TY - JOUR T1 - Persistent dysphonia in two performers affecting the singing and projected speaking voice: a report on a collaborative approach to management. AN - 85365193; pmid-12608743 AB - The projected speaking voice and the singing voice are highly sensitive to external and internal influences, and teachers of spoken voice and singing are in a unique position to identify subtle and more serious vocal difficulties in their students. Persistent anomalies may herald early onset of changes in vocal fold structure, neurophysiological control, or emotional stability. Two cases are presented to illustrate the benefits of a collaborative approach to diagnosis and management. The first, a 21-year-old male drama and singing student with an abnormally high speaking voice and falsetto singing voice was found to have a psychogenic dysphonia referred to as "puberphonia" or "mutational falsetto". The second, a 34-year-old female alto with strained phonation and perceived stutter of the vocal folds was diagnosed with "adductor spasmodic dysphonia" or "focal laryngeal dystonia" of neurological origin.

A brief overview with questions and discussion. AN - 85363827; pmid-12487407 AB - A brief overview of the field in relation to psychogenic voice disorders is given with reference to past and present terminology used, the common presentations seen, followed by the more subtle or ambiguous examples which may challenge our notions of psychogenic or clear-cut functional versus organic dichotomies. Issues related to aetiology, personality and psychological correlates are discussed, and a number of questions regarding the phenomenology of psychogenic dysphonia and its therapeutic resolution are raised. Since prevalence continues to be significantly in favour of women, it is suggested psychogenic voice disorder as a feminist issue might be worthy of our further consideration.

AN - 85362153; pmid-11772489 AB - Persistent hoarseness due to recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP) reduces the quality of life unless it is adequately treated. This study examined the indications for phonosurgical intervention in patients with RLNP.The medical records of the Ehime University Hospital, Ehime, Japan, from October 1976 until December 1997 were reviewed retrospectively to identify patients with RLNP. The data collected included age, gender, paralyzed side, and cause of paralysis.Four hundred and sixty-six patients with RLNP were identified: 262 males and 204 females. Unilateral RLNP was present in 422 patients, while 44 presented with bilateral RLNP. The incidence was relatively high in the 7th and 8th decades, and was twice as high in male patients as in female patients. The 466 patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 included 225 patients seen before January 1987, and Group 2 included 241 patients seen after this date. The number of patients with postoperative RLNP was significantly higher in Group 2 (124 of 239 patients) than in Group 1 (65 of 227 patients) (P<0.05). Surgery for cardiovascular disease, esophageal cancer, and skull base and thyroid gland tumors contributed to this increased incidence of postoperative RLNP.Patients with persistent unilateral RLNP require appropriate treatment for hoarseness, regardless of its cause. Since the incidence of RLNP related to surgery was significantly increased in Group 2, phonosurgery has become more important for improving the quality of life of these patients.

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).

AN - 72781961; 12487234 AB - The paper begins by placing the emergence of drug treatment courts within the context of rising property crime rates, the development of open-air illicit drug markets, and the rise in opiate overdoses in Australia. The paper then highlights the way in which the U.S. concept of drug treatment courts was adopted and adapted by state politicians in attempts to deal with drug-use-related offenders. This response has been specifically targeted at repeat property offenders "at risk" of imprisonment, and comes within the broad brush of harm minimization strategies for diverting offenders with a drug-use-related problem away from the traditional criminal justice response of imprisonment. The prospects for the future of drug treatment courts in a Federalist system are also discussed.

AN - 71725307; 11979592 AB - An examination of the potential of crude oil and mixtures of dispersants and crude oil to act as reproductive toxicants is reported in this article. The short-term effects of a water-accommodated fraction of crude oil (WAF) and a dispersed crude oil water-accommodated fraction (DCWAF) on selected reproductive end points were measured by conducting 3-day exposures to the crimson-spotted rainbowfish (Melanotaenia fluviatilis). Exposures were followed by 14-day depuration periods to determine the ability of fish to recover from the exposure. There were no changes to egg production, hatchability, or larval lengths for the WAF and DCWAF test periods. There were no changes to plasma estradiol or testosterone concentrations, gonadosomatic indices, or histopathological organization of gonad tissues after the exposure and depuration periods for both WAF and DCWAF. As reproductive parameters were not altered after 3 days of exposure and 14 days of depuration, crimson-spotted rainbowfish were able to endure short-term exposures to crude oil and dispersed crude oil.

AN - 71498568; 11872131 AB - The aim of this study was to isolate a source of enzymes capable of degrading endosulphate (endosulfan sulphate), the toxic metabolite of the pesticide endosulfan. A microbial broth culture capable of degrading endosulphate was enriched from endosulfan-contaminated soil by providing the metabolite as the sole source of sulphur in broth culture. No microbial growth was observed in the absence of endosulphate. In the presence of endosulphate, growth of the culture occurred with the concomitant formation of three chlorine-containing compounds. Thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography--mass spectral analysis identified these metabolites as endosulfan monoaldehyde, 1,2,3,4,7,7-hexachloro-5,6-bis(methylene)bicyclo[2.2.1]-2-heptene and 1,2,3,4,7,7-hexachloro-5-hydroxymethylene-6-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]-2-heptene. The second and third compounds have not been reported in previous metabolic studies. The enriched culture was also able to utilize alpha- and beta-endosulfan as sulphur sources, each producing the hydrolysis product endosulfan monoaldehyde as the sole chlorine-containing metabolite. Alpha-endosulfan was more readily hydrolysed than the beta-isomer. This study isolated a mixed microbial culture capable of degrading endosulphate. The products of degradation were characterized as novel endosulfan metabolites. This study describes the isolation of a mixed microbial culture that is potentially a valuable source of hydrolysing enzymes for use in enzymatic bioremediation, particularly of endosulphate and alpha-endosulfan residues.

Expectations and Challenges of Emergent Electronic Government AN - 60648965; 200309892 AB - The ambiguous nature of electronic government (e-government) has resulted in hype & confusion, with little systematic consideration of the expectations & limitations of taking government online. This paper seeks to examine the role of e-government in the US as an evolving process that manifests itself in three distinct sectors: government-to-government, government-to-business, & government-to-citizen. Using this typology as an organizing principle, we show how IT has the potential to enhance government accessibility & citizen participation. We also show how the move toward a market-focused conceptualization of government information & service delivery raises the potential for blurring citizen & consumer roles, possibly at the cost of a robust, informed, & engaged citizenry. 49 References.

The definition of terrorism is tackled before discussing its origins. Major motivations include decolonization & antiglobalization. Predominant types of terrorism fall under the categories of leftist, rightist, ethnonationalist/separtist, & sacred; five reasons are provided as to why the last is most dangerous. There has been a jump in the number of sacred terrorist organizations, & frequency & lethality of attacks has increased, while the geographic dispersion has spread. Al-Qaeda is seen to embody the newest generation of globalized terrorist organization. Implications of these trends for global, & particularly US & allied, security are analyzed. Globalization enables the terrorist use of (1) new technologies, (2) movement across borders, & (3) various sources of support. Future prospects center on the balance of international power that foments sympathy, resources, & support for terrorism. Counterterrorist policy recommendations revolve around the use of a balanced scope of instruments & a broader array of longer-term policy tools to resculpt the international environment. J.

However, science & technology have different roles in the creation of a concept & the development of a useable product or discovery. The US government's funding priorities establish the pathway for future research & development that, in turn, will impact the course of our society & culture. Nondefense research & development funding in the current presidential budget request has decreased in the budgets of seven out of ten of the major agencies that fund science & technology. The budget request generally shows a bias toward medical research at the expense of supporting physical sciences. Even the National Instits of Health budget, which has increased significantly over the last 3 years, demonstrates a bias in funding for a few diseases that have captured the public's attention at the expense of other critical research. Funding must be far sighted & balanced to attract the future researchers & technicians that will invigorate scientific & technological advances. 2 Tables, 1 Reference.

In an era when the leading edge of information technology was embodied in advances in printing & distribution mechanisms (many of them spearheaded by GPO), the relationship between "the nation's printer" & the nation's libraries was clear & immediate: libraries collected printed publications, GPO, as central producer & distributor of printed government publications, supplied them. Beginning in the early 1990s, however, government agencies began experimenting with electronic publishing & dissemination of their information, & GPO & the FDLP faced the challenge of retaining a relevant role in the dissemination of government information. In 1995, Congress gave GPO direction, in the FY 1996 appropriations bill, that the FDLP should be made more or mostly electronic. GPO's immediate response to that direction was a transition plan which defined a range of interests & investigated several cases or scenarios for electronic dissemination.

Despite the slowdown of the New Economy, a cascade paradigm of innovation appears key to increasing the rate of economic growth. Yet for science to continue to thrive & make this contribution to innovation, it must traverse at least three key crossroads. First, while life sciences have built a strong advocacy model to secure growing federal research funding, the physical sciences (including mathematics & engineering) have not & must do so to thrive. Second, the drop in the numbers of physical scientists & engineers must be reversed if we are to have the talent to maintain a strong trend of scientific advance. Third, although science advances are increasingly interdisciplinary & occurring in the space between the historic science stovepipes, the organization of federal science support is largely unchanged since the beginning of the Cold War. While a decentralized model has value, we must also consider new approaches that encourage deeper cooperation across science sectors & agencies. 29 References. Adapted from the source document.

A joint report of the National Performance review & the Government Information Technology Services Board, Access America: Reengineering Through Information Technology, issued 3 Feb 1997, introduced the new term. As initially used in American public discourse, e-gov was little more than a general recognition of a confluence of information technology (IT) developments & the application & use of these technologies by government entities. Subsequently, it oftentimes came to be used as a symbol, an ambiguous reference to both current applications of IT to government operations & a goal of realizing more effective & less costly performance of government functions. It is a dynamic concept of varying meaning & significance. Adapted from the source document.

In spite of problems within the official US delegation that led them to walk out, the meeting gave many US activists their first exposure to issues of the Dalit, Roma, & Palestinian people, & pointed out the US government's isolation in international politics. The declaration produced by the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) section is described as a landmark achievement in the global antiracist struggle. The 8,000 or so delegates represented a cross-generational group comprised mostly of people of color from the Americas, Africa, & Asia. Their antiglobalization critique focused on both economic & social injustices in the struggle against racism, xenophobia, & other intolerances. North American delegates were uncomfortable with the linkage of racial justice demands & the critique of imperial globalization, wanting instead to keep the discussion within a narrower framework compatible with US economic, political, & military priorities. The implications for US policymakers are discussed. J.

When Qaddafi took power in 1969, his strategy was to leverage oil revenues to improve the human capital base & develop an entrepreneurial middle class. At that point, the government essentially took over the economy & its policies became more radical. Libya now faces a number of interrelated economic & social problems due to lack of human & natural resources (except for oil). Economic liberalization is still limited & political liberalization is unlikely to occur within this regime, which faces opposition from reformists & Islamists. In foreign policy, Libya & its neighbors have pursued regional economic integration, but relations with Egypt & the US have been turbulent, because of Libya's state-sponsored terrorism. 27 References.

Three major new areas in the Code - confidentiality with managed care, technology, and family and group work (cultural competence) and appropriate professional relationships, are addressed. Besides teaching students about the current Code of Ethics in order to prepare them for professional practice, social work educators can increase their understanding of how the Code applies to their work with students and model professional behavior to students through ethical educational practice. 46 References.

The report [based on a workshop held from 30 October to 1 November 2001] emphasizes that although more research is needed, existing data, including studies of other kinds of traumatic events, as well as clinical experience, provide useful guidance to the mental health community in responding to mass violence. The report is targeted to those who deliver psychological interventions to emotionally distressed persons following mass violence, to those who research these issues, and to employers who want to help workers who have experienced this type of emotional trauma. It is also intended to aid officials who must decide what mental health help to include in the local, state, and national responses to survivors of mass violence and terrorism. Prepared by 58 mental health researchers and clinicians from the U.S. and five other countries, the report details what is effective, what is not, and what questions require further research. The report was developed by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Departments of Defense, Justice, and Veterans Affairs, and the American Red Cross.

This study investigated the sensitivity of biofilm bacteria with previously established cuprosolvency activity, isolated from domestic copper plumbing pipes, to chlorine and copper and assessed their potential to adsorb aqueous copper. Bacterial suspensions were exposed to free chlorine residuals of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mg/L and viable bacteria enumerated at times 0, 1, 2, 5 and 10 minutes. Disinfection curves showed the isolated bacteria were more resistant to free chlorine in comparison to the indicator organism Escherichia coli. Disc diffusion assays demonstrated high resistance by all bacteria to copper, with a Corynebacteria sp. showing no growth inhibition at concentrations up to 4 gCu/L. The isolated bacteria showed the ability to bind aqueous copper ions from solution in adsorption experiments. Significantly higher adsorption of copper was shown by a species of Pseudomonas. The results of this research will provide a greater understanding of causes of biofilm accumulation and copper contamination of drinking water, aiding in health risk assessment and risk management.

We note that the task is multi-disciplinary and that natural regions need to be identified on a range of hierarchically nested scales for different planning and management purposes. Advances in remote acoustic and video technology has led to new ways of carrying out exploratory surveys of seabed biotopes in deep water (> 50 m). We combined fine-scale bathymetry and backscatter from multibeam acoustic swath mappers with targeted and georeferenced biophysical, geophysical and visual sampling to classify areas at a variety of spatial scales. Our methodology provides a framework for optimising the collection, interpretation and integration of acoustic, visual and physical data in future surveys. Because it would be prohibitively expensive to map the extremely large Australian marine jurisdiction, surveys will need to be targeted in areas of highest management need. These include hot spots for biodiversity as well as points where anthropogenic impacts are high, for example at continental slope canyons and seamounts. We provide examples of biotopes (habitats) relevant to the scale of impact of human activities and to the scale of management (not necessarily the same things), and consider some realities for monitoring using modern technology - as well as the need for caution with automated methods given current limitations.

However, closed areas can be used to protect particular segments of the population which are particularly vulnerable, for example closure of inshore pupping and nursery areas as part of fishery management plans, and seasonal closures of shallow mating areas to boat traffic as part of conservation plans. Closure of area, or protection of species within certain areas, have been used in various ecotourist ventures based on elasmobranchs. Fishery management measures have also used large-scale closures of inshore areas to provide a general refuge for stocks of commercial species and rolling closures have been used to protect pregnant females moving along migratory routes to pupping grounds.

Recent research has highlighted their sensitivity to forest management, with managed or secondary forests generally supporting fewer individuals, fewer species, and different assemblages compared to old-growth or primary forests. This sensitivity is a product of their association with a habitat that tends to diminish in managed forests. Many species also have low powers of dispersal relative to human-induced fragmentation, making breaks in habitat continuity particularly harmful. In western Europe, many species are now regionally extinct. Information is largely lacking elsewhere, but similar ecological and management principles should apply. Measures taken to protect the habitat of hollow-dependent vertebrates may ensure the survival of some saproxylic insects, but unless their needs are expressly considered, there remains the risk that many others may be lost as forest areas shrink and management of remaining areas intensifies.

Part 1: fault-tree analysis for biological invasions AN - 18643715; 5538713 AB - Ecological risk assessment is a common environmental management tool. It is routinely used for physical and chemical stressors, and has recently been used for biological stressors such as invasive species and genetically modified organisms. Identifying hazards correctly is critical to any risk assessment. In many ecological examples, however, this stage of the analysis is very poor. This paper applies a hazard-analysis tool that is commonly used in complex engineering systems - fault-tree analysis - to an ecological system - ballast-water introductions. The analysis, which is rigorous and systematic, highlights the complexity of the ballast-water introduction cycle. The top event in the fault-tree is the successful infection of a port. The fault-tree identifies the parallel and sequential events leading up to the top event, including multiple vessel-infection scenarios, determined by the origin (hard substrate, soft substrate, water column and another organism) and behaviour of the target organism. The analysis also identifies the role of ballast-tank populations, ballast-water carry-over, crevice-seeking species and third-party risks. These phenomena add considerably to the complexity of the problem. Fault-trees will have a limited application to ecological systems because of the difficulty of estimating the probability of the basic or undeveloped events in the tree. As this paper demonstrates, however, fault-tree analysis has considerable heuristic potential when applied to ecological systems.

AN - 18588551; 5379986 AB - Because of the increasing area of southern Australia being threatened by rising saline groundwater, a search was made among 28 Mediterranean accessions and 10 Australasian cultivars of the deep-rooted, drought-resistant grass, phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L.), for genotypes that are more resistant to salinity and waterlogging than the present cultivars. In gravel medium watered with a nutrient solution containing 150 mol/m super(3) of NaCl and 10 mol/m super(3) of CaCl sub(2), a salt concentration equal to one-quarter strength seawater, the dry weight of live tops was reduced by an average of 58% relative to the non-saline treatment, whereas the reductions in the salt-tolerant control species, tall wheatgrass [Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Z.-W. Liu & R.-C. Wang] and Aegilops tauschii Coss., were 13.4% and 26.6%, respectively. Sirolan was the highest yielding phalaris population under both saline and non-saline conditions, and Grasslands Maru and cv. Australian and its relatives were some of the least affected by salt. In a second experiment, the sodium content of the herbage of 1-3 cloned plants in each of 22 phalaris accessions averaged 1.62% in the treated offsets and 0.10% in the untreated offsets. Two genotypes in one accession, CPI 19315 from Morocco, had exceptionally low sodium concentrations and Na/K ratios in plants treated with salt. The means for these traits in CPI 19315 were 4.6 g/kg DM and 0.09, respectively, compared with means in the other 21 lines of 17.7 and 0.35. CPI 19315 plants were crossed to seed-retaining, waterlogging-tolerant segregants from the backcross of P. aquatica x P. arundinacea to P. aquatica. The F sub(2) was compared with CPI 19315 and Grasslands Maru phalaris, Dundas tall wheatgrass, and AU Triumph tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) on a winter-wet, saline discharge cline east of Wagga Wagga, NSW. Seedling density, emergence score, and dry matter yield at the end of the first growing season varied significantly among grasses and positions on the salinity/waterlogging gradient. However, the genotype and salinity effects on yield disappeared when seedling density was used as a covariate. Nevertheless, except for Dundas tall wheatgrass, herbage yield was correlated with position in the gradient, the F sub(2) and Dundas tall wheatgrass being less affected by increasing stress than Grasslands Maru, CPI 19315, and AU Triumph tall fescue. Seed was harvested from putative seed-retaining F sub(2) plants, and seedlings were transplanted into a saline discharge area near Canberra, ACT. The families differed significantly in injury and survival. The narrow-sense heritability of freedom from leaf injury was 0.52 plus or minus 0.28. Seed was again harvested from seed retaining survivors, and fourth generation seedlings were grown on the same area for continued selection. The plants in 3 family groups were significantly larger than of those in any of the control cultivar groups after 5 months exposure to waterlogging and salinity. Most survived the ensuing summer and autumn. The possibility of developing a cultivar better suited to saline, winter-wet, summer-dry soils is discussed.

Species were identified that are short-range endemics, restricted to isolated populations, restricted to vulnerable habitats, or vulnerable to a rise in sea temperature from global warming. Of the 1650 species assessed, 3.7% were potentially endemic to Victoria, although many of these were known from few records and their described distribution may reflect collection or taxonomic artefacts. More species were restricted to vulnerable habitats: 0.7% to seagrass beds; 3% to embayments; 3.5% to the trawled area of continental shelf off east Gippsland; and 6% to the intertidal/shallow subtidal zone (0-3 m). Up to 14% of species are confined to the cool temperate waters of south-eastern Australia and could become locally extinct within Victoria from a sea temperature rise of 1-2 degree C. The potential for biodiversity loss from Victorian marine waters is discussed.

AN - 18572644; 5429159 AB - On the basis of their dentition, species of Macropus are predicted to be grazers and species of Thylogale are predicted to be browsers. We tested these predictions by comparing diet and diet selection of the red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) and red-bellied pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), by analysing forestomach contents of animals that had fed in the same region of a young pine plantation. Grasses, followed by broad-leafed forbs, were the most abundant plant groups in the field (together comprising 71% of the plant biomass), and were also the main dietary components of both macropodid species (91%). No differences were detected in diet of the two species when summarised in terms of diet diversity, evenness or overlap. When diet selection was compared, however, distinct differences were found between the two species. Red-necked wallabies selected for grasses (74% of the diet compared with 55% in the field) whereas red-bellied pademelons selected for broad-leafed forbs (38% of the diet compared with 16% in the field). Feeding patterns were therefore consistent with dietary predictions, provided diet selection was considered rather than simply diet. Diet selection is more appropriate for testing dietary predictions, because it reflects animals' attempts to consume food items that they prefer, that is, that they are functionally suited to consuming, even when such items are not as abundant as less preferred food.

Criteria for evaluation AN - 18572098; 5537625 AB - Advice and training on techniques for lifting is frequently provided. The choice of which technique to use should be based on the evidence available on a number of criteria. Important criteria include: psychophysical, physiological, biomechanical, psychological, performance and clinical. However few professionals have the time to read all the original research required to understand the limitations of the available criteria. The purpose of this paper was to present an accessible synthesis of the criteria used to choose a specific technique. Each criterion is described and its validity discussed to provide the reader with a better understanding of the criteria, and thus the evidence available.

AN - 18544607; 5516472 AB - The palm oil industry is one of the major agro-industries in southern Thailand. It requires a large amount of water for its operation and discharges considerable quantities of wastewater. This creates a serious threat to the environment and sources of potable water. This study proposes recommendations for water conservation and reuse and improvement of wastewater treatment facilitites to overcome these problems. In order to attain the highest reduction of all problems, waste minimization is introduced as the most effective solution. Changing behaviour in housekeeping can reduce water usage. An upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process coupled with an activated sludge plant is recommended to upgrade the waste-water treatment system. For water reuse purposes, a rock bed filtration unit is recommended to treat effluent of the treatment plant. The overall water balance of the palm oil mill suggests that water reuse of 322 m super(3)/d will reduce raw water discharged to the river.

Decay lesion development and defence zones were assessed. Two zones were described, a narrow brown decay interface (interface reaction zone, IRZ) and a diffuse zone beyond this being either pale brown or purple (reaction zone, RZ). The total phenol levels in the reaction zone were determined. Selected phenolics (pedunculagin, tellimagrandin 1, tetragalloylglucose, pentagalloylglucose and catechin) were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). A range of fungi (mainly decay-causing) were used to inoculate wounds and the results indicated that more extensive decay lesions were generally associated with greater production of soluble phenols in response. Sterile inoculations and weakly aggressive fungi were associated with no or little xylem discoloration, whereas aggressive fungi elicited more discoloration and phenolic accumulation in advance of infection. This indicates that phenol accumulation is not a generalized response to wounding, but a variable response due to the interaction between microorganisms and sapwood. In plantation-grown trees examined 6 months after wounding, purple reaction zones were commonly associated with large decay lesions. Seasonal differences in decay column area caused by Ganoderma applanatum were not significant 1 month after wounding and inoculation.

This case study, illustrating the recent use of the Barmah-Millewa Forest Environmental Water Allocation (EWA), provides a practical demonstration of community participation in environmental water management, the application of hydrological and biological "triggers" and a positive, demonstrable biological outcome from an environmental water allocation. The Barmah-Millewa Forest covers an area of 70,000 ha across the floodplain of the Murray River, upstream of the town of Echuca. About half the forest is in NSW (Millewa) and half is in Victoria (Barmah). The Barmah Forest is a Wetland of International Importance listed under the Convention on Wetlands - Ramsar Convention. The forest is the largest river redgum forest in the world. The natural flooding cycle associated with the forest has been significantly altered by regulation of the Murray River - impacting upon the overall health of the forest ecosystem. Recognising this, the Murray Darling Basin Commission developed a water management strategy for the forest to enhance forest, fish and wildlife values. To implement this strategy, between 1990 and 1993 reports were completed and community consultation took place. In 1993 the Murray Darling Basin Ministerial Council approved allocation of 100 Gigalitres of water per year, provided in equal shares by NSW and Victoria, to meet the needs of the forest ecosystem and in 1994 the Barmah-Millewa Forum was established under the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement. The vision for the Forum is to maintain and, where possible, improve the ecological and productive sustainability of the Barmah-Millewa Forest and to establish a planning and operational framework to better meet the flooding and drying requirements of the riparian forests and wetlands. Between October 2000 and January 2001 the Barmah-Millewa Forest Environmental Water Allocation was used for the second time. A total of 341 GL was released as an EWA. This amount represented only 8% of the total flows downstream of Yarrawonga Weir from September 2000 and January 2001. The strategic use of the relatively small amount of water enabled flooding to be maintained and ensured significant breeding success for water birds and other biota in the Forest.

This combination of spatial and temporal sampling gave data for 16, 31, 36 and 51 years since burning. These data were used to test for convergence in vegetation characteristics through time between the areas burned in 1947 and those burned in 1962 and to determine whether lifeform is a reasonable predictor of the successional dynamics of species. While convergence largely prevailed, some lifeforms and species diverged and lifeform was generally a poor predictor of species responses. For example, size class analyses of the larger shrub species indicated a wide variety of successional responses to fire. The tall shrubs on Mt Wellington have higher percentages of tolerators and species relying on the soil seed store for postfire regeneration than physiognomically similar vegetation in more fire-prone environments. Fifty-one years after fire, there is evidence of continuing floristic and structural change in the alpine vegetation that may be partly related to recent climatic warming.

The experimental site was at 350 m above sea level (asl), which is considered marginal for establishment of E. globulus (but not E. nitens) plantations in Tasmania because of low mean minimum temperatures. Conditions within 3 weeks of planting induced severe photoinhibition in non-shaded seedlings. This was associated with increased anthocyanin and photodamage in non-shaded E. nitens and E. globulus. As a result, there was 20% mortality in non-shaded E. globulus. In contrast, shaded seedlings of both species had levels of photoinhibition and anthocyanin that were largely similar to those before planting and there was no photodamage. Levels of anthocyanin indicated that its synthesis responded to the severity of photoinhibition. Height growth and levels of mortality indicated that cold-induced photoinhibition, and not frost tolerance alone, determines the range of environments where E. globulus can be successfully planted. In contrast, the tolerance of E. nitens seedlings to cold-induced photoinhibition may be a factor in the demonstrated success of this species as a high-altitude plantation species.

All rats of the Wistar-Imamichi (Wistar-IM) strain survived for 7 days after treatment with Cd at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg body weight, whereas 80% of the Wistar strain and 100% of the Sprague-Dawley and Fischer strains died. These results indicate that the Wistar-IM strain has strong resistance to Cd. Furthermore, the metallothionein (MT) contents of the liver, kidney and testis of Wistar-IM rats were compared with those of Fischer rats. The strain difference in the toxicity of Cd in rats did not appear to result from a difference in MT content, although further study is necessary to elucidate the role of MT.

Known Cry toxins such as Cry1Ac and Cry2A, as well as novel toxins for which the protein sequences were predicted by their gene sequences, were used as controls in this study. The peptide masses, obtained after in-gel trypsin digestion for all these proteins, matched correctly to the corresponding proteins. Also, MALDI-TOF MS was able to resolve and identify multiple Cry toxins of very similar molecular weights and highly similar isoelectric points, from a single protein band. Furthermore, in novel Bt strains for which PCR techniques were unable to detect the cognate genes, this method was able to detect novel Cry toxins. Hence, present data clearly suggest that MALDI-TOF MS could be used as a tool for identifying Cry toxins from novel Bt strains.

As a result, a large range of sampling devices have been developed, each best suited to a particular set of conditions. However, all sediment sampling devices have inherent design problems that affect the degree to which samples represent the intact sediment. These issues are summarised, and a new corer design (the LOG corer) is presented and discussed. The LOG corer is a remotely-operated light-weight gravity corer suitable for obtaining relatively undisturbed short sediment cores in soft lacustrine sediments.

In petri dish bioassays we presented filter papers with squashed soldier heads as an odor source to trigger a alarm reaction. Untreated filter papers were used as controls. The behavioral patterns were alike for all four species. In the control situation (no alarm), only occasional workers and few soldiers were seen walking in the petri dish. When the odor source was presented, a general state of alertness was observed, showing as higher activity and presence, zigzag running, antennation of nestmates, jittering and jerking, mandible snapping, head-banging, and attraction to the odor source. Workers were attracted within a few seconds (6.9-13.4 s); soldiers followed much later (18.5-64.6 s). Both workers and soldiers inspected the odor source only briefly (workers for 8.7-12.8 s, soldiers for 10.0-19.5 s), with the exception of R. santonensis, where soldiers stayed an average of 209.8 s. The number of individuals, of 50 workers and 3 soldiers, near the odor source averaged 6.0-9.2 workers and 1.2-2.3 soldiers. The presence of workers is crucial: without workers, a significant alarm reaction in soldiers could not be induced. The roles of soldier and worker castes of Reticulitermes species within alarm communication and the origin and nature of possible alarm signals are discussed.

Gait analysis was performed on 62 subjects with knee OA and 49 asymptomatic control subjects (normal subjects). The subjects with OA walked with a greater than normal peak adduction moment during early stance (p = 0.027). In the OA group, the mechanical axis was the best single predictor of the peak adduction moment during both early and late stance (R = 0.74, p < 0.001). The radiographic measures of OA severity in the medial compartment were also predictive of both peak adduction moments (R = 0.43 to 0.48, p < 0.001) along with the sum of the WOMAC subscales (R = -0.33 to -0.31, p < 0.017). The toe out angle was predictive of the peak adduction moment only during late stance (R = -0.45, p < 0.001). Once mechanical axis was accounted for, other factors only increased the ability to predict the peak knee adduction moments by 10-18%. While the mechanical axis was indicative of the peak adduction moments, it only accounted for about 50% of its variation, emphasizing the need for a dynamic evaluation of the knee joint loading environment. Understanding which clinical measures of OA are most closely associated with the dynamic knee joint loads may ultimately result in a better understanding of the disease process and the development of therapeutic interventions.

To demonstrate the role of herbivores as selective agents on plant resistance there must be variability in plant resistance to herbivores within a plant population. This variability must be under genetic control, and the variability in plant resistant traits and consequently herbivore damage to plants must reflect variability in plant fitness. We used a common eucalypt species, Eucalyptus globulus, and two major mammalian herbivores, the common brushtail possum ( Trichosurus vulpecula) and the red-bellied pademelon ( Thylogale billardierii), as a system to investigate intraspecific variation in plant resistance to mammalian herbivores and to investigate if this variation has a genetic basis. We measured mammalian browsing damage on 2,302 individual trees of E. globulus, from 563 families derived from range-wide native stand seed collections of known pedigree and grown in a common environment field trial. Using a selection of trees from the field trial we then conducted a feeding trial with captive herbivores to assess if the genetic variation in plant resistance in the field was reflected in feeding preferences of captive animals, as measured by relative intake. Results from the field trial showed significant genetic variation in plant resistance amongst races, localities and amongst different families. These results were consolidated in the captive trial with similar trends in genetic variation among E. globulus localities. Dry matter intake of foliage by Trichosurus vulpecula was consistently greater than that by Thylogale billardierii; however, the intraspecific preferences of the two herbivores were significantly correlated.

In this study, light and electron microscopic analyses and genetic and functional investigations have shown that at least 50% of Aeromonas isolates from the species most commonly associated with diarrheal illness produce lateral flagella which mediate swarming motility. Aeromonas lateral flagella were optimally produced when bacteria were grown on solid medium for approximately 8 h. Transmission and thin-section electron microscopy confirmed that these flagella do not possess a sheath structure. Southern analysis of Aeromonas reference strains and strains of mesophilic species (n = 84, varied sources and geographic regions) with a probe designed to detect lateral flagellin genes (lafA1 and lafA2) showed there was no marked species association of laf distribution. Approximately 50% of these strains hybridized strongly with the probe, in good agreement with the expression studies. We established a reproducible swarming assay (0.5% Eiken agar in Difco broth, 30 degree C) for Aeromonas spp. The laf-positive strains exhibited vigorous swarming motility, whereas laf-negative strains grew but showed no movement from the inoculation site. Light and scanning electron microscopic investigations revealed that lateral flagella formed bacterium-bacterium linkages on the agar surface. Strains of an Aeromonas caviae isolate in which lateral flagellum expression was abrogated by specific mutations in flagellar genes did not swarm, proving conclusively that lateral flagella are required for the surface movement. Whether lateral flagella and swarming motility contribute to Aeromonas intestinal colonization and virulence remains to be determined.

Integrated CTX phi is often flanked by another genetic element known as RS1 which carries all open reading frames (ORFs) found in RS2 and an additional ORF designated rstC. We identified a single-stranded circularized form of the RS1 element, in addition to the CTX phi genome, in nucleic acids extracted from phage preparations of 32 out of 83 (38.5%) RS1-positive toxigenic V. cholerae strains analyzed. Subsequently, the corresponding double-stranded replicative form (RF) of the RS1 element was isolated from a representative strain and marked with a kanamycin resistance (Km super(r)) marker in an intergenic site to construct pRS1-Km. Restriction and PCR analysis of pRS1-Km and sequencing of a 300-bp region confirmed that this RF DNA was the excised RS1 element which formed a novel junction between ig1 and rstC. Introduction of pRS1-Km into a V. cholerae O1 classical biotype strain, O395, led to the production of extracellular Km super(r) transducing particles, which carried a single-stranded form of pRS1-Km, thus resembling the genome of a filamentous phage (RS1-Km phi ). Analysis of V. cholerae strains for susceptibility to RS1-Km phi showed that classical biotype strains were more susceptible to the phage compared to el Tor and O139 strains. Nontoxigenic (CTX super(-)) O1 and O139 strains which carried genes encoding the CTX phi receptor toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) were also more susceptible (>1,000-fold) to the phage compared to toxigenic el Tor or O139 strains. Like CTX phi , the RS1 phi genome also integrated into the host chromosomes by using the attRS sequence. However, only transductants of RS1-Km phi which also harbored the CTX phi genome produced a detectable level of extracellular RS1-Km phi . This suggested that the core genes of CTX phi are also required for the morphogenesis of RS1 phi . The results of this study showed for the first time that RS1 element, which encodes a site-specific recombination system in V. cholerae, can propagate horizontally as a filamentous phage, exploiting the morphogenesis genes of CTX phi .

At Paynes Crossing (1064 km super(2)), the flood peak discharge determined by the HEC-2 backwater model was similar to 22 times > mean annual flood. While this flood destroyed in-channel benches, it deposited up to 500 mm of slackwater deposits (SWDs) on a low flood plain inset into a high flood plain which was not inundated. Slackwater deposits preserved on the high flood plain record at least three late Holocene palaeofloods with peak discharges, estimated by the HEC-2 program calibrated against the 1949 flood data, up to similar to 32 times greater than the mean annual flood. Such events have been recorded in similar sized basins in New South Wales (NSW). However, at least one even larger flood occurred between 4280 and 3380 years BP which severely eroded most of the high flood plain. This cataclysmic late Holocene flood greatly exceeded the erosional effects of the catastrophic 1949 flood.

We then used pre- and post-catchment disturbance coarse sediment supply, coarse sediment transport capacity and maximum shear stress values (based on digital elevation models and hydrological regionalizations) to develop statistical models of channel type groupings, median bed surface grain size, and the occurrence of sand slugs. We applied the models to the upper Murrumbidgee catchment to predict the pre- and post-catchment disturbance spatial distribution of channel types. The predictions indicate the expected pre-disturbance attributes of degraded reaches and identify those degraded reaches that have a high potential for physical habitat restoration.

Sediments samples were analysed directly by gamma spectrometry for super(40)K, uranium and thorium series radionuclide and super(137)Cs. Some of them have undergone radiochemical separations for the extraction of super(90)Sr, Pu isotopes, super(210)Pb and super(210)Po. Seawater samples were first preconcentrated on board of the M.S. Benyahia vessel of Institut des Sciences de la Mer et de l'Amenagement du Littoral (ISMAL) using AMP and then analysed at the laboratory by direct counting gamma spectrometry. The analysis revealed measurable quantities of artificial radioisotopes, super(239+240)Pu (0.3-0.6), super(137)Cs (0.6-9), and super(90)Sr (1.4-7.4) Bq Kg super(-l) dry mass and showed natural radioactivity ranging from (12-128), (7-28), (5-35), (5-42), (11-48), (127-632), (60-131), (52-118) Bq Kg super(-l) dry mass, for super(226)Ra, super(214)Pb, super(214)Bi, super(228)Ac, super(212)pb, super(40)K, super(210)Pb and super(210)Po, respectively. Concerning the biological indicators such as mussels and seaweeds, we did not have yet the opportunity to analyse the eventual radioactive concentration.

The mobility and concentration of bioavailable heavy metal containing in the sediment were evaluated with the use of DTPA (diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid) extraction techniques. Sum of metals in exchangeable and carbonate fractions obtained from sequential extraction scheme was used to evaluate the potential plant available. Four land blocks of size (1 m x 5.8 m) were prepared for cabbage field experiment and applied with different loading rates of sediment ( approximately 28 and 42 ton/ha or equivalent to 100 kgN/ha and 150 kgN/ha). In parallel test, land blocks treated with fertilizer at similar nitrogen loading rates were also conducted for comparisons. Pure soil plot was used as a control system. Results show that both plant available and total heavy metal concentration were found higher in those plots treated with higher loading rates of sediment (42 ton/ha). The concentrations of heavy metals (Cu,Zn,Pb) in soil were decreased with time after crop harvesting and the residues remain in the soil were well below those of the UK, USA and Germany standards. Simple linear regression was used to show the correlation between the DTPA extractable metals and the plant metals fractions (root and shoot) resulting from fertilizer and sediment applications in the amended soils. In most cases, plant available metal concentrations showed positively correlated with plant metal uptake concentrations (R super(2) = 0.01-0.95, n = 3). Concentration of metals in the cabbage tissue detected: Zn at 131.53 plus or minus 10.43 mg kg super(-1) DM, Cu at 20.84 plus or minus 1.62 mg kg super(-1) DM, Pb at 0.09 plus or minus 0.01 mg kg super(-1) DM, Cd at 0.21 plus or minus 0.09 mg kg super(-1) DM and Ni at 0.44 plus or minus 0.05 mg kg super(-1) DM. None of these metals concentration exceeded the tolerable limits of plant. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to find out the effect of different soil amendments on cabbage yield in term of fresh and dry weights. The sequence of crop yields in this field studies for amended soils is chemical fertilizer > sediment > control soil.

NOM is a problem in drinking water for a number of reasons: aesthetics; it provides an energy source for the growth of microorganisms in the distribution system; and reacts with chlorine to produce potentially harmful disinfection by-products. One promising oxidant for the removal of NOM from drinking water is the hydroxyl radical. The aim of this work was to investigate the kinetics, mechanisms, and feasibility of treatment of a highly coloured natural water by H sub(2)O sub(2) enhanced UV (254 nm alone or with 185 nm). Kinetic models were applied to the data as a tool to understand the mechanisms and give a basis for process scale-up. Electrical energy per order criteria were used to determine the most efficient process. Irradiation by 254 plus 185 nm was found to be more efficient than 254 nm alone for low H sub(2)O sub(2) doses, although at higher doses the performance of the two systems became similar. Size exclusion chromatography revealed three distinct fragmentation patterns for the different processes.

Experiments were conducted on chitosan-sludge and zeolite-sludge mixtures in the application ratio of 0.1: 10, 0.5: 10, 1.0: 10, 2.0:10, 3.0:10, and 4.0:10, respectively, and examined their capacities to bind some heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni and Pb) deriving from sewage sludge. Acrylic columns packed with chitosan and zeolite-sewage sludge mixtures in optimum ratio 1.0:10 and 3.0:10, respectively, were leached with tap water and sewage effluent at different pH levels. Seven eluate fractions were collected from the leaching test at leachant/dry sludge (L/S) ratio fixed to 0.48, 0.95, 1.43, 1.90, 2.38, 2.85, and 3.33 L/kg, respectively, and monitored for heavy metal and fecal coliform reductions. Results from leaching test studies for amended sludge showed that the variation of the observed heavy metal contents were influenced by the pH and eluate fractions of leachants. It was found that from neutral to acid conditions, the mobility of heavy metals in amended sludge mixtures was increased with the decrement of pH value in leachants. Zeolite-sludge was found to have higher percentage of reduced metal bioavailability than chitosan-sludge. It can be seen in column studies, pathogenic reduction in amended sludge mixtures were dependent with eluate fractions and type of amended materials. It was also revealed that chitosan can reduce greater fecal coliform counts in sewage sludge than that of zeolite.

AN - 16138273; 5451742 AB - Up until 1998 Australian Water Authorities have generally delivered a safe drinking water such that it has not been the subject of an inquiry or represented a high priority on the political agenda. No mandatory water quality standards presently exist in Australia, and this has been foreshadowed by the lack of "crisis" events that can focus public convictions and mobilize political resolve. However the 1998 Sydney Water crisis dramatically changed political opinion and was witness to widespread public concern about water quality. The NSW government in response to the crisis established the Sydney Water Inquiry chaired by Peter McClellan, which made a number of recommendations including the strengthening of mandatory regulatory mechanisms governing water quality. Previous to this Inquiry, a 1996 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report established a number of major insufficiencies in the Australian Water Industry, including the lack of reliable and adequate data on water contaminants. This lack of dependable data severely limits the ability to define the magnitude and complete nature of hazards confronting water consumers, and alone poses a significant unknown and risk to public health. In addition, the Report confirms the inability of voluntary guidelines and the water industry to maintain a high quality water supply for all Australians and satisfactory assure the public that a safety level not unduly contributing to ill health is being implemented and achieved. In contrast, the US Public Health Service prior to the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act 1974 undertook a study of public water systems that was fundamental in forming Congressional support. Many of these reasons such as inadequate standards, insufficient surveillance, poor compliance, and the reemergence of waterborne disease are similar or directly extrapolatable to the present Australian experience. The reasons underlying the justification for uniform legislation and mandatory regulations in the United States are stated as a comparative "goalpost" for what is considered sufficient cause or motive. In the US and generally in environmental regulation the major reason why mandatory regulations are the preferred option in assuring water quality control as opposed to voluntary guidelines is public assurance. Mandatory laws ensure that the environmental objectives and goals of the community are being addressed. Other key reasons, in addition to the past failures of a system based on voluntary guidelines are: (A) public health and safety, (B) transaction costs under represent external costs, and these external costs are borne by others in society, (C) the failure of monopoly markets, (D) reliable information dissemination critical for public knowledge and decision-making, and (E) inadequacies of common law negligence. A number of federal agencies in Australia presently initiate mandatory regulation of risks at levels similar or more stringent than that associated with water contaminants. A brief history of the recent reforms in the Australian water industry is reviewed in combination with the above reasons, to determine how the context of the restructured industry may add further to fundamental pressures. Central to this reform process has been the Hilmer Report and the corporatization of water utilities, which has among a number of initiatives endorsed the adoption of greater economic accountability. Lastly, in conjunction with this investigation the paper posits a mandatory regulatory system based on universal public health values, economic feasibility, rationale decision-making, and transparency of process for all Australians.

Two sources of alpha irradiation of muscle soft tissue were used, one from metallic U implants and a second from injected colloidal Thorotrast. After implantation, the rats were held for their life span, and radiographs of the implant sites were performed on all rats at time of implantation and at death, as well as in representative animals at three-to-four weeks after implantation. Results showed clearly that depleted U fragments of sufficient size were carcinogenic in the muscle tissues. The incidence of soft tissue neoplasms was significantly greater in rats with depleted U implants than in rats with foreign-body control implants.

The contribution of each to dioxin exposure was then estimated and compared with dietary exposures. Both pulp-based and all-cotton products were examined. While dioxins were present at trace concentrations in all of the products, TCDD and 1,2,3,7,8-pentaCDD were not present. The results suggested that dioxins from tampons and diapers did not constitute a significant human exposure to toxic equivalents or dioxin equivalents, but the assumptions made in the assessment were conservative.

While the resulting tumor is nonmetastatic, it can cause pain and suffering. The disorder has also been found in men highly exposed to antiandrogens and estrogens. An assessment is provided of the connection between organochlorine chemicals, especially dioxins, and endometriosis. Data from a number of studies are cited that have shown that TCDD and related compounds have the potential to be associated with endometriosis.

The post-ovulatory overripeness ovopathy hypothesis suggests that male experimental animals exposed to dioxin, when mated with unexposed females, experience early loss of male-biased conceptuses that results in a reduced number of progeny that are female-biased. The pre-ovulatory overripeness ovopathy hypothesis holds that female experimental animals exposed to low doses of dioxin, when mated with unexposed males, experience an increase of male-biased conceptuses and progeny that is accompanied by a loss of males. Contamination of both parents aggravates the rate of conceptopathology and the secondary sex ratio inversion.

A hypothesis is proposed to explain the association between daily fluctuations in ambient air pollution and death rates, which holds that, for the population at large, the curves of declining homeostasis and survival are linked closely. The development of a model of homeostasis to identify individuals whose decline has reached the acceleratory stage, when the risk of succumbing to modest levels of stress is heightened significantly, is outlined.

Data were collected on both home and hospital deliveries, and interviews were conducted to obtain data on the type of fuel used for cooking, the type of stove, cigarette smoking, and socioeconomic status. The association between fuel type and birth weight with adjustment or confounding was analyzed using linear regression. After adjustment for relevant confounding variables, women using wood fuel had children with a mean birth weigh 63 g less than that for women using cleaner fuels. Birth weights were also lower for women who cooked over open fires compared to those who used stoves with chimneys. Low birth weight was associated significantly with younger maternal age, smaller maternal calf circumference and shorter stature, maternal illiteracy, marital status, dirt floor, and lack of vitamin supplements during pregnancy.

Data on the prevalence of air-conditioning were obtained from the 1993 American Housing Survey of the US Census Bureau, and data on PM sub(10) emissions by source category and vehicle miles traveled by county were obtained from the EPA emissions and air-quality data website. Results showed that the relation between ambient PM sub(10) and hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder decreased significantly with increasing percentage of homes with central air-conditioning. A similar pattern was found for pneumonia, but the standard errors of the estimates were larger. The PM sub(10) regression coefficients for cardiovascular disease also increased significantly with increasing percentage of PM sub(10) emissions from highway vehicles, highway diesels, oil combustion, and metal processing, decreasing percentage of PM sub(10) emissions from fugitive dust, and increasing population density and vehicle miles traveled/mi super(2).

Low-cost intervention was defined as less than $2500/housing unit or family. The search strategy employed is described briefly. The studies examined were divided into two types of intervention: education combined with cleaning equipment or supplies, and dust control performed by cleaning professionals. For both study types, no significant difference was noted in the change in blood Pb concentrations between the intervention and control groups. However, the risk of having a blood Pb concentration greater than or equal to 15 mu g/dl or 20 mu g/dl was two to three times lower for children who received low-cost, Pb hazard control.

The selection of consistent dose metrics is described, along with the use of the ratio concept in risk assessment, which can simplify risk assessment applications of pharmacokinetic modeling for developmental toxicity or teratogenicity studies. A six-step process is outlined for consistently using dosimetry information in a mode-of-action-based doseresponse analysis. The steps, each of which is described in more detail, include: selection of potential critical studies and organization of the mode-of-action literature; selection of a pharmacokinetic model; calculation of dose metrics for toxicity studies and analysis of the potential critical studies; application of uncertainty factors; determination of human exposure; and selection of preferred dose metric/study/endpoint.

The plant had been modified with a gene encoding the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein, Cry9c. Starlink was the first Bt pest-protected plant to receive an animal feed-only registration, but when residues were found in the food supply in 2000, the company withdrew its registration and petitioned EPA for a time-limited approval for food uses to make legal the Starlink corn that was inadvertently present in the food supply. In 2001, the Scientific Advisory Panel concluded that it could not identify a safe level for Cry9a in the food supply, recommending that efforts be made to remove Starlink corn from the food supply. An assessment is provided of such plant-incorporated protectants, as illustrated by the Starlink corn case, noting its regulatory history and the risk assessment framework employed by the federal government to manage the product. The four major elements involved in the risk management effort for Starlink-regulatory action, stakeholder involvement, enforcement, and action-are described, along with the societal impacts and the scientific implications.

Daily emergency hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiac diseases were obtained from routine hospital information systems, and daily average 24-h concentrations of PM sub(10), nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide and average 8-h concentrations of ozone were collected from background monitoring stations in each city. Poisson regression was used to model the associations between daily admission counts and independent variables including nonparametric smooth functions of time, temperature, humidity, and influenza. Considerable similarities were found in the effects of each pollutant, although differences were noted in terms of a lack of association with asthma admissions in adults in Hong Kong, differences in the lag pattern for all respiratory admissions, and opposite directions of effect for O sub(3) and cardiac admissions. The results for respiratory admissions were similar when the best single day lag was chosen, with all pollutants showing significant effects in both cities, and the results for cardiac admissions were similar for both cities with respect to NO sub(2), PM sub(10), and SO sub(2).

In this study, commercially available UV units were used to characterize the effect of air exchange rate and air mixing on the efficacy of upper-room UV germicidal irradiation with Serratia marcescens aerosols in simulated saliva with and without upper-room UV germicidal irradiation. Mycobacterium bovis was also used. Results showed that the concentration of culturable microorganisms was reduced significantly by upper-room UV germicidal irradiation. The efficacy of disinfection was impacted significantly by temperature, air mixing, and the air exchange rate, however, with effectiveness increasing at higher air exchange rates and higher temperatures.

The rates of induction of each of the proteins-bax, bcl-xS/L, and bcl-2-by Cd were compared. The most marked increase was found for bcl-2, which amounted to three to four times the level in wild-type cells. The level of induction of endogenous bcl-2 proteins was not sufficient to suppress apoptosis completely. Overexpression of bcl-2 inhibited Cd-induced lactate dehydrogenase release into the medium, which was associated with necrosis. The induction of bcl-2 proteins occurred much earlier than the induction of metallothionein.

AN - 72299577; 11718958 AB - Occupational exposure to organophosphorus insecticides (OPs), such as chlorpyrifos, may be monitored by the measurement of the activity of peripheral cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes, including erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (EAChE) and serum cholinesterase (SChE). Lymphocyte neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is thought to have potential as a predictor of organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). This paper describes work performed in 39 Australian pest control operators (PCOs) exposed to a termiticide containing chlorpyrifos, and 34 unexposed control subjects. EAChE activities in PCOs did not differ from those of unexposed control workers. Mean NTE activity was slightly higher in PCOs than in controls and mean SChE was 52% of control activity. These results indicate that exposure of Australian PCOs to termiticides containing chlorpyrifos may be monitored using SChE but not EAChE or NTE, and that workers in this industry have sufficiently high OP exposure to significantly depress SChE activity. SChE inhibition of 70-80% may be associated with symptoms. Although no current symptoms were reported to be associated with occupational OP exposure, these workers may be at increased risk of acute effects following inadvertent spills or self-contamination due to their background level of exposure to OPs. While it is preferable to compare ChE enzyme activities between pre- and post-exposure periods to evaluate OP-related effects in individuals, in some cases there is an absence of pre-exposure data. The results of this study suggest that a screening value for SChE of 550 nmol/min/ml in a single blood sample may be useful to identify potentially OP-exposed individuals in the Australian population. Australian control subjects were similar with respect to EAChE, but displayed activities of NTE and SChE approximately 50 and 23% lower than an unexposed UK reference group. While these comparisons are presently speculative, they suggest that there may be differences in SChE and NTE activities in control populations of the two countries. The routine treatment of Australian homes with termiticides containing OPs, or differences in the availability and use of domestic OP-containing insecticides may explain these population differences.

AN - 72357560; 11746441 AB - Kainic acid injected in vivo into adult rats evokes the expression of the immediate early gene c-fos in the dentate gyrus and associated structures before a seizure occurs and in these and additional regions after a single motor seizure. The aim of this study was to identify cortical cell classes expressing Fos that correlate with these phenomena. Fos expression occurred before a seizure in the middle layers of entorhinal cortex in excitatory neurons and predominantly in calbindin D28-K-containing inhibitory neurons. Given the early Fos-labeling of these cells, we suggest they are associated with the hippocampal EEG events also seen at this stage of the effects of kainic acid. After a motor seizure Fos induction occurred in primary motor, sensory, piriform and entorhinal cortices, mainly in excitatory neurons, but also in a proportion of calcium binding protein-containing neurons proportionate to the degree of activation of the region as determined by Fos. Nearly 100% of neurons were Fos+ in entorhinal cortex, whereas 80% of excitatory and 50% of calcium binding protein-containing neurons were Fos+ in piriform cortex with lower proportions in neocortex. Of the calcium binding protein-containing neocortical neurons, calbindin D28-K cells exhibited the highest proportion of double labeling with Fos. This pattern of neocortical activation by kainic acid, a glutamate agonist, is only slightly different to that seen after seizures caused by blockade of gamma aminobutyric acid receptors suggesting that seizures caused by different mechanisms utilize similar neo-cortical circuitry.

A combination of radiotracers investigation based on simple mixing models allows direct investigation of relatively long-term renewal rates of an aquifer. The recharge process of the shallow Continental Terminal aquifer in the Iullemeden basin (Niger) was investigated using a geochemical and isotopic approach. This study investigates the area in the one degree square of Nianey (13-14 degree N, 2-3 degree E). In this area, recharge is highly heterogeneous and mainly occurs through a drainage system of temporary streams and pools during the rainy season. Heterogeneity of the recharge is reflected through the wide variation in electrical conductivity and oxygen-18 content of the groundwater. The carbon-14 activity range for most of the groundwater falls between 69 and 126 pmc showing pre and post-aerial thermonuclear test recharge. Two renewal rate models have been investigated: the first one models a well-mixed reservoir and the second one is derived from a piston flow model, in which mixing is in equal proportions. Major ions in tritium data analyses allow exclusion of non-representative samples and confirm the carbon-14 renewal rate estimations. Both models give similar results for the relatively low renewal rate investigated in the area. Using carbon-14, the mean annual rates of groundwater renewal range from 3 to 0.03% of the aquifer volume with a median of 0.1%. Assuming the median is representative of the overall renewal rate of the area, the recharge rate is in the order of 5 mm a super(-1). The shallow aquifer recharge extends from the last small humid period (around 4000 a) up to now. High recharge rates are found in depressions whereas low recharge occurs below the plateaux.

AN - 85357466; pmid-11738867 AB - DNA methylation is important for epigenetic regulation of genome, and it is interpreted by specific protein factors that contain a highly conserved methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). There are at present five mammalian MBD family proteins: MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, MBD4 and MeCP2. In the family of methyl-CpG binding proteins, MBD1 is characterized by the presence of MBD, two or three cysteine-rich CXXC motifs, and the C-terminal transcriptional repression domain (TRD). In addition, MBD1 has at least five isoforms due to alternative splicing events, resulting in the existence of CXXC1, CXXC2, and CXXC3 in MBD1 isoform v1 (MBD1v1) and MBD1v2, and CXXC1 and CXXC2 in MBD1v3 and MBD1v4. MBD1v1 represses transcription preferentially from both unmethylated and hypomethylated promoters, while MBD1v3 inhibits hypermethylated but not unmethylated promoter activities. The MBD and CXXC3 sequences are responsible for the ability to bind methylated and unmethylated DNAs, respectively. MBD1 is also found to be a chromosomal protein that forms many foci within the nucleus. These findings suggest that MBD1 is a unique transcriptional regulator depending on the density of methyl-CpG pairs.

Since the early 1990s, the West has provided financial aid to countries operating unsafe Soviet-built nuclear reactors on the condition that these countries close down these reactors. Analysis of developments in Bulgaria, Slovakia, & Lithuania demonstrate that this use of conditionality has not been successful. More recently, the EU has set conditions regarding the closure of unsafe reactors in connection with these countries' bids to become EU members. This use of conditionality appears to have been more successful. However, there is still a possibility that one or more of these countries will enter the EU operating a "high-risk" reactor, which raises the prospect of "intra-EU conditionality" coming into play after accession.

The issue in the establishment and expansion of the WHA was economic development or none. In the cases of power, wood, and wool production the nays succeeded convincingly. The coalition that promoted the WHA consisted largely of wilderness recreationalists and natural scientists, leading to a feeling, and partial actuality, of dispossession on the part of those recreationalists, such as shooters, anglers, off-road vehicle enthusiasts, and horse riders, who defined themselves as traditional users. Recreationalists who were within the coalition, mainly bushwalkers, climbers, cavers, and rafters, have had increasing effects on the natural values of the WHA, to the degree to which limitation of some of their activities seems necessary to maintain WHA values. Yet, any such controls have been strongly resisted. Tourism developers, traditional recreationalists, and many coalition recreationalists all wish to maintain or increase activities that are in conflict with the maintenance of the values of the WHA and/or with each other. The current management plan attempted to resolve these conflicts through compromises that do not substantially affect the values, but which lack any effective mechanisms for accountability on the part of the management agency and its minister. Despite a prolonged and complicated developmental approval process, there is no means whereby the public may appeal a ministerial decision on the grounds that it is in conflict with the general objectives of the plan. This is particularly alarming given progressive commercialisation of activities in the WHA. The WHA will continue to effectively conserve and present its values if the general public sympathy for its maintenance is expressed through an effective appeals process. There is also no reason why the minority of developers and the public who are not sympathetic to all aspects of the maintenance of its values, should not gain some benefits from the area, within the constraints of ecological sustainability.

Several albatross species, including the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans, have shown marked declines in abundance throughout their range. These seabirds are frequently taken as by-catch in longline fisheries and this mortality has been implicated in the population declines. 2. We developed a deterministic, density-dependent, age-structured model for assessing the effects of longlining on wandering albatross populations. We used demographic data from field studies at South Georgia and the Crozet Islands, data on albatross abundance from 1960 to 1995, and reported effort data from the tuna longline fisheries south of 30 degree S, to model estimated by-catch levels and other population parameters in the model. 3. The model used two alternative assumptions about patterns of at-sea distribution of wandering albatross (uniform between 30 degree S-60 degree S; proportional to the distribution of longline fishing effort between these latitudes). 4. Our model was able to predict reasonably closely the observed data from the Crozet Islands wandering albatross population, but the fit to the South Georgia population was substantially poorer. This probably reflects: (i) greater overlap in the Indian Ocean than in the Atlantic Ocean between the main areas of tuna longline fishing and the foraging ranges of wandering albatrosses from the Crozet Islands and South Georgia, respectively; and (ii) greater impact of poorly documented longline fisheries, especially the tuna fisheries in the south Atlantic and the Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides fishery, within the foraging range of wandering albatrosses from South Georgia. 5. The model results suggest that the marked decline in both populations, and subsequent recovery of the Crozet Islands population (but not the continued decline of the South Georgia population), can be explained by the tuna longline by-catch. They further indicate that populations may be able to sustain some level of incidental take. However, the likely under-reporting of fishing effort (especially in non-tunal longline fisheries) and the delicate balance between a sustainable and unsustainable level of by-catch for these long-lived populations suggest great caution in any application of such findings.

Responding to certain hazardous material incidents requires firefighters to wear fully encapsulated chemical protective suits for a maximum period of 20 minutes. The nature of these suits, combined with workload and environmental conditions, poses a potential heat stress problem for firefighters. This study evaluates the heat-induced physiological responses of firefighters while wearing fully encapsulated chemical protective suits in a series of controlled thermal environments. Heart rate, body (aural) temperature, blood pressure, fluid loss, and a rating of perceived exertion were measured to evaluate the effect of increasing ambient air temperature during the performance of standard tasks. The results of the study indicated that the significant increase in heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure was directly related to the increase in air temperature. The research indicates that the recommended suit wearing time of 20 minutes provided adequate physiological protection under the research conditions.

Sister copies of regions in an approximately oriC-proximal half of the chromosome are cohesive with each other after replication until the late period of chromosome replication. Sister copies of regions relatively close to the terminus are also separated from each other in the same late period of replication. It is important that sister copies in all the tested regions are thus separated from each other nearly all at once in the late period of chromosome replication. These results are consistent with results obtained by FISH in randomly growing cultures. Cohesion of sister copies in an oriC-close region is observed in a dam null mutant lacking DNA adenine methyltransferase the same as in the parental isogenic dam super(+) strain, indicating that the cohesion is independent of DNA adenine methyltransferase. This further implies that hemimethylated DNA-binding proteins, such as SeqA, are not involved in the cohesion. On the other hand, the cohesion of sister copies of the oriC-close region was not observed in mukB null mutant cells, suggesting that MukB might be involved in the chromosome cohesion.

Corneal lesions and MMP inductionin vivo were evaluated in rabbit corneas infected with a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Effects of pseudomonal virulence factors [elastase, alkaline protease, exotoxin A and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)], tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha and interleukin (IL)-1 beta on MMP induction and activation were further examined in vitro in rabbit corneal fibroblasts (RCF) and human fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cells using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), zymography and immunoblotting. Corneal ulcers with typical ring abscesses were observed 12-24 h after infection, and MMPs, particularly MMP-9, were upregulated in infected corneas. Pseudomonal elastase caused the most extensive damage to both cell types. RCF treated with pseudomonal exoproteases or LPS expressed and secreted MMP-9. Exotoxin A had no effect on MMP expression. Both IL-1 beta and TNF- alpha augmented MMP-9 expression in HT1080 cells. Pseudomonal elastase proteolytically activated MMP-2 and MMP-9 released from the cells. In conclusion, corneal destruction seen with P. aeruginosa infections may result from enhanced expression of MMPs by corneal stromal cells stimulated with pseudomonal exoproteases and proinflammatory cytokines and the proteolytic activation of MMPs by pseudomonal elastase.

Novel monoclonal antibodies were raised against cDDR5 conjugated with a multiple-antigen peptide (cDDR5-MAP), and the purified antibody [KB8C12, immunoglobulin M( Kappa )] reacted with cDDR5, but not with linear DDR5, in real-time biomolecular interaction analysis using surface plasmon resonance. The antibody also reacted with cells expressing CCR5, but not with cells expressing CXCR4, and the immunoreaction was competed by cDDR5-MAP. The antibody significantly interfered with chemotaxis induced by macrophage inflammatory protein, 1 beta , and at a concentration of 1.67 nM it almost completely inhibited infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) R5, but not by HIV-1 X4, as observed by use of a new phenotypic assay for drug susceptibility of HIV-1 using the CCR5-expressing HeLa CD4 super(+) cell clone 1-10 (MAGIC-5). Furthermore, cDDR5-MAP suppressed infection by HIV-1 R5 at relatively high concentrations (50 to 400 mu M) in a dose-dependent manner but did not suppress infection by HIV-1 X4. Taken together, these results indicate that the antibody is conformation specific and recognizes the conformation-specific domain of the UPA of ECL2. Moreover, both the antibody and its immunogen, the cDDR5-MAP conjugate, may be useful in developing a new candidate vaccine for HIV therapy.

The controlled temperature and pressure conditions, along with the high level of acquisition repeatability attainable using sandbox physical models, allow the TL3-D seismic response to pore fluid movement to be distinguished from all other effects. TL3-D seismic techniques are currently being developed to monitor hydrocarbon reserves within producing reservoirs in an endeavour to improve overall recovery. However, in many ways, sandbox models under atmospheric conditions more accurately simulate the shallow subsurface than petroleum reservoirs. For this reason, perhaps the greatest application for analogue sandbox modelling is to improve our understanding of shallow groundwater and environmental flow mechanisms. Two fluid flow simulations were conducted whereby air and kerosene were injected into separate water-saturated unconsolidated sand models. In both experiments, a base 3-D seismic volume was recorded and compared with six later monitor surveys recorded while the injection program was conducted. Normal incidence amplitude and P-wave velocity information were extracted from the TL3-D seismic data to provide visualization of contaminant migration. Reflection amplitudes displayed qualitative areal distribution of fluids when a suitable impedance contrast existed between pore fluids. TL3-D seismic reflection tomography can potentially monitor the change in areal distribution of fluid contaminants over time, indicating flow patterns. However, other research and this current work have not established a quantifiable relationship between either normal reflection amplitudes and attenuation and fluid saturation. Generally, different pore fluids will have unique seismic velocities due to differences in compressibility and density. The predictable relationships that exist between P-wave velocity and fluid saturation can allow a quantitative assessment of contaminant migration.

Described are alterations in endocrine function, metabolic diseases, functional immune response, reproductive impairment, developmental toxicity, tumor incidence and genotoxicity, and behavior and neurobehavioral development. The data show that the wildlife health effects occurred most often and were most severe in the most contaminated sites, which included Green Bay, Saginaw Bay, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence estuary, and Lake Erie. The biologic significance of the health effects currently seen in one or more species of the Great Lakes wildlife is unclear, however, and must be studied further.

The incidence of type 1 diabetes is typically before adulthood, while that of type 2 is typically during adulthood. For both types, incidence rates have increased over relatively short periods and vary widely across geographic areas, which suggest that environmental factors account for much of the disease. A discussion is presented of the potential risk factors for both types of diabetes in the Great Lakes Areas of Concern. The potential risk factors for type 1 diabetes are identified as nitrates, nitrites, nitrosoamines, and PCB, and those for type 2 diabetes are identified as arsenic and TCDD. The review points to no obvious environmental contaminants that conclusively explain the variation in diabetes rates. For type 2 diabetes, the data on As and TCDD are suggestive but inconclusive, while for type 1 diabetes, the data on intake of nitrates, nitrites, nitrosoamines, and PCBs from drinking water are less suggestive but not completely null.

Here, an extensive review is presented of the epidemiologic data in this area. The types of measurements used in the majority of published epidemiologic studies of residential EMF exposure are described, focusing on some of the difficulties associated with such assessments, and the same is done for occupational exposures. Data from the epidemiologic literature are then presented in the areas of childhood cancer, adult cancer, neurodegenerative disease, suicide and depression, cardiovascular diseases, and reproductive effects. The strongest evidence of a link between EMF exposure and adverse health outcomes is shown for childhood leukemia in relation to postnatal exposures above 0.4 mu T, for which a relative risk of 2.0 has been estimated. Evidence has also been found for an association between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and occupational EMF exposure.

In order to obtain data on possible public health effects of water pollution in the region, the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System data base records, which pertain to all diagnoses upon hospital discharge for all hospitals, and patient ZIP codes of residence were used to examine selected diagnoses of endocrine diseases of combined residents of the areas near the Niagara River, Buffalo River, and 18 Mile Creek. The selected health outcomes included: disorders of the thyroid gland, ovarian dysfunction, testicular dysfunction, and diseases of the female genital tract. Analysis of the data revealed that several endocrine diseases were more common among residents living in ZIP codes near the three Areas of Concern. One of the most striking elevations was that for thyroid disease in women.

The subjects were recruited from a styrenebutadiene rubber plant in southeastern Texas and constituted a high- and a low-exposure group, respectively. The frequencies of HPRT variant lymphocytes were determined using the short-term autoradiographic assay. The average M1 concentration was found to be approximately threefold greater in the high-exposure group than in the low-exposure group, which was also found in terms of the magnitude of difference in HPRT variant frequency.

Arsenic levels in urine samples were compared with those in respective tube wells, and a graded scoring of skin manifestation was used as the effect indicator. The two rural communities used in the study were located in northwestern Bangladesh. Highly significant correlations were noted between tube-well As and urinary As. Females had higher urinary As concentrations than males. The degree of skin manifestation was significantly greater in males than in females, even though the levels of exposure were similar between the sexes. Similar results were observed in paired males and females of similar ages from the same households. The observed sex difference, however, could have been influenced by differences in sunlight exposure and smoking habit.

Exposure to neurotoxins was also assessed in the same individuals, as well as circulating levels of selenium and N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could afford protection against exposure to neurotoxins. Average Hg concentrations were 1.8 times higher in cord blood than in maternal blood, and the average hair Hg concentrations were similar during all three trimesters of pregnancy. The most prevalent PCB congeners in cord plasma, maternal plasma, and breast milk were 153, 138, and 180, followed by congeners 99, 118, 170, and 187. The predominant chlorinated pesticides were p,p' DDE, hexachlorobenzene, oxychlordane, and trans-nonachlor. Concentrations of PCBs and chlorinated pesticides were lowest in cord plasma and highest in breast milk. Cord blood Se concentrations were associated weakly with cord plasma PCB 153, but moderately associated with cord blood, maternal blood, and hair Hg concentrations. Dicosahexaenoic acid was correlated weakly with PCB 153 and moderately with Hg concentrations. The findings suggested that PCB congener 153 could be considered a marker for exposure to most organochlorines in the Arctic region.

The roles of the gonadal steroids, thyroid hormones, and glucocorticoids in brain development and function are summarized, and the endocrine changes and cognitive effects that have been reported for several major pollutants are outlined. The pollutants include PCBs and dioxins, lead, and organochlorine pesticides. While much more study in this area is required, the data suggest that endocrine disruptors can also have direct effects on the nervous system, which contribute to the cognitive deficits induced by the compounds.

Nine healthy men from Villa Juarez, Durango, were used, four of whom were pesticide sprayers. The remaining five were employed in the agriculture sector, but were not involved directly in pesticide spraying. Semen samples were collected from each participant after at least 3 d of sexual abstinence. A spot morning urine sample was also collected from each participant before semen sample collection. A direct association was found between an increased frequency of sex null sperm aneuploidy and organophosphorus metabolite levels in the urine samples. The most frequent aneuploidy was a lack of a sexual chromosome or sex null. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of the three most frequent aneuploidies when compared before and during the spraying season, but the frequency of total aneuploidies was slightly higher during the spraying season. A significant association was found between diethylphosphate and sex null, while smaller but still significant associations were found with dimethylthiophosphate and total dialkylphosphates.

The ethical dilemma in this area is examined, noting three pillars of protection of human subjects in research: justice, beneficence, and respect for persons. Each is described briefly. These concepts, which constitute the Belmont Report that was devised primarily as guidance for clinical trials, are discussed in light of the possibility of applying them in the wider context of environmental exposure to developmental neurotoxicants. It is argued that a scheme can be designed for incorporating ethics assessment into risk characterization by applying fuzzy logic, which could incorporate tents of the precautionary principle.

To assess the usefulness of different heat stress indices in identifying episodes of hot weather detrimental to human health, the relationships identified between hot weather and mortality were compared by using various levels of two commonly used indices: humidex and apparent temperature. Data covering the period 198086 were used. The mortality impacts associated with weather conditions sufficient to call heat warnings and heat emergencies according to the city's interim alert plan were evaluated. The results indicated that humidex and apparent temperature were nearly perfectly correlated. Mortality rates for total and elderly age groups increased across humidex and apparent temperature categories, but excess mortality was observed at the 3540 degree C humidex range, which was below that used in the Toronto interim hot weather response plan. The health outcomes accorded to different levels of apparent temperature were more appropriate than the comfort levels ascribed to humidex.

The model compounds included: diethylstilbestrol, ethinyl estradiol, tamoxifen, bisphenol A, 4-tert-octylphenol, genistein, GnRHa, and flutamide. Results showed that neonatal estrogen treatment induced major changes in the pattern and intensity of sex steroid receptor expression in seminal vesicles. Loss of immunoexpression of androgen receptor, especially in epithelial cells of the seminal vesicles, was induced by neonatal estrogen treatment coincident with upregulation of estrogen-receptor- alpha immunoexpression and the induction of progesterone receptor immunoexpression in stromal cells. In contrast to diethylstilbestrol, tamoxifen, and flutamide, none of the weak estrogens affected any of the endpoints studied, even though they were administered at very high doses.

All of the study lakes were located in Florida. The normal sexual dimorphism in testosterone hydroxylase activity was found to be disturbed in all of the contaminated sites investigated. This was also observed for testosterone oxido-reductase activities, while the pattern of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity was altered significantly at one of the contaminated sites. Testosterone sulfotransferase activity did not appear to be altered significantly.

A hypothetical case study was applied to Houston, TX, to demonstrate an approach for applying past studies to different geographic locations. While evidence was found of mortality and respiratory morbidity from O sub(3) exposure, significant uncertainties were uncovered. Using estimates and probability weights, a 1- mu g/m super(3) decrease in annual average O sub(3) concentration was estimated to lead to an annual benefit of approximately $10 per individual, with nearly 90% of the total related to premature mortality. Areas of research that could aid in reducing the uncertainties of benefit estimation are identified.

The experimental results were interpreted using a modified form of the two-stage Moolgavkar-Venzon-Knudson model. To obtain model predictions, values of the mutation rate, the division rate, the death rate, and the senescence rate were determined by analyzing the experimental data, and the values were then used to simulate Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cell growth and senescence during four passages after exposure to a range of As concentrations. Results showed that exposure to 5.4 mu M As led to senescence rather than immortalization. The model, which is outlined, was found to successfully predict the growth of normal and As-treated SHE cells.

All blood samples were analyzed for DDE and 89 PCB congeners. The results suggested that PCB exposure and Great Lakes fish consumption were associated with decreased levels of thyroxine and free thyroxine index, and the relationships were stronger in women than in men. Fish consumption, but not PCB exposure, was also associated significantly with decreased levels of triiodothyronine in men. Years of Great Lakes fish eating were associated positively and negatively with thyroid-stimulating hormone in women and men, respectively. Despite a strong correlation between PCB and DDE levels, DDE was not associated with changes in any hormone in either males or females after controlling for confounders.

Linear regressions showed no association between scab incidence and any of 12 individual soil chemical properties. However, using contingency tables, threshold levels were found for pH and exchangeable cations below which scab disease was less likely. The observed pH threshold in the range 5.0-5.2 was in accordance with similar findings from elsewhere and indicates the robustness of this threshold over a range of soil types and pathogen species. Scab was not observed on potatoes grown in soil with combined exchangeable Ca, Mg and K at 12 cmolc/kg or less. A strong correlation between soil pH and these exchangeable cations, particularly calcium, was found.

The resulting DNA fragments were approximately 800bp in length and their sequences were determined directly. Analysis of sequences of the major open reading frame (ORF) within the DNA fragments obtained showed the presence of two virus strains. The first group was of two isolates, the original Japanese isolate from which the primers were derived and one from Germany, and the second group contained 33 isolates from four continents. The sequences of different groups differed from one another by at least 15.6% (nucleotide) and 1.8% (amino-acid), but the within-group differences were much less (<1.7% difference). A search of the international nucleotide database with the OFV sequences showed them to be related, but distantly, to nucleoprotein regions of the genomes of four plant-infecting rhabdoviruses.

Several countries have been known to have biologic-weapons programs that were focusing on B. anthracis for potential military use. However, fatal anthrax had not been encountered in the United States as a weapon in an act of war or terror until the index case we report was recognized. Anthrax is a rare bacterial infection acquired by inhalation, ingestion, or cutaneous contact with the endospores of B. anthracis. The organism is normally a pathogen of large herbivorous mammals, and infection in humans normally results from contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products, especially hides. Inhalational anthrax is particularly rare and, in previous eras, has usually been fatal once the disease is established. Of the few cases reported in the United States, almost all have been associated with occupational exposure to endospores. We present the first case of inhalational anthrax to occur in the United States since 1978; it is an especially important case because of its origin in an act of biologic terrorism.

The snow samples contained 19-1300 pg/g of Pb with isotopic ratios super(206)Pb/ super(207)Pb ( super(208)Pb/ super(207)Pb) of 1.1279-1.1607 (2.3983-2.4302). Airborne Pb concentrations at one sampling site ranged from 0.42 to 6.0 ng/m super(3) with isotopic ratios of 1.1321-1.1427 (2.4029-2.4160). Air mass trajectory analysis combined with isotopic compositions of potential source regions did not show discernible evidence of the long-range atmospheric transport of pollutants. Isotopic ratios in the Alpine snow samples and thus the free troposphere were generally higher than airborne Pb isotopic ratios in urban France, which coupled with the relatively high Pb concentrations suggested a regional anthropogenic Pb source, probably Italy but possibly Eastern Europe.

AN - 72330823; 11758766 AB - Parent cyclodextrins are known to accelerate the degradations such as dehydration and isomerization of E-type prostaglandins in neutral and alkaline solutions. The objective of this study was to attempt the stabilization and solubilization of E1-type prostaglandin analogue in aqueous solution by biocompatible cyclodextrin derivatives. The interaction of an E1-type prostaglandin, methyl 7-[(1R,2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-[(E)-(3S)-3-hydroxy-4-(m-methoxymethylphenyl)1-butenyl]-5-oxocyclopentyl]-5-thiaheptanoate (MEester) with cyclodextrins (CyDs) was studied by spectroscopies and the solubility method. The degradation of MEester was monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography. 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies indicated that MEester forms 1:1 inclusion complexes with alpha-, beta-, and gamma-CyDs in solutions, where alpha-CyD interacts with the a-side chain containing methyl ester moiety of the drug, whereas beta- and gamma-CyDs preferentially include around the five-membered ring and both side chains of the drug. Parent alpha-CyD and hydrophilic derivatives, such as 2-hydoxypropyl-alpha- and -beta-CyDs, sulfobutyl ether beta-CyD (SBE-beta-CyD) and maltosyl beta-CyD showed higher solubilizing abilities against MEester over parent beta- and gamma-CyDs. SBE-beta-CyD and 2,6-dimethyl-beta-CyD (DM-beta-CyD) significantly decelerated the degradation of MEester, particularly the base-catalyzed dehydration, in neutral and alkaline solutions, whereas other CyDs accelerated the degradation. The acid-catalyzed degradation of MEester (pH < 3) was decelerated by the addition of CyDs, especially alpha-CyD. SBE-beta-CyD with low hemolytic activity and low toxicity is useful as a pharmaceutical carrier for the preparation of injectable MEester, because of its higher stabilizing and solubilizing effects on MEester. Furthermore, SBE-beta-CyD can be useful as a stabilizing agent for drugs, that are subject to base-catalyzed degradations, probably because of the electric repulsion between anionic charges of the sulfobutyl moiety and catalytic anionic species such as hydroxide ion.

AN - 72269717; 11704782 AB - Pain of multiple etiologies remains a substantial problem for many patients presenting in the clinical setting. Improved pain relief can be demonstrated, and adverse effects minimized, by multimodal analgesic combinations as the method to improve pain treatment. Substantial evidence supports combining analgesics for the management of pain and, in some instances, they have a heterogeneous pharmacologic sparing effect. Fixed-dose combination analgesics with demonstrated efficacy and safety are widely useful for pain management. However, work needs to continue to further explore which analgesics at which doses can be combined with a coanalgesic in a patient-specific manner to achieve additive, if not synergistic, multimodal pain relief with the fewest possible adverse consequences. Unsupervised consumption of over-the-counter drugs that contain acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen offers clinical challenges to both the patient and health care providers. Couple this often undisclosed over-the-counter medication consumption event with prescription medications, which many contain similar combination ingredients, and the potential for a therapeutic misadventure may precipitate. This article will address the safety and efficacy of acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen independently and in combination with currently available prescription dosage forms with a focus on pharmacology, pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics, including drug interactions at the CYP450 system. Patient-specific cautions are presented for opiate/opioid combinations, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and propoxyphene, and there is a discussion of COX I/COX II agents.

AN - 71299261; 11916151 AB - Suprofen (SP) was little reduced by rabbit kidney carbonyl reductase, whereas its methyl ester (SPM) was an efficient substrate of the enzyme. To account for the differential catalytic activities for SP and SPM, the protective effects of these compounds against the inactivation of the enzyme by phenylglyoxal (PGO) were compared. Since the carboxyl group of SP is negatively charged and one essential arginine residue is known to be located in the NADPH-binding site of the enzyme, the protection of SP against the inactivation of the enzyme by PGO is expected to be more effective than that of SPM lacking a carboxyl group. However, the protective effects of SP and SPM were very similar. These results suggest that in spite of evidence for the binding of SP to the coenzyme-binding site, the carboxyl group of SP fails to interact with one essential arginine residue located in the site.

Brain slices, 300 is a subset of m thick, were cut horizontally, exposed to either N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or kainic acid (KA) for 2 h, fixed and then cut into thin (30 is a subset of m) sections in the same (horizontal) plane as the slice. The sections were immunolabelled for tyrosine hydroxylase to identify different groups of catecholamine neurons (substantia nigra (SN), paranigral (PN), interfascicular (IF) and hypothalamic A11, A13 and A14) which exhibited prominent dendritic projections in the horizontal plane. Loss of dendrites was used as a sensitive index of damage that precedes the loss of the cell body. Catecholamine neurons differed strikingly in their vulnerability to EAA-induced dendrite degeneration. The most vulnerable were those in the dorsal tier of the SN, whereas the most resistant were those in the hypothalamic All group. For example, in the dorsal tier of SN, NMDA (50 is a subset of M) reduced the proportion of neurons with dendrites from 64% (±8% SEM) in controls to 13% (±7%) whereas the majority of All neurons (69±10%) retained their dendrites compared to controls (89%±8%). The other groups of catecholamine neurons exhibited intermediate vulnerability. An essentially similar pattern of differential vulnerability was observed with KA. An understanding of the cellular mechanisms that underlie the particular vulnerability of SN neurons in the slice will aid the discovery of pharmacological therapies to prevent or slow the pathological process in neurodegenerative diseases which involve these neurons.

Given increased population, overlapping and conflicting uses of resources and space such a dialogue and interaction is imperative to sustainability - especially in the allocation of rights and the management of living aquatic resources. As such, one fundamental issue that needs to be assessed is the nature of such a dialogue and co-operative arrangements needed at given times. Ought it be instructive, consultative, co-operative, advisory, or informative - or even restrictive? It is necessary to determine the manner in which the villagers, the private sector or the fisheries or resource utilisation mechanisms as such function at a specific time in order to estimate the type and level of intervention that would be required - and by whom - to work towards long term sustainability in targeted areas and sectors. The review of different cases indicates that analyses along such a spectrum can be applied and the nature and status of present user - government dialogue (whether into large or small scale operations) would be the entry point for interventions to facilitate processes in beneficial directions. Whom to benefit needs to be defined as part of the process as well as how to financially sustain the interaction over time (taxes, subsidies, loans, etc.). As results of interventions in a specific situation (with regards to, groups of users, villagers, certain area, or with regards to a sector as a whole) are being seen, either positive or negative, the level and intensity of the dialogue will change in either direction - becoming more or less restrictive, etc. In a stable case with few problems, a relatively low government profile is needed while the contrary would be the case in a situation with many problems and more or less obvious conflicts. The work in accordance with this format of development of suitable dialogue and levels of interaction and intervention there is also a need to have a fairly well structured system with regards to legal and institutional arrangements in place. This now not really the case in Southeast Asia and a series of coastal case studies and project preparation workshops conducted by ICLARM in the Mekong River Region indicated some serious shortcomings in legal and institutional arrangements.

Hence it appears that the parent does not influence the synchrony of development. Synchronous development was also evident among P. rufa females within swarms and a strong peak of release of their brood was evident over 1 or 2 nights. In contrast, swarms of the sympatric species A. mixta australis and T. tasmaniae released their young in a staggered fashion over a longer time period. At the time of emergence from the marsupium, young are vulnerable to cannibalism from adults and older juveniles. Newborn young moulted within 30 min of emergence from the marsupium. Both pre-moult and post-moult juveniles were cannibalised by older life stages, though the former were eaten in larger numbers probably because post-moult newborns were more agile swimmers. Pre-moult newborns were not cannibalised by the parent females though they became vulnerable after the first moult. Whether the strategy of synchronous development and release is manifested in mysid swarms may depend on the size of the swarm. For species that form relatively small swarms (up to 1000 individuals), such as P. rufa, synchronous release from a large number of females may be important to promote early swarming among newly liberated juveniles. Synchronous release may be less important for the reproductive success of species that form larger swarms that continuously release large numbers of young, such as A. mixta australis and T. tasmaniae.

AN - 18252281; 5310660 AB - Spontaneous motility in the first six months of infancy has been examined over the last few decades using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The major focus of the quantitative research has been to investigate a dynamic systems approach to understanding motor development, and has primarily examined normal development in fullterm infants. Recently, there have been several papers comparing spontaneous kicking in fullterm and preterm infants. These studies were designed to identify developmental differences that may indicate a risk of later motor disability. There has, however, been criticism that the quantitative approach fails to detect developmental differences that are useful in early identification of disability, unlike qualitative approaches which use the principles of Gestalt perception to examine the quality of the total movement pattern in young infants. The current paper describes both qualitative and quantitative techniques and reviews recent studies using motion analysis to compare early motor development in fullterm and preterm infants. New evidence is provided to suggest that the quantitative approach may not only be useful in detecting infants at risk of motor disability, but may also be useful in identifying the underlying processes that determine normal and abnormal motor outcomes.

Past research employing the order parameter and control parameter concepts, has identified frequency of movement as a control parameter that affects the stability of finger movement patterns (the order parameter). The present study investigated the hypothesis that multiple movement related variables can interact to influence the stability of an order parameter. Specifically, the combined effect of the rate of movement and movement force on the stability of bimanual finger tapping was examined. Participants were required to initiate an anti-phase tapping pattern under three different movement rate conditions (600, 400, and 200 ms), and were required to increase the force of one finger at the onset of a randomly presented stimulus. The results indicate that an increase in the force parameter at lower tapping rates (600 ms) did not affect the phase relation of the fingers, however at higher rates (200 and 400 ms), the introduction of a force parameter resulted in fluctuations of the phase relation of the fingers, which were followed by pattern shifts from anti-phase to in-phase tapping. The results indicate that movement force and rate of movement interact to influence the outcome of the tapping pattern. Further research is required to investigate force as a control parameter.

M. truncatula has been chosen as a model legume for the study of nodulation-related genes and proteins. Over 2500 root proteins could be displayed reproducibly across an isoelectric focussing range of 4-7. We analysed 485 proteins by peptide mass fingerprinting, and 179 of those were identified by matching against the current M. truncatula expressed sequence tag (EST) database containing DNA sequences of approximately 105 000 ESTs. Matching the EST sequences to available plant DNA sequences by BLAST searches enabled us to predict protein function. The use of the EST database for peptide identification is discussed. The majority of identified proteins were metabolic enzymes and stress response proteins, and 44% of proteins occurred as isoforms, a result that could not have been predicted from sequencing data alone. We identified two nodulins in uninoculated root tissue, supporting evidence for a role of nodulins in normal plant development. This proteome map will be updated continuously (http://semele.anu.edu.au/2d/2d.html) and will be a powerful tool for investigating the molecular mechanisms of root symbioses in legumes.

These include seawater intrusion, high-level radioactive waste disposal, groundwater contamination, and geothermal energy production. When the density of the invading fluid is greater than that of the ambient one, density-driven free convection can lead to transport of heat and solutes over larger spatial scales and significantly shorter time scales than compared with diffusion alone. Beginning with the work of Lord Rayleigh in 1916, thermal and solute instabilities in homogeneous media have been studied in detail for almost a century. Recently, these theoretical and experimental studies have been applied in the study of groundwater phenomena, where the assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy rarely, if ever, apply. The critical role that heterogeneity plays in the onset as well as the growth and/or decay of convective motion is discussed by way of a review of pertinent literature and numerical simulations performed using a variable-density flow and solute transport numerical code. Different styles of heterogeneity are considered and range from continuously "trending" heterogeneity (sinusoidal and stochastic permeability distributions) to discretely fractured geologic media. Results indicate that both the onset of instabilities and their subsequent growth and decay are intimately related to the structure and variance of the permeability field. While disordered heterogeneity tends to dissipate convection through dispersive mixing, an ordered heterogeneity (e.g., sets of vertical fractures) allows instabilities to propagate at modest combinations of fracture aperture and separation distances. Despite a clearer understanding of the processes that control the onset and propagation of instabilities, resultant plume patterns and their migration rates and pathways do not appear amenable to prediction at present. The classical Rayleigh number used to predict the occurrence of instabilities fails, in most cases, when heterogeneous conditions prevail. The incorporation of key characteristics of the heterogeneous permeability field into relevant stability criteria and numerical models remains a challenge for future research.

The dot/icm genes are predicted to encode a type IV-related secretion apparatus. However, no proteins have been identified that require the dot/icm genes for secretion. In this study we show that the DotA protein, which was previously found to be a polytopic membrane protein, is secreted by the Dot/Icm transporter into culture supernatants. Secreted DotA protein was purified and N-terminal sequencing of the purified protein revealed that a 19 amino acid leader peptide is removed from DotA prior to secretion. Extracellular DotA protein did not fractionate in membrane vesicles. Structures containing secreted DotA protein were visualized by electron microscopy and were shaped like hollow rings. These data indicate that the large poly topic membrane protein DotA is secreted from L.pneumophila by a unique process. This represents the first target secreted by the dot/icm-encoded apparatus and demonstrates that this transporter is competent for protein secretion.

CRPV induces squamous papillomas in domestic rabbits, of which similar to 70% transform into invasive carcinomas. In advanced tumors, virus is often undetectable, and occasionally, some rabbits undergo spontaneous regression of papillomas. Techniques utilized to scarify rabbit skin are diverse, often labor intensive and time consuming with the possibility for significant variability. Using four unique infection techniques, resultant papilloma incidence, time to onset, and total papilloma volumes were compared to determine an optimal challenge method. Five rabbits were each infected with CRPV via a tattoo gun with and without ink, an intradermal injection, manual use of a tattoo needle, or a sterile blade followed by manual use of a tattoo needle. Papilloma formation was monitored weekly after inoculation for 6 weeks. CRPV papillomas began as pinpoint foci at 3 weeks post challenge and grew exponentially throughout the course of measurement. Individual foci coalesced rapidly to form larger papilloma aggregates. Although intradermal injection was well tolerated and easily performed, it was the worst method of papilloma production (2.2 mm super(3) at 6 weeks). The best method, a sterile blade followed by manual use of a tattoo needle, produced significantly larger papillomas over all time periods (>1100 mm super(3) at 6 weeks, P<0.01). Inoculation of CRPV using this method produces highly repeatable papillomas beginning 3 weeks post-infection.

The extracted tibia extended to 10 cm both above and below the proximaldistal midpoint of the bone shaft. At multiple proximaldistal sections, duplicate core and surface tibia samples were analyzed for Pb using electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry. The results suggested that surface tibia Pb concentration significantly exceeded core tibia Pb concentration, independent of proximaldistal location. Both core and surface tibia Pb decreased in a nonlinear manner toward the ends of the dissected tibia cross-sections.

Subsequently, effects on enzyme induction, thyroid hormones, and oxidative stress were examined and compared. Significant differences between lots of Aroclor 1254 were found in terms of the induction of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, methoxyresorufin O-deethylase, and pentoxyresorufin O-deethylase. On a toxic equivalents basis, however, the two lots were more similar. The two mixtures resulted in the same doseresponse curve for the decrease in total T sub(4), but on a toxic equivalents basis, the effects were not similar. Neither lot affected cytochrome c reduction, and there were no consistent doseresponse findings for glutathione.

When extrapolated back to time of conception, the serum TCDD levels among the workers ranged 316,340 ppt. Separate analyses of all fetal loss and early or late fetal loss did not yield any association with paternal TCDD level. The sex ratio among offspring was also not affected markedly among adults exposed to high levels of TCDD.

Samples were obtained at seven occupied homes where the owners had applied 2,4-D, at four homes where the herbicide had been applied commercially, and at two unoccupied homes that had also been sprayed commercially. With homeowner and commercial applications, there was approximately a three- and twofold decrease, respectively, in indoor air concentrations within 24 h after application, but during application, there appeared to be approximately threefold lower levels in indoor air with commercial application compared to homeowner application. After application, approximately 70% of the total indoor airborne 2,4-D was associated with inspirable particles, and among homes, the major differences between the post-application indoor levels were caused by levels on particles greater than 2.5 mu m. In occupied homes, track-in was the dominant mechanism for contribution of residues to floors, and in most homes, the 2,4-D levels on sills and tables exhibited a gradient similar to that observed for the floor loadings, from high to low with the direction of traffic through the home. The home with an active dog and children and shoes worn indoors had significantly higher indoor levels than those in low-activity homes. The use of scenarios to estimate potential post-application nondietary exposure of 1- to 2-yr-old children revealed that children would not be exposed at levels exceeding the EPA Integrated Risk Information System reference dose of 10 mu g/kg/d.

AN - 14610265; 10615837 AB - Hypospadias, which is a common congenital anomaly in the US, is defined as an arrest in normal development of the urethral, foreskin, and ventral aspect of the penis, which results in a wide range of abnormalities, with the urethral opening located anywhere along the shaft of the penis or within the scrotum. The normal development of the male external genitalia is described, and the prevalence, etiology, risk factors, and epidemiology of hypospadias are reviewed. The condition has been linked possibly to exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, as advances in integrated cellular, molecular, physiologic, biochemical, and toxicologic research has revealed several stages of urogenital development that are vulnerable to these chemicals. While there are currently no known xenoestrogens that have been associated specifically with hypospadias, there are a number of possible mechanisms by which xenoestrogens might alter development of the penis and urogenital tract, from influencing specific areas of the brain to affecting directly the development of the reproductive organs.

The time course of dissipation of the residues after initial treatment was assessed, considering the influence of different fur lengths. In addition, the amount of plasma cholinesterase inhibition in the dog was examined as a biomarker of insecticide absorption and persistence in the dog. No correlation was noted between fur length and transferable residues. The levels of chlorpyrifos dissipated quickly after each dipping. For the non-shampoo and shampoo protocols, the terminal half-lives of dissipation of transferable chlorpyrifos were 5.38 and 5.40 d, respectively. The maximum observed inhibition of plasma cholinesterase activities occurred at 7 d.

Congener-specific analysis of PCBs was performed according to previously established methods, as were analyses of PCDDs, PCDFs, and polychlorinated naphthalene. Results indicated that the composition of PCBs was different in the two lots. When the congeners were grouped according to the number of chlorines, the two lots had similar percentages of PCB congeners, except for the heptachlorinated congeners. When the congeners were grouped based on the number of ortho-chlorine substitutions, the two lots were significantly different. The PCDF composition was also different between lots, and while total polychlorinated naphthalenes were similar, penta- and hexachlorinated naphthalenes were higher in one lot, and hepta- and octachlorinated naphthalenes were higher in the other. The calculated toxic equivalents value for one of the lots was 11 times higher than that for the other. Differences between the two lots were observed in terms of effects on microsomal calcium ion uptake and protein kinase C translocation, which were attributed to differences in the composition of ortho congeners in the two mixtures.

Determination of exposure has been difficult because HDI is self-reacting and may hydrolyze with hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, or amino groups on proteins. Results are presented from a study in which a sensitive and specific immunoassay was developed for biomonitoring HDI exposure. A rabbit antiserum of HDI-adducted keyhole limpet hemocyanin was produced, and its specificity was determined. Ultimately, four types of immunoassay were developed, each of which depended on the specificity of the rabbit antiserum. The sensitivity of the assays ranged 1.8600 nM HDI adduct. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the three-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were determined to have adequate sensitivity to detect workplace HDI concentrations.

Results are presented from a study in which the fate of the steroids in solid cattle manure, liquid cattle manure, and soil amended with treated manure was determined. Significantly greater amounts of residues were found in solid manure than in liquid manure, but with increasing storage times, the amounts decreased. In soil amended with the cattle manure, trenblone acetate and melengestrol acetate residues were detectable for up to eight weeks after fertilization and until the end of the cultivation period, respectively.

Before the houses were built, the area was covered only with a layer of soil 17 m thick. In this study, persons living in houses built on the dump were examined for the risk of cancer and chronic diseases and compared with a cohort of persons living in similar rented flats nearby but outside the landfill site. Males who had lived for at least 5 yr in the dump area by the end of 1998 showed an excess of cancers of the pancreas and in skin, while there were no cases of these cancers among women. The standardized incidence ratio of cancer increased with years lived in the dump area. Colorectal cancer and skin cancer were observed entirely among persons with at least 5 yr of residence in the dump area, while excess in pancreatic cancer was attributable to residential histories of less than 2 yr. In addition, the incidence of asthma was significantly higher in the dump cohort than among all inhabitants of Helsinki.

The study subjects were rescue team staff members and police officers. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the level of exposure. Neurobehavioral tests were conducted, as were stabilometry, vibration perception thresholds, and psychometric tests. The exposed group was found to perform less well in the backward digit span test than a reference group. Except for the Benton visual retention test, effects on memory function were observed in the exposed group, but they were not statistically significant. None of the neurobehavioral test items showed any relation to possible hypoxia, and none of the parameters for the vibration perception thresholds had any relation to sarin exposure.

Each of the methods is described briefly. Agreement between the two methods across dose groups was assessed via mixed modeling, which accounted for the correlation between measurements made within the same pig. No significant difference was found for the three Pb dose groups or in the data from all three dose groups combined. However, X-ray fluorescence overestimated the atomic absorption spectrometry measurements by 2.6 mu g Pb/g.

AN - 14607962; 10615824 AB - The rodent uterotrophic assay is being validated currently as a regulatory screening assay for estrogenicity. The assay determines growth of the uterus gravimetrically in response to administration of a chemical to either sexually immature or ovariectomized rodents. Here, three issues are explored regarding the assay: whether surrogate markers are more sensitive than gravimetric analysis of the uterus; whether they are needed to predict the estrogenicity of chemicals; and whether they are reliable and suitable. Data are provided that do not support the need for surrogate markers, but a larger data base will be needed to consider the issue fully. Particularly for bisphenol A, the surrogate markers evaluated to date have not fulfilled their promise.

Foundations of an expert system AN - 18244775; 5304623 AB - This paper presents the foundations of an expert system to map landscape features related to salinity, based in a South American case study. Salinity distribution is mapped using an approach that integrates multi-temporal classification of remotely sensed data, physical and chemical soil properties and landform attributes. Change detection maps are derived in a post-classification change detection. These maps represent the changes in the distribution of salinity type and its severity, and are used as inputs to model the nature, magnitude and reliability of salinity-related changes that occurred in the area. Three rule-based expert systems using fuzzy sets and fuzzy linguistic rules to formalise the expert knowledge about the actual possibility of changes to occur are designed and implemented within a geographical information system (GIS). The systems use a fuzzy semantic import approach that enables the integration of multi-disciplinary knowledge in basic sets of fuzzy rules. The outputs of the fuzzy knowledge-based system are three maps representing 'likelihood of changes', 'nature of changes' and 'magnitude of changes'. These maps are then combined with landscape information and analysis of the spatial association among these variables, represented in different GIS layers, is undertaken to derive an exploratory hazard prediction model. The coefficient of areal correspondence is used to assess the degree of association among the variables and landscape positions. The sum of the coefficients of areal association between the variables considered represents evidence of salinity hazard within a specific landscape unit. Higher coefficient values indicate higher hazard to salinity processes. Because the classification model differentiates among saline and alkaline areas, it is possible to evaluate the nature of the salinity changes, i.e. whether an area may become more saline, alkaline, or saline-alkaline. This information is important for decision-makers and land planners, because different reclamation measures can be adopted according to the salinity type. The approach provides a fast way of assessing the likely extent of salinity at regional level, enabling the integration of a variety of data sources and knowledge. Moreover, this monitoring model can help to evaluate the effectiveness of salinity control and management action plans.

AN - 72195506; 11602180 AB - Prostatic stromal proliferation may be commonly associated with the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, we investigate the role of testosterone and protein kinase C in stimulating cultured stromal cell proliferation. Testosterone increased the uptake of [(3)H]-thymidine into the human cultured prostatic stromal cells, this was reduced by the protein kinase C inhibitors, bisindolylymaleimide (10 nM) and myristoylated protein kinase C inhibitor (mPKCi, 20 microM), but not by Gö 6983 (1 microM) or Gö 6976 (1 microM). Cells responded to the addition of the PKC activators phorbol 12,13 dibutyrate (PDB), phorbol 12,13 diacetate (PDA), 12-deoxyphorbol 13-acetate (DPA) and 12-deoxyphorbol 13-tetradecanoate (DPT) with proliferation (order of potency DPT> or =PDB>>PDA=DPA). The DPT-stimulated proliferative response was inhibited after cells were electroporated with PKCalpha antisense, but not mismatch oligonucleotides (8 microM). These results indicate that PKCalpha is involved in the proliferative response of human cultured prostatic stromal cells.

AN - 72190947; 11594022 AB - Assessment of differences in the response of three different populations of the tropical cladoceran Moinodaphnia macleayi to uranium exposure was evaluated. The populations tested included a laboratory stock (maintained for 10 years), a wild population collected from Bowerbird Billabong (an uncontaminated environment), and a population collected from Djalkmara Billabong (a relatively contaminated environment with elevated levels of uranium), located on the Ranger uranium mine site, Jabiru East, NT, Australia. Chronic and acute toxicity of uranium was determined for all three populations. The no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC; reproduction) and lowest observed-effect-concentration (LOEC; reproduction) for uranium ranged between 8-31 micrograms L-1 and 20-49 micrograms L-1, respectively, for all three populations. The 48 h EC50 (immobilization-lethality) for uranium ranged between 160-390 micrograms L-1 for all three populations. There was little difference in the response of the three populations of M. macleayi to acute and chronic uranium exposure, although the response of the laboratory population to chronic uranium exposure appeared more variable than the "wild" populations. There was no apparent tolerance in the population of M. macleayi obtained from Djalkmara Billabong when exposed to elevated levels of uranium. M. macleayi was significantly more sensitive to uranium exposure than other species previously tested. It was concluded that the sensitivity of the laboratory population (to uranium) is still representative of natural M. macleayi populations.

In December 1993, a patient presented with acute illness to the Memory Disorders Clinic of the Bryan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Duke University Medical Center with significant cognitive deficits 2 weeks after ceasing occupational laboratory exposure on the recommendation of the evaluating primary care physician. The clinical and exposure histories of this patient are presented. The comprehensive neurological examination findings are reviewed, with attention to the patient's neuropsychological evaluation. Six-week follow-up data illustrate the course of symptom resolution with exposure cessation. This case is presented in an effort to contribute to the gradually accruing evidence of potential central nervous system sequelae of Pfiesteria exposure. The case is discussed in the context of additional cases evaluated at Duke University Medical Center and the complicated scientific framework in which such evaluations proceed while definitive surrogate or biological markers are awaited.

AN - 21250868; 11702263 AB - Dinoflagellates can be classified both botanically and zoologically; however, they are typically put in the botanical division Pyrrhophyta. As a group they appear most related to the protistan ciliates and apicomplexans at the ultrastructure level. Within the Pyrrhophyta are both unarmored and armored forms of the dominant, motile flagellated stage. Unarmored dinoflagellates do not have thecal or wall plates arranged in specific series, whereas armored species have plates that vary in thickness but are specific in number and arrangement. In armored dinoflagellates, the plate pattern and tabulation is a diagnostic character at the family, subfamily, and even genus levels. In most cases, the molecular characterization of dinoflagellates confirms the taxonomy on the basis of external morphology; this has been demonstrated for several groups. Together, both genetic and morphological criteria are becoming increasingly important for the characterization, separation, and identification of dinoflagellates species. Pfiesteria and Pfiesteria-like species are thinly armored forms with motile dinospore stages characterized by their distinct plate formulae. Pfiesteria piscicida is the best-known member of the genus; however, there is at least one other species. Other genetically and morphologically related genera, now grouped under the common names of "Lucy," "Shepherd's crook," and cryptoperidiniopsoid, are being studied and described in separate works. All these other heterotrophic dinoflagellate groups, many of which are thought to be benign, co-occur in estuarine waters where Pfiesteria has been found.

AN - 21249600; 11702265 AB - Long-term monitoring of water quality, fish health, and plankton communities in susceptible bodies of water is crucial to identify the environmental factors that contribute to outbreaks of toxic Pfiesteria complex (TPC) species. In the aftermath of the 1997 toxic Pfiesteria outbreaks in North Carolina and Maryland, federal and several state agencies agreed that there was a need to standardize monitoring protocols. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration convened two workshops that brought together state, federal, and academic resource managers and scientific experts to a) seek consensus on responding to and monitoring potential toxic Pfiesteria outbreaks; b) recommend standard parameters and protocols to characterize water quality, fish health, and plankton at historical event sites and potentially susceptible sites; and c) discuss options for integrating monitoring data sets from different states into regional and national assessments. Workshop recommendations included the development of a three-tiered TPC monitoring strategy: Tier 1, rapid event response; Tier 2, comprehensive assessment; and Tier 3, routine monitoring. These tiers correspond to varying levels of water quality, fish health, and plankton monitoring frequency and intensity. Under the strategy, sites are prioritized, depending upon their history and susceptibility to TPC events, and assigned an appropriate level of monitoring activity. Participants also agreed upon a suite of water quality parameters that should be monitored. These recommendations provide guidance to state and federal agencies conducting rapid-response and assessment activities at sites of suspected toxic Pfiesteria outbreaks, as well as to states that are developing such monitoring programs for the first time.

To some extent, the intense focus on Pfiesteria has served to increase attention on HABs in general. Given the strong and continuing public, political, and research interests in Pfiesteria piscicida Steidinger & Burkholder and related organisms, there is a clear need for information and resources of many different types. This article provides information on Pfiesteria-related educational products and information resources available to the general public, health officials, and researchers. These resources are compiled into five categories: reports; website resources; state outreach and communication programs; fact sheets; and training manuals and documentaries. Over the last few years there has been rapid expansion in the amount of Pfiesteria-related information available, particularly on the Internet, and it is scattered among many different sources.

Typically, populations of M. privata maintain innocuous numbers in native forests, but outbreak populations can occur in plantations. Certain of the life history and behavioural traits of M. privata exacerbate population responses in simplified systems. Specifically, M. privata exhibits indiscriminate oviposition behaviour, for example, females oviposit upon leaves where conspecific egg clutches are already present. Combined with large egg clutches, this trait can lead to heavy exploitation of natal hosts. Complete defoliation of the natal tree necessitates that larvae disperse to undamaged hosts. In native forests, dispersing larvae would have a lower probability of locating a new host of suitable species and phenotype than they would in a plantation. Larval tolerance of a wide variety of species of Eucalyptus facilitates utilization of non-natal eucalypts. A lower rate of encounter between larvae and natural enemies is achieved by means of leaf shelters and autumnal seasonal activity. Good dispersion by gravid females from plantations with large moth populations ensures that nearby plantations will be located. Given these characteristics, continued outbreaks of M. privata are likely in monospecific eucalypt plantations, especially when management practices reduce populations of natural enemies and overall vegetational complexity. However, because outbreaks only arise in plantations, population fluctuations of M. privata cannot be considered 'self-driven'. Hence, this moth is not a true eruptive species in the manner of other geometrids such as the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata autumnata) from Europe or the hemlock looper (Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria) from North America, but rather a gradient outbreak insect.

AN - 1841136473; 11463400 AB - The new fumigant carbonyl sulfide offers an alternative to both methyl bromide and phosphine as a grain fumigant. Separate mathematical models for levels of kill, based on quantitative toxicological studies were developed for adults and eggs of the rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae (L.). These models suggest that fumigation exposure times for carbonyl sulfide will be a compromise between those of methyl bromide (typically 24h) and phosphine (7-10d) to achieve a very high kill of all developmental stages. S. oryzae eggs were more difficult to kill with carbonyl sulfide fumigation than the adults. At 30 degrees C, a 25gm(-3) fumigation killed 99.9% of adults in less than 1d, but took 4d to kill the same percentage of eggs. Models were generated to describe the mortality of adults at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 degrees C. From these models it is predicted that fumigation with carbonyl sulfide for 1-2d at 30gm(-3) will kill 99.9% of adults. Furthermore the models illustrate that fumigations with concentrations below 10gm(-3) are unlikely to kill all adult S. oryzae. Significant variation was observed in the response of eggs to the fumigant over the temperature range of 10 to 30 degrees C. Models were generated to describe the mortality of eggs at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 degrees C. As the temperature was reduced below 25 degrees C, the time taken to achieve an effective fumigation increased. Extrapolating from the models, a 25gm(-3) fumigation to control 99.9% of S. oryzae eggs will take 95h (4d) at 30 degrees C, 77h (3.2d) at 25 degrees C, 120h (5d) at 20 degrees C, 174h (7.5d) at 15 degrees C and about 290h (11d) at 10 degrees C. The role of temperature in the time taken to kill eggs with carbonyl sulfide cannot be ignored. In order to achieve the desired level of kill of all developmental stages, the fumigation rates need to be set according to the most difficult life stage to kill, in this instance, the egg stage.

Additionally, these areas are relatively pristine compared to the many other wetland environments in Australia, and around the world, that have been extensively altered by humans. However, as the remote northern coastline of Australia becomes more populated, environmental problems are beginning to emerge that highlight the need to manage the tropical wetland environments. Lack of information is currently considered to be a major factor restricting the effective management of many ecosystems and for the expansive wetlands of the Northern Territory, this is especially the case, as these areas are generally remote and inaccessible. Remote sensing is therefore an attractive technique for obtaining relevant information on variables such as land cover and vegetation status. In the current study, Landsat TM, SPOT (XS and PAN) and large-scale, true-colour aerial photography were evaluated for mapping the vegetation of a tropical freshwater swamp in Australia's Top End. Extensive ground truth data were obtained, using a helicopter survey method. Fourteen cover types were delineated from 1:15 000 air photos (enlarged to 1:5000 in an image processing system) using manual interpretation techniques, with 89% accuracy. This level of detail could not be extracted from any of the satellite image data sets, with only three broad land-cover types identified with accuracy above 80%. The Landsat TM and SPOT XS data provided similar results although superior accuracy was obtained from Landsat, where the additional spectral information appeared to compensate in part for the coarser spatial resolution. Two different classification algorithms produced similar results.

Radio-tracking from a helicopter was used to locate nests, and tracking from the air and boats was used to locate murrelets on the water. Twenty-three nests were found, with active incubation at 16, and active chick-rearing at 12. A minimum of 3 nests fledged chicks, 9 were failures, and 11 were unknown. Nests were at an elevation of 806 plus or minus 377 m and a distance of 39.2 plus or minus 23.2 km (range 12-102 km) from locations on the water. Birds spent an estimated 1.2 plus or minus 0.7 h per day commuting to and from nests (range 0.3-3.5 h per day). It was estimated that birds expended 3,883 plus or minus 2,296 kJ (range 1,200-10,144 kJ) over the breeding season when commuting to those nests, which was 5-41% of their estimated field metabolic-rate during the breeding season. There was no relationship between distance to nests and breeding success. Either Marbled Murrelets can accommodate that additional energy expenditure, or reduce commuting costs by modifying their foraging behavior. They may forage closer to nest sites when provisioning chicks, thereby reducing commuting costs with a payload, or alter nest visitation rates in relation to distance they nest from foraging areas. Nests further inland may also confer advantages that compensate for the added commuting, or birds might replenish body reserves at the end of the breeding season.

Prospective cohort studies of health effects associated with exposure to estuarine waters that may contain Pfiesteria spp. and related organisms are in progress in North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. The three studies recruited cohorts of 118-238 subjects who work or engaged in recreation in estuary waters. Baseline health and neuropsychological evaluations are conducted, and study subjects are followed prospectively for 2-5 years with periodic assessments of health and performance on a battery of neuropsychological tests. Health symptoms and estuary water exposure are recorded by telephone interviews or diaries every 1-2 weeks. Water quality information, including measurements of Pfiesteria spp., is collected in the areas where the subjects are working. Because it is not possible to measure individual exposure to Pfiesteria or a toxin produced by this organism, these studies examine surrogate exposure measures (e.g., time spent in estuary waters, in a fish kill area, or in waters where Pfiesteria DNA was detected by molecular amplification). Preliminary analyses of the first 2 years (1998-2000) of data indicate that none of the three ongoing cohorts have detected adverse health effects. However, there have not been any reported fish kills associated with Pfiesteria since the studies began, so it is possible that none of the study subjects have been exposed to toxin-producing Pfiesteria spp. JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Moe, CL AU - Turf, E AU - Oldach, D AU - Bell, P AU - Hutton, S AU - Savitz, D AU - Koltai, D AU - Turf, M AU - Ingsrisawang, L AU - Hart, R AU - Ball, J D AU - Stutts, M AU - McCarter, R AU - Wilson, L AD - Dept. of International Health, Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University, 1518 Clifton Rd., NE, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA, clmoe@sph.emory.edu Y1 - 2001/10// PY - 2001 DA - October 2001 SP - 781 EP - 786 PB - NIH, Government Printing Office VL - 109 SN - 0091-6765, 0091-6765 KW - USA, Maryland KW - USA, North Carolina KW - USA, Virginia KW - epidemiology KW - health effects KW - health effects, exposure to estuarine waters KW - man KW - ASFA 1: Biological Sciences & Living Resources; Health & Safety Science Abstracts; Toxicology Abstracts; Aqualine Abstracts; Water Resources Abstracts; Pollution Abstracts; ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution & Environmental Quality; Microbiology Abstracts C: Algology, Mycology & Protozoology KW - Estuarine organisms KW - Noxious organisms KW - Algal blooms KW - Central nervous system KW - Human diseases KW - Phytoplankton KW - Risks KW - ANW, USA, Virginia KW - Pfiesteria piscicida KW - Public health KW - Algae (Dinoflagellates) KW - Fish kill KW - Public Health KW - Dinoflagellates KW - Pfiesteria KW - ANW, USA, North Carolina KW - Estuaries KW - Brackish KW - ANW, USA, Maryland KW - Toxins KW - Epidemiology KW - Water Pollution Effects KW - Toxins (see also Toxic substances) KW - Public-health KW - Neurotoxins KW - X 24172:Plants KW - Q1 08226:Physiology, biochemistry, biophysics KW - K 03039:Algae KW - SW 3030:Effects of pollution KW - AQ 00008:Effects of Pollution KW - H 12000:Epidemiology and Public Health KW - Q5 08524:Public health, medicines, dangerous organisms KW - P 6000:TOXICOLOGY AND HEALTH UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/18364385?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%3Aaqualine&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=conference&rft.jtitle=Environmental+Health+Perspectives&rft.atitle=Cohort+studies+of+health+effects+among+people+exposed+to+estuarine+waters%3A+North+Carolina%2C+Virginia%2C+and+Maryland&rft.au=Moe%2C+CL%3BTurf%2C+E%3BOldach%2C+D%3BBell%2C+P%3BHutton%2C+S%3BSavitz%2C+D%3BKoltai%2C+D%3BTurf%2C+M%3BIngsrisawang%2C+L%3BHart%2C+R%3BBall%2C+J+D%3BStutts%2C+M%3BMcCarter%2C+R%3BWilson%2C+L&rft.aulast=Moe&rft.aufirst=CL&rft.date=2001-10-01&rft.volume=109&rft.issue=&rft.spage=781&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Environmental+Health+Perspectives&rft.issn=00916765&rft_id=info:doi/ LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Noxious organisms; Estuarine organisms; Central nervous system; Algal blooms; Fish kill; Human diseases; Estuaries; Phytoplankton; Neurotoxins; Risks; Public health; Toxins; Algae (Dinoflagellates); Epidemiology; Toxins (see also Toxic substances); Public-health; Public Health; Water Pollution Effects; Dinoflagellates; Pfiesteria piscicida; Pfiesteria; ANW, USA, North Carolina; ANW, USA, Maryland; ANW, USA, Virginia; Brackish ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Residential and recreational acquisition of possible estuary-associated syndrome: a new approach to successful diagnosis and treatment AN - 18362081; 5327491 AB - Evidence suggests that the estuarine dinoflagellates, Pfiesteria piscicida Steidinger & Burkholder and P. shumwayae Glasgow & Burkholder, members of the toxic Pfiesteria complex (TPC), may release one or more toxins that kill fish and adversely affect human health. In the current study we investigated the potential for undiagnosed cases of possible estuary-associated syndrome (PEAS), as termed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in a population that had residential and/or recreational exposure to TPC-affected estuaries, but that did not have direct contact with fish kills or lesioned fish. Age-adjusted visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) was significantly lower and the presence of PEAS-associated symptoms was much higher in the estuary cohort (n = 77) than in combined-control cohorts (n = 87), one without exposure to bodies of water (n = 53) and one with exposure to marine waters (n = 34). In the estuary cohort, 37 individuals met the CDC case definition for PEAS and had significantly lower VCS than non-PEAS cases. The VCS improved and symptoms abated after 2 weeks of treatment with cholestyramine. Cholestyramine, the original drug approved for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, has previously been reported to enhance the elimination rates of a variety of toxins, presumably by interruption of enterohepatic recirculation through toxin entrapment in its polymeric structure and/or anion-exchange process. Control studies showed that repeated VCS testing alone did not improve VCS scores and that cholestyramine treatment did not affect VCS in patients with elevated cholesterol levels. These results suggested that a) susceptible individuals may acquire PEAS through residential and/or recreational contact with TPC-affected estuaries in the absence of an active fish kill; b) VCS is a useful indicator in PEAS diagnosis and treatment monitoring; and c) PEAS can be effectively treated with cholestyramine. Because the study did not use population sampling techniques, the results do not indicate PEAS prevalence. Furthermore, definitive diagnosis of PEAS and association with TPC toxin(s) must await identification of, and a serologic test for, the putative TPC toxin(s).

In 1997, in the setting of Pfiesteria activity on the Pocomoke River in Maryland, difficulties with learning and memory were epidemiologically associated with high-level exposure to waterways in which the organism was known to be present. In the Maryland studies, neurocognitive function of affected persons returned to within normal ranges within a period of 3-6 months. Persons with the most severe neurocognitive deficits were significantly more likely to have skin lesions characterized on biopsy by evidence of a toxic/allergic inflammatory reaction. Acute high-level exposures to waterways where Pfiesteria has been identified have been linked with eye and respiratory irritation, headache, and gastrointestinal complaints. Recent data, collected using molecular techniques, suggest that the organism is present in multiple locations in the Chesapeake Bay environment; available data are insufficient to comment on the possible cumulative health impact of chronic low-level environmental exposure to Pfiesteria.

The two most important phenomena that determine the outcome of cell injury appear to be a) critical cell membrane damage, with associated fluid and ionic imbalances; and b) inability of mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, to restart ATP synthesis. In fish, skin ulcers can have many different etiologies, including infectious agents, toxins, physical causes, immunologic causes, and nutritional and metabolic perturbations. This article is concerned primarily with the possible pathways of disease involved in ulcerative lesions of fish. In particular, the high prevalence of ulcerative lesions in Atlantic menhaden found along the mid-Atlantic coast, especially in North Carolina estuarine waters, has received much recent attention. These ulcerative lesions are likely to be initiated by a series of factors that lead ultimately to a breach of the normal barrier function of the skin. Bioassays that attempt to define the role of individual etiologic agents such as fungi (oomycetes) or putative Pfiesteria toxin(s) should recognize this multiplicity of factors and should include appropriate quality control measures for water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrogenous wastes, etc.) as well as bacterial and other contaminants that may confound bioassay results and their interpretation. Consideration of these factors along with the whole animal in the context of its environment can only advance the science, perhaps provide clues to the causative pathways of skin ulcers in fish, and give us keener insight into the health of the aquatic environment.

It produces a bioactive substance that leads to cytotoxicity of GH sub(4)C sub(1) rat pituitary cells. Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acting on P2X sub(7) purinergic receptors induces the formation of a nonselective cation channel, causing elevation of the cytosolic free calcium followed by a characteristic permeabilization of the cell to progressively larger ions and subsequent cell lysis. We investigated whether GH sub(4)C sub(1) rat pituitary cells express functional P2X sub(7) receptors, and if so, are they activated by a bioactive substance isolated from toxic P. piscicida cultures. We tested the selective agonist 2'-3'-O-(benzoyl-4-benzoyl)-ATP (BzATP) and antagonists piridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2'-4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS) and oxidized-ATP (oxATP) using elevated cytosolic free calcium in Fura-2 loaded cells, and induced permeability of these cells to the fluorescent dye YO-PRO-1 as end points. We demonstrated that in GH sub(4)C sub(1) cells, BzATP induces both the elevation of cytosolic free calcium and the permeabilization of the cell membrane. ATP-induced membrane permeabilization was inhibited by PPADS reversibly and by oxATP irreversibly. The putative Pfiesteria toxin (pPfTx) also elevated cytosolic free calcium in Fura-2 in GH sub(4)C sub(1) cells and increased the permeability to YO-PRO-1 in a manner inhibited fully by oxATP. This study indicates that GH sub(4)C sub(1) cells express a purinoceptor with characteristics consistent with the P2X sub(7) subtype, and that pPfTx mimics the kinetics of cell permeabilization by ATP.

Despite these research efforts, the extent of human exposure and the degree of human illness directly associated with Pfiesteria is still in the process of being defined. Unfortunately, during this same time Pfiesteria has also stimulated media coverage that in some instances jumped ahead of the science to conclude that Pfiesteria presents a widespread threat to human health. Political and economic forces also came into play when the tourism and seafood industries were adversely impacted by rumors of toxin-laden water in estuaries along the east coast of the United States. Amid this climate of evolving science and public concern, Pfiesteria has emerged as a highly controversial public health issue. In October 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored the National Conference on Pfiesteria: From Biology to Public Health to bring together Pfiesteria researchers from many disparate disciplines. The goal of this meeting was to describe the state of the science and identify directions for future research. In preparation for the conference an expert peer-review panel was commissioned to review the existing literature and identify research gaps; the summary of their review is published in this monograph. During the meeting primary Pfiesteria researchers presented previously unpublished results. The majority of those presentations are included as peer-reviewed articles in this monograph. The discussion portion of the conference focused upon researcher-identified research gaps. This article details the discussion segments of the conference and makes reference to the presentations as it describes emerging areas of Pfiesteria research.

Four distinct bioassay systems were used to monitor bioactivity of the P. piscicida extracts, including a high throughput cell cytotoxicity assay and a reporter gene assay as well as assays using brine shrimp and fish. Using these bioassays to guide fractionation, we have isolated two distinct, active fractions from Pfiesteria culture medium and cell mass extracts on the basis of their solubility characteristics. We have identified and characterized a bioactive lipophilic substance from Pfiesteria-derived extracts as di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, a commonly used plasticizer. The source of this typically man-made substance has been identified as originating from Instant Ocean (Aquarium Systems, Mentor, OH, USA), a commercially available seawater salt mixture used to prepare our mass culture growth medium. We have developed chromatographic methodology to isolate a bioactive polar compound isolated from extracts of Pfiesteria culture and presently report the characterization of the activity of this substance. The molecular structural analysis of the polar active component(s) using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is currently under way.

These species resemble P. piscicida Steidinger & Burkholder and also have a) strong attraction to fresh fish tissues and excreta, b) toxic activity stimulated by live fish, and c) production of toxin that can cause fish death and disease. Amoeboid stages were verified in 1992-1997 by our laboratory (various stages from toxic cultures) and that of K. Steidinger and co-workers (filose amoebae in nontoxic cultures), and in 2000 by H. Marshall and co-workers (various stages from toxic cultures), from clonal Pfiesteria spp. cultures, using species-specific polymerase chain reaction-based molecular probes with cross-confirmation by an independent specialist. Data were provided from tests of the hypothesis that Pfiesteria strains differ in response to fresh fish mucus and excreta, algal prey, and inorganic nutrient (N, P) enrichment, depending on functional type or toxicity status. There are three functional types: TOX-A, in actively toxic, fish-killing mode; TOX-B, temporarily nontoxic, without access to live fish for days to weeks, but capable of toxic activity if fish are added; and NON-IND, noninducible with negligible toxicity in the presence of live fish. NON-IND Pfiesteria attained highest zoospore production on algal prey without or without inorganic nitrogen or inorganic phosphorus enrichment. TOX-B Pfiesteria was intermediate and TOX-A was lowest in zoospore production on algal prey with or without nutrients. TOX-A Pfiesteria spp. showed strong behavioral attraction to fresh fish mucus and excreta in short-term trials, with intermediate attraction of TOX-B zoospores and relatively low attraction of NON-IND cultures when normalized for cell density. The data for these clones indicated a potentially common predatory behavioral response, although differing in intensity distinct from a toxicity effect, in attack of fish prey. The data also demonstrated that functional types of Pfiesteria spp. show distinct differences in response to fish, algal prey, and inorganic nutrient enrichment. Collectively, the experiments indicate that NON-IND strains should not be used in research to gain insights about environmental controls on toxic strains of Pfiesteria spp. JF - Environmental Health Perspectives AU - Burkholder, JAM AU - Glasgow, H B AU - Deamer-Melia, N J AU - Springer, J AU - Parrow, M W AU - Zhang, Cheng AU - Cancellieri, P J AD - Center for Applied Aquatic Ecology, North Carolina State University, 620 Hutton St., Suite 104, Raleigh, NC 27606, USA, joann_burkholder@ncsu.edu Y1 - 2001/10// PY - 2001 DA - October 2001 SP - 667 EP - 679 PB - NIH, Government Printing Office VL - 109 SN - 0091-6765, 0091-6765 KW - Amoeboid stages KW - Toxicology Abstracts; ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution & Environmental Quality; ASFA 1: Biological Sciences & Living Resources; Microbiology Abstracts C: Algology, Mycology & Protozoology KW - Food organisms KW - Life cycle KW - Nutrients KW - Chemotaxis KW - Pfiesteria piscicida KW - Pisces KW - ANW, USA KW - Chemical stimuli KW - Algae KW - Diets KW - Biological poisons KW - Pfiesteria shumwayae KW - Brackish KW - Developmental stages KW - Strains KW - Toxins KW - Zoospores KW - Reviews KW - Taxonomy KW - Nutrients (mineral) KW - Neurotoxins KW - Spores KW - X 24172:Plants KW - Q5 08524:Public health, medicines, dangerous organisms KW - Q1 08223:Taxonomy and morphology KW - K 03001:Algae UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/18358438?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%3Aasfaaquaticpollution&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=conference&rft.jtitle=Environmental+Health+Perspectives&rft.atitle=Species+of+the+toxic+Pfiesteria+complex%2C+and+the+importance+of+functional+type+in+data+interpretation&rft.au=Burkholder%2C+JAM%3BGlasgow%2C+H+B%3BDeamer-Melia%2C+N+J%3BSpringer%2C+J%3BParrow%2C+M+W%3BZhang%2C+Cheng%3BCancellieri%2C+P+J&rft.aulast=Burkholder&rft.aufirst=JAM&rft.date=2001-10-01&rft.volume=109&rft.issue=&rft.spage=667&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Environmental+Health+Perspectives&rft.issn=00916765&rft_id=info:doi/ LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Diets; Food organisms; Chemical stimuli; Biological poisons; Developmental stages; Life cycle; Taxonomy; Nutrients (mineral); Strains; Spores; Neurotoxins; Chemotaxis; Zoospores; Reviews; Nutrients; Toxins; Pisces; Pfiesteria shumwayae; Pfiesteria piscicida; Algae; ANW, USA; Brackish ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Variability within Clones of Potato cv. Russet Burbank to Infection and Severity of Common Scab Disease of Potato AN - 18257582; 5317065 AB - Significant variability in the level of resistance to common scab disease (to both disease incidence - tuber surface area affected, and severity - lesion depth) within potato (Solanum tuberosum) cv. Russet Burbank clonal lines and other selected processing cultivars was shown. Across two trials, cvs. Russet Nugget and Shepody and Russet Burbank clone British Columbia were consistently grouped within the cluster of least disease incidence whereas cv. Russet Norkotah and Vancouver unit four were grouped within the cluster showing greatest disease incidence. Russet Nugget and British Columbia were also consistently grouped within the cluster showing least disease severity, whereas Shepody and Russet Burbank clone Starks were grouped within the cluster with greatest severity scores. For some clones, consistency of rating across trials was not always apparent. Of note for the Tasmanian industry, there were differences within the five commercial Vancouver clonal units used interchangeably, with unit 4 showing significantly greater disease severity and incidence than some of the other units. However the extent of increased disease never exceeded 1.75 times the best of the other Vancouver units and the relevance of these results to the relative field performance of unit 4 remains to be tested.

AN - 18238013; 5302470 AB - Presently in Australia there are no mandatory drinking water standards. Here we argue that the risk associated with drinking water in Australia is of a dimension discernible to warrant mandatory regulations. The catchments that supply the major metropolitan areas of Sydney and Adelaide, and the groundwater for the city of Perth have been seriously compromised by the encroachment of development and activities. Melbourne in the past has generally relied on a closed catchment reservoir system; however, population growth in the near future will sequester the full online operation of additional reservoirs, which have multiple land use catchments. In addition to the current landscape circumstances, the management of a water system in itself proposes significant issues of risk. Two critical assumptions that are unique to a mass medium substance like water and dramatically alter the appraisal of risk are: (1) very large numbers of people are potentially exposed, and (2) small changes in contaminant levels may have adverse population outcomes. It is also known that water reticulation systems frequently suffer from contamination problems caused solely by the distribution system, and optimal management of these facilities would best be served by statutory protected transparency and dedicated water quality programs. In 1979, an Australian parliamentary committee stated that an "uncontaminated water supply is a "basic requirement for the obtainment of good health; however, recent surveys of Australian water systems show many are not meeting basic water quality criteria, and many communities are not receiving regular monitoring or testing as required by government authorized Australian drinking water guidelines. Exacerbating this situation is the lack of reporting and statutory endorsed standardized procedures to ensure information is properly and promptly recorded and that data are centralized for maximum benefit. The evaluation of risk associated with drinking water in Australia is often hampered by inadequate or incomplete data. Lastly, regional and rural water supplies face a vast array of contemporary problems and experiences that include widespread usage of pesticides and agricultural chemicals. In recent years, the Darling River has experienced the worst algal bloom known to man, and this river system not only supplies a number of regional and rural towns with water, but eventually connects with the River Murray, which supplies the State of South Australia with approximately 50% of its water requirements.

Xanthi) and banana (Musa spp. cv. Bluggoe). Transient assays indicated that all the S1- and S2-derived promoters were active and had greater expression in tobacco than banana. In stably transformed tobacco and banana, the S1- and S2-derived promoters directed expression in root meristems and trichomes. The S1 promoter was also expressed in the vascular tissue of leaves and roots, while both the S1 and S2 promoters were active in tobacco leaf trichomes and pollen. In banana, expression was significantly enhanced by the inclusion of the maize polyubiquitin intron 3 to the promoter. Interestingly, there was some evidence to indicate that S1 promoter fragments containing part of the open reading frame at the 5 end of the promoter had enhanced activity, suggesting that promoter elements may not be confined to the non-coding region.

Hence we studied the characteristics of plankton and nutrient dynamics in water containing >400 mg CaCO sub(3) l super(-1)in pond and microcosm systems. The field experiment was conducted in eight earthen ponds involving two nutrient ratios (N:P = 1:1 and 20:1) with or without crayfish. Fertilisation significantly increased concentrations of NO sub(2)-N and NO sub(3)-N, but soluble reactive phosphorus was depleted to the level prior to fertilisation within 24 h. The laboratory test showed that after 6 h of fertilisation, 45% phosphorus was precipitated by calcium, 30% phosphorus was assimilated by phytoplankton and only 25% phosphorus remained in water column. The phytoplankton abundance in hardwater ponds was regulated by the abundance of zooplankton population rather than by either crayfish or fertilisation. The presence of crayfish only increased the concentration of total phosphorus. This study suggests that when phytoplankton production is required in crayfish ponds the maintenance of phytoplankton abundance will depend on the effective control of zooplankton rather than fertilisation. Due to the rapid precipitation of phosphorus by calcium in hard water ponds, more frequent phosphorus fertilisation is needed to enhance primary productivity.

Only four resistance phenotypes were common (occurring at an overall frequency of > 5%) and pathogen populations were similarly variable, with five out of 44 virulence phenotypes classified as common. 3 Resistance and virulence structure were related to the occurrence of two distinct ecotypes of the host. Hill populations were consistently more resistant than those in bogs and their pathogen populations more virulent. Allozyme analysis showed a high degree of genetic differentiation between host ecotypes, with fixed allelic differences. Host and pathogen phenotypes were non-randomly distributed between bog and hill sites. 4 When ecotypic differences were factored out, there was clear evidence of a non-random spatial distribution of resistance, with nearby populations being more likely to share resistance phenotypes, suggesting at least weak isolation by distance. While still apparent, this effect was much less noticeable in the pathogen populations, indicating significant differences in the spatial scale of dispersal of host and pathogen.

Following infection of recipient V. cholerae cells by CTX Phi , the phage genome either integrates into the host chromosome at a specific attachment site (attRS) or exists as a replicative-form (RF) plasmid. We infected naturally occurring attRS-negative nontoxigenic V. cholerae or attenuated (CTX super(-) attRS negative) derivatives of wild-type toxigenic strains with CTX Phi and examined the diarrheagenic potential of the strains carrying the RF of the CTX Phi genome using the adult rabbit diarrhea model. Under laboratory conditions, strains carrying the RF of CTX Phi produced more CT than corresponding lysogens as assayed by a G sub(M1)-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by fluid accumulation in ligated ileal loops of rabbits. However, when tested for diarrhea in rabbits, the attRS-negative strains (which carried the CTX Phi genome as the RF) were either negative or produced mild diarrhea, whereas the attRS-positive strains with integrated CTX Phi produced severe fatal diarrhea. Analysis of the strains after intestinal passage showed that the attRS-negative strains lost the phage genome at approximately a fivefold higher frequency than under in vitro conditions, and 75 to 90% of cells recovered from challenged rabbits after 24 h were CT negative. These results suggested that strains carrying the RF of CTX Phi are unable to cause severe disease due to rapid loss of the phage in vivo, and the gastrointestinal environment thus provides selection of toxigenic strains with an integrated CTX Phi genome. These results may have implications for the development of live V. cholerae vaccine candidates impaired in chromosomal integration of CTX Phi . These findings may also contribute to understanding of the etiology of diarrhea occasionally associated with nontoxigenic V. cholerae strains.

The test result revealed that averagepollutant concentrations of the test motorcycles in terms of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide were 8.38, 16.69 and 0.04 g km super(-1), respectively. The finding also indicated that two-stroke motorcycles emitted 1.5 and 5 times more carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission, respectively perkilometer driven than do four-stroke motorcycles. Four air sampling stations were strategically established to evaluate the air pollution problems in Bangkok arising from vehicle exhaust emission. Investigation was carried out to determine the correlation between average air pollutant concentration with different traffic configuration in each traffic zone of Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMA) during peak/non peak hours, day/night times and weekday/weekend. The average concentrationsof PM sub(10) particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide in Bangkok street air were found tobe 84.33 kg m super(-3) (24 hr ave.), 7.05 mg m super(-3) (8 hr ave.), 56.74 kg m super(-3) (1 hr ave.) and 9.60 kg m super(-3) (24 hr ave.), respectively.

These actions were taken in the wake of toxic outbreaks of Pfiesteria piscicida Steidinger & Burkholder in Maryland during 1997 and previous outbreaks in North Carolina. The monitoring programs have two major purposes. The first, rapid response, is to ensure public safety by responding immediately to conditions that may indicate the presence of Pfiesteria or related organisms in a toxic state. The second, comprehensive assessment, is to provide a more complete understanding of where Pfiesteria-like organisms may become a threat, to understand what factors may stimulate their growth and toxicity, and to evaluate the impacts of these organisms upon fish and other aquatic life. In states where human health studies are being conducted, the data from both types of monitoring are used to provide information on environmental exposure. The three elements included in each monitoring program are identification of Pfiesteria-like organisms, water quality measurements, and assessments of fish health. Identification of Pfiesteria-like organisms is a particularly difficult element of the monitoring programs, as these small species cannot be definitively identified using light microscopy; newly applied molecular techniques, however, are starting to provide alternatives to traditional methods. State monitoring programs also offer many opportunities for collaborations with research initiatives targeting both environmental and human health issues related to Pfiesteria-like organisms.

In each case, the subject was exposed to some form of violence that precipitated asthma exacerbations. Although each of the patients was vulnerable to a variety of asthma triggers, exposure to violent events appeared to be a common precipitant of asthma symptoms. This association is discussed in terms of the effects of psychological stress on health and the amelioration of resources needed to manage and cope with chronic asthma by exposure to violence.

AN - 14599048; 10615587 AB - Data from a study conducted on older adults living in Baltimore, MD, and additional data collected in Baltimore for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and children were used to examine the role of ambient ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide as confounders of ambient PM sub(2.5) exposures. For the additional individuals, the subjects were monitored for 12 consecutive days in each of one or two seasons. Four sets of associations were examined to assess the relationship between PM sub(2.5) and its copollutants, with analyses of the associations conducted using univariate time-series regression analysis assuming a first-order autoregressive structure for the error. Ambient PM sub(2.5) concentrations were associated strongly with corresponding ambient concentrations of several gaseous copollutants, but the strength and direction of the associations differed by season. With the exception of PM sub(2.5), however, ambient pollutant concentrations were weak indicators of their respective personal exposures. The weak associations among personal PM sub(2.5), O sub(3), NO sub(2), and SO sub(2), together with the strong personal-ambient associations for PM sub(2.5), provided evidence that the observed PM sub(2.5)-associated health effects were not due to confounding by the gaseous pollutants, at least for individuals with similar exposure profiles.

An olfactory experiment was used to obtain sETS odor thresholds, and full-body exposures were conducted to assess nasal and eye irritation, as well as breathing patterns. The odor thresholds showed that a median odor sensation was perceived at very low concentrations equivalent to a sETS-PM sub(2.5) concentration of approximately 0.61.4 mu g/m super(3). The determined odor threshold concentrations were up to three or more orders of magnitude lower than those reported in field settings. Observed concentrations facilitating eye, nasal, and throat irritations corresponded to an estimated sETS-PM sub(2.5) concentration of about 4.4 mu g/m super(3).

Lead levels and Fe status in blood were also measured to examine the possible role of Fe deficiency in higher blood Pb levels. Analysis of the data revealed that children with Fe deficiency had higher blood Pb levels than children with normal Fe levels, and the largest difference was found for children living in the most contaminated environments. The relationship of Fe status and blood Pb varied within ethnic groups, with Asian children having an apparently paradoxical association of sufficient Fe status and higher blood Pb.

The bioassays measured tumor necrosis factor (TNF) released by rat alveolar macrophages after exposures to indoor and outdoor particles. Bioassays were also performed using macrophages that were primed with lipopolysaccharides before particle exposures. The rat alveolar macrophages treated with either indoor or outdoor PM sub(2.5) released significant amounts of TNF compared to controls, and a comparison of paired indoor/outdoor data demonstrated that significantly greater TNF releases were elicited by indoor PM sub(2.5) samples than by the corresponding outdoor samples. The significance of the difference increased slightly when the data were normalized for endotoxin concentration. The mean endotoxin-normalized TNF response attributable to particles of indoor origin was more than four times higher than the corresponding estimate for particles of ambient origin.

The cities included Barcelona, Bilbao, Castellon, Gijon, Oviedo, Valencia, Vitoria, and Zaragoza. The data examined covered the period 199096. The association was investigated using Poisson regression in a generalized additive model. The doseresponse relationship between airborne particles and daily deaths was found to be linear, at least at low to moderate concentrations, and the association was insensitive to weather and season. The results for SO sub(2), however, were less supportive of a causal association.

Two genetic categories encoding enzymes implicated in As metabolism were also examined. Results revealed that the reactive oxidant level was correlated significantly with As concentration in whole blood, and the relationship did not change substantially when age and antioxidant capacity were included in the analysis. A significant inverse correlation was noted between plasma antioxidant capacity and As concentration in whole blood, and no associations were found between plasma antioxidant capacity and lifestyle characteristics, such as cigarette smoking and alcohol and tea consumption. In terms of the genetic indicators, a significant positive association was observed between plasma antioxidant capacity and the ratio of monomethylarsonic acid to arsenite combined with arsenate in urine. The overall findings suggested that As was a significant environmental toxicant, increasing the risk of oxidative stress in exposed individuals.

The Mexican and Canadian cities represented high and low ambient particle levels, respectively. None of the subjects had known occupational dust exposure. Significantly higher concentrations of retained particles were found in tissue samples from Mexico City than in those from Vancouver, with geometric mean total particle concentrations of 2055 10 super(6) and 279 10 super(6) particles/g dry lung, respectively. In the Mexico City samples, higher particle concentrations were found for every particle type examined. In these samples, a large number of aluminum silicate aggregates was identified that were never observed in Vancouver lungs.

Subsequently, field efforts over the past 10 yr toward assessing fish kills are summarized, which have been related to low oxygen stress, Pfiesteria, and miscellaneous causes such as pesticide spills. The 1998 toxic Pfiesteria outbreak in North Carolina, the state that has sustained approximately 98% of all known toxic Pfiesteria outbreaks, is examined in greater detail, as is the diagnosis of toxic Pfiesteria-related fish kills in Chesapeake Bay. Recommendations are proposed for further research in this area, noting the need for caution in assessing primary causality of estuarine fish kills, whether related to toxic Pfiesteria or to other factors.

A standardized fish bioassay procedure is outlined that was developed in 1991 and has been used and refined by North Carolina State University co-authors throughout the past decade. Five steps are included: extensive analysis of water during in-progress fish-kill events for physical, chemical, and biological variables; presumptive counting of Pfiesteria-like zoospore densities; conduct a first set of fish bioassays; clone the Pfiesteria-like organisms associated with fish death; and conduct a second set of fish bioassays using the cloned toxic Pfiesteria-like dinoflagellate species. Ranges of environmental conditions characterizing the test samples are provided, and recommendations are proposed on quality control/assurance steps to improve interlaboratory consistency in characterizing the test samples.

To better understand the association between Pfiesteria spp. and fish lesions, ulcerative mycosis was compared and contrasted in wild menhaden with pfiesteriosis in laboratory-exposed fish. 38-L format biotoxicity assays were conducted using tilapia. During the study, fish were monitored daily for signs of morbidity, lesions, and mortality, and cell densities of P. shumwayae were determined. Results revealed that the pathological responses associated with ulcerative mycosis in menhaden differed fundamentally from those occurring in acute pfiesteriosis of laboratory-exposed fish. While the menhaden ulcers were infectious and developed over an extended period, Pfiesteria exposure of tilapia resulted in rapid development of acute widespread erosion of the epidermis, followed quickly by death. In the wild, all menhaden ulcers harbored a deeply invasive, highly pathogenic fungus, and infection always elicited severe myonecrosis and intense granulomatous myositis. The findings indicated that the characteristic ulcerous lesions in menhaden were probably not reliable indicators of local, current Pfiesteria activity, even when Pfiesteria spp. were verified ultimately to play an early initiating role in their development.

Geographic information system methods were used to summarize agricultural pesticide use by census-block group, and the number of children living in the upper tenth percentile of pesticide use density was estimated. Results revealed that the relative ranking of pesticide use changed significantly when pounds were adjusted by the cancer hazard factors. The top pesticides in the state ranged by hazard-adjusted use were propargite, methyl bromide, and trifluralin. The findings suggested that hundreds of thousands of children living in areas with high agricultural use had a greater potential for exposure than their more urban counterparts. Developmental or reproductive toxicants had the most children, followed by organophosphates and organochlorides. The variation in the number of children living in the block groups demonstrated that different populations were exposed potentially for each group and individual pesticide.

Bone resorption was estimated by examining 24-h urinary N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx), which are considered a sensitive and specific marker of bone resorption. Whole-blood samples were obtained and examined for Pb, and bone Pb was measured in each subject's mid-tibia shaft and patella. Lead measures in blood and bone were correlated moderately with the creatinine clearance rate-adjusted urinary Pb, and NTx was associated marginally with adjusted urinary Pb. The magnitude of the relationship of bone Pb to urinary Pb diminished after adjustment for blood Pb, but the pattern of the relationships of patella Pb and tibia Pb to urinary Pb across NTx tertiles remained unchanged. The findings suggested that bone resorption modified the release of Pb from bone and that bone, independent of blood, was a source of Pb in plasma among the middle-aged and elderly men because Pb excreted in urine was presumed to be derived from plasma, and whole-blood Pb levels did not directly predict plasma Pb levels.

Data are summarized from a number of experiments that have considered the effects of carrageenan in animals. The characteristics of carrageenan are described, and experimental results are presented that show the occurrence of intestinal lesions after exposure to the compound, the promotion of neoplasia, significant ulceration of the cecum and/or large intestine after oral exposure, the resemblance between ulcerative lesions and accompanying inflammatory changes induced by carrageenan, the possible role of intestinal bacteria in the mechanism of action of carrageenan, and extra-intestinal manifestations of carrageenan exposure. The extent of human exposure to carrageenan is discussed briefly.

In addition, effects were examined on estrogen receptor-mediated vitellogenin expression in cultured primary hepatocytes of male carp. The herbicides included simazine, atrazine, and propazine, as well as their dealkylated and hydroxylated metabolites, which were used at various exposure concentrations. Results showed that all three triazine herbicides and two shared metabolites, atrazine-desisopropyl and atrazine-desethyl, were able to induce aromatase activity in H295R cells, but the fully dealkylated metabolite, atrazine desethyl-desisopropyl, and the hydroxylated metabolites of atrazine were not active. The compounds that induced aromatase activity in H295R cells also induced the activity in JEG-3 cells, although with lesser efficacy, while MCF-7 cells did not exhibit aromatase activity. Exposure of male carp hepatocytes to various concentrations of the triazines or their metabolites did not significantly induce vitellogenin production.

The researchers first developed a number of working definitions for the illness, exposure, and symptoms, which were compiled under the name, Possible Estuary-Associated Syndrome (PEAS). Each state participating in the program has established a toll-free telephone hotline to provide information about Pfiesteria spp., and if a caller reports a symptom and exposure to estuarine water, a telephone questionnaire is administered to determine if the caller meets symptom criteria for PEAS. When the symptoms are met, the caller is assisted in making appointments with medical specialists. Initial results are summarized from administration of the program from June 1998 through June 2001. Of 66 people who had possible exposure to estuarine waters, five were been identified as meeting PEAS criteria.

Report for the National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention AN - 14594679; 10614374 AB - The Pfiesteria organism, which was first identified and named in the early 1990s, exhibits multiple forms, transforming itself into a toxin-producing dinoflagellate in the presence of fish. Its toxin appears to destroy the integrity of the skin of fish, allowing the organism to feed. A review is provided of the ecophysiology of Pfiesteria, looking at P. piscicida relative to other dinoflagellates and harmful algal blooms, the problem of identification, its life cycle, and its distribution on the estuarine environment. The effects of Pfiesteria on marine organisms are then discussed, citing data derived from observed effects on fish in the wild and in laboratory exposures. Methods for detecting the organism are outlined, including the use of light microscopy, electron microscopy, genetic diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction, fluorescent in situ hybridization, the heteroduplex mobility/single-strand conformational polymorphism assay, and methods for detecting Pfiesteria toxin, including the modified fish bioassay, cellular assays, cytotoxicity assays, and the reporter gene assay.

AN - 72198391; 11601901 AB - Individual mononegavirus genes terminate with a short cis-acting element, the gene-end (GE) signal, that directs polyadenylation and termination and might also influence the efficiency of reinitiation at the next downstream gene. The 12-13 nucleotide (nt) GE signals of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) consist of a conserved pentanucleotide (3'-UCAAU, negative sense), followed by a 3-nt middle region that is AU-rich but otherwise not conserved, followed by a 4- or 5-nt poly(U) region that is thought to generate the poly(A) tail of the encoded mRNA by reiterative copying. Most of the naturally occurring differences in the GE signals of the various RSV genes occur in the "middle" and "poly(U)" regions. We mutated a copy of the fusion protein (F) GE signal that was positioned at the end of the promoter-proximal gene of a tricistronic minigenome and evaluated the effect of these mutations on RSV transcription in a plasmid-initiated, intracellular assay. Mutations confirmed the importance of the middle region's AU-rich nature and 3-nt length, and the poly(U) tract's 4-nt minimum functional length, with maximal termination efficiency observed at five U residues. Nt assignments other than U at position 13 also affected the efficiency of termination, showing that this position is part of the functional 13-nt GE signal. These results indicate that differences in nt assignments in the middle and poly(U) regions of the GE signal, which occur frequently in nature, affect the efficiency of termination. Unexpectedly, the ability of certain mutations to inhibit termination was completely dependent on coexpression of the M2-1 protein, and in many other cases the inhibitory effect of the mutation was greatly enhanced in the presence of M2-1. Thus, M2-1 appears to have the effect of altering the polymerase such that it ignores suboptimal GE signals. Interestingly, certain mutations that greatly decreased the efficiency of termination in the absence of M2-1 did not have much effect on the expression of the second gene, implying that correct termination and/or polyadenylation at the upstream gene is not obligatory for reinitiation at the next downstream gene.

This figure is based on projected increases in demand as well as the need to assure market stability and to replace aging plants and equipment. To date, more than a dozen plants have been proposed for New York City by a number of energy generators which, if taken together, would add 5,500 MW of capacity. At this time, no proposed generating facilities are under construction. If an electricity crisis is to be averted, at least some portion of the proposed 5,500 MW of generation capacity must be made available over the next five years. This cannot occur unless New York State's siting process is accelerated considerably. JF - New York Construction News AU - Richard T. Anderson President, New York Building Congress Inc.

Conflict and distrust between these groups is often a result of a lack of public involvement in decision making on safety related matters. Such concerns also emerge from differences in professional training, authority and experience between the groups. Fire services internationally, carryout fire safety assessments on behalf of communities. This assessment role is unusual in that unlike conventional approaches to regulatory safety assessment, fire fighters are direct end-users of their own regulatory assessment and closer to the people they protect. This paper discusses how fire services are beginning to seek closer links with communities by defining clear regulatory frameworks for conventional safety assessments and conceptual frameworks that allow a redefinition of their role towards establishing partnerships with communities to promote sustained safety.

AN - 71126604; 11522192 AB - During research dives in Indonesia (Sulawesi and Bali), we filmed a distinctive long-armed octopus, which is new to science. Diving over 24 h periods revealed that the 'mimic octopus' emerges during daylight hours to forage on sand substrates in full view of pelagic fish predators. We observed nine individuals of this species displaying a repertoire of postures and body patterns, several of which are clearly impersonations of venomous animals co-occurring in this habitat. This 'dynamic mimicry' avoids the genetic constraints that may limit the diversity of genetically polymorphic mimics but has the same effect of decreasing the frequency with which predators encounter particular mimics. Additionally, our observations suggest that the octopus makes decisions about the most appropriate form of mimicry to use, allowing it to enhance further the benefits of mimicking toxic models by employing mimicry according to the nature of perceived threats.

Cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy (Co-Cr-Mo, ASTM F-75) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F-136) beads (70 mu m) were incubated in agitated human serum at 37 degree C to simulate naturally occurring metal implant alloy degradation processes. Particulate free serum samples that had been incubated with metal were then separated into molecular weight based fractions. The amounts of soluble Cr and Ti within each serum fraction were measured and correlated with lymphocyte proliferation response to the individual serum fractions. Lymphocytes from each subject were cultured with 11 autologous molecular weight based serum fractions either with or without added metal. Two molecular weight ranges of human serum proteins were associated with the binding of Cr and Ti from Co-Cr-Mo and Ti implant alloy degradation (at <30 and 180-250 kDa). High molecular weight serum proteins ( similar to 180 kDa) demonstrated greater lymphocyte reactivity when complexed with Cr alloy and Ti alloy than low (5-30 kDa) and midrange (30-77 kDa) serum proteins. When the amount of lymphocyte stimulation was normalized to both the moles of metal and the moles of protein within each fraction (metal-protein complex reactivity index), Cr from Co-Cr-Mo alloy degradation demonstrated approximately 10-fold greater reactivity than Ti in the higher molecular weight serum proteins ( similar to 180 kDa). This in vitro study demonstrated a lymphocyte proliferative response to both Co-Cr-Mo and Ti alloy metalloprotein degradation products. This response was greatest when the metals were complexed with high molecular weight proteins, and with metal-protein complexes formed from Co-Cr-Mo alloy degradation.

The claimpatent system, whereby a prospector locates and claims an area believed to contain a valuable mineral and which has been set up under the auspices of the 1982 General Mining Law, is outlined. The 1920 Mineral Leasing Act removed selected minerals from the claimpatent system. Critics argue that, because the West is now developed, the 1872 Mining law is obsolete and inconsistent with other federal natural resource policies, but supporters contend that the system works well and should be maintained. The pros and cons of the claimpatent system are discussed, along with specific legislative activity aimed at ways for the federal government to receive fair market value for the land or royalties from mineral production, environmental protection, and withdrawals of federal lands by USBLM.

AN - 72219935; 11672482 AB - Antimicrobial-resistance in Gram-positive bacteria is reported with increasing frequency in strains isolated from food animals. Their isolation from commercial poultry carcasses and meat products constitute a potential risk that resistant strains or resistance genes might spread to humans via the food chain. As bacterial inactivation by thermal process is a critical control point in the safe preparation of many ready-to-eat foods, it is important to determine the thermal resistance of these organisms. The present study was undertaken to investigate the thermal tolerance (D and Z values) of antimicrobial-resistant, Gram-positive cocci in ground chicken meat. The antimicrobial-resistant, Gram-positive cocci for this study were isolated from two poultry processing plants in Western Australia.

The estimated lethal effect of the cooking process for chicken meat indicates that an internal temperature of 70 degrees C for 2.1 min would provide a 7-log reduction of all cell suspensions tested.

For grades K-4, fourth grade teacher, Janet Williamson, has developed "Off and Running with Primary Sources" which describes how she introduces students to primary sources using historical advertisements. Appropriate for grades 5-8, a strategy was developed by Cathy Hix for a seventh grade class to explore American Memory searching for evidence that the class historical fiction readings are accurate. For grades 9-12, high school teacher Arnold Pulda highlights a buried treasure that can be used to introduce students to the collections. In the feature article "The Evolution of a History Teacher," Greg Deegan reflects on the impact of technology in his classroom. In the "Tech Tip" section, "Tips for Searching the American Memory Collections or 'I Know I Found Articles Yesterday, but Where Are They Now!'" Laurie Williams, school media specialist, suggests three basic search strategies. (BT) AU - Singleton, Laurel R.

On the one hand, it addresses economic growth, and on the other, it deals with economic development of the whole nation. Sustainable development, on the other hand, emphasizes the need for integration of economics and environment, as well as promoting intra- and intergenerational equity. While the literature deals extensively with the issues of sustainable development, it lacks a prescription of an easy-to-use, yet rigorous, methodology for it. In this paper, we offer a decision conferencing approach to sustainable development planning based on a multicriteria model. The integrated model is presented and applied to a sustainable development planning exercise in a third world country. Sample results are presented and detailed sensitivity analyses show the environmental variables that are of major concern.

Nine loci were examined in samples from five regions of Australia's South East Fishery. All nine were highly polymorphic; numbers of alleles per locus ranged from 11 to 52 in total samples of 270-306 individuals. The average observed heterozygosity per locus per sample (0.823) was a little lower than the average Hardy-Weinberg expected heterozygosity per sample (0.895), perhaps reflecting the possible presence of null alleles at two loci. There was no significant evidence of genetic stock heterogeneity.

These species accounted for at least 90% of the total metazoan abundance at each location. Abundances were high, reaching 175 individuals l super(-1) (190,000 m super(-2)) for D. glacialis and 660 l super(-1)(901,000 m super(-2)) for P. antarctica. These abundances were probably partly supported by the high biomass of ice-algae (Pearson correlation coefficient, r=0.75), as indicated by chlorophyll-a concentrations (1.7-10.1 mu g l super(-1)). The population structures of each species suggested very different life-history strategies. All developmental stages of D. glacialis were isolated from the ice cores, including females with egg sacs, supporting the hypothesis that this species reproduces in the sea ice during winter. This strategy might assist D. glacialis in leading a continually colonising existence, whereby it responds opportunistically to the availability of favourable habitat patches. The populations of P. antarctica were composed primarily of nauplii (>99%), consistent with past observations of a synchronised life cycle for this species. The strong coupling of the developmental cycle of P. antarctica to the growth and decay of sea ice suggests that local extinctions might occur in areas where ice break-out is unpredictable.

This paper presents an approach to the pricing of weather derivatives that employs a combination of empirical data including forecast verification data, regional synoptic classification data, and data associated with climate indices on a global scale, such as the Southern Oscillation Index. The paper presents several illustrative examples that show how to price these options about the occurrence of an unusual weather event, using forecast verification data and synoptic classification data.

The Emerald region was previously used predominantly for grazing beef cattle; however, cropping has developed in importance over the past 30 years. We use historical climate records (1890-1998) to simulate and compare wheat yields, grass production and live-weight gain (LWG) over time. The cropping expansion from the 1970s to the early 1990s has occurred in a unique period in the 108-year record with the highest average wheat yields, lowest wheat yield variability and the greatest relative productivity of wheat production against grass production. If this window of opportunity is a result of long-term climate variability, then cropping is likely to decline in the region as conditions return to those experienced earlier in the record. If this increase is related to climate change, then cropping is likely to persist in the region with productivity maintained at current levels particularly through the yield-enhancing effects of increased atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations. However, this persistence will be influenced by the frequencies of El Nino conditions that may increase with global warming. The high relative productivities experienced over the past few decades have probably biased producers' expectations, and applications for drought support need to take into account the longer-term perspective provided by this analysis. Nevertheless, the last 6 years have the lowest simulated mean LWG production on the record. The identification of poor production periods depended on the production element being addressed and the timescale involved.

They also form important links between the productivity at shallow and deeper water depths. Here we analyse the diets of 23 fish species, 13 of which are from the family Myctophidae from 254 stomach samples. Crustaceans (particularly copepods, amphipods, and euphausiids) were the dominant prey in 18 species. Fishes were the dominant prey in five species. Further analysis showed that five of the 13 myctophid fishes had a low level of similarity in diet composition between individuals of each species, whereas the other eight species had significantly high levels of similarity. Cluster analysis and randomisation procedures suggested the existence of five trophic guilds among the Myctophidae.

A strong three-wave pattern dominated the middle to high latitude circulation around the hemisphere, with higher than average atmospheric pressure observed over most of Australia.

Prompted by the significance of the rainfall, and the very poor guidance provided by local and international forecast systems, a study has been made of (a) numerical prediction of the event, and (b) the associated large-scale and mesocale dynamics. To identify and objectively reduce errors in initial conditions, a forward - backward assimilation system has been developed. The technique utilises backwards running of the assimilating forecast model with modified physical parametrisations, and the observational network over continental Australia, to extrapolate the data over the poorly observed ocean areas to the south and west. The new analyses show enhanced vertical structure and intensity of the (oceanic) cut-off low, and a clearly defined split jetstream over ocean areas to the southwest of the observational network. The forecasts from the new initial conditions are considerably improved. Evidence is presented that downstream development (successive trough-ridge amplification) played an important role in establishing the large-scale environment. Theoretical estimates of group and phase speeds show reasonable agreement with the observed behaviour. The upper-level flow is characterised by an amplifying trough that eventually orientates SW-NE. The resulting forward-tilted cut-off low is associated with very strong divergence (and ascent) on its eastern flank. Lagrangian trajectory diagnostics are used to illustrate this structural change and to relate the evolution of the potential vorticity and the jetstreams. At low levels, the environment is characterised by weak inertial stability and sustained conditional instability. It is postulated that the low inertial stability allows the development of large-scale divergent flows (mostly associated with convection) and the strengthening of a low level jet. This in turn maintains the moisture supply and conditional instability in the rain area, so that a positive feedback is established between the convection and the large-scale flow. The presence of these upper and lower level flow features results in a highly efficient rain system.

Methods and Results: The method uses a cocktail of cry gene sequences as a hybridization probe to screen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains and gene libraries prepared from them. Under the hybridization and washing conditions used, cross-hybridization between genes from different cry families was not observed. Probes containing either partial or complete cry gene sequences produced similar patterns when hybridized to genomic DNA of several Bt strains although the pattern produced by the probe composed of entire gene coding regions was somewhat more complex. Conclusions: As a tool for gene library screening, hybridization with a mixture of cry gene sequences is an efficient means of detecting clones containing a diverse range of cry genes in a single step. Significance and Impact of the Study: This technique greatly improves the ease and efficiency of novel toxin gene discovery compared to previous methods.

Species distribution patterns over diurnal cycles showed dinophyte and cryptophyte species exhibiting diurnal vertical migration patterns which changed over a three-week bloom period. The dinophyte and cryptophyte behaviour appeared to be related to measured changes in ambient nitrogen profiles over the course of the bloom. Chlorophyte species were not shown to be strongly migratory over diurnal periods. Absolute uptake rates ( rho , approximating P sub(max)) for nitrogen, in the form of super(15)NO super(-) sub(3), super(15)NH super(+) sub(4) or super(15)N-urea, were compared between seasonal bloom assemblages and ranged between 0.02 and 12 mu g N l super(-1) h super(-1) (NO sub(3) 0.02-7; NH sub(4) 0.4-9; urea 0.1-12 mu g N l super(-1) h super(-1)). Specific uptake rates ( upsilon ) ranged between 2 and 1770 ng N mu g Chla super(-1) h super(-1) (NO sub(3) 2-290; NH sub(4) 19-1770; urea 6-1730 ng N mu g Chla super(-1) h super(-1)). Relative preference indices (RPI) for NO sub(3) (new N) vs. NH sub(4) (recycled N) were calculated to determine whether allochthonous or autochthonous nitrogen sources were implicated in supporting these blooms. Results indicated no physiological preference at any depth for NO sub(3) or NH sub(4) during spring and autumn, and for summer surface assemblages. There was a strong preference for NH sub(4) (RPI similar to 0.95) at mid and bottom depths during summer. Ambient NH sub(4) uptake rates were compared with changes in ambient NH sub(4) profiles to determine the importance of measuring fluxes against absolute parameter measurements in understanding the nitrogen dynamics supporting phytoplankton growth. From flux measurements it was found that apparent reappearance rates for NH sub(4) ranging between 1% and 1030% of absolute uptake rates occurred during summer, with decreases equivalent to 100% of ambient uptake rate occurring at depth at night. Nutrient profiling alone, in the absence of knowledge of nutrient fluxes, was insufficient in assessing possible nutrient control over phytoplankton growth and biomass maintenance. Within this system there is the potential for phytoplankton growth and bloom maintenance to occur supported solely by recycling of NH sub(4).

The distribution and succession of phytoplankton are influenced by seasonal variation of rainfall and its subsequent effect on the spatial distribution of salinity. The longer duration of rainfall in 1980-81 compared with 1994-95 effectively restricted the movement of the salt-water wedge, thereby delaying the progression of marine phytoplankton into the estuary. There was little difference in the phytoplankton composition and biomass in the lower estuary, while the upper estuary appeared to have more blooms of dinoflagellates in the summer and autumn of 1994-95 compared with 1980-81. The intensity and duration of rainfall appeared to affect the availability of soluble nutrients. Although there was no significant difference in phytoplankton biomass between the two periods, it was likely that the high phytoplankton biomass in the upper estuary in 1994-95 was due to availability of more soluble nutrients from internal recycling processes at the sediment/water interface.

In situ grazing by zooplankton at two depths in the water column was measured over a diel period on six occasions and examined in relation to the biotic and abiotic habitat conditions. Measured weight-specific ingestion rates varied with phytoplankton and zooplankton species composition, but were significantly greater at the surface than at 5 m, close to the bottom (ranges of 1.59 to 252.41 and 0.51 to 28.99 mu g phytoplankton C mu g zooplankton C super(-1) day super(-1), respectively). There was no evidence of significant diel changes in ingestion rates of zooplankton. Phytoplankton biomass removed by in situ community grazing ranged between 0.9 and 45.0% of standing stock per hour. The maximum loss occurred when phytoplankton biomass ranged from 249.0 to 320.8 mu g phytoplankton C 1 super(-1). Zooplankton grazing impact was negatively associated with high phytoplankton and low dissolved oxygen in bottom waters. The implications of, and mechanisms associated with, top-down control of algal biomass in this estuary are discussed in relation to plankton succession and the physical environment.

This is not true. However it is the case that we could be using existing knowledge better, and that we could be doing more to learn the lessons from the huge sums being spent on river restoration and management. Informing good policy and practical on-ground management with R&D outputs has proven to be is difficult, but essential. This paper reviews some of the history of water and river management in Australia and how perceptions of rivers have evolved. It discusses the challenge of enhancing the linkages between science, policy and practice in river management. It outlines the knowledge exchange, R&D and capacity building strategies of the National Rivers Consortium - a new initiative whose founding partners are LWRRDC, the MDBC, CSIRO Land and Water and the Western Australian Waters and Rivers Commission. This strategic collaboration between policy makers, river managers and scientists brings together organisations with responsibility and expertise to improve the health and management of Australian rivers. The National Rivers Consortium is making a major investment in knowledge exchange and capacity building, based on direct personal contact and learning by doing. The Consortium is establishing a program of training activities targeting river managers and policy makers, based on the best available science and high quality information products. It will support river managers as they plan and implement river restoration and protection projects. The paper concludes with a discussion of the key knowledge gaps that remain impediments to the better management of Australia's unique and diverse river landscapes.

AN - 18099611; 5178866 AB - This paper describes an efficient colchicine-mediated technique for the in vitro induction of hop tetraploids and its confirmation by flow cytometry. A window of conditions generated a high percentage (20%) of tetraploid induction, with the highest induction (25.6%) achieved with 0.05% colchicine for 48 h. Colchicine-induced tetraploids remained stable after 6 months in soil. Leaf characteristics of diploid and tetraploid hops were compared, and it was determined that stomatal length and width are suitable parameters for identifying putative hop tetraploids. As well as generating tetraploids, this technique generates mixoploid hops. Calli, derived from mixoploid leaves, were induced to form shoot buds and shoots. Individual shoots were classed as diploid, mixoploid or tetraploid after screening by flow cytometry. This callus-based technique can be employed when a genome-doubling agent generates mixoploids but fails to generate tetraploids.

The ACT1 promoter (2.2 kbp) was isolated by a combination of ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction and a method for amplifying flanking sequences. A single transcriptional start site was mapped to within 215 bp of the ATG, within which was located a large intron of 840 bp with almost consensus monocot 5 and 3 splice recognition sites. The ACT1 gene was amplified from genomic DNA, and the deduced amino acid sequence showed the highest levels of similarity to vegetatively expressed plant actins. Northern analysis indicated that the ACT1 transcript was present in all tissues examined (petals/sepals, stigma/stamens, leaves and roots). Expression studies in transgenic banana plants showed the ACT1 promoter drove strong reporter gene expression in both leaves and roots. Truncations of the ACT1 promoter suggested that all of the necessary regulatory elements required for strong (twofold greater than CaMV 35S) near-constitutive expression were located within 1.2 kbp of the ACT1 ATG.

These effects are important features of data in finance and turbulence. Recent studies have found that data in a large number of fields (including economics and finance, telecommunications, turbulence, hydrology, geophysics and air pollution) display long-range dependence (LRD) and intermittency or more general multifractal structure. Morever, in the fields of finance and turbulence, data can often be well fitted by non-Gaussian distributions (see, for example, Ref. 8 for a discussion of normal inverse Gaussian-type processes in finance).

Results revealed that chlorpyrifos exerted antimitotic actions on developing neural cells independently of cholinesterase inhibition. Chlorpyrifos was more effective than chlorpyrifos oxon, and physostigmine, a nonorganophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor, was completely ineffective in inhibiting DNA synthesis in PC12 cells and was less effective than chlorpyrifos in C6 cells. Gliotypic C6 cells were much more sensitive than neuronotypic PC12 cells, even in the absence of serum proteins. Like chlorpyrifos, diazinon also showed immediate onset of effects and preferential actions on gliotypic cells.

AN - 14597756; 10614276 AB - Using male NMR1 mice, the behavioral effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and tetrabromo-bis-phenol-A (TBBPA) when given during the rapid development of the neonatal mouse brain were investigated. Spontaneous behavior was tested in the male mice at ages two and four months, and the swim maze test was administered to male mice at age five months. No clinical signs of dysfunction were observed in the treated mice, and no significant deviations in body weight gain were noted. However, neonatal exposure to PBDE 99 and PBDE 47 caused permanent aberrations in spontaneous behavior, and the effect, along with habituation capability, appeared to worsen with age. In addition, neonatal exposure to PBDE 99 also affected learning and memory function in adult animals. Exposure to TBBPA in the same dose range did not cause any significant change in the investigated behavioral variables.

As part of the TestSmart program, an analysis was conducted of a random set of 200 HPV chemicals to predict the probability of each to induce a variety of toxic effects, including genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, and systemic toxicity. The CASE/MULTICASE program was used to predict the toxicity of the chemicals, using a number of validated and characterized structureactivity relationship models. Upon comparison of the proportion of chemicals in the sample predicted to be toxic to the proportion of chemicals predicted to be toxic in the reference set representing the universe of chemicals, the subset was estimated to contain a significantly lower proportion of toxicants.

Pleural malignant mesothelioma incidents in the area were matched by age and sex to control populations. Exposure in the asbestos cement industry was found to be a strong risk factor. For domestic exposure, highest risk was observed when either the father or mother was employed in the industry. A statistically significant increase in risk was observed for those who attended grammar school in Casale. The data suggested that environmental exposure caused a greater risk than domestic exposure.

When the complex, sequential process of cancer is examined, causality appears to be multiple, as in each sufficient causal group, there will be a number of necessary but not sufficient components, except in the case of a causal group that comprises a single component. Selected examples are provided to illustrate the alternative approach. The approach implies the necessity of investigating not only the reason for an effect linked to exposure to ionizing radiation, but also the reason for a lack of effect after exposure.

In this treatise, the implications for environmental scientists are examined, focusing on the definition of the principle through illustration, the aspects of conventional science that may inhibit precautionary policies, and new directions for scientific research that would better inform precautionary policies. It is argued that there is a fine line between the discoveries of science and the setting of policy, such that environmental scientists should be aware of the policy uses of their work and of their social responsibility to do science that protects human health and the environment.

Blood samples were collected from two children living in the case-study house, and surface wipes were used to measure the amount of metals in the interior surface dust of the house before, during, and after the project was completed. Soil samples were also collected before, during, and after the project. The concentrations of heavy metals in the paint samples exhibited a broad range. There was either no difference or an improvement when the Pb dust conditions of the house before renovation were compared to those during and after the project was completed. Thorough cleaning conducted after the major period of scraping resulted in the largest decrease of Pb dust. Significantly more dust containing Pb and other heavy metals was generated during power sanding than during scraping.

In this study, the effects of DEN on the pituitary ultrastructure, serum levels of several hormones, and expression and activities of several sex-differentiated liver enzymes were examined. Seven-week-old male and female rats were given a 200 mg/kg dose of DEN ip, and analyses were conducted for up to 35 d after dosing. The data showed that DEN caused acute toxicity to various cell types in the adenohypophysis and altered the serum levels of several hormones. In addition to cellular damage and cell death, dilated endoplasmic reticula were observed, along with hypertrophic Golgi complex and peripheral localization of secretory granules in the nondegenerated gonadotropes, lactotropes, and somatotrophs in males. DEN treatment also decreased the expression and activities of several male-predominant enzymes in the male liver and decreased cytochrome P4502C12 expression in the female liver. After five weeks, expression of cytochrome P4502C11 in males and cytochrome P4502C12 in females was still subnormal.

The analytical procedures employed included mass spectrometry, nitration, electroanalysis, thin-layer chromatography, electron spin resonance, ascorbate radial electron spin resonance intensity, and spin-trapping. Results revealed that butadiene soot contained a broad and concentrated range of PAHs and high-molecular-weight species, including cyclopenta and methylene-bridged species and a series of known and suspected mutagens/carcinogens. The products included aromatic hydrocarbons and free radicals. Cytoplasmic fluorescence was the earliest and most striking response of the cells to exposure, being evident in the low-dose cells, very prominent in the high-dose group, and absent from controls. Cellular fluorescence was detectable as early as 4 h after treatment. Dose-dependent cytotoxicity was demonstrated, and soot exposure elicited a dose-dependent increase in binucleated cells.

In adipose tissues, concentrations of DDTs were highest, followed by PCBs, hexachlorocyclohexanes, chlordanes, hexachlorobenzene, TCPMe, and TCPMOH. The concentrations of TCPMe and TCPMOH, which reached up to 44 and 31 ng/g, respectively, indicated widespread contamination in humans. On a wet-weight basis, concentrations of TCPMe, TCPMOH, and other organochlorine compounds in liver and bile were lower than those in adipose tissue. Concentrations of PCBs in adipose tissues ranged 2306600 ng/g, and those of DDTs ranged 1608100 ng/g. Accumulation of the organochlorine compounds appeared to increase with age, but no sex differences were discerned. Among the compounds examined, TCPMe had low biliary excretion.

A blood sample was obtained from each participating mother at delivery or within several weeks after delivery, and concentrations of PCBs and mercury were measured. Mercury concentrations were also determined in hair samples collected postnatally. The women were predominantly poorly educated and of lower socioeconomic status, and most women smoked during pregnancy. Most of the women ate fish at least once per week, and beluga fat/muktuk was the sea-mammal food consumed most frequently, followed by seal meat and seal fat. PCB 153 was the most prevalent congener in the blood samples, and PCB concentrations were correlated moderately with hair Hg concentrations, but unrelated to blood Hg and selenium. Hair and blood Hg levels, however, were associated strongly. Reported fish and marine-mammal consumption during pregnancy was unrelated to maternal PCB body burden, while consumption of fish, seal meat, and seal liver during pregnancy was associated moderately with maternal hair Hg concentration.

An extensive risk assessment was conducted by EPA in 1988, but the agency missed the 1989 deadline for issuing a new standard. A consent degree with a new deadline for the rule set for November 1995 was entered into, but the rule was again delayed to better characterize the health effects of and removal strategies for As. Under mandate by Congress, EPA published its proposal in June 2000 to revise the As standard to 5 ppb. The proposed and final As rule under the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments is outlined and discussed, noting the standard-setting process, the standards review and revision process, attempts by EPA to balance costs and benefits of the new standard, and the anticipated benefits and costs of the new standard. Various legislative proposals have emerged in response to the new rule or its delay, which are identified briefly.

AN - 85355008; pmid-11489364 AB - we studied the effects of histamine, the H1 receptor antagonist pyrilamine, and the H2 receptor antagonist cimetidine on the cochlear potential of guinea pigs (cochlear microphonic, CM; compound action potential, CAP).histamine was applied into the cochlear perilymph at three different dosages (10 microM, 50 microM or 10 mM). Pyrilamine and cimetidine were applied at 50 microM each.histamine increased the CAP at 10 and 50 microM without any significant effects on the CM. The effects of histamine at 50 microM were suppressed by the 50-microM of pyrilamine and cimetidine. At 10 mM of histamine, CAP and CM amplitudes were significantly decreased.in low concentrations, histamine may act as an extracellular signal on inner hair cells (IHCs) or it may stimulate the afferent nerve by binding to their H1 and H2 receptors. A possible explanation for the inhibitory effects of histamine at 10-mM dosage was apparently found in that the effects of the high concentration may be supraphysiological; and furthermore, there is a difference in the mechanism by which histamine exerts its effects mediated by the histamine receptors on the cochlea.

AN - 71066231; 11489436 AB - The in vivo metabolic fate of 1,8-cineole was investigated in six male koalas. Koalas were fed ad lib a diet of Eucalyptus cephalocarpa leaf with a 1,8-cineole concentration of 2.53+/-0.70% dry mass of leaf, corresponding to a 1,8-cineole intake of 2.4+/-1.1 mmol/kg (3.1+/-1.3 g). Urine and faeces were collected for 24 h and metabolites identified by GC-MS and LC-MS. Metabolites were quantified before and after hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase to give free and total levels, respectively. Fractional recovery of ingested 1,8-cineole was 1.3+/-0.4 and 1.4+/-0.4 (mean+/-S.D.) for free and total measurements, respectively. Seven metabolites were identified and quantified: 9- and 7-hydroxycineole, 9- and 7-cineolic acid, 7-hydroxy-9-cineolic acid, 9-hydroxy-7-cineolic acid and 7,9-dicineolic acid. The hydroxycineolic acids dominated the metabolite profile (85%). 7,9-Dicineolic acid, a novel metabolite of 1,8-cineole, accounted for almost 10% of the recovered dose making it the second most abundant metabolite after 7-hydroxy-9-cineolic acid (77%). Together, the less oxidised metabolites, the hydroxycineoles and cineolic acid, accounted for only 5% of the cineole consumed. Significant conjugation only occurred with four minor, less oxidised, alcohol and carboxylic acid metabolites. We have shown that the koala detoxifies and eliminates 1,8-cineole primarily by extensive oxidation without utilising conjugation pathways. JF - Comparative biochemistry and physiology.

AN - 71041219; 11470182 AB - Faeces voided by 1-year old cattle at 3-70 days after treatment with a pour-on formulation of moxidectin had no detectable effects on development or survival of the common dung beetle Onthophagus taurus. In contrast, faeces voided by cattle treated with a pour-on formulation of eprinomectin were associated with high juvenile mortality during the first 1-2 weeks after treatment. Increased mortality also occurred among newly emerged beetles fed on faeces collected 3 days after eprinomectin treatment and there was evidence of suppressed brood production among those that survived. This effect was still apparent even after insects fed for a further 10 days on the faeces of untreated cattle. A model simulating the effects of drug residues on dung beetle populations suggests that in the absence of immigration a single treatment of eprinomectin is capable of reducing beetle activity in the next generation by 25-35%. Effects are likely to be greatest when treatment coincides with emergence of a new generation of beetles.

In order to create this kind of maps, one must employ a wide variety of digital processing techniques, in order to obtain high accuracy and analysis speed. Both aerial photos and satellite images had to be geometrically and radiometrically corrected, in order to eliminate distortions. Using digital image processing techniques, different information layers were developed and imported to the MapInfo GIS. GIS software was used for the comparative spatial and quantitative analysis of all the information layers. The GIS handled all geomorphological data as separate objects. Thus, every object's attributes and every distance between objects, is easily measurable. Moreover, data modifications and updates are also very quick and easy. Milos is a volcanic Aegean-sea island. Over the last decades, significant geomorphological changes have taken place, because of rapid increment of tourism. The rapid, and of a large scale, geomorphological changes that have already taken place and will continue in the future, were the reason why Milos island was selected among others to be studied from a geomorphological point of view. This paper's aim is to record geomorphological features of Milos island in order to be compared with data that will be gathered in some years at the second stage of this study, in order to present geomorphological changes due to human activity impacts.

External effects AN - 26659153; 200204-35-0136 (CE); 05183442 (EN) AB - Nutrient cycling in a short rotation forest system can be manipulated to give sustainable biomass production and land use. External factors, such as irrigation of meatworks effluent and age of plantation, could play some special role when managing litter in plantation forests to provide biomass sustainably for use as a fuel. These factors were examined for their effects on eucalypt leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release under 1, 2 and 3-year-old short rotation forest plantations grown in New Zealand. Both factors had significant effects on the rate of decomposition and nutrient release. Effluent irrigation significantly increased litter decomposition (from 46 to 62%) and nutrient release under 1-year-old stands, made no significant difference under 2-year-old stands (decomposition: 68 and 66%) and retarded the process under 3-year-old stands (decomposition: from 75 to 42%). In stands without irrigation, the decomposition and nutrient release occurred least under 1-year-old stands compared with 2- and 3-year-old stands. Conversely, in stands irrigated with effluent, the decomposition and nutrient release occurred least under 3-year-old stands. Phosphorus, magnesium, and nitrogen accumulated more than their initial amount in the litter, particularly under 3-year-old stands irrigated with effluent. The effects of these external factors should be considered when managing litter in plantation forests to give sustainable biomass production.

AN - 21263167; 11702260 AB - In this article, we review the cardiovascular responses to the inhalation of irritants and pollutants. Many sensory receptors in the respiratory system, from nose to alveoli, respond to these irritants and set up powerful reflex changes, including those in the cardiovascular system. Systemic hypotension or hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, and dysrhythmias have all been described previously. Most of the experiments have been acute and have been performed on anesthetized experimental animals. Experiments on humans suggest we have similar sensory systems and reflex responses. However, we must use caution when applying the animal results to humans. Most animal experiments, unlike those with humans, have been performed using general anesthesia, with irritants administered in high concentrations, and often to a restricted part of the respiratory tract. Species differences in the response to irritants are well established. We must be even more careful when applying the results of acute experiments in animals to the pathophysiologic changes observed in prolonged exposure to environmental pollution in humans.

AN - 21259226; 11702262 AB - Studies in animals have shown that a wide range of airborne particulates including cigarette smoke, acid aerosols, metals, organic compounds, and combustion products can interfere with the normal defense processes of the lung to enhance susceptibility to respiratory infection or exacerbate allergic diseases. Such detrimental effects are less easy to quantify in humans because of the difficulties in obtaining comprehensive exposure history and health status in large populations and because of the inherent dangers of inducing disease in clinical studies. In this article we describe examples of how air pollutants affect lung disease in experimental animal systems. This information can be used to predict the health risk of simple and complex exposures and to lend insight into the mechanisms of air pollution toxicity.

AN - 21259199; 11702261 AB - Environmental agents, when applied in combination or sequentially, can induce a wide variety of adverse health effects in humans. To determine the effects of sequential allergen challenge and acid exposure on human bronchial epithelial cell function, we subjected normal, nonallergic control and ragweed-allergic individuals to bronchoscopic segmental ragweed challenge in vivo. We harvested bronchial epithelial cells by brush biopsy both before challenge and 24 hr after challenge and exposed cells to an acid stress in vitro (pH 5 for 3 hr), followed by a 1-hr recovery period at normal pH. In normal, nonallergic subjects, segmental allergen challenge produced no effects on ciliary activity; pH 5 exposure produced reduced ciliary activity (a decrease in the percent of the initially active area), with significant recovery after cells were returned to a normal pH. Ciliary activity from allergic subjects was also inhibited by pH 5 exposure; however, activity was not recovered when cells were placed in medium of normal pH. Ciliary activity in allergics who developed a stress response postantigen challenge, as determined by an induction of the 27 kDa stress (heat shock) protein, displayed no ciliary dysfunction when exposed to a pH 5 stress. In this case, a stress sufficient to provoke a heat shock (stress) protein (HSP) response (but not one that produced more severe lung injury and did not provoke an HSP response) protected cells from a subsequent acid stress. Because of our observations and recent findings reported in the literature, we suggest that in order to define the wide variety of health effects of environmental agents, control as well as at-risk populations should be studied and the ability to define potentially beneficial as well as detrimental effects should be built into the experimental design. Inclusion of different and novel end points also should be considered.

AN - 21251136; 11702259 AB - The activation of primary afferent neurons that innervate the airways leads to homeostatic and defensive reflexes. The anatomic and physiologic characteristics of these afferent fibers do not appear to be static properties but rather appear to change rapidly in response to inflammation. The threshold for activation of airway afferent neurons to various stimuli, for example, is not fixed; these fibers can be become sensitized during inflammation. A subset of nociceptive-like (C-fibers) airway afferent neurons not only participates in centrally mediated reflexes but is also thought to release neuropeptides at their peripheral terminals, leading to neurogenic inflammation. An increase in the content of tachykinins is commonly seen in inflamed tissues, and there is accumulating evidence that irritation and inflammation of the airways is associated with the induction of tachykinin synthesis in non-nociceptive airway afferent fibers that under normal conditions do not contain neuropeptides. The release of neurokinins from the peripheral terminals in the airways and their central terminals in the brain stem may contribute to the symptoms of inflammatory airway diseases. Elevated release of neurokinins from peripheral terminals may promote local inflammatory responses, and the release of neurokinins in the brainstem, together with inflammation-induced increases in the excitability of afferent fibers, may culminate in altered visceral autonomic reflex activity, changes in breathing pattern, and cough.

AN - 21251118; 11702258 AB - Striking similarities have been observed in a number of extrapulmonary responses of rodents to seemingly disparate ambient pollutants. These responses are often characterized by primary decreases in important indices of cardiac and thermoregulatory function, along with secondary decreases in associated parameters. For example, when rats are exposed to typical experimental concentrations of ozone (O(3), they demonstrate robust and consistent decreases in heart rate (HR) ranging from 50 to 100 beats per minute, whereas core temperature (T(co) often falls 1.5-2.5 degrees C. Other related indices, such as metabolism, minute ventilation, blood pressure, and cardiac output, appear to exhibit similar deficits. The magnitudes of the observed decreases may be modulated by changes in experimental conditions and appear to vary inversely with both ambient temperature and body mass. More recent studies in which both healthy and compromised rats were exposed to either particulate matter or its specific components yielded similar results. The agents studied included representative examples of ambient, combustion, and natural source particles, along with individual or combined exposures to their primary metallic constituents. In addition to the substantial decreases in HR and T(co), similar to those seen with the O(3)-exposed rats, these animals also displayed numerous adverse changes in electrocardiographic waveforms and cardiac rhythm, frequently resulting in fatal outcomes. Although there is only limited experimental evidence that addresses the underlying mechanisms of these responses, there is some indication that they may be related to stimulation of pulmonary irritant receptors and that they may be at least partially mediated via the parasympathetic nervous system.

Thinning did not alter branch angle, branching density or the relationship between branch size and branch leaf area. However, larger branches were found in the lower crown of thinned trees and the increase in leaf area as a result of thinning occurred on the northern aspect of the crown. The vertical distribution of leaf area in unthinned trees was skewed toward the top of the crown and correlated with live crown ratio. The vertical distribution of leaf area in thinned trees tended to be less skewed and was unrelated to tree size or dominance. Leaf area index, as estimated from light interception measurements, increased at a constant rate soon after thinning regardless of residual stocking. In the longer term, residual stocking had a strong influence on leaf area increase per tree and was correlated with changes in crown length.

We conducted a series of experiments focusing on neonate larval survival, examining the effect of group size and leaf age on the survival of a eucalypt-feeding beetle, Chrysophtharta agricola, which formed groups of up to 43 larvae on the foliage of Eucalyptus nitens in the field. In the laboratory, in the absence of natural enemies, we found that initial density, leaf age and damage to the leaf margin significantly affected larval survival. Survival of solitary first-instar larvae on young foliage was around 80% whereas on older foliage it was around 11%. Prior damage to the leaf margin significantly increased survival on older leaves to around 61%. Initial larval density also affected survival, although mortality was always significantly higher on older leaves. On older leaves the larval group size above which mortality increased no further was over two-fold that on young leaves. Observations of group feeding behaviour at each instar showed that the majority of larvae (75.7%) were aligned facing away from the feeding site and that only around 7.5%, or just 1-2 larvae per group, fed at any one time. Feeding larvae chewed the leaf edge by straddling the leaf margin. Measurements of leaf margins showed that older leaves had significantly thicker leaf margins and 'thickness' ratios (leaf margin to leaf lamina proper). In the field, approximately 85% of all larvae occurred on the first two expanded leaf pairs, and larval mortality was highest between eclosion and establishment of the first instar. However, beetles apparently did not adjust clutch size according to leaf age.

The effect of bed depth, hydraulic loading and initial concentration of the adsorbate 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) was studied. Prediction of the performance of the columns using bed-depth/service time analysis showed good agreement with the experimental results. The VLRC-based activated carbons gave lower service times for removal of 4-NP compared with the coconut-based commercial activated carbon Picactif. However, they showed comparable efficiency in terms of bed volumes treated and carbon usage rate (CUR). The VLRC-activated power station char (APSC) showed the lowest CUR of 0.57 g/L in comparison with 0.62 and 3.61 g/L exhibited by the commercial carbons Picactif and Hydraffin, respectively. The power station char (PSC) and Auschar gave poor CUR of 11.23 and 75.36 g/L, respectively. Three adsorbents were evaluated for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from aqueous solution. The breakthrough behaviour indicated that the pore size distribution of the adsorbents is an important physical characteristic for the adsorption of the NOM. There was a non-adsorbable fraction of the NOM that was a function of the type of adsorbent. In the presence of NOM, Picactif gave longer service time for the removal of 4-NP compared with APSC, consistent with the trend obtained in the absence of NOM. However, lower breakthrough times (at 10% C sub(0)) of 44 and 47% were obtained for APSC and Picactif, respectively. Further removal (35%) of 4-NP was achieved over extended operation of the beds, however more frequent backwashing was required as a result of the biological growth exhibited in the presence of NOM.

Across all samples, numbers of alleles per locus ranged from 7 to 30 (mean: 17.0), and observed heterozygosities per locus ranged from 0.223 to 0.955 (mean: 0.593). Temporal collections were available for three areas: no significant temporal heterogeneity was observed for the Coral Sea (1991/1992 and 1995/1996 collections) or eastern Australia (1994/1995, 1995/1996, 1996/1997 and 1997/1998), but there was slight but significant heterogeneity at one locus (cmrTa-161) between the two Philippines collections (1994/1995 and 1996/1997). Genotypes generally showed a good fit to Hardy-Weinberg expectations within populations; only cmrTa-208 in the pooled Coral Sea population gave a significant deviation after Bonferroni correction for 40 tests, with a small but significant excess of homozygotes. Four loci showed no evidence of population differentiation following contingency Chi-squared and FST analyses. The fifth locus, cmrTa-161, showed small but significant differentiation (FST=0.002, P0.001). This heterogeneity was largely a result of the Philippines 1994/1995 and Fiji collections; there was no correlation with geographic distance. The average FST across all five loci was very low (FST=0.002), but it was significant (P0.001). It is unclear whether this low but significant differentiation reflects noise in the dataset, perhaps arising from experimental error, or real population differentiation. The finding of very limited population heterogeneity accords with most of the earlier allozyme and mitochondrial DNA studies of yellowfin tuna in the Pacific Ocean.

Net ion fluxes and changes in the extracellular concentrations of H super(+), Ca super(2+), K super(+) and NH sub(4) super(+) in adherent bacteria, isolated from cultures at different growth stages (exponential, late exponential, and stationary phases), were monitored. With the exception of Ca super(2+), a significant (P=0.05) difference was found in the magnitude of net fluxes of the ions measured from bacterial cells at different stages of the population growth curve. The magnitude of the H super(+) response was glucose-dependent with maximum changes occurring at the highest concentration. There was a progressive increase in H super(+) extrusion followed by a gradual return to zero at late stationary phase. Measurements of net ion fluxes crossing the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, demonstrated here for the first time, may offer insight into underlying mechanisms of ion transport kinetics. Applications of the non-invasive ion-selective microelectrode technique in microbiology are discussed.

Information was obtained from: a review of relevant literature, from the authors' extensive community-based experiences, from undertaking community-based research, and from interviews with key stakeholders in road safety in Western Australia. Ten significant barriers to community participation were identified. These are classified into two groups: personnel and planning issues. The former includes: reasons why people are often reluctant to become involved in projects in their communities, a lack of leadership, and a lack of skills. The latter includes: inappropriate program foci, inappropriate program evaluation, lack of resources, and a lack of sustainability. It was concluded that the barriers to community involvement in road safety initiatives are similar in many parts of Australia and overseas and apply to a wide range of health promotion interventions besides road safety. Awareness of the barriers and knowledge of their solutions can ensure that appropriate steps are taken to maximise the likelihood of community participation.

The particles were concentrated six- and tenfold, and the subjects were exposed to levels ranging 23311 mu g/m super(3). The volunteers underwent bronchoscopy with lavage 18 h after exposure to either filtered air or concentrated particulates, and venous blood was collected immediately before and 18 h after exposure. Results showed that exposure to particulates caused a small increase in neutrophils in the lower respiratory tract, but no effect of particle inhalation was found that involved the cellular immune system. Acute exposure to concentrated particulates did not affect macrophage surface receptor expression or phagocytic function.

A short review is presented of recent studies conducted to identify the types of vagal bronchopulmonary receptors involved in eliciting these defense reflexes and the changes in sensitivities of the receptors caused by airway mucosal inflammation. The experimental data suggest that bronchopulmonary C fibers and rapidly adapting pulmonary receptors are primarily responsible for eliciting the reflex responses. The relative contributions of the two types of afferents appear to be influenced by the types of stimulus and physiological factors. The sensitivities of the sensory receptors are enhanced by airway inflammation, due possibly to the release of specific inflammation mediators in the airways.

Results are summarized from selected studies that enabled identification of specific processes in response to inhaled materials. The results are presented and discussed in three areas: the impact of denervation of the lungs and airway inflammation on the acute defense mechanism of the lungs to inhaled irritants; differential uptake of inhaled particles into separate regions of the lungs; and the effect of inhaled nitric oxide on the pulmonary vasculature and gas exchange. The results reveal that sensory innervation of the lungs is required for coughing, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to nonspecific challenges depends on specific types of cellular infiltrates of the airway mucosa. Nitric oxide was shown to act as a selective vasodilator when inhaled.

To investigate this phenomenon, a study was conducted to assess, via time-series analysis, whether racial minorities in New York City are at an increased risk of hospitalization due to respiratory illness attributable to air pollution than white residents. Socioeconomic status was also considered. Daily counts of respiratory hospital admissions were obtained from a division of the state's Department of Health for 1988, 1989, and 1990, and environmental and weather data were gleaned from various sources. A negative binomial regression model was employed to model daily variations in respiratory hospital admissions, and the resulting pollutant regression coefficients were used to calculate the relative risk of respiratory hospital admissions for the white and nonwhite subgroups. The race-specific admissions data were also categorized by health-insurance status. Statistically significant overall associations were found between air pollution and increased hospital admissions, with the relative risk estimates for the Hispanic nonwhite population larger than those of the non-Hispanic white population, although not statistically significantly. A large portion of the apparent difference between racial subgroups could be explained by socioeconomic factors such as health insurance and poverty.

Tidal volume increases and breathing frequency declines were found to be related inversely with perceived moderate nasal irritation, which were stronger for normal individuals. In a separate study, healthy male never-smokers were exposed repeatedly to a non-smoking control condition and to each of five concentrations of environmental tobacco smoke, and eye blink rate responses were monitored, as was breathing rate. Despite very modest elevations in nasal and eye irrigation with the lower concentrations, the stimulus caused significant declines in breathing frequency. Eye blink rate and eye irritation were also related to the effects of airborne chemical exposure.

Rats were also instilled intratracheally with vehicle, diesel exhaust particles, or carbon black, and effects on the production of cytokines from alveolar macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide were examined. Further studies examined the effects of diesel exhaust particles on zymosan-stimulated production of reactive oxygen species, on pulmonary response to viral infection, and on pulmonary response to bacterial infection. Results showed that exposure to diesel exhaust particles decreased proinflammatory cytokine production from lipopolysaccharide-exposed alveolar macrophages, decreased reactive oxygen species production from zymosan-exposed alveolar macrophages, and decreased interferon production in viral-exposed lungs.

Data from selected studies are cited, showing that exposure of airway epithelial cells results in the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, particularly granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-6, and the protein regulated-on-activation-normal-T-cell-expressed-and-secreted. Studies have also suggested that increased concentrations of interleukin-6 can induce the release of the acute-phase reactants from hepatocytes, which induce an increase in blood viscosity and promote thrombus formation. Issues in this area requiring further investigation are identified.

For comparison, rats received either an aqueous solution of silver nitrate or one of elemental Ag by intratracheal instillation. Results showed that particle size and the tendency of particles to form aggregates affected the distribution pathway in the lungs, and in the alveolar region, inhaled fine particles were readily phagocytized by alveolar macrophages. Following inhalation exposure, Ag in the lungs decreased rapidly with time, and by day 7, only 4% of the initial burden remained. The Ag concentration also decreased rapidly in the blood. Much slower elimination from the lungs was observed following instillation of elemental Ag, whereas rapid clearance of water-soluble silver nitrate from the lungs was observed.

AN - 14599759; 10611263 AB - While the mechanisms by which air pollution affects the cardiovascular system are unknown, studies have suggested neural mechanisms related to the response of the autonomic nervous system through direct reflexes from airways or through inflammatory responses, among others. The use of modern electrocardiology to determine the mechanisms is considered, which offers a broad spectrum of measures than can be used to identify the contribution of possible mechanisms to air pollution-related increases in cardiovascular adverse outcomes. Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters are described to provide comprehensive information about the mechanisms underlying increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. ECG parameters describing myocardial damage or myocardial ischemia can give information about the presence and the magnitude of myocardial involvement. The parameters to evaluate using ECG include standard deviation of normal-to-normal sinus beat intervals and low frequency/high frequency ratio, QT duration, T-wave morphology, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Agglomerates of fine particles of TiO sub(2) were also used. Results showed that exposure to all three agglomerates induced alveolar macrophages to release arachidonic acid as a metabolite of phospholipase A sub(2), prostaglandin E sub(2), which is a major product of the cyclooxygenase pathway, thromboxane B sub(2), 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, leukotriene B sub(4), and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. The reaction pathways of the responses are detailed. The results suggested that the surface area, rather than the mass concentration, determined the effect of agglomerates of ultrafine particles.

Considered are the acute versus chronic effects, the presence of ultrafine particles in ambient air, the oxidative stress caused by particles, the effects of oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system, and the acute-phase response. The data suggest that atheromatous plaques can form in the coronary arteries, constituting a major cause of morbidity and death associated with exposure to particulate air pollution. The production and release of acute-phase reactants, such as C-reactive protein, have been proposed as a marker of unstable atheromatous plaques and underlying atherosclerosis.

Extracellular action potentials of second-order nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) neurons in the lung C-fiber reflex pathway and phrenic nerve activity were recorded simultaneously as an index of respiratory output. The results suggested that activation of substance P receptors in the NTS exerted a physiologically relevant effect by augmenting the lung C-fiber reflex output. The increased responsiveness of NTS neurons in the lung C-fiber reflex pathway and prolonged expiratory times suggested that extended environmental tobacco smoke exposure changed respiratory function via the CNS.

A small, soluble, hydrophilic tracer was used to assess clearance from the airways and uptake by the bronchial circulation. Results showed that interrupting bronchial artery perfusion caused both an increased retention of the soluble tracer at the site of deposition and an attenuation of its uptake into the systemic blood. Serial images of the conducting airways demonstrated that a significant fraction of the deposited tracer appeared to move by mucociliary action.

Uterine wet weight increase and a number of morphologic and biochemical endpoints were considered in both species. A similar doseresponse increase in uterine wet weight was observed in both species with increasing doses of 17 beta -estradiol, and the uterine epithelial cell height in the mouse followed the same pattern of increase as observed in the rat. In terms of epithelial cell number, there was a greater increase over controls in mice than in rats at all doses, and there was a striking difference between the species in the ability of the estrogen to elicit gland formation. Lactoferin and complement C3, which are estrogen-responsive proteins, were expressed strongly in uterine luminal epithelial cells in both species following 17 beta -estradiol treatment. The overall results suggested that the mouse would be a suitable model for testing endocrine-disrupting chemicals for estrogenic activity.

Research was conducted on botanicas to ascertain the availability and use of Hg in these practices in New Jersey, New York State, and Pennsylvania, and selected subjects were interviewed who were recruited on the Internet and through newspaper advertisements. An exposure assessment is provided through modeling, relating Hg vapor concentrations during these practices with a number of health standards. Recommendations are proposed for gaining a better understanding of the extent of different uses of Hg, the public-policy implications, risk communication, and community involvement and education.

Results showed that both the baseline and follow-up measures of adduct levels were weakly but somewhat positively correlated with age. The reduction in adduct levels was higher among subjects for whom the time interval between two blood draws was shorter, and the temporal variability differed with respect to geographic residence of the study subjects, with the highest variability observed among subjects of Ma-Kung compared to those in Hu-Hsi and Pai-Hsa. No effect of seasonal variations on either the baseline or the intraindividual variability in adduct levels was observed. Although not significant, the intraindividual variability in the adduct levels appeared to be higher among subjects who were seronegative for hepatitis B surface antigen. The glutathione S-transferase T1 or M1 genotype and anti-hepatitis C status did not have any impact on either the baseline or the temporal variability of the aflatoxin B sub(1)albumin adduct levels.

The cell line was derived from the normal urothelium lining of the ureter and was immortalized using the simian virus 40 large T antigen. Light and electron microscopy was used to show that propagation of the UROtsa cell line on a serum-free growth medium resulted in expression of structural features of differentiated urothelium. The resulting cultures retained the metallothionein and heat shock protein expression background expected from normal urothelium and could be transfected stably to overexpress the metallothionein-3 gene or knock-out metallothionein gene expression using an antisense vector.

The data were used to develop a predictive model to estimate airborne endotoxin on the basis of endotoxin in settled house dust and selected home characteristics. No significant seasonal variation in indoor airborne endotoxin levels was observed. Both current and past presence of a dog were strong positive predictors of airborne endotoxin in the home, and cool-mist humidifier use, concrete floors in the family room, and water damage in the past year were associated positively with airborne endotoxin. Dust endotoxin alone was found to be a weak surrogate of airborne endotoxin.

In addition, exploratory analyses were conducted to see of the ALAD polymorphism modified the relationship of bone or blood Pb levels to any of their well-known determinants. No significant differences among participants were found according to ALAD genotype with respect to levels of Pb in blood or patella bone. In multivariate analysis, however, tibia bone Pb levels were found to be significantly lower among the ALAD 1-2/2-2 than in the ALAD 1-1 genotype individuals, and an interaction between patella bone Pb and ALAD genotype was found with respect to blood Pb levels. Patella Pb was found to be the major predictor of blood Pb in this aging community-exposed population, and the ALAD polymorphism significantly modified this association. The findings suggested that the modulating effect of the ALAD polymorphism on blood Pb depended on the bone Pb burden.

The treatments, which involved beds, carpeted bedroom floors, and frequently used upholstered furniture, are described. Changes in house dust mite allergen concentrations and loads were compared between posttreatment vacuumed dust and pretreatment values. Significant decreases in bedroom carpet allergens were achieved both by intensive vacuuming alone and by vacuuming in combination with steam cleaning. In addition, the use of allergen-impermeable covers in combination with weekly laundering of nonencased bedding materials resulted in significant reductions in bed house dust mite allergens. Both dry steam cleaning and intensive vacuuming led to small reductions in house dust mite allergen in upholstered furniture, but unlike the results obtained for the bedroom carpets, the decrease effected by steam cleaning did not persist any longer than that of intensive vacuuming alone.

Individuals used the water from the units as their main supply of drinking water during the study, which was designed to determine whether microorganisms in water with minimal treatment played a significant role in gastroenteritis in the community. The real units were designed to remove viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. Routine water-quality monitoring was performed, and the participants completed a health diary for each week during the study. No significant difference in the incidence of gastroenteritis was noted among families with the real and sham units, indicating that waterborne pathogens did not play a major role in gastroenteritis in Melbourne.

Both women had worked in the same room at a textile research institute. Both women suffered from chloracne. Clinical, biochemical, hematologic, endocrine, and immunologic data that were obtained over 2 yr of monitoring the women are presented. The patients' chloracne and gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with TCDD intoxication, but despite high exposures in both patients, the clinical findings varied, suggesting that severe TCDD intoxication may occur in the absence of tangible organ manifestations or laboratory abnormalities.

To determine the spatial expression of AhR, an inducible reporter system designed to express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in response to ligand-activated AhR was developed. Results showed that AhR mRNA levels increased dramatically at 4 h after fertilization and appeared to be regulated throughout development. When fish were exposed to TCDD, GFP expression was observed up to at least 48 h, and GFP expression was detected in the eye, nose, and vertebrae. AhR-regulated GFP expression appeared to be an accurate predictor of TCDD-induced toxicity.

However, there is, as yet, little experience with sensitivity of this type of testing in epidemiologic studies. An overview is provided of the influence of endogenous and environmental factors on vaccine-induced antibody responses. Discussed are the variability in vaccination titers due to vaccinations, sociogeographic effects, and genetically determined variability in vaccination responses, as well as the influences of age, chronic psychological stress, nutrition, and infectious disease on the immune response to vaccination. The data from the literature suggest that sex, genetics, age, psychological stress, smoking, nutrition, and specific infectious diseases that are not necessarily directly antigenically related to a vaccine may have an influence on vaccination titers and be considered as confounders.

Pesticide exposure information was pooled from each farm operator, husband, and wife to construct a history of monthly agricultural and residential pesticide use, and complete medical and reproductive histories were collected. Reproductive and pesticide exposure history data were merged to create pesticide unit variables for months preceding and during each pregnancy. Among the 3963 pregnancies, 395 were spontaneous abortions. Preconception exposure to glyphosate, triazines, thiocarbamates, herbicides, fungicides, and miscellaneous pesticides moderately increased the risk for all spontaneous abortions. For most of the pesticides examined, preconception exposure contributed more to the risk of spontaneous abortion than exposures during the first trimester. The critical window of exposure for spontaneous abortions of less than 20 completed weeks of gestation was determined to be during the four-month period from three months before conception up to and including the calendar month of conception. A strong interaction was also found between maternal age and pesticide exposure on the risk of spontaneous abortion.

The mice were exposed to crystalline silica for 6 h/d, 5 d/week, for up to two weeks. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and phase-contrast microscopy revealed an increase in inflammatory cell numbers in the alveoli, but no excessive deposition of crystalline silica was noted in the lungs. Gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -2 in the lungs tended to increase following exposure, in contrast to mice with Clara cells, indicating that Clara cells inhibited pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis via matrix metalloproteinases in vivo.

The program was designed to test, refine, and standardize the immature and the adult ovariectomized rat uterotrophic assay using a high-potency reference agonist compound and to provide data on intra- and interlaboratory variability with the reference compound. The reference estrogen agonist was 17 alpha -ethinyl estradiol, and the reference estrogen antagonist was the pure antagonist ZM 189,154. Results are presented from the intra- and interlaboratory assessment of the assay, which show that all participating laboratories confirmed that the protocol was straightforward to perform, and all laboratories and all protocols were successful in detecting increases in uterine weights in the higher-dosed groups. At the higher doses, however, there was a significant difference between models in the magnitude of the percentage uterine weight increase over controls. Overall, the results suggested a certain robustness of the protocols, at least for the reference estrogen agonist.

Results are presented of an assessment of the neuropsychologic effects among these workers. Occupational histories were collected for all subjects, and a neuropsychologic battery was administered by psychologists at the home of each subject. Lower neuropsychologic performances were found in subjects exposed directly or indirectly to pesticides, and the results did not change when age, sex, educational level, alcohol consumption, smoking, environmental exposures, psychotropic drugs, or depressive symptoms were taken into account. The most impaired functions were those involved in information selection and information processing, as well as associative memory, verbal fluency, and abstraction, and the deficits were not greater for the directly exposed individuals than for the indirectly exposed ones.

Hearing before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session (July 30, 2001). AN - 62289687; ED463481 AB - This document presents witness testimonies addressing the growing problem of Ecstasy use among American youth. All accounts point to the fact that youth are increasingly experimenting with the drug and experiencing seizures and other adverse affects at an alarming rate. Opening statements from Senators Lieberman, Bunning, and Akaka related the problem of drugs in their states. Testimony was presented from two teenage residents of Phoenix House Drug Rehabilitation Center, who are recovering from Ecstasy addiction. Other witnesses include Dr. Donald R. Vereen, Jr., Deputy Director of National Drug Control Policy; Alan I. Leshner, Director of National Institute on Drug Abuse; John C. Varrone, Assistant Commissioner of Customs; Joseph D. Keefe, Chief of Operations for Drug Enforcement Administration; John M. Bailey, Connecticut Chief State's Attorney; and Roy Rutland, Narcotics Detective for Miami-Dade Police Department. The hearing attempted to determine if the government was doing enough to stop the continued spread of this drug. It was hoped that the hearing gave a better understanding of the problem and provided some insight into what must be done. The appendix contains the prepared statements of the witnesses.

Pig xenografts have been considered as an alternative source of organs for transplantation. The major obstacle currently known to prevent pig to human xenotransplantation is the interaction between the human natural anti-Gal antibody and the alpha -gal epitope (Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R), abundantly expressed on pig cells. This short review describes the characteristics of anti-Gal and of the alpha -gal epitope, their role in inducing xenograft rejection and some experimental approaches for preventing this rejection.

The essential function of FtsH is to maintain the proper balance of biosynthesis of major membrane components, lipopolysaccharide and phospholipids. F plasmid uses a partitioning system and is localized at specific cell positions, which may be related to the cell envelope, to ensure accurate partitioning. We have examined the effects of ftsH mutations on the maintenance of a mini-F plasmid, and have found that temperature-sensitive ftsH mutants are defective in mini-F plasmid partition, but not replication, at permissive temperature for cell growth. A significant fraction of replicated plasmid molecules tend to localize close together on one side of the cell, which may result in failure to pass the plasmid to one of the two daughter cells upon cell division. By contrast, an ftsH null mutant carrying the suppressor mutation sfhC did not affect partitioning of the plasmid. The sfhC mutation also suppressed defective maintenance in temperature-sensitive ftsH mutants. Using this new phenotype caused by ftsH mutations, we also isolated a new temperature-sensitive ftsH mutant. Mutations in ftsH cause an increase in the lipopolysaccharide/phospholipid ratio due to stabilization of the lpxC gene product, which is involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis and is a substrate for proteolysis by the FtsH protease. It is likely that altered membrane structure affects the localization or activity of a putative plasmid partitioning apparatus located at positions equivalent to 1/4 and 3/4 of the cell length.

The nutrient loading of groundwater was highly variable both spatially and temporally, with elevated nitrate-N levels reaching 163 mg times l super(-1). The elevated nutrient concentrations in the groundwater were directly related to the timing of land-surface application of fertilisers. The nutrient loading to the estuary, via subsurface irrigation return flow was calculated using Darcy's equation together with the mean concentration of nutrients found in groundwater in the Loerie Flats area. Results indicate that an average of 0.52 t nitrate-N, 0.02 t nitrite-N and 0.10 t of total phosphorus enter the Gamtoos Estuary from the 5.5 km super(2) Loerie Flats area on an annual basis. Such nutrient loads emanate from less than 20% of the total agricultural area bordering the estuary. Despite the elevated nutrient input to the estuary via groundwater discharge, the nutrient content of the estuary was generally low, but at times elevated concentrations of nutrients were recorded in the upper estuary. It was found that estuarine mixing processes and dilution, with adequate flushing have prevented the periods of low quality water from persisting in the Gamtoos Estuary. JF - Water S. A.

Micropterans in other species in the clade have lower fecundity than their mother, and these species are considered eusocial. There is no such reproductive skew in O. morrisi, and the species is not eusocial by any definition. The volume of O. morrisi galls is between 4 and 20 times greater in than eusocial species in the clade and the dispersing-brood size varies between 5 and 15 times larger than that of other species. The lack of skew in O. morrisi could be associated with large gall volume, reducing competition between females for space and feeding sites for their offspring. As O. morrisi is in a lineage basal to eusocial Oncothrips, we also discuss selective factors for the evolution of a non-dispersing fighting morph in this clade. The costs involved in dispersal and latency to reproduction may have lowered the selective threshold for the evolution of a non-dispersing morph. Once non-dispersal evolved, selection to defend one's offspring may have promoted the evolution of soldier-like morphology and behaviour.

Highly related toxins are also produced by other important bacterial pathogens. CDT activity requires the function of three genes: cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC. Recent studies have established that CdtB is the active subunit of CDT, exerting its effect as a nuclease that damages the DNA and triggers cell cycle arrest. Microinjection of CdtB into target cells led to G sub(2)/M arrest and cytoplasmic distention, in a manner indistinguishable from that caused by CDT treatment. Despite this progress, nothing is known about the composition of the CDT holotoxin or the function of CdtA and CdtC. We show here that, when applied individually, purified CdtA, CdtB, or CdtC does not exhibit toxic activity. In contrast, CdtA, CdtB, and CdtC when combined, interact with one another to form an active tripartite holotoxin that exhibits full cellular toxicity. CdtA has a domain that shares similarity with the B chain of ricin-related toxins. We therefore proposed that CDT is a tripartite toxin composed of CdtB as the enzymatically active subunit and of CdtA and CdtC as the heterodimeric B subunit required for the delivery of CdtB.

The most important forest tree hybrids in this genera include the inter-specific Pinus hybrids in USA, Korea and Australia. Of those hybrids that are used commercially, by far the most common are first generation crosses. In particular, these hybrids appear to be most successful when they are planted in areas outside the normal plantation zones of at least one of the parent species. Generalisations about genotype x environment interactions across genera were not found, and interactions seemed to be specific to the hybrid concerned. Published estimates of hybrid genetic parameters were not common, but the following general trends were found: (i) heritabilities calculated from hybrid populations were usually larger when compared to pure species estimates; (ii) dominance variance varied with taxon, trait and age; (iii) epistatic variance, although only estimated in one case, was negligible when compared with the additive and dominance effects. It is possible that inflated heritability estimates were obtained because the infinitesimal model may not be appropriate in hybrid populations. Other alternative models should be investigated in the future. The ability to reliably predict hybrid progeny performance from general combining abilities of pure species populations depended on trait and hybrid, although it appeared that this ratio was greater for traits of higher heritability. No consistent evidence was found to support the hypothesis that hybrids may be more adaptable across environments due to their greater heterozygosity and therefore their ability to buffer different environmental stresses. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of how hybrids behave, some hybrid combinations are without doubt highly successful, and the impact of the use of hybrids in commercial forestry should not be underestimated.

AN - 1521392264; 5516394 AB - In analysing any particular marine planning option, policy makers will be concerned with the economic impacts of that option. In particular they will be concerned with cost effectiveness and the scope for trade-offs between the environmental benefits and social costs. To make these assessments information is required on the economic costs of the proposed restriction and the effective integration of this information into the marine planning process. In Australia, such a process of assessment was developed for the forest industry. The Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) process involved detailed assessments of the biological and economic implications of alternative forest conservation options. A part of this process, ABARE collaborated with biologists to develop a computer based reserve design tool that allocated planning units (small, relatively homogeneous areas that partition the study region) to alternative land uses. This was done by taking into account specified quantitative environmental objectives, the opportunity cost of land use changes and a measure of the shape of the reserve system. The optimisation was performed using a simulated annealing algorithm. The tool can be linked to a GIS based decision support system so that the computer generated designs may be refined and brought into stakeholder negotiations. The tools that were developed are quite general and may be fairly readily applied to other problems. In this paper, the application of the methodology to the design of marine protected areas is explored. JF - Fish. Cent. Res. Rep.

Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring was conducted in an airport for 8 h while the participants alternated 2 h periods in nonsmoking and smoking areas. In both areas, the subjects engaged in the same types of activities. Results showed that nicotine and respiratory suspended particle levels were substantially higher in the smoking area, and mean heart rate was 1.76 beat/min higher. Measures of heart rate variability were consistently lower during periods in the smoking area, and mean heart rate was correlated negatively with all measures of heart rate variability. The estimated associations between heart rate variability and environmental tobacco smoke exposure were not sensitive to controlling for other nonexposure variables.

In addition, the binding potency of the oligomers to human estrogen receptor alpha was determined in a non-RI receptor competitive binding assay. 17 beta -Estradiol was used as the positive control. Results showed that six of the oligomers induced proliferation of MCF-7 cells, including cis-1,2-diphenyl cyclobutane, trans-1,2-diphenyl cyclobutane, and the styrene trimers, 2,4,6-triphenyl-1-hexene, 1a-phenyl-4e-(1'-phenylethyl)tetralin, 1e-phenyl-4a-(1'-phenylethyl)tetralin, and 1e-phenyl-4e-(1'-phenylethyl)tetralin. Most of the styrene trimers and dimers also exhibited binding affinity for human estrogen receptor alpha , with the binding affinity of the trimers higher than that of the dimers. The results suggested that the cell proliferative effect of the styrene oligomers was caused by their binding to human estrogen receptor alpha .

Body weights of female offspring of bisphenol A-exposed animals were higher than those of controls, Male offspring birth weights were also higher, but the increase persisted longer in females. Most females exposed perinatally to the high dose of bisphenol A failed to exhibit evidence of regular estrous cycles when examined at four and six months, but the defect varied in individual females. The female offspring of high-dose females also had significantly lower levels of plasma lutenizing hormone (LH) levels compared to controls. Exposure to the same levels of bisphenol A given to pregnant and lactating mothers was not able to stimulate a uterotropic response in ovariectomized postpubertal females.

Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and S. purpuratus were used, which were exposed to chlorpyrifos and dieldrin. Results showed that dieldrin had little or no effect on embryonic or larval development up to the start of active feeding. Chlorpyrifos, however, evoked marked concentration- and stage-dependent developmental anomalies in both species. The data suggested that chlorpyrifos exposure, mediated through its effects on protein kinase C and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, led to a change in cell phenotype.

Here, an overview is presented of the problem, noting exposure scenarios, and the variety of infectious agents and their mechanisms of survival. Data gleaned from the literature are cited in an assessment of the infections and illnesses associated with exposure to marine water, including gastrointestinal, respiratory, dermatologic, and ear, nose, and throat infections, which are not uncommon after recreational or occupational uses of marine water. In addition to monitoring indicator organisms, including total and thermotolerant coliforms, specific pathogens, and bacteriophages, environmental risk factors, such as algal blooms, may be useful in predicting disease events. Recommendations are proposed for enhancing surveillance, and public-health policy and regulatory issues are considered.

In this study, neonatal rats were exposed via gavage from neonatal days 1 through 20 to TCDD or to a mixture containing PCBs, p,p'-DDT, and p,p'-DDE, and effects on the development of MNU-induced mammary tumors were examined. DDT, DDE, and PCB congeners detected in more than 75% of breast-milk samples from Canadian women were included in the mixture according to the median concentrations in milk fat. Groups not treated with MNU showed very few mammary lesions compared to all groups treated with MNU, and the most abundant lesions were benign hyperplasia of mammary cells within terminal end buds and hyperplasia of alveolar and lobular structures. Both TCDD and the highest dose of the mixture modulated the development of MNU-induced mammary tumors. In the absence of MNU, the mixture did not induce the development of abnormal mammary structures. Most of the observed palpable tumors were from the abdominal-inguinal glands. The highest dose of the mixture delayed the development of palpable tumors, but the MNUTCDD treatment did not.

Brevetoxins are associated with red tides. Spiking experiments were conducted using rat, dolphin, and menhaden blood. In the method, blood was collected and applied to a 0.5-in diameter circle of a specially prepared card and allowed to dry, and the blood spots were then extracted and analyzed. Results showed that brevetoxin could be extracted from the dried spots from the collection cards and that there was a linear recovery of the toxins.

The latency periods used were 10 yr. Log-normal models were used to interpret the data, using observed cases as the dependent variable. The extensive data are tabulated. No excess mortality for tumor sites as a whole was observed in areas around the nuclear power plants. For the fuel cycle facilities, however, statistically significant excess mortality was detected for lung, bone, ovarian, renal, and colorectal cancer.

A concomitant large variation of sex ratios in tumor incidence was noted, ranging from zero in Denmark to 50% in Calais, France. In most cases, the incidence of tumors in males was uniformly greater than in females. The socioeconomic data relative to the female condition were collected in 95 Italian provinces and in 37 European countries, and the overall data were subjected to principal component analysis. In both Italy and throughout Europe, the sex difference in tumor incidence correlated with female socioeconomic condition indicators, with higher sexual social equality associated with lower differential tumor incidence.

The increasing number of males preceded the period of industrialization and introduction of pesticides and synthetic hormones. This phenomenon is examined, focusing on the maturation of the oocyte and liquefaction of the cervical mucus in animal and human reproduction. It is argued that male-biased loss of pathologic conceptuses entails reversal of the secondary sex ratio at birth, and the male-biased loss of children and adults affects the decline of the tertiary sex ratio during life, both of which cause an increasing gender gap.

Uptake of the contaminants was assessed in relation to the effects of chyme, bile, and oleic acid as a fatty acid. Results indicated that most of the contaminants accumulated into the cells. With increasing exposure time, the total amount of contaminant in the different compartments increased, but the distribution among the compartments remained similar. Contaminants sorbed to bile, proteins, and oleic acid were also found to contribute to the uptake flux toward the Caco-2 cells.

The nominal exposure concentrations were 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, or 7.5 mg/l. Results showed that o,p'-DDT concentrations greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/l significantly reduced survival in the two-week exposure. In both exposures, fish were larger where survivorship was lower. Exposure did not cause any significant change in vitellogenin in juvenile or adult fish in the two-week exposure, but with longer exposure, vitellogenin production was induced in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Developmental exposure to o,p'-DDT caused a female-skewed sex ratio in adults, but ovarian and testicular morphology of adults did not differ between treated and control fish. Developmental exposure to o,p'-DDT appeared to have a relatively small impact on female fecundity, but female and male fertility and fitness were reduced significantly.

Two basic issues have stimulated calls for reforming the electric power industry: whether to encourage nonutility generation and whether to permit utilities to diversify into nonregulated activities. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 removed several regulatory barriers to entry into electricity generation to increase competition of electricity supply, and the question that now emerges is whether further federal legislative action is desirable to encourage competition in the electric utility sector and at what speed should this change occur. Several issues in this area are examined that may be addressed by comprehensive legislation in the near future: transmission issues, stranded costs, air-pollution issues, and calls for additional electric regulatory reform of the Public Utility Holding Company Act, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, and retail wheeling. Recent developments in the area of electricity supply in California are highlighted, as are specific pieces of House and Senate legislation.

The Act was enacted in 1948, but was revised totally in 1972. The most recent amendments were enacted in 1987, and since then, EPA, the states, and industry continue to implement the 1987 amendments. The implementation issues addressed here include the Total Maximum Daily Load requirements, which set the maximum amount of pollution that a waterbody can receive without violating water-quality standards, the nonpoint-pollution management provisions, the state revolving fund provisions aimed at assisting wastewater-treatment-plant construction, stormwater discharges, combined and separate sewer overflows, and wetlands management. During the Clinton Administration, EPA was reinvented to be more efficient, and three categories of activities were promulgated: a performance partnership system between the agency and the states, new regulatory partnerships between EPA and industry, and program-specific initiatives. One of these initiatives was the Clean Water Initiative that involved four concepts: utilize collaborative watershed-based partnerships to clean up impaired waters; maintain strong federal and state standards; call upon federal natural-resource and conservation agencies to assist in restoring and protecting watersheds; and ensure that officials have improved information in decision-making. Appropriation issues for the Clean Water Act amendments are addressed.

Over the past four Congresses, efforts have been made to make changes in the law to address criticisms of slow cleanups, overly stringent cleanup requirements, and unfair liability rules. To date, none has reached the floor of either chamber, but President Bush cited brownfields cleanup as an environmental goal during his presidential campaign. A brief summary is provided of the hazardous-waste-site cleanup program, and several issues are discussed that have challenged the quest to reauthorize CERCLA. These include revenue issues, the concept of retroactive liability, the cleanup standards, the use of natural resource damage valuations in assessing penalties, and giving states more control over the Superfund program. The actions taken so far on these issues in the 107th Congress are noted, as are efforts to expand the brownfields program.

The ultimate goal is to develop useful energy from a fusion-powered reactor. An overview is provided of the nation's magnetic fusion energy research program that began in 1951. Since then, the US has spent over $16.6 billion. The appropriations for FY2000 and FY2001, and the FY2002 funding request and House appropriations are provided. In 1996, program restructuring began, which resulted in a significant shift in focus from concern about fusion energy technology development to concentrating on plasma and fusion science and technology research. A number of reports are summarized that have resulted from a Congressional mandate to join the energy aspects of the inertial confinement fusion program and the magnetic fusion energy research effort.

Though the roots of modern economics lie, intellectually speaking, in the thought of Aristotle, medieval philosophers, and the sixteenth-century Spanish Scholastics, there is little doubt that the dominant philosophical and anthropological influences on most modern economic thought have been generally positivistic in nature. Even today, there are many economists who are relatively uninformed of the ultimate roots of their discipline, and who have never questioned the moral-anthropological assumptions that underlie much of their work.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Ways and Means. House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session. AN - 62263898; ED464705 AB - These hearings transcripts compile testimony before the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Ways and Means focusing on the performance of the child support enforcement program and providing information on current child support and fatherhood proposals. Oral testimony was heard from eight invited witnesses. Three members of Congress discussed proposals to strengthen child support enforcement through changing the tax code and allowing support money to flow directly to the child's mother rather than to the state. Representatives from various advocacy and community organizations discussed the need to reduce out-of-wedlock births, simplify child support distribution, eliminate the cap on child support federal incentive funding, provide support and help to fathers who want to pay child support but cannot, and emphasize fatherhood as well as marriage in welfare reform authorization. Witnesses emphasized that the child support reform enacted in 1996 substantially improved the performance of the child support program; they further asserted that H.R. 1471 and other proposals illustrate the progression away from a child support system focused on cost recovery to one promoting family self-sufficiency, noting that assignment and distribution reforms in H.R. 1471 would increase child support for poor children and would also fund demonstration projects serving low-income noncustodial parents. Thirty submissions for the record from advocacy organizations and parents examined issues related to fathers' rights, described problems with the current child support system in particular and with welfare reform in general, detailed social consequences of fatherlessness on children, and discussed issues related to paternity establishment. These submissions also argued that proposed legislation does not address the true causes of poverty in America and fails to deal with domestic violence issues, and described problems in the family court system. Questions from the chair to the panel included one regarding a projected financing gap in the child support program as a result of declining welfare caseloads.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property of the Committee on the Judiciary on S. 487. House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session. AN - 62247823; ED456838 AB - This document presents the proceedings from a legislative hearing before the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives on S. 487, the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act of 2001, popularly known as the TEACH Act. The TEACH Act amends sections 110(2) and 112 of the Copyright Act to facilitate the growth and development of digital distance education. It permits governmental bodies and nonprofit educational entities to engage in the same types of mediated instructional activities found in the traditional classroom via digital distance education, while at the same time, protecting the rights of their markets and potential infringement. An opening statement was given by the Honorable Howard Coble, a representative in Congress from North Carolina, and Chairman of the Subcommittee, followed by a prepared statement of the Honorable Howard L. Berman, a representative in Congress from California. Oral testimonies and prepared statements were given by three witnesses. Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights, was the first witness, and represented the views of the Copyright Office on the TEACH Act. In her statement, Marybeth Peters concluded: as a whole, the package is balanced; it will benefit education in the United States and will not unduly harm copyright owners; and the Copyright Office strongly supports the carefully negotiated compromise reflected in the TEACH Act as passed by the Senate. The second witness was Allan R. Adler, Vice President, Legal and Government Affairs, Association of American Publishers, Inc. (AAP). Allan Adler's statement concluded: from the AAP's perspective, the compromise substantially addresses the publishers' main concerns regarding the revised exemption's potential substitution for sales and exposure of copyrighted works to unauthorized online reproduction and distribution; and the AAP hopes the Subcommittee will heed their urging and suggestion to move the Senate passed version of the TEACH Act through the House process for passage without amendment. The final witness was John C. Vaughn, Executive Vice President, Association of American Universities. John Vaughn's statement concluded that the TEACH Act, as passed by the Senate, will help develop the full potential of online distance education while effectively protecting the interests of copyright owners. A period of questioning followed, with Zoe Lofgren, California, joining.

Six schooling fish had lower approach rates than solitary fish (25% and 37% of total advances, respectively). This result indicated that schooling fish were better at reducing the confusion effect of swarming prey, resulting in more efficient feeding. In larger areas, schools achieved higher rates of successful attacks (19 prey/fish in the large tank, compared with 11 prey/fish in the smaller tank). There was no influence on the feeding success of individual fish when changes were made to the number of prey presented to each fish. Nearest neighbour distances were smallest in the absence of prey, and increased with the introduction of prey and again in an attack sequence. Six fish schooled more cohesively than three fish, indicating increased benefits of schooling in larger groups that contribute to advanced vigilance and foraging techniques.

Lymphocyte response to serum protein complexed with metal from implant alloy degradation was investigated in this in vitro study using primary human lymphocytes from healthy volunteers (n = 10). Cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy (Co-Cr-Mo, ASTM F-75) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F-136) beads (70 km) were incubated in agitated human serum at 37 degrees Celsius to simulate naturally occurring metal implant alloy degradation processes. Particulate free serum samples, which were incubated with metal, were then separated into molecular weight based fractions. The amounts of soluble Cr and Ti within each serum fraction were measured and correlated with lymphocyte proliferation response to the individual serum fractions. Lymphocytes from each subject were cultured with 11 autologous molecular weight based serum fractions either with or without added metal. Two molecular weight ranges of human serum proteins were associated with the binding of Cr and Ti from Co-Cr-Mo and Ti implant alloy degradation (at < 30 and 180-330 kDa). High molecular weight serum proteins (- 180 kDa) demonstrated greater lymphocyte reactivity when complexed with metal released from Co-Cr-Mo alloy and Ti alloy than with low (5-30 kDa) and midrange (30-77 kDa) serum proteins. When the amount of lymphocyte stimulation was normalized to both the moles of metal and the moles of protein within each fraction (Metal-Protein Complex Reactivity Index, MPCRI), Cr from Co-Cr-Mo alloy degradation demonstrated approximately 10 fold greater reactivity than Ti in the higher molecular weight serum proteins (- 180-250 kDa). This in vitro study demonstrated a lymphocyte proliferative response to both Co-Cr-Mo and Ti alloy metalloprotein degradation products. This response was greatest when the metals were complexed with high molecular weight proteins, and with metal-protein complexes formed from Co-Cr-Mo alloy degradation.

AN - 70897612; 11389833 AB - K1 killer strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbor RNA viruses that mediate secretion of K1, a protein toxin that kills virus-free cells. Recently, external K1 toxin was shown to directly activate TOK1 channels in the plasma membranes of sensitive yeast cells, leading to excess potassium flux and cell death. Here, a mechanism by which killer cells resist their own toxin is shown: internal toxin inhibits TOK1 channels and suppresses activation by external toxin.

In one group of 17 applicators' applying to existing properties, breathing zone air concentration correlated (P<0.05) with ambient air temperature (15-38 degrees C). The questionnaire results (29 respondents) indicated applicators' practices led to increased exposure, in particular concerning poor usage and condition of protective equipment and a high frequency of splashes and spills onto the body. Prevention of deposition on clothing, in particular on the lower body is suggested, as well as improved working practices.

A new 112-yr coral-based sea surface temperature (SST) reconstruction from Palmyra Island in the central tropical Pacific (CTP) exhibits strong decadal variability with an amplitude of roughly 0.3 degrees C. A 12-13yr-period signal in this coral record is highly coherent with long equatorial Atlantic and Indian Ocean climate records, implying a unified phenomenon. The Atlantic pattern suggests that it may fall under direct influence of anomalous SST in the CTP, as it does over inter annual timescales, while the Indian Ocean pattern exhibits maximum response during the switch between warm/cold states in the tropical Pacific. The results demonstrate that the CTP has played a significant role in determining the expression of global decadal climate variability over the twentieth century.

AN - 21268078; 11703806 AB - This article develops and assesses novel indicators of respiratory and other morbidity and mortality following London's lethal smog in the winter of 1952. Public health insurance claims, hospital admission rates for cardiac and respiratory disease, pneumonia cases, mortality records, influenza reports, temperature, and air pollutant concentrations are analyzed for December-February 1952-1953 and compared with those for the previous year or years. Mortality rates for the smog episode from December 1952 to February 1953 were 50-300% higher than the previous year. Claims that the smog only elevated health risks during and immediately following the peak fog 5-9 December 1952 and that an influenza epidemic accounted fully for persisting mortality increases in the first 2 months of 1953 are rejected. We estimate about 12,000 excess deaths occurred from December 1952 through February 1953 because of acute and persisting effects of the 1952 London smog. Pollution levels during the London smog were 5-19 times above current regulatory standards and guidelines and approximate current levels in some rapidly developing regions. Ambient pollution in many regions poses serious risks to public health.

AN - 21259699; 11703805 AB - Although most available evidence relating air pollution and mortality was obtained for adults, pollution has been also associated with increased mortality in children, but in a significantly smaller number of studies. This study was designed to evaluate the association between child mortality and air pollution in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 1994 to 1997. Daily records of mortality due to respiratory diseases for children under 5 years of age were obtained from the municipal mortality information improvement program. Daily concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)), carbon monoxide (CO), inhalable particulate matter less than 10 microm in diameter (PM(10)), and ozone were obtained from the state air pollution controlling agency. Information on minimum daily temperature and on relative humidity were obtained from the Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics of the University of Sao Paulo. Statistical analysis was performed through generalized additive models considering a Poisson response distribution and a log link. Explanatory variables were time, temperature, humidity, and pollutant concentrations. The loess smoother was applied to time (in order to model seasonality) and temperature. Significant associations between mortality and concentrations of CO, SO(2), and PM(10) were detected. The coefficients (and standard errors) of these three pollutants were 0.0306 (0.0076), 0.0055 (0.0016), and 0.0014 (0.0006), respectively. The observed associations were dose dependent and quite evident after a short period of exposure (2 days). According to the proposed model and considering the mean of the pollutant concentration during the period of the study, the estimated proportions of respiratory deaths attributed to CO, SO(2), and PM(10), when considered individually, are around 15, 13, and 7%, respectively.

AN - 21257907; 11704988 AB - Epidemiologic reports by C.A. Pope III et. al. demonstrated that in the Utah Valley, closure of an open-hearth steel mill over the winter of 1987 was associated with reductions in respiratory disease and related hospital admissions in valley residents. To better examine the relationship between plant-associated changes in ambient particulate matter (PM) and respiratory health effects, we obtained total suspended particulate filters originally collected near the steel mill during the winter of 1986 (before closure), 1987 (during closure), and 1988 (after plant reopening). PM subcomponents were water-extracted from these filters and Sprague-Dawley rats were intratracheally instilled with equivalent masses of extract. Data indicated that 24 hr later, rats exposed to 1986 or 1988 extracts developed significant pulmonary injury and neutrophilic inflammation. Additionally, 50% of rats exposed to 1986 or 1988 extracts had increased airway responsiveness to acetylcholine, compared to 17 and 25% of rats exposed to saline or the 1987 extract, respectively. By 96 hr, these effects were largely resolved except for increases in lung lavage fluid neutrophils and lymphocytes in 1986 extract-exposed rats. Analogous effects were observed with lung histologic assessment. Extract analysis using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy demonstrated in all three extracts nearly 70% of the mass appeared to be sodium-based salts derived from the glass filter matrix. Interestingly, relative to the 1987 extract, the 1986/1988 extracts contained more sulfate, cationic salts (i.e., calcium, potassium, magnesium), and certain metals (i.e., copper, zinc, iron, lead, strontium, arsenic, manganese, nickel). Although total metal content was (3/4) 1% of the extracts by mass, the greater quantity detected in the 1986 and 1988 extracts suggests metals may be important determinants of the pulmonary toxicity observed. In conclusion, the pulmonary effects induced by exposure of rats to water-based extracts of local ambient PM filters were in good accord with the cross-sectional epidemiologic reports of adverse respiratory health effects in Utah Valley residents.

AN - 21245312; 7674173 AB - Recent studies have linked air pollution to tens of thousands of premature cardiovascular deaths per year. The mechanisms of such associations remain unclear. In this study we examine the association between blood markers of cardiovascular risk and air pollution in a national sample of the U.S. population. Air pollution concentrations were merged to subjects in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) in the United States, and the association with fibrinogen levels and counts of platelets and white blood cells were examined. The subjects in NHANES III are a representative sample of the U.S. population. Regressions controlled for age, race, sex, body mass index, current smoking, and number of cigarettes per day. The complex survey design was dealt with using mixed models with a random sampling site effect. In single-pollutant models, PM(10) (particulate matter with a mass median aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microm) was associated with all three outcomes (p< 0.05): Sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) was significantly associated only with white cell counts, nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) with platelet counts and fibrinogen, and ozone with none of the outcomes. In two-pollutant models, PM(10) remained a significant predictor of white cell counts controlling for SO(2) but not vice versa. PM(10) was marginally significant in a model for platelet counts with NO(2), and the sign of the NO(2) coefficient was reversed. These results were stable with control for indoor exposures (wood stoves, environmental tobacco smoke, gas stoves, fireplaces), dietary risk factors (saturated fat, alcohol, caffeine intake, n-3 fatty acids), and serum cholesterol. The magnitude of the effects are modest [e.g., 13 microg/dL fibrinogen for an interquartile range (IQR) change in PM(subscript)10(/subscript), 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.6-22.1 mg/dL]. However, the odds ratio of being in the top 10% of fibrinogen for the same IQR change was 1.77 (95% CI 1.26-2.49). These effects provide considerable biologic plausibility to the mortality studies. PM(10), but not gaseous air pollutants, is associated with blood markers of cardiovascular risk, and this may explain epidemiologic associations with early deaths.

AN - 21245297; 7697065 AB - There has been increased concern over health effects related to potential exposure of building occupants to bioaerosols. We report the case of a worker with a respiratory illness related to bioaerosol exposure in a water-damaged building with extensive fungal contamination. We performed environmental tests to evaluate potential exposure to fungi, and we used mycotoxin-specific IgG antibody in serologic studies in the attempt to evaluate exposure to mycotoxins. Extensive fungal contamination was documented in many areas of the building. Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Stachybotrys species were the most predominant fungi found in air sampling. Our serologic test was not useful in differentiating workers who were probably occupationally exposed to mycotoxins from those who were not; however, it did yield evidence that individuals may make specific IgG antibodies to macrocyclic tricothecene mycotoxins. Further research is needed concerning health effects related to bioaerosol exposures, particularly regarding markers of exposure to specific fungi that may produce mycotoxins. In the absence of clinical tools specific for evaluation of mycotoxin-related illness, a systematic clinical approach for evaluating persons with suspected building-related respiratory illness is warranted.

In this study different swarm sizes of mysids were forced to perform escape responses by exposing them to jets of ammonium hydroxide, while measuring their oxygen uptake. Swarms of 200 individuals showed no significant difference in oxygen consumption with or without the ammonium treatment. In contrast, swarms of 100 showed a significant increase of around 45% oxygen uptake when exposed to ammonium. In conjunction with earlier demonstrations of increased feeding success and lower oxygen uptake when aggregated, this work clearly confirms the energetic benefits of being in a larger social group rather than a smaller one or remaining solitary.

Adventitious buds were induced at high frequency with 0.05 mu M thidiazuron in combination with 0.2 mu M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 5 mu M alpha -naphthaleneacetic acid. Culture of explants in the dark inhibited bud induction, but up to 86% of cotyledons, longitudinally split just prior to culture, produced adventitious buds in the light. Development of buds into shoots occurred only at low frequency, after transfer to media containing N super(6)-benzylaminopurine.

Six calanoid and five cyclopoid species were identified from 37 ponds and lakes located in the region between 55 degree N and 59 degree N. Species diversity was generally low, ranging from 0 to 4 species per lake. Dominant species were Leptodiaptomus minutus and Acanthocyclops vernalis. The species assemblages showed high affinity with those found in forested regions of southern Quebec. Exceptions were Leptodiaptomus tyrrelli, previously only recorded west of Hudson Bay, and Hesperodiaptomus arcticus, hitherto recorded north of 58 degree N. Relationships between the lakes, species, and environmental variables were explored using multivariate analysis. Lakes situated along the coast and on two offshore islands clustered together and were characterised by higher conductivity and pH than those lakes located further inland. Leptodiaptomus tyrrelli was common in these coastal lakes. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed statistically significant relationships between copepod distributions and conductivity, dissolved organic carbon and pH. These three variables accounted for 70% of the variation in the species' distribution.

In a first trial cambium bark wounds on smooth- and rough-barked trees were inoculated with the mycelium of nine species of canker fungi, including Endothia gyrosa. In a second trial spores or mycelium of E. gyrosa were applied directly onto undamaged or superficially wounded bark surfaces. Infection subsequent to artificial inoculation via wounding (whatever the wounding technique or type of inoculum) resulted in significantly larger external lesions (mean lesion area up to 35.6 cm super(2) 20 months after inoculation) on smooth bark compared with those on rough bark (up to 19.0 cm super(2)). Microscopic studies of infected rough and smooth bark suggest that, once smooth bark is compromised by wounding and artificial inoculation, the particular anatomical structure of smooth bark may offer less mechanical resistance to postpenetration hyphal spread in comparison with rough bark. It is suggested that at a pre-penetration stage under natural conditions spores of E. gyrosa more easily infect rough bark via cracks associated with this type of bark but not present in smooth bark.

The diffusion coefficient of the chemoattractant was estimated to be between 0.93310 super(-5) cm super(2) s super(-1) and 0.12410 super(-5) cm super(2) s super(-1); the release rate of the chemoattractant from the egg was estimated at 10.6 pg s super(-1), and the chemoattractant threshold concentration required to elicit sperm motility was estimated at between 91.3 mg ml super(-1) and 9.31 mg ml super(-1). Our results show that sperm chemoattractants diffuse rapidly from the 170- mu m-diameter egg to create an effective egg size (the distance at which free-swimming sperm detect, and are attracted to, the egg membrane) of 2 mm diameter. If even half of the sperm encountering this chemoattractant halo subsequently reach the egg membrane, fertilization success will increase more than 50-fold. This difference is substantial in comparison to the changes in fertilization success, which accrue from changes in physical egg size. We suggest that current theory linking the evolution of marine-invertebrate egg size with fertilization success should be considered with caution until the effects of chemoattractant compounds on fertilization success are better understood.

The proceeds of the levy supported increased treatment, public education and other prevention activities. Towards the end of the study period (the first 4 years) other positive initiatives were introduced: the lowering of the legal limit for drivers to 0.05 mg/ml and a special levy on cask wine. Indicators of alcohol-related harm were tracked from 1980 to June 30 1996 and developed from hospital, mortality and road crash data. In each case appropriate control data from the same source was employed to control for other possible confounding effects. Alcohol aetiological fractions for major alcohol-related causes of death were estimated taking account of the level of high-risk alcohol use in the Northern Territory. Multiple linear regression and time-series analyses were employed to test for any effect coinciding with the introduction of LWA. There were reductions in estimated alcohol-caused deaths from acute conditions (road deaths 34.5%, other 23.4%) and in road crash injuries requiring hospital treatment (28.3%). In addition there were substantial reductions in per capita alcohol consumption and self-reported hazardous and harmful consumption via surveys. These reductions were evident immediately from the outset of the introduction of LWA and were largely sustained throughout the 4 years studied. The data reported here suggest that significant health and safety benefits accrued to the people of the Northern Territory during the first 4 years of the Living With Alcohol programme. This benefit is likely to be due to several factors: the effect of the levy on alcohol consumption, other factors depressing alcohol consumption and the effect of the LWA programme itself.

Field data on the effect of flower picking on seed availability over 13 years were available for the most heavily exploited wildflower in Australia, Banksia hookeriana, a fire-killed shrub restricted to a 2000 km super(2) area in the northern sandplains of southwestern Australia. These were combined with demographic data from 14 long-term monitoring plots scattered over the landscape. Growing conditions were termed `good' to `poor' depending on how they affected the number of inflorescences produced, and recruitment of young plants. A computer model was developed based on best-fit equations for all key processes accounting for seed and seedling production and loss. The model indicates that self-replacement (maintenance of a stable population size at a given age from one generation to the next) is unlikely for the first 5-11 years following fire, depending on growing conditions, even in the absence of picking. Picking has little effect on the minimum fire interval for self-replacement under good growing conditions, but, under poor conditions, minimum fire interval rises from 12 years at 0% picking to 20 years at 30% picking. Miscalculation of the intensity of picking allowable could have serious consequences for conservation of wild populations, as fires are most likely at 10-20 year intervals. A second computer model took inter-fire establishment into account. It gave similar results for self-replacement conditions, but also indicated that the level of picking that could be sustained diminishes sharply once fires occur at intervals > 20 years. We suggest caution be exercised by conservation authorities in setting the age to first picking and the levels of picking permitted for wild populations of Banksia hookeriana. Our models are suitable for a wide range of vulnerable, fire-killed species at present harvested from the wild.

We have previously shown that the 3' non-coding region (Me1 3') controls quantitative expression of the gene. We wondered whether Me1 3' can increase expression when combined with heterologous promoters. We tested a highly expressed, constitutive promoter, the S4 promoter from subterranean clover stunt virus, and a highly expressed, leaf-specific promoter, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a /b-binding protein gene 3 (Lhcb3) promoter of Arabidopsis thaliana. Promoter-3'-end combinations were tested in transgenic C sub(4) Flaveria plants and C sub(3) tobacco. We found that Me1 3' increased expression of the gusA reporter gene several-fold in leaves of both species in combination with either of the promoters. In both cases Me1 3' does not alter the expression pattern for either promoter. We conclude that Me1 3' can be used as a transcription terminator to increase transgene expression in C sub(3) dicot plants.

Using published information, including that generated by local studies in each city, the public-health impacts are estimated based on existing transportation and energy technologies that reduce the carbon intensity of fuels. Concentrationresponse coefficients are used that were derived from studies conducted in these or similar cities. The total effects due to expected reductions in concentrations of particulate matter and ozone are estimated at an avoidance of nearly 64,000 premature deaths if only modest reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions are undertaken now. In addition, at least 65,000 new cases of chronic bronchitis, 91,000 hospital admissions, and 787,000 emergency-room visits are avoided. Other important effects include the avoidance of 6.1 million asthma attacks, 37 million lost work days, and 4100 premature deaths of infants less than 1 yr of age.

The development of an evolving model is described, which incorporates participation of groups that serve the migrant farmworker community and advocate for their unique health concerns and needs, particularly in terms of their exposure to pesticides. The research was conducted in Oregon, where the community partner was the Oregon Child Development Coalition. Data were compiled on the migrant farmworker community in the state, and over 4 yr, the ongoing dialogue and participation by university and community researchers resulted in a research model that includes components key to any participatory model, but also components that differ from other projects and are the result of the expressed desires of the community agency and the research institution. The evolving model is outlined, and an evaluation is provided of the community-based research approach taken.

In addition, parents of the study children measured outdoor NO sub(2) concentrations at the back side of their homes. The data showed that personal and outdoor NO sub(2) concentrations were significantly different among children living in areas with different degrees of urbanization and among those living in areas close to highways with different traffic densities. The indoor/outdoor ratio was larger for the very urban school compared with the other two urbanization schools. In all seasons, both personal and outdoor NO sub(2) concentrations were highest in the area with the highest degree of urbanization and lowest in the area with the lowest degree of urbanization, and the difference was calculated at 14.6 mu g/m super(3).

The three different groups of subjects consisted of adults who lived and worked in the Odean Circle area, children who lived and attended school in the Odean Circle area, and nurses and student nurses at Chulalongkorn Hospital who lived in dormitories near the hospital. Daily curbside PM sub(10) concentrations were monitored, and symptoms were reported in daily diaries, grouped into any respiratory symptoms, upper respiratory symptoms, and lower respiratory symptoms. Results revealed that the daily PM sub(10) concentrations at Chulalongkorn were correlated highly with those at Odean Circle. The most commonly reported symptoms for all three groups were cough, phlegm, nasal congestion, and sore throat, and the daily proportion of subjects reporting upper and lower respiratory symptoms was correlated across the three groups. For all three study populations, statistically significant PM sub(10) effects were noted, although the magnitude of the associations varied among the groups.

The primary pesticides used are azinphos-methyl, chlorpyrifos, parathion, phosmet, and carbaryl. In January 1999, a community-based project was initiated aimed at reducing the take-home pathway of pesticide exposure in children. A comprehensive community analysis was conducted to understand community views about pesticides. The information gathered during this part of the project is presented, and the way in which the information was used to form a Community Advisory Board is described. Interviews were conducted with potential participants, and stakeholders were identified who appeared qualified to serve on a community planning group. On the basis of information gathered in the interviews and recommendations of the subsequent community planning group, a permanent Community Advisory Board was formed. The study shows the widely varying views of different constituents around the issue of protecting children from pesticide exposures and common themes that formed the basis for collaboration and consensus on approaching the issue.

A Community and Academic Partnership to Address Farmworker Pesticide Exposure in North Carolina AN - 14585107; 10609128 AB - The farmworker population in North Carolina is estimated at 200,000 migrants and their dependents, as well as 400,000 seasonal workers living in the state year-round. A community/research partnership is described that was formed to address issues of farmworker exposure to pesticides. Called the Preventing Agricultural Chemical Exposure in North Carolina Farmworkers, it was a 4-yr project using a community-participation framework to design, implement, and evaluate interventions to reduce chemical exposure of this population. The approach centered on a partnership between academic researchers and a community-based organization. The barriers to effective collaboration in the project are elucidated, and the steps taken toward successful collaboration are identified and discussed, which involved clarifying goals, operationalizing a model for broad community involvement, and developing cultural sensitivity.

Exposure to the pollutants was estimated for the first, second, and third trimesters for each infant using recorded data on the contaminants in each city. Increased risk for term low-birth weight was found in relation to increased ambient-air levels of CO and SO sub(2), but not PM sub(10). These associations were found to be stronger for AfricanAmerican infants, especially third trimester exposures to CO. First trimester exposures to ambient levels of PM sub(10) were associated with an increased risk for term low-birth weight only among Hispanics.

A brief review is provided of what is known about the level and effects of farmworker pesticide exposure, and the concept of community-based participatory research is outlined. This type of research in public health takes a partnership approach involving community members, community organization representatives, and researchers in all aspects of the research process. This type of approach improves access to community members, increases the likelihood that the project will be culturally and educationally appropriate, and increases the sustainability of any intervention based on the research.

The nuclear weapons stockpile's tritium levels have been maintained primarily by recycling the tritium from deactivated warheads without new tritium production. Tritium production technologies are outlined briefly, and a review is presented of DOE activities from the demise of tritium production in 1988 to the present. In 1995, DOE decided to follow a dual-track approach to tritium production: purchase services of an existing commercial reactor to supply radiation for transforming lithium into tritium, and build and test a particle accelerator to drive tritium-producing nuclear reactions.

Currently, low-level waste is disposed of in large trenches at sites in South Carolina and Washington State. DOE has been considering the use of Yucca Mountain, NV, as a deep underground repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, but the site is not without controversy due to the inherent uncertainty involved in predicting waste-site performance over 10,000 yr. Several utilities have sued DOE for missing the January 31, 1998, deadline established by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act for beginning the removal of spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors. Legislation introduced in the 106th Congress to address the issue is described, which has focused on an interim storage facility at the Nevada Test Site, storage at reactor sites, the development of a permanent underground repository, and program funding. The characteristics of the major types of radioactive waste defined by DOE and NRC are identified, and the current policy and regulation regarding spent nuclear fuel and low-level radioactive waste are highlighted.

These current efforts emphasize incentives and disincentives to encourage desirable choices. One such effort has been the reintroduction of omnibus legislation known as CARA that would increase funding for acquisition of land, the restoration and protection of wildlife, coastal resources, urban parks, historic sites, and public and Indian lands, and the acquisition of easements. The status of the CARA legislation in the 107th Congress is outlined, and the major points in the debate are elucidated.

Information about smoking habits of the parents and other family members in general and during pregnancy was gathered by questionnaire. Hair nicotine concentrations were used to segregate the study population into three exposure categories, high, medium, and low. Only seven of the newborns were low-birth-weight children. However, the mean birth weight was lower and the prevalences of adverse pregnancy outcomes were higher the higher the exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, defined either by the hair nicotine concentration or questionnaire information on exposure at home and work. The risk of preterm delivery was increased in the presence of work exposure alone and especially in the presence of both work and home exposures, but not with home exposure alone.

The paired communities were close to and far away from open-cast coal mines, respectively. For each type of consultation, there was little overall difference in the crude rates between open-cast and control communities. However, there was some indication of higher crude rates in open-cast communities. Over the six-week periods, children in open-cast communities had 2.1 general practitioner consultations per person-year for skin, respiratory, and eye conditions compared to 1.5 consultations in the control communities in four out of five of the community pairs.

Risk management is the process of deciding what should be done about a specific hazard, implementing the decision, and evaluating the results. Diverse views regarding risk analysis are presented in an examination of the potential uses of risk analysis: whether it is a scientific basis for environmental decisions, whether it should be used to compare costs and environmental or health benefits, and whether priorities should be based on relative risks and risk-reduction opportunities. The use of risk analysis, of course, will depend on its information value, and to that end, key factors that determine the quality of the risk information provided are considered, and ways to promote the development and use of the best available methods for risk analysis are identified.

The most contentious are the obligated emission reductions, the responsibility of developing countries, and emissions trading and joint implementation. Under the Protocol, the US would be obligated to a cumulative reduction of its greenhouse-gas emissions of 7% below 1990 levels. In terms of the responsibility of developing nations, the Clinton Administration indicated that it would not submit the Protocol to the Senate until meaningful commitments were made by these countries. The outcome of the November 1998 fourth Conference of the Parties held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which was expected to resolve some of these more difficult issues, is outlined, as are the negotiations of the sixth Conference of the Parties held in The Hague, Netherlands. The Bush Administration Policy regarding the Kyoto Protocol, which favors an approach based on voluntary measures and market mechanisms, is described briefly.

However, no major new wetlands legislation has been enacted, even though numerous wetland protection bills have been introduced recently. During the Clinton Administration, the wetland debate was brought to the forefront, and new federal policies were announced. The important issues in the wetland debate are considered generally, looking at the definition of a wetland, their fate in terms of losses, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Section 404 is the principal federal program that provides regulatory protection for wetlands, requiring landowners or developers to obtain permits from USACE to carry out activities involving disposal of dredged or fill materials into waters of the US, including wetlands. The permitting process is outlined, as well as the use of nationwide permits, and recent judicial proceedings involving Section 404 are examined. Also discussed are the impact of agricultural activities on wetlands and methods being used to encourage landowners to protect and restore them, including Swampbuster and the Wetland Reserve Program, and the importance of wetland restoration and mitigation.

In this study, a juvenile nonhuman primate model of moderate childhood Pb intoxication and a sensitive double stable Pb isotope tracer methodology were used to examine whether oral succimer chelation affected gastrointestinal absorption and whole-body retention of Pb. Female infant rhesus moneys were used. Lead acetate was administered at a dose of approximately 3540 mu g/dl to the infant monkeys daily between 1430 and 1630 h beginning on day 8 of postpartum through age 26 weeks. Treatment with oral succimer or vehicle began at a mean age of 53 weeks and again at 65 weeks. A succimer dose of 30 mg/kg/d was given, divided into three doses per day for 5 d, and treatment continued for an additional 14 d at 20 mg/kg/d. Results showed that oral succimer treatment significantly decreased the gastrointestinal absorption of Pb, significantly increased the excretion of Pb in the urine, an decreased the net body retention of Pb.

The areas selected for study were within geographic areas represented in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study. Exposure was assessed through analysis of blood and water samples. A diary was used to gather information on home tap water use and consumption. A modified version of the Total Exposure Model was used to estimate the uptake of trihalomethanes into the bloodstream. Results revealed that the speciation and concentration of trihalomethanes in the tap water samples from the homes of study participants reflected those found in the water samples from each utility's distribution system. Statistically significant increases in blood trihalomethane levels occurred after showering for all trihalomethanes, and except for bromodichloromethane, increases in chloroform and total trihalomethane blood levels were significantly greater in Cobb County than in Corpus Christi. All relevant trihalomethane concentration and water-use data are tabulated.

In Leipzig, Germany, and its rural county, data from a detailed parent-completed questionnaire were used to explore a range of possible risk factors for exposure, and a H. pylori colonization screening test was administered to the entire 1998 school entry population. The stable isotope-aided in vivo urea breath test used is described. Among the preschool population, a total of 179 children were found to be infected with H. pylori. Among children in the city, significant associations with H. pylori positivity were found for contact with pet hamsters and travels to Asian countries. For county children, strong associations were found for drinking water from nonmunicipal sources, more than three children in the household, and contact with pet hamsters.

As a result, the land has become salinized, and the water supply has been contaminated with salt and agricultural chemicals. With sea bed desiccation, the salts and chemicals increasingly contaminate the air. An overall assessment is provided of the health situation of the region. The most serious concern is the continued spread of infectious diseases, but other adverse health effects attributed to the deteriorating environment are becoming just as troublesome. Added to this, the hospitals and health centers in the region lack essential medicines and medical equipment. The problem of separating cause and effect is discussed, as are development versus immediate humanitarian needs in the region.

Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide were chosen as indicators of air pollution from motor vehicles and residential heating, respectively. The source population consisted of all men 4075 yr of age who lived in Stockholm County at any time between 1985 and 1990, and who had lived in the County since 1950, with a maximum of 5 yr of residence outside the County. Historic data bases of ambient pollution were constructed for 1980, 1970, and 1960 by successive additions and deletions to the 1993 data base. A wide range of individual long-term average exposure was observed.

Metabolites of atrazine, chlorpyrifos, carbamates, and malathion were measured in urine samples. The metabolite of chlorpyrifos, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy), was present at detectable levels in nearly all samples, and the metabolite of carbamates, 1-naphthol, was present at detectable levels in more than half of the samples. The metabolite of malathion, malathion dicarboxylic acid, was detectable in more than a third of the samples, while the metabolite of atrazine, atrazine metcapturate, was detected infrequently. Interchild variability was significantly greater than intrachild variability for 1-naphthol and TCPy. Weighted-mean TCPy concentrations were significantly higher on a log scale in urban than in nonurban children. No clear race- or income-related trends were evident for the metabolites. Metabolite levels were not significantly higher for subjects from households reporting higher than average pesticide use.

(Updated June 22, 2001) AN - 14578035; 10607565 AB - The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars established a standard of 18 mpg in model year 1978, increasing to 27.5 mpg by model year 1985. Compliance with the standards is measured by calculating a sales-weighted mean of the fuel economies of a given automobile manufacturer's product line, with domestically produced and imported vehicles measured separately. The CAFE standards for passenger cars and light trucks for 197899 are tabulated. The issues of CAFE standards and fuel economy in general are being revisited because of the relatively recent spike in gasoline prices and the continuing loss of market share of passenger cars to larger, multi-purpose sport utility vehicles that are subject to the less-stringent light-truck fuel economy standard. How the CAFE standards have been addressed in Congress over the period 19942000, as well as in the 107th Congress, is examined and discussed, along with policy options available to induce automobile fuel conservation and increase fuel efficiency.

Corn constitutes approximately 90% of the feedstock for ethanol production in the US, with corn producers receiving farm income support and price supports. Ethanol refining and production processes are described briefly, and the use of ethanol and methyl tert-butyl ether as gasoline additives is outlined. The costs and benefits of fuel ethanol are then considered, focusing primarily on the effects on air quality and climate change and ethanol's enhanced use to reduce US reliance on oil imports. However, there are a number of policy concerns involving the use of methyl tert-butyl ether and the effects its phase-out would have on ethanol production, the new Phase 2 requirements of the reformulated gasoline program, and the controversial exemption that ethanol-blended fuels receive from the excise tax on motor fuels. Each of these is discussed in turn.

The offspring were trained to press a level to earn brief opportunities to run. The initial TCDD exposure doses were 0, 20, 60, or 180 ng/kg. Results showed that perinatal exposure to TCDD significantly reduced operant responding for wheel-running reinforcement in adult female offspring. The reduction of responding was observed across the entire range of programmed fixed-ratio values and showed a clear relationship with dose. The results appeared to be independent of estrous cycle phase.

The primary outcomes were bronchial obstruction in the first 2 yr of life and current asthma. Parental atopy was defined as a history of maternal or paternal asthma or hay fever. Results revealed that early-life exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increased the risk of bronchial obstruction, but had little effect on the risk of asthma. Parental atopy was a significant determinant of both bronchial obstruction and asthma, with maternal asthma the strongest predictor of both. The joint effect of hereditary atopy representing genetic constitution and environmental tobacco smoke was stronger than expected based on their independent effects.

The contents of 54 stomachs (50 from squid collected near Macquarie Island and 4 from squid collected near Heard Island) were examined visually, and prey remains were identified to species level where possible. Myctophid fish were the most common prey item in the stomach contents of M. ingens and were identified in 59% of stomachs. In total, teleost fish remains were found in 96% of stomachs. The lipid class and fatty acid profiles of the digestive gland and mantle tissue were analysed for 5 to 6 squid from each area, in addition to 4 stomach fluid samples taken from Heard Island animals. Mantle tissue was low in lipid, and contained high concentrations of phospholipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Digestive gland tissue had a high lipid content, with a mean value of 26.8 plus or minus 12.9% wet mass in Macquarie Island squid and 41.7 plus or minus 8.5% wet mass in Heard Island squid, and was rich in triacylglycerol (TAG) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Stomach fluid generally contained high concentrations of TAG, although 1 sample was high in wax ester. Stomach fluid was also characterised by high MUFA concentrations. The digestive gland of M. ingens grouped with the fatty acid profile of stomach fluid and some myctophid species in cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling, and appears to be a source of fatty acid dietary tracers. Thus the fatty acid profile of the digestive gland supports findings from stomach contents analyses that myctophids, particularly TAG-rich species, are an important prey group of M. ingens at Macquarie and Heard Islands. This combination of techniques has a potential to increase our knowledge of the feeding ecology of squids in the Southern Ocean.

To evaluate this effect, the vascular status of 3-month-old cardiomyopathic hamsters was assessed after daily administration of a combination of losartan (25 mg/kg, p.o.) and hydrochlorothiazide (6.5 mg/kg, p.o.) over an 8-week period. Age-matched golden hamsters were used as healthy controls. The contractile response of aortic rings to endothelin-1 was significantly higher in cardiomyopathic hamsters than in control animals. Concentration-response curves for the endothelin-1-induced contraction were displaced to the right after hydrochlorothiazide+losartan treatment (toward the curves for healthy controls); however, E(max) from treated hamsters was significantly reduced when compared to E(max) from untreated cardiomyopathic animals (1.016+/-0.073 vs. 1.346+/-0.153 g, P0.05). The acetylcholine-induced relaxation observed in cardiomyopathic animals was not improved after treatment with hydrochlorothiazide+losartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone, but the combination of these drugs increased significantly the basal production of nitric oxide (NO). Angiotensin-converting enzyme activity increased in plasma (from 29.9+/-1.23 to 41.16+/-1.82 nmol x mg(-1) x min(-1), n=8, P0.05). In conclusion, in this model of heart failure, chronic hydrochlorothiazide+losartan administration normalizes the vascular responses to endothelin-1, improves basal vascular tone, and prevents the development of cardiac and vascular hypertrophy.

AN - 77047021; 11292593 AB - Using a nonstressed chronically catheterized rat model in which the common bile duct was cannulated, we studied endotoxin-induced alterations in hepatic function by measuring changes in the maximal steady-state biliary excretion rate of the anionic dye indocyanine green (ICG). Biliary excretion of ICG was calculated from direct measurements of biliary ICG concentrations and the bile flow rate during a continuous vascular infusion of ICG. Despite significant elevations in mean peak serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentrations (90.9 +/- 16.2 ng/ml), there was no effect on mean rates of bile flow or biliary ICG clearance after administration of 100 microg/kg endotoxin at 6 or 24 h. Significant differences from mean baseline rates of bile flow and biliary ICG excretion did occur after administration of 1,000 microg/kg endotoxin (mean peak TNF-alpha 129.6 +/- 24.4 ng/ml). Furthermore, when rats were treated with up to 16 microg/kg of recombinant TNF-alpha, there was no change in mean rates of bile flow or ICG biliary clearance compared with baseline values. These data suggest that the complex regulation of biliary excretion is not mediated solely by TNF-alpha. JF - American journal of physiology.

AN - 77046285; 11292594 AB - Most models of liver dysfunction in sepsis use endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS) to induce a pathophysiological response. In our study published in this issue (Beno DWA, Uhing MR, Goto M, Chen Y, Jiyamapa-Serna VA, and Kimura RE. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 280: G858-G865, 2001), the adverse effect of LPS on hepatic function in vivo was only significant at relatively high LPS doses despite high tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations. However, many patients with sepsis are exposed to multiple bacterial toxins that may augment the immune response, resulting in increased hepatic dysfunction. We have developed a model of polymicrobial sepsis by parentally administering a combination of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) and LPS. Using this model, we demonstrate that SEB (50 microg/kg) potentiates the effect of LPS-induced hepatic dysfunction as measured by decreased rates of biliary indocyanine green clearance and bile flow. These increases were most pronounced with doses of 10 and 100 microg/kg LPS, doses that by themselves do not induce hepatic dysfunction. This may explain the seemingly increased incidence and severity of liver dysfunction in sepsis, and it suggests that the exclusive use of LPS for replicating septic shock may not be relevant for studies of hepatic dysfunction.

AN - 77035577; 11292489 AB - Antibody engineering provides the potential to clone and manipulate antibody genes to produce fragments with altered specificity. We have produced an anti- Legionella single chain fragment with broader specificity towards Legionella serotypes than the parent monoclonal antibody. Using this relationship between the parent monoclonal and the recombinant antibody derived from it as a model, we attempted to identify those residues responsible for this change in fine specificity. Sequence analysis of this recombinant antibody revealed the deletion of a conserved residue, Asp101, in the CDR-H3 region. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have created a mutant form of this single chain fragment with an aspartic acid insertion mutation at position 101 of the antibody heavy chain. This mutant scFv demonstrates improved specificity compared to the wild-type recombinant antibody, indicating an important role for Asp101.

AN - 70878573; 11377983 AB - Site directed mutagenesis of human steroid 5alpha-reductase types 1 (5AR1) and 2 (5AR2) has been used to identify residues involved in inhibitor/substrate binding by 5AR2. Replacing residues 21-24 (GALA) in 5AR2 with the analogous residues 26-29 (AVFA) from 5AR1 did not significantly alter either the Km for testosterone or the Ki for the competitive inhibitor Finasteride. Replacement of AVFA in 5AR1 with GALA from 5AR2 however, significantly decreased the Km and increased the resistance to Finasteride. These findings confirm that 5AR1 residues 26-29 are involved in inhibitor/substrate binding but suggest residues 21-24 of 5AR2 are not. Replacing residues 20-29 (QCAVGCAVFA) of 5AR1 with the analogous residues 15-24 (ATLVALGALA) from 5AR2, changed the Km and Ki to values approaching those for wild type 5AR2. Replacing residues VAL in wild type 5AR2 with VGC from 5AR1 did not change Km or Ki but replacing ATL in 5AR2 with QCA from 5AR1 significantly decreased the Km and increased the resistance to Finasteride. Conversely, replacing QCA with ATL in 5AR1 containing GALA in place of AVFA, increased the Km and decreased resistance to Finasteride. These findings indicate residues 15-17 of human 5AR2 participate in inhibitor/substrate binding whereas residues 18-20 do not.

In this study, the frequency of mutant 6-thioguanine-resistant (TG(R)) peripheral blood lymphocytes was monitored before treatment and for < or =35 weeks after treatment of patients with cyclophosphamide (CP) or chlorambucil (CAB). The mean mutant frequency before treatment for six multiple sclerosis patients treated with high-dose CP was 2.53 x 10(-5) and increased after treatment to 4.61 x 10(-5) (P = 0.08, paired t-test). Using each patient as their own control, there were significant increases (each at P < 0.04) detectable within 2-4 weeks in four of the multiple sclerosis patients treated with CP. There was no increase in an untreated control monitored over the same period. In a patient receiving five sequential CP treatments at 1 month intervals, there were cumulative increases in the frequency of mutant cells. The mutant frequency increased from 0.31 x 10(-5) before treatment to 3.64 x 10(-5) after the final treatment and had decreased to 0.53 x 10(-5) at 35 weeks after treatment. In one of two CAB-treated patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, there was a significant increase in mutant frequency (P < 0.03) after treatment. Freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with 4-hydroperoxy-CP in vitro demonstrate a dose-dependent increase in mutant frequency. The increment in mutant frequency observed in vivo is of the order expected from the in vitro experiments. Although this study demonstrates that single or multiple doses of a single antineoplastic agent are mutagenic in vivo for some patients, further studies are needed to determine the extent and mechanism of the inter-individual variations in mutagenic response.

These hybrid organizations now constitute a quasi government that occasions both interest & concern by political leaders, practitioners, & scholars alike because these organizations touch the very heart of democratic governance: To whom are these hybrids accountable? How well is the public interest being protected against the interests of private parties? In this article, the author seeks to define the quasi government & place these hybrid entities into manageable categories from which legal & behavioral generalizations may be drawn. Are hybrid organizations a problem or a solution? Looking critically at this question, the author suggests the answer may depend in large measure on which of two management paradigms the reader accepts: the constitutionalist management paradigm or the entrepreneurial management paradigm, both of which are defined & discussed. The author concludes that the increasing reliance on hybrid organizations constitutes a threat not only to accountable management within the government, but to the fundamental values of democratic governance as well. 86 References.

AN - 21258920; 11702249 AB - Diseases such as plague, typhus, malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever, transmitted between humans by blood-feeding arthropods, were once common in the United States. Many of these diseases are no longer present, mainly because of changes in land use, agricultural methods, residential patterns, human behavior, and vector control. However, diseases that may be transmitted to humans from wild birds or mammals (zoonoses) continue to circulate in nature in many parts of the country. Most vector-borne diseases exhibit a distinct seasonal pattern, which clearly suggests that they are weather sensitive. Rainfall, temperature, and other weather variables affect in many ways both the vectors and the pathogens they transmit. For example, high temperatures can increase or reduce survival rate, depending on the vector, its behavior, ecology, and many other factors. Thus, the probability of transmission may or may not be increased by higher temperatures. The tremendous growth in international travel increases the risk of importation of vector-borne diseases, some of which can be transmitted locally under suitable circumstances at the right time of the year. But demographic and sociologic factors also play a critical role in determining disease incidence, and it is unlikely that these diseases will cause major epidemics in the United States if the public health infrastructure is maintained and improved.

Although crocetane has been attributed to methane oxidizing archaea, its general occurrence in crude oils and sediments is yet to be fully established due to difficulties associated with the GC-MS analysis since crocetane co-elutes with phytane when chromatographed on most liquid phase coated capillary columns. A method is described for the routine GC-MS analysis of crocetane and phytane in crude oils and sediments, using cyclodextrin stationary phases. Numerous derivatised cyclodextrin columns were investigated. A 50 m permethyl- beta -cyclodextrin was found to give the best resolution (R=0.8 using hydrogen as the carrier gas and R=0.7 using helium).

We have found that a MukB-GFPuv4 fusion protein is observed as discrete fluorescent foci, which are localized within cellular spaces occupied by nucleoids, but not at the constriction site of cell division in living cells. In contrast, MukB-GFPuv4 is distributed throughout the whole cell when either MukF or MukE is absent. Statistical analysis revealed that most newborn cells have two foci of mukB-gfpUV4 at one-quarter and three-quarter positions in the cell length and one focus of SeqA-bound nascent DNA at or near the middle of the cell. Subsequently, the single SeqA focus divides into two foci, and then these migrate to the one-quarter and three-quarter positions. Before cell division, most long cells have two SeqA foci and four MukB-GFPuv4 foci. In early stationary phase, SeqA foci disappear, but one or two foci of MukB-GFPuv4 remain. We discuss the reorganization and proper arrangement of folded sister chromosome in the cell quarter positions, which are performed after release from the long-time cohesion of sister chromosomes.

Pure and mixed swards of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) and phalaris (Phalaris aquatica) were established under ambient and warmed (+3.4 degree C) air temperatures, at ambient and 690 mu mol mol super(-1) CO sub(2) concentrations in field tunnels in temperate south-eastern Australia. Over one year, elevated CO sub(2) increased clover foliage growth in the monoculture by 19%, and by 31% in the mixture. Warming reduced clover monoculture herbage production at ambient CO sub(2) by 28% and reduced the growth enhancement by elevated CO sub(2) to +8%. Forage growth of phalaris monoculture was not affected significantly by either factor. Forage growth of the mixture was increased by 34% in response to higher CO sub(2), but unaffected by warming. Elevated CO sub(2) combined with warming increased forage growth of the mixed sward by 23%. Concurrent rise in atmospheric CO sub(2) concentration and temperature increased productivity of subterranean clover-phalaris swards. However, longer term effects on species competition and persistence may modify this conclusion.

Herbage nutritive value and symbiotic nitrogen fixation were investigated for pure and mixed swards of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) and phalaris (Phalaris aquatica) in field tunnels at ambient and 690 mu mol mol super(-1) CO sub(2) concentrations and at ambient and warmed (+3.4 degree C) air temperatures. Elevated CO sub(2) increased the nonstructural carbohydrate content of herbage whereas warming tended to decrease it. These effects were mainly on soluble carbohydrates in phalaris and starch in clover herbage. The N concentration of both species was decreased by elevated CO sub(2) but unaffected by warming. The proportion of clover-N derived from N sub(2) fixation was increased by 12% under elevated CO sub(2) but decreased by 6% under warming. Concurrent warming and high-CO sub(2) conditions are expected to lead to improved herbage nutritive value for ruminants due to increased nonstructural soluble carbohydrate content. Longer term effects on nutritive value and N-dynamics via species persistence and competition require further study.

Integrative Assessment of Airborne and Waterborne Pathways AN - 18174687; 5161196 AB - To reduce endosulfan (C sub(9)H sub(6)O sub(3)Cl sub(6)S; 6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9, 9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin 3-oxide) contamination in rivers and waterways, it is important to know the relative significances of airborne transport pathways (including spray drift, vapor transport, and dust transport) and waterborne transport pathways (including overland and stream runoff). This work uses an integrated modeling approach to assess the absolute and relative contributions of these pathways to riverine endosulfan concentrations. The modeling framework involves two parts: a set of simple models for each transport pathway, and a model for the physical and chemical processes acting on endosulfan in river water. An averaging process is used to calculate the effects of transport pathways at the regional scale. The results show that spray drift, vapor transport, and runoff are all significant pathways. Dust transport is found to be insignificant. Spray drift and vapor transport both contribute low-level but nearly continuous inputs to the riverine endosulfan load during spraying season in a large cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)-growing area, whereas runoff provides occasional but higher inputs.

Modeling Airborne Dispersal and Deposition by Spray and Vapor AN - 18173134; 5161197 AB - Endosulfan (C sub(9)H sub(6)O sub(3)Cl sub(6)S; 6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9, 9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4, 3-benzodioxathiepin 3-oxide) and other agricultural chemicals can be transported from farms to rivers by several airborne pathways including spray drift and vapor transport. This paper describes a modeling framework for quantifying both of these airborne pathways, consisting of components describing the source, dispersion, and deposition phases of each pathway. Throughout, the framework uses economical descriptions consistent with the need to capture the major physical processes. The dispersion of spray and vapor is described by similarity and mass-conservation principles approximated by Gaussian solutions. Deposition of particles to vegetation is described by a single-layer model incorporating contributions from settling, impaction, and Brownian diffusion. Vapor deposition to water surfaces is described by a simple kinetic formulation dependent on an exchange velocity. All model components are tested against available field and laboratory data. The models, and the measurements used for comparisons, both demonstrate that spray drift and vapor transport are significant pathways. The broader context, described in another paper, is an integrative assessment of all transport pathways (both airborne and waterborne) contributing to endosulfan transport from farms to rivers.

Using the diatom data, principal component analysis, the fast-ice index (FI), benthic index (BI) and snow index (SI) (which are derived from the diatom data), a period of reduced temporal sea-ice cover is identified prior to 2500 BP. There was a large increase in sea-ice extent between 2500 and 2000 BP followed by a smaller decline. Temporal sea-ice extent after 2000 BP was still significantly greater than prior to 2500 BP. Both cores were taken from anoxic basins within the fjord. It was found that the better preservation allowed the recognition of taxa such as Chaetoceros vegetative cells, which are not usually preserved. This enabled the distinction between ice-edge blooms, dominated by Fragilariopsis curta, and open-water blooms dominated by Chaetoceros. Even though Watts Basin receives a significant summer meltwater input each year, it has not been possible to recognize this signal in the sediment core.

DNA was extracted from seven Antarctic sea-ice samples and one Arctic sea-ice sample and 16S rDNA PCR-amplified using universal and Archaea-specific primers. Recombinant 16S rDNA clones were obtained and dereplicated using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (RFLP). After RFLP analysis, 100 distinct phylotypes (a unique clone or group of clones with sequence similarity of > 0.98) were defined. From the clone libraries 16S rDNA sequences of bacterial and eukaryotic origin were detected, however Archaea were not detected either with universal or Archaea-specific 16S rDNA primer sets. Bacterial phylotypes grouped within the alpha and gamma proteobacteria, the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides division, the Gram-Positive bacteria and the orders Chlamydiales and Verrucomicrobiales. The majority of bacterial phylotypes were affiliated with heterotrophic taxa and many grouped closely with cultivated genera and species. Eukaryotic clones were affiliated with a variety of autotrophic and heterotrophic nanoplankton and included a large number of chloroplast 16S rDNA genes. The findings of this investigation corroborated culture data indicating bacterial biodiversity increased in SIMCO displaying high levels of primary production, however the bacterial communities within SIMCO were highly heterogeneous at the genus/species-level between different samples. A comparison of Antarctic and Arctic SIMCO revealed certain sea-ice dwelling bacterial genera are common at both poles.

Gravid female flies acoustically orient to their host's call and deposit live first-instar larvae upon or near their calling host. Up to 16 larvae may be found developing in the one host, and since only calling adult male S. quadrata are parasitized, host size and hence larval resources are essentially fixed at parasitism. This study examines parasitism by H. alleni in relation to intraspecific larval competition and adult fitness. The mean number of larvae emerging per host failed to increase significantly beyond a clutch size of four. Mean pupal weight and survival to the adult stage decreased linearly with increasing clutch size across the entire range of clutch sizes examined. Within a clutch, heavier pupae successfully completed pupal development significantly more often than lighter pupae. Pupal weight was directly related to adult size, with adult males being significantly larger than adult females at any given pupal weight. Female body size was positively correlated with fecundity. The size distribution of emerging females was normally distributed, while the distribution of searching gravid females collected at acoustic traps in the field was significantly skewed toward larger flies, suggesting yet another fitness benefit associated with large size. Using fecundity and survival to adulthood as our measure of fitness we calculated the optimal clutch size maximizing fitness per host to be seven, which exceeds the majority of observed clutch sizes in the field. Uncertainties associated with larvae successfully entering the host following larviposition are likely to reduce clutch sizes of H. alleni below this optimum in the field.

Most of the actions of the scorpion toxins are indirect and due to the release of adrenergic and cholinergic neurotransmitters. Accordingly, treatment following envenoming is targeted towards inhibition of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors. Here, we have sought evidence for a direct action of T. serrulatus venom on the isolated rat heart (Langendorff's method). We show that the bradycardia induced by T. serrulatus venom was completely blocked by atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Similarly, the increase in heart rate that follows the venom-induced bradycardia was totally inhibited by a beta sub(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist or by chemical sympathetic denervation with 6-hydroxydopamine. In contrast to these findings, the venom-induced increase in contractile force was not modified by beta sub(1)-adrenoceptor blockade or by chemical sympathetic denervation. The results clearly demonstrate that the chronotropic effects of T. serrulatus are dependent on neurotransmitter release, but the inotropic effects are not. The neurotransmitter-independent increase in contractility seems to be a direct action of the venom on cardiomyocytes. We suggest that this direct effect on cardiac fibers may play a role in the development of cardiac arrhythmias and contractility defects following envenoming with T. serrulatus scorpion.

Barker Inlet is adjacent to metropolitan Adelaide, and receives unknown quantities of urban and industrial discharges. Both areas are sites of major commercial and recreational fisheries, contained within delicately balanced marine wetland ecosystems, comprising large areas of mangrove and seagrass habitats. Aldrichetta forsteri and Sillago schomburgkii are major species within these fisheries and as estuarine-dependent species were chosen for this study as indicator species for the detection and monitoring of pollutant impacts in the nearshore marine ecosystems of South Australia. Seston sediment collectors were deployed at each site and analysed seasonally for the presence of cadmium, lead and copper. Flesh samples from A. forsteri and S. schomburgkii were examined seasonally for the presence of cadmium, lead and copper and the results correlated with levels found in the seston sediment at each site. Metal concentrations were also correlated with a biomarker of genotoxicity measured in the same animals (micronuclei in erythrocytes) that were reported previously. This study has shown that seston concentration of pollutant metals are high in areas of industrial activity, and that these levels are also reflected in metal content of fish flesh. Mean flesh levels of cadmium and copper did not exceed Australian health based maximum permitted levels of fish for human consumption, whereas flesh levels of lead in fish from Port Pirie and Barker Inlet exceeded these standards in each of the seasons monitored.

Extensive research regarding the effects of exposure to fumonisins has been conducted on rodents. An overview is provided of this research. Extensive data are presented on the absorption, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics of fumonisins in rodents, as well as the subchronic effects in rats, including in vivo toxicity, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. In mice, the pathology of fumonisins is similar to that observed in rats, but mice are more resistant to nephrotoxicity. The data suggest that fumonisins exert their effect through a nongenotoxic mode of action, which may involve sphingolipids. The data also suggest that fumonisin B sub(1) is not teratogenic, but may be embryotoxic at maternally toxic doses.

For the male and female F344 rats, the doses ranged 0150 and 0100 ppm, respectively, and those for the male and female B6C3F sub(1) mice ranged 0150 and 080 ppm, respectively. Results showed that FB sub(1) was a renal carcinogen for male F344 rats, as indicated by an induction of renal tubule carcinomas at doses of 50 and 150 ppm. Mortality was not increased over the 2 yr of the study by exposure to FB sub(1)-contaminated diets, however. The results also showed that FB sub(1) was hepatocarcinogenic in female B6C3F sub(1) mice at doses of 50 and 80 ppm, resulting in carcinoma formation in 22.5 and 23.0% of the mice, respectively. At these two doses, there was also an increased incidence of hepatocellular adenomas, which was accompanied by increases in hepatocellular hypertrophy.

The current and proposed genetic and molecular approaches that potentially lead to reduced exposure to fumonsins from maize are outlined. The methods, each of which is expanded upon, include: breeding for increased Fusarium ear mold resistance, molecular marker-based breeding, the development of transgenic resistance to ear-feeding insects, transgenic strategies to reduce Fusarium ear mold, and transgenic strategies aimed at reducing fumonisins.

The toxicity and carcinogenicity studies in rats have examined cultures of F. verticillioides strain MRC 826, as well as fumonisin B sub(1) isolated from this strain. The mechanisms proposed for cancer induction by fumonisin B sub(1) may involve altered lipid biosynthesis, such as altered lipid parameters associated with the growth of hepatocyte nodules, disruption of growth control by fumonisin B sub(1), and modulation of growth regulatory molecules in the liver. The data suggest that the disruption of the phospholipid and n-6 fatty-acid metabolic pathway may be critical with respect to cancer promotion, especially at low dietary levels of fumonisin B sub(1).

The high level of fumonisins in the corn crop was attributed to a hot, dry summer. Extensive data from the literature are presented in an overview of the hepatic, cardiovascular, and hypercholesterolemic effects of fumonisin ingestion in swine, as well as interaction with other agents. In vivo pulmonary changes relevant to the pathogenesis of fumonisin-induced pulmonary edema are shown to include histologic evidence of pulmonary interstitial edema, pulmonary capillary endothelial alterations, and a lack of effect on the permeability of pulmonary endothelium in vivo.

A great deal of correlative evidence from in vivo studies in rodents and farm animals supports the premise that altered sphingolipid metabolism is closely associated with liver and kidney toxicity. The data suggest that fumonisin B sub(1)-induced alterations in sphingolipid signaling pathways lead to altered rates of cell death and regeneration. Ceramide synthase-inhibited cells that are DNA damaged may survive under conditions that would normally lead to their death, while ceramide synthase inhibition can lead to the accumulation of sphingoid bases and their metabolites that also alters the rates of cell death and proliferation.

Microbial endophytes are associated with a large number of plants, and the occurrence of Fusarium moniliforme as an endophyte is typical of several species within the genus Fusarium. Control, prevention, and detection of endophytic infections by F. moniliforme in corn are difficult. A review is presented of information on the endophytic fungus habit, which defines the requirements necessary for biological control. Biological control strategies are then elucidated that offer promise for both fungus reduction and toxin reduction. One control strategy utilizes an isolate of an endophytic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, that shows great promise in the control and reduction of mycotoxin accumulation during the growth of maize plants endophytically infected with F. moniliforme. Another strategy uses an isolate of the fungus, Trichoderma sp., as a postharvest control for the growth of F. moniliforme and resulting toxin accumulation during storage.

Human exposure to waterborne contamination occurs through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption of microbial organisms or algal toxins. The diseases and disorders associated with drinking water, untreated sewage disposal, and recreational waters are noted, as are those associated with the contaminated waterfood connection, including the consumption of fish and shellfish contaminated with biologic toxins. Efforts to protect the public from water- and food-associated illnesses include improved drinking-water monitoring and treatment, improved wastewater management, watershed protection, and disease surveillance, as well as a commitment to more studies of the basic relationships among temperature, sea-level rise, other climatic factors, and the ecology of disease agents.

The ability to respond to heat stress is limited by the capacity to increase the maximum cardiac output required for cutaneous blood flow. The onset of heat stroke, which is the most common cause of death and the most acute illness attributable directly to heat, occurs rapidly through progressively serious symptoms, including lethargy, confusion, disorientation, delirium, and coma. An overview is provided of the associations between meteorological conditions and health, looking at climate-change scenarios as applied to weathermortality relationships. Major risk factors for heat-related illness are identified as urban living, increasing age, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Efforts to combat heat-related illness are outlined, including the use of air-conditioning, behavioral change, and community-wide planning and warning systems, and research needs in this area are highlighted.

The data show that the levels of major serum enzymes used as markers for liver damage were elevated in both the high- and low-dose groups, depending on the dietary level of fungal culture material. Histopathologic changes associated with changes in liver enzyme activities suggested a chronic toxic hepatosis that simulated acute viral hepatitis, with some similarities to the effects induced by aflatoxins. Consumption of the high dose of culture material caused atherogenic plasma lipid profiles to develop, which entailed elevations of plasma low-density liproprotein-C and apoprotein-B strongly associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. The low-dose group did not show any marked changes in serum urea or creatinine, but most of the high-dose animals showed elevated levels. Creatine kinase was increased markedly in all high-dose animals in a dose-dependent manner. The no-observed-effect level of total fumonisins for liver and kidney damage in vervet monkeys was estimated to range 0.110.18 mg/kg/d.

Particularly stringent will be the reduction in allowable sulfur in diesel fuel. Diesel particulates are considered to be toxic air pollutants, producing and exacerbating asthma and reduced lung function, among other potential health effects. These new regulations also cover light-duty vehicles. The specific regulations pertaining to light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, and S in diesel fuel are outlined, and several key issues that have been raised by various stakeholders are highlighted. These included the cost and supply of low-S diesel, the availability and performance of emission control technology, the economic impacts of the new fuel and engine standards, and the timing of the new standards.

The estimates of mitigative costs vary greatly depending on the model used, and models that include policy approaches that encourage efficient economic responses to carbon dioxide reductions, include joint implementation schemes, and involve efficient recycling of any revenues generated from control strategies significantly reduce costs compared with models that do not consider such policy options. An overview is presented here of market-based mechanisms for reducing greenhouse gases, which are classified into three approaches: tradable permits, C taxes, and joint implementation. The underlying concept of each is outlined, noting their advantages and disadvantages, and the policy issues affecting each are considered in terms of their cost-effectiveness, comprehensiveness, economic impact, and equity.

The conflict between nature preservation and oil drilling is becoming more urgent, especially in light of the recent rise in energy prices and production cutbacks by OPEC. The history of the refuge is chronicled, looking at actions considered during the 104th to the 106th Congresses. The legislative choices facing the 107th Congress are then elucidated and discussed, including the Bush Administration's energy plan, the potential petroleum resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the economics of Alaskan oil production, natural-gas development on the North Slope, oil exploration and leasing options, and management of the refuge for wildlife protection. Argument on both sides of the oil-development issue are cited. Also considered are subsistence use and access by the Kattovik Inupiat Corporation and legal issues involving land ownership, how oil revenues would be allocated, and the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

It has been estimated that, but 2020, renewable energy production could increase 22%, supplying approximately 6.8% of the projected total energy demand of 119 quadrillion Btu. The role of renewable energy in long-term energy supply is outlined, as is the history of federal efforts to develop renewable energy technology. A number of renewable energy tax credit bills were introduced in the first session of the 107th Congress, which are noted briefly, as is the effort of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act to support the growth of electric-power production from renewable energy facilities.

Hg was measured in fish and game, as well as in human hair samples from subjects in four villages. Results confirm Hg exposure of this population as driven by fish consumption. About 57% of the subjects had Hg levels in hair samples above the WHO safety limit of 19 mu g. About 14.5% of the fish collected and assayed exceeded the 0.5 mg/kg safety limit. Four carnivorous species accounted for 72% of the Hg ingested by humans, although these represented only 8% of the consumed fish biomass.

A concordance of 57% between the overall rodent carcinogenicity classifications is estimated for the two parts of the data base. The percentage did not improve substantially when additional biological data, such as species and target organ, were considered. The assays are much less reproducible than previously expected, a finding that should be considered in the development of structure-activity relationship models and the risk assessment process.

Eserine, Parathion, and malathion increased cell proliferation of terminal end buds of the 44-d old mammary gland of rats, followed by formation of 8.6, 14.3, and 24.3% of mammary carcinomas, respectively, after about 28 months. Acetylcholinesterase activity declined in animal serum from 9.78 U/ml in controls to 2.57-3.88 U/ml in treated animals. Organophosphorus pesticides induce changes in the epithelium of mammary gland and influence carcinogenetic processes, and such alterations occur at the level of the nervous system by increasing cholinesterase stimulation.

Cortical bone Pb, trabecular bone Pb, use of Pb-glazed ceramics, and mean air Pb level contributed significantly to plasma Pb. An increase in trabecular bone Pb and cortical bone Pb was associated with increases in cord blood Pb of 0.65 and 0.25 mu g/dl, respectively. An increase of 0.1 mu g/m super(3) in air Pb was associated with an increase in the mean level of fetal cord blood Pb by 0.67 mu g/dl.

Biomarker outcome data were compared with urinary levels of 2,4-D herbicide obtained at the time of maximum herbicide use. The highest average level of 2,4-D in urine was measured for subjects who used a hand-held backpack sprayer. Most of the applicators had two or more polymerase chain reaction-based V(D)J region rearrangements per microgram of DNA at the height of the application season. Urinary 2,4-D levels were not correlated with chromosome aberration frequency, but the latter were correlated with the total volume of herbicides applied.

After 3 d, the rats were inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes, sacrificed, and assayed. Exposure to DEP, but not to C black, reduced the clearance of Listeria from lungs. DEP exposure reduced the ability of macrophages to produce antimicrobial antioxidants in response to Listeria, which may play a role in increased susceptibility to pulmonary infection.

In such models topography influences the discharge of overland flow and its sediment transport capacity. The sediment transport capacity of overland flow is commonly expressed as a power function of slope and discharge (i.e. q sub(s) = k sub(1)q super( beta )S super( gamma )). The relationship between discharge and contributing area can also be expressed as a power function. Several reviews reveal a limited range of values for the two exponents beta and gamma . In this paper we examine the sensitivity of catchment-scale patterns of sediment delivery to valley floors to a range of sediment transport capacity and hillslope hydrology parameterizations, using two catchments on the southern tablelands of New South Wales. The results indicate that, over the limited range of beta and gamma identified within the literature, sediment deliveries to valley floors across the two catchments are similar for all but one of five sediment transport capacity relationships. The patterns are dominated by the trend in slope through each catchment. The sensitivity to hillslope hydrology of predicted sediment delivery patterns is strong in the catchment with systematic variation in unit hillslope area, and weak in the catchment for which there are no systematic trends in unit hillslope area. We believe there is less experimental evidence to restrict choice of hillslope hydrology parameters than there is for sediment transport capacity.

Plot experiments were conducted under the natural rainfall condition during 1995-1997 at Wangdongguo and Aobao catchments in this region to evaluate the effects of various land use, cropping systems, land slopes and rainfall on runoff and sediment losses, as well as the differences in catchment responses. The experiments included various surface conditions ranging from bare soil to vegetated surfaces (maize, wheat residue, Robinia pseudoacacia L., Amorpha fruticosa L., Stipa capillata L., buckwheat and Astragarus adsurgens L.). The measurements were carried out on hill slopes with different gradients (i.e. 0 degree to 36 degree ). These plots varied from 20 to 60 m in length. Results indicated that runoff and erosion in this region occurred mainly during summer storms. Summer runoff and sediment losses under cropping and other vegetation were significantly less than those from ploughed bare soil (i.e. without crop/plant or crop residue). There were fewer runoff and sediment losses with increasing canopy cover. Land slope had a major effect on runoff and sediment losses and this effect was markedly larger in the tillage plots than that in the natural grass and forest plots, although this effect was very small when the maximum rainfall intensity was larger than 58 times 8 mm/h or smaller than 2 times 4 mm/h. Sediment losses per unit area rose with increasing slope length for the same land slope and same land use. The effect of slope length on sediment losses was stronger on a bare soil plot than on a crop/plant plot. The runoff volume and sediment losses were both closely related to rainfall volume and maximum intensity, while runoff coefficient was mainly controlled by maximum rainfall intensity. Hortonian overland flow is the dominant runoff process in the region. The differences in runoff volume, runoff coefficient and sediment losses between the catchments are mainly controlled by the maximum rainfall intensity and infiltration characteristics. The Aobao catchment yielded much larger runoff volume, runoff coefficient and sediment than the Wangdongguo catchment.

The two methods involved determination of DMS in the headspace of cereal or oilseed samples (1) after extraction with microwaves and (2) after a traditional approach using 25% KBr solution. Quantitative results from each method were similar, and therefore both methods are suitable for the determination of DMS in grains and oilseeds. However, the microwave procedure has several advantages; for example, results are obtained very quickly, and only a small amount of sample is required.

AN - 70839237; 11350007 AB - The interaction between beta-adrenergic signaling and the activation of protein kinase C in alveolar type II cell plays an important role in the regulation of surfactant secretion because the combined application of beta-adrenergic agonist with protein kinase C activator to the cells stimulates the secretion synergistically. However, the mechanisms underlying the interaction are not clear. In the present study, we examined the combined effect of terbutaline with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in rat alveolar type II cells. The combined application of terbutaline with PMA to the cells rapidly increased [Ca2+]i, although neither of them affected it by itself. Similar increases of [Ca2+]i were observed in other combinations, such as terbutaline with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, and forskolin with PMA. Either the removal of extracellular Ca2+ or the addition of Co2+ remarkably suppressed the increase of [Ca2+]i induced by the combination of terbutaline with PMA. In addition, Co2+ inhibited the phosphatidylcholine secretion induced by the combination of terbutaline and PMA. These results suggested that the [Ca2+]i increased as a result of the interaction between formation of cyclic AMP and activation of protein kinase C in alveolar type II cells, and that the increase in [Ca2+]i was mediated by the Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane. This mechanism to modulate [Ca2+]i may play a role in the regulation of surfactant secretion by alveolar type II cells.

Controlled pollinations show that G. iaspicula has an effective self-incompatibility system and little potential for agamospermy. This is reflected in uniformly high multilocus outcrossing rates (t sub(m)=0.96-1.00). However, average paternal diversity within open-pollinated sibships is low (r sub(p)=0.31-0.54), suggesting that mating within populations is quite restricted. Despite the small size of most populations (four of the five populations studied have fewer than 20 reproductive individuals) the species still possesses moderate to high allelic richness (A=1.6-2.5). Interpopulation genetic differentiation is high (D=0.04-0.32), suggesting that gene flow is limited, even among populations separated by only a few kilometres.

AN - 77052373; 11299385 AB - Aluminum (Al) toxicity and poor phosphorus (P) availability are factors that limit plant growth on many agricultural soils. Previous work reported that expression of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum; CSb lines) resulted in improved Al tolerance (J.M. de la Fuente, V. Ramírez-Rodríguez, J.L. Cabrera-Ponce, L. Herrera-Estrella [1997] Science 276: 1566-1568) and an enhanced ability to acquire P from alkaline soils (J. López-Bucio, O. Martínez de la Vega, A. Guevara-García, L. Herrera-Estrella [2000] Nat Biotechnol 18: 450-453). These effects were attributed to the P. aeruginosa citrate synthase increasing the biosynthesis and efflux of citrate from roots. To verify these findings we: (a) characterized citrate efflux from roots of wild-type tobacco; (b) generated tobacco lines expressing the citrate synthase gene from P. aeruginosa; and (c) analyzed selected CSb lines described above. Al stimulated citrate efflux from intact roots of wild-type tobacco and root apices were found to be responsible for most of the efflux. Despite generating transgenic tobacco lines that expressed the citrate synthase protein at up to a 100-fold greater level than the previously described CSb lines, these lines did not show increased accumulation of citrate in roots or increased Al-activated efflux of citrate from roots. Selected CSb lines, similarly, failed to show differences compared with controls in either citrate accumulation or efflux. We conclude that expression of the P. aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in plants is unlikely to be a robust and easily reproducible strategy for enhancing the Al tolerance and P-nutrition of crop and pasture species.

During the mild weather (maxima 22-30 degree C) of spring (October), there was little change in nymphal bands during the first week but at all doses between 25-100 g (1-4 x 10 super(12) conidia)/ha, the bands rapidly declined 9-12 days after treatment reaching > 90% mortality by 14 days. Metarhizium persisted for some time as there was 50% mortality of locusts fed vegetation collected from the treated blocks seven days after treatment. Persistence was confirmed by the high mortality of bands that invaded from untreated areas and of nymphs that hatched on the plot five to seven days after treatment, though mortality was then delayed until early in the third week. During summer (January), temperatures were high (maxima 36-42 degree C), and at all doses between 25 and 125 g (1-5 x 10 super(12) conidia)/ha, there was a rapid decline seven to ten days after treatment. By 12-14 days, there was a > 90% decline in numbers in most blocks which was confirmed by helicopter surveys two weeks after treatment that found very few adults within or near treated areas. Mortality was delayed in the high dose where there were blockages of spray equipment during treatment. The clear demonstration that Metarhizium can suppress small local populations of C. terminifera led to the limited operational use of Metarhizium on an organic farm and in a National Park where nearly 2500 ha of bands and swarms were treated. Continued research is needed to develop a commercially viable product so that Metarhizium can form a significant part of a programme of integrated pest management of locusts in Australia.

It is shown here how the stratification in shallow systems (to a few meters deep) can be described in terms of two nondimensional parameters, which are functions only of the water depth, turbidity, mean wind speed, and mean solar radiation. The functional forms have been derived from flows generated by a coupled atmospheric boundary-layer-water-body model. The results generally provide very satisfactory estimates of the stratification in a shallow lake in southeastern Australia and are also shown to be consistent with an existing criterion for the initial onset of stratification in shallow systems. It is suggested that with further validation, the simple empirical description of stratification conditions provided here might be usefully incorporated into existing wetland management strategies.

The Relative Risk Model was used in conjunction with geographic information systems interpretations. Stakeholder values were used to develop assessment endpoints, and regional stressors and habitats were identified. The risk hypotheses expressed in the conceptual model were that agriculture and land clearing for rural residential are producing multiple stressors that have potential for contamination of local waterbodies, eutrophication, changes in hydrology, reduction in the habitat of native flora and fauna, reductions in populations of beneficial insects in agricultural production systems, increased weed competition in pastures, and loss of aesthetic value in residential areas. In the risk analysis the catchment was divided into risk regions based on topography and land use. Stressors were ranked on likelihood of occurrence, while habitats were ranked on percentage land area. Risk characterization showed risks to the maintenance of productive primary industries were highest across all risk regions, followed by maintenance of a good residential environment and maintenance of fish populations. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to show the variability in risk outcomes stemming from uncertainty about stressors and habitats. Outcomes from this assessment provide a basis for planning regional environmental monitoring programs.

In this study, repeated field experiments using caged and natural populations of a root-crown weevil, Mogulones larvatus, on the annual weed Echium plantagineum (Boraginaceae) were conducted with and without pasture competition in its exotic range. The experiment used a split-plot design, excluding weevils with insecticide and plant competition through weeding. The greatest effect of the weevils was observed when natural densities of weevils occurred on naturally growing E. plantagineum rosettes in the field. Weevils reduced plant survival by 43%, and the size and seed weight of survivors by 58% and 74%, respectively. Pasture competition had a similar impact on E. plantagineum as the weevils for plant size and seed weight, except that there was no impact on rosette survival. There were also no significant interactions between the effects of weevils and competition. Most impact occurred in the second half of the growing season. The number of weevil eggs and larvae and all plant reproductive parameters measured per unit biomass were independent of plant size. Such impact experiments help develop simplified impact assessment methodologies for assessing the success of biological control projects in the field.

Their use as sewage pipes requires consideration of both the strength characteristics and the long-term durability of the pipes in aggressive environments. Cellulose fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) pipes are relatively new to the market and if they are to find a place in the sewage pipe market, then their long-term durability in a sewage environment must be investigated. This paper presents the preliminary findings of a research program aimed at determining the long-term durability of FRC pipes in sewage applications. Pipe samples of both FRC and steel reinforced concrete (SRC) were exposed to sewage environments and the characteristics of the samples continually monitored. It was found that the strength characteristics of the samples were only slightly affected by the environment but that the surface characteristics of the materials changed significantly.

Rural communities within Australia and those in developing countries require an inexpensive and low-cost method for removing toxins from drinking water. A candidate technology is bank filtration. Adsorption of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins was measured in batch studies to determine the applicability of bank filtration as an efficient removal strategy. Five soils with different physicochemical properties were collected from regions around South Australia. The soils were mixed with either nodularin or microcystin-LR in distilled water and buffered solutions (pH 4.8, 6.9 and 9.1). Additionally, nodularin was mixed in unbuffered solutions (pH 4.8 and 8.9). The three soils with the high clay and/or organic carbon contents (Paringa A, McLaren Flat and Lakes Plains) had the higher nodularin adsorption coefficients, ranging from 0.2 to 16.59 L kg super(-1). Soil suspensions in acetate buffer (pH 4.8) generally produced significantly higher nodularin adsorption coefficients, when compared to the other buffer systems. The background interference from the ionic strength of the buffers, however, made interpretation of the effect of pH on toxin sorption difficult. Increases in solution ionic strength, from freshwater to seawater, resulted in corresponding increases in the nodularin adsorption coefficients for all sites, except the sandy Hallett Cove site. The implications for bank filtration are that higher water pH values and lower salinities will enhance the in situ mobility of the toxins, resulting in an increased distance of filtration through the river bank before toxin free water could be abstracted for human consumption.

P. shigelloides is increasingly regarded as an emerging enteric pathogen and has been implicated in intestinal and extraintestinal infections in humans. However, the establishment of its true role in enteric disease has been hindered by inadequacies in experimental design, deficiencies in clinical diagnosis, and the lack of an appropriate animal model. In this investigation, an in vitro system was used to evaluate plesiomonad pathogenesis. Differentiated epithelium-derived Caco-2 cell monolayers inoculated apically with 12 isolates of P. shigelloides from clinical (intestinal) origins were examined at high resolution using transmission electron microscopy. Bacterial cells were observed adhering to intact microvilli and to the plasma membrane on both the apical and the basal surfaces of the monolayer. The bacteria entered the Caco-2 cells and were observed enclosed in single and multiple membrane-bound vacuoles within the host cell cytoplasm. This observation suggests that initial uptake may occur through a phagocytic-like process, as has been documented for many other enteropathogens. P. shigelloides also was noted free in the cytosol of Caco-2 cells, suggesting escape from cytoplasmic vacuoles. Differences in invasion phenotypes were revealed, suggesting the possibility that, like Escherichia coli, P. shigelloides comprises different pathogenic phenotypes.

Licensed MenC vaccines contain the O-acetylated (OAc+) form of polysaccharide. Some MenC strains have de-O-acetylated (OAc-) polysaccharide, which may affect antibody specificity and functional activity when used in a vaccine. We evaluated an OAc-MenC conjugate-tetanus toxoid conjugate (MCC-TT) vaccine given concomitantly with whole-cell diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and oral polio immunization in 83 infants at 2, 3, and 4 months of age. Serum bactericidal activities (SBA) against OAc+ and OAc- MenC strains and OAc+ and OAc- polysaccharide- specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were evaluated. MCC-TT vaccine was well tolerated. All infants produced SBA titers of >=8 after a single dose at 2months of age. The SBA geometric mean titer for OAc+ strain C11 increased from 2.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2 to 3.2) to 320 (95% CI, 237 to 432), 773 (95% CI, 609 to 982), and 1, 063(95% CI, 856 to 1319) after one, two, and three doses of MCC-TT, respectively. OAc- IgG levels were twice as high as OAc+ IgG levels after the primary series of MCC-TT vaccine, and the SBA was significantly higher against the OAc- MenC strain. Antibody responses to booster vaccination with either OAc+ MenC polysaccharide vaccine (MACP) or a fourth dose of MCC-TT at 14 months of age provided evidence of immunologic memory. The acetylation status of the booster vaccine influenced the specificity of the response, with significantly higher OAc- IgG levels and SBA after MCC-TT vaccine compared to MACP vaccine but similar OAc+ antibody levels. MCC-TT vaccine is highly immunogenic and primes for immunologic memory against OAc+ and OAc- MenC strains in infancy.

Here we quantify trends in surface soil recovery following timber harvesting activities, specifically snig track (skid trail) construction and logging, based on changes in soil surface compaction, infiltration, and erosion with time since initial disturbance. Sites range in age from 0.5 to 5 years. Surface erosion on the snig tracks and general harvesting areas (GHA), and sediment storage and delivery between the two areas, are measured using a large rainfall simulator. Surface soil compaction shows no significant recovery over this time period, illustrating the persistent effects of machinery compaction on surface soil structure. In contrast, surface infiltration rates on the snig tracks increase by a factor of two and snig track erosion rates decline by almost one-order of magnitude over the 5-year period. These findings have important implications for assessing the cumulative impact of timber harvesting activities.

The data were examined statistically in relation to maximum temperature and concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and PM sub(10). Results showed that exposures to concentrations of NO sub(2) and PM sub(10) during the summer months were much more significant model covariates for many of the diseases than were exposures to daily maximum temperatures. However, maximum temperature was a contributing factor for pneumonia. Concentrations of NO sub(2) were significant covariates for angina, cardiac insufficiency, myocardial infarction, and acute bronchitis, while PM sub(10) concentrations were related significantly to asthma, chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia.

The structureactivity relationships for this effect were compared with other brominated flame retardants, such as differently brominated bisphenol A compounds. In addition, the most potent compounds were tested for estrogen receptor specificity using 293 human embryonic kidney cells transfected with recombinant human estrogen receptor cDNA and the luciferase reporter gene construct. Results showed that 11 PBDE congeners were able to exert estrogenic activities at concentrations as low as 0.05 mu M and EC sub(50) values ranging 2.57.3 mu M. The congeners with the highest estrogenic activity were 2,2',4,4',6-pentaBDE, 2,4,4',6-tetraBDE, and 2,2',4,6'-tetraBDE. The common structural features among the estrogenic PBDEs were two ortho (2,6)-bromine atoms on one phenyl ring, at least one para-Br atom, and nonbrominated ortho-meta or meta carbons on the other phenyl ring. Hydroxylated PBDEs and polybrominated bisphenol A compounds were found to be potent inducers of the estrogen receptor signal transduction pathway. The structureactivity relationships of the PBDEs were in accordance with those proposed for hydroxylated PCBs. The agonistic potency of estrogenic PBDEs and hydroxylated PBDEs was preferential toward the estrogen receptor alpha relative to estrogen receptor beta .

The respiratory health of the subjects was monitored with daily self-monitored peak-flow measurements and a supervised biweekly spirometric lung-function test. The subjects also recorded their daily symptoms and medication use. The results showed that forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and peak expiratory flow rates were inversely, but mostly nonsignificantly, associated with particle number concentrations on the preceding day. Only the associations with particles in the accumulation mode were statistically significant.

The recent economic and price trends in cattle, hogs, sheep, and poultry are noted, and industry issues and Congressional responses are examined. Four important issues facing the 107th Congress are economic assistance for the livestock sector, mandatory price reporting for meat packers and processors, continuation of the pork check-off program, and creation of an on-line marketplace for meat and poultry products. Important issues involving international trade in animal products are also summarized, particularly as they pertain to trade liberalization, and animal health and food safety issues are considered, such as mad cow and foot-and-mouth diseases in the UK ad other European nations, the use of antibiotics in animal feeds, and the increased use of vegetable proteins in Child Nutrition Programs.

The entire distribution of annoyance reactions was modeled as a function of the noise exposure. The basic model is outlined. Results showed that there was a significant between-study variation for aircraft and road traffic, but the within-study variation was much larger. The noise annoyance curves found exhibited rather narrow confidence intervals. The resulting polynomial approximations of relationships implied by the model for the combination of exposure and annoyance measures are presented.

Concentrations of blood Pb, tibia Pb, and DMSA-chelatable Pb ranged 486 mu g/dl, 7338 mu g/g, and 4.82103 mu g, respectively, in the exposed workers, while concentrations in controls were low. No differences were noted between groups with respect to age, job duration, Pb dose measures, or systolic or diastolic blood pressure by ALAD genotype, but subjects with the vitamin D receptor B allele were older, had higher DMSA-chelatable Pb levels, and had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In Pb workers only, vitamin D receptor genotype, blood Pb, tibia Pb, and DMSA-chelatable Pb were all positive predictors of systolic blood pressure, controlling for age, sex, body mass, antihypertensive medication use, and cumulative lifetime alcoholic drinks. Lead workers with vitamin D receptor BB or Bb genotypes had diastolic blood pressures than were 2.6 mm hemoglobin higher than Pb workers with the bb genotype.

The data were used to assess whether the mixture effects could be predicted accurately on the basis of information about concentrationresponse relationships of the individual agents. Results showed that the mixture responses were larger than the proliferative effects of the most potent mixture component. In the equimolar mixture, concentrations of o,p'-DDT that would have failed to produce measurable effects led to significant cell proliferation in the presence of the other three compounds. The combined effects of the four compounds could be predicted on the basis of data about single-agent concentrationresponse relationships. The combination effect was classed as synergistic.

More than 20,000 people were affected. While a majority of the patients recovered over a long period, 300 died, and 3040% continue to suffer mild symptoms or severe sequelae. A matched casecontrol study with two different controls, nonaffected siblings and unrelated nonaffected subjects, was conducted to identify host-metabolism differences that may have played a role in the pathogenesis of toxic oil syndrome. Blood samples were collected, and genotyping analysis was performed. Each genetic variable was tested separately for its distribution in each group and given as allele frequencies. Cases compared with siblings showed no differences in either CYP2D6 or CYP1A1 polymorphism, while cases compared with unrelated controls showed an increase in NAT2 defective alleles. The results suggested the presence of a metabolic factor in the presentation of the disease.

The study found, in most instances, a nonlinear relation between air pollution and daily deaths. Here, data from seven western European cities that were collected during the study were used to investigate pollutionmortality associations using Poisson regression in a generalized additive model, which allowed the inclusion of nonparametric smooth functions to model the potential nonlinear dependence of daily hospital admissions on weather and season. Once the models were fitted in each location, the results were summarized over all locations using inverse variance weighting. The model results led to increases in the estimated pooled relative risks of total mortality associated with higher concentrations of sulfur dioxide and black smoke in ambient air. The findings suggested that part of the previously observed heterogeneity in the air-pollution estimates between central-eastern and western European cities was caused by inadequate control of seasonality and inclusion of concentrations where the doseresponse relationship became nonlinear.

In the rat study, animals were exposed 7 h/d, 5 d/week for up to 30 months to diluted, whole diesel exhaust at soot concentrations of 0.35, 3.5, or 7.0 mg soot/m super(3). In the human study, lung sections were examined from three groups, controls, low-dose coal miners, and high-dose coal miners, which represented a range of exposures to dusts from urban ambient levels to high occupational levels. One-way analysis of variance was employed to examine any significant differences among exposure or dose groups in the volume density of particulate material in the lungs. Both qualitative and quantitative examination of histologic sections of rat lungs showed that chronically inhaled diesel soot was retained predominantly in alveolar macrophages in parenchymal lumens of rats over a wide range of exposure concentrations and resultant lung burdens. In non-miners and coal miners, chronically inhaled particulate material was retained primarily in the interstitium, with a portion of the retained material related to dose, years of exposure, and/or lung burden. The examination showed that the anatomic distribution pattern of retained particulate material differed between rat and human lungs.

The toxin was administered at 6 h postfertilization by microinjection. A dose-dependent effect on larval survivability was noted, with a half-maximal effect at approximately 4.5 ng/egg. A dose-dependent inhibition of hatching was also noted. At doses ranging 0.13.0 ng/egg, a lateral curvature of the spinal column was induced in embryos, the severity of which was dependent upon the dose. Embryos injected with higher concentrations showed progressive embryonic development, but they failed to hatch. At doses greater than 3.0 ng/egg, embryos suffered from herniation of the brain and meninges and exhibited malpositioned eyes.

Is the US now legally bound by the Kyoto Protocol? What is the legal effect of the US signing the Kyoto Protocol? Can the US remove its signature from the Protocol? Can the Protocol by treated as an executive agreement for which Senate or Congressional consent is not required? Can the Protocol, prior to ratification, be used as a basis for regulations imposing emissions restrictions on industry? In answering these questions, it is argued that, while the US is not legally bound by the Kyoto Protocol unless the Senate gives its consent, the US is required to refrain from actions that would undermine the Protocol's objectives. The US cannot remove its signature from the Protocol, but the agreement can be nullified by not being ratified. The Protocol can be used in theory as a basis for regulations imposing emissions restrictions, but only by Congressional mandate.

Hearing of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session. AN - 62247719; ED456917 AB - These hearings transcripts present testimony before a congressional committee comparing early childhood education and care in the United States with that of other industrialized countries, focusing on all arrangements for children under compulsory school age. The opening statement from the committee chair, Senator James Jeffords, notes the linkage between participation in preschool and numerous positive outcomes as well as the evidence that preschool participation benefits low-income children more than children from more economically advantaged families. Jefford's statement notes that: American children are not entering school ready to learn, especially children from inner cities; the child care workforce is undertrained and paid low wages; and some local and state governments have accepted a view of early education and care adopted in other industrialized nations and have devised a variety of ways to finance programs for 3- and 4-year-olds. Providing testimony regarding the early education and care systems of industrialized nations are representatives of the Institute for Child and Family Policy at Columbia University, the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation, the Bristol (Vermont) Family Center, the Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children, and the director of educational programs of the French-American Foundation. The testimony focused on the models of early childhood education and care programs in the United States and elsewhere, and discussed their eligibility, coverage, financing mechanisms, staffing and compensation, and outcomes and impacts. Prepared statements also included information on selected findings from a 15-nation study of early childhood care and education programs, the French day care system, and the experiences of one family center in Vermont.

The subsequent production of sulfuric acid due to the oxidation of this pyrite enhances the breakdown of metal-bearing sediments and can lead to leaching of major and trace metals into the waters of the region. The seasonal pattern of rainfall and current land-use activities are important aspects that intensify the natural production of acid and influence the release and distribution of metals. To identify the source and migration of metals in the Pimpama catchment and to understand the impact of pyrite oxidation on the distribution of metals in sediments and waters, several components of the drainage system were analyzed: bedrock, sediments from river bed and bank, and water. The elements analyzed in this study (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb) are all present in the bedrock material which explains their occurrence in the unconsolidated sediments of the floodplain. These metals concentrate in the upper section of the sedimentary sequence and their presence is related to clay minerals such as smectite, organic matter and iron phases. However, Zn, Mo and Co occur in higher amounts than the local background and within standard shale. This comparison suggests that the diagenetic processes alone cannot explain the higher concentrations and it is concluded that these metals also have an anthropogenic source. The formation of sulfuric acid creates conditions for higher mobility of some metals, such as Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, but does not affect less mobile ones such as Mo and Pb. Over the longterm, the production of acid influences the breakdown of mineral phases and enhances the process of weathering. Over the short term, every rain event leaches acid from sediments and mobilizes metals resulting in a substantial reduction in the quality of river water.

This has led to speculation that red wine consumption mediates unique anti-atherosclerotic effects compared to other alcoholic beverages. However, studies assessing the effects of red wine consumption on lipoprotein oxidation ex vivo have not been conclusive. The recent identification of the F sub(2)-isoprostanes as oxidative products of arachidonic acid has provided a reliable measure of in vivo lipid peroxidation. This rendomized trial investigated changes in plasma and urinary F sub(2)-isoprostane concentrations following red wine, white wine, or dealcoholized red wine, for two weeks with one week washout between beverages. Plasma and urinary F sub(2)-isoprostane concentrations were measured before and after each beverage. Serum gamma -glutamyl transpeptidase ( gamma -GT) and urinary 4-O-methylgallic acid were measured as markers of alcohol consumption and phenolic acid absorption, respectively. Plasma F sub(2)-isoprostanes (p < .05) decreased significantly with dealcoholized red wine but not with the alcohol-containing beverages. Urinary excretion of F sub(2)-isoprostanes showed a similar trend. gamma -GT decreased significantly with dealcoholized red wine and increased with both alcohol-containing beverages (p < .01). Urinary excretion of 4-0-methylgallic acid increased significantly (p < .001) in the 24 h urine samples following red wine or dealcoholized red wine ingestion, but not with white wine. Serum urate increased and beta -carotene decreased with both alcoholic beverages relative to dealcoholized red wine. There was no change in the antioxidants alpha - and gamma -tocopherol or vitamin C with any of the beverages. The results suggest that polyphenols in dealcoholized red wine can reduce in vivo lipid peroxidation as measured by F sub(2)-isoprostanes in smoking subjects. However, no reduction in lipid peroxidation was observed following red or white wine consumption, suggesting that any protective effects of wine drinking on cardiovascular disease are unlikely to be related to inhibition of lipid oxidation.

Synoptic information on suspended matter at a regular frequency is difficult to obtain from the routine in situ monitoring network since suspended matter is (like chlorophyll) a spatially inhomogeneous parameter. This can be solved by the integrated use of remote sensing data, in situ data and water quality models. A methodology previously developed for integrating information from remote sensing, and models, was applied for the assessment of suspended matter concentrations in the southern Frisian lakes in the Netherlands. The model is a one-dimensional network model. Remote sensing data (Landsat-TM5 and SPOT-HRV) were atmospherically corrected and converted to total suspended matter maps. The algorithms are based on analytical optical modelling, using the in situ inherent optical properties. This methodology enables the development of multi-temporal algorithms for estimating seston dry weight concentration in lakes from remotely sensed data; thus satellite data can now become an independent measurement tool for water management authorities.

In Northern and RT-PCR analyses, we found that the expression of mRNA of 14 genes was elevated in pancreatic cancer cell lines compared with the levels in normal pancreatic tissues. In addition, the expression of mRNA of hsp105 in colon cancer was greater than that in normal colon tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis using anti-hsp105 antibody revealed that an increased expression of hsp105 is a characteristic feature of pancreatic ductal and colon adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, hsp105 immunoreactivity in some cases of gastric, esophageal, and hepatocellular carcinoma was much stronger than that in normal corresponding tissues. These molecules identified may provide good diagnostic markers for cancer cells. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

AN - 76991621; 11262528 AB - Oxygen radicals and nitric oxide (NO) are generated in excess in a diverse array of microbial infections. Emerging concepts in free radical biology are now shedding light on the pathogenesis of various diseases. Free-radical induced pathogenicity in virus infections is of great importance, because evidence suggests that NO and oxygen radicals such as superoxide are key molecules in the pathogenesis of various infectious diseases. Although oxygen radicals and NO have an antimicrobial effect on bacteria and protozoa, they have opposing effects in virus infections such as influenza virus pneumonia and several other neurotropic virus infections. A high output of NO from inducible NO synthase, occurring in a variety of virus infections, produces highly reactive nitrogen oxide species, such as peroxynitrite, via interaction with oxygen radicals and reactive oxygen intermediates. The production of these various reactive species confers the diverse biological functions of NO. The reactive nitrogen species cause oxidative tissue injury and mutagenesis through oxidation and nitration of various biomolecules. The unique biological properties of free radicals are further illustrated by recent evidence showing accelerated viral mutation by NO-induced oxidative stress. NO appears to affect a host's immune response, with immunopathological consequences. For example, NO is reported to suppress type 1 helper T cell-dependent immune responses during infections, leading to type 2 helper T cell-biased immunological host responses. NO-induced immunosuppression may thus contribute to the pathogenesis of virus infections and help expansion of quasispecies population of viral pathogens. This review describes the pathophysiological roles of free radicals in the pathogenesis of viral disease and in viral mutation as related to both nonspecific inflammatory responses and immunological host reactions modulated by NO.

AN - 76984979; 11259839 AB - This review discusses the development and therapeutic potential of prototype macromolecular drugs for use in cancer chemotherapy, in particular the development and use of SMANCS, a conjugate of neocarzinostatin and poly(styrene-comaleic acid). The various topics covered include a brief description of the chemistry and polymer conjugation, the binding of the conjugate to albumin and the biological behaviour in vitro and in vivo after arterial injection in animals, including plasma half-life, and the lipid solubility of SMANCS in medium chain triglycerides and Lipiodol, a lipid contrast medium suitable for use in X-ray-computed tomography. The biological response-modifying effects and the tumor-targeting mechanism of SMANCS and other macromolecular drugs are also discussed. The latter mechanism is accounted for in terms of a tumor 'enhanced permeability and retention' (or EPR) effect. A principal advantage in the use of SMANCS or other macromolecular drugs is the potential for a reduction or elimination of toxicity. Macromolecular drugs such as a pyran copolymer-NCS conjugate show a marked reduction in bone marrow toxicity normally associated with the use of NCS. This is believed to be due to a hypothetical blood-bone marrow 'barrier' which, relative to NCS, restricts or limits access of the macromolecular drug to the bone marrow. In addition, the clinical possibilities for SMANCS are discussed, including the suggestion that angiotensin II-induced hypertension has clinical potential in improving the selective delivery of macromolecular drugs (i.e. SMANCS) to tumors. Aqueous SMANCS formulations have been tested in pilot studies in patients with solid tumors of the ovary, esophagus, lung, stomach, adrenal gland and in the brain. Formulations based on SMANCS/Lipiodol have been shown to be effective both as a diagnostic tool and for therapeutic use in solid tumors where the formulations are given arterially via a catheter. In a pilot study in primary unresectable hepatoma, an objective reduction in tumor size was observed for about 90% of cases when an adequate amount of the macromolecular drug was administered. A patient receiving such treatment with no active liver cirrhosis and tumor nodules/lesion confined within one liver segment might expect to have a 90% chance of survival after treatment for at least 5 years.

AN - 76965425; 11244125 AB - Aluminum (Al(3+))-dependent efflux of malate from root apices is a mechanism for Al(3+) tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum). The malate anions protect the sensitive root tips by chelating the toxic Al(3+) cations in the rhizosphere to form non-toxic complexes. Activation of malate-permeable channels in the plasma membrane could be critical in regulating this malate efflux. We examined this by investigating Al(3+)-activated channels in protoplasts from root apices of near-isogenic wheat differing in Al(3+) tolerance at a single locus. Using whole-cell patch clamp we found that Al(3+) stimulated an electrical current carried by anion efflux across the plasma membrane in the Al(3+)-tolerant (ET8) and Al(3+)-sensitive (ES8) genotypes. This current occurred more frequently, had a greater current density, and remained active for longer in ET8 protoplasts than for ES8 protoplasts. The Al(3+)-activated current exhibited higher permeability to malate(2-) than to Cl(-) (P(mal)/P(Cl) > or = 2.6) and was inhibited by anion channel antagonists, niflumate and diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid. In ET8, but not ES8, protoplasts an outward-rectifying K(+) current was activated in the presence of Al(3+) when cAMP was included in the pipette solution. These findings provide evidence that the difference in Al(3+)-induced malate efflux between Al(3+)-tolerant and Al(3+)-sensitive genotypes lies in the differing capacity for Al(3+) to activate malate permeable channels and cation channels for sustained malate release.

AN - 70612711; 11171105 AB - The compound 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB), an inhibitor of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor action in some cell types, has been used to assess the role of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors in the activation of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs) [Ma, Patterson, van Rossum, Birnbaumer, Mikoshiba and Gill (2000) Science 287, 1647-1651]. In freshly-isolated rat hepatocytes, 2-APB inhibited thapsigargin- and vasopressin-stimulated Ca2+ inflow (measured using fura-2) with no detectable effect on the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The concentration of 2-APB which gave half-maximal inhibition of Ca2+ inflow was approx. 10 microM. 2-APB also inhibited Ca2+ inflow initiated by a low concentration of adenophostin A but had no effect on maitotoxin-stimulated Ca2+ inflow through non-selective cation channels. The onset of the inhibitory effect of 2-APB on thapsigargin-stimulated Ca2+ inflow was rapid. When 2-APB was added to rat hepatocytes in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ after a vasopressin-induced plateau in the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](cyt)) had been established, the kinetics of the decrease in [Ca2+](cyt) were identical with those induced by the addition of 50 microM Gd(3+) (gadolinium). 2-APB did not inhibit the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores induced by the addition of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) to permeabilized hepatocytes. In the H4-IIE rat hepatoma cell line, 2-APB inhibited thapsigargin-stimulated Ca2+ inflow (measured using fura-2) and, in whole-cell patch-clamp experiments, the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-induced inward current carried by Ca2+. It was concluded that, in liver cells, 2-APB inhibited SOCs through a mechanism which involved the binding of 2-APB to either the channel protein or an associated regulatory protein. 2-APB appeared to be a novel inhibitor of SOCs in liver cells with a mechanism of action which, in this cell type, is unlikely to involve an interaction of 2-APB with Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors. The need for caution in the use of 2-APB as a probe for the involvement of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors in the activation of SOCs in other cell types is briefly discussed.

AN - 21357114; 7696974 AB - While forests retain carbon in plants, detritus, and soils, utility companies spew it into the air as carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind global warming. Industrial carbon dioxide emissions aren't currently regulated by federal law, but a number of companies are trying to address the problem voluntarily by launching carbon sequestration programs in heavily forested countries, where carbon is contained in so-called sinks. But the November 2000 meeting of the Kyoto Protocol delegates in The Hague collapsed over the issue of the acceptability of carbon sinks as a source of carbon pollution credits, delivering what many see as a deathblow to the concept. At issue are a host of ecological and statistical questions, differing local land use practices, cultural factors, issues of verifiability, and even disagreement over definitions of basic terms such as "forest" Kyoto negotiators are gearing up for another round of discussions in Bonn in May 2001, and it is likely that the continuing debate over carbon sinks will dominate the agenda.

We emphasize the role of information derived from various systems of traditional medicine (ethnomedicine) and its utility for drug discovery purposes. We have identified 122 compounds of defined structure, obtained from only 94 species of plants, that are used globally as drugs and demonstrate that 80% of these have had an ethnomedical use identical or related to the current use of the active elements of the plant. We identify and discuss advantages and disadvantages of using plants as starting points for drug development, specifically those used in traditional medicine.

In the two years since, significant industry restructuring has occurred. The move to quota management was intended to meet two key objectives: to reduce the catch to a sustainable level, allowing the stock to rebuild, and to provide a mechanism whereby the industry could achieve economic sustainability. The quota system has achieved early results on both the sustainability and restructuring objectives and is now well accepted and supported by the vast majority of fishers and licence holders. Its effect has been to reduce fishing effort by 29% and number of fishing vessels by 23%, and the reduction in catch has resulted in a 6% increase in the estimated biomass and substantial increases in egg production after one year. Fishers now spend fewer days at sea, and catch rates are improving. These changes are reducing fishing costs, which in time should increase profitability. Social costs of introducing quotas are that fewer fishers are employed on vessels and that fishers now find it harder and more expensive to lease a fishing licence. These costs must be factored into any assessment of the industry.

Because tagging can be an expensive option, maximizing potential benefits requires careful consideration of experimental design. We evaluated four options for improving the precision of estimates by conducting Monte Carlo simulations of a fishery patterned after that for the rock lobsters in north-western Tasmania, Australia. Improving tag-reporting rate and increasing the duration of the tagging study provided greater improvements in precision than increasing either the number of lobsters tagged per tagging event or the number of tagging events each year. A design based on twice-a-year tagging for three years to determine tag-reporting rate followed by an additional two or more years of once-a-year tagging provided the most precise estimates of natural mortality of all the designs considered. This design was also cost effective relative to the other options, but tag-reporting rate must be constant over the period of the study. If constancy cannot be assumed, then years of multiple tagging events may have to be interspersed among the years with single tagging events. Further improvements in mortality estimates from this multiyear tagging model could be achieved with improved tag-reporting rate.

To determine whether ABA was localised in the plasma or in the haemocytes, we destroyed the haemocyte membrane by sonication and analysed samples containing plasma and haemocyte lysates for ABA along with sera from the same lobsters. Haemocytes were the main site of ABA in lobster haemolymph. In an experiment designed to assess typical handling conditions, lobsters were placed for 6 h under treatment conditions simulating five transport/storage approaches: submerged in flow-through water, sprayed with flow-through water, submerged in recirculating water, sprayed with recirculating water, and exposed to humid air. The lowest ABA was observed in the two submerged treatments and the highest in the two spray treatments. Lobsters that subsequently survived a simulated live-shipment procedure exhibited significantly lower ABA than did those found dead or weak during a subsequent 7 days of holding in the tank. We concluded that handling stress is associated with high ABA level in lobster haemolymph.

A log-log relationship with body weight (W) remained constant over the range 15-31 degree C. M sub(O2) was related to body weight and temperature (T): log sub(10)M sub(O2) = 0.814log sub(10)W + 0.051T - 2.075. In 400-500 g lobsters it showed a strong response to acute temperature changes (23-19-15-11 and 23-27-31 degree C): log sub(10)M sub(O2) = 0.045T - 2.38. Activity caused a significant (P <0.001) increase in M sub(O2), with the response being modulated by temperature and body weight. Lobsters took 5-8 h to recover from exposure to handling and emersion, the duration of the recovery period being longer at higher temperatures. A nocturnal rhythm to oxygen consumption was evident. There was a large and sustained specific dynamic action, with a peak M sub(O2) of 2.19 times the standard rate occurring 7 h after feeding. M sub(O2) at 23 degree C was independent of the oxygen tension down to a critical oxygen tension (P sub(c)) of 46.2 Torr, below which M sub(O2) varied directly with the oxygen tension. P sub(c) varied with temperature and activity state. The data allow the design of live-holding systems and practices that provide the oxygen requirements of captive P. cygnus..

Following individual assessment of 291 children, 31 were identified as at risk of DCD at this age. One year later, 30 of these children were retested, and 23 were still found to be at risk. These children were matched on verbal IQ, age and sex with control children and their performance compared on the kinaesthetic acuity test (KAT) and three subtests of the WPPSI-R performance IQ. Both the KAT and the performance subtest scores were found to be significantly poorer in the children at risk of DCD. Follow-up testing one year later showed that both groups improved their kinaesthetic acuity score although the control children remained significantly better than the children with poor motor coordination.

Bluggoe) embryogenic cells. The rice act1 and maize ubi1 introns provided the highest levels of intron-mediated enhancement of GUS expression, increasing native BT6.1 promoter activity by about 300-fold and 100-fold, respectively. The sugarcane rbcS intron increased expression about tenfold, whereas the adh1 intron had no significant effect. In regenerated transgenic banana plants, the ubi1 intron significantly enhanced BT6.1 promoter activity to levels similar to that of the CaMV 35 S promoter and did not appear to affect the tissue specificity of the promoter.

A group of children aged 8-10 years, and a group of adolescents aged 12-14 years, with significant movement problems were compared with matched control groups on measures of perceived competence, perceived social support, self-worth and anxiety. Those with DCD were found to perceive themselves as less competent in several domains, and having less social support than control participants. Overall, DCD groups had lower self-worth and higher levels of anxiety than the control groups. Adolescents also perceived themselves as less competent with poorer social support and lower self-worth than younger children. In addition, anxiety was significantly higher for the adolescent group compared to their younger counterparts.

Hook. f in Tasmania AN - 17915856; 5153239 AB - To examine the response of ring widths of Phyllocladus aspleniifolius to maximum and minimum temperatures and to a zonal index (ZI). Tasmania, Australia. Between two and four increment cores were obtained from approximately 20 trees at each of 16 sites of P. aspleniifolius across Tasmania. Four regions were defined and temperature data for climate stations from each of these regions were transformed into dimensionless time series appropriate for each region. The ZI was constructed from Melbourne and Hobart mean sea level pressure (MSLP). Correlations were calculated between climate data and ring widths over most of the 20th century. Data were then segregated into two subperiods to assess whether or not temporal changes in ring width response have occurred over the 20th century. The dominant feature of the correlation functions was a negative correlation with temperatures of the previous growing season. Correlation between the ZI and ring width is most significant, and positive, in November and March of the previous growing season. Differences in the shape of the correlation functions, and their strength is apparent over the course of the century. In general, correlations have become weaker and less consistent among the 16 sites for the latter part of the century. Temperatures have generally increased during the 1900s over which time period correlations have been calculated. The temporally changing climatic response in ring widths is consistent with a hypothesis of competition for resources between different parts of a plant. A nonlinear response to climate over a short-time period violates one of the basic assumptions of dendroclimatology, therefore suggesting further investigation of both the physiology of trees used for dendroclimatological purposes and the statistical methods used for climatic reconstruction.

The spatially explicit neutral model distributes individuals of species randomly and independently of one another in space to produce a positive abundance-occupancy relationship. Using empirical data, we tested whether abundance-occupancy relationships diverged significantly from the theoretical neutral model, and determined whether significant divergences emerged through intraspecific aggregation or over-dispersion of individuals. Field work was conducted in open-forest vegetation of the Black Mountain region in south-eastern Australia. At eight floristically similar sites in open-forest vegetation, we established a 20 x 20 m census plot and spatially mapped all individuals of each woody species. The abundance and distribution of each species was determined at each site at three spatial scales within the census plot. Observed abundance-occupancy relationships were compared with the spatially explicit neutral model using linear regression techniques. Monte-Carlo methods using a two dimensional Poisson process were then used to classify the spatial structure of species as random, aggregated or over-dispersed. We found consistent evidence among the eight sites for abundance-occupancy relationships to diverge significantly from the neutral model at the three spatial scales within each community. The direction that the slopes of relationships diverged from the neutral model provided consistent evidence that aggregation of individuals within species was responsible for modifying the form of abundance-occupancy associations in this vegetation, a feature most evident with increasing scale. Aggregation is not a mechanism that causes positive abundance-occupancy relationships. Under the neutral model of a positive abundance-occupancy relationship, aggregation should be viewed as a mechanism which modifies a pre-existing relationship, rather than causing a relationship which would not have otherwise existed. In other words, in the absence of aggregation a positive abundance-occupancy relationship would still exist.

Assuming a linear adsorption/desorption isotherm, rapid equilibrium adsorption, and transport by molecular diffusion, estimates are derived for (a) the rates of exchange between the adsorbed phosphorus pool in the sediments and the dissolved pool in the water column and (b) time scales to re-establish equilibrium after a step change in the water column phosphorus concentration. For oxic sediments, the time scale is of the order of tens of days. Anoxic release is much faster; the time scale is tens of minutes. The release of treated sewage at Narrabri abruptly raises the phosphorus concentration in the Namoi River. The concentration only returns to its original level 10-20 km downstream. A sediment adsorptive-uptake model underestimates the downstream phosphorus uptake rates. An alternative model, based on biotic uptake by Cladophora, describes reality better. It treats phosphorus transfer as controlled by physical transport processes and by the phosphorus uptake capacity of the biota. We show also that carp resuspension is faster than diffusion (6 v. 28 days) in restoring phosphorus concentrations in the water column after perturbation by rapid algal drawdown.

The analysis is in the context of dramatic human influences on river sediment transport and how they might influence freshwater ecosystems. The review of Australian work shows that erosion of hillslopes and stream banks has greatly increased in historical times, supplying vast quantities of sediment to rivers, much of which is still stored within the river system. The stored sediment will continue to effect in-stream and estuarine ecosystems for many decades. In most Australian catchments the dominant source of sediment is streambank erosion. An analysis of historical channel widening suggests that a conceptual framework of relative stream power can explain the diversity of behaviour observed in the numerous case studies. Sediment delivery through catchments is considered first in a generic whole network sense, which emphasizes the crucial role played by riverine deposition in determining catchment sediment budgets. A method is then presented for analysing the diverse spatial patterns of sediment storage in any river network. Finally, the paper considers the temporal changes to channel morphology in response to a human-induced pulse of sediment.

Management must determine the use and development of the natural resource. The first-best policy uses price to offset the externalities of crowding and deterioration. This is contrasted with two second-best polices which do not use pricing: unrestricted access and quotas. A condition under which a relaxation of quota level increases efficiency is derived. Under iso-elastic functional forms quotas are less efficient than unrestricted access.

A laboratory scale spouted-bed combustion system is used to study the effectiveness of several control methods including the use of alternative bed materials, mineral additives, pretreatment of coal and coal blending. Sillimanite, bauxite, calcite and magnesite were used as alternative bed materials whereas mineral additives viz. clay, kaosil and bauxite were injected into the combustion system while burning South Australian low-rank coal at 800 degree C. Samples of the same coal subjected to water-washing, Al pretreatment and Ca pretreatment are also tested in the spouted-bed combustor. In addition, experiments were conducted with several coal blends prepared at ratios of 50:50 and 90:10 from two lignites and one sub-bituminous coal. Experiments showed that all the control methods are effective to different extents in reducing ash problems and resulted in extended combustion operation. Tests with alternative bed materials and mineral additives showed trouble free-operation for longer periods (7-12 h at 800 degree C) than with sand runs at the same bed temperature. Wet pretreatment and coal blending were also found to be effective and resulted in extended combustion operation (9-12 h at 800 degree C). Chemical analyses indicated that formation of low temperature eutectics was suppressed by Al/Ca/Mg-rich phases in ash coating of bed particles. This was identified as the main mechanism for prevention of ash problems observed with the use of alternative bed materials, mineral additives, pretreated coals and coal blends.

In this study, we identify three NF- Kappa B binding, sites within the human procollagen alpha sub(1)[I] gene promoter, show that titanium particles stimulate their binding of the NF- Kappa B subunits Rel A (p65) and NF- Kappa B1 (p5O), and find NF- Kappa B activation correlates with collagen gene suppression by titanium particles in osteoblasts. Protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors, which significantly reduce the suppressive effect of titanium particles on collagen gene expression, inhibited NF- Kappa B binding activity showing that titanium particle stimulation of PTK signals in osteoblasts are critical for both NF- Kappa B activation and collagen gene expression. The antioxidant pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), which also inhibits the titanium particle suppression of collagen, abrogated the titanium particle activation of NF- Kappa B, suggesting the involvement of redox signals in NF- Kappa B-mediated collagen gene expression. The RNA polymerase II inhibitor actinomycin D (Act D) decreased procollagen alpha sub(1)[I] mRNA expression and effectively blocked the titanium-induced suppressive effect, suggesting that titanium particles activate a cascade of signals in osteoblasts, which result in a suppression of procollagen alpha sub(1)[I] mRNA. Collectively, these results show that titanium particles can activate NF- Kappa B signaling in osteoblasts and suggest that NF- Kappa B binding to the collagen gene promoter has a functional role in the down-regulation of procollagen alpha sub(1)[I] gene transcription.

One-hundred and thirty-seven vascular species were recorded at the understory in this 3.2 ha planted forest stand of indigenous conifer - Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa. These species included 52.5% herb, 13.9% climber, 15.3% shrub and 18.2% tree species. This species diversity was sustained by dynamic attributes of the patches which were generated and modified by disturbances originating from human activities and natural processes. Past management practices contributed largely to the variation of canopy openings, and continued human activities such as trampling added heterogeneity by soil compaction. These anthropogenic and natural disturbances interacted to effect the pattern of plant species diversity and composition.

AN - 1730095431; 11702247 AB - Global atmospheric temperatures are presently in a warming phase that began 250--300 years ago. Speculations on the potential impact of continued warming on human health often focus on mosquito-borne diseases. Elementary models suggest that higher global temperatures will enhance their transmission rates and extend their geographic ranges. However, the histories of three such diseases--malaria, yellow fever, and dengue--reveal that climate has rarely been the principal determinant of their prevalence or range; human activities and their impact on local ecology have generally been much more significant. It is therefore inappropriate to use climate-based models to predict future prevalence.

Results showed that, in the presence of fibrinogen, nickel chloride induced platelet aggregation and released ATP from the internal stores. The data suggested that Ni caused these actions without entering the cell. Pretreatment with a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor significantly reduced Ni-induced platelet aggregation. Platelet response to Ni appeared to occur in two steps: the initial contact and binding to GpIb-V-IX complex and a second step leading to the conversion of GpIIb-IIIa to an activated state necessary to support platelet aggregation.

Personal interviews were used to identify possible risk factors for exposure. One community, which was south of the city, was densely populated with predominantly lower- to middle-income families, many of whom resided in multifamily dwellings. The other community, which was located north of the city, was inhabited mainly by middle- to upper-income families living in single-family homes. Results showed that 86% of the study children had at least one measurable dialkylphosphate metabolite, and no significant differences in metabolite concentrations were found across communities. However, children living in a household with a garden had significantly higher diethyl dialkylphosphate concentrations than those without a garden, and children had significantly higher dialkylphosphate concentrations when living in households where garden pesticide use was reported. Significantly higher dimethyl dialkylphosphate concentrations were also found in children who had pets in the household.

The frequency of micronuclei was the genetic endpoint evaluated. The blood Pb levels in the exposed workers were about three times higher than those in the controls. When the overall control data for the frequency of binucleated cells with micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes were compared with the pooled exposed data, the differences were significant, indicating a clear genotoxic effect of Pb exposure. Significant differences were also noted between very low and moderate Pb exposure levels and between moderate and high exposure levels.

Results showed that in utero and lactational DEHP exposure altered male reproductive system development significantly. Among the observed effects were reductions in testis, epididymis, ventral prostate, and seminal vesicle weights, areola and nipple retention, reduction in glans penis weight, penile abnormalities, undescended testes, permanently incomplete preputial separation, and demasculinized sexual behaviors. Nearly every effect was a classic sign of antiandrogenic activity. The effects on masculine sexual behaviors appeared to be due to incomplete sexual differentiation of the central nervous system.

In this study, white leghorn cockerels were exposed to acrolein at concentrations of 0, 1, or 10 ppm mixed with filtered air for 6 h, and acroleinDNA adduct formation in the aorta and aortic plaque development were examined. The adduct, AdG3, was identified in vascular tissue, and the data suggested a doseresponse for adduct formation resulting from inhaled acrolein. The significantly lower levels of AdG3 at 10 d compared with 1 d were consistent with repair of the acrolein-induced DNA damage. Exposure to 1 ppm acrolein had no effect on plaque development.

Blood samples were collected bimonthly over six months of Ca supplementation. One group received a complex Ca supplement, another received Ca carbonate, and a third served as a control. The Pb isotope compositions of the supplements were used to estimate the contribution to blood Pb levels. The potential impact on blood Pb from the two Ca supplements was not detectable in the case of the complex product, and only a small contribution was detected in the case of the Ca carbonate product. Even though the Pb exposure from the Ca supplements was approximately half the recommended daily intake of Pb, the contribution to blood Pb was found to be minimal.

The drR strain of the medaka was used, in which serial sections in the transverse plane of the brain were used to localize areas with higher levels of aromatase activity. Subsequently, the effect of sex steroids on the activity of aromatase was examined by exposing 57-month-old male medaka to the estrogen, estradiol, and the androgen, 17 alpha -methyl-4-androsten-17 beta -ol-3-one, which was designated methyltestosterone. Results showed that the activity of brain aromatase was significantly different between males and females. Exposure of male medaka to estradiol altered the activity of brain aromatase by inducing an anteriorposterior profile of aromatase activity distribution in the medial hypothalamus characteristic of the female. The effects of estradiol were both dose- and time-dependent.

Levels were also examined in prepared foods and in feces. Fumonisin B sub(1) concentrations ranging 0.122.2 mg/kg were found in 32% of the maize samples in the rural area, while concentrations ranging 0.20.5 mg/kg were found in only 6% of the maize samples from the urban area. In addition, 29% of the rural cooked maize meal samples contained detectable fumonisin B sub(1) concentrations ranging 0.10.5 mg/kg, whereas the urban samples had no detectable levels. Fermented maize, homebrew, and unprocessed sorghum from neither region contained any detectable levels of the mycotoxin. Of the 40 rural fecal samples analyzed, 33% were positive for fumonisin B sub(1), while only 7% of the urban fecal samples were positive.

The duration of subsequent exposure of the population to PCBs was estimated to have lasted four months. Results are presented from analyses of samples collected from the end of May until August 1999. The data were used to estimate the overall population exposure and the exposure that might have resulted from selected diets. In all, 20,491 samples from cattle, pigs, poultry, eggs, milk, and various fat-containing food items were collected and analyzed. The mean concentrations of PCBs in chicken, milk, and eggs were 170.3, 1.9, and 32.0 pg, respectively. The mean intake per kilogram body weight was calculated not to exceed 25,000 ng, assuming ingestion of 1015 kg PCBs. The number of cancer deaths resulting from the incident was estimated to range 448316, and neurotoxic and behavioral effects in neonates were predicted to occur.

III: Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Considerations AN - 14573066; 10602825 AB - Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are outlined that can be used to improve risk assessment of developmental neurotoxicants. Exposure to the developing nervous system is a function of the dose administered to the mother and the pharmacokinetics of the compound in the maternal, placental, and embryo/fetal circulations. Factors are described that modify in utero exposure of the developing nervous system, as well as factors that modify postnatal exposure of the developing nervous system, methods used to confirm exposure of the developing nervous system, biochemical markers of exposure, and the application of dosimetry modeling to developmental neurotoxicology. Also considered is the experimental design of pharmacokinetic studies in developmental neurotoxicity.

The oscillatory contractions of uterine strips exposed in vitro to the PCBs were monitored. The most prominent and significant effect of both PCB mixtures on uterine contraction was to increase the frequency of oscillatory contractions. Aroclor 1242 and Aroclor 1248 were more potent than Aroclor 1254, and the microbially dechlorinated Aroclor 1242 and 1254 mixtures were more potent than their parent commercial mixtures. The PCB mixtures with lower chlorine content and less chlorination of congeners exhibited increased uterotonic activity. Microbial dechlorination markedly increased the uterotonic activity of the commercial mixtures.

The data revealed that noncytotoxic doses of arsenite significantly reduced the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase promoter- and glucocorticoid response elements-driven luciferase constructs. The activity appeared to involve alterations in the nuclear function of glucocorticoid receptor as a transcription factor, as there were no effects on hormone-stimulated translocation of glucocorticoid receptor from the cytosol to the nucleus. The results suggested that glucocorticoid receptor mediated suppression of tumor promotion in skin and lung by suppressing cell growth and inducing differentiation, and that down-regulation of glucocorticoid receptor or loss of its function permitted tumor growth.

Examples of shifts in normal hormonal values associated with a physiological change in phenotype are described, along with the adaptive endocrine consequences of age, stress, nutrition, exercise, and chronic disease. The deleterious effects of hormonal imbalance in adults are then considered, such as borderline hypo- and hyperthyroidism, glucose intolerance, mild hyperprolactinemia, and mild hyperandrogenism. Based on the clinical experience in endocrine disease, it is argued that traditional toxicologic low-dose testing may not be suitable for determining endocrine effects.

Here, the present state of knowledge about the environmental occurrence, human exposure, and toxicity of PBDEs is summarized. Extensive data are presented on the production and use of PBDEs; levels of the compounds in air, sewage sludge, water and sediment, aquatic organisms, and terrestrial/avian organisms; temporal concentrations of the compounds; bioaccumulation and biomagnification; the effects of incineration, photodegradation, and biodegradation; PBDEs in fish, dairy products, breast milk, and other food groups; PBDE levels in humans; toxicokinetics; and toxicology in animals and humans. The toxicology data suggest that the acute toxicity of PBDEs is low; they have at most only slightly irritating properties; and they are not skin sensitizers. Target organs are the liver, kidney, and thyroid gland. The most sensitive endpoints have been shown to be hepatomegaly with cytoplasmic eosinophilic round bodies, fetal and maternal toxicity, and disturbances of thyroid homeostasis.

The insecticides of interest are DDT, DDE, and dieldrin. Data are presented on the relative estrogenic potencies of DDT and DDE, historical exposure to the compounds, dietary factors, the relationship of DDE to menopausal status and breast cancer risk, lactation history, estrogen-receptor status, effects of race and ethnicity, breast tumor characteristics, estrogenicity of dieldrin, and potential routes of dieldrin exposure. The data fail to confirm earlier observations of a significant positive relationship between serum or adipose tissue levels of DDT and DDE and breast cancer risk. In terms of dieldrin, a relationship has been found between serum levels and breast cancer risk in Denmark, but not in the US.

Hearing before the Committee on Government Reform, House of Representatives. One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session. AN - 62189154; ED467485 AB - These hearings before the House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform address the issue of whether the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is working as Congress intended. First, an introduction by the Chairman, Dan Burton, notes the difficulties that parents are having in accessing appropriate public education. Next are statements by individuals representing the following organizations: Office of Special Education Programs, Department of Education; National Association of Sate Directors of Special Education; National Education Association; and the National Council on Disability. Additional letters, statements, and other materials submitted for the record are also included. Some of the issues addressed include: the apparently increasing incidence of autism; inconsistent implementation of and compliance with IDEA; failure of Congress to fulfill its promise to provide 40% of excess special education costs; and a loophole in the 1997 amendments that allows states to shift federal education funding to non-educational purposes.

Subcatchments were defined by exclusion drains in the upper reaches and stainless steel barriers at the lower boundary. Water samples were analysed for 20 different chemical fractions. Chemical loads were examined in order to determine relationships among simple empirical event and site characteristics, and between chemical fractions. All but five of the chemical fractions could be separated into one of two clear groups using a statistical technique based on the magnitude of simple correlation coefficients. The two groups consisted of either dissolved or particulate fractions. The clear separation into these groups is consistent with the majority of chemical fractions moving from pasture by one of only two processes. Simple empirical variables in a multiple regression explained a high proportion of variation in chemical loads in runoff water. These findings may have major implications in the modelling and prediction of chemical loads in runoff from agricultural catchments and the setting of environmental limits, in simplifying chemical loss predictions by adding a nutrient loss module to runoff volume predictions.

The accumulations can contribute to wildfire conflagrations, contribute to pest problems, and reduce native biodiversity. In healthy forest ecosystems, especially those consisting of southern yellow pine and Ponderosa pine, surface fires occurred naturally every 525 yr, burning the grass, pine needles, and other small fuels. A major concern of biomass accumulation is a rise in timber mortality on western federal lands over the past 20 yr. Several tools are outlined for improving forest health, including salvage and other timber harvesting, prescribed burning, precommercial thinning, chemically reducing undesirable competing vegetation, and pruning, and legislative and administrative efforts to improve forest health in the national forests are noted.

Of the 207 strains, 59.9, 27.5 and 12.6% belonged to serotypes 1/2a, 1/2b and 4b, respectively. In addition, 175 strains of L. monocytogenes produced lecithinase while strains of the other species did not. Some of the non-L. monocytogenes strains adsorbed the dye Congo red, while some L. monocytogenes did not. Statistical analysis of the results showed significant differences (P < 0.05) amongst the virulence tests and the three serotypes found. In the present study, 32 L. monocytogenes strains were also analyzed by RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA). RAPD analysis allowed the discrimination among strains of different serotypes, as well as among strains of the same serotype. It is important to emphasize that the use of more than one primer is needed for characterization of L. monocytogenes strains. With RAPD the strains were grouped into six different profiles, some of them common for strains belonging to different serotypes. The results also indicated a close genetic relationship among strains of different serotypes.

The seedling attributes quantified were cotyledon phenolic, cyanide and nitrogen concentrations, and cotyledon area, thickness and specific leaf area. Only phenolic content was significantly correlated (negatively) with field rates of herbivore attack. This finding shows that the phenomenon of selective herbivore attack on seedlings may be influenced by a specific plant life-history trait, (in this case cotyledon phenolic concentration). In addition, we also studied the interaction between fire, serotiny and herbivory in matched burned and unburned plots. Although herbivore activity was greater in unburned plots, weakly serotinous species were as prone to defoliation as congeneric, strongly serotinous species, even though their seedlings recruit successfully in the absence of fire. This result suggests that seedlings of species able to establish between fires are not better defended against the higher levels of herbivory normally associated with unburned vegetation.

Trends in annual age-specific lung cancer mortality were estimated for 1965-1998. Age-specific mortality rates and age-adjusted ratios of mortality rates were calculated for birth cohorts. Proportions of smokers in those cohorts were estimated from results of eight national surveys of smoking, and their mean ages of commencement and years of smoking were assessed from surveys of smokers in two states. Lung cancer mortality rates of 20-44-year-old Australian women peaked in 1986. Age-adjusted mortality rates are lower for women born in the 1950s and 1960s than for women born in the 1940s, despite higher proportions of smokers, younger age of commencement and longer duration of smoking by age 30 years in the more recent cohorts. Increased smoking has not resulted in higher lung cancer mortality for Australian women born in the 1950s and 1960s. Reductions in tar yields of Australian-made cigarettes, which would have affected primarily those born after the 1940s, may be responsible.

AN - 76978817; 11256284 AB - To assess the toxicity from residues of controlled-release formulations of ivermectin and albendazole to insects that feed on sheep faeces. In two consecutive years, groups of sheep were treated with controlled-release capsules of ivermectin or albendazole. Untreated sheep were used as controls. Larvae of the bush fly, Musca vetustissima, and adults and larvae of the dung beetles, Onthophagus taurus and Euoniticellus fulvus were fed on faeces collected at intervals after drug treatment. In assays using beetles, treatment effects were assessed by comparing numbers of eggs laid, survival of juveniles and survival of mature and immature adults. Survival at time of pupariation was used in assays on flies. Faeces from sheep treated with albendazole had no detectable effects on breeding by either flies or beetles. In contrast, faeces voided by sheep treated with controlled-release capsules of ivermectin (CRI) precluded successful breeding by each of the species tested. No fly larvae and almost no beetle larvae survived in faeces collected up to 39 days after capsule administration. Newly-emerged O taurus also suffered significant mortality whereas those that survived underwent delayed sexual maturation. Ivermectin residues had no effect on the survival of sexually mature beetles, but reduced the fecundity of O taurus. A model simulating the effects of drug residues on dung beetle populations indicates that CRIs have the potential to cause substantial declines in beetle numbers, particularly if treatment coincides with spring emergence.

The assemblages have been deposited in a variable sea ice zone over the last ca. 10,500 yr BP in response to a climate change. In the Late Pleistocene/early Holocene (10,580-7890 yr BP), a sea ice diatom assemblage was deposited in the presence of a retreating ice shelf at the head of the fjord. In the mid Holocene (7890-3850 yr BP), an open water assemblage was deposited and sea ice cover was at a minimum. We associate the assemblage with climatic warming, which characterizes much of the Antarctic Peninsula during this time. A second sea ice assemblage, different from that deposited in the early Holocene, has been deposited in Lallemand Fjord since the late Holocene (<3850 yr BP). The assemblage reflects Neoglacial cooling, an increase in sea ice extent and/or an advance of the Muller Ice Shelf.

Analytical results for Al, B, Ba, Ca, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Rb, Si, Sr, Th, U and Y concentrations are reported here. Graphical methods of data analysis, such as geochemical maps, cumulative frequency diagrams, boxplots and scatterplots, are used to interpret the origin of the patterns for these elements. None of the elements reported here are emitted in significant amounts from the smelting industry on the Kola Peninsula. Despite the conventional view that moss chemistry reflects atmospheric element input, the nature of the underlying mineral substrate (regolith or bedrock) is found to have a considerable influence on moss composition for several elements. This influence of the chemistry of the mineral substrate can take place in a variety of ways. (1) It can be completely natural, reflecting the ability of higher plants to take up elements from deep soil horizons and shed them with litterfall onto the surface. (2) It can result from naturally increased soil dust input where vegetation is scarce due to harsh climatic conditions for instance. Alternatively, substrate influence can be enhanced by human activity, such as open-cast mining, creation of `technogenic deserts', or handling, transport and storage of ore and ore products, all of which magnify the natural elemental flux from bedrock to ground vegetation. Seaspray is another natural process affecting moss composition in the area (Mg, Na), and this is most visible in the Norwegian part of the study area. Presence or absence of some plant species, e.g., lichens, seems to influence moss chemistry. This is shown by the low concentrations of B or K in moss on the Finnish and Norwegian side of the (fenced) border with Russia, contrasting with high concentrations on the other side (intensive reindeer husbandry west of the border has selectively depleted the lichen population).

Schooner was achieved using Agrobacterium delivery, hygromycin or bialaphos selection and embryogenic callus. Using this system, transgenic plants were generated that contained either the green fluorescent protein gene, or transgenes derived from barley yellow dwarf (BYDV) and cereal yellow dwarf (CYDV) viruses. Many of these plants contained 1-3 transgene copies that were inherited in a simple Mendelian manner. Some plants containing BYDV and/or CYDV derived transgenes showed reduced virus symptoms and rates of viral replication when challenged with the appropriate virus. The ability to transform Schooner is a significant advance for the Australian barley industry, as this elite malting variety is, and has for the last 15 years been, the most widely grown barley variety in eastern Australia.

By creating and cannulating pseudoafferent lymphatic vessels draining a defined region of skin, migrating cells were collected and enumerated throughout the response to UV-B irradiation. In the present study, the effects of exposing sheep flank skin to UV-B radiation clearly demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in the migration of Langerhans cells (LC) from the UV-B-exposed area to the draining lymph node. The range of UV-B doses assessed in this study included 2.7 kJ/m super(2), a suberythemal dose; 8 kJ/m super(2), 1 minimal erythemal dose (MED); 20.1 kJ/m super(2); 40.2 kJ/m super(2); and 80.4 kJ/m super(2), 10 MED. The LC were the cells most sensitive to UV-B treatment, with exposure to 8 kJ/m super(2) or greater reproducibly causing a significant increase in migration. Migration of gamma delta super(+) dendritic cells ( gamma delta super(+) DC) from irradiated skin was also triggered by exposure to UV-B radiation, but dose dependency was not evident within the range of UV-B doses examined. This, in conjunction with the lack of any consistent correlation between either the timing or magnitude of migration peaks of these two cell types, suggests that different mechanisms govern the egress of LC and gamma delta super(+) DC from the skin. It is concluded that the depression of normal immune function in the skin after exposure to erythemal doses of UV-B radiation is associated with changes in the migration patterns of epidermal dendritic cells to local lymph nodes.

AN - 18232835; 5281157 AB - Nodal explants from hop were exposed to plant growth regulators to determine suitable media for initiation from axillary buds and subsequent micropropagation. Efficient culture establishment (96.6% of explants) was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (modified to contain 1 mg l super(- 1) thiamine hydrochloride) supplemented with 0.57 mu M indoleacetic acid (IAA) and 2.22 mu M 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). Subsequent transfer of explants to treatments containing an auxin ([1-naphthaleneacetic acid] NAA or IAA) and BA, 6-[ gamma , gamma -dimethylallylamino]purine (2iP), kinetin (KIN) or thidiazuron (N-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thidiazol-5-ylurea [TDZ]) resulted in significantly different amounts of multiplication. Optimal TDZ-supplemented media elicited a greater than threefold increase in the number of shoots and nodes generated per explant compared to optimal media containing BA, 2iP and KIN. Shoots were successfully rooted using half-strength MS supplemented with 5.71 mu M IAA and 4.9 mu M indolebutyric acid (IBA), and regenerated plants were successfully transferred to soil. An overall micropropagation schedule, which can be implemented into hop commercialization programs, includes: (i) establishment in MS with 0.57 mu M IAA and 2.22 mu M BA; (ii) multiplication in MS with 0.57 mu M IAA and 2.27 mu M TDZ; (iii) elongation in MS; and (iv) rooting in half-strength MS with 5.71 mu M IAA and 4.9 mu M IBA.

Thirty fish were tagged in late 1997, and to date there have been nine recaptures (30% recapture rate). Periods at liberty varied from 8 days to 18 months. The sharks spent about 80% of their time on the continental shelf, and appeared to swim close to the bottom during the day. At night they often ascended for periods of up to several hours, except at times around the full moon. When in deep water, the sharks typically descended at dawn to depths of up to 600 m, before ascending at dusk. It was not possible to use the light data from the tags to estimate position when the sharks were in deep water, because they were often at depths beyond the sensitivity of the tag. In shallower water, longitude was estimated from the light data but latitude was estimated from the maximum daily depth, assuming the fish were on the bottom. The timing of the dives in deepwater appeared sufficiently regular to offer the prospect of using it to estimate longitude.

In this study, surface energy and surface roughness were investigated to ascertain which of these properties show more overall influence on biomaterial-cell adhesion and colonization. Jet impingement was used to quantify cellular adhesion strength. Cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion were used to characterize colonization of 3T3MC fibroblasts on: HS25 (a cobalt based implant alloy, ASTM F75), 316L stainless steel, Ti-6Al-4V (a titanium implant alloy), commercially pure tantalum (Ta), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone rubber (SR), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The metals exhibited a nearly five-fold greater adhesion strength than the polymeric materials tested. Generally, surface energy was proportional to cellular adhesion strength. Only polymeric materials demonstrated significant increased adhesion strength associated with increased surface roughness. Cellular adhesion on metals demonstrated a linear correlation with surface energy. Less than half as much cellular proliferation was detected on polymeric materials compared to the metals. However the polymers tested demonstrated greater than twice the amount of secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins on a per cell basis than the metallic materials. Thus, surface energy may be a more important determinant of cell adhesion and proliferation, and may be more useful than surface roughness for directing cell adhesion and cell colonization onto engineered tissue scaffoldings.

The lack of knowledge about which species are present in Tasmania and their potential risk to the plantation industry prompted this study into the Mycosphaerella species occurring on Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus nitens plantations in Tasmania. A total of 36 plantation and five road verge sites of E. globulus and E. nitens were sampled. Five Mycosphaerella species and three species from associated anamorph genera were isolated and identified in Tasmania; Mycosphaerella nubilosa, Mycosphaerella cryptica, Mycosphaerella tasmaniensis, Mycosphaerella grandis, Mycosphaerella vespa, Coniothyrium ovatum, Sonderhenia eucalypticola and Sonderhenia eucalyptorum. The most frequently isolated species with the highest incidence and severity of infection were M. cryptica and M. nubilosa. These two species appear to have the greatest potential to damage juvenile eucalypt plantations in Tasmania. A link between Mycosphaerella vespa and Coniothyrium ovatum is described for the first time.

Each treatment was administered for 16 days either through the water column or through the diet (amphipod, Allorchestes compressa). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) elimination was determined by measuring biliary benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) and naphthalene-type metabolites. Biliary PAH-type metabolite concentrations varied with the type of oil spill remediation technique, route of exposure (food versus water), and exposure concentration. Fish exposed to chemically dispersed crude oil via the water exhibited the highest PAH-type biliary metabolite concentrations, relative to fish exposed to other treatments. In fish exposed via the diet, the highest concentration of both types of biliary metabolites also appeared in the dispersed oil-exposed individuals. The results suggest that chemically dispersing oil may have the greatest effect on bioavailability of hydrocarbons, both through waterborne and food chain exposures.

The total P content of shoots from IHP-supplied plants grown in agar was between 20% and 34% of that for seedlings supplied with an equivalent amount of P as inorganic phosphate (P sub(i)), while in sand-vermiculite, the total P content of IHP-grown plants was between 5 and 10% of control plants. The poor ability of plants to utilize P from IHP resulted in significantly lower tissue P concentrations and, in general, reduced plant dry weight accumulation. In contrast, the P nutrition of plants supplied with IHP was significantly improved by inoculating media with either a cultured population of total soil micro-organisms or with a specific isolate of Pseudomonas sp., selected for its ability to release phosphate from IHP (strain CCAR59; Richardson and Hadobas, 1997 Can. J. Micro. 43, 509-516). In agar and sand-vermiculite media, respectively, the P content of IHP-grown plants increased with inoculation by up to 3.9- and 6.8-fold, such that the dry weight and P content of the plant material were equivalent to those observed for control plants supplied with P sub(i). However, the response to inoculation was dependent on the growth medium and the source of micro-organisms used. In sand-vermiculite, the cultured population of soil micro-organisms was effective when IHP was supplied at an equivalent level of P sub(i) required for maximum plant growth. By comparison, inoculation of plants with the Pseudomonas strain was only effective at very high levels of IHP supply ( x 36), whereas in agar a response to inoculation occurred at all levels of IHP. The ability of pasture plants to acquire P from phytate was, therefore, influenced by the availability of IHP substrate, which was further affected by the presence of soil micro-organisms. Our results show that in addition to having an effect on the sorption characteristics of the growth media, soil micro-organisms also provided a source of phytase for the dephosphorylation of phytate for subsequent utilization of P sub(i) by plants.

A dithiocarbamate-chelation/back-extraction technique was used to separate and preconcentrate Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb from eight collected water samples prior to analysis by ICP-SMS and GF-AAS. A number of other elements in the waters were analysed directly (Mn, Fe and Zn by GF-AAS; As by HG-AFS), or following sample dilution (1 + 19; V, Mn, Fe, As, Mo, Ba and U by ICP-SMS). Where possible, previously corroborated GF-AAS and HG-AFS techniques were used to verify obtained ICP-SMS results. From the analysis of four reference waters (SLEW-1 and -2, SLRS-3 and NASS-5), good agreement, to within plus or minus 10-20%, was typically found between certified (or information only values) and measured results (irrespective of analytical technique). Exceptions included Zn (and sometimes Fe) that could not be quantified by ICP-SMS due to elevated blank signals, and As which was found to lie below ICP-SMS detection limits. For Huon Estuary water samples, inter-method agreement was within plus or minus 10-20% (for those elements amenable to analysis by more than one technique). Nitric acid extracts of two certified reference materials (Buffalo River Sediment and BCSS-1) and six Huon Estuary sediments were analysed by ICP-SMS (for Al, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) and HG-AFS (for As). Results from the certified reference materials indicated extraction efficiencies of 60-70% (for most elements). A close correlation between ICP-SMS and HG-AFS was obtained for leachable As in the sediments. In terms of potential inorganic contaminants, the Huon Estuary was found to be a relatively `clean' water system. The elemental concentrations measured in water and sediment samples from this region were found to lie within current Australian guidelines for estuaries. In general, no one analytical technique was able to accurately determine all elements in all samples from this relatively pristine estuarine environment. A combination of all three analytical techniques was necessary for the successful analysis of the elements considered in this study.

Possible effects of Chernobyl fallout on pregnancy outcome in Finland were analyzed, revealing that a temporary decline in the live birth rate had started before 1986, with no clear linkage to the level of fallout. A pronounced increase in spontaneous abortions with radiation dose was observed but no marked changes in induced abortions or stillbirths were evident. The decline in the live birth rate is probably not a biological effect of radiation but is ascribed to public concerns over fallout.

About 6.5% of the samples contained over 20 ng/g fat for the sum of DDT and its metabolites. The background contamination is partly attributed to imported animal feed ingredients often tainted by recent use of DDT. Comparison of PCB levels in fish flour and grains with those found in meats strongly suggests that the high concentrations stem from recycled fat. Rigorous control of organochlorines in animal feed production is advocated as a cost-efficient means of avoiding large-scale feed contamination.

Chlorpyrifos, malathion, and DDE were detected in 38.3, 75.2, and 21.4% of the solid food samples, respectively; other pesticides were detected in less than 10% of the solid food samples, and no residues were measured in duplicate beverage samples. Mean concentrations of chlorpyrifos, malathion, and DDE in solid food samples were 0.7, 1.8, and 0.2 mu g/kg, respectively. The co-occurrence of chlorpyrifos and malathion in solid foods was documented relatively frequently and also varied with time, as pesticides were detected in food samples with the greatest frequency in spring and summer.

Industrial uses of Be and its chronic health effects are discussed, highlighting ongoing NIOSH and OSHA research to address this occupational health problem. OSHA officials are in the process of setting new rules for workplace exposure to Be. In parallel, NIOSH researchers are working with industry representatives and scientific consultants on a suite of investigations that will result in a new exposure limit.

A strong correlation of daily averages over time was indicated by comparison of black smoke, PM with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 mu m, and PM with a 50% cut-off diameter of 1.0 mu m. The highest increase relative to background in median daily concentration was documented for black smoke at the highway. Mass measurements of ambient PM appear to underestimate exposure to particles generated by traffic.

Differentiation of the testis, ovary, and thymus in fetuses from both exhaust-exposed groups was delayed and disturbed. Elevated maternal testosterone is largely attributed to inhibition of aromatase activity and synthesis caused by diesel exhaust inhalation. Both exhaust-exposed groups showed almost the same reaction toward the inhalation, indicating that the gaseous phase must have included the relevant toxicants.

Issues are raised that should be addressed in the context of risk assessment to determine whether such increased stringency would accomplish the desired result of improving children's health. More information about dose-response relationships is needed in order to characterize the benefits of greater stringency. Reducing regulatory levels incurs costs but may not attain benefits if the previous level were already below an actual or practical threshold.

Blood levels of the compounds were strongly correlated with one another. Subjects with increased PCB 138 had more frequent undetectable interleukin-4 blood levels relative to patients with PCB 138 below the mean. Patients with low or absent blood levels of the compounds studied had higher interferon- plasma levels, providing some evidence for a cumulative effect of several weakly active compounds. Exposure to PCBs, HCB, or HCHs is associated with weak immunologic abnormalities.

Different techniques were used to infer foods most strongly associated with concentrations of these metals in the duplicate diet, and the concordance of foods selected as major predictors among the methods was significant. As, Cd, and Pb concentrations detected in food samples fall within the range of concentrations published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Cr concentrations are somewhat higher than the range published in the Toxicological Profiles.

Recently, it has been shown that changes in different kinematic parameters occurred with different time courses for subjects who practiced simple, single-joint elbow movements. For example, movement time was seen to decrease and level off in a shorter time than peak velocity, which increased and plateaued later. What is not known, however, is whether the time course and temporal order of these learning-related changes seen at the elbow are similar for movements learned at other joints and with different instructions. In this study, neurologically normal subjects practiced 50 degree -flexion movements made at the wrist, with the instruction to be both "fast and accurate (same instruction used in the earlier elbow study). A different group of subjects practiced wrist movements of the same amplitude, but with instructions to make movements that were "always accurate; " only as movement skill developed could subjects increase their speed (but without ever sacrificing accuracy). We measured time-related parameters (duration of acceleration, duration of deceleration, and total movement duration) and magnitude-related parameters (peak velocity, peak acceleration, and peak deceleration). We found that the time course of changes in kinematic parameters for subjects instructed to be "fast and accurate was similar to that reported at the elbow. When the instruction was changed to be "always accurate, the time for changes in kinematic parameters to level off was found to be longer. However, regardless of instruction, time-related parameters plateaued before magnitude-related parameters. Thus, our results indicate that motor learning mechanisms may operate in a similar way at different joints.

Trawl depth ranged between 751 and 1,151 m. A total of 89 squid were captured (65 males, 24 females). Except for one immature (stage 2) female, all the individuals collected were either mature (stage 5) or spent (stage 6). There was no significant difference in testis weight between stage-5 and stage-6 males but there was a significant difference in mantle weight and total weight. There was also a significant difference in ovary weight and total weight between stage-5 and stage-6 females but no significant difference in mantle weight. Female fecundity ranged from 84,379 to 286,795 with a mean oocyte size of 2.1 mm. This study confirms that winter is a spawning period for M. ingens and that the Chatham Rise is a spawning region for this species.

The aim of this paper was to develop, calibrate and test a simple model for 'on-road' measurements of traffic emission factors as part of a major program focussed on the assessment of traffic contribution to fine and ultrafine emissions to the whole air shed and to local areas in south-east Queensland, Australia. A mathematical model developed was based on the mass balance concept for on-road assessment of traffic-related emission rates. The model requires fewer experimental data points as input and is more applicable to the common on-road testing situation, when no more than two monitors of a specific pollutant can be used. The model was tested and calibrated using experimental data on particle number concentration collected at a road-monitoring site using the scanning mobility particle sizer, and was applied to assess the emission factors of submicrometer particles emitted by traffic. The average emission factor obtained using the box model and the experimental data from road measurements was 1.75 x 10 super(14) particles km super(-1) vehicle super(-1), with a standard error of 67.6%. While the emission factor obtained was comparable with some results obtained from dynamometer studies and applied to the vehicle mix at the sampling site, they were significantly higher than the factors reported by other studies.

AN - 76971135; 11149963 AB - A role of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor formation and growth was investigated by targeting the apoptosis inhibitor survivin in vivo. Expression of a phosphorylation-defective survivin mutant (Thr(34)-->Ala) triggered apoptosis in several human melanoma cell lines and enhanced cell death induced by the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin in vitro. Conditional expression of survivin Thr(34)-->Ala in YUSAC2 melanoma cells prevented tumor formation upon s.c. injection into CB.17 severe combined immunodeficient-beige mice. When induced in established melanoma tumors, survivin Thr(34)-->Ala inhibited tumor growth by 60-70% and caused increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation of melanoma cells in vivo. Manipulation of the antiapoptotic pathway maintained by survivin may be beneficial for cancer therapy.

Natural resource damages can only be sought for injuries remaining after the response action is complete or the likely effects of the remedy have been taken into account. The costs for such a claim consist of three basic components: the cost of performing a damage assessment, the restoration costs, and the costs associated with the loss of use. The portions of CERCLA pertaining to natural resource damage claims are highlighted and discussed in terms of CERCLA reauthorization. Trustee agencies contend that those responsible for injuries to natural resources should bear the cost of restoring or replacing them, with the costs including nonmarket values, while those opposed argue that the current system is unfair, placing them at great financial risk.

AN - 71026222; 11464763 AB - Bank filtration offers a cost effective and low maintenance technique for the removal of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins from drinking water. For bank filtration to be effective, the toxins must be degraded. The broad aim of this research was to determine whether the hepatotoxins, nodularin and microcystin-LR, could be completely removed from the soil/water matrix of three soils by microbial degradation. The results indicated that complete toxin removal was possible within 10-16 d in 2/3 soils that were incubated in the dark at 20 degrees C. The soils with the highest organic carbon content (2.9%) and the highest clay content (16.1%) were the most effective at removing the toxins in batch experiments. However, the sandy soil (98.5% sand) was incapable of degrading either toxin. The half-lives of toxin losses due to adsorption, desorption and degradation were calculated and for all soils. The degradation process had the highest half-life for both toxins. This suggested that degradation was likely to be the rate-limiting step of complete toxin removal. It was concluded that when a bank filtration site was being chosen, the degradation potential and the textural properties of the riverbank soil would be important when considering complete removal of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins.

It identifies and quantifies factors, in particular settings of combinations, that increase the probability that violence will occur. It also presents an array of interventions of well-documented effectiveness in helping young people whose lives are already marked by a propensity for violence as well as in preventing others from viewing violence as a solution to needs, wants, or problems. This report is divided into six chapters. The first serves as an introduction and offers chapter conclusions for chapters two through five. Those chapters discuss the magnitude of youth violence; the developmental dynamics of youth violence; risk factors for youth violence; and prevention and intervention. The final chapter examines a vision for the future. Each chapter includes a list of references. The executive summary of this report is included in a separate booklet. (Contains an index.)

Hearing before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session (Salt Lake City and Cedar City, Utah, July 6-7, 2000). AN - 62261291; ED461072 AB - This report documents the proceedings of a two-day hearing held in Utah to begin a public dialogue on how professionals can work together to combat the dangers of substance abuse problems among adolescents. The introductory comments by the presiding chairman, Senator Orin Hatch, spell out the present problem in Utah. The senator points out how youth and their families are aware of the dangers of cocaine, LSD, heroin, and marijuana but they may not be aware of a new class of drugs known as "club drugs." These drugs, such as methamphetamine, an addictive stimulant; ecstasy, a synthetic mind-altering drug; GHB and other central nervous system stimulants, are sweeping across the country and leaving youth unprepared for their dangerous side effects. On the first day, panelists shed light on the growing problem of club drug use in Utah. Representatives from drug enforcement administration, the state attorney general's office, and police departments served as witnesses. The second day proceedings focused on ways the community of professionals can work together to combat the dangers of substance abuse. Representatives from the regional PTA, Immigration and Naturalization Service, the District Attorney's office, and private citizens spoke before the committee.

It also shows trends in the levels of perceived risk and personal disapproval associated with each drug, which this study has shown to be particularly important in explaining trends in use. The first section presents trends in the overall proportions of students at each grade level reporting illicit drug use. A separate section is then presented for each class of drugs. These sections contain graphs showing trends in past-year use. They also show trends in perceived risk, disapproval, and perceived availability of marijuana, inhalants, LSD, cocaine, crack cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, tranquilizers, barbiturates, club drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and steroids. Key findings show that the overall illicit drug use among teens remained steady in 2000 in all three grades as well as for specific drugs such as marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens other than LSD, tranquilizers, barbiturates, and alcohol.

Hearing before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session. Special Hearing. AN - 62257877; ED456016 AB - A Senate subcommittee hearing received testimony concerning a proposed amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to permit Amish youth, ages 14-18, to work under adult supervision in sawmills. Current Department of Labor regulations ban the employment of minors in sawmill operations. This poses a problem for Amish youth who finish their formal education in the eighth grade and have very few employment opportunities. Employment in family-run sawmills and woodworking shops provides an opportunity for them to continue their instruction in the workplace under adult supervision with continuing guidance. The Amish view such work as a form of vocational education, called learning by doing. Amish families have received large fines for having their own children in the workplace, even when they were not in unsafe conditions. Congressmen, representatives of Amish organizations, and Amish people affected by the FLSA gave testimony in favor of the amendments. A representative of the Department of Labor discussed the extremely high injury rates in lumber and woodworking occupations, the Department's efforts to accommodate the unique circumstances of Amish youth, and the difficulties in enforcing amendment provisions prescribing distances to be maintained between adolescent workers and hazardous situations.

First signs of an epidemic of tobacco related diseases among women are no longer being seen, as they were first reported in 1980. Lung cancer is now the leading cause of female cancer deaths, but cancer is just one of the serious risks faced by women who smoke. Female smokers are uniquely at risk for diseases related to pregnancy; oral contraceptives; menstrual functioning; and cervical cancer. Chapter 1 summarizes the report. Chapter 2 discusses the patterns of tobacco use among women and girls. Chapter 3 reviews the effects of tobacco on women's health. Chapter 4 presents the factors that influence tobacco use by women and chapter 5 discusses efforts to reduce tobacco use among women. The report concludes with a vision for the future.

Hearing before the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. US Senate, 106th Congress, Second Session (July 27, 2000). AN - 62191619; ED474519 AB - These hearing transcripts recount testimony before Congress on proposals to work with recipient governments and communities to establish a preschool and school feeding program in developing countries. Of particular focus in the hearing was the infrastructure needed to implement the program effectively and the roles of government agencies, nongovernmental agencies, voluntary agencies, the agricultural community, and the private commercial sector. Oral or written testimony was offered by Ambassador George McGovern; Senators Lugar, Cochran, Harkin, Leahy, Durbin, Daschle, Johnson, and Dole; and Representative James McGovern, as well as by the executive director of the World Food Program, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and directors/chairs of private voluntary relief organizations. It was asserted that international lunch programs have the potential benefit of helping to achieve several foreign policy goals: reducing hunger, increasing and enhancing education in developing countries, increasing education for girls, reducing child labor, increasing opportunities for orphans of war or disease, decreasing population, and decreasing pressure on food resources and on the environment. Testimony by representatives of private voluntary organizations pointed out: (1) the need to involve private voluntary organizations in implementing a school feeding program; (2) the importance of improving educational quality to enhance the school feeding impact; (3) the need for a multifaceted, multiyear approach; (4) the need for involving the private commercial sector; and (5) concerns about the real impact of a school feeding program on childrens nutrition. Appended are prepared statements submitted by congressmen and a concept paper by Food for Education and Economic Development.

Existing theory on new parties is reviewed & the origins of AD M-19 are traced. A look at factors influencing the party's rise notes that AD M-19 leader, Antonio Navarro Wolff, was considered the front-runner in the 1994 presidential election. However, Wolff received less than 4% of the vote, & it is maintained that the decline in electoral support was due to the party's poor leadership & internal organization, as well as the cooptive behavior of the Liberal party, & the relative robustness of the economy. The impact of violence is discussed & it is concluded that inadequate leadership, coupled with the party's inability to connect with the segment of the population that supported it as a guerrilla group, are the main reasons AD M-19 failed to become a viable political party. 25 References.

At a hydraulic retention time of 0.83 h, influent nitrate was increased stepwise from 20 to 145 mg N/l (volumetric loading rates (VLRs), 0.60 to 4.2 g N/l/d, respectively) and sludge was periodically wasted to maintain a sludge bed of about (2)/(3) the liquid volume. Complete nitrate removal was achieved at influent nitrate concentrations up to 75 mg N/l(2.1 g N/l/d). MLSS increased from 20 g/l at a VLR of 0.6 g N/l/d to 51 g/l at a VLR of 1.9 g N/l/d, above which it decreased. VSS increased from 11 g/l to a maximum of 25 g/l at a VLR of 2.1 g N/l/d. Settling velocities showed the same trend with maximum values in a VLR range of 1.5 to 2.1 g N/l/d. However, granule size, calcium and magnesium contents of the granular sludge and protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid contents of extracellular polymers decreased steadily with an increase in VLR throughout the range of testing. Within the VLR range of 0.6 to 2.1 g N/l/d, corresponding to complete nitrate removal and efficient sludge retention, the granular sludge had a high calcium content of 24 to 22%, magnesium ranged from only 0.7 to 0.1%, proteins from 3.2 to 1.3%, carbohydrates from 4.2 to 1.4%, and nucleic acids from 0.34 to 0.05% of the sludge dry weight. These results suggest an optimum operational VLR in terms of nitrate removal and sludge retention of about 2 g N/l/d.

The lithology, low Pr/Ph ratio and high gammacerane content of these sediments indicated that high salinity prevailed during their deposition. The distributions of steroidal hydrocarbons were particularly unusual and several pseudohomologous series, including regular steranes (C sub(27)-C sub(29)), 4-methyl steranes (C sub(28)-C sub(30) including dinosteranes), 3 beta -ethyl steranes (C sub(29)-C sub(31)), lanostanes (C sub(30)-C sub(32)), and a variety of other 3 beta -alkylated steranes were identified. 3 beta -n-Propylcholestane, 3 beta -n-propylstigmastane and 4,4-dimethylcholestane were identified using authentic standards and this is the first time these compounds have been unambiguously characterised in sediments.

This involves segregation of the selectable marker gene away from the gene of interest following co-transformation using a plasmid carrying two T-DNAs, which were located adjacent to each other with no intervening region. A standard binary transformation vector was modified by insertion of a small section composed of an additional left and right T-DNA border, so that the selectable marker gene and the site for insertion of the gene of interest (GOI) were each flanked by a left and right border. Using this vector three different GOIs were transformed into barley. Analysis of transgene inheritance was facilitated by a novel and rapid assay utilizing PCR amplification from macerated leaf tissue. Co-insertion was observed in two thirds of transformants, and among these approximately one quarter had transgene inserts which segregated in the next generation to yield selectable marker-free transgenic plants. Insertion of non-T-DNA plasmid sequences was observed in only one of fourteen SMF lines tested. This technique thus provides a workable system for generating transgenic barley free from selectable marker genes, thereby obviating public concerns regarding proliferation of these genes.

Biofilms were sampled from household copper reticulation pipes and grown on R2A agar. Laboratory coupon experiments were used to determine the effect of single isolate biofilms on aqueous copper concentrations. The majority of biofilm bacteria did not affect copper concentrations in comparison to sterile controls. However, several bacteria including Acidovorax delafieldii, Cytophaga johnsonae and Micrococcus kristinae were shown to significantly elevate copper concentrations in drinking water. In contrast, the bacteria Rhodococcus sp. and Xanthomonas maltophilia were shown to significantly decrease copper levels in comparison to controls. The significance of biofilm bacteria to increase copper concentrations in drinking water has implications for public health by increasing concentrations to levels toxic to humans.

There were strident community claims that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project had been misleading because it 'hid' the fact that the purported noise benefits of the project were only achieved through concentrating the noise on a small number of suburbs. The noise assessment in the EIS had used conventional thinking - a reduction in the number of persons within an airport's noise contours is a positive outcome. However, minimisation of the number of persons within the contours can be achieved in several ways. 'Real' noise reductions can be made, for example, by re-routing flights over non-residential areas. On the other hand this outcome can also be achieved simply by focussing the noise on a smaller number of people - the same macro noise exposure result but a very different outcome for the community. The Person-Events Index (PEI) is a simple tool, based on the N70, which, amongst other things, allows the decision maker and the community to very clearly see whether claimed environmental benefits of a project will simply be achieved by concentrating, rather than by reducing, aircraft noise. The PEI is not designed to determine whether Option A is better than Option B. It is a tool to build public confidence in decision making processes through improving the transparency of conventional assessment approaches.

This species displays an unusual asynchronous reproductive pattern in which male and female preparations for reproduction are separated temporally, thereby providing an opportunity to clarify our understanding about the energy demands of squamate reproduction. Abdominal fat bodies in both sexes showed distinct annual cycles that were positively correlated with resource availability, peaking in summer. In males, fat body mass was correlated positively with testes development and negatively with plasma testosterone concentrations and mating behavior. This is in contrast to the pattern observed in species with synchronous breeding cycles, where there is generally a negative relationship between testis size and lipid storage. We concluded that N. ocellatus is able to produce spermatozoa and develop abdominal fat reserves concurrently, and therefore testis size is unlikely to be constrained by energetic costs. In contrast, mating behavior appears to rely on stored energy, even though this results in reduced fat reserves for winter hibernation. Female fat bodies were smallest in midspring, coinciding with the end of vitellogenesis and early pregnancy. Vitellogenesis and early pregnancy appear to be energetically expensive and are reliant on stored energy in this species. Large fat bodies at the end of pregnancy in both populations are surprising given the reported high costs of reproduction. Two factors may contribute to this: resource availability may be greater in late summer, and the energetic costs associated with pregnancy appear to be highest in the early to midstages of gestation.

This study examined the effect of a 2-year exercise intervention and calcium supplementation (600 mg) on bone mineral density (BMD) in 126 post-menopausal women (mean age, 60 plus or minus 5 years). Assignment was by block randomization to one of three groups: strength (S), fitness (F), or nonexercise control (C). The two exercise groups completed three sets of the same nine exercises, three times a week. The S group increased the loading, while the F group had additional stationary bicycle riding with minimal increase in loading. Retention at 2 years was 71% (59% in the S group, 69% in the F group, and 83% in the C group), while the exercise compliance did not differ between the exercise groups (S group, 74 plus or minus 13%; F group, 77 plus or minus 14%). BMD was measured at the hip, lumbar spine, and forearm sites every 6 months using a Hologic 4500. Whole body BMD also was measured every 6 months on a Hologic 2000. There was no difference between the groups at the forearm, lumbar spine, or whole body sites. There was a significant effect of the strength program at the total (0.9 plus or minus 2.6%; p < 0.05) and intertrochanter hip site (1.1 h 3.0%; p < 0.01). There was a significant time and group interaction (p < 0.05) at the intertrochanter site by repeated measures. This study shows the effectiveness of a progressive strength program in increasing bone density at the clinically important hip site. We concluded that a strength program could be recommended as an adjunct lifestyle approach to osteoporosis treatment or used in combination with other therapies.
