resulted in a period of desiccation that accounts for the destruction of the smaller and-or shallower Sphagnum beds on the island. It is highly likely that both the spatial distribution and size of Sphagnum moss beds on Macquarie Island will continue to decline with predicted changes in sub-Antarctic climate.

T1 - Comparing the characteristics of front and back domestic gardens in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
AN - 19373825; 7139241
AB - In Australia, suburban front gardens have been said to be for show, while back gardens have been thought to be used more productively. This pattern may have changed as a result of a change in the ways that western suburbanites use and value their gardens. In 107 gardens in 10 suburbs of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, data on the floristic composition, structural characteristics and some use attributes were collected from front and back yards. The floristic data were used to classify the yards into types, many of which preferentially occurred in either front or back. Back yards preferentially containing food plant taxa, and had a larger proportion of lawn, dogs and chicken coops, while front yards preferentially contained showy and screening plant taxa, and had relatively high small shrub cover. However, in a large proportion of properties, the garden type in the front yard was the same as the type in the back yard. In another large proportion of properties the front yard was gardened more intensively than the back, indicating a desire to impress, but the back yard was not used for productive purposes. These gardens preferentially occurred in the older suburbs, while gardens that were showier in the back than the front were negatively correlated with the unemployment rate. In a relatively small proportion of properties showy gardens were located in the front yard, while productive gardens were located in the back yard. The prevalence of these gardens had no relationships with suburb characteristics. The wide variety of garden types, and of their combinations in back and front yards, both within and between suburbs, indicate a complexity not reducible to simple aphorisms.

T1 - Can volunteer companions prevent falls among inpatients? A feasibility study using a pre-post comparative design
AN - 19337128; 7078010
AB - Falls in hospital are frequent and their consequences place an increased burden on health services. We evaluated a falls prevention strategy consisting of the introduction of volunteers to 'sit' with patients identified as being at high risk of falling. Two four bed 'safety bays' located on medical wards in two hospitals within southern Adelaide were used. Ward fall rates (expressed as falls per 1000 occupied bed days) were compared in the baseline period (February-May 2002) with the implementation period (February - May 2003) using incident rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The number of hours of volunteered time was also collected. No patient falls occurred on either site when volunteers were present. However, there was no significant impact on overall ward fall rates. In the baseline period, there were 70 falls in 4828 OBDs (14.5 falls per 1000 OBDs). During the implementation period, there were 82 falls in 5300 OBDs (15.5 falls per 1000 OBD). The IRR for falls in the implementation versus baseline period was 1.07 (95%CI 0.77 - 1.49; P = 0.346). Volunteers carried out care activities (e.g. cutting up food), provided company, and on occasions advocated on behalf of the patients. Volunteers donated 2345 hours, at an estimated value to the hospitals of almost $57,000. Volunteers may play an important and cost-effective role in enhancing health care and can prevent falls in older hospital patients when they are present. Full implementation of this program would require the recruitment of adequate numbers of volunteers willing to sit with all patients considered at risk of falling in hospital. The challenge for future work in this area remains the sustainability of falls prevention strategies.

T1 - Modelling the role of intracolonial genetic diversity on regulation of brood temperature in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies
AN - 19327818; 7075962
AB - In polyandrous social insects such as honey bees, a worker's affinity for a particular task may be genetically influenced and so some patrilines may have lower stimulus thresholds for commencing a task than others. We used simulation models to investigate the effects of intracolonial diversity in the task thresholds that stimulate workers to engage in heating and cooling during nest thermoregulation. First, we simulated colonies comprised of one or 15 patrilines that were engaged in heating the brood nest, and observed that single patriline colonies maintained, on average, less stable brood nest temperatures than multiple patriline colonies. Second we simulated colonies with five patrilines that were engaged in cooling their nest, recording the proportions of bees of different patrilines that engaged in nest cooling in response to changing temperatures. Both of our simulations show remarkably similar qualitative patterns to those that we have previously observed empirically. This provides further support for the hypothesis that genetically-based variability in task thresholds among patrilines within honey bee colonies is an important contributor to the ability of colonies to precisely thermoregulate their nests, and we suggest that diversity is important for optimal expression of a range of other colony-level phenotypes.

T1 - Complete Degradation of the Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Phthalic Acid by Flavobacterium sp.
AN - 19293989; 7437090
AB - The complete microbial degradation of Phthalic Acid (PA) is described. PA was thought to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical. A pure culture (strain No. A-1) from soil sample capable of utilizing PA as the sole source of carbon and energy was identified as Flavobacterium sp. Degradation patterns of PA 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 6.1 g of protein per mole of carbon source of PA, and was similar to that in the case of glucose as a carbon source. Complete degradation of PA has been achieved (1660 mg/l) in less than 2 days using Flavobacterium sp. strain No. A-1. The transient intermediates of PA were not detectable on the high-performance liquid chromatogram of the culture filtrates of this strain. This strain could not degrade dimethyl, diethyl phthalate ester and phthalic anhydride.

T1 - Sustainable water management practices: lessons from ancient Sri Lanka
AN - 19276184; 7017997
AB - Many developing countries struggle with the most appropriate way by which to ensure that sufficient resources are available, in a sustainable manner, for the provision of water services. This problem is not new. Rather, it is one which most societies have faced in the past, some with considerable success. This paper considers the case of the hydraulic civilisation of ancient Sri Lanka, not from the perspective of its engineering feats, which are well-known, but from the management aspects of its irrigation system. It details how the ancient Sri Lankans devised a two-tier system which, although it had engineering and economic inefficiencies in its physical structure, was perfectly suited to the level of social capital available at the time. Given that social capital is precisely what limits many developing countries, this suggests that ancient Sri Lanka may provide lessons for water resource management which may have application in developing countries today.

T1 - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus genotyping using a small set of polymorphisms
AN - 17477677; 6669091
AB - The aim of this study was to identify a set of genetic polymorphisms that efficiently divides methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains into groups consistent with the population structure. The rationale was that such polymorphisms could underpin rapid real-time PCR or low-density array-based methods for monitoring MRSA dissemination in a cost-effective manner. Previously, the authors devised a computerized method for identifying sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with high resolving power that are defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) databases, and also developed a real-time PCR method for interrogating a seven-member SNP set for genotyping S. aureus. Here, it is shown that these seven SNPs efficiently resolve the major MRSA lineages and define 27 genotypes. The SNP-based genotypes are consistent with the MRSA population structure as defined by eBURST analysis. The capacity of binary markers to improve resolution was tested using 107 diverse MRSA isolates of Australian origin that encompass nine SNP-based genotypes. The addition of the virulence-associated genes cna, pvl and bbp/sdrE, and the integrated plasmids pT181, pI258 and pUB110, resolved the nine SNP-based genotypes into 21 combinatorial genotypes. Subtyping of the SCCmec locus revealed new SCCmec types and increased the number of combinatorial genotypes to 24. It was concluded that these polymorphisms provide a facile means of assigning MRSA isolates into well-recognized lineages.

T1 - Shoreline response to submerged structures: A review
AN - 17444808; 6638732
AB - Submerged coastal structures are widely perceived to be capable of providing beach protection, without the adverse impacts (including loss of beach amenity and aesthetic considerations) often associated with more conventional structures such as revetments and groynes. In addition, there is growing interest in the concept that the layout and cross-section of submerged coastal protection structures can be optimised to also enhance local surfing conditions. However, as submerged structures have only rarely been adopted for beach protection, the shoreline response to these structures is not well understood at present. Therefore, this review of the available published literature was undertaken with the aim of investigating the environmental and structural parameters governing shoreline response to submerged structures, gleaned from the results of field, laboratory and numerical studies undertaken to date. The review reveals that, contrary to expectations, a majority of the submerged structures constructed to date have resulted in shoreline erosion in their lee. Furthermore, the key environmental and structural parameters governing the mode (i.e. erosion or accretion) and the magnitude (i.e. size of salient) of shoreline response to submerged structures are yet to be identified. Although submerged coastal structures offer the potential for low aesthetic impact incorporating multi-function design, until the response of the adjacent shoreline to submerged structures is better resolved, their use is likely to remain relatively limited.

T1 - Phosphorus availability and elevated CO sub(2) affect biological nitrogen fixation and nutrient fluxes in a clover-dominated sward
AN - 17442259; 6563506
AB - The response of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) to elevated CO sub(2) was examined in white clover (Trifolium repens)-dominated swards under both high and low phosphorus availability. Mixed swards of clover and buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) were grown for 15 months in 0.2 m super(2) sand-filled mesocosms under two CO sub(2) treatments (ambient and twice ambient) and three nutrient treatments [no N, and either low or high P (5 or 134 kg P ha super(-1)); the third nutrient treatment was supplied with high P and N (240 kg N ha super(-1))]. Under ambient CO sub(2), high P increased BNF from 410 to 900 kg ha super(-1). Elevated CO sub(2) further increased BNF to 1180 kg ha super(-1) with high P, but there was no effect of CO sub(2) on BNF with low P. Allocation of N belowground increased by approx. 50% under elevated CO sub(2) irrespective of supplied P. The results suggest that where soil P availability is low, elevated CO sub(2) will not increase BNF, and pasture quality could decrease because of a reduction in aboveground N.

T1 - Population genetic structure of the brown tiger prawn, Penaeus esculentus, in tropical northern Australia
AN - 17232388; 6953002
AB - Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were analysed in six population samples from four locations of the Australian endemic brown tiger prawn, Penaeus esculentus. Tests of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were generally in accord with expectations, with only one locus, in two samples, showing significant deviations. Three samples were taken in different years from the Exmouth Gulf. These showed no significant heterogeneity, and it was concluded that they were from a single panmictic population. A sample from Shark Bay, also on the west coast of Australia, showed barely detectable differentiation from Exmouth Gulf (F sub(ST) = 0 to 0.0014). A northeast sample from the Gulf of Carpentaria showed low (F sub(ST) = 0.008) but significant differentiation from Moreton Bay, on the east coast. However, Exmouth Gulf/Shark Bay samples were well differentiated from the Gulf of Carpentaria/Moreton Bay (F sub(ST) = 0.047-0.063). The data do not fit a simple isolation by distance model. It is postulated that the east-west differentiation largely reflects the isolation of east and west coast populations that occurred at the last glacial maximum when there was a land bridge between north-eastern Australia and New Guinea.

T1 - Learning Design and Service-Oriented Architectures: A Mutual Dependency?
AN - 1720064829; EJ1066465
AB - This paper looks at how the concept of reusability has gained currency in e-learning. Initial attention was focused on reuse of content, but recently attention has focused on reusable software tools and reusable activity structures. The former has led to the proposal of service-oriented architectures, and the latter has seen the development of the Learning Design specification. The authors suggest that there is a mutual dependency between the success of these two approaches, as complex Learning Designs require the ability to call on a range of tools, while remaining technology neutral. The paper describes a project at the UK Open University, SLeD, which sought to develop a Learning Design player that would utilise the service-oriented approach. This acted both as a means of exploring some of the issues implicit within both approaches and also provided a practical tool. The SLeD system was successfully implemented in a different university, Liverpool Hope, demonstrating some of the principles of reuse.

T1 - Conversation as Inquiry: A Conversation with Instructional Designers
AN - 1720062257; EJ1066474
AB - Instructional designers regularly engage in a process of professional and personal transformation that has the potential to transform the culture of institutions through faculty-client relationships. Instructional designers promote new ideas and understandings in social contexts that include other designers and clients, among others. This research program attempts to understand this process, using narrative inquiry and instructional designers' stories of practice to explore two interconnected theoretical frames. One frame is methodological and offers a case for narrative inquiry as an alternative approach to research in educational technology. The second frame is practice-based, and uses narrative inquiry to explore the themes of reflexivity, voice, strong subjectivity and power/authority through the stories of three instructional designers.

T1 - The Upside-Down-World of E-Learning
AN - 1720062239; EJ1066475
AB - New technologies rather than educational principles and philosophies have tended to dictate the shape of development in the world of elearning. Giving educators an active and determining rather than a passive role in the development of learning systems is vital if e-learning is to realise its transformative potential in education in the 21st century. Many of the currently available learning technologies and systems, generally devised by technicians rather than educators, have offered limited room for creative or effective teaching. The limitations of these systems--their time consuming nature and their failure to adapt the technology to take account of educational contexts--need to be understood, acknowledged and overcome. The next generation of learning technologies and systems will only take us forward if educators have a much greater stake in controlling how they are developed. The article identifies some key theoretical and practical issues which should be given priority in newly emerging learning technologies and systems.

T1 - Beyond Instructional Design: Making Learning Design a Reality
AN - 1720062088; EJ1066491
AB - When we reflect on the emergence of online education and e-learning as the leading contender to confront the traditions of face-to-face teaching and learning, it is not only a case of better understanding the characteristics of online environments, but also timely to assess the relevance of theories and frameworks informing the design and implementation of those environments. Over the past twenty five years, the value of technology to education has been a significant focus of teachers, learners and institutional administration; it is also a period that has been characterised by lighthouse success stories, rigorous research, technological determinism and unfulfilled promises. As each new generation of technology appeared in the classroom (microcomputers, colour monitors, hypermedia, multimedia, internet), a new generation of early adopters appeared, each seemingly unaware of the research and knowledge gained by the previous generation. In this paper the argument is proposed that even with the strong foundation of knowledge that informs the appropriate ways to use technology for teaching and learning, too often that knowledge has been misunderstood or misused or ignored. The paper is based on the keynote presentation to the Online Learning and Teaching Conference held in Brisbane on September 23rd, 2005. The theme of the conference, "Beyond Delivery," was extremely timely as it marked the assertion that it was time to put the simple digitisation of materials behind us and focus on the active, engaging learning opportunities that effectively put the learning back into e-learning to take advantage of collaborative tools, learning communities and mediated conversation for new millennial learners. More importantly the statement that we are "beyond delivery" also suggests that it is time to embrace change and reflect on new ways to conceptualise the design of online learning environments. Through this paper an argument is presented for a proactive approach to the conceptualisation, formation and maintenance of online environments that cater specifically for the individual learner. Through an analysis of design strategies, proactive modelling and interactive metrics, a new framework is presented to address the pedagogy of online environments and present an alternative to common instructional design practices. For those committed to online teaching and learning environments populated with collaborating and reflective participants, this framework goes well beyond delivery to a pedagogy centred on emancipation and empowerment for the engaged learner.

AB - The escalating success of personal coaching and the significant potential it holds as a vehicle for effective learning, appear to have had little impact within educational contexts to date. In response, this paper therefore presents an introduction to personal coaching practice and its outcomes and examines its processes through a discussion of learning theory. In doing so, it demonstrates the learning value inherent within the coaching framework and challenges educators to consider its potential as a model for active, collaborative, authentic and engaging learning.

T1 - Lessons Learned from Three Projects to Design Learning Environments That Support "Generic" Skill Development
AN - 1720059989; EJ1066478
AB - Efforts to ensure that graduates leave university with the skills needed for career wide lifelong learning have been the focus of much activity at universities both nationally and internationally for over a decade. In this paper, we describe three projects aimed at developing student skills as part of the discipline content in line with current theory and research. Projects required instructors to reflect on their current practice and, where necessary, to change learning environments from content to process oriented and from teacher to student centred, and to align learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment tasks. We describe each project and, using models of change management and the findings from investigations of teaching and learning innovations in Higher Education, identify the design features that supported or constrained each project's success. Based on the lessons learned from these three projects and those of others reported in the literature, we make recommendations for the design of projects that will have a good chance of success in creating effective learning environments that support skill development.

T1 - An Authentic Learning Design for Farm Tours
AN - 1720059841; EJ1066472
AB - Taking students out into the field to visit properties has been a foundation of agricultural education practice in Australian higher education. These excursions are invariably popular with students, but their enjoyment of these activities may be largely due to factors other than the achievement of learning outcomes. This paper reports on a constructivist learning design used for a farm tour whereby strategies were deliberately planned and employed to challenge students to develop their observational skills in an authentic context. Students needed to utilise their prior learning in the area and engage with each other to devise and present proposals to both academic staff and industry cooperators while on the tour.

T1 - The Master-Less Studio: An Autonomous Education Community
AN - 1720059516; EJ1066469
AB - In recent times, it has become difficult for even the best conservatorium graduates to achieve the traditional goals of concert performance or secure orchestral positions and this has profound effects on the work practices of musicians. There are important implications for teaching in a conservatorium, in terms of providing a learning experience that prepares for the changing circumstances graduates can expect to encounter. The development of abilities to be self-monitoring and self-directing, multiskilled and adaptable should be included along with the traditional goals of a conservatorium education. This paper focuses on one conservatorium of music that has begun to accommodate alternatives to the prevailing one-to-one studio practice, the central learning experience of most programs. The paper describes an alternative learning design process within that conservatorium. It is a pedagogical design that relies on the recording process to enable separation of performance from critique. Interest is in how critical reflection on the process and product of creative work is enhanced through self- and peer-assessment, and the development of these skills as an explicit goal of the design.

T1 - Developing Familiarity with Learning Design Tools through Subject Analysis
AN - 1720059496; EJ1066480
AB - The application of quality processes to tertiary teaching can result in a more team-based approach to course curriculum planning, the instructional design of individual subjects or units, the learning support associated with subject implementation and subsequent evaluation. The "art" of teaching requires more explicit communication within and across different teams that may be involved in each stage. Learning designs provide tools for design teams to map out learning environment attributes such as resources, tasks, people and interactions. Experienced teaching academics, unfamiliar with such tools, require orientation to them to achieve their communication potential. One way to introduce learning design models is to apply them to past subjects as tools for analysis. Do they help identify design imbalance? Do they provide a scaffold for thinking about future subject design? Four simple local design models are explored as potential analysis tools and applied to a subject case study taught prior to the lecturer's awareness of these design models.

T1 - Designing Criterion-Referenced Assessment
AN - 1720059348; EJ1066490
AB - Criterion-referenced assessment arguably results in greater reliability, validity and transparency than norm-referenced assessment. This article examines this assertion with reference to an example from a second year undergraduate law unit at the Queensland University of Technology, LWB236 Real Property A. When designing criterion-referenced assessment sheets for a course, an incremental approach should be taken to reflect that skills are progressively developed throughout the course. The incremental development and assessment of skills has been strongly supported by the literature as opposed to developing and assessing skills in a one-off manner. This article discusses how skills may be developed and assessed across three levels of a degree (or course). It builds on the existing research by recommending a model for taking an incremental approach to implementing criterion-referenced assessment across the three levels of a course. This recommended model is relevant to the designers of criterion-referenced assessment in all disciplines.

T1 - Assessing Group Interactions Online: Students' Perspectives
AN - 1720058837; EJ1066482
AB - The purpose of the following article is to discuss the integration of computer mediated communication into a French writing course and to report on the assessment methodology used in order to gather students' perspectives. The online course component was introduced in the Fall of 2003 in order to enhance students' learning by introducing collaborative writing projects, and as a result, to encourage them to write on a regular basis. The intent of the new pedagogical paradigm was to create a student-centred environment where socio-constructivist and cognitive principles would be infused into the teaching of French writing (L2 setting). A design experiment methodology based on students' perspectives was used to continuously test and refine the online component of the course. This process assessment helped in the development of our final course model and tested the quality of our teaching.

T1 - Design Patterns for Complex Learning
AN - 1720058825; EJ1066485
AB - A complex view of learning recognises that learning cannot be pre-determined by teaching, but is as much defined by circumstances and context as pre-defined learning objectives. Learning designs that accept uncertainty help us to envision classrooms and curricula that are open, dynamic and innovative. Architect Christopher Alexander's patterns and pattern language offer a means for researchers, practitioners, learners, and technologists to capture and share the emergent processes of complex learning. This paper examines the unique properties of patterns that support complex design tasks and suggests a design-based research framework for operationalising its practice. Through the thoughtful explication, mining and construction of patterns, all participants can contribute to a richer learning system.

T1 - Discovering Design Possibilities through a Pedagogy of Multiliteracies
AN - 1720058056; EJ1066468
AB - Research and educational policies have alerted teachers to the importance of multiliteracies. Communication in society today is characterised by rapidly changing and emergent forms of meaning-making in a context of increased cultural and linguistic diversity. This paper responds to these imperatives, releasing key findings of a critical ethnography concerning interactions between pedagogy and access to multiliteracies among culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Data collection involved 18 days of lesson observations over 10 weeks using field and journal notes, continuous audiovisual and audio recording, and the collection of cultural artefacts. Semi-structured interviewing was also conducted with the teacher, principal, and four students. Data analytic tools included low and high inference coding and pragmatic horizon analysis. Findings concerned the use of overt instruction and situated practice in the teacher's enactment of the multiliteracies pedagogy. This had a significant influence on the learners' ability to access claymation movie designing. Comparisons are made between the learning that occurred for students of the dominant, Anglo-Australian, middle-class culture, and for those who were not. The conclusion addresses relevant literature concerning how to apply the multiliteracies pedagogy to enable meaningful designing.

T1 - Retention in Online Courses: Using a Motivational Framework and Online Peers to Enlighten Potential Learners about Learning Online
AN - 1720057938; EJ1066481
AB - Despite the exponential growth in online learning, student retention rates in the online environment remain a concern to educators. Online learning @ UniSA is a learning object aimed at laying foundations for online learning for prospective students. It uses the voices of student peers to explore the qualities needed to succeed. Through the insights of four students and their facilitator, prospective online learners can make an informed choice about whether online study is likely to suit their own situation. Preliminary data supports the authors' hypothesis that the web site has allowed prospective students to select online study with their eyes wide open to what this choice really means.

T1 - Microbial Degradation of Disinfectants: Two New Aromatic Degradation Products of Chlorhexidine, Chlorhexidine Aromatic Degradation Product (CHADP)-4 and CHADP-6, Produced by Pseudomonas sp. Strain No. A-3
AN - 17182883; 6858310
AB - To clarify the degradation pathway of chlorhexidine by a microbe, Pseudomonas sp. Strain No. A-3, the isolation and identification of microbial chlorhexidine degradation products were attempted. Two aromatic degradation products of chlorhexidine, named chlorhexidine aromatic degradation product (CHADP)-4 and CHADP-6, were isolated by column chromatography using Diaion HP-10, and purified by column chromatography using Diaion HP-20SS and Sephadex LH-20. The chemical structures of both compounds were examined by infrared, super(1)H NMR, super(13)C NMR and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra studies. Based on the spectroscopic data, CHADP-4 (molecular weight 335) and CHADP-6 (molecular weight 377) were found to be direct degradation products of chlorhexidine and were thought to be cleavage partners of p-chlorophenylurea (CHADP-S) and p-chloraniline (p-CA), respectively. Antimicrobial activity of CHADP-6 are similar to that of chlorhexidine, but antimicrobial activity of CHADP-4 decreased to 1/5-1/10 that of chlorhexidine.

T1 - A regional database management system-the fisheries resource information system and tools (FiRST): Its design, utility and future directions
AN - 17176119; 6834866
AB - South and Southeast Asian countries have undertaken demersal trawl surveys to measure the fisheries potential of their waters throughout the 20th century. However, ensuring full use of, and easy access to the resulting data is a challenge in developing countries. The "Fisheries Resource Information System and Tools" (FiRST) was developed through a regional collaborative effort across eight South and Southeast Asian counties to meet these needs. FiRST is a data management system for scientific trawl survey data and includes data summary and visualization tools, an analytical routine to estimate biomass, and data import/export modules. The FiRST software has also facilitated the establishment of a regional database, 'TrawlBase', which contains more than 20,000 hauls or stations from scientific trawl surveys in 10 countries conducted between 1926 and 1995. The regional database is an important regional resource for coastal fisheries management complementing national fisheries catch statistics. This article describes the refined version of FiRST (version 2004) and provides examples on how the database ('TrawlBase') has been used to date for analyses aimed at establishing historic resource baselines and examining the status of coastal fishery resources. The results show a severe decline of resource biomass to an average of 22% of pre-exploitation levels, with cases as low -4%. These results clearly demonstrate the strong impact of fishing on coastal resource biomass and diversity.

T1 - Spatial structure of demersal fish assemblages in South and Southeast Asia and implications for fisheries management
AN - 17175408; 6834868
AB - We provide a review of the assemblage structure of demersal fish resources in four South and Southeast Asian countries. Multivariate techniques (classification and ordination analysis) were used to analyze scientific trawl survey data from a collaborative project in the region. Analyses covered major coastal fishing areas in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This represents the first such assessment of fish assemblages for the region using a standard analysis framework. Results indicate that spatial patterns of demersal assemblages are influenced by depth. However, other environmental factors such as salinity and substrate type also appear important. Critical fisheries management implications of the observed assemblage patterns are discussed, particularly in terms of the existing spatial management zones. Existing management zones are based on distance from shore and were found to be largely inconsistent with the assemblage patterns observed. If management is to be effective it must be structured to take into account the underlying pattern of the fish assemblages.

T1 - Key issues in coastal fisheries in South and Southeast Asia, outcomes of a regional initiative
AN - 17171282; 6834865
AB - Asia is an important region in terms of fish trade supplying nearly 60% of global fish production. The region's coastal fisheries play a critical role in ensuring food security and providing livelihoods, particularly for poorer sections of the community. This paper introduces a regional initiative in which eight Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) undertook simultaneous, multi-disciplinary assessments of their coastal fisheries. The outputs of this initiative are presented in the next four papers of this volume of Fisheries Research. The assessments have highlighted two disturbing regional trends: coastal fisheries resources are severely depleted, biological and economic overfishing is occurring throughout the region. These are symptoms of the lack of effective management of fishing capacity in the region. This overview paper highlights the urgent need to reduce fishing capacity in the region. Only through such capacity reduction strategies can fish stocks be rebuilt to more productive and sustainable levels so that potential economic and social benefits from fisheries can be realized. Strategies need to be country- and fishery-specific and should focus on the development of effective access and property-rights regimes. For instance, countries need to explicitly allocate rights between small-scale and industrial fisheries, where resources are shared. This will require an understanding of the overlap between the sectors in terms of resource use and also the relative economic and social benefits from each sector.

T1 - Decline of demersal coastal fisheries resources in three developing Asian countries
AN - 17170439; 6834867
AB - Worldwide, there is serious concern about the state of fisheries; yet for Asia, which accounts for half of the global fisheries production, information on the state of fisheries in order to guide management is sparse. In this paper we review the results of a regional study that examined the state of demersal fisheries resources in the coastal areas of Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In each country time series of scientific trawl survey data (spanning 12-49 years, depending on the area) were used to assess changes in the total biomass of demersal species over time. All countries showed substantial declines in the total biomass. In Malaysia, the declines were greatest in the shallow depths (-50 m) where the biomass declined to 4-20% of the original estimates. In the Gulf of Thailand, by 1995 the total biomass estimates had declined to less than 8% of the 1965 estimates. In the Philippines, changes in the biomass were examined in different bays and fishing areas and the recent estimates of the biomass were 12-64% of the original estimates. These severe declines in the total biomass are thought to be due to over-fishing, compounded by environmental degradation. While over-fishing has been previously documented for selected species or fisheries in these countries, the fishery-independent data analysed here provide the first multi-country evidence of the widespread degradation of demersal coastal resources. Exploitation ratios (fishing mortality:total mortality), calculated from length frequency data, were on average >0.5, suggesting over-fishing. In Thailand a time series of exploitation ratios for 17 species showed increasing fishing pressure over time. Environmental degradation, in terms of changes in water quality and habitat modification and loss, has been documented in all countries and this is likely to be a contributing factor for the declines. The serious declines observed in these three countries are illustrative of a regional trend and highlight the urgent need for countries to reduce and manage their fishing capacity. This regional study also identified a requirement for key interventions, such as strengthening licensing systems, limiting entry to fisheries and increasing gear selectivity. It also highlighted the fact that the strategies developed must take into account the context of the developing countries and the broader socioeconomic role of fisheries.

T1 - Molecular resolution of population history, systematics and historical biogeography of the Australian ringneck parrots Barnardius: are we there yet?
AN - 17160453; 6817655
AB - The Australian Ringneck (Barnardius zonarius) shows clear geographical replacement of populations across its range. These populations have been given taxonomic epithets barnardi, zonarius, semitorquatus and macgillivrayi. We investigated whether historical or non-historical processes explain the origin of their phenotypic differentiation from each other. We used complete ND2 gene sequences from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to test whether there is geographical coincidence of breaks in phenotypic and neutral molecular diversity. Simply, geographical coincidence is expected by historical processes but not by non-historical ones. Phylogenetic analysis identified one clade with most barnardi samples and another with zonarius, semitorquatus and macgillivrayi. The latter included some phenotypically typical barnardi but they were from localities where it approaches zonarius and macgillivrayi. Differentiation between the two clades, and thus of barnardi from all other populations, likely occurred first by a historical process such as vicariance. Later gene flow appears to have eroded the mtDNA monophyly of barnardi. Phenotypic and mtDNA diversity among semitorquatus, zonarius and macgillivrayi are not correlated. Non-historical processes are clearly suggested in the origin of their phenotypic differentiation. Their low nucleotide diversity, however, leaves ambiguity as to whether very recent historical processes could have been involved. Ramifications to issues of Barnardius systematics are discussed. Isolated north-western Queensland populations (macgillivrayi) are not closely related to barnardi. Alternative taxonomic treatments of our findings, recognising no more than three taxa (barnardi, zonarius and macgillivrayi) under different species concepts are cautiously discussed while urging more study.

T1 - The impact of imposed female sterility on field populations of ricefield rats (Rattus argentiventer)
AN - 17145727; 6801085
AB - A decrease in the reproductive rate of a pest population may lead to a decrease in population growth and in the associated damage to agricultural crops. In this study, a single-dose anti-fertility treatment was simulated through surgical and hormonally based sterilisation of female ricefield rats, Rattus argentiventer, in a rice-based agro-ecosystem. Up to 76% of adult females were sterilised on 10 ha plots before the start of the breeding season in two populations for each treatment (surgical or hormonally based sterilisation). There were two untreated populations. None of the treatments led to a decrease in population growth, breeding performance or crop damage nor was there an increase in rice yield. The treatments did not result in numeric or reproductive compensation at the rat population level. It is likely that immigration by fertile female rats outweighed the potential effects of sterilised females at the population level. The findings highlight the importance to test whether anti-fertility treatments on a larger scale than in this study and multiple-dose treatments can effectively reduce the population size of ricefield rats.

T1 - Sociality in a Malagasy allodapine bee, Macrogalea antanosy, and the impacts of the facultative social parasite, Macrogalea maizina
AN - 17137997; 6757372
AB - Social parasitism has been researched extensively in many taxa of social insects, including ants, wasps and bees. However, little research has been done on allodapine bees, a taxon that has numerous independent origins of social parasitism. This study looks at two species of Macrogalea from Madagascar, one of which was previously believed to be a social parasite. Macrogalea is an important genus to study as it is the sister clade to all other allodapine genera, and the species of Macrogalea in Madagascar diverged recently, meaning that the study of a social parasite in this genera would provide insights into the very early stages of social parasite evolution. Macrogalea maizina was determined to be facultatively parasitic based on the presence of many traits that are common to other allodapine social parasites. The host, Macrogalea antanosy, was found to be quasi-social, with most females within a colony being able to reproduce. This has unique consequences for a parasitic strategy, as any invading parasite has no need to remove a queen or suppress the reproduction of the other colony members, a strategy that has been commonly observed for facultative parasites in other taxa.

T1 - A possible mechanism of resistance to cadmium toxicity in male Long-Evans rats
AN - 17107977; 6735665
AB - The susceptibility to cadmium (Cd)-induced toxicity in male Long-Evans (LE) rats was compared with that in male Fischer 344 (Fischer) and Wistar-Imamichi (WI) rats, which are sensitive and resistant, respectively, to Cd toxicity. All rats of the le and WI strains survived for 7 days after the treatment with a toxic dose of Cd (6.5 mg/kg b.w.). However, all rats of the Fischer strain died by the following day. The strong resistance to Cd toxicity in the le strain was confirmed to be independent of metallothionein synthesis induced by Cd. The hepatic and renal Cd contents after its administration were significantly lower in the le strain than in the Fischer strain. Furthermore, the hepatic and renal zinc (Zn) contents after its administration were significantly lower in the le strain than in the Fischer strain. These limited data suggest that the strong resistance to Cd toxicity in male le rats results from, at least in part, the lower accumulation of the metal in the liver and kidney, in a similar mechanism as the lower Zn accumulation.

T1 - Measles virus hemagglutinin protein expressed in transgenic lettuce induces neutralising antibodies in mice following mucosal vaccination
AN - 17102418; 6737827
AB - Plant-made oral vaccines have the potential to overcome many of the limitations of traditional vaccines. Here we report on progress towards a lettuce-made measles vaccine. Lettuce is a palatable species which exhibits rapid growth in contained hydroponic systems and produces negligible quantities of toxins. Measles virus hemagglutinin (MV-H) protein was successfully expressed in transgenic lettuce and found to be immunogenic in mice. Lettuce extracts containing MV-H protein induced MV neutralising antibodies following intraperitoneal injection and intranasal inoculation of mice. Using a sequential prime-boost strategy in which mice were vaccinated with MV-H DNA followed by an orally delivered freeze-dried MV-H lettuce formulation a 10-fold increased in MV-specific IgG titers was observed relative to mice vaccinated with control lettuce formulations (p = 0.05). MV-H protein was stable in freeze-dried lettuce for up to 13 months at room temperature, and survived at least a week at temperatures as high as 50 degree C. This research represents a significant step towards the development of measles vaccine formulation that is effective, temperature-stable, easy to administer in a resource-poor setting and amenable to large scale manufacture.

T1 - DCD and ADHD: A genetic study of their shared aetiology
AN - 17076973; 6706252
AB - Previous studies have found that rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are very similar, both being approximately 7% in sample populations [Kadesjoe, B., & Gillberg, C. (1999). Developmental coordination disorder in Swedish 7-year-old children. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 38, 820- 828; Milberger, S., Faraone, S., Biederman, J., Testa, M., & Tsuang, M. (1996). New phenotype definition of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in relatives for genetic analyses. American Journal of Medical Genetics, 67, 369-377]. The rate of comorbidity between the two has been found to be close to 50% [Barkley, R. (1990). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: A handbook for diagnosis and treatment. New York: Guilford Press]. Investigations into the comorbidity of the disorders points to a shared aetiology between them. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the extent to which the shared aetiology is due to common genetic factors to both disorders. We also investigated whether particular subtypes of each disorder were more linked than others. Mailed questionnaires were completed by parents (predominantly mothers) of 1285 twin pairs aged 5 and 16 years from the volunteer Australian Twin Registry (ATR). Included were a DSM-IV-based ADHD form, the alternative SWAN (Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behaviour scale) and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ). Statistical analyses including structural equation modelling were carried out to explore the genetic factors of both disorders. The modelling showed a strong shared additive genetic component between most subtypes of ADHD and DCD to the subtypes of the other disorder. Analyses comparing the two ADHD measures showed an overlap of the symptoms captured by each measure but also significant differences. The DCD-fine motor and ADHD-Inattentive were most strongly linked using the DSM-IV based scale. On the SWAN scale the results were similar but the general coordination scale was also very strongly linked. Implications for the use of different assessment tools are discussed.

T1 - The relationship between fine and gross motor ability, self-perceptions and self-worth in children and adolescents
AN - 17072810; 6706248
AB - The present study examined the impact of fine and gross motor ability on self-perceptions of male and female children and adolescents. Participants were compared across age group, sex, and level of motor ability. When intercorrelations between self-perceptions were taken into account, the level of movement ability was found to impact upon perceived athletic competence and scholastic competence. When movement was considered in terms of fine and gross motor ability, it was found that those with higher perceived scholastic competence were in the younger group and had better fine motor skills. Furthermore, those with greater perceived athletic competence were also in the younger group, were predominantly male and had better gross motor skills. The types of self-perceptions that influenced self-worth were dependent on the level of motor ability of the participants and varied according to their sex. The implications of these findings are discussed with reference to the necessity to assess specific types of motor deficit when tailoring intervention strategies for children with motor disorders, particularly within the academic setting.

T1 - Serum Cadmium Levels in Pancreatic Cancer Patients from the East Nile Delta Region of Egypt
AN - 14763104; 10692548
AB - The serum cadmium levels as markers of exposure in pancreatic cancer patients and noncancer comparison subjects were assessed. A novel immunoassay procedure was used to measure the serum cadmium levels. A significant difference was found between the mean serum cadmium levels in patients versus comparison subjects. The odds ratio (OR) for pancreatic cancer risk was significant for serum cadmium level and farming. Several molecular mechanisms were identified by which cadmium could influence pancreatic cells. It was found that the pancreatic cancer in the East Nile Delta region is significantly associated with high levels of serum cadmium and farming.

T1 - Mortality Among Workers Exposed to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in an Electrical Capacitor Manufacturing Plant in Indiana: An Update
AN - 14760253; 10692538
AB - The mortality among workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in an electrical capacitor manufacturing plant in Indiana was presented. The analyses, included standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), using rates for Indiana and the United States, standardized rate ratios (SRRs), and Poisson regression rate ratios (RRs). Among those working >90 days, both melanoma and brain cancer were elevated, especially for women. The findings of excess melanoma and brain cancer mortality confirmed the results of the original investigations. The melanoma mortality was not associated with estimated cumulative PCB exposure and brain cancer. The association between mortality and estimated PCB cumulative exposure did not demonstrate a clear dose-response relationship.

T1 - Home Endotoxin Exposure and Wheeze in Infants: Correction for Bias Due to Exposure Measurement Error
AN - 14760231; 10692549
AB - The relationship between exposure to endotoxin and wheeze in the first year of life, accounting for the measurement error associated with using house-dust endotoxin measurements as surrogates for true exposure was examined. A measurement error correction technique was applied, using all available data to estimate the effect of endotoxin exposure in terms of airborne concentration. It was observed that inhalation was the relevant route of exposure. It was found that the endotoxin exposure was significantly associated with a nearly 6-fold increase in prevalence of wheeze for a one interquartile range increase in airborne endotoxin among the 360 children in households with dust endotoxin levels between the 5th and 95th percentiles.

T1 - Reproductive Disruption in Wild Longear Sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) Exposed to Kraft Mill Effluent
AN - 14760080; 10692541
AB - The hormonal status of wild fish in a U.S. river receiving unbleached kraft and recycled pulp mill effluent was evaluated. The two alternative hypotheses namely, the effluent contained constituents that suppressed male and female reproduction, or it contained an androgenic substance that masculinized females, were also evaluated. A 697 longear sunfish Lepomis megalotis was marked over a 2-year period, to evaluate the likelihood of fish exposure to effluent. The sex steroid hormone and vitellogenin (VTG) concentrations were measured in male and female longear sunfish captured at two sites upstream and two sites downstream of the effluent outfall, to diagnose endocrine disruption. It was found that the longear sunfish in the Pearl River experienced moderate reproductive suppression in response to unbleached kraft and recycled pulp mill effluent.

T1 - Membrane-anchored CD14 is required for LPS-induced TLR4 endocytosis in TLR4/MD-2/CD14 overexpressing CHO cells
AN - 19767138; 6634800
AB - Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammatory activation through TLR4 (toll-like receptor-4)/MD-2 (myeloid differentiation-2)/CD14 (cluster of differentiation-14) complex. Although optimal LPS signaling is required to activate our innate immune systems against gram-negative bacterium, excessive amount of LPS signaling develops a detrimental inflammatory response in gram-negative bacterial infections. Downregulation of surface TLR4 expression is one of the critical mechanisms that can restrict LPS signaling. Here, we found that membrane-anchored CD14 is required for LPS-induced downregulation of TLR4 and MD-2 in CHO cells. Moreover, pretreatment of the cells with sterol-binding agent filipin reduced LPS-induced TLR4 downregulation, suggesting the involvement of caveolae-mediated endocytosis pathway. Involvement of caveolae in LPS-induced TLR4 endocytosis was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation. Thus, our data indicate that caveolae-dependent endocytosis pathway is involved in LPS-induced TLR4 downregulation and that this is dependent on membrane-anchored CD14 expression.

T1 - Comparing the organophosphorus and carbamate insecticide resistance mutations in cholin- and carboxyl-esterases.
AN - 68880606; 16289012
AB - Mutant insect carboxyl/cholinesterases underlie over 60 cases of resistance to organophosphorus and/or carbamate insecticides. Biochemical and molecular data on about 20 of these show recurrent use of a very small number of mutational options to generate either target site or metabolic resistance. Moreover, the mutant enzymes are often kinetically inefficient and associated with significant fitness costs, due to impaired performance of the enzymes' original function. By contrast many bacterial enzymes are now known which can effectively detoxify these pesticides. It appears that the constraints of the genetic code and eukaryote genetic systems have severely limited the evolutionary response of insects to the widespread use of the insecticides over the last 60 years.

T1 - Population dynamics of Rattus argentiventer, Rattus losea, and Rattus rattus inhabiting a mixed-farming system in the Red River Delta, Vietnam
AN - 853477096; 13884973
AB - Rodent pests cause significant damage to lowland irrigated rice crops in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam. Data from a 4-year study were examined to look at the population dynamics of the ricefield rat, Rattus argentiventer (representing 50% of captures), the lesser ricefield rat, Rattus losea (30% of captures), and the black rat, Rattus rattus complex (9% of captures) that inhabit the irrigated mixed-cropping system. We tested the hypothesis that these rodent species were breeding in response to the availability of high-quality food provided by crops rather than in response to rainfall. The abundance of rodents fluctuated annually, with a main peak following the spring rice crop, and a secondary peak following the summer rice crop. There was a strong relationship between the monthly abundance of rats and rainfall, but a weak relationship between monthly rates of increase and rainfall. There were distinct peaks in breeding activity during the reproductive stages of the rice crops suggesting that changes in crop stages were more important than rainfall in this seasonal, but irrigated agroecosystem. The modal litter size for R. argentiventer was 8 (mean of 8.67c0.20 SE, range 2-16), where the mode for R. losea, was 7 (mean of 7.32c0.15 SE, range 3-14). Management of these species needs to be conducted prior to the onset of the main breeding seasons.

T1 - The Influence of Glucose and Fructose on the Degradation of 2-Chlorophenol by Pseudomonas putida CP1
AN - 807282480; 13773017
AB - Pseudomonas putida CP1 grew on 2-chlorophenol when supplied as the sole source of carbon. Chlorophenol degradation was stimulated in the presence of low concentrations of glucose (0.05-1%, w/v). Substrate removal was inhibited and there was a significant fall in pH with concentrations of glucose greater than 1.0% (w/v). When the pH was controlled at pH 7.0 inhibition of substrate removal was alleviated. The rate of removal of 2-chlorophenol was greater in the presence of fructose than in the presence of glucose. P. putida CP1 formed clumps of cells when grown on 2-chlorophenol and fructose but not on glucose. When the organism was grown on a combination of 2-chlorophenol and an additional carbon source clumping was present but to a lesser degree.

AB - This report addresses the question of what libraries and archives are legally empowered to do to preserve and make accessible for research their holdings of pre-1972 commercial recordings, the large aural legacy that is not protected by federal copyright. The report is one of a series of studies undertaken by the National Recording Preservation Board, under the auspices of the Library of Congress, to "maintain and preserve sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," as directed by Congress in the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 [Public Law 106-474]. The act specifically requires the conduct of a study of "current laws and restrictions regarding the use of archives of sound recordings, including recommendations for changes in such laws and restrictions to enable the Library of Congress and other nonprofit institutions in the field of sound recording preservation to make their collections available to researchers in a digital format" and of "copyright and other laws applicable to the preservation of sound recordings." As the first in-depth analysis by a nationally known expert in copyright law, this report will also be a timely and authoritative aid to the many librarians and archivists who face decisions daily about how to establish priorities for sound preservation. This report not only provides clear evidence of the need for updating copyright law to take advantage of digital technologies to preserve and to make accessible the full range of the sound heritage, but also demonstrates what preserving institutions can do to ensure access to the past aural landscape into the future. Results of Preliminary Research Concerning State Law is appended. (Contains 168 footnotes.)

T1 - Initiation of zinc treatment for acute childhood diarrhoea and risk for vomiting or regurgitation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
AN - 70151538; 16599101
AB - The childhood diarrhoea-management guidelines of the World Health Organization/United Nations Children's Fund (WHO/UNICEF) now include zinc treatment, 20 mg per day for 10 days. To determine if a dispersible zinc sulphate tablet formulation is associated with increased risk of vomiting or regurgitation following the initial, first treatment dose, a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was carried out in the Dhaka hospital of ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research (n=800) and in an adjacent NGO outpatient clinic (n=800). Children were randomized to one of three groups: no treatment, placebo, or zinc sulphate tablet (20 mg). They were then observed for 60 minutes, and all vomiting or regurgitation episodes were recorded. When compared with placebo, zinc treatment resulted in an attributable risk increase of 14% for vomiting and 5.2% for regurgitation. The median time to vomiting among those receiving zinc was 9.6 minutes and was limited to one episode in 91.2% of the cases. Overall, the proportion of 60-minute post-treatment vomiting attributable to zinc, placebo, and the illness episode was estimated to be 40%, 26%, and 34% respectively. The dispersible zinc sulphate tablet formulation at a dose of 20 mg is associated with increased risks of vomiting and regurgitation. Both are transient side-effects.

T1 - The adsorption of cyanobacterial hepatoxins as a function of soil properties.
AN - 70118448; 16459840
AB - Cyanobacterial hepatotoxins present a risk to public health when present in drinking water supplies. Existing removal strategies, although efficient, are not economically viable or practical for remote Australian communities and developing nations. Bank filtration is a natural process and a potential low cost, toxin removal strategy. Batch studies were conducted in 12 texturally diverse soils to examine the soil properties influencing the adsorption of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxins, microcystin-LR and nodularin. Sorption isotherms were measured. Freundlich and linear isotherms were observed for both toxins with adsorption coefficients not exceeding 2.751 kg(-1) for nodularin and 3.81 kg(-1) for microcystin. Significant positive correlations were identified between hepatotoxin sorption and clay and silt contents of the soils. Desorption of toxins was also measured in three different soils. Pure nodularin and microcystin-LR readily desorbed from all soils.

T1 - Acoustic output as measured by mechanical and thermal indices during routine obstetric ultrasound examinations.
AN - 68822120; 16301723
AB - The purpose of this study was to quantify the acoustic output of clinical ultrasound instruments, as expressed by the thermal index (TI) and mechanical index (MI), during routine obstetric examinations.
A prospective, observational study was conducted. Sonographers were unaware of the data being sought. Data were collected regarding duration of the examination and specific duration spent at each MI and TI. A total of 11 first-trimester, 14 second-trimester, and 12 third-trimester examinations were evaluated. The mean duration of the first-trimester examination was 8.9 minutes. The mean MI was 0.73 (range, 0.3-1.3), and the mean TI was 0.34 (0.1-1.7). The mean duration of the second-trimester examination was 31.8 minutes. The mean MI was 1.04 (0.5-1.5), and the mean TI was 0.28 (0.1-2.4). The mean duration of the third-trimester examination was 16.3 minutes. The mean MI was 1.06 (0.2-1.5), and the mean TI was 0.32 (0.1-2.4). Statistical significance existed across trimesters with regard to examination durations and MI (P or = 1) were brief (mean +/- SD, 0.17 +/- 0.08 minutes) and were observed during the short periods of color Doppler imaging.
Output levels during routine obstetric ultrasound examinations, as expressed by the MI and TI, are generally low. However, higher output levels, particularly TI levels of greater than 1.5, can be achieved, although they account for only a very small proportion of examination time.

T1 - Review of the toxicology of carbonyl sulfide, a new grain fumigant.
AN - 68622972; 16139940
AB - Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a new grain fumigant which has been developed to replace methyl bromide, being phased out due to its ozone depletion properties, and to supplement phosphine gas which is experiencing increased insect resistance. Treatment of commodities with COS, a highly effective fumigant, results in residues that are near or indistinguishable to natural background levels of this compound. COS is a naturally occurring gas, being the predominant sulfur moiety in the atmosphere, occurs naturally in food and is a normal by-product of mammalian aerobic metabolism. COS has low acute inhalational toxicity but with a steep dose response curve; COS is neither genotoxic nor a developmental toxicant but does reversibly impair male fertility. Prolonged, repeated exposure to COS is likely to present similar neurotoxicity hazards to that of the structurally and toxicologically related compound carbon disulfide. Although the occupational risks presented by COS as a fumigant of bulk grain are significant, these are, as they have been for a considerable time for phosphine and methyl bromide, manageable by good occupational safety practices. Consideration may need to be given to scrubbing of ventilated COS and its breakdown product hydrogen sulfide, at the completion of fumigation to minimise worker and bystander exposure. In terms of classical regulatory toxicology studies, the available database for COS is deficient in many aspects and registration in most jurisdictions will depend on sound scientific argument built upon the totality of the existing scientific data as there are strong arguments supporting the registration of this compound.

AN - 59689236; 200605706
AB - Legal restrictions on executive branch agency use of funds for public relations activities & propaganda can be found in statutory law, appropriations law, & federal regulations. Nevertheless, executive agencies frequently expend public funds to promote aggressively the agendas of presidents. The legal restraints against propaganda have proven ineffective for three reasons: first, agencies do not track spending on public relations activities, which makes congressional oversight difficult; second, the line between appropriate public relations activities & propaganda is blurry; &, third, enforcement of the laws against propaganda runs headlong into the separation of powers.

AB - Italian translation of a paper given at the 71st IFLA Conference, Oslo, 14-18 August 2005. As the result of user-friendly Web experiences, today's information-seekers have been conditioned by Web search engines to expect immediate gratification. 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 everywhere 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, NBAs must address the need for a new generation of OPACs that offer 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 NBAs and libraries are to retain the support of satisfied users into the 21st century. Offers specific recommendations to assist users in identifying and implementing appropriate responses. Original article in Italian. (Author abstract)

T1 - Social Functioning and Quality of Life of People with Schizophrenia in the Northern Region of Malaysia
AN - 57215999; 200808991
AB - This is an explorative study on the quality of life of 258 people with schizophrenia living in the northern region of Malaysia. The study samples were selected from the Outpatient Department of the Departments of Psychiatry attached to the General Hospitals located in Northern Malaysia. Details on background and illness characteristics of the respondents were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO/DAS) was used to collect information related to respondents' social functioning. The Quality of Life Interview (QOLI) was used to collect the information about quality of life (QOL). Results of the present study indicated serious deficits in the areas of social functioning and quality of home environment and these deficits were found to have a significant association with low QOL. Based on these findings, the present research argues that policy makers must focus more on creating rehabilitation resources within communities which will complement the level of success achieved in reducing psychotic symptoms. Results of the study highlight an urgent need for the creation of community-based rehabilitation facilities for the successful care of people with a mental illness in Malaysia. This is necessary for other countries in the region as well. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Limitations to the Potential of Transgenic Trifolium subterraneum L. Plants that Exude Phytase when Grown in Soils with a Range of Organic P Content
AN - 20723774; 6952165
AB - Growth and P-nutrition of transgenic Trifolium subterraneum L. which express a chimeric fungal phytase gene (ex::phyA) was compared to azygous and wild-type controls in a range of soils that differed in organic P content. Shoot and root growth by plant lines were measured and effects of reducing the influence of soil microorganisms were investigated by pasteurising the soils. Plants that expressed phyA did not have better P-nutrition than control plants after 56 days growth, except in a soil that contained a large concentration of both total organic P and organic P that was amenable to hydrolysis by a plant-derived phytase. Pasteurisation had little effect on the relative P-nutrition of the various plant lines in any of the soils. Roots of transgenic plants that expressed ex::phyA were shorter than controls up to 21 days growth in a number of soils, which resulted in an initial greater P accumulation efficiency. However, greater P accumulation efficiency was only maintained in the soil where significant growth and P nutrition responses were also observed. Availability of inositol phosphates in soil is a major factor that limits the effectiveness of expressing fungal phytase genes in plants as a means to improve P-nutrition. Reducing the influence of rhizosphere microorganisms appeared to have little effect on the P-nutrition of plant lines, but the longer root system produced by control plants may have initially provided them with greater access to soil P resources. This research highlights the inherent difficulty in improving the P-nutrition of plants by the manipulation of single traits in isolation, but does provide some evidence that such approaches can be successful under certain edaphic conditions.

T1 - Isolation and characterisation of components of the Dunaliella tertiolecta chloroplast genome
AN - 20168619; 7016180
AB - Three chloroplast genes, psbA, psbB and rbcL, of the microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta were targeted with the view to using these components in the construction of a chloroplast transformation vector. The three genes and surrounding genomic regions were isolated by screening libraries and using degenerate primers to amplify by PCR conserved coding regions and unknown flanking sequences. The putative Dunaliella psbA, psbB and rbcL proteins show high levels of sequence conservation sharing approximately 87, 92 and 97% similarity to the homologues of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Interestingly, four of the five introns of the psbA gene contain long open-reading frames which have sequence similarity to the H-N-H and GIY-YIG site-specific homing endonucleases suggesting that, like other microalgae, the Dunaliella gene contains group I introns. Putative promoter regions of the psbB and rbcL genes were isolated and found to contain the required signals necessary for gene expression.

T1 - Therapeutic effect of alpha -galactosylceramide-loaded dendritic cells genetically engineered to express SLC/CCL21 along with tumor antigen against peritoneally disseminated tumor cells
AN - 19928963; 6567269
AB - The close cooperation of both innate and acquired immunity is essential for the induction of truly effective antitumor immunity. We tested a strategy to enhance the cross-talk between NKT cells and conventional antigen-specific T cells with the use of alpha GalCer-loaded dendritic cells genetically engineered to express antigen plus chemokine, attracting both conventional T cells and NKT cells. DC genetically engineered to express a model antigen, OVA, along with SLC/CCL21 or monokine induced by IFN- gamma /CXCL9, had been generated using a method based on in vitro differentiation of DC from mouse ES cells. The ES-DC were loaded with alpha -GalCer and transferred to mice bearing MO4, an OVA-expressing melanoma, and their capacity to evoke antitumor immunity was evaluated. In vivo transfer of either OVA-expressing ES-DC, stimulating OVA-reactive T cells, or alpha -GalCer-loaded non-transfectant ES-DC, stimulating NKT cells, elicited a significant but limited degree of protection against the i.p. disseminated MO4. A more potent antitumor effect was observed when alpha -GalCer was loaded to ES-DC expressing OVA before in vivo transfer, and the effect was abrogated by the administration of anti-CD8, anti-NK1.1 or anti-asialo GM1 antibody. alpha -GalCer-loaded double transfectant ES-DC expressing SLC along with OVA induced the most potent antitumor immunity. Thus, alpha -GalCer-loaded ES-DC expressing tumor-associated antigen along with SLC can stimulate multiple subsets of effector cells to induce a potent therapeutic effect against peritoneally disseminated tumor cells. The present study suggests a novel way to use alpha -GalCer in immunotherapy for peritoneally disseminated cancer. (Cancer Sci 2005; 96: 889-896)

T1 - First Record of the Calanoid Copepod Acartia Omorii (Copepoda: Calanoida: Acartiidae) in the Southern Bight of the North Sea
AN - 19810287; 7135933
AB - The occurrence of the calanoid copepod, Acartia omorii, is reported for the first time in the coastal waters of the Southern bight of the North Sea, off Calais harbour. Acartia omorii males and females were consistently found in four plankton samples. The collected specimens were compared with A. Omorii individuals collected from the type locality (Tokyo Bay, Japan). The capture of A. Omorii, a species native to Japanese coastal waters, is in agreement with the recent observation of the Japanese macroalgae Undaria pinnatifida within Calais harbor and the hypothesis of passive transport in ship's ballast water.

T1 - Compensation of rodent pests after removal: control of two rat species in an irrigated farming system in the Red River Delta, Vietnam
AN - 19703758; 7488255
AB - Rodent pests have a strong capacity to recover rapidly from imposed reductions in abundance, but it is unclear how populations compensate to removal when farmers apply rodent control. The response of two rat species to rodent control was monitored using regular live-trapping in an irrigated lowland mixed rice agroecosystem. Rice field rats, Rattus argentiventer (52% of rodent captures), and lesser rice field rats, Rattus losea (29%), were removed using trap-barrier systems (TBS) at two sites while rice crops were present. The TBS was a plastic fence that enclosed a small field planted 3weeks prior to the surrounding fields and set with multiple-capture cage-traps to capture rats that were attracted to the early-planted crop. Demographic responses of rats were compared to two untreated sites. There was a reduction in abundance of rodents on treated sites relative to untreated sites during the summer rice crop (by 45% and 28% for R. argentiventer and R. losea, respectively) an increase in abundance during the winter season (31% and 69%), and a mixed response during the spring rice crop (39% decrease and 41% increase). There was an increase in the proportion of juveniles captured on treated sites relative to untreated sites post-treatment (148% and 158%) and the body mass was lower on treated sites post-treatment (males: 13% and 41%; females: 22% and 22%). Older, larger animals were removed by the TBS and the rodent populations were compensating through high recruitment of young and high immigration into treated sites. No clear patterns were observed in the occurrence of adult breeding females for either R. argentiventer or R. losea. Rodent management, should therefore, occur over large areas (>100ha) to reduce the chance of reinvasion.

T1 - Options for reducing the negative effects of nitrogen in agriculture
AN - 19686989; 7436390
AB - After addition to farms by fertilizer, crop residues, biological fixation and animal excreta, nitrogen can be lost through gaseous emission, runoff and leaching to contaminate the atmosphere and water bodies, and cause adverse health effects. The efficiency of fertilizer nitrogen can be increased and losses reduced, by matching supply with crop demand, optimizing split application schemes, changing the form to suit the conditions, and use of slow-release fertilizers and inhibitors. In addition, agronomic practices such as higher plant densities, weed and pest control and balanced fertilization with other nutrients can also increase efficiency of nitrogen use. Efficiency of use by animals can be increased by diet manipulation. Feeding dairy cattle low degradable protein and high starch diets, and grazing sheep and cattle on grasses high in water soluble carbohydrate result in less nitrogen excretion in urine and reduced ammonia volatilization.

T1 - Cycloheximide treatment of cotton ovules alters the abundance of specific classes of mRNAs and generates novel ESTs for microarray expression profiling
AN - 19475835; 8157441
AB - Fibres of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) are single elongated epidermal cells that start to develop on the outer surface of cotton ovules on the day of anthesis. Little is known about the control of fibre initiation and development. As a first step towards discovering important genes involved in fibre initiation and development using a genomics approach, we report technical advances aimed at reducing redundancy and increasing coverage for anonymous cDNA microarrays in this study. Cotton ovule cDNA libraries (both normalised and un-normalised) from around the time of fibre initial formation have been prepared and partially characterised by sequencing. Re-association-based normalisation partially reduced library redundancy and increased representation of novel sequences. However, another library generated from in vitro cultured cotton ovules treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, showed a significantly altered gene representation including a greater proportion of protein phosphorylation genes, transport genes and transcription factors and a much reduced proportion of protein synthesis genes than were identified in the conventional types of libraries. Over 10,000 expressed sequence tag (EST) clones randomly selected from the three libraries were printed on microarray slides and used to assess gene expression in tissue cultured ovules with and without cycloheximide treatment. The microarray results showed that cycloheximide had a dramatic effect in modifying the pattern of the gene expression in cultured ovules, affecting the same types of genes identified in the preliminary analysis on relative EST abundance in the different ovule cDNA libraries. Cycloheximide clearly provided a simple and useful method for enriching novel gene sequences for genomic studies.

T1 - Microalgae as bioreactors
AN - 19436906; 6953149
AB - Microalgae already serve as a major natural source of valuable macromolecules including carotenoids, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and phycocolloids. As photoautotrophs, their simple growth requirements make these primitive plants potentially attractive bioreactor systems for the production of high-value heterologous proteins. The difficulty of producing stable transformants has meant that the field of transgenic microalgae is still in its infancy. Nonetheless, several species can now be routinely transformed and algal biotechnology companies have begun to explore the possibilities of synthesizing recombinant therapeutic proteins in microalgae and the engineering of metabolic pathways to produce increased levels of desirable compounds. In this review, we compare the current commercially viable bioreactor systems, outline recent progress in microalgal biotechnology and transformation, and discuss the potential of microalgae as bioreactors for the production of heterologous proteins.

T1 - Lake Worth Lagoon Conceptual Ecological Model
AN - 19425322; 6657781
AB - The Lake Worth Lagoon is a major estuarine water body located in Palm Beach County, Florida whose remaining natural resouces need to be protected. The lagoonal ecosystem has been stressed through the past one hundred years due to many anthropogenic influences. Altered hydrology of the system allows massive freshwater discharges into the lagoon, which exit via two ocean inlets and influence continental reef systems. These discharges carry large influxes of nutrients, suspended and dissolved organic matter, contaminants, and toxins into the lagoon, affecting the flora and fauna. Additional pressures in this urbanized coastal area include boating and fishing pressures, as well as loss of natural habitat through physical alterations to the system. A conceptual ecological model of the cause-and-effect relationships of flora and fauna to human-induced and natural conditions within the system was developed. The model consists of ecosystem external drivers and ecological stressors, ecological attributes, and ecological effects, and presents research hypotheses, including the effects of altered volume, timing and distribution of fresh water relative to seagrasses, macroinvertebrates, salinity, fishes, nutrients, toxins, suspended solids, and dissolved organic loads that will assist in the development of a quantitative hydrodynamic model for this system.

T1 - Purification and Characterization of Cry1Ac Toxin Binding Proteins from the Brush Border Membrane of Helicoverpa armigera Midgut
AN - 19382378; 6955257
AB - Several Cry1Ac binding proteins from midgut of Helicoverpa armigera were purified using toxin-affinity chromatography. Enzyme assays showed that the purified proteins had strong aminopeptidase activity. The N-terminal sequences confidently identified a 124-kDa binding protein as an aminopeptidase N (APN), and some similarity suggests that a 162-kDa binding protein may also be an APN. Two minor binding proteins were not characterized.

T1 - Recombinant fowlpox virus for in vitro gene delivery to pancreatic islet tissue
AN - 17438477; 6550120
AB - The feasibility of using avipox virus as a vector for gene delivery to islet tissue (adult islets and fetal proislets) was examined using a recombinant fowlpox virus (FPV) engineered to express the reporter gene LacZ (FPV-LacZ). The efficiency of in vitro transduction was dose-dependent and influenced by the donor species and maturation status of the islet tissue. Reporter gene expression in FPV-LacZ-transduced islet grafts was transient (3ndash; 7 days) in immunoincompetent nude mice and was not prolonged by in vivo treatment with anti-IFN- gamma mAb. In contrast, FPV-LacZ-transduced NIT-1 cells (a mouse islet beta cell line) expressed the LacZ gene beyond 18 days in vitro. Silencing of transgene expression therefore appeared to occur in vivo and was T cell- and IFN- gamma -independent. Isografts of FPV-LacZ-transduced islets in immunocompetent mice underwent immunological destruction by 7 days, suggesting that either FPV proteins or the reporter protein beta -galactosidase induced an adaptive immune response. Co-delivery of the rat bioactive immunoregulatory cytokine gene TGF- beta to islets using FPV-TGF- beta led to enhanced expression of TGF- beta mRNA in isografts but no long-term protection. Nevertheless, compared to control islet isografts at 5 days, FPV-transduced islets remained embedded in the clotted blood used to facilitate implantation. This phenomenon was TGF- beta transgene-independent, correlated with lack of cellular infiltration, and suggested that the FPV vector transformed the blood clot into a temporary immunological barrier.

T1 - High-resolution mapping and mutation analysis separate the rust resistance genes Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 on the short arm of rye chromosome 1
AN - 17232102; 6952879
AB - The stem, leaf and stripe rust resistance genes Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9, located on the short arm of rye chromosome 1, have been widely used in wheat by means of wheat-rye translocation chromosomes. Previous studies have suggested that these resistance specificities are encoded by either closely-linked genes, or by a single gene capable of recognizing all three rust species. To investigate these issues, two 1BL.1RS wheat lines, one with and one without Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9, were used as parents for a high-resolution F2 mapping family. Thirty-six recombinants were identified between two PCR markers 2.3 cM apart that flanked the resistance locus. In one recombinant, Lr26 was separated from Sr31 and Yr9. Mutation studies recovered mutants that separated all three rust resistance genes. Thus, together, the recombination and mutation studies suggest that Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 are separate closely-linked genes. An additional 16 DNA markers were mapped in this region. Multiple RFLP markers, identified using part of the barley Mla powdery mildew resistance gene as probe, co-segregated with Sr31 and Yr9. One deletion mutant that had lost Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 retained all Mla markers, suggesting that the family of genes on 1RS identified by the Mla probe does not contain the Sr31, Lr26 or Yr9 genes. The genetic stocks and DNA markers generated from this study should facilitate the future cloning of Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9.

T1 - Mountains: Special places to be protected? An analysis of worldwide nature conservation efforts in mountains
AN - 17177741; 6832430
AB - Mountains are regularly a focus of international efforts to conserve the environment and promote sustainable development. The present article analyses the extent of protection in mountainous compared to non-mountainous areas, sheds light on the rationales behind the establishment of mountain protected areas, and proposes directions for future conservation endeavours with reference to mountain protected areas. Results show that the surface covered by protected areas did not change much between 1930 and 1960. After which it grew exponentially, benefiting from the emergence of coordinated global conservation efforts. In 2005, total protected areas covered 16.3 million km super(2) (11.1%) of the land surface. Compared to the total respective surfaces, the proportion of mountain protected areas is slightly greater (11.4%) than the proportion of non-mountainous areas (11.0%). The main reasons for this can be found mainly in biophysical (biodiversity hotspots, endemism) and culturally embedded (uniqueness, sacredness) features, as well as in the relative remoteness and lower human population densities of mountains. However, in order to realise future sustainable conservation efforts in mountains (and elsewhere), people-oriented conservation approaches that call for ecologically sound, feasible and socially just protected area development will be needed.

T1 - Organophosphate Urinary Metabolite Levels During Pregnancy and After Delivery in Women Living in an Agricultural Community
AN - 14762647; 10692106
AB - Six dialkyl phosphate (DAP) urinary metabolites of organophosphate (OP) pesticides were measured in 600 pregnant women living in an agriculture area in the Salinas Valley, California. Samples were collected twice during pregnancy and just after delivery. It was observed that total dialkyl phosphate metabolite levels in samples collected after delivery, were higher than in samples collected during pregnancy. Total DAP metabolite concentrations were log-normally distributed, whereas the dimethyl and diethyl phosphate molar concentrations were not. Median metabolite levels at the first and second prenatal sampling points and at the postpartum collection were 102.8, 106.8, and nmol/L respectively. Creatinine levels consistently decreased from the first prenatal sample through postpartum, with median levels of 98.3 mg/dL.

T1 - The Association Between Fatal Coronary Heart Disease and Ambient Particulate Air Pollution: Are Females at Greater Risk?
AN - 14762617; 10692094
AB - The effect of long-term ambient particulate matter (PM) on risk of fatal coronary disease (CHD) was investigated. Monthly indices of ambient air pollutant concentrations at 348 monitoring stations throughout California were interpolated to geographic ZIP code centroids according to home and home and work location histories of study participants. Daily estimates of ambient PM sub(2.5) concentration were obtained for 11 airsheds from daily measures of visibility collected at the nine California airports for the year 1973-1998 using regression equations relating PM sub(2.5) and visibility. Individual monthly average PM sub(2.5) concentrations were calculated as the mean of daily ambient PM sub(2.5) estimates for the airshed in which the participant resided. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to study associations between pollutants. The lowest distribution of PM sub(2.5) lived in the airsheds represented by the San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, and Almeda airports and medium levels were found in Fresno, Los Angeles International, Bakersfield, Long Beach, Ontario West, and Ontario Central.

T1 - Evidence of Detrimental Effects of Environmental Contaminants on Growth and Reproductive Physiology of White Sturgeon in Impounded Areas of the Columbia River
AN - 14762582; 10692087
AB - The influence of detrimental effects of environmental contaminants on growth and reproductive physiology of white sturgeon in impounded areas of the Columbia River was presented. All of the 18 pesticides and almost all of the 28 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) that were analyzed in livers and gonads were detected in at least some of the tissue samples. The negative correlations were found between a number of physiologic parameters and tissue burdens of toxicants. The condition factor and the plasma triglycerides were also negatively correlated with total dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), total pesticides, and PCBs. The fish residing in the reservoir behind the oldest dam had the highest contaminant loads and incidence of gonadal abnormalities and the lowest triglyceride, condition factor, gonad size, and plasma androgens. The exposure to environmental contaminants could affect growth and reproductive physiology of sturgeon in some areas of the Columbia River.

T1 - A Critical Review of Biomarkers Used for Monitoring Human Exposure to Lead: Advantages, Limitations, and Future Needs
AN - 14762544; 10692086
AB - The limitation of biomarkers of lead (Pb) exposure and the need to improve the accuracy of their measurement were discussed. The traditional analytical protocols in use were presented and the influence of confounding variables on lead concentration in whole blood (BPb) levels was assessed. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization defines a BPb pf 10 mu /dL as the threshold of concern in young children. The interpretation of BPb data with respect to both external and endogenous Pb exposure, past or recent exposure, as well as the significance of Pb determinations in human specimens including hair, nails, saliva, bone, blood, urine, feces, and exfoliated teeth was also discussed. The investigations reported the possibility of adverse health effects including intellectual impairment in young children at BPb levels<10 mu g/dL suggesting that there is no safe level of exposure.

T1 - Associations Between Health Effects and Particulate Matter and Black Carbon in Subjects with Respiratory Disease
AN - 14762068; 10692097
AB - Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FE sub(NO)), spirometry, blood pressure, oxygen saturation of the blood (SAO sub(2)), and pulse rate in 16 older subjects with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Seattle, Washington, were analyzed. Particulate Matter, PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5) filter samples were collected at a central outdoor site, as well as outside and inside the subject's homes. The filters for mass and light absorbance were analyzed. Black carbon (BC) was measured by diffuse transmittance through or reflectance from a Teflon filter. All filter weights were measured in either duplicate or triplicate using an electronic ultra microbalance. Cardiac medications were used as an interaction term for the blood pressure and pulse rate analysis. No associations were observed between air pollution and Sao sub(2), blood pressure, or pulse rate.

T1 - Leukotoxin Diols from Ground Corncob Bedding Disrupt Estrous Cyclicity in Rats and Stimulate MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation
AN - 14762018; 10692090
AB - The purification of the peak II component was described using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and its identification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The HPLC analysis of ground corncob bedding extracts characterized two components that disrupted endocrine function in male and female rates and stimulated breast and prostate cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. The HPLC separated a synthetic mixture of LTX-diol and 12,13-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid, i-LTX-isomers, and each isomer stimulated MCF-7 cell proliferation in an equivalent fashion. The LTX-diol isomers did not compete for [SUP>3] estradiol binding to the estrogen receptor or nuclear type II sites, even though oral administration of very low doses of these compounds disrupted estrous cyclicity in female rats. It was found that the LTX-diols did not disrupt male sexual behavior, suggesting that sex differences exist in response to these endocrine-disruptive agents.

T1 - Evolving Partnerships in Community
AN - 14761687; 10692107
AB - An overview of three projects, namely Detroit, Akwesasne, and North Carolina that highlights the similarity and dissimilarity in developing community-university partnerships are presented. These projects are funded within the Health Disparities Program (HDP), which addresses complex scientific research questions that determine the mechanisms through which the social and physical environments influence biological processes and behavior that contribute to health disparities. The projects offer insights into various ways of forming, working, and sustaining community-university partnerships in conducting community-based participatory research (CBPR). The projects demonstrate both the potential benefits and challenges involved with establishing partnerships between community groups and researches committed to the mutual goal of promoting environmental health. Projects also suggest the importance of nonprescriptive frameworks for conducting community-based participatory research that focuses on more equitable power relationships to address health disparities to help alleviate environmental health problems.

T1 - Acute Effects of a Fungal Volatile Compound
AN - 14761657; 10692101
AB - The acute effect of 3-methylfuran (3-MF) on the eyes, nose, and airways through physiologic and biochemical tests in humans was investigated. The study consisted of 30 healthy volunteers, 20-54 years of age that were medically examined before the first exposure. Blinking of the left eye was recorded by electromyography (EMG) using three skin electrodes, two on the orbicularis oculi muscle and one reference electrode on the cheekbone. Blinks were identified by comparisons against nine conditions related to the size, shape, and appearance of the pattern. Precorneal tear film stability was assessed by measuring the tear film break-up time and by scanning the precorneal tear film with a biomicroscope. Epithelial damage to the cornea and conjunctiva was assessed using a semi quantitative method. A washout effect with decreased biomarker concentrations was observed after repeated lavages following exposure to air.

T1 - Prenatal Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and Asthma in Children
AN - 14761269; 10692104
AB - The association between prenatal dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and other organochlorine compounds with atopy and asthma during the childhood were measured in Menorca, Spain. Asthma was defined on the basis of wheezing at 4 years of age, persistent wheezing, or doctor-diagnosed asthma. Prenatal exposure of organochlorine compounds was measured in cord serum in 405 children, while immunoglobulin-E (IgE) was measured against house dust mite, cat, and grass in sera extracted at 4 years of age. DDE, hexachlorobenzene, and polychlorobiphenyls were detected in all the children. Wheezing at 4 years of age increased with DDE concentration, particularly at the highest quartile. DDE was not associated with atopy alone.

T1 - Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Independent Toxicity of Weathered Crude Oil During Fish Development
AN - 14760922; 10692098
AB - An analysis showing that the weathered crude oil syndrome was distinct from the well-characterized aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) dependent effects of dioxin toxicity by using zebrafish embryos was performed. Six oiled gravel experiments were performed in which two included uninjected embryos only, three included AhR2 morphants (n>300), two included AhR1/AhR2 double morphants, and one included CYP1A morphants. For injections involving AhR1, embryos were selected on an epifluoresdent stereoscope based on fluorescence intensity and an even distribution in blastomeres. Antibodies used were monoclonal 1-12-3 against fish CYP1A, anti-myosin heavy chainmonochlonal MF20, and anti-atrial myosin heavy chain monoclonal S46. Treated or control embryos were marked by tail clipping and mixed for antibody labeling, mounted together, and imaged with identical settings for semi quantitative comparisons. At comparable time points, CYP1A morphants exposed to pyrene had defects that were less severe than those of controls.

T1 - Influence of Geographic Location in Modeling Blood Pesticide Levels in a Community Surrounding a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Site
AN - 14760882; 10692092
AB - The geographic distribution characteristics of organochlorine levels in approximately 1.374 blood samples collected in 1974 from residents of a community with a potential organochlorine source were investigated. Multivariate linear regression models were used to characterize the blood organochlorine levels of the residents that were analyzed using both environmental and individual covariates. The distance-to-site variable was created to represent a proxy for unknown and unmeasured unique contributions from the source. A significant inverse relationship was observed between blood dieldrin levels and residential distance from the potential source. The blood dieldrin levels were decreased to 1.6 ng/g for every mile of distance from the source, adjusting for age, sex, education level, smoking status, and drinking water source.

T1 - Exploration of Work and Health Disparities Among Black Women Employed in Poultry Processing in the Rural South
AN - 14758639; 10692110
AB - The health disparities among the black women working in poultry processing plants in rural North Carolina were analyzed. Epidemiologic analysis was supplemented by ethnographic interviews to provide detailed insights into the effects of this type of employment. Community based staff, as paid members of the research team, manage the local project office, recruit and retain participants, conduct interviews, coordinate physical assessments, and participate in outreach. It was observed that primary outcomes of interest were in upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders and function as well as quality of life. Women maintained that management and health care providers often attributed their musculoskeletal complaints to obesity, child-care responsibilities, or conditions existing prior to their employment.

T1 - Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Children with Asthma and Short-Term PM sub(2.5) Exposure in Seattle
AN - 14758610; 10692105
AB - The association between short-term exposures to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters < 2.5 mu m exposure and fractional concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled breath (FE sub(NO)) in children with asthma were measured using a polynomial distributed lag (pdl) model, in Seattle. The exposure data were collected with tapered element oscillation microbalance (TEOM) PM sub(2.5) monitors. It was found that FE sub(NO) was associated with hourly averages of PM sub(2.5) up to 10-12 hours after exposure. The sum of coefficients for the lag times associated with PM sub(2.5) in the model was 7.0 ppm FE sub(NO). A significant increase in FE sub(NO) associated with PM sub(2.5) was observed in the first 11 hr after exposure.

T1 - Acute Ozone-Induced Differential Gene Expression Profiles in Rat Lung
AN - 14758596; 10692093
AB - Molecular changes were assessed in lung tissues of rats 2 hr postexposure using a rat cDNA expression array containing 588 characterized genes by exposing rats to toxic concentration of O sub(3) for 2 hr. Nylon microarray with a limited and targeted number of well-characterized rat genes were used to identify gene expression profiles involved in the acute response to toxic doses of O sub(3). Two hours postexposure, rats were anesthetized by an ip injection of pentobarbital and exsanguinated by severing the dorsal aorta. RNA was treated with DNAse to remove any contaminating DNA and purified after phenol:chloroform extraction. Relative gene expression was quantified using real-time reverse transcriptase (RT). With exposure to O sub(3), statistically significant augmentation of expression was found in 62 genes at 2 ppm and 57 genes at 5 ppm O sub(3).

T1 - The Tobacco Industry and Pesticide Regulations: Case Studies from Tobacco Industry Archives
AN - 14758020; 10692084
AB - The internal tobacco industry documents were analyzed to describe industry activities aimed at influencing pesticide regulations. An approach based on examination of approximately 2,000 internal company documents and 3,885 pages of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests were used for the analysis. The tobacco industry successfully altered the outcome in two cases by hiring ex-agency scientists to write reports favorable to industry positions regarding pesticide regulations for national and international regulatory bodies. The industry is working to forestall tobacco pesticide regulation by attempting to self-regulate in Europe. The tobacco industry is able to exert considerable influence over the pesticide regulatory process. The increased scrutiny of the process and protection of the public interest in pesticide regulation could be warranted.

T1 - Social and Physical Environments and Disparities in Risk for Cardiovascular Disease: The Healthy Environments Partnership Conceptual Model
AN - 14757588; 10692108
AB - The Healthy Environments Partnership (HEP) conceptual model is a community-based participatory research effort. It considers race-based residential segregation and associated concentrations of poverty and wealth to be fundamental factors influencing multiple, and more proximate predictors of cardiovascular risks. HEP investigates the prevalence of biologic indicators of cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) and the extent to which these inequalities are mediated through social and physical environmental exposures, with implications for proximate factors. HEP model aims to disseminate and translate findings to inform new and established intervention and policy efforts through HEP community outreach and education program (COEP). HEP seeks to contribute to an understanding of factors that contributes to racial and socioeconomic health inequities, and develops a foundation for efforts to eliminate disparities in Detroit.

T1 - Body Burdens of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Among Urban Anglers
AN - 14757556; 10692089
AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) were analyzed using gas chromatography-isotope dilution-high-resolution mass spectrometry to determine the fish consumption as a source of PBDE exposure for humans. The blood samples for PBDE analysis were collected from 94 anglers fishing from piers on the lower Hudson River and Newark Bay, and frequency of local fish consumption was assessed by questionnaire. Lipid-adjusted and non-lipid-adjusted geometric mean (GM) concentrations of the individual PBDE congeners were calculated and stratified by fish consumption category. Anglers reporting consumption of local fish had higher concentrations of PBDE than did anglers who did not eat local fish. The moderate dose-response relationships were found between serum PBDE levels and frequency of reported fish intake for some congeners.

T1 - Effect of Lead Exposure and Ergonomic Stressors on Peripheral Nerve Function
AN - 14755388; 10692095
AB - Different nerve fiber populations in the upper extremities of a group of lead workers with substantial chronic lead exposure and a broad range of ergonomic stressors (ES) were examined by using current perception threshold (CPT). Blood and bone lead levels, and from historical records, calculated lead dose metrics reflecting cumulative lead exposure, working-lifetime integrated blood lead (IBL) and working-lifetime weighted-average blood lead (TWA) were measured. A screening neuropsychological battery was administered to 468 current and retired smelter workers by testers blinded to the degree of lead exposure of the worker. Age, current alcohol use, current use, current smoking, ES, and lead exposure metrices were examined using univariate descriptive statistics to check for data entry. It was observed that the thresholds by fiber population decreased from large myelinated nerve fibers to small myelinated nerve fibers and more so for small unmyelinated nerve fibers.

T1 - Chronic toxicity of uranium to a tropical green alga (Chlorella sp.) in natural waters and the influence of dissolved organic carbon.
AN - 68777790; 16260049
AB - The chronic toxicity (72-h cell division rate) of uranium (U) to the unicellular alga, Chlorella sp., was assessed in natural Magela Creek water (NMCW) to provide data for the derivation of a site-specific water quality trigger value for U in Magela Creek, NT, Australia. In addition, the data were compared to those for Chlorella sp. when tested for U toxicity using synthetic Magela Creek water (SMCW), which simulates the inorganic composition of Magela Creek water and contains no organic component. Based on one rangefinder and four definitive toxicity tests, concentrations causing a 50% inhibition of algal growth after 72 h exposure (72 h IC50s) ranged between 137 and 238 microg/LU, no-observed-effect concentrations (NOECs) from 72 to 157 microg/LU and lowest-observed-effect concentrations (LOECs) from 120 to 187 microg/LU. Based on these data, Chlorella sp. was the second most sensitive organism to U of five local species that have been assessed using NMCW. The U toxicity data for Chlorella sp. were incorporated with existing data for the four other species to derive a site-specific guideline value for Magela Creek that is protective of 99% of species of 6 microg/L. The toxicity of U to Chlorella sp. in NMCW was approximately two to four times lower than in SMCW. Based on geochemical speciation modelling, this difference corresponded to a four-fold decrease in the proportion of free uranyl ion (UO2(2+)) in NMCW compared to SMCW, most likely due to the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in NMCW. Relatively, large variability in U toxicity across the tests conducted in NMCW was found to be inversely related to DOC concentration (r2 = 0.996, n = 4, P = 0.002). Speciation modelling indicated that the increase in DOC was associated with an increase in the proportion of U complexed with DOC (r2 = 0.986, n = 4, P < 0.001) and a decrease in the proportion of the UO2(2+) (r2 = 0.989, n = 4, P = 0.006). When the proportion of UO2(2+) was regressed against U toxicity, a very strong, positive relationship was observed (r2 = 1, n = 4, P < 0.001). The results indicate that the bioavailability and toxicity of U is highly influenced by dissolved organic matter and that the relationship should be further quantified.

T1 - MINISEED3 (MINI3), a WRKY family gene, and HAIKU2 (IKU2), a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) KINASE gene, are regulators of seed size in Arabidopsis.
AN - 68846667; 16293693
AB - We have identified mutant alleles of two sporophytically acting genes, HAIKU2 (IKU2) and MINISEED3 (MINI3). Homozygotes of these alleles produce a small seed phenotype associated with reduced growth and early cellularization of the endosperm. This phenotype is similar to that described for another seed size gene, IKU1. MINI3 encodes WRKY10, a WRKY class transcription factor. MINI3 promoter::GUS fusions show the gene is expressed in pollen and in the developing endosperm from the two nuclei stage at approximately 12 hr postfertilization to endosperm cellularization at approximately 96 hr. MINI3 is also expressed in the globular embryo but not in the late heart stage of embryo development. The early endosperm expression of MINI3 is independent of its parent of origin. IKU2 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) KINASE (At3g19700). IKU2::GUS has a similar expression pattern to that of MINI3. The patterns of expression of the two genes and their similar phenotypes indicate they may operate in the same genetic pathway. Additionally, we found that both MINI3 and IKU2 showed decreased expression in the iku1-1 mutant. IKU2 expression was reduced in a mini3-1 background, whereas MINI3 expression was unaltered in the iku2-3 mutant. These data suggest the successive action of the three genes IKU1, IKU2, and MINI3 in the same pathway of seed development.

AB - Fly ash samples modified by NaOH solution and sonochemical treatment were tested for a basic dye (methylene blue) adsorption in aqueous solution. It is found that sonochemical treatment of fly ash can significantly increase the adsorption capacity depending on the concentration of NaOH and treatment time. The untreated FA and the sonochemically treated sample exhibits adsorption capacity at 6 x 10(-6)mol/g and 1.2 x 10(-5)mol/g at 30 degrees C, respectively. The adsorption tests show that solution pH and adsorption temperature also influence the adsorption behaviour. The adsorption isotherms can be fitted by Langmuir and Freudlich models, while the two-site Langmuir heterogeneous model will present the best result.

T1 - Dye adsorption on unburned carbon: kinetics and equilibrium.
AN - 68673987; 16081211
AB - Unburned carbon in fly ash is an important by-product from coal combustion. In this investigation, unburned carbon has been separated from fly ash and been employed as a low cost adsorbent for a basic dye adsorption (Rhodamine B) in aqueous solution. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of adsorption have been investigated using batch experiments. It is found that dye adsorption capacity depends on initial concentration, pH of solution, and temperature. The adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model and the adsorption capacity of Rhodamine B at 30, 40, and 50 degrees C can reach 9.7 x 10(-5), 1.14 x 10(-4), and 1.5 x 10(-4)mol g(-1), respectively. The pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models have been employed to fit the dynamic adsorption. It is found that the dynamic adsorption follows the pseudo second-order model. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that the adsorption is endothermic reaction with DeltaH degrees at 25 kJ mol(-1).

T1 - Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix in a child without in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol: a case report and review of the literature.
AN - 68915832; 16222478
AB - We describe the case of a primary cervical tumor in a 6-year-old child that was originally suspected to be an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma botryoides. Histologic analysis revealed a clear cell adenocarcinoma. Despite a direct search and questioning for maternal exposure to diethylstilbestrol, this was not documented. Clear cell adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm that should be kept in the differential diagnosis of cervicovaginal lesions in children, even in the absence of a clinical history of in utero diethylstilbestrol exposure. We discuss the hypothesized pathogenesis and review the literature on this unusual tumor.

T1 - Subsidy Estimates for Guaranteed and Direct Student Loans. A CBO Paper
AN - 62008444; ED496557
AB - The federal government assists students and their parents in meeting the costs of postsecondary education through two student loan programs, the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. Although the two programs provide similar benefits to borrowers, their structures and operations differ greatly. As a result, the federal government's cash flows for the two programs differ, as do its net budgetary costs when calculated as specified in the Federal Credit Reform Act. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper--prepared at the request of the Senate Budget Committee--describes how the agency estimates the budgetary costs of the two student loan programs and what factors account for the differences in those costs. The following are appended: (1) Sample Subsidy Rates When a Borrower Defaults or Consolidates Loans; (2) Examples of Subsidy Calculated Using Fixed Interest Rates That Take Effect in 2006; (3) CBO's Estimates of Subsidy Rates for Various Types of Guaranteed and Direct Student Loans Made in 2006; and (4) Recent Legislative and Administrative Actions Affecting the Student Loan Programs.

T1 - The Social Security Trust Funds and Public Saving
AN - 61704006; 200829109
AB - The Social Security program is one of the most popular and successful government programs in the United States. At the end of 2004, the OASDI trust funds held almost $1.7 trillion in Federal government bonds and notes. It is projected that the trust funds assets will be equivalent to over 20 percent of GDP by 2020. Several recent studies have concluded that the increases in the trust funds have been more than offset by reductions in surpluses elsewhere in the federal budget. Consequently, public saving has fallen as a result of the trust fund build-up since the mid-1980s. This study reexamines this issue and finds that the trust fund has had no impact on the rest of the federal budget.

T1 - Relationship of U1 Cell HIV-Stimulatory Activity to Bacterial Vaginosis and HIV Genital Tract Virus Load
AN - 20157103; 6571809
AB - Bacterial vaginosis (BV) has been associated with HIV sexual transmission and increased levels of genital tract HIV RNA. We postulated that BV induces the appearance of substances in the genital tract that stimulate HIV expression locally. To test this, we measured HIV RNA levels in genital mucosal fluid from women with or without BV (defined by Nugent score) and compared them with the ability of those fluids to stimulate HIV expression in the chronically HIV-infected monocytic line U1. The U1 activity was significantly higher in women with BV (median = 1320 pg/ml p24) than in women with normal flora (median = 103 pg/ml p24, p = 0.0001). However, levels of the U1 activity were not significantly associated with levels in the genital tract of HIV RNA. Levels of the U1 activity were also not associated with levels of Gardnerella vaginalis or Mycoplasma hominis in genital fluids, suggesting these bacteria were not the source of the activity. Thus, while these data show a strong association of U1 stimulatory activity with BV, no influence of the U1 activity on genital tract HIV expression was observed.

T1 - Plasmid-associated genes in the model micro-symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 affect the growth and development of young rice seedlings
AN - 17452976; 6545997
AB - Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 1021 and its closely related strain Rm2011 inhibit rice seedling (Oryza sativa L. cv. Pelde) growth and development under certain rice-growing conditions. Experiments showed that inoculation of seedlings with approximately less than 10 cells of 1021 was sufficient to cause this inhibition. By using a series of plasmid-cured and plasmid-deleted derivatives of Rm2011, it was found that interactions between genes encoded on pSymA, and possibly pSymB, of Rm2011, affected rice growth and development by affecting both-either the plant and-or the bacteria. Further studies found that genes potentially related to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis and nitrate metabolism, encoded on pSymA, were involved in rice growth inhibition in Sm1021- and Sm2011-treated rice seedlings. We conclude that the rice growth inhibition by S. meliloti Sm1021 is pSymA-associated and is induced by environmental nitrate.

T1 - Temporal patterns of genetic variation across a 9-year-old aerial seed bank of the shrub Banksia hookeriana (Proteaceae)
AN - 17438698; 6555498
AB - The pattern of accumulation of genetic variation over time in seed banks is poorly understood. We examined the genetic structure of the aerial seed bank of Banksia hookeriana within a single 15-year-old population in fire-prone southwestern Australia, and compared genetic variation between adults and each year of a 9-year-old seed bank using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). B. hookeriana is well suited to the study of seed bank dynamics due to the canopy storage of its seeds, and because each annual crop can be identified. A total of 304 seeds from nine crop years and five maternal plants were genotyped, along with 113 plants from the adult population. Genetic variation, as assessed by the proportion of polymorphic markers (P sub(p)) and Shannon's index (I), increased slightly within the seed bank over time, while gene diversity (H sub(j)), did not change. P sub(p), I, and H sub(j) all indicated that genetic variation within the seed bank quickly approached the maximal level detected. Analysis of molecular variance revealed that less than 4% of variation could be accounted for by variation among seeds produced in different years, whereas there was greater differentiation among maternal plants (12.7%), and among individual seeds produced by different maternal plants (83.4%). With increasing population age, offspring generated each year were slightly more outbred, as indicated by an increase in the mean number of nonmaternal markers per offspring. There were no significant differences for H sub(j) or I between adults and the seed bank. Viability of seeds decreased with age, such that the viability of 9-year-old seeds was half that of 2-year-old seeds. These results suggest that variable fire frequencies have only limited potential to influence the amount of genetic variation stored within the seed bank of B. hookeriana.

T1 - Habitat selection of juvenile banana prawns, Penaeus merguiensis de Man: Testing the roles of habitat structure, predators, light phase and prawn size
AN - 17206475; 6889806
AB - The effects of fish predators, light phase, habitat structure and prawn size on the habitat preferences of juvenile Penaeus (Fenneropenaeus) merguiensis de Man were examined with laboratory experiments. The behaviour of juvenile P. merguiensis within habitats of different structural complexity was also examined. Experiments were carried out in a tank (1.8 m diameter) divided into four habitats representing: bare substratum, leaf litter (little vertical structure), mangrove pneumatophores (regular vertical structure) and mangrove woody debris (heterogeneous vertical structure). The location of 10 prawns was monitored over 270 min (135 min light and 135 min dark), with different prawns five times for each combination of prawn size class, and predator (no predator; Arius graeffei Kner and Steindachner and Lates calcarifer Bloch). In the absence of predators and during the light phase, when observations on prawn behaviour were made, swimming was the most common behaviour (of seven mutually exclusive behavioural categories) with few differences in behaviour between sizes. All size classes of juvenile P. merguiensis selected vertical structure (mangrove debris and pneumatophores) over low vertical structure (leaf litter and bare substratum), in both light and dark conditions and in the presence or absence of predators. When L. calcarifer was present, the selection by prawns of the mangrove-debris habitat increased significantly. This was attributed to an increase in predation risk in the other habitats. L. calcarifer rarely pursued prey amongst the mangrove-debris structure, compared to habitats with less heterogeneous vertical structure (pneumatophores, leaf litter and bare substratum).

T1 - Organotins Disrupt the 11 beta -Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2-Dependent Local Inactivation of Glucocorticoids
AN - 14764540; 10691158
AB - The effect of various organotin compounds on the activities of 11 beta -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11 beta -HSD2) in human embryonic kidney cells stably transfected with FLAG-tagged human 11 beta -HSD2 was investigated. Results suggested that organotins inhibited 11 beta -HSD2 by a mostly reversible, mixed-competitive model of inhibition. Organotin-induced inhibition was prevented by the dithiol DTT but not by the endogenous monothiol glutathione, which suggested that two cysteine residues could be involved in the inhibition mechanism. The potency of the organotins in inhibiting 11 beta -HSD2 was equal to or greater than that reported for other enzymes involved in steroid hormone metabolism. The increased glucocorticoid-mediated effects due to the inhibition of 11 beta -HSD2 would be expected to disturb several essential physiologic processes, especially in terms of the regulation of proliferation and differentiation in various tissues.

T1 - Cellular and Hormonal Disruption of Fetal Testis Development in Sheep Reared on Pasture Treated with Sewage Sludge
AN - 14764505; 10691155
AB - Ewes maintained for 5 yr on conventionally fertilized pasture and those reared on sewage-sludge-treated pasture were used to explore the cellular and hormonal disruption of fetal testis development due to exposure to sludge-contaminated soil and herbage. The study was designed to result in the maximum rate of contamination of herbage and topsoil. Gonocyte, Sertoli, and Leydig cell numbers were determined per testis, and Sertoli cell and gonocyte proliferation indices were determined. In addition, fetal serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone were measured by radioimmunoassays. Results showed that long-term exposure of the breeding ewes to a mixture of chemicals added to pasture in sewage sludge caused major reductions in the numbers and hormonal function of Sertoli and Leydig cells, as well as a parallel reduction in the numbers of fetal germ cells. The changes were associated with growth restriction of male and female fetuses. The numerical changes in Sertoli and Leydig cells in the treated animals were matched by parallel reductions in hormone production by the two cell types. No significant differences were found, however, in the levels of either follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone levels, but plasma inhibin A concentrations were decreased significantly in the sludge-exposed animals.

T1 - Framing Scientific Analyses for Risk Management of Environmental Hazards by Communities: Case Studies with Seafood Safety Issues
AN - 14764440; 10691143
AB - Opportunities and challenges of broader community participation within the theoretical structure of the risk-management paradigm are explored. A model of the analyticdeliberative risk-management framework is presented, and three examples are provided that illustrate approaches to framing exercises, which come mainly from established connections between University of Washington, Seattle, researchers and community partners. The examples, which concern seafood safety, are used to explore a range of options for increasing community involvement in shaping the scientific approaches used in risk management. The examples demonstrate a range of possibilities in terms of the questions asked, the way they were formulated and pursued, how experts were involved, and how they were funded. They illustrate how framing helped in capacity building, how they balanced competing concerns, and how the communities benefited from the research.

T1 - In Utero Exposure to Dioxins and Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Its Relations to Thyroid Function and Growth Hormone in Newborns
AN - 14764106; 10691165
AB - In central Taiwan, 118 mothernewborn pairs from the general population were studied to explore the association between transplacental exposure to various dioxins and PCB congeners and thyroid hormone status. The mothers aged 2534 yr and had no history of smoking or of taking alcohol during pregnancy. Placenta samples were analyzed for dioxin and PCB levels, and cord serum samples were analyzed for thyroid hormones. For the upper-median exposure groups, levels of triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and thyroid-binding globulin were higher in cord blood, and the increases in thyroxine and thyroid-binding globulin levels increased with increasing dioxin levels after adjusting for maternal age and PCB exposure. In addition, free thyroxine thyroid-stimulating hormone levels decreased with increasing levels of non-ortho PCBs, which remained significant after adjusting for other dioxin and PCB congeners. Significant increases in insulin-like growth factor-binding globulin-3 were noted also in high-exposure female infants.

T1 - Systemic Effects of Arctic Pollutants in Beluga Whales Indicated by CYP1A1 Expression
AN - 14764079; 10691157
AB - The cellular location and relative levels of cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) expression were examined in multiple organs of beluga whales collected from the St. Lawrence Estuary and from two locations in the Arctic: the Beaufort Sea and western Hudson Bay. The organs sampled included adrenal gland, brain, bladder, colon, gonad, heart, kidney, liver, lung, skin, and thyroid. The observed patterns of CYP1A1 expression were consistent with a strong induction of CYP1A1, with CYP1A1 expression observed in vascular endothelial cells in multiple organs of all animals examined, including all lung and skin samples and nearly all bladder, testes, and adrenal samples. The high levels of CYP1A1 expression in all three populations were consistent with the high sensitivity of the specie to CYP1A inducers.

T1 - Health Effects of a Mixture of Indoor Air Volatile Organics, Their Ozone Oxidation Products, and Stress
AN - 14763704; 10691149
AB - Healthy, nonsmoking women with an average age of 27.2 yr were used to explore the interaction of indoor chemical pollutants and psychological stress on subjective and objective indicators of health effects while holding temperature, humidity, noise, and light constant. The study was conducted in a controlled environment facility where the subjects were exposed to VOCs at a concentration of 26 mg/m super(3), the same concentration of VOCs plus ozone at a concentration of 40 ppb, or ambient air with a 1-min spike of VOCs at a concentration of 2.5 mg/m super(3). Health and stress effects were measured before, during, and after each exposure period, which lasted 140 min. Despite significant differences in the chemical composition of the air under the three exposure conditions, no significant subjective or objective health effects from exposure to the VOC mixture with and without O sub(3) were observed. While stress did not appear to exacerbate the exposure effects, stress significantly increased symptoms of anxiety, and the effect of stress was validated by the significant difference in cortisol levels of those who received the stressor relative to subjects who did not.

T1 - Consistent Pulmonary and Systemic Responses from Inhalation of Fine Concentrated Ambient Particles: Roles of Rat Strains Used and Physicochemical Properties
AN - 14762587; 10691152
AB - Results are summarized from multiple exposure studies that utilized spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar Kyoto rats, which were designed to identify consistency in the patterns of biologic response to correlate with concentrated ambient particle (CAP) mass and composition, as well as potential susceptibility factors. Six repeat studies of 4 h/d, 1- and 2-d exposures were conducted, with one group exposed to clean air and another to CAPs using the EPA fine-mode CAP exposure system. A barometric whole-body plethysmograph system was used to obtain data on pulmonary ventilation, and blood chemistry and cytology were examined, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed to determine lung injury. Results revealed rat strain-specific and relatively consistent effects in the selected group of biologic variables, but the changes in the variables were not correlated with CAP mass. The data suggested that water-soluble metals and organic enrichment of the particles were more critical in eliciting acute health effects.

T1 - Ultrafine Particles Cross Cellular Membranes by Nonphagocytic Mechanisms in Lungs and in Cultured Cells
AN - 14762557; 10691151
AB - In vivo and in vitro experiments were performed to investigate the distribution of inhaled ultrafine particles within lungs at the individual particle level in rats and in pulmonary macrophages and red blood cells. Rats inhaled an ultrafine titanium dioxide aerosol of 22 nm count median diameter for 1 h in the in vivo experiments, and the intrapulmonary distribution of deposited particles was analyzed immediately or 24 h after the end of the exposure. Cultured porcine pulmonary macrophages and human red blood cells were exposed to fluorescent polystyrene microspheres in the in vitro experiment, and particle uptake was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results from the in vivo experiments revealed that 1 h after aerosol inhalation, 24% of ultrafine TiO sub(2) particles were located within and beyond the epithelial barrier, and some particle translocation into the microvasculature was observed. Particles found within cells were not membrane-bound, indicating a nonendocytic uptake. The data showed that 80% of the retained TiO sub(2) particles were still on the luminal side of the epithelium even 24 h after inhalation. Microscopic analyses of phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells incubated with different particle types in the in vitro experiment showed that macrophages took up fine and ultrafine polystyrene microspheres, and ultrafine polystyrene and gold particles also entered the red blood cells and were not membrane-bound.

T1 - Proximity to Pollution Sources and Risk of Amphibian Limb Malformation
AN - 14762527; 10691142
AB - Results are presented from a cross-sectional study of the risk factors for deformities in a large systematic sample of amphibians. During summer 2002, specimens of two species of hylids and four of ranids were collected from 42 wetlands in the Lake Champlain Basin of Vermont, which were selected along an urbanization gradient ranging from relatively undisturbed forest habitat to rural communities, to neighborhoods in Burlington. For each wetland, on-side field observations were used to determine whether agriculture or lawns were located proximate to the wetland, and water samples were analyzed for pH, conductivity, DO, temperature, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, as well as for parasitic infection in snails. Overall, 1.6% of the specimens showed evidence of non-traumatic limb malformation, and the site-specific rate of malformation ranged 010.2%. Statistical analysis revealed that the risk of malformation increased with increasing Gosner stage and, especially, with proximity to agriculture.

T1 - Tubular and Glomerular Kidney Effects in Swedish Women with Low Environmental Cadmium Exposure
AN - 14762481; 10691162
AB - In a cohort of Sweden women aged 5059 yr who lived in Lund, the association between cadmium concentrations in blood and urine and a series of markers of tubular and glomerular function was investigated. Data were collected on various co-morbidities, including diabetes and hypertension, and morning first-voided urine and blood samples were obtained for analysis. The biomarkers included cystatin C in serum for calculating the glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance as markers of glomerular function, and human complex-forming protein, N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and calcium in urine as markers of tubular damage. Clear associations were found between Cd and human complex-forming protein and NAG, even at low levels of Cd exposure. A clear association was also found between Cd and the glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance in smokers.

T1 - Personal Care Product Use Predicts Urinary Concentrations of Some Phthalate Monoesters
AN - 14762456; 10691147
AB - Subjects who were participants in an ongoing study on phthalates and male reproductive health were used to explore whether the use of personal-care products predicted urinary levels of phthalate monoesters. The participants were interviewed to ascertain whether they had used hair gel/hair spray, lotion, aftershave, cologne, or deodorant in the 48 h prior to urine sample collection, and they were asked to record the time they last used the products within the 48-h period. Measurement of monoester metabolites in the urine samples entailed enzymatic deconjugation of the phthalates from their glucuronidated form, solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatographic separation, and tandem mass spectrometric detection. Results showed that men who used cologne and/or aftershave within the 48-h prior to urine collection had higher urinary levels of monoethyl phthalate (MEP), and a strong doseresponse relationship was discerned between the number of product types used during the period and urinary MEP levels. The use of body lotion was associated with lower levels of monobutyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, although lotion use within 3 h before urine collection was a predictor for monobutyl phthalate concentration.

T1 - Distribution of Brevetoxin (PbTx-3) in Mouse Plasma: Association with High-Density Lipoproteins
AN - 14762429; 10691141
AB - The binding of brevetoxin to plasma carrier proteins was investigated in mice, focusing on lipoproteins, and the role of plasma carrier proteins in the distribution of brevetoxins to target tissues and its elimination was explored. The brevetoxin congener, PbTx-3, was used. Results indicated that the majority of brevetoxin in blood was not immediately biologically available, binding possibly to cellular elements in blood or to the fluid matrix. Dialysis of radiolabeled PbTx-3 spiked plasma revealed that 39% of the radiolabel was retained by the plasma fractions, and <6.8% of that was accounted for by binding to albumin. Brevetoxin added to mouse plasma localized to high-density lipoprotein fractions after being purified by iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized by agarose gel electrophoresis mobility.

T1 - Biologic Monitoring to Characterize Organophosphorus Pesticide Exposure Among Children and Workers: an Analysis of Recent Studies in Washington State
AN - 14762409; 10691166
AB - Organophosphorus pesticide metabolite concentrations in five Washington State studies were analyzed statistically, focusing on the issues of study design and sampling that could make such comparisons problematic. The studies included: apple thinners exposed to pesticides when re-entering fields after applications, children of agricultural pesticide applicators, children living in the Seattle metropolitan area whose parents had no occupational exposure to pesticides, children living in an agricultural community whose parents were not involved significantly in agricultural production, and children living in households with adults employed as farmworkers. In total, the studies included 437 children and 233 adults, each of whom provided several urine samples. Results revealed relatively high levels of metabolites among applicator children compared with the other study groups. The metabolite levels were quite similar, however, between farmworker children sampled in 1999 and Seattle metropolitan area children sampled in 1998, especially in terms of dimethylthiophosphate, while the levels of dimethyl alkylphosphate were significantly higher among the Seattle children compared with those in the farmworker children. Diet appeared to be the primary contributor to organophosphorus pesticide exposure among the Seattle children, as the dimethyl alkylphosphate level for children consuming organic juice and produce was approximately five times lower than that for children on conventional diets. The results highlighted the importance of sampling timing in biomarker studies of pesticide exposure.

T1 - Genetic Factors That Might Lead to Different Responses in Individuals Exposed to Perchlorate
AN - 14762397; 10691139
AB - Perchlorate is a competitive inhibitor of the sodium iodide symporter, the thyroid cellsurface protein that is responsible for transporting iodide from the plasma to the thyroid. The compound was first detected at high concentrations in monitoring wells in California during the early 1990s, and the EPA-derived reference dose has been set at 0.0007 mg/kg/d. A review is provided of the possible genetic factors that might lead to different responses in exposed individuals. Described and discussed are the mode of action of perchlorate in humans, thyroid hormone synthesis, and relevant studies of perchlorate in humans. Possible homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations of genes are identified that are involved in thyroid iodine synthesis that cause hypothyroidism, which could be used to define a potential susceptible population to perchlorate exposure.

T1 - Induction of Proinflammatory Cytokines and C-Reactive Protein in Human Macrophage Cell Line U937 Exposed to Air Pollution Particulates
AN - 14761397; 10691148
AB - The effects induced by particulate matter derived from different sources, such as diesel exhaust particulates (DEP) and urban dust particulates (UDP), were compared with those induced by their organic extracts and the fine particles or coarse fraction, represented by their stripped particles and ultrafine particle carbon black. The effects, which were examined in the human macrophage cell line, U937, included the inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha ), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The cell line was also exposed to TCDD. Results showed that both particle types caused the induction of COX-2, TNF alpha , CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta , IL-6, and IL-8. Exposure to the particles also resulted in a significant elevation of C-reactive protein mRNA and protein levels, and accumulation of total cholesterol was increased significantly in DEP- or UDP-treated macrophages. In addition to the induction of COX-2 and TNF alpha , a dose-dependent increase of IL-8 mRNA levels was observed in cells treated with TCDD. The organic extract of DEP was significantly more effective in inducing COX-2, IL-8, and TNF alpha than native particle DEP, while the organic extract of UDP led to a similar increase compared to its native particle UDP.

T1 - Workgroup Report: Drinking-Water Nitrate and Health-Recent Findings and Research Needs
AN - 14761351; 10691159
AB - Results are summarized from a symposium conducted by the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology in August 2004 at which experts presented results from recent unpublished studies and summarized the state of knowledge on exposure and health effects of drinking-water nitrate. Discussed are the observed NO sub(3) levels in groundwater and drinking-water supplies, the risk of methemoglobinemia due to elevated levels of methemoglobin, especially in infants exposed to NO sub(3), and NO sub(3) intake and endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds of which NO sub(3) is a precursor. The health effects associated with drinking-water NO sub(3) are identified also, including cancer, adverse reproductive outcomes, and other health outcomes. Recommendations are proposed for further research in the area, utilizing experimental/human biomonitoring studies and epidemiologic studies.

T1 - Personal Exposure to Ultrafine Particles and Oxidative DNA Damage
AN - 14761342; 10691140
AB - Fifteen healthy, nonsmoking subjects in Copenhagen, Denmark, were studied for their exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) using portable instruments. Personal exposure to UFPs was measured for 18 h on weekdays, six times for each person, from March through June 2003. Mononuclear blood cells were isolated from venous blood samples in the morning after each exposure measurement day, and oxidative DNA damage was assessed. Results showed that oxidative DNA base damage in circulating mononuclear blood cells was associated with personal exposure to UFPs, and short-term higher-intensity exposure in traffic was associated with elevated levels of damage. Cumulated outdoor and indoor exposures contributed independently to the association, which exhibited clear doseresponse relationships. Significant associations were also found between personal exposure to black smoke and oxidation of plasma proteins, and a similar association between the mass of the filter material and lipid peroxidation in plasma was found, although it was significant only among women. Personal exposure to UFPs when bicycling in traffic was related inversely to temperature and wind speed.

T1 - Do Organohalogen Contaminants Contribute to Histopathology in Liver from East Greenland Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus)?
AN - 14761318; 10691153
AB - Liver tissues were obtained from polar bears Ursus maritimus in East Greenland, and histology was examined and compared with individual organohalogen contaminant adipose tissue levels. Portal mononuclear cell infiltrations were found in 18% of the animals, and multifocally mononuclear cell infiltrations were found in 12% of the bears, while lipid granulomas were observed in 76%. All animals showed hepatocytic microvesicular lipid accumulation, and 84% showed sharply demarcated macrovesicular lipid vacuoles in mainly periacinary hepatocytes. Mild bile duct proliferation accompanied by portal fibrosis were found in only 8% of the animals. For females, a significant relationship was found between the sum of hexachlorocyclohexane concentrations and hepatocytic macrovesicular lipids, and for adult males, a significant relationship was found between hexachlorobenzene concentrations and lipid granulomas.

T1 - Decline of Ambient Air Pollution Levels and Improved Respiratory Health in Swiss Children
AN - 14760973; 10691163
AB - Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based health assessments were conducted between 1992 and 2001 of schoolchildren in ten Swiss communities covering abroad range of urbanization, air-pollution levels, and climatic conditions. The questionnaire considered core questions on asthma and allergies, as well as general health status, family history of disease, activities, and indoor and outdoor exposures. Each child was assigned an estimate of regional PM sub(10) for the year preceding the questionnaire date, and the association between changing air-pollution levels and changes in respiratory health was explored statistically. Results showed that decreasing levels of PM sub(10) were associated with declining prevalence rates of respiratory symptoms and diseases associated with air pollution. The beneficial effects were observed for relatively small changes in rather moderate air-pollution levels, but a larger reduction was noted in symptom rates in areas with a stronger decrease in PM sub(10) levels.

T1 - PM Source Apportionment for Short-Term Cardiac Function Changes in ApoE super(-)/ super(-) Mice
AN - 14760950; 10691154
AB - Heart rate and heart rate variability data obtained during a five-month study that involved exposure of normal mice and a murine model for atherosclerotic disease (ApoE super(-)/ super(-)) to particulate matter (PM) for 6 h/d, 5 d/week in Tuxedo, NY, were used to examine the effects of source-related PM sub(2.5). The animals were exposed to concentrated ambient particles, which were characterized in terms of secondary sulfate, resuspended soil, residual oil combustion, and other components. Results showed that the resuspended soil component was associated strongly with a transient decrease in heart rate during exposure, while the secondary sulfate component was associated strongly with a transient heart rate decrease in the afternoon after the day's exposure. The residual oil combustion component was related strongly to an increase in heart rate variability in the afternoon of the day's exposure, and the secondary sulfate and resuspended dust components were associated strongly with heart rate variability in the nighttime period.

T1 - Thyroid-Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals: Evidence for Dose-Dependent Additivity or Synergism
AN - 14760926; 10691150
AB - Young female LongEvans rats were exposed via gavage to 18 different polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, which included dioxins, dibenzofurans, and PCBs, for four consecutive days, and serum total thyroxine concentrations were measured in samples collected 24 h after the last exposure. The data were examined using a flexible single-chemical-required (FSCR) method of analysis, which assumed that the effects of the mixture would be predicted by the constraint of Berenbaum's definition of additivity. No visible signs of toxicity were observed after the short-term exposures. Results showed that the single-chemical and mixture data were modeled successfully using the FSCR model. A very wide range of effective doses of the chemicals was found to decrease thyroid hormone concentrations. The additivity model underestimated the actual toxic effect of the mixture at the three highest doses tested, but the effects of the three lower doses of the mixture were not significantly different than those predicted by the additivity model. Overall, exposure to the mixture resulted in dose-dependent greater-than-additive effects on thyroxine concentrations at the highest mixture doses.

T1 - A Rapid, Physiologic Protocol for Testing Transcriptional Effects of Thyroid-Disrupting Agents in Premetamorphic Xenopus Tadpoles
AN - 14760085; 10691156
AB - The development of a method for following and quantifying the transcriptional action of triiodothyronine in Xenopus laevis tadpoles is detailed. Transgenesis with thyroid hormone-responsive elements coupled to either luciferase or green fluorescent protein were utilized to follow triiodothyronine-dependent transcription in vivo. To shorten the response time, a short, weak pulse of triiodothyronine was applied that induced thyroid hormone receptors, which facilitated and synchronized the transcriptional responses. As illustration, results are presented from an application of the protocol to acetochlor-exposed tadpoles.

T1 - Restoration of a forest ecosystem: The effects of vegetation and dispersal capabilities on the reassembly of plant-dwelling arthropods
AN - 17408902; 6524495
AB - Restoration of degraded forest ecosystems is critical to conservation, but it is unknown if all components can be successfully restored. Despite the obvious dependence of plant-dwelling arthropods on plants, there are few empirical tests to show if restoring the plants also restores the plant-dwelling arthropods, or if other factors inhibit recolonisation. This paper tests the congruence in reassembly trajectory between these two groups and the role of dispersal capabilities on arthropod recolonisation, using Hemiptera. Plants and arthropods were sampled along a chronosequence of individual mine pits representing increasing ages since restoration works, and surrounding unmined forest. Changes in the richness, composition and structural complexity of the vegetation are described. These data are compared to Hemiptera sampled by beating and vacuuming over 18 months. Following the initial establishment of vegetation, the richness of plant species remains at a plateau as pits age, and below that found in unmined forest. In contrast, some structural attributes of the vegetation in pits become more similar to the forest with time. As pits age, dead vegetation below 20cm thickens and living midstorey vegetation thins. Plant species composition changes with time but is not tracking directly toward unmined forest. The abundance and richness of hemipteran species remain constant as pits age (~74.5 species), at a similar value to that in the forest. Recolonisation by Hemiptera that are brachypterous (with permanently reduced wings) is markedly slower than for winged taxa. That said, the compositions of plant and hemipteran species follow a similar trajectory after mining (i.e., there is high congruence between the two taxa). Hemipteran species composition in the oldest pits sampled (9-year-old) is not tracking directly toward that found in unmined forest. We conclude that for plant-dwelling arthropods, the early stages of reassembly are characterised by a high abundance of a generalist species and the slow recolonisation by specialist taxa and fauna with limited dispersal abilities (e.g., brachypters). Thereafter, return to a composition similar to that prior to the disturbance depends upon the progress of vegetation reassembly. To obtain plant-dwelling arthropod assemblages characteristic of unmined forest, restoration must reinstate the plant species and structural complexity of the vegetation found in the forest (particularly long-lived species and ground covers).

T1 - Violence in health care: the contribution of the Australian Patient Safety Foundation to incident monitoring and analysis.
AN - 68656418; 16201951
AB - Because of growing concern about violence in health care in Australia, we reviewed the relevant data on incidents involving violence collected using the Australian Incident Monitoring System (AIMS). Among 42 338 incidents reported from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2002, 3621 (9% of all incidents) involved patients and physical violence or violent verbal exchange; staff injury was reported in 5% of cases. The proportion was higher in emergency departments (16%, with frequent involvement of mental health problems or alcohol or drug intoxication) and mental health units (28%). Contributing factors include changes in our society and in mental health service provision. With the closure of public psychiatric hospitals in the past decade, more patients with mental illness are seeking care in public hospital emergency departments. AIMS analysis highlights the importance of understanding the contributing and precipitating factors in violent incidents, and supports a variety of preventive initiatives, including de-escalation training for staff; violence management plans; improved building design to protect staff and patients; and fast-tracking of patients with mental health problems as well as improved waiting times in public hospital emergency services. We recommend that a national system be developed to share and compare incident monitoring data, to monitor trends, and to facilitate learning and thinking at all levels - ward, department, hospital, state and national.

T1 - Using quantitative indicators to evaluate results from variable-density groundwater flow models
AN - 755128840; 13415437
AB - Variable-density transport models are typically tested by comparing model output with the results of three standard test cases: (1) the HYDROCOIN Level 1, Case 5 "salt dome" problem--Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD 1988), (2) the Henry (1964) approximate analytic solution for steady-state saltwater intrusion and (3) the Elder (1967) problem for complex natural convection where fluid flow is driven purely by fluid-density differences. The complex flow phenomena that result in many variable-density flow problems often means that the intercode testing (and the evaluation of results from variable-density flow models more generally) is largely limited to a visual inspection of isochlor distributions. Visual inspection can often be quite subjective, prone to errors and may not allow easy detection of discrepancies, especially when they are small. Moreover, a match of certain isochlors at a number of prescribed time intervals does not necessarily enure the model is adequately tested. Recently, the well-studied Elder problem has been the subject of significant discussion in the research literature. Authors such as Diersch and Kolditz (2002) have shown that the solutions obtained to the Elder problem are dependent upon the level of grid discretization used. Simpson and Clement (2003) stated that the results of the Elder problem can only be matched in a qualitative sense because the problem is highly sensitive to discretization. In this paper, a number of quantitative indicators are developed that can be used for a more rigorous quantitative evaluation of results of variable-density flow models. They may also find application in future model benchmarking practice.Original Abstract: Utilisation d'indicateurs quantitatifs pour l'evaluation de modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable de l'eau souterraine. On evalue generalement les modeles de transport a densite variable en comparant les resultats obtenus grace a ces modeles aux resultats de trois essais standards: (1) le probleme 'dome de sel' HYDROCOIN, niveau 1, cas 5--Organisation de cooperation et de developpement economiques (OCDE 1988), (2) la solution analytique approximative de Henry (1964) pour l'intrusion d'eau salee en regime permanent, et (3) le probleme de Elder (1976) pour la convection naturelle complexe, ou l'ecoulement du fluide est engendre par les seules differences de densite. Les phenomenes complexes d'ecoulement qui resultent de plusieurs problemes d'ecoulement a densite variable signifient souvent que la comparaison entre codes (et l'evaluation des resultats des modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable en general) est largement limitee a l'inspection visuelle des isocontours. L'inspection visuelle peut souvent etre assez subjective, elle peut comporter des erreurs, et il peut etre difficile, par ce moyen, de detecter des differences, surtout lorsqu'elles sont faibles. De plus, la verification des isocontours pour un nombre determine d'intervalles de temps ne garantit pas que le modele ait ete mis a l'epreuve de facon satisfaisante. Recemment, le modele elabore de Elder a ete l'objet de plusieurs discussions significatives dans la litterature de la recherche. Des auteurs comme Diersch and Kolditz (2002) ont demontre que les solutions obtenues pour le probleme d'Elder dependaient du niveau de discretisation du maillage utilise. Simpson et Clement (2003) ont affirme que les resultats du probleme d'Elder pouvaient seulement etre compares d'une maniere qualitative, puisque la discretisation influe de maniere marquee sur le probleme. Dans cet article, une serie d'indicateurs quantitatifs sont mis sur pied pour permettre une utilisation plus rigoureuse de l'evaluation quantitative des resultats de modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable. Ces indicateurs pourraient egalement trouver leur utilite dans la pratique de la calibration des modeles.Utilizacion de indicadores cuantitativos para evaluar los resultados de modelos de flujo de aguas subterraneas de densidad variable.

T1 - A molecular functional study on the interactions of drugs with plasma proteins.
AN - 68772272; 16272748
AB - The binding of drugs to plasma proteins, such as albumin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a major determinant in the disposition of drugs. A topology analysis of drug binding sites on HSA and AGP was determined using various methods, including spectroscopy, QSAR, photoaffinity labeling and site directed mutagenesis. Recombinant albumin was found to be useful for rapidly identifying drug binding sites. The binding sites on AGP are not completely separated but are partially overlapped, and Trp, Tyr, Lys and His residues in the drug binding pockets play important roles in this process. Drug displacement is somewhat complex, due to the involvement of multiple effects. The reduced binding in uremic patients may be explained by a mechanism that involves a combination of direct displacement by free fatty acids as well as cascade effects of free fatty acids and unbound uremic toxins for significant inhibition in serum binding. Albumin-containing dialysate is useful for the extracorporeal removal of endogenous toxins and in the treatment of drug overdoses. Oxidized albumin is a useful biomarker for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of oxidative stress. Interestingly, AGP undergoes a structural transition to a unique structure that differs from the native and denatured states, when it interacts with membranes.

T1 - Effects of long-chain hydrocarbon-polluted sediment on freshwater macroinvertebrates.
AN - 68759206; 16268151
AB - High-molecular weight (> C16) hydrocarbons (HMWHs) are common pollutants in sediments of freshwater systems, particularly urban water bodies. No sediment quality guidelines exist for total hydrocarbons; more emphasis is placed on polyaromatic hydrocarbons, the most toxic component of hydrocarbons. A field-based microcosm experiment was conducted to determine whether unpolluted sediments spiked with synthetic motor oil impair freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentrations of 860 mg/kg dry weight significantly increased the abundance of Polypedilum vespertinus and Cricotopus albitarsis and decreased the abundance of Paratanytarsus grimmii adults (all Chironomidae), whereas TPH concentrations ranging from 1,858 to 14,266 mg/kg produced a significant reduction in the total numbers of taxa and abundance, with significant declines in the abundance of nine chironomid taxa. About 28% of water bodies surveyed in urban Melbourne, Australia, had TPH concentrations in sediments likely to cause ecological impairment, and about 14% of the water bodies surveyed are likely to have reduced species richness and abundance. Therefore, HMWHs can be a significant pollutant in urban water bodies. Freshwater sediment quality guidelines should be developed for this ubiquitous urban pollutant.

T1 - An 80 Per Cent Employment Rate
AN - 57162609; 200606433
AB - The government wants to raise the UK employment rate to 80 per cent, which could make a real difference to the level of poverty in this country. The objective is ambitious but achievable, providing the government plans to achieve it over the long term, investing in high quality support for those who need it most. But, warns Richard Exell, any attempt to rush things, or to put unfair pressure on disabled people & other disadvantaged claimants, would put the whole enterprise in a different light -- & probably doom it to failure. 2 Tables.

T1 - Vernacular futures: colonial philology and the idea of history in nineteenth-century south India
AN - 38216457; 3001049
AB - The article explores how a new concept of historical time entered discourses on language in nineteenth-century south India. Particularly, I look at the work of C.P. Brown, a prominent scholar of Telugu in the nineteenth century, who through his philological intervention - his Telugu grammar, dictionary and definitive editions of Telugu literary classics - worked arduously to preserve the language. I argue that because colonial philology saw language as having a progressive history, i.e., the unfolding of language in progressive stages towards constant improvement, it instigated a profound intervention in language practices and thought, foreshadowing the great debates at the turn of the twentieth century on 'modernising' languages.

T1 - Tetrachloroethylene (PCE, Perc) Levels in Residential Dry Cleaner Buildings in Diverse Communities in New York City
AN - 21352794; 7676037
AB - Fugitive tetrachloroethylene (PCE, perc) emissions from dry cleaners operating in apartment buildings can contaminate residential indoor air. In 1997, New York State and New York City adopted regulations to reduce and contain perc emissions from dry cleaners located in residential and other buildings. As part of a New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) study, indoor air perc levels were determined in 65 apartments located in 24 buildings in New York City where dry cleaners used perc on site. Sampling occurred during 2001-2003, and sampled buildings were dispersed across minority and nonminority as well as low-income and higher income neighborhoods. For the entire study area, the mean apartment perc level was 34 mu g/m super(3), 10-fold lower than mean apartment levels of 340-360 mu g/m super(3) documented before 1997. The maximum detected perc level was 5,000 mu g/m super(3), 5-fold lower than the maximum of 25,000 mu g/m super(3) documented before 1997. Despite these accomplishments, perc levels in 17 sampled apartments still exceeded the NYSDOH residential air guideline of 100 mu g/m super(3), and perc levels in 4 sampled apartments exceeded 1,000 mu g/m super(3). Moreover, mean indoor air perc levels in minority neighborhoods (75 mu g/m super(3)) were four times higher than in nonminority households (19 mu g/m super(3)) and were > 10 times higher in low-income neighborhoods (256 mu g/m super(3)) than in higher income neighborhoods (23 mu g/m super(3)). Logistic regression suitable for clustered data (apartments within buildings) indicated that perc levels on floors 1-4 were significantly more likely to exceed 100 mu g/m super(3) in buildings located in minority neighborhoods (odds ratio = 6.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-30.5) than in nonminority neighborhoods. Factors that may be contributing to the elevated perc levels detected, especially in minority and low-income neighborhoods, are being explored.

T1 - Role of unburnt carbon in adsorption of dyes on fly ash
AN - 20252918; 8890356
AB - Various fly ash samples with different unburnt carbon contents were collected, characterised and tested for adsorption of basic dyes, Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet, in aqueous solution. It was found that unburnt carbon plays a major role in dye adsorption. The mineral matter of fly ash has little adsorption capacity and most of the adsorption capacity of fly ash can be attributed to the unburnt carbon. The fly ash with higher unburnt carbon content will have higher adsorption capacity. For the carbon-free fly ash, adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet are only 2 X 10-6 mol g-1 and 1.0 X 10-6 mol g-1, respectively, while the adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet on carbon-enriched fly ash are 1.2 X 10-4 mol g-1 and 1.0 X 10-4 mol g-1, respectively. A two-site Langmuir adsorption model best describes the adsorption isotherm.

T1 - Review Article: Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas: A radiological-pathological review. Part 1: Stomach, oesophagus and colon
AN - 19951428; 6461545
AB - Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are most common in the stomach, followed by small intestine and then colon. The most frequently used pathology classification of lymphomas is the Revised European and American Lymphoma -World Health Organization classification. The correlation of radiological morphology with histology is relatively poor, although characteristic subtypes will be discussed. In the stomach, the majority of primary lymphomas are of B-cell origin of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. Low-grade MALT lymphomas are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and often respond to eradication of this organism. Radiological features include thickened folds, nodularity, depressed lesions, ulcers, prominent areae gastricae. High-grade (large B-cell) tumour patterns include infiltrative, polypoid, nodular, ulcerated or a combination. Endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and CT are important in diagnosis and staging, although appearances on barium studies should be recognized. Primary colonic lymphomas are rare. Most are of B-cell origin. Focal and diffuse forms are seen, the former producing polypoid or nodular or cavitating masses and the latter producing ulcerative or nodular (polyposis) patterns on imaging. Even when circumferential, lymphoma rarely causes obstruction. Small bowel lymphomas will be discussed in the forthcoming part 2 of this review.

T1 - Effect of soil application of different formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae on African tephritid fruit flies and their associated endoparasitoids
AN - 19836403; 6684757
AB - The persistence and infectivity of aqueous, oil/aqueous (50:50) and granular formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae were evaluated against pupariating larvae of three species of fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata, C. fasciventris, and C. cosyra) and their associated endoparasitoids (Psyttalia concolor and P. cosyrae) in field cage experiments. Compared with the untreated control, all formulations of the fungus and the chemical insecticide, diazinon, significantly reduce emergence of fruit flies from treated soil. Exposure of pupariating larvae to treated soil samples collected from the field at 183 and 366 days after treatment showed that the three formulations were more effective than diazinon in reducing adult emergence. By 668 days after soil inoculation, the granular formulation was, however, more effective than the aqueous and oil/aqueous formulations of conidia achieving 37, 42, 54% reduction in emergence in C. capitata, C. fasciventris, and C. cosyra, respectively. Enumeration of conidial densities from soil samples on agar plates showed initial density ranging from 1.9 to 3.0 x 10 super(5) colony forming units (cfu)/g of dry weight of soil. The density was relatively stable for a period of 183 days after treatment and thereafter, substantial decreases in density over time were recorded in the aqueous and oil/aqueous formulations. Compared with the other formulations, high levels of conidia (4.9-9.5 x 10 super(4) cfu g super(-1)) could still be recovered from the soil treated with the granular formulation between 448 and 668 days after treatment. A high number of parasitoids enclosed from fungus treated cages in which parasitized larvae were released indicating that the fungus posed no adverse effect on the non-target natural enemies tested. In diazinon treatments, no parasitoid emerged from treated soil samples collected immediately after inoculation. However, at 183 days post-inoculation there was no effect of the insecticide on parasitoid emergence. The use of fungal pathogens could therefore be an important IPM component for the management of fruit fly species in African orchards.

T1 - Remote sensing of landslides: An analysis of the potential contribution to geo-spatial systems for hazard assessment in mountainous environments
AN - 19729416; 7503598
AB - Natural hazards like landslides, avalanches, floods and debris flows can result in enormous property damage and human casualties in mountainous regions. Switzerland has always been exposed to a wide variety of natural hazards mostly located in its alpine valleys. Recent natural disasters comprising avalanches, floods, debris flows and slope instabilities led to substantial loss of life and damage to property, infrastructure, cultural heritage and environment. In order to offer a solid technical infrastructure, a new concept and expert-tool based on an integrated web-based database/GIS structure is being developed under HazNETH. Given the HazNETH database design contemplates the detection and mapping of diagnostic features from remote sensors (e.g., ground, air and space borne) this paper analyses the use of remote sensing data in landslides studies during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, including a discussion of its potential and research challenges as result of new operational and forthcoming technologies such as the very high spatial resolution optical and infrared imagery of Ikonos, Quickbird, IRS CartoSat-1, ALOS, the satellite based interferometric SAR (InSAR and DInSAR of Radarsat, ERS, Envisat, TerraSAR-X, Cosmo/SkyMed, ALOS), micro-satellites like the Pleiades, DMC, RapidEye, airborne LASER altimetry or ground-based differential interferometric SAR. The use of remote sensing data, whether air-, satellite- or ground-based varies according to three main stages of a landslide related study, namely a) detection and identification; b) monitoring; c) spatial analysis and hazard prediction. Accordingly, this paper presents and discusses previous applications of remote sensing tools as related to these three main phases, proposing a conceptual framework for the contribution of remote sensing to the design of databases for natural hazards like debris flows, and identifying areas for further research.

T1 - Effect of Activity and Age on Long Bones Using a New Densitometric Technique
AN - 17402676; 6524817
AB - Long bone structural parameters such as cross-sectional area or area moments of inertia are useful measures of long bone mechanical properties. We implemented a three-scan densitometric method to measure structural parameters in long bones of the lower leg in vivo. The validated method was applied to investigate the relationship between activity level, age, and long bone structural parameters in women. An aluminum phantom was used to estimate in vivo setup accuracy. In vivo precision was determined by same-day repeated measures on human subjects. For the activity study, women were recruited in two age groups (25-35, 60+yr) and two activity levels (recreational runners, nonrunners). Scans were taken of the middle third of the lower right leg; structural parameters for the tibia and fibula were determined at each scan line, averaged over the section, and adjusted by factors accounting for body size variations. Aluminum phantom cross-sectional area was underes-timated by 4-6%, principal moments were underestimated by <5%, and principal angles were within plus or minus 1.2 degree . In vivo precision results (lower energy, scans spanning 60 degree ) indicated coefficients of variation for cross-sectional area (A), principal moments of inertia (Imax, Imin), and polar moment of inertia (J) of 0.52, 5.87, 2.22, and 3.82%, respectively. The activity study showed mean adjusted tibial A, Imax, Imin, and J were significantly higher in runners compared with nonrunners. There was no dependence on age. A three-scan densitometric method for measuring cross-sectional structural parameters in long bones in vivo was validated; accuracy and precision measurements establishes confidence limits. From the activity study results, we postulate that higher loads associated with running lead to increased cross-sectional parameters to support axial loads, bending, and torsion in the tibia.

T1 - Transport of Methylmercury and Inorganic Mercury to the Fetus and Breast-Fed Infant
AN - 14768762; 10690589
AB - Blood samples were collected from 20 women and their infants in Sweden at the time of delivery and at approximately 4 d and 13 weeks after delivery, and concentrations of inorganic mercury and methylmercury (MeHg) were determined. Concentrations were also measured in breast milk samples collected at approximately 4 d and six and 13 weeks after delivery. The aim was to clarify the transport of MeHg and inorganic Hg during breast-feeding and infant exposure through breast milk. Maternal blood MeHg concentrations were found to increase from delivery to 13 weeks postpartum, and MeHg in maternal blood was associated with that in cord blood and in infant blood at 4 d, although the concentrations in cord and infant blood were more than twice those in maternal blood. Infant blood MeHg concentrations decreased from 4 d to 13 weeks after birth. Inorganic Hg levels in maternal blood did not increase over time, and infant blood inorganic Hg levels were similar to maternal concentrations at birth and were associated significantly with maternal blood inorganic Hg both at birth and at 4 d. The total Hg concentration in breast milk at 13 weeks correlated significantly to maternal blood inorganic Hg but not to infant blood inorganic Hg. Total Hg in breast milk at 13 weeks correlated significantly to infant blood MeHg but not to maternal blood MeHg. Total Hg in milk increased significantly with time during each feeding session at six weeks. The overall results demonstrated that infant exposure to MeHg and inorganic Hg via breast-feeding was low compared with late fetal exposure.

T1 - Second-Hand Smoke-Induced Cardiac Fibrosis Is Related to the Fas Death Receptor Apoptotic Pathway Without Mitochondria-Dependent Pathway Involvement in Rats
AN - 14768727; 10690583
AB - Male Wistar rats were exposed in whole-body chambers to second-hand cigarette smoke representing control, low, medium, and high doses, respectively, for 30 min, twice a day, 6 d/week, for one month, and cardiac levels of signaling proteins and gene expression in mitochondria-dependent and Fas death-receptor-dependent signaling pathways were examined via reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, or dot blotting. All of the animals appeared to be healthy at the end of the month exposure period, but dark spots were observed in the right ventricle of the smoke-treated rats, and the ratio of whole heart weight to body weight showed significant reduction in the high-dose group. Hearts from the smoke-treated rats stained with Masson trichrome showed extensive fibrosis and myofibril disarray and exhibited increased collagen deposition at minor and moderate levels in the low- and medium-dose groups but at a very strong level in the high-dose group. Both caspase-3 mRNA and the active protein levels of treated groups were higher than those of controls. Compared with control animals, both Fas mRNA and protein levels increased in a dose-dependent manner, and all treated groups showed significantly higher levels of active caspase-8 compared to controls.

T1 - Inorganic Arsenite Potentiates Vasoconstriction Through Calcium Sensitization in Vascular Smooth Muscle
AN - 14768592; 10690580
AB - Male SpragueDawley rats were used to investigate the mechanism of arsenic-induced vascular dysfunction and its possible contribution to cardiovascular diseases. Aortic rings from the animals were treated with As or a vehicle in minimum essential media, and the extent of myosin light chain phosphorylation was measured, as were intracellular calcium levels and blood pressure change induced by phenylephrine. Among the As species examined, arsenite was found to be the most potent, enhancing the vascular contraction induced by phenylephrine, serotonin, and high potassium ion in a concentration-dependent manner. Calcium sensitization in smooth muscle was found to contribute largely to arsenite-induced hypercontractility.

T1 - Assessing the Sensitivity of Different Life Stages for Sexual Disruption in Roach (Rutilus rutilus) Exposed to Effluents from Wastewater Treatment Works
AN - 14768564; 10690575
AB - The feminized responses in roach Rutilus rutilus exposed to two estrogenic wastewater-treatment-works effluents were investigated during life stages of potential sensitivity for intersex induction. The developmental stages encompassed the period of sexual differentiation, from fertilization through the completion of gonadogenesis and the post-spawning period in adult fish. The effluents were collected from two wastewater-treatment works in the UK with different population equivalents and treatment processes, which are described. The exposure system consisted of six tanks supplied with graded concentrations of treated effluents and diluent, with river water and dechlorinated tap water used as controls. The effluents were analyzed for concentrations of steroid estrogens, alkylphenolic chemicals, and bisphenol A. Differences in the concentrations of both steroid estrogens and alkylphenolic chemicals were found in the two effluents, but both induced a vitellogenic response in both juveniles and adults, although the responses mirrored the concentrations of steroid estrogens. Exposure of juvenile roach to high concentrations of the treated effluents from fertilization to 200 and 300 d post-hatch resulted in the feminization of the male reproductive duct. Fish exposed to the effluents during early life and then transferred to clean water at 60 d post-hatch to depurate also had disrupted ducts at the end of the study, indicating that the effect was permanent.

T1 - Cigarette Smoking and Effects on Hormone Function in Premenopausal Women
AN - 14768532; 10690572
AB - Data from the Women's Reproductive Health Study in California were used to examine cigarette smoking in relation to patterns of urinary hormone metabolites throughout the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women. A diary was used to determine the amount smoked, and the primary estradiol metabolites, estrone sulfate and estrone glucuronide, and the progesterone metabolite, pregnanediol-3-glucuronide, were measured daily by enzyme-linked immunoassays. Results revealed that moderate to heavy smokers had elevated baseline levels of the steroid metabolites, and heavy smokers had somewhat dampened progesterone metabolite levels during the luteal phase. Mean urinary follicle-stimulating hormone levels during the time of the lutealfollicular phase transition were higher among moderate to heavy smokers than among nonsmokers.

T1 - Impact of Polychlorinated Biphenyls Contamination on Estrogenic Activity in Human Male Serum
AN - 14768020; 10690571
AB - As part of a large epidemiologic study called the PCB Risk project, the effects of extensive contamination with PCBs on human serum dioxin-like, estrogenic, and antiestrogenic activities of serum extracts from subjects living in the vicinity of the Chemko Strazske chemical plant in the Michalovic district, Slovakia, have been investigated. In this study, the effects of chronic PCB exposure on antiestrogenic/estrogenic and dioxin-like activities exerted by extracts of human male sera were assessed and compared with concentrations of major persistent organic pollutants and levels of 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)) in serum. The estrogenic and antiestrogenic potencies of the PCB congeners were determined using the ER-CALUX bioassay. Results showed that PCBs 28, 52, 66, 74, 99, and 105, which were found at significant levels in the male serum samples, induced estrogen receptor-mediated activity at micromolar concentrations. However, the decrease in total estrogenic activity and E sub(2) levels observed in human serum samples of the males exposed to high PCB levels indicated that PCB mixtures elicited an overall antiestrogenic effect.

T1 - History of Inuit Community Exposure to Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury in Sewage Lake Sediments
AN - 14767249; 10690576
AB - Sediment cores were collected from two sewage lakes near Sanikiluaq on the Belcher Islands in southeastern Hudson Bay, Canada, and concentrations of lead, cadmium, and mercury were measured as indicators of Inuit community exposure. The cores were sectioned at 1- or 2-cm intervals and radiodated. Results revealed that exposure to Pb was greater than that to Cd or Hg, but over the period 197090, the average exposure of the community members to Pb, Cd, and Hg increased greater than ten-, about eight-, and about 27-fold, respectively. The atmospheric Pb and Cd inputs to the lakes stopped growing in the early 1980s and then appeared to have declined, but the average human exposure appeared to have continued growing, suggesting the presence of other sources not related to long-range atmospheric transport, which could include ingested Pb shot and inhaled cigarette smoke.

T1 - Possible Influence of delta -Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Renal Toxicity of Lead: a Study of a Vietnamese Population
AN - 14766143; 10690577
AB - Blood and urine samples were collected from 276 battery factory workers in Hai Phong City, Vietnam, and delta -aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were examined to explore whether the SNPs could modify the relationships between blood lead and selected renal parameters. Six polymorphisms located on the ALAD gene were selected for analyses. Some positive findings were found with Rsa, Rsa39488, HpyIV, and Sau3A, but the findings were not consistent. However, a newly identified ALAD polymorphism, HpyCH4 in intron 6, was able to modify the association of blood Pb concentrations with certain renal parameters, suggesting that individuals carrying the genotype could be more susceptible to Pb toxicity in the kidneys. For workers with blood Pb concentrations less than 25 mu g/dl, HpyCH4 2-2 workers had higher renal function values than HpyCH4 1-1 workers, while the opposite was found for workers with blood Pb levels greater than 25 mu g/dl.

T1 - Fundamental Flaws of Hormesis for Public Health Decisions
AN - 14766124; 10690570
AB - The concept of hormesis-low-dose stimulation, high-dose inhibition-has been used to promote the notion that low-level exposures to known toxic chemicals could be beneficial to human health. Citing examples gleaned from the literature, the concept is explored here, arguing that it does not adequately consider underlying mechanisms of action and that health decisions on exposure standards based on such beneficial effects must address all induced effects, interindividual differences in exposure and susceptibility, and other environmental and workplace exposures.

T1 - Risk of Congenital Anomalies After the Opening of Landfill Sites
AN - 14766014; 10690585
AB - Cases of statutorily notifiable congenital anomalies were obtained from the UK Office of National Statistics for 198397, and congenital anomalies data for the period 19982000 were also obtained from the newly established Wales Congenital Anomaly Register and Information Service. The data were examined in relation to new landfill sites in Wales, focusing on the distance between the maternal residence at the time of birth and the grid reference of the centroid of a site as determined by the UK Environment Agency. When summarized over all the landfills, the rates of all congenital anomalies increased significantly after sites opened until 1997, which was found for both 2- or 3-km distances as the definition of exposure. No increased risk of congenital anomalies was found for the 19982000 period, however.

T1 - Maternal Fish Consumption, Hair Mercury, and Infant Cognition in a U.S. Cohort
AN - 14765992; 10690588
AB - Subjects recruited from Project Viva, which is a prospective cohort study of gestational diet and other exposures, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health in eastern Massachusetts, were used to examine associations of maternal fish and seafood intake and maternal hair mercury levels at delivery with six-month infant cognition. The participants completed a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and infant cognitive testing was performed using the visual recognition memory paradigm, which is described. The women were found to have consumed an average of 1.2 servings per week of combined tuna, dark meat, white meat, and shellfish in the second trimester of pregnancy. Maternal hair Hg levels ranged 0.022.48 ppm, and total maternal fish intake was associated only moderately with hair Hg content. Consumption of each group of fish was also correlated with hair Hg. Maternal fish intake was associated positively with visual recognition memory score in her six-month-old infant, while Hg was associated negatively with the score. Unadjusted visual recognition memory scores appeared highest among infants of mothers with high fish intake and low Hg levels, while scores were lowest in infants of mothers with low fish intake and high Hg.

T1 - Developmental Exposure of Rats to Chlorpyrifos Elicits Sex-Selective Hyperlipidemia and Hyperinsulinemia in Adulthood
AN - 14765966; 10690573
AB - Male rats were exposed neonatally to chlorpyrifos, and effects on hyperlipidemia and hyperinsulinemia in adulthood were examined. Chlorpyrifos was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to provide consistent absorption and injected subcutaneously at a dose of 1 mg/kg once daily on postnatal days 14. Blood samples were collected for analysis at 110 d of age. No effect of chlorpyrifos exposure on growth or on body weights in adulthood was observed, but cholesterol and triglycerides displayed significant elevations that were distinctly sex-selective with a preferential effect on males. Chlorpyrifos exposure produced a metabolic pattern for plasma lipids and insulin that resembled the known major risk factors and predictors for the appearance of atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood.

T1 - Lead Contamination in Cocoa and Cocoa Products: Isotopic Evidence of Global Contamination
AN - 14765792; 10690582
AB - Cocoa bean and soil samples were collected in NovemberDecember 2002 from six farms in the three highest cocoa-producing states in Nigeria, and the concentrations and isotopic composition of lead were determined to assess the relative contribution of soil Pb. In addition, cocoa beans from other countries and finished chocolate products including processed cocoa were collected and analyzed. The Pb concentrations were derived from instrumental scan of the three major Pb isotopes and that of bismuth-209. Results showed that the Pb concentration in cocoa beans ranged less than or equal to 0.103 to 1.78 ng/g, which was relatively low, but Pb concentrations in manufactured cocoa were among the highest of all foods, with the concentrations approximately 60-fold higher than the average Pb concentration of the Nigerian cocoa beans. Analysis of the Pb isotopic ratios did not allow identification of a single source of contaminant Pb in either processed cocoa or chocolate products, but the data suggested that one of the sources could be cocoa bean shells.

T1 - Biomarker Measurements in a Coastal Fish-Eating Population Environmentally Exposed to Organochlorines
AN - 14765768; 10690578
AB - Concentrations of porphyrins and D-glucaric acid were measured in urine samples collected from subjects in two communities located on the Lower North Shore of the St. Lawrence River. Plasma lipid concentrations of PCBs and chlorinated pesticides were also measured, and dioxin-like compounds were analyzed by the dioxin-receptor chemical-activated luciferase gene expression bioassay. Individuals were selected with both high and low exposure to PCBs. While the subjects, who rely largely on a fish diet, displayed high concentrations of several persistent, lipophilic compounds that are biomagnified in aquatic food chains, no statistically significant relations were found between biomarkers of organochlorine exposure and markers of hepatic enzyme induction. A moderate correlation was found, however, between liver cytochrome P4501A2 activity and urinary coproporphyrin concentrations, and an inverse correlation was noted between liver cytochrome P4501A2 activity and plasma concentrations of the PCB congeners 105 and 118. Only smoking was found to have a significant correlation with biomarkers of hepatic enzyme induction.

T1 - Fish Consumption and Advisory Awareness in the Great Lakes Basin
AN - 14765636; 10690579
AB - Between June 2001 and June 2002, a population-based, random-digit-dial telephone survey of adults was conducted in Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, New York State, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to evaluate changes in awareness and fish consumption patterns, and the results were compared with those from a similar survey conducted in 1993. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information on demographic characteristics and sport-caught fish consumption during the preceding 12 months, as well as on fish advisory awareness. Results showed that the most popular types of Great Lakes sport-caught fish were walleye, perch, smelt, rainbow trout, chinook, coho salmon, and lake trout, but fewer than one-quarter of the respondents had eaten any sport-caught fish and only 7% had eaten fish that were caught from one of the Great Lakes. Men were more likely to have eaten sport-caught fish and Great Lakes sport-caught fish than women. Approximately half of the respondents who consumed fish from the Great Lakes were aware of the health advisory that had been issued by their respective state health department, and the awareness had not changed significantly since the 1993 survey. Most of the Great Lakes fish consumers who were aware of the advisories complied with them.

T1 - Molecular Characterization of Thyroid Toxicity: Anchoring Gene Expression Profiles to Biochemical and Pathological End Points
AN - 14764793; 10690584
AB - Adult male rats were treated with sodium iodide, phenobarbital, and propylthiouracil as model thyroid toxicants for 14 consecutive days, and biochemical, pathological, and molecular analyses were conducted to characterize the thyroid response. Results showed that liver weights were increased in a dose-dependent manner, and uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase activity was significantly higher in rats administered 100 mg/kg/d phenobarbital compared with controls, while the activity was reduced in rats receiving 100 mg/kg/d sodium iodide, and the activity of 5'-deiodinase I was reduced markedly in propylthiouracil-treated animals. Animals receiving 100 mg/kg/d phenobarbital and 10 mg/kg/d propylthiouracil had significantly reduced levels of thyroxine and triiodothyrone hormones, while levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone were elevated significantly. In addition, thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy was induced compared to controls. Significant changes were observed in gene expression patterns associated with Wnt signaling in the phenobarbital- and propylthiouracil-exposed animals.

T1 - Declining Sex Ratio in a First Nation Community
AN - 14764791; 10690574
AB - Live birth sex ratios were examined in the Aamjiwaang First Nation community in Ontario, Canada. The reserve, located within the area identified as the St. Clair River Area of Concern, is surrounded by several large petrochemical, polymer, and chemical plants. For the period 198492, the proportion of male births appeared to be relatively stable compared with the Canadian male proportion, but a declining trend was observed for the period 19932003, which was significant for the 19992003 period. The possible causes of the decline in male births are discussed, including chemical contamination and other population factors.

T1 - Chronic Beryllium Disease and Sensitization at a Beryllium Processing Facility
AN - 14764687; 10690586
AB - Workers from a beryllium production facility in eastern Pennsylvania that had operated from 1957 to 1978 were analyzed for Be disease, focusing on the chemical and physical forms for the development of Be sensitization and the development of chronic Be disease (CBD). A questionnaire was used to elicit demographic information and data on previous lung disease, smoking history, and work history at the Be facility, and the study subjects completed blood and chest radiograph screenings. Results revealed that the prevalence of CBD and sensitization to Be in the former workers was high, with 7.6, 6.9, 2.1, and 4.0% of the subjects exhibiting CBD, sensitization, possible CBD, and possible sensitization, respectively. Individuals who were sensitized had a lower total cumulative and peak exposure, lower nonsoluble cumulative and average exposure, and lower dust and mixed exposure, while individuals with CBD had a lower soluble and fume exposure.

T1 - Air Pollution Exposure Assessment for Epidemiologic Studies of Pregnant Women and Children: Lessons Learned from the Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research
AN - 14758143; 10690599
AB - The exposure assessment lessons learned in the Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research for air pollutants and health outcomes are summarized. Many of the Children's Centers have active research programs involving the assessment of air pollution in epidemiologic studies. The Centers are tabulated, including data on the sample population, the outcomes, the study design, the agents assessed, other exposure determinants, and the assessment strategy employed. The lessons learned are highlighted and discussed in terms of how they can be applied to the anticipated National Children's Study, which will encompass a cohort of 100,000 pregnant women residing in multiple locations across the US. Recommendations are provided for study subject selection to maximize spatial exposure contrasts for the pollutants of interest, exposure metrics, the use of limited substudies for exposure refinement, the use of biomarkers, and modifiers of exposureoutcome relationships.

AN - 14756309; 10690595
AB - The establishment and set up of the National Children's Study are described, which was established in 1997 as a result of a federal executive order requiring federal agencies involved in related activities to consider special environmental circumstances that could pose a health threat to children. The aim is to enroll pregnant women as early in pregnancy as possible and to enroll a subset of the cohort before conception. The same federal executive order led to the development of the Children's Centers, which are cosponsored by NIEHS and EPA and conduct both observational studies of etiology and intervention studies. Both the National Children's Study and the Children's Centers program are described, highlighting the lessons that have been learned to date that will be important in planning the National Children's Study in terms of exposure assessment, participation, ethical issues, risk communication, and funding.

T1 - Fungal Levels in the Home and Allergic Rhinits by 5 Years of Age
AN - 14755021; 10690593
AB - For a prospective birth cohort of 405 children of asthmatic/allergic parents living in metropolitan Boston, MA, indoor air and dust samples were collected when the child was two to three months of age and analyzed for levels of fungi. The health outcomes of the children were then ascertained semiannually through their first 5 yr to examine whether they developed doctor-diagnosed allergic rhinitis. Of the 405 children, 52 were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or hay fever before or at 5 yr of age. Increased risk of allergic rhinitis was associated with African-American ethnicity, being born between September and November, maternal sensitization to Alternaria, and having at least one lower respiratory tract illness in the first year of life. Penicillium was the most common fungus detected in the indoor air samples, while Aspergillus was the most commonly recovered sporulating taxon in the dust samples. High levels of dust-borne Aureobasidium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, yeasts, and nonsporulating fungi and high levels of total fungi were associated independently with the development of doctor-diagnosed allergic rhinitis by 5 yr of age.

T1 - Phthalates in Indoor Dust and Their Association with Building Characteristics
AN - 14754500; 10690592
AB - Homes in Sweden that had been part of a nested casecontrol study of 198 children with persistent allergic symptoms and 202 controls were studied in terms of the concentrations of phthalates in indoor dust and their relationships with selected building characteristics. Samples of dust were collected in 390 homes from moldings and shelves in the children's bedrooms and analyzed for diethyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and diisononyl phthalate. The focus, however, was on DEHP and BBzP. The building characteristics included: building type, building construction, building materials, type of ventilation, and mold and moisture problems. High concentrations of BBzP and DEHP in dust were associated with PVC flooring, but the association was stronger for BBzP than for DEHP. In addition, BBzP was associated with self-reported water leakage, and DEHP was associated with building construction prior to 1960.

T1 - Air Pollution and Lymphocyte Phenotype Proportions in Cord Blood
AN - 14754023; 10690591
AB - As part of a pregnancy outcome study conducted in the Czech Republic districts of Teplice and Prachatice, the associations between neonatal immunophenotypes and atmospheric levels of PM sub(2.5) and PAHs in the days immediately before birth were examined. For 1476 motherinfant pairs, maternal and cord blood samples were obtained at delivery, and fine and coarse particle concentrations, as well as PAH concentrations, were assessed from samples collected by a versatile air-pollution sampler that has been described previously. Lymphocytes in lysed whole blood were immunophenotyped using a FACSort flow cytometer. Results showed that ambient concentrations of PAHs and PM sub(2.5) during the last two weeks of gestation were associated with decreases in the percentages of T-lymphocytes in cord blood, and the associations were stronger for the percentage of CD4 super(+) cells than for the percentage of CD8 super(+) subsets. The latter association was more marked for PAHs compared with PM sub(2.5). In concert with the T-cell decreases, the percentage of B-cells increased. Temperature was also a strong predictor of all lymphocyte phenotype subsets except for B-cells.

T1 - Effect of Maternal Smoking on Breast Milk Interleukin-1 alpha , beta -Endorphin, and Leptin Concentrations
AN - 14753872; 10690594
AB - Longitudinal and cross-sectional human milk samples were collected from mothers hospitalized in regional tertiary maternity care at Padua University in Italy between June and December 2002, and the relationship between maternal smoking and levels of interleukin-1 alpha , beta -endorphin, and leptin was explored. The breast milk samples were collected during the third and tenth postpartum days. The concentrations of interleukin-1 alpha were reduced significantly in the colostrum of smoker compared with nonsmoker control mothers, but beta -endorphin and leptin colostrum concentrations were not affected. However, beta -endorphin concentrations were reduced significantly in transitional milk samples compared with colostrum of both smoker and nonsmoker mothers, which was also observed for leptin concentrations.

T1 - The Role of Earnings and Financial Risk in Distributional Analyses of Social Security Reform Measures
AN - 61684911; 200829108
AB - The Social Security Trustees project that the Social Security program faces long-term financing difficulties. Several proposals offered to shore-up the finances of the Social Security program would create individual retirement accounts funded with part of the payroll tax. The authors of many of these proposals claim that future beneficiaries will be better-off under their new system than under the current system. This study examines the consequences of differing earnings patterns and year-to-year differences in asset returns have for Social Security retired worker benefits in three Social Security reform proposals. Incorporating both actual earnings histories and variation in asset returns shows that none of the three individual account plans can always deliver benefits that are higher than payable current law benefits.

T1 - Cancer prevention with semi-allogeneic ES cell-derived dendritic cells
AN - 17390582; 6501252
AB - Dendritic cells (DC) genetically modified to present tumor-associated antigen are a promising means for anti-cancer immunotherapy. By introducing expression vectors into ES cells and subsequently inducing differentiation to DC (ES-DC), we can generate transfectant DC expressing the transgenes. In the future clinical application of this technology, the unavailability of human ES cells genetically identical to the patients will be a problem. However, in most cases, semi-allogeneic ES cells sharing some of HLA alleles with recipients are expected to be available. In the present study, we observed that model tumor antigen (OVA)-expressing mouse ES-DC transferred into semi-allogeneic mice potently primed OVA-reactive CTL and elicited a significant protection against challenge with OVA-expressing tumor. Genetic modification of ES-DC to overexpress SPI-6, the specific inhibitor of granzyme B, further enhanced their capacity to prime antigen-specific CTL in semi-allogeneic recipient mice. These results suggest the potential of ES-DC as a novel means for anti-cancer immunotherapy.

T1 - Wheezing during the first year of life in infants from low-income population: a descriptive study.
AN - 68807155; 16287544
AB - Recurrent wheezing (RW) plays an important role in the morbidity and mortality of children during the first year of life in developing regions and its actual incidence in those areas is virtually unknown.
This study describes the occurrence of wheezing during the first year of life in a birth cohort of 188 infants followed monthly and living in a poor urban area in Santiago de Chile. This study showed that 80.3 % of the infants in the cohort had one or more wheezing episode during the first year of life, 43.1 % had RW (3 or more wheezing episodes), 44.1 % had their first wheezing within the first three months of life and 13.3 % had pneumonia (PN). Having one or more episode of wheezing in the first three months of life was the main risk factor for suffering from RW during the first year and RW was a significant risk factor for having PN. This study found a high prevalence of RW in infants from a low-income population during the first year of life with the disease starting very early in their lives, progressing with more frequent episodes and being significantly associated to PN, particularly in the first 6 months of life.

T1 - 2,4-diaminopteridine-based compounds as precursors for de novo synthesis of antifolates: a novel class of antimalarials.
AN - 68522953; 16127035
AB - We have tested the hypothesis that 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxymethyl-pteridine (DAP), 2,4-diaminopteroic acid (DAPA), and 2,4 diamino-N10-methyl-pteroic acid (DAMPA) could be converted into aminopterin (from DAP and DAPA) and methotrexate (from DAMPA), both of which are potent inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase, a proven drug target for Plasmodium falciparum. DAP, DAPA, and DAMPA inhibited parasite growth in the micromolar range; DAMPA was the most active, with 50% inhibitory concentrations in vitro of 446 ng/ml against the antifolate-sensitive strain and 812 ng/ml against the highly resistant strain under physiological folate conditions. DAMPA potentiates the activity of the sulfone dapsone, an inhibitor of dihydropteroate synthase, but not that of chlorcycloguanil, a known inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Experiments with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain dependent upon the P. falciparum DHFR enzyme showed that DHFR is a target of DAMPA in that system. We hypothesize that DAMPA is converted to methotrexate by the parasite dihydrofolate synthase, which explains the synergy of DAMPA with dapsone but not with chlorcycloguanil. This de novo synthesis will not occur in the host, since it lacks the complete folate pathway. If this hypothesis holds true, the de novo synthesis of the toxic compounds could be used as a framework for the search for novel potent antimalarial antifolates.

T1 - A comparative study of dye removal using fly ash treated by different methods.
AN - 68430066; 16054909
AB - The effect of different methods for fly ash treatment using conventional chemical, sonochemical and microwave method on dye adsorption in aqueous solution was investigated. Three basic dyes, methylene blue, crystal violet and rhodamine B, are employed for adsorption testing. It is found that fly ash shows different adsorption capacity depending on type of dyes. Chemical treatment using HCl will increase the adsorption capacity. The adsorption capacity of HCl treated fly ash varies with the preparation conditions. Microwave treatment is a fast and efficient method while producing the sample with the highest adsorption capacity. Solution pH and inorganic salts in dye solution can significantly influence the adsorption. The adsorption data have been analysed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson isotherms. The results indicate that the Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson models provide the better correlations with the experimental data.

T1 - Effect of gemcitabine on immune cells in subjects with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
AN - 68002015; 15782312
AB - Effects of gemcitabine (Gemzar) on immune cells were examined in pancreas cancer patients to determine whether it was immunosuppressive, or potentially could be combined with vaccines or other immunotherapy to enhance patient's responses to their tumors. Blood was obtained at five time-points, before therapy, 3-4 days after initial gemcitabine infusion and immediately preceding three additional weekly infusions. Effects on T-cell subsets, B-cells, myeloid dendritic cell precursors, antigen presenting cells (APC), activated/memory, and naive cells were examined. Functional activity was measured by intracellular staining for cytokines before and after T-cell activation, and by interferon gamma production in EliSpot responses to tumor presentation. Although absolute lymphocyte counts decreased with the initial treatment with gemcitabine infusion, the counts stabilized during subsequent treatments, then returned within normal ranges seven days after the fourth treatment so that the absolute lymphocyte count no longer differed significantly from that prior to treatment. These effects on absolute lymphocyte counts were mirrored by statistically significant decreases in absolute numbers of CD3 and CD20 lymphocytes during these time periods. The proportions of T and B-cells, however did not change significantly with therapy, although significance changes were observed in some specialized subsets. A decrease in the proportions of the major BDCA-1+, CD1b myeloid dendritic cell subset and a reciprocal increase in the minor BDCA-3+ dendritic cell subsets resulted at 3-4 days, then their levels returned to normal. No significant changes in percentages of CD86 and CD80 APCs or CD4+, CD25+ T-cells were documented. Increased percentages of CD3+, CD45RO+ memory lymphocytes reached significance at day 7, then declined to statistically significant decrease at days 14 and 21 after the second and third infusions, respectively. Immune T-cells were functional in pancreas cancer patients treated with gemcitabine. The data suggest that gemcitabine therapy may decrease memory T-cells and promote naive T-cell activation. We conclude that gemcitabine therapy (1) is not immunosuppressive and (2) may enhance responses to specific vaccines or immunotherapy administered to activate or support immune responses directed toward driving effector immunity to cancer cells.

T1 - U.S.-Cuba relations direction of policy--1960s to present
AN - 59991232; 2005-1101870
AB - In the early 1960s, U.S-Cuba relations deteriorated sharply when Fidel Castro began to build a repressive communist dictatorship and moved his country toward close relations with the Soviet Union. The often tense and hostile nature of the U.S.-Cuban relationship is illustrated by such events and actions as: U.S. covert operations to overthrow the Castro government, culminating in the ill-fated April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion; the October 1962 missile crisis, in which the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its attempt to place offensive nuclear missiles in Cuba; Cuban support for guerrilla insurgencies and military support for revolutionary governments in Africa and the Western Hemisphere; the 1980 exodus of around 125,000 Cubans to the United States in the so-called Mariel boatlift; the 1994 exodus of more than 30,000 Cubans who were interdicted and housed at U.S. facilities in Guantanamo and Panama; and the February 1996 shoot-down by Cuban fighter jets of two U.S. civilian planes operated by the Cuban American group Brothers to the Rescue, which resulted in the death of four U.S. crew members.

T1 - Judicial Review of the War Power
AN - 59685807; 200601463
AB - From the Vietnam War to the present, there has been a growing impression that federal courts lack both the jurisdiction & the competence to decide war power disputes. Such a cramped view finds no support in the first century & a half, when courts regularly accepted & decided such cases. It was only with Vietnam that courts began to avoid the merits of war power cases by invoking a variety of threshold tests. Following 9/11, the broad & expansive justifications of unilateral presidential powers by the Bush administration forced federal courts to revisit & reassert their constitutional responsibilities. 32 References.

T1 - The Law: Scholarly Support for Presidential Wars
AN - 59678380; 200600395
AB - For the past half-century, political scientists & historians have given much intellectual support to the growth of presidential power. They have imbued the presidency with magical qualities of expertise & good intentions, motivated by the "national interest" rather than the local & parochial ambitions that supposedly drive members of Congress. In this decision to concentrate power in the president, scholars gave short shrift to legal boundaries & constitutional principles, including checks & balances & separation of powers. Supported by the academic community, presidents now regularly claim that the Constitution allows them to wage war against other countries without receiving either a declaration or authorization from Congress. 62 References.

T1 - Management strategy evaluation and indicators for ecosystem-based fisheries management
AN - 20763216; 7958703
AB - Large numbers of indicators have been proposed for describing that state of marine ecosystems and detecting the impacts of human activities (such as fisheries) on such systems. Recently simulation testing and empirical (field-data based) applications have shown that there is a short list of indicators that could be used as the seed for ecosystem-based management. The list includes such things as relative biomass (or biomass ratios) of key groups, proportional habitat cover, simple diversity indices, size and trophic spectra, maximum (or mean) length of the catch (across species), size at maturity of key species types and physical system characteristics that define the system context. While this list is a mix of single value and two-dimensional indicators all are simple indices that require little processing post-collection and all consistently provide strong signals regarding system state and dynamics. Moreover, they are relatively easy to calculate, interpret, and generalise (across systems and through time); and are robust to noise, data gaps and assumptions. These features mean that it is feasible to imagine a system of robust ecosystem-based fisheries management that included indicators as a key advisory component. Key aspects of such a management scheme will also be discussed here.

T1 - Genetic Determinants of Volatile-Thiol Release by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during Wine Fermentation
AN - 19931346; 6520522
AB - Volatile thiols, particularly 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP), make an important contribution to the aroma of wine. During wine fermentation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae mediates the cleavage of a nonvolatile cysteinylated precursor in grape juice (Cys-4MMP) to release the volatile thiol 4MMP. Carbon-sulfur lyases are anticipated to be involved in this reaction. To establish the mechanism of 4MMP release and to develop strains that modulate its release, the effect of deleting genes encoding putative yeast carbon-sulfur lyases on the cleavage of Cys-4MMP was tested. The results led to the identification of four genes that influence the release of the volatile thiol 4MMP in a laboratory strain, indicating that the mechanism of release involves multiple genes. Deletion of the same genes from a homozygous derivative of the commercial wine yeast VL3 confirmed the importance of these genes in affecting 4MMP release. A strain deleted in a putative carbon-sulfur lyase gene, YAL012W, produced a second sulfur compound at significantly higher concentrations than those produced by the wild-type strain. Using mass spectrometry, this compound was identified as 2-methyltetrathiophen-3-one (MTHT), which was previously shown to contribute to wine aroma but was of unknown biosynthetic origin. The formation of MTHT in YAL012W deletion strains indicates a yeast biosynthetic origin of MTHT. The results demonstrate that the mechanism of synthesis of yeast-derived wine aroma components, even those present in small concentrations, can be investigated using genetic screens.

T1 - In vitro bioactivity of MOEP grafted ePTFE membranes for craniofacial applications
AN - 17364531; 6445029
AB - The bioactivity of three methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate (MOEP) grafted expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes with varying surface coverage as well as unmodified ePTFE was investigated through a series of in vitro tests: calcium phosphate (CaP) growth in simulated body fluid (SBF), serum protein adsorption, and a morphology and attachment study of human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. The graft copolymers were prepared by means of gamma irradiation induced grafting and displayed various surface morphologies and wettabilities depending on the grafting conditions used. Unmodified ePTFE did not induce nucleation of CaP minerals, whereas all the grafted membranes revealed the growth of CaP minerals after 7 days immersion in SBF. The sample with lowest surface grafting yield (24% coverage), a smooth graft morphology and relatively high hydrophobicity (, theta sub(adv)=120, theta sub(rec)=80, ) showed carbonated hydroxyapatite growth covering the surface. On the other hand, the samples with high surface grafting yield (76% and 100%), a globular graft morphology and hydrophilic surfaces (, theta sub(adv)=60, and 80, theta sub(rec)=25, and 15, respectively) exhibited irregular growth of non-apatitic CaP minerals. Irreversibly adsorbed protein measured after a 1 h immersion in serum solution was quantified by the amount of nitrogen on the surface using XPS, as well as by weight increase. All grafted membranes adsorbed 3-6 times more protein than the unmodified membrane. The sample with the highest surface coverage adsorbed the most protein. Osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells cultured for 3 h revealed significantly higher levels of cell attachment on all grafted membranes compared to unmodified ePTFE. Although the morphology of the cells was heterogeneous, in general, the higher grafted surfaces showed a much better cell morphology than both the low surface-grafted and the control unmodified sample. The suite of in vitro tests confirms that a judicious choice of grafted monomer such as the phosphate-containing methacrylate monomer (MOEP) significantly improves the bioactivity of ePTFE in vitro.

T1 - Life expectancy change in perturbed communities: Derivation and qualitative analysis
AN - 17056340; 6689524
AB - Pollution, loss of habitat, and climate change are introducing dramatic perturbations to natural communities and affecting public health. Populations in perturbed communities can change dynamically, in both abundance and age structure. While analysis of the community matrix can predict changes in population abundance arising from a sustained or press perturbation, perturbations also have the potential to modify life expectancy, which adds yet another means to falsify experimental hypotheses and to monitor management interventions in natural systems. In some instances, an input to a community will produce no change in the abundance of a population but create a major shift in its mean age. We present an analysis of change in both abundance and life expectancy, leading to a formal quantitative assessment as well as qualitative predictions, and illustrate the usefulness of the technique through general examples relating to vector-borne disease and fisheries.

T1 - Interannual variability in fish biomarkers in a contaminated temperate urban estuary
AN - 16200330; 6396952
AB - During the past decade the Swan-Canning estuary, Western Australia, has shown signs of stress which has been attributed to high nutrient inputs. There is little information on the effect of nonnutrient contaminants on biota inhabiting the estuary. A suite of biomarkers was measured on black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) to determine whether annual variations in fish biomarkers exist in the wet (winter) and dry (summer) seasons. Serum sorbitol dehydrogenase showed no significant differences between years, indicating that measured mixed-function oxygenase (MFO) enzyme activities were not affected by annual variations in hepatic tissue damage. Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity was lower in female black bream than in male fish while ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase activity was not influenced by gender. Biomarker levels measured at various sites confirm that major roads and drains are significant contributors of MFO-inducing chemicals into the Swan-Canning estuary. No consistent upstream or downstream gradient in biomarker response was identified. The ratio of naphthalene-type to benzo(a)pyrene-type biliary metabolites was linked to runoff from urban areas into the estuary. There was high annual variability in all biomarkers in both seasons, suggesting that biannual monitoring is required to evaluate the effect of contaminants on the biota in the estuary.

T1 - Baseline Micronuclei Frequency in Children: Estimates from Meta- and Pooled Analyses
AN - 14755513; 10689214
AB - Published studies reporting micronuclei (MN) frequency in children aged 018 yr were identified, and the data were subjected to a meta-analysis to provide a meta-estimate of the MN baseline value. In addition, a pooled analysis of individual data from the studies and from the Human Micronucleus International Collaborative Study database was performed. The overall meta-estimate of the MN frequency was 4.48%, while the pooled mean estimate of the MN frequency was 5.70%. Micronuclei frequency in the pooled analysis increased clearly with age.

T1 - Dietary Intake and Arsenic Methylation in a U.S. Population
AN - 14755437; 10689203
AB - The primary metabolic pathway of ingested inorganic arsenic is methylation to monomethyl arsenic (MMA) and dimethyl arsenic (DMA, but people vary significantly in the degree to which they methylate inorganic As. In this study, which involved subjects recruited from among residents of six counties in western Nevada and Kings County, CA, which contain respective cities with the largest populations in the US with historically high drinking-water As levels, urinary concentrations of As were measured using hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy. The National Cancer Institute's Health Habits and History Questionnaire was used to collect dietary information from each subject. Associations between nutrient levels and the proportions of each As specie were then assessed. Results showed that females excreted lower percent inorganic As and percent MMA and higher percent DMA than men. Increasing age was associated with decreasing percent inorganic As. Subjects in the lowest quartile of protein, iron, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B sub(6), zinc, and alpha -carotene intake had a higher mean percent inorganic As, a higher mean percent MMA, and a lower mean percent DMA in urine than subjects in the uppermost quartile of the nutrients.

T1 - The NAS Perchlorate Review: Questions Remain About the Perchlorate RfD
AN - 14755412; 10689197
AB - EPA developed a draft risk assessment for perchlorate in 2002, but it was superceded recently by an analysis by NAS, which developed a perchlorate reference dose (RfD) that is approximately 20-fold higher than that derived by EPA. Without any further deliberation or public review, EPA has adopted the NAS value and placed it on its Integrated Risk Information System website, which is a primary source of data for state risk assessors. Here, issues with the primary human studies used in the NAS perchlorate determination are highlighted, arguing that rat studies, which were discounted by NAS, provide important information that should be included as part of a comprehensive risk assessment, particularly with respect to thyroid suppression. It is argued that the perchlorate RdF derived by NAS is higher than that needed to protect public health with a reasonable margin of safety.

T1 - Local Variations in CO and Particulate Air Pollution and Adverse Birth Outcomes in Los Angeles County, California, USA
AN - 14754610; 10689212
AB - Birth certificates provided by the California Department of Health Services in Los Angeles County were used to identify subjects and to determine their gestational age, birth weight, and other covariates. The aim was to relate term low birth weight and preterm birth to variations in carbon monoxide and particulate air pollution. The study period spanned 19942000 when air pollution levels in the South Coast Air Basin were declining. Maternal exposure to air pollution during various pregnancy periods was estimated based on air-monitoring data collected by the South Coast Air Quality Management District using a ZIP-code-level analysis. Results revealed that the concentrations of CO and particulates were related to both term low birth weight and preterm birth. The associations were stronger for exposure during both early and late periods of pregnancy than for exposure averaged over the whole pregnancy. The effects were greater for women living near stations measuring CO and not PM sub(10).

T1 - Microwaves from GSM Mobile Telephones Affect 53BP1 and gamma -H2AX Foci in Human Lymphocytes from Hypersensitive and Healthy Persons
AN - 14754395; 10689206
AB - Blood samples were collected in Sweden from five healthy subjects and from five patients reporting hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields, and the effects of microwaves from Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) telephones at different frequencies on chromatin conformation and tumor-suppressor p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) and phosphorylated histone H2AX ( gamma -H2AX) foci in lymphocytes were examined. In five independent experiments, coded samples from both groups were exposed simultaneously to frequencies of 905 and 915 MHz for 1 h at 37 degree C in a humidified carbon dioxide incubator. Results showed that the effects of microwaves were frequency-dependent, and different responses were observed in cells from different individuals in terms of chromatin conformation. No statistically significant differences were found between the effects on chromatin conformation in cells from controls and hypersensitive groups as measured after either microwave exposures or heat shock. A distinct microwave-induced reduction in the level of 53BP1/ gamma -H2AX foci was observed in cells from both exposure groups in response to 915 MHz.

T1 - Neurodegenerative Diseases: an Overview of Environmental Risk Factors
AN - 14754139; 10689219
AB - The human evidence for environmental etiologies for selected diagnosed neurodegenerative diseases is reviewed. The review of the epidemiologic literature considered disease definition, exposure definition, statistically significant results, bias, and confounders, each of which is discussed. Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, Parkinsonian syndromes, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are then described in terms of genetic factors and several lifestyle habits, such as smoking and the consumption of coffee and alcohol.

T1 - Developmental Pesticide Models of the Parkinson Disease Phenotype
AN - 14753973; 10689221
AB - Data from a number of studies have suggested that Parkinson disease may be multifactorial in nature rather than a disease that can be ascribed to a unitary etiology. Two models of developmental pesticide exposures in mice are provided that yield Parkinson disease phenotypes consistent with the idea that the disease results from the loss of dopamine neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway. The models consider exposure to paraquat and maneb. For some measures, effects of the combined exposure are shown where neither pesticide administered alone has any impact. The observed effects are highly selective for the nigrostriatal dopamine system and are irreversible. The models also show greater vulnerability of males than females to the combined exposure, which is consistent with observations from epidemiologic studies of Parkinson disease.

T1 - delta -Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase Polymorphism and Risk of Brain Tumors in Adults
AN - 14753943; 10689211
AB - Data collected in a hospital casecontrol study of brain tumors conducted by the National Cancer Institute were used to explore the possible association between delta -aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) polymorphism and risk of brain tumor. Blood samples were collected from 782 incident brain tumor cases and from 799 control subjects, and genotyping was performed. Results showed that the odds of meningioma were significantly higher for individuals possessing any ALAD2 allele compared with ALAD1-1 homozygotes. No increased risk was observed for glioma or acoustic neuroma. Although the sample size was small, the association between ALAD2 and meningioma appeared to be stronger in males than in females.

T1 - Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Factors That Can Affect Sensitivity to Neurotoxic Sequelae in Elderly Individuals
AN - 14752569; 10689218
AB - Elderly individuals can have different sensitivity to neurotoxicants than younger adults due to pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors that control cellular responses to chemicals. These pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences between younger and older adults that may lead to altered sensitivity to chemical exposure are reviewed, using pharmacokinetic data for therapeutic drugs in elderly individuals to estimate geriatric/younger adult differences in key pathways than can affect the handling of a wide array of xenobiotics. Described are the basic features of aging that can affect responses to xenobiotics, including a decline in defenses against oxidant stress and impaired clearance functions in both the liver and kidney. Physiologic changes, including decreases in the percentage of muscle mass and body water and an increase in body lipid, can cause a larger volume of distribution and longer half-life of lipophilic chemicals due to their increased sequestration in fat. Increasing age can result in an increase in hepatic lipid peroxidation and/or a decreased capacity to remove lipofuscin in the liver at advanced age. Described also are liver and kidney disease in elderly individuals, specific drugs that can affect pharmacokinetic function by producing toxic side effects in the liver of kidney to which elderly individuals may be more susceptible, and pharmacodynamic aspects of sensitivity to neurotoxic agents in the elderly.

T1 - Methylmercury Contamination of Laboratory Animal Diets
AN - 14752540; 10689198
AB - During a laboratory study that was exploring developmental neurotoxicity of mercury vapor in rats, relatively high levels of Hg were found in control animals. Mercury was not detected in either the control chamber or in the room housing the chambers, in the atmosphere in the vivarium room assigned to the animals, in the bedding in the animal cages, in the breath of investigators, or in the heparin that was used in the collected procedures. Therefore, diet was suspected as the source of contamination. Purina Laboratory Rodent Diet 5001 was fed to rats during the study, and samples of the diet were analyzed for the presence of Hg. Results showed that control dams contained close to the 58 ng methylmercury/g determined by the NAS committee on methylmercury, on the basis of developmental neurotoxicity, as the benchmark dose lower bound for cord blood in human populations.

T1 - Early Environmental Origins of Neurodegenerative Disease in Later Life
AN - 14751517; 10689215
AB - An overview is provided of the emerging body of evidence on the environmental origins of neurodegenerative disease, focusing on environmental exposures occurring early in life during windows of developmental vulnerability. The pathologies of both Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease are described, as are the economic costs of the diseases. The Barker hypothesis, a concept that holds that parameters of fetal, infant, and childhood growth may be predictors of disease in later life, is outlined. Evidence is then presented of the environmental origins of Parkinson disease, including exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, paraquat, maneb, rotenone, manganese, and other chemicals, and of the environmental origins of dementia involving exposure to lead.

T1 - Assessing Susceptibility from Early-Life Exposure to Carcinogens
AN - 14751481; 10689199
AB - The current understanding of biologic processes involved in carcinogenesis suggests that children are more susceptible to some carcinogenic agents than adults due to more frequent cell division during development, an immune system that is not fully functional during development, and hormonal system differences. Here, the available scientific literature is reviewed to determine the extent of potential increased susceptibility from early-life exposure. Potential susceptibility is evaluated by individual study and tumor type, focusing only on exposures in animals occurring postnatally up to approximately five to eight weeks of age. To estimate the potential difference in susceptibility between early-life and adult exposure, the ratio of the estimated cancer potency from early-life exposure compared with the estimated cancer potency from adult exposure is calculated. Results support the conclusion that there can be greater susceptibility for the development of tumors as a result of exposures early in life to chemicals acting through a mutagenic mode of action.

T1 - Physiologic and Symptomatic Responses to Low-Level Substances in Individuals with and Without Chemical Sensitivities: a Randomized Controlled Blinded Pilot Booth Study
AN - 14751407; 10689207
AB - In Nova Scotia, Canada, a pilot, blinded, controlled booth study was conducted to explore the length of the adaptation period to obtain stable readings from exposures to low-level substances among individuals with and without chemical sensitivities. The test substances were those reported commonly by affected people to cause reactions, including common glue, a scented body-wash solution, and dryer sheets. Unscented shampoo and clean air were used as control substances. Symptoms and irritation were recorded, and physiologic measures included skin temperature, skin conductance, respiratory rate, heart rate, and surface electromyography. The BrownPeterson test was used to evaluate variation in the short-term memory span of the subjects following a booth exposure. A clear difference was observed in the time taken by cases to adapt to the experimental conditions, but half of the cases adapted after the second session. No consistent patterns were observed in terms of the measurements of surface electromyography, heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, cognition, and contrast sensitivity between cases and controls. The level of skin conductance response for all test substances, however, was higher in cases than in controls.

T1 - Testing the DoseResponse Specification in Epidemiology: Public Health and Policy Consequences for Lead
AN - 14750868; 10689209
AB - Data from seven prospective studies of lead exposure that used child IQ or developmental index as the outcome measures were pooled and analyzed statistically to decide among alternative doseresponse functions and to test whether residual confounding results from possible misspecification of model control variables affected the doseresponse function. The results were applied to a benefit model to calculate changes in economic benefits realized from using a statistically adequate doseresponse function. Results indicated that an adequate description of the doseresponse curve for the effect of Pb on child IQ was log-linear and not linear. Residual confounding of the doseresponse specification by possible misspecification of included control variables, however, played no role. Economic savings from reducing the US population blood Pb level between 1976 and 1999 estimated using the correct log-linear doseresponse relationship between blood Pb and IQ were nearly 2.2 times those estimated using a poorly fitting linear doseresponse relationship for the same decrease in population blood Pb level.

T1 - Correlating Agricultural Use of Organophosphates with Outdoor Air Concentrations: a Particular Concern for Children
AN - 14749662; 10689208
AB - The chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and malathion air-monitoring data collected by the California EPA Toxic Air Contaminant program were used to characterize the associations between agricultural pesticide use and measured air concentrations at different temporal and spatial scales. Meteorological data were extracted from the California Weather Database. Results showed that chlorpyrifos had the highest use and highest air concentrations, and measured air concentrations of chlorpyrifos oxon showed a stronger associated with reported agricultural use than did chlorpyrifos. Multiple regression revealed that agricultural use within a 3-mi radius on the monitoring day and use 24-d prior were associated significantly with air concentrations of chlorpyrifos and diazinon but not with those of malathion. The inclusion of weather parameters, especially wind speed, improved the models in the prediction direction, particularly for diazinon.

T1 - Design of a Microsphere-Based High-Throughput Gene Expression Assay to Determine Estrogenic Potential
AN - 14749644; 10689205
AB - The development of a microsphere-based high-throughput gene expression assay to determine estrogenic potential is described, which is based on the Luminex xMAP system. The assay is suitable for the detection of up to 100 different transcripts with high throughput of hundreds to thousands of samples per day. Described in detail are the animals, treatments, and target preparations, coupling of transcript-specific oligonucleotides covalently to fluorescently distinct sets of carboxylate-modified polystyrene xMAP microspheres using water-soluble carbodiimide, hybridization, and the instrumentation. Illustrative results are provided from applications of the assay showing substantial improvements on existing bead-based assays that have resulted in an assay that is correlated in relative gene expression changes determined by established microarray technologies.

T1 - Investigation of the PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter using magnetic resonance imaging.
AN - 68446846; 16077233
AB - Investigation of the normoxic PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter has been undertaken. The concentrations of the chemical components of the gel were varied and its response to ionizing radiation evaluated. Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2 was determined to be 4.5% N, N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (bis), 4.5% acrylamide (AA), 5% gelatine, 5 mM tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC), 0.01 mM hydroquinone (HQ) and 86% H2O. The optimal post-manufacture irradiation and post-irradiation imaging times were both determined to be 12 h. The R2-dose response was linear up to 7 Gy with R2-dose sensitivities of (0.183 +/- 0.005) s(-1) Gy(-1), (0.182 +/- 0.005) s(-1) Gy(-1) and (0.192 +/- 0.005) s(-1) Gy(-1) when imaged at 12 h, 7 days and 24 days post-irradiation, respectively. The R2-dose sensitivities were within the range of previously published values for the hypoxic PAG formulations. For the imaging parameters used in this study the optimum dose resolution was achieved for low doses. The normalized R2 edge response showed a high degree of spatial stability over a 24 day period. This study has shown that the normoxic PAGAT polymer gel has the properties of a dosimetric tool, which can be used in clinical radiotherapy. The PAGAT polymer gel has been shown to have similar qualities to the PAG polymer gel, while offering the significant advantage of simplification of the manufacturing procedure.

T1 - Simulation study for finding optimal lidar acquisition parameters for forest height retrieval
AN - 17563901; 6396896
AB - Accurate and cost-effective measurements of forest inventory parameters are an essential input to forest management practice. Of these parameters, height has been shown to be valuable in the estimation of stem volume and site quality. The accuracy of height estimates from lidar data depends critically on the operational characteristics of the airborne instrument and the resulting sampling density relative to the individual tree spacing within the stand. Using a simulated lidar dataset for a forest plantation with varying stem density it was found that mean nearest neighbour spacing of the lidar point samples is linearly related to retrieved predominant height. The results also indicated that the accuracy of height retrieval may be poorer at the edge of the lidar swath due to uneven spacing of the sample points. Given the significant cost of lidar data acquisition, it is crucial that data acquisition planning maximizes the benefit of the data retrieved. The information gained through simulations such as those detailed in this paper may assist attaining this maximum benefit by identifying lidar operational parameters that produce sufficiently accurate results while minimizing cost.

T1 - Metabolic enzyme activities in black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) from the Swan-Canning Estuary, Western Australia.
AN - 68805896; 16140595
AB - The Swan-Canning estuary, in southwestern Australia, is subject to frequent algal blooms and associated periods of hypoxia due to high levels of nutrients in stormwater runoff and sewage spills. Fish in which cellular respiration is impaired due to chronic exposure to non-nutrient pollutants in the water will have a reduced ability to survive these periods of high stress. In order to investigate if metabolic respiration in black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) was altered, fish were collected from five sites in the Swan-Canning estuary in summer 2001, summer 2002 and winter 2002. Aerobic and anaerobic capacities were estimated by measuring the enzymes cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Neither seasonal or annual trends, nor upstream or downstream gradients were observed in either biomarker. The fish collected from the Barrack Street site, which is close to the Perth Central Business District, were heavily challenged in their aerobic capacity in the summer months compared to the other sites. In addition, the fish at Barrack Street displayed an altered anaerobic capacity. It is likely that the impaired metabolic capacity of the fish at Barrack Street reduces the fishes' ability to survive the frequent algal blooms within the estuary.

T1 - Changes in Cry1Ac Bt transgenic cotton in response to two environmental factors: temperature and insect damage.
AN - 68577664; 16156594
AB - The efficacy of Cry1Ac Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton plants against field populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) has been inconsistent over the growing season. Any reduction in efficacy (where efficacy is the capacity of the plant to affect the survival of the insect) increases the opportunities for H. armigera to evolve resistance to Bt toxin. Changes in efficacy could be due to changes at the level of gene expression and/or in the physiological makeup of the plant and may be induced by environmental conditions. Two environmental factors, temperature and insect damage, were investigated. Temperature was found to affect efficacy, whether plants were grown at different temperatures continuously or were exposed to a change in temperature for a short period. Damage caused by chewing insects (H. armigera larvae) produced a dramatic increase in the efficacy of presquare Bt cotton. In contrast, damage by sucking insects (aphids) did not induce changes in efficacy. Changes in efficacy seemed to be mediated through modification of the physiological background of the plant rather than changes in the level of Cry1Ac expression or in the concentration of the Bt toxin. The impact of the non-Bt responses of plants on strains of H. armigera should be evaluated. It is possible that by enhancing existing defensive mechanisms of plants, the rate of evolution of resistance to Bt toxins could be retarded by increasing the plants overall toxicity through the additive effects of the toxins and plant defenses.

T1 - Modelling bivariate count series with excess zeros.
AN - 68429276; 16024052
AB - Bivariate time series of counts with excess zeros relative to the Poisson process are common in many bioscience applications. Failure to account for the extra zeros in the analysis may result in biased parameter estimates and misleading inferences. A class of bivariate zero-inflated Poisson autoregression models is presented to accommodate the zero-inflation and the inherent serial dependency between successive observations. An autoregressive correlation structure is assumed in the random component of the compound regression model. Parameter estimation is achieved via an EM algorithm, by maximizing an appropriate log-likelihood function to obtain residual maximum likelihood estimates. The proposed method is applied to analyze a bivariate series from an occupational health study, in which the zero-inflated injury count events are classified as either musculoskeletal or non-musculoskeletal in nature. The approach enables the evaluation of the effectiveness of a participatory ergonomics intervention at the population level, in terms of reducing the overall incidence of lost-time injury and a simultaneous decline in the two mean injury rates.

T1 - In vivo antitumor activity of the NF-kappaB inhibitor dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin in a mouse model of adult T-cell leukemia.
AN - 68056492; 15831528
AB - Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is an aggressive neoplasm caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I). The nuclear transcription factor, NF-kappaB, is induced by HTLV-I and is central to the ensuing neoplasia. To examine the effect of a novel NF-kappaB inhibitor, dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ), on ATL in vivo, we developed an improved severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model for ATL. Five-week-old SCID mice in which natural killer (NK) cell activity had been eliminated were inoculated intraperitoneally with the HTLV-I-infected cell lines, TL-Om1, MT-1, MT-2 and HUT-102. No engraftment of TL-Om1 cells and little tumorigenesis of MT-1 cells were detected 40 days after injection. In contrast, inoculation of mice with MT-2 and HUT-102 cells elicited high mortality, 100% frequency of gross tumor formation and tumor cell infiltration of various organs, all of which were reduced by coadministration of DHMEQ during the inoculation. Moreover, tumors from mice treated with DHMEQ had a high frequency of apoptosis. These results suggest that DHMEQ induces apoptosis in HTLV-I-transformed cells in vivo, resulting in inhibition of tumor formation and organ infiltration, thereby enhancing survival.

T1 - Community-Initiated Breast Cancer and Environment Studies and the Precautionary Principle
AN - 21345453; 7721541
AB - The precautionary principle implies the need for research paradigms that contribute to 'strength of the evidence[rdquor] assessments of the plausibility of health effects when scientific uncertainty is likely to persist and prevention is the underlying goal. Previous discussions of science that inform precautionary decision making are augmented by examining three activist-initiated breast cancer and environment studies-the Long Island, New York, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, studies and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences breast cancer and environment centers. These studies show how the choice of research questions affects the potential of results to inform action. They illustrate a spectrum of public involvement, population- and individual-level epidemiologic study designs, and the crucial importance of developing and applying new exposure assessment methods. The exposure studies are key because they are critical in assessing plausibility (without exposure to a causal agent, there is no health effect), are prerequisite to health studies, and identify preventable exposures that could be reduced by precautionary policies, even in the absence of strong evidence of harm. The breast cancer studies have contributed to environmental and biological sampling programs for endocrine-disrupting compounds in drinking water and household air and dust and the application of geographic information systems for surveillance and historical exposure assessment. They leave unanswered questions about when to invest in large epidemiologic studies, when negative results are sufficient, and how to pursue ambiguous positive results in further research and policy.

T1 - Bacterial Exopolysaccharides from Extreme Marine Environments with Special Consideration of the Southern Ocean, Sea Ice, and Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents: A Review
AN - 20719155; 6679617
AB - Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are high molecular weight carbohydrate polymers that make up a substantial component of the extracellular polymers surrounding most microbial cells in the marine environment. EPSs constitute a large fraction of the reduced carbon reservoir in the ocean and enhance the survival of marine bacteria by influencing the physicochemical environment around the bacterial cell. Microbial EPSs are abundant in the Antarctic marine environment, for example, in sea ice and ocean particles, where they may assist microbial communities to endure extremes of temperature, salinity, and nutrient availability. The microbial biodiversity of Antarctic ecosystems is relatively unexplored. Deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments are characterized by high pressure, extreme temperature, and heavy metals. The commercial value of microbial EPSs from these habitats has been established recently. Extreme environments offer novel microbial biodiversity that produces varied and promising EPSs. The biotechnological potential of these biopolymers from hydrothermal vent environments as well as from Antarctic marine ecosystems remains largely untapped.

T1 - Representing the effects of diurnal variations in light on primary production on a seasonal time-scale
AN - 19836377; 6648916
AB - Rates of production by primary producers are strongly affected by light. Diurnal variations in irradiance produce characteristic diurnal patterns in primary production and respiration. In cases in which the processes of interest occur on a longer time-scale, it is not uncommon to ignore diurnal variations and use mean daily irradiance to force models of primary producers. This simplification reduces the computer processing time and input data requirements of models. However, this approach results in an error which may be significant if irradiance during part of the day is higher than that needed for growth at the maximum possible rate. Here, an alternative approach is presented and applied to a simulation of phytoplankton in a shallow lake. The model uses a semi-analytical calculation of mean daily growth rates that takes into account periods of supersaturation with respect to light to deliver results that conform closely to those of a model using hourly time-steps and irradiance forcing, but with a substantially smaller computational cost.

T1 - A novel T-DNA vector design for selection of transgenic lines with simple transgene integration and stable transgene expression
AN - 19526719; 7890663
AB - Plants transformed with Agrobacterium frequently contain T-DNA concatamers with direct-repeat (d/r) or inverted-repeat (i/r) transgene integrations, and these repetitive T-DNA insertions are often associated with transgene silencing. To facilitate the selection of transgenic lines with simple T-DNA insertions, we constructed a binary vector (pSIV) based on the principle of hairpin RNA (hpRNA)-induced gene silencing. The vector is designed so that any transformed cells that contain more than one insertion per locus should generate hpRNA against the selective marker gene, leading to its silencing. These cells should, therefore, be sensitive to the selective agent and less likely to regenerate. Results from Arabidopsis and tobacco transformation showed that pSIV gave considerably fewer transgenic lines with repetitive insertions than did a conventional T-DNA vector (pCON). Furthermore, the transgene was more stably expressed in the pSIV plants than in the pCON plants. Rescue of plant DNA flanking sequences from pSIV plants was significantly more frequent than from pCON plants, suggesting that pSIV is potentially useful for T-DNA tagging. Our results revealed a perfect correlation between the presence of tail-to-tail inverted repeats and transgene silencing, supporting the view that read-through hpRNA transcript derived from i/r T-DNA insertions is a primary inducer of transgene silencing in plants.

T1 - Binding of Cry delta -endotoxins to brush border membrane vesicles of Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
AN - 17669410; 6511071
AB - The relatively low susceptibility of Helicoverpa armigera to Cry1Ac, its history of resistance to chemical insecticides and the seasonal decline in expression of Cry1Ac in transgenic cotton necessitated the development of cotton expressing two insecticidal proteins to provide sustainable control of this multinational pest. To manage the resistance issue, it was essential that the second insecticidal protein have a significantly different mode of action to Cry1Ac. A common feature of resistance to Cry1A proteins in several species as well as H. armigera has been a change in the binding site. A study of binding sites for some Cry proteins in the brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of H. armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera was undertaken. The binding affinity for Cry1Ac was higher than for Cry1Ab, matching their relative toxicities, and Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab were found to share at least one binding site in both H. armigera and H. punctigera. However Cry2Aa did not compete with Cry1Ac for binding and so could be used in transgenic cotton in combination with Cry1Ac to control H. armigera and manage resistance. Variation in the susceptibilities of three different H. armigera strains to Cry1Ac correlated with the parameter B sub(max)/K sub(com).

T1 - The relationship between acute alcohol consumption and consequent injury type
AN - 17667202; 6530672
AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between acute alcohol consumption and injury type (nature of injury, body region injured), while adjusting for the effect of known confounders (i.e. demographic and situational variables, usual drinking patterns, substance use and risk-taking behaviour). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between October, 2000 and October, 2001 of patients aged greater than or equal to 15 years presenting to a Queensland Emergency Department for treatment of an injury sustained in the preceding 24 h. There were three measures of acute alcohol consumption: drinking setting, quantity, and beverage type consumed in the 6 h prior to injury. Two variables were used to quantify injury type: nature of injury (fracture/dislocation, superficial, internal, and CNS injury) and body part injured (head/neck, facial, chest, abdominal, external, and extremities). Both were derived from patient medical records. Results: Five hundred and ninety three patients were interviewed. Logistic regression analyses indicated that, after controlling for relevant confounding variables, there was no significant association between any of the three measures of acute alcohol consumption and injury type. Conclusions: The effects of acute alcohol consumption are not specific to injury type. Interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of alcohol-related injury should not be targeted at specific injury types.

T1 - Predicting global dynamics from local interactions: individual-based models predict complex features of marine epibenthic communities
AN - 17643504; 6454308
AB - Spatially explicit community models often generate a wide range of complex dynamics and behaviours, but the predictions of community structure and dynamics from many of these models are rarely compared with the natural communities they are intended to represent. Here, we develop a spatially explicit individual-based model of a complex marine epibenthic community and test its ability to predict the dynamics and structure of the natural community on which the model is based. We studied a natural epibenthic community on small-scale patches of jetty wall to estimate the outcomes of pair-wise interactions among individuals of different species, neighbour-specific growth rates, and species-specific recruitment and mortality rates. The model is defined with rules acting at two spatial scales: (1) between individual cells on the spatial landscape that define the nature of interactions, growth and recruitment at a scale of 1 cm, and (2) at the scale of whole colonies (blocks of contiguous cells) that define size-specific mortality and limitations to the maximum size of colonies for some species for scales up to 1000 cm super(2). The model is compared to the existing patches on the jetty wall and proves to be a good descriptor of the large range of possible communities on the jetty, and of the multivariate variances of the patches. The high variability in community structure predicted by the model, which is similar to that observed in the natural community, arises from observed variability in parameters of interaction outcomes, growth, recruitment, and mortality of each species. Thus if the processes we modelled operate similarly in nature, our results suggest that it is difficult to attempt to predict the precise trajectory of the community in a particular patch. Our results show that it is possible to develop a testable, predictive spatial model where the patch-scale community patterns of structure and dynamics are emergent, arising from local processes between colonies and species-specific demography.

T1 - Changes in Subantarctic Heard Island Vegetation at Sites Occupied by Poa Annua, 1987-2000
AN - 17640075; 6457119
AB - Poa annua, the only alien plant species recorded on subantarctic Heard Island, considerably expanded its range and abundance along three transects in tundra-like vegetation on the island in the period 1987-2000. This expansion was strongly associated with increased seal disturbance, which also favored Callitriche antarctica and damaged Pringlea antiscorbutica, leading to a decrease in mean vegetation height. Expansions of Azorella selago and Poa cookii were independent of the expansion of P. annua, relating to colonization of moraines. There was no evidence of displacement of other taxa by Poa annua in areas undisturbed by seals.

T1 - Seed inoculation with effective root-nodule bacteria enhances revegetation success
AN - 17639059; 6462037
AB - Extensive clearing of native vegetation in Australia has contributed to major environmental problems, including land degradation, dryland salinity, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. Re-establishing cover with deep-rooted perennial species is a major focus for conservation and sustainable land management, particularly with regard to hydrological control of recharge and saline discharge areas. However, considerable expense is involved in large-scale revegetation programmes and cost effectiveness is a real concern. Low-cost revegetation approaches are needed that require little maintenance yet can substantially enhance reliable establishment and growth of native trees and shrubs. We evaluated results from direct-seeding field trials that examined the benefits of using native Australian Acacia species inoculated with effective strains of nitrogen-fixing root-nodule bacteria to revegetate degraded landscapes. On average, inoculation led to a 118% increase in establishment of acacia seedlings, indicating that the use of elite strains of native bacteria can substantially reduce seed requirements. This is a major benefit given the expense of collecting sufficient native seed and the impacts of this activity on remnant population viability. Particularly at sites experiencing harsher climatic conditions, subsequent survival of inoculated seedlings was significantly greater than for uninoculated controls. Moreover, inoculated acacias grew 10-58% faster than uninoculated controls during the critical early phase of establishment, although this varied among species and sites. Synthesis and applications. Inoculation of Acacia species or other native leguminous shrubs and trees with elite strains of native rhizobia as part of direct-seeding techniques has the potential to increase the scope, rate and success of land restoration world-wide. Re-establishment of important plant-soil interactions in degraded soils can contribute significantly to the development of biodiverse self-regenerating native ecosystems in agricultural landscapes.

T1 - A review of paired catchment studies for determining changes in water yield resulting from alterations in vegetation
AN - 17638113; 6453692
AB - Paired catchment studies have been widely used as a means of determining the magnitude of water yield changes resulting from changes in vegetation. This review focuses on the use of paired catchment studies for determining the changes in water yield at various time scales resulting from permanent changes in vegetation. The review considers long term annual changes, adjustment time scales, the seasonal pattern of flows and changes in both annual and seasonal flow duration curves. The paired catchment studies reported in the literature have been divided into four broad categories: afforestation experiments, deforestation experiments, regrowth experiments and forest conversion experiments. Comparisons between paired catchment results and a mean annual water balance model are presented and show good agreement between the two methodologies. The results highlight the potential underestimation of water yield changes if regrowth experiments are used to predict the likely impact of permanent alterations to a catchment's vegetation. An analysis of annual water yield changes from afforestation, deforestation and regrowth experiments demonstrates that the time taken to reach a new equilibrium under permanent land use change varies considerably. Deforestation experiments reach a new equilibrium more quickly than afforestation experiments. The review of papers reporting seasonal changes in water yield highlights the proportionally larger impact on low flows. Flow duration curve comparison provides a potential means of gaining a greater understanding of the impact of vegetation on the distribution of daily flows.

T1 - The barriers to illegal anabolic steroid use
AN - 17565672; 6433670
AB - This paper summarizes the self-reported barriers that men overcame prior to initiating illegal anabolic steroid use, and the associated weakening of social controls that restrict anabolic steroid initiation. Data was collected via participant observation of 147 anabolic steroid users and previous users, 98 in-depth interviews with 42 anabolic steroid users and 49 in-depth interviews with 22 illegal dealers. Additional data came from interviews and eight focus groups with gym instructors, personal trainers and health workers, and the monitoring of policy changes and media reports relating to anabolic steroids. The identified barriers included, coping with potential stigma, gathering of credible information and overcoming structural and resource barriers including developing the skills required to administer the drug and gaining a supply source. As these barriers were overcome there was a reduction in the social controls that inhibit the initiation of illegal anabolic steroid use. By understanding the interaction between potential users, social controls and these barriers it may be possible to strengthen the barriers and hence delay or halt the progression to anabolic steroid use. The paper suggests several demand- and harm-reduction strategies that may assist this process.

T1 - Microarray Analysis Reveals Vegetative Molecular Phenotypes of Arabidopsis Flowering-time Mutants
AN - 17400833; 6519614
AB - The transition to flowering occurs at the shoot apex; however, most of the characterized genes that affect the timing of floral induction are expressed throughout the plant. To further our understanding of these genes and the flowering process, the vegetative molecular phenotypes of 16 Arabidopsis mutants associated with the major flowering initiation pathways were assayed using a 13,000 clone microarray under two different conditions that affect flowering. All mutants showed at least one change in gene expression other than the mutant flowering gene. Metabolism- and defence-related pathways were the areas with the most frequent gene expression changes detected in the mutants. Several genes such as EARLI1 were differentially expressed in a number of flowering mutants from different flowering pathways. Analysis of the promoter regions of genes differentially expressed identified common promoter elements, indicating some form of common regulation.

T1 - Air Pollution-Associated Changes in Lung Function Among Asthmatic Children in Detroit
AN - 14757969; 10687740
AB - Asthma hospitalization rates for children in Detroit, MI, are more than three times the statewide average. In 298 asthmatic primary-school-aged children in the city, the relationships between lung function and ambient levels of particulate matter (PM) and ozone were examined. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses of exposures with health outcomes were examined, along with multivariable regression models that included interaction terms between exposure measures and corticosteroid use or the presence of an upper respiratory infection. Results from single- and two-pollutant regression models suggested that the levels of PM sub(10) and O sub(3) were associated with adverse effects on pulmonary function among the at-risk children with asthma. Single-pollutant models suggested lag 2 effects for PM sub(10) and 8-h peak O sub(3) for asthmatic children using maintenance corticosteroids, and for children reporting respiratory infection, the single-pollutant models showed PM effects in later lags and a striking O sub(3) effect.

T1 - Biologic Monitoring of Exposure to Environmental Chemicals Throughout the Life Stages: Requirements and Issues for Consideration for the National Children's Study
AN - 14757824; 10687742
AB - The Chemical Exposures Workgroup of the National Children's Study is providing guidance on what biologic samples may be most useful for characterizing chemical exposures of interest in the study. Biologic samples can be taken preconceptionally from both parents, from a pregnant woman during each trimester, during and immediately after child birth, from the mother postnatally, and from the child through 21 yr of age. Described are the general behavior of a chemical in the body and the behavior of specific chemical classes, including persistent organic chemicals, nonpersistent organic chemicals, bioaccumulative metals, nonbioaccumulative metals, and criteria pollutants and bioallergens. Discussed also are methods for assessing exposure throughout the life cycle and biologic matrices for exposure assessment, such as blood, urine, breast milk, adipose tissue, and alternative matrices.

T1 - Mapping and Prediction of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis with Bioavailable Iron Content in the Bituminous Coals
AN - 14757788; 10687723
AB - The USGS database of coal quality was used to calculate the bioavailable iron (BAI) for each individual coal mine region in the US. For the calculation, molar amounts of pyritic sulfur per gram of dry coal, as well as sulfate, calcium oxide, and total Fe, were taken into account. The calculated BAI was then compared with the prevalence of coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP). Results revealed a significant correlation between CWP prevalence and the levels of BAI in the coals. The molar amount of pyritic S per gram of dry coal and total Fe also correlated significantly with CWP prevalence.

T1 - Exposure Assessment for Atmospheric Ultrafine Particles (UFPs) and Implications in Epidemiologic Research
AN - 14757772; 10687721
AB - Data gleaned from the literature are cited in a review of the key characteristics of ultrafine particles (UFPs), their sources, and formation mechanisms. Rapidly increasing epidemiologic evidence has linked respiratory health effects and exposures to UFPs, and there is sufficient toxicologic basis for believing that UFPs are capable of inducing the greatest amount of inflammation per unit particulate matter mass because of high particle number, high lung deposition efficiency, and surface chemistry. The particles are formed in the atmosphere by at least three processes: during combustion processes associated mostly with traffic or industrial sources, emission of supersaturated vapors that undergo nucleation and condensation while being cooled, and chemical reactions in the atmosphere. The importance of developing and deploying technologies that can assess the nature and extent to which people are exposed to UFPs in various microenvironments is stressed.

T1 - Pollutant Particles Produce Vasoconstriction and Enhance MAPK Signaling via Angiotensin Type I Receptor
AN - 14757760; 10687730
AB - Results from recent studies have indicated that particulate matter (PM) may cause endothelial dysfunction and vasoconstriction. The circulating and local reninangiotensin systems are known to play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, and the end product of the pathway is angiotensin II, one of the most potent vasoconstrictors. Its effects are mediated primarily by the G protein-coupled angiotensin type 1 receptor. Agonist binding of the receptor activates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), a common early signaling event induced by PM exposure. In this study, the role of the angiotensin type 1 receptor in urban particles-induced vasoconstriction and MAPK activation was investigated using the isolated rat pulmonary artery ring system and human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Results showed that urban particles induced vasoconstriction in rat pulmonary arterial rings. The particle-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction could be inhibited by losartan, an angiotensin type 1 receptor antagonist, indicating the important role played by the reninangiotensin system. Both the water-soluble and -insoluble fractions of urban particles were effective in increasing extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation.

AB - The gene expression profile of malathion was examined in primary normal human mammary epithelial cells, which were exposed to 0.2 mg malathion/0.1 m super(3) for 6 and 24 h. Gene expression was measured by DNA microarrays and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Similar gene expression alterations in response to malathion exposure were found in all cell strains for nine genes: aldoketo reductase 1, aldoketo reductase 2, an estrogen-responsive gene, plasminogen activator, centromere protein F, replication factor C, thymidylate synthetase, putative mitotic checkpoint kinase, and a gene of unknown function.

T1 - Combustion-Derived Ultrafine Particles Transport Organic Toxicants to Target Respiratory Cells
AN - 14757183; 10687722
AB - Butadiene soot (BDS), which is produced during incomplete combustion of BD, is a complex, PAH-rich mixture of particulates. In this study, BDS was characterized with respect to particle-size distribution and assembly, PAH composition, and elemental content of ultrafine particles. In addition, in vitro assays were performed to demonstrate that BDS ultrafine particles can be transported and transfer adsorbed organic constituents directly to target respiratory cells without uptake of the particles by the cells. Results from elemental analyses emphasized the strong polyaromatic nature of BDS and the relative absence of ring substitution. The very low levels of nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen indicated that amines, nitro compounds, oxides of S, quinones, hydroquinones, or semiquinones were not likely to be the BDS constituents that were primarily responsible for its biologic activity. The dimensions of the solid spheres comprising the BDS particles were 3050 nm in diameter. The in vitro experiments showed that the ultrafine BDS particles moved down through the medium to the membrane of the human bronchial epithelial cell line and crossed the membrane into the cytosol, appearing to accumulate in lipid vesicles. There was no evidence, however, that BDS particles passed into the cells.

T1 - Characterizing Exposures to Nonpersistent Pesticides During Pregnancy and Early Childhood in the National Children's Study: a Review of Monitoring and Measurement Methodologies
AN - 14756813; 10687743
AB - Nonpersistent pesticides do not accumulate in the body and are generally excreted within hours or days. The sampling framework for characterizing exposures to nonpersistent pesticides during pregnancy and early childhood that may be utilized in the National Children's Study is outlined. The framework has been proposed by the Exposure to Chemical Agents Working Group. Monitoring and measurement methods for assessing such exposure are detailed. In the area of biologic monitoring, urine, blood, and other monitoring matrices are discussed, and in the environmental monitoring realm, air, dust, hand-wipe, diet, infant formula, and drinking-water sampling are described.

T1 - Alterations in Central Nervous System Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Synaptic Activity in Adulthood After Prenatal or Neonatal Chlorpyrifos Exposure
AN - 14756230; 10687733
AB - Using timed-pregnant SpragueDawley rats, serotonin (5HT) levels and turnover, a measure of synaptic activity, were measured in adulthood after prenatal or neonatal exposure to chlorpyrifos. Measurements were made using the metabolite ratio method, assessing the relative amounts of 5HT and its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid. The effects on 5HT systems were contrasted to those on dopamine (DA) levels and turnover, also using the metabolite ratio method. The animals were exposed to chlorpyrifos regimens below the threshold for systemic toxicity on gestational days 1720, postnatal days 14 , or postnatal days 1114. The resulting data revealed that the observed changes in static 5HT biomarkers were associated with functional changes in 5HT levels and in 5HT turnover, and the critical period for the alterations of transmitter turnover corresponded precisely to that identified for the protein biomarkers, with closure of the window of vulnerability by the second postnatal week. The increase in 5HT turnover evoked by chlorpyrifos exposure on either gestational days 1720 or postnatal days 14 was indicative of presynaptic hyperactivity. A prominent loss of hippocampal DA was observed even at 1 mg/kg, a dose devoid of maternal or fetal toxicity or fetal cholinesterase inhibition.

T1 - Long-Term Effects of Neonatal Exposure to Hydroxylated Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the BALB/cCrgl Mouse
AN - 14756210; 10687732
AB - BALB/cCrgl mice were used to examine whether neonatal exposure to the estrogenic chemicals, 2,'4',6'-trichloro-4-biphenylol (OH-PCB-30) and 2',3',4',5'-tetrachloro-4-biphenylol (OH-PCB-61) would result in carcinogenicity. The compounds, which are the 4-hydroxylated metabolites of the respective parent PCBs, were tested singly and in combination. The mice were treated within 16 h after birth by subcutaneous injections every 24 h for 5 d. A rather large number of different tumors were detected, but those with the highest frequency were cervicovaginal tract tumors. The highest mortality rates were observed in mice treated with high doses of OH-PCBs, indicating that neonatal exposure had a chronic toxic effect because the lethality occurred at close to 12 months. Exposure to the two OH-PCBs combined rather than individually shifted the tumor type from squamous to adenosquamous, suggesting the formation of a more aggressive tumor type.

T1 - Exposure Assessment Implications for the Design and Implementation of the National Children's Study
AN - 14756194; 10687745
AB - The hypotheses of the National Children's Study will attempt to link certain types of chemical exposures with specific health effects, but determining what to measure and when to measure is a very complex issue for consideration in the study design. Before choosing the various measurement methods to be used in the study, designers will have to identify the chemicals or chemical classes and biologic agents of interest for each hypothesis, along with the key media, routes, and pathways of exposure for each chemical type or class. Here, exposure measurement considerations are identified and discussed, along with epidemiologic study design considerations such as determining optimum sample sizes for obtaining measurement data and methods for linking health outcomes to exposure metrics.

T1 - Decrease in Anogenital Distance Among Male Infants with Prenatal Phthalate Exposure
AN - 14756169; 10687738
AB - In a cohort of women in Los Angeles, CA; Minneapolis, MN; and Columbia, MO, questionnaires were administered, and urine samples were collected for phthalate metabolite analysis. The subjects were then revisited when their babies were 236 months old, and a standardized measure of anogenital distance (AGD) and other genital measurements were examined in relation to prenatal phthalate exposure. Results showed that all phthalate metabolites tested were above the limit of detection in more than 49% of the women, and most tested were above the limit of detection in more than 90% of the women. The mean concentrations ranged from 2.68 ng/ml for mono-3-carboxypropyl phthalate to 629.8 ng/ml for monoethyl phthalate. Metabolite concentrations for mother of boys with short anogenital index (AGI) values, which was defined as AGD divided by weight at examination, were consistently higher than those of other mothers. The AGI was related inversely to the urinary concentrations of monoethyl phthalate, mono-n butyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, and monoisobutyl phthalate.

T1 - Seasonal Variations in Air Pollution Particle-Induced Inflammatory Mediator Release and Oxidative Stress
AN - 14756130; 10687734
AB - Human alveolar macrophages (AMs) and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells were exposed to the same mass of particulate matter (PM) of different size fractions collected in different seasons in Chapel Hill, NC, and the release of interleukin (IL)-6/IL-8 and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) were assessed. Principal component analysis was used with multiple linear regression analysis to determine the contribution of particle components to changes in the endpoints examined. Results showed that PM of all size fractions induced the release of IL-6 and IL-8 from AMs and NHBE cells, respectively, but the coarse fraction was more potent than the fine and ultrafine fractions regardless of the month of collection. For the production of ROSs, however, all three fractions had similar potency when PM from the same month was compared. Iron and silicon were associated positively with IL-6 release in AMs incubated with the coarse but not the fine or ultrafine fraction, and chromium was associated positively with IL-8 release in NHBE cells incubated with the fine and ultrafine fractions but not the coarse fraction. The potency for PM from different seasons to induce the inflammatory mediators varied.

T1 - An Extensive New Literature Concerning Low-Dose Effects of Bisphenol A Shows the Need for a New Risk Assessment
AN - 14756108; 10687719
AB - Recent findings are described concerning mechanisms mediating the effects of very low doses of bisphenol A, the adverse effects being reported in animals, and recent findings from human studies. The lowest dose studied for risk assessment purposes has been 50 mg/kg/d, which is the currently accepted lowest observed adverse effect level used to calculate a reference dose of 50 mu g/kg/d based on experiments conducted in the 1980s. The current status of the literature on low-dose effects of the environmental estrogen is outlined, and the factors accounting for the absence of significant effects in low-dose bisphenol A experiments are identified and discussed, including the strain of the experimental animal used, misinterpretation of the absence of significant findings for positive controls, and disruption of low-dose studies of endocrine-disrupting chemicals by variability in components of commercial animal feed. It is argued that a new risk assessment is needed to establish a new lowest observed adverse effect level and a new reference dose for bisphenol A based on the extensive new information from low-dose studies.

T1 - Effects of Environmental Agents on the Attainment of Puberty: Considerations When Assessing Exposure to Environmental Chemicals in the National Children's Study
AN - 14754932; 10687744
AB - One of several hypotheses that the National Children's Study will address concerns the effects of environmental agents on the age at puberty. A brief background is presented here of the factors associated with the age of maturity, and assessment for exposure to environmental chemical agents in the developing child using a life-stage approach is discussed. Considered are several environmental chemicals that are known to have hormonal activity, such as PCBs, lead, persistent organohalogen chemicals, and nonpersistent chemicals. Strategies for testing the hypotheses are then discussed, including: sampling periods, populations with high exposures, the choice of environmental chemicals, and measurement methods.

T1 - Relationships Among Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonDNA Adducts, Proximity to the World Trade Center, and Effects on Fetal Growth
AN - 14754904; 10687739
AB - The September 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City released a complex mixture of toxicants into the environment that included PAHs. To explore the possible contribution to adverse birth outcomes of ambient PAHs after the attack, PAHDNA adducts were examined in maternal and umbilical cord blood samples obtained at delivery from women who were pregnant on the day of the attack and related to proximity to the WTC site. In addition, PAHDNA adducts in cord blood were related to birth outcomes in a prior study conducted in northern Manhattan/south Bronx, alone and in combination with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Results revealed that pregnant women living within 1 mi of the WTC site had increased levels of PAHDNA adducts in cord blood and maternal blood. In addition, PAHDNA adducts, in conjunction with ETS exposure, were associated significantly with reduced birth weight and head circumference. The observed effects of PAHs and ETS on fetal growth were biologically plausible and consistent with prior research.

T1 - Low Doses of Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol Impair CA super(2+) Signals in Pancreatic alpha -Cells Through a Nonclassical Membrane Estrogen Receptor Within Intact Islets of Langerhans
AN - 14754881; 10687724
AB - Pancreatic islets of Langerhans from Swiss albino OF1 male mice were isolated by collagenase digestion, and the effects of exposure to low doses of bisphenol A and diethylstilbestrol on glucose-induced intracellular calcium ion oscillations in alpha -cells were investigated. Results demonstrated that the endocrine disruptors imitated the circulating hormone, 17 beta -estradiol, in suppressing low-glucose-induced Ca super(2+) oscillation. The rapid effect was observed in a preparation that was almost identical to the physiologic situation: intact islets of Langerhans used directly after their isolation. The data suggested that the environmental estrogens imitated 17 beta -estradiol actions not only through the classical pathway but also via other alternative pathways that do not necessarily involve classical estrogen receptors.

T1 - Potential Role of Ultrafine Particles in Associations Between Airborne Particle Mass and Cardiovascular Health
AN - 14754854; 10687720
AB - The evidence for adverse effects of air pollution on cardiovascular health is discussed, focusing on findings that suggest a role for ultrafine particles and related toxic air-pollutant components. Studies using other particle-size fractions, other particle measurements, and gas-phase pollutants are reviewed to provide a rationale for investigations of ultrafine particles. The cardiovascular effects associated with personal and ambient air-pollution exposure found in selected studies are tabulated. The data suggest that inflammation and oxidative stress are related to both acute changes in cardiovascular health and chronic processes and that ultrafine particles from fossil-fuel combustion reach target sites in the lungs, vasculature, and heart to induce inflammation and oxidative stress.

T1 - Is the Global Rise of Asthma an Early Impact of Anthropogenic Climate Change?
AN - 14754816; 10687717
AB - There has been a sustained focus on identifying the causative environmental factors of the observed overall trend to increasing asthma prevalence and morbidity worldwide, but the environmental factors remain unknown. However, climate change provides an additional plausible explanation, especially for pollen-induced asthma. This aspect is explored here in terms of anthropogenic climate change, the impacts of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and climate change on pollen, and the impacts of climate change on asthma. The data suggest that asthma prevalence, but not severity, may have plateaued in some countries very recently. However, exposure to allergens in infancy is thought to sensitize individuals to asthma and other atopic conditions, such that increases in pollen quantity and extended pollen seasons due to climate change may lead to both an increase in the development of the condition and greater morbidity among those affected by it.

T1 - Acute Blood Pressure Responses in Healthy Adults During Controlled Air Pollution Exposures
AN - 14754398; 10687737
AB - Blood pressure and heart rate were measured in healthy individuals at 30-min intervals during 2-h controlled exposures to concentrated ambient fine particles (CAPs) with added ozone and compared with those measured in subjects exposed to particle-free air. The participants were aged 1950 yr and included 13 males and ten females. A statistically significant increase in diastolic blood pressure was observed in the subjects exposed to CAPs plus O sub(3), and a strong association was noted between the size of the 2-h diastolic blood pressure change and the carbon content of the fine particles, which suggested that particulate matter composition is an important factor in cardiovascular health effects.

T1 - Thyroid Hormones in Pregnancy in Relation to Environmental Exposure to Organochlorine Compounds and Mercury
AN - 14754373; 10687735
AB - The relation between exposure to potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals and thyroid status was examined in pregnant women and their newborns. The compounds of interest were coplanar and non-coplanar PCBs, organochlorine pesticide residues, and mercury. The study was conducted using subjects in southwestern Quebec, Canada, recruited at their first prenatal visit at the Center for Local Community Services. Blood samples were collected during each trimester, along with cord blood samples at delivery. A significant negative relationship was noted between circulating total triiodothyronine levels in the pregnant women at low environmental doses of PCB-138, PCB-153, PCB-180, inorganic Hg, and p,p'-DDE and hexachlorobenzene. Only cis-nanochlor was related to both increased free thyroxine and decreased total triiodothyronine levels during pregnancy. The PCB congeners and pesticide residues in cord plasma were not related significantly to cord blood. Blood lipid content was not a major confounding factor for the relationship between thyroid hormones and organochlorines.

T1 - Residential Proximity to Agricultural Pesticide Use and Incidence of Breast Cancer in California, 19881997
AN - 14753863; 10687728
AB - Ten years of statewide cancer registry data linked to California's mandatory pesticide-use reporting data were used to evaluate whether breast cancer rates were higher among women living in areas with recent intense agricultural pesticide use. Census block group designations were assigned to cases based on the geocoded location of residence at the time of breast cancer diagnosis. Five pesticides were selected for individual analysis: simazine, diuron, oryzalin, propartite, and methyl bromide. Covariates in the analysis included race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, degree of urbanization, and age. Results showed that the cases were more likely than the adult female statewide population to be older, non-Hispanic white, and to live in suburban and higher socioeconomic status neighborhoods. No evidence was found, however, that women living in areas of recent, high agricultural pesticide use experienced higher breast cancer incidence rates.

T1 - Benchmark Calculations for Perchlorate from Three Human Cohorts
AN - 14753748; 10687729
AB - The benchmark dose for perchlorate was calculated using free thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) measurements in conjunction with calculated or measured perchlorate doses from three human cohort studies, and the calculations were compared with the 0.4 mg/kg-d no-observed-adverse-effect level estimated by NAS. One study involved volunteers receiving perchlorate in drinking water for 14 consecutive days, and the other two were cross-sectional studies of ammonium perchlorate workers exposed occupationally. The half-life of perchlorate in serum at 7.5 h was estimated, along with the volume of distribution at 0.34 l/kg. None of the studies found any significant adverse effects of perchlorate exposure on free thyroxine or TSH. The lower 95% statistical confidence limits on the benchmark doses ranged 0.210.56 and 0.360.92 mg/kg-d for free thyroxine and TSH, respectively.

T1 - Comparison of Blood and Brain Mercury Levels in Infant Monkeys Exposed to Methylmercury or Vaccines Containing Thimerosal
AN - 14753650; 10687731
AB - The blood and brain levels of mercury were compared in infant monkeys exposed orally to methylmercury (MeHg) or via intramuscular injections of vaccines containing thimerosal, which is a preservative that contains 49.6% Hg by weight and breaks down in the body to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. The dosages and schedule of administration of Hg were chosen to be comparable with the current immunization schedule for human newborns. The monkey infants were sacrificed 2, 4, 7, or 28 d after their last Hg exposure. Results revealed that the adsorption rate and initial distribution volume of total Hg were similar between intramuscular thimerosal and oral MeHg, but a biphasic exponential decline in total blood Hg was observed only after injections of thimerosal, which suggested continual distribution into and localization in tissue sites over time. Total Hg derived from intramuscular thimerosal was cleared from the infants much more quickly than MeHg, and a much lower brain concentration of total Hg was observed in the thimerosal monkeys compared with the MeHg monkeys. The large difference in the blood Hg half-life compared with the brain half-life for the thimerosal-exposed monkeys, which were 6.9 and 24.0 d, respectively, indicated that blood Hg would not be a good indicator of risk of adverse effects on the brain.

T1 - GIS-Based Estimation of Exposure to Particulate Matter and NO sub(2) in an Urban Area: Stochastic Versus Dispersion Modeling
AN - 14753595; 10687727
AB - In the Traffic-Related Air Pollution on Childhood Asthma study conducted in Munich, Germany, both stochastic and dispersion modeling were used to predict outdoor exposure to nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) for 1669 study participants. In this study, the measured levels of the two pollutants were compared with the levels predicted by the two modeling approaches, along with the results of the two methods for all 1669 study participants. For exposure modeling, geographic information system (GIS)-based stochastic and dispersion exposure modeling were used to predict annual average concentrations for each cohort address. For dispersion modeling, the Gaussian multisource dispersion model, IMMIS super(net), was used. Results showed that, despite different assumptions and approaches made by the two models, the NO sub(2) and PM sub(2.5) values predicted by the stochastic model were correlated strongly with the corresponding NO sub(2) and total suspended particulate concentrations predicted by the dispersion model.

T1 - Arsenite-Induced Alterations of DNA Photodamage Repair and Apoptosis After Solar-Simulation UVR in Mouse Keratinocytes in Vitro
AN - 14752021; 10687726
AB - The mouse keratinocyte cell line 291.03C was used to examine how arsenite affected solar-simulation UV radiation (UVR)-induced apoptosis and photodamage repair. The UVR LD sub(50) was determined to be 0.05 kJ/m super(2), and the sodium arsenite LC sub(50) was 0.9 mu M. Mouse keratinocytes did not repair UVR-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers efficiently, and arsenite did not affect DNA photodamage repair rates significantly. Arsenite reduced the repair rate of 64 photoproducts by about a factor of two at 5.0 mu M but had no significant effect at 2.5 mu M. Arsenite decreased the UVR-induced caspase-3/7 activity in parallel with the inhibition of apoptosis.

T1 - Brands, costs and registration status of antimalarial drugs in the Kenyan retail sector.
AN - 68447411; 16042815
AB - Although an important source of treatment for fevers, little is known about the structure of the retail sector in Africa with regard to antimalarial drugs. This study aimed to assess the range, costs, sources and registration of antimalarial drugs in the Kenyan retail sector.
In 2002, antimalarial drug registration and trade prices were established by triangulating national registration lists, government gazettes and trade price indices. Data on registration status and trade prices were compared with similar data generated through a retail audit undertaken among 880 randomly sampled retailers in four districts of Kenya. Two hundred and eighteen antimalarial drugs were in circulation in Kenya in 2002. These included 65 "sulfur"-pyrimethamine (sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and sulfalene-pyrimethamine (SP), the first-line recommended drug in 2002) and 33 amodiaquine (AQ, the second-line recommended drug) preparations. Only half of SP and AQ products were registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. Of SP and AQ brands at district level, 40% and 44% were officially within legal registration requirements. 29% of retailers at district level stocked SP and 95% stocked AQ. The retail price of adult doses of SP and AQ were on average 0.38 and 0.76 US dollars, 100% and 347% higher than trade prices from manufacturers and importers. Artemether-lumefantrine, the newly announced first-line recommended antimalarial drug in 2004, was found in less than 1% of all retail outlets at a median cost of 7.6 US dollars.
There is a need to ensure that all antimalarial drugs are registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board to facilitate a more stringent post-marketing surveillance system to ensure drugs are safe and of good quality post-registration.

T1 - Language-learning disorders and youth incarceration.
AN - 85388261; pmid-15862813
AB - Many speech-language pathologists are serving delinquent boys with language-learning disorders who are both current and former residents of correctional institutions. These youngsters demonstrate personal maladjustments that have a negative impact on school performance and socialization. Those boys within chaotic families are at risk of poverty, institutionalization, and substance abuse. Boys with language-learning disorders, who have encountered the law, need to be provided with services through collaborative and individualized efforts toward improving language skills, learning, and re-incorporating them into society. Further investigations are needed in order to clarify how the elements of personal, family, neighborhood, school and service conditions serve as either protective or risk factors for a life of incarceration in these individuals. LEARNING OUTCOMES: As a result of this presentation, the reader will understand the complex relationship among language-learning disorders, poverty, poor school performance, and delinquency in boys. The reader will become aware of the elements that should be present in school and correctional services in order to prevent recidivism in boys with language-learning disorders who have had problems with the law.

T1 - Methotrexate pulmonary toxicity.
AN - 68023414; 16011450
AB - Methotrexate is a commonly prescribed antineoplastic and immune modulating compound that has gained wide acceptance in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, sarcoidosis and a number of neoplastic disorders. Although generally considered safe and easy to use, methotrexate has been associated with a number of adverse reactions. Pulmonary toxicity has been well-described and may take a variety of forms. Pulmonary infiltrates are the most commonly encountered form of methotrexate pulmonary toxicity and these infiltrates resemble hypersensitivity lung disease. This discussion focuses primarily on low-dose methotrexate pulmonary toxicity and will discuss the diagnosis using clinical, pulmonary function, radiographical and pathological manifestations. Suggestions for clinical monitoring to detect adverse effects are given. In addition, management of pulmonary toxicity through discontinuation of the methotrexate, support and possibly the administration of corticosteroids is discussed.

T1 - The use of monotherapy in patients with epilepsy: an appraisal of the new antiepileptic drugs.
AN - 67983870; 15987617
AB - The use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in monotherapy is always preferred to a polytherapy regimen because monotherapy facilitates drug compliance, is associated with a lower risk of toxicity, and is less costly. In addition, the yield of polytherapy to render a patient seizure-free when monotherapy regimens did not is relatively low. The available data derived from randomized controlled trials suggest that standard and new AEDs appear to display comparable antiepileptic efficacy but they differ with respect to tolerability and toxicity, which may be related to their pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. New AEDs appear to be better tolerated than standard AEDs and to have fewer pharmacokinetic interactions than standard AEDs. In this article, we review the advantages of using AEDs in monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed and refractory epilepsies, focusing on the individual properties of the drugs that may make them more appropriate in various patient groups.

T1 - Kawasaki disease: what is the epidemiology telling us about the etiology?
AN - 67951400; 15936970
AB - Kawasaki disease (KD) is an important and common inflammatory vasculitis of early childhood with a striking predilection for the coronary arteries. It is the predominant cause of paediatric acquired heart disease in developed countries. Despite 40 years of research, the aetiology of KD remains unknown and consequently there is no diagnostic test and treatment is non-specific and sub-optimal. The consensus is that KD is due to one or more widely distributed infectious agent(s), which evoke an abnormal immunological response in genetically susceptible individuals. The epidemiology of KD has been extensively investigated in many populations and provides much of the supporting evidence for the consensus regarding etiology. These epidemiological data are reviewed here, in the context of the etiopathogenesis. It is suggested that these data provide additional clues regarding the cause of KD and may account for some of the continuing controversies in the field.

AB - Discusses the challenges & opportunities presented in Vladimir Putin's second term as Russia's president, especially as regards his plans for reinvigorating human & energy resources as an implement of future economic development. In Russia the president possesses the autocratic authority to shift major revenue from the rich energy oligarchs to sufficiently finance human resources. Putin may have as well the authority to alter Russia's legal & institutional culture as a way of appealing to major foreign investors needed for continued development of energy production & exports. New regulations grant Putin power over all branches of government, power he may need to wholly utilize in order to launch dramatic transformations of domestic & foreign policy before his second term expires in 2008.

T1 - Cyberdemocracy or Potemkin E-Villages? Electronic Governments in OECD and Post-Communist Countries
AN - 59693831; 200604888
AB - The dramatic increase in the use of the World Wide Web & the Internet in government may foreshadow important changes in the nature of governance. A number of theorists have posited that the adoption of networked information systems is accompanied by inevitable shifts toward democratic government. Others argue that technologies are secondary factors in changes in levels of democracy or types of governance. Our article examines the openness of cabinet-level websites in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) & post-communist countries as a measure of an important aspect of governance that has only recently been operationalized. It provides a brief review of other studies in this field & the directions in which they are heading. The article analyzes the effects of political, cultural, economic, & technical factors on openness of cabinet-level websites in OECD & post-communist countries. The question is whether the level of democracy & cultural legacies affect openness of electronic governments. The study employs statistical analysis of a comparative database of national-level public agency websites that is produced by the Cyberspace Policy Research Group (CyPRG). The dependent variable is based on transparency & interactivity scores & availability of cabinet-level websites. The independent variables include Freedom House & Polity indexes of democracy, historical legacy, religious tradition, & the GDP per capita & number of Internet users per 1,000 people. Regression analysis shows that democracy, historical legacies, level of economic development, & religious tradition affect openness of cabinet-level websites in OECD & post-communist countries. This study demonstrates need to distinguish between cyberdemocracy & "Potemkin e-villages," that is, window-dressing, in electronic governments. Tables, References. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Genetic and physical mapping of the grapevine powdery mildew resistance gene, Run1, using a bacterial artificial chromosome library
AN - 20717565; 6794248
AB - Resistance to grapevine powdery mildew is controlled by Run1, a single dominant gene present in the wild grapevine species, Muscadinia rotundifolia, but absent from the cultivated species, Vitis vinifera. Run1 has been introgressed into V. vinifera using a pseudo-backcross strategy, and genetic markers have previously been identified that are linked to the resistance locus. Here we describe the construction of comprehensive genetic and physical maps spanning the resistance locus that will enable future positional cloning of the resistance gene. Physical mapping was performed using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library constructed using genomic DNA extracted from a resistant V. vinifera individual carrying Run1 within an introgression. BAC contig assembly has enabled 20 new genetic markers to be identified that are closely linked to Run1, and the position of the resistance locus has been refined, locating the gene between the simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, VMC4f3.1, and the BAC end sequence-derived marker, CB292.294. This region contains two multigene families of resistance gene analogues (RGA). A comparison of physical and genetic mapping data indicates that recombination is severely repressed in the vicinity of Run1, possibly due to divergent sequence contained within the introgressed fragment from M. rotundifolia that carries the Run1 gene.

T1 - Immobilisation of free-living Weddell seals Leptonychotes weddellii using midazolam and isoflurane
AN - 19734077; 6732633
AB - Eleven lactating female Weddell seals were immobilised using inhaled isoflurane and oxygen, having initially been sedated using an intramuscular injection of midazolam. The seals were selected from colonies in Long Fjord, East Antarctica. Isoflurane was delivered using a precision, out-of-circle vaporiser in a portable, heated, semi-closed circle system anaesthetic machine. Induction time (time from injection of midazolam to detected maximal effect of midazolam) ranged from 12 min to 29 min. The maximal effect of midazolam was assessed as being either moderate sedation (n=9) or heavy sedation (n=2), and the maximal effect of inhaled isoflurane and oxygen was assessed as being light anaesthesia (n=11). The level of chemical restraint achieved using this combination allowed attachment of heart rate monitoring units and collection of biological samples. Recovery time ranged from 1 min to 11 min. The anaesthetic regime proved a practical, safe and reliable method for the immobilisation of lactating Weddell seals under conditions of low environmental temperature.

T1 - Diminishing and negative welfare returns of economic growth: an index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW) for Thailand
AN - 17654736; 6450756
AB - Thailand has achieved remarkable levels of economic growth over the last three decades. This sustained economic growth has played a major role in reducing absolute poverty levels from nearly one third of the population in 1975 to presently less than 10%, thus increasing the welfare of many Thais. This performance ranks Thailand as one of the world's most successful economies during this period. However, an increasing number of studies have begun to find that at a certain point achieving economic growth stops improving welfare and actually begins to diminish it due to the hidden and traditionally unreported costs of associated with this growth. With one exception, these new studies have focussed on high-income countries. This study will estimate an index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW) for a developing country, Thailand, over a 25-year period, 1975-1999. This paper concludes that even low-middle income countries are beginning to approach the point in which economic growth produces both diminishing and, at times, negative welfare returns as the costs of achieving economic growth begin to outweigh the benefits. These results are important for policy makers and highlight the importance of implementing alternative welfare enhancing interventions that must be considered in place of simply achieving economic growth. The emphasis of this paper is not on the methodology of estimating the ISEW for Thailand, but rather on the policy implications for developing countries of diminishing and negative welfare returns brought about through the achievement of economic growth.

T1 - Major vascular injury after laparoscopic tubal ligation
AN - 17565566; 6458407
AB - Laparoscopy has become an established approach with diverse applications in both diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. In general, the procedure is safe and effective and offers the advantage of being less invasive than conventional surgery. Complications after laparoscopy are uncommon but among them major vascular injury is potentially the most fatal, with recognition or mortality typically occurring intra-operatively or in the immediate post-operative period. We report the case of a delayed emergency department presentation of a major vascular injury after an elective laparoscopic tubal ligation. The prevalence, diagnosis, pathophysiolgy and management of major vascular injury after laparoscopic surgery is discussed.

T1 - Multiple genotypes of Chlamydia pneumoniae identified in human carotid plaque
AN - 17509750; 6399989
AB - Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular respiratory pathogen that causes 10% of community-acquired pneumonia and has been associated with cardiovascular disease. Both whole-genome sequencing and specific gene typing suggest that there is relatively little genetic variation in human isolates of C. pneumoniae. To date, there has been little genomic analysis of strains from human cardiovascular sites. The genotypes of C. pneumoniae present in human atherosclerotic carotid plaque were analysed and several polymorphisms in the variable domain 4 (VD4) region of the outer-membrane protein-A (ompA) gene and the intergenic region between the ygeD and uridine kinase (ygeD-urk) genes were found. While one genotype was identified that was the same as one reported previously in humans (respiratory and cardiovascular), another genotype was found that was identical to a genotype from non-human sources (frog/koala).

T1 - The energy cost of household and garden activities in 55- to 65-year-old males
AN - 17369106; 6436791
AB - This study measured the energy expenditure of four self-paced household and garden tasks to determine whether 55- to 65-year-old men performed them at a moderate intensity [3-6 metabolic equivalents (METs)] and to predict the activity intensity via indirect methods. Resting metabolic rate and oxygen consumption were measured using Douglas bags in 50 men ( X plus or minus SD: 60.6 plus or minus 3.2 years, 175.8 plus or minus 5.6 cm, 82.6 plus or minus 10.1 kg) who performed self-perceived moderate paced walking and self-paced sweeping, window cleaning, vacuuming and lawn mowing. Heart rate, CSA accelerometer counts (hip and arm), Quetelet's index, Borg rating of perceived exertion and respiratory frequency were measured as possible predictors of energy expenditure. Each of the four household and garden activities was performed at a mean intensity of greater than or equal to 3.0 METs in both the standardised laboratory environment (sweeping=3.4, window cleaning=3.8, vacuuming=3.0 and lawn mowing=5.3 METs) and the subjects' homes (sweeping=4.1, window cleaning=3.5, vacuuming=3.6 and lawn mowing=5.0 METs). Comparisons between the two settings were significantly different (p less than or equal to 0.008). Except for window cleaning, the MET values were not different from those of our previous younger sample (35-45 years). Regression analysis yielded prediction equations with 95% confidence intervals of plus or minus 0.8 METs for both the laboratory and home environments. Although the energy expenditure means for these activities indicate that they can contribute to the 30 min day super(-1) of moderate intensity physical activity required to confer health benefits, there was substantial inter-individual variability. While the regression equations lack predictive precision at the individual level, they were able to determine whether energy expenditure was above the 3.0 MET threshold with correct classification rates of 91% and 94% in the laboratory and home, respectively.

T1 - Predicting Walking METs and Energy Expenditure from Speed or Accelerometry
AN - 17351347; 6407976
AB - Compare the predictive potential of speed and CSA sub(hip) (Computer Science Applications accelerometer positioned on the hip) for level terrain walking METs (1 MET = VO sub(2) of 3.5 mL times kg super(-1) times min super(-1)) and energy expenditure (kcal times min super(-1)); b) cross-validate previously published CSA sub(hip)-and speed-based MET and energy expenditure prediction equations; c) measure self-paced walking speed, exercise intensity (METs) and energy expenditure in the middle aged population. Seventy-two 35- to 45-yr-old volunteers walked around a level, paved quadrangle at what they perceived to be a moderate pace. Oxygen consumption was measured using the criterion Douglas bag technique. Speed, CSA sub(hip), heart rate, and Borg rating of perceived exertion were also monitored. Speed explained 10% more variance of walking METs than CSA sub(hip). Speed and mass explained 8% more variance of walking energy expenditure (kcal times min super(-1)) than CSA sub(hip) and mass. The best previously published regression equations predict our walking METs and energy expenditures within 95% prediction limits of plus or minus 0.7 METs (8) and plus or minus 1.0 kcal times min super(-1) (23), respectively. Women paced themselves at a significantly higher mean speed (5.5 km times h super(-1)) and intensity (4.1 METs) than their male counterparts (5.2 km times h super(-1) and 3.8 METs). Both genders expended similar to 0.75 kcal times kg super(-1) for every kilometer of level terrain walked. Speed-based MET and energy expenditure predictions during level terrain walking were more accurate than those utilizing CSA sub(hip).

AB - The lack of accurate, quantitative measures of exposure and information about their relationship to one another and to disease are the greatest sources of uncertainty in epidemiologic studies. New technologies are now available for improving exposure assessment, however. Here, a brief review is provided of those technologies. Environmental exposure methods, including environmental sensors and geographic information system technology, are described, along with biologic exposure methods based on biologic sensors, toxicogenomics, and body-burden measurements. A conceptual framework for integrating these new technologies in human-health research is proposed, which identifies aspects of the study design and implementation where new approaches to exposure assessment can be incorporated to identify genetic variants of susceptibility, link genotype and phenotype data for targeted diseases and exposures, and assess the functional significance of targeted gene variants and their interactions.

T1 - Neurologic Symptoms in Licensed Private Pesticide Applicators in the Agricultural Health Study
AN - 14750075; 10686100
AB - Questionnaire data from the Agricultural Health Study, which is a large cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators and their spouses, were used for a cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between neurologic symptoms and several measures of pesticide exposure. The data were analyzed using linear regression for number of symptoms and logic regression for the dichotomous outcomes. Results indicated that symptom prevalence was greater among applicators who were from Iowa, had more than a high-school education, and drank more. In addition, applicators aged 6675 yr had 2.2 fewer symptoms and were half as likely to have greater than or equal to 10 symptoms than applicators aged 1830 yr. Both measures of symptom count were associated with overall pesticide use, and applicators who had ever sought medical attention for pesticide-related illness also experienced more symptoms than those who had not. Cumulative use of insecticides was associated with both measures of symptom count, with a pronounced doseresponse, while weaker associations of symptoms with cumulative herbicide, fungicide, and fumigant use were noted. Among insecticides, associations were strongest for organophosphates and organochlorines. Specific symptoms were also related to pesticide use.

T1 - Pesticide Testing on Human Subjects: Weighing Benefits and Risks
AN - 14749937; 10686091
AB - Two positions have emerged on the use of human subjects for pesticide testing, both by EPA and third-party researchers. One holds that no such testing should be permitted, and the other holds that experiments should be allowed under stringent scientific and ethical standards. Here, the strongest argument for prohibiting any testing of pesticides on human subjects, namely, that the benefits of the experiments are not significant enough to justify the risks posed to healthy subjects, is challenged by exploring the benefits of such testing and discussing the scientific necessity of some experiments. Finally, safety measures are proposed to minimize risks from the experiments.

T1 - Blood Lead Level and Risk of Asthma
AN - 14749860; 10686104
AB - Enrollees of a large, nonprofit managed care organization in southeastern Michigan were used as the base study population to examine relationships between blood lead level and the development of asthma, by race. Encounter and claims data were used. Chi-square tests were used to compare sex, race, and baseline income proportions for children included in the study with those of children excluded from the study because of lack of a recorded blood Pb level, and racial differences in the number of asthma cases were assessed using logistic regression for period prevalent cases and Cox proportional hazards for incident cases. Results showed that the overall mean blood Pb level for the entire sample was 4.7 mu g/dl, with African Americans having a higher mean level compared with Caucasians. African-American race, male sex, birth weight less than or equal to 2500 g, and annual income less than or equal to $10,027 were related significantly to prevalent asthma, and African-American race, male sex, and birth weight less than or equal to 2500 g were associated significantly with incident asthma. An elevated risk of asthma among children exposed to lead was observed, although the associations were not always statistically significant and were observed only for certain subgroups. An elevated risk of developing asthma was observed in Caucasian children with evidence of blood Pb levels greater than or equal to 5 mu g/dl before the age of 3 yr, but no such effect was observed in African-Americans.

T1 - Lipid Adjustment in the Analysis of Environmental Contaminants and Human Health Risks
AN - 14749261; 10686096
AB - Directed acyclic graphs were used to define a causal framework among PCB exposure, lipids, and health outcomes and values for parameters as informed by the literature. Simulations were performed to identify the best statistical model for each circumstance and the bias produced by a mismatch between the directed acyclic graphs and the statistical analysis. Four statistical models-unadjusted, standardized, adjusted, and two-stage-were evaluated, which are used commonly to assess the effects of lipophilic environmental contaminants on human health when relying on blood specimens for quantifying toxicant concentrations. Each model was found to have minimal bias for at least the causal truth for which it was ideally suited. However, the standardized model produced large biases for most of the evaluated directed acyclic graphs, while the adjusted model produced only a small bias.

T1 - Polychlorinated Biphenyls Disturb Differentiation of Normal Human Neural Progenitor Cells: Clue for Involvement of Thyroid Hormone Receptors
AN - 14749180; 10686099
AB - An in vitro model was established using primary normal human neural progenitor cells to explore whether PCBs interfere with thyroid hormone-dependent neural differentiation. PCB congener 118 with weak dioxin-like activity and PCB congener 126 with strong dioxin-like properties were used. Cultivation and molecular characterization of the normal human neural progenitor cells are described. Results showed that PCB 118 was a thyroid hormone disrupter of human neural development, but PCB 126 was not. The effect of PCB 118 exposure on oligodendrocyte differential was similar to the effect of triiodothyronine, possibly accounting for the observation that exposure to PCBs is linked to cognitive deficits in the human population.

T1 - Serum Dioxin Concentrations and Age at Menopause
AN - 14749144; 10686097
AB - The relationship of serum TCDD concentration and age of onset of natural menopause was examined in a population of 616 women residing near Seveso, Italy, in 1976 at the time of a chemical explosion that resulted in very high levels of TCDD exposure. Levels of serum TCDD were measured in blood collected between 1976 and 1977 for 564 women, between 1978 and 1882 for 28 women, and between 1996 and 1997 for 24 women. For the women who met the definition of natural menopause, age at last menstrual period was assigned as the age at menopause. Results suggested a nonmonotonic dose-related association of TCDD level in sera collected near the time of exposure with earlier onset of natural menopause, and the trend for increasing risk was observed with TCDD levels up to about 100 ppt. Nulliparity was associated with earlier natural menopause, and history of organochlorine exposure for at least 5 yr was associated with later natural menopause.

T1 - Changes in Levels of Nerve Growth Factor in Nasal Secretions After Capsaicin Inhalation in Patients with Airway Symptoms from Scents and Chemicals
AN - 14748549; 10686095
AB - Nerve growth factor (NGF) levels were measured in nasal lavage fluids of patients with sensory hyperreactivity (SHR) before and after capsaicin inhalation provocations, and the NGF levels were related to capsaicin cough sensitivity. The study subjects included 13 nonsmoking patients referred to an asthma and allergy outpatient clinic. Results showed that the patients with SHR exhibited enhanced cough sensitivity to inhaled capsaicin, which correlated to a small but significant increase in NGF in nasal lavage fluid after capsaicin provocation, indicating a neurochemical imbalance of the respiratory system in the patients. The basal levels of NGF were significantly lower in the patient group compared to controls, and in the patient group, there was a statistically significant correlation between the number of coughs after the highest inhaled capsaicin dose and the change in NGF levels in nasal lavage fluid after provocation. In addition, each of the symptom scores for throat irritation, phlegm, and rhinorrohea correlated significantly with the change in NGF levels.

T1 - Ushering in the New Toxicology: Toxicogenomics and the Public Interest
AN - 14748520; 10686092
AB - Despite recent advances in the science and technology of toxicogenomics tools, scientific and political complexities threaten to delay their use to further the public interest. To gain further insight into the scientific and political landscape of the new toxicology, interviews were conducted with 27 experts from a variety of disciplines and sectors to ascertain their views on the current status of the different fields within toxicogenomics. While the interviewees expressed widespread agreement that the new toxicology promises a significant increase in the amount of information available on the toxic effects of chemicals, several obstacles were identified, including: the limited ability of current toxicologic test batteries to assess subtle forms of toxicity that can occur at low doses; the need to refine computational methods to be able to analyze vast, complex data sets and generate sufficient data to be able to train predictive toxicology models; the inherent inertia of current toxicologic practices; and the issue of proprietary databases.

T1 - Vinyl Chloride: a Case Study of Data Suppression and Misrepresentation
AN - 14748407; 10686090
AB - The history of vinyl chloride regulation is chronicled briefly, and the EPA review of vinyl chloride toxicology, which was influenced largely by input from the chemical industry, is critiqued. Evidence has been found of vinyl chloride-induced liver cancer as well as hepatocellular carcinoma, brain tumors, lung tumors, and malignancies of the lymphatic and hematopoietic system. The EPA standard, however, is based on the overall risk of liver cancer, rather than on overall cancer risk, which leaves the public and exposed workers inadequately informed of the health threat posed by exposure to vinyl chloride-containing products, processes, and pollution.

T1 - Nanotoxicology: an Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles
AN - 14747764; 10686093
AB - An overview is provided of the risk of airborne nanosized particles (NSPs) exposure, which has increased dramatically because of anthropogenic sources. Considered in some detail are the physicochemical characteristics of NSPs as determinants of biological activity, ambient and occupational exposure to the particles due partly to the wider use of nanomaterials, the toxicology of airborne ultrafine particles, and the potential health effects of NSPs, citing research data gleaned from the literature. Described also are the portals of entry and target tissues, including the respiratory tract, and exposure via the gastrointestinal tract and skin. Finally, the difficult area of risk assessment for NSPs is explored.

T1 - Risk of Brain Tumors in Children and Susceptibility to Organophosphorus Insecticides: the Potential Role of Paraoxonase (PON1)
AN - 14747374; 10686106
AB - In selected subjects drawn from a previous casecontrol study, conducted in Washington State, in which cases had been diagnosed with primary tumors of the brain, cranial nerves, or meninges, two common paraoxonase 1 (PON1) polymorphisms, C-108T and Q192R, were examined in terms of whether they were associated with the occurrence of childhood brain tumors (CBTs). Chlorpyrifos and diazinon are metabolized in the body through the cytochrome P450/PON1 pathway. For 66 cases and 236 controls, DNA from neonatal screening archived specimens was used, linked to interview data on the in-home use of and exposure to chlorpyrifos and diazinon. Results suggested that having an inefficient PON1 promoter allele at the position -108 was associated with an increased risk of CBT, and the observed association was strongest with respect to primary neuroectodermal tumors, the CBT type associated most consistently with farm residence. Generally, CBT was not associated with the Q192R polymorphism.

T1 - Low-Level Environmental Lead Exposure and Children's Intellectual Function: an International Pooled Analysis
AN - 14746233; 10686103
AB - Data from seven international low-level environmental lead exposure studies were analyzed to estimate the quantitative relationship between children's performance on IQ tests and selected measures of blood Pb concentration among children followed prospectively from infancy through 510 yr of age. Evidence was found of Pb-related intellectual deficits among children who had maximal blood Pb levels <7.5 mu g/dl. A decline of 6.2 IQ points was observed for an increase in blood Pb levels from <1 to 10 mu g/dl, while IQ scores decreased 2.5 points for an increase in blood Pb concentrations from 10 to 30 mu g/dl. Concurrent blood Pb levels or average lifetime estimates of Pb exposures tended to be stronger predictors of Pb-associated intellectual deficits than maximal measured or early childhood blood Pb concentration.

T1 - Umbilical Cord Mercury Concentration as Biomarker of Prenatal Exposure to Methylmercury
AN - 14745490; 10686105
AB - In a birth cohort of 1022 subjects formed from consecutive births between March 1986 and December 1987 at three hospitals in the Faroe Islands, umbilical cord samples were analyzed for concentrations of mercury as a possible biomarker of prenatal exposure to methylmercury. Data on prenatal exposure were obtained from a questionnaire administered by the midwife that collected basic information on the general course of the pregnancy and nutritional habits. Hair samples were also analyzed. Correlations between the biomarkers showed that Hg concentrations in cord tissue and cord blood were associated closely, as were the two hair parameters. Results from a structural equation model showed that the cord-blood measurement was the most precise exposure marker.

T1 - Influence of Tap Water Quality and Household Water Use Activities on Indoor Air and Internal Dose Levels of Trihalomethanes
AN - 14745460; 10686098
AB - The relative contributions of showering and bathing, along with 12 other water-use activities, which are tabulated, to trihalomethane (THM) exposure were investigated in a household environment. The study was conducted at a single residence in each of two sites: North Carolina and Texas. Trihalomethane exposure data were collected over a 2-d period for each study participant, with the second day of the study occurring typically approximately one week after the first. Water and air samples were collected for analysis, and blood and breath samples were analyzed for levels of THM associated with each water use. Results showed that showering and bathing activities resulted consistently in at least twofold increases in median blood and exhaled breath total THM concentrations across the two study groups. A high degree of inter-participant variation in the increase due to hand dish-washing was observed. The results supported the findings from other studies that blood THM concentrations in response to equal or equivalent THM exposure appeared to be higher in some individuals than in others.

AN - 17375334; 6494464
AB - Recent studies have examined the potential of ultraviolet (UV, 254 nm) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 185 nm + 254 nm) irradiation as either a pretreatment for a biological process or as a sole treatment for the removal of natural organic matter as dissolved organic carbon from drinking water. To understand the potential of UV and VUV irradiation followed by subsequent biological treatment, treated water was fractionated into four components: very hydrophobic acid (VHA), slightly hydrophobic acid (SHA), hydrophilic charged (CHA), and hydrophilic neutral (NEU). The VHA fraction was found to be very susceptible to both UV and VUV irradiation, and the fragmentation products of the high molecular weight VHA and SHA molecules contributed to the CHA and NEU fractions to form a pool of biodegradable, non-UV-absorbing, low molecular weight moieties. The NEU fraction was the most difficult to remove, as most of the components in this fraction were refractory to both the biological and photo-oxidative processes. Therefore, enhanced removal of the NEU fraction is required to increase the effectiveness and potential of the treatment process.

T1 - Hsp90-Akt phosphorylates ASK1 and inhibits ASK1-mediated apoptosis.
AN - 67892578; 15782121
AB - Hsp90 client protein Akt has been shown to inhibit cell apoptosis in part by inhibiting proapoptotic kinase ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) activity. In the present study, we show that Hsp90 inhibits hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced ASK1-p38 activation in endothelial cells (EC). The inhibitory effect of Hsp90 on ASK1-p38 activities is diminished when the Akt phosphorylation site on ASK1 (pSer83) is absent or when Akt is genetically deleted in cells, suggesting that Hsp90 and Akt function together to inhibit ASK1-p38 signaling. Thus, inhibition of Hsp90 by 17-allyamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) LY294002 induced and synergized ASK1 activation and ASK1-mediated EC apoptosis. Furthermore, we show that in resting EC Hsp90, Akt and ASK1 form a ternary complex in which both Akt and ASK1 bind to the middle domain of Hsp90, suggesting that Hsp90 may hold Akt and ASK1 in close proximity. The N-terminal domain of ASK1 containing the Akt phosphorylation site (pSer83) associates with Akt in resting state. However, Akt is released from the N-terminal domain concomitant with binding to the C-terminal domain of ASK1 in response to ASK1 activator H(2)O(2), inhibitor of Hsp90 17-AAG and Akt inhibitor LY294002, leading to a more stable Hsp90-Akt-ASK1 complex. We conclude that Hsp90-Akt forms a complex with ASK1 and protect EC from stress-induced apoptosis.

T1 - Season-long variation in expression of Cry1Ac gene and efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis toxin in transgenic cotton against Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
AN - 68043765; 16022333
AB - The insertion of genes encoding insecticidal Cry1A delta-endotoxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner variety kurstaki (Bt) into varieties of cotton (Gossypium spp.) was undertaken to assist in the control of a range of lepidopteran pests. In Australia, where Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and Helicoverpa punctigera (Wallengren) are major pests, the level of control is useful, but not complete, because efficacy declines as the crop matures. Fluctuations in the efficacy of Bt cotton, to the extent that some insects survive, provide opportunities for H. armigera to develop resistance to the Bt toxin. Therefore, variations in the efficacy of Bt cotton need to be understood if we are to plan rational resistance management strategies to retard the rate of the development of resistance. We measured the changes in efficacy associated with plant development over the growing season, in the field and glasshouse. In addition, the levels of Cry1Ac protein toxin and cry1Ac RNA were determined. In this first demonstration of the relationship between these three factors, we found that the developmental decline in bioefficacy in field-grown plants was associated with reduced cry1Ac transcript levels and Bt toxin levels in postsquaring cotton. In addition, changes in plant chemistry associated with the maturation of the cotton plant were observed to contribute to changes in the efficacy of Bt toxin. Results from the field and glasshouse suggested that variations in efficacy within the growing season and between seasons also may be influenced by environmental factors.

T1 - Autoactive alleles of the flax L6 rust resistance gene induce non-race-specific rust resistance associated with the hypersensitive response.
AN - 67982426; 15986927
AB - L6 is a nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) gene that confers race-specific resistance in flax (Linum usitatissimum) to strains of flax rust (Melampsora lini) that carry avirulence alleles of the AvrL567 gene but not to rust strains that carry only the virulence allele. Several mutant and recombinant forms of L6 were made that altered either the methionine-histidine-aspartate (MHD) motif conserved in the NBS domain of resistance proteins or exchanged the short domain C-terminal to the LRR region that is highly variable among L allele products. In transgenic flax some of these alleles are autoactive; they cause a gene dosage-dependent dwarf phenotype and constitutive expression of genes that are markers for the plant defense response. Their effects and penetrance ranged from extreme to mild in their degree of plant stunting, survival, and reproduction. Dwarf plants were also resistant to flax rust strains virulent to wild-type L6 plants, and this nonspecific resistance was associated with a hypersensitive response (HR) at the site of rust infection. The strongest autoactive allele, expressed in Arabidopsis from an ethanol-inducible promoter, gave rise to plant death dependent on the enhanced disease susceptibility 1 (EDS1) gene, which indicates that the mutant flax (Linaceae) L6 gene can signal cell death through a defined disease-resistance pathway in a different plant family (Brassicaceae).

T1 - Combustion properties and desulfurization of high sulfur containing Indian and Nepali coals using lime-based products.
AN - 67981992; 15984809
AB - Many brick industries and industrial boilers in South Asia use high sulfur containing coal as the major fuel. The combustion of these coals leads to serious environmental pollution and health problems. The SO2 emissions from the combustion of coal can be captured by adding lime-based desulfurizing agents (DSA) to the coal briquettes. The physical and combustion characteristics of some Indian (Bihar, Assam) and Nepali (Dang, Abidhara, Lignite) coal have been studied. The process of desulfurization of these coals was investigated using calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate as DSA. Calcium carbonate is more efficient in char combustion than volatile combustion, whereas calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxides are efficient as DSA in both char and volatile combustion. For most of the coals the desulfurization efficiencies are over 80% in case of Ca(OH)2 and NaOH for molar ratios of DSA to sulfur (Ca/S) of 2 and 3. For the same Ca/S ratios the desulfurization efficiency is about 75% when calcium carbonate is used. Use of calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide as DSA in coal briquettes could be an efficient and economical way to control the pollution from the use of high sulfur containing coals used in brick industries in Nepal and South Asia.

T1 - Human retinal microglia express candidate receptors for HIV-1 infection.
AN - 67874573; 15923514
AB - Microglia are the primary antigen presenting cells in the central nervous system and the retina, and can harbour viral antigens that may damage neural tissue via the release of neurotoxins. All cells bearing CD4 molecules and co-receptors (members of the chemokine receptor and Fcgamma receptor families) are potential targets for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this study, retinal microglia (in vitro and in situ) were investigated for the expression of candidate HIV-1 binding receptors.
Cultured human retinal microglia and frozen sections of human retinas were used. Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate expression of cell surface receptors necessary for HIV-1 infection: CD4, CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), and Fcgamma receptors. Human retinal microglia expressed detectable levels of CD4, CD16, CD64, and CCR5 in vitro and Fcgamma receptor I (CD64) in situ.
Human retinal microglia express several candidate receptors required for viral binding and as such may be a potential reservoir for HIV-1 infection.

T1 - Progesterone increases plasma volume independent of estradiol.
AN - 67831895; 15718411
AB - Adequate plasma volume (PV) and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume are essential for blood pressure and fluid regulation. We tested the hypotheses that combined progesterone (P(4))-estrogen (E(2)) administration would increase ECF volume with proportional increases in PV, but that P(4) would have little independent effect on either PV or ECF volume. We further hypothesized that this P(4)-E(2)-induced fluid expansion would be a function of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system stimulation. We suppressed P(4) and E(2) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist in eight women (25 +/- 2 yr) for 16 days; P(4) (200 mg/day) was added for days 5-16 (P(4)) and 17beta-estradiol (2 x 0.1 mg/day patches) for days 13-16 (P(4)-E(2)). On days 2 (GnRH antagonist), 9 (P(4)), and 16 (P(4)-E(2)), we estimated ECF and PV. To determine the rate of protein and thus water movement across the ECF, we also measured transcapillary escape rate of albumin. In P(4), P([P(4)]) increased from 2.5 +/- 1.3 to 12.0 +/- 2.8 ng/ml (P < 0.05) with no change in P([E(2)]) (21.5 +/- 9.4 to 8.6 +/- 2.0 pg/ml). In P(4)-E(2), plasma concentration of P(4) remained elevated (11.3 +/- 2.7 ng/ml) and plasma concentration of E(2) increased to 254.1 +/- 52.7 pg/ml (P < 0.05). PV increased during P(4) (46.6 +/- 2.5 ml/kg) and P(4)-E(2) (48.4 +/- 3.9 ml/kg) compared with GnRH antagonist (43.3 +/- 3.2 ml/kg; P < 0.05), as did ECF (206 +/- 19, 244 +/- 25, and 239 +/- 27 ml/kg for GnRH antagonist, P(4), and P(4)-E(2), respectively; P < 0.05). Transcapillary escape rate of albumin was lowest during P(4)-E(2) (5.8 +/- 1.3, 3.5 +/- 1.7, and 2.2 +/- 0.4%/h for GnRH antagonist, P(4), and P(4)-E(2), respectively; P < 0.05). Serum aldosterone increased during P(4) and P(4)-E(2) compared with GnRH antagonist (79 +/- 17, 127 +/- 13, and 171 +/- 25 pg/ml for GnRH antagonist, P(4), and P(4)-E(2), respectively; P < 0.05), but plasma renin activity and plasma concentration of ANG II were only increased by P(4)-E(2). This study is the first to isolate P(4) effects on ECF; however, the mechanisms for the ECF and PV expansion have not been clearly defined.

T1 - Hydrolysis of pyrethroids by carboxylesterases from Lucilia cuprina and Drosophila melanogaster with active sites modified by in vitro mutagenesis.
AN - 67792764; 15857765
AB - The cloned genes encoding carboxylesterase E3 in the blowfly Lucilia cuprina and its orthologue in Drosophila melanogaster were expressed in Sf9 cells transfected with recombinant baculovirus. Resistance of L. cuprina to organophosphorus insecticides is due to mutations in the E3 gene that enhance the enzyme's ability to hydrolyse insecticides. Previous in vitro mutagenesis and expression of these modifications (G137D, in the oxyanion hole and W251L, in the acyl pocket) have confirmed their functional significance. We have systematically substituted these and nearby amino acids by others expected to affect the hydrolysis of pyrethroid insecticides. Most mutations of G137 markedly decreased pyrethroid hydrolysis. W251L was the most effective of five substitutions at this position. It increased activity with trans permethrin 10-fold, and the more insecticidal cis permethrin >130-fold, thereby decreasing the trans:cis hydrolysis ratio to only 2, compared with >25 in the wild-type enzyme. Other mutations near the bottom of the catalytic cleft generally enhanced pyrethroid hydrolysis, the most effective being F309L, also in the presumptive acyl binding pocket, which enhanced trans permethrin hydrolysis even more than W251L. In these assays with racemic 1RS cis and 1RS trans permethrin, two phases were apparent, one being much faster suggesting preferential hydrolysis of one enantiomer in each pair as found previously with other esterases. Complementary assays with individual enantiomers of deltamethrin and the dibromo analogue of cis permethrin showed that the wild type and most mutants showed a marked preference for the least insecticidal 1S configuration, but this was reversed by the F309L substitution. The W251L/F309L double mutant was best overall in hydrolysing the most insecticidal 1R cis isomers. The results are discussed in relation to likely steric effects on enzyme-substrate interactions, cross-resistance between pyrethroids and malathion, and the potential for bioremediation of pyrethroid residues.

T1 - Knowledge management and the role of libraries.
AN - 57612980; 00489201
AB - The development of knowledge management in recent years has become the key concern for librarians and libraries. This paper will review the development of knowledge management and will compare the differences between information and knowledge as well as between information management and knowledge management. It will also examine the role of librarians/libraries in knowledge management and suggests that librarians/libraries in the digital and knowledge age should be in charge of knowledge management in their respective organizations in order to leverage the intellectual assets and to facilitate knowledge creation.

T1 - Occupational Bladder Cancer in a 4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA)-Exposed Worker
AN - 21429134; 12466658
AB - A 52-year-old male chemical worker was admitted to the hospital with a history of paroxysmal microscopic hematuria for about 2 years and nocturia with gross hematuria about five times per night for 2 months. He was a nonsmoker and denied a history of any other bladder carcinogen exposure except for occasional pesticide application during agricultural work. Intravenous urogram imaging showed a mass occupying half of the bladder capacity. Cystoscopy revealed a mass over the left dome of the bladder. Cystoscopic biopsy revealed a grade 3 invasive transitional cell carcinoma with marked necrosis. From 1987 until hospital admission in 2001, the patient had worked in a company that produced the 4,4 -methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA) curing agent. He did not wear any personal protective equipment during work. Ambient air MBOCA levels in the purification process area (0.23-0.41 mg/m3) exceeded the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's permissible exposure level. Urinary MBOCA levels (267.9-15701.1 microg/g creatinine) far exceeded the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration's reference value of 100 microg/L. This patient worked in the purification process with occupational exposure to MBOCA for 14 years. According to the environmental and biologic monitoring data and latency period, and excluding other potential bladder carcinogen exposure, this worker was diagnosed as having occupational bladder cancer due to high exposure to MBOCA through inhalation or dermal absorption in the purification area. This case finding supports that MBOCA is a potential human carcinogen. Safe use of skin-protective equipment and respirators is required to prevent workers from MBOCA exposure.

T1 - Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Associated with Environmental Mycobacteria
AN - 21425416; 12466653
AB - A previously healthy man working as a machine operator in an automotive factory developed respiratory symptoms. Medical evaluation showed abnormal pulmonary function tests, a lung biopsy showed hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and his illness was traced to his work environment. His physician asked the employer to remove him from exposure to metalworking fluids. Symptoms reoccurred when he was later reexposed to metalworking fluids, and further permanent decrement in his lung function occurred. Investigation of his workplace showed that five of six large reservoirs of metalworking fluids (cutting oils) grew Mycobacterium chelonae (or Mycobacterium immunogenum), an organism previously associated with outbreaks of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in automaking factories. His lung function remained stable after complete removal from exposure. The employer, metalworking fluid supplier, union, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health were notified of this sentinel health event. No further cases have been documented in this workplace.

T1 - NIEHS Priorities: The Process of Strategic Planning
AN - 21425361; 12466119
AB - As we work to move the NIEHS forward, it is important that we critically consider how our research can have the greatest impact on public health. In last month's Director's Perspective, I identified my overarching vision for the NIEHS: to improve human health by elucidating the complex relationship between endogenous and exogenous risks within populations and affected individuals, how environmental exposures affect human biology, and how this knowledge can be used to reduce morbidity and extend longevity. Fundamental to this vision is an emphasis on human health and disease.

T1 - Effects of Ambient Ozone Exposure on Mail Carriers' Peak Expiratory Flow Rates
AN - 21421129; 12466663
AB - The extent to which occupational exposure to ozone in ambient air can affect lung function remains unclear. We conducted a panel study in 43 mail carriers by measuring their peak expiratory flow rates (PEFRs) twice daily for 6 weeks in 2001. The daily exposure of each mail carrier to O3, particulate matter 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), and nitrogen dioxide was estimated by one air monitoring station in the center of the mail carrier's delivery area. Hourly concentrations of air pollutants during their exposure periods were 6-96 ppb for O3, 11-249 microg/m3 for PM10, and 14-92 ppb for NO2. Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate the association between air pollution exposures and PEFR after adjusting for subject's sex, age, and disease status and for temperature and humidity. We found that night PEFR and the deviation in night PEFR were significantly decreased in association with 8-hr O3 exposures with a lag 0-2 days and by daily maximum O3 exposures with a lag of 0-1 day in our multipollutant models. By contrast, neither PM10 nor NO2 was associated with a PEFR reduction. Daily 8-hr mean concentrations of O3 had greater reduction effects on PEFR than did daily maximum concentrations. For a 10-ppb increase in the 8-hr average O3 concentration, the night PEFR was decreased by 0.54% for a 0-day lag, 0.69% for a 1-day lag, and 0.52% for a 2-day lag. We found that an acute lung function reduction occurs in mail carriers exposed to O3 concentrations below current ambient air quality standards and occupational exposure limits.

T1 - Discovery of Novel Biomarkers by Microarray Analysis of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Gene Expression in Benzene-Exposed Workers
AN - 21421060; 12466651
AB - Benzene is an industrial chemical and component of gasoline that is an established cause of leukemia. To better understand the risk benzene poses, we examined the effect of benzene exposure on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression in a population of shoe-factory workers with well-characterized occupational exposures using microarrays and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PBMC RNA was stabilized in the field and analyzed using a comprehensive human array, the U133A/B Affymetrix GeneChip set. A matched analysis of six exposed-control pairs was performed. A combination of robust multiarray analysis and ordering of genes using paired t-statistics, along with bootstrapping to control for a 5% familywise error rate, was used to identify differentially expressed genes in a global analysis. This resulted in a set of 29 known genes being identified that were highly likely to be differentially expressed. We also repeated these analyses on a smaller subset of 508 cytokine probe sets and found that the expression of 19 known cytokine genes was significantly different between the exposed and the control subjects. Six genes were selected for confirmation by real-time PCR, and of these, CXCL16, ZNF331, JUN, and PF4 were the most significantly affected by benzene exposure, a finding that was confirmed in a larger data set from 28 subjects. The altered expression was not caused by changes in the makeup of the PBMC fraction. Thus, microarray analysis along with real-time PCR confirmation reveals that altered expressions of CXCL16, ZNF331, JUN, and PF4 are potential biomarkers of benzene exposure.

T1 - Seasonality and Children's Blood Lead Levels: Developing a Predictive Model Using Climatic Variables and Blood Lead Data from Indianapolis, Indiana, Syracuse, New York, and New Orleans, Louisiana (USA)
AN - 21415927; 12466656
AB - On a community basis, urban soil contains a potentially large reservoir of accumulated lead. This study was undertaken to explore the temporal relationship between pediatric blood lead (BPb), weather, soil moisture, and dust in Indianapolis, Indiana; Syracuse, New York; and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Indianapolis, Syracuse, and New Orleans pediatric BPb data were obtained from databases of 15,969, 14,467, and 2,295 screenings, respectively, collected between December 1999 and November 2002, January 1994 and March 1998, and January 1998 and May 2003, respectively. These average monthly child BPb levels were regressed against several independent variables: average monthly soil moisture, particulate matter 10 microm in diameter (PM10), wind speed, and temperature. Of temporal variation in urban children's BPb, 87% in Indianapolis (R2 = 0.87, p = 0.0004), 61% in Syracuse (R2 = 0.61, p = 0.0012), and 59% in New Orleans (R2 = 0.59, p = 0.0000078) are explained by these variables. A conceptual model of urban Pb poisoning is suggested: When temperature is high and evapotranspiration maximized, soil moisture decreases and soil dust is deposited. Under these combined weather conditions, Pb-enriched PM10 dust disperses in the urban environment and causes elevated Pb dust loading. Thus, seasonal variation of children's Pb exposure is probably caused by inhalation and ingestion of Pb brought about by the effect of weather on soils and the resulting fluctuation in Pb loading.

T1 - Perinatal Exposure to Low Levels of the Environmental Antiandrogen Vinclozolin Alters Sex-Differentiated Social Play and Sexual Behaviors in the Rat
AN - 21409429; 12466664
AB - In this study we examined the effects of exposure to the antiandrogenic fungicide vinclozolin (Vz) on the development of two sex-differentiated behaviors that are organized by the perinatal actions of androgens. Pregnant Long-Evans rats were administered a daily oral dose of 0, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 mg/kg Vz from the 14th day of gestation through postnatal day (PND)3. The social play behavior of juvenile offspring was examined on PND22 and again on PND34 during play sessions with a same-sex littermate. After they reached adulthood, the male offspring were examined with the ex copula penile reflex procedure to assess erectile function. Vz did not produce any gross maternal or neonatal toxicity, nor did it reduce the anogenital distance in male pups. We observed no effects of Vz on play behavior on PND22. However, the 12-mg/kg Vz dose significantly increased play behavior in the male offspring on PND34 compared with controls. The most dramatic increases were seen with the nape contact and pounce behavior components of play. The Vz effect was more pronounced in male than in female offspring. As adults, male offspring showed a significant reduction of erections at all dose levels during the ex copula penile reflex tests. The 12-mg/kg dose was also associated with an increase in seminal emissions. These effects demonstrate that perinatal Vz disrupts the development of androgen-mediated behavioral functions at exposure levels that do not produce obvious structural changes or weight reductions in androgen-sensitive reproductive organs.

T1 - Intracellular Calcium Disturbances Induced by Arsenic and Its Methylated Derivatives in Relation to Genomic Damage and Apoptosis Induction
AN - 21407524; 12466673
AB - Arsenic and its methylated derivatives are contaminants of air, water, and food and are known as toxicants and carcinogens. Arsenic compounds are also being used as cancer chemotherapeutic agents. In humans, inorganic arsenic is metabolically methylated to mono-, di-, and trimethylated forms. Recent findings suggest that the methylation reactions represent a toxification rather than a detoxification pathway. In recent years, the correlation between arsenic exposure, cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and tumor promotion has been established, as well as the association of arsenic exposure with perturbation of physiologic processes, generation of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, and apoptosis induction. Trivalent forms of arsenic have been found to induce apoptosis in several cellular systems with involvement of membrane-bound cell death receptors, activation of caspases, release of calcium stores, and changes of the intracellular glutathione level. It is well known that calcium ion deregulation plays a critical role in apoptotic cell death. A calcium increase in the nuclei might lead to toxic effects in the cell. In this review, we highlight the relationship between induced disturbances of calcium homeostasis, genomic damage, and apoptotic cell death caused by arsenic and its organic derivatives.

T1 - Climate Factors Influencing Coccidioidomycosis Seasonality and Outbreaks
AN - 21407478; 12466665
AB - Although broad links between climatic factors and coccidioidomycosis have been established, the identification of simple and robust relationships linking climatic controls to seasonal timing and outbreaks of the disease has remained elusive. Using an adaptive data-oriented method for estimating date of exposure, in this article I analyze hypotheses linking climate and dust to fungal growth and dispersion, and evaluate their respective roles for Pima County, Arizona. Results confirm a strong bimodal disease seasonality that was suspected but not previously seen in reported data. Dispersion-related conditions are important predictors of coccidioidomycosis incidence during fall, winter, and the arid foresummer. However, precipitation during the normally arid foresummer 1.5-2 years before the season of exposure is the dominant predictor of the disease in all seasons, accounting for half of the overall variance. Cross-validated models combining antecedent and concurrent conditions explain 80% of the variance in coccidioidomycosis incidence. .

T1 - Reducing Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water: Different Settings Call for Different Approaches
AN - 21386809; 12466679
AB - On 1 January 2006, a new U.S. drinking water standard of 10 microg arsenic/L will come into effect [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2001a). We strongly support the U.S. EPA's decision to lower the allowable limit of As in drinking water from 50 microg/L to 10 microg/L because it promises to reduce the risk of an array of adverse health outcomes attributable to As exposure, notably various cancers and cardiovascular and neurologic diseases.

T1 - Sustained Exposure to the Widely Used Herbicide Atrazine: Altered Function and Loss of Neurons in Brain Monoamine Systems
AN - 21386642; 12466667
AB - The widespread use of atrazine (ATR) and its persistence in the environment have resulted in documented human exposure. Alterations in hypothalamic catecholamines have been suggested as the mechanistic basis of the toxicity of ATR to hormonal systems in females and the reproductive tract in males. Because multiple catecholamine systems are present in the brain, however, ATR could have far broader effects than are currently understood. Catecholaminergic systems such as the two major long-length dopaminergic tracts of the central nervous system play key roles in mediating a wide array of critical behavioral functions. In this study we examined the hypothesis that ATR would adversely affect these brain dopaminergic systems. Male rats chronically exposed to 5 or 10 mg/kg ATR in the diet for 6 months exhibited persistent hyperactivity and altered behavioral responsivity to amphetamine. Moreover, when measured 2 weeks after the end of exposure, the levels of various monoamines and the numbers of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH+) and -negative (TH-) cells measured using unbiased stereology were reduced in both dopaminergic tracts. Acute exposures to 100 or 200 mg/kg ATR given intraperitoneally to evaluate potential mechanisms reduced both basal and potassium-evoked striatal dopamine release. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that ATR can produce neurotoxicity in dopaminergic systems that are critical to the mediation of movement as well as cognition and executive function. Therefore, ATR may be an environmental risk factor contributing to dopaminergic system disorders, underscoring the need for further investigation of its mechanism(s) of action and corresponding assessment of its associated human health risks.

T1 - Embedded Weapons-Grade Tungsten Alloy Shrapnel Rapidly Induces Metastatic High-Grade Rhabdomyosarcomas in F344 Rats
AN - 21386603; 12466659
AB - Continuing concern regarding the potential health and environmental effects of depleted uranium and lead has resulted in many countries adding tungsten alloy (WA)-based munitions to their battlefield arsenals as replacements for these metals. Because the alloys used in many munitions are relatively recent additions to the list of militarily relevant metals, very little is known about the health effects of these metals after internalization as embedded shrapnel. Previous work in this laboratory developed a rodent model system that mimicked shrapnel loads seen in wounded personnel from the 1991 Persian Gulf War. In the present study, we used that system and male F344 rats, implanted intramuscularly with pellets (1 mm times 2 mm cylinders) of weapons-grade WA, to simulate shrapnel wounds. Rats were implanted with 4 (low dose) or 20 pellets (high dose) of WA. Tantalum (20 pellets) and nickel (20 pellets) served as negative and positive controls, respectively. The high-dose WA-implanted rats (n = 46) developed extremely aggressive tumors surrounding the pellets within 4-5 months after implantation. The low-dose WA-implanted rats (n = 46) and nickel-implanted rats (n = 36) also developed tumors surrounding the pellets but at a slower rate. Rats implanted with tantalum (n = 46), an inert control metal, did not develop tumors. Tumor yield was 100% in both the low- and high-dose WA groups. The tumors, characterized as high-grade pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas by histopathology and immunohistochemical examination, rapidly metastasized to the lung and necessitated euthanasia of the animal. Significant hematologic changes, indicative of polycythemia, were also observed in the high-dose WA-implanted rats. These changes were apparent as early as 1 month postimplantation in the high-dose WA rats, well before any overt signs of tumor development. These results point out the need for further studies investigating the health effects of tungsten and tungsten-based alloys.

AB - At least once a week, I need a brief account of an environmental health area that falls outside my specialty. At those times, I usually am more likely to find what I need in Moeller's second edition (1997) than in any of my other reference books. This third edition maintains the strengths of the two earlier editions: brief and clear presentations and broad coverage of environmental health.

T1 - From Point B To Point A: Applying Toxicogenomics to Biological Inference
AN - 21376818; 12466676
AB - Integrated toxicogenomics experiments generate enormous amounts of data that require interdisciplinary teams of scientists to interpret. One goal of this interpretation is the identification of cause-and-effect links between data points and exposures, a goal that requires using known information to help characterize new data. For such work to truly progress, there is a need for technologies to detect proteins, transcripts, and metabolites. Researchers must also choose from a variety of statistical methods to analyze the data gathered, and exercise care in normalizing the gene signals in each array so that they can be interpreted accurately.

AB - Arsenic has been known through the ages as the "king of poisons." Today, it continues to be a bane to millions around the world who must deal with the serious health problems caused by chronic exposure to it, most often through contaminated drinking water. There also is growing evidence that arsenic may work with other cofactors to initiate disease. Scientists are working to find out how arsenic causes cancer and other diseases, why people with similar exposures may have different disease outcomes, and how arsenic may impact the young more severely than it does adults. Meanwhile, policy makers struggle to set regulatory standards that keep populations safe.

T1 - Association of Air Pollution with Increased Incidence of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Recorded by Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillators
AN - 21373662; 12466672
AB - Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a consistent link between sudden cardiac deaths and particulate air pollution. We used implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) records of ventricular tachyarrhythmias to assess the role of air pollution as a trigger of these potentially life-threatening events. The study cohort consisted of 203 cardiac patients with ICD devices in the Boston metropolitan area who were followed for an average of 3.1 years between 1995 and 2002. Fine particle mass and gaseous air pollution plus temperature and relative humidity were measured on almost all days, and black carbon, sulfate, and particle number on a subset of days. Date, time, and intracardiac electrograms of ICD-detected arrhythmias were downloaded at the patients' regular follow-up visits (about every 3 months). Ventricular tachyarrhythmias were identified by electrophysiologist review. Risk of ventricular arrhythmias associated with air pollution was estimated with logistic regression, adjusting for season, temperature, relative humidity, day of the week, patient, and a recent prior arrhythmia. We found increased risks of ventricular arrhythmias associated with 2-day mean exposure for all air pollutants considered, although these associations were not statistically significant. We found statistically significant associations between air pollution and ventricular arrhythmias for episodes within 3 days of a previous arrhythmia. The associations of ventricular tachyarrhythmias with fine particle mass, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and black carbon suggest a link with motor vehicle pollutants. The associations with sulfate suggest a link with stationary fossil fuel combustion sources.

T1 - Feasibility of Using Subject-Collected Dust Samples in Epidemiologic and Clinical Studies of Indoor Allergens
AN - 21373609; 12466669
AB - Studies of indoor allergen exposures are often limited by the cost and logistics of sending technicians to homes to collect dust. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of having subjects collect their own dust samples. The objectives were to compare allergen concentrations between subject- and technician-collected samples and to examine the sample return rate. Using a dust collection device and written instructions provided to them by mail, 102 subjects collected a combined dust sample from a bed and bedroom floor. Later the same day, a technician collected a side-by-side sample. Dust samples were weighed and analyzed for the cat allergen Fel d 1 and the dust mite allergen Der p 1. Fifty additional subjects who were enrolled by telephone were mailed dust collection packages and asked to return a dust sample and questionnaire by mail. A technician did not visit their homes. Correlations between subject- and technician-collected samples were strong for concentrations of Fel d 1 (r = 0.88) and Der p 1 (r = 0.87). With allergen concentrations dichotomized at lower limits of detection and clinically relevant thresholds, agreements between methodologies ranged from 91 to 98%. Although dust weights were correlated (r = 0.48, p 0.001), subjects collected lighter samples. Among the group of 50 subjects, 46 returned a dust sample and completed questionnaire. The median number of days to receive a sample was 15. With some limitations, subject-collected dust sampling appears to be a valid and practical option for epidemiologic and clinical studies that report allergen concentration as a measure of exposure.

T1 - Analysis of an integrated model for assessing land and water policy options
AN - 20721745; 6449632
AB - This paper outlines results of a sensitivity analysis on a model developed to examine water policy and land use change options in the Yass River catchment, NSW. The model has three integrated components consisting of policy, hydrological and agricultural production system models. The sensitivity analysis involved running variables in the model over a broad range of values to examine the response of model outputs. For ease of interpretation, three indicators were used to examine the model output: the number of zero flow days; the median of non-zero flows; agricultural profit. The analysis shows that the model is sensitive to changes in inputs to all component models. But the sensitivity of the model varies depending on whether the input selected has a direct or indirect effect on other system components. Sensitivity analysis of the integrated model illustrates the response of the integrated model when assessing those land and water policy options selected for analysis, and highlights the plausibility of the model results and limitations in applying the model as a decision support tool for policy analysis.

T1 - Crises in clinical care: an approach to management
AN - 19587624; 8747560
AB - A "crisis" in health care is "the point in the course of a disease at which a decisive change occurs, leading either to recovery or to death". The daunting challenges faced by clinicians when confronted with a crisis are illustrated by a tragic case in which a teenage boy died after a minor surgical procedure. Crises are challenging for reasons which include: presentation with non-specific signs or symptoms, interaction of complex factors, progressive evolution, new situations, "revenge effects", inadequate assistance, and time constraints. In crises, clinicians often experience anxiety- and overload-induced performance degradation, tend to use "frequency gambling", run out of "rules" and have to work from first principles, and are prone to "confirmation bias". The effective management of crises requires formal training, usually simulator-based, and ideally in the inter-professional groups who will need to function as a team. "COVER ABCD-A SWIFT CHECK" is a precompiled algorithm which can be applied quickly and effectively to facilitate a systematic and effective response to the wide range of potentially lethal problems which may occur suddenly in anaesthesia. A set of 25 articles describing additional precompiled responses collated into a manual for the management of any crisis under anaesthesia has been published electronically as companion papers to this article. This approach to crisis management should be applied to other areas of clinical medicine as well as anaesthesia.

T1 - Crisis management during anaesthesia: recovering from a crisis
AN - 19551779; 8747585
AB - Preventing harm to the patient is the priority during a crisis. After a major incident, and especially when a patient has been harmed, there are a number of matters to be addressed: the ongoing care of the patient; documentation of the incident; investigation of the root causes; completion of reports; interviews with the patient and/or the next of kin, together with apologies and expression of regret; updates and ongoing support for friends and relatives; a word of thanks to the staff involved for their assistance; formal debriefing of staff for quality assurance and possibly ongoing support and a separate debriefing for psychological purposes; ensuring that the recommendations of the root cause analysis are carried out; or, failing that, that the issues are logged on a risk register. The extent and depth of the follow up protocol depends on what, if any, harm may have been done. This may constitute completion of an incident report; notification of an equipment failure to a federal regulatory authority; arranging consultations with a mental health professional to manage psychological sequelae (especially following an awareness episode); follow up during weeks of intensive care treatment; or, when a death has occurred, a full medico-legal and/or coronial set of procedures. A precis is appended in an action card format.

T1 - Particle and carbon dioxide emissions from passenger vehicles operating on unleaded petrol and LPG fuel
AN - 19442393; 6668694
AB - A comprehensive study of the particle and carbon dioxide emissions from a fleet of six dedicated liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) powered and five unleaded petrol (ULP) powered new Ford Falcon Forte passenger vehicles was carried out on a chassis dynamometer at four different vehicle speeds - 0 (idle), 40, 60, 80 and 100 km h super(-1). Emission factors and their relative values between the two fuel types together with a statistical significance for any difference were estimated for each parameter. In general, LPG was found to be a 'cleaner' fuel, although in most cases, the differences were not statistically significant owing to the large variations between emissions from different vehicles. The particle number emission factors ranged from 10 super(11) to 10 super(13) km super(-1) and was over 70% less with LPG compared to ULP. Corresponding differences in particle mass emission factor between the two fuels were small and ranged from the order of 10 mu g km super(-1) at 40 to about 1000 mu g km super(-1) at 100 km h super(-1). The count median particle diameter (CMD) ranged from 20 to 35 nm and was larger with LPG than with ULP in all modes except the idle mode. Carbon dioxide emission factors ranged from about 300 to 400 g km super(-1) at 40 km h super(-1), falling with increasing speed to about 200 g km super(-1) at 100 km h super(-1). At all speeds, the values were 10% to 18% greater with ULP than with LPG.

T1 - The quality of release habitat for reared juvenile flounder, Platichthys flesus, with respect to salinity and depth
AN - 17613399; 6230602
AB - One prerequisite for a successful stocking programme is the choice of an appropriate release site, which would ensure good growth, survival and recruitment to the local fishery. The influence of different salinity regimes on habitat quality for juvenile flounder, Platichthys flesus (L.), was examined in Danish inshore waters using enclosures to study growth and survival. Three locations were chosen: Virksund (V) - constant low salinity at 10ppt; Harre Vig (HV) - constant high salinity at 24ppt; and Hjerk Nor - variable salinity, 0-25ppt. Fish movement was examined, using a diffusion model, at the first two sites. At HV the fish had unrestricted dispersal opportunity resulting in average individual movement of 45 m day super(-1). Fish at V were restricted in dispersal in one direction because of a dam, about which they would concentrate under certain hydrographical conditions. Growth was highest at the locations with stable salinity and mortality highest at the location with variable salinity.

T1 - Importance of large colony size for successful invasion by Argentine ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Evidence for biotic resistance by native ants
AN - 17538248; 6406457
AB - The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), is a widespread invasive ant species that has been associated with losses of native ant species and other invertebrates from its introduced range. To date, various abiotic conditions have been associated with limitations to the spread of Argentine ants, however, competitive interactions with native ant fauna may also affect the spread of Argentine ants. Here, we experimentally manipulated colony sizes of Argentine ants in the laboratory to assess whether Argentine ants were able to survive and compete for resources with a widespread, dominant native ant, Iridomyrmex'rufoniger'. The results showed that over 24 h, the proportions of Argentine ants that were alive, at baits, and at sugar water decreased significantly in the presence of Iridomyrmex. In addition, Argentine ant mortality increased over time, however, the proportion of the colony that was dead decreased with the largest colony size. Argentine ants were only able to overcome Iridomyrmex when their colony sizes were 5-10 times greater than those of the native ants. We also conducted trials in which colonies of Argentine ants of varying sizes were introduced to artificial baits occupied by Iridomyrmex in the field. The results showed that larger Argentine ant colonies significantly affected the foraging success of Iridomyrmex after the initial introduction (5 min). However, over the first 20 min, when the Argentine ants were present at the baits, and over the entire 50 min experimental period, the numbers of Iridomyrmex at baits did not differ significantly with the size of the Argentine ant colony. This is the first experimental study to investigate the role of colony size in the invasion biology of Argentine ants in Australia, and the results suggest that Iridomyrmex may reduce the spread of Argentine ants, and that Argentine ants may need to attain large colony sizes in order to survive in the presence of Iridomyrmex. We address the implications of these findings for the invasion success of Argentine ants in Australia, and discuss the ability of Argentine ants to attain large colony sizes in introduced areas.

AB - Sport tourism activity has substantial potential to enrich the lives of the members of the host community by enhancing economic prosperity, providing additional social and recreational opportunities, and the development of new infrastructure. However, if poorly managed, such activities may also generate negative externalities such as disruption, noise and environmental damage. This essay outlines some of the theories and methods that are relevant to a greater understanding of the impact of sport tourism on a host community and how such impacts may be better managed to ensure the sustainability of the activity. It also presents the results of a series of empirical case studies exploring the impact of large scale sporting events.

T1 - An Assessment of the Valuation Methods Used to Calculate the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW), Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), and Sustainable Net Benefit Index (SNBI)
AN - 17112412; 6734310
AB - For some time now, ecological economists have been putting forward a 'threshold hypothesis' - the notion that when macroeconomic systems expand beyond a certain size, the additional cost of growth exceeds the flow of additional benefits. In order to support their belief, ecological economists have developed a number of similar indexes to measure and compare the benefits and costs of growth (e.g., the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare and the Genuine Progress Indicator). In virtually every instance where an index of this type has been calculated for a particular country, the movement of the index appears to reinforce the existence of the threshold hypothesis. Of late, a number of observers have expressed concerns about whether these alternative indexes reflect concrete reality or the prejudices of ecological economists. In view of these concerns, this paper closely examines the valuation methods used in the calculation the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare, the Genuine Progress Indicator, and the Sustainable Net Benefit Index. It is argued that a consistent and more robust set of valuation techniques is required in order for these alternative indexes to gain broad acceptability.

T1 - Modeling of Aerosol Dispersion from a Busy Road in the Presence of Nanoparticle Fragmentation
AN - 16208676; 6387567
AB - A simple semianalytical model of dispersion of nanoparticle aerosols from a busy road in the presence of intensive particle fragmentation is developed. In particular, it is predicted that the total number concentration may be characterized by a significant maximum at an optimal distance from the road. Simple analytical existence conditions of such a maximum are derived. Applicability conditions for the model and the effect of turbulent diffusion and dry deposition of nanoparticles on the theoretical predictions are also discussed. As a result of the comparison of the theoretical predictions with the experimental results on the total number concentration as a function of distance from the road, the typical fragmentation rate coefficient has been determined as approximately 0.086 s-1, with an estimated error of similar to 30%.

T1 - Column-mode phosphate removal by a novel highly selective adsorbent
AN - 16197756; 6453745
AB - A phosphoric acid resin RGP was immobilized with zirconium(IV) (Zr(IV)) to investigate its applicability in phosphate removal. When loaded with Zr(IV), RGP was changed into an effective ligand exchanger with phosphate sorption capacity of 0.345 mmol/ml. Little metal leakage was observed. Breakthrough of phosphate sorption depended on solution acidity and phosphate concentration. An increase of solution pH greatly suppressed phosphate removal, but even at pH 8.21, about 56% of the added phosphate (2.8 mM) in the feed solution could still be sorbed. Electrolytes in the aqueous solution did not interfere with phosphate sorption; on the contrary, an enhancement effect was observed. Due to the high sorption capacity of Zr(IV)-loaded RGP, low concentration of phosphate can be removed at high flow rate (100 h super(-1) in space velocity). The sorbed phosphate on the Zr(IV)-loaded RGP could be quantitatively eluted with 0.5 M sodium hydroxide solution. The Zr(IV)-loaded RGP is a promising ligand exchanger for treating wastewater containing trace amounts of inorganic phosphate.

T1 - FUERO: foundations of a fuzzy exploratory model for soil erosion hazard prediction
AN - 16185202; 6135078
AB - This paper describes the foundations of FUERO, a FUzzy exploratory model for soil EROsion hazard prediction, which explores cause-effect relationships on the basis of general knowledge about causes and specific relations between processes and indicators of soil erosion. The model was designed to investigate the susceptibility of specific areas of a landscape to erosion by incorporating expert knowledge, in the sense that information on soil properties and/or landscape elements assumed to control accelerated soil erosion could be incorporated into the modelling process. Fuzzification of the landscape elements used in modelling the likelihood of an area to be affected by different degrees of erosion was done using a Fuzzy Semantic Import Modelling approach. Fuzzy min- max operators were used within a GI System for determining the likelihood an area to low, moderate or high erosion hazard. Although the model provides qualitative estimations, it showed very useful to explore indicators-causes- processes relationships. In addition, it allowed testing the importance of individual landscape elements related to soil erosion and selection of those that best predict soil erosion over a particular area.

T1 - Exposure Among Pregnant Women near the World Trade Center Site on 11 September 2001
AN - 14741903; 10683024
AB - For 187 pregnant women located within or near the World Trade Center on or about September 11, 2001, air-pollution exposures were characterized and estimated using questionnaires and a timeactivity log. Blood and urine samples were obtained beginning in February 2002, and a daily dust exposure index was estimated for each woman derived by reconstructing the post-September 11 World Trade Center plume using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System/Hybrid Particle and Concentration Transport model. The predominant air pollutant following the terrorist attack was PM sub(10), and concentrations remained high during subsequent site operations, especially close to the World Trade Center. The dust levels declined over the subsequent one to four weeks, and the women gradually returned to the area for longer time periods. The highest levels of PAH-DNA adducts were found in women whose blood was collected closest to September 11, but no association was found with the total exposure index. Overall, the results of plume reconstruction could be incorporated into predicted exposures and doses of airborne emissions among the subjects, providing daily estimates of exposures using both geographic dust concentrations and individual activity patterns.

T1 - Accurate Prediction of the Response of Freshwater Fish to a Mixture of Estrogenic Chemicals
AN - 14741561; 10683021
AB - Fathead minnows were used to investigate the activity of a mixture of five estrogenic chemicals selected on the basis of previous reports of their presence in the environment. They included: 17 beta -estradiol, 17 alpha -ethynylestradiol, 4-tert-nonylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol, and bisphenol A. The complete concentrationresponse curve of each chemical was determined, and the pharmacological concept of concentration addition (CA) was used to predict the mixture effects, which were compared with actual effects. No deviation was found between the observed and predicted effects of the mixture, which indicated that the estrogenic chemicals had the capacity to act together in an additive manner. At much lower concentrations, the individual estrogens did not induce a significant effect, but their combination did, and the response could be predicted by CA.

T1 - Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities in Cancer Risk from Air Toxics in Maryland
AN - 14741540; 10683017
AB - Modeled cancer-risk estimates from EPA's 1996 National Air Toxics Assessment were linked to socioeconomic and racial characteristics from the 2000 US Census for all census tracts in Maryland to examine whether there were socioeconomic and racial disparities in cancer risk from air toxics. Statistical treatment of the data is detailed. Considerable variability was found in the distributions of socioeconomic and most racial indicators among the census tracts. Among the source contributions to the cancer-risk estimates, on-road sources provided the greatest contribution, followed by non-road and area sources, while major sources contributed significantly less. Below a median household income of $50,000, an estimated decrease in cancer risk of 1.2 10 super(-5) was associated with each $10,000 increase in income, while no statistically significant association was found above $50,000. Estimated cancer risk decreased for every 10% increase in the percentage of whites living in a census tract, while the risk increased for each 10% increase in the percentage of African Americans. Census tracts in the lowest quartile of median household income were 100 times more likely to be high risk than those in the highest quartile. The strongest racial disparities in estimated cancer risk were observed among on-road and area sources.

T1 - Lead Exposure Inhibits Fracture Healing and Is Associated with Increased Chondrogenesis, Delay in Cartilage Mineralization, and a Decrease in Osteoprogenitor Frequency
AN - 14740726; 10683025
AB - The effects of elevated blood lead levels on fracture healing were investigated using an established murine tibia fracture model involving female C57/B16 mice exposed to 0, 55, 230, 580, 1160, 1750, 2300, or 5800 ppm Pb in drinking water. After six weeks of exposure, mice from each exposure group underwent closed tibia fracture, and radiographs were followed and histologic analysis was performed after 7, 14, and 21 d. Remarkable effects of Pb on fracture healing were clearly apparent, even at the lowest Pb dose, and the phenotype was described as an increase in chondrogenesis and delay in endochondral maturation, vascular invasion, and resorption. The profound Pb-induced phenotype observed on day 14 was completely resolved by day 21, but fibrous nonunions were prevent at day 21 in mice that had received very high Pb exposures.

T1 - Differential Effects of Glyphosate and Roundup on Human Placental Cells and Aromatase
AN - 14740683; 10683020
AB - Glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup, and Roundup toxicity were studied on human placental JEG3 cells, and their capacity to act as endocrine disruptors was evaluated by measuring their effects at nontoxic levels on aromatase, a mammalian cytochrome P450 enzyme crucial for sex steroid hormone synthesis. Results showed that Roundup reduced JEG3 cell viability at least twice more efficiently than glyphosate, and the effect increased with time and was obtained with concentrations of Roundup that were ten times lower than those found in agricultural use. In addition, Roundup presented a differential time effect at nontoxic levels on aromatase activity of JEG3 cells. The presence of Roundup in the incubation medium resulted not only in a decrease in the activity of the cytochrome P450 aromatase, but also to a lesser extent in the partial inhibition of its associated reductase.

T1 - In Vitro Inhibition of Human Hepatic and cDNA-Expressed Sulfotransferase Activity with 3-Hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene by Polychlorobiphenylols
AN - 14740338; 10683015
AB - Polychlorinated biphenyls have several metabolites of toxicological importance, including polychlorobiphenylols (OH-PCBs), which are formed in vivo from cytochrome P-dependent monooxygenation of PCBs. In this study, the ability of OH-PCBs to inhibit 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (3-OH-BaP) sulfonation in human liver cytosol was investigated in vitro, along with whether the inhibition was isozyme-selective using cDNA-expressed human SULT1A1 super(*)1, -1A1 super(*)2, -1A3, -1B1, and -1E1 isozymes. Results showed that 3-OH-BaP was sulfonated readily in human liver cytosol, especially at concentrations >0.15 mu M. Substrate inhibition was observed with SULT1A1 and SULT1E1, but not with SULT1A3 or SULT1B1. Several OH-PCBs, especially those with a 3-chloro-4-hydroxy substitution pattern, inhibited the sulfonation of 3-OH-BaP in cytosol.

T1 - Environmental Health Assessment of Deltamethrin in a Malarious Area of Mexico: Environmental Persistence, Toxicokinetics, and Genotoxicity in Exposed Children
AN - 14739407; 10683031
AB - Eight boys and 24 girls living in 16 buildings in four malarious communities located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, were examined medically before and after the buildings were sprayed with deltamethrin. Surface soil samples were collected indoors and outdoors at each building, and exposure to the pesticide was assessed using urinary concentrations of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and cis-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxy lic acid (Br sub(2)CA). DNA damage was evaluated using the comet assay. Results showed that the indoor soil levels of deltamethrin were higher than the levels measured outdoors, and in all sprayed soils, maximum concentrations were recorded 815 d after spraying. A significant correlation was found between the urinary levels of 3-PBA and Br sub(2)CA, but levels of the latter were higher. The urinary levels of the metabolites peaked within the first 24 h after exposure, and levels had returned to normal after six months. No DNA damage was found in any of the studied children.

T1 - The Environmental Estrogen Bisphenol A Inhibits Estradiol-Induced Hippocampal Synaptogenesis
AN - 14739379; 10683014
AB - The effects of estradiol and bisphenol A, alone and in combination, on cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) pyramidal cell dendritic spine synapse density (PSSD) were investigated in adult ovariectomized rats. Results showed that treatment of the rats with 17 beta -estradiol at a concentration of 60 mu g/kg body weight increased CA1 PSSD almost twofold, whereas treatment with bisphenol A did not further enhance hippocampal synapse formation but inhibited the effect of 17 beta -estradiol in a dose-dependent manner. At a bisphenol A dose of 400 mu g/kg, the PSSD response to 17 beta -estradiol was inhibited completely. The minimum bisphenol A dose required to inhibit the rapid hippocampal synaptogenic response to estradiol was within the range of dose levels believed previously to have little or no significant biologic impact.

T1 - Developmentally Restricted Genetic Determinants of Human Arsenic Metabolism: Association Between Urinary Methylated Arsenic and CYT19 Polymorphisms in Children
AN - 14738912; 10683030
AB - Existing polymorphism catalogs for glutathione S-transferse omega and purine nucleoside phosphorylase were used to produce a resequencing-derived catalog of polymorphisms in trivalent arsenic methyltransferase (CYT19), and 23 polymorphic sites within the three genes were tested in a population of As-exposed subjects from the Yaqui Valley area of Sonora, Mexico, who had been phenotyped for the levels of urinary metabolites of As. A very strong association was found between the DNA sequence of CYT19 and urinary pentavalent dimethylarsenic to pentavalent monomethylarsenic ratios, and the association remained highly significant even after conservative multiple testing correction. The association, however, was confined to the children in the study population.

T1 - Chronic Neuropsychological Sequelae of Cholinesterase Inhibitors in the Absence of Structural Brain Damage: Two Cases of Acute Poisoning
AN - 14738138; 10683027
AB - Two case studies are presented of acute poisoning with cholinesterase inhibitors. The first involved a 55-yr-old woman who mistakenly drank a glass of the carbamate pesticide, methomyl. She was treated in the hospital with gastric lavage, activated charcoal, cathartics, and antiemetics and was released one week later without further medial treatment. The second case involved a greenhouse worker who was poisoned most recently by a mixture of methomyl and the pyrethroid pesticide, cypermethrin, while spraying. He had been poisoned six times previously with organophosphates and carbamates. In each case, he was treated in hospital with gastric lavage and atropine and released within 24 h. One year later, both subjects were found to have persistent neurological problems, including deficits in attention, memory, motor, and constructional abilities.

T1 - Vaccine presentations and delivery technologies - what does the future hold?
AN - 1257736385; 16614511
AB - There is an urgent need to change the presentations and delivery technologies of current vaccines. Until recently, these factors had not been key criteria in the selection of vaccines for program use. Recent and current changes in the field of vaccines and their delivery lead the authors to postulate that a major paradigm shift will take place over the next decade to revolutionize vaccine presentation and delivery in national immunization programs. The programmatic needs for certain vaccine presentations will increasingly dictate elements of vaccine development and manufacture. Over the next decade, an inexorable drift towards firstly, single-dose preparations, and secondly, delivery technologies other than the conventional needle and syringes is anticipated. A unified system capable of delivering multiple antigens as a single dose is urgently needed; however, changing the status quo of vaccine manufacture is not easy. The market predominantly produces vaccines delivered by needle and syringe. Profits for manufacturers from sales to developing countries are marginal at best, and there is little financial incentive to change. Global leaders will need to take bold decisions and begin demanding vaccines which have a presentation that lends them to safer, more practical delivery systems. If a strong enough case can be made to restructure the vaccine manufacturing industry, either through market forces, global bodies, such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children''s Fund, or both, a dramatic change could be brought about that will make vaccine delivery simpler and safer. A globally coordinated approach to funding research and the introduction of a multiple-antigen, single-dose delivery system is urgently needed. The needs are clear, and this review argues that if the case is presented strongly enough, the resources will be found.

T1 - Probing the role of Asp-120(81) of metallo-beta-lactamase (IMP-1) by site-directed mutagenesis, kinetic studies, and X-ray crystallography.
AN - 67847656; 15788415
AB - Metallo-beta-lactamase IMP-1 is a di-Zn(II) metalloenzyme that efficiently hydrolyzes beta-lactam antibiotics. Wild-type (WT) IMP-1 has a conserved Asp-120(81) in the active site, which plays an important role in catalysis. To probe the catalytic role of Asp-120(81) in IMP-1, the IMP-1 mutants, D120(81)A and D120(81)E, were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis, and various kinetics studies were conducted. The IMP-1 mutants exhibited 10(2)-10(4)-fold drops in k(cat) values compared with WT despite the fact that they contained two Zn(II) ions in the active site. To evaluate the acid-base characteristics of Asp-120(81), the pH dependence for hydrolysis was examined by stopped-flow studies. No observable pK(a) values between pH 5 and 9 were found for WT and D120(81)A. The rapid mixing of equimolar amounts of nitrocefin and all enzymes failed to result in the detection of an anion intermediate of nitrocefin at 650 nm. These results suggest that Asp-120(81) of IMP-1 is not a factor in decreasing the pK(a) for the water bridging two Zn(II) ions and is not a proton donor to the anionic intermediate. In the case of D120(81)E, the nitrocefin hydrolysis product, which shows a maximum absorption at 460 nm, was bound to D120(81)E in the protonated form. The three-dimensional structures of D120(81)A and D120(81)E were also determined at 2.0 and 3.0 A resolutions, respectively. In the case of D120(81)E, the Zn-Zn distance was increased by 0.3 A compared with WT, due to the change in the coordination mode of Glu-120(81)OE1 and the positional shift in the conserved His-263(197) at the active site.

T1 - Evidence for biased use of sperm sources in wild female giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama)
AN - 16189129; 6256701
AB - In species where females store sperm from their mates prior to fertilization, sperm competition is particularly probable. Female Sepia apama are polyandrous and have access to sperm from packages (spermatangia) deposited by males onto their buccal area during mating and to sperm stored in internal sperm-storage organs (receptacles) located below the beak. Here, we describe the structure of the sperm stores in the female's buccal area, use microsatellite DNA analyses to determine the genetic diversity of stored sperm and combine these data with offspring genotypes to determine the storage location of paternal sperm. The number of male genotypes represented in the sperm receptacles were significantly lower than that found among the spermatangia. Estimation of the volumes of sperm contained in the receptacles and the spermatangia were statistically comparable; however, paternal sperm were more likely to have come from spermatangia than from the sperm receptacles. These results confirm a genetic polyandrous mating system in this species and suggest that fertilization pattern with respect to the sperm stores used is not random.

AN - 61992218; ED496591
AB - Career and technical education is a critical component of a number of Federal education and training initiatives that are designed to help support the development of a 21st Century workforce. Career and technical education is unique in that it fuses challenging academic curricula with relevant skill training in order to prepare secondary and postsecondary students for the workplace. The central goal of Federally supported career and technical education programs is to provide students with strong academic and technical preparation, so that students can successfully enter the workforce or pursue additional education. The purpose of S. 250, the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2005, is to reauthorize and improve the federally supported career and technical education programs last reauthorized by the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Amendments Act of 1998.

T1 - The treatment of early-morning awakening insomnia with 2 evenings of bright light.
AN - 68600544; 16171276
AB - To assess the effectiveness of brief bright-light therapy for the treatment of early-morning awakening insomnia.
Twenty-four healthy adults with early-morning awakening insomnia were assigned to either the bright-light condition (2,500-lux white light) or the control (dim red light) condition. The circadian phase of rectal temperature and urinary melatonin rhythms were assessed with 26-hour constant routines before and after 2 evenings of light therapy. Sleep and daytime functioning were monitored using sleep diaries, activity monitors, and mood scales before light therapy and for 4 weeks during the follow-up period. While there were no significant circadian phase changes in the dim-light control group, the bright-light group had significant 2-hour phase delays of circadian temperature and melatonin rhythm. Compared to pretreatment measures, over the 4-week follow-up period, the bright-light group had a greater reduction of time awake after sleep onset, showed a trend toward waking later, and had a greater increase of total sleep time. Participants in the bright-light condition also tended to report greater reductions of negative daytime symptoms, including significantly fewer days of feeling depressed at the 4-week follow-up, as compared with the control group.
Two evenings of bright-light exposure phase delayed the circadian rhythms of early-morning awakening insomniacs. It also improved diary and actigraphy sleep measures and improved some indexes of daytime functioning for up to 1 month after light exposure. The study suggests that a brief course of evening bright-light therapy can be an effective treatment for early-morning awakening insomniacs who have relatively phase advanced circadian rhythms.

T1 - Ascorbate Depletion: A Critical Step in Nickel Carcinogenesis?
AN - 21431309; 12473539
AB - Nickel compounds are known to cause respiratory cancer in humans and induce tumors in experimental animals. The underlying molecular mechanisms may involve genotoxic effects; however, the data from different research groups are not easy to reconcile. Here, we challenge the common premise that direct genotoxic effects are central to nickel carcinogenesis and probably to that of other metals. Instead, we propose that it is formation of metal complexes with proteins and other molecules that changes cellular homeostasis and provides conditions for selection of cells with transformed phenotype. This is concordant with the major requirement for nickel carcinogenicity, which is prolonged action on the target tissue. If DNA is not the main nickel target, is there another unique molecule that can be attacked with carcinogenic consequences? Our recent observations indicate that ascorbate may be such a molecule. Nickel depletes intracellular ascorbate, which leads to the inhibition of cellular hydroxylases, manifested by the loss of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha and -2alpha hydroxylation and hypoxia-like stress. Proline hydroxylation is crucial for collagen and extracellular matrix assembly as well as for assembly of other protein molecules that have collagen-like domains, including surfactants and complement. Thus, the depletion of ascorbate by chronic exposure to nickel could be deleterious for lung cells and may lead to lung cancer. Key words: ascorbate, carcinogenesis, collagens, extracellular matrix, hypoxia-inducible transcription factor, metals, nickel, protein hydroxylation.

AB - Aerial emissions from a swine house at North Carolina State University's field laboratory were diluted to a level that could occur at varying distances downwind from a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) both within and beyond the property line, and these emissions were delivered to an environmental exposure chamber. The study design consisted of two 1-hr sessions, one in which 48 healthy human adult volunteers were exposed to diluted swine air and another in which they were exposed to clean air (control). Objective measures of blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, lung function, nasal inflammation, secretory immunity, mood, attention, and memory were correlated with objective measures of air quality. Ratings of perceived (self-reported) health symptoms were also obtained. The mean levels of airborne constituents in the swine air condition were hydrogen sulfide (24 ppb), ammonia (817 ppb), total suspended particulates (0.0241 mg/m3), endotoxin (7.40 endotoxin units/m3), and odor (57 times above odor threshold). No statistical differences on objective measures of physical symptoms, mood, or attention resulted from the 1-hr exposure to swine emissions in the environmental chamber when compared with clean air for healthy human volunteers. However, subjects were 4.1 (p = 0.001) times more likely to report headaches, 6.1 (p = 0.004) times more likely to report eye irritation, and 7.8 (p = 0.014) times more likely to report nausea in the swine air (experimental) condition than in the control condition. These results indicate that short-term exposure in an environmental chamber to malodorous emissions from a swine house at levels expected downwind can induce clinically important symptoms in healthy human volunteers.

T1 - Historical Comparison of Perfluorooctanesulfonate, Perfluorooctanoate, and Other Fluorochemicals in Human Blood
AN - 21429421; 12473537
AB - The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there has been a change in the human blood concentration of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and five other fluorochemicals since 1974. Blood samples were collected in 1974 (serum) and 1989 (plasma) from volunteer participants of a large community health study. The study included a total of 356 samples (178 from each time period). These samples were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry methods. The median 1974 and 1989 fluorochemical concentrations, respectively, were as follows: PFOS, 29.5 ng/mL vs. 34.7 ng/mL; PFOA, 2.3 ng/mL vs. 5.6 ng/mL; perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), 1.6 ng/mL vs. 2.4 ng/mL; and N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (PFOSAA), less than the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; 1.6 ng/mL, vs. 3.4 ng/mL). For N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (M570), perfluorooctanesulfonamide, and perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate, median serum concentrations in both years were less than the LLOQ values (1.0, 1.0, and 2.5 ng/mL, respectively). Statistical analysis of 58 paired samples indicated that serum concentrations of PFOS, PFOSAA, PFOA, PFHS, and M570 were significantly (p 0.001) higher in 1989 than in 1974. The data from 1989 were then compared with geometric mean fluorochemical concentrations of serum samples collected in 2001 from 108 American Red Cross adult blood donors from the same region. Except for M570, there were no statistically significant (p 0.05) geometric mean fluorochemical concentration differences between the 1989 and 2001 samples. In conclusion, based on this study population, PFOS and other serum fluorochemical concentrations have increased between 1974 and 1989. Comparison with other regional data collected in 2001 did not suggest a continued increase in concentrations since 1989.

T1 - Two Outbreaks of Occupationally Acquired Histoplasmosis: More than Workers at Risk
AN - 21429392; 12473521
AB - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the etiology and risk factors for acute histoplasmosis in two outbreaks in Illinois among laborers at a landfill in 2001 and at a bridge reconstruction site in 2003. DESIGN: We performed environmental investigations during both outbreaks and also performed an analytic cohort study among bridge workers. PARTICIPANTS: Workers at the landfill during May 2001 and those at the bridge site during August 2003 participated in the study. At the landfill, workers moved topsoil from an area that previously housed a barn; at the bridge, workers observed bat guano on bridge beams. EVALUATIONS/MEASUREMENTS: We defined a case by positive immunodiffusion serology, a or = 4-fold titer rise in complement fixation between acute and convalescent sera, or positive urinary Histoplasma capsulatum (HC) antigen. Relative risks (RR) for disease among bridge workers were calculated using bivariate analysis. RESULTS: Eight of 11 landfill workers (73%) and 6 of 12 bridge workers (50%) were laboratory-confirmed histoplasmosis cases. Three bridge workers had positive urinary HC antigen. At the bridge, seeing or having contact with bats [RR = 7.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.1-43.0], jack-hammering (RR = 4.0; 95% CI, 1.2-13.3), and waste disposal (RR = 4.0; 95% CI, 1.2-13.3) were the most significant job-related risk factors for acquiring histoplasmosis. CONCLUSIONS: Workers performing activities that aerosolized topsoil and dust were at increased risk for acquiring histoplasmosis. Relevance to professional and clinical practice: Employees should wear personal protective equipment and use dust-suppression techniques when working in areas potentially contaminated with bird or bat droppings. Urinary HC antigen testing was important in rapidly identifying disease in the 2003 outbreak.

T1 - IQ and Blood Lead from 2 to 7 Years of Age: Are the Effects in Older Children the Residual of High Blood Lead Concentrations in 2-Year-Olds?
AN - 21429374; 12473518
AB - Increases in peak blood lead concentrations, which occur at 18-30 months of age in the United States, are thought to result in lower IQ scores at 4-6 years of age, when IQ becomes stable and measurable. Data from a prospective study conducted in Boston suggested that blood lead concentrations at 2 years of age were more predictive of cognitive deficits in older children than were later blood lead concentrations or blood lead concentrations measured concurrently with IQ. Therefore, cross-sectional associations between blood lead and IQ in school-age children have been widely interpreted as the residual effects of higher blood lead concentrations at an earlier age or the tendency of less intelligent children to ingest more leaded dust or paint chips, rather than as a causal relationship in older children. Here we analyze data from a clinical trial in which children were treated for elevated blood lead concentrations (20-44 microg/dL) at about 2 years of age and followed until 7 years of age with serial IQ tests and measurements of blood lead. We found that cross-sectional associations increased in strength as the children became older, whereas the relation between baseline blood lead and IQ attenuated. Peak blood lead level thus does not fully account for the observed association in older children between their lower blood lead concentrations and IQ. The effect of concurrent blood level on IQ may therefore be greater than currently believed.

T1 - Developmental Exposure of Rats to Chlorpyrifos Leads to Behavioral Alterations in Adulthood, Involving Serotonergic Mechanisms and Resembling Animal Models of Depression
AN - 21424295; 12473536
AB - Developmental exposure to chlorpyrifos (CPF) causes persistent changes in serotonergic (5HT) systems. We administered 1 mg/kg/day CPF to rats on postnatal days 1-4, a regimen below the threshold for systemic toxicity. When tested in adulthood, CPF-exposed animals showed abnormalities in behavioral tests that involve 5HT mechanisms. In the elevated plus maze, males treated with CPF spent more time in the open arms, an effect seen with 5HT deficiencies in animal models of depression. Similarly, in an anhedonia test, the CPF-exposed group showed a decreased preference for chocolate milk versus water. Developmental CPF exposure also has lasting effects on cognitive function. We replicated our earlier finding that developmental CPF exposure ablates the normal sex differences in 16-arm radial maze learning and memory: during acquisition training, control male rats typically perform more accurately than do control females, but CPF treatment eliminated this normal sex difference. Females exposed to CPF showed a reduction in working and reference memory errors down to the rate of control males. Conversely, CPF-exposed males exhibited an increase in working and reference memory errors. After radial-arm acquisition training, we assessed the role of 5HT by challenging the animals with the 5HT2 receptor antagonist ketanserin. Ketanserin did not affect performance in controls but elicited dose-dependent increases in working and reference memory errors in the CPF group, indicating an abnormal dependence on 5HT systems. Our results indicate that neonatal CPF exposures, classically thought to be subtoxic, produce lasting changes in 5HT-related behaviors that resemble animal models of depression.

T1 - Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Campylobacter Isolates from Conventional and Antibiotic-Free Chicken Products
AN - 21424243; 12473522
AB - The use of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in poultry production is an important issue in public health today. In February 2002, two prominent U.S. poultry companies pledged to stop using FQs for flock-wide treatment. One year later, we began a survey of Campylobacter isolates on chicken products from these two companies and from two producers claiming total abstention from antibiotic use. Using both standard isolation methods and new methods modified to enhance detection of FQ-resistant Campylobacter, we compared rates of FQ-resistant Campylobacter among these products. Four major findings were drawn from this study: a) antibiotic-free brands were not more likely to be contaminated with Campylobacter; b) a high percentage of products from the two conventional brands were contaminated with FQ-resistant Campylobacter (43 and 96%); c) these conventional brands had significantly higher odds of carrying resistant strains compared with antibiotic-free products; and d) supplementing media with FQs increased the sensitivity of detecting FQ-resistant strains among mixed populations of Campylobacter, thus reducing a bias toward underestimating the prevalence of FQ-resistant Campylobacter on samples. These results suggest that FQ resistance may persist in the commercial poultry environment in the absence of FQ-selective pressure and that these strains contaminate a larger proportion of foods than reported previously.

AN - 21422341; 12475229
AB - Light-duty vehicles are amazing artifacts, made by the world's largest industry and fueled by the second-largest. American automakers make a new light vehicle every 2 seconds. Cheaper per kilogram than a fast-food hamburger, those vehicles meet conflicting requirements for performance, emissions, fuel economy, esthetics, and safety with remarkable skill. Yet, a typical light vehicle releases its own weight in carbon dioxide annually, and each day it consumes gasoline made from about a hundred times its own weight in ancient plants (Lovins et al. 2004). Cars and light trucks use 42% of America's 10,000 gal/second oil habit and account for 58% of projected growth in U.S. oil use to 2025 [Energy Information Administration (EIA) 2004].

T1 - A Time-Series Analysis of Air Pollution and Preterm Birth in Pennsylvania, 1997-2001
AN - 21419014; 12473533
AB - Preterm delivery can lead to serious infant health outcomes, including death and lifelong disability. Small increases in preterm delivery risk in relation to spatial gradients of air pollution have been reported, but previous studies may have controlled inadequately for individual factors. Using a time-series analysis, which eliminates potential confounding by individual risk factors that do not change over short periods of time, we investigated the effect of ambient outdoor particulate matter with diameter or = 10 microm (PM10) and sulfur dioxide on risk for preterm delivery. Daily counts of preterm births were obtained from birth records in four Pennsylvania counties from 1997 through 2001. We observed increased risk for preterm delivery with exposure to average PM10 and SO2 in the 6 weeks before birth [respectively, relative risk (RR) = 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.98-1.18 per 50 microg/m3 increase; RR = 1.15; 95% CI, 1.00-1. 32 per 15 ppb increase], adjusting for long-term preterm delivery trends, co-pollutants, and offsetting by the number of gestations at risk. We also examined lags up to 7 days before the birth and found an acute effect of exposure to PM10 2 days and 5 days before birth (respectively, RR = 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00-1.21; RR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.98-1.18) and SO2 3 days before birth (RR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.99-1.15), adjusting for covariates, including temperature, dew point temperature, and day of the week. The results from this time-series analysis, which provides evidence of an increase in preterm birth risk with exposure to PM10 and SO2, are consistent with prior investigations of spatial contrasts.

T1 - Effects of Inhaled Brevetoxins in Allergic Airways: Toxin-Allergen Interactions and Pharmacologic Intervention
AN - 21418989; 12473530
AB - During a Florida red tide, brevetoxins produced by the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis become aerosolized and cause airway symptoms in humans, especially in those with pre-existing airway disease (e.g., asthma). To understand these toxin-induced airway effects, we used sheep with airway hypersensitivity to Ascaris suum antigen as a surrogate for asthmatic patients and studied changes in pulmonary airflow resistance (R(L) after inhalation challenge with lysed cultures of K. brevis (crude brevetoxins). Studies were done without and with clinically available drugs to determine which might prevent/reverse these effects. Crude brevetoxins (20 breaths at 100 pg/mL; n = 5) increased R(L) 128 +/- 6% (mean +/- SE) over baseline. This bronchoconstriction was significantly reduced (% inhibition) after pretreatment with the glucocorticosteroid budesonide (49%), the beta(2) adrenergic agent albuterol (71%), the anticholinergic agent atropine (58%), and the histamine H1-antagonist diphenhydramine (47%). The protection afforded by atropine and diphenhydramine suggests that both cholinergic (vagal) and H1-mediated pathways contribute to the bronchoconstriction. The response to cutaneous toxin injection was also histamine mediated. Thus, the airway and skin data support the hypothesis that toxin activates mast cells in vivo. Albuterol given immediately after toxin challenge rapidly reversed the bronchoconstriction. Toxin inhalation increased airway kinins, and the response to inhaled toxin was enhanced after allergen challenge. Both factors could contribute to the increased sensitivity of asthmatic patients to toxin exposure. We conclude that K. brevis aerosols are potent airway constrictors. Clinically available drugs may be used to prevent or provide therapeutic relief for affected individuals.

T1 - Initial Evaluation of the Effects of Aerosolized Florida Red Tide Toxins (Brevetoxins) in Persons with Asthma
AN - 21418931; 12473514
AB - Florida red tides annually occur in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting from blooms of the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. K. brevis produces highly potent natural polyether toxins, known as brevetoxins, that activate voltage-sensitive sodium channels. In experimental animals, brevetoxins cause significant bronchoconstriction. A study of persons who visited the beach recreationally found a significant increase in self-reported respiratory symptoms after exposure to aerosolized Florida red tides. Anecdotal reports indicate that persons with underlying respiratory diseases may be particularly susceptible to adverse health effects from these aerosolized toxins. Fifty-nine persons with physician-diagnosed asthma were evaluated for 1 hr before and after going to the beach on days with and without Florida red tide. Study participants were evaluated with a brief symptom questionnaire, nose and throat swabs, and spirometry approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Environmental monitoring, water and air sampling (i.e., K. brevis, brevetoxins, and particulate size distribution), and personal monitoring (for toxins) were performed. Brevetoxin concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, and a newly developed brevetoxin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Participants were significantly more likely to report respiratory symptoms after Florida red tide exposure. Participants demonstrated small but statistically significant decreases in forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75%, and peak expiratory flow after exposure, particularly those regularly using asthma medications. Similar evaluation during nonexposure periods did not significantly differ. This is the first study to show objectively measurable adverse health effects from exposure to aerosolized Florida red tide toxins in persons with asthma. Future studies will examine the possible chronic effects of these toxins among persons with asthma and other chronic respiratory impairment.

AN - 21412779; 12473541
AB - A variety of health professionals and inspectors may enter a home for one reason or other, but few are equipped to spot all the possible ways a house can hurt its occupants. Now a new nationwide interdisciplinary training program is taking on the challenge of instructing frontline workers about the importance of looking at the whole home environment to help residents have a healthier place to live. This movement trains frontline workers to think beyond the boundaries of their own expertise in order to spot known hazards, then refer residents to specialists who can help them address identified problems. The network also offers an electronic database of research information, assessment tools, and treatment protocols to help workers do their jobs more effectively.

T1 - Chromosomal Aberrations in Lymphocytes of Healthy Subjects and Risk of Cancer
AN - 21403526; 12473535
AB - There is evidence that increased frequency of chromosomal aberration (CA) in peripheral blood lymphocytes is a predictor of cancer, but further data are needed to better characterize CA as marker of cancer risk. From the archives of 15 laboratories we gathered cytogenetic records of 11,834 subjects who were free of cancer at the moment of blood drawing and who underwent cytogenetic examination for preventive purposes in the Czech Republic during 1975-2000. We linked these records to the national cancer registry, revealing a total of 485 cancer cases. Subjects were classified according to the percentiles of CA distribution within each laboratory as low (0-33rd percentile), medium (34-66th percentile), and high (66-100th percentile). Subjects were further classified by occupational exposure and by subclass of CA. We found a significant association between the overall cancer incidence and the presence of chromosome-type aberrations [relative risk (RR) for high vs. low CA level = 1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-1.50] but not chromatid-type aberrations. Stomach cancer showed a strong association with frequency of total CA (RR = 7.79; 95% CI, 1.01-60.0). The predictivity of CA observed in subjects exposed to various classes of carcinogens did not significantly differ from the group of nonexposed subjects. This study contributes to validation of CA as a predictive marker of cancer risk, in particular, of stomach cancer; the association between CA frequency and cancer risk might be limited to chromosome-type aberrations.

T1 - Acute Respiratory Diseases and Carboxyhemoglobin Status in School Children of Quito, Ecuador
AN - 21383522; 12473519
AB - Outdoor carbon monoxide comes mainly from vehicular emissions, and high concentrations occur in areas with heavy traffic congestion. CO binds to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), and reduces oxygen delivery. We investigated the link between the adverse effects of CO on the respiratory system using COHb as a marker for chronic CO exposure. We examined the relationship between acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and COHb concentrations in school-age children living in urban and suburban areas of Quito, Ecuador. We selected three schools located in areas with different traffic intensities and enrolled 960 children. To adjust for potential confounders we conducted a detailed survey. In a random subsample of 295 children, we determined that average COHb concentrations were significantly higher in children attending schools in areas with high and moderate traffic, compared with the low-traffic area. The percentage of children with COHb concentrations above the safe level of 2.5% were 1, 43, and 92% in low-, moderate-, and high-traffic areas, respectively. Children with COHb above the safe level are 3.25 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.65-6.38] times more likely to have ARI than children with COHb 2.5%. Furthermore, with each percent increase in COHb above the safety level, children are 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.28) times more likely to have an additional case of ARI. Our findings provide strong evidence of the relation between CO exposure and susceptibility to respiratory infections.

T1 - The Bhopal Saga: Causes and Consequences of the World's Largest Industrial Disaster
AN - 21383451; 12473513
AB - After 20 years, victims, health care workers, and governments are still trying to comprehend what has been called the world's worst industrial accident. The Bhopal Saga is an attempt to bring order from the chaos of events before, during, and after the methyl isocyanate (MIC) release. Not a scientific analysis, the book summarizes events leading up to the accident of December 1984 and the relief work in the ensuing two decades.

T1 - Scientific Vision: Setting Forth a Strategy
AN - 21381614; 12473528
AB - Environmental exposures may adversely affect those who are vulnerable temporally (age, developmental stage), spatially (geographic location), or by unique circumstance (comorbid disease, nutritional status, socioeconomic status, genetics). Understanding the complex relationship between endogenous and exogenous risks within populations and affected individuals, how environmental exposures affect human biology, and how this knowledge can be used to reduce morbidity and extend longevity is precisely the opportunity and challenge that faces the NIEHS. My vision for the NIEHS is to improve human health by increasing this understanding through support of research and professional development in the environmental sciences (toxicology, relevant basic science), environmental medicine, and environmental public health. In addition to understanding how environmental exposures affect human biology, the NIEHS needs to understand how this knowledge can be used to reduce morbidity and extend longevity.

T1 - Human Neurobehavioral Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Styrene: A Meta-Analysis
AN - 21381562; 12473525
AB - Many reports in the literature suggest that long-term exposure to styrene may exert a variety of effects on the nervous system, including increased choice reaction time and decreased performance of color discrimination and color arrangement tasks. Sufficient information exists to perform a meta-analysis of these observations quantifying the relationships between exposure (estimated from biomarkers) and effects on two measures of central nervous system function: reaction time and color vision. To perform the meta-analysis, we pooled data into a single database for each end point. End-point data were transformed to a common metric of effect magnitude (percentage of baseline). We estimated styrene concentration from biomarkers of exposure and fitted linear least-squares equations to the pooled data to produce dose-effect relationships. Statistically significant relationships were demonstrated between cumulative styrene exposure and increased choice reaction time as well as increased color confusion index. Eight work-years of exposure to 20 ppm styrene was estimated to produce a 6.5% increase in choice reaction time, which has been shown to significantly increase the probability of automobile accidents. The same exposure history was predicted to increase the color confusion index as much as 1.7 additional years of age in men.

T1 - Occupational Exposure to Aerosolized Brevetoxins during Florida Red Tide Events: Effects on a Healthy Worker Population
AN - 21350160; 7683875
AB - Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve) is a marine dinoflagellate responsible for red tides that form in the Gulf of Mexico. K. brevis produces brevetoxins, the potent toxins that cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. There is also limited information describing human health effects from environmental exposures to brevetoxins. Our objective was to examine the impact of inhaling aerosolized brevetoxins during red tide events on self-reported symptoms and pulmonary function. We recruited a group of 28 healthy lifeguards who are occupationally exposed to red tide toxins during their daily work-related activities. They performed spirometry tests and reported symptoms before and after their 8-hr shifts during a time when there was no red tide (unexposed period) and again when there was a red tide (exposed period). We also examined how mild exercise affected the reported symptoms and spirometry tests during unexposed and exposed periods with a subgroup of the same lifeguards. Environmental sampling (K. brevis cell concentrations in seawater and brevetoxin concentrations in seawater and air) was used to confirm unexposed/exposed status. Compared with unexposed periods, the group of lifeguards reported more upper respiratory symptoms during the exposed periods. We did not observe any impact of exposure to aerosolized brevetoxins, with or without mild exercise, on pulmonary function.

T1 - Characterization of Marine Aerosol for Assessment of Human Exposure to Brevetoxins
AN - 21344502; 7683874
AB - Red tides in the Gulf of Mexico are commonly formed by the fish-killing dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, which produces nine potent polyether brevetoxins (PbTxs). Brevetoxins can be transferred from water to air in wind-powered white-capped waves. Inhalation exposure to marine aerosol containing brevetoxins causes respiratory symptoms. We describe detailed characterization of aerosols during an epidemiologic study of occupational exposure to Florida red tide aerosol in terms of its concentration, toxin profile, and particle size distribution. This information is essential in understanding its source, assessing exposure to people, and estimating dose of inhaled aerosols. Environmental sampling confirmed the presence of brevetoxins in water and air during a red tide exposure period (September 2001) and lack of significant toxin levels in the water and air during an unexposed period May 2002). Water samples collected during a red tide bloom in 2001 showed moderate-to-high concentrations of K. brevis cells and PbTxs. The daily mean PbTx concentration in water samples ranged from 8 to 28 mu g/L from 7 to 11 September 2001; the daily mean PbTx concentration in air samples ranged from 1.3 to 27 ng/m super(3). The daily aerosol concentration on the beach can be related to PbTx concentration in water, wind speed, and wind direction. Personal samples confirmed human exposure to red tide aerosols. The particle size distribution showed a mean aerodynamic diameter in the size range of 6-12 mu m, with deposits mainly in the upper airways. The deposition pattern correlated with the observed increase of upper airway symptoms in healthy lifeguards during the exposure periods.

T1 - Behaviour of plant-derived extracellular phytase upon addition to soil
AN - 20734038; 6191343
AB - The behaviour of phytase after addition to three soil types with different sorption capacities was investigated. Phytase was collected from the roots of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana that express a phytase gene from Aspergillus niger. Phytase activity in solution and on the solid phase of the soil was monitored over time. Phytase added to the solution phase of a soil suspension (1:20, w/v) was almost completely lost within 10 min in all soil types, while phytase in non-soil controls remained active in solution. Phytase activity lost from solution was recovered on the soil solid phase, suggesting rapid adsorption of the enzyme. Adsorption of phytase was less in soil taken from the rhizosphere of transgenic plants expressing phyA, indicating that the rhizosphere environment may help maintain phytase activity in solution. The activity of adsorbed phytase declined with time at a rate 2-4 times slower than that in the absence of soil. Adsorption of phytase in soils was highest at pH 4.5, which is below the reported isoelectric point (pI) of the Aspergillus phytase. As soil pH increased, adsorption decreased until, at pH 7.5, all phytase was in solution. Where phytase remained in solution, activity was maintained for at least 8 d. In contrast, the activity of adsorbed phytase was increasingly inhibited with time, particularly at low pH. By increasing the pH in soil suspensions, phytase that had remained active on the soil solid phase for 28 d was almost totally desorbed. Rapid immobilisation of phytase in soil may limit its capacity to interact with phytate, and this may compromise the ability of transgenic plants which exude phytase from their roots to acquire P from endogenous soil phytate.

Man- alpha -CDE conjugates (DSM 3.3 and 4.9) were found to have much higher gene transfer activity than dendrimer, alpha -CDE conjugate and Man- alpha -CDE conjugates (DSM 1.1 and 8.3) in various cells, which are independent of the expression of cell surface mannose receptors. Cellular association of pDNA complexes with dendrimer, alpha -CDE conjugate and Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (DSM 3.3) and their cytotoxic effects differed only very slightly. Surface plasmon resonance study demonstrated that the specific binding activity of Man- alpha -CDE conjugates to concanavalin A was not very strong. Much more conjugation of the mannose moiety to alpha -CDE conjugates provided unfavorable physicochemical properties of pDNA complexes for gene transfer, e.g. the low interaction with pDNA, the low enzymatic stability of pDNA and the lack of pDNA compaction. Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (DSM 3.3) provided gene transfer activity higher than dendrimer and alpha -CDE conjugate in kidney 12 h after intravenous injection in mice. These results suggest the potential use of Man- alpha -CDE conjugate (DSM 3.3) as a non-viral vector.

T1 - Infective keratitis in older patients: a 4 year review, 1998-2002
AN - 19802244; 6273907
AB - BACKGROUND:/aim: There are few clinical series in the literature of infective keratitis in the elderly, even though this age group constitutes a significant proportion of those affected by this condition. The authors aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for infective keratitis in those over 60 years, the causative organisms, antibiotic susceptibilities, visual and tectonic outcome, and surgical intervention rate. METHODS: A retrospective review of all patients aged 60 years and over admitted to the Sydney Eye Hospital with a diagnosis of infective keratitis, between September 1998 and December 2002. RESULTS: 190 patients were identified with a mean age of 75.5 (SD 9.6) years (range 60-101). Local risk factors were found in 93.7%, and systemic risk factors in 27.9%. Organisms were cultured in 62.8%, and 7.9% had positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Perforation or severe thinning occurred in 36% overall, but in 80% with positive HSV PCR. Acute surgical intervention was required in 43.7%, with acute penetrating keratoplasty performed in 17.9%, and 8.9% required evisceration. Mean presenting visual acuity was 1.82 (SD 1.24), equivalent to 6/300, excluding 26.3% with vision of light perception (LP) or worse. Mean final visual acuity was 1.24 (SD 1.16), equivalent to 6/100, excluding 19.5% with vision of LP or worse (p<0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: The elderly represent a distinct clinical group in the context of microbial keratitis. Predisposing factors are very common, they present with poor vision, have a high complication and surgical intervention rate, and a poor visual outcome compared to younger patients. The microbiological spectrum is similar to younger age groups, except that HSV is more common and may increase the risk of severe corneal thinning and perforation. Most bacterial isolates remain sensitive to currently available antibiotic preparations.

T1 - Fine root production and litter input: Its effects on soil carbon
AN - 19639618; 6696420
AB - Carbon storage by forests has potential for contributing to 'Kyoto Protocol' greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, but evidence about C-storage and loss below ground is conflicting. The study addresses why soil carbon stocks are increased by land use change from forest to pasture, but are reduced by planting conifer trees, though not broadleaf trees, onto prior pasture. Can species differences in fine root production and litter input play a role? Addressing that hypothesis, a 1-year pot experiment was established as a model system in a glasshouse. Two tree species, pine (Pinus radiata) and Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus), and two grass species, Kangaroo Grass (Themeda triandra) and Wallaby Grass (Austrodanthonia racemosa), were sown in pots of soil taken from a native pasture with Kangaroo Grass dominant or from an adjacent pine plantation forest. After 3 months, half of the grass pots were defoliated monthly to 7 cm above ground to test for any cutting effect. Fine root production and turnover was monitored via minirhizotrons, with a destructive harvest after 1 year. Fine root oven dry mass at the end of the year varied between species: Kangaroo Grass (17 g/pot), pine (13 g/pot), Blue Gum (8 g/pot), Wallaby Grass (4 g/pot). Cutting significantly reduced fine root production in Kangaroo Grass but not in Wallaby Grass. From minirhizotron monitoring, 70% of the fine root length produced by pine during the year had disappeared, presumably by decomposition, before the final harvest. The equivalent loss for Wallaby Grass was only 26%, for Kangaroo Grass 36%, and for Blue Gum 45%. Despite the faster fine root disappearance under pines than under Kangaroo Grass, soil C declined under pines but increased under Kangaroo Grass as found in the field. Thus the experiment did not support the idea that a lower dead fine root production was the source of decline in soil C under pine. There was only a weak correlation between soil C change and the net amount of live fine root mass produced. However, the soil carbon changes in this study were positively correlated with live fine root length density in the soil. Kangaroo Grass maintained large lengths of very fine roots while pines produced a small length of thick fine roots. Accordingly, it is hypothesized that the increase of soil carbon under Kangaroo Grass compared with pine may be caused more by the activity of live fine roots than by decomposition of fine root mass to humus. This hypothesis, formulated from the model experimental system, needs to be evaluated for field sites where pines have been planted onto pastures.

T1 - Integrated management to reduce rodent damage to lowland rice crops in Indonesia
AN - 17624619; 6242432
AB - Benefits and costs of an integrated management system coordinated at the community level to reduce rodent damage to lowland irrigated rice were measured in West Java, Indonesia, from 1999 to 2002. Four villages, each of 120 ha (70-80 families per village), were involved in the study, two being allocated as treatments and two as controls following a randomised block design. The emphasis was on integrated rodent management with the overall aim of reducing the need for toxic chemicals in rice fields. Rodent damage to rice can be measured at several stages of crop growth. In West Java, monocultures of lowland irrigated rice, cumulative damage to rice during the dry season was 54% at the primordial stage, 32% at the booting stage, but only 16% at the ripening stage. If measured at the ripening stage, the measured value ought to be multiplied by approximately 6.5 to obtain cumulative damage to the rice crop or by 4.2 for an estimate of yield loss. Rice yield can be estimated by farmers directly or by quadrat samples, the former being on average 20% lower than the actual yield. Integrated rodent management increased rice yields more when rats were common, in both dry and wet season crops. For every 1% increase in tiller damage by rats, there was a decrease of 58 kg/ha in rice yield. Wet season crops benefited more from a trap-barrier system (TBS) than dry season crops at the same rat abundance index. The benefit-to-cost ratio for all seasons and years averaged 25:1 but varied considerably from year to year between a low of-2:1 to a high of 63:1. The economic benefit of integrated rodent management was equal to or better than that achieved by conventional management based on synthetic rodenticides.

T1 - Nest predation in a fragmented Afrotropical forest: evidence from natural and artificial nests
AN - 17609279; 6141787
AB - Nest predation accounts for a substantial share of nest failure and low reproductive success in most tropical songbirds. Normally, forest fragmentation leads to an increase in nest predation pressure due to reduced cover, fewer (and poorer) nest sites and predator influxes from the surrounding habitats. To test this hypothesis, we studied natural nesting behaviour and nest success of the white-starred robin (Pogonocichla stellata) in seven Afrotropical forest fragments differing in size and level of habitat disturbance. Based on data from 12 nests, we estimate that 29% of all natural nests initiated by the robins survive to produce fledglings across all fragments. We also conducted an experiment using artificial (plasticine) model-eggs to reveal potential predators and compare relative predation rates amongst fragments. This experiment revealed that small mammals might be the major predators on robin nests at the egg-stage. In addition, it showed that the highest incidences of nest disturbance during this stage were in the most heavily disturbed fragment. This was presumably attributable to an influx of mammalian predators from the surrounding habitats as forest degradation created suitable habitats for them. Such an infiltration was recently reported in this study site. Both nest placement and microhabitat did not significantly affect depredation levels in our experiment. This suggests that depredation was predominantly incidental (i.e. predators mainly encountered nests fortuitously while foraging for other food items), where the likelihood of encountering a nest largely depended upon the prevalence of the principal potential predators-the small mammals.

T1 - A yeast genetic system for the identification and characterization of substrate proteins transferred into host cells by the Legionella pneumophila Dot-Icm system
AN - 17528308; 6230270
AB - The Dot-Icm system is a type IVb secretion system used by Legionella pneumophila to modulate vesicular transport in both protozoan and mammalian host cells. It has been shown that proteins and processes that are highly conserved in all eukaryotic cells are targets for some of the proteins injected by the Dot-Icm system. For example, the Legionella protein RalF was shown previously to be a Dot-Icm substrate that functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the Arf family of eukaryotic small GTP-binding proteins. Here we show that ectopic production of the RalF protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae interferes with yeast growth. Inhibition of yeast growth was found to be dependent on the ability of RalF to function as an Arf-GEF in vivo. The possibility that other Dot-Icm substrate proteins would have the capacity to interfere with yeast growth was used as a rationale to screen plasmid libraries containing random fragments of Legionella chromosomal DNA positioned downstream of a galactose-inducible promoter. This screen identified Legionella proteins that conferred a conditional growth defect when overproduced by yeast cultured in the presence of galactose. Most of the Legionella proteins identified were determined to be substrates of the Dot-Icm system. This screen led to the identification of a new Dot-Icm substrate protein that was called YlfA, for yeast lethal factor A. A paralogue of YlfA was identified on an unlinked region of the Legionella chromosome and this protein was also translocated by the Dot-Icm system. It was determined that a hydrophobic region near the N-terminus of the YlfA protein and an adjacent region predicted to form a coiled-coil domain were necessary for a biological activity that interfered with yeast growth. The YlfA protein did not decorate the Legionella-containing vacuole during the first 7 h of infection but could be observed on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived replicative vacuole and on punctate structures throughout the host cell at later stages. Ectopic production of YlfA in mammalian cells revealed that the N-terminal hydrophobic domain in YlfA was able to localize the protein to early secretory organelles, including endoplasmic reticulum. These studies show that yeast genetics can be exploited to identify and characterize proteins that are injected into host cells by bacterial pathogens that utilize type IV secretion systems for pathogenesis.

T1 - A Brevibacillus choshinensis System That Secretes Cytoplasmic Proteins
AN - 17415683; 6566658
AB - Brevibacillus choshinensis has previously been shown to be a useful strain for the secretion of heterologous proteins via the Sec secretory pathway. This pathway involves the secretion of proteins prior to folding, whereas the alternative TAT (twin-arginine translocation) pathway enables pre-folded proteins to be secreted. We have modified the signal peptide of the Brevibacillus expression vector pNCMO2 to accommodate a Sec avoidance signal as well as the twin arginines required for secretion via the TAT system. Use of this modified signal peptide with the phosphotriesterase OpdA enabled B. choshinensis transformants to express and secrete the enzyme in an active and substantially pure form. The system was also used successfully to secrete two cytoplasmic proteins, the phosphotriesterase HocA from Pseudomonas monteilii and the phenylcarbamate-degrading enzyme, PCD, from Arthrobacter oxydans. The inhibitors carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine and sodium azide were used to confirm that secretion was occurring via the TAT secretion pathway. The modified B. choshinensis system we have developed may have general utility in secreting a wide range of heterologous proteins in active and conveniently processed form.

T1 - Risk-Based Consumption Advice for Farmed Atlantic and Wild Pacific Salmon Contaminated with Dioxins and Dioxin-Like Compounds
AN - 14744058; 10681641
AB - Location-specific, risk-based meal consumption rates for farmed and wild salmon contaminated with dioxins, furans, and dioxin-like PCBs were developed based on the WHO tolerable daily intake. The compounds were measured in farmed and wild salmon collected from around the world, and all risk-based fish consumption rates were developed assuming an average meal size of 227 g. Results showed that modest consumption of farmed salmon contaminated with dioxin-like compounds raised human exposure levels above the lower end of the WHO tolerable daily intake and considerably above background intake levels for adults in the US. Feed appeared to be the source of dioxin-like compounds in farmed salmon.

AN - 14743379; 10681653
AB - An overview is provided of the public health effects of exposure to Florida red tide aerosols caused by Karenia brevis. Data are presented on the toxin structureactivity relationships and the relationship of toxin multiplicity to environmental episodes of pulmonary exposure. The data show that, while there are two structural backbones for the brevetoxin molecules, there are at least 13 different derivatives, each of which possesses a specific toxicity that is correlated to its binding affinity on voltage-sensitive sodium channels.

T1 - Time Course of Gene Expression of Inflammatory Mediators in Rat Lung After Diesel Exhaust Particle Exposure
AN - 14743033; 10681651
AB - Using specific pathogen-free SpragueDawley rats, the expression of mRNA levels of several cytokines was examined following exposure to diesel exhaust particles at concentrations of 5, 35, and 50 mg/kg body weight, and the expression was correlated with inflammatory responses assessed by measuring the influx of cells and protein into the bronchoalveolar space. Cytokine levels were also measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and in vitro Transwell co-culture experiments were performed using alveolar macrophages and lung fibroblasts. Results showed that four genes-interleukin-1 beta ((IL-1 beta ), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2)-were up-regulated within 24 h after diesel exhaust particle exposure. In addition, the protein levels of MCP-1 and MIP-2 went up in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid within the same time period. The expression of mRNA did not always correlate with the cytokine protein levels, however. The up-regulation if iNOS did not lead to a measurable increase of NO metabolic products in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and the up-regulation of IL-1 beta mRNA levels was weak. In the in vitro experiments, the main source of IL-6 and MCP-1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was the lung fibroblasts, rather than alveolar macrophages.

AN - 14742142; 10681652
AB - Karenia brevis can form harmful algal blooms known as Florida red tides, which are annual events in the Gulf of Mexico. The organism is fragile and readily broken up in the surf, releasing brevetoxins into marine waters and forming brevetoxin/sea water aerosols at the airsea interface. A brief overview is presented of the issue, noting recent iterative, synergistic research efforts to discover the underlying biology and biochemistry of K. brevis and aerosolized Florida red tides, as well as effects of exposure in humans.

T1 - Mercury, Food Webs, and Marine Mammals: Implications of Diet and Climate Change for Human Health
AN - 14742078; 10681636
AB - An Ecopath model was used to examine the transfer of methylmercury (MeHg) through the food web in the marine ecosystem of the Faroe Islands, and impact simulations were then performed to evaluate changes in fishing mortality rates and effects of increased sea temperatures due to climate change on MeHg bioaccumulation. The results were evaluated in the context of human dietary consumption compared with standardized tolerable weekly intake limits. Results showed that, under present conditions and climate-change scenarios, MeHg concentrations increased in the ecosystem, suggesting increased human exposure over time. A greater change in MeHg concentrations was found due to changing fishing mortalities.

T1 - Public Health and Economic Consequences of Methyl Mercury Toxicity to the Developing Brain
AN - 14741120; 10681647
AB - An environmentally attributable fraction (EAF) model was used to assess the disease burden and the costs due to methylmercury (MeHg) exposure of the developing brain. The EAF is defined as the percentage of a particular disease category that would be eliminated if environmental risk factors were reduced to their lowest feasible concentrations. To apply the model, the adverse effects of MeHg exposure were reviewed, and the costs of those effects were estimated. A further fraction was applied to parse out the cost of anthropogenic MeHg exposure resulting from emissions of electrical generation facilities in the US. The literature data showed that 637,233 babies born in the US each year have cord blood Hg levels >5.8 mu g/l, a level that has been associated with a small but significant loss of IQ. The decrement in IQ appears to be permanent and irreversible. The aggregate costs of the loss in IQ due to MeHg exposure were estimated at $8.7 billion annually. The attributable cost of MeHg exposure from electrical generation facilities was $1.3 billion annually. The major source of the costs was the loss of earnings over a lifetime.

T1 - Gliomas and Farm Pesticide Exposure in Women: the Upper Midwest Health Study
AN - 14741084; 10681640
AB - As part of the Upper Midwest Health Study conducted in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, the relationship between gliomas, which constitute the most common type of brain tumor in adults, and pesticide exposure in women was examined. Cases included a histologically confirmed primary intracranial glioma diagnosed from January 1995 through January 1997, and controls were women with no diagnosis of glioma. Interviews were conducted to ascertain pesticide exposure via a number of different activities. No association was found between exposure to pesticides groups in different categories and the risk of intracranial glioma, and exposure to individual pesticides did not increase the risk of glioma.

T1 - Inhalation Toxicity of Brevetoxin 3 in Rats Exposed for Twenty-Two Days
AN - 14739533; 10681654
AB - Brevetoxin 3 is a major component of the brevetoxin mixture produced by Karenia brevis, which is responsible for Florida red tides, and of brevetoxin-containing aerosols measured along red tide-affected beaches. In this study, the inhalation toxicity of brevetoxin 3 was examined in male F344/CrlBr rats exposed by nose-only inhalation for 2 h/d, 5 d/week, for up to 22 d. The exposure concentrations were 0, 37, or 237 mu g/m super(3). The rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity, and the histopathology of soft tissues was examined. Significant concentrations of brevetoxin and/or its metabolites were found in liver after 5 and 22 d of exposure to only the high brevetoxin concentration. No evidence was found of inflammation in any organ, however, and no evidence was found for neurotoxicity. Minimal macrophage hyperplasia was noted histologically in lungs of exposed rats, but significant increases in macrophage numbers were not found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Reticulocyte numbers were increased significantly in blood of animals exposed to the highest concentration, but there was no significant effect on erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, or hematocrit. The most significant effect of repeated brevetoxin 3 inhalation was suppression of antibody production by splenic lymphocytes.

T1 - Absorption-enhancing effect of glycyrrhizin induced in the presence of capric acid.
AN - 67712496; 15814227
AB - The absorption-enhancing effect of the simultaneous administration of sodium caprate (Cap-Na) and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (Grz-K) was investigated to clarify an effect of Grz-K. A combination of 0.1% (w/v) Cap-Na and 2% (w/v) Grz-K had a rapid and long-lasting absorption-enhancing activity in Caco-2 cell monolayers under conditions where Cap-Na and Grz-K showed a weak and no activity, respectively. The simultaneous treatment of a Caco-2 cell monolayer with Cap-Na and Grz-K showed no change in intracellular calcium ion level, although a major mechanism of absorption-enhancing effect for Cap-Na was elevation of intracellular calcium ion level. On the other hand, the simultaneous enhancing effect of Cap-Na and Grz-K was inhibited by H7, a PKC inhibitor. Possibly, Grz-K showed an absorption-enhancing effect via PKC cellular signaling pathway after penetration into cell according to increasing membrane permeability by Cap-Na. The absorption of sCT by the rat colon was enhanced by a combination of 0.1% (w/v) Cap-Na and 2% (w/v) Grz-K, and its effect continued even 9h after the onset of the experiment. Furthermore, the simultaneous treatment of 0.1% (w/v) Cap-Na and 2% (w/v) Grz-K showed a negligible histological changes to the colon mucosal membrane and a negligible toxicity on Caco-2 cell monolayer. A combination of Cap-Na and Grz-K shows a synergistic absorption-enhancing effect with little mucosal injury, which is applicable to colon-specific delivery.

T1 - The physical and surface chemical characteristics of activated carbons and the adsorption of methylene blue from wastewater.
AN - 67537911; 15780280
AB - Adsorption of a basic dye, methylene blue, from aqueous solutions onto as-received activated carbons and acid-treated carbons was investigated. The physical and surface chemical properties of the activated carbons were characterized using BET-N(2) adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and mass titration. It was found that acid treatment had little effect on carbon textural characteristics but significantly changed the surface chemical properties, resulting in an adverse effect on dye adsorption. The physical properties of activated carbon, such as surface area and pore volume, have little effect on dye adsorption, while the pore size distribution and the surface chemical characteristics play important roles in dye adsorption. The pH value of the solution also influences the adsorption capacity significantly. For methylene blue, a higher pH of solution favors the adsorption capacity. The kinetic adsorption of methylene blue on all carbons follows a pseudo-second-order equation.

T1 - A first-order statistical smoothing approximation for the coherent wave field in random porous random media.
AN - 85378640; pmid-15898626
AB - An important dissipation mechanism for waves in randomly inhomogeneous poroelastic media is the effect of wave-induced fluid flow. In the framework of Biot's theory of poroelasticity, this mechanism can be understood as scattering from fast into slow compressional waves. To describe this conversion scattering effect in poroelastic random media, the dynamic characteristics of the coherent wavefield using the theory of statistical wave propagation are analyzed. In particular, the method of statistical smoothing is applied to Biot's equations of poroelasticity. Within the accuracy of the first-order statistical smoothing an effective wave number of the coherent field, which accounts for the effect of wave-induced flow, is derived. This wave number is complex and involves an integral over the correlation function of the medium's fluctuations. It is shown that the known one-dimensional (1-D) result can be obtained as a special case of the present 3-D theory. The expression for the effective wave number allows to derive a model for elastic attenuation and dispersion due to wave-induced fluid flow. These wavefield attributes are analyzed in a companion paper.

T1 - Selection of hydrothermal pre-treatment conditions of waste sludge destruction using multicriteria decision-making.
AN - 67487451; 15748803
AB - The effectiveness of hydrothermal treatment for the destruction of the organic content of sludge waste was investigated. The sludge sampled in this study contained approximately 2% solids. The experimental program consisted of hydrothermal treatment experiments conducted in a batch reactor at temperatures between 100 and 250 degrees C, with the addition of an oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) in the range of 0-150% with reference to TCOD, and reaction times of up to 60 min. The results suggested that the availability of oxidant, reaction temperature and reaction time were the determining factors for COD removal. A significant fraction of the COD remaining after treatment consisted of the dissolved COD. The results confirmed that hydrothermal treatment proceeds through hydrolysis resulting in the production of dissolved organic products followed by COD removal through oxidation. Two MCDM chemometrics methods, PROMETHEE and GAIA, were applied to process the large data matrix so as to facilitate the selection of the most suitable hydrothermal conditions for sludge destruction. Two possible scenarios were produced from this analysis-one depended on the use of high temperatures and no oxidant, while the second offered a choice of compromise solutions at lower temperatures but with the use of at least some oxidant. Thus, for the final choice of operating conditions, the decision maker needs local knowledge of the costs and available infrastructure. In principle, such information could be added as further criteria to the data matrix and new rankings obtained.

T1 - Xenoestrogens at Picomolar to Nanomolar Concentrations Trigger Membrane Estrogen Receptor-[alpha]-Mediated Ca sup 2+ Fluxes and Prolactin Release in GH3/B6 Pituitary Tumor Cells
AN - 21428260; 12478208
AB - Xenoestrogens (XEs) are widespread in our environment and are known to have deleterious effects in animal (and perhaps human) populations. Acting as inappropriate estrogens, XEs are thought to interfere with endogenous estrogens such as estradiol (E2) to disrupt normal estrogenic signaling. We investigated the effects of E2 versus several XEs representing organochlorine pesticides (dieldrin, endosulfan, o',p'-dichlorodiphenylethylene), plastics manufacturing by-products/detergents (nonylphenol, bisphenol A), a phytoestrogen (coumestrol), and a synthetic estrogen (diethylstilbestrol) on the pituitary tumor cell subline GH3/B6/F10, previously selected for expression of high levels of membrane estrogen receptor-alpha. Picomolar to nanomolar concentrations of both E2 and XEs caused intracellular Ca2+ changes within 30 sec of administration. Each XE produced a unique temporal pattern of Ca2+ elevation. Removing Ca2+ from the extracellular solution abolished both spontaneous and XE-induced intracellular Ca2+ changes, as did 10 microM nifedipine. This suggests that XEs mediate their actions via voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. None of the Ca2+ fluxes came from intracellular Ca2+ stores. E2 and each XE also caused unique time- and concentration-dependent patterns of prolactin (PRL) secretion that were largely complete within 3 min of administration. PRL secretion was also blocked by nifedipine, demonstrating a correlation between Ca2+ influx and PRL secretion. These data indicate that at very low concentrations, XEs mediate membrane-initiated intracellular CCa2+ increases resulting in PRL secretion via a mechanism similar to that for E2, but with distinct patterns and potencies that could explain their abilities to disrupt endocrine functions.

T1 - Driving Up the Cost of Clean Air
AN - 21424362; 12478415
AB - The high volume of automobile transportation in the United States is accompanied by complex problems such as dependence on foreign oil, rising air pollution, and an increase in traffic accidents. These problems represent externalities, or costs not covered in the purchase prices of the vehicles that contribute to them. A number of possible solutions have been proposed to counter these problems. One strategy, implementation of corporate average fuel economy standards, has been in place since 1975. Some experts say these controversial standards have outlived their usefulness while others contend they simply need retooling. Meanwhile, experts continue to debate the feasibility and effectiveness of other innovations such as feebates, pay-at-the-pump and pay-as-you-drive insurance scenarios, and gasoline taxes.

T1 - Here Comes Hypercar!
AN - 21420347; 12478430
AB - SUVs and trucks retain a large share of U.S. automobile sales, despite their heavy fuel use and the fact that gas prices remain high. As a competitive, environmentally friendly alternative to conventional SUVs, researchers at the Rocky Mountain Institute have created the Hypercar(R) Revolution. The Revolution could achieve the equivalent of Environmental Protection Agency mileage ratings as high as 108 miles per gallon, depending on the fuel source. A lightweight carbon fiber composite body would demand less power and provide greater crash durability. Developers believe they can overcome most, if not all, of the obstacles that stand in the way of making commercial-scale production of these vehicles a reality.

T1 - Chemical Mixtures: Considering the Evolution of Toxicology and Chemical Assessment
AN - 21408337; 12478428
AB - The assessment of chemical mixtures is a complex topic for toxicologists, regulators, and the public. In this article the linkage between the science of toxicology and the needs of governmental regulatory agencies in the United States is explored through an overview of environmental regulations enacted over the past century and a brief history of modern toxicology. One of the goals of this overview is to encourage both regulators and scientists to consider the benefits and limitations of this science-regulatory relationship as they tackle existing issues such as chemical mixtures. It is clear that a) over the past 100 years chemical regulation and toxicologic research, have in large part, shared a common emphasis on characterization and regulation of individual chemicals. But chemical mixtures have been, and continue to be, evaluated at hazardous waste sites around the United States. For this reason the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for chemical mixtures assessment are also reviewed. These guidelines highlight the current practice of mixtures assessment, which relies primarily on the existing single-chemical database. It is also clear that b) the science and assessment of chemical mixtures are moving forward through the combined efforts of regulatory agencies and scientists from a broad range of disciplines, including toxicology. Because toxicology is at this exciting crossroads, particular attention should be paid to the forces (e.g., public demands, regulatory needs, funding, academic interests) that both promote and limit the growth of this expanding discipline.

T1 - Coupling Aggressive Mass Removal with Microbial Reductive Dechlorination for Remediation of DNAPL Source Zones: A Review and Assessment
AN - 21406345; 12478423
AB - The infiltration of dense non-aqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) into the saturated subsurface typically produces a highly contaminated zone that serves as a long-term source of dissolved-phase groundwater contamination. Applications of aggressive physical-chemical technologies to such source zones may remove 90% of the contaminant mass under favorable conditions. The remaining contaminant mass, however, can create a rebounding of aqueous-phase concentrations within the treated zone. Stimulation of microbial reductive dechlorination within the source zone after aggressive mass removal has recently been proposed as a promising staged-treatment remediation technology for transforming the remaining contaminant mass. This article reviews available laboratory and field evidence that supports the development of a treatment strategy that combines aggressive source-zone removal technologies with subsequent promotion of sustained microbial reductive dechlorination. Physical-chemical source-zone treatment technologies compatible with posttreatment stimulation of microbial activity are identified, and studies examining the requirements and controls (i.e., limits) of reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes are investigated. Illustrative calculations are presented to explore the potential effects of source-zone management alternatives. Results suggest that, for the favorable conditions assumed in these calculations (i.e., statistical homogeneity of aquifer properties, known source-zone DNAPL distribution, and successful bioenhancement in the source zone), source longevity may be reduced by as much as an order of magnitude when physical-chemical source-zone treatment is coupled with reductive dechlorination.

T1 - Differential Contributions of rOat1 (Slc22a6) and rOat3 (Slc22a8) to the in Vivo Renal Uptake of Uremic Toxins in Rats
AN - 21401744; 6642964
AB - Purpose.: Evidence suggests that uremic toxins such as hippurate (HA), indoleacetate (IA), indoxyl sulfate (IS), and 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionate (CMPF) promote the progression of renal failure by damaging tubular cells via rat organic anion transporter 1 (rOat1) and rOat3 on the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubules. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the in vivo transport mechanism responsible for their renal uptake. Methods.: We investigated the uremic toxins transport mechanism using the abdominal aorta injection technique [i.e., kidney uptake index (KUI) method], assuming minimal mixing of the bolus with serum protein from circulating serum. Results.: Maximum mixing was estimated to be 5.8% of rat serum by measuring estrone sulfate extraction after addition of 0-90% rat serum to the arterial injection solution. Saturable renal uptake of p-aminohippurate (PAH, K sub(m) = 408 kM) and benzylpenicillin (PCG, K sub(m) = 346 kM) was observed, respectively. The uptake of PAH and PCG was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by unlabeled PCG (IC sub(50) = 47.3 mM) and PAH (IC sub(50) = 512 kM), respectively, suggesting that different transporters are responsible for their uptake. A number of uremic toxins inhibited the renal uptake of PAH and PCG. Excess PAH, which could inhibit rOat1 and rOat3, completely inhibited the saturable uptake of IA, IS, and CMPF by the kidney, and by 85% for HA uptake. PCG inhibited the total saturable uptake of HA, IA, IS, and CMPF by 10%, 10%, 45%, and 65%, respectively, at the concentration selective for rOat3. Conclusions.: rOat1 could be the primary mediator of the renal uptake of HA and IA, accounting for approximately 75% and 90% of their transport, respectively. rOat1 and rOat3 contributed equally to the renal uptake of IS. rOat3 could account for about 65% of the uptake of CMPF under in vivo physiologic conditions. These results suggest that rOat1 and rOat3 play an important role in the renal uptake of uremic toxins and the induction of their nephrotoxicity.

AN - 21399015; 12478417
AB - Protecting the environment continues to be a top priority for most Americans. Some examples of major environmental concerns include water and air pollution, hazardous waste disposal, use of toxic chemicals, and environmental threats to children. In America's Environmental Report Card: Are We Making the Grade? Harvey Blatt provides a comprehensive status report on the following nine selected complex environmental problems: water pollution, dangers of floods, leaching of garbage from landfills, pesticide runoff, depletion of energy resources, global warming, air pollution, ozone depletion, and radiation from nuclear power plants and the storage of nuclear wastes. He also describes whether the situation with respect to these issues is deteriorating or improving and what actions can be taken at the individual, corporate, and political levels to ensure safe and adequate resources for future generations.

T1 - The Induction of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor by Ultrafine Carbon Black Contributes to the Increase of Alveolar-Capillary Permeability
AN - 21385107; 12478421
AB - Ultrafine carbon black (ufCB) can cause proinflammatory response and increase alveolar-capillary permeability. However, the mechanism underlying the increased permeability is not well characterized. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is originally recognized as a vascular permeability factor. Oxidative stress generated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stimulates VEGF gene expression. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of VEGF in ufCB-induced alveolar-capillary permeability. Intratracheal instillation of 200 microg ufCB in mice caused a significant and sustained increase of total proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, with the maximal increase at 21 hr postinstillation. The influx of neutrophils did not significantly increase until 16 hr. It reached the highest level at 21 hr and returned to the basal level by 42 hr. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha was significantly elevated only at 4 hr. ufCB induced significant increases of VEGF in BAL fluid throughout the study period, with the peak increase at 16 hr. The nonsecreted isoform VEGF188 was not altered after 16 hr of exposure to ufCB. Moreover, there was a strong correlation between VEGF and total proteins in BAL fluid (R2 = 0.7352, p 0.01). In vivo study supported the role of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) in ufCB-induced VEGF release and protein leakage. The involvement of ROSs was strengthened by the fact that interventions with N-acetylcysteine prevented ufCB-induced generation of ROSs and VEGF in vitro. Our study for the first time demonstrates that ufCB induces the production of VEGF, which is associated with the increase of alveolar-capillary permeability. The induction of VEGF by ufCB acts through an ROS-dependent pathway.

T1 - Urinary Concentrations of Bisphenol A and 4-Nonylphenol in a Human Reference Population
AN - 21385079; 12478413
AB - Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, which are used in baby bottles, as protective coatings on food containers, and for composites and sealants in dentistry. 4-Nonylphenol (NP) is used to make nonylphenol ethoxylates, nonionic surfactants applied as emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, or stabilizing agents in industrial, agricultural, and domestic consumer products. The potential for human exposure to BPA and NP is high because of their widespread use. We measured BPA and NP in archived urine samples from a reference population of 394 adults in the United States using isotope-dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The concentration ranges of BPA and NP were similar to those observed in other human populations. BPA was detected in 95% of the samples examined at concentrations or = 0.1 microg/L urine; the geometric mean and median concentrations were 1.33 microg/L (1.36 microg/g creatinine) and 1.28 microg/L (1.32 microg/g creatinine), respectively; the 95th percentile concentration was 5.18 microg/L (7.95 microg/g creatinine). NP was detected in 51% of the samples examined or = 0.1 microg/L. The median and 95th percentile concentrations were 0.1 microg/L and 1.57 microg/L (1.39 microg/g creatinine), respectively. The frequent detection of BPA suggests widespread exposure to this compound in residents of the United States. The lower frequency of detection of NP than of BPA could be explained by a lower exposure of humans to NP, by different pharmacokinetic factors (i.e., absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination), by the fact that 4-n-nonylphenol--the measured NP isomer--represents a small percentage of the NP used in commercial mixtures, or a combination of all of the above. Additional research is needed to determine the best urinary biomarker(s) to assess exposure to NP. Despite the sample population's nonrepresentativeness of the U.S. population (although sample weights were used to improve the extent to which the results represent the U.S. population) and relatively small size, this study provides the first reference range of human internal dose levels of BPA and NP in a demographically diverse human population.

T1 - Ambient Air Pollution and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Review of the Literature
AN - 21375316; 12478414
AB - Over the last decade or so, a large number of studies have investigated the possible adverse effects of ambient air pollution on birth outcomes. We reviewed these studies, which were identified by a systematic search of the main scientific databases. Virtually all reviewed studies were population based, with information on exposure to air pollution derived from routine monitoring sources. Overall, there is evidence implicating air pollution in adverse effects on different birth outcomes, but the strength of the evidence differs between outcomes. The evidence is sufficient to infer a causal relationship between particulate air pollution and respiratory deaths in the postneonatal period. For air pollution and birth weight the evidence suggests causality, but further studies are needed to confirm an effect and its size and to clarify the most vulnerable period of pregnancy and the role of different pollutants. For preterm births and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) the evidence as yet is insufficient to infer causality, but the available evidence justifies further studies. Molecular epidemiologic studies suggest possible biologic mechanisms for the effect on birth weight, premature birth, and IUGR and support the view that the relation between pollution and these birth outcomes is genuine. For birth defects, the evidence base so far is insufficient to draw conclusions. In terms of exposure to specific pollutants, particulates seem the most important for infant deaths, and the effect on IUGR seems linked to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, but the existing evidence does not allow precise identification of the different pollutants or the timing of exposure that can result in adverse pregnancy outcomes.

T1 - Effects of Ammonium Perchlorate on Thyroid Function in Developing Fathead Minnows, Pimephales promelas
AN - 21372631; 12478427
AB - Perchlorate is a known environmental contaminant, largely due to widespread military use as a propellant. Perchlorate acts pharmacologically as a competitive inhibitor of thyroidal iodide uptake in mammals, but the impacts of perchlorate contamination in aquatic ecosystems and, in particular, the effects on fish are unclear. Our studies aimed to investigate the effects of concentrations of ammonium perchlorate that can occur in the environment (1, 10, and 100 mg/L) on the development of fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas. For these studies, exposures started with embryos of 24-hr postfertilization and were terminated after 28 days. Serial sectioning of thyroid follicles showed thyroid hyperplasia with increased follicular epithelial cell height and reduced colloid in all groups of fish that had been exposed to perchlorate for 28 days, compared with control fish. Whole-body thyroxine (T4) content (a measure of total circulating T4 in fish exposed to 100 mg/L perchlorate was elevated compared with the T4 content of control fish, but 3,5,3-triiodothyronine (T3) content was not significantly affected in any exposure group. Despite the apparent regulation of T3, after 28 days of exposure to ammonium perchlorate, fish exposed to the two higher levels (10 and 100 mg/L) were developmentally retarded, with a lack of scales and poor pigmentation, and significantly lower wet weight and standard length than were control fish. Our study indicates that environmental levels of ammonium perchlorate affect thyroid function in fish and that in the early life stages these effects may be associated with developmental retardation.

T1 - Intoxication from an Accidentally Ingested Lead Shot Retained in the Gastrointestinal Tract
AN - 21372589; 12478395
AB - A 45-year-old woman was referred to the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health in January 2002 because of increased blood lead concentrations of unknown origin. She suffered from malaise, fatigue, and diffuse gastrointestinal symptoms. She had a blood lead level of 550 microg/L (normal range 40 microg/L). The patient had not been occupationally exposed to lead, and no potential lead sources, such as food products or lead-glazed pottery, could be identified. Her food habits were normal, but she did consume game occasionally. Clinical examination, including standard neurologic examination, was normal. No anemia was present. Laboratory tests showed an increased excretion of lead in the urine, but there were no signs of microproteinuria. An abdominal X ray in October 2002 revealed a 6-mm rounded metal object in the colon ascendens. Before the object could be further localized, the patient contracted winter vomiting disease (gastroenteritis) and the metal object was spontaneously released from the colon during a diarrhea attack. The object was a lead shot pellet, possibly but not normally used in Sweden for hunting wild boar or roe deer. Blood lead levels slowly decreased. Nine months later the patient's blood lead levels were almost normal (approximately 70 microg/L) and her symptoms had almost completely disappeared. In this case, a rare source of lead exposure was found. In investigations of blood lead elevations of unknown origin, we recommend abdominal X ray in parallel with repeated blood lead determinations.

T1 - Domoic Acid Transfer to Milk: Evaluation of a Potential Route of Neonatal Exposure
AN - 19767616; 6489377
AB - Domoic acid (DA), produced by the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia, is a glutamate analog and a neurotoxin in humans. During diatom blooms, DA can contaminate filter-feeding organisms, such as shellfish, and can be transferred by ingestion to higher trophic levels. Several intoxication events involving both humans and various marine mammals have been attributed to DA. Affected organisms show neurological symptoms such as seizures, ataxia, headweaving, and stereotypic scratching, as well as prolonged deficits in memory and learning. Neonatal animals have been shown to be substantially more sensitive to DA than adults. However, it has not been demonstrated whether DA can be transferred to nursing young from DA-exposed mothers. This study demonstrates transfer of DA from spiked milk (0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg) to the plasma of nursing neonatal rats and an overall longer DA retention in milk than in plasma after 8 hr in exposed dams. DA was detectable in milk up to 24 hr after exposure (1.0 mg/kg) of the mothers, although the amount of DA transferred to milk after exposure was not sufficient to cause acute symptoms in neonates.

T1 - Impact of Occupational Exposure on Lead Levels in Women
AN - 17644511; 6489379
AB - In 1994, 207 women participated in a study designed to examine the effects of occupational exposure and various lifestyle factors on bone and blood lead levels. In vivo measurements of Pb concentrations in tibia were performed by X-ray fluorescence. All 108 former smelter employees and 99 referents provided blood samples and answered a questionnaire on lifestyle characteristics and the relevant medical history. Lead concentrations in tibia and blood were significantly higher in the exposed group. The difference in mean bone Pb concentrations of the two groups is markedly greater than the difference in the mean blood Pb concentrations, supporting the view that bone Pb measurements are a more reliable determinant of Pb body burden. Chronic exposure did not result in any statistically significant differences in adverse pregnancy outcomes. A significantly lower age at the onset of menopause in occupationally exposed women may suggest that Pb causes adverse changes in the pattern of estrus and menses. The exposed women had lower bone Pb concentrations than those found in most studies on predominantly male workers. Blood Pb concentrations remain increased in women long after the cessation of occupational exposure, reflecting the importance of the endogenous exposure. The endogenous exposure relation found for postmenopausal exposed women is consistent with data on male smelter workers, whereas the relation found for premenopausal women is significantly lower. This suggests that sex plays an important role in the metabolism of lead, and current models of exposure extrapolated from male data may be inappropriate for use on women.

T1 - Shifts in open-ocean fish communities coinciding with the commencement of commercial fishing
AN - 17610019; 6216346
AB - We identify changes in the pelagic fish community of the tropical Pacific Ocean by comparing recent data collected by observers on longline fishing vessels with data from a 1950s scientific survey when industrial fishing commenced. A major shift in size composition and indices of species abundance and community biomass accompanied the start of fishing. The largest and most abundant predators, such as sharks and large tunas, suffered the greatest declines in abundance (21% on average). They also showed striking reductions in mean body mass. For example, the mean mass of blue shark (Prionace glauca) was 52 kg in the 1950s compared to 22 kg in the 1990s. The estimated abundance of this species was 13% of that in the 1950s. Overall, the biomass of large predators fell by a factor of 10 between the periods. By contrast, several small and formerly rare species increased in abundance, e.g., pelagic stingray (Dasyatis violacea). However, the increases in small species did not balance the reductions in the biomass of large predators. Of three possible explanations (fishing, environmental variation, and sampling bias), available evidence indicates fishing to be the most likely cause for the observed patterns.

T1 - Respiratory Morbidity in Office Workers in a Water-Damaged Building
AN - 17596594; 6489380
AB - We conducted a study on building-related respiratory disease and associated social impact in an office building with water incursions in the northeastern United States. An initial questionnaire had 67% participation (888/1,327). Compared with the U.S. adult population, prevalence ratios were 2.2-2.5 for wheezing, lifetime asthma, and current asthma, 3.3 for adult-onset asthma, and 3.4 for symptoms improving away from work (p < 0.05). Two-thirds (66/103) of the adult- onset asthma arose after occupancy, with an incidence rate of 1.9/1,000 person-years before building occupancy and 14.5/1,000 person-years after building occupancy. We conducted a second survey on 140 respiratory cases, 63 subjects with fewer symptoms, and 44 comparison subjects. Health-related quality of life decreased with increasing severity of respiratory symptoms and in those with work-related symptoms. Symptom status was not associated with job satisfaction or how often jobs required hard work. Respiratory health problems accounted for one-third of sick leave, and respiratory cases with work-related symptoms had more respiratory sick days than those without work-related symptoms (9.4 vs. 2.4 days/year; p < 0.01). Abnormal lung function and/or breathing medication use was found in 67% of respiratory cases, in 38% of participants with fewer symptoms, and in 11% of the comparison group (p < 0.01), with similar results in never-smokers. Postoccupancy-onset asthma was associated with less atopy than preoccupancy-onset asthma. Occupancy of the water-damaged building was associated with onset and exacerbation of respiratory conditions, confirmed by objective medical tests. The morbidity and lost work time burdened both employees and employers.

T1 - An optimization method for the identification of minimal sets of discriminating gene markers: Application to cultivar identification in wheat
AN - 17573029; 6386150
AB - A potentially large number of molecular markers are available for identifying genotypes in various species. For wheat, cultivar identity is an important determinant for end-use segregation and for payment of end-point royalties and grower premiums. A number of dominant DNA markers, that give either a positive or negative response, have been developed previously for wheat cultivar identification. This paper gives a method for identifying minimal marker sets for a given cultivar group, for example those grown in a specific geographical zone. It is based on an integer linear programming formulation of the problem, and can find all minimal marker sets for the group if required. The paper then describes the production of two software packages, GGDS and GGIP, that incorporate this methodology. Various practical issues are also discussed. These packages enable the rapid selection of minimal marker sets for the efficient discrimination of any sample set where the marker responses of the samples are known. They are already being used by the Australian wheat industry.

T1 - How Does Host Abundance Affect Oviposition and Fecundity of Mnesampela Privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)?
AN - 17436752; 6201110
AB - In native forests in Australia, Mnesampela privata (Guenee) is uncommon, but in plantations, populations can outbreak. Two field trials (GES1 and GES2) were used to test whether oviposition on individual hosts by M. privata increases under plantation conditions of high host abundance. Oviposition on designated target trees was recorded over two consecutive seasons in arboreta where the relative abundance of preferred Eucalyptus hosts decreased, whereas the relative abundance of less preferred or noneucalypt trees increased. Neither trial supported the hypothesis that more eggs are laid on individual hosts when surrounded by trees of the same species. On the contrary, in the third arboretum type in GES2 (lowest relative abundance of eucalypts), more eggs were laid on target eucalypts whose immediate neighboring trees were noneucalypts. The average size of egg clutches increased between 1.3 and 11.7 times from the first to the second season of surveys, and the weight of females increased over the two consecutive seasons, which may have explained the increase in egg clutch size. It is proposed that outbreaks of M. privata occur in eucalypt plantations because high host abundance (and presumably also quality) drives the development of populations that are larger than can be supported by native forests.

T1 - Pulmonary Effects of Indoor- and Outdoor-Generated Particles in Children with Asthma
AN - 17384126; 6489383
AB - Most particulate matter (PM) health effects studies use outdoor (ambient) PM as a surrogate for personal exposure. However, people spend most of their time indoors exposed to a combination of indoor-generated particles and ambient particles that have infiltrated. Thus, it is important to investigate the differential health effects of indoor- and ambient-generated particles. We combined our recently adapted recursive model and a predictive model for estimating infiltration efficiency to separate personal exposure (E) to PM sub(2.5) (PM with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m) into its indoor-generated (E sub(ig)) and ambient- generated (E sub(ag)) components for 19 children with asthma. We then compared E sub(ig) and E sub(ag) to changes in exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), a marker of airway inflammation. Based on the recursive model with a sample size of eight children, E sub(ag) was marginally associated with increases in eNO [5.6 ppb per 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(2.5); 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.6 to 11.9; p = 0.08]. E sub(ig) was not associated with eNO (-0.19 ppb change per 10 mu g/m super(3)). Our predictive model allowed us to estimate E sub(ag) and E sub(ig) for all 19 children. For those combined estimates, only E sub(ag) was significantly associated with an increase in eNO (E sub(ag): 5.0 ppb per 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(2.5); 95% CI, 0.3 to 9.7; p = 0.04; E sub(ig): 3.3 ppb per 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(2.5); 95% CI, -1.1 to 7.7; p = 0.15). Effects were seen only in children who were not using corticosteroid therapy. We conclude that the ambient-generated component of PM sub(2.5) exposure is consistently associated with increases in eNO and the indoor-generated component is less strongly associated with eNO.

T1 - Alkyl Phenols and Diethylhexyl Phthalate in Tissues of Sheep Grazing Pastures Fertilized with Sewage Sludge or Inorganic Fertilizer
AN - 17383462; 6489375
AB - We studied selected tissues from ewes and their lambs that were grazing pastures fertilized with either sewage sludge (treated) or inorganic fertilizer (control) and determined concentrations of alkylphenols and phthalates in these tissues. Mean tissue concentrations of alkylphenols were relatively low ( 20,000 mu g/kg in many tissue samples). The use of sludge as a fertilizer was not associated with consistently increased concentrations of either alkylphenols or phthalates in the tissues of animals grazing treated pastures relative to levels in control animal tissues. Concentrations of the two classes of chemicals differed but were of a similar order of magnitude in liver and muscle as well as in fat. Concentrations of each class of compound were broadly similar in tissues derived from ewes and lambs. Although there were significant differences (p < 0.01 or p < 0.001) between years (cohorts) in mean tissue concentrations of both nonylphenol (NP) and phthalate in each of the tissues from both ewes and lambs, the differences were not attributable to either the age (6 months or 5 years) of the animal or the duration of exposure to treatments. Octylphenol concentrations were generally undetectable. There was no consistent cumulative outcome of prolonged exposure on the tissue concentrations of either class of pollutant in any ewe tissue. Mean tissue concentrations of phthalate were higher (p < 0.001) in the liver and kidney fat of male compared with female lambs. We suggest that the addition of sewage sludge to pasture is unlikely to cause large increases in tissue concentrations of NP and phthalates in sheep and other animals with broadly similar diets and digestive systems (i.e., domestic ruminants) grazing such pasture.

T1 - Chlorination Disinfection By-products and Pancreatic Cancer Risk
AN - 17381560; 6489371
AB - Chlorination disinfection by-products (CDBPs) are produced during the treatment of water with chlorine to remove bacterial contamination. CDBPs have been associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. There is also some evidence that they may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. We report results from a population-based case-control study of 486 incident cases of pancreatic cancer and 3,596 age- and sex-matched controls. Exposure to chlorination by-products was estimated by linking lifetime residential histories to two different databases containing information on CDBP levels in municipal water supplies. Logistic regression analysis found no evidence of increased pancreatic cancer risk at higher CDBP concentrations (all odds ratios < 1.3). Null findings were also obtained assuming a latency period for pancreatic cancer induction of 3, 8, or 13 years.

T1 - Age-Related Differences in Susceptibility to Carcinogenesis. II. Approaches for Application and Uncertainty Analyses for Individual Genetically Acting Carcinogens
AN - 17380972; 6489385
AB - In an earlier report we developed a quantitative likelihood-based analysis of the differences in sensitivity of rodents to mutagenic carcinogens across three life stages (fetal, birth to weaning, and weaning to 60 days) relative to exposures in adult life. Here we draw implications for assessing human risks for full lifetime exposures, taking into account three types of uncertainties in making projections from the rodent data: uncertainty in the central estimates of the life- stage-specific sensitivity factors estimated earlier, uncertainty from chemical-to-chemical differences in life-stage-specific sensitivities for carcinogenesis, and uncertainty in the mapping of rodent life stages to human ages/exposure periods. Among the uncertainties analyzed, the mapping of rodent life stages to human ages/exposure periods is most important quantitatively (a range of several-fold in estimates of the duration of the human equivalent of the highest sensitivity "birth to weaning" period in rodents). The combined effects of these uncertainties are estimated with Monte Carlo analyses. Overall, the estimated population arithmetic mean risk from lifetime exposures at a constant milligrams per kilogram body weight level to a generic mutagenic carcinogen is about 2.8-fold larger than expected from adult-only exposure with 5-95% confidence limits of 1.5-to 6-fold. The mean estimates for the 0- to 2-year and 2- to 15-year periods are about 35- 55% larger than the 10- and 3-fold sensitivity factor adjustments recently proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The present results are based on data for only nine chemicals, including five mutagens. Risk inferences will be altered as data become available for other chemicals.

T1 - The World Trade Center Residents' Respiratory Health Study: New-Onset Respiratory Symptoms and Pulmonary Function
AN - 16206335; 6489369
AB - The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) on 11 September 2001 in New York City resulted in the massive release of pulverized dust and combustion products. The dust and smoke settled in the surrounding area, which encompassed a large residential community. We hypothesized that previously normal residents in the community surrounding the former WTC would have an increased incidence of persistent respiratory symptoms and abnormalities in screening spirometry. A hybrid cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study using a symptom-based questionnaire and onsite screening spirometry in residents in an exposed area and in a control area was performed 12 plus or minus 4 months after the collapse. Surveys were analyzed from 2,812 residents. New-onset respiratory symptoms were described by 55.8% of residents in the exposed area, compared with 20.1% in the control area after the event. Persistent new-onset symptoms were identified in 26.4 versus 7.5% of residents in the exposed area versus control area, respectively. No differences in screening spirometry between the groups were detected. A small pilot study suggested the possibility of an increase in bronchial hyperresponsiveness in exposed participants with persistent symptoms. The data demonstrate an increased rate of new-onset and persistent respiratory health effects in residents near the former WTC compared with a control population.

T1 - Evidence of Interaction Between Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Phthalates in Relation to Human Sperm Motility
AN - 14732332; 10680149
AB - An exploratory analysis was conducted of the potential statistical interaction between serum and urinary levels of PCBs and phthalates, respectively, in an ongoing study on human semen quality in Massachusetts. The study subjects consisted of men who were partners in subfertile couples seeking infertility diagnoses. Among the phthalates, highest median levels were found for monoethyl phthalate, followed by monobutyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, and monomethyl phthalate, while the median concentration of the sum of PCBs was 212 ng/g lipid. Interactions were found between monobutyl phthalate and monobenzyl phthalate with enzyme-inducing PCBs, total PCBs, and PCB-153 in relation to low sperm motility.

T1 - Repolarization Changes Induced by Air Pollution in Ischemic Heart Disease Patients
AN - 14731784; 10680151
AB - In patients with coronary artery disease, the associations between daily variations in particulate air pollution and repolarization electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters representing abnormalities in the myocardia substrate and increased vulnerability of myocardium to arrhythmias were assessed. The study was conducted in Erfurt, Germany. Concentrations of ambient air pollutants were measured at a fixed monitoring site representing urban background levels. Results showed that increased levels of particulate air pollution were associated with significant changes in ECG repolarization parameters reflecting myocardial substrate and vulnerability, especially the QT interval duration corrected for heart rate, T-wave complexity, and T-wave amplitude. Most of the changes in repolarization due to elevated air pollution, including ultrafine particles, accumulation mode particles, PM sub(2.5) organic carbon, and elemental C, began immediately.

T1 - The Precautionary Principle and Risk Perception: Experimental Studies in the EMF Area
AN - 14731704; 10680145
AB - Results are summarized from two experiments conducted to explore whether scientific knowledge about electromagnetic field (EMF) risks affected risk perception. In the first experiment, health-related precautionary measures served as stimuli, and in the second, public perception was used. Results from the first experiment showed that the feeling of being threatened was more prevalent in the three precaution conditions than in the no-precaution condition, and the second experiment indicated that public participation precautionary measures did not increase trust in public-health protection. The overall results suggested that precautionary measures implemented to reassure the public about EMF risk potentials appeared to produce the opposite effect.

AB - Three recent studies that have examined the relation between the exposure of pregnant women to selected pesticides and birth outcomes have found significant relations for decreased birth size, decreased head circumference with levels of paraoxonase I activity as a modifier, and decreased gestational age at birth, respectively. The studies are examined here, and the reasons why they have not shown consistent relationships between exposure and birth outcomes are discussed, focusing on differences in the exposure settings and the exposure assessments.

T1 - Variation in Organophosphate Pesticide Metabolites in Urine of Children Living in Agricultural Communities
AN - 14730460; 10680161
AB - Dialkyl phosphate compounds were measured in urine samples collected from children of migrant farmworkers in three separate communities that hosted different agricultural industries using various types of organophosphate pesticides, and the results were compared with samples collected from reference children living in an urban area. The study was conducted in Hood River, The Dales, and Cornelius, all in Oregon, and the urban children lived in Portland. Each study area is described briefly. The median concentrations of urinary dimethylthiophosphate and the combined methyl dialkyl phosphate by weight-volume concentrations units were significantly higher in the agricultural communities than in the reference urban community, and the median concentrations of the metabolites were significantly higher in children from the pear-growing community relative to those from the cherry- and strawberry-growing communities. The differences in the median level of dimethylthiophosphate in children of the agricultural communities remained significant after controlling for age, sex, and weight.

T1 - Effect of Environmental Tobacco Smoke on Levels of Urinary Hormone Markers
AN - 14726986; 10680147
AB - The effect of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on the levels of urinary pregnanediol-3-glucuronide (PdG) and estrone conjugates was studied in a cohort of women participating in a reproductive health study in Anhui, China. None of the women smoked, but their exposure to ETS was very high. Daily records of vaginal bleeding, active and passive cigarette smoking, and daily first-morning urine specimens were collected for up to 1 yr. Of the 673 menstrual cycles included in the study, 344 and 329 were nonconception and conception cycles, respectively, and 76 and 597 cycles did not have and had ETS exposure, respectively. Among nonconception cycles, ETS-exposed women had a consistently lower daily urinary estrone conjugates level compared with nonexposed women. Among conception cycles, the association was not significant, and there was no significant difference in PdG levels between nonexposed and exposed women regardless of conception status.

T1 - Approaches to reducing mercury in North America.
AN - 67889450; 15931955
AB - This article provides a summary of the Environmental Protection Agency's role in reducing anthropogenic sources of mercury. These efforts are expected to substantially reduce both mercury releases and exposure. EPA is aware that mercury in the environment is complex and that it must work with programs in other federal agencies, state and local governments that address the mercury problem as well as partner with nongovernmental organizations and industry to reach these goals.

T1 - Low osmolar oral rehydration salts solution in the treatment of acute watery diarrhoea in neonates and young infants: a randomized, controlled clinical trial.
AN - 67816077; 15884752
AB - To compare the efficacy and safety of low osmolar oral rehydration salts solution (ORS-75) (mmol/L: Na+ 75, osmolarity 245) with that of World Health Organization-recommended ORS (ORS-90) (mmol/L: Na+ 90, osmolarity 311 ) in the treatment of acute watery diarrhoea in neonates and very young infants, a randomized double-blind, controlled clinical trial was carried out at the Clinical Research and Service Centre of ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during January 1998-December 1999. Infants, aged < or = 2 months, presenting with a history of watery diarrhoea of < or = 72 hours, with no or some dehydration and without any systemic illness, were randomly assigned to receive either ORS-75 or ORS-90 for the correction and subsequent prevention of dehydration. Infants were studied for a maximum of five days. Total stool output, stool frequency, and requirement for ORS were outcome measures. Serum electrolytes were measured at 24 hours after admission to monitor serum sodium imbalance. Seventy-three infants received ORS-75, and 71 received ORS-90. Both the groups were comparable in their baseline characteristics. Diarrhoea resolved within five days in 53% and 66% of infants receiving ORS-75 and ORS-90 respectively (p = 0.3). Total stool volume [median (inter-quartile range) 132 (65-280) vs 139 (70-259) g/kg, p = 0.9], during the study period, was not significantly different between the two groups. Total stool frequency [31 (16-51) vs 35 (16-53), p = 0.9] and total ORS intake [192 (96-374) vs 209 (134-317) mL/kg, p = 0.7] were similar between the groups. No infants developed late evidence of hypernatraemia, irrespective of treatment. The results of the study indicate that ORS-75 is as safe as standard ORS-90 in the treatment of acute watery diarrhoea in neonates and very young infants and is effective in correcting and preventing dehydration.

T1 - Hand arm vibration syndrome among quarry workers in Vietnam.
AN - 67727286; 15824482
AB - Few studies have focused on the health effects of vibrating tools on workers in the tropical area. Work conditions and health effects related to rock drill operation were studied in 102 quarry workers, including 73 rock drill operators in Vietnam. We aimed to clarify (1) risk of vibration exposure, (2) occurrence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF), and (3) characteristics of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Total weighted r.m.s. acceleration of the Chinese -or Russian-made rock drills, was 45-55 m/s(2). According to work observation studies, daily exposure time to vibration was 160-210 min. ISO5349 predicted that this exposure level would be associated with a high risk of HAVS in workers. We found no clear evidence of VWF. There may be several reasons why no worker exhibited VWF: (1) warmer work conditions, (2) younger and less experienced workers, (3) seasonal changes in work operations, and (4) healthy worker effect. On the other hand, 5-10% of rock drill operators might be suffering from moderate HAVS which was sensori-neural type dominant. There may be some characteristic features of HAVS among quarry workers in the tropical area.

T1 - Development and implementation of an emergency practitioner-performed brief intervention for hazardous and harmful drinkers in the emergency department.
AN - 67474810; 15741590
AB - 1) To develop and teach a brief intervention (BI) for "hazardous and harmful" (HH) drinkers in the emergency department (ED); 2) to determine whether emergency practitioners (EPs) (faculty, residents, and physician associates) can demonstrate proficiency in the intervention; and 3) to determine whether it is feasible for EPs to perform the BI during routine clinical care.
The Brief Negotiation Interview (BNI) was developed for a population of HH drinkers. EPs working in an urban, teaching hospital were trained during two-hour skills-based sessions. They were then tested for adherence to and competence with the BNI protocol using standardized patient scenarios and a checklist of critical components of the BNI. Finally, the EPs performed the BNI as part of routine ED clinical care in the context of a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of BI on patient outcomes. The BNI was developed, modified, and finalized in a manual, based on pilot testing. Eleven training sessions with 58 EPs were conducted from March 2002 to August 2003. Ninety-one percent (53/58) of the trained EPs passed the proficiency examination; 96% passed after remediation. Two EPs left prior to remediation. Subsequently, 247 BNIs were performed by 47 EPs. The mean (+/- standard deviation) number of BNIs per EP was 5.28 (+/- 4.91; range 0-28). The mean duration of the BNI was 7.75 minutes (+/- 3.18; range 4-24).
A BNI for HH drinkers can be successfully developed for EPs. EPs can demonstrate proficiency in performing the BNI in routine ED clinical practice.

T1 - Lymphocyte responses in patients with total hip arthroplasty.
AN - 67468231; 15734252
AB - How lymphocyte-mediated metal sensitivity affects orthopaedic implant performance remains poorly understood. Do patients with implants exhibit elevated lymphocyte reactivity to metals and is this reactivity more generalized or more implant-alloy specific? We investigated these questions by measuring lymphocyte responses to implant metals (Cr(+3), Co(+2), Ni(+2) at 0.1mM, and Ti(+4) at 0.001 mM) in six subject groups: Group 1a=young controls, Group 1b=age matched controls, Group 2a=subjects with osteoarthritis (OA) and no history of metal sensitivity, Group 2b=OA subjects with history of metal sensitivity, Group 3a=total hip arthroplasty (THA) subjects with no to mild radiographic osteolysis, and Group 3b=THA subjects with moderate osteolysis. Lymphocyte proliferation, using Lymphocyte Transformation Testing (LTT), and cytokine release provided quantitative reactivity measurement, where a stimulation index of >2 indicated metal sensitivity. OA subjects with a history of metal sensitivity (Group 2b) were more metal reactive to Ni than any other group, as expected (66% incidence and Stimulation Index >20). However, THA subjects (Groups 3a and b) were >3 fold more reactive to Cr (ptwo-fold (p<0.05) increases in soluble interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels in response to Cr challenge. This elevated incidence and averaged level of lymphocyte reactivity supports a metal-specific adaptive immune response and suggests involvement in the pathogenesis of poor implant performance, e.g. aseptic osteolysis.

T1 - Gender differences in spatial knowledge acquired through simulated exploration of a virtual shopping centre
AN - 57281666; 200917201
AB - Past research has demonstrated that when spatial knowledge is acquired through real-world navigation, males typically outperform females on subsequent tests of spatial ability. However, less-consistent gender differences have been obtained in studies examining navigation through computer-simulated spaces. In the present study, male and female participants explored two large-scale virtual shopping centres. Navigation was supported by either a hand-held paper map or by a digital map that was displayed on a computer screen. Spatial knowledge was then tested in a battery of tasks including wayfinding, directional and distance estimates, and a map placement task. In the majority of comparisons made, there were significant differences favouring males. The findings indicate that like real-world learning, virtual exploration leads to significant gender differences in spatial performance. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

T1 - How China is adopting market mechanisms to foster soil and water conservation
AN - 21502428; 12463380
AB - Soil erosion is a major environmental concern in China; it not only causes significant environmental damage, but also undermines the national economy. In the last half century, a series of soil conservation policies have been employed to combat soil erosion. In recent years, soil conservation laws and regulations have been introduced to deal with soil erosion generated by massive and rapid urbanization in China. Because of a history of state ownership of land, it is easier in China than in market economies to require farmers to control soil erosion, particularly as they are being given property rights at the same time.

T1 - Lakes in crisis.
AN - 21428455; 12455013
AB - As Scott Fields points out in his Focus article (Fields 2005), the Great Lakes are one of the most important water resources on Earth. Together the five lakes contain around 20% of the surface freshwater on the planet. The Great Lakes basin is home to close to 40 million people in the United States and Canada, and it is no accident that some of the largest and most heavily industrialized cities in North America are located there. During the industrial expansion the lakes provided a ready transportation system for delivering raw materials to factories and products to markets. They also provided a seemingly endless supply of water for industrial processes and acted as a convenient sewer for industrial waste. Ironically the same lakes that have been so heavily used and abused by industry support the largest freshwater fishery in the world, and both commercial and sport fishing are critical to the economy of the region.

T1 - Comparison of Biostimulation versus Bioaugmentation with Bacterial Strain PM1 for Treatment of Groundwater Contaminated with Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
AN - 21428386; 12452961
AB - Widespread contamination of groundwater by methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) has triggered the exploration of different technologies for in situ removal of the pollutant, including biostimulation of naturally occurring microbial communities or bioaugmentation with specific microbial strains known to biodegrade the oxygenate. After laboratory studies revealed that bacterial strain PM1 rapidly and completely biodegraded MTBE in groundwater sediments, the organism was tested in an in situ field study at Port Hueneme Naval Construction Battalion Center in Oxnard, California. Two pilot test plots (A and B) in groundwater located down-gradient from an MTBE source were intermittently sparged with pure oxygen. Plot B was also inoculated with strain PM1. MTBE concentrations up-gradient from plots A and B initially varied temporally from 1.5 to 6 mg MTBE/L. Six months after treatment began, MTBE concentrations in monitoring wells down-gradient from the injection bed decreased substantially in the shallow zone of the groundwater in plots A and B, thus even in the absence of the inoculated strain PM1. In the deeper zone, downstream MTBE concentrations also decreased in plot A and to a lesser extent in plot B. Difficulties in delivery of oxygen to the deeper zone of plot B, evidenced by low dissolved oxygen concentrations, were likely responsible for low rates of MTBE removal at that location. We measured the survival and movement of strain PM1 in groundwater samples using two methods for detection of DNA sequences specific to strain PM1: TaqMan quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and internal transcribed spacer region analysis. A naturally occurring bacterial strain with 99% 16S rDNA sequence similarity to strain PM1 was detected in groundwater collected at various locations at Port Hueneme, including outside the plots where the organism was inoculated. Addition of oxygen to naturally occurring microbial populations was sufficient to stimulate MTBE removal at this site. In some cases, however, inoculation with an MTBE-degrading culture may be warranted.

T1 - Acceleration of Autoimmunity by Organochlorine Pesticides in (NZB NZW)F sub 1 Mice
AN - 21428355; 12452948
AB - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that affects women more frequently than men. In the (NZB times NZW)F1 mouse, a murine SLE model, the presence or absence of estrogen markedly influences the rate of progression of disease. Three organochlorine pesticides with estrogenic effects were administered chronically to ovariectomized female (NZB times NZW)F1 mice, and we measured the time to development of renal disease, the principal clinical manifestation of lupus in this model. Treatment with chlordecone, methoxychlor, or o,p -dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (o,p -DDT) significantly decreased the time to onset of renal impairment, as did treatment with 17ss-estradiol used as a positive control. In an expanded study of chlordecone, we found a dose-related early appearance of elevated anti-double-strand DNA autoantibody titers that corresponded with subsequent development of glomerulonephritis. Immunohistofluorescence confirmed early deposition of immune complexes in kidneys of mice treated with chlordecone. These observations are consistent with an effect of these organochlorine pesticides to accelerate the natural course of SLE in the (NZB times NZW)F1 mouse. Although we originally hypothesized that the effect on progression of autoimmunity was due to estrogenic properties of the pesticides, autoimmune effects and estrogenicity, assessed through measurement of uterine hypertrophy, were not well correlated. This may indicate that uterine hypertrophy is a poor indicator of comparative estrogenic effects of organochlorine pesticides on the immune system, or that the pesticides are influencing autoimmunity through a mode of action unrelated to their estrogenicity.

T1 - Correspondence: Pesticide Spraying and Health Effects and author response.
AN - 21421222; 12455012
AB - I noticed with interest the article "Pesticide Spraying for West Nile Virus Control and Emergency Department Asthma Visits in New York City, 2000" by Karpati et al. (2004). I am a physician who treats hundreds of patients with chronic illness from chemical overexposure. Many of these patients have toxic encephalopathy, reactive airway disease, and other chemically induced organ system damage. When my patients become ill from pesticide spraying, they usually do not head for an emergency room, where they typically experience long waits in an environment containing germicidal residue, scented products, carbonless copy paper, hospital linens with heavy fabric softener, and other exposures. In addition, they have learned from experience that emergency department personnel often do not understand their condition and do not know how to treat it. Thus your survey, while with admirable intent, greatly underestimates the problem of respiratory exacerbation from West Nile virus pesticide use. Many of my patients have experienced severe neurologic and respiratory exacerbations as well as other organ system damage, such as significant increase in liver enzymes, from exposure to residue from pesticide spraying for West Nile virus. In addition, it is my understanding that these pesticides are not effective for controlling adult mosquitoes and that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other authorities recommend larvae control. The extent of exacerbation of illness caused by pesticide use for West Nile virus control is likely greater than the number of cases of West Nile virus.

T1 - Urban Sprawl and Public Health: Designing, Planning, and Building for Healthy Communities
AN - 21420532; 12452943
AB - Urban Sprawl and Public Health, a timely publication by highly qualified authors, is another wake-up call about public policy decisions with respect to land use, transportation, and community design that adversely affect our health, civic involvement, and quality of life. Its thesis is that the designs of buildings and communities inhibit physical activity and social interactions and promote sedentary lifestyles and environmental pollution or degradation. The authors provide solution-oriented information to professionals, public officials, business and community leaders, and others who are concerned about protecting the environment and human health. They describe sprawl as the way land is used, the way people travel, and the way cities expand over large geographic areas. Such expansion increases distance between places of interest, makes walking and biking impractical, and increases reliance on automobiles for transportation. Although sprawl appears chaotic, the authors point out that it is well orchestrated and supported by public policy through cheap land, favorable tax codes, zoning regulations, lending practices, and the revolution in transportation. The latter made it possible for large numbers of people to live longer distances from work and commercial centers. But now that the forces that spun sprawl (e.g., concerns about sanitation, infectious diseases, noise, crime, industrial pollution, and exposed sewage) no longer represent a nuisance or a threat to safety, it is time to rethink public policies designed to encourage or support migration from urban centers.

T1 - Association of Ambient Air Pollution with Respiratory Hospitalization in a Government-Designated "Area of Concern": The Case of Windsor, Ontario
AN - 21420393; 12452963
AB - This study is part of a larger research program to examine the relationship between ambient air quality and health in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. We assessed the association between air pollution and daily respiratory hospitalization for different age and sex groups from 1995 to 2000. The pollutants included were nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter 10 microm in diameter (PM10), coefficient of haze (COH), and total reduced sulfur (TRS). We calculated relative risk (RR) estimates using both time-series and case-crossover methods after controlling for appropriate confounders (temperature, humidity, and change in barometric pressure). The results of both analyses were consistent. We found associations between NO2, SO2, CO, COH, or PM10 and daily hospital admission of respiratory diseases especially among females. For females 0-14 years of age, there was 1-day delayed effect of NO2 (RR = 1.19, case-crossover method), a current-day SO2 (RR = 1.11, time series), and current-day and 1- and 2-day delayed effects for CO by case crossover (RR = 1.15, 1.19, 1.22, respectively). Time-series analysis showed that 1-day delayed effect of PM10 on respiratory admissions of adult males (15-64 years of age), with an RR of 1.18. COH had significant effects on female respiratory hospitalization, especially for 2-day delayed effects on adult females, with RRs of 1.15 and 1.29 using time-series and case-crossover analysis, respectively. There were no significant associations between O3 and TRS with respiratory admissions. These findings provide policy makers with current risks estimates of respiratory hospitalization as a result of poor ambient air quality in a government designated "area of concern."

T1 - Correspondence: "Epidemiology of Health Effects of Radiofrequency Exposure" and response.
AN - 21420374; 12455011
AB - This review of epidemiologic evidence addressed the issue of causation without any consideration of the concept of causation in epidemiology, and it failed in its essential task to assess the possible association between exposure to RF and health. Concerning cancer, Moolgavkar and Luebeck (2003) have shown that agents that increase the growth rate of preneoplastic cells may have a distinctly greater impact on cancer incidence than agents that induce malignant transformation. However, this holds only for agents that act for prolonged periods of time. Regarding the natural history of cancer, a noticeable effect at the population level will only occur many years (and possibly decades) after first contact with the promoting agent. Although Ahlbom et al. (2004) pointed to the insufficient latencies in epidemiologic studies, they did not draw the straightforward conclusion--to assess the relationship between the latencies covered in the studies and their outcome.

T1 - An Ounce of Prevention from a Ton of Tomatoes
AN - 21420364; 12452959
AB - The chemicals in tomato extract--including lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color--have been the subject of numerous studies suggesting they may help lower the risk of several diseases. Researchers in Florida are refining a method that offers a cleaner way to get more extract from more tomatoes. Their hope is that the method will benefit small farmers by providing another outlet for tomatoes not sold as produce. Typically farmers lose a large percentage of their crop each year to market glut, and some 20% of tomatoes bound for the produce stand are discarded for cuts, bruises, or odd shapes.

T1 - Urinary Trivalent Methylated Arsenic Species in a Population Chronically Exposed to Inorganic Arsenic
AN - 21414425; 12452965
AB - Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) has been associated with increased risk of various forms of cancer and of noncancerous diseases. Metabolic conversions of iAs that yield highly toxic and genotoxic methylarsonite (MAsIII) and dimethylarsinite (DMAsIII) may play a significant role in determining the extent and character of toxic and cancer-promoting effects of iAs exposure. In this study we examined the relationship between urinary profiles of MAsIII and DMAsIII and skin lesion markers of iAs toxicity in individuals exposed to iAs in drinking water. The study subjects were recruited among the residents of an endemic region of central Mexico. Drinking-water reservoirs in this region are heavily contaminated with iAs. Previous studies carried out in the local populations have found an increased incidence of pathologies, primarily skin lesions, that are characteristic of arseniasis. The goal of this study was to investigate the urinary profiles for the trivalent and pentavalent As metabolites in both high- and low-iAs-exposed subjects. Notably, methylated trivalent arsenicals were detected in 98% of analyzed urine samples. On average, the major metabolite, DMAsIII, represented 49% of total urinary As, followed by DMAsV (23.7%), iAsV (8.6%), iAsIII (8.5%), MAsIII (7.4%), and MAsV (2.8%). More important, the average MAsIII concentration was significantly higher in the urine of exposed individuals with skin lesions compared with those who drank iAs-contaminated water but had no skin lesions. These data suggest that urinary levels of MAsIII, the most toxic species among identified metabolites of iAs, may serve as an indicator to identify individuals with increased susceptibility to toxic and cancer-promoting effects of arseniasis.

T1 - Correspondence: listing occupational carcinogens.
AN - 21403701; 12455008
AB - The review by Siemiatycki et al. (2004) is extremely valuable, and I am sure I will refer to it often in the future. However, I would like clarification on the risk classification of some chemicals. In the text the authors state that some chemicals, such as glass wool, were downgraded in risk between 1987and 2002, from "possible human carcinogen" (group 2B) classification, to unclassifiable (group 3). This contradicts Table 5 (Siemiatycki et al. 2004), where the chemicals are listed as "possible human carcinogens" and the authors cited the 2002 volumes of the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) Monographs; this gives the impression that this is the most up-to-date classification.

T1 - GREAT LAKES: RESOURCES AT RISK
AN - 21396892; 12452958
AB - According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Great Lakes contain 21% of the Earth's and about 84% of the United States' surface freshwater. The Great Lakes provide water for both drinking and recreation, and are a heavily traveled waterway for transporting farmed, mined, and manufactured materials. Over the years the lakes have become heavily polluted by the industries that ring the lakes, and they continue to see new introductions of invasive exotic species--such as the sea lamprey and the zebra mussel--that decimate native species. A number of programs are under way to address problems in the Great Lakes, and some progress has been made toward mitigating pollution in the lakes. But many other environmental stressors are proving more difficult to change.

AB - The Great Lakes are the world's largest freshwater system and they have equally large problems to match. A wide variety of public and private organizations on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border are working to clean up the heavily polluted region, yet it was only this past year that President Bush formed a cabinet-level task force to steer efforts to reduce the area's problems. The task force is now working on prioritizing the list of problems that the region faces. But some stakeholders are concerned that this prioritizing is in fact an attempt to do less rather than more toward restoring the Great Lakes.

T1 - Correspondence: david rall and the national toxicology program.
AN - 21369132; 12455009
AB - Concerning the 25 year history and milestones of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), McGovern (2004) failed to acknowledge the huge conceptual and leadership contributions provided by David P. Rall (1926-1999) in the creation, development, and continuing achievements of the NTP (Huff 2000). Of course, Rall was the individual most responsible for conceiving, nurturing, and establishing the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) as a world-recognized leader in environmental health sciences. The NTP, a natural and independent partner of the NIEHS, was the innovative idea of Rall, who with a few other like-minded collegial giants in the fields of public and occupational health, recognized the need to better coordinate the disparate and often redundant toxicology and health hazard identification activities in the Department of Health and Human Services.

T1 - Summary of a Workshop on the Development of Health Models and Scenarios: Strategies for the Future
AN - 21368946; 12452960
AB - A workshop was convened in July 2003 by the Global Change Research Program, Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to review current strategies for developing human health models and scenarios in the context of global environmental change, particularly global climate change, and to outline a research agenda that effectively characterizes the interplay of global change with the health of human populations. The research agenda developed at the workshop focused on three issues: a) the development of health models, b) the development of health scenarios, and c) the use of health models and health scenarios to inform policy. The agenda identified research gaps as well as barriers to the development and use of models and scenarios. This report summarizes the workshop findings.

T1 - Home Dampness and Molds, Parental Atopy, and Asthma in Childhood: A Six-Year Population-Based Cohort Study
AN - 21368921; 12452956
AB - Previous studies of how parental atopy and exposure to dampness and molds contribute to the risk of asthma have been mainly cross-sectional or prevalent case-control studies, where selection and information bias and temporality constitute problems. We assessed longitudinally the independent and joint effects of parental atopy and exposure to molds in dwellings on the development of asthma in childhood. We conducted a population-based, 6-year prospective cohort study of 1,984 children 1-7 years of age at the baseline in 1991 (follow-up rate, 77%). The study population included 1,916 children without asthma at baseline and complete outcome information. The data collection included a baseline and follow-up survey. The outcome of interest was development of asthma during the study period. The studied determinants were parental allergic diseases and four indicators of exposure at baseline: histories of water damage, presence of moisture and visible molds, and perceived mold odor in the home. A total of 138 (7.2%) children developed asthma during the study period, resulting in an incidence rate of 125 cases per 10,000 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI), 104-146]. In Poisson regression adjusting for confounding, parental atopy [adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.52; 95% CI, 1.08-2.13] and the presence of mold odor in the home reported at baseline (adjusted IRR 2.44; 95% CI, 1.07-5.60) were independent determinants of asthma incidence, but no apparent interaction was observed. The results of this cohort study with assessment of exposure before the onset of asthma strengthen the evidence on the independent effects of parental atopy and exposure to molds on the development of asthma.

T1 - Linking male and female morphology to reproductive success in captive southern calamary (Sepioteuthis australis)
AN - 20927122; 6585356
AB - Sexual selection theory predicts that mating success influences the evolution of traits. Previous behavioural observations of male Sepioteuthis australis have revealed two main mating strategies in the field: (1) large dominant males pair and mate with females, which they defend from (2) smaller males attempting to mate using `sneaker' tactics. The current study examined whether fertilisation of squid eggs laid by polyandrous females within a mesocosm reflected this field-observed size-based mating system. Polymorphic microsatellite loci were used to identify mothers and fathers of embryos, which in turn allowed us to determine the effect of body size, age, and nine other morphological traits on reproductive success. Parentage of 112 embryos was assigned among 14 possible females and 20 candidate males of varying sizes. The mating behaviour observed in captivity was consistent with the size-based strategies seen in the field yet large males did not sire proportionally more offspring; instead nearly all males, regardless of size, sired some offspring. Regression analyses indicated that females did not select sperm based on male size, shape or age. Surprisingly, female contributions were skewed, with younger females contributing more eggs than older females. The possibility of male mate-choice was explored.

T1 - Characterisation of the Dunaliella tertiolecta RbcS genes and their promoter activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
AN - 19941514; 6484634
AB - The availability of highly active homologous promoters and terminators is critical in the development of a transformation system for the unicellular microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta. To facilitate transformation of this species, we isolated and characterised two native ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit genes (RbcS) including flanking sequences. The two non-allelic cDNA sequences share approximately 80% identity and have approximately 60% identity to the RbcS genes of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The D. tertiolecta RbcS promoter and 3' untranslated regions were shown to drive expression of the bleomycin resistance gene (ble) in C. reinhardtii. This is the first demonstration of a heterologous algal promoter being used to drive transgene expression in C. reinhardtii. In addition, promoter deletions were shown to further increase transformation efficiency.

T1 - Pb isotope record over one century in snow from Victoria Land, Antarctica
AN - 19925969; 6212515
AB - Pb and Ba concentrations and Pb isotopic compositions are reported for firn core and snow pit samples from Victoria Land, Antarctica, dating from 1872 AD to 1994 AD. From variations in Pb/Ba ratios and Pb isotopic compositions, two periods of major Pb enhancements were identified, from 1891 to 1908 AD and from 1948 to 1994 AD. The earlier pollution event is attributed to Pb emissions from non-ferrous metal production and coal combustion in the Southern Hemisphere and is in excellent agreement with coincident pollution inputs reported in firn/ice cores from two other regions of Antarctica, at Coats Land and Law Dome. Using Pb isotopic systematics, it was calculated that [not, vert, similar]50% of Pb deposited in Victoria Land in 1897 originated from anthropogenic emission sources. The more recent period of Pb enhancements, from 1948 to 1994 AD, corresponds to the introduction and widespread use of gasoline alkyl Pb additives in automobiles in the Southern Hemisphere, with anthropogenic Pb inputs averaging 60% of total Pb but with large uncertainty. Intra- and inter- annual variations in Pb concentrations and isotopic compositions were evaluated in snow pits samples corresponding to the period 1991-1994. Substantial variations in Pb/Ba and super(206)Pb/ super(207)Pb ratios were detected but the absence of a regular seasonal pattern for these parameters suggests that the transport and deposition of aerosols to the Antarctic ice sheet are complex and vary from year to year.

T1 - Phylogeographic evidence for the existence of an ancient biogeographic barrier: the Isthmus of Kra Seaway
AN - 17832098; 6196364
AB - Biogeographic boundaries are characterised by distinct faunal and floral assemblages restricted on either side, but patterns among groups of taxa often vary and may not be discrete. Historical biogeography as a consequence, while providing crucial insights into the relationship between biological diversity and earth history, has some limitations. Patterns of intraspecific molecular variation, however, may show unambiguous evidence for such historical divides, and can be used to test competing biogeographic hypotheses (often based on the dispersal-vicariance debate). Here, we utilise this method to test the hypothesis that a major biogeographic transition zone between the Sundaic and Indochinese biotas, located just north of the Isthmus of Kra in SE Asia, is the result of Neogene marine transgressions that breached the Isthmus in two locations for prolonged periods of time (> 1 million year duration). Phylogeographic analyses of a freshwater decapod crustacean, the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, strongly supports the historical existence of the more northerly postulated seaway. Results presented here highlight the power of utilising intraspecific molecular variation in testing biogeographical hypotheses.

T1 - Characterisation of the recreational fishery for southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii, in Tasmania, Australia: implications for management
AN - 17651713; 6473718
AB - Southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) support significant commercial and recreational fisheries in Tasmania, Australia. Since the mid 1990s the number of persons holding recreational lobster licences increased by over 80%, with c. 15 500 persons licensed in 2002/03. Assessment of the recreational fishery has been undertaken periodically since 1996 using a telephone-diary survey method. The fishery was concentrated off the south-east and east coasts of Tasmania and characterised by strong seasonality in catch and effort, which peaked markedly early in the fishing year (November-January). Although pots were the most popular fishing method, daily catch rates by divers were more than double those for pots. Divers selectively harvested larger lobsters than those taken by pots and more frequently attained the daily bag limit of 5 lobsters. The estimated recreational harvest increased significantly since 1996/97 and in 2002/03 effectively reached a management trigger level of 10% of the total allowable commercial catch, flagging a review of recreational management arrangements.

T1 - Vertical distribution and diurnal migration patterns of Jasus edwardsii phyllosomas off the east coast of the North Island, New Zealand
AN - 17651637; 6473710
AB - The rock lobster Jasus edwardsii forms the basis of important fisheries in south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. Their long pelagic larval phyllosoma phase (12-24 months) raises many questions as to how the larvae are retained and/or recruited into local populations. Recent attempts to model the dispersal of J. edwardsii phyllosoma have had mixed success at reconstructing settlement patterns. However, these models have either ignored vertical distribution or have used that of the western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus. We report on the vertical distribution and migration of J. edwardsii phyllosomas, collected in March/April 2003 from the Wairarapa Eddy off the east coast of the North Island, New Zealand, and provide a model to describe their vertical distribution. J. edwardsii phyllosoma were primarily recorded within the upper 100 m over similar depth ranges to those reported for other palinurid and scyllarid species. Well-defined changes in diel vertical distribution were restricted to late-stage larvae. Mid-stage phyllosomas were concentrated in the upper 20 m both day and night. Late-stage phyllosomas were concentrated in the upper 20 m during the night, but they were absent from the upper 20 m during the day and distributed primarily between 20 and 100 m. Future modelling will benefit from using larval distribution and behaviour patterns specific to J. edwardsii.

T1 - Persistence of sea urchin (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) barrens on the east coast of Tasmania: inhibition of macroalgal recovery in the absence of high densities of sea urchins
AN - 17620394; 6263354
AB - Sea urchin barrens occur commonly in temperate regions throughout the world and have significant implications for ecological processes on subtidal rocky reefs because they constitute areas of low productivity and diversity compared with habitats dominated by macroalgae. On the east coast of Tasmania, the occurrence of sea urchin (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) barrens in sheltered bays has additional implications in that they represent an important habitat of the introduced kelp Undaria pinnatifida. Identifying the factors responsible for ongoing maintenance of the barren habitat is essential in defining management options to promote recovery of native canopy-forming species. We used transplant experiments to investigate whether inhibition of recovery of native canopy-forming algae can occur in the absence of intense sea urchin grazing. High densities of native canopy-forming species successfully colonised paving blocks deployed in a dense algal bed adjacent to a sea urchin barren. Transplanting these paving blocks to plots on the barren from which sea urchins were removed resulted in >80% mortality of recruits after three months, and 100% mortality after seven months. The decline in macroalgal recruits on paving blocks transplanted to the urchin barren was associated with an increase in the cover and depth of sediment. A persistent cover of sediment also developed on paving blocks deployed on the urchin barren, where no native canopy-forming algal recruits were observed. While sea urchins are undoubtedly important in creating urchin barrens, our results suggest that other mechanisms can influence recovery of native canopy species. In sheltered and semi-exposed bays on the east coast of Tasmania, sedimentation appears to play a critical role in inhibiting early developmental stages of native macroalgae, thereby contributing to a positive feedback that acts to maintain the barren habitat.

T1 - Free fatty acids and sterols in the benthic spawn of aquatic molluscs, and their associated antimicrobial properties
AN - 17610346; 6161079
AB - The free lipid content of extracts from the spawn of 17 molluscs were analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. These extracts encompass the encapsulated embryos and extraembryonic structures from benthic gelatinous egg masses and leathery egg capsules covering five taxonomic groups. Palmitic and stearic acids were the dominant saturated fatty acids and oleic acid was the principal unsaturated acid found in the spawn. Cholesterol was the dominant sterol and the only sterol found in the spawn from every species. Extracts from gelatinous egg masses were found to contain proportionally more fatty acids compared to leathery egg capsules. No unsaturated fatty acids were found in any of the leathery egg capsules, including five neogastropods and one littorinimorph. Unsaturated fatty acids were present in all of the gelatinous egg masses, including two other littorinimorphs. This is the first study to demonstrate that unsaturated fatty acids possess significant bacteriolytic activity against four aquatic pathogens. Encapsulated Anaspidea egg masses contain relatively high concentrations of these unsaturated fatty acids and a lipid mixture modeled on these extracts was strongly bacteriolytic at concentrations down to 0.0001 mg/ml. By comparison, lipid mixtures modeled on extracts from the spawn of four other molluscan taxa with higher proportions of saturated fatty acid and cholesterol, were only partially active against some of the bacteria at 0.1 mg/ml. Thus, unsaturated fatty acids could explain the antimicrobial activity previously reported in lipid extracts of some, but not most, molluscan spawn. MDS ordination and ANOSIM revealed significant taxonomic differences in the composition of free lipids from molluscan spawn, suggesting that lipid analyses may be useful in future systematic studies of the Mollusca.

T1 - Toward an optimal sampling protocol for Hemiptera on understorey plants
AN - 17547053; 6430668
AB - There are no standardised sampling protocols for inventorying Hemiptera from understorey or canopy plants. This paper proposes an optimal protocol for the understorey, after evaluating the efficiency of seven methods to maximise the richness of Hemiptera collected from plants with minimal field and laboratory time. The methods evaluated were beating, chemical knockdown, sweeping, branch clipping, hand collecting, vacuum sampling and sticky trapping. These techniques were tested at two spatial scales: 1 ha sites and individual plants. In addition, because efficiency may differ with vegetation structure, sampling of sites was conducted in three disparate understorey habitats, and sampling of individual plants was conducted across 33 plant species. No single method sampled the majority of hemipteran species in the understorey. Chemical knockdown, vacuum sampling and beating yielded speciose samples (61, 61 and 30 species, respectively, representing 53, 53 and 26% of total species collected). The four remaining methods provided species-poor samples (7 species for each technique). By comparison, vacuum sampling, sticky trapping, branch clipping and chemical knockdown yielded <5 species for the same period. Chemical knockdown had further disadvantages; high financial cost and potential spray drift. The most effective methods for a standardised sampling protocol to inventory Hemiptera from the understorey are beating and vacuum sampling. If used in combination, these methods optimise the catch of understorey hemipteran species, as their samples have high complementarity.

T1 - Effects of predation and habitat structure on the population dynamics of house mice in large outdoor enclosures
AN - 17539781; 6406974
AB - This paper examines the effect of different levels of protection from predation on feral house mice. Mice were contained in eight 50x50 m outdoor enclosures. Enclosures allowed access to a suite of freeliving vertebrate predators from the surrounding area, including feral foxes, feral cats and Australian raptors. A 10-15% cover of small, felled cypress pine trees was added in strips to low grassland to increase habitat complexity. Mice were not protected from predation when compared with low grassland pens, possibly because predators were able to focus their hunting activity in the strips. However, when felled trees were covered with wire netting, hence providing higher quality refuge, mouse populations achieved higher densities than in low grassland pens. A predator exclusion treatment was used to confirm the refuge effect was due to a reduction in the impact of predation. Survival rates under the different treatments were generally consistent with population level responses, with mice having lower survival in low grassland pens than in high refuge pens. This is the first study with mammals that confirms the importance of refuges from predators for prey populations.

T1 - Isolation and characterization of a Ds-tagged rice (Oryza sativa L.) GA-responsive dwarf mutant defective in an early step of the gibberellin biosynthesis pathway
AN - 17393936; 6484647
AB - We have isolated a severe dwarf transposon (Ds) insertion mutant in rice (Oryza sativa L.), which could be differentiated early in the seedling stage by reduced shoot growth and dark green leaves, and later by severe dwarfism and failure to initiate flowering. These mutants, however, showed normal seed germination and root growth. One of the sequences flanking Ds, rescued from the mutant, was of a chromosome 4-located putative ent-kaurene synthase (KS) gene, encoding the enzyme catalyzing the second step of the gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis pathway. Dwarf mutants were always homozygous for this Ds insertion and no normal plants homozygous for this mutation were recovered in the segregating progeny, indicating that the Ds insertion mutation is recessive. As mutations in three recently reported rice GA-responsive dwarf mutant alleles and the dwarf mutation identified in this study mapped to the same locus, we designate the corresponding gene OsKS1. The osks1 mutant seedlings were responsive to exogenous gibberellin (GA sub(3)). OsKS1 transcripts of about 2.3 kb were detected in leaves and stem of wild-type plants, but not in germinating seeds or roots, suggesting that OsKS1 is not involved in germination or root growth. There are at least five OsKS1-like genes in the rice genome, four of which are also represented in rice expressed sequence tag (EST) databases. All OsKS1-like genes are transcribed with different expression patterns. ESTs corresponding to all six OsKS genes are represented in other cereal databases including barley, wheat and maize, suggesting that they are biologically active.

T1 - The interactive effects of elevated CO sub(2), temperature and initial size on growth and competition between a native C sub(3) and an invasive C sub(3) grass
AN - 17101720; 6734199
AB - A controlled environment experiment was conducted to determine the impact of enhanced carbon dioxide and temperature on competition between the C sub(3) grasses Austrodanthonia eriantha and Vulpia myuros. Plants were grown in mixtures and monocultures to compare the responses both with and without an interspecific competitor. Temperature and CO sub(2) were set at current levels (350 ppm CO sub(2); 20 degree C day and 10 degree C night temperature), in factorial combination with enhanced levels (700 ppm CO sub(2); 23 degree C day and 13 degree C night temperature). To examine the potential impact of initial seedling size on competition under elevated CO sub(2) and temperature, the two species were combined in mixtures of differing initial sizes. Above-ground growth of all plants was enhanced by increased CO sub(2) and temperature alone, however the combined temperature and CO sub(2) treatment showed a sub-additive effect, where growth was less than expected based on the responses to each factor independently. Austrodanthonia in mixture with Vulpia plants of the same initial size experienced a 27 reduction in growth. Austrodanthonia grown in the presence of an initially larger Vulpia plant experienced a 58 reduction in growth. When the Vulpia plant was initially smaller than Austrodanthonia, growth of the Austrodanthonia was reduced by 16%. The growth of Vulpia appeared to be largely unaffected by the presence of Austrodanthonia. Variation in the CO sub(2) and temperature environment did not affect the pattern of these interspecific interactions, although there was some evidence to suggest that the degree of suppression of Austrodanthonia by Vulpia was less under elevated CO sub(2). These results do not support the initial advantage hypothesis, as Vulpia was always able to suppress Austrodanthonia, regardless of the initial relative sizes of the competitors. Furthermore, the lack of an effect of changing the CO sub(2) or temperature environment on the direction of interspecific competition suggests that the competitiveness of the invasive Vulpia will be minimally affected by changes in atmospheric CO sub(2) concentration or temperature.

T1 - Racial Differences in Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke Among Children
AN - 14729019; 10678682
AB - Data from the Cincinnati Asthma Prevention study were used to examine whether African-American children with asthma had higher serum and hair cotinine levels compared with white children with asthma even after accounting for reported environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) both inside and outside the home. A questionnaire was utilized to assess ETS exposure, and detailed information about the home environment was collected. While African-American children were reportedly exposed to fewer cigarettes per day in or around the home than white children, African-American children had significantly higher levels of both serum and hair cotinine. African-American children were found to have smaller home volumes, were less likely to have fans or an air conditioner, and were less likely to be exposed to ETS in a car.

T1 - Assessment of Estrogenic Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Actions in the Brain Using in Vivo Somatic Gene Transfer
AN - 14728917; 10678677
AB - Polyethylenimine-mediated somatic gene transfer has been developed to introduce an estrogen response element (ERA)thymidine kinaseluciferase construct into the brain to assess in vivo the endocrine-disrupting chemical modulation of gene transcription. In this study, the somatic gene transfer procedures were adapted to demonstrate that waterborne estrogenic pollutants regulate transcription in vivo, both in Xenopus laevis tadpoles and in adult goldfish Carassium auratus. The activation of an ERE-dependent luciferase reporter gene in both tadpoles and fish indicated that waterborne estrogens could directly modulate transcription of estrogen-responsive genes in the brain. The effect was found for both bisphenol A and ethinylestradiol, but not for low physiologic levels of 17 beta -estradiol.

T1 - Can Lessons from Public Health Disease Surveillance Be Applied to Environmental Public Health Tracking?
AN - 14728833; 10678663
AB - Surveillance for various diseases and toxic agents is an established feature of public health systems in developed countries. Such is the case at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the EPA, but the data systems focus either on diseases/syndromes or on media without formal linkage between systems. Here, the properties and lessons learned from disease surveillance systems are examined in terms of their applications to environmental public health tracking. It is argued that an environmental public health tracking system can take advantage of already existing active, passive, or sentinel surveillance systems if the requirements for linkage are fulfilled. Criteria are outlined for the expansion/contraction of an existing environmental public health tracking and surveillance system.

T1 - The Role of Syntrophic Associations in Sustaining Anaerobic Mineralization of Chlorinated Organic Compounds
AN - 14728714; 10678674
AB - Two model microbial communities were used to study the degradation of 3-chlorobenzoate and 2-chlorophenol. The communities were maintained in batch laboratory systems derived from two different anaerobic habitats: lake sediment and municipal wastewater sludge. Population changes relative to substrate production and use were evaluated using two complementary nucleic acid-based methods: DNA extraction, amplification, separation, and sequencing; and RNA extraction, hybridization, and quantification. Results showed that Syntrophus-like populations occurred in the 3-chlorobenzoate-degrading communities, and in the presence of hydrogen-consuming populations, the characterized Syntrophus species fermented benzoate in the presence of both compounds. The level of rRNA targeted by the Syntrophus-specific probe tracked with the formation of benzoate during metabolism of the parent compounds.

T1 - Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica Dust in the United States, 19882003
AN - 14728661; 10678665
AB - The OSHA Integrated Management Information System database was used to assess the airborne concentration of crystalline silica exposure in the US between 1988 and 2003. The analytic framework was based on Stewart and Rice's method for grouping industries with the highest geometric means and those with the lowest geometric means, focusing on the analysis of personal samples of silica exposure levels measured as an 8-h time-weighted average measurement among workers in various industries and occupations. The analysis revealed that the geometric mean crystalline silica exposure level had declined in some high-risk construction industries over the study period, as well as in the gray iron industry, although an upward trend in the silica respirable dust exposure level was detected in the gray iron foundry industry for spruers.

T1 - Vascular Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Arsenosis Can Be Reversed by Reduction of Arsenic Exposure
AN - 14727748; 10678678
AB - In Gangfangying village, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China, where groundwater concentrations of arsenic are up to 1790 mu g/l, the impact of a reduction of chronic As intoxication on vascular dysfunction was examined. The urinary excretion of cyclic 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and peripheral vascular function were examined in arsenosis patients before and after they were supplied with low-As drinking water in August 1999. The study was conducted just before the new water system was installed and again in September 2000. After the new after system was installed, the mean As level in well water decreased from 180 to 37 mu g/l. Consumption of the low-As water for 13 months resulted in a marked decrease in the As levels in biological samples, including urine and blood, and the urinary cGMP levels increased to normal. In addition, peripheral vascular response to cold stress was improved significantly in male arsenosis patients.

T1 - Effects of Air Pollution on Heart Rate Variability: the VA Normative Aging Study
AN - 14726979; 10678673
AB - Data from the Normative Aging Study, which is a longitudinal study of aging established by the US Veterans Administration (VA) in 1963, were used to examine the relationship between alterations in heart rate variability and ambient air pollutants. Continuous PM sub(2.5), particle number concentration, and black carbon were measured at the Harvard School of Public Health monitoring site in Massachusetts, while data on ozone, sulfur dioxide, temperature, and dew-point temperature were obtained from local monitoring sites of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. Results revealed that PM sub(2.5) and O sub(3) were associated with decreased heart rate variability. The associations were strongest with the 48-h moving averages of particles, but O sub(3) had a shorter-term impact. Subjects with ischemic heart disease and hypertension appeared to have larger reductions in heart rate variability measures in relation to both PM sub(2.5) and O sub(3) exposures. When medications were examined, calcium-channel blockers had the most profound effect on the pollution associations, especially for O sub(3).

T1 - Children's Exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds as Determined by Longitudinal Measurements in Blood
AN - 14726828; 10678679
AB - Longitudinal measurements of blood VOC concentrations were examined for a probability sample of elementary school-age children from two economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Minneapolis, MN, and correlations were explored with matched measurements of personal exposure to airborne VOCs and total urinary cotinine levels. Blood samples were collected during winter and spring of both 2000 and 2001, and the children also wore or carried a small passive sampler in the 2000 study to measure airborne VOC concentrations. Data from timeactivity logs indicated that the children spent most of their time indoors at home or at school and had relatively little exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. During the monitoring sessions, more than 50% of the samples were above the detection limit for benzene, ethylbenzene, styrene, and m- and x-xylene, while more than 30% were above the detection limit for 1,4-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, and x-xylene. The distributions of blood VOC concentrations were relatively stable, although mean blood concentrations were significantly higher in spring than in winter for benzene, tetrachloroethylene, and xylenes. The mean levels of 1,4-dichlorobenzene were higher in African-Americans, Hispanics, Somali immigrants, and Southeast-Asian children compared with white and Native American children, and ethylbenzene concentrations in blood were higher for children whose caregiver reported the use of home deodorizers. No significant association was found between total urinary cotinine and blood VOC concentrations.

T1 - Occupational Exposure to Carbofuran and the Incidence of Cancer in the Agricultural Health Study
AN - 14726774; 10678670
AB - Data from the Agricultural Health Study, which was a prospective cohort study of 57,311 licensed restricted-use pesticide applicators and 32,347 of their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina, were used to examine the relationship between occupational exposure to carbofuran and several tumor sites. Results indicated that carbofuran exposure was not associated with the incidence of all cancers combined or with any tumor site examined except lung cancer. The lung cancer rate ratio was increased threefold among those with more than 109 lifetime-days of use. The risk of lung cancer increased also when the frequency of exposure and duration of exposure were examined separately. In addition, the risk estimates increased as exposure increased for both former and current smokers.

T1 - PCB Exposure and in Vivo CYP1A2 Activity Among Native Americans
AN - 14726699; 10678668
AB - Blood samples were collected from 103 adults at the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne, and PCB concentrations were measured and related to cytochrome P-450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity, which was determined noninvasively using a breath test that utilized caffeine as a metabolic probe. A questionnaire was employed to collected lifestyle and demographic information. The median serum total PCB level was 1.86 ppb, and the median serum concentration for the sum of nine mono- or di-ortho-substituted congeners was 0.83 ppb. The most commonly detected congener was PCB 153. Higher median caffeine breath test values were found for smokers, men, older subjects, those with lower body mass indices, those without a history of hypertension, current coffee drinkers, and those who did not take antibiotics. After adjusting for cigarette smoking and sex, serum total PCB levels were not associated with caffeine breath test values in either the wet-weight or lipid-adjusted analyses, although the sum of the mono- and di-ortho-substituted congeners was related significantly to the caffeine breath test values in both analyses.

T1 - Asthma and Farm Exposures in a Cohort of Rural Iowa Children
AN - 14726440; 10678680
AB - Data from the Keokuk County Rural Health Study, which is a large, population-based study of a cohort of rural families living in an agricultural region of southeastern Iowa, were examined to assess asthma prevalence in children and its relationship to farm exposures. Four asthma outcomes were used to estimate asthma prevalence, and skin prick testing was used to examine 18 aeroallergens common to the Midwest. Children who were born on a farm were found to have a lower prevalence of atopy, a lower prevalence of diagnosed allergies, and a higher forced vital capacity. Farm children were consistently exposed to less tobacco smoke but were more often exposed to wood stoves, conditions resulting in dehumidifier use, cats as pets, and application of pesticides outside the home. In addition to age, sex, history of allergies, family history of allergies, premature birth, early respiratory infection, and high-risk birth, living on a farm that raised swine and the addition of antibiotics to feed were associated independently with asthma/medication for wheeze, current wheeze, and cough with exercise.

T1 - Intersexuality and the Cricket Frog Decline: Historic and Geographic Trends
AN - 14726365; 10678666
AB - Gonads of cricket frogs Acris crepitans from museum specimens in Illinois were examined to assess a possible relationship between the observed specie decline and the temporal and spatial occurrence of intersexuality. The years of collection ranged 18522001. Intersexuality was manifested in two forms: most intersex frogs had an ovotestis where proportionately large ova were present within testicular tissue, and a few had a complete testis and complete ovary. The proportion of intersex frogs was much greater in the urbanized northeastern part of the state than in other areas. Temporally, the percentage of intersex individuals increased from 1930 to 1945, and the highest percentage was found in frogs collected between 1946 and 1959, while the lowest percentage was found in the most recent period.

T1 - Mercury in Commercial Fish: Optimizing Individual Choices to Reduce Risk
AN - 14724952; 10678667
AB - Total mercury concentrations were measured in selected fish and shellfish purchased in different areas of New Jersey, and information on the availability and price of fish was combined with Hg levels to consider how people could reduce their risk within their local community. A fillet of tuna, flounder, and bluefish was purchased from each selected market. Results showed that tuna had the highest Hg levels, while flounder had the lowest, but there were few differences in Hg as a function of region, type of market, and economic neighborhood. Among the other fish and shellfish examined, large shrimp had significantly lower Hg levels than small shrimp. When consumers selected fish species that were most available, a range of potential Hg exposures was found, but when consumers selected on the basis of cost, the range of Hg levels was lower.

T1 - Binding of Estrogenic Compounds to Recombinant Estrogen Receptor- alpha : Application to Environmental Analysis
AN - 14723877; 10678669
AB - Tools were developed for characterizing substances with moderate estrogenic activity in complex mixtures. Estrogenic activity was evaluated with the MELN cell line, and two complementary methodologies were proposed for complex mixture characterization. One enabled the capture of compounds of high affinity for estrogen receptor- alpha (ER- alpha ) by limited amounts of ER- alpha ligand-binding domain, and the second allowed ER ligand separation from other compounds by recombinant ER- alpha immobilized on agarose columns. Estrogen and dioxin-like activities were followed with the MELN and HAhLP cells, respectively. Development of the methods is detailed, and results are presented from their application to surface water and sediments sampled at a site in the Seine watershed, France. Results show that compounds with high affinity for ER were present mainly in water, while medium- or low-affinity compounds were present in sediments.

T1 - Necessity to Measure PCBs and Organochlorine Pesticide Concentrations in Human Umbilical Cords for Fetal Exposure Assessment
AN - 14723685; 10678672
AB - To explore the relationship of contamination between mothers and fetuses, persistent chemicals were measured in comparable sets of three tissue samples: umbilical cord, umbilical cord serum, and maternal serum. The tissue samples were obtained from 32 pregnant women in Chiba and Yamanashi, Japan, who delivered by cesarean section. A strong correlation was found between maternal serum and umbilical cord serum for some organochlorine pesticides and PCB congeners. On a lipid basis, chemical concentrations were often higher in umbilical cord tissue than in umbilical cord serum, and the detection rates and the concentrations in umbilical cord serum were often lower than in maternal serum and umbilical cord tissue.

T1 - Gene transfer to plants by diverse species of bacteria
AN - 17722982; 6142017
AB - Agrobacterium is widely considered to be the only bacterial genus capable of transferring genes to plants. When suitably modified, Agrobacterium has become the most effective vector for gene transfer in plant biotechnology. However, the complexity of the patent landscape has created both real and perceived obstacles to the effective use of this technology for agricultural improvements by many public and private organizations worldwide. Here we show that several species of bacteria outside the Agrobacterium genus can be modified to mediate gene transfer to a number of diverse plants. These plant- associated symbiotic bacteria were made competent for gene transfer by acquisition of both a disarmed Ti plasmid and a suitable binary vector. This alternative to Agrobacterium-mediated technology for crop improvement, in addition to affording a versatile 'open source' platform for plant biotechnology, may lead to new uses of natural bacteria-plant interactions to achieve plant transformation.

T1 - The tipping point: the Library of Congress Web sites.
AN - 57630688; 412031
AB - Since 1997 the Library of Congress (USA) has made many of its holdings available through the Internet. Prompted by a Congress mandate, the American Memory historical collections (http: //memory.loc.gov) were created, with as top priority to put as much content as possible on the Web as quickly as possible. Standard file formats were used. Data was made accessible without the requirement of expensive proprietary applications or non-standard browser plug-ins. New tools and applications were added as they became main stream. With the initial Web site focusing on a traditional library audience, additional websites were developed targeting more specific user groups. The Library of Congress is now evaluating the work done and is reconsidering future development of its Web presence supported by feedback from its users. The long-term vision includes: recognisable branding and style, popular content for the general public with additional content for specific user groups including a growing international audience, personal portals to library content, new quality content to fill existing gaps, adherence to Web standards and leading by example through exercising best practice.

T1 - Urinary Creatinine Concentrations in the U.S. Population: Implications for Urinary Biologic Monitoring Measurements
AN - 21431392; 12457384
AB - Biologic monitoring (i.e., biomonitoring) is used to assess human exposures to environmental and workplace chemicals. Urinary biomonitoring data typically are adjusted to a constant creatinine concentration to correct for variable dilutions among spot samples. Traditionally, this approach has been used in population groups without much diversity. The inclusion of multiple demographic groups in studies using biomonitoring for exposure assessment has increased the variability in the urinary creatinine levels in these study populations. Our objectives were to document the normal range of urinary creatinine concentrations among various demographic groups, evaluate the impact that variations in creatinine concentrations can have on classifying exposure status of individuals in epidemiologic studies, and recommend an approach using multiple regression to adjust for variations in creatinine in multivariate analyses. We performed a weighted multivariate analysis of urinary creatinine concentrations in 22,245 participants of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) and established reference ranges (10th-90th percentiles) for each demographic and age category. Significant predictors of urinary creatinine concentration included age group, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and fat-free mass. Time of day that urine samples were collected made a small but statistically significant difference in creatinine concentrations. For an individual, the creatinine-adjusted concentration of an analyte should be compared with a "reference" range derived from persons in a similar demographic group (e.g., children with children, adults with adults). For multiple regression analysis of population groups, we recommend that the analyte concentration (unadjusted for creatinine) should be included in the analysis with urinary creatinine added as a separate independent variable. This approach allows the urinary analyte concentration to be appropriately adjusted for urinary creatinine and the statistical significance of other variables in the model to be independent of effects of creatinine concentration.

T1 - An Approach to Evaluation of the Effect of Bioremediation on Biological Activity of Environmental Contaminants: Dechlorination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls
AN - 21424558; 12457368
AB - The effectiveness of bioremediation efforts is assessed traditionally from the loss of the chemical of interest. In some cases, analytical techniques are coupled with evaluation of toxicity to organisms representative of those found in the affected environment or surrogate organisms. Little is known, however, about the effect of remediation of environmental chemicals on potential toxicity to mammalian organisms. We discuss both an approach that employs mammalian cell system bioassays and the criteria for selection of the assays. This approach has been used to evaluate the biological response to mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) before and after remediation by reductive dechlorination. The dechlorination process used results in accumulation of congeners substituted in only the ortho and para positions and containing fewer chlorines than the starting mixtures. Evaluation of the dechlorinated mixture reveals a loss of biological activity that could be ascribed to coplanar PCBs not containing chlorine in the ortho positions. Conversely, biological activity associated with ortho-substituted PCB congeners is unaffected or increased by remediation. Thus, the results of the bioassays are consistent with the remediation-induced change in the profile of PCB congeners and the known mechanisms of action of PCBs. The results emphasize a need for evaluation of the products of remediation for biological activity in mammalian systems. Furthermore, the approach outlined demonstrates the potential to assess the impact of remediation on a range of biological activities in mammalian cells and thus to estimate positive and negative effects of remediation strategies on toxicity. Future needs in this area of research include assays to evaluate biological effects under conditions of exposure that mimic those found in the environment and models to extrapolate effects to assess risk to people and wildlife.

AB - With astronauts on the International Space Station being allotted only half a gallon of water per day and aerospace engineers setting their sights on a manned mission to Mars, scientists have developed innovative methods to turn waste liquids into potable water for use during space travel. These methods use processes such as catalytic oxidation and biological treatment reactors to produce the highly purified water required by astronautsi unique zero-gravity environment. Now scientists are looking at ways to adapt these technologies for use with specialized water systems on Earth.

T1 - Will Investments in Large-Scale Prospective Cohorts and Biobanks Limit Our Ability to Discover Weaker, Less Common Genetic and Environmental Contributors to Complex Diseases?
AN - 21419232; 12457645
AB - Increasing the size of prospective cohorts and biobanks is one approach to discovering previously unknown contributors to complex diseases, but it may come at the price of concealing contributors that are less common across all the participants in those larger studies and of limiting hypothesis generation. Prospective cohorts and biobanks constitute significant, long-term investments in research infrastructure that will have ongoing consequences for opportunities in biomedical research for the foreseeable future. Thus, it is important to think about how these major additions to research infrastructure can be designed to be more productive in generating hypotheses for novel environmental contributors to complex diseases and to help identify genetic and environmental contributors that may not be common across the larger samples but are more frequent within local or ancestral subsets. Incorporating open-ended inquiries and qualitative information about local communal and ecologic contexts and the political, economic, and other social structures that affect health status and outcome will enable qualitative hypothesis generation in those localized contexts, as well as the collection of more detailed genealogic and family health history information that may be useful in designing future studies. Using communities as building blocks for larger cohorts and biobanks presents some practical and ethical challenges but also enhances opportunities for interdisciplinary, multilevel investigations of the multifactorial contributors to complex diseases.

AN - 21413225; 12457649
AB - During the last 20 years, nationwide exceedances of the federal 1-hr ozone standard declined 90%, and the June-August average of daily 1-hr peak ozone levels declined 10% (Schwartz et al., in press), presumably with ensuing declines in ozone-related mortality. Ozone declined despite a roughly 1 degrees C increase in urban temperatures during the last few decades (Karl et al. 1988). Knowlton et al. (2004) did not explain why we should expect the future to be the opposite of the past.

T1 - Developmental Exposure to Low-Dose PBDE-99: Effects on Male Fertility and Neurobehavior in Rat Offspring
AN - 21403838; 12457643
AB - In utero exposure to a single low dose of 2,2 ,4,4 ,5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-99) disrupts neurobehavioral development and causes permanent effects on the rat male reproductive system apparent in adulthood. PBDEs, a class of flame retardants, are widely used in every sector of modern life to prevent fire. They are persistent in the environment, and increasing levels of PBDEs have been found in biota and human breast milk. In the present study we assessed the effects of developmental exposure to one of the most persistent PBDE congeners (PBDE-99) on juvenile basal motor activity levels and adult male reproductive health. Wistar rat dams were treated by gavage on gestation day 6 with a single low dose of 60 or 300 microg PBDE-99/kg body weight (bw). In offspring, basal locomotor activity was evaluated on postnatal days 36 and 71, and reproductive performance was assessed in males at adulthood. The exposure to low-dose PBDE-99 during development caused hyperactivity in the offspring at both time points and permanently impaired spermatogenesis by the means of reduced sperm and spermatid counts. The doses used in this study (60 and 300 microg/kg bw) are relevant to human exposure levels, being approximately 6 and 29 times, respectively, higher than the highest level reported in human breast adipose tissue. This is the lowest dose of PBDE reported to date to have an in vivo toxic effect in rodents and supports the premise that low-dose studies should be encouraged for hazard identification of persistent environmental pollutants.

T1 - Organochlorine Pesticides and Male Genital Anomalies in the Child Health and Development Studies
AN - 21403754; 12457382
AB - Increasing rates of cryptorchidism and hypospadias in human populations may be caused by exogenous environmental agents. We conducted a case-control study of serum levels of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its major metabolite, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and cryptorchidism and hypospadias in the Child Health and Development Study, a longitudinal cohort of pregnancies that occurred between 1959 and 1967, a period when DDT was produced and used in the United States. Serum was available from the mothers of 75 male children born with cryptorchidism, 66 with hypospadias, and 4 with both conditions. We randomly selected 283 controls from the cohort of women whose male babies were born without either of these conditions. Overall, we observed no statistically significant relationships or trends between outcomes and serum measures. After adjusting for maternal race, triglyceride level, and cholesterol level, compared with boys whose mothers had serum DDE levels 27.0 ng/mL, boys whose mothers had serum DDE levels or = 61.0 ng/mL had odds ratios of 1.34 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.51-3.48] for cryptorchidism and 1.18 (95% CI, 0.46-3.02) for hypospadias. For DDT, compared with boys whose mothers had serum DDT levels 10.0 ng/mL, boys whose mothers had serum DDT levels or = 20.0 ng/mL had adjusted odds ratios of 1.01 (95% CI, 0.44-2.28) for cryptorchidism and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.33-1.89) for hypospadias. This study does not support an association of DDT or DDE and hypospadias or cryptorchidism.

T1 - Inappropriate Influence by Industry on EHP News Article
AN - 21391021; 12457648
AB - We are disturbed at the recent revelation that, before its publication, an EHP Science Selection article on the toxic rocket fuel additive perchlorate (Renner 2002) was substantially revised by a paid consultant to the perchlorate industry to downplay adverse health effects (Danelski 2004). EHP contracted freelance journalist Rebecca Renner to write the Science Selection piece to accompany publication of a research article by Greer et al. (2002). The Greer study was partially funded by the Perchlorate Study Group (PSG), a self-described alliance of perchlorate users and manufacturers, including the military contractors Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Aerojet, and Kerr-McGee. It seems apparent that the PSG had a significant financial interest in continued perchlorate use.

T1 - Chlorpyrifos Accumulation Patterns for Child-Accessible Surfaces and Objects and Urinary Metabolite Excretion by Children for 2 Weeks after Crack-and-Crevice Application
AN - 21391001; 12457640
AB - The Children's Post-Pesticide Application Exposure Study (CPPAES) was conducted to look at the distribution of chlorpyrifos within a home environment for 2 weeks after a routine professional crack-and-crevice application and to determine the amount of the chlorpyrifos that is absorbed by a child living within the home. Ten residential homes with a 2- to 5-year-old child in each were selected for study, and the homes were treated with chlorpyrifos. Pesticide measurements were made from the indoor air, indoor surfaces, and plush toys. In addition, periodic morning urine samples were collected from each of the children throughout the 2-week period. We analyzed the urine samples for 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol, the primary urinary metabolite of chlorpyrifos, and used the results to estimate the children's absorbed dose. Average chlorpyrifos levels in the indoor air and surfaces were 26 (pretreatment)/120 (posttreatment) ng/m3 and 0.48 (pretreatment)/2.8 (posttreatment) ng/cm2, respectively, reaching peak levels between days 0 and 2; subsequently, concentrations decreased throughout the 2-week period. Chlorpyrifos in/on the plush toys ranged from 7.3 to 1,949 ng/toy postapplication, with concentrations increasing throughout the 2-week period, demonstrating a cumulative adsorption/absorption process indoors. The daily amount of chlorpyrifos estimated to be absorbed by the CPPAES children postapplication ranged from 0.04 to 4.8 microg/kg/day. During the 2 weeks after the crack-and-crevice application, there was no significant increase in the amount of chlorpyrifos absorbed by the CPPAES children.

T1 - AMERICA'S OCEANS: A Blueprint for the Future
AN - 21383835; 12457383
AB - In September 2004 the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy presented its report, An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century, to President Bush and Congress. The document paints a grim picture of the state of our nationis coastlines and oceans, and makes 212 recommendations for helping to restore the health of coastal and marine ecosystems. It advises that a National Ocean Council be formed to better coordinate ocean-related laws and regulations, and that a trust fund be set up to finance implementation of the recommendations. In response to the report, the President established the Committee on Ocean Policy in December 2004. The question now is how well this committee will meet the challenges laid out in the report.

T1 - Exposure to PCBs and p,p'-DDE and Human Sperm Chromatin Integrity
AN - 21377615; 12457641
AB - Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE), the major metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), are stable lipophilic compounds widely found in the environment and in the general population. They can enter the food chain, and their negative impact on male reproduction is currently under active scrutiny. To explore the hypothesis that environmental exposure to these compounds is associated with altered sperm chromatin structure integrity in human sperm, we conducted a study of 176 Swedish fishermen (with low and high consumption of fatty fish, a very important exposure source of POPs). We determined serum levels of 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (CB-153) and p,p'-DDE, and we used the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) to assess sperm DNA/chromatin integrity. When CB-153 serum levels (individual dose range, 39-1,460 ng/g lipid) were categorized into equally sized quintiles, we found an association with the DNA fragmentation index (%DFI). A significantly lower %DFI was found in the lowest CB-153 quintile ( 113 ng/g lipid) compared with the other quintiles; there was a similar tendency, although not statistically significant, between %DFI and p,p'-DDE. These results suggest that POP exposure may have a slight negative impact on human sperm chromatin integrity.

T1 - Global Gene Expression Profiling in Whole-Blood Samples from Individuals Exposed to Metal Fumes
AN - 21345205; 7674366
AB - Accumulating evidence demonstrates that particulate air pollutants can cause both pulmonary and airway inflammation. However, few data show that particulates can induce systemic inflammatory responses. We conducted an exploratory study using microarray techniques to analyze whole-blood total RNA in boilermakers before and after occupational exposure to metal fumes. A self-controlled study design was used to overcome the problems of larger between-individual variation interferences with observations of relatively smaller changes caused by environmental exposure. Moreover, we incorporated the dichotomous data of absolute gene expression status in the microarray analyses. Compared with nonexposed controls, we observed that genes with altered expression in response to particulate exposure were clustered in biologic processes related to inflammatory response, oxidative stress, intracellular signal transduction, cell cycle, and programmed cell death. In particular, the preinflammatory cytokine interleukin 8 and one of its receptors, chemokine receptor 4, seemed to play important roles in early-stage response to heavy metal exposure and were down-regulated. Furthermore, most observed expression variations were from nonsmoking exposed individuals, suggesting that smoking profoundly affects whole-blood expression profiles. Our study is the first to demonstrate that with a paired sampling study design of pre- and postexposed individuals, small changes in gene expression profiling can be measured in whole-blood total RNA from a population-based study. This technique can be applied to evaluate the host response to other forms of environmental exposures.

T1 - Patterns of host use by the shoot-borer Hypsipyla robusta (Pyralidae: Lepidoptera) comparing five Meliaceae tree species in Asia and Australia
AN - 20818644; 8246904
AB - Larvae of moths in the genus Hypsipyla are specialist feeders on trees in the Swietenioideae sub-family of Meliaceae. It has been suggested that there is a pattern of preference for endemic hosts such that the Asian Hypsipyla robusta damages Asian swietenioid host species, but avoids American and African species in the same sub-family. However, this claim has never been tested in well replicated multi-species field trials. In this study we consider five swietenioid tree species: Toona ciliata and Chukrasia tabularis from the Asian/Australian region, Swietenia macrophylla and Cedrela odorata from tropical America and Khaya senegalensis from Africa. These species were included in trials planted in four widely dispersed sites in the Asian/Australian region (Thailand, Laos PDR, the Philippines and Australia). We found that all five tree species were attacked by H. robusta. The ''preference for endemic hosts'' hypothesis was however, supported in two ways. Firstly, T. ciliata, the only species endemic to the regions of all four field sites, was always more frequently attacked than the American and African species. Secondly, we observed that C. tabularis was frequently damaged in trials within the tree's native range (Thailand and Laos) and relatively less damaged when growing outside of its native range (the Philippines and Australia) reflecting geographic variation in the host use pattern of H. robusta.

T1 - Diagnostic Radiology: Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism: Ventilation perfusion scintigraphy versus helical computed tomography pulmonary angiography
AN - 19926524; 6222677
AB - The present study compared the accuracy of ventilation perfusion scintigraphy (VQS) and CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. This was a prospective observational study of 112 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) who could be studied with both investigations within 24 h. Results were compared to final diagnosis at completion of 6-month follow up, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 27 referred patients (24%). The sensitivity and specificity of VQS and CTPA were similar to that reported from the literature. A normal VQ scan had the highest negative predictive value (100%), while a high-probability VQ scan had the highest positive predictive value (92%). There was no overall difference (area under the ROC curve (AUC)) between VQS (AUC (95% CI) = 0.82 (0.75,0.89)) and CTPA (AUC = 0.88 (0.81,0.94)) for the diagnosis of PE. Among patients with abnormal chest X-rays, CTPA (AUC 0.90 (0.83,0.97)) appeared somewhat better than VQS (AUC 0.78 (0.68,0.88)) but this difference did not reach statistical significance. In this instance, CTPA is at least as accurate as VQS and may provide an opportunity to make alternative diagnoses.

T1 - The influence of superplasticizers on the first steps of tricalcium silicate hydration studied by NMR techniques
AN - 19766854; 6445867
AB - The influence of superplasticizer sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) on the hydration process of tricalcium silicate (C3S) paste was investigated by super(1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spin-spin and spin lattice relaxation times. The addition of SNF superplasticizer to C3S paste clearly affects the morphology and growth rates of the hydration products, mainly by increasing the dormant period length, which lasts for several hours more than in conventional C3S hydrated paste, while reducing the acceleration period length. The relaxation data indicated that a pronounced delay occurs in the C3S hardening when sulfonated polymers are added to the makeup water. For all the analyzed samples, prepared with a water-to-C3S ratio of 0.4, the decay of the echo magnetization has been fitted by adopting both a monoexponential and a biexponential relaxation model in order to evaluate the contributions from water in different regimes of hydration.

T1 - Results of tuberculosis screening in applicants for migration in Vietnam and Cambodia
AN - 17864638; 6193092
AB - Pre-migration medical screening programmes in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. To compare the rates of newly diagnosed bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis (TB) in a cohort of migration applicants in Vietnam and Cambodia with current estimates of the TB burden in these countries. Interviews and medical screening of 5108 Vietnamese and 910 Cambodian migration applicants who applied for an Australian visa. On initial testing, the rate of bacteriologically confirmed TB among the Vietnamese cohort was 157 per 100 000 population compared to 989/100 000 among the Cambodian cohort. When cases detected during follow-up testing were included, the rate in the Vietnamese cohort was 489/100 000 compared to 1209/100 000 in the Cambodian cohort. Although it has been suggested that the rate of newly diagnosed bacteriologically confirmed TB among migration applicants would underestimate the prevalence of TB in the Vietnamese and Cambodian populations, the rates found were substantially higher than current point estimates of the prevalence of TB, particularly for Vietnam. Our findings suggest that current published estimates of the tuberculosis burden in Vietnam and Cambodia may be conservative.

T1 - The Legionella IcmS-IcmW protein complex is important for Dot-Icm-mediated protein translocation
AN - 17864251; 6230110
AB - The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila can infect and replicate within macrophages of a human host. To establish infection, Legionella require the Dot-Icm secretion system to inject protein substrates directly into the host cell cytoplasm. The mechanism by which substrate proteins are engaged and translocated by the Dot-Icm system is not well understood. Here we show that two cytosolic components of the Dot-Icm secretion machinery, the proteins IcmS and IcmW, play an important role in substrate translocation. Biochemical analysis indicates that IcmS and IcmW form a stable protein complex. In Legionella, the IcmW protein is rapidly degraded in the absence of the IcmS protein. Substrate proteins translocated into mammalian host cells by the Dot-Icm system were identified using the IcmW protein as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen. It was determined that the IcmS-IcmW complex interacts with these substrates and plays an important role in translocation of these proteins into mammalian cells. These data are consistent with the IcmS-IcmW complex being involved in the recognition and Dot-Icm-dependent translocation of substrate proteins during Legionella infection of host cells.

T1 - Mediation of Biomaterial--Cell Interactions by Adsorbed Proteins: A Review
AN - 17808345; 6199918
AB - An appropriate cellular response to implanted surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration and integration. It is well described that implanted materials are immediately coated with proteins from blood and interstitial fluids, and it is through this adsorbed layer that cells sense foreign surfaces. Hence, it is the adsorbed proteins, rather than the surface itself, to which cells initially respond. Diverse studies using a range of materials have demonstrated the pivotal role of extracellular adhesion proteins--fibronectin and vitronectin in particular--in cell adhesion, morphology, and migration. These events underlie the subsequent responses required for tissue repair, with the nature of cell surface interactions contributing to survival, growth, and differentiation. The pattern in which adhesion proteins and other bioactive molecules adsorb thus elicits cellular reactions specific to the underlying physicochemical properties of the material. Accordingly, in vitro studies generally demonstrate favorable cell responses to charged, hydrophilic surfaces, corresponding to superior adsorption and bioactivity of adhesion proteins. This review illustrates the mediation of cell responses to biomaterials by adsorbed proteins, in the context of osteoblasts and selected materials used in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering. It is recognized, however, that the periimplant environment in vivo will differ substantially from the cell-biomaterial interface in vitro. Hence, one of the key issues yet to be resolved is that of the interface composition actually encountered by osteoblasts within the sequence of inflammation and bone regeneration.

T1 - How Tightly Can a Drug Be Bound to a Protein and Still Be Removable by Charcoal Hemoperfusion in Overdose Cases?
AN - 17806436; 6207822
AB - Background. Charcoal hemoperfusion is a very effective extracorporeal treatment in cases of drug overdose. The volume of distribution of a drug is the most important factor in limiting the efficacy of the treatment. Typically, drugs with a small volume of distribution are more efficiently removed by this treatment. In contrast, the effect of the plasma protein binding properties of drugs on their removal is not well understood, but it is clear that this binding percentage is an additional factor that affects the treatment. Objective. To clarify the role of protein binding of a drug on the effectiveness of charcoal hemoperfusion and to define a guideline for this treatment based on the percentage of drug binding. Study Design and Methods. Twelve patients with drug overdoses involving 20 different (a total of 32) drugs were hemoperfused using a charcoal column at Japanese Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital in 2000. Immediately after the beginning of the treatment, the plasma concentrations of the drugs in the blood entering (A) and leaving (V) the charcoal column were determined. The extraction efficiency, (A-V)/A, of each drug was then calculated. Results. The efficacy of drug removal through adsorption to activated charcoal was found to be dependent on the binding affinity which is related to the protein binding percentage. The relationship between the extraction efficiencies of a charcoal column and the plasma protein binding percentages of the drug(s) showed that drugs that were bound at levels of 90-95%, or less, were effectively removed from the blood. Conclusions. Charcoal hemoperfusion can effectively remove drugs with a protein binding percentage as high as 95%. In addition to the volume of distribution, the plasma protein binding percentage of the drug can be used as a determinant for clearance by hemoperfusion especially in cases of a drug that binds tightly to a protein.

T1 - Rapid detection of Neisseria meningitidis in cerebrospinal fluid by one-step polymerase chain reaction of the nspA gene
AN - 17802081; 6150040
AB - A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol for the rapid detection of meningococcal DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was developed and optimized. A set of primers based on Neisseria surface protein A (nspA) gene sequence was designed to amplify a 481-bp product specific for N. meningitidis. We tested 85 N. meningitidis strains obtained from patients with meningococcal meningitis and 112 CSF samples from patients with suspected meningococcal meningitis. No amplification of the nspA gene was observed from other Neisseriaceae species (except from N. gonorrhoeae) and from other bacteria frequently associated with meningitis. N. meningitidis belonging to different serogroups yielded the same product after PCR amplification. The sensitivity and specificity of our protocol was determined by comparing the results of specific amplification of nspA gene by PCR reaction (nspA- PCR) with those obtained by conventional methods. All positive samples by conventional methods were confirmed by nspA-PCR, whereas 48% of negative samples after culture and latex agglutination tested positive by nspA-PCR. The use of nspA-PCR proved to be a rapid diagnostic method, in which sensitivity and specificity may not be affected by prior antibiotic treatment.

T1 - Immune control of phagosomal bacteria by p47 GTPases
AN - 17770274; 6149440
AB - Sequestered from the action of complement, antibody and lytic peptides, phagosomal pathogens pose a unique problem for the innate immune system both in terms of detection and disposal. An immunologically induced 47-kDa (p47) GTPase family recruited to nascent phagosomes (PGs) has provided new insights into how vertebrates deal with facultative bacteria occupying a vacuolar niche. Research over the past 2 years in particular has identified several molecular determinants that underlie the membrane trafficking functions of LRG-47 and other p47 GTPases as part of a PG remodeling program. When coupled to signals issuing from pathogen-specific Toll-like receptors, the p47 proteins may constitute a novel sensory system enlisted by mammals, birds and fish to decode the language of immune recognition against this particular class of infectious agents.

T1 - The kangaroo conundrum: home range studies and implications for land management
AN - 17613197; 6228477
AB - The movement of native herbivores onto agricultural land is a key management issue world-wide as they may compete with domestic livestock for pasture and contribute to overgrazing and soil erosion. Eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus are viewed as a problem species in temperate south-eastern Australia, where high-density populations in reserves encroach on nearby farmland. This study examined home range size and use in M. giganteus across different types of land use and in relation to population density and pasture availability. Farmland adjacent to either radiata pine plantations or reserves supporting high-density populations of M. giganteus was subject to frequent incursions by kangaroos moving onto farmland to rest or graze. However, animals from reserves moved on average only 135 m onto farms. Home ranges of M. giganteus were significantly smaller in the reserves than in farm study sites where population densities were lower. At reserve sites, home range size was limited by higher population densities and limited opportunity for dispersal across surrounding open farmland because of a lack of cover. Home range size was not affected by resource availability. Where suitable vegetation cover occurred on farmland (e.g. woodland remnants or scrub), M. giganteus occurred as resident or roving small mobs. This may be seen by farmers as a disincentive to preserve remnant vegetation as it can provide habitat for unwanted native wildlife. Home range attributes of M. giganteus suggest the species could be controlled by culling. However, recolonization occurs quickly and little is known of dispersal. Synthesisandapplications. Population density, presence of cover and reluctance to disperse across cleared landscapes are key factors influencing kangaroo home range size and use of adjacent farmland. Currently, little incentive exists for farmers to preserve remnant vegetation, as it may be regarded as providing habitat for unwanted or 'pest' kangaroos. Given the potential importance of remnant vegetation on private land for the conservation of plants and other species of wildlife, government incentives and compensation programmes may be required to limit land clearing on farms and to encourage improved pasture management.

T1 - DTI of trabecular bone marrow
AN - 17363778; 6445832
AB - The development of NMR diffusion imaging and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has offered the possibility of studying the porous structures beyond anatomical imaging. In fact, random molecular motions, within tissue components, probe tissue microstructures. Up to now, the DTI method was mainly used to investigate cerebral morphology and study white matter diseases. In this study, it has been applied to trabecular bone marrow analysis to obtain structural information on spongy bone tissue. Our first results show that DTI could represent an important tool in studying the microstructural architecture of the trabecular bone as well as the microarchitecture of porous media.

T1 - Ambient Air Pollution and Atherosclerosis in Los Angeles
AN - 14733617; 10677674
AB - The association between residential ambient PM sub(2.5) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), which is a well-established quantitative measure of generalized atherosclerosis, was investigated using pre-randomization baseline data from two recent clinical trials conducted in Los Angeles, CA. The Vitamin E Atherosclerosis Progression Study investigated the effects of vitamin E on the progression of the disease, and the B-Vitamin Atherosclerosis Intervention Trial focused on the effect of vitamin B supplementation. Results showed a 5.9% increase in CIMT per 10 mu g/m super(3) PM sub(2.5). The association between CIMT and PM sub(2.5) was substantially stronger among subjects reporting lipid-lowering medication at study entry, both in men and women, and results suggested significant age and sex interactions, with much larger effects observed in women and in the older age group.

T1 - Relation of Trihalomethane Concentrations in Public Water Supplies to Stillbirth and Birth Weight in Three Water Regions in England
AN - 14733061; 10677678
AB - In three water regions in the UK, the relationship between trihalomethane concentrations in public water supplies and the risk of stillbirth and low birth weight was investigated. Water samples were collected routinely and analyzed from each water zone using random samples at the tap, and the postal code of the maternal residence at the year of birth was used to identify the water zone of interest and the appropriate exposure status for each birth record. The study population consisted of all births in the water regions for the period 199298. Only in one region was there a trend of increasing prevalence of low and very low birth weight and stillbirths from low- to medium- to high-exposure areas. The odds ratios associated with total trihalomethane exposure showed statistically significant heterogeneity between water regions for both low and very low birth weight but not for stillbirths.

T1 - Airborne Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from a Concentrated Swine Feeding Operation
AN - 14732557; 10677664
AB - Air samples were collected within a swine concentrated animal feeding operation in the eastern US, and tests were performed for the presence of antibiotic-resistant enterococci. Resistance to erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, and virginiamycin was investigated. Forty-seven isolates were confirmed to be Enterococcus, while 44 were identified as staphylococci, 45 were identified as viridans group streptococci, and one was identified as Micrococcus luteus. Resistance to high levels of at lease two antibiotics was found in 98% of the bacterial isolates, and 93% were resistant to three antibiotics. In terms of the individual antibiotics, 98, 94, 90, and 37% of the isolates were resistant to erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, and virginiamycin, respectively.

T1 - Topophila and the Quality of Life
AN - 14731913; 10677665
AB - Topophila is defined as the affective bond between people and place or environmental setting. In this study, the responses of 379 human subjects to a structured 18-item questionnaire on topophila and a 26-item WHO Quality of Life instrument were examined to identify specific aspects of ecosystems and artificial landscapes that are more likely to support restoration and the enhancement of quality of life. Restorative environments constituted places associated with relief from mental stress or fatigue. The overall quality of life score was associated significantly with high ratings of topophila. Ecologic designs using ecodiversity themes, particularly the presence of flowers, lakes, or oceans, were perceived generally as providing restorative environments, whereas environmental and landscape design strategies associated with cognitive challenge, such as complexity, coherence, and the use of textural stimulation, were less effective in creating impressions of environmental restoration.

T1 - Use of Ecotoxicological Tools to Evaluate the Health of New Bedford Harbor Sediments: a Microbial Biomarker Approach
AN - 14730300; 10677672
AB - New Bedford Harbor, MA, has been contaminated historically with heavy metals and PCBs. Results are presented from a research program aimed at developing a suite of microbial molecular biomarkers to evaluate the health of New Bedford Harbor sediments. The physiological and biochemical responses in biota were evaluated to validate the microbial biomarker approach. Species diversity was evaluated by extracting DNA from sediment and subjecting it to restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the 16S rRNA genes. While greater diversity was observed at contaminated sites relative to less-contaminated sites, an increased genetic relatedness was observed. The ability of bacteria to develop metal resistance was examined as a microbial biomarker. Results showed that ars genes were prevalent in New Bedford Harbor sediments among both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with a diverse group of 16S rRNA restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns. Results from a survey using the rapid assessment of marine pollutants approach showed that PCBs and PAHs in mussel tissue were highest in the inner harbor site, decreasing along a pollution gradient toward the control site. Chromosomal damage was also greatest at the most polluted sites, and immune function, heart rate, and cell viability decreased with increasing pollution.

T1 - Metals in Urine and Peripheral Arterial Disease
AN - 14730238; 10677668
AB - Data from the 19992000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to evaluate the association of metal levels in urine with the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Mean concentrations in urine were lowest for tungsten and highest for molybdenum. Men had higher levels than women for most metals, and cadmium and lead tended to increase with age. Blacks and Mexican Americans had higher levels of Cd, Pb, and W than whites, and blacks had higher levels of cesium, Mo, antimony, and thallium. Subjects with PAD had higher mean levels of Cd in urine compared to subjects without PAD, and subjects with PAD had higher mean levels of W.

T1 - Comparison of Ultrastructural Cytotoxic Effects of Carbon and Carbon/Iron Particulates on Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages
AN - 14728963; 10677669
AB - Synthetic 1- mu m carbon and C/iron particulates were used to assess the ultrastructural cytotoxic effects on human monocyte-derived macrophages. Luminescent assays using luminol for oxidative bursts were conducted after exposure of macrophages to the particulates, and the ability of the particulates to produce hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide was explored. Results showed that the oxidative burst reached its peak in the C/Fe-exposed cells after 20 min and then diminished gradually, while no oxidation burst was detected in the C-exposed cells. At 2 h post-exposure, ultrastructural signs of macrophage activation were evident with generalized dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum, and numerous C particulates were seen within intact lysosomes. At 24 h, the lysosomal membranes around the agglomerates were often ruptured. The data suggested that the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species was responsible for the ultrastructural changes observed.

T1 - Persistence of the exotic kelp Undaria pinnatifida does not depend on sea urchin grazing
AN - 17611981; 6146225
AB - We investigated mechanisms enabling persistence of the introduced Asian kelp Undaria pinnatifida on the sea urchin (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) `barrens' on the east coast of Tasmania. Development of dense stands of U. pinnatifida requires disturbance to reduce the cover of native algae. Observations of U. pinnatifida occurring abundantly on sea urchin barrens suggests that disturbance in the form of grazing by sea urchins prevents recovery of native canopy-forming species, allowing dense stands of U. pinnatifida to persist. We examined this hypothesis over a 30 mo period in a manipulative experiment in which the response of native algae and U. pinnatifida was examined in treatments comprising all possible combinations of +/- urchins, +/- U. pinnatifida and +/- enhanced native algal spore inoculum. The results demonstrated that the sea urchin H. erythrogramma can have a significant impact on U. pinnatifida abundance. The response was most dramatic in the 2001 sporophyte growth season, when sea urchins destructively grazed U. pinnatifida sporophytes in experimental plots on the urchin barren. In other years, when there was higher recruitment of U. pinnatifida sporophytes, urchins reduced sporophyte abundance but did not prevent development of a U. pinnatifida canopy. Removal of sea urchins resulted in a slow increase in cover of understorey red algae, but only limited recovery of native canopy-forming species. In treatments where both sea urchins and U. pinnatifida were removed, cover of canopy-forming species did not exceed 6% over the duration of the study. Thus, in the absence of sea urchin grazing, there was no evidence of inhibition of U. pinnatifida by native algae. While the intensity of sea urchin grazing may directly influence the extent of the U. pinnatifida canopy, recovery of native canopy-forming species was apparently influenced by a combination of factors including seaurchin grazing, depth and, most importantly, the degree of sediment accumulation on the rocky substratum. The manipulations showed that removal of the factor (i.e. sea urchin grazing) that ostensibly facilitated replacement of native canopy-forming algae by U. pinnatifida did not realise recovery of native canopy-forming species.

T1 - A C-terminal translocation signal required for Dot/Icm-dependent delivery of the Legionella RalF protein to host cells
AN - 17860926; 6175519
AB - The Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm system is a type IV secretion apparatus that transfers bacterial proteins into eukaryotic host cells. The RalF protein is a substrate engaged and translocated into host cells by the Dot/Icm system. In this study, the mechanism of Dot/Icm-mediated translocation of RalF has been investigated. It was determined that RalF translocation into host cells occurs before bacterial internalization. Sequences essential for RalF translocation were located at the C terminus of the RalF protein. A fusion protein consisting of a 20-aa C-terminal RalF peptide appended to the calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase domain of the Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase protein was translocated into host cells by the Dot/Icm system. A leucine (L372) residue at the -3 position in relation to the RalF C terminus was critical for translocation. Consistent with RalF L372 playing an important role in substrate recognition by the Dot/Icm system, most other Dot/Icm substrates were found to have amino acid residues with similar physical properties at their -3 or -4 C- terminal positions. These data demonstrate that the Dot/Icm system can transfer bacterial proteins that modulate host cellular functions before uptake and indicate that substrate recognition involves a C-terminal translocation signal. Thus, Legionella has the ability to engage synthesized substrate proteins and transfer them into host cells on contact, enabling Legionella to rapidly alter transport of the vacuole in which it resides.

T1 - Cancer prevention: a global perspective.
AN - 67349291; 15637401
AB - This review will be restricted to measures aimed at primary prevention of cancer; reduction of the death rate through screening will not be covered. In many instances, cancer prevention is just one outcome of the benefits of good health practices, which may also benefit cardiovascular, lung, infectious, and metabolic diseases. Thus, reducing tobacco smoking will bring benefits in heart disease, neonatal and maternal health, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease as well as a variety of cancers, while dietary advice appropriate to cancer risk reduction will bring benefits in diabetes, stroke, kidney, and heart disease.

T1 - Endangered Species: Difficult Choices
AN - 14735661; 10675640
AB - Various proposals to amend the 1973 Endangered Species Act were considered in the 108th Congress. Two bills were reported that would have, respectively, addressed issues concerning scientific peer review and critical habitat. An energy and water appropriations bill prohibited use of FY2004 or earlier to funds to reduce water deliveries under existing contracts for Act compliance for the silvery minnow on the Middle Rio Grande River unless water is obtained from a willing seller or lessor. The Healthy Forests Act authorized hazardous fuels reduction projects on USBLM lands, including those containing listed species habitat.

AN - 14735900; 10675641
AB - Bills directly addressing climate change issues introduced in the 108th Congress ranged from those focused primarily on climate change research to comprehensive emissions cap and trading programs for all six greenhouse gases. Additional bills focused on greenhouse gas reporting and registries, or on power plant emissions of carbon dioxide. Two of these bills would have directed research on historical instances of climate change to develop climate change models. Some bills would have emphasized research on political and technological options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

AB - The 109th Congress is expected to consider numerous water resource bills, including appropriations for the USBR and USACE for FY2006 and FY2007, various agency policy and program changes, and a Water Resources Development Act. Broader issues likely to be addressed encompass the future role of traditional water resource agencies in an era of changing public demands, declining budgets, and integrated environmental resource management. The potential need or desire for a National Water Commission or periodic assessments of national water resources will also be covered.

AB - Major amendments to the Clean Air Act, many of which are holdovers from the 108th Congress, could be among the first items on the agenda of the 109th Congress. Specific issues concern emissions of mercury and other pollutants from coal-fired power plants, whether to prohibit use of the gasoline additive methyl tert butyl ether, and how to insure the conformity of local plans for transportation and clean air. A common theme among these topics concerns questions about the role of federal vs. state governments and the appropriateness of economic vs. regulatory approaches.

T1 - Problems with Primes
AN - 870283059; EJ922149
AB - This article discusses prime numbers, defined as integers greater than 1 that are divisible only by only themselves and the number 1. A positive integer greater than 1 that is not a prime is called composite. The number 1 itself is considered neither prime nor composite. As the name suggests, prime numbers are one of the most basic but important propositions in all of mathematics. Primes, once associated exclusively with pure mathematics, have recently found an unexpected application in the areas of national security, and in particular public-key cryptography. This uses the principle that it is very difficult to find the factors of a given product of two very large primes. The authors focus on the historical facts and the contributions of several mathematicians in distinguishing the most intriguing aspects of prime numbers.

T1 - A sustainable approach towards rural development: dry toilets in Nepal.
AN - 70139215; 16477967
AB - Existing inadequate sewerage systems and direct disposal of household waste into water courses has tremendously increased water pollution. Dry toilets are feasible in rural and peri-urban areas to reduce the consumption of costlier water that is required for flushing. As conventional treatment technologies require high investment, and operation and maintenance costs, dry toilets are the only suitable option left for sanitation in the 21st century when working with limited financial resources. To reduce environmental degradation and overcome this problem, the dry toilet is only the realistic option in Nepal. Two reactors, one exposed to sunrays and the other without sunrays, were constructed. In the model with sunrays, it was found that in 48 days of observation faecal coliform presence depleted to 610 cells per gm from the initial value of 7 x 10(10) and volatile organic matter came down from 98.09% to 70.18%. Similarly, in the other model, the destruction of faecal coliform in 65 days was found to be 920 cells/gm while the destruction of organic matter took 75 days. Also, observing from 313 people in a cluster on the pilot project, the annually recovered value of N, P and K was found to be 1565 kg, 125 kg, 344 kg, respectively. This paper deals with the different types of dry ecological toilet, their performance and feasibility study in Nepal, with the full involvement of local people, based on complete laboratory analysis and regular monitoring. Using dry toilets will save 14 LPCD, which is equivalent to 14 MLD and the resulting demand will become only 80 MLD for the urban area of Kathmandu. The result advocates the implementation of ecological dry toilets to save valuable water wasted in flushing, as well as saving the resources needed to treat the waste.

T1 - Mitochondrial toxicity of nucleoside analogues: mechanism, monitoring and management.
AN - 68877809; 16334706
AB - Nucleoside analogues (NRTIs) are potent antiretroviral medications and are central to effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Their intended action is to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase. Nucleoside analogues also inhibit replication of mitochondrial DNA, and the pathogenesis of many of the toxicities associated with HAART is thought to be NRTI-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Individuals with HIV infection may be particularly susceptible to clinically significant mitochondrial toxicity due to possible effects of HIV itself on mitochondria. At present there is no reliable method of detecting subclinical mitochondrial toxicity in patients exposed to NRTIs. Clinical awareness of this problem is therefore important to ensure the early detection of significant side effects and to allow timely consideration of changing therapy in those affected. There is no proven, effective therapy for NRTI-associated mitochondrial toxicity other than ceasing the implicated agent, and even with this strategy, resolution of symptoms may be incomplete. Similarly, there are no established methods for preventing mitochondrial toxicity in those on therapy including NRTIs. Micronutrients may have a role, but further study is needed to clarify optimal prevention as well as monitoring strategies.

T1 - A rapid situation assessment of drug use in Papua New Guinea.
AN - 68637135; 16191725
AB - Papua New Guinea (PNG) is an Asia Pacific country that we hear little about in the drug and alcohol area. Recently at the APEC meeting in Chile, the Australian Prime Minister, Mr John Howard, announced that PNG would be one of the countries of focus with regards to public health programs and HIV AIDS assistance by Australia in the future. This is a timely report of a rapid situation assessment (RSA) of drug use and drug-related harm in Papua New Guinea (PNG) conducted in 1998-1999, with comments on developments since that time. The author of this paper, David McDonald, was appointed as the international consultant to work with the PNG National Narcotics Bureau to undertake an assessment of drug use in PNG, and is well-equipped to report on the drug and alcohol situation in that country. The rapid assessment study was conducted to provide up-to-date, factual information about drugs in PNG that could contribute to the development of a national drug strategy for PNG. The focus was on illegal drugs in accordance with the mandates of the auspicing bodies--namely cannabis and home-brewed alcohol. In keeping with the methodology for rapid assessment, the author utilised multiple information sources including published literature, administrative by-product data, case studies, a key informants' study and structured interviews with drug users. It was found that alcohol--both licit and home brew, as well as high potency cannabis, were the major substance problems in PNG. This paper, based on a more detailed report available through the author, provides a snap-shot of substance use problems in PNG. However, the author reports that problems in public sector management within and external to the sponsoring agency, the National Narcotics Bureau, have meant that the proposed national drug control strategy has not yet been developed.

T1 - Performance of a pilot-scale high rate algal pond system treating abattoir wastewater in rural South Australia: nitrification and denitrification.
AN - 68504940; 16114673
AB - As part of a study examining the efficacy of high-rate algal pond treatment of high-strength abattoir wastewater, the impact of pond configuration and loading rate on nitrification was determined. The extent of nitrification in all ponds was consistent with mass balance estimates of oxygen demand and availability. Deeper ponds were more stable nitrifying systems, with shallow ponds displaying greater variation in response to changes in nitrogen loading. In a separate experiment the pond system was modified by covering a part of an in-series HRAP to exclude light, providing conditions suitable for denitrification. Specific denitrification rates were often within the range typical for endogenous carbon sources, with mass balance calculations indicating removals of up to 95%.

T1 - Changes in waste stabilisation pond performance resulting from the retrofit of activated sludge treatment upstream: part I--water quality issues.
AN - 68504304; 16114658
AB - This paper describes changes in effluent quality occurring before and after an upgrade to the Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant in South Australia. Trickling filters (TF) were replaced with an activated sludge (AS) plant, prior to tertiary treatment using waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs). The water quality in the WSPs following the upgrade was significantly improved. Reductions in total and soluble BOD, COD, TKN, suspended solids and organic nitrogen were recorded and the predominant form of inorganic nitrogen changed from NH(4)-N to NO(2)/NO(3)-N. The reduction in ammonium and potentially toxic free ammonia removed a control upon the growth of zooplankton, which may have contributed to decreases in algal biomass in the final ponds and consequently lower dissolved oxygen. Additionally, changes in inorganic nitrogen speciation contributed to a slightly elevated pH which reduced numbers of faecal coliforms in WSPs. The AS pretreated influent recorded significantly lower inorganic molar N:P ratio (10-4:1) compared to those fed with TF effluent (17-13:1). Algae within the WSPs may now be nitrogen limited, a condition which may favour the growth of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. The decrease in algal biomass and in dissolved oxygen levels may enhance sedimentary denitrification, further driving the system towards nitrogen limitation.

T1 - Sourcing faecal pollution from onsite wastewater treatment systems in surface waters using antibiotic resistance analysis.
AN - 68496332; 16108788
AB - To identify the sources of faecal contamination in investigated surface waters and to determine the significance of onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) as a major contributor to faecal contamination.
Antibiotic resistance patterns (ARP) were established for a library of 717 known Escherichia coli source isolates obtained from human, domesticated animals, livestock and wild sources. Eight commonly used antibiotics, including amoxicillin, cephalothin, erythromycin, gentamicin, ofloxacin, chlortetracycline, tetracycline and moxalactam, at four different concentrations were used to obtain ARPs for E. coli isolates. Discriminant analysis (DA) was used to differentiate between the ARP of sources isolates. The developed ARP library was found to be adequate for discriminating human from nonhuman isolates, and was used to classify 256 enumerated E. coli isolates collected from monitored surface water locations. The resulting ARP DA indicated that a majority of the faecal contamination in more rural areas was nonhuman; however, the percentage of human isolates increased significantly in urbanized areas using OWTS for wastewater treatment.
This study signifies the feasibility of using ARP for source tracking faecal contamination in surface waters, and linking faecal contamination to OWTS. The information will enable regulatory authorities to implement appropriate management practices to reduce the contamination of water resources caused by high densities and failing OWTS.

T1 - Organic carbon deliveries and their flow related dynamics in the Fitzroy estuary.
AN - 67504034; 15757714
AB - The Fitzroy estuary (Queensland, Australia) receives large, but highly episodic, river flows from a catchment (144,000 km(2)) which has undergone major land clearing. Large quantities of suspended sediments, and particulate and dissolved organic carbon are delivered. At peak flows, delta(13)C (-21.7+/-0.8 per thousand) and C/N (14.8+/-1.3) of the suspended solids indicate that the particulate organic material entering the estuary is principally soil organic carbon. At the lower beginning flows the particulate organic matter comes from in-stream producers (delta(13)C=-26 per thousand). The DOC load is about 10 times the POC load. Using the inverse method, budgets for POC and DOC were constructed for high and low flows. Under high flows, only a small portion of the POC and DOC load is lost in the estuary. Under dry season (low flow) conditions the estuary is a sink for DOC, but remains a source of POC to the coastal waters.

AN - 62083014; EJ743572
AB - This article presents a brief biography of Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. Gauss was born on April 30, 1777, in the German city of Braunschweig (Brunswick). He was the only child of Gebhard Dietrich Gauss and Dorothea Benze. Neither of Gauss's parents had much education, his father could read and write, but earned his living doing menial jobs such as gardening and as a street butcher; his mother could read but not write. While still a teenager, Gauss propounded the theory of least squares, demonstrated a solution to the age-old problem of dividing a circle into 17 parts, and made important mathematical discoveries which he was too shy to publish, and entrusted only to his diary.

T1 - A Constructivist Lesson to Introduce Arithmetic Sequences with Patterns
AN - 62082456; EJ743576
AB - Pattern recognition is a critical component of success in mathematics. Students at all levels should be provided with opportunities to investigate and uncover patterns throughout their mathematical careers. Further, they should be allowed to explore situations in which pattern recognition plays a vital role in the construction of important mathematical knowledge. This article will discuss a lesson that introduces arithmetic sequences through a simple, yet rich exploration of a pattern. This lesson has been taught in a methods course for secondary mathematics teachers to provide them with a model of a constructivist lesson that they will be able to implement in their own classrooms when they begin teaching. It is, also, beneficial to this group as it affords them an opportunity to participate in a cooperative learning activity that lends itself to a wide variety of solution methods.

T1 - Mathematical Fiction: Its Place in Secondary-School Mathematics Learning
AN - 62081794; EJ743574
AB - This article contains a small selection of mathematical fiction chosen with the teaching of mathematics in secondary school in mind. However, an attempt is made to classify the works and provide a few ideas about how these items may be used by mathematics teachers, sometimes, but not necessarily, in collaboration with science and humanities teachers, to introduce, teach and supplement mathematics learning (for example, in the discussion of mathematical applications) in secondary schools. This paper emphasizes how mathematical fiction may stimulate the interest of reluctant mathematics learners, reinforce the motivation of the student who is already intrigued by mathematics, introduce topics, supply interesting applications, and provide mathematical ideas in a literary and at times, highly visual context. Furthermore, with thoughtful selection and careful teaching, this body of creative writing can also help explain mathematics topics to students. (Contains 5 figures.)

T1 - Technology-Supported Mathematics Environments: Telecollaboration in a Secondary Statistics Classroom
AN - 62081767; EJ743579
AB - The Internet, an exciting and radically different medium infiltrating pop culture, business, and education, is also a powerful educational tool with teaching and learning potential for mathematics. Web-based instructional tools allow students and teachers to actively and interactively participate in the learning process (Lynch, Moyer, Frye & Suh, 2002). The ways teachers use these tools can have a profound effect on the teaching and learning of mathematics. Telecollaboration has the potential to create authentic contexts and problem-solving environments for students, ultimately providing students with opportunities to apply their mathematics skills in a real-world context outside of the classroom. This article describes how one teacher used a telecollaboration project in his high school statistics course. It demonstrates how effective technology use can enhance students' learning of challenging mathematics content.

T1 - Fostering Multiplicative Thinking Using Array-Based Materials
AN - 62081217; EJ743571
AB - If the goal is to promote mathematical thinking and help children become flexible problem solvers, then it is important to show students multiple representations of a problem. Because it is important to help students develop both counting-based and collections-based conceptions of number, teachers should be showing students both number line (counting-based) and array (collections-based) models of multiplication. Arrays allow students to develop a deeper and more flexible understanding of multiplication/division, and to fully appreciate the two-dimensionality of the multiplicative process. Because the grids presented in this paper are structured to show the ten-based structure of the number system, and enable various different partitioning possibilities to be shown using different colouring/shading, they provide a basis for students to image or visualise multiplicative processes. Arrays have enormous potential at the senior primary and secondary school levels to help strengthen students' multiplicative thinking. The multi-coloured/shaded grids described provide a practical means of doing this. (Contains 2 figures.)

T1 - Using Assessment to Inform Instructional Decisions: How Hard Can It Be?
AN - 62004862; EJ747912
AB - In this article, two problems associated with the expectation that teachers use contemporary assessment techniques are examined. The first problem relates to teachers' sense-making of assessment data. Illustrative cases revealed that teachers' processes of interpretation of students' understanding, knowledge and learning of mathematics draws on a rich knowledge base of understandings, beliefs, and attitudes. Consequently, the process of sense-making of students' mathematical understandings involves ambiguity and difficulty. The second problem relates to ways of helping teachers adopt contemporary assessment approaches. A professional development activity served as the example examined. Three aspects of what the course instructor promoted with respect to contemporary assessment were analysed: (1) the assessment methods and tools advocated in the course, (2) the degree to which the integration of assessment with instruction was promoted, and (3) the purposes for assessment highlighted in the course. It appeared that attention was paid to the use of contemporary assessment tools, but this was associated with traditional assessment purposes. Learning to use the new assessment tool did, however, influence instruction and fostered greater integration of assessment and instruction than before--a characteristic of contemporary assessment.

T1 - Head Start: Ensuring Dollars Benefit the Children. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Education and Early Childhood Development of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, United States Senate, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session (April 5, 2005). Senate Hearing 109-119
AN - 62000578; ED496030
AB - In his opening statement, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN), chairman, Subcommittee on Education and Early Childhood Development, stated that one responsibility of Congress is to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent for the purposes intended and for the children intended. Between January 2003 and the first months of this year, there were numerous accounts from communities across the country of serious financial abuses or irregularities by individuals or entities entrusted with Head Start dollars. That is why the House and Senate Education Committee leaders asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to look into allegations of financial abuse and irregularities by the local agencies or individuals entrusted with Head Start funds. The purpose of this hearing was to consider the findings of the GAO report as well as its recommendations for how the Department of Health and Human Services can do a better job of overseeing the spending of Head Start money. Among those testifying were witnesses, representatives of the writers of the GAO report and of the Federal managers of the Head Start money as well as representatives from the community agencies that actually administer and use the Head Start money. Testifying before the Subcommittee were: Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Chairman, Subcommittee on Education and Early Childhood Development; Michael B. Enzi, Chairman, Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions; Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA); Wade Horn, Assistant Secretary for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Marnie S. Shaul, Director, Education, Workforce, and Income Security Issues, U.S. Government Accountability Office; Christopher Dodd (D-CT); Jim Caccamo, Director, Metropolitan Council on Early Learning, Kansas City, MO; A.C. Wharton, Mayor, Shelby County, TN; Yvonne Gates, Director for Marketing and Community Relations, Center for Academic Enrichment and Outreach, Clark County, NV; Olivia A. Golden, Senior Fellow, Urban Institute; and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY). Additional material (statements, articles, publications, letters, etc.) were submitted by: Wade F. Horn (in response to questions of Senator Enzi); Wade F. Horn (in response to questions of Senator Ensign); Government Accountability Office (in response to questions of Senator Alexander); Mayor A.C. Wharton (in response to question of Senator Alexander); and Olivia A. Golden (in response to questions of Senator Enzi). (Contains 4 figures.)

AN - 62000535; EJ747872
AB - Recognition of the importance of the early childhood years in the development of numeracy is a significant characteristic of the New Zealand Numeracy Development Project, the Victorian Early Numeracy Research Project and the Count Me In Too program in New South Wales, Australia. This article outlines the background, key components and major impacts of these three innovative and successful professional development and research initiatives. Juxtaposing the three projects highlights important commonalities--research-based frameworks, diagnostic interviews, and whole-school approaches to professional development. Each program has been significant in rethinking what mathematics and how mathematics is taught to young children. (Contains 2 tables and 4 figures.)

T1 - Problems with the E-Rate Program: GAO Review of FCC Management and Oversight. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred and Ninth Congress, First Session (March 16, 2005). Serial Number 109-7
AN - 62000526; ED496039
AB - The purpose of this hearing was to examine the Federal Communications Commission's management and oversight of the E-Rate program. This subcommittee has done much to expose for Congress a range of problems in the E-Rate program management--problems that raise questions about the program's effectiveness and whether the Nation's taxpayers can be assured their tax dollar has been used efficiently. During the past session of Congress, this subcommittee conducted an extensive investigation of the E-Rate program. Through this work, which was highlighted in three informative hearings last summer and fall, the Subcommittee identified a number of expensive failures in the program. The Subcommittee spotlight exposed tens of millions of dollars in wasted E-Rate spending. Ceiling-high pallets of useless wireless equipment, sitting shrink-wrapped in a warehouse was seen, and it was learned that the beneficiaries of that equipment, Puerto Rican schoolchildren, had been deprived of any real benefit of E-Rate, despite the program sending more than $100 million to Puerto Rico's schools. Wasted opportunities were discovered in Texas where, for instance, the El Paso Independent School District was convinced by an E-Rate vendor--IBM in that situation--that it could use $60 million in E-Rate funds for a single school year for about 50 schools. Twenty- four million dollars of this was spent on an operation meant just to maintain the network. That district soon found itself over its head in technology as it watched millions of dollars of planning and preparation, including the entire maintenance operation, simply disappear when funds dried up after authorities discovered it had participated in an anti-competitive process. The district struggles to this day to get its E-Rate program back in order. In December 2003, as part of its E-Rate investigation, the committee requested the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, to look at FCC management and oversight of the program. GAO's findings and recommendations formed the centerpiece of this hearing. This hearing heard from one panel of witnesses: Mark Goldstein, Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues for GAO; Jeffrey Carlisle, who is Chief of the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau, which oversees the E-Rate program. Tom Bennett, FCC's Assistant Inspector General for Universal Service Fund Oversight, spoke to the IG's perspective on program weaknesses and also to efforts to identity waste, fraud, and abuse in the program. Additional material was also presented for the record.

T1 - Cognition and Instruction: Reasoning about Bias in Sampling
AN - 62000491; EJ747880
AB - Although sampling has been mentioned as part of the chance and data component of the mathematics curriculum since about 1990, little research attention has been aimed specifically at school students' understanding of this descriptive area. This study considers the initial understanding of bias in sampling by 639 students in grades 3, 5, 7, and 9. Three hundred and forty-one of these students then undertook a series of lessons on chance and data with an emphasis on chance, data handling, sampling, and variation. A post-test was administered to 285 of these students and two years later all available students from the original group (328) were again tested. This study considers the initial level of understanding of students, the nature of the lessons undertaken at each grade level, the post-instruction performance of those who undertook lessons, and the longitudinal performance after two years of all available students. Overall instruction was associated with improved performance, which was retained over two years but there was little difference between those who had or had not experienced instruction. Results for specific grades, some of which went against the overall trend are discussed, as well as educational implications for the teaching of sampling across the years of schooling based on the classroom observations and the changes observed.

T1 - The Beliefs/Practice Connection in Broadly Defined Contexts
AN - 62000441; EJ747907
AB - The findings of a study that examined the connection between the beliefs of secondary mathematics teachers and their classroom practices are reported in this article. Classroom practice was defined in terms of the extent to which classroom environments could be characterised as constructivist. Cluster analysis was used to group teachers according to their responses to a beliefs instrument and to group their classes according to their average responses to a classroom environment survey. Associations between the two sets of clusters were found, suggesting some consistency between broad relatively decontextualised teacher beliefs and student perceptions considered at the whole class level.

T1 - The Calculus of Differences: Effects of a Psychosocial, Cultural, and Pedagogical Intervention in an All Women's University Calculus Class
AN - 62000391; EJ747911
AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the ways in which a multi-layered women's calculus course influenced the participants' learning of mathematics. This study, conducted in a state university in the Midwestern region of the United States, revealed not only that women in this particular section of calculus were likely to select careers that involved mathematics, but that the focus on peer support, psychosocial issues such as self-confidence, and pedagogy helped the young women overcome gender barriers, as well as barriers of class, poverty, and race. In this article we provide some of the relevant quantitative statistics and relate the stories of two particular women through excerpts from interviews, student artefacts, and participant observation data. We selected these young women because they faced multiple barriers to success in Calculus I and might not have completed the course or taken additional mathematics courses without the support structures that were fundamental to the course.

AB - In this article results from an examination of beliefs about teaching and learning primary mathematics are reported. Commencing and graduating pre-service teachers completed written surveys and interviews. Common to many pre-service teachers were memories of mathematics lessons with teacher demonstrations, completing set exercises, using mathematical equipment, and playing competitive number-based games. Various factors influenced their beliefs including: having theory linked to practical examples, reflecting on more recent experience of teaching and learning contexts, and listening to experiences shared by friends and family members who teach.

T1 - Primary Preservice Teachers' Understandings of Volume: The Impact of Course and Practicum Experiences
AN - 61996777; EJ747878
AB - Mathematics teacher education programs are designed with an intention, explicit or implicit, to produce graduates who are competent in both pedagogic knowledge and discipline knowledge. This paper explores students' experiences in coming to learn mathematics and mathematics education. Using an example from a quiz question, supplemented with follow-up interviews with students, the paper raises questions as to the effectiveness of programs that adopt traditional approaches to the teaching of mathematics. It is shown how a functionalist perspective was adopted by many of the preservice teachers, which engendered a reproductive approach to teaching. The data raised concerns about preservice teachers' knowledge of volume, their pedagogic knowledge, and the role of the practicum on their learning. (Contains 1 table and 2 footnotes.)

T1 - Students' Attitudes to Mathematics and Performance in Limits of Functions
AN - 61996729; EJ747909
AB - The main aim of this article is to discuss the attitudes to mathematics of students taking a basic mathematics course at a Swedish university, and to explore possible links between how well such students manage to solve tasks about limits of functions and their attitudes. Two groups, each of about a hundred students, were investigated using questionnaires, field notes and interviews. From the results presented a connection can be inferred between students' attitudes to mathematics and their ability to solve limit tasks. Students with positive attitudes perform better in solving limit problems. The educational implications of these findings are also discussed. (Contains 5 tables.)

T1 - Mathematical Modelling in the Early School Years
AN - 61994723; EJ747873
AB - In this article we explore young children's development of mathematical knowledge and reasoning processes as they worked two modelling problems (the "Butter Beans Problem" and the "Airplane Problem"). The problems involve authentic situations that need to be interpreted and described in mathematical ways. Both problems include tables of data, together with background information containing specific criteria to be considered in the solution process. Four classes of 3rd-graders (8 years of age) and their teachers participated in the 6-month program, which included preparatory modelling activities along with professional development for the teachers. In discussing our findings we address: (a) Ways in which the children applied their informal, personal knowledge to the problems; (b) How the children interpreted the tables of data, including difficulties they experienced; (c) How the children operated on the data, including aggregating and comparing data, and looking for trends and patterns; (d) How the children developed important mathematical ideas; and (e) Ways in which the children represented their mathematical understandings. An article, including reflection questions, from The Stoney Creek Times is appended. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)

T1 - A Study of Kindergarten Children's Spatial Representation in a Mapping Project
AN - 61994668; EJ747905
AB - This phenomenological study examined kindergarten children's development of spatial representation in a year long mapping project. Findings and discussion relative to how children conceptualised and represented physical space are presented in light of theoretical notions advanced by Piaget, van Hiele, and cognitive science researchers Battista and Clements. Analyses of the processes the children used and their finished products indicate that children can negotiate meaning for complex systems of geometric concepts when given opportunities to debate, negotiate, reflect, evaluate and seek meaning for representing space. The complexity and "holistic" nature of spatial representation of young children emerged in this study. (Contains 4 tables and 4 figures.)

T1 - A Typology of Mathematics Teachers' Beliefs about Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Instructional Practices
AN - 61994619; EJ747908
AB - The primary purposes of the study reported here were to investigate Greek mathematics teachers' beliefs regarding the nature of mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning, and to explore the various links between these beliefs and instructional practice. Two orientations that are characteristic of secondary mathematics teachers' beliefs were identified: A contemporary--constructivist orientation, and a traditional--transmission--information processing orientation. A case study of a veteran teacher demonstrated that classrooms can be complex sites of political, historical, social and cultural influences, and that the teacher's beliefs about mathematics learning and teaching were less traditional than her actual teaching practice.

T1 - Supporting Multiple Literacies: Parents' and Children's Mathematical Talk within Storybook Reading
AN - 61993731; EJ747871
AB - The purpose of this study was to explore how parents and their young children attended to mathematical concepts as they engaged in shared book reading. Thirty-nine parents and their 4-year-old children from a culturally diverse metropolitan area were videotaped as they read "Mr. McMouse" (Lionni, 1992) and "Swimmy" (Lionni, 1963). Shared reading episodes were transcribed in their entirety and the data were coded according to a scheme developed by the authors (Anderson, Anderson, & Shapiro, 2004). All families except one engaged in mathematical talk although there was considerable diversity in terms of the amount of talk and the ways in which mathematical concepts were shared. The concept of size arose most frequently, next was different aspects of number, while shape occurred relatively infrequently. Results suggest that shared book reading holds considerable potential for parents to draw attention to mathematical vocabulary and concepts. (Contains 1 table and 2 appendices.)

T1 - Early Childhood Numeracy in a Multiage Setting
AN - 61990514; EJ747875
AB - This research is a case study examining numeracy teaching and learning practices in an early childhood multiage setting with Pre-Primary to Year 2 children. Data were collected via running records, researcher reflection notes, and video and audio recordings. Video and audio transcripts were analysed using a mathematical discourse and social interactions coding system designed by MacMillan (1998), while the running records and reflection notes contributed to descriptions of the children's interactions with each other and with the teachers. Teachers used an "assisted performance" approach to instruction that supported problem solving and inquiry processes in mathematics activities, and this, combined with a child-centred pedagogy and specific values about community learning, created a learning environment designed to stimulate and foster learning. The mathematics discourse analysis showed a use of explanatory language in mathematics discourse, and this language supported scaffolding among children for new mathematics concepts. These and other interactions related to peer sharing, tutoring and regulation also emerged as key aspects of students' learning practices. However, the findings indicated that multiage grouping alone did not support learning. Rather, effective learning was dependent upon the teacher's capacities to develop productive discussion among children, as well as implement developmentally appropriate curricula that addressed the needs of the different children.

T1 - The Influence of Second Language Teaching on Undergraduate Mathematics Performance
AN - 61990461; EJ747910
AB - Understanding abstract concepts and ideas in mathematics, if instruction takes place in the first language of the student, is difficult. Yet worldwide students often have to master mathematics via a second or third language. The majority of students in South Africa--a country with eleven official languages--has to face this difficulty. In a quantitative study of first year calculus students, we investigated two groups of students. For one group tuition took place in their home language; for the second group, tuition was in English, a second or even a third language. Performance data on their secondary mathematics and first year tertiary calculus were analysed. The study showed that there was no significant difference between the adjusted means of the entire group of first language learners and the entire group of second language learners. Neither was there any statistically significant difference between the performances of the two groups of second language learners (based on the adjusted means). Yet, there did seem to be a significant difference between the achievement of Afrikaans students attending Afrikaans lectures and Afrikaans students attending English lectures. (Contains 9 tables.)

T1 - Developing Formal Mathematical Assessment for 4- to 8-Year-Olds
AN - 61990245; EJ747876
AB - The assessment of children in their years before school and their first years of school has been, traditionally, informal. Further, assessment of children's mathematical skills at this level has been infrequent compared to social, emotional and physical assessments. However, there are contexts where reliable, valid, standardised data from assessment in mathematics are required. This paper outlines the development of two assessment tools for mathematics that were originally developed for such contexts. Item Response Theory (IRT) analyses enabled the construction of assessment forms that address the range of abilities of 4- to 8-year-old children, and provided the scales used for constructing formative and summative reports of achievement. A description of the development of the assessment tools and the IRT analysis that provides the reporting formats are presented together with some research uses of the tools. (Contains 7 figures and 2 tables.)

T1 - Young Children's Ability to Use the Balance Strategy to Solve for Unknowns
AN - 61990197; EJ747882
AB - This article examines students' ability to use the balance model to solve for unknowns. A teaching experiment was conducted in four Year 3 classrooms. This experiment focused on exploring the application of the balance model as an analogue for representing equations and solving for unknowns. The teaching experiment promoted a shift by students towards viewing addition and subtraction equations in terms of equivalence, where the situation is viewed in a multi-directional way (i.e., balance). Initially the lessons were trialed by the researchers in two classrooms. The lessons were then implemented in a further two classrooms by two classroom teachers in conjunction with the researchers. Two weeks after the conclusion of the teaching experiment, a one-on-one interview was conducted with a random sample comprising twenty students with an average age of eight years. The interviews indicated that while the balance model did assist students reach solutions for finding unknowns, for some students further explicit teaching was required.

T1 - Students' Understanding of Trigonometric Functions
AN - 61990126; EJ747914
AB - In this article students' understanding of trigonometric functions in the context of two college trigonometry courses is investigated. The first course was taught by a professor unaffiliated with the study in a lecture-based course, while the second was taught using an experimental instruction paradigm based on Gray and Tall's (1994) notion of procept and current process-object theories of learning. Via interviews and a paper-and-pencil test, I examined students' understanding of trigonometric functions for both classes. The results indicate that the students who were taught in the lecture-based course developed a very limited understanding of these functions. Students who received the experimental instruction developed a deep understanding of trigonometric functions. An activity to learn the process of computing sines and cosines using the unit circle is appended. (Contains 4 tables.)

Hearing before the Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness and the Subcommittee on Select Education of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session (March 17, 2005). Serial Number 109-5
AN - 61989670; ED496060
AB - This hearing represented an important opportunity for subcommittee representatives to learn about the progress in implementation of systems that exist to help monitor international students attending post-secondary institutions in the United States, as well as to understand the challenges that remain. The purpose of the hearing, in particular, was to learn more about the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) program, what its capabilities are, and what still needs to be done to ensure a smooth transition for foreign students studying in the United States. With the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the responsibility of establishing visa policy and reviewing its implementation was moved from the State Department to DHS. Within DHS, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was also restructured, and responsibility for SEVIS was moved to the new Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which works with the State Department to implement student visa policy. Wittinesses from DHS, the State Department, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) participated in the hearing. Contents of this document include: (1) Hearing Held on March 17, 2005; (2) Statement of Members; and (3) Statement of Wittinesses.

AN - 61988893; ED496037
AB - The purpose of this field hearing was for the members of the Subcommittee on Select Education of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, to learn more about a variety of programs authorized and funded by Title VI. Continued Federal support for these programs reflects the significance and growing relevance of language and area studies, diplomacy, national security, and business competitiveness. International studies are a national priority and institutions of higher learning and higher education must be encouraged to be more responsive to this reality today. The reauthorization of Title VI presented the immediate opportunity to set an agenda for these programs as a strategic necessity that would appeal to congressional interest and congressional support. The Federal investment in these programs is significant which is why this Subcommittee needed to ensure that the programs are fulfilling the purpose for which they were originally created. Statements were offered by Subcommittee members: Honorable Ruben Hinojosa, Ranking Member; and Honorable Patrick J. Tiberi, Chairman, Subcommittee on Select Education, Committee on Education and the Workforce. Other statements were provided by: Dr. Stephen M. Hills, Academic Director, Office of International Programs, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio; Dr. Jerry R.

T1 - Declaration of Education: Toward a Culture of Achievement in D.C. Public Schools. Hearing before the Committee on Government Reform, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session (May 20, 2005) Serial No. 109-30
AN - 61986322; ED496027
AB - In this hearing on the District of Columbia's public school system (DCPS), the Honorable Tom Davis, chairman of the Committee on Government Reform, says in his opening statement that the District's improved health cannot be sustained without a better public school system, and that the lack of performance improvement threatens future growth and stability. The arrival of Superintendent Clifford Janey offers an opportunity to begin anew. Dr. Janey has recently unveiled an ambitious plan, a declaration of education, aimed at raising academic achievement in every classroom, in every school. Dr. Janey was invited to the hearing so that the Committee may learn more about his vision and seek his guidance. Davis states that almost half of all D.C. public schools have been classified as being in need of improvement under requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act and lists statistics related to the average District's Scholastic Achievement Test score compared to the national average, dropout and truancy rates, poor record-keeping and personnel problems, and the challenges of crime, dilapidated buildings, and ongoing labor negotiations. However, the number of D.C. high school graduates continuing on to college increased 28 percent between 1998 and 2003, due in large part to the D.C. TAG program, which levels the playing field for D.C. high school graduates by allowing them to attend State colleges and universities at in-state rates. The Hearing includes statements by: Robert C. Bobb, Deputy Mayor/city administrator, government of the District of Columbia; Kathleen Patterson, chairperson, Committee on Education, Libraries, and Recreation, Council of the District of Columbia; Clifford B. Janey, superintendent, District of Columbia public schools; Charles Ramsey, chief of police, Metropolitan Police Department; Brenda Donald Walker, director, Child and Family Services Agency; Jason Kamras, national Teacher of the Year; Iris Toyer, chair, Parents United for the District of Columbia Schools; Carolyn Dallas, executive director, Youth Court; Honorable Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Representative in Congress from the District of Columbia; and George Parker, president, Washington's Teachers Union.

T1 - Roundtable Discussion: Meeting the Highly Qualified Teacher Criteria for Special Education Teachers. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Education and Early Childhood Development of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, United States Senate, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session (April 27, 2005) S. Hrg. 109-78
AN - 61986272; ED496058
AB - The purpose of this countable was to discuss the requirements of No Child Left Behind that about 200,000 teachers--special education teachers who teach children in special education classes or who are severely disabled and who teach multiple subjects in middle school and in high school--be "highly qualified," and what exactly that means. In his opening statement, Honorable Lamar Alexander stated that one witness, himself a teacher, posed three questions that seemed to best represent the point of the hearing: (1) What exactly do I have to do by the end of the next school year to demonstrate that I am highly qualified using the House option? (2) Will I have sufficient time to meet the requirements? and (3) What will the consequences be to me if I do not prove myself to be highly qualified? This roundtable set out to determine whether Congress has created barriers for special education teachers and to learn what Congress can do to achieve the objectives set out in the No Child Left Behind and the IDEA legislation. Testimony was presented by: Lamar Alexander (R-TN); Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA); Jeff Sessions (R-AL); John H. Hagar, Assistant Secretary, Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department of Education; Accompanied by Carolyn Snowbarger, Director, Teacher-To-Teacher Initiative, and Special Assistant for Teacher Quality, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education; Rene Islas, Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education; Jeffrey Langham, Superintendent of Education, Elmore County School System, Wetumpka, Alabama; James McLeskey, Professor and Chair, Department of Special Education, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida; Carol Ann Baglin, Assistant State Superintendent, Division of Special Education/Early Intervention Services, Maryland State Department of Education, Baltimore, Maryland; William Connolly, Teacher, Quirk Middle School, Hartford, Connecticut; Lana C. Seivers, Commissioner of Education, Tennessee; and Mary Senne, Parent and Disability Community Advocate, Orlando, Florida.

T1 - Number Crunching: A Sheep's Tale
AN - 61930996; EJ794001
AB - In this article, the author talks about an allegorical tale which he has written as a message for teachers of mathematics. The story is about Gordon, who led a flock of small sheep. Gordon was a mathematics genius; however, his flock criticized his teaching of numbers and his boring lectures. His furry-god-farmer advised him to share his mathematics in a way that the other sheep will like--to teach them in ways they wouldl find practical and fun. There is no point in sharing the old theories if they use words and ideas that today's sheep will find irrelevant. This story was written to convey irrelevancy, the most significant characteristic of the author's relationship with mathematics during his primary and secondary education. The majority of his early teachers were like Gordon, failing most of the time to make him happy about what he was doing, but getting him to a narrow pass mark at the least. The author hopes to find new and interesting ways to share mathematics with children.

Studies have shown that when most children are asked to identify shapes, in particular triangles, they identify the equilateral triangle as the "true triangle." This article provides an overview of background theory and research of the geometric nature of triangles and suggests solutions for improving the understanding and experiences of elementary school students in the area of triangles and their properties in order to provide a solid conceptual and theoretical foundation for continuing mathematical understanding.

T1 - Texts as Resources, Not Programs
AN - 61928971; EJ793996
AB - Australian primary schools are mirroring international trends where textbooks become the pseudo curriculum. Some schools have adopted a publication series, and mandate its use at every year level. However, textbook-dependent mathematics programs are riddled with problems. In this article, the author argues the case against overuse of mathematics texts in classrooms. The author asserts the need for teachers, principals, and schools to challenge the textbook driven mathematics curriculum, and to reposition texts as resources, not programs.

T1 - The Legs Problem--For All Ages
AN - 61925468; EJ793999
AB - This article presents an example of a versatile multi-solution problem that can be used right across the primary years. The basic problem is: "Noah saw 16 legs go past him into the Ark. How many creatures did he see?" Any even number can be used, although, 2 legs allows only one answer and with 16 legs there are already 14 different solutions, so teachers need to exercise caution in using large numbers. The teacher should encourage discussion around the interpretation of the problem and of the range of possibilities. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1 - Googols and Infinity
AN - 61925425; EJ794000
AB - In this article, the author presents his tales of very large numbers. He discusses the concept of infinity and extremely large numbers such as "googol" and "googolplex". "Googol" which could be written as 1, followed by one hundred zeros, was popularized by Edward Kasner and James Newman. Moreover, "googol" was coined by Kasner's nine-year old nephew. Kasner's nephew also coined the term "gogoolplex", which is defined to be a 1 followed by a googol of zeros. The author also discusses the difference between infinite numbers and finite numbers.

T1 - Hot Ideas. A Mathematical Response to a Piece of Text
AN - 61925390; EJ794021
AB - Children's literature can enhance mathematics lessons by providing a meaningful context, demonstrating that mathematics develops from human experiences and contributes an aesthetic dimension to learning mathematics. Written as a series of real life inspired snapshots of mathematical thinking, "Counting on Frank" (Rod Clement, 1990) provides a valuable source of mathematical activities and problem solving tasks. The main character is constantly solving problems by considering mathematical concepts such as fractions, scale, volume, measurement, estimation, averages, and spatial awareness as they might apply in daily life: he calculates how long it would take to fill the entire bathroom with water, how much of his father would fit into the television, and how many years it would take before peas knocked off his plate every dinner time would reach the level of the dining room table. The book can be linked to various grades and strands in syllabus documents across Australia, including Data, Measurement, Number; Pattern and Algebra; Space and Geometry. The main aim of each of the activities described is for students to collect, analyze and organize information, communicate ideas and information, work with others, use mathematical ideas and techniques, and solve problems.

T1 - Teaching Children to Understand Operations in Early Childhood
AN - 61921586; EJ794022
AB - The author discusses teaching early child mathematics in an environment of unique challenge in a remote region of Western Australia. The challenges include: (1) a high proportion of transient students; (2) a student population that is forty percent aboriginal, many for whom English is a second language; (3) students who consistently perform below the general student population in numeracy assessments; (4) teachers who are experiencing professional isolation; and (5) high financial costs, time commitments, and logistical difficulties in gathering personnel at central meeting places. In such an environment, teachers use a wide range of pedagogies in their classrooms, becoming more diagnostic in their approach to teaching the operations and using successful learning experiences to initiate purposeful mathematical dialogue, arouse curiosity, challenge thinking, and actively engage students in learning. By noting specific weaknesses, listening to the kinds of questions students ask, and implementing learning experiences to address these needs, teachers become more informed about the mathematics appropriate to each student level. By targeted action, educators can introduce children to a wider range of arithmetic problems at an early stage, begin to use more mathematical language, and participate in collegial discussions across levels. As a result of being taught a wide range of problem types to which all basic operations apply, children develop flexibility in their thinking and use of numbers. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1 - Fermi Problems in Primary Mathematics Classrooms: Fostering Children's Mathematical Modelling Processes
AN - 61918214; EJ793997
AB - The difficulties that primary students experience when dealing with real-world related word problems have been discussed extensively. These difficulties are not only related to complex, non-routine problems but already occur with respect to routine problems that involve the application of a simple algorithm. Due to difficulties with the comprehension of the text and the identification of the "mathematical core" of the problem, primary students frequently engage in a rather arbitrary and random operational combination of the numbers given in the text. In doing so, they fail to acknowledge the relationship between the given data and the real-world context. While traditional word problems often do not seem to provide a suitable context for the development of mathematical modelling skills, the use of Fermi problems in the middle and upper primary mathematics classroom can help to foster students' mathematical modelling strategies. In this article, the author explains how children in some German classrooms developed problem solving processes through working on challenging open style problems. (Contains 4 figures.)

T1 - Modelling Proportional Thinking with Threes and Twos
AN - 61917745; EJ794013
AB - The authors discuss proportional reasoning as a challenging yet central concept for students in the middle grades that lays a foundation for mathematics studied later in high school. Four types of proportional reasoning problems are discussed: (1) Part-part-whole (comparing a subset (part) of a whole with its complement (other part) or the whole itself); (2) Associated sets (relating two quantities, not ordinarily associated, through a problem context or situation); (3) Well-known measures (expressing well-known entities or rates); and (4) Stretching and shrinking (scaling relationships between continuous, rather than discrete, quantities). The writers note that use of contexts relevant outside the classroom may reinforce differences and similarities and give both teachers and students something concrete to recall and contribute to understanding. Recognizing connections among mathematical topics, and specifically drawing attention to them, gives students an expectation that the ideas they learn are useful in solving other problems and exploring other concepts. The use of context also illustrates the authors' belief that quantitative literacy is essential across the curriculum to build links between mathematical concepts and their applications.

T1 - When Near Enough Is Good Enough: 8 Principles for Enhancing the Value of Measurement Estimation Experiences for Students
AN - 61915160; EJ794009
AB - Adults and children often encounter situations where they have to make judgments about "how much" or "how long" or "how many." The significance of estimation as an ordinary, everyday, and natural aspect of measurement needs to be conveyed to students through their mathematical experiences. Many students, however, tend to view estimation as a difficult technique where success is dependent upon how close the student's estimate is to the teacher's estimate rather than a useful and practical experience. Teachers and students need to realize, however, that estimation is not simply guessing, but rather an informed judgment. The ability to reliably "predict" a reasonable answer encourages reflective thinking and problem-solving behaviours, especially when two answers are disparate and the student has to decide where the error has been made. In this article, the author outlines eight principles of estimation that may assist teachers with making estimation a more purposeful and enjoyable experience for students.

T1 - Providing Female Role Models in Mathematics and Computer Science
AN - 61911548; EJ793998
AB - Girls take as many mathematics courses as boys do in high school. However, they show lower achievement in mathematics and are less likely to pursue mathematics-related fields. Women's interest and participation in computer science fields is also a concern. Moreover, women in these occupations are more likely than men to use computers for clerical and data-entry work. Researchers and educators mainly attribute females' lower performance and participation in mathematics and computer science to females' attitudes and beliefs about these fields, including their perceptions of how gender-appropriate mathematics and computer science are for them as females. Females may believe, for example, that males are naturally more mathematically and technologically inclined. One way teachers can help dispel such myths is by introducing students to historic and contemporary role models in mathematics and computer science. It is important for boys to be exposed to females in these fields, too, so that they perceive these disciplines as appropriate for females. This impacts the nature of the classroom climate in terms of how boys interact with girls, as well as ideas boys project beyond the classroom. Further, it is important that both girls and boys believe that all occupations are available to and appropriate for all people. In this article, the authors explore resources and strategies for providing positive female role models in mathematics and computer science. They share selected annotated resources that teachers may consult to infuse information about women in mathematics (and to a lesser degree, technology) into their classroom instruction.

T1 - To Build a Dog Run: The Relationship between Perimeter and Area
AN - 61909970; EJ794011
AB - Perimeter and area are important real-world concepts in their own right, and their relationship certainly is no less important. This relationship can be intuitively challenging for both children and adults. In this article, the author explores the relationship between perimeter and area with students from grades 4 to 6. The study of perimeter-area relationships using various types of shapes not only encourages important mathematical explorations, but it also lends itself well to authentic applications beyond the classroom. In the activity described here, students attempt to make sense of the perimeter-area concept through explorations with colour tiles and subsequent decisions about what dimensions they would give a rectangular dog run with a specified amount of fencing. Preparation for this activity includes helping students achieve conceptual understanding of perimeter and area, including how to find each in units or square units, and being able to provide real-world examples of their use (e.g., framing a picture or painting a wall).

T1 - Longer is Larger--Or is It?
AN - 61909921; EJ794018
AB - The author cites research from students' misconceptions of decimal notation that indicates that many students treat decimals as another whole number to the right of the decimal point. This "whole number thinking" leads some students to believe, in the context of comparing decimals, that "longer is larger" (for example, 0.45 is larger than 0.8 because 0.45 has more digits). The research discussed in this paper indicates the importance of identifying children who develop "whole number" thinking with respect to decimals and to make sure that the learning opportunities provided do not reinforce this misconception. Implications for teachers include: (1) Avoiding rules and tasks that encourage whole number thinking, such as adding zeros to compare unequal length decimals and using equal length decimals in classroom activities; (2) Encouraging use of fractional language to describe decimals; and (3) Using representations such as the "decimat" or linear arithmetic blocks (LAB) in conjunction with comparing, ordering and benchmarking tasks to provide a self checking strategy to solutions.

T1 - Developing Number Sense through Mathematical Diary Writing
AN - 61909851; EJ794020
AB - The author advocates for writing as an essential communication skill for learning mathematics. Mathematical diary writing is cited as a good way for students to privately represent their thinking through pictures, language, or symbols, and also as a channel for children to communicate with themselves and with their teachers. Cited research demonstrates that diary writing also has benefits for teaching and learning by nurturing number sense, helping teachers investigate children's understanding and feelings about lessons, and giving children a way to formulate their thinking. The author contends that children need to use their own ways to explain what they learn in class, and that mathematical diary writing promotes children's problem solving ability through explaining their ideas.

T1 - Estimating Eggs
AN - 61909111; EJ794014
AB - The authors discuss mass as one of the three fundamental measurements (the others being length and time), noting that estimation of mass is little taught and assessed in primary schools. This article briefly explores the reasons for this in terms of culture, practice, and the difficulty of assessing estimation of mass. An activity using the differences between a set of nested eggs is outlined. Use of this activity may help to promote the exploration of mass estimation concepts as well as the assessment of mass in a classroom environment. Students' general misconceptions in relation to mass, their limited formal and informal experiences with estimating mass, as well as the infrequent assessment of estimation of mass concepts are highlighted as springboards for this study.

T1 - Taking a Closer Look at Young Students' Images of Area Measurement
AN - 61906912; EJ794008
AB - This article explores children's responses to a task that requires them to represent square units in a grid pattern, and highlights the importance to a child's mathematical development of recognizing pattern and structure. The grid task explores children's imagery association with area measurement, and provides clear evidence of students' difficulties in recognizing the importance of equal-sized unit squares and the row-column structure of the grid. The responses from students in this study supported earlier findings that students need to develop grouping, partitioning, and unitising skills. These skills can be developed in a carefully-sequenced program that must include the development of multiplication skills. (Contains 8 figures.)

AB - The authors provide activities for overcoming some fraction misconceptions using calculators specially designed for learners in primary years. The writers advocate use of the calculator as a way to engage children in thinking about mathematics. By engaging with a calculator as part of mathematics learning, children are learning about and using the tools of society as well as developing a deeper understanding of mathematics. They are learning with the aid of technology, becoming techno-literate, and developing number sense. The authors aim to have young students use a calculator to understand an aspect of mathematics in such a way that in future they will not have to use a calculator to perform the same piece of mathematics.

T1 - Helping Children with Words in Word Problems
AN - 61906796; EJ794023
AB - The authors propose that word problems can serve as a context in which to learn mathematics concepts for elementary school students, providing a bridge for connecting classroom mathematics with real-world mathematics. This article focuses on the potential barrier to success that students may encounter because of the words, and subsequent contexts, in which the mathematics is embedded. Eight strategies for teachers include: (1) Remember the importance of teaching vocabulary in each mathematics lesson: (2) Assign fewer problems to allow students the time needed to explore the mathematics presented and develop alternate solutions; (3) Adapt the word problems provided in curriculum materials to use the names of people, places, and activities that are familiar to the specific classroom; (4) Develop word problems (and encourage students to do the same) about a book read in class, using characters, settings, and situations introduced in the selection; (5) Use sufficient words to provide meaningful context: (6) Develop word problems from content area reading selections; (7) Develop word problems from students' real-life experiences; and (8) Encourage children to write their own word problems or to rewrite textbook problems to reflect their interests and experiences.

AB - Examines the Malaysian government's October 2004 release of Ustaz Ashaari Muhammad, former leader of the Islamic movement Darul Arqam, which had been banned since September of 1994. The history of Darul Arqam in Malaysia is traced & the circumstances leading to its controversial banning are described. It is noted that Malaysian citizens believe the release reflects the influence of Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who has strived to establish "good governance" & a "people-friendly image" since he assumed power in October 2003. The shifting relationship between Darul Arqam & the Malaysian state is explored, along with theological controversies & political motivations surrounding the banning of the Islamic movement. It is pointed out that religious freedom in Malaysia applies to Islam versus other religions but not to different interpretations of Islam. The Malaysian government has traditionally viewed "its version of religious orthodoxy to be universally applicable to the Malay-Muslim population." Various religious, social, & political implications of Ustaz Ashaari's release are discussed. References. J. Lindroth

T1 - Brushes with Modernity on Batavia's Horse Tram, 1869-1871
AN - 61614915; 200701609
AB - Argues that the horse trams which ran along the main streets of Batavia from 1869 to 1883 represented an unrecognized experience of modernity. The argument draws on the narratives of tram passengers published in the Malay-language newspaper, a Javanese verse treatise on the tram, & several Dutch travelogues. Passengers who wrote letters to the editor did not describe the tramway as "modern," a concept that was not yet current; however, they used other terms to express the idea of a "new style." The history, development, & operation of the tramway are described, noting that it attracted a mass market because of its ability to both increase the comfort of daily life for those who had previously walked to/from work & to make the city's diversions available to large numbers of people. Although the tramway's unremarkable technology kept it from being ranked as a step forward in progress, it introduced Batavians to aspects of modernity by giving them a unique experience of social equality based on common economic rights. y, Appendixes, References.

T1 - 'The One Who Was Cast Out': Tunipasuluq and Changing Notions of Authority in the Gowa Chronicle
AN - 61601044; 200701538
AB - Examines the Gowa Chronicle's account of the brief reign of Tunipasuluq (the posthumous name of Karaeng Bontolangkasaq) who came to power at age 15 in 1590 & was deposed in 1593. The chronicle of Gowa's 16th & 17th-century rulers does not state why, how, or by whom Tunipasuluq was expelled; however, historians have suggested he was deposed because of reprehensible behavior. The Gowa Chronicle's account of Tunipasuluq's reign is detailed in order to explore notions of authority during a period of rapid social change. Possible reasons for Tunipasuluq's expulsion are considered, along with structural changes in Makassarese society & politics that were occurring at the time. It is concluded that Tunipasuluq's deposition & exile cannot be overlooked when studying Gowa's rise as a dominant power in South Sulawesi. His reign reveals key tensions & debates over the nature of political authority that endured in spite of a general trend toward political centralization. The Tunipasuluq incident also mirrors struggles over authority that were taking place all across pre-colonial Southeast Asia. References. J. Lindroth

T1 - The Media and Migrant Labour Issues in Malaysia: A Content Analysis of Selected Malaysian Newspapers
AN - 60020220; 200624076
AB - Discussion begins with a description of the economic & political aspects of migrant labor in Malaysia, including policy issues surrounding foreign labor recruitment & undocumented immigrants. Drawing on 104 newspaper articles published in eight different sources in 2002, attention turns to how the Malaysian media has framed migrant labor issues related to health, social problems, the economy, & society. At issue is determining what newspapers depict as the economic & social impacts of migrant workers, finding that media representation of foreign workers focuses mostly on their negative socioeconomic impact despite their positive role in economic growth.

T1 - The Devil You Know: Malaysian Perceptions of Foreign Workers
AN - 60019418; 200623784
AB - Draws on English-language newspapers & personal communication with employers of foreign domestic workers to explore the media representation of Indonesian workers in Malaysia. It is contended that, despite the significant contribution to Malaysian economic development, foreign workers have been demonized since the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis, which indicated a failure of government policy to control illegal labor immigration. It is argued that since the 1980s media representations of foreign workers have increased their visibility & heightened the threat they are perceived to pose local jobs & morality. Following overviews of government regulation of migrant labor & the relationship between migrant labor & economic development, attention turns to the public's hostile response to foreign workers as a result of constantly shifting policy on migrant labor, a description & impact of Indonesian domestics, & perceptions of foreign maids. These perceptions are underpinned by sexualizing & criminalizing discourses that result in increased levels of surveillance & mistreatment of maids. Tables, References. D. Edelman

T1 - The Gendering of Domestic Worker Abuse in Singapore
AN - 60017062; 200623964
AB - Contends that gender inequality in Singapore is demonstrated in patterns of domestic worker abuse where the victim & perpetrator are female, based on a statistical profile of victim & perpetrator sociodemographic characteristics. Following an overview of domestic worker abuse, vulnerability factors are outlined, finding that domestics in their twenties & Indonesian workers are most vulnerable. Government measures to improve domestics' working conditions are briefly discussed before examining the hiring of domestic workers in the Singaporean context to shed light on this form of abuse form the female employer's perspective. It is asserted that domestic worker abuse exposed the dissonance between public rhetoric on the importance of home & how the state & society undervalue & renders invisible women's household work, with middle-income women reproduce their feminized roles via the abuse of domestic workers in their charge.

T1 - Malaysia's Regime of Labour Control and the Attempted Transition to a Knowledge Based Economy: The Problematic Role of Migrant Labour
AN - 59729628; 200621076
AB - Explores Malaysia's regime of labor control in the context of changing social structures, employer pressure for labor market reform, & the country's worsening international trading position. Of particular importance are government efforts since the 1990s to shift to a knowledge-based economy (KBE), which clashes with the use of semiskilled low-cost migrant labor & has brought state-labor-capital relations into a state of flux. It is contended that an effective labor control regime is key to Malaysia's political stability & economic growth, & thus the government's failure to reconcile issues related to migrant labor springs from tensions between the political & economic goals for controlling labor. Considering the control of labor from a macrolevel perspective in terms of regulation theory, focus is on the embedded nature of the labor control regime, the political & economic importance of the migrant labor force to this regime, & the emerging conflict in those industry sectors still dependent on imported, unskilled & semiskilled migrant labor amid the transition to a KBE.

T1 - Governance of Indonesian Labour and Migration to Malaysia: An Overview
AN - 59724146; 200620698
AB - International labour migration in the Southeast Asian region is not a new phenomenon. Prior to the colonial period, cross-border movements of people were a common occurrence, particularly in the Malay Archipelago region. During the colonial period, borders were open & people from Indonesia were encouraged to migrate to British Malaya as settlers & plantation workers. Communities living along the newly-defined border zones paid no attention to the 'colonial' borders. After World War II & the emergence of Indonesia & Malaysia as independent nation states, this movement did not stop. Ethnic, religious & cultural ties between the two countries ensured that Indonesian labour migration to Malaysia continued to flourish. In the I 980s this movement was formalised between the two countries through a bilateral agreement. However, the association of Indonesian migrants with crime & various other social problems in Malaysia has resulted in the further regulation of this movement, & measures aimed at the governance of migration have been put in place. This paper provides an overview of the governance of migration in Indonesia. Tables, References. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Iraq: Upcoming Elections and Possible Future Scenarios
AN - 59701965; 200609957
AB - There are several models that may be available for Iraq to follow in terms of political development, & the current details surrounding each potential is discussed. The first is the current puppet government, which has limited legitimacy since it is backed by another country. A highly desired option is the ability to develop a stable, election-driven democracy in Iraq headed by a prime minister & a 275-seat assembly; however, the factions among Iraq are not equally compelled by elections, notably the Sunni community. A third possibility is the return of the strongman, a leader similar to Saddam Hussein, whom often captures political control during times of instability. Another realistic outcome, especially if the US armed forces leave Iraq, is the failed state model, which would prove very threatening to the US national security. Lastly, a power sharing model may emerge between the factions in Iraq & allow autonomy for the various regions, but some argue that it may be too late to negotiate for such a structure, especially after the 2005 elections. However, the most likely model to end the insurgency in Iraq & create stability would be the power-sharing agreement. Post-election developments regarding the results, press coverage, election turnout, & possibilities for the near future are discussed. References. G. Chen

T1 - Ethical Beliefs of Social Work Researchers: Results of a National Study
AN - 57156245; 200706396
AB - The purpose of this study is to examine the beliefs of social work researchers about ethical practices. Surveys were mailed to a random sample of 240 members of the Society for Social Work & Research (SSWR) to elicit their views about ethical practices in social work research. Responses from 160 members (67% response rate) yielded information regarding the appropriateness of dual relationships, authorship practices, informed consent procedures, & other conduct in social work research. Age, gender, educational level, years of social work research experience, & current teaching of social work research were related to respondents' ethical views about practices with students & sexual relationships with research subjects. The need for additional resources on ethics in social work research is highlighted. Tables, References. Adapted from the source document.

T1 - Clamoring for Quiet
AN - 21429384; 12461121
AB - New technologies are providing innovative ways to reduce sound levels in many areas. Aircraft engineers are finding ways to reduce the noise produced by jet engines, while road builders are using rubber-enhanced pavement to quiet highway noise. Indoor acoustics are benefiting from materials that transform sound waves to heat, and so-called active noise control reduces harmful sounds through production of a mirror-image sound field. And new lawn equipment makes weekends at home quieter for yard lovers and their neighbors.

T1 - Noise that Annoys: Regulating Unwanted Sound
AN - 21426434; 12461133
AB - Noise is a problem for many people, especially in urban areas, yet in the United States, the regulation of noise is a problem unto itself. Regulation is left largely to state and local officials, with no federal support, and regulators are caught between commerce and environmental protection. Localities often have to wage lengthy court battles to get relief from nearby noise sources. One way to better regulation may lie in one or more powerful states setting influential standards to serve as an example to other states.

T1 - Dose-Additive Carcinogenicity of a Defined Mixture of "Dioxin-like Compounds"
AN - 21421759; 12461130
AB - Use of the dioxin toxic equivalency factor (TEF) approach in human risk assessments assumes that the combined effects of dioxin-like compounds in a mixture can be predicted based on a potency-adjusted dose-additive combination of constituents of the mixture. In this study, we evaluated the TEF approach in experimental 2-year rodent cancer bioassays with female Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats receiving 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 3,3 ,4,4 ,5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-126), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF), or a mixture of the three compounds. Statistically based dose-response modeling indicated that the shape of the dose-response curves for hepatic, lung, and oral mucosal neoplasms was the same in studies of the three individual chemicals and the mixture. In addition, the dose response for the mixture could be predicted from a combination of the potency-adjusted doses of the individual compounds. Finally, we showed that use of the current World Health Organization dioxin TEF values adequately predicted the increased incidence of liver tumors (hepatocellular adenoma and cholangiocarcinoma) induced by exposure to the mixture. These data support the use of the TEF approach for dioxin cancer risk assessments.

T1 - Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin and Coal Tar Creosote Exposure in a Railroad Worker
AN - 21421723; 12461125
AB - A 50-year-old male railroad worker presented to his primary care physician with an erythematous, tender skin lesion on the right knee; a biopsy of this lesion revealed squamous cell carcinoma in situ. The site of the lesion was sun-protected but had been associated with 30 years of creosote-soaked clothing. In this article, we review dermal and other malignancies associated with creosote, along with creosote occupational exposures and exposure limits. This is a unique case, given the lack of other, potentially confounding, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and the sun-protected location of the lesion.

AB - Lerner and others writing on this topic make it clear that "environmental justice" is an oxymoron. As a rule, those who live and work where chemicals and radioactive materials are produced are poor. Likewise, wastes from homes, industries, and weapons manufacture are deposited in poor communities. Environmental injustice is perhaps a better descriptor.

T1 - A Quantitative Look at Fluorosis, Fluoride Exposure, and Intake in Children Using a Health Risk Assessment Approach
AN - 21407854; 12461111
AB - The prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States has increased during the last 30 years. In this study, we used a mathematical model commonly employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to estimate average daily intake of fluoride via all applicable exposure pathways contributing to fluorosis risk for infants and children living in hypothetical fluoridated and nonfluoridated communities. We also estimated hazard quotients for each exposure pathway and hazard indices for exposure conditions representative of central tendency exposure (CTE) and reasonable maximum exposure (RME) conditions. The exposure pathways considered were uptake of fluoride via fluoridated drinking water, beverages, cow's milk, foods, and fluoride supplements for both age groups. Additionally, consumption of infant formula for infants and inadvertent swallowing of toothpaste while brushing and incidental ingestion of soil for children were also considered. The cumulative daily fluoride intake in fluoridated areas was estimated as 0.20 and 0.11 mg/kg-day for RME and CTE scenarios, respectively, for infants. On the other hand, the RME and CTE estimates for children were 0.23 and 0.06 mg/kg-day, respectively. In areas where municipal water is not fluoridated, our RME and CTE estimates for cumulative daily average intake were, respectively, 0.11 and 0.08 mg/kg-day for infants and 0.21 and 0.06 mg/kg-day for children. Our theoretical estimates are in good agreement with measurement-based estimates reported in the literature. Although CTE estimates were within the optimum range for dental caries prevention, the RME estimates were above the upper tolerable intake limit. This suggests that some children may be at risk for fluorosis.

T1 - Cancer Incidence among Glyphosate-Exposed Pesticide Applicators in the Agricultural Health Study
AN - 21400532; 12461116
AB - Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that is one of the most frequently applied pesticides in the world. Although there has been little consistent evidence of genotoxicity or carcinogenicity from in vitro and animal studies, a few epidemiologic reports have indicated potential health effects of glyphosate. We evaluated associations between glyphosate exposure and cancer incidence in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS), a prospective cohort study of 57,311 licensed pesticide applicators in Iowa and North Carolina. Detailed information on pesticide use and other factors was obtained from a self-administered questionnaire completed at time of enrollment (1993-1997). Among private and commercial applicators, 75.5% reported having ever used glyphosate, of which 97% were men. In this analysis, glyphosate exposure was defined as a) ever personally mixed or applied products containing glyphosate; b) cumulative lifetime days of use, or "cumulative exposure days" (years of use times days/year); and c) intensity-weighted cumulative exposure days (years of use times days/year times estimated intensity level). Poisson regression was used to estimate exposure-response relations between glyphosate and incidence of all cancers combined and 12 relatively common cancer subtypes. Glyphosate exposure was not associated with cancer incidence overall or with most of the cancer subtypes we studied. There was a suggested association with multiple myeloma incidence that should be followed up as more cases occur in the AHS. Given the widespread use of glyphosate, future analyses of the AHS will allow further examination of long-term health effects, including less common cancers.

T1 - Nitromusk and Polycyclic Musk Compounds as Long-Term Inhibitors of Cellular Xenobiotic Defense Systems Mediated by Multidrug Transporters
AN - 21387340; 12461131
AB - Synthetic musk compounds, widely used as fragrances in consumer products, have been detected in human tissue and, surprisingly, in aquatic organisms such as fish and mollusks. Although their persistence and potential to bioaccumulate are of concern, the toxicity and environmental risks of these chemicals are generally regarded as low. Here, however, we show that nitromusks and polycyclic musks inhibit the activity of multidrug efflux transporters responsible for multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) in gills of the marine mussel Mytilus californianus. The IC sub(10) (concentration that inhibits 10%) values for the different classes of musks were in the range of 0.09-0.39 microM, and IC sub(50) values were 0.74-2.56 microM. The immediate consequence of inhibition of efflux transporters is that normally excluded xenobiotics will now be able to enter the cell. Remarkably, the inhibitory effects of a brief 2-hr exposure to musks were only partially reversed after a 24- to 48-hr recovery period in clean seawater. This unexpected consequence of synthetic musks--a long-term loss of efflux transport activity--will result in continued accumulation of normally excluded toxicants even after direct exposure to the musk has ended. These findings also point to the need to determine whether other environmental chemicals have similar long-term effects on these transporters. The results are relevant to human health because they raise the possibility that exposure to common xenobiotics and pharmaceuticals could cause similar long-term inhibition of these transporters and lead to increased exposure to normally excluded toxicants.

T1 - Assessment of Autoimmune Responses Associated with Asbestos Exposure in Libby, Montana, USA
AN - 21380101; 12461118
AB - Systemic autoimmune responses are associated with certain environmental exposures, including crystalline particles such as silica. Positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) tests have been reported in small cohorts exposed to asbestos, but many questions remain regarding the prevalence, pattern, and significance of autoantibodies associated with asbestos exposures. The population in Libby, Montana, provides a unique opportunity for such a study because of both occupational and environmental exposures that have occurred as a result of the mining of asbestos-contaminated vermiculite near the community. As part of a multifaceted assessment of the impact of asbestos exposures on this population, this study explored the possibility of exacerbated autoimmune responses. Age- and sex-matched sets of 50 serum samples from Libby and Missoula, Montana (unexposed), were tested for ANA on HEp-2 cells using indirect immunofluorescence. Data included frequency of positive tests, ANA titers, staining patterns, and scored fluorescence intensity, all against known controls. Serum immunoglobulin A (IgA), rheumatoid factor, and antibodies to extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) were also tested. The Libby samples showed significantly higher frequency of positive ANA and ENA tests, increased mean fluorescence intensity and titers of the ANAs, and higher serum IgA, compared with Missoula samples. In the Libby samples, positive correlations were found between ANA titers and both lung disease severity and extent of exposure. The results support the hypothesis that asbestos exposure is associated with autoimmune responses and suggests that a relationship exists between those responses and asbestos-related disease processes.

AB - As Wolff et al. note, in data from the Seveso Women's Health Study (SWHS) we found no change in age of onset of menarche associated with TCDD exposure in all women in the cohort or in women exposed before 8 years of age (Warner et al. 2004). However, Wolff et al. comment that hormonal exposures before 5 years of age might be the more relevant time period, given that the pubertal transition occurs around 5-7 years of age. Recognizing that our data may be limited by small numbers, Wolff et al. are interested in knowing whether risk of earlier (or later) puberty was seen among girls who were exposed before 5 years of age.

T1 - Human Colon Microbiota Transform Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons to Estrogenic Metabolites
AN - 21377401; 12461132
AB - Ingestion is an important exposure route for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to enter the human body. Although the formation of hazardous PAH metabolites by human biotransformation enzymes is well documented, nothing is known about the PAH transformation potency of human intestinal microbiota. Using a gastrointestinal simulator, we show that human intestinal microbiota can also bioactivate PAHs, more in particular to estrogenic metabolites. PAH compounds are not estrogenic, and indeed, stomach and small intestine digestions of 62.5 nmol naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene showed no estrogenic effects in the human estrogen receptor bioassay. In contrast, colon digests of these PAH compounds displayed estrogenicity, equivalent to 0.31, 2.14, 2.70, and 1.48 nmol 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), respectively. Inactivating the colon microbiota eliminated these estrogenic effects. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the microbial PAH transformation by the detection of PAH metabolites 1-hydroxypyrene and 7-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene in colon digests of pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene. Furthermore, we show that colon digests of a PAH-contaminated soil (simulated ingestion dose of 5 g/day) displayed estrogenic activity equivalent to 0.58 nmol EE2, whereas stomach or small intestine digests did not. Although the matrix in which PAHs are ingested may result in lower exposure concentrations in the gut, our results imply that the PAH bioactivation potency of colon microbiota is not eliminated by the presence of soil. Moreover, because PAH toxicity is also linked to estrogenicity of the compounds, the PAH bioactivation potency of colon microbiota suggests that current risk assessment may underestimate the risk from ingested PAHs.

AN - 21377365; 12461122
AB - As the world's population grows and our technological age produces ever more vehicles, electronic gadgets, and other sound sources, noise is becoming a more pressing problem. Certain sound exposures are not only annoying but can also produce a range of adverse physiological effects and affect learning ability. As more people find themselves subjected to the high volume of modern life, advocacy groups are working to return sound levels at a reasonable level and calling on government to play a leadership role in regulating noise.

T1 - Metabolic Biomarkers for Monitoring in Situ Anaerobic Hydrocarbon Degradation
AN - 21374411; 12461115
AB - During the past 15 years researchers have made great strides in understanding the metabolism of hydrocarbons by anaerobic bacteria. Organisms capable of utilizing benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, alkanes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been isolated and described. In addition, the mechanisms of degradation for these compounds have been elucidated. This basic research has led to the development of methods for detecting in situ biodegradation of petroleum-related pollutants in anoxic groundwater. Knowledge of the metabolic pathways used by anaerobic bacteria to break down hydrocarbons has allowed us to identify unique intermediate compounds that can be used as biomarkers for in situ activity. One of these unique intermediates is 2-methylbenzylsuccinate, the product of fumarate addition to o-xylene by the enzyme responsible for toluene utilization. We have carried out laboratory studies to show that this compound can be used as a reliable indicator of anaerobic toluene degradation. Field studies confirmed that the biomarker is detectable in field samples and its distribution corresponds to areas where active biodegradation is predicted. For naphthalene, three biomarkers were identified [2-naphthoic acid (2-NA), tetrahydro-2-NA, and hexahydro-2-NA] that can be used in the field to identify areas of active in situ degradation.

T1 - Changes in waste stabilisation pond performance resulting from the retrofit of activated sludge treatment upstream: part II - management and operating issues
AN - 21288914; 11662230
AB - Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was originally commissioned with trickling filter secondary treatment, followed by waste stabilisation pond (WSP) treatment and marine discharge. In 1999, a dissolved air flotation/filtration (DAFF) plant was commissioned to treat a portion of the WSP effluent for horticultural reuse. In 2001, the trickling filters were replaced with activated sludge treatment. A shift in WSP ecology became evident soon after this time, characterised by a statistically significant reduction in algal counts in the pond effluent, and increased variability in algal counts and occasional population crashes in the ponds. While the photosynthetic capacity of the WSPs has been reduced, the concomitant reduction in organic loading has meant that the WSPs have not become overloaded. As a result of the improvement in water quality leaving the ponds, significant cost savings and improved product water quality have been realised in the subsequent DAFF treatment stage. A number of operating issues have arisen from the change, however, including the re-emergence of a midge fly nuisance at the site. Control of midge flies using chemical spraying has negated the cost savings realised in the DAFF treatment stage. While biomanipulation of the WSP may provide a less aggressive method of midge control, this case demonstrates the difficulty of predicting in advance all ramifications of a retrospective process change.

T1 - Credit portfolio risk and probability of default confidence sets through the business cycle
AN - 21116994; 11331817
AB - Transition matrices are an important determinant in risk management and VAR calculations for credit portfolios. It is well known that rating migration behavior is not constant through time in that it shows cyclicality and significant change over the years. We investigate the effect of changes in migration matrices on credit portfolio risk in terms of expected loss and value-at-risk figures for illustrative loan portfolios. The estimates are based on historical transition matrices for different time horizons and a continuous-time simulation procedure. We further determine confidence sets for the probability of default (PD) in different rating classes by a bootstrapping methodology. Our findings are that there are substantial changes in VAR as well as in the width of estimated PD confidence intervals.

T1 - Incidence and distribution of viruses of Taro (Colocasia esculenta) in Pacific Island countries
AN - 21033939; 7735827
AB - Four viruses have been reported from taro; Dasheen mosaic virus (DsMV), Taro bacilliform virus (TaBV) and two putative rhabdoviruses, Colocasia bobone disease virus (CBDV) and Taro vein chlorosis virus (TaVCV). A fifth virus, tentatively named Taro reovirus (TaRV), has also been recently identified. The distribution of these viruses throughout the Pacific Islands, and the symptoms associated with their infection, are unknown in many cases due to a lack of sensitive diagnostic tests. We have used recently developed PCR-based diagnostic tests to survey taro growing in 11 Pacific Island countries for the presence of known viruses. DsMV and TaBV were widespread, whereas TaVCV and TaRV were more restricted in their distribution. CBDV was restricted to PNG and Solomon Islands and was always associated with the two most serious viral diseases of taro; alomae disease and bobone disease, but the causal agent of these two diseases remains unclear.

AB - This study examines decisions by social work educators about authorship order and educators' views on other authorship issues. Results indicate the writing of the manuscript was viewed as the most important task in making decisions about authorship order. The majority believed that a written agreement is helpful before beginning research to decide authorship order. Gender and prior authorship experience were found to be significantly related to some social work educators' beliefs. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

T1 - Predatory Mites from Crops and Pastures in South Africa: Potential Natural Enemies of Redlegged Earth Mite Halotydeus Destructor (Acari: Penthaleidae)
AN - 20804821; 7925541
AB - A survey was conducted in crops and pastures in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, in a search for predatory mites that could have potential for introduction into Australia as biological control agents of redlegged earth mite Halotydeus destructor (Penthaleidae). A total of over 1200 specimens was examined, and 56 species of predatory mites belonging to 14 families were found. Information is presented for 33 known species, including synonymy and bibliography, geographic distribution, and biology where known. Eight species in six families are described as new-Bdellodes edentata sp. nov. (Bdellidae), Hypoaspis calcarata sp. nov. (Laelapidae), Hypoaspis muellerae sp. nov. (Laelapidae), Macrocheles propinquus sp. nov. (Macrochelidae), Gamasiphoides lootsi sp. nov. (Ologamasidae), Gamasiphoides rykei sp. nov. (Ologamasidae), (c) 2005 Magnolia Press 13 PREDATORY MITES 107 Pachylaelaps meganalis sp. nov. (Pachylaelapidae), and Rhagidia meyerae sp. nov. (Rhagidiidae). Fifteen species could not be fully identified because suitable specimens were not available. Of the 41 species that could be identified, nine are already present in Australia. A further 20 species are not known from Australia, but were rare in South Africa and therefore unlikely to be useful predators. Twelve species occurred in significant numbers in South Africa and are not known from Australia. Most of these are known or believed to be generalist predators, and are therefore unlikely to be approved for introduction into Australia. Chaussieria capensis (Anystidae) was considered to have potential and has been studied further. The survey did not identify any other species that were considered to be suitable as biological control agents.

T1 - Neodolichodorus australis n.sp. (Nematoda: Dolichodoridae) on carrot in Australia
AN - 20373898; 7737349
AB - Neodolichodorus australis n.sp. is described from Australia. It was associated with damage to a carrot crop at Narrandera, NSW. This is the first time the genus has been recorded on carrot or damaging an economic crop. At least three other species are known from Australia, mostly from native vegetation, and another from sand dune vegetation in New Zealand. Neodolichodorus australis n.sp. is characterised by seven transverse striae on the head, stylet 120-128 A mu m long, external transverse striae crossing the inner lateral field completely, posterior vulva (V = 55-59%), one refractive element near the vagina, phasmid anterior to anus and short tail in adult females, (c > 60, c < 1), spicules 43-48 A mu m long, protrusible gubernaculum 18-20 A mu m long with accessory piece, and spines around the posterior edge of the medial bursal lobe. An identification key to all species currently in the genus is included.

AB - Interpol developed a database called the Ecomessage in order to coordinate international efforts to combat environmental crime. In addition to improving communication among environmental law enforcement personnel in different countries, the Ecomessage database allows for criminal analyses to determine trends and commonalities of criminal activity. It can also assist in environmental enforcement targeting. This paper discusses the objectives and mechanism of the Ecomessage.

T1 - How many soil samples are needed to show that Phytophthora is absent from sites in the south-west of Western Australia?
AN - 19882612; 7735849
AB - Systematic surveys were used to determine the isolation frequency of Phytophthora cinnamomi and other Phytophthora spp. from the centre and margin of infested sites (dieback sites) in native vegetation in the south-west of Western Australia. Soil and fine root samples were baited with Eucalyptus sieberi cotyledons, dried for 1 week and then rebaited (double baited), in order to maximise recoveries. Any Phytophthora spp. isolated were identified. P. cinnamomi was recovered from 1.1 and 7.2% of soil samples taken from the centre and margin, respectively, of dieback sites. Double baiting increased the recovery of Phytophthora spp. from 1.9 to 2.5% from the centre, and P. cinnamomi from 6.3 to 7.2% from the margin of dieback sites. The proportion of samples from which Phytophthora was not recovered was used to estimate the number of samples needed from a suspected dieback site which, if all were negative, would indicate that Phytophthora was not present. For P. cinnamomi, with a probability of 0.05, the sample size is 40, taken from within 5A m of a vegetation boundary, whereas the sample size is 271 for samples from the centre of a suspected dieback site.

T1 - Temperature, wetness period and inoculum concentration influence infection of canola (Brassica napus) by pycnidiospores of Leptosphaeria maculans
AN - 19870092; 7735831
AB - Infection of canola (Brassica napus) by pycnidiospores of the blackleg fungus (Leptosphaeria maculans) and subsequent development of leaf and stem infection were influenced by temperature, wetness period and inoculum concentration. On cv. Hyola 42, as temperature decreased the latent period for leaf infection increased exponentially. The greatest number of leaf lesions developed on plants exposed to a day/night temperature of 18/15A not equal to with a 96A h wetness period. Incidence of stem infection was greatest at 23/20A not equal to with a 48-72A h wetness period, whereas no stem infection occurred 42A days after inoculation when plants were incubated at 8/6A not equal to . This is the first report of the effect of temperature and wetness period on infection by pycnidiospores. The number of leaf lesions and incidence of stem cankers were greatest when plants were inoculated with 10 super(6) or 10 super(7) pycnidiospores/mL, respectively, the highest concentrations used in the experiments. The susceptible cv. Q2 developed significantly more leaf and stem lesions than the less susceptible cvv. Monty and Dunkeld when inoculated with 10 super(7) pycnidiospores/mL, but not at the lower concentrations. The moderately resistant cv. Dunkeld developed significantly fewer stem cankers than the other cultivars when inoculated with pycnidiospores at concentrations greater than 10 super(4)/mL.

T1 - The use of quartz concentrate (acid-insoluble residue) as a sample medium in lithogeochemistry and regolith exploration studies: development of a method
AN - 19660124; 7415949
AB - Quartz concentrates provide a general sample medium with low background concentration of minor and trace elements. They can be obtained from most rock types by hot nitric acid or aqua regia leach, sometimes supplemented by sulphuric acid leach. The concentrates consist of a mixture of primary quartz, secondary quartz resulting from wallrock alteration and insoluble minerals such as sericite and alkali feldspar. Multi-element analysis enables detection of even the weakest mineralization and wallrock alteration, as expressed mainly by Ba, Ca, Ge, K, Li, Mn, Na, Rb and Sr, in addition to Au, Pb, and Zn. Both wallrock alteration patterns and secondary dispersion trails remain preserved in the quartz concentrates, even in deeply weathered terrain. Results of 14 case histories of various types of gold and base metal deposits are compared.

T1 - Effects on high school students of teaching a cross-age alcohol prevention program
AN - 19496216; 7183556
AB - This study examined the impact on high school students who taught elementary students MADD's Protecting You/Protecting Me (PY/PM), an alcohol use prevention and vehicle safety program. High school students (N = 188) enrolled in a peer helping course completed surveys before and after teaching PY/PM, and a comparison group of peer helper students (N = 141) from matched schools completed surveys at the same times. Results indicated that, relative to the comparison group, those exposed to PY/PM gained knowledge of alcohol's effects, increased their perceptions of the risks of high levels of alcohol use, gained teaching skills, and showed less frequent episodes of binge drinking.

T1 - Biosecurity: a new word for an old concept
AN - 19377813; 7149628
AB - Biosecurity is a fashionable word that is being used in a number of different circumstances, these are explored. The concept of biosecurity is used to cover the management of risks arising from biological organisms and agents that may cause harm to living organisms and other aspects of the environment. Following the spread of diseases such as whitespot syndrome virus and Taura syndrome virus in prawns, Akoya disease in pearl oysters and epizootic ulcerative syndrome in fish, the need for improvement in aquatic animal biosecurity has been recognised. The principles underpinning the development of a biosecurity program are identified. Biosecurity programs should have a strong scientific basis and use risk assessment to evaluate risk management approaches so as to ensure that the adopted measures provide appropriate protection without unduly hindering business opportunities.

T1 - Subantarctic hitchhikers: expeditioners as vectors for the introduction of alien organisms
AN - 18048642; 5999694
AB - Subantarctic islands have depauperate floras and faunas. When combined with recent changes in climate, these factors increase the likelihood of alien species establishing in the subantarctic. Cargo, food and expeditioners in transit to the subantarctic as part of the Australian Antarctic Program (AAP) were inspected to determine their potential as vectors for alien species. All cargo items were found to have the potential to act as vectors for alien species introductions. Cargo containers were found to harbour plant material, seeds and spider webs. A major potential source of contamination is transport used on resupply expeditions for ship to shore transfers. The presence of large numbers of littoral organisms on the bottom of a barge highlighted the real risk of a potential pathway for the introduction of marine taxa. Insect infestation, scale, fungal infection and the presence of soil were all problems associated with the provision of fresh food to subantarctic stations. Equipment identified as high risk vectors included equipment cases, day packs and the cuffs and Velcro closures of outer clothing. Many expeditioners had travelled overseas in the six months prior to embarkation and had recently visited alpine or high latitude environments. A total of 981 propagules and five moss shoots were collected from clothing and equipment of 64 expeditioners. Ninety species from 15 families were identified, most of which were grass caryopses. Asteraceae and Poaceae contained the greatest diversity of propagules. In germination trials a total of 163 plants (24 species) were identified. A risk assessment was prepared to determine issues posing a threat to subantarctic quarantine and assess possible logistic and management changes to minimise these threats. Many changes suggested have since been implemented resulting in a reduction in the number of alien species recorded in subsequent inspections.

T1 - Presumptive shigellosis: Clinical and laboratory characteristics of Bangladeshi patients
AN - 17859525; 6220457
AB - The aim of the study was to examine some selected clinical and laboratory parameters in distinguishing non-Shigella invasive diarrhoeas from culture-confirmed Shigella cases. We conducted a clinic-based, cross-sectional study at the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR, B located in Bangladesh. In total, 389 patients of all age groups and of both genders, with a history of diarrhoea of less than 96 h and presence of visible blood and/or mucus in the stool were presumed to have shigellosis and enrolled in the study. Shigella was isolated from faecal cultures in 227 (58.4%) patients. The remaining 162 (41.6%) patients did not have Shigella isolated from their faecal cultures and constituted the comparison group. Another 238 randomly selected patients with non-Shigella diarrhoea from the Diarrhoeal Disease Surveillance System database of the Dhaka Hospital constituted another comparison group. Cases of culture-proven Shigella were similar to non-Shigella invasive diarrhoeal patients with presumptive shigellosis with regard to several biosocial variables. The nutritional status of children with shigellosis was significantly inferior to those with non-Shigella diarrhoea. The presence of macrophages more than 5/HPF in stool microscopic examination was significantly more frequent among patients infected with Shigella. Empirical antimicrobial therapy for shigellosis might be considered for malnourished diarrhoeal children presenting with history of visible blood and/or mucus in stool, and children older than 1 y of age. Further studies are needed in different geographical settings to identify clinical and laboratory parameters that could help identify patients with shigellosis.

T1 - Carbonic anhydrase metabolism is a key factor in the toxicity of CO sub(2) and COS but not CS sub(2) toward the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum [Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae]
AN - 17859269; 6214316
AB - The analogues carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)), carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS sub(2)) have been useful as substrate probes for enzyme activities. Here we explored the affinity of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase for its natural substrate CO sub(2), as well as COS and CS sub(2) (1) by in vitro kinetic metabolism studies using pure enzyme and (2) through mortality bioassay of insects exposed to toxic levels of each of the gases during carbonic anhydrase inhibition. Hydrolysis of COS to form hydrogen sulfide was catalysed rapidly showing parameters K sub(m) 1.86 mM and K sub(cat) 41 s super(-1) at 25 C; however, the specificity constant (K sub(cat)/K sub(m)) was 4000-fold lower than the reported value for carbonic anhydrase-catalysed hydration of CO sub(2). Carbonic anhydrase-mediated CS sub(2) metabolism was a further 65, 000-fold lower than COS. Both results demonstrate the deactivating effect toward the enzyme of sulfur substitution for oxygen in the molecule. We also investigated the role of carbonic anhydrases in CO sub(2), COS and CS sub(2) toxicity using a specific inhibitor, acetazolamide, administered to Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) larvae via the diet. CO sub(2) toxicity was greatly enhanced by up to seven-fold in acetazolamide-treated larvae indicating that carbonic anhydrases are a key protective enzyme in elevated CO sub(2) concentrations. Conversely, mortality was reduced by up to 12-fold in acetazolamide-treated larvae exposed to COS due to reduced formation of toxic hydrogen sulfide. CS sub(2) toxicity was unaffected by acetazolamide. These results show that carbonic anhydrase has a key role in toxicity of the substrates CO sub(2) and COS but not CS sub(2), despite minor differences in chemical formulae.

T1 - Predictors of body mass index and associations with cardiovascular risk factors in Australian children: a prospective cohort study
AN - 17828916; 6145797
AB - To examine predictors of body mass index (BMI) at the age of 8 y in a prospective study of Australian children. Longitudinal survey of a cohort of Australian children followed from the 16th week of gestation to 8 y. In total, 741 boys and 689 girls who attended the survey as 8 y olds. Weight and height, blood pressure measured by automated oscillometry, fasting blood lipids and glucose. Questionnaire assessment of activity and diet. Proportions of overweight including obesity in boys and girls were, respectively, 22 and 25% at 1 y, 14 and 14% at 3 y, 13 and 18% at 5 y and 15 and 20% at 8 y. At the age of 1, 3, 6 and 8 y, children with overweight including obesity showed significantly more adverse cardiovascular risk factors. Blood pressure (BP) was significantly higher by 2/3 mmHg (systolic/diastolic) at 1 y, 3/2 mmHg at 3 y, 4/2 mmHg at 5 y and 6/2 mmHg at 8 y; HDL was significantly lower (P = 0.002) by 8% and triglycerides were significantly higher by 27% (P < 0.001). In multivariate regression, BMI at the age of 8 y was significantly predicted positively by birth weight, mother's BMI and hours spent in watching television at the time of the survey of 6 y olds. Mothers being ex-smokers or non smokers and children being 'slightly active' and 'active' negatively predicted BMI in 8 y olds. In a subset of 298 children with information about fathers, paternal BMI was an additional independent predictor. Maternal or paternal overweight including obesity each independently increased risk of overweight including obesity at the age of 8 y threefold. A food factor with consumption of cereals and breads as the major components derived from a Food Frequency Questionnaire in a subset of 340 children was also an independent negative predictor of BMI in multivariate models. The increasing rate of overweight including obesity, particularly in girls, is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk factors very early in life. Improvement of health-related behaviours within the family and a focus on promotion of activity in children should be priorities in achieving weight control.

T1 - Chemical Ecology of Locusts and Related Acridids
AN - 17807694; 6194207
AB - The results and insights from recent research on the chemical ecology of polymorphic acridids are reviewed. Many of the new findings come from studies on the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, which has continued to be the primary research insect in most laboratories. Earlier confusion between stimuli associated with phase change and social cohesion has been resolved. The roles of chemotactile and olfactory cues together with tactile and visual stimuli in key locust processes, comprising gregarization, social cohesion, synchronous maturation, mating, oviposition, and maternal transfer of gregarious character, are better understood. Some of the key pheromones of the gregarious phase have been characterized. Chemical communication is also shown to be important in the life style of the solitarious phase. The behavioral pattern and responses of this phase reflect a strong propensity of the species to exploit opportunities under appropriate conditions to form or join the crowd and to gregarize. Outstanding questions are highlighted.

T1 - Prenatal Exposure to a Low Dose of 4-Hydroxy-2',3,3',4',5'- Pentachlorobiphenyl Increases Emotional Behaviors in Mice
AN - 17661753; 6515125
AB - Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl (OH-PCB) is a major metabolite of PCB, which is an endocrine disrupter. In this study, we investigated the neurobehavioral effects of prenatal exposure to a very low dose of OH-PCB (4-hydroxy-2',3,3',4',5'-pentachlorobiphenyl, 4-OH-pentaCB) in mice. 4-OH-pentaCB, dissolved in corn oil, was orally given at 0.1 mu g/30 mu l/animal/day to pregnant mice from gestation days 11 to 17. In the open field test, the number of ambulation and rearing drastically increased among 4-OH-pentaCB exposed mice compared with the control. However, 4-OH-pentaCB exposure had no effect on passive avoidance. These results suggest that an extremely low dose of 4-OH-pentaCB may selectively disrupt neurobehavioral functions involved in ambulation and rearing in mice.

T1 - Microbial Degradation of Disinfectants. A New Chlorhexidine Degradation Intermediate (CHDI), CHDI-C, Produced by Pseudomonas sp. Strain No. A-3
AN - 17652395; 6494411
AB - To clarify the degradation pathway of chlorhexidine by a microbe, Pseudomonas sp. Strain No. A-3, the isolation and identification of microbial chlorhexidine degradation products were attempted. A new chlorhexidine degradation intermediate (CHDI), named CHDI-C, was isolated by extraction with ethylacetate, n-butanol, column chromatography using Silica gel, and purified by preparative thin layer chromatography. The chemical structure of this product was examined by infrared, super(1)H NMR, super(13)C NMR and fast atom bombardment mass spectra studies. Based on the spectroscopic data, this product was assumed to be a modified compound of chlorhexidine (molecular weight, MW; 530). From the proposed structure, CHDI-C was assumed to be a new chlorhexidine degradation intermediate.

T1 - Review & Forecast: Improved Port Security Technology: Vital for Safe and Secure Waterways
AN - 17618063; 6258405
AB - America's ports and waterways play an essential role in our nation's economy, and are becoming increasingly vital to our homeland security. Our nation's economic engine relies on the free flow of commerce. If just one port were to suffer an attack, the catastrophic result would not only impact the safety of the many Americans living in coastal areas, but could effectively halt the global transport of goods and materials. A multi-layered approach is vital to ensuring the security at our ports and along our coasts. Congress is using this multi-layered approach to improve our port security by increasing funding and authority for the U.S. Coast Guard, and investing in new port security technologies. Increased intelligence efforts and new technology in the maritime sector will allow the Coast Guard to further extend our borders. This will enable the service to identify and track potential threats long before they reach our shores. Enhancing the collection and dissemination of maritime intelligence data and increasing our maritime domain awareness is critical if the Coast Guard is to successfully secure America's ports.

T1 - A comparison of training methods to increase neck muscle strength
AN - 17595203; 6534715
AB - To compare two neck strength training modalities. Neck injury in pilots flying high performance aircraft is a concern in aviation medicine. Strength training may be an effective means to strengthen the neck and decrease injury risk. The cohort consisted of 32 age-height-weight matched participants, divided into two experimental groups; the Multi-Cervical Unit (MCU) and Thera-Band tubing groups (THER), and a control (CTRL) group. Ten weeks of training were undertaken and pre- and post isometric strength testing for all groups was performed on the MCU. Comparisons between the three groups were made using a Kruskal-Wallis test and effect sizes between the MCU and the THER groups and the THER and CTRL groups were also calculated. The MCU group displayed the greatest increase in isometric strength (flexion 64.4%, extension 62.9%, left lateral flexion 53.3%, right lateral flexion 49.1%) and differences were only statistically significant (p < 0.05) when compared to the CTRL group. Increases in neck strength for the THER group were lower than that shown in the MCU group (flexion 42.0%, extension 29.9%, left lateral flexion 26.7%, right lateral flexion 24.1%). Moderate to large effect sizes were found between the MCU and THER as well as the THER and CTRL groups. This study demonstrated that the MCU was the most effective training modality to increase isometric cervical muscle strength. Thera-Band tubing did however, produce moderate gains in isometric neck strength.

T1 - Recent advances and current developments in tissue scaffolding
AN - 17576939; 6403306
AB - A bio-scaffold can be broadly termed as a structure used to substitute an organ either permanently or temporarily to restore functionality. The material that can be used varies with the application intended. Tissue engineering is one such application demanding certain requirements to be met before it is applied. One of the applications in tissue engineering is the tissue scaffold, which provides either a permanent or temporary support to the damaged tissues/organ until the functionalities are restored. A biomaterial can exhibit specific interactions with cells that will lead to stereotyped responses. The use of a particular material and morphology depends on various factors such as osteoinduction, osteoconduction, angiogenesis, growth rates of cells and degradation rate of the material in case of temporary scaffolds, etc. The current work reviews the state of art in tissue scaffolds and focuses on permanent scaffold materials and applications with a brief overview of temporary scaffold materials and their disadvantages.

T1 - Transdermal Drug Delivery: Penetration Enhancement Techniques
AN - 17425915; 6538385
AB - There is considerable interest in the skin as a site of drug application both for local and systemic effect. However, the skin, in particular the stratum corneum, poses a formidable barrier to drug penetration thereby limiting topical and transdermal bioavailability. Skin penetration enhancement techniques have been developed to improve bioavailability and increase the range of drugs for which topical and transdermal delivery is a viable option. This review describes enhancement techniques based on drug / vehicle optimisation such as drug selection, prodrugs and ion-pairs, supersaturated drug solutions, eutectic systems, complexation, liposomes, vesicles and particles. Enhancement via modification of the stratum corneum by hydration, chemical enhancers acting on the structure of the stratum corneum lipids and keratin, partitioning and solubility effects are also discussed. The mechanism of action of penetration enhancers and retarders and their potential for clinical application is described.

T1 - Full employment and ecological sustainability: comparing the NAIRU, Basic Income, and Job Guarantee approaches
AN - 17411643; 6525606
AB - One of the central themes of this joint conference A Future that Works: Economics, Employment, and the Environment is how to achieve full employment and ecological sustainability. This paper assesses three alternative macroeconomic policy approaches in terms of how well they resolve these two policy objectives. The three approaches assessed are: the NAIRU (non- accelerating inflation rate of unemployment) approach to macroeconomic policy setting; the Basic Income approach (guaranteed income for all); the Job Guarantee approach (employer of last resort). It is argued that: the NAIRU approach fails on both fronts; the Basic Income approach has the potential to improve distributional equity though not as effectively as the Job Guarantee but does not ensure full employment or ecological sustainability; the Job Guarantee is the best means of achieving full employment but, in order to bring about ecological sustainability, needs to be supplemented by the imposition of natural resource throughput constraints.

T1 - Anti-islanding protection and islanding operation of grid-connected hydropower distributed generation
AN - 17368992; 6458761
AB - Salient issues associated with the connection of hydropower distributed generation (HPDG) into distribution networks include operation and voltage regulation, grid connection and control interaction, anti-islanding protection and islanding operation, and operation of protective devices. Better understanding of these issues and finding solutions to these problems are timely and important to the electricity industry. This paper has addressed islanding and anti-islanding issues of hydropower DG, and developed design criteria and solution for effective operation and control. A current control scheme based on microprocessor-based line-tracking system is proposed for HPDG operation with grid system. A technique is developed to use islanding detection and anti-islanding protection of HPDG. The paper has also proposed guidelines for islanding operation of HPDG to improve quality and reliability of power supply. Control of over- and under-generated islanded systems with hydropower DG have been explored and criteria for islanding operation and resynchronisation when mains return are discussed.

T1 - Response of larval Chironomus tepperi (Diptera: Chironomidae) to individual Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis toxins and toxin mixtures
AN - 17350062; 6389042
AB - The biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i.) is highly toxic to the larvae of Chironomus tepperi, an important pest of aerially sown rice in southern Australia. In this study, all of the known Cry genes and the Cyt1A gene from B.t.i. were expressed and tested for individual toxicity against fourth instar C. tepperi larvae. Possible synergism between toxins in two component mixtures involving all toxins except Cry10A was also evaluated. Of the Cry toxins, only Cry11A and Cry4B displayed substantial toxicity; however, both were 10- to 20-fold less toxic than the parental B.t.i. strain. The only detected synergy was between the mildly toxic Cry4A and Cyt1A toxins. In direct contrast to previous studies with mosquitoes, mixtures of Cry11A/Cry4B and Cry11A/Cyt1A were mildly antagonistic. The activity of Cry11A and Cry4B is sufficient to justify investigation as to whether their expression in transgenic rice plants could provide control of C. tepperi larvae.

T1 - Drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in selected urban and rural areas in Bangladesh
AN - 17324721; 6192368
AB - The magnitude of anti-tuberculosis drug resistance in Bangladesh is not precisely known. We studied the drug resistance patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an urban and a rural area of Bangladesh. A tuberculosis (TB) surveillance system has been set up in a population of 106,000 in rural Matlab and in a TB clinic in urban Dhaka. Trained field workers interviewed all persons greater than or equal to 15 y at Matlab to detect suspected cases of tuberculosis (cough > 21 d) and sputum samples were examined for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). The first 3 AFB positive patients daily from the urban clinic were included. AFB positive cases diagnosed between June 2001 and June 2003 from both settings were cultured and drug susceptibility tests were performed. Of 657 isolates, resistance to 1 or more drugs was observed in 48.4% of isolates. Resistance to streptomycin, isoniazid, ethambutol and rifampicin was observed in 45.2%, 14.2%, 7.9% and 6.4% of isolates, respectively. Multidrug resistance was observed in 5.5% of isolates. It was significantly higher among persons who previously had received tuberculosis treatment of greater than or equal to 1 month (15.4% vs 3.0%, adjusted OR: 6.12, 95% CI: 3.03-12.34). The magnitude of anti-tuberculosis drug resistance in Bangladesh is high. Further evaluation is needed to explain the high proportion of streptomycin resistant M. tuberculosis. Appropriate measures to control and prevent drug resistant tuberculosis in Bangladesh to reduce mortality and transmission are warranted.

T1 - The use of carbon dioxide as a tracer in the determination of particle number emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles
AN - 17230473; 6929557
AB - In this paper, we have analysed the particle number and CO sub(2) concentration data from four previous dynamometer studies, each consisting of a number of heavy-duty vehicles of different age and operating on different diesel fuel blends. Emission rates were calculated for four operational modes corresponding to 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% of the maximum rated engine power. In a given mode the calculated CO sub(2) emission rates were approximately the same for all vehicles, but the calculated particle number emission rates varied considerably between vehicles. Using concentrations measured directly from the dilution tunnel, we found that the ratio of diluted particle number concentration, to diluted CO sub(2) concentration (P/C ratio) was directly proportional to the calculated undiluted particle number emission concentration, with a high degree of correlation. These observations suggest that the P/C ratio within the diluted sample is a good indicator of the particle number emission concentration for the undiluted exhaust. This was confirmed by grouping the vehicles according to age whence the newest age group, expected to have the cleanest emissions, always showed the lowest P/C ratio. An additional series of experiments were conducted on-road with a light duty diesel vehicle, at speeds ranging from 40 to 100 km h super(-1). The diluted exhaust emissions were collected in a large bag housed in a trailer attached to the back of the vehicle. Various dilution ratios were achieved by sampling over a range of distances directly behind the vehicle tail-pipe outlet. As expected, the particle number concentration in the bag, for different distances and therefore different dilution ratios, showed a definite relationship to the dilution ratio, however the P/C ratio was independent of dilution for dilution ratios in the range 20- 110. Based on the results of the dynamometer and on-road studies, it is suggested that the P/C ratio may be used as a viable method for the rapid identification of high particle number emitting vehicles as they drive past on a road. The technique has the added advantage that it is independent of the position of the sampling point in relation to the emission plume.

T1 - Effect of fuel composition and engine operating conditions on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from a fleet of heavy-duty diesel buses
AN - 17228816; 6929693
AB - Emissions from 12 in-service heavy-duty buses powered by low- (LSD) and ultra low-sulfur (ULSD) diesel fuels were measured with the aim to characterize the profile of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the exhaust and to identify the effect of different types of fuels on the emissions. To mimic on- road conditions as much as possible, sampling was conducted on a chassis dynamometer at four driving modes, namely: mode 7 or idle (0% power), mode 11 (25% power), mode 10 (50% power) and mode 8 (100% power). Irrespective of the type of fuel used, naphthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, phenanthrene, fluorene, fluoranthene and pyrene were found to be the dominant PAHs in the exhaust emissions of the buses. However, the PAH composition in the exhausts of ULSD buses were up to 91+/-6% less than those in the LSD buses. In particular, three- and four-ringed PAHs were more abundant in the later than in the former. Lowering of fuel sulfur content not only reduced PAH emission, but also decreased the benzo(a)pyrene equivalent (BAP sub(eq)) and hence the toxicity of the exhaust. Result from multicriteria decision-making and multivariate data analysis techniques showed that the use of ULSD afforded cleaner exhaust compositions and emissions with characteristics that are distinct from those obtained by the use of LSD.

T1 - Unlearning Pedagogy
AN - 1720064675; EJ1066452
AB - Our teaching and learning habits are useful but they can also be deadly. They are useful when the conditions in which they work are predictable and stable. But what happens if and when the bottom falls out of the stable social world in and for which we learn? Is it possible that learning itself--learning as we have come to enact it habitually--may no longer be particularly useful? Could it be that the very habits that have served us so well in stable times might actually become impediments to social success, even to social survival? This paper explores reasons why we may need to give up on some of our deeply held beliefs about teaching and learning in order to better prepare young people for their social futures.

T1 - Incorporating Real Experience into the Development of a Classroom-Based Simulation
AN - 1720064020; EJ1066464
AB - This paper reports on the design of an on-line simulation that enhanced preservice teacher practicum experience in the important area of literacy teaching. Research with more than 200 users of the simulation showed that it developed pre-service teacher understanding of complex classroom situations associated with the teaching of literacy by giving them the opportunity to slow down or accelerate classroom events, revisit and reflect on critical decision points and replay events in the light of new understandings. This gave preservice teachers time to think critically about complex teaching situations which relied on the teacher's ability to tune into children's experiences, engage with them in dialogue and negotiation as well as utilise a range of indirect instructions such as questioning, modelling and prompting. Preservice teachers reported that their experience with the simulation enabled them to more fully appreciate the impact of subtle changes that experienced teachers made during lessons.

T1 - Multiple Perspectives on Blended Learning Design
AN - 1720061812; EJ1066456
AB - Learning in the corporate setting not only relates to individual competence development but also to a demonstration of business impact and a contribution to the strategic ambitions of the company. An approach to learning design that blends generic principles of learning and instruction with strategic goals important to the particular context, anchored in a commitment to authentic and engaging learning activities is needed. We describe how a particular action-research partnership has developed such an approach to learning design, give examples of learning events that illustrate the design, and then synthesize results of 12 of these events from three perspectives the designer/researcher, the instructor, and the participant--in order to reflect on the lessons learned and apply them in an on-going way to a dynamic learning evolution. Although the experiences reported are from one global corporate setting, the research-based reference model used to steer this approach to learning design is by its very nature adaptable to other organizational contexts.

T1 - Informing Future Learning Designs in Preservice Teacher Education through Quantitative Research: A Primary Science Example
AN - 1720059763; EJ1066466
AB - Reform documents have provided a framework for advancing science education (e.g., The Australian National Science Standard Committee, 2002), but omit the need to assess preservice teachers prior knowledge for designing effective learning programs. A pretest-posttest 34-item survey linked to the course outcomes (associated with four constructs) measured 66 third-year preservice teachers perceptions towards becoming primary science teachers. Effect sizes were educationally and statistically significant for each of the four constructs (i.e., Theory [d=1.08], Children's development [d = 1.60], Planning [d = 1.17], Implementation [d = 0.89]. Paired t-tests were also significant for the first three constructs; however posttest results revealed less than 90% of these participants disagreed or strongly disagreed with 4 of the 14 items associated with the fourth construct (i.e., Implementation). The results implied that the learning design for this course requires revision in areas where indicators were shown to be not significant. A pretest-posttest survey can aid in identifying preservice teachers prior knowledge for advancing tertiary coursework by catering for the learners needs.

T1 - Using Conceptual Mapping as a Tool in the Process of Engineering Education Program Design
AN - 1720059743; EJ1066471
AB - An evaluation of application of the conceptual mapping technique (Inglis, 2003) to the team-based design of fourteen courses in an Engineering undergraduate program is described. The evaluation employed a method of scoring each conceptual map against criteria tied to the objectives of the design process. The evaluation method was found to be capable of revealing differences in application of the conceptual mapping technique. The evaluation indicated that the course teams concerned appeared to have focused closely on the adequacy of intended learning outcomes but less closely on matching the student assessment adequately with the intended learning outcomes. The evaluation also indicated that to obtain the full benefit of use of the technique, more training of instructional design staff was required than had been provided.

T1 - Unsaturated diether lipids in the psyehrotrophic archaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi
AN - 17107387; 6737010
AB - The major phospholipids of Halorubrum lacusprofundi grown at 25 degree C were archaeol phosphatidylglycerol, archaeol phosphatidylglycerylsulphate and archaeol phosphatidylglycerylphosphate methyl ester. Glycolipids included a monoglycosyl archaeol and the sulphate ester of a diglycosyl archaeol. Cultures grown at 12 degree C contained the same suite of phospho and glycolipids, with the addition of a series of unsaturated analogues with up to six double bonds. The patterns of unsaturation were similar for all the phospholipid series, but a different pattern occurred in the glycolipids. The analytical techniques used in this study allow facile detection of unsaturated archaeal cell membrane lipids that are degraded by commonly used chemical derivatization procedures.

T1 - Profiling and modelling of thermal changes in a large waste stabilisation pond
AN - 16207014; 6467681
AB - A thermal profiling study was undertaken at four depths at each of nine sites, and at the inlets and outlets of a large waste stabilisation pond (WSP). Results were collected simultaneously using a network of 42 thermistors and dataloggers. Profiles at each site were categorised as either "stratified" or "unstratified", and persistence analysis was used to determine the frequency and persistence of stratification events at each of the nine sites. Stratification was found to persist most strongly at the site furthest upwind in the WSP, with respect to prevailing wind during the study, leading to the conclusion that stratification induced short-circuiting will be greatest in this region of the WSP. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was constructed of the WSP, including an energy balance to predict the bulk stratification gradient in the pond. Environmental conditions and WSP inlet temperature during one day in June 2001 were used as boundary conditions. The pond thermal profiles measured during the profiling study, together with outlet temperature during the day, were used to validate the CFD model results. The model predicted mean pond temperature with a high degree of accuracy (r super(2) = 0.92). However it was evident that even modest winds ( greater than or equal to 1.5 m/s) partially broke down stratification, leading to poor prediction of the gradient by the CFD model, which did not directly account for the impact of wind shear stress on mixing in the WSP.

T1 - Risks posed to the Antarctic marine environment by acoustic instruments: a structured analysis
AN - 16206891; 6548578
AB - The risks posed by a range of acoustic scientific instruments were assessed by the construction of matrices of scale and likelihood. The Action Group recognized six levels of impact ranging from none or short term, minimal behavioural response (Level 1) to multiple injuries and fatalities and/or compromised populations (Level 6) and six levels of likelihood ranging from 'Expected in almost all instances' (Level 1) to 'cannot see how it could happen' (Level 6). Typical scientific instruments ranging from acoustic releases to large air gun arrays were assessed. To provide a perspective for the risks of scientific operations, other activities were also ranked. These included large chemical explosions, submarine detection sonars implicated in some mass strandings of cetaceans and normal Antarctic shipping activities. The conclusion reached was that most scientific instruments pose a similar or lower risk than normal shipping operations. High source-level equipment poses some risk to individual animals' hearing and so should be mitigated. Likewise, survey planning should be designed to avoid trapping animals in narrow, constricted sea ways. Long term, cumulative impacts are still difficult to detect in areas with greater anthropogenic noise than the Antarctic but we concluded that any possible long term impacts should be mitigated by maintaining the low levels of activity using high source-level equipment through data sharing and survey planning.

T1 - Understanding the role of land use in urban stormwater quality management
AN - 16205032; 6387243
AB - Urbanisation significantly impacts water environments with increased runoff and the degradation of water quality. The management of quantity impacts are straight forward, but quality impacts are far more complex. Current approaches to safeguard water quality are largely ineffective and guided by entrenched misconceptions with a primary focus on 'end-of-pipe' solutions. The outcomes of a research study presented in the paper, which investigated relationships between water quality and six different land uses offer practical guidance in the planning of future urban developments. In terms of safeguarding water quality, high-density residential development which results in a relatively smaller footprint would be the preferred option. The research study outcomes bring into question a number of fundamental concepts and misconceptions routinely accepted in stormwater quality management. The research findings confirmed the need to move beyond customary structural measures and identified the key role that urban planning can play in safeguarding urban water environments.

T1 - Multifractal characterization of Hong Kong air quality data
AN - 16195475; 6129059
AB - This article develops a theory for characterization of air quality data based on their measure representation. The measures are shown to be random cascades generated by an infinitely divisible distribution. This probability distribution is uniquely determined by the exponent K (q), q=>0, in the multifractal analysis of the cascade. The theory is applied to the SO sub(2), NO and NO sub(2) time series at seven locations of the Hong Kong Electric Co. monitoring network. The Gamma density function is demonstrated to give an excellent fit to the K (q) curve of each time series. This precise characterization therefore provides a needed tool for modelling pollution episodes as well as classification of the monitoring network.

T1 - Rainfall Simulation as a Tool for Urban Water Quality Research
AN - 16192973; 6223315
AB - This paper discusses the design of a rainfall simulator for undertaking urban water quality research. Currently there is limited understanding of many of the fundamental concepts relating to urban stormwater pollution. This can be primarily attributed to research studies being dependent on natural rainfall with its inherent high variability and the use of heterogenous urban areas. These factors can act as significant constraints to the transferability of research outcomes outside the study area. The proposed rainfall simulator has the potential to significantly enhance research outcomes, and has demonstrated its ability to successfully recreate the physical characteristics of natural rainfall. Rainfall simulation techniques used in agricultural research have been refined and made appropriate for use on paved surfaces. The procedures undertaken to calibrate its performance to match natural rainfall is described. It is important that the water used in the simulations is of a similar chemical quality to that of natural rainfall. This is because the chemical characteristics of rainfall can significantly influence the physicochemical characteristics of pollutants in runoff. A rainfall quality profile has been developed for the proposed study area using natural rainfall samples, and will form the basis for the chemical quality of the water used in simulations.

T1 - Assessment of Physical and Chemical Attributes of Sub-Tropical Soil to Predict Long Term Effluent Treatment Potential
AN - 16188626; 6248217
AB - On-site wastewater treatment systems aim to assimilate domestic effluent into the environment. Unfortunately failure of such systems is common and inadequate effluent treatment can have serious environmental implications. A research project was undertaken to determine the role of physical and chemical soil properties in the treatment performance of subsurface effluent disposal areas. Monitoring changes in these properties permits improved prediction of the treatment potential of a soil. The changes within soil properties of the disposal area due to effluent application were found to be directly related to the subsurface drainage characteristics, including permeability, clay content and clay type. The major controlling soil physical and chemical attributes were found to be moderate drainage, significant soil cation exchange capacity and dominance of exchangeable Ca or exchangeable Mg over exchangeable Na, low exchangeable Na, clay type and a minimum depth of 0.4 m of potential unsaturated soil before encountering a restrictive horizon. The study confirmed that both the physical properties and chemistry of the soil can be valuable predictive tools for evaluating the long term operation of sewage effluent disposal systems.

T1 - Removal of dyes from aqueous solution using fly ash and red mud
AN - 16188376; 6135508
AB - Fly ash and red mud have been employed as adsorbents for the removal of a typical basic dye, methylene blue, from aqueous solution. Heat treatment and chemical treatment have also been applied to the as-received fly ash and red mud samples. It is found that fly ash generally shows higher adsorption capacity than red mud. The raw fly ash and red mud show adsorption capacity at 1.4x10 super(- 5) and 7.8x10 super(-6) mol/g, respectively. Heat treatment reduces the adsorption capacity for both fly ash and red mud but acid treatment by HNO sub(3) induces a different effect on fly ash and red mud. Nitric acid treatment results in an increase in adsorption capacity of fly ash (2.4x10 super(-5) mol/g) while it decreases the adsorption capacity for red mud (3.2x10 super(-6) mol/g). The adsorption data have been analysed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich- Peterson isotherms. The results indicate that the Redlich-Peterson model provides the best correlation of the experimental data. Isotherms have also been used to obtain the thermodynamic parameters such as free energy, enthalpy and entropy of adsorption. For fly ash and red mud, adsorption of methylene blue is endothermic reaction with, H, at 76.1 and 10.8 kJ/mol, respectively.

T1 - Accelerating Research on Genes and Environment in Parkinson's Disease
AN - 14741672; 10680403
AB - The connection between potentially damaging environmental exposures and degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease is a relatively new concept. An overview is provided of the evolution of ideas and research on the cause of the disease, focusing in part on the initiative proposed in 2001 by NIEHS that has provided some money to investigate the geneenvironment interaction in Parkinson's disease. The aim of the program is to identify genetic and environmental factor interactions that contribute to the disease, develop a mechanistic understanding of how geneenvironment interactions trigger the pathophysiological processes than can produce the disease, and develop a knowledge base. The California Parkinson's Disease Registry is also described.

AN - 14741632; 10680395
AB - The history of the environmental justice movement is chronicled, beginning in traditional cultures and communities that have experienced environmental threats, particularly by people of color, women, and people who live in communities that are affected adversely by environmental problems created by industry and government. Science and the environmental justice movement share important objectives that provide grounds for a science of environmental justice, as the identification of hazardous agents and knowledge regarding how people become exposed can be of great value for self-protection, for pollution prevention, and for remediation, which are of great concern in communities facing environmental injustice. It is argued that the development of a democratic science of environmental justice will depend on the strength of communities working for social justice and transformation of the institutions that create environmental injustices.

T1 - Environmental Medicine: Where Are We and Where Do We Go from Here? (You Can't Navigate from Lost)
AN - 14739724; 10680397
AB - Environmental medicine is one of the oldest of medical practices in the modern era. Environmental medicine is related closely to toxicology, such that toxicology needs to think in terms of public health and become focused on what information is needed to better define public health. The role of NIEHS in furthering environmental medicine is explored, focusing on the importance of interventional epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, developmental genetics, and molecular mechanisms of toxicity.

T1 - Alternatives to Toxicity Testing in Animals: Challenges and Opportunities
AN - 14739496; 10680390
AB - The rapidly increasing amount of information being generated on basic biology and how it can be perturbed by exogenous agents is allowing the development of alternatives to toxicity testing in animals. An overview is provided of the development of such alternatives, such as the use of in vitro models. Three elements are identified and discussed that are needed to develop the alternatives: the basic biology of adverse responses to toxicants must be understood with sufficient mechanistic depth to support the selection of models and end-points; in vitro methodology must be developed that is amenable for toxicological applications; and the scientific basis and performance of assays in validation programs must be sufficiently robust to satisfy the scientific and regulatory communities.

T1 - Oceans and Human Health: a New Era of Environmental Opportunities
AN - 14738521; 10680402
AB - Ocean environments yield a number of nutraceuticals, food additives, and food products that directly or indirectly affect human health, and oceans and human-heath research has become one of the most interdisciplinary research areas in science. In concert with EPA, NIEHS has provided learning opportunities in the field by establishing the NIEHS/NSF Centers for Oceans and Human Health, which combines the biomedical and oceanographic sciences. The oldest of these sponsorships, the Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center program, is described, and each of the three primary themes of the NIEHS/NSF Centers for Oceans and Human Health is considered in turn. They include the use of marine organisms as models for biomedical research, the identification of harmful algal blooms and their bioactive metabolites, and the study of vector- and waterborne human diseases. The need for interagency cooperation in furthering oceans and human-health research is highlighted.

AB - The integration of genomic thinking into environmental health sciences has given rise to the science of toxicogenomics, which combines genetics, genomic-scale mRNA expression, protein expression, metabolic profiling, and bioinformatics with toxicology to understand the role of geneenvironment interactions in the progression of disease. The ways in which each of these disciplines fit into the geneenvironment interactions research agenda are explored briefly. As the research expands, cross-disciplinary training will become an essential element in finding new ways to design and interpret experiments and to integrate the findings into an existing body of knowledge.

T1 - Estimating the ExposureResponse Relationships Between Particulate Matter and Mortality Within the APHEA Multicity Project
AN - 14722171; 10674486
AB - The Air Pollution and Health-a European Approach (APHEA-2) project was a multi-center study that included 30 cities across Europe and associated regions. Data from the study were used to examine the exposureresponse relationship between airborne particles and daily deaths. The analysis was restricted to days with PM sub(10) >200 mu g/m super(3) and days with black smoke levels >150 mu g/m super(3). A hierarchic modeling approach, which is described, was utilized, and cubic splines were used to estimate nonlinear relations. Results indicated that the spline curves for both PM sub(10) and black smoke with total and cardiovascular mortality were roughly linear, while for respiratory mortality, evidence suggested a deviation from linearity in the lowest levels of the pollutant distribution. The association between particles and total and cardiovascular mortality was steeper in locations with hotter climates, high mean nitrogen dioxide levels, and lower standardized mortality rates. The exposureresponse curves for respiratory mortality were steeper in Eastern European cities.

T1 - Blood Lead Is a Predictor of Homocysteine Levels in a Population-Based Study of Older Adults
AN - 14722103; 10674477
AB - Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for vaso-occlusive disease. In selected subjects aged 5070 yr from Baltimore, MD, the associations of blood lead, tibia Pb, and homocysteine were examined using multiple linear regression. The mean blood Pb and homocysteine levels were 3.5 mu g/dl and 10.0 mu mol/l, respectively. Blood Pb and tibia Pb levels were correlated only modestly, while blood Pb and homocysteine were correlated moderately. Regression analysis revealed that a 1.0 mu g/dl increase in blood Pb was associated with a 0.35 mu mol/l increase in homocysteine levels, and the association was larger in males than in females. Tibia Pb was not associated with homocysteine levels.

T1 - Bone as a Possible Target of Chemical Toxicity of Natural Uranium in Drinking Water
AN - 14721707; 10674483
AB - In southern Finland where natural uranium concentrations are relatively high, the effects of U intake through drinking water on the biochemical markers of bone turnover were investigated. Water, urine, and nonfasting blood samples were collected in late 1999, and U in drinking water and urine was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Serum osteocalcin and amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen were used as indicators of bone formation, while serum type I collagen carboxy-terminal telopeptide (CTx) was used as an indicator of bone resorption. In men, U exposure tended to be associated with increased levels of CTx and, to a lesser degree, of osteocalcin, while no statistically significant associations with U exposure and the measured bone turnover markers were observed in women. Increased urinary excretion of calcium tended to be associated with increased CTx levels in men, but not in women.

T1 - Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Cognitive Abilities Among U.S. Children and Adolescents
AN - 14721231; 10674487
AB - Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to investigate the effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on children's cognitive skills, using serum cotinine as a biomarker of ETS exposure. Participants were administered two subsets of the Wide Range Achievement TestRevised, and serum cotinine levels greater than or equal to 15 ng/ml were used to identify the sample of children exposed to ETS but who were not active smokers. Results revealed a doseresponse relationship in which higher levels of ETS exposure were associated with greater deficits in reading, math, and visuospatial reasoning, but not with short-term memory. The estimated detriment appeared to be greater at lower serum cotinine levels. Reading ability was found to be especially sensitive to ETS exposure.

T1 - Dietary Fat Interacts with PCBs to Induce Changes in Lipid Metabolism in Mice Deficient in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor
AN - 14720991; 10674485
AB - Mice deficient in low-density lipoprotein receptor were used to explore the interaction of dietary fat with PCBs. The mice were divided into four treatment groups: olive oil-rich diet, olive oil-rich diet plus PCB injection, corn oil-rich diet, and corn oil-rich diet plus PCB injection. The animals were injected ip with PCB-77 or the vehicle at weeks one and three of the four-week feeding study. The resulting immunohistochemistry data demonstrated the cumulative effect of corn oil and PCB-77 on aortic vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression. Although olive oil-fed mice did not show expression of the adhesion molecule unless they were injected with PCBs, corn oil feeding alone already resulted in a strong staining for VCAM-1. Overall, lipid metabolism was affected to a greater extent in corn oil-fed animals as demonstrated by serum and liver lipid analyses.

T1 - Associations Among Lead Dose Biomarkers, Uric Acid, and Renal Function in Korean Lead Workers
AN - 14720925; 10674478
AB - Data from 803 current and former lead workers in South Korea were used to explore whether Pb biomarkers were associated with uric acid and whether uric acid levels were associated with renal function outcomes. None of the Pb measures was associated according to the results from linear regression modeling. Blood and tibia Pb, in separate models, were associated with uric acid in participants in the oldest age tertile, but both Pb associations decreased after additional adjustment for systolic blood pressure and renal function. Uric acid levels were associated in all renal outcome models except for N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosaminidase, and higher uric acid was associated with worse renal function as assessed by the clinical measures, but with lower retinol-binding protein. The overall results suggested that, at moderate levels of Pb exposure in the population, older workers comprised a susceptible population for increased uric acid.

T1 - Impacts of Co-Solvent Flushing on Microbial Populations Capable of Degrading Trichloroethylene
AN - 14720904; 10674481
AB - The effects of ethanol flushing over time on the numbers and activity of potential trichloroethylene-degrading microbial populations were investigated in soil from the former Sages Dry Cleaners site in Jacksonville, FL. Sulfate-reducing bacteria and type II methanotrophic bacteria were enriched successfully. Results from column studies showed that no methanogenesis occurred. Total counts of bacteria decreased in all flushed and nonflushed soil samples with time, but the flushed samples contained higher total counts of bacteria. Methanotrophic activity potential increased over time. The overall results indicated that ethanol flushing did not have a severe impact on the activities of sulfate-reducing and methanotrophic microorganisms over time.

T1 - Health-Related Benefits of Attaining the 8-Hr Ozone Standard
AN - 14719809; 10674484
AB - EPA has set the 8-h ozone standard at 80 ppb for the fourth highest daily maximum 8-h average occurring each year, averaged over a 3-yr period. Results are presented from a study in which the human-health benefits of attaining the standard were assessed, applying a damage function approach. Using data for 200002, monitored O sub(3) levels were assigned to populations to estimate population-level exposures. To demonstrate the benefits of attaining the standard, the ways in which O sub(3) levels would be reduced to bring the specific attainment metric down to the level of the standard were specified, and health impact functions were derived from the epidemiology literature. Willingness to pay was calculated for changes in risk of a health effect, including mortality, respiratory hospital admissions, asthma-related emergency department visits, minor restricted activity days, and school absences. Results suggest that moving from current monitored O sub(3) levels to full attainment of the 8-h standard could yield substantial health benefits associated with each of the targeted health effects, amounting to up to $5.7 billion averaged over the 3 yr.

T1 - Uptake and Elimination of Brevetoxin in Blood of Striped Mullet (Mugil cephalus) After Aqueous Exposure to Karenia brevis
AN - 14717233; 10674474
AB - Karenia brevis produces a family of neurotoxins collectively called brevetoxins, which have been linked to deaths in marine fish and mammals. In this study, striped mullet Mugil cephalus were exposed to simulated blooms of K. brevis in laboratory aquaria, and brevetoxin accumulation in blood was determined over various lengths of exposure to determine the kinetics of uptake. Depuration was also determined. The fish showed a nearly immediate uptake of brevetoxin into blood, rising to a peak between 8 and 12 h of exposure. The kinetics of brevetoxin accumulation after aqueous exposure to K. brevis cells also appeared to include intestinal adsorption. Brevetoxin was detectable in blood for several days after removal of the toxin, reflecting a low elimination rate.
