Safety in this area depends on industry practices that are guided, at least in part, by government-issued requirements. Despite the oversight, however, about 400 serious hazmat transportation incidents occur annually. Within DOT, regulation of transportation of hazmat is under the auspices of the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, which has an appropriation of $18.75 million for FY2001. Several issues being considered as part of the reauthorization process for the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act are outlined, including the hazmat emergency preparedness grants program, a proposed increased registration fee to support the operating program of the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, the establishment of local and regional response teams, a requirement for annual audits of motor carriers transporting hazmat, exemptions from the regulations, and the appropriate role of DOT in hazmat transportation.

The rainfall estimation methods were: (1) using raingauge data alone; (2) using kriging of the raingauge data; (3) using radar data alone and (4) using cokriging of both radar and raingauge data. Both probability matching and power law methods were used to estimate rainfall from measured radar reflectivities. The results showed that rainfall estimated by cokriging considerably improved flood estimates, because it optimally combines both the raingauge and radar data to improve the estimate of subcatchment rainfall.

However, other mechanisms responsible for Ni accumulation are still unclear. Therefore, in the present study we examined the effects of sulfhydryl (SH) blockers on Ni accumulation by hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were exposed to various concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) (0.5, 1 or 2 mM) or monoiodoacetic acid (MIA) (0.1, 0.25 or 0.5 mM), potent blockers of SH ligands, for 30 min and subsequently exposed to 10 mu M NiCl sub(2) for an additional 60 min. Pretreatment with NEM and MIA enhanced the Ni accumulation by hepatocytes to maximum of 156 and 73%, respectively. The effects of essential and nonessential metal ions on Ni accumulation were also investigated. Pretreatment with 10 mu M of Cu, Zn, Co, Cd and Mn, decreased Ni accumulation by 46, 30, 20, 18 and 11%, respectively. In contrast, pretreatment with Hg (10 and 20 mu M) enhanced the Ni accumulation by almost 81 and 140%, respectively. Furthermore, significant decrease in SH concentration in the hepatocyte membrane was observed by the treatment with NEM, MIA and Hg, but not with Cu, Zn and Cd. These results suggest that Ni accumulation by hepatocytes does not appear to be dependent on the SH carrier-mediated transport processes, and that to block the SH ligands in the plasma membrane may facilitate the Ni crossing of the cell membrane.

Using predictive models changes in microbial populations on foods between the point of production/harvest and the point of eating can be estimated from changes in product parameters (temperature, storage atmosphere, pH, salt/water activity, etc.). Thus, it is possible to infer exposure to Listeria monocytogenes at the time of consumption from the initial microbiological condition of the food and its history from production to consumption. Predictive microbiology models have immediate practical application to improve microbial food safety and quality, and are leading to development of a quantitative understanding of the microbial ecology of foods. While models are very useful decision-support tools it must be remembered that models are, at best, only a simplified representation of reality. As such, application of model predictions should be tempered by previous experience, and used with cognisance of other microbial ecology principles that may not be included in the model. Nonetheless, it is concluded that predictive models, successfully validated in agreement with defined performance criteria, will be an essential element of exposure assessment within formal quantitative risk assessment. Sources of data and models relevant to assessment of the human health risk of L. monocytogenes in seafoods are identified. Limitations of the current generation of predictive microbiology models are also discussed. These limitations, and their consequences, must be recognised and overtly considered so that the risk assessment process remains transparent. Furthermore, there is a need to characterise and incorporate into models the extent of variability in microbial responses. The integration of models for microbial growth, growth limits or inactivation into models that can predict both increases and decreases in microbial populations over time will also improve the utility of predictive models for exposure assessment. All of these issues are the subject of ongoing research.

Both possums and pademelons consistently ate foliage more than stem for all seedling species examined. Possums showed significant interspecific foliage preferences more often than pademelons and they often had opposite preferences to pademelons. For possums, Eucalyptus nitens was one of the most preferred species, whereas for pademelons, Acacia melanoxylon and Pinus radiata were preferred. At low damage levels, possums ate the apical bud of seedlings more frequently than pademelons. A non-linear regression model was developed that describes the depletion of two food types by herbivores. A conditional selection index comparing two plant types was derived from the model, allowing selection to be quantified at any stage in the resource depletion process. Results are discussed in relation to the per capita impact of the two herbivore species, the development of non-lethal methods for managing browsing damage and the use of indicator plant species for triggering management options.

Two procedures were used: the extraction of lipids from biomass followed by transesterification of the fatty acids (extraction-transesterification); and the direct transesterification of biomass to produce fatty acid methyl esters (i.e. without the initial extraction step). Variable factors in the extraction-transesterification experiment were the sequence in which solvents were added to the samples, the relative amount of methanol in the solvent mix, and sonication of biomass while in the solvent mix. Variable factors in the direct transesterification experiment were sample size, and reaction duration. Statistical analysis of data (level of significance P<0.05) showed that: (1) extraction of total fatty acids prior to transesterification was significantly more efficient when solvents were added in the order of increasing polarity; (2) neither sonication nor increasing the proportion of methanol in the extraction solvent significantly affected extraction of fatty acids prior to transesterification; (3) efficiency of direct transesterification of fatty acids increased significantly with reaction time; (4) efficiency of direct transesterification of fatty acids was not significantly affected by sample size; (5) the most efficient method for extraction of fatty acids prior to transesterification yielded significantly less fatty acids than the most effective direct transesterification method. While the study examined only two strains, our results suggest that fatty acid analysis methodology for microheterotrophs under consideration for biotechnological exploitation requires optimisation and validation.

The life cycle of the coastal population, which was reflected in their pattern of lipid storage, was coupled closely to the growth of sea ice. Nauplii entered the sea ice in early autumn and overwintered predominantly as the NIV stage, with triacylglycerol comprising up to 26% of their dry weight (DW). During their rapid development from stages CI to CIV, much smaller quantities (<2% DW) of triacylglycerol were present. The population underwent a habitat shift from the ice to the water column at the CIV stage, although adults remained close to the ice-water interface. Adults of both sexes initially contained high amounts of triacylglycerol as a proportion of their total lipid (50% in males, 65% in females), but these stores were depleted over the 3 wk-long period of mating and spawning. The lacustrine population of P. antarctica also accumulated triacylglycerol; however, their life cycle was largely independent of the ice cover on the lake. The CI to CIV stages of the lacustrine population contained more triacylglycerol than the same stages at the coastal site, suggesting that either they experienced short-term periods of starvation due to patchiness in the food supply or that their dietary intake was lipid-rich. Reproduction began 1 mo earlier in the lake population, and the lipid storage patterns of adults indicated a longer reproductive duration. The fatty acid composition of P. antarctica reflected that of particulate matter in the 2 environments, arguing for a relatively simple biochemical pathway in comparison to some of the larger pelagic copepods.

O. Kuntze] were investigated by optimising the immersion frequencies of the explants using a modified temporary immersion system (TIS). The relative efficiencies of three conventional methods for multiplying embryos were compared with the temporary immersion method. The highest rate of multiplication of secondary embryos (24-fold) was achieved using the TIS. By controlling the immersion cycles, we achieved more consistent, synchronised multiplication and embryo development with a high level of plant recovery. A one-step computer-programmed immersion protocol based on a single, simple medium with no growth regulators was developed, enabling multiplication, maturation, germination and plant recovery within 17 weeks. Plantlets recovered through this method were hardy, with 2- to 5-cm-long shoots containing a minimum of 2-4 lush green leaves and a well-formed taproot. Callus formation, hyperhydricity and other developmental abnormalities were not observed at any stage in the process. Plantlets produced using this method were successfully acclimatised to glasshouse conditions. This protocol avoids culture transfers, and thus minimises the risk of contamination and reduces labour costs. This technique could have significant commercial implications in tea propagation as it has the potential for large-scale production with considerably reduced production costs.

AN - 72580660; 11262768 AB - To identify risk factors for death among children with diarrhoea, a cohort of 496 children, aged less than 5 years, admitted to the intensive care unit of a diarrhoeal disease hospital in Bangladesh, was studied during November 1992-June 1994. Clinical and laboratory records of children who died and of those who recovered in the hospital were compared. Deaths were significantly higher among those who had altered consciousness, hypoglycaemia, septicaemia, paralytic ileus, toxic colitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, invasive or persistent diarrhoea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition. Females experienced a 2-fold higher risk of death than males (p = 0.003). Several indices of severe infections were identified more frequently among females than males. Females with severe infections were less frequently brought to the hospital than their male counterparts. The time lapse between onset of symptoms and hospital admission was significantly higher in females than males. This study suggests initiation of programmes to alleviate social disparity between genders for healthcare in poor communities. The study-results may also help physicians identify either prognostic indicators or risk factors for death among children hospitalized with severe illnesses associated with diarrhoea.

AN - 21259684; 11703800 AB - Medical research facilities, indeed all the nation's constructed facilities, must be designed, operated, and maintained in a manner that supports the health, safety, and productivity of the occupants. The National Construction Goals, established by the National Science and Technology Council, envision substantial improvements in occupant health and worker productivity. The existing research and best practices case studies support this conclusion, but too frequently building industry professionals lack the knowledge to design, construct, operate, and maintain facilities at these optimum levels. There is a need for more research and more collaborative efforts between medical and facilities engineering researchers and practitioners in order to attain the National Construction Goals. Such collaborative efforts will simultaneously support attainment of the National Health Goals.

AN - 21257885; 11704984 AB - As a result of the Leadership Conference on Biomedical Research and the Environment, the Facilities Committee focused its work on the development of best environmental practices at biomedical research facilities at the university and independent research facility level as well as consideration of potential involvement of for-profit companies and government agencies. The designation "facilities" includes all related buildings and grounds, "green auditing" of buildings and programs, purchasing of furnishings and sources, energy efficiency, and engineering services (lighting, heating, air conditioning), among other activities. The committee made a number of recommendations, including development of a national council for environmental stewardship in biomedical research, development of a system of green auditing of such research facilities, and creation of programs for sustainable building and use. In addition, the committee recommended extension of education and training programs for environmental stewardship, in cooperation with facilities managers, for all research administrators and researchers. These programs would focus especially on graduate fellows and other students, as well as on science labs at levels K--12.

The degradation of these macro-algae was studied to determine the influence of their exudates on natural water EEM fluorescence spectra. This work demonstrates that biological activity is one of the major factors involved in the formation of the blue-shifted fluorescence band observed in marine waters ( beta component Ex/Em=310-320 nm/380-410 nm); our study also shows that fluorescence can be used to evaluate the biological activity both quantitatively and to determine its different phases.

Reciprocal control by vasomodulators and neural input determines relative flow in each network, and therefore relative supply of nutrients and hormones. Vessels supplying the tendon support fat cells and may function as a non-nutritive network within muscle groups to regulate resting muscle energy metabolism and to act as a flow reservoir for nutrient delivery in exercise.

The adsorption equilibrium capacities of all adsorbents for 4-NP correlated with the micropore area of the adsorbents. Adsorption rates showed improved removal with decreasing particle size and higher carbon mass loadings. A pseudo first order model was used to fit the kinetic data, with a correlation coefficient of 0.995-0.999 for all systems. The adsorption capacity for NOM, as measured by UV-absorbing DOC, correlated well with the pore volume and pore surface areas for pores with diameters in the range 2.7-21 nm. The trend in the adsorption capacities and removal rates of the adsorbents for NOM provided evidence that the pore size distribution is one of the most important physical characteristics of activated carbon for the adsorption of NOM. The performance of activated low rank coal based materials was comparable to a high quality coconut-based commercial carbon in batch systems. Although the non-activated char adsorbents gave poor performance, they have potential for use in applications where poor performance can be outweighed by lower cost.

Furthermore, they may be formulated similarly and result in similar mathematical forms for the flow equations. The analysis may be extended to solute transport during non-steady flow of water in a deforming system. These space-like coordinates are simply defined and measured. Their use ensures material balance for all entities of concern and, for some important situations, results in a non-linear diffusion equation that may be solved for many practically important initial and boundary conditions.

Broadscale management of stoats is constrained by the associated risks to non-target species. Control methods that are more specific to stoats are laborious and costly. These methods can protect only a few threatened bird populations and only in small portions of habitat. Beyond these treated areas the declines of bird populations and extinctions past or imminent indicate a pressing need for more extensive management of stoats. New cost-effective methods for managing stoats over large areas are needed urgently. This study addresses that need by examining the literature to assess the potential for fertility control of stoats, especially immunocontraception, to contribute to the sustainable conservation of endemic New Zealand birds.

AN - 17837238; 4865786 AB - Diurnal visitors to the flowers of many native plant species were identified in a wide range of Tasmanian sclerophyllous vegetation between September 1996 and April 1997. These foraging profiles were analysed to determine whether they were characteristic of various floral morphologies in predictable ways. It was found that although visitor profiles were sometimes consistent with classic pollination syndromes, these syndromes were unreliable predictors of floral visitors. Very few flowers were exclusively bird-pollinated, and none were strictly fly-, beetle-, wasp-, or butterfly-pollinated. The majority of flowering plants were unspecialized in their morphology, and consequently hosted a diverse array of visitors. In addition, visitor profiles to congeners with similar floral morphologies, and even to conspecifics, differed between habitats. Altitude was a major factor in determining visitors, with flies being the most abundant visitors above 700 m. However, congeners in several genera of Epacridaceae, as well as the genus Correa, which differed in floral morphology also differed in visitor profiles. Tubular flowers were associated with birds, while flowers with more accessible nectar were visited by insects. The only taxa exhibiting a bee-pollination syndrome that were largely visited by bees were the Fabaceae and Goodenia ovata Sm. Several species with purple or pink flowers were also predominantly visited by bees, but did not strictly conform to the melittophilous syndrome. In contrast, other flowers exhibiting an ostensibly mellitophilous syndrome hosted very few bees. Of these, species that occurred at high altitude were mainly visited by flies, while others received very few potential pollen vectors.

Three landscape types recognized in this Park were Plateau, Lowlands and Floodplain. Areas burned in early and late dry seasons each year were documented using a Geographical Information System. Regression analyses were used to examine time trends in the areas burned each year and the interrelationships between early and late dry season burning. The proportions of landscapes having different stand ages (years since fire), and the proportions having had different fire intervals, were compared with results expected from the simplest random model (i. e. one in which the probability of ignition at a point [PIP] burning annually was constant). Using overlays of successive stand-age maps, PIP could be calculated as a function of stand age. The Lowlands burned extensively each year; the areas burned by late dry season fires adding to those burned in the early dry season such that around 50-60% of the total area burned annually. Early dry season fires have lower intensities than late dry season fires, on average. Using a theoretically constant PIP and the mean proportion burned per year as the only input, predictions of areas burned as a function of stand age and fire interval were reasonable when compared with the empirical data, but best for the Lowlands landscape. PIP functions for Lowlands and Floodplains had negative slopes, an unexpected result. The nature of these PIP functions may reflect heterogeneity in fire proneness of the various vegetation types within landscapes. The scale of measurement, the scale of variation in vegetation types within a landscape, and the accuracy of the determination of burned areas, are constraints on the accuracy of fire-interval and seasonality determination perceived from an analysis of satellite data.

However, the environmental effects of buildings arise from the combination of many design and management decisions, and good environmental design and construction can avoid more than just the damage that flows from resource use. It is therefore important that students of building professions learn how the many decisions they make can help create ecology sustaining buildings, and this awareness begins in the classroom. This paper proposes a model for teaching and learning environmental literacy for tertiary students of building professions. It also argues that, in comparison with a well recognized theory for language learning, some of the conditions required for learning environmental literacy may not be present in Australian tertiary institutions. This work was commissioned for the Australian Council of Building Design Professions for the Environment Design Guide and funded by EcoRecycle Victoria.

The current waste disposal system covers about 60% of the total waste generated. The paper begins by introducing the solid waste problem in Semarang with particular attention to the Five Year Development Plans. The Adipura program is introduced and recent measures for improving urban infrastructure assessed. The socioeconomic role of scavengers in the waste management process is detailed and the existing solid waste management system in Semarang is critiqued. The paper then introduces the Semarang study area. Waste characteristics are examined and the market value of recyclable materials is estimated at about Rp. 8 billion ($A 3.6 million) per year. The socioeconomic importance of scavengers is recognized in the reduction of domestic solid waste. The final section of the paper recommends that Semarang should consider source separation, home and large-scale composting as a means to deal with its solid waste problem.

The effects of the rosette-crown feeding fly Botanophila turcica on these plant characteristics were assessed by comparing unattacked with naturally attacked plants at each site and by a field experiment. Indirect effects of B. turcica on plant seed production were also compared with direct seed loss caused by a guild of capitulum-feeding insects that incidentally attacked the marked plants at these sites. C. lanatus showed no size or weight requirement for flowering, but larger flowering plants produced less total receptacle surface and less seed production (female reproductive potential) in proportion to plant weight than smaller flowering plants. B. turcica did not select hosts on the basis of size or density. B. turcica reduced plant relative growth rate (RGR) in all situations, but attacked plants compensated fully at two of three sites as attack failed to halt rosette growth. Attacked plants suffered 12 % mortality, and 71 % lower seed production than unattacked plants at the site with the lowest RGR. This corresponded to 9 % lower seed production for the whole thistle population compared to 8.6-19.5 % direct seed loss to capitulum insects across all sites.

It considers the variety and reliability of measurement techniques that have been used and interprets the results of interception studies in relation to methodological, vegetational and climatic factors. The review illustrates that it is difficult to draw general conclusions about interception losses by particular forest types because they almost always depend on the type of rainfall and other meteorological conditions during the study period. Characteristics of a forest that affect interception are not always easy to identify and quantify. Characteristics such as trees/ha, branch angle, the uniformity or lack of uniformity in crown height, the nature and thickness of the bark layer, leaf shape and inclination, and leaf area index will all influence interception. The major difficulty is reliable estimation of throughfall. It is not unusual for measured throughfall to exceed the rainfall value, causing interception to be negative. The difficulty in estimation of throughfall is discussed, while also addressing the need for accurate measurement of rainfall. In forests where stemflow volumes are large enough to significantly influence the interception values, the methodological approach is even more difficult. Measurement of interception on a periodic basis presents fewer problems than estimation on an individual event basis because the variables that affect the values of throughfall and stemflow can change over very short periods, for example the intensity and angle of rainfall, and wind speed and direction. However, carefully conducted event-based studies can quantify the influence of a number of the variables.

Phosphorus accumulation in water and sediment in 50 farm ponds and dams and 2 streams was investigated for a 4000-ha area near York, Western Australia. Water, sediment, and soil samples were analyzed for total, inorganic, and organic P. Sediments contained between 4 and 54% clay. The major minerals in the clay fraction were quartz, kaolinite, and smectite with minor amounts of illite, felspars, calcite, and iron oxides. Sediments contained between 0.4 and 5.9 g kg super(-1) N, 6.0 and 14.3 g kg super(-1) Al, 15.0 and 77.0 g kg super(-1) Fe, and 3.0 and 80.0 g kg super(-1) organic carbon. The dissolved P concentration in pond, dam, and stream water ranged from 0.001 to 4.15 mg L super(-1) and suspended particulate P (>0.22 mu m) ranged from 0.016 to 2.78 mg L super(-1). Total P in sediments ranged from 29 to 1101 mg kg super(-1) compared with 134 to 554 mg kg super(-1) in soils. Inorganic P accounted for 57% of total P in sediments and 75% of total P in soils. Relationships between concentrations of total P, inorganic P, and organic P in sediments and dissolved P in dam water were linear, indicating a buffering action of the sediment constituents on dissolved P. There was a linear relationship between the concentrations of P in sediments and in soils of catchments.

A cross-sectional study was conducted of US mortality records from 1991 through 1996. Higher standardized mortality ratios were seen for Blacks vs Whites (3.34 vs 0.65), low vs high educational level (1.51 vs 0.69), and low vs high income (1.46 vs 0.71). Excess mortality for Blacks vs Whites was present in the highest and lowest quintiles of median county income and educational level. The disparity in asthma mortality rates according to median county income and education remained after control for race/ethnicity. Black race/ethnicity appears to be associated, independently from low income and low education, with an elevated risk for asthma mortality.

We examined the effectiveness of using vascular plant diversity as a basis for choosing reserves to capture bryophyte and lichen diversity. We surveyed 35, 20x50 m sites for bryophytes, lichens and vascular plants in a forest management district of eastern Australia. Despite being based on a relatively few sites, these results are informative because datasets in which all three taxa are identified to species level are uncommon. We found that a set of sites that reserved 90% of vascular plant species captured 65% of bryophyte species and 87% of lichen species. Also, the sites that were 'irreplaceable' for overstorey species in a minimum reserve set captured 88 and 89% of bryophyte and lichen species, respectively. Vascular plant communities defined using clustering predicted highly significant variation in both bryophyte and lichen species composition. However, both vascular plant species richness and genus richness were poor predictors of bryophyte and lichen species diversity. The results indicate that, on a local scale, reserves selected for vascular plants can capture large percentages of bryophytes and lichens, however individual sites important for bryophyte and lichen conservation may not be important for vascular plant conservation.

One of the key goals of the Plan is more effective control of nonpoint-source pollution, primarily from agriculture. Three specific initiatives are discussed in detail, focusing on how each will affect agriculture. The first is the overall Clean Water Action Plan, its early implementation, and EPA and other federal agency activities. The second pertains to animal feeding operations (AFOs), with the strategy consisting of multiple elements based on a national performance expectation that all AFO owners and operators will develop and implement site-specific Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans. The third initiative is the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements mandated for the states. If a state fails to set a TMDL, EPA is required to develop a priority list for the state and make its own TMDL determination.

An assessment is presented of how to address and deal with them. At least three levels are needed for comparable risks to be assessed in a manner appropriate for community-based decision-making: the need for information and data for identifying and characterizing individual sources of risk, the need for information and data for quantifying public exposures, and the need for information and data for identifying and characterizing community issues and perceptions of site-specific hazards and associated risks. The components of such a community-based model are outlined, focusing on developing partnerships with local government, developing community-outreach programs, and maintaining these relationships.

Results indicated clearly that testosterone interfered with normal embryo development in daphnids. 4-Nonylphenol was found to be embryotoxic to daphnids, but detailed characterization revealed that the developmental toxicity of 4-nonylphenol was distinct from that associated with elevated testosterone. Increased egg production and an increased proportion of developmentally compromised neonates were observed with increasing 4-nonylphenol concentrations, which suggested that the compound stimulated egg production without increasing some critical developmental component provided to the eggs by the maternal organisms.

The results from these studies can be sensitive to the selection of control periods, especially when clear time trends or cyclic waves, such as seasonal waves, exist. In this study, several control-sampling schemes are applied to control for time trends and seasonal waves in exposure of interest, and a simulation study is conducted to compare the methods. The results illustrate the nature of the bias for unidirectional sampling approaches by examining the time trends in simulated data. The simulations reveal that the bidirectional casecrossover design can be biased in situations where the exposure variable shows incomplete cyclic waves.

The production of genetically all-male tadpoles is described. The gonads of tadpoles treated with 1 mu M 17 beta -estradiol showed the typical structure of the ovary, while treatment with 0.1 and 0.01 mu M caused different gonadal effects in different animals. Exposure to 10 mu M DBP induced obvious ovarian formation in the gonads of genetic males, while exposure to 1 mu M DBP caused partial ovarian structure in some tadpoles.

In addition, the human cytochrome P450 isoforms responsible for this metabolism were identified. Incubations of the parent herbicides with liver microsomes resulted in major differences between rats and humans in the formation of 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide (CDEPA) and 2-chloro-N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl)acetamide (CMEPA). For acetochlor, the rate of metabolism to CMEPA by human liver microsomes was approximately one-third the rate observed in rat liver microsomees. Similarly, the rate of metabolism of butachlor to CDEPA was significantly less in humans than in rats. Acetochlor, butachlor, and metolachlor were found to be metabolized in human liver microsomes by cytochrome P4502B6 and 3A4, the former metabolizing the substrates to only one product, and the latter metabolizing the substrates to multiple products.

The data were compiled via questionnaire. Laboratory data on urinary cotinine concentrations were used to validate the nonsmoking status of the women, and blood samples were taken to compare plasma levels of vitamins and lipids among exposed and unexposed subjects. The results indicated that women married to smokers had higher levels of urinary cotinine and were more likely to be of lower socioeconomic status. The exposed subjects were more likely to supplement their diets with minerals and were less likely to eat vegetables than unexposed women. No other differences were discerned for all other variables collected during the physical examination or for the laboratory data.

The dogs were exposed to CAPs or filtered air via permanent tracheostomies. Results show that dog-to-dog variation played a lesser role than day-to-day exposure variability in determining the biologic responses. Mean CAPs versus sham exposures exhibited no significant changes in bronchoalveolar lavage parameters, although analysis of CAPs components showed that aluminum and silicon were correlated with increased pulmonary neutrophil percentages. Simple comparisons of exposure were not associated with significant alterations in hematologic parameters, but alterations observed in peripheral blood parameters were related to specific particle constituents. Increased circulating neutrophils and increased bronchoalveolar lavage macrophages were associated with vanadium and nickel, and increased bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils were associated with bromine and lead only when the compositional data from the third day of exposure were used.

Blood samples were collected from residents of Aberdeen and several neighboring communities, and concentrations of organochlorine pesticides were measured, as well as specific markers of immune competence and DNA damage. Examined were complete blood cell counts, lymphocyte phenotypes, and immunoglobulin levels, and a skin test, a mitogen stimulation assay, and a micronucleus assay with peripheral blood lymphocytes were conducted. Results showed that only DDE was detected in the blood of participants, with age-adjusted mean plasma DDE levels of 4.05 and 2.96 ppb for Aberdeen residents and residents of neighboring communities, respectively. Overall, there were few differences in immune markers between Aberdeen residents and nonresidents. However, there were a larger number of Aberdeen residents with a low percentage of CD16 cells, and the results of the mitogen stimulation assay were statistically significantly lower among Aberdeen residents. In addition, IgM levels were statistically significantly higher among residents who lived within 1 mi of any dump site compared to residents who lived farther away.

The study group consisted of 207 healthy Caucasian motherinfant pairs. Exposure to the compounds was estimated by concentrations in maternal and cord plasma and in human milk, and immunologic effects in children at 42 months of age were discerned by questionnaire and by analyses of blood samples. Results indicated that the positive effect of breast-feeding on recurrent middle-ear infections was counteracted by the negative effect of PCB exposure. Prenatal PCB exposure was also associated with a lower prevalence of attacks of shortness of breath with wheeze, and current PCB body burden was associated with a lower prevalence of allergic reactions to food, pollen, dust, and/or household pets. Prenatal PCB exposure was associated with a higher number of CD8 super(+) and T-cell receptor alpha beta super(+) T cells at 42 months of age.

AN - 14564820; 10599405 AB - The estrogenic effects of bisphenol-A at low dose levels were determined using the immature rat uterotrophic assay. Plasma concentrations of bisphenol-A were measured 1 h after the last administration to assess possible differences in concentrations between subcutaneous and oral administration routes. Results showed that uterine weight was a good marker for evaluating the estrogenic activity of the compound. Uterine wet and blotted weights increased in animals administered 40 and 160 mg/kg bisphenol-A subcutaneously and in groups administered 160 and 800 mg/kg bisphenol-A orally. Uterotrophic activity proved to be more sensitive to subcutaneous injection of bisphenol-A than oral administration.

Significant variability in benzene exposures was observed, with 95% of the concentrations covering a 274-fold range. Statistical analysis revealed three significant predictors of benzene exposure: fuel octane grade, season, and duration of refueling. Benzene exposures were lowest when diesel fuel was dispensed and highest when mid-grade gasoline was dispensed. Benzene exposures were higher in summer than in spring, and duration of refueling was related inversely to benzene exposure. Immediately after refueling, benzene levels in breath samples ranged from less than 0.0032 to 36.0 mg/m super(2).

Akodon montensis and Oryzomys nigripes were collected in an industrial area, an agricultural area, and a permanent preservation area, and cytogenetic endpoints were examined. The endpoints included polychromatic/normochromatic cell ratio, mitotic index, frequency of cells with micronuclei in bone marrow and peripheral blood, and frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations in bone marrow. Results revealed that micronucleated cells were a relevant biomarker for the early detection of environmental stressors. Oryzomys nigripes was found to be more sensitive to spindle poisons, while A. montensis was more susceptible to polyploidy inducers at the preservation area and the agricultural area, and O. nigripes was more susceptible to polyploidy inducers at the industrial area.

Data from the Prachatice region, which is known to have relatively low levels of particulate matter compared to Teplice, were evaluated to assess the respective roles of carcinogenic PAHs and fine particles in the retardation of fetal growth. Results showed that, throughout the 4 yr of the study, the PAH/particulate matter correlations were high in the Teplice region, and the correlation matrix was relatively stable, while the mean total PAH/PM correlation in Prachatice was much lower and fluctuated considerably. In Teplice, intrauterine growth rate risk was associated with the concentration of particles exclusively in the first month of gestation. In Prachatice, the association of intrauterine growth rate risk with PM sub(10) levels was not significant. Analysis of the data revealed an exposureresponse relationship between carcinogenic PAH levels in the first month of gestation and intrauterine growth rate risk.

Based on the correlation of the DNA-based assay and a soil bioassay, the risk of disease development can be estimated. Ggt DNA levels of 50 pg in 0.1 g soil organic matter correspond to low, moderate and high levels of the disease, respectively. Limitations in the prediction of take-all, including sampling requirements to obtain representative soil samples from fields and increasing the sensitivity and the accuracy of the DNA assay, are described. The main advantage in using the DNA-based assay, in estimating the amount of Ggt inoculum in soil, is that the levels of Ggt in soil samples can be assessed rapidly and accurately. Farmers can now have soil samples assessed before sowing. The DNA result can be used to predict the potential yield loss and determine the most appropriate management options using decision support software that is currently available. This DNA technology is currently being used commercially to detect and predict take-all.

AN - 72431236; 11069302 AB - The interface between apoptosis (programmed cell death) and the cell cycle is essential to preserve homeostasis and genomic integrity. Here, we show that survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis over-expressed in cancer, physically associates with the cyclin-dependent kinase p34(cdc2) on the mitotic apparatus, and is phosphorylated on Thr(34) by p34(cdc2)-cyclin B1, in vitro and in vivo. Loss of phosphorylation on Thr(34) resulted in dissociation of a survivin-caspase-9 complex on the mitotic apparatus, and caspase-9-dependent apoptosis of cells traversing mitosis. These data identify survivin as a mitotic substrate of p34(cdc2)-cyclin B1 and suggest that survivin phosphorylation on Thr(34) may be required to preserve cell viability at cell division. Manipulation of this pathway may facilitate the elimination of cancer cells at mitosis.

AN - 72420077; 11082536 AB - Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) of human plasma is known to be highly susceptible to oxidative inactivation, although the mechanism of this inactivation is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the high sensitivity of the enzyme is due to the derivatization of its two free SH groups flanking the active site pocket. Modification of the SH groups with a reversible inhibitor protected the enzyme against oxidative inactivation. Mutagenesis of either of the cysteines to glycine increased the resistance of the enzyme, which retained 46% of activity in presence of 150 microM Cu(2+), compared to only 27% of the activity retained by the wild type enzyme (WT). Replacement of both the cysteines with glycines resulted in retention of over 65% activity. Cysteine replacement similarly protected the enzyme from inactivation by the oxidized substrate. Chicken LCAT, which has only one cysteine (Cys(26)), was more resistant than the human enzyme. Introduction of an additional cysteine corresponding to the second cysteine in human LCAT (N184C) resulted in increased susceptibility of chicken enzyme (87% loss of activity in presence of 150 microM Cu(2+), compared to 55% loss in WT). Substitution of the lone cysteine with glycine (C26G) resulted in a more resistant enzyme, which lost <40% activity under the same conditions. These results show that the primary targets of the oxidizing agents or the products of oxidation are the SH groups of the enzyme, whose derivatization leads to steric inhibition of the activity.

Three indices of extreme rainfall were examined: the number of events above an extreme threshold (extreme frequency); the average intensity of rainfall from extreme events (extreme intensity); and the proportion of total rainfall from extreme events (extreme percent). Several problems are discussed associated with designing such indices under a climate with significant trends in the number of raindays. Three different methods are used for calculating the extreme intensity and extreme percent indices to account for such trends in raindays. A separate analysis was carried out for four separate regions with significant results including a decrease in the extreme frequency and extreme intensity in southwest Western Australia and an increase in the extreme percent in eastern Australia. Trends in the extreme intensity and extreme percent are largely dependent on the method used to calculate the index. Total rainfall is strongly correlated with the extreme frequency and extreme intensity indices, suggesting that extreme events are more frequent and intense during years with high rainfall. Due to an increase in the number of raindays during such years, the proportional contribution from extreme events to the total rainfall depends on the method used to calculate this index.

AN - 72390379; 11064208 AB - The route of formation and identification of the principal degradation products of thimerosal (thiomersal) has been undertaken. The initial oxidation to dithiosalicylic acid is followed by cleavage of the disulphide bond of the dithiosalicylic acid by the ethylmercuric ion to reform 1.5 mol of thimerosal with concurrent oxidation to form 0.5 mol of 2-sulfinobenzoic acid for each mole of dithiosalicylic acid. In the presence of copper ions 2-sulfobenzoic acid was also formed. A mechanism has been proposed which accounts for the stoichiometry of the cleavage reaction observed and the significance of the reaction is discussed.

Stomachs were available for 69 fish collected in 1993 and 1994. Surprisingly, this fish had a relatively narrow range of prey items. The single most frequent prey item was the onychoteuthid squid Moroteuthis ingens (predominantly juveniles) which was eaten by 93% of the fish. The other important prey were the loliginid squid Loligo gahi, the myctophid fish Gymnoscopelus nicholsi and the southern blue whiting Micromesistius australis. There was no evidence of larger individuals of L. immaculatus ingesting larger individuals of any of the 4 main prey species. An unexpected finding was the relatively high incidence of plastic ingestion (14% of fish). The plastic came from a variety of sources including food, napkin and cigarette wrappers and various pieces of plastic line and straps used in securing boxes. In several instances, there was evidence of feeding on fishing boat discards. The findings reveal a significant impact of plastic pollution in this region of the Southwest Atlantic.

AN - 21356686; 7696841 AB - To characterize the seasonal variability of endotoxin levels, we measured endotoxin in dust from the bed, bedroom floor, and kitchen floor in 20 homes, and in air from the bedroom in 15 of the homes. All homes were located in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, area and were sampled each month from April 1995 to June 1996. Outdoor air was collected at two locations. We found greater within-home than between-home variance for bedroom floor, kitchen floor, and airborne endotoxin. However, the reverse was true for bed dust endotoxin. Thus, studies using single measurements of dust endotoxin are most likely to reliably distinguish between homes if bed dust is sampled. Dust endotoxin levels were not significantly associated with airborne endotoxin. Airborne endotoxin was significantly (p = 0. 04) and positively associated with absolute humidity in a mixed-effect model adjusting for a random home effect and fixed effect of sampling month and home characteristics. This finding implies that indoor humidity may be an important factor controlling endotoxin exposure. We found a significant (p fall) and bedroom airborne endotoxin (spring > winter), but not in the other indoor samples. We found significant seasonal pattern in outdoor airborne endotoxin (summer > winter).

DSM 11572 (named 2MPII) has been isolated from a Mediterranean coastal sediment. This strain is able to use 2-methylphenanthrene (2-MP) as a growth substrate. In order to understand the degradation processes and their selectivity, we have elucidated the metabolic pathways of 2-MP degradation. In this respect, in this paper, we report the identification of several metabolites resulting from the oxidation of 2-MP by the Sphingomonas sp. Metabolites of 2-MP, identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry in culture media, belong to two distinct metabolic pathways. The first pathway involves, in the first step, the double hydroxylation of an aromatic ring catalyzed by a di-oxygenase. This pathway generates before the opening of the aromatic ring. The exact double hydroxylation positions have not been totally elucidated. The second pathway is initiated by the hydroxylation of the methyl side chain by a mono-oxygenase. It leads, by the oxidation of the methyl group, to the formation of alcohol, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid.

To grow within phagocytic host cells, the bacteria must create a specialized organelle that restricts fusion with lysosomes. Biogenesis of this replicative organelle is controlled by 24 dot and icm genes, which encode a type IV-related transport apparatus. To understand how this transporter functions, isogenic L. pneumophila dot and icm mutants were characterized, and three distinct phenotypic categories were identified. Our data show that, in addition to genes that encode the core Dot/Icm transport apparatus, subsets of genes are required for pore formation and modulation of phagosome trafficking. To understand activities required for virulence at a molecular level, we investigated protein-protein interactions. Specific interactions between different Icm proteins were detected by yeast two-hybrid and gel overlay analysis. These data support a model in which the IcmQ-IcmR complex regulates the formation of a translocation channel that delivers proteins into host cells, and the IcmS-IcmW complex is required for export of virulence determinants that modulate phagosome trafficking.

SeqA binds preferentially to hemimethylated GATC sequences of DNA in vitro. SeqA is essential for the synchronous initiation of chromosome replication from oriC copies in vivo. Results: We show that: (i) purified SeqA binds AT-rich and 13-mers regions and two DnaA boxes, R1 and M, of hemimethylated oriC. (ii) SeqA inhibits the in vitro replication of a hemimethylated oriC plasmid more efficiently than the fully methylated, (iii) SeqA inhibits competitive binding of DnaA protein to the regions of the hemimethylated oriC plasmid, explaining the mechanism of its inhibitory effect. The inhibition of DnaA binding by SeqA also occurs efficiently on a small hemimethylated oriC fragment containing both R1 and M DnaA boxes, but not the 13-mer region. Conclusions: SeqA binds strongly the long region from the AT-rich region to the M DnaA box of the hemimethylated oriC DNA and releases DnaA molecules from the long region.

We undertook laboratory and field experiments on host selection of one potential control agent (the endoparasitic barnacle, Sacculina carcini) against its natural host (the widely invasive European shore crab, Carcinus maenas) and several confamilial and more distantly related crustaceans. For comparison, we also tested host specificity in a related parasitic barnacle, Heterosaccus lunatus. The results confirm indistinct behavioral host selection in S. carcini, indicate very different mechanisms for host selection by S. carcini and H. lunatus (which could be related to differences between the two species in attachment points), and suggest host specificity in S. carcini depends on interactions between the parasite and the host's physiology. Development of convincing safety trials for marine parasites like S. carcini, in which the infective stage is a planktonic larva, will be more difficult than for many terrestrial parasites and will require detailed knowledge of the parasite's behavior and physiological interaction with its hosts.

The disease is characterised by gastrointestinal, neurological and cardiovascular disturbances. In cases of severe toxicity, paralysis, coma and death may occur. There is no immunity, and the toxins are cumulative. Symptoms may persist for months or years, or recur periodically. The epidemiology of ciguatera is complex and of central importance to the management and future use of marine resources. Ciguatera is an important medical entity in tropical and subtropical Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, and in the tropical Caribbean. As reef fish are increasingly exported to other areas, it has become a world health problem. The disease is under-reported and often misdiagnosed. Lipid-soluble, polyether toxins known as ciguatoxins accumulated in the muscles of certain subtropical and tropical marine finfish cause ciguatera. Ciguatoxins arise from biotransformation in the fish of less polar ciguatoxins (gambiertoxins) produced by Gambierdiscus toxicus, a marine dinoflagellate that lives on macroalgae, usually attached to dead coral. The toxins and their metabolites are concentrated in the food chain when carnivorous fish prey on smaller herbivorous fish. Humans are exposed at the end of the food chain. More than 400 species of fish can be vectors of ciguatoxins, but generally only a relatively small number of species are regularly incriminated in ciguatera. Ciguateric fish look, taste and smell normal, and detection of toxins in fish remains a problem. More than 20 precursor gambiertoxins and ciguatoxins have been identified in G. toxicus and in herbivorous and carnivorous fish. The toxins become more polar as they undergo oxidative metabolism and pass up the food chain. The main Pacific ciguatoxin (P-CTX-1) causes ciguatera at levels = 0.1 mu g/kg in the flesh of carnivorous fish. The main Caribbean ciguatoxin (C-CTX-1) is less polar and 10-fold less toxic than P-CTX-1. Ciguatoxins activate sodium ion (Na super(+)) channels, causing cell membrane excitability and instability. Worldwide coral bleaching is now well documented, and there is a strong association between global warming and the bleaching and death of coral. This, together with natural environmental factors such as earthquakes and hurricanes, and man-made factors such as tourism, dock construction, sewage and eutrophication, may create more favourable environments for G. toxicus. While low levels of G. toxicus are found throughout tropical and subtropical waters, the presence of bloom numbers is unpredictable and patchy. Only certain genetic strains produce ciguatoxins, and environmental triggers for increasing toxin production are unknown.

From these data, the growth limits for combinations of temperature (7.7-37.0 degree C) and water activity (0.943-0.987; NaCl as humectant) are defined and modelled using a nonlinear logistic regression model. That form of model is able to predict the combinations of salt concentration/water activity and temperature that will prevent the growth of E. coli R31 with selected levels of confidence. The model fitted the data with an approximate concordance rate of 97.3%. The minimum water activity that permitted growth occurred in the range 25-30 degree C, the temperature range which optimises cell yield. At temperatures below this range the minimum water activity which allowed growth increased with decreasing temperature.

A review of the current use of other types of soil analyses indicates that, while their use in some cases is justified, there are substantial limitations to the development of reliable and widely applicable calibrations. Factors that govern concentrations of nutrients in soil solution and the methods for measuring them are reviewed in relation to their use in nutrient management of forest plantations and agricultural crops. Topics include a discussion of (i) nutrient supply and uptake mechanisms; (ii) solution culture studies which define critical concentrations in solution; (iii) methods of sampling solution from soils and (iv) estimation of concentrations that can be maintained at root surfaces in soil. By inference, nutrient supply would not limit plant growth if concentrations at most root surfaces (e.g. young roots in surface soil) were maintained at or above concentrations needed to maintain high rates of growth in solution culture, i.e. critical concentrations. Several aspects of this method have been validated for N and P in Eucalyptus nitens plantations. For example, when concentrations of ammonium (the preferred N source for E. nitens) in the field fell below the critical level of 50 mu M, plantations of E. nitens responded to applications of N-fertilizer. This method was also useful for predicting P deficiency in corn (Zea mays), Eucalyptus globulus and E. nitens grown in soils of widely different P-supply characteristics. The convergence of concepts based on the principles of soil nutrient supply and uptake, which link soil and solution culture studies, is likely to provide a unifying approach for diagnosing nutrient-supply limitations to plant growth and a practical tool for nutrient management in forest plantations.

We modeled the effects of temperature, water activity, pH, and lactic acid levels on the growth of two strains of Listeria monocytogenes in tryptone soya yeast extract broth. The results could be divided unambiguously into 'growth is possible' or 'growth is not possible' classes. We observed minor differences in growth characteristics of the two L. monocytogenes strains. The data follow a binomial probability distribution and may be modeled using logistic regression. The model used is derived from a growth rate model in a manner similar to that described in a previously published work (K. A. Presser, T. Ross, and D. A. Ratkowsky, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 64:1773-1779, 1998). We used 'nonlinear logistic regression' to estimate the model parameters and developed a relatively simple model that describes our experimental data well. The fitted equations also described well the growth limits of all strains of L. monocytogenes reported in the literature, except at temperatures beyond the limits of the experimental data used to develop the model (3 to 35 degree C). The models developed will improve the rigor of microbial food safety risk assessment and provide quantitative data in a concise form for the development of safer food products and processes.

Biodegradation of APEs results in the accumulation of persistent short chain mono-, di- and tri-ethoxylates (AP1EO, AP2EO AP3EO) that are more toxic than the parent compounds and potentially oestrogenic. Accumulation of persistent APE metabolites in shallow or ephemeral waters may pose a hazard to aquatic fauna. This study has followed the degradation and formation of individual oligomers in freshwater in static die-away tests with and without illumination. Over 33 days in darkness there was a progressive and complete loss of long chain oligomers (NP8-17EO), transient increases and subsequent loss of short to medium chain oligomers (NP4-7EO), and large persistent increases ( similar to 1000%) in short chain oligomers (NP1-3EO). In the presence of illumination, biodegradation was retarded and heterotrophic bacterial proliferation was inhibited. After 33 days there was complete loss of long chain oligomers (NP9-17EO), incomplete loss of medium chain oligomers (NP6-8EO) and increases in short chain oligomers (NP1-5EO).

However, the range of observations available to assess these model predictions is limited. We have utilized an ocean biogeochemical model to project the impact of climate change on the oxygen cycle in the ocean and the air-sea exchange of oxygen. With climate change, our model predicts an outgassing of oxygen from the ocean. In the model, the Southern Ocean is the region that displays the largest change in the air-sea exchange of oxygen with climate change. The reduced oxygen uptake in the Southern Ocean is dominated by a reduction in convective mixing and in the subduction rate of bottom water which decreases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the Southern Ocean. Our model results suggest that dissolved oxygen is sensitive to changes in Southern Ocean circulation revealing the potential to use dissolved oxygen to test model predictions of climate change. From Southern Ocean observations collected 28 years a part we observed a decrease in dissolved oxygen that was consistent with model climate change simulation. This provides credibility to the climate model predictions. Additional analysis and observations of dissolved oxygen are needed to substantiate our climate model simulations.

AN - 72348924; 11039937 AB - Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) recognize and bind to specific duplex DNA sequences and have been used extensively to modify gene function in cells. Although germ line mutations can be incorporated by means of embryonic stem cell technology, little progress has been made toward introducing mutations in somatic cells of living organisms. Here we demonstrate that TFOs can induce mutations at specific genomic sites in somatic cells of adult mice. Mutation detection was facilitated by the use of transgenic mice bearing chromosomal copies of the supF and cII reporter genes. Mice treated with a supF-targeted TFO displayed about fivefold greater mutation frequencies in the supF gene compared with mice treated with a scrambled sequence control oligomer. No mutagenesis was detected in the control gene (cII) with either oligonucleotide.

AN - 72320183; 11024452 AB - MTT, a positively charged tetrazolium salt, is widely used as an indicator of cell viability and metabolism and has potential for histochemical identification of tissue regions of hypermetabolism. In the present study, MTT was infused in the constant-flow perfused rat hindlimb to assess the effect of various agents and particularly vasoconstrictors that increase muscle metabolism. Reduction of MTT to the insoluble formazan in muscles assessed at the end of experiments was linear over a 30 min period and production rates were greater in red fibre types than white fibre types. The vasoconstrictors, norepinephrine (100 nM) and angiotensin (10 nM) decreased MTT formazan production in all muscles but increased hindlimb oxygen uptake and lactate efflux. Veratridine, a Na(+) channel opener that increases hindlimb oxygen uptake and lactate efflux without increases in perfusion pressure, also decreased MTT formazan production. Membrane stabilizing doses (100 microM) of (+/-)-propranolol reversed the inhibitory effects of angiotensin and veratridine on MTT formazan production. Muscle contractions elicited by stimulation of the sciatic nerve, reversed the norepinephrine-mediated inhibitory effects on MTT formazan production, even though oxygen consumption and lactate efflux were further stimulated. Stimulation of hindlimb muscle oxygen uptake by pentachlorophenol, a mitochondrial uncoupler, was not associated with alterations in MTT formazan production. It is concluded that apart from muscle contractions MTT formazan production does not increase with increased muscle metabolism. Since the vasoconstrictors angiotensin and norepinephrine as well as veratridine activate Na(+) channels and the Na(+)/K(+) pump, energy required for Na(+) pumping may be required for MTT reduction. It is unlikely that vasoconstrictors that stimulate oxygen uptake do so by uncoupling respiration.

Desorption and sorption of phosphorus, and related changes in mineral magnetic properties after desorption AN - 17754890; 4810755 AB - Algal blooms frequently occur in the Maude Weir in the Murrumbidgee River of NSW, which are related to the availability of nutrients, particularly phosphorus. A clayey sediment from the bottom released P to the water when kept under reducing conditions, but did not release P when the supernatant water was aerated. The same material, with and without aeration, sorbed P when resuspended in water containing 1 mg P L super(-1). The resuspended anaerobic material adsorbed almost twice as much as the same material under aerobic conditions. Vigorous mixing, simulating transport breakage and abrasion, caused a substantial increase in sorption, with the effect being greater for the aerobic material. This was attributed to fragmentation of iron oxide aggregates formed during oxidation. Mineral magnetic properties, susceptibility and remanence ratios SIRM/ chi , SIRM/ARM and IRMh%, of the material from the desorption experiment reflected changes in the chemical state of iron caused by oxidation and reduction.

The seedlings were subjected to four treatments before planting: non-hardened (NH) E. globulus and E. nitens, cold-hardened (CH) E. nitens, and nutrient-starved (NS) E. nitens. Seedlings were planted alongside established 1-year-old E. nitens saplings. The experimental site was at 350 m above sea level, which is considered marginal for the establishment of E. globulus plantations due to low mean minimum temperatures. Cold and sunny conditions after frost increased photoinhibition in the order: NH E. globulus > NH and CH E. nitens > NS and established E. nitens. As a result there was 20% mortality of NH E. globulus seedlings. NS E. nitens seedlings were severely photoinhibited and had high anthocyanin levels at planting; levels of photoinhibition decreased after planting, anthocyanin levels remained high and there was no mortality. Carotenoid levels were low in E. globulus compared to E. nitens treatments. It was concluded that cold-induced photoinhibition is a factor determining the range of environments where E. globulus can be successfully planted, and not frost tolerance alone. Anthocyanin was synthesised in response to increased photoinhibition. Anthocyanin levels were correlated to the severity of the photoinhibition. Thus, E. nitens seedlings nutrient starved in the nursery are pre-conditioned to photoinhibitory conditions experienced soon after planting. This treatment is a useful risk-management tool where cold-induced photoinhibition is likely to occur during seedling establishment.

AN - 85359136; pmid-11129450 AB - Children with developmental dyslexia are known to have problems with phonological awareness and, in particular, with phonological decoding. This study was aimed at determining the relationship between orthographic and phonological decoding strategies used by a group of children with developmental dyslexia and two groups of children who were average readers (matched on reading age and chronological age, respectively). The three groups of children, 12 in each, were presented with single words, either visually or orally. The children were asked to pronounce these words using either an orthographic (spelling) strategy following mental deletion of one letter, or a phonological (sounding) strategy following mental deletion of one sound. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the reading age control group were more accurate when using phonological strategies than when using orthographic strategies, whereas the chronological age control group generally showed superior orthographic and phonological processing abilities compared with both the developmental dyslexia and reading age control groups. Compared with both chronological and reading age control groups, children in the developmental dyslexia group had more difficulty when using a phonological strategy, particularly when words were presented auditorily. However, compared with their performance on phonological tasks, the developmental dyslexia group performed at a level commensurate with their age when carrying out the orthographic tasks.

Routine testing found persistently high readings of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in the water supply. After initial official inactivity, health warnings were issued leading to comprehensive boil water alerts. The paper examines the issues of scientific uncertainty and the response of the Government to the crisis. In particular, the paper examines the establishment and course of the Sydney Water Inquiry, chaired by Peter McClellan, QC, which delivered its final report in December 1998. The recommendations of the Inquiry are assessed, in particular the establishment of an independent catchment management authority, augmentation of treatment processes, and upgraded monitoring and research. Implementation of the recommendations by the Government by legislative and executive act is also addressed. Finally, the lessons to be learned are discussed, especially care of the catchment and restrictions on certain types of development within it. Postcript: Amazingly, no one got sick!

AN - 72273490; 10996407 AB - The role of glutamate in the central nervous system of invertebrates is poorly understood. In the present study we examined the effects of a glutamate transporter inhibitor, L-trans-2,4-pyrrolidine dicarboxylate (L-trans-2,4-PDC), on memory formation in the honeybee following a three-trial classical conditioning of the proboscis extension reflex (PER). Pre-training injections of the drug have no effect on acquisition and short-term (1 h) memory, but impair long-term (24 h), associative olfactory memory in a dose-dependent manner. This effect is transient and the amnesiac individuals can be re-trained successfully 48 h after injections. Our results suggest that glutamatergic neurons in the honeybee brain, in particular those found in the mushroom bodies (MBs), may be part of the circuitry involved in processing of long-term olfactory memory. Such a role for this neurotransmitter is consistent with our previous results showing that glutamate and glutamate transporter(s) are localised in regions of the honeybee brain implicated in higher order processing.

Putting Student Performance First. [A Report of the] Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Committee on Education and the Workforce, U.S. House of Representatives. AN - 62345865; ED451585 AB - This report presents the compilation of information gathered from hearings and oversight activities held in 1999 and 2000. Its primary focus is on the underlying policies behind success in education at all levels of government: policies that put student performance first. It offers the troubling news that for the first time since the National Assessment of Educational Progress began measuring academic achievement 30 years ago, an entire decade passed without significant and substantial gains. During the 1990s, achievement leveled off in most grades and subject areas and achievement gaps have not narrowed despite intensive federal efforts to target funds to disadvantaged students. In fact, for the last 12 years, most achievement gaps have been widening, and the gains made during the 1970s and 1980s were lost. The text argues that the current federal role does not reward results and that many federal education dollars were devoted to unproven programs. The report suggests that schools and districts be given more flexibility in the use of federal funds, that the amount of regulation in running the schools be lessened, that parents be empowered, that everyone is afforded access to a high-quality education, and that the money spent at the Department of Education is done so with integrity.

It also promoted coordinated information management activities on a government-wide basis by the director of the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) & prescribed information management responsibilities for the executive agencies. The management focus of the PRA was sharpened with the 1986 amendments which refined the concept of "information resources management" (IRM), defined as "the planning, budgeting, organizing, directing, training, promoting, controlling, & management activities associated with the burden, collection, creation, use, & dissemination of information by agencies, & includes the management of information & related resources such as automatic data processing equipment." This key term & its subset concepts received further definition & explanation in the PRA of 1995, making IRM a tool for managing the contribution of information activities to program performance, & for managing related resources, such as personnel, equipment, funds, & technology. The PRA currently authorizes appropriations for its administration by the Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), located within OMB, through FY2001 (44 U.S.C. 3520). Reauthorization of OIRA appropriations provides an opportunity to upgrade the PRA's provisions & address prevailing government information management issues. Adapted from the source document.

The authors describe the killings in Africa by European imperial powers; the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire; Hitler's mass murders of Jews; millions killed in Stalin's Soviet Union & Mao's Communist China; the Cambodian killing fields; & massacres in Rwanda, the Sudan, & Chechyna. The importance of remembering is stressed, as well as the necessity to reject pessimism as the final answer. Jewish theology played a part in Jews' survival, & their contribution to the world is attributed in part to their commitment to memory & the writing of an authentic history. It is suggested that what is needed is not only history but memory anchored in purpose & meaning. The importance of moving toward reconciliation & into an era of peace are stressed. Accountability & justice have the potential to redeem evil. 12 References. E.

The reaction zone is blue-purple in colour and occasionally associated with a white zone at the reaction zone/healthy sapwood interface. A log incubation experiment has shown that the reaction zone is particularly durable against decay. The reaction zone is significantly drier than healthy sapwood, with lower levels of potassium, and a lower pH than both sapwood and heartwood. The increased total phenols levels and abundant tyloses in the reaction zone may be particularly important in defence.

A significant IgE response to CT was observed in 90% of the patients with V. cholerae O1 infection (18 of 20; P = <0.001) and 95% of the patients with V. cholerae O139 infection (19 of 20; P = <0.001). Similarly, the majority of the patients with ETEC diarrhea (83%; 13 of 15) showed a positive IgE response to CT. Eight of 10 North American volunteers (80%) orally challenged with V. cholerae O1 showed CT-specific IgE responses (P = 0.004). In contrast, Swedish volunteers immunized with the oral cholera vaccine showed no IgE responses to CT (P value not significant). During the study period, total IgE levels in the sera of the diarrheal patients, the North American volunteers, and the Swedish cholera vaccinees alike remained unchanged. However, the total IgE levels in the sera of patients and healthy Bangladeshi controls were on average 89-fold higher than those in the sera of the healthy Swedish volunteers and 34-fold higher than those in the sera of the North American volunteers.

Three glasshouse experiments examined whether litter or soil from beneath bitou bush or Acacia plants could influence seed germination and seedling growth of A. sophorae. The presence of litter decreased seed germinability and this effect was greater for bitou bush litter than for Acacia litter. Shoot growth was increased by the addition of Rhizobium after 40 days, irrespective of soil type. After 78 days, shoot and root biomass were significantly lower for seedlings grown in bitou bush soil than for those grown in Acacia soil. There was a non-significant trend towards a lower median population of Rhizobium in the soil beneath bitou bush than in that beneath Acacia. The results demonstrated a slight effect of bitou bush on the growth of A. sophorae, which could, however, be overshadowed by the judicious use of herbicides or fire for weed control and revegetation.

Australia and New Zealand, where biota with a high degree of endemism have evolved, are particularly susceptible to environmental weeds. Environmental weeds have been implicated in the extinction of several indigenous plant species, and they also threaten ecosystem stability and functional complexity. Historically, emphasis has been placed on the chemical or manual 'control' of weed infestations, often with little consideration of the long-term effectiveness or the ecological consequences of such an approach. As the threat from environmental weeds is becoming more fully recognized, an integrated, strategic and ecological approach to weed management is being recommended. In both countries, systems for screening new plants before allowing entry for cultivation have been developed. For already established plants, management is conducted within a legislative and policy framework such as the Regional Pest Management Strategies that operate through the Biosecurity Act 1993 in New Zealand. Noxious weed legislation in Australia has historically focused on agricultural weeds, but some Acts are (or have recently been) undergoing revision to give greater emphasis to environmental weeds and the involvement of the community in weed management. Quarantine, legislation, research and on-ground management are complemented by education programmes about the impact and control of environmental weeds. This paper provides an overview of the 'tool-kit' needed to manage environmental weeds in Australia and New Zealand, comparing and contrasting the approaches taken in the two countries. It also provides a broad framework for the case studies that make up this special issue on the ecology and management of environmental weeds in both countries.

This mechanism was generally accepted, although it had never been tested critically. We tested this mechanism by investigating temperatures, CO sub(2) concentrations, and air currents in and around two types of Macrotermes bellicosus mounds: cathedral-shaped mounds with many ridges and thin walls located in the savanna and dome-shaped mounds without ridges and with thick walls in the forest. These two mound shapes have two different mechanisms of ventilation, depending on the environmental temperature. In the savanna during the day, sun heats the air in the peripheral air channels inside the ridges of the mound above the central nest temperatures and produces a temperature gradient in the peripheral air channels with decreased temperatures at the top of the mound. This temperature gradient leads to convection currents with air rising inside the air channels of the ridges to the top of the mound, meanwhile exchanging CO sub(2). In contrast, in the savanna during the night and generally in the forest, the temperatures inside the air channels are lower than those of the central nest, and no air currents rising upward inside the air channels were detected. The CO sub(2) concentrations in the air channels of savanna mounds at night and forest mounds in general were higher than during the day in the savanna. Therefore, our data do not support Luescher's proposed mechanism.

The lizards apparently rely on spider burrows as refuge sites. In this paper we describe the dimensions of burrows occupied by lizards. Larger lizards occupy deeper burrows with wider entrance diameters than do smaller juvenile lizards. When offered a choice of artificial burrows in the field, all lizards preferred vertical over angled burrows, while adult lizards preferred deeper burrows than did juveniles. In laboratory trials with artificial burrows of equal depth, lizards tended to prefer the narrowest burrow they could fit into. We suggest that lizards are constrained by a preference for a deep burrow to reduce the risk of being dug out, and to avoid climatic extremes, and a preference for a narrow burrow in which they can block predator access. The result is that smaller lizards have different optimal burrow dimensions than larger lizards. To maintain a viable population of lizards a variety of burrow sizes is needed. Conservation strategies for this species may include maintaining a diverse community of hole digging spiders, or providing a variety of sizes of artificial burrows.

In this study, the model of Hubal et al., which calculates average flux across the nasal epithelium of the rat using estimates of nasal surface area and overall nasal uptake of formaldehyde, was refined using an improved computational fluid dynamics model of the rat nasal airways and increased use of regional rat nasal DNAprotein cross-links data. The model approach was then extended to rhesus monkeys and humans. The results showed that the well-mixed model of formaldehyde disposition in the nasal epithelium was capable of predicting measured DNAprotein cross-links values accurately. The relative levels of nasal mucosal DNAprotein cross-links in the three species for a given inhaled concentration of formaldehyde were predicted to vary with concentration.

The epidemiologic contributions to understanding the etiology of uterine leiomyomata are then examined, citing specific studies. Several consistent patterns are identified: increased risks among black women and decreased risks among postmenopausal women, women who have had live births, and women who smoke cigarettes. Future directions for epidemiologic research in this area are proposed.

From three to six tumors were collected from each woman, with matched myometrial samples taken from an area adjacent to, but not including, the leiomyomas for each woman. Results showed that there was markedly increased expression of insulin-like growth factor-IR beta in the leiomyomas, and insulin-like growth factor-I peptide expression was increased in some tumors. The findings suggested a possible paracrine mechanism for insulin-like growth factor-I-induced growth in leiomyomas. There was no difference in immunolocalization of tumor growth factor- alpha in uterine leiomyomas and matched myometrial samples. It appears that different growth factors, growth factor receptors, and signaling pathways are coordinately turned on and off throughout the menstrual cycle and throughout the life span of the tumors, and that one growth factor/receptor pathway alone is not responsible solely for the growth of these tumors.

The analytical method used is described. Highest levels were found for monoethyl phthalate, monobutyl phthalate, and monobenzyl phthalate, at concentrations of 16,200, 4670, and 1020 ppb, respectively, after urinary creatinine adjustment. The more lipophilic phthalate monoesters, such as mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate and mono-3-methyl-5-dimethylhexyl phthalate, were found generally at lower levels than other monoesters. Data are presented on the urinary metabolite levels and the influence of age, education, ethnicity, residence, and sex. Overall, the data indicated that phthalate exposure was both higher and more common than thought previously.

Here, concepts of canonical modeling in the context of environmental health is reviewed. Canonical modeling is based on nonlinear ordinary differential equations whose right-hand sides consist of productions of power-law functions, which results from the linearization of complex processes in logarithmic space. The review demonstrates how canonical modeling might play a role in integrated assessments of environmental health issues at various levels, as these models of biochemical and metabolic systems have the potential of explaining how toxic agents affect an organism and why different species may respond differently to comparable exposures.

Experimental and theoretical methods useful in identifying the mechanisms underlying the determinants of drug and metabolite kinetics in intact organs are described, and the multiple indicator dilution (MID) method is presented, which is a dynamic tracer method based on comparing the temporal data obtained from a studied substance prone to degradation and excretion with that of an inert reference indicator substance. The underlying mathematical theory of the MID technique is outlined, as is the theory of superposition, the case of irreversible cellular uptake, and barrier-limited transport. A dispersion model is also presented, which is a stochastic model based on assumptions of concurrent convective and random-walk movements in the direction of flow, as well as steady-state models of elimination in whole organs and recirculatory whole-body models. The potential use of MID in risk assessment is discussed.

Recent studies have shown that estrogens and progestins regulate the expression of several potent angiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor. Here, results are summarized from studies on the nature and mechanism of the regulated expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. Described are the regulation of uterine vascular endothelial growth factor by estrogens, progestins, breast cancer cells, and by cross-talk between steroids and other signaling pathways. The findings suggest that the disease may involve derangements in the factors that regulate angiogenesis and capillary function and that the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and their cognate receptors may represent potential targets for prevention and treatment.

The ability to tailor the parameter values of these models to a particular animal species offers a firm basis for intraspecies extrapolation, but some parameters remain difficult to extrapolate across species. The structure of classical toxicokinetic and PBTK models is described briefly, and the issues of parameterization and calibration are considered. A Bayesian approach to their statistical analysis is then described in terms of the tools used. The Bayesian statistical analysis allows combination of two forms of information: prior knowledge about parameter values drawn from the scientific literature and data from toxicokinetic experiments.

Using 798 Korean Pb workers and 135 controls, the influence of the vitamin D receptor and delta -aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) genes on bone, blood, and chelatable Pb levels was examined. Results showed that subjects with the vitamin D receptor B allele had significantly higher blood Pb levels, chelatable Pb levels, and tibia Pb levels that did subjects with the vitamin D b genotype. In adjusted analyses, subjects with the ALAD super(2) allele had higher blood Pb levels, but no difference in tibia or chelatable Pb levels compared to subjects without the allele.

Indeed, there is increasing evidence to suggest that estrogen stimulation of the progesterone receptor, epidermal growth factor, and insulin-like growth factor-I is involved in myoma growth. Biochemical and histologic evidence supporting a critical role of progesterone in the pathogenesis of myomas is presented, along with clinical evidence supporting this role. The evidence suggests that progesterone, progestins, and progesterone receptor stimulate mitotic activity and promote myoma proliferation.

The focus of the study was on the effects on rat testicular steroidogenesis. Results showed that Askarel inhibited rat testicular steroidogenesis when administered in vivo, independent of the mode of exposure. In addition, a significant inhibition of hCG-stimulated progesterone and androgen production by decapsulated testes was observed. Askarel also inhibited 3 beta -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in the postmitochondrial fractions and facilitated P450c17 activity when injected bilateral intratesticularly and added in vitro. No inhibition of 3 beta -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity was observed in ip-treated animals. The two substitute transformer fluids did not affect rat testicular steroidogenesis.

Using a model that is an extension of a previous physiologically based pharmacokinetic model, the molecular mechanism of sequestration, consisting of privileged access of endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound epoxide to the active site of a transiently associated epoxide hydrolase molecule, was assessed. The model predictions were compared with data for butadiene uptake and clearance and for circulating epoxide concentrations in mice and rats. Results showed that calculated blood butadiene concentrations were somewhat higher than observed for the rat. However, removal of the cytochrome P450epoxide hydrolase privileged access mechanism from the model resulted in an order of magnitude overprediction of circulating epoxides.

The compounds were o,p'-DDT, genistein, 4-n-octylphenol, and 4-nonylphenol. Bioassay results showed that each of the compounds induced activation of the estrogen receptor in a concentration-dependent manner. For all compound mixtures, the model of concentration addition and the model of independent action produced almost identical concentrationresponse curves. Good agreement was found between the predicted and experimentally observed mixture effects.

A wide range of doses was administered. A strong linear relationship was observed between the blood and fat concentrations of both compounds, but beta -hexachlorocyclohexane produced a slightly lower response than o,p'-DDT. In both the uterus and vagina, o,p'-DDT was more potent, producing a significant effect at a concentration of 18 ng/ml compared to 42 ng/ml required for a significant effect by beta -hexachlorocyclohexane. Statistically significant increases in uterine epithelial cell height were detected at blood concentrations of 66 and 18 ng/ml for beta -hexachlorocyclohexane and o,p'-DDT, respectively.

A schematic of the model, which contains both positive and negative feedback, is provided. Two systems of two-dimensional ordinary differential equations are used to model both the leuteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone processes of synthesis, release, and clearance. Results are presented from tests of the model under three scenarios: normal ovarian profiles and the effect of clinical challenges with estrogen and progesterone. Results show that the model correctly predicts the time course of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone in the blood during the menstrual cycle and reproduces several types of responses to exogenous hormone administration observed in clinical studies.

The family consists of three known members: HMG-I, HMG-Y, and HMGI-C, which possess three independent AT-hook DNA-binding domains that allow the proteins to preferentially bind to the minor groove of stretches of AT-rich sequences and to recognize DNA structure rather than sequence. The structure and function of the HMGI(Y) family are described, focusing on how HMGI(Y) proteins regulate gene transcription and cell growth; HMGI(Y) overexpression, neoplastic transformation, and metastasis; and AT-hook chromosome rearrangements and tumors. The possible etiology and maintenance of human tumors associated with chromosomal translocations are discussed in light of the finding that an HMGI(Y)-like DNA-binding specificity can be conferred on a heterologous, structured protein product by chimeric fusion with one or more AT-hook motifs.

The aim of such systems is to allow an effective local response to prevent exposure. The desirable properties of early warning systems are considered, along with the costs and benefits. While systems that detect and warn of many contaminants will be more desirable than systems that provide narrow coverage, the costs will be different and must be assessed individually at the local level. The most effective use of an early warning system will occur where there is a structured, well-defined approach to the interpretation of the data generated and to the types of responses that are triggered by the data.

The study involved 88 women undergoing ART treatment who had 106 treatment cycles. Results indicated that the pregnancy rate after ART treatment was considerably lower in the group of patients with intramural and/or submucosal fibroids, even when there was no deformation of the uterine cavity. The implantation rate per embryo/egg transferred was not influenced by the presence of subserosal fibroids.

Whereas prostaglandins are responsible for the induction of either apoptosis or dedifferentiation in normal postpartum myometrial cells, leiomyoma cells contain defects in this signaling pathway and persist in a proliferative phenotype. The Eker rat animal model for leiomyoma is also outlined. These female rats develop steroid hormone-dependent leiomyomas spontaneously and with a high incidence similar to that of humans. The model shows that these rats have an autosomal recessive germline mutation in the tuberous sclerosis-2 gene and that tuberin, the gene product of this tumor suppressor gene, has been suggested to be a cofactor for steroid hormone-mediated transcription, indicating an alteration in this signaling pathway. The loss of this gene in humans results in the genetic disorder, tuberous sclerosis, that is characterized by the formation of hamartomas.

The association of these fractions with daily mortality in each city was then examined to derive overall relative risks for each fraction. Using silicon, lead, and selenium as tracer elements, crustal, mobile, and coal combustion factors, respectively, were identified in each city, with coal and mobile sources accounting for the majority of fine particles. For the three source factors, the strongest increase in daily mortality was associated with the mobile source, with daily mortality increasing 3.4% with each 10 mu g/m super(3) increase in the 2-d mean of the mobile-source factor. For coal combustion, the increase in mortality amounted to 1.1% with each 10 mu g/m super(3) increase in the 2-d mean mass concentration. No association was found between mortality and the crustal factor.

Steady-state and biweekly surveys were conducted in Albuquerque, NM, to assess the amount of metallic Pb deposited in urban streets by these wheel weights and the rate of Pb abrasion. The studies were conducted along a 2.4-km six-lane divided street segment. Results indicated that, if accumulated for 1 yr, the amount of Pb deposited met the Pb hazard guideline 10,20013,400 times/yr, which was sufficient to create a continuous hazardous environment at a traffic-light intersection.

AN - 72311473; 11018721 AB - The ubiquitin-specific proteases (Ubps) are a family of largely dissimilar enzymes with two major conserved sequence regions, containing either a conserved cysteine residue or two conserved histidine residues, respectively. The murine Unp oncoprotein and its human homologue, Unph, both contain regions similar to the conserved Cys and His boxes common to all the Ubps. In this study we show that Unp and Unph are active deubiquitinating enzymes, being able to cleave ubiquitin from both natural and engineered linear ubiquitin-protein fusions, including the polyubiquitin precursor. Mutation of the conserved Unp Cys and His residues abolishes this activity, and identifies the likely His residue in the catalytic triad. Unp is tumorigenic when overexpressed in mice, leading to the suggestion that Unp may play a role in the regulation of ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. We have demonstrated here that the high-level expression of Unp in yeast does not disrupt the degradation of the N-end rule substrate Tyr-beta-galactosidase (betagal), the non-N-end rule substrate ubiquitin-Pro-betagal, or the degradation of abnormal, canavanine-containing proteins. These data suggest that Unp is not a general modulator of ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.

We simultaneously examined the effect of patch size and plant density (and their interaction), on the recorded oviposition patterns. Our results show that oviposition first occurred on the largest patches with the highest number of plants. However, there was no significant effect of patch size or number of plants per patch at the end of the experiment. At this time the level of attack per plant was negatively correlated with plant density. This negative effect of density on the level of oviposition was not mediated by a reduction in plant size at higher densities. The pattern observed may indicate a risk-spreading strategy by females.

United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62256947; ED459983 AB - A U.S. Senate committee hearing received testimony on the Indian School Construction Act, which would establish a bonding authority for leveraging existing tribal education funds through bonds to fund tribal school construction, maintenance, and repair. The testimony from U.S. senators and representatives of the Department of the Interior and American Indian organizations discussed the following: the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) school construction and repair backlog of over $1 billion; the terrible condition of school facilities on Indian reservations; the need to regard any bonding initiative as a supplement, not a replacement, to federal appropriations; the specific details of how tribes would issue bonds that would be secured by federal money in an escrow account and would have interest payments covered by federal tax credits; the question of federal loan guarantees; and the nature of the federal government's trust responsibility concerning educational assistance to tribes.

These two species are the most important and abundant species in this region of the South Pacific Ocean. Data were obtained from extensive NIWA research cruises over 10years. There was a sharp demarcation between the distribution of the two species, with N. sloanii occurring predominantly shallower than 600m, with the greatest biomass less than 300m. In contrast, M. ingens had the highest biomass between 650 and 700m and occurred down to 1400m. The biomass of N. sloanii reached more than 3500kg.km super(-2), with an average catch rate of over 186kg.km super(-2). In contrast, the biomass of M. ingens was more than an order of magnitude less, with all catch weights less than 200kg.km super(-2) and an average catch rate less than 17kg.km super(-2). The separation of these two species appeared to be related to depth, temperature and, possibly, salinity. N. sloanii occurred predominantly in warmer, shallower subtropical waters while M. ingens occurred in deeper, cooler subantarctic and antarctic intermediate water masses. The Subtropical Front formed a major barrier between the distribution of these two squid species.

Research and Development Report. AN - 62349554; ED445625 AB - This report examines the association between institutional characteristics and the earnings of recent college graduates five years after graduation. Data from the 1980 High School and Beyond (HS&B) survey were combined with information about courses, grades, credits, and credentials contained in the Postsecondary Education Transcript Study, a comprehensive source of information about the postsecondary experiences of the 1980 HS&B sophomore cohort. Information about the colleges came from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. The study also included information from the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges. Data analysis indicated that the net contribution of college characteristics to variance in men's earnings was relatively small (somewhat less than the net effect of background characteristics on earnings). Higher education experiences accounted for substantially more variance in men's earnings than either college or background characteristics. Institutional characteristics explained more of the variance in women's earnings than they did in men's earnings. For both sexes, choice of major related to later earnings. Attending a selective versus nonselective institution also related to higher earnings. Appended are technical notes and methodology; standard error tables; and a glossary. (Contains 55 references.)

Clinton AN - 60593240; 200100430 AB - Presidential war power has expanded because of executive initiatives, congressional acquiescence, & judicial passivity. This article takes a look at the traditional role of courts in serving as an independent check on presidential war power. During the past half-century, however, judges have increasingly invoked a number of doctrines to avoid deciding war power cases: standing, mootness, ripeness, political questions, & prudential considerations. This pattern culminates in Congressman Tom Campbell's challenge to President Bill Clinton's war in Yugoslavia, a case that failed on a combination of standing & political questions. The net effect of this legislative & judicial performance is that we now have unchecked presidential wars, a condition that would have astonished the framers of the Constitution. 7 References.

We present new field and isotopic data from the northern Stauning Alper which indicate that the 1050-930 Ma history of the area was characterized by deposition of extensive clastic sequences. Sources of detritus were dominated by rocks of Mesoproterozoic age, with only limited contributions from Archaean sources, suggesting deposition at a distance from the present Caledonian foreland. A Neoproterozoic granite (938c13 Ma) provides evidence for thermal perturbation at a time of extensional collapse and uplift recorded in NW Scotland, the Grenville Belt of Canada, Labrador and the Sveconorwegian of SW Sweden and southern Norway. Widespread anatexis in the northern Stauning Alper at c. 430-425 Ma resulted from both collisional melting and decompression melting on uplift contemporaneous with the early part of orogenic collapse of the Caledonian Fold Belt. Caledonian deformation was focused at the zone of most extensive granite emplacement. Isotopic evidence suggests that Caledonian granites, previously thought to be entirely post-kinematic, actually predate late Caledonian extension.

The modeled variance and distribution of the mean are typically used in pest management programs to decide if the population is above the action threshold in any management unit (MU) (e.g., orchard, forest compartment). For nested or multi-level sampling the usual two-stage modeling procedure first obtains the sample variance for each MU and sampling level using ANOVA and then fits a regression of variance on the mean for each level using either Iwao or TPL variance models. Here this approach is compared to the single-stage procedure of fitting a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) directly to the count data with both approaches demonstrated using 2-level sampling. GLMMs and additive GLMMs (AGLMMs) with conditional Poisson variance function as well as the extension to the negative binomial are described. Generalization to more than two sampling levels is outlined. Formulae for calculating optimal relative sample sizes (ORSS) and the operating characteristic curve for the control decision are given for each model. The ORSS are independent of the mean in the case of the AGLMMs. The application described is estimation of the variance of the mean number of leaves per shoot occupied by immature stages of a defoliator of eucalypts, the Tasmanian Eucalyptus leaf beetle, based on a sample of trees within plots from each forest compartment. Historical population monitoring data were fitted using the above approaches.

Phenotypic characteristics, DNA base composition and DNA-DNA hybridization values clearly separate the Antarctic strains from Cellulophaga baltica and other Cellulophaga species. Thus, the strains form a distinct and novel species and have the proposed name Cellulophaga algicola sp. nov. (type strain IC166(T)=ACAM 630(T)). In addition, it was recognized that the species Cytophaga uliginosa (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Reichenbach 1989, a species phylogenetically remote from the type species of the genus Cytophaga, possessed 16S rDNA sequences and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits similar to those of other Cellulophaga species. Thus, it was proposed that the species Cytophaga uliginosa be renamed as Cellulophaga uliginosa comb. nov.

Three alternative data combinations are presented to calculate pup condition from body measurements and identify which combination seems to be best suited for analysing geographic patterns. A morphometric index of pup condition was best estimated by comparing all pups in all years using least-squares linear regression of the log sub(e)-transformed measurements of length vs mass. Condition varied significantly among years and colonies, but not between sexes. We also estimated seasonal changes in pup densities at colonies and investigated the relationship between pup density and condition. Mean pup densities among colonies ranged from 4.94 to 7.46 pups/100 m super(2) (summer) and from 4.99 to 7.04 pups/100 m super(2) (winter) from 1996-98, and differences between summer and winter densities varied with year. Pup density explained a significant proportion of the variation in pup condition in 1996 and 1998, suggesting that condition is partly density-dependent. After accounting for the effect of density, we found geographic differences in pup condition, and we offer alternative hypotheses to explain these differences. We also show that the 1998 El Nino coincided with a reduction in pup condition. A morphometric index of pup condition seems to be useful as an indicator of spatial and temporal variation in the marine environment.

Although some attempts will be made to relate any defined regions to other regional environmental features, our primary focus is on whether the data have an intrinsic regional patterning. Because this is a preliminary attempt to distinguish regions using an alternative method to a priori regionalization, the regions herein are presented only for evaluating the potential of the method. Neither the regions nor their names in this paper are being proposed as permanent tools.

After proteolytic degradation of the S-layer glycoprotein, three glycopeptide pools were isolated, which were analyzed for their carbohydrate and amino-acid compositions. In all three pools, tyrosine was identified as the amino-acid constituent, and the carbohydrate compositions corresponded to the above structure. Native polysaccharide PAGE showed the specific heterogeneity of each pool. For examination of the carbohydrate-protein linkage region, the S-layer glycan chain was partially hydrolyzed with trifluoroacetic acid. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, including a novel diffusion-edited difference experiment, showed the O-glycosidic linkage region beta -D-glucopyranose arrow right O-tyrosine. No evidence was found of additional sugars originating from a putative core region between the glycan repeating units and the S-layer polypeptide. For the determination of chain-length variability in the S-layer glycan, the different glycopeptide pools were investigated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, revealing that the degree of polymerization of the S-layer glycan repeats varied between three and 10. All masses were assigned to multiples of the repeating units plus the peptide portion. This result implies that no core structure is present and thus supports the data from the NMR spectroscopy analyses. This is the first observation of a bacterial S-layer glycan without a core region connecting the carbohydrate moiety with the polypeptide portion.

Six possums were fed an artificial diet to which 0.5 % 1,8-cineole (wet weight) was added for 2 days. Urine and faeces were collected after the second day. A sample of each was extracted into ethyl acetate and analysed for metabolites. Both free and total levels of metabolites were identified by GC-MS and LC-MS and quantified by GC-MS. The pattern of metabolite excretion was very complex in the brushtail possum. Nineteen metabolites were found in total. Metabolites were categorized into four groups according to the oxidation they had undergone: hydroxycineoles (n = 3), cineolic acids (n = 2), dihydroxycineoles (n = 3) and hydroxycineolic acids (n = 11). No hydroxycineolic acid metabolites have been previously reported as metabolites of 1,8-cineole. Fractional recovery of the ingested dose (2.4 plus or minus 0.5 g; mean plus or minus SD) was 0.44 plus or minus 0.14 (mean plus or minus SD) in 24 h. Sixty percent of excreted metabolites were hydroxycineolic acids, the most extensively oxidized metabolites. Conjugation with glucuronic acid was inversely related to metabolite polarity, being greatest for hydroxycineoles (41-82 %) and minimal for hydroxycineolic acids. Traces of most metabolites were also found in the faeces.

The trichlorobenzenes were detected through antisera developed to haptens containing either a trichlorobenzene or trichlorpyridine moiety, developed using the herbicides, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) and triclopyr, respectively. An enzyme conjugate based on 2,4,5-trichlorophenol provided most sensitive and specific detection. Although the assays cross-reacted with the herbicides, they did not suffer from the major disadvantage of extremely strong cross-reaction with cyclodiene organochlorines reported for a commercial HCH assay. The most sensitive assay had a lower detection limit of 20 mu g l super(-1) in drinking water and was applied to water and soil matrices.

The effects of towed bottom-fishing gear on benthic communities is the subject of heated debate, but the generality of trawl effects with respect to gear and habitat types is poorly understood. To address this deficiency we undertook a meta-analysis of 39 published fishing impact studies. 2. Our analysis shows that inter-tidal dredging and scallop dredging have the greatest initial effects on benthic biota, while trawling has less effect. Fauna in stable gravel, mud and biogenic habitats are more adversely affected than those in less consolidated coarse sediments. 3. Recovery rate appears most rapid in these less physically stable habitats, which are generally inhabited by more opportunistic species. However, defined areas that are fished in excess of three times per year (as occurs in parts of the North Sea and Georges Bank) are likely to be maintained in a permanently altered state. 4. We conclude that intuition about how fishing ought to affect benthic communities is generally supported, but that there are substantial gaps in the available data, which urgently need to be filled. In particular, data on impacts and recovery of epifaunal structure-forming benthic communities are badly needed.

This is critical for assay reliability and data interpretation. Clinical trials involving human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) studies require large quantities of blood to assess patient safety, as well as immunological, virological, and pharmacological parameters. While some assays require only the cellular portion of blood, others require only the plasma fraction. To minimize the amount of blood required at each visit, it is necessary to consolidate specimens. Many clinical protocols currently require the use of EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood for molecular assays and acid citrate dextrose (ACD)-anticoagulated whole blood for culture assays. The goal of this study was to determine whether one of the two anticoagulants would be better suited to provide samples for all virology assays.

AN - 17044401; 4824927 AB - An approach to baleen whale stock assessment based on maximum likelihood estimation is outlined. This approach is able to consider uncertainty in all of the parameters of the BALEEN II population dynamics model used for the assessment of the Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort (B-C-B) Seas stock of bowhead whales. It replaces the prior distributions used in the Bayesian analyses to incorporate indirect information by bounds (only) on model quantities. The results from this approach are notably different from Bayesian analyses based on the same data/assumptions. These differences result from two factors: the specific shapes chosen for the priors for biological parameters needed for the Bayesian approach, and the updating of these priors, together with the covariance introduced between them, by the exclusion process which ensures consistency of parameter sets generated from these priors with the population model, before the data are taken into account in the assessment. The second of these factors is shown to be much more important in accounting for the difference between the results. However, it is unclear whether this exclusion process is defensibly accorded the probabilistic interpretation that the Bayesian approach assumes of it. Until this question is satisfactorily settled, the bounded maximum likelihood method introduced in this paper may provide a more defensible basis for assessment of the B-C-B bowhead population, even though it may be unable to take account of some information which could be incorporated in a Bayesian approach.

These systems are characterized by harsh climates, ephemeral flows that do not reach bank top, and bare cohesive banks of clay and weathered bedrock. We investigated the rates and processes of bank erosion in an incised canal that has such characteristics. Detailed measurements of bank position were made over two years with a purpose-built groundprofiler and photo-electronic erosion pins (PEEPs). Stage height and turbidity were also monitored. The bare banks eroded at 13 plus or minus 2 mm a super(-1). Erosion is controlled by subaerial processes that loosen bank material. Observations show that needle-ice growth is important in winter and desiccation of clays predominates in summer. Flows are unable to erode firm cohesive clays from the banks, and erosion is generally limited by the availability of loosened material. This produces strong hysteresis in turbidity during events. Peak turbidity is related to the number of days with low flow between events, and not peak stage. Rehabilitation with a moderate cover of grass is able to prevent bank erosion by limiting the subaerial erosion processes. Projections of current erosion suggest that without vegetation cover the banks are unlikely to stabilize for many years.

A particular concern is defining what seawater temperature is recorded by the alkenone distributions preserved in sediments. Does it, for example, reflect a seasonal average or a snapshot of bloom conditions or some other combination of environmental effects? This paper reviews some of the environmental and ecological factors that might affect alkenone distributions and, in particular, the influence of depth and seasonality on alkenone production in the water column.

In addition, the ability of the liganded receptors to interact with Xenopus vitellogenin A2 estrogen response element and human pS2 estrogen response element in direct binding assay was studied. Differential binding of the dietary estrogens to the receptor proteins was observed. Genistein bound ER beta with the same affinity as 17 beta -estradiol and had a low relative binding affinity for ER alpha . Differences in binding to both human receptors was also observed with zearalenone and coumestrol. ER alpha saturated with any of the phytoestrogens had lower affinity for both estrogen response elements than ER alpha liganded with 17 beta -estradiol. Coumestrol promoted the highest affinity of ER alpha for Xenopus vitellogenin A2 estrogen response element.

The men in the survey lived either in Teplice, which is a highly industrialized district with seasonally elevated levels of air pollution, or in Prachatice, a rural district with relatively clean air. The men from both locations were similar with respect to descriptive factors, although the men in Prachatice were heavier and were more likely to consume alcohol than men in Teplice. Sperm concentrations and total sperm counts, although not significantly associated with district, season, or exposure to periods of elevated air pollution, were at the low end of the ranges reported for populations of men worldwide. When sampled at the end of the winter after periods of elevated air pollution, men from Teplice exhibited evidence of lower sperm motility and poorer morphology when compared to men sampled after periods of lower air pollution. Positive associations were observed between sperm straight-line velocity and linearity and season. Decreases in the percentage of motile sperm were observed in the men sampled late winter 1994 but not in men sampled late winter 1993 despite the fact that the levels of air pollutants were higher in 1993.

Individual maternal exposures were estimated by linking the mother's residence to the geographic area served by each water facility. When all stillbirths combined were considered, the level of total trihalomethanes and specific trihalomethanes in public water supplies were each associated with increased risk of stillbirth. On average, 90% of the total trihalomethane value was accounted for by chloroform levels. Relative risks associated with total trihalomethanes rose with increasing levels of exposure. A stronger relationship with the trihalomethane factors was observed for asphyxia-related deaths than unexplained deaths.

A large variation in water quality was observed, and in some cases, parameter values on the labels did not agree with the analytical results. Seven of the brands exceeded the water-quality standard of 500 mg/l for total dissolved solids in drinking water, while only one brand exceeded the standard for chloride. The European samples showed the highest mean values for total dissolved solids and NO sub(3)N, and the second highest values for chloride. Three brands exceeded the standard for Pb. Carbonated waters averaged significantly higher total dissolved solids and SO sub(4) concentrations than noncarbonated brands, and ozonated versus nonozonated waters showed statistically significant differences only for NO sub(3)N.

Particulate matter and carbon monoxide were monitored in 55 houses for 1415 h/d for more than 200 d. Results indicated that PM sub(10) concentrations decreased initially rapidly with increasing distance from the stove, but concentrations then increased at a slow rate after a distance of approximately 0.5 m. When the house environments were divided into six exposure microenvironments, the exact relationship between the microenvironment concentrations depended on the instantaneous air flow. The timeactivity budgets indicated that some household members were consistently closest to the fire when the pollution level was highest, which could change from day to day. Young and adult women were found to have not only the highest absolute exposure to particulate matter from biomass combustion, but also the largest exposure relative to males in the same age group.

In past studies, a doseresponse trend has been observed between the prevalence of the disease and the arsenic level in drinking water. During the follow-up period of 1499.5 person-years, 41 of 446 subjects developed diabetes mellitus in the villages. Sex was not found to be a significant risk factor for newly developed disease. The subjects living in the arseniasis-hyperendemic villages had higher incidence rates of diabetes mellitus than subjects living in nonendemic areas. The incidence of disease rose abruptly in subjects older than 55 yr, who had higher long-term As exposures than younger subjects.

The exposure data were then related to cancer mortality data for the period 198089. Residents of counties where the main crop was spring or durum wheat were found to have an increased mortality risk for several types of cancer. In counties with higher wheat acreage, oral cavity cancer in women and larynx cancer in men were significantly increased, and there were nonsignificant increases for esophagus and bladder cancers. In boys and girls, there was an increasing trend in brain cancer and leukemia with increasing wheat acreage, and an increase in all cancers in boys.

In this study, the effects of gestational and lactational exposure to PCB 153 at three concentrations were determined and compared to the effects of acute exposure to control rat hippocampal area CA1 slices. There was no obvious effect of PCB exposure on baseline synaptic responses before tetanic stimulation or on the process of posttetanic potentiation. However, the slices from exposed animals showed reduced long-term potentiation compared to controls. Even the lowest dose of PCB 153 resulted in significant reduction in long-term potentiation.

The second study could not replicate these findings, however. A comparison of the experimental procedures used in the two studies is provided, and the differences between the outcomes are discussed.

The monitoring system is described. Integrated-air samplers were also used to collect air for chemical analysis. The samples were collected in a break room of a building attached to the maintenance hangar, on the flight tarmac during a four-engine run-up test, in the maintenance hangar, and in the aircraft during different operations. Results showed that the PAH profiles for each activity were dominated by naphthalene, the alkyl-substituted naphthalenes, and other PAHs expected to be in the vapor phase. Other than samples collected downwind of the aerospace ground equipment and during the engine running on/off loading exercise, none of the integrated-air samples contained appreciable levels of particle-bound PAHs. The same trends were observed in the mean responses of the real-time PAH monitors, with only two exceptions. The highest potential for flight crew and ground-support personnel exposure to PAHs occurred during the four-engine run-up tests, the engine running on/off loading exercise, and the reverse taxi maneuver with the cargo ramp door down. While the exposure could be significant, the concentrations were below typical workplace standards for PAH-related emissions.

Modeling results revealed that the concentrations of acrolein, arsenic, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, carbon tetrachloride, chromium, formaldehyde, and nickel exceeded health benchmark values in one or more census tracts. The upper-bound excess lifetime cancer risks based on the modeled concentrations ranged from 2.7 10 super(-5) to 140.9 10 super(-5). The modeling results tended to underestimate the concentrations compared with measured values, as the measured values showed that the statewide median concentrations of benzene, carbon tetrachloride, formaldehyde, and Cr exceeded the health benchmark values. Of the eight pollutants of highest concern, a consistent trend across several monitoring sites was identified only for benzene, which exhibited a slight but significant decrease in concentration over time.

To establish a baseline risk, daily counts of hospital emissions for cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders were computed. Results indicated that PM sub(10) was associated with hospital admissions for all three health problems. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease substantially increased the risk of respiratory admissions associated with airborne particles. There was a tendency for the effect of PM sub(10) on cardiovascular disease admissions to be higher for females, while the effect on pneumonia admissions was higher for males.

Cells from discrete water bottle samples were examined to gain both qualitative and quantitative information on the composition, distribution and abundance of protistan organisms, together with bacterial abundance and distribution data. A total of 92 protistan taxa were identified by shipboard and transmission electron microscopic observations, including 52 diatom, 13 dinoflagellate and 24 nano-planktonic species. The diatom species assemblage was indicative of mature summer conditions. The most widespread species were Fragilariopsis curta and Nitzschia lecointei. Nitzschia spp. and related genera (Fragilariopsis spp., Psuedonitzschia spp. and Cylindrotheca spp.), were also numerically dominant throughout the survey area (mean cell counts of 1.6x10 super(6) l super(-1) for cells 20 mu m). The protistan community was determined to be biomodal, with a variable net-planktonic community superimposed on a stable nano-plankton base. The impact of macro and protozooplankton grazing on a protistan community of this nature is discussed. Both protistan and bacterial abundance decreased in the west of the survey area, coupled with an increase in taxonomic diversity. Changes in abundance-based community structure in the east are attributed to mesoscale variations in the availability of macronutrients. The decrease in abundance across the entire survey area was concurrent with the onset of winter conditions (decreased light availability and increased mixed layer depths), although evidence is presented to suggest that depressed biological activity in this region may be a persistant feature.

Daphnia longicephala produced a large crest and attained a larger size when exposed to both predators. D. carinata sl matured earlier than D. longicephala and did not produce a crest. Surprisingly, kairomones of both predators inhibited the production of ephippia in D. carinata sl. Anisops stali, the larger of the two predator species, induced a significantly larger crest size in D. longicephala, and larger brood size in both species compared with the smaller A. gratus, indicating a quantitative but not qualitative effect of predator species on inducible defences.

The total plasma platinum levels and urinary accumulation were determined up to 3 h following a bolus injection of 2 mg/kg. The results of the pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the complex suppressed the rapid distribution of CDDP, decreased the renal clearance and resulted in over fivefold higher AUC values within 3 h in comparison with CDDP treatment. In addition, the plasma levels of the drug following administration of the complex decreased greatly with time throughout the experimental period (3-24 h), whereas a slow elimination was observed following CDDP administration, which was due to the irreversible protein binding of CDDP. The tissue-to-plasma partition ratio at 10 min also indicated that the CDDP-CSA complex controlled the perfusion of CDDP to tissues, especially to the kidney. The accumulation in various tissues was evaluated at 3 h and 24 h following the injection of 5 mg/kg. Marked differences in renal accumulation were found within 3 h. Significant reductions in accumulation in the kidney, lung, muscle and whole blood were found within 24 h of administration of the complex. The renal toxicity of the CDDP-CSA complex was evaluated by measuring blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Cr) and the ratio of terminal kidney weight to body weight at doses of 2 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg. The complex displayed a much lower nephrotoxicity at 5 mg/kg in comparison to CDDP, and similar results were obtained at 2 mg/kg. This suggests that the complex changed the toxicodynamics of CDDP. Moreover, the anticancer activity of the CDDP-CSA complex, tested against SW 4800 human colon cancer cells and HeLa human cervix cancer cells in vitro, showed no decrease as compared with that of free CDDP. We conclude that the CDDP-CSA complex had the same activity as the parent drug but showed reduced nephrotoxicity at high doses of CDDP through an improvement in the pharmacokinetics of CDDP, which resulted from both the minimization of entry into normal tissues and renal clearance. In addition, it is also possible that different intracellular interactions in renal cells play a role in protection against the nephrotoxicity of high doses of CDDP.

AN - 72274532; 10996299 AB - The interaction of a potent carcinogen, aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)), with a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (GG), has been investigated. The binding of AFB(1) to GG in the late exponential-early stationary phase was studied for viable, heat-killed and acid-killed bacteria. In general, viable, heat-killed and acid-killed GG responded in a similar manner. The effects of pronase E, lipase and m-periodate on AFB(1) binding and release were consistent with AFB(1) binding predominantly to carbohydrate components of the bacteria. The effect of urea suggested hydrophobic interactions play a major role in binding. Increasing concentration (0.01-1 M) of NaCl or CaCl(2) had minor effects on AFB(1) binding suggesting some involvement of electrostatic interactions. An increase in pH from 2.5 to 8.5 had no effect on AFB(1) binding but decreased binding of AFB(2a), possibly due to hydrogen bonding interactions.

The main contributions to changes in D arise from (1) the flux of D at the surface, dependent on a conductance g sub(q) that is a weighted sum of the bulk aerodynamic and surface conductances; and (2) the 'exchange' flux of D with the external environment by entrainment or advection, dependent on a conductance g sub(e) that is identifiable with the entrainment velocity when the partly open region is a growing convective boundary layer (CBL). The system is fully open when g sub(e)/g sub(q) 1 !, and fully closed when g sub(e)/g sub(q) 1 0. The equations determine the steady state surface energy balance (SEB) in a partly open system, the associated steady-state deficit, and the settling time scale needed to reach the steady state. The general result for the steady-state SEB corresponds to the equations of conventional combination theory for the SEB of a vegetated surface, with the surface-layer deficit replaced by the external deficit and with g sub(q) replaced by the series sum (g sub(q) super(-1) + g sub(e) super(-1)) super(-1). In the fully open limit D is entirely externally prescribed, while in the fully closed limit, D is internally determined and the SEB approaches thermodynamic equilibrium energy partition. In the case of the CBL, the conductances g sub(q) and g sub(e) are themselves functions of D through short-term feedbacks, induced by entrainment in the case of g sub(e) and by both physiological and aerodynamic (thermal stability) processes in the case of g sub(q). The effects of these feedbacks are evaluated. It is found that a steady-state CBL is physically achievable only over surfaces with at least moderate moisture availability; that entrainment has a significant accelerating effect on equilibration; that the settling time scale is well approximated by h/(g sub(q) + g sub(e)), where h is the CBL depth; and that this scale is short enough to allow a steady state to evolve within a semi-diurnal time scale only when h is around 500 m or less.

AN - 71786884; 10948256 AB - Multiple alleles controlling different gene-for-gene flax rust resistance specificities occur at the L locus of flax. At least three distinct regions can be recognized in the predicted protein products: the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor homology (TIR) region, a nucleotide binding site (NBS) region, and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region. Replacement of the TIR-encoding region of the L6 allele with the corresponding regions of L2 or LH by recombination changed the specificity of the allele from L6 to L7. Replacement of the TIR and most of the NBS-encoding region of L10 with the equivalent region of L2 or L9 generated recombinant alleles having a novel specificity. However, replacement of the L10 TIR-encoding region with the TIR-encoding region of L2 gave rise to an allele with no detectable specificity. These data indicate that non-LRR regions can determine specificity differences between allelic gene products and that functional specificity involves interactions between coadapted polymorphic regions in the protein products of the alleles. Evidence for the action of diversifying selection on the TIR region is observed.

Volume I: Secondary School Students. AN - 62351310; ED446308 AB - Over the past quarter of a century, the Monitoring the Future study has tracked young American's use of psychoactive substances, both illicit and licit. In this volume, findings are presented on the prevalence and trends of drug use and related factors for secondary school students (eight, tenth, and twelfth graders). Distinctions are made among demographic subgroups of these populations based on gender; college plans; region of the country; population density; parents' education; and race/ethnicity. This study demonstrates that key attitudes and beliefs about use of the various drugs are important determinants of trends in use over time. Attitudes are tracked as well as students' perceptions of certain relevant aspects of their social environment, including perceived availability of substances, peer norms, use by friends, and exposure to use. Chapter One provides an introduction. Chapter Two gives an overview of key findings. Chapter Three presents study design and the procedures. Chapter Four discusses the prevalence of drug use among the different grades. Chapter Five explains trends in drug use. Chapter Six looks at the incidence of drug use in the lower grades. Chapter Seven discusses the degree and duration of drug-induced highs. Chapter Eight details attitudes and beliefs about drug use. Chapter Nine includes the influence of the social milieu. Chapter Ten explains other findings from the study. (Contains 5 appendixes, 152 tables, 105 figures, and references.) (JDM) AU - Johnston, Lloyd D. AU - O'Malley, Patrick M. AU - Bachman, Jerald G.

AN - 62348701; ED446309 AB - This is the second volume in a two-volume set reporting the results of all surveys from the Monitoring the Future study of American secondary school students and college students. This volume presents the results of the 1977 through 1999 follow-up surveys of the graduating high school classes of 1976 through 1998, as the respondents progressed through young adulthood. Prior to this study, little nationally representative trend data existed on college students. It also presents for the first time prevalence and trend data on 35- and 40-year-olds. A major purpose of the study is to serve as a social monitor or social indicator intended to characterize the levels and trends in certain behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and conditions in the population. Social indicators have important agenda-setting functions for society, and they are useful for gauging progress against national goals. Another purpose is to develop knowledge that increases understanding of why changes in behaviors and attitudes are taking place among the population. In order for this volume to stand alone, Chapters Two and Three from Volume One have been repeated. Following the introduction in Chapter One, Chapter Two provides an overview of the key findings presented in both volumes. Chapter Three presents the design of the study. Chapters Four and Five discuss prevalence and trends of drug use in young adults. Attitudes and beliefs about drugs are included in Chapter Six and the social milieu for young adults is considered in Chapter Seven. Prevalence and trends of drug use specifically among college students are considered in Chapters Eight and Nine. (Contains 74 figures and 30 tables.) (Author/JDM) AU - Johnston, Lloyd D.

The mining activity in the property had almost ceased in late 1980s, but- resorting to a well-planned gee-exploration model backed by strong and tacit support of geologic data in the real terms could revive the mine production till date. In this belt chrome-ore bodies, as pseudo-stratified layers, occur enclosed in highly altered ultramafic lithologies along with relatively fresh bodies of orthopyroxenites (devoid of chrome ore); the entire sequence of igneous rocks being emplaced in the south-westerly plunging doubly-folded regional syncline of rocks of Precambiran Iron Ore Super Group (2950-3200 Ma). They are, in addition, severely faulted, sheared and intensely silicified & weathered into laterite and soil. In the mine area, in particular, the group, as a whole, has been devastated by the intrusions of granophyre and dolerite dykes accompanied by repeated faulting, shearing, fragmentation and body transport of large masses of u. m. rocks along with the enclosed orebodies so much so that tracing continuity of the deposits by simple geologic methods has become too difficult to follow in this kind of highly complicated geologic milieu. Data from magnetic and gravity surveys along with anomalies obtained from geochemical investigations of secondary geochemical patterns were synthesised and interpolated with strong structural data to pinpoint favourable targets for drilling to success for the revival of the mine production. Importance of the program sequence of the exploration procedure is discussed in the contribution.

These pollutants were selected from the six criteria pollutants and from the 189 toxic air pollutants on the basis of their prevalence in the United States, their physicochemical behavior, and the magnitude of their potential health threat. The health effects data included in this review primarily include results from epidemiologic studies; however, some findings from animal studies are also discussed when no other information is available. Health effects findings for each pollutant are related in this review to corresponding information about outdoor, indoor, and personal exposures and pollutant sources.

AN - 21256690; 11704981 AB - Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is scarring of the lung caused by a variety of inhaled agents including mineral particles, organic dusts, and oxidant gases. The disease afflicts millions of individuals worldwide, and there are no effective therapeutic approaches. A major reason for this lack of useful treatments is that few of the molecular mechanisms of disease have been defined sufficiently to design appropriate targets for therapy. Our laboratory has focused on the molecular mechanisms through which three selected peptide growth factors could play a role in the development of IPF. Hundreds of growth factors and cytokines could be involved in the complex disease process. We are studying platelet-derived growth factor because it is the most potent mesenchymal cell mitogen yet described, transforming growth factor beta because it is a powerful inducer of extracellular matrix (scar tissue) components by mesenchymal cells, and tumor necrosis factor alpha because it is a pleiotropic cytokine that we and others have shown is essential for the development of IPF in animal models. This review describes some of the evidence from studies in humans, in animal models, and in vitro, that supports the growth factor hypothesis. The use of modern molecular and transgenic technologies could elucidate those targets that will allow effective therapeutic approaches.

AN - 21250592; 11702241 AB - Agriculture is considered one of the most hazardous occupations. Organic dusts and toxic gases constitute some of the most common and potentially disabling occupational and environmental hazards. The changing patterns of agriculture have paradoxically contributed to both improved working conditions and increased exposure to respiratory hazards. Animal confinement operations with increasing animal density, particularly swine confinement, have contributed significantly to increased intensity and duration of exposure to indoor air toxins. Ongoing research has implicated bacterial endotoxins, fungal spores, and the inherent toxicity of grain dusts as causes of upper and lower airway inflammation and as immunologic agents in both grain and animal production. Animal confinement gases, particularly ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, have been implicated as additional sources of respiratory irritants. It has become evident that a significant percentage of agricultural workers have clinical symptoms associated with long-term exposure to organic dusts and animal confinement gases. Respiratory diseases and syndromes, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, organic dust toxic syndrome, chronic bronchitis, mucous membrane inflammation syndrome, and asthmalike syndrome, result from ongoing acute and chronic exposures. In this review we focus upon the emerging respiratory health issues in a changing agricultural economic and technologic environment. Environmental and occupational hazards and exposures will be emphasized rather than clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods of prevention, from both engineering controls and personal respiratory perspectives, are also addressed.

Species consisting of populations with different chromosome numbers pose questions as to the mode of inheritance, relative variability status, population divergence and gene flow. The self-incompatible species Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Asteraceae) in south-eastern Australia is a good example. The remnant populations in the northern sector of the species range are diploid, whereas southern ones are either diploid or tetraploid. Allozyme analysis of the tetraploid populations showed tetrasomic inheritance confirming an autopolyploid genetic system, a modest increase in their allelic richness over diploid populations in the same region and a lack of genetic divergence. Conservation and replenishment strategies should take account of these genetic features of mixed ploidy.

4859401 AB - The protein expression profiles of Rhizobium leguminosarum strains in response to specific genetic perturbations in exopolysaccharide (EPS) biosynthesis genes were examined using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Lesions in either pssA, pssD, or pssE of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39 or in pssA of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii ANU794 not only abolished the capacity of these strains to synthesize EPS but also had a pleiotropic effect on protein synthesis levels. A minimum of 22 protein differences were observed for the two pssA mutant strains. The differences identified in the pssD and pssE mutants of strain VF39 were a distinct subset of the same protein synthesis changes that occurred in the pssA mutant. The pssD and pssE mutant strains shared identical alterations in the proteins synthesized, suggesting that they share a common function in the biosynthesis of EPS. In contrast, a pssC mutant that produces 38% of the EPS level of the parental strain showed no differences in its protein synthesis patterns, suggesting that the absence of EPS itself was contributing to the changes in protein synthesis and that there may be a complex interconnection of the EPS biosynthetic pathway with other metabolic pathways. Genetic complementation of pssA can restore wild-type protein synthesis levels, indicating that many of the observed differences in protein synthesis are also a specific response to a dysfunctional PssA. The relevance of these proteins, which are grouped as members of the pssA mutant stimulon, remains unclear, as the majority lacked a homologue in the current sequence databases and therefore possibly represent a novel functional network(s). These findings have illustrated the potential of proteomics to reveal unexpected higher-order processes of protein function and regulation that arise from mutation. In addition, it is evident that enzymatic pathways and regulatory networks are more interconnected and more sensitive to structural changes in the cell than is often appreciated. In these cases, linking the observed phenotype directly to the mutated gene can be misleading, as the phenotype could be attributable to downstream effects of the mutation.

Low runoff production and low sediment availability on the rough surfaces of the GHA reduced total nutrient yields. On the more recently disturbed and burnt sites, the solution pathway may have been more dominant due to runoff coming in contact with surface ash and charcoal. We also recorded significant reductions in the total nutrient yields as runoff from the skid trail was delivered to the adjacent hillslope via a cross bank (water bar). This was due primarily to coarse-grained sediment deposition at the base of the banks. Nutrient concentrations in the eroded sediment at the cross bank outlets, however, remained 9 times higher than the in-situ surface soils, due to the preferential delivery of fine aggregate material to the adjacent hillslope. Further reductions in total nutrient yields occurred as overland flow passed through the GHA, illustrating the effectiveness of vegetative filtering in reducing runoff volumes and sediment fluxes. Temporal trends in the data highlighted significant reductions in total nutrient movement on both areas of disturbance as sites regenerated over a period of similar to 5 years. Water pollution abatement practices in these environments should aim to locate skid trails to maximise the redistribution of runoff and sediment from highly disturbed areas to more vegetated parts of the hillslope, and by appropriate cross bank spacing, reduce the volume of overland flow carrying sediment and nutrients.

Muell. along the Murray River in Australia. A green-leaved variant of E. largiflorens, which is probably a hybrid with a local mallee species (E. gracilis F. Muell.), tolerates saline conditions better than the more common grey-leaved variant. The green variant exhibited more negative water potentials than the grey variant, and comparison with soil water potential profiles indicated that the green variant extracted water from slightly higher up the soil profile where the salt content was lower but the soil was drier. However, the stable isotopes of water ( super(2)H and super(18)O) in the xylem did not differ significantly between paired green and grey trees, suggesting that both variants used the same water source. The green variant may be able to extract water for a longer period from a given point in the soil profile and tolerate a higher salt concentration around its roots than the grey variant. Predawn leaf water potentials of both variants decreased with increasing salinity of groundwater and decreasing depth to the groundwater, probably because the roots were being progressively confined to soil with lower matric potential as groundwater discharge through transpiration progressively salinized soil up the profile. The green variant had a lower assimilation rate and stomatal conductance than the grey variant, although the differences were not statistically significant during most of the year. Discrimination of super(13)C indicated that the green variant had a higher leaf internal CO sub(2) concentration than the grey variant, indicative of a greater biochemical limitation on photosynthesis, perhaps resulting from the effects of operating at lower water potentials. The green variant had significantly lower stem hydraulic conductivity than the grey variant, probably because of its smaller xylem vessel diameter and higher degree of embolism. The more conservative water use of the green variant and its ability to operate at lower water potential than the grey variant appear to underlie its ability to tolerate conditions of reduced useable water above the saline groundwater. This advantage appears to outweigh the costs of increased xylem embolism and reduced assimilation.

Over the last 40 years of the 20th century, allergic asthma has increased in many countries and in relation to several different allergens. Although this increase has differed in magnitude in different countries and also in the social groups most affected, it has had several features in common. The increase generally started between 1960 and 1970, has been progressive since then, and has continued into the 1990s without a defined peak. Among children 5-18 years of age, the increase has predominantly been among allergic individuals. Theories about the causes of the increase in asthma have focused on two scenarios: a) that changes in houses combined with increased time spent indoors have increased exposure to relevant allergens, or b) that changes in diet, antibiotic use, immunizations, and the pattern of infections in childhood have led to a change in immune responsiveness such that a larger section of the population makes T sub(H)2, rather than T sub(H)1 responses including IgE antibodies to inhalant allergens. There are, however, problems with each of these theories and, in particular, none of the proposed changes can explain the progressive nature of the increase over 40 years. The fact that the change in asthma has much in common with epidemic increase in diseases such as Type II diabetes or obesity suggests that similar factors could be involved. Several lines of evidence are reviewed that suggest that the decline in physical activity of children, particularly those living in poverty in the United States, could have contributed to the rise in asthma. The hypothesis would be that the progressive loss of a lung-specific protective effect against wheezing has allowed allergic children to develop symptomatic asthma. What is clear is that current theories do not provide either an adequate explanation of the increase or a practical approach to reversing the current trend.

Hence, a published report that clindamycin-pretreated rats developed signs and symptoms of enteritis following intragastric inoculation of an Aeromonas strain required further investigation. Although we could demonstrate long-term colonisation (>12 days) and histological damage in this animal model with Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with chronic diarrhoea, this was not seen with Aeromonas spp. Six Aeromonas strains, selected for their potential virulence and colonising abilities and including the strain from the original report, were either not recovered from stools or were recovered for no longer than 2 days post inoculation. Intestinal histology remained normal. Destruction of bacteria in vivo appeared to be due to immune mechanisms as inoculum strains were not 'suicidal' or unduly sensitive to low pH or clindamycin. This study was, therefore, unable to validate the clindamycin-treated rat model as a useful one for investigating the enteropathogenicity of Aeromonas species. Possible reasons for the discrepancy between our study and the original report are discussed.

We developed two bioassay methods (leaf mush, leaf disk) to test if the physiological state of the plants explained changes in toxicity and a third method (diet incorporation) was developed to quantify the toxicity of Bt leaves when mixed in chickpea diet. Cry1Ac protein was less toxic to H. armigera larvae when the protein was mixed with leaves from fruiting versus presquare conventional cotton. Differences in LC sub(50) varied from 2.4- to 726-fold, depending on the source of toxin and conventional plant material. These results suggest that plant-toxin interactions in fruiting cotton are reducing the toxicity of the Cry1Ac protein. The possible role of tannins in these changes is discussed.

Understanding the role of outdoor allergens requires a knowledge of the nature of outdoor allergen-bearing particles, the distributions of their source, and the nature of the aerosols (particle types, sizes, dynamics of concentrations). Primary sources for outdoor allergens include vascular plants (pollen, fern spores, soy dust), and fungi (spores, hyphae). Nonvascular plants, algae, and arthropods contribute small numbers of allergen-bearing particles. Particles are released from sources into the air by wind, rain, mechanical disturbance, or active discharge mechanisms. Once airborne, they follow the physical laws that apply to all airborne particles. Although some outdoor allergens penetrate indoor spaces, exposure occurs mostly outdoors. Even short-term peak outdoor exposures can be important in eliciting acute symptoms. Monitoring of airborne biological particles is usually by particle impaction and microscopic examination. Centrally located monitoring stations give regional-scale measurements for aeroallergen levels. Evidence for the role of outdoor allergens in allergic rhinitis is strong and is rapidly increasing for a role in asthma. Pollen and fungal spore exposures have both been implicated in acute exacerbations of asthma, and sensitivity to some fungal spores predicts the existence of asthma. Synergism and/or antagonism probably occurs with other outdoor air particles and gases. Control involves avoidance of exposure (staying indoors, preventing entry of outdoor aerosols) as well as immunotherapy, which is effective for pollen but of limited effect for spores. Outdoor allergens have been the subject of only limited studies with respect to the epidemiology of asthma. Much remains to be studied with respect to prevalence patterns, exposure and disease relationships, and control.

In infancy and childhood, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is associated with measures of decreased flow in the airways, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and increased respiratory infections, but the relationship between ETS and allergy is poorly understood. Indoor allergens from dust mite, cockroach, and cat can be associated with asthma exacerbation in children sensitized to the specific allergens. The precise role of either ETS or indoor allergens in the development of asthma is less well understood. The strong and consistent association between ETS and asthma development in young children may relate to both prenatal and postnatal influences on airway caliber or bronchial responsiveness. Dust mite allergen levels predict asthma in children sensitized to dust mite. The tendency to develop specific IgE antibodies to allergens (sensitization) is associated with and may be preceded by the development of a T-helper (Th)2 profile of cytokine release. The importance of either ETS or indoor allergens in the differentiation of T cells into a Th2-type profile of cytokine release or in the localization of immediate-type allergic responses to the lung is unknown. This article evaluates the strength of the evidence that ETS or indoor allergens influence asthma exacerbation and asthma development in children. We also selectively review data for the effectiveness of allergen reduction in reducing asthma symptoms and present a potential research agenda regarding these two broad areas of environmental exposure and their relationship to childhood asthma.

This review presents characteristics of simple and complicated coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) as well as pathologic indices of acute and chronic silicosis by summarizing results of in vitro, animal, and human investigations. These results support four basic mechanisms in the etiology of CWP and silicosis: a) direct cytotoxicity of coal dust or silica, resulting in lung cell damage, release of lipases and proteases, and eventual lung scarring; b) activation of oxidant production by pulmonary phagocytes, which overwhelms the antioxidant defenses and leads to lipid peroxidation, protein nitrosation, cell injury, and lung scarring; c) activation of mediator release from alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells, which leads to recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages, resulting in the production of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive species and in further lung injury and scarring; d) secretion of growth factors from alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and eventual scarring. Results of in vitro and animal studies provide a basis for proposing these mechanisms for the initiation and progression of pneumoconiosis. Data obtained from exposed workers lend support to these mechanisms.

Generally, the gravitational networks are designed as branched systems and in order to maintain their looped configuration the missing links are joined by pipes of nominal diameters. This approach does not take full advantage of looped configuration for economy and reliability. Presented herein is an algorithm for the design of a gravity flow distribution system with looped configuration and multiple input points. A linear programming (LP) technique has been used to solve the discrete problem for the optimal pipe design, keeping the looped configuration intact. Also developed is a criterion for the choice between the pumping and gravity systems where the elevation difference is marginal. It is hoped that the algorithm will be useful to engineers engaged in the design of gravity flow water distribution networks.

H. pylori may have a defense system against the antimicrobial actions of phagocytes. We studied the defense mechanism of H. pylori against host-derived peroxynitrite (ONOO super(-)), a bactericidal metabolite of nitric oxide, focusing on the role of H. pylori urease, which produces CO sub(2) and NH sub(3) from urea and is known to be an essential factor for colonization. The viability of H. pylori decreased in a time-dependent manner with continuous exposure to 1 mu M ONOO super(-), i.e., 0.2% of the initial bacteria remained after a 5-min treatment without urea. The bactericidal action of ONOO super(-) against H. pylori was significantly attenuated by the addition of 10 mM urea, the substrate for urease, whereas ONOO super(-)-induced killing of a urease-deficient mutant of H. pylori or Campylobacter jejuni, another microaerophilic bacterium lacking urease, was not affected by the addition of urea. Such a protective effect of urea was potentiated by supplementation with exogenous urease, and it was almost completely nullified by 10 mu M flurofamide, a specific inhibitor of urease. The bactericidal action of ONOO super(-) was also suppressed by the addition of 20 mM NaHCO sub(3) but not by the addition of 20 mM NH sub(3). In addition, the nitration of L-tyrosine of H. pylori after treatment with ONOO super(-) was significantly reduced by the addition of urea or NaHCO sub(3), as assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. These results suggest that H. pylori-associated urease functions to produce a potent ONOO super(-) scavenger, CO sub(2)/HCO sub(3) super(-), that defends the bacteria from ONOO super(-) cytotoxicity. The protective effect of urease may thus facilitate sustained bacterial colonization in the infected gastric mucosa.

The propagation of this filamentous phage can result in the origination of new toxigenic strains. To understand the nature of possible environmental factors associated with the propagation of CTX Phi , we examined the effects of temperature, pH, salinity, and exposure to direct sunlight on the induction of the CTX prophage and studied the transmission of the phage to potential recipient strains. Exposure of cultures of CTX Phi lysogens to direct sunlight resulted in similar to 10,000-fold increases in phage titers. Variation in temperature, pH, or salinity of the culture did not have a substantial effect on the induction of the prophage, but these factors influenced the stability of CTX Phi particles. Exposure of mixed cultures of CTX Phi lysogens and potential recipient strains to sunlight significantly increased both the in vitro and in vivo (in rabbit ileal loops) transduction of the recipient strains by CTX Phi . Included in these transduction experiments were two environmental nontoxigenic (CTX Phi super(-)) strains of V. cholerae O139. These two O139 strains were transduced at high efficiency by CTX Phi , and the phage genome integrated into the O139 host chromosome. The resulting CTX Phi lysogens produced biologically active CT both in vitro and in rabbit ileal loops. This finding suggests a possible mechanism explaining the origination of toxigenic V. cholerae O139 strains from nontoxigenic progenitors. This study indicates that sunlight is a significant inducer of the CTX prophage and suggests that sunlight-induced transmission of CTX Phi may constitute part of a natural mechanism for the origination of new toxigenic strains of V. cholerae.

Some species described from market specimens have never been observed in the wild, e.g., Cuora mccordi, C. zhoui, and Ocadia glyphistoma, and therefore little is known about their habitat and behavior. Similarly, there are many unknowns when describing the dynamics of turtle trade.

To examine the inconsistency of the results, an integrated data base containing relevant heart rate variability information on 172 volunteers was used. The inconsistency was ultimately attributed to measurement drift or instability over time, inadequate statistical power or failure to maintain double-blind controls, differences in field intensity or exposure pattern, or the inclusion of individuals sensitive to magnetic field exposure in some studies but not in others. The findings suggested that magnetic field exposure effects on heart rate variability may occur most readily when accompanied by some form of concomitant increase in physiologic arousal, in persons with high chronic stress levels, or in individuals with significant sleep problems.

A synthetic soil matrix was used to reflect attributes of soils at Superfund sites, and temperatures ranging 2501000 degree C were used. Results showed that only treatment at 750 degree C cleaned the soil of pyrene and of other dichloromethane extractables. Heating the soil at 1000 degree C removed all pyrene, but recontaminated the soil with non-PAH dichloromethane extractables. Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene was generated at 750 degree C, and benzo[a]pyrene was generated at 1000 degree C. Plausible pathways for pyrene conversion to higher-molecular-weight PAHs are proposed, which show that byproducts of environmental health interest can be generated during the thermal treatment of soil contaminated with a nonmutagen.

AN - 14564053; 10593634 AB - Soy-based diets are high in genistein, which has been studied widely for its potential anticancer properties. The phytoestrogen has been found to be a specific and potent inhibitor of both protein tyrosine kinases and topoisomerase II, and has been able to inhibit angiogenesis and metastasis in some animal models. The estrogenic effects of genistein are elucidated and discussed, citing recent data from the literature, and the possible antiestrogenic effects of genistein are examined, along with the genistein and nonestrogenic pathways of action, and the timing of genistein exposure and mammary tumorigenesis. The data suggest that genistein can act as both an estrogen and an antiproliferative agent, but that the effects may be both dose- and tissue-dependent.

The three areas exhibit different pollution mixes and climatic conditions. Daily counts of total mortality were collected from data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics over a 9-yr period. The mortality and air-pollution data were analyzed using Poisson regression, allowing for overdispersion in a generalized additive model. The results revealed heterogeneity in the association of individual components of air pollution with each of the mortality endpoints. The most consistent finding was than some index of air pollution was associated with each of the endpoints, although the associations with cerebrovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were weak except in Los Angeles County.

The compounds of interest included commercial formulations of: cypermethrin, permethrin, fluazifop-p-butyl, paraquat, glyphosate, dicamba, fluometuron, metolachlor, and alpha - and gamma -hexachlorocyclohexane. Results showed that Roundup, which contains glyphosate, decreased steroidogenesis by disrupting steroidogenic acute regulatory protein expression post-transcriptionally. Although Roundup decreased steroidogenesis, however, glyphosate did not alter steroid production.

Exposure was assessed from repeated measurements of the analytes in drinking-water samples collected from each member of the study population. The results showed that the metal concentrations in the water samples collected from most participants were within the ranges reported nationwide, but a temporal component was observed: mean log-transformed concentrations of As and Pb in the drinking-water samples and exposure to As and Pb varied significantly across sampling cycles. The results suggested that the timing of data should be considered in exposure and risk assessment.

Data gleaned from the literature are cited in a review of these operations and their related occupational and community health effects. The generated air hazards include gases and vapors, organically derived aerosols, and bioaerosols, while waste-associated contaminants include infectious agents, antimicrobial resistance, and nutrients. The infectious agents of note include Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella species, Leptospira species, Brucella suis, S. suis, influenza, hepatitis E virus, and Cryptosporidium parvum. The potential routes and effects of community exposure to swine concentrated animal feeding operation hazards are outlined, and current evidence of these effects are noted from occupational and community-based studies.

In addition to clean air and gasoline, subjects were exposed to 15 and 11% MTBE, respectively, in gasoline in a controlled environment. Blood levels of MTBE and tertiary butyl alcohol were determined pre- and post-exposure. Symptoms, odor intensity, and irritation were ascertained via questionnaires, and a neurobehavioral test was given. The psychophysiologic measures examined are described. Results showed that exposure to gasoline with 15% MTBE caused significantly more symptoms among sensitive individuals relative to controls than did exposure to clean air or to gasoline with 11% MTBE. Interestingly, the sensitive individuals reported more symptoms at baseline independent of exposure conditions. Despite the responses to the gasoline containing 15% MTBE, the sensitive subjects did not show any concomitant decrements in simulated driving performance tests, nor did they manifest any significant psychophysiologic responses with exposure.

Data are presented on exposure to carcinogens in outdoor air, including polycyclic aromatic mater, particulates, diesel exhaust, 1,3-butadiene, and aldehydes. Migrant studies and urbanrural comparisons, population-based studies, and casecontrol and cohort studies of lung cancer occurrence are cited, as are studies of the relative frequency of biologic air pollution exposure and genetic damage. Several specific areas for future research are proposed: identification of the pollutants and pollution sources associated with increased occurrence of lung cancer; investigation of the etiologic mechanisms that underly air pollution's role in lung cancer occurrence, including its role in the association of lung cancer with pre-existing respiratory disease; measurement of the interaction of ambient air pollution with other known or suspected causes of lung cancer; and studies of the contribution of ambient air pollution to lung cancer occurrence in less-development countries undergoing rapid urbanization.

These dusts originate predominantly from the soil and tend to result in nonallergic reactions in the lung. The highest dust exposures occur during soil preparation activities, so differences in equipment, task, and climate become important. The diseases due predominantly to mineral dust exposure are described, including acute and chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive airways disease, and interstitial lung disease.

AN - 14552739; 10591462 AB - The epidemiology of the health effects of fine particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m in diameter is summarized briefly, and a discussion is presented of the early but incomplete contribution of epidemiology to evaluating the biological mechanisms. Acute exposure studies have indicated that short-term exposures to elevated particulate air pollution are associated with short-term changes in cardio-pulmonary health, and chronic exposure studies have elucidated adverse effects on mortality rates, survival and life expectancy, and respiratory disease and symptoms. Recent epidemiologic studies are summarized that have examined lung function, hypoxemia, plasma viscosity, heart rate variability, and pulmonary inflammation caused by exposure to particulate matter. Populations at risk from both short-term acute and long-term chronic exposure to fine particulate matter are identified.

These include cohort study designs and casecontrol study designs. More emphasis is placed here on casecontrol designs, as these appear to be particularly relevant for occupational and environmental epidemiologic studies. In this area, risk set sampling and the nested casecontrol design, staged sample casecontrol studies, and single-case designs are outlined and discussed.

At present, the real causes of the increase are not clear. Case-control, population-based, and prospective studies, as well as studies on immune response, are cited in an assessment of bronchiolitis and respiratory syncital virus in young children, allergic asthma among school-age children, the relevance of exposure early in life, and doseresponse for dust mite and other allergens. The studies suggest that the increase in asthma is probably not related to an increase in exposure to allergens or to progressive changes in immune response. Aspects of lifestyle that have changed and could be relevant to the rise in asthma include antibiotic use, diet, immunization, changes in housing, and the decline in physical activity with the associated rise in obesity.

Sediment samples from two near-adjacent sites, but with different sediment types and depths, were analyzed for total organic matter, lipids (fatty acids and sterols), %C, delta super(13)C, %N, delta super(15)N, and redox potential during a 12-month fallowing period. Additionally, representative samples of fish food and fish faeces were analyzed. It was found that most of the accumulation of organic matter was confined to an area directly underneath the fish cages, but at 30 m from the center of the cage, indicators of fish cage waste (faeces and fish food) were still elevated compared with reference sites. As both fish food and faeces have distinctive fatty acid profiles, the relative proportion of food and/or faeces deposited on the sediment could be determined. After 12 months fallowing, fish-farm-derived organic matter in surface sediment at the center of the cage remained greater than at 30 m distance, even though redox potentials indicated that normal oxic conditions had returned.

Bluggoe). Promoter activity associated with the BBTV-derived promoters was transgene dependent with greatest activity observed using the GFP reporter. The BBTV promoters (BT1 to BT5) directed expression primarily in vascular-associated cells, although levels of activity varied between individual promoters. Promoters BT4 and BT5 directed the highest levels of GFP expression, while activity from BT1, BT2 and BT3 promoters was considerably weaker. Intron-mediated enhancement, using the maize polyubiquitin 1 (ubi1) intron, generated a significant increase in GUS expression directed by the BBTV promoters in transgenic plants.

AN - 71214816; 10869692 AB - A stepwise approach was used to develop a supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method for analysis of synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) on a wool matrix, commencing with a simple inert matrix to examine the solubility of the pyrethroids in the extraction fluid CO(2) and then extended to the real wool matrix. Chemometric approaches were used to determine the SFE optimum conditions. It was found that pyrethroids were readily extractable from an inert matrix over a wide range of pressure (170-350 atm) and at low temperature (<90 degrees C). Subambient hexane efficiently trapped the compounds from the depressurised fluid. Excessively high pressure and temperature resulted in poor trapping, isomerisation and possibly degradation of some components. With spiked wool samples method modifications focused on reducing the coextraction of grease, a bulk matrix component of raw wool. By using alumina (containing 8% moisture) and operating the extraction at 50 degrees C, 200 atm for 60 min, sufficiently clean extracts of pyrethroids suitable for gas chromatography-electron-capture detection analysis were obtained. The recoveries of all SPs were satisfactory (78-101%) over the range of 0.5-5 microg/g levels of these compounds. The precision of the entire analysis procedure was comparable to the conventional Soxhlet extraction method. Detection limits of some commonly used SPs for sheep treatment were also evaluated. Comparable results relative to those achieved by solvent extraction for incurred wool samples were obtained with a recovery of 81-85%. The results, however, suffered high uncertainties (R.S.D. approximately 19-24%) due to the small amount of wool sample taken in each extraction and the suspected inhomogeneity of the wool. Different persistences of cypermethrin isomers in wool were observed.

After the comprehensive study of the factors contributing to the spread of HIV infection in groups of risk the realistic evaluation of the epidemiological danger could be made and the preventive work could be carried out with the help of collaboration between a non-governmental organization (NGO) and the UN Theme Group on the Problems of HIV/AIDS. The successful work of the Public Congress "Stalist" one of such NGO, in Vinnitsa in 1998-1999, carried out with the financial and methodological support of UNAIDS in the Ukraine, created conditions for the introduction of such components of the strategy of harm reduction as information and educational work, as well as the exchange of syringes and needles, which showed a high degree of efficiency in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS.

AN - 72269287; 10997805 AB - GI147211 is a water-soluble synthetic analogue of camptothecin showing promising in vivo and in vitro antitumor activity and an acceptable toxicity profile. Between April 1995 and November 1996, 67 eligible patients with pretreated breast cancer (25 patients) and chemo-naïve colorectal (19 patients) and non-small-cell lung cancer (23 patients) were entered into three multicentric, non-randomized phase II trials. Treatment schedule consisted of intravenous GI1147211 administered at a dose of 1.2 mg/m2/day for five consecutive days every three weeks. Hematological toxicity was common with grade 3-4 neutropenia in 54% of patients and neutropenic fever together or not associated with infection in 14.5% of patients. Grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia and grade 2-4 anemia were observed in 20% and in 68% of patients, respectively. Non-hematological toxicity was generally mild to moderate and consisted mainly of gastrointestinal toxicity, asthenia and alopecia. A dose-escalation to 1.5 mg/m2/d was feasible in 17 (25%) patients. The antitumor activity of GI1147211 was moderate in breast cancer patients (3 partial responses (PRs), response rate (RR) 13%) and minimal in non-small cell lung cancer patients (2 PRs, RR 9%). No objective responses were obtained in colorectal patients. GI147211, at the dose and schedule employed in this study, showed an acceptable safety profile but a modest antitumor activity in the examined tumor types.

AN - 71193949; 10861038 AB - We investigated changes in voltage-gated Na+ currents and effects of extracellular Na+ on proliferation in HLA-DR-restricted human CD4+ alphabeta T cells after stimulation with a non-self antigenic peptide, M12p54-68. In the absence of antigenic peptide, neither single (n = 80) nor APC-contacted (n = 71) T cells showed voltage-gated inward currents recording with whole-cell patch-clamp techniques, even with Ca2+ and Na+ ions present in the perfusion solution. However, with the same recording conditions, 31% (26 of 84) of APC-contacted T cells stimulated with the antigenic peptide showed voltage-dependent inward currents that were elicited from -60 mV. The inward currents were not inhibited in extracellular Ca2+-free conditions or in the presence of 1 mM NiCl2. However, they were completely inhibited in extracellular Na+-free conditions, which were made by replacing Na+ with iso-osmotic N-methyl-d -glucamine or choline. The Na+ currents were insensitive to tetrodotoxin, a classical blocker of Na+ channels, but were dose-dependently inhibited by amiloride, a potassium-sparing pyrazine diuretic. Furthermore, the Ag-specific proliferative response of T cells was completely inhibited in Na+-free Tyrode's solution and was suppressed by amiloride in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that activation of amiloride-sensitive and voltage-gated Na+ channels would be an important step to allow an adequate influx of Na+ and maintain a sustained high Ca2+ level during T cell activation.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62341528; ED443542 AB - Prompted by widely held concerns about middle schools' academic rigor and the effectiveness of activities designed to help early adolescents develop in non-academic realms, many middle school educators have renewed efforts to develop curricula and instructional strategies that challenge students academically and expand their intellectual interests, to ensure that teachers receive appropriate training to meet student needs, and to create more nurturing and supportive environments. This report uses data from the Schools and Staffing Survey and the accompanying Teacher Follow-Up Survey to describe various aspects of middle schools, examine how they have changed over time, and compare middle schools with elementary and secondary schools. Following an introduction exploring policy issues related to middle schools, the report examines data in the areas of: (1) organization of schooling, including locations, size and other characteristics, and classroom organization and class size; (2) programs and services, including health-related services; (3) decision making and management, including site-based decision making and principals' and teachers' perceptions of their influence; (4) staffing, including qualifications, teacher workload, and staff turnover; and (5) school climate, including teacher satisfaction, and teachers' and administrators' ratings of problems at their schools. The concluding section of the report explores areas for future research. Tables and notes are appended. (Contains 66 references.) (HTH) AU - Alt, Martha Naomi AU - Choy, Susan P.

AN - 62338840; ED443541 AB - Public education begins with kindergarten for most children, but an estimated 1 million prekindergarten children are also in public schools, and the number is increasing. In December 1997, the National Institute on Early Childhood Development and Education in the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement convened a group of national, state, and community early childhood and education leaders to discuss the interrelationship between preschool and public education. Meeting participants unanimously agreed on the need to move from the current state of fragmented programs to a coordinated preschool care and education system that is linked with the public school system. Based on discussions at that meeting and on recent related data and research, this publication is intended to provide schools, families, and communities with information and ideas about public school prekindergarten and other preschool care and education initiatives that are linked with public schools. The publication offers insights from meeting participants about public school involvement in early childhood, and provides examples of how states and communities are designing programs to expand and improve preschool care and education. Following an introduction and background information on the meeting, the publication explores the following questions pursued at the meeting: (1) "Why Should Schools Be Involved in Early Childhood?"; (2) "What Roles Should Schools Play in Early Childhood?"; (3) "What Facilitates School Involvement in Early Childhood?"; (4) "What Challenges Do Public Schools Face with Involvement in Early Childhood?"; (5) "What Are the Key Issues for Professional Development?"; and (6) "What Are the Key Research and Evaluation Questions?" The publication concludes with a 52-item bibliography and lists of meeting participants and state early childhood education contacts.

We have developed a method, that we call `sister-scanning', for assessing phylogenetic and compositional signals in the various patterns of identity that occur between four nucleotide sequences. A Monte Carlo randomization is done for all columns (positions) within a window and Z-scores are obtained for four real sequences or three real sequences with an outlier that is also randomized. The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated using tobamovirus and luteovirus sequences. Contradictory phylogenetic signals were distinguished in both datasets, as were regions of sequence that contained no clear signal or potentially misleading signals related to compositional similarities. In the tobamovirus dataset, contradictory phylogenetic signals were separated by coding sequences up to a kilobase long that contained no clear signal. Our re-analysis of this dataset using sister-scanning also yielded the first evidence known to us of an inter-species recombination site within a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene together with evidence of an unusual pattern of conservation in the three codon positions.

AN - 17813978; 4856063 AB - Many plant species grow taller and have higher reproductive capacity where they are nonindigenous invaders than where they are native components of the flora. Traditionally, it has been accepted that this is a plastic response to a benign environment, though recently this assumption has been challenged and a genetic basis for increased plant size has been invoked. We tested the hypothesis that the increased size of certain weed species is genetically, rather than environmentally, based. A common environment growth experiment revealed no significant differences in the size of Carduus nutans, Digitalis purpurea, Echium vulgare or Senecio jacobaea sampled from alien (Australia and New Zealand) or native (Britain and continental Europe) habitats. We conclude that post-invasion genetic changes associated with increased size may be unusual and that the phenomenon, where it occurs, generally reflects a plastic response to a novel environment.

The lakes were situated in three broadly defined vegetation zones: (i) Boreal forest (between Whitehorse and Dawson City), (ii) alpine tundra (Ogilvie mountains north of Dawson City) and (iii) subarctic forest-tundra (near Inuvik). Lakes in the alpine tundra were characterised by lower conductivity, temperature, chlorophyll a and nutrients than those in the other two zones. Those in the forest-tundra were generally small and shallow, and had higher chlorophyll a concentrations than lakes further south. Lakes in forested catchments spanned a larger latitudinal range and exhibited a greater variety of physical and chemical characteristics. However, they were generally deeper, with higher conductivity, temperature and ionic concentrations. Forty-one zooplankton taxa were identified from the 30 lakes, of which the most frequently occurring were the rotifers Conochilus unicornis, Kellicottia longispina, Keratella cochlearis and Polyarthra vulgaris, the cladocerans Daphnia middendorffiana and Bosmina longirostris, and the copepods Leptodiaptomus pribilofensis, Heterocope septentrionalis and Cyclops spp. The lakes contained between two and fifteen species (mean = 6.9). Alpine tundra lakes contained slightly less species (mean = 5.8) than those at lower elevations; in particular the cladoceran fauna was depauperate or absent. Relationships among the lakes, species and environmental factors were examined using canonical correspondence analysis, with forward selection and associated Monte Carlo permutation tests. Chloride, silica and temperature showed statistically significant relationships with species distribution, and together these abiotic factors explained 25% of the variation in zooplankton communities within Yukon and Northwest Territories lakes.

The manufacture and application of chemicals, particularly in the agricultural environment, can be a health hazard. The key point for food safety, however, is ensuring that the level of a chemical in food consumed does not exceed the 'acceptable daily intake', a level derived from toxicological evaluation of the chemical by health authorities. Monitoring of chemical residues in food in Australia is described.

Fewer than 10% are everywhere-sparse. Here, two everywhere-sparse species from dry sclerophyll woodland were compared with phylogenetically contrasted somewhere-abundant species, at sites where both were at low abundance. In each pair, everywhere-sparse species produced approximately ten-fold fewer seeds per area of canopy cover than the somewhere-abundant species, consistently across replicate sites. Around individuals, a significantly larger proportion of the immediately colonizable neighbourhood was already occupied by the same species, for the everywhere-sparse compared to the somewhere-abundant species, in each pair and across replicate sites. Together, these differences amount to a much lower potential rate of increase in everywhere-sparse species compared with somewhere-abundant species, and are consistent with their having low capacity for opportunistic increase to high abundance. Our findings suggest novel differences between species that differ in local abundance patterns across geographical ranges, and provide a basis for further exploration of life-history and demographic differences between everywhere-sparse and somewhere-abundant species.

Among sophoradiol glycosides, the order of potency was kaikasaponins III>I>>sophoradiol monoglucuronide. It was suggested that the trisaccharide group showed greater action than the disaccharide group. Neither the monoglucuronide of sophoradiol nor that of soyasapogenol B showed activity. Among the trisaccharide group of soyasapogenol B, the order of activity was azukisaponin V>soyasaponin II>astragaloside VIII>>soyasaponin I. Therefore, the saponin having a glucosyl unit in the central sugar moiety seemed to show greater action. In comparison with the activities for a group having the same trisaccharide, the potency of the sapogenol moieties was found to be in the order of soyasapogenol E>sophoradiol>>soyasapogenol B. Hence, the carbonyl group at C-22 would be more effective than the hydroxyl group in anti-HSV-1 activity, while the hydroxyl group at C-24 could reduce the activity.

Upon uptake into macrophages, L. pneumophila establishes a replicative organelle that avoids fusion with endocytic vesicles. There are 24 dot/icm genes on the L. pneumophila chromosome required for biogenesis of this vacuole. Many of the Dot/Icm proteins are predicted to be components of a membrane-bound secretion apparatus similar to type IV conjugal transfer systems. We have been investigating the function of L. pneumophila dot/icm gene products that do not have obvious orthologs in other type IV transfer systems, since these determinants could govern processes unique to phagosome biogenesis. The icmX gene product falls into this category. To understand the role of the IcmX protein in pathogenesis, we have detailed interactions between an L. pneumophila icmX deletion mutant and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. These data demonstrate that icmX is required for biogenesis of the L. pneumophila replicative organelle. Immunoblot analysis indicates that the icmX gene product is a polypeptide with an estimated molecular mass of 50 kDa. The IcmX protein was localized to the bacterial periplasm, and periplasmic translocation was mediated by an N-terminal sec-dependent leader peptide. A truncated IcmX product was secreted into culture supernatants by wild-type L. pneumophila growing extracellularly in liquid media; however, transport of the IcmX protein into eukaryotic host cells was not detected. Proteins similar in molecular weight to IcmX were identified in other Legionella species by immunoblot analysis using a monoclonal antibody specific for L. pneumophila IcmX protein. From these data, we conclude that the IcmX protein is an essential component of the dot/icm secretion apparatus, and that a conserved mechanism of host cell parasitism exists for members of the Legionellaceae family.

Enrichment was obtained by using the insecticide as the sole source of sulfur. Chemical hydrolysis was minimized by using strongly buffered culture medium (pH 6.6), and the detergent Tween 80 was included to emulsify the insecticide, thereby increasing the amount of endosulfan in contact with the bacteria. No growth occurred in control cultures in the absence of endosulfan. Degradation of the insecticide occurred concomitant with bacterial growth. The compound was both oxidized and hydrolyzed. The oxidation reaction favored the alpha isomer and produced endosulfate, a terminal pathway product. Hydrolysis involved a novel intermediate, tentatively identified as endosulfan monoaldehyde on the basis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and chemical derivatization results. The accumulation and decline of metabolites suggest that the parent compound was hydrolyzed to the putative monoaldehyde, thereby releasing the sulfite moiety required for growth. The monoaldehyde was then oxidized to endosulfan hydroxyether and further metabolized to (a) polar product(s). The cytochrome P450 inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, did not prevent endosulfan oxidation or the formation of other metabolites. These results suggest that this mixed culture is worth investigating as a source of endosulfan-hydrolyzing enzymes for use in enzymatic bioremediation of endosulfan residues.

M. Kirov, L. A. O'Donovan, and K. Sanderson, Infect, Immun. 67:5447-5454, 1999), nothing is known regarding the function of a second family of Aeromonas type IV pili (designated Tap for type IV Aeromonas pilus), identified following the cloning of a pilus biogenesis gene cluster tapABCD. Related pilus gene clusters are widely conserved among gram-negative bacteria, but their significance for virulence has been controversial. To investigate the role of Tap pili in Aeromonas pathogenesis, mutants of Aeromonas strains (a fish isolate of A. hydrophila and a human dysenteric isolate of A. veronii bv. sobria) were prepared by insertional inactivation of the tapA gene which encodes the type IV pilus subunit protein, TapA. Exotoxic activities were unaffected by the mutation in tapA. Inactivation of tapA had no effect on the bacterial adherence of these two isolates to HEp-2 cells. For the A. veronii bv. sobria isolate, adhesion to Henle 407 intestinal cells and to human intestinal tissue was also unaffected. There was no significant effect on the duration of colonization or incidence of diarrhea when the A. veronii bv. sobria strain was tested in the removable intestinal tie adult rabbit diarrhea model or on its ability to colonize infant mice. Evidence was obtained that demonstrated that TapA was expressed by both Aeromonas species and was present on the cell surface, although if assembled into pili this pilus type appears to be an uncommon one under standard bacterial growth conditions. Further studies into factors which may influence Tap expression are required, but the present study suggests that Tap pili may not be as significant as Bfp pili for Aeromonas intestinal colonization.

The study covered the period 195096. Secondary vital statistics and environmental measurement data of As levels in the public water supples were used, and univariate statistics and graphical techniques were utilized to calculate and examine the time trends in infant mortality. The data suggested that As exposure may represent a greater risk for late fetal mortality and a lower, but still elevated, risk for neonatal and postneonatal mortality. In Antofagasta, the pattern of increase and subsequent decline in mortality rates exhibited a close temporal relationship with the rather sudden and sharp rise in the levels of As in the public water supply from 1958 until 1970, when an As-removal facility was installed.

Accumulation of other classic organochlorines was also assessed. Highest residue concentrations were found for PCBs, followed by DDTs, hexachlorocyclohexanes, chlordanes, hexachlorobenzene, TCPMe, and TCPMOH. Concentrations of TCPMe and TCPMOH ranged 2.521.0 and 0.118.0 ng/g, respectively. The TCPMe concentrations in human adipose tissues were higher than those reported in fish and comparable to those in larga seal, harbor porpoise, Dall's porpoise, and striped dolphin samples. In contrast, TCPMOH residue levels in humans were approximately ten times lower than those in most marine mammals examined. The overall data suggested possible widespread contamination by these compounds in the terrestrial environment.

The study found that 12% of the border population lacked access to potable water, and 30% lacked access to wastewater treatment. Continuing problems were also noted in terms of air pollution and solid- and hazardous-waste management. Many of the environmental problems are connected to the region's explosive population growth, and the greatest environmental challenges are posed by dwindling water resources. A host of adverse health conditions have been linked to the poor environmental conditions, including gastrointestinal infections, asthma, tuberculosis, multiple myeloma, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis A, pesticide poisoning, and elevated blood lead concentrations. An overview is presented of the environmental problems and related health effects. Since implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, Mexico and the US have spent approximately $3.1 billion to improve border conditions, but it is estimated that an additional $3.2 billion more will be required to meet existing needs for potable water, wastewater treatment, and solid-waste disposal.

Standardized mortality ratios were used to summarize the observed patterns of mortality, and a generalized linear model was used to interpret the findings. Results showed that, although the standardized mortality ratios displayed a large amount of noise, there appeared to be higher mortality ratios at the high-exposure levels compared to exposures in the lower range, especially for bladder and lung cancers. For males, the lung cancer risk tended to be slightly higher than the risk for bladder cancer. The results indicated that the exposureresponse assessment depended highly on the choice of the model used, as well as on whether or not a comparison population was used in the analysis.

Results showed that, for all cells treated with the high concentration of microcystic cyanobacterial extract, there was a significant leakage of lactate dehydrogenase, indicating cytotoxicity. With increasing doses of microcystin cyanobacterial extract, there was an increase of intracellular reduced glutathione, but at the high dose, a biphasic response was observed. Soon after treatment, the hepatocytes exhibited characteristic alterations in cytoskeletal morphology caused by the disappearance of regular filamentous structure, and after prolonged treatment, severe reorganization of microtubules and aggregation of microfilaments were observed. Treatment with the reduced glutathione precursor and inhibitor showed that intracellular reduced glutathione protected the cells against microcystic cyanobacterial extract-induced cytotoxic effects.

Exposure of shrimp to pyrene at concentrations of 0, 10, 25, and 100 ppb occurred over a period of six weeks. Results showed that molting was affected only in males exposed to the highest pyrene concentration, with those males having fewer molts during the exposure period. Time until successful mating was delayed significantly in males, but not in females. Females were able to reproduce at normal levels even after exposure to the highest dose, but there was a significant increase in embryo mortality when the highest-dose females were mated with both control and exposed males. At the highest exposure, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity was elevated significantly in males, while in females, the percent of protein as vitellin was elevated significantly.

Results showed that the hexachlorobenzene concentration in feces was associated strongly with the concentration in serum, which suggested that only a small amount of the chemical found in feces was nonabsorbed intestinal hexachlorobenzene. This association between hexachlorobenzene in blood and feces was stronger in males than in females. Pentachlorophenol was detectable in only 51% of the feces samples, and pentachlorobenzenethiol was detected in 54% of the samples.

Blood samples were collected from 13 male and 17 female Inuit and from matched controls in southern Quebec, and PCB concentrations were determined along with concentrations of hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs). Other chlorinated phenolic compounds were also analyzed. Pentachlorophenol was the main chlorinated phenolic compound in the Inuit blood samples. The major OH-PCB in 21 of the 30 samples was 4-OH-CB109, and the main metabolite in the remaining subjects was 4-OH-CB187. Total quantitated OH-PCBs in the Inuit samples ranged 0.11711.6 ng/g, which was up to 70 times that of the southern Quebec population.

The various complementary assays used are detailed. All four compounds exhibited estrogenic activity as determined by both yeast and MCF-7 cells, but none of the compounds was able to induce estrogen receptor/steroid receptor coactivator-1 interactions. However, the compounds were able to inhibit 17 beta -estradiol binding to human estrogen receptor alpha , indicating a direct interaction with the receptor.

Questionnaires were used to ascertain dietary habits. Results showed that four of six men with more than 20 yr of exposure to As had typical skin effects in the form of As-induced skin lesions. No lesions were found in women, but 11% of the girls and 7% of the boys examined exhibited skin pigmentation changes. The families from Chiu Chiu reported good nutritional habits. These findings were similar to those from studies in Taiwan and West Bengal, where malnutrition had been thought to contribute to the prevalence of As-induced skin lesions.

The amount of PM sub(10) collected at the industrialized site was 34% higher than that obtained at the reference site. At both sites, the highest amount of airborne PM was noted during the summer season. During the summer, the PM sub(10) concentration at both sites did not exceed the maximum daily permissible limit, but the concentration of PM sub(100) at the industrialized site exceeded the maximum concentration of 150 mu g/m super(3). The cytotoxicity of organic compounds extracted from PM was higher in the nonpolar extract component. An increase in toxicity was associated with increased polarity of extract constituents for PM sub(100), while for PM sub(10), extracts were more toxic as polarity decreased.

The same dose levels were used for the two agents for each of the test protocols. Results showed that the uterotrophic activity of a fixed dose level of coumestrol was similar across all three protocols, whereas that of a fixed dose level of estradiol benzoate was reduced in the mature animals. Coumetrol exposure led to a significant increase in the labeling index of the uterine epithelium and the glands and stroma of the endometrium in all three groups of females. Overall, uterotrophic, hypertrophic, and uterine hyperplasia effects were similar for the two chemicals.

Data for the assessment were generated from a review of environmental and health information generated first at the local level and subsequently at the regional and national levels. The analysis shows that the Russian Federation maintains an extensive standardized nationwide organization that routinely collects health data in polyclinics and hospitals, but problems in data quality abound. This is due, in large part, to the aggregation and transformation of the data.

The syndrome occurs when the hemoglobin in an infant's red blood cells is oxidized to methemoglobin. One case involved a six-month-old white male, and the second involved a three-week-old white female. In both cases, NO sub(3)nitrogen levels in the water supplies ranged 22.927.4 mg/l, and well water had been used to dilute formula concentrates. In the first case, the health of the infant improved spontaneously after he was switched to bottled water, and in the second, the infant responded rapidly to treatment with methylene blue, oral bicarbonate, and intravenous fluids.

In addition, soil and drinking-water samples were collected and analyzed, and blood Pb levels were determined. The study focused on children in Head Start programs, due to the age of the children. Three surface-sampling protocols were used: only inaccessible surfaces, accessible surfaces, and hand wipes of the children. The results showed that schoolyard soil and inaccessible-surface dust were significant potential sources of Pb, while the distribution of Pb on accessible surfaces was uniformly low, which was also found for children's palms. Despite high Pb levels on some inaccessible surfaces and in outdoor soils, most of the children exhibited no elevation of blood Pb concentration after six months of exposure.

Extensive data gleaned from the literature are cited in a review of vinyl chloride environmental contamination and remediation, general population exposure, and occupational exposure levels. Epidemiologic studies on vinyl chloride/PVC workers have shown clear correlations between angiosarcoma of the liver and exposure to vinyl chloride. Vinyl chloride has also been implicated in the initiation of hepatocarcinogenesis. Risk assessments based on human epidemiologic data and on animals studies are provided, and a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model used to predict the total production of reactive metabolites from vinyl chloride in animal bioassays and in human exposure scenarios is outlined.

Histamine is the main toxin involved in HFP, but the disease is not uncomplicated histamine poisoning. Although it is generally associated with high levels of histamine ( greater than or equal to 50 mg/100 g) in bacterially contaminated fish of particular species, the pathogenesis of HFP has not been clearly elucidated. Various hypotheses have been put forward to explain why histamine consumed in spoiled fish is more toxic than pure histamine taken orally, but none has proved totally satisfactory. Urocanic acid, like histamine, an imidazole compound derived from histidine in spoiling fish, may be the "missing factor" in HFP. cis-Urocanic acid has recently been recognised as a mast cell degranulator, and endogenous histamine from mast cell degranulation may augment the exogenous histamine consumed in spoiled fish. HFP is a mild disease, but is important in relation to food safety and international trade. Consumers are becoming more demanding, and litigation following food poisoning incidents is becoming more common. Producers, distributors and restaurants are increasingly held liable for the quality of the products they handle and sell. Many countries have set guidelines for maximum permitted levels of histamine in fish. However, histamine concentrations within a spoiled fish are extremely variable, as is the threshold toxic dose. Until the identity, levels and potency of possible potentiators and/or mast-cell-degranulating factors are elucidated, it is difficult to establish regulatory limits for histamine in foods on the basis of potential health hazard. Histidine decarboxylating bacteria produce histamine from free histidine in spoiling fish. Although some are present in the normal microbial flora of live fish, most seem to be derived from post-catching contamination on board fishing vessels, at the processing plant or in the distribution system, or in restaurants or homes. The key to keeping bacterial numbers and histamine levels low is the rapid cooling of fish after catching and the maintenance of adequate refrigeration during handling and storage. Despite the huge expansion in trade in recent years, great progress has been made in ensuring the quality and safety of fish products. This is largely the result of the introduction of international standards of food hygiene and the application of risk analysis and hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) principles.

Fish kills, probably the most recognized indicator of these and other water quality problems, have significantly increased in recent years in many Southeastern United States estuaries. While entire aquatic communities are impacted by changes in available oxygen, estuarine organisms serve as appropriate indicators of these changes as they exhibit complex physiological and behavioral responses to hypoxia. The consequences of hypoxia for these species depend on their ability to detect and avoid areas of low dissolved oxygen. We conducted a series of two-way, replicated choice experiments with juvenile spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), white mullet (Mugil curema), mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), and brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) to determine their ability to detect and avoid specific levels of hypoxia. Additional data on organisms' movement patterns, aquatic surface respiration, and ventilation rates were collected. All species tested could detect and avoid 1 mg l super(-1) dissolved oxygen. The hypoxia avoidance response differed among species, as some species exhibited an avoidance threshold while others exhibited a graded avoidance response. These data supply baseline information necessary to assess how some mobile estuarine organisms respond behaviorally to oxygen concentrations, and to understand how hypoxia more broadly impacts fish populations and estuarine community health.

Hearing before the Committee on the Judiciary on H.R. 3575. House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62323873; ED451808 AB - This hearing was held to consider the Student Athlete Protection Act (H.R. 3575), a bill to prohibit high school and college sports gambling in all states including states in which such gambling was permitted prior to 1991. In his introductory remarks, Congressman Henry J. Hyde (Illinois) noted that gambling on sporting events is still legal in only four states, and that only one state, Nevada, offers legalized gambling on amateur sports events. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) maintains a zero tolerance policy against sports gambling, but gambling on collegiate and other amateur sports events remains widespread. Speaking in support of the bill were Congressmen John Conyers (Michigan) and Lindsey O. Graham (South Carolina), along with basketball coach Tubby Smith, football coach Lou Holtz, and Graham Spanier, college president and NCAA representative. Also supporting the bill were the Commission of an athletic conference, James E. Delaney and Representatives Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas) and Maxine Waters (California). Speaking against the bill, and in favor of increased sanctions and enforcement by the NCAA were Representatives Shelly Berkley (Nevada) and Jim Gibbons (Nevada), Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., of the Nevada Gaming Association, Bobby Siller of the Nevada State Gaming Board, and Brian Sandoval of the Nevada State Gaming Commission. An appendix contains supplemental materials submitted in support of and against H. R. 3575. The prepared statements of the witnesses are included.

A case study of three contrasting species AN - 17610842; 4746344 AB - Vertical zonation of hard corals in tropical coral reef systems is a well documented and predictable pattern in the organisation of tropical coral communities. However, the mechanisms that underly vertical zonation of hard corals are poorly understood. Two alternative conceptual models for the maintenance of vertical zonation are considered; depth-dependent settlement of larvae, or indiscriminant settlement of larvae with distributions determined by differential post-settlement mortality with depth. These alternative models were evaluated by undertaking field translocation experiments using 10 d old juveniles of 3 species with contrasting adult distributions: Goniastrea aspera (Verrill)--restricted to shallow reef flat habitats; Oxypora lacera (Verrill)--restricted to low light, lower slope habitats; and Platygyra daedalea (Ellis and Solander)--a species with a broad depth range. Laboratory-raised larvae of each species were settled onto terracotta settlement plates and the plates translocated to 3 depths in the field: reef flat (0 m), mid slope (5 m), lower slope (10 m). Survival of the laboratory-settled juveniles was monitored at 3, 6 and 12 mo after settlement. For each of the 3 species, juveniles survived equally well at all 3 depths over the 12 mo study period. The pattern of survivorship of G. aspera and P. daedalea among depths, however, was dependent on plate surface (top, bottom). Given the absence of depth-dependent survival of juveniles from the 2 zone-specific species G. aspera and O. lacera, we reject the hypothesis that adult distribution patterns of these 2 species is determined by indiscriminant settlement of larvae followed by differential early post-settlement mortality with depth.

AN - 71193694; 10856180 AB - It is important to follow up on the health status of inhabitants living in the methyl mercury-polluted area surrounding Minamata City, paying particular attention to diseases not only of the central nervous system but also of other organs. We have been carrying out such concentric studies for more than 10 years. We have previously studied the cause-specific standard mortality ratios in Minamata disease patients and reported that the SMRs for liver disease and renal disease were significantly raised in male and female patients, respectively. It was also found that complications arising from diabetes could be due to the large number of old people among the autopsy cases. The next step was to clarify the actual prevalence and incidence of liver disease, renal disease, and diabetes mellitus epidemiologically among the population in this area. The aim of this study was to determine the actual prevalence of these diseases and complaints, and to investigate the contribution of various risk factors to these diseases in this area. The study was a population-based cross-sectional mass screening survey. A case-control study was designed to estimate the role of various risk factors including methyl mercury exposure for these diseases. A mass multiple health examination survey was performed in 1500 subjects aged 40 years and older in Tsunagi Town, neighboring Minamata City, every summer since 1984. Tsunagi Town is located in a methyl mercury-polluted area and there are 36.9 certified Minamata disease patients per 1000 population. Data concerning liver disease, renal disease, and diabetes mellitus were collected on the basis of urine, hematological, physical, and ultrasonographic examinations. Data on risk factors and subjective complaints were collected by interview and other measures. The prevalence of these diseases was not higher in this methyl mercury-polluted area compared with other areas in Japan, contrary to what was expected based on standard mortality ratios and pathological findings. There were no positive correlations between those diseases and methyl mercury exposure. On the other hand, the population in the polluted area had more and a greater variety of complaints than those in the nonpolluted area. It is possible that not only neurological subjective complaints but also nonspecific complaints of the population in the polluted area might be influenced by past methyl mercury exposure. This health surveillance in the population living in a methyl mercury-polluted area must be maintained in the future. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

AN - 71149416; 10831732 AB - Three green mills and two dry mills were studied for personal exposure to wood dust and biohazards associated with wood dust and their correlation to lung function and work-related symptoms among sawmill workers. The levels of exposure to endotoxin, (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan, bacteria and fungi were high in green mills compared with dry mills. Compared with dry mill workers, green mill workers had significantly high prevalence of regular cough, chronic bronchitis, regular blocked nose, regular sneezing, sinus problems, flu-like symptoms, and eye and throat irritation. Significant positive correlations were found among endotoxin and Gram (-)ve bacteria, (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan and fungi, and endotoxin and (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan exposure levels. Significant dose-response relationships were found for personal exposures and lung function, and lung function and work-related respiratory symptoms. The significant correlations found for respirable fractions show that not only inhalable but also respirable fractions are important in determining potential health effects of exposure to wood dust. The management and employees of the sawmilling industry should be educated on the potential health effects of wood dust. Wood dust should be controlled at the source.

AN - 71082797; 10781858 AB - We have compared the B cell responses evoked in Bangladeshi, adults (n=11, median age 25 years) and children (n=21, median age 4.5 years), 7 days after intake of each of two doses of an oral, inactivated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccine composed of formalin-killed ETEC strains expressing the colonization factors, CFA/I, CFA/II and CFA/IV together with 1 mg of recombinant cholera toxin B-subunit (rCTB). The vaccine was well tolerated and only gave rise to negligible side effects. Peak antibody-secreting cell (ASC) response of the IgA isotype were seen 7 days after the first dose of the vaccine. The ASC responses to the different colonization factors (CFs) increased from a 29- to 46-fold (responder frequency 90-100%) in the adults and 13- to 24-fold (responder frequency 67-90%) in the children. The IgA-ASC response to rCTB also peaked after the first dose in the adults (426-fold, responder frequency 100%) and the children (46-fold, responder frequency 95%). Increased IgA antibody levels against CFA/I as well as IgA and IgG antibody levels to rCTB were seen in plasma after immunisation. About 86% of the children and 80% of the adults responded with faecal antibodies to rCTB, whereas about 67% of both groups responded to CFA/I. These results show that a single dose of the ETEC vaccine may elicit significant mucosal immune responses in both children and adults residing in an ETEC-endemic country such as Bangladesh.

AN - 21267755; 11702233 AB - Neurotoxicology is a relatively young discipline that has undergone significant growth during the last 25 years. During the late 1970s and 1980s, numerous national and international conferences and meetings were devoted to the topic of neurotoxicology, the formation of societies or specialty sections related to neurotoxicology, and the establishment of two independent peer-reviewed journals devoted to neurotoxicology. This decade was also associated with a rapid increase in our knowledge of chemical effects on the structure and function of the nervous system. During the 1990s, regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accepted neurotoxicology as a crucial end point and neurotoxicity testing and risk assessment guidelines were published. Neurotoxicology has also been accepted at the international level as evidenced by environmental criteria documents published by the International Programme on Chemical Safety and testing guidelines by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. In recent years, there has been increased concern that the etiology of some neurodegenerative diseases may be associated with exposure to neurotoxic agents and that subpopulations of humans such as children and the elderly may be differentially sensitive to neurotoxic exposure. In the future, mechanistic information derived from basic research will be used in the identification and characterization of chemicals with neurotoxic potential.

AN - 21259153; 11702235 AB - There are numerous pesticides and toxic chemicals in the environment that have yet to be evaluated for potential to cause developmental neurotoxicity. Recent legislation and testing initiatives provide an impetus to generating more information about potential hazards to children. In the United States, the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to make a finding that a pesticide food use is safe for children. In addition, the law requires U.S. EPA to incorporate an additional 10-fold factor in risk assessments for pesticide residue tolerances to take into account the special sensitivities of infants and children as well as incomplete data with respect to toxicity and exposures. The potential of chemicals in food and drinking water to cause endocrine disruption will also be examined via the Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Program required by the FQPA and the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act. In addition, a new voluntary chemical information program will provide screening-level information for the some 2,800 high-volume chemicals in commerce in the United States. These initiatives will need to be accompanied by research focused on developmental toxicity for children, including developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities exact a large toll on children's health in the United States. Three major developmental disabilities--autism, cerebral palsy, and severe mental retardation--each affect substantial numbers of children. We know very little about the etiology of these conditions. A number of priority areas for research are suggested, including a large environmental prospective study of developmental neurotoxicity.

Support for the Rochester conference came from both public and private sources. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the EPA represented the federal government. The conference also received grants from several foundations: the Jennifer Altman Foundation, the Heinz Family Foundation, the National Alliance for Autism Research, the Violence Research Foundation, the Wacker Foundation, and the Winslow Foundation. The second of these conferences helped launch a new Center for Children's Health and the Environment at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. It was held in New York City on 24-25 May 1999, and was convened specifically to consider the intersection between neurodevelopmental impairment, environmental chemicals, and prevention. Over 300 health scientists, pediatricians, and public health professionals examined the growing body of evidence linking environmental toxins to neurobehavioral disorders. The conference title was Environmental Influences on Children: Brain, Development, and Behavior. The conference began by reviewing well-known examples of deleterious effects of environmental chemicals, including lead and PCBs, on children's brains. The conferees then considered the potential impact of environmental chemicals on neurological disorders with particular focus on ADHD, autism, and Parkinson's disease. The inclusion of Parkinson's disease was intended to signal the notion that exposures in early life may have an influence on the evolution of neurological disease in later life. Support for the Mount Sinai conference came from the Superfund Basic Research Program (NIEHS); The Pew Charitable Trusts; the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany School of Public Health; the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Research (ATSDR); the Ambulatory Pediatric Association; Myron A. Mehlman, PhD; the National Center for Environmental Assessment (EPA); the National Center for Environmental Health (CDC); the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; the Office of Children's Health Protection (EPA); Physicians for Social Responsibility; The New York Academy of Medicine; The New York Community Trust; and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. The impact of environmental toxins on children's health has become a topic of major concern in the federal government. Eight new research centers in children's environmental health have been established in the past 2 years with joint funding from EPA and NIEHS. Clinical units that specialize in the treatment of children with environmentally induced illness have been developed across the nation with grant support from ATSDR. The American Academy of Pediatrics has just published its (italic)Handbook of Pediatric Environmental Health (/italic)((italic)17(/italic)), the "Green Book," which is available to pediatricians throughout the Americas. Children's environmental health has climbed to a critical position as we launch the new millennium. This monograph marks a significant milestone in the evolution of this emerging discipline.

AN - 21251006; 11703791 AB - In humans, cancer may be caused by genetics and environmental exposures; however, in the majority of instances the identification of the critical time window of exposure is problematic. The evidence for exposures occurring during the preconceptional period that have an association with childhood or adulthood cancers is equivocal. Agents definitely related to cancer in children, and adulthood if exposure occurs in utero, include: maternal exposure to ionizing radiation during pregnancy and childhood leukemia and certain other cancers, and maternal use of diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy and clear-cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina of their daughters. The list of environmental exposures that occur during the perinatal/postnatal period with potential to increase the risk of cancer is lengthening, but evidence available to date is inconsistent and inconclusive. In animal models, preconceptional carcinogenesis has been demonstrated for a variety of types of radiation and chemicals, with demonstrated sensitivity for all stages from fetal gonocytes to postmeiotic germ cells. Transplacental and neonatal carcinogenesis show marked ontogenetic stage specificity in some cases. Mechanistic factors include the number of cells at risk, the rate of cell division, the development of differentiated characteristics including the ability to activate and detoxify carcinogens, the presence of stem cells, and possibly others.

Transgenic plants from two lines tested were resistant to first instars of chrysomelid beetles that are important pests of commercial Australian eucalypt plantations. Both lines also exhibit tolerance to the broad-spectrum herbicide Liberty registered at 6 l/ha (1.2 kg active ingredient per hectare), twice the field application rate. Transgenic insect- and herbicide-resistant eucalypts like these are likely to provide better insect and weed control options in plantations, particularly during the vulnerable establishment phase, provided that any adverse ecological impacts of releasing transgenic trees into the environment can be assessed and minimized.

Independent of site, season of burn or year of flowering, there was a strong relationship between plant height, which varied from 0.1 to over 2 m, and the incidence of postfire flowering, which varied from 1% (winter burn) to 75% (summer burn) of grasstrees present. There was no relationship between inflorescence dimensions, or flower or fruit production on a spike basis, and plant size/age (height). When standardized for height, spring-burnt populations produced 40% as many inflorescences as autumn-burnt populations and 20% as many as summer-burnt populations. Inflorescences produced by spring-burnt plants were moderately smaller than those by summer-autumn-burnt plants. Fruit density per spike in autumn-burnt plants was 80% of that in spring-summer-burnt plants. The net effect was an average of 70 000 fruits produced per 100 summer-burnt plants, 22 000 in autumn-burnt plants, and 14 000 in spring-burnt plants. Ecophysiological explanations of these results and their implications for population dynamics have yet to be explored.

It has also been identified as an important fungal allergen. Enolase from a number of medically important Candida species has been purified using a two-step anion- and cation-exchange chromatography method that was preceded by an organic extraction. The enolases purified by this method have a high specific activity and the procedure is 40% efficient, with an average of 5 mg of enolase/g of Candida cells. The purification of native enolase from medically important Candida species will enable the immunological significance and interspecies relationships of this major fungal antigen to be investigated.

The Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) guidelines for constructing such budgets concentrate on the simplest case where an estuary or embayment is treated as a single box which is well-mixed both vertically and horizontally and at steady-state. We show that these simplifying assumptions can lead to significant and sometimes very large errors in estimates of internal retention (or production) rates. If the load to an estuary varies significantly through the year, the use of time-averaged concentrations of nutrient and salinity to calculate retention rates is shown to cause errors of up to 30% depending on the circumstances. The second case considered examines the consequences of treating an estuary which has significant long-estuary salinity and nutrient gradients as a well-mixed box. In a simple case considered, the calculated internal production from a distributed source is underestimated by a factor of two. The errors are shown to depend on the estuary's mixing and geometrical characteristic as well as on the location of the nutrient source. The third case considers the errors in the calculated internal retention/production rates of treating an estuary with a two-layer circulation as a single-box system. The potential errors are severe. A comparison between a one-box analysis and a two-box analysis which accounts for the true estuarine circulation shows that the two analyses can yield calculated retention rates of opposite sign. In this situation, one configuration for the estuary would appear to sequester nutrient, whereas the other would be a net exporter of nutrient.

Induction of ENOD40 expression by either rhizobia or cytokinin was similar in timing and location and occurred in nodule progenitor cells in the inner cortex. Inoculation of rhizobia in the mature root failed to induce ENOD40 expression and cortical cell divisions (ccd). Nitrate addition at levels repressing nodule formation inhibited ENOD40 induction by rhizobia but not by cytokinin. ENOD40 expression was not induced by auxin, an auxin transport inhibitor, or an ethylene precursor. In contrast to rhizobia, cytokinin addition was not sufficient to induce a modulation of the auxin flow, the induction of specific chalcone synthase genes, and the accumulation of fluorescent compounds associated with nodule initiation. However, cytokinin addition was sufficient for the localized induction of auxin-induced GH3 gene expression and the initiation of ccd. Our results suggest that rhizobia induce cytokinin-mediated events in parallel to changes in auxin-related responses during nodule initiation and support a role of ENOD40 in regulating ccd. We propose a model for the interactions of cytokinin with auxin, ENOD40, flavonoids, and nitrate during nodulation.

The growth temperatures at the boundaries of the normal physiological range for growth were characterized by increased variability in fatty acid composition. Under hyper- and hypoosmotic stress conditions at an a sub(w) of 0.993 (1.0% [wt/vol] NaCl) and at an a sub(w) of 0.977 (4.0% [wt/vol] NaCl) the proportion of certain fatty acids (monounsaturated and branched-chain fatty acids) was highly regulated and was inversely related to the growth rate over the entire temperature range. The physical states of lipids extracted from samples grown at stressful a sub(w) values at the boundaries of the normal physiological range exhibited no abrupt gel-liquid phase transitions when the lipids were analyzed as liposomes. Lipid packing and adaptational fatty acid composition responses are clearly influenced by differences in the temperature-salinity regime, which are reflected in overall cell function characteristics, such as the growth rate and the normal physiological range for growth.

The model which is based on a second-order approximate Riemann solver with a van Leer type limiter is used to solve the shallow water wave equation on a Cartesian grid. The shallow water equations include source terms which account for resistance to the flow and the influence of the bed slope. The wetting and drying process is also considered. The model is verified by comparing the model output with documented results. Very good agreement has been achieved in the verification phase. A simple example of the collapse of a water supply reservoir in a narrow valley is used to demonstrate the capability of the model. The model is shown to be stable and robust. It is capable of resolving shocks, handling complex geometry, including the influence of steep bed slopes and simulating the wetting and drying process.

These hormones control neuronal and glial proliferation in definitive brain regions and regulate neuronal migration and differentiation. Disorders in thyroid hormone availability include endemic cretinism caused by iodine deficiency, congenital hypothyroidism, and resistance to thyroid hormones resulting from a point mutation of the gene producing the thyroid hormone, beta-receptor. Thyroid hormone deficiency during a critical developmental period can impair cellular migration and development of neuronal networks. Synaptogenesis and myelinogenesis are discussed, as are the sources of brain thyroid hormones, how thyroid hormones enter the brain, the development of thyroid hormone receptors, thyroid hormone action, and the effects of PCBs and organohalogens on thyroid function.

The processes that mediate immune responses to antigens are reviewed, and examples are provided of how such processes are altered by genetic defects and environmental and lifestyle influences that may support the development of atopic responses. Persons are considered to be atopic if they have one of a number of typical allergic clinical syndromes. Described are the atopic T helper-2 versus nonatopic T helper-1 immune responses, cytokine mediation of T helper-1 and T helper-2 responses by CD4 super(+) lymphocytes, and genes associated with atopy and asthma. Prenatal and preconceptional influences on atopy and asthma are also considered, as are postnatal influences and the development of atopy in children, and environmental influences in the development of atopy and asthma, particularly as they pertain to infections and antibodies in children, specific pollutants and their effects on T helper-2 inflammation, endotoxins, and ozone and other critical pollutants.

Here, selected examples are presented of research conducted on monkeys to examine the effects of developmental exposure to lead and PCBs. The deficits that have been observed share similarities with aspects of the behavioral deficits of ADHD. The data suggest that, while genetic and other environmental factors cannot be ruled out, developmental exposure to Pb and PCBs in these animals has resulted in an impaired ability to organize behavior temporally and the inability to learn from the consequences of previous actions, which are some of the features demonstrated by children with ADHD.

The available data in this area are reviewed here, focusing on the various types of preconceptional, prenatal, and postnatal developmental exposures and subsequent outcomes; the state-of-the-science information on critical windows of susceptibility; and the implications for risk assessment. To this end, background papers were prepared by expert groups summarizing current knowledge about critical windows for five topic areas: respiratory and immune systems; reproductive system; nervous system; cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and general growth; and cancer. The development of these background papers is outlined, and areas identified for future work are presented.

Environmental factors can cause developmental disabilities, but little research has been conducted in this field. The current state of environmental research in autism is outlined to illustrate the issues faced by those interested in pursuing the etiology of developmental brain disorders. Described are the interaction of genes and the environment as related to autism, the epidemiology and neurobiology of autism, autism as a birth defect, and the possible implication of retinoic acid as an environmental factor. The Brick Township, NJ, cluster is considered, which may be linked to three chemicals found at different times in the township's drinking water: tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and trihalomethanes, the most problematic being trihalomethanes.

The disruptive effects can take different routes according to the chemical and the time of exposure, but the degree to which the disruptive characteristics overlap within a given child remains unknown. The heterogeneity in human risk factors in urban and suburban environments is considered, as are other factors influencing growth and development, such as nutrition, sociocultural practices, and variations in child-rearing practices that influence developmental patterns. Approaches to children's environmental research in this regard are critiqued, noting the need for quick-response research programs and rapid assessments with chronic exposures.

The profiles of nervous-system development are characterized, and similarities and differences in windows of vulnerability to toxicant exposure between animals and humans are described. Regional development of the rodent and primate brain is detailed in terms of cell proliferation, migration of recently proliferated cells, differentiation of neuroblasts, synaptogenesis, gliogenesis and myelination, and apoptosis. Also described are neurotrophic signals, neurotransmitters as morphogenetic signals, and neuronal plasticity. Species difference are noted in relation to the use of standardized clinical tests for assessing the integrity of nervous-system function, neurological substrates of function, long-latency delayed neurotoxicity, antisocial behavior associated with early neurotoxic exposure, and the consequences of exposure to specific toxicants, including lead, maternal cigarette smoke, and ethanol.

The consequences of immunotoxicant exposure are then addressed. Organogenesis of the immune system occurs during the prenatal and, to a lesser extent, early postnatal periods of mammalian development. Specific chemical agents that have been shown to cause developmental immunotoxicity in rodents are identified and discussed, including: halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, steroid hormones, lead, and specific therapeutic agents. The literature data suggest that the production of long-term secondary immunodeficiency in adults requires either continued exposure to an inducing agent or damage to primitive hematopoietic cells. During immune-system development, however, low-level single-dose exposures to certain chemical agents can produce changes in the immune system that are long-lasting or permanent.

The preconceptional, prenatal, and postnatal periods are described for humans and animals, and health outcomes of exposure to specific chemicals are outlined for each of the three developmental periods. The data show many similarities regarding the major hallmarks of reproduction among most mammals examined, especially involving tissue architecture, homeostatic mechanisms, and specific gene expression in various tissues of the reproductive system. Two of the most striking differences between laboratory animals and humans involve the relatively poor quality of human spermatozoa and the high level of fetal loss exhibited by humans. The time allocated for the various phases of differentiation during embryonic and fetal life differs also between humans and animals.

Mutations in this gene can also occur, leading to a variable spectrum of neurological and behavioral phenotypes. While the enzyme deficit involved in this disease has been recognized, the relationship of the neurological and behavioral features of the condition remain elusive. Current research on this disease is outlined, which suggests decreased quantities and activities of a number of dopaminergic functions, implicating a deficiency in the dopamine transporter.

Specifically addressed is a pair of categorization issues involving the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure: the labeling of individuals as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) versus fetal alcohol effects (FAE) or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder, and the categorization of prenatal exposure dose by thresholds. Behavioral and neuropsychological performance comparisons are presented of FAS and FAE patients, and the use of doseresponse modeling and thresholds for prenatal alcohol exposure is examined. Analyses are proposed that are appropriate for a doseresponse model that posits a single factor, called latent brain damage, which underlies a wide range of child outcomes. This analysis entails a simultaneous nonlinear calibration of each of multiple measures of maternal alcohol consumption to form a composite measure of dose that best characterizes the prenatal alcohol exposure for the purposes of predicting a battery of child outcomes.

AN - 14549669; 10588977 AB - The presence of methylmercury (MeHg) in vivo inhibits microtubule formation and protein synthesis in nerve cells, alters neuronal membrane activity, and interferes with DNA synthesis. Several MeHg poisoning episodes have been recorded and monitored, most notably in Japan and Iraq. These episodes are described. Various public-health agencies have been instrumental in attempting to establish safe levels of MeHg exposure, but the results from studies on which these levels have been based have been contradictory. Several of these studies are noted, and important issues in this area that need addressing are elucidated, including the determination of MeHg exposure, the biochemical markers of brain exposure, the effects of different levels of dietary exposure, the importance of age differences, the extrapolation of animal studies to humans, and developmental outcomes in children after maternal exposure to MeHg.

An Update AN - 14545850; 10589285 AB - In wildlife and laboratory animals, adverse developmental and reproductive effects have been linked primarily to organochlorine compounds and alkylphenols derived from alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactants. The current data on the effects of endocrine disruptors in humans are surveyed, focusing on decreased male reproductive capacity in terms of sperm counts, the incidence of hypospadias and cryptorchidism, testicular cancer, and alterations in sex ratios and fertility. The relationships between PCB and DDE concentrations and breast cancer are also examined, as is the potential adverse role of endocrine disruptors in the diet during critical periods of development. The most recent data suggest no global decrease in male reproductive capacity and that an etiologic role for xenoestrogens in female breast cancer is unlikely.

The pregnant rats were treated with the compound on days 1416 of gestation. On postnatal day 89, male reproductive functions were not affected by 1,2,3,4,6,7-HxCN, but on postnatal day 62, the sperm count in the cauda epididymidis of exposed animals increased to approximately 180% of controls. In the exposed animals, the testis weight increased on postnatal days 31 and 48. The percentage of postmeiotic tubules increased to approximately 190% of the control value on postnatal day 31, and homogenization-resistant testicular spermatids increased to approximately 160% of the control value on postnatal day 48. The concentration of 1,2,3,4,6,7-HxCN in the fat of treated dams was 510 times higher than that found in human adipose tissue.

The serum concentration of CC16, therefore, is a sensitive marker to detect an increased permeability of the lung epithelial barrier, indicating lung injury. Results are presented from a study in which serum protein levels were examined in cyclists who exercised for 2 h during episodes of photochemical smog in Italy. Following exercise, the mean serum concentration of CC16 was increased significantly in both men and women. A significant correlation was found between ozone levels and post-ride concentrations of CC16 in serum.

This concept of early programming of adult diseases has been explored widely in animal models. Here, data are reviewed from a number of animal models in which fetal growth has been compromised by maternal malnutrition, surgical intervention, maternal diabetes, or maternal infection. The models have been used to elucidate the link between maternal health and the occurrence of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Several tissues involved in the endocrine/vascular system that are affected by alterations in fetal growth are described, including the endocrine pancreas, insulin-sensitive tissues, and kidneys.

Air samples were analyzed using standard methods, and determination of Hg in biological samples was made using cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Facility-provided laboratory reports for 199097 were used to compile a data base of both air and biological monitoring measurements. For the airborne measurements, the proportion of the total variability attributed to the intra-individual source of variation differed among occupational groups, and day-to-day variability was quite large. Fluctuations of daily airborne Hg levels were smoothed in both the body burdens of Hg in blood and, to a greater extent, in urine.

The period of the study coincided with pesticide spraying for the coddling moth. Azinphos methyl and phosmet were the two organophosphate pesticides used most. The metabolites of interest were dimethyl phosphate, dimethyl thiophosphate, and dimethyl dithiophosphate. A deterministic approach was applied to the data to estimate pesticide doses, and the dose estimates were compared to toxicologic benchmarks for azinphos methyl and phosmet. Results showed that the organophosphate pesticide exposures among the children fell into a range of regulatory concern. None of the dose estimates, however, exceeded the empirically derived no-observed-adverse-effect levels for the two compounds.

However, the evidence is incomplete for certain windows of exposure, especially for prenatal exposures and adult cancers. The issues considered by a cancer work group convened to identify critical windows of exposure for children's health are summarized.

The collection of urine samples was accompanied by a questionnaire on lifestyle and dietary habits. The urinary concentrations of dimethylphosphate and dimethylthiophosphate were 3.515.2 times higher than those of the other metabolites. A multiple regression model that used sex, mensa, vegetable garden, pest control, and pets as independent variables was significant for dimethylthiophosphate and dimethyldithiophosphate. The most significant variable for pesticide exposure in children was pest control operation performed inside or outside the house in the preceding month.

The exposure concentrations ranged from 1 10 super(-12) to 1 10 super(-5) M. Results showed that both alpha - and beta -endosulfan induced DNA strand breaks, although the cells were more sensitive to alpha -endosulfan than to beta -endosulfan, as indicated by the cell tail length. Only beta -endosulfan, however, exhibited significant effects on sister chromatid exchange and micronuclei.

In addition, the possible modification of this effect by DNA repair gene variants was considered. Results showed that the effect of receiving more than two postnatal X-rays was associated with a significant and moderately elevated risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The data suggested that the effect of postnatal diagnostic irradiation may be more pronounced among girls. The gene variant hMLH1 conferred protection at low level of exposure, and the variant hMSH3 was associated with an increased risk at the same level of exposure. Some variants modified risks in girls, and others modified risks in boys.

Results from the chemical-activated luciferase gene expression (CALUX) bioassay, which is based on AhR-mediated firefly luciferase expression in genetically modified cell lines, were compared with those obtained by gas chromatography. The study subjects were all infertile females visiting a fertility unit. PCB concentrations were determined in serum and follicular fluid. Results showed that, except for PCB-118, strong and statistically significant correlations were found for the individual congeners and the sum of PCBs in both serum and follicular fluid. Follicular fluid and serum showed opposite patterns of accumulation for PCB-153 and -180, with PCB-153 the major congener in serum and PCB-180 the main congener in follicular fluid. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the CALUX toxic equivalent values and the nonplanar PCB congeners within the serum samples were highly significant.

A generalized additive Poisson regression was fit to the data to examine potential confounding by other variables. Analysis of the data revealed that PM sub(10) was a significant predictor of daily deaths in both summer and winter. Sudden death was a major component of the air-pollution-associated risk. There was no trend of higher PM sub(10) effect sizes in towns with higher sulfur dioxide/PM sub(10) slopes, nor in towns with higher ozone/PM sub(10) or carbon monoxide/PM sub(10) slopes, indicating that the PM sub(10) effects were not caused by confounding by other pollutants. The PM sub(10) effect was not modified substantially by socioeconomic status measured at the city level.

The characteristics influencing exposure are identified as physiologic characteristics, behavioral development, physical activities, dietary and eating habits, sex, and socioeconomic status. The data available include personal monitoring, biologic monitoring, and children's activity pattern data. Activity pattern data requirements are demonstrated in the context of algorithms used to estimate chemical exposure by inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion. Three research areas are proposed: identification of appropriate age/developmental benchmarks for categorizing children in exposure assessments, development and improvement of methods for monitoring children's exposures and activities, and collection of physical activity data for children required to assess exposure by all routes.

The major outcome variables were birth weight, birth length, and fetal blood and organ Pb concentrations. Results indicated that Pb exposure that ended well before pregnancy could still cause decreases in birth weight and length. Birth weight and length were associated significantly and negatively with litter size, dam brain Pb, dam kidney Pb, dam femur Pb, and dam spinal column Pb. Birth weight was also associated significantly with pup kidney Pb. Increasing the dietary Ca intake during pregnancy reduced fetal Pb accumulation, but did not prevent the adverse effects of Pb on birth weight and length.

Both V. dahliae and Meloidogyne spp. infected these two I. achillaeoides populations and suppressed growth. However, symptoms of severe wilting and death that were previously reported in field specimens were not observed in greenhouse plants unless inoculated with both V. dahliae and Meloidogyne spp. Extensive discoloration of vascular tissue of the basal stem, associated with infection by V. dahliae, was also observed only in dying plants infected with both pathogens. These nematodes and the fungus form a disease complex in I. achillaeoides. The population of I. achillaeoides from the Adelaide Hills was significantly more resistant to M. javanica than to either M. incognita or M. hapla, while the population from the South East was significantly more resistant to M. hapla than to the other two species.

Laboratory and glasshouse experiments conducted with two slow-release sources of nitrogen and phosphorus (MaxBac registered (N:P:K:S 22:5.7:0:0.6) and MagAMP registered (N:P:K:Mg 7:20:5:9)) added to water repellent sand, in the absence of plant growth, resulted in a significant drop in hydrophobicity values apparently due to stimulation of wax-degrading microorganisms already present in the soil. Accordingly, two field experiments were set up in the south east of South Australia in which three different rates of the slow-release fertilizers were applied together with a low rate of kaolinitic, Mundulla clay. Subterranean clover was sown, but weeds were not controlled due to the unknown effect of herbicides on the soil microbial population. There was a significant decrease in water repellency at one site in the spring of the second year for the highest rates of MaxBac registered compared to the unfertilized control at a depth of 0-5 cm. At the end of the summer, however, the water repellency had risen to the same value as the untreated controls at both sites. The following winter and spring, there was a decrease in water repellency at both sites, though there was no clear trend between treatments. The presence of plant growth appeared to be a key factor in the lack of a sustained effect of the fertilizers. The reduction in hydrophobicity, either due to degradation of waxes or the movement of dissolved organic matter, was reversed when temperatures were elevated in summer. Dissolved organic matter was found to decrease the severity of water repellency and may be an important factor in developing an amelioration strategy.

This study investigates the physico-chemical characteristics of these natural waxes and compares them to waxes extracted from potential original source materials. Non-polar and polar hydrophobic wax extracts were obtained from whole non-wetting sand, and its individual constituents, and associated organic matter. These included the sand fraction, the intrinsic particulate organic matter, tree litter, eucalyptus leaves, bark, lucerne and lupin plants, and fungi and actinomycetes isolated from these sands. Waxes were characterized for their hydrophobic properties and composition of their chemical constituents. The hydrophobicities of the waxes were assessed by measuring the water-repellency induced after treating acid washed sand with wax extracts. Non-polar and polar wax extracts of the tree litter displayed hydrophobic properties that were similar to the corresponding waxes isolated from non-wetting sand and intrinsic particulate organic matter. Unlike these plant-derived waxes, the microbial wax extracts possessed different hydrophobic properties. Characterization of the components of the extracted waxes by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis revealed a strong similarity in the composition of waxes isolated from non-wetting sand, tree litter and other plant material. The major components found were unbranched and branched C sub(16) to C sub(36) fatty acids and their esters, alkanes, phytanols, phytanes, and sterols. Some of these components were not detected in the microbial waxes. Unextracted samples, as well as wax extracts of non-wetting sand, intrinsic particulate organic matter, tree litter and fresh plant material were further analyzed by solution and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy which revealed the relative content of the different chemical species present.

AN - 71144547; 10809730 AB - The nuclear gene encoding the Sit4 protein phosphatase was identified in the budding yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. K. lactis cells carrying a disrupted sit4 allele are resistant to oligomycin, antimycin, ketoconazole, and econazole but hypersensitive to paromomycin, sorbic acid, and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO). Overexpression of SIT4 leads to an elevation in resistance to paromomycin and to lesser extent tolerance to sorbic acid, but it has no detectable effect on resistance to 4-NQO. These observations suggest that the Sit4 protein phosphatase has a broad role in modulating multidrug resistance in K. lactis. Expression or activity of a membrane transporter specific for paromomycin and the ABC pumps responsible for 4-NQO and sorbic acid would be positively regulated by Sit4p. In contrast, the function of a Pdr5-type transporter responsible for ketoconazole and econazole extrusion, and probably also for efflux of oligomycin and antimycin, is likely to be negatively regulated by the phosphatase. Drug resistance of sit4 mutants was shown to be mediated by ABC transporters as efflux of the anionic fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G, a substrate for the Pdr5-type pump, is markedly increased in sit4 mutants in an energy-dependent and FK506-sensitive manner.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and Families of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62181876; ED466916 AB - This document contains the proceedings of a hearing held on May 16, 2000, before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth, and Families. The hearing addressed issues and concerns on the use of ritalin among youth with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). Following opening remarks of the congressmen, the report includes the testimony of Terrance Woodworth, the Deputy Director of the Office of Diversion Control at the Drug Enforcement Administration. In his testimony, he describes the increases in the production, distribution, and use of methylphenidate, and the lax handling of medication at schools that has provided an opportunity for abuse. The testimony of Dr. Lawrence Diller, a behavioral pediatrician, follows and addresses the over-prescription of ritalin. The testimony of special educator Francisca Jorgensen is then provided. She discusses a child with ADHD, who, after several unsuccessful educational accommodations, was provided with ritalin. Using ritalin, the student was able to attend, pay attention, and better relate to his peers. Following her testimony, the testimony of Mary Robertson, a mother of two children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is provided. She discusses the benefits of ritalin. The appendices include official statements from the congressmen, witnesses, and interested parties.

AN - 71157033; 10837913 AB - Hydrogen peroxide, at concentrations comparable to those observed under some pathological conditions, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of state 3 (ADP-stimulated) and uncoupled mitochondrial respiratory activity. The ADP:O ratio was also substantially reduced. In contrast, the organic peroxide, t-butylhydroperoxide at the same concentrations produced no significant changes in respiratory activity. Intramitochondrial glutathione was oxidised to a similar extent in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or t-butylhydroperoxide. Thus, changes in this endogenous antioxidant apparently did not underlie the different responses to these peroxides. The effects of hydrogen peroxide were not altered by deferoxamine indicating that the extramitochondrial generation of hydroxyl radicals was not likely to be involved. However, modifications arising from the generation of hydroxyl radicals within the mitochondria remain a likely contributor to the observed deleterious effects on respiratory function. The inhibitory effects of hydrogen peroxide were greatest when pyruvate plus malate were present as respiratory substrates. Lesser inhibition was seen with glutamate plus malate and no significant inhibitory effects were detected in the presence of succinate. The findings suggest that mitochondrial components involved in pyruvate oxidation were particularly sensitive to the hydrogen peroxide treatment. However, no significant change was seen in activity of either the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex or NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) when measured directly following treatment of the mitochondria with hydrogen peroxide.

AN - 71081423; 10767724 AB - The development of diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, which normally takes between 3 and 7 months, can be accelerated by cyclophosphamide (CY) injections, with rapid progression to diabetes within only 2-3 weeks. This insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can be prevented or delayed in CY-treated NOD mice by nicotinamide (NA). The present study was undertaken to determine the mode of cell death responsible for the development of IDDM in CY-treated male NOD mice and to investigate the effect of NA on beta-cell death. Apoptotic beta cells were present within the islets of Langerhans in haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of the pancreata harvested from 3- and 12-week-old male NOD mice, from 8 h until 14 days after a single intraperitoneal injection of CY (150 mg/kg body weight). The maximum amount of beta-cell apoptosis in 3-week-old animals occurred 1-2 days after CY treatment (20 apoptotic cells per 100 islets), after which time levels of apoptosis declined steadily throughout the 14-day period studied. The incidence of beta-cell apoptosis in 12-week-old male NOD mice occurred in two peaks; the first was recorded 8-24 h after CY treatment (30 apoptotic cells/100 islets), while the second, at 7 days (36 apoptotic cells per 100 islets), coincided with increased insulitis. Administration of NA 15 min before CY treatment, and thereafter daily, substantially reduced the amount of apoptosis and effectively eliminated (4 apoptotic cells per 100 islets) the second wave of beta-cell apoptosis seen at day 7 in 12-week-old animals given CY alone. These results show that apoptosis is the mode of beta-cell death responsible for the development of CY-induced IDDM and that prevention of IDDM by NA is associated with a reduction in beta-cell apoptosis.

Bulletin 2521. AN - 62248656; ED456239 AB - This statistical and research supplement to the 2000-01 "Occupational Outlook Handbook" presents detailed, national, comprehensive statistics used in preparing the handbook. It also discusses recent research results and other topics valuable to training officials, education planners, vocational and employment counselors, job-seekers, and others interested in occupational information. Each topic is addressed separately in five chapters. Chapter 1 surveys secondary job data from the Current Population Survey that now are included in total employment estimates, while Chapter 2 presents detailed information about all occupations in the national industry-occupation matrix. In addition to statistics on employment and employment changes, growth rates, job openings, and self-employed workers, rankings from very low to very high for a number of variables are provided in a table in this chapter. The chapter also identifies the most significant source of education or training category designated for each occupation. Chapter 3 presents information about the factors affecting each of these categories. The concept of replacement needs is discussed in Chapter 4. The chapter defines what the data on replacement needs represent and describes how they were prepared. Projected replacement rates and estimates of replacement needs for 1998-2008 also are included. Finally, data from the National Center for Education Statistics on completions of institutional education and training programs by field of study appear in Chapter 5. The data described in the report are presented in 11 tables and a figure. (KC) AU - Kirby, Sean AU - Nelson, Andrew AU - Shelley, Kristina AU - Stringer, Tiffany T.

PBPK model of trichloroethylene kinetics. AN - 21270377; 11704979 AB - A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for trichloroethylene (TCE) in rodents and humans was calibrated with published toxicokinetic data sets. A Bayesian statistical framework was used to combine previous information about the model parameters with the data likelihood, to yield posterior parameter distributions. The use of the hierarchical statistical model yielded estimates of both variability between experimental groups and uncertainty in TCE toxicokinetics. After adjustment of the model by Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, estimates of variability for the animal or human metabolic parameters ranged from a factor of 1.5-2 (geometric standard deviation [GSD]). Uncertainty was of the same order as variability for animals and higher than variability for humans. The model was used to make posterior predictions for several measures of cancer risk. These predictions were affected by both uncertainties and variability and exhibited GSDs ranging from 2 to 6 in mice and rats and from 2 to 10 for humans.

AN - 21259656; 11703790 AB - The existing extensive laboratory data on trichloroethylene (TCE) and its two metabolites, dichloroacetic (DCA) and trichloroacetic (TCA), are used to explore the relationship among these three compounds. Under the hypothesis that these compounds induce liver tumors in mice through promotion of preexisting initiated cells, it is demonstrated that DCA alone could be responsible for all the response of carcinomas in liver of B6CF(1) mice. The focus of this paper is on how a plausible biological assumption could impact on low-dose risk estimates, rather than on the risk estimate per se. The findings suggest that low-dose risk estimates to humans would be overestimated unless the different background rates between mice and humans are properly accounted for.

Diet was partitioned on a body size-prey size axis, but substantial overlap occurred between adjacent species. Complementary niche differentiation also occurred on horizontal (vegetation type and structure) and vertical (arboreal) habitat dimensions. Eastern quolls separated completely by using grasslands more than the other 2 species. Spotted-tailed quolls were distinguished by a greater degree of arboreal activity that reflected a large proportion of arboreal prey species in their diet. A strong relationship was found between body size, arboreal activity, and morphologic adaptations for climbing between predators and prey. Coevolution in phenotype among predators and prey and consequent constraint on performance in different habitat types were the most easily measured explanations for habitat differentiation among these species, particularly between spotted-tailed quolls and devils. The 'ghost of competition past' is an alternative and nonexclusive explanation that can equally explain arboreal habitat use by spotted-tailed quolls and separation between the eastern quoll and the spotted-tailed quoll. Risk of predation and prey availability also may be important factors.

It has been suggested that 12-LOX and its metabolites play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. A hammerhead ribozyme (Rz) targeted to the first GUC site within the 12-LOX mRNA was designed and cloned into an in vitro transcriptional or mammalian expression vector. In vitro, the Rz was able to cleave its substrate efficiently in a time-dependent manner. Under multiple turnover conditions, the Rz performed well at 37 degree C, with a further improvement at 50 degree C. When cloned into a mammalian expression vector, pSV2neo, the Rz construct efficiently decreased the level of 12-LOX mRNA in stably transfected human erythroleukemia cells to levels that were undetectable by Northern blot analyses. 12-LOX enzyme activity assays showed that Rz significantly reduced the 12-hydroperoxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid production in human erythroleukemia cells; this effect was sustained for up to 6 months in cell culture. The Rz developed in this study may represent a powerful tool for potential applications, ranging from an understanding of tumor angiogenesis to cancer gene therapy.

This simple technique facilitated the purification of the first C3-binding protein isolated from a bacterium (Streptococcus pneumoniae). Both metastable (native) and thioester-disrupted C3 were recognized by this protein; binding of C3 was noncovalent, independent of thioester conformation, and preferential for the C3 alpha -chain. Sequencing of amino-terminal and internal peptides from the C3-binding protein disclosed a proline-rich region spanning approximately 20 amino acids and a signal peptide that had not been previously reported. The gene was isolated from a library of genomic DNA from laboratory strain CP1200 by screening with a 1200 bp PCR product amplified from degenerate oligonucleotides encoding the amino terminal sequence and the internal proline-rich sequence. The open reading frame spanned 1692 bp; all peptide sequences were identified in the translated gene product, which also contained at least three choline-binding repeats at the carboxy-terminus. The gene was conserved, and the translated protein was functionally active in pneumococcal clinical isolates of serotypes 1, 3, 4, 14, and 19F. Serum from a patient recovering from acute pneumococcal infection contained IgG antibodies specific for this protein by immunoblot. Wide conservation among clinical isolates, saturable binding of C3, and the ability to stimulate the human immune response have not previously been reported for this choline-binding protein. A similar biochemical approach should enable the identification of other C3-binding proteins in microorganisms able to elude complement-mediated host defense.

Nearly 1000 km of river were affected. At the time of the bloom phosphorus originating from anthropogenic sources was believed to be the principal cause. In this study we have used major element chemistry to examine the sources of sediment and sediment-associated phosphorus delivered to the Darling-Barwon River. We show that the sediments are derived primarily from the sedimentary and granitic bedrock areas of the catchment, not the intensively farmed basalt areas. We also show that the sediment currently in transport in the Darling-Barwon does not originate from contemporary upland erosion, but is probably derived from lowland areas of the catchment that contain more weathered material. Phosphorus concentrations in the sediments are consistent with those in natural soils of the region, and evidence from two sediment cores indicates that phosphorus concentrations have not changed significantly in the last 200 years. The implications of these findings for algal growth control strategies are discussed.

Phenotypic properties, DNA G+C content and whole-cell fatty acid profiles of the Antarctic strains were consistent with those of the genus Flavobacterium. DNA-DNA hybridization analysis indicated the presence of two distinct and novel genospecies each isolated from a different Antarctic habitat. From polyphasic taxonomic data it is proposed that the two groups represent new species with the following proposed names: Flavobacterium gillisiae (ACAM 601 (T)) and Flavobacterium tegetincola (ACAM 602(T)). In addition polyphasic analysis of the species '[Cytophaga] xantha', isolated from Antarctic mud, indicated it was a distinct member of the genus Flavobacterium and was thus revived as Flavobacterium xanthum. Phylogenetic and fatty acid analyses also indicate that the species [Flavobacterium] salegens, from Organic Lake, Antarctica, is misclassified at the genus level. It is proposed that this species belongs to a new genus, Salegentibacter salegens gen. nov., comb. nov.

Corrugation axes are approximately parallel to the fault-displacement direction and to the footwall mylonitic lineation. The core complexes are locally incised by enigmatic, linear drainages that parallel corrugation axes and the inferred extension direction and are especially conspicuous on the crests of antiformal corrugations. These drainages have been attributed to erosional incision on a freshly denuded, planar, inclined fault ramp followed by folding that elevated and preserved some drainages on the crests of rising antiforms. According to this hypothesis, corrugations were produced by folding after subaerial exposure of detachment-fault footwalls. An alternative hypothesis, proposed here, is as follows. In a setting where preexisting drainages cross an active normal fault, each fault-slip event will cut each drainage into two segments separated by a freshly denuded fault ramp. The upper and lower drainage segments will remain hydraulically linked after each fault-slip event if the drainage in the hanging-wall block is incised, even if the stream is on the flank of an antiformal corrugation and there is a large component of strike-slip fault movement. Maintenance of hydraulic linkage during sequential fault-slip events will guide the lengthening stream down the fault ramp as the ramp is uncovered, and stream incision will form a progressively lengthening, extension-parallel, linear drainage segment. This mechanism for linear drainage genesis is compatible with corrugations as original irregularities of the detachment fault, and does not require folding after early to middle Miocene footwall exhumation. This is desirable because many drainages are incised into nonmylonitic crystalline footwall rocks that were probably not folded under low-temperature, surface conditions. An alternative hypothesis, that drainages were localized by small fault grooves as footwalls were uncovered, is not supported by analysis of a down-plunge fault projection for the southern Rincon Mountains that shows a linear drainage aligned with the crest of a small antiformal groove on the detachment fault, but this process could have been effective elsewhere. Lineation-parallel drainages now plunge gently southwestward on the southwest ends of antiformal corrugations in the South and Buckskin Mountains, but these drainages must have originally plunged northeastward if they formed by either of the two alternative processes proposed here. Footwall exhumation and incision by northeast-flowing streams was apparently followed by core-complex arching and drainage reversal.

An inverted-repeat (i/r) GUS construct, designed to produce mRNA with self-complementarity, was much more effective than simple sense and antisense constructs at inducing silencing. Supertransforming rice calluses with a direct-repeat (d/r) construct, although not as effective as those with the i/r construct, was also substantially more effective in silencing the resident GUS gene than the simple sense and antisense constructs. DNA hybridisation analyses revealed that every callus line supertransformed with either simple sense or antisense constructs, and subsequently showing GUS silencing, had the silence-inducing transgenes integrated into the plant genome in inverted-repeat configurations. The silenced lines containing i/r and d/r constructs did not necessarily have inverted-repeat T-DNA insertions. There was significant methylation of the GUS sequences in most of the silenced lines but not in the unsilenced lines. However, demethylation treatment of silenced lines with 5-azacytidine did not reverse the post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of GUS. Whereas the levels of RNA specific to the resident GUS gene were uniformly low in the silenced lines, RNA specific to the inducer transgenes accumulated to a substantial level, and the majority of the i/r RNA was unpolyadenylated. Altogether, these results suggest that both sense- and antisense-mediated gene suppression share a similar molecular basis, that unpolyadenylated RNA plays an important role in PTGS, and that methylation is not essential for PTGS.

Six male koalas were given two single oral doses of p-cymene (0.37 mmol/kg and 1.49 mmol/kg). Urine and feces were collected for two 24-hr periods after each dose and analyzed for metabolites by extraction, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. A total of six metabolites were detected in the urine. A novel, extensively oxidized metabolite, 4-(1,2-dihydroxy-1-methylethyl)-benzoic acid, was identified and its structure elucidated by high resolution and chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Minor amounts of two glycine conjugated metabolites were also detected. Five metabolites were present in sufficient amounts to quantify, using isolated urinary metabolites as reference standards. The mean fractional recovery of administered p-cymene was 0.77 plus or minus 0.09 and 0.84 plus or minus 0.12 for the low and high dose, respectively. The major metabolite excreted was the novel carboxy diol compound. No fecal metabolites were found. Thus, the koala employs a strategy in the metabolism of p-cymene that promotes the production of extensively oxidized metabolites that consequently have increased polarity and enhanced renal excretion. This strategy is compared with that employed by other Eucalyptus leaf folivores.

(Fabaceae), were measured over a three-year period in a semi-arid ecosystem. Each species produced a single flowering episode per year which lasted about 15 weeks and which overlapped considerably with those of the remaining two species. A comparison of the actual flowering schedules over two years with those generated from Monte Carlo simulations showed that the flowering schedules of the three species were significantly clumped. Fruit-to-flower ratios on D. hispida plants were calculated over two flowering periods and these values were correlated with conspecific and heterospecific flower abundances to determine whether the extent of overlap in flowering schedules was associated with elevated or depressed levels of fruit set. Partial correlations between heterospecific floral densities and fruit-to-flower ratios were usually positive, indicating a possible selective advantage favouring these convergent flowering schedules.

A single SeqA focus, localized at midcell, separates into two foci and these foci migrate abruptly in opposite directions. Results: The present study shows that (i) appearance of SeqA foci depends on continuous DNA replication, suggesting that the SeqA foci represent clusters consisting of SeqA and newly replicated hemimethylated DNA, (ii) in a synchronous round of replication, a single SeqA focus at midcell separates into two foci and these foci abruptly migrate in opposite directions midway through replication from oriC to the terminus, and (iii) oriC is replicated at midcell but replicated oriC copies remain linked with each other at midcell for 40 min after replication at 30 degree C. Subsequently, the linked oriC copies separate and migrate gradually towards both borders of the nucleoid before cell division. Conclusions: A single cluster of SeqA-bound hemimethylated DNA segment separates into two clusters and these clusters migrate abruptly in a bipolar fashion during progress of replication and prior to separation of linked sister oriC copies.

Victoria in Australia. At site 1, the cultural practice of mowing to remove excess basal growth operated exclusively along rows, while at site 2, mowing occurred both along and across rows. Other cultural practices such as stringing, bine-training, spraying, and harvesting were directed along rows at both sites. Spatial aggregation within and across rows was assessed by ordinary runs analysis, and by radial correlation analysis using the program 2DCORR. The dominant spread mechanism of carlaviruses differed between sites. At site 1, along-row aggregation of both HpLV and HpMV in 1997 reflected the importance of basal-growth intertwining for virus transmission, either due to mechanical transmission or movement of apterous or alatae vectors along rows. At site 2, the random incidence of HpLV and HpMV reflected spread by alatae vectors. The spread of PNRSV at both sites was associated with mowing direction. This study reports the first use of a modified version of radial correlation analysis.

Lesions on these shoots and leaves are purple to light brown, becoming necrotic with well-defined margins. The fungus is characterized by having acervular conidiomata, cylindrical to lageniform monophialidic conidiogenous cells, and spheroid to pyriform conidia that are hyaline, aseptate, and often produced in chains. The morphological characteristics fit the published description for the genus Gloeosporidina. This is the first record of a member in the genus from Australia and the first time a Gloeosporidina species has been found on eucalypts.

Both mice and human data were used. The posterior parameter distributions obtained for mice are quite narrow, indicating that the data are strongly informative for most parts of the model, although some processes or parameters need to be added for a better fit. The human model also has difficulties in fitting all the data. The human posterior parameter distributions agree quite well with the corresponding priors. Volumes and flows appear to vary across subject by 20%, with the variability somewhat higher for partition coefficients and much higher for the metabolic parameters.

Mutagenicity and genotoxicity information published for TCE is provided, as well as for its metabolites: chloral hydrate, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trichloroethanol, S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine, and S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl) glutathione. The data clearly show that TCE and its metabolites are not potent genotoxic agents, but are weakly genotoxic, requiring high doses to induce a response. The possibility that chemically induced mutation is a key event in the development of TCE-induced tumors cannot be ruled out, however.

Data are presented on sources of TCE, its environmental fate, and concentrations in exposure media and in humans. The data suggest that TCE is pervasive in the environment, such that exposure occurs through ingestion of drinking water, inhalation of ambient air, or ingestion of food. Typical daily intakes of TCE are estimated to range 1133 and 220 mu g/g for inhalation and ingestion, respectively.

In this study, a newly described method for measuring TGF- beta mRNA production in teleost fish was applied to a study of fish health in tributaries of Chesapeake Bay. The constitutive TGF- beta transcription levels were compared to the standard cellular immune function test, microphage bactericidal activity. Adult white perch were collected from the lower Pocomoke, the Wicomico, the Choptank, and the Back Rivers. The analytical procedures used are detailed. Results revealed significant differences in splenic mononuclear cell TGF- beta : beta -actin ratios based on sample time and location. Constitutive TGF- beta production generally increased from June to August and October. An inverse relationship was found between TGF- beta production and macrophage bactericidal activity. The prevalence of skin and fin lesions in white perch did not correlate with TGF- beta production or macrophage bactericidal activity. Salinity correlated with TGF- beta : beta -actin ratios, but an increased association with macrophage bactericidal activity was not statistically significant.

Estrogenicity was evaluated as induction or repression of four endogenous estrogen-regulated marker genes selected from a collection of previously identified estrogen-regulated genes. The assay was performed in human estrogen-dependent breast-cancer MCF-7 cells, and changes in gene expression were assayed by a competitive polymerase chain reaction method. All operational components of the assay are detailed. The four marker genes were pS2, MAO-A, TGF beta 3, and alpha 1-ACT. Each is described. Assay results demonstrated that estrogenic activity could be evaluated by assaying induction or repression of the marker genes. Changes in gene expression levels quantitatively exhibited a doseresponse correlation.

Two such human models and four mouse models were selected for review. Each is described briefly. Analysis of the models suggests that the dosimetry of TCE and its metabolites is more variable in humans than in experimental rodents, but that this variability can be quantified and incorporated into human PBPK models intended for risk assessment. The subsequent second-generation PBPK models for TCE describe the pharmacokinetics of TCE and its cytochrome P450-mediated metabolites using a complex metabolic scheme that accounts for species differences.

Epstein-Barr virus, which is a human herpesvirus that has a tropism for B-lymphocytes and is found worldwide, has been associated with certain types of non-Hodgekin lymphoma, and in hairy-cell leukemia, elevated levels of antibodies to Epstein-Barr early antigen and viral capsid antigen have been reported. In this study, the concentrations of organochlorines in blood samples from hairy-cell leukemia patients were determined and compared to controls, and the titers of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus were correlated to concentrations of these substances. A slightly elevated odds ratio was found for the presence of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus early antigen IgG. A possible interaction was noted between elevated early antigen IgG and concentrations of chlordane, p,p'-DDE, and hexachlorobenzene. No clear interaction for PCBs was observed. An increased risk for hairy-cell leukemia was found for subjects with titers to early antigen IgG above the median for controls, and this risk increased further with increased concentrations of the aforementioned organochlorine compounds.

Four modes of action are considered: somatic mutation, modification of cell-signal pathways, cell death and reparative hyperplasia, and hepatomegaly/cytomegaly. The data suggest that the induction of liver tumors by TCE results from a modification of cell-signaling systems that control rates of cell division and death.

Considered are the requirements for a PBPK model to support TCE risk assessments, previous PBPK modeling of TCE, and TCE metabolism. A diagram of the PBPK model developed for TCE and its metabolites is provided, and the PBPK model parameters are elucidated, including those for the parent compound, for oxidative metabolism, for lung metabolism, and for conjugative metabolism. Results are presented from a validation of the model in terms of parameter sensitivity and uncertainty, and pharmacokinetic dose metric uncertainty. The assessment reveals that the model provides reasonably accurate and precise estimates of dose metrics based on TCE and its major metabolites in both experimental animals and humans. All governing numerical equations are appended.

Paint Pb loadings on walls, ceilings, and other building components were measured pre- and postintervention using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer. The Pb hazard control work involved surface preparation for paint stabilization, and the replacement or treatment of windows to eliminate Pb-containing surfaces. Results showed a significant increase in dust Pb loading on walls from pre- to postintervention, with a median increase of 32 mu g/ft super(2). An increase in dust Pb loading on ceilings after Pb intervention was also statistically significant. This increase did not change when the walls were cleaned to remove visible dust and debris after the intervention work.

While residue levels of PBDEs in biota are much lower than those of PCBs, increasing concentrations have been found recently in breast milk samples. An overview is provided of the identity, use, and production of PBDEs, their environmental fate, the tissue levels in humans and animals, and data on their toxicology, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, endocrine effects, and developmental toxicity. The use of breast-milk monitoring programs to estimate body burdens of PBDEs as well as other polyhalogenated persistent organic pollutants is considered.

Descriptive statistics and correlation patterns were examined regionally and seasonally for admission counts and atmospheric variables. Results showed that increases in urban CO and/or PM sub(10) and/or NO sub(2) were associated with meaningful increases in cardiovascular illnesses. The excess risk of hospitalization was found to be greater on high-primary-pollution days than on high-O sub(3) days. Carbon monoxide showed the strongest statistical relationships with most indices of morbidity, even in the regions and seasons with the highest and widest ranging PM sub(10) concentrations. All pulmonary diseases were associated more with PM sub(10) and NO sub(2) than with CO, while all cardiovascular diseases were associated more with CO than with PM sub(10). Asthma was associated more with persons younger than 30 yr, and cardiovascular diseases were associated more the persons at least 65 yr of age. Regression coefficients, though not significant, suggested meaningful ethnic differences in exposureresponse relationships.

Exposureeffects relationships were determined; dosimetric relationships were established; and relationships between tissue concentrations of TCE and functional effects on the nervous system were assessed. Results show the effects of TCE inhalation on hearing loss, signal detection behavior, and visual-evoked potentials. The result show that Haber's Rule did not hold when extrapolating these neurotoxicological outcomes over exposure duration. Good correlations were observed between the predicted levels of internal dose and measures of signal detection behavior and visual function. The data suggest that the acute changes in neural function occurring during exposure to TCE were a function of the momentary tissue concentration of the compound.

The development of the microcystin standard is outlined. The products were tested using a competitive direct-ELISA. The average microcystin levels in the samples collected in 1996 and 1997 ranged 2.1510.89 mu g/g. The predominant congener was identified as microcystin-LR, the most toxic microcystin variant. Lower concentrations were found in 1999. Using an established risk assessment methodology, the Oregon Health Division derived a safe microcystin level of 1 mu g/g in blue-green-algae products, which was adopted as a regulatory standard in 1997. The level is comparable directly to the drinking-water guideline set by WHO.

No effect of increased NO sub(3) concentrations on the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children aged 014 yr was found. In addition, no interactions between NO sub(3) levels, sex, and age were observed.

A number of studies have shown that TCE is toxic to the bronchiolar epithelium of mice and rats following acute exposure, with the primary effects of TCE on the mouse lung in all studies involving morphological and biochemical changes in the nonciliated Clara cells, which are accompanied by a reduction in the metabolic capacity of the lung. Cytotoxicity and increased cell division form the basis of a plausible mode of action for TCE-induced mouse lung tumors. Both are known risk factors for carcinogenesis. The unique sensitivity of the mouse lung to both the acute and chronic effects of TCE is a direct consequence of high cytochrome P450 activity and impaired metabolism of chloral. The large quantitative differences between the metabolic capacity of the mouse lung and the human lung suggest that the risks of TCE exposure to humans are minimal in terms of pulmonary toxicity and carcinogenicity.

In this study, the ability of melatonin to reduce Cr(III)-induced oxidative DNA damage in vitro was determined and compared to that of vitamins E and C, which are well-known antioxidants. Calf thymus DNA was used. Results showed that increasing concentrations of Cr(III) caused significant increases in 8-OH-dG levels in DNA. Melatonin concentrations greater than 0.25 mu M significantly reduced 8-OH-dG formation in DNA, and was found to be more protective than the other antioxidants. Melatonin's highly effective protection against Cr(III)-induced formation of 8-OH-dG in DNA may relate to several actions of the indoleamine, which are described.

The toxic and reactive metabolites of TCE that may be important in TCE-induced renal toxicity are identified, and modes of action for TCE in the kidneys are proposed, including: peroxisome proliferation, alpha sub(2u)-globulin nephropathy, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, alterations in calcium ion homeostasis, mitochrondrial dysfunction, protein alkylation, cellular repair processes, and alterations in gene expression and cell proliferation. The overall data suggest that multiple modes of action may be important in TCE-induced kidney cancer and that different modes or combinations of modes of action may be important at high or low doses of TCE. Research needs in this area are identified.

AN - 14537429; 10587555 AB - Increasingly, tourism is playing an important role in the economies of developing countries, but significant environmental impacts ensue. According to the Ecotourism Society, 4060% of tourists are attracted to natural areas such as coral reefs, savannas, beaches, and forests. Air, train, ship, and automobile travel to these destinations produces significant pollution, and waste generation increases exponentially for limited periods in tourist areas. Tourism development can also dramatically alter land use, especially in small, fragile environments, and coastal development can damage marine resources. Efforts to reduce the environmental impact of tourism through ecotourism are discussed, arguing that it is a step in the right direction, although many ecotourism projects have failed to meet recognizable standards.

United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62325996; ED451012 AB - A Senate committee hearing received testimony on proposed amendments to the Indian provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The proposals include amendments to the ESEA amendments of 1978 related to Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools and amendments to the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 1988. Both sets of proposals stress local tribal flexibility in developing education programs and continue the trend toward increasing tribal contracting of federal services and programs. Testimony from U.S. Senators and representatives of Native educational associations addressed the role of Native school boards, the backlog of nearly a billion dollars in construction needs at BIA schools, the need for investment accounts for every BIA school to cover the costs of capital improvements, funding mechanisms, tribal educational standards and accountability, and local training and technical assistance needs. The question of whether a BIA grant school could also receive state charter-school funds was discussed. The appendix contains the Navajo Nation's recommendations for specific language to be used in the amendments.

Report [To Accompany S. 1608]. Calendar No. 520. AN - 62324140; ED452016 AB - When the National Forest System was established in 1907, Congress required that 25 percent of revenues derived from National Forests be shared with the counties where they are situated. These proceeds partially refund the tax revenues lost by local governments and help fund rural schools, roads, and other services. In recent years, reduced timber sales have decreased these payments dramatically, seriously impacting educational programs, road maintenance, and other services in the affected counties. This report from the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources presents and recommends passage of S. 1608, which would establish secure payments for states and counties containing federal lands and apply available forest revenues to meet these payments, with general treasury funds making up the difference. Of the payments made, 80-85 percent would go to the traditional schools and roads program; 15-20 percent would be given to the counties for federal-land management projects developed locally. The bill aims to provide secure funding for rural schools while improving cooperative relationships among the people that use and care for federal lands and federal management agencies. This report contains the text of the legislation; its purpose, background, and history; and explanations of each legislative section. A statement by James R. Lyons, Agriculture Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment, explains why the Clinton Administration opposed this bill, citing the need to sever completely the link between timber sales and educational funding.

Of 106 chicks sampled in one breeding season from 18 nests, 54 (51%) were not fathered by the nesting male, 12 (11%) were not from the observed mate of the sitting male, and 9 (8%) represented intra-specific brood parasitism, having no alleles in common with either nest parent. Some males (11%) fathered all chicks in their nests, but the majority showed high levels of cuckoldry. Those males commencing incubation earliest in the season tended to have the highest levels of paternity in their own nests. These results reveal a high frequency of extra-pair fertilisations and resultant cuckoldry in a predominantly socially monogamous bird and support recent reports which have described the emu mating system as a complexity of polyandrous, promiscuous and monogamous behaviour. Parentage assignment of chicks resulting from extra-pair fertilisations revealed an evenly scattered pattern of paternity that did not show any particular male dominance in reproductive success. These results lead to a reassessment of behavioural observations of emus, the consequences of parentage distribution, and theories about mating systems and sexual selection. The frequency of extra-pair copulations and intra-specific brood parasitism suggests patterns of descent that differ greatly from those implied by social monogamy.

HAC recently sponsored a summit on the economic development in the Mississippi Delta, and the Clinton Administration plans a meeting on the topic next month in Washington, D.C. Perhaps even more important than expanding existing programs, the federal government can encourage the private sector to make more investments in rural housing. Banks and other mortgage institutions stand to make millions in rural America-and help countless rural residents-if they are given adequate financial guarantees from the federal government. The Mississippi Delta and rural America are ready to enter the global marketplace, but their success depends on a renewed national commitment to addressing housing, education, health, and the myriad of other challenges they face.

Using greenhouse-grown transgenic peas (Pisum sativum), we have shown previously that expression of alpha AI-1 in pea seeds can provide complete protection against the pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum). Here, we report that alpha AI-1 also protects peas from the weevil under field conditions. The high degree of protection is explained by our finding that alpha AI-1 inhibits pea bruchid alpha -amylase by 80% over a broad pH range (pH 4.5-6.5). alpha AI-2, on the other hand, is a much less effective inhibitor of pea bruchid alpha -amylase, inhibiting the enzyme by only 40%, and only in the pH 4.0-4.5 range. Nevertheless, this inhibitor was still partially effective in protecting field-grown transgenic peas against pea weevils. The primary effect of alpha AI-2 appeared to be a delay in the maturation of the larvae. This contrasts with the effect of alpha AI-1, which results in larval mortality at the first or second instar. These results are discussed in relationship to the use of amylase inhibitors with different specificities to bring about protection of crops from their insect pests or to decrease insect pest populations below the economic injury level.

Under some circumstances these effects are additive. Under others the implication is that synergistic interactions lead to a combined effect of greater magnitude than the sum of constraints applied individually. Predictive modelling studies on the combined effects of temperature and water activity and temperature and pH suggest that the effect of these combinations on growth rate is independent. Where the effect of the two factors is interactive rather than independent is at the point where growth ceases - the growth/no growth interface. An interesting and consistent observation is that a very sharp cut off occurs between conditions permitting growth and those preventing growth, allowing those combinations of factors to be defined precisely and modelled. Growth/no growth interface models quantify the effects of various hurdles on the probability of growth and define combinations at which the growth rate is zero or the lag time infinite. Increasing the stringency of one or more hurdles at the interface by only a small amount will significantly decrease the probability of an organism growing. Understanding physiological processes occurring near the growth/no growth interface and changes induced by moving from one side of the interface to the other may well provide insights that can be exploited in a new generation of food preservation techniques with minimal impact on product quality.

This distinction is critical in studies aimed at evaluating immune reconstitution following intensive chemotherapy, in immunodeficiency-related therapies, or in the elucidation of the kinetics of thymic function. During V(D)J T cell receptor rearrangement, DNA extrachromosomal excision products are generated. These products, known as T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs), are not replicated during mitosis and are thus diluted with each round of cell division. Therefore, TRECs can be used as an indicator of recent thymic emigrants. Thus far, quantitative competitive-polymerase chain reaction (QC-PCR) and real time PCR were used to measure TREC levels. However, QC-PCR relies on radioactivity, is cumbersome when processing many samples at once and the cost of real time PCR does not make it a viable option for many laboratories. We describe here the development of a quantitative PCR-ELISA method for the measurement of coding joint TRECs generated from V alpha J alpha recombination. Our assay is ultra sensitive, relies on biotin labeling rather than radioactivity, is based on a 96-well format making multiple process sampling relatively easy, and is cost effective. Using this PCR-ELISA method, we evaluated thymic output among 22 normal subjects, ranging in age from 22-53 years, and among HIV-infected individuals following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). We demonstrate that an inverse relationship exists between TREC levels and aging in normal individuals and that, among some HIV patients, HAART treatment leads to enhanced thymic output. Our assay has direct relevance in projects examining normal and abnormal thymic function and in immune reconstitution studies.

The grazing pressure of the crustaceans on phytoplankton and other protists, and the role they play in controlling food web structure, has not yet been examined in any detail. This paper presents the first data on grazing pressure of crustacean zooplankton in continental Antarctic lakes. In this study the grazing rates of Paralabidocera antarctica in saline Ace Lake, Vestfold Hills, were assessed using a radio-tracer method. Clearance rates ranged from approximately 1 to 8mlind. super(-1) day super(-1), depending on developmental stage. Due to their high abundance, nauplii exhibited the highest daily carbon ingestion rates. The population cleared about 3% of the water column per day, accounting for a significant fraction of primary production. P. antarctica has a considerable impact on the carbon cycle in Ace Lake and, by inference, in the other lakes in which it occurs.

AN - 71010942; 10739958 AB - The inhibitory effects of flavonoids (galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, morin, and taxifolin) on rabbit heart carbonyl reductase (RHCR) were investigated using 4-benzoylpyridine (4BP) as the substrate. The stereochemical characteristics of the flavonoids were found to be a factor determining their inhibitory potencies toward RHCR. Furthermore, the lipophilicity, and the scavenging or antioxidative effects of the flavonoids were likely to complicate the structure-activity relationship of their inhibitory effects on RHCR. Quercetin inhibited RHCR uncompetitively with respect to NADPH and competitively with respect to 4BP, suggesting that it competes with 4BP at the substrate-binding site of RHCR. RHCR efficiently reduced benzoquinones (1,4-benzoquinone and 2-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinone) and naphthoquinones (1,4-naphthoquinone and menadione). Galangin was a potent inhibitor of RHCR when menadione was used as the substrate, and prevented the formation of the superoxide anion radical in the presence of RHCR, NADPH, and menadione. Flavonoids may be useful compounds for suppressing the cardiotoxicity of quinones by inhibiting RHCR.

AN - 70998787; 10729381 AB - Recent observations that remnants of triglyceride rich lipoproteins become trapped within the subendothelial of arterial vessels gives rise to the possibility that these particles could initiate the atherogenic cascade. Increased frequency and progression of atherosclerosis in diabetes might in part be a consequence of raised concentrations in plasma of remnant lipoproteins. In addition, diabetes may lead to changes in the arterial vasculature which exacerbate arterial retention of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins. To explore these possibilities, in this study we determined aortic retention of chylomicron remnants, which are of intestinal origin, and of hepatically derived low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in insulin deficient rabbits and rats. The two species were selected because of their disparate susceptibility to develop atherosclerosis in the presence of diabetes induced hyperlipidemia. Chylomicron remnants and LDL were differentially radiolabelled with a residual marker and injected simultaneously into conscious rabbits or rats. Arterial retention was determined 2 h after injection, and relative retention was expressed as a percentage of mean arterial exposure. We found in insulin deficient rabbits and rats that intimal and medial retention of chylomicron remnants was positively related to the degree of hyperglycemia and was significantly greater than in non-diabetic control groups. In contrast, insulin deficiency did not influence arterial retention of LDL. Rabbits which are susceptible to diabetes induced atherogenesis had significantly greater intimal retention of chylomicron remnants compared to rats. Results from this study support the hypothesis that chronic hyperglycemia promotes arterial retention of triglyceride rich remnant lipoproteins and that atherosclerotic susceptibility might be related to degree of remnant entrapment within the subendothelial space. Greater retention of remnant lipoproteins could in part explain the increased prevalence of atherogenesis in diabetes.

After a discussion about the limited, although growing, literature on social work ethics, the ten main tenets from the most current NASW (National Assoc of Social Workers) Code of Ethics are presented. These topics include limits to confidentiality, confidentiality & technology, confidentiality in family & group work, managed care, cultural competence, dual relationships, sexual relationships, impairment & incompetence of colleagues, application to administrators, & relevance to social work educators. In addition to understanding the Code of Ethics, social workers can use the ETHIC model of decision making for resolving ethical dilemmas. This easy to use five-step process includes examining personal, agency, client, & professional values; thinking about ethical standards & relevant laws; hypothesizing about consequences; identifying the most vulnerable; & consulting with supervisors & colleagues. A case example involving confidentiality, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), & family therapy demonstrates how social workers can use the ETHIC model. 1 Table, 72 References.

There has been widespread acceptance that overflow of Lakes Victoria and Albert into the Nile occurred some time during the terminal Pleistocene, but recent suggestions that Lake Victoria remained a closed basin until ca. 7.2 ka imply a much longer period of greatly reduced White Nile discharge. This hypothesis has major consequences for current ideas about the river's paleohydrology, early human exploitation of riverine resources, Nile Delta sedimentation, and late Quaternary genesis of sapropels in the eastern Mediterranean. Here we resolve the timing of Lake Victoria's overflow by using strontium isotopes as a tracer for water from the principal lakes and rivers of the Upper Nile. Our data demonstrate that overflow of Lakes Victoria and Albert into the Nile drainage network occurred no later than 11.5 (super 14) C ka.

In this study, the GG strain of L. rhamnosus decreased AFB sub(1) concentration by 54% in the soluble fraction of the luminal fluid within 1 min. This strain was more efficient in binding AFB sub(1) compared with L. rhamnosus strain LC-705 (P < 0.05) that removed 44% of AFB sub(1) under similar conditions. Accumulation of AFB sub(1) into the intestinal tissue was also determined. There was a 74% reduction in the uptake of AFB sub(1) by the intestinal tissue, in the presence of L. rhamnosus strain GG compared with 63% and 37% in the case of Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. shermanii JS and L. rhamnosus strain LC-705, respectively. The complexes formed in vitro between either L. rhamnosus strain GG or L. rhamnosus strain LC-705 and AFB sub(1) were stable under the luminal conditions for a period of 1 h.

The role of temporal heterogeneity as a structuring force for simple communities is investigated via models of phytoplankton with contrasting life histories competing for a single fluctuating resource. A stochastic model in which environmental and demographic stochasticity are treated separately is compared with a model with deterministic resource variation to assess the importance of stochasticity. When compared with the deterministic model, the stochastic model allows for coexistence over a wider range of parameter values (or life-history types). The model suggests that demographic stochasticity alone is far more important in increasing the possibility of coexistence than environmental stochasticity alone. However, the combined effects of both types of stochasticity produce the largest likelihood of coexistence. Finally, the influence of relative nutrient levels and nutrient pulse frequency on these results is addressed. We relate our findings to variable environment theory with evidence for both relative nonlinearity and the storage effect acting in this model. We show for the first time that temporal dynamics generated by demographic stochasticity may operate like the storage effect at particular spatial scales.

Water samples were taken from the estuary at various locations during both summer and winter. The samples were analysed for a range of parameters including iodate, iodide, total iodine, nutrients, chlorophyll a, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and salinity. Total iodine behaved conservatively within the estuary irrespective of season. Iodate concentrations varied linearly with salinity but became undetectable in the low salinity end of the estuary. Iodide concentrations showed no correlation with salinity, but showed a positive correlation with total dissolved phosphorus during summer suggesting iodide concentrations within the estuary are controlled by biological activity during, or immediately after, periods of high productivity. "Organic" iodine is produced within the estuary and the fraction of iodine present in this form increases in the low salinity waters where DOC concentrations are highest.

The key results of the interaction between the B and eastern Australian biotypes were reduced population increase, a marked increase in the proportion of male progeny, fewer eggs produced by females paired with males of different biotype and no difference in the numbers of eggs per unmated female and females paired with males of the same biotype. In addition, there was no change in the proportion of eggs hatching, mixed biotype pairs spent more time courting than single biotype pairs and a low level of hybridization in field cages and small containers was observed. These observations suggest three possibilities. The first is the `distracting male hypothesis' in which mating pairs made up of different biotypes apportion more time to courtship and less time to egg laying than single biotype pairs. The second invokes the `single-locus complementary sex determination model' in which the production of non-viable diploid male zygotes may explain the reduction in eggs laid. The third is cytoplasmic incompatibility between biotypes caused by Wolbachia. The results also suggest that the geographical distribution of clusters of related biotypes both overseas and in Australia may be explained by between-biotype interactions leading to the formation of parapatric populations.

The impact of the oligophagous capitulum weevil Larinus latus on seed production by its host Onopordum species was studied in its native range in order to assess its potential as a biological control agent of these thistles in Australia. 2. Field surveys in Greece during 1988-89 showed a strong positive relationship between attack levels of L. latus and seed destruction in Onopordum species Differences in attack levels were found between populations of different species, with heavier attack on those having larger capitula. 3. In the case of O. bracteatum, attack levels attained 100% with total seed destruction. More detailed studies at one location over a full season in 1991 confirmed that L. latus is the dominant capitulum insect, being responsible for the loss of 37% of seed, compared with 8% for the lepidopteran Homeosoma nebulella and 2% for the tephritid fly Tephritis postica. 4. A regression surface was produced that estimated seed loss in terms of capitulum size and number of developing L. latus larvae. This provides a tool for measuring overall population seed loss from easily measurable parameters. 5. While able to reduce seed production by Onopordum thistles severely in a single season, the longer-term impact of these weevils on their host-plant population dynamics may not be as great. Onopordum species have long-lived seed banks and thus escape in time will dampen the effects of high seed loss in any one year. Moreover, populations of L. latus are themselves subject to density-dependent regulatory processes that would further buffer the system. 6. This weevil was released in Australia in 1992 for the control of Onopordum thistles, and these findings suggest that L. latus would be most effective as part of a complementary guild of biological control agents.

I: Water balance AN - 17514184; 4704683 AB - This paper presents the results from a detailed field experiment of water movement on a border-irrigated bay in northern Victoria, Australia, an area characterized by shallow ground-water tables and salinization problems. The objective of the study was to quantify the impact of changes in irrigation management on salt and water movement within and from the bay and on recharge to the region's shallow ground-water table. Results showed that the evapotranspiration volume almost wholly explained the soil moisture changes between irrigation events and that deep drainage was negligible. Infiltration was mainly confined to the advanced stages of irrigation, with the soil rapidly becoming saturated across the bay, due to the presence of soil cracks. Such findings suggest that more efficient management of border irrigation supply to the bay will not lead to the lowering of the shallow ground-water table - conclusions that have important implications for irrigation management.

II: Salt transport AN - 17513029; 4704684 AB - This paper presents results from an experiment to measure the salt transport processes within a border-irrigated bay in northern Victoria, Australia, an area with shallow saline ground water and cracking soils. The overland flow and drainage salinity measurements showed that lateral surface washoff of salt from the soil surface was the main process of salt transport into surface water. Soil salinity measurements showed that, although salt was removed from the near-surface soil, there was negligible leaching downward through the profile. This was due to the near saturation of the soil, the presence of cracks that minimize the vertical leaching, as well as the lack of deep drainage of ground water. These findings highlight the importance of lateral washoff in the transfer of salt from irrigation bays, suggesting that reduction in irrigation event volumes is likely to reduce salt export and thus affect the sustainability of irrigation in this area.

Allelic richness and fixation coefficient were correlated with the log population size, suggesting that reduced population size is accompanied by genetic erosion, primarily due to a loss of rare (q < 0.1) alleles, and increased inbreeding. Comparative germination and growth studies of seed from five populations representing three different levels of inbreeding (low F = 0.34, medium F = 0.43, high F = 0.57) showed a significant reduction in percentage seed germination at 2 weeks in the single high F treatment population. There were no effects on survivorship and growth beyond this up until 141 days. Results suggest that polyploidy has not prevented erosion of genetic variation at the population level, as has previously been suggested. However, the production of partial heterozygotes, e.g. AABC and AAAB, under inbreeding may be mitigating inbreeding depression assuming a partial dominance model of gene expression. Conservation effort should concentrate on populations larger than 50 sexually reproductive plants, as these appear capable of maintaining high genetic diversity and exhibit no immediate evidence of inbreeding depression, despite some elevation of the fixation coefficient.

The projections about climate variability and climate change used in the assessments are described briefly, as is the inherent uncertainty. The current status and context of health in the US was examined to establish a baseline for projections of the potential impacts of climate/weather on health, and then these potential impacts were elucidated. These include: temperature-related illnesses and deaths; health effects related to storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and precipitation extremes; air-pollution-related health effects; water- and food-borne diseases; and vector- and rodent-borne diseases. Since the future vulnerability of the population to the health impact of climate change depends on the ability of adapt to adverse changes, adaptation/prevention strategies are considered briefly. Overall, the study found that most of the US population is protected at present against adverse health outcomes associated with climate change, although specific demographic and geographic populations are at increased risk.

The total inhaled dose of inhaled dust was 0.26 mg/mouse. Even though the cumulated dose was low, 6.6% of the inhaled dose remained in the lung 12 weeks after the end of the intoxication. The data showed that the mutant frequency in the lacI reporter gene increased during the fourth week after exposure.

Five steps were used in the risk estimation: calculation of the lifetime risk of leukemia due to smoking; determination of the leukemogenic potency of benzene; quantification of benzene dose for smokers at two levels of smoking; characterization of the low-dose risk of leukemia due to benzene in cigarette smoke; and comparison of the predicted lifetime leukemia risk due to benzene in cigarette smoke to the observed lifetime leukemia risk due to smoking. Life tables were constructed to calculate cumulative lifetime risk of dying from leukemia, stratified by smoking status. Results suggested that benzene was responsible for 848% of smoking-induced leukemia and for 1258% of smoking-induced acute myeloid leukemia.

The compounds studied were chlordane, trans-nonachlor, and Aroclor 1242. Treatment occurred at Stage 17, during the middle third of development. Results indicated that each of the compounds altered the male:female ratio compared to that of temperature controls. Aroclor 1242 lowered concentrations of testosterone in both males and females, and in males, the compound increased 17 beta -estradiol levels. Chlordane-treated females also exhibited lower testosterone, 5 alpha -dihydrotestosterone, and progesterone concentrations compared to controls. trans-Nonachlor did not affect circulating steroid hormone concentrations in either male or female turtles.

The main focus was on particulate matter (PM), but carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone were also considered. The mortality data were collected for the period 199597. PM sub(2.5) and PM sub(10) data were collected hourly, and the PM sub(2.5) constituents were determined. Results showed that PM sub(2.5) was correlated highly with CO and NO sub(2), but less so with SO sub(2). Significant associations were found between both total mortality and cardiovascular mortality, and CO and NO sub(2) at 0- and 1-d lags. Cardiovascular mortality was especially associated positively with CO, being significant for all five lag days. Significant associations were also found between mortality outcomes and particulate mass, with cardiovascular mortality showing a more consistent association with particulate mass concentrations than total mortality. Analysis of the PM sub(2.5) composition data revealed that elemental carbon and total C were significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality, while soil, sulfur, and lead were negatively associated with total mortality.

A sensitive and accurate method for quantifying ME in human serum was developed and used to quantify ME levels in a subset of adults in the general US population. The analytical method consisted of simple solid-phase extraction followed by highly specific analysis using isotope dilution gas chromatographyhigh-resolution mass spectrometry. The subjects had participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Results showed that exposure to ME in the US population was quite prevalent. The presence of substantial serum ME concentrations in fasting adults, coupled to the low concentrations in air and water, indicated that ME exposure was from a variety of sources.

The Czech study area was in the coal basin in the northwestern part of the country. Statistical analyses of the data revealed an increase in mortality associated with elevated levels of total suspended particulates lagged 2 d in the Czech region. The strongest association in the coal basin was observed between mortality caused by cancer and total suspended particulates. No such association was found in the rural German region. The association noted in the Czech Republic was consistent with that observed in the cities of western Europe and the US.

In this study, Cd and lead in blood and Fe status markers were examined in 21 nonsmoking subjects with hereditary hemochromatosis and compared with controls. The hereditary hemochromatosis subjects were being treated by phlebotomies. Results showed that blood Cd concentrations increased markedly with the increasing number of years of treatment by phlebotomy in subjects with hereditary hemochromatosis, which occurred independently of age and despite an approximately 510% reduction of the amount of Cd in blood with each phlebotomy treatment. This indicated that treatment, rather than the disease, was causing the increase in blood Cd compared to controls. Blood Pb exhibited a similar, but less pronounced, consequence of treatment.

The disability adjusted life-year (DALY) concept was used, which consists of the loss of healthy life years due to either premature mortality or morbidity. The approach was applied to a case study of ozonation of a hypothetical drinking-water supply using surface waters. Monte Carlo simulation was used to assess the uncertainty in the risk estimates, to account for biologic and seasonal variation in exposure and effects, and to accommodate uncertainty in parameter values. The drinking-water supply considered was typical for drinking waters in the Netherlands. The reduction of risk of infection with Cryptosporidium parvum by ozonation was compared to the concomitant increase in risk of renal cell cancer arising from the production of bromate. Results showed that the estimated health benefits of pathogen reduction outweighed the health losses by bromate formation. The advantages and disadvantages of the DALY approach are discussed.

The average drinking-water NO sub(3) concentrations were 26, 45, 95, 222, and 459 mg/l. Medical examinations were conducted to confirm the acute attack of respiratory tract infection, and blood samples were analyzed for methemoglobin and cytochrome b sub(5) reductase activity. Results showed a high correlation between methemoglobin and recurrent acute respiratory tract infections, but the correlations between recurrent acute respiratory tract infection and NO sub(3) in drinking water and cytochrome b sub(5) reductase activity were poor. However, the probable causeeffect relationship between high methemoglobin and recurrent acute respiratory tract infections was attributed to the ingestion and metabolism of NO sub(3).

Rationale: Oma inhibits simultaneously two enzymes involved in the formation/degradation of various vasoactive peptides: ACE and NEP.Material and Methods: Male SHRs were treated with Oma (100 μmol/kg/day) for 12 weeks (SHR + OMA, n = 17). As controls 18 SHR (SHR) receiving the vehicle were used. BP was measured twice a week. At the 12 th week, in 7 SHR + Oma and 8 SHR the Hemo parameters (Cardiac Index, Stroke Index and Total Peripheral Resistance - TPR) were determined by a thermodilution method. Upon animal sacrifice the left ventricle was weighted. In a second set 10 rats of each group were submitted to an euglicemic hyperinsulinemic clamp for glucose uptake and the IS determination.Results: Mean ± SEM, *p <0.05 vs control (See Table)Conclusion: In SHR, Omapatrilat lowers BP, and this effect is associated with an improvement in all systemic hemodynamic parameters, regression of LVH and enhancement in insulin sensitivity.

In contrast to most enrichment studies, algal diversity increased in enriched habitats relative to controls along with biomass - a result that may be explained by the low nutrient status of the region. Both the total number of faunal species and the total number of individuals were also significantly greater in enriched habitats, but the relationship between algal resources and faunal diversity did not support the resource heterogeneity hypothesis.

Mary, South Australia carry natural infestations of two tick species Aponomma hydrosauri and Amblyomma limbatum. In field experiments at two sites, 18 km apart, lizards with experimentally increased tick loads had smaller home ranges, moved shorter distances in a day, and were found basking more but moving less often than lizards from which ticks were experimentally removed. The results were consistent for adult lizards in two years, and for sub-adults in a third year. Laboratory trials showed that juvenile lizards that had tick infestations had lower sprint speeds than uninfested siblings, and that adults with tick infestations had less endurance than those that were uninfested. The results contrast with those of a previous survey that showed that lizards with high tick loads had greater body size and remained longer at a site, but indicate that there may be a balance, for lizards, between the fitness advantages in occupying habitats with high-quality resources, and the costs from parasites that also prefer those habitats.

AN - 70794999; 10602068 AB - The distribution of titanium [Ti] and chromium [Cr] in serum protein fractions of patients with and without total joint replacements containing Cr and Ti was studied. Three groups were evaluated: 10 patients with cobalt-chromium [CoCr] alloy prostheses and known elevated levels of Cr; 10 patients with Ti containing implants and known elevated levels of Ti; and 10 age matched controls without prostheses. Metal-protein binding was also examined by adding various concentrations of Cr(+3) (CrCl(3)) to control serum. Cr and Ti were bound to serum proteins within specific molecular weight ranges in both patient groups. Two molecular weight ranges were found to bind Cr (at approximately 70 and approximately 180 kDa) in patients with CoCr alloy prostheses, whereas a single molecular weight range (at approximately 70 kDa) was found to bind Ti in patients with Ti alloy implants. This metal-protein binding was reproduced in vitro by adding CrCl(3) at concentrations of approximately 100 and 1000 ppb Cr, which is orders of magnitude higher than that contained in the serum of patients with CoCr alloy implants ( approximately 3 ppb Cr). This suggests that protein binding is initiated in the periprosthetic space where metal concentrations are typically 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that observed systemically in the serum. In vitro, high molecular weight proteins including immunoglobulins demonstrated the highest affinity to Cr. Determination of specific protein carriers of metal degradation products is an essential component in the assessment of the long-term biological affects of total joint replacement devices.

AN - 62423614; ED440659 AB - Without understanding the value of collections as assets to the home institution, it is difficult for libraries to determine how best to make those assets most productive. This report describes how the Library of Congress developed and implemented a plan for greater accountability over its collections. The report presents a model for the management of library and archival collections, adaptable to any type of library that defines those collections as core assets and seeks to make them maximally productive while controlling risks to their integrity. The model focuses on business risk and proposes a framework of controls to minimize the risks that threaten the viability of those assets. The first section of the report defines business risk and discusses the origins of the risk-assessment model. The next section describes the risk-assessment process which includes creating an internal control framework identifying relevant controls, determining how to assess risk, conducting the risk assessment, addressing unacceptable risks, monitoring risk, and limitations on internal control. Finally, long-term benefits of risk assessment are outlined, with discussion on integrating technology and taking preventive action. The business risk model is fully described in the appendix.

OMB Circular A-133. AN - 62250689; ED460666 AB - This document is a supplement to Circular A-133 (1990) from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which extended the government's "single audit process" for agencies that administer federal financial assistance programs to higher education institutions and non-profit organizations. This supplement is based on the 1996 Amendments (the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 based on the Single Audit Act of 1984 which established requirements for audits of states, local governments, and Indian tribal governments that administer federal financial assistance programs) and the final revision of OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of Institutions of Higher Education and Other Non-Profit Organizations," which provide for the issuance of a compliance statement to assist auditors in performing the required audits. It identifies compliance requirements that the Federal government expects to be considered as part of an audit under the 1996 Amendments. It enables auditors to avoid time-consuming research into the requirements that must be met. The Supplement provides auditors with the federal program's objectives, procedures, and compliance requirements relevant to the audit as well as audit objectives and suggested audit procedures for determining compliance with these requirements. For single audits, the supplement replaces agency audit guides and other audit requirement documents for individual federal programs. The guide is divided into these sections: (1) "Background, Purpose, and Applicability"; (2) "Matrix of Compliance Requirements"; (3) "Compliance Requirements"; (4)"Agency Program Requirements"; (5) "Clusters of Programs"; (6) "Internal Control"; and (7) "Guidance for Auditing Programs Not Included in this Compliance Supplement." Part 4 lists specific requirements for many financial assistance programs of the U.S. Department of Education. Including Title I and TRIO programs, and part 5 contains guidance for Department of Education clusters of programs, including federal student loan programs such as the Perkins, Pell, and Direct Loan programs. Eight appendixes provide additional details, background information, and some internal reference materials.

AN - 21353781; 7683651 AB - The Harvard Southern California Chronic Ozone Exposure Study measured personal exposure to, and indoor and outdoor ozone concentrations of, approximately 200 elementary school children 6-12 years of age for 12 months (June 1995-May 1996). We selected two Southern California communities, Upland and several towns located in the San Bernardino mountains, because certain characteristics of those communities were believed to affect personal exposures. On 6 consecutive days during each study month, participant homes were monitored for indoor and outdoor ozone concentrations, and participating children wore a small passive ozone sampler to measure personal exposure. During each sampling period, the children recorded time-location-activity information in a diary. Ambient ozone concentration data were obtained from air quality monitoring stations in the study areas. We present ozone concentration data for the ozone season (June-September 1995 and May 1996) and the nonozone season (October 1995-April 1996). During the ozone season, outdoor and indoor concentrations and personal exposure averaged 48.2, 11.8, and 18.8 ppb in Upland and 60.1, 21.4, and 25.4 ppb in the mountain towns, respectively. During the nonozone season, outdoor and indoor concentrations and personal exposure averaged 21.1, 3.2, and 6.2 ppb in Upland, and 35.7, 2.8, and 5.7 ppb in the mountain towns, respectively. Personal exposure differed by community and sex, but not by age group.

AN - 21351178; 7683666 AB - Residents of the dense urban core neighborhoods of New York City (NYC) have expressed increasing concern about the potential human health impacts of diesel vehicle emissions. We measured concentrations of particulate matter [less than/equal to] 2.5 micro in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) and diesel exhaust particles (DEP) on sidewalks in Harlem, NYC, and tested whether spatial variations in concentrations were related to local diesel traffic density. Eight-hour (1000-1800 hr) air samples for PM(2.5 )and elemental carbon (EC) were collected for 5 days in July 1996 on sidewalks adjacent to four geographically distinct Harlem intersections. Samples were taken using portable monitors worn by study staff. Simultaneous traffic counts for diesel trucks, buses, cars, and pedestrians were carried out at each intersection on [Greater/equal to] 2 of the 5 sampling days. Eight-hour diesel vehicle counts ranged from 61 to 2,467 across the four sites. Mean concentrations of PM(2.5) exhibited only modest site-to-site variation (37-47 microg/m(3)), reflecting the importance of broader regional sources of PM(2.5). In contrast, EC concentrations varied 4-fold across sites (from 1.5 to 6 microg/m(3)), and were associated with bus and truck counts on adjacent streets and, at one site, with the presence of a bus depot. A high correlation (r = 0.95) was observed between EC concentrations measured analytically and a blackness measurement based on PM(2.5) filter reflectance, suggesting the utility of the latter as a surrogate measure of DEP in future community-based studies. These results show that local diesel sources in Harlem create spatial variations in sidewalk concentrations of DEP. The study also demonstrates the feasibility of a new paradigm for community-based research involving full and active partnership between academic scientists and community-based organizations.

AN - 21268047; 11703784 AB - Molecular epidemiology is a new and evolving area of research, combining laboratory measurement of internal dose, biologically effective dose, biologic effects, and influence of individual susceptibility with epidemiologic methodologies. Biomarkers evaluated were selected according to basic scheme: biomarkers of exposure--metabolites in urine, DNA adducts, protein adducts, and Comet assay parameters; biomarkers of effect--chromosomal aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, micronuclei, mutations in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase gene, and the activation of oncogenes coding for p53 or p21 proteins as measured on protein levels; biomarkers of susceptibility--genetic polymorphisms of genes CYP1A1, GSTM1, GSTT1, NAT2. DNA adducts measured by 32P-postlabeling are the biomarker of choice for the evaluation of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Protein adducts are useful as a biomarker for exposure to tobacco smoke (4-aminobiphenyl) or to smaller molecules such as acrylonitrile or 1,3-butadiene. Of the biomarkers of effect, the most common are cytogenetic end points. Epidemiologic studies support the use of chromosomal breakage as a relevant biomarker of cancer risk. The use of the Comet assay and methods analyzing oxidative DNA damage needs reliable validation for human biomonitoring. Until now there have not been sufficient data to interpret the relationship between genotypes, biomarkers of exposure, and biomarkers of effect for assessing the risk of human exposure to mutagens and carcinogens.

AN - 21258844; 11702225 AB - Major strides have been taken in the regulation of lead intoxication in the general population, but studies using genetic markers of susceptibility to environmental toxicants raise the question of whether genes can make certain individuals more vulnerable to environmental toxins such as lead. At least three polymorphic genes have been identified that potentially can influence the bioaccumulation and toxicokinetics of lead in humans. The first gene to be discussed in this review is the gene coding for delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), an enzyme of heme biosynthesis, that exists in two polymorphic forms. The resulting isozymes have been shown to affect the blood and bone lead levels in human populations. The effects of ALAD in lead intoxication have also been studied in laboratory mice that differ in the genetic dose for this enzyme. The second gene reviewed here is the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. The VDR is involved in calcium absorption through the gut and into calcium-rich tissues such as bone. Recent findings suggest that VDR polymorphism may influence the accumulation of lead in bone. Finally, the third gene to be discussed here that may influence the absorption of lead is the hemochromatosis gene coding for the HFE protein. The presence of mutations in the HFE gene leads to hemochromatosis in homozygotic individuals. Because of the associations between iron and lead transport, it is possible that polymorphisms in the HFE gene may also influence the absorption of lead, but this has not yet been studied. More studies will be needed to define the role of these genes in lead intoxication.

AN - 21256963; 11703785 AB - Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon in eutherian mammals that results in the differential expression of the paternally and maternally inherited alleles of a gene. Imprinted genes are necessary for normal mammalian development. This requirement has been proposed to have evolved because of an interparental genetic battle for the utilization of maternal resources during gestation and postnatally. The nonrandom requisite for monoallelic expression of a subset of genes has also resulted in the formation of susceptibility loci for neurobehavioral disorders, developmental disorders, and cancer. Since imprinting involves both cytosine methylation within CpG islands and changes in chromatin structure, imprinted genes are potential targets for dysregulation by epigenetic toxicants that modify DNA methylation and histone acetylation.

AN - 21256667; 11702227 AB - Exposure to noise constitutes a health risk. There is sufficient scientific evidence that noise exposure can induce hearing impairment, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, annoyance, sleep disturbance, and decreased school performance. For other effects such as changes in the immune system and birth defects, the evidence is limited. Most public health impacts of noise were already identified in the 1960s and noise abatement is less of a scientific but primarily a policy problem. A subject for further research is the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying noise-induced cardiovascular disorders and the relationship of noise with annoyance and nonacoustical factors modifying health outcomes. A high priority study subject is the effects of noise on children, including cognitive effects and their reversibility. Noise exposure is on the increase, especially in the general living environment, both in industrialized nations and in developing world regions. This implies that in the twenty-first century noise exposure will still be a major public health problem.

AN - 21251090; 11703782 AB - We update our 1997 publication by reviewing 29 new reports of tests of magnetic fields (MFs) in six different in vivo animal models of carcinogenesis: 2-year, lifetime, or multigeneration exposure studies in rats or mice; and promotion/progression models (rat mammary carcinoma, rat liver focus, mouse skin, several models of human leukemia/lymphoma in rats and mice, and brain cancer in rats). Individual experiments are evaluated using a set of data quality criteria, and summary judgments are made across multiple experiments by applying a criterion of rough reproducibility. The potential for carcinogenicity of MFs is discussed in light of the significant body of carcinogenesis data from animal bioassays that now exists. Excluding abstracts, approximately 80% of the 41 completed studies identified in this and our previous review roughly satisfy data quality criteria. Among these studies, the criterion for independent reproducibility is not satisfied for any positive results but is satisfied for negative results in chronic bioassays in rats and mice and for negative results in both promotion and co-promotion assays using the SENCAR mouse skin model. Results of independent replication studies using the rat mammary carcinoma model were conflicting. We conclude that long-term exposure to continuous 50- or 60-Hz MFs in the range of 0.002-5 mT is unlikely to result in carcinogenesis in rats or mice. Though results of most promotion/progression assays are negative, a weak promoting effect of MFs under certain exposure conditions cannot be ruled out based on available data.

AN - 21250993; 11703786 AB - An important public health challenge has been the need to protect children's health. To accomplish this goal, the scientific community needs scientifically based child-specific risk assessment methods. Critical to their development is the need to understand mechanisms underlying children's sensitivity to environmental toxicants. Risk is defined as the probability of adverse outcome and when applied to environmental risk assessment is usually defined as a function of both toxicity and exposure. To adequately evaluate the potential for enhanced health risks during development, both child-specific factors affecting toxicity and exposure need to be considered. In the first section of this article, example mechanisms of susceptibility relevant for toxicity assessment are identified and discussed. In the second section, examples of exposure factors that help define children's susceptibility are presented. Examples of pesticide research from the newly funded Child Health Center at the University of Washington will be given for illustration. The final section discusses the importance of putting these considerations of children's susceptibility into an overall framework for ascertaining relevancy for human risk assessment.

AN - 21250783; 11702226 AB - Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) produce toxins that may present a hazard for drinking water safety. These toxins (microcystins, nodularins, saxitoxins, anatoxin-a, anatoxin-a(s), cylindrospermopsin) are structurally diverse and their effects range from liver damage, including liver cancer, to neurotoxicity. The occurrence of cyanobacteria and their toxins in water bodies used for the production of drinking water poses a technical challenge for water utility managers. With respect to their removal in water treatment procedures, of the more than 60 microcystin congeners, microcystin-LR (L, L-leucine; R, L-arginine) is the best studied cyanobacterial toxin, whereas information for the other toxins is largely lacking. In response to the growing concern about nonlethal acute and chronic effects of microcystins, the World Health Organization has recently set a new provisional guideline value for microcystin-LR of 1.0 microg/L drinking water. This will lead to further efforts by water suppliers to develop effective treatment procedures to remove these toxins. Of the water treatment procedures discussed in this review, chlorination, possibly micro-/ultrafiltration, but especially ozonation are the most effective in destroying cyanobacteria and in removing microcystins. However, these treatments may not be sufficient during bloom situations or when a high organic load is present, and toxin levels should therefore be monitored during the water treatment process. In order to perform an adequate human risk assessment of microcystin exposure via drinking water, the issue of water treatment byproducts will have to be addressed in the future.

AN - 21249646; 11703783 AB - Sunscreens are ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-absorbing chemicals that attenuate the amount and nature of UVR reaching viable cells in the skin. They are selected and tested for their ability to prevent erythema. No sunscreen prevents photodamage, as it has been demonstrated that suberythemal doses of UVR cause a variety of molecular changes (including DNA damage) in these cells. Furthermore, the spectrum of UVR reaching viable cells is altered by topically applied sunscreen. In this review, the basic aspects of sunscreens and skin photobiology are reviewed briefly. Although there can be no question concerning the efficacy of sunscreens for the prevention of erythema, questions remain because of the possible cumulative effects of chronic suberythemal doses and the increased exposure of skin cells to longer UVR wavelengths. The current major issue surrounding sunscreens involves their ability to protect skin cells against the effects of UVA radiation. These UVA effects may be direct damage (base oxidations) or effects on the skin immune system, yet there is no uniformly accepted method for the evaluation of UVA protection. This review is focused primarily on the latter topic covering action spectra that implicate the need for UVA protection. In addition, in vivo and in vitro methods proposed for the evaluation of candidate sunscreen formulations of UVA protective ability are reviewed. Finally, revisions in the terminology used to describe the protection afforded by sunscreens are suggested. It is proposed that SPF ("sun" protection factor) be renamed "sunburn" protection factor and that "critical wavelength" be designated "long wave index."

A long-term monitoring programme was established in 1994 to assess the demographic parameters and survival prospects for the population. To date, Wandering Albatrosses have consistently shown a biennial breeding pattern with 95% of successful breeders returning to breed after two seasons. In 1998/99, 15 eggs were laid, more than has been recorded for the last two decades. Breeding success averages 56% but is highly variable, mainly attributable to variation in hatching success. Incubation averages 79-80 days, with shifts averaging almost nine days. Currently, the breeding population is estimated to be 20 pairs. In 1998/99, the age of the breeding birds of known age (26 of the 30 birds) ranged between 8 and 36 years (mean 16.5 years). The young age of recently recruited birds is suggestive of elevated mortality levels in the recent past. Determination of levels of survival over time are ongoing. The total population is estimated to be 65 birds.

The threatened albatrosses of Macquarie Island: Conservation and threats AN - 18929451; 5683321 AB - The population sizes of three of the four species of albatrosses breeding on Macquarie Island are amongst the smallest across the range of each species. Consequently they are extremely vulnerable to any influences which impact on their survival rates. Annual population monitoring started in 1994 has shown that for the biennial Wandering Albatrosses Diomedea exulans on average 11 eggs are laid each year, and for Grey-headed Albatrosses Thalassarche chrysostoma c. 73 eggs are laid each year. For the annually breeding Black-browed Albatrosses T. melanophrys 40 eggs are laid each year. Black-browed Albatrosses had the lowest mean breeding success of the three species over the five-year period with an average of 50% ( plus or minus 8.5%), whereas Grey-headed Albatrosses had the highest (58% plus or minus 11.1%) and Wandering Albatrosses the most variable (56% plus or minus 16.4%). Observations of trawling operations in the region show that individuals of all three species attend fishing activities. Initial results from satellite tracking the Thalassarche species show that foraging tracks during the brood period may also be extensive, with long-distance trips (to areas >1200 km from the island) ranging both east and south of the island. Attempts to assess the oceanic distribution of Wandering Albatrosses via miniature archival recorders have thus far failed due to equipment malfunction. The likely recent occurrence of illegal longline fishing operations in the region, as indicated by the examination of longline fishing equipment accumulating on the island coast, is cause for serious concern. Urgently required data for confident assessment of rates of adult survivorship and juvenile recruitment, and thus population status for all three species, are being compiled.

Following their exploitation in the 1800s, currently 12 250 pairs breed on three islands off Tasmania. Little attention was paid to the species until the 1980s when we initiated integrated studies of their ecology and the impacts of longline fishing. The at-sea distribution of breeding birds was examined by satellite telemetry whereas fishing effort and bycatch rates were both observed directly and derived from observer data. Breeding Shy Albatrosses consistently foraged over the shelf; however, the foraging grounds of the three populations were mutually exclusive. Dispersal of juveniles also showed population specificity. The consistent and exclusive distributions of adults, coupled with regional differences in bycatch rates, strongly indicate that the southern populations could be more seriously impacted by longline fishing. Foraging activity information from archival loggers and diet analyses showed that Shy Albatrosses take three main prey species from the upper 8 m of the water column, largely during the day. Birds do, however, significantly increase their activity at night during the full moon, a pattern consistent with when birds are killed on longlines. Such integrated observations have been critical for the development and the monitoring of mitigation measures. Although through the 1990s hundreds of 'Shy-type' albatrosses were killed annually in the Japanese and domestic tuna longline fisheries in Australian waters, similarities between Shy and New Zealand's White-capped T. steadi Albatrosses make it impossible to partition the catch rate between these two species. Current demographic and genetic studies will assist in completing the conservation profile of the Australian species, but accurate population assessments of White-capped Albatrosses are urgently required. This case-study outlines how simultaneously examining population and foraging ecology and the nature of mortality in longline fisheries can provide effective initiatives for more seabird-friendly fishing practices, such innovations being critically required for the conservation of albatrosses.

AN - 17757345; 4823078 AB - The efficiency of extraction of Agapetus larvae (Glossosomatidae: Trichoptera) from quantitative benthic samples was estimated by the use of two approaches: an indirect estimate based on the probability of missing a specimen in two scans of a sample (the two-count method) and a direct estimate derived by re-picking samples. Both approaches gave similar estimates for the probability of missing a specimen of a given size and both showed that this probability increased as size decreased; losses ranged from 6% to 30%. The two-count method thus provides a reliable way to compensate for these losses. Such corrections made little difference to conclusions concerning Agapetus population density, larval growth or secondary production derived from a previous study. However, when no corrections are applied, mortality estimates may be inaccurate if early instars are picked with less efficiency than later ones.

A non-conservative increase in concentration of suspended sediment of water in the vicinity of mid-estuary back-flow lagoons was associated with a decrease in the super(228)Th/ super(232)Th activity ratio (AR) of the suspended sediment. The lagoon sediment is characterized by a low estuarine super(228)Th/ super(232)Th signature, distinguishing it from freshwater suspended sediment recently delivered to the estuary, and identifying it as the likely source of the additional suspended sediment. Sediment-core super(210)Pb profiles show that the lagoons are accumulating sediment, presumably during high river-flow events. However this study indicates that during intervening periods of low flow, 40% of sediment deposited in the lagoons is subsequently resuspended and exported to the lower estuary, and possibly to the ocean. The utility of the super(228)Th/ super(232)Th AR to quantify sediment resuspension in estuaries is likely to be estuary-dependent, and is controlled by the extent of scavenging of dissolved super(228)Th by suspended particles.

Solutions therefore require action within both sectors if mitigation efforts are to be successful. Because albatrosses and petrels range widely and are impacted by longliners wherever they are found, nations must cooperate in their efforts to mitigate bycatch. Moreover, the growth in distant-water fishing requires cooperative national actions to be extended beyond jurisdictional boundaries and into the high seas. A capacity exists within fishing instruments to facilitate bycatch mitigation efforts on a regional basis. Future policy efforts should emphasize this capacity, both where it exists and as new regional fishery instruments are developed. An additional attraction of utilizing fisheries instruments to address bycatch is that it encourages the fishing sector to be responsible for mitigating the threats posed by longlining. It is also likely that measures adopted by fisheries bodies will be more actively promoted than those imposed through other mechanisms.

Pellet production rate, at excess food concentration, varied among food types, with a maximum rate of 3.2 pellets h super(-1) copepod super(-1) when copepods were fed on the diatom Skeletonema costatum, and a minimum of 1.5 when fed on the chlorophyte Chlamydomonas globosa. Pellet production rates may have reflected feeding prehistory and related effects on food preference and ingestion rates. Settling rates ranged from 2.0 m day super(-1) for pellets produced on the thecate dinoflagellate Scrippsiella sp. to 71.8 for pellets produced on S. costatum. The estimate of settling rate was strongly influenced by the method used to measure it and measure pellet density. Application of the laboratory results to average copepod densities in the Swan River estuary suggested a conservative estimate of production of 360 pellets L super(-1) day super(-1), or 8 mu g C and 1 mu g N, given appropriate food conditions. With a conservative estimate of settling rate at 6.3 m day super(-1), pellets would easily reach the sediments within a tidal cycle in many parts of the Swan River estuary.

In Australia, efforts at reducing particle emissions from wood fuelled heating appliances have proved successful, largely as a result of adoption of a standard method for measuring particle emissions. By quantifying emissions, manufactures have been able to design and build cleaner appliances, regulators have been able to restrict sales of poorly performing heaters, and consumers have reliable information for selecting clean burning models. The better heaters produce only one tenth the smoke of typical heaters seven years ago. This paper argues that development of an internationally accepted method for measuring smoke emissions from cookstoves could lead to large improvements in air quality and health in developing countries.

These formulated products were assayed at three doses in three glass-house experiments for biocontrol of damping-off diseases in Capsicum annuum. R. solani anastomosis group 4 or Pythium ultimum var. sporangiiferum were incorporated into pasteurized potting medium with each formulated binucleate Rhizoctonia product. All formulations were effective against both pathogens in at least two experiments, but some formulations of one isolate of binucleate Rhizoctonia did not give consistent control of R. solani in one experiment. The most consistent formulation, which provided control of both pathogens at all doses of binucleate Rhizoctonia, was the simple substrate of rice hulls. The implications for commercialization of a biocontrol product are discussed.

Twenty populations were sampled from throughout the geographic range of the species. Levels of genetic variation within most populations were lower than that observed in other lepidopteran species. The evidence suggests that this level of variation may have resulted from population bottlenecks and founder events following habitat fragmentation. Five distinct groups of S. plana populations have been identified which correspond closely with geographic location. One of these groups may be sufficiently different genetically to be regarded as a separate subspecies or race. These five groupings should be treated as separate units for conservation management.

If a sufficient volume of the aqueous solution passes through the capillary, the extraction reaches equilibrium. Studies using BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene compounds) in water, with collection and GC-flame ionization detection analysis of 100 mu L fractions of the aqueous solution collected from the capillary, enables a sorption profile to be generated. Boltzmann curves may be fitted to the sorption profile data and mathematical integration of the curves allows the estimation of the amount of solute sorbed by the capillary column. The extent or amount of the extraction is found to depend on parameters such as: the phase ratio of the stationary phase coated on the inner wall of the capillary; the extraction temperature; the linear velocity of the aqueous solution through the capillary; the total volume of the sorbing phase; and the original concentration of organic in water before extraction. Stationary phase type will also play a role in the extraction. Variation of the experimental factors, using BTEX extraction as a model system, allowed the derivation of an empirical equation to describe the extraction performance. With this equation it is possible to predict the minimum volume required to be passed through different types of capillary for different solutes to ensure equilibrium extraction. This volume corresponds to the onset of 100% breakthrough. Phenols were used to validate the approach using a polar capillary stationary phase. Experimental data agreed with predictions.

Intensive swine production, which is referred to as a confined animal feeding operation, is an important source of environmental pollution. The relationship between the location of hog confined animal feeding operations and poverty, the presence of nonwhites, and the percentage of households dependent on well water was studied, using geographic coordinates for the swine operations to locate the facilities within the boundaries of block groups. Information on race, poverty, and water source was obtained for 1990 census block groups. The two largest hog-producing counties were determined to be Duplin and Sampson Counties. The facilities were found to be located disproportionately in communities with higher levels of poverty, higher proportions of nonwhite persons, and higher dependence on wells for household water supply.

The birth data were compiled for the period 198294 in 36 maternity hospitals, and each of 80 industrial activities was used as an exposure factor. The mean socioeconomic level in each county was established through a social deprivation index. Results showed that, for nine of the 34 congenital anomalies considered, there was a significant risk from exposure to one or more specific industrial activities. For these nine anomalies, seven significant associations were identified between exposure and an increase in the birth prevalence rate for the indicated anomaly by county. The birth prevalence rate of anencephaly was associated with textile manufacturing, while the prevalence of microcephaly was associated with the manufacture of engines and turbines.

Various concentrations of the compounds were microinjected into the yolk of eyed embryos. Results showed that early life states of salmonids were more sensitive to o,p'-DDE and chlordecone than older fish, and lethality ranged 414 d in fry injected ip. Injection also caused a dose-independent decrease in androgen production by males. At o,p'-DDE concentrations of 80 and 160 mg/kg, the male-to-female ratio was increased, but sexual development was not altered in monosex exposures.

The method used to derive the minimum risk level was the no-observed-adverse-effect-level approach. An alternative approach for determining minimum risk levels is the benchmark dose, which is the dose that corresponds to a specified level of additional response called the benchmark response. The benchmark dose is calculated by fitting a mathematical doseresponse model to the data. Here, a benchmark analysis is presented of the Seychelles data. The methodology is outlined following a brief summary of the Seychelles study. Results show that the benchmark dose levels obtained from the continuous data using the Weibull, logistic, and k-power models are similar. However, the benchmark dose levels based on quantal data are consistently smaller than those based on the corresponding continuous data. The average value of the benchmark dose level for MeHg is calculated at 25 ppm, with a range of 1930 ppm.

Organochlorine concentrations in breast milk fat were used as an index of in utero exposure. Of the organochlorines considered, concentrations in breast milk were highest for p,p'-DDE followed by PCBs, hexachlorobenzene, dieldrin, and mirex. The most frequent health problem among newborns was acute otitis media, but the frequency of occurrence was similar among breast-fed and nonbreast-fed infants. Breast-fed infants contracted fewer pulmonary infections than bottle-fed infants. At three months of age, concentrations of white blood cells and lymphocytes were lower in blood samples from breast-fed babies compared to those from bottle-fed babies. None of the immunology parameters, however, was associated with prenatal organochlorine exposure, but associations with otitis media were most consistent with exposure to p,p'-DDE and hexachlorobenzene.

In this study, fertilized eggs of the d-rR strain were microinjected with o,p'-DDT, and male-to-female sex reversal was monitored. o,p'-DDT concentrations were 19.6, 33, 227, 580, and 1079 ng/egg. Ten weeks after hatching, fish were examined for pigmentation to determine genotype and for secondary sexual characteristics to determine phenotype. Results showed complete, permanent, and functional male-to-female sex reversal after a one-time exposure to o,p'-DDT. The reversal in phenotype observed in either genotypic males or females occurred at o,p'-DDT concentrations of 227 ng/egg and higher. In all fish examined, the sexual phenotype determined by external secondary sexual characteristics matched the phenotypic sex determined by gonad histology.

Hypoxia is part of a series of ecosystem responses to declines in water quality, caused when stratification occurs that separates oxygen-rich upper layers of water from lower, less-oxygenated layers. Subsequently, hypoxia-related changes in benthic communities can affect marine life in diverse waters. Anthropogenic nutrient loading, which is the primary cause of hypoxia in coastal waters, is also thought to be contributing to the global increase in the frequency, size, and duration of harmful algal blooms, which can alter the function of coastal ecosystems and potentially threaten human health. Scientists suggest that, in the Gulf of Mexico, water quality and hypoxia could worsen even if nutrient inputs do not increase because of changing weather patterns, temperature, and precipitation.

The breath measurements incorporated exposures before work as well as during breaks for lunch and errands. Results revealed measurable exposure to JP-8 jet fuel vapors and exhaust. Highest overall exposures to JP-8 alkanes were experienced by fuel system maintenance workers. When only nonsmoking personnel were considered, aircraft exhaust exposure was very significant in terms of elevating benzene levels.

Sixteen isolates were artificially inoculated on 12-month-old seedlings of two major plantation species, E. nitens and E. globulus. The majority of isolates produced lesions on both host species that were significantly different in size to those in non-inoculated seedlings and were not callused-over at 7 months after inoculation. Seedling mortality was negligible. Certain isolates originating from various regions in mainland Australia and from the Tewkesbury site appeared more pathogenic although differences in lesion size between isolates was not always significant. Only one out of seven isolates from Tewkesbury demonstrated significantly higher levels of pathogenicity than all other isolates although there was a trend for isolates from this site to cause greater lesions in size. It is, however, unlikely that the epidemic caused by E. gyrosa at Tewkesbury, even though of far greater impact than previousiy observed on plantations in Australia, is solely the consequence of more pathogenic strains. This conclusion does not exclude the possibility that more pathogenic strains of an opportunist pathogen such as E. gyrosa could have played some determinant role in epidemic development.

Surprisingly, these data (495 bp) were identical for O. stellarum isolated from the testes of Asterias amurensis from Japan; Pisaster ochraceus from British Columbia, Canada; Asterias rubens from The Netherlands; and Asterias vulgaris from Prince Edward Island, Canada. These sequence data were compared to those from 3 scuticociliates which parasitise crustaceans: Mesanophrys pugettensis, M. chesapeakensis and Anophryoides haemophila. No difference was found in this region between the nucleotide sequence of M. pugettensis and M. chesapeakensis. The sequence of Mesanophrys spp. differed by 9.2% in the ITS1 and 4.7% in the ITS2 from that of O. stellarum. The sequence from the ITS1 (135 bp) and ITS2 (233 bp) of A. haemophila differed by 42.6 and 20.5% respectively from those of O. stellarum. Therefore, nucleotide sequence of the ITS regions in these scuticociliates is highly conserved.

Soil samples were used in conjunction with a digital elevation model and a map of potentially saline discharge zones to examine the landscape distribution of soluble salts in the region. The hypothesis of atmospheric accession of salt was tested for the topographically defined catchment regions feeding into each potentially saline discharge area. Most catchments showed a salt distribution consistent with this hypothesis, i.e. %TSS was large near the discharge areas and decreased rapidly with distance uphill from the discharge areas. In some catchments, however, local saline outbreaks were apparent at significant distances uphill from discharge areas. The possibility of geological sources of this salt was examined by comparing random point distributions with the location of saline points with distance downhill from geological units (excluding points near discharge zones). The distribution of some saline outbreaks was consistent with the occurrence of Cambro-Ordovician metasediments, Devonian limestone, Upper Devonian-Lower Carboniferous volcanics, and Triassic sediments.

AN - 14607112; 10613814 AB - The amount of methane contained in hydrate deposits is enormous, but it is likely that much of the hydrate occurs in low concentrations with little commercial potential. While hydrate deposits are estimated to contain a much greater amount of natural gas than conventional accumulations, there is no practical and environmentally safe way to produce the gas. Destabilization of hydrates with uncontrolled release of large methane volumes poses a significant hazard. Recent Congressional action intended to authorize an interagency R&D program to develop methane hydrate resources is summarized.

The model is shown to exhibit sizeable decadal variability for these fields, generally accounting for approximately 20 to 40% of the variability (greater than one year) in precipitation and up to 80% for temperature. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is applied to the model output to show some of the major statistical modes of low frequency variability. The first EOF spatial pattern looks very much like that of the interannual ENSO pattern. It bears considerable resemblance to observational estimates and is centred in the Pacific extending into both hemispheres. It modulates both precipitation and temperature globally. The EOF has a time evolution that appears to be more than just red noise. Finally, the link between SST in the Pacific with Australian rainfall variability seen in observations is also evident in the model.

AN - 70934084; 10696796 AB - Toxic effects of cadmium on liver, kidney, lung, and testes have been well established in experimental animals and in cell model systems. However, little is known about the effect of cadmium on pancreas, though the pancreas has been reported to accumulate high concentrations of cadmium. Therefore, in this study we examined the effects of cadmium on the pancreas of mice. A single sc injection of 1 mg Cd/kg to mice had no obvious toxic effects on the liver, kidney, and pancreas at both 1 and 5 days after cadmium treatment. Within the pancreas, however, the activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase A were significantly decreased at 1 day after cadmium treatment, whereas the activity of carboxypeptidase B was not changed. All pancreatic enzyme activities returned to the control levels by 5 days after cadmium treatment. The concentrations of cadmium in pancreas were very similar at 1 and 5 days after cadmium treatment, indicating a stable deposition of the metal. The concentration of zinc in pancreas was markedly increased at 5 days after cadmium treatment. In order to more fully examine the inhibitory effects of cadmium on these protease activities in pancreas, the direct effects of cadmium on purified proteases were studied in vitro. Contrary to the results in vivo, cadmium increased the activity of purified trypsin in a concentration-dependent manner. Consistent with the in vivo results, the activity of purified carboxypeptidase A was decreased by cadmium treatment in a concentration-dependent fashion in vitro. The activities of chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase B did not change by the cadmium exposure in vitro. The enhanced activity of trypsin by cadmium was returned to the control levels by subsequent treatment with EDTA, indicating that enhancement was reversible. In addition, the zinc normally contained in purified carboxypeptidase A and carboxypeptidase B was released by the cadmium treatment. These results indicate that cadmium inhibits protease activities within the pancreas in vivo at doses that do not induce overt hepatic, renal, or pancreatic toxicity. Based on in vitro study, the decreases seen in trypsin and chymotrypsin activities might be based on indirect effects of cadmium, whereas the decreases in carboxypeptidase A are probably due to the direct inhibition by the metal.

Insights from transgenic plants with reduced amounts of cytochrome b/f complex or glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. AN - 70912985; 10677442 AB - Leaf metabolites, adenylates, and Rubisco activation were studied in two transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv W38) types. Plants with reduced amounts of cytochrome b/f complex (anti-b/f) have impaired electron transport and a low transthylakoid pH gradient that restrict ATP and NADPH synthesis. Plants with reduced glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (anti-GAPDH) have a decreased capacity to use ATP and NADPH in carbon assimilation. The activation of the chloroplast NADP-malate dehydrogenase decreased in anti-b/f plants, indicating a low NADPH/NADP(+) ratio. The whole-leaf ATP/ADP in anti-b/f plants was similar to wild type, while it increased in anti-GAPDH plants. In both plant types, the CO(2) assimilation rates decreased with decreasing ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate concentrations. In anti-b/f plants, CO(2) assimilation was further compromised by reduced carbamylation of Rubisco, whereas in anti-GAPDH plants the carbamylation remained high even at subsaturating ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate concentrations. We propose that the low carbamylation in anti-b/f plants is due to reduced activity of Rubisco activase. The results suggest that light modulation of activase is not directly mediated via the electron transport rate or stromal ATP/ADP, but some other manifestation of the balance between electron transport and the consumption of its products. Possibilities include the transthylakoid pH gradient and the reduction state of the acceptor side of photosystem I and/or the degree of reduction of the thioredoxin pathway.

Males had slightly larger home-range areas than females. Home-range size was highly variable (0.0002-8.024 ha) but could not be predicted from body size or body condition in males and females, or by whether females were breeding. Mice were site-attached during the breeding season, with extensive intersexual overlap of home ranges but variable intrasexual overlap. Home ranges were significantly larger during the nonbreeding season compared with the breeding season. Evidence existed for exclusive home-range use by females at all densities of mice, low to moderate home-range overlap for males when densities were low and increasing, and an apparent switch to a more gregarious phase in male mice when the breeding season ceased and densities were high. Nonbreeding mice seemed to be nomadic when densities were low, which is consistent with an earlier study of home ranges and social organization of mice on the Darling Downs, Queensland.

A comparison of domestic and international market model betas, favours the domestic risk measures, although the international counterparts are generally statistically significant relative to a world market index. Furthermore, the international betas seem to display greater instability than the domestic beta estimates. Tests are made to determine whether business cycles, both domestic and international, impact upon stock returns, via changes in the estimated domestic beta. Generally, it is found that business cycles are important and that the US business cycle has a much larger impact on the equity betas of industry portfolios, than does the Australian business cycle. Finally, it is found that interactions between the business cycles of Australia and the United States, have an impact on the beta risk for many industries.

AN - 17650466; 4699456 AB - Extinction and artificial reduction in the size of geographical ranges of many species have occurred extensively across the globe because of human activities. In particular, Australian mammals have suffered heavily in the last two hundred years, with the highest number of reported cases of mammal extinctions anywhere. In the present study, we investigated the extent to which human impact has affected contemporary macroecological patterns in Australian terrestrial mammals. After examining patterns relating to body size and range size among the contemporary mammal fauna, we removed the effects of the last two hundred years of human impact by exploring patterns in the pre-European assemblage. This permitted us to determine whether contemporary macroecological patterns are distortions of pre-European patterns. In contrast to the expected pattern of a significant positive relationship between body size and range size, our results showed no significant association for the complete fauna in both cross-species and phylogenetic analyses, even when data were corrected for species extinctions and range reductions. Analyses within families and among species with the same dietary strategy revealed three significant positive relationships (Macropodidae, Peramelidae, and herbivores) and one significant negative relationship (insectivores) within the contemporary assemblage that disappeared when the pre-European assemblage was analysed. A positive relationship also emerged in the pre-European assemblage for the Vombatidae that was not apparent in the contemporary fauna. Thus, correcting for human impact revealed important distortions among contemporary macroecological relationships that have been brought about by human-induced range reduction and extinction. These findings not only provide further evidence that the Australian continent presents a unique and valuable opportunity with which to test the generality of macroecological patterns, but they also have important ramifications for the analysis and interpretation of contemporary macroecological datasets.

This observation may provide a molecular basis for p53-mediated gene therapy of p53-sensitive cancers without the need for tumor targeting. To understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for this different behavior in tumor versus normal cells, biochemical and functional analyses of exogenous wt-p53 protein were performed on non-transformed C sub(2)C sub(12) myoblasts and their transformed counterparts, the C sub(2)-ras cells. The exogenous wt-p53 protein, which induced persistent growth arrest only in transformed C sub(2)-ras cells, was shown to be significantly more stable in transformed than in non-transformed cells. This different stability was due to different p53 proteolytic degradation. Moreover, constitutively, exogenous wt-p53 protein was found to be transcriptionally active only in C sub(2)-ras cells but it could also be activated in C sub(2)C sub(12) cells by genotoxic damage. Non-transformed C sub(2)C sub(12) cells present regulatory system(s) which control the expression and the activity of exogenously expressed wt-p53 protein probably through degradation and maintenance in a latent form. This regulatory system is lost/inactivated upon transformation.

This paper examines the production and removal of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), mainly acetic acid, and other hydrolyzed products from sludge using hydrothermal treatment at subcritical (374 degree C) temperatures. Subcritical water oxidation (SubCWO) achieved effective hydrolysis (>95% as COD) of the sludge organic solids but incomplete oxidation (99% as COD) of the organic component of sludge, including oxidation of hydrolysis products, was achieved using supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Accordingly, hydrothermal treatment using SubCWO and SCWO can provide a useful sludge management option, combining sludge mass and volume reduction with the production of useful organic matter to support biological nutrient removal.

Tests of the effectiveness of rhizobia isolated from several common Acacia species showed significant variation among host populations in plant growth but no indication that plant performance depended on which Acacia species the rhizobial isolate was derived from. Variation in effectiveness was primarily between rhizobial isolates within a host species rather than across rhizobial isolates from different hosts. No interactions were found between host population, host origin of rhizobial strain and rhizobial isolate. 2. A study using a range of less common Acacia species showed significant variation in performance of several species (A. silvestris, A. nano-dealbata, A. trachyphloia, A. filicifolia, A. leucoclada) as a function of the inoculating rhizobial strain; two other species (A. cangaiensis, A. glaucocarpa) were marginally non-significant. For A. filicifolia and A. silvestris, growth was significantly better when plants were inoculated with their own isolates vs. those from other host species. 3. Comparisons of the performance of a third set of Acacia species found that several common species (A. melanoxylon, A. mearnsii, A. irrorata, A. binervata) varied little in their response to particular rhizobial isolates; for these species, most host-rhizobial combinations resulted in similar growth responses. Several less common species showed significant variation in performance across the rhizobial isolates tested. 4. Preliminary investigations of host specificity among legume genera showed significant variation with respect to host performance as a function of the rhizobial isolate with which plants were inoculated. Some species (e.g. A. mearnsii and Indigofera australis) were variable in their responses, while others (e.g. Hardenbergia violacea and A. melanoxylon) performed well with most isolates. 5. A comparison of the effectiveness of several Acacia-derived strains on their own hosts vs. their effectiveness on the other legume genera in the study showed that, in general, the Acacia strains performed well on other genera. However, on some host species (e.g. I. australis) the Acacia strains were less effective than the Indigofera strains, suggesting some host specificity. 6. While there was a general correlation at the among-species level in Acacia-rhizobia interactions (i.e. isolates that performed well on one host species often performed well on others), growth performance with any particular host-rhizobial combination was more difficult to predict than within-species comparisons. Our data also suggest that, at least for the genus Acacia, rare species are likely to exhibit a greater degree of host specificity than hosts that are widely distributed, and re-establishment may require special attention with respect to rhizobial strains that are used. 7. Overall, these results have clear implications for applied projects focused on the restoration of degraded habitats or abandoned farmland.

To explore this topic, macrorestriction patterns of S. aureus strains were analyzed after SmaI and SgrAI digestion. The two enzymes provided superimposable results. A total of ninety-seven S. aureus strains was found in the 26 families whose lesions and nasal and pharyngeal samples were examined. There were 39 strains which were different by PFGE, and of these, 24 were found in the lesions. Although 85% of impetigo patients showed nasal colonization and 58% showed pharyngeal colonization, only 54% of the patients had the same PFGE strain in the lesion and in the nose, and 35% in the lesion and the pharynx. In half of the 26 families, at least one member (mother, father, or relative) presented a S. aureus strain identical, by PFGE, to strains isolated in patients' lesions. Nineteen percent of mothers, 15% of fathers, and 19% of the other relatives presented nasal colonization with strains identical to those isolated in the children's lesions. Lesional strains showed higher antimicrobial resistance than nonlesional isolates.

AN - 17509569; 4690693 AB - True recognition of kin can have important fitness consequences in terms of directing altruistic behaviours toward close relatives (nepotism) and avoiding inbreeding. However, recent evidence suggests that some social insect species cannot or do not distinguish their closest relatives from among nestmates in important fitness-based contexts. Such findings are relevant to kin selection theories where individuals are expected to preferentially rear close relatives in order to gain inclusive fitness benefits. Here, allozyme markers are used to examine whether female Exoneura robusta individuals preferentially nest with their closest kin when given a choice of familiar previous nestmates. The results suggest these bees do not prefer kin over non-kin nestmates. Kin associations during nest founding in this species are probably due to philopatry and/or association with previously familiar nestmates.

We tested whether the inability to form nodules in the mature root is due to a lack of plant flavonoids to induce the bacterial genes required for nodulation or a failure of mature cortical cells to respond to Rhizobium spp. When rhizobia were inoculated in the zone of emerging root hairs, changes in beta -glucuronidase (GUS) expression from an auxin-responsive promoter (GH3), expression from three chalcone synthase promoters, and the accumulation of specific flavonoid compounds occurred in cortical cells prior to nodule formation. Rhizobia failed to induce these responses when inoculated in the mature root, even when co-inoculated with nod gene-inducing flavonoids. However, mature root hairs remained responsive to rhizobia and could support infection thread formation. This suggests that a deficiency in signal transduction is the reason for nodulation failure in the mature root. However, nodules could be initiated in the mature root at sites of lateral root emergence. A comparison between lateral root and nodule formation showed that similar patterns of GH3:gusA expression, chalcone synthase gene expression, and accumulation of a particular flavonoid compound occurred in the cortical cells involved in both processes. The results suggest that rhizobia can "hijack" cortical cells next to lateral root emergence sites because some of the early responses required for nodule formation have already been activated by the plant in those cells.

The initial study was conducted in Jersey City, NJ. The data were examined for seasonality by plotting blood Pb concentrations with corresponding outdoor and indoor average temperatures. Blood Pb concentrations were found to be highest during hot weather, followed by warm, cool, and cold seasons. Lead concentrations were highest during the hot season for floor, windowsill, and carpet dust samples, but the differences among seasons were not significant. Almost two-thirds of the Pb in house dust appeared to be derived from outdoor sources. Lead loading on windowsills and floors was correlated well with children's blood Pb concentration, but dust Pb concentration in carpet was correlated best with blood Pb concentration.

The blood samples were analyzed for PCBs. Analysis of the data revealed that the fish-eating subjects continued to have elevated PCB levels compared with nonfish-eaters. The overall average serum PCB concentration was 14.26 ppb 1315 yr after initial enrollment in the cohort. The total serum PCB level for the 22 most-prevalent congener peaks was only slightly lower than that for all 90 congener peaks. Congeners number 138/163, 180, and 153 accounted for 55 and 64% of the total PCBs among fish- and nonfish-eaters, respectively.

A registry of exposed individuals was established subsequently in 1976. In this study, the decay of PBB in the serum of women from the Michigan cohort was examined to determine possible factors associated with elimination. A total of 380 females was included in the study. Results showed that 29% of the women had no reduction in serum PBB over time, spread relatively evenly over various initial PBB levels. The decay rate was slower with higher initial PBB levels. Polybrominated biphenyl decay was slower and was inversely related to number of pregnancies, but no significant change in decay estimate was observed with age, smoking history, or breast-feeding duration. The median PBB half-life was 13.5 yr.

The data covered the period from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s. Twenty districts were selected, which had different combinations of reported tick density in the 1990s and percent changes in tick occurrence over time. Daily minimum temperatures were obtained for the periods 197981 and 199193. Discriminate analysis of the data revealed that the reported northward shift of the northern distribution limit between the two time period was related to fewer days with temperatures below -12 degree C during the winter. Areas with higher tick abundance were also characterized by more warm nights in late spring and early autumn, and fewer cold winter days.

The cells were exposed to a 1.5-G 50-Hz magnetic field, and intracellular Ca was determined through changes in fluorescence of the ratiometric dye, fura-2, using a fluorescence microscopy imaging system. The study protocol mimicked that of Lindstrom et al. In 8085% of the Jurkat cells examined, intracellular free Ca increased shortly after the introduction of the magnetic field and returned to pre-exposure levels when the field was turned off. The high response rate obtained by Lindstrom et al., however, was not found.

Maternal exposures in each trimester of pregnancy were calculated for outdoor sulfur dioxide, total suspended particulates, and nitrogen oxides, which were estimated as the arithmetic means of all 24-h measurements by all monitors in the district of birth of each infant. The prevalence of low birth weight was 5.2%, and it was associated significantly with SO sub(2), somewhat less strongly with total suspended particulates, and not at all with NO sub(x). No significant associations were found between pollutant concentrations and intrauterine growth retardation. The effects of both SO sub(2) and total suspended particulates on both low birth weight and prematurity were strongest for exposures in the first trimester. Exposure to SO sub(2) was also strong in the third trimester in terms of low birth weight.

In addition, the translocation of phosphatidylserines to the external cell surface was measured over time. The mesothelial cells were treated with a nontoxic concentration of crocidolite asbestos. The results revealed two different phases of electrorotation spectra after treatment. The first phase, which was detectable after 12 h and lasted approximately 18 h, was characterized by an impairment of the membrane charge carrier transposition system followed by an increased interior conductivity and decreased membrane conductivity. The second phase, which occurred after more than 30 h of exposure, exhibited a decreased internal conductivity and an increased membrane conductivity, which was interpreted as a result of permeabilization of the plasma membrane and leakage of ions into the surrounding medium. The number of crocidolite-treated mesothelial cells with an increased level of phosphatidylserines on the cell surface increased rapidly after a longer exposure time, but early changes were observed within a few hours of exposure.

The compounds of interest were 4-tert-octylphenol, bisphenol A, o,p'-DDT, and o,p'-DDE. The experimental protocol is detailed. Results showed that 4-tert-octylphenol, o,p'-DDT, and bisphenol A were able to induce beta -galactosidase activity, which required dimerization of the two human estrogen receptor fusion proteins to reconstitute the GAL4 DNA binding protein. Results from the RS188N yeast showed that the estrogen receptor dimers formed in the presence of these compounds were able to induce transcription of an estrogen response element-dependent gene. The activity of the transcriptionally active estrogen receptor dimer was enhanced further in the presence of the estrogen receptor coactivator, the receptor interacting protein 140 (RIP140).

AN - 14536023; 10584993 AB - The connection between particulate matter and mortality remains controversial, despite quite a large number of epidemiologic studies. The variability in the study findings could be a function of site-specific differences, analytical decisions, or random variation. Results are presented from a screening analysis of the possible causes of this variability, which involved the application of random effects models to stratifications of study estimates. Confounders were evaluated in a multivariate context using empirical Bayes meta-analysis, involving the use of a two-stage hierarchical linear model to provide posterior site-specific estimates using information from all studies. These estimates were then used to determine the mortality impacts directly attributable to particulate matter and to estimate the expected effects in new settings. The results show that, for a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in particulate matter concentration, mortality rates increased by approximately 0.7%.

The time trend of perinatal mortality was modeled, allowing for special effects of certain years. Perinatal deaths included stillbirths plus infants born alive but who died within 7 d. Three standard regression techniques were used. The results showed a significantly elevated perinatal mortality proportion in 1987. Also found was a significant relationship between stillbirths in 1987 and some in 1988 and cesium-137 contamination in 1986 on a regional level in Bavaria, which was the most highly contaminated part of Germany. Combining Bavaria, East Germany, and West Berlin yielded further significant results for perinatal deaths and stillbirths in 1987 or 1988.

However, two other data sets, the Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers and a survey of nuclear workers, have found that low radiation doses can result in cancer risk that is much greater than the estimates based on the atomic bomb survivors. The data sets are summarized, showing that the atomic bomb data set is biased in favor of exceptionally low levels of radiosensitivity.

Reasons for areas being protected from harvesting include conservation, tourism, research, protection of breeding grounds, stock recovery, harvest regulation, or habitat that is uneconomical to exploit. In this paper we consider the problem of optimally exploiting a single species local population that is connected by dispersing larvae to an unharvested local population. We define a spatially-explicit population dynamics model and apply dynamic optimization techniques to determine policies for harvesting the exploited patch. We then consider how reservation affects yield and spawning stock abundance when compared to policies that have not recognised the spatial structure of the metapopulation. Comparisons of harvest strategies between an exploited metapopulation with and without a harvest refuge are also made. Results show that in a 2 local population metapopulation with unidirectional larval transfer, the optimal exploitation of the harvested population should be conducted as if it were independent of the reserved population. Numerical examples suggest that relative source populations should be exploited if the objective is to maximise spawning stock abundance within a harvested metapopulation that includes a protected local population. However, this strategy can markedly reduce yield over a sink harvested reserve system and may require strict regulation for conservation goals to be realised. If exchange rates are high, results indicate that spawning stock abundance can be less in a reserve system than in a fully exploited metapopulation. In order to maximise economic gain in the reserve system, results indicate that relative sink populations should be harvested. Depending on transfer levels, loss in harvest through reservation can be minimal, and is likely to be compensated by the potential environmental and economic benefits of the reserve.

Error in predicted hydraulic properties was identified through examination of outputs from the SWIM soil water simulation model. The variability in these outputs arose solely from error in prediction of the soil hydraulic properties. The simulation scenario was the determination of drainage and evapotranspiration over 5-years from a perennial pasture in southern Victoria, Australia. The functional evaluation considered hydraulic conductivity as a function of water content (K( theta )) being independent of error in theta ( psi ) prediction, as well as K( theta ) being estimated from predicted theta ( psi ) data. Inaccurate hydraulic property prediction caused error in drainage calculation approximately equal and opposite to that for evapotranspiration whilst profile water storage was almost unaffected. Water balance error resulting from the two-point method of theta ( psi ) prediction was small with simulated drainage less than 4 mm/year different, on average, from that generated using measured theta ( psi ) data. The two-point method will be sufficiently accurate for many simulation applications and the one-point method is a useful alternative. The multiple regression equations, which do not use measured hydraulic property inputs, were the least accurate of the three methods of theta ( psi ) prediction and should be applied with caution. When K( theta ) was estimated using theta ( psi ) data generated with the multiple regression method the hydraulic property specification was sufficiently imprecise to cause large additional error in drainage prediction. Functional sensitivity analysis is useful for assessing pedotransfer functions and for determining the accuracy and precision required in hydraulic characterization surveys.

We have found that Cys super(232) of human alpha sub(1)PI was readily S-nitrosylated by nitric oxide (NO) without affecting inhibitory activity to trypsin or elastase. S-nitrosylated alpha sub(1)PI (S-NO- alpha sub(1)PI) not only retained inhibitory activity against these serine proteases, but also gained thiol protease inhibitory activity against a Streptococcus pyogenes protease; the parental alpha sub(1)PI did not have this activity. Furthermore, S-NO- alpha sub(1)PI exhibited bacteriostatic activity against Salmonella typhimurium at concentrations of 0.1-10 mu M, which were 20- to 3000-fold stronger than those of the other NO-generating compounds or S-nitroso compounds such as S-nitrosoalbumin and S-nitrosoglutathione. NO appears to be transferred into the bacterial cells from S-NO- alpha sub(1)PI via transnitrosylation, as evidenced by electron spin resonance spectroscopy with an NO spin trap. Thus, we conclude that S-NO- alpha sub(1)PI may be generated from the reaction between alpha sub(1)PI and NO under inflammatory conditions, in which production of both is known to increase. As a result, new functions, i.e., antibacterial and thiol protease inhibitory activities of alpha sub(1)PI, were generated. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

The river originates in coastal ranges of Late Paleozoic age, crosses a floodplain developed during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene sea-level fluctuations and flows into the southern part of the Moreton Bay. The formation of sedimentary pyrite associated with the mid-Holocene transgression is an important feature of this coastal setting. The oxidation and hydrolysis of pyrite and the consequent production of sulfuric acid are controlled by the amount and seasonality of rainfall and influenced locally by land use activities. The acid production and the leaching of dissolved metals from river alluvium and estuarine sediments impact substantially on land and aquatic habitats. The water quality of the Pimpama River and its tributaries reflects the lithology of the bedrock and can vary largely depending on season, tidal regimes, sediment lithology, local topography and agricultural activities.Monitoring of river water for several seasons revealed four types of events, each with a different response in terms of water quality: (a) occasional showers during the dry season cause low pH and high amounts of dissolved metals in the water, (b) the first heavy rain of the wet season can produce very toxic conditions (low pH and high concentrations of metals) that can result in a fish kill, (c) towards the end of the wet season, prolonged flushing of pyrite oxidation products leads to short-term recovery of the aquatic system (neutral pH and lower amounts of dissolved metals in the water) and (d) a flood event can produce low pH, salinity and high concentrations of metals, which can represent lethal conditions for aquatic life. Assessment of saturation indexes for representative weathering and oxidation products such as clays, goethite, gibbsite and jarosite shows that these mineral phases can precipitate only when the water reaches neutral pH.

The series of chromosome segments is localized within the cell in the same order as the chromosome map. The large chromosome region including oriC shows similar localization patterns, which we call the Ori domain. In addition, the localization pattern of the large segment including dif is characteristic of the replication terminus region. The segment also shows similar localization patterns, which we call the Ter domain. In newborn cells, Ori and Ter domains of the chromosome are differentially localized near opposite cell poles. Subsequently, in the B period, the Ori domain moves toward mid-cell before the initiation of replication, and the Ter domain tends to relocate at mid-cell. An inversion mutant, in which the Ter domain is located close to oriC, shows abnormal subcellular localization of ori and dif segments, resulting in frequent production of anucleate cells. These studies thus suggest that the E. coli chromosome is organized to form a compacted ring structure with the Ori and Ter domains; these domains participate in the cell cycle-dependent localization of the chromosome.

AN - 70885832; 10648862 AB - The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I loci, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, -C, encode highly polymorphic molecules that mediate immune recognition of infectious pathogens and can initiate the rapid rejection of transplanted tissue. Cloning of HLA class I alleles is complicated by polymorphism as well as interlocus homology. Here, HLA class I cDNAs are amplified by PCR using one common primer with one of three locus specific primers whose 3' ends map to conserved, locus specific nucleotides. Using these primers, HLA-A, -B, and -C alleles were cloned from a number of cell lines and two different HLA-B alleles were cloned from a single, heterozygous cell line. The amplified products encode the entire extracellular portion of the class I molecules. An amplified HLA-A allele was cloned into an expression vector and the protein product was detected on the surface of a transfected cell. A premature termination codon was engineered into the HLA-A allele by site directed mutagenesis and the soluble protein product was detected in the culture medium of transfected cells. Therefore, these primers can be used to rapidly clone, alter, and express HLA class I molecules. This method may expedite the generation of reagents for testing the antigen specificity of antibodies, natural killer cells, or T cells.

Embryogenic cell suspensions were initiated using immature male flowers as the explant. Cells were co-bombarded with the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) selectable marker gene under the control of a banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) promoter or the CaMV 35S promoter, and either the beta -glucuronidase (uidA) reporter gene or BBTV genes under the control of the maize polyubiquitin promoter. Plants were regenerated, under selection with kanamycin, that were co-transformed with nptII and either the uidA or BBTV genes. Molecular characterisation of transformants demonstrated that the transgenes had been stably integrated into the banana genome.

Subcutaneously inoculated CT26 tumor was subjected to EGT, which consists of intratumoral injection of a naked plasmid encoding a marker gene or a therapeutic gene, followed by in vivo electroporation (EP). When this treatment modality is carried out with the plasmid DNA for the green fluorescent protein gene, followed by in vivo EP with the optimized pulse parameters, numerous intensely bright green fluorescent signals appeared within the tumor. EGT, by using the "A" fragment of the diphtheria toxin gene significantly inhibited the growth of tumors, by about 30%, on the flank of mice. With the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene, followed by systemic injection of ganciclovir, EGT was far more effective in retarding tumor growth, varying between 50% and 90%, compared with the other controls. Based on these results, it appears that EGT can be used successfully for treating murine solid tumors.

In detecting auditory stimuli, people can attend selectively to information processed in different subpopulations of peripheral neural inputs (auditory listening-bands or attention-bands). A similar principle may operate in other modalities, such as touch and taste. Thus, selective attention may tap people's ability to monitor selectively a single channel (class of fibers) for the presence of neural information, e.g., Pacinian-based versus rapidly-adapting fibers in touch. (1) Experiments will use criterion-controlled psychophysical methods to test the hypothesis that channels analogous to auditory listening-bands also underlie the detection of weak tactile and gustatory stimuli. It is possible, however, that people can also attend selectively to stimuli that produce different patterns of neural activity within a single channel. Experiments will test this hypothesis directly. (2) In touch, spatial attention-the ability to attend to different parts of the body surface-appears to depend on inputs from proprioception (orientation of the head and eyes) and possibly vision; and in hearing, spatial attention may depend on visual inputs. Experiments will test the hypotheses that tactile spatial attention is linked to proprioception and that auditory spatial attention is linked to vision. (3) People can attend selectively to sounds having particular durations. The ability to attend selectively to sensory events having a particular duration could be a general property of perceptual systems. Experiments will test the hypothesis that temporal attention is a property of touch as well as hearing. (4) There is evidence for the existence in the Pacinian tactile system of energy thresholds, levels below which stimulation is indistinguishable from the absence of stimulation. Experiments will test two hypotheses: first, that energy thresholds are established subsequent to temporal and spatial summation in the Pacinian system, and second, that attention can operate by modulating these central energy thresholds. Taken together, these studies will elucidate basic mechanisms governing the role of attention in perception, and by doing so may ultimately help to advance our understanding of such disturbances of attention as those associated with communicative disorders, with brain injury and stroke, and with childhood learning disorders.

For instance, a solution of sodium chloride at 0.1 M concentration may be related as 'strong' in the context of NaC of lower concentrations but as 'weak' in the context of greater ones. It is widely assumed that the sensory processing underlying the perception of the 0.1 M NACl is the same in both situations, only that the judgement changes. But not all effects of context necessarily reflect processes of judgement alone. Of special theoretical importance are newly-discovered differential context effects. Here, responses to one kind of stimulus can marked markedly relative to responses to another kind of stimulus. For example, interspersing strong sodium chloride solutions with weaker sucrose solutions make the salt taste weaker; interspersing intense high- pitched tones and weaker low-pitched tones makes the high-pitched tones sound softer. Considerable evidence suggests, though does not prove, that these differential context effects largely reflect sensory changes and not judgmental bias. The proposed research is guided by the hypothesis that differential context effects resemble the sensory 'adaptation' or 'fatigue' produced by prolonged intense stimulation but depend on a distinct underlying mechanism. To test this hypothesis, experiments will first seek to show that the effects are sensory by decoupling sensory and decisional processes. This will be done by measuring response speed and accuracy. Then, experiments will compare relative threshold and suprathreshold responses after exposure to transient versus long-duration stimuli in order to test the hypotheses that, unlike adaptation produced by prolongation intense stimulation, differential context produced by a small number of brief stimulations (a) involve central neural processes; (b) are smaller at threshold than at suprathreshold levels; (c) show proportional attenuation of sensation whereas adaptation shows recruitment-like growth of sensation magnitude; and (d) exert effects specific to the configural properties common to the exposure and test stimuli. These experiments will examine differential context effects in several modalities: taste, hearing (loudness), touch (vibrotaction), and vision (perceived lengths). Differential context effects appear to be widespread and potent sensory phenomena, albeit ones that have receive little prior recognition; consequently, delineating the underlying mechanisms is central to understanding basic sensory processes.'

N1 - Last updated - 2017-01-04 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The role of social and health statistics in measuring harm from alcohol. AN - 72583433; 11288467 AB - Since excess use of alcohol contributes to so many varieties of health and social harms, in most countries, there are many potential sources of data indicative of alcohol-related harms. In few instances, compilation and interpretation of these data are straightforward, but, mostly, they are open to various sources of measurement error, which need to be taken into account if they are to be applied for research purposes. Police and health statistics are the major source of such information, but the underlying systems are not usually set up with the purpose of monitoring alcohol-related events. In both of these domains, types of events can be identified, which are wholly attributable to excess alcohol use, i.e. drunk-driving, alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Specific alcohol-related events are particularly prone to variations in, respectively, police enforcement practices, medical diagnostic fashion and sensitivity to prejudices about alcohol-related problems. A case will be made in this paper for the use of multiple surrogate measures of alcohol-related harm drawn from several sources in order to measure and track local, regional and national trends. For health statistics on mortality and morbidity, the aetiologic fraction (AF) method will be recommended for such monitoring purposes. It will also be recommended that these data be categorised by the degree to which cases are attributable to alcohol and also by whether the underlying hazardous drinking pattern is a brief drinking bout or a sustained pattern of heavy intake over a number of years. Nighttime occurrences of road crashes, public violence from both police and emergency room attendance data will also be recommended. It will be argued that routine recording of alcohol relatedness of events is usually unreliable, and the above surrogate measures are preferable. Recommendations will also be made for utilising national surveys of drinking behaviour to improve the calculation of alcohol-related morbidity and mortality, as well as refine estimates of per capita alcohol consumption, another major 'surrogate' measure of alcohol-related harm. The arguments will be illustrated with reference to Australia's National Alcohol Indicators Project and related research projects.

AN - 71247409; 10908464 AB - To assess the effects of salazopyrin, auranofin, etretinate, fumaric acid, IMI gold, azathioprine, efamol marine and methotrexate, in psoriatic arthritis. We searched Medline up to February 2000, and Excerpta Medica (June 1974-95). Search terms were psoriasis, arthritis, therapy and/or controlled trial. This was supplemented by manually searching bibliographies of previously published reviews, conference proceedings, contacting drug companies and referring to the Cochrane Clinical Trials Register. All languages were included in the initial search. All randomized trials comparing salazopyrin, auranofin, etretinate, fumaric acid, IMI gold, azathioprine, and methotrexate, in psoriatic arthritis. Following a published a priori protocol, the main outcome measures included individual component variables derived from Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials (OMERACT). These include acute phase reactants, disability, pain, patient global assessment, physician global assessment, swollen joint count, tender joint count and radiographic changes of joints in any trial of one year or longer [Tugwell 1993], and the change in pooled disease index (DI). Only English trials were included in the review. Data were independently extracted from the published reports by two of the reviewers (MC, GJ). An independent blinded quality assessment was also performed. Twenty randomized trials were identified of which thirteen were included in the quantitative analysis with data from 1022 subjects. Although all agents were better than placebo, parenteral high dose methotrexate (not included), salazopyrin, azathioprine and etretinate were the agents that achieved statistical significance in a global index of disease activity (although it should be noted that only one component variable was available for azathioprine and only one trial was available for etretinate suggesting some caution is necessary in interpreting these results). Analysis of response in individual disease activity markers was more variable with considerable differences between different medications and responses. In all trials the placebo group improved over baseline (pooled improvement 0.39 DI units, 95% CI 0.26-0.54). There was insufficient data to examine toxicity. Parenteral high dose methotrexate and salazopyrin are the only two agents with well demonstrated published efficacy in psoriatic arthritis. The magnitude of the effect seen with azathioprine, etretinate, oral low dose methotrexate and perhaps colchicine suggests that they may be effective but that further multicentre clinical trials are required to establish their efficacy. Furthermore, the magnitude of the improvement observed in the placebo group strongly suggests that uncontrolled trials should not be used to guide management decisions in this condition.

AN - 71205667; 10854141 AB - The response rate to salvage chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) has been disappointing in patients who do not respond or relapse after platinum-containing regimens. Ifosfamide (IFO) showed an overall response rate of 20% and vinorelbine (VNR) 15.6%. Trials of the association of these two drugs for AOC have not yet been published. Between April 1996 and August 1997, 17 patients with AOC were treated with intravenous IFO 2000 mg/m2 per day, days 1 to 3, with mesna uroprotection, and VNR 25 mg/m2 per day, days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks. All patients but one had been heavily pretreated. All patients had been treated with platinum compounds and 16/17 with taxanes. All 17 patients were evaluable for toxicity, and 16 for response (one lost to follow-up). One patient showed a partial response, 12 progressive disease and three stable disease. No complete responses were observed. The main toxicity was neutropenia (grade 3-4 in 82% of patients) with neutropenic fever in 17.6% of patients. In 70.5% of patients (19/59 of courses) VNR was not administered on day 8. In four patients (10/59 courses) the dose was reduced by 25% for persistent leukopenia grade 2-3. Other toxicities were not significant. This combination showed no activity in this set of patients. The poor outcome, as compared with the significant activity reported with the agents used singly, could be ascribed to the patients' characteristics, the low dose intensity of VNR administered and possible cross-resistance between the study drugs and previously used agents.

AN - 70994123; 10692012 AB - Malathion resistance has been shown to be the result of a single point mutation in the LcalphaE7 gene in four independently isolated chromosomes of Lucilia cuprina. The resultant amino acid substitution specifies high malathion carboxylesterase (MCE) activity. We have assayed MCE activities and resistance to malathion in three sets of field-derived samples, two sets of isogenic lines and five mass populations, and show that resistance to malathion in these samples is associated with high MCE activity in both sets of isogenic lines and four of the five mass populations. Additional mechanisms contributing to MCE activity or malathion resistance may be present in one of the mass populations. A second point mutation in LcalphaE7 is responsible for conferring diazinon resistance by encoding an increased organophosphate (OP) hydrolase activity. We also assayed diazinon resistances from the same three samples and show that diazinon and malathion resistances were in complete disequilibrium, with two exceptions. One exception involves the mass population with additional resistance mechanism(s) and the other involves three isogenic lines that are resistant to both insecticides. The molecular data for these lines suggest that they carry a duplication of the LcalphaE7 gene.

AN - 70874399; 10652149 AB - Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in higher plants. In this study we tested whether GPI-addition signals from diverse evolutionary sources would function to link a GPI-anchor to a reporter protein in plant cells. Tobacco protoplasts were transiently transfected with a truncated form of the Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase E reporter gene (celE') fused with a tobacco secretion signal (PR-1a) at the N-terminus and either a yeast (GAS1), mammalian (Thy-1) or putative plant (LeAGP-1) GPI-anchor addition signal at the C-terminus. The yeast and plant C-terminal signals were found to be capable of directing the addition of a GPI-anchor to the endoglucanase protein (EGE') as shown by the sensitivity of the lipid component of GPI to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) digestion. In contrast, the mammalian signal was poorly processed for anchor addition. When EGE' was fused to a truncated form of the LeAGP-1 signal (missing three amino acids predicted to be critical to signal cleavage and anchor addition), a GPI-anchor was not linked to the EGE' protein indicating the necessity for the missing amino acids. Our results show the conservation of the properties of GPI-signals in plant cells and that there may be some similar preferences in GPI-addition signal sequences for yeast and plant cells.

National Study of Charter Schools. Fourth-Year Report. AN - 62419534; ED437724 AB - This report by the National Study of Charter Schools provides descriptive information on charter schools that were operating in the 1998-99 school year. The document addresses three major questions: "How have charter schools been implemented?""Under what conditions, if any, have they improved student achievement?" and "What impact have they had on public education?" The questions were answered through annual phone surveys, repeated field visits, the administration of student achievement tests, the administration of teacher surveys, the analyses of state charter laws, and an examination of how charter school legislation has affected school districts. The report is divided into four sections. Section A, which provides an overview of the charter movement, describes the growth of charter schools, paying particular attention to the differences across the charter states in terms of the number of charter schools. Section B summarizes basic characteristics of charter schools compared to other public schools, such as school size, grade-level configuration, student-to-teacher ratio, and student-to-computer ratio. Section C focuses on student demographic features of charter schools compared to other public schools, whereas the last section reviews data on issues that are central to understanding how charter schools may operate differently from other public schools.

In July 1999, a federal government brief filed in a U.S. Supreme Court case established the official legal position of the United States that Native Hawaiians have the same status as other Native people of the United States and that there is a federal trust responsibility for Native Hawaiians. Testimony from state-level administrators outlined the current status of health, housing, education, and job training for Native Hawaiians and proposed recommendations for pending federal legislation: the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Amendments of 1999, the Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act, and the Native Hawaiian Education Act. Other testimony described Native Hawaiian health care systems, the Native Hawaiian heart health initiative, the Native Hawaiian Cancer Awareness Research and Training Center, the Hawaii high schools health study, the Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship Program, the practice of naturopathic medicine with Native Hawaiians, the Native Hawaiian Higher Education Program and its outcomes and impacts, programs focused on Hawaiian language and cultural maintenance, family-based early childhood education programs, the Native Hawaiian Center of Excellence (to improve the health of indigenous Hawaiians), comprehensive school-based services, and the Native Hawaiian Special Education Project.

AN - 62332435; ED446315 AB - Each year, about 900,000 students in 14,000 schools take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This workbook is designed to assist these students in using their ASVAB scores for career exploration purposes. It is intended to be interactive and to motivate students to become involved in interpreting their ASVAB scores. There are opportunities throughout the book to complete exercises that help determine individual interests, values, skills, and educational goals, while giving students a chance to think about the features they want most in an occupation and career. Students are guided towards occupations that match their interests, abilities, and personal preferences. In this way they can develop career plans to investigate the occupations they determined of interest. The ASVAB workbook introduces a group of students who are also in the midst of career exploration. Their experiences and discussions can be used to guide users of the workbook in their discoveries. The text is interspersed with cartoon scenarios, charts, and diagrams to further explain concepts and to assist in keeping students engaged.

Hearings before the Subcommittee on Forests and Public Land Management of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, First Session, on S. 1608. AN - 62321105; ED452015 AB - When the national forests were withdrawn from the public domain a century ago, they were established with the assurances that proceeds from the sustainable management of their natural resources would be shared with local governments. These proceeds partially refund the tax revenues lost by local governments and go toward funding rural schools, roads, and other services. Since 1990, controversies over federal forest management policies and reduced timber sales have decreased these payments dramatically, leaving many rural schools in difficult circumstances. A Senate subcommittee held hearings on proposed legislation that would establish a set amount to be paid to affected local governments and apply available receipts to meet these payments, with general treasury funds making up the difference. Only 75 percent of the payments would go to the traditional schools and roads program; 25 percent would be given to the counties for federal-land management projects developed locally. The bill aims to provide secure funding for rural schools while giving people a new incentive to work together at the local level. Testimony from U.S. Senators; county commissioners; and representatives of organizations advocating school, environmental, community, and timber industry interests discussed details of funding mechanisms, the balance between economic and ecological concerns, the composition and duties of local advisory committees, the risk of catastrophic wildfires, and issues related to community survival.

AN - 62250297; ED457865 AB - A free national library service providing recorded and Braille materials to blind and physically handicapped persons is administered by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), Library of Congress. In this directory, NLS network libraries and machine-lending agencies are arranged alphabetically by state. Within each state, the regional library appears first, followed by subregional libraries (if any) listed alphabetically by city. In several states, two regional libraries have been established; in these instances, the specific service area of each library is shown. County service areas are also listed for subregional libraries, but for libraries that serve 18 or more counties, the outlying or border counties are listed while those in the center of the service area are not. Regional libraries that also function as machine-lending agencies are identified by an asterisk. Separate machine-lending agencies (if any) are listed as the final entry for a state. Regional libraries designated as Braille-lending libraries are identified by a number symbol. Braille is listed under the book collection heading for each of these libraries. For libraries not designated as Braille-lending libraries, Braille collections are listed under the special collections category. The information about NLS network libraries and machine-lending agencies contained in the body of the directory and in the second appendix was provided by each network library and machine-lending agency in response to a questionnaire circulated in February 2000; readership and circulation statistics in the first appendix are for federal fiscal year (October-September) 1999. Two affiliated library consortium are included, followed by other library resources at the national level, both arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. Each entry indicates eligibility requirements, special media available, subject coverage, and lending policies, all of which may vary from one organization to another.

AN - 62249979; ED458355 AB - When deciding how to compete in the new global economy, employers can opt for "low-road" strategies such as low wages and no job security. Alternatively, they can choose the "high road" and compete by offering quality goods and services, innovation, and value. Fourteen successful "high-road" partnerships were examined to identify elements likely to lead to successful partnerships, barriers to effectiveness, and tools to help surmount them. The individual partnerships focused on different sectors and involved different stakeholder groups, including unions, educators, employers, community organizations, and government. However, the activities/services provided by the partnerships all fell into the following categories: (1) setting workplace, job, and/or investment standards; (2) workforce development; (3) business services (joint-labor management programs assisting employers with modernization and/or providing financial or similar services); and (4) people services (building good jobs and career paths while helping employers compete and promoting fairer access to economic opportunity). At least initially, partnerships tended to be sectoral or regional. The challenges faced by partnerships typically involved strategic planning and strategic research, building an organization, funding sources, communicating and sharing knowledge, building and strengthening coalitions, and ongoing research. Forty-seven action steps to overcome these challenges were identified. (Profiles of the case study partnerships are appended.)

This chapter will explore crisis theory and treatment for culturally and racially diverse families. The incidence of common stressors and crisis events will be explored. Special focus will be placed on resilience and protective factors that support families of color in coping with crisis and stress. Roberts's seven-stage model of crisis intervention will be applied to the examples to provide greater understanding of how the clinician could use crisis intervention treatment in work with culturally diverse families. The implications of providing crisis intervention services to such families in a managed care environment will be discussed. The chapter will conclude with guidelines for the clinician in work with diverse families within a rapidly changing mental health/behavioral health system.

The geothermal manifestations cover an area of about 140 km2. They are almost entirely located within the ring structure. Natural output has been estimated to be equivalent to 190-930 kg/s of steam. Basaltic intrusions underlying the silica rocks may be the heat source for the geothermal reservoir. The geothermal manifestations are mostly steaming ground but steam-heated water of the bicarbonate and the acid sulphate type is common in the area. A preliminary review is carried out on possible environmental effects due to drilling in the area in order to decide how to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and disclose key impacts. In this study, an attempt has been made to identify the likely impact of geothermal exploration, drilling and operations, and potential mitigating measures. As environmentally more advantageous, the result of this study suggests that detailed studies be carried out on the water supply for drilling, on how to get rid of effluent water, and on the monitoring of gas emissions to the atmosphere during drilling operations, as well as a detailed assessment of the biology of the area.

However, a growing number of exploited taxa have declined substantially and even disappeared from parts of their former range. We consider the case of the white abalone (Haliotis sorenseni); the first marine invertebrate proposed for the US endangered species list. This high-value species was one of five abalones targeted in the California and Mexico fisheries; it is now rare and protected from fishing. The biological characteristics of this deep-living abalone indicate that it was particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation; reduction of density or group size is now known to lead to declines in fertilization success and recruitment failure. Warning signs of potential problems existed both pre- and post-exploitation but were not recognized. In particular, serial depletion was not detected because catch was not analyzed spatially, perhaps because total landings were reasonably stable for the short period of exploitation. Recent submersible surveys led to estimates that white abalone now number less than 2,600 animals or 0.1% of the estimated pre-exploitation population size. Densities and estimated population sizes are less than 100 animals, at all but one location. Alternate explanations for the decline in abundance were considered and only exploitation-linked factors, such as sub-legal mortality and illegal fishing, were likely contributors. Episodic recruitment appears to be a characteristic of broadcast-spawning, long-lived species and may make them particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Management strategies based on size limits that allow a few years of spawning prior to reaching minimum legal size are insufficient. Sustainable fisheries will require multiple protected areas to preserve brood stock aggregations necessary for successful fertilization.

The present finding contradicts the contention that the species is extinct and exists only on the herbarium sheets. This aquatic plant, though declining rapidly in population, still occurs sparsely as a 'floating-leaf' type in the Lake Manasbal, Kashmir, in close association with a dominant macrophyte, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. The high economic importance of the aquatic plant calls for urgent conservation to avert its probable extinction.

AN - 18091432; 5177062 AB - The impact of cetacean eco-tourism on subject animals is not clearly understood. Studies that monitor this impact have traditionally concentrated on observable surface behaviour despite the fact that sound is the primary communication channel for cetaceans. This study monitored whistle production in free ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) to evaluate if dolphins vocalise at different rates in response to commercial dolphin-swim boats. Thirty-two hours of sound were recorded in the austral spring and summer of 1995/96. Results indicate that whistle production is significantly greater in the presence of commercial dolphin swim boats, regardless of dolphins' behavioural state prior to the arrival of the vessels. The increase in whistle production suggests that group cohesion may be affected during approaches made by commercial dolphin swim tour-operators or may serve some other social function. Monitoring vocal behaviour offers another insight into short-term human impacts on cetaceans.

Previous morphological studies have shown that genetic differentiation between populations of E. risdonii and southern E. tenuiramis is continuous and much smaller than the separation between the southern and northern morphotypes of E. tenuiramis. However, morphological traits may be influenced by selection, possibly leading to convergence, requiring an independent measure of genetic variation. We studied allozyme frequency variation in E. risdonii, southern E. tenuiramis (parapatric with E. risdonii), northern E. tenuiramis (disjunct from southern populations), and E. coccifera (as an outgroup). Each morphotype had a level of genetic diversity close to the average reported in ten other eucalypt species with similar distributions but the coefficients of population differentiation within morphotypes were lower than in most other eucalypt species. The overall difference between morphotypes was extremely small, possibly as a result of recent and rapid differentiation, but may also be the result of gene flow from other peppermint taxa, including E. amygdalina and E. pulchella. Southern E. tenuiramis has greater genetic affinity with E. risdonii than with northern E. tenuiramis which supports recent evolutionary divergence of E. risdonii. In this study we have shown that taxonomic units are not necessarily aligned with an equitable partition of the gene pool and that conservation units should be much broader than single taxa in order to preserve evolutionary processes.

AN - 17911035; 5140154 AB - No, this is not an article about NASCAR. It is about a remaining water quality problem in this country, nonpoint source pollution. In the ongoing debate of how to improve water quality, has anyone stopped to ask whether we can we get there? Or, perhaps more aptly, how will we know when we get there? One thing everyone can agree on is that the Clean Water Act of 1972 and its subsequent amendments in 1987 have significantly improved water quality across the country. Rivers in this country are no longer catching fire, because we no longer treat them as sewers. While we still use our waters as a place to put back the water we use, we are regulating what can be put back in with that water.

The generally accepted approach to ecological tax reform is to reduce tax rates on income and labour and to impose Pigouvian taxes on resource use and pollution emissions. While this approach is a vast improvement on current tax systems, it is an inadequate means of achieving sustainable development because it relies exclusively on the manipulation of market prices - an allocation instrument - when ecological sustainability is a throughput problem that requires a separate policy instrument to be adequately resolved. With the aid of a linear throughput representation of the economic process, it is argued that conventional ecological tax reform measures promote just two of the five behavioural modes put forward to achieve sustainable development. In order to promote all five behavioural modes, it is argued that ecological tax reform is best conducted with the incorporation of tradeable resource use permits and assurance bonds.

While variable, populations of C. maritima often show high levels of infection by a fungal pathogen, Alternaria brassicicola. As part of a larger metapopulation study of host-pathogen dynamics in this system, an isozyme survey of seven populations of Cakile was carried out along the south coast of New South Wales to investigate mating structure. Given the possibility of self-incompatibility, a glasshouse crossing experiment was also carried out to investigate the potential for selfing. The results from the crossing study showed that C. maritima is basically an obligate outcrosser, but that self-compatible individuals also occur at low frequency, providing some flexibility in the mating system. Similarly, analysis of the isozyme data showed a preponderance of cross fertilisation, but with significant low levels of selfing in two populations. There were no correlations between outcrossing rates and population size or density, although there was evidence of restricted mating at the individual level (low paternal diversity within seed from a given mother). However, this did not translate into biparental inbreeding, even in very small populations, most likely due to incompatibility leading to negative assortative mating.

A case study of Calyptrogyne ghiesbreghtiana (Arecaceae) AN - 17823694; 4852082 AB - Calyptrogyne ghiesbreghtiana Linden ex. H. Wendl. is an understorey palm that occurs at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. In this paper I combine analysis of natural variation and results of experimental manipulations to ask (1) what limits seed production? and (2) what processes cause variation in seed production by C. ghiesbreghtiana? The number of seed produced per inflorescence of C. ghiesbreghtiana was limited substantially by the loss of female flowers to floral herbivores. Much variation in the number of seed produced per inflorescence of C. ghiesbreghtiana was due to losses of developing fruits to predators. Together these phenomena illustrate the influential role of natural enemies in the reproductive success of this plant. Seed-set efficiency (number of seeds/number of female flowers) was highly variable in this species, and such high levels of variation appear to be common in other species. For species with highly variable seed-set efficiency, the role of resource allocation to flower production in determining differences in seed production among individual plants is likely to be relatively small.

Data from one small trial demonstrated a genetic basis to a steep local cline in habit, in the size of plants flowering and in the height of the change in foliage type. Thus, slow growth, early phase change and precocious flowering appear to be maintained in exposed coastal environments by current selection. This contrasts with results from five large trials that contained open-pollinated progeny from across the whole geographic range of this taxon. On this broad scale, early phase change appears to promote growth, a fitness surrogate, in two trials but not the others, implying differential selection for the timing of phase change. In these cases, early phase change may have been favoured in warm, wet environments by reducing damage by leaf fungi. There was marked genetic variation in the timing of vegetative phase change among broad regions, consistent with either adaptation to broad-scale environmental variation or historical differentiation.

To investigate the role of fire-related cues in breaking seed-dormancy mechanisms in the Epacridaceae, the influences of heat shock, darkness, direct smoke and varying concentrations of aqueous smoke solutions (5, 10 and 100%) on seed germination of the Tasmanian endemic Epacris tasmanica were examined. A small fraction (5.3%) of non-dormant E. tasmanica seed could germinate in the absence of fire-related cues. The most effective treatment for promoting seed germination was direct smoke (74.67%); however, germination with direct smoke was delayed by about two weeks when compared to other significant treatments, suggesting an initial inhibitory effect. Significant interactions were recorded between all classes of treatments (heat shock, darkness and smoke solutions), with treatments acting sequentially and additively to promote germination. The most effective combinatory treatment tested was 5% smoked water (5%S) in conjunction with darkness (D) and heat-shock (H) treatments (5%SDH), which raised germination levels to 49%. In the absence of heat shock, darkness and various concentrations of smoked water had no significant effect on seed germination. The 5%SDH treatment promoted seed germination significantly also in two wet-heathland (E. lanuginosa (42.7%) and E. obtusifolia (64.7%)) and two dry-heathland Epacris species (the Tasmanian endemic E. apsleyensis (72.7%) and the rare mainland Australian E. purpurascens (75%)). The results of this study indicate that fire-related dormancy-breaking cues act synergistically in promoting seed germination in E. tasmanica and suggesting that their level of influence may reflect the ecology of Epacris species.

In this study we examined the effects of REMs, including lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb) and ytterbium (Yb) on the testes of mice. Mice were treated i.v. with a single dose of 20 or 200 mu mol REM/kg as chloride. The testicular weights, lipid peroxidation, and alterations such as hemorrhagic inflammation, were examined 5 d after the administration. The concentration of Ca in the testes was also determined by atomic absorption spectrometer. No significant changes in testicular weights, lipid peroxidation, or alterations were observed by the administration of these REMs at either dose. However, the concentration of Ca in the testes was markedly increased at both doses. There was no significant difference in the Ca concentration between dose levels or among the REMs. These results suggest that the REMs induce increased Ca concentration in mice testes, and this might be a significant aspect of their toxic mechanisms.

They appeared to exhibit greater diurnality, particularly during winter months, a greater degree of overland movement and more frequent use of non-earth refuge sites than do animals inhabiting mainland water bodies. Individuals foraged continuously for up to 16 h, with longer foraging bouts observed during the winter tracking period. Foraging range varied between 2 and 58 ha, with no significant differences observed between the sexes or seasons. All platypuses foraged predominantly in the lake; however, a number of animals were observed moving overland to and from waterbodies and burrows. Burrows were located on lake, creek and pool edges. A high percentage of burrows (25%) were located within dense sedge tussocks and scrub vegetation. Both the terrestrial activity and more opportunistic burrow-site selection may be related to reduced predation pressure in Tasmania.

S141 was produced by transposon mutagenesis. Time-lapse video imaging of surface colonisation behaviour and microcolony formation of S141 compared to M8.2 cells was carried out to investigate the role of the flagellum of Vibrio sp. S141 in microcolony formation on agar and glass substrata. On an agar surface, S141 cells formed a tetrad pattern after the first two cell divisions, during initial surface colonisation. Developed microcolonies consisted of tight circular arrangements of cells with infrequent branching of cells from the main body. In contrast, M8.2 cells did not form tetrad patterns and microcolonies generally showed enhanced branching and did not develop circular arrangements of cells. On a glass surface under flow conditions, S141 cells displayed several types of movement behaviours at the surface which may have assisted microcolony formation. M8.2 cells appeared unable to develop microcolonies, but rather displayed a behaviour which enabled them to spread out across the substratum. Laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed S141 mature biofilms consisted of characteristic towers of bacterial growth with scattered troughs. The flagellum-negative M8.2 biofilm did not form such architecture, displaying a homogeneous distribution of cells throughout the biofilm and across the entire substratum. Although not required for attachment to the glass substratum, the flagellum was required for alignment as well as specific movement behaviours by S141 cells.

AN - 17759109; 4820233 AB - We report the case of a 60-year-old European man with myocardial infarction at high altitude (4000 m). Myocardial infarction is an uncommonly encountered problem in high-altitude trekking in the Himalayas. The paucity of coronary artery disease at high altitude (hypoxia, exercise, and age notwithstanding) is discussed. Finally, the importance of recognizing disease entities that mimic acute mountain sickness in this environment is emphasized.

Similarly, bacterial homologs of the plasmid genes participate in controlling the bidirectional migration of the replication origin (oriC) regions during sporulation and vegetative growth in Bacillus subtilis, but not in Escherichia coli. In E. coli, but not B. subtilis, the chromosomal DNA is fully methylated by DNA adenine methyltransferase. The E. coli SeqA protein, which binds preferentially to hemimethylated nascent DNA strands, exists as discrete foci in vivo. A single SeqA focus, which is a SeqA-hemimethylated DNA cluster, splits into two foci that then abruptly migrate bidirectionally to the 1/4 and 3/4 positions during replication. Replicated oriC copies are linked to each other for a substantial period of generation time, before separating from each other and migrating in opposite directions. The MukFEB complex of E. coli and Smc of B. subtilis appear to participate in the reorganization of bacterial sister chromosomes.

Inorganic polysulfides were determined using the technique of methyl iodide derivatisation, and subsequent analysis as DMPS by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The technique was shown to be quantitative from 0.15 mu g/L to 370 mu g/L, and not subject to interference from other sulfur compounds. The polysulfide-rich biofilms and sediments occurred in pipes constructed from a variety of different materials, and fed by water from several different surface and groundwater sources.

Such a possibility has not been examined in social spiders, in part as adult male spider anatomy and behaviour are focussed on mating. Subadult male behaviour was examined in two congener social crab spiders that have similar ecological niches, Diaea ergandros with an equal sex ratio and D. socialis with a female-biased sex ratio. A laboratory experiment that varied sex ratios of groups of subadults of the two species found that nest construction in D. ergandros did not vary with sex ratio, but that of D. socialis did as males did not contribute to nest construction. This may suggest that among social species, biased sex ratios might influence the appearance of drone-like behaviour.

This article reports some effective doses to teenage girls from CT examinations. The voxel computational model ADELAIDE, representative of a 14-year-old girl, was scaled in size by plus or minus 5% to represent also 11-12-year-old and 16-year-old girls. The EGS4 Monte Carlo code was used to calculate the effective dose from chest, abdomen and whole torso CT examinations to the three versions of ADELAIDE using a 120 kV spectrum. For the whole torso CT examination, in order of increasing model size, the effective doses were 9.0, 8.2 and 7.8 mSv per 100 mA.s. Data are presented that allow the estimation of effective dose from CT examinations of the torso for girls between the ages of 11 and 16.

Over 30 facilities in North America practice this technique. Most of these applications are for dilute or moderate strength air streams with relatively low hydrogen sulfide (H sub(2)S) levels. Unfortunately, the lack of data documenting the effectiveness of the process and concerns for blower corrosion have limited its acceptance as a method for controlling odour emissions. This paper presents a compilation and review of wastewater treatment facilities that are currently using activated sludge diffusion. Performance data are tabulated, and information on operation and maintenance of the blower/diffuser systems are summarized. New data are presented that compare the effectiveness of coarse vs. fine bubble diffusers for treatment of a high strength, high-H sub(2)S air stream from sludge holding tanks at Concord, NH. Design and performance information is presented on a dedicated odour control system installed at Phoenixville, Pennsylvania in 1996 that collects high-H sub(2)S air streams from an influent chamber and primary clarifiers and diffuses it into a mechanically-aerated activated sludge basin. A cost-effectiveness analysis is presented for a blower/diffuser system installed exclusively for odour control. Methods used to overcome initial operational problems are discussed.

C. Smith and Eucryphia milliganii Hook. f. Comparisons of field- and glasshouse-grown plants for both species showed that there is strong genetic control of all the morphological characters measured. Two distinct morphotypes, occupying similar areas of Tasmania, were identified in each species. The geographic boundary between the morphotypes is similar in both species and runs more or less east-west, separating each species into northern and southern forms. Southern E. milliganii differs from the northern form in having ovate leaves with dense marginal trichomes and a pubescent abaxial leaf lamina. A new subspecies, E. milliganii ssp. pubescens, is described to encompass this intra-specific variation in southern Tasmania. Southern T. lanceolata has encrypted stomata, contrasting with the superficial stomata of the northern form, but is not considered sufficiently different to warrant separate taxonomic status. The boundary is difficult to explain in terms of modern environmental factors. A past period of significantly different climate from the present, perhaps combined with anthropogenic fire regimes, may have enabled allopatric differentiation within each species.

However, some adverse responses are subtle in clinical settings and continue to foster debate and investigation. One of these responses is "metal allergy" or hypersensitivity to metallic biomaterials. Current methods used to diagnose hypersensitivity reactions, such as dermal patch testing and migration inhibition assays, are not well accepted in orthopedic practice as a means for the characterization of hypersensitivity to metallic joint-replacement components. An increasing need to resolve whether metal sensitivity may be a significant and/or predisposing factor for eliciting an over-aggressive immune response in patients with metallic implant components requires improved and standardized widespread study. Here we present three in vitro methodologies: (1) a proliferation assay, (2) cytokine analysis using ELISA, and (3) a migration inhibition assay. When in conjunction with one another, these assays may be used to more comprehensively quantify metal-induced hypersensitivity responses. Therefore, these methodologies are detailed with the intent of facilitating multi-center large-scale studies. In the following cases, a multi-assay approach for measuring the prevalence of delayed-type hypersensitivity in orthopedic patients shows the propensity to yield a more comprehensive and, therefore, more conclusive determination than currently employed patch testing or single assay techniques.

Crop plants are often grown on soils subject to waterlogging and many are sensitive to waterlogging of the root zone. The combination of unfavourable weather conditions and suboptimal soil and irrigation techniques can result in severe yield losses. The molecular basis of the adaptation to transient low oxygen conditions has not been completely characterized, but progress has been made towards identifying genes and gene products induced during low oxygen conditions. Promoter elements and transcription factors involved in the regulation of anaerobically induced genes have been characterized. In this paper an account is presented of the molecular strategies that have been used in an attempt to increase flooding tolerance of crop plants.

Values for F sub(crash) are determined for six marine fish species (Cape hake, blue grenadier, blue warehou, school shark, gummy shark, and orange roughy) subject to commercial harvest. The sensitivity of the value of F sub(crash) to changing the selectivity pattern of the fishery and the relationship between the size of the reproductive component of the population and subsequent births to allow for depensatory effects is examined. F sub(crash) is greatest for highly productive species and when the fishery does not target immature animals. The ratio of F sub(crash) to the fishing mortality at which maximum sustainable yield is achieved, F sub(MSY), is a decreasing function of the productivity of the population. The possibility of depensation has little impact on F sub(MSY) but can substantially reduce the ratio F sub(crash)/F sub(MSY). A series of stochastic simulations is conducted to assess the probability of detecting that the extent of fishing exceeds F sub(crash) using the current IUCN A criterion. The results of these simulations are also used to determine the probability that the IUCN A criteria will be triggered when fishing takes place at F sub(MSY). The results indicate that there are substantial probabilities of incorrectly identifying species being harvested at F sub(MSY) as being threatened during the 'fishing down' phase and also of not identifying species actually at risk of extinction if fishing mortality is not reduced.

In this study, nitrification of small, polluted urban rivers in areas without centralized sewage works was experimentally examined using zeolite coated nonwovens (ZCN). NH sub(4)-N adsorption by ZCN could be described by Freundlich adsorption isotherm with k and 1/n values to be 0.28 and 1.17, respectively. The capacity of nonwovens to retain nitrifying activated sludge was determined to be 208 g-MLSS/m super(2) and the effluent from the nitrifying reactor packed with nonwovens was free of SS. The effectiveness of the zeolite coating on nonwovens was verified through two months of continuous nitrification treatment and it was found that the reactor packed with ZCN showed stable treatment at about 90% removal while the reactor packed with only nonwovens showed large fluctuations. The maximum allowable NH sub(4)-N loading rate for 90 % removal of NH sub(4)-N was determined to be 50 mg/L/d. Experimental results illustrated that this system was also capable of reducing TOC from 10 mg/L to less than 2 mg/L indicating that efficient simultaneous removal of TOC and NH sub(4)-N is possible with ZCN. A protocol for culturing nitrifying microorganisms on nonwovens was also established.

For instance, population genetic theory is basic in formulating collecting strategies. Results from the neutral allele model indicate that allelic richness in samples from equilibrium populations is, although directly proportional to the population size, proportional to the logarithm of the sample size. Such trends underline the importance of dividing the sampling effort among many populations. Our empirical genetical studies have been in the Australian wild relatives of soybean and cotton. These species not only contain significant genetic resources for improving their related crops, but also may be at risk from unwanted hybridisation. In perennial Glycine species, previous cytological and genetic research detected major races within the G. tabacina polyploid complex. A maternal phylogeny on the basis of chloroplast restriction-site variation defined plastome lineages and clarified the evolution of the polyploid complexes. Ongoing research with nuclear sequences focuses on the relationship between chloroplast and nuclear phylogenies and morphology. In Gossypium, estimates of interspecific hybrid fertility and outcrossing rates in natural populations near current cotton crops point to negligible risk of transgene escape from genetically engineered commercial cotton cultivars.

The method is useful at field sites for research related to the inter-colony interactions or baiting systems where the identity of different colonies and their foraging territories is important. The technique has been validated for Reticulitermes flavipes (9 colonies), R. virginicus (1 colony), and Amitermes wheeleri (2 colonies) in Texas. Termites readily feed on the dyed matrix in the field and quickly acquire a very visible mark, which may persist for long periods. Dyed termites move quickly to other stations that are part of the same foraging territory (30-90 days). Based on spatial and temporal patterns of dye markers superimposed on the overall pattern of activity at study sites, termites bearing the dye markers are apparently moving throughout the entire foraging territory of individual colonies. Unlike standard mark-release-recapture methods this technique does not permit an estimate of numbers of foraging individuals in the colony. Advantages of this method are: 1. Handling of termites is reduced to a minimum. 2. Access to a laboratory is not required. 3. The process is less labor intensive than mark-release-recapture techniques. 4. Site visits can be kept to monthly intervals (or longer). 5. With the exception of the specially prepared dyed matrix, the procedure can be done entirely with the use of standard commercial components or with a variety of previously described monitoring systems.

The failure of a bubble-plume destratification system to control blue-green algal blooms in Chaffey Reservoir, Australia, had two causes: its inability to deepen the surface mixed layer (SML) significantly despite markedly reducing the top-to-bottom temperature difference; and the high external filterable reactive phosphorus (FRP) load originating in the upstream catchment. Temperature differences as small as 0.04 degree C prevented downwards mixing of buoyant Anabaena which inhabited the SML. Artificial destratification reduced the internal phosphorus load from the sediments by over 80% compared to the internal load observed during stratified anoxic conditions. However, the annual external FRP load was at least as large as the internal load. Identification and control of the external FRP load is vital if the biomass potential of future algal blooms is to be reduced. JF - Advances in limnology.

Mean allelic richness at five allozyme loci was lower in re-established populations than in their progenitors, but there were no differences in levels of heterozygosity or gene fixation. In contrast, re-established populations had a greater range of cytotypes than the wild populations, with novel cytotypes including euploids, aneuploids and chromosomal rearrangements. Some of this increased cytological diversity may be attributable to increased rates of disjunctional errors under increased inbreeding in small populations. However, the presence of 2n = 33 triploid plants in the re-established populations, along with the occurance of two allozyme alleles that are otherwise unique to a neighbouring diploid population, both suggest that immigration is also influencing the chromosomal architecture of the new populations. Although the two types of genetic diversity examined show apparently contrasting responses to re-establishment, both of the observed changes in diversity may negatively affect population viability. If losses in allozyme diversity are paralleled by a loss of mating types in this self-incompatible species there is the potential for significant effects on population demography. Increased frequencies of chromosomal abnormalities, which are often associated with lowered fertility, will also reduce mean individual fitness.

Ages of embryos used in experiments were 3, 46, and 92 h old. Measured end points included percentage hatch, day of hatch, larval survival time, and spinal deformities. There was a significant concentration-response of both metals on percentage hatch and spinal deformities. The 3-h-old embryos had highest percentage of deformities with 27% for embryos pulse-exposed to both 3.3 mg/L of cadmium and 33.3 mg/L of zinc. Cadmium 2 h peLC50 (SE) values (n=4) for <24-h-, 3-4-day-, and 9-10-day-old larval rainbow fish were 0.13 (0.01), 0.11 (0.01), and 0.56 (0.11) mg/L, respectively. Zinc 2 h peLC50 (SE) values for the same aged rainbow fish larvae were 0.51 (0.03), 0.56 (0.04), and 1.57 (0.22) mg/L, respectively. For both metals, 9-10-day-old larvae were significantly more tolerant than younger ages. Within each of the age groups, larvae were significantly more sensitive to cadmium than zinc. Continuous exposure LC50 (SE) values (n=4) using 9-10-day-old larvae were 0.01 (0.00) and 0.27 (0.01) mg/L for cadmium and zinc, respectively. Results show that pulse-exposed metals at moderate concentrations can significantly affect the early life stages of M. fluviatilis through decreasing percentage hatch of embryos, inducing spinal deformities, and having toxic effects on larvae at relatively low concentrations.

The nature of J sub(NO2) is reviewed briefly with regard to temperature, pressure, zenith angle, altitude, albedo, clouds, atmospheric turbidity and atmospheric molecular absorption. Comparison of the four methods against a radiation transfer model, for three clear-sky days at different latitudes in Australia, shows that any of the methods may be used to approximate a clear-sky diurnal profile of J sub(NO2), as the maximum variation between all models at noon was found to be 15%. However, more care needs to be taken when calculating other photolysis rate coefficients, such as J sub(O3), as these are more susceptible to other variables such as the ozone column concentration. A simple procedure for calculating cloudy-day J sub(NO2) is also illustrated.

It has evolved in a clade otherwise conforming to the typical dioecious pollination syndrome of small white flowers serviced by small insects. A number of its features are consistent with ornithophily in other Epacridaceae, including a tubular pendant odourless corolla, a winter peak in flowering and a copious diurnal nectar flow. However, the flower largely retains the white, insect-attractive colour of its congeners. Male plants have more and larger flowers, begin flowering earlier in the season, and yield significantly more nectar per flower than female plants. The fruits produced on female plants were 22% larger than the few produced on male plants. These findings are consistent with recent theories on the biology of dioecy. The species has a high level of self-fertility, and dioecy presumably serves to increase the rate of outcrossing.

The prospect of two emission trading blocs, one consisting of the European Union and eastern Europe and the other consisting of many of the remaining Annex I regions, is also considered. The analysis shows that the carbon penalty varies significantly across regions when no emissions trading is allowed. In aggregate, the cost of abatement to Annex I regions falls with emissions trading. Under the assumption of the two trading blocs, the carbon penalty in the European bloc is higher than with full Annex I trading. The paper also considers the impact on developing countries and the role of carbon leakage in determining the economic impacts on Annex I regions.

The present study has shown that dendritic loss is not specific for excitatory amino acids and is an early indicator of neurodegeneration produced by numerous agents that initiate damage by different primary cellular actions. Rats were anesthetised by fluothane inhalation and killed, and the brain was rapidly removed. Three-hundred-micrometer-thick slices containing substantia nigra were incubated for 2 h at 35 degree C in the presence or absence of kainic acid (50 mu M), 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (10 or 50 mu M), ouabain (10 or 30 mu M), 6-hydroxydopamine (10 or 100 mu M), potassium cyanide (100 mu M or 1 mM), or elevated extracellular potassium chloride (25, 50, or 100 mM). The slices were fixed and recut into thin sections (30 mu m) and substantia nigra dopamine neurons were immunolabeled for tyrosine hydroxylase coupled to diaminobenzidine. Both the cell body and the extensive dendritic projections were immunolabeled. Each agent caused a similar pattern of toxicity including loss of tyrosine-hydroxylase-immunolabeled dendrites at lower concentrations and damage to, or disintegration of, the cell bodies at higher concentrations. For example, 100 mu M potassium cyanide reduced the proportion of substantia nigra neurons which exhibited dendrites from 66 plus or minus 4% (SEM) in controls to 54 plus or minus 7%, without obvious changes in cell bodies. After 1 mM potassium cyanide, only 13 plus or minus 2% of substantia nigra neurons retained dendrites and cell bodies were shrunken or disintegrated. Loss of dendrites was also evident in substantia nigra neurons stained with cresyl violet or immunolabeled for microtubule-associated protein 2. The findings suggest that disruption of the dendritic arbor is an early indicator of neurodegeneration, irrespective of how this is initiated. The approach that we have developed may therefore prove valuable in investigating the mechanisms of degeneration of catecholamine neurons.

Physical abrasion from the ship's hull during grounding caused the complete destruction of the subtidal reef community within a localized area of approximately 170 m by approximately 20 m on Hebe Reef. However, the release of fuel oil did not appear to have substantially affected populations of subtidal reef-associated organisms in the near vicinity. Analyses of changes over time outside the hull impact area at oiled sites before and after the spill, and comparisons with undisturbed reference sites, indicated no significant change in number of species on reefs or in densities of the most abundant animal and plant species. Post-impact monitoring of the grounding zone and adjacent reference sites on Hebe Reef indicated that the fish assemblage associated with the hull scar recovered rapidly in terms of species composition and species richness within one year, whereas plant and invertebrate assemblages had not reached inferred pre-disturbance levels after two years. Wave disturbance appeared to be hindering re-establishment of large macroalgae over part of the abrasion zone where the reef substrata had been converted to unstable gravels.

Colony sizes are small, and only 12.5% of nests contained more than two females. Brood rearing occurs throughout the year, including winter, as it does in the other species of Brevineura studied to date. In both Brevineura species, per capita brood production is much higher in multi-female nests than single-female nests, raising the question of why more colonies aren't multifemale. The occurrence of small colony sizes, despite large benefits to group living, differs strongly from species of the sister clade Exoneura. These findings, combined with previous allodapine studies, indicate conservatism in voltinism, brood phenology and colony size within, but not between, Australian allodapine genera.

They were compared for variation in conidium and conidiophore morphology, temperature requirements for sporulation, germination and germ-tube growth and for pathogenicity on different sorghum and maize cultivars. Although there were significant differences in isolate morphology, all conformed to the known range for P. sorghi. Mean conidial length x width ranged from 21-23 mu m x 16.9-19.2 mu m, and mean conidiophore length (basal cell-branching) ranged from 116.3-135.6 mu m. All isolates sporulated in the range 14-26 degree C (optimal at 16-23 degree ), although one isolate from maize from Umbeluzi in Mozambique had a broader optimal range for sporulation (12-25 degree ). Conidia of all isolates germinated between 10 degree and 34 degree . Germ-tube response to temperature was similar for all isolates (10-34 degree ). The isolates varied in their pathogenicity towards sorghum cultivars, with an isolate from Rwanda being pathogenic to more sorghum differentials than any other. Cluster analysis of isolates based on host reaction indicated five groups at the 85% similarity level. The existence of pathogenic variability has ramifications for the breeding of sorghum for resistance to downy mildew in Africa.

AN - 17499587; 4691279 AB - In the eighteenth century, the economic problem was reformulated according to a particular set of politico-economic components, in which the pursuit of individual freedom was elevated to an ethical and political ideal. Subsequent developments of this individualist philosophy together with the achievements of technological progress now appear as a threat to future existence. Extensive environmental degradation and persistent global inequalities of wealth demand a new reformulation of the economic problem. Sustainable development has emerged as the most recent economic strategy for addressing concerns about ecological integrity and social justice. Although there is a recognized continuum of understanding about the concept - from conservative to radical - it has been argued that only the radical version of sustainable development embodies the ethical capacity to address these concerns. Simultaneously the perennial existential question "How should we live?" has been raised anew along with the novel ethico-moral question: "How should we arrange our systems of production and consumption to ensure the sustainability of the Earth under conditions of conspicuous and pressing environmentally limiting conditions?" Moreover, the strong normative dimension embodied in the radical version of sustainability represents a challenge to liberal democracy and its understanding of individual and collective goods. I argue that the radical approach has the capacity to relieve what is an inherently acute tension of modern life and to reconcile individual autonomy with the wider social and ecological good.

The impact of five major regulatory changes on banking sector risk was assessed using daily data for eighteen major U.S. regional banks, money center banks and savings and loan type depository institutions. Risk in this case was proxied via the use of an M-GARCH model which generates time dependent conditional beta estimates. The evidence obtained suggests that the impact of deregulation and reregulation on banking sector risk is case specific. Further, the results obtained show that the market model incorporating dummy variables, which has proven so popular amongst existing studies, discards important information about the variability of beta which the time varying conditional betas capture.

Stool samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunoassay techniques and with specific monoclonal antibodies for the toxins and CFs. The prevalence of ETEC was 14% (n = 662), with over 70% of the strains isolated from children 0 to 5 years of age, of whom 93% were in the 0- to 3-year-old age range. Of the total ETEC isolates, 49.4% were positive for the heat-stable toxin (ST), 25.4% were positive for the heat-labile toxin (LT) only, and 25.2% were positive for both LT and ST. The rate of ETEC isolation peaked in the hot summer months of May to September and decreased in winter. About 56% of the samples were positive for 1 or more of the 12 CFs that were screened for. The coli surface antigens CS4, CS5, and/or CS6 of the colonization factor antigen (CFA)/IV complex were most prevalent (incidence, 31%), followed by CFA/I (23.5%) and coli surface antigens CS1, CS2, and CS3 of CFA/II (21%). In addition, other CFs detected in decreasing order were CS7 (8%), CS14 (PCFO166) (7%), CS12 (PCFO159) (4%), CS17 (3%), and CS8 (CFA/III) (2.7%). The ST- or LT- and ST-positive ETEC isolates expressed the CFs known to be the most prevalent (i.e., CFA/I, CFA/II, and CFA/IV), while the strains positive for LT only did not. Among children who were infected with ETEC as the single pathogen, a trend of relatively more severe disease in children infected with ST-positive (P < 0.001) or LT- and ST-positive (P < 0.001) ETEC isolates compared to the severity of the disease in children infected with LT only-positive ETEC isolates was seen. This study supports the fact that ETEC is still a major cause of childhood diarrhea in Bangladesh, especially in children up to 3 years of age, and that measures to prevent such infections are needed in developing countries.

Particles in the size range from 0.015 to 0.697 mu m were measured with the scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and in the size range from 0.5 to 20 mu m, with the aerodynamic particle sizer (APS). In addition to number concentration measurements, an approximation of PM sub(2.5) fraction was obtained using a DustTrak (simple photometer). The measurements conducted at distances from the road ranging from 15 to 375 m showed, that for conditions where the wind is blowing directly from the road, the concentration of fine and ultrafine particles decays to around half of the maximum (measured at the closest point to the road) at a distance of approximately 100-150 m from the road. For the wind blowing parallel to the road, the reduction to half of the concentration occurs at 50-100 m. There is no effect on total particle number concentration at a distance greater than 15 m from the road when the wind is blowing towards the road and away from the sampling points. Total number concentrations of larger particles measured were not significantly higher than the average values for the urban environment, and decrease with distance from the road, reaching about 60% at 150 m from the road for wind from the road. PM sub(2.5) levels also decrease with distance to around 75% for wind from the road and to 65% for wind parallel to the road, at a distance of 375m.

Models based on scale invariance have been shown to provide parsimonious descriptors of the distribution of rainfall over a wide range of scales in both time and space. This paper presents some of the methods that are used to describe the scaling behaviour of rainfall. The scaling nature of rainfall affects both the ability to forecast rainfall and the selection of stochastic methods to generate plausible fields of rainfall. Examples of methods that exploit the space and time scaling of rainfall to produce short duration rainfall forecasts and stochastic simulations are provided.

Results showed that lung adenoma, hemangioma, and/or hemangiosarcoma, hepatocellular tumors, and malignant lymphoma were observed in urethane-treated mice. The incidence of vascular tumors in p53-deficient mice administered with 100 mg/kg/d urethane was 90%. No tumors were seen in untreated heterozygous p53 knockout mice or in wild-type mice, and d-limonene did not induce any treatment-related tumors in heterozygous p53 knockout mice. The results showed that the p53 model proved efficient for the induction of vascular tumors.

The ability of Cd to trigger the expression of metallothioneins was also determined. The cells were submitted to Cd concentrations ranging 0.1200 mu M for 2, 4, 6, 24, or 48 h. Results showed that an overexpression of hsp72 appeared 6 h after Cd exposure and reached its maximum 20 h later. In the long-term exposure, 10 mu M Cd induced a 230% increase of hsp72 after 4 d of exposure, but over longer periods of exposure, this effect faded until no response was seen at day 31. Metallothionein levels increased in a similar dose-related manner, and metallothionein overexpression was constant throughout Cd chronic exposure.

The pesticides used were identified and classified according to their probability of use by crop type, and residences from a population-based epidemiologic study of non-Hodgkin lymphoma were then located within the study region using a geographic information system (GIS). Using the GIS, the distance to and the area of crop fields within the range of pesticide drift were determined. The results indicated that a substantial proportion of the population in agricultural areas may have exposure to crop pesticides through the proximity of their residences to crop fields. In the study region, 22% of the population had crops within 500 m of the residence, indicating that residence in a town may not preclude exposure to crop pesticides.

Monitoring was conducted for one or two 6-d periods in each home, and data were collected on housing and time activity. Results showed that the range of indoor concentrations tended to be broader than that for the corresponding outdoor size fractions, reflecting the contribution of indoor sources to these particles. However, all indoor particulate sizes were correlated strongly with their outdoor levels. Outdoor PM sub(0.10.5) concentrations were significantly higher in summer than in winter, which was also found for indoor particulates. Diurnal variability in outdoor concentrations for all particle size fractions was much less pronounced than for indoors, where PM sub(0.020.1) concentrations were highest in the evening when the majority of cooking occurred in homes. The primary activities associated with particle generation were cooking, cleaning, and the movement of people. Fine particles were produced primarily from oven cooking, toasting, and barbecuing, while coarse particles were generated from sauteing, cleaning, and the movement of people. Frying contributed to the generation of both fine and coarse particles. Lower air-exchange rates corresponded to elevated particle concentrations, especially for fine particles.

Blood Se and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity were measured as biochemical markers for Se, and I in urine, thyroid-stimulating hormone in plasma, and thyroid volume were measured as indicators of I status. Statistically significant differences were found between the levels of Se, plasma glutathione peroxidase, and I in urine in the study and control groups. When the study group was divided into subgroups according to blood Se levels, significant differences were found between females belonging to the lower and upper Se quartiles. The blood Se, plasma glutathione peroxide activity, and I in urine values showed that the study group was both Se- and I-deficient.

Rats were exposed for 16 d to MeHg in drinking water at doses of 0, 2.5, or 10 mu g/ml. The animals were then sacrificed immediately or 14 d after termination of the treatment. The muscarinic antagonist, radiolabeled quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), was used to label the receptors. Results showed no significant differences in QNB binding between control and MeHg-treated rats in any of the brain regions, but binding was increased significantly in the hippocampus and cerebellum of the MeHg-exposed animals allowed to survive 14 d after treatment. In all brain areas, MeHg did not affect the affinity of mAChRs. In the MeHg-treated rats, significant increases in splenic lymphocyte QNB binding were observed both immediately after exposure and 14 d after the cessation of treatment, with the effects being dose-dependent. The affinity of lymphocyte mAChRs was not affected by MeHg treatment. The use of mAChRs as biomarkers of MeHg exposure is discussed.

Results are presented from a study in which the aromatic components eluted by in vitro polymerized Bis-GMA-based composites and sealants were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The dental products examined were selected from among commercial products available in Spain. Results showed that bisphenol A, Bis-DMA, bisphenol A diglycidylether, and Bis-GMA leached from composites and sealants both before and after polymerization. Elution of bisphenol A, as well as the other compounds, increased as the pH became more alkaline.

The levels were compared with reference subjects who had not consumed home-produced beef and eggs. Multivariate modeling of the PCDD/F levels was used to account for age and sex differences. Results showed that people who ate both home-produced eggs and meat for 215 yr had statistically significant two- to six-fold increases in blood levels of TCDD, pentaCDD, hexaCDDs, tetraCDF, pentaCDF, hexaCDFs, heptaCDF, and toxic equivalence concentrations. People who ate only home-produced eggs for 2 yr had lower elevations. Age and sex trends were apparent for most congeners and toxic equivalence concentrations, although only some of the age-associated trends were statistically significant. The study showed that food-chain bioaccumulation could occur at small subsistence farms in an area with PCDD/PCDF sources.

AN - 1419377102; 5383595 AB - The Mekong River basin is rich in aquatic resources that are critical to the livelihoods of the poor inhabitants of the region. Unfortunately, these resources are grossly undervalued and the existing legal and institutional structures are not adequate to protect and manage them in a sustainable manner. The legal structures are fragmented and the institutional responsibilities are often conflicting. There are no mechanisms for existing traditional systems and customary laws to be incorporated into the legal and institutional structures that are being developed. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that these structures are being developed with the assistance of external aid agencies and experts who are not aware of traditional systems and practices in these countries and tend to superimpose their own systems in an environment with totally different requirements. The fact that the real value of these resources for the local communities is not recognized or documented means that the assessment of the costs and benefits of development projects may be flawed.

AN - 1419374569; 5383592 AB - The Mekong River basin covers nearly 800 000 km super(2) and is home to more than 65 million people. The waters of the Mekong have shaped the pattern of human settlement in the region and created a vast natural resource base that has historically provided the primary basis of rural livelihood. Regarded as one of the earth's most diverse and productive ecosystems, the Mekong basin also provides a common cultural heritage for the people who have lived in the basin for centuries. The basin now covers parts of the territory of Burma, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, Vietnam and the Yunnan Province of China. The political division of the basin has, over many decades, given rise to different perspectives on its economic, social and environmental significance. While there have been differences over the use of the Mekong basin's resources, there is also a long history of attempts to create a common vision. Since the establishment of the Mekong Committee in the 1950s, the economic potential of the Mekong River has been assessed in terms hydropower development, water division and irrigation, logging, navigation, fisheries and tourism. Recent initiatives under the Asian Development Bank's Greater Mekong Subregion program and under other bilateral and multilateral schemes have targeted the Mekong for large-scale infrastructural development. It has been suggested that the water in the Mekong and its tributaries can be used to generate 285 400 GWh of electrical energy annually (MRC 1997) and that the rivers have the potential to irrigate several million hectares of agricultural land. Such large-scale development is put forward as the key to prosperity and to enhancing food security for the inhabitants of the basin. JF - ICLARM Stud. Rev.

Linking hillslope erosion to catchment yield in forestry environments remains difficult, however, primarily because of the scarcity of data on the nature of hillslope sediment storage and delivery processes. A large rainfall simulator (350 m super(2)) was used to apply rainstorms to a logged hillslope containing a snig track (skid trail) and a general logging or harvesting area (GHA) on 10 forest compartments in south-eastern Australia. The experiments confirmed that the compacted, disturbed surfaces, such as roads and tracks, are the dominant sources of sediment in forestry areas. Sediment transport rates were limited by available sediment supply on both the snig track and the GHA, introducing important implications for the modelling of these surfaces using sediment transport capacity theories. Sediment delivery from the snig track to the adjacent GHA, via a cross-bank (drainage diversion), was strongly influenced by the percentage fine fraction in the eroded sediment. Preferential deposition of coarse aggregates was measured at erosion control structures and on the adjacent GHA. Over 50% of fine-grained material were deposited on the hillslope over a relatively short, flow path length of < 5 m, highlighting the effectiveness of runoff diversion as a practice in reducing sediment flux. The transfer of water and sediment from disturbed to less disturbed parts of the landscape, and the associated potential for sediment storage, needs to be considered as part of any catchment impact assessment.

The IARC classifies MOCA as a probable human carcinogen. Suggested changes to guidelines for health surveillance of MOCA-exposed workers in Australia include a reduction in acceptable levels of urinary MOCA to below 15 mu mol/mol creatinine. Twelve male workers aged 24 and 42 years were recruited into this study from four work locations where MOCA is used. Exfoliated urothelial cells from prework urine samples on a midweek work day were assessed for micronucleus (MN) frequencies. Postwork urine samples were analysed for total MOCA. Blood samples collected on the same day were cultured for 96 h and cytochalasin-B-blocked cells were scored for MN. Eighteen male control subjects (23-59 years) provided corresponding urine and blood samples. Median urinary MOCA concentrations were 6.5 mu mol/mol creatinine (range 0.4-48.6 mu mol/mol creatinine) in postwork samples of MOCA-exposed workers. MOCA was not detected in urine of control workers. Mean MN frequencies were higher in urothelial cells and lymphocytes of MOCA workers (14.27 plus or minus 0.56 and 13.25 plus or minus 0.48 MN/1000 cells) than in controls (6.90 plus or minus 0.18 and 9.24 plus or minus 0.29 MN/1000 cells). The mean number of micronucleate cells was also higher in both tissues of exposed workers (9.69 plus or minus 0.32 and 8.54 plus or minus 0.14 MN cells/1000 cells) than in controls (5.18 plus or minus 0.11 and 5.93 plus or minus 0.13 MN cells/1000). There was no correlation between postwork urinary MOCA concentrations and MN frequencies in either tissue. This study suggests that exposures to MOCA in South Australia are similar to those of a decade ago and are at levels similar to those currently acceptable in Australia. These are associated with genotoxic effects in urothelial cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes. It may be prudent to reduce MOCA exposures in line with proposed guidance values.

Sharks were tracked for up to 26 h and generally swam slowly at 0.7 m s super(-1) parallel to the reef edge; occasionally they swam in a wide arc adjacent to passes in the reef. All tracked sharks made regular dives through the water column, mostly from the surface to near the bottom. These dives did not appear to be related to hydrographic features, and the sharks were probably searching the water column for food. Most sharks were accompanied by other fishes, usually the golden trevally Gnathanodon speciosus.

AN - 85255880; pmid-10585935 AB - The chronological relation between the establishment of lipid continuity and fusion pore formation has been investigated for fusion of cells expressing hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus to planar bilayer membranes. Self-quenching concentrations of lipid dye were placed in the planar membrane to monitor lipid mixing, and time-resolved admittance measurements were used to measure fusion pores. For rhodamine-PE, fusion pores always occurred before a detectable amount of dye moved into an HA-expressing cell. However, with DiI in the planar membrane, the relationship was reversed: the spread of dye preceded formation of small pores. In other words, by using DiI as probe, hemifusion was clearly observed to occur before pore formation. For hemifused cells, a small pore could form and subsequently fully enlarge. In contrast, for cells that express a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ectodomain of HA, hemifusion occurred, but no fully enlarged pores were observed. Therefore, the transmembrane domain of HA is required for the formation of fully enlarging pores. Thus, with the planar bilayer membranes as target, hemifusion can precede pore formation, and the occurrence of lipid dye spread does not preclude formation of pores that can enlarge fully.

AN - 759320123; 13726584 AB - The biomass, abundance, species diversity and length-frequency distribution of macrozooplankton and micronekton at a deep-ocean dumpsite southeast of Tasmania, Australia, were compared with those of the surrounding water masses. The dumping of jarosite - a waste product of zinc refining that contains trace quantities of heavy metals - began in 1973. The dumpsite, which typically receives 170,000 tonnes of jarosite per annum, is in an oceanographically, and biologically, dynamic area. Depending on season and large-scale oceanographic effects, the dumpsite can be dominated by high-salinity, warm waters of subtropical origin or low-salinity, cool waters of subantarctic origin. The comparisons of the macrozooplankton and micronekton parameters between water masses, and between the two years of the study (1992, 1993), did not show any changes that could be attributed to the jarosite dumping. Micronekton abundance was significantly lower over the dumpsite in 1992; however, this appears to be due to the presence of a warm-core eddy in the region of the dumpsite in that year. Changes in the regional oceanography between years also appear to account for significantly greater micronekton biomass over the dumpsite in 1993.

AN - 69330219; 10581319 AB - 1. Mechanisms underlying spontaneous rhythmical contractions have been studied in irideal arterioles of the rat using video microscopy and electrophysiology. 2. Rhythmical contractions (4 min-1) were more common during the second and third postnatal weeks and were always preceded by large, slow depolarizations (5-40 mV). 3. Spontaneous contractions were unaffected by tetrodotoxin (1 microM), neurotransmitter receptor antagonists, the sympathetic neurone blocker, guanethidine (5 microM) or sensory neurotoxin, capsaicin (1 microM). 4. Stimulation of sensory nerves inhibited spontaneous activity and this was not prevented by L-NAME (10 microm). 5. L-NAME (10 microm) caused an increase in frequency of spontaneous contractions, while forskolin (30 nM), in the presence of L-NAME, abolished spontaneous, but not nerve-mediated, contractions. 6. Spontaneous activity was not affected by felodipine (1 nM) or nifedipine (1 microM), but was abolished by cadmium chloride (1 microM) or superfusion with calcium-free solution. 7. Caffeine (1 mM), thapsigargin (2 microM) and cyclopiazonic acid (3 microM), but not ryanodine (3 microM), abolished spontaneous and nerve-mediated contractions. After preincubation in L-NAME (10 microM), cyclopiazonic acid abolished spontaneous contractions only. 8. Spontaneous depolarizations and contractions were abolished by 18alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid (20 microM). 9. Results suggest that spontaneous rhythmical contractions are myogenic and result from the cyclical release of calcium from intracellular stores, without a contribution from voltage-dependent calcium channels. Intercellular coupling through gap junctions appears to be essential for co-ordination of these events which could be modulated by nitric oxide and increases in cAMP. The possibility that different intracellular stores underly spontaneous and nerve-mediated contractions is discussed.

AN - 69295212; 10567210 AB - The preservation of tissue and organ homoeostasis depends on the regulated expression of genes controlling apoptosis (programmed cell death). In this study, we have investigated the basal transcriptional requirements of the survivin gene, an IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) prominently up-regulated in cancer. Analysis of the 5' flanking region of the human survivin gene revealed the presence of a TATA-less promoter containing a canonical CpG island of approximately 250 nt, three cell cycle dependent elements, one cell cycle homology region and numerous Sp1 sites. PCR-based analysis of human genomic DNA, digested with methylation-sensitive and -insensitive restriction enzymes, indicated that the CpG island was unmethylated in both normal and neoplastic tissues. Primer extension and S1 nuclease mapping of the human survivin gene identified two main transcription start sites at position -72 and within -57/-61 from the initiating ATG. Transfection of cervical carcinoma HeLa cells with truncated or nested survivin promoter-luciferase constructs revealed the presence of both enhancer and repressor sequences and identified a minimal promoter region within the proximal -230 nt of the human survivin gene. Unbiased mutagenesis analysis of the human survivin promoter revealed that targeting the Sp1 sequences at position -171 and -151 abolished basal transcriptional activity by approximately 63-82%. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assay with DNA oligonucleotides confirmed formation of a DNA-protein complex between the survivin Sp1 sequences and HeLa cell extracts in a reaction abolished by mutagenesis of the survivin Sp1 sites. These findings identify the basal transcriptional requirements of survivin gene expression.

AN - 21267743; 11702219 AB - Assessing the relationship of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) with subclinical measures of atherosclerotic disease supplements the epidemiologic data on fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events. In addition, such assessment offers the opportunity to study smaller populations (including subgroups within larger studies) through improved statistical precision relative to the analysis of the relationship of ETS and clinical events and provides insights into the mechanisms of the harmful effects of ETS. In this article we review the published literature on the relationship of ETS with several indices of subclinical atherosclerosis including carotid artery intimal-medial thickness, brachial artery endothelial functioning, and silent cerebral infarctions. In each of these domains, exposure to ETS is associated with evidence of increased subclinical vascular disease.

AN - 21251076; 11703779 AB - This 1998 workshop was convened to address the health risks of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace. It was paired with a 1997 workshop on issues related to ETS exposure in work environments ((italic)1(/italic)). In the 1998 workshop, a multidisciplinary group of participants was charged with reviewing evidence on the quantitative risks to health posed by ETS and to discuss development of risk assessment methodology for the future. The overall charges for the present workshop were to consider various health outcomes and make recommendations regarding those health outcomes to be included in assessment of health risk resulting from ETS in the workplace; to consider available studies addressing these health outcomes and to evaluate the validity of data for estimating risk from occupational ETS exposure; to review and evaluate mathematical models useful for estimating the risk due to ETS exposure; to examine dose-response models and to characterize the models regarding validity and uncertainty in estimating health risk attributable to ETS exposure in the workplace.

AN - 21250759; 11702215 AB - It is now recognized that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace and other settings outside the home may be equally as important as residential ETS exposure. This review examines the sources of misclassification in the assessment of workplace ETS exposure in questionnaire-based epidemiologic studies. Cogent to this discussion is the role of misclassification of ever smokers as never smokers, which is important in studies of both workplace and residential ETS exposure and lung cancer and is discussed first. The collective evidence from studies that have used direct or indirect approaches to estimate smoker misclassification shows that although some misclassification of ever smokers as never smokers exists in studies of ETS and lung cancer, the potential bias from the misclassification of smokers is unlikely to explain the observed increased risk of lung cancer associated with ETS exposure.

AN - 21249579; 11702218 AB - Low birth weight (LBW) increases infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. One well-established risk factor is maternal smoking. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure has recently been focused on as another potential risk factor. In this article, we review epidemiologic literature on the effects of ETS on LBW and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), the cause of LBW related to maternal smoking. As we consider the feasibility of modifying women's exposure, we focus our discussion on workplace exposure to ETS. The workplace is particularly important to consider because women of child-bearing age are present in the workplace in greater numbers now than ever before. In addition, certain subgroups of working women may be particularly at risk from the effects of ETS on pregnancy because they work in environments with higher exposure or they are more susceptible to its effects. We conclude that there is consistent evidence to relate maternal ETS exposure to an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and that this association may be generalized to the work environment. In studies with positive findings, infants exposed to ETS antenatally were 1.5-4 times more likely to be born with LBW, but few studies examined LBW. Most studies looked at measures of IUGR. ETS was associated with reductions in birth weight (adjusted for gestational age) ranging from 25 to 90 g. Infants born to women exposed to ETS were generally 2-4 times more likely to be born small-for-gestational age.

AN - 21249573; 11702216 AB - We reviewed the published epidemiologic studies addressing the relationship between workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and cardiovascular disease risk in three case-control studies and three cohort studies. Although the point estimates of risk for cardiovascular disease exceeded 1.0 in five of six studies, none of the relative risks was statistically significant because of the small number of cardiovascular end points occurring in individual studies. In common with most epidemiologic investigations of the health risks of ETS, none of the workplace studies included independent biochemical validation of ETS exposure. In contrast to the evidence on increased cardiovascular disease risk from exposure to spousal ETS, studies of ETS exposure in the workplace are still sparse and inconclusive. Conversely, there is no biologically plausible reason to believe that the hazards of ETS exposure that have been demonstrated in the home should not also apply to the workplace.

The mechanism underlying this pathological phenomenon is not known. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is up-regulated in large sensory neurons and ensheathing satellite cells following a sciatic nerve injury. In the present study, we investigated the effects of BDNF on the sympathetic sprouting in the DRG, by delivering BDNF antibody or antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to injured DRGs, or by delivering exogenous BDNF to intact DRGs. The sheep antibody to BDNF, characterized by bioassays and dot blots, specifically reacted with BDNF but not other neurotrophins. Noradrenergic fibres were visualized by immunostaining of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and quantified by an NIH Imaging program. Two weeks following L5 spinal nerve lesion, a dramatic increase in TH-immunoreac-tive (-ir) fibres was observed in both ipsi- and contralateral DRGs in normal sheep IgG treated rats. BDNF antibody significantly reduced the sprouting of sympathetic nerves in both ipsi- and contra-lateral DRGs by 67% and 42% respectively. BDNF antisense oligodeoxynucleotide, by inhibiting BDNF synthesis in DRGs, also significantly suppressed the sprouting by 67% and 60% respectively in the ipsi- and contralateral DRGs. Delivery of exogenous BDNF into an intact L5 DRGs resulted in an increase in the sprouting by 4.2-fold. Our results clearly indicate that BDNF, synthesized in and secreted from the DRGs, is involved in the sympathetic sprouting in the DRG following the peripheral nerve injury.

This study has further developed the probability matching method by introducing formulae by which radar reflectivity and rain rate relationships can be parametrised by assuming they fit known probability distributions. It is shown that rain rate (R) and radar reflectivity (Z) are basically log-normally distributed; hence respective population means and standard deviations provide the required probability distributions. A probability matching technique is developed based on this assumption. In practice the use of truncated log-normal distributions is found to be necessary to give the best fit in the development of Z-R relations. Results presented for the Darwin region indicate reasonable agreement between rainfall values obtained with this approach and those employing traditional power law relationships and empirically based probability matching methods. The effects of threshold values are also evaluated using an error process analysis and an optimisation algorithm to minimise the nonlinear object function of rainfall estimation. The optimised thresholds for the truncated log-normal distributions of radar reflectivity and rainfall in Darwin, Australia, are found to be around 21 dBZ and 1.2 mm h super(-1) respectively.

In these models, the Reynolds stress terms are expressed using Prandtl's mixing length model. The energy dissipation is evaluated using internal kinematic quantities (vorticity and shear distortion rate) because laboratory experiments have revealed that the energy dissipation of plunging breakers demonstrate a strong correlation to internal kinematic quantities. A new concept termed "vortex radius" is defined as the circulation divided by the local horizontal velocity, and the representative scale of length is given by this vortex radius. Even though the representative scale of length is evaluated using the zero-order turbulence model, the scale changes spatially in accordance with flow conditions. The qualitative and quantitative accuracies of the models are examined by comparing turbulence properties with experimental results for plunging breakers on a uniform slope. Furthermore, the internal characteristics of plunging breakers are numerically investigated.

I. Effects on macrofaunal and meiofaunal invertebrates AN - 17656173; 4708655 AB - Manipulative experiments using patches of artificial seagrass were set up at two temperate Australian locations in order to identify whether invertebrates were principally attracted to the structural features of seagrass habitats or to high levels of associated food production. Faunal responses to different treatments were largely consistent at the two sites. Number of species, abundance, biomass and productivity of invertebrates were all overwhelmingly influenced by the addition of surface debris to treatments, whereas the presence of artificial seagrass leaves produced little response. Total invertebrate numbers were negatively affected by the presence of buried seagrass material, and nematodes were negatively affected by reduction in quantity of fine organic particles amongst sediment. Invertebrate communities were therefore inferred to be primarily structured by food availability, particularly food in the form of seagrass debris for epifauna and fine organic particles for infaunal nematodes, and to show little direct dependence on structural characteristics of seagrass beds.

II. Effects on fishes, decapods and cephalopods AN - 17651645; 4708656 AB - The relative influences that seagrass structure and trophic resources exert on the species richness, abundance, biomass and productivity of epibenthic fishes and invertebrates were assessed using manipulative field experiments. All community variables increased significantly when seagrass structure was added to experimental plots but were little affected by enhanced food resources in the form of debris-associated prey. Epibenthic productivity therefore appears much less strongly coupled with food availability than was macrofaunal and meiofaunal productivity, possibly because of a lag between epifaunal food accumulation and fish recruitment. Gut content studies nevertheless indicated that sand-dwelling as well as seagrass-dwelling fishes in the vicinity of seagrass patches were primarily foraging on large amphipods and other invertebrates associated with the seagrass patches, and that the mean size of sand-dwelling species was elevated near Artificial Seagrass Units. Results of this study suggest that fishes and epibenthic invertebrates preferentially select seagrass beds over bare areas for settlement but do not initially discriminate between beds with different levels of food resources.

Reynolds (1998) recently wrote a short piece in this journal lamenting the state of the art of freshwater ecology. Others have recently foreshadowed the end of science altogether. It is my argument here that the end of science is not nigh and that there are fundamental advances to be made in understanding ecosystem function. Despite changes to the funding base of freshwater ecology over the years, the discipline can continue to make fundamental contributions to ecology. We have an excellent base of raw material to work with, however, collected. 2. As a rebuttal to Reynolds (1998) I present evidence that ecosystems (and freshwater ecosystems in particular) may well be a lot simpler than we think. Buried deep within a very complex world there are some general modes of behaviour, determined by fundamental principles, which impart certain kinds of high level order and predictability. 3. By means of six propositions I argue the case for the existence of these fundamental principles and present empirical evidence for each. 4. In conclusion it is clear that there is a need for fundamental information about the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function. There is also a need to understand the interplay between environmental perturbations, biodiversity and functional groups which together determine the cycling of energy and materials within freshwater and estuarine systems. While we have considerable information about northern hemisphere aquatic ecosystems less is known about southern hemisphere systems.

All three species of macroinvertebrate selected green willow most strongly over the other leaf types (senescent willow, green eucalypt and senescent eucalypt). Growth rates of P. gibbosa and Notalina sp. were significantly greater on green willow than on the other leaf types. We were unable to measure the growth of Koorrnonga sp. Invertebrates had access to softer internal tissues of leaf material during preference trials, therefore we do not think that leaf structure was the main influence on selection between these materials. Green willow material may have been a better food source because of the noticeably thicker biofilm that it supported, and this material may also retain higher levels of nutrients than abscissed leaves. We speculate that willow leaves may provide a preferred source of food but will be available for less time than native eucalypt detritus.

Hickmania troglodytes is a prominent member of the Tasmanian cave fauna, a spider of phylogenetic, zoogeographic and ecological importance, but about which little has previously been known. Long-term monitoring has revealed many unusual life-cycle characteristics in this species, most of which occur over long periods of time and are dependent upon environmental stability. The species presents a potentially useful tool in the management and monitoring of cave fauna and karst, as it is large, conspicuous, numerous, ubiquitous, sedentary, functionally significant and potentially sensitive to various sources of disturbance. H. troglodytes may provide a visible and obvious measure of disturbance in and around cave entrances, and may also prove useful in detecting broader scale impacts affecting the entire cave. Many promising developments are being made in terms of cave management in Tasmania, but other issues are less well addressed and still need to be resolved. With further research, the use of indicator or sentinel species may prove to be well suited to the less complex and often sparsely populated subterranean environment, and may play an important role within larger management strategies for cave fauna and karst.

This paper reports on preliminary findings of competition trials between larvae of B. marinus and native anurans in the Darling Downs area. Trials conducted in artificial ponds (1.4 x 1.2 x 0.2 m) indicated that Bufo reduced the growth of three native species (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis (Gunther), Limnodynastes terraereginae (Fry) and Notaden bennetti (Gunther)), and in some trials reduced the survival of two species (L. tasmaniensis and L. terraereginae). A fourth species (Limnodynastes ornatus (Grey)) showed higher growth rates with Bufo resulting from a non-significant reduction in survival in those treatments. One of two trials conducted in enclosures (1.0 x 0.5 x 0.4 m) placed in a permanent water body indicated that B. marinus had a negative effect on growth of L. tasmaniensis. A survey of 30 breeding sites in the area found that Bufo used only a small number of water bodies in one breeding season and showed little overlap of pool use with most native species. Therefore, although B. marinus may negatively affect growth and survival of native anurans under some circumstances, the potential impact of B. marinus may be minimal if there are always many breeding sites where native anurans can breed in the absence of B. marinus. A more extensive assessment of temporal and spatial overlap of water body use by B. marinus and native anurans is needed to understand the exact impact of B. marinus in this region.

To date, very few invertebrate studies have considered what trap size is optimal for sampling spiders. This study presents preliminary findings from a single short sampling period on the role of trap size in sampling spiders in a Western Australian Jarrah forest. Four different trap diameters (4.3, 7.0, 11.1 and 17.4 cm) were examined (4 trap sizes x 15 replicates = 60 traps). Two-way ANOVAs revealed no significant interaction effects between trap size or the spatial positioning of transects within the study site along which the pitfall traps were arranged. Post-hoc tests revealed abundance, family richness and species richness increased with increasing trap sizes for traps greater than or equal to 7.0 cm. No significant differences in these dependent variables occurred between 4.3 and 7.0 cm traps, or for species richness between 11.1 and 17.4 cm traps. Determination of an optimal trap size was undertaken by bootstrapping and calculating species accumulation curves for increasing numbers of traps used. Three different criteria were considered: equivalent number of traps (15), standardized sampling intensity (cumulative trap circumference, approximately 207 cm) and standardized cumulative handling time (approximately 1 hour 17 minutes). The largest trap size (17.4 cm) was most efficient in terms of number of traps and trap circumference. For the same number of traps, it caught 19 species whereas all other trap sizes caught less than or equal to ten species. At the standardized circumference, it caught seven species whereas all other trap sizes caught five. For handling time, however, the two largest trap sizes (17.4 and 11.1 cm) were optimal. Both caught nine species whereas all other traps caught Congressional Research Service, The Boulevard Kidlington Oxford OX5 1GB KW - Environment Abstracts KW - ENV LIABILITY KW - LEGISLATION, FEDERAL KW - ECONOMIC IMPACT, LAND POLLUTION KW - SUPERFUND SITES KW - LAND RECLAMATION KW - WASTE SITE REMEDIATION KW - COMPREHENSIVE ENV RESPONSE ACT 80 KW - ENA 07:General UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/14583938?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%3Aenvabstractsmodule&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=CRS+Report+for+Congress%3A+Order+Code+98-136+A&rft.atitle=Superfund+Act+Reauthorization%3A+Liability+Provisions+of+Leading+Congressional+Proposals+%28Updated+December+21%2C+1999%29&rft.au=Meltz%2C+Robert&rft.aulast=Meltz&rft.aufirst=Robert&rft.date=1999-12-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=CRS+Report+for+Congress%3A+Order+Code+98-136+A&rft.issn=&rft_id=info:doi/ L2 - http://www.csa.com/htbin/envabs.cgi?pdf=01-13835.pdf LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2009-08-01 N1 - Document feature - |n 49 |t References N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-15 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - ENV LIABILITY; LEGISLATION, FEDERAL; ECONOMIC IMPACT, LAND POLLUTION; SUPERFUND SITES; WASTE SITE REMEDIATION; LAND RECLAMATION; COMPREHENSIVE ENV RESPONSE ACT 80 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Lung Cancer and Environmental Tobacco Smoke: Occupational Risk to Nonsmokers AN - 14527968; 10581115 AB - Using data from a number of studies that have related lung cancer in nonsmoking women to the number of cigarettes smoked per day by the husbands, the risk of lung cancer from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace was estimated. From the relationship between the number of cigarettes/day smoked by the husband and levels of cotinine, the prediction model for the US was applied to estimate risk from cotinine levels alone, such that data on serum cotinine and on airborne nicotine collected by personal monitors could be used to estimate risk from ETS in the workplace. The increase in lung cancer risk for a nonsmoking women exposed to ETS at work was estimated at 25% relative to the risk from background sources. The excess risk from ETS at work appeared to be less than that from spousal smoking at typical exposure levels.

AN - 14527697; 10581118 AB - Pharmaceuticals and active ingredients in personal care products are discharged into the environment on a continual basis via domestic/industrial sewage systems and wet-weather runoff. The bioactive ingredients are first subjected to metabolism by the user, and the excreted metabolites and unaltered parent compounds can then be subjected to further transformations in sewage-treatment facilities. A review is presented of the relevant literature in the following areas: sources and origins of pharmaceuticals in the environment, the significant aspects of ecotoxicology, environmental studies on pharmaceuticals, and drug classes and environmental occurrences. The drug classes include: hormones/mimics, antibiotics, blood lipid regulators, nonopioid analgesics/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers/ beta sub(2)-sypathomimetics, antidepressants/obsessivecompulsive regulators, antiepileptics, antineoplastics, impotence drugs, tranquilizers, retinoids, and diagnostic contrast media. Personal care products in the environment are described for preservatives, disinfectants/antiseptics, sunscreen agents, and nutraceuticals/herbal remedies. Also considered are nontarget organism exposure to and effects from pharmaceuticals and personal care products and the role of regulatory agencies in the US and Europe.

A Review of Potential Biases and Experimental Data AN - 14526405; 10581110 AB - The increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure has been viewed as disproportionately large compared to the risk caused by active cigarette smoking. This apparent discrepancy between risk estimates for active and passive smoking is examined, looking first at several possible methodological problems or biases that have been hypothesized to explain the strength of the observed association, including publication bias, residual confounding, and exposure misclassification. Subsequently, explanations as to why the ETS/coronary heart disease relationship might be larger than expected based on cigarette equivalents are considered in terms of: the magnitude of the association that might be expected based on studies of active smoking; doseresponse relationships between ETS exposure and platelet function, vascular endothelium, and cardiac exercise tolerance; discrepancies between ETS and mainstream smoke regarding certain components of ETS exposure not accounted for accurately by the measure of cigarette equivalents; and why the effects of ETS on active smokers may differ from effects on nonsmokers.

Fundamental concepts in ETS exposure assessment are presented, including definitions related to ETS exposure, the chain linking ETS sources to health effects, and ETS exposure assessment for the purposes of health risk assessment. The most commonly used ETS exposure assessment methods are then introduced, and selection of the most appropriate method for ETS exposure assessment is discussed. Data from the literature are provided to show the ETS levels in the work and residential environments and the link between smoking rate and indoor air marker concentrations.

The study results suggest in a limited way that ETS exposure in general and especially ETS exposure in the workplace contribute to both the development and exacerbation of asthma. The evidence suggests that individual asthmatics and groups of asthmatics respond to levels of ETS that do not elicit responses in healthy subjects.

One utilizes epidemiologic studies that directly evaluate excess lung cancer risk from ETS exposure, and the other utilizes regression models developed using the full range of exposures in active smokers or using only data restricted to low-exposure rates. Results from a number of studies are summarized to show that estimates of cigarette equivalents are similar using descriptive models over the full range of data on smokers or on data restricted to low-exposed smokers and using biologically motivated models. Cigarette equivalents are estimated to range 0.11.0 cigarettes/d, a range that is consistent with model-based estimates of relative risk.

The approaches include a unit risk or continuous approach in which excess lifetime risk is determined by level of exposure, and an exposed/nonexposed or categorical approach that is based on epidemiologic studies that consider relative risks for exposed compared to nonexposed populations. Both approaches must ultimately convert a relative risk for a population to an individual lifetime excess risk. The 1994 risk assessment issued by OSHA for ETS and lung cancer and heart disease is reviewed, and several modifications to OSHA's calculations are proposed, such as the use of newer epidemiologic studies with relative risks specific to workplace ETS exposure.

In all, 17 such studies conducted in nine countries were identified. In 16 of the studies, there was a suggestion of increased coronary heart disease risk associated with ETS exposure from a spouse. In three of the studies, coronary heart disease risk was higher when the spouse continued to smoke than when the spouse quit smoking, and risk was higher when the spouse smoked more cigarettes per day in six of the seven studies that considered this aspect. Three commonly raised criticisms of the epidemiologic studies are addressed: publication bias, confounding, and misclassification of exposure.

The air pollutants of interest were sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulates. Results showed that the prevalence of asthma ranged from 4.6% in Yunlin County in central Taiwan to 12.0% in Taipei County in northern Taiwan. Principal component analysis of the data revealed that nonsummer temperature and winter humidity were associated with the lifetime cumulative incidence of asthma. A strong correlation was also found between traffic-related pollutants and lifetime prevalence of asthma in both boys and girls, especially for CO and NO sub(x), but no consistent relationship was found for O sub(3), SO sub(2), and PM sub(10).

The findings are summarized in terms of academic performance and achievement scores, performance on neuropsychologic tests, and behavioral assessments. The studies suggest that environmental tobacco smoke exposure to the mother during pregnancy or to the child during postnatal development may be related to small adverse effects on neurodevelopment or behavior.

Cultures were grown under white fluorescent light without supplementary UVA or UVB radiation and were extracted after harvest in tetrahydrofuran:methanol (20:80, v/v). Ratios of UV absorbance (280 to 390 nm) to chlorophyll a (chl a) (665 nm) obtained by spectrophotometry ranged from 0.18 to 6.75. Three groups of species were distinguished: those with low UV:chl a ratios (0.18 to 0.9, diatoms, green algae, cyanophytes, euglenophytes, eustigmatophytes, rhodophytes, some dinoflagellates, some prymnesiophytes), those with intermediate ratios (0.9 to 1.4, chrysophytes, some prasinophytes, some prymnesiophytes) and those with very high ratios (1.4 to 6.75, surface bloom-forming dinoflagellates, cryptomonads, prymnesiophytes and raphidophytes). UV-absorbing pigments varied across species of the same algal class and strains of the same species. HPLC analysis of extracts of 5 species (1 diatom, 2 bloom-forming raphidophytes and 2 bloom-forming dinoflagellates) showed suites of mycosporine-like amino acids in 4 of them, which included mycosporine-glycine, asterina-330, shinorine, porphyra-334 and palythine. The dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum also contained major quantities of unknown UV-absorbing compounds.

Public Law 106-98, 106th Congress. AN - 62313687; ED448630 AB - This Act was passed to establish a program that enables college-bound residents of the District of Columbia to have greater choices among institutions of higher education. The Act provides that the District of Columbia, through the Mayor, will award grants to institutions of higher education in Maryland and Virginia that will pay the difference between the tuition and fees charged in those states for in-state students and those paid by out-of-state students, thus guaranteeing that students from the District of Columbia will pay in-state tuition and fees in those states. No more than $10,000 each year and a total of $50,000 may be paid on behalf of each student from public schools, and no more than $2,500 for each award year and a total of $12,500 may be paid on behalf of students from private schools. Provisions of the law define eligible institutions and students and authorize necessary appropriations. The Act also authorizes appropriations for the University of the District of Columbia.

These log-rows resemble contour banks used in agriculture and it is expected that they perform a similar function of erosion control. Gully erosion was observed in a forest cleared for pine plantation in SE Australia. The gullies appeared to be associated with flow diversion around log-rows, particularly where log-rows do not follow the contour precisely. A digital elevation model (DEM) of the plantation was used to investigate how the distribution of erosion hazard, as a function of upslope contributing area and local gradient, had been changed by the log-rows. We found that benefits gained by decreased erosion hazard on many parts of the landscape were outweighed by increased erosion hazard at the end of log-rows and in hillslope valleys. This is because of the non-linear increase in erosion hazard with increasing upslope catchment area. The log-rows increased the probable extent of gully erosion by 1.5-1.7 times and the total sediment transport capacity, summed over the landscape, by 1.5 times. The results lead us to suggest techniques for improved log-row construction and plantation preparation.

The experiment covered stockings ranging from 500 to 1667 stems ha super(-1) (SPH). At age 5 years there was competition within the stand and significant impacts of stocking on tree growth. The degree of competition varied with stocking, indicated by green crown height which varied significantly with stocking, ranging from nearly 5 m at 1500 SPH to 2.5 m at 500 SPH. Restriction of branch growth therefore occurred earlier at higher stockings, however, tree diameter growth was also restricted by higher stocking. The mean dominant height (MDH) of the stand was 15.15 m at age 5 years with no difference between stockings. Total stand volume was significantly related to stocking, higher stocking having higher volume. Forks and ramicorns were prevalent and 16% of all stems had forks and 44% had forks or ramicorns. Below 1000 SPH the mean largest branch in the first 6 m log length was over 35 mm. The number of branches larger than 35 mm increased rapidly at lower stockings. The trial was also evaluated for commercial thinning and selection of 300 final crop stems suitable for pruning and growing to produce sawlogs or veneer logs. At age 5 years only 37% of stems met the requirement for selection for final crop. If branch criteria for final crop selection were included, 1000 SPH produced barely sufficient numbers of select stems. The implications of stocking on stand management are discussed and initial stockings of 1000-1100 SPH are recommended for E. nitens plantations.

The home range centres, and the genotypes at four polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci were determined for adult lizards in a 70-ha study area near Mount Mary, South Australia. From estimates of genetic relatedness, females were as closely related to other females as they were to males, both within the whole study area, and within home ranges. Similarly, males were as closely related to other males as they were to females. This suggests that dispersal in the population is not sex-biased. Sleepy lizards form monogamous pairs during the spring. Partners were less closely related to each other than to other potential partners in the home range area. This suggests active choice of unrelated partners. The mechanism for recognising related from unrelated individuals is unknown, but the behaviour could reduce inbreeding.

A Report on the Telecommunications and Information Technology Gap in America. Revised. AN - 62408922; ED440200 AB - This report provides comprehensive data on the level of access by Americans to telephones, computers, and the Internet. It also provides valuable information about where Americans are gaining access and what they are doing with their online connections. These data, from the U.S. Census, provide a factual foundation for key policy initiatives to promote greater access for all Americans. Access to the Internet has soared for people in all demographic groups and geographic locations. At the end of 1998, over 40% of all U.S. households owned computers, and one-quarter of all households had access to the Internet. However, the digital divide persists between the information rich and the information poor, who include younger people, those with lower incomes and education levels, certain minorities, and those in rural areas or central cities. Whites are more likely to have access to the Internet from home than Blacks or Hispanics are from any location. Black and Hispanic households are approximately one-third as likely to have home Internet access as households of Asian/Pacific Islander descent and roughly two-fifths as likely as White households. Regardless of income level, Americans in rural areas lag in Internet access. At the lowest income levels, those in urban areas are more than twice as likely to have Internet access than those earning the same income in rural areas. For many groups, the digital gap has widened. An appendix contains information about the trendline study through 1998. (Contains 113 charts and 5 tables.)

Nov/Dec 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-09-26 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Lipopolysaccharide- and Cholera Toxin-Specific Subclass Distribution of B-Cell Responses in Cholera AN - 17578671; 4652128 AB - The immunoglobulin subclass responses to homologous lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to cholera toxin (CT) in adult patients infected with Vibrio cholerae 01 and V. cholerae 0139 were studied. LPS-specific antibodysecreting cells (ASC) of both the immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) and IgA2 subclasses were seen, with the IgA1 ASC response predominating in both V. cholerae 01- and 0139-infected patients. For antibodies in plasma, by day 11 after onset of disease, all V. cholerae 01- infected patients responded to homologous LPS with the IgA1 subclass (P = 0.001), whereas fewer (68%) responded with the IgA2 subclass (P = 0.007). About 89% of V. cholerae 0139-infected patients responded with the IgA1 subclass (P = 0.003), and only 21% responded with the IgA2 subclass (not significant [NS]). Both groups of cholera patients showed significant increases in LPS-specific IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 antibodies in plasma. In feces, the response to homologous LPS occurred in both groups of patients with the IgA1 and IgA2 subclasses, with 55 to 67% of patients showing a positive response. V. cholerae 01- and 0139-infected patients showed CT-specific ASC responses of the different IgG and IgA subclasses in the circulation, and the pattern followed the order IgG1 > IgA1 > IgG2 > IgA2, with low levels of IgG3 and IgG4 ASC. Plasma anti-CT antibody responses in all subclasses were seen by day 11 after onset of disease. Although there were no increases in CT-specific ASC of the IgG3 (NS) and IgG4 (NS) subtypes, there were significant increases of these two subclasses in plasma (P less than or equal to 0.001). The response to CT in the fecal extracts was contributed to by both IgA1 and IgA2 isotypes, with 67 to 75% of the patients responding. Thus, the mucosa-derived ASC and fecal antibodies to LPS and CT were of both the IgA1 and IgA2 subclasses; in plasma, the contribution from IgA2 was lower. Very little difference in the B-cell responses to LPS and CT in the different subclasses was seen in the two groups of cholera patients. Vaccines against 01 and 0139 cholera ideally should stimulate antibody subclasses that are likely to offer protection.

Analyses of synoptic charts during the migration period show that autumn immigrants originated from New Zealand and comprised a single species of noctuid moth, Agrotis ipsilon (Walker). Spring immigrants originated from Australia and comprised two noctuids, Dasypodia selenophora Guenee and Persectania ewingii Westwood and a butterfly, Vanessa kershawi (McCoy). Autumn migrations were associated with depressions in the southern Tasman Sea. Spring migrations were associated with the eastward passage of prefrontal airflows ahead of cold fronts which extended from southern Australia to the west of Macquarie Island. In an analysis of one of these events, winds exceeded 30 ms super(-1) at 300 m altitude and could have transported migrants from Tasmania to Macquarie Island overnight in less than 10 h. Flight activity was assisted by the presence of a nocturnal temperature inversion that maintained upper air temperatures above 5 degree C. The effect of potential global warming on the migration and colonization of Macquarie Island by insects is discussed.

In contrast, mini-F plasmid molecules lacking the sopABC segment are randomly localized in cytoplasmic areas at cell poles. In this study, we analysed the subcellular localization of an oriC plasmid that contains the minimum E. coli chromosomal replication origin and its flanking regions. These oriC plasmid molecules were mainly localized in cytosolic areas at cell poles. On the other hand, oriC plasmid DNA molecules carrying the sopABC segment of F plasmid were localized at cell quarter sites, as were actively partitioning mini-F plasmid DNA molecules. Therefore, we conclude that oriC itself and its flanking regions are not sufficient for positioning the replication origin domain of the E. coli chromosome within the cell.

The previously unknown natural diet of the mussels consists of bacteria, Synechococcus-type cyanobacteria, and protozoans. Overall retention increased with increasing mussel size, though the largest mussels did not retain bacteria. Mussels can obtain as much as 0.12 mu mol N g super(-1) h super(-1) by filter feeding on natural water-column communities. Previous calculations indicate that nitrogen acquired through the symbionts is inadequate for maximal growth, but our conservative estimates suggest that nitrogen obtained by filter feeding is similar to that acquired by symbionts and may be an important component in the nutritional requirements of seep mussels. Additionally, we conducted a series of in situ measurements of flow and food availability over an extensive mussel bed located at the Brine Pool. Our measurements indicate that biogenic flow due to mussel pumping generates near-bottom turbulence that prevents the development of a food-depleted layer over the mussel bed.

Thrips comprise the only order besides Hymenoptera where females are diploid and males are haploid. This makes them useful insects for studying the roles of kin selection and ecology in social evolution. 2. Kladothrips hamiltoni is one of six species of Australian gall-inducing thrips that have been identified as eusocial. Galls are initiated by a single foundress, who rears her brood and remains within the enclosed gall for life. The adults of both sexes of her first brood cohort are morphologically distinct from the second generation, comprising a nondispersing soldier caste. The foundress and sib-mated soldiers jointly produce a second, dispersing generation, approximately 60-80% of which are produced by the soldiers. Mean per capita egg production of female soldiers is less than 33% that of the foundress. 3. Adult eclosion of soldiers is protandrous but the overall sex ratio of the soldiers lacks bias (52% male). Protandry of soldiers increases the probability that female soldiers will be inseminated soon after their eclosion and therefore lay fertilised, female eggs. The lack of bias could be due to a balance between local resource competition and local mate competition. Gender-specific defensive behaviour of soldiers with their enemies may also be important in explaining this unexpected sex ratio. 4. The dispersing generation has an overall extreme female bias (5.6% male). Soldier incest increases relatedness between females more than between males, such that the foundress is more related to her granddaughters than her daughters, and female soldiers are more related to their daughters than their sons (assuming within-gall relatedness <1). A female bias in the offspring of soldiers should be preferred by both the foundress and soldiers as they are more related to soldier-produced dispersing females than any other thrips in the gall. Female bias in the dispersing generation will also reduce local mate competition between males. Both soldier incest and local mate competition may therefore contribute to the extreme female bias in the dispersing generation. 5. Selection pressures for sociality in gall-inducing thrips appear to be more similar to those in gall-inducing aphids and naked mole rats than to those in Hymenoptera.

The center treats more than 100,000 patients a year. To obtain useful information representative of all patients, a surveillance system in which a 4% systematic sample of all patients is studied in detail, including etiological agents of diarrhea, was installed in October 1979. The first paper on etiology for the surveillance patients was published in 1982, which identified a potential enteric pathogen in 66% of patients. In subsequent years, several new agents of diarrhea have been identified. To assess the importance of a broader spectrum of diarrheal agents including the ones identified relatively recently, we studied 814 children with diarrhea. The children were up to 5 years of age and were part of the surveillance system. They were matched with an equal number of community controls without diarrhea. The study was conducted from February 1993 to June 1994. A potential enteric pathogen was isolated from 74.8% of diarrheal children and 43.9% of control children (P = 0.0001). Even though the first study was not a case-control study, it identified rotavirus, Campylobacter jejuni, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and Vibrio cholerae O1 as major pathogens. The present study identified these pathogens as being significantly associated with diarrhea. In addition, the study also identified six additional agents, including enteropathogenic E. coli, Aeromonas spp., V. cholerae O139, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium difficile, and Cryptosporidium parvum, as being significantly associated with diarrhea. Plesiomonas shigelloides, Salmonella spp., diffusely adherent E. coli, enteroaggregative E. coli, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia were not significantly associated with diarrhea. Enteroinvasive E. coli, enterohemorrhagic E. coli, and Cyclospora cayetanensis were not detected in any of the children. The major burden of diseases due to most pathogens occurred in the first year of life. As in the previous study, seasonal patterns were seen for diarrhea associated with rotavirus, V. cholerae, and enterotoxigenic E. coli, and infections with multiple pathogens were common. With a few exceptions, these findings are in agreement with those from other developing countries. This knowledge of a broader spectrum of etiological agents of diarrhea in the surveillance patients will help us plan studies into various aspects of diarrheal diseases in this population.

Part 1. Experiments and model calibration AN - 17295038; 4625094 AB - Changes in land use in the Mallee region of southeastern Australia have led to increased groundwater recharge and salinisation. This study was conducted to determine the impact of different agronomic practices on recharge control, in particular episodic recharge. During the period 1991-1995, two field experiments were carried out at Hillston (New South Wales) and Wallpeup (Victoria) where soil hydraulic properties, soil-moisture content, and leaf area index were measured. Various crop and pasture rotations were considered involving fallow, field pea (Piscum salivum L cv Dunndale), Indian mustard (Brassica juncca cv F2 cross), wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Janz Meering), oats (Avena sateva L. cv Coolabah), lucerne (Medicago sativa L. cv. Arora) and medic pastures (Medicago truncatula cv Parriagio, Sephi and Hykon). Data obtained from these experiments were used to calibrate and test a biophysically based model WAVES. With minimum calibration, the simulated soil-moisture content and leaf area index are in good agreement with field observations. The parameter values are within a physically reasonable range. The success of the model in simulating soil-moisture dynamics and plant growth was due to the accurate representation of the soil and canopy processes. WAVES combined with field measurements provides a powerful tool for estimating the impacts of land-management options on water balance.

The conventional method for aromatase inhibitor screening utilizes an in vitro enzyme assay with human placental microsomes as sources of the enzyme. A novel screening method is described and evaluated, which was developed by coexpressing the human aromatase enzyme and the mouse androgen receptor in yeast cells carrying the androgen-responsive reporter plasmid. The screening method was evaluated using aromatase inhibitors with and without androgen activity. The results show that the screening method allows the distinction between nonandrogenic aromatase inhibitors and inhibitors with androgenic activity. Therefore, the method will be useful in screening environmental chemicals for their androgen activity.

The children lived near an automobile battery recycling plant that was shut down soon after the initial study. Venous blood Pb and erythrocyte protoporphyrin/zinc protoporphyrin (EP-ZnPP) levels in the affected children were compared with those of children living in the nearest community. Results showed that the Pb poisoning problem in the children persisted, as there were significant differences between the mean blood Pb and EP-ZnPP levels of Haina children and those living in the nearest community. However, the blood Pb levels in Haina had dropped significantly over the six-month period.

Captive pairs were bred under control or electromagnetic field conditions for one or two breeding seasons. Results showed that short-term electromagnetic field exposure affected overall melatonin levels in males, and the time and treatment time interactions were significant. Similar interactions were observed in males with long-term exposure. No such effects were observed in adult females. In fledglings, short-term electromagnetic field exposure had no effect on plasma melatonin, but long-term exposure suppressed plasma melatonin.

Daily deaths were read from the annual detail mortality tapes of the National Statistical Office for January 1995 through the end of August 1996. Results indicated a strong association between mortality and particulate air pollution in the city. The association was statistically significant in a model controlling for other variables, and exhibited an exposureresponse relationship, with mortality risk increasing with a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(10). PM sub(10) was correlated significantly and positively with NO sub(2), SO sub(2), and CO, and significantly and negatively with O sub(3).

Doseresponse relationships were studied regarding sexual behavior, testis weight, testis morphometry, and plasma testosterone concentration in adult birds, and the effects of the hormones on sexual behavior were examined. A dose-dependent depression in sexual behavior was observed following treatment with both hormones, but neither gonado-somatic index nor tubule diameter was affected significantly by any treatment. Testis weight asymmetry was increased significantly by exposure to ethinylestradiol, but not by exposure to diethylstilbestrol. No correlation between plasma testosterone level and frequency of sexual behavior was found in any of the treated birds.

The preparation and incubation of the brain tissue are described. Results showed that PCBs reduced tissue dopamine concentrations, while both in vivo and in vitro exposure to MeHg altered dopamine function. The major effects of combined exposure were a reduction in punch dopamine concentrations and an increase in media dopamine concentrations beyond those seen after exposure to the compounds separately. The magnitude of the decrease in punch dopamine content after combined exposure to MeHg and PCBs was not as great as that observed in rat brain after developmental exposure to the complex mixture of contaminants found in Great Lakes salmon, however.

Results showed that the concentrations of 16 of the 21 compounds were significantly higher in human placental samples from the industrialized region. Only the concentrations of 1,2-dichlorobenzene were higher in the rural region. Higher numbers of IgE positive neonates were found in the industrial region compared to the rural region. Positive correlations were found between p,p'-DDE and cord serum total IgE level and between PCB 118 and cord serum total IgE level.

The expression was compared to that for sodium arsenite and heat shock exposure. Results showed that acute exposure to Cd had no effect on the level of hsc 70 mRNA or protein, which was also found after exposure to heat and to sodium arsenite. However, the accumulation of hsp 70 protein was very restricted following acute exposure to Cd, whereas protein maximum values were much higher upon exposure to heat shock and to sodium arsenite. The pattern of hsp 70 isoform-specific mRNA expression was shown to be very similar when the human proximal tubule cells were exposed to either heat shock or sodium arsenite, but the pattern was different upon Cd exposure.

CRS Issue Brief for Congress. AN - 62428215; ED436411 AB - This document provides an overview of primary, cross-cutting issues that are likely to arise as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; Goals 2000; the Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act; and the National Education Statistics Act are considered by the United States Congress for reauthorization in the future. The major reauthorization legislation introduced and acted upon in the 106th Congress is described, following the identification of Major Themes of Current Authorizing Legislation. Debate over legislation to reauthorize these programs is focusing on overarching questions concerning the primary purposes of federal aid to elementary and secondary education, its intended beneficiaries and outcomes, and its effectiveness. More specific issues being debated include expansion of school choice options, creation of new authority for state or local flexibility or consolidation of programs into block grants, steps to improve teacher quality and quantity, support for standards-based reform, and funding for improvement of infrastructure--both technology and facilities.

Changes in the isomeric distribution of the alkylbiphenyls and alkyldiphenylmethanes with increasing biodegradation were investigated. The relative abundance and distributions of the isomers were found to change significantly with increasing biodegradation. Isomers with the 4-substituent(s) generally increase in abundance relative to isomers that lack this feature. Thus, alkylbiphenyl and alkyldiphenylmethane isomeric distributions are useful indicators of the extent of petroleum biodegradation in reservoirs and surface sediments. It is suggested that geosynthetic processes and/or relative susceptibilities of certain isomers to microbial attack can account for changes in the isomeric distribution of these components with increasing biodegradation. Significant differences in the relative abundances of the methylbiphenyls are apparent and are probably due to variations in the conditions that the petroleum had been subjected to in the two contrasting environments.

The compounds used in this study (retene, 9-methylretene, 6-isopropyl-2-methyl-1-(4-methylpentyl)naphthalene and 6-isopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-1-(4-methylpentyl)naphthalene) are thought to originate from land-plants and are the result of reactions of their natural produce precursors, involving aromatisation, rearrangement and methylation in the sediments. They are therefore suggested as markers for land-plants in severely biodegraded oils in which other biologically derived compounds cannot be recognised. The order of biodegradability of the methylated compounds was assessed relative to their non-methylated counterparts, namely 6-isopropyl-2-methyl-1-(4-methylpentyl)naphthalene and retene. In both cases the methylated homologue is less susceptible to biodegradation. These compounds were used to assess the accumulation history of a crude oil that was previously reported to contain a mixture of a severely biodegraded and a non-biodegraded crude oil.

The species is dispersed throughout the Southern Ocean, crossing a number of political and management zones. With little known of its migrations or life cycle, the extent to which the populations are separated is poorly understood (CCAMLR 1995). However, a knowledge of population distribution is vital for the effective management and sustainability of this fishery. Microsatellites are polymorphic markers, useful for population genetics studies, including analysis of fishery stock structures (O'Connell & Wright 1997). We report here the isolation and characterization of five D. eleginoides microsatellite loci. To evaluate their suitability for population assessment, each microsatellite locus was analysed in samples from one of the main Australian fishing grounds, Macquarie Island.

The latter suggests that, in nature, there will be a broad range of spatial scales over which hosts and pathogens interact (e.g. soil-borne pathogens to aerially dispersed rusts). Variation in the spatial scale of such interactions is likely to have consequences for disease dynamics and pathogen persistence, and therefore coevolution of host and pathogen. We investigated disease dynamics and persistence using a spatially explicit simulation model that incorporated local dispersal of host and pathogen approximating the range of spatial structures seen in nature (i.e. many small isolated populations with very local dispersal to single large populations with some substructuring with global dispersal). Our results show that the spatial scale of pathogen dispersal is an important factor in determining the probability of disease persistence, as well as spatial and temporal patterns of incidence. Disease persistence was highest at relatively local scales of dispersal; at higher scales, not only was disease persistence less likely, but disease also caused major reductions in the fraction of sites occupied by the host. The nature of the dynamics also varied with the spatial scale of dispersal, with temporal changes in disease presence across the metapopulation showing endemic patterns at low scales of dispersal, but epidemic patterns when pathogen dispersal was over broader scales. It has been argued that the genetic diversity of host-pathogen systems with respect to resistance and virulence will depend on the probability of encounter rates between particular host and pathogen genotypes. Our results suggest that encounter rates, and therefore genetic diversity, are also likely to be heavily influenced by the spatial scale of the interaction.

In contrast, the same changes resulted in decreased transcription in Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The TG motif was shown to be important in the context of weak -35 and -10 hexamers (L. fermentum BR11) or a consensus -10 hexamer (L. rhamnosus GG). Thus, both strain- and context-dependent effects are critical factors influencing transcription in Lactobacillus.

They represent a family of type IV pili which we have designated Bfp (for bundle-forming pili). Reports from Japan suggest that Bfp are intestinal colonization factors. This study presents compelling evidence to support this conclusion. Aeromonas bacteria and/or Bfp purified from a strain of A. veronii biovar sobria were shown to adhere to epithelial and intestinal cell lines, freshly isolated human enterocytes, and fresh and fixed human and rabbit intestinal tissues, as determined by light and electron microscopy and immunohistochemical detection. Removal of Bfp by mechanical means decreased adhesion to cell lines by up to 80%. Purified Bfp blocked adhesion of the test strain to intestinal cells in a dose-dependent manner. Adhesion was also blocked by the Fab fraction of anti-Bfp immunoglobulin G. Moreover, ultrastructural studies (ruthenium red staining and transmission and scanning electron microscopy) demonstrated for the first time that Aeromonas adhesion to human enterocytes is pilus mediated and suggested that Bfp may also promote colonization by forming bacterium-to-bacterium linkages. Bfp-positive isolates examined for type IV pilus-mediated twitching motility in agar and slide culture assays developed for Pseudomonas aeruginosa did not, however, exhibit this function.

The preliminary assessment of these contaminated sites is presented here. A register of contaminated sites for Casey Station was developed, based on a survey of past Antarctic expeditioners, relevant literature, and in-house reports relating to site usage and history. On this basis a sampling strategy was devised for the highest priority, potentially contaminated sites at Casey Station. Samples were collected from the refuse disposal site (tip site) at Thala Valley and the mechanical workshop/powerhouse areas of `Old' Casey. The results indicated that copper, lead, and zinc were leaching from the tip site into adjacent Brown Bay, with `hot spots' of high petroleum hydrocarbon levels. The mechanical workshop/powerhouse area was also shown to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals such as copper, lead, and zinc. Several recommendations were made, including the removal of rubbish mixed with soil at the bottom end of Thala Valley in such a manner as to prevent any further release of contaminants, with subsequent site monitoring to verify effective removal of contaminants to acceptable environmental levels. It was also recommended that further investigations be carried out on the ecosystem of Brown Bay, the large fuel spill site, the upper and lower fuel-storage areas, and the area around the incinerator. There is scope for monitoring the natural breakdown and migration of contaminants at the mechanical workshop/powerhouse site. This should include studies on bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. Mechanisms for arresting surface migration should be investigated in those sites identified. In addition to meeting some of the international obligations of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, this work also contributes towards the development of an approach to assessment and management of contaminated sites that is uniquely adapted to the Antarctic environment and could be applied at other Antarctic stations.
