TY - JOUR T1 - Lupus-prone mice as models to study xenobiotic-induced acceleration of systemic autoimmunity. AN - 21267722; 11702213 AB - The linkage between xenobiotic exposures and autoimmune diseases remains to be clearly defined. However, recent studies have raised the possibility that both genetic and environmental factors act synergistically at several stages or checkpoints to influence disease pathogenesis in susceptible populations. These observations predict that individuals susceptible to spontaneous autoimmunity should be more susceptible following xenobiotic exposure by virtue of the presence of predisposing background genes. To test this possibility, mouse strains with differing genetic susceptibility to murine lupus were examined for acceleration of autoimmune features characteristic of spontaneous systemic autoimmune disease following exposure to the immunostimulatory metals nickel and mercury. Although NiCl(2) exposure did not exacerbate autoimmunity, HgCl(2) significantly accelerated systemic disease in a strain-dependent manner. Mercury-exposed (NZB X NZW)F1 mice had accelerated lymphoid hyperplasia, hypergammaglobulinemia, autoantibodies, and immune complex deposits. Mercury also exacerbated immunopathologic manifestations in MRL+/+ and MR -lpr mice. However, there was less disease acceleration in lpr mice compared with MRL+/+ mice, likely due to the fact that environmental factors are less critical for disease induction when there is strong genetic susceptibility. Non-major histocompatibility complex genes also contributed to mercury-exacerbated disease, as the nonautoimmune AKR mice, which are H-2 identical with the MRL, showed less immunopathology than either the MRL/lpr or MRL+/+ strains. This study demonstrates that genetic susceptibility to spontaneous systemic autoimmunity can be a predisposing factor for HgCl(2)-induced exacerbation of autoimmunity. Such genetic predisposition may have to be considered when assessing the immunotoxicity of xenobiotics. Additional comparative studies using autoimmune-prone and nonautoimmune mice strains with different genetic backgrounds will help determine the contribution that xenobiotic exposure makes in rendering sensitive populations susceptible to autoimmune diseases.

AN - 21263105; 11702214 AB - A great deal of circumstantial evidence has linked iodine with the rising incidence of autoimmune thyroiditis in the United States. In our investigations, we have shown directly that T cells from humans with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis proliferate in the presence of iodinated but not in the presence of noniodinated human thyroglobulin. Moreover, the proliferative response is restored when the thyroglobulin is iodinated artificially in vitro. Using a panel of monoclonal antibodies, we found evidence that the presence of iodine induces a number of stereochemical changes in the conformation of the molecule, resulting in the loss of some antigenic determinants and the appearance of others. One prominent determinant was associated with the iodine-containing amino acid thyroxine. Both the number and position of the iodine substituents determine the precise specificity of this epitope. A new model for the study of the role of iodine in inducing thyroid autoimmunity has become available in the form of the nonobese diabetic (NOD)-H2(h4) mouse. This animal develops autoimmune thyroiditis spontaneously but in relatively low prevalence. However, if iodine is added to the drinking water, the prevalence and severity of the thyroid lesions increase markedly. The immune response is specific for thyroglobulin, both in terms of the antibody response and T-cell proliferation. In fact, the appearance of lesions can be predicted by the presence of thyroglobulin-specific IgG2b antibody. The disease, moreover, can be transferred adoptively, using spleen cells from iodine-fed donors treated in vitro with iodinated thyroglobulin. The effects of iodine feeding are greater in conventional animals compared with those maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions. Based on T-cell proliferation, it appears that the NOD-H2(h4) strain of mice has innately a greater response to murine thyroglobulin than do other mouse strains and that the proliferation is increased even more by feeding iodine. We suggest, therefore, that the presence of iodine increases the autoantigenic potency of thyroglobulin, a major pathogenic antigen in the induction of autoimmune thyroiditis. This animal model provides a unique opportunity for investigating in detail the mechanisms by which an environmental agent can trigger a pathogenic autoimmune response in a susceptible host.

AN - 21250923; 11703774 AB - Autoimmune diseases are influenced by multiple factors including genetics, age, gender, reproductive status, hormones, and potential environmental contaminants. A workshop, "Linking Environmental Agents and Autoimmune Diseases," was convened at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 1-3 September 1998, to review current knowledge about links between environmental exposures and autoimmune disease, to identify and prioritize research needs, and to develop an integrated, multidisciplinary research agenda. Participants spent the last half-day of the workshop in small group discussions for the purpose of developing consensus on research needs. Research needs identified were a) develop research tools needed to explore links between environmental agents and autoimmune disease; b) establish a disease registry or surveillance system; c) develop and validate strategies for screening chemicals for the potential to induce or exacerbate autoimmune disease; d) develop an emergency response strategy to gain information from accidental exposures; and e) conduct hypothesis-driven research in occupationally exposed groups and/or in experimental animals. There was consensus that meetings like this workshop and projects that facilitate interactions between specialties should be encouraged. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to address this problem.

AN - 21250690; 11703775 AB - Reports in humans and rodents indicate that immune development may be altered following perinatal exposure to immunotoxic compounds, including chemotherapeutics, corticosteroids, polycyclic hydrocarbons, and polyhalogenated hydrocarbons. Effects from such exposure may be more dramatic or persistent than following exposure during adult life. For example, prenatal exposure to the insecticide chlordane or to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[(italic)a(/italic)]pyrene produces what appears to be lifelong immunosuppression in mice. Whether prenatal immunotoxicant exposure may predispose the organism to postnatal autoimmune disease remains largely unknown. In this regard, the therapeutic immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA) crosses the placenta poorly. However, lethally irradiated rodents exposed to CsA postsyngeneic bone marrow transplant (i.e., during re-establishment of the immune system) develop T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, suggesting this drug may produce a fundamental disruption in development of self-tolerance by T cells. The environmental contaminant 2,3,7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-(italic)p(/italic)-dioxin (TCDD) crosses the placenta and produces fetal thymic effects (italic)in vivo(/italic) similar to effects of CsA in fetal thymic organ culture, including inhibited thymocyte maturation and reduced expression of thymic major histocompatability complex class II molecules. These observations led to the suggestion that gestational exposure to TCDD may interfere with normal development of self-tolerance. Possibly supporting this hypothesis, when mice predisposed to development of autoimmune disease were treated with TCDD during gestation, postnatal autoimmunity was exacerbated. Similar results have been reported for mice exposed to diethylstilbestrol during development. These reports suggest that prenatal exposure to certain immunotoxicants may play a role in postnatal expression of autoimmunity.

AN - 21250577; 11702210 AB - Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a persistent environmental pollutant. The toxicity of HCB has been extensively studied after an accidental human poisoning in Turkey and more recently it has been shown that HCB has immunotoxic properties in laboratory animals and probably also in man. Oral exposure of rats to HCB showed stimulatory effects on spleen and lymph node weights and histology, increased serum IgM levels, and an enhancement of several parameters of immune function. Moreover, more recent studies indicate that HCB-induced effects in the rat may be related to autoimmunity. In Wistar rats exposed to HCB, IgM antibodies against several autoantigens were elevated; in the Lewis rat, HCB differently modulated two experimental models of autoimmune disease. Oral exposure of rats to HCB induces skin and lung pathology in the rat. Recently several studies have been conducted to investigate whether these skin and lung lesions can be related to HCB-induced immunomodulation, and these studies will be discussed in this review. HCB-induced skin and lung lesions probably have a different etiology; pronounced strain differences and correlation of skin lesions with immune parameters suggest a specific involvement of the immune system in HCB-induced skin lesions. The induction of lung lesions by HCB was thymus independent. Thymus-dependent T cells were not likely to be required for the induction of skin lesions, although T cells enhanced the rate of induction and the progression of the skin lesions. No deposition of autoantibodies was observed in nonlesional or lesional skin of HCB-treated rats. Therefore, we concluded that it is unlikely that the mechanism by which most allergic or autoimmunogenic chemicals work, i.e., by binding to macromolecules of the body and subsequent T- and B-cell activation, is involved in the HCB-induced immunopathology in the rat. Such a thymus-independent immunopathology is remarkable, as HCB strongly modulates T-cell-mediated immune parameters. This points at a very complex mechanism and possible involvement of multiple factors in the immunopathology of HCB.

One of the environmental concerns for this basin is erosion and its effects on downstream water quality. Models that relate climate, land use, and these concerns require measurements of climate (rainfall and temperature) and streamflow. These measurements were examined as a preliminary to the modelling. The residual mass technique was used to examine the temporal variation of annual rainfalls over the approximately 100 years of available data, and significant spatial variations were found in annual rainfall trends over the catchment. Streamflow was examined at key river gauging stations. The impact of recent large-scale irrigation operations was clearly observed. The impact of changing land use and land management on runoff ratios was examined for eight subcatchments. Temperature variations were examined for the four major towns in the catchment. The duration of the temperature data is too short to make any comments about long-term trends. Significant variations were observed in an east to west direction.

This work was conducted for the purpose of analysing competing demands for water in the Basin. The methodology described is largely driven by two issues. Firstly, the spatial relationships between river headwaters need to be captured in conjunction with any temporal correlations that may exist (adding to the complexity is the fact that some river headwaters have no flows for consecutive months). The second issue requires selecting a robust methodology which can be used within a large-scale simulation framework.

In a dose-response trial, Novodor was very effective at killing 1st instars. However, older larvae showed an increasing tolerance to the toxin that was not proportional to their body weight. At 20 degree C, maximum mortality occurred at 4 d after treatment, although further natural mortality occurred until adult emergence. Novodor also prolonged the larval development time but deterred feeding by all stages of the surviving larvae. A Bt variety tenebrionis-based insecticide shows potential for inclusion in the IPM program with appropriate monitoring to identify when the majority of the population is at 1st-instar stage. Its feasibility would be enhanced if the toxicity to older larvae could be improved.

Design: A total of 26 cervicovaginal lavage specimens collected from 17 women were used in this study to determine if HIF was significantly associated with features consistent with bacterial vaginosis. Methods: Patients were evaluated for various clinical features including age, HIV status and stage, CD4 cell counts, clinical diagnosis of gynecological infections, vaginal pH, Gram stains of vaginal fluid, phase of menstruation, and presence of cervical dysplasia. Cervicovaginal lavage specimens were analyzed for the presence of HIF by U1 bioassay. The presence of Gardnerella vaginalis, and general Mycoplasmataceae, and specifically Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, M. fermentans, M. genitalium in cervicovaginal lavage were determined by semi-quantitative PCR. Results: Eleven cervicovaginal lavage samples from seven women were HIF-positive and 15 cervicovaginal lavage samples from 11 women were HIF-negative (patient No. 8 had two HIF-negative cervicovaginal lavage and one HIF-positive cervicovaginal lavage). The following parameters were significantly associated with HIF: abnormal vaginal fluid pH (> 4.5) (P = 0.006), Gram stains indicative of bacterial vaginosis (P = 0.007), normal menstrual cycle (P = 0.0007) and PCR detection and relative quantity of M. hominis (P = 0.0003, P = 0.002). Conclusions: This study indicates that HIF is closely associated with features of bacterial vaginosis.

Recent developments in vegetation theory and associated statistical modelling techniques are reviewed for their relevance to biodiversity. Species composition and collective properties such as species richness vary as a continuum in a multi-dimensional environmental space; a concept which needs to be incorporated into biodiversity studies. Different kinds of environmental gradients can be recognised and species responses to them vary. Species response curves of eucalypts to an environmental gradient of mean annual temperature have been shown to exhibit a particular pattern of skewed response curves. Generalised linear modelling (GLM) and generalised additive modelling (GAM) techniques are important tools for biodiversity studies. They have successfully distinguished the contribution of environmental (climatic) and spatial (history and species dispersal ability) variables in determining forest tree composition in New Zealand. Species richness studies are examined at global, regional and local scales. At all scales, direct and resource environmental gradients need to be incorporated into the analysis rather than indirect gradients e.g. latitude which have no direct physiological influence on biota. Evidence indicates that species richness at the regional scale is sensitive to environment, confounding current studies on local/regional species richness relationships. Plant community experiments require designs based on environmental gradients rather than dependent biological properties such as productivity or species richness to avoid confounding the biotic components. Neglect of climatic and other environmental gradients and the concentration on the collective properties of species assemblages has limited recent biodiversity studies. Conservation evaluation could benefit from greater use of the continuum concepts and statistical modelling techniques of vegetation ecology. The future development of ecology will depend on testing the different assumptions of competing research paradigms and a more inclusive synthesis of ecological theory.

The Aberdeen pesticides dumps site is composed of five sites located in and around the town. The participants, study areas, and questionnaire used are described. No strong evidence for an overall immunosuppressive effect of environmental exposure could be found among the Aberdeen residents. However, among subjects 1840 yr of age, Aberdeen residents were twice as likely to develop herpes zoster as were residents of nearby communities. This risk was even greater for people living in Aberdeen during the period before 1985 when pesticide-manufacturing facilities were still operating and before any remediation efforts had been initiated.

However, the historic role of medicinal herbs in the treatment and prevention of disease does not assure their safety for uncontrolled use by an uninformed public. The use of medicinal herbs in the US is described, and the concerns regarding their widespread use are elucidated. Recommendations are proposed subsequently for promoting safer practices in this area, focusing on standardization, consumer education, research into herb/drug and herb/herb interactions, research into the potential toxicity associated with high doses or prolonged use of these herbs, and identification of sensitive subpopulations.

The average nitrate concentrations in streams traversing agricultural landscapes in North America range 240 mg/l, but concentrations can exceed 100 mg/l. Studies have shown that NO sub(3) concentrations greater than 1 mg/l are toxic to amphibians, which will ultimately adversely impact amphibian prey and predators. The data suggest that it is highly probable that NO sub(3) concentrations in surface waters in North America are adversely affecting amphibian survival. While the use of vegetated buffer zones around watercourses can go a long way toward reducing the amount of NO sub(3) entering surface waters, the key to minimizing the agricultural input of NO sub(3) is the efficient use of fertilizers.

All of the subjects were second-grade schoolchildren. Results showed that most children exhibited thyroid hormone levels that were within the clinical limits of TSH and FT sub(4). Children whose thyroid hormones were outside the laboratory normal range resided more often in industrialized areas but did not exhibit a special contaminant pattern except for excessive TSH levels. Regression analysis revealed a statistically significant positive association between PCB congener 118 and TSH, while PCB congeners 138, 153, 180, 183, and 187 showed a statistically significant inverse relationship with FT sub(3). Neither blood concentration of Pb nor the urinary concentration of Hg had a statistical influence on the levels of the thyroid hormones, but the blood concentration of Cd showed an association with increasing TSH and an association with diminishing FT sub(4).

Rats were given 60 mg/kg/d of coumestrol orally, and reproductive tracts were examined after 4 d. Results showed that the trophic activity of coumestrol to the intact immature rat was evident for both wet and dry uterine weights and for wet weights of the cervix and vagina. In addition, uterine fluid inbibation was increased, accompanied by increases in total uterine hyperplasia and total uterine DNA content.

Results showed that adipose tissue and liver samples contained detectable amounts of most of the organochlorines, except for alpha -chlordane and PCB congener no. 128. p,p'-DDE, trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, and hexachlorobenzene were the most abundant pesticides in all four tissues, while the highest PCB concentrations were noted for congeners 138, 153, 170, 180, and 187. Brain to subcutaneous fat concentration ratios were lower than one for all organochlorines, but strong correlations between the tissues were noted for specific chemicals. Liver, omental fat, and subcutaneous fat contained similar concentrations of chlorinated pesticides and their metabolites, except for beta -hexachlorocyclohexane. Concentrations of total PCBs, total DDTs, and total chlordanes in omental fat of males were not statistically different from those in females. Age was correlated only with concentrations of total PCBs.

Peroxisomes are respiratory organelles that play a role in cellular oxygen consumption as well as in production and removal of reactive oxygen species. They are also involved in a number of essential cellular functions. The function and proliferation of liver peroxisomes are described, and the effect of aging on peroxisomal metabolism is examined, including both basal peroxisomal enzyme activities and peroxisome proliferation. The mechanisms involved in the aging-related decrease in peroxisomal enzyme activities are elucidated, focusing on inherited peroxisomal disorders and the response of aging to peroxisome proliferators.

AN - 70015033; 10471806 AB - Oxygen radicals play both pathological and physiological roles in biological systems. The detection of such radicals is difficult due to their transient nature and the presence of highly efficient antioxidant mechanisms. In plants the physiological role of oxygen is twofold, oxygen is produced by the oxidation of water and consumed as an electron acceptor. The direct involvement of oxygen in photosynthetic events exposes the photosynthetic apparatus to a high probability of damage by oxygen radicals. We report here a direct, simple and rapid method for the measurement of superoxide in vitro based on voltammetric detection. It has potential applications for other in vitro systems investigating superoxide production. We show that in addition to the well established production of superoxide from photosystem I, under reducing conditions superoxide is also produced by photosystem II, probably from the Q(A) site.

ClpA directs the ATP-dependent degradation of substrate proteins bearing specific sequences, much as the 19S ATPase "cap" of eukaryotic proteasomes functions in the degradation of ubiquitination proteins. In isolation, ClpA and its relative ClpX can mediate the disassembly of oligomeric proteins; another similar eukaryotic protein, Hsp104, can dissociate low-order aggregates. ClpA has been proposed to destabilize protein structure, allowing passage of proteolysis substrates through a central channel into the ClpP proteolytic cylinder. Here we test the action of ClpA on a stable monomeric protein, the green fluorescent protein GFP, onto which has been added an 11-amino-acid carboxy-terminal recognition peptide, which is responsible for recruiting truncated proteins to ClpAP for degradation. Fluorescence studies both with and without a "trap" version of the chaperonin GroEL, which binds non-native forms of GFP, and hydrogen-exchange experiments directly demonstrate that ClpA can unfold stable, native proteins in the presence of ATP.

AN - 70790717; 10503889 AB - We previously reported findings that NADPH/cytochrome P450 reductase can generate superoxide anion radical (O2*-) from heterocyclic amines (HCA) and from many anticancer agents in vitro. Here we present more evidence in which O2*- is generated when recombinant human cytochrome b5 reductase (rh-Cytb5Rd) was incubated with HCAs such as IQ and MeIQ in the presence of NADH in vitro. This indicates that free radical generation by rh-Cytb5Rd in the presence of HCA may add new insight into the damage of DNA in addition to the previously known mechanism: interaction of activated HCA-intermediates to form DNA adduct.

Volume I: Secondary School Students. AN - 62429276; ED435070 AB - This two-volume monograph reports the results of the 24th national survey of drug use and related attitudes and beliefs among American high school seniors, the nineteenth such survey of American college students, and the eighth such survey of eighth- and tenth-grade students. The major purpose of this publication is to develop an accurate picture of current drug use and trends. Given the illicit and illegal nature of most of the phenomena under study and the absence of prevalence data, substantial misconceptions can develop and resources may be misallocated. Throughout this report, the focus in on drug use at the higher frequency levels rather than simply on who has used various drugs. A summary of the findings on trends includes: over more than a decade--from the late 1970s to the early 1990s--these were very appreciable declines in use of a number of illicit drugs among twelfth-grade students, and even larger declines in their use among American college students and young adults. These substantial improvements--which seem largely explainable in terms of changes in attitudes, beliefs about the risks of drug use, and peer norms against drug use--have some extremely important policy implications. One of these is that these various substance-using behaviors among American young people are malleable--they can be changed. Secondly, the demand-side factors appear to have been pivotal in bringing about these changes. the availability of marijuana, as reported by high school seniors, has held fairly steady throughout the life of the study. Improvements should not be taken for granted; relapse is always possible. In 1992, eighth graders exhibited a significant increase in annual use of marijuana, cocaine, LSD, and hallucinogens other than LSD, as well as an increase in inhalant use. In 1993, increases occurred in a number of "gateway drugs"--marijuana, cigarettes, and inhalants. The drug problem requires an ongoing, dynamic response from our society--one that takes into account the continuing generational replacement of our children and the generational forgetting of the dangers of drugs which can occur with that replacement.

Volume II: College Students and Young Adults. AN - 62429231; ED435071 AB - This second volume, in a two-volume set reporting the results from the Monitoring the Future study, presents the results of the 1977 through 1998 follow-up surveys of the graduating high school classes of 1976 through 1997 as they have progressed through young adulthood. This current study, which draws the college sample in the senior year of high school, has considerable advantages for generating a broadly representative sample of the college students to emerge from each graduating cohort. It has "before, during, and after" college measures, which permit the examination of change. It also has similar panel data on the high school graduates who did not attend college. In order for this volume to stand alone, some material from Volume I is repeated. Chapters 2 and 3 in this volume are the same as Chapters 2 and 3 in Volume I, since one provides an overview of the key findings and the other explains the study's design and procedures. Chapter titles include: (1) "Introduction of Volume II"; (2) "Overview of Key Findings"; (3) "Study Design and Procedures"; (4) "Prevalence of Drug Use among Young Adults"; (5) "Trends in Drug Use among Young Adults"; (6) "Attitudes and Beliefs about Drugs among Young Adults"; (7) "The Social Milieu for Young Adults"; (8) "Prevalence of Drug Use among College Students"; and (9) "Trends in Drug Use among College Students."

Vital and Health Statistics. Series 2: Data Evaluation and Methods Research. No. 128. AN - 62411360; ED436618 AB - This report summarizes current knowledge and research on the quality and reliability of death rates by race and Hispanic origin in official mortality statistics of the United States produced by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It provides a quantitative assessment of bias in death rates by race and Hispanic origin and identifies areas for targeted research. Death rates are based on information on deaths from death certificates filed in the states and compiled into a national database by NCHS, and on population data from the Census Bureau. Researchers summarized selected studies of race/Hispanic origin misclassification and undercoverage on deaths and population. They made estimates on the separate and joint bias on death rates by race and Hispanic origin from the two sources. They made simplifying assumptions about the stability of the biases over time and among age groups. Original results are presented using an expanded, updated database from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study. Death rates for all groups show net effects of race misclassification and undercoverage. For whites and blacks, published death rates are overstated in official publications by 1.0 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively, resulting mainly from undercounts in the census. Death rates for other minority groups are understated as follows: American Indians, 21 percent; Asian or Pacific Islanders: 11 percent; and Hispanics, 2 percent.

These data, and radiometric ages on the kimberlites, have been used to estimate the position of the local (paleo)geotherm and the thickness of the lithosphere, and to map the detailed distribution of specific rock types and mantle processes in space and time. A low geotherm, corresponding approximately to the 35 mW/m (super 2) conductive model of Pollack and Chapman [Tectonophysics 38, 279-296, 1977], characterised the Devonian lithosphere beneath the Magan and Anabar crustal provinces. The Devonian geotherm beneath the northern part of the area was higher, rising to near a 40 mW/m (super 2) conductive model. Areas intruded by Mesozoic kimberlites are generally characterised by this higher, but still "cratonic" geotherm. Lithosphere thickness at the time of kimberlite intrusion varied from ca. 190 to ca. 240 km beneath the Archean Magan and Anabar provinces, but was less (150-180 km) beneath the Proterozoic Olenek Province already in Devonian time. Thinner Devonian lithosphere (140 km) in parts of this area may be related to Riphean rifting. Near the northern end of the traverse, differences in geotherm, lithosphere thickness and composition between the Devonian Toluopka area and the nearby Mesozoic kimberlite fields suggest thinning of the lithosphere by ca. 50-60 km, related to Devonian rifting and Triassic magmatism. A major conclusion of this study is that the crustal terrane boundaries defined by geological mapping and geophysical data (extended from outcrops in the Anabar Shield) represent major lithospheric sutures, which continue through the upper mantle and juxtapose lithospheric domains that differ significantly in composition and rock-type distribution between 100 and 250 km depth. The presence of significant proportions of harzburgitic and depleted lherzolitic garnets beneath the Magan and Anabar provinces is concordant with their Archean surface geology. The lack of harzburgitic garnets, and the chemistry of the lherzolitic garnets, beneath most of the other fields are consistent with the Proterozoic surface rocks. Mantle sections for different terranes within the Archean portion of the craton show pronounced differences in bulk composition, rock-type distribution, metasomatic overprint and lithospheric thickness. These observations suggest that individual crustal terranes, of both Archean and Proterozoic age, had developed their own lithospheric roots, and that these differences were preserved during the Proterozoic assembly of the craton. Data from kimberlite fields near the main Archean-Proterozoic suture (the Billyakh Shear Zone) suggest that reworking and mixing of Archean and Proterozoic mantle was limited to a zone less than 100 km wide.

The system uses a modular Barnes successive correction scheme to produce the analyses, either in near-real-time or using historical datasets. The national analysis is produced on a 25 km grid with a correlation length scale of 80 km, which is appropriate for the data density across Australia. Smaller correlation lengths and finer grids can be used for regional analyses. The accuracy of the real-time system has been tested by comparing analyses obtained from the full climatological dataset collected by the National Climate Centre (NCC) with the analyses limited to the real-time data. The two datasets were also compared to obtain information about the reliability of real-time observations. These investigations have shown that over most of Australia and with few caveats, reasonably accurate analyses are obtained using real-time data. A particular problem is found to be caused by telegraphic rainfall stations that do not report in real time when they record no rain. The analysis system is used to illustrate seasonal and event-related climatological features of Australian rainfall.

Fixed-bed study AN - 17581414; 4645509 AB - The adsorption of uranium(VI) and lead(II) on fixed beds of chromatography silica gel (CSG) and desiccant silica gel (DSG) was investigated at initial pH 5.15 and an initial concentration of 0.5 and 0.1 mM for uranium(VI) and lead(II), respectively, and exhibited a constant pattern of breakthrough curves at various bed heights and flow rates. The experimental data gave a good fit to the bed depth-service time (BDST) model at 50% breakthrough with the bed capacity close to the value predicted from batch study results. The adsorption performance of the silica gel columns could be well described by the Clark model at the ratios of concentration of effluent to influent (C/C sub(0)) up to 0.3 for uranium(VI) and 0.5 for lead(II). Above these levels, the model was approximately valid for uranium(VI), while a large deviation occurred with lead(II) adsorption. Application of the Wolborska model to the data at C/C sub(0) ratios lower than 0.5 enabled the determination of the kinetic coefficients for mass transfer in these systems. Furthermore, it was found that uranium(VI) could be effectively separated from lead(II) by using a column packed either with CSG or DSG at pH 3.50. Complete removal of uranium(VI) adsorbed to a packed bed of silica gel was obtained by employing 4.5 M HNO sub(3) as eluant. Six and seven bed volumes of 4.5 M HNO sub(3) were required for the elution of uranium(VI) from CSG and DSG, respectively. For lead(II), complete desorption from the column required 3.0 and 3.5 bed volumes of 1.5 M HNO sub(3) solution for CSG and DSG, respectively. For both uranium(VI) and lead(II) it was found that the DSG-packed column exhibited better performance than CSG in terms of service time and volume of solution treated, and gave similar value of the adsorbent usage rate, suggesting that DSG can be used instead of CSG in column applications.

Adsorption and kinetics AN - 17579803; 4645510 AB - In this study desiccant silica gel (DSG) was compared with chromatography silica gel (CSG) for its ability to remove metal ions including Pb super(2+), Cu super(2+), Ni super(2+), Zn super(2+), Cd super(2+) and UO super(2) sub(2) super(+) from solution. The equilibration time was shorter for UO super(2) sub(2) super(+) (less than 1 h) than for the heavy metal ions (2-3 h) and adsorption by DSG took longer to reach equilibrium compared with CSG, probably due to the smaller mean diameter of its pores. The adsorption process showed first order kinetics for all the metals studied. The mass transfer coefficients and overall rate constants were determined for each of the metals. The adsorption rates of the metal ions, in order of decreasing magnitude, were UO super(2) sub(2) super(+) > Pb super(2+) > - Cu super(2+) > Zn super(2+) > Ni super(2+) > Cd super(2+) for both DSG and CSG. Metal uptake was found to increase rapidly within a two pH unit range characteristic for each metal. The adsorption of the metal ions obeyed the Langmuir isotherm and followed the preferential order UO super(2) sub(2) super(+) > Pb super(2+) > Cu super(2+) > Ni super(2+) > Zn super(2+) > Cd super(2+). Similarity of the isotherms for the individual metals was observed for both DSG and CSG, indicating a comparable removal capacity of DSG and its possible use as an alternative to CSG in adsorption applications. Adsorption from lead(II)-uranium(VI) solutions showed that the uptake of each metal was considerably reduced with an increasing concentration of the other, the adsorption of lead(II) being more strongly influenced by uranium(VI) than vice versa due to the higher affinity of silica gel for the latter.

From observations that increases in water level in aquaculture ponds initiate spawning in some species, and from limited studies of wild fishes and studies in overseas floodplain river systems, a perception has emerged of the importance of flooding and the flood plain in the life cycles of Murray-Darling fishes in general. However, there is little confirmatory evidence of the use of temporary floodplain habitats by larvae, juveniles or adults. The significance of in-channel habitats, especially for rearing, has received little attention. Murray-Darling fish species can be placed into three life history modes, based mainly on spawning style and time and developmental intervals of larvae at first feeding. Fish in each group may be able to take advantage of floods if the timing is right and prey are plentiful, however, the larvae of some species are able to recruit under non-flood conditions within the main river channel. This forms the basis of the `low flow recruitment hypothesis', which attempts to explain why some species spawn during the warmest months and lowest flows and how they are able to recruit under these conditions. This hypothesis is then placed in the context of the current state of knowledge of the relationships between flow and the biology of Murray-Darling fishes, specifically cues for spawning, movement and recruitment. The lack of widespread evidence for floodplain use by any life history interval of fish may be due to a paucity of study, however, there are some fundamental factors, such as the predictability of timing and duration of high flow events as well as the lack of coincidence of high flows and high temperatures in some regions of the Basin, which may be important in determining the use of floodplain habitats by fish.

Both binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates prevented growth of all Phytophthora isolates within 36 h of the paired cultures meeting. All fungal isolates produced parallel hyphae, hooks and coils on opposing cultures, except the binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates on P. citricola. In four glasshouse experiments, however, neither the binucleate Rhizoctonia nor four bicontrol bacterial isolates, consistently suppressed diseases caused by P. cryptogea or P. nicotianae var. nicotianae in tomato seedlings grown in potting medium. Only the fungicide, metalaxyl, gave satisfactory disease control against both Phytophthora spp. In a subsequent in vitro test of five fungicides at commercial doses, only metalaxyl did not inhibit growth of the two binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates. Because of the compatability of metalaxyl with the binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates, this fungicide could be used to control Phytophtora spp. in an integrated control programme with a binucleate Rhizoctonia to control the other major damping-off fungi.

A selected isolate of binucleate Rhizoctonia and two fungicides were also included as standards for control of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium ultimum var. sporangiiferum. Both isolates of T. koningii reduced seedling death caused by R. solani in one of two experiments, and by P. u. sporangiiferum in two of three experiments. Neither isolate of T. koningii suppressed damping-off caused by either pathogen as consistently as the binucleate Rhizoctonia or fungicides. The implications of these results for commercial disease management are discussed.

The timescale of this fluctuation initially had a value approximate to 10 years, and increased to a value of about 20 years. This fluctuation is structured as a train of centers of negative and positive rainfall perturbation alternating in time. A strong positive trend in annual rainfall amount started simultaneously to excitation of amplifying fluctuation. Analyses of contribution from bands of wavelet timescale to reconstruction of time series of perturbation of annual rainfall amount indicate that trend is produced by fluctuations with timescale larger than 10 years. Before 1935, annual rainfall had a stationary mean. After that year, mean annual rainfall in this region is increasing at a rate of 5 mm/year. During the period 1935-1983, the trend produced by contribution from fluctuations with timescale greater than 10 years is 4.6 mm/year. The remaining 0.4 mm/year of trend is produced by fluctuations with timescale smaller than 10 years, and it does not have statistical significance. The amplifying fluctuation in the bands of fluctuations with timescale 10-17 years and 17-27 years, is clearly detected in the 3-month periods November to January, and February to April. These are also the only two 3-month periods with trend statistically significant. Regression analysis of seasonal rainfall on year indicates that there is a discontinuity in trend between the periods 1873-1934 and 1935-1983. In periods November to January and February to April, fluctuations with timescale larger than 10 years produce a statistically significant trend after 1935. Fluctuations with timescale smaller than 10 years do not contribute in a significant way to trend in these seasons. During the 60 years before wave excitation (period 1873-1934), wavelet analysis does not show another amplifying fluctuation of such strong intensity. Finding what triggered this gargantuan amplifying fluctuation in annual rainfall is an important question for understanding multidecadal climate variability.

Climatic change in this lake is recorded in the evaporative loss trend reconstructed from water level and lakewater salinity estimates. A decrease in salinity between similar to 700 and 200 years BP corresponds with c. 5 m increase in water level over the same time period. Both water level and lakewater salinity then stabilize in the last similar to 200 years BP. The palaeohydrological model derived from the changes inferred in salinity and water level shows that there is no significant change in evaporation for the last similar to 700 years but that a lower evaporation period is evident at similar to 150-200 years BP suggestive of a mild 'Little Ice Age' event in the Vestfold Hills.

Each animal was dosed, intragastrically, with single doses of p-cymene (0.37 mmol/kg and/or 1.49 mmol/kg). Urine and feces were collected for two 24-hr periods. Quantitative analysis of urinary metabolites by extraction, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry gave a mean recovery of 64% (range 52-74%) of the administered dose in 48 hr for the four species. No fecal metabolites were found. A species-specific pattern of metabolite excretion was evident and reflected the natural occurrence of p-cymene (and terpenes in general) in the diet. If the metabolites excreted are grouped according to the total number of oxygen atoms added (one to four), then the rat excreted metabolites encompassing all degrees of oxidation, but predominantly a monooxygenated metabolite. The brushtail possum excreted metabolites having two, three, and four oxygen atoms added. The ringtail possum and greater glider only excreted metabolites with three or four oxygen atoms. Conjugation played a significant role in the excretion of oxidized metabolites in only the brushtail possums and the rat. These findings indicate that species encountering terpenes, such as p-cymene, in their normal diet have developed efficient oxidation pathways to eliminate them. This oxidative efficiency could also reduce the necessity for subsequent conjugation of metabolites which minimizes further demands on a nutritionally limited diet.

Willows, Salix spp., have been widely introduced as a riparian species in temperate Australia and New Zealand. The present study was a broad-scale observational survey to document the differences between reaches of river lined with willows and native vegetation in the community structure of benthic invertebrates and the resources which these plants use. 2. Nine rivers in south-eastern Tasmania were examined on three occasions in autumn, spring and summer. Taxa were identified to family level, with the exception of Oligochaeta and Acarina, and benthic organic matter (CPOM and FPOM) and epilithic biomass were measured for each reach. 3. Taxon diversity and evenness were lower in willowed reaches in autumn, and total macroinvertebrate density and number of taxa were lowest in willowed reaches in summer. No differences in the fauna between willowed and native reaches were observed in spring. Measures of community similarity of the fauna in willowed and native reaches were significantly different in autumn and summer, but not in spring. 4. The taxa responsible for the significant differences seemed to be responding to differences in food availability and habitat quality in reaches of each vegetation type. Organic matter standing stock was higher in willowed reaches in autumn although the influence of these litter inputs on the fauna were not marked. Epilithon biomass was highest in autumn and spring in willowed reaches when shading in these reaches was least. 5. The most marked differences between willowed and native reaches were during summer low flows, when the instream fauna appeared to be responding to changes to shading, water quality and the quality of the habitat.

We then asked the question: What proportion of tail species within a given community are constitutive members of the tail everywhere throughout their geographical range, versus what proportion are found as substantially more abundant somewhere within their range? Out of 55 tail species identified from dry sclerophyll woodland and 116 tail species identified from temperate rain forest, 91% and 95%, respectively, were significantly more abundant at other locations ("somewhere-abundant" species), versus 9% and 5% "everywhere-sparse" species. Among eight attributes in dry sclerophyll woodland and nine attributes in temperate rain forest compared between somewhere-abundant and everywhere-sparse species, none discriminated consistently between the two groups of species. The size and dispersal morphology of seeds, flowering and fruiting durations and seasons, regeneration strategy after fire, size of geographical ranges, maximum plant height, and size class revealed no consistent distinctions. For the small minority of species that are everywhere-sparse, some general explanation may exist as to why they are in the tail of rank-abundance curves, though none was located among the attributes compared in this paper. For the majority of tail species that are somewhere-abundant, any explanation as to why they are in the tail will need to account for different outcomes in different places.

These populations are univoltine and colonies exhibit a semisocial/quasisocial polymorphism. Synchronous brood development and restricted periods of egg laying in these populations severely limit opportunities for sib rearing by older daughters. Here, we report the life cycle and social behavior of a conspecific subcoastal heathland population from southern Victoria. Colony sizes and intracolony relatedness are lower in the heathland population, possibly because the nesting substrate is relatively short-lived and spatially dispersed. Brood development is relatively rapid at the heathland locality, such that some colonies are able to produce a 2nd brood in late summer. As a result, opportunities for sib rearing frequently occur in heathland E. robusta, allowing for quite different forms of alloparental care than occurs in montane populations. The presence of opportunities for sib-rearing behavior in this species provides evidence of habitat mediation of sociality that is not caused by latitudinal variation.

Recently, a single-strain outbreak of MRSA occurred in a WA metropolitan teaching hospital following admission of an infected patient from a remote community. The strain responsible for the outbreak was unrelated to any imported strains and spread rapidly in the hospital. Screening of two remote communities in the region from which the index case came revealed that 42% of the people in one community and 24% in the other carried MRSA. Isolates were typed by resistance pattern, plasmid analysis, contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis, bacteriophage pattern, and coagulase gene restriction fragment length polymorphism. It was found that of the people carrying MRSA, 39% in the former community and 17% in the latter community were carrying an MRSA strain which was indistinguishable from the strain that caused the hospital outbreak.

The caged fish were rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, and the feral fish were perch Perca fluviatilis and roach Rutilus rutilus. Cytochrome P4501A induction was determined, xenobiotic metabolism was studied, and morphological changes in different tissues were detected. The contents of nine PAHs and four heavy metals were also determined in tissue samples. Results showed that the concentrations of PAHs were highest in the sediments, intermediate in aquatic biota, and lowest in the water column. The total PAH content in rainbow trout muscle ranged 421890 ng/g, while in the feral fish, concentrations ranged 14614820 and 116611,441 ng/g in muscle and liver, respectively. The dominant compounds were pyrene, chrysene, and fluoranthene. Despite the high concentrations of PAHs, however, there was no induction of mixed oxygenase activities in any of the studied fish. Glutathione activity exhibited a trend toward increased values in all species at the exposed sites, but the overall condition factor of the fish and the liver somatic index were not affected seriously by the pollutants. No clear evidence of enhanced micronuclei formation was discerned at the exposed sites.

Results showed that high As concentrations in the drilled wells were uncommon, and the median dose of inorganic As from well water was approximately 0.2 mu g/d. The data suggested an increased bladder cancer risk associated with low As exposure levels, and a statistically significant elevated risk of bladder cancer was observed for As concentrations greater than 0.5 mu g/l. No association was observed between kidney cancer and As exposure from drinking water. A synergistic effect between As and smoking, and bladder cancer was discerned.

Results are presented from a study in which 22 commercial cultivars of the species were investigated for tumor-promoting diterpenoids using high-performance liquid chromatography. The tumor-promoting potential of plant extracts was determined using an EpsteinBarr virus induction assay. Result showed that the cultivars contained a broad range of ingenol ester contents, with a mean content of 73 ng/g latex. The latex and leaf samples of Euphorbia lomii and E. leuconeura were strong tumor promoters, and there was a close correlation between EpsteinBarr virus induction and ingenol content.

Relationships between air pollution and the prevalence of bronchitis and phlegm were examined in three subgroups: children with asthma, children with wheeze only, and children with neither wheeze nor asthma. A two-stage modeling strategy was employed. Results showed that, among children with asthma, increased particulate air pollution was associated with significantly increased prevalence of chronic phlegm production and with bronchitis. There was also a strong association of nitrogen dioxide and gaseous acid with increased phlegm prevalence and a modest and nonsignificant association of NO sub(2) with increased prevalence of bronchitis. Because ambient particulate matter in Southern California was relatively low in sulfates, the increased risk among asthmatic children with lower respiratory symptoms associated with particulate exposure was not attributed to the presence of sulfur dioxide and SO sub(2)-derived sulfates.

Data from these studies were evaluated directly for statistical evidence of a threshold in lung tumor response between high and low exposure concentrations. The data below the threshold were examined for heterogeneity with respect to zero-exposure responses, and a multi-stage model was used to determine both maximum likelihood estimates and upper confidence limit estimates for the exposureresponse slope. Analysis results showed that the tumor responses observed in rats at high levels of exposure to these particles did not occur at low exposures, indicating a threshold of response ranging 160600 mu g/m super(3) continuous lifetime concentration. An upper-bound unit risk extrapolated to humans was calculated at 9.3 10 super(-6) per mu g/m super(3).

Emissions monitoring data were obtained from the plant, and cancer risk estimates with uncertainty were generated. Soil and sediment monitoring data were also examined, along with evidence of carcinogenicity and chronic Be disease. Inhalation of air was the exposure pathway of concern. Five atmospheric transport models were considered, and the RATCHET model was chosen ultimately, which uses two modeling grids. Model prediction uncertainty was accounted for by using several multiplicative stochastic correction factors in the dispersion estimate, the meteorology, and deposition and plume depletion. The extensive resulting data are presented in terms of the predicted concentrations, exposure scenarios, breathing rates and time budgets, and uncertainty. The geometric mean incremental lifetime cancer incidence risk estimates for Be inhalation were highest for ranchers and lowest for retirees, at 3.9 10 super(-10) and 7.5 10 super(-13), respectively. The estimated risks, which were a function of exposure time, exposure duration, and location of exposure, were well below the EPA point of departure for acceptable risks.

The mutagens were 2-[2-(acetylamino)-4-[bis(2-methoxyethyl)-amino]-5-methoxy phenyl]-- 5-amino-7-bromo-4-chloro-2H-benzotriazole (PBTA-1) and 2-[2-(acetylamino)-4-[N-(2-cyanoethyl)ethylamino]- 5-methoxyph- eny]-5-amino-7-bromo- 4-chloro-2H-benzotriazole (PBTA-2). Mutagenic assays were also carried out on Salmonella typhimurium. Results showed that almost all samples collected at sites downstream of two sewage plants contained detectable concentrations of both amines. All of the samples collected downstream of the plants were also found to be mutagenic.

This is because flagellar motors are powered by dissipation of ion gradients across their cell membranes. We tested how much the 2 known motor systems contributed to the high speed motility (> 100 mu m s super(-1)) found in marine bacterial communities and isolates. Monensin, carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrozone (CCCP) and amiloride were used on Escherichia coli, Shewanella putrefaciens, Alteromonas haloplanktis, a marine isolate (BBAT1) and marine bacterial communities to uncouple sodium-ion and proton gradients from motility. E. coli motility was stopped by 10 mu M CCCP. Use of any of the 3 uncouplers alone slowed, but did not stop, S. putrefaciens, A. haloplanktis and a community of marine bacteria. A combination of 20 mu M CCCP and 20 mu M monensin stopped S. putrefaciens and A. haloplanktis. The same concentration combination reduced marine community speeds by half, but stopped few cells. Above uncoupler concentrations of 30 mu M speed remained unchanged at about 20 mu m s super(-1) for marine bacterial communities. Sodium-ion motors were responsible for about 60% of marine bacterial speed. From the results it was concluded that most high speed marine bacterial community members used sodium and proton motors simultaneously.

Death rates were measured for a combination of four growth-permissible temperatures (15 degree C, 25 degree C, 40 degree C and 45 degree C) and four distinctly lethal water activities (0.75, 0.83, 0.88 and 0.90). In addition, death rates were measured at two temperatures (4 degree C and 50 degree C) outside the growth range of E. coli. Death rate increased both at higher temperature or lower water activity. Inactivation curves resulting from exposure of E. coli to osmotic stress were biphasic. The initial rate of death was followed by a slower second phase decline, or "tailing" effect. Addition of chloramphenicol to the suspending medium reduced the tailing effect and suggested that tailing was caused by de novo protein synthesis.

It is thought to have evolved within the cyanobacterial lineage, but it has been difficult to determine when it began. Evidence based on the occurrence and appearance of stromatolites and microfossils indicates that phototrophy occurred as long ago as 3,465Myr although no definite physiological inferences can be made from these objects. Carbon isotopes and other geological phenomena, provide clues but are also equivocal. Biomarkers are potentially useful because the three domains of extant life--Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya--have signature membrane lipids with recalcitrant carbon skeletons. These lipids turn into hydrocarbons in sediments and can be found wherever the recordis sufficiently well preserved. Here we show that 2-methylbacteriohopanepolyols occur in a high proportion of cultured cyanobacteria and cyanobacterial mats. Their 2-methylhopane hydrocarbon derivatives are abundant in organic-rich sediments as old as 2,500Myr. These biomarkers may help constrain the age of the oldest cyanobacteria and the advent of oxygenic photosynthesis. They could also be used to quantify the ecological importance of cyanobacteria through geological time.

AN - 85304770; pmid-10448736 AB - OBJECTIVE: To describe characteristics of 3-dimensional (3-D) computed tomographic (CT) endoscopic images of the larynx in unilateral vocal fold paralysis and the changes of the paralyzed vocal fold after phonosurgery as indicated by 3-D CT endoscopy. SETTING: A university medical center. PATIENTS: Twelve consecutive patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis who underwent helical CT examination. Five of them underwent the CT examination before and after phonosurgical treatment. INTERVENTIONS: Three patients underwent arytenoid adduction, and 2 underwent type 1 thyroplasty. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: "Sagging," defined as caudal displacement of the vocal fold; and "thinning," defined as a decrease in the vertical thickness of the vocal fold and expansion of the ventricle on the affected side, were evaluated. RESULTS: Excessive motion artifacts in one patient prevented detailed description of his 3-D images. Sagging and thinning of the vocal fold and expansion of the ventricle on the affected side were noted on 6, 11, and 8 occasions, respectively. Adduction or augmentation of the paralyzed vocal fold after phonosurgery was observed in 3-D CT endoscopic images when displayed with bony densities. CONCLUSIONS: The use of 3-D CT endoscopy enables description of 3-D characteristics of unilateral vocal fold paralysis and supplements stroboscopic findings. Furthermore, CT endoscopic images, when simultaneously displayed with bony densities, may help in evaluating the effects of phonosurgical treatment of the paralyzed vocal fold.

AN - 70010006; 10469312 AB - We report here a patient (Ops1) with clinical photosensitivity, including pigmented or depigmented macules and patches, and multiple skin neoplasias (malignant melanomas, basal cell carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas in situ) in sun-exposed areas. These clinical features are reminiscent of xeroderma pigmentosum. As cells from Ops1 showed normal levels in DNA repair synthesis in vivo (unscheduled DNA synthesis and recovery of RNA synthesis after ultraviolet irradiation), we performed a postreplication repair assay and recovery of replicative DNA synthesis after ultraviolet irradiation to investigate if Ops1 cells belonged to a xeroderma pigmentosum variant pattern. Ops1 cells were normal, but there was an incomplete pattern repair in (6-4) photoproducts in contrast to a normal pattern repair in cis-syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers by repair kinetics using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Moreover, Ops1 cells were defective in a damage-specific DNA binding protein and carried a non-sense mutation in the DDB2 gene. These results suggest that (i) the DDB2 gene is somewhat related to skin carcinogenesis, photoaging skin, and the removal of (6-4) photoproducts; (ii) although it is believed that cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are the principal mutagenic lesion and (6-4) photoproducts are less likely to contribute to ultraviolet-induced mutations in mammals, Ops1 is one of the ultraviolet-induced mutagenic models induced by (6-4) photoproducts.

AN - 21259616; 11703773 AB - The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal systems: estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones. These three hormonal systems have been well characterized with regard to their roles in normal development, and their actions during development are known to be perturbed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals. During development, organs are especially sensitive to low concentrations of the sex steroids and thyroid hormones. Changes induced by exposure to these hormones during development are often irreversible, in contrast with the reversible changes induced by transient hormone exposure in the adult. Although it is known that there are differences in embryonic/fetal/neonatal versus adult endocrine responses, minimal experimental information is available to aid in characterizing the risk of endocrine disruptors with regard to a number of issues. Issues discussed here include the hypothesis of greater sensitivity of embryos/fetuses to endocrine disruptors, irreversible consequences of exposure before maturation of homeostatic systems and during periods of genetic imprinting, and quantitative information related to the shape of the dose-response curve for specific developmental phenomena.

AN - 21250912; 11703772 AB - The workshop "Characterizing the Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Human Health at Environmental Exposure Levels" was held to provide a forum for discussions and recommendations of methods and data needed to improve risk assessments of endocrine disruptors. This article was produced by a working group charged with determining the basic mechanistic information that should be considered when designing models to quantitatively assess potential risks of environmental endocrine disruptors in adults. To reach this goal, we initially identified a set of potential organ system toxicities in males and females on the basis of known and/or suspected effects of endocrine disruptors on estrogen, androgen, and thyroid hormone systems. We used this integrated, systems-level approach because endocrine disruptors have the potential to exert toxicities at many levels and by many molecular mechanisms. Because a detailed analysis of all these untoward effects was beyond the scope of this workshop, we selected the specific end point of testicular function for a more detailed analysis. The goal was to identify the information required to develop a quantitative model(s) of the effects of endocrine disruptors on this system while focusing on spermatogenesis, sperm characteristics, and testicular steroidogenesis as specific markers. Testicular function was selected because it is a prototypical integrated end point that can be affected adversely by individual endocrine disruptors or chemical mixtures acting at one specific site or at multiple sites. Our specific objective was to gather the information needed to develop models in the adult organism containing functional homeostatic mechanisms, and for this reason we did not consider possible developmental toxicities. Homeostatic mechanisms have the potential to ameliorate or lessen the effects of endocrine disruptors, but these pathways are also potential target sites for the actions of these chemicals.

AN - 21245171; 7675990 AB - We used the case-crossover design to identify any increase in mortality in Seoul, Korea, when there were higher levels of ambient air pollution on case-days than would be expected solely as a result of chance. This empirical study showed that either unidirectional retrospective (selecting only control days prior to death) or prospective (selecting only control days after death) control sampling could cause risk estimates to be confounded by seasonal waves as well as time trends in air pollution levels. In bidirectional control sampling in which exposures at death were compared with exposures both before and after death, the estimated mortality was resistant to confounding by time patterns of air pollution. Using a bidirectional control sampling approach, the results from a conditional logistic regression model controlling for weather conditions showed that the nonaccidental mortality associated with a 50-ppb increment over a 3-day moving average of SO(2) concentrations, including the concurrent day and preceding 2 days, was 1.023 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.016-1.084]. The relative risk of death was 1.023 (CI, 0.999-1.048) per 50 ppb for 1-hr maximum O(3) and 1.010 (CI, 0.988-1.032) per 100 microg/m(3 )or total suspended particulates. In conclusion, the findings of this study were 2-fold: given the consistency of the observed association between SO(2) and daily mortality across different analysis methods, the association reported here indicates that air pollution is a probable contributor to premature death; and bidirectional control sampling is needed in a case-crossover design applied to air pollution epidemiologic studies to control confounding by seasonal patterns of air pollution as well as time trends.

They use their lower incisors mainly to excavate their tunnel systems. We found that the lower incisors of the mole-rat grow significantly faster than the upper incisors. Upper and lower incisors of males grow significantly faster than incisors of females. Density of incisors of males was significantly higher than in females and in male laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus). In both sexes of mole-rats, maxillary bone density at the root apex area of the incisor was significantly higher than the anterior area where incisors emerge from the bone and the same area densities in male laboratory rats. We suggest that the rapid growth rate and high density of incisors in mole-rats compared with male laboratory rats represent an adaptation to their digging life-style and compensate for the extensive incisor attrition resulting from the mechanical forces of digging. Intersexual differences in mole-rat incisor growth and incisor plus maxillary bone densities are in accordance with intersexual behavioral differences: males excavate wider and longer tunnels than females and are more aggressive. Because incisors of males are used more extensively in digging and fighting than those of females, we suggest that male mole-rats develop stronger incisors with a higher compensatory growth rate than females.

Mouse plagues are a significant problem to agricultural areas of Australia, causing millions of dollars of damage. This study was conducted to determine if rainfall could explain the occurrence of mouse plagues. 2. On average, data on mouse abundance were collected every month, using mark-release-recapture techniques, from the Victorian Mallee cereal-growing region, from February 1983 to October 1994. No data were collected from December 1990 to September 1992. Three plagues of mice occurred during these 12 years. We examined the rate of increase of mouse populations as a function of antecedent rainfall. 3. The highest observed rate of increase per month was during 1986 (r = 1.86). The highest observed rate of decrease per month was during 1984 (r = -2.85). The maximum rate of increase of mouse populations used in the numerical response function was 1.16 month super(-1). The best estimate for the numerical response function was r sub(obs) = -6.79 + 7.95 (1-e super(-1.11v)). 4. The numerical response of mouse populations to rainfall was examined against 6-month accumulated rainfall that was lagged by 0, 3 and 6 months. The best fit of the model was to lag rainfall by 3 months. 5. Two systems for the response of mouse populations to rainfall are described. The plague system occurred when mouse populations responded to rainfall: populations increased following high rainfall and decreased following low rainfall. The non-plague system occurred when the exponential rate of increase and rainfall were independent: populations crashed after a plague and were unable to respond to rainfall for at least 2 years thereafter. 6. The two systems suggest that there is 'biological memory' that masks the effect of rainfall for a minimum period after a mouse plague. This memory appears to be associated with the time since the last plague, the population response by mice (including shifts in age structure) in the previous year, and the abundance of mice after the spring decline. If rainfall is used to predict mouse plagues to assist in their management, the biology of the system must be known.

The ponds were operated from April to November at 0.12, 0.24 and 0.34 m depth as batch-fed reactors. Average 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD sub(5)) loading was 6.24 g/m2u/d and the ponds were mixed at a mean surface velocity of 0.20 m/s. Dry matter, chlorophyll, optical density (OD sub(560)), NO sub(3), NO sub(2), NH sub(4), urea and total phosphorus were determined daily. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and incident irradiance were monitored continuously. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to determine significant interactions between environmental factors, biomass production and nutrient removal. Both chlorophyll a and optical density were accurate predictors of dry matter biomass. All measures of pond biomass were positively correlated with elapsed time, surface daily irradiance, daylength and pH, but negatively correlated with pond depth. Significant correlations between pH and daily irradiance, maximum dissolved oxygen and forms of nitrogen (nitrite or nitrate) suggested that the final pond pH represents an equilibrium between alkalization by photosynthesis and acidification by nitrification. Total nitrogen removal was influenced by biomass, elapsed time, temperature and daily irradiance, but not by either pH or depth. The concentration of ammonium nitrogen (NH sub(4)-N) was inversely correlated with temperature, biomass, depth, daily irradiance and daylength. Nitrification was found to occur with nitrate concentration showing a strong negative correlation with daylength, reflecting an increase in nitrifying activity by the pond biomass throughout the season. Nitrate concentrations were positively correlated with elapsed time, but negatively correlated with biomass, temperature and daily irradiance. Phosphorus removal was influenced by elapsed time and biomass concentration. Removal of biological and chemical oxygen demand (COD) at the completion of the batch rims was 96% and 78.6% respectively.

The new bathymetry data show that the shallower limits of the disposal site are positioned on the seaward edge of a gently dipping (3 degree ) mid-slope shoulder, between 1200 and 2100 m water depth. The slope below the disposal site is relatively steep (6.5 degree ) and is cut by submarine canyons which lead into the adjacent East Tasman Saddle. The SeaBeam bathymetry data show a small submarine canyon traversing the slope in 2400 m water depth directly downslope from the disposal site, with local slopes of up to 22 degree . The canyon feeds into a perched basin at 2450 m, which could be acting as a local sediment trap. Short (3000 m via turbidity flows sometime during the past 24 years. Current meter data collected from 30 m above the sea floor over one year at the disposal site show that bottom currents attain speeds of up to 0.46 m/s. The current events are attributed to eddies shed by the East Australia Current. The measured bottom currents are capable of transporting fine-grained hemipelagic muds and could provide a trigger mechanism for turbidity flows.

Sublittoral thalli collected around Helgoland, North Sea, Germany, from 6 m below the mean low water of spring tides contained less than 0.1 mg times g super(-1) dry weight (DW) total MAAs, whereas eulittoral samples contained over 1 mg times g super(-1) DW. Transplantation to shallow water led to the immediate synthesis of three MAAs in the following temporal order: shinorine ( lambda sub(max) 334 nm), asterina ( lambda sub(max) 330 nm), and palythine ( lambda sub(max) 320 nm), with the shinorine content peaking and then declining after 2 days (exposure to 100 mol photons times m super(-2)).

In this study, digestion of bacterial DNA with the restriction endonuclease NotI and PFGE were evaluated for the typing of isolates of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, an important cause of epidemic dysentery. There were 27 isolates from four outbreaks of dysentery, and 44 isolates from endemic dysentery cases and a laboratory culture collection. The epidemic isolates yielded two types each with two subtypes, whereas the endemic isolates and culture collection yielded eight types with numerous subtypes. These findings suggest that S. dysenteriae 1 can be typed by PFGE.

Daphnids were exposed to a range of DTPA concentrations at one, two and four times normal Fe, Zn and Mn concentrations, and one, two and three times the normal Cu concentration, in a series of four, three-brood reproductive experiments. Increasing the Fe concentration to 1280 mu g/l had no effect on the reproductive impairment after three broods of offspring. However, fourth brood was also monitored in the experiment, and some recovery in reproduction was observed at both 5 and 10 mg/l DTPA and 1280 mu g/l Fe. Speciation modelling indicated this was possibly due to an increase in the amount of available Fe, as Fe(OH) sub(2.7)Cl sub(0.3). Increasing the Cu concentration to 75 mu g/l (nominal) had no effect on the DTPA-induced reproductive impairment. Speciation modelling indicated that even at 75 mu g/l Cu, all Cu was bound to DTPA. Increasing the Zn concentration to 100 mu g/l (nominal) resulted in a 50-60% recovery in daphnid reproduction at 10 mg/l DTPA. However, speciation modelling indicated that, at 100 mu g/l Zn, all Zn was still bound to DTPA. Increasing the Mn concentration to 847 mu g/l resulted in a 60-70% recovery in daphnid reproduction at 10 mg/l DTPA, with speciation modelling indicating that the partial reproductive recovery was associated with an increase in available Mn, in the form of Mn-EDTA. The results of this study suggest that the DTPA-induced reproductive impairment observed in D. carinata is due to a large extent to the chelation of Mn and possibly Zn, while the chelation of Fe may also be of importance. The lowest-observed-effect concentration and no-observed-effect concentration of DTPA were 5 and 1 mg/l, respectively, based on reproduction.

(Compositae) is an extremely diverse genus of thistles, which includes several species that have become serious pasture weeds in several regions of the world. We present a comparison of the genetic diversity in invasive forms of Onopordum from Australia with several known native European species. A total of 108 polymorphic genetic markers was generated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed that Australia contained O. acanthium, O. illyricum and a full range of genetic intermediates between these species. Intermediates largely comprised segregating fragments diagnostic for European O. acanthium and O. illyricum with a low frequency of fragments that were diagnostic for other species never recorded in Australia. The current genetic patterns in Australia may be best explained by a combination of processes, both in the native and in the alien range. These include multiple introductions of seed, including hybrid material, and the continuous dispersal in Australia, leading to an increase in the contact among hybridizing taxa. Such processes appear to have produced more widespread hybridization and introgression in Australian Onopordum than is found in Europe.

Recent advances have resulted in several approaches to dealing with uncertainty in data used to classify species. These methods demand an unambiguous and transparent logical structure for the criteria. We suggest some changes to the ways in which the criteria are represented that correct an unnecessary inconsistency and which may serve to avoid important errors when uncertainty in the data is considered explicitly.

The distribution of essential metals was also examined. Results showed that food restriction and the accompanying weight loss resulted in increased blood, liver, and kidney Pb concentrations, along with higher hematocrits and reduced bone density. Swimming, which was used as the exercise, did not influence blood and organ Pb and essential element concentrations, but swimming did prevent a decrease in femur bone density. Organ iron concentrations increased during weight loss for all organs except brain, even through daily Fe intake was reduced during food restriction. Organ concentrations of calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc, however, did not increase with weight loss, with limited exceptions, and the total content of these metals was decreased in several organs.

These zones are promulgated on acute exposure guideline levels. The extensive information available on ammonia is summarized, and its toxic potency is evaluated. Data are presented on the odor and odor threshold, vapor density, acute toxic inhalation effects as determined from animal and human studies, the relationship between concentration and exposure duration in producing toxic effect, the adoption of acceptable risk criteria, fatal exposure concentration, and irreversible injury concentration.

All workers for whom data were adequately complete were included in the study. Results showed that lifetime cumulative dose was associated positively with all cancer mortality under 5-, 10-, and 20-yr lag assumptions, but radiationcancer associations were of larger magnitude and better fit when radiation doses received after age 45 were examined than when associations with lifetime cumulative dose were examined. All-cause mortality was also associated positively with cumulative radiation dose received after 45 yr of age, but the association was not as strong as that for cancer. The best-fitting regression models were a 5-yr-lag assumption for lung-cancer mortality and a 20-yr-lag assumption for other cancers.

Some European countries, however, have banned chrysotile, and an European Union-wide ban is under consideration currently. The substitution of chrysotile in specific applications is discussed, especially p-aramid, polyvinyl alcohol, and cellulose in asbestos-cement products, friction materials, gaskets and sealing materials, composites, and heat-resistant textiles. The hazardous properties of chrysotile are elucidated, along with those of the substitute fibers, to show that the substitute fibers can be designed or selected to have particular characteristics, such that the risk of lung cancer and asbestosis can be reduced.

The subjects were divided into four groups according to the concentration of As in home drinking water, which ranged 8620 mu g/l. Each subject kept a 6-d diet diary. Results showed that the within-day variation in total As/mg creatinine concentration in urine was relatively small for members of the population and appeared to be independent of exposure as measured by As concentration in drinking water. Over any 5-d period, however, either the concentration of inorganic As in drinking water or the estimated As intake was a good predictor of total As/mg creatinine excretion. Age had a small effect on this relation, but gender did not.

The subjects were employed in an electronics-dismantling plant, as clerks working full-time at computer screens, and as control hospital cleaners. Results showed the presence of five congeners in all blood samples, but concentrations were higher in subjects from the dismantling plant. The major congener found in these subjects was 2,2',3,4,4',5',6-tetrabrominated diphenyl ether, at concentrations that were approximately 70 times higher than those found in the control group. The total median polybrominated diphenyl ether concentrations in blood of subjects from the dismantling plant, of computer clerks, and of the controls were 37.0, 7.3, and 5.4 pmol/g, respectively.

Meteorological and pollutant variables were considered by regressing them against optimal generalized additive model terms. Of the pollutant measures, PM sub(2.5) and nitrate had the highest partial correlations with mortality, but there were also reasonably high correlations with PM sub(10) and sulfate. These associations remained when the Bay Area met national air-pollution standards for every criteria pollutant.

This technique was used to reassess Schwartz and Dockery's analysis of the association of total suspended particulates (TSPs) with daily mortality from nonexternal causes among residents of Philadelphia, PA, from 1973 to 1980. The design utilized conditional logic regression models to analyze the exposure odds for the case period as compared with the control period. The results show that the previous results, which indicated an association of TSP concentration with increases in daily mortality, were not sensitive to a change in modeling techniques.

Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s were used as the health endpoints. The study was conducted over a 2-yr period on 1001 children aged 9 yr at the beginning of the study. Results showed that the adjusted mean lung-function growth rate over the 2-yr follow-up period was lower significantly among boys and girls living in the more polluted area of the city, and this was observed especially clearly in boys. However, the level of pollutants within the study areas was relatively low, even in the more-polluted city center.

Adults lay after rain early in the wet season, mainly between October/November and January. On cracking clay soils, a fall of > 40 mm is required to allow oviposition, but to ensure survival of the resulting offspring, there must be follow-up rain of > 40 mm at the oviposition site within 6 weeks. Populations increase during years when more than 50% of the arid zone and Gulf receive both initial and two or more follow-up rains at intervals of less than or equal to 6 weeks. During the 1970s and 1990s, there were two periods of 3-5 years of such increase, and a large number of swarms resulted.

Aegilops tauschii), the D-genome progenitor of wheat. The library was made in a binary vector that had previously been shown to stably maintain large inserts of foreign DNA in Escherichia coli. The use of root nuclei reduced considerably the proportion of the library containing clones derived from chloroplast DNA. Several experimental parameters were investigated and optimised, leading to a high cloning efficiency. Only three ligations were needed to construct the library which was estimated to be equivalent to 3.7 haploid genomes. The accuracy of this estimation was demonstrated by screening this library with three well-defined probes. One probe containing a glutenin gene sequence identified 5 clones covering at least 230 kb of the Glu-D1 locus and contained the two tightly linked high-molecular-weight glutenin genes Glu-D1x and -D1y. Each of the other two single-copy probes derived from the Cre3 cereal cyst nematode resistance gene locus hybridised with 4 clones containing gene sequences encoding nucleotide binding sites and a leucine-rich region. This is the first representative large-insert DNA library for wheat, and the results indicated that large molecules of wheat DNA can be efficiently cloned, stably maintained and manipulated in a bacterial system.

AN - 62250387; ED463912 AB - A House of Representatives committee received testimony on programs for migrant children and for neglected and delinquent youth in the context of reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title I, Parts C and D, respectively. The director of the U.S. Office of Migrant Education explained changes in the reauthorization, including changes in funding formulas for state migrant programs, provisions covering interstate transfer of student records, and incentives for state consortia. A college student spoke of his experiences with the Migrant Education Program and related programs. Representatives of state programs and national migrant organizations discussed a home-based family literacy program in Pennsylvania; changes to federal legislation; Kentucky efforts to hold delinquent students in state programs to high standards and provide transition services after their release; and migrant education issues related to parent participation, data collection, records transfer, language of instruction, and interstate coordination. Appendices contain written statements, including a report by the Office of Migrant Education on what the Migrant Education Program does, its current status, recent innovations such as technology use, and proposed reauthorization changes; "A Comprehensive Plan for the Education of America's Migrant Children," prepared by three national migrant organizations; and "The Value of Migrant Education" (fact sheets and recommendations), by the Interstate Migrant Education Council.

We previously suggested that the immunogenicity of autologous tumor vaccines in humans may be augmented by engineering vaccinating tumor cell membranes to express alpha -galactosyl ( alpha -gal) epitopes (i.e., Gal alpha 1,3Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc-R). Subsequent in situ binding of natural anti-Gal IgG molecules to these epitopes would result in the formation of immune complexes that target tumor vaccines for uptake by APCs, via the interaction of the Fc portion of anti-Gal with Fc gamma receptors on APCs. This hypothesis was tested in a unique experimental animal model of knockout mice for alpha 1,3galactosyltransferase ( alpha 1,3GT) and the mouse melanoma B16-BL6 (referred to here as BL6). Like humans, these mice lack alpha -gal epitopes and produce anti-Gal. BL6 melanoma cells are highly tumorigenic, and like human tumor cells, they lack alpha -gal epitopes. Expression of alpha -gal epitopes on these melanoma cells was achieved by stable transfection with alpha 1,3GT cDNA. The transfected melanoma cells (termed BL6 sub( alpha GT)) express similar to 2 x 10 super(6) alpha -gal epitopes per cell and readily form immune complexes with anti-Gal. Vaccination of the mice with 2 x 10 super(6) irradiated melanoma cells that express alpha -gal epitopes, followed by challenge with 0.5 x 10 super(6) live parental melanoma cells, resulted in protection for at least 2 months (i.e., no tumor growth) in one-third of the mice, whereas all mice immunized with irradiated parental melanoma cells developed tumors 21-26 days post-challenge. The proportion of protected mice doubled when the mice were immunized twice with irradiated melanoma cells expressing alpha -gal epitopes and challenged with 0.2 x 10 super(6) live BL6 cells. Histological studies on the developing tumors in challenged mice that were immunized with melanoma cells expressing alpha -gal epitopes demonstrated extensive infiltration of T lymphocytes and macrophages, whereas no mononuclear cell infiltrates were observed in tumors of mice immunized with parental tumor cells. Overall, these studies imply that immunization of alpha 1,3GT knockout mice with BL6 melanoma cells that express alpha -gal epitopes elicits, in a proportion of the population, protective immune response against the same tumor lacking such epitopes. These studies further suggest that similar immunization of cancer patients with autologous tumor vaccines that are engineered to express alpha -gal epitopes may increase the immune response to autologous tumor-associated antigens and, thus, may elicit immune-mediated destruction of metastatic cells expressing these antigens.

AN - 62408577; ED433022 AB - The National Library Service (NLS) is developing a digital talking book and Braille book system for use by the blind and physically handicapped community. The following elements drive the design of the program: NLS offers a free library service; NLS is consumer-driven; NLS pays no royalties to copyright holders; the program is accessible to a wide variety of users; and the program's primary focus is the recreational and informational reading needs of patrons. Three assumptions have been made in planning for the next-generation talking book system: the system will be digitally based; the current cassette system will be in use for another seven to ten years; and a standard or slightly modified version of a widely-used consumer product/technology will be used to gain cost benefits of mass production. A National Information Standards Organization effort is underway to develop a standard to ensure compatibility of digital books, magazines, and playback equipment across national and agency boundaries. At the same time, four immediate tasks of the inhouse NLS group are: simulate a digital talking book using a personal computer; develop a computer-based life cycle cost analysis tool for the NLS system and candidate digital system; design and build a prototype digital collection accessing and archiving system; and design or select digital mastering and playback systems.

AN - 70815123; 10512203 AB - The gene trap technique is a powerful approach for characterizing and mutating genes involved in mouse development. However, one shortcoming of gene trapping is the relative inability to induce subtle mutations. This problem can be overcome by introducing a knock-in system into the gene trap strategy. Here, we have constructed a new gene trap vector, pU-Hachi, employing the Cre-mutated lox system (Araki et al., 1997), in which a pair of mutant lox, lox71 and lox66, was used to promote targeted integrative reaction by Cre recombinase. The pU-Hachi carries splicing acceptor (SA)-lox71-internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-beta-geo-pA-loxP-pA-pUC. By using this vector, we can carry out random insertional mutagenesis as the first step, and then we can replace the beta-geo gene with any gene of interest through Cre-mediated integration. We have isolated 109 trap clones electroporated with pU-Hachi, and analyzed their integration patterns by Southern blotting to select those carrying a single copy of the trap vector. By use of some of these clones, we have succeeded in exchanging the reporter gene at high efficiency, ranging between 20-80%. This integration system is also quite useful for plasmid rescue to recover flanking genomic sequences, because a plasmid vector sequence can be introduced even when the pUC sequence of the trap vector is lost through integration into the genome. Thus, this method, termed exchangeable gene trapping, has many advantages as the trapped clones can be utilized to express genes with any type of mutation.

AN - 69867650; 10390501 AB - A bacterial plasmid was constructed on which the regulatory region of the umuC gene of Escherichia coli was fused to the coding sequence of the green fluorescent protein gene (gfp) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Escherichia coli AB1157 strains carrying the plasmid emitted fluorescence in the presence of mutagens that induce the SOS DNA repair system. Data on tests with nitrosoguanidine, methylmethane sulphonate and UV radiation (254 nm) are presented. Although fluorescent detection using this system was not as rapid or sensitive as a similar luminescent equivalent (umuC-luxAB), the gfp reporter system was more robust. Escherichia coli umu gene induction was also analysed in Salmonella typhimurium TA1537 cells following plasmid transfer and exposure to the same range of mutagens. There was no significant difference in sensitivity between the two species.

United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, First Session. AN - 62313182; ED451011 AB - A Senate committee hearing received testimony on the creation of an American Indian Education Foundation. The foundation will be a charitable, nonprofit corporation authorized to accept and administer private gifts in support of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) Office of Education and to conduct activities that further educational opportunities for American Indians and Alaska Natives in BIA schools. The foundation is modeled on the federally-chartered National Park Foundation and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and would provide a formal mechanism to channel private contributions to BIA schools. U.S. Congressmen and representatives of the BIA, tribal colleges, and various Indian education associations offered testimony and written statements concerning the deplorable condition of many Native American schools, the huge backlog of unfunded school construction needs in Indian country, the lack of funding for new technologies in schools and related teacher training, the involvement of tribal colleges in K-12 systemic change, and the structure of the proposed foundation. The appendix includes "Tribal Colleges: An Introduction," prepared by the American Indian Higher Education Consortium; specific recommendations about the purposes, structure, and operation of the foundation; and a detailed report on unfunded construction backlog items, by category and individual BIA school.

DC Tron suppressed development of powdery mildew but was not as effective as the conventional fungicide Topas. Of the oil treatments the 1% rate applied in spray volumes of 1000 L/ha was the most efficient. Poor control was achieved with oil rates less than 1% as well as spray volumes less than 1000 L/ha whereas phytotoxicity developed in many cases at concentrations greater than 1% or spray volumes higher than 1000 L/ha. In all oil treatments, powdery mildew developed less in leaves than on bunches. This difference was attributed to poor spray coverage on bunches compared to leaves.

Benyahia laboratory boat (ISMAL). Among these, 8 surface sea water samples (2m depth) were collected at a distance of about 4-5 miles from the shore, and the 5 others on a transection reaching a depth of 500 m. The remaining 5 samples were collected at different depths of the water column, ranging from 30 to 350 m. For the surface seawater, the sampling was performed using a pump system, however, for the depth seawater, a 501 PYC water-bottle sampler was used. The choice of the sampling depths, was based upon measurement of vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and pH, using a multiparameter probe. The collected samples were analysed to determine the super(137)Cs concentrations, using the AMP technique [1,2], and the chemical yield was calculated using the injected super(134)Cs isotope tracer activity. After chemical pretreatment, the AMP precipitates obtained were transfered to an appropriate plastic container, and oven-dried at 80 degree C for (24-48) h, in order to be counted. The dried precipitates were analysed by direct counting gamma spectrometry, using a high purity Germanium detector of relative efficiency of 20.6% and resolution (FWHM) of 1.8 keV at 1332 keV gamma-energy of60Co. For the determination of detection efficiency, two standard samples were prepared in the geometries of analysis, using caesium isotope tracers ( similar to 13Bq). JF - Marine Pollution.

The aim of this study is to detect any radioactive contamination, its origin and also to determine the uptake of radioactivity by marine surface sediments. Using a combination of direct gamma spectrometry, radiochemical separations, alpha-spectrometry and beta-counting, activity levels of the most significant naturally-occurring ( super(210)Po, super(226)Ra, etc.) artificial radioisotopes ( super(137)Cs, super(90)Sr and Pu isotopes) were determined III the samples. The gamma-emitting radionuclides were determined using GeLi detectors and two different geometries, namely, 500 cm super(3) Marinelli and 250 cm super(3) plastic cylindrical form beakers. For the alpha and beta emitters, after dissolution of the samples, radiochemical separations were undergone. The source of plutonium isotopes was prepared by coprecipitation method on a 0.1 mu m pore size membrane filter [1]. Regarding the super(90)Sr, the chemical recovery was determined by gravimetry and the final source was measured by liquid-scintillation-counting (LSC) [2]. JF - Marine Pollution.

AN - 1859309331; 10407444 AB - Potassium uptake is vital for plant growth but in saline soils sodium competes with potassium for uptake across the plasma membrane of plant cells. This can result in high Na+:K+ ratios that reduce plant growth and eventually become toxic. Our understanding of the molecular basis underlying the interaction between essential potassium and toxic sodium was limited until the recent cloning and electrophysiological characterization of several genes encoding different types of molecules that are involved in K+ and Na+ transport. These molecules, and their regulation, are important in determining the K+:Na+ homeostasis of plants in saline soils, although it is not yet known which is most critical in determining the K+:Na+ ratios in whole plants.

No eggs hatched at 12 degree C or 5ppt. Temperature was the dominant factor, with the optimum being 15 degree C. Higher temperatures resulted in lower hatch rates of smaller larvae with high deformity rates. Eggs incubated at lower salinities produced heavier larvae. The optimum temperature for larval rearing, as determined by growth and survival, was 21 degree C. Suggested protocols for egg incubation and larval rearing are given, in order to minimise confounding effects from deleterious husbandry practices when using this species in toxicological studies.

The literature asserts that interaction is the key to this process, but how interaction is translated into practice is less clear. In North Queensland, Australia, the Trinity Inlet Management Program has been designed to integrate the management of a marine estuary. An analysis of the approach offers lessons for practice by demonstrating how mechanisms for information exchange and joint decision making have increased coordination, and by demonstrating the potential difficulties of implementing IEM.

In this study we test whether pLy carrying covalently attached peptides comprising the T-ag NLS (the pLyP101 derivative) can enhance transferrin-pLy-mediated transfection ("transferrinfection"). Unlike pLy itself or a pLy derivative (pLyP101T) carrying cross-linked T-ag NLS mutant peptides, pLyP101 significantly enhanced transferrinfection of a beta -galactosidase-expressing reporter plasmid. The basis of this was shown to be the ability of the pLyP101-plasmid DNA complex to be recognized with high affinity by the NLS-binding importin subunits, in contrast to pLyP101T- and pLy-plasmid complexes. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to determine the nuclear import kinetics of fluorescently labeled pLyP101 and pLyP101T in the presence of complexed plasmid, indicating that pLyP101 and not pLyP101T complexes accumulated rapidly in the nucleus. We conclude that pLy itself does not function as an NLS and that the addition of exogenous NLSs conferring interaction with the cellular nuclear import machinery can increase transferrinfection by enhancing the nuclear targeting of pLy-DNA complexes.

The effects of these substances on fusidic acid resistance levels occurred in a strain-dependent manner. The weak acid acetate, and acetaminophen did not alter fusidic acid resistance levels, while the addition of saligenin, the alcohol of salicylate, reduced gradient plate MICs for all strains studied. These findings indicate that a benzoic acid structure is required for the induction of increased intrinsic fusidic acid resistance levels. When 2 mM salicylate was added to media used in population analyses, the number of cells able to survive on high concentrations of fusidic acid increased. This increase in cell survival was observed in two unrelated fusidic acid-resistant strains, with chromosomal (WBG8287) or plasmid (WBG1576) mediated resistance determinants and two unrelated susceptible strains. The salicylate-induced increase in fusidic acid resistance was phenotypic at low fusidic acid concentrations (relative to resistance phenotype) for WBG8287 and a fusidic acid-susceptible strain. On media containing salicylate and high fusidic acid concentrations, the mutation frequency to higher fusidic acid resistance levels was greater for WBG8287, compared with unsupplemented fusidic acid-containing media. These experiments provide evidence for a novel salicylate inducible fusidic acid resistance mechanism in S. aureus.

Using data from the literature for 184 sites around the world, I found that nature reserves had one-half of the exotic fraction of sites outside reserves, and island sites had nearly three times the exotic fraction of mainland sites. However, the exotic fraction and the number of exotics were also dependent on site area, and this had to be taken into account to make valid comparisons between sites. The number of native species was used as a surrogate for site area and habitat diversity. Nearly 70% of the variation in the number of exotic species was accounted for by a multiple regression containing the following predictors: the number of native species, whether the site was an island or on the mainland, and whether or not it was a nature reserve. After controlling for scale, there were significant differences among biomes, but not continents, in their level of invasion. Multiple biome regions and temperate agricultural or urban sites were among the most invaded biomes, and deserts and savannas were among the least. However, there was considerable within-group variation in the mean degree of invasion. Scale-controlled analysis also showed that the New World is significantly more invaded than the Old World, but only when site native richness (probably a surrogate for habitat diversity) is factored out. Contrary to expectation, communities richer in native species had more, not fewer, exotics. For mainland sites, the degree of invasion increased with latitude, but there was no such relationship for islands. Although islands are more invaded than mainland sites, this is apparently not because of low native species richness, as the islands in this data set were no less rich in native species than were mainland sites of similar area. The number of exotic species in nature reserves increases with the number of visitors. However, it is difficult to draw conclusions about relative invasibility, invasion potential, or the roles of dispersal and disturbance from any of these results. Most of the observed patterns here and in the literature could potentially be explained by differences between regions in species properties, ecosystem properties, or propagule pressure.

In the 1996-1997 austral summer, 130 Antarctic and subantarctic fur seal pups (Arctocephalus gazella and A. tropicalis) were born at Macquarie Island. During that season one subadult male Hooker's sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) is believed to have caused the mortality of up to 43% of the pup cohort. During the 1996-1997 austral summer breeding season at Macquarie Island, all fur seal pups were individually marked with paint within the first week of birth and later with external tags in both foreflippers. An estimate of pup mortality was calculated based on pup carcasses discovered in and around the colony and the number of pups found to have disappeared well before weaning. On 23 January 1997 a subadult male Hooker's sea lion with a distinctive scar on its back was observed thrashing a tagged fur seal pup from side to side in shallow water. The remains of the pup's carcass were retrieved prior to any scavenging, which allowed direct evidence of sea lion predation to be recorded. Prior to the appearance of the sea lion on 23 January 1997, pup mortality was similar to that in the previous two seasons (12%-14% by 23 January) and comparable to the level of pup mortality found in most other fur seal species. Between 23 January and 26 February 1997, cumulative pup mortality rose from 14% to 64%, much higher than for 1994-1995 or 1995-1996 at the same time of year. Although only two pups were seen killed, we believe there is strong circumstantial evidence that the sea lion was responsible for most of the remaining deaths (i.e., 54 pups).

AN - 17308696; 4572080 AB - The earplugs of several baleen whale stocks exhibit seasonal growth layers which have been shown for some species to indicate the total age of the animals. A transition from early, irregular layers, to later, more regular layers can be seen in these earplugs, and this is thought to indicate the age at maturity of the whale. The earplugs of Southern Hemisphere minke whales are relatively difficult to read, particularly for the age at transition, and it has been suggested that these readings reflect no more than random allocations by the reader, rather than any real effect. Plots of average transition phase against year of birth (cohort) show a decline in the average age at transition. However, certain factors can result in a downward bias in this trend, particularly when only a short time-series is available for analysis, as was the case when this trend was first estimated some 15 yr ago. Data collected over 25 yr are now available and are reanalyzed here. A plot of mean age at transition against year of sampling for animals of similar age shows a decline, as does the conventional plot against cohort, suggesting that the decline is real. A model that simulates random allocation of the transition phase by earplug readers yields predictions that show systematic deviations from the data.

Use of biological control agents, and specifically entomopathogenic micro-organisms, could be an alternative method to chemical control. From this perspective, we carried out a screening and an evaluation of local granuloviruses which are naturally present in Indonesian pest populations. The use of an enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay allowed us to isolate three granulovirus strains from P. operculella larvae collected from three different locations in Indonesia: Wonsosobo (Central Java), Lembang (West Java), and Berastagi (Northern Sumatra). Bioassays did not reveal significant differences in the biological properties (LC sub(50) and ST sub(50)) of these strains. The restriction pattern of the viral genome (Wonsosobo strain) presented only minor variations compared to other isolates collected in different regions of the world.

The 45 study subjects consisted of service-station attendants, street vendors, and office workers, which represented high, medium, and low exposure levels, respectively. Passive organic-vapor badges were used. The badge data showed that exposure levels of benzene, ethylbenzene, and m-, p, and o-xylenes were significantly higher for the service-station attendants than for street venders and office workers, but exposure levels for toluene were higher among office workers than among street vendors. The median blood benzene levels of the service-station attendants, street vendors, and office workers were 0.63, 0.30, and 0.17 mu g/l, respectively. Blood levels of ethylbenzene, xylenes, and methyl-tert-butyl ether were also highest among service-station attendants. Similar results were found for post-shift blood benzene levels and post-shift concentrations of other VOCs.

Mercury exposure was assessed by determining the Hg concentration in hair samples. Results showed that Hg exposures were lowest in a village located beyond the junction with the Amazon River, where only two of 105 children had a hair Hg concentration above 10 mu g/g, in contrast to 58 of 76, 65 of 71, and 80 of 87 children, respectively, who exceeded this limit in the other three villages. Maternal hair Hg concentrations were correlated highly with those of their children. Dietary habits were similar in the four villages, with most children eating fish at two meals each day. Tests of motor function, attention, and visuospatial performance indicated decrements associated with the hair Hg concentrations.

It has been widely held that nitrates in drinking water are a primary cause of the disease in infants. Over the past 20 yr, however, a more complex picture of infantile methemoglobinemia has emerged, suggesting that current limits on drinking-water NO sub(3) may be too strict. Indeed, a putative mechanism has been established whereby gastrointestinal inflammation leads to methemoglobinemia; nitric oxide is produced by several tissues in response to infection and inflammation. Various studies are cited in an assessment of the relationship of NO sub(3) in drinking water and incidences of infant methemoglobinemia. It is suggested that raising the drinking-water standard for NO sub(3) from the current 10 ppm to 15 or 20 ppm would not increase the health risk to infants and would reduce the need for expensive water treatment to comply with the current maximum contaminant level.

Reproductive toxicity was assessed in terms of daily sperm production, hyaluronidase activities, and histological changes in the testis. Both total and filtered diesel exhausts were used. The dosing experiments were conducted for three months beginning at birth. Results showed that, compared to controls, rats exposed to total diesel exhaust and filtered exhaust exhibited significantly higher serum levels of testosterone and estradiol. Follicle-stimulating hormone was decreased significantly in both exposed groups, while luteinizing hormone was decreased significantly in the total exhaust-exposed group. No physically visible differences were noted among groups, but sperm production was decreased significantly in both groups exposed to diesel exhaust. The morphological and immunohistochemical alterations are described.

Results showed that, after controlling for long-term time trend, seasonality, barometric pressure, and weather variables, daily mortality counts were associated positively with 5-d lagged moving-average concentrations of PM sub(10) in all three metropolitan areas studied. This estimated association was larger when mean data from multiple monitors were used, rather than only data from one monitor. The estimated association was strengthened when the data were screened to exclude episode days that obviously were dominated by windblown dust. The estimated percent changes in mortality associated with a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(10) concentration were 1.6, 0.8, and 1.0%, respectively, for the Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Provo/Orem areas.

Uranium mining operations are quite widespread in northern Saskatchewan. Concentrations of U, radium-226, lead-210, polonium-210, cesium-137, and potassium-40 were determined in lichens and caribou, and uptake in aborigines from the consumption of caribou was calculated. The only radionuclides found in caribou soft tissue were super(210)Po, super(137)Cs, and super(40)K. Food-chain transfer from lichen to caribou muscle, using concentration ratios, was determined to be 13, 67, 12, and 2226% for U, super(226)Ra, super(210)Pb, and super(210)Po, respectively. The annual effective dose from the consumption of 100 g/d of caribou meat was calculated at 0.85 mSv/yr, which was almost doubled with the additional consumption of one liver and 10 kidneys/yr.

Groundwater ingestion and dermal contact were evaluated as local priority pathways via field questionnaires. The data were used as input to a model of the relationship between risk and the pathway exposure factor. Results showed that the mean levels of the 24 target heavy metals did not exceed US maximum contaminant levels, and no target base/neutral/acid organic compounds were detected. gamma -Chlordane was the only chlorinated pesticide found, along with several PCB congeners. The main priority agents recorded were pathogens, which were not restricted to the wastewater-irrigation district. By the coliform criterion, a potential risk of gastrointestinal disease was identified, with total coliforms and Escherichia coli counts above the Mexican standard. By the NO sub(3) criterion, the infant and young children groups were at risk from methemoglobinemia at all sites and were not restricted to the wastewater-irrigation district.

The biosamples were collected from 995 study subjects between January 1995 and December 1997. All of the samples were self-collected, but some were provided in the laboratory and others were mailed into the laboratory. The samples were evaluated in terms of the effects of fresh-processed versus mailed biosampling, biosample purification, time from laboratory receipt to DNA extraction, and long-term storage. The results showed that fresh-processed buccal swabs provided a higher PCR success rate than mailed buccal swabs. However, purification of mailed biosamples appeared to improve PCR success. Storage for up to 12 months at 4 degree C did not appear to affect PCR success significantly.

Total RNA was isolated and subjected to reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Treatment of the cells with 53 mu M Cd for 4 h, followed by removal of the metal through a change in growth medium and subsequent monitoring of hsp 27, caused an increase in both hsp 27 mRNA and protein, as well as a shift in hsp 27 isoforms to a pattern of increased phosphorylation. Acute exposure to lethal concentrations of Cd did not immediately inactivate any of the cellular components necessary for transcription, translation, or phosphorylation of hsp 27 in the human proximal tubule cells. The results further showed that constitutive levels of hsp 27 protein were not maintained in human proximal tubule cells during chronic Cd exposure, which suggested that the cytoskeleton might be a site particularly susceptible to damage in Cd-induced nephropathy.

This construct is used to perform a detection assay of the estrogenic activity of a number of chemical compounds. The development of the assay is outlined, and results are presented in terms of the efficiency of transcriptional activation of a classical consensus ERE and that of the overlapping ERE unit. The results show that synergistic activation of transcription elicited by the overlapping ERE sequence is observed for both a natural hormone and for organochlorine chemicals with estrogenic activity. This allows the detection of smaller amounts of xenoestrogens than with a classical consensus ERE.

Levels of photosynthetically active radiation 3-5 times below surface irradiance caused krill to die within a week, while animals in the dark survived. Addition of ultraviolet-B typical of depths up to 15 m were found to significantly accelerate mortality and lead to a drop in activity in all experiments. A drop in activity in krill exposed to ultraviolet-A wavelengths was evident without an increase in mortality. The protein content of animals from various treatments was found not to vary.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, and Human Resources of the Committee on Government Reform. House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, First Session. AN - 62315712; ED451809 AB - This hearing was held to consider whether the student loan programs of the Department of Education place tax dollars at risk. In his opening remarks, Representative John L. Mica (Florida) pointed out that for nearly 10 years, the U.S. General Accounting Office has labeled these programs as a high risk for fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. In 1998, Congress created the first Federal sector performance based organization (PBO) to bring about some reforms in student loan programs. One purpose of these hearings was to assess the PBO's progress to date. A recent report by the Inspector General's Office suggests that the Department of Education has incorrectly forgiven many loans to students who could well be paying them back, especially students who claimed to be dead when they were not. Although the default rate on student loans has dropped slightly, there were still about $20 million in default at the time of the hearing. Statements about the student loan program and the need for reform were given by Representatives Elijah E. Cummings (Maryland), Benjamin Gilman (New York), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), and Patsy T. Mink (Hawaii). Also presenting testimony were: (1) John Berthoud, National Taxpayers Union; (2) Thomas A. Butts, National Direct Student Loan Coalition; (3) Fred J. Galloway, former loan program evaluator; (4) Steven A. McNamara, Assistant Inspector General for Audit (Department of Education); (5) Marshall S. Smith, Acting Deputy Secretary, Department of Education; and (6) Greg Woods, Chief Operating Office, Office of Student Financial Assistance Programs, Department of Education. The prepared statements of these witnesses and letters and statements submitted for the record are included. Among these, the report of the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Education is of particular interest.

The entire sequence of the starch synthase-I cDNA (wSSI-cDNA) is 2591bp, and it encodes a polypeptide of 647 amino-acid residues that shows 81% and 61% identity to the amino-acid sequences of SSI-type starch synthases from rice and potato, respectively. In addition, the putative N-terminal amino-acid sequence of the encoded protein is identical to that determined for the N-terminal region of the 75-kDa starch synthase present in the starch granule of hexaploid wheat. Two prominent starch synthase activities were demonstrated to be present in the soluble fraction of wheat endosperm by activity staining of the non-denaturing PAGE gels. The most anodal band (wheat SSI) shows the highest staining intensity and results from the activity of a 75-kDa protein. The wheat SSI mRNA is expressed in the endosperm during the early to mid stages of wheat grain development but was not detected by Northern blotting in other tissues from the wheat plant. The gene encoding the wheat SSI (SsI-D1) consists of 15 exons and 14 introns, similar to the structure of the rice starch synthase-I gene. While the exons of wheat and rice are virtually identical in length, the wheat SsI-D1 gene has longer sequences in introns 1, 2, 4 and 10, and shorter sequences in introns 6, 11 and 14, than the corresponding rice gene.

Forest soils are notoriously variable and small changes in soil properties can have a large impact on tree productivity. Likewise, within-site variation in microclimate is known to influence growth. Within a particular climatic envelope, this variation is controlled to a large extent by topography. In this study, a range of terrain-derived attributes and indices was calculated for each of 40 growth plots from a digital elevation model (DEM) in an attempt to quantify the effects of spatial heterogeneity and establish whether they improved the interpretation of data from a field experiment. In addition, selected soil profile measurements were analyzed for their impact on tree growth and correlated with calculated terrain attributes. The presence of gleying (evidence of waterlogging) in the profile accounted for a significant proportion of the residual variation in growth response after treatment effects were removed. A combination of predicted erosion index (ei), relative available soil water (raswc), dynamic wetness index (dynwet) and tangential curvature (tancurve) contributed to significant improvements in model predictions of growth. A physiologically based model of tree growth (P RO M OD ) was applied to the site to model the effect of these variables on tree growth. We found that by using a terrain-derived waterlogging or gleying variable as input, P RO M OD could successfully account for variation in tree growth due to waterlogging (gleying) and some additional between-plot variation in growth due to soil depth.

AN - 17405191; 4634151 AB - The fouling organisms on Port Bonython pier, South Australia, had previously been monitored for 6.5 yr after initial immersion of piles using photographs of fixed positions and direct observation by divers. Up to that date it appeared that predictions based on experiments at more sheltered sites had not been fulfilled. In particular, the assemblage had not become dominated by modular organisms. The rate of change seemed to be slowing after 6.5 yr but this could not be tested. The assemblage on the piles was re-examined in December 1995, after a further 7 yr. Faunal composition differed at sites along the pier throughout the study, and still did so after 13.5 yr, but the composition at all sites tended to change in a similar way through time; positions differed in a consistent way at 6.5 and 13.5 yr, probably reflecting consistent environmental differences between sites along the pier. Abundances of key taxa fluctuated markedly from site to site at any one time, and through time. As originally predicted, after 13.5 yr much of the pile surface area had become covered by encrusting or mound-forming modular animals (54%), especially sponges, and by foliose red algae (25%); unitary organisms such as bivalves and solitary ascidians had become greatly reduced in abundance. It is now clear that the overall composition of the assemblage had not converged to a `stable' condition by 6.5 yr; more sampling dates would be needed to determine whether it had done so by 13.5 yr.

A precursor pool for apoe secretion. AN - 69807410; 10357834 AB - There appear to be multiple post-translational sites for regulation of macrophage apolipoprotein (apo)E secretion, including the presence of a distinct cell surface pool of apoE. Cell surface proteoglycans have been shown to be involved in forming this pool. The current studies were designed to investigate the role of an additional cell surface site, i.e., the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. Antiserum to the LDL receptor displaced apoE from the macrophage cell surface and into the medium during a 4 degrees C incubation from apoE-expressing J774 cells, from proteoglycan-depleted apoE-expressing J774 cells, and from human monocyte-derived macrophages. Similar results were obtained when purified monoclonal antibody to the LDL receptor was added to human monocyte-derived macrophages. J774 cells transfected to express an LDL receptor binding-defective mutant of apoE did not show a similar response to addition of LDL receptor antibody. Studies were conducted in which cells were pulse labeled for 30 min, followed by various periods of chase at 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C in the presence or absence of LDL receptor antibody. The results of these studies indicated that nascent macrophage-derived apoE binds to the LDL receptor, and that this apoE served as a precursor pool for apoE released into the medium. These studies establish a role for the LDL receptor in forming the cell surface pool of apoE and, along with data regarding the importance of proteoglycans, indicate that cell surface binding sites for nascent macrophage-derived apoE are heterogeneous. The heterogeneity of such sites could have implication for the size and turnover of this cell surface pool.

Two National Center for Education Statistics data sets provided the data for the analysis: National Household Education Survey, which provides information describing all educational activities of adults, and National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, which provides detailed information about how employers help students pay for postsecondary education. Some of the findings were the following: (1) 13 percent of adults participated in credential programs in 1995, compared with about 20 percent who participated in work-related or other structured programs; (2) 72 percent of adults employed as engineers, surveyors, or architects who enrolled in credential programs received financial assistance from their employers, compared with 50 percent of employees who were executives, administrators, and managers, 10 percent of employees who were marketing and sales workers, and 4 percent who were low-skilled manual laborers; (3) adults who worked part time were less likely to receive employer financial aid if they enrolled in credential programs (7 percent) than those who worked full time (37 percent); (4) 6 percent of all undergraduates received financial aid from their employers, averaging $932, and 13 percent of graduate and first-professional students received employer assistance averaging $2,451; and (5) male graduate students received approximately one-third more employer financial aid than female students.

It summarizes the deliberations of 43 participants involved in a 2-day forum on educational leadership. Participants included superintendents, principals, and teachers from urban, suburban, and rural school districts, as well as prominent researchers in education leadership, state policymakers, education consultants, professional development specialists, education officials, and others. The forum used a seminar approach in which leading practitioners and researchers made brief presentations that included information about successful schools and districts; the presentations were followed by discussions that focused on select questions, such as What is the definition of an effective leader for today's schools? and Which practices do successful leaders use to improve teaching and learning? The forum found that educational leaders' jobs are changing dramatically and that today's schools demand new kinds of skills and knowledge from leaders, including skills that many current educators have not mastered. Successful districts around the U.S. are testing new models of leadership that bring together superintendents and others to do cross-role work on improving instruction. Some newer, effective models for professional development give people practical opportunities to build instructional leadership and other important skills in real school contexts. Contains a list of participants.

National Study of Charter School. Third-Year Report. AN - 62485745; ED430323 AB - This report provides descriptive information on charter schools that were in operation during the 1997-98 school year. The report is part of a 4-year research program that will document and analyze the charter-school movement. Data were gathered using phone surveys, repeated field visits to a sample of charter schools and their surrounding districts, student achievement tests administered at a sample of charter schools, the collection of existing student assessments for a sample of charter schools and for other public schools, and other methods. The report opens with an overview of the charter movement, paying particular attention to the differences across charter states in terms of the number of charter schools. The next section summarizes basic characteristics of charter schools compared to other public schools, and includes such data as school size, grade-level configuration, percentages of certificated teachers, and student-to-computer ratios. The third section compares student-demographic features of charter schools to that of other public schools. The last section reviews data on several issues that are central to understanding how charter schools may operate differently from other public schools. Data show that an additional 361 charter schools opened in 1998, raising the total number of charter schools to 1,050, operating in 27 states.

AN - 21260743; 11703771 AB - This study was conducted in a school center that had been the focus of intense public concern over 2 years because of suspected mold and health problems. Because several attempts to find solutions to the problem within the community were not satisfactory, outside specialists were needed for support in solving the problem. The study group consisted of experts in civil engineering, indoor mycology, and epidemiology. The studies were conducted in close cooperation with the city administration. Structures at risk were opened, moisture and temperature were measured, and the causes of damage were analyzed. Microbial samples were taken from the air, surfaces, and materials. Health questionnaires were sent to the schoolchildren and personnel. Information on the measurements and their results was released regularly to school employees, students and their parents, and to the media. Repairs were designed on the basis of this information. Moisture damage was caused mainly by difficult moisture conditions at the building site, poor ventilation, and water leaks. Fungal genera (concentrations &200 colony-forming units (cfu)/m(3), &3000 cfu/cm(2)) typical to buildings with mold problems (e.g., Aspergillus versicolor, Eurotium) were collected from the indoor air and surfaces of the school buildings. Where moisture-prone structures were identified and visible signs of damage or elevated moisture content were recorded, the numbers of microbes also were high; thus microbial results from material samples supported the conclusions made in the structural studies. Several irritative and recurrent symptoms were common among the upper secondary and high school students. The prevalence of asthma was high (13%) among the upper secondary school students. During the last 4 years, the incidence of asthma was 3-fold that of the previous 4-year period.

AN - 21251039; 11703767 AB - Evidence shows that fetuses and infants are more affected than adults by a variety of environmental toxicants because of differential exposure, physiologic immaturity, and a longer lifetime over which disease initiated in early life can develop. In this article we review data on the effects of in utero exposure to common environmental contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), particulate matter and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). We then summarize results from our molecular epidemiologic study to assess risks from in utero exposures to ambient air pollution and ETS. This research study, conducted in Poland, used biomarkers to measure the internal and bioeffective dose of toxicants and individual susceptibility factors. The study included 160 mothers and 160 newborns. Ambient air pollution was significantly associated (p= 0.05) with the amount of PAH bound to DNA (PAH-DNA adducts) in both maternal and infant cord white blood cells (WBC). Newborns with elevated PAH-DNA adducts (greater than the median) had significantly decreased birth weight (p= 0.05), birth length (p= 0.02), and head circumference (p= 0.0005) compared to the newborns with lower adducts (n= 135). Maternal and infant cotinine levels were increased by active and passive cigarette smoke exposure of the mother (p= 0.01). An inverse correlation was seen between newborn plasma cotinine (nanograms per milliliter) and birth weight (p= 0.0001) and length (p= 0.003). Adducts were elevated in placental tissue and WBC of newborns who were heterozygous or homozygous for the cytochrome P4501A1 MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) compared to newborns without the RFLP. Levels of PAH-DNA and cotinine were higher in newborns than mothers. These results document that there is significant transplacental transfer of PAH and ETS constituents from mother to fetus; that PAH-DNA adduct levels in maternal and newborn WBC were increased with environmental exposure to PAH from ambient pollution; and that the fetus is more sensitive to genetic damage than the mother. The study also provided the first molecular evidence that transplacental PAH exposure to the fetus is compromising fetal development. If confirmed, these findings could have significant public health implications since a number of studies have found that reduction of head circumference at birth correlates with lower intelligence quotient as well as poorer cognitive functioning and school performance in childhood.

AN - 21250861; 11702206 AB - In studies on the relation between indoor mold exposure and symptoms/disease, the exposure should be described in terms of biomass and not viability. This paper reviews field studies in which (1--> 3)-ss-d-glucan was measured as a marker of biomass and was related to the extent of symptoms and measures of inflammation among exposed subjects. Increased levels of (1-->3)-ss-d-glucan were related to an increased extent of symptoms and markers of inflammation.

AN - 21250824; 11702205 AB - The prevalence and severity of asthma has increased in the last 20 years, and the greatest increase has been seen among children and young adults living in U.S. inner cities. The reasons for this increase are obviously complex, but include environmental exposures to allergens and pollutants, changing patterns of medication, and the psychosocial stresses of living in poor inner-city neighborhoods. This paper presents an overview of environmental, immunologic, and genetic factors associated with asthma morbidity and mortality. This overview can be used to provide a framework for designing an interdisciplinary research program to address the complexities of asthma etiology and exacerbation. The strongest epidemiologic association has been found between asthma morbidity and the exposure of immunologically sensitive asthmatic patients to airborne allergens. Our current understanding of the process of sensitization suggests that there is a strong genetic predisposition to form IgE to allergenic proteins on airborne particles. Much of this work has been conducted with animal models, but in a number of instances, specific confirmation has been reported in humans. Sensitized individuals respond to inhaled exposure with immediate mast-cell dependent inflammation that may be augmented by pollutant particles, especially diesel exhaust particles. Relatively little is known about the methods of assessing exposure to airborne pollutants, especially biologically active particulates. However, to examine the relationship of morbidity in genetically predisposed individuals, it will be important to determine the most relevant method of making this assessment.

AN - 21250567; 11702204 AB - This is a review of exposure conditions, clinical presentation, and morbidity of children and adults with indoor fungal exposure such as toxic Stachybotrys chartarum. Indoor exposure was characterized using different methods including microscopic, culture, cytotoxicity screening tests, and chemical analyses. Clinical case histories and physical and laboratory findings are presented of children (age & 18 years, n = 22; mean age 9 years; 60% females) and adults (age >18 years, n = 125; mean age 39 years, 67% females) who consulted an environmental health specialty clinic. In the pediatric patients' exposure history, widespread fungal contamination of water-damaged building materials with known toxic or allergic fungi was identified. Primarily disorders of the respiratory system, skin, mucous membranes, and central nervous system were reported. Some enumeration and functional laboratory abnormalities, mainly of the lymphatic blood cells, were observed, although no statistically significant differences were found. IgE or IgG fungi-specific antibodies, used as exposure markers, were positive in less than 25% of all tested cases. In an evaluation of a symptomatic girl 11 years of age (sentinel case investigation) living in an apartment with verified toxigenic fungi (i.e., S. chartarum), several health indicators showed improvement after exposure cessation.

A 39-year-old African American male with hypertension presented to Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center with a 1-month history of progressive dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, and dependent edema. He was taking Ma Huang (Herbalife) 1-3 tablets twice daily for 3 months along with other vitamin supplements, pravastatin, and furosemide. Physical examination revealed a male in mild respiratory distress. The lung fields had rales at both bases without audible wheezes. Internal jugular venous pulsations were 5 cm above the sternal notch. Medical therapy with intravenous furosemide and oral enalapril was initiated upon admission. Cardiac catheterization with coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries, a dilated left ventricle, moderate pulmonary hypertension, and a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 34 mm Hg. The patient had right ventricular biopsy performed demonstrating mild myocyte hypertrophy and an infiltrate consisting predominantly of lymphocytes with eosinophils present in significantly increased numbers. Treatment for myocarditis was initiated with azothioprine 200 mg daily and prednisone 60 mg per day with a tapering course over 6 months. Anticoagulation with warfarin and diuretics was initiated and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition was continued. Hydralazine was added later. One month into therapy, an echocardiogram demonstrated improved left ventricular function with only mild global hypokinesis. A repeat right ventricular biopsy 2 months after the first admission showed no evidence of myocarditis. At 6 months, left ventricular ejection fraction was normal (EFN 50%) and the patient asymptomatic. Ephedra (Ma Huang) is the suspected cause of hypersensitivity myocarditis in this patient due to the temporal course of disease and its propensity to induce vasculitis.

Anti BPDE Immunoglobulin G (IgG) were elicited in Swiss mice before subsequent carcinogen administration. The immunization schedule consisted of four weekly subcutaneous injections of both ( plus or minus )-anti BPDE-gelatin (BPDE-Gel) and DNA (BPDE-DNA) conjugate, followed by a final immunogen injection 14 days later. The immunization procedure resulted in the production of specific anti-BPDE antibodies in all treated animals. One week after the end of the immunization procedure, both groups of immunized and non immunized mice were treated with different doses of B[a]P (25-50-100-200 mg B[a]P/Kg body weight) by intraperitoneal injection. Seven days after treatment, the mice were sacrified. Adduct levels were detected by competitive ELISA by using optimal conditions established in our laboratory and highly specific and sensitive IgG anti BPDE-DNA induced in rabbit. The determination of DNA adducts in liver revealed significantly lower B[a]P adduct levels in liver of immunized mice with respect to non-immunized animals. This result confirms those obtained for 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) in a previous work: the specific humoral immunity elicited by repeated carcinogen exposure may be able to modulate the genotoxic effect induced by subsequent carcinogen administration.

The ability of different rhizobial isolates collected from any one site to establish effective nitrogen-fixing associations with host-plants from that site showed significant variation in 22 host Acacia species and nearly all of 67 populations. The average Acacia host-Rhizobium strain combination was only about 70% effective. Many combinations were far poorer; in a few cases the worst combination resulted in plants less than one-tenth the size of the best combinations. 2. The ability of rhizobial isolates to form effective symbiotic interactions showed marked host population and rhizobial-isolate effects in a study of eight, four and nine populations of A. dealbata, A. implexa and A. mearnsii. A more complete trial involved three populations of each of A. dealbata, A. implexa, A. irrorata, A. mearnsii and A. melanoxylon. These were inoculated with a range of rhizobial isolates previously shown to be highly, moderately or weakly successful in forming an effective association. Evidence of marked host population and rhizobial origin effects was found but there was very little evidence of isolate-host population interaction effects. 3. The general lack of host population-rhizobial origin interaction effects suggests that rhizobial strains selected as highly effective for an Acacia species growing in a particular population will generally perform well symbiotically with that species in other populations. This will make their practical application as inoculants in revegetation and forestry situations much easier. 4. Significant host-based variability in the ability to form effective symbiotic interactions was detected in comparisons of half-sib families of A. dealbata, A. mearnsii and A. melanoxylon. In the case of A. dealbata, the interaction between half-sib family lines and rhizobial isolates was complex, with `locally' derived isolates performing better than `foreign' ones. There were also significant interaction effects. In A. mearnsii, on the other hand, the only significant differences were detected between the response of different half-sib families to the same rhizobial isolate. The occurrence of host-based variability indicates that in Acacia breeding programmes attention should be given to the possibility of inadvertent selection affecting these relationships.

Our results indicate that no aspartate residue has a pK sub(a) greater than similar to 4.8 in any of the three complexes studied. The resonance of aspartate 26 in the dibydrofolate-enzyme complex has been assigned by site-directed mutagenesis; aspartate 26 is found to have a pK sub(a) value of less than 4 in this complex. Such a low pK sub(a) value makes it most unlikely that the ionization of this residue is responsible for the observed pH profile of hydride ion transfer [apparent pK sub(a) = 6.0; Andrews, J., Fierke, C. A., Birdsall, B., Ostler, G., Feeney, J., Roberts, G. C. K., and Benkovic, S. J. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 5743-5750]. Furthermore, the downfield chemical shift of the Asp 26 super(13)C gamma resonance in the dihydrofolate-enzyme complex provides experimental evidence that the pteridine ring of dihydrofolate is polarized when bound to the enzyme. We propose that this polarization of dihydrofolate acts as the driving force for protonation of the electron-rich O4 atom which occurs in the presence of NADPH. After this protonation of the substrate, a network of hydrogen bonds between O4, N5 and a bound water molecule facilitates transfer of the proton to N5 and transfer of a hydride ion from NADPH to the C6 atom to complete the reduction process.

Lucanids are saproxylic beetles, dependent on dead, moribund and decaying wood. Samples taken from old-growth forest and from a chronosequence of sites regenerating after logging, in each forest type, were used to compare the species richness and abundance of the lucanid assemblages. In both forest types, species richness and abundance was highest in the youngest regeneration sites (1-3 year), reflecting the species richness of the original and adjacent unlogged forest, lowest in the older (20-25 year) sites, and variable in the old-growth sites. TWINSPAN cluster analysis showed no clear distinction between regeneration and old-growth forest. The post-harvest slash and stump residue provided an important refugium and initial habitat, but our research indicates that some species may not maintain populations in the long term. Our results suggest that most species of lucanids will find a continuous supply of suitable habitat only in old-growth forests; and such species may become less common as clearfell harvesting leads to a replacement of heterogeneous old-growth forest with single-aged monospecific stands. Continuity of supply of wood in all decay stages, the maintenance of sufficient source areas, and biological connectivity between old-growth stands to enable dispersal, are all likely to be essential to maintain lucanid beetle community integrity. If similar principles apply to other saproxylic species of invertebrate, then clearfelling and slash-burning may cause a gradual extinction of an important element of the forest biota.

Using a wt-p53 recombinant adenovirus (Ad-p53), we demonstrated that exogenous wt-p53 expression was able to increase the sensitivity to BCNU in ADF cells. Interestingly, this effect was more evident when Ad-p53 infection was performed after BCNU treatment compared with the opposite sequence. To understand the biological basis of these different behaviors, we analyzed the cell cycle of the differently treated cells. We found that Ad-p53 infection induced a persistent accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase while, as expected, BCNU induced a block in the G2-M phase. Ad-p53 arrow right BCNU sequence did not significantly modify the cell cycle profile in respect of Ad-p53 infected cells. In contrast, BCNU arrow right Ad-p53 sequence provoked G2-M arrest similar to that observed after treatment with BCNU alone, but prevented the later recovery of the cells through the cell cycle, by driving the cells to apoptotic death. These results demonstrate that the administration sequence is important to increase drug sensitivity. To generalize the phenomenon observed on ADF line, the antiproliferative effect of the two different schedules was analyzed on other glioblastoma lines (A172, CRS-A2, U373MG) with different BCNU sensitivity and p53 status. The data obtained confirm that the wt-p53 gene transfer enhances BCNU sensitivity in glioblastoma cells depending on the administration sequence.

The dominant species in the urban plantation were Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa. A variety of eight patches of the canopy was produced by previous forest management practices. Progressive and retrogressive species dynamics within these eight patches are investigated in this paper. The study elucidates the deterministic role of patchiness in the nature of species colonization and the maintenance of species diversity in an urban forest. Altogether 139 native and/or naturalized species, including 23 shrub and 35 tree species, were recorded in the study area of 3.2 ha. The performance of species varied according to their successional attributes indicating a selective canopy influence. Twenty percent of the tree species were shade-intolerant pioneers (e.g. Cornus spp., Rhus javanica var. roxburghii) re-established under selective tree-felling. Thirty percent were shade-tolerant climax species (e.g. Neolitsea sericea, Persea thunhergii) dominant in remnant closed patches. The remaining 50% belonged to various seral types with aggressive deciduous species (e.g. Aphananthe aspera, Celtis sinensis) in most of the patches. Some ruderal herbaceous species dominated heavily disturbed clear-felled patches. This study suggests that canopy modification influences the subsequent colonization pattern. Furthermore, heterogeneous patches contribute to greater species diversity and dynamics in isolated woodlands.

Identification of enterococci using conventional biochemical tests are often tedious to perform in a routine diagnostic laboratory and may give equivocal results. This study evaluates the usefulness of ribotyping by DNA hybridisation to identify 68 members of the bacterial genus Enterococcus characterised by a conventional test scheme. DNA probes (830 bp in size) were derived from the 16S rRNA gene of E. coli or E. faecalis by PCR, labelled with horseradish peroxidase and used in Southern blot hybridisations of enterococcal DNA digested with EcoRI. Unique ribotypes were obtained for 11 different species using 12 Enterococcus type strains. Ribotyping identified 44 E. faecalis isolates, 19 E. faecium isolates, two E. durans isolates and one E. avium isolate in concordance with results of the biochemistry tests. Two isolates that had ribotype patterns identical to the E. faecium type strain were unable to be definitively identified by biochemical tests. The results show that ribotyping is able to differentiate between E. faecium and E. faecalis and may be useful for identifying other enterococci in the hospital setting. In addition, ribotyping using DNA probes and enhanced chemiluminescence is a safe and more reproducible alternative to radiolabelling RNA in a clinical microbiology laboratory.

Inhibition of phagosome lysosome fusion is a strategy used by several intracellular bacteria that grow within mammalian cells. It was shown recently that Legionella pneumophila possesses a cytolytic activity that results from the insertion of pores in the macrophage membrane upon contact, and that this activity requires the dot/icm, gene products, which are necessary for intracellular growth and phagosome trafficking. Other bacteria that inhibit phagosome lysosome fusion, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, demonstrate similar cytolytic activities, which suggests that formation of pores in the phagosome membrane may account for the defects observed in phagosome trafficking. In this study, we identify a new class of L. pneumophila mutant that retains the pore-forming activity found in virulent bacteria, but is defective in phagosome lysosome fusion inhibition and intracellular growth. These data indicate that cytolytic activity is not sufficient for L. pneumophila-induced alterations in phagosome trafficking. Rather, the pore may be a vehicle that facilitates delivery of bacterial-derived effector molecules to the host cell cytoplasm.

The concentration of human activity around this shallow, sheltered gulf ecosystem has led to conflict and competition over the use of marine and coastal resources. The gulf supports extensive areas of ecologically significant subtidal and tidal coastal wetlands, comprising seagrass meadows, mangroves and saltmarshes, with nine wetlands having recognized national importance. The wetlands support economic activities such as commercial and recreational fishing, tourism and aquaculture, and to a lesser extent, mineral and petroleum exploration and shipping. These environments and activities are threatened by the effects of land-based urbanization, coastal development, stormwater runoff effluent and industrial discharges, and the resultant decline in water quality and food-chain contamination. Marine activities can also have adverse effects (i.e., dredging, sea-dumping, overfishing, fishing methods, oil spills, antifoulants, ballast water introductions), including the developing aquaculture industry. The continued loss and degradation of marine and coastal wetlands in the gulf is exacerbated by inadequate protection measures, lack of integrated management structures and policies, and conflict between competing user groups. Strong policies and integrated decision making based on sound information is required for the equitable and sustainable use of these wetlands. Gulf-level management of multiple-uses would limit the cumulative impacts of human use and coastal development. There is a particular need to protect areas with high conservation value and for future research and marine conservation to focus on the coastal nearshore ecosystem. High priorities are coastal and biodiversity inventories, understanding of ecological processes, linkages between coastal and offshore habitats, and coastal spatial mapping and information systems.

While federal agencies have not used the methodology widely for assessing the value of these resources per se, federal damage assessment laws and regulations have been more explicit in terms of assessing nonuse values that have been damaged, particularly under CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, and the Oil Pollution Act. The underlying economic theory of contingent valuation is discussed, and applications of the method, which involves asking respondents how much they would be willing to pay or to accept a change in a specific good in a hypothetical market framework, are elucidated. The design of a typical contingent valuation survey is outlined, as are methods for measuring reliability, validity, and bias of the responses. Selected empirical critiques of the methodology are provided.

This distribution is described by the interindividual geometric standard deviation (GSD sub()i, which is intended to represent the variability in blood Pb concentrations for children exposed to similar environmental concentrations of Pb. The recommended default GSD sub()ifor Pb in the model is 1.6. Several methodologies are presented for calculating the site-specific GSD sub()i and the performance advantages and limitations of each are examined.

The farmers had been exposed for an extended period to mixed pesticides. Three different cytogenetic assays were performed: the standard chromosome aberration assay, the challenge assay, and the tandem-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay. Each is described. Results showed that, compared to the controls, the banana farmers had a consistent increase in chromosome abnormalities in all measured categories as determined by the standard chromosome aberration assay, and significantly abnormal DNA repair responses as determined by the challenge assay. Results from the FISH assay, however, were not statistically different between the farmers and the controls. The results from the first two assays suggested that the farmers had been exposed to genotoxic agents.

A total of 86 children from southwest metropolitan Mexico City were used, along with 12 children as controls. Air samples were monitored for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and suspended particulates. DNA damage was assessed by the single gel cell electrophoresis assay. Results showed that the children in the control group reported no nasal or respiratory symptoms, whereas the exposed children reported nasal obstruction, epistaxis, nasal dryness, cough, and chest discomfort. The mean nuclear staining for 8-OHdG in nasal cells was significantly different between the exposed and control groups. In addition, the percentage of nasal cells with DNA damage was increased in an age-dependent manner in the exposed children.

Water samples were collected and analyzed, and drinking-water consumption data were obtained by questionnaire. The median Cu values in the drinking-water samples were 0.52 and 0.80 mg/l for Malmo and Uppsala, respectively. Values tended to be highest in the morning and lowest in the evening. In Malmo, there was a considerable difference in Cu concentrations between areas according to a water source. The mean daily intake of drinking water was 0.62 l, and the median daily intake of Cu from drinking water was 0.32 mg. The median Cu concentration in drinking water was markedly lower in dwellings built between 1940 and 1960 than in those built before 1920.

During the 2-yr study, an IUGR birth was defined as one whose birth weight fell below the tenth percentile by gender and gestational week for the Czech Republic. The concentrations of particulate matter were measured continuously. Results showed that the daily concentrations of PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5) ranged 4333 and 1332 mu g/m super(3), respectively. Both the medium and high exposures were statistically significant for both PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5). Increases in IUGR were associated with PM sub(10) levels over 40 mu g/m super(3) and with PM sub(2.5) levels over 37 mu g/m super(3) during early pregnancy. Neither season nor year of survey were associated significantly with IUGR, but both appeared to be confounders.

Air-pollution data on particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone were collected and related to the emergency department visit data. Significant associations between increased emergency department visits for asthma and air pollution were found across the three utilization regions. The visits were associated significantly with concentrations of fine particles, PM sub(10), and CO. The PM sub(10) and CO data were found to be significant predictors of emergency department asthma visits in the low-utilization and for the combined utilization areas.

In addition, pesticide-transfer estimates were compared from carpet and furniture surfaces to skin using hand press and wipe sampling methods. All insecticide applications were conducted according to label instructions. Results showed that skin removed 0.040.69% of the chlorpyrifos deposited on surfaces by either broadcast or aerosol applications. Hand contact removed 39% of the amount measured by wipe sampling from carpet and 22% from furniture. Hand contact removed 36% of the amount measured by polyurethane foam roller sampling. Overall, the measurement methods substantially overestimated the amount of residue removed by skin contact.

Half of the women were under 30 yr of age and half were over. Results showed that at least one organochlorine was found in all samples, with p,p'-DDE found at the highest concentration, followed by beta -hexachlorocyclohexane. Of the PCBs, congeners 153/132 and 138/160 were present at the highest concentrations. The median endrin concentration was significantly higher in Kiyv, while the median concentrations of hexachlorobenzene, trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, heptachlor epoxide, and many of the PCBs were significantly higher in women from Dniprodzerzhinsk. Older women tended to have higher levels of organochlorine compounds than younger women, especially p,p'-DDE, beta -hexachlorocyclohexane, hexachlorobenzene, trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, and several PCB congeners. All concentration data are tabulated.

Questionnaires were used to determine the health status and breast-feeding pattern of the infants; the health status, food frequency pattern, smoking status, medication use, and residential history of the mothers; and the work history of the mothers and fathers. Six state farms were selected for the study based on their high birth and high infant mortality rates. The extensive resulting data are tabulated, which show that the TCDD concentrations were tenfold higher at the farms than background concentrations, and TCDD was the major contributor to the toxic equivalent values in the samples collected. Only the major residence was found to be a significant risk factor. The food chain was found to be widely contaminated, due to the use of cotton defoliants in the region.

It is a twin donor study, with one individual HIV super(+), the other HIV super(-) using a sample size of 4-6 pairs of HLA-identical twins. The study procedures will comprise one round of leukapheresis from the HIV super(-) twin followed by CD4 super(+) T lymphocyte isolation, retoviral transduction, cell expansion and infusion into the HIV super(+) twin. The harvested peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) will be activated using OKT3 and IL-2, divided into two equal groups, and transduced with a replication-incompetent vector containing a neomycin-resistance gene (neo super(R)) or a vector containing a neo super(R)/ribozyme gene. The two cell populations will then be separately expanded with IL-2. These ex vivo procedures will all occur with a 'CellMax super(TM) Artificial Capillary Cell Culture System'. Both populations will then be infused into the HIV super(+) twin (approximately 10 super(9) CD4 super(+) T cells of each neo super(R) only and neo super(R)/ribozyme). Detection of the genetically marked cells (both integration and expression) will be via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Frequent monitoring of the recipients will continue for a period of at least 24 weeks post-infusion and will continue indefinitely at regular intervals for assessment of the long-term safety of the procedure. This work is based on previous gene therapy protocols in the adenosine deaminase deficiency and HIV therapeutics areas. In addition, other clinical protocols, conducted in the USA have recently shown persistence, implying proliferation, of HIV super(-) T lymphocytes following infusion into HIV super(+) matched siblings.

Hearing of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on Examining Various Strategies for Transforming the Forgotten Half into the Indispensable Foundation of the 21st Century Workforce and for Making Secondary Education the Centerpiece of Those Strategies. United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, First Session. AN - 62304055; ED449305 AB - This document records the oral and written testimony from a 1999 Senate Committee hearing on "the forgotten half"--young people who do not continue their education past high school and, in many cases, do not finish high school. Witnesses testified that there is a great need for persons with technical skills to fill existing and projected jobs in the United States, but that young people with the appropriate skills cannot be found. In response to this need, some witnesses suggested that more attention should be paid to high schools when Congress re-authorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Current legislation directs only 8 percent of the funds authorized by the act to high schools, although 28 percent of students are in high school. The witnesses asked for more funding for programs to improve high school teaching in technical areas and for minority and disadvantaged students, and to create innovative programs. Several witnesses profiled the programs in which they are involved, which have been successful in helping low-achieving students to acquire basic and technical skills and to advance to postsecondary education and to higher-wage employment.

Under favorable moisture conditions, A. dealbata grew at a rate close to (and sometimes exceeding) that of E. nitens, bringing about canopy closure by two years of age where A. dealbata stem frequencies were high. Competition peaked at age 2-6 years before declining as the A. dealbata canopy was suppressed, in part by intra-specific Acacia competition. E. nitens basal area was a highly significant inverse correlate of A. dealbata stem density from ages 2-8 years. However, a simple correlation between E. nitens and A. dealbata basal areas was significant only in young stands (age 2-4 years). The effects of early-age competition by A. dealbata on E. nitens productivity were substantial, reducing standing volume compared to Acacia-free plots by almost 25% by age eight years. Soil nitrogen status was positively correlated with A. dealbata presence at both ages sampled (four and eight years) and negatively correlated with E. nitens basal area. A. dealbata was, therefore, considered to be a net contributor of nitrogen during this period, but competition for other resources negated any positive effect of this contribution.

Hearing before the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, 106th Congress, First Session. AN - 62305833; ED446850 AB - In preparation for reauthorization of Even Start and other Federal education programs, these hearings transcripts recount testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce concerning the Even Start and family literacy programs. Testimony was presented by: (1) the president of the National Center for Family Literacy, giving an overview of family literacy concepts and outlining the components of a quality family literacy program; (2) the director of the National Institute for Literacy, discussing the importance of evaluations of the Even Start program and the use of instructional programs based on scientific research; (3) a state manager for the Even Start program, discussing the importance of flexible Federal legislation to allow states to accomplish their family literacy goals; and (4) other local literacy program administrators. The transcripts' nine appendices contain written testimony. The testimony indicated that family literacy programs may help undereducated parents gain the skills they need to become self-sufficient and to help their children through school; the positive impact of such programs on families suggests that they can be an important strategy for student success. Recommendations for evaluation of Even Start programs included examination of the adult education component and better application of research findings on learning to read to the intergenerational approach.

The content of flavanols in the cells on the 6th day was approximately twice that of the control culture (31.9-60.7 mg/g dry wt). However, the contents of other secondary metabolites such as chlorogenic acid and gallic acid were not changed. The levels of flavanols in the culture medium remained unchanged throughout the 21-day culture period. Of the the inorganic components supplemented to the culture medium , only elevated levels of calcium chloride induced an increase in flavanol contents of the cells. The results indicated that the elevated concentration of calcium in the culture medium played an important role in activating the accumulation of flavanols.

Methods and results: In this paper we use Bradford Hill criteria to synthesize results from the biological and epidemiological literature in a formal assessment of the strength of support for such a relationship. Although we find that these criteria, designed for clinical trials, do not give an ideal framework for assessment of epidemiological and biological studies, nevertheless they do provide systematic guidance for this assessment. For the general population, of the nine tests proposed by Hill we find that one (biological plausibility) seems to be supported, though not unarguably; three (strength, consistency, specificity) appear to fail by accepted standards; and the remaining five have insufficient data for a clear evaluation (biological gradient, experimental evidence, temporality, coherence, analogy). Overall, this provides at best weak support for a causal association between ETS and IHD across the general community. Conversely, there appears to be more support, especially in the biology studies, for an association between ETS and IHD for those with pre-existing disease, although epidemiological studies are limited in this area. Conclusions: One of the outcomes of this review is the identification of areas of focus for future epidemiological and biological research. First, we find that stronger associations may be found in the particular subpopulation with pre-existing IHD. In this case, more convincing biological plausibility and experimental evidence indicate a need for relevant epidemiological studies, although individual responses are very variable. Second, we identify the need for further, more detailed evaluations of the nature of vessel wall thickenings occurring in experimental models of ETS exposure. Third, we propose long-term animal studies of initiation of IHD, including direct assessment of effects on the accumulation of lipid in vessel walls, at appropriate ETS exposure levels. Short abstract We use Bradford Hill criteria to synthesize the biological and epidemiological literature so as to assess formally whether ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is caused by exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). For the general population we find, at best, weak support for causality: of nine tests, one (biological plausibility) is supported, though not unarguably; three (strength, consistency, specificity) fail; and five (biological gradient, experimental evidence, temporality, coherence, analogy) have insufficient data for clear evaluation. For the population with pre-existing IHD the biological support is possibly stronger. We identify three areas for future research: epidemiological studies of those subpopulations with pre-existing IHD; evaluation of the nature of vessel wall thickenings occurring in experimental studies; and long-term animal studies of initiation of IHD, including direct assessment of effects on the accumulation of lipid in vessel walls, at appropriate ETS levels.

At the regional level viable biodiversity conservation requires a range of management strategies that may include the establishment of statutory protected areas, a range of off-park conservation management measures and achievable guidelines for ecologically sustainable land management at the landscape scale. Monitoring the performance of protected areas in achieving biodiversity conservation requires a commitment by government to facilitate involvement and participation of the wider community. Four Australian case studies discuss how public-private conservation partnerships are integrating sustainable land management and biodiversity conservation at the regional level.

The subsequent hybrid growth model was used to predict the time course of height and volume growth in 16 plantations of E. globulus located in northern Tasmania, Australia. Growth in these plantations was constrained by temperature, water stress, waterlogging and poor site nutrition. With the help of a few simple, easily obtained site descriptors, P RO M OD was used to predict the site index for these sites. This site index was used to run N IT G RO . Comparison of predictions with observed height and volume growth indicated that height growth was predicted accurately, but that estimates of volume growth were biased. The bias in the estimates of volume growth may be the result of the application of a growth model developed for E. nitens plantations to E. globulus plantations.

Narratives reveal significant differences in orientation to first birth according to women's social class, but also reveal significant shifts in identity & empowerment with subsequent births. Findings differ significantly from existing accounts of power relations in childbirth, which have tended either to universalize women, or, in more recent poststructuralist accounts, to abandon the notion of socially structured differences between women altogether. Results here indicate that social class has a strong effect on the shaping of identity, but these differences can be transcended by the experience of childbirth itself, which is a critical reflexive moment in many women's lives. 91 References.

AN - 21258817; 11702199 AB - The concentrations of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to which workers are exposed have been measured, using nicotine or other tracers, in diverse workplaces. Policies restricting workplace smoking to a few designated areas have been shown to reduce concentrations of ETS, although the effectiveness of such policies varies among work sites. Policies that ban smoking in the workplace are the most effective and generally lower all nicotine concentrations to less than 1 microg/m3; by contrast, mean concentrations measured in workplaces that allow smoking generally range from 2 to 6 microg/m3 in offices, from 3 to 8 microg/m3 in restaurants, and from 1 to 6 microg/m3 in the workplaces of blue-collar workers. Mean nicotine concentrations from 1 to 3 microg/m3 have been measured in the homes of smokers. Furthermore, workplace concentrations are highly variable, and some concentrations are more than 10 times higher than the average home levels, which have been established to cause lung cancer, heart disease, and other adverse health effects. For the approximately 30% of workers exposed to ETS in the workplace but not in the home, workplace exposure is the principal source of ETS. Among those with home exposures, exposures at work may exceed those resulting from home. We conclude that a significant number of U.S. workers are exposed to hazardous levels of ETS.

AN - 21258796; 11702198 AB - Mechanical systems are used in buildings to provide conditioned air, dissipate thermal loads, dilute contaminants, and maintain pressure differences. The characteristics of these systems and their operations h implications for the exposures of workers to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and for the control of these exposures. This review describes the general features of building ventilation systems and the efficacy of ventilation for controlling contaminant concentrations. Ventilation can reduce the concentration of ETS through dilution, but central heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) can also move air throughout a building that has been contaminated by ETS. An understanding of HVAC systems is needed to develop models for exposures of workers to ETS.

AN - 21258027; 11703766 AB - This article is a description of the current situation in France with regard to occupational cancer: research, prevention, and occupation. Toxicologic experiments are carried out using (italic)in vitro(/italic) and (italic)in vivo(/italic) tests, particularly using transgenic mice. Several epidemiologic studies have been conducted over the last decades: population-based case-control studies; mortality studies and cancer incidence studies carried out in historical cohorts of workers employed in the industry; and case-control studies nested in occupational cohorts. French ethical aspects of toxicologic and epidemiologic studies are described. The results thus obtained are used to establish regulations for the prevention and the compensation of cancers attributable to occupational exposure. This French regulation for prevention of occupational cancer involves several partners: (italic)a(/italic)) the states authorities, including labor inspectors, responsible for preparing and implementing the labor legislation and for supervising its application, particularly in the fields of occupational health and safety and working conditions; (italic)b(/italic)) the Social Security Organisation for the analysis of present or potential occupational risks based on tests, visits in plants, complaints or requests from various sources, and statistics. These activities are performed within the framework of the general French policy for the prevention of occupational cancer. This organization includes the National Institute for Research and Safety, particularly involved in research in the various fields of occupational risks--animal toxicology, biologic monitoring, exposure measurements epidemiology, psychology, ergonomy, electronic systems and machineries, exposure to chemicals, noise, heat, vibration, and lighting; and (italic)c(/italic)) companies where the regulation defines the role of the plant manager, the occupational physician, and the Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee (comprising the manager, employees' representatives, the occupational physician, and the safety department) in dealing with any problem regarding safety, occupational hygiene, and working conditions. These organizations along with medical practitioners are involved with the compensation of occupational cancers. The regulation for compensation includes the tables of occupational cancer, the possibility of recognition of a cancer case when the requirements of the tables are not met, and the postprofessional follow-up of workers exposed to a carcinogenic agent.

AN - 21256646; 11702200 AB - When using the mass balance equation to model indoor air quality, the primary assumption is that of uniform mixing. Different points in a single compartment are assumed to have the same instantaneous pollutant concentrations as all other points. Although such an assumption may be unrealistic, under certain conditions predictions (or measurements) of exposures at single points in a room are still within acceptable limits of error (e.g., 10%). In this article, three studies of the mixing of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) pollutants are reviewed, and data from several other ETS field studies are presented. Under typical conditions for both short sources (e.g., 10 min) and the continuous sources of ETS in smoking lounges, I find that average exposure concentrations for a single point in a room represent the average exposure across all points in the room within 10% for averaging times ranging from 12 to 80 min. I present a method for determining theoretical estimates of acceptable averaging times for a continuous point source.

AN - 21250986; 11704972 AB - The knowledge of specific problems of occupational cancer in Spain is scarce. The environment of the workplace has improved over the last few years after a long period distinguished by bad working conditions, incomplete legislation, and insufficient safety measures and control. It has been estimated that 3,083,479 workers (25.4% of employees) were exposed to carcinogens. The most common occupational exposures to carcinogenic agents were solar radiation, environmental tobacco smoke, silica, and wood dust. The highest number of employees were exposed to silica crystalline (404,729), diesel engine exhaust (274,321), rubber products (99,804), benzene (89,932), ethylene dibromide (81,336), agents used in furniture and cabinet making (72,068), and formaldehyde (71,189). The percentage of total cancer deaths attributed to occupational exposure was 4% (6% in men, 0.9% in women). Compared with other European countries, the incidence of lung cancer and leukemia in Spain are one of the lowest, but it is rapidly increasing. The incidence of urinary bladder and larynx cancer, on the contrary, are one of the highest. Few studies on occupational cancer have been conducted in Spain. The main problems are the availability of death certificates and the quality of the information on occupation in mortality of statistics. It is necessary to improve methods of assessment of exposures using expert hygienists and biologic markers of exposure and diseases. Reduction of cancer by limiting or avoiding exposure to known occupational carcinogens is still necessary.

Bio-acidification produced a highly acidic and digestive environment which, accompanied by shifting microbial populations, accelerated the mineralisation of organic nitrogen and the leaching of phosphorus and heavy metals. The bio-acidification process was capable of leaching significant quantities (7-98%) of Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, and Cu from sludge, however nitrogen and phosphorus were also leached simultaneously. It should be emphasised however that bio-acidification by itself did not reduce the TKN, total phosphorus, or heavy metal contents of the sludge. The separation of supernatant containing the leached products resulted in a significant loss in the nutrient value of the sludge. The measured organic nitrogen mineralisation results were in the range of 10-43%. Similarly for phosphorus, the leaching results were in the range of 16-65%. The phosphorus leaching results in individual sludge samples were significantly higher than the nitrogen leaching results. This is because the digestion of organic matter is the main cause of TKN mineralisation, while in addition, phosphorus leaching is possibly increased by the leaching of phosphorus from inorganic sources and polyphosphates stored in sludge. This study confirmed that while bioacidification can be used to reduce the heavy metal contents in sludge, the process can also reduce the nitrogen and phosphorus values of the product.

The resurgence of V. cholerae O139 during 1995 after its transient displacement by a new clone of El Tor vibrios demonstrated rapid changes in the epidemiology of cholera in Bangladesh. A recent outbreak of cholera in two north-central districts of Bangladesh caused by V. cholerae O139 led us to analyze strains collected from the outbreak and compare them with V. cholerae O139 strains isolated from other regions of Bangladesh and neighboring India to investigate their origins. Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in genes for conserved rRNA (ribotype) revealed that the recently isolated V. cholerae O139 strains belonged to a new ribotype which was distinct from previously described ribotypes of toxigenic V. cholerae O139. All strains carried the genes for toxin-coregulated pili (tcpA and tcpI) and accessory colonization factor (acfB), the regulatory gene toxR, and multiple copies of the lysogenic phage genome encoding cholera toxin (CTX Phi ) and belonged to a previously described ctxA genotype. Comparative analysis of the rfb gene cluster by PCR revealed the absence of a large region of the O1-specific rfb operon downstream of the rfaD gene and the presence of an O139-specific genomic region in all O139 strains. Southern hybridization analysis of the O139-specific genomic region also produced identical restriction patterns in strains belonging to the new ribotype and those of previously described ribotypes. These results suggested that the new ribotype of Bengal vibrios possibly originated from an existing strain of V. cholerae O139 by genetic changes in the rRNA operons. In contrast to previously isolated O139 strains which mostly had resistance to trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and streptomycin encoded by a transposon (SXT element), 68.6% of the toxigenic strains analyzed in the present study, including all strains belonging to the new ribotype, were susceptible to these antibiotics. Molecular analysis of the SXT element revealed possible deletion of a 3.6-kb region of the SXT element in strains which were susceptible to the antibiotics. Thus, V. cholerae O139 strains in Bangladesh are also undergoing considerable reassortments in genetic elements encoding antimicrobial resistance.

Personal inhalable and respirable dust sampling was carried out. The lung function tests of workers were conducted before and after a workshift. The mean percentage cross-shift decrease in lung function was markedly high for woodworkers compared with the controls. Dose-response relationships among personal exposures and percentage cross-shift decrease in lung function and percentage predicted lung function were more pronounced among joinery workers compared with sawmill and chip mill workers. Woodworkers had markedly high prevalence of regular cough, phlegm, and chronic bronchitis compared with controls. Significant associations were found between percentage cross-shift decrease in FVC and regular phlegm and blocked nose among sawmill and chip mill workers. Both joinery workers and sawmill and chip mill workers showed significant relationships between percentage predicted lung function (FVC, FEV sub(1), FEV sub(1)/FVC, FEF sub(25-75%)) and respiratory symptoms. Wood dust and biohazards associated with wood dust are potential health hazards and should be controlled.

The effective removal cross sections for the foregoing individual shielding materials as well as their combinations are obtained from transmission data using two-group neutron fluxes defined by a Cd-cutoff value. The experimental transmission factors for I-M concrete and polyboron are compared with those obtained from transport calculations performed with the ANISN deterministic code in the forward mode and the MCNP4B Monte Carlo code. The ANISN code is used for the fast neutron group flux (Cd-cutoff flux), and the MCNP4B code is used for the total neutron flux. The agreement between the experiment and calculation is fairly good at deep penetration, but at initial points, some disagreement is observed. This observation is valid for both polyboron and I-M concrete.

Although these potentially cleavable junctions are ubiquitous, they are often protected from deoxyribozyme activity by RNA secondary structure. We have developed a multiplex cleavage assay for screening the entire length of a target RNA molecule for deoxyribozyme cleavage sites that are efficient, both in terms of kinetics and accessibility. This strategy allowed us to simultaneously compare the RNA cleaving activity of 80 deoxyribozymes for a model target gene (HPV16 E6), and an additional 60 deoxyribozymes against the rat c-myc target. The human papilloma virus (HPV) target was used primarily to characterize the multiplex system and determine its validity. The c-myc target, coupled with a smooth muscle cell proliferation assay, allowed us to assess the relationship between in vitro cleavage efficiency and c-myc gene suppression in cell culture. The multiplex reaction approach streamlines the process of revealing effective deoxyribozymes in a functional assay and provides accessibility data that may also be applicable to site selection for other hybridization-based agents.

For gel fermentations fungal growth decreased as rotational speed increased, presumably due to increased shear. For wheat bran fermentations fungal growth improved under agitated compared to static culture conditions, due to superior heat and mass transfer. We conclude that the effects of operational variables on the performance of SSF bioreactors are mediated by their effects on transport phenomena such as mixing, shear, heat transfer, and mass transfer within the substrate bed. In addition, the substrate characteristics affect the need for and the rates of these transport processes. Different transport phenomena may be rate limiting with different substrates. This work improves understanding of the effects of bioreactor operation on SSF performance.

Urine Hg levels were also determined. Results showed that the high-exposure group committed significantly more errors on the computerized handeye fine motor coordination test than the low-exposure group, but no significant differences between the groups were noted on any other measures of neurobehavioral performance or psychological distress. Only the correlation between urine Hg concentration and errors on handeye coordination was significant. Significant levels of psychological stress were found, however, with 84% of the subjects reporting a clinically diagnostic level of distress.

The excurrent ducts of animals treated neonatally with octylphenol, bisphenol A, and parabens were also examined at concentrations approaching their maximum solubility in oil. Testis weights were compared between control and cohorts at 18, 25, 35, and 75 d of age. Results showed that treatment with diethylstilbestrol caused dose-dependent changes in testis weight, which were most pronounced on days 18 and 25. Similar changes were observed in animals exposed to ethinyl estradiol and tamoxifen, but differences in dose responses compared to diethylstilbestrol were observed. The weakly estrogenic compounds caused minor but significant decreases in epithelial cell height of the efferent ducts at days 18 and 25, but these changes were not observed at day 35. The data suggested that the impairment of excurrent ducts by neonatal estrogen exposure was probably due to direct, rather than indirect, effects.

Results showed that vitellogenin levels in the males increased with increasing OP exposure concentration, but levels declined after mating in clean water. The control males and females produced approximately twice as many eggs as the OP-exposed males and unexposed females. Logic regression analysis revealed that increasing OP concentrations were correlated significantly negatively with the percent of eggs fertilized by exposed males. In the embryos of all treatment groups, increasing occurrence of developmental anomalies was detected. In males exposed to OP concentrations greater than 41 ppb, an increase in primary and secondary spermatogonia was observed compared to controls.

None of the middle-aged and elderly men had occupational Pb exposures. Results showed that patella Pb was significantly higher than tibia Pb. Erythrocyte Pb exhibited the strongest correlation with urine Pb, followed by the creatinine clearance rate, patella Pb, and tibia Pb. Body weight was negatively correlated with patella and tibia Pb, and positively correlated with creatinine clearance rate and urine Pb.

AN - 14514918; 10570572 AB - Maps depicting the extent of forest spraying of the insecticide, Matacil 1.8D, were obtained from the Canadian Wildlife Service, and information on Atlantic salmon Salmo salar were obtained from the Canadian Atlantic Fisheries Scientific Advisory Committee. The overlap of the information was then used to assess the possible impacts of pesticide exposure on fish stocks. Results are presented specifically for the Restigouche River basin and for the region as a whole. A significant negative correlation was found between the returns of salmon and the proportion of tributaries sprayed within the basin in 1977. For the larger region, a significant proportion of the lowest salmon catches also coincided with Matacil 1.8D spraying. Relationships between fish catches and fenitrothion or Matacil 1.8F were not observed, which suggested that the causal agent was 4-nonylphenol, which is a known xenoestrogen in Matacil 1.8D.

Between 1989 and 1996, 18 such storms were identified, which were then correlated with mortality data. Results showed that the average PM sub(10) level on exposure days was 221 mu /m super(3) higher than on control days, whereas carbon monoxide levels were much lower during the exposure periods. The mean daily death count was slightly lower on the exposure days than on the control days, which was also found when the day following the storm was included in the analysis. If coarse particles were equally as toxic as combustion particles, a 20% increase in daily mortality would have been expected.

The results were compared to those obtained using scanning electron microscopy of ashing residue. Results showed that fibers of all three types were deposited in small airways and alveolar septa. Long amosite asbestos fibers frequently penetrated into alveolar septa as far as the interstitium. Both arithmetic and geometric mean lengths of the man-made vitreous fibers in aerosol were typically longer than those of retained fibers, whereas amosite fibers of all lengths were equally likely to reach parenchyma. The man-made fibers appeared to be affected by both lung filtration and fiber degradation, whereas amosite was not. With only two exceptions, fiber burdens estimated by ashing and scanning electron microscopy were greater than those estimated by in situ confocal laser scanning microscopy.

The aim of the framework is to identify the key plausible links and interactions that may influence the potential effect of climate change on diseases, with climate change conceived as manifesting itself in each of three interrelated modules: changes in transmission biology, ecologic changes, and sociologic changes. A literature review is presented of selected studies that either directly or indirectly have addressed climate-change impacts on infectious diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, cholera, and other disease vectors, as well as the ecologic and social factors influencing diseases and methods of adaptation and control.

Specific sex differences in constitutive steroid biotransformations were identified, and the role of androgens in the regulation of these activities was determined. The activity that would serve best as a biomarker of exposure was then assessed, and the biomarker was validated using organisms exposed to xenobiotics that either act as androgen antagonists or modulate endogenous androgen levels. Results showed that the testosterone 6 alpha /15 alpha -OH ratio could serve as a sensitive biomarker of androgen disruption in the mouse model. In contrast to the variability reported in serum testosterone concentrations in control mice, variation of the ratio ranged 1.631%. The ratio not only detected effects of a chemical on endogenous androgen levels, but also responded to antiandrogenicity of a chemical. However, the ratio could not be applied universally to all species.

The cohort was assembled from historical ward membership records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Community drinking-water As concentrations were determined from historical records of As measurements maintained by the state of Utah dating back to 1964. Arsenic exposure was categorized as low, medium, and high over a 20-yr period. Results showed that deaths from hypertensive heart disease and nephritis and nephrosis were significantly elevated in the cohort males compared to Utah as a whole, while deaths from arteriosclerosis and benign neoplasms were increased in the cohort, but not statistically so. Similar results were found for females. Among males, prostate cancer was increased significantly in the cohort, and death due to kidney cancer was elevated in the medium- and high-exposure groups. No cancer causes of death for females were elevated significantly in the cohort.

Several lines of evidence suggest that methane gas seeping from unstable methane hydrates supports a newly discovered microbial community, which is unusual both in its genetic relationships and in its metabolism. The concept of microbial diversity has been transformed by the growth in sequence data from ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA). The cloning and sequencing of RNA from microbes living in their natural environments has revealed a genetic diversity beyond the dreams of researchers whose tools were limited to microscopy and cell culturing. RNA molecular probes have revealed previously unknown evolutionary lineages, as well as associations between the genetic structure of communities and their ecophysiology. As Hinrichs and co-workers have shown, 16S rRNA cloned from shallow sediment samples above unstable methane hydrate deposits in the Eel River basin, offshore California, is dominated by a variety of previously unknown genes from archaea, which along with bacteria and eukaryotes comprise the three domains of life on Earth. These were accompanied by sequences from known anaerobes, including sulphate-reducing and Gram-positive bacteria. There were two main types of archaea discovered in the seep sediments, with some clones closely related to known methanogens (anaerobic methane-producing bacteria) of the order Methanosarcinales. Most sequences, however, were from a new and closely similar group that was distinct from, but related to, the methanogenic orders Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales. Besides being distinguishable from known methanogens, these new organisms also had sequences unlike any cloned from contemporary freshwater and marine environments.

Asteroids were exposed to dilutions of water-accommodated fractions (WAF) of Bass Strait stabilised crude oil (control, 2%, 10%). Effects of exposure (4 d) and depuration (20 d) were quantified using circular statistical analyses. Observations suggested that disruption of behaviour might be concentration-dependent. Control asteroids successfully located mussels during tests. A small proportion (3 of 16) of asteroids exposed to 2% WAF also located the mussels, while asteroids exposed to 10% WAF did not. Following depuration, exposed asteroids recovered their chemoreception capacities. It is concluded that (1) Coscinasterias muricata is able to locate prey mussels through chemoreception, (2) exposure to oil disrupts its foraging behaviour, and (3) the effect is reversible.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62486706; ED428780 AB - This report presents two approaches to measuring inflation for public libraries: (1) an approach based on a fixed-market-basket (FMB) of the prices of library inputs, which yields a public library input cost index (PLICI), and (2) an approach based on an econometric model of library services and costs, which yields a public library cost of services index (PLCSI). The PLICI represents essentially a weighted average of the series of public library input prices, while the PLCSI places emphasis on the cost of producing library services. Contains the following chapters: Chapter 1 "Introduction"; Chapter 2 "Conceptual Framework" which describes the PLICI and the PLCSI approaches in some detail. Chapter 3 "Empirical Analysis of a Public Library Input Cost Index" offers an empirical analysis of the PLICI, including an analysis of budget shares and input cost series. Chapter 4 "Empirical Analysis of Public Library Operating Expenditures and Development of the Public Library Cost of Services Index" presents the PLCSI. Chapter 5 "Concluding Remarks" concludes the report by comparing the inflation index derived from the PLCSI with that from the PLICI and suggests ways of improving the public library indexes. Thirty-two tables and indexes present statistics. A glossary is provided. Appendices include technical notes, various descriptive statistics and parameter estimates for the variables used in the regression analysis, and standard errors. (AEF) AU - Chambers, Jay C.

Holistic and Mechanics Scores in 1984 and 1996. AN - 62476538; ED430246 AB - Supplementary to "NAEP 1996 Trends in Academic Progress," this report describes two aspects of writing for which change has been measured since 1984: writing fluency as determined by holistic scoring; and mastery of the conventions of written English as determined by mechanics scoring. The introduction discusses the layout and means of evaluation: measuring fluency of writing, mechanics of writing, and expressing the differences in performance. Chapter 1 compares holistic scores in 1984 and 1996 regarding student writing fluency in informative, persuasive, and narrative writing. Chapter 2 compares mechanics scores in 1984 and 1996 to look at overall characteristics of the papers, use of sentence types, control of sentence structure, and control of word-level and punctuation conventions. A summary includes discussion of fluency in writing, grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and observations made from the research. Appendixes present an overview of scoring procedures, scoring guides, and tables with standard errors.

The first '(1+ abundance data)' assumes that the N sub(4)/P sub(4) and BEB estimates are absolute indices of 1+ abundance whereas the other '(0+ abundance data)' assumes that these estimates are absolute indices of 0+ abundance (i.e. calves are assumed to be counted during the surveys at Point Barrow). The data included in the likelihood function are the percentages of calves and mature animals from 1985-92 and the abundance indices.

The species was introduced to this subantarctic island by sealers during the 19th century. The rats are now widespread and abundant in coastal areas all around the island. The distribution of rat populations is divided into discrete units by the availability of suitable habitat which, in turn, is a consequence of the rugged topography, particularly on the west coast. Rats are found from almost sea level to 200-250 m a.s.1. and up to 1 km inland. They have adapted successfully to the rigorous climate and firmly occupy a habitat niche in an environment where food is plentiful, predators are few and interspecific competition minimal. The principal habitat, tall Poa foliosa tussock grassland, provides year-round shelter and food. Rats dig burrows in the peaty stools of the tussock plants and construct nesting chambers at the base of the dense leaf canopy. Predictably, this provides a warmer and more stable thermal environment than that experienced outside under the tussock canopy where the runs are located. Tussock grasslands are spreading under the influence of management control measures directed at the introduced European rabbit and possibly global warming. Management programmes are also directed towards the eradication of feral cats. In response, rat populations may be expected to expand in numbers and to occupy new territories. Without control this may, in the long term, have serious consequences for the island's avifauna, particularly the smaller, burrow-nesting species.

Death from drowning of children can be expected to be a problem in Bangladesh give the geographical features of the country. Objective The objectives of this study are to determine the trend, pattern and correlates of drowning deaths. Methods Data are presented on deaths of children (1-4 years) due to drowning derived from a longitudinal, population-based surveillance system in operation in a rural area of Bangladesh in 1983-1995. Moreover, a case-control study was carried out to identify the risk factors associated with drowning. Results Deaths due to drowning ranged from about 10% to 25% of child deaths during 1983-1995. The absolute risk of dying from drowning remained almost the same over the study period but the proportion of drownings to all causes of death has increased. Drowning is especially prevalent in the second year of life. Age of the mother and parity have a significant impact on drowning. The risk of dying from drowning increases with the age of mother and much more sharply with the number of living children in the family. Two socioeconomic variables did not have an influence on the risk of drowning. Conclusions A substantial proportion of child deaths could be averted if parents and other close relatives paid more attention to the safety of children. The Child Health Programme of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh should develop health education programmes for villagers alerting them to the dangers of drowning and measures to prevent it.

Current ice concentration algorithms perform poorly in regions of predominantly thin or highly fragmented ice, which constitute a significant proportion of the pack in East Antarctica. The impact of the sea ice cover on high latitude air-sea interactions and marine ecology depends not only on ice extent and concentration but also on the ice-type composition of the pack. An unsupervised ice classification scheme, using data from four channels of the SSM/I, is presented and tested as a means of gaining important additional, complementary information on surface type. Class interpretation is by comparison with AVHRR, ERS-1 SAR, and near-coincident digital aerial photography and in situ data. The classification does a reasonable job at consistently differentiating the large-scale constituent regimes, including the outer marginal ice zone, the interior pack, and a transition zone separating the two. Given the short period of data analyzed, the cluster maps appear to be generally coherent and consistent through time as the pack changes in response to synoptic-scale atmospheric forcing, although the robustness of the technique needs further testing over longer time periods. An observed crossover in the meridional brightness temperature profiles is a dominant and consistent feature which marks the transition from unconsolidated and wet ice in the marginal ice zone to more consolidated ice with a thicker and drier snow cover in the interior pack. Ambiguities occur at the boundaries of some of these regimes due to sensor resolution limitations and the mixing of different ice types and open water. Also, some ice classes (like brash ice) cannot be distinguished from forming pancake ice. Furthermore, although the signature of the inner pack is usually distinct from that of the outer pack, we observed one extraordinary swell propagation event which led to ice fracturing and surface wetting, and significantly altered the surface classification. The results of this multiparameter study underline the importance of using multisensor systems synergistically to improve interpretation of passive microwave data and better characterize the complex Antarctic pack.

G. vaginalis lysates were found to significantly stimulate HIV expression in monocytoid cells. Stimulation was significantly higher when lysates were heated at 100 degree C for 5 min but was reduced by treatment with lysozyme or protease. G. vaginalis lysates also activated HIV expression in certain T cell lines. G. vaginalis lysates activated HIV long-terminal repeat transcription in HIV-infected cells and increased NF- Kappa B binding activity, indicating an effect by G. vaginalis on HIV transcription. The activation of HIV production by G. vaginalis suggests that genital tract infection with G. vaginalis increases the risk of HIV transmission by increasing HIV expression in the genital tract. This may explain, at least in part, the increased rate of HIV transmission in women with BV.

The Tasmanian Infant Health Survey was a prospective cohort study undertaken from 1988 to 1995. It involved 9,826 infants (89% of eligible infants) at higher risk of SIDS. Subsequently 53 eligible infants died of SIDS. Hospital interviews were available on 51 and home interviews on 35 SIDS infants. Urinary cotinine assays were conducted using gas-liquid chromatography (n = 100). Within a predictive model that explained 63% of urinary cotinine variance, the strongest predictor of cotinine and also of SIDS was maternal smoking, though the effects of prenatal and postnatal smoking could not be separated. However, for particular smoking-related behaviors, there was a discordance between prediction of cotinine concentration and prediction of risk of SIDS. If smoking mothers did not smoke in the room with the baby, the cotinine level in the infant's urine was reduced by a little more than a half (p = 0.009), but this was not associated with a reduction in SIDS risk (odds ratio = 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.47-2.55). Similarly, the presence of other adult resident smokers was associated with a 63% increase in urinary cotinine (p = 0.047) but not with increased SIDS risk (odds ratio = 0.69, 95% confidence interval 0.34-1.40). However, the study lacked the power to detect modest effects, that is, those altering risk less than twofold.

The motivation for this stems from a desire to increase the Australian plantation estate, in part for commercial forestry and in part as a net sink of CO sub(2), and as a possible tool to lower the water table in regions prone to salinity. Thus, the plan to increase the plantation estate is driven by ecological concerns. PROMOD, a simple model for predicting plantation productivity following canopy closure, was used to examine the economics of growing Eucalyptus globulus under irrigation at Deniliquin, a site with mean annual rainfall 385 mm and mean total pan evaporation 1765 mm. It was assumed that nutrients were not limiting. Productivity increases with the total annual irrigation I (Ml ha super(-1) year super(-1)) and attains a maximum at some I determined by frequency of application. Maximum productivity (42 m super(3) ha super(-1) year super(-1)) requires I greater than or equal to 12 Ml ha super(-1) year super(-1) as weekly applications in amounts proportional to the current pan evaporation. Profitability was defined as the annual increase in wood value due to volume growth less irrigation costs, and was used to rank irrigation strategies. In general, profitability has a well-defined maximum and depends on frequency of application. Maximum profitability ($640 ha super(-1) year super(-1)) requires I approximately 12 Ml ha super(-1) year super(-1) as weekly applications in proportion to pan evaporation. Reduction of I or of frequency of application results in a major loss of productivity and profitability. Output from PROMOD was used as the basis for a more detailed discounted cash-flow analysis of a sawlog regime which confirms the better economics of high total-irrigation, high irrigation-frequency options. Available soil water capacity does not affect the total annual irrigation required for maximum profitability, but shallow soils do require more frequent, smaller applications of water. Reducing irrigation efficiency (which takes into account losses inherent in the irrigation method) from 1 to 0.5, doubles the total irrigation required for maximum profitability and reduces profitability by 70%. The results of this study have major implications. Serious consideration should be given to frequent irrigation of plantations in dry regions. The establishment and analysis of irrigated trials in regions of high VPD will have important benefits in understanding tree growth under such conditions and will provide data for validation of models under the extreme conditions that prevail in regions which might be economically exploited in the future.

DTPA was measured using ion-interaction reversed-phase liquid chromatography at 0 h (t sub(0)) and 24 h (t sub(24)). DTPA consistently eluted at approximately 3.3 min. Actual DTPA concentrations corresponded well with nominal concentrations, justifying the use of nominal concentrations for previous ecotoxicological bioassays. There was no significant degradation of DTPA either when uncomplexed or ferric-complexed, over 24 h (P > 0.05). In addition, there was no difference in DTPA and Fe(III)-DTPA degradation between MS synthetic medium and WLW (P > 0.05). Therefore, the previously reported decrease in DTPA toxicity, when complexed with iron was concluded not to be due to enhanced DTPA degradation. However, the presence of what appeared to be a degradation product in all Fe(III)-DTPA samples after 24 h, indicated that DTPA might be more susceptible to degradation when complexed with iron, as reported by other researchers.

Beyond this fundamental goal, the practice of chlorination involves maintaining a disinfectant residual in the distribution system to minimise biofilm formation and as an additional safeguard against pathogen intrusion. In contrast to many European countries the disinfectant residuals typically maintained in the distribution system are relatively high. The primary factors that are driving high disinfectant residuals include regulation, and using chlorine as a primary disinfectant rather than other advanced treatment systems. Lower disinfectant residuals are likely in the future with changes in regulations, installation of advanced treatment processes, and improvements in the distribution system.

The deduced amino acid sequences revealed that ChiA, ChiB and ChiC exhibited similarities to chitinases belonging to family 18 of the glycosyl hydrolases while ChiP and ChiQ belonged to family 20. ChiP and ChiQ showed different enzymic activities against fluorescent chitin analogues, but neither was able to degrade colloidal chitin. ChiA possessed chitinase activity but did not bind chitin; ChiB bound chitin but had no chitinase activity; ChiC possessed strong chitinase activity and also bound chitin. Production of ChiC in S91 appeared to be controlled by chiA expression, since insertion of a transposon into the ORF of chiA resulted in the loss of chitinase activity as well as loss of ChiC proteins in a chitinase-negative mutant. In Escherichia coli, ChiC appeared to be expressed from its own promoter. The GenBank accession numbers for the sequences reported in this paper are AF007894 (chiA), AF007895 (chiB), AF007896 (chiC), AF072375 (chiP) and AF072374 (chiQ).

Of 829 employees, 89 (10.7%) tested positive, with those handling livestock being more likely to have been exposed to Q fever than employees in low-risk occupations. This difference reached statistical significance (P < 0.01) when employees with other risk factors for exposure to Q fever were excluded. Veterinarians, stock inspectors, and regulatory officers had the highest risk of previous exposure. This study confirms that Q fever is a disease related to occupations that involve handling livestock, and it provides a basis upon which to promote vaccination of agricultural workers.

Seedlings from provenances from the middle of the altitudinal ranges of all species were capable of survival for 18 months on sites dominated by the other two species. However, 9 years after planting E. ovata had died out in open vegetation on all sites. In contrast, E. rodwayi had survived in open vegetation on all sites and was the sole or major survivor in the two lower altitude areas. E. gunnii had performed marginally better than E. rodwayi in the open vegetation at the highest altitude site, had survived in the E. rodwayi site and had died out in the E. ovata site. The results of field trials, and experiments in the glasshouse and laboratory, suggested that E. ovata is absent from open vegetation at the higher altitudes because of its susceptibility to frost, that E. rodwayi dominates the middle altitudes because of its superior frost resistance, that E. gunnii dominates the highest altitudes because of superior growth rates to E. rodwayi in misty and cool conditions, and that E. ovata is dominant at low altitudes because of its superior growth rates in warm conditions. Recent climatic changes are posited to have had some effect on the results of the field experiment.

Using allozyme markers, we examined the genetic diversity and structure of 16 fragmented populations. The species had high genetic variation compared to other plant species, and both polymorphism and allelic richness showed strong positive relationships with log reproductive population size, reflecting a loss of rare alleles (frequency of q < 0.1) in smaller populations. Fixation coefficients were positively related to size, due either to a lack of rare homozygotes in small populations or to Wahlund effects (owing to spatial genetic structure) in large ones. Neither gene diversity nor heterozygosity was related to population size, and other population parameters such as density, spatial contagion, and isolation had no apparent effect on genetic variation. Genetic divergence among populations was low (F sub(ST) = 0.17) and interpopulation gene flow was high (Nm = 2.8), despite a large north-to-south break in the species' current distribution. To preserve maximum genetic variation, conservation strategies should aim to maintain the five populations larger than 5000 reproductive plants, all of which occur in the north of the range, as well as the largest southern population of 626 plants at Truganina. Only one of these is currently under formal protection. High heterozygosity in smaller populations suggests that they are unlikely to be suffering from inbreeding depression and so are also valuable for conservation. Erosion of allelic richness at self-incompatibility loci, however, may limit the reproductive capacity of populations numbering less than 20 flowering plants.

We show that E. striolata, which does produce scat piles, and E. inornata, which does not, can both discriminate their own secretions, on paper substrates, from those of unfamiliar conspecifics. This was indicated by elevated tongue flick rates and more time in contact with the unfamiliar stimulus. This was not just a response to a novel stimulus because the secretions from another species (E. stokesii) elicited lower responses. When scats were presented, only striolata demonstrated discrimination between their own scats and those of unfamiliar conspecifics. This suggests that scats could be used to produce individual signals, perhaps indicating residence status, in scat-piling species. For striolata the signal from scats became less effective as the scats became older, suggesting the need to pile scats to renew the signal.

We investigated the involvement of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in a rabbit model of T cell-mediated pulmonary granulomatosis. Intravenous injection of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) into sensitized rabbits induced massive and diffuse pulmonary granulomas. Levels of MCP-1 in sera and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) peaked before the granuloma formation reached the peak (on days 1 and 3 after challenge, respectively). Chemotactic activities toward monocytes and T cells in BALF were inhibited by anti-MCP-1 IgG by 80 and 36%, respectively. The phenotypic analysis of the migrating T cells revealed that activated and memory T cells rather than naive cells were preferentially attracted to the BALF. Administration of anti-MCP-1 antiserum inhibited the development of granuloma formation in both size and number, the numbers of infiltrating leukocytes in BALF, the expression of adhesion molecules on peripheral monocytes/T cells, and on macrophages/T cells in BALF, and the production of TNF- alpha in the lung. Anti-MCP-1 resulted in a trend toward decreased level of IL-1 beta in the lung. The inhibition of the production of these cytokines appeared to be induced indirectly through the inhibition of the recruitment of macrophages that produce these cytokines. The results suggest important roles of MCP-1 in the development of granuloma formation in this model through the attraction and activation of specific types of cells.

Periodic monitoring of the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a high-risk population provides essential clues regarding the rapidly changing pattern of antimicrobial susceptibilities. A study concerning the prevalence of gonococcal infection among CSWs was conducted in Bangladesh. The isolates were examined with regards to their antimicrobial susceptibility to, and the MICs of, penicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, and spectinomycin by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. The total plasmid profile of the isolates was also analyzed. Of the 224 CSWs, 94 (42%) were culture positive for N. gonorrhoeae. There was a good correlation between the results of the disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. Some 66% of the isolates were resistant to penicillin, and 34% were moderately susceptible to penicillin. Among the resistant isolates, 23.4% were penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG). 60.6% of the isolates were resistant and 38.3% were moderately susceptible to tetracycline, 17.5% were tetracycline-resistant N. gonorrhoeae, 11.7% were resistant and 26.6% had reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, 2.1% were resistant and 11.7% had reduced susceptibility to cefuroxime, and 1% were resistant to ceftriaxone. All PPNG isolates contained a 3.2-MDa African type of plasmid, and a 24.2-MDa conjugative plasmid was present in 34.1% of the isolates. Since quinolones such as ciprofloxacin are recommended as the first line of therapy for gonorrhea, the emergence of significant resistance to ciprofloxacin will limit the usefulness of this drug for treatment of gonorrhea in Bangladesh.

Consequently, these bacteria have evolved a variety of often-redundant high-affinity acquisition systems to obtain iron in this restricted environment. We have identified an iron transport system that is encoded within the centisome 63 pathogenicity island of Salmonella typhimurium. The nucleotide composition of this locus is significantly different from that of the rest of this pathogenicity island, suggesting a different ancestry and a mosaic structure for this region of the S. typhimurium chromosome. This locus, designated sit, consists of four open reading frames which encode polypeptides with extensive homology to the yfe ABC iron transport system of Yersinia pestis, as well as other ABC transporters. The sitA gene encodes a putative periplasmic binding protein, sitB encodes an ATP-binding protein, and sitC and sitD encode two putative permeases (integral membrane proteins). This operon is capable of complementing the growth defect of the enterobactin-deficient Escherichia coli strain SAB11 in iron-restricted minimal medium. Transcription of the sit operon is repressed under iron-rich growth conditions in a fur-dependent manner. Introduction of a sitBCD deletion into wild-type S. typhimurium resulted in no apparent growth defect in either nutrient-rich or minimal medium and no measurable virulence phenotype. These results further support the existence of redundant iron uptake systems in S. enterica.

Sequence comparisons have shown that it is a member of family III of the solute binding proteins. It is 89% identical to the collagen binding protein, Cnb, from Lactobacillus reuteri. Compared with the database of Escherichia coli proteins, BspA is most similar to the L-cystine binding protein FliY. To investigate the function of BspA, mutants depleted for BspA were generated by homologous recombination with a temperature-sensitive plasmid. These mutants were significantly impaired in their abilities to take up L-cystine. Uptake rates of L-glutamine L-histidine, and L-lysine, which are substrates for other binding proteins with similarity to BspA, were unaffected. Evidence was obtained that BspA is necessary for maximal resistance to oxidative stress. Specifically, inactivation of BspA causes defective growth in the presence of oxygen and sensitivity to paraquat. Measurements of sulfhydryl levels showed that incubation of L. fermentum BR11 with L-cystine resulted in increased levels of sulfhydryl groups both inside and outside the cell; however this was not the case with a BspA mutant. The role of BspA as an extracellular matrix protein adhesin was also addressed. L. fermentum BR11 does not bind to immobilized type I collagen or laminin above background levels but does bind immobilized fibronectin. Inactivation of BspA did not significantly affect fibronectin binding; therefore, we have not found evidence to support the notion that BspA is an extracellular matrix protein binding adhesin. As BspA is most probably not a lipoprotein, this report provides evidence that gram-positive bacterial solute binding proteins do not necessarily have to be anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane to function in solute uptake.

Such behaviour suggests that these insects should exhibit population dynamics consistent with the latent classification proposed by Price et al. (1990). While this empirical hypothesis is intuitively appealing it does not appear to incorporate current population dynamics theory. Berryman's ecodynamics (1992) offers the potential to describe a species' population dynamics which is grounded in a quantitative theoretical framework. The population ecology of Amorbus species from Australia is considered in relation to these hypotheses.

Exposure at the Hanford site occurred after massive releases of iodine-131. At the Hanford site, 60 cases of juvenile hypothyroidism were found, with 54 females and six males. The onset of the disease was associated strongly with the years of reported maximum super(131)I releases, which occurred between 1944 and 1949. In the Chernobyl area, rates of hypothyroidism were appreciably higher in Zhitomir and Gomel, somewhat higher in Mogilev and Bryansk, and lowest in Kiev. The extensive data are tabulated.

Results showed that fulvic acid appeared to generate reactive oxygen radicals that may interfere directly with cell membranes and result in lipid peroxidation. In rats fed normal diets and water coming from the impacted region, there was an increase in lipid peroxidation in blood and liver. The data suggested that fulvic acid could be incorporated into bone and cartilage of rats, which is the target tissue of Kashin-Beck disease, where selenium concentration is low.

All sampling sites were located in residential neighborhoods within 2500 m of metal smelters or a metal refinery. Results showed that, in all three cities, heavy-metal levels exceeded maximum allowable levels determined by EPA. In Terreon and Chihuahua, levels of contamination for all three metals were related inversely to distance from the industrial sites. Contamination appeared to be significantly higher for all metals around the active smelter than around the inactive smelter and the metal refinery.

The experimental protocol is detailed. Results showed that, of the four groups of compounds evaluated, only hydroxylated PCBs bound to human thyroid receptor, with affinities ranging 3090 mu M. These compounds exhibited 1000-fold greater affinities for transthyretin than for thyroid receptor, making them competitors for the natural ligand, thyroxine. These findings suggest that disruption of thyroid hormone transport may be one of the mechanisms by which organochlorine compounds alter thyroid homeostasis. Few of the compounds competed for thyroid-binding globulin.

The bioassay protocol is described. The chemicals examined included bisphenol A, octylphenol, di-n-butyl phthalate, o,p'-DDT, and methoxychlor. Results showed that progesterone-induced maturation of X. laevis oocytes was not sensitive to estrogens, but was potently inhibited by methoxychlor. The data suggested that methoxychlor targeted events occurring in the first 2 h after exposure to progesterone, as no maturational signaling initiated in the first 2 h of incubation was blocked by subsequent exposure to methoxychlor.

The most promising field of research involves genetic engineering to produce a variety of substances, such as industrial chemicals, drugs, and ingredients used in consumer products. Promising research fronts in this area are described at the University of Kentucky, North Carolina State University, the University of Central Florida, and at CropTech Development Corporation. Besides actual new product development, other considerations are also being addressed, including production costs of tobacco compared to other crops and efforts to secure additional research funding.

Using data from the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Monitoring Systems, worldwide trends in these defects were examined. For hypospadias, an upward trend was discerned beginning in 1970 in the US, Scandinavia, and Japan, but significant inter-country variation in rates was observed. Rates tended to level off after 1985. There was no indication of a generalized increase in cryptorchidism rates over time.

Results showed a median daily intake of 7.4 mu g Pb/kg/d for the study group, which was relatively low. For the pregnant migrants, there was no significant difference in the mean Pb-206/Pb-204 ratio in blood and diet over the entire period of pregnancy and six months postpartum. However, during the postpartum period, the mean ratio for blood was significantly higher than that for diet. For the nonpregnant migrant controls, there was no significant difference in super(206)Pb/ super(204)Pb ratio over time for blood and diet. Similar results were found for the pregnant Australian subjects. These changes over time during and after pregnancy could not be explained by dietary Pb, which was consistent with earlier findings that the skeleton was the major contributor to blood Pb during pregnancy and postpartum.

Invertebrates form a central component of these ecosystems. We conducted a stratified survey of 69 sites on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island and used logistic regression models to describe the distribution of 14 abundant invertebrate species. We also developed a statistical model of windspeed based on topography. The distributions of individual species were described by different combinations of aspect, altitude and vegetation type. Ordination of sites based on species composition showed strong effects of altitude and vegetation on invertebrate assemblages. The species distribution models provide a tool for detecting, monitoring and predicting effects of climate change and alien species on biota and ecosystem processes.

United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, First Session. AN - 62398566; ED441930 AB - The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions met to consider the largest program within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title I, Helping Disadvantaged Children Meet High Standards. At this hearing, how Title I funds are spent, who they serve, and whether student performance is improving were topics discussed. After introductory remarks by Senators James M. Jeffords (Vermont), Christopher J. Dodd (Connecticut), Patty Murray (Washington), and Susan M. Collins (Maine), a panel of experts testified about the funding and impact of Title I. Wayne Riddle of the Congressional Research Service gave an overview of Title I. David Baroudi, Vermont's Title I director, discussed the important role of Title I and the need to integrate it with other education programs. Lula Ford, the Title I director for the Chicago, Illinois, schools discussed the way Title I related to overall reform efforts. William Taylor of the Citizen's Commission on Civil Rights suggested needed changes for the upcoming reauthorization of Title I. The final witness, Terry Bergeson, chief state school officer of Washington, presented her perspective on Title 1 and its relationship to other state and federal education programs. Prepared statements of these witnesses follow their testimony.

Population A had a very high overall level of chlamydial infection (85%) with significantly more of these infections being due to C. pecorum (73%) compared to C. pneumoniae (24%). The second population had a much lower prevalence of infection (10%) with equal levels of both species. An important finding of this study was that, while five of 24 C. pecorum-infected koalas had clinical signs of the disease (both ocular and urogenital sites), none out of seven C. pneumoniae-infected koalas had signs of clinical disease. This suggests that C. pecorum may be the more pathogenic of the two chlamydial species infecting this host. The level of infection (assessed by intensity of the specific hybridisation signal) also differed between chlamydial species, with C. pecorum infections ranging from low to high grade whereas C. pneumoniae infections were always low grade. When the age of infected koalas was examined, 58% of young, sexually immature koalas were found to have C. pecorum infections, increasing to 100% of koalas in the older age groups. This suggests that, in this population at least, young koalas are readily infected with C. pecorum from their mothers. While the infection levels with C. pneumoniae were too low to be statistically significant, again, sexually immature koalas were found to be infected. The recent separation of chlamydial infections in koalas into two species is beginning to indicate different epizootiologies for koala C. pecorum compared to koala C. pneumoniae..

Overexpression in plants alters the composition of phospholipids. AN - 69607170; 10066765 AB - We describe the cloning of a wheat cDNA (TaPSS1) that encodes a phosphatidylserine synthase (PSS) and provides the first strong evidence for the existence of this enzyme in a higher eukaryotic cell. The cDNA was isolated on its ability to confer increased resistance to aluminum toxicity when expressed in yeast. The sequence of the predicted protein encoded by TaPSS1 shows homology to PSS from both yeast and bacteria but is distinct from the animal PSS enzymes that catalyze base-exchange reactions. In wheat, Southern blot analysis identified the presence of a small family of genes that cross-hybridized to TaPSS1, and Northern blots showed that aluminum induced TaPSS1 expression in root apices. Expression of TaPSS1 complemented the yeast cho1 mutant that lacks PSS activity and altered the phospholipid composition of wild type yeast, with the most marked effect being increased abundance of phosphatidylserine (PS). Arabidopsis thaliana leaves overexpressing TaPSS1 showed a marked enhancement in PSS activity, which was associated with increased biosynthesis of PS at the expense of both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. Unlike mammalian cells where PS accumulation is tightly regulated even when the capacity for PS biosynthesis is increased, plant cells accumulated large amounts of PS when TaPSS1 was overexpressed. High levels of TaPSS1 expression in Arabidopsis and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) led to the appearance of necrotic lesions on leaves, which may have resulted from the excessive accumulation of PS. The cloning of TaPSS1 now provides evidence that the yeast pathway for PS synthesis exists in some plant tissues and provides a tool for understanding the pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis and their regulation in plants.

A series of large-scale (300 m super(2)) rainfall simulator experiments on disturbed forest hillslopes, incorporating both snig track (skid trail) and general harvesting areas (GHA), examined runoff generation and redistribution during three sequential simulated storms on 13 sites. The simulated storms represented 30-min rainfall events with recurrence intervals of 2, 10, and 100 y respectively. The 13 sites were selected to represent dominant soil types and ages since disturbance. The snig tracks and GHA are characterised by significantly different soil hydraulic and vegetation properties as reflected in the nature and magnitude of runoff production. Infiltration-excess runoff dominated the snig track areas, while on recently disturbed GHA, runoff was distinctly patchy because of the high degree of spatial variability in saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sub(s)) and degrees of disturbance. Surface runoff from recently constructed snig tracks was an order of magnitude higher than the neighbouring GHA. Relative differences in runoff production between the two areas declined during extreme rainfall events. Infiltration tests also indicated that a change in the processes and rates of runoff persists for at least 5 y after disturbance. The practice of redistributing concentrated snig track runoff at cross banks was most effective for small storms. However, during more extreme events, the volume of snig track runoff increased and flow velocities and transport distances increased as the hillslope became increasingly saturated. The varying ability of the GHA to generate runoff and absorb concentrated flow from the snig track is likely to be critical in predicting both the initial hydrologic response and the recovery of a small catchment from forest disturbance.

Although some children recover some of these abilities, many children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome have significant language impairments that persist. Multiple subpial transection is a surgical technique that has been proposed as an appropriate treatment for Landau-Kleffner syndrome in that it is designed to eliminate the capacity of cortical tissue to generate seizures or subclinical epileptiform activity, while preserving the cortical functions subserved by that tissue. Reported here are the speech & language outcomes of children (N = 14) who underwent multiple subpial transection for treatment of Landau-Kleffner syndrome. Eleven children demonstrated significant postoperative improvement on measures of receptive or expressive vocabulary. Results indicate that early diagnosis & treatment optimize outcome & that gains in language function are most likely to be seen years, rather than months, after surgery. Since an appropriate control group was not available & the best predictor of postoperative improvements in language function was that of length of time since surgery, these data might best be used as a benchmark against other Landau-Kleffner syndrome outcome studies. 3 Tables, 21 References.

AN - 759313546; 13662589 AB - This paper is a reflection on the workshop Agriculture as a Mimic of Natural Systems. It analyses what is essential for protecting agricultural land from degradation, including enabling features of the social context. It looks at how natural systems maintain a stable landscape, and explores ways in which pertinent features of natural systems can be copied in agriculture to help solve particular problems of land degradation, such as: erosion; hydrologic instability and the often associated secondary salinity; and chemical imbalances, such as those leading to excessive acidity. The conservative practices that many farmers have recently adopted are in several respects based on attributes of natural systems, but the mosaic nature of land is one important aspect that has not yet strongly influenced practices, which are often too strongly tied to cadastral boundaries.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62494234; ED431051 AB - This report, 10th in a series, presents data for 1997 on high school dropout rates, and examines high school completion and graduation rates. The report is based on the best and most current national data available, using data from the Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census. Data show that about 5 out of every 100 young adults enrolled in high school in 1996 left school before October of 1997 without successfully completing a high school program. This estimate (the "event" dropout rate) of 4.6% was similar to those reported over the last 10 years, but lower than that of the early 1970s. Hispanic students were more likely than white and black students to leave school short of completing a high school program. In 1997, 9.5% of Hispanics were event dropouts, compared with 3.6% of Whites and 5.0% of Blacks. Young adults from families with incomes in the lowest 20% of all family incomes were nearly seven times as likely to dropout as were their peers in the top 20% of income distribution. Status dropout rates represent the proportion of young adults aged 16 to 24 years who are out of school and have not earned a high school credential. In October 1997, 11% of the young adults in the United States were in this situation. Hispanic young adults have higher status dropout rates than either Whites or Blacks. In addition, data show that, in 1997, about 86% of all 18-through 24-year-olds not enrolled in school had completed high school or an equivalent credential.

AN - 62489616; ED428134 AB - This report contributes to the comprehensive evaluation of the Common Core of Data (CCD) program by providing an analysis of CCD definitions in order to identify potential classification problems. At the time of the evaluation, the CCD program consisted of four surveys. The focus of this evaluation is on the "Public Elementary/Secondary Education Agency Survey." The evaluation process was initiated by researching state statutes and administrative codes to determine the powers, governance, and services provided by agencies in each state. A detailed analysis of CCD definitions reveals that these definitions are generally inadequate. Many are neither exhaustive nor inclusive. The inadequacy and misinterpretation of these definitions leads to unreliable and invalid data. CCD definitions often do not draw a clear distinction between school and agency surveys. The definitions should be revised to be flexible and exhaustive, with clear documentation and explanation provided for instances in which individual arrangements in states differ from conventional approaches. All education surveys that use CCD definitions as their sampling frame should be coordinated. Changes are especially needed in the areas of enrollment and geographic coding. (Contains two tables.)

AN - 62484066; ED428451 AB - This volume reports on the Case Study Project, an initiative that evaluates the experiences of math and science teachers across the United States and includes levels of schooling and achievement levels. The report focuses on typical public schools in the United States at three levels: elementary, junior high, and senior high with the intent of creating a composite profile of typical schools. The volume is divided into five chapters: "Rationale for the Study,""The Development and Implementation of Education Standards in the United States,""Individual Differences and the United States Education System,""The Role of School in United States Adolescents' Lives," and "Teachers and the Teaching Profession in the United States." Results show that the typical school had adopted curriculum standards or guidelines proposed by state departments of education, rather than by a national body. One exception to this was the influential set of national guidelines developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Despite the general interest in standards, the choices made by parents, teachers, and students reflected many values, of which the desire for independence was one of the strongest. Students who were surveyed exhibited high optimism, especially those students from middle- class families.

Lagoon evolution and phosphorus dynamics AN - 20710227; 4626667 AB - Anthropogenic changes detected in the sediment of a shallow ( similar to 1.6 m) billabong (Horseshoe Lagoon) are the result of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) connection in 1958 and catchment urbanization around 1974. Nutrient-rich water caused the collapse of macrophyte populations, algal blooms became common, and urbanization increased sediment deposition ( similar to 1 cm year super(-1)). Changes in P retention were investigated by using dated cores, pore-water element profiles, and water quality records. The lagoon is the last of three STP holding ponds. Ponds 1 and 2 were sand-mining pits; they receive no sediment input and have negligible P adsorption. The Fe:P ratios in sediments from three Australian rivers have a common slope and this relationship was used to examine Fe:P ratios in the anoxic bottom sediments of the lagoon. A potential for effluent P adsorption developed in the lagoon through Fe mobilization and enrichment in the upper sediments and a strong clay-Fe-P association. The mean long-term P adsorption in the lagoon (35 plus or minus 18%) was the result of maintaining clay input to an oxic waterbody.

Two types of voyages were undertaken: five World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) cruises along longitude 140 degree E; and two Antarctic and Heard Island exploratory fishing / re-supply voyages between Hobart, Heard Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory. Observations were carried out to describe the distribution of seabirds, including penguins, at sea. In this paper penguin distribution has been described, along with an analysis of environmental variables associated with the sightings, and an attempt was made to use these variables to predict penguin distribution. Ten species were observed: Emperor Aptenodytes forsteri, King A. patagonicus, Adelie Pygoscelis adeliae, Gentoo P. papua, Macaroni Eudyptes chrysolophus, Royal E. schlegeli, Rockhopper E. chrysocome, Snares Crested E. robustus, Fiordland Crested E. pachyrhychus and Little Eudyptula minor Penguins. The sightings of Snares Crested and Fiordland Crested Penguins were unique in the sector covered. Juvenile and adult Emperor, Adelie and Macaroni Penguins were found in different sectors of the Southern Ocean. Latitude, longitude, depth of water, salinity, sea surface temperature, ice cover and icebergs were recorded. Cluster analysis was used to predict penguin distribution, and compiled three groups. A discriminant function analysis revealed only moderate success in the allocation of species to these groups. This probably arose because: 1. the environmental variables measured were not good indicators of penguin distributions at sea; 2. the sightings of penguins were probably not always at foraging grounds, and penguins may have been en route to foraging zones when observed; 3. the patterns of penguin distribution are not predictable at the scale of analysis because they respond opportunistically to regions around their breeding sites; 4. penguins are not congregating at specific areas.

AN - 17466545; 4674845 AB - Fogg and Walsby's (1971) hypothesis that buoyancy regulation in cyanobacteria might be an adaptation to exploit the separation of light and nutrients has since become a paradigm. The evidence of its veracity is examined within observations of algal abundance and chlorophyll distributions in several Australian freshwater systems and is also reviewed from the literature. It is clear from both laboratory experiments and field measurements that filamentous genera such as Anabaena and colony-forming genera such as Microcystis are capable of changing their buoyancy within a diurnal cycle. However, evidence for population migration to exploit separation of light and nutrient availability is tenuous, with most field observations of the vertical distribution of phytoplankton populations showing no evidence of vertical migration to sufficient depth to reach nutrients in stratified systems. Instead, changes in the vertical distribution of phytoplankton suggest a response either to the dynamics of the surface mixed layer or to lateral advection. In natural systems, algal buoyancy appears to be dependent much more on light than on nutrients, this being consistent with the carbohydrate ballast mechanism. Physical mechanisms can provide sufficient replenishment of epilimnetic nutrients to explain the observed net growth rates of phytoplankton populations in situ.

Three to seven of the most prominent, congeneric shrub species in each of five communities were monitored following a total of six fires, and numbers of individuals prefire were compared with those over two to four winters postfire. The proportion of individuals in each species only sometimes reflected the proportion at an earlier time. At least one species differed from the rest for twenty-six of a total of twenty-seven demographic steps assessed. Initial seedlings/parent, which was largely a function of seeds available, and, to a lesser extent, level of germination, were the most important attributes in accounting for the recruitment patterns. There was a trend for the faster growing, drought avoiding species to increase at the expense of the others. In the most comprehensive study, life form (four nonsprouting Hakea spp. v. four resprouting Hakea spp.) was the best predictor of the recovery pattern. This was through its association with seed availability and level of germination and, to a lesser extent, drought survival (all higher for nonsprouters). Leaf type, as an indicator of drought tolerance, had inconsistent predictive power between studies. The least summer stressed species, in terms of survival and water relations, tended to have the largest seedlings derived from the largest seeds, but there were notable exceptions. Within each life form category, species behaviour varied widely, making most predictions of postfire community dynamics based on relative prefire numbers little more than conjectural. However, in only one of the three studies were the trends sufficiently clear to show that postfire densities would never mirror those prefire.

In central Port Phillip Bay, there was a rapidly mixed surface layer and two layers of different mixing rates at 2-20 cm and 21-45 cm depths. When the sediment profiles of excess super(210)Pb and super(228)Th were combined and diffusive mixing was assumed, the sediment accumulation rate in the 2-20 cm layer was constrained to be <0.15 cm year super(-1). The mixing coefficient in the 2-20 cm layer was 5.0 plus or minus 0.1 cm super(2) year super(-1). Hence, mixing rather than sedimentation governs the distribution of super(210)Pb and super(228)Th in the surficial 20 cm. Below 20 cm, the different mixing regime may be due to the dominance of deposit-feeders at these depths. Evidence for bioturbation to a depth of 50 cm was obtained from profiles of excess super(210)Pb and super(228)Ra deficiency. The mean residence time of particles in the central bay water column was 10 plus or minus 2 days (a normalized depositional particle flux of 0.16 plus or minus 0.02 g cm super(-2) year super(-1)). This flux is three times the upper estimate of the sediment accumulation rate, indicating that most of the suspended particulate matter in the water column is resuspended bottom sediment.

The integrated fluxes of biogenic N sub(2), ammonia, nitrate and nitrite showed that the stoichiometric relationship between organic C and N in the muddy sediments, occupying about 70% of the seafloor, was 5.7, this being similar to the Redfield ratio of 6.6. High denitrifying efficiencies (75-85%; denitrification rates similar to 1.3 mmol N sub(2) m super(-2) day super(-1)) at organic carbon loadings of similar to 15-25 mmol m super(-2) day super(-1) indicate that most N processed through the sediments was returned to the overlying waters as biologically (generally) unavailable N sub(2). At sites of high organic carbon loadings to the sediments (>100 mmol m super(-2) day super(-1)) denitrification rates and denitrifying efficiencies were near zero and most N is returned to the Bay waters as biologically available ammonium. In chambers 'spiked' with super(15)NO sub(3), denitrifyers used nitrate produced in the sediments in situ, rather than the exogenous nitrate in overlying waters. The sedimentary microbial processes of ammonification, nitrification and denitrification are therefore tightly coupled.

Model coupling was achieved via a particle tracking method, giving great flexibility in both geometry and time step for the transport model. This technique allowed ecological (water quality) modules to be included efficiently, so that long-term management scenarios could be adequately addressed. Validation of the hydrodynamic model was done primarily against observed sea-level and current meter data. For the transport model, comparisons were made with data on salinity in the bay observed over five years. Despite some disagreement between the hydrodynamic model and observations of longer-term (non-tidal) currents, the transport model provided good simulations of salinity throughout the bay. Transport-model flushing time for the bay was about 270 days (similar to estimates obtained from salinity and radionuclide measurements), varying with model geometry and with position inside the bay. As well as providing physical forcing for ecological simulations (described elsewhere in this issue), the models identified a systematic bias in the known freshwater budget for the bay.

Water samples were also collected to identify possible sources of faecal contamination. Bay sediments had total fatty acid concentrations between 4 and 183 mu g g super(-1) (dry weight) and total sterol concentrations between 0.6 and 39.2 mu g g super(-1). Creek sediments contained more sterols, ranging from 22.8-148 mu g g super(-1). These lipid distributions suggest that the bulk of the labile organic matter derives from marine microalgae, primarily diatoms. Coprostanol (5 beta -cholestan-3 beta -ol), a sterol often used as an indicator of faecal contamination, was also present. Concentrations ranged from <0.01-0.55 mu g g super(-1) in surface sediments, with values over 0.25 mu g g super(-1) and 5 beta -/5 alpha -C sub(27) stanol ratios greater than 0.4, indicative of sewage inputs. A clearer picture of distributions of sewage-derived organic matter was obtained when coprostanol was normalized to total organic matter rather than sediment dry weight. Areas showing higher coprostanol concentrations included those adjacent to the main sewage treatment plant and several low-volume drains and creeks, indicating localized problems of sewage contamination.

The developed model is able to reproduce effectively and simultaneously for all considered time scales the observed hysteresis in the relationship between chemical concentration in stream water and river discharge. Three types of catchment have been examined for long-term modelling: a local urban streamwater catchment, a transition urban-agricultural catchment and a large catchment with varied land use (urban, agricultural and protected forested areas). The long-period changes in model parameters and in water-quality variables are determined for each catchment.

The model simulates the cycling of N, P and Si in the water-column, epibenthos and sediments, and is driven by a physical transport model. The integrated model is forced by exchanges with Bass Strait and by nutrient inputs from the Western Treatment Plant, rivers, and the atmosphere. The model has been calibrated and tested by using data from process studies, flux measurements and spatial surveys at a range of scales. It provides a picture of nitrogen cycling through the water and sediments on bay-wide annual scales, which emphasizes the role of denitrification. It also reproduces well the observed spatial and temporal variation under varying nutrient load regimes, and provides insights into the factors controlling regional phytoplankton blooms, including the interaction of nitrogen and silica in the western bay. The model is used to investigate the bay's responses to changed nutrient loads, changes in sediment biogeochemistry, and marine pest invasion. The bay's assimilative capacity for nitrogen is largely controlled by its sediment denitrification capacity. If nitrogen loads approach the limits of this capacity, a rapid onset of eutrophication is predicted.

Such stages are seen as a potential mechanism for population persistence following environmental adversity. Laboratory incubation experiments were conducted on estuarine sediments. As a result, dormant eggs in Australian estuarine-endemic copepods are reported for the first time. Nauplii of the dominant estuarine-endemic calanoids Gippslandia estuarina and Sulcanus conflictus commonly hatched from the sediments. Manipulation of the salinity and temperature of experimental media indicated that temperature was the more important hatching trigger for S. conflictus, and that both high salinity and high temperature were important for G. estuarina. Results of the incubation experiments, including those of 'conversion' experiments (i.e. from freshwater to saline conditions or low temperature to high temperature), help to elucidate the type of dormancy characteristic of each species; it appears that S. conflictus may have diapause eggs and G. estuarina may have quiescent eggs, although this is yet to be confirmed. Other estuarine fauna developed from the mud during the incubation experiments, most notably the harpacticoids Onychocamptus chathamensis, an ectinosomatid and Schizopera sp., and the medusa Australomedusa baylii. Ecological and evolutionary consequences of dormancy in these estuarine-endemic zooplankton are briefly discussed.

In order to determine their composition and formation, these laminae were studied using a combination of X- ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectrometry. Results indicated that the laminae were composed of clay originating from the adjacent Gordon River estuary. The clay was also found as part of the general sediment matrix of the core. The evidence indicates that the laminae are formed during incursions of brackish water from the adjacent Gordon River estuary into Lake Fidler which cause the flocculation of clay minerals in the water column. These clay minerals then sink rapidly to the sediments to form laminae. Although the formation of these laminae pre-dates meromixis, their mode of formation corroborates the theory that meromixis is maintained ectogenically by periodic inflows of brackish water replenishing monimolimnetic salts.

In this work, we observed cellular localization of the SeqA-Gfp fusion in living cells. SeqA-Gfp was localized to a discrete focus or foci in wild-type and seqA null mutant cells, but the fusion was dispersed in the whole cell in dam null mutant cells lacking Dam methyltransferase. These results were consistent with the previous description of the localization of SeqA by immunofluorescence microscopy. Time-lapse experiments revealed that duplicated SeqA-Gfp foci migrated rapidly in opposite directions. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the fusion restored synchronous replication of chromosomal DNA from multiple origins in seqA null mutant cells, indicating that SeqA-Gfp is biologically active. Immunoprecipitation of the fusion from cell extracts using anti-Gfp antibody indicated that the fusion was assembled with the wild-type SeqA protein.

The model incorporates a simple growth function determined by the availabilities of silica and light, and by temperature. It also includes losses due to sinking and downstream advection. The model is tested against weekly measurements for the period 1981-1990, at three sites separated by 1100 km. The seasonal cycle of Aulacoseira concentrations along the river is well represented by the model. During times of high flow, the concentrations of Aulacoseira remain fairly uniform along the river as the diatoms have insufficient time to grow before being advected downstream.

This case-control study was, therefore, carried out to find out the associations between several social and environmental variables and deaths of children due to infectious diseases such as those leading to diarrhoea, acute respiratory infection, measles and other diseases. Six hundred and twenty-five deaths (cases) and an equal number of matched living children (controls) aged 1-59 months, were studied in rural Matlab. An analysis of crude and adjusted odds ratio showed differential associations. Sources of drinking water, amount of stored water, conditions of latrines, number of persons sleeping with the child and the type of cooking site were statistically significantly associated with deaths due to infectious diseases after controlling for breast feeding, immunization, and the family size. Significant associations were also observed between: (i) the sources of drinking water and deaths due to ARI, and (ii) conditions of latrines and deaths due to diarrhoeal diseases, after controlling for the confounding variables. Several other environmental factors also showed associations with these various death groups, but they were not statistically significant. The size of the samples in death groups (small) and the prevalence of more or less homogeneous environmental health conditions probably diminished the magnitude of the effects. The results of the study reconfirm the importance of environmental health intervention in child survival, irrespective of breast-feeding, immunization, and selected social variables.

Aeromonas caviae was the most prevalent species, accounting for 32% (129/405) of all isolates. Eighty-three per cent of children with Aeromonas-associated diarrhoea were younger than 3 years. The majority of the children had acute onset of vomiting and watery diarrhoea resulting in mild to moderate dehydration. Fever, non-watery diarrhoea, age less than 3 years, and diarrhoea of 7-14 days duration were found to be significantly associated with Aeromonas diarrhoea compared with Vibrio cholerae O1 infection after adjusting for confounders. Aeromonas-associated diarrhoea was most common from March to May (during the peak of the hot and humid season), and September to October, similar to Vibrio cholerae O1. Our results indicate that Aeromonas infection is common in young children presenting with diarrhoea in Bangladesh.

In 1966/1967 Gould (1980) studied operational aspects of hunting-gathering in desert regions of northwestern Australia and recorded sufficient quantitative and species-specific data to allow definition of the diet over 5 months. By 1966, many Aboriginal people in that region had been displaced from their hunting grounds and were living in camps on cattle stations or in missions. Aboriginal diet on cattle stations in the north-west was studied in 1951 (Commonwealth Department of Health) and shown to consist chiefly of fresh meat, wheaten flour, and sugar with small amounts of vegetables and dairy products. With the granting of citizenship in 1967, most Aborigines were dismissed from cattle stations and were moved first to town camps and later formed remote Aboriginal communities. Studies in the 1980s showed that the self-selected diet in such communities reflected the station diet to a greater extent than the traditional diet. Quantitative presentation of the above three diets, in terms both of foods and of major nutrients, show that many of the dietary inadequacies of the station diet identified in 1951 still persisted in self-selected Aboriginal diets in the 1980s. A comparison of the three diets with a modern recommended diet supports the nutritional adequacy of the hunter-gatherer diet. Traditional cultural values assigned to food preferences continued to influence food choices in all three diets.

The paper highlights the potential of data loggers to gain insights into the foraging distribution and behaviour of seabirds. Archival tags recording light and temperature were placed on non-breeding Wandering Albatrosses Diomedea exulans from South Georgia and the Crozet Islands. Estimates of position for a Wandering Albatross from the Crozet Islands indicated an extensive journey from southern Africa across the Indian Ocean to south-eastern Australia and east of New Zealand. A Wandering Albatross from South Georgia apparently moved east across the Atlantic Ocean, while another moved west to longitudes approximating the Patagonian Shelf. These areas correspond to previously known movement patterns to areas of high activity by Southern Ocean longline fishing fleets. Albatrosses are an important by-catch of these fisheries, and knowledge of the spatial and temporal distributions of these threatened species will assist assessments of interactions and risk.

Vibrio cholerae O139 strains possess a thin capsule and have been found to be partially serum resistant in a previous study. In the present study, compared to a standard capsulated Klebsiella pneumoniae strain, which showed total resistance to killing by phagocytosis, V. cholerae O139 strains were shown to be only partially resistant, with most strains showing <40% survival. These findings may explain the relative rarity of V. cholerae O139 bacteremia in cholera caused by this organism.

Results showed that average concentrations for PM sub(10), PM sub(2.5), ammonium, and nitrate were similar during the summer among sites and indoor source categories. This indicated a strong regional nature to the summer aerosol, such that an ambient regional sampling site would be a reasonable predictor of fine particle concentrations measured outside homes. During the winter, PM sub(10) and PM sub(2.5) levels were higher in homes with kerosene heaters, while sulfate concentrations outdoors were higher than in homes without a kerosene heater and were lower than levels in homes with a kerosene heater. Unlike the summer data, most correlations were not significant for the winter data. However, use of a kerosene heater during the winter resulted in a substantial increase in indoor concentrations of PM sub(2.5), sulfate, and possibly H super(+). The extensive concentration data are tabulated.

Results showed that, for males, the urinary excretion of 8-OHdG was not related to any of the radiation variables. In females, however, both Rn and gamma -radiation exposures were related significantly to concentrations of urinary 8-OHdG. Multivariate analysis revealed that the role of gamma -radiation was more important than that of Rn.

The embryos were analyzed subsequently for organochlorine contaminant residues, plasma corticosterone concentrations, and intermediary metabolic enzyme activities. Results showed that the total PCB fraction accounted for more than 60% of the total residues, while the PCDD/F fraction accounted for less than 1%. Of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, p,p'-DDE accounted for more than 77% of the fraction. Significant negative correlations were observed when individual yolk sac PCDDs/PCDFs, total PCBs, non-ortho PCBs, and toxic equivalents were regressed against basal plasma corticosterone levels, but no such significant correlation was found for the chlorinated hydrocarbon concentrations. A significant negative correlation was found when individual yolk sac PCDD/PCDF concentrations were regressed against malic enzyme activities for the same individual, while a possibly significant correlation was found between individual yolk sac PCDD/PCDF concentrations and kidney cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity.

Results showed a significantly higher level of bulky carcinogenDNA adducts in the group classified as the high-exposure group, whereas the levels of PAHalbumin adduct and markers of oxidative stress in hemoglobin were significantly higher in the suburban/semirural group. Levels of malondialdehyde were significantly higher in bus drivers than in postal workers. A statistically significant correlation was observed between the content of total monocytes and the bulky carcinogenDNA adduct level. A negative association was observed between carcinogenDNA adduct level and the level of 2-amino-apidic semialdehyde in hemoglobin in the bus-driver groups.

No differences were found in the gonadosomatic index between sites. Females exhibited no difference in hepatosomatic index, but males from the contaminated site exhibited a larger hepatosomatic index than males from the reference site. Plasma concentrations of the steroid hormones, estradiol and testosterone, did not differ between sites for females, but males from the contaminated site had significantly lower circulating levels of testosterone than males from the reference site. No differences for either sex were found in terms of the presence of vitellogenin between sites.

At the end of the exposure, the anchorage-independent growth of the cells was examined by counting the number of colonies larger than 60 mu m. Results showed that exposure to the magnetic fields did not increase anchorage-independent proliferation of the cells. The cells displayed a dose-dependent response to increasing concentrations of TPA, but co-exposure to both TPA and the magnetic fields did not result in any differences in transformation frequency.

Synthetic data sets, which are detailed, were used. The results suggest that modeling bias will probably occur when regression models are used in an effort to identify the causes of a health outcome in an uncontrolled environment, which can lead to seriously erroneous conclusions. The results further suggest that models that use only one or two air-quality variables will most likely be unreliable.

One such pathway is the Sonic hedgehog pathway and its transcriptional mediator, GLI, which is critical to several developmental events in a wide range of organisms. Each component of this pathway is described, including the 150-dK GLI protein and its DNA binding sequences.

Results are presented from a study in which this cell line was used to evaluate the estrogenic potential of four synthetic pyrethoid compounds: sumithrin, fenvalerate, d-trans allethrin, and permethrin. The compounds were assayed for their ability to induce pS2 gene expression. Results showed that sumithrin was able to induce both pS2 gene expression and MCF-7 cell proliferation at nanomolar concentrations. Fenvalerate and d-trans allethrin were also able to disrupt estrogen function, whereas permethrin did not affect estrogen regulation.

Cancer-mortality data were summarized for 34 cancer sites by 5-yr age groups, and a 1990 state survey was used to glean detailed information on crop production, acreage, and pesticide use by county cluster. The identified 25 county clusters were combined into four regions based on specific crop production. Results showed that overall mortality from all cancers was decreased significantly in the three agricultural regions compared to the urban/forested region. However, increased age-standardized mortality-rate ratios were observed for lip, prostate, thyroid, and bone cancers in men living in specific agricultural regions. Increased age-standardized mortality-rate ratios were observed for nasopharynx, eye, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for women living in specific agricultural regions. Mortality from cancer of the trachea, bronchus, or lung was significantly decreased in the agricultural regions compared to the urban/forested region. Decreased mortality in men in the agricultural areas was also noted for cancer of the esophagus, large intestine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, kidney, and ureter, while decreased mortality in women living in the agricultural areas was noted for cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, breast, ovary, and fallopian tube.

It is believed that deep-rooted perennial plants in these areas are able to reduce recharge and use shallow groundwater, thus controlling groundwater levels. Lysimeters represent the best experimental technique for investigating capillary upflow from shallow water tables and the associated processes of salt accumulation, plant water use, and growth response. Techniques involving stable isotopes of water help determine the components of upflow due to vegetation. When combined with models that stimulate salt and water movement in the soil zone and the plant water use and growth, we can thoroughly test our understanding of salinity processes and the ability of plants to control water tables. Results from WAVES simulations of plant growth, evapotranspiration, groundwater uptake, salt accumulation, and the impacts on lucerne growth are compared against measurements made in lysimeters at Griffith, NSW, Australia. With minimal calibration, WAVES was able to reproduce both the daily and seasonal variation in evapotranspiration, upward flux from the groundwater table, plant growth in terms of leaf area development, soil water profiles, soil water salinity, and root water extraction patterns. There was a decline of 36% in transpiration, 42% in leaf area growth, and 67% in upward flux after the salinity of the water table increased from 0.1 to 16dS/m. Although the upward flux of water was large, lucerne used little of it (< 20%), preferring 'fresher' rainfall and irrigation water near the surface. Given the tests presented in this work, we think WAVES is applicable to irrigated agricultural systems.

AN - 69582643; 9927753 AB - Specific recognition of a region of duplex DNA by triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) provides an attractive strategy for genetic manipulation. Based on this, we have investigated the ability of the triplex-directed approach to induce mutations at a chromosomal locus in living cells. A mouse fibroblast cell line was constructed containing multiple chromosomal copies of the lambdasupFG1 vector carrying the supFG1 mutation-reporter gene. Cells were treated with specific (psoAG30) or control (psoSCR30) psoralen-conjugated TFOs in the presence and absence of UVA irradiation. The results demonstrated a 6- to 10-fold induction of supFG1 mutations in the psoAG30-treated cells as compared with psoSCR30-treated or untreated control cells. Interestingly, UVA irradiation had no effect onthe mutation frequencies induced by the psoralen-conjugated TFOs, suggesting a triplex-mediated but photoproduct-independent process of mutagenesis. Sequencing data were consistent with this finding since the expected T.A-->A.T transversions at the predicted psoralen crosslinking site were not detected. However, insertions and deletions were detected within the triplex binding site, indicating a TFO-specific induction of mutagenesis. This result demonstrates the ability of triplex-forming oligonucleotides to influence mutation frequencies at a specific site in a mammalian chromosome.

Hydrogeologic and geochemical theories for ore genesis are explored in this paper with mathematical models that allow for complex permeability fields in two or three dimensions, hydrothermal flows in fault systems, and coupled effects of geochemical reactions. The hydrogeologic framework of carbonate-hosted ores is analyzed with the aim of developing a quantitative understanding of the necessary and sufficient processes required to form large ore deposits. Numerical simulations of basin-scale hydrodynamics and of deposit-scale reactive flow are presented to demonstrate the processes controlling low-temperature Pb-Zn ore genesis in two world-class ore districts, in southeast Missouri, USA, and central Ireland. The numerical models presented here provide a theoretical basis for the following observations: (1) topography-driven brine migration was the most effective mechanism for forming the large ore districts of the Mississippi Valley, such as the Viburnum Trend of southeast Missouri, during the uplift of the Appalachian-Ouachita mountain belt in late Paleozoic time; (2) three-dimensional flow fields were created by a dolomite facies of the Viburnum Trend, which acted as a giant lens for focusing metal and heat in southeast Missouri to produce the largest known concentration of lead in the Earth's crust; (3) ore-mineralization patterns were controlled locally by basement relief, permeability structure, and sandstone pinchouts, because of their effects on cooling and fluid-flow rates along the Viburnum Trend; (4) both density-driven and topography-driven fluid flow were important for ore genesis in the Irish midlands, where brines moved northward away from the Variscan orogen, leaked into the Hercynian basement, and discharged along normal faults up into the sedimentary cover; and (5) mixed convection within northeast-southwest fault planes elevated heat flow and flow rates that fed ore deposition by fluid mixing, in some cases near the Carboniferous seafloor in Ireland.Original Abstract: Les depots de minerai de plomb-zinc dans les carbonates de la region de la vallee du Mississippi en Amerique du Nord et dans les comtes du centre de l'Irlande fournissent de bons exemples de lieux ou, a des epoques geologiques passees, les mouvements d'eau souterraine ont controle la formation de minerai en profondeur dans des bassins sedimentaires. Dans ce papier, les theories hydrogeologiques et geochimiques de la formation de minerais sont examinees au moyen de modeles mathematiques qui prennent en compte des champs de permeabilite complexes en deux et en trois dimensions, des ecoulements hydrothermaux dans des systemes de failles et les effets couples de reactions geochimiques. Le cadre hydrogeologique des minerais dans les formations carbonatees est analyse dans le but de proposer une comprehension quantitative des processus necessaires et suffisants requis pour former des depots de minerais importants. Des simulations numeriques de l'hydrodynamique a l'echelle du bassin et de l'ecoulement reactif a l'echelle du depot sont presentes afin de montrer les processus controlant la genese du minerai Pb-Zn a basse temperature dans deux districts miniers de reference mondiale, dans le sud-est du Missouri et en Irlande centrale. Les modeles numeriques presentes ici donnent une base theorique aux observations suivantes: 1) la migration de saumure pilotee par la topographie a ete le mecanisme le plus evident pour la mise en place des vastes gisements de la vallee du Mississipi, tels que le Viburnum Trend dans le sud-est du Missouri, au cours de la surrection de la chaine de l'Appalache-Ouachita au Paleozoieque terminal; 2) des champs d'ecoulements tridimensionnels ont ete crees par un facies dolomitique du Viburnum Trend, qui se comporte comme une lentille gigantesque concentrant le metal et la chaleur dans le sud-est du Missouri pour produire la plus vaste concentration connue de plomb dans la croute terrestre; 3) l'organisation des mineralisations metalliferes a ete localement controlee par le relief du substratum, la structure de la permeabilite et le biseautage des gres, a cause de leurs effets sur le refroidissement et sur les flux de fluide le long de Viburnum Trend; 4) les ecoulements de fluides commandes a la fois par la densite et par la topographie ont ete importants dans la genese du minerai dans les comtes du centre de l'Irlande, ou des saumures se sont ecoulees vers le nord a partir de la chaine varisque, ont penetre dans le substratum hercynien et se sont ecoulees le long de failles normales jusque dans la couverture sedimentaire; et 5) la convection de melanges dans des plans de failles NE-SW a eleve les flux thermique et hydrique qui ont alimente la formation de minerai par melange de fluides, dans certains cas a proximite du fond marin au Carbonifere en Irlande.

AN - 69599180; 10048027 AB - The suppressor mutation, named sfhC21, that allows Escherichia coli ftsH null mutant cells to survive was found to be an allele of fabZ encoding R-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydrase, involved in a key step of fatty acid biosynthesis, and appears to upregulate the dehydrase. The ftsH1(Ts) mutation increased the amount of lipopolysaccharide at 42 degrees C. This was accompanied by a dramatic increase in the amount of UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase [the IpxC (envA) gene product] involved in the committed step of lipid A biosynthesis. Pulse-chase experiments and in vitro assays with purified components showed that FtsH, the AAA-type membrane-bound metalloprotease, degrades the deacetylase. Genetic evidence also indicated that the FtsH protease activity for the deacetylase might be affected when acyl-ACP pools were altered. The biosynthesis of phospholipids and the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide, both of which derive their fatty acyl chains from the same R-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP pool, is regulated by FtsH.

Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. AN - 62490036; ED428123 AB - This report uses postsecondary transcript data for members of the High School and Beyond Sophomore Cohort (students who were sophomores in 1980) to examine progress toward the Bachelor's degree among high school graduates who expected at least a Bachelor's degree, first enrolled at a 4-year institution, and had completed at least 10 semester credits by September 1993. On average, this group, which accounted for 59% of 1980 high school sophomores who had attended a 4-year institution by September 1980, completed about 27 semester hours in their first year. Students enrolled in private, not-for-profit institutions were more likely to complete at least 30 credits. Students' academic preparation and test scores were related to the number of credits they completed in the first year, as was their academic performance in the first year. The number of years students took to cross certain credit thresholds can be used to infer the minimum number of years a student would need to complete a 120- credit Bachelor's degree. Three of four students in the analysis completed a Bachelor's degree, and completion of the degree was more likely for students with higher grade point averages. Other factors related to credit completion are identified. Three appendixes contain reference tables, a glossary, and technical notes and comments on methodology. (Contains 13 tables and 5 figures.)

AN - 21350699; 7718543 AB - Geographic modeling of individual exposures using air pollution modeling techniques can help in both the design of environmental epidemiologic studies and in the assignment of measures that delineate regions that receive the highest exposure in space and time. Geographic modeling can help in the interpretation of environmental sampling data associated with airborne concentration or deposition, and can act as a sophisticated interpolator for such data, allowing values to be assigned to locations between points where the data have actually been collected. Recent advances allow for quantification of the uncertainty in a geographic model and the resulting impact on estimates of association, variability, and study power. In this paper we present the terminology and methodology of geographic modeling, describe applications to date in the field of epidemiology, and evaluate the potential of this relatively new tool.

AN - 21260222; 11702192 AB - The disparity between the rates of breast cancer in industrialized and less-industrialized regions has led to many hypotheses, including the theory that exposure to light-at-night and/or electromagnetic fields (EMF) may suppress melatonin and that reduced melatonin may increase the risk of breast cancer. In this comprehensive review we consider strengths and weaknesses of more than 35 residential and occupational epidemiologic studies that investigated the association between EMF and breast cancer. Although most of the epidemiologic data do not provide strong support for an association between EMF and breast cancer, because of the limited statistical power as well as the possibility of misclassification and bias present in much of the existing data, it is not possible to rule out a relationship between EMF and breast cancer. We make several specific recommendations for future studies carefully designed to test the melatonin-breast cancer and EMF-breast cancer hypotheses. Future study designs should have sufficient statistical power to detect small to moderate associations; include comprehensive exposure assessments that estimate residential and occupational exposures, including shift work; focus on a relevant time period; control for known breast cancer risks; and pay careful attention to menopausal and estrogen receptor status.

Twenty chemicals were selected to represent direct-acting estrogens, compounds with estrogenic metabolites, estrogenic antagonists, and a known cytotoxic agent. Also included in the test panel were 17I2-estradiol as a positive control and ethanol as solvent control. The test compounds were coded before distribution. Test methods included direct binding to the estrogen receptor (ER), proliferation of MCF-7 cells, transient reporter gene expression in MCF-7 cells, reporter gene expression in yeast strains stably transfected with the human ER and an estrogen-responsive reporter gene, and vitellogenin production in juvenile rainbow trout. 17I2-Estradiol, 17I--ethynyl estradiol, and diethylstilbestrol induced a strong estrogenic response in all test systems. Colchicine caused cytotoxicity only. Bisphenol A induced an estrogenic response in all assays. The results obtained for the remaining test compoundsatamoxifen, ICI 182.780, testosterone, bisphenol A dimethacrylate, 4-n-octylphenol, 4-n-nonylphenol, nonylphenol dodecylethoxylate, butylbenzylphthalate, dibutylphthalate, methoxychlor, o,pa2-DDT, p,pa2-DDE, endosulfan, chlomequat chloride, and ethanolavaried among the assays. The results demonstrate that careful standardization is necessary to obtain a reasonable degree of reproducibility. Also, similar methods vary in their sensitivity to estrogenic compounds. Thus, short-term tests are useful for screening purposes, but the methods must be further validated by additional interlaboratory and interassay comparisons to document the reliability of the methods.

AN - 21259041; 11704971 AB - The ability of cells to maintain genomic integrity is vital for cell survival and proliferation. Lack of fidelity in DNA replication and maintenance can result in deleterious mutations leading to cell death or, in multicellular organisms, cancer. The purpose of this review is to discuss the known signal transduction pathways that regulate cell cycle progression and the mechanisms cells employ to insure DNA stability in the face of genotoxic stress. In particular, we focus on mammalian cell cycle checkpoint functions, their role in maintaining DNA stability during the cell cycle following exposure to genotoxic agents, and the gene products that act in checkpoint function signal transduction cascades. Key transitions in the cell cycle are regulated by the activities of various protein kinase complexes composed of cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) molecules. Surveillance control mechanisms that check to ensure proper completion of early events and cellular integrity before initiation of subsequent events in cell cycle progression are referred to as cell cycle checkpoints and can generate a transient delay that provides the cell more time to repair damage before progressing to the next phase of the cycle. A variety of cellular responses are elicited that function in checkpoint signaling to inhibit cyclin/Cdk activities. These responses include the p53-dependent and p53-independent induction of Cdk inhibitors and the p53-independent inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdk molecules themselves. Eliciting proper G1, S, and G2 checkpoint responses to double-strand DNA breaks requires the function of the Ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene product. Several human heritable cancer-prone syndromes known to alter DNA stability have been found to have defects in checkpoint surveillance pathways. Exposures to several common sources of genotoxic stress, including oxidative stress, ionizing radiation, UV radiation, and the genotoxic compound benzo[a]pyrene, elicit cell cycle checkpoint responses that show both similarities and differences in their molecular signaling.

AN - 21256954; 11703760 AB - In the adult nervous system, neurotransmitters mediate cellular communication within neuronal circuits. In developing tissues and primitive organisms, neurotransmitters subserve growth regulatory and morphogenetic functions. Accumulated evidence suggests that acetylcholine, (ACh), released from growing axons, regulates growth, differentiation, and plasticity of developing central nervous system neurons. In addition to intrinsic cholinergic neurons, the cerebral cortex and hippocampus receive extensive innervation from cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain, beginning prenatally and continuing throughout the period of active growth and synaptogenesis. Acute exposure to ethanol in early gestation (which prevents formation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons) or neonatal lesioning of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons, significantly compromises cortical development and produces persistent impairment of cognitive functions. Neonatal visual deprivation alters developmental expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in visual cortex, whereas local infusion of mAChR antagonists impairs plasticity of visual cortical neurons. These findings raise the possibility that exposure to environmental neurotoxins that affect cholinergic systems may seriously compromise brain development and have long-lasting morphologic, neurochemical, and functional consequences.

AN - 21251309; 11703758 AB - The divalent calcium cation Ca(2+) is used as a major signaling molecule during cell signal transduction to regulate energy output, cellular metabolism, and phenotype. The basis to the signaling role of Ca(2+) is an intricate network of cellular channels and transporters that allow a low resting concentration of Ca(2+) in the cytosol of the cell ([Ca(2+)]i) but that are also coupled to major dynamic and rapidly exchanging stores. This enables extracellular signals from hormones and growth factors to be transduced as [Ca(2+)]i spikes that are amplitude and frequency encoded. There is considerable evidence that a number of toxic environmental chemicals target these Ca(2+) signaling processes, alter them, and induce cell death by apoptosis. Two major pathways for apoptosis will be considered. The first one involves Ca(2+)-mediated expression of ligands that bind to and activate death receptors such as CD95 (Fas, APO-1). In the second pathway, Ca(2+) has a direct toxic effect and its primary targets include the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mitochondria may respond to an apoptotic Ca(2+) signal by the selective release of cytochrome c or through enhanced production of reactive oxygen species and opening of an inner mitochondrial membrane pore. Toxic agents such as the environmental pollutant tributyltin or the natural plant product thapsigargin, which deplete the ER Ca(2+) stores, will induce as a direct result of this effect the opening of plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels and an ER stress response. In contrast, under some conditions, Ca(2+) signals may be cytoprotective and antagonize the apoptotic machinery.

While it is known that significant genetic diversity occurs in the C. pecorum strains infecting koalas, very little is known about the C. pneumoniae strains that infect this host. In the current study, 10 isolates of koala C. pneumoniae were analysed at four gene loci and found to be different to both the human and horse C. pneumoniae strains at all loci (biovar differences ranging from 0.3% at groESL up to 9.0% at ompAVD4). All koala biovar isolates studied were found to be 100% identical at ompAVD4 (all 10 isolates) and at ompB (all three isolates) genes. This lack of allelic polymorphisms at ompAVD4 has now been observed for koala C. pneumoniae, human C. pneumoniae, guinea pig inclusion conjuctivitis C. psittaci and feline conjuctivitis C. psittaci and may be correlated to a lack of antibody response to the chlamydial major outer membrane protein (MOMP) in these same strain/host combinations. This study also provides the first documented case of natural C. pneumoniae infection causing a severe and extended respiratory episode in a captive koala population. This captive episode is in contrast to most free-range observations in which koala C. pneumoniae is rarely documented as causing respiratory, ocular or urogenital tract disease.

Since some studies have shown that irrigation with waste water can lead to contamination of groundwater resources, there is need for a model to predict the fate of irrigated water, salt, and nitrogen that can be applied to a variety of different soils, climates, and crops. We present the development of the water balance part of such a model, APSIM for Effluent, and carry out a comparison against data obtained from an effluent-irrigated plantation of Eucalyptus grandis. Over 10 months, modelled tree water use was within 1.5% of that obtained by sap-flux measurements. When compared over 5 years of the experiment, modelled drainage lay above that estimated by a water balance technique, which was known a priori to underestimate drainage, and was close to that estimated by the chloride mass balance technique. Simulated chloride accumulated in the soil was within the scatter of the observations, although it was consistently at the lower end of the range of the data. There was good agreement between the model predictions and measured chloride concentration distribution with depth in the soil. A considerable amount of water was lost as deep drainage, even for the treatment that aimed to add only enough effluent to replace that lost by evaporation. During 5 years, of the 3370 mm rainfall and 4480 mm effluent received by that treatment, 6710 mm was lost by the various evaporative routes, and 1080 mm was lost by deep drainage.

Seoul contains few major industrial sources of ambient-air pollution, whereas Ulsan is highly industrialized. Ambient-air concentrations were collected in each city and analyzed for concentrations of total suspended particulates, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and carbon monoxide. The death counts per day were matched to the daily averaged levels of total suspended particulates, SO sub(2), and the 1-h daily maximum level of O sub(3) on the same day. Results showed that the total suspended particulate and O sub(3) levels in Seoul were higher than those measured in Ulsan. The data revealed that each pollutant was associated highly with daily mortality, especially SO sub(2) and O sub(3). This association was found at pollution levels well below the national ambient-air-quality standards of many developed countries.

AN - 14512599; 10569336 AB - Chemicals that mimic estrogen and estradiol have demonstrated sex-reversal effects in turtle embryos similar to those shown by endogenous estrogens. Because the acceptable exposure considered to be safe is rarely tested, safety depends on the validity of the threshold assumption. Results are presented from a study in which the threshold hypothesis for estradiol was tested using red-eared slider turtles, and the resulting data were used to develop a biologically based doseresponse model. The resulting model indicated that no exogenous estradiol concentration was without risk, because endogenous estrogens were already at a sufficiently high concentration to exceed the threshold for sex reversal in this specie.

At both stations, pumps dispensed 95- and 99-research octane number (RON) gasoline, and 98-RON gasoline/diesel oil. The geometric mean concentrations of MTBE and TAME in the individual air samples were 3.9 and 2.3 mg/m super(3) at one station and 2.4 and 1.6 mg/m super(3) at the other, respectively. The highest means of C sub(6) alkyl methyl ethers were measured for 2-methyl-2-methoxypentane, at 0.32 and 0.22 mg/m super(3) at the two stations, respectively, while the mean concentrations of benzene were 1.0 and 0.77 mg/m super(3), respectively. The levels of both MTBE and TAME in the individual samples varied widely, from below detection limits to concentrations at least 1000 times higher. On average, a customer was exposed to an MTBE and a TAME concentration of 3.3 and 1.9 mg/m super(3), respectively, for 1 min.

A series of experiments was conducted in which breast-implant distillate containing hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (CS-D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane was administered to female mice, as well as CS-D4 alone, and histopathology was evaluated. Results showed that histopathology on tissues obtained from mice surviving to 14 d revealed lung, liver, and peritoneal changes. Lungs showed interstitial inflammation consisting of lymphocytes and neutrophils, edema, and thromboemboli in small to mid-size vessels, while in liver, individual hepatocyte necrosis, areas of regenerating hepatocytes, giant cells, clusters of proliferating oval or bile duct cells, Kupffer cell proliferation, and neutrophils predominantly around the central veins were observed. These effects were even more severe in mice treated with CS-D4 alone, along with dramatic increases in hydroxyl radical formation in the liver and lungs.

These compounds have been implicated in the process of temperature-dependent sex determination. In this study, various combinations of three natural estrogens-estrone, estradiol, and estriolere examined in terms of their synergy in sex reversal of turtle embryos incubated at a male-producing temperature. Results show that, for single hormone treatments, sex reversal occurred in a dose-dependent manner, with estrone and estradiol exhibiting one-tenth the potency of estriol. This was also observed in the various paired combinations, with sex reversal especially dramatic for combinations of estriol and estradiol. When all three hormones were administered, no synergy was observed.

In an effort to assess the possible relationship between El Nino and vectorborne disease transmission, monthly reports of dengue fever cases were obtained for 22 islands in the region and compared with climatological data. Positive correlations were found between the southern oscillation index, which is the normalized difference in atmospheric pressure between Darwin, Australia, and Tahiti, and dengue fever in 10 countries. When the southern oscillation index was positive, much of the Central Pacific tended to be both wetter and warmer than usual. Other factors were also found to be important, however, such as island ecology, population size and density, and movement in modulating dengue fever transmission.

Electrophilicity was defined as the ability of a chemical to induce mutations in Salmonella. A total of 767 chemicals were used to construct the submodels. Results showed that 28% of the 384 allergic contact dermatitis-inducing agents were predicted to be mutagens, while only 6% of the noninducing chemicals were predicted to be mutagens, which suggested that electrophilicity was associated with allergic contact dermatitis. The considerable overlap in the submodels, however, indicated that the induction of allergic contact dermatitis is not due solely to electrophilicity.

In New Jersey, 49 female subjects were studied to examine the relationship between drinking water concentrations of disinfection byproducts and two biomarkers: exhaled breath measurements of trihalomethanes after showering, and urinary dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid excretion rates. A questionnaire was used to obtain data on water use in each home. Results showed that approximately equal numbers of homes had total trihalomethane and haloacetic acid concentrations above and below 10 mu g/l. The urinary trichloroacetic acid excretion rate demonstrated a doseresponse relationship with exposure to disinfection byproducts during routine household use over a 48-h time period, but dichloroacetic acid did not. The water concentration did not have a statistically significant relationship with the excretion rate for either compound.

A micro-proton-induced X-ray emission technique was used to assess the uptake of Pb by the cells. Results show that, after 30 min of exposure to 500 mu M Pb, the majority of the Pb was localized at the cell surface, with binding to sulfhydryl groups involved. The transport of dl-DMSA across the cell monolayer was significantly greater than for meso-DMSA. dl-DMSA removed significantly more Pb from the cells than did meso-DMSA.

Results showed that most mink livers contained detectable concentrations of PCBs and DDTs, and several also contained dieldrin. Most otter livers contained detectable concentrations of PCBs, p,p'-DDE, and heptachlor epoxide. In both species, hepatic concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs were correlated in males but not in females. The highest concentrations of TCDD toxic equivalents were found in an otter pool from the lower Fraser River, followed by a pool from the lower Columbia River. Few significant relationships among biological parameters and organochlorine pesticide and PCB concentrations were found in mink, and none were found in otters. There were, however, significant correlations between male mink baculum size and hepatic PCB concentrations, and baculum mass and total pesticide concentrations.

Whereas this model can account for many properties of motion vision, from humans to insects (review, Borst and Egelhaaf 1989), it has been commonly assumed that this scheme of motion detection is not well suited to the measurement of image velocity. This is because the commonly used version of the model, which incorporates two unidirectional motion detectors with opposite preferred directions, produces a response which varies not only with the velocity of the image, but also with its spatial structure and contrast. On the other hand, information on image velocity can be crucial in various contexts, and a number of recent behavioural experiments suggest that insects do extract velocity for navigational purposes (review, Srinivasan et al. 1996). Here we show that other versions of the correlation model, which consists of a single unidirectional motion detector or incorporates two oppositely directed detectors with unequal sensitivities, produce responses which vary with image speed and display tuning curves that are substantially independent of the spatial structure of the image. This surprising feature suggests simple strategies of reducing ambiguities in the estimation of speed by using components of neural hardware that are already known to exist in the visual system.

There is both historical and contemporary interest in understanding the degree to which these systems capture the natural aesthetic resource. In Tasmania, pictorial content analysis was used to quantify the relative contributions of different natural landscape elements to the resource, using pictorial content analysis in three time periods. The relative weights of the elements differed little between the time periods. Scores for the resource within 10 km x 10 km grid squares were derived, based largely on these weights, and changes in reservation of the resource were quantified for 1937, 1970 and 1992. There was a marked increase in the absolute representation of the natural aesthetic resource through time, although mean scores for grid squares declined in toto and for all scenic elements except coasts. The techniques used could be valuable for both assessing and planning the expansion of reserve systems.

Spraying of C. lugubris and the C. bimaculata eggs supplied as food showed that neither Novodor registered FC with active nor inactive Btt caused any decrease in predatory performance, longevity or fecundity of C. lugubris during the period of their population peak (December). Towards the end of their peak population levels, in late January, there was a steady increase in mortality which was not related to either of the Novodor registered FC treatments. On average, male:female pairs of C. lugubris laid one egg batch and ate 30 C. bimaculata eggs a week whether untreated or sprayed with either Novodor registered FC. This Btt-based insecticide appears to be a suitable component of an integrated pest management (IPM) regime that aims to conserve natural predators.

This damage is thought to reduce plantation productivity by reducing seedling growth, reducing seedling survival and promoting the development of multiple leaders. We report a study which quantified the effects of browsing damage on Eucalyptus nitens seedling. Twelve months after planting, severity of browsing, net growth rate (daily change in height), survival and number of leading shoots was compared between fenced and unfenced seedlings at seven forestry plantations. Browsing damage significantly reduced net growth rate of unfenced seedlings at five plantations. The amount by which net growth was reduced was linearly related to a measure of browsing damage severity (r super(2)=0.907, df=6, p<0.01). Significant reduction in growth occurred where mean browsing score exceeded 0.88. Unfenced seedlings with intermediate levels of damage developed more leading shoots than fenced seedlings. Seedling survival was unaffected by browsing damage at 12 months. The findings of this study can be used by forestry managers to assign meaningful measures of loss in height growth to observed levels of browsing damage, and to specifically identify 'acceptable' levels of damage.

Once these inputs are encoded perceptually, they may of course be recoded linguistically. Any interactive processes across modalities may then be assumed to take place in at least two regions in the information stream, viz., at the sensory level,or at the cognitive level. The present proposal deals with the study of interactions between visual, auditory, and tactual signals; in particular, the interest of the present research is in a set of phenomena that can be called congruence effects. These are characterized as effects that occur when the subject is asked to identify a target stimulus in a particular modality when there is simultaneously presented an irrelevant stimulus in another modality. When the irrelevant stimulus agrees with, or matches in some dimension, or is congruent to the relevant one, research has shown that both identification time and accuracy improve in comparison with the condition in which the irrelevant stimulus is incongruent with the target. A simple example of the phenomenon can be cited: When subjects are asked to identify a high-pitched tone, they will do so more rapidly and accurately when it is accompanied by a visual stimulus that is high in visual space, compared with when accompanied by a spatially low visual stimulus. By the same token, a low-pitched tone will be more efficiently processed when accompanied by a spatially low visual stimulus than a high one. The principal investigator has already demonstrated the existence of the congruence effect in a number of studies, and now proposes to extend this area of research with a series of experiments that test whether the effect, either as interference with or as facilitation of processing, lies more in the realm of elementary sensory events or in later events involving linguistic recoding. It is his plan to examine the effects of reducing the possibility of interactions at what he calls the semantic level by, for example, taking advantage of the bilateral asymmetry of the auditory system for linguistic input. Because of the well-known advantage of the left ear over the right (in most subjects) for processing language, it should be possible to demonstrate whether congruence of visual events having semantic value with auditory ones will produce an improvement in processing. In addition, the principal investigator will repeat some of the proposed experiments on a separate group of subjects who report synesthetic experiences. These are persons who, for example, experience sounds not only auditorily but also visually, having vivid color experiences in addition to the auditory perceptions. Because these persons exhibit a rather fixed relation of the two modal perceptions, e.g., a specific hue is always perceived when a particular sound pattern occurs, the production of congruent and incongruent stimuli must be tailored to each subject's personal cross-modal pairs. Otherwise, congruence/incongruence effects will not be detected. Owing to the fact that the frequency of occurrence of synesthesia in the general population is rather low, the expectation is that only a few subjects will be found in the three-year period devoted to the grant. These and similar manipulations of the relations between the sensory dimensions and their semantic valences provides the basis for the testing of a small set of elementary quantitative models of the interaction process. The results of this work may very well prove of significant use in the development of sensory aids that use more than one modality for communication (e.g., visual-tactual or auditory-kinesthetic combinations), in addition to advancing our knowledge of the structural relations among cognitive events.

AN - 69561385; 9892418 AB - Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine with main angiogenetic functions in embryonic development and tumor-formation. In the adult lung, reports of the localization of VEGF were controversial. A precise cell typing of VEGF-positive pulmonary cells is still lacking. Nothing is known about a potential role in pulmonary fibrosis. Immunohistochemistry (IH), double immunofluorescence microscopy (DIF), and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) were used to study the differential distribution of VEGF in paraffin-embedded (IH, DIF) and in cryo-substituted, Lowicryl-embedded (IEM) specimens of normal rat and human lungs and fibrotic rat lungs. Fibrosis was induced by intratracheal bleomycin treatment. IH and DIF showed that VEGF was present in surfactant protein (SP) D-positive alveolar type II pneumocytes, bronchiolar Clara cells, smooth muscle (SM) cells, and alpha-SM actin-positive myofibroblasts of normal rat and human lungs. Fibrotic lesions in bleomycin-treated rat lungs were rich in VEGF-positive cells presenting with a heterogeneous phenotype (mainly SP-D-positive type II pneumocytes, alpha-SM actin-positive myofibroblasts). There were no signs of angiogenesis. Post-embedding immunogold labeling using protein A-gold and IgG-gold technique revealed a specific localization of VEGF to mitochondria, Clara cell secretory granules, and capillary interendothelial cell junctions. The predominant localization of VEGF to bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial and alpha-SM actin-positive cells, and the marked increase of VEGF-positive type II pneumocytes and myofibroblasts in fibrotic lung lesions, indicate that in adult lungs VEGF is involved in processes other than angiogenesis.

AN - 69411749; 10656175 AB - Infection with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) requires the presence of a CD4 molecule and chemokine receptors such as CXCR4 or CCR5 on the surface of target cells. However, it is still not clear how the virus enters the cells. Although CD4 was initially identified as the primary receptor for HIV-1, the expression of CD4 or one of the chemokine receptors alone is not sufficient to render susceptibility to infection with the virus. To ascertain whether or not adsorption of the virus needs charge-to-charge interaction between viral envelope and host cell membrane protein(s) and if binding alone promotes penetration of the virus into the cells, we have developed a chemically induced infection system targeting a CD4-negative and CXCR4-positive HeLa cell clone (N7 HeLa) which is usually not susceptible to infection with the LAI strain of HIV-1. Use of a poly-L-lysine (PLL)-coated culture plate to enhance the attachment of the virus to the cells made N7 HeLa cells infectable with HIV-1 at very low efficiency. PLL alone cannot fully substitute for the function of the CD4 molecule. However, trypsin-treated viruses, which have largely lost infectivity to CD4-positive MT-4 cells that are highly susceptible to HIV-1 infection, enhanced infectivity against N7 HeLa cells when the PLL-coated plate was used. These results provide evidence that infection with HIV-1 requires both high binding affinity between viruses and cells, and then needs a modification of the viral envelope such as cleavage of gp120/160 to enhance the infection, probably resulting in exposure of the hydrophobic fusion domain of gp41. HIV-1 infection of N7 HeLa cells was also enhanced by treatment with low pH, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and some factor(s) from the MT-4 cell culture supernatant. Not only tight viral adsorption with cleavage of the viral envelope but also some activated status of the cells may be required for sufficient HIV-1 infection in this artificial condition.

AN - 69273672; 10563888 AB - The broad-spectrum, systemic fungicides propiconazole (1) and tebuconazole (2) are used to control rust in peppermint (Mentha piperita L.). An analytical method, using gas chromatography combined with detection by high-resolution mass spectrometry, was developed to allow for the simultaneous monitoring of both pesticides in peppermint leaves and oil. Field trials were established to determine the rate of dissipation of tebuconazole and propiconazole in peppermint crops. Three applications of each fungicide were trialed at two rates (125 and 250 g of active ingredient (ai)/ha). At harvest, 64 days after the final application, propiconazole was detected at levels of 0.06 mg/kg and 0.09 mg/kg of dry weight, and tebuconazole was detected at 0.26 and 0.80 mg/kg dry weight, in identical trials. Rates of dissipation of propiconazole and tebuconazole were lower at a second trial site, where three applications of 125 g/ha ai for each fungicide resulted in residue levels of 0.21 mg/kg for both pesticides, detected 89 days after the last application. Propiconazole and tebuconazole were detected in the distilled oil at levels between 0.02 and 0.05 mg/kg and between 0.011 and 0.041 mg/kg, respectively. Propiconazole had a higher tendency to co-distill with the peppermint oil, with 0.7% of that present in the vegetative material ending up in the oil, compared to 0.09% of tebuconazole.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62490716; ED427433 AB - This volume examines education-reform efforts in U.S. public schools. The report, which focuses on higher standards for student achievement, is based on two nation-wide studies: the Public School Teacher Survey on Education Reform and the Public School Survey on Education Reform. The survey included questions on teachers' understanding of higher standards for student achievement; how prepared teachers feel to set or apply new higher standards of achievement for their students; and the extent to which teachers are implementing reform activities. Survey findings are presented throughout the report in aggregates for all schools; where significant differences were found, they are presented by school characteristics. Among the findings, 42 percent of elementary and secondary public school teachers reported understanding the concept of new higher standards for student achievement very well, and 35 percent said they felt very well equipped to set or apply new higher standards for their students; two activities associated with education reform were frequently cited by teachers as being incorporated into their classes to a great extent; and instructional strategies were aligned with high standards to help all students succeed. Three appendices present the survey methodology, reference and standard error tables, and the survey form.

The 1998 survey is based on a sample of 2,500 of the nation's 15,718 public library outlets. The survey found that 73.3% of public library outlets now offer public access to the Internet. However, only 68.6% offer graphical public Internet access to the World Wide Web (WWW) and only 45.3% offer graphical public access to the WWW at speeds of 56 kbps or greater. The first section contains background information: the Telecommunications Act of 1996; public policy debate; information technology, Internet and the digital economy; and public libraries as a public point of Internet presence. The second section presents the results of the 1998 survey: availability of public Internet access; public Internet access for areas with varying levels of poverty; public Internet access for urban, suburban, and rural areas; graphical public Internet access; bandwidth as a component of public Internet access; defining effective public Internet access; key measures connectivity and public Internet access, 1996-1998; number of graphical workstations as a component of effective access; use of filtering software and availability of an acceptable use policy for public Internet access. The third section discusses findings, policy issues, and commission responses: supporting ongoing surveys on public libraries and the Internet; initiating a dialog on effective public Internet access; and identifying policy questions and promoting additional research. The last section is a bibliography of 8 statistical studies funded by the commission. Five appendices contain: summary results; the survey instrument; the survey methodology; the survey results; and the contractor's analysis of the survey results.

The first one, "The Outlook for College Graduates, 1996-2006: Prepare Yourself" (Mark Mittelhauser), concludes that there are more jobseekers with college degrees than there are openings of college-level jobs. "The Class of 1993: One Year After Graduation" (Megan Barkume) reports on a survey of these graduates' employment status, continuing education status, academic performance, earnings, and employment in specific fields. The next article, "Trends in College Degrees" (Jonathan W. Kelinson), identifies trends in college degrees by educational level, field of study, and by college enrollment characteristics. The next paper, "Earnings of College Graduates in 1996" (Theresa Cosca), analyzes the median earnings for 1996 college graduates, the kinds of jobs they held, and the proportion of college graduates who earned less than the median for high school graduates. The final paper, "Occupations and Earnings of Workers with Some College But No Degree" (Daniel Hecker), compares occupational employment patterns and earnings data of this group with workers who have only a high school diploma and with those who have associate and bachelor's degrees.

AN - 62477850; ED431373 AB - This publication reviews the history of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) of the City University of New York (CUNY), which in 1997 celebrated its 25th anniversary, commemorating the 1972 merger of the institution's Legislative Conference and the United Federation of College Teachers, two previously rival unions. The first chapter covers the union's origins, the differing perspectives of its parent organizations, and the steps toward merger. The second chapter addresses the effects of the New York City fiscal crisis in the 1970s. It recalls the series of budgetary cuts imposed on the university, a retrenchment proposal, the PSC fight for full state funding, various restructuring plans, the shutdown of CUNY, and the achievement of full state funding. The third chapter covers 1980s, which is seen as a decade of advance. Subsections review the continuing battles against budget cuts, the Cuomo years, protection of retiree benefits, contractual gains, strengthening of the welfare fund, establishment of a credit union, and the establishment of scholarships. The final chapter, covering the 1990s, sees the decade as a period of defending PSC achievements, including agreement on a new contract, weathering new problems, restoration of some cuts, and a PSC lawsuit in the State Supreme Court. Timelines at the end of each chapter list important events.

National and State Data on the Pay Gap and Its Costs. A Joint Research Project. AN - 62470026; ED429231 AB - A national study, including state-by-state breakouts, analyzed Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics data to explore the wage gap. Median weekly earnings of men and women and of minorities and nonminorities were analyzed. Gender-based earnings differences and gender wage gaps were large for all women--and especially large for minority women--compared with all men. Minority-based wage gaps were substantial. The study estimated that, if married women earned as much as comparable men, their family incomes would rise by nearly 6 percent; if single working mothers earned as much as comparable men, their family incomes would increase by nearly 17 percent; if single working women earned as much as comparable men, their incomes would rise by 13.4 percent; and working women in every state would receive wage hikes if they earned as much as comparable men in their states. Comparison of earnings of workers in female-dominated jobs with comparable workers in other jobs showed very large earnings losses due to the lower pay associated with working in female-dominated jobs. The considerable advantage unionized workers enjoy, both in the form of higher wages and smaller wage gaps, was reviewed.

AN - 62399522; ED440021 AB - A number of recent studies represent a growing consensus among many religious and educational groups about the constitutional and educational role of religion in the public schools. This pamphlet is designed to build on these agreements and to encourage communities to find common ground when they are divided. The pamphlet presents 15 questions and answers that are intended to help parents understand the religious liberty rights of students and the appropriate role for religion in the public school curriculum. The questions and answers provide general information on the subject of religious expression and practices in schools. The answers are based on First Amendment religious liberty principles as currently interpreted by the courts and agreed to by a wide range of religious and educational organizations. The pamphlet cautions that the law alone cannot answer every question and advises that parents in each community must work with school officials to do not only what is constitutional, but also what is "right" for all citizens. It points out that the religious liberty principles of the First Amendment provide the civic framework within which citizens are able to debate differences, to understand one another, and to forge school policies that serve the common good in public education.

An opening statement of Senator Pete Domenici outlined the problem of an epidemic of black tar heroin addiction afflicting the county, with accompanying crime and delinquency problems. A representative of the federal Office of Justice Programs (OJP) described relevant OJP initiatives, particularly Weed and Seed, which provides funding for community law enforcement, drug treatment programs, and after-school youth activities aimed at drug and delinquency prevention. Other federal officials discussed block grants and state incentive grants for drug prevention and treatment programs, the Starting Early Starting Smart program for children aged 0-7, physical and mental health problems related to drug abuse, the science of heroin addiction and treatment, and science-based drug education materials for grades 5-9. Representatives of state and local agencies discussed substance abuse-related detention costs; substance abuse, mental health, and related medical costs for local prisoners; the Rio Arriba Strategic Plan for Substance and Alcohol Abuse and Treatment; the rationale for a county-wide plan; current substance abuse reduction activities in the county; youth development as primary prevention; the high rates of drug-related death in New Mexico; the special problems of isolated rural communities; and a drug treatment program based on yoga, meditation, and nutrition.

This fourth Survey in the series provides state and federal policymakers, researchers, and other interested users with descriptive information about state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for fiscal year (FY) 1997. The Survey collects data on 506 items, including governance, public service hours, service outlets, collections, library service and development transactions, support of electronic information networks, allied operations, staff, income and expenditures. Data are also collected on STLA services to public, academic, school and special libraries, and to library systems. The data items and definitions are provided in the survey facsimile at the end of the data base documentation. Data items on films, special collections, and combined libraries collected in previous years were deleted from the FY97 survey, based on their declining significance or data quality, as determined by the STLA Steering Committee. Data on staff by gender and race/ethnicity were collected by full-time/part-time status, rather than in full-time equivalents (FTEs), due to the difficulty in providing the FTE data in previous years.

The data are collected by a network of state data coordinators appointed by the chief officers of state library agencies in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The FY96 PLS collected data on 50 items for public libraries--38 basic items and 12 identifying items. The basic data include population of legal service area, number of full-time equivalent staff, outlets, library materials, operating income and expenditures, capital outlay, circulation, reference transactions, library visits, public service hours, interlibrary loans, circulation of children's materials, children's program attendance, and several items on electronic technology (i.e., expenditures for materials in electronic format, expenditures for electronic access, materials in electronic format, access to electronic services, access to the Internet, and type of Internet use). Identifying information includes the entity's name, address, telephone number, county, interlibrary relationship, type of governance, administrative structure, and its qualification as a Federal-State Cooperative System (FSCS) public library. The survey collected 12 items on each public library outlet and state library outlet. These items include type of outlet, metropolitan location, population of legal service area, and number of bookmobiles. The survey also collected data on 11 identifying items on state library agencies, systems, federations, and cooperatives. Four items were collected on characteristics of the state data submission (i.e., the starting and ending dates of the FY reporting period, the official state population estimate, and the total unduplicated population of legal service areas for the state).

Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community. AN - 62379401; ED435469 AB - This training guide is designed to enable parents and early childhood staff and managers to support and facilitate infant and toddler transitions through responsive relationships that are secure and consistent. The guide defines transitions during the first 3 years of life from developmental and relational perspectives that include changes that occur as a result of rapid developmental growth, multiple daily transitions in routines and care, and transitions from home into and out of Early Head Start and other early care settings. The guide is divided into two sections: Skill Based Training and Informational Resources. The Skill-Based Training section includes three training modules. Module one, "Infant Transitions," addresses the importance of responsive relationships as the foundation for supporting transitions and the healthy development of infants and their families. Module two, "Toddler Transitions," addresses the need for continuity in relationships that provide a secure base for exploration and consistency in routines to support continued development and ease transitions during the toddler years. Module three, "Transitions beyond Toddlerhood," focuses on the Head Start Program Performance Standard requirement that programs and families plan for the transition and appropriate placement of a child 6 months before his or her third birthday. The Information Resources section contains documents that can enhance the understanding of key concepts discussed in this guide, including digests, program profiles, hands-on tools, and other resources. (Contains an annotated bibliography with 43 references.)

A Report of the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Labor, National Institute for Literacy and Small Business Administration. AN - 62309392; ED445249 AB - In the workplace of the 21st century, America's workers will need to be better educated to fill new jobs and more flexible to respond to the changing knowledge and skill requirements of existing jobs. Meeting the challenge of employment and training will call for the best efforts of stakeholders and new forms of cooperation and collaboration. With this responsibility comes enormous opportunity. Not only does a better educated and trained work force create significant productivity gains and better bottom line results for American employers, but the more a worker learns, the more a worker earns. Society is responding, and education and training are increasing. Business establishments report providing increased formal education; unions are increasing their commitment to work force education and training; enrollments at community colleges serving an older, employed student body are increasing; and the federal government has made education and training top priorities. Challenges are the cost and scheduling of training for workers; employers' costs for training and fear of losing trained workers; and ability of postsecondary institutions to offer affordable, convenient work-related training. (The final section profiles of 23 promising partnerships and programs around worker training and lifelong learning. Appendixes include 80 endnotes and a 33-item bibliography.)

Two parallel changes occurred: (1) a shift from the general principles of control to the notion of a hierarchy of control measures & (2) a recasting of the Hierarchy of Controls into what has been called a Hierarchy of Prevention & Controls. Here, the Canadian experience is drawn on to show that this twofold shift is a progressive & constructive move; the US provides both the sources of the problem & some solutions. "Just transition" for workers during environmental change was developed in the context of chemical bans & phase-outs. The concept is now much broader. It is argued that certain pollution prevention measures have been construed as an attack on workers' rights; but this problem can be resolved to the benefit of both workers' health & environmental protection. Explanation of the relation of pollution prevention to just transition is a part of the solution. 1 Table, 2 Figures, 24 References. Adapted from the source document.

Responses to Likert-type & open-ended questions suggest that such content is commonly included in research courses, but program directors face tensions with including content on epistemologies other than logical positivism. 1 Table, 54 References.

It is argued that these discourses & ideologies work to limit women's participation & marginalize or delegitimize the contribution of feminist theories.

In the case of wives' preferences for children, subsequent childbearing was 13.8% higher than desired in the treatment area & 44.7% higher than desired in the comparison area. After controlling for all variables in the model, the likelihood of giving birth was 178% higher for wives who wanted no more children, but whose husbands did want more, compared with couples where neither husband nor wife wanted more children. For couples where the wife wanted more, but the husband did not want more children, the likelihood of giving birth was 63% higher than that of couples where both the husband & wife wanted more children. Findings suggest that, to promote fertility decline in this area, it will be necessary to motivate both wives & husbands to cease childbearing. 6 Tables, 23 References.

This article juxtaposes the central dynamic of modernist social regimes that facilitated marginality during colonial & post-colonial periods & focuses on the impact of modernist cultural-material development & social imagination on the dynamics of marginalization, particularly with respect to Africa. The rapid rise in commodity production in the 14th century led to geographical expansion of the European cultural-material system that spawned a system of differentiated global labor division & labor migrations, reorganizing processes & relations of production & destroying self-sufficient & subsistence systems. This impact was not restricted to the cultural-material sphere but was accompanied by a sophisticated modernist invasion of intellectual spaces that created a modernist global imagination. This composition of western modernity has been challenged by global developments that have a grave effect on marginalized people. Capitalistic periphery/core relationships have become geographically & socially selective. The disorganization of capitalism is over, & the supra-geographical nature of contemporary forms of market governance have led to the organizing mythology & its narrative of meta-social globality, which is the dominant modernist defense of social inequity & marginalization.

Migmatites from the Kirtomy and Naver nappes have been dated using SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology. Zircon rims which grew during migmatization have mean super(206)Pb/ super(238)U ages of 461c13 Ma (2sigma) (Kirtomy) and 467c10 Ma (2sigma) (Naver). These ages demonstrate the reality of a Middle Ordovician (Taconic) tectonothermal event in the Caledonides of northern Scotland. Monazites from the Kirtomy migmatite have a younger mean super(206)Pb/ super(238)U age of 431c10 Ma (2sigma). This may date either a late, low amphibolite facies overprint associated with steepening of part of the nappe pile, cooling through the closure temperature of monazite for radiogenic Pb, or cessation of fluid flow along the Kirtomy Thrust. Original detrital zircons from the sedimentary precursors of both migmatites fall mostly into the age range: 1850-1000 Ma, demonstrating that deposition of the Moine sediments in Sutherland occurred after c. 1000 Ma, following the culmination of Grenvillian orogenic activity in the North Atlantic region. Only two Archaean grains were found, demonstrating that Lewisian gneisses of the foreland to the Caledonian were not the source. Pre-tectonic metagabbroic rocks emplaced into the Glenfinnan and Loch Eil groups of the Moine Supergroup give a U-Pb zircon age of 873c6 Ma. This new age for the metagabbros confirms the absence of Grenvillian (c. 1.0 Ga) tectonic events in the Moine assemblage. The metagabbros are spatially associated with the Glen Doe body of the West Highland granite gneiss, and were emplaced soon after the granite gneiss protolith. The metagabbros have chemical characteristics indicating contamination with local country rocks. A regionally developed suite of tholeiitic metadolerite dykes post-dates the metagabbros. These dykes are geochemically similar to modern mid-ocean ridge basalt, albeit modified by interaction with metamorphic fluids. The presence of abundant MORB- like basaltic dykes, coupled with the lack of major compressional structures associated with the intrusive events, suggests that the c. 873 Ma event may have been dominated by extensional tectonics.

HIV-1 is a lentivirus, a separate genus of the Retroviridae, which are complex RNA viruses that integrate into the genome of host cells and replicate intracellularly. Ribozymes are catalytic RNA molecules with enzyme-like cleavage properties, that can be designed to target specific RNA sequences within the HIV-1 genome. In addition to the genomic RNA, several RNA intermediates, including splice variants, can be targeted by a single ribozyme. We and others have demonstrated the ability of ribozymes to suppress HIV-1 replication in a variety of cultured cells. Ribozyme gene therapy for HIV-1 infection is a therapeutic approach that offers several potential advantages over conventional therapies in that it can potentially impact on both viral load and restoration of the immune system. Ribozyme gene therapy may be used as an adjunct to chemotherapeutic drugs, effecting viral suppression, and facilitating immune restoration without problems of patient compliance. Currently, an anti-HIV-1 ribozyme is being tested in two separate Phase I Clinical Trials.

Home-range sizes and activity patterns within these were quantified. Adult males had significantly larger home ranges with more activity centres than adult females; most activity centres were clearly synonymous with basking sites and were defended by overt aggressive behaviour. Home ranges of males showed little overlap and no seasonal variation while those of females were unusual amongst reptiles in showing extensive overlap and seasonal change in size. Ranges were smallest in spring when all females were pregnant and were smallest in summer when only one female was pregnant. Range overlap ensured that all females studied had potential access to at least two males. Juveniles had no defined home ranges and appeared to be transients.

The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the short-term effects of cane toads on populations of native fauna and, specifically, to compare the species diversity and relative abundance of native fauna before, during and after the invasion of an area by cane toads. Five major groups of fauna (wingless invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) were sampled over two years. The study has provided little evidence that cane toads have a significant adverse effect in the short-term on the diversity and abundance of the native fauna examined. However, there was an indication that there may be a long-term indirect effect on some fauna. In the short-term the dingo Canis lupus dingo) and one Order of insect (Coleoptera) were affected negatively. The possible long-term negative effect was on the small reptile fauna and particularly the small skinks. This may be an indirect effect on their food supply, because the groups affected were those that were considered neither to ingest cane toads nor to be eaten by cane toads.

III. The Cape York rat, Rattus leucopus (Muridae: Rodentia) AN - 18399535; 5383748 AB - This is the first detailed ecological study of the Cape York rat, Rattus leucopus, a small rodent found on the Cape York Peninsula, North Queensland, Australia. A total of 296 animals were captured 1135 times in rainforest at Iron Range during a capture-mark-recapture study from 1989 to 1991. Compared with other native species of Rattus in more variable habitats, populations of R. leucopus were relatively stable: adjusted mean numbers on the traplines exhibited a 2.3-2.6-fold change. This stability may be related to the apparently more stable food supply in tropical rainforest. Evidence from this study indicates that populations are limited by food availability: male reproductive condition peaked in December when fruit availability was high; and mean population abundance significantly increased in moist areas where food supply was apparently higher. R. leucopus was nocturnal, terrestrial, omnivorous, and nested communally in burrows. Breeding occurred throughout the study. Young became trappable at the age of 22 days. Reproductive maturity was reached at the age of three months. Females gave birth to their first litters when they were at least four months old, and continued to breed into their second or third year.

A total of 181 animals were captured 725 times at Iron Range during a capture-mark-recapture study from 1989 to 1991. A. leo is crepuscular-nocturnal, insectivorous, semi-arboreal and nests in hollows. Its life-history strategy is typical of the genus, including the synchrony of reproductive events and the post-mating death of all males. The estimated annual mating season is from mid-September to mid-October. Young were born around 1 November ( plus or minus 12 days), and were carried in the pouch until early to mid December. Juveniles became trappable around mid February. Daughters stayed in their mother's home range, while sons dispersed soon after they left the nest. Lactation, weaning and dispersal of young were timed to coincide with the wet season when the abundance of invertebrates increased, suggesting that populations are limited by food supply.

Although geologically contiguous with the Bunda Cliffs in South Australia (where sea lions have a scattered distribution), the Baxter Cliffs appeared generally more weathered and stable, with fewer collapsed sections of cliff forming platforms and providing habitat for seals. In total, 29 Australian sea lions were observed during the survey. Most were at a previously surveyed site approximately 2 km west of Twilight Cove. Ten other sites were recorded as potentially providing haul-out opportunity for sea lions; they were mainly caves and deep overhangs with access from the sea. No fur seals were seen. From this survey and from other records, we estimate the Australian sea lion population along the Baxter Cliffs in the Great Australian Bight region of Western Australia at less than 100 animals.

II. The Cape York melomys, Melomys capensis (Muridae: Rodentia) AN - 18395875; 5383747 AB - This is the first detailed ecological study of the Cape York melomys, Melomys capensis, a small rodent endemic to the Cape York Peninsula, North Queensland, Australia. A total of 343 animals were captured 781 times in rainforest at Iron Range during a capture-mark-recapture study from 1989 to 1991. Compared with other species of Melomys in more variable habitats, populations of M. capensis were relatively stable: adjusted mean number on the traplines exhibited a maximum 1.3-2.0-fold difference. The stable demography may be related to the apparently more constant food supply in tropical rainforest. Both population abundance and male reproductive condition peaked in December when the availability of fruit was high, indicating that populations are limited by food supply. M. capensis was herbivorous, nocturnal, semi-arboreal, and it nested in hollows. Breeding occurred throughout the study. Most litters comprised two young. Young became trappable at about 14 days of age, and reached reproductive maturity at about 43 days of age. Females gave birth to the first litter when they were at least 80 days old and continued to breed into their second year.

While the problem of introduced marine pests is far from solved, an evaluation of the results of efforts to date suggest four key points. First, exotic species have been, and continue to be, introduced by a range of vectors; priorities for management action need to be based on a critical evaluation of the real risks posed by each vector, and encompass an understanding that even major effort directed at a few vectors will not prevent new incursions of major pest species. Second, eradication of new incursions is achievable, but is uncommon and limited to those situations where the pest was either detected quickly or otherwise still had a limited distribution. For most species, practical options for rapid eradication still need to be developed. Third, long-term options for pest management have to take into account social and cultural issues that make some options unfeasible. And fourth, groups likely to pose major threats in the future include pathogens, marine macroalgae, and genetically enhanced production lines developed for use in mariculture. The development of options to deal with these issues will rely heavily on an integration of techniques for management strategy evaluation, fundamental marine ecology, and the emerging science of marine bioinvasions.

AN - 17847681; 4883442 AB - Port Phillip Bay (PPB) is a large (1900 km super(2)), temperate embayment in southern Victoria, Australia. Extensive bay-wide surveys of PPB have occurred between 1803 and 1963. In 1995/96 the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Centre for Research on Introduced Marine Pests (CRIMP) undertook an intensive evaluation of the region with the aims of developing a comprehensive species list of native and introduced fauna and contrasting previous bay-wide assessments with a current field survey in order to detect new incursions and discern alterations to native communities. Two methods were used to meet these aims: a re-evaluation of regional museum collections and published research in PPB to identify and determine the timing of introductions; and field surveys for introduced benthic (infauna, epifauna, and encrusting) organisms conducted by CRIMP between September 1995 and March 1996. The historic component of PPB invasions groups into four periods based on significant shifts in trade activities: exploration/colonization (pre-1839), immigration (1839-1851), Gold Rush (1852-1860), and modern mechanisms (including aquaculture; 1861-present). Invasions within PPB appear to be increasing, possibly due to an increase in modern shipping traffic and an increase in aquaculture (historically associated with incidental introductions); however, the records of extensive biological surveys suggest that this may in part be an artifact of sampling effort. As expected, the majority of introductions are concentrated around the shipping ports of Geelong and Melbourne. Recent incursions into the region include Undaria pinnatifida, Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides, Asterias amurensis, Schizoporella unicornis, and Pyromaia tuberculata. Port Phillip Bay is presented as one of the most invaded marine ecosystems in the Southern Hemisphere. JF - Marine Bioinvasions.

Excessive nutrient concentrations in the water column can fuel undesirable growths of algae, and excessive accumulations in the sediment can promote nuisance growths of rooted aquatic plants. Such conditions may interfere with recreational and aquatic life uses and may also reduce the aesthetic quality of these waters. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and its implementing regulations (40 C.F.R. beta 130.7) require states to: 1) identify waters that do not or will not meet applicable water quality standards after the application of technology-based or other required controls, and 2) establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for pollutants that are causing non-attainment of water quality standards. In addition, the TMDL process offers an excellent opportunity to protect water quality in lakes and reservoirs. The potential effectiveness of pollutant load controls is greater and more cost-efficient in a protection mode than in a restoration mode.

Nutrient enrichment enhanced total cell counts, chlorophyll a concentration and in vivo and DCMU-fluorescence. Photosynthetic efficiency was reduced in the complete F2 medium as indicated by the high level of in vivo fluorescence, whereas photosynthetic efficiency was increased by the introduction of mussels to the F2 medium. The addition of mussels significantly increased the proportion of non-motile cells, but did not reduce the total cell count. The effect of mussel grazing on algae could be underestimated if only total cells were counted or only the chlorophyll a concentration was measured. The results indicate that these three methods measure different properties of an algal culture and are complementary to each other in assessing the quality and quantity of an algal population. Direct algal counting offers a reliable numerical assessment for cell population abundance. Chlorophyll a concentration was closely correlated to the total cell count. In the presence of mussels, in vivo fluorescence did not correlate with either algal cell counts or chlorophyll a concentration, indicating that the measurement of in vivo fluorescence may be misleading for estimating algal abundance under different culture conditions.

As a consequence recreational fishing, largely targeted at barramundi (Lates calcarifer), has increased rapidly. Over the same time period a commercial gillnet fishery developed to the point of overexploitation and stock decline which was followed by stock recovery after significant effort adjustment. As the recreational fishery expanded, the resource in some areas was reallocated to the recreational sector by exclusion of commercial fishing. Data from creel surveys show that in the Mary River recreational effort declined rather than increased following the exclusion of commercial fishing. This decline occurred despite the fact that stock recovery in the area was already well advanced. Assessment of non-fishery factors and modelling of the fishery provide some insight into the reasons for this contrary trend. It is likely that the growth overfishing which occurred did not radically reduce recruitment to the stock and, as the recreational catch mostly comprises fish smaller than the size targeted by the commercial sector, availability of fish to the recreational sector was not greatly reduced. Effects of habitat changes, infrastructure developments and economic climate are also discussed. JF - Fisheries Centre research reports.

FIFRA governs U.S. registration, sale and use of pesticide products. The FFDCA establishes standards under which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets pesticide residue levels (tolerances) in food and animal feed. The vehicle for these changes was the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 that established a new food safety standard. It requires a "reasonable certainty of no harm" from any legally permissible pesticide residue, while recognizing the benefits of pesticide use on food crops. Since the FQPA was enacted, EPA implementation of the new standard has been carefully observed and often criticized by farmers, chemical manufacturers, environmentalists, other stakeholders and the Administration. This article evaluates the status of the FQPA implementation and related issues; particularly its potential effects on certain popular pesticides used in food production and processing.

In the present study, model bacterial (Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit, LTB) and fox sperm (fSP10) antigens were expressed in S. typhimurium SL3261 ( Delta aroA) under the control of the trc promoter. Adult female foxes were given three oral immunizations with SL3261 containing either LTB (SL3261/pLTB), fSP10 (SL3261/pFSP10) or a control plasmid (pKK233-2 or pTrc99A). All foxes raised serum (IgG) and vaginal (IgG and IgA) antibodies against S. typhimurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Each fox that received SL3261/pLTB raised high titre LTB-specific serum and vaginal IgG antibodies. However, only one of four foxes immunized with SL3261/pFSP10 raised an anti-fSP10 immune response, in the form of low titre serum and vaginal IgG antibodies. No vaginal IgA antibodies were raised against either LTB or fSP10 in these experiments. The immune responses against recombinant LTB and fSP10 resulted chiefly from the initial dose of antigen in the inocula and were minimally influenced by continued in vivo antigen expression. This study demonstrates for the first time in the female red fox that oral Salmonella can elicit specific systemic and reproductive tract antibodies against heterologous, recombinant proteins.

The first was a shift from the general principles of control to the notion of a hierarchy of control measures and the second was a recasting of the Hierarchy of Controls into what has been called a Hierarchy of Prevention and Controls. This article cites the Canadian experience to show that this twofold shift is a progressive and constructive move; the United States provides both the sources of the problem and some solutions. "Just Transition" for workers during environmental change was developed in the context of chemical bans and phase-outs. The concept is now much broader. The article argues that certain pollution prevention measures have been construed as an attack on workers' rights; but this problem can be resolved to the benefit of both workers' health and environmental protection. Explanation of the relation of pollution prevention to Just Transition is a part of the solution.

(Fabaceae) is a Tasmanian endemic shrub classified as nationally vulnerable. Only four populations of P. selaginoides totalling fewer than 1000 individuals are known to be extant, and one of these populations consists of only six individuals. The habitat of P. selaginoides is restricted to sites in flood-prone, riparian areas or coastal ridgelines subject to cloud-lie and runoff retention. However, there appears to be unoccupied habitat available. Pultenaea selaginoides can resprout or coppice after disturbance or regenerate from the soil stored seed bank. Most populations are producing seed, and large quantities may be produced. Germination of the seed can be induced by short-term temperatures of 60-100 degree C. Only the largest population is formally reserved, but all sites should be managed for the perpetuation of P. selaginoides. Because of the narrowness of its distribution, its low total population size, its innate seed dormancy, the ageing of most of the populations, and the uncertainty about the precise causes of its rarity, P. selaginoides should continue to be regarded as vulnerable to extinction.

AN - 17510853; 4697327 AB - The major centres of local endemism and richness at the species level and below in Spyridium Fenzl are located on the southern coast of Western Australia and in south-eastern South Australia. There are only a few Spyridium taxa with ranges that transgress the boundaries of the following four regions: southwestern Western Australia; south-eastern South Australia and western Victoria; eastern Victoria, New South Wales and southern Queensland; Tasmania. Synthetic climatic variables were generated for all recorded populations of Spyridium taxa. Variabilities in these were related to the maximum geographic ranges of taxa in Australia as a whole, and within the regions, in order to test the hypothesis that narrow endemism is explained by climatic restriction since the last glacial. In Australia as a whole, local endemics are both narrowly and widely distributed climatically, as are more widespread Spyridium taxa, and there were no significant relationships between the climatic and geographic ranges of taxa confined to the Australian mainland regions. However, Tasmanian taxa exhibited a strong positive relationship. Restriction of range as a result of climate change is an unlikely explanation for local endemism in Spyridium in mainland Australia, where topographic and climatic gradients are generally subdued, and which apparently experienced less severe climatic oscillations during the Quaternary. However, this hypothesis cannot be rejected for Tasmania, which experienced more extreme Quaternary climatic fluctuations than the present-day areas of mediterranean climate, and hence more severe fluctuations in the area and location of climatically suitable habitats.

Data on tree and shrub species densities and heights by species, moss cover, litter cover, Blechnum wattsii cover, canopy cover, bulk density of the substrate, and substrate surface pH, nitrogen content and phosphorus content were obtained from paired soil and log quadrats. Tree seedlings were found to be significantly more abundant on fallen logs than on adjacent ground at both sites, with the differences being greater at the moister Tahune site than at Mount Field. At Tahune, logs significantly differed from adjacent soil in canopy cover, litter cover, moss cover Blechnum wattsii cover, pH and slope. At Mount Field, there were significant differences between logs and soil in litter cover, moss cover, pH, bulk density and nitrogen. Litter cover may be critical in explaining the superior establishment of trees on logs rather than soil in Tasmanian mixed forest, although the possible impacts of variations in bioturbation and root competition require further research.

Ecological investigations of its phytosociology, stand structure, germination requirements, soil seed store and response to fire and disturbance indicate, however, that it is susceptible to elimination by fire regimes that allow the survival of most of its co-occurring species and most other Australian species of Acacia. The species is also vulnerable to land clearance and weed competition in the lowland part of its range, which is largely on private land. A. axillaris may be a refugial species, better suited to glacial Tasmania than to interglacial Tasmania. On ecological evidence, the species should retain its conservation status of vulnerable to extinction.

Information obtained from herbarium collections, the botanical literature, and anecdotal sources indicates that since 1970, 159 new plant taxa have been recorded as naturalised in Tasmania, bringing to a total over 740 weed species recorded from the State. Most of these species are from the families Poaceae (15.1%), Fabaceae (10.1%), Asteraceae (6.9%), Cyperaceae (5.7%), Rosaceae s.l. (5.0%), Caryophyllaceae and Liliaceae s.l. (3.8% each), Iridaceae (3.1%), and Juncaceae and Ranunculaceae (2.5% each). While for many taxa the mechanisms for introduction remain unknown, at least 35% were introduced as ornamentals, and some 5% arrived through agricultural practices. Of the 159 species, 19 are known only from Tasmania and have not been recorded from the Australian mainland. The majority of weeds are of European origin, with a high proportion being from Africa, North and South America, and mainland Australia, in that order. This study demonstrates that even with the current quarantine controls a large number of weed species have been introduced to the State flora in the last 25 years, and a considerable number of these species are recognised as potential environmental weeds. The number of new weed species recognised is also possibly due, in part, to more collections of weeds being undertaken in recent years. As a large percentage of the weeds identified are ornamentals, stricter controls on the introductions of new ornamentals may be needed. Some of the limitations of using herbarium collections to assess weed introductions are also discussed.

A sediment core taken from Ace Lake in 1995 shows three distinct changes in diatom assemblage constituents: initial benthic hyposaline - freshwater taxa are replaced by marine planktonic and sea-ice taxa with these taxa in turn replaced by the benthic hypersaline taxa dominant in the lake today. These changes in assemblage composition enable the lakewater salinity of each stage to be determined, and the Holocene evolution of the lake to be refined. Deglaciation of the Vestfold Hills at the beginning of the Holocene exposed Ace Lake basin; following this, fresh lacustrine diatoms were deposited from similar to 11 380 to similar to 8110 corrected super(14)C yr BP. Relative sea-level rise after this time led to the progressive marine inundation of the lake and the deposition of marine diatom taxa. Marine taxa were dominant in the sediment for more than 6000 years. Isostatic rebound and stabilization of the sea-level isolated Ace Lake and at similar to 1480 corrected super(14)C yr BP saline lacustrine diatoms became the dominant taxa, indicative of the concentration of dissolved salts through evaporation after isolation.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Institutional forces behind water conflict in the Ganga plains AN - 17444656; 4657028 AB - With increased upstream withdrawal of Ganga waters for irrigation and urban industrial uses, Ganga's dry season flow is declining. The heavily populated but marginalised north Indian State of Bihar with its capital at Patna expects the Union government in Delhi to curb the appetite of upstream States; but Delhi's water bureaucracy, having grown within a culture of 'construction' rather than 'water management', is reluctant to do so. Adding to Patna's anxiety is a new fear in the form of the 1996 Farakka Treaty between India and Bangladesh, an international obligation that Patna fears will further curtail its water rights. Delhi, however, is able to placate Patna with promises of a Kosi High Dam in Nepal on the major tributary of the Ganga closest to Bihar. Because both bureaucracies belong to a social solidarity of hierarchic procedures that would make similar technological choices, Patna is pacified. On the other hand, activist groups in Bihar belonging to a different solidarity, that of egalitarian equity, point to the dismal consequences of past technological choices (embankments) on the land and its poor and continue to oppose this new choice as well. The hierarchic discourse between Patna and Delhi, however, filters out this activist critique and pursues a business-as-usual program of new high dam construction. The purpose of this paper is to examine the institutional background behind such rigid, single-mission policies and the costly surprises and impasse they are prone to.

Aerial dispersal of early instar larvae (L1-L3) from the tree canopy onto heather foliage at the forest understorey, with subsequent relocation back onto the tree as late-instar larvae (L4-L6) appeared to play a significant role in the development of a widespread virus epizootic in which approximately 80% of L4-L6 individuals succumbed to disease. Bioassays of foliage 1 year later showed that the distribution of NPV followed a pronounced vertical gradient through the forest canopy culminating in high concentrations of virus in the forest understorey. Experimental systems comprising potted pine trees positioned above heather bases showed that NPV infections could be acquired by early stage larvae following dispersal from the tree and feeding on the undercanopy vegetation, then translocated to the tree component for secondary transmission to susceptible tree-feeding individuals. Behavioural studies indicated that the tendency for first-, second- and third-instar larvae to disperse to the understorey was probably not influenced by larval density on the tree but was strongly dependent on larval instar. In contrast, the tendency for larvae to relocate from the understorey heather to the tree was affected by both larval density and larval instar, suggesting that both these factors may significantly affect virus acquisition, translocation and transmission in the host population. In the present study, the heather understorey appeared to act as a pathogen reservoir in which virus could persist between host generations. Spatial heterogeneity in virus distribution combined with host foraging behaviour (dispersal and feeding) resulted in the pathogen playing a major role in host population dynamics over an extended time period (3 years). The reservoir theory is supported by the observation that similar dynamics were not observed in O. antiqua populations at neighbouring sites which lacked understorey food plants.

However, when irrigated at the water-use rate of the plantation, nitrogen (N) applied in the effluent often exceeds the demand of the trees both in the early stages of growth and after canopy closure when much of the N is supplied from the decomposition of litter. With the ample supply of water and large loadings of N, conditions are conducive to significant N losses. The principal potential N loss mechanisms are leaching of nitrate-N to groundwater and biological denitrification. In 4 separate experiments between winter 1992 and summer 1994, super(15)N-labelled N (total application of 2 g N/m super(2); 30 atom%) was applied to 1-m super(2) subplots or small plastic (PVC) cylinders. In the first 2 experiments, using 1-m super(2) subplots, the conservative tracer Br was applied as KBr with the super(15)N at a total application of 12.8 g Br super(-)/m super(2). In Expt 1, the high recovery of the super(15)N-labelled N, and the comparable distribution of super(15)N and Br super(-) in the soil profile, implied that there was little loss of N by denitrification, even though the soil was sufficiently wet for leaching of both tracers. Although less conclusive, the other experiments also showed a high potential for leaching and minimal loss of applied super(15)N-labelled N by denitrification. The small contribution to N loss of denitrification, despite conditions being otherwise suitable for it, is attributed to the free-draining nature of the soil, which meant that aeration was rarely sufficiently limited to encourage denitrification. Similar results are expected at other effluent irrigation sites on freely draining soils.

As a consequence of this low `base-rate probability', the large majority of organisms rejected in any random sample of potential introductions would probably be harmless, despite the fairly high accuracy of some recently proposed risk assessment systems for exotic introductions. Here we distinguish between a system's accuracy (the proportion of a group of known pest species that would be correctly identified as pests) and reliability (the rate of false positives and false negatives produced once the base-rate is taken into account). We next adapt a decision theory analysis of earthquake prediction to explore when we would be best advised to ignore the recommendations of a screening system for exotic introductions. In one scenario, we show that a pest risk assessment system with an accuracy of 85% would be better ignored, unless the damage caused by introducing a pest is eight times or more that caused by not introducing a harmless organism that is potentially useful. Furthermore, because of the base-rate effect, in certain situations it may be more efficient to focus on identifying potential invaders from amongst already naturalized species than from amongst species at the importation stage.

Knowledge of nitrogen transformations and balances is essential to design and operate plantations so as to keep groundwater degradation within acceptable limits. APSIM for Effluent, a model of water, salt, and nitrogen in effluent-irrigated plantations was tested against data from a plantation of Eucalyptus grandis (flooded gum) irrigated with either secondary-treated sewage effluent or bore water. APSIM was then used for quantifying nitrogen transformations, leaching, and balance, within the plantation. Summed over 5 years, the predicted nitrogen balance of the effluent-irrigated treatment showed that the accumulation of nitrogen in the aboveground biomass and litter (335 and 19 kg/ha) was significantly less than the amount of nitrogen added in effluent (508 kg/ha). Denitrification at this site was low, about 52 kg/ha over 5 years, because the soil was permeable and unlikely to become anaerobic for substantial periods of time. After 5 years, organic nitrogen decreased by 167 kg N/ha, and 269 kg N/ha was leached. In the trees irrigated with bore water, accumulation of nitrogen in the biomass and litter (301 and 34 kg/ha) was not much less than for the effluent-irrigated treatment and was considerably greater than the nitrogen added in the bore water irrigation (14 kg/ha). After 5 years, the predicted fluxes were 10 kg/ha denitrified, 389 kg/ha depleted from soil organic matter, and about 58 kg/ha leached. About 75% of the nitrogen leaching occurred in the first year of the experiment.

Meeting environmental objectives ensures return of bond monies and facilitates release of the Company from environmental obligations. Completion criteria which confirm establishment of a self-perpetuating and resilient vegetation cover over mine waste are being developed. Quantitative assessment of ecological processes is the basis for development of completion criteria, and includes plant cover, revegetation density, species richness, and reproductive potential. Field sites are in arid (desert: summer and more effective winter rainfall) and semi-arid (semi-desert: Mediterranean) regions of Western Australia on Crown Land, with all but one being on pastoral (rangeland) leases. Post-mining land use generally reverts to maintaining the natural ecosystem or rangeland. Within this climatic zone very distinct vegetation communities are closely linked to soil substrate classification. Matching surface waste characteristics from a mine waste dump with those of surrounding analogue communities is the first step in determining an achievable vegetation cover.

Record floods interrupt record droughts at irregular intervals so that water is unevenly distributed. The traditional way of managing water resources by dam storages is no longer acceptable. Community consultation in SE Queensland has shown that a majority of people object to the disposal of sewage effluent into our environmentally sensitive waterways and favour re-use. The concept of potable re-use has largely been community driven and is now being seriously considered. An on-going information and awareness program is being implemented. The Queensland State Government is forming a Water Re-use Strategy and a policy on potable re-use, the support for which is increasing.

Although social nesting occurs in both tribes, no morphological castes have evolved and females are totipotent, which makes the tribe as a whole highly suitable to test predictions of reproductive skew models. We review current information for the two tribes with respect to reproductive competition and reproductive skew and then investigate whether the observed skew fits with predictions from optimal skew theory. Social nests of Xylocopa species include a non-foraging guard and a foraging egg layer who completely dominates reproduction. Reproductive dominance is settled by aggression, and the probability of winning this fight is influenced by both age and size. In Ceratina species, task allocation is also very clear: one female guards the nest, while the other female(s) forage(s). Although the guard is usually the first to produce an egg, her eggs are frequently replaced by those of the forager, and skew is incomplete. Using comparisons between species and genera the impact of ecological constraints on solitary nesting, relative group productivity and relatedness on reproductive partitioning between dominants and subordinates are investigated in a qualitative way. In support of the optimal skew model, strong constraints on solitary nesting coincided with strong skew. However, the predicted effects of relatedness and group productivity on skew were not found. Furthermore, no support was found for the predictions of the optimal skew model that high skew coincides with frequent aggressive testing and risky task performance by subordinates.

While some individual populations were infected for the entire study period, others were infected for only 1 or 2 years. Local pathogen population extinction and recolonization events were relatively common, with annual recolonization rates of previously healthy populations ranging from 0% to 13.3%. 3 The incidence of disease within individual host populations was significantly affected by host population size, the prevalence of disease in the previous year and the proximity of neighbouring populations that were infected in the current year. The prevalence of disease in infected populations only depended on the prevalence of disease in the previous year. There was little to choose between disease prevalence and severity in predictive power. 4 Overall, the dynamical behaviour of this set of pathogen demes best fit that predicted for a metapopulation with considerable asynchrony in epidemiological patterns between different demes, despite evidence of among-population migration.

In the past, efforts to understand the interactions between C3 and the pneumococcus have focused primarily on the opsonic interactions that occur in the bloodstream. Although Wright and Douglas were the first to show that serum elements were required for phagocytosis of S. pneumoniae, 30 years elapsed before Ward and Enders dissected the opsonic capacities of anticapsular antibody alone versus antibody plus serum factors in the phagocytosis of serotype 3 pneumococci. In the presence of anticapsular antibody alone, phagocytosis of type 3 pneumococci in vitro was an extraordinarily slow process and was not complete until approximately 8 h. Adding normal serum as complement source completed the process within 2 h. Definitive proof that these "serum factors" were indeed complement proteins required another 30 years and the demonstration that depletion of the third component of complement (C3) in rat serum with zymosan or cobra venom factor suppressed phagocytosis of encapsulated S. pneumoniae. Simultaneous proof arose from experiments depleting human C3 in vitro and from case histories of patients genetically deficient in C3. Later models of pneumococcal sepsis in mice, guinea pigs, and dogs have fortified these conclusions: C3 is the primary opsonin for Streptococcus pneumoniae. This contribution will summarize some of the salient features of the biochemistry of pneumococcal opsonization and will highlight novel mechanisms by which pneumococci are able to elude complement-mediated host defense.

In reality, the data modeller uses comes from many sources in a variety of formats. Point measurements from boreholes are a critical dataset and can be combined with lines (eg water level and structural contours), polygons (eg surface geology and land use maps) and rasters (eg Landsat imagery). Firstly, the modeller needs a working environment to store, integrate and analyse these datasets and to derive the cell-by-cell model input. Secondly, the model output needs to be compared with the original source data that describes the real world. Borehole information is typically stored in a relational database management system (RDBMS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are designed for managing spatial information. These technologies have been used as the working environment for the Lower Darling model, which is a large regional groundwater flow model within the Murray Geological Basin, southeast Australia. Different strategies were developed to manipulate the available data into MODFLOW input files and also for the modelled heads and flows to be compared with field observations. Some of these strategies are specific to the Lower Darling model, but others are generic and can be easily applied in the data manipulation and calibration of groundwater models for regional aquifer systems.

This is the lowest GC% recorded for a metazoan. Low GC% DNA has high concentrations of thymine (T) residues and consequently a greater abundance of adjacent T residues [T(n) arrays]. Ultraviolet B (280-320 nm, UV-B) radiation damages DNA primarily at (T)n arrays, so we suggest that krill DNA may be more susceptible to damage from increased levels of UB-B radiation over the Southern ocean than the DNA of other Antarctic organisms.

AN - 17330458; 4598033 AB - Wheat seedlings infected with a pure inoculum of the root-rotting fungus Rhizoctonia solani were grown in pots designed to fit in pressure chambers, to allow the effects of the Rhizoctonia infection on leaf growth to be studied while maintaining the leaves at elevated water status. Wheat was grown to the third leaf stage in soil inoculated with three different levels of Rhizoctonia, and the pots were then pressurised for seven days to maintain the leaf xylem at the point of bleeding (ie. the leaves were at full turgor). The reduction in leaf expansion caused by Rhizoctonia was not overcome by pressurisation, indicating that a reduced supply of water to the leaves was not responsible for reduced leaf growth. The addition of phosphorus to pots marginally deficient in P did not increase the leaf growth of Rhizoctonia-infected plants, despite increased P uptake to the leaves. These results indicate that a reduced supply of water to the leaves and a supply of phosphorus that was bordering on deficient was not the cause of the growth reduction in seedlings with Rhizoctonia infection. The nature of this reduced growth remains uncertain but may involve growth regulators produced by the fungus, or by the plant as a result of the infection process. The mechanism of these growth reductions is of interest as it may provide a key to the development of plant resistance mechanisms.

The Na-PI precursor was cleaved in the leaves of transgenic tobacco and peas, and M sub(r) 6000 polypeptides accumulated to levels of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total soluble protein. The Na-PI cDNA segregated as a dominant Mendelian trait and was stably transmitted for at least two generations of both species.

A management procedure is a combination of a method for assessing the resource and an approach for calculating a management measure (usually a catch limit) based on the results of the assessment. A simulation approach is used to compare a variety of management procedures for medium- and long-lived marine resources. The scenarios upon which the simulations are based are representative of four resources, three of which are long lived (school shark Galeorhinus galeus [also known as tope], orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus, and bowhead whales Balaena mysticetus) and one that has fast growth and a medium life span (Cape hake Merluccius capensis). The majority of the management procedures examined are based on models that explicitly consider the age structure of the population while annual catch limits are based on fixed escapement and constant fishing effort harvest strategies. The results suggest that long-lived species could be managed using management procedures. However, the "best" management procedure is likely to be life history-specific and so the simulation trials used to evaluate candidate management procedures for a given resource need to be tailored to the specific issues for that resource. The constant fishing effort strategies achieved markedly lower levels of interannual variation in catches than the fixed escapement strategies. Therefore if two management procedures are able to achieve the same level of risk, those based on constant fishery effort are generally to be preferred.

The history of shark fisheries is not encouraging, and their poor record of sustainability is compounded by the fact that few countries have any form of management for these resources. The Australian Southern Shark Fishery provides an example of a well-studied shark fishery with a long history of exploitation that has been under a management plan for some ten years. This fishery is unique in that it exploits, under a similar fishing regime, two similar target shark species that show very different responses to fishing pressure. Stock assessments suggest that under current fishing effort the catch of one species is sustainable while the other species is overexploited. The vulnerability of the two species to the fishing gear is similar but their biological productivity is very different. The selective pressures that may have given rise to these different life history strategies are discussed.

Children with HUS had lower levels of total IgG and IgM and lower IgM titres to Stx than those with UCS. The number of children with neutralising antibodies was similar in the two groups. Of the children with HUS, 11 had HUS on enrolment and six developed HUS subsequent to enrolment. Antibody titres in children who subsequently developed HUS were compared with those in children with UCS to assess whether differences in antibody titres occurred before the development of HUS. IgA titres to Stx were found to be higher in children who subsequently developed HUS than in those with UCS. However, logistic regression analysis revealed that titres of Stx antibodies in the serum were not significant risk factors for the development of HUS. Thus, although the levels of Stx antibodies were different in children with HUS, and higher IgA titres to Stx were identifiable in children who subsequently developed HUS compared with those with UCS, the relevance of these findings in the development of HUS remains to be elucidated.

Fifty-eight adult sleepy lizards, Tiliqua rugosa, were radio-tagged and regularly located over the spring season, when they are most active, for 2-5 years. Home-range area did not differ between males and females. Changes in home-range position between years were assessed by the distance between home-range centres measured at intervals of one, two, three or four years. Mean distances for successive years were less than the span of the home range in one year. The distance did not differ between sexes, it was not related to lizard size, nor did it increase with increased time interval. This implies that for the resident adult population, lizards retain their home ranges for at least five years, and that the sexes do not differ in their fidelity to home range.

Chalicodoma spp. spent less time at each flower during the afternoon in quadrats where B. terrestris foraged than at quadrats from which B. terrestris was excluded, indicating that standing crops of nectar were depleted by B. terrestris during the course of the day. This decline in resources was associated with reductions in the numbers of flowers visited, and the amount of time spent foraging, by Chalicodoma spp. It is proposed that the native bees avoided foraging in the quadrat where B. terrestris occurred as a response to reduced foraging efficiency in that situation. Thus, B. terrestris displaced these two species of Chalicodoma through competition for a limited resource. The high densities at which B. terrestris occurred, together with its ability to forage at lower ambient temperatures than the native bees, exacerbated the impact of this exotic species. The possibility that this will adversely affect pollination in G. huegelii is also discussed.

Luggage Point Stage 2 (300,000 e.p.) is a conventional activated sludge plant designed for nitrification. Gibson Island (150,000 e.p.) is an extended aeration activated sludge plant designed for nitrogen removal to less than 10 mgTN/l. Extensive modelling and plant simulation were carried out to evaluate the potential of various modified operational modes before the most promising modes were trialed on the full scale plants. Operational trials are proceeding well and improved nitrogen removal to less than 3 mgTN/l for Gibson Island and to less than 10 mgTN/l for Luggage Point have been achieved. Improved phosphorus removal has also been achieved for periods at both plants (less than 4 mgTP/L for Luggage Point and less than 2.5 mgTP/l at Gibson Island). However, phosphorus removal has not been consistent and trials are ongoing to determine the sustainable level of phosphorus removal for these plants. The conclusion of the trials to date is that operational strategies can be implemented for these plants to effect the removal of substantial quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus for a minimum of capital cost. This paper presents the results of the various operational strategies that have been trialed and implemented for both plants. When considering the upgrading of a plant for improved nutrient removal, the principle of "Optimise What You Have First" can sometimes produce surprisingly high nutrient removal levels for a very modest capital expenditure.

Prior to 1997 one catchment discharged untreated sewage to the Derwent River estuary. The State environmental authority required this wastewater to be treated to nutrient removal standard. Following extensive investigations to determine options, Council decided to transfer this wastewater to the existing Selfs Point trickling filter plant. Augmentation of this facility to biological nutrient removal standard was selected to meet the more stringent licence conditions. Council required the new treatment process to utilise current best industry practice, to have proven performance and to make best use of the existing infrastructure, while maintaining cost effectiveness. This paper discusses the rationale for incorporating trickling filters into the process specification. It also describes the maximal use of previously existing plant, with over 90% incorporated into the design. A significant feature is that the anaerobic digesters have been retained to ensure good biosolids stabilisation. Selfs Point has shown that retrofitting a trickling filter plant to BNR performance can be very cost effective where existing facilities are in good condition.

Phosphorus rich biosolids from biological nutrient removal (BNR) facilities are highly desirable for land application. However, the accumulation of toxic heavy metals and industrial organic contaminants may render the biosolids unsuitable for land application. The presence of toxic heavy metals has been identified by Local Authorities in Australia as a major constraint limiting the beneficial use of biosolids. The potential of off-site contamination due to the migration of nutrients is also a major concern especially when applying biosolids to acidic agricultural land. Accordingly, the relevant environment protection and conservation agencies are involved in either developing or finalising guidelines to control the beneficial use of biosolids products. Metals bioleaching is a process achieved through bio-acidification. Bio-acidification of biosolids prior to land application can be used to dissolve and remove a significant fraction of the heavy metals content of the product. However, the process also reduces the nutrients content of the resource. Bio-acidification of Loganholme (Queensland) BNR biosolids dissolved 76% of the total phosphorus and 38% of the TKN. The heavy metals solubilisation results reached 50% for Cr, 79% for Ni, 45% for Zn, 24% for Cu, 30% for Cd, and 82% for Pb.

In field trials the severity of disease in harvested potatoes was directly related to the severity of disease on the planted seed tubers. Chemical seed dressing treatments were assessed for common scab disease control under field conditions in four trials over 5 years. Where seed treatments were applied to both diseased and visibly clean seed pieces significantly more disease was found in tubers harvested from diseased seed than the corresponding clean seed treatment. In all but one trial, the treatments applied to diseased seed significantly reduced the incidence of common scab. Fluazinam, flusulfamide (at elevated rates), fenpiclonil, pentachloronitrobezene and mancozeb seed treatments were particularly effective as seed dressing treatments. Applications to visibly clean seed failed to significantly diminish disease levels below that found on untreated seed. Preliminary investigations of some chemical soil treatments gave disappointing levels of control.

The circadian rhythm of complex behaviours such as, rearing, preening, scratching and biting/licking was evaluated in an open-field situation in rats exposed to lead (2% lead acetate in drinking water for 30 days). The circadian rhythm of rearing patterns showed depressions from 2 to 14 hr on day 3 and 13, and from 2-6 hr on day 23 (it elevated at 10 hr), whereas increased pattern was apparent at all test periods (except at 6 hr) on day 30. Increased responses of circadian rhythm of preening behaviour were obtained at 18 hr (with decrease at 22 hr) on day 3, at 6 and 14-22 hr on day 13 and, at all the test periods on day 23 (except at 6 hr) and on day 30. The rhythmic patterns of the scratching behaviour showed elevations at each test period as observed on day 3, 13, 23 and 30. The responses in lead-intoxicated rats, however, showed depressions in the light-period and augmentations in the dark-period. The biting/licking behaviours indicated increased patterns of the circadian rhythm attaining a parabolic response, which were inconsistent to the scratching behaviour patterns. Amongst lead-intoxicated rats this behaviour exhibited depressed responses in light-period, whereas in dark-period it showed elevations.

Despite lacking many sectoral policies and strategies, including those on environment, from a macro-review of different environment-related legislation one can infer that resource use Acts are incomplete for sustainability. The failure by the government to intervene could be partially corrected through the annual fiscal budget and policy behavior. For example, market tools such as deposit-refund systems, a target-orientated 'win-win' approach, environmental taxes, service fees and subsidies will further streamline future courses of action. But, in the long term, innovative and integrative implementing mechanisms of different policy options are needed. Since the command and control approach is at an initial phase, a concurrent initiation of appropriate market-based instruments could herald a substantial change in the existing anarchism of resource-use behavior. The users' group concept for forest resource management should be extended to poor families and people so that economic democracy in resource ownership and management could exist. Behavioral change or honesty on the part of different stakeholders such as bureaucrats, businessmen, politicians and people is necessary to pave the way for a sustainable future.

The advantages of including such observations are the provision of data in regions void of conventional rain gauges or radars, as well as the improved delineation of raining from nonraining areas in gridded rainfall analyses. This paper describes a threshold algorithm for delineating nonraining areas using the difference between the daily minimum infrared brightness temperature and the climatological minimum surface temperature. Using a fixed difference threshold of -13 K, the accuracy of "no rain" detection (defined as the percentage of no-rain diagnoses that was correct) was 98%. The average spatial coverage was 45%, capturing about half of the observed space-time frequency of no rain over Australia. By delineating cool, moderate, and warm threshold areas, the average spatial coverage was increased to 54% while maintaining the same level of accuracy. The satellite no-rain observations were sampled to a density consistent with the existing gauge network, then added to the real-time gauge observations and analyzed using the Bureau of Meteorology's operational three-pass Barnes objective rainfall analysis scheme. When verified against independent surface rainfall observations, the mean bias in the satellite-augmented analyses was roughly half of bias in the gauge-only analyses. The most noticeable impact of the additional satellite observations was a 66% reduction in the size of the data-void regions.

The effectiveness of adding either live cultures of micro-organisms produced commercially (or enzyme products from such cultures) to systems which naturally develop mixed and complex populations of many different microorganisms (e.g. activated sludge) may be questioned. Comparatively few studies have been published in which the commercially- produced cultures have been tested under controlled conditions. This study was aimed at conducting a controlled study of one "liquid live micro-organism" (LLMO) product in a nitrification-denitrification biological enhanced phosphorus removal (NDBEPR) activated sludge system. The product was marketed by the supplier for its ability to reduce sludge production in activated sludge systems. Using two parallel pilot-scale NDNEPR activated sludge systems operated in parallel under identical conditions, one with and one without the addition of the LLMO product, this study found no evidence to support the supplier's claim for the product. Two experiments were conducted: one in which the LLMO product was dosed in relatively large amounts without prior aerobic activation, and one in which activation was carried out aerobically for 24 to 36 h, as specified by the supplier. For both experiments, satisfactory mass balances for the systems could be shown, but no statistical difference in sludge production was observed, despite dosing at least ten times more product than that specified by the supplier for typical full-scale applications. Performance of the test and control systems was also virtually identical in all other respects. JF - Water S. A.

The objective of this population-based longitudinal study was to determine whether maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with bone mass and other growth variables in prepubertal children. We studied 330 8-year-old male and female children representing 47% of those who originally took part in a study of risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 1988. The main outcome measures were bone mineral density measured by a Hologic QDR2000 densitometer: birth weight, placental weight, height, and weight. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with deficits in growth with these children having lower height (-1.53 cm, 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.03 to -0.03) and a trend to lower weight (-1.35 kg, 95% CI -2.75 to 0.11) at age 8. Furthermore, there was a disproportionate deficit in bone mass such that those children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy had lower size adjusted bone mass at the lumbar spine (-0.019 g/cm super(2), 95% CI -0.033 to -0.005) and femoral neck (-0.018 g/cm super(2), 95% C1-0.034 to -0.002) but not total body (-0.005 g/cm super(2), 95% CI -0.015 to 0.005). This association was only present for children born at term. Mothers who smoked during pregnancy also had lower placental weight (-56 g, 95% C1-95 to -17), and further adjustment for placental weight led to nonsignificant results for smoking with both growth and bone parameters, suggesting that these associations may be mediated through placental size and function. Maternal smoking habit in 1996 was not significantly associated with bone mass at any site. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated a long-term negative association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and both growth and bone mass in children born at term, and suggests that the timing of exposure rather than the dose or duration is critical. If these associations are present in other populations and they persist until the attainment of peak bone mass, then our findings suggest that osteoporosis prevention programs should start very early in the life cycle.

Fifty-three remnants of native vegetation larger than 5 ha were surveyed. Vascular plant species occurrence and abundance was recorded from the warm edge, the cool edge and the centre of each remnant and a species list made for the remnant as a whole. Geometric, environmental and management variables for the remnant were related to vegetation variables indicating condition and the importance of each remnant for rare or threatened vascular plant species. There was no significant relationship between the presence of rare or threatened species and any of the six condition variables, and this index was generally significantly related to a different set of independent variables than the condition indices. Among the condition variables, only exotic species richness was significantly related to management variables. Among all the dependent variables, only exotic species richness, exotic cover and the ratio between exotic cover and native cover were not significantly related to at least one axis of a two-dimensional ordination of the remnant floristic data. The warm edge quadrats were significantly different from the centre quadrats on several variables, mainly related to exotic richness and cover, and the cool edge quadrats were significantly different from the centre quadrats on a lesser number. None of these differences related to soil fertility. Among the management-related variables, only the number of stumps varied between the centre and the edge. Microclimatic differences, rather than nutrient drift, might explain many of the differences between the centre and edge quadrats. The results of this study conform with previous work that has indicated that remnant area, age and patterning may not be major influences on the condition of remnants, and that planning for remnant conservation must independently consider rare or threatened species and condition. The present study also indicates that the relationships between the value of remnants for conservation and geometric, environmental and management variables vary strongly between different environments. Thus, management and planning recommendations derived from one area are not necessarily transportable to another.

Drill line rehabilitation was at US$860 per ha, individual sump holes were US$120. The drill lines had displayed a degree of vehicle compaction and related disturbance. Application of seed over scarified drill lines led to the presence of a variety of plant taxa. Control and scarified drill line treatments (neither seeded) were characterised by the establishment of one or two species only. This is contrasted with higher species richness (16) and a greater range of life forms over the seeded treatment, coupled with significantly greater plant density and cover. The three sump hole treatments where deep ripping occurred are now covered by a variety of chenopods, with many acacias and eucalypts also prevalent. Application of good quality seed at 15 kg/ha with fertiliser, in late autumn, on newly prepared surfaces, has seen successful plant establishment over disturbed highly saline sumps which contained hydrocarbon derivatives. Revegetation was one and a half years old and a quantitative approach to reporting is provided. Cost benefit analysis of early rehabiliation is given.

These end-uses pertain to the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors, and cover oil, LPG, natural gas, coal, renewable energy, electricity, motor gasoline, and jet fuel. Of the individual end-uses, the one with the largest energy demand is identified as light-duty vehicles, with demand nearly twice the size of the next largest end-use, direct heat for industrial processes. Total C emissions in 1996 were 1464 million metric tons C equivalent, with the largest contributor being light-duty vehicles. The reduction in energy demand needed to meet the Kyoto Protocol targets would be substantially greater than previous changes in US energy demand, and efforts to meet these demands through improvements in energy efficiency would have to be quite substantial. An important consideration in meeting the targets would have to involve zero-emission energy sources along with energy efficiency improvements. The model developed in the analysis can be used to evaluate other C emission-reduction proposals.

The Meuse is contaminated with several pollutants, both organic and inorganic. Compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated byphenyls, pesticides and heavy metals are adsorbed to suspended matter, and settle to the sediments. Several artificial lakes used for recreational purposes have been constructed adjacent to the river. During the river's high flow time, or during flooding, these contaminated sediments can accumulate in the lakes. This study examines the sediments of two lakes for heavy metal contamination, and assesses the risk to human health in using the lakes for recreational purposes.

Investigating the dietary habits from infancy to reproductive age can help assess PCB/dioxin exposure. High quantities of these compounds are transferred to infants during breast feeding. The authors study the contribution of different foods to total exposure from infancy to pre-school age children. Cord plasma samples and breast milk were analyzed. A food questionnaire was used to asses the cumulative toxin equivalent intake in children from 1 to 5 years of age, estimating consumption of dairy products, processed foods, and meat products, major contributors of PCB and dioxin accumulation. The methodology and results are presented.

Using a standardized form, the number of child medical visits for upper respiratory, lower respiratory, and non respiratory diagnoses were collected every day for a period of 2 years. Eight public health clinics representing the 6 health service areas of the city participated in the study. Daily airborne particulate matter and ozone measurements were available from instruments in the center of the city. Results showed a statistically significant association between airborne particulate matter and medical visits for lower respiratory symptoms in children. It was also found to be associated with upper respiratory symptoms in order children, while ozone was associated with visits of older children for both upper and lower respiratory symptoms.

AN - 62371371; ED437194 AB - These hearing transcripts present testimony before the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the 105th Congress on early childhood education and related services. Participants provided different perspectives on early education, focusing on the academic achievement of American students, especially in comparison to students in other countries; the importance of early childhood longitudinal studies; the role of child care centers; and improving early childhood educators' qualifications. Speakers included Senators James Jeffords (Vermont), Tim Hutchinson (Arkansas), Susan Collins (Maine), and Jack Reed (Rhode Island). Providing expert testimony were the commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics and the executive director of the Child Care Action Campaign. Witnesses indicated that basic measures from the National Household Education Survey document tremendous variation in the skills children bring to kindergarten. Studies of child care in the United States report that the vast majority of centers provide poor to mediocre care. One participant compared U.S. child care programs to early education programs in France, noting differences in caregiver qualifications and compensation, as well as other programmatic differences. This witness also recommended accelerating the move toward universal prekindergarten programming and increasing accreditation efforts. A report on data needs for early childhood development and learning readiness is appended.

Despite considerable research in the area of voice problems in teachers, the prevalence of voice disorders in this group is unknown. This study investigated the prevalence of self-reported voice problems in teachers using a mail survey of a simple random sample of 1168 state school teachers (preschool-Grade 12) in South Australia. As part of the survey, teachers were asked to report voice problems for the day of the survey, during the current teaching year, & during their careers. The response rate was 75%, with 16% of teachers reporting voice problems on the day of the survey, 20% reporting problems during the current teaching year, & 19% reporting problems at some time during their career. Females were twice as likely as males to report voice problems. These findings clearly indicate a need for further investigation of the causes of vocal dysfunction in teachers & for the development of educational programs aimed at preventing voice problems in this group of professional voice users. 3 Figures, 1 Appendix, 18 References.

Volume 2: Profiles of Successful Schoolwide Programs. An Idea Book. AN - 62506976; ED429360 AB - This volume is part of a series of Idea Books for school-based practitioners who are implementing federal compensatory-education programs. It demonstrates how educators and their supporting communities are implementing a new vision of comprehensive school reform using the schoolwide program option available under the 1994 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which requires states and districts to set challenging standards for what students should know and be able to do. The document was completed by consulting with successful school-based educators to learn what it takes to create outstanding schoolwide programs. The volume opens with an overview of promising practices, focusing on vision, leadership, and decision making; student performance results; research-based reform strategies; the professional learning community; parent and community partnerships; and sustaining change. It includes case studies organized by elementary and secondary schools. Examples from the primary grades describe a team approach to literacy acquisition, academic success through a full-service school, ways to ensure success for all students, and making a commitment to teacher development. The two secondary-school case studies discuss ways to prepare students for real-world experiences and how to achieve a world-class standard in a culturally diverse community.

Factors Influencing Women's Participation in Rural Communities AN - 61550520; 9914824 AB - Women (N = 56) across six rural shires in the south of Western Australia were interviewed regarding their participation in personal & community networks & their individual & family histories. These questions were structured so that the women define participation in their own terms, & identify factors that limit or facilitate their involvement in their respective communities. Detailed qualitative analysis revealed that, to determine a woman's degree of involvement in her community, it is inappropriate to focus solely on formal membership in community organizations. Participation in a rural context is not unidimensional, but rather, involves participation in family life, the farm, personal business, & the community. Further, participation is influenced by a number of factors that enhance or inhibit involvement, eg, family status, lack of privacy, distance, & the rural economy. Findings are discussed in relation to the literature on participation & community structure. 1 Table, 98 References. Adapted from the source document.

It was found that 92% removed their leg &/or underarm hair, most frequently by shaving. This was irrespective of their feminist beliefs, but was negatively related to self-esteem in university students. The reasons cited for hair removal were related primarily to the desire for femininity & attractiveness. However, reasons provided for starting to remove body hair differed between the groups; they were relatively more normative for the university students than for the high school students. It is concluded that women's stated reasons for starting the practice of hair removal reflect primarily their vantage point as observers. In fact, removing body hair is a practice so normative as to go mostly unremarked, but one that contributes substantially to the notion that women's bodies are unacceptable as they are. 3 Tables, 16 References.

AN - 21312335; 11702180 AB - Most of the available data on chemical interactions have been obtained in animal studies conducted by administering high doses of chemicals by routes and scenarios different from anticipated human exposures. A mechanistic approach potentially useful for conducting dose, scenario, species, and route extrapolations of toxic interactions is physiological modeling. This approach involves the development of mathematical descriptions of the interrelationships among the critical determinants of toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. The mechanistic basis of the physiological modeling approach not only enables the species, dose, route, and scenario extrapolations of the occurrence of toxicokinetic interactions but also allows the extrapolation of the occurrence of interactions from binary to multichemical mixtures. Examples are presented to show the feasibility of predicting changes in toxicokinetics of the components of complex chemical mixtures based on the incorporation of binary interaction data within physiologically based models. Interactions-based mixture risk assessment can be performed by simulating the change in the tissue dose of the toxic moiety of each mixture component during combined exposures and calculating the risk associated with each tissue dose estimate using a tissue dose versus response curve for all components. The use of such a mechanistic approach should facilitate the evaluation of the magnitude and relevance of chemical interactions in assessing the risks of low-level human exposures to complex chemical mixtures.

AN - 21263566; 11703750 AB - The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), in collaboration with the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) Nutrition and Food Research Institute, is conducting studies to evaluate the role of chemical interactions in the expression of toxicity from low-level exposure to combinations of chemicals. The goal of this collaborative effort is to use a weight-of-evidence (WOE) approach to estimate joint toxicity of some simple chemical mixtures and to compare the estimations with test results from animal toxicity studies. The WOE approach uses individual chemical dose-response assessments and algorithms that incorporate various assumptions regarding potential chemical interactions. Qualitative evaluations were prepared for binary combinations of chemicals for the effect of butyl hydroxyanisole on di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, the effect of stannous chloride on Cd chloride (CdCl2), and the effect of CdCl2 on loperamide. Analyses of these evaluations and their comparison with the conclusions of laboratory animal experiments indicate that the WOE approach can be used to estimate qualitatively the joint toxicity of such simple mixtures. To further test the utility of the WOE approach, qualitative and semiquantitative evaluations were prepared for two chemical mixtures--one with similarly acting halogenated aliphatics (trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, hexachloro-1,3-butadiene[HCBD], and 1,1,2-trichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene [TCTFP]) and the other with dissimilarly acting nephrotoxic components (mercuric chloride, lysinolalanine, D-limonene, and HCBD). These two sets of data were used to estimate the overall toxicities of the mixtures using the WOE algorithm for the mixture. The comparison of the results of the estimated toxicity with experimentally determined toxicity of the mixture of similarly acting nephrotoxicants demonstrated that the WOE approach correctly adjusted for the observed interactions in experimental animal studies. However, this was not true for the mixture of dissimilarly acting nephrotoxicants. This could be attributed to the fact that WOE evaluations are based on dose additivity that postulates that all chemicals in a given mixture act in the same way--by the same mechanism--and differ only in their potencies. In these cases the WOE approach evaluations, based on consideration of common mechanisms for simple chemical mixtures, can lead to better estimates of joint toxicity of chemical mixtures than the default assumption of dose additivity. The results also show that the WOE evaluations should be target-organ specific because none of the models tested could approximate the observed responses in organs other than the target organs in the laboratory animal studies.

AN - 21259354; 11703754 AB - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency employs a model, the integrated exposure biokinetic (IEUBK) model for lead in children, for the assessment of risks to children posed by environmental lead at hazardous waste sites. This paper describes results of an effort to verify the consistency of the documentation with the computer model and to test the computer code using a group that is independent from those involved in the model development. This review concluded that the IEUBK model correctly calculates the equations specified in the IEUBK model theory documentation. However, several issues were identified on model documentation, model performance, and the C++ programming language code (i.e., IEUBK model source code) documentation.

AN - 21259037; 11702178 AB - Mixture design has been used to identify possible interactions between mutagens in a mixture. In this paper the use of mixture design in multidimensional isobolographic studies is introduced. Mutagenicity of individual nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) was evaluated is an organic extract of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs). The particles were extracted with dichloromethane (DCM). After replacing DCM with dimethyl sulfoxide, the extract was spiked with three individual nitro-PAH: 1-nitropyrene, 2-nitrofluorene, and 1,8-dinitropyrene. The nitro-PAH were added separately and in various combinations to the extract to determine the effects of each variable and to identify possible interactions between the individual nitro-PAH and between the nitro-PAH and the extract. The composition of the mixtures was determined by mixture design (linear axial normal) with four variables (the DEP extract and the three nitro-PAH, giving 8 different mixtures plus a triplicate centerpoint, i.e., a total of 11. The design supports a model with linear and interaction (product) terms. Two different approaches were used: traditional mixture design within a well-defined range on the linear part of the dose-response curves and an isobolographic mixture design with equipotent doses of each variable. The mixtures were tested for mutagenicity in the Ames assay using the TA98 strain of Salmonella typhimurium. The data were analyzed with projections to latent structures (PLS). The three individual nitro-PAH and the DEP extract acted additively in the Ames test. The use of mixture design either within a well-defined range of the linear part on the dose-response curve or with equipotent doses saves experiments and reduces the possibility of false interaction terms in situations with dose additivity or response additivity.

AN - 21258776; 11702186 AB - A historical review of the development of biokinetic model of lead is presented. Biokinetics is interpreted narrowly to mean only physiologic processes happening within the body. Proceeding chronologically, for each epoch, the measurements of lead in the body are presented along with mathematical models in an attempt to trace the convergence of observations from two disparate fields--occupational medicine and radiologic health--into some unified models. Kehoe's early balance studies and the use of radioactive lead tracers are presented. The 1960s saw the joint application of radioactive lead techniques and simple compartmental kinetic models used to establish the exchange rates and residence times of lead in body pools. The applications of stable isotopes to questions of the magnitudes of respired and ingested inputs required the development of a simple three-pool model. During the 1980s more elaborate models were developed. One of their key goals was the establishment of the dose-response relationship between exposure to lead and biologic precursors of adverse health effects.

AN - 21258756; 11702185 AB - For the accurate analysis of possible interactive effects of chemicals in a defined mixture, statistical designs are necessary to develop clear and manageable experiments. For instance, factorial designs have been successfully used to detect two-factor interactions. Particularly useful for this purpose are fractionated factorial designs, requiring only a fraction of all possible combinations of a full factorial design. Once the potential interaction has been detected with a fractionated design, a more accurate analysis can be performed for the particular binary mixtures to ensure and characterize these interactions. In this paper this approach is illustrated using an in vitro cytotoxicity assay to detect the presence of mixtures of Fusarium mycotoxins in contaminated food samples. We have investigated interactions between five mycotoxin species (Trichothecenes, Fumonisins, and Zearalenone) using the DNA synthesis inhibition assay in L929 fibroblasts. First, a central composite design was applied to identify possible interactive effects between mycotoxins in the mixtures (27 combinations from 5(5) possible combinations). Then two-factor interactions of particular interest were further analyzed by the use of a full factorial design (5 x 5 design) to characterize the nature of those interactions more precisely. Results show that combined exposure to several classes of mycotoxins generally results in effect addition with a few minor exceptions indicating synergistic interactions. In general, the nature of the interactions characterized in the full factorial design was similar to the nature of those observed in the central composite design. However, the magnitude of interaction was relatively small in the full factorial design.

AN - 21258022; 11703744 AB - The reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by anaerobic bacteria has recently been established as an important environmental fate of these compounds. This process removes chlorines directly from the biphenyl ring with replacement by hydrogen, resulting in a product mixture in which the average number of chlorines per biphenyl is reduced. In this study, dechlorination of commercial PCB mixtures (Aroclors 1242 and 1254) by microorganisms eluted from PCB-contaminated sediments of the River Raisin (Michigan) and Silver Lake (Massachusetts) caused a depletion in the proportion of highly chlorinated PCB congeners and an accumulation of lesser-chlorinated congeners. Dechlorination occurred primarily at the meta and, to a much lesser extent, para positions of biphenyl. The concentrations of the coplanar congeners including 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl, the most potent dioxinlike congener, were significantly lowered by reductive dechlorination. Microbial reductive dechlorination of commercial PCB mixtures caused a substantial reduction in biologic activities in several instances. It significantly lowered or eliminated the inhibitory effects of Aroclors on fertilization of mouse gametes in vitro. Similarly, the dechlorinated product mixtures had substantially lower ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase induction potencies and showed less ability to induce activating protein 1 transcription factor activity as compared to the unaltered Aroclors. In other assays the same dechlorinated product mixtures demonstrated biologic activities similar to the nondechlorinated Aroclors, including the ability of PCB mixtures to stimulate insulin secretion and cause neutrophil activation. The data presented here establish that the biologic activities of commercial PCB mixtures are altered by microbial reductive dechlorination and that an assessment of their toxic potential requires an array of tests that include the different mechanisms associated with PCBs.

AN - 21256620; 11702176 AB - This paper examines the uses and limits of empirical data in evaluating measurement and modeling approaches to human lead exposure. Empirical data from experiment or observation or both have been used in studies of lead exposure. For example, experimental studies have elucidated and quantified physiologic or biokinetic parameters of lead exposure under controlled conditions. Observation, i.e., epidemiology, has been widely applied to study population exposures to lead. There is growing interest in the use of lead exposure prediction models and their evaluation before use in risk assessment. Empirical studies of lead exposure must be fully understood, especially their limits, before they are applied as "standards" or reference information for evaluation of exposure models, especially the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's lead biokinetic model that is a focus of this article. Empirical and modeled datasets for lead exposure may not agree due to a) problems with the observational data or b) problems with the model; caution should be exercised before either a model or observational data are rejected. There are at least three sources of discordance in cases where there is lack of agreement: a) empirical data are accurate but the model is flawed; b) the model is valid but reference empirical data are inaccurate; or c) neither empirical data nor model is accurate, and each is inaccurate in different ways. This paper evaluates some of the critical empirical input to biokinetic models, especially lead bioavailability.

AN - 21251298; 11703756 AB - Determining the complete molecular composition of petroleum and its refined products is not feasible with current analytical techniques because of the astronomical number of molecular components. Modeling the composition and behavior of such complex mixtures in refinery processes has accordingly evolved along a simplifying concept called lumping. Lumping reduces the complexity of the problem to a manageable form by grouping the entire set of molecular components into a handful of lumps. This traditional approach does not have a molecular basis and therefore excludes important aspects of process chemistry and molecular property fundamentals from the model's formulation. A new approach called structure-oriented lumping has been developed to model the composition and chemistry of complex mixtures at a molecular level. The central concept is to represent an individual molecular or a set of closely related isomers as a mathematical construct of certain specific and repeating structural groups. A complex mixture such as petroleum can then be represented as thousands of distinct molecular components, each having a mathematical identity. This enables the automated construction of large complex reaction networks with tens of thousands of specific reactions for simulating the chemistry of complex mixtures. Further, the method provides a convenient framework for incorporating molecular physical property correlations, existing group contribution methods, molecular thermodynamic properties, and the structure--activity relationships of chemical kinetics in the development of models.

AN - 21251274; 11703751 AB - Trichloroethylene (TCE) was found as a contaminant in the well supplying water to an aquatic testing laboratory. The groundwater was routinely screened by a commercial laboratory for volatile and semivolatile compounds, metals, herbicides, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency methods. Although TCE was the only reportable peak on the gas chromatograph, with average concentrations of 0.200 mg/l, other small peaks were also present, indicating the possibility that the contamination was not limited to TCE alone. A chronic 6-month carcinogenicity assay was conducted on-site in a biomonitoring trailer, using the Japanese medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) in an initiation-promotion protocol, with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as the initiator and the TCE-contaminated groundwater as a promoter. Study results indicated no evidence of carcinogenic potential of the groundwater without initiation. There was, however, a tumor-promotional effect of the groundwater after DEN initiation. A follow-up laboratory study was conducted using reagent grade TCE added to carbon-filtered groundwater to simulate TCE concentrations comparable to those found in the contaminated groundwater. Study results indicated no promotional effects of TCE. These studies emphasize the necessity for on-site bioassays to assess potential environmental hazards. In this instance, chemical analysis of the groundwater identified TCE as the only reportable contaminant, but other compounds present below reportable limits were noted and may have had a synergistic effect on tumor promotion observed with the groundwater exposure.

AN - 21251030; 11703748 AB - Molecular and population genetic ecotoxicologic approaches are being developed for the utilization of arthropods as bioreporters of heavy metal mixtures in the environment. The explosion of knowledge in molecular biology, molecular genetics, and biotechnology provides an unparalleled opportunity to use arthropods as bioreporter organisms. Interspecific differences in aquatic arthropod populations have been previously demonstrated in response to heavy metal insult in the Arkansas River (AR) California Gulch Superfund site (CGSS). Population genetic analyses were conducted on the mayfly Baetis tricaudatus. Genetic polymorphisms were detected in polymerase chain reaction amplified 16S mitochondrial rDNA (a selectively neutral gene) of B tricaudatus using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. Genetic differences may have resulted from impediments to gene flow in the population caused by mortality arising from exposure to heavy metal mixture pollution. In laboratory studies a candidate metal-responsive mucinlike gene, which is metal and dose specific, has been identified in Chironomus tentans and other potential AR-CGSS bioreporter species. Population genetic analyses using the mucinlike gene may provide insight into the role of this selectable gene in determining the breeding structure of B. tricaudatus in the AR-CGSS and may provide mechanistic insight into determinants of aquatic arthropod response to heavy metal insult. Metal-responsive (MR) genes and regulatory sequences are being isolated, characterized, and assayed for differential gene expression in response to heavy metal mixture pollution in the AR-CGSS. Identified promoter sequences can then be engineered into previously developed MR constructs to provide sensitive in vitro assays for environmental bioreporting of heavy metal mixtures. The results of the population genetic studies are being entered into an AR geographic information system that contains substantial biological, chemical, and geophysical information. Integrated spatial, structural, and temporal analyses of these parameters will provide invaluable information concerning environmental determinants that restrict or promote gene flow in bioreporter populations.

AN - 21250752; 11702175 AB - Systematic toxicity testing, using conventional toxicology methodologies, of single chemicals and chemical mixtures is highly impractical because of the immense numbers of chemicals and chemical mixtures involved and the limited scientific resources. Therefore, the development of unconventional, efficient, and predictive toxicology methods is imperative. Using carcinogenicity as an end point, we present approaches for developing predictive tools for toxicologic evaluation of chemicals and chemical mixtures relevant to environmental contamination. Central to the approaches presented is the integration of physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) and quantitative structure--activity relationship (QSAR) modeling with focused mechanistically based experimental toxicology. In this development, molecular and cellular biomarkers critical to the carcinogenesis process are evaluated quantitatively between different chemicals and/or chemical mixtures. Examples presented include the integration of PBPK/PD and QSAR modeling with a time-course medium-term liver foci assay, molecular biology and cell proliferation studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses of DNA changes, and cancer modeling to assess and attempt to predict the carcinogenicity of the series of 12 chlorobenzene isomers. Also presented is an ongoing effort to develop and apply a similar approach to chemical mixtures using in vitro cell culture (Syrian hamster embryo cell transformation assay and human keratinocytes) methodologies and in vivo studies. The promise and pitfalls of these developments are elaborated. When successfully applied, these approaches may greatly reduce animal usage, personnel, resources, and time required to evaluate the carcinogenicity of chemicals and chemical mixtures.

AN - 21250677; 11703755 AB - Structural equation modeling is a statistical method for partitioning the variance in a set of interrelated multivariate outcomes into that which is due to direct, indirect, and covariate (exogenous) effects. Despite this model's flexibility to handle different experimental designs, postulation of a causal chain among the endogenous variables and the points of influence of the covariates is required. This has motivated the researchers at the University of Cincinnati Department of Environmental Health to be guided by a theoretical model for movement of lead from distal sources (exterior soil or dust and paint lead) to proximal sources (interior dust lead) and then finally to biologic outcomes (handwipe and blood lead). The question of whether a single structural equation model built from proximity arguments can be applied to diverse populations observed in different communities with varying lead amounts, sources, and bioavailabilities is addressed in this article. This reanalysis involved data from 1855 children less than 72 months of age enrolled in 11 studies performed over approximately 15 years. Data from children residing near former ore-processing sites were included in this reanalysis. A single model adequately fit the data from these 11 studies; however, the model needs to be flexible to include pathways that are not frequently observed. As expected, the more proximal sources of interior dust lead and handwipe lead were the most important predictors of blood lead; soil lead often had a number of indirect influences. A limited number of covariates were also isolated as usually affecting the endogenous lead variables. The blood lead levels surveyed at the ore-processing sites were comparable to and actually somewhat lower than those reported in the the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Lessened bioavailability of the lead at certain of these sites is a probable reason for this finding.

AN - 21249624; 11703746 AB - The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has several new initiatives involving chemical mixtures and has recognized the need to develop new experimental approaches to enhance our efforts in this area. Responding to recent increases in nominations of complex occupational exposures for toxicologic assessment by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, the NIEHS and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have begun a program to characterize exposures through field studies, identify biomarkers of exposure in workers, and recreate relevant mixed exposures in a laboratory setting. A second initiative with the National Center for Environmental Health/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will examine blood samples from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey population surveys for selected endocrine-disrupting agents and for common patterns of persistent xenobiotics, providing critical information for the design of animal studies to assess risks of relevant chemical mixtures to humans. New toxicology testing methods (lower cost, faster) will enhance our ability to study chemical mixtures (e.g., dioxin and dioxinlike chemicals, combination AIDS therapies). Ongoing method development efforts involve in vitro functional toxicology assays, screens for estrogenic activity, and carcinogenesis studies in transgenic mice. A major scientific initiative with mixtures involves studies of individual and mixtures of dioxin and dioxinlike chemicals to determine if toxic equivalence factors predict carcinogenic potency in traditional and transgenic bioassays. Complementing these studies is an increased emphasis on physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, an activity central to the proper interpretation of chemical mixture studies.

Multivariate analysis considered a range of potential confounding variables (eg, a family history of alcoholism & effect modifiers, such as having an alcoholic partner). Findings show that childhood sexual abuse alone was not a significant predictor of alcohol abuse. However, a history of childhood sexual abuse became significant in combination with cofactors that included having a mother who was perceived as cold & uncaring, having an alcoholic partner, & believing that alcohol is a sexual disinhibitor. The importance of examining the family background of women with alcohol problems is highlighted. 3 Tables, 52 References. Adapted from the source document.

Two streams receive urban contaminants, one (the reference creek) has an undeveloped catchment. Levels of sediment copper, zinc, cadmium and lead (total and speciated) and phosphorus (total and organic) were determined, as well as total organic carbon, particle size fractionation and cation exchange capacity. A range of quality parameters were also measured for interstitial waters. Sediments were characterized by very low organic matter ( 95%). Despite a low accumulation of heavy metals and phosphorus in the long term, the sediments were nevertheless a sink for these constituents. Greatest proportions of sediment zinc and lead were associated with hydrous metal oxide coatings, or coarse waste particles. Apart from a substantial residual component, copper was preferentially associated with organic matter. Cadmium was rarely detected in any stream. Multidimensional scaling showed that under low flow conditions the three sites had distinct sediment chemistries. However, high levels of temporal and spatial variability were apparent within the urbanized sites, consistent with those streams regularly receiving discharges of diverse composition. Poor sediment and interstitial water qualities were often observed in the two urban sites, although such conditions did not occur continuously. Poor interstitial water quality was also seen on occasion in the reference stream; however, poor sediment quality was never detected at this site. Considering surficial sediments of Hawkesbury Sandstone streams may be suspended during high flow conditions, it was concluded that surface waters were a more reliable indicator of stream condition for short-term monitoring studies.

The urgency of watershed management and identification of the grass-roots people as 'the prime actor' have now been recorded. Conservation programmes have been undertaken: leasehold and grazing development interlinks management with promotion of living status of the poor, and the community forest aims at forest management through users' group. Women's management role in the Shivapuri Watershed, which supplies water to Kathmandu where half the urban population of Nepal are located, has been noted, pointing out the impact of urban influence in resource management. Essential measures have been sought to enhance women's capabilities in management undertakings.

Losses to predation can exceed losses to fisheries, yet is is often assumed fishing mortality alone is responsible for variation in fish survival. While it may be sufficient to forget predation in short-term prediction and management, this will not further longer-term prediction and management. The predation experienced by a population is influenced by environmental and biological factors that vary spatially, seasonally, annually, and with the abundance of itself, other prey species, and the predator species. Predation can directly regulate prey numbers and indirectly regulate their survival via habitat availability, individual growth, and trophic structure. Despite predation's pervasity, its complexity and variability complicate its prediction. Models of predation have shown assumptions made in single-species models to be incorrect, but numerical prediction may be reliable for only the simplest symmetrical predator-prey interactions, where ontogenetic changes in predator diet and prey vulnerability have been accounted for. Knowledge of the effects of predation in marine fisheries will be furthered by an ongoing commitment to test and explore the properties of managed fisheries, while preserving, as necessary, the productivity and buffering capacity of the natural system.

A transition from high to low flow through the pool resulted in the establishment of persistent thermal stratification, causing Aulacoseira to sink out of the euphotic zone at a speed of 0.95 m d super(-1). Concurrently, the slightly buoyant Anabaena grew within the euphotic zone with a specific growth rate of 0.37 d super(-1), climaxing after approximately 14 d at a population of 20,000-30,000 cells ml super(-1), at which point its biomass may have been limited by the availability of phosphorus. The stratification thus caused the phytoplankton population to separate into two distinct layers, with Anabaena occupying the illuminated surface layer and Aulacoseira found only in the lower layer below the euphoric depth. Under stratified conditions, the ratio of the surface layer depth to euphoric depth, z sub(sl):z sub(eu), was approximately 1, whereas for a mixed water column that ratio was >3. Access to light appeared to be the main factor determining the dominant phytoplankton species.

Since European settlement, agricultural activities have fragmented its once relatively continuous populations, leaving only small, isolated remnants throughout much of its range. We used allozyme electrophoresis to study the effects of fragmentation on patterns of genetic variation in 16 M. lanceolata populations. Despite its extremely reduced abundance, patterns of genetic variation in M. lanceolata still largely resemble those of a widespread and abundant species. Allele richness (mean = 7.1 alleles per locus set) and total gene diversity (H sub(t) = 0.371) were high, compared with widespread diploid plant species. This may result partly from tetraploidy in this species. Populations themselves were highly variable, with an average gene diversity within populations (H sub(s)) of 0.362 and allele richness of 4.2 alleles per locus set. Detectable differentiation between populations was low (G sub(ST) = 2.7%), but there were differences due to rare alleles. One difference between M. lanceolata and other widespread plant species was a high proportion of alleles classed as rare (0.75). Genetic diversity in M. lanceolata populations (ranging in size from 87 to 140,000 individuals) was analyzed in relation to population size, area, and latitude. Relationships between population size and allele richness were difficult to interpret owing to correlations with latitude. Five of eight populations with less than 3000 individuals had notably fewer alleles per locus set than larger populations, while three had as many or more. Individual diversity, as indicated by mean number of alleles per individual, observed uniformity, and other measures, was significantly lower in small populations. Thus, the data indicated that small populations (<0.2 ha, <3000 individuals) are undergoing gradual genetic decline but that at present even small populations can still have relatively high levels of genetic diversity and are therefore valuable for the conservation of this species.

Following tree decapitation and subsequent regrowth, A. obscuricornis nymphs were only associated with coppiced hosts. Eucalypts coppiced naturally by wild fire were found to carry significantly more nymphs than non-coppiced conspecific hosts. In contrast, adult A. obscuricornis were found on both coppiced and non-coppiced hosts. The foliar quality of coppiced hosts was superior to that of non-coppiced hosts; being softer, having a higher moisture content and a lower C/N ratio. Field collected fifth instar nymphs were heavier when collected from coppice vs. non-coppice; but in bagged shoot experiments second instar nymphs gained less weight on coppice than non-coppice. It is suggested that because coppice is softer the shoots may deteriorate (i.e. wilt) more quickly than non-coppice shoots. Through different exposure regimes, it was confirmed that first instar nymphs need only water to ecdyse, while feeding is initiated in the second instar. Differences in the nutritional requirements of first and second instar nymphs were reflected in their behaviour. First instar nymphs did not discriminate between conspecific hosts on the basis of whether they were coppiced or not, whereas second instar nymphs preferentially chose coppiced conspecific hosts. The findings of this work are discussed in the context of the plant vigour and resource regulation hypotheses.

The insect Neurostrota gunniella, a stem-boring moth imported for the biological control of M. pigra, had no apparent effect on seedling survival, which was, however, strongly reduced by inter- and intra-specific competition. In mature plants, the insect reduced radial growth of the canopy by about 14% in a season, but the insecticide had a negative effect on seed production, perhaps because it disrupted native pollinating insects. Fungicide had no effect, implying that native fungi were not affecting plant performance. A 5-year monitoring study showed a strong negative correlation between the density of the insect and seed output, such that seed output was 60% lower than normal at the highest densities of the insect. Furthermore, even at the lowest insect densities found in the field, the mean seed output and leaf litterfall were less than 50% of the value found in a study carried out prior to the insect's release in the mid 1980s. The authors conclude tentatively that there has been an impact of the insect on seed output, though this would not be sufficient to control the weed. Although measuring the impact of biological control agents in the field is fraught with difficulties, the asymmetrical designs recently proposed for environmental impact assessment may represent a solution.

AN - 17189791; 4469982 AB - Native vegetation near Hobart in Tasmania was investigated to determine whether it was being invaded by the recently introduced large earth bumblebee, Bombus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758). This species was found to be established in high numbers in a variety of vegetation types from coastal heath, through sclerophyll forest, and subalpine shrubberies up to an altitude of 1100 m. Hence, it has the potential to spread through much of Tasmania and temperate, mesic regions of mainland Australia. It is highly polylectic, foraging on at least 66 native plant species from 21 families. While the most heavily visited species produced abundant nectar, the lack of predation on this species also allowed it to forage economically on small flowers in clusters. This foraging profile overlapped with those of all anthophilous insect families, all bee subgenera, and all species of nectarivorous birds which were encountered. Therefore, B. terrestris has the potential to compete with most native anthophiles and commercial honeybees. As it forages from some plant taxa which are not visited by the European honeybee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758, this species is impacting on plant-pollinator relationships which have previously been free from the effects of exotic bees.

During the early wet season, however, fires that occur after the new grass population has emerged can cause catastrophic population crashes. We examined savanna plots that had been burnt in this way, and compared them with adjacent unburnt plots. We found that Sorghum densities in the burnt plots were lower on average by a factor of 10, but that some fires had reduced the density only to one-third of the unburnt plots. It is not clear whether these differences relate directly to site or seasonal factors, or to differences in the way the burning was carried out. Other vegetation components responded to the fires differently: forbs (dicotyledonous herbs) increased in cover, while perennial grasses, woody plants, and overall species richness, were not significantly affected. The amount of leaf litter declined. A population model for Sorghum based on the demography of unburnt populations predicted that they should recover from a wet season burn, taking 7-16 years to return to normal densities. However, the actual field populations did not seem to be recovering, suggesting that wet season fires not only lower densities, but may also fundamentally change population processes in these annual grasses.

Although the major subunit of TCP is encoded by the tcpA gene, the formation and function of the pilus assembly require the products of a number of other genes located on a large DNA region referred to as the TCP pathogenicity island, which includes the tcp and acf gene clusters (73). The ctxAB operon, which encodes the A and B subunits of CT, is part of a larger genetic element originally termed the CTX genetic element (104). Recent studies have shown that the CTX genetic element corresponds to the genome of CTX Phi , a lysogenic filamentous bacteriophage (144), and that propagation of CTX Phi may be associated with the origination of novel toxigenic V. cholerae strains from nontoxigenic progenitors (32). The V. cholerae genome has also been found to contain a distinctive class of integrons, which are gene expression elements that acquire open reading frames (ORFs) and convert them to functional genes (80). This permits the bacteria to entrap genes from other microorganisms and thus constitutes a mechanism for the clustering and spread of pathogenic genes as well as genes for other biochemical functions. In agreement with these recent findings from genetic analysis of V. cholerae, molecular epidemiological surveillance of cholera in areas of endemic infection has also revealed temporal changes in the properties of toxigenic V. cholerae and a continual emergence of new epidemic clones which often replace existing clones (33-37, 89, 121). However, the ecology of toxigenic V. cholerae, which maintains the seasonal pattern of epidemics and supports the emergence of new epidemic clones, has not been adequately explained. The purpose of this review is to summarize available information on the epidemiology, genetics, and ecology of toxigenic V. cholerae and to propose a model for the seasonal pattern of cholera outbreaks and the emergence of new epidemic strains. Special emphasis is placed on compiling scientific data obtained from the different aspects of cholera studies and providing an insight into the possible evolutionary significance of V. cholerae virulence factors being encoded by accessory genetic elements.

Their quality is questionable. As longer time series of precipitation records are available, the observed series of inflows to Lake Eyre can be extended with the help of a rainfall-runoff model. Further reconstruction of the inflow series can be achieved by examining local evidence or with the help of proxy data. However, the limitations of these extensions and reconstructions of inflows are severe. The inflows to Lake Eyre could be considered one of the most convincing manifestations of hydrological uncertainty. However, it is apparent that major flooding episodes in the Lake Eyre Basin are most often associated with La Nina phases of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The paper presents a hydrological description of the Lake Eyre Basin and large-scale contemporary and palaeo climatic patterns which affect the water balance of the catchment. A simple water balance model has been constructed to determine storages of the lake when annual evaporation reaches equilibrium with annual runoff.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Analysis of Clinical and Environmental Strains of Nontoxigenic Vibrio cholerae for Susceptibility to CTX Phi : Molecular Basis for Origination of New Strains with Epidemic Potential AN - 17138933; 4439403 AB - Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains are lysogens of CTX Phi , a filamentous phage which encodes cholera toxin. The receptor for CTX Phi for invading V. cholerae cells is the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the genes for which reside in a larger genetic element, the TCP pathogenicity island. We analyzed 146 CTX-negative strains of V. cholerae O1 or non-O1 isolated from patients or surface waters in five different countries for the presence of the TCP pathogenicity island, the regulatory gene toxR, and the CTX Phi attachment sequence attRS, as well as for susceptibility of the strains to CTX Phi , to investigate the molecular basis for the emergence of new clones of toxigenic V. cholerae. DNA probe or PCR assays for tcpA, tcpI, acfB, toxR, and attRS revealed that 6.85% of the strains, all of which belonged to the O1 serogroup, carried the TCP pathogenicity island, toxR, and multiple copies of attRS, whereas the remaining 93.15% of the strains were negative for TCP but positive for either one or both or neither of toxR and attRS. An analysis of the strains for susceptibility to CTX Phi , using a genetically marked derivative of the phage CTX-Km Phi , showed that all TCP-positive CTX-negative strains and 1 of 136 TCP-negative strains were infected by the phage either in vitro or in the intestines of infant mice. The phage genome integrated into the chromosome of infected V. cholerae O1 cells forming stable lysogens. Comparative analysis of rRNA gene restriction patterns revealed that the lysogens derived from nontoxigenic progenitors were either closely related to or distinctly different from previously described clones of toxigenic V. cholerae. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of lysogenic conversion of naturally occurring nontoxigenic V. cholerae strains by CTX Phi . The results of this study further indicated that strains belonging to the O1 serogroup of V. cholerae are more likely to possess the TCP pathogenicity island and hence to be infected by CTX Phi , leading to the origination of potential new epidemic clones.

In this study, water samples from several Minnesota ponds were examined for ability to induce these malformations. Samples from sites with high number of reported malformations were compared to water sources with unaffected frog populations. Experiments showed that water from affected sites could cause mortality and malformation in Xenopus laevis embryos, and was dose dependent. When passed through a carbon filter, the effects were reduced or eliminated, leading to the conclusion that the causal factor is not an infectious organism nor ion concentrations nor metals, but some other unknown agent.

The cause of the majority of human tumors has been attributed to exposure to environmental carcinogens, pollutants, pesticides, drugs, and tobacco products. Nutritional deficiencies can increase the susceptibility to developing cancer. In this study, the inhibitory aspect of curcumin and a combination of curcumin and isoflavonoids were studied in estrogen-receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative human breast cancer cells exposed to DDT and the environmental pollutants 4-nonylphenol and 4-octylphenol. The study found that a combination of curcumin and isoflavonoids was able to inhibit the induced growth of ER-positive cells up to 95%, suggesting that the combinations of natural plant compounds may have a preventive and therapeutic application in breast cancer.

Some chemicals used in farming and gardening have estrogenic and antiandrogenic hormone disrupting effects. A significant increase in cryptorchidism was found among sons of women who worked in gardening. No increased risk was found among sons of male gardeners and farmers.

AN - 70037743; 9808756 AB - Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a major substrate for protein kinase C, is distributed in a variety of cells. It has been reported that phosphorylation of MARCKS at serines 152 and 156 according to the numbering of rat brain MARCKS can be used as an indicator for protein kinase C activation in intact cells. To detect the activation of protein kinase C in vivo, we produced a specific antibody against MARCKS phosphorylated at serines 152 and 156. We synthesized a phosphopeptide which contained phosphoserines 152 and 156 and prepared the antibody specific for this phosphopeptide. Immunoblot analysis with both purified MARCKS and the cytosol fraction from rat brain revealed that the antibody reacted only with MARCKS phosphorylated by protein kinase C. The antibody was suitable for immunoblot analysis and immunostaining with cultured human coronary artery smooth muscle cells. Phosphorylation of MARCKS was increased about eightfold by the treatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a protein kinase C activator. Furthermore, treatment of the cells with endothelin-1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha increased phosphorylation of MARCKS. Interestingly, phosphorylation of MARCKS was clearly observed in smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic lesion of subjects at autopsy. These results suggest that the antibody is useful for examination of the activation of protein kinase C in vascular smooth muscle cells in vivo. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.

National Postsecondary Student Aid Study: 1995-96. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62481497; ED425684 AB - This report examines the characteristics and first-year behaviors of beginning postsecondary students entering public 2-year, public 4-year, and private, not-for-profit 4-year institutions of higher education, based on data derived from the 1995-96 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. The report begins with an essay that describes the characteristics of beginning students in each sector. Among findings are the following: (1) public 2-year institution entrants are more likely than those entering 4-year institutions to be older, have independent financial aid status, plan to complete a lower level of postsecondary education, and have lower scores on college admission tests; (2) freshmen entering private not-for-profit 4-year institutions are more likely that those at 4-year public institutions to have families with higher incomes, to have higher college admission test scores, to attend full-time, and to have more and differently packaged financial aid; and (3) freshmen at 2-year institutions are more likely to interrupt their enrollment before the end of their first year. The essay is followed by a compendium of tables that provides comprehensive information about enrollment, academic activity, background characteristics, financial aid, employment, educational plans, life goals, institutional involvement, and community involvement.

E.D. Tabs. AN - 62476333; ED424848 AB - This report presents enrollment data for four-year and two-year postsecondary institutions that were eligible for Title IV federal financial aid in 1996. Data were obtained from the 1996 fall enrollment survey. Survey findings are presented in five major sections: (1) characteristics of enrolled students; (2) types of institutions attended; (3) attendance status; (4) changes in enrollment, 1992-96; and (5) enrollment by state. Section 1 includes data for all postsecondary institutions, while Sections 2 through 5 focus on degree-granting institutions. A highlights section identifies key findings such as the following: in 1996, 14.8 million students were enrolled in the nation's 6,404 Title IV-eligible postsecondary institutions; black students comprised 11 percent of undergraduates at degree-granting institutions, but only 7.2 percent of graduate students; among all students, 77.4 percent attended public degree-granting institutions; overall, 59.2 percent of undergraduate students and 42.3 percent of graduate students attended school full-time; and between 1995 and 1996 there was a decline in enrollment at public four-year institutions and an increase in enrollment at public two-year institutions. Detailed statistical tables for degree-granting institutions are presented in the first four appendices. The fifth appendix provides technical notes on study methodology.

Japan's place in contemporary East Asia can be clarified by using the term "colonial modernity" to refer to Japan's early-20th-century history & the term "postcoloniality" to refer to the legacy of the colonial project in the culture of metropolitan society. In representations of Japan's contemporary Others, notions of gendered difference interact with representations of ethnic & cultural difference. Contemporary attempts to deal with these issues are placed in the context of several decades of feminist activism in Japan. 103 References. Adapted from the source document.

The species exhibited a circadian colour change, from green at dawn to blood-red during the day and again green at dusk. The present new species is, therefore, named Euglena shafiqii. It is distinguished from the cogenus by the structure and occurrence of Z-tubules, chromatophores, nucleus shape and by a coloured pulsating structure at the posterior end. A stress induced transformation from an elongated egg to a round shape is also peculiar. The light absorption spectra of the pigment showed lambda maxima at 416, 441, 467 and 485 nm. The red bloom was found in the part of the lake basins which receives waste effluents. JF - Water, Air, & Soil Pollution AU - Shafiq-Ur-Rehman, AD - P.O.

There is an abundance of literature on this topic, and Moeller has provided a great service by compiling a reasonably exhaustive list, often from obscure or difficult to obtain sources. In his review, Moeller (1997, p. 928) states, "In conclusion, this review provides clear evidence for a negative relationship between developmental instability and fitness components." Since other recent less exhaustive reviews on this topic have found only a weak, heterogeneous, and somewhat equivocal relationship between stability and fitness, it is worthwhile to examine in more detail the evidence for the negative relationship discovered by Moeller `1997). Before commenting specifically on Moeller's review, it is necessary to emphasize a critical issue in developmental stability studies. A significant problem with many of the studies investigating a relationship between stability and fitness components is that comparisons are made at the population, rather than the individual, level. That is, the relationship is tested by means of a correlation (or regression) analysis of population means of the levels of developmental stability and the fitness component. As a result, there is no way of determining whether the relationship holds at the individual level, that is, whether stable individuals are more "fit" than unstable ones, which is obviously crucial.

FtsH, a membrane-bound AAA-type metalloprotease, degrades sigma super(32) and has a central role in the control of the sigma super(32) level. The ftsH null mutant was isolated, and establishment of the sigma ftsH mutant allowed us to investigate control mechanisms of the stability and the activity of sigma super(32) separately in vivo. Loss of the FtsH function caused marked stabilization and consequent accumulation of sigma super(32) ( Delta 20-fold of the wild type), leading to the impaired downregulation of the level of sigma super(32). Surprisingly, however, sigma ftsH cells express heat shock proteins only two- to threefold higher than wild-type cells, and they also show almost normal heat shock response upon temperature upshift. These results indicate the presence of a control mechanism that downregulates the activity of sigma super(32) when it is accumulated. Overproduction of DnaK/J reduces the activity of sigma super(32) in sigma ftsH cells without any detectable changes in the level of sigma super(32), indicating that the DnaK chaperone system is responsible for the activity control of sigma super(32) in vivo. In addition, CbpA, an analogue of DnaJ, was demonstrated to have overlapping functions with DnaJ in both the activity and the stability control of sigma super(32).

There are aspects of both the emerging biological effects profile and the exposure characteristics of EMFs, however, that raise unique problems for risk assessment, but there has been no comprehensive discussion of the risk-assessment methodology. Several scientific issues relevant to assessing potential cancer risk from exposure to EMFs are elucidated and discussed, focusing on six key topic areas: variability between different human populations or individuals, extrapolation between animal cancer tests and humans, choice of an appropriate dose metric, doseresponse assessment and risk characterization, use of nontumor response data in risk assessment, and use of epidemiology in risk assessment. Recommendations are proposed for selecting an appropriate risk-assessment strategy for EMFs.

The survey design is outlined, and the laboratory analytical methods used and the demographic and socioeconomic covariates are described. The extensive data are tabulated, which show that, while exposure to Pb in the US continues to decline, 4.4% of children aged 15 yr still have blood Pb levels of health concern. The data suggest that some population groups continue to be disproportionately at higher risk for elevated Pb exposure. These groups include people with low income, people of non-Hispanic black race, and people who live in older housing.

It is argued that HCB should be included in the toxic equivalency factor concept applied to dioxin-like compounds because it fulfills all of the parameters. Wile HCB has an affinity for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor that is 10,000 times less than TCDD, it is in the same range as the mono-ortho-substituted PCBs. Using this relative potency, it is estimated that HCB could add 1060% to the total toxic equivalents in human milk samples in most countries.

Air, total surface, and dislodgeable residues from carpet and surrogate toy dosimeters were collected, and urinary biomonitoring was conducted. Results showed that airborne concentrations decreased to pretreatment levels after 7 d, and all air concentrations were at least fourfold less than the proposed 24-h continuous-exposure guideline of 10 mu g/m super(3). Chlorpyrifos deposition appeared to be minimal, and bioavailable, or dislodgeable, residues were negligible. For children, the conservatively estimated total absorbed dose ranged 0.262.1 mu g/kg/d, or 0.262.1% of the acute no-observed-effect level for plasma cholinesterase inhibition.

The air-quality measures were the 1- and 8-h maximum PM sub(10) and ozone, and the 24-h mean PM sub(10). The subjects were 24 nonsmoking pediatric asthmatics living in nonsmoking households. The strength of the associations was compared between the different averaging times, subjects having varying magnitudes of asthma symptom severity during follow-up, and asthmatics taking and not taking anti-inflammatory medications. Results showed that 1- and 8-h maximum PM sub(10) had larger effects than the 24-h mean. More-frequently symptomatic children were affected strongest by the current-day PM sub(10) maxima, whereas the less-frequently symptomatic children were most strongly impacted by the current-day O sub(3). For less-symptomatic children not taking anti-inflammatory medication, the largest effects were observed for the 5-d, 8-h PM sub(10) and for the current-day 1-h O sub(3). The overall results suggest that current-day hourly peak PM sub(10), as well as multiple-day cumulative average exposures using 8-h PM sub(10) maxima, may be more informative in explaining observations of adverse particle effects on acute asthma severity that current or multiple-day 24-h average PM sub(10) exposures.

A modified commercial vacuum cleaner, called the high-volume surface sampler (HVS3), has been developed for collecting carpet-dust samples, but its use is expensive and labor-intensive. Results are presented from a pilot study in which pesticide-concentration data obtained from used domestic vacuum-cleaner bags were compared with those obtained using the HVS3. Results showed no clear difference in the quality of the pesticide, PAH, and PCB concentration data for the two dust-collection methods. For many of the pesticides and for total PAHs, concentrations in the HVS3 sample exceeded those of the used-bag sample only at the upper end of the concentration range.

In adolescents aged 1121 yr living in Mexico City and surrounding suburbs, blood and bone Pb levels were measured and related to Pb determinants. Questionnaires were used to collect information on known risk factors, such as occupational exposure, use of Pb-glazed ceramics, use of eyeliner with kohl, exposure to Pb paint, and exposure to Pb in air. Results showed that the bone and blood Pb concentrations varied according to several environmental parameters. Significantly higher bone Pb levels were associated with attendance at public school, being born in Mexico City, high traffic density, greater amounts of time spent outdoors, and having a mother who smoked. Higher blood Pb levels were associated with males, being born in Mexico City, greater amounts of time spent outdoors, past use and current use of Pb-glazed ceramics, having painted the house in the past year, current smoking, current alcohol consumption, use of eyeliner, and higher levels of Pb in tibia bone.

Villages afflicted in the past continue to be afflicted today, while nonendemic villages and towns, even those sometimes located nearby, continue to be BEN-free. Two hypotheses have been proposed based on the clinical data, involving ochratoxin A and other mycotoxins, and the location of Pliocene lignites, respectively, which are detailed, and other possible environmental factors are considered, such as aristolochic acid and a viral etiology.

The major health issues remaining in the mining industry are elucidated and discussed. These include the risks imposed by: darkness and the use of heavy machinery, dust exposure, air-pollutant exposure, noise, and repetitive motion. Safety issues are also addressed in the global market, as many US mining companies have shifted operations overseas as depletion, substitution of cheaper materials, high processing and transportation costs, changing legislation, and social factors have made domestic mines unprofitable.

Because of this, much of the research on its biology and host preferences has been done outside Australia. This fact has the potential to produce misleading results as the insect may be forced to choose less preferred hosts, if normally preferred species are unavailable. In part of its native range, in Tasmania, oviposition of G. scutellatus was recorded on seven naturally co-occurring Eucalyptus species that were planted in even aged, replicated plots. Among the seven species were the economically important species, E. globulus and E. viminalis, which have been previously reported as highly preferred hosts. Within plots, oviposition occurred most commonly on three peppermint species (E. pulchella, E. tenuiramis and E. amygdalina) and was rare or absent on the other species (E. globulus, E. viminalis, E. ovata and E. obliqua). Of the peppermints, E. pulchella was the most preferred species for oviposition at this site. A low percentage of peppermints in mixed forest (containing these seven species) immediately adjacent to plots was always matched by low numbers of G. scutellatus eggs within plots; but high percentages of peppermints outside plots could either be matched by high or low numbers of eggs within plots. In the discussion, we suggest that previous studies of G. scutellatus host range may have been limited because the insect was not exposed to hosts it naturally encounters.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62468943; ED424831 AB - This report uses data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93) to compare full-time faculty who, in the fall of 1992, were in the first 7 years of their academic career with full-time faculty with 8 or more years of full-time college experience. Among key findings are the following: the new cohort disproportionately represented fields outside the liberal arts; females constituted 41 percent of the new faculty and 28 percent of the senior cohort; racial/ethnic minorities constituted 17 percent of the new cohort and 12 percent of the senior cohort; new faculty did not assume their current positions until an average of 6 years after earning their highest degree, as compared to 2 to 3 years for senior faculty; and 33 percent of the new cohort were in nontenure-eligible positions, as compared to 16 percent of the senior faculty. Individual sections of the report present tables, graphs, and text that address the following: (1) identifying new entrants to full-time faculty; (2) size and distribution of new entrants by institutional type and program area; (3) demographic characteristics of new entrants; (4) educational background and work history of new entrants; and (5) appointment characteristics and satisfaction levels of new entrants. Appended are technical notes and standard error tables. (DB) AU - Finkelstein, Martin J. AU - Seal, Robert AU - Schuster, Jack H.

AN - 21259014; 11702173 AB - Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is a free radical-related process that in biologic systems may occur under enzymatic control, e.g., for the generation of lipid-derived inflammatory mediators, or nonenzymatically. This latter form is associated mostly with cellular damage as a result of oxidative stress, which also involves cellular antioxidants in this process. This article focuses on the relevance of two LPO products, malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), to the pathophysiology of human disease. The former has been studied in human serum samples of hepatitis C virus-infected adults and human immunodeficiency virus-infected children. In these two cases it is shown that the specific assay of serum MDA is useful for the clinical management of these patients. The presence of MDA in subretinal fluid of patients with retinal detachment suggests the involvement of oxidative stress in this process. Moreover, we were able to report the dependence of this involvement on the degree of myopia in these patients. The assay of MDA contents in the peripheral nerves of rats fed a chronic alcohol-containing diet or diabetic mice also confirms the pathophysiologic role of oxidative stress in these experimental models. In these two cases, associated with an increase in tissue LPO products content, we detected a decrease of glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity in peripheral nerve, among other modifications. We have demonstrated that in vitro HNE is able to inhibit GSHPx activity in an apparent competitive manner, and that glutathione may partially protect and/or prevent this inactivation. The accumulation of LPO products in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease has also been described, and it is on the basis of this observation that we have tried to elucidate the role of oxidative stress and cellular antioxidants in beta-amyloid-induced apoptotic cell death of rat embryo neurons. Finally, we discuss the possible role of the observed vascular effects of HNE on human arteries.

AN - 21258734; 11702174 AB - Occupational exposures to mineral particles cause pneumoconiosis and other diseases, including cancer. Recent studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play a key role in the mechanisms of disease initiation and progression following exposure to these particles. ROS-induced primary stimuli result in the increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and other mediators, promoting events that appear to be important in the progression of cell injury and pulmonary disease. We have provided evidence supporting the hypothesis that inhalation of insoluble particles such as asbestos, agricultural dusts, coal, crystalline silica, and inorganic dust can be involved in facilitating multiple pathways for persistent generation of ROS, which may lead to a continuum of inflammation leading to progression of disease. This article briefly summarizes some of the recent findings from our laboratories with emphasis on the molecular events by which ROS are involved in promoting pneumoconiosis and carcinogenesis.

AN - 21257606; 11702170 AB - Acute inhalation of ozone is associated with a inflammatory response characterized by the accumulation of macrophages at sites of tissue injury. These cells, along with resident alveolar epithelial cells, become activated and release cytotoxic and proinflammatory mediators, such as nitric oxide (.NO), that we speculate contribute to toxicity. In these studies we analyzed mechanisms regulating increased .NO synthase activity in lung macrophages and type II cells after ozone inhalation. Brief exposure of rats to ozone (2 ppm for 3 hr) resulted in an increase in .NO production by alveolar macrophages as well as type II cells in response to the inflammatory mediators lipopolysaccharide and interferon gamma. These effects were apparently due to increased expression of inducible .NO synthase (iNOS) protein and mRNA, which were evident in vitro and in situ in histologic sections. .NO production and iNOS protein expression by both macrophages and epithelial cells were blocked by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an agent that inhibits activity of nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-kappa B). Cells from ozone-treated animals were less sensitive to the effects of PDTC than cells from control animals. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we measured NF-kappa B binding activity in nuclear extracts of cells from control and ozone-exposed animals. Treatment of rats with ozone resulted in a time-dependent increase in NF-kappa B binding activity in both cell types, reaching a maximum in cells isolated 12 to 24 hr after ozone inhalation. Taken together, these data suggest that changes in the activity of NF-kappa B signaling are important in the response of lung macrophages and type II epithelial cells to cytokines after ozone inhalation.

AN - 21249621; 11703740 AB - The body first encounters deleterious inhaled substances, such as allergens, industrial particles, pollutants, and infectious agents, at the airway epithelium. When this occurs, the epithelium and its resident inflammatory cells respond defensively by increasing production of cytokines, mucus, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). As inflammation in the airway increases, additional infiltrating cells increase the level of these products. Recent interest has focused on ROS/RNS as potential modulators of the expression of inflammation-associated genes important to the pathogenesis of various respiratory diseases. ROS/RNS appear to play a variety of roles that lead to changes in expression of genes such as interleukin-6 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1. By controlling this regulation, the reactive species can serve as exogenous stimuli, as intercellular signaling molecules, and as modulators of the redox state in epithelial cells. Unraveling the molecular mechanisms affected by ROS/RNS acting in these capacities should aid in the understanding of how stimulated defense mechanisms within the airway can lead to disease.

The physical structure in the upper 500 m included a warm core eddy in the north, a cold core feature at 46 degree 30'S, and two major fronts, the Subtropical Convergence and the Subantarctic Front, between 49 degree S and 50 degree 30'S. In the region between the warm core eddy and the southern fronts, Subantarctic Mode Water was capped by a high salinity layer with a subsurface salinity maximum. Surface nitrate increased from zero in the north to more than 15 mu M in the south in a series of steps across surface fronts associated with mesoscale features. Phytoplankton column biomass, estimated column production (based on P vs I incubations) and estimated mixed layer growth rates were moderate throughout the transect (typically 30 mg Chl.a m super(-2), 300 mgC m super(-2) d super(-1), and 0.27 d super(-1), respectively). Surface nitrate seems unlikely to be seasonally depleted south of 46 degree 30'S, and this region shows characteristics similar to other high nutrient but low chlorophyll regions. Episodic wind mixing appears to play an important role in summer resupply of nitrate to the mixed layer in the central third of the transect. Over the southern half of the transect, changes in surface pH and derived pCO sub(2) as a function of nitrate concentrations were consistent with DIC uptake at Redfield ratios. The derived surface pCO sub(2) values showed undersaturation by 50-100 mu atm throughout the transect.

At flow rates of 10, 20, and 60 ml/min from one nostril to the other, with the soft palate closed, the N sub(2)O reached a steady-state rate of absorption in 5-15 min. The mean superficial capillary blood flow (n = 5) calculated from solubility and the steady-state rate of N sub(2)O absorption ranged from 13.3 to 15.9 ml/min. The relation between absorption of N sub(2)O in the nose and capillary blood flow fits a ventilation-perfusion model used by others to describe uptake of inert, soluble gases in the rat nose. By contrast, the rate of uptake of NO gas, which is chemically reactive, is 25-31 times as great as predicted by just its blood-to-air partition coefficient. Exogenous NO (16.9 parts/million) did not induce nasal vasodilation as measured with laser Doppler and N sub(2)O absorption methods. The difference between the measured rate of uptake of NO and the rate of uptake attributable to its partition coefficient in blood at the rate of blood flow calculated from N sub(2)O uptake is probably due to chemical reaction of NO in mucous secretions, nasal tissues, and capillary blood.

The largest marsupial carnivore in historic times, it was persecuted for alleged sheep killing and became extinct before its ecology was documented. We have reconstructed the likely prey size and the hunting and killing methods of the thylacine by comparing canine tooth strength and limb bone length ratios with those of extant marsupial and placental carnivores. The thylacine was probably a pounce-pursuit predator of fairly open habitats, which killed medium-sized prey (1-5 kg) that were small relative to its body size (15-30 kg), with a crushing, penetrating bite. The trophic niche of the thylacine was similar to that of smaller canids such as the coyote Canis latrans (rather than the wolf C. lupus), but ecomorphological convergence of the thylacine with canids was superficial.

The lung often is exposed to hyperoxia in disease states and hyperoxia generates a mixture of reactive oxygen species. In vivo and in vitro exposure of rat lung and alveolar type II cells, respectively, increases gene expression of both the alpha -1 and beta -1 subunits of the sodium pump. In contrast to the primary type II cells, several type II cell lines did not increase sodium pump gene expression with hyperoxia, but the renal tubular epithelial MDCK cell line did. Using promoter-reporter constructs transfected into MDCK cells, hyperoxia did not markedly increase transcription of the alpha -1 subunit but doubled transcription of the beta -1 subunit gene. Using 5'-deletion constructs, the region required for the beta -1 increase was localized to a 40-base pair region from -44/-84. The hyperoxic responsiveness of this region was confirmed using constructs with one or two copies of this region placed in minimal promoter-luciferase reporters. This 5' promoter region contains a consensus binding sequence for SP-1, a basal transcription factor but not for binding of other known transcription factors. Thus, hyperoxia induces Na,K-ATPase beta -1 promoter transcription, likely acting through a novel mechanism.

Recently, increasing attention has focused on NO as a possible mediator of the severe hypotension and impaired vasoreactivity characteristic of circulatory failure. Given the ubiquitous and complex role of NO in biologic systems, inhibition of NO synthesis in experimental and clinical studies of shock has yielded mixed, sometimes contradictory, results. Although overproduction of NO in the vasculature may result in systemic vasodilatation, NO synthesis has also clearly been shown to have a beneficial role in regulating organ perfusion and mediating cytotoxicity. In this review, the pathophysiologic importance of NO in septic shock and hemorrhagic shock is discussed, and novel therapeutic strategies for manipulation of NO formation are examined.

Nitric oxide ( times NO) exerts many diverse effects on vascular tone, affecting neurotransmission and cellular cytotoxicity/communication. Our laboratory and others have documented a proinflammatory role for times NO in ocular inflammation. Uveitis, which is an inflammation of the highly vascular uveal tract in the eye, is a debilitating condition that can lead to visual impairment and blindness. It is characterized by acute, recurrent, or persistent inflammation with disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier and is accompanied by protein leakage and leukocyte infiltration into the aqueous humor and anterior chamber. Systemic injection of endotoxin into mice and rats, or intraocular injection of endotoxin into mice, rats, and rabbits induces acute uveitis, which clinically and histologically resembles acute anterior uveitis in humans. These models facilitate the study of pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to ocular inflammation. In addition to times NO, superoxide anion radicals (O sub(2) super( times -)), and peroxynitrite (ONOO super(-)), the products of the reaction between times NO and O sub(2) super( times -), are also implicated in uveitis. The role of peroxynitrite in ocular inflammation is still largely unknown. Characterization of the roles of these important uveitic mediators in the ocular inflammatory response will provide information critical to the understanding of the pathogenesis of intraocular inflammation so that more effective therapeutic intervention(s) can be developed.

The exposed biosurfaces of plants and animals are directly exposed to these pollutant stresses. Not surprisingly, living organisms have developed complex integrated extracellular and intracellular defense systems against stresses related to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS, RNS), including O sub(3) and NO sub(2). Plant and animal epithelial surfaces and respiratory tract surfaces contain antioxidants that would be expected to provide defense against environmental stress caused by ambient ROS and RNS, thus ameliorating their injurious effects on more delicate underlying cellular constituents. Parallelisms among these surfaces with regard to their antioxidant constituents and environmental oxidants are presented. The reactive substances at these biosurfaces not only represent an important protective system against oxidizing environments, but products of their reactions with ROS/RNS may also serve as biomarkers of environmental oxidative stress. Moreover, the reaction products may also induce injury to underlying cells or cause cell activation, resulting in production of proinflammatory substances including cytokines. In this review we discuss antioxidant defense systems against environmental toxins in plant cell wall/apoplastic fluids, dead keratinized cells/interstitial fluids of stratum corneum (the outermost skin layer), and mucus/respiratory tract lining fluids.

The causes and execution mechanisms of apoptosis are not completely understood. Nitric oxide (NO) and its congeners, oxidative stress, Ca super(2+), proteases, nucleases, and mitochondria are considered mediators of apoptosis. Recent findings strongly suggest that mitochondria contain a factor or factors that upon release from the destabilized organelles, induce apoptosis. We have found that oxidative stress-induced release of Ca super(2+) from mitochondria followed by Ca super(2+) reuptake (Ca super(2+) cycling) causes destabilization of mitochondria and apoptosis. The protein product of the protooncogene bcl-2 protects mitochondria and thereby prevents apoptosis. We have also found that NO and its congeners can induce Ca super(2+) release from mitochondria. Thus, nitrogen monoxide ( times NO) binds to cytochrome oxidase, blocks respiration, and thereby causes mitochondrial deenergization and Ca super(2+) release. Peroxynitrite (ONOO super(-)), on the other hand, causes Ca super(2+) release from mitochondria by stimulating a specific Ca super(2+) release pathway. This pathway requires oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD super(+)) hydrolysis to adenosine diphosphate ribose and nicotinamide. NAD super(+) hydrolysis is only possible when some vicinal thiols are cross-linked. ONOO super(-) is able to oxidize them. Our findings suggest that NO and its congeners can induce apoptosis by destabilizing mitochondria via deenergization and/or by inducing a specific Ca super(2+) release followed by Ca super(2+) cycling.

Initiation of the respiratory burst appears to depend on activation of protein kinase activity, whereas protein phosphatases might involved in termination of the burst. The involvement of protein kinase C was suggested by inhibition by bisindolylmaleimide I (GF 109203X), a relatively specific inhibitor. KN-62, an inhibitor of calcium-calmodulin protein kinase II, also partly inhibited the respiratory burst stimulated by ADP and phorbol esters. The role of protein phosphatases in termination of the ADP-stimulated respiratory burst of AM was examined with calyculin A (CA) (25-75 nM) or okadaic acid (OA) (1-5 mu M), two inhibitors of protein phosphatase 1 and 2a (PP1; PP2a). A dose-dependent prolongation of the respiratory burst was observed in the presence of these inhibitors. CA and OA also markedly enhanced the rate of superoxide production stimulated by ADP, consistent with involvement of PP1/PP2a in regulating both the rate of activation and timing of termination. Treatment of AM with cyclosporin A (CsA) (1-50 mu M), an inhibitor of the calcium-dependent protein phosphatase 2b (PP2b), stimulated superoxide production by itself and significantly prolonged the duration of ADP-stimulated superoxide production. CsA, however, did not increase the ADP-stimulated rate of superoxide production. Thus, PP1/PP2a appear to be the primary phosphatases for controlling the intensity of the respiratory burst during receptor-elicited superoxide production in AM, whereas PP1/PP2a and PP2b play a role in turning off the respiratory burst.

Genetically engineered animal models have been used as a tool for understanding the function of various antioxidant enzymes in cellular defense mechanisms against various types of oxidant tissue injury. Transgenic mice overexpressing three isoforms of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and the cellular glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx-1) in various tissues show an increased tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion heart and brain injury, hyperoxia, cold-induced brain edema, adriamycin, and paraquat toxicity. These results have provided for the first time direct evidence demonstrating the importance of each of these antioxidant enzymes in protecting the animals against the injury resulting from these insults, as well as the effect of an enhanced level of antioxidant in ameliorating the oxidant tissue injury. To evaluate further the nature of these enzymes in antioxidant defense, gene knockout mice deficient in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and GSHPx-1 have also been generated in our laboratory. These mice developed normally and showed no marked pathologic changes under normal physiologic conditions. In addition, a deficiency in these genes had no effects on animal survival under hyperoxia. However, these knockout mice exhibited a pronounced susceptibility to paraquat toxicity and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Furthermore, female mice lacking CuZnSOD also displayed a marked increase in postimplantation embryonic lethality. These animals should provide a useful model for uncovering the identity of ROS that participate in the pathogenesis of various clinical disorders and for defining the role of each antioxidant enzyme in cellular defense against oxidant-mediated tissue injury.

PTPs are sensitive targets of oxidative stress and may be inhibited by treatments that induce intracellular oxidation. The effects of PTP inactivation under oxidizing conditions are amplified by the redox-linked activation of key protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), thus leading to the initiation of phosphotyrosine-signaling cascades that are no longer under normal receptor control. These ligand-independent signals result in the accumulation of protein phosphotyrosine, the generation of second messengers, the activation of downstream kinases, and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF- Kappa B). In this review we consider the relative contribution of oxidative stress to the effects of PTP inhibition by vanadium-based compounds in lymphocytes. Although the inactivation of PTPs can lead to NF- Kappa B mobilization in the presence of antioxidants, the other effects noted appear to require a threshold of intracellular oxidation. The combined effects of oxidative stress on signal transduction cascades reflect a synergy between the initiation of signals by PTKs and the loss of control by PTPs. This suggests a mechanism by which environmental agents that cause oxidative stress may alter the course of cellular responses through induction or enhancement of signaling cascades leading to functional changes or cell death.

We have shown that the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) isoform is continuously expressed in human airway epithelium at mRNA and protein/activity levels in vivo. However, removal of epithelial cells from the in vivo airway environment resulted in rapid loss of iNOS expression, which suggested that expression is dependent upon conditions and/or factors present in the airway. To investigate the mechanisms responsible for maintenance of expression in vivo, we evaluated regulation of iNOS expression in primary human airway epithelial cells. Interferon- gamma (IFN- gamma ) was sufficient for induction of iNOS in primary human airway epithelial cells (HAEC) in vitro, and interleukin-4 (IL-4) potentiated the expression through stabilization of iNOS mRNA. The IFN- gamma /IL-4-induced iNOS expression in HAEC was delayed in onset and prolonged with expression up to 1 week. Furthermore, transfer of overlying culture media [conditioned media (CM)] to other HAEC led to iNOS induction. Interestingly, IFN- gamma /IL-4 induction of iNOS was dependent on new protein synthesis, whereas CM induction of iNOS was not. IFN- gamma and IL-4 activated signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT1 and STAT6) in HAEC, but CM transfer to HAEC produced even higher levels of STAT1 activation than achieved by direct addition of cytokines. Thus, IFN- gamma /IL-4, which occurs in human lung lining fluid, led to iNOS expression in human airway epithelium through production of soluble mediators and stabilization of mRNA.

Reactive oxygen intermediates have been implicated as important in the pathobiochemistry of acute lung injury. The endogenous sources that contribute to the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates in acute lung injury are poorly defined but probably include the molybdenum hydroxylases, NAD(P)H oxidoreductases, the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and arachidonic acid-metabolizing enzymes. Our laboratory has focused, in particular, on the regulation of two of these enzyme systems, xanthine oxidoreductase (XDH/XO) and NAD(P)H oxidase. We observe that gene expression of XDH/XO is regulated in a cell-specific manner and is markedly affected by inflammatory cytokines, steroids, and physiologic events such as hypoxia. Posttranslational processing is also important in regulating XDH/XO activity. More recently, the laboratory has characterized an NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular cells. The cytochrome components of the oxidase, gp91 and p22, appear similar to the components present in phagocytic cells that contribute to their respiratory burst. In human vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, oncostatin M potently induces gp91 expression. We believe that regulation of gp91 is a central controlling factor in expression of the vascular NAD(P)H oxidase. In summary, the studies support the concept that the oxidoreductases of vascular cells are expressed in a highly regulated and self-specific fashion.

Induction of iNOS message occurs in both AM and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) harvested from silica-exposed lungs but is not significantly elevated in lavaged lung tissue. In vitro exposure of AM to silica does not stimulate times NO production or enhance iNOS message. However, treatment of naive AM with conditioned media from BALC harvested from silica-exposed rats does increase iNOS message and times NO production by these AM. The potency of this conditioned medium is dependent on interaction between AM and PMN. In the rat model, a relationship exists between the ability of various dusts to cause PMN recruitment or protein leakage into the alveolar space and the induction of iNOS message in BALC, i.e., silica>coal mine dust>carbonyl iron>titanium dioxide. Similarly, a comparison of BALC from a healthy volunteer, a silica-exposed coal miner with a normal chest radiograph, and a silica-exposed coal miner with an abnormal chest radiograph shows a correlation between pathology and both the level of iNOS message in BALC and the magnitude of times NO-dependent CL from AM. These data suggest that times NO may play a role in silicosis and that human pulmonary phagocytes exhibit enhanced times NO production in response to an inflammatory insult.

In response to various inflammatory stimuli, lung endothelial, alveolar, and airway epithelial cells, as well as activated alveolar macrophages, produce both nitric oxide ( times NO) and superoxide anion radicals (O sub(2) super( times -)). times NO regulates pulmonary vascular and airway tone and plays an important role in lung host defense against various bacteria. However, times NO may be cytotoxic by inhibiting critical enzymes such as mitochondrial aconitase and ribonucleotide reductase, by S-nitrosolation of thiol groups, or by binding to their iron-sulfur centers. In addition, times NO reacts with O sub(2) super( times -) at a near diffusion-limited rate to form the strong oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO super(-)), which can nitrate and oxidize key amino acids in various lung proteins such as surfactant protein A, and inhibit their functions. The presence of ONOO super(-) in the lungs of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome has been demonstrated by measuring levels of nitrotyrosine, the stable product of tyrosine nitration. Various studies have shown that inhalation or intratracheal instillation of various respirable mineral dusts or asbestos fibers increased levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA. In this presentation, we review the evidence for the upregulation of times NO in the lungs of animals exposed to mineral particulates and assess the contribution of reactive nitrogen species in the pathogenesis of the resultant lung injury.

A wide variety of hormones, growth factors, and cytokines modulate cellular tyrosine phosphorylation to transmit signals across the plasma membrane to the nucleus. Recent studies suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) also induce cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation through receptor or nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. To determine whether protein tyrosine phosphorylation by ROS regulates endothelial cell (EC) metabolism and function, we exposed vascular ECs to H sub(2)O sub(2) or H sub(2)O sub(2) plus vanadate. This resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins (M sub(r) 21-200 kDa), as determined by immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies identified increased tyrosine phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (42-44 kDa), paxillin (68 kDa), and FAK (125 kDa) by ROS. An immediate signaling response to increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation by ROS was activation of phospholipases such as A sub(2), C, and D. Suramin pretreatment inhibited ROS stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD), suggesting a role for growth factor receptors in this activation. Further, PLD activation by ROS was attenuated by N-acetylcysteine, indicating that intracellular thiol status is critical to ROS-mediated signal transduction. These results provide evidence that ROS modulate EC signal transduction via a protein tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.

Role of mitochrondrial-derived oxidants AN - 17153888; 4451041 AB - Nuclear factor kappa B (NF- Kappa B) is a transcription factor that regulates expression of several genes coding for inflammatory and immunoregulatory proteins including the neutrophil chemotactic cytokine MIP-2. In previous studies we found that crocidolite asbestos activates the nuclear translocation of NF- Kappa B as well as MIP-2 gene expression in rat alveolar type II cells. Here we report that both crocidolite-induced NF- Kappa B activation of MIP-2 gene expression can be attenuated by the antioxidant tetramethylthiourea, suggesting the dependence of these responses on oxidative stress. Crocidolite exposure of RLE-TN cells also increased production of H sub(2)O sub(2), a response that was inhibited by the mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibitor thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA). TTFA treatment of RLE-6TN cells also inhibited crocidolite-induced nuclear translocation of NF- Kappa B and MIP-2 gene expression. These results indicate crocidolite exposure of rat alveolar type II cells results in increased production of mitochrondrial-derived hydrogen peroxide and that mitochrondrial-derived oxidants contribute to crocidolite activation of NF- Kappa B and increases in MIP-2 gene expression.

Multiple classes of genes are transcriptionally activated by oxidants and are implicated in different phenotypic responses. In the present study, we performed differential mRNA display to elucidate genes that are induced or repressed after exposure of rat lung epithelial (RLE) cells to H sub(2)O sub(2) or crocidolite asbestos, a pathogenic mineral that generates oxidants. After 8 or 24 hr of exposure, RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed, and amplified by polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers to visualize alterations in gene expression. The seven clones obtained were sequenced and encoded the mitochondrial genes, NADH dehydrogenase subunits ND5 and ND6, and 16S ribosomal RNA. Evaluation of their expression by Northern blot analysis revealed increased expression of 16S rRNA after 1 or 2 hr of exposure to H sub(2)O sub(2). At later time periods (4 and 24 hr), mRNA levels of 16S rRNA and NADH dehydrogenase were decreased in H sub(2)O sub(2)-treated RLE cells when compared to sham controls. Crocidolite asbestos caused increases in 16S rRNA levels after 8 hr of exposure, whereas after 24 hr of exposure to asbestos, 16S rRNA levels were decreased in comparison to sham controls. In addition to these oxidants, the nitric oxide generator spermine NONOate caused similar decreases in NADH dehydrogenase mRNA levels after 4 hr of exposure. The present data and previous studies demonstrated that all oxidants examined resulted in apoptosis in RLE cells during the time frame where alterations of mitochondrial gene expression were observed. As the mitochondrion is a major organelle that controls apoptosis, alterations in expression of mitochondrial genes may be involved in the regulation of apoptosis.

Blockage of times NO production by administration of NOS inhibitors prevents or reduces various types of induced inflammation in mice and rats. We have shown that autoimmune MRL-lpr/lpr mice overexpress NOS2 and overproduce times NO in an age-dependent fashion that parallels expression of arthritis, glomerulonephritis, and vasculitis. Blocking times NO production by oral administration of the NOS inhibitor N super(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine reduced the arthritis, glomerulonephritis, and vasculitis, but it did not modify serum anti-DNA antibody levels or glomerular deposition of immune complexes. When mice with genetically disrupted NOS2 were backcrossed to MRL-lpr/lpr mice, the resultant (-/-) mice expressed no NOS2 and produced no times NO, the wild-type (+/+) mice overexpressed NOS2 and overproduced times NO (in comparison to normal, control mice), and the heterozygous (+/-) mice expressed and produced intermediate levels. Nephritis and arthritis in the (-/-) mice were comparable to that in MRL-lpr/lpr mice, but vasculitis was markedly decreased. Levels of anti-DNA antibodies were comparable in all mice, but IgG rheumatoid factor production was markedly reduced in the (-/-) mice. These results of studies in MRL-lpr/lpr mice with genetically disrupted NOS2 highlight the heterogeneity and complexity of the role of NOS2 and times NO in inflammation.

The primer pairs were designed by using the polymorphic base positions within a 310- to 311-bp fragment of the 5' end and upstream control region of the mba gene. The specificity of the assay was confirmed with reference serovars 1, 3, 6, and 14 and by the amplified-fragment sizes (81 bp for mba 1, 262 bp for mba 3, and 193 bp for mba 6). A more sensitive nested PCR was also developed. This involved a first-step PCR, using the primers UMS-125 and UMA226, followed by the nested mba-type PCR described above. This nested PCR enabled the detection and typing of small numbers of U. urealyticum cells, including mixtures, directly in original clinical specimens. By using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR with seven arbitrary primers, we were also able to differentiate the two biovars of U. urealyticum and to identify 13 RAPD-PCR subtypes. By applying these subtyping techniques to clinical samples collected from pregnant women, we established that (i) U. urealyticum is often a persistent colonizer of the lower genital tract from early midtrimester until the third trimester of pregnancy, (ii) mba type 6 was isolated significantly more often (P=0.048) from women who delivered preterm than from women who delivered at term, (iii) no particular ureaplasma subtype(s) was associated with placental infections and/or adverse pregnancy outcomes, and (iv) the ureaplasma subtypes most frequently isolated from women were the same subtypes most often isolated from infected placentas.

A number of factors are thought to play a role in the control process, including production of the specific agrocins 84 and 434, which differ in the spectra of pathogenic strains that they inhibit in vitro. A range of derivatives of strain K84 has been developed with every combination of the three resident plasmids, pAgK84, pAgK434, and pAtK84b, including a plasmid-free strain. These derivatives produced either both, one, or neither of the characterized agrocins 84 and 434 and were isolated by plasmid curing, conjugation, and Tn5 transposon mutagenesis. The ability of the derivative strains to inhibit gall formation on almond roots was compared to that of the wild-type K84 parent. Treatment with the plasmid-free derivative did not result in a significant level of control of an A. rhizogenes pathogen based on numbers or dry weight of galls formed on injured almond roots. The presence of plasmid pAgK84, pAgK434, or pAtK84b significantly enhanced the biological control efficacy of K84 derivatives, and the highest level of control was observed with strains harboring two or more plasmids. The results observed with strains deficient in agrocin 434 production suggest that this product may play an important role in the biological control of A. rhizogenes pathogens. The involvement of plasmid pAgK84b in biological control has not previously been reported. This study supports the conclusion that multiple factors are involved in the success of strain K84 as a biological control agent.

Volatile fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, mono- and sesquiterpenes were identified, together with various volatile nitriles and oximes, some of which had not previously been described from any mammalian skin gland. Benzyl cyanide and phenylacetaldehyde oxime were identified as major components of the secretions, together with smaller amounts of the novel 3-methylthiopropanal oxime. The relative abundance of the identified compounds was highly variable between individuals and the scent composition was found to be partly determined by the scent of surrounding conspecifics. Principal component analysis revealed a high similarity between related individuals.

The model is applied to a weir pool on the Murrumbidgee River and to an open section of the River Murray, Australia. Excellent agreement between measured and simulated temperature profiles under a wide range of river discharge and meteorological forcing is obtained in the two systems. The net surface heat flux and the river discharge are the two most important parameters determining the stratification status of these rivers with little effect from direct wind mixing.

The present study gives an analytical solution to the full air-flow equation, with the corresponding boundary-layer solution for comparison. The full solution predicts sparging below the air-injection point, whereas the boundary-layer solution does not. Solutions are expressed both in terms of the dimensionless Kirchhoff potential theta (increasing monotonically with capillary pressure and air saturation also) and the dimensionless Stokes stream function F (mapping the pattern of air flow). Both theta and F show the full solution predicting more effective sparging near the injection point than does the boundary-layer solution. The overall boundary-layer relative error, however, decreases as dimensionless air-injection depth below the undisturbed water-table increases.

We observed that males had food in their mouths significantly less often when they were in pairs than when they were alone. Females had food in the mouth independent of the presence or absence of males. Among females that had been feeding, indicated by food in the mouth, we observed them feeding, as we approached, less often when they were in pairs than when they were alone. Among females in pairs with food in their mouths, we observed them feeding less often when their male partners were not feeding than when their partners were feeding. This suggests that females are alerted to approaching danger earlier when they are in a pair, and alerted earlier in a pair when their male partner is not feeding. Enhanced vigilance may be one function of pairing behavior.

The valley is up to 1200 m in depth and strikes across the shelf; it is interpreted as having formed by glacial erosion processes. On the outer-shelf sill of the valley, northwestward (offshore) currents with speeds of up to 0.47 m/s referenced to 100 cm above the seabed were recorded over a 10-month period. Such currents are competent to initiate bedload transport of medium sand and formation of small (ripple-sized) bedforms which explains the occurrence of ripple cross-bedding observed in some X-radiographs of cores. A nepheloid layer with concentrations of up to 3.5 mg/l was noted at two stations and the available evidence suggests that density flows resulting from the sea-ice brine-rejection mechanism are competent to entrain shelf bottom sediments episodically. Sediment cores taken from this environment document the succession of facies resulting from retreat of glacial ice from the shelf during the Holocene transgression. Under low sea-level, glacial conditions, the ice sheet is interpreted to have been grounded on the outer shelf, where it deposited a grounding line moraine.

Different types of repeated miscarriages were taken into consideration, and the effects of low-level chlorinated hydrocarbon exposures on hormonal and immunological parameters were investigated. Results showed that, in this study population, contamination with specific chlorinated hydrocarbons was more pronounced in the miscarriage group than in controls, especially the levels of pentachlorophenol, hexachlorobenzene, and PCBs. Relatively high blood DDE concentrations were also observed. The chlorinated hydrocarbon levels did not differ in women with early or late and primary or secondary miscarriages, and they did not differ in women with hormonal or immunological disorders as causes of repeated miscarriages.

Lead was determined in blood, breast milk, urine, and food and formula. Results showed that in the first 6090 d postpartum, the contribution from breast milk to blood Pb in infants ranged 3680%. Lead isotopic ratios determined in breast milk could be used to predict the ratios in infants' blood. The major sources of Pb in breast milk were determined to be maternal bone and diet.

These differences are reviewed, looking at the current procedures for chemical safety evaluation, which can be classified broadly into long-term, short-term, and computer-based tests, and species differences relating to P450 variations. A proposed decision-tree approach to toxicity screening is presented, which has been constructed on the basis of several studies on predicting rodent carcinogenicity.

Samples were collected from carpets and children's mattresses and then analyzed in the laboratory. Variability was assessed by calculation of the variance observed for repeated measurements at the same site, which was related to the variance observed between different sites to assess its relative magnitude. Results showed that the variability in house dust mite allergen concentration at any one site was high. Allergen mass tended to vary even more than allergen concentration, which suggested that conditions for allergen production vary considerably even outside the mite season.

The data set used consisted of daily counts for specific hospital admissions and ambient measurements of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulates, temperature, and humidity. The results suggested that the association of ambient CO concentration with the number of hospital admissions for cardiac heart failure was temperature-dependent, increasing with decreasing temperature.

The average exposure concentrations for exposed and control subjects were 1770.05 and 50 mu g/m super(3), respectively. Lymphocytes were examined for mitotic index, chromosomal aberrations, and satellite associations. Results showed that 30 out of the 45 occupationally exposed subjects complained of eye irritation, and six were asthmatics. There was a significant increase in total chromosomal aberrations in the exposed group compared to the controls. In addition, a high frequency of dicentrics was found, and the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in goldsmiths was higher than in controls. A twofold increase in the frequency of satellite associations per cell was observed, and after 5 yr of employment, the mitotic index showed a gradual decline.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-03-21 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - GlnK, a P-homologue: Structure reveals ATP binding site and indicates how the T-loops may be involved in molecular recognition AN - 16560759; 4398258 AB - GlnK is a recently discovered homologue of the P sub(II) signal protein, an indicator of the nitrogen status of bacteria. P sub(II) occupies a central position in the dual cascade that regulates the activity of glutamine synthetase and the transcription of its gene. The complete role of Escherichia coli GlnK is yet to be determined, but already it is known that GlnK behaves like P sub(II) and can substitute for P sub(II) under some circumstances thereby adding to the subtleties of nitrogen regulation. There are also indications that the roles of the two proteins differ; the expression of P sub(II) is constitutive while that of GlnK is linked to the level of nitrogen in the cell. The discovery of GlnK begs the question of why E. coli has both GlnK and P sub(II). Clearly, the structural similarities and differences of GlnK and P sub(II) will lead to a better understanding of how P sub(II)-like proteins function in E. coli and other organisms. We have crystallised and solved the X-ray structure of GlnK at 2.0 Aa resolution. The asymmetric unit has two independent copies of the GlnK subunit and both pack around 3-fold axes to form trimers. The trimers have a barrel-like core with recognition loops (the T-loops) that protrude from the top of the molecule. The two GlnK molecules have similar core structures to P sub(II) but differ significantly at the C terminus and the loops. The T-loops of the two GlnK molecules also differ from each other; one is disordered while the conformation of the other is stabilised by lattice contacts. The conformation of the ordered T-loop of GlnK differs from that observed in the P sub(II) structure despite the fact that their sequences are very similar. The structures suggest that the T-loops do not have a rigid structure and that they may be flexible in solution. The presence of a turn of 3 sub(10) helix in the middle of the T-loop suggests that secondary structure could form when it interacts with soluble receptor enzymes. Co-crystals of GlnK and ATP were used to determine the structure of the complex. In these crystals, GlnK occupies a position of 3-fold symmetry. ATP binds in a cleft on the side of the molecule. The cleft is suitably positioned for ATP to influence the flexible T-loops. It is found at the junction of two beta sheets and is formed by two peptides one of which contains a variant of the "Gly-loop" found in other mononucleotide binding proteins. This sequence, Thr-Gly-X-X-Gly-Asp-Gly-Lys-Ile-Phe, forms part of the B-loop and is conserved in a wide variety of organisms that include bacteria, algae and archeabacteria. This sequence is more highly conserved than the functional T-loop, suggesting that ATP has an important role in P sub(II)-like proteins.

One hundred and twenty-six species were able to be grouped into six distinct groups (i.e. spring, spring and summer, summer, autumn, autumn and winter, all year) in terms of their patterns of seasonal occurrence. Three of the 16 species common to the two sites differed in their seasonality of occurrence, with their length of occurrence being extended at Old Chum Dam compared with Central Plateau. Moth numbers strongly reflected monthly changes in minimum temperature, with moth activity being greater at the high altitude site than at the low altitude site for an equivalent temperature. However, a given change in minimum temperature led to an equivalent change in the magnitude of moth numbers at both sites. These seasonal patterns of occurrence must be considered in the planning of biodiversity surveys.

The effects of temperature, water activity and acid constraints on the growth of Escherichia coli are investigated using substrate-limited batch culture experiments. Final optical densities of substrate-limited batch cultures indicate the efficiency of substrate conversion to biomass and, therefore, the relative energetic burdens that different environmental conditions pose for microbial growth. Typical growth rate responses are observed. At suboptimal temperatures, the square root of growth rate declines linearly with temperature. With increasingly stringent water activity conditions, the growth rate declines linearly. It also declines linearly (but only slightly) with increasing hydrogen-ion concentration. Similar Delta OD (the change in optical density from the initial value to the value where the final population density is reached) responses are observed for temperature and water activity (adjusted using sodium chloride). Over most of the growth permissive ranges, the Delta OD remains high for both factors. Close to the growth boundaries, however, at the low water activity extreme and at the low and high temperature extremes, cell production declines to zero suddenly. The influence of water activity on growth rate is partly relieved by the compatible solute betaine. However, the main influence of betaine on Delta OD is to extend (to a lower water activity value) the water activity growth boundary and, therefore, the water activity value where cell production declines suddenly. In contrast to the temperature and water activity responses, the Delta OD declines steadily with increasing hydrogen-ion concentration. This indicates that temperature and water activity constraints, despite their marked influence on growth rate, may not impose large energetic burdens. However, when acid stress is applied, the efficiency of substrate conversion to biomass appears to be reduced.

For the President's Initiative on Race. AN - 62488175; ED424344 AB - This chart book is designed to document current differences in well-being by race and Hispanic origin and to describe how such differences have evolved over the past several decades. The charts included in this book show key indicators of well-being in seven broad categories: (1) population; (2) education; (3) labor markets; (4) economic status; (5) health; (6) crime and criminal justice; and (7) housing and neighborhoods. Each section begins with a brief introduction and overview of the charts presented. This information provides a benchmark for measuring future progress and can highlight priority areas for reducing disparities across racial and ethnic groups. All the racial and ethnic groups considered here have experienced substantial improvements in well-being over the second half of the century, but disparities between groups have persisted, or in some cases, widened. An example is the decline in the relative economic status of Hispanics over the past 25 years, reflecting the increasing proportion of Hispanics with lower average levels of education, in large part because of immigration. The section on education, which makes disparities in educational attainment and achievement clear, contains information on family participation in literacy activities and preschool education. One chart reviews computer use by elementary school children, and two charts cover reading and mathematics proficiency scores, both of which have implications for the pursuit of higher education. Three charts focus on the educational attainment of adults over 25 years old. An appendix provides a list of other government publications and Internet addresses for more information.

Acceptance of Norplant has increased steadily since it was first introduced, & the method is now used by 5+% of all married women of reproductive age. Continuation rates among Norplant users are higher than among users of the intrauterine device. One factor behind high continuation rates may be that a substantial proportion of acceptors were not told that removal before 5 years was possible. Results indicate that deficits occurred in the quality of service delivery, & a need exists for improved provider training, better supervision, & clearer & better-enforced guidelines regarding women's right to have Norplant removed on demand. 5 Tables, 33 References.

With traditional theater & music, family planning messages were repeatedly broadcast on radio & TV, conveying information about modern contraceptive methods, the need for male sexual responsibility, the health & economic advantages of family planning, the need for communication between spouses, & how Islam, the predominant faith of Mali, does not oppose family planning. Reported here are results of a separate sample pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design used to evaluate the effects of the campaign & exposure to specific messages on changes in contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, & practice. Analysis of surveys conducted pre- & postintervention (N = 824 & 868 respondents, respectively) indicate a high level of exposure to & agreement with the messages. A dramatic drop was found in the proportion of men & women who believe that Islam opposes family planning. Logistic regression results indicate that contraceptive knowledge & use & more favorable attitudes toward family planning are positively associated with intensity of exposure to the project interventions, after controlling for relevant variables. 10 Tables, 1 Appendix, 36 References.

The strong negative impact is found to attenuate with family size, indicating a replacement effect. An insurance effect is observed, as contraceptive acceptance & continuation were negatively associated with the number of previous deaths of children. Couples seem to find contraceptive use acceptable if the child who dies is one of a large family. Potentially, contraceptive use could be acceptable for spacing after a child in a small family dies. Family planning programs can help to reduce fertility & maternal & child health risks substantially by supplying appropriate intervention to those couples who have experienced a young child's death; to be most effective, methods should be supplied immediately after the child's death. 9 Tables, 4 Figures, 1 Appendix, 30 References.

AN - 21356736; 7703988 AB - The organic constituents of exhaled human breath are representative of bloodborne concentrations through gas exchange in the blood/breath interface in the lungs. The presence of specific compounds can be an indicator of recent exposure or represent a biological response of the subject. For volatile organic compounds, sampling and analysis of breath is preferred to direct measurement from blood samples because breath collection is noninvasive, potentially infectious waste is avoided, the sample supply is essentially limitless, and the measurement of gas-phase analytes is much simpler in a gas matrix rather than in a complex biological tissue such as blood. However, to assess the distribution of a contaminant in the body requires a reasonable estimate of the blood level. We have investigated the use of noninvasive breath measurements as a surrogate for blood measurements for (high) occupational levels of trichloroethene in a controlled exposure experiment. Subjects were placed in an exposure chamber for 24 hr; they were exposed to 100 parts per million by volume trichloroethene for the initial 4 hr and to purified air for the remaining 20 hr. Matched breath and blood samples were collected periodically during the experiment. We modeled the resulting concentration data with respect to their time course and assessed the blood/breath relationship during the exposure (uptake) period and during the postexposure (elimination) period. Estimates for peak blood levels, compartmental distribution, and time constants were calculated from breath data and compared to direct blood measurements to assess the validity of the breath measurement methodology. Blood/breath partition coefficients were studied during both uptake and elimination. At equilibrium conditions at the end of the exposure, we could predict actual blood levels using breath elimination curve calculations and a literature value partition coefficient with a mean ratio of calculated:measured of 0.98 and standard error (SE) = 0.12 across all subjects. blood/breath comparisons at equilibrium resulted in calculated in vivo partition coefficients with a mean of 10.8 and SE = 0.60 across all subjects and experiments and 9.69 with SE = 0.93 for elimination-only experiments. We found that about 78% of trichloroethene entering the body during inhalation exposure is metabolized, stored, or excreted through routes other than exhalation.

Estimates of the magnitude of mortality induced by exposure to hazardous substances in the Australian workforce were calculated by the proportionate attributable risk approach after careful consideration of options for methodological refinements. The main data sources used were unit mortality datasets (individual deidentified death records), and tabulations when these were unavailable. The estimated number of deaths that occurred in Australia each year from occupational exposure to hazardous substances was 2290; 78% of these were men. The rate of mortality attributable to occupational exposure to hazardous substances was three to four times greater in male workers than in female workers. Male (productive) person-years of life lost (PYLL) were generally eight times higher than female PYLL. Cancer was the prime cause of death, followed by renal, cardiovascular, neurological, and chronic respiratory disease. Acute toxic episodes accounted for a small proportion of mortality but yielded a much larger proportion of PYLL, reflecting the relatively young ages of those who experienced fatal effects. Although national estimates of the proportions of mortality attributable to occupational exposure to hazardous substances seemed to be validly derived, uncertainties remain associated with the lack of an empirical basis for derivation of proportionate risk fractions used in the calculations. The finding of an appreciable burden of mortality that is attributable to past occupational exposure to hazardous substances emphasises the necessity for occupational health and safety authorities to measure and reduce worksite exposures. There is also an incentive to encourage the construction of appropriately designed cohort studies across industries and occupational groupings so that, ultimately, risk estimates may be directly calculated and applied to total workforce data for the definitive estimation of the magnitude of harm induced by occupational exposure to hazardous substances.

I have developed a method of estimating critical state properties from a single shear box test, both saving much labour and providing more information than traditional analyses. The method is based on critical state analyses of the constant stress and constant volume shear box tests using the total stresses applied at the boundary. It derives the critical state property parameters from test data by minimizing the difference between test data and the simulated soil deformation (and hence the properties used in that simulation). The minimization is a form of regression analysis. The analyses resulted in good simulations of the history of states in space defined by tau sub(xy), gamma sub(xy) and e space (constant stress test) or tau sub(xy), gamma sub(xy) and sigma sub(y) space (constant volume test). For normally consolidated samples, the analysis of a single constant stress test provided estimates of the slope of the critical state line (M), the slope of the virgin compression line ( lambda ), the slope of the rebound line ( Kappa ), and the elastic modulus (E). The standard deviation of the estimate of Kappa could not be found. By contrast, the analysis of the constant volume test resulted in poor estimates, particularly of lambda . This is because the test yields no information on changes of volume during deformation: hence volume change parameters are not successfully estimated. The constant volume test is therefore not suitable for back analysis.

Maximum sap velocities were recorded between 5 and 15 mm under the cambium for both eucalypt and acacia trees, and marked radial and axial variations in sap velocity were observed. The latter source of variation was most pronounced in mixed stands where crowns were asymmetrical. Mean daily sap flux ranged from 1.4 to 103.6 l day super(-1) for eucalypts and from < 0.1 to 8.4 l day super(-1) for acacias. Stem diameter explained 98% of the variation in sapwood area for E. nitens and 89% for A. dealbata, and was determined to be a suitable parameter for scaling water use from the tree to stand level. Plot transpiration varied from 1.4 to 2.8 mm day super(-1) in mixed 8-year-old plots and was 0.85 mm day super(-1) in a mixed 4-year-old plot. The degree of A. dealbata infestation was associated with absolute plot water use and regression models predicted that, in the absence of acacia competition, plot water use for the 8-year-old stand would approach 5-6 mm day super(-1) during the growing season.

Based on a comparison of this calibration curve with existing calibration curves for other species, we concluded that a generic calibration curve may be applicable for the assessment of LAI in eucalypt plantations. The Li-Cor LAI-2000 measurements were used to correlate the equilibrium LAI of E. nitens plantations with mean annual temperature. These and other data were then combined to develop relationships between LAI in both E. nitens and E. globulus Labill. plantations and mean annual temperature and water stress. In plantations of both species, LAI declined linearly with water stress. However, marked differences in the effect of suboptimal growth temperatures on LAI were observed between species: on cold sites, LAI of E. nitens was markedly higher than LAI of E. globulus. A simple analytic model of net primary production (NPP) was developed. In this model, increasing LAI increased light interception and hence dry matter production, but simultaneously increased canopy respiration. Consequently, for a given light utilization coefficient ( member of ), there was a value of LAI that maximized NPP. The model was parameterized for E. globulus and used to investigate the influences of water stress and mean annual temperature on LAI through their effects on member of . The model indicated that the value of LAI that was predicted to maximize NPP under various water and temperature stress regimes was similar to the value of LAI observed in the field under similar conditions only if leaf longevity was linked to water and temperature stress.

This brief study attempted to assess water management practices in rural and urban homes in Bangladesh so as to establish the routes by which unsafe water is ingested, to examine methods of collection and storage, and determine why unsafe water sources are used when safe supplies are available. Forty-eight rural and forty-five urban slum households were studied. Observations, interviews and water quality investigations were conducted. The results show that the respondents were aware that hand pump/tap water is safe and took care to use these safe sources for drinking purposes. However, they continued to use surface water for non-drinking activities such as bathing, washing and rinsing their mouths. Reasons were given that it was a traditional practice to bathe in surface water and was more enjoyable. One of the reasons given for not using hand pumped water to wash clothing and food was that such groundwater caused staining. Bacteriological results from such ingested water showed the quality, especially in rural areas, to be poor. Results also showed the internal surfaces of the base of storage containers to be heavily contaminated with bacteria. This showed that water that was safe when it was first drawn would became contaminated during storage. This study had a limited scope; much further research is needed to find what determines and how water becomes contaminated in containers. These factors include how to reduce contamination of water, in particular the relationship between growth of bacteria in stored water and the material from which the container is made and how to improve the overall quality of water. On the management side, studies could be conducted as to how to improve people's understanding of the use of water for domestic purposes and its safe management.

Until now, the origin of these pollutants has been inferred from concentration measurements of various elements in moss and the climatology at each sampling site. Lead isotopes provide an opportunity to identify the sources and to quantify the contribution of each. This preliminary study reports measurements of lead isotopes in moss from selected sites along the full extent of Norway that reveal significant spatial and temporal variations. There are significant north - south trends that differ at coastal and inland sites and differ between sampling periods (1974-1994). These variations reflect the changing contributions from the different source regions as the regulation of pollution from automobiles and industry takes effect. Identifiable sources are the U.K. and possibly France, which is noticeable at coastal sites; western Europe at the southern end; and eastern Europe and Russia influencing the inland and northernmost sites.

With this medium an incubation period of only 20 h is sufficient to either produce visible colonies of MRSA or to exclude MRSA (no staphylococcal colonies). Coagulase testing (requiring a further 6 h) enables coagulase-positive isolates to be provisionally reported as 'possible MRSA' 26-30 h after the swabs were collected. The medium supports growth of intrinsically resistant staphylococci including low-expression-class MRSA (methicillin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 8-16 mg/L), but methicillin susceptible staphylococci and beta -lactamase hyperproducers are suppressed.

It is based on a sound understanding of the basic physiology of tree growth and predicts leaf area index (LAI) following canopy closure, annual net photosynthetic production and water use, soil water balance, and stemwood production, all in response to climatic and site factors. Minimum inputs are site latitude, monthly means of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, solar irradiance, rainfall and open-pan evaporation, mean monthly rain-days, and a simple classification of soil depth, texture, stoniness, drainage and fertility. Output from ProMod is affected by processes included as part of the model structure, physiological parameters characterising these processes, and variables characterising site climate and soil. A sensitivity analysis based on predicted net total annual production (G sub(a)) and annual water use efficiency ( omega sub( alpha )) was applied to the structure of ProMod and to its parameter values. The structural sensitivity analysis shows that, with the possible exception of the temperature dependence of respiration, simplification of any of the processes in ProMod results in a loss of generality. The parameter sensitivity analysis shows that G sub(a) and omega sub( alpha ) are highly sensitive to a small subset of parameters: light saturated photosynthetic rate, shape of the light response curve and its dependence on temperature, low temperature response of LAI, and parameters in the relationship between water use efficiency and vapour pressure deficit. There is little or no sensitivity to some parameters which are difficult to measure. In many cases sensitivity varied significantly from site to site. This information is important when ProMod is to be parameterised for different species, and impacts on traits to be selected for in a tree-breeding program.

A general equation is developed and shown to provide a good theoretical basis for the existing pH models that have been widely used to describe the effects of pH on microbial growth kinetics. Four experimental data sets are used to test the general equation developed. The four data sets exhibited a variety of functional curve shapes, for example, symmetrical and asymmetrical bell-shaped, when the specific growth rate of microorganisms is plotted as a function of pH. All four data sets are found to be well represented by the general equation. The existing pH model was, however, found to represent only one out of four data sets, i.e., the symmetrical case.

However, fish oil sources may be unreliable with the failure or variability of various fisheries. In the future there is concern that insufficient fish oil will be available to meet the expected growing demand for omega 3 oils. The culture of algae for omega 3 PUFA is comparatively expensive and complicated. In comparison, the potential production of omega 3 PUFA from bacteria may be a cheaper and simpler source. Several species of bacteria have been isolated from the Australian Antarctic Territory that are capable of producing omega 3 PUFA (e. g. eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA; 20:5 omega 3) at similar relative levels to those found in microalgae or fish oils. Other species have been isolated that produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 omega 3) and a mixture of EPA and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4 omega 6). These bacteria may represent a potential new, cheaper and easier to produce source of omega 3 and omega 6 PUFA for the food, aquaculture and related industries.

There is some evidence that asthma severity may be related to meteorological factors, such as air temperature, or indirectly via altered exposure to infections, aeroallergens, or air pollutants. This study surveyed approximately 31,470 people aged 20 to 44 for prevalence of asthma symptoms. Climate data was obtained from a national database. Geographic data, to determine urban or rural setting, as well as altitude, were obtained from a vegetation survey completed in 1983. The results show that a statistically significant association was found between asthma prevalence and mean temperature, with the lowest quartile of mean temperature having a 2% lower prevalence of adult asthma.

The amendments also created a Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management to develop a method to evaluate residual risks in federal regulatory programs. This paper describes a public health approach to evaluating residual and environmental health risks under the Clear Air Act, one which would emphasize prevention, instead of clean-up after the fact, and encourage effective action instead of relying on regulations and control.

Absorption of lead depends on particle size, location of deposit, and particle solubility (ability to locate in a part of the body where it can exhibit its inherent toxicity). Lead can be absorbed in the respiratory and/or gastrointestinal tract, in the nasopharyngeal and tracheo-bronchial regions, and in the alveolar regions of the respiratory tract. Bulk samples and size selected samples of dust were collected from four areas near a lead smelter and analyzed by X-ray diffraction and chemical sequential extraction to determine the geochemical factors related to blast and dross processing.

Previous studies showed developmental delays in children who had been exposed to mercury pre-natally, which led to public health concerns that prenatal low-dose exposure from consumption of fish could affect the fetus. In this study, the effects of prenatal methylmercury exposure through mothers' consumption of fish was evaluated by the age that children first walked and first said words. Very slight delays in walking were found as mercury levels increased from 0 to 7ppm, (as measured in maternal hair samples), but did not continue at higher levels of exposure. No relationship was found between prenatal exposure to methylmercury and the age at which children began speaking.

Recent studies show that neonates and young rats are resilient to a variety of hepatotoxicants, and young rats are resilient to a combination of chlordecone (CD) and carbon tetrachloride (CLL sub(4)), which causes 100% mortality in adult rats. The resiliency is associated with higher rates of hepatocellular regeneration and more efficient tissue repair mechanisms in younger animals. The loss of resistance in older rats may be due to insufficient cell and tissue repair. This study investigated if the antimitotic effect of cochicine affected the resiliency to chlordecone and carbon tetrachloride by inhibiting ongoing and stimulated cell division. The methodology is presented.

It has been proposed that they serve as metal detoxification and metal homeostasis, protecting the cells against damage caused by alkylating agents, oxygen radicals, and radiation. This study analyzes the metal-induced expression of the MT gene family in human proximal tubule cells and compares them to animal model studies. While MT protein expression was found to be similar between human and animal cell models, there is evidence that regulation of the genes underlying MT protein expression may differ between species.

Traditional estrogen receptor (ER) binding assays can identify a chemical's potential to be an EDC, but requires displacement of a radioactive ligand from crude receptor preparations at low temperatures. In this study the authors present a fluorescence polarization method which can be used at room temperature. It is a nonradioactive receptor binding method which could facilitate large-scale testing of environmental and industrial chemicals for estrogen receptor binding.

Four new species and two new subspecies of Australian Ogma are described. Ogma feckneri n. sp. is distinguished from other described species by the long bare tail. O. sassafras n. sp. differs from related species by the longer stylet, larger number of body annules, more posterior excretory pore and higher number of annules from vulva to tail terminus. O. haguei n. sp. diifers from related species in tail shape, stylet length, number of body annules and position of vulva. O. bellum n. sp. is distinguished by the widely expanded lip region, greater number of scales per annule, and fewer body annules. O. civellae whianus n. ssp. may be distinguished by the single lip annule, and the very long stylet. O. civellae arboreum n. ssp. is characterised by the deeply fringed first annule, and the higher number of scales per annule. Further information is given about O. alticolum and O. australe. As a result of the transfer of Pateracephalanema australe to Ogma, 0. australis Andrassy becomes a junior homonym of O. australe Colbran and is therefore renamed O. andrassyi n.n.

Sporulation of A. crassa in culture was greatest under the following conditions: on V-8 juice agar, with a 12 h photoperiod of 'Warm White' light, with cultures arranged in a monolayer, at 25-30 degree C, at about 13 days after inoculation. Spores rather than mycelial fragments were required to kill seedlings of D. stramonium. Preliminary experiments indicated that a minimum dew period of 9 h and a spore concentration of 10 super(5)/mL were required to kill cotyledonary-stage seedlings of D. stramonium. In host range studies in the glasshouse, A. crassa killed or severely reduced the growth of all Datura species tested and other solanaceous weeds. Also, A. crassa caused disease symptoms on some crops and ornamental species, including four tomato and two eggplant cultivars, Petunia hybrida 'Mardi Gras' and a soybean cultivar. Microscopic examination of the infection process after inoculation showed that spores germinated, formed appressoria and penetrated equally well on different species and so resistance was intracellular.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62501235; ED432628 AB - A Congressional hearing was held to discuss the readiness of the District of Columbia public schools for the 1998-99 school year. In the 1997-98 school year, the District's public schools had not been able to open on time because of repair work that was not completed. After opening remarks by Congress members Thomas M. Davis and Constance Morella, Constance Newman, Vice Chairman of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority, spoke about the efforts underway to improve the D.C. public schools. Arlene Ackerman, Superintendent of Schools for the District of Columbia, assured the Subcommittee that the schools would be opening on time and that improvements to facilities and to instruction were ongoing. Colonel Bruce Berwick of the Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for engineering technical assistance to the school system, emphasized that all schools would be able to open in safe conditions by September 1, 1998, even though all capital projects would not be completed. Arthur Turowski, Director of Portfolio Management for the Public Buildings Service of the National Capital Region of the General Services Administration, reviewed the role of that agency in the facilities repair and improvement process. Additional statements were made by these witnesses: (1) Maudine Cooper, Chairman of the school system's Emergency Transition Board; (2) Wilma Harvey, President of the elected School Board; and (3) Carlotta C. Joyner, of the U.S. General Accounting Office. Constance Newman and Arlene Ackerman summarized issues facing the D.C. schools and touched on areas related to academic achievement and the situation of charter schools. The prepared statements of each witness follow their testimony.

AN - 62469269; ED423108 AB - This Executive Order of the President outlines a plan for federal agencies to develop a long-term comprehensive federal Indian education policy that will accomplish six goals for American Indian and Alaska Native education. These goals are improving reading and mathematics; increasing high school completion and postsecondary attendance rates; reducing the influence of longstanding factors that impede educational performance, such as poverty and substance abuse; creating strong, safe and drug-free school environments; improving science education; and expanding the use of educational technology. An interagency task force will be established to oversee planning and implementation of this order, in consultation with representatives of American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and organizations. Task force activities will include: (1) developing an interagency action plan supportive of this order; (2) identifying, within participating federal agencies, all education-related programs and resources that support the goals of this order, and publishing and disseminating the guide; and resources; (3) developing a comprehensive federal research agenda that evaluates promising practices and the role of Native language and culture in educational strategies; and (4) developing a comprehensive federal Indian education policy. In addition, the Departments of Education and the Interior will convene a series of regional forums to identify promising practices and strategies, and will identify model schools and provide them with technical assistance. The task force will terminate not later than August 6, 2003. (SV) AU - Clinton, William J.

Highlights. AN - 62245991; ED457990 AB - This booklet showcases findings from a new analysis of data from "Family Involvement in Education: A National Portrait," and provides a checklist for parents to assess their own school on issues of family involvement. The study was conducted in May and June of 1997 by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. Key findings of the study are that: (1) schools are working hard to involve parents in their children's schooling, and parents are actively engaged in their children's learning experience; (2) even so, most parents would still like more information and assistance from schools and teachers about how to support their children's education, both at school and at home; (3) in addition to in-school activities, parents are eager for their children to have school-based after-school and summer opportunities--demand for these programs significantly outstrips current supply; and (4) primary school parents are more involved in every aspect of their children's schooling than are middle school parents. Graphic highlights of survey findings are presented as indicators of family involvement; parents and school administrators can use the indicators to tally a score for their own school. Indicators are: Opportunities, Barriers, Communication Technologies, Communication Topics, Parental Input, At-Home Learning, Parent/Teacher Interactions, Reaching Out, and After School Programs.

AN - 21260180; 11702166 AB - There is considerable public, regulatory, and scientific concern regarding human exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which include compounds that directly modulate steroid hormone receptor pathways (estrogens, antiestrogens, androgens, antiandrogens) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists, including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds. Based on quantitative structure-activity relationships for both AhR and estrogen receptor (ER) agonists, the relative potency (RP) of individual compounds relative to a standard (e.g. TCDD and 17-beta-estradiol) have been determined for several receptor-mediated responses. Therefore, the TCDD or estrogenic equivalent (TEQ or EQ, respectively) of a mixture is defined as TEQ = sigma[T(i)]xRP(i)or EQ=sigma[E(i)]xRP(i), where T(i) and E(i) are concentrations of individual AhR or ER agonists in any mixture. This approach for risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting mixtures assumes that for each endocrine response pathway, the effects of individual compounds are essentially additive. This paper will critically examine the utility of the TEQ/EQ approach for risk assessment, the validity of the assumptions used for this approach, and the problems associated with comparing low dose exposures to xeno and natural (dietary) endocrine disruptors.

Muell. (Mountain Ash) forest was examined in the Toolangi State Forest in the Central Highlands of Victoria. Coupes ranging in age from <1- to 10-years-old and the spar-stage forests (1939 bushfire regrowth) adjacent to each of these coupes and a mature, 250-year-old forest were surveyed. The dispersal and establishment of weeds was facilitated by clearfelling. An influx of seeds of exotic species was detected in recently felled coupes but not in the adjacent, unlogged forests. Vehicles and frequently disturbed areas, such as roadside verges, are likely sources of the seeds of exotic species. The soil seed bank of younger coupes had a greater number and percentage of seeds of exotics than the 10-year-old coupes and the spar-stage and mature forests. Exotic species were a minor component (<1% vegetation cover) in the more recently logged coupes and were not present in 10-year-old coupes and the spar-stage and mature forests. These particular exotic species did not persist in the dense regeneration nor exist in the older forests because the weeds were ruderal species (light-demanding, short-lived and short-statured plants). The degree of influence that these particular exotic species have on the regeneration and survival of native species in E. regnans forests is almost negligible. However, the current management practices may need to be addressed to prevent a more threatening exotic species from establishing in these coupes and forests.

The differential impacts of herbivory by phytophagous insects has been postulated as a causal mechanism in the creation and maintenance of such stands. This research aimed to quantify phytophagous insect abundance and herbivory in mixed species juvenile regrowth of Eucalyptus globulus, E. viminalis (Symphyomyrtus), E. obliqua and E. pulchella (Monocalyptus) southwest of Hobart, Tasmania. Monocalyptus experienced a higher level of herbivory than Symphyomyrtus. However, mean damage levels were relatively low at less than 11% throughout. Furthermore, due to the positively skewed nature of herbivory data the mean was an inappropriate measure of central tendency; median damage levels ranged from 4.9% to 8.4%. Patterns of herbivory tended to be different for each eucalypt species: E. obliqua was particularly prone to chewing damage, E. pulchella and E. globulus suffered higher levels of distortion while E. viminalis was least affected by insect attack. Even though some trends in insect community structure seemed apparent at the level of eucalypt subgenus, closer examination revealed patterns of abundance were characteristic of each Eucalyptus species. The composition of foliar damage corresponded with the prominence of particular insect groups. Sucking insects tended to dominate the fauna except on E. obliqua where chewing insects in general, and chrysomelids in particular, were most prevalent. Both the distribution and magnitude of herbivory suggested that phytophagous insects had a negligible effect on competition between coexisting juvenile eucalypts and were unlikely to be responsible for the dominance of Monocalyptus or the maintenance of mixed species stands.

The former species is associated with streams where it occurs in vegetation with numerous exotics. The latter species is usually found in the root zone of exotic large trees, usually on roadsides, and often in the absence of many other native species. Populations of both species have disappeared since European settlement, some in the last two decades. Both species are rapid and prolific producers of easily germinated seed. Both species are absent from places grazed moderately or intensively by sheep or cattle. The establishment of new individuals of Lepidium occurs only on relatively bare ground. The species is tolerant of root competition and intolerant of above ground competition. It will also establish from soil-stored seed after mechanical disturbance. Its future is linked to the survival of grazing-free locations where above ground competition from herbs and grasses is subdued. Barbarea is a ruderal that requires freedom from stock grazing for its persistence in Tasmanian riparian habitats. These results reinforce the importance of some degraded ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, and the critical role of disturbance regimes in influencing the survival or extinction of a subset of native plant species. In the fragmented and variegated landscapes of today, weedy natives cannot necessarily be expected to survive in non-weedy environments.

Gas exchange during the static phase was found to be limited to the outer periphery of the windrow with interstitial O sub(2) being reduced to 0 to 2% in the pile centre between 2 and 6 hours after turning, indicating that the piles were oxygen starved for most of the trial, however, at no time was methane detected. The effectiveness of periodic turning in replenishing interstitial O sub(2) and eliminating CO sub(2) decreased as composting progressed, due to an increase in bulk density which reduced the volume of voids participating in gas exchange. This was particularly evident when the bulk density of PMS increased to more than 550 kg m super(-3). The volumetric quotient of CO sub(2) produced to O sub(2) consumed in a given interstitial gas sample was found to be a better indicator of whether aerobic or anaerobic conditions were present, than simply considering the level of interstitial O sub(2). An upward convective flow of gas existing in the PMS windrow during the static phase was not sufficient to maintain aerobic conditions within the pile. Periodic turning of PMS in static windrows was found to be ineffective in maintaining aerobic conditions, suggesting that a reduction in pile height, addition of a bulking agent to improve porosity and/or the installation of open-ended perforated plastic pipes could improve aeration during the static phase. Such measures are relatively inexpensive and would significantly reduce the time required to produce a stable compost.

Salt-tolerant vegetation is among the indicators used to separate saline-alkaline areas from non-affected ones. However, this type of vegetation causes spectral confusion and erroneous labelling between salinity and alkalinity classes when working with optical sensors such as Landstat TM or Spot. Accordingly, this paper evaluates the capabilities of the microwave range to map saline and alkaline areas. Fuzzy sets are used to model the information classes, and a fuzzy overlay model is implemented to classify the JERS-1 radar satellite image. The study shows that fuzzy classification of JERS-1 SAR data provides reliable detection (overall accuracy equal to 81%) of areas degraded by salinity-alkalinity processes. The main problems appear to be due to the interaction between soil roughness and radar backscattering, which determined erroneous allocation of alkaline and saline-alkaline areas to non-affected areas.

However, in group-living animals the reproductive value of offspring may also depend on their social rank. We show here that in an allodapine bee Exoneura robusta, dominant mothers can behaviourally influence their daughters' reproductive rank by controlling insemination of other potential mothers. In E. robusta, group living is near mandatory and reproductive dominance among female nestmates is determined by order of adult emergence. Nests are single, undivided burrows and the dominant female assumes a guarding position closest to the nest entrance. We show that before the egg-laying period, subordinate females who have been absent from the nest are 'screened' by the reproductive guard upon attempted re-entry. Those who have been in contact with foreign males are less likely to be granted access back into the nest than those who have been in contact with foreign females or with no bees at all. We argue that by controlling insemination patterns of their nestmates, dominant females ensure that their own daughters eclose first and are therefore more likely to assume dominance in the next generation. This presents a situation where dominance is bequeathed to daughters by behavioural means. The ability of mothers to influence social hierarchies in subsequent generations introduces a fitness component additional to the number and size of offspring produced.

Given that the glacial/interglacial cycles characteristic of the Quaternary are likely to continue, now widespread temperate forest types will be restricted to limited refugia in the future. Calibration of height of last glacial pollen records with contemporary vegetation types, and assumptions on the rate of spread of Nothofagus rainforest, are used to test the likelihood of a range of possible height of glacial climatic scenarios in Tasmania. These scenarios take into account changes in continentality and precipitation that seem likely to have occurred when Tasmania was a peninsula of Australia, rather than an island. The best-fitting scenario is consistent with a wide variety of evidence. It suggests that rainforest was highly restricted in height of glacial conditions, but alpine vegetation, eucalypt forest and woodland more widespread. Several apparent critical refugia for rainforest are identified.

AN - 16556322; 4397893 AB - Because of increasing concern over the constancy of intervals between prescribed fires within a vegetation type, we examine various sources of evidence that can be used to determine variation appropriate to the conservation of biodiversity while minimizing the chances of economically destructive fires. Primary juvenile periods of plants (especially of `serotinous seeders') and non-breeding periods of birds (especially poorly dispersed species) suggest extreme lower limits for fire intervals whereas longevity of plant species which usually only reproduce after fire, set the extreme upper limits. Modelling of the behaviour of selected plant and animal species may be used to set `optimal' mean intervals. Historical fire-interval data might seem a useful way to determine the variation about the mean fire-interval but data are scarce and interpretations are controversial. The Weibull distribution and its special case, the negative exponential distribution, have been the most supported in North American studies of unplanned fires. It has been argued that fire-interval distributions, before European settlement at least, were largely the result of large fires during, or following, extreme weather events (dry in forests, wet in the arid zone). Long weather records are most beneficial when they can be related to the areas burned each year. Practical solutions to the question `what range of fire intervals should be used at any one site' may be achieved using highly simplified skewed distributions, constructed on the basis of land-management objectives.

Modeling can facilitate the choice of the best control agents, improve evaluation of biocontrol attempts, and assist in the design of integrated pest management plans. Field data for similar to 8000 mapped C. nutans plants at two sites in New Zealand were used to develop size-structured matrix models. The matrix models confirm that both populations of C. nutans were increasing in number, as is expected of a noxious weed in its invasion phase. Elasticity analysis indicated that seed/seedling and small-plant/seed transitions were more crucial to population growth than rosette survival rates. However, simulations of attack by the biocontrol agent Rhinocyllus conicus (nodding thistle receptacle weevil) showed that seed losses of similar to 69% would be required to make the populations decrease in size, far more than the observed losses of 30-40% in New Zealand, the United States, and Canada. This result accords with field observations of control failure in New Zealand, but not with records of successful control in North America. Other management possibilities, including the use of grazing management to suppress germination and an integrated weed management approach, were also assessed, using both deterministic and stochastic matrix models. This work indicates that, with continued suppression of germination in conjunction with a reduction of the input to the seed bank, it may be possible to control C. nutans in New Zealand.

AN - 16552125; 4382110 AB - In this study I examine the variability in calling activity of Sciarasaga quadrata over both the short (4 d) and long term (life span), and the temporal pattern to host searching by its most significant natural enemy, the ormiine fly Homotrixa alleni. Indeed, few male S. quadrata survive the entire calling season as this acoustically orienting parasitoid fly continually 'culls' calling males out of the population. I found that male S. quadrata commence calling over 1 h before sunset, cease around midnight and call, on average, for over 3 h within this period (range 0-11 h 09 min). There was significant concordance and repeatability in calling activity over both the short and long term, enabling me to conclude that relative differences in calling activity among males persist throughout a male's life span. There was a distinct peak to host searching by gravid female flies, with 82% of all flies collected at acoustic traps between sunset and midnight. A positive association between call duration (time spent calling) and fly attraction was evident from multiple collections of flies at single traps. Counter to expectation, there was no significant decline in average call duration across successive collections of males, indicating that long-call-duration males were not being selectively culled by flies from the calling population. Males at the end of the calling season, when their remaining reproductive potential is low, allocate the majority of their calling time between sunset and midnight despite the high risk of fly attack. The distribution of call durations within the population was not skewed, which if heritable, indicates a lack of history of directional selection acting on call duration. Limited evidence suggests that encounters with females are rare in S. quadrata so that males may be selected, irrespective of natural selection pressure, to call for long periods of time to optimize their chance of attracting mates. The above findings are further discussed in relation to parasitoid foraging and acoustic reproductive strategies.

Clinical and environmental strains of V. cholerae O1 or O139 and stools that were culture positive for cholera were analyzed to study the induction and transmission of CTX Phi . To our knowledge, this is the first report of the examination of CTX Phi in clinical materials and in naturally occurring strains. DNA probe analysis revealed that 4.25% (6 of 141) of the isolated V. cholerae strains spontaneously produced a detectable level of extracellular CTX Phi particles in the culture supernatants whereas another 34.04% (48 of 141) produced CTX Phi particles when induced with mitomycin C. CTX Phi isolated from 10 clinical or environmental strains infected a CT-negative recipient strain, CVD103, both inside the intestines of infant mice and under laboratory conditions. All culture-positive stools analyzed were negative for the presence of CTX Phi both in the DNA probe assay and by in vivo assay for the infection of the recipient strain in infant mice. These results suggested that naturally occurring strains of toxigenic V. cholerae are inducible lysogens of CTX Phi but that cholera pathogenesis in humans is not associated with the excretion of CTX Phi particles in stools, indicating that induction of the phage may not occur efficiently inside the human intestine. However, in view of the efficient transmission of the phage under conditions conducive to the expression of toxin-coregulated pili, it appears that propagation of CTX Phi in the natural habitat may involve both environmental and host factors.

A large number of data has been collected by the Air Monitoring and Research Station operating in the centre of the subtropical city of Brisbane. The Station is equipped in instrumentation for measurements of particle size distributions in submicrometer and supermicrometer ranges in addition to the standard instrumentation for monitoring of the criteria pollutants (PM sub(10), ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide). The focus of this paper is on presenting results related to characterization of particle size distribution and concentration trends in the study period, correlation between particle characteristics measured by different instruments, correlation between particle and gaseous data and preliminary conclusions on source characteristics and source contribution for the investigated area. The average submicrometer particulate concentration in the study period was 7.4 x 10 super(3) particles cm super(-3), and the average number median diameter was 40 nm. The best correlated data are those for submicrometer particles and carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, suggesting the same source type. The lack of correlation between submicrometer and supermicrometer particle concentration data implies different sources for particles in these two ranges. Particle spectral analysis and correlation with gaseous data, indicate that motor vehicle emissions constitute the main source of ultrafine particles in the study area.

Local nickel refineries are responsible for extensive sulfur dioxide and nickel pollution in the area. The study is a cross-sectional population-based study of adults 18-69 years of age designed to determine the exposure to environmental nickel. Exposure to nickel was measured in urine using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Results showed that regardless of geographical proximity to a nickel refining plant, the Russian population showed a higher urinary-nickel excretion average than the Norwegian population under study.

The purpose of the study is to assess the lead exposure in schoolchildren by analyzing blood lead concentrations and biomarkers of heme biosynthesis. Blood samples were taken from 131 children in two central and two southern city school districts in Jakarta, Indonesia. The mean blood lead concentrations were higher in the children from the central district than from the southern district -- 26.7% of the children had lead levels greater than 10 mu g/100 ml. Soil samples and tap water from each district were taken to evaluate lead pollution. Analyses revealed lead values under 0.01 mg/l, but lead contamination of soil ranged from 77 to 223 ppm.

Recent studies show that thyroid cell growth and function involves a complex interactive network of endocrine, paracrine and autocrine factors. The effects of these factors are mediated through a number of messenger systems. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the principal growth factor for thyroid cells. The article reviews thyroid regulation, transport, metabolism and excretion of thyroid hormones, control of TSH secretion and the mitogenic effects of TSH on thyroid tissue, Effects of specific chemicals on the thyroid, rodent and human thyroid cancer studies, and the changes in genes in thyroid carcinogenesis.

As neurotoxins they have been reported to affect memory, and cause intellectual dysfunction in children who ate PCB contaminated foods. Human exposure to PCBs is primarily through ingestion of dairy products, meats and fish. How this occurs is not clear, but one possibility is that interactive effects of specific PCB congeners and related chemicals may disturb CA super(2+) homeostasis and cause protein kinase C (PKC) translocation in neuronal cells, and though no cytotoxicity is observed, they may interrupt the systems which are needed for growth and functioning of neurons. This study examines the interactive effects of several PCB congeners and dioxins that affect protein kinase C (PKC) translocation in neuronal preparations.

There is little information on the effects of exposure to internalized depleted uranium (DU). This paper established an in vitro study to model exposure to depleted uranium. Microdosimetric assessment showed that few cell nuclei were hit by alpha particles. DU-uranyl chloride transformed immortalized human osteoblastic cells to the tumorigenic phenotype. This is the first report of DU causing human cell transformation to the neoplastic phenotype, showing that the risk of cancer from internalized CU exposure may be comparable to other biologically reactive and carcinogenic heavy metal compounds.

There is concern that accumulated bone lead stores may serve as an internal source of lead exposure, particularly during periods when bone loss is experienced, such as during pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. In this study, two blood samples from 26 residents of Mexico City with no occupational exposure to lead were taken. The first was tested by means of inductively coupled plasma-magnetic sector mass spectrometry. The other was centrifuged to separate plasma, which was then analyzed using the same technique.

Some 240 pesticides were screened by the EPA, as least 24 produced thyroid follicular cell tumors in rodents. Some mutagenic data was also available on the 24 pesticides, but did not seem to be a major element in thyroid carcinogenicity, with the exception of acetochlor. Eleven pesticides were found to disrupt thyroid-pituitary functioning, with acetochlor showing both antithyroid and some mutagenic activity.

Although research is available concerning the deleterious effects of single exposure to any of these metals, there is no information on exposure to a mixture of elements. This study uses an animal model to examine neurochemical changes from metal mixtures. Microdyalisis was used to compare in vivo dopamine release from rats exposed orally to mining waste. Research showed that mining waste accumulated in rats' brains within 2 weeks of oral exposure, and the exposed rats demonstrated significantly decreased basal levels of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, compared to control group rats.

Nitrogen and phosphorus AN - 16381097; 4293705 AB - Accumulation of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in below- and above-ground components of Eucalyptus nitens was studied in a plantation for two fertilizer treatments (T1, unfertilized; and T5, in which 600 and 300 kg ha -1 of N and P, respectively was applied at 2 and 26 months after planting). Variation of N-concentration in roots of various diameters was small. The concentration of N in roots was similar to that for leaves, but the concentration of P was higher in roots compared with leaves and other above-ground components of trees. Application of N and P fertilizers at 26 months increased the concentrations of N in roots and P in leaves and stems following fertilizer application. Temporal variation of N- and P-concentrations in roots did not match with that for the above-ground components of trees. Leaves and coarse roots accumulated higher proportion of total N and P than other components. By 34 months, total accumulated N and P in trees was 290 and 31 kg ha -1 , respectively. The ratio of below-ground to above-ground P decreased with addition of P but a similar ratio for N remained unaffected by N-fertilization.

Biomass AN - 16372426; 4293704 AB - The relative distribution of below- and aboveground biomass in an Eucalyptus nitens plantation was studied under a set of five fertilizer regimes. In addition to a control (unfertilized) treatment, N and P fertilizers were applied at a ratio of 2:1 with rates of N at 75, 150, 300 and 600 kg ha -1 at 2 and 26 months after planting. There was a small response in stem diameter to fertilization by 34 months. Biomass of fine and medium roots was influenced by spatial variation in soil properties arising from cultivation as well as fertilization, but the effects of fertilization on root biomass was inconsistent. Biomass of coarse roots increased with the size of tree, and fertilizer treatments did not influence the relationship between coarse-root weight and tree-size. There was a significant decrease in the amount of belowground production per unit aboveground production of biomass with increasing rates of fertilization. This change in distribution of biomass was mainly due to an increased contribution of coarse roots and a reduced contribution of branches to total biomass in fertilized trees. Thus, application of fertilizers to ameliorate even a modest nutrient limitation in plantations can change relative distribution of biomass in below- and aboveground components of trees.

Subcommittee Report. Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. U.S. House of Representatives. One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session (July 17, 1998). AN - 62496663; ED431238 AB - This document reports on a congressional subcommittee's review of the federal role in education. The review included visits to 15 states and testimony from more than 225 principals, teachers, and other education stakeholders. The committee's purpose was to identify the steps that lead in the direction of either excellence or failure. The subcommittee found that successful schools and school systems were not the product of federal funding but instead were characterized by parents involved in the education of their children, local control, emphasis on basic academics, and dollars spent on the classroom. The central theme of the findings is that the federal government cannot consistently replicate success stories in the form of federal programs. Rather, the government should empower parents by reducing the family federal tax burden; encourage parental choice in education; return federal elementary and secondary education funds to states and local school districts through flexible grants; use federally funded education programs only for methods backed by reliable, replicable research; streamline and consolidate federal education programs; and reform or eliminate ineffective and inefficient programs. In short, the federal government should serve education as a research and statistics- gathering agency, disseminating findings and enabling states to share best practices with each other. The report was adopted by the subcommittee by a vote along Republican-Democrat party lines of 5-2. The 17 page minority report, "Crossroads Hearings: A Republican Assault on Public Education," is printed as an appendix.

The aim of this work was to investigate the number concentration and size distributions of particulates in the exhausts of diesel vehicles (mainly buses) of different ages and make, operating under different loads. Particle-sizing instruments used were the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS). The average particle number concentration of the exhausts was in the range (0.7-3.9) x 10 super(7) cm super(-3) in the SMPS range (0.0075-0.304 mu m) and (0.3-32) x 10 super(3) cm super(-3) in the APS range (0.5-30 mu m). In most cases, particle number concentrations increased with the increased power output from the engine and, in both SMPS and APS ranges, varied significantly within each group of vehicles, but the differences between the groups were small. For individual vehicles, there was no relation between emissions in the smaller and larger particle ranges. Emission characteristics did not appear to be correlated with engine model or age. The implications of these findings to particle emission testing and control as well as to exposure and risk analysis are discussed.

One catchment (C2) is located in Russia 5 km downwind of the nickel-copper ore smelting industry in Monchegorsk, which is a major SO sub(2) and trace metal emission source, the other (C5) is located in Norway 30 km off-wind from the nickel-copper ore smelter in Nikel and 52 km off-wind from the nickel-copper ore roasting plant of Zapoljarniy, which are also significant emitters of inorganic atmospheric pollutants. Groundwater chemistry mostly reflects the mineralogical composition of the gabbro aquifer in C2 and the Quaternary deposits in C5, although groundwater in C2 also shows signs of incipient contamination from surface waters (heavy metals, sulphate, chloride). Groundwater in C2 appears to have been acidified by S-compounds emitted from Monchegorsk, but the groundwater's capacity to neutralise incoming acidity has not been exhausted. In C5, groundwater has not been acidified to any extent and has a high acid neutralising capacity. This study demonstrates that the geological substrate of a catchment is a fundamental control on how groundwater responds to atmospheric pollution, even if the latter is severe.

United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62495150; ED432634 AB - A Senate hearing considered five bills related to the national parks. Of interest to the education community is S. 2232, which would establish Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site in Arkansas as a unit of the National Park Service. In 1957 the school became a center of controversy over school desegregation when nine African American students attempted to enroll at Central High. Senator Dale Bumpers from Arkansas spoke of the importance of recognizing the site, already on the National Register of Historic Places as the location of the first real test of desegregation in the wake of the "Brown v. Board of Education" decision. Everett Tucker, III, President of the Central High Museum spoke in support of the measure, as did Ernest Green, one of the nine students who integrated the school with federal support. Both speakers noted that the nine students were an inspiration to America because of their poise in a crisis. Although the school would be designated as a National Parks site, it would continue to be a functioning school, administered by the Little Rock school district. The hearing report also contains testimony by witnesses related to the other bills and the prepared statements of all witnesses.

It is believed that this subversion of the host biosynthetic machinery is accomplished primarily by a cluster of early genes in the SPO1 terminal redundancy. Here we analyze the nucleotide sequence of this 11.5-kb "host-takover module," which appears to be designed for particularly efficient expression. Promoters, ribosome-binding sites, and codon usage statistics all show characteristics known to be associated with efficient function in B. subtilis. The promoters and ribosome-binding sites have additional conserved features which are not characteristic of their host counterparts and which may be important for competition with host genes for the cellular biosynthetic machinery. The module includes 24 genes, tightly packed into 12 operons driven by the previously identified early promoters P sub(E)1 to P sub(E)12. The genes are smaller than average, with half of them having fewer than 100 codons. Most of their inferred products show little similarity to known proteins, although zinc finger, trans-membrane, and RNA polymerase-binding domains were identified. Transcription-termination and RNase III cleavage sites were found at appropriate locations.

Differences in the principal themes of each paper are discussed; whereas the 1977 paper emphasized social cohesion, equality, & cultural identity, the 1997 paper privileged cultural identity, social justice, & economic efficiency. The respective structures & treatment of issues of globalization, cultural identity, aboriginality, Australianness & Australian citizenship, & literacy are described; specifically, whereas the 1977 paper supported bilingualism & promulgated specific recommendations for resolving literacy discrepancies between white & non-white Australians, the 1997 paper failed to explicitly recognize the connection between ethnic identity & educational outcome. It is concluded that the 1997 paper will continue to undermine public support for improved multicultural policies. 3 References. J. W.

AN - 73870632; 9722042 AB - Oleic acid (OA) can produce a lung injury similar to the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Elastase and superoxides are thought to have an effect in ARDS. However, the effect that elastase and superoxide have in OA lung injury is unclear. To examine their involvement in OA lung injury, we tested the effects of methoxysuccinyl-alanyl-alanyl-prolyl-valyl chloromethyl ketone (MAAPVCK), an elastase inhibitor, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), an active oxygen scavenger, on the increase in pulmonary vascular permeability caused by OA. We also examined whether OA stimulated elastase and/or superoxide release from polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Prospective trial. University laboratory. (1) Guinea pigs were anesthetized. MAAPVCK (2.5 mg/ kg) or NAC (150 mg/kg) was infused over OA (15 microl/kg) injection. Evans blue was used to measure vascular permeability. (2) PMNs were isolated from the blood of guinea pigs and rats. Elastase release was measured with MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Superoxide production was measured by the ferricytochrome c reduction method. OA caused pulmonary hemorrhage and an increase in vascular permeability. MAAPVCK and NAC significantly attenuated the increase in vascular permeability in distal bronchus and trachea, respectively. OA induced superoxide production from PMNs in guinea pigs, but elastase release from PMNs was not detected. These results suggest that elastase and superoxide are involved in OA lung injury.

AN - 73866770; 9721338 AB - In recent years, accumulated evidence indicates that free radical species and nitric oxide (NO) or its derivatives are the key denominators in carcinogenesis. Our present topics discussed in this article will focus on the biological significance of free radical generation induced by viral and bacterial infections. In influenza virus infection in mice, the level of xanthine oxidase (XO) at the infected sites was elevated to a great extent. The timing of paralleled induction of XO with that of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) indicates efficient simultaneous reaction: NO + O2*- --> ONOO- (peroxynitrite). Peroxynitrite formation was identified by immunostaining of nitrotyrosine at the local site of infected organs. Peroxynitrite exhibits unique chemical reactivities such as protein nitration, DNA-strand breakage, guanine nitration, etc., which may then bring about not only cytotoxic effect but also mutagenesis. Numbers of evidence in vitro and in vivo show that treatment with chemical carcinogens such as carbon tetrachloride and heterocyclic amines also generated superoxide. The chronic inflammatory reactions, e.g., zymosan- and silica-induced granuloma, revealed very similar free radical generation in vivo. In addition, most experimental solid tumors have elevated levels of iNOS in the tumor tissue, and NO thus generated facilitates vascular permeability, which accelerates nutritional supply to the tumor tissue and hence sustains the rapid tumor growth. These circumstantial evidences suggest that inflammatory responses induced by various pathogens would accelerate mutagenesis as well as tissue damage, whereas NO also sustains more effectively solid tumor growth when normal cells are transformed to tumor or carcinoma cells by the host-derived free radical species.

AN - 62558644; ED420968 AB - This report describes the plans of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) to convert their talking books service to a digitally based audio system. The NLS program selects and produces full-length books and magazines in braille and on recorded disc and cassettes and distributes them to a cooperating network of regional and subregional libraries, where they are circulated to eligible borrowers. The NLS plans to convert the talking book system to a digital system. The report outlines key factors in the design of the NLS system, steps in planning for the transition to a digital system, and design-phase tasks. Timing of introduction of the NLS digital talking books and the development of a technical standard for digital talking books through the National Information Standards Organization are also discussed. Examples of activities to test the effectiveness of the digital system are summarized and 20 steps of next-generation NLS technology are provided. The report emphasizes the need to involve consumers to gain feedback and describes methods of obtaining feedback. Appendices highlight details to be considered in implementing the digital talking-book program and a flow chart of the contracting process. (Contains 34 references.)

The booklet's introduction indicates that, of the 2.8 million postsecondary students enrolled in 1995-96, 56 percent were enrolled in master's degree programs, 12 percent in doctoral programs, 12 percent in first-professional programs, and 20 percent in nondegree programs. The next section provides more detail on master's degree students, breaking down enrollments into the following categories: business administration (where 51 percent of students received financial aid); education (where 41 percent received aid); and arts or science (where 58 percent received aid). The section on doctoral degree students notes that 70 percent were in Ph.D. programs, 12 percent in Ed.D. programs, and 18 percent in other doctoral programs. This section notes that while two-thirds of Ph.D. students received financial aid, relatively few Ed.D. students received financial aid, reflecting the predominantly part-time enrollment and full-time employment of ED. students. The section on first-professional students notes that 74 percent borrowed money to finance their education an average of $47,700 for law students and $55,900 for medical students graduating in 1995-96. Data are presented in 10 tables and charts. (DB) AU - Choy, Susan P. AU - Moskovitz, Ron AU - Malizio, Andrew G.

National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, 1996. AN - 62554796; ED421042 AB - This study used data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study to examine issues concerning undergraduate students who worked while enrolled in postsecondary education during 1995-96. Unlike earlier studies of student employment, this study distinguished between undergraduates who work primarily to pay for their schooling and those who have established employment which they combine with postsecondary study. About one-half of undergraduates identified themselves as students who work; 29 percent identified themselves as employees who study; and the remaining did not work while enrolled. Students who worked reported working an average of 25 hours per week. Students in four-year institutions or students attending full time were more likely to report working 15 or fewer hours and less likely to report working full time than counterparts enrolled in two-year institutions or those attending part-time. Overall, more than one in four students who worked felt that work adversely affected their academic program. Students working 15 or fewer hours were much less likely than students working more hours to report that work limited their class choices, their class schedules, the number of classes they could take, or access to the library. There was also a clear relationship between academic persistence and work intensity and some indication that students may substitute working for money borrowing. Data re presented in nine tables and charts. (DB) AU - Horn, Laura J.

The second-year report presents information about charter schools for the 1996-97 school year and is based on a telephone survey designed to collect data from all operational charter schools. The executive summary offers an overview of the report's focus, and it details the growth trends of charter schools. It looks at the states' role in charter schools and discusses key legislative features that dictate the number and types of charter schools that are created within each state. Some characteristics of charter schools are given, such as their size, their nontraditional configurations, and their history. Profiles of students who attend these schools are offered, along with details on how these schools have similar racial/ethnic distribution, how they are similarity to other district schools, and how they serve students of color and low-income students. Some of the reasons why charter schools are started are given, along with some of the factors that attract parents to these schools. The summary closes with a description of some of the challenges facing those who wish to start a charter school.

Second-Year Report. AN - 62483875; ED423612 AB - The second-year report of the National Study of Charter Schools updates information on charter schools presented in the first report of the study. The study is a 4-year research effort (September 1995 to September 1999) intended to document and analyze the charter-school movement. It was designed to provide information about what kind of charter schools become operational, about factors that influence charter schools' development, and about how schools are implementing their charters. The second-year report presents information about charter schools for the school year 1997-97 and is based on a telephone survey designed to collect data from the 428 charter schools in operation at that time. The report is also based on site visits to 91 charter schools. It places charter schools in perspective by looking at their operations, accountability, and impact on public education. It demonstrates state approaches to the charter concept, including legislative mandates, and focuses on characteristics of charter schools, students of charter schools, why charter schools are started and what attracts parents to them, and challenges in the implementation of charter schools. Five appendices offer information on the study's research design, a state legislative overview, and other information.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62469227; ED423247 AB - This report, eighth in a series, provides information about the 100 largest school districts in the United States and outlying areas during the 1995-96 school year and revenues and expenditures for the 1995 fiscal year. The information was provided by state education agencies to the National Center for Education Statistics for the Common Core of Data. Characteristics of these districts and their students and staff are provided in 10 basic tables, which follow four text tables that set the context for the information on the largest school districts. The 100 largest school districts, representing less than 1% of all school districts in the nation, were responsible for the education of 23% of all public school students. These large districts employed 21% of the nation's public school teachers, and accounted for 17% of all public schools and 18% of public high school graduates. In the 100 largest districts, school sizes were larger than the average school district. In addition, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher mean pupil-teacher ratio, at 18.5 to 1, compared to 17.2 to 1 for the average school district. Three states, Florida, Texas, and California, accounted for over one-third of the 100 largest school districts. The proportion of minority students in the 100 largest school districts was almost double the proportion of minority students in all districts (65% compared to 36%). Among schools that reported eligibility for free lunches, 45% of the students in the 100 largest school districts were eligible for free lunch, compared to 33% of all students in reporting states. Current expenditures per student in the 100 largest school districts ranged from a low of $2,417 in Puerto Rico to a high of $10,925 in the Newark (New Jersey) public schools. Among the 20 largest school districts, 7 have increased in size by over 20% since 1986. Conversely, Detroit (Michigan), Chicago (Illinois), and Puerto Rico have experienced declines in membership since 1986. Twelve appendixes present supplemental tables of data about enrollment and staffing. (Contains 26 tables.)

There were no ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella isolates. The prevalence of resistance to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole and nalidixic acid varied between isolates. It increased to similar degrees in isolates from both Matlab and Dhaka. However, resistance to mecillinam was more prevalent among isolates from Matlab than from Dhaka. The increase in mecillinam-resistant Shigellae in the community may have grave implications for the empirical treatment of shigellosis in Bangladesh and other developing countries.

Expression of gfp could be visualized in Vibrio sp. strain S141 cells at uniform levels of intensity from either the lac or the npt-2 promoter, whereas expression of gfp could be visualized in Psychrobacter sp. strain SW5H cells at various levels of intensity only from the npt-2 promoter. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorescence was not detected in the third species, Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain S91, when the gfp gene was expressed from either promoter. A new mini-Tn10-kan-gfp transposon was constructed to investigate further the possibilities of fluorescence tagging of marine bacteria. Insertion of mini-Tn10-kan-gfp generated random stable mutants at high frequencies with all three marine species. With this transposon, strongly and weakly expressed S91 promoters were isolated. Visualization of GFP by epifluorescence microscopy was markedly reduced when S91 (mini-Tn10-kan-gfp) cells were grown in rich medium compared to that when cells were grown in minimal medium. Mini-Tn10-kan-gfp was used to create an S91 chitinase-negative, GFP-positive mutant. Expression of the chi-gfp fusion was induced in cells exposed to N'-acetylglucosamine or attached to chitin particles. By laser scanning confocal microscopy, biofilms consisting of microcolonies of chi-negative, GFP super(+) S91 cells were found to be localized several microns from a natural chitin substratum. Tagging bacterial strains with GFP enables visualization of, as well as monitoring of gene expression in, living single cells in situ and in real time.

A major target has been the improvement of the amino acid composition of seed protein - in particular the lysine content of cereals and the methionine content of legume seeds. Here we focus on attempts to improve the concentration of sulphur-containing amino acids (S-amino acids) in legume seeds by the introduction of genes encoding proteins with a high methionine content.

They are monocyclic heptapeptides, characterised by some invariant amino acids, including one of unusual structure which is essential for expression of toxicity. Microcystins are chemically stable, but suffer biodegradation in reservoir waters. The most common member of the family, microcystin-LR (L and R identifying the 2 variable amino acids, in this case leucine and arginine respectively) has an LD sub(50) in mice and rats of 36-122 mu g/kg by various routes, including aerosol inhalation. Although human illnesses attributed to microcystins include gastroenteritis and allergic/irritation reactions, the primary target of the toxin is the liver, where disruption of the cytoskeleton, consequent on inhibition of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, causes massive hepatic haemorrhage. Microcystins are tight-binding inhibitors of these protein phosphatases, with inhibition constants in the nanomolar range or lower. Uptake of microcystins into the liver occurs via a carrier-mediated transport system, and several inhibitors of uptake can antagonise the toxic effects of microcystins. The most effective of these is the antibiotic rifampin (a drug approved for clinical use), which protects mice and rats against microcystin-induced lethality when given prophylactically and, in some cases, therapeutically.

Nymphs of A. obscuricornis remained predominantly on host plants on which they were initially observed for much of their development. Some movements between hosts occurred with migrating nymphs ranging in age from second to fourth instar. Most adults observed for the first time on hosts were males, a number of which were later recorded with females. Males were observed to have longer host residence times (7-56 days) than females ( less than or equal to 7 days). Complete nymphal development was roughly estimated to take considerably fewer degree-days under fluctuating field temperatures than at constant temperature. This suggested that other mechanisms (e.g. basking) may significantly influence nymphal growth and development.

Information concerning 103 cases was obtained from inspection of coronial files. The fatality incidence per 100,000 person-years was high for miners (63.2) compared to the entire Australian workforce. Travelling for work purposes, obtaining minerals or coal and performing maintenance tasks were the most common activities being performed at the time of the fatal injury. Being hit by falling objects, often during a face or roof collapse in an underground mine, was the most common mechanism of fatal injury. Poor work practice, unstable terrain, equipment or machinery problems and a lack of safe operating procedures or inappropriate safe operating procedures were the most common contributing factors to the fatal incidents. It is recommended that there be emphasis on the development of and adherence to safe operating procedures, preventative maintenance of equipment, adequate training of workers, appropriate design of equipment and adequate communication facilities. The on-going national collection of data regarding both fatal and non-fatal injuries in the mining industry is advocated.

MRSA have acquired the mecA gene which confers clinical resistance to all beta -lactam antibiotics. Since their emergence MRSA have acquired additional resistance determinants by mutation, transposition and plasmid transfer. Until recently the only antibiotic to which MRSA had not acquired resistance was vancomycin. However, recent reports of low-level vancomycin-resistant MRSA may presage limitations in the effectiveness of vancomycin in the treatment of staphylococcal infections. While S. aureus is a well adapted pathogen, some strains of MRSA appear to possess an enhanced ability to spread within hospitals; these strains are sometimes referred to as `epidemic strains'. The genetic characteristics which confer epidemicity on these strains have not yet been identified.

The method was motivated by a study of larvae of the red-headed cockchafer which were reared and weighed regularly for a range of constant temperatures using largely field-collected first, second and third-instar larvae. These larvae had undergone an unknown but significant proportion of their development in the field. The method first models development rate as a function of temperature using relative growth rates in mean larval weight. Predicted mean larval weight was then used as a physiological time scale in an ordinal regression model of the proportion of the population in each of first to third-instar stage. An algorithm to predict proportions in the field of each stage up to and including the pupal stage given a known starting date for the population and daily maximum and minimum soil temperatures is described and tested using data from two field sites. Growth rates under laboratory conditions were slower than those in the field probably due to the handling required for weighing. As a result, an adjustment to the rate parameter and a 10 degree C lower development threshold were required for the growth and phenology models to predict trajectories for mean larval weight and proportion of second-instar larvae which were consistent with observations from the field sites.

A genotype-specific necrosis was observed 3 to 6 days post inoculation for constructs derived from avrB4, avrb7, and avrBIn on cotton lines containing the resistance (R) genes B4, b7, and BIn, respectively, but not on susceptible cotton plants. No necrosis was obtained with plasmids that direct expression of avr genes within A. tumefaciens, showing that the cotton response required transfer of the genes into the plant cells. Addition of a signal peptide sequence into the avr constructs to target expressed Avr protein to the apoplast significantly reduced the responses. The results indicate that intracellular expression of Xcm Avr proteins in cotton having the corresponding R gene causes specific host cell death.

Pollutants generate various degrees of responses in exposed populations due to polymorphisms in the genes. The study develops an oligonucleotide-hybridization screening process to rapidly identify DNA sequence differences between Ahr polymorphism in mice. The hybridization patterns show that the method can be used to identify mouse Ahr nucleotide differences with reliability. It can identify sequence polymorphisms without the need for more costly DNA sequencing. The usefulness of a yeast two-hybrid assay for quantification of the mouse AHR phenotype is also demonstrated. The two methods provide a new approach to analyze human AHR polymorphisms which may be involved in diseases caused by AHR ligands such as dioxin and BaP.

PCP often contained chemical impurities including chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDD) and chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDF). The study investigates the effects of PCP and its CDD and CDF contaminants on 366 workers engaged in the production of PCP between 1938 and 1978. Results were compared to 366 workers from the same plant never exposed to these compounds. The morbidity survey assessed the general health status of the workers and the prevalence of chloracne and disorders of porphyrin metabolism. The PCP workers exhibited current of past chloracne and higher mean urinary excretion of coproporphyrins. Workers who had been exposed to both PCP and polychlorinated byphenyls had higher mean urinary excretions of hepta-, penta-, and coproporphyrins than the workers not engaged in the production of PCP. The study shows that occupational exposure to PCP is associated with chloracne and biochemical abnormalities which may continue years after exposure.

One of the most common cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa, produces microcystistins, a group of cyclic heptapeptide compounds which are hepatoxic and can stimulate tumor activity. The study investigates the effect of microcystic cyanobacteria on rat hepatocytes by examining the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in cells. Mitochondrial are known to be targets of toxins because of their role in maintaining cellular structure and function. A Rhodamine 123 was used to determine changes in mitochondrial damage, and another fluorescent scope, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate was used to assess increases in ROS formation.

Several chemicals in tobacco smoke are proven carcinogens, including benzo(a)pyrene, N-nitroso compounds, 4-aminobiphenyl, and vinyl chloride. Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene occurs in most human cancers, including lung cancer. Data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer p53 mutation database were analyzed, confirming that G to T transversions are the predominant type of p53 mutations in lung cancer. In addition, lung cancer from smokers shows a different p53 mutation from lung cancer from nonsmokers. This pattern strengthens the association between smoking, exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo(a)pyrene, and lung cancer.

Most of these radicals involve oxygen. Toxic consequences of oxidative stress include lipid peroxidation and oxiradical-generated damage to DNA and proteins. Mammals have been used as models for the study of oxidative stress because of interest in human health issues. Inflammation, ischemic reperfusion injury, aging, and cancer have all been associated with oxidative stress in mammals. Oxidative stress also occurs in aquatic organisms. Mammalian and piscine models exhibit similar toxicological and oxidative stress responses, showing that fish could be used as good biomonitoring tools and as suitable models for studying oxidative toxicity.

The Agricultural Health Study is an epidemiological study of registered pesticide applicators in Iowa and North Carolina. A questionnaire was sent to 35,000 applicators inquiring about medical visits related to pesticide exposure. In the cross-sectional analysis, demographic variables, frequency of insecticide use, and work practices were significantly associated with pesticide-related health visits. Results showed the odds of a pesticide-related health visit were greater for commercial applicators than private applicators. Significantly higher odds of health visits were found for North Carolina applicators than Iowa applicators. Demographic variables were also identified - lower odds were found for female applicators than for male applicators, and for applicators who had graduated from high school than for those who had not. The method of application, the mixing of pesticides and repairing application equipment also increased risk.

In the first, changes in water potential and relative water content (RWC) of leaves and hydraulic resistance in the lower stem were recorded during exposure. In the two subsequent trials, different exposure conditions resulted in different rates of desiccation. After various exposure times, roots were soaked for 24 h in aerated distilled water under continuous light before measuring root and whole plant hydraulic resistance. Exposure for 5-8 h and accompanying short term leaf water stress to below -2 MPa resulted in significant increases in hydraulic resistance of stem, roots and whole plant. Although leaf water potentials at the longest exposure times in one trial fell below the probable turgor loss point, there was no apparent permanent leaf damage. In the two trials in which roots were soaked before hydraulic resistances were measured, there was a marked difference in the response of leaf water potential to soaking. Although hydraulic resistance increased with longer exposure in both trials, the results from one trial suggested a further increase during soaking. Differences between the two trials suggested differences between plants before treatment or the soaking treatment itself may also have influenced water relations after exposure. Results are discussed in terms of the practical implications, particularly effects of nursery management on the condition of trees at lifting and subsequent water relations of lifted seedlings during and after transplanting. Some aspects of regulation of water stress by E. regnans seedlings are also discussed.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and Families of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62378161; ED437411 AB - A hearing was held on the re-authorization of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB). Mary R. Blanton, Vice Chair of the NAGB, spoke about its mission and plans for design changes under the re-authorization. She also outlined the role of the NAGB in overseeing the voluntary national test and discussed state-based competency measures. Michael F. Ward, North Carolina Superintendent of Schools, represented the Council of Chief State School Officers as he spoke on the importance of the NAEP and the NAGB. As a representative of commercial test publishers, Larry Snowhite of Riverside addressed several key issues regarding the re-authorization of the NAEP. Martha Schwartz, representative of a grass-roots organization focusing on mathematics education, urged the inclusion of content-based learning standards with a reliable test to match the standards. Christopher Klicka, Executive Director of the Home School Legal Defense Association, expressed concerns that expansion of the roles of the NAEP and NAGB would lead to increased nationalization of education standards and testing. Ambrosio E. Rodriguez , of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, also testified about the importance of high standards. Nine appendixes contain the written statements of these witnesses and remarks from two congressmen.

The surface flux density of CO sub(2) from the soil (f sub(m)) is derived from integration of the source term with depth. The model was tested using 2 years of monthly measurements of the soil CO sub(2) concentration profile in a sand containing a Pinus radiata D. Don tree. Modelled surface flux density (f sub(m)) at the base of the tree was consistently greater than surface flux density (f sub(0)) measured 0.35 m away with an average ratio of f sub(m) to f sub(0) of 2.5 (R super(2) = 0.83). This was explained by decreasing root length density (L sub(v)) with radial distance from the tree stem. An exponential function for decrease of L sub(v) and the surface flux density of CO sub(2) with increasing radial distance from the tree stem and an analytical expression of the total CO sub(2) flux from the soil around a growing tree root system were derived. Length scales for both the decrease in root length density and CO sub(2) flux with radial distance were similar. An expression to estimate the radial distance from the tree stem, that gives an average plot value of CO sub(2) surface flux density was also derived.

Hearing on the Current Condition of BIA Schools before the Committee on Indian Affairs. United States Senate, 105th Congress, Second Session. AN - 62432780; ED432126 AB - A Senate hearing was held regarding the current condition of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools. The BIA selection process for building and repairing these schools was resumed; and discussed innovative measures for financing BIA schools was discussed. This document includes testimony from the Director of the National Indian Education Association, the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, and the President of the Dakota Area Consortium of Treaty Schools, Inc., along with prepared statements from other interested parties. Among the information presented is the fact that there is a $1.5 billion backlog of needed repairs, renovations, and replacement for all federally owned and operated BIA schools. Half of BIA schools are over 30 years old, and one quarter of the schools are over 50 years old--all of which fail to meet current codes and standards. Overall, BIA schools are generally in poorer physical condition than even central city schools, have less technology than the average American school, and have funding that is at crisis levels. Numerous statements and attachments illustrating these observations conclude the report.

Inhibition of the replication of HIV-1 IIIB and primary drug-resistant strains in pooled transduced CEMT4 cells was consistently found to be more than 80% compared with the control-vector transduced cells, whereas a mutant RRz2 gave approximately 45% inhibition. A multiple HIV-1 passage assay showed the absence of emergence of mutations within the specific viral RNA ribozyme target sequences. This lack of generation of ribozyme "escape mutants" occurred despite the almost complete disappearance of a HIV-1 quasi-species in the testing virus. When RRz2 was tested in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from HIV-1-infected patients, paired analysis showed that cell viability in the ribozyme-transduced HIV-1-infected PBLs was significantly higher than that in the vector-transduced cells. This difference in viability (vector versus RRz2) was not observed in PBLs from non-HIV-1-infected donors. Taken together, these results indicate that the transfer of an anti-HIV-1 ribozyme gene into human T lymphocytes could have major impact on viral replication and T cell viability in the HIV-1-infected individual.

AN - 62231615; ED456240 AB - A study examined the extent to which military training and experience adequately prepared individuals for civilian credentialing (licensure and certification), first in the healthcare and aircraft maintenance fields and then in a variety of other fields. The survey relied on information about occupational credentialing requirements from the Department of Labor (DOL) and military curricula and records. The study found that 105 of the 438 enlisted occupations with civilian equivalents had some form of credentialing requirements. The study also found that the most comprehensive attempt to enhance service members' ability to become credentialed is conducted through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) program. Although the DANTES program is an important step towards alleviating the credentialing barriers that face transitional military personnel, the program can address only a limited number of occupations because of its limited scope. The study concluded that civilian licensure and certification can present a significant barrier to employment for transitional military personnel. Recommendations were made for the Department of Defense to provide service members with more information about credentialing while they are still in training, to stay abreast of changes in occupational fields in order to present the most relevant occupational training, to explore the feasibility of an apprenticeship program, and to fund DANTES at a level that will ensure service members are informed of inservice opportunities for credentialing. In addition, the Department of Labor was asked to close the gap between military training and credentialing requirements. (Six exhibits and a table are used to display the study's findings.)

AN - 79959630; 9634587 AB - To broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gibberellin (GA) action, we isolated a spindly clone (HvSPY) from barley cultivar Himalaya and tested whether the HvSPY protein would modulate GA action in barley aleurone. The HvSPY cDNA showed high sequence identity to Arabidopsis SPY along its entire length, and the barley protein functionally complemented the spy-3 mutation. HvSPY and SPY proteins showed sequence relatedness with animal O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferases (OGTs), suggesting that they may also have OGT activity. HvSPY has a locus distinct from that of Sln, a mutation that causes the constitutive GA responses of slender barley, which phenotypically resembles Arabidopsis spy mutants. The possibility that the HvSPY gene encodes a negative regulator of GA action was tested by expressing HvSPY in a barley aleurone transient assay system. HvSPY coexpression largely abolished GA3-induced activity of an alpha-amylase promoter. Surprisingly, HvSPY coexpression increased reporter gene activity from an abscisic acid (ABA)-inducible gene promoter (dehydrin), even in the absence of exogenous ABA. These results show that HvSPY modulates the transcriptional activities of two hormonally regulated promoters: negatively for a GA-induced promoter and positively for an ABA-induced promoter.

AN - 62553167; ED421545 AB - This document is the 27th report in a series begun in 1964. It provides revisions to projections shown in "Projections of Education Statistics to 2007" and includes statistics on elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education at the national level. Included are projections for enrollment, graduates, classroom teachers, and expenditures to the year 2008. The report also includes projections of public elementary and secondary enrollment and high school graduates to the year 2008 at the state level. These projections reflect revisions influenced by the 1990 Census with the incorporation of 1996 estimates and latest assumptions for the fertility rate, net immigration, and mortality rate. A methodology section describes the models and assumptions used to develop the national projections, which are based on a cohort survival model, an age-specific enrollment rate model, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. Most of the projections include three alternatives based on different assumptions about growth paths. Total public and private elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase from 51.4 million in 1996 to 54.5 million in 2006, but then total enrollment is projected to decrease to 54.3 million by the year 2008. Higher education is projected to increase from an estimated 14.3 million in 1996 to 16.1 million by 2008.

AN - 62543068; ED419900 AB - This study uses data from the 1988 National Education Longitudinal Study and its 1994 followup to examine the educational and employment attainment of 1988 eighth graders who dropped out of high school. About half of them ultimately completed high school. By 1994, 16% had completed a high school diploma, 29% had completed a General Educational Development (GED) or equivalency certificate, and 24% were working on a diploma or GED. The remaining one-third of dropouts had no credential and were not pursuing any further education. High school completion among dropouts was associated with socioeconomic status. Dropouts who had demonstrated academic ability, although not necessarily academic performance, were most likely to complete high school. By 1994, 2 years after most of the"cohort" had completed high school, high school completion among dropouts was associated with some educational, but few employment, characteristics. In 1994, most dropouts were either working, looking for work, or at home. About the same proportion of dropouts as 1988 eighth graders who had never dropped out reported working full time or part time in 1994, but those who had never dropped out were more likely to be taking academic courses. More than half of those who had never dropped out were enrolled in 2-year or 4-year postsecondary institutions. About one in four dropouts had enrolled in a postsecondary institution by 1994.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62540497; ED420452 AB - Drawing on data from the 1995 National Household Education Survey, this report examines the characteristics of the care and education children receive on a regular basis before they enter school. The report focuses on various characteristics of child care arrangements categorized into two groups: those that have been associated with children's development and those that stem from parental concerns other than child development, such as family budget or work schedules. Following an introduction detailing data sources and limitations and what characteristics of child and family and of non-parental care are of interest, the report presents factors and findings in the following areas: (1) what were children's experiences in non-parental care in 1995; (2) what factors were associated with the types and characteristics of the child care arrangements that parents chose; (3) what were parents' sources of information and preferences regarding child care arrangements; (4) what were parents' preferences related to the attributes of the child care arrangements they selected; and (5) what were parents' preferences related to the types of arrangements they selected. The final section of the report provides a summary and conclusions. Among the findings highlighted are the following: (1) compared with children who did not have various characteristics associated with school failure, children who had these characteristics spent more time in nonparental care and were more likely to be in multiple care arrangements; (2) parents valued having their children cared for by a trained provider and with a small number of children, cost of child care was almost as important as the number children cared for; (3) a variety of other child care characteristics were related to parents' choices, including distance between home and care, whether sick child care was available, and whether English was spoken most of the time; and (4) inconsistent relationships were found between cost of care and characteristics associated with positive child outcomes. The report's two appendices present supplemental tables of data and technical notes and methodology of the study. (Contains 57 references.) (HTH) AU - Hofferth, Sandra L. AU - Shauman, Kimberlee A.

A textual analysis reveals how this process of professionalization negotiated the boundaries of gender & class in late-19th-century England, maintaining a conventionality through the religious rubric in which the offer to be a lady missionary was constructed. Critical to this religiosity & its ability to twin convention with iconoclasm was the discursive presence of the imperial & colonial Other. Methodological issues of interpreting & re-presenting the narratives of the past from a secular feminist contemporary location are considered. Adapted from the source document.

AN - 21356192; 7674055 AB - We have developed and applied a new measurement methodology to investigate dermal absorption of chloroform while bathing. Ten subjects bathed in chlorinated water while breathing pure air through a face mask. Their exhaled breath was delivered to a glow discharge source/ion trap mass spectrometer for continuous real-time measurement of chloroform in the breath. This new method provides abundant data compared to previous discrete time-integrated breath sampling methods. The method is particularly well suited to studying dermal exposure because the full face mask eliminates exposure to contaminated air. Seven of the 10 subjects bathed in water at two or three different temperatures between 30 degrees C and 40 degrees C. Subjects at the highest temperatures exhaled about 30 times more chloroform than the same subjects at the lowest temperatures. This probably results from a decline in blood flow to the skin at the lower temperatures as the body seeks to conserve heat forcing the chloroform to diffuse over a much greater path length before encountering the blood. These results suggest that pharmacokinetic models need to employ temperature-dependent parameters. Two existing models predict quite different times of about 12 min and 29 min for chloroform flux through the stratum corneum to reach equilibrium. At 40 degrees C, the time for the flux to reach a near steady-state value is 6-9 min. Although uptake and decay processes involve several body compartments, the complicating effect of the stratum corneum lag time made it difficult to fit multiexponential curves to the data; however, a single-compartment model gave a satisfactory fit.

AN - 21270848; 11702161 AB - On 15-16 September 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored the Conference on Preventable Causes of Cancer in Children. The conference was convened to examine rising trends in reported incidence of childhood cancer and the association of these trends with environmental exposures. This paper summarizes recommendations for future research offered by participants. These recommendations included more collaborative research integrating epidemiology, molecular biology, toxicology, and risk assessment; the development of better protocols for toxicologic testing including carcinogenicity using young animals; and research focused on specific periods of development during which susceptibility to environmental agents may be enhanced. Also recommended was enhanced use and development of molecular biomarkers for identification of susceptible populations, and documentation of exposures and effects in epidemiologic and toxicologic studies. Although toxicologic testing is considered essential to determine the effects of potential carcinogens on biological organisms, participants emphasized the need to link these findings with epidemiologic and exposure assessment research.

AN - 21259334; 11703738 AB - An improved understanding of the contribution made by environmental exposures to disease burden in children is essential, given current increasing rates of childhood illnesses such asthma and cancer. Children must be routinely included in environmental research. Exposure assessment, both external (e.g., air, water) and internal dose (e.g., biomarkers), is an integral component of such research. Biomarker measurement has some advantages that are unique in children. These include assessment of potentially increased absorption because of behaviors that differ from adults (i.e., hand-to-mouth activity); metabolite measurement, which can help identify age-related susceptibility differences; and improved assessment of dermal exposure, an important exposure route in children. Environmental exposure assessment in children will require adaption of techniques that are currently applied in adult studies as well as development of tools and validation of strategies that are unique for children. Designs that focus on parent-child study units provide adult comparison data and allow the parent to assist with more complex study designs. Use of equipment that is sized appropriately for children, such as small air pumps and badge monitors, is also important. When biomarkers are used, biologic specimens that can be obtained noninvasively are preferable. Although the current need is primarily for small focused studies to address specific questions and optimize research tools, the future will require establishment of large prospective cohorts. Urban children are an important study cohort because of relatively high morbidity observed in the urban environment. Finally, examples of completed or possible future studies utilizing these techniques are discussed for specific exposures such as benzene, environmental tobacco smoke, aflatoxin, volatile organic compounds, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

AN - 21258009; 11703736 AB - Children are highly susceptible to deleterious effects of environmental toxins. Those who live in underserved communities may be particularly at risk because environmental pollution has been found to be disproportionately distributed among communities. Mounting evidence suggests that asthma rates are rising and that this disease can be caused or aggravated by air pollution. Although ambient air quality has generally improved, these improvements have not reached minority communities in equal proportions. This and other data has fueled the concept of environmental justice or environmental equity, which has led to community activism and government actions. One possible example of environmental inequity and its consequences is the Hunt's Point community, in the South Bronx, New York. This community experiences a high pollution burden with the siting of facilities that emit hazardous wastes into the air. Our approach to this problem has been the formation of mechanisms for bidirectional communication between community residents, government entities, and academic institutions such as Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a result of this experience, we believe that the key to achieving environmental health, especially in communities of color where many children are at risk, is to empower residents to take charge of their environment by providing relevant educational opportunities. Strategies for environmental health education include multitiered training approaches that include community residents, parent education, direct children education, and community education through professional counselors and train-the-trainer approaches. We propose that academic researchers must use community residents not just as subjects of our studies, but to increase our mutual understanding of environmental health, resulting in active participation of community members in research design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination of results in order to make intervention strategies more effective.

AN - 21253803; 11702164 AB - There is increasing evidence that some environmental chemicals can interrupt neurodevelopmental processes during critical periods of development, resulting in effects on sensory, motor, and cognitive function. It is now generally accepted that developing organisms are differentially sensitive to chemical exposure because of toxicokinetic and/or toxicodynamic factors. Regulatory mechanisms have been implemented to protect humans from over- or inappropriate exposures to environmental chemicals. Current regulatory practices, however, may be insufficient because of the possibility that some environmental chemicals interfere with endocrine function at key periods of neurodevelopment. In addition, a recent National Research Council (NRC) report on pesticide contamination in the diets of infants and children concluded that current regulatory practices may not sufficiently protect infants and children from the risk of pesticide exposure. The NRC report indicates that regulatory agencies might underestimate the actual exposure of infants and children to pesticides and rely too heavily on data from adults in the risk assessment of pesticides. Consideration of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and the differential susceptibility of infants and children has led to identification of a number of information gaps and research needs that should be addressed in order to improve future risk assessments for these chemicals.

AN - 21251860; 11702163 AB - This paper describes a research partnership between the people of Akwesasne and researchers from the State University of New York at Albany for the study of polychlorinated biphenyls and the health of Mohawk youth. The study is distinctive because its goals have been set by the scientists and the community members and is being conducted jointly by these groups. The research partnership recognizes the history of relationships between native and nonnative peoples, particularly scientists, and seeks not only to fulfill certain scientific goals but to further community ones as well. The relationship is based on three principles: mutual respect, mutual equity, and mutual empowerment. These principles guided every aspect of the research process. The project goals were determined jointly to maximize data quality and minimize the intrusion of research activities into the lives of community members. Data collection is performed by research assistants who received extensive and ongoing training in data collection methods, and who are members of the community. Feedback procedures were designed by community members and scientists jointly to maximize understanding. Feedback regarding individuals' pollutant levels and assessments of growth and development are provided to each individual. Information about community pollutant levels are provided to the community. Hypothesis testing is carried out by research scientists, and the results presented first at a community meeting. Research conducted in this way--as a partnership--requires more communication, discussion, and travel, but the result is mutual satisfaction and growth.

P exhibits a tendency to be out of phase with daily maximum temperature, Tmax, and this results in P tending to be out of phase with both the daily average temperature, Tbar (estimated here as the average of Tmax and the daily minimum, Tmin), and the DTR (diurnal temperature range, Tmax-Tmin). The association between P and Tmin is generally weak. The (expected) increase in P associated with a positive Southern Oscillation Index is (generally) accompanied by reduced average temperatures (Tbar) and a reduced DTR, both of which primarily arise from a reduction in Tmax. When variability in both P and Tmin associated with Tmax is removed, the residual signals (P* and Tmin*) show widespread statistically significant positive correlations, consistent with the hypothesis that clouds help to reduce night-time cooling. These relationships are less clear at near-coastal sites, and absent at the island and exposed coastal sites considered. Results from three separate ten-year integrations of the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre's atmospheric general circulation model were then examined. The tendency for (a) P to be out of phase with Tmax, Tbar and the DTR and (b) P* to be in phase with Tmin* over Australia on interannual time-scales was also generally evident over land elsewhere, except at high latitudes and over North Africa. An analysis of the model's surface heat budget over land showed that this arises from associated surface short wave radiation and latent heating anomalies. The latter is generally more important over low-latitude regions where deep convection occurs, with the hierarchy reversed elsewhere. Evaporative cooling anomalies appear to be dominated by soil moisture changes. Surface long wave radiation, sensible heating and subterranean heat exchange tend to reduce the temperature change which would otherwise occur. Recent changes in some of the relationships exhibited between observed P, T and the Southern Oscillation Index appear unusual in terms of the interdecadal variability evident in the records prior to 1972, and previous conclusions drawn on the basis of `all-Australia' P and T indices were found to have broad applicability. Interrelationships between recent changes in the 20-year means of P, T and the SOI do not match the changes that might be expected on the basis of their interrelationship on interannual time-scales. Possible reasons for the changes suggested by the analysis (e.g., global warming and naturally occurring interdecadal climate variability) are discussed.

Initially they were ill-prepared and suffered very heavy malaria casualties, even when not engaged in fighting. As a result measures were taken to make the supervision of personal protection (clothes, suppressive atebrin, repellent, mosquito nets) a matter for unit commanders rather than a medical problem. Malariologists were appointed and supervised Malaria Control Units, which were moved in with attacking troops, and Entomological Sections were established, which provided advice on vectors of malaria and other arthropod-borne diseases. In successive campaigns the casualties from malaria decreased substantially, especially after active operations in particular campaigns had ended, except in the Aitape-Wewak area, where field observations suggested that some strains of P. falciparum were resistant to the standard dose of suppressive atebrin. This was confirmed in experiments on human volunteers at a malaria research unit in Australia.

Using 868 healthy volunteers and 317 infected soldiers and A. punctuiatus mosquitoes flown in from New Guinea or bred locally, several suppressive drugs were tested. Doses of 10 grains of quinine daily failed to suppress New Guinea strains of P. falciparum and were only partially effective against P. vivax infections, whereas 100 mg of atebrin daily controlled symptoms of P. vivax infection and cured infections with most New Guinea strains of P. falciparum, however some strains of P. falciparum from Wewak were resistant to this dose, but were cured with double the daily dose.

This study was initiated to investigate the role Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) could play in managing risks and communicating risk information to regulators and the public. The utility of PRA for dairy manure and wastewater management systems was evaluated on three Texas dairies beginning in spring 1992. Information collected from dairymen, along with computerized risk analysis, was used to develop risk estimates for various environmental hazards associated with the dairies. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of individual probability estimates allowed evaluation of the risks posed by various potential nutrient loss pathways. Integration of these probability estimates with simple cost-effectiveness evaluations provided a risk/cost-effectiveness value used in comparing alternative waste management technologies. Results indicate PRA, wedded with cost-effectiveness analysis, may provide a new and effective way for the agricultural community to evaluate, manage, and communicate risk information.

Our aim was to determine if transpiration efficiency differs among key species occurring in annual pastures in southern Australia. Two glasshouse experiments were conducted with three key pasture species, subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.), capeweed [Arctotheca calendula (L.) Levyns] and annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaudin), and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Transpiration efficiency was assessed at the levels of whole-plant biomass and water use (W), leaf gas exchange measurements of the ratio of CO sub(2) assimilation to leaf conductance to water vapour (A/g), and carbon isotope discrimination ( Delta ) in leaf tissue. In addition, Delta was measured on shoots of the three pasture species growing together in the field. In the glasshouse studies, annual ryegrass had a consistently higher transpiration efficiency than subterranean clover or capeweed by all methods of measurement. Subterranean clover and capeweed had similar transpiration efficiencies by all three methods of measurement. Wheat had W values similar to ryegrass but A/g and Delta values similar to subterranean clover or capeweed. The high W of annual ryegrass seems to be related to a conservative leaf gas exchange behaviour, with lower assimilation and conductance but higher A/g than for the other species. In contrast to the glasshouse results, the three pasture species had similar Delta values when growing together in mixed-species swards in the field. Reasons for these differing responses between glasshouse and field-grown plants are discussed in terms of the implications for improving the transpiration efficiency of mixed-species annual pasture communities in the field.

No estimate is given for parasites, but brief speculation on the potential is presented. The Commonwealth Government has a clear role in funding biosystematic research in Australia in support of its Natural Heritage Trust programmes, the National Biodiversity Strategy and its responsibilities under the Biodiversity Convention, and in order to maintain adequate taxonomic capacity. As a Government programme of Environment Australia, the Australian Biological Resources Study has disbursed around A$12 million towards taxonomic and biogeographic research on animals and Protozoa. Approximately 10% of this amount has gone towards parasitology. With funding for the Study being in a somewhat parlous state, it is argued that priorities for research funding need to focus clearly on issues of national significance as expressed in Government policies, strategies and environment programmes. In addition to scientific merit, research questions and projected outputs in project applications for funding should be justified in terms of meeting the needs of end users in conservation management, primary industry, and the wider biological research community.

AN - 16553016; 4394715 AB - A group of sea-ice-derived psychrophilic bacterial strains possessing the unusual ability to synthesize the polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 omega 3) and arachidonic acid (20:4 omega 6) belong to the Family Flavobacteriaceae (Flexibacter-Bacteroides-Flavobacterium phylum), according to 165 rRNA sequence analysis. Surprisingly, the isolates were also found to cluster closely to the moderately halophilic and psychrotrophic species [Flavobacterium] gondwanense (sequence similarity 97 times 8-98 times 1%). The whole-cell fatty acid profiles of this group and [Flavobacterium] gondwanense were very similar and distinct from other related flavobacteria. The sea ice strains and [Flavobacterium] gondwanense differed substantially in terms of ecophysiology, possibly representing divergent adaptations to sympagic and planktonic marine habitats, respectively. Evidence based on phylogeny and fatty acid profiles supports the conclusion that the taxa are close relatives distinct from other bacterial groups. It is thus proposed that the sea ice strains represent a novel taxon designated Psychroflexus torquis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain ACAM 623 super(T)) while [Flavobacterium] gondwanense becomes Psychroflexus gondwanense gen. nov., comb. nov.

This paper studies the influences of four local feedbacks, occurring at single-patch spatial scales and subdiurnal temporal scales, on the surface energy balance (SEB) and land-air carbon fluxes. The feedbacks are: (i) radiative feedback, the modulation of available energy through the effect of surface temperature, T sub(s), on outgoing longwave radiation; (ii) physiological feedback, the interaction between vegetation physiology and the SEB through T sub(s); (iii) aerodynamic feedback, the modulation of turbulent heat and moisture transfer by atmospheric stability; and (iv) Convective Boundary Layer (CBL) feedback, the coupling between the daytime evolution of the SEB and CBL through saturation deficit. It is found that radiative feedback is significant only over very smooth surfaces. Physiological feedback is positive with respect to T sub(s) at moderate to high temperatures, pushing stomata towards complete closure and the SEB towards very low evaporation rates. The SEB is quite sensitive to whether or not such closure occurs. Aerodynamic feedback, on the other hand, is negative with respect to T sub(s) at these temperatures, reducing T sub(s) and attenuating the tendency for heat-induced stomatal closure. CBL feedback alone does not dampen the sensitivity of the SEB to physiological feedback and stomatal closure. However, when aerodynamic feedback is included, this sensitivity is greatly reduced.

Ardeid use of fish ponds for feeding depends on season, species and age. Winter use was greatest by Cattle Egrets Bulbucus ibis and Little Egrets Egretta garzetta, with up to 100 and 49.3% of the individuals in the study area, respectively, using this habitat. Summer use was highest by Chinese Pond Herons Ardeola bacchus (63.4% of individuals in the study area,). The flight lines of Chinese Pond Herons breeding locally revealed that 72% landed around fish ponds. Juvenile Chinese Pond Herons made significantly greater use of fish ponds than adults. Recent fish pond loss due to development is likely to have caused declines in both the number of certain ardeids wintering around Deep Bay, and the number of Little Egrets breeding at a local egretry.

However, the mucocutaneous orifices in which they rest and their vasculatures are afflicted by a number of the same processes. Most sexually transmissible infections can affect the eye, occasionally with serious consequences. The sexual health physician needs to consult an ophthalmologist from time to time, and vice versa, for assistance with the diagnosis and management of patients with a range of conditions. A sexual health physician working in a remote region might have no choice but to undertake the management of ocular disease alone. This review briefly addresses the more significant conditions with which both specialities need to be familiar. Unfortunately, few controlled trials have been conducted to provide the best guide to the management of eye conditions seen in sexual health practice.

The minerals thus formed preserve evidence of hydrological conditions prevailing within an active geothermal system; in particular, they can reflect the range of temperatures under which they formed. This feature was tested at the Ngawha geothermal system, which is different from others in New Zealand in that its reservoir comprises fractured basement rocks covered by a 500-600 m thick sequence of sedimentary rocks. Petrographic examination of cores and cuttings recovered from drillholes at Ngawha shows that the secondary minerals present within the rock matrices and veins are of different ages. The thermally sensitive minerals include epidote, titanite, biotite and clays, including some that are interlayered. Comparison of the measured downwell temperatures with those deduced from the secondary mineralogy and by homogenizing fluid inclusions, shows that the central part of the field has remained thermally stable since the youngest secondary minerals deposited there but its southern margin has cooled by 20-40 degree C or perhaps more. A likely cause of this is an inflow of cooler water from the east, which also causes the temperature inversion clearly evident in hole Ng8. By contrast, some fluid inclusion geothermometry results suggest that the northern part of the drilled field has heated since their host hydrothermal quartz crystals formed.

The model allowed use of up to five surface components to characterize the selected area, since six bands (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7) of the Landsat TM sensor were used as inputs. Among the various methods commonly used to determine end-members from the satellite image, three were selected: a) identification of one "pure" pixel representing a particular surface component from false color composites; b) average of "pure" pixels to characterize a particular end-member; and c) a method based on principal components. The best characterization of end-members was achieved by using average pure pixel reflectance. The median of the abundance images showed that, in 95% of the cases, the individual pixel compositions were explained by the selected surface components. The research has demonstrated that regional patterns of soil surface erosion features can be reliably mapped using linear spectral mixture analysis. Extrapolation of this approach to other regions where soil degradation features are correlated with spectrally distinguishable surface characteristics is feasible, provided that an optimization of the unmixing model as a function of local or regional surface component types is completed.

Six communities in rural, urban and industrial areas were chosen for the studies. The Environmental Protection Administration monitored air quality on the campus of each primary school selected. Parents were asked to complete a children's respiratory health questionnaire, which included information about indoor air pollution in the children's homes. Results showed a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms in urban areas than in rural areas, however, nasal symptoms were more prevalent in children living in petrochemical communities. The study suggests ambient air pollution may be the cause, but further studies are needed to confirm the conclusions.

The health risks to children associated with pollution was the topic of a recent conference (May, 1996), in Sosnowiec, Poland. Children are more susceptible to environmental pollutants than adults, but pediatric environmental health in Eastern and Central Europe has been limited. Problem areas and research training needs were identified. Among pollutants, heavy metals (in particular lead and cadmium), ambient air pollution, ionizing radiation, and persistent organics were identified as problem areas. Methods for developing registries for congenital malformations, monitoring of fetal growth and development, and strategies for the prevention of childhood exposures to environmental hazards were presented. Recommendations for future actions and collaborative efforts among the participating nations were discussed.

The children are alike in genetic background, diet, cultural patterns, and social behaviors. Children residing in the valley's agricultural areas, however, have been exposed to greater amounts of pesticides than those living in the foothills. In 1990, high levels of pesticides were reported in mothers' breast milk, and the cord blood of newborns. A Rapid Assessment Tool for Preschool Children was developed by the researchers to measure child growth and development. Both groups of children exhibited similar growth patterns.

Inorganic arsenic is methylated to the more readily excreted metabolites methlarsonic acid and dimethylasinic acid. An examination of the metabolism of inorganic arsenic in children subject to elevated exposures of arsenic in drinking water was the purpose of this study. Three villages in northern Argentina were sampled. The concentration of arsenic in the drinking water samples collected at two of the villages was about 20 times higher than World Health Organization guidelines. Investigation results showed very high concentrations of inorganic arsenic in the urine of the children, indicating a generally low methylation rate. This may show that children are more sensitive to arsenic induced toxicity than adults, as the methylated metabolites bind less to tissue than inorganic arsenics.

Recent studies indicate broadcast spraying of chlorpyrifos indoors may pose a danger to public health. In a study by the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute at Rutgers University, residues were shown to accumulate on untreated indoor surfaces within 24 hours and up to 2 weeks after application of the pesticide. Concentrations on these surfaces were found to be from 21 to 119 times above the recommended reference dose of 3 mu g/kg/day, posing a hazard to children. A joint agreement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and registrants of chlorpyrifos-based products will eliminate a number of indoor uses of the pesticides, those which aerosolize the product, and those with which children may have contact, such as animal flea collars. The globalization of the product is a concern because many developing countries import and manufacture it, without adequate safety and regulatory information.

AN - 79902869; 9607318 AB - We previously isolated the human RPB11 cDNA, encoding the 13.3 kDa subunit of RNA polymerase II, and demonstrated that expression of this subunit is modulated by doxorubicin. Using hRPB11 as bait in a yeast two-hybrid system, two cDNA variants encoding a second RNA polymerase II subunit, hRPB3, have now been isolated and characterized. These two hRPB3 mRNA species differed in 3' UTR region length, the longer transcript containing the AU-rich sequence motif that mediates mRNA degradation. Both hRPB11 and hRPB3 transcripts share a similar pattern of distribution in human adult tissues, with particularly high levels in both heart and skeletal muscle, and the expression of both is down-regulated by doxorubicin as found previously for the hRPB11 subunit. Taken together, these findings suggest that the interaction between hRPB3 and hRPB11 is fundamental for their function and that this heterodimer is involved in doxorubicin toxicity.

Each tree was sampled by taking discs from a combination of percentage heights (0, 10, 20 ___ 70%) and fixed height samples (0.5 m, 0.7 m ___ 1.5 m). At each of the fixed heights, a single pilodyn reading was taken from each of 4 aspects. Weighted whole tree density was calculated from the percentage height samples and used for correlation and regression analysis with the fixed height samples. Both species showed an initial drop in density between the felling cut (zero height) and 0.5 m, followed by a linear increase in density between 10% and 70% of tree height. Slope of fitted regressions were parallel within species but differed significantly between the species (1.14 kg/m super(3) and 1.62 kg/m super(3) per 1% increase in height above 10% for E. globulus and E. nitens, respectively). Density at all fixed heights was highly correlated with whole tree values for E. globulus, but results were variable across sites for E. nitens. Both species were found to contain trees which produced aberrant pilodyn readings. For E. globulus, the optimal sampling height was 1.3 m above ground and the mean pilodyn reading was found to predict whole tree density with an accuracy of c21 kg/m super(3). For E. nitens, optimal sampling height was 1.5 m above ground. However, pilodyn readings around the stem were not very repeatable and correlations with whole tree density were lower, resulting in the accuracy of prediction of whole tree density being c26 kg/m super(3).

AN - 73859764; 9709413 AB - The aim of this study was to assess whether contractile response of arteries to aqueous component of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) may be modulated in atherosclerotic arteries. Thoracic aortas were isolated from control rabbits and from 1.5% cholesterol-fed rabbits, all of which had visible advanced atheromatous surface changes on the aortas. CSE was prepared by bubbling main stream of smoke from one cigarette with filter into 2 ml of phosphate-buffered saline. The thoracic aortic rings were suspended in organ chambers and tested with CSE (0.01-3.0 microliters/ml buffer in the organ chamber) after precontraction with 0.1 mumol/l of phenylephrine (PE). The contractile response to CSE was significantly greater in atherosclerotic aortas than in control aortas (the maximal contraction expressed as % of the precontraction; control aortas 10.8 +/- 2.8%, atherosclerotic aortas 42.6 +/- 4.7%; P < 0.01). The magnitude of the precontractions by PE was not different between control and atherosclerotic aortas. Exogenous addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) significantly attenuated the CSE-induced contraction in both control and atherosclerotic aortas and pretreatment of aortic rings with diethyldithiocarbamate to deplete of endogenous vascular CuZn-SOD activity potentiated the CSE-induced contraction in control aortas, while it had no significant effect in atherosclerotic aortas. The vascular SOD activity was significantly lower in atherosclerotic aortas than in control aortas ((U/mg protein): control aortas 38.2 +/- 3.3, atherosclerotic aortas 18.5 +/- 2.4; P < 0.01). These results indicate that atherosclerotic arteries may be supersensitive to the constrictor effect of superoxide anion derived from CSE. The decrease in endogenous vascular SOD activity may partly contribute to the increased susceptibility to oxidative stress in atherosclerotic arteries.

With an Essay on Undergraduates Who Work. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62545372; ED419461 AB - This report uses data from the 1995-96 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study to profile undergraduates who were enrolled in U.S. postsecondary institutions in the academic year 1995-96. The report begins with an essay that explores the extent to which undergraduates work while they are in school. This essay found that 79 percent of undergraduates reported working while in school; half worked to help pay for their education and 29 percent considered themselves primarily employees who were also taking classes. Working students were employed an average of 25 hours per week, with 20 percent of full-time students also working full-time. Working students noted that working limited their class schedules, and about 25 percent reported that work adversely affected their academic performance. A negative effect was also found between work and one-year persistence. Students who worked fewer hours were more likely than those who worked more hours to borrow to pay for their educations. The report's data tables are grouped into those on the essay's topic; supplemental data about work; enrollment and attendance; degree program, field of study, and grade point average; student characteristics; financial aid; and educational aspirations and community service.

Chapter 1 reviews the basic concepts underlying the selection of elements and that guide their use, including descriptions of the basic categories of data. Chapter 2 lists the faculty and staff data items recommended for an institutional database. Chapter 3 contains the data element dictionary--the definitions and detailed codes necessary for creating a standardized database. Chapter 4 offers examples, in two major categories, of some common uses of these data: to support strategic planning and management (employee characteristics/amount of human asset available/price and cost considerations/allocation of available asset/productivity/student experience/asset renewal) and for data exchange; and for reporting to external agencies (employee demographics/salaries/assets available for allocation to various institutional functions). Chapter 5 contains a glossary of related terms. Appended are detailed definitions of human asset categories and subcategories; a cross-reference of standard occupational categories to human asset categories; information on how to compile data, an illustration of basic calculations, and country and language codes.

AN - 62540793; ED419463 AB - This study examined whether or not student, parent, and peer engagement factors that contribute to at-risk students' success in graduating from high school continue to be important in making the transition from high school to postsecondary education. The data set used was the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, which included 1994 data obtained two years after students' scheduled high school graduation. At-risk students exhibited two or more of six risk factors, including "family in the lowest socioeconomic quartile" or "held back a grade". Analysis used alternative statistical methodology, specifically regression analysis and the "odds ratios" produced by this procedure. Key findings indicated that: (1) students whose parents frequently discussed school-related matters and/or had high educational expectations were much more likely than other students to enroll in postsecondary education; (2) students who reported that most or all of their high school friends planned to attend college were far more likely to attend themselves; (3) participating in college preparation activities such as gathering information about financial aid increased the odds of enrolling in postsecondary education; and (4) moderate- to high-risk students participating in college outreach programs were more likely to attend college.

This report presents findings of the principal survey, which had 1,216 respondents. Fully 78 percent of principals reported their schools used content standards to a moderate or great extent to guide curriculum and instruction in all four core subjects. About 10 percent indicated their schools were implementing all 10 comprehensive reform strategies. At least 40 percent of respondents needed more information on using innovative technologies, professional development linked to standards, and parental involvement activities. Barriers to achieving high standards included diverse student populations, high student mobility, inadequate parent involvement, and inadequate student assessments. Half the principals preferred to receive information on reforms through institutes or workshops. Principals of Title I-funded schools and those without such funding had similar familiarity with and implementation of comprehensive reforms. Included are survey highlights, a summary, and appendices containing methodologies, tables, and the survey form.

Australian nursing home & hostel admissions & separations data for 1991-1995 show that the utilization rate of approved respite beds is relatively low: 69% for hostels & 50% for nursing homes in 1994/95, in spite of government subsidies available for respite care. Many respite residents become permanent residents. Of hostel residents in 1992/93, 30% became permanent residents after their first respite admission, with 42% becoming permanent in 1993/94. The transfer from respite to permanency may be caused by changes in personal circumstances of respite residents & their carers after respite admission. But, it may also indicate an inappropriate use of respite beds. 5 Tables, 2 Figures, 7 References. Adapted from the source document.

These measures differ from more conventional diversity indices by incorporating the taxonomic relatedness of species into their calculation. In this paper we compare temporal trends in Delta and Delta with more conventional diversity measures for the demersal fish community of the northern North Sea. We show that, contrary to the findings for benthic invertebrates, indices that incorporate taxonomic distinctness show identical time trends to conventional measures. This, perhaps, suggests that when perturbations are sufficiently large to affect conventional indices of diversity, taxonomic diversity indices may already have reached levels from which they march in step with conventional indices.

The monoclonal antibodies were produced following conventional and co-immunisation procedures and the range of antibody specificities was compared. The preparation used as immunogen for the conventional protocol was a crude isolate of haustoria consisting of approx. 65% fungal haustoria, the other components being mainly mesophyll cells or cell wall and chloroplast fragments. Following hybridoma production, 40% of positive cell lines produced antibodies that reacted with haustoria and other fungal cells, but 60% bound to plant cells in the infected leaves. For the co-immunisation protocol, the preparation used for immunisation consisted of the crude isolate of haustoria mixed with serum raised against an haustorium-depleted leaf homogenate. In two fusions, 92-94% of the antibodies reacted with fungal cells, including 3 cell lines that localised specifically to the cell wall of haustoria. Only 6-8% of the antibodies produced via co-immunisation reacted with plant cells. The antigens targeted by the three haustorium-specific monoclonal antibodies are incorporated into the wall at early stages of haustorium development, remain in the wall throughout haustorium maturation, and are present in both compatible and incompatible interactions. The epitopes recognised by the monoclonal antibodies are oligosaccharide in nature and the antigens are highly resistant to extraction from the wall. These results highlight the value of the co-immunisation protocol for the production of monoclonal antibodies to specific components in an impure preparation and provide direct evidence for molecular differentiation within the wall of the haustorium of M. lini.

These satellite algorithms used GMS VIS/IR, AVHRR, and SSM/I data to estimate rainfall on both instantaneous and monthly timescales. Validation data came from two calibrated shipboard Doppler radars measuring rainfall every 10 min. There was large variation among algorithms in the magnitude of the satellite-estimated rainfall, but the patterns of rainfall were similar among algorithm types. Compared to the radar observations, most of the satellite algorithms overestimated the amount of rain falling in the region, typically by about 30%. Patterns of monthly observed rainfall were well represented by the satellite algorithms, with correlation coefficients with the observations ranging from 0.86 to 0.90 for algorithms using geostationary data and 0.69 to 0.86 for AVHRR and SSM/I algorithms when validated on a 0.5 degree grid. Patterns of instantaneous rain rates were also well analyzed, with correlation coefficients with the radar observations of 0.43-0.58 for the geostationary algorithms and 0.60-0.78 for SSM/I algorithms. Two case studies are presented to demonstrate the capability of one IR algorithm and three microwave algorithms to estimate instantaneous rainfall rates in the Tropics. The three microwave algorithms differed in their estimates of rain area but all showed greater ability than the IR algorithm to reproduce the spatial pattern of rainfall.

Plants propagated within shade houses showed systemic necrotic flecks and veinal necrosis in leaves and sunken necrotic stem lesions similar to those, reported in Japan, caused by cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV). Necrosis progressed rapidly, resulting in death of plants transferred to or mechanically inoculated in a glasshouse (15 to 30 degree C) under full light. Disease progression in plants maintained in shade houses (5 to 20 degree C) was slower and symptoms less severe. Presence of CMV in symptomatic plants was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using antiserum from Agdia (Elkhart, IN), and by sap transmission tests to healthy wasabi and Chenopodium quinoa plants. Incidence of CMV among plants in the shade houses was estimated at 10%. A survey of a commercial planting of 400 to 500 plants in November 1997, using ELISA, showed an incidence of 2.6% CMV-infected plants. They were concentrated at the field margins, suggesting that the inoculum originated from external sources rather than from transplants. This pathogen could have significant impact on the longevity and production of this crop in Australia.

The sphere is a model of a stone half buried in the bed of a stream or coastal sea. The interaction results in pressure perturbations on the sediment surface, which in turn drive flows through the sediment. This interaction can significantly enhance solute exchange. Using an experimentally derived surface pressure field and a numerical transport model, the measured mass of effused solutes is accurately predicted, providing quantitative validity of the exchange mechanism. To assess the biochemical significance of this exchange process, the behavior of a relative solute was simulated. An example of a reactive solute of major significance to water quality in rivers is oxygen, which is consumed within sediments by oxidizing organic matter. Depending on the water flow velocity, specific solute consumption rate, and properties of the sediment, the total interstitial solute consumption caused by the presence of the stone can be significantly enhanced compared with the consumption if transport occurred only by molecular diffusion. It is suggested that the induced flow across the sediment surface can be an effective mechanism for filtering suspended particulate matter out of the water column.

Two broadly cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies (MCA1 and MCC2) against the outer core region of LPS were further characterized. A panel of synthetic glycoproteins and glycolipids was used to determine the binding specificity of the MAbs. MCA1 and MCC2 bound specifically to alpha -Gal-(1-4)- beta -Gal of galabiose and globotriose glycoconjugates. The reactivity of the MAbs with galabiose was higher than that with globotriose. The MAbs could recognize the alpha -Gal-(1-4)- beta -Gal epitope only when it was in a terminal position. MCA1 was further shown to react with a similar epitope in the glycosylated type IV pili of N. meningitidis, which has been shown to contain a 1-4 linked digalactose at the terminal part of the saccharide present in the pili. MCA1 could efficiently recognize this epitope indicating that it was exposed on the surface of the pili.

Their continued use as wastewater evaporation sites requires an understanding of existing groundwater dynamics. The useful lifetimes of individual basins, their sustainability and possible environmental impacts remain largely unknown. In this work, the movement of salt to the underlying groundwater system from Lake Tutchewop, a saline disposal complex in north-central Victoria, was modelled in cross-section. Due to the salinity contrast between the hypersaline basin waters and the regional groundwater, it was necessary to simulate density-dependent flow behaviour. Under certain conditions, these density-stratified systems may become unstable leading to the onset of convective behaviour, which greatly increases the movement of salt from the basin to the groundwater system. Modelled concentration profiles in the aquifer system and calculated seepage rates from the basin show that Lake Tutchewop is stable under its present operating regime. The downward movement of salt is mainly controlled by diffusion and dispersion. The calibrated model was used to assess the impact of several management scenarios using time-dependent boundary conditions for lake salinity and water levels. The influence of heterogeneous basin linings on ensuing salt flux rates is examined, and results show that increased solute transport will occur under such conditions. A sensitivity analysis performed on governing variables showed that salt fluxes were most sensitive to lake salinity levels. A solute Rayleigh number defined in terms of basin salinity and hydrogeologic parameters is seen to be an effective tool for predicting the long term behaviour of such saline disposal basins. The models and concepts developed in this work may find application in the design and management of saline disposal complexes.

Escherichia coli was unable to grow in broth in which the undissociated lactic acid concentration exceeded 11 mM or, with two exceptions, at a pH of 3.9 or less with no lactic acid present. Under experimental conditions at which the pH and the undissociated acid concentrations were the major growth-limiting factors, the growth/no growth interface was essentially independent of temperature at temperatures ranging from 15 to 37 degree C. The interface between conditions that allowed growth and conditions at which growth did not occur was abrupt. The inhibitory effect of combinations of water activity and pH varied with temperature. Predictions of the model for the growth/no growth interface were consistent with 95% of the experimental data set.

In their first spring season, juvenile lizards maintain home ranges largely within the home range of their mother. Juvenile home ranges are significantly smaller than those of adult males and females, and juveniles move significantly less often and significantly shorter distances than adults. While siblings were never found together in the spring, they showed a significant tendency to be closer to each other than if they were randomly located in their home ranges. Juveniles and mothers were never found together, nor was there any evidence for any positive (or negative) spatial association. Nevertheless, the extended tolerance of home range overlap represents a greater degree of mother-offspring association than has been previously reported for other lizards. Despite this, the level of parental care can only be described as minimal.

The carnivore guild divided into two groups based on body size and prey size, within which diet overlapped: Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus laniarius) and male spotted-tailed quolls (Dasyurus maculatus), which consumed larger prey species, and female spotted-tailed quolls and eastern quolls (D. viverrinus), which consumed smaller prey species. Male spotted-tailed quolls overlapped in diet with adult devils in winter, but not in summer. However, in summer the small number of male spotted-tailed quolls overlapped in both body weight and diet with a large cohort of young devils. Too few data were obtained to repeat these analyses with female and young spotted-tailed quolls and eastern quolls, but results indicated that a similar pattern of overlap may occur. Spotted-tailed quolls would experience the highest degree of dietary overlap with another species of carnivore, with all age and sex classes experiencing overlap for much of the year. Adult devils and young eastern quolls would both be free of overlap for more than half the year. No indications of seasonal food limitation, when competition is most likely to occur, were found during this study, but this may occur over a longer time scale. If the high degree of diet overlap experienced by spotted-tailed quolls means higher competitive pressure, this may explain the low density of this species at Cradle Mountain. These results, high levels of interference experienced by spotted-tailed quolls, and the behavioural and numerical dominance of devils, the largest species in the guild, support Brown & Maurer's (1986) and Cotgreave's (1993) ideas that competitive dominance may be more important than energetic equivalence in determining relationships between body size and abundance in local assemblages of animals.

(Lep., Hyblaeidae) in teak plantations of Bangladesh AN - 16438144; 4333106 AB - In Bangladesh one to two population peaks of teak defoliator, Hyblaea puera Cram. occurred between late April and July, followed in some years by another flatter peak in August and September. The temporal and spatial distribution of infestation suggested a short-range migration of moth. When general flushing of teak occurs in March-April the population starts building up generation by generation. During early build up phase the infestations are distributed in discrete patches. When a critical density is reached in a patch the newly emerged moths migrate to a newly flushed teak areas. After one to three peaks the population declines due to leaf maturity, natural enemies or density dependant food depletion. Until next flushing season the population remains small, non-migratory but active. This residual population survives on a small but continuous supply of tender leaves prevalent due to phenological variation of teak, and on alternative sources of food. This cycle of ups and downs is repeated every year.

AN - 16436856; 4340437 AB - This article considers the implementation of the Canadian federal provision for strategic environmental assessment, the 1990 Directive for Policy and Program Proposals, with regard to legislative proposals. A recent implementation review found that these proposals are the most commonly assessed under the Directive. The research looks at the sustainable development and accountability frameworks that set the context for assessment, and the processes for the passage of principal and subordinate legislation that both guide and inhibit their assessment. The application of effectiveness criteria to the Directive and its context enable conclusions to be reached regarding its success to date. Recommendations to enhance the process are made that stress the need for renewed commitment, improved guidance, better coordination and integration, and general management of the process.

This prediction was tested by assessing the oviposition preference of Chrysophtharta bimaculata (Olivier) on excised branches of Eucalyptus regnans F. Mueller and E. nitens (Deane & Maiden) Maiden. In cage trials, and as observed in the wild, beetles oviposited preferentially on E. regnans when the branches of both eucalypt species displayed the full range of foliar developmental classes, from immature to fully expanded. However, when the branches were pruned so that both species displayed only immature and expanding leaves, no difference in oviposition between the species occurred. Further, when the branches were pruned so that E. regnans displayed only fully expanded leaves and E. nitens displayed only immature and expanding leaves, females oviposited entirely on the latter species. These results support and extend the hypothesis that C. bimaculata's ovipositional preference is dictated more by leaf age class than by the tree species from which the leaves derive. In the discussion it is proposed that a eucalypt that initiates and expands leaves rapidly will be less preferred for oviposition than one that develops and expands leaves slowly, because of the smaller area of its canopy with less sclerophyllous foliage.

These estimates varied widely within and between colonies ( approximately 0.3-200 million for C. lacteus and 0.2-3 million for N. exitiosus). The variation in the estimates is explained in part by violation of the assumptions of the protocols. The fat-stain markers, although persistent in the laboratory, faded rapidly in the field, and were transferable from marked individuals to unmarked individuals by cannibalism. Marked individuals did not mix randomly or evenly with unmarked foraging individuals in space or time, as marked individuals were recaptured in widely varying numbers at different feeding sites sampled simultaneously. Importantly, foragers displayed feeding site fidelity and avoided disturbed feeding sites. The likelihood of recapture differed between castes and instars; there was a higher recapture rate of large workers and soldiers relative to smaller workers. The mark-recapture protocols provided inaccurate and unreliable forager population estimates, up to two orders of magnitude larger than direct counts of entire mound colonies. Thus the weighted mean estimates from more complex triple-mark-recapture protocols were not necessarily better than Lincoln index estimates from simpler single-mark-recapture protocols. Mark-recapture studies may provide useful information about forager behaviour and foraging territories.

Daphnids exposed to 0 mg/l DTPA/3.9 mg/l Fe died within three days, while those exposed to 50 mg/l DTPA/0.5 mg/l Fe died after 6-9 days. The former was attributed to Fe toxicity, and the latter to DTPA toxicity. Daphnids exposed to 10 mg/l DTPA/3.9 mg/l Fe produced 56.3 plus or minus 8.0 offspring per adult, which was similar to control daphnids (0 mg/l DTPA/0.5 mg/l Fe) at 63.5 plus or minus 5.6 offspring per adult, but significantly greater than daphnids exposed to 10 mg/l DTPA at both 0.5 and 1.5 mg/l Fe. Chemical equilibrium modelling indicated that the decrease in DTPA toxicity at high Fe concentrations was potentially due to an increase in the amount of available Fe, not to the total binding-out of DTPA with Fe, as was initially suspected. When exposed to Ca concentrations of <5 mg/l, growth rate of D. carinata was severely reduced, and reproductive maturity delayed. However, when also exposed to 1 mg/l DTPA, there was a further reduction in growth rate and associated parameters, while at 10 mg/l DTPA/<5 mg/l Ca, all daphnids died.

Snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina serpentina, were collected from five different sites in southern Ontario, Canada, which differed in terms of organochlorine contamination, and hormone levels and morphology were determined and compared. Results showed that the adult snapping turtles were more feminized at contaminated sites compared to those obtained from uncontaminated sites. Not only were the precloacal length and posterior lobe of the plastron smaller at the contaminated sites, but also the degree of sexual dimorphism was less pronounced. Testosterone and estrogen levels in blood plasma, however, appeared not to be affected by the organochlorine contamination.

The overall incidence rate of ALRI in the study population was 3.9 episodes per 100 child weeks at risk. Pneumonia was the most common ailment in both fuel groups and slums. Overall, a higher ALRI incidence was observed in kerosene users in the more polluted slum, but the reasons for the difference were not clear.

The contaminated area was subsequently divided into three zones with progressively lower but distinct TCDD contamination. Results are presented from a study, conducted 20 yr later, in which plasma levels of TCDD were determined. Subjects were studied from the two most-contaminated zones and from a noncontaminated area. The mean TCDD levels were determined to be 53.2, 11.0, and 4.9 ppt in the most contaminated, less contaminated, and noncontaminated zones, respectively. In all zones, females exhibited higher TCDD concentrations than males, with the exception of subjects older than 60 yr.

Information about fish-consumption habits and demographics was obtained via a telephone survey. For each subject, the body mass index was calculated. The group averaged 49 Great Lakes sport-fish meals/yr for a mean of 33 yr. Results showed that Great Lakes sport-fish consumption contributed to the body burden of select contaminants among the high consumers. Mean and median tissue residue concentrations of chlorinated pesticides, PCBs, dioxin and furan toxic equivalents, and several specific PCDD and PCDF congeners were higher than background levels among the Great Lakes sport-fish consumers. Lake Erie sport-fish consumers, however, had consistently lower contaminant concentrations than those from the other two Great Lakes.

Because of the high fluoride contents in both coal and the surrounding soil layer in some rural areas, high concentrations of fluoride have been detected in indoor air of coal-burning families. The prevalence of dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis was compared for a fluorosis and a nonfluorosis area in China. Urinary fluoride in residents was determined, and urinary deoxypyridinoline, calcium, and phosphate were analyzed. Results showed that, in the fluorosis area, elementary and junior-high-school students exhibited dental fluorosis, and osteosclerosis in the skeletal fluorosis patients was very serious. Concentrations of urinary fluoride in residents from the fluorosis area were significantly higher than those from the nonfluorosis area, which were attributed to the significant absorption of fluoride from indoor air to stored foods.

Some of the animals were given N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in their drinking water starting 48 h before MeHg administration to assess its use as a chelating agent for MeHg poisoning. Results showed that NAC was superior to previously tested complexing agents, producing a dramatic acceleration of MeHg elimination, with most of the Hg excreted in urine. Nearly 90% of the MeHg dose was eliminated in only 2 d when mice were exposed continuously to NAC in drinking water and when NAC was administered 2 d after MeHg exposure. Mercury mobilization from the brain was observed in NAC-administered animals, but at a slower rate than from other organs.

This harbor sediment contamination is generally in the form of chemicals that sorb to fine-grained particles, but organic materials and metals are also problematic. The mix of contaminants creates problems of unusual complexity for both analysis and management. The legal framework underlying the management of these sediments is outlined, and the available technologies and controls are elucidated and discussed. These include dredging followed by water or land disposal, along with innovative technologies that will be an expensive addition to the baseline costs of dredging and relocating sediment.

These are genes that code for enzymes involved in the synthesis or metabolism of dopamine, dopamine receptors, and the dopamine transporter. Several candidate genes are described that may influence smoking, which have been identified from twin studies. The relationship between the dopaminergic reward system and addictive behavior is discussed, along with the effects of cigarette smoking and nicotine on the dopaminergic reward system. Candidate genes are identified that contribute to the synthesis of dopamine in dopaminergic neurons, the release of dopamine by presynaptic neurons, receptor activation of postsynaptic neurons, dopamine re-uptake, and the metabolism of released dopamine.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. House of Representatives. One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62438552; ED424327 AB - The relationships between improvements to facilities and accurate enrollment counts and an academic plan for the District of Columbia public schools were explored in a hearing that was part of a series on the D.C. public schools. Representative Thomas Davis (Virginia) spoke of the progress being made in improving the D.C. schools and the great deal that remained to be done. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (District of Columbia) also praised the efforts of the appointed interim administrators and noted the tasks ahead for the school system. The first panel began with remarks by Patricia Harvey, director of urban education for the National Center on Education and the Economy, who spoke of the importance of prevention, early intervention, acceleration, and accountability. Marlene Berlin, chair of a parents' coalition, talked about parent participation and community involvement. Delabian Rice-Thurston, director of Parents United, focused on standards and funding. A general discussion followed, with emphasis on the importance of parent participation. The second panel of the day began with remarks by Kathleen Patterson, member of the D.C. City Council, who talked about the importance of small classes and small schools in long-range planning. The second panel member was Joyce Ladner, member of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority (Control Board), who discussed the recent appointment of Arlene Ackerman as Superintendent of Schools. Bruce MacLaury, Chairman of the D.C. Public Schools Emergency Board of Trustees, reviewed some of the needs of the school system as Ms. Ackerman assumes her position. Remarks by Julius W. Becton, retiring appointed Chief Executive Officer and Superintendent of the school system, and Arlene Ackerman, recently appointed Superintendent, rounded out the discussions. Prepared statements of the witnesses are included in the hearing report.

All four species of thrips vary remarkably in body form, in association with wing and behavioural polymorphisms. In particular, the previously unknown macropterae of Phallothrips houstoni are strikingly different in body form from the apterae of this species. The weakly armed macropterae invade Iotatubothrips galls, isolate themselves individually within a small, self-built enclosure, and produce a brood of highly armed apterae that then leaves the enclosure and usurps the gall. In contrast, macropterae of Thaumatothrips froggatti are well armed and heavily sclerotised, and apparently do not isolate themselves within a gall subsequent to invading it. One of the two species of Iotatubothrips is here newly described as Iotatubothrips kranzae. It is remarkable because the male genitalia are about 55% longer in macropterae than micropterae, and are longer than in any other thysanopteran. This is the first recorded instance of genitalic dimorphism within a Thysanoptera species. This species is from Western Australia on Casuarina obesa, whereas the previously known species, Iotatubothrips crozieri, is from eastern Australia on Casuarina cristata and Casuarina pauper. In contrast, no significant morphological differences were detected between the eastern and western populations of the Phallothrips and Thaumatothrips species on these tree species. All four thrips species exhibit unusually high intrapopulation variation within all morphs, and this may be related to fluctuations in within-gall density and, for the kleptoparasites, deterioration of feeding conditions in older galls.

AN - 62535090; ED420664 AB - The Ninth Federal Forecasters Conference provided a forum in which forecasters from different federal agencies and other organizations could meet to discuss various aspects of forecasting in the United States. The theme was "Forecasting in an Era of Diminishing Resources." The conference was attended by 150 forecasters. A keynote address by Katharine G. Abraham, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, and a panel discussion set the stage for 2 concurrent sessions in the afternoon at which 26 papers were presented. These papers, or in a few cases an abstract, are included in this volume grouped into topics of: (1) "The Economic Outlook"; (2) "Industry Modeling at the Bureau of Labor Statistics"; (3) "Global Forecasting and Foresight"; (4) "Community Policy Models"; (5) "Topics in Forecasting"; (6) "Forecasting Crop Prices under New Farm Legislation"; (7) "Forecast Evaluation"; (8) "Early Warning and the Need for Information Sharing"; and (9) "Forecasting Program Expenditures." Of particular interest to the educational research community were two papers. The first, "The Educational Requirements of Jobs: A New Way of Looking at Training Needs" by Darrel Patrick Wash of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is presented as an abstract. The second, "Projections of Elementary and Secondary Public Education Expenditures by State" by William J. Hussar of the National Center for Education Statistics, is a discussion of estimation and data pooling techniques and projection models. (Contains 83 tables and 37 figures.)

Since the 1950s, large numbers of Wosera Abelam have settled in West New Britain (WNB) towns & government-sponsored resettlement schemes. These long-term migrants provide a base in WNB for temporary migrants from the Wosera seeking work or a break from village life. Here, the linkages between temporary & long-term migrants in WNB, & between migrants & their relatives remaining in the village, are explored via case studies, based on data from interviews & fieldwork conducted 1988/89 & 1995/96. It is argued that migration is now a way of life for the Wosera Abelam, & is, to a large extent, underpinned by indigenous (precapitalist) social & economic relations. 1 Figure, 66 References.

AN - 21261720; 11702158 AB - There is growing public pressure to minimize the use of vertebrates in ecotoxicity testing; therefore, effective alternatives to toxicity tests causing suffering are being sought. This report discusses alternatives and differs in some respects from the reports of the other three groups because the primary concern is with harmful effects of chemicals at the level of population and above rather than with harmful effects upon individuals. It is concluded that progress toward the objective of minimizing testing that causes suffering would be served by the following initiatives--a clearer definition of goals and strategies when undertaking testing procedures; development of alternative assays, including in vitro test systems, that are based on new technology; development of nondestructive assays for vertebrates (e.g., biomarkers) that do not cause suffering; selection of most appropriate species, strains, and developmental stages for testing procedures (but no additional species for basic testing); better integrated and more flexible testing procedures incorporating biomarker responses, ecophysiological concepts, and ecological end points (progress in this direction depends upon expert judgment). In general, testing procedures could be made more realistic, taking into account problems with mixtures, and with volatile or insoluble chemicals.

AN - 21260745; 11702160 AB - Agent Orange was the most common herbicide used in the Second Indochina War in the course of military operations in the former South Vietnam. Agent Orange is contaminated by the carcinogen 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD) in mean concentrations of 2 mg/kg. After much dispute of a causal association between exposure to herbicides containing TCDD and occurrence of soft-tissue sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, two simultaneous case-control studies were set up in Vietnam to examine possible relationships. Subject recruitment is ongoing, with target numbers of 150 cases of soft-tissue sarcoma and 150 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and diagnoses at the Cancer Center at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Two hospital controls are matched to each case. As in other studies of cancer in persons occupationally or otherwise exposed to herbicides and their contaminants, evaluation of past exposure of the recruited subjects is among the most complicated issues. Because accurate records are usually unavailable, surrogate measures of likely exposure are often calculated. As a first approach in our studies we used the Stellman and Stellman exposure index. The index is based on matching subjects' history of residence and the information on times and locations of Agent Orange spraying recorded on HERBS tape by the U.S. Army and taking into account the distance from the spraying as well as environmental and biologic half-life of TCDD. The exposure index is calculated in two centers, New York and Hanoi, with slightly different assumptions. In addition, samples of body tissues from the subjects (20 ml blood, 2 g adipose tissue, and tumor sections in paraffin blocks) are taken and stored. Their future analysis will provide additional source of exposure assessment. Strengths and weaknesses of both exposure measures are discussed in this paper.

It also discusses the trend toward the use of alternative methods to mammalian models, such as feral species, in vitro assays, and computational models. The strategy of using a tier approach to screen chemicals for immunotoxicity is described, together with the rationale for, and limitations of, this approach. Interpretation of data with regard to clinical disease and human health is addressed. The immune system poses substantial complexities in this regard as the system has functional reserve and functional redundancy.

AN - 21259544; 11703732 AB - Before nonanimal toxicity tests may be officially accepted by regulatory agencies, it is generally agreed that the validity of the new methods must be demonstrated in an independent, scientifically sound validation program. Validation has been defined as the demonstration of the reliability and relevance of a test method for a particular purpose. This paper provides a brief review of the development of the theoretical aspects of the validation process and updates current thinking about objectively testing the performance of an alternative method in a validation study. Validation of alternative methods for eye irritation testing is a specific example illustrating important concepts. Although discussion focuses on the validation of alternative methods intended to replace current in vivo toxicity tests, the procedures can be used to assess the performance of alternative methods intended for other uses.

AN - 21253929; 11702150 AB - In vitro liver preparations are increasingly used for the study of hepatotoxicity of chemicals. In recent years their actual advantages and limitations have been better defined. The cell models, slices, and mainly primary hepatocyte cultures, appear to be the most powerful in vitro systems, as liver-specific functions and responsiveness to inducers are retained either for a few days or several weeks depending on culture conditions. Maintenance of phase I and phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme activities allows various chemical investigations to be performed, including determination of kinetic parameters, metabolic profile, interspecies comparison, inhibition and induction effects, and drug-drug interactions. In vitro liver cell models also have various applications in toxicology: screening of cytotoxic and genotoxic compounds, evaluation of chemoprotective agents, and determination of characteristic liver lesions and associated biochemical mechanisms induced by toxic compounds. Extrapolation of the results to the in vivo situation remains a matter of debate. Presently, the most convincing applications of liver cell models are the studies on different aspects of metabolism and mechanisms of toxicity. For the future, there is a need for better culture conditions and differentiated hepatocyte cell lines to overcome the limited availability of human liver tissues. In addition, strategies for in vitro analysis of potentially toxic chemicals must be better defined.

AN - 21252770; 11702157 AB - Scientific principles demand that before newly developed alternative methods for safety testing are fully embraced by the industrial or regulatory community, they reliably and reproducibly predict the designated toxic end point. The process used to determine reliability and reproducibility is termed validation, and it generally culminates with a highly controlled, blinded study using multiple chemicals and laboratories. It is imperative that the validation study is designed to confirm the previously established reproducibility and predictive power of the assay. Much has been learned recently about the practical aspects of validation through investigation of alternative methods for acute toxicity testing, i.e., those methods that assess acute systemic toxicity, skin irritation, and eye irritation. Although considerable progress has been made--many alternative tests are now commonly used in various industrial settings--there have been few tests that have successfully passed a complete validation. Some of the barriers to successful validation have been a) lack of high-quality, reproducible animal data; b) insufficient knowledge of the fundamental biologic processes involved in acute toxicity; and c) the development of truly robust in vitro assays that can accurately respond to materials with a wide range of chemical and physical characteristics. It is recommended that to progress in the areas of eye and skin irritation we need to expand our knowledge of toxic markers in humans and the biochemical basis of irritation; progress in the area of acute systemic toxicity will require the development of in vitro models to determine gastrointestinal uptake, blood-brain barrier passage, and biotransformation.

AN - 21252759; 11702153 AB - A mechanism can be defined as an explanation of an observed phenomenon that explains the processes underlying the phenomenon in terms of events at lower levels of organization. A prerequisite for new, more mechanistic, approaches, which would use in vitro systems rather than conventional animal analogy models, is a strengthening of the underlying scientific basis of toxicity testing. This will require greater recognition of the differences between fidelity and discrimination models and between analogy and correlation models. The development of high-fidelity, high-discrimination tests with a sound mechanistic basis will also require greater appreciation of the interdependence of all the components of test systems and the development of new alternative (i.e., nonanimal) testing strategies that can provide the specific knowledge needed for making relevant and reliable predictions about the potential effects of chemicals and products in human beings. The optimal use of this new knowledge will require fundamental changes to current practices in risk assessment.

AN - 21252055; 11702159 AB - One hundred ninety-two workers in a German pesticide factory who were exposed to polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and -furans (PCDD/PCDF) were investigated for former and present diseases and laboratory changes of the immune system. Moreover, in a subgroup of 29 highly exposed and 28 control persons, proliferation studies were performed. In addition to assays such as blood count, immunoglobulins, serum electrophoresis, monoclonal bands, surface markers, autoantibodies, and lymphocyte proliferation, two new methods, the rise of tetanus antibody concentration after vaccination and the in vitro resistance of lymphocytes to chromate, were used to diagnose the morphologic and functional state of the immune system. There was no stringent correlation of actual PCDD/PCDF concentrations with the occurrence of infections or with one of the immune parameters. In addition, outcomes of the tetanus vaccination and the chromate resistance test were not correlated with PCDD/PCDF. However, the chromate resistance of lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutinin of highly exposed persons was significantly lower than that for the control group. These findings indicate that the function of lymphocytes can be stressed and possibly impaired by high exposure to PCDD/PCDF.

AN - 21251011; 11703731 AB - We consider a cohort of 1189 male German factory workers (production period 1952-1984) who produced phenoxy herbicides and were exposed to dioxins. Follow-up until the end of 1992 yielded a significantly increased standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for total cancer (SMR 141; 95% confidence interval 117-168). 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) concentrations up to 2252 ng/kg body fat were measured in 275 cohort members. Other higher chlorinated dioxins and furans also occurred in high concentrations. For quantitative analysis, the integrated TCDD concentration over time was used as an exposure variable, which was calculated using results from half-life estimation for TCDD and workplace history data. The other congeners were expressed as toxic equivalency (TEQ) and compared to TCDD using international toxic equivalency factors. Poisson and Cox regressions were used to investigate dose-response relationships. Various covariables (e.g., exposure to beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, employment characteristics) were considered. In all analyses, TCDD and TEQ exposures were related to total cancer mortality. The power model yielded a relative risk (RR) function RR(x) = (1 + 0.17x)0.326 for TCDD (in microgram/kilogram blood fat x years)--only a slightly better fit than a linear RR function--and RR(x) = (1 + 0.023x)0.795 for TEQ. Investigations on latency did not show strong effects. Different methods were applied to investigate the robustness of the results and yielded almost identical results. The results were used for unit risk estimation. Taking into account different sources of variation, an interval of 10(-3) to 10(-2) for the additional lifetime cancer risk under a daily intake of 1 pg TCDD/kg body weight/day was estimated from the dose-response models considered. Uncertainties regarding the dose-response function remain. These data did not indicate the existence of a threshold value; however, such a value cannot be excluded with any certainty.

AN - 21250969; 11704960 AB - A cross-sectional study was performed to examine the internal exposure of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) in former workers in a nonferrous metal recycling facility. Liver enzymes, lipid parameters, and thyroid hormones were measured to check possible biologic effects. Compared to background levels, the international toxicity equivalent levels of exposed workers were slightly elevated (median 42 ppt, range 13-281 ppt). The workers also had higher total PCDF concentrations (median 128 ppt, range 30-1138 ppt). Correlation analyses demonstrate significant associations with only one liver enzyme, alanine aminotransferase. There were no such associations with serum cholesterol levels or with serum thyroid hormones. Because of the cross-sectional design of the study, firm conclusions cannot be drawn. For further evaluation, a follow-up examination appears necessary.

Extensive monitoring of soil levels and measurements of a limited number of human blood samples allowed classification of the exposed population into three categories, A (highest exposure), B (median exposure), and R (lowest exposure). Early health investigations including liver function, immune function, neurologic impairment, and reproductive effects yielded inconclusive results. Chloracne (nearly 200 cases with a definite exposure dependence) was the only effect established with certainty. Long-term studies were conducted using the large population living in the surrounding noncontaminated territory as reference. An excess mortality from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases was uncovered, possibly related to the psychosocial consequences of the accident in addition to the chemical contamination. An excess of diabetes cases was also found. Results of cancer incidence and mortality follow-up showed an increased occurrence of cancer of the gastrointestinal sites and of the lymphatic and hematopoietic tissue. Experimental and epidemiologic data as well as mechanistic knowledge support the hypothesis that the observed cancer excesses are associated with dioxin exposure. Results cannot be viewed as conclusive. The study is continuing in an attempt to overcome the existing limitations (few individual exposure data, short latency period, and small population size for certain cancer types) and to explore new research paths (e.g., differences in individual susceptibility).

III. In vitro toxicity of isothiocyanates to soil-borne fungal pathogens AN - 17583978; 4394168 AB - Isothiocyanates (ITCs) released from Brassica crops or seed meal amendments incorporated into soil have the potential to suppress pest and disease organisms in soil. We investigated in vitro toxicity of six ITCs to the mycelial growth of five cereal root pathogens (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Pythium irregulare) by either adding them to the headspace above, or dissolving them in the growing media. Four alkenyl aliphatic ITCs (methyl-ITC, propenyl-ITC, butenyl-ITC, pentenyl-ITC) and two aromatic ITCs (benzyl-ITC and 2-phenylethyl-ITC) were tested. Aromatic ITCs were less toxic in the headspace experiments due to their lower volatility which reduced the headspace concentration, but were more toxic than the aliphatic ITCs when dissolved in the agar. In both experimental methods, the toxicity of the aliphatic ITCs decreased with increasing length of the side chain although there was little difference between methyl-ITC and propenyl-ITC in the headspace experiment. The fungi differed in sensitivity to the ITCs. Gaeumannomyces was the most sensitive, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium intermediate and Bipolaris and Pythium the least sensitive. Pythium was 2-16 times more resistant than the other fungi to the ITCs dissolved in agar and, in contrast to the other fungi, was more sensitive to the aliphatic ITCs than the aromatic ITCs. Suppression of some fungi by propenyl ITC and 2-phenylethyl ITC, principal products of glucosinolate hydrolysis in Brassica tissue, was superior to that of the synthetic fumigant methyl-ITC, suggesting an important role for these compounds in the pest suppression potential of brassicas. The variation in toxicity of different ITCs to the fungi (up to 7 fold) suggests there is significant scope to enhance the biofumigation potential of brassicas by selecting those which produce large quantities of GSL precursors to the most toxic ITCs for the target organism.

I. Variation in glucosinolate profiles of diverse field-grown brassicas AN - 17582613; 4394166 AB - Biofumigation refers to the suppression of soil-borne pests and pathogens by biocidal compounds released in soil when glucosinolates (GSL) in Brassica green manure or rotation crops are hydrolysed. We investigated the potential to enhance biofumigation by considering the variation in GSL production in the roots and shoots of 76 entries from 13 Brassica and related weed species grown in the field. Total plant GSL production on a ground area basis at mid-flowering ranged from 0.8 to 45.3 mmol m super(-2). The variation derived equally from differences in biomass and GSL concentration, which were not correlated in either root or shoot tissues. Roots (0-0.15 m) contributed an average of 23.6% (range 2-81%) of the total plant GSLs, their contribution limited by low biomass rather than GSL concentration, which was usually similar or higher than that of shoots. The GSL concentrations in root and shoot tissues did not correlate significantly with seed levels in any of the species, so selection for higher plant GSL production to enhance biofumigation potential cannot be based on seed GSL levels. The types of GSLs present in the tissues varied considerably between species but were consistent within species. In contrast, the concentration of individual and total GSLs in both root and shoot tissues varied four to ten-fold both between and within all species. Shoots contained predominately aliphatic GSLs, while aromatic GSLs, particularly 2-phenylethyl GSL, were dominant in the roots of all entries. Indolyl GSLs were present in all tissues but at low concentrations (<1 mu mol g super(-1)). The variation in the biomass, GSL profiles and concentrations in both roots and shoots provide significant scope to select or develop brassicas with enhanced biofumigation potential. Further studies on the efficacy of the various GSL hydrolysis products to suppress target organisms in soil are required to fully exploit biofumigation as a part of integrated pest management.

II. Effect of environment and ontogeny on glucosinolate production and implications for screening AN - 17582014; 4394167 AB - Biofumigation refers to the suppression of soil-borne pests and pathogens by biocidal compounds released by Brassicaceous green manure and rotation crops when glucosinolates (GSLs) in their tissues are hydrolysed. We investigated the effect of environment and ontogeny on the GSL production, and thus biofumigation potential, of eight entries from five Brassica species. The environments included autumn and spring sown field plots (FA and FS) and potted plants grown under ambient conditions (PAM) or in a temperature controlled glasshouse at 20 degree C/12 degree C (PTC). GSL concentration was measured in the root and shoot tissue at buds-raised, flowering and maturity. Of particular interest was the suitability of the pot-grown plants for screening large numbers of brassicas for GSL production. The type of GSLs present in the tissues and their relative proportions remained relatively constant across environments and at different growth stages, with the exception of an increase in indolyl GSLs in the FS environment suspected of being induced by insect attack. Total GSL concentration generally declined from buds-raised to flowering in all environments, and was lowest at maturity. The exceptions were B. campestris, which had higher GSL concentration at flowering than at buds-raised, and the PTC environment in which most species also showed an increase at flowering. Despite GSL types and their proportions remaining relatively constant, the total GSL concentration in the root and shoot tissue of all entries varied significantly with environment (3-10-fold) and was generally ranked FS>PAM>FA>PTC. Interactions between species and environments meant that the ranking of the Brassica entries for total shoot and root GSL concentration changed with environment. However within three entries from B. napus, the ranking was consistent across the environments. The added effect of environment on phenological development and biomass production further influenced GSL production (the product of GSL concentration and biomass) on a ground area basis. The results suggest that glasshouse environments can be used to determine the types and proportions of GSLs present, and to rank entries within, but not between species for the total concentration in the tissues. However the influence of the environment on both GSL concentration and biomass production suggests that an accurate estimate of GSL production on a ground area basis to assess biofumigation potential will require measurement in the target environment.

Only one known vector species, Thrips tabaci, was found at either site, comprising on average 36.8% of the total monthly catch. A major peak of thrips activity in the summer corresponded with an increase of disease in autumn harvested lettuce. Two thrips species new for Tasmania were recorded, Pseudanaphothrips achaetus and Tenothrips frici. Infection patterns within the crop indicated that localized weed infestations were the most likely reservoir of virus. ELISA testing showed that TSWV was present in a range of dicotyledonous weed species, although usually infecting only a low percentage of the plants. Arctotheca calendula appeared to be the single most important reservoir host species at one property, whilst this species and Sonchus oleraceus, Malva sylvestris, Brassica rapa ssp. silvestris, Erodium moschatum and Trifolium sp. were probably the most important reservoirs at the other property. Two new natural TSWV host species were recorded, Erodium moschatum and Brassica rapa ssp. silvestris. The property with the highest incidence of TSWV-infected lettuce had a relatively higher proportion of virus-infected weeds but less thrips activity during the infection period.

Water use was measured using the heat pulse technique at six sites that varied in flood duration from 0 to 78 days. Soil chloride, plant water potential and surface root mass were also measured. Suppression of tree water use did not occur during flooding regardless of flood length and site health, suggesting that sufficient oxygen had been available to the trees. Increases in tree water use occurred at some sites after the flood because of increases in water availability due to leaching of salt from the soil profile. The soils with a higher clay content incurred little leaching of salts and therefore little change in tree water availability. In contrast, the sites with more sandy soils encountered greater leaching and greater increases in tree water availability. Despite differing soil type responses, all tree communities investigated showed a reduction in tree water stress in the period after flooding. These findings suggest that flooding in this environment improves the health of Eucalyptus largiflorens in the short-term. The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to the management of the Chowilla Anabranch.

Treatment of bacterial pellets of both strains with hydrochloric acid significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced the binding ability when compared to nontreated pellets or pellets treated by other methods.

Ethanol, UV radiation, sonication, alkaline, or pH treatments either had no effect or reduced the binding ability of the bacteria.

We use an ocean circulation model of the Polynesian region with 26.5 km resolution and four open boundaries to find advective pathways from Mururoa to other islands. The model is driven by monthly mean wind stress and by the large-scale circulation determined from the wind stress curl at the northern and southern boundaries. Surface trajectories vary strongly with the seasons but always indicate southward or south-westward movement. Trajectories at 50 m and 100 m follow the South Equatorial Current westward. According to the model, no islands in the main island groups north of the latitude of Mururoa (22 degree S) are on a direct (advective) pathway with Mururoa or Fangataufa at any time. The islands most in danger of exposure to material from the two nuclear test sites are those in the Austral Group.

Seven trees were crossed with pollen from trees: 0 m (selfing); 21 m (nearest flowering neighbors), 250 m, 500 m, 1 km, 10 km, and 100 km away from the female. Only selfing depressed seed set. Growth of the 21 m progenies was intermediate to selfing and the longer distance pollinations, suggesting tight family clusters occur due to limited seed dispersal. Under this structure biparental inbreeding may be common, however, the cumulative impact of inbreeding seems negligible as relatedness did not appear to decline with distance between mates beyond 50 m.

A study was conducted in 14 orchards in Victoria to assess the respiratory and dermal exposures of mixer-loader-applicators to both parathions in air blast application, and to compare overseas surrogate (model) data with this real-use situation in Australia. Personal and static air samples were collected through a sampling assembly (modified UKAEA inspirable mass sampler plus adsorbent tube), dermal samples were collected by skin pad dosimetry and glove samplers, and urine samples were collected to determine the p-nitrophenol levels. The 16 workers who participated in this study were potentially exposed to total parathion levels of 0.2 to 305.9 mg/h [geometric mean (GM) = 18.8 mg/h, mean = 92.5 mg/h, 75th percentile = 159.6 mg/h] if polyvinylchloride gloves were not worn. The use of open tractors or more concentrated sprays (commonly with electrostatic sprayers) has been found to cause higher respiratory and dermal exposures, as compared with the use of air-conditioned cabins or less concentrated sprays (usually with high pressure sprayers). Four workers who had applied concentrated sprays and had prior exposure showed urinary levels of p-nitrophenol in excess of the biological exposure index of 0.5 mg/g creatinine, despite the fact that the concomitant dermal dosimetric measurements would have reduced skin absorption. A good correlation was found between the amount of parathion applied and urinary p-nitrophenol level (r = 0.97). The overall findings are consistent with the results of most overseas studies and with the predicted values extrapolated from the U.K. Predictive Operator Exposure Model and the USA/Canada Pesticide Handlers Exposure Database.

The amplified DNA product (984 bp) was used to probe SmaI and DraI digested total DNA of methicillin- and multi-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) type strains, methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) clinical isolates, and community (commensal) isolates. A SmaI fragment of a similar size in all the isolates examined hybridized with the coagulase gene fragment probe. All MRSA isolates, representing closely related (clonal) types, revealed identical coagulase hybridization patterns with DraI digested DNA. MSSA and community isolates closely related to ISP8 by SmaI fragment analysis shared closely related DraI/coagulase hybridization patterns, differing from that identified for the MRSAs. In contrast, the community and MSSA isolates not related to ISP8 as judged by total SmaI fragment polymorphisms, were also diverse in their DraI/coagulase hybridization patterns. In addition, the intensity of the hybridization signal obtained with the MRSA isolates varied significantly (less than) from the other isolates, indicating the presence of multiple and probably different coagulase genes between the isolates. The findings reported here indicate that hybridization analysis using single genes as DNA probes is less discriminant than restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the total genome of different isolates..

The role of season of treatment in the efficacy of smoke as a promotive germination agent was investigated over two growing seasons using natural soil stored seedbanks in Banksia woodland near Perth, Western Australia. Smoke was applied to unburnt sites in the autumn, winter and spring of 1994. Germinant emergence and seedling survival of 37 species representing 18 families was monitored in both unburnt sites and in adjacent, recently burnt sites until the second spring after treatment (October 1995). Recruitment from seed was found to be profoundly affected by the season in which dormancy breaking treatment had been applied. The promotive effect extended beyond the initial year of application. For the majority of the species investigated, application of smoke to unburnt sites in autumn promoted a significantly greater germination response than treatment in winter or spring. In only three cases (introduced annuals, the Fabaceae and Hibbertia amplexicaulis) did autumn smoke treatment not yield better germination than in summer-burnt counterparts. However, in almost half of the cases examined, proportions of seedlings surviving past their first summer after emergence in burnt areas were consistently greater than those in smoked or untreated sites. Most notably, no seedlings emerging during the spring of the first year of study survived into the following summer. Implications of the results with respect to future seed bank research and management of native vegetation are discussed.

Only sexually mature southern bluefin tuna were taken on the spawning ground and were caught in every month except July, although relative abundance was low from May to August. Peaks in abundance occurred during October and February. Individuals do not spawn over the whole season, and there is a turnover of fish on the spawning ground. The presence of oocytes in all stages of development and the absence of a hiatus in the oocyte size-frequency distributions between unyolked and early yolked oocytes indicate that southern bluefin tuna have asynchronous oocyte development and indeterminate annual fecundity. The presence of either migratory nucleus or hydrated oocytes and postovulatory follicles in the ovaries of many females indicates that southern bluefin tuna are capable of multiple spawning. On the basis of the proportion of females with postovulatory follicles, it appears that females spawn on average every 1.1 days. The average spawning batch fecundity, estimated from counts of hydrated oocytes, was 6.0 million oocytes or 57 oocytes per gram of body weight.

AN - 79948252; 9635411 AB - We examined the alteration of acetohexamide reductase activities in kidney microsomes and cytosol of cadmium (Cd)-treated rats. Acetohexamide reductase activity in kidney microsomes of male rats was markedly decreased by treatment with Cd at a dose of 1.23 mg/kg body weight. However, the decreased enzyme activity was completely restored by repeated treatment with testosterone propionate. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the treatment with Cd indirectly affect the androgen-dependent acetohexamide reductase activity in kidney microsomes of male rats, possibly by depressing androgen production. In the case of female rats, unlike male rats, the microsomal enzyme activity was little detectable, and was unaffected by the treatment with Cd. Furthermore, Cd treatment had no significant effect on acetohexamide reductase activity in kidney cytosol of male or female rats.

Hearing on Examining the Role of Charter Schools in Educational Reform, State and Federal Funds, and S. 1380 and H.R. 2616, Bills To Extend the Authorization of Funds through Fiscal Year 2002 for Titles VI and X of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act To Expand the Implementation of Public Charter Schools of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62447615; ED424683 AB - Charter schools are public schools that are established through state law and are often released from traditional regulations that apply to public schools in return for an accountability system that emphasizes student outcomes. This hearing focused on how Federal education funds are distributed to charter schools; the academic and administrative operations of charter schools; the impact of a charter-school environment on special-needs students; and the impact of charter schools on the public school system. The hearing includes the statements of Representative Tim Roemer; Senator Joseph Lieberman; Cornelia Blanchette, associate director of education and employment issues, Health, Education, and Human Services Division of the General Accounting Office; Lisa Keegan, state superintendent of Public Instruction, Arizona; Senator Christopher Dodd; Joan Heffernan, director of the Integrated Day Charter School; Raymond Jackson, president and chief executive officer of ATOP Academy; Tim Sindelar, an attorney for the Disability Law Center; and Eric Rofes, who produced a report on how school districts respond to charter laws and charter schools. Some of the issues covered include how some charter schools improve graduation rates and how some of these schools underserve the special-education population.

Those who support 'ecosystem management' are hoping for a formal recognition of the ecosystem-based approach as standard operating procedure for the U.S. Government. However, opponents have come to challenge the concept on both its scientific and constitutional merits. Those who claim to be practicing ecosystem management have watched intently during the 104th Congress to see whether national initiatives: (i) can adapt to conservative concepts of governance and budgetary pressures, (ii) will collapse in a general regulatory retreat with fading commitment from the Clinton Administration, or (iii) will be adopted as U.S. policy for managing America's publicly owned natural, cultural, and economic resources.

At baseline, there was a significantly greater percentage of B cells and significantly smaller percentage of CD8 super(+) cells in lymph nodes compared with peripheral blood. Evaluation of lymphocyte phenotypic markers of function, maturation, and activation at baseline revealed a significantly higher percentage of activated CD4 super(+) cells in lymph nodes compared with peripheral blood, whereas the percentages of activated CD8 super(+) cells were similar in both compartments. After an 8-week period of randomly assigned treatment, peripheral blood phenotypic marker changes included (1) a reduced proportion of activated cells (HLA-DR super(+)) in antiretroviral-naive patients who received zidovudine (ZDV), and (2) as increased proportion of "naive" cells (CD45RA super(+)) in individuals, previously administered ZDV alone, who received ZDV and didanosine (ddI) therapy. The lymph node phenotypic marker analysis showed no significant changes over the 8-week treatment period. Overall, the study demonstrates significant differences in lymphocyte subsets from lymph nodes compared with peripheral blood and suggests that further studies be performed to determine the functional significance of these phenotypic subsets.

AN - 79723325; 9494079 AB - The roles of calmodulin-binding sites in the regulation by Ca2+, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) of the Drosophila melanogaster TRPL (transient-receptor-potential-like) non-specific Ca2+ channel were investigated. Wild-type TRPL protein and two mutant forms, TRPL (W713G) and TRPL (W814G), in which a key tryptophan residue in each of the two putative calmodulin-binding sites (Sites 1 and 2, respectively) was replaced by glycine, were expressed heterologously in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Immunofluorescence studies indicated that the expressed TRPL, TRPL (W713G) and TRPL (W814G) proteins are located at the plasma membrane. TRPL oocytes (oocytes injected with trpl cRNA) and TRPL (W814G) oocytes [oocytes injected with trpl (W814G) cRNA] exhibited substantially greater rates of basal (constitutive) Ca2+ inflow (measured using fluo-3 and the Ca2+ add-back protocol) than mock-injected oocytes (mock oocytes). In TRPL (W713G) oocytes, this difference was abolished. In TRPL and TRPL (W814G) [oocytes injected with trpl (W713G) cRNA], but not in TRPL (W713G) oocytes, basal Ca2+ inflow was inhibited by W13, an inhibitor of calmodulin action. Calmodulin (3 muM intracellular) inhibited basal Ca2+ inflow in TRPL but not in TRPL (W713G) or TRPL (W814G) oocytes. Staurosporin, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), inhibited, while PMA (an activator of PKC) stimulated, basal Ca2+ inflow in TRPL oocytes. In oocytes incubated in the presence of PMA (to suppress Ca2+ inflow through endogenous receptor-activated Ca2+ channels), the InsP3-induced stimulation of Ca2+ inflow through TRPL channels was more clearly evident than in oocytes incubated in the absence of PMA. InsP3 caused a significant stimulation of Mn2+ inflow in TRPL but not in mock oocytes. Rates of InsP3-stimulated Ca2+ inflow through the TRPL, TRPL (W713G) and TRPL (W814G) channels were similar. The ability of GTPgammaS to stimulate Ca2+ inflow through TRPL channels was inhibited by 50% in TRPL (W713G) oocytes but was unaffected in TRPL (W814G) oocytes. It is concluded that, in the environment of the Xenopus oocyte, the Drosophila TRPL channel is activated by (a) interaction with Ca2+/calmodulin at calmodulin-binding Site 1; (b) PKC; (c) InsP3 in a process that does not involve Ca2+ and calmodulin; and (d) a trimeric G-protein(s) through both a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent and a Ca2+/calmodulin-independent mechanism.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. House of Representatives. One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62444370; ED424326 AB - The Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight held a hearing to discuss an accurate census of the District of Columbia public schools and the system's enrollment. Subcommittee Chairman Thomas M. Davis (Virginia) noted that an accurate and reliable count of student enrollment is directly related to the system's ability to determine how many classrooms are needed and how many teachers, administrators, and support personnel are required. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (District of Columbia) concurred and mentioned some of the issues that make an accurate enrollment count difficult, and Congresswoman Constance A. Morella (Maryland) also voiced her agreement. The first statement of the first panel was from Cornelia M. Blanchette of the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), who described the GAO's August 1997 report and the actions the District of Columbia schools reported taking in response to the report. George Grier, representing a statistical consulting firm, talked about the difficulties of obtaining a correct count of students in an urban district where many students come from or go to surrounding jurisdictions. General Julius W. Becton, the Chief Executive Officer and Superintendent of the District of Columbia Public Schools, reported on efforts to improve the accuracy of the school counts. Richard Wenning of the District of Columbia Public Schools discussed steps taken to improve the enrollment counts, and a general discussion of the problems and potential solutions followed. The afternoon panel consisted of: (1) Joyce Ladner, Member of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority; (2) Bruce K. MacLaury, Chairman of the school system's Emergency Transitional Education Board of Trustees; and (3) Wilma Harvey, President of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia. These officials discussed enrollment counting in the context of the transitional Board of Education and the overall District of Columbia educational reform effort. Prepared statements of the witnesses at this hearing follow their remarks or are substituted for them in some instances.
