TY - JOUR T1 - The ICF as a framework for national data: the introduction of ICF into Australian data dictionaries. AN - 85377886; pmid-12959342 AB - A country's data may influence and inform its policy and services, if suitably designed. This paper describes how two related and interacting activities--work on disability concepts and classification as well as the preparation of national data dictionaries--have been carried out in Australia, with this purpose.Three key ingredients were combined. A broadly based advisory group was established to ensure the use of disability concepts that are meaningful not only to policy makers but also to the Australian community. This group advised on two 'twin' activities: participation in the revision of the key international classification for disability, and specification of data elements for a national data dictionary according to international standards.National data elements were developed, based on the Beta-2 draft ICIDH-2, and accepted for use in Australian national data dictionaries on a trial basis.The purpose and process have been accepted as valuable, and there is interested anticipation of new Australian standard data elements based on the ICF.

Systems are seen as either unconditionally or conditionally stable with little distinction and therefore much ambiguity in the likelihood of stability. First, we reexamine Hurwitz's principal theorem for stability and propose two "Hurwitz criteria" that address different aspects of instability: positive feedback and insufficient lower-level feedback. Second, we derive two qualitative metrics based on these criteria: weighted feedback (wF sub(n)) and weighted determinants (w Delta sub(n)). Third, we test the utility of these qualitative metrics through quantitative simulations in a random and evenly distributed parameter space in models of various sizes and complexities. Taken together they provide a practical means to assess the relative degree to which ambiguity has entered into calculations of stability as a result of system structure and complexity. From these metrics we identify two classes of models that may have significant relevance to system research and management. This work helps to resolve some of the impasse between theoretical and empirical discussions on the complexity and stability of natural communities.

Many of the substrate proteins secreted by type IV systems either hijack or interfere with specific host cell pathways. These substrates can be injected directly into host cells via the type IV apparatus or are secreted by the type IV machinery in a state that allows them to gain access to cellular targets without the further assistance of the type IV system. Arguably, the protein substrates of most type IV secretion systems remain undiscovered. Here, we review the activities of known type IV substrates and discuss the putative roles of unidentified substrates.

The rats were exposed for 2 h to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile phone electromagnetic fields of different strengths. The exposed animals exhibited several albumin-positive foci around the finer blood vessels in white and gray matter, showing that the albumin had spread in the tissue between the cell bodies and surrounded neurons. Scattered neurons not associated with albumin leakage between the neurons were also positive. The cortex as well as the hippocampus and the basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats contained damaged neurons. A significant positive relation was noted between electomagnetic field dosage and the number of dark neurons.

Arsenic speciation in the urine samples was performed as metabolic indices to measure the stepwise methylation capacity. Arsenic concentrations were also measured in soil and house dust collected from a random subsample of the study subjects' households. A significant, but weak, association was discerned between As in soil and urinary total As. In subjects living in the vicinity of the plant, urinary total As concentrations were significantly higher than controls, based on elevated concentrations of the methylated As species. The consumption of homegrown fruits and vegetables was associated with significantly elevated monomethylarsonic acid.

Considered are the precautionary principle, which puts into policy a determination to prevent environmental damage before it occurs, and natural capitalism and industrial ecology, which advocate going beyond prevention of environmental damage to a goal of optimizing environmental systems. Several tools have been developed to implement these new paradigms, including both interdisciplinary and large-scale research combined with the traditional tools used in risk assessment. It is argued that thresholds and biologic monitoring are useful tools, especially when used in conjunction with the precautionary principle, but their use requires a clear statement of what human society is attempting to optimize.

AN - 73278328; 12767649 AB - The Australian Intervention Randomized Control of Rate in Atrial Fibrillation Trial was a multicenter trial of atrioventricular junction ablation and pacing (AVJAP) compared with pharmacologic ventricular rate control (medication [MED]) in patients with mild to moderately symptomatic permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). There have been very few prospective randomized trials, undertaken in highly symptomatic patients, comparing AVJAP with pharmacologic methods of ventricular rate control for patients with permanent AF. There were 99 patients (70 men, mean age 68 +/- 8.6 years) at five centers. Forty-nine patients were randomized to AVJAP while 50 patients were randomized to pharmacologic control. The primary end point was cardiac function measured by echocardiography and exercise tolerance. The secondary end points were ventricular rate control, evaluated by 24-h ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring, and quality of life. Data were collected at randomization and then at one month, six months, and 12 months post-randomization. At 12 months follow-up there was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (AVJAP: 54 +/- 17%; MED: 61 +/- 13% [p = ns]) or exercise duration on treadmill testing (AVJAP: 4.1 +/- 2 min; MED: 4.6 +/- 2 min [p = ns]); however, the peak ventricular rate was lower in the AVJAP group during exercise (112 +/- 17 beats/min vs. 153 +/- 36 beats/min, p < 0.05) and activities of daily life (117 +/- 16 beats/min vs. 152 +/- 37 beats/min, p < 0.05). The CAST quality-of-life questionnaire revealed that patients in the AVJAP group had fewer symptoms at six months (p = 0.003) and at 12 months (p = 0.004). The observed relative risk reduction in symptoms at 12 months was 18%. Global subjective semiquantitative measurement of quality of life using the "ladder of life" revealed that the AVJAP group reported a 6% better quality of life at six months (p = 0.011). In this trial, AVJAP for patients with mild to moderately symptomatic permanent AF did not worsen cardiac function during long-term follow-up, and quality of life was improved.

AN - 73437490; 12830894 AB - The electrokinetic chromatographic (EKC) separation of a series of aromatic bases was achieved utilising an electrolyte system comprising an anionic soluble polymer (polyvinylsulfonic acid, PVS) and a neutral beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as pseudo-stationary phases. The separation mechanism was based on a combination of electrophoresis, ion-exchange interactions with PVS, and hydrophobic interactions with beta-CD. The extent of each chromatographic interaction was independently variable, allowing for control of the separation selectivity of the system. The ion-exchange and the hydrophobic interactions could be varied by changing the PVS and the beta-CD concentrations, respectively. Additionally, mobilities of the bases could be controlled by varying pH, due to their large range of pKa values. The separation system was very robust with reproducibility of migration times being <2% RSD. The two-dimensional parameter space defined by the two variables, [beta-CD] and %PVS, was modelled using a physical model derived from first principles. This model gave very good correlation between predicted and observed mobilities (r2=0.999) for the 13 aromatic bases and parameters derived from the model agreed with the expected ion-exchange and hydrophobic character of each analyte. The complexity of the mathematical model was increased to include pH and this three-dimensional system was modelled successfully using an artificial neural network (ANN). Optimisation of both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems was achieved using the normalised resolution product and minimum resolution criteria.

Both the tnpA gene and the inverted repeats resemble the Tn610 transposon from Mycobacterium fortuitum. Two additional putative open reading frames separate opdA and tnpA with inferred translation products with similarity to two proteins encoded on the Geobacillus stearothermophilus IS5376 transposon. To test the proposition that these genes were contained on a transposon, an artificial composite transposon was constructed. This artificial transposon was then delivered into Escherichia coli DH10 beta cells. Transposition was demonstrated by the presence of opdA on the E. coli chromosome and confirmation of insertion by inverse polymerase chain reaction. The data presented suggest a possible role of transposition in the distribution of the opd/opdA genes across a wide range of soil bacteria.

Many of the tools that will be needed to fulfill the requirements of these policies are still in an early stage of development. One such tool is trophic ecosystem modeling. These models have been put forward to aid system-level understanding and provide insight into the potential impacts of human activities. Despite this, there are many gaps in knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses. In particular, little is known about the effect of the level of detail in a model on its performance. There has been some consideration of the effects of model formulation, as well as the effects of the physical, biological and chemical scope of multispecies and ecosystem models on their performance. A review of existing research indicates that there is a humped relationship between model detail and performance for these models, and that there are some guiding principles to consider during model development. This review gives some insight into which model structures and assumptions are likely to aid understanding and management, and which may be unnecessary. Further, it provides some understanding of whether some models can capture properties of real systems that other models cannot. The main recommendation is that the use of a single 'ultimate' ecosystem model is ill-advised, while the comparative and confirmatory use of multiple 'minimum-realistic' models is strongly recommended.

All tau-positive tangles were stained for thioflavine S, while approximately 84% of thioflavine S-stained tangles were tau-immunolabelled. Approximately 58-62% and 73-76% of thioflavine S- and tau-labelled tangles, respectively, were present within cortical neurons labelled for microtubule-associated protein-2. Thus, most neocortical tangles in Alzheimer's disease are intracellular and may not be the principal cause of neocortical cell loss.

References 252 Chaperonins are megadalton ring assemblies that mediate essential ATP-dependent assistance of protein folding to the native state in a variety of cellular compartments, including the mitochondrial matrix, the eukaryotic cytosol, and the bacterial cytoplasm. Structural studies of the bacterial chaperonin, GroEL, both alone and in complex with its co-chaperonin, GroES, have resolved the states of chaperonin that bind and fold non-native polypeptides. Functional studies have resolved the action of ATP binding and hydrolysis in driving the GroEL-GroES machine through its folding-active and binding-active states, respectively. Yet the exact fate of substrate polypeptide during these steps is only poorly understood. For example, while binding involves multivalent interactions between hydrophobic side-chains facing the central cavity of GroEL and exposed hydrophobic surfaces of the non-native protein, the structure of any polypeptide substrate while bound to GroEL remains unknown. It is also unclear whether binding to an open GroEL ring is accompanied by structural changes in the non-native substrate, in particular whether there is an unfolding action. As a polypeptide-bound ring becomes associated with GroES, do the large rigid-body movements of the GroEL apical domains serve as another source of a potential unfolding action? Regarding the encapsulated folding-active state, how does the central cavity itself influence the folding trajectory of a substrate? Finally, how do GroEL and GroES serve, as recently recognized, to assist the folding of substrates too large to be encapsulated inside the machine? Here, such questions are addressed with the findings available to date, and means of further resolving the states of chaperonin-associated polypeptide are discussed.

In this study we investigated whether septic system density was associated with endemic diarrheal illness in children. Cases-children 1 to < 19 years old seeking medical care for acute diarrhea-and controls resided in the Marshfield Epidemiologic Study Area, a population-based cohort in central Wisconsin. Enrollment was from February 1997 through September 1998. Study participants completed a structured interview, and septic system density was determined from county sanitary permits. Household wells were sampled for bacterial pathogens and indicators of water sanitary quality. Risk factors were assessed for cases grouped by diarrhea etiology. In multivariate analyses, viral diarrhea was associated with the number of holding tank septic systems in the 640-acre section surrounding the case residence [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-1.15; p = 0.008], and bacterial diarrhea was associated with the number of holding tanks per 40-acre quarter-quarter section (AOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.02-1.46; p = 0.026). Diarrhea of unknown etiology was independently associated with drinking from a household well contaminated with fecal enterococci (AOR, 6.18; 95% CI, 1.22-31.46; p = 0.028). Septic system densities were associated with endemic diarrheal illness in central Wisconsin. The association should be investigated in other regions, and standards for septic systems should be evaluated to ensure that the public health is protected.

Data from the literature were used to assign statistical distributions to swimming pool chloroform concentrations, frequency and duration of swimming, showering and bathing, and average tap water consumption. Measured increases in blood chloroform concentrations after these activities were used to estimate average uptake per microgram per liter chloroform in the water, per minute spent in the activity or per liter consumed. Given average tap water chloroform concentrations from a U.K. epidemiologic study, an average daily uptake over 90 days was simulated for 300,000 mothers. The correlation between simulated uptakes and home tap chloroform concentration was 0.6. Mothers who swam regularly received far greater doses than did nonswimmers. Results suggest there will be considerable attenuation in risk estimates and/or power loss in epidemiologic studies if the putative agent is chloroform.

We carried out a 4-month, randomized controlled trial of a diet and physical activity program for couples with a 1-year follow-up, comparing two methods of delivery. The program used six modules, which, after an initial group session, were mailed to the low-level intervention group. In the high-level intervention group, half of the modules were mailed, and the others were delivered at interactive group sessions. A control group received no intervention. Postintervention and at follow-up, physical fitness improved in the high-level group, saturated fat intake decreased in both intervention groups, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol fell in the high-level group. Fewer participants in the high-level group became overweight or obese. Health promotion for couples can improve health behaviors and potentially lower the risk of lifestyle diseases in participants and their future families.

The Archean Yilgarn craton underlies the upper 70% of the river catchment (by area) and detrital zircons from sands in this region are characterized by a unimodal ~2.7 Ga age signature. The lower part of the river catchment flows over the Mesoproterozoic Albany-Fraser orogen and input from this source results in progressive downstream masking of Yilgarn detritus so that in the most downstream samples this source constitutes only 25% of the detrital zircon age spectrum. The Frankland River age data indicate that the lower portions of the drainage system did not form a non-erosive pathway for sediment flux but rather basement lithologies were a continuing source of sediment yield. This probably reflects rejuvenation and incision of the lower reaches of the river system in response to a drop in baseline and possible sequestering of Yilgarn detritus in upstream reservoirs along the broad open mid-region valleys of the river system. These data emphasize that in ancient orogens, where the link between source and sample site is often not preserved, care needs to be exercised in relating detrital zircon age signature to interpretations of source distribution and paleogeographic reconstructions.

An Assessment of the Role of Vegetation Sinks as Part of the Global Carbon Cycle AN - 18902440; 5626400 AB - Atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations can be reduced by storing carbon in vegetation. However, this lowers the concentration gradient between the atmosphere and other potential carbon reservoirs, such as the oceans, and thereby reduces the subsequent inherent rate of removal of CO sub(2) from the atmosphere. Hence, storage of carbon in temporary reservoirs can reduce atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations in the short term, but if the carbon is released again, it will increase concentrations in the long term. It must, therefore, be considered when, or, indeed whether, to store carbon in vegetation sinks. To determine an optimal strategy, the exact nature of climate-change impacts needs to be considered first. Impacts can be mediated by: 1. the direct and instantaneous effect of CO sub(2) and its associated temperature; 2. the rate of change in CO sub(2) and its associated temperature; 3. the cumulative effect of CO sub(2) and its associated temperature.Carbon stored in permanently maintained vegetation sinks can lower atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations, but this can be done most effectively if sequestration occurs close to the time when atmospheric concentrations are to be lowered. Similarly, maximal rates of change can be most effectively reduced by carbon sequestration close to the time of anticipated maximal rates of change. For reducing impacts via cumulative forcing, however, early sink activity would be more effective than delayed activity. Temporary carbon stores would only be beneficial for climate change impacts related to the cumulative impact of CO sub(2), but it could even worsen impacts mediated via the instantaneous effect of temperature or those related to the rate of change. Hence, the planting of trees is only beneficial in reducing climate-change impacts if the most serious impacts are those related to the cumulative effect of increased temperature. If other impacts are more serious, then the planting of trees would bring greater benefits if it is delayed until closer to the time when the most severe impacts are to be expected. However, if serious land degradation would result from deforestation, or from a failure to plant trees in the near future, then trees should still be planted in order to maximise the amount of carbon stored on land.

This study assessed the utility of expired nitric oxide to detect acute airway responses to metal-containing fine particulates. Using a repeated-measures study design, we investigated the association between the fractional concentration of expired nitric oxide (F sub(E)NO) and exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic mass median diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 mu m (PM sub(2.5)) in boilermakers exposed to residual oil fly ash and metal fumes. Subjects were monitored for 5 days during boiler repair overhauls in 1999 (n = 20) or 2000 (n = 14). The Wilcoxon median baseline F sub(E)NO was 10.6 ppb [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.1, 12.7] in 1999 and 7.4 ppb (95% CI: 6.7, 8.0) in 2000. The Wilcoxon median PM sub(2.5) 8-hr time-weighted average was 0.56 mg/m super(3) (95% CI: 0.37, 0.93) in 1999 and 0.86 mg/m super(3) (95% CI: 0.65, 1.07) in 2000. F sub(E)NO levels during the workweek were significantly lower than baseline F sub(E)NO in 1999 (p < 0.001). A significant inverse exposure-response relationship between log-transformed F sub(E)NO and the previous workday's PM sub(2.5) concentration was found in 1999, after adjusting for smoking status, age, and sampling year. With each 1 mg/m super(3) incremental increase in PM sub(2.5) exposure, log F sub(E)NO decreased by 0.24 (95% CI: -0.38, -0.10) in 1999. The lack of an exposure-response relationship between PM sub(2.5) exposure and F sub(E)NO in 2000 could be attributable to exposure misclassification resulting from the use of respirators. In conclusion, occupational exposure to metal-containing fine particulates was associated with significant decreases in F sub(E)NO in a survey of workers with limited respirator usage.

To investigate the possible role of PM-induced abnormalities in the small airways in these functional changes, we examined histologic sections from the lungs of 20 women from Mexico City, a high PM locale. All subjects were lifelong residents of Mexico City, were never-smokers, never had occupational dust exposure, and never used biomass fuel for cooking. Twenty neversmoking, non-dust-exposed subjects from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a low PM region, were used as a control. By light microscopy, abnormal small airways with fibrotic walls and excess muscle, many containing visible dust, were present in the Mexico City lungs. Formal grading analysis confirmed the presence of significantly greater amounts of fibrous tissue and muscle in the walls of the airways in the Mexico City compared with the Vancouver lungs. Electron microscopic particle burden measurements on four cases from Mexico City showed that carbonaceous aggregates of ultrafine particles, aggregates likely to be combustion products, were present in the airway mucosa. We conclude that PM penetrates into and is retained in the walls of small airways, and that, even in nonsmokers, long-term exposure to high levels of ambient particulate pollutants is associated with small airway remodeling. This process may produce chronic airflow obstruction.

The turbulent nature of the ocean combined with the imprecision of run and tumble chemotaxis has led to the assumption that marine bacteria cannot cluster around microscopic point sources. Recent work, however, shows that marine bacteria use a run and reverse strategy. We examine the ability of marine bacteria that use run and reverse chemotaxis to respond to and follow a moving point source. The addition of the 6 mu m in diameter motile algae Pavlova lutheri to cultures of the marine bacteria Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis and Shewanella putrefaciens revealed bacterial tracking individual free-swimming algae. The marine bacteria travelled at up to 445 mu m s super(-1) when tracking, up to 237 mu m s super(-1) when not tracking and up to 126 mu m s super(-1) in cultures without the algae. Tracking maintained bacteria within one run length of an alga. The bacteria appeared able to steer, consecutively turning up to 12 times toward the motile algae. They recovered from the occasional incorrect turn to continue moving around the swimming alga, indicating that marine bacteria can track moving point sources and form transient phyto- bacterial associations. Our analysis suggests tracking increases nutrient uptake by bringing cells into regions of high nutrient concentrations and by increased advection from high speeds. This result describes what is, apparently, one of the tightest spatial and temporal links between free-living primary and secondary producers in planktonic ecosystems.

A statistically significant (p = 0.02) trend was found in total cancer mortality with increasing dioxin exposure. The trend tests show an increase in total cancer at cumulative TEQ (unit of measurement for TCDD-like compounds that is defined as the amount of TCDD that would produce the same toxicity as a mixture of TCDD-like compounds) serum levels that would result from lifetime intake of 7 pg TEQ/kg body weight/day, with no increase at 6 pg/kg/day. A linear dose response provided a good fit to the combined data and predicted an ED sub(01) (dioxin exposure resulting in a 0.01 increase in lifetime risk of cancer mortality) of 45 pg/kg/day (95% confidence interval, 21-324). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that current lifetime human exposures to dioxin average approximately 1 pg/kg/day (99% percentile: 3 pg/kg/day). Although it appears unlikely that current exposures through foods would reach either 7 pg/kg/day or the ED sub(01), our analysis argues for careful consideration of the upper ranges of long-term average exposures for dioxins.

The study sample included 1,706 girls 8-16 years old with pubic hair and breast development information; 1,235 girls 10-16 years old supplied information on menarche. Blood lead concentrations (range = 0.7-21.7 mu g/dL) were categorized into three levels: 0.7-2.0, 2.1-4.9, and 5.0-21.7 mu g/dL. Sexual maturation markers included self-reported attainment of menarche and physician determined Tanner stage 2 pubic hair and breast development. Girls who had not reached menarche or stage 2 pubic hair had higher blood lead levels than did girls who had. For example, among girls in the three levels of blood lead described above, the unweighted percentages of 10-year-olds who had attained Tanner stage 2 pubic hair were 60.0, 51.2, and 44.4%, respectively, and for girls 12 years old who reported reaching menarche, the values were 68.0, 44.3, and 38.5%, respectively. The negative relation of blood lead levels with attainment of menarche or stage 2 pubic hair remained significant in logistic regression even after adjustment for race/ethnicity, age, family size, residence in metropolitan area, poverty income ratio, and body mass index. In conclusion, higher blood lead levels were significantly associated with delayed attainment of menarche and pubic hair among U.S. girls, but not with breast development.

Understanding temporal changes in PCB body burden is crucial for evaluating exposure levels and augmenting validity of studies investigating their relationship to adverse health effects. Using data collected from 1980 to 1995, we evaluated longitudinal changes in serum PCB levels among 179 fisheaters and non-fisheaters of the Michigan Fisheater Cohort. Participants identified as fisheaters in 1980 ate 26 lb or more of sport-caught fish per year, whereas non-fisheaters ate less than 6 lb per year. We found a monotonic decline in serum PCB levels among all participants from a mean value of 24 ppb in 1980 to 12 ppb in 1994. This was paralleled by an 83% decrease in mean fish consumption among all participants over the same period. We combined demographic, lifestyle, and fish consumption information with PCB data and evaluated the data using regression models to identify predictors of PCB body burden over a 16-year period. Results of the mixed-effects linear regression model suggest that consumption of Lake Michigan fish before 1980, amount of sport-caught fish eaten in the past year, age, and year of data collection were significant determinants of current PCB body burden over the 16 year study period. PCB levels were particularly elevated for males who were classified as fisheaters in 1980, which may reflect higher levels of sport-caught fish consumption compared with female fisheaters.

Surviving subjects also completed a morbidity questionnaire. Mortality was significantly higher in both exposed and control subjects compared with the Australian population. The major cause was mortality from smoking-related diseases. Mortality was also significantly increased in exposed subjects for a number of conditions that do not appear to be the result of smoking patterns. Compared with the general Australian population, mortality over the total study period was increased for asthma [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) = 3.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.39-7.10] and for diabetes (SMR = 3.57; 95% CI, 1.16-8.32 for subjects working < 5 years). Mortality from pancreatic cancer was more frequent in subjects exposed to 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (SMR = 5.27; 95% CI, 1.09-15.40 for subjects working < 3 years). Compared with the control population, mortality from leukemia was increased in subjects working with more modern chemicals (standardized incidence ratio = 20.90; 95% CI, 1.54-284.41 for myeloid leukemia in the highest exposure group). There was also an increase in self-reported chronic illness and asthma, and lower neuropsychologic functioning scores among surviving exposed subjects when compared with controls. Diabetes was reported more commonly by subjects reporting occupational use of herbicides. These findings lend weight to other studies suggesting an association between adverse health effects and exposure to pesticides.

We examined whether mercury dental amalgams are adversely associated with cognitive functioning in a cross-sectional sample of healthy working adults. We studied 550 adults, 30-49 years of age, who were not occupationally exposed to mercury. Participants were representative of employees at a major urban medical center. Each participant underwent a neuropsychologic test battery, a structured questionnaire, a modified dental examination, and collection of blood and urine samples. Mercury exposure was assessed using a) urinary mercury concentration (UHg); b) the total number of amalgam surfaces; and c) the number of occlusal amalgam surfaces. Linear regression analysis was used to estimate associations between each marker of mercury exposure and each neuropsychologic test, adjusting for potential confounding variables. Exposure levels were relatively low. The mean UHg was 1.7 mu g/g creatinine (range, 0.09-17.8); the mean total number of amalgam surfaces was 10.6 (range, 0-46) and the mean number of occlusal amalgam surfaces was 6.1 (range, 0-19). No measure of exposure was significantly associated with the scores on any neuropsychologic test in analyses that adjusted for the sampling design and other covariates. In a sample of healthy working adults, mercury exposure derived from dental amalgam restorations was not associated with any detectable deficits in cognitive or fine motor functioning.

We found that ontogeny is a major factor affecting this insect. Its importance rivaled leaf physiological age, a well-documented factor, which served as our standard for judging the relative importance of other effects. Three patterns emerged: (1) In the field, beetle feeding was nine times greater in the adult zone than in the juvenile zone of heteroblastic trees (i.e., trees with both adult and juvenile foliage). (2) Laboratory feeding trials confirmed their strong preference for adult foliage. (3) Although eucalypt species, hybrid cross type (F sub(1), F sub(2), and backcrosses), and canopy height also exhibited significant effects on beetle feeding in laboratory trials, their relative importance was much less than ontogeny and leaf physiological age. We conclude that beetles perceive greater variation in host quality within individual plants than between different eucalypt species and their hybrids. The magnitude of these effects argues that ontogeny may rival other better studied plant traits that affect herbivores. We discuss how genetic regulation of phenotypic expression in plants may affect herbivore populations and structure communities.

Four classes of 86 grade 8 students (53 boys and 33 girls), mean age of 13 years, were randomly assigned to either a control condition or one of the two intervention conditions. Assessment of general and specific risk factors was carried out at baseline, postintervention and 3-month follow-up. At postintervention the media literacy group had lower mean scores on weight concern than the control group (p = 0.007) but the self-esteem group did not. There were some differences on self-esteem measures at the 3-month follow-up. Media literacy programs combined with an interactive, student-centered framework may potentially be a safe and effective way of reducing risk factors for eating disorders. The impact of teaching style needs to be further evaluated in prevention research.

To investigate stresses in cage type interbody fusion systems during compressive loading. Design. The study uses finite element methods to investigate predicted stresses. Previously published experimental material properties are used as inputs to the numerical simulation. Background. Interbody spinal fusion procedures using cage style intervertebral implants often cause subsidence failure of the vertebral endplate, resulting in potential pain and mechanical instability of the fusion system. Methods. Finite element models were developed to simulate compressive load transfer between interbody implants and adjacent vertebral body. The vertebral body was modelled using separate finite element mesh regions for cancellous core and cortical shell, with the meshes tied together at the core/shell interface. Coulomb friction was implemented to model the contact between implants and vertebral endplate. Results. Simulation results predicted endplate stresses of approximately 12 times the nominal contact pressure due to differing deformation stiffnesses of the implant and endplate structures. Reduction of the cancellous core elastic modulus to simulate severely osteoporotic bone resulted in endplate stresses up to three times higher than the values for an intact cancellous core. Conclusions. In this study, finite element analysis was used to investigate the stresses in interbody fusion systems. Published vertebral loads corresponding to certain activities were shown to generate endplate stresses which approach and exceed the failure stress for cortical bone. Endplate stresses are strongly dependent on the modulus of the underlying cancellous core.

The model, SPAnDX, describes the interactions between riparian and upland sub-populations of A. nilotica within livestock paddocks, including the effects of extrinsic factors such as temperature, soil moisture availability and atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. The model includes the effects of management events such as changing the livestock species or stocking rate, applying fire, and herbicide application. The predicted population behaviour of A. nilotica was sensitive to climate. Using 35 years daily weather datasets for five representative sites spanning the range of conditions that A. nilotica is found in Australia, the model predicted biomass levels that closely accord with expected values at each site. SPAnDX can be used as a decision- support tool in integrated weed management, and to explore the sensitivity of cultural management practices to climate change throughout the range of A. nilotica. The cohort-based DYMEX modelling package used to build and run SPAnDX provided several advantages over more traditional population modelling approaches (e.g. an appropriate specific formalism (discrete time, cohort-based, process-oriented), user-friendly graphical environment, extensible library of reusable components, and useful and flexible input/output support framework).

Whether similar disturbances occur under field conditions remains to be confirmed. Lake Apopka, Florida, is contaminated with numerous chemicals, some of which possess endocrine-disrupting activity. Male mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) were collected monthly from December 2000 through May 2001 from Lake Apopka and two nearby reference lakes, Orange Lake and Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. Selected sexual characteristics were compared temporally and among lakes during the collection period. Male fish from Lake Apopka had slightly shorter gonopodia and on average 32 and 47% fewer sperm cells per milligram testis, when compared with the fish collected from Orange Lake and Lake Woodruff, respectively. The testes weights increased markedly during spring, with significantly smaller testes in fish from Lake Apopka than from Orange Lake, but surprisingly, the smallest testes occurred in males obtained from the Lake Woodruff population. The highest liver weights were found in the Lake Apopka population. Whole-body concentrations of testosterone and estradiol varied among months; the peak testosterone concentration occurred in January and was significantly lower in male fish from Lake Apopka compared with Orange Lake. The intensity of male courtship behavior was highly correlated to body testosterone concentration, but no statistically significant differences in sexual behavior among the lakes were found. We conclude that sexual characteristics of relevance to male reproductive capacity are altered in the Lake Apopka mosquitofish population, and we discuss the presence of chemicals with antiandrogenic effects in Lake Apopka as a possible cause of the observed alterations.

Our prior research has shown widespread pesticide use during pregnancy among this urban minority cohort from New York City. We also measured eight pesticides in 48-hr personal air samples collected from the mothers during pregnancy. The following seven pesticides were detected in 48-83% of plasma samples (range, 1-270 pg/g): the organophosphates chlorpyrifos and diazinon, the carbamates bendiocarb and 2-isopropoxyphenol (metabolite of propoxur), and the fungicides dicloran, phthalimide (metabolite of folpet and captan), and tetrahydrophthalimide (metabolite of captan and captafol). Maternal and cord plasma levels were similar and, except for phthalimide, were highly correlated (p < 0.001). Chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and propoxur were detected in 100% of personal air samples (range, 0.7-6,010 ng/m super(3)). Diazinon and propoxur levels were significantly higher in the personal air of women reporting use of an exterminator, can sprays, and/or pest bombs during pregnancy compared with women reporting no pesticide use or use of lower toxicity methods only. A significant correlation was seen between personal air level of chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and propoxur and levels of these insecticides or their metabolites in plasma samples (maternal and/or cord, p < 0.05). The fungicide ortho-phenylphenol was also detected in 100% of air samples but was not measured in plasma. The remaining 22 pesticides were detected in 0-45% of air or plasma samples. Chlorpyrifos, diazinon, propoxur, and bendiocarb levels in air and/or plasma decreased significantly between 1998 and 2001. Findings indicate that pesticide exposures are frequent but decreasing and that the pesticides are readily transferred to the developing fetus during pregnancy.

A summary is provided of analyses of human fetal exposure to multiple chemicals, which has focused on toxicogenomic analyses of human umbilical cords. Multiple chemicals and toxicants were detected in more than 50% of the umbilical cords investigated, including: dioxins, PCBs, DDTs, aldrin, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorocyclohexanes, heavy metals, bisphenol A, and phytoestrogens. The concentrations were found to be higher in first-born babies than in second- or third-born babies. Toxicogenomic analysis is being applied to the data using DNA microarray to develop a new risk-assessment method to evaluate the effects of the chemicals. The steps being used to develop the new risk-assessment method are outlined, and the technical problems and socioethical issues that need to be resolved are elucidated and discussed.

At an international meeting and workshop convened in April 2002, agendas were developed in five key areas, each of which is described: bioinformatics, new technology, the plasma proteome, cell models and tissues, and the antibody initiative. A major goal of the organization will be the mapping of 5000 human proteins, and a major challenge will be the development of a strategy to integrate tissue transcript and protein expression datasets. Ultimately, the organization will examine the interaction and effects of the environment on the proteome, focusing on xenobiotic exposures to toxicity and their contribution to human disease.

One aim of the center will be the creation of a public database on the environmental effects of toxic substances in biological systems, called the Chemical Effects in Biological Systems (CEBS) knowledge base. The conceptual framework of the proposed CEBS knowledge base is outlined, focusing on some major design considerations. Development of the database is being envisioned in four phases: collection of microarray gene expression, toxicology, and pathology data; incorporation of corresponding proteomics data sets with similar annotation and bioinformatics tools; integration of gene, protein, and metabolite databases for metabolic and functional pathway discovery; and the addition to two additional databases, one on gene and protein groups and another on single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Treatments were chosen for both cell types that did not cause overt signs of toxicity, except for the highest dose of As. The genes affected by metal exposure are tabulated, which show that each treatment modified expression of a largely unique set of genes, although there was some overlap. Exposure to the toxic metals modified expression of only a small subset of the 1200 total genes examined, and the genes that were altered commonly by more than one treatment were changed in the same direction in terms of increased or decreased expression.

The genes examined were a subset of all genes inducible by 17 beta -estradiol, which were isolated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in screening experiments where approximately 18% of RNA messages expressed in the livers of the fish were tested. The array also contained several constitutive genes. Results showed similar expression patterns for the estrogen-responsive genes in the array. Fish exposed to 17 beta -estradiol, 17 alpha -ethinyl estradiol, diethylstilbestrol, and methoxychlor had identical genetic signatures for the 30 genes examined, while fish exposed to p-nonylphenol differed by the increased expression of one additional cDNA clone. Six genes were upregulated, and three were downregulated.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Select Education of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, One Hundred Eighth Congress, First Session. AN - 62174521; ED480613 AB - These hearings transcripts compile testimony regarding how programs authorized by the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act and the Missing Children's Assistance Act currently operate, in preparation for upcoming reauthorization. Opening statements by U.S. Representatives Peter Hoekstra (Michigan) and Ruben Hinojosa (Texas) underscore the obligation to protect runaway and homeless youth and provide assistance to families and law enforcement agencies in locating and recovering missing and exploited children. Testimony offered by the President of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children updated the Center's activities relevant to the mandates of the Missing Children's Assistance Act of 1984 and shared recommendations for the reauthorization, focusing on additions to its originally-mandated activities such as handling Internet child pornography and international child abduction cases, and the importance of the private sector in their work. The Managing Director of the Latin American Youth Center provided information on services to homeless Latino youth in the District of Columbia, highlighting the need for bilingual staff and making recommendations for program improvement. A formerly homeless youth who is currently working toward independent living and a college degree offered testimony on his experiences living on the street in the District of Columbia and explained how Covenant House had helped him. Questions for witnesses related to recruiting bilingual professionals, how diverse activities are coordinated, waiting lists for homeless services, the need for additional funding, the involvement of law enforcement and its interaction with social service providers, and the problem of the vast majority of runaways having no one looking for them. The transcripts' seven appendices contain written statements from witnesses and others and the findings of a statewide survey of homeless youth in Minnesota.

The new model, based on 236 growth rate data, combines and extends previously published square root-type models and incorporates terms for upper and lower limiting temperatures, upper and lower limiting pH, minimum inhibitory concentrations of dissociated and undissociated lactic acid and lower limiting water activity. A term to describe upper limiting water activity was developed but could not be fitted to the E. coli data set because of the difficulty of generating data in the super-optimal water activity range (i.e. >0.998). All data used to generate the model are presented. The model provides an excellent description of the experimental data.

[Int. J. Food Microbiol. (2002).]. Predicted generation times from the model were compared to the literature data using bias and accuracy factors, graphical comparisons and plots of residuals for data obtained from both liquid growth media and foods. The model predicted well for 1025 growth rate estimates reported in the literature after poor quality or unrepresentative data (n=215) was excluded, with a bias factor of 0.92, and an accuracy factor of 1.29. In a detailed comparison to two other predictive modes for E. coli growth, Pathogen Modeling Program (PMP) and Food MicroModel (FMM), the new model generally performed better. The new model consistently gave better predictions than the other models at generation times [less-than or equal to]5 h. Inclusion of the lactic acid term in the model is proposed to account for the consistently good performance of the model for comparisons to growth in meat, a parameter that is not explicitly included in the other models considered in the comparisons.

Mean survival of H. scabra at the mangrove-seagrass sites was 95-100% 1 h after release and approximated 70% 3 days later. At the coral reef flat sites, however, mean survival was as low as 37.5% 1 h after release and total mortality occurred in two of the three releases within 48 h. Mortality of the juvenile H. scabra was due mainly to predation by fish in the families Balistidae, Labridae, Lethrinidae and Nemipteridae. Survival of juvenile H. scabra was improved significantly by releasing them within a cage of 8-mm mesh. This procedure resulted in 100% survival of juveniles in the coral reef flat habitat during the course of the experiment. Our data indicate that mangrove-seagrass areas should be suitable habitats for release of cultured juvenile sandfish in restocking and stock enhancement programs. Release of sandfish at night, to coincide with the time they emerge during their inherent diel burrowing cycle, and the short-term use of protective cages, should be investigated to improve survival of individuals released in mangrove-seagrass habitats.

One important form of disturbance is wave action associated with strong winds. Total fish abundance and species richness from seagrass beds at 2 sites in Port Phillip Bay, Australia, were sampled during low and high wave disturbance. During high wave action (>0.25 m) in seagrass beds, abundance of fish at one site decreased significantly, but species richness was unaffected at both sites. Plankton sampling conducted at the same time as seagrass sampling (directly 300 m offshore from the seagrass sites) found that species richness significantly increased during high wave conditions at both sites. Total fish abundance similarly increased in the plankton during high wave conditions at one site. We conclude that variation in assemblage structure during increased physical disturbance is related to variation in a small number of numerically dominant species within the assemblage. At the individual taxon level, numerically dominant species in the seagrass and plankton showed considerable variation in response to disturbance. In the seagrass assemblage, post-larval King George whiting Sillaginodes punctata (Cuvier and Valenciennes), adult weedfish Heteroclinus perspicillatus (Cuvier and Valenciennes), and pipefish juveniles and adults from the genus Stigmatopora decreased in abundance at either one or both sites during high wave conditions. Conversely, in the plankton, adult pipefish Hypelognathus rostratus (Waite and Hale), juvenile Stigmatopora and larval Gymnapistes marmoratus (Cuvier and Valenciennes) significantly increased in abundance during these same physical conditions. It appears that for some taxa physical disturbance may facilitate secondary planktonic dispersal.

To determine the presence of non-random structure and to quantify levels of spatial complexity, 2 common geostatistical analysis techniques, namely Moran's I spatial autocorrelation statistic and single-dimension fractal analysis, were employed. Samples were collected at 4 and 2 cm resolution from 2 coastal environments in South Australia; 50% of the distributions were spatially autocorrelated and 60% exhibited fractal scale dependence (with a fractal dimension, D sub(F), ranging from 1.54 to 1.89). Comparison of distributions sampled in the horizontal and vertical indicate that structural complexity is equally important in both planes. Structural complexity was greater at 2 cm than at 4 cm, suggesting that structure may arise at or below the 2 cm scale. This observation is in direct conflict with the general assumption that turbulence homogenizes distributions at these scales.

The US Senate also began markup of its own comprehensive energy bill in April 2003, agreeing to provisions regarding hydrogen, renewable energy, and hydroelectric relicensing.

Legislation related to commercial and sport fisheries enacted by the 107th Congress provided funding for capacity reduction programs for New England fisheries, authorized a feasibility study of fish passage at Chiloquin Dam, OR, and extended the interstate compact relating to Atlantic salmon restoration for 20 yr. Legislation enacted by the 107th Congress related to marine mammals required NPS to prepare an environmental impact statement on vessel entries to Glacier Bay National Park to assess possible impacts on whales.

In the treated area, 6 years after establishment of the regrowth forest on a cleared and burned seedbed, the young emergent eucalypts were culled by stem injection of herbicide. The dense sub-canopy (principally Pomaderris apetala) was also removed in two gap treatments (3.6 and 7.2m diameter); each treatment applied to 27 single tree plots. During the 6 years following silvicultural treatment, periodic annual increment (PAI) of blackwood stem diameter increased from 0.8cm per year in the untreated area to 1.4cm per year where eucalypts (only) had been removed. The additional removal of the sub-canopy increased blackwood PAI (diameter) to 1.6cm per year in the small gaps and 2.1cm per year in the larger gaps. These are statistically significant increases of 75, 100 and 160%, respectively. However, the larger sub-canopy gaps produced heavier, broader blackwood crowns, increased branch size and retention and reduced the length of branch-free bole. Maximum blackwood diameter and volume gains were therefore achieved at the expense of tree form and future log quality. In contrast, the removal of competing eucalypts (only) produced a smaller stem diameter response, but the remaining dense sub-canopy maintained excellent stem form and clear bole.

Roots in diameter classes 1-2, >2-5, >5-10 and >10mm were sampled and their frequency recorded in trench walls excavated to bedrock. Length and mass of roots from each diameter class were measured from cores taken from depths 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30cm. Root length density (RLD) and root frequency (RF) in trench walls were greater in droughted than irrigated soil of both species, in smaller diameter than larger diameter roots and in shallower than deeper soil. E. nitens had greater RLD, root mass density (RMD) and RF than E. globulus. E. nitens had a larger and deeper root system than E. globulus with a greater proportion of RLD, RMD and RF below 10cm. Reducing the irrigation load during the growth cycle will stimulate additional root development in irrigated or effluent-irrigated plantations, reducing windthrow.

These powders were assessed by the commonly used bulk techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectroscopies, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and F-selective electrode. In addition, the current study has employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM), involving morphological observation, electron diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), as an effective analytical technique to evaluate the powders at a microscopic level. The HA and fHA particles were elongated platelets about 2060 nm in size, while FA particles were over twice this size. Calcination of the HA and fHA powders at 1000 C for 1 h resulted in increased grain size and crystallinity. The calcined fHA material appeared to possess a crystal structure intermediate between HA and FA, as evidenced by the (3 0 0) peak shift in XRD, as well as by the position of the hydroxyl bands in the FTIR spectra. This result was consistent with electron diffraction of individual particles. Small levels of impurities in some of the powders were identified by EDX and electron diffraction, and the carbonate content was detected by FTIR. The use of TEM in conjunction with the bulk techniques has allowed a more thorough assessment of the apatites, and has enabled the constituents in these closely related apatite powders to be identified.

AN - 73151071; 12662307 AB - A barley SPINDLY protein, HvSPY, is a negative regulator of gibberellin (GA) action. It is also found to be a positive regulator of the promoter of a barley dehydrin (Dhn) gene which is abscisic acid (ABA) upregulated. To investigate whether HvSPY acts through the ABA signaling pathway to upregulate the Dhn promoter, functional characterization was carried out by co-bombardment experiments. These experiments used Dhn promoter-GUS reporter constructs and an effector construct to overexpress HvSPY protein in barley aleurone. ABA dose-response experiments with and without HvSPY overexpression showed that the induction by HvSPY occurred in addition to the ABA effect. Gibberellic acid (GA3) did not reduce the induction by ABA, but it had a small, although significant, effect on the ability of HvSPY to upregulate. The induction of promoter activity of Dhn by HvSPY required the intact protein, and a small deletion in the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) region reduced this ability significantly. When a promoter region containing an element for ABA responsiveness was mutagenized or deleted, the mutant promoters lost ABA responsiveness but remained responsive to HvSPY. In addition, HvSPY did not increase promoter activities of other ABA-upregulated genes. Taken together, these results indicate that HvSPY and ABA both regulate promoter activity of Dhn, and that HvSPY acts independently of the ABA signaling pathway.

The 'traditionalists' argued that the Communist Party, USA, was subordinate to the Soviet Union, possessed a totalitarian ideology, & had no legitimate place on the democratic left. In the 1970s & 1980s a wave of 'revisionist' scholars presented a benign view of American communism as a progressive force, stressed locally-oriented social histories, placed the movement in the traditions of native American radicalism, & minimized the importance of Soviet ties. The opening of the Russian archives in the 1990s reinvigorated the traditionalist approach & inserted CPUSA cooperation with Soviet espionage into the debate. Today the field is unsettled & the debate vigorous. Revisionists are on the defensive while traditionalists increasingly control the argument. Adapted from the source document.

Supply-&-demand factors exacerbating proliferation factors in Russia & other former Soviet states include, supply-side, the 1990s economic crisis, general loss of authority during the Yeltsin era, & Russia's international behavior in the nuclear realm; & demand-side, the market for nuclear weapons components is detailed, focusing on the efforts of anti-Western states & terrorist organizations. The shape of the nuclear black market is sketched, contending that its visible aspects appear innocuous, but its true design & extent remain largely unknown. A proactive procurement strategy (ie, a demand-driven smuggling model) requires (1) finding the appropriate grade material & determining the economic & security conditions surrounding it, (2) making the proper approach, (3) recruiting inside collaborators, & (4) building a support structure to transport the stolen materials. A distinction between high- & low-end smuggling is drawn, the latter resembling the visible supply-driven market. Attention turns to the US policy response, highlighting the limits of cooperative supply- & containment-oriented efforts at securing the former Soviet nuclear complex. A demand-side threat reduction policy a la the US-North Korean Agreed Framework of 1994 is proposed, & while uncertainty now exists with North Korea, potential application to Iran & Iraq is briefly considered. 1 Figure.

In general, the decay rates of Salmonella spp. were greater than either enterococci or coliphage in overlying water and sediment. Decay rates of E. coli were similar to Salmonella spp. in overlying water, although greater in sediment. Raised temperature resulted in an increased decay rate for all organisms in the overlying water (and to a lesser extent in the surface sediment layer). It was demonstrated that decay rates for both S. typhimurium and S. derby were greater in overlying water compared with sediment. This suggested that sediments may be acting as a reservoir for pathogenic microorganisms released into the coastal environment during recreational activity and should be considered when estimating environmental exposure. Using measured decay rates and available dose-response data, a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) utilising Monte Carlo simulation was undertaken to estimate the risk of infection to Salmonella spp. following exposure to recreational coastal water subject to a range of faecal contamination levels. In waters of extremely poor quality, subject to contamination by faecal coliforms (10 super(6) CFU/100 mL), the maximum probability of infection on the day of an accidental release was above 2.0 x 10 super(-1) and remained above 1 x 10 super(-3) for three days following the initial high concentration.

Sialoglycoproteins and carbohydrates play a crucial role in stabilizing oxoCr(V) intermediates, which are produced by extracellular and intracellular reduction of chromium(VI). Recent research has addressed the molecular characterization of oxoCr(V)-sialoglycoprotein and -carbohydrate complexes and the roles that these species may play in Cr(VI) metabolism and carcinogenesis. Particular highlights include the role of oxoCr(V) complexes of extracellular sialoglycoproteins, intracellular D-glucose, and related species and their potential roles in Cr(VI)-induced genotoxicity.

Areal bone mineral density and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) were measured by both dual energy absorptiometry (DXA) and metacarpal index (MI) by hand radiograph. A total of 321 fracture cases and 321 randomly selected individually matched controls were studied. For all fractures, cases had lower DXA measures at all sites (1.1-3.3%; all P 0.05). For metacarpal measures, cases had a thinner cortical width and lower MI for wrist and forearm fractures only. In multivariate modeling, both spine BMAD (odds ratio, 1.4/SD reduction) and MI (odds ratio, 1.5/SD reduction) remained statistically significant predictors of wrist and forearm fractures. In conclusion, both DXA measures and MI are independently associated with wrist and forearm but not other upper limb fractures. The magnitude of this association is somewhat weaker than in adults but suggests that optimizing age-appropriate bone mass will lessen the risk of fracture in children.

Thirty radiotagged lizards were followed during their spring period of activity (September-November 2000). Characteristics of refuges used by the lizards were compared with the perennial woody plants in 10 10 m x 10 m randomly located quadrats at each of the three sites in the study area. We found that sleepy lizards used multiple refuge sites. Perennial woody bushes constituted an important habitat component for both active and inactive lizards. Use of refuge sites by the lizards was non-random. They used large bushes with foliage in contact with the ground ('dome shaped'), and they sheltered under thorny bushes more frequently than expected if choice was random. Bushes that were used repeatedly tended to be larger and were more likely to be dome-shaped. Under these large and dome-shaped bushes, daytime temperatures were lower than under smaller bushes. Refuge use was modified as the season progressed, with lizards using larger bushes and a greater proportion of dome-shaped bushes later in the season. We suggest that sleepy lizards are modifying their refuge site use as ambient temperatures increase, based on microclimatic needs, implying an ability to discriminate among bushes.

Most farming practices remove vegetation and the short-term impact of mowing, mulching, harvesting and ploughing was studied on common voles (Microtus arvalis). Population dynamics and demographic parameters were estimated by live trapping before, and after farming practices were carried out. A gradient of disturbance according to the reduction of vegetation height, vegetation cover and nest sites is proposed. Estimates of vegetation height and vegetation cover before, and after farming practices fitted the model as well as the population response. It is concluded that only ploughing can suppress common vole populations the other farming practices being inappropriate to control pest rodents.

A chimeric gene encoding sunflower seed albumin (SSA), one of the most sulfur-rich seed storage proteins identified so far, was introduced into rice (Oryza sativa) in order to modify cysteine and methionine content of the seed. Analysis of a transgenic line expressing SSA at approximately 7% of total seed protein revealed that the mature grain showed little change in the total sulfur amino acid content compared to the parental genotype. This result indicated that the transgenic rice grain was unable to respond to the added demand for cysteine and methionine imposed by the production of SSA. Analysis of the protein composition of the transgenic grain showed changes in the relative levels of the major seed storage proteins, as well as some non-storage proteins, compared to non-transgenic controls. Changes observed at the protein level were concomitant with differences in mRNA accumulation but not always with the level of transcription. The limited sulfur reserves appeared to be re-allocated from endogenous proteins to the new sulfur sink in the transgenic grain. We hypothesize that this response is mediated by a signal transduction pathway that normally modulates seed storage protein composition in response to environmental fluctuations in sulfur availability, via both transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression.

Factors like height and weight influence these moments. This study determined which of two commonly used normalization methods, body mass or body weight times height, most reduced the effects of height and weight on peak hip, knee, and ankle external moments during walking. The effectiveness of each normalization method in reducing gender differences was then tested. Gait data from 158 normal subjects were analyzed using unnormalized values, body mass normalized values, and body weight times height normalized values. Without normalization, height or weight accounted for 7-82% of the variance in all 10 peak components of the moments. With normalization, height and weight accounted for at most 6% of the variance with the exception of the hip adduction moment normalized by body weight times height and the ankle dorsiflexion moment normalized by body mass. For the hip adduction moment normalized by body weight times height, height still accounted for 13% of the variance (p<0.001) and for the ankle dorsiflexion moment normalized by body mass, 22% of the variance (p<0.001). After normalization, significnat differences between males and females remained for only two out of 10 moments with the body weight times height method compared to six out of 10 moments with the body mass method. When compared to the unnormalized data, both normalization methods were highly effective in reducing height and weight differences. Even for the two cases where one normalization method was less effective than the other (hip adduction-body weight times height; ankle dorsiflexion-body mass) the normalization process reduced the variance ascribed to height or weight by 48% and 63%, respectively, as compared to the unnormalized data.

In this study, we analyzed multiple sections from atherosclerotic carotid arteries from 10 endartectomy patients to determine the location of C. pneumoniae DNA and the number of sections of the plaque required for analysis to obtain a 95% confidence of detecting the bacterium. A sensitive nested PCR assay detected C. pneumoniae DNA in all patients at one or more locations within the plaque. On average, 42% (ranging from 5 to 91%) of the sections from any single patient had C. pneumoniae DNA present. A patchy distribution of C. pneumoniae in the atherosclerotic lesions was observed, with no area of the carotid having significantly more C. pneumoniae DNA present. If a single random 30- mu m- thick section was tested, there was only a 35.6 to 41.6% (95% confidence interval) chance of detecting C. pneumoniae DNA in a patient with carotid artery disease. A minimum of 15 sections would therefore be required to obtain a 95% chance of detecting all true positives. The low concentration and patchy distribution of C. pneumoniae DNA in atherosclerotic plaque appear to be among the reasons for inconsistency between laboratories in the results reported.

Two models have been applied commonly to primates and ungulates with varying success-the Trivers-Willard (TW) hypothesis, and the local resource competition (LRC) hypothesis. For polygynous, sexually dimorphic mammals, where males are larger and disperse more readily, these models predict opposite outcomes of sex-ratio adjustment within the same environmental context (high-resource years: TW-more sons; LRC-more daughters). However, many of the predictions of these two models can vary depending on factors influencing resource availability, such as environmental stochasticity, resource predictability, and population density. The New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) is a polygynous mammal showing marked sexual dimorphism (larger males), with higher variation in male reproductive success expected. We provide clear evidence of male-biased sex ratios from a large sample of A. forsteri pups captured around South Island, New Zealand during 1996/1998, even after accounting for a sex bias in capture probability. The extent of the bias depended upon year and, in 1998, strong climatic perturbations (El Nino /Southern Oscillation, ENSO) probably reduced food availability. Significant male-biased sex ratios were found in all years; however, there was a significant decline in the male bias in 1998. There was no relationship between sex ratio and population density. We suggest that the sex-ratio bias resulted from the production of relatively more male pups. Under the density-independent scenario, the strong male bias in A. forsteri sex ratios is support for the TW model within an environment of high resource predictability. We suggest that some plasticity in the determination of pup sex among years is a mechanism by which A. forsterifemales in New Zealand, and perhaps other otariid seals, can maximise fitness benefits when living in regions of high, yet apparently predictable, environmental variability. We also suggest that much of the inconsistency in the reported sex ratios for otariid seals results from the complex interaction of population density and environmental stochasticity influencing relative food availability over time.

Implications for woodland conservation in the wheat-sheep regions of Australia AN - 18636014; 5543596 AB - The condition of salmon gums Eucalyptus salmonophloia with large hollows in them in a 15-ha patch of remnant salmon gum-York gum E. loxophleba woodland in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia was examined in 1978. The patch was an important breeding area for six species of cockatoo, including two endangered species. The patch was revisited in 1981 when the condition of all 682 salmon gums and York gums in the patch was examined and each was measured and photographed. A further visit was made in 1997 when the condition of the surviving trees was examined and each was again measured and photographed. The condition of the trees at each visit was classified as 'good', 'staghorn', 'broken top', 'dead' or 'fallen.' Over the period of the study there was a serious decline in the condition of the trees, with few large trees in the 'good' category by 1997. The decline was particularly marked between 1978 and 1981 after a period of well-below average annual rainfall. Using data based on the rate of decline over the period 1978-1997, predictions were made of the fate of the trees in the patch. By 2125 only 46 (11% of the 1981 total) salmon gums were predicted to be alive with only one in the 'good' category. Only 16 (17%) York gums were predicted to be alive by 2125, with only one in the 'good' category. There was no evidence of any regeneration of woodland trees since 1929 when the patch was isolated by clearing for agriculture, and domestic livestock allowed to graze the patch. This deterioration of the dominant trees in the patch is symptomatic of remnant native vegetation over vast areas of Australia's extensively cleared wheat-sheep regions. The future of woodland patches like the one studied is bleak, as is the future of animals dependent on them for food, breeding sites and shelter. Active management, including fencing to exclude domestic livestock and measures to encourage regeneration of native plant communities, is necessary to counter the present regime of benign neglect that characterises most of Australia's management of native vegetation in agricultural landscapes.

Here the evolution of planktotrophy and lecithotrophy in Serpulimorph polychaetes (families Serpulidae and Spirorbidae) was studied using a hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships in this group. A phylogenetic (parsimony) analysis of 36 characters (34 morphological, 2 developmental) was performed for 12 selected serpulid and 6 spirorbid species with known reproductive /developmental strategies. Four species of Sabellidae were used in the outgroup. The analysis yielded 4 equally parsimonious trees of 78 steps, with a consistency index (CI) of 0.654 (CI excluding uninformative characters is 0.625). Under the assumption of unweighted parsimony analysis, planktotrophic larvae are apomorphic and non-feeding brooded embryos are plesiomorphic in serpulimorph polychaetes. The estimated polarity of life history transitions may be strengthened by further studies demonstrating an absence of a unidirectional bias in planktotrophy-lecithotrophy transition in polychaetes.

The global extent of primary salt-affected soils is about 955 M ha, while secondary salinization affects some 77 M ha, with 58% of these in irrigated areas. Nearly 20% of all irrigated land is salt-affected, and this proportion tends to increase in spite of considerable efforts dedicated to land reclamation. This requires careful monitoring of the soil salinity status and variation to curb degradation trends, and secure sustainable land use and management. Multitemporal optical and microwave remote sensing can significantly contribute to detecting temporal changes of salt-related surface features. Airborne geophysics and ground-based electromagnetic induction meters, combined with ground data, have shown potential for mapping depth of salinity occurrence. This paper reviews various sensors (e.g. aerial photographs, satellite- and airborne multispectral sensors, microwave sensors, video imagery, airborne geophysics, hyperspectral sensors, and electromagnetic induction meters) and approaches used for remote identification and mapping of salt-affected areas. Constraints on the use of remote sensing data for mapping salt-affected areas are shown related to the spectral behaviour of salt types, spatial distribution of salts on the terrain surface, temporal changes on salinity, interference of vegetation, and spectral confusions with other terrain surfaces. As raw remote sensing data need substantial transformation for proper feature recognition and mapping, techniques such as spectral unmixing, maximum likelihood classification, fuzzy classification, band ratioing, principal components analysis, and correlation equations are discussed. Lastly, the paper presents modelling of temporal and spatial changes of salinity using combined approaches that incorporate different data fusion and data integration techniques.

The onset of photoinhibition in both organisms occurred at irradiances > 300 mu mol m super(-2)s super(-1) at temperatures > 15 degree C. Light/dark cycle times were controlled independently using a relay timer and shutter placed between the quartz iodide light source and the oxygen electrode chamber. Oxygen evolution decreased rapidly when cells were continuously irradiated at 300, 500 and 750 mu mol m super(-2)s super(-1). However, Chlorella cells irradiated at 300, 500 and 750 mu mol m super(-2)s super(-1) on a L:D cycle of 60s:20s, 30s:60s and 60s:120s respectively, maintained a constant rate of oxygen evolution over a 24 h incubation period. Exposure time to a given incident irradiance rather than the total light dose received appeared to determine the effect of light/dark cycle times on photosynthesis. A relationship was established between L:D ratio required to maintain constant oxygen production and incident photon flux density. The results suggest that the adverse effects of high irradiances on algae near the surface of a stratified waste stabilisation pond might be ameliorated by controlled mixing of algal cells through the depth of the pond.

The women completed an extensive food frequency questionnaire reflecting their usual intake, and based on the reported data, intake of grams of fish/d were calculated. Total Hg was analyzed in hair, and total Hg, inorganic Hg, and selenium were measured in umbilical cord blood. Most of the women reported awareness of the dietary recommendations to refrain from consumption of certain fish during pregnancy, and they reported less consumption of freshwater fish during than before pregnancy. Methylmerury in cord blood was associated significantly with total Hg in maternal hair, and both measures increased with increasing total consumption of seafood. A significant correlation was found between the concentrations of Se and MeHg in cord blood, and an almost significant association was noted between Se in cord blood and total Hg in maternal hair. A clear increase was found in fetal inorganic Hg exposure with increasing number of maternal dental amalgam fillings.

The snails were exposed for three or six months to nominal tributyltin concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 ng/l. After the exposure periods, the sex of the snails was determined, and females were evaluated for imposex. The study results showed that tributyltin exposure induced both imposex and elevated immunodetectable testosterone levels. The increase in immunodetectable testosterone was not caused by an increase in total testosterone, but by an increase in the proportion of total testosterone that was available in the free, immunodetectable form. The accumulation of testosteronefatty-acid ester decreased with increasing tributyltin exposure concentration, and while the maximal reduction was only about 13%, it added approximately 3 pg/mg to the free testosterone pool.

At each site, atrazine concentrations were measured in water samples. Results from the laboratory exposures showed that atrazine disrupted gonadal development. Testicular tubules were poorly developed in the exposed animals, while germ cells appeared reduced, and oocytes were allowed to develop in animals identified as hermaphrodites. The observed effects were more pronounced at the lower dose of 0.1 ppb than at the higher dose of 25.0 ppb. Males that appeared to undergo complete sex reversal exhibited gonads almost completely filled with oocytes, and only a limited number of lobules remained. In the field, testicular oocytes were identified in males from seven of the eight sites studied. All sites with atrazine concentrations exceeding 0.2 ppb contained males that displayed sex reversal similar to that observed in the laboratory.

The level of occlusion-induced ischemia was assessed by electrocardiographic criteria after inhalation exposure to either concentrated ambient particles or filtered air. Some animals were exposed to concentrated ambient particles every day and some were exposed on selected days. The resulting data showed that exposure to concentrated ambient particles exacerbated coronary artery occlusion-induced ischemic insult. The ST-segment elevation in the electrocardiograms increased more rapidly after the start of the occlusion and reached a higher peak value in the concentrated ambient particle-exposed dogs than in sham-exposed controls. The enhancement of the ST-segment elevation remained on the day after exposure.

Questionnaires were used to collected information on a variety of asthma risk factors and environmental exposures, and stratified analyses and unconditional logistic regression models containing interaction terms were used to assess potential interaction. Results indicated that upper respiratory infection-triggered wheezing was most associated with reported allergen sensitivity, relative to other asthma risk factors and environmental exposures. However, upper respiratory infection-triggered wheezing increased with increasing exposure to smoking. Females had a slightly higher prevalence of the condition than males.

Each sample was ranked according to its proximity to sewage effluents. Selected wastewater samples were also collected and analyzed. Estrogens were concentrated and assayed using a highly specific radioimmunoassay for estrone. The sampling sites in embayments with sewage sources were found to have one to two orders of magnitude higher estrone concentrations than sites in the open ocean. Much higher estrone concentrations were found in water samples collected near beaches with septic fields and public toilet facilities. The highest concentrations of estrone were detected in Rehoboth Bay and Key West Harbor. All relevant concentration data are tabulated.

The tadpoles were examined at stage 37, which is the end of the critical period for the detrimental actions of 17 beta -estradiol. The exposure concentrations ranged from 10 nM to 10 mu M. Exposure to the compounds with estrogenic actions resulted in increased mortality, gross abnormalities in body shape, enhanced apoptosis, and significant aberrations in the differentiation of neural crest-derived melanocytes. The effects were both compound- and dose-dependent. The actions of nonylphenol were inhibited by the pure antiestrogen, ICI 182,780, but the actions of methoxychlor were not. The overall results showed that early exposure to estrogenic toxicants induced widespread abnormalities in a number of developing tissues, with the neural crest derivatives being most affected.

The two mice express the chloroamphenicol acetyl transferase reporter gene under the direction of a highly androgen-sensitive promoter in the epididymis and prostate, respectively. The mice were dosed orally with hexachlorobenzene levels similar to highly exposed individuals, but elevated compared with average human exposure levels. Results showed that lower doses of hexachlorobenzene acted as an androgen agonist, but higher doses apparently antagonized androgen action. In both strains of mice, hexachlorobenzene decreased chloramphenicol acetyl transferase expression and prostate weights.

In an effort to group PCB congeners, at least those detected frequently in human tissues, into biologically similar categories, previously assayed results on 38 congeners from 497 human milk samples obtained across Canada in 1992 were examined. Twelve of the congeners were quantified in at least 90% of the samples, and another 12 were quantified in 4090% of the samples. The determined correlations among the congeners are tabulated, which show that congeners 138, 153, 156, 157, 170, 183, 187, 194, 199, and 203 formed a particularly tight group. The mono-ortho congeners 74, 105, and 188 were also correlated. Most of the PCB congeners showed low correlations with organochlorine compounds, although fairly high correlations were found for trans-nonachlor, p,p'-DDE, and o,p'-DDT.

The subjects estimated the number of times per week or month they consumed specific fish, as well as the portion size they consumed per serving. When patients were identified as having Hg intake at or greater than the reference dose for their average monthly intake, blood samples were collected and analyzed for Hg. Patients were also tested if they had symptoms consistent with methylmercury excess. Fish consumption was correlated positively with Hg elevations in the study population, with swordfish having the highest positive correlation. Snapper consumption correlated negatively with Hg level. In patients with high blood Hg levels, the concentrations declined markedly when they stopped consuming fish.

The use of qualitative and quantitative ethnographic data to further elucidate disease susceptibility is discussed, focusing on the habitus that integrates the details of everyday routine as a holistic lived experience. Habitus is defined as internalized schemas based on a lifetime of socialization and experience that individuals use to perceive, interpret, and take action as they encounter new experiences. Possible methods for designing studies to quantify environmental contributors to complex diseases, which take into account differences in habitus, are considered.

The binding affinities of the compounds to human androgen receptor and human estrogen receptor- alpha were also assessed using a receptor competitive-binding assay. In the human androgen-receptor assay, both chlornitrofen and chlornitrofen-amino exhibited a dose-dependent, suppressive effect on the DHT-induced transcriptional activity, The antiandrogenic potency of chlornitrofen was higher than that of vinclozolin, p,p'-DDE, and o,p'-DDT. A similar antiandrogenic potency was found for chlornitrofen-amino. In the human estrogen-receptor- alpha assay, both compounds possessed estrogenic activity, but not antiestrogenic activity. Use of the competitive receptor-binding assay revealed that the antiandrogenic and estrogenic activities of chlornitrofen and chlornitrofen-amino were mediated by way of the binding of the compounds to androgen receptor and estrogen receptor- alpha .

The rings were treated with arsenite or vehicle in an incubator for 14 h. Phenylephrine was applied to pre-contract the rings, followed by the cumulative addition of acetylcholine to obtain concentrationrelaxation curves. Results showed that arsenite suppressed the relaxation induced by acetylcholine in a concentration-dependent manner, while no such effect was found for other arsenic species. In addition, the basal guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate levels in the aortic rings were decreased significantly by arsenite, also in a concentration-dependent manner. The data suggested that arsenite may have interfered with some relaxation mechanism in addition to inhibiting endothelium-dependent nitric oxide production.

The estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities of the compounds were also examined using the estrogen-responsive element-luciferase reporter-transfected human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, and rat liver preparations were used to examine the influence of the metabolism of fenthion on the endocrine-disrupting activities. No estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity of fenthion was detected, but fenthion was found to be a potent antiandrogen, whereas fenthion sulfoxide and fenthion sulfone were not. The antiandrogenic activity of fenthion was found to be comparable to that of flutamide. Fenitrothion and ethyl p-nitrophenyl benzenethiophosphonate were also found to be antiandrogenic, while fensulfothion, trichlorfon, and malathion were not. Fenthion was oxidized to fenthion sulfoxide by the rat liver microsomes, which inactivated the antiandrogenic activity of the pesticide.

Effects of DEPs on T-Cell-Mediated Immune Responses in Rats AN - 14660934; 10643665 AB - Male Brown Norway rats were exposed to either purified air or diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) at concentrations of 50 or 100 mg/m super(3) for 4 h and then exposed ip to Listeria monocytogenes, and effects on T-cell-mediated immune responses were examined. A strong correlation was found between the bacterial counts in lungs and the lymphocyte differentials measured at 7 d post-exposure in animal exposed to DEPs. At the higher DEP exposure dose, there was a marked increase in total lymphocytes in Listeria-infected lungs. The combined effects of Listeria and DEP exposure were characterized by an increase in CD4 super(+) and CD8 super(+) cell counts and a significant increase in the CD8 super(+)/CD4 super(+) ratio. Lymphocytes obtained at 7 d post-infection from rats exposed to Listeria or to Listeria and DEPs exhibited increased interleukin-2 receptor alpha and ability to reutilize the secreted interleukin-2. Exposure to DEPs also augmented Listeria-induced lymphocyte production of interleukin-6 and the production of interferon- gamma .

A statistically significant negative, but weak, correlation was discerned between the CB-153 levels and the percentage of motile cells assessed by a computer-aided sperm analyzer. The same pattern of correlations was also noted for the conventional motility parameters. An increase in blood CB-153 levels by 10 ng/g lipid corresponded to a 1% decrease in the percentage of motile spermatozoa, which was accompanied by an equal increases in the percentage of immotile cells. A significant positive correlation was found between serum levels of CB-153 and sexual hormone-binding globulin, while correlations were negative between CB-153 and the testosterone:sexual hormone-binding globulin ratio and between CB-153 and estradiol.

Data from a total of ten studies were interpreted using pooled analysis techniques. A significant correlation was discerned between Hg in air and in urine at concentrations less than 50 mu g/m super(3). Urinary Hg levels could be related to airborne Hg levels down to approximately 10 mu g/m super(3), but below that level, urinary Hg was not a useful quantitative measure of Hg exposure from air.

Regional differences in ambient UV radiation were also considered in the analysis. The prevalence of type 1 diabetes was found to be correlated positively with latitude, while asthma prevalence was correlated inversely with latitude. Type 1 diabetes prevalence was also correlated inversely with regional average solar-noon UV radiation, while asthma prevalence was correlated positively with regional average solar-noon UV radiation. The other immune-related disorders, while showing some trends with latitude and UV radiation, did not meet the criteria of statistical significance.

The California Cancer Registry was used to obtain data on all invasive cancer cases diagnosed between 1988 and 1994 in children younger than 15 yr, and a geographic information system was utilized to match case addresses with a road network and to determine the corresponding census tract of each child's residence at the time of diagnosis. Exposure scores for each census tract were calculated by multiplying the modeled air concentration and the corresponding inhalation unit risk factor for potentially carcinogenic hazardous air pollutants, with the latter combining the cancer potency for each compound with standard assumptions for body weight and breathing rate. No significant childhood cancer excess was found within census tracts in the highest exposure category for all hazardous air pollutants combined, but the rate ratios for leukemias appeared to be elevated in those tracts. The most dramatically elevated childhood cancer and leukemia incidence rates were noted within census tracts in the highest exposure category for point sources, while census tracts in the highest exposure categories for area- and mobile-source hazardous air pollutants had slightly elevated leukemia rates.

The subjects reported the severity of their asthma symptoms and results of morning and evening peak expiratory flow maneuvers, as well as the daily number of as-needed beta -agonist inhaler puffs and preventive asthma medications. While none of the measured pollutant gases was associated with peak expiratory flow, many positive associations were found between asthma symptoms and exposures to criteria air pollutant gases as well as VOCs. Symptom scores were associated with benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylenes, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,3-butadiene. Positive associations were also found between asthma symptoms and concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone. Positive associations were found between asthma symptoms and organic C, elemental C, and PM sub(10), and there were possible inverse associations of evening peak expiratory flow with all three. All relevant data are tabulated.

Highest enterococcus concentrations were found near the mouth of the Santa Ana River, but no bathers were observed at that location. At all locations, peak enterococcus concentrations were detected frequently during late winter and early spring, but abnormally high concentrations were found during the summer of 1999. Illness rates were found to be elevated substantially at particular beaches then bathing activity was concentrated at contaminated locations, although the spatial location of bathers did not make a substantial difference in terms of the estimated aggregate illness rates. The illness rates were sensitive to the relationship between enterococcus density and highly credible gastrointestinal illness risk.

Among the women, 36 were pre- or perimenopausal, and 196 were postmenopausal. Bone mineral density was also measured at the lumbar spine and femur neck. Blood Pb concentration was found to increase significantly in the postmenopausal period, especially in the first 3 yr. The age-adjusted difference in trabecular bone Pb concentrations observed between post- and premenopausal women suggested that Pb was mobilized from the bone compartments toward the circulation, contributing to the increase in blood Pb levels. The use of replacement estrogens was associated with lower blood Pb levels among postmenopausal women. No linear relationship was observed between blood Pb levels and age, ad no relationship was found between blood Pb values and bone mineral density values. The use of Pb-glazed ceramics was found to be an important predictor of blood Pb levels.

Offspring were weaned on postnatal day 21 and then decapitated and examined immediately or decapitated and examined at postnatal days 30 or 60. The effects of chlorpyrifos on the development of cholinergic biomarkers, DNA biomarkers, and protein biomarkers were evaluated. Results showed that prenatal chlorpyrifos exposure elicited marked alterations that emerged in the postnatal period. Postnatal deficits in cholinergic activity were identified that persisted into adulthood and that were associated with, but not necessarily caused by, delayed, generalized effects on brain cell development. The subsequent development of cholinergic synaptic function was compromised by prenatal chlorpyrifos exposure, as characterized by deficits in the index of neural activity without substantial loss of nerve terminals. The changes persisted into adolescence and adulthood and corresponded to the long-term deficits in cholinergic components of working and reference memory.

The PCB exposure concentration was 10 mu g/l. Exposure to PCBs had no effect on frog survival. Abnormal males, including intersexes, were observed in the PCB-exposed groups, although the percentage was relatively low. Feminization was evident, however, based on histologic sections, with oocytes occurring in sections of morphologically abnormal testes induced by PCB sub(3) and PCB sub(5).

Using A549 human pulmonary epithelial type II cells, the ability of chrysotile and crocidolite to induce phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15 and other serines was investigated. Inhibitors to the members of mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases were used to determine the protein kinases responsible for asbestos-induced p53 phosphorylation. At exposure doses ranging 110 mu g/cm super(2) for 24 h, both asbestos types increased the levels of p53 phosphorylated at Ser15 and p53 protein. No clear phosphorylation was observed at other serine residues. Chrysotile was found to be more potent than crocidolite on a per-weight basis. The data suggested that chrysotile-induced Ser15 phosphorylation was dependent upon the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase family. Treatment with catalase or N-acetylcysteine failed to suppress chrysotile-induced Ser15 phosphorylation.

AN - 14659181; 10643644 AB - Bisphenol A was administered orally to pregnant female SpragueDawley rats from mating to weaning day, and offspring were then tested for novelty preference during adolescence. The same subjects were also tested for intolerance to delay for amphetamine-induced behaviors in an open field. Bisphenol A was administered daily to the pregnant females at a concentration of 0.04 mg/kg. Results showed that offspring of both sexes that were perinatally exposed were associated with more marked levels of novelty-induced hyperactivity compared with controls. The bisphenol A-exposed females, however, spent a lower percentage of time in the novel environment. Both sexes were associated with a more marked preference for the large and delayed" reinforcer during the whole experiment, which was an index of decreased impulsivity, and compared to unexposed controls, the exposed males exhibited a feminization in the frequency of inadequate nose poking at the immediate and small" hole during the length of the delay. Perinatal bisphenol A exposure was able to impair the classic response to D-amphetamine in the male subjects. The findings suggested that perinatal exposure to bisphenol A interacted with some steps in the organization of the serotoneric and dopaminergic neural systems in the male offspring.

In this study, data regarding sources, daily industrial effluents, indicators of water quality, and toxic compounds in water from the sites were examined and related to cancer outcomes among the Naval Commando Diving Unit. Many toxic agents were found in the waters and sediments, including: PAHs, benzene, toluene, xylene, long-chain and branched hydrocarbons, phenols, alcohols, chlorinated alkylbenzene, trichloroethylene, trichlorophenol, cresols, cycloalkanes, aldehydes, ketones, and brominated and chlorinated aromatic organic compounds. Concentrations of toxic metals were also found to be high. As the divers wore wet suits, there was prolonged skin contact with PAHs, benzene and derivatives, and other agents having partition coefficients that predict a high degree of skin penetration. The divers also reported swallowing a lot of water, resulting in complaints of indigestion and nausea. Causeeffect relationship analysis suggested that risks from less than 1 h of diving in these waters were equal to smoking approximately two packs of cigarettes. The effects observed in marine life at the diving locations predicted later risks for cancer in the divers.

The particles were analyzed for metal and trace-element content and PAH content. Ultrafine particles were found to have significantly higher organic and elemental carbon content than the other particle sizes, while coarse and fine particles had a higher metal content. A statistically significant difference in total PAH content was found between the particle sizes. The ultrafine particles were determined to be more potent than fine and coarse particles toward inducing oxidative stress. Electron microscopy also indicated subcellular penetration and mitochondrial damage by ultrafine particles and, to a lesser extent, by fine particles. The results correlated with particulate-matter organic C and PAH composition.

At all 4-tert-octylphenol exposures, a greater percentage of individuals underwent gonadal differentiation than did controls, and exposure to the compound advanced the stage at which the bipotential gonad differentiated into a morphologically distinct ovary or testis. The overall sex ratios of the treated animals did not differ from controls at any dose, however. Exposure to 4-tert-octylphenol disrupted the sexually dimorphic expression of steroidogenic factor-1 protein levels, but the outcome of gonadal differentiation with regard to sex was not affected.

The restaurant types were Chinese, Western, fast food, and Japanese. Emissions of PAHs from home kitchens were also estimated, and for both source types, the carcinogenic potency associated with the emissions was estimated. In all restaurant stack emissions, the concentrations of gaseous PAHs were higher than those of particulate PAHs, but the carcinogenic potency of the former was determined to be lower than that of the latter. The PAH emission intensities were greatest for the Chinese restaurants, followed in decreasing order by Western, fast food, and Japanese restaurants. The PAH emission rates estimated for home kitchens were higher than those for restaurants. The total PAH emission rate from cooking sources was determined to be 0.66-fold that from traffic sources, but the total benzo(a)pyrene equivalent emission rate from cooking sources was determined to be approximately 11-fold that from traffic sources.

Particle bioactivity was assessed using human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells and RAW 264.7 cells. The ability of the ambient particles to elicit inflammatory cytokine production and to cause lipid peroxidation was found to be size-dependent. Cytokine production by epithelial cells was greatest for submicrometer particles and least for PM sub(1.0) sub(2.5). The submicrometer particles also elicited the highest tumor necrosis factor alpha response, which remained after the endotoxin in the particulate was neutralized by polymyxin B. Manganese and chromium were associated with interleukin-8 production in epithelial cells, while iron and Cr were associated with tumor necrosis factor alpha production in macrophages. Elemental and organic C were associated positively with lipid peroxidation induction.

Following each exposure, which occurred at least two weeks apart, cytokine levels were measured in nasal lavage fluid. Symptoms of allergen exposure were obtained via questionnaire immediately before, immediately after, and 4 and 18 h after the challenge. A greater-than-additive interaction between particulate exposure and allergen challenge was found. A 1-h residual oil flyash particulate exposure 3 h before challenge with pollen enhanced the nasal inflammatory response, which consisted of an increase in inflammatory cells and in the cytokines, interleukin-4 and -8. Atopics had an enhanced interleukin-4 and inflammatory cell response, whereas nonatopics did not, but for interleukin-8, there was an enhanced response in both atopics and nonatopics, although the response was larger in nonatopics. Because only the number of neutrophils, but not eosinophils, was enhanced, the cellular response could have been an irritant response, rather than an allergic response.

The models include the Trp53 heterozygous null allele mouse, the Tg:AC mouse, and the rasH2 mouse. The data examined pertained to responses to chemical treatment in each model, and each model was evaluated by determining its respective ability to identify human carcinogens. The results suggest that a strategy employing two of the models worked well, especially the use of the standard rat bioassay in conjunction with Tr53+/- for genotoxic chemicals and the Tg:AC or rasH2 for nongenotoxic chemicals. Several research needs that should be addressed to ensure that the use of transgenic models has been evaluated adequately are identified and discussed.

Results revealed that the rotating shift workers had some shorter- and longer-length menstrual cycles, and the hormone profiles of the cycles showed that the variations in cycle length resulted primarily from differences in the length of the follicular phase of the cycle. Evidence was also found of increased bone resorption in the follicular phases of the longer cycles, as measured by levels of urinary deoxypyridinoline.

Only methyl parathion 3 and ethylfenitrothion 5 demonstrated sufficient androgen receptor antagonistic activity to determine potency in dose-shift experiments. The doseresponse curves obtained indicated that, similar to fenitrothion, the compounds were competitive androgen receptor antagonists. Methyl parathion 3 and ethylfenitrothion 5 were 16- and 8-fold less potent, respectively, than fenitrothion. The structural basis for the observed androgen receptor agonist activity is outlined.

The sound intensity was set at 100 dB(A), and exposure lasted 12 h. Exposure to loud noise was observed to induce genetic damage, and the amount of damage did not decline rapidly, persisting almost unchanged for 24 h after the end of exposure. The molecular effects observed in heart cells were accompanied by morphologic alterations in the mitochondria. The subcellular alterations observed with electron microscopy revealed that damage measured at 24 h after cessation of the stimulus was slightly higher compared with that found immediately after noise exposure.

CO sub(2) reduction schemes being advocated pose large uncertainties in terms of the perceived reduction needs and potential costs of attaining reductions. Tradeable permit programs would reduce emissions to a specific level with the control cost handled efficiently but not at a specific cost level. C taxes would effectively cap marginal control costs at the specific tax level but the precise level of emission reduction achieved would be less certain.

The US Senate narrowly defeated an amendment that would have delayed implementation of changes to the requirements pending a study by NAS. The Administration also asked Congress to modify Clean Air Act requirements for power plants by enacting Clear Skies or multi-pollutant legislation. The US Senate narrowly approved multi-pollutant legislation, but it did not reach the Senate floor due to power sector and Administration opposition. Other clean air issues that might be considered in the 108th Congress are the conformity of metropolitan area transportation plans with the Act and whether to modify the Act's requirements for areas that have not met deadlines for attainment of the ozone air quality standard.

Chemical and morphological variation with nursery treatment reflected variation in light and nitrogen limitation to seedlings. This variation is discussed in terms of the carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis. The most resource-limited seedlings had the lowest biomass and nitrogen level, but highest specific leaf area, lignin:leaf area ratio, gallotannin:nitrogen ratio and sideroxylonal levels. Both pademelons and possums preferred these resource-limited seedlings least. Possums showed greater discrimination than pademelons for the two other nursery treatments, indicating differences in the two species' responses to seedling characteristics. Results show that environmental variation in nursery growing conditions has potential in reducing palatability to seedlings, and hence browsing damage, in plantation forestry.

Our aim was to determine the relationship between LAI and stem growth in four 5-8-year-old Eucalyptus nitens plantations and its dependence on site and fertilization. Fertilizers were applied at various intervals between planting and age 6 years at cumulative rates that ranged from 0 to 1600kg Nha super(-1) and 0 to 700kg Pha super(-1). Stem growth and LAI were monitored for 2 years. Values of LAI ranged from 1.4 to 9.6, and temporal variations in LAI were small. Fertilization increased LAI by up to 3.1 units. There was a strong relationship across all sites and treatments between initial LAI and growth, and predictions using LAI were more precise than those using basal area as the independent variable.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-06-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Civilian Nuclear Waste Disposal AN - 14654538; 10641187 AB - DOE is studying various scientific issues in determining the suitability of Yucca Mountain, NV, for a nuclear waste repository, which must be licensed by NRC. The goal for loading waste into the repository under the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act was 1998, but DOE does not expect to open the facility until 2010 at the earliest. The latter plans to submit a construction permit application to NRC in late 2004 for the repository, and DOE received $460 million for the waste program in FY2003, a 23% increase from FY2002. During FY2005-2010, funding will have to increase to an average of $1.3 billion/yr. Low-level wastes are a state responsibility, and while 10 regional compacts for disposal have been approved by Congress, commercial low-level waste sites are currently operating only in South Carolina, Utah, and Washington.

Regulations to put streamlining into practice have not been finalized, although the Clinton Administration proposed them. The Bush Administration withdrew them after many stakeholders argued that it would further complicate the review process and possibly result in further delays. In the interim, President Bush issued an executive order directing federal agencies to expedite environmental reviews for high-priority transportation projects. Two highway streamlining bills were introduced late in the 107th Congress, but not enacted, and similar proposals may be considered during the 108th Congress.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Education Reform of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, One Hundred Eighth Congress, First Session. AN - 62170180; ED480614 AB - These hearings transcripts present testimony on the impact of the Head Start program for preparing disadvantaged children for school, to inform the reauthorization of Head Start. Opening statements by U.S. Representatives Michael Castle (Delaware) and Lynn Wolsey (California) focused on needs for improving Head Start. A written statement by Representative Ciro Rodriguez (Texas) argues that the proposed block funding of Head Start will not meet poor children's needs and will not work for Migrant and Seasonal Head Start. Testimony was offered by two panels of witnesses, the first comprised of Assistant Secretary for Children and Family Services Wade Horn and Governor John Rowland of Connecticut, with the director of the Institute for Educational Sciences available for questions; and the second comprised of the author of a preschool language enrichment program, the chair of the National Head Start Association (NHSA), and the director of a not-for-profit child care development agency. Horn's testimony maintained that the President's proposal for offering states the opportunity to coordinate preschool programs with Head Start in exchange for meeting certain accountability requirements is not a block grant and assured the committee that states would be required to maintain the comprehensive nature of Head Start services, maintain their current level of state preschool funding, and explain how state and federal funds would be coordinated to promote school readiness. Governor Rowland outlined potential benefits of the President's plan. Questions for the first panel related to assessment of school readiness, states' commitment to preschool education, the role of and support for parent involvement, states' roles in setting program standards, and consequences of not submitting a plan. Testimony from the second panel focused on the impact of a language-rich curriculum on poor children, Head Start's successes, and recommendations for its future. The NHSA chair argued that goals for enhancing literacy/language program components and improving coordination could be met within the current program structure and questioned the wisdom of moving Head Start to the states in the middle of a major review of Head Start effectiveness. Questions focused on replicability of the language enrichment program, concerns that the Administration is trying to dismantle Head Start, current Head Start collaboration efforts, and states' commitment and ability to offer quality comprehensive programs within the climate of state economic shortfalls. The transcripts' ten appendices contain written statements and additional documents submitted for the record.

AN - 73272434; 12751551 AB - Opioids are the most potent analgesics. Toxicity results either from effects mediated by variation in affinity and intrinsic efficacy at specific opioid receptors or, rarely, from a direct toxic effect of the drugs. For some adverse effects, opioids exhibit a 'dual pharmacology' whereby these effects are usually observed only in pain-free individuals, and are not seen in patients in pain. Paracetamol, although generally very safe in therapeutic doses, displays potentially fatal toxicity in overdose requiring specific treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to act by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 isoenzymes to various degrees. Toxicity arises primarily from undesired inhibition at these enzyme sites. Knowledge of the mechanism of action of these drugs is fundamental to the understanding of their potential for toxicity, the details of which are still emerging. JF - Best practice & research.

AN - 73030604; 12460123 AB - Store-operated Ca(2+) channels in liver cells have been shown previously to exhibit a high selectivity for Ca(2+) and to have properties indistinguishable from those of Ca(2+)-release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels in mast cells and lymphocytes [Rychkov, Brereton, Harland and Barritt (2001) Hepatology 33, 938-947]. The role of CRAC channels in the maintenance of hormone-induced oscillations in the cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) in isolated rat hepatocytes was investigated using several inhibitors of CRAC channels. 2-Aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB; 75 microM), Gd(3+) (1 microM) and 1-[beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl]-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365; 50 microM) each inhibited vasopressin- and adrenaline (epinephrine)-induced Ca(2+) oscillations (measured using fura-2). The characteristics of this inhibition were similar to those of inhibition caused by decreasing the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration to zero by addition of EGTA. The effect of 2-APB was reversible. In contrast, LOE-908 [( R, S )-(3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-isochinolin-1-yl)-2-phenyl- N, N -di[2-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]acetamide mesylate] (30 microM), used commonly to block Ca(2+) inflow through intracellular-messenger-activated, non-selective cation channels, did not inhibit the Ca(2+) oscillations. In the absence of added extracellular Ca(2+), 2-APB, Gd(3+) and SK&F 96365 did not alter the kinetics of the increase in [Ca(2+)](cyt) induced by a concentration of adrenaline or vasopressin that induces continuous Ca(2+) oscillations at the physiological extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Ca(2+) inflow through non-selective cation channels activated by maitotoxin could not restore Ca(2+) oscillations in cells treated with 2-APB to block Ca(2+) inflow through CRAC channels. Evidence for the specificity of the pharmacological agents for inhibition of CRAC channels under the conditions of the present experiments with hepatocytes is discussed. It is concluded that Ca(2+) inflow through CRAC channels is required for the maintenance of hormone-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in isolated hepatocytes.

We report on operator compliance with regulations regarding humans swimming with free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia. A total of 128 commercial dolphin-swim trips were studied between September 1998 and April 2000. Four permit conditions were investigated: approach type, swim time, time in proximity of dolphins, and presence of "fetal fold" calves. Results demonstrate noncompliance by operators to all of the four permit conditions studied. Compliance with temporal conditions was poorer than with other conditions. When conducting studies on the extent to which tourism affects cetaceans, investigators should consider whether tourist operations comply with existing regulations or guidelines.

Using haptens based on derivatization of the phosphate ester of the methyl and ethyl forms in the target compounds, there was selectivity in detection of methyl-parathion and parathion, respectively, using the two assays. Antisera to methyl-parathion detected parathion with 25-20% cross-reaction, while the parathion antisera detected methyl-parathion with 30-40% cross-reaction in water. The only other commonly-used agrochemical that cross-reacted in the assays was fenitrothion, the 3-methyl derivative of methyl-parathion. The assays were applied to the analysis of residues of these pesticides in water and several food matrices representative of different classes following the extraction of residues using simple procedures. Methanol extracts of most fruits and vegetables tested (high-moisture, low fat foods), including green and blue grapes, cauliflower and cabbage, could be analysed directly in the methyl-parathion assay, as could rice and basmati rice (low-moisture, low fat foods). Methanol extracts of butter and milk (high-fat foods) provided interference, but this was overcome by either further dilution or using acetonitrile as the extractant. A coagulating reagent was used to remove matrix interference from strongly coloured foods (tea and spinach). The parathion assay was subject to greater matrix interference, so it was preferable to analyse parathion in samples on plates coated with methyl-parathion antibody. With these foods, and with water samples, near-quantitative recoveries of spiked methyl-parathion or parathion were usually obtained, while with high-fat foods (milk and butter) and strongly coloured foods recoveries were poorer.

Water-miscible solvent extracts of high-moisture, low-fat foods such as cauliflower, cabbage, green and red blue grapes and tomato caused little or no interference with the assays, enabling methanol or acetonitrile extracts of the foods to be analysed directly by immunoassay, after dilution in assay buffer. Reasonable recoveries of spikes of these pesticides were obtained by direct analysis of extracts of spiked commodities, with reliable detection down to 0.025 mg kg super(-1) heptachlor or endosulfan and 0.1 mg kg super(-1) DDT in the commodities. Acetonitrile extracts of milk could also be analysed directly for DDT. In contrast, extracts of low moisture, non-fatty (rice) and fatty (cottonseed) food commodities interfered appreciably with the assays, reducing assay colour and detection sensitivity. Some simple cleanup methods were developed to remove interference and enable detection of spiked organochlorines in these foods. Extracts of coloured foods, such as tea, coffee and spinach caused similarly major interference in the assays, and a number of simple clean-up methods were ineffective in removing interference. However, use of an immunoaffinity chromatography method for cyclodienes enabled quantitative recoveries to be obtained in extracts of several of these foods when analysed by either ELISA or gas chromatography. Direct analysis was suited for screening purposes but immunoaffinity chromatography results were more quantitative. These results indicate that ELISAs can be applied under developing country conditions to a range of diverse foods, but that cleanup strategies need to be tailored to different types of foods.

However what evidence is there to support this technique? Further, is the evidence sufficient to justify teaching the technique? Until the last decade there was very little evidence to support the use of squat lifting of low-lying objects. Semi-squat lifting has been the centre of renewed interest in recent years. However there is less evidence for semi-squat, either for or against, than for stoop and squat techniques. Whilst it may provide a reasonable compromise between stoop and squat, it may be a mixture of the disadvantages of stoop and squat or even create new problems. Stoop lifting is commonly understood to be 'incorrect'. The vast majority of advice literature on lifting technique recommends against using stoop lifting. However some research results actually support the use of stoop lifting. This paper summarises the available evidence in support of using squat, semi-squat and stoop techniques to lift low-lying objects. Evidence is presented under headings of psychophysical, physiological, biomechanical, subjective, performance and clinical. No previous publication summarising this evidence could be found, and the results may be surprising to many.Relevance to industry JF - International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics AU - Straker, L AD - School of Physiotherapy, Curtin University of Technology, GPO Box U1987, Perth WA 6845, Australia, l.straker@curtin.edu.au Y1 - 2003/03// PY - 2003 DA - Mar 2003 SP - 149 EP - 160 VL - 31 IS - 3 SN - 0169-8141, 0169-8141 KW - biomechanics KW - lifting KW - physiology KW - posture KW - Health & Safety Science Abstracts KW - H 10000:Ergonomics/Human Factors UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/18724545?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Ahealthsafetyabstracts&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=International+Journal+of+Industrial+Ergonomics&rft.atitle=Evidence+to+support+using+squat%2C+semi-squat+and+stoop+techniques+to+lift+low-lying+objects&rft.au=Straker%2C+L&rft.aulast=Straker&rft.aufirst=L&rft.date=2003-03-01&rft.volume=31&rft.issue=3&rft.spage=149&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=International+Journal+of+Industrial+Ergonomics&rft.issn=01698141&rft_id=info:doi/10.1016%2FS0169-8141%2802%2900191-9 LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2006-11-01 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0169-8141(02)00191-9 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Arbuscular mycorrhizae in wheat and field pea crops on a low P soil: increased Zn-uptake but no increase in P-uptake or yield AN - 18715777; 5603793 AB - Few field studies have investigated the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to agricultural systems. In this study, the role of AMF in nutrition and yield of dryland autumn-sown wheat and field pea was examined through a 2-year crop sequence experiment on a red loam (Kandosol) in SE Australia. The soil was P-deficient and had low levels of root pathogens. In Year 1, levels of AMF were increased by growing subterranean clover or Linola super( TM) and decreased by growing canola or through maintenance of bare fallow with herbicides or tillage. In Year 2, hosts of AMF (wheat and field pea) and non-mycorrhizal canola were grown with 0 P or 20 kg ha super(-1) of P as superphosphate. Yields of all Year 2 crops were increased by P-fertiliser. Year 1 treatment led to 2-3 fold variation in colonisation by AMF at each P-level for Year 2 wheat and field pea. High colonisation did not correspond with greater crop growth, yield, or uptake of P, K, Ca, Cu or S in wheat or field pea. However, total crop Zn-uptake and grain Zn concentration were positively correlated with colonisation by AMF, due to enhanced Zn-uptake after anthesis. For wheat, high colonisation also corresponded with reduced Mn-uptake and lower grain Mn concentrations. In a glasshouse experiment using a second P-deficient Kandosol, inoculation of wheat with Glomus intraradices and Scutellospora calospora enhanced uptake of Zn and P when no P-fertiliser was applied. We conclude that high colonisation by AMF is unimportant for productivity of the major field crops grown on the Kandosol soils that occupy large areas of cropland in temperate SE Australia, even under P-limiting conditions. Investigation of the factors that control functioning of arbuscular mycorrhizae under field conditions, especially temperature, is required.

Of the human chlamydial diseases, sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis is a major public health concern. Chlamydia trachomatis replicates intracellularly and is characterised by a complex developmental cycle. Chlamydia is susceptible to humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Here we investigate the Th1 cell-mediated immune response against Chlamydia-infected cells as the response changes over the chlamydial developmental cycle. We suggest a form for the immune response over one developmental cycle by modelling the change in the number of intracellular chlamydial particles and assume peptides are presented in proportion to the number of replicating forms of chlamydial particles. We predict, perhaps non- intuitively, that persistent Chlamydia should be induced and forced not to return to the lytic cycle. We also suggest that extending the length of the time of the lytic cycle will effectively decrease the required efficacy of the Th1 response to eliminate the pathogen. We produce plots of active disease progression, control and clearance for varying levels of Th1 effectiveness.

Mortality was high throughout the post-hatching stage, with no N. tetricus surviving beyond 24 hours post-hatching. Notolabrus fucicola late yolk sac larvae showed no clear incremental structure in their sagittal otoliths up to 9 days post-hatch. The radius of the sagittae of these late yolk sac larvae corresponded with the radius of a non-incremental region around the primordium of sagittae taken from post-settlement juveniles of both species captured in the wild. Therefore, it is likely that the first increment is formed at or near yolk sac absorption in these species. Post-settlement juveniles of both species were exposed to oxytetracycline (OTC) and held in aquaria for up to 33 days. Post-OTC increment counts showed that increments were formed daily in the sagittae of both species.

The parents of the study children completed a food diary during the 2 d before and on the day of urine sampling, and they were also surveyed as to the use of pesticides in their residences. Results revealed that parents of children with conventional diets were more likely to have used pesticides than parents of children with organic diets, and the frequently reported pesticides included pyrethrins, glyphosate, cyfluthrin, imidachloprid, and fipronil. Of the five dialkylphosphate metabolites targeted, dimethylthiophosphate was the dominant one, found at detectable levels in 87% of all urine samples, while diethylthiophosphate was found almost as often. Children with organic diets, however, had significantly lower levels of total dimethyl metabolites in their urine than did children with conventional diets, and significance remained when participants who reported residential pesticide use were excluded. Calculation of individual dimethyl organophosphate pesticide doses revealed that doses for children with conventional diets were significantly higher than those for children with organic diets for oxydemeton-methyl, azinphos-methyl, phosmet, and malathion.

The pulmonary function measurements included forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV sub(1)), and the ambient pollution indicators were sulfur dioxide and total suspended particulates. Results showed that, over the study period, mean annual ambient total suspended particulate and SO sub(2) concentrations declined dramatically. The prevalence of bronchitis, frequent colds, febrile infections, and shortness of breath declined within each of the surveys. Linear regression of the data revealed that the adjusted increase of the geometric mean for a 50 mu g/m super(3) decrease in total suspended particulate was 4.4% for FVC and 4.7% for a 100 mu g/m super(3) decrease of SO sub(2). The effects on FEV sub(1) were smaller than the effects on FVC, and none of the effects were significant.

The studies include the Dutch cohort, the Oswego cohort, the German cohort, the Farroe Islands cohorts, the Inuit cohort, the New Bedford cohort, the Collaborative Perinatal Project and Child Health and Development Study cohorts, the Yu-Cheng cohort, the Michigan cohort, and the North Carolina cohort. For each, exposure indices and neuropsychological measures used are described. Analysis of the findings reveals that only the study conducted in North Carolina has failed to find any association between PCB exposure and cognitive outcomes. Even when the levels of exposure are low, negative impacts on cognitive functioning are being reported.

The basic study protocol is outlined. The ALAD polymorphism in exon 4 was determined by polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism. A significant linear relationship of serum uric acid with patella Pb was found among ALAD 1-2/2-2 genotype individuals who had patella Pb levels greater than an apparent threshold of 15 mu g/g. There was also a suggestion of a linear relationship of serum uric acid with patella Pb among ALAD 1-1 genotype individuals, but with a much higher apparent threshold. The difference between genotypes was striking, suggesting that ALAD status modifies the relationship between Pb and hyperuricemia, with ALAD 1-2/2-2 individuals having a higher risk for Pb-induced hyperuricemia. Bone Pb level was associated positively with serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance was associated significantly and negatively with bone Pb, especially patella Pb.

The mortality status for the cohort was updated annually through 1998. Individual dose estimates were modeled using the location of residence in relation to TMI and data on movements in and out of the area during the 10 d after the accident. Natural environmental background exposure estimates were also assigned based on direct measurements recorded with a scintillation detector. Based on statistical analysis of the mortality data, it was found that total mortality was elevated significantly for men and women living within 5 mi of the TMI facility when compared with a local population. The majority of the increase was attributed to deaths from heart disease. Overall, no consistent evidence was found that radioactivity released during the accident has had a significant impact on the mortality experience of the cohort. However, an increased risk of all lymphatic and hematopoietic tissue cancers in males for maximum gamma exposure and in females for background gamma exposure was found and should be studied further.

Results revealed that trans- and cis-1,2-diphenylcyclobutane, 1,3-diphenylpropane, and 2,4-diphenyl-1-butene were converted to metabolites with estrogenic activity by liver microsomal enzymes. trans-1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylcyclobutane was found to be a major active metabolite of trans-1,2-diphenylcyclobutane in the liver microsomal system, which was stimulated by pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital, suggesting the influence of cytochrome P4502B. A possible metabolic activation pathway of proestrogenic trans- and cis-1,2-diphenylcyclobutane is provided.

The residue quantity and metabolic profiles associated with bisphenol A residues in tissues, including fetuses, were determined. In addition, pregnant mice were dosed subcutaneously with 50 mg/kg bisphenol A, and nonpregnant mice were dosed orally with 25 mu g/kg. The metabolic balance studies revealed that bisphenol A residues were mainly excreted through the digestive tract, and at 24 h, 21 and 6% of the radioactivity injected to pregnant mice had been excreted in feces and urine, respectively, while the digestive tract and its content accounted for an additional 45%. Measured blood radioactivity levels averaged 24 ng/g of bisphenol A equivalent in pregnant mice. The compound was adsorbed readily and distributed to ovaries, uterus, and fetuses. Fecal radioactivity was associated mainly with unchanged bisphenol A, although traces of metabolites were detected. Bisphenol A easily crossed the placental barrier and was present both in fetuses and in the reproductive tract of mothers.

Chlorpyrifos was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and injected subcutaneously in a volume of 1 ml/kg body weight. For prenatal exposure, dams were injected daily with doses of 140 mg/kg, and 24 h after the last injection, fetuses were removed and brains were dissected. For the postnatal exposure, animals were given 1 mg/kg daily on postnatal days 14, and for older animals, daily treatment with 5 mg/kg was given on postnatal days 1114. Results showed that either prenatal or postnatal chlorpyrifos exposure evoked abnormalities in the expression of neuroproteins associated with oligodendrocytes, with neuronal cell bodies, and with axonal projections. While prenatal or late postnatal treatment had significant effects, chlorpyrifos exposure in the immediate neonatal period did not. The results suggested that the critical window of vulnerability of the developing brain to chlorpyrifos extended from gestational exposure through later periods of development in which glial-neuronal interactions influenced brain architecture, circuitry, and function.

The sediments were contaminated with PAHs, PCBs, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, silver, vanadium, and zinc. Results are presented in terms of the extent of digestive gland lesions, ovarian lesions, and testicular lesions, as well as effects on acid phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, gamma -glutamyl transpeptidase, cytochrome P4501A, and cytoplasmic glycogen. The most common histopathologic lesions detected were digestive cell and germ cell necroses and inflammations in both digestive gland and gonad, especially the female gonad. At least one digestive gland lesion and one female gonadal lesion correlated significantly with the organic sediment contaminants. Among the histochemical biomarkers, only the activity of acid phosphatase was correlated with the concentration of sediment heavy metals, PAHs, and PCBs.

A 1 gauss exposure was selected, based on the range of magnetic field exposures found in industrial and residential environments. After each exposure, phosphorylation, cellular redistribution, and total amount of heat shock protein 27 were assessed. Results showed that neither short- nor long-term exposure had any detectable effect on heat shock protein 27 phosphorylation in either normal keratinocytes or in the immortalized HaCaT keratinocyte line. Similarly, heat shock protein 27 translocation was not observed, nor was protein synthesis.

While involving the public in waste-transportation decisions has been deemed a good idea, the technical complexities of the material are assumed to be a barrier to meaningful participation. In this study, a case study evaluation design was used to synthesize the results from three interactions to assess stakeholder information needs. The three cases involved community focus groups, participant surveys at the regional nuclear-waste transportation workshops held in 1997 in four regions across the US, and the development of visual tools to aid complex discussions that came out of a second round of dialogue with stakeholders convened by the League of Women Voters in 1998. Four common themes emerged: scientists need to work with stakeholders and tribes to develop creative methods to make complex information accessible to the lay public; underrepresented groups require specialized communication efforts to ensure participation; multiple approaches and iterative processes are needed to ensure that dialogue includes technological, stakeholder, and tribal expertise; and there is a need for transparent decision processes and outcomes.

The trichloroethylene exposure concentrations were 0, 2.5 ppb, 250.0 ppb, 1.5 ppm, and 1,100.0 ppm. No noncardiac congenital abnormalities were found, but there were significant differences between exposure groups both in the incidence of abnormal hearts and in the incidence of litters with one or more abnormal hearts. Probit analysis indicated that a trichloroethylene concentration of 2,692 ppm was required to produce abnormal hearts in 50% of the fetuses. The types of heart defects found included: absent coronary artery, enlarged coronary artery sinus, secondum-type arterial septal defects, aortic valve defect with fused leaflets creating aortic valvular stenosis, aortic valve defect with fenestrated leaflets, hypoplastic mitral valve annulus, hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus, d-transposition, atrioventricular canal, and both membranous and muscular ventricular septal defects.

Blood samples were collected and analyzed, and questionnaires were used to obtain data on lifestyle/medical factors, as well as on diet. Age was found to be a significant determinant of serum concentrations of all studied organochlorines, with concentrations of PCBs and chlorinated pesticides increasing 1.84.3%/yr, on average. The concentrations of selected PCB congeners, p,p'-DDE, hexachlorobenzene, and beta -hexachlorocyclohexane were associated positively with body mass index, while PCB 156 and PCB 180 were associated negatively. Women with diabetes mellitus had significantly higher mean concentrations of hexachlorobenzene. A positive association was discerned between concentrations of PCB congeners and the intake of fatty fish, except for congeners 138 and 180. No associations were found between PCBs and organochlorines in blood and total fish consumption.

Seedling losses were widespread throughout the state and were most frequent between February and April 1999. Up to 47% of seedlings and 88% of mature plants on some properties were infected by A. radicina. Isolations from diseased plants showed that A. radicina attacked carrots at all stages, causing damping-off, and rotting of roots, crowns, seedlings, petioles, leaves and crowns of maturing carrots. Up to 70% of mature carrots with crown and shoulder infections were unmarketable. Of the 19 lines of commercial seed tested, 18 were infected with A. radicina with the highest infection level of 35% occurring on imported seed. A. radicina at levels between 0.2 and 14% was also found in 11 of 16 seed batches treated with thiram and/or iprodione. Isolates of A. radicina from seeds or infected seedlings were pathogenic to carrot seedlings and carrot discs. Alternaria dauci was also isolated from two seed samples, with levels of infection ranging from 0.1-0.3%, and on foliage in three of the eight carrot growing regions.

The differences arose because when the laws were enacted, light trucks were used differently and accounted for a much smaller share of the automobile market. Their share of the new automobile market has increased substantially over the last decade, and EPA has ruled that by model year 2009, emissions from all light trucks and passenger cars will be treated equally. DOT will also tighten fuel economy standards for light trucks starting in model year 2005.

While this aspect of the microbial loop is undoubtedly important, further aspects of bacterial roles in marine food webs exist which have not been fully considered in light of recent research in related fields. The concept of bacteria providing essential nutrients may derive importance from two aspects of their role in the marine environment; firstly as a primary food source for omnivorous, sestonivorous and filtering benthic animals and secondly as components of the commensal microbial communities of marine animals. Many marine organisms lack the de novo ability to produce n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and hence rely on a dietary supply of PUFA. The issue of PUFA origin in the marine food web is particularly salient in light of recent research demonstrating the influence of PUFA levels on the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels. The assumption that microalgae provide the bulk of de novo PUFA production for all marine food webs must be actively reviewed with respect to particular microbial niches such as sea ice, marine animals and abyssal communities.

The TMDL program has become controversial, partly because of requirements and costs now facing states to implement the 30-yr old provision. Costs will also be imposed on industries, cities, farmers, and others who may be required to use new pollution controls to meet TMDL requirements. EPA issued rules to revise and strengthen the program in 2000 but withdrew them in 2002 while it considers initiating an entirely new rule or other options.

AN - 73098439; 12635397 AB - Anaesthetic machines are prepared for use with patients who are susceptible to malignant hyperpyrexia (MH) by flushing with oxygen at 10 l/min for ten minutes to reduce the anaesthetic concentration to 1 part per million (ppm) or less. Anaesthetic workstations are now often used in place of traditional machines. Workstations have greater internal complexity, and it is not known if they can be made safe for susceptible patients by flushing with oxygen. We used a high sensitivity infrared gas analyser to measure the washout of isoflurane from five Datex-Ohmeda workstations. Measurements were then repeated with a patient breathing circuit. Isoflurane washout occurred in an exponential manner. The time to reach a concentration of 1 ppm at the fresh gas outlet was 17 +/- 7 minutes, and all machines had reached less than 2 ppm by ten minutes. The washout of isoflurane from the machine and patient breathing circuit was much slower than from the machine alone, with a concentration less than 2 ppm reached only after 30 minutes. We conclude that the Datex-Ohmeda workstation can be prepared for use in MH susceptible patients by flushing with oxygen at 10 l/min for ten minutes. Flushing of the patient breathing system is not straightforward, and we recommend using a clean T-piece circuit. If the circle system and ventilator are required for anaesthesia, we suggest using new breathing hoses, rebreathing bag and soda lime cartridge, and ventilating an artificial lung for 30 minutes with a fresh gas flow rate of 10 l/min and tidal volume of 1 litre.

AN - 72987177; 12559594 AB - The purpose of this review is to highlight the developments in coupled-column gas chromatography methods for qualitative analysis of selected environmental toxicants such as dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), etc. In particular, the new technique of GC x GC will be introduced, and its role, and the promise it offers to this field is discussed. The benefits of enhanced separation to quantitative analysis will be considered. In order to perform an accurate risk assessment, both the dose and biological effects of environmental toxicants have to be determined with a high degree of certainty. This is most often achieved by using chromatographic methods. Given the complexity of most environmental sample extracts, single-column gas chromatography is unable to fully resolve all the components of interest frequently leading to a positive bias in the reported concentrations. Advanced separation tools, such as multidimensional gas chromatography (MDGC), were investigated quite early and demonstrated improvements in separation. However, limitations in the number of target analytes that could be analyzed in a single run as well as insufficient robustness lead to a continued interest in alternative solutions. The parallel development of mass spectrometric identification and quantification strategies proved useful in many cases, although it frequently failed to provide positive identification of chromatographically unresolved isomeric compounds. More recently, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) may offer a solution to that problem, especially because it offers enhanced resolution for complex mixtures containing trace level environmental toxicants.

AN - 72973863; 12539140 AB - The toxicity of petroleum hydrocarbons to marine aquatic organisms has been widely investigated; however, the effects on freshwater environments have largely been ignored. Selected biomarkers were measured in a freshwater species, the crimson-spotted rainbowfish (Melanotaenia fluviatilis). Fish were exposed to either a water-accommodated fraction (WAF) of crude oil or a dispersed crude oil water-accommodated fraction (DCWAF) for 3 days and were depurated for 14 days. Generally, biomarkers were altered following the short-term exposures but recovered after 14 days of depuration. Metabolic enzymes measured in gill tissue were citrate synthase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). As a result of WAF and DCWAF exposures, citrate synthase and LDH activities increased. Enzyme activities returned to control levels following depuration. Subsequent to the WAF exposure, hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity levels were higher than controls and they returned to control levels during depuration. For the DCWAF exposure, EROD was induced by a TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons) concentration of 14.5 mg/L; however, after depuration the 14.5 mg/L TPH group had lower EROD activity than did controls. There were no changes in liver- to body-weight ratios or the histopathological organization of gill or liver tissues. As the majority of biomarkers returned to control levels after 14 days of depuration, rainbowfish were able to recover from short-term exposures to crude oil and dispersed crude oil.

We measured TCAA in archived urine samples from a reference population of 402 adults using isotope-dilution high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. TCAA was detected in 76% of the samples examined at concentrations ranging from < 0.5 mu g TCAA/L to more than 25 mu g/L; the 90th percentile concentration was 23 mu g/L (22 mu g TCAA/g creatinine); and the geometric mean and median concentrations were 2.9 pg/L (2.6 mu g/g creatinine) and 3.3 mu g/L (3.2 mu g/g creatinine), respectively. The frequency of detection of TCAA in urban areas was higher than in rural areas (p = 0.00007), and sex and place of residence (i.e., urban vs. rural) were found to have a significant interaction in modulating the levels of TCAA (p = 0.012). Urban residents had higher mean levels of TCAA (men, 5.3 mu g/L, 3.8 mu g/g creatinine; women, 2.9 mu g/L, 2.8 mu g/g creatinine) than did rural residents (men, 2.2 mu g/L, 1.7 mu g/g creatinine; women, 2.6 mu g/L, 2.7 mu g/g creatinine). The higher frequency of detection of TCAA in urban than in rural areas and higher levels of TCAA among urban than among rural residents may reflect the fact that urban residents use primarily chlorinated water from public water supplies, whereas those in rural areas are more likely to obtain water from private wells, which typically are not chlorinated.

However, concern still exists over whether diatom communities developing on artificial substrata accurately represent communities developing on natural substrata. This study compares the diatom communities colonising glass slides and clay tiles in two coastal dune lakes, and compares these communities to the naturally occurring communities in the epipelon, epilithon, and epiphyton. Both glass microslides and clay tiles, incubated for three separate periods ranging from 29 to 68 days, resulted in replicate substratum samples supporting similar diatom community compositions at each site. The degree of variation between artificial substrata communities at different sites, and between the two artificial substrata types, was generally no more than the degree of variation between communities on different types of natural substrata. Additionally, the composition of the diatom communities on the artificial substrata was representative of the community composition on the natural substrata.

Acacia nilotica is a spinescent woody legume that has become highly invasive in several parts of the world, including Australia where it has been declared a weed of national significance. Understanding the likely potential distribution of this notorious plant under current and future climate scenarios will enable policy makers and land managers to prepare appropriate strategies to manage the invasion. 2. CLIMEX was used to synthesize available information from diverse sources to model the invasion potential of A. nilotica and gain insights into the climatic factors limiting its range expansion. The model identified areas at risk of further invasion so that early preventative or ameliorative measures could be undertaken in a timely manner. 3. The potential distribution of A. nilotica in Australia under current climatic conditions is vast, and far greater than the current distribution. 4. Global climate change is likely to increase markedly the potential distribution of A. nilotica in Australia, significantly increasing the area at risk of invasion. The factors of most importance are the expected increases in water-use efficiency of A. nilotica due to increased atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations, allowing it to invade more xeric sites further inland, and increased temperatures, allowing it to complete its reproductive life cycle further southward (poleward). 5. Synthesis and applications. Simple paddock quarantine procedures may provide a means of limiting the range of A. nilotica within its potential distribution under current, as well as future, climate scenarios. The projected increased growth potential of A. nilotica throughout its current range suggests that if future management patterns result in seed pods lying unconsumed on the ground, heightened vigilance may be required to identify and eradicate new invasion foci arising from flood dispersal. The increased growth potential may also result in an alteration of the economic balance, in favour of harvesting A. nilotica for agroforestry or local bioenergy projects. A crucial component in containing this invasion will be raising public awareness of the invasion threat posed by A. nilotica, its identification and suitable control techniques.

However, the significance of individual exposure and the involved mechanisms remain uncertain. We measured personal PM sub(2.5) and carbon black exposure in 50 students four times in 1 year and analyzed blood samples for markers of protein and lipid oxidation, for red blood cell (RBC) and platelet counts, and for concentrations of hemoglobin and fibrinogen. We analyzed protein oxidation in terms of gamma -glutamyl semialdehyde in hemoglobin (HBGGS) and 2-aminoadipic semialdehyde in hemoglobin (HBAAS) and plasma proteins (PLAAS), and lipid peroxidation was measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma. Median exposures were 16.1 mu g/m super(3) for personal PM sub(2.5) exposure, 9.2 mu g/m super(3) for background PM sub(2.5) concentration, and 8.1 x 10 super(-6)/m for personal carbon black exposure. Personal carbon black exposure and PLAAS concentration were positively associated (p < 0.01), whereas an association between personal PM sub(2.5) exposure and PLAAS was only of borderline significance (p = 0.061). A 3.7% increase in MDA concentrations per 10 mu g/m super(3) increase in personal PM sub(2.5) exposure was found for women (p < 0.05), whereas there was no significant relationship for the men. Similarly, positive associations between personal PM sub(2.5) exposure and both RBC and hemoglobin concentrations were found only in women (p < 0.01). There were no significant relationships between background PM sub(2.5) concentration and any of the biomarkers. This suggests that exposure to particles in moderate concentrations can induce oxidative stress and increase RBCs in peripheral blood. Personal exposure appears more closely related to these biomarkers potentially related to cardiovascular disease than is ambient PM sub(2.5) background concentrations.

In a sample of 263 nonsmoking African-American and Dominican women, we evaluated the effects on birth outcomes of prenatal exposure to airborne PAHs monitored during pregnancy by personal air sampling, along with ETS estimated by plasma cotinine, and an organophosphate pesticide (OP) estimated by plasma chlorpyrifos (CPF). Plasma CPF was used as a covariate because it was the most often detected in plasma and was highly correlated with other pesticides frequently detected in plasma. Among African Americans, high prenatal exposure to PAHs was associated with lower birth weight (p = 0.003) and smaller head circumference (p = 0.01) after adjusting for potential confounders. CPF was associated with decreased birth weight and birth length overall (p = 0.01 and p = 0.003, respectively) and with lower birth weight among African Americans (p = 0.04) and reduced birth length in Dominicans (p < 0.001), and was therefore included as a covariate in the model with PAH. After controlling for CPF, relationships between PAHs and birth outcomes were essentially unchanged. In this analysis, PAHs and CPF appear to be significant independent determinants of birth outcomes. Further analyses of pesticides will be carried out. Possible explanations of the failure to find a significant effect of PAHs in the Hispanic subsample are discussed. This study provides evidence that environmental pollutants at levels currently encountered in New York City adversely affect fetal development.

Studies suggest that organochlorine pesticides may contribute to an increased risk of NHL. In 1974, serum samples were obtained from 25,802 participants in the Campaign Against Cancer and Stroke in Washington County, Maryland (USA), and cryopreserved for future study. We measured prediagnostic levels of chlordane, lindane ( gamma -hexachlorocyclohexane), beta -hexachlorocyclohexane, transnonachlor, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, oxychlordane, dieldrin, and hexachlorobenzene in serum samples of 74 cases of NHL and 147 matched controls. Previously, we found an association between NHL and serum levels of total PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), but not DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and related compounds. In this instance, there was no evidence of an association between NHL risk and serum levels of any of the individual lipid- and recovery-corrected organochlorines that we evaluated, nor of the summed chlordane-related compounds (transnonachlor, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, oxychlordane). These findings do not support the hypothesis that the organochlorine compounds included in this study are strongly linked to the development of NHL. The possibility of a weak association cannot be excluded by these data.

Impaired infant immune system development may be a key predictor of mortality from infectious disease. In this study we aimed to determine the effect of dietary aflatoxin exposure on a number of immune parameters in Gambian children. A cohort of 472 Gambian children 6-9 years of age was recruited. Serum aflatoxin-albumin (AF-alb) adducts were analyzed to provide a measure of exposure. Immune parameters included secretory IgA (sIgA) in saliva, cell-mediated immunity (CMI), determined using the CMI multitest where test antigens are applied to the skin, and antibody responses to both rabies and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines. Birth weight, current anthropometry, and micronutrient status were also recorded. AF-alb adducts were detected in 93% of the children (geometric mean level 22.3 pg/mg; range 5-456 pg/mg). AF-alb level was strongly influenced by month of sampling. In a multivariable analysis, sIgA was markedly lower in children with detectable AF-alb compared with those with nondetectable levels [50.4 mu g/mg protein (95% confidence interval [CI] 48.0-52.8) and 70.2 mu g/mg protein (95% CI 61.1-79.2), respectively; p < 0.0001]. Antibody response to one of four pneumococcal serotypes, but not rabies vaccine, was weakly associated with higher levels of AF-alb. There was no association between CMI responses to test antigens and AF-alb. These data confirm that children in rural Gambia are frequently exposed to high levels of aflatoxin. The study provides evidence that sIgA in saliva may be reduced because of dietary levels of aflatoxin exposure. Given the high burden of infection-related mortality in West Africa, further investigation of the immune effects of aflatoxin exposure in children is merited.

However, the prevalence of diabetes and related vascular diseases in the entire southwestern arseniasis-endemic and nonendemic areas remains to be elucidated. We used the National Health Insurance Database for 1999-2000 to derive the prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes and related vascular diseases by age and sex among residents in southwestern arseniasis-endemic and nonendemic areas in Taiwan. The study included 66,667 residents living in endemic areas and 639,667 in nonendemic areas, all greater than or equal to 25 years of age. The status of diabetes and vascular diseases was ascertained through disease diagnosis and treatment prescription included in the reimbursement claims of clinics and hospitals. The prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, age- and gender-adjusted to the general population in Taiwan, was 7.5% (95% confidence interval, 7.4-7.7%) in the arseniasis-endemic areas and 3.5% (3.5-3.6%) in the nonendemic areas. Among both diabetics and nondiabetics, higher prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular diseases was observed in arseniasis-endemic than in the nonendemic areas. Age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of microvascular disease in endemic and nonendemic areas was 20.0% and 6.0%, respectively, for diabetics, and 8.6% and 1.0%, respectively, for nondiabetics. The corresponding prevalence of macrovascular disease was 25.3% and 13.7% for diabetics, and 12.3% and 5.5% for nondiabetics. Arsenic has been suggested to increase the risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and its related micro- and macrovascular diseases.

To make an experimental assessment of the Neutral Zone of intervertebral joints during dynamic spinal motion in flexion/extension, lateral bending and axial rotation and to develop a criterion for its definition. Design. Dynamic mechanical testing of sheep intervertebral joints with a six-degree of freedom robotic facility under position control. Background. The Neutral Zone is defined as a region of no or little resistance to motion in the middle of an intervertebral joint's range of movement. Previous studies have used quasi-static loading regimes that do not model physiological activity. This study simulated physiological movements using a robotic testing facility to address this issue. Methods. Five spines from mature sheep were used and three motion segments were tested from each spine. The robotic facility enabled the testing regime to be defined for each individual joint based on its geometry. The joints were tested by cycling through the full range of physiological movement in flexion/extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. Results. A Neutral Zone was found to exist during dynamic movements only in flexion/extension. The results suggested that a Neutral Zone does not exist in lateral bending or axial rotation. The zygapophysial joints were shown to be significant in determining the mechanics of the intervertebral joints as their removal increased the Neutral Zone in all cases. A new criterion for defining the size of the Neutral Zone during dynamic motion was proposed and its implications for spinal movements in life discussed. Conclusions. A Neutral Zone exists in flexion/extension during dynamic movements of intervertebral joints and is a feature of the natural range of joint motion. This has important implications for the muscular control of the spine consisting of several intrinsically lax joints stacked on one another.

Hypotheses: Arthrometer measurements are not predictive of peak external knee flexion moment (net quadriceps muscle moment), isokinetic quadriceps muscle strength correlates with peak external knee flexion moment (net quadriceps muscle moment), and isokinetic hamstring muscle strength correlates with peak external knee extension moment (net flexor muscle moment). Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Gait analysis was used to assess dynamic function during walking, jogging, and stair climbing in 44 subjects with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament deficiency and 44 control subjects. Passive knee laxity and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength were also measured. Results: Arthrometer measurements did not correlate with peak external flexion or extension moments in any of the activities tested or with isokinetic quadriceps or hamstring muscle strength. Test subjects also had a significantly reduced peak external flexion moment during all three jogging activities and stair climbing compared with the control subjects and this was correlated with significantly reduced quadriceps muscle strength. Conclusions: Absolute knee laxity difference did not correlate with dynamic knee function as assessed by gait analysis and should not be used as a sole predictor for the outcome of treatment. Patients with greater than normal strength in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient limb performed low- and high-stress activities in a more normal fashion than those with normal or less-than-normal strength.

An assay system was developed to analyse bacterial behavioural responses to point-like nutrient sources (beads 10-40 mu m). The marine bacteria Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis, Shewanella putrefaciens, Deleya marina, the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli and an enriched assemblage of marine bacteria were used in the assay. E. coli responded to the amino acids (e.g. serine, leucine) in this assay in a manner similar to the classical capillary plating method, and accumulated near the attractants using biased random walks and maximum speeds of less than 30 mu m s super(-1). The marine bacteria travelled more than 100 mu m s super(-1) and reversed direction instead of randomly tumbling to reorientate. Marine bacteria also showed different chemotactic responses. The enriched marine community and P. haloplanktis were repelled by serine while leucine was an attractant for all three marine isolates. More importantly marine bacteria formed band specific distances (>20 mu m) away from individual beads. The bands were composed of free-swimming bacteria rather than bacteria attached to the beads or chamber surfaces. The bands' formation time (25-180 s) and width (5-20 mu m) varied depending on the bacterial strains and attractant. This variation in chemotactic responses by the marine isolates may reflect adaptations to specific ecological niches of bacterioplankton in the ocean. However, band forming ability by marine bacteria has still only been reported in experimental studies, nutrient coupling between nutrient sources and bands of chemotactic marine bacteria have yet to be detected in the natural environment. The fragility of the bands, a clear association between free-swimming bacteria and nutrient, indicates the difficulty and potentially sets limits for finding microzones of bacteria around particles in the open ocean.

Contacts between these groups and sexual differences in dispersal behaviour interacted with the landscape mosaic at a number of spatial scales to produce a hierarchically structured population with four levels of organization: (1) groups, which were the basic breeding unit; (2) social neighbourhoods, where group interactions were frequent, and male dispersal and female postnatal and breeding dispersal occurred; (3) local population neighbourhoods, which contained social neighbourhoods between which female natal dispersal was frequent; and (4) metapopulations, which contained local population neighbourhoods between which dispersal was infrequent. The boundaries of these structural units, with the exception of the group, were not discrete and were influenced by the structure of the landscape they occupied. Interactions between groups occupying different patches were rare, and the frequency of group interactions was lower in small patches. Male dispersal was restricted to groups within the same patch or in patches less than 1 km apart. Therefore, decreasing patch size and increasing patch isolation resulted in smaller social neighbourhoods. Males generally dispersed to smaller groups and these dispersals may have enhanced the productivity of these groups by increasing their size. Therefore, habitat loss and fragmentation are likely to disrupt social neighbourhoods resulting in lower levels of social interaction and reduced productivity. The size and configuration of local populations were dependent on female natal dispersal, which in turn depended on landscape connectivity. White-browed Babblers used remnant vegetation in preference to other landscape elements when dispersing, but were not dependent solely on corridors. The permeability to dispersal of the boundaries between remnants and agricultural vegetation was dependent on patch configuration. Changes in boundary permeability were found to alter connectivity between habitat patches in a complex and asymmetric manner. Therefore, it is essential to consider landscape connectivity in a spatially explicit context for species that use some elements of the landscape mosaic in preference to others when dispersing. Habitat loss and fragmentation impose a complex set of changes, at a number of different scales, to processes that affect aspects of a species' life history. In order to manage species in fragmented agricultural landscapes it is necessary to understand the hierarchical structure of their populations, and how processes affect the different organizational levels within this structure.

The snow samples cover the period similar to 1840 to 1990. They were taken from the walls of a pit to a depth of 7.8 m and as a core to 16 m; ultraclean procedures were used. Detailed laboratory subsampling provided both long-term (secular scale) and short-term (intra-annual) Pb, Ba, and Pb isotope variations. The results show that there have been significant variations in Pb concentrations (range, 0.1 to 9.3 pg/g) and isotopic composition (range, 1.096 to 1.208 for super(206)Pb/ super(207)Pb ratio) since the 1840s. The data show evidence of pollution for this metal in Antarctica as early as the 1880s. Several Pb maxima were observed: the first at the beginning of the 20th century and the last in the 1970s to 1980s, with a clear decrease during recent years. Although the last maximum is clearly linked to the rise and fall in the use of leaded gasoline in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in South America, the reason for the first remains uncertain. The pattern of changing isotopic composition of Pb reveals the changing origin and character of the anthropogenic inputs to Antarctica. An interesting feature in this pattern is the relatively large contribution of unradiogenic Pb in the similar to 1890s, possibly originating from Australia. Another interesting feature is the pronounced intra-annual variation in the isotopic composition of Pb, which illustrates the complexity of the changing inputs of Pb to Antarctica.

A scaling procedure of the CALINE4 package is developed and justified. A new efficient method of determination of the average emission factor for fine particle emission from the average fleet (one average vehicle) on a given road is also developed. This method is based on measurements of the average particle number concentration at just one point near the road. An example of a specific road in the Brisbane area, Australia, is considered. The average emission factor for vehicles on this road is calculated to be ~4.5x10 super(14) particle/vehicle/mile. The obtained scaling coefficient is shown to be correct, and the procedure is directly applicable for the analysis of an arbitrary road with different types of vehicles and their average speed. Good agreement between the experimental results and the predicted theoretical dependencies of concentration on distance from the road clearly confirms the applicability of the CALINE4 package for the analysis of propagation of fine particle aerosols from a busy road. Statistical analysis of the experimental and theoretical results demonstrates that the concentration of fine and ultra-fine particles approximately reduces as a power law in distance from the road.

An overview is provided of the classic type I hypersensitivity, looking briefly at the diagnosis of food allergy, the natural history of food allergy, and the limited treatment options. These allergies, which generally present in infancy and usually resolve by school age, include peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, as well as milk, soy, and eggs. Although promising immunotherapy interventions are being developed, the only available therapy currently is avoidance of the problem food and self-treatment with auto-injectable epinephrine.

Relative exposure to perchloroethylene-contaminated water was estimated using an algorithm that accounted for specific information regarding the water pipe that supplied each subject's home. The locations, installation dates, and diameters of the pipes in all public water supply systems in the study area were determined from maps. Women were considered exposed if they had at least one exposed residence during the relevant time period. Results suggested that women with the highest relative delivered dose of perchloroethylene-contaminated drinking water had small to moderate increases in the risk of breast cancer compared with unexposed women.

Here, information is reviewed on the progress being made in a new rat model for such testing, involving the Brown Norway rat. Results are presented from oral sensitization studies of various antigen sources, including food protein extracts and proteins. The oral sensitization protocol is outlined, as well as the challenge reactions in the areas of respiratory function, blood pressure, and gut permeability. The results suggest that oral exposure to food proteins can illicit a significant immunoglobulin E response that can be used to differentiate among proteins with the ability to induce allergic sensitization.

During each prenatal interview, maternal diet for the month prior was assessed using a modified version of the National Cancer Institute Food Questionnaire. Overall, blood Pb concentrations were low, with only one mother and no newborns having a blood Pb level >10 mu g/dl. The strongest predictors of newborn blood Pb concentration were maternal blood Pb concentration in each trimester and at delivery. Greater rates of gain in maternal weight and arm circumference during pregnancy were associated with lower blood Pb concentrations in newborns. Multivariate analysis revealed significant negative relationships between neonatal blood Pb and maternal intakes of iron and calcium, but not zinc, protein, or fat, and among the nutrients, maternal Fe intake had the largest impact.

The use of animals models to investigate food allergy is examined. While no validated animal model is currently available for determining the sensitizing threshold of food allergens that can be extrapolated to or predictive of the human allergic response, such models are being used to assess different mechanisms involving immunoglobulin E-mediated responses. The criteria for animal models are outlined, and two nonmurine animal models, the atopic dog model and the neonatal swine model, are described, which closely mimic allergic diseases in humans.

The production and characterization of HLA transgenic mice are described, which are being developed to study the genetic and molecular basis of allergic response. The identification of HLA class II restricted epitopes of allergens in transgenic mice is described and discussed, citing specific study results, and HLA transgenic mice are described as a model for allergen-induced asthma. The findings reported to date suggest that HLA class II transgenic mice may be useful for finding new immune-based therapies for allergic asthma.

Here, the right to know is placed within the context of public and environmental health ethics by developing a perspective of relational ethics grounded in fostering autonomy as the basis for the right to know, environmental justice, and community-based discourse. Consequential ethics, deontological ethics, and environmental justice are considered, arguing that public health and environmental ethics need to be grounded in particular human relationships and our ongoing relationship with the environment. The perspective of fostering autonomy through mutually respectful relationships is discussed in the areas of disaster planning and emergency response, and food contamination.

Relative testis weight was significantly lower than controls in male offspring of dams treated with bisphenol A. The treated mice had high aggression scores at eight weeks of age, after which time aggression diminished, while contact time in the control mice increased gradually from weeks eight to 12. Serum testosterone concentrations were lower at 12 weeks of age in both exposed groups compared to controls, but the differences were not significant.

A distance-weighted traffic density value was calculated for each subject using annual average daily traffic counts, and ambient air-pollution data were obtained to determine the annual average background concentrations of carbon monoxide, particulates, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. Results revealed an approximately 1020% increase in risk of term low birth weight and preterm birth in infants born to women living close to heavy-traffic roadways. Stronger effects were observed for women whose third trimesters fell during fall/winter months, who lived in high background air-pollution areas, and/or who lived in more impoverished areas.

AN - 72946877; 12517408 AB - The mutagenic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been determined in human lymphocytes. T-lymphocytes mutated at the autosomal HLA-A locus on chromosome 6 have been clonally isolated (N = 2097 clones) and the molecular basis of each clonal mutation characterised as due to intragenic, deletion or mitotic recombination mutation. H(2)O(2) caused a dose dependent increase in mutation frequency. There was no significant increase in the frequency of intragenic mutations. Mitotic recombination (MR) was responsible for 87% of the increase in mutation frequency induced by H(2)O(2) and gene deletion was responsible for 13%. MR results in loss of heterozygosity (LOH) distal to the recombination site. It is known that LOH is important in the initiation and progression of cancer. These results suggest that the biologically important consequence of some ROS may be LOH as a by-product of recombination repair. They also suggest that if our observations apply to ROS generally, then many of the mutations which accumulate with ageing or which are observed in cancer may be due to factors other than ROS.

AN - 85414247; pmid-12558299 AB - Marine petroleum exploration involves the repetitive use of high-energy noise sources, air-guns, that produce a short, sharp, low-frequency sound. Despite reports of behavioral responses of fishes and marine mammals to such noise, it is not known whether exposure to air-guns has the potential to damage the ears of aquatic vertebrates. It is shown here that the ears of fish exposed to an operating air-gun sustained extensive damage to their sensory epithelia that was apparent as ablated hair cells. The damage was regionally severe, with no evidence of repair or replacement of damaged sensory cells up to 58 days after air-gun exposure.

AN - 85365858; pmid-12701757 AB - We used multi-slice helical computerized tomography (MSHCT) to evaluate the 3D characteristics of the laryngeal structures in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) during phonation, and compared the results with those obtained using an aerodynamic vocal function test.The subjects were 37 patients with UVFP. The region over the larynx was scanned during quiet phonation and again during inspiration using MSHCT, and 3D endoscopic and coronal reconstruction images were produced. Maximum phonation time (MPT) and mean airflow rate (MFR) during phonation were measured.During phonation, the affected fold was thinner than the healthy fold in 30 subjects and located at a higher position than the healthy fold in 21 subjects. Abduction or thinning of the affected fold during phonation (paradoxical movement) was seen in seven subjects. MFR was significantly greater when the affected fold was thinner than the healthy fold during phonation, and MPT was significantly shorter when the affected fold showed paradoxical movement. Over-adduction of the healthy fold during phonation was present in 15 subjects. There were no significant differences in MPT or MFR between subjects with and without over-adduction.The combination of MSHCT endoscopic and coronal reconstruction images enables the 3D characteristics of the unilaterally paralyzed larynx to be visualized during phonation, and some of these characteristics are significantly correlated with vocal function in patients with UVFP.

First, studies will be conducted to investigate the phenomenon of thermal taste, in which tastes can be induced by temperature alone. Of particular interest are sources of individual and spatial variation in thermal taste, interactions between thermal taste and chemical taste, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of thermal tastes as they relate to the sensitivity to warmth and cold. Second, the induction and perception of 'phantom' tastes caused by brief bouts of cold stimulation on the front of the tongue will be investigated. These cold-induced phantoms (CIPs) are perceived after rather than during cold stimulation, and are localized away from rather than at the site of cooling. Experiments are proposed to test the hypothesis that CIPs, which reversibly mimic clinical dysgeusias, arise when putative tonic inhibition within and between oral sensory systems is interrupted by cold-block. Third, preliminary observations indicate that capsaicin, the prototypical 'trigeminal' irritant, can evoke significant bitterness in the circumvallate region of the tongue, and that both sensory irritation and perception of warmth are much weaker there than on the tongue tip. Experiments will investigate the possibility that some glossopharyngeal neurons that contribute to perception of bitterness are sensitive to irritants, and more generally, that the relationship between somesthesis and taste is different on the back of the tongue, where both kinds of stimulation are mediated solely by the glossopharyngeal nerve. Overall, these studies will advance our understanding of oral sensory processing in humans as well as provide data on sensory interactions that may be helpful in understanding the source of certain types of oral sensory pathologies (e.g., dysgeusias).

One example of this is in thedisplay of spatial data, such as line graphs, scatter plots, andtwo-dimensional shapes. Although usually presented visually, alternativedisplays in other modalities can sometimes successfully present suchinformation, implying performance equivalencies in informational structuresacross modalities. A series of multi-dimensional scaling tasks will beperformed and the resultant solutions compared to identify the extent to whichequivalent performance is the result of equivalent perceptual structure. Aseries of two-alternative, forced-choice tasks will be performed to demonstratethat the processing of such graphs is in fact one of converting sensory stimuliinto a mental (spatial) representation. Speeded classification tasks withvarious related and unrelated distractors will then be performed to demonstratethe effect of cooperative and counter-operative interaction between themodalities. The culmination of these experiments will help to provide greaterunderstanding into the ways in which previously understood physiologicalmechanisms of individual modalities interact with one another in the(phenomenological) process of perception.

AN - 85268819; pmid-12667532 AB - The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of peripheral (ambient) stimulation on focal visual processing using the far-out jerk effect in normal observers and subgroups with positive- and negative-symptoms in schizophrenia. The far-out jerk effect refers to a reduction in sensitivity of a briefly presented stimulus in central vision in the presence of a sudden movement or oscillation of a stimulus in peripheral vision. In order to measure the far-out jerk effect the focal contrast sensitivity of 5.0Hz modulated sinusoidal target gratings (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 number of cycles per degree (c/degrees )) was measured in the presence of three kinds of peripheral surround: a blank field, a stationary 0.75 c/degrees grating, and a 5.0Hz drifting 0.75 c/degrees grating (far-out jerk effect). The findings showed that there were no significant differences in focal contrast sensitivity between the control and positive-symptom group with a blank field and stationary grating surround. However, a 5.0Hz drifting grating surround resulted in a significant reduction in contrast sensitivity at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 c/degrees in the positive-symptom group. In comparison with the control group the negative-symptom group showed a generalised reduction in focal contrast sensitivity, a significantly smaller far-out jerk effect, and a significant reduction in contrast sensitivity at 0.5 c/degrees with a stationary grating surround. The finding that both stationary and moving peripheral surrounds have an inhibitory effect on focal contrast sensitivity suggests that there is a dispersion in the visual demarcation between stationary and temporal events in the perception of visual motion in the negative-symptom group.

AN - 75712341; 14510193 AB - This paper reports the results of work to allow a more accurate enumeration, and gravimetric determination, of the relative proportions of algae and bacteria within the floccular matrix present in a High Rate Algal Pond (HRAP). Methodology involving a combination of physical and chemical treatments was used and the resulting material was separated using density gradient centrifugation. The "fractions" were analysed using microscopical image analysis. Each "fraction" was categorised as containing bacteria only, algae only or an association of bacteria and algae, the relative proportions of which were then determined by image analysis to enable a "true" gravimetric determination of the algal and bacterial components of HRAP biomass for the first time. The biomass from HRAPs operated both outdoors and in a glasshouse was examined over complete operational seasons to investigate environmental effects as well as possible effects of variation in COD loading rate and retention time on cell biovolumes and cell quotients. In this study, the accurate assessment of both algal and bacterial biomass, determined as cell volume or dry matter, in addition to measurement of carbon and nitrogen has enabled the calculation of cell quotients.

AN - 73518871; 12892766 AB - Intracoronary radiation therapy (IRT) with Sr-90 using the Novoste Beta-Cath system has been shown to be an effective therapy for instent restenosis (ISR), but the temporal occurrence of cardiac events and the predictors of late complications require further investigation. We analyzed the demographics, lesion characteristics and clinical outcomes of 138 consecutive patients with ISR treated with IRT from September 1998 to March 2002. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as death, myocardial infarction (MI) or target vessel revascularization (TVR). Characteristics of early (8 months) failures were analyzed. Thirty-two (23.1%) of 138 patients had MACE on follow-up; 25% (8/32) of failures occurred late after treatment with IRT. A comparison of the clinical and angiographic profile of early and late failures using univariate analysis indicates no correlations to late failure following IRT. Duration to failure after IRT was 14.25+/-3.69 months in the late group compared to 4.63+/-2.86 months in the early group (P<.001). Late MACE after IRT with Sr-90 for ISR occur beyond the traditional period for clinical restenosis in 25% of cases and are difficult to predict. Further study is warranted to identify patients at risk for the development of late complications after IRT.

AN - 73482329; 12875511 AB - The upsurge of urbanization, often poorly planned and uncontrolled, has caused major impacts on human societies for at least two centuries. Urban environments and urbanized lifestyles have strong influences on health and well-being, including on infant and childhood populations in developed and underdeveloped countries, as well as among societies in developmental and environmental transition around the world. Urbanization will inevitably have significant impacts on the health of future generations. Notably, the health consequences of urbanized lifestyles are not confined to residents of cities and large towns but rather are becoming manifest in rapidly changing, previously traditional societies in rural and remote areas because globalization is altering infant feeding practices and the dietary habits and lifestyle patterns of their children. In underdeveloped countries, overcrowding and environmental pollution are huge problems that are exacerbated by undernutrition and infection, particularly respiratory and diarrheal diseases. In developed societies, other problems like injuries; poisonings; violence; drug abuse; exposure to chemical, biological, industrial, and atmospheric pollutants, including pesticides; sexually transmissible diseases; and 'lifestyle' diseases, including obesity and cardiovascular disease risk, are of great current and potential importance.

AN - 73465977; 12859356 AB - The aim of treatment of all patients with epilepsy is the same: a complete remission of seizures with minimal or no adverse events. However, the means to reach that common goal may differ among patients, not only because of differences in their epileptic syndrome or type of seizures within the same syndrome, but also because of a variety of comorbid pathologic entities that are commonly identified in patients with epilepsy. In this article, we discuss some of the complexities inherent in the planning of therapeutic regimens for epilepsy patients. Comorbid conditions, whether intrinsic or extrinsic to the epileptic disorder, must play a paramount role in the choice of the therapeutic regimen for seizure control. We review the impact of psychiatric comorbidities on the quality of life of patients with epilepsy, with special attention to the tight relationship between depression and epilepsy. Yet, despite this close relationship, comorbid depression is more often than not underrecognized and undertreated. Next, we review the impact of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on comorbid medical disorders and give clear examples of the potentially deleterious impact of several AEDs on the therapeutic effects of concomitant medications used for their treatment. Clearly, treating epilepsy is not only about controlling seizures.

AN - 73373579; 12793691 AB - This research investigated faecal pollution by sterol profiling in two Adelaide metropolitan catchments in winter 2000 and summer 2001. Water was sampled from five sites on the River Torrens and two sites on Patawalonga river catchment. The steroids detected were coprostanol, epicoprostanol, cholesterol, cholestanol, stigmasterol, betasitosterol, and stigmastanol. The concentrations range from 5 ng/L (of coprostanol) to 34 microg/L (of stigmasterol), with cholesterol detected more frequently at relatively high concentrations (approximately 2 microg/L). Sterol profiling suggested two sites on two occasions may have been impacted by human faecal contamination. Other steroid profiles suggested that sources of pollution consistently included dogs and birds. The steroid concentrations in the Torrens catchment were higher in winter, however, this was not observed in the Patawalonga catchment.

AN - 73371904; 12807285 AB - One of the major recommendations of the JETACAR report was that a comprehensive national surveillance system be established to measure antimicrobial resistance to cover medical, food-producing and veterinary areas. While there are a number of existing passive surveillance programs on a national, regional and state basis in the medical field, there are few analogous programs in the veterinary area, and none with a particular emphasis on the food chain. The Commonwealth Interdepartmental JETACAR Implementation Group is working with stakeholders to develop this aspect of the national surveillance program based on the Guidelines published by the world organisation for animal health, the Office International des Epizooties.

AN - 73353112; 12793664 AB - Impacts from urban stormwater runoff on receiving environments have been well documented, particularly through specific regional scientific studies. Using various local government planning and management elements, urban developments in Brisbane City are now able to address stormwater management in an increasingly holistic context. One key initiative includes facilitating Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) components within an Integrated Water Management Strategy that looks at policy formation, planning strategies, design option, community marketing and acceptance, maintenance programs and finally evaluation of various WSUD approaches. These can include the use of Natural Channel Designs, grassed swales, bio-filtration systems, porous pavements and roofwater tanks in several economic combinations. By linking with the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology, Brisbane City Council has influenced the design of WSUD planning tools and benefited the city with academic inputs into extensive evaluation programs. As well, it has also contributed to the Cooperative Research Centre's research outcomes. These evaluation programs are increasingly providing better understanding of various stormwater quality best management practices throughout Australia. As part of the overall implementation process, active involvement by a range of stakeholders has been crucial. These stakeholders have included internal planning, development assessment and design staff, external consultants, developers, and other local and state government agencies. The latter two groups are assisting in the important task of "regionalisation" of Brisbane City Council's policies and guidelines. Implementation of WSUD initiatives and stormwater re-use strategies under Council's new "Integrated Water Management" agenda are showing some excellent results, suggesting that sustainable urban development is no longer like the search for the Holy Grail.

There has been a steady fall in the incidence of gastric carcinoma in most societies studied, but a more recent steady rise in the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the cardia and lower esophagus, largely confined to White males. Although the evidence for a major role for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the etiology of gastric corpus cancer is compelling; in Western society, it probably accounts for fewer than half the cases. The relative roles of dietary constituents such as salt and nitrites and the phenotyping of H. pylori in causation and the beneficial effects of a high fruit and vegetable diet and an affluent lifestyle, for all of which there is some evidence, are yet to be quantified.

AN - 72966285; 12534735 AB - The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has increased in Australia at a rate exceeding 10% per annum over the past two decades. In Tasmania the increase has averaged 24% per year between 1982 and 1997. Exposure to ionizing radiation is the best characterized risk factor for PTC. Oncogenic mutations of the RET proto-oncogene (ret/PTC rearrangements) have been associated with PTC arising following radiation exposure. In the present study it was sought to determine if PTC incidence trends were associated with an increased occurrence of the ret/PTC1 rearrangement. All cases of PTC diagnosed in Tasmania during the even numbered years 1978-1998 inclusive were sought for study (n = 98). Archival histopathology blocks for 62 cases were located. The RNA was successfully extracted from 41 tumours and ret/PTC1 status assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The ret/PTC1 mutation was found in 26 (63%) of PTC. The mean age at diagnosis for ret/PTC1-positive and ret/PTC1-negative tumours was 46.5 +/- 15.46 and 41.9 +/- 13.45 years, respectively. The ret/PTC1 positivity was significantly associated with larger tumour size. However, ret/PTC1 was not associated with an adverse prognosis. The prevalence of tumours positive for ret/PTC1 remained stable over the study period (1978-1998) and did not exhibit birth year or diagnosis year clustering. This is the first study to map temporal trends for the prevalence of ret/PTC1 relative to incidence trends for PTC. Although the ret/PTC1 mutation was frequently identified in Tasmanian PTC, there was no clear relationship between ret/PTC1 and recent PTC incidence trends.

AN - 72942502; 12504867 AB - Using a rat brain slice preparation, we investigated the role of energy impairment on the selective loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Brain slices (400 microm) were incubated at 35 degrees C for 2 h in the presence or absence of mitochondrial complex inhibitors, rotenone, MPP+, 3-nitropropionic acid, and antimycin A. Slices were also incubated in rotenone with excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptor antagonists, MK-801 and CNQX, to determine whether rotenone-induced damage was mediated by EAAs. The slices were then fixed, recut into 30-microm sections, and immunolabeled for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) to identify catecholamine neurons and to quantify loss of TH-labeled dendrites after treatment. Quantitative comparison was made between SN dopamine neurons, in which rotenone-induced dendrite loss was severe, and hypothalamic A11 dopamine neurons, which were spared. Adjacent sections that were immunolabeled for calbindin or stained with cresyl violet also revealed a striking dendritic degeneration of SN neurons in rotenone-exposed slices, whereas noncatecholamine neurons, such as those in the perifornical nucleus (PeF), were more resistant. Preferential damage to SN dopamine neurons was also evident with other mitochondrial complex inhibitors, MPP+ and antimycin A. EAA receptor antagonists provided partial protection to SN neurons in slices incubated with rotenone (3 microM). The particular vulnerability of SN dopamine neurons in the slice is consistent with the vulnerability of SN in Parkinson's disease. The selective effect of mitochondrial complex inhibition in SN dopamine neurons implies a fundamental deficit in the capacity of these neurons to defend against toxic insult.

AN - 72883773; 12479898 AB - This study was designed to quantify the relative contributions of extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors to the probability of an injury event. A case-control design was used with data collected from injured patients at an emergency department (n=797) and a community sample matched on area of residence and time of injury (n=797). Principal components analysis was used to develop scales for the measurement of 'intrinsic' risk taking tendencies that were slightly modified versions of previously published measures. Two principal components were identified: 'health risk taking' (HRT) and 'adventurous risk taking' (ART). Logistic regression analysis identified variables that significantly predicted membership of the group of injured cases. The main hypothesis was supported by the results: that 'extrinsic' factors such as location, activity, drug and alcohol use and the type of people present at the time of the injury were related to a greater risk of injury than 'intrinsic' variables (health and adventurous risk taking tendencies). The results suggest that injury research and prevention efforts should continue to focus on the identification and modification of situational risk factors for injury rather developing programs that focus on high-risk individuals. High-risk alcohol use, use of prescribed drugs and aspects of work and recreational environments were identified as warranting particular attention.

Its multiple mechanisms predicted its broad spectrum of efficacy and preclinical experimental data prompted its clinical use. Valproic acid's efficacy has been repeatedly demonstrated in clinical trials over the past 25 years. Its efficacy in the treatment of partial epilepsies is similar or better than both the traditional and new antiepileptic drugs. Its side effect profile is well known and manageable, especially with extended-release formulations.

AN - 71430687; 14653633 AB - The Daly River (catchment 53,000 km2) has the largest flow of all rivers in the Northern Territory and, due to the vast underground aquifers supplying the river, reliable flows of water and areas of high potential soils, is the centre of a region where water resource and agricultural development is being given serious consideration. As part of a larger assessment of environmental flow requirements, an inventory and risk assessment of water dependent ecosystems (wetlands) was undertaken for the Daly basin, a limestone dominated region, 19,382 km2 in size, located in the centre of the catchment. The assessment utilized geographic information system technology to collate, interrogate and analyse soil and topographic data that had been collected previously for the purpose of land capability analysis. The aggregated data were used as a surrogate for mapping the distribution of wetlands in the Daly basin. The land units mapped were composed of individual areas within which the soil, vegetation and landform exhibited a uniform pattern on aerial photographs. The wetland features mapped were classified using landform and hydroperiod as a basis and, to assist in the classification process, a ground-truthing exercise and a basin-wide low-level aerial survey were conducted.

AN - 71361857; 14610936 AB - The Raman spectroscopy of polymer gel dosimeters has been investigated with a view to developing a novel dosimetry technique that is capable of determining radiation dose within a micrometer of spatial resolution. The polymer gel dosimeter, known as the PAG dosimeter, is typically made up of acrylamide, N,N'-methylene-bis--acrylamide, gelatin, and water. A polyacrylamide network within the gelatin matrix forms in response to an absorbed dose. The loss of monomers may be monitored by corresponding changes to the Raman spectrum. Principal component analysis offers a simple method of quantifying the absorbed radiation dose from the Raman spectrum of the polymer gel. The background luminescence in the spectrum increased significantly with dose and is shown to originate in the glass of the sample vial. The competing effects of elastic scatter, which increases with dose due to the formation of polymer, and sample absorption were quantified and found to introduce errors of up to 5% under certain conditions. Raman spectra as a function of distance from the air-surface interface have been measured for samples that were subjected to doses delivered by a clinical linear accelerator.

Strategies and Tools for the Digital Library. AN - 62166367; ED480764 AB - The collection and long-term preservation of digital content pose challenges to the intellectual property regime within which libraries and archives are accustomed to working. How to achieve an appropriate balance between copyright owners and users is a topic of ongoing debate in legal and policy circles. This paper describes copyright rights and exceptions and highlights issues potentially involved in the creation of a nonprofit digital archive. The paper is necessarily very general, since many decisions concerning the proposed archive's scope and operation have not yet been made. The purpose of an archive (e.g., to ensure preservation or to provide an easy and convenient means of access), its subject matter, and the manner in which it will acquire copies, as well as who will have access to the archive, from where, and under what conditions, are all factors critical to determining the copyright implications for works to be included in it. The goal of this paper is to provide basic information about the copyright law for those developing such an archive and thereby enable them to recognize areas in which it could impinge on copyright rights and to plan accordingly.

Hearing before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate. One Hundred Eighth Congress, First Session, Special Hearing (May 13, 2003). AN - 62158698; ED483012 AB - This hearing considers the budget request by the Department of Education for fiscal year 2004 for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. The request by the Department is for $600 million, a sharp reduction of last year's appropriation, which was $993 million. This is a program that serves approximately 1,300,000 students in 1,400 communities throughout the United States. It provides a wide variety of educational experiences and has generally been regarded to be a highly effective program until the Department of Education this year has cited what they conclude to be "disappointing initial findings from a rigorous evaluation." In light of this conclusion, albeit preliminary, the subcommittee concluded that it would be important to have a hearing and go into this issue in some detail.

Hearing held in Washington, DC, March 4, 2003. AN - 62156467; ED481350 AB - A hearing was held to discuss the prior four years of implementation of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, and to recommend further improvements. The opening statements of Chairman Howard McKeon and Dale E. Kildee introduce the meeting and discuss the importance of promoting an educated populace that will maintain the United States' place in the global economy. Next, Assistant Secretary of the Office of Vocational and Adult Education Carol D'Amico suggests that the current federal program for adult literacy is inadequate and recommends focusing on the following criteria to improve it: (1) the instructional component of adult basic and literacy education is essential; (2) academic achievement will be more easily obtained with rigorous content standards and student assessments; (3) funding needs to be focused on what works to encourage adoption of promising instructional strategies; (4) more access and choice should be provided to adult education students; and (5) flexibility is key to literacy education. Next, statements by a director of a non-profit affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a director of human resources, a community college associate vice president of academic and student services, and an adult education participant discuss their experiences with adult literacy. Most of the statements are followed by transcriptions of discussion with the subcommittee. Appendices include written statements of all of the presenters.

Clinical interviews were conducted with 15 students who were enrolled in high school or were recent high school graduates, and who represented a range of mathematical backgrounds. During the clinical interview sessions students were asked how they would go about designing studies to answer several different quantifiable questions. Several levels of sophistication were identified in their responses, and are discussed in terms of the Biggs and Collis (1982, 1991) cognitive model. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.)

It is also commonly believed that the sampling distribution plays an important role in developing this understanding. This study clarifies the role of the sampling distribution in student understanding of statistical inference, and makes recommendations concerning the content and conduct of teaching and learning strategies in this area.

A survey task to construct a graph to represent data about temperature change over time was administered to 133 students in Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9. Four response levels described the degree to which students transformed a table of data into a coordinate graph. "Nonstatistical" responses did not display the data, showing either the context or a graph form only. "Single Aspect" responses showed data along a single dimension, either in a table of corresponding values, or a graph of a single variable. "Inadequate Coordinate" responses showed bivariate data in two-dimensional space but inadequately showed either spatial variation or correspondence of values. "Appropriate Coordinate" graphs displayed both correspondence and variation of values along ordered axes, either as a bar graph of discrete values or as a line graph of continuous variation. These levels of coordinate graph production were then related to levels of response obtained by the same students on two other survey tasks: one involving speculative data generation from a verbal statement of covariation, and the other involving verbal and numerical graph interpretation from a coordinate scattergraph. Features of graphical representations that may prompt student development at different levels are discussed. (Contains 8 figures and 2 tables.)

Kimura, a Japanese science educator, has suggested that a key task of statistical literacy is the ability to extract qualitative information from quantitative information, and/or to create new information from qualitative and quantitative information. This article presents research that offers a theoretical basis using the SOLO Taxonomy to capture students' ability to create new information from qualitative and quantitative information. This research shows that the "creation of dimensionally new information" is a complex construct requiring further research and a deeper analysis than Kimura appears to have used.

In their first year of teaching the three teachers were located in schools at great distances from the normal support structures for the teachers. Further, the schools consisted of student populations with wide diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, not familiar to the teachers. The project had the following characteristics: Firstly, it employed the formation of an action research network. Secondly, it targeted the concern of the teachers on how to make mathematics more inclusive for children from a variety of backgrounds. Thirdly, it bridged the divide in jurisdiction between the responsibility of the university for preservice training and the responsibility of the school and the employment departments for induction and inservice professional learning. This paper discusses the procedures adopted in the project and the outcomes in teachers' learning and professionalisation. (Contains 2 footnotes.)

Electronic discussion boards provide one avenue for supporting such social learning. This paper discusses the use of a Question and Answer section of a discussion board in a first year mathematics education subject for primary student teachers, and the way in which this facility fits with ideas of social learning. Theoretical perspectives of social learning in mathematics through the use of an electronic community are explored. Examples are given of how learning was developed through questions and answers in the mathematics education subject and insights shared regarding the various uses of this facility by the students. Issues related to participation, peer misconceptions, learning styles and teacher intervention are raised and discussed. The paper concludes that for students who are comfortable with the use of electronic conferencing, there is value in Question and Answer facilities in raising autonomy and supporting conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts, but that the medium does not suit all learners of mathematics.

Thus, teaching needs to support the construction of well-connected mathematical knowledge. An important assumption here is that teachers need to construct a repertoire of subject-matter knowledge that is rich and well connected before they can help their students build similar mathematical knowledge. Thus, mathematics knowledge building is an important issue in teacher preparation programs. This paper reports on a study about the knowledge state of a pre-service teacher who planned to use computers in the teaching of linear functions. The results of the study indicate the existence of gaps in the student teacher's subject-matter knowledge. Significantly, there was also a lack of important connections between his understanding of linear functions and the instructional use of a computer software. Knowledge gaps and implications for classroom students' acquisition of mathematical schemas and mathematics teacher education programs are examined and discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)

Observation of lessons taught subsequently by 6 of the teachers, and interviews with 15 of their students, were used to investigate the effectiveness of the workshop in promoting appropriate use of technology in their mathematics classes. It was found that the teachers consistently drew their students' attention to limitations of the technology. Apparently as a result, their students showed considerably fewer misconceptions than students in a previous study who had been taught by teachers who had not undertaken such professional development. The few remaining student misconceptions could be traced to lingering uncertainties on the part of their teachers. Implications of the findings for mathematics teacher education are discussed.

The causes, types, & tactics of terrorism prior to the September 11, 2001, attack on the US are compared with those dimensions afterward, using statistical sources. In the new terrorism, religious & spiritual movements have replaced the nationalist or leftist politics of earlier terrorism. The US & other countries/actors need to develop short- & long-term strategies to combat terrorism; the long-term actions need to shape the environments in which terrorists & terrorist networks thrive. While military capabilities & homeland security are important, in the long run nonmilitary instruments like intelligence & economic assistance will be more effective. 9 Figures. M.

Detrital zircons from the sub-Grampian Group basement and the Grampian Group are predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic ages with Archaean grains absent or rare. In contrast, the overlying Appin, Argyll and Southern Highland groups contain a significant contribution of Archaean detrital zircon grains, some of which locally preserve evidence for late Palaeoproterozoic overgrowths dated at c. 1.8 Ga. In addition, on concordia plots Archaean grains are slightly discordant with a lower intercept at c. 1.8 Ga suggesting they were affected by a tectonothermal event at this time. Late Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic grains also show evidence for overprinting by a tectonothermal event around 1.0- 0.9 Ga. These tectonothermal events occurred in the source region before accumulation of the siliciclastic detritus. The analysed samples contained no definitive evidence for having been affected by a late Neoproterozoic (Knoydartian) event or of containing detritus derived from a source showing evidence for this event. The overall age range of detritus, combined with sparse palaeocurrent data, is consistent with derivation from the Laurentian foreland, especially the Labrador-Greenland region. Archaean detritus overlaps with that of Archaean cratons, notably the Superior, whereas Palaeoproterozoic detritus corresponds to the timing of suturing of Archaean cratons by a series of orogenic belts (Ketilidian-Makkovik, New Quebec, Nagssugtoqidian, Torngat belts). Mesoproterozoic detritus is consistent with derivation from the Grenville Orogen. The presence of a series of detrital age peaks in the late Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic (1.8-1.5 Ga), the paucity of mid- Mesoproterozoic detritus (1.4-1.2 Ga), and evidence for a tectonothermal event between 1.0 and 0.9 Ga is typical of the geological history of the Labrador- Greenland region of Laurentia.

These root clusters are almost universal (1600 species) in the family Proteaceae (proteoid roots), with fewer species in another seven families. There may be 10-1000 rootlets per cm length of parent root in 2-7 rows. Proteoid roots may increase the surface area by over 140 x and soil volume explored by 300 x that per length of an equivalent non-proteoid root. This greatly enhances exudation of carboxylates, phenolics and water, solubilisation of mineral and organic nutrients and uptake of inorganic nutrients, amino acids and water per unit root mass. Root cluster production peaks at soil nutrient levels (P, N, Fe) suboptimal for growth of the rest of the root system, and may cease when shoot mass peaks. As with other root types, root cluster production is controlled by the interplay between external and internal nutrient levels, and mediated by auxin and other hormones to which the process is particularly sensitive. Proteoid roots are concentrated in the humus-rich surface soil horizons, by 800 x in Banksia scrub-heath. Compared with an equal mass of the B horizon, the A sub(1) horizon has much higher levels of N, P, K and Ca in soils where species with proteoid root clusters are prominent, and the concentration of root clusters in that region ensures that uptake is optimal where supply is maximal. Both proteoid and non-proteoid root growth are promoted wherever the humus-rich layer is located in the soil profile, with 4 x more proteoid roots per root length in Hakea laurina. Proteoid root production near the soil surface is favoured among hakeas, even in uniform soil, but to a lesser extent, while addition of dilute N or P solutions in split-root system studies promotes non-proteoid, but inhibits proteoid, root production. Local or seasonal applications of water to hakeas initiate non-proteoid, then proteoid, root production, while waterlogging inhibits non-proteoid, but promotes proteoid, root production near the soil surface. A chemical stimulus, probably of bacterial origin, may be associated with root cluster initiation, but most experiments have alternative interpretations. It is possible that the bacterial component of soil pockets rich in organic matter, rather than their nutrient component, could be responsible for the proliferation of proteoid roots there, but much more research on root cluster microbiology is needed.

These techniques include pipe sampling, pit depth measurement, soil testing using various parameters, as well as other non-destructive testing (NDT) based on various electromagnetic principles. Both the literature and comprehensive field trials have shown that soil testing using linear polarisation resistance (LPR) methodologies as an input to statistical analysis packages is a cost-effective technique. Direct evaluation using remote field eddy current intelligent pigs can also be very useful for the direct examination of critical watermains but is limited to smaller sizes of DN 150-DN 375.

Methods We reviewed the sonograms of anatomically normally fetuses, obtained over a 5-year period, and measured transverse scrotal diameter or penile length in male fetuses and bilabial diameter in female fetuses. Transverse scrotal diameter was measured from the midpoint of the lateral scrotal wall to the midpoint of the opposite lateral wall; penile length, from the base of the shaft to the tip; and bilabial diameter, from the midpoint of the lateral labial margin to the midpoint of the opposite lateral labial margin. Results We examined sonograms from 1,182 fetuses and measured transverse scrotal diameter in 304 and penile length in 494 male fetuses and bilabial diameter in 384 female fetuses. The fetuses ranged from 14 to 41 weeks' menstrual age. Transverse scrotal diameter, penile length, and bilabial measurements were highly correlated with menstrual age (r = 0.941, r = 0.860, and r = 0.898, respectively). We found that growth of fetal external genitalia is similar to that for other parameters of fetal growth, such as biparietal diameter and femur length. Conclusions The results of this study may be helpful in understanding the natural course of the growth and development of fetal external genitalia. In addition, the data we gathered may be useful in combination with other biometric data for estimating fetal age and may help in detecting abnormalities in the fetal external genitalia.

Consequently, most CFUGs have adopted a passive forest management strategy which emphasizes forest protection, rather than actively managing forests for multiple purposes, and fewer benefits have been realized from community forestry than expected, with wealthy households benefiting more than poor ones. Greater emphasis should be placed on active forest management in future to increase the overall benefits from community forestry and the proportion received by poorer households. This will contribute to the new national policy aim of poverty alleviation.

Our primary aim is to describe the potential and limitations of these techniques, rather than their physical principles. We primarily discuss two-dimensional imaging techniques which, while inherently limited by their 2- dimensional nature are technically simple, cheaper, more readily accessible, and offer larger field- of-view or better resolution for a similar field-of-view than three-dimensional imaging techniques. We show that techniques involving microscopic or high-resolution X-ray imaging of roots in undisturbed soil samples have a considerable value because they can provide, at a scale which is not accessible by any other means, essential information on complex interactions between roots and soil structure. We also illustrate how 2D imaging techniques, based on either visible light or X-ray attenuation through thin growing containers (rhizotrons), can be used to study whole root systems. We conclude that, while fully appropriate 3D imaging tools will ultimately become available, in the meantime, two-dimensional techniques should be considered as relevant options for observing roots in their environment.Original Abstract: Observation des racines dans leur environnement : techniques d'imagerie actuelles et apports specifiques des approches 2D. Cet article offre un inventaire des techniques d'imagerie actuellement disponibles pour l'observation des racines au sein de leur environnement. le propos est avant tout d'informer le lecteur sur le potentiel et les limites des techniques et non sur leurs principes physiques. D'autre part, l'accent est mis sur l'apport specifique des methodes 2D : en depit des limitations et biais qui leur sont inherents, ces methodes offrent en effet, par rapport aux outils 3D actuellement disponibles, des avantages tels qu'un grand champ d'observation ou une resolution superieure a champ d'observation equivalent, ou encore, une mise en oeuvre simplifiee et un cout reduit. Ainsi, la microscopie et la radiographie X a haute resolution sont tres attractives car elles permettent d'etudier, a une echelle qui demeure hors de la portee des methodes 3D, les interactions complexes entre racines et structure du sol. On montre par ailleurs que les methodes 2D basees sur l'attenuation de lumiere visible ou de rayons X s'averent tres utiles pour etudier le fonctionnement de systemes racinaires entiers en rhizotrons. S'il ne fait guere de doute qu'a relativement court terme, les progres accomplis dans le domaine de l'imagerie 3D aboutiront a la mise au point d'outils parfaitement adaptes a l'observation non destructive des racines dans leur environnement, il n'en reste pas moins que, dans l'attente de tels outils, les techniques 2D continueront de faire progresser notre connaissance des racines et de leur fonctionnement.

The Wistar-IM strain was confirmed to exhibit strong resistance compared to the Fischer strain. The resistance in first filial (F1) males was intermediate between that in Wistar-IM and that in Fischer males. The data from reciprocal crosses indicate that the strong resistance to Cd toxicity in male Wistar-IM rats is autosomal and inherited as an incompletely dominant phenotype.

Natural extracts and isolated compounds from workers and soldiers were offered as odor source in a petri dish to groups of termites, and their behavioral reaction was registered. Pentane extracts of whole workers were attractive, and in three of the species induced a slight alarm reaction. The extracts contained 3-octanone, 3-octanol, and six fatty acids (C14-C18), presumably originating from the cuticle. Species-specific differences were quantitative. When tested individually or as synthetic mixture the worker compounds were significantly less effective than the natural extract. Only the ketone, the alcohol, and one of the fatty acids had any effect, functioning predominantly as attractants. Reticulitermes soldiers possess a frontal gland, which is employed for chemical defense of the colony, and contains species-specific mixtures of terpenes: monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpene alcohols, and a sesterterpene. All compounds of the frontal gland secretions proved to be highly attractive to the respective species, acting significantly stronger than worker compounds. The minor volatile compounds, the mono- and sesquiterpenes, function as alarm pheromone in Reticulitermes: they were the most attractive components, and also the ones inducing an intense alarm reaction in both workers and soldiers.

The endothelium produces numerous vasodilator and vasoconstrictor compounds that regulate vascular tone; the vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), has additional antiatherogenic properties, is probably the most important and best characterised mediator, and its intrinsic vasodilator function is commonly used as a surrogate index of endothelial function. Many conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus and even vascular risk factors, are associated with endothelial dysfunction, which, in turn, correlates with cardiovascular mortality. Furthermore, clinical benefit and improved endothelial function tend to be associated in response to interventions. Shear stress on endothelial cells is a potent stimulus for NO production. Although the role of endothelium-derived NO in acute exercise has not been fully resolved, exercise training involving repetitive bouts of exercise over weeks or months up-regulates endothelial NO bioactivity. Animal studies have found improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation after as few as 7 days of exercise. Consequent changes in vasodilator function appear to persist for several weeks but may regress with long-term training, perhaps reflecting progression to structural adaptation which may, however, have been partly endothelium-dependent. The increase in blood flow, and change in haemodynamics that occur during acute exercise may, therefore, provide a stimulus for both acute and chronic changes in vascular function. Substantial differences within species and within the vasculature appear to exist. In humans, exercise training improves endothelium-dependent vasodilator function, not only as a localised phenomenon in the active muscle group, but also as a systemic response when a relatively large mass of muscle is activated regularly during an exercise training programme. Individuals with initially impaired endothelial function at baseline appear to be more responsive to exercise training than healthy individuals; that is, it is more difficult to improve already normal vascular function. While improvement is reflected in increased NO bioactivity, the detail of mechanisms, for example the relative importance of up-regulation of mediators and antioxidant effects, is unclear. Optimum training schedules, possible sequential changes and the duration of benefit under various conditions also remain largely unresolved. In summary, epidemiological evidence strongly suggests that regular exercise confers beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Shear stress-mediated improvement in endothelial function provides one plausible explanation for the cardioprotective benefits of exercise training.

Allozyme analysis grouped the 46 populations into 5 major genetic clusters that corresponded closely with geographic location following a classic isolation-by-distance model. Phylogenetic analysis of 14 mtDNA haplotypes revealed two reciprocally monophyletic groups. One of these groups (containing 4 geographically distant populations) was clearly identified by allozyme analysis and represents a distinct evolutionary unit. The remaining 4 allozyme groups were not distinguishable by mtDNA analysis. The evidence suggests that the populations within these groups derived from a small founding population that underwent rapid demographic expansion in ancient times. This was followed by more recent population bottlenecks resulting from habitat fragmentation associated with the widespread introduction of agriculture into the region. The generally low levels of allozyme and nucleotide diversity within these populations support this hypothesis.

In this review, we discuss the current state of studies on the brain-disrupting actions of diethylstilbestrol (DES), which is a prototype endocrine disruptor that has potent estrogen-like action, focusing on our own findings. The major findings concerning the brain-disrupting action of DES are as follows: Exposure to a minute amount of DES during the late stage of gestation, but not the late stage of the lactation period, caused neurobehavioral changes such as impairment of the passive avoidance response in mice offspring. There is a difference in effect between male and female offspring of DES exposure on dendritic arbolization of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. In 6-week-old male offspring, prenatal DES exposure did not affect the responsiveness of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)- or GABA sub(A)-receptors in the hippocampal pyramidal neurons, but drastically increased the level of phosphorylated Ca super(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in the hippocampus. These findings suggest that, in mice, DES has brain-disrupting actions, with a critical period of exposure. Further studies are needed to clarify the primary site and mechanism of these actions, using various methods and animal models such as estrogen-receptor `knock-out' and/or `knock-in' mice.

It has been prominent in Australia for a little over ten years during which time major policy and scientific advances have been made, but little implementation. This paper examines current understanding of environmental water allocation across a broad range of disciplines including the biophysical sciences, social sciences, economics, law, and policy. Development of practical methods for assessing environmental water requirements and experience with implementation in Australia are discussed. The paper concludes with thoughts on future needs.

The optimum condition for inducing salt tolerance was observed when the cells were incubated in a solution containing 5 mM glutamate, 2.5 mM KCI, and 0.5 M NaCl or 0.8 M sorbitol. After 60 min incubation, the cells were able to form colonies on an agar plate with high salinity. It was confirmed that the cells acquired salt tolerance by accumulating glutamate and potassium ions in the cytoplasm as the main solute and ion, respectively.

As nuclear waste of all types continues to accumulate worldwide, the need to address the issue in a timely and innovative fashion is paramount. One potential alternative to storing materials in land-based facilities is deep ocean storage. At first, the notion of storing nuclear waste at the bottom of the ocean appears impossible and dangerous. Upon closer look, however, this approach may provide signficant benefits compared to traditional land-based storage. This article examines some of the implications of ocean storage of nuclear waste.

Our objectives were to determine the interobserver reliability of the technique and the association of ICEF, by grade, with fetal aneuploidy. Pregnant women who were 18-35 years old, at low risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities, and referred for targeted sonography at 16-24 weeks' menstrual age were eligible to participate. All patients whose fetuses had ICEF were offered fetal chromosomal analysis. The presence of ICEF was ascertained by an apical 4-chamber view of the fetal heart and graded independently by 2 examiners blinded to each other's assessment. Grading was based on the difference in echogenicity of the ICEF and the thoracic spine as the ultrasound gain was reduced; in grade 1, the ICEF image was lost before that of the thoracic spine; in grade 2, the ICEF and thoracic spine images disappeared at the same gain setting; and in grade 3, the thoracic spine image was lost before that of the ICEF. During the 6-month study period, 383 eligible women were examined, and ICEF were seen in 35 fetuses (9.1%): 25 (71.4%) in the left ventricle, 1 (2.9%) in the right ventricle, and 9 (25.7%) in both ventricles. ICEF grading was successfully performed in all 33 of the women with fetal ICEF who elected to participate. Twenty-one (63.6%) had grade 1, 9 (27.3%) had grade 2, and 3 (9.1%) had grade 3 ICEF. Interobserver agreement was noted in 27 (90.0%) of 30 available paired second-trimester observations (kappa = 0.8), indicating excellent agreement. Two fetuses (6.1%) with grade 1 ICEF but no other risk factors for aneuploidy had chromosomal abnormalities, as compared with 1 fetus (0.3%) in the control group, which had no ICEF (p = 0.02). Sonographic grading of ICEF is feasible and reliable. The presence of fetal ICEF in a population otherwise at low risk for aneuploidy seems to warrant the performance of fetal chromosomal analysis.

In this report, we describe the cases of 3 fetuses with an enlarged bladder, each of which had a different cause. The first fetus had posterior urethral valve obstruction, the second, a ruptured neurogenic bladder, and the third, megacystic-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. When sonographic examination reveals an enlarged fetal bladder, the ureter, kidneys, genitalia, and spine should be evaluated carefully. Although sonography is good at identifying urinary tract abnormalities, it often cannot provide the specific diagnosis or cause. We recommend frequent sonographic monitoring to evaluate such fetuses for persistence of or changes in bladder enlargement and for changes in the volume of amniotic fluid because these signs may be indicators of abnormalities of renal function and risk factors for a poor prognosis. Analysis of fetal electrolyte levels can also aid in determining the prognosis and whether the condition is amenable to therapeutic intervention.

Bat activity was assessed using scan sampling, conducted in 98 two-hour observation blocks, with 605 scan samples (each of similar to 2.5-min duration) being collected. Activity was divided into three categories: 'at rest', 'grooming', and 'active' (including flying off). Bats spent an average of 62% of their time 'at rest', 16% 'grooming', and 22% 'active'. Bat activity was significantly influenced by time of day, the cave chamber that was occupied, the vertical location of the bats on the cave wall, and the type of cluster formed by the bats. During the day bats spent most time 'at rest' (overall mean 78%) compared with other times (overall means 43-54%). Levels of flight and 'activity' (relative to 'at rest') were significantly lower during the day than at other times. Bats on the walls of the maternity chamber, where the temperature was highest, spent less time 'at rest' (overall mean 51%) than did bats on the walls of cooler chambers (overall means 73-86% of time). Bats in the maternity chamber spent significantly more time 'active' and 'grooming' (relative to 'at rest') than did bats in other chambers. Microclimatic conditions within the cave environment appear to significantly affect the activity of bats whilst at roost.

This program aims to monitor distributional change in vegetation and fauna assemblages along an altitudinal gradient (70-130 m) in response to climate change and other environmental events. Baseline data collected over a two-year period will be available for comparison with data collected in future decades. The vegetation varies with altitude and fire history. The rate of change in vegetation is not continuous along the altitudinal gradient, but is most rapid above 700 m and below the treeline at 1000-1100 m. Most vascular plant species reach the limit of their distribution within this zone. Despite their preliminary nature, the invertebrate data also display altitudinal and seasonal patterns. The treeline and the 700-1000 m zone again appear to be notable in terms of invertebrate distribution. While the composition of ground-based taxa may be closely related to the floristic composition of the vegetation (or its environmental drivers), the airborne invertebrate fauna appears to be more closely related to structural characteristics such as height and density. Of all taxa, the Coleoptera appear to be the best potential indicators across most altitudes and times. Although the current data provide a wealth of inventory and distributional information over altitude, their greatest potential value lies in longterm comparative information. Future sampling should focus not only on changes at and above the treeline, but also on the zone below this where many species are at their altitudinal limits and may be particularly sensitive to climate change.

These rabbits were then treated with a recipe of vitamins, zinc, selenium (VZS) or a plant polyphenol or a placebo for the next seven days. Blood samples were collected from ear vein for spectrophotometric assay of reduced glutathione (GSH), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and nitrite/nitrate (NO sub(x); index of nitric oxide formation) before arsenic administration, seven days after arsenic administration, and seven days after antioxidant treatment. The total arsenic concentrations in hair and spot urine samples of rabbits before arsenic administration were 0.6 plus or minus 0.21 mu g/g and 34.0 plus or minus 5.9 mu g/L, respectively. Administration of arsenic trioxide significantly increased arsenic concentrations in hair and in urine to 2.8 plus or minus 0.40 mu g/g (p < 0.001) and 7372 plus or minus 1392.0 mu g/L (p < 0.001), respectively. Arsenic administration to rabbits significantly reduced GSH concentration (post-arsenic, 17.5 plus or minus 0.81 mg/dL vs. pre-arsenic, 32.0 plus or minus 0.76 mg/dL, p < 0.001), increased TBARS concentration (post-arsenic, 8 plus or minus 1.1 mu M vs. pre-arsenic, 5 plus or minus 0.7 mu M, p < 0.05), and NO sub(x) concentration (post-arsenic, 465 plus or minus 38.5 mu M vs. pre-arsenic, 320 plus or minus 24.7 mu M, p < 0.001) as compared to the pre-arsenic levels. There was a negative correlation between TBARS and GSH concentrations (r = -0.464, p < 0.01) and between NO sub(x) and GSH concentrations (r = -0.381, p < 0.05) of intoxicated rabbits. The recovery of the depleted GSH was significantly greater in the polyphenols (77.0 plus or minus 12.0%) or VZS (67.0 plus or minus 17.0%) treatment groups compared with the placebo group (36.0 plus or minus 7.0%). The decrease in NO sub(x) level of arsenic-treated rabbits was significantly greater in polyphenols treatment group than the placebo group (60.0 plus or minus 9.0% vs. 17.0 plus or minus 6.0%, p < 0.001). These results indicate that arsenic induces toxicity in rabbits associated with an increase in lipid peroxidation. Arsenic toxicity increases nitric oxide production in the body. Exogenous antioxidants such as polyphenols and recipe of vitamins, zinc, and selenium are useful for arsenic detoxification.
