T1  - Process-based forest productivity models and their application in forest management
AN  - 16300374; 4231190
AB  - Few process-based forest productivity models have become incorporated into forest management systems. The prevalent perception is that process-based models are suited only for research applications and that management questions will be solved only by using descriptive empirical models. This is despite the fact that the latter can neither deal satisfactorily with changing environmental and management conditions nor answer all questions currently asked by managers. This paper develops the proposition that the end-use specifies the design and scale of forest simulation models, and that given the range of questions now asked in forest management a range of models is required. The spatial and temporal resolution, and the input and output data required to address typical forest management questions is examined. A survey of recent literature examines in which areas, and by whom, existing forest productivity models are being applied. It is concluded that many current management questions can be adequately answered using models in which a phenomenological approach is applied to predict annual forest growth at the stand-scale. Lumped-parameter process-based models and hybrid models provide the most immediate means through which our understanding of the biological processes underlying forest growth can be included in forest management systems. However, more detailed process-based models can play an important role in validating simpler models, in the development of generalizations applicable over long time scales and for testing hypotheses about the way trees function and respond to interacting stresses. Guidelines are also given on model structures appropriate for different classes of management questions.

T1  - Improving Mathematics in Middle School: Lessons from TIMSS and Related Research.
AN  - 62560617; ED417956
AB  - Results from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) have recently captured the attention of the United States and once again focused the nation on matters of mathematics teaching and learning. In general, the TIMSS results indicate a pervasive and intolerable mediocrity in mathematics teaching and learning in the middle grades and beyond. At Grades 7 and 8 and also at Grade 12, U.S. students achieve poorly in mathematics compared to students in much of the rest of the world. Even the 12th-grade students who take advanced mathematics courses performed substantially below students in most other nations. The results also suggest that the demands made by the U.S. school mathematics curriculum and mathematics classroom instruction are not as challenging as in other countries. This document reports the major findings from TIMMS and makes some recommendations for enhancing mathematics teaching and learning in the middle grades. Contains 40 references. (ASK)

T1  - Public Elementary and Secondary Education Statistics: School Year 1997-98. Early Estimates.
AN  - 62559848; ED418991
AB  - The early estimates system from which this report is gathered is designed to allow the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to publish key statistics before the end of the school year in which they are reported. The information is collected through contact with public school state education agencies. Public school estimates consist of: preliminary actual counts for individual states; estimates derived by the states for the NCES; and estimated values developed by the NCES from state-specific and national data. These estimates indicate that there were approximately 46.1 million students in U.S. public elementary and secondary schools in fall 1997, compared with 45.2 million in fall 1996. These students were taught by an estimated 2.7 million teachers. Student membership and teacher count data yield pupil-to-teacher ratios for grade levels prekindergarten through grade 12 of 16.9 for public schools in the 1997-98 school year. An estimated 2.4 million students graduated from high school in the 1996-97 school year. Revenues for public elementary and secondary education in fiscal year 1997 are estimated to be $297.2 billion, and they are expected to rise to approximately $309.7 billion in fiscal year 1998. The per-pupil expenditure for public education is estimated to be $6,131 per student in membership for the 1997-98 school year. A technical notes section discusses the methods by which estimates were made and their accuracy. (Contains seven tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Gender Differences in Earnings among Young Adults Entering the Labor Market. Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62545588; ED417308
AB  - The source of data for analysis of earning differences between men and women was the High School and Beyond (HS&B) study that tracked the 1980 sophomore class from high school to postsecondary education and the labor market. Analyses indicated that in 1992, 10 years after most of the students who were the subjects in the study graduated from high school, women were less likely than men to work consistently after they left school--one-third compared to 46 percent. Men with no more than a high school diploma or General Educational Development certificate earned $25,601, whereas women earned $19,333 in the last full year after highest degree attainment. Men who earned certificates or associate's degrees earned $22,410 in the first year of work; women earned $19,446. In the last year of work, the men earned $26,969; women earned $21,868. Female workers with Bachelor's degrees earned $22,602 the year after graduation compared to $26,778 earned by men. By the last year of work, men were earning $34,104 compared to $27,259 for women. The gender dominance of the major field of study for students who earned any postsecondary degree or certificate was related to their earnings. Workers who graduated in female-dominated fields started work earning $20,855; those in male-dominated fields earned $26,170. By their last full year of employment studied, workers in female dominated field earned $24,307 compared to those in male dominated fields who earned $31,292. Men who graduated with Bachelor's degrees in gender-neutral fields earned more than women in the same fields. (Appendixes contain a glossary, technical notes, and a 24-item bibliography.) (YLB)

T1  - Selected Papers in School Finance, 1996.
AN  - 62531299; ED417494
AB  - The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) surveys the changing landscape in education finance by commissioning papers from members of the school finance research community. Papers that address the questions of the current and future financial condition for school districts are presented here. The papers, which are intended to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers and policymakers, take two separate tacks. One set explores the present financial condition of school districts, focusing on how a retiring work force may influence the finances of school districts, how school districts respond to fiscal exigencies, and the efficacy of urban school districts. The other papers propose an imaginative new way of funding education, at the school level, and simulates the results for Texas, offering a summary of issues and problems related to school-based funding approaches. The recurrent theme revolves around the proposition that state aid should be distributed to schools rather than to school districts. Some of the specific topics addressed here include the dynamics of teacher salary expense, how school districts respond to fiscal constraint, the condition of urban school finance, reinventing education finance, and exploring alternatives for school-based funding.

T1  - Private School Universe Survey, 1995-96. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62530854; ED417493
AB  - In fall 1995, the United States had 27,686 private elementary and secondary schools. Data on these private schools, organized by school size, school level, religious orientation, geographical region, community type, and program emphasis are presented in this report. The information was collected from the Private School Survey, which was designed to collect data from all private schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The tables contained in the report classify data using three classificatory schemes: private school typology, religious and non-sectarian categories, and association membership. Results show that of the three primary types of private schools--Catholic, other religious, and non-sectarian--other religious schools were the most numerous (47 percent), followed by Catholic schools (30 percent) and non-sectarian schools (23 percent). However, of the approximately 5 million students enrolled in the nation's private schools, Catholic schools had more students (50 percent) than other types of private schools. Regions with the most private schools were the Midwest (27 percent) and South (29 percent). The region with the fewest private schools was the West (21 percent). Eighty percent of the schools emphasized a regular elementary/secondary program. Numerous charts and tables provide additional statistics. (RJM)

T1  - Violence and Discipline Problems in U.S. Public Schools: 1996-97.
AN  - 62530254; ED417257
AB  - Under a Congressional mandate, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is required to collect data on the frequency, seriousness, and incidence of violence in elementary and secondary schools. The NCES responded to this requirement by commissioning a survey, the Principal/School Disciplinarian Survey on School Violence, the results of which are detailed in this report. The school violence survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,234 regular public elementary, middle, and secondary schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the spring and summer of 1997. The survey requested information on: (1) the incidence of crime and violence in the public schools; (2) principals' (or school disciplinarians') perceptions about discipline issues; (3) types of disciplinary actions schools took; and (4) security and violence prevention measures in the schools. More than half of U.S. public schools reported experiencing at least one crime incident in the school year 1996-97, and 1 in 10 schools reported at least one serious violent crime during the school year. Crime and violence were more of a problem in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. Middle and high schools were more likely to report that they had experienced one or more incidents of any crime and one or more incidents of serious violent crime than elementary schools. Most public schools reported having zero tolerance policies towards serious student offenses, and most schools reported that they used low levels of security measures to prevent violence. Most schools reported having formal school violence prevention programs. An appendix contains the survey questionnaire. (Contains 12 figures, 32 tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Verification of Australian monthly district rainfall totals using high resolution gridded analyses
AN  - 17387584; 4598396
AB  - The use of district rainfall totals for the description of Australian rainfall on monthly and longer time-scales has been investigated using a gridded rainfall dataset generated using an objective analysis technique. It has been verified that the operational district totals, generated within the Bureau of Meteorology for rainfall monitoring and prediction purposes, provide a reasonable indication of rainfall on the whole, both in the mean and in individual months. Some deficiencies have been found in the district totals in certain parts of the country, most notably in the subtropical parts of Western Australia, southern half of the Northern Territory, tropical Queensland, and western Tasmania. In each of these areas districts encompass geographical regions with large spatial variation in rainfall, and the distribution of stations available for the calculation of district average rainfall is not sufficient. The appropriateness of the district boundaries and the variability of rainfall within districts is also investigated.

T1  - Reconnaissance limnology of Tasmania IV. The distribution and ecological preferences of Tasmanian species of freshwater calanoid copepods (Crustacea: Centropagidae)
AN  - 16552763; 4366267
AB  - The species of calanoid copepods occurring in 323 lakes chosen to cover all of the broad spectrum of limnological conditions experienced in Tasmania has been determined. Some species are distinctly segregated into two assemblages across the abrupt limnological divide that sets apart eastern and western montane limnological provinces. These species show distinct limnological preferences aligned with the dichotomy in limnological conditions. Some of these species occur also in the third limnological province of coastal lagoons, preserving their preferences. Distribution patterns in these three provinces are essentially natural and, in montane regions, a post-glacial event. In settled regions of the state, ubiquitous, opportunistic species have spread as agricultural ponds have been created, and even into the highland regions in the wake of development for hydro-electricity. A few species have restricted, disjunct distributions, such as in the few Tasmanian salt lakes where species characteristic of such habitats on mainland Australia occur. Two species (Boeckella propinqua longisetosa and Boeckella rubra) are Tasmanian endemics. Another (Boeckella nyoraensis) is now known only from the island.

T1  - Acinetobacter bacteraemia in patients with diarrhoeal disease
AN  - 16469686; 4347187
AB  - In 1994, 171 (27%) of all positive blood cultures in our hospital were due to Acinetobacter species. Of these, 138 cultures were considered significant, 91 (66%) were community-acquired and 47 (34%) were nosocomial. Most acinetobacter bacteraemia in children less than or equal to 1 year old was community-acquired, while nosocomial infection was more common in children > 1 year old (P = 0.01). Most children less than or equal to 5 years old were severely malnourished. The incidence of bacteraemia was lowest during the post-monsoon to early winter months. Acinetobacter bacteraemia associated mortality was twice (16%) that of all other patients (7.7%, P < 0.0005) and accounted for 4.5% of all hospital deaths during the study period. Bacteraemia caused by Acinetobacter species is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among our patient population with diarrhoeal disease.

T1  - The role of microscopy in the investigation of paramyosin as a vaccine candidate against Schistosoma japonicum
AN  - 16429961; 4332635
AB  - There has been growing interest in paramyosin as a vaccine component to combat schistosomiasis. Immunological and molecular techniques have been used in the past to investigate the effectiveness of a paramyosin vaccine as an anti-schistosomal treatment. However, recent localization studies at ultrastructural and morphological levels have highlighted a number of questions concerning the role of paramyosin within schistosome parasites. Debates about how a non-surface protein such as paramyosin might provide protection against schistosome infections have recently been addressed by microscopy results. Immunolocalization studies have indicated multiple functions of paramyosin within the parasite and provided insights into how a vaccine may target the parasite, as discussed here by Geoffrey Gobert.

T1  - Was there sufficient justification for the 10-fold increase in the TLV for silica fume? A critical review
AN  - 16428868; 4329312
AB  - In 1992, the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for amorphous silica fume produced as a by-product of metallurgical processes was revised upwards from 0.2 mg/m super(3) (respirable dust) to 2.0 mg/m super(3). Comparison of the documentation justifying the lower TLV published by the ACGIH in 1989, with the subsequent documentation justifying the higher value published in 1992, does not support this increase. Following an outline of the problem areas existing in interpretational difficulties of experimental and review material in the silica fume bibliography, this paper provides a detailed examination of the six additional references cited in the 1992 documentation. All additional material suggests a need for extra caution, particularly with respect to recent experimental work in Australia on the sizing of silica fume. This paper concludes that the health evidence supports a TLV for silica fume closer to 0.3 mg/m super(3) rather than the current 2.0 mg/m super(3) now adopted in the U.S. and Australia.

T1  - The effect of two scales of habitat architecture on benthic grazing in a river
AN  - 16424339; 4323625
AB  - 1. This experiment studied the effects of differing levels of the complexity of substratum architecture at two spatial scales on the distribution and abundance of benthic algae and invertebrates, and the strength of the trophic interaction between invertebrate grazers and algae. Some estimates of the effects on invertebrate colonization rates were also made. 2. Four levels of microhabitat architectural complexity were created using artificial substrata (clay tiles) and placed in Mountain River, Tasmania, in two riffle types (bedrock and boulder-cobble) of differing large-scale substratum complexity. After a colonization period, invertebrate grazers were removed from half the tiles to measure the effects of grazing. Invertebrates on the tiles were also counted and identified. At the end of the experiment, algae were removed from the tiles and analysed for chlorophyll a. 3. Invertebrate grazers did not reduce algal biomass during the experiment, and microhabitat-scale architecture influenced algal biomass more strongly than riffle-scale architecture. Highly complex microhabitat architecture increased algal biomass by providing more surface area, but once standardized for surface area, algal biomass decreased as the complexity of microhabitat architecture increased. 4. Microhabitat-scale architecture was also predominant in determining invertebrate density and the identity of the dominant grazer species. In contrast to algal biomass, invertebrate densities and species density increased with the complexity of microhabitat architecture, suggesting that refuges from flow (and possibly predation) were as important to river invertebrates as the distribution of their food source. 5. Riffle-scale architecture had some effect on the colonization of two slow-moving grazer taxa, but, overall, the colonization processes of slow-moving grazers were determined mostly by the complexity of microhabitat-scale architecture.

T1  - Comparative analysis of the mating system of the rare woodland shrub Daviesia suaveolens and its common congener D. mimosoides
AN  - 16420993; 4326917
AB  - Controlled pollinations and allozyme markers were used to compare mating system parameters among three populations of the rare woodland shrub Daviesia suaveolens Crisp. and five populations of its common relative D. mimosoides R. Br. Pollination results show that both species require a vector to facilitate pollination and have strong self-incompatibility mechanisms. Multilocus estimates of outcrossing rates confirm this, with all populations being highly outcrossed (D. suaveolens t sub(m) = 0.78-1.0; D. mimosoides t sub(m) = 0.71-0.96). Smaller and less dense D. mimosoides populations had higher correlations of outcrossed paternity than larger ones. The divergence of pollen pool allele frequencies from population frequencies was greater in smaller populations than in larger ones, in keeping with a lower effective size of the male source. Regression analyses generally failed to show effects of either plant size or local flowering environment on estimates of single-plant outcrossing rates. Most variation in these rates probably reflects the combined effects of sampling error, correlated mating and the influence of marker diversity on outcross detectability.

T1  - Guarding specialisation in pre-reproductive colonies of the allodapine bee Exoneura bicolor
AN  - 16417248; 4310432
AB  - The allodapine bee Exoneura bicolor constructs linear nests in pithy centres of dead plant material. Brood is reared progressively. During winter, nests usually contain one mated female with large ovaries and several subordinate females with small ovaries. The dominant female pheromonally inhibits ovarian enlargement of subordinate females. During the foraging season, dominant females guard the nest, while subordinate females undertake the more risk prone foraging activities. During winter, virtually no foraging occurs. Therefore, guarding might be the most dangerous activity during winter. In this paper we investigate whether the position of females in the nest during winter is related to dominance. Females did not change relative position frequently and the position of females decreased near monotonically with ovary size, with the dominant female closest to the nest entrance. It is concluded that: (1) dominant females do not move about in the nest to ensure spread of their pheromones among nestmates, or to behaviourally inhibit ovarian enlargement of subordinates; (2) dominant females do not force subordinates to guard the nest. Because the guard is probably the female that is most subject to predation during winter, guarding by the dominant should have some payoffs. Potential benefits are: (a) contamination of incoming air with volatile pheromones; (b) preventing intruders from entering the nest; (c) controlling nestmates leaving and entering the nest. The latter may enable females to control food that is brought back into the nest, and to prevent mating by subordinate females. Our results indicate that social structure within these nests is influenced by the linear structure of the nest burrows.

T1  - Trunk muscle use during pulling tasks: Effects of a lifting belt and footing conditions
AN  - 16400396; 4310963
AB  - Pulling tasks require the torso to act as a rigid link in order to facilitate the force transmission between the ground and the hands. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a lifting belt increases the rigidity of the torso, thereby increasing pulling strength or reducing trunk muscle forces, or both, as pulling tasks are performed. Twelve volunteers performed maximal and submaximal isometric pulling exertions; the latter were performed on nonslippery and slippery surfaces. Electromyographic data from 8 trunk muscles, trunk kinematic data, and ground reaction forces were sampled during each exertion. Results indicated that the lifting belt had no effect during maximal exertions on the maximal pull forces generated or the muscle recruitment levels, irrespective of the pulling posture. The lifting belt did not affect the EMG data obtained during the submaximal (40% of maximum) exertions, even when participants pulled on a slippery surface. However, the slippery surface increased the coactivation within the trunk musculature, perhaps stiffening the torso in the event of a slip. The absence of a statistical interaction effect between the lifting belt and the footing condition (slipperiness) indicates that the belt did not alter the coactivation pattern and hence was not relied upon by the participants as a protective mechanism. The data presented here will assist those who must make decisions regarding lifting-belt use and those who train individuals in manual materials handling techniques.

T1  - The use of temporary pond microcosms for aquatic toxicity testing: Direct and indirect effects of endosulfan on community structure
AN  - 16203228; 4276809
AB  - Replicate aquatic microcosms can be established using sediment from the basin of dried temporary ponds. When the sediment is flooded with water, the resting stages or eggs of zooplankton, phytoplankton, macrophytes and filamentous algae are activated and a complex community develops in a few weeks. The aim of this study was to test the utility of using temporary pond microcosms for aquatic toxicity testing, by dosing a set of microcosms with the organochlorine pesticide, endosulfan and measuring physical, chemical and biological responses over a period of 10 weeks. A total of 20 3-l microcosms were established and after 6 weeks dosed with endosulfan at 0, 1, 10 or 50 mu g/ l endosulfan. The application was repeated after 3 weeks. The pH, conductivity, dawn and dusk oxygen levels, ammonia, nitrite, orthophosphate, chlorophyll-a, zooplankton and phytoplankton were measured at weekly intervals. After 10 weeks the total composition of each microcosm was determined and endosulfan residues in the macrophytes and sediments measured. The half-life of endosulfan in the water column was approximately 24 h. After 10 weeks, the initial applications of endosulfan, between 6 and 12% of the initial dose could be recovered from the sediment in a toxic form ( alpha or beta endosulfan or endosulfan sulfate). Total mean endosulfan residues were 0.57, 27 and 61 ng/g dry weight in macrophytes and 1.49, 7.0 and 36 ng/g dry weight in the sediments for the 1, 10 and 50 mu g/l treatments, respectively. At 10 and 50 mu g/l endosulfan, populations of ostracods and calanoid copepods were eliminated and the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia sp. significantly reduced. There were significant increases in Simocephalus sp., tardigrades, filamentous algae, chlorophyll-a and macrophytes. Orthophosphate concentrations were correlated with macrophyte biomass and were lower in the treated microcosms. Nitrite levels were also lower in the treated microcosms. There was quantal shift in composition of the animal community between 1 and 10 mu g/l endosulfan which could be visualized using the ordination technique multi-dimensional scaling. The mechanisms underlying this quantal shift in community structure are analyzed and the advantages and limitations of using temporary pond microcosms for toxicity testing are discussed.

T1  - Dengue Fever Epidemic Potential as Predicted by General Circulation Models of Global Climate Change
AN  - 14486654; 10550663
AB  - Outbreaks in urban areas infected with dengue fever's primary vector, Aedes aegypti, can involve up to 7080% of the population, with no vaccine currently available. The transmission of dengue viruses is influenced by climate, among other factors, with the infectious agents requiring cold-blooded invertebrate species to complete their life cycle. Temperature strongly affects pathogen replication, maturation, and period of infectivity. A scenario-based modeling approach is presented as an important step toward quantifying potential alteration in dengue transmission as a result of climate change. The focus was on the influence of temperature on the dynamics of viral transmission for a given infected mosquito population. Climate-model outputs were applied to the vectorial capacity model of disease transmission using well-validated climate-related parameters previously used in a dengue-transmission simulation model. The outcome parameter was the epidemic potential, which is the reciprocal of the critical-density threshold. Results suggested that epidemic potential increased with a relatively small temperature rise, indicating that fewer mosquitoes would be necessary to maintain or spread dengue in a vulnerable population.

T1  - Bioavailability and Biotransformation of Benzo(a)pyrene in an Isolated Perfused in Situ Catfish Intestinal Preparation
AN  - 14486563; 10550664
AB  - An in situ isolated perfused catfish intestinal model was used to examine the metabolism and bioavailability of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), with the dosages used based on determinations of relevant biotransformation enzymes in the intestine. Dietary pretreatment involved the CYP1A-inducer, beta -naphthoflavone, to induce the intestine but not the liver. Results showed that the systematic bioavailability of BaP molar equivalents was significantly greater with higher BaP doses and pretreatment with beta -naphthoflavone, but increases in bioavailability could not be accounted for solely by changes in metabolism. Both primary and secondary biotransformation pathways appeared to increase systemic uptake. Conjugates were proportionally favored under low-dose uninduced conditions, while benzo-ring diols were proportionally more important following beta -naphthoflavone pretreatment.

T1  - Pulmonary Toxicity in Hamsters of Smoke Particles from Kuwaiti Oil Fires
AN  - 14486530; 10550662
AB  - Samples of particulate air pollution were collected in the town of Ahmadi, Kuwait, which is located downwind from the oil fires that occurred during the Gulf War, and hamsters were instilled intratracheally with the particulate samples to assess their relative pulmonary toxicity. The bioassay protocol is outlined. Results indicated that the smoke particles were toxic, causing an inflammatory response comparable to that observed in animals instilled with the positive control. Within 1 d, there was an increase in the number of neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage, as well as elevated myeloperoxidase activity. The fire particles were also found to be genotoxic, increasing sister chromatid exchanges. The overall results suggested that the acute toxicity of the smoke particles was comparable to that of urban particles, possibly contributing to both acute and chronic cardiopulmonary disease and death.

AB  - Freshly isolated human alveolar macrophages were incubated with well-characterized urban particles, negative-control Mount Saint Helen's ash, and residual-oil flyash, and the macrophages were examined subsequently for cell viability by trypan blue exclusion and for apoptosis by morphology, cell death, and DNA ladder formation. Results showed that residual-oil flyash and two types of urban particles induced apoptosis and induced shifts in the alveolar macrophage phenotypes to a more immune-stimulatory state. The Mount Saint Helen's ash caused no adverse effects.

T1  - Cows for Fear: Is BSE a Threat to Human Health?
AN  - 14485883; 10550657
AB  - Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, caused a major fear among consumers of beef in the UK in 1996. In 1997, the European Union banned orally ingestible medicines that contain animal by-products, which covers approximately 80% of such medicines. The reason cited was the appearance among humans of a new variant of the rare but serious CreutzfeldtJakob disease (CJD). Results of recent studies suggest that variant CJD and certain types of spongiform encephalopathy are transmissible among animal species. The origins of BSE are examined, and some possible alternative causes of spongiform encephalopathy are identified and discussed, including the possibility of an autoimmune disease, an elusive virus, and spiroplasma. Efforts to find the disease agent are described. It is suggested that the transmission of spongiform encephalopathy from food to humans has probably occurred and that the implicated cattle tissue should be disposed of according to the strictest protocols for infectious waste.

T1  - The Estrogenicity of Bisphenol A-Related Diphenylalkanes with Various Substituents at the Central Carbon and the Hydroxy Groups
AN  - 14485488; 10550665
AB  - Diphenylalkanes are among the leading chemicals in plastics, with bisphenol A a primary raw material. Results are presented from a study in which bisphenol A-derived compounds with substitution of the hydroxy groups and the central carbon atom were analyzed in terms of their estrogenic potential. The MCF7 breast cancer cell line was used. Results showed that bisphenol F, bisphenol AF, and other diphenylalkanes were estrogenic in MCF7 cells, promoting cell proliferation and increasing the synthesis and secretion of cell-type specific proteins. The most active molecule was that with two propyl chains at the central carbon. The data further suggested that not only the distance between para-hydroxy groups but also the nature of the bridging carbon substituents may determine estrogenicity. The estrogenicity of bisphenol polymers may be due to their nonpolymerized monomers or by chemical degradation.

T1  - Confirmation of ray blight disease of pyrethrum in Australia
AN  - 1020857541; 16786341
AB  - Isolations from affected plant parts of pyrethrum exhibiting flower bud abortion and necrotic symptoms consistently yielded a Phoma sp., identified as the anamorph of Didpella ligulicola, the causal agent of ray blight of chrysanthemum. Pathogenicity of both mycelial and conidial inoculum of the isolated fungus to pyrethrum was proven. Infection of stem pieces occurred by direct penetration of the fungal hyphae with invasion being both inter- and intracellular. Infection was associated with red pigmentation and cytoplasmic crystalline inclusions of host tissues. This is the first confirmed record of this disease of pyrethrum in Australia.

T1  - Construction of a umuC'-luxAB plasmid for the detection of mutagenic DNA repair via luminescence
AN  - 16204290; 4277292
AB  - This paper describes a novel system for the detection of mutagenic DNA repair in Escherichia coli . The DNA damage inducible umuC gene of Escherichia coli has been fused to the luxAB genes from Vibrio harveyi that encode the enzyme luciferase. Mutagenicity has been assessed semi-quantitatively by the induction of bioluminescence. This system is simple, rapid and equivalent in sensitivity to other currently available test procedures. Its use in the detection of known SOS mutagens MMS, MNNG and UV is described.

T1  - MOCA and some proposed substitutes (Cyanacure, Conacure, Polacure 740M and Ethacure 300) as two-stage skin carcinogens in HRA/Skh hairless mice
AN  - 16203931; 4277290
AB  - 4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chlororaniline) (MOCA) is a suspect human carcinogen that has wide use as an industrial compound. Occupationally, exposure may occur through inhalation and ingestion, but skin absorption is the main route by which this compound gains entry into the body. Because of the justified concern about the continued use of MOCA, a number of substitutes have been proposed, including 1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane (Cyanacure), Conacure, trimethylene glycol di-p -aminobenzoate (Polacure 740M) and 3,5-dimethylthio-2,4-toluenediamine /3,5-dimethylthio-2,6-toluenediamine (Ethacure 300). There is very little information available about these substances, but they share the property of belonging to the same class (aromatic amines) as MOCA. Furthermore, at least two (Ethacure 300 and Cyanacure) are mutagenic in Salmonella . This study was undertaken to investigate if MOCA and substitutes, Polacure 740M, Ethacure 300, Cyanacure and Conacure have the potential to cause papillomas in a two stage initiation/promotion protocol in HRA/Skh hairless mice. When a maximum dose of 100 mg of substance was applied to the dorsal skin of these mice, Ethacure 300 and Cyanacure were markedly toxic. All of the compounds had little or no effect on skin tumor initiating activity following 12-O -tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) promotion. One experiment with MOCA suggested that, at lower and less toxic dose, this substance may have promotional activity. Therefore, caution should still be exercised when using these compounds and it cannot be excluded that they may be active in other strains of mice or other laboratory animal species.

T1  - Bilingual Education Reform. 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 (San Diego, CA, February 18, 1998).
AN  - 62374717; ED436974
AB  - The purpose of this hearing was to obtain the input of California citizens on federal legislation similar to 1998's California Bilingual Education ballot initiative. Present were Representatives Frank Riggs (chair), Bobby Scott, Randy Cunningham, Bob Filner, and Brian Bilbray. Offering testimony generally in support of bilingual education, or at least the option of it, were Dr. Eugene Garcia, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at the University of California at Berkeley; and Celia Ruiz, an attorney representing four California school districts. Dr. Garcia based his support for bilingual education on the conclusions of a number of government and academic studies showing overall positive effects of bilingual education. Ms. Ruiz focused her testimony not on the merits or drawbacks of bilingual education but on a defense of the legal process that federal law has created to allow school districts to choose from a range of educational options, from English immersion to long-term bilingual education programs. Cathy Liska, a teacher from Anaheim, California, and George S. Louie, a parent of a child placed in a bilingual education setting from Oakland, California, spoke against bilingual education. Mr. Louie's child had very negative experiences. Ms. Liska's experience as an elementary school teacher with first-hand classroom experience of bilingual education has convinced her it does not serve limited-English-speaking students well and should be ended.

T1  - Efficient cloning of cDNA from grapevine leafroll-associated virus 4 and demonstration of probe specificity by the viral antibody
AN  - 16202912; 4277244
AB  - Using a random-PCR method, a cDNA clone (LR4) was constructed from the replicative form dsRNA of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 4 (GLRaV-4). Northern blot analysis showed hybridization of LR4 to dsRNA in an extract of a Thompson Seedless grapevine clone from which GLRaV-4 was isolated originally by Hu et al. (1990). The cDNA clone was sequenced and shown to be specific to GLRaV-4 by reverse-transcription-PCR using GLRaV-4 particles enriched by the virus antibody coupled to magnetic beads. Reverse-transcription-PCR was used successfully to screen different varieties of grapevines for the virus. Western blot analysis of GLRaV-4 extracts from different varieties of infected grapevines revealed two distinct species of capsid protein with estimated Mr of either 35500 or 38000 depending on the variety used. Both proteins reacted with polyclonal as well as monoclonal antibodies.

T1  - The conduction pore of a cardiac potassium channel
AN  - 787350407; 13760373
AB  - Ion channels form transmembrane water-filled pores that allow ions to cross membranes in a rapid and selective fashion. The amino acid residues that line these pores have been sought to reveal the mechanisms of ion conduction and selectivity. The pore (P) loop is a stretch of residues that influences single-channel-current amplitude, selectivity among ions and open-channel blockade,, and is conserved in potassium-channel subunits previously recognized to contribute to pore formation,. To date, potassium-channel pores have been shown to form by symmetrical alignment of four P loops around a central conduction pathway. Here we show that the selectivity-determining pore region of the voltage-gated potassium channel of human heart through which the I sub(Ks) current passes includes the transmembrane segment of the non-P-loop protein minK. Two adjacent residues in this segment of minK are exposed in the pore on either side of a short barrier that restricts the movement of sodium, cadmium and zinc ions across the membrane. Thus, potassium-selective pores are not restricted to P loops or a strict P-loop geometry.

T1  - Public School Districts in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62540021; ED416588
AB  - The publicly available statistical information on U.S. public school districts to date has been limited to certain demographic characteristics of districts, student enrollment and racial composition, and the numbers of teachers. To enlarge this fund of knowledge, information on the variety of attributes, policies, and practices of public school districts in the United States is presented here. The report draws on data from a nationally representative survey of schools, teachers, principals, and public school districts. The topics covered here include geographic and demographic characteristics, the number and racial composition of students and teachers, the number and qualification of new hires, hiring criteria, teacher demand, and district efforts to recruit and retain teachers, teacher compensation and incentives, programs and services provided by the district, district graduation requirements, and other student policies. Within each of these topic areas, school districts are compared across three demographic and two geographic characteristics in the hope that local educators and policymakers can use the information to compare the situation in their school districts with similar types of districts nationally. The report does not assume any statistical expertise on the part of its readers and graphs are used extensively in each chapter to explicate the findings. A highlight of the survey's findings are presented at the front of the report. (RJM)

AB  - Biological effects of low-level exposures (BELLE) may be very important in characterizing the potential health risks of environmental pollutants. Before some features of BELLE, such as effects that may be modulated by adaptive or defense mechanisms, can be taken into greater consideration in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency risk assessments, however adequate information on a toxicant's mode of action and answers to other questions are needed.

T1  - Nonlinearity of radiation health effects.
AN  - 21268019; 11703724
AB  - The prime concern of radiation protection policy since 1959 has been to protect DNA from damage. In 1994 the United Nations Scientific Community on the Effects of Atomic Radiation focused on biosystem response to radiation with its report Adaptive Responses to Radiation of Cells and Organisms. The 1995 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements report Principles and Application of Collective Dose in Radiation Protection states that because no human data provides direct support for the linear nonthreshold hypothesis (LNT), confidence in LNT is based on the biophysical concept that the passage of a single charged particle could cause damage to DNA that would result in cancer. Several statistically significant epidemiologic studies contradict the validity of this concept by showing risk decrements, i.e., hormesis, of cancer mortality and mortality from all causes in populations exposed to low-dose radiation. Unrepaired low-dose radiation damage to DNA is negligible compared to metabolic damage. The DNA damage-control biosystem is physiologically operative on both metabolic and radiation damage and effected predominantly by free radicals. The DNA damage-control biosystem is suppressed by high dose and stimulated by low-dose radiation. The hormetic effect of low-dose radiation may be explained by its increase of biosystem efficiency. Improved DNA damage control reduces persistent mis- or unrepaired DNA damage i.e., the number of mutations that accumulate during a lifetime. This progressive accumulation of gene mutations in stem cells is associated with decreasing DNA damage control, aging, and malignancy. Recognition of the positive health effects produced by adaptive responses to low-dose radiation would result in a realistic assessment of the environmental risk of radiation.

T1  - Hormesis as a biological hypothesis.
AN  - 21263493; 11703723
AB  - A comprehensive effort was undertaken to identify articles demonstrating chemical hormesis. Nearly 4000 potentially relevant articles were retrieved from preliminary computer database searches by using various key word descriptors and extensive cross-referencing. A priori evaluation criteria were established including study design features (e.g., number of doses, dose range), statistical analysis, and reproducibility of results. Evidence of chemical hormesis was judged to have occurred in approximately 350 of the 4000 studies evaluated. Chemical hormesis was observed in a wide range of taxonomic groups and involved agents representing highly diverse chemical classes, many of potential environmental relevance. Numerous biological end points were assessed; growth responses were the most prevalent, followed by metabolic effects, longevity, reproductive responses, and survival. Hormetic responses were generally observed to be of limited magnitude. The average low-dose maximum stimulation was approximately 50% greater than controls. The hormetic dose-response range was generally limited to about one order of magnitude, with the upper end of the hormetic curve approaching the estimated no observable effect level for the particular end point. Based on the evaluation criteria, high to moderate evidence of hormesis was observed in studies comprised of > 6 doses; with > 3 doses in the hormetic zone. The present analysis suggests that chemical hormesis is a reproducible and relatively common biological phenomenon. A quantitative scheme is presented for future application to the database.

T1  - In vitro techniques for the assessment of neurotoxicity.
AN  - 21262698; 11702142
AB  - Risk assessment is a process often divided into the following steps: a) hazard identification, b) dose-response assessment, c) exposure assessment, and d) risk characterization. Regulatory toxicity studies usually are aimed at providing data for the first two steps. Human case reports, environmental research, and in vitro studies may also be used to identify or to further characterize a toxic hazard. In this report the strengths and limitations of in vitro techniques are discussed in light of their usefulness to identify neurotoxic hazards, as well as for the subsequent dose-response assessment. Because of the complexity of the nervous system, multiple functions of individual cells, and our limited knowledge of biochemical processes involved in neurotoxicity, it is not known how well any in vitro system would recapitulate the in vivo system. Thus, it would be difficult to design an in vitro test battery to replace in vivo test systems. In vitro systems are well suited to the study of biological processes in a more isolated context and have been most successfully used to elucidate mechanisms of toxicity, identify target cells of neurotoxicity, and delineate the development and intricate cellular changes induced by neurotoxicants. Both biochemical and morphological end points can be used, but many of the end points used can be altered by pharmacological actions as well as toxicity. Therefore, for many of these end points it is difficult or impossible to set a criterion that allows one to differentiate between a pharmacological and a neurotoxic effect. For the process of risk assessment such a discrimination is central. Therefore, end points used to determine potential neurotoxicity of a compound have to be carefully selected and evaluated with respect to their potential to discriminate between an adverse neurotoxic effect and a pharmacologic effect. It is obvious that for in vitro neurotoxicity studies the primary end points that can be used are those affected through specific mechanisms of neurotoxicity. For example, in vitro systems may be useful for certain structurally defined compounds and mechanisms of toxicity, such as organophosphorus compounds and delayed neuropathy, for which target cells and the biochemical processes involved in the neurotoxicity are well known. For other compounds and the different types of neurotoxicity, a mechanism of toxicity needs to be identified first. Once identified, by either in vivo or in vitro methods, a system can be developed to detect and to evaluate predictive ability for the type of in vivo neurotoxicity produced. Therefore, in vitro tests have their greatest potential in providing information on basic mechanistic processes in order to refine specific experimental questions to be addressed in the whole animal.

T1  - The U.S. National Toxicology Program evaluation of transgenic mice as predictive models for identifying carcinogens.
AN  - 21261696; 11702147
AB  - National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences researchers have invested considerable effort in exploring the utility of transgenic mice to detect carcinogens and study mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Work has assessed several mouse models genetically altered to enhance their expression of chemically induced tumors. Results with the p53def (hemizygous for the tumor-suppressor gene) and the Tg.AC (carrier of an activated H-ras oncogene) mice have been used as a basis for a proposed new strategy for identifying chemical carcinogens and assessing risk. The U.S. National Toxicology Program is conducting a series of studies with these two transgenic strains to further examine their strengths and weaknesses for identification of documented rodent and human carcinogens and to explore their ability to provide information concerning the effective dosimetry for target organ mutation.

T1  - Stepping backward to improve assessment of PCB congener toxicities.
AN  - 21261675; 11702144
AB  - Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous global contaminants that have been intensively investigated for three decades. They are broad-acting toxicants occurring in complex mixtures and accurate risk assessment has proven to be elusive. Focusing on a limited set of end points and emphasizing a fixed set of congeners have led to more streamlined data sets that are meant to expedite hazard characterization and risk assessment for the most potent congeners--aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists. Unfortunately, this has made it impossible to confirm or deny significant contributions from the more prevalent components of the mixtures. PCBs may be only coincidentally present, rather than causal, in some diseases. Still, attempts to determine associations with incomplete residue data may lead to erroneous conclusions and make accurate risk assessment even more elusive. Responses not mediated through the AhR are presented and emphasize large data gaps. Dissimilar analytical reports emphasize that selection of analytes is not consistent. Collectively, these data confirm that AhR-focused objectives unintentionally created the impression that nonplanar PCBs have little if any potential for hazards to humans and wildlife. Near steady-state exposure of healthy adults are probably of minor consequence except for emerging correlations with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; however, pulses of exposure to more labile mixtures may contribute to developmental effects without leaving a residue record. More broadly based criteria are suggested and harmonization of data collection and presentation are desirable. A more comprehensive list of PCB congeners is proposed that would provide more adequate data upon which to base associations with adverse outcomes.

T1  - Rodent models of cardiopulmonary disease: their potential applicability in studies of air pollutant susceptibility.
AN  - 21260670; 11703720
AB  - The mechanisms by which increased mortality and morbidity occur in individuals with preexistent cardiopulmonary disease following acute episodes of air pollution are unknown. Studies involving air pollution effects on animal models of human cardiopulmonary diseases are both infrequent and difficult to interpret. Such models are, however, extensively used in studies of disease pathogenesis. Primarily they comprise those developed by genetic, pharmacologic, or surgical manipulations of the cardiopulmonary system. This review attempts a comprehensive description of rodent cardiopulmonary disease models in the context of their potential application to susceptibility studies of air pollutants regardless of whether the models have been previously used for such studies. The pulmonary disease models include bronchitis, emphysema, asthma/allergy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial fibrosis, and infection. The models of systemic hypertension and congestive heart failure include: those derived by genetics (spontaneously hypertensive, Dahl S. renin transgenic, and other rodent models); congestive heart failure models derived by surgical manipulations; viral myocarditis; and cardiomyopathy induced by adriamycin. The characteristic pathogenic features critical to understanding the susceptibility to inhaled toxicants are described. It is anticipated that this review will provide a ready reference for the selection of appropriate rodent models of cardiopulmonary diseases and identify not only their pathobiologic similarities and/or differences to humans but also their potential usefulness in susceptibility studies.

T1  - Environmental signaling: a biological context for endocrine disruption.
AN  - 21259516; 11703721
AB  - Endogenous and exogenous chemical signals have evolved as a means for organisms to respond to physical or biological stimuli in the environment. Sensitivity to these signals can make organisms vulnerable to inadvertent signals from xenobiotics. In this review we discuss how various chemicals can interact with steroid-like signaling pathways, especially estrogen. Numerous compounds have estrogenic activity, including steroids, phytoestrogens, and synthetic chemicals. We compare bioavailability, metabolism, interaction with receptors, and interaction with cell-signaling pathways among these three structurally diverse groups in order to understand how these chemicals influence physiological responses. Based on their mechanisms of action, chemical steroid mimics could plausibly be associated with recent adverse health trends in humans and animals.

T1  - Health impacts of climate change and ozone depletion: an ecoepidemiologic modeling approach.
AN  - 21259288; 11703722
AB  - Anthropogenic climate changes and stratospheric ozone depletion affect human health in various ways. Current mainstream epidemiologic research methods do not appear well adapted to analyze these health impacts, which involve complex systems influenced by human interventions or simpler processes that will take place in the future. This paper discusses a different paradigm for studying the health impacts of global environmental changes and focuses on the development of integrated ecoepidemiologic models using three examples--the effect of climate change on vector-borne diseases, the effect of climate change on thermal-related mortality, and the effects of increasing ultraviolet levels because of ozone depletion on the rates of skin cancer.

T1  - The role of oxidative stress in chemical carcinogenesis.
AN  - 21253911; 11702148
AB  - Oxidative stress results when the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overrides the antioxidant capability of the target cell; oxidative damage from the interaction of reactive oxygen with critical cellular macromolecules may occur. ROS may interact with and modify cellular protein, lipid, and DNA, which results in altered target cell function. The accumulation of oxidative damage has been implicated in both acute and chronic cell injury including possible participation in the formation of cancer. Acute oxidative injury may produce selective cell death and a compensatory increase in cell proliferation. This stimulus may result in the formation of newly initiated preneoplastic cells and/or enhance the selective clonal expansion of latent initiated preneoplastic cells. Similarly, sublethal acute oxidative injury may produce unrepaired DNA damage and result in the formation of new mutations and, potentially, new initiated cells. In contrast, sustained chronic oxidative injury may lead to a nonlethal modification of normal cellular growth control mechanisms. Cellular oxidative stress can modify intercellular communication, protein kinase activity, membrane structure and function, and gene expression, and result in modulation of cell growth. We examined the role of oxidative stress as a possible mechanism by which nongenotoxic carcinogens may function. In studies with the selective mouse liver carcinogen dieldrin, a species-specific and dose-dependent decrease in liver antioxidant concentrations with a concomitant increase in ROS formation and oxidative damage was seen. This increase in oxidative stress correlated with an increase in hepatocyte DNA synthesis. Antioxidant supplementation prevented the dieldrin-induced cellular changes. Our findings suggest that the effect of nongenotoxic carcinogens (if they function through oxidative mechanisms) may be amplified in rodents but not in primates because of rodents' greater sensitivity to ROS. These results and findings reported by others support a potential role for oxidative-induced injury in the cancer process specifically during the promotion stage. Images Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 9

T1  - Integrated defense system overlaps as a disease model: with examples for multiple chemical sensitivity.
AN  - 21250955; 11704958
AB  - The central nervous, immune, and endocrine systems communicate through multiple common messengers. Over evolutionary time, what may be termed integrated defense system(s) (IDS) have developed to coordinate these communications for specific contexts; these include the stress response, acute-phase response, nonspecific immune response, immune response to antigen, kindling, tolerance, time-dependent sensitization, neurogenic switching, and traumatic dissociation (TD). These IDSs are described and their overlap is examined. Three models of disease production are generated: damage, in which IDSs function incorrectly; inadequate/inappropriate, in which IDS response is outstripped by a changing context; and evolving/learning, in which the IDS learned response to a context is deemed pathologic. Mechanisms of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) are developed from several IDS disease models. Model 1A is pesticide damage to the central nervous system, overlapping with body chemical burdens, TD, and chronic zinc deficiency; model 1B is benzene disruption of interleukin-1, overlapping with childhood developmental windows and hapten-antigenic spreading; and model 1C is autoimmunity to immunoglobulin-G (IgG), overlapping with spreading to other IgG-inducers, sudden spreading of inciters, and food-contaminating chemicals. Model 2A is chemical and stress overload, including comparison with the susceptibility/sensitization/triggering/spreading model; model 2B is genetic mercury allergy, overlapping with: heavy metals/zinc displacement and childhood/gestational mercury exposures; and model 3 is MCS as evolution and learning. Remarks are offered on current MCS research. Problems with clinical measurement are suggested on the basis of IDS models. Large-sample patient self-report epidemiology is described as an alternative or addition to clinical biomarker and animal testing.

T1  - The effects of exposure duration and feeding status on fish bile metabolites: Implications for biomonitoring
AN  - 16526527; 4367988
AB  - Biliary metabolites of 2-chlorosyringaldehyde (2-CSA), the major chlorinated phenol found in chlorine dioxide bleached eucalypt pulp effluent, have been found to be sensitive biomarkers of effluent exposure in the sand flathead (Platycephalus bassensis). Before this method of biomonitoring can be applied in the field, the influences of exposure duration, depuration time, and fish feeding status on the level of this metabolite should be determined. In this study, sand flathead were exposed to a measured concentration of 0.3 mu g/l of 2-CSA for 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 days. Fish previously exposed to 2-CSA were then held in sea-water alone for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 days. Fish were fed ad libitum throughout the experiment, and the fullness of the fish's stomach at the time of sampling was noted. There were no effects of exposure on biotransformation enzyme activities, either between exposure times or between the exposure and depuration periods. The major metabolite of 2-CSA, 2-chloro-4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzylalcohol (2-CB-OH), was first detected in the bile of some fish sampled after 24 h of exposure, and the mean concentration of 2-CB-OH in the bile increased over the exposure period. The mean concentration ( plus or minus SE) of 2-CB-OH in the bile was strongly influenced by fish feeding status, being 94 plus or minus 18 ng/ml bile in fish with empty stomachs and undetectable in fish with full stomachs. Bile volume was also influenced by fish feeding status, being greatest in fish with empty stomachs at the time of sampling. Results indicate that the feeding status of fish should be taken into consideration when using biliary metabolites as biomarkers of effluent exposure in the field, and methods to establish this are discussed.

T1  - Effects of appendages and small currents on the hydrodynamic heave damping of TLP columns
AN  - 16525899; 4348655
AB  - A previous paper by the authors reported on the estimation of resonant heave (springing) damping of tension leg platforms (TLPs) and a method of scaling for full-scale prototypes. The present paper is a sequel to this work, and examines the effect of adding an appendage in the form of a disk to TLP columns, and the influence of a small uniform current. Model tests conducted on a cylinder + disk in heave show that the heave damping induced by the disk is linear with the amplitude of oscillation. The disk is found to increase the form drag coefficient twofold, in accordance with published results based on isolated edge theory. The effects of a small uniform current were also examined during the model tests. Results show an increase in heave damping ratio that is linear with the current velocity. In the presence of a disk, the damping induced by the current is doubled as well. Scaling laws are proposed in this paper that enable extrapolation of heave damping due to appendages and small currents to full scale. An example calculation shows that for a full-scale TLP column, the heave damping is increased by about 300 percent due to addition of the disk, and by 87 percent due to a small current. The combination of the disk and the current increases the heave damping of the column by a factor of six.

T1  - Culture of chondrocytes in alginate gel: Variations in conditions of gelation influence the structure of the alginate gel, and the arrangement and morphology of proliferating chondrocytes
AN  - 16508644; 4415078
AB  - Sodium alginate, which gels in the presence of calcium ions, is commonly used for culture of anchorage-independent cells, such as chondrocytes. Normally, the gel appears microscopically homogeneous but, depending on the conditions of gelation, it may contain a varying number of small channels that extend inward from the surface. We have examined the influence of these channels on the morphology of cultured chondrocytes entrapped in alginate beads. Growth-plate or articular chondrocytes cultured in alginate normally proliferate and form rounded cell clusters but, in alginate beads containing numerous channels, many chondrocytes become aligned and form columns similar to those in the growth plate in vivo. As the pattern of cellular growth and morphology in alginate is profoundly influenced by the presence of channels in the gel, further studies were conducted to determine what specific conditions of gelation affect their formation. The channels are especially numerous when both the alginate and the gelling solutions lack sodium ions or other monovalent cations. The channels are cavities in the gel formed by particulate blocking of the rapid diffusion of calcium ions from the gelling solution into the boundary of the calcium alginate solution, and hence they extend inward from cells at the surface of the alginate gel. An understanding of the conditions under which these channels develop makes it possible either to avoid their formation or, alternatively, to enhance the number of channels in order to encourage proliferating cells to grow in radial columns, rather than in a less organized pattern characteristic of most culture systems.

T1  - Seasonal dynamics and variation among sheep in densities of the sheep biting louse, Bovicola ovis
AN  - 16416423; 4321262
AB  - Cyclic patterns and variations among sheep in numbers of Bovicola ovis are described in Polypay and Columbia ewes that were initially infested with equal numbers of lice and penned indoors continuously for 2 years. Bovicola ovis populations were censused at 3-4-week intervals at 69 body sites on each animal. In the second year of the study, the ewes were reinfested and half were mated. Louse populations were monitored on the resulting lambs from birth until 25 weeks of age. Strong seasonal cycles in louse numbers were observed on the ewes, with peaks in spring and troughs in summer. These cycles occurred in the absence of shearing, direct solar radiation or rainfall. Populations began to decline when daily mean and maximum temperatures were 11.5 degree C and 15 degree C, respectively, well below temperatures thought to cause warm season decline. Louse densities on Polypay ewes were approximately 10 times higher than on Columbias at most inspections. There were also large differences among sheep within breeds and sheep counts were highly correlated among dates, both within and between years. One third of the ewes failed to become infested despite having lice applied on five separate occasions and being penned together with other infested sheep. Pregnancy and lactation did not significantly affect louse numbers on the ewes. There was a significant negative correlation between louse counts and weight gains in the lambs, and lamb counts were significantly correlated with those of their dams up until, but not after, weaning. It is suggested that sheep may exert regulatory influences on lice which contribute to cycles in B. ovis populations.

T1  - The effect of wildfire on runoff and erosion in native Eucalyptus forest
AN  - 16377748; 4292616
AB  - Wildfires raise concerns over the risk of accelerated erosion as a result of increased overland flow and decreased protection of the soil by litter and ground vegetation cover. We investigated these issues following the 1994 fires that burnt large areas of native Eucalyptus forest surrounding Sydney, Australia. A review of previous studies identifies the fire and rainfall conditions that are likely to lead to increased runoff and accelerated erosion. We then compare runoff and erosion between burnt and unburnt sites for 10 months after the 1994 fires. At the scale of hillslope plots, the 1994 fire increased runoff by enhancing soil hydrophobicity, and greatly increased sediment transport, mainly through the reduced ground cover, which lowered substantially the threshold for initial sediment movement. However, both runoff and sediment transport were very localized, resulting in little runoff or sediment yield after the fire at the hillslope catchment scale. We identify that after moderately intense fires, rainfall events of greater than one year recurrence interval are required to generate substantial runoff and sediment yield. Such events did not occur during the monitoring period. Past work shows that mild burns have little effect on erosion, and it is only after the most extreme fires that erosion is produced from small, frequent storms.

T1  - Involvement of bradykinin generation in intravascular dissemination of Vibrio vulnificus and prevention of invasion by a bradykinin antagonist
AN  - 16373342; 4270390
AB  - Involvement of bradykinin generation in bacterial invasion was examined by using a gram-negative bacillus, Vibrio vulnificus, which is known to invade the blood circulatory system and cause septicemia. V. vulnificus was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) into mice with or without bradykinin or a bradykinin (B2 receptor) antagonist. Dissemination of V. vulnificus from peritoneal septic foci to the circulating blood was assessed by counting of viable bacteria in venous blood by use of the colony-forming assay. Intravascular dissemination of V. vulnificus in mice was significantly potentiated by simultaneous injection with bradykinin but was markedly reduced by coadministration with the B2 antagonist D-Arg,[Hyp super(3), Thi super(5,8),D-Phe super(7)]-bradykinin. Furthermore, V. vulnificus lethality was significantly increased when bradykinin was administered simultaneously with the bacillus, whereas it was definitely suppressed by treatment with D-Arg,[Hyp super(3), Thi super(5,8), D-Phe super(7)]-bradykinin. Similarly, ovomacroglobulin, a potent inhibitor of the V. vulnificus protease, showed a strong suppressive effect on the V. vulnificus septicemia. We also confirmed appreciable bradykinin production in the primary septic loci in the mouse peritoneal cavity after i.p. inoculation with V. vulnificus. It is thus concluded that bradykinin generation in infectious loci is critically involved in facilitation of intravascular dissemination of V. vulnificus.

T1  - Enzyme immunoassay for atrazine analysis in water and soil
AN  - 16355161; 4314510
AB  - Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has been tested for the detection of atrazine in soil and water. EIA kits and atrazine-fortified samples were received from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Atrazine concentrations of about 0.01 mu g litre super(-1) could be detected and the central detection point was found at about 0.15 mu g litre super(-1) which is a reasonably sensitive region for atrazine. A validation study with spiked local water samples yielded acceptable results. No treatment was required for water samples. Extraction of atrazine from soil was done by simple shaking with methanol without any clean-up steps. Detection limits of 1 x 10 super(-2) mu g litre super(-1) for water and 5 x 10 super(-3) mu g kg super(-1) for soil were achieved.

T1  - Effects of Ozone and Other Pollutants on the Pulmonary Function of Adult Hikers
AN  - 14481472; 10549489
AB  - The acute effects of ambient ozone and concomitant fine particulate matter and aerosol acidity exposures on pulmonary function were studied in a diverse population of healthy adults hiking on Mount Washington in the White Mountain National Forest, NH. The subjects were solicited from adults beginning a day hike on the mountain on 78 d during the summers of 1991 and 1992. Spirometry measurements, environmental exposure measurements, and diaries were used. Results showed a 2.6% decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV sub(1)) and a 2.2% decline in forced vital capacity for each 50 ppb increment in hikers' mean O sub(3) exposure. Adjustment for particulate matter and strong aerosol acidity concentrations did not change the observed inverse relationship between changes in FEV sub(1) and mean O sub(3) exposures, but the association was then no longer significant. The overall findings showed serious effects of mean O sub(3), particulate matter, and strong aerosol acidity on pulmonary function in this study population.

T1  - Risk Assessment for the Harmful Effects of UVB Radiation on the Immunological Resistance to Infectious Diseases
AN  - 14481447; 10549486
AB  - Results are presented from a risk assessment of the effects of UVB radiation exposure in terms of the immune system and related resistance to infections as compared to humans not exposed to increased UVB radiation levels due to ozone depletion. The methodology involved doseresponse assessment using data from studies involving rodents and humans, and exposure assessment in which exposure to UVB radiation was divided into five categories: exposure to sunlight, exposure by illumination, exposure for cosmetic reasons, exposure for therapy, and exposure in the workplace. Results showed that exposure to UVB radiation at doses relevant to outdoor exposure may affect the specific cellular immune response to Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in humans.

T1  - Models of Interaction Between Metabolic Genes and Environmental Exposure in Cancer Susceptibility
AN  - 14481438; 10549485
AB  - When the dose of environmental exposure is analyzed with respect to genotype of a metabolic susceptibility gene, two apparent divergent patterns can be found: low-exposuregene effect, which is seen when a decreasing degree of interaction occurs as a function of exposure; and high-exposuregene effect, which occurs when there is an increased degree of interaction as a function of exposure dose. A method, involving a multiple regression model, is presented for identifying these two patterns, which is illustrated using data from a hypothetical case-control study of a metabolic gene polymorphism showing type-2 geneenvironment interaction.

T1  - Do Large-Scale Remedial and Dredging Events Have the Potential to Release Significant Amounts of Semivolatile Compounds to the Atmosphere?
AN  - 14481409; 10549482
AB  - The volatile loss of PCBs from wet, biodegraded sediment is reviewed, based on laboratory and field studies, and the implications for the release of PCBs when handling contaminated media are assessed. The data show that alteration of these contaminated sediments by microbial processes results in dechlorination and the production of more-mobile and bioavailable daughter products. Lower-chlorinated PCBs appear to be especially susceptible to volatile loss during co-evaporation with water. Therefore, large-scale dredging, remedial, or land-farming operations have the potential to release semivolatile compounds to the atmosphere. It is argued that volatility of semivolatile compounds should be considered in decisions regarding possible remedial intervention.

T1  - Effect of Interventions on Children's Blood Lead Levels
AN  - 14480939; 10549487
AB  - As a result of the long-term operation of an active lead and zinc smelter in Trail, BC, Canada, elevated blood lead levels were found consistently in children. A comprehensive childhood Pb exposure prevention program was initiated in 1991. Using data obtained over the period 199196, the impact of the interventions on blood Pb levels was examined. The interventions included case management, public education, and community dust abatement. Analysis of the data showed no increase in the rate of decline in blood Pb levels in Trail children as a result of the interventions. The constant and gradual decline in blood Pb levels in the children from 1989 through 1996 parallels roughly a general worldwide drop in blood Pb levels observed for the period 197694.

T1  - Birth Weight and Sex of Children and the Correlation to the Body Burden of PCDDs/PCDFs and PCBs of the Mother
AN  - 14480910; 10549484
AB  - In two areas of Finland, birth weight and sex of children were correlated to PCDD/PCDF and PCB concentrations in the breast milk of respective mothers. In addition, the personal and environmental determinants that correlated with the observed contaminant levels in breast milk were assessed. Results showed that the mean weights of children increased with the numbers of children, and the toxic equivalent values decreased. No correlations were found between the weight of the newborn and the dioxin concentrations of primiparae mothers. The most important factors affecting PCDD and PCDF concentrations in breast milk were the frequency of fish consumption and the age of the mother.

T1  - Assessment of Water Use for Estimating Exposure to Tap Water Contaminants
AN  - 14479274; 10549483
AB  - Using interviews and water diaries, the exposure of pregnant women and their male partners to tap water through showering, bathing, and swimming was examined. The participants also provided information about daily water consumption and weekly consumption of cold water-based beverages that had been prepared in the home. Results showed that the participants consumed, on average, close to the NAS standard assumed intake of 2 l/d, but less than 20% was cold tap water at home. A significant amount of tap water was consumed either at work, a restaurant, or at a friend's or relative's house. Women employed part-time or less consumed the most tap water overall, but total consumption levels among sex and employment groups did not vary significantly. Women took more baths than men, and baths lasted, on average, twice as long as showers.

T1  - Northern Exposure
AN  - 14479256; 10549481
AB  - Data are presented from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme in a discussion of the increasing contamination levels in the Arctic environment. Contaminant pathways are identified, as well as the main contaminants of concern, which include PCBs, mercury, and cadmium. Acid rain is also a problem, as are global warming and ozone depletion, especially as they impact the food supplies of the indigenous peoples. Because the widespread pollution in the Arctic will be difficult and perhaps impossible to clean up, the only real solution lies in a global emphasis on prevention.

T1  - Molecular Basis of the Inhibition of Human Aromatase (Estrogen Synthetase) by Flavone and Isoflavone Phytoestrogens: a Site-Directed Mutagenesis Study
AN  - 14479237; 10549488
AB  - The inhibition profiles of eight phytoestrogens were determined on the wild-type aromatase and six human aromatase mutants. The compounds analyzed included four flavones, two isoflavones, one flavanone, and one naphthoflavone. Computer modeling was used to examine the binding characteristic and the structure requirement for flavone and isoflavone phytoestrogens to inhibit human aromatase. All of the compounds were found to bind to the active site of aromatase, but isoflavones were found to be poorer inhibitors of aromatase than flavones.

T1  - Prohibition on Federally Sponsored National Testing. Report Together with Supplemental and Minority Views To Accompany H.R. 2846. House of Representatives, 105th Congress, 2d Session.
AN  - 62441921; ED423293
AB  - H.R. 2846, a bill to prohibit spending Federal education funds on national testing without explicit and specific legislation was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Committee, having reviewed the bill, reports favorably on it in this document, proposes some amendments, and recommends that the bill as amended should pass. As introduced, H.R. 2846 amends the General Education Provisions Act and the Fund for Improvement of Education to prohibit Federal funds from being used to develop, plan, or implement (including pilot testing or field testing), or administer any national tests in reading, mathematics, or any other subject unless the test is specifically and explicitly provided for by law. An exception is provided for the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Because the National Assessment of Educational Progress is specifically and explicitly authorized in the National Education Statistics Act of 1994 it would be unaffected by the legislation. The Committee amends H.R. 2846 to add six findings: (1) that high state and local standards in core academic subjects are essential to elementary and secondary education; (2) state and local control is the hallmark of U.S. education; (3) each of the states already uses numerous tests to measure achievement, and these are based primarily on state and local standards; (4) Public Law 105-78 does require the National Academy of Sciences to study the feasibility of an equivalency scale that would allow comparison of existing tests, and this permits limited test development activity in fourth grade reading and eighth grade mathematics in fiscal year 1998; (5) there is no specific or explicit authority in current Federal law for the proposed federally sponsored national tests in fourth grade reading and eighth grade mathematics; and (6) decisions about national testing will be made through the normal legislative process. Majority and minority Committee member views and supporting information accompanies the report. (SLD)

T1  - TRIGEMINAL CHEMORECEPTION
AN  - 85279811; cs-269769
AB  - The long-term goal of this project is to provide an integrated psychophysical description of the human ability to sense chemical irritants via she trigeminal nerve. Guided by the view that the sensitivity to irritants derives from elements of the nociceptive and thermal senses present in all types of skin, the proposed research will investigate the extent to which this common neural basis influences chemosensory perception throughout the trigeminal system. This objective will be pursued by (1) measuring the sensitivity to irritants across the full diversity of trigeminal regions--the oral cavity, nasal cavity, face and eyes--on a large number of subjects, and inferring from those data the-contributions of local and systemic factors to individual differences; (2) measuring individual differences in sensitization and desensitization produced by two different irritants on two kinds of skin, thus determining whether these phenomena vary locally or systemically; (3) providing the first quantitative investigation of long-term capsaicin desensitization in the trigeminal region and determining if menthol, which was recently found to produce short-term desensitization, has similar long-term hyperalgesic effects; and (4) investigating the role of counterirritation, a form of masking intrinsic to the nociceptive system, on the perception of multiple and/or spatially complex irritant stimuli within the trigeminal field. As well as providing new information about trigeminal chemoreception and the extent to which it may be influenced by systemic (nociceptive) factors, the proposed research will employ a battery of new psychophysical procedures that could prove useful for assessing the incidence, and nature of apparent hypersensitivity syndromes such as contact dermatitis and multiple chemical sensitivities. In addition, studies of long-term desensitization and counterirritation will provide basic information about how these two phenomena may impact on applied issues ranging from the perception and liking of hot and spicy foods to the use of chemical irritants as topical analgesics.

T1  - NSAIDs and blood pressure. Clinical importance for older patients.
AN  - 79683936; 9467684
AB  - The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antihypertensive medication increases with age to 26% and > 50%, respectively, among the elderly. Overall, 12 to 15% of elderly individuals take at least 1 NSAID and an antihypertensive medication concurrently. A large case-control study of older individuals demonstrated that recent users of NSAIDs had a 1.7-fold increase in risk of initiating antihypertensive therapy compared with non-users. A community-based epidemiological study revealed that NSAID use significantly predicted the presence of hypertension (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 1.1 to 1.7) in the elderly. Furthermore, among those taking antihypertensive agents in the 65+ Rural Health Study, in Iowa, US, individuals also taking NSAIDs had a mean systolic blood pressure (BP) 4.9 mm Hg higher than non-users of NSAIDs. The hypertensive effect of NSAIDs varies depending on the specific NSAID used and the type of antihypertensive agent, if they are taken concurrently. While the results of randomised, controlled trials in the elderly have been conflicting, 2 meta-analyses involving younger adults have revealed that NSAID use produces a clinically significant increment in mean BP of 5.0 mm Hg, which is most marked in patients with controlled hypertension. Stratification by NSAID type has revealed that piroxicam and indomethacin had the greatest, and sulindac the least, pressor effect. While the mechanisms) of the pressor effect remain speculative, salt and water retention, caused by several factors operating in parallel, coupled with an increased total peripheral vascular resistance via increased renal endothelin-1 synthesis, are potentially important. A 5 to 6 mm Hg increase in diastolic BP maintained over a few years may be associated with a 67% increase in total stroke occurrence and a 15% increase in events associated with coronary heart disease. Clinicians should strive to avoid excessive use of NSAID treatment and consider alternative, well-tolerated therapeutic options, including simple analgesics and physical therapy. For patients who require concomitant NSAID and antihypertensive treatment, clinicians should be aware of the greater hypertensive effect of indomethacin and piroxicam compared with alternative NSAIDs, and the potential for relatively greater antagonism by NSAIDs of the BP-lowering effect of beta-blockers compared with other antihypertensives. Finally, the progress of each patient should be monitored by careful BP measurement particularly during the initiation of NSAID therapy.

T1  - Laboratory simulation of splashes and spills of organophosphate insecticides on chemically protective gloves used in agriculture.
AN  - 69095953; 9860818
AB  - Agricultural workers rely on chemically protective gloves for protection from dermal exposure to insecticides. In Australia the most widely used gloves are manufactured from polyvinyl chloride or nitrile butadiene rubber. During insecticide application splashes and spills frequently occur on the external surfaces of gloves which may compromise the integrity of the membrane. Interaction of two organophosphate insecticides, chlorpyrifos (Lorsban 500 EC(R)) and diazinon (Jetdip(R)), with glove surfaces was investigated in laboratory conditions. The external surface of gloves was treated with concentrated insecticides for one minute and diluted and concentrated insecticides for 24, 36 and 48 hours and later examined by environmental scanning electron microscopy. Two classes of defects, cavities and convexities, were evident in the polyvinyl chloride gloves following all treatments, whereas cracking was significant in the nitrile butadiene rubber gloves after 24 hours. In addition, X-ray energy-dispersive microanalysis was used to evaluate chemical changes on the glove surfaces. Phosphorus and sulfur were useful indicators for organophosphate retention over specific time frames. Results corroborated the need for more robust chemically protective gloves to be developed for routine agricultural use.

T1  - Parent Involvement in Children's Education: Efforts by Public Elementary Schools. National Center for Education Statistics Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62547529; ED416027
AB  - In response to the National Education Goals panel's recognition of the role that parents can have in children's learning and school performance, the "Survey on Family and School Partnerships in Public Schools K-8" was conducted to determine the ways schools are engaging parents in their children's education and the extent to which parents are responding to those involvement opportunities. Questionnaires were sent to a nationally representative sample of 900 public schools enrolling kindergarten through eigth grade students. The survey looked at the kinds of school-home communication schools establish, kinds of activities schools sponsor, kinds of volunteer activities schools make available, the extent to which parents are included in school decision making, and other factors that influence school efforts to increase parent involvement. Among the findings highlighted are the following: (1) most schools initiated communications with parents to inform them about school curricula and student performance; (2) most schools provided parents with information designed to promote learning at home and on topics related to child-rearing issues; (3) the majority of schools held various activities, such as parent conferences and academic exhibitions, intended to encourage parent involvement; (5) parents were more likely to attend events that featured some interaction with the students' teachers; (6) parent attendance at school-sponsored events varied by geographic region, poverty concentration, and minority enrollment; (7) in general, schools do not include parents in very much school decision making; (8) the majority of schools provided parents opportunities to volunteer both inside and outside the classroom, to assist in fundraising and attend PTA meetings, though the percentage of schools satisfied with the degree of parent participation in these activities decreased as minority and poor student enrollment increased; and (9) lack of time on the part of parents was most often named as the greatest barrier impeding parent involvement. (Three appendices include survey methodology and data reliability and the survey form.) (HTH)

T1  - Creative Partnerships for Prevention. Using the Arts and Humanities to Build Resiliency in Youth. A Drug and Violence Prevention Resource for Schools, Cultural Organizations, and Others Working with Youth.
AN  - 62547409; ED421449
AB  - Providing information on the important role that the arts and humanities can play in prevention efforts, this document offers several activities that draw upon the arts and humanities to increase young people's resiliency. Resiliency refers to children's ability to successfully adapt and develop in healthy ways, despite exposure to risk and adversity. Building resiliency is not something that adults do to or for youth. Rather, it is the process of providing a caring environment, creating opportunities for young people to contribute to their communities, offering positive alternatives for free time, and helping young people make a successful and healthy transition into adulthood. The arts and humanities activities provided in this guide are designed to provide readers with ideas for creating their own innovative learning and skill-building activities that strengthen students' protective factors and help reduce the likelihood that they will become involved with drugs or alcohol. These activities are for teachers, youth-workers, parents, artists and others who interact with young people both in school and during the non-school hours over an extended period of time. Specifically, the activities incorporate creative activities (murals, journal writing, film and video projects, storytelling, dramatic presentations, dances, and recitals) with other efforts involving school community programs. The book includes guidelines for developing creative school community partnerships, as well as general information on the positive effects of creative activities on child and adolescent development.

T1  - Prospects for Reform: The State of American Education and the Federal Role. An Interim Report of the Senate Budget Committee Task Force on Education.
AN  - 62543144; ED419297
AB  - An overview of U.S. academic achievement and the role of the federal government is offered in this report. It looks at scores on national tests, such as the SAT, and finds that although some improvements in math scores are evident, overall, students still score below scores from the 1970s. Furthermore, it is claimed that American students' math knowledge lags behind that of students in other countries. Such conditions raise the question whether schools are receiving adequate federal funding, and it is argued here that they are. Many schools, especially urban schools, are portrayed as being in crisis. Current federal establishments in education do not meet the needs, it is argued, in part because of program overlap and because of the sheer number of employees required to administer federal funds. An assessment of the federal effort shows that the effectiveness of federal programs is typically unknown. This lack of evaluative accountability is blamed on a shortage of results-oriented programs and an "instinctive caution." Research on federal programs has likewise failed to produce accountability. The report claims that real educational change will come through the states and districts and that these administrative bodies be given more latitude in school operations. (RJM)

Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session (September 4, 1997).
AN  - 62541923; ED418703
AB  - This Congressional hearing transcript presents testimony on how to best combat the risk of copyright infringement facing content providers on the Internet. The Internet enables users to reproduce perfectly and distribute globally copies of the digital works that represent some of the most valuable products of American creativity. While some of these digital transmissions are legal, many others are not. The challenge is to balance copyright protection to encourage and reward creativity, while promoting accessibility to information. These hearings address the concerns raised by online service providers regarding their potential liability for copyright infringement whey they are involved in making available copyrighted material. Testimony is presented by: Fritz E. Attaway (Motion Picture Association of America); Cary H. Sherman (Recording Industry Association of America); Daniel Burton (Novell, on behalf of the Business Software Alliance and the Software Publishers Association); George Vradenburg, III (American Online, Inc., on behalf of the Ad Hoc Copyright Coalition); Roy Neel (United States Telephone Association); and Robert L. Oakley (Georgetown University Law Center, on behalf of the American Association of Law Libraries). The appendix includes the text of the proposed legislation, and responses of witnesses Attaway, Sherman, Burton, Vradenburg, and Oakley to questions from Senators. A prepared statement on behalf of the Graphic Artists Guild by Daniel Abraham is provided as an additional submission for the record. (SWC)

T1  - A Talented, Dedicated, and Well-Prepared Teacher in Every Classroom. U.S. Department of Education Initiative on Teaching Information Kit.
AN  - 62541041; ED418088
AB  - This information kit discusses the need to have trained, qualified, dedicated teachers in all U.S. classrooms. Section 1 discusses the background of efforts to raise standards in U.S. education and examines the role teachers play. Section 2 describes the current state of the U.S. teaching force, noting that many teachers are underqualified, that the teaching force does not reflect student diversity, and that the nation does not invest adequately in its teachers. Section 3 examines the coming crisis in who will teach the children, explaining that over the next 10 years, the nation will face a tremendous demand for additional teachers; teachers will have to know and do more than ever before in these changing times; and shortages of qualified teachers will affect U.S. communities unevenly. Section 4 examines what is already being done to address issues of teacher quality and presents six objectives for making a difference in teacher quality nationwide. Section 5 explains where the United States must go from here, posing questions that communities, teachers, teacher educators, and professional development planners must ask themselves in order to prepare for the future. The information kit also includes a set of chart masters for making overheads to go with the information provided in the five sections. (SM)

AN  - 62535741; ED419638
AB  - A House subcommittee hearing held in DeKalb, Illinois, received testimony on drug abuse problems among young people in small towns and rural areas. Personal experiences of drugs and their effects on young people were described in statements from the mother of a victim of drug-related violence, a former drug dealer, a former drug user and gang member, and a teenager who had never used drugs. Representatives of substance abuse prevention programs, law enforcement, and criminal justice agencies discussed federal, state, and community responsibilities regarding drug abuse prevention; the need to change societal norms related to drugs, alcohol, and violence; goals and activities of the DeKalb County Partnership for a Substance Abuse Free Environment; the increased potency of drugs in the past decade; efforts to deter the international drug trade; prevention strategies in DeKalb schools; health promotion strategies related to substance abuse prevention at colleges; drug use in rural DeKalb County and its relationship to crime; the need to disseminate successful prevention strategies; the effectiveness of community-wide cooperation; and the importance of parents acting as positive role models. A local citizen cited the many failures of the 40-year "war on drugs" and suggested some potential benefits of legalization. (SV)

T1  - Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, 1995 [CD-ROM].
AN  - 62531350; ED420666
AB  - The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of surveys designed to collect data from primary providers (institutions) of postsecondary education. It is the core postsecondary education data collection program of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and has been designed to help NCES report full and complete statistics on the condition of postsecondary education in the United States. It is a single, comprehensive data collection system that encompasses all institutions and organizations that provide postsecondary education as their primary goal. It collects data in such areas as enrollment, program completions, faulty and staff, and financing. This disc, sixth in a series of IPEDS discs, contains one analysis file that includes variables extracted from the five IPEDS survey types covering the academic years 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, and 1995-96. Data are combined into a single file with each record on the file representing a single institution. The analysis file contains the variables (nearly 1,500) considered to be the most useful to the user community. This CD-ROM also contains an ASCII file version of the analysis data for 1995-96, as well as the individual data files and documentation for the current collection year of the following IPEDS surveys: (1) Institutional Characteristics (1995-96); (2) Fall Enrollment (1995-96); (3) Completions (1994-95); (4) Finance (1994-95); and (5) Salaries and Tenure (1995-96). The "IPEDS Manual for Users" is located in the IPEDINFO directory of this disc, and the documentation for each specific file is in the respective subdirectory. An installation guide is included with the CD-ROM. TYPE OF SURVEY: National Survey; Census. POPULATION: Higher Education Institutions. SAMPLE: Higher Education Institutions. RESPONDENTS: Higher Education Institutions. FREQUENCY: Annual. YEAR OF EARLIEST DATA: 1991. YEAR OF LATEST DATA: 1996. (SLD)

T1  - Federal Subsidies of Advanced Telecommunications for Schools, Libraries, and Health Care Providers. CBO Papers.
AN  - 62525538; ED415849
AB  - The Telecommunications Act of 1996 directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to include support for advanced telecommunications--such as the Internet and computer networking--for elementary and secondary schools, public libraries, and nonprofit rural health care providers among the Universal Service Fund (USF) mandates. In its plan, the FCC created a system of sliding-scale subsidies for schools and libraries that would average 60% of eligible expenses. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Paper presents the CBO's baseline estimates for federal outlays and revenues under the FCC's May 1997 plan to provide those federal subsidies. CBO estimates that outlays would rise from about $0.6 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $1.2 billion in 1999. After that, outlays are expected to increase by a little more than $0.1 billion per year, reaching $2.4 billion in 2008. CBO assumes that revenues necessary to fund those expenditures will be collected as required and that the USF will be deficit neutral on a fiscal year basis. The paper includes the basis for CBO's estimates of outlays and revenues. In keeping with the CBO's mission to provide impartial information, the paper contains no recommendations. (SWC)

T1  - Library Resources for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. A Directory with FY 1997 Statistics on Readership, Circulation, Budget, Staff, and Collections.
AN  - 62465288; ED425756
AB  - This document lists resources for the blind and physically handicapped in National Library Service (NLS) network libraries and machine-lending agencies, arranged alphabetically by state. Within each state, the regional library appears first, followed by subregional libraries (in any) listed alphabetically by city. In several states, two regional libraries have been established; in these instances, the specific service area of each library is shown. County service areas are also listed for subregional libraries, but for libraries that serve 18 or more counties, the outlying or border counties are listed while those in the center of the service area are not. Regional libraries that also function as machine-lending agencies are identified by an asterisk. Separate machine-lending agencies (if any) are listed as the final entry for a state. Regional libraries designated as braille-lending libraries are identified by a number symbol. For libraries not designated as braille-lending libraries, braille collections are listed under the special collections category. Other library resources at the national level are arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. Each entry indicates eligibility requirements, special media available, subject coverage, and lending policies. Appendices contain tables of statistics on readership and circulation and budget, staff, and collections for Fiscal Year 1997. (AEF)

T1  - Urban Education: Approaches That Work. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Empowerment of the Committee on Small Business. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session (March 26, 1998).
AN  - 62456794; ED424324
AB  - A hearing was held before the Subcommittee on Empowerment of the House Committee on Small Business to build a record of a lot of things that are working in urban education in high risk zones. In his opening remarks, Representative Souder (Indiana) noted that there is no question but that the best way to combat unemployment and the problems that flow from it is to provide people with the best possible training. For most of the work force, training begins in school. Strengthening basic skills is not exclusively an urban problem, but it is one that is of particular concern in the cities. The purpose of this hearing was not why so many schools are failing, but why some succeed. Five educators who run successful urban schools appeared at the hearing to explain why their schools work. Thaddeus S. Lott, Sr., principal of a charter school district in Houston (Texas), described the experiences of a successful elementary school that used an intensive reading program beginning in kindergarten and direct instruction to raise academic achievement. Vera White, principal of a junior high school in the District of Columbia, achieved academic success with a program that focused on student learning and high expectations and that was supported in a partnership with COMSAT. Comments by hearing participants follow these statements. In the second panel discussion of the hearing, Oscar J. Underwood, headmaster of a Christian college preparatory school (Indiana), spoke about the importance of the educational environment and teacher attitudes. Leah White, administrator of an urban Christian school (Maryland), noted the importance of promoting parent participation and the importance of an atmosphere focused on learning. William Elliott, headmaster of a Christian academy in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), emphasized the importance of good relationships between teachers and students and the importance of accountability and high standards. Comments from panelists completed the hearing. An appendix contains the prepared statements of the panelists and a letter from Governor George Bush (Texas) about Dr. Lott's Houston school. (SLD)

T1  - Transitions: Parents Are Key. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62444398; ED424021
AB  - Intended to enable parents to support and advocate for their children during transitions, this guide contains training activities and hands-on action tools to help parents and staff work in partnership as children transition into and out of Early Head Start, Head Start, child care settings, and elementary schools. The guide is divided into three sections. The first section, "Users Guide," provides an introduction to the guide, including its purpose, expected outcomes, audience, performance standards, and organization. This section also provides an orientation session to explore the action tools in the guide as a resource for expanding their individual and program efforts to involve parents in transition activities. The second section, "Program and Parent Action Tools," includes nine action tools to help parents and staff understand transition, the key role parents play, and ways to implement the performance standards. These nine action tools are organized into three broad skill categories that enable parents to: (1) support each child; (2) build partnerships; and (3) strengthen advocacy skills. The third and final section of the guide addresses continuing professional development and guides staff and parents in expanding their skills by networking, joining organizations, and further researching the issue of parent involvement in transition.

T1  - Building on Success. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62444357; ED424023
AB  - Noting the increasing need for Head Start's efforts to support parents' personal and professional success, this guide for Head Start staff examines the success process at both the individual and the program level, and explores strategies that strengthen the larger community's support for families as they define and build upon success. Following an introductory section, the guide presents three training modules. Each module details expected outcomes, key concepts, background information, learning activities, and next steps. Handouts are included for each module. Module One, "Focusing on Success," provides skill-building in such areas as defining success for oneself, setting priorities, and moving toward goals. Module Two, "Working the Head Start Success Ladder," guides participants in an examination of what Head Start can do to assist individuals as they establish and pursue goals, in particular goals related to economic well-being. Module Three, "Building Success in the Community," expands the focus to the world beyond Head Start by examining the role Head Start plays in fostering a community where all members can achieve their personal visions of success. The final sections of the guide contain information on continuing professional development, and publication and organization resources. Three appendices describe Project Match and Economic Independence; a community framework for Head Start; and elements of federal welfare reform. (SD)

T1  - National Education Testing. Hearing before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations. Special Hearing. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session (September 4, 1997).
AN  - 62441606; ED425186
AB  - A hearing was held to consider the issues involved in funding the administration's proposals for certain educational testing. After opening remarks by Senators Kennedy (Massachusetts) , Specter (Pennsylvania), and Harkin (Iowa), the Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley, spoke about the proposed tests. The Clinton Administration and Secretary Riley believe that a rigorous voluntary national testing system in fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade mathematics would determine how well students are achieving in basic skills. The proposed tests are an extension of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and would use the NAEP framework to hold students to high standards. Secretary Riley emphasized that these tests are voluntary and not designed to be part of a move toward a national curriculum. Senator Specter raised the question of delaying establishing the tests until a better national consensus is reached, and Senator Kennedy also commented favorably on the testing proposal. Senator Faircloth (North Carolina) questioned the usefulness of a voluntary test, and Senator Gregg (New Hampshire) questioned the participation of the Department of Education in the creation of the tests. Additional remarks were made by Senator Jeffords and Representative Goodling (Chairman of the Committee on Education of the House of Representatives), who opposes the voluntary national test. (SLD)

T1  - Translating the IEP into Everyday Practice. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62437396; ED424022
AB  - Noting that Head Start has become the largest community-based preschool program providing services to children with disabilities, this guide is intended to build the skills of Head Start staff in effectively using the Individualized Education Program (IEP) to accommodate children with disabilities. Following an introductory section, the guide presents three training modules. Each module details expected outcomes, key concepts, background information, learning activities, and next steps. Handouts are included for each module. Module One, "Laying the Groundwork," provides information to help identify characteristics of the IEP and IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan), including purpose, benefits, and stages in the development process. Module Two, "What Do I Do Now? Understanding and Implementing the IEP," assists in formulating strategies for translating IEP goals and objectives into classroom activities that reflect developmentally appropriate practice and developing a systematic approach for monitoring ongoing process. Module Three, "Working Together," identifies methods for encouraging collaboration and communication between families, Head Start staff, and related service providers. The final sections of the guide provide strategies supervisors can use to help staff apply new skills and extend their learning, and resource lists of print and audiovisual materials. (SD)

T1  - Trade Unions and Adult Guidance: Case Studies of Best Practice.
AN  - 62437037; ED422527
AB  - Best practices in trade union-sponsored adult guidance programs were identified through five case studies in the United Kingdom and one in Denmark. The case studies from the United Kingdom focused on the following: a partnership between local trade unions and a city center education guidance service supported by a local college of further and higher education, city council, and local training and enterprise council; a national initiative aimed at employees who would otherwise be unlikely to receive training at work, left school at the earliest opportunity, and have few prospects for advancement; a partnership between a university and a local training partnership to provide careers guidance to union members faced with layoffs; a union-management partnership to promote employee"ownership" of learning and ensure that employees develop the skills needed to obtain employment in the event of layoffs; and a trade union-management partnership to help workers achieve National Targets for Education and Training and increase industry understanding and use of National Vocational Qualifications. The Danish case study chronicled union participation in determining the content and methodology of a state-funded training scheme allowing employees with few qualifications to have access to individually tailored adult education and vocational training programs lasting 4-36 weeks.

T1  - Well-Child Health Care: Making It Happen. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62379951; ED435468
AB  - Noting that by assuring well-child health care, screening, assessment, and follow-up for every child, Head Start can make a significant difference in children's lives, this training guide is intended to provide support to enhance the quality of Head Start well-child health care. The three training modules of the guide are organized to provide learning opportunities in workshops or smaller sessions. Each module contains: (1) outcomes; (2) key concepts; (3) background information; (4) questions for discussion and reflection; (5) learning activities; (6) points to consider; (7) next step ideas to extend practice; and (8) handouts. Module one, "What Is Well-Child Health Care and Why Is It Important?" addresses the importance of well-child health care and linking a family to a medical home. Module two, "Partnerships in Ongoing Well-Child Health Care," addresses the importance of supporting parents as health care consumers by accessing the available services in their communities. Module three, "Advocacy, Action, and Access," addresses the importance of reaching out into the community for collaborations that could improve delivery of services to children and families, and advocating for change where services are missing. The guide concludes with sections on continuing professional development for Head Start staff and additional resources.

T1  - Adult Literacy in OECD Countries: Technical Report on the First International Adult Literacy Survey.
AN  - 62307438; ED445117
AB  - In December 1995, the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and Statistics Canada jointly published the results of the first International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). For this survey, representative samples of adults aged 16 to 65 were interviewed and tested in their homes in Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. This report describes how the survey was conducted in each country and presents all available evidence on the extent of bias in each country's data. Potential sources of bias, including sampling error, non-sampling error, and the cultural appropriateness and construct validity of the assessment instruments, are discussed. The chapters are; (1) "Introduction" (Irwin S. Kirsch and T. Scott Murray); (2) "Sample Design" (Nancy Darcovich); (3) "Survey Response and Weighting" (Nancy Darcovich); (4) "Non-Response Bias" (Nancy Darcovich, Marilyn Binkley, Jon Cohen, Mats Myrberg, and Stefan Persson); (5) "Data Collection and Processing" (Nancy Darcovich and T. Scott Murray); (6) "Incentives and the Motivation To Perform Well" (Stan Jones); (7) "The Measurement of Adult Literacy" (Irwin S. Kirsch, Ann Jungeblut, and Peter B. Mosenthal); (8) "Validity Generalization of the Assessment across Countries" (Don Rock); (9) "An Analysis of Items with Different Parameters across Countries" (Marilyn R. Binkley and Jean R. Pignal); (10) "Scaling and Scale Linking" (Kentaro Yamamoto); (11) "Proficiency Estimation" (Kentaro Yamamoto and Irwin S. Kirsch); (12) "Plausibility of Proficiency Estimates" (Richard Shillington); and (13) "Nested-Factor Models for the Swedish IALS Data" (Bo Palaszewski). Fourteen appendixes contain supplemental information, some survey questionnaires, and additional documentation for various chapters. (Contains 94 tables, 12 figures, and 74 references.) (SLD)

T1  - Tobacco Use among U.S. Racial/Ethnic Minority Groups--African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics: A Report of the Surgeon General. Executive Summary.
AN  - 62233559; ED456392
AB  - Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States and certain racial and ethnic minority groups are at higher risk for using tobacco. This is the first Surgeon General's report to focus on tobacco use among these four racial and ethnic minority groups. It provides a single, comprehensive source of data on each group's pattern of tobacco use and presents information on national and regional efforts to curtail consumption of tobacco products. Preventing health problems related to tobacco use among these individuals will be integral to achieving the Healthy People 2000 objectives. Following the introduction in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 illustrates how patterns of tobacco use differ among the groups. Chapter 3 compares the groups in terms of the incidence and prevalence of death rates for diseases commonly associated with tobacco use. Chapter 4 analyzes the smoking-related health status of these groups to determine if there is a differential risk for tobacco addiction. Chapter 5 discusses tobacco control and education efforts among members of the four ethnic minority groups. (Contains 43 references.) (JDM)

AB  - Argues that within the vast bulk of work undertaken on the welfare state, cash transfers have come to be regarded as the paradigmatic welfare state activity, although social services certainly make an appearance. Ways that transfers in kind differ from transfers made in cash are analyzed, noting implications for the understanding of contemporary social policy.

T1  - Dimensions of Spiritual Meaning and Well-Being in the Lives of Ten Older Australians
AN  - 61622470; 9913885
AB  - Examines how 10 prominent older Australians, ages 65+, impart a sense of spiritual meaning to their lives, via a secondary analysis of published interviews conducted by Caroline Jones on the Australian Broadcast Corp's radio program, "The Search for Meaning." The interviews explicitly address personal meaning, & focusing on nonroutine or spiritual aspects. The topics addressed are global sense of meaning, altruistic behavior, transcendent experiences, life review, & wisdom. Acquiring knowledge emerges as a global life purpose; altruistic behavior is prevalent, transcendent experiences are reported with frequency; life review & wisdom underscore both a sense of coherence & the continuity of personal characteristics over the life span, & a decidedly optimistic orientation toward human nature. The impression gained is one of older persons with an integrated & often deep & spiritual orientation toward their lives. 24 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Toward Democracy or to the New Authoritarianism: The Case of Croatia
AN  - 61483956; 9917567
AB  - Those skeptical about the ability of formerly communist parts of Europe to develop democratic, market-oriented societies claim that the weight of counterdemocratic cultural & ideological forces cannot be overcome in the near future. Analyzed here is how different demographic & socioeconomic characteristics (eg, gender, age, education, income, region, & religiosity), as well as the subjective variable of self-identification, can influence values, beliefs, & attitudes toward democracy as a political system, along with support for past, present, & future political regimes. Data from the 1995 World Value Survey for Croatia (N = 1,189 respondents) reveal that, in Croatia, demographic variables have a clear influence on values & attitude formation. Extreme supporters for democracy are those who exercise authoritarian attitudes (no distinction is made here between democracy as a political system & the present regime). It is argued that rejection of the present regime cannot be interpreted as rejection of democratic institutions or as lack of democratic value, but as rejection of corruption, nationalism, & social disintegration in general. 14 Tables, 26 References.

T1  - MFO induction in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during and after exposure to Bass Strait crude oil
AN  - 17405280; 4633962
AB  - Biochemical markers of exposure (mixed function oxygenase:MFO as determined by ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity) and of effect (sorbitol dehydrogenase:SDH) were investigated for use during and after exposure of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to low levels of Bass Strait crude oil water-accommodated fraction (WAF) and dispersed crude oil. EROD activity was significantly induced after only two days of exposure to dispersed oil, while four days of exposure were necessary to significantly induce EROD in the WAF-exposed salmon. Following the termination of exposure, EROD induction remained elevated for eight days in both the WAF-exposed and the dispersed oil-exposed fish. Dispersing the oil using Corexit 9527 produced similar EROD activity levels in salmon relative to WAF only. Serum SDH activity confirmed that no hepatocellular injury was caused by exposure of salmon to these levels of WAF or to dispersed Bass Strait crude oil. It is concluded that MFO induction, as measured by changes in EROD activity, can be used for confirmation of low-level exposure of commercial salmon stocks to petroleum-contaminated waters for up to eight days after the event.

T1  - Environmental Protection in Antarctica: Drawing Lessons from the CCAMLR Model for the Implementation of the Madrid Protocol
AN  - 17367863; 4576936
AB  - The aims of this article are, first, to analyze the institutional and implementation issues of the 1980 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR); and, second, to analyze CCAMLR as a precedent within the Antarctic Treaty System and to draw lessons from the CCAMLR model for the implementation of the 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol). A comparative analysis of the two regimes suggests the need for the institutional development of the Committee for Environmental Protection created by the Madrid Protocol and considers the relevance of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a decision-support tool in this context.

T1  - Hydrocarbon degradation by Antarctic coastal bacteria
AN  - 17321526; 4592884
AB  - Bacterial cultures obtained through selective enrichment of beach sand collected 60 days and one year after treatment of sites in a pilot oil spill trial conducted at Airport Beach, Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, were examined for the ability to degrade n-alkanes and phenanthrene. The effects of different hydrocarbon mixtures (Special Antarctic Blend [SAB] and BP-Visco), fish oil [orange roughy]) and inoculation of replicate sites with water from Organic Lake (previously shown to contain hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria) on the indigenous microbial population were examined. Of the cultures obtained, those from sites treated with SAB and BP-Visco degraded n-alkanes most consistently and typically to the greatest extent. Two mixed cultures obtained from samples collected at 60 days and two isolates obtained from these cultures extensively degraded phenanthrene. 1-hydroxy-naphthoic acid formed the major phenanthrene metabolite. Lower levels of salicylic acid, 1-naphthol, 1,4-naphthaquinone and phenanthrene 9-10 dihydrodiol were detected in extracts of phenanthrene grown cultures. This study shows that under laboratory conditions indigenous Antarctic bacteria can degrade n-alkanes and the more recalcitrant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, phenathrene. The enrichment of hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms in Antarctic ecosystems exposed to hydrocarbons is relevant for the long term fate hydrocarbon spills in this environment.

T1  - Effects of sodium accumulation on soil physical properties under an effluent-irrigated plantation
AN  - 17253223; 4518525
AB  - Effluent irrigation commonly results in increased soil sodicity, because of the medium-to-high salinity and high sodium concentrations of many effluents. The exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of soils at the Wagga Wagga Effluent Plantation Project increased from 25% at some depths within the surface 0.6 m of soil, after 5 seasons of irrigation with either (i) treated sewage effluent or (ii) bore water with similar salinity and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). A survey of dispersion index (DI) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sub(sat)) was carried out to investigate the effects of increased soil sodicity on soil physical properties. The K sub(sat) was measured after 5 irrigation seasons at 2 depth intervals (0.15-0.45 m and 0.5-0.8 m) using both bore water and distilled water, and compared with measurements made at the same sites using bore water before irrigation commenced. Both DI and ESP were measured at each of 3 depths in the surface 0.6 m of soil. The DI in distilled water was positively correlated with ESP, with finer soil textures having higher DI for the same ESP. When measured in bore water or effluent, DI was very low and not related to ESP. K sub(sat) was significantly lower after 5 irrigation seasons, and significantly lower in distilled water than in bore water. However, there was no relationship between K sub(sat) and ESP. It was concluded that the increased ESP caused an increased tendency for soil dispersion but was not shown unequivocally to lead to decreased K sub(sat). The increased sodicity does not seem likely to affect continued use of the land for effluent irrigation, but may affect its suitability for alternative uses that involve physical disturbance of the soil, for example, by cultivation.

T1  - Evolution of sociality in the allodapine bees: a review of sex allocation, ecology and evolution
AN  - 17249531; 4547562
AB  - Comparative studies provide one of the most powerful means of assessing the relative roles of selective agents underlying social evolution in insects. Because of the wide variation in social organisation, sex allocation and ecological traits within and between species of allodapine bees, this group provides a wealth of material for such comparative work. Recent studies on Australian allodapine bees are reviewed here and their consequences for understanding social evolution are discussed. Studies to date suggest the following trends: (i) benefits of group living appear to be linked to preventing brood failure rather than to increased brood rearing efficiency; (ii) female-biased sex allocation, when it occurs, is linked to benefits of group living and kinship among nestmates, and is probably mediated via local fitness enhancement; (iii) female biased sex allocation patterns do not usually coincide with opportunities for sib-rearing and are therefore unlikely to facilitate eusociality; (iv) relatedness within colonies is usually high, but in some species females will nest with unrelated females if kin are not available; and (v) phylogenetic studies suggest that opportunities for sib-rearing, arising from brood development patterns and colony phenology, are plesiomorphic for the exoneurine group, but in at least one phylogenetically distal clade, Exoneura sensu stricto, the evolution of large group size and social complexity coincides with the loss or reduction of opportunities for sib-rearing. Assured fitness return models may be applicable to weakly social allodapine species, but do not predict patterns of eusociality. Instead, Australian studies suggest that the evolution of large group size and marked reproductive skew is linked with the need to defend against enemies at the nest, rather than high levels of relatedness, female biased sex allocation or opportunities to rear siblings.

T1  - A reactive state-space model for prediction of urban air pollution
AN  - 17246693; 4533534
AB  - The generic reaction set (GRS) model offers a convenient framework for studying photochemical smog production. Its highly condensed seven equations are deduced from the principal reactions that produce photochemical smog (such as photolysis of reactive organic species, oxidation of NO to NO sub(2), photolysis of NO sub(2), etc.), and have been validated with the CSIRO outdoor smog chamber data. The performance of the model has been found comparable to more detailed photochemical mechanisms such as the CBM-IV. This paper expands the GRS model to include spatial advection and diffusion in the airshed. Via an appropriate numerical scheme, this extended dynamic model is transformed into the state space form, from which interpolation and prediction can be performed using the Kalman algorithm. The model is implemented on a simple grid of seven stations in the Sydney monitoring network. One-step ahead forecasts are derived for observed as well as unobserved locations. Comparison with observed data indicate that the model performs quite well, in particular, it traces the ozone episodes accurately.

T1  - Quantification of surface defects on chemically protective gloves following their use in agriculture
AN  - 17244770; 4533046
AB  - Chemically protective gloves are one of the most widely used barriers against hand exposure to pesticide contamination available to workers in primary industry. Polyvinyl chloride and nitrile butadiene rubber gloves were collected from four typical agricultural enterprises in Tasmania. Surface images of new and used gloves, up to 1000 x magnification, were obtained from an environmental scanning electron microscope and were used to classify defects, such as cracks, crazes, cavities, convexities, smooth areas and slumps. Some defects, e.g. cracks, were related to the working life of the gloves, whereas others, e.g. slumps, were associated with the manufacturing process. After viewing, the gloves were analysed by X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Phosphorus and sulfur peaks were indicative of pesticide retention. Rinsates from the interior of used polyvinyl chloride gloves were analysed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Pesticide traces were found suggesting inadequate protection against dermal exposure. It is concluded that these gloves were unable to withstand the rigours of agricultural work because of the nature of the surface defects and they were contaminated with pesticides, outside and inside. Thus, their management needs improvement.

T1  - Temporal and spatial variation in abundances of native bee species on an altitudinal gradient in southern Tasmania
AN  - 17236427; 4519564
AB  - Bee assemblages were investigated in heathy coastal forest, shrubby dry sclerophyll forest, and shrubby subalpine forest near Hobart, in southern Tasmania, during spring, summer, and autumn between September 1996 and October 1997. Several taxa previously unknown from the state were encountered, including the first Tasmanian records of the halictid subfamily Nomiinae. Assemblages varied both temporally and spatially. Temporal variation within particular vegetation types was due to interspecific differences in flight periods. Spatial variation resulted from most species being restricted to one or two of these vegetation types, with species richness being substantially lower in the subalpine area than the two vegetation types at lower altitude. This variation also involved several species being more or less restricted to one habitat. In particular, Lasioglossum (Austrevylaeus pertribuarium) was a subalpine specialist while numerous species were more or less restricted to either coastal or dry sclerophyll forests. There was also an interaction between these two forms of variation, in the form of divergence in the flight periods of individual species in different vegetation types.

T1  - Seed and Seedling Biology of the Woody-fruited Proteaceae
AN  - 17204323; 4497648
AB  - Within the Proteaceae, 353 species confined to 7 genera in the Grevilleoideae have woody fruits. The majority (> 70%) occur in fire-prone vegetation on nutrient-poor, summer-dry soils of south-western Australia. These species are characterised by large, winged seeds contained within serotinous follicles. Seed release is mediated by desiccation of the follicle walls resulting from fruit death, although wet-dry cycles are required in some genera. After release, germination must take place by the next wet season, as the seeds are not long-lived. Seeds are particularly high in protein (40-60%), P (1-2%) and Fe (10-60ppt) compared with other Proteaceae. Seeds are favoured food for pre- and post-dispersal granivores (insects, birds, rodents) and young seedlings are favoured by herbivores (insects, marsupials), with the more serotinous fruits providing extra protection for their seeds. Successful establishment is facilitated by the protective and water retentive role of the testa during germination, and the remobilisation of N and P from the cotyledons to the seedling within 10 weeks of emergence. Drought stress reduces seedling establishment in otherwise favourable postfire microsites and prevents it (assisted by herbivores) in mature vegetation. Typically, < 10% of seeds released after fire become seedlings, and < 50% of these survive the first summer. Among fire-killed species, species that produce few seeds are more likely to have drought-resistant seedlings, often associated with larger seeds and/or needle-shaped leaves. Species that resprout after fire produce a few large viable seeds per plant, whereas fire-killed species produce many smaller seeds. Of all the Proteaceae, the ecology of woody-fruited species is best known, providing great scope for comparative biology studies.

T1  - Biology of a weakly social bee, Exoneura (Exoneurella) setosa (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and implications for social evolution in Australian allodapine bees
AN  - 17187688; 4479699
AB  - Australian allodapine bees provide excellent material for comparative approaches to understanding social evolution. The subgenus Exoneurella occupies a cladistically basal position in the Australian Exoneura group and comprises only four species. We describe sociality in one Exoneurella species, E. setosa, and combine this with other data to infer some patterns of social evolution in allodapines. E. setosa rears a first brood solitarily, although staggered brood production and the production of a second brood in some nests leads to a situation where older, recently emerged brood have the ability to help rear their younger siblings and this overlaps with opportunities to lay eggs. This is similar to the situation for two other phylogenetically distal species of Exoneurella, as well as for members of the genus Braunsapis, which is used as an outgroup for Exoneura. When combined with other studies, our results suggest that the opportunity for sib-rearing is a plesiomorphic trait for Australian allodapines and this has been largely lost in a distal subgenus, Exoneura sensu stricto. Instead, multifemale brood-rearing colonies in this latter group mostly comprise individuals of the same generation, and species exhibit large group size, univoltinism and kin cofounding. This suggests that evolution can favour semisociality and quasisociality, even when eusociality has already arisen.

T1  - Photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency of species that differ inherently in specific leaf area
AN  - 17111522; 4422192
AB  - Factors that contribute to interspecific variation in photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency (PNUE, the ratio of CO sub(2) assimilation rate to leaf organic nitrogen content) were investigated, comparing ten dicotyledonous species that differ inherently in specific leaf area (SLA, leaf area:leaf dry mass). Plants were grown hydroponically in controlled environment cabinets at two irradiances (200 and 1000 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1)). CO sub(2) and irradiance response curves of photosynthesis were measured followed by analysis of the chlorophyll, Rubisco, nitrate and total nitrogen contents of the leaves. At both irradiances, SLA ranged more than twofold across species. High-SLA species had higher in situ rates of photosynthesis per unit leaf mass, but similar rates on an area basis. The organic N content per unit leaf area was lower for the high-SLA species and consequently PNUE at ambient light conditions (PNUE sub(amb)) was higher in those plants. Differences were somewhat smaller, but still present, when PNUE was determined at saturating irradiances (PNUE sub(max)). An assessment was made of the relative importance of the various factors that underlay interspecific variation in PNUE. For plants grown under low irradiance, PNUE sub(amb) of high-SLA species was higher primarily due to their lower N content per unit leaf area. Low-SLA species clearly had an overinvestment in photosynthetic N under these conditions. In addition, high SLA-species allocated a larger fraction of organic nitrogen to thylakoids and Rubisco, which further increased PNUE sub(amb). High-SLA species grown under high irradiance showed higher PNUE sub(amb) mainly due to a higher Rubisco specific activity. Other factors that contributed were again their lower contents of N sub(org) per unit leaf area and a higher fraction of photosynthetic N in electron transport and Rubisco. For PNUE sub(max), differences between species in organic leaf nitrogen content per se were no longer important and higher PNUE sub(max) of the high SLA species was due to a higher fraction of N in photosynthetic compounds (for low-light plants) and a higher Rubisco specific activity (for high-light grown plants).

T1  - Determination of Clone Size and Age in a Mallee Eucalypt Using RAPDs
AN  - 16554049; 4379905
AB  - Fragmentation of lignotubers and the consequent problems in genotype identification make demographic studies of mallee eucalypts unreliable. DNA fingerprinting using Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers was employed to determine if a hybrid copse between Eucalyptus risdonii and E. amygdalina was clonal. Based on lignotuber morphology this copse appeared to be composed of approximately 20 separate individuals. No variation in RAPD genotype was observed for 67 bands scored from nine primers among the 20 individuals. In contrast, variation was observed between individuals sampled from outside the copse (average 28.6 band differences between any two individuals) and within full sibling families (average 12.9 band differences between individuals). On this basis the copse was considered to be clonal (one genet), originating from lignotuber fragmentation, and measured 5.5 X 3.5 m. The rate of radial expansion in 15-year-old seedling and lignotuber cohorts was measured and used to estimate the age of the hybrid copse. The hybrid genet appeared to be at least 900 years old. While such estimates must be viewed with caution they strongly support the suggestion that mallee eucalypts may attain ages far in excess of single-stemmed eucalypts.

T1  - Modelling the distribution of Anabaena and Melosira in a stratified river weir pool
AN  - 16551917; 4366203
AB  - We have developed a model to predict the stratification dynamics and its influence on the distribution of algal species in a river with strong diurnal changes in temperature stratification. While the phytoplankton concentrations vary in response to buoyancy and light limited growth, the populations are also redistributed vertically due to diurnal mixing caused by surface evaporation and night time cooling. The parameterization of the vertical eddy diffusivity coefficient within the model takes into account the generation of mixing by heat losses at the surface and the suppression of mixing by thermal stratification. The model is successfully tested against extensive temperature and algal concentration data in Maude weir pool on the Murrumbidgee River, Australia. Given literature values of floating/sinking rates and maximum growth rates for the cyanobacterium Anabaena and the diatom Melosira, we were able to reproduce extremely well the time evolution of concentrations of each species over long periods of low flow.

T1  - A method for measuring entropy of symmetric cipher key generators
AN  - 16533631; 4288023
AB  - The entropy of a key generator for a symmetric cipher may be greatly reduced if there is redundancy in the algorithm applied. It may be possible for an attacker to use this reduction in entropy to conduct an exhaustive key attack on an otherwise secure encryption algorithm. In this paper a statistical method will be applied to estimate this entropy. This method can be applied in the case where the algorithm used to generate the key is unknown, only the actual keys are required.

T1  - A review of famciclovir in the management of genital herpes
AN  - 16532087; 4389921
AB  - The frequent occurrence of genital herpes continues to be a serious clinical problem. Although not life threatening, the physical symptoms of the disease, and the ensuing psychosocial complications, can be overwhelming to patients. The life cycle of the herpes simplex virus is complex, comprising multiple stages. Following infection, the virus establishes life-long latency in its host and can reactivate at any time as a recurrent infection. Successful management of genital herpes simplex infections involves patient education and psychological support, as well as antiviral agents. The antiviral agent famciclovir has been shown to shorten the course and decrease the severity of episodes of recurrent genital herpes. In addition, famciclovir has been shown to be effective in suppressing recurrent genital herpes. A review of the clinical experience with famciclovir in the treatment of genital herpes is presented.

T1  - Genetic Control of Reproductive and Vegetative Phase Change in the Eucalyptus risdonii-E. tenuiramis Complex
AN  - 16530419; 4341490
AB  - Eucalyptus risdonii Hook.f. is believed to be a juvenilised form of its sister species, E. tenuiramis Miq., differing largely in the retention of the juvenile leaf type at reproductive maturity. The genetic basis of this ontogenetic variation was examined by monitoring reproductive and vegetative phase changes in 1201 open-pollinated progeny from 40 E. risdonii-E. tenuiramis populations in a field trial over 6 years. Vegetative and reproductive phase changes were highly heritable and genetically independent within populations. Estimates of individual narrow-sense heritabilities for height and timing of vegetative phase change ranged from 0.46-0.67 and 0.19-0.23 respectively, and for time of first flowering from 0.31-0.41. Variation in the height of vegetative phase change amongst progeny grown in a common environment was very similar to that observed in the natural populations from different environments, demonstrating a genetic basis to a stepped cline in the retention of the juvenile leaf form (neoteny). However, a separate pattern of variability in the time to flowering was evident, with precocious flowering found in a number of phenetic groups. This independent variation of reproductive and vegetative phase changes may allow dramatic heterochronic alterations in morphology and physiology with minimal genetic change. The continuous nature of the neotenic variation suggests that speciation by this mode of evolution is not yet complete in the E. risdonii-E. tenuiramis complex, but has presumably operated to produce many other neotenous eucalypt species.

T1  - Pre- and post-season tagging models: Estimation of reporting rate and fishing and natural mortality rates
AN  - 16528073; 4374447
AB  - Brownie presented models for tag returns from multiple taggings of animals when tagging is done twice per year. Here, we present a reformulation of their model suitable for pre- and post-season fishery tag return studies. Under this model, it is possible to estimate fishing mortality, natural mortality, and reporting rate from the tag return data alone. (Under once-a-year tagging models, the reporting rate usually has to be estimated externally.) We consider two special cases: (i) a pulse fishery and (ii) a continuous fishery over part of the year. An artificial example and simulation results are presented to illustrate the methodology and the properties of the various estimators. Unlike for catch-based methods, the correlation between estimates of fishing mortality and natural mortality is moderate. While pre- and post-season tagging studies are likely to be difficult to run in practice, other methods of estimating reporting rate are also difficult to implement, and therefore, this approach may prove quite useful, especially in fisheries that have heavy exploitation rates.

T1  - Effluent irrigation - an environmental challenge for soil science
AN  - 16521890; 4365866
AB  - With the growth of concern for the impact of humankind on the environment, soil scientists have increasingly shifted the emphasis of their work towards the effect of agricultural and other land management practices on the environment. This shift has required some changes to the way soil science is practised. The example of land application of wastes, an increasingly popular practice, is used to illustrate the role of soil science in the complex web of scientific, social, and economic aspects of environmental issues, and the need to influence community thinking and the policy debate. The issues often most likely to be limiting to effluent irrigation are excessive nitrate leaching, poor salt management, and the effects of increasing soil sodicity on current and future land uses. The scientific challenges that these pose are discussed, together with some broader issues including those associated with implementation of effluent irrigation, and socioeconomic and environmental considerations that should influence the decision to select effluent irrigation as the means for disposal or reuse.

T1  - The influences of two plant nuclear matrix attachment regions (MARs) on gene expression in transgenic plants
AN  - 16512170; 4414045
AB  - Nuclear matrix attachment regions (MARs) are thought to influence gene expression by anchoring active chromatin to the proteinaceous nuclear matrix. In this study, two plant DNA fragments with strong MAR activity were selected and tested for their effects on expression of a linked reporter gene in transgenic tobacco. One MAR was isolated from the 5' flanking region of a pea vicilin gene previously reported to be expressed in a copy number-dependent manner in transgenic tobacco. A second MAR was isolated from the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana by preselection for autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) activity in yeast. Flanking copies of the A. thaliana MAR stimulated median reporter gene expression in transgenic plants by five to ten fold. Neither MAR significantly reduced the variation in transgene expression between individual transformants, or conferred copy number-dependence in gene expression.

The myotoxicity of venom of seven Australian elapid snakes was studied to determine their relative in vitro potency in causing cell death of C2C12 cells, a myoblast cell line, and murine myotubes in mixed cell culture. The venom of Pseudechis australis proved to be the most myotoxic, Austrelaps superbus and Pseudechis porphyriacus venoms also exhibited high myotoxicity relative to the other venoms tested. The specificity of Pseudechis porphyriacus venom was tested using the human glioma cell line TC3 and was shown to exhibit a general cytotoxicity. Myotoxicity, however, was the predominant action of the venom. It has long been known that certain animals such as the mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii) are able to survive envenomation. Some species of snakes also possess this property and the neutralising factor(s) responsible for this in P. porphyriacus has been shown to be present in the serum. The protective effect of homologous plasma from P. porphyriacus venom was also studied with reference to myotoxicity and cytotoxicity. The results of this study clearly demonstrated protection by homologous plasma using a myoblast cell line, C2C12, a prima mixed cell culture and TC3 cells. While protection was clear, particularly using high concentrations of venom, it was not absolute, and homologous plasma did not afford continued protection from the effects of the venom. In the mixed cell culture experiments venom/plasma mixtures pre-incubated for 30 min were more protective than venom/plasma mixtures which were not pre-incubated, in contrast to the results of cell culture studies, which showed little difference.

T1  - A comparison of barley isolated microspore and anther culture and the influence of cell culture density
AN  - 16480046; 4336762
AB  - Comparisons were made between the efficiency of barley plant regeneration from anther culture (AC) and isolated microspore culture (IMC) for the European winter cultivar 'Igri' and the spring F sub(1) Australian breeder's hybrid Amagi NijoxWI2585. In both cases, IMC produced a higher number of green regenerant plantlets per anther than AC. For 'Igri' there was a 100- to 200-fold improvement and for Amagi NijoxWI2585 there was a five- to ninefold improvement of IMC over AC. To improve the consistency and reliability of the IMC method, we investigated several parameters, including maltose concentration, subculture protocol, microspore plating density and colony plating density. Subculturing during the liquid culture phase produced no significant improvement in the number of microspores developing into colonies. The optimal concentration of maltose in the liquid induction medium was found to be 90 g l super(-1). Both microspore plating density and colony plating density were found to influence plant regeneration. Microspores produced the highest numbers of colonies when plated at densities greater than 5x10 super(4) ml super(-1), and colonies produced optimal numbers of green plantlets when plated at 12.5-25 colonies/cm super(2).

T1  - Response of Vegetation on Subantarctic Macquarie Island to Reduced Rabbit Grazing
AN  - 16474879; 4341487
AB  - The responses of vascular plant species to a reduction in grazing pressure were monitored as part of a rabbit-control program on Macquarie Island. The initial response of the vegetation was more luxuriant growth with changes in abundance recorded after 2-3 years. After 8-10 years the relative abundance of several species had changed while species not previously recorded had appeared on study sites and others had disappeared. Of the 32 species recorded on study sites, 11 species (Agrostis magellanica, Deschampsia chapmanii, Festuca contracta, Juncus scheuchzerioides, Luzula crinita, Pleurophyllum hookeri, Poa annua, P. foliosa, Stilbocarpa polaris and Uncinia spp. (two species)) were found to form the major portion of the rabbits' diet while another four species (Acaena magellanica, Cerastium fontanum, Isolepis aucklandica, Polystichum vestitum) were moderately grazed. The other species were either rarely grazed or occurred too infrequently to assess. Of the 25 species that were recorded over 30 times, 17 were considered to have benefited from the introduction of rabbits.

T1  - Distribution, Disturbance Tolerance and Conservation of Stackhousia gunnii in Tasmania
AN  - 16474698; 4341486
AB  - Although being possibly widespread on the mainland of Australia, where it is recognised as part of the Stackhousia monogyna Labill. complex, S. gunnii Hook.f. is an endangered species in Tasmania, with only 10 known extant populations, all in the drier parts of the southern Midlands, These populations occur largely on roadsides or lightly grazed paddocks in vegetation that was originally either Themeda triandra grassland or Eucalyptus pauciflora woodland. An ordination of floristic data from sites with and without S. gunnii showed that the species occupies a floristically distinct environment. The floristic differences between stands of S. gunnii relate partly to the presence or absence of tree cover and substantially to precipitation. The groups of species that preferentially occur with S. gunnii are geophytes, non-geophytic herbs and exotic plants, while those that are concentrated elsewhere include shrubs, grasses and non-geophytic graminoids. Permanent transects were monitored over a 4-year period at seven sites with varying grazing, firing and disturbance. The number of shoots varied markedly between years in all sites, but not synchronously, even when transects were in close proximity. Although shoot numbers increased after fires occurred on several ungrazed transect lines, they decreased on one grazed line. Deep mechanical disturbance of one site resulted in a dramatic decrease in shoot numbers in the following year. However, they increased steadily over the following 2 years. Shoot emergence occurred at twice the expected rate on bare ground in all years and at all sites, and a substantial proportion of shoots was confined to this type of surface. However, shoots were also recorded in fewer numbers in grass cover, herb cover and non-vascular plant crusts. Like some other threatened plants of grassy ecosystems, S. gunnii seems to be rare because it cannot survive with heavy grazing disturbance, ploughing and fertilisation, and, at the other extreme, because it is susceptible to elimination in the absence of environmental conditions and disturbances that create bare ground.

T1  - Preparation and Evaluation of Beads Made of Different Calcium Alginate Compositions for Oral Sustained Release of Tiaramide
AN  - 16474010; 4393413
AB  - This study was undertaken to develop a sustained-release formulation of tiaramide (TAM), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with a short half-life, using alginate of different chemical compositions. Alginate gel beads containing TAM were prepared using a gelation of alginate with calcium cations. Bead performance was evaluated in vitro for different dissolution media and beads were also subjected to coating. TAM release was dependent both on its solubility in dissolution medium and the guluronate residue content of the alginate used. The release rate was in the following order: in pH 1.2 > pH 6.8 > water. The fast release rate in pH 1.2 is the result of the high solubility of TAM in acidic medium. Beads based on alginate rich in guluronate residue had the lowest release rate, which can be attributed to the compact structure formed by guluronate residues through cooperative interaction with calcium ions. Alginate beads were administered to beagle dogs, and pharmacokinetic parameters (mean residence time [MRT], t sub(max), C sub(max), and AUC) were calculated. In vivo results were in good agreement with in vitro dissolution characteristics. Beads with high guluronate content gave the best controlled results. In addition, coated beads showed a more satisfactory sustained-release pattern. Calcium alginate appears to be a potential carrier for controlling drug release rate, even for water-soluble drugs such as TAM.

T1  - Carbon dioxide as a regulator of gene expression in microorganisms
AN  - 16467090; 4324095
AB  - CO sub(2) regulates gene expression across a diverse group of microorganisms including fungi, and both photosynthetic and non photosynthetic bacteria. The processes that CO sub(2) regulates are diverse. Several CO sub(2)-responsive random promoter lacZ fusions of unknown function have been isolated from a marine Synechococcus and a Pseudoalteromonas sp., highlighting the wide effect of CO sub(2) control in these organisms. Regulatory proteins have been described that mediate the CO sub(2) response at transcription level in Bacillus anthracis, the group A streptococci and two Rhodobacter spp.. These regulatory proteins include: AcpA and AtxA that are involved in CO sub(2) control of B. anthracis capsule and toxin production; Mga that regulates surface associated virulence factors in the group A streptococci; and RegB/A, a two component signal transduction system that responds to environmental stimuli including CO sub(2), to regulate photosynthetic apparatus and CO sub(2) fixation enzyme synthesis in Rhodobacter spp..

T1  - Response of fish immune cells to in vitro organotin exposures
AN  - 16298901; 4231129
AB  - The presence of contaminants in aquatic environments may compromise the health and survival of fish. Many of these compounds are known immunotoxins in mammals; however, relatively little information is available on the immunotoxic responses of fish to these pollutants. Organotins are examples of widespread industrial and agricultural compounds which persist in aquatic environments. In this study, we investigate the effects of tributyltin (TBT) and its dealkylated metabolite dibutyltin (DBT) on fish immune responses. Immune cells were isolated from the spleen and head kidney of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and exposed to 0, 2.5, 50 and 500 ppb of either TBT or DBT. Mitogenesis was quantified by tritiated thymidine incorporation into cells cultured with the mitogens concanavalin A (Con A) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). No changes in immune function occurred at the lowest organotin dose of 2.5 ppb. Con A-stimulated mitogenesis was significantly suppressed by 85% in spleen cells on exposure to 50 ppb DBT. LPS-stimulated mitogenesis was significantly suppressed by 96% in spleen cells and by 58% in head kidney cells with 50 ppb DBT. The highest concentration of 500 ppb of TBT and DBT inhibited both Con A- and LPS-stimulated mitogenesis by more than 95% in both head kidney and spleen cells. Flow cytometric analysis revealed dose-dependent changes in the cell population profile which correlated with the inhibition of mitogen-stimulated lymphoproliferation. In contrast, natural cytotoxic cell activity was not inhibited by in vitro exposure to either compound, as determined by the lysis of chromium-51-labelled K562 human erythroleukaemia cells and P815 mouse mastocytoma cells. These results show that organotins have both functional and tissue-specific effects on the fish immune system, i.e. spleen/head kidney tissue and, in general, LPS-responsive/Con A-responsive leukocytes. In aquatic systems, TBT is considered to be the most toxic organotin compound, and this toxicity decreases with progressive dealkylation to di- and mono-organotins. However, our results indicate that DBT is a more potent immunotoxin than TBT, and suggest a need for the reassessment of the potential toxicity of DBT to aquatic organisms.

T1  - Cold hardening reduces photoinhibition of Eucalyptus nitens and E. pauciflora at frost temperatures
AN  - 16280192; 4291291
AB  - Photoinhibition of photosynthesis at low temperatures was investigated in two species of subalpine eucalypt, Eucalypts nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden and E. pauciflora Sieb. ex Spreng. Imposition of an artificial cold-hardening treatment increased the frost tolerance of leaf tissue and increased tolerance to excess light. Cold-hardened seedlings of both species had a higher photosynthetic capacity than non-hardened seedlings at 6 and 16 degree C and lower levels of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) at 20 and 5 degree C. Furthermore, hardened seedlings had faster rates of NPQ development at 5 and -3.5 degree C. An increase in minimal fluorescence, which indicates slowly reversible photoinhibition, was evident in all seedlings at -1.5 and -3.5 degree C but was less pronounced in hardened seedlings, with a threefold faster rate of development of NPQ, at -3.5 degree C than non-hardened seedlings. Hardened seedlings also recovered faster from photoinhibition at -3.5 degree C. Thus cold hardening increased tolerance to high light in these species. Differences between E. nitens and E. pauciflora in their response to excess light were small and significant only at -3.5 degree C. Faster recovery from photoinhibition of E. pauciflora was consistent with its occurrence in colder habitats than E. nitens.

T1  - Controls of primary productivity: Lessons from the Luquillo Mountains in Puerto Rico
AN  - 16268537; 4268628
AB  - The Luquillo Mountains of eastern Puerto Rico are used as a case study to evaluate possible single- or multiple-factor controls of productivity in montane forests. A review of published studies from the Luquillo Mountains revealed that canopy height, productivity, and species richness decline while stem density increases with elevation, as is typical of other montane forests. A mid-elevation floodplain palm stand with high levels of productivity provides a notable exception to this pattern. Previous basic and applied studies of productivity in the Luquillo Mountains have consistently considered the overall gradient in productivity to be important in understanding forest structure and function. Recent observational and experimental studies have determined that disturbance of all types is an important factor mediating productivity in both low- and high-elevation (cloud) forests. For example, low-elevation forest recovers more quickly from hurricane disturbance and is more responsive to nutrient additions than is cloud forest. All of the factors proposed for limiting productivity are supported in one way or another by research in the Luquillo Mountains. What is critically lacking is both an appreciation for the way that these factors interact and experiments appropriate to evaluate multiple controls acting simultaneously.

T1  - Treatment of simulated aquaculture water using biofilters subjected to aeration/non-aeration cycles
AN  - 16130297; 4536261
AB  - The overall objective of this research activity is the development of a fixed-film biological nutrient removal (BNR) biofilter system for the reuse and discharge of a selected aquaculture water. The three stage biofilter system used in the study provided alternating aeration/non-aeration cycles for phosphorus removal in two of the three biofilters. The removal of TOC and ammonia improved as the cycle duration (CD) increased as a result of the reduction in the frequency of the transition periods between the cycles. The system achieved limited net phosphorus removal due to the limited sludge wasting and lack of external organic carbon supplies during phosphorus uptake. However, the phosphorus activity in the system was significant and was modified by the CD. The denitrification activity was coupled with phosphorus uptake and both activities appeared to have been supplied by an internal organic carbon source. The major challenges of achieving phosphorus removal in the system include: (1) overcoming the deterioration in the performance of the system during the transition period following the start of each new cycle; and (2) wasting the excess biomass following the aeration cycle. Without active sludge wasting, the system behaves as a phosphorus reservoir with a limited storage capacity. On the other hand, frequent sludge wasting may disrupt the performance of the system.

T1  - Overview of American disinfectant residual practices
AN  - 16129531; 4527433
AB  - In the United States (US) the primary way, until recently, to inactivate or remove pathogens contained in drinking water is through the application of chlorine, either alone or in combination with chloramine. Chlorine has been favored choice of disinfection because of its low cost relative to filtration systems and the high level of purity of many US water supplies that require minimal treatment (e.g. chemical disenfection only). During the late 1980s and early 1990s, in response to the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), many water systems began to install filtration to remove pathogenic organisms. The SWTR not only required systems to install filtration, but to maintain a disinfectant residual in the distribution system. During the same period the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) promulgated the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), that requires water suppliers to monitor for coliforms in the distribution system. The detection of positive coliform can represent a violation for water suppliers and the major method for the elimination of coliforms in the distribution system is to increase disinfectant residuals. These regulations combined with the fact that chlorine is a less expensive option compared to other means of pathogen inactivation, has lead to drinking water that is distributed with high levels chlorine. However, the current situation in the US is drven by consumers expectations of water that does not have chlorine, taste, or odor This papers presents an overview in the practice of disinfection of drinking water that is distributed by presenting and discussing survey data and case studies.

T1  - Endangered Species List Revisions: A Summary of Delisting and Downlisting (January 5, 1998)
AN  - 14578504; 10607551
AB  - The Endangered Species Act was enacted in 1973, mandating, among other actions, the listing of endangered and threatened animal and plant species. A process was also put into place for delisting or downlisting a specie, and a specie may be removed from the list only if data substantiate that it is no longer threatened or endangered. Seven species of wildlife that are now extinct and have, therefore, been removed from the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants are identified as the Tecopa pupfish, longjaw cisco, blue pike, Santa Barbara song sparrow, Sampson's pearly mussel, Amistad gambusia, and dusky seaside sparrow. A number of species are also identified that have recovered to the point where no further protection under the Endangered Species Act is required, as are a number of species that have stabilized or increased in number and have, therefore, been reclassified from endangered to threatened status.

T1  - Relative Potency of Xenobiotic Estrogens in an Acute in Vivo Mammalian Assay
AN  - 14482050; 10547325
AB  - The estrogenic potency of a range of xenoestrogens was examined in an acute in vivo mammalian assay. The response chosen was the rapid increase in uterine vascular permeability following estrogen exposure. A quantitative index of the permeability of the uterine vasculature 4 h after subcutaneous injection of the test compounds was obtained from the leakage of radiolabeled albumin from the circulation. Result showed that estradiol and estriol readily induced vascular responses, but for the other compounds, much higher concentrations were required. Overall, their estrogenic potency was quite weak when assessed in an acute response.

T1  - Bone Lead as a Biological Marker in Epidemiologic Studies of Chronic Toxicity: Conceptual Paradigms
AN  - 14481443; 10547322
AB  - Several recent studies have indicated significant relationships between low-level lead exposure and neurologic toxicity in both adults and children. The most common biological marker of Pb dose has been the Pb level in blood, but the correlations between blood Pb levels and toxicity outcomes have generally been statistically weak. Evidence now suggests that a cumulative measure of Pb dose may be the most important determinant of some forms of toxicity. K x-ray fluorescence is described, which has been shown to be a powerful methodology for evaluating bone Pb level as an indicator of exposure integrated over many years. Two conceptual paradigms are examined to support the use of this biomarker of Pb exposure-bone Pb as the repository for cumulative Pb exposure, and bone as a Pb source. Strategies for distinguishing the relative importance of the two paradigms in epidemiologic studies are outlined.

T1  - Childhood Cancer: A Growing Problem
AN  - 14481405; 10547321
AB  - Childhood cancers in the US appear to be increasing by a rate of approximately 10% per year, mostly for leukemia and tumors of the central nervous system, which account for roughly 50% of all cases. Attempting to identify trends in childhood incidence rates is difficult due to relatively small sample sizes that are statistically unstable and yield estimates that vary widely from year to year. The investigation of childhood cancers through clusters is discussed, along with the possible implication of environmental factors, such as genetic abnormalities, UV and ionizing radiation, electromagnetic fields, viral infections, medications, food additives, and industrial and agricultural chemicals. Fortunately, even though incidence rates are increasing, the prognosis for children with cancer is improving rapidly.

T1  - Accumulation of Chlorpyrifos on Residential Surfaces and Toys Accessible to Children
AN  - 14481066; 10547323
AB  - Pesticides deposited indoors can represent a significant source of potential contact and exposure to young children through nondietary ingestion and dermal absorption pathways. These pathways were investigated after treatment of two similar apartments with Dursban, which contained 41.5% chlorpyrifos. Measurements included concentration of chlorpyrifos in air, in toys, and in dust in and on smooth surfaces. Chlorpyrifos was found to be distributed first in the particle phase immediately following application. Then, over time, chlorpyrifos gradually volatilized into the room and was sorbed to activated surfaces. Results indicated that chlorpyrifos sorbed to both plastic and felt toys, with both showing significant increases in pesticide levels. The levels on plastic toys increased rapidly, while the felt toys showed slower but sustained increases over a two-week sampling period. A model was developed of the two-phase process of deposition and volatilization, which was used to estimate exposure and dose. The surface loading of chlorpyrifos was calculated to range 3.654 ng/cm super(2) on a dresser top and 19507075 ng/cm super(2) on plastic toys. Therefore, pesticide exposure to young children will be underestimated if chronic exposures from dermal and nondietary ingestion from contact with toys and other furniture are not considered.

T1  - Common Commercial Cosmetic Products Induce Arthritis in the DA Rat
AN  - 14480846; 10547326
AB  - Several commercially available mineral-oil-containing skin products, a vaginal gel, and two pure mineral oils were assessed in terms of their ability to induce arthritis in Dark Agouti (DA) rats after intradermal, percutaneous, or peroral administration. The compositions of the different products are described. The routes of administration included: intradermal injection, percutaneous application, intravaginal application, peroral feeding, and subcutaneous implant. The results clearly showed that some of the products could induce arthritis. Mineral oils added to the commercial cosmetic products were found to retain their arthritogenic potentials in the rats, even after being mixed with the many additional substances. Only administration via the skin caused arthritis, whereas peroral or intravaginal applications did not.

T1  - Bay or Baylike Regions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Were Potent Inhibitors of Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication
AN  - 14479867; 10547324
AB  - Gap junctional intercellular communication activity was used to determine the structureactivity relationships of 12 different PAHs. The PAHs examined were: naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, anthracene, 1-methylanthracene, 2-methylanthracene, 9-methylanthracene, 9,10-dimethyanthracene, phenanthrene, fluorene, 1-methylfluorene, and fluoranthene. Gap junctional intercellular communication was determined using the scrape loading/dye transfer assay. Results are presented in terms of doseresponse, cytotoxicity, time recovery, and time response. The naphthalene-type PAHs were observed to inhibit gap junctional intercellular communication in a shorter time period and were cytotoxic at higher doses and incubation times compared with the other PAHs. Inhibition occurred in a short period of time for all of the compounds, indicating that the gap junctions were being modified at the post-translational level.

T1  - Human Biomonitoring of Arsenic and Antimony in Case of an Elevated Geogenic Exposure
AN  - 14478011; 10547327
AB  - The transfer of arsenic and antimony from the environment to humans in the northern Palatinate region of Germany was investigated. The study focused on soil contamination as the main source of exposure, using urinary concentrations and scalp hair as the biomarkers. A nonexposed reference group from Saxony was used as the control. Results showed that, compared to their natural range, high concentrations of both As and Sb were found in the northern Palatinate soil. A slight but significant correlation was found between the 24-h As excretion in urine and the content of As in the soil. Similar results were found for scalp hair. However, neither urine nor scalp hair showed increasing Sb levels with increasing Sb contents in soil. Multiple regression analysis revealed that male sex was positively associated with the contents of As and Sb in urine and with the contents of As in scalp hair.

T1  - Effects of Chronic Exposure to Low Doses of Trichloroethylene on Steroid Hormone and Insulin Levels in Normal Men
AN  - 14477532; 10547328
AB  - In a population of 85 male workers in an electronics factory where trichloroethylene was used as a degreaser, the effects of long-term exposure to trichloroethylene on insulin and adrenal hormones were investigated. Urine samples were analyzed for the presence of trichloroacetic acid, and blood samples were analyzed for serum testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, androstenedione, cortisol, aldosterone, and insulin. Trichloroethylene exposure in the breathing zone was found to be well below the current threshold limit value of 50 ppm. The concentrations of urine trichloroacetic acid ranged 0.8136.4 mg/g creatine. Serum levels of insulin were positively correlated to the urine levels of trichloroacetic acid. Only serum levels of testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin were significantly negatively and positively correlated, respectively, to the years of exposure to trichloroethylene. Androstenedione, testosterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin were significantly negatively correlated with serum insulin.

T1  - National Survey Results on Drug Use from the Monitoring the Future Study, 1975-1995. Volume II: College Students and Young Adults.
AN  - 62554560; ED415462
AB  - To better understand the risk for U.S. youth substance abuse, the results of all the follow-up surveys of the graduating high school classes of 1976 through 1994--taken from the Monitoring the Future study of young adults, ages 19-32 years old--is presented here. The report serves a social monitoring function, in which levels and trends in certain behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and conditions in this population are accurately assessed. It includes trend data for the high school senior population, as well as for college students--an important subset of the young adult population for which very little nationally representative data exists. After outlining study design and procedures, the findings are presented in six chapters: (1) "Prevalence of Drug Use among Young Adults," (2)"Trends in Drug Use among Young Adults," (3) "Attitudes and Beliefs about Drugs among Young Adults," (4) "The Social Milieu for Young Adults," (5) "Prevalence of Drug Use among College Students," and (6) "Trends in Drug Use among College Students." Overall, it was found that there were appreciable declines in the use of a number of the illicit drugs among high school seniors, with the largest declines evident among American college students and young adults.

T1  - Retirement and Other Departure Plans of Instructional Faculty and Staff in Higher Education Institutions. 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62554351; ED414846
AB  - This study examined retirement and other departure plans of full- and part-time faculty and staff in higher education institutions using data from the 1988 and 1993 National Studies of Postsecondary Faculty. Among the study's findings were: 22 percent of full-time and 38 percent of part-time faculty planned to leave their current position within the next three years; 57 percent of full-time faculty and staff planned to retire between the ages of 60 and 70; 28 percent of full-time faculty and staff indicated a willingness to take early retirement; and differences in retirement plans existed by gender, race/ethnicity, academic field, and type and control of institution. The study concluded that institutional policies such as early retirement incentives and part-time employment options may alter employees' retirement plans and behavior. Individual sections of the report detail the study's findings on: characteristics of full-time and part-time instructional faculty and staff; retirement and other separation and mobility plans; mobility to a job not in postsecondary education; expected retirement age or age when planning to leave postsecondary education; and interest in early retirement options. Appended are technical notes, standard error tables, and the survey questionnaires. (DB)

T1  - Chartbook of Degrees Conferred, 1969-70 to 1993-94.
AN  - 62554290; ED414864
AB  - This document presents trend data for degrees conferred on U.S. students attending 2-year and 4-year institutions from 1969-70 to 1993-94. The data, which includes statistical tables, graphs and narrative, were obtained from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and the Higher Education General Information Survey and show the number and percent of degrees conferred by field, degree level, and sex of student, including breakdowns on degrees conferred on minorities and women. Ten figures highlight data on: U.S. resident population age 18 to 29, by sex, 1940-94; percent of degrees (associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral) conferred on resident minority students, 1977-94; and percent of degrees conferred, by sex, 1970-94. Data is organized according to the following field-of-study categories: agricultural and natural resources; biological/life sciences; business, computer and information sciences; education; engineering; health professions and related sciences; mathematics; physical sciences and science technologies; social sciences and history; and first professional degrees. Data for minorities do not show trends in degrees earned by subpopulations. However, data is provided on degrees conferred for the following groups: Black, non-Hispanic; Hispanic; Asian or Pacific Islander; American Indian/Alaskan Native; White, non-Hispanic; and nonresident alien.

AB  - This study used data on 1992 high school graduates from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (a survey that began with eighth graders in 1988 and followed them every two years through 1994) to examine the critical junctures when at-risk high school graduates are most likely to leave the pipeline to college enrollment, and to identify factors that increase their chances of successfully navigating the enrollment pipeline. An at-risk student was defined as having risk factors such as being from a single parent household, having an older sibling who dropped out of high school, and earning low grades between sixth and eighth grades. Highlights of the findings include: about 58 percent of graduates had one or more risk factors; of these, 30 percent successfully navigated the pipeline to college enrollment; at-risk students differed most from counterparts in their educational aspirations and academic preparation; and academically prepared at-risk students were much less likely than counterparts to take an entrance exam. After an introductory chapter, two chapters detail data and definitions and provide an overview of students at risk. The following two chapters present findings on the pipeline to a four-year college and compare at-risk students regarding completion of math courses, help received in the college application process, and level of school involvement of students, parents, and peers. Appended are a glossary, technical notes, and supplementary tables. (DB)

T1  - Dropout Rates in the United States: 1996.
AN  - 62533578; ED415316
AB  - This report, ninth in a series, presents data for 1996 on high school dropout and persistence rates, and examines high school completion and graduation rates. In addition to extending time series data reported in earlier years, the report focuses on the characteristics of high school dropouts and school completers in 1996. Although the reporting of dropout statistics is no longer required by law, this report has been continued because of the importance of charting dropout behavior among America's youth. It is based on the best and most current data available, including the Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census. Five of every 100 young adults enrolled in high school in October 1995 left school before October of 1996 without completing a high school program. This estimate of 5% is on a par with those reported over the last 10 years. A larger percentage of Hispanic students, compared with Whites, leave school short of completing a high school program. Although the 6.7% rate for Black students falls between the rate of 9.0% for Hispanics and 4.1% for Whites, the differences are not significant. In addition, Hispanic young adults without a high school credential have completed less schooling than Black and White dropouts. In 1996, young adults living in families with incomes in the lowest 20% of all family incomes were twice as likely to drop out as their peers from families in the top 20%. While 96% of young adults from families with high incomes had a high school diploma, only about 75% of youths from low-income families reached this goal. Some young people re-enroll or complete high school credentials through alternative routes. The percent holding alternative certification has doubled from 4.9% in 1990 to 9.8% in 1996. These changes hold true throughout the country. Appendixes contain standard error and time series tables, technical notes, and supplemental tables. (Contains 17 tables and 5 figures.) (SLD)

T1  - Feminism and the Future, Sisterhood and the State
AN  - 61602644; 9909460
AB  - A review essay on a book by Hester Eisenstein, Inside Agitators: Australian Femocrats and the State (Sydney, Australia: Allen & Unwin, 1996), which examines the recent increased presence of feminist bureaucrats in senior-level positions in the Australian government. The book offers a clear exposition of the experiences of the 32 "femocrats" interviewed in 1990. However, in following this research design, Eisenstein has produced a thesis that is sharply structured by the experiences, settings, strategies, & shared culture of the interviewees. It is therefore likely that a different set of informants would produce a different interpretation of the research question. Moreover, the book might have benefited from a greater appreciation of the fact that the term "femocrat" might be defined differently by women working in related contexts, eg, trade unions or service agencies. Despite these limitations, the volume opens a research domain that might be pursued in the guise of more national & international comparisons & different methodologies. 4 References. D. Ryfe

T1  - The Macedonian Question: An Historical and Sociological Perspective
AN  - 61578414; 9813885
AB  - Examines the controversy surrounding the "Macedonian question" -- the attempt by contemporary Slavophones from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to appropriate the name Macedonia for their ethnic community. Discussion focuses on the origination of the term Macedonia as a Hellenic noun with the historical formation of the territory known as Macedonia, disputes antecedent to the current Macedonian question, scholarship debating the existence of a Macedonian ethnic community, factors that engendered the current controversy, & the emergence of a novel Macedonian ethnos during WWI. Strategies enacted by the contemporary territory to appropriate Macedonia as its name & the current Greek government's reaction to such appropriation & recommendation that a Slavo-Bulgarian term be selected are reviewed. It is concluded that the transformation of the former Yugoslav Republic to the Republic of Macedonia is based on historical fabrications; ethnic communities are the product of long historical processes & do not always fit contemporary territorial borders. 68 References.

T1  - Iodine deficiency in Belarusian children as a possible factor stimulating the irradiation of the thyroid gland during the Chernobyl catastrophe.
AN  - 21273556; 11702130
AB  - Ten years after the Chernobyl nuclear plant catastrophe more than 500 children in Belarus are suffering from thyroid cancer. The major cause of the high incidence of thyroid cancer in children under 15 years of age appears to be contamination resulting from that catastrophe, mainly with isotopes of radioactive iodine. Another important factor may be iodine deficiency in the environment. A countrywide program for investigation of goiter prevalence and iodine deficiency has been established in the Republic of Belarus with the assistance of the European World Health Organization office. The program will oversee the examination of 11,000 children and adolescents 6 to 18 years of age from 30 schools in urban and rural areas. The results obtained in a group of 824 children and adolescents (the pilot phase) are typical for significant iodine deficiency and moderate goiter endemism. It is clear that the present situation does not completely reflect the situation that existed at the time of the Chernobyl catastrophe. However, data from epidemiologic studies conducted many years before the accident showed high goiter prevalence in the contaminated areas, indicating that the prevalence of iodine deficiency at the time of the catastrophe was similar to the present one or even greater. Such an assumption could lead to a better understanding of the thyroid pathologies that have been observed.

T1  - Chromosome translocations: a biomarker for retrospective biodosimetry.
AN  - 21272792; 11702124
AB  - We discuss here the results from our studies demonstrating that simple translocations detected by chromosome painting can be used to reconstruct radiation doses for workers exposed within the dose limits and for individuals with past exposure. To be useful, a biomarker for exposure and risk assessment should employ an end point that is highly quantitative, stable over time, and relevant to human risk. Recent advances in chromosome staining using fluorescence in situ hybridization facilitate fast and reliable measurement of simple translocations, a type of DNA damage linked both to prior clastogenic exposure and to risk. In contrast to other biomarkers available, the frequency of simple translocations in individuals exposed to whole-body radiation is stable over time postexposure, has little interindividual variability, and can be measured accurately at low frequencies.

T1  - Radiofrequency field exposure and cancer: what do the laboratory studies suggest?
AN  - 21270367; 11704957
AB  - Significant concern has been raised about possible health effects from exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, especially after the rapid introduction of mobile telecommunications systems. Parents are especially concerned with the possibility that children might develop cancer after exposure to the RF emissions from mobile telephone base stations erected in or near schools. These questions have followed scientific reports suggesting that residence near high voltage power lines may to be associated with an increased childhood leukemia risk. Epidemiologic studies have been plagued by poor RF exposure assessment and differences in methodology. There are no high-quality epidemiologic studies that can be used to evaluate health risks from RF exposure. Laboratory studies in this area have been somewhat confusing. Some animal studies suggest that RF fields accelerate the development of sarcoma colonies in the lung, mammary tumors, skin tumors, hepatomas, and sarcomas. A substantial RF-induced increase in lymphoma incidence in transgenic mice exposed for up to 18 months has also been reported. In contrast, other studies have not found carcinogenic effects. These conflicting results indicate the need for more well-conducted studies on laboratory animals, supplemented with high-quality in vitro studies to identify effects that need further research in vivo, and to characterize any acting mechanisms, especially at low RF field levels. This paper provides a review of the laboratory studies and indicates what conclusions about RF-induced cancer can be drawn.

T1  - Is FISH painting an appropriate biological marker for dose estimates of suspected accidental radiation overexposure? A review of cases investigated in France from 1995 to 1996.
AN  - 21262339; 11702132
AB  - From 1995 to 1996 about 15 people suspected of being overexposed to ionizing radiation were referred to the Institute for Nuclear Safety and Protection in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France, for investigation by chromosome aberration analysis. Biological estimates of accidental overexposure were first obtained by scoring radio-induced unstable structural chromosome aberrations (dicentrics, centric rings, and fragments) in peripheral blood lymphocytes. For dose estimates, the yield of these chromosomal aberrations observed in 500 metaphases was compared with the laboratory dose-response relationship established from human blood irradiated in vitro (gamma-rays, 60Co, 0.5 Gy/min). To extend the possibilities of detecting DNA damage from earlier exposures by visualizing stable chromosome aberrations, chromosome painting by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH painting) was developed using a cocktail of three composite whole human chromosome-specific DNA probes (numbers 2, 4, and 12). A laboratory calibration curve for scoring terminal and/or reciprocal translocations was established for the same radiation quality and dose rate as those used for conventional cytogenetics (gamma-rays, 60Co, 0.5 Gy/min). For dosimetry purposes, it was also important to verify whether FISH painting could be applied to each human blood sample assessed for conventional expertise. For each individual, 2000 metaphases were scored for the presence or absence of reciprocal and terminal translocations. We present here a comparison between the results obtained by the two technologies for each of the cases studied separately. We describe their similarities or differences and discuss the suitability of using FISH painting for routine expertise analysis. Images Figure 2. A Figure 2. B Figure 2. C

T1  - Collective radiation biodosimetry for dose reconstruction of acute accidental exposures: a review.
AN  - 21262312; 11702121
AB  - Quantification of the biologically relevant dose is required to establish cause and effect between radiation detriment or burden and important biological outcomes. Most epidemiologic studies of unanticipated radiation exposure fail to establish cause and effect because researchers have not been able to construct a valid quantification of dose for the exposed population. However, no one biodosimetric technique (biophysical or biological) meets all the requirements of an ideal dosimeter. This paper reviews how the collection of biodosimetric data for victims of radiation accidents can be used to create a dosimetric "gold standard." Particular emphasis is placed on the use of electron spin resonance, a standard for radiation accident dosimetry. As an example of this technique, a review will be presented of a previously reported study of an individual exposed to a 60Co sterilization source.

T1  - Two-year follow up study of stress-related disorders among immigrants to Israel from the Chernobyl area.
AN  - 21261118; 11702131
AB  - We report on findings from a 2-year follow-up study of immigrants originating from exposed areas around the site of the 1986 Chernobyl accident matched with comparison subjects emigrating from other republics in the Confederation of Independent States. In the initial study of 708 immigrants, the samples were matched by age, gender, and year of immigration. We assessed two exposure groups--high and low--by estimating levels of ground cesium contamination from the International Atomic Energy Agency maps. We reinterviewed 520 immigrants from the first wave of data collection (a reinterview rate of 73%), 87 from high-exposure areas, 217 from low-exposure areas, and 216 comparison subjects. This study examined the prevalence of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD), depression, somatization, anxiety, and physical effects (high blood pressure, acute symptoms, and chronic illness). The results obtained in the first wave conducted 8 years after the accident showed that psychological symptoms were significantly higher in exposed respondents than in the comparison group. During the second wave (10 years after the accident) we observed a decline in the prevalence of PTSD and related distress except for somatization, which remained at the same level. An association between exposure and high blood pressure was observed in the first wave of data, but was not still significant in the second wave of data collection. The proportion of those who reported three or more chronic health problems was 48.3% among the high-exposure group, 49.3% in the low-exposure group, and 30.6% in the comparison group (p = 0.0003). The most commonly reported problems were heart disease. problems with vision or hearing, migraine headaches, problems with the lymphatic system, and arthritis. Based on the results, it was concluded that the Chernobyl accident was a powerful stressor, having a strong impact on both mental and physical health. Since all respondents were engaged in the process of acculturation and accommodation to a new country after emigration, it is encouraging that this study shows that levels of psychological distress are waning as the new immigrants are absorbed into Israeli society. However, there still remains some independent effect on health associated with the experience of the Chernobyl accident.

T1  - A scientific panel for determining health effects among radiation workers at Israel's nuclear research facilities.
AN  - 21260630; 11703707
AB  - The problem of compensation to employees of nuclear research facilities presents difficult issues to the practicing attorney. The major stumbling block to presenting a well-documented case in court is the worker's inability to discuss the full range of duties at his or her work station over the course of employment. In addition the worker is barred from discussing the types and concentrations of chemicals and radioactive substances to which he or she is exposed, thereby limiting the ability of a competent physician to prepare an opinion on the causation between effects of exposure and disease. This paper presents the dilemma faced by the authors, who represented over 40 workers with cancer at the nuclear research facility in Dimona, Israel. It shows how the authors extricated themselves from this difficult dilemma by creating a panel of scientific experts under the court's auspices and with the court's blessings, which obviated the need for heavy procedural rules of court that apply in torts litigation in Israel. The scheme as developed and approved by the court can serve as a model to other countries where security matters are as important as matters of environmental health.

T1  - Radiation-induced double-strand modification in calf thymus DNA in the presence of 1,2-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone and its Cu(II) complex.
AN  - 21259486; 11703709
AB  - When cells or DNA is exposed to ionizing radiation, the radicals produced in the irradiated sample will modify the base-pair region of the double strands. Effects of 1,2-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (DHA) and its Cu(II) complex on the radiation-induced modification of double-strands in calf thymus DNA were studied using ethidium bromide as a fluorescent probe. Our results show that the Cu(II)-DHA complex is more efficient in modifying the base-pair region in double-stranded DNA compared to free DHA.

T1  - Risk factors for long-term mental and psychosomatic distress in Latvian Chernobyl liquidators.
AN  - 21259248; 11703708
AB  - Epidemiologic studies on the health effects of the Chernobyl disaster have focused largely on physical health, whereas the psychological consequences have received little attention. The authors have assessed the associations of various exposure variables with mental and psychosomatic distress in a sample of 1412 Latvian liquidators drawn from the State Latvian Chernobyl Clean-up Workers Registry. The outcome was a mixed mental-psychosomatic disorder occurring during 1986 to 1995. Comparisons among subgroups of the cohort classified according to exposure type or level were based on the proportional hazards model. Length of work (> or = 28 days) in a 10-km radius from the reactor (relative risk [RR] = 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.70), work (> 1 time) on the damaged reactor roof (RR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.02-2.09), forest work (RR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.19-1.68), fresh fruit consumption (> or = 1 time/day) (RR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.12-2.65) are risk factors for mixed mental-psychosomatic disorder. Construction of the sarcophagus (RR = 1.82, 95% CI 0.89-3.72) is also associated with this outcome, although nonsignificantly. Distinguishing stress-related from radiation-induced effects in this data set was difficult and these findings should provide a basis for later hypothesis testing in other cohorts.

T1  - Distinct sensitivity of normal and malignant cells to ultrasound in vitro.
AN  - 21257951; 11703711
AB  - The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the viability of human normal (foreskin fibroblast and amniotic fluid epithelial) and tumor (breast carcinoma, melanoma, and lung carcinoma) cells lines was studied. Cells were subjected to ultrasonic irradiation with a frequency of 20 kHz and an intensity of 0.33 W/cm2 for variable periods of time. Several parameters were tested to determine the effects of ultrasonic irradiation on cell viability and cellular function. Normal cells were relatively resistant to ultrasonic irradiation, whereas malignant cells were much more sensitive. Maximum damage occurred 4 min after exposure of the malignant cells to irradiation. Cellular DNA and protein synthesis were significantly affected as a function of time of irradiation and cloning efficiency of malignant cells exposed to irradiation was greatly reduced. To generalize the consistency of the ultrasonic effect, studies on additional normal and malignant human cells of distinct origin are under way to test their sensitivity to ultrasonic irradiation. Thus, the applicability of ultrasonic irradiation as an antitumor agent may be important in the development of a new methodology in the treatment of cancer.

T1  - Incidence of childhood disease in Belarus associated with the Chernobyl accident.
AN  - 21257824; 11704955
AB  - Study of the childhood incidence of cancer and other diseases in Belarus is of great importance because of the present unfavorable environmental situation. About 20% of the children in the republic were exposed in various degrees to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Since 1987 increases in the incidence of most classes of disease have been reported, including the development of thyroid cancer. From 1987 to 1995, thyroid cancer was diagnosed in 424 children; its incidence having increased from 0.2 to 4.0/10(5) in 1995. According to preliminary data for 1996, 81 childhood cancer cases were reported. During 1995 there also were increases in the incidence of endocrine and dermatologic diseases and mental disorders. During the period 1987 to 1995 significant increases in the incidences of all illnesses were observed for children listed in the Chernobyl registry. The highest incidence rates were found in evacuated children and those residing in contaminated areas. There also were increased incidences of thyroid and digestive organ diseases among these children and in addition, high prevalence of chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis was observed. Since 1990 an increase of autoimmune thyroiditis has been observed. The highest rates of hematopoietic tissue diseases were found in children born after the accident to irradiated parents.

T1  - Modulation with cytokines of radiation injury: suggested mechanisms of action.
AN  - 21256879; 11703714
AB  - Cytokines, hormonelike proteins, produced by stimulated cells and tissues, were found to protect mice against lethal hematopoietic failure caused by ionizing radiation. Radioprotection was achieved by pretreatment with interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IL-12, or stem cell factor (SCF) at 18 to 24 hr before irradiation. Pretreatment with antibodies to these cytokines rendered the mice more susceptible to radiation lethality, indicating that these cytokines play a role in innate resistance to radiation. In contrast, treatment with tumor growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a cytokine that inhibits cycling of primitive hematopoietic progenitors, sensitized mice to radiation lethality. The schedule of IL-1 administration was critical to its radioprotective effect. Evidence was obtained that this may be based on the induction of additional cytokines by IL-1. The radioprotective effects of cytokines can be based on induction of cycling of primitive progenitor cells (IL-1, SCF), prevention of apoptosis (SCF), and induction of scavenging proteins and enzymes (IL-1, TNF) that reduce oxidative damage. In contrast, radiosensitizing effects may be due to inhibition of progenitor cycling (TGF-beta) or enhanced progenitor cell apoptosis (TGF-beta). Thus, the insights gained from such studies at the whole-animal level promise a better understanding of the membrane and intracellular events associated with radiation damage and repair of such damage.

T1  - Molecular changes in the offspring of liquidators who emigrated to Israel from the Chernobyl disaster area.
AN  - 21255793; 11704951
AB  - The primary goal of this research was to reveal de novo mutations in the liquidators (cleanup personnel) who emigrated to Israel from the Chernobyl disaster area. We used genome fingerprinting simple sequence repeat-anchored polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD PCR). The methodology involved a combination of RAPD PCR, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and silver staining, with arbitrarily primed PCR. Use of microsatellite markers appears to be the most promising technique for high sensitivity analysis. The analysis involved DNA isolated from the blood of experimental and control subjects (involving both offspring who were born before or after the disaster and their parents). Our studies have reproducibly detected new bands that appeared in the children born after the disaster. No such bands appeared in the children born in the same family before the accident or in the children of control families who had not been exposed to radiation. Images Figure 1. Figure 2.

T1  - Radon exposures in a Jerusalem public school.
AN  - 21253897; 11702135
AB  - In December 1995, ambient radon levels exceeding 10,000 Bq/m3 were measured in a basement shelter workroom of a multilevel East Talpiot, Jerusalem, public elementary school (six grades, 600 students). The measurements were taken after cancers (breast and multiple myeloma) were diagnosed in two workers who spent their workdays in basement rooms. The school was located on a hill that geologic maps show to be rich in phosphate deposits, which are a recognized source for radon gas and its daughter products. Levels exceeding 1000,000 Bq/m3 were measured at the mouth of a pipe in the basement shelter workroom, the major point of radon entry. The school was closed and charcoal and electret ion chamber detectors were used to carry out repeated 5-day measurements in all rooms in the multilevel building over a period of several months. Radon concentrations were generally higher in rooms in the four levels of the building that were below ground level. There were some ground-level rooms in the building in which levels reached up to 1300 Bq/m3. In rooms above ground level, however, peak levels did not exceed 300 Bq/m3. Exposure control based on sealing and positive pressure ventilation was inadequate. These findings suggested that radon diffused from highly contaminated basement and ground-floor rooms to other areas of the building and that sealing off the source may have led to reaccumulation of radon beneath the building. Later, subslab venting of below-ground radon pockets to the outside air was followed by more sustained reductions in indoor radon levels to levels below 75 Bq/m3. Even so, radon accumulated in certain rooms when the building was closed. This sentinel episode called attention to the need for a national radon policy requiring threshold exposure levels for response and control. A uniform nationwide standard for school buildings below 75 Bq/m3 level was suggested after considering prudent avoidance, the controversies over risk assessment of prolonged low-level exposures in children, and the fact that exposures in most locations in the Talpiot school could be reduced below this level. Proposal of this stringent standard stimulated the search for a strategy of risk control and management based on control at the source. This strategy was more effective and probably more cost effective than one based on suppression of exposure based on sealing and ventilation. Because many Israeli areas and much of the West Bank area of the Palestinian National Authority sit on the same phosphate deposits, regional joint projects for surveillance and control may be indicated.

T1  - Bridging the gap in mental health approaches between east and west: the psychosocial consequences of radiation exposure.
AN  - 21252506; 11702123
AB  - Mental health professionals in Western countries and the Confederation of Independent States ([CIS], the former Soviet Union) have been examining the social and psychological consequences of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident on the people who lived or are living in the exposed areas. Based on reviews of the literature, papers from international conferences, and communication between researchers in various countries, different perspectives have emerged on classifying distress and disorders and designing treatment programs. The origins of these differences lie in philosophical, historical, and political developments in the West and the CIS. These different approaches often have made it difficult for mental health professionals from the CIS and the West to work together. The goal of this paper is 2-fold: to identify and recognize the main differences in these approaches and to propose specific solutions for bridging the gap. The basic approach of mental health professionals in the CIS is a physiological, nosological one--it focuses on the etiology of the illness. Although their main diagnostic tool is the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, it has undergone adaptations that reflect the Soviet medical and physiological attitude toward psychiatry. These changes have resulted in the abrogation and addition of disorder categories. For example, in the CIS edition of the ICD-9, there is no mention of post traumatic stress disorder as a distinct disorder. In contrast, in the West, the dominant approach is a symptomatic, phenomenologic one. Emphasis is placed on a dynamic understanding of the disorder and treatment is conducted by mental health professional (psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists). This contrasts with the approach used in the CIS, where psychological distress often is somaticized and treatment undertaken by physicians rather than mental health professionals. The authors of this paper call on researchers to come together and work jointly on the recognition and resolution of these differences. Then both groups will be able to offer concrete solutions and build tools that can benefit both sides. It is hoped that these new approaches will receive worldwide recognition and prove useful for other mental health professionals working with persons affected by the accident at Chernobyl.

T1  - Impact of National Immunization Days on Polio-Related Knowledge and Practice of Urban Women in Bangladesh
AN  - 1761689758; 199802750
AB  - The impact of the 1995 National Immunization Days program in Bangladesh on polio-related knowledge & practice of urban women was examined, drawing on pre- & postcampaign interviews of 201 slum & 324 nonslum Dhaka City ever-married women with at least one child under age 5 & surveys of 51 managers from agencies involved in the organization & implementation of the vaccine services. Analysis revealed that knowledge of polio as a vaccine-preventable disease increased during National Immunization Days among both slum & nonslum women, the increase was most pronounced among slum dwellers. Nonslum women identified TV as their primary source of immunization information, while slum women identified fieldworkers as their primary source. Overall, National Immunization Days resulted in 88% of children under age 5 receiving at least one dose of oral polio vaccine & 67% receiving the two stipulated doses. No significant differences in the % of slum & nonslum children receiving two doses were found. 8 Tables, 17 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Horizontal patchiness in sympagic organisms of the Antarctic fast ice
AN  - 16518174; 4321701
AB  - Patchiness in the horizontal distribution of sympagic organisms was studied at an Antarctic coastal site during autumn. A hierarchical sampling design (nested ANOVA) was used to assess variation in the biota on scales from metres to kilometres. Metazoan abundance, chlorophyll concentration and salinity were measured in 54 sea ice cores. The metazoan fauna was dominated by nauplii of the copepod Paralabidocera antarctica (6 x 10 super(4) to 4 x 10 super(5) m super(-2)). Other copepods present included Stephos longipes, Oncaea curvata, Oithona similis, Ctenocalanus citer, and unidentified harpacticoid copepods. Chlorophyll a concentrations were generally much higher than values recorded at other sites at the same time of the year, reaching a maximum of 78 mg m super(-2). Metazoan abundances did not correlate strongly with chlorophyll or salinity. Significant variability in abundance of P. antarctica and O. similis, and chlorophyll concentration occurred at the scale of kilometres, whereas salinity and other metazoan abundances were not significantly variable at any of the scales examined. Considerable variation was evident at scales of less than one metre.

T1  - Species composition, biomass and vertical distribution of micronekton over the mid-slope region off southern Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 16440345; 4339456
AB  - Seasonal sampling was carried out based on day/night, vertically stratified tows (100 or 125 m strata) in the upper 900 m of the water column over the mid-slope commercial fishing grounds south of Tasmania. A large midwater trawl (105 m super(2) mouth area) was used with an opening/closing cod-end. Subtropical convergence and subtropical species dominated the fauna, but many less abundant, more widely-distributed species were also present. Fishes, which contributed 89% of micronekton biomass and 135 of 178 species, were dominated by the Myctophidae (48% biomass and 48 species). Twenty micronekton species made up 80% of the total biomass. Overall, the micronekton fish biomass in this region was 2.2 g m super(-2) wet weight. A pronounced day/night shift in the distribution of biomass was attributable to diel migratory species. During the day, <0.2% of the total micronekton biomass was found in 0 to 300 m; most biomass was below 400 m, with peaks at 400 to 525 m and 775 to 900 m. At night, 53% of the biomass was found in 0 to 300 m, with progressively less in each deeper stratum. The vertical ranges of individual species typically exceeded 400 to 500 m during the day and night and were non-coincident, although nyctoepipelagic migrators were concentrated in the surface 200 m at night. Distinct epipelagic, lower and upper mesopelagic assemblages were identified, and patterns of epipelagic migration, limited migration and non-migration were categorised for species from each of the lower and upper mesopelagic assemblages. The vertical distribution of these assemblages was coincident with the primary water masses: subantarctic mode water (\sim250 to 600 m) and antarctic intermediate water (below \sim700 m). The flux of migrating micronekton, estimated at 0.94 to 3.36 g C m super(-2) yr super(-1) to the lower mesopelagic and 1.14 to 4.06 g C m super(-2) yr super(-1) to the upper mesopelagic, appeared to be considerably outweighed by the consumption needs of aggregated mid-slope benthopelagic predators. We suggest that advection of mesopelagic prey in antarctic intermediate water may sustain aggregated populations of orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) and other predators on the micronekton in mid-slope depths at this site.

T1  - Sensitivity of the Antarctic sea ice distribution to its advection in a general circulation model
AN  - 16417748; 4321705
AB  - A dynamic-thermodynamic sea ice model is used and coupled with an atmospheric general circulation model to simulate the seasonal cycle of the global sea ice distribution. We have run the coupled system and obtain a creditable seasonal simulation of the Antarctic sea ice. To understand the role of ice advection on the seasonal cycle of Antarctic sea ice in the coupled system, results from the thermodynamic-only (T) sea ice model have been compared with those from the dynamic thermodynamic (DT) sea ice model. The seasonal cycle of sea ice differs between the two models. When ice motion is eliminated sea ice becomes more compact and thinner, and sea ice is more extensive in summer. A number of previous studies have examined the effect of ice dynamics on sea ice simulations with prescribed atmospheric conditions. Here experiments have been performed with a fully coupled atmosphere sea ice system and also using prescribed daily atmospheric forcing and monthly mean atmospheric forcing, to examine the differences of the sensitivity of the ice advection between the coupled and forcing models. Similar differences have been observed between DT and T in the forcing models but the magnitude is smaller than in the fully coupled model, and with monthly mean atmospheric forcing the difference is least. These differences highlight the importance of the inclusion of ice advection when undertaking studies using a fully interactive atmosphere sea ice model, or using prescribed daily/monthly atmospheric conditions to force a sea ice model for the Antarctic.

T1  - Estimating stand water use of large mountain ash trees and validation the sap flow measurement technique
AN  - 16334851; 4266468
AB  - Mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F.J. Muell.) forest catchments exhibit a strong relationship between stand age and runoff, attributed inter alia to differences in tree water use. However, the tree water use component of the mountain ash forest water balance is poorly quantified. We have used the sap flow technique to obtain estimates of daily water use in large mountain ash trees. First, the sap flow technique was validated by means of an in situ cut tree experiment. Close agreement was obtained between the sap flow estimate of water use and the actual uptake of water by the tree from a reservoir. Second, we compared the variability in sap velocity between a symmetric and an asymmetric tree by using multiple sap flow loggers. In the symmetric tree, velocity was fairly uniform throughout the xylem during the day, indicating that accurate sap flow estimates can be obtained with a minimal number of sampling points. However, large variations in sap velocity were observed in the asymmetric tree, indicating that much larger sampling sizes are required in asymmetric stems for an accurate determination of mean sap velocity. Finally, we compared two procedures for scaling individual tree sap flow estimates to the stand level based on stem diameter and leaf area index measurements. The first procedure was based on a regression between stem diameter and tree water use, developed on a small sample of trees and applied to a stand-level census of stem diameter values. Inputs to the second procedure were tree water use and leaf area of a single tree and the leaf area index of the stand. The two procedures yielded similar results; however, the first procedure was more robust but it required more sampling effort than the second procedure.

AN  - 16286252; 4291652
AB  - Movements and habitat use of the queen scallop, Equichlamys bifrons, were investigated in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Huon River estuary, Tasmania. Movements in E. bifrons were very local. In areas of strong current flow, movement occurred predominantly along the axis of the water current. There was evidence for an up-slope movement in areas of weak current flow. In sheltered bays, E. bifrons occurs more frequently in seagrass beds than on adjacent sand areas. Possible reasons for this distribution were investigated with both tethered and tagged scallops. Predation by the 11-armed spiny starfish, Coscinasterias muricata, and the octopus, Octopus maorum, on scallops was much higher on sand than in seagrass. Tagged scallops moved from sand areas to seagrass areas, but not from seagrass to sand.

T1  - Multivariate statistical analysis of environmental monitoring data
AN  - 16237346; 4223723
AB  - EPA requires statistical procedures to determine whether soil or ground water adjacent to or below waste units is contaminated. These statistical procedures are often based on comparisons between two sets of data: one representing background conditions, and one representing site conditions. Since statistical requirements were originally promulgated in the 1980s, EPA has made several improvements and modifications. There are, however, problems which remain. One problem is that the regulations do not require a minimum probability that contaminated sites will be correctly identified. Another problem is that the effect of testing several correlated constituents on the probable outcome of the statistical tests has not been quantified. Results from computer simulations to determine power functions for realistic monitoring situations are presented here. Power functions for two different statistical procedures: the Student's t-test, and the multivariate Hotelling's T super(2) test, are compared. The comparisons indicate that the multivariate test is often more powerful when the tests are applied with significance levels to control the probability of falsely identifying clean sites as contaminated. This program could also be used to verify that statistical procedures achieve some minimum power standard at a regulated waste unit.

However, debate has focused on genetic variation that is neutral rather than under selection. This distinction is particularly important in antagonistic or co-evolutionary interactions such as host-pathogen or predator-prey systems. Plant host-pathogen systems provide some of the best examples of studies in which numerical and genetic dynamics have been investigated in a spatially explicit context, and where genes under selection can be unambiguously identified. Empirical studies of natural host-pathogen interactions have shown that, while in some cases pathogens appear to be locally adapted to their hosts, in others there is no local correspondence between resistance and virulence genes. Recent theory suggests that the dynamics (epidemic vs. endemic) and migration rates of host and pathogen will be important factors in the maintenance of genetic polymorphisms in resistance and virulence. We argue that the relative spatial scales at which hosts and pathogens interact are crucial to understanding the evolution of resistance/virulence structure. Pathogens that disperse further than their hosts will be more likely to show gene-for-gene interactions than pathogens dispersing over spatial scales similar to or smaller than their hosts. We predict that life-history features that influence encounter rates between specific host and pathogen genotypes will be important factors in determining the evolution of resistance-virulence structures. In particular, we would expect correlative and/or causal relationships between pathogen life-history features [e.g. local vs. systemic infection, type (fecundity vs. mortality) and severity of effects], and whether dynamics are endemic or epidemic. Plant host-pathogen systems provide ideal models for investigating the evolution of non-neutral genetic variation in spatial systems. Understanding the co-evolution of such systems will require research programmes that integrate long-term descriptive and experimental studies of multiple populations, with analytical and computer simulation modelling and comparative/phylogenetic studies.

T1  - Increased nest cofounding and high intra-colony relatedness in the bee Exoneura bicolor (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Results from an experimental situation
AN  - 16211080; 4274449
AB  - Identifying differences in a key social trait between two populations of the same species is important for understanding the evolution of sociality. Previous studies of new colonies in Exoneura bicolor, an Australian allodapine bee, have shown that there are high levels of kin cofounding in a montane population. The only study to examine intra-colony relatedness in a heathland population has found that new multifemale colonies are not formed by kin. In this study we used an experiment to investigate both cofounding behaviour and intra-colony relatedness in E. bicolor from a heathland population. Nest substrate was placed either 0.05 or 1 m distant from source nests in a novel environment. Although there were no differences in cofounding rate or intra-colony relatedness between the two treatments there was, overall, a high rate of cofounding: 53% of new nests were multifemale, approximately twice as high as found in previous field-based studies. Relatedness among cofoundresses was not only different from zero, r plus or minus SE = 0.597 plus or minus 0.097, but almost identical to that found in montane populations. A constraint, such as nest substrate distribution, is suggested as a proximate factor affecting the expression of cofounding behaviour in E. bicolor. The implication of such proximate constraints for inferring the phylogenetic origins of social behaviour is discussed.

T1  - Dietary Lead Intakes for Mother/Child Pairs and Relevance to Pharmacokinetic Models
AN  - 14483775; 10546602
AB  - Ten mother/child pairs were monitored for up to 24 months to evaluate the impact of absorption of dietary lead during middle childhood compared with adults' absorption and to determine its impact on the Pb burden of children versus adults. Blood and environmental samples, including a quarterly 6-d duplicate diet, were monitored. Nine of the pairs had migrated from Eastern Europe to Australia, and the tenth was used as an Australian control. Results showed that, in seven out of the ten cases, the mean blood Pb of the child was greater than that of the mother. The mean daily intake of Pb for the children and mothers was 0.21 and 0.11 mu g/kg/d, respectively. When the data were pooled, there was a statistically significant correlation for mother bloodfood in isotopic Pb composition, but not for the child. In spite of considerable changes in average dietary intake, changes in the dietary isotopic composition, and dietary intake of Pb/kg body weight between the mothers and children, the absorption rate of Pb from dietary sources was found to be similar for adults and children 6 yr of age and older.

T1  - Plane Pollution
AN  - 14483747; 10546598
AB  - Airports are known to be major sources of noise, water, and air pollution, as carbon dioxide, VOCs, and nitrogen oxides are pumped into the atmosphere, and toxic chemicals are dumped into waterways. Data from the literature are cited in an assessment of these environmental problems and how to mitigate them. Efforts to reduce noise, air, and water pollution problems at various airports are described. With the projected doubling of passenger air traffic in the US over the next 20 yr, the environmental impact of airports will continue to increase unless strong actions are taken at the local, state, and national levels.

T1  - An Alternative Approach for Investigating the Carcinogenicity of Indoor Air Pollution: Pets as Sentinels of Environmental Cancer Risk
AN  - 14483213; 10546599
AB  - Rodent bioassays and human observational epidemiology have been used traditionally to investigate the carcinogenicity of indoor air pollution. A third approach is described, involving pet epidemiology, which uses naturally occurring cancers in pet animals as surrogates of human cancer risk. The limitations of rodent bioassays and traditional epidemiology are outlined, and the history, advantages, and limitations of pet epidemiology are discussed. It is argued that well-designed pet epidemiology studies, particularly those using dogs, can add significantly to the weight of evidence concerning the environmental causes of cancer in both animals and humans.

T1  - Lead Poisoning-One Approach to a Problem That Won't Go Away
AN  - 14483188; 10546597
AB  - Because of the persistence of lead in various environmental sources and its long skeletal half-life, skeletal Pb concentrations invariably increase with age. It has been hypothesized, however, that the high rate of bone remodeling during childhood, and the consequent high calcium and Pb turnover, result in a substantial reduction in bone Pb stores so that much of the Pb incorporated into bone during childhood does not persist into adulthood. Evidence from the literature is cited in a discussion of how increasing dietary Ca intake can reduce Pb adsorption and toxicity. Unfortunately, dietary intakes of Ca for most Americans fall well below guidelines, especially for African-American children and adults. It is recommended to increase dietary Ca intakes, not as an alternative to reduce Pb exposure from paint and other sources, but as an additional approach to be used in conjunction with other preventive strategies.

T1  - Soil Ingestion: a Concern for Acute Toxicity in Children
AN  - 14482609; 10546604
AB  - Several studies have indicated that soil-ingestion episodes may involve soil quantities greater than 5 g. Results are presented from a preliminary assessment of the risks posed by soil contaminants at contemporary guidance concentrations when there is soil pica, which is the term used for soil ingestion. Only acute toxicity information derived from clinical studies or case reports was used in the analysis. Thirteen chemicals were evaluated: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, copper, cyanide, fluoride, lead, naphthalene, nickel, pentachlorophenol, phenol, and vanadium. The results strongly suggest that the current methodology for calculating risk-based soil-screening levels and clean-up goals based on chronic-exposure assumptions may not adequately protect children exhibiting soil pica behavior. Depending on the magnitude of soil ingested and the specific contaminant, a soil pica episode may result in the ingestion of doses similar to, or greater than, those observed in clinical reports to produce severe toxicity.

T1  - Persistent Learning Deficits in Rats After Exposure to Pfiesteria piscicida
AN  - 14482043; 10546600
AB  - Pfiesteria piscicida is a newly recognized toxic dinoflagelate species, which inhabits estuarine and coastal waters of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern US. The species exhibits at least 24 distinct life stages, but the small flagellated vegetative form has been associated with the most lethal toxic effects. The radial-arm maze was used to assess spatial learning and memory in rats after exposure to P. piscicida. In addition, a functional observational battery was used. Results showed a significant P. piscicida-induced impairment in learning, which was observed in two different radial-arm maze tasks, and these cognitive deficits persisted up to ten weeks after exposure. Most of the measures on the functional observational battery did not detect any difference between the P. piscicida-treated rats and controls, but at the highest exposure, effects were observed that were related to habituation, a simple form of learning. There were no signs of obvious toxicity or compromised health in the treated rats.

T1  - Dioxinlike Components in Incinerator Fly Ash: a Comparison Between Chemical Analysis Data and Results from a Cell Culture Bioassay
AN  - 14480988; 10546601
AB  - Flyash samples from municipal-waste incinerators, a crematorium, wood combustors, and a noble-metal-recycling facility were analyzed for the presence of potent PCDDs, PCDFs, dioxin-like PCBs, and PAHs, and the chemical data were compared with results from parallel experiments that utilized the ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) bioassay in rat hepatocyte culture. The EROD toxic equivalence values were compared with the chemical toxic equivalence values. Results showed that EROD activity in rat hepatocyte cultures was inducible with extracts from all flyash samples studied. The concentration of potent PCDDs/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs, expressed as chemical toxic equivalents/g flyash, varied considerably between the samples, even samples from different incinerators of different design in the same plant. The EROD-toxic equivalence values in many instances were found to be about 25 times higher than those calculated from the chemical data. It was also found that PAHs and unidentified components with dioxin-like activity could have contributed to the difference.

T1  - Biological Monitoring of Organophosphorus Pesticide Exposure Among Children of Agricultural Workers in Central Washington State
AN  - 14480489; 10546603
AB  - Biological monitoring was used to determine the extent to which children of pesticide applicators in Washington State are exposed to organophosphorus pesticides. Urinary metabolite levels of the pesticides in children living with occupationally exposed parents were determined and compared with a reference population. Results showed that children of pesticide applicators had higher urinary biomarker levels of organophosphorus pesticides than reference children. The variability in biomarker concentrations for the applicator children was observed to increase over the sampling period, regardless of the time of individual visits during the spray cycle. A marginally significant trend of decreasing concentration with increasing age was found, as children 34 yr of age had significantly higher exposures than children 56 yr of age. The closer a child lived to a sprayed orchard, the greater the exposure. Overall, however, levels of dimethylthiophosphate, which was the dominant metabolite, in children were relatively low compared with agricultural worker exposures, as the levels never exceeded 0.5 mu g/l.

T1  - Amending the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, and for Other Purposes. Senate Report To Accompany S. 569. 105th Congress, 1st Session.
AN  - 62528145; ED420465
AB  - In this report, the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs reports favorably on Senate Bill 569 to amend the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978 and recommends its passage with an amendment. In enacting ICWA, Congress sought to: (1) protect the relationship between Indian children and their parents; (2) affirm the tribal right to participate meaningfully in placement decisions affecting Indian children; (3) preserve each Indian child's Indian heritage and, if possible, specific tribal affiliation; and (4) provide an orderly mechanism for resolving questions concerning state and tribal jurisdiction over Indian children. The purpose of Senate Bill 569 is to amend ICWA to provide additional procedures applicable to voluntary Indian child custody proceedings. These procedures will help ensure greater certainty, stability, and finality in child custody determinations without compromising the meaningful participation of tribes in Indian child placement decisions, a vital aspect of tribal sovereignty. Following the text of the bill, this report includes purposes of the bill, background on federal Indian child welfare policy in relation to ICWA's four objectives listed above, procedures applicable to ICWA, need for legislation, description of the substantive amendments (which place time restrictions on tribal and family intervention and provide for visitation agreements), summary of provisions, legislative history, section-by-section analysis, cost and budgetary considerations, executive communications, and changes in existing law.

T1  - An Analysis of Total Nonresponse in the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). Technical Report.
AN  - 62553686; ED414343
AB  - This technical report presents results of an analysis of unit response rates for the components of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Surveys (SASS). The study was motivated by the general need to evaluate and improve the quality of SASS data and to identify potential sources of nonsampling error associated with nonresponse in SASS. As background, the report describes the survey design and nonresponse adjustment procedures for each of the components of the SASS. A primary focus of the analysis is to compare the response rates for known characteristics of schools, administrators, teachers, school districts, libraries, librarians, and student records, and to assess the extent and pattern of these differences. Where possible findings from the 1993-94 analyses are compared to results from an exploratory analysis of response rates from the 1990-91 SASS. In addition, the hierarchical nature of response rates is examined, and a multivariate model of unit response is developed for one of the SASS components (public schools) to explain the relationship between these factors and the level of unit response. The following chapters are included: (1) "Overview"; (2) "SASS Core Components"; (3) "New SASS Components"; (4) "Summary of Significance Tests"; (5) "Hierarchical and Cross-Classified Testing"; (6) "Measurement of the Sampling Frame and Cooperation Rates"; (7) "Nonresponse Modeling for the Public School Component"; and (8) "Highlights and Recommendations." Appendixes contain response rate tables and a description of tests of association between response status and characteristics. (Contains 80 tables, 64 figures, and 34 references.) (SLD)

AB  - Psychosocial variables associated with health-related behaviors in terms of diet, exercise, alcohol consumption, & smoking are examined, drawing on 1994 questionnaire & interview data from 583 Australians, age 18, who had been surveyed periodically since 1985. Barriers to changing behavior are identified, & the role of self-efficacy as a predictor of choosing healthy behaviors is measured. Findings revealed gender differences in depression related to health behaviors, eg, higher depressive affect among female smokers & drinkers, & an inverse relationship between depression scores & self-efficacy in diet, exercise, & alcohol & tobacco use in both sexes. Depressive behavior should be further evaluated & addressed in efforts to promote health among youth. These efforts should also concentrate on increasing self-efficacy & addressing barriers to change, & consider gender effects in attitudes & the influence of depression & Type A behaviors on health. 6 Tables, 3 Figures, 55 References.

T1  - Seeing the forests for the more than the trees.
AN  - 21349244; 7720499
AB  - Assessing the health effects of deforestation is difficult because of the rate at which the world's forests are disappearing. From 1990 to 1995 alone, the world lost a total area of forest cover nearly twice the size of Italy. Deforestation, which is caused by human population growth and encroachment, clearance for agricultural production, and the growing worldwide demand for wood products, has been linked with effects ranging from local changes in climatic and disease patterns to global climate change and biodiversity loss. Deforestation is responsible for about 25% of net annual releases of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and also lessens the amount of forest available to absorb greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation also causes a tremendous loss of biodiversity worldwide. It is estimated that over the next 50 years deforestation will rank as the single greatest cause of species loss.

T1  - Physiological versus viscosity-induced effects of water temperature on the swimming and sinking velocity of larvae of the serpulid polychaete Galeolaria caespitosa
AN  - 16531853; 4327240
AB  - Water viscosity is inversely related to water temperature. Because marine invertebrate larvae generally operate in a hydrodynamic environment dominated by viscous forces (i.e. Reynolds numbers <1), temperature-induced changes in water viscosity may exert profound influence on the swimming and sinking velocity of larvae. Whilst the physiological effects of water temperature on larval locomotion have received considerable experimental investigation, the influence of temperature-induced changes in water viscosity has received little attention. We investigated the relative physiological and viscosity-induced effects of water temperature at 25 and 15 degree C on the swimming and sinking velocity of larvae of the serpulid polychaete Galeolaria caespitosa (L.). Larvae of this species undergo considerable growth and development during their planktonic period such that the Reynolds number of the larval body (trochosphere) increases from 0.19 at hatching to 1.11 at 120 h post-hatching. Consequently we suggest that inertial forces may exert an influence on swimming at the later stages of larval development and therefore the influence of viscosity may change over the course of larval development. We also suggest that a temperature-induced increase in water viscosity will reduce the sinking velocity of larvae and may reduce the energy expenditure required to maintain location in the water column. Our results indicate that both physiological and viscosity components of water temperature influence the swimming velocity of G. caespitosa larvae. However, the influence of water viscosity did not change significantly over the course of larval development. The sinking velocity of G. caespitosa larvae was reduced with a temperature-induced increase in water viscosity. The reduction in sinking velocity of the larvae was proportional to the increase in water viscosity. We estimated and compared the metabolic costs of swimming to counteract sinking at 25 and 15 degree C by estimating Q sub(10) values from the metabolic effects of temperature on swimming velocity. We suggest that the metabolic costs of swimming to counteract sinking in G. caespitosa larvae are similar at 25 and 15 degree C, but that the metabolic costs of swimming are slightly higher at 15 degree C.

T1  - Feeding ecology and interannual variations in diet of southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii, in relation to coastal and oceanic waters off eastern Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 16525297; 4333472
AB  - The diets of 1219 southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii, from inshore (shelf) and offshore (oceanic) waters off eastern Tasmania were examined between 1992 and 1994. Immature fish ( 150 cm. The offshore tuna, when in subantarctic waters, ate relatively more squid than when in the East Australia Current. In the latter, fish and crustacea were more important, although there were variations between years. No relationship was found between either prey type or size with size of tuna. Feeding was significantly higher in the morning than at other times of the day. The mean weight of prey was significantly higher in inshore-caught tuna than in those caught offshore. We estimated that the mean daily ration of southern bluefin tuna off eastern Tasmania was 0.97% of wet body weight day super(-1). However, the daily ration of inshore-caught tuna was similar to 3 times higher (2.7%) than for tuna caught offshore (0.8%) indicating that feeding conditions on the shelf were better than those offshore. Our results indicate that the inshore waters of eastern Tasmania are an important feeding area for, at least, immature southern bluefin tuna.

T1  - A bioenergetics model for an air-breathing fish, Channa striatus
AN  - 16429180; 4333474
AB  - Food consumption, standard metabolism, and growth of juvenile snakehead, Channa striatus, a cannibalistic and air-breathing fish were measured at 24-26 degree C under controlled laboratory condition. Snakehead weighing 3.2-29.5 g were evaluated, and were fed smaller snakehead. Based on our observations, we determined bioenergetics relationships between specific food consumption, metabolic rates, and body weight. These values, along with other published parameter values allowed us to construct a bioenergetics model for snakehead. We then verified our model with growth and food consumption measurements from an independent feeding trial. Predicted fish growth closely matched observed growth. Our model underestimated cumulative food consumption when a constant activity value was used, but consumption estimates improved when we used nonconstant activity values (1-5 times of standard metabolism). Predicted fish maintenance ration was 1.7% of body weight per day. Food conversion efficiency was greatest (0.59) when fed 2% body weight daily, but declined when daily consumption exceeded 6% body weight. This model provides a useful approach for assessing food requirements of snakehead under controlled condition.

T1  - Helicobacter pylori: Prevalence, transmission, and serum pepsinogen II concentrations in children of a poor Periurban community in Bangladesh
AN  - 16350120; 4315157
AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the age-specific prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in infants and children aged 1-99 months from a poor periurban community in Bangladesh. We also examined the frequency of infection among infants and their 53 immediate family members and evaluated the relationship between infection and fasting serum group II pepsinogen (pepsinogen II) concentration in 76 children. Sixty-one percent of 1-3 month-old infants tested positive for H. pylori; this rate declined steadily to 33% in children aged 10-15 months and then increased to 84% in children aged 5-8 years. The H. pylori infection rate was 2.5 times higher in children with illiterate mothers. No difference in infection rate was detected among the family contacts of infected vs. noninfected infants. H. pylori-infected children had significantly higher serum pepsinogen II concentrations than did noninfected children (P < .001). We conclude that infection with H. pylori is highly prevalent and occurs at an early age. An environmental factor or factors, rather than or in addition to intrafamilial spread of this infection, are important in poor communities of Bangladesh. The higher levels of serum pepsinogen II in H. pylori-positive children might indicate the presence of gastritis in such asymptomatic children.

T1  - Isolation of the glucose oxidase gene from Talaromyces flavus and characterisation of its role in the biocontrol of Verticillium dahliae
AN  - 16347566; 4315645
AB  - The glucose oxidase gene from the biocontrol fungus Talaromyces flavus has been isolated and shown to be only 64% identical at the amino-acid sequence level to the similar enzyme from Aspergillus niger. A transformation system has been developed for both T. flavus and the related T. macrosporus and has been used to create Talaromyces spp. which either over-express or are deficient in glucose oxidase. In vitro inhibition experiments on Verticillium dahliae using culture filtrates from these transformants indicates that secreted glucose oxidase is responsible for a large part of the growth inhibition of V. dahliae microsclerotia and hyphae by T. flavus, although other inhibitory compounds may also play a role. In pot trials with cotton plants, both Talaromyces species had some biocontrol activity, but there was no significant difference in the incidence of Verticillium wilt with either the presence or absence of glucose oxidase activity in the biocontrol fungus. Under the experimental conditions used, insufficient glucose is presumably present in the soil around cotton roots to generate sufficient hydrogen peroxide to inhibit V. dahliae and the observed biocontrol activity must be attributed to other factors.

T1  - Expression of Campylobacter hyoilei lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS) antigens in Escherichia coli
AN  - 16292917; 4300294
AB  - Campylobacter spp. are well recognized as primary pathogens in animals and in people. To isolate and define the genetic regions encoding major surface antigens of Campylobacter hyoilei, genomic DNA of the type strain of the species, RMIT-32A, was cloned into a cosmid vector, pLA2917, in Escherichia coli and the resulting genomic library was screened using antiserum raised to the parent C.hyoilei strain. Six cosmid clones were found to express a series of immunoreactive bands in the 15-25 kDa range. These bands were proteinase K-resistant and were found in the LPS fraction of the cells, suggesting that the recombinant cosmids expressed C. hyoilei lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS) antigen(s). The minimum DNA insert size required for expression of C. hyoilei LOS antigen(s) in E. coli was 11.8 kb. This region was subcloned into the plasmid vector pBR322. The partial sequencing of the 11.8 kb region showed that it contains two ORFs, designated rfbF and rfbP, showing homology with the rfbF gene from Serratia marcescens and the rfbP gene from Salmonella typhimurium. Both genes are involved in LPS synthesis. The region also contained a sequence homologous to the rfaC gene of E. coli and S. typhimurium which is involved in core oligosaccharide synthesis.

T1  - Inhibition of cytokine-driven human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by protease inhibitor
AN  - 16287068; 4293141
AB  - Protease inhibitors block virus maturation and prevent the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 in vitro. HIV-1-positive persons produce higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines that up-regulate HIV-1 replication. For the protease inhibitor to be effective in vivo, it must be able to suppress cytokine-induced HIV-1 replication. The in vitro efficacy of protease inhibitor to block tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha , interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1 alpha , and IL-1 beta induction of HIV-1 was investigated. While 100 U/mL of the respective cytokines induced a 208- to 22-fold increase in HIV-1 p24 production, addition of protease inhibitor completely inhibited this virus induction. The kinetics indicated a sustained HIV-1 inhibition despite high levels of endogenous TNF- alpha induction. Dilution of protease inhibitor led to increased HIV-1 replication. These results show that while protease inhibitor can prevent cytokine induction of HIV-1 replication, a continual effective dose is required for the inhibition to be sustained.

T1  - Awareness of sexually transmitted disease among women and service providers in rural Bangladesh
AN  - 16258561; 4244086
AB  - Sexually transmitted disease (STD) in rural Bangladesh is currently a topic of great concern. To date, little information is available in the literature regarding its prevalence. It is now known, however, that the current level of STD awareness among the rural population with regard to modes of transmission and means of prevention is inadequate. In 1994, the MCH-FP Extension Project (Rural) of ICDDR, B surveyed 8674 married women of reproductive age (MWRA) in 4 rural thanas to examine their awareness of STDs. The association between socio-demographic and programmatic factors (variables which affect STD information availability) and awareness of STDs was examined by both bivariate and multivariate analyses. Seven focus group discussions were conducted among groups of government health and family planning workers and paramedics to assess their knowledge of STDs and attitudes about their prevention. Only 12% of the original group had even a basic understanding about STDs and how to protect themselves from them. Twenty-five per cent of the women surveyed had ever heard of either syphilis or gonorrhoea. Of these women, less than half could mention specific mechanisms involved in the transmission of these diseases. Seven per cent reported that syphilis and gonorrhoea are transmitted through sexual intercourse. Thirteen per cent reported that the infections are transmitted from spouses to their partners. Four per cent reported that STDs can be spread by having multiple sexual partners. The results of logistic regression analysis indicate that awareness of STDs was higher among relatively older women than among younger women. Awareness of STDs was most strongly and positively associated with the education of both the women and their husbands. Awareness of STDs was also found to be higher among women who were more socially mobile (e.g. those who frequent cinemas or mothers' clubs). The findings of focus group discussions indicate that family planning and health care service providers have a moderate level of STD awareness. Modes of transmission and means of prevention, however, were areas of weakness. It will, therefore, be necessary, whether to prevent a potential STD epidemic or to combat current STD prevalence, to implement culturally acceptable and affordable means of disseminating knowledge in rural areas of Bangladesh. Training of health care providers will be an essential first step.

T1  - Examination of the Estrogenicity of 2,4,6,2',6'-Penatchlorobiphenyl (PCB 104), Its Hydroxylated Metabolite 2,4,6,2',6'-Pentachloro-4-bipheylol (HO-PCB 104) and a Further Chlorinated Derivative, 2,4,6,2',4',6'-Hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 155)
AN  - 14477187; 10546556
AB  - The estrogen-receptor-mediated effects of 2,4,6,2',6'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 104), 2,4,6,2',6'-pentachloro-4-biphenylol (HO-PCB 104), and 2,4,6,2',4',6'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 155) were investigated using CD-1 mice. In vitro assays were used to determine the activities of the PCBs to compete with 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)) for binding to the mouse uterine estrogen receptor, promote MCF-7 human breast-cancer-cell proliferation, and induce gene expression using a recombinant receptor/reporter gene assay. Results showed that PCB 104, HO-PCB 104, and PCB 155 all exhibited significant estrogen-receptor-mediated activities. All three competed with E sub(2) for binding to the mouse uterine estrogen receptor, and PCB 104 and HO-PCB 104 exhibited significant agonist activity in the gene expression assay. While hydroxylation of the parent PCB was found to enhance its binding affinity and potency, oxidation to a hydroxylated metabolite was not required to elicit estrogen-receptor-mediated activities.

T1  - Phenolphthalein-Containing Laxative Use in Relation to Adenomatous Colorectal Polyps in Three Studies
AN  - 14476949; 10546551
AB  - Data from three recent case-control studies, one conducted in Los Angeles, CA, and two conducted in North Carolina, were used to examine phenolphthalein-containing laxative use in relation to the formation of adenomatous colorectal polyps. Phenolphthalein was recently found to be a multi-site/multi-species carcinogen in animals. Analysis of the study data revealed that few subjects reported using phenolphthalein-containing laxatives with any appreciable frequency, so the association estimates were imprecise. No association was found in the North Carolina data, and in the Los Angeles data, an odds ratio of 1.8 associated with use once a week or more was suggested.

T1  - Triazine Herbicide Exposure and Breast Cancer Incidence: An Ecologic Study of Kentucky Counties
AN  - 14476941; 10546553
AB  - An ecologic study of Kentucky counties was designed to examine the link between breast-cancer incidence and triazine-herbicide exposure. For each county, demographic data were compiled, along with data on groundwater and surface-water contamination, the amount of pesticide used by applicators in each county, and breast-cancer incidence. Results showed that, the higher the levels of contamination in surface water, the higher the incidence of breast cancer, but contamination of groundwater showed a less consistent result. Overall, a small but statistically significant increase in breast-cancer risk was noted with medium or high exposure to triazines, and the association was strongest for the most recent years of breast-cancer data. A puzzling finding was a protective effect against breast cancer with higher levels of corn planting and pesticide use, which may have been due to more skilled applications that led to decreased pesticide runoff.

T1  - The Significance of Mouse Liver Tumor Formation for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment: Results and Conclusions from a Survey of Ten Years of Testing by the Agrochemical Industry
AN  - 14476924; 10546549
AB  - Results are presented from a study conducted by the European Crop Protection Association that utilized a questionnaire methodology to compile mouse carcinogenicity studies conducted over the period 1983-92. A total of 138 valid studies was received from ten agrochemical companies, which ranged in duration from 18 to 27 months. Of those studies, 101 were judged to be negative in terms of tumorigenicity in both sexes, and 16 were positive in both sexes. The study data are compiled on genotoxicity, survival effects, body-weight effects, liver histopathology, and relative liver weights. In these experiments, the liver was the most frequent site of carcinogenicity in both rats and mice. The relevance of mouse bioassays to human risk assessment and the risk factors relevant for carcinogenesis in humans are considered.

T1  - Estimating Xenobiotic Half-Lives in Humans from Rat Data: Influence of log P
AN  - 14476775; 10546550
AB  - The lipid solubility of xenobiotics is expected to be an important parameter in determining the half-life relationship between rats and humans because the adipose content of humans as a percentage of total body weight is 34 times larger than for rats. Using average half-life values in rats and humans for 127 xenobiotics obtained from the literature, the ability of the octanolwater partition coefficient, expressed as log P, to account for some of the variability remaining in the data after use of a simple linear expression relating the species was investigated. Results found that accounting for lipid solubility improved the accuracy of predictions of human xenobiotic half-lives from rat half-life data, and the variance was decreased when log P values were included in the prediction equation. This was especially true when predicting human half-lives from rat half-lives for xenobiotics with extremely large log P values.

T1  - Analysis of Breast Milk to Assess Exposure to Chlorinated Contaminants in Kazakstan: PCBs and Organochlorine Pesticides in Southern Kazakstan
AN  - 14475911; 10546557
AB  - In Kazakstan, breast-milk donors were accessed through regional maternal and child health clinics in major industrial, agricultural, and population centers. Residue levels of PCBs and organochlorine pesticides in the breast-milk samples were related to health status, breast-feeding patterns, dietary habits, smoking status, medication use, and residence and work history data. For the entire data set, the sum of the six prevalent PCBs averaged 180 ng/g fat, but significantly higher residues were found in Atyrau, which is an industrialized region. For organochlorines, rural areas and Atyrau had the highest levels of most compounds. All fish and dairy products had very low levels of the target analytes, with the exception of fish from Atyrau.

T1  - Have Sperm Densities Declined? A Reanalysis of Global Trend Data
AN  - 14474921; 10546554
AB  - Univariate linear and nonlinear models were fit to data from 56 studies on sperm densities published between 1930 and 1990 to examine temporal changes. The studies were stratified into regions. The greatest decline in densities was observed for the European studies, although the mean sperm densities were highest in Europe. The overall analysis suggested a significant decline in sperm densities in both Europe and the US, with confounding and selection bias unlikely to account for these results.

T1  - Violent and Repeat Juvenile Offender Act of 1997. Report of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Together with Additional, Minority and Supplemental Views To Accompany S. 10.
AN  - 62548671; ED419208
AB  - Finding that violent crimes perpetrated by juvenile offenders has increased dramatically in this century, the Committee on the Judiciary recommended and forwarded this bill for enaction by the Senate. The bill revises federal court procedures, addresses the problem of violent crime and controlled substance offenses by youth gangs, and encourages states to adopt policies "to ensure that the victims of violent crimes committed by juveniles receive the same level of justice as do victims of...adults." Title I reforms the procedures by which juveniles who commit federal crimes are prosecuted and punished. Title II deals with juvenile gangs. Title III amends and reauthorizes the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 to provide block grants to states for effective youth crime control and accountability. Title IV provides seed money for Boys and Girls Clubs in distressed areas. Title V contains definitions and authorizations regarding miscellaneous offenses including carjacking, firearms safety, use of prison labor for data entry, hate crimes and child exploitation. Legislative history; minority, additional, and supplemental views; and cost estimates are included. (EMK)

T1  - Access to Postsecondary Education for the 1992 High School Graduates. Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62552202; ED413854
AB  - This report uses data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 to examine 1992 high school graduates' access to postsecondary education in 1994, 2 years after high school graduation. An overview of the postsecondary enrollment rates of graduates by family income, race/ethnicity, and parental levels of education is followed by an analysis of the factors associated with the relatively low four-year college enrollment rates of Hispanic, black, and low-income students. The findings include: (1) the differences by income and race/ethnicity in the four-year enrollment rates of college-qualified high school graduates are eliminated among those students who have taken college entrance examinations and completed an admission application; (2) high school graduates with low-income parents are able to attend four-year colleges at the same rates as students from middle-income families, if the low income students follow the usual requirements for consideration and admission; (3) college-qualified low-income students, once accepted to four-year colleges, are as likely to enroll as middle- and high-income students; and (4) barriers to a four-year college education for low-income high school graduates appear to include low educational expectations and poor academic preparation. Appendix A is comprised of a glossary and Appendix B is comprised of technical notes and methodology. (JLS)

T1  - Institutional Aid 1992-93. Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62543746; ED413853
AB  - This report examines institutional aid awards for postsecondary education students for the academic year 1992-93, relating institutions students attended and student characteristics to receipt and size of institutional award. Data is based on the 1992-93 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. Highlights include the following: (1) Institutional aid has increased at a faster rate than any other source of student financial aid since 1985; (2) receipt and amount of aid varied by level and control of institution, with full-time undergraduates in private four-year institutions more than twice as likely to receive aid as those in public four-year institutions; (3) "traditional" undergraduates (full-time, under 24, living on campus) were more likely to receive aid than other students; (4) full-time undergraduates in the lowest income quartile attending public institutions were more likely to receive aid than those in higher income quartiles. Narrative and 22 tables in the report cover: categories of aid recipients; institutional financial issues and characteristics (Carnegie classification, tuition, endowment); growth of institutional aid; and student characteristics (income, financial aid package, grade point average, race/ethnicity). A summary discusses the undergraduate and institutional characteristics associated with institutional aid. Two appendixes include a glossary and technical notes and methodology.

T1  - Family Involvement in Children's Education: Successful Local Approaches. An Idea Book.
AN  - 62543134; ED412031
AB  - Schools that are most successful in engaging parents and other family members in support of their children's learning look beyond traditional definitions of parent involvement--parent teacher organizations or signing report cards--to a broader conception of supporting families in activities outside of school that can encourage their children's' learning. This idea book is intended to assist educators, parents, and policy makers as they develop school-family partnerships, identifying and describing successful strategies used by 20 local Title I programs. Following an executive summary, the book notes resources for involving families in education, includes research supporting such partnerships, and describes how Title I encourages partnerships. Next, the book describes successful local approaches to family involvement in education, organized around strategies for overcoming common barriers to family involvement, including: (1) overcoming time and resource constraints; (2) providing information and training to parents and school staff; (3) restructuring schools to support family involvement; (4) bridging school-family differences; and (5) tapping external supports for partnerships. Finally, the book presents conclusions about establishing and sustaining partnerships, noting that at the same time that successful partnerships share accountability, specific stakeholders must assume individual responsibility, and that those schools that succeed in involving large numbers of parents invest energy in finding solutions for problems, not excuses. Four appendices present profiles of 10 successful partnerships, descriptions in table format of 20 successful local approaches, contact information for profiled partnership programs, and resources for building successful partnerships. Contains 13 references. (HTH)

T1  - Brief report. Evaluation of Teknaf enteric agar (TEA): modified MacConkey's agar for the isolation of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri
AN  - 17170579; 4472229
AB  - To develop a better and selective medium for the isolation of Shigella spp., McConkey's Agar (MAC) was modified by adding potassium tellurite (K2TeO3) at a concentration of 1 [mu]g/ml. The formulation designated Teknaf Enteric Agar (TEA) was studied for the inhibitory effect of potassium tellurite on the growth of different enteric bacteria, and as a medium for isolating Shigella spp. from clinical stool samples (n=3125). We observed that the growth of E. coli was effectively inhibited on TEA with no effect on the growth of S. dysenteriae type 1 and S. flexneri. A total of 2019 Shigellae were isolated through the combined use of TEA, MAC, and Salmonella-Shigella Agar (SS). On TEA, 1921 S. dysenteriae type 1 and S. flexneri were isolated as compared to 1765 from the combined use of MAC and SS. A total of 194 of S. dysenteriae type 1 and S. flexneri were exclusively isolated from TEA as compared to 38 which were only made from MAC and SS. We conclude that TEA significantly increased the overall isolation rate of Shigella spp. as compared to the combined use of MAC and SS (P <0.0001), although it is not suitable for the isolation of S. sonnei.

T1  - A comparative analysis of aggression in migratory and non-migratory salmonids
AN  - 16430967; 4333346
AB  - This paper represents a comprehensive test of the hypothesis that aggression in salmonids increases with the duration of stream residence. The intraspecific aggression of eleven juvenile salmonids was compared with their normal duration of stream residence. Salmonids maintained in 1 metre tanks and observed over two days could be separated into four groups based on statistical differences between the frequencies of aggressive behaviour. Non-anadromous Salvelinus fontinalis showed the highest levels of aggressive behaviour, followed by Oncorhynchus masou and O. mykiss (rainbow and steelhead trout). Least aggressive were the early migrants O. nerka (kokanee and sockeye salmon) and O. keta. The remaining species, O. rhodurus, O. kisutch, S. leucomaenis pluvius and Salmo trutta formed a moderately aggressive group. Aggressiveness was significantly and positively correlated with the duration of stream residence.

T1  - Chemical carcinogens and antigens contribute to cutaneous tumor promotion by depleting epidermal Langerhans cells
AN  - 16375756; 4287628
AB  - Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are an integral component of the skin immune system as they initiate immune responses to a variety of antigens, including tumor antigens. When skin is exposed to carcinogenic doses of ultraviolet-B irradiation, chemical carcinogens or tumor promoters there is a significant reduction of LC density. This causes the skin to be immunocompromised and provides an opportunity for aberrant cells to escape immune detection and develop into tumors. Consequently LC depletion is a key event associated with the pathogenesis of skin cancer. We propose that LC depletion contributes to tumor promotion and therefore any agents that reduce LC number, e.g. the contact sensitizing antigen 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB), may also contribute to tumor promotion. This proposal was evaluated in cutaneous carcinogenesis by treating mouse skin with a tumor initiating dose of the carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) followed by a tumor promoter. The initiating dose of DMBA did not cause LC depletion or tumor development. However, if the DMBA-treated skin was then exposed to a concentration of TNCB that caused LC depletion, skin tumors developed. This is analogous to the classical initiator/promoter system with an LC-depleting dose of TNCB contributing to tumor promotion. Further, this promotion effect was independent of the commencement time of the promoter application, as 2% TNCB applied either 1 or 12 weeks after DMBA initiation induced tumor development. Analysis of the association of LC depletion with immunosuppression and tumor promotion, showed that these events were linked, irrespective of the agent that caused the depletion. It is therefore concluded that LC depletion and local immunosuppression are important aspects of tumor promotion in cutaneous carcinogenesis and non-carcinogenic agents may have tumor promoter activities.

T1  - Environmental monitoring and impact assessment of a solid waste disposal site
AN  - 16323331; 4259496
AB  - The objective of this study is an attempt to conduct an environmental monitoring and impact assessment of the On-Nooch solid waste disposal site in Bangkok, Thailand. Four water and five air sampling stations (2 upwind and 3 downwind directions) were established at the site. Grab water samples from leachate treatment plant and Khlong Song Hong, a nearby stream, were collected during the rainy and dry seasons. Analytical results of the waste water discharged by the leachate treatment plant, during dry season showed chemical oxygen demand: 618 mg/l; biochemical oxygen demand: 80 mg/l; suspended solid: 101 mg/l; Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen: 283 mg /l, which were still higher than standard limit for effluents in Thailand. During the dry season, results also showed widespread heavy metal pollution from leachate (chromium: 1.03 mg/l; manganese: 1.07 mg/l; mercury: 0.025 mg/l) and were higher than the allowable level of heavy metals for the Industrial Effluent Standard in Thailand. The direct discharge of untreated leachate into inland water will cause considerable water pollution in the study area. Composite air samples in this study area were collected during the rainy and dry seasons and were analyzed for methane (CH sub(4)), carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO sub(2)), nitrogen dioxide (NO sub(2)) and suspended particulate matter (SPM). The average concentration of SPM ranged between 0.1-0.36 mg/m super(3) for 24-hour average, depending upon the season. The level of CH sub(4) and CO sub(2) in the ambient air of the study area were found to be 3.48-65.71 mg/m super(3) and 886-1758 mg/m super(3) respectively which were much higher than the normal concentration of CH sub(4) and CO sub(2) in the air (CH sub(4): 2.41 mg/m super(3); CO sub(2):585 mg /m super(3)). Hence, adverse health and environmental effects could be expected from water and air pollution.

T1  - Shewanella gelidimarina sp. nov. and Shewanella frigidimarina sp. nov., novel Antarctic species with the ability to produce eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 omega 3) and grow anaerobically by dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction
AN  - 16293490; 4229377
AB  - A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed to characterize dissimilatory iron-reducing strains mostly isolated from Antarctic sea ice. The strains were isolated from samples of congelated (land-fast) sea ice, grease ice, and ice algal biomass collected from the coastal areas of the Vestfold Hills in eastern Antarctica (68 degree S 78 degree E). The strains were facultatively anaerobic, motile, and rod shaped, were capable of anaerobic growth either by fermentation of carbohydrates or by anaerobic respiration, and utilized a variety of electron acceptors, including nitrate, ferric compounds, and trimethylamine N-oxide. A phylogenetic analysis performed with 16S rRNA sequences showed that the isolates formed two groups representing novel lineages in the genus Shewanella. The first novel group included seawater-requiring, psychrophilic, chitinolytic strains which had DNA G+C contents of 48 mol%. The members of the second strain group were psychrotrophic and did not require seawater but could tolerate up to 9% NaCl. The strains of this group were also unable to degrade polysaccharides but could utilize a number of monosaccharides and disaccharides and had G+C contents of 40 to 43 mol%. The whole-cell-derived fatty acid profiles of the sea ice isolates were found to be similar to the profiles obtained for other Shewanella species. The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (20:5 omega 3) was detected in all of the sea ice isolates at levels ranging from 2 to 16% of the total fatty acids. EPA was also found at high levels in Shewanella hanedai (19 to 22%) and Shewanella benthica (16 to 18%) but was absent in Shewanella alga and Shewanella putrefaciens. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic data, the Antarctic iron-reducing strains are placed in two new species, Shewanella frigidimarina sp. nov. (type strain, ACAM 591) and Shewanella gelidimarina sp. nov. (type strain, ACAM 456).

T1  - Raves, drugs and experience: Drug use by a sample of people who attend raves in Western Australia
AN  - 16266441; 4253181
AB  - Aims. To investigate the patterns of drug use among a sample of people in the rave scene in Perth, Western Australia and test the hypothesis that those who were less experienced in their drug use had less drug-related knowledge. Design. Respondents were recruited through flyers in cafes, clothing and music stores and through snowballing. Setting. Respondents were interviewed in cafes or restaurants, private dwellings, agencies or other public spaces. Participants. Eighty-three people who had been to a rave in the prior 6 months. Their mean age was 18.9 years (range 13-48) and 53% were male. Measurements. Brief history of drug use, HIV risk behaviour, knowledge of drug-related harm and side effects experienced from drugs. Findings. The group was unremarkable apart from their drug use. Ninety per cent of respondents had ever used LSD, 76% had used ecstasy and 69% had used amphetamines. Before, during or after the last rave attended 52% used cannabis and 35% had used each of amphetamines and LSD. Those who were less experienced in their drug use had less knowledge about drugs. Many respondents began using 'dance drugs' while they were still at school. Conclusions. Those with less drug-using experience may have less drug-related knowledge and may be at greater risk of harm. Strategies should be implemented which involve people in the scene, promoters, health workers and the authorities to reduce drug-related harm associated with raves and other dance events.

T1  - Aeromonas spp. possess at least two distinct type IV pilus families
AN  - 16232313; 4227270
AB  - Type IV pili have been purified from strains of most of the Aeromonas species associated with gastroenteritis (A. veronii biovar sobria, A. hydrophila, A. trota and A. caviae). They appear to be a related family (molecular of mass of pilin 19 to 23 kDa) with a tendency to bundle-formation. Hence, we have designated them 'bundle-forming pili' (Bfp). A type IV pilus biogenesis gene cluster (tapABCD) recently cloned from a strain of A. hydrophila, however, encoded a 17 kDa pilin which differed significantly in its N-terminal amino acid sequence from the Bfp pilins. This paper describes the cloning of part (tapA and similar to 20% of tapB) of a homologous pilin gene cluster from a Bfp-positive strain of A. veronii biovar sobria, and presents evidence that the entire pilin gene cluster (tapABCD) is present in this strain. The predicted N-terminal amino acid sequence of the pilin encoded by the A. veronii biovar sobria tapA differed markedly from the corresponding sequence of its Bfp pilin, and those of the Bfp purified from other Aeromonas strains and species. Probing with tapA and tapD genes showed that these Bfp-positive Aeromonas strains also possessed the Tap gene cluster. TapA proteins of A. veronii biovar sobria and A. hydrophila shared 53% identity and 63% homology. We conclude that Aeromonas species are potentially able to express at least two distinct families of type IV pili (Bfp and Tap).

T1  - The significance of drained fish ponds for wintering waterbirds at the Mai Po Marshes, Hong Kong
AN  - 16219952; 4219437
AB  - The wetland around Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay is the largest in Hong Kong and is a mosaic of mudflats, traditional shrimp ponds and fish ponds. Because of the large number of wintering waterbirds at the site (68,000 in 1995-1996), a 1500-ha area has been listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. This study aims to assess the importance of fish ponds as a waterbird feeding habitat, especially when the ponds are drained in winter for harvesting. The waterbirds focused on were the endangered Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor (Collar et al. 1994), Little Egret Egretta garzetta, Great Egret Egretta alba and Grey Heron Ardea cinerea. To assess the relative importance of draining ponds for target waterbirds, the number of birds using the ponds was compared with the total number wintering in Deep Bay.

T1  - Phenotypic and genotypic changes in Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal
AN  - 16109181; 4211136
AB  - To find reasons for the recent decline of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal cholera in Bangladesh, phenotypic and genotypic changes in O139 isolates obtained from patients with cholera from 1993 to 1996 were studied. The isolates were tested for the presence of ctx and tcpA genes, hemagglutinin/protease (HA/P), capsule, D-mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA), L-fucose-sensitive hemagglutinin (FSHA), tube test (tube) and CAMP test (CAMP) hemolytic activities, resistance to 2,4-diamino-6,7-diisopropyl pteridine (O/129) and trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), and genotype by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). All isolates possessed ctx and tcpA genes, HA/P, and a capsule. Most isolates were negative for FSHA, but although the majority of the isolates were positive for MSHA, no discernible trend in the activity was found during the study period. All early isolates were CAMP hemolysin positive and resistant to the vibriostatic compound O/129 and TMP-SMX, the two properties that could be used for the presumptive diagnosis of O139 cholera. However, subsequently, isolates that were CAMP hemolysin negative and susceptible to TMP-SMX and O/129 were increasingly encountered, with all the 1996 isolates being so, which suggested that these properties can no longer be used for the presumptive diagnosis of O139 cholera. V. cholerae O139 isolates that were CAMP hemolysin positive and resistant to O/129 and TMP-SMX produced a disease of greater severity than that caused by the CAMP hemolysin-negative and susceptible isolates on the basis of the lengths of stay of the hospitalized patients. The study period witnessed the evolution of four different genotypes by PFGE. All of these data suggested that the V. cholerae O139 isolates have undergone changes in some properties. However, how these changes influenced their prevalence relative to that of V. cholerae O1 in human infection is not clear. Studies of the environmental factors will provide the key for an understanding of the relative abundance of these vibrios.

T1  - The effect of lorazepam on long-term verbal recall in heavy and light social drinkers
AN  - 16101360; 4205962
AB  - Two experiments investigated long-term verbal memory performance in groups of 20-year-old heavy (HSDs) and light social drinkers (LSDs), in the presence and absence of a pharmacological challenge (lorazepam 2 mg). In Experiment 1, a verbal learning task was presented visually and it was found that lorazepam significantly impaired delayed verbal recall performance in both groups. Experiment 2 assessed the effect of presenting the verbal learning task in the auditory compared to the visual modality. Both groups' performance on the delayed trials of the visually presented task was reduced in the lorazepam treatment. However, in the auditory presented task, lorazepam reduced 30-min delayed recall performance in the HSDs but not in the LSDs. The differential effect of lorazepam on HSDs compared to LSDs on delayed recall performance when material is presented in the auditory modality may suggest that frequent heavy social drinking results in changes in CNS functioning.

T1  - Thyroid Hormones and Cytogenetic Outcomes in Backpack Sprayers Using Ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (EBDC) Fungicides in Mexico
AN  - 14472669; 10544853
AB  - Using Mexican backpack sprayers applying ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (EBDC) fungicides to tomatoes, a group of lesser exposed landowners, and a nonexposed population, the possible cytogenetic and thyrotoxic effects of EBDC fungicides were investigated. The biological sampling protocol is outlined. Results found that urinary ethylene thiourea levels clearly distinguished between the three exposure groups. Age-adjusted thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were significantly increased in the applicators compared to controls and were nonsignificantly increased compared to the landowners, suggesting a dose response. No significant effects were found in terms of thyroxine levels. In addition, applicators exhibited significantly increased sister chromatid exchanges, and chromosome translocations were significantly elevated in both applicators and landowners.

T1  - Cadmium Burden of Men and Women Who Report Regular Consumption of Confectionery Sunflower Kernels Containing a Natural Abundance of Cadmium
AN  - 14471738; 10544850
AB  - WHO recommendations cite a provisional tolerable weekly intake of 490 mu g of cadmium for a person weighing 70 kg. A consistent intake of 1 oz of sunflower kernels can increase the average consumption of Cd to about 235 mu g/week. In North Dakota and Minnesota, the impact of the consumption of confectionery sunflower kernels on the Cd burden in recruited men and women was studied. The subjects were divided into two categories: those who reported consuming 1 oz of the kernels/week over the past year, and those who had consumed less than 1 oz. Dietary Cd intake was determined by data-base calculations of the Cd content of foods reported by individuals in a 7-d food diary. Results showed that women who consumed more than 1 oz of sunflower kernel/week had Cd intakes not significantly different than controls. In men, however, the Cd intakes were nearly twice as high as the controls. The amount of Cd in whole blood or red blood cells did not appear to be affected by Cd intake, nor did the urinary excretion of Cd.

T1  - Children with Moderately Elevated Blood Lead Levels: A Role for Other Diagnostic Tests?
AN  - 14470769; 10544848
AB  - Results are presented from a study that examined the potential limitations of relying exclusively on blood lead levels to determine the need for chelation therapy in children with moderately elevated blood Pb levels. An attempt was made to define subgroups of exposed children by combining measures of Pb exposure, erythrocyte protoporphyrin, and drug-responsiveness. The assessment was made by analyzing data obtained from children who had completed the Pb mobilization test in the Bronx and lower Westchester County, NY. Results showed that, in children with moderately elevated blood Pb levels, the toxicity and complete blood count indices were useful adjuncts in predicting the responsiveness of chelation therapy. Children with either an erythrocyte protoporphyrin level of less than 0.62 mu mol/l, mean corpuscular hemoglobin less than 23 pg, mean corpuscular volume less than 70 fl, or hemoglobin less than 106 g/l were found to be less likely to respond to drug treatment.

AB  - Relatively high concentrations of inorganic arsenic in drinking water have been associated with disorders of the skin and cancers of the bladder, liver, lung, kidney, and colon. The issues central to risk assessment of As are outlined, including the regulatory procedures and default assumptions used for risk assessment. Considered are how US regulatory agencies estimate cancer risk and the limitations of information on As in terms of the biological mechanisms of As toxicity and the existing epidemiological studies. The recommendations of the As Task Force of the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health in support of risk assessment are summarized.

T1  - Empirical Modeling of an in Vitro Activity of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Congeners and Mixtures
AN  - 14469954; 10544851
AB  - In an in vitro test system with different PCB congeners and PCB mixtures, the effects on protein kinase translocation were determined by measuring the radiolabeled phorbol ester binding in cerebellar granule cells. The data were interpreted using a nonlinear doseresponse exponential model, which allowed for the minimum level to be less than the control, a common slope, and an estimation of the log of the concentration that produced an activity 50% above the control activity for 36 congeners and three commercial PCB mixtures. The modeling protocol is detailed. Modeling results suggested that congeners with one, two, or three chlorine substitutions at the ortho position were more active than other congeners. More activity was also observed for congeners with log octanolwater partition coefficients ranging 5.26.6.

T1  - The Semi-Individual Study in Air Pollution Epidemiology: a Valid Design as Compared to Ecological Studies
AN  - 14469941; 10544847
AB  - Given that epidemiologic studies evaluate causality only indirectly through proxy exposures of varying specificity, it becomes important to have specific guidelines to infer the causality. Since the controversial question of causal inference from epidemiologic studies that assess the impact of normal ambient air pollution is important in the policy and public-health arena, the definition of truly ecologic studies is defined, and the term, semi-individual study, is introduced for a widely used type of air-pollution study. In a semi-individual design, a broad range of individual-level data is available. This study type comprises individual-level air-pollution studies with ecologic-exposure assignment to more readily permit valid inference to individuals.

T1  - Pesticides and Childhood Cancers
AN  - 14469903; 10544846
AB  - While there have been a number of epidemiologic studies on the relationship between pesticide exposures and the risk of childhood cancer, the potential mechanisms remain speculative. The methods and results of published studies of occupational and residential pesticide use and the risk of these cancers are reviewed. The characteristics of the studies, which have considered cancers of the brain and central nervous system and leukemia, are tabulated. While many of the studies suggest an association between certain exposures and certain cancers, future epidemiologic research needs to incorporate methodologic improvements, which are discussed, in order to confirm and further define any associations.

T1  - Hair Analysis Does Not Support Hypothesized Arsenic and Chromium Exposure from Drinking Water in Woburn, Massachusetts
AN  - 14469658; 10544849
AB  - Elevated levels of arsenic and chromium have been detected in two municipal drinking-water wells in Woburn, MA. Results are presented from a study that compared As and Cr concentrations in hair samples of residents with estimates of each donor's access to water from the two impacted wells. A model of the Woburn water-distribution system was used to estimate access to the wells. The arithmetic mean concentrations of As and Cr in the hair of residents who did not have access to water from the two wells were 0.22 and 2.82 mu g/g, respectively, while those in residents with access were 0.21 and 2.80 mu g/g, respectively. The possible causes of these findings are elucidated and examined. Even though elevated concentrations were not observed in the study, As concentrations in the hair samples were found to have changed over time, decreasing over the past 50 yr.

T1  - Reproductive Toxins and Alligator Abnormalities at Lake Apopka, Florida
AN  - 14469262; 10544844
AB  - During a review of sampling reports and inventory documents for Lake Apopka, FL, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention became aware of two other reproductive toxins in alligators other than DDT. These were the nematocides, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane and ethylene dibromide. The historical monitoring records regarding these toxins are analyzed, showing that the complex exposure scenario presented at the lake cannot be reconstructed with certainty.

AN  - 62552011; ED412282
AB  - The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a random digit dial telephone survey of households developed by the National Center for Education Statistics. It has been conducted in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1996, with varying components each year. The NHES 91/93/95/96 CD-ROM contains an electronic codebook (ECB) program that, after being installed on a personal computer, allows the user to examine the variables in each of the NHES data sets as well as create Statistical Analysis System (SAS) or Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) programs to generate an extract data file for any of the NHES data files on the CD-ROM. The files include the 1991 and 1995 Adult Education files, the primary and preprimary education files from 1991, the school readiness and school safety files from 1993, the 1995 early childhood program participation file, and the 1996 household and library, parent and family involvement in education and civic involvement, youth civic involvement, and adult civic involvement files. The ECB is a DOS-based program for IBM-compatible personal computers. Sections describe its contents and use, focusing on what can be done with the ECB and how to do it. Emphasis is on extracting information from the files. Eight appendixes provide specific use information and samples, including SAS and SPSS samples. (SLD)

T1  - The Social Context of Education. Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1997," No. 10.
AN  - 62551820; ED413396
AB  - Data from "The Condition of Education, 1997" are used to show how changes over time in the composition of students in terms of factors such as student English language proficiency, family income, parents' education, and family structure affect the social context of education. This report traces associations between these student-level social factors and different indicators of educational access and progress. For each factor, the report shows changes over time and how the factor affects various racial and ethnic groups. The following factors are considered: (1) student background; (2) changes in the social background of children; (3) the social context of public schools; (4) learning environment in high and low poverty schools; and (5) resource equity across high and low poverty schools. Findings indicate: the structure of families is shifting away from the two-parent family, and the percentage of children of minority background is increasing, as is the percentage of children who have difficulty speaking English; median family income has been relatively stagnant over the past 25 years, and the poverty rate has changed very little; and Black and Hispanic children are still more likely to live in poverty, and to attend schools with a high level of poverty. On the positive side, more children live in home with more educated parents than a few decades ago, and parent education level is a strong predictor of student achievement. Changes in social context present challenges schools must address to enhance their effectiveness and ensure educational progress. (Contains nine figures and seven tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Public and Private Schools: How Do They Differ? Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1997," No. 12.
AN  - 62546956; ED411593
AB  - Because private schools are often perceived to be more successful in teaching students, many reform proposals for public schools have looked to the private sector for models to emulate. This booklet contains national data that compare public and private schools along a number of important dimensions. The discussion begins with an examination of two fundamental differences between public and private schools: their sources of support and the role of choice in determining where students go to school. Next is a description of the characteristics of teachers and students and how they differ in the public and private sectors. Following that is a comparison of selected aspects of the organization and management of public and private schools, including school and class size and who makes policy decisions for the school and classroom. Next, the varying circumstances under which teaching and learning take place in public and private schools (the school climate) are examined. The final sections describe differences in academic programs and support services. Although there is much variation within each sector, aggregate data show that public school students present their schools with greater challenges than do their private school counterparts. Overall, teachers in public schools are more likely than their private school counterparts to have certain attributes that are thought to contribute to effective teaching. Public school teachers earn more and receive more benefits. Despite poorer pay, private school teachers as a group are more satisfied than public school teachers with their jobs. Finally, private school students take more advanced courses than do public high school students. Eight figures and 16 tables are included. (Contains 25 references). (LMI)

T1  - Degrees and Other Awards Conferred by Institutions of Higher Education: 1994-95. E.D.Tabs.
AN  - 62546174; ED412860
AB  - This report presents data on the degrees conferred by the nation's accredited institutions of higher education. The report is based on the 1994-95 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System's "Completion" survey of approximately 3,500 institutions within the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Highlights of the report include: 2.2 million degrees were awarded during the year (an increase of 0.5 percent over the previous year) of which 52.3 percent were bachelor's degrees; the majority of degrees were awarded by public institutions; the majority of degrees awarded at the master's level and below were to women; three-quarters of all degrees were awarded to white students, 17.2 percent to minority students, and 7.8 percent to nonresident aliens (although nonresident aliens received 25 percent of all doctoral degrees); the share of degrees awarded to minorities was highest at the associate degree level and dropped at each successive degree level; and over 19 percent of first-professional degrees were awarded to minorities; almost one-fifth of all bachelor's degrees were in business management/administrative services; degrees in math and science comprised only 2.8 percent at the bachelor's level, but over 20 percent at the doctoral level. A glossary is included. (DB)

T1  - Current Funds Revenues and Expenditures of Institutions of Higher Education: Fiscal Years 1987 through 1995. E.D. Tabs.
AN  - 62545401; ED412817
AB  - This report presents revenue and expenditure data for accredited college-level institutions of higher education in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for fiscal years 1987-1995. Data is based on the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Finance survey. Revenue data for both private and public institutions include source of revenue, such as tuition and fees, and state appropriations. Expenditure data cover instruction, research, and public service; there are separate schedules for salary and scholarship/grant data. Highlights of the report include the following: (1) in fiscal year 1995 the largest source of revenue for state institutions was state appropriations; tuition and fees were the second largest; (2) increases in both revenues and expenditures have outpaced inflation for both public and private institutions; (3) public institutions allocate approximately one-third of expenditures for instruction and 10 percent for research, while private institutions allocate about 27 percent of expenditures to instruction and less than 8 percent to research; (4) both public and private two-year institutions receive a higher percentage of revenue from tuition and fees than four-year institutions; and (5) distribution of expenditures for public four-year institutions does not appear to be a function of state location. Appended to the report are a glossary and a section on survey methodology. (CH)

T1  - Postsecondary Persistence and Attainment. Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1997," No. 13.
AN  - 62544773; ED412859
AB  - This booklet summarizes data on the persistence and attainment outcomes of students in postsecondary education and the enrollment factors related to these outcomes. The primary data describe students, as of 1994, who began their postsecondary education in the 1989-90 academic year. Additional data describe postsecondary education experiences of 1980 high school sophomores 10 years after their expected graduation and the experiences of 16- to 24-year-olds from the 1970s to the 1990s. Generally, the evidence suggests: that students who attend school part time and work full time are less likely to complete their degree in a timely fashion than full-time students; that students enrolling in a 4-year institution immediately following high school are more likely to attain a bachelor's degree within five years than students taking other routes; and that bachelor's degree seekers who did or did not receive financial aid persisted and attained at similar rates. The report's major findings are reported in sections on: postsecondary access, postsecondary outcomes, degree objective, type of institution, timing of enrollment, enrollment intensity and continuity, financial aid, and working while enrolled.

T1  - Characteristics and Attitudes of Instructional Faculty and Staff in the Humanities. 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). E.D. Tabs.
AN  - 62544332; ED412820
AB  - The report focuses on the demographic characteristics, employment characteristics, workload, productivity, compensation, and attitudes of full-time instructional faculty teaching humanities at 4-year institutions of higher education in the fall of 1992. Data tables cover the humanities generally and specific program areas of English and literature, foreign languages, history, and philosophy and religion. Comparisons are made between humanities faculty and faculty in business, law, and communications; natural sciences and engineering; and social sciences and education. Among the highlights noted are the following: (1) faculty holding the rank of full professor varies by discipline; (2) while about one-half of faculty in English and foreign languages were female, only 24 percent in history and 13 percent in philosophy and religion were; (3) a higher percentage of faculty in humanities reported teaching as a principal activity than those in natural or social sciences and education; and (4) humanities faculty were more likely to report dissatisfaction with their workload than faculty business and communications, natural or social sciences, and education. Appendixes include technical notes, standard error tables, and the faculty questionnaire used.(CH)

T1  - Data File Users Manual. Volume IV. Youth Civic Involvement Data File. National Household Education Survey of 1996. User's Manual.
AN  - 62541635; ED411329
AB  - The 1996 National Household Education Survey (NHES:96) was a random digit dial telephone survey of households developed by the National Center for Education Statistics and conducted by Westat, Inc. The 1996 NHES included two topical survey components: Parent and Family Involvement in Education and Civic Involvement. This manual provides documentation and guidance for users of the public release data file for the Youth Civic Involvement (CI) component of the 1996 NHES. Students in grades 6 though 12 responded to these CI items. The volume contains a description of the Youth CI data file and a discussion of data considerations and anomalies. This volume is meant to be read in conjunction with the "NHES:96 Data File User's Manual, Volume I," which contains more information about the entire study, its design, and implementation. The Youth CI data file contains data from all completed Youth CI interviews. Since there are 3 records for each youth interview, the file contains 24,129 records for the 8,043 cases. The file is organized so that logically related sets of variables are grouped together. Data files are listed as follows: (1) system variables; (2) household membership variables; (3) questionnaire item variables; (4) household characteristics variables; (5) derived variables; (6) weighting and variance estimation variables; and (7) imputation flag variables. Four appendixes contain the public file layout, the Statistical Analysis System code for creating derived variables, the codebook for the Youth CI file, and directions and sample codes for linking NHES:96 data files.

T1  - National Household Education Survey of 1996: Data File User's Manual, Volume I.
AN  - 62536992; ED412279
AB  - The 1996 National Household Education Survey (NHES:96) was a random digit dial telephone survey of households that was developed by the National Center for Education Statistics and conducted by Westat, Inc. The NHES:96 included two topical survey components, "Parent and Family Involvement in Education," (PFI) which collected data about family involvement in children's schooling, and "Civic Involvement," (CI) which collected data about participation in civic activities and attitudes toward government. This manual provides documentation and guidance for users of the four public release data files of the NHES:96: the Household and Library File, the PFI and CI files, the Youth Civic Involvement file, and the Adult Civic Involvement File. Volume I contains information about the purpose of the study, the data collection instruments, the sample design, and data collection and data processing procedures. Volumes II through V each contain a guide to the data file and its codebook, a discussion of data considerations and anomalies, and, in appendixes, the file layout and additional information. This volume contains the following sections: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Description of Data Collection Instruments"; (3) "Sample Design and Implementation"; (4) "Data Collection Methods and Response Rates"; and (5) "Data Preparation." An appendix presents the screener for the four files. (Contains 1 figure, 17 tables and 25 references.) (SLD)

T1  - Directory of Public Elementary and Secondary Education Agencies, 1994-95.
AN  - 62535328; ED411594
AB  - One of the major responsibilities of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is to report on the condition of public elementary and secondary education in the United States. In support of this mission, NCES collects from state education agencies selected data items about all the public elementary and secondary schools and education agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Information is also provided by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) on its dependents schools overseas. The NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) surveys annually collect information on the universe of public schools and education agencies. This publication presents data primarily from the spring 1995 CCD survey. The introduction contains several tables that provide an overview of the patterns of elementary/secondary education agencies within the reporting states. They are followed by the listing of education agencies, organized by state and type of agency. The directory lists all reported public elementary/secondary education agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the five outlying areas, and the DOD. Six tables are included. Appendices contain the addresses of state education agencies and samples of the education-agency survey form and the school-universe survey form. (LMI)

T1  - Women in Mathematics and Science. Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1997," No. 11.
AN  - 62534522; ED412137
AB  - This report reviews the most current data on women's progress in mathematics and science achievement, attitudes, course-taking patterns, and college majors. Results of recent studies suggest that many factors such as parental encouragement, teacher preparation, teacher student interactions, curriculum content, hands-on laboratory experiences, self-concept, attitudes toward mathematics and science, availability of mentors, and home resources contribute to the attitudes, access, and achievement of young women in mathematics and science. The research cited here suggests that the gender gap in science and mathematics in the United States appears at Grade 10 while internationally the gap appears around Grade 8. Despite this, there are still substantial differences between women and men in mathematics, computer science, engineering and science fields. Contains 29 references. (DDR)

T1  - Federal Support for Education. Fiscal Years 1980 to 1997.
AN  - 62534458; ED412287
AB  - This report attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of total federal financial support for education since fiscal year 1980. Programs from agencies other than the Department of Education are included if they have significant educational components. To the extent possible, outlays were used in this report rather than obligations, with the exception of funds for academic research at institutions of higher education. Federal education funding is divided into on-budget funding, off-budget funding, and nonfederal funds generated by federal programs, and current and constant dollar comparisons were used to the extent possible. In fiscal year 1997, federal support for education, excluding estimated federal tax expenditures, was an estimated $100.5 billion, an increase of $37.7 billion since 1990. On-budget federal funds for education programs were estimated at $73.1 billion, an increase of 42% since fiscal year 1990 in current dollars, or of 16% after being adjusted for inflation. In fiscal year 1997, education outlays totaled $31.1 billion, reflecting an increase of 22% after being adjusted for inflation. Almost 58% of federal education support, excluding estimated federal income tax expenditures, went to educational institutions in fiscal year 1997. Schools and colleges derived 10% of their fiscal year 1997 revenues from the federal government, with the remaining revenues from state and local governments, individuals, and private organizations. This represented a decline from the 14% federal share of fiscal year 1980. Six appendixes provide detailed tables of federal support funds. (Contains nine tables and three figures.) (SLD)

T1  - Instructional Faculty and Staff in Higher Education Institutions: Fall 1987 and Fall 1992. 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62528532; ED412888
AB  - This report compares findings from faculty surveys conducted as part of the 1987-88 National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty, which is limited to faculty and staff with instructional responsibilities, and the 1992-93 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, which includes instructional as well as noninstructional faculty. In particular, the report examines faculty composition (employment and tenure status, academic rank, highest degree, and social/demographic characteristics); work requirements (workweek, time allocation, instructional workload, research productivity, workload satisfaction); and salaries (overall compensation, by source of income, and satisfaction with salary and benefits). Some of the changes from 1987 to 1992 highlighted by the report include: an increase in the percentage of part-time instructional faculty; no change in the percentage of faculty who held the rank of full professor; a decline in the percentage of tenured faculty; some "aging" of both faculty and staff; an increase of 6 percent in female faculty; little change in the percentage of white, full time faculty; less satisfaction with workloads; a fairly constant level of research productivity; little change in the overall duration of the work week; and salaries keeping pace with inflation. The four appendices include supplementary tables, technical notes, standard error tables and survey questionnaires. (LEE)

T1  - A Guide To Using Data from the National Household Education Survey (NHES). User's Guide.
AN  - 62526813; ED411328
AB  - This guide provides users of the National Household Education Survey (NHES) data with suggested techniques for working with the data files. Special attention is paid to topics that will help users avoid the most commonly made mistakes in working with NHES data. The guide is meant to be an introduction and an overview, and not a substitute for the separate user's manuals and other reports. The NHES is a data collection system of the National Center for Education Statistics that provides descriptive data on the educational activities of the U.S. population and offers policymakers, researchers, and educators a variety of statistics on the condition of education in the United States. The primary purpose of the NHES is to collect repeated measurements of the same phenomena at different points in time, but one-time surveys of topics of interest may be fielded. The NHES is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States, and households are selected using random digit dialing methods. The NHES has been conducted in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1996. This guide contains the following sections: (1) introduction and overview; (2) brief descriptions of the separate NHES data files; (3) comparisons with other data sets; (4) familiarization with the data and descriptions of data collection and processing; (5) selecting variables for working data sets; (6) NHES design; (7) working with missing data; and (8) weights and estimation procedures. Appendixes contain commonly asked questions and answers, examples that illustrate points in the text, and a summary of weighting and sample variance estimation variables. (Contains 10 references.)

T1  - Cutting Grass: In Search of the Australian Male
AN  - 61529446; 199803028
AB  - Draws on personal experiences as a family court counselor to examine the sociological, historical, & metaphorical aspects of what defines Australian men's self-identities, drawing an analogy with the weekend ritual of lawn mowing. It is noted that Australian men cut their grass extremely short while American men allow it to grow long, suggesting a lesser need to control their environment. Australian men tend to define their relationships in terms of an absence of negatives, rather than in terms of positives, revealing a self-image based on historical, cultural, environmental, & gender influences that make them unique. Poems are presented that underpin the discussion. 10 References. J. Lindroth

T1  - Discussion Paper: Inside the Pyramid: Towards a Conceptual Framework for the Analysis of Regulatory Systems
AN  - 61455001; 9803889
AB  - Builds on Ian Ayres & John Braithwaite's (1992) study on regulation depicting a pyramid that represents the range of instruments available to the state, by incorporating regulated entities & their industry associations, as well as public interest institutions & commercial actors. The resulting three-dimensional pyramid, or prism, has three faces: the state regulatory apparatus, target of regulation, & third parties. It is argued that Ayres & Braithwaite's pyramid fails to represent the interactive nature of regulatory life that the prism accomplishes. It is concluded that the prism allows analysis of any location within its confines, thereby making it amenable to quantitative representation. 2 Figures, 8 References. M. Greenberg

T1  - Chemical characterization and reactivity of iron chelator-treated amphibole asbestos.
AN  - 21267984; 11703702
AB  - Iron in amphibole asbestos is implicated in the pathogenicity of inhaled fibers. Evidence includes the observation that iron chelators can suppress fiber-induced tissue damage. This is believed to occur via the diminished production of fiber-associated reactive oxygen species. The purpose of this study was to explore possible mechanisms for the reduction of fiber toxicity by iron chelator treatments. We studied changes in the amount and the oxidation states of bulk and surface iron in crocidolite and amosite asbestos that were treated with iron-chelating desferrioxamine, ferrozine, sodium ascorbate, and phosphate buffer solutions. The results have been compared with the ability of the fibers to produce free radicals and decompose hydrogen peroxide in a cell-free system in vitro. We found that chelators can affect the amount of iron at the surface of the asbestos fibers and its valence, and that they can modify the chemical reactivity of these surfaces. However, we found no obvious or direct correlations between fiber reactivity and the amount of iron removed, the amount of iron at the fiber surface, or the oxidation state of surface iron. Our results suggest that surface Fe3+ ions may play a role in fiber-related carboxylate radical formation, and that desferrioxamine and phosphate groups detected at treated fiber surfaces may play a role in diminishing and enhancing, respectively, fiber redox activity. It is proposed that iron mobility in the silicate structure may play a larger role in the chemical reactivity of asbestos than previously assumed.

T1  - Susceptibility of p53-deficient mice to induction of mesothelioma by crocidolite asbestos fibers.
AN  - 21267957; 11703699
AB  - Exposure of mesothelial cells to asbestos fibers in vitro has been shown to induce DNA damage mediated by oxidants. An early cellular response to DNA damage is increased expression of the p53 protein. This protein induces transcription of genes that activate cell cycle checkpoints or induce apoptosis. A murine mesothelial cell line that spontaneously acquired a point mutation in the p53 gene shows increased sensitivity to DNA damage induced by crocidolite asbestos fibers. It is hypothesized that p53-deficient mice will show increased sensitivity to the genotoxic effects of asbestos and accelerated development of malignant mesotheliomas.

T1  - Demonstration of nitric oxide on asbestos and silicon carbide fibers with a new ultraviolet spectrophotometric assay.
AN  - 21261089; 11702120
AB  - Nitric oxide (NO) has a number of important functions in biological systems and may play a role in the toxicity of mineral fibers. We investigated whether NO might be present on the surface of mineral fibers and if crocidolite could adsorb NO from NO gas or cigarette smoke. NO was determined with a new gas chromatography-ultraviolet spectrophotometric technique after thermal desorption from the fiber surface and injection in a gas flow cell. NO was found in different amounts on chrysotile B, crocidolite, amosite, and silicon carbide whiskers. There was a strong correlation between the amount of NO and the specific surface area of these fibers (r = 0.98). NO could not be demonstrated on rockwool fibers [man-made vitreous fiber(s) (MMVF)21 and MMVF22] or silicon nitride whiskers. NO on crocidolite, amosite, and silicon carbide whiskers was readily desorbed from the fibers at increased temperature, while NO on chrysotile B seemed to be more firmly adsorbed to the fiber and required a longer period of time to be desorbed. The amount of NO bound to crocidolite increased from 34 micrograms/g fiber to 85 and 474 micrograms/g after exposing the fibers to cigarette smoke and NO gas, respectively. These findings indicate that a) NO adsorbs to fiber surfaces, b) some fibers adsorb more NO than others, c) some fibers adsorb NO more strongly than others, and d) the amounts of NO on fibers may be increased after exposure of the fiber to cigarette smoke or other sources of NO. The biological significance of NO on mineral fibers remains to be investigated. Images Figure 3.

T1  - Neutrophils amplify the formation of DNA adducts by benzo[a]pyrene in lung target cells.
AN  - 21261072; 11701818
AB  - Inflammatory cells and their reactive oxygen metabolites can cause mutagenic effects in lung cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of activated neutrophils to modulate DNA binding of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a known carcinogen, in lung target cells. Equivalent numbers of rat lung epithelial cells (RLE-6TN cell line) and freshly isolated human blood neutrophils (PMN) were coincubated in vitro for 2 hr after addition of benzo[a]pyrene (0.5 microM) or two of its trans-diol metabolites, with or without stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). DNA adducts of B[a]P-metabolites were determined in target cells using 32P-postlabeling; oxidative DNA damage (7-hydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-oxodG]) was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Increased DNA adducts were observed in lung cells coincubated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Activation of PMN with PMA, or addition of more activated PMN in relation to the number of lung cells, further increased the number of adducts, the latter in a dose-response manner. Incubation with B[a]P-4,5-diol did not result in any adduct formation, while B[a]P-7,8-diol led to a significant number of adducts. Moreover, PMA-activated PMN strongly enhanced adduct formation by B[a]P-7,8-diol, but not 8-oxodG, in lung cells. The addition of antioxidants to the coincubations significantly reduced the number of adducts. Results suggest that an inflammatory response in the lung may increase the biologically effective dose of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and may be relevant to data interpretation and risk assessment of PAH-containing particulates.

T1  - Alveolar macrophage interaction with air pollution particulates.
AN  - 21257940; 11703700
AB  - We applied flow cytometric analysis to characterize the in vitro response of alveolar macrophages (AM) to air pollution particulates. Normal hamster AM were incubated with varying concentrations of residual oil fly ash (ROFA) or concentrated ambient air particulates (CAP). We found a dose-dependent increase in AM-associated right angle light scatter (RAS) after uptake of ROFA (e.g., mean channel number 149.4 +/- 6.5, 102.5 +/- 4.1, 75.8 +/- 3.5, and 61.0 +/- 4.6 at 200, 100, 50, and 25 mg/ml, respectively) or CAP. A role for scavenger-type receptors (SR) in AM uptake of components of ROFA and CAP was identified by marked inhibition of RAS increases in AM pretreated with the specific SR inhibitor polyinosinic acid. We combined measurement of particle uptake (RAS) with flow cytometric analysis of intracellular oxidation of dichlorofluorescin. Both ROFA and CAP caused a dose-related intracellular oxidant stress within AM, comparable to that seen with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (e.g., fold increase over control, 6.6 +/- 0.4, 3.6 +/- 0.4, 4.6 +/- 0.5, 200 mg/ml ROFA, 100 mg/ml ROFA, and 10(-7) M PMA, respectively). We conclude that flow cytometry of RAS increases provides a useful relative measurement of AM uptake of complex particulates within ROFA and CAP. Both ROFA and CAP cause substantial intracellular oxidant stress within AM, which may contribute to subsequent cell activation and production of proinflammatory mediators.

T1  - In vivo and in vitro proinflammatory effects of particulate air pollution (PM10).
AN  - 21255778; 11704948
AB  - Epidemiologic studies have reported associations between fine particulate air pollution, especially particles less than 10 mm in diameter (PM10), and the development of exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the mechanism is unknown. We tested our hypothesis that PM10 induces oxidant stress, causing inflammation and injury to airway epithelium. We assessed the effects of intratracheal instillation of PM10 in rat lungs. The influx of inflammatory cells was measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Airspace epithelial permeability was assessed as total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in vivo. The oxidant properties of PM10 were determined by their ability to cause changes in reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). We also compared the effects of PM10 with those of fine (CB) and ultrafine (ufCB) carbon black particles. Six hours after intratracheal instillation of PM10, we noted an influx of neutrophils (up to 15% of total BAL cells) in the alveolar space, increased epithelial permeability, an increase in total protein in BALF from 0.39 +/- 0.01 to 0.62 +/- 0.01 mg/ml (mean +/- SEM) and increased lactate dehydrogenase concentrations in BALF. An even greater inflammatory response was observed after intratracheal instillation of ufCB, but not after CB instillation. PM10 had oxidant activity in vivo, as shown by decreased GSH in BALF (from 0.36 +/- 0.05 to 0.25 +/- 0.01 nmol/ml) after instillation. BAL leukocytes from rats treated with PM10 produced greater amounts of nitric oxide, measured as nitrite (control 3.07 +/- 0.33, treated 4.45 +/- 0.23 mM/1 x 10(6) cells) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (control 21.0 +/- 3.1, treated 179.2 +/- 29.4 unit/1 x 10(6) cells) in culture than BAL leukocytes obtained from control animals. These studies provide evidence that PM10 has free radical activity and causes lung inflammation and epithelial injury. These data support our hypothesis concerning the mechanism for the adverse effects of particulate air pollution on patients with airway diseases.

T1  - Chronic inhalation study of fiber glass and amosite asbestos in hamsters: twelve-month preliminary results.
AN  - 21253923; 11701816
AB  - The effects of chronic inhalation of glass fibers and amosite asbestos are currently under study in hamsters. The study includes 18 months of inhalation exposure followed by lifetime recovery. Syrian golden hamsters are exposed, nose only, for 6 hr/day, 5 day/week to size-selected test fibers: MMVF10a (Schuller 901 insulation glass); MMVF33 (Schuller 475 durable glass); amosite asbestos (three doses); or to filtered air (controls). Here we report interim results on airborne fiber characterization, lung fiber burden, and pathology (preliminary) through 12 months. Aerosolized test fibers averaged 15 to 20 microns in length and 0.5 to 1 micron in diameter. Target aerosol concentrations of World Health Organization (WHO) fibers (longer than 5 microns) were 250 fibers/cc for MMVF10a and MMVF33, and 25, 125, or 250 fibers/cc for amosite. WHO fiber lung burdens showed time-dependent and (for amosite) dose-dependent increases. After a 12-month exposure, lung burdens of fibers longer than 20 microns were greatest with amosite high and mid doses, similar for low-dose amosite and MMVF33, and smaller for MMVF10a. Biological responses of animals exposed for 12 months to MMVF10a were limited to nonspecific pulmonary inflammation. However, exposures to MMVF33 and each of three doses of amosite were associated with lung fibrosis and possible mesotheliomas (1 with MMVF33 and 2, 3, and 1 with amosite low, mid, and high doses, respectively). Pulmonary and pleural changes associated with amosite were qualitatively and quantitatively more severe than those associated with MMVF33. As of the 12-month time point, this study demonstrates that two different fiber glass compositions with similar fiber dimensions but different durabilities can have distinctly different effects on the hamster lung and pleura after inhalation exposure. (Preliminary tumor data through 18 months of exposure and 6 weeks of postexposure recovery became available as this manuscript went to press: No tumors were observed in the control or MMVF10a groups, and no additional tumors were observed in the MMVF33 group; however, a number of additional mesotheliomas were observed in the amosite groups.

T1  - Silica-induced apoptosis in alveolar and granulomatous cells in vivo.
AN  - 21253465; 11701811
AB  - Silica is a toxicant that can stimulate cells to produce various cellular products such as free radicals, cytokines, and growth factors. Silica and its induced substances may induce apoptosis to regulate the evolution of silica-induced inflammation and fibrosis. To examine this hypothesis, groups of Wistar male rats were intratracheally instilled with different doses of Min-U-Sil 5 silica (Silica, Berkeley Springs, WV). Ten days after the instillation, we obtained cells by bronchoalveolar lavage and placed them on slides by cytospin preparation. The slides were stained with Diff-Quik (Lab Aids, Sydney, NSW, Australia) and examined under oil immersion. A substantial number of cells with apoptotic features were identified in all silica-instilled rats and the apoptosis was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The number of apoptotic cells was clearly related to silica dosage. Engulfment of apoptotic cells by macrophages was also noted. Neutrophil influx in silica-instilled rats could be saturated with the increase of silica dosage and the number of macrophages in different dose groups changed in parallel with the proportion of apoptotic cells. Fifty-six days after instillation, morphologically apoptotic cells could be identified in granulomatous cells of lung tissue from silica-instilled rats. We conclude that intratracheal instillation of silica could induce apoptosis in both alveolar and granulomatous cells, and the apoptotic change and subsequent engulfment by macrophages might play a role in the evolution of silica-induced effects.

T1  - Significance of the biodurability of man-made vitreous fibers to risk assessment.
AN  - 21251529; 11701814
AB  - It is generally agreed that the biodurability of man-made vitreous fibers is a major factor for the characterization of potential health effects. As there is currently no standardization of experimental protocols to determine biodurabilty, the results of the clearance assays have not been used up to now for regulatory purposes. Methods used to analyze biodurability in animal models are short-term inhalational exposure and intratracheal instillation of rat respirable fibers. Both test methods have strengths and limitations for regulatory purposes. We outline recommended procedures for standardized biodurability assays that can be used to compare different fiber types. In animal experiments, biodurability is difficult to separate from biopersistence, as mucociliary and macrophage-mediated clearance occur simultaneously with dissolution and disintegration. For intratracheal instillation, a sized rat respirable sample must be used. Precautions should be taken to prevent aggregation of fibers in the lungs. Although from a scientific point of view questions remain about quantifying the influence of fiber length, diameter, dose, and exposure route, consistent data on the biodurability of vitreous glass fibers are available which may be used for regulatory purposes.

T1  - Approaches to characterizing human health risks of exposure to fibers.
AN  - 21250973; 11703704
AB  - Naturally occurring and man-made (synthetic) fibers of respirable sizes are substances that have been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as priority substances for risk reduction and pollution prevention under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The health concern for respirable fibers is based on the link of occupational asbestos exposure and environmental erionite fiber exposure to the development of chronic respiratory diseases, including interstitial lung fibrosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma in humans. There is also considerable laboratory evidence indicating that a variety of fibers of varying physical and chemical characteristics can elicit fibrogenic and carcinogenic effects in animals under certain exposure conditions. This paper discusses key scientific issues and major default assumptions and uncertainties pertaining to the risk assessment of inhaled fibers. This is followed by a description of the types of assessment performed by the U.S. EPA to support risk management actions of new fibers and existing fibers under TSCA. The scope and depth of these risk assessments, however, vary greatly depending on whether the substance under review is an existing or a new fiber, the purpose of the assessment, the availability of data, time, and resources, and the intended nature of regulatory action. In general, these risk assessments are of considerable uncertainty because health hazard and human exposure information is often incomplete for most fibers. Furthermore, how fibers cause diseases and what specific determinants are critical to fiber-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity are still not completely understood. Further research to improve our knowledge base in fiber toxicology and additional toxicity and exposure data gathering are needed to more accurately characterize the health risks of inhaled fibers.

T1  - Peroxisome proliferators increase the formation of BPDE-DNA adducts in isolated rat hepatocytes
AN  - 16512210; 4410035
AB  - Peroxisome proliferators are known to modulate the activity of xenobiotic-metabolising enzymes, including glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P-450 (CYP). In this study the effect of peroxisome proliferators silvex and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) on the formation of (+)-anti-benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts from a proximate mutagen and carcinogen (-)-transbenzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol (BPDD) has been investigated. Rat CYP1A1 metabolises BPDD to mutagenic BPDE, which may form DNA adducts or, alternatively, be detoxified by hydrolysis or glutathione conjugation. In this experiment the formation of BPDE-DNA adducts was significantly increased in hepatocytes isolated from all silvex treated rats and two out of four DEHP treated rats (14 day treatment). The activity of CYP1A1 was increased whereas GST was reduced by the peroxisome proliferator silvex. These changes were more significant than those induced by DEHP. We have hypothesised that the formation of BPDE-DNA adducts was primarily due to the increased BPDD activation to BPDE versus reduced detoxication of BPDE. Other hepatic changes induced by the peroxisome proliferators, e.g. peroxisome proliferation per se and increased mitotic activity of the liver could have an effect on the outcome of BPDD exposure.

T1  - Seasonal changes in chemistry, algal populations, chlorophyll a and photosynthetic activity in the R. Delimi, Jos Plateau, Nigeria
AN  - 16504960; 4406430
AB  - Seasonal studies were undertaken (August 1983-July 1984) to evaluate the algal distribution and ecology of the River Delimi, Jos Plateau, Nigeria at three stations: upstream, with little allochthonous input; midstream, receiving heavy domestic affluents; downstream. A wide amplitude of variability was discernible in physicochemical factors, and photosynthetic activity and abundance of 'suspended' algae in relation to the degree of pollution along the first 7-km stretch of the river. Conductivity ( mu S/cm) showed a 9-fold increase from upstream (x super(-) = 35) to downstream. The standing crop (Chl a) fluctuated markedly, with 6-times higher values for a polluted midstream site (x super(-) = 18.2 mg/m super(3)). Production rate measurements (mg C/m super(3)/d) showed significant variability with relatively low values (x super(-) = 610) recorded for the upstream and highest (x super(-) = 1050) at the midstream site. A positive correlation was obtained between production rates and Chl a for the polluted midstream zone.

T1  - Transition in water quality variables in "salt-wedge" estuary
AN  - 16344973; 4297325
AB  - The Yarra River has been identified as one of the major sources of nutrients and toxicants in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. To estimate total loads of nutrients and toxicants derived from the Yarra River, the historical upstream measurements have been related to those downstream at Westgate Bridge, near the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. The six month measurement program implemented in 1995 at Westgate Bridge resulted in continuous observation of river discharges and water quality variables from five depth levels with a more intense sampling strategy during high flow events. In general, the typical vertical distribution of nutrient and metal concentrations in the Yarra Estuary, classified as 'salt-wedge' estuary, is characterised by higher levels near the surface decreasing with depth. The most pronounced difference between the near-surface and the deeper water concentrations occurs for nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, silicate and metals (iron and lead). By contrast, orthophosphate is distributed uniformly through the water column. The daily loads at Westgate Bridge were related to upstream loads estimated for the same period. The relationship for nutrients is close to logarithmic and loads in the Yarra Estuary exceed the combined upstream loads. By contrast, the relationship obtained for total suspended solids is exponential, testifying to processes of flocculation and precipitation of colloidal material in the estuary being of major importance.

T1  - Antifungal proteins from seeds of Australian native plants and isolation of an antifungal peptide from Atriplex nummularia
AN  - 16334675; 4266278
AB  - Extracts from seeds of 69 different species of plants mostly originating from Australia were screened for antifungal agents with activity against the plant pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum fsp. vasinfectum, Rhizoctonia solani, Thielaviopsis basicola, and Verticillium dahliae. Many seed extracts showed inhibitory activity against one or more of the fungi tested. High antifungal activities were detected in the genera Archontophoenix, Atriplex, Alphitonia, Callistemon, and Dodonaea. Only the Atriplex seed extract was shown to contain a protease-sensitive antifungal activity. A 30 amino acid residue peptide (An1) was purified to homogeneity from the seeds of Atriplex nummularia and its in vitro activity against several fungal pathogens of plants was characterised. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed An1 to be homologous to the chitin-binding antimicrobial peptides of Amaranthus caudatus.

T1  - Succession in bird assemblages over a seven-year period in regrowth dry sclerophyll forest in south-east Tasmania
AN  - 16326717; 4265650
AB  - The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service monitored bird populations in a clearfell coupe and an adjacent unlogged forest in dry sclerophyll forest in the south-east of Tasmania for one and a half years in 1977-78. The mature forest was subsequently logged and another unlogged mature forest control site was added to the north. Monitoring by Forestry Tasmania continued for a further seven years, using a modified method. Numbers of birds and numbers of species were greatest in the mature forest and greater in the young regrowth than in the older regrowth. The higher numbers and species in the younger regrowth compared with the older regrowth are probably a result of the influence of older trees that were retained in sections of the young regrowth, the greater diversity of habitats in the young regrowth and the greater visibility in young regrowth. The bird faunas of the mature forest, older regrowth and young regrowth differed from each other. Individual species showed a range of responses to logging. Three species (Golden Whistler, Spotted Quail-thrush and Satin Flycatcher) that occurred in mature forest were virtually absent from regrowth.

AN  - 16310512; 4252663
AB  - Investigation of superficial decay of 2.0 m diameter wooden pipeline carrying water for hydroelectric power generation, revealed the presence of a wood-decaying, nitrogen-fixing bacterial consortia associated with the attack. The most severe attack occurred in pools of semi-permanent water on the top of the pipeline. Associated N sub(2)-fixing biota were identified as Xanthobacter autotrophicus or X. flavus, Pseudomonas acidovorans, Ps. alcaligenes, Ps. aureofaciens and an Alcaligenes sp. The Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas isolates (but not the Xanthobacter isolates) showed growth with creosote as the sole source of carbon, with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis indicating utilization of the aliphatic components in the C sub(22)-C sub(35) range.

T1  - Raised concentration of serum bile acids following occupational exposure to halogenated solvents, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane and trichloroethylene
AN  - 16286932; 4282065
AB  - The objectives of this study were threefold. First, to examine the hepatic effects of occupational exposure to 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (FC 113) using conventional and newer tests (serum bile acids) of hepatobiliary function. Second, to assess the effects of altered work practices that included a reduced exposure to a different halogenated solvent (trichloroethylene) on the same parameters of liver function; and finally, to gather further data to support or refute the contention that serum bile acid (SBA) levels could provide a sensitive biological marker of exposure to these solvents. Two groups of workers (control and exposed) in an Australian steel industry participated in the study. Statistical analysis of the data showed a significant increase in the concentration of total serum bile acids (TSBA), some of the subgroups of SBA, and a few of the ISBA in workers after a period of exposure to FC 113. After TRI replaced FC 113 together with other changes in work practices to give substantial reduction in exposure to solvent, a repeat study also found elevated SBA after the cleaning procedure but to a lesser extent. No other indications of adverse liver effects, as measured by conventional parameters of hepatobiliary function, were detected.

T1  - Development and evaluation of a predictive model for the effect of temperature and water activity on the growth rate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
AN  - 16282943; 4291835
AB  - The growth rates of four strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were measured and compared in a model broth system. The results for the fastest growing strain, based on 77 combinations of temperature and water activity (a sub(w)) using NaCl as the humectant, were summarised in the form of a predictive mathematical model. The model, of the square-root type includes a novel term to describe the effects of super-optimal water activity, and can be used to predict generation times for the temperature range (8-45 degree C) and water activity range (0.936-0.995) which permit growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Predicted generation times from the model were compared to literature data, using bias and accuracy factors, for both laboratory media and foods. The model was shown to give realistic growth estimates, with a bias value of 1.01, and an accuracy factor of 1.38.

T1  - Molecular analysis of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal strains isolated in Bangladesh between 1993 and 1996: Evidence for emergence of a new clone of the Bengal vibrios
AN  - 16248842; 4226927
AB  - Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal emerged in 1992 and rapidly spread in an epidemic form, in which it replaced exiting strains of V. cholerae O1 in Bangladesh during 1992 and 1993. The subsequent emergence of a new clone of V. cholerae O1 of the El Tor biotype that transiently displaced the O139 vibrios during 1994 to 1995 and the recent reemergence of V. cholerae O139 and its coexistence with the El Tor vibrios demonstrated temporal changes in the epidemiology of cholera in Bangladesh. We studied clonal diversity among V. cholerae O139 strains isolated from cholera patients and environmental surface water since their first appearance until their transient disappearance in 1994 as well as the O139 strains that reemerged during 1995 to 1996 and were isolated in the capital Dhaka and four rural districts of Bangladesh to investigate the origin of the reemerged strains. Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in genes for conserved rRNA and cholera toxin (CT) (ctxA) or in DNA sequences flanking these genes revealed four different ribotypes and four different ctx genotypes among the 93 strains of V. cholerae O139 studied. Ribotypes I and II and ctx genotypes A through C were shared by strains isolated from the epidemic outbreak during 1992 and 1993 in Bangladesh and India, ribotype III was represented by a single CT-negative O139 strain from Argentina, and 16 of 27 (59.2%) of the reemerged strains isolated during 1995 and 1996 belonged to a new ribotype of O139 vibrios designated ribotype IV. All 16 strains belonging to ribotype IV also belonged to a new ctx genotype (genotype 4). These results provide evidence for the emergence of a new clone of toxigenic V. cholerae O139 in Bangladesh. Further analysis of the rfb gene cluster by PCR revealed the absence of a large region of the O1-specific rfb operon and the presence of an O139-specific genomic region in all O139 strains. The PCR amplicon corresponding to the rfaD gene of a CT-negative O139 strain from Argentina was smaller in length than those of the toxigenic O139 strains but was identical to those of seven non-O1 and non-O139 strains. All O139 strains except the CT-negative strain carried structural and regulatory genes for CT and toxin-coregulated pili (ctxA, tcpA, tcpI, and toxR). These results suggest that the O139 Bengal strains possibly emerged from an El Tor strain but that the CT-negative non-Bengal O139 strain might have emerged from a non-O1, non-O139 strain. Thus, strains belonging to the O139 serogroup may have emerged from similar serotype-specific genetic changes in more than one progenitor strain of V. cholerae.

T1  - Chemistry of throughfall, stemflow and litterfall in fertilized and irrigated Pinus radiata
AN  - 16231132; 4219683
AB  - The chemical inputs by rainfall, throughfall and stemflow were studied in a pine plantation located in Pierces Creek Forest, Canberra, Australia. Three treatments were included in the study: a control (C) and two fertilizer treatments. The first fertilizer treatment (F) involved two applications of mixed fertilizers at high rates, the second (IL) involved application of a complete liquid fertilizer with irrigation, so as to remove nutrient and water restrictions to growth. The application rates of nutrients were higher for IL than F. Net inputs of elements in throughfall and stemflow, obtained by subtracting the amounts in the rainfall, were compared for different treatments. For cations (the sum of Ca, Mg, Na and K), the treatment effect on leaching by throughfall and stemflow was IL > F > C; but the F to C differences were greater for throughfall than stemflow. The effects were almost entirely due to increases in concentration, rather than the amount of rainfall becoming throughfall or stemflow. The concentration of nitrogen (as NH sub(4) or NO sub(3)) in throughfall or stemflow could be lower or higher than in rainfall, indicating net removal or leaching, respectively. Net removal occurred for most rainfall events for the control treatment, for a substantial number of events for treatment F, but for few events for treatment IL. The ammonium ion was preferentially removed from throughfall, and nitrate from stemflow. Transfers of potassium and total nitrogen by litterfall, throughfall and stemflow were also studied. The proportions of potassium and nitrogen being transferred by these processes showed little difference between treatments; the overall values for potassium being 60% by throughfall, 4% by stemflow and 36% by litterfall. In contrast the transfer of nitrogen was dominated by litterfall (81%), with 18% by throughfall and 1% by stemflow.

T1  - Effects of particles on fibroblast proliferation and bone resorption in vitro
AN  - 16112488; 4215540
AB  - An in vitro study was conducted to determine the ability of particle challenged human peripheral monocytes to modulate fibroblast proliferation and bone resorption. The effects of commercially pure titanium, titanium-aluminum-vanadium, and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene wear debris, either fabricated or retrieved from patients with failed total hip arthroplasties, were examined as a function of the composition, size, and dose of particles. In vitro generated particles were selected to be matched closely in particle size distribution to that found in vivo. Dosages were controlled by standardizing the ratio of particle surface area to mean monocyte surface area. The results support the hypothesis that, in vitro, challenge of monocytes by particulate wear debris results in a biphasic dose response. For the metal particles, fibrogenesis was observed over the range of 1x to 10x surface area ratio (the surface area of particles to the surface area of cells), although for metallic and polyethylene particles, saturated doses of 10x surface area ratio were required to stimulate bone resorption. In addition, metallic particles were able to stimulate fibrogenesis at doses at which simulated and retrieved polyethylene were ineffective. Although there may be a nonosteolytic chronically tolerable annual dose of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene wear debris corresponding to approximately 1x surface area ratio, lower doses, especially of metallic debris, may produce reactive fibroblast proliferation and fibroplasia that may contribute to implant loosening and failure.

T1  - Sex ratios, local fitness enhancement and eusociality in the allodapine bee Exoneura richardsoni
AN  - 16105867; 4209721
AB  - Previous studies of a facultatively eusocial allodapine bee, Exoneura rihardsoni Rayment, indicated that high levels of cooperative nesting among close relatives seem to be maintained by benefits that lead to increases in per capita brood production. These traits could lead to local fitness enhancement, which in turn could select for female-biased sex ratios. We show here that sex investment ratios in this species are female-biased in small colony sizes, becoming progressively male-biased in larger colonies, consistent with expectations for local fitness enhancement, but not explainable by alternative models. Our results support previous suggestions that local fitness enhancement can lead to sex ratio bias in primitively social Hymenoptera, but differ from previous studies by suggesting that patterns of bias could lower selective thresholds for sib-directed altruism in small colonies, but have an opposing effect in large colonies.

T1  - Comparison of immune responses in patients infected with Vibrio cholerae O139 and O1
AN  - 16082739; 4115681
AB  - Vibrio cholerae O139 has recently emerged as the second etiologic agent of cholera in Asia. A study was carried out to evaluate the induction of specific immune responses to the organism in V. cholerae O139-infected patients. The immune responses to V. cholerae O139 Bengal were studied in patients by measuring antibody-secreting cells (ASC), as well as vibriocidal and antitoxic antibodies in the circulation. These responses were compared with those in patients with V. cholerae O1 disease. Strong immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM ASC responses were seen against the homologous lipopolysaccharide or serogroup of V. cholerae. The magnitude and isotype of the responses were similar in O139- and O1-infected patients. Vibriocidal antibody responses were seen against bacteria of the homologous but not heterologous serogroup, and these responses reflect the lack of cross-protection between the infections caused by the two serogroups. The two groups of patients showed comparable cholera toxin-specific ASC responses, with the IgG isotype dominating over the IgA isotype, as well as comparable antitoxic immune responses in plasma. These results suggest that despite having a polysaccharide capsule, V. cholerae O139 induces systemic and intestine-derived ASC responses in peripheral blood comparable to those seen in patients with V. cholerae O1 disease.

T1  - Factors Associated with Serum Levels of Estradiol and Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Among Premenopausal Japanese Women
AN  - 14467172; 10543112
AB  - In a group of Japanese women aged 1242 yr, serum levels of estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) were determined and related to potential risk factors for breast cancer, such as physical activity, alcohol use, and birth month. The findings showed that higher physical activity at 1315 yr of age was related to decreased estradiol levels on the eleventh day of the menstrual cycle in adulthood. Body mass index was significantly correlated with a decreasing level of SHBG on the eleventh day of the cycle. No significant associations were found between estradiol levels at days 11 or 22 and the variables for parity, smoking, alcohol consumption, maternal age at delivery, or ages at menarche and start of regular cycle.

T1  - Rice Burning and Asthma Hospitalizations, Butte County, California, 19831992
AN  - 14466182; 10543110
AB  - In the Sacramento Valley of California, rice burning is practiced widely to rid waste stubble from fields prior to replanting. Results are presented from a study that examined the possible effects of rice burning on asthma hospitalizations in Butte County. Daily asthma hospitalization information was compiled using 198392 discharge data. Ozone values were continuously measured, along with carbon monoxide, suspended particulate matter, and the soiling index. Results showed that all air-quality parameters showed small but nonstatistically significant elevations of relative risk for daily asthma hospitalizations. The highest correlation was found for PM sub(10) values. Increases in rice-straw burn acreage were found to contribute to hospital admissions for asthma in the county.

AB  - Massachusetts Hazmat Teams are made up of selected firefighters from fire departments in the urban and rural areas. Data are presented from all 165 hazmat responses by these teams since their inception through February 1994. The proportion of incidents resulting in injury was highest for explosions, which often caused inhalation exposures, explosion-related trauma, and chemical burns. The majority of the incidents occurred at fixed facilities. Oil was involved in almost half of transportation-related incidents. Extensive data are presented on the frequency of causes of hazardous-materials incidents, facility types where these incidents occurred, and hazardous materials frequently found at the facility types and activity types during accidents.

T1  - Front-Door Concentrations and Personal Exposures of Danish Children to Nitrogen Dioxide
AN  - 14466052; 10543108
AB  - Maps and traffic counts were used to identify streets in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in rural areas with high and low traffic density, respectively. These sites were then used to determine if the front-door concentration of traffic exhaust fumes could be used to classify the actual personal exposure of children to nitrogen dioxide. Diffusive badge samplers were placed outside the front door of each home, inside the child's bedroom, and on each child. Results indicated that the front-door NO sub(2) concentration accounted for 15 and 35% of the variation in personal exposures in Copenhagen and in the rural districts, respectively. The relationship between front-door concentrations of traffic exhaust fumes and personal exposures was strengthened by the exclusion of respondents on the basis of potential indoor sources of NO sub(2) and secondary exclusion of participants on the basis of diary notes about the duration of exposure to the same indoor sources.

T1  - Renal Effects of Environmental and Occupational Lead Exposure
AN  - 14465656; 10543105
AB  - The current knowledge of the renal effects of chronic lead exposure in humans is summarized. Areas considered include: historical Pb poisoning, environmental Pb exposure, Pb nephropathy, childhood Pb poisoning, exposure through consumption of illegally distilled whiskey, hyperuricemia, gout, hypertension, tests for the detection of kidney damage due to Pb exposure, and methods to assess increased body Pb burden. The data reveal that acute Pb poisoning in humans causes destruction of proximal tubular architecture with functional disturbances, including aminoaciduria, glycosuria, and phosphaturia. These changes are reversible, however, after chelation therapy. Because more than 90% of Pb is stored in bone, blood Pb levels are a poor indicator of body burden.

T1  - Residential Exposure to Plasticizers and Its Possible Role in the Pathogenesis of Asthma
AN  - 14465514; 10543109
AB  - The plasticizer, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), is used widely in the production of PVC and vinyl chloride resins and can accumulate to a great extent in building interior surfaces. Sedimented dust and suspended particulate matter samples were collected inside dwellings in Oslo, Norway, and the adsorbed DEHP was determined. The data were then related to the incidence of asthma in each home. Results indicated that DEHP accounted for 69 and 52% of the total amount of phthalates adsorbed to sedimented dust and suspended particulate matter, respectively. The particulate inhalation exposure to DEHP was considered to be significant. A mechanism of the pathogenesis of asthma is proposed based on these findings, which holds that mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, the main hydrolysis product of DEHP, mimics the induction prostaglandins and thromboxanes in the lungs.

T1  - Lead Exposure and Intelligence in 7-Year-Old Children: the Yugoslavia Prospective Study
AN  - 14464954; 10543107
AB  - The Yugoslavia Prospective Study is chronologically the last of the major prospective studies that examined the consequences of pre- and postnatal lead exposure. The study was conducted in two towns, one containing a Pb smelter, refinery, and battery factory, and the other nonexposed. An assessment was conducted of intellectual functioning of children at ages 5 and 7 yr in relation to blood Pb levels. Childhood intelligence was assessed by the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for ChildrenVersion III. Results indicated a small but statistically significant adverse impact of blood Pb on school-age Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance IQ. Cognitive functions related to perceptual organization and to resistance to distraction appeared to be most negatively affected by Pb exposure. These adverse impacts were small, however, compared to the more substantial impact of sociodemographic variables.

AB  - Irinotecan (CPT-11) is an analogue of 20(S)-camptothecin with promising activity against several tumor types. In patients, CPT-11 is metabolized to 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) and to the beta-glucuronide of SN-38. Recently, we identified an additional metabolite of CPT-11, 7-ethyl-10-[4-N-(5-aminopentanoic acid)-1-piperidino] carbonyloxycamptothecin (APC; L. P. Rivory et al. , Cancer Res., 56: 3689-3694, 1996). The aim of this study was to investigate the interrelationships of all four compounds to identify factors that might be responsible for the large interpatient variability in CPT-11 and SN-38 kinetics. The plasma kinetics of CPT-11, SN-38, the beta-glucuronide of SN-38, and APC were studied in 19 patients for a total of 33 cycles (115-600 mg/m2). Although the area under the concentration curves (AUCs) of all compounds studied increased with dose, there was considerable variability. Ratios of the AUCs of the appropriate compounds were used as estimates of the major routes of metabolism (conversion of CPT-11 to SN-38, metabolism of CPT-11 to APC, and glucuronidation of SN-38). Each ratio varied more than 10-fold across the patient population, and the apparent extent of conversion of CPT-11 to SN-38 was highest at the 115 mg/m2 dose level. Interestingly, AUCSN-38 was greater in patients with both high AUCCPT-11 and AUCAPC. We conclude that the variability of the pharmacokinetics of CPT-11 and SN-38 is likely to be due to extensive interpatient differences in the pathways implicated in the metabolism of CPT-11.

T1  - Meeting the Information Needs of Education Policymakers. Perspectives on Education Policy Research.
AN  - 62631961; ED409635
AB  - The National Institute on Educational Governance, Finance, Policymaking, and Management (part of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement) helps state and local policymakers and educators use knowledge from research to govern, fund, lead, and manage elementary and secondary schools. This document summarizes what policymakers have said are the most critical issues and research needs facing them. It is based on the views of policymakers and leaders as expressed at a planning forum sponsored by the Institute and in papers commissioned for that forum. The first section examines some critical issues for future research, grouped by the following major themes: issues related to the inputs and outcomes of education; issues related to the structure and process of education; issues related to the core of teaching and learning; and issues related to the broader context of education. The next section summarizes policymakers' ideas about how to effectively present and disseminate research information to a policy audience. The final section discusses strategies for encouraging ongoing dialogue between policymakers and researchers. (LMI)

T1  - The 1994 High School Transcript Study Tabulations: Comparative Data on Credits Earned and Demographics for 1994, 1990, 1987, and 1982 High School Graduates. E.D. Tabs
AN  - 62551264; ED412277
AB  - The 1994 High School Transcript Study (HSTS) provides the Department of Education and other policymakers with information about current course offerings and students' course-taking patterns in the nation's secondary schools. One objective was to determine changes in course offering and selection patterns since the previous studies in 1982, 1987, and 1990. Another objective was to compare course-taking patterns to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), an assessment of educational achievement nationwide. In 1994, transcripts were collected for more than 25,000 students who graduated from high school that year. These students were from 340 schools that participated in the NAEP. Information in this report documents a significant increase since 1982 in the percentage of graduates completing curricula recommended by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. As of 1994, over 25% of high school graduates are completing programs satisfying the Commission's recommendations for college-bound graduates, and nearly one-third are completing the Commission's core curriculum. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of this report contain highlights of the study results, descriptions of the studies from 1982 through 1994, an introduction to the tables of data, a brief description of subject taxonomy, a discussion of the comparability of samples in the studies, and directions for testing the significance of differences reported in the tables. Appendix A contains tables of study data, and Appendix B lists study codes for each category of data. (Contains 121 tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Early Labor Force Experiences and Debt Burden. Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62549998; ED411746
AB  - This study used data from the Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B) and Beginning Postsecondary Student (BPS) studies to examine: the early labor force experiences of college students who either graduated or dropped out; student borrowing for postsecondary education; and student loan debt burden and repayment status. The B&B group (n=11,000) was followed one year after graduation in 1992-93. The nonbaccalaureates (n=8000) were those from the BPS group who enrolled in 1989-90 but did not graduate. Among the study's findings were: 87 percent of the graduates and 81 percent of the nonbaccalaureate group were employed in April of 1994; the average salary in 1994 was $22,100 for graduates and $16,600 for non-graduates; during the first year of graduation, about 29 percent of graduates had experienced unemployment, whereas among the nonbaccalaureate group, about one-third had experienced unemployment (since 1989); nearly one half of the graduates borrowed some money for their education--an average of $10,200; one year after graduating, 63 percent of bachelor's degree recipients had no debt; 29 percent of graduates were required to make loan payments, and the remaining 8 percent still owed but were not required to make payments; graduates were repaying on average of $136 per month, non-graduates an average of $76 per month.

T1  - (super 222) Rn transport in a fractured crystalline rock aquifer; results from numerical simulations
AN  - 52693483; 1997-055949
AB  - Dissolved (super 222) Rn concentrations in ground water from a small wellfield underlain by fractured Middle Proterozoic Pikes Peak Granite southwest of Denver, Colorado range from 124 to 840 kBqm (super -3) (3360-22700 pCiL (super -1) ). Numerical simulations of flow and transport between two wells show that differences in equivalent hydraulic aperture of transmissive fractures, assuming a simplified two-fracture system and the parallel-plate model, can account for the different (super 222) Rn concentrations in each well under steady-state conditions. Transient flow and transport simulations show that (super 222) Rn concentrations along the fracture profile are influenced by (super 222) Rn concentrations in the adjoining fracture and depend on boundary conditions, proximity of the pumping well to the fracture intersection, transmissivity of the conductive fractures, and pumping rate. Non-homogeneous distribution (point sources) of (super 222) Rn parent radionuclides, uranium and (super 226) Ra, can strongly perturb the dissolved (super 222) Rn concentrations in a fracture system. Without detailed information on the geometry and hydraulic properties of the connected fracture system, it may be impossible to distinguish the influence of factors controlling (super 222) Rn distribution or to determine location of (super 222) Rn point sources in the field in areas where ground water exhibits moderate (super 222) Rn concentrations. Flow and transport simulations of a hypothetical multifracture system consisting of ten connected fractures, each 10m in length with fracture apertures ranging from 0.1 to 1.0mm, show that (super 222) Rn concentrations at the pumping well can vary significantly over time. Assuming parallel-plate flow, transmissivities of the hypothetical system vary over four orders of magnitude because transmissivity varies with the cube of fracture aperture. The extreme hydraulic heterogeneity of the simple hypothetical system leads to widely ranging (super 222) Rn values, even assuming homogeneous distribution of uranium and (super 226) Ra along fracture walls. Consequently, it is concluded that (super 222) Rn concentrations vary, not only with the geometric and stress factors noted above, but also according to local fracture aperture distribution, local groundwater residence time, and flux of (super 222) Rn from parent radionuclides along fracture walls.

T1  - Pea Mutants with Reduced Sensitivity to Far-Red Light Define an Important Role for Phytochrome A in Day-Length Detection.
AN  - 1859375483; 12223768
AB  - In garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), a long-day plant, long photoperiods promote flowering by reducing the synthesis or transport of a graft-transmissible inhibitor of flowering. Previous physiological studies have indicated that this promotive effect is predominantly achieved through a response that requires long exposures to light and for which far-red (FR) light is the most effective. These characteristics implicate the action of phytochrome A (phyA). To investigate this matter further, we screened ethylmethane sulfonate-mutagenized pea seedlings for FR-unresponsive, potentially phyA-deficient mutants. Two allelic, recessive mutants were isolated and were designated fun1 for FR unresponsive. The fun1-1 mutant is specifically deficient in the PHYA apoprotein and has a seedling phenotype indistinguishable from wild type when grown under white light. However, fun1-1 plants grown to maturity under long photoperiods show a highly pleiotropic phenotype, with short internodes, thickened stems, delayed flowering and senescence, longer peduncles, and higher seed yield. This phenotype results in large part from an inability of fun1-1 to detect day extensions. These results establish a crucial role for phyA in the control of flowering in pea, and show that phyA mediates responses to both red and FR light. Furthermore, grafting and epistasis studies with fun1 and dne, a mutant deficient in the floral inhibitor, show that the roles of phyA in seedling deetiolation and in day-length detection are genetically separable and that the phyA-mediated promotion of flowering results from a reduction in the synthesis or transport of the floral inhibitor.

T1  - Erosion and sediment characteristics of cultivated forest soils as affected by the mechanical stability of aggregates
AN  - 16459246; 4371022
AB  - Information on erosion and size-distribution of soil and sediment is useful in developing effective soil conservation techniques in farms. The size-distribution and mechanical stability of soil may influence the size-distribution of sediment due to erosion. In this study, erosion and sediment characteristics were measured in simulated rainfall experiments for three forest soils of contrasting physical properties. Four erosion treatments combined varying slope and kinetic energy of rainfall to provide three effective levels of energy from rain and runoff. A comparison of soil loss and size-distribution (quantified as Mean Weight Diameter, MWD) of the uneroded soils with size-distribution of sediment indicated soil loss to be greatest and sediment finest for the soil which was most susceptible to wetting. In contrast, soil loss was low and sediment was coarse for the strongly aggregated soil. Indices of relative mechanical stability have been developed which will assist interpretation of sediment quality and erosion for a range of soils.

T1  - Evaluating the WATBAL sediment loading model, Clearwater National Forest, Idaho
AN  - 16317746; 4254143
AB  - Efforts to protect water quality while managing national forests for logging purposes are currently constrained by limited information on the application, interpretation, and validation of sediment loading models. For years, these models have been used to predict the impacts of logging, road-building, and fires on sediment loading to streams. However, in the Clearwater National Forest, where the WATBAL sediment loading model is used, model results have never been compared to actual field measurements. Without model validation, forest managers are working with unverified information regarding the impacts of logging activities on aquatic systems. To effectively manage our national forests and their aquatic ecosystems, we must provide accurate information to forest managers. This paper presents the results of comparing the WATBAL output to field measurements of sediment loading to streams in the Clearwater National Forest, ID.

T1  - Validation of a model describing the effects of temperature and water activity on the growth of psychrotrophic pseudomonads
AN  - 16284714; 4291839
AB  - The reliability of the predictive model for the growth of psychrotrophic pseudomonads was evaluated both under controlled laboratory conditions and in industry conditions using various milks, milk-based products, meat and meat products. The validation process involved monitoring the growth of pseudomonads at various temperatures and comparing the observed generation times to those predicted by the model using bias and accuracy factors. For fluctuating temperatures bias and accuracy factors were used to compare the predicted and observed times to reach various population densities. The psychrotrophic pseudomonad model was shown to predict accurately the growth of pseudomonads in the products tested. In some instances knowledge of the lag phase duration was required to maximise the performance of the model.

AN  - 16283579; 4291838
AB  - A combined temperature and water activity model for the growth of psychrotrophic pseudomonads was developed using turbidimetic data. Psychrotrophic pseudomonads were isolated from various modified and whole milks. The fastest growing strain was identified and used to develop the model. Generation time estimates calculated by turbidimetric and viable count data differed but this difference was constant with respect to temperature and was incorporated into the modelling process so that all models are constructed to predict generation times equivalent to those calculated by viable counts, the standard method for enumerating microorganisms in food products.

T1  - Diversity and association of psychrophilic bacteria in Antarctic sea ice
AN  - 16256054; 4241158
AB  - The bacterial populations associated with sea ice sampled from Antarctic coastal areas were investigated by use of a phenotypic approach and a phylogenetic approach based on genes encoding 16S rRNA (16S rDNA). The diversity of bacteria associated with sea ice was also compared with the bacterial diversity of seawater underlying sea ice. Psychrophilic (optimal growth temperature, less than or equal to 15 degree C; no growth occurring at 20 degree C) bacterial diversity was found to be significantly enriched in sea ice samples possessing platelet and bottom ice diatom assemblages, with 2 to 9 distinct (average, 5.6 plus or minus 1.8) psychrophilic taxa isolated per sample. Substantially fewer psychrophilic isolates were recovered from ice cores with a low or negligible population of ice diatoms or from under-ice seawater samples (less than one distinct taxon isolated per sample). In addition, psychrophilic taxa that were isolated from under-ice seawater samples were in general phylogenetically distinct from psychrophilic taxa isolated from sea ice cores. The taxonomic distributions of psychrotrophic bacterial isolates (optimal growth temperature, >20 degree C; growth can occur at similar to 4 degree C) isolated from sea ice cores and under-ice seawater were quite similar. Overall, bacterial isolates from Antarctic sea ice were found to belong to four phylogenetic groups, the alpha and gamma subdivisions of the Proteobacteria, the gram-positive branch, and the Flexibacter-Bacteroides-Cytophaga phylum. Most of the sea ice strains examined appeared to be novel taxa based on phylogenetic comparisons, with 45% of the strains being psychrophilic. 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that psychrophilic strains belonged to the genera Colwellia, Shewanella, Marinobacter, Planococcus, and novel phylogenetic lineages adjacent to Colwellia and Alteromonas and within the Flexibacter-Bacteroides-Cytophaga phylum. Psychrotrophic strains were found to be members of the genera Pseudoalteromonas, Psychrobacter, Halomonas, Pseudomonas, Hyphomonas, Sphingomonas, Arthrobacter, Planococcus, and Halobacillus. From, this survey, it is proposed that ice diatom assemblages provide niches conducive to the proliferation of a diverse array of psychrophilic bacterial species.

T1  - A changing temperature response with elevation for Lagarostrobos franklinii in Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 16252544; 4237545
AB  - A network of seven Huon pine ring-width chronologies is constructed from sites ranging in elevation from 200 to 950 metres above sea level in western Tasmania. The chronologies are analysed individually and collectively to explore Huon pine's response to climate as a function of elevation. Three chronologies from greater than 700 metres in elevation exhibit a strong, direct response to temperature for most growing season months (p < 0.05), while three from below 700 metres exhibit a weaker, direct response to growing-season temperature, and a strong, inverse relationship with temperature of the prior season of growth, also significant at the 0.05 level. Moisture availability at these temperate rainforest sites is less growth-limiting than temperature, and significant correlations for January (inverse) and April (direct) of the year of growth largely reflect the inter-relationships between temperature, precipitation and cloudiness, and their combined influence on photosynthesis, particularly at higher-elevation sites. A rotated Principal Component Analysis reveals a clear grouping of the high and low-elevation chronologies, represented by the first and second eigenvectors, respectively. The 700 metre Lake Marilyn Low chronology is revealed to be a transitional site between the two groupings, and likely reflects an important climatic ecotone where both temperature and photosynthetically-active radiation drop below optimum levels for the species, and begin to directly inhibit growth. Tasmania's west coast climate has been shown to exhibit a distinct vertical structure, exemplified by a subsidence-inversion layer above 900 metres. Temperature increases slightly with altitude above 930 metres (the elevation at which a peak in daily minimum and maximum humidity levels is observed) before decreasing again. A dense, orographically-generated cloud-zone of reduced light and temperature has a mean altitude between 700 and 900 metres, with the steepest drop in both air and soil temperature exhibited between 850 and 930 metres. This structure can account for Huon pine's changing response to climate with elevation as described in this paper, and reinforces the importance of careful site selection for dendroclimatic research. In the case of reconstructing warm-season temperature from Tasmanian Huon pine, the desired signal might be maximised through sampling at the few rare, subalpine stands which have been located in western Tasmania. The great length afforded by the low-elevation Huon pine resource may ultimately yield a far more detailed reconstruction of regional climate throughout the Holocene, with respect to a vertical profile, following the development of more sound, mechanistically-based response models.

T1  - Use of a promoterless lacZ gene insertion to investigate chitinase gene expression in the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. Strain S9
AN  - 16103923; 4204443
AB  - Sequence data for genes encoding 16S rRNA indicated that the marine strain previously named Pseudomonas sp. strain S9 would be better identified as a Pseudoalteromonas sp. By use of transposon mutagenesis, a chitinase-negative mutant of S9 with a lacZ reporter gene insertion was isolated. Part of the interrupted gene was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence had homology to sequences of bacterial chitinases. Expression of the chitinase gene promoter was quantified by measuring the lacZ reporter gene product, beta -galactosidase. beta -Galactosidase production was induced 10-fold by N-acetylglucosamine and 3-fold by chitin in minimal medium. Repression of beta -galactosidase synthesis was observed in rich medium either with or without chitin but was not observed in minimal medium containing glucose. The chitinase gene promoter was induced by starvation and higher-than-ambient levels of carbon dioxide but not by cadmium ion, heat or cold shock, or UV exposure.

T1  - An approach for modeling noncancer dose responses with an emphasis on uncertainty
AN  - 16092630; 4109743
AB  - This paper presents an approach for characterizing the probability of adverse effects occurring in a population exposed to dose rates in excess of the Reference Dose (RfD). The approach uses a linear threshold (hockey stick) model of response and is based on the current system of uncertainty factors used in setting RfDs. The approach requires generally available toxicological estimates such as No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Levels (NOAELs) or Benchmark Doses and doses at which adverse effects are observed in 50% of the test animals (ED sub(50)s). In this approach, Monte Carlo analysis is used to characterize the uncertainty in the dose response slope based on the range and magnitude of the key sources of uncertainty in setting protective doses. The method does not require information on the shape of the dose response curve for specific chemicals, but is amenable to the inclusion of such data. The approach is applied to four compounds to produce estimates of response rates for dose rates greater than the RfD.

T1  - Enhanced methionine levels and increased nutritive value of seeds of transgenic lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L.) expressing a sunflower seed albumin gene
AN  - 16028241; 4095395
AB  - With the aim of improving the nutritive value of an important grain legume crop, a chimeric gene specifying seed-specific expression of a sulfur-rich, sunflower seed albumin was stably transformed into narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.). Sunflower seed albumin accounted for 5% of extractable seed protein in a line containing a single tandem insertion of the transferred DNA. The transgenic seeds contained less sulfate and more total amino acid sulfur than the nontransgenic parent line. This was associated with a 94% increase in methionine content and a 12% reduction in cysteine content. There was no statistically significant change in other amino acids or in total nitrogen or total sulfur contents of the seeds. In feeding trials with rats, the transgenic seeds gave statistically significant increases in live weight gain, true protein digestibility, biological value, and net protein utilization, compared with wild-type seeds. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using genetic engineering to improve the nutritive value of grain crops.

T1  - The Estrogenic Activity of Phthalate Esters in Vitro
AN  - 14467023; 10541747
AB  - Phthalates, which are produced in extremely large volumes worldwide, are essentially used as plasticizers in the production of polymeric materials such as PVC. A number of phthalate esters, which are tabulated, were assessed for estrogenic activity using a recombinant yeast screen, which is described. For comparison, the proliferative effects of all commercially available phthalates showing estrogenic activity were tested using two estrogen-responsive human breast-cancer cell lines. The chemicals found to be the most problematic were the shorter-chain phthalates, such as butyl benzyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and diisobutyl phthalate, which are used by industry in smaller quantities, and the longer-chain phthalate, diisononyl phthalate, which is weakly estrogenic, but is used in very large quantities. The most widely used phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, did not show estrogenic activity in the assays used.

T1  - Lead Exchange in Teeth and Bone-a Pilot Study Using Stable Lead Isotopes
AN  - 14466056; 10541749
AB  - Permanent teeth of Australian migrants, who were mainly from eastern and southern Europe, were obtained throughout Sydney, and lead exchange was determined in tooth enamel and dentine and compared to the rate observed in bone. Stable Pb isotopes were used to distinguish Australian Pb from European Pb. The rate of exchange was determined in relation to residence time in Australia. No significant correlation was found between the rate of exchange with residence time of Australian Pb and the concentration of Pb in enamel. However, a significant correlation was found in this respect for Pb in dentine.

T1  - StructureActivity Relationships for Xenotiotic Transport Substrates and Inhibitory Ligands of P-Glycoprotein
AN  - 14466029; 10541748
AB  - Previous studies have shown that many pesticides are capable of inhibiting P-glycoprotein function, but the data have not implied that the pesticides are transported by P-glycoprotein. Using the Molecular Modeling Pro software, molecular attributes of a number of pesticides were used to develop quantitative structureactivity relationships in an effort to analyze P-glycoprotein inhibition. The structural attributes of P-glycoprotein inhibitors were compared to those of known P-glycoprotein substrates to define the characteristics that dictate whether a chemical will either inhibit or be transported by the protein. The resulting structureactivity relationships were then used to examine six new pesticides to predict the level of interaction of P-glycoprotein. Results indicated that P-glycoprotein transport substrates have higher molecular weights, lower log octanolwater partition coefficient values, and greater hydrogen-bonding potential than compounds that are not transport substrates.

T1  - The Metropolitan Acid Aerosol Characterization Study: Results from the Summer 1994 Washington, D.C. Field Study
AN  - 14465937; 10541750
AB  - Washington, DC, was selected for study as part of the Metropolitan Acid Aerosol Characterization Study. Data collected during the summer of 1994 are presented in terms of the spatial patterns of sulfate, hydrogen ion, ammonium, particulates, and ammonia concentrations. Sampling was conducted simultaneously at six representative sites. The mean summertime PM sub(10), PM sub(2.5), sulfate, and H super(+) concentrations were 30.9, 23.5, 9.5, and 2.1 mu g/m super(3), respectively, and the concentrations were strongly correlated. The most prevalent wind direction was from the south. Sulfate-related particles were the major component of both particulate-matter sizes. Spatially, the concentrations were quite uniform, but spatial differences were observed for NH sub(3) and for coarse particles. With the exception of NH sub(3), population density was found to be insignificant in determining the spatial pattern in summertime pollutant concentrations, which contrasted with the findings observed in Philadelphia, PA.

T1  - Birth Weight Reduction Associated with Residence near a Hazardous Waste Landfill
AN  - 14465904; 10541754
AB  - In the vicinity of the Lipari Landfill in Mantua Township, NJ, birth weights of children born in the area were examined in relation to residence near the landfill, which is ranked number one on EPA's National Priority List. Data were collected over the period 196185. Exposure categories were developed for each birth based on the distance of the mother's residence from the landfill. During the period of the greatest potential of exposure to VOCs from the landfill, due to the heaviest dumping of hazardous chemicals, term births to parents living closest to the landfill had a statistically significant lower average birth weight than the control population. After this period, which ended in 1975, average birth weights in the most affected area rebounded.

T1  - Airborne Arsenic and Urinary Excretion of Arsenic Metabolites During Boiler Cleaning Operations in a Slovak Coal-Fired Power Plant
AN  - 14465477; 10541751
AB  - Coal-fired power-plant boilers are routinely shut down at yearly intervals for cleaning and maintenance operations. At one such power plant in central Slovak Republic, air samples were collected during cleaning operations and analyzed for the presence of arsenic, along with urine samples from the workers. A daily diary of work activities was completed for each worker. The urinary metabolite data 16-h post-shift were found to be related to air As concentrations using grouped data, as well as individual log urine and log air samples results. Compared with studies conducted at copper smelters, however, As bioavailability from flyash was found to be about one-third that observed in Cu workers.

T1  - Exposure to Regular Gasoline and Ethanol Oxyfuel During Refueling in Alaska
AN  - 14465027; 10541753
AB  - During the winter of 199495, a carbon monoxide emissions-reduction program was initiated in Anchorage, AK, that included the use of the oxyfuel, E-10, made by mixing regular unleaded gasoline with 10% ethanol. Results are presented from a study that examined individual consumers' exposures to VOCs during refueling with both regular gasoline and, subsequently, with E-10. Ambient-air and blood samples were analyzed, and a questionnaire was used to examine the frequency of self-reported symptoms possibly associated with exposure to gasoline. Results showed that people who pumped E-10 had slightly higher levels of VOCs in their blood than those who pumped regular gasoline. The correlations between the levels of VOCs in personal breathing zone air and blood were statistically significant, but the correlation coefficients were modest. Very few reported illness symptoms could be attributed to exposure to the oxyfuel, as the symptoms were similar for both groups.

T1  - Growing Pains in South America
AN  - 14464447; 10541746
AB  - South America, which was 74% rural in the 1940s, is now 74% urban. As agriculture has expanded to feed the increasing population, a significant amount of forest cover has been sacrificed. Very little environmental legislation has accompanied the booms in agriculture, transportation, and the consumption of energy and fishing resources, so environmental degradation has been severe over the past 20 yr. The overriding environmental problems in South America and elucidated and discussed. These include: urban growth and the subsequent problems of overcrowding, air pollution, water supply and wastewater treatment, and solid-waste management; labor problems in terms of chemical poisonings, silicosis in miners, and child-labor problems; increased use of pesticides and the contamination of agricultural workers and food; and human migration problems that result in the proliferation of endemic diseases. The possible solutions to these problems are outlined, which are taking the form of aid through international financial institutions and nongovernmental organizations that will hopefully develop community-based programs to aid poor populations gain access to formal-sector services.

T1  - Characterization of the EstP Protein in Drosophila melanogaster and Its Conservation in Drosophilids
AN  - 1034830088; 17057526
AB  - The beta -esterase cluster of D. melanogaster comprises two tandemly duplicated genes. Est6 encodes the well-characterized 5' gene, but the product of the second gene, denoted EstP, had not previously been identified. Here we show that the EstP gene encodes the carboxylesterase EST7. Expression of EstP using the Baculovirus system led to production of a carboxylesterase biochemically indistinguishable from EST7. Furthermore, a naturally occurring EstP variant produces greatly reduced amounts of EstP mRNA and no detectable EST7 protein. Finally, introduction of a wild-type copy of EstP by germline transformation into the variant strain confers the wild-type EST7 phenotype. We show that EST7 differs from EST6 in its substrate and inhibitor specificities and tissue distribution. Germline transformation experiments show that EstP expression is controlled by sequences located between 192 bp 5' and 609 bp 3' of the EstP coding region. Data comparisons with other drosophilid esterases suggest that the site of expression, and hence the function, of EST7 has been conserved across lineages in both the subgenera Drosophila and Sophophora.

T1  - Improving Educational Opportunities for Low-Income Children. Hearing on Examining Proposals to Improve Educational Opportunities for Low-Income Children, Including Provisions of S. 847, to Provide Scholarship Assistance for District of Columbia Elementary and Secondary School Students, Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62534467; ED417239
AB  - The Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources met to hear two panels of witnesses discuss improving educational opportunities for low-income children, including provisions of Senate 847, to provide scholarship assistance for District of Columbia elementary and secondary school students. Opening remarks by Senators Coats, Lieberman, Reed, and Hutchinson set the stage for the discussion of educational improvement for low-income children and a discussion of school choice for urban students. The first panel of four witnesses included Howard Fuller (Institute for the Transformation of Learning, Marquette University), Pam Ballard (mother of urban students), Alieze Stallworth (teacher in the District of Columbia schools and parent), and Barbara S. Lewis (representative of a group supporting school choice and urban parent). With the exception of Ms. Stallworth, these panelists supported various forms of choice for urban schools. Ms. Stallworth argued that the issue was one of excellence in education for all students. The second panel included Glenn Lewis (State representative from Texas), Alex Molnar (professor of education), Paul Perseon (college professor), Zakiya Courtney (Parents for School Choice), and Dolores Fridge (Minnesota State Commissioner of Human Rights). These panelists discussed school choice programs currently operating. The prepared statements of panelists and supplemental materials are included. (SLD)

T1  - Bound Tris confounds the identification of binding site residues in a paraquat single chain antibody.
AN  - 79243285; 9276677
AB  - We produced an anti-paraquat single chain antibody (scFv) to investigate its potential use in immunotherapy for paraquat poisoning. However, this scFv was expressed in an insoluble form and only displayed moderate binding affinity. An earlier examination of the pH dependence of antigen binding by the parent paraquat-specific mAb (7D7-3) suggested that the electrostatic effects of a tyrosine residue were important. The aims of the current study were to obtain expression of a soluble scFv (D10) and to increase its binding affinity. The former was achieved by expression in a phagemid vector. Site-directed mutagenesis of tyrosine residues in CDR H3 did not result in improved affinity for paraquat, suggesting that the original pH dependence required re-examination. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of 7D7-3 Fab revealed that the original observation of the pH-dependent paraquat binding with a mid-point of approximately pH 8.9 was due to tightly bound Tris. It appears that as Tris is titrated to a neutral species the energetically unfavourable juxtaposition of its positive charge with that of paraquat is reduced. These findings have broad implications in the interpretation of the pH or salt dependence of any antibody-antigen interaction which should be made cautiously and with regard to the possible interference of buffer components introduced during the preparation of the antibody.

AN  - 62632546; ED409634
AB  - Analysts of public school-district funding have recently begun to examine the allocation of resources to schools, the equity and effectiveness of school-based funding, and the productivity of the national public education system. Each of these factors may influence the educational resources that a child receives. This document contains papers by presenters at the annual National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) State Data Conference, which dealt with the perplexing persistence of financial inequity. The papers include the following: (1) "Introduction and Overview" (William J. Fowler, Jr.); (2) "Expenditures in Public School Districts: Estimates of Disparities and Analysis of Their Causes" (Wayne Riddle and Liane White); (3) "Teacher Resource Use Within New York State Secondary Schools" (David H. Monk, Brian O. Brent, and Christopher F. Roelke); (4) "Race, Poverty, and the Student Curriculum, 1975-95: Implications for Public Policy" (Nicola A. Alexander); (5) "Court-Ordered School Finance Equalization: Judicial Activism and Democratic Opposition" (Douglas S. Reed); (6) "Principles and Practices in Resource Allocation to Schools under Conditions of Radical Decentralization" (Brian J. Caldwell); (7) "Building Equity and Effectiveness into School-Based Funding Models: An Australian Case Study" (Peter W. Hill); (8) "Alternative Options for Deflating Education Expenditures Over Time" (Richard Rothstein and Lawrence Mishel); (9) "The Productivity Collapse in Schools" (Eric A. Hanushek); and (10) "Evaluating the Effect of Teacher Degree Level on Educational Performance" (Dan D. Goldhaber and Dominic J. Brewer). References accompany the papers. (LMI)

T1  - Dropout Rates in the United States: 1995.
AN  - 62628428; ED410370
AB  - This report, which is the eighth in a series, presents data for 1995 on high school dropout and retention rates, and examines high school completion and graduation rates. In addition to extending time series data from earlier reports, this report focuses on three specific subpopulations that are at particular risk of dropping out of school: (1) foreign-born persons attending U.S. schools; (2) young adults who have been retained one or more grades while enrolled; and (3) individuals who have some type of learning, physical, or other disability. The report is based on the best and most current data available, which includes the Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census and the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. One half million of the 9.5 million 15-through-24-year-olds enrolled in 1994 left school by October 1995 without completing a high school program. This amounts to 5.7% of these young adults, and is equivalent to the dropout percentage reported over the last 24 years. Hispanic students are more likely than White students to leave school before completion, and the estimated rate for Black students falls between the two. In 1995, young adults living in families with incomes in the lowest 20% of all family incomes were 6 times as likely to drop out as their peers from families in the top 20% of the income distribution. Youths aged 15 through 18 account for two-thirds of all those who dropped out in the preceding year, and nearly 40% of the 1995 dropouts were 15 through 17 years of age. Three appendixes contain standard error and time series notes, technical notes, and 12 supplemental tables. (Contains 5 figures and 32 tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Telecommunications and Crime: Regulatory Dilemmas
AN  - 61488342; 9905923
AB  - Examines the regulatory context of crime arising from the connectivity of computing & communications, considering nine varieties of telecommunications-related crime: theft of services, communications in furtherance of criminal conspiracies, telecommunications piracy, the dissemination of offensive materials, electronic money laundering, electronic vandalism, telemarketing fraud, illegal interception, & electronic funds transfer fraud. It is concluded that the most appropriate configuration of regulatory strategies for the control of telecommunications-related crime entails a mixture of law enforcement & technological & market-based solutions. The pursuit of a strict regulatory agenda is, in most cases, not feasible because of the limited capacity of the state. Overregulation, moreover, may stifle commercial & technological development. It is argued that the marketplace may be able to provide more efficient solutions to the problems of telecommunications crime than state interventions. 51 References.

T1  - Isolated hepatocytes - past, present and future
AN  - 17244498; 4541777
AB  - The first technique for large-scale preparation of isolated hepatocytes was described in 1953 and involved perfusion of rat liver under pressure with a Ca super(2+)-free solution containing a chelating agent. Various modifications of this technique were in use over the next ten years, until it was demonstrated that cells prepared in this manner were grossly damaged, losing most of their cytoplasmic enzymes during the preparative procedure. The successful preparation of intact isolated hepatocytes by collagenase-treatment of liver was achieved in 1967, and the widespread use of intact hepatocyte suspensions was accelerated by the development soon after of high-yield preparative techniques involving perfusion of the liver with a medium containing collagenase. The introduction of the isolated hepatocyte preparation has enabled experimental studies that otherwise would not be feasible. Important advances have been the use of cultured hepatocytes, frequently of human origin, for the investigation of the metabolism and toxicology of potential therapeutic agents. Success in this field has been achieved through the steady improvement in techniques for the maintenance in culture of differentiated hepatocytes, and in particular their cytochrome P450 complexes. Another area showing considerable promise is the employment of hepatocytes, generally from a porcine source, in temporary support systems for patients with acute liver failure. Our own studies have concentrated on the demonstration of long-range interactions between hepatocyte compartments which suggest that energy transfer between cell compartments can take place without ATP turnover.

T1  - Foraging zones of royal penguins during the breeding season, and their association with oceanographic features
AN  - 16532094; 4408585
AB  - Satellite transmitters were deployed on breeding royal penguins at Macquarie Island during 4 stages (first male foraging trip during incubation, n = 2; first female foraging trip during incubation, n = 3; guard, n = 4; and early creche, n = 1) of the 1994/5 and 1995 /6 breeding seasons. From these data, foraging zones, oceanographic features of the zones, and travelling behaviours were determined. Foraging trip length, area of foraging zone, and distance travelled were strongly correlated, and were greatest during incubation. The estimated rate of travel (mean velocity) was constant across individuals and stages in the breeding season. No diurnal patterns in rates of travel were detected, nor any patterns on different days of a foraging trip. A meander coefficient (the degree of linear travel, to give an indication of foraging activity) was constant between stages in the breeding season, and day of the foraging trip, but was greater from 07:00 to 18:00 h, suggesting increased foraging activity. Foraging during all stages of the breeding season was offshore, in deep water (greater than 2000 m) and in the polar frontal zone. During the incubation stage the foraging zones were circular, with a low Foraging Zone Coefficient (FZC: maximum distance from the colony divided by area of the foraging zone), but more direct with a higher FZC after chicks hatched. These different patterns are thought to be associated with prey resources in the region. It is concluded that the foraging behaviour of royal penguins is closely linked to the polar frontal zone, their prey, and the constraints of the breeding season.

T1  - Acid habituation of Escherichia coli and the potential role of cyclopropane fatty acids in low pH tolerance
AN  - 16252970; 4233731
AB  - A reversible adaptive tolerance to low pH termed `acid habituation' is demonstrated for five strains of Escherichia coli. Superimposed upon the intrinsic acid tolerance of individual strains, acid habituation significantly enhances the survival of exponential phase cultures exposed to a lethal acid challenge (pH 3.0), and minimises inter-strain variability in acid tolerance. The fatty acid composition of acid habituated, non-habituated, and de-habituated exponential phase cultures is also reported. During acid habituation, monounsaturated fatty acids (16:1 omega 7c and 18:1 omega 7c) present in the phospholipids of E. coli are either converted to their cyclopropane derivatives (cy 17:0 and cy 19:0), or replaced by saturated fatty acids. The acid tolerance of individual strains of E. coli appears to be correlated with membrane cyclopropane fatty acid content and, thus, it is postulated that increased levels of cyclopropane fatty acids may enhance the survival of microbial cells exposed to low pH. The results presented illustrate the remarkable capacity of E. coli to adapt to environmental challenges, and have significant implications for the survival of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, and hence for food safety.

T1  - The influence of density stratification on particle settling, dispersion and population growth
AN  - 16252108; 4239682
AB  - Density stratification is common throughout much of our atmosphere, oceans and inland waters. It can have a strong influence on the sinking and flotation of a wide range of particulate matter, including organisms whose life cycle incorporates a water or airborne phase. Ecologically significant examples range from the dispersion of pollen, larvae and plankton, to the dispersion and deposition of sediment bound organic solids and heavy metals. While the biological effects of settling have been studied in turbulent environments, the influence of stratification has not previously been quantified. Here we develop a theory to predict the time dependent particle concentrations throughout a fluid characterised by non-uniform stratification. Factors such as dispersion, deposition and growth of particle populations have been incorporated into the model. It is shown that stratification can significantly enhance settling rates and thereby influence the survival and dispersion of colonising populations. The theory also provides simple physical explanations for commonly observed features of particle distributions, such as subsurface maxima and the onset and decay of algal blooms.

T1  - Immune response to the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin in patients with cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139
AN  - 16237786; 4226198
AB  - The mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) is a type 4 pilus present in Vibrio cholerae O1 strains of the El Tor biotype, as well as in strains of serogroup O139. It has been shown to be a colonization antigen in animal models. The aim of this study was to investigate systemic and local antibody responses to MSHA in adult patients with cholera due to V. cholerae O1 and O139. Twenty-four of 28 (86%) patients with O1 cholera and 11 of 17 (65%) patients with O139 cholera showed significant increases in MSHA-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) 7 days after the onset of disease. However, the magnitude of the ASC response in O1 cholera patients was significantly higher than that in the O139 cholera patients in both IgA-producing (P = 0.015) and IgM-producing (P = 0.029) cells. Both groups of patients responded with antibody responses to MSHA in plasma, seroconverting with both IgA (63 to 70% of patients) and IgG (43 to 59% of patients) antibodies. Compared to the MSHA-specific antibody levels determined in healthy controls (n = 10), more than 90% of O1 and O139 cholera patients showed responses to MSHA of both the IgA and the IgG isotypes. About 70% of the patients in both groups also had antibody responses to MSHA in their feces. In summary, we demonstrated that MSHA is immunogenic, giving rise to both systemic and local antibodies in patients with cholera due to both O1 and O139 serogroups.

T1  - A bioregional framework for planning the national system of protected areas in Australia
AN  - 16221552; 4221231
AB  - Australia is a federation of eight states and territories, each of which controls its own protected areas system. These together with the federal system make nine separate protected areas systems. Each system has developed in a different way, with a variety of operational goals and terminology. A key requirement for cooperation between these jurisdictions - an agreed upon national classification of ecosystems or environments - was lacking until recently. The development of a national classification of ecosystems, termed the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), by the agencies responsible for nature conservation, represents a significant breakthrough for planning and implementation of national conservation initiatives in Australia. A series of conservation planning attributes have been integrated into the IBRA to establish a bioregional planning framework for assessing the relative distribution of conservation values and priorities within each region. This paper describes the benefits of using the IBRA as the top layer in a bioregional framework, along with the need to continue developments in finer scale regionalizations that include cultural and social values. Through the integration of environmental, cultural, and social values, Australia is working to identify deficiencies in the existing systems of protected areas and to establish priorities for filling these gaps.

T1  - Alcoholic beverages and lipid peroxidation: Relevance to cardiovascular disease
AN  - 16079938; 4114082
AB  - Overall there is good evidence that alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress, and leads to lipid peroxidation, effects which have been linked to alcohol-related toxicity and disease and may be relevant to alcohol-atherosclerosis interrelationships. On the other hand, a protective effect of light to moderate alcohol consumption against cardiovascular disease is well recognized, with the further hypothesis that red wine offers extra cardiovascular protection due to its rich content of antioxidant phenolic compounds. Although this hypothesis is given some credence from in vitro data, controlled studies in humans have produced conflicting results. Clearly, the equally well described pro-oxidant effects of alcohol and its metabolism have been insufficiently considered in the pursuit of what to many is an intuitively attractive hypothesis. Further studies are required to determine if red wine phenolics are actually absorbed from the gut and whether they offer any overall antioxidant protection in vivo. The hypothesis that red wine offers extra cardiovascular protection compared to other alcoholic beverages is not proven and must await the outcome of studies in which the full spectrum of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant effects of alcoholic beverages are duly considered. In the absence of such studies, there are no grounds at present for the promotion of the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the basis of their putative "antioxidant" properties.

T1  - Production of eicosapentaenoic and arachidonic acids by an Antarctic bacterium: Response to growth temperature
AN  - 16037062; 4089159
AB  - A psychrophilic bacterium, designated strain 651, was isolated from Antarctic sea ice collected from Prydz Bay, Eastern Antarctica. The fatty acid composition of the strain was characteristic of the Flavobacterium-Cytophaga-Microscillia group. The bacterium also produced 12.2-2.6% eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 omega 3) and 1.4-2.7% arachidonic acid (20:4 omega 6). To our knowledge this is the first report of a bacterium that contains elevated proportions of both fatty acids. The proportion of eicosapentaenoic acid responded to growth temperature in a linear manner over the temperature range 2-15 degree C while the percentage of arachidonic acid remained relatively unchanged. Eicosapentaenoic acid appears to modulate both lipid phase and fluidity in response to temperature within the cellular membrane of strain 651, while arachidonic acid does not appear to be involved in this response. Further study of the polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic mechanisms of strain 651 may yield significant information regarding the relationship between prokaryotic and eukaryotic polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.

T1  - Psychroserpens burtonensis gen. nov., sp. nov., and Gelidibacter algens gen. nov., sp. nov., psychrophilic bacteria isolated from Antarctic lacustrine and sea ice habitats
AN  - 16024722; 4095890
AB  - Psychrophilic, yellow-pigmented, seawater-requiring bacteria isolated from the pycnocline of meromictic Burton Lake and from sea ice cores obtained in the Vestfold Hills (68 degree S, 78 degree E) in eastern Antarctica were characterized. Phenotypic analysis showed that the strains isolated formed two distinct taxa. The first taxon included nonmotile, nutritionally fastidious strains that were isolated from the pycnocline of Burton Lake. The cells of these strains were morphologically variant, ranging from vibrioid to ring shaped to coiled and filamentous; in addition, the strains were unable to metabolize carbohydrates or polysaccharides and had DNA G+C contents of 27 to 29 mol%. The strains of the second taxon, which were isolated from sea ice cores and from ice algal biomass, were saccharolytic, exhibited rapid gliding motility, were rodlike to filamentous, and had DNA G+C contents of 36 to 38 mol%. A 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence analysis revealed that the two Antarctic taxa formed related but distinct lineages within the [Flexibacter] maritimus rRNA branch of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The levels of 16S rDNA sequence similarity between the taxa were 90.5 to 91.3%, while the levels of similarity to other members of the [F.] maritimus rRNA branch were 85 to 90%. The whole-cell lipid profiles of the Antarctic strains were mainly comprised of branched and unbranched monounsaturated C sub(15) to C sub(17) fatty acids. The presence of significant levels of the lipids a 15:1 omega 10c and a17:1 omega 7c appeared to be useful biomarkers for the new Antarctic taxa and for differentiating these organisms from other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic data we propose that the new taxa are novel bacterial species designated Psychroserpens burtonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain, ACAM 188) and Gelidibacter algens gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain, ACAM 536).

T1  - A warm future in the past
AN  - 15985406; 4082357
AB  - To understand the impact of a possibly warmer future climate, geologists are searching the past for warmer-than-present interglacial intervals--examples of what we may expect in a world with more greenhouse gases than ours. A common tactic is to look at the last interglacial (around 120,000 years ago), but a period 423,000 to 362,000 years ago may fit the bill better, because the Earth's orbital geometry has been similar during the Holocene (the present interglacial period) to what it was then. This period is known to palaeoclimatologists as stage 11 or "MIS 11", according to a numbering system for glacial advances and retreats marked in the marine oxygen isotope record. At a recent symposium, evidence emerged of extreme climatic variation and peculiar interplays between ocean temperature, thermohaline circulation, plankton ecology, sea level and reef growth during MIS 11, all of which may provide insight into the response of the natural carbon cycle to future climate change.

T1  - Brain Asymmetry as a Potential Biomarker for Developmental TCDD Intoxication: A Dose-Response Study
AN  - 14482316; 10543828
AB  - Chicken eggs were injected with various concentrations of TCDD to monitor the effect of the compound on brain symmetry during embryonic development. Results showed that TCDD exposure caused chicken embryo brain asymmetry that was similar to that found in three wildlife bird species. For all measured ages, the severity and frequency of asymmetry was related to dose. Asymmetry was noted on gestational day nine, when the braincase was thin and flexible, showing that the compound acted on the brain, and not on the braincase.

T1  - Promotion of Endometriosis in Mice by Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins, Dibenzofurans, and Biphenyls
AN  - 14481334; 10543830
AB  - Female mice were exposed to various concentrations of 2,3,7,8- or 1,3,6,8-TCDD, PCB 153, PCB 126, or 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran five times at three week intervals. Within the week of the second dose, endometriosis was induced by surgery. Mice were sacrificed three weeks after the final dose, and organs and lesions were weighed. Lesion size was also determined. Endometrial lesion growth was enhanced by exposure to 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran and 2,3,7,8-TCDD. These compounds and PCB 126 also induced activity of hepatic ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase. The results showed that the Ah receptor may mediate endometriosis promoted by halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons.

T1  - Magnesium Inhibits Nickel-Induced Genotoxicity and Formation of Reactive Oxygen
AN  - 14480664; 10543829
AB  - Occupational exposure to nickel increases incidence of lung and nasal cancers. Exposure of the BALB/3T3 fibroblast cell line to nickel subsulfide caused cellular proliferation that was reduced by exposure to magnesium. In this cell line, magnesium reduced the number of micronuclei formed by nickel exposure. In cells of the Chinese hamster ovary, nickel exposure increased the number of cross links between DNA and protein. Magnesium reduced the number of cross links caused by nickel exposure. Accumulation of nickel was increased in cells exposed only to nickel subsulfide, but such accumulation was reduced by addition of magnesium carbonate. Magnesium suppressed the increase in formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine stimulated by nickel when hydrogen peroxide and ascorbic acid were present.

T1  - Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Cellular Damage in Human Fetal Lung Fibroblasts (MRC-5 Cells)
AN  - 14480606; 10543827
AB  - Fibroblasts of the human fetal lung (MRC-5 cells) were exposed to various concentrations of cadmium, to determine the effects of the metal on various parameters of oxidative damage to cells. Leakage of lactate dehydrogenase and production of malondialdehyde increased as dose and duration of exposure increased. Since both events are related to lipid peroxidation, this process is implicated as a major cytotoxic pathway. Addition of antioxidant enzymes inhibited lipid peroxidation and cell damage. Reactive oxidant species production that was probably hydrogen peroxide, was increased in cells exposed to cadmium. Mitochondrial damage was also found in cadmium exposed cells. The damage to the fibroblasts may be related to the toxicity of cadmium to the human lung.

T1  - Opportunity Programs: Opening the Doors to Higher Education. Hearing on Examining Proposed Legislation Authorizing Funds for Programs of the Higher Education Act, Focusing on Those Programs Which Provide Support Services and Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students, Including Institutional Aid to Colleges and Universities, of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62501296; ED411756
AB  - This hearing, the ninth in a series discussing issues related to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, focuses on three programs: Aid for Institutional Development, or Title III; the National Early Intervention Scholarship and Partnership Program; and the TRIO programs, which provide support services and scholarships for students, as well as institutional aid to colleges and universities and are intended to assist low-income, first-generation college students. The following witnesses made statements: (1) Moses Griffin, Wilberforce University (Ohio), who suggested that common evaluation criteria are inadequate for judging program effectiveness at historically black colleges and universities; (2) R. Vic Morgan, Sul Ross State University (Texas); who discussed the role of Title III at Hispanic-serving institutions; (3) Linda Shiller, speaking on behalf of the National Early Intervention Scholarship and Partnership Program, who discussed the programs of the Vermont Student Assistance Program; and (4) Ann Coles, who spoke on behalf of the National Council of Educational Opportunity Associations, and noted that over 2 million TRIO program participants had graduated from colleges over the past 30 years. Additional materials from the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities are appended. (CH)

T1  - Pre to 3: Policy Implications of Child Brain Development. Hearing on Examining the Status of Medical and Scientific Findings into Prenatal and Postnatal Brain Development and Implications That Federal Policies Have on Childhood Development, before the Subcommittee on Children and Families of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62517040; ED411973
AB  - These hearings transcripts present testimony concerning the status of medical and scientific findings on prenatal and postnatal brain development and the implications of federal policies for childhood development. Testimony was offered by Senators Dan Coats (Indiana) and Christopher Dodd (Connecticut); psychology professor Edward Zigler of Yale University; medical and psychological researchers; and spokespersons for child and family advocacy groups. The senators focused on the importance of early brain development and its impact on later development and government programs that assist families in raising children such as Head Start and the Family Medical Leave Act. Medical and university representatives described results of positron emission tomography studies of biochemical brain activity, comparative analyses of brain activity in normal and deprived infants, the critical period in brain growth, auditorially-mediated learning and auditory perception in human newborns, the impact of prenatal substance abuse and postnatal abuse on brain development, and the importance of early experience. Professor Zigler maintained that American society does not support optimal early development and recommended expanding the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, addressing the problem of child care, and supporting expanded parent education programs. A clinical psychologist commented on the need to nurture developing attachment relationships and expressed concerns about day care quality. Child and family advocates recommended that the dependent child care tax credit be made universal and noted bills which could assist home-based businesses and telecommuting employees. Materials supporting the testimony are attached. (KB)

T1  - Anti-HIV ribozymes
AN  - 815536172; 13859659
AB  - HIV is an RNA virus that replicates intracellularly through various RNA intermediates. Several of these can be targeted by ribozymes (catalytic RNA molecules), and a number of investigators, including this group, have demonstrated the ability of ribozymes to suppress HIV replication in this way. It is argued that this gene therapy approach may be viewed as an adjunct to chemotherapeutic drugs, which may allow not just viral suppression, but also immune restoration. This can only finally be tested in clinical trials, and several are planned. The basic ribozyme unit, the potential of which was described less than 10 years ago, is about to be tested in an amenable disease state.

T1  - Advanced Telecommunications in U.S. Private Schools, K-12: Fall 1995. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62627096; ED409894
AB  - This document provides data from a nationally representative sample of private elementary, secondary, and combined schools in the United States and District of Columbia in the fall 1995. Twenty-five percent of private schools had access to the Internet. By comparison, 50% of public schools were on the Internet. Access to the Internet varied by instructional level of the school and size of enrollment; 57% of private secondary schools had Internet access compared with 23% of elementary schools and 19% of schools combining elementary and secondary grades. Almost all private schools (95%) were equipped with computers. On average, there were 24 computers per private school and an average of 9 private school students per computer. Nonsectarian schools reported fewer students per computer (6) than Catholic schools (10) and other religious schools. Nine percent of all the computers in private schools had Internet access and there were 99 students for every computer with Internet access. The percent of computers on the Internet in nonsectarian private schools was almost four times higher than the percent in schools with religious affiliations. Nonsectarian schools reported the lowest ratio of students per Internet connected computer--25 to 1. The ratio of students per computer with Internet access also varied by instructional level. Five percent of all instructional rooms in private schools had Internet access. Seventy-three percent of private schools provided access in one or more instructional rooms. Nonsectarian schools were more likely than Catholic schools to provide classroom access to the Internet. Of private schools with Internet access, 94% had e-mail, 72% had World Wide Web access, 69% had access to newsgroups, and 67% had search capability services. Ninety-four percent of private schools connected to wide area networks by modem. Teachers and staff had the largest role in developing private schools' advanced telecommunications activities, followed by parents. Fourteen percent of private schools had a full-time network administrator. Four in 10 private schools that did not have Internet access had plans to obtain access in the future. Funding was the most frequently cited barrier to the acquisition or use of advanced telecommunications in private schools. Twenty-one tables present statistics and standard errors for tables. The survey instrument is included. (AEF)

T1  - Projections of Education Statistics to 2007.
AN  - 62621083; ED408367
AB  - "Projections of Education Statistics to 2007" is the 26th report in a series begun in 1964 that revises projections annually to show 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. In addition, this report contains projections of public school elementary and secondary enrollment and high school graduates to the year 2007 at the state level. These projections are not intended to supplant detailed projections prepared in the individual states. Projections in this report reflect revisions influenced by the 1990 Census and its 1995 estimates. A methodology section describes models and assumptions used to develop the 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. The first alternative set, the middle alternative, is considered to be the most likely projection, but the high and low alternatives present a reasonable range of outcomes. Total public and private elementary and secondary school enrollment is projected to increase to 54.3 million by the year 2007, an increase of 7% from 1995. Higher education enrollment is projected to increase from an estimated 13.9 million in 1995 to 16.1 million in 2007. Accompanying these increases will be increases in the numbers of high school and college graduates and classroom teachers. Four appendixes contain technical information, supplementary tables, remarks on data sources, and a glossary. (Contains 1 chart, 71 figures, 52 tables, 26 methodological tables, and 12 supplementary tables.) (SLD)

T1  - The Condition of Education, 1997.
AN  - 62611447; ED404766
AB  - The 1997 "Condition of Education" is an indicator report, analyzing key data that measure the health of education, monitor important developments, and show trends in major aspects of education. The report first presents four "Issues in Focus": (1) "The Social Context of Education"; (2) "Women in Mathematics and Science"; (3) "Public and Private Schools: How Do They Differ?; and (4) "Postsecondary Persistence and Attainment." Following the discussion of issues are 60 indicators of the current status of education, 18 of which are new. The indicators are divided into six areas: (1) access, participation, and progress; (2) achievement, attainment, and curriculum; (3) economic and other outcomes of education; (4) organization and management of educational institutions; (5) climate and diversity of educational institutions; and (6) human and financial resources of educational institutions. The report includes the text, tables, and charts for each indicator plus the technical supporting data, supplemental information, and data sources. Information on issues in elementary and secondary education are integrated with those on issues in postsecondary education to reflect the continuity of educational experiences. Appendices comprise over half of the publication and contain supplemental tables and notes, a list of data sources, a glossary, an index, and a list of selected publications of the National Center for Education Statistics.

T1  - Feasibility of Conducting Followup Surveys in the National Household Education Survey. Technical Report.
AN  - 62609292; ED408369
AB  - The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a data collection system of the National Center for Education Statistics, which has the legislative mission of collecting and publishing data on the condition of education in the United States. The NHES provides information on educational issues that are best addressed by contacting households rather than educational institutions. It is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States. As part of a methodological study, the NHES for 1991 contained an experiment to test the feasibility of using the NHES as a mechanism to conduct longitudinal studies of young children. This report describes the design, procedures, and results of the followup survey. In NHES:91, parents of children aged 3 to 8 years were surveyed about the care and education of their children for the NHES Early Childhood Education component. The feasibility of a longitudinal followup survey was tested by drawing a random subsample of children from that survey and attempting to locate the same respondents about 1 year later. A sample of 513 children was selected, and of the 452 parents or guardians located in the followup, 90% were successfully interviewed at the later date. Implications for longitudinal studies are discussed. It appears that the longitudinal response rate for such a survey would probably be about 62 to 65%. (Contains 8 tables, 1 figure, 1 exhibit, and 22 references.) (SLD)

T1  - Profiles of Students with Disabilities as Identified in NELS:88.
AN  - 62607835; ED409663
AB  - This report summarizes characteristics of students with disabilities in the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:88), which conducted a base-year survey in 1988 of all U.S. public and private schools containing eighth grades, followed up at 2-year intervals in 1990, 1992, and 1994. Among general observations are the following: (1) students identified in NELS:88 as disabled tended to have greater difficulties in school and realized fewer positive outcomes of schooling; (2) relatively small percentages of students with disabilities as identified by NELS:88 perceived themselves or were identified by school officials as having received special education services during high school; and (3) teachers in NELS:88 were perceptive judges of which students were failing to perform well in the classroom, but linking the identification of disability status to classroom performance may blur the distinction between students with disabilities and students at risk. After an introductory chapter, individual chapters address the following issues concerning students with disabilities: disability identification, students' background characteristics, school experiences, and educational outcomes. A concluding chapter lists characteristics of populations identified as disabled by both parents and teachers and only by teachers, not by parents. Four appendices list NELS:88 indicators of disability, NELS:88 disability estimates based on alternative disability definitions, and research/technical notes. (Contains 12 references.) (DB)

T1  - Transfer Behavior among Beginning Postsecondary Students: 1989-94. Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62603345; ED408929
AB  - This report analyzes patterns of undergraduate transfer behavior of students who entered postsecondary education during the academic year 1989-90. Data were derived from the spring 1994 follow-up of the 1990 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study. The report notes that attendance at multiple institutions is widespread: at 4-year institutions almost half of beginning students enrolled elsewhere within 5 years, although only 25 percent transferred; and at community colleges, 25 percent were identified as working toward a bachelor's degree. The report data, which are summarized in 9 figures and 28 tables, and the discussion cover the following areas: (1) definition of transfer; (2) the general phenomenon of attendance at multiple institutions; (3) transfer activity in general; (4) transfer from 4-year institutions; (5) transfer from public 2-year to 4-year institutions; and (5) transfer activities, controlling for background. Three appendixes provide reference tables, a glossary, and technical notes and methodology. (Contains 12 references.) (CH)

T1  - Protecting the Privacy of Student Records. Guidelines for Education Agencies.
AN  - 62602435; ED409622
AB  - Education-agency and school staff are legally and ethically responsible for safeguarding student information. In addition to federal and state laws and regulations, education agencies need policies and procedures to guide their everyday information-maintenance operations. This document provides examples of policies and procedures as well as guidelines for deciding what is needed to ensure the privacy of student information. Section 1 provides an overview of the issues and discusses important concepts and terminology used throughout the document. Section 2 describes federal laws protecting the privacy of students that have implications for the maintenance and release of student data by state and local education agencies. The third section describes appropriate procedures for collecting individual information about students. Section 4 explains the management controls and policies needed to maintain and use data within the agency or school. It also addresses the issue of assessing who in an agency or school has a "legitimate educational interest" in specific information about an individual student. The fifth section describes procedures for providing access to a student's education record by the eligible student or the parent. The final section suggests procedures for handling external requests to release information from individual school records. The appendices contain the text of key federal rules and regulations. A topical index, section summary, an index of commonly asked questions, and 22 exhibits are included. Each section includes references, an overview, commonly asked questions, and guidelines. (LMI)

T1  - Women's Colleges in the United States: History, Issues, and Challenges.
AN  - 62596337; ED409815
AB  - This book examines the role of women's colleges in the United States from the early 1800s to the present. It reviews how they began, how they changed as more colleges became coeducational, and the legality of publically supported single-sex colleges. The book also looks at what women's colleges are like today and examines differences in institutional effects for students who choose to attend women's colleges versus those who attend coeducational institutions. The four chapters, written by different authors, are titled: (1) "Women's Colleges in the United States, A Historical Context" (Elizabeth DeBra); (2) "Women's Colleges in the United States, Recent Issues and Challenges" (Irene Harwarth and Florence Fasanelli); (3) "Women's Colleges in the United States, A Statistical Portrait" (Irene Harwarth); and (4) "Women's Colleges in the United States, An Overview of Research and Questions for the Future" (Mindi Maline). An appendix contains 18 tables with data on enrollment by size and type of institution, by geographic region, and for selected years; degrees awarded; staffing at private 4-year colleges by occupational category, sex, and Carnegie classification; and average salary of full-time faculty at women's colleges by sex and Carnegie classification.

T1  - The Handbook of Child and Elder Care Resources.
AN  - 62505638; ED413089
AB  - Approximately 700,000 Federal employees have children under age 13; at least an equal number of Federal employees are estimated to have concerns about their elderly parents and relatives. This handbook was developed primarily to put government employees in touch with the many free resource organizations and agencies around the country that can help them meet their dependent care needs. It also provides practical tips on how to find quality child care, information about federal personnel programs that can help to balance work and family responsibilities, and places to call for further information on related topics, such as obtaining financial assistance. The handbook is divided into three parts: Child Care, Elder Care, and Work and Family Programs. Part I suggests practical steps to take in finding quality child care, including questions to ask during the initial telephone screening and a checklist of things to observe when visiting child care centers or homes. It also provides a directory of resource and referral services around the country, and a list of federal and national organizations that can help parents learn about quality child care. Part II explains a variety of community resources that are offered around the country to help older adults function independently, and discusses housing options, financial and medical considerations, nursing homes, and home health care agencies. It also provides a short summary of the services provided by federal and national organizations which can help employees meet their elder care needs. The last part provides information on the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) Work and Family Program Center and government-wide personnel flexibility; and on programs, policies, and leave options to help employees balance their work and family demands.

This sketch touches on the findings of Coleman's extensive research done in compliance with the Civil Rights Act, which required that educational facilties in the South be investigated to measure inequalities & judge how they contributed to educational outcomes worse than in schools in other parts of the country. The research led to the "politically incorrect" conclusion that family, not inadequate facilities, was the root of the problem. C. Ray

T1  - Generalised Morality and the Problem of Transition to an Impersonal Exchange Regime: A Response to Platteau
AN  - 61490550; 9716181
AB  - Addresses the problem of transition from a personalized exchange regime (that characterizes most less-developed countries) to the more impersonal form of exchange that marks advanced market economies. Efforts in this area have received impetus from the discussion launched by Jean-Philippe Platteau (1994 [see abstract 9502930] & in this issue]) who seeks to clarify the social conditions that allow the market system to evolve. While the role of private & public order institutions in generating market order is recognized, this is regarded as inadequate, necessitating the invocation of "generalized morality" to complete the explanation. It is argued that a closer look at the historical role of risk-bearing institutions, especially financial institutions, does not need to be invoked. Evidence from the Bangladesh rice market is adduced in support of the contention that there exist elements even within a "traditional" exchange regime that can evolve into modern, impersonal forms. This argument is elaborated through regional contrasts. 1 Table, 35 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Alveolar breath sampling and analysis to assess trihalomethane exposures during competitive swimming training.
AN  - 21357973; 7709359
AB  - Alveolar breath sampling was used to assess trihalomethane (THM) exposures encountered by collegiate swimmers during a typical 2-hr training period in an indoor natatorium. The breath samples were collected at regular intervals before, during, and for 3 hr after a moderately intense training workout. Integrated and grab whole-air samples were collected during the training period to help determine inhalation exposures, and pool water samples were collected to help assess dermal exposures. Resulting breath samples collected during the workout demonstrated a rapid uptake of two THMs (chloroform and bromodichloromethane), with chloroform concentrations exceeding the natatorium air levels within 8 min after the exposure began. Chloroform levels continued to rise steeply until they were more than two times the indoor levels, providing evidence that the dermal route of exposure was relatively rapid and ultimately more important than the inhalation route in this training scenario. Chloroform elimination after the exposure period was fitted to a three compartment model that allowed estimation of compartmental half-lives, resulting minimum bloodborne dose, and an approximation of the duration of elevated body burdens. We estimated the dermal exposure route to account for 80% of the blood chloroform concentration and the transdermal diffusion efficiency from the water to the blood to in excess of 2%. Bromodichloromethane elimination was fitted to a two compartment model which provided evidence of a small, but measurable, body burden of this THM resulting from vigorous swim training. These results suggest that trihalomethane exposures for competitive swimmers under prolonged, high-effort training are common and possibly higher than was previously thought and that the dermal exposure route is dominant. The exposures and potential risks associated with this common recreational activity should be more thoroughly investigated. Images Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Figure 5.

T1  - Biomarkers of gene expression: growth factors and oncoproteins.
AN  - 21272530; 11701805
AB  - This article reviews the literature on the application of methods for the detection of growth factors, oncogene proteins, and tumor-suppressor gene proteins in the blood of humans with cancer or who are at risk for the development of cancer. The research summarized here suggests that many of these biomarker assays can be used to distinguish between diseased and nondiseased states and in some instances may be able to predict susceptibility for future disease. Thus, these biomarkers could be valuable tools for monitoring at-risk populations for purposes of disease prevention and control.

T1  - Breast cancer risk and environmental exposures.
AN  - 21270525; 11701800
AB  - Although environmental contaminants have potential to affect breast cancer risk, explicit environmental links to this disease are limited. The most well-defined environmental risk factors are radiation exposure and alcohol ingestion. Diet is clearly related to the increased incidence of breast cancer in developed countries, but its precise role is not yet established. Recent studies have implicated exposure to organochlorines including DDT as a risk factor for breast cancer in the United States, Finland, Mexico, and Canada. Other investigations have discovered associations between breast cancer risk and exposures to chemical emissions and some occupational exposures. Several points must be considered in evaluating the relationship of environmental exposure to breast cancer. Among these considerations are the mechanism of tumorigenesis, timing of environmental exposure, and genetic modulation of exposure. Epidemiologic and ecologic investigations must take into account the very complex etiology of breast cancer and the knowledge that tumorigenesis can arise from different mechanisms. Thus crucial exposures as well as reproductive events related to breast cancer may occur years before a tumor is evident. Moreover, environmental contaminants may alter reproductive development, directly or indirectly, and thereby effect the course of tumorigenesis. Such alterations include change in gender, change in onset of puberty, and inhibition or promotion of tumor formation. Timing of exposure is therefore important with respect to mechanism and susceptibility. Finally, genetic polymorphisms exist in genes that govern capacity to metabolize environmental contaminants. Higher risk may occur among persons whose enzymes either are more active in the production of procarcinogens or fail to detoxify carcinogenic intermediates formed from chemicals in the environment.

T1  - Cancer chemoprevention and therapy by monoterpenes.
AN  - 21263475; 11703697
AB  - Monoterpenes are found in the essential oils of many plants including fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They prevent the carcinogenesis process at both the initiation and promotion/progression stages. In addition, monoterpenes are effective in treating early and advanced cancers. Monoterpenes such as limonene and perillyl alcohol have been shown to prevent mammary, liver, lung, and'other cancers. These compounds have also been used to treat a variety of rodent cancers, including breast and pancreatic carcinomas. In addition, in vitro data suggest that they may be effective in treating neuroblastomas and leukemias. Both limonene and perillyl alcohol are currently being evaluated in phase I clinical trials in advanced cancer patients. The monoterpenes have several cellular and molecular activities that could potentially underlie their positive therapeutic index. The monoterpenes inhibit the isoprenylation of small G proteins. Such inhibitions could alter signal transduction and result in altered gene expression. The results of a new gene expression screen-subtractive display-have identified or confirmed several up- or downregulated genes in regressing mammary carcinomas. For example, these regressing tumors overexpress the mannose 6-phosphate/IGF II receptor. The product of the gene both degrades the mammary tumor mitogen IGF II and activates the cytostatic factor TGF-beta. These and other alterations in the gene expression of mammary carcinomas lead to a G1 cell cycle block, followed by apoptosis, redifferentiation, and finally complete tumor regression in which tumor parenchyma is replaced by stromal elements. It is likely that monoterpenes prevent mammary cancer during their progression stage by mechanisms similar to those that occur during therapy. In contrast, prevention of mammary cancer by polycyclic hydrocarbons such as 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene occur by the induction of detoxifying phase II hepatic enzymes.

T1  - Native cellular fluorescence and its application to cancer prevention.
AN  - 21261975; 11704945
AB  - Native cellular fluorescence (NCF) represents the innate capacity of tissues to absorb and emit light of specified wavelengths. Recent advances in optical engineering and computer technology have provided the, opportunity to measure NCF characteristics of various tissues in vivo. This report will briefly review the current status of NCF analysis of various neoplastic tissues. The status of investigations involving the upper aerodigestive tract will be discussed. Though initial results demonstrate that neoplastic tissues can be discriminated from normal mucosa by NCF analysis, the biologic basis of this difference remains uncertain. This report will also emphasize that the ability to screen for cancer in aerodigestive mucosa may be enhanced through the assessment of multiple emission and excitation wavelengths. The true nature of the cellular fluorophores responsible for these mucosal spectral characteristics should be more fully defined in coming years.

T1  - Roles of retinoids and their nuclear receptors in the development and prevention of upper aerodigestive tract cancers.
AN  - 21261424; 11703689
AB  - Vitamin A analogs (retinoids) suppress oral and lung carcinogenesis in animal models and prevent the development of second primary tumors in head, neck, and lung cancer patients. These effects result from changes in the expression of genes that regulate cell growth and differentiation. Retinoic acid receptors (RARs; -alpha, -beta, and -gamma) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs; -alpha, -beta, and, -gamma) are retinoid-activated transcription factors, which mediate effects of retinoids on gene expression. Therefore, alterations in receptor expression or function could interfere with the retinoid signaling pathway and thereby enhance cancer development. We found that the expression of RAR beta was suppressed in more than 50% of oral and lung premalignant lesions in individuals without cancer and in dysplastic lesions adjacent to cancer and in malignant oral and lung carcinomas. The expression of the other receptors was not different among normal, dysplastic, and malignant oral tissues. However, the expression of RAR gamma and RXR beta was somewhat decreased in lung cancers. These results show that RAR beta expression is lost at early stages of carcinogenesis in the aerodigestive tract and support the hypothesis that the loss of RAR beta expression may facilitate the development of some of these cancers.

T1  - Epidemiology of ultraviolet-DNA repair capacity and human cancer.
AN  - 21261020; 11701798
AB  - The following conclusions are derived from an epidemiological study. Reduced repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage contributes directly to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in individuals with prior sunlight overexposure. A family history of BCC is a predictor of low DNA repair. Repair of UV-damaged DNA declines at a fixed rate of approximately 1% per annum in noncancerous controls. The DNA repair differences between young BCC cases and their controls disappear as they age. Hence, BCC, in terms of DNA repair, is a premature aging disease. The persistence of photochemical damage because of reduced repair results in point mutations in the p53 gene and allelic loss of the nevoid BCC gene (Gorlin's syndrome) located on chromosome 9q. The fact that environmental vulnerability is gender oriented implicates hormones in regulating DNA repair. Xeroderma pigmentosum appears to be a valid paradigm for the role of DNA repair in BCC in the general population.

T1  - The role of human glutathione transferases and epoxide hydrolases in the metabolism of xenobiotics.
AN  - 21260347; 11703693
AB  - Human glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a multigene family of enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of a wide range of electrophilic compounds of both exogenous and endogenous origin. GSTs are generally recognized as detoxifying enzymes by catalyzing the conjugation of these compounds with glutathione, but they may also be involved in activation of some carcinogens. The memmalian GSTs can be differentiated into four classes of cytosolic enzymes and two membrane bound enzymes. Human epoxide hydrolases (EHs) catalyze the addition of water to epoxides to form the corresponding dihydrodiol. The enzymatic hydration is essentially irreversible and produces mainly metabolites of lower reactivity that can be conjugated and excreted. The reaction of EHs is therefore generally regarded as detoxifying. The mammalian EHs can be distinguished by their physical and enzymatic properties. Microsomal EH (mEH) exhibits a broad substrate specificity, while the soluble EH (sEH) is an enzyme with a "complementary" substrate specificity to mEH. Cholesterol EH and leukotriene A4 hydrolase are two EHs with very limited substrate specificity. The activities of either GSTs or EHs expressed in vivo exhibit a relatively large interindividual variation, which might be explained by induction, inhibition, or genetic factors. These variations in levels or activities of individual isoenzymes are of importance with respect to an individual's susceptibility to genotoxic effects. This article gives a general overview of GSTs and EHs, discussing the modulation of activities, determination of these enzymes ex vivo, and the polymorphic expression of some isoenzymes.

T1  - Methods for and approaches to evaluating susceptibility of ecological systems to hazardous chemicals.
AN  - 21259451; 11703694
AB  - Differences in genetic susceptibility to hazardous chemicals affect individuals of both human and nonhuman populations. In both cases, differences in response to chemicals or general ill health result as a function of these differences in genetic susceptibility. However, ecological systems are a compilation of hundreds or even thousands of different species, resulting in structural and functional characteristics that are themselves affected by differences in susceptibility. Although individual and population differences in susceptibility to hazardous chemicals underlie effects at the community and the ecosystem level, they do not account for all differences. I propose a two-tiered approach to evaluating susceptibility to ecological systems: a general susceptibility as a function of ecosystem type (based on structure and function of that system) and a differential in susceptibility within broad ecosystem types as a function of biotic and abiotic factors. In terrestrial ecosystems, the two factors that most affect overall susceptibility are species diversity and hydrology; evaluation of the effects of hazardous chemicals involves measuring species diversity and water movement. This same methodological approach can be applied to aquatic ecosystems and to highly altered ecosystems such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and urbanization.

T1  - Metabolic activation of toxins: tissue-specific expression and metabolism in target organs.
AN  - 21259225; 11703696
AB  - Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes catalyze the generation of reactive species capable of binding with cellular macromolecules, leading to acute and delayed toxicity. Since individual CYP forms differ markedly in their substrate preferences and regulation, the expression profiles of CYP in various cell types are important determinants in tissue-specific toxicity. The highest concentrations of most forms of CYP are found in liver, but they are also present in many extrahepatic organs. Liver is also a target organ in which CYP-mediated activation and toxic outcome have been most convincingly linked. Prime examples are paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity and aflatoxin B1-associated hepatic cancer. In contrast to liver, most extrahepatic tissues are composed of multiple call types, which make experimental approaches difficult. Also the low abundance of individual forms is a challenge in the study of extrahepatic CYP-related toxicity. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of molecular biological techniques, e.g., reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions, which facilitate the study of low abundant CYP forms in human tissues. Nevertheless, in the end we need definite information on the expression of activity, and for this purpose enzyme-specific substrates, reactions, and inhibitors and other methods to detect proteins and associated activities are needed. In humans, it is important to measure activities of specific enzymes in vivo. For this purpose, two approaches are currently available. Metabolism and/or elimination of enzyme-specific drugs can be employed. In cases in which genetic background determines the presence or absence of a specific enzyme, phenotyping and genotyping tests can be devised, e.g., for CYP2D6 (debrisoquine hydroxylation) polymorphism.

T1  - Acetylation as an indicator of risk.
AN  - 21258997; 11704944
AB  - Aromatic amine acetylation has been recognized for many years as an important metabolic polymorphism in humans because of its relationship to disease. This system serves as a model in risk assessment because of its role in drug and carcinogen activation and detoxification and because of the case with which it is measured. However, possible interactions of NAT1-NAT2 phenotypes or genotypes illustrate the complexity of xenobiotic metabolism pathways. Moreover, the use of such information for risk assessment is further complicated by the association of the rapid phenotype with increased risk in colon cancer and the slow phenotype with increased risk in urinary bladder cancer. Before this biomarker can be effectively utilized as a significant predictor of individual risk, it will be necessary to identify specific sources of aromatic amine exposure and to characterize further the substrate specificity of NAT1 and NAT2 in relation to the multiplicity of enzyme variants occurring in human populations.

T1  - Alterations in the K-ras and p53 genes in rat lung tumors.
AN  - 21253535; 11701802
AB  - Activation of the K-ras protooncogene and inactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are events common to many types of human cancers. Molecular epidemiology studies have associated mutational profiles in these genes with specific exposures. The purpose of this paper is to review investigations that have examined the role of the K-ras and p53 genes in lung tumors induced in the F344 rat by mutagenic and nonmutagenic exposures. Mutation profiles within the K-ras and p53 genes, if present in rat lung tumors, would help to define some of the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer induction by various environmental agents. Pulmonary adenocarcinomas or squamous cell carcinomas were induced by tetranitromethane (TNM), 4-methylnitrosamino-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), beryllium metal, plutonium-239, X-ray, diesel exhaust, or carbon black. These agents were chosen because the tumors they produced could arise via different types of DNA damage. Mutation of the K-ras gene was determined by approaches that included DNA transfection, direct sequencing, mismatch hybridization, and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The frequency for mutation of the K-ras gene was exposure dependent. Only two agents, TNM and plutonium, led to mutation frequencies of > 10%. In both cases, the transition mutations formed could have been derived from deamination of cytosine. The identification of non-ras transforming genes in rat lung tumors induced by mutagenic and nonmutagenic exposures such as NNK and beryllium would help define some of the mechanisms underlying cancer induction by different types of DNA damage. Alteration in the p53 gene was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis for p53 protein and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of exons 4 to 9. None of the 93 adenocarcinomas examined was immunoreactive toward the anti-p53 antibody CM1. In contrast, 14 to 71 squamous cell carcinomas exhibited nuclear p53 immunoreactivity with no correlation to type of exposure. However, SSCP analysis only detected mutations in 2 of 14 squamous cell tumors that were immunoreactive, suggesting that protein stabilization did not stem from mutations within the p53 gene. Thus, the p53 gene does not appear to be involved in the genesis of most rat lung tumors. Images Figure 1. Figure 2.

T1  - Mini- and microsatellites.
AN  - 21251817; 11701804
AB  - While the faithful transmission of genetic information requires a fidelity and stability of DNA that is involved in translation into proteins, it has become evident that a large part of noncoding DNA is organized in repeated sequences, which often exhibit a pronounced instability and dynamics. This applies both to longer repeated sequences, minisatellites (about 10-100 base pairs), and microsatellites (mostly 2-4 base pairs). Although these satellite DNAs are abundantly distributed in all kinds of organisms, no clear function has been discerned for them. However, extension of trinucleotide microsatellite sequences has been associated with several severe human disorders, such as Fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease. Rare alleles of a minisatellite sequence have been reported to be associated with the ras oncogene leading to an increased risk for several human cancers. A dynamic behavior of repeated DNA sequences also applies to telomeres, constituting the ends of the chromosomes. Repeated DNA sequences protect the chromosome ends from losing coding sequences at cell divisions. The telomeres are maintained by the enzyme telomerase. Somatic cells, however, lose telomerase function and gradually die. Cancer cells have activated telomerase and therefore they acquire immortality.

T1  - Chemoprevention of ultraviolet radiation-induced skin cancer.
AN  - 21251314; 11703686
AB  - The use of chemical and physical sunscreening agents has increased dramatically during the last two to three decades as an effective means of preventing sunbum. The use of high sunprotection factor sunscreens has also been widely promoted for the prevention of skin cancer, including melanoma. Whereas sunscreens are undoubtedly effective in preventing sunbum, their efficacy in preventing skin cancer, especially melanoma, is currently under considerable debate. Sunscreens have been shown to prevent the induction of DNA damage that presumably results from the direct effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on DNA. DNA damage has been identified as an initiator of skin cancer formation. However, both laboratory and epidemiological studies indicate that sunscreens may not block the initiation or promotion of melanoma formation. These studies suggest that the action spectrum for erythema induction is different than the action spectrum for the induction of melanoma. Indeed, recent reports on the wavelength dependency for the induction of melanoma in a fish model indicate that the efficacy of ultraviolet A wavelengths (320-400 nm) to induce melanoma is orders of magnitude higher than would be predicted from the induction of erythema in man or nonmelanoma skin tumors in mice. Other strategies for the chemoprevention of skin cancer have also been reported. Low levels and degree of unsaturation of dietary fats protect against UVR-induced skin cancer in mice humens. Compounds with antioxidant activity, including green tea extracts (polyphenols), have been reported to inhibit UVR-induced skin carcinogenesis.

T1  - Project Aquarius 11. Effects of fitness, fatness, body size, and age on the energy expenditure, strain, and productivity of men suppressing wildland fires
AN  - 17106111; 4420229
AB  - Multiple-regression analyses were done to evaluate the effects of aerobic fitness (maximum oxygen uptake per kg fat-free mass), fatness (body fat content, %), body size (as reflected in fat-free mass), and age on the strain (i.e. the physiological and subjective responses) and fireline productivity of four crews of firefighters (N=21) while (1) they undertook 'line rakes', in which they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by hand-tool crews, and also built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in Australian eucalypt forests; and (2) they underwent the Shvartz heat-tolerance test, which requires 15 minutes of step-climbing at a fixed pace in a room temperature of 23 degree C. The results showed that the expected effects of fitness and fatness, established through laboratory studies and confirmed in the Shvartz test, were attenuated or absent during the line rakes, apparently because of serf pacing and the absence of rapid climbing. In the line rakes fitter men did not work harder than the less fit but were more productive and efficient and had somewhat lower heart rates; fatter men tended to be more productive than leaner men but did not experience greater strain; bigger men (as measured by fat-free mass) were more productive than smaller men; age had no effect on strain or productivity; and associations observed during work in both the line rakes and the Shvartz test were already present before the work commenced, apparently because of emotional arousal.

T1  - Project Aquarius 10. Effects of work, weather, and fire on the energy expenditure, strain, and productivity of men suppressing wildland fires
AN  - 17104515; 4420228
AB  - Four crews of male firefighters were studied while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by handtool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in Australian encalypt forests. Multiple-regression analyses of their responses showed that they maintained their deep body temperature and heart rate at constant and sustainable levels over a wide range of work duration and intensity, and of heat from weather and fire that frequently exceeded the limits recommended in current heat-stress guidelines. Energy expenditure declined slightly with warmer weather and fire although not with rake duration. Productivity was unchanged by warmer weather but declined slightly with rake duration and with fire. The findings confirm the effectiveness of the firefighters' work practices that allowed them to set their own pace, and of their light, well ventilated clothing that permitted unrestricted evaporation of sweat.

T1  - Outer membrane protein A gene sequencing demonstrates the polyphyletic nature of koala Chlamydia pecorum isolates
AN  - 16557036; 4371704
AB  - Chlamydia are considered to be the most important pathogen of koalas in which they cause ocular and urogenital infections. As recently as 1996 it was realised that koala chlamydial infections do not belong to the species Chlamydia psittaci but instead should be reassigned to the species C. pecorum and C. pneumoniae. We have used DNA sequence analysis of part of the chlamydial major outer membrane protein gene, ompA VD4, to compare 15 koala C. pecorum isolates. Unexpectedly, we found that the koala isolates did not cluster as a single branch in the C. pecorum tree, but instead were represented by five genetically very distinct genotypes. Two of the genotypes (which contained five koala isolates each) were koala-specific whereas one genotype contained a single koala isolate plus three sheep and two cattle isolates. For all five koala genotypes, their nearest relatives were not other koala genotypes, but sheep, cattle or pig isolates. It may be inferred from our data that C. pecorum strains infecting koalas do not form a monophyletic group with respect to other C. pecorum strains, and therefore the model which states that there was a single acquisition of a C. pecorum infection by a koala and that all C. pecorum strains now infecting koalas are descended from that founding strain is unlikely to be correct. The most plausible model is that koalas have obtained C. pecorum infections as a result of a series of cross-species transmission events, possibly from pigs and/or ruminants.

T1  - Values and the state in natural resource management: The Mt. Wellington Skyway dispute, Hobart, Tasmania
AN  - 16503450; 4410755
AB  - This article presents a study of land-use politics at the local level in Hobart, capital of the small island state of Tasmania. It is concerned with the politics of local place in the Mt. Wellington Skyway cable car dispute and the tactics employed by the state government, in contravention of sustainability principles, to prioritise development over public concern for a local environment. The dispute is reviewed in terms of ideological contention, planning and decision making, and the role of the state in facilitating development. It is found to be characteristically Tasmanian in terms of state legislative support for the project and attitudes in the local community and local government polarised firmly against it. The management of the Mt. Wellington Range itself is found to have been hindered by a history of non-decision making and neglect of intrinsic natural values, and the management of the Skyway approval process to have been expediently driven by utilitarian concerns. The article closely scrutinises the type of local environmental issue that Rainbow (1993) suggests has catalysed green politics at the state level in Tasmania. But more generally, it also presents a classic study of the ideological contention that continues to inspire natural resource conflict wherever communities face the degradation of local places defined by significant natural areas.

T1  - Allozyme variation in the marine fanworm Sabella spallanzanii: Comparison of native European and introduced Australian populations
AN  - 16494930; 4401275
AB  - Three Australian (Cockburn Sound, Western Australia; Adelaide, South Australia; Port Phillip Bay, Victoria) and four European (Roscoff, Atlantic; Alicante, Carteau, and Marseille, all from the Mediterranean Sea) populations of Sabella spallanzanii were examined for variation at 23 allozyme loci. Levels of genetic variation were high, with average heterozygosities per locus ranging from 0.20 to 0.21 for the Australian collections, and from 0.23 to 0.27 for the European collections. The 3 Australian collections were genetically very closely related to one another, with no statistically significant differences at any of the 15 variable loci. This suggests either an introduction to one port, with a subsequent spread to other areas, or separate introductions with subsequent extensive gene flow. The 4 European collections showed limited, but significant, differentiation among themselves at 10 of 18 variable loci. Much of the heterogeneity reflected differences between the Roscoff (Atlantic) collection and the 3 Mediterranean collections. The Roscoff collection was less variable, in terms of both heterozygosity and mean numbers of alleles, than the Mediterranean collections. The Australian collections were more closely related to the Mediterranean collections (mean Nei distance = 0.040) than to the Roscoff collection (mean Nei distance = 0.084). If a Mediterranean origin is assumed, then the introduction to Australia was accompanied by the loss of about 18% of the original variation. Finally, the high genetic similarity of the Australian to the European collections of S. spallanzanii, and the very clear genetic separation of S. pavonina (mean Nei distance = 0.996), reaffirms that the Australian collections are truly S. spallanzanii and not an undescribed native species.

T1  - Xerophytic implications of increased sclerophylly: Interactions with water and light in Hakea psilorrhyncha seedlings
AN  - 16313830; 4254237
AB  - Hakea psilorrhyncha R. M. Barker seedlings were subjected to a two-way interaction experiment with two levels of water availability and two levels of light. Physiological drought was imposed by adding 6000 MW polyethylene glycol (PEG), at an osmotic potential of -0 times 56 MPa, in a continuous-flow drip irrigation system. Unstressed plants (-PEG) were watered with distilled water (osmotic potential of -0 times 01 MPa). Seedlings were grown under natural light (120-500 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1) sunlight at midday +L) or shaded (<150 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1) sunlight at midday; -L. Plant morphology tissue water relations and carbon isotope composition ( delta super(13)C) were measured after 12 wk growth. The smallest leaves had the highest mass per unit area (LMA, an index of sclerophylly) and were present in the + PEG + L treatment, whereas the largest, thickest leaves had the lowest density and were produced in the -PEG + L treatment. Plants in shade were smaller and less sclerophyllous. There was a linear decrease in osmotic potential at full turgor and turgor loss point, and an increase in elastic modulus and delta super(13)C, as level of sclerophylly increased, with -PEG-L leaves at one extreme and +PEG +L at the other. We conclude that high levels of sclerophylly induced by low water availability and high light intensity are associated with substantial drought tolerance in H. psilorrhyncha.

T1  - Mesoscale distribution and abundance of four pelagic copepod species in Prydz Bay
AN  - 16312792; 4256455
AB  - Knowledge of copepod abundance and distribution has been limited, particularly in the Indian Ocean sector, as the use of coarse sampling gear has meant that copepods were frequently lost from the catch. This study analyses samples obtained from Prydz Bay using a fine mesh (300 mu m) Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT1) net during summer 1992-93. Results demonstrate that a net of mesh 4.5 mm used in previous studies underestimates total copepod abundance by a factor of 38. The abundance of the smaller species has been underestimated the most. New estimates of copepod biomass indicate that copepods represent approximately 27% of krill biomass. Copepod and krill distributions are shown to be discrete at 82.4% dissimilarity. Mean temperature accounted for 33.6% of the variation in copepod distribution while two of the species showed a slight correlation with chlorophyll a pigment data. These results highlight the numerical importance of copepods and the species' distributions in the East Antarctic marine ecosystem.

T1  - Soil nutrient dynamics and community boundaries in the fynbos vegetation of South Africa
AN  - 16292210; 4300456
AB  - The relationship between changes in soil nutrient characteristics and fynbos community boundaries was investigated near Cape Agulhas, South Africa. Soil characteristics relating to total nutrient content (pH, total N and total P, organic carbon, and various cations) were assessed at sites along three transects crossing the boundaries between five plant communities. Dynamics of available N and P in soils of three communities were studied in the field over one year, using ion-exchange resins. There was a wide range in the degree of change in soil nutrient content across different community boundaries. The characteristics that varied most were pH, total N, Ca and total P. Differences in available nutrients among soils indicated that the communities in this landscape were associated with a mosaic of N and P availability. It is proposed that spatial variation in soil nutrient availability rather than total soil nutrient contents may be important in explaining landscape-level species distributions and community composition in nutrient-poor mediterranean-climate ecosystems.

T1  - Importance of Hydrilla verticillata (Hydrocharitaceae) as habitat for immature mosquitoes at the Ross River Reservoir, Australia
AN  - 16228888; 4222028
AB  - From November 1990 to November 1992, immature mosquitoes were sampled from the shoreline and from emergent beds of the submerged aquatic plant Hydrilla verticillata at the Ross River reservoir, northern Australia. Aerial mapping of Hydrilla beds was done in conjunction with sampling to estimate total immature mosquito numbers. Larvae of 7 species were found. Culex annulirostris, Anopheles annulipes s.l., and Anopheles amictus comprised 80.4% of the total. Peak larval densities occurred in the late wet season period in both habitat types (March to May) but Hydrilla generally supported higher densities, particularly of An. annulipes s.l. (43.7% of the total sample), than the shoreline habitats. Anopheles annulipes replaced Cx. annulirostris as the predominant taxon when 1990-92 data were compared with data for 1985-86. The Hydrilla beds supported on the order of 5.6 x 10 super(9) immatures during the period of peak density. This suggests that where human exposure is of concern, mosquito control in habitats such as Hydrilla is warranted.

T1  - The population dynamics of annual plants and soil-borne fungal pathogens
AN  - 16106133; 4204841
AB  - Soil-borne fungi are a major group of economically important plant pathogens, yet they have rarely been studied in the context of host-pathogen population biology. We develop general models of annual hosts and soil-borne fungal pathogens to explore the conditions for host-pathogen coexistence in both agricultural and natural plant populations. We use empirical data from the literature to parameterize and simulate dynamics with these models. Initially we consider a simple system in which host density is assumed to be constant, as would be appropriate for agricultural systems. Model analysis shows that initial increase of the pathogen population requires that host (crop) density be above a threshold; this threshold decreases with increases in the pathogen's over-winter survival rate and ability to grow saprophytically. A more complex model, in which both host and pathogen populations can vary, is needed for natural populations. Results from this model show that stable coexistence is possible even when the pathogen has a positive intrinsic growth rate (and therefore it is also possible for the pathogen to persist in the complete absence of the host). Model parameter estimates were obtained from the empirical literature for two common and important soil pathogens: Phytophthora spp. and Fusarium oxysporum; these pathogens differ in several life-history features. Computer simulation showed that for Fusarium, there were substantial ranges for which coexistence or loss of the pathogen were predicted, while for Phytophthora most parameter estimates resulted in complete extinction when linear disease transmission was assumed; under the assumption of exponential disease transmission, predicted dynamics were most likely to lead to host persistence. For both pathogens, within biologically realistic regions of parameter space, small changes in parameter values could lead to qualitatively different outcomes, including deterministic chaos, suggesting that long-term dynamics may be difficult to predict.

T1  - Purification and characterization of hepatic glutathione transferases from an insectivorous marsupial, the brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii)
AN  - 16100571; 4205926
AB  - Five unique glutathione transferase isoenzymes were purified from the hepatic cytosol of an insectivorous marsupial, the brown antechinus. The purified GSTs were characterized by structural and catalytic properties including apparent molecular weight and isoelectric point, specificity towards model substrates, kinetic parameters, sensitivity to inhibitors and cross-reactivity with antisera raised against human GSTs. An alpha class GST, Antechinus GST 1-1, predominated in the hepatic cytosol, representing 71% of the total GST purified. The substrate specificity of Antechinus GST 1-1 was similar to that of other alpha class GSTs, particularly with respect to its high activity with cumene hydroperoxide. The mu class was represented by three GST isoenzymes, Antechinus GST 3-3, GST 3-4 and GST 4-4. These isoenzymes represented 8, 2 and 10% of the total GST purified respectively. A single GST, Antechinus GST 22, belonged to the pi class of GSTs and represented 12% of the total GST purified. The hepatic GST isoenzyme ratio (by class) observed in the brown antechinus was more similar to that observed in the human than in rat. A previous study investigating a herbivorous marsupial, the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) also identified a predominant hepatic GST belonging to the alpha class and displaying peroxidase activity. The evolutionary conservation of a similar predominant GST isoenzyme in these marsupials suggests that they play an important role in the detoxication metabolism of these unique mammals.

T1  - Poisson vs normal-errors regression in Mac Nally (1996)
AN  - 16079160; 4110053
AB  - Mac Nally (1996), in describing the application of 'hierarchical partitioning' in regression modelling of species richness of breeding passerine birds with response variable the species count, rejects the use of Poisson regression in favour of normal-errors regression on an incorrect basis. Mac Nally uses a function of the residual sum of squares, the root-mean square prediction error (RMSPE), calculated from predictions from each regression and rejects the Poisson regression because its RMSPE was 20% larger. This note points out that the RMSPE will always be larger for the Poisson regression, given the same link function and linear predictor is used, even if the response is truly Poisson. References to appropriate methods of determining the most suitable response distribution and link function in the context of generalized linear models are given.

T1  - Down-regulation of an established immune response via chemical carcinogen or UVB-altered skin
AN  - 16073357; 4111858
AB  - The ability to produce antigen-specific down-regulation of an established immune response was investigated in 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB)-immune mice by delivery of antigen through chemical carcinogen- or ultraviolet B (UVB)-treated skin. When TNCB-immune mice were treated on the dorsal trunk skin with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) followed by TNCB there was an antigen-specific reduction in both contact sensitivity and antibody production. Further, immune mice that received spleen cells from naive syngeneic donors treated with DMBA followed by TNCB also exhibited a reduction in both contact sensitivity and antibody production. In contrast, mice treated with UVB irradiation followed by TNCB had a reduction in contact sensitivity but not antibody production. These results provide evidence that an ongoing immune response can be manipulated by immunization through a modified skin immune system. This may provide a beneficial approach for the treatment of autoimmune disease.

T1  - Project Aquarius 7. Physiological and subjective responses of men suppressing wildland fires
AN  - 16064336; 4106124
AB  - The responses of four crews of 7-8 men were measured while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by hand-tool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in dry eucalypt forests of SW and SE Australia. Average values were sweat rate 1,144 g h super(-1), heart rate (HR) 152 beats min super(-1), and rectal temperature (Tre) 38.2 degree C. Changes in the average temperatures of clothed and unclothed skin were negligible, indicating efficient evaporation of sweat. Firefighters considered the work 'somewhat hard', and felt 'just too warm' and 'wet' with sweat. By contrast, the responses of the scientific observers, doing less strenuous work in the same environment, were minimal: sweat rate 292 g h super(-1), HR 80 beats min super(-1), and Tre 37.6 degree C. Firefighters' responses were mainly due to exertion rather than fire, confirming an identical finding from measurements of their energy expenditure and thermal environment. Differences between attacks with and without fire were small in both groups (HR 8-9 beats min super(-1), Tre 0.1-0.2 degree C) except for sweat rate (firefighters 401 g h super(-1), observers 181 g h super(-1)), and were usually present before the attacks began. All responses were highly consistent over the four crews, three summers, and two regions. The above findings show that the firefighters worked within their capacity and paced themselves to sustain their own preferred equilibrium levels of strain. They also demonstrate the effectiveness of the firefighters' clothing and work practices.

T1  - Project Aquarius 2. Limitations of maximum oxygen uptake for predicting the strains of building fireline with a rakehoe
AN  - 16061891; 4106122
AB  - In three-stage graded work tests we compared men's responses to laboratory step tests with their responses to building fireline with a rakehoe (McLeod tool) in dry eucalypt forest. The subjects were experienced firefighters and the scientific observers (novices at raking fireline) who carried out the investigation. At the average energy expenditure of raking fireline in bushfire suppression (655 W, oxygen uptake 1.9 l min super(-1)) the firefighters' heart rate (HR), pulmonary ventilation (V super(.) sub(E)), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were higher in raking than in stepping by 18 beats min super(-1), 13 l min sub(-1) and 0.5 units RPE respectively. At higher work rates the average difference in the response to raking and stepping decreased for HR (the opposite response to that found in laboratory studies of arm work), increased for V super(.) sub(E), and did not change for RPE. Contrary to the usual finding for arm work, the firefighters' average maximal oxygen uptake (V super(.)O sub(2max)) was the same for raking and stepping, although the observers' raking V super(.)O sub(2max) was 10% (P<0.01) less than their stepping V super(.)O sub(2max). These findings imply that firefighters rake mainly with their arms and upper body at normal work rates, but recruit additional trunk and leg muscles at higher work rates to achieve a 'whole-body' V super(.)O sub(2max) - which is greater than could be achieved with the arm work of normal raking and would thus lead to underestimates of strain and fatigue. Seventeen (50%) of the firefighters, but only one (8%) of the observers, had greater V super(.)O sub(2max) for raking than for stepping, suggesting that regular practice with hand tools had enhanced the firefighters' raking performance through local muscle training and improved technique.

T1  - Project Aquarius 13. The thermal burden of high insulation and encapsulation in wildland firefighters' clothing
AN  - 16061839; 4106121
AB  - Light, heavy, and encapsulating clothing were compared in a climatic chamber during 60 minutes of moderate exercise (energy expenditure 382-464 W) in warm, dry conditions with no added radiant heat (air and mean radiant temperature 30 degree C, relative humidity 33%, air velocity 0.5 m s super(-1)). The results showed that high insulation and reduced ventilation restricted the evaporation of sweat and thus hindered the dissipation of metabolic heat. These adverse effects were apparent in (1) a reduced cooling efficiency of sweat and hence a higher sweat rate; (2) increased heat storage, cardiovascular strain, discomfort, and fatigue; and (3) a failure to attain thermal equilibrium even after 60 minutes of work. Comparison with the effects of fire, previously reported, on lightly dressed firefighters showed that the above penalties would outweigh any benefit that extra insulation or encapsulation could confer during wildland fire suppression with hand tools.

T1  - Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated barley transformation
AN  - 16019380; 4093401
AB  - Genetically transformed barley was produced by cocultivating immature embryo explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying a binary vector coding for chimaeric bacterial genes, bar and gus, and selecting for bialaphos-resistant cultures from which plants were regenerated. Integration of both genes was confirmed by gel blot hybridization analysis of DNA from the transformed plants and their progenies. From 1282 embryos, plants were recovered for 54 independently transformed lines, giving a transformation efficiency of 4.2%. Transgene numbers in the different lines ranged from single copy insertion to at least ten copies. Sixteen out of 18 plants grown to maturity were fully fertile. Both marker genes, bar and gus, were expressed and co-segregated in the T sub(1) progeny plants. In the majority of cases, the genes showed Mendelian segregation predicted for transgene insertion at a single locus. In one family with multiple transgene insertions, molecular analysis of T sub(1) and T sub(2) plants suggested that the T-DNA had inserted at two unlinked loci.

T1  - Modelling the growth rate of Escherichia coli as a function of pH and lactic acid concentration
AN  - 16017835; 4086900
AB  - The growth rate responses of Escherichia coli M23 (a nonpathogenic strain) to suboptimal pH and lactic acid concentration were determined. Growth rates were measured turbidimetrically at 20 degree C in the range of pH 2.71 to 8.45. The total concentration of lactic acid was fixed at specific values, and the pH was varied by the addition of a strong acid (hydrochloric) or base (sodium hydroxide) to enable the determination of undissociated and dissociated lactic acid concentrations under each condition. In the absence of lactic acid, E. coli grew at pH 4.0 but not at pH 3.7 and was unable to grow in the presence of greater than or equal to 8.32 mM undissociated lactic acid. Growth rate was linearly related to hydrogen ion concentration in the absence of lactic acid. In the range 0 to 100 mM lactic acid, growth rate was also linearly related to undissociated lactic acid concentration. A mathematical model to describe these observations was developed based on a Belehradek-like model for the effects of water activity and temperature. This model was expanded to describe the effects of pH and lactic acid by the inclusion of novel terms for the inhibition due to the presence of hydrogen ions, undissociated lactic acid, and dissociated lactic acid species. Preliminary data obtained for 200 and 500 mM total lactic acid concentrations show that the response to very high lactic acid concentrations was less well described by the model. However, for 0 to 100 mM lactic acid, the model described well the qualitative and quantitative features of the response.

T1  - Home range size, habitat utilisation and movement patterns of suburban and farm cats Felis catus
AN  - 16014436; 4081159
AB  - The movements of 10 house cats (4 desexed females, 5 desexed males and 1 intact male) living on the edge of a suburb adjoining grassland and forest/woodland habitat, and a neighbouring colony of seven farm cats, were examined using radio-telemetry over nine months. Nocturnal home range areas of the suburban cats varied between 0.02 and 27.93 ha (mean 7.89 ha), and were larger than diurnal home range areas (range 0.02 to 17.19 ha - mean 2.73 ha). Nocturnal home range areas of cats from the farm cat colony varied between 1.38 and 4.46 ha (mean 2.54 ha), and were also larger than diurnal home range areas (range 0.77 to 3.70 ha - mean 1.70 ha). Home ranges of cats in the farm cat colony overlapped extensively, as did those of cats living at the same suburban residence. There was no overlap of home ranges of female cats from different residences, and little overlap between males and females from different residences. Four of the suburban house cats moved between 390 m and 900 m into habitat adjoining the suburb. Polygons describing the home ranges of these animals were strongly spatially biased away from the suburban environment, though the cats spent the majority of their time within the bounds of the suburb. Movements further than 100-200 m beyond the suburb edge were always made at night. There is evidence that home range sizes and spatial movement patterns of house cats are largely determined by: a) the density and spatial distribution of cats utilising separate food resources, b) the personality and social dominance of individual cats, c) the location of favoured hunting and resting/sunning sites, and, d) barriers such as busy roads.

T1  - GIS supports coastal risk assessment
AN  - 16003576; 4077842
AB  - Many researchers have applied GIS to water-related issues for planning, mapping and modeling. Applying GIS to hazard assessment and risk mapping along coastal areas, particularly barrier islands, benefits communities by providing a basis for zoning, land-use planning and resource allocation for post-storm property reconstruction and pre-storm damage mitigation plans. GIS is useful in mapping and assessing storm damage as well as evaluating the efficacy of prior attempts to protect and preserve coastal resources so successful attempts may be continued and unsuccessful attempts abandoned.

T1  - In vitro interference with hepatocellular uptake of bile acids by xylene
AN  - 15999499; 4080044
AB  - Occupational exposure to a mixture of two widely used aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, xylene and toluene, has been associated with a significant rise in the concentrations of serum bile acids (SBA). We have recently shown that toluene interferes with the transport of bile acids by hepatocytes and this could explain elevated SBA after occupational exposure or following in vivo administration of this compound to experimental animals. However, it is not known if xylene, like its monomethylated homologue, toluene, could interfere with the processes of bile acid transport by hepatocytes. Therefore, the present studies were undertaken to examine this possibility. Direct addition of a non-cytotoxic dose (2.5 mu l/2.8 x 10 super(6) cells) of xylene (in vapour phase) to hepatocytes isolated from untreated rats significantly inhibited the initial rates (determined from slope of the lines in the linear range (20-80 s)) of uptake (V sub(0)) of 10 mu M cholic acid (CA) and-taurocholic acid (TC) by 37 and 48%, respectively (P < 0.05). Similarly, accumulation of these substrates by hepatocytes over an extended incubation time up to 30 min was significantly inhibited to the same extent by xylene exposure. This inhibitory effect was found to be reversible when sufficient time was allowed for the cells to recover. In contrast, the initial rates (V sub(0)) of efflux (determined from slope of the lines in the linear range (1-5 min)) of these bile acids (25 mu M) and their continuous efflux (up to 30 min) from preloaded cells incubated with a similar dose of xylene were not (except for the 1 min time point) significantly different from those of controls. In conclusion, xylene interferes with the transport of bile acids by hepatocytes in a manner largely similar to that of its monomethylated homologue, toluene. These findings extend our previous observations on aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and provide mechanistic data at a cellular level to support a causal role for xylene (as well as toluene) in raised SBA levels of exposed individuals.

AN  - 15994416; 4074154
AB  - In a previous study using pure bacterial cultures in a PCR assay, a primer pair corresponding to a unique chromosomal region of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal generated an amplicon from only V. cholerae O139 Bengal. PCR with the same primer pair was used to screen 180 diarrheal stool specimens. All the 67 V. cholerae O139 culture-positive stool specimens were positive by PCR, and the remaining specimens, which contained either other recognized enteric pathogens or no pathogens, were all negative by PCR.

T1  - The Role of Particulate Size and Chemistry in the Association Between Summertime Ambient Air Pollution and Hospitalization for Cardiorespiratory Diseases
AN  - 14456020; 10538507
AB  - Summer levels of particulates; aerosols, including acidity and sulfates; and gaseous pollutants including ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide were monitored in Toronto for three years. The results were compared to hospital admissions for cardiac or respiratory disorders. A positive correlation between haze, and indicator of particulates, and admissions for both types of disorders was found. When adjustments were made for the presence of the gaseous pollutants, the association between particle parameters was lost, except for that of the coefficient of haze.

T1  - The Relationship Between Selected Causes of Postneonatal Infant Mortality and Particulate Air Pollution in the United States
AN  - 14455976; 10538506
AB  - Postneonatal mortality in relation to particulate air pollution was investigated using a cohort of 4 million infants born between 1989 and 1991. Death records were linked to particulate matter measurements of 10m (PM sub(10)) or below as measured by the EPA Aerometric Database. Infants with low, medium, or high exposure to PM sub(10) had mortality rates of 3.1, 3.5, and 3.7 per 1000 births, respectively. The odds ratio for the high exposure group compared to the low exposure group was 1.10. An association between death from respiratory causes and high PM sub(10) exposure was found for normal birth weight infants, but the association was not significant for those with low birth weights.

AB  - Samples of drifting snow were collected at Asuka, East Antarctica, during the spring of 1991 and analyzed for the presence of 36 trace metals. Most elements and sulfate from sources other than sea salt reached a maximum in late September. Marine origins were probable for sodium magnesium, calcium, potassium, and strontium. Crustal origins were probable for aluminum, iron, manganese, rubidium, chromium, nickel, gallium, vanadium, and rare earth elements. The origin of lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, and selenium could have been from eruption of two volcanoes.

T1  - Methylsulfonyl Metabolites of PCBs and DDE in Human Tissues
AN  - 14453946; 10538508
AB  - At autopsy, adipose and liver tissue was obtained from seven people for determinations of the methylsulfonyl analogs of PCBs and DDE. Samples contained 20 methylsulfonyl analogs of 20 PCB congeners. Two methylsulfonyl analogs of DDE were found. Liver contained more 3-methylsulfonyl chlorinated biphenyls than 4-methylsulfonyl chlorinated biphenyls. The opposite was true of adipose tissue. The ratio of methylsulfonyl chlorinated biphenyls to total chlorinated biphenyls in liver and adipose tissue was one to 28 and was one to 250, respectively. For all but one subject, the amount of 3-methylsulfonyl DDE was higher in both types of tissue. The ratio of methylsulfonyl DDE to total DDE in liver and adipose tissue was one to 61 and one to 455, respectively.

T1  - Investigation of fungi associated with stem cankers of eucalypts in Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 1020858135; 16786312
AB  - A survey of stem fungi and associated canker diseases in eucalypts in natural forest and plantations was conducted in Tasmania. A total of 209 samples representing 29 fungal species was obtained. Thirteen of the fungal species detailed in this survey have not been described or previously reported in Australia. The three species most frequently encountered were Endothia gyrosa, Cytospora eucalypticola and Valsa sp., constituting 23.9%, 20.6% and 12.9%, respectively, of the 209 collections. They were ubiquitous, with each species found on more than ten eucalypt species. Fungal species with low incidence but associated with severe cankers were Harknessia cf. eucalypti, Phoma sp., Seiridium eucalypti and Zythiostroma sp.

T1  - Identification of mango scab caused by Elsinoee mangiferae in Australia
AN  - 1020840275; 16786320
AB  - Elsinoee mangiferae, the cause of mango scab, was identified for the first time in Australia in January 1997 as a result of intense investigation into severe scamng and distortion of mangoes in the Darwin rural area of the Northern Territory. Spotting and scarring of mango fruit had been observed in the Northern Territory since about 1990 and was commonly believed by growers to be due to a form of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62517824; ED411757
AB  - This seventh hearing in a series related to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act focused on the management structure of the Office of Postsecondary Education and the financial aid delivery system. In the opening statement, Chairman James M. Jeffords reported that the current system is outdated and inefficient and indicated that the committee was considering proposals for change that ranged from a performance-based system to privatizing student aid delivery. Testimony was given by David A. Longanecker and Betsy Hicks of the Department of Education who noted progress made in managing student financial aid programs and addressed changes still to come. Other witnesses included Brian Fitzgerald of the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance (Washington, D.C.); Cornelia M. Blanchette of the U.S. General Accounting Office; Judith Flink, University of Illinois; Barmak Nassirian, American Association of State Colleges and Universities (Washington, D.C.); and Barbara Tornow, Boston University (Massachusetts) who all testified on the inadequacy of the present financial aid delivery system and its management structure.

T1  - Indian Employment, Training, and Related Services Demonstration Act. Hearing on Public Law 102-477, Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 before the Committee on Indian Affairs. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62510712; ED417057
AB  - The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs held a hearing to assess the success of Public Law 102-477, the Indian Employment, Training, and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992. Specifically, the hearing looked at how well the Act is working in terms of enhancing program efficiency, reducing unemployment in Native communities, and improving availability of employment and other services to Native people. The intent of Congress in enacting the Act was to allow tribal authorities to consolidate federal formula-funded programs into a single program, and to achieve efficiencies in that consolidation. The Act allows consolidation of 11 programs of the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and will be extended to include welfare reform in July 1997. At the time of the hearing, participants included 18 grantees representing 177 federally recognized tribes. Representatives of the BIA testified about the Act's success in reducing administrative burdens on the tribes, the BIA's reluctance to support inclusion of Johnson O'Malley funds in the program, and cash flow problems. Representatives of tribes and intertribal organizations described their programs and discussed program successes in terms of increased tribal involvement, job placements, and intertribal cooperation and decreased costs and paperwork; implications for tribal implementation of welfare reform; and repeated bureaucratic delays in dealing with the BIA.

T1  - Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act and the Costs of Higher Education. Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session on Examining the Relationship Between Cost and Access to Postsecondary Education (Bangor, ME, May 5, 1997).
AN  - 62498555; ED410910
AB  - This hearing on the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, sought public comment in Maine on the cost of higher education and on Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Specifically, these hearings were intended to address the continuing low level of participation in higher education by Maine high school graduates, which was ascribed mainly to the fact that federal aid programs cover a smaller percentage of cost than they did 15 years ago. The hearing, chaired by Senator Susan M. Collins of Maine, heard statements from: Senator James M. Jeffords of Vermont; Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, who planned to introduce a "Go to College" tax incentive act; Melissa Chasse, a student who gave examples of the various federal student aid programs that had enabled her to attend college James Peacock, certified school counselor; Mid-Maine Technical Center; Andrea Cross, director of financial aid, St. Joseph's College; institutional administrators and counselors from Maine colleges, who all noted repayment burdens faced by students; and education policymakers for the state of Maine, who noted the importance of federal student aid programs to students in the state. Walter Moulton, director of student aid at Bowdoin College, presented a prepared statement suggesting three changes to the bill which would: (1) provide an alternative to the Perkins Loan Program; (2) consolidate the Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) program; and (3) allow use of retirement assets to help meet educational expenses.

T1  - The pediatric cardiology pharmacopoeia.
AN  - 78990101; 9142703
AB  - Keeping up with a rapidly growing list of medications has always been a breathtaking and, at times, impossible task to master. Contrary to common belief, the enormity of keeping abreast with the more recently developed medications is not a modern phenomenon resulting from the great technological advances of the past few years, but an ongoing struggle spanning the latter half of this century. It appears that there are more drugs to use than to know how, when, or what to do with them. This sentiment was expressed in 1973 by the editors of Martindale's The Extra Pharmacopoeia, twenty-sixth edition [3]: "The unprecedented rate at which our knowledge of medicine and pharmacy is advancing makes it a formidable challenge to provide within a single volume an up-to-date source of basic information on the properties and uses of the many drugs in current use." In this article, a review of the medications currently used in the management of children with heart diseases is presented. The medications have been collected in groups based upon their pharmacological actions: Antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, diuretics, sedatives and miscellaneous agents. Within each group the agents are listed alphabetically using chemical names. We attempted to include as many drugs as thought to be of relevance to the team of health practitioners involved in the care of children with cardiac problems. Various routes of administration are presented, some of which have been infrequently described in the pediatric literature, such as continuous infusion of diuretic agents [22]. The dosing ranges were adopted from many sources [1, 5, 8, 9, 17-19, 22, 23, 26], and we sought to include the widest ranges of dosages published. All dosages listed in Table 1 are quantitated per dose and not per day. This approach was adopted as it reduces calculations and the potential for medication errors.

T1  - Schools and Staffing Survey Student Records Questionnaire: School Year 1993-94, with Special Emphasis on American Indian and Alaska Native Students. E.D. Tabs.
AN  - 62626724; ED407209
AB  - First conducted during the 1987-88 school year, the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) provides periodic data on public and private schools in the United States. The Student Records Questionnaire was added during the 1993-94 cycle of SASS to collect student-level data from public schools, private schools, and schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The schools provided information from their administrative records for randomly selected students; American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students were oversampled. Extensive data tables present total national enrollments by type of school, race/ethnicity, sex, community type (rural/urban), and region; describe characteristics of AIAN students (tribal membership and enrollment, currently taught or counseled by AIAN staff); and provide information from BIA schools, public schools, and private schools for AIAN students, other minority students, and White non-Hispanic students, and for males and females on the following: (1) students who withdrew, dropped out, or were chronically truant and reasons for the behavior; (2) students receiving special programs or services; (3) disabilities; (4) retention in grade; (5) junior high and high school students enrolled in various science and mathematics courses; (6) students enrolled in various Native studies, culture, and language courses; (7) students who completed advanced placement courses; (8) high school juniors and seniors who sent transcripts to colleges; and (9) students whose primary language is not English and those with limited English proficiency. Technical notes detail survey content, methodology, and definitions. Appendices include standard error tables, the Student Records Questionnaire, and a list of SASS data products. (SV)

T1  - An Overview of the National Household Education Survey: 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1996. Technical Report.
AN  - 62622711; ED408364
AB  - The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a data collection system of the National Center for Education Statistics, which has as its mission the collection and publication of data on the condition of education in the United States. The NHES is specifically designed to provide information on educational issues that are best addressed by contacting households rather than educational institutions. The NHES, which was conducted in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1996, is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States. From 45,000 to 64,000 households are screened for each administration and those who meet predetermined criteria are sampled for more detailed or extended interviews. This report presents an overview of the NHES survey program from 1991 to 1996, addressing specific aspects such as survey topics, sample design, and data collection. It discusses how the NHES has evolved over time, but is not intended to provide detailed information about each NHES cycle. The following components were surveyed in these years: (1) 1991--early childhood education and adult education; (2) 1993--school readiness, school safety and discipline--parent and youth interviews; (3) 1995--early childhood program participation and adult education; and (4) 1996--household and library screening and parent/family involvement in education and civic involvement--parent interview. (Contains three tables.) (SLD)

T1  - Characteristics of Small and Rural School Districts. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62605676; ED408144
AB  - Small rural school districts constitute a major portion of the public elementary and secondary sector of education. Using information from the Common Core of Data, this report focuses on the approximately 4,000 small rural school districts operating since 1986-87; their status in 1993-94; and how they changed each year during that 7-year period, drawing comparisons where appropriate to larger districts and districts in urban and suburban settings. In this report, a small district is defined as one that has less than 25 students per elementary grade and less than 100 students per secondary grade. Chapters cover the following: (1) data sources and definitions of terms; (2) enrollment size and location of small rural districts, district grade-level types, school district consolidation, and enrollment trends; (3) school characteristics (number of schools per district, school size, grade span configuration, ungraded instruction, kindergarten and prekindergarten, and school closings); (4) student characteristics (minority groups, limited English proficiency, special education, and poverty); and (5) per-pupil revenues and expenditures and student-teacher ratios. Appendices include extensive data tables and technical notes. Contains 30 references and statistical figures. (SV)

T1  - Characteristics of Stayers, Movers, and Leavers: Results from the Teacher Followup Survey: 1994-95. Schools and Staffing Survey. E.D. Tabs.
AN  - 62603605; ED408708
AB  - The TFS (Teacher Followup Survey is a survey of elementary and secondary school teachers who participated in the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) Teacher Questionnaire and is conducted in the school year following the SASS data collection. The sample for the 1994-95 TFS was selected from the 7,200 teachers who participated in the 1993-94 SASS; it consisted of all who left teaching within the year after SASS was administered and a subsample of those who continued teaching. The TFS sought to provide estimates of teacher attrition rates; examine the characteristics of those who stay in the teaching profession and those who leave; obtain data on occupations or other activities for those who leave teaching and career information for those who are still teaching; update information on education, other training, and career plans; and collect data on attitudes about the teaching profession and job satisfaction. Some highlights follow: The attrition rate from the teaching profession between 1993-94 and 1994-95 was 6.6 percent in public schools and 11.9 percent in private schools. Teacher attrition varied by teacher's age. The two main reasons cited by public school teachers for leaving the teaching profession were retirement and pregnancy/child rearing; private school teachers reported that they left to pursue another career or because of a family or personal move. Nineteen tables are included. Appendices contain 15 standard error tables, copies of the Teacher Followup Surveys (for former and for current teachers), and a list of SASS and TFS data products.

T1  - Selected Papers in School Finance, 1995.
AN  - 62603577; ED408691
AB  - Those who study education policy have struggled to understand how money matters in education and why educational research finds no strong or consistent relationship between expenditures and student performance. The papers in this publication were commissioned by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to address the twin concerns of what additional school-finance information NCES should collect and report, and how extant data might be analyzed. The publication is dedicated to Charles S. Benson, University of California, Berkeley, who dedicated his life's work to improving education finance for students in poor school districts. Following the foreword by Paul D. Planchon, and acknowledgments, contents include the following papers: (1) "Introduction and Overview" (William J. Fowler, Jr.); (2) "Does Money Matter in Education? A Policymaker's Guide" (Lawrence O. Picus); (3) "The Effect of Constitutional Litigation on Educational Finance: A Further Analysis" (G. Alan Hickrod); (4) "Student-Level School Resource Measures" (Robert Berne and Leanna Stiefel); (5) "Proposed 'Good Practices' for Creating Data Bases from the F-33 and CCD for School Finance Analyses" (Michael O'Leary and Jay Moskowitz); and (6) "The Empirical Argument for Educational Adequacy, the Critical Gaps in the Knowledge Base, and a Suggested Research Agenda" (William H. Clune). Each article contains references. (LMI)

T1  - Public Libraries in the United States: FY1994. E.D. Tabs.
AN  - 62602758; ED409013
AB  - The tables in this report summarize information about public libraries in the United States for the fiscal year 1994. These data were collected through the seventh Public Libraries Survey (PLS). Respondents for this census were 8,727 of the 8,921 public libraries identified in the 50 states and District of Columbia, by state library agencies. About 11% of the public libraries serve 70% of the population of legally served areas in the United States; 1,455 public libraries (over 16%) reported one or more branch library outlets, with a total of 7,025; total operating expenditures for public libraries were over $4.9 billion in 1994; libraries reported a total of nearly 112,823 paid full-time equivalent (FTE) staff; and total nationwide circulation of library materials was nearly 1.6 billion, or 6.4 per capita. The report begins by presenting highlights of the findings. The introduction describes: the terminology used in the document; the survey universe; data collection and use of technology; and quality review of the data. Also included are caveats for statistics. The data are presented in 19 sets of tables, which make up the body of this report. Data is provided on staffing; operating income and expenditures; type of governance; type of administrative structure; public service hours; interlibrary loan; circulation; and library visits. Appendices include a background of the Federal-State Cooperative System (FSCS), a glossary, and a list of states with overlapping population of legal service areas. (AEF)

T1  - The Janus Project. New Learning Technologies: Promises and Prospects for Women. A Discussion Paper.
AN  - 62502460; ED411404
AB  - This discussion paper explores the extent to which new learning technologies can help make learning more available, accessible, and compatible with women's needs and goals. The following topics are discussed: the paper's framework and data sources (discussions with individuals from all regions of Canada whose experience encompasses a range of formal and nonformal education and training, a review of literature on women and new learning technologies, and a review of public policy documents related to technology and learning); expectations and educator provision of access for women and the four levels of access (infrastructure and community, institutional, and individual access); costs and use of resources (values and cost, payment for education and training in Canada, and comparative costs of "old" and "new" technologies); quality and equality of learning (perspectives on learning, different learning tasks, instructor perspectives, keeping a holistic approach in the forefront, the economic rationale); opportunities for learning (nonformal learning and information sharing, formal learning, good examples, the global picture); and tools and strategies (finding and sharing information, evaluating programs, discovering real options, exploring underlying values, conveying concerns to decision makers). A 21-item annotated bibliography and 99-item bibliography are included. (MN)

T1  - Mycosphaerella leaf disease: genetic variation in damage to Eucalyptus nitens, Eucalyptus globulus, and their F sub(1) hybrid
AN  - 16535649; 4315401
AB  - Severity of Mycosphaerella leaf disease was assessed on the adult and juvenile foliage of both controlled crossed and open-pollinated families of Eucalyptus globulus ssp globulus Labill., Eucalyptus nitens (Deane & Maiden) Maiden, Eucalyptus globulus ssp. bicostata (Maiden, Blakely & J. Simm.) Kirkpatr., and their F sub(1) hybrids in a trial in northwest Tasmania, Australia. Within ssp. globulus, disease was more severe on one provenance, Taranna, than another, King Island. For interprovenance hybrids, differences between parents were inherited in an additive manner, whereas interspecific hybrids were generally more susceptible than predicted intraspecific midparent values and occasionally, were more susceptible than the more susceptible parent. Within populations, the narrow-sense heritabilities for Mycosphaerella disease severity were low to moderate (0.004-0.506), but were consistently higher for adult than for juvenile foliage despite disease severity being higher on juvenile foliage. Parental breeding values and heritabilities estimated from open-pollinated progeny were similar to estimates obtained from controlled crosses involving the same parents. Complex genetic interactions were detected between growth, vegetative phase change, and disease severity. It is possible that selection for rapid growth in an environment without disease may result in indirect selection for susceptibility.

T1  - Protein A as a fusion partner for the expression of heterologous proteins in Lactobacillus
AN  - 16231230; 4216797
AB  - An expression system based on the Staphylococcus aureus protein A gene (spa) was developed to allow the production and export of proteins in Lactobacillus. Plasmid shuttle vectors were constructed that carried the eZZ gene, a synthetic gene based on the Protein A gene (spa) but lacking the carboxy-terminal membrane-anchoring region. A gene fusion was created between the eZZ gene and the VD4 region of a chlamydial major outer-membrane protein gene. Expression studies demonstrated the recognition of the spa regulatory signals by several Lactobacillus, with the recombinant protein being expressed (from 0.1 mu g of EZZVD4 fusion protein per ml in L. plantarum up to 10 mu g of EZZ protein per ml in L. fermentum) and exported (levels up to 20% in L. fermentum) in several Lactobacillus strains.

T1  - Lead exposure in papier mache workers
AN  - 16120273; 4222668
AB  - Lead exposure was assessed in a random cohort of 70 male papier mache workers and compared with 35 age and sex matched controls. Blood lead levels in workers were significantly higher than in controls (Mean 68.07 plus or minus 44.64 ug/dl vs 25.52 plus or minus 16.56 ug/dl respectively; P  0.05). Blood levels bore a significant correlation with age but did not bear any correlation with the duration of exposure. Various modes of exposure to lead included hand mixing of paints, skin application of the paint to match shades and making point of the brush using lips and the tongue.

T1  - Field observations on the behavior and ecology of the orangethroat pikeblenny, Chaenopsis alepidota, in the Sea of Cortez
AN  - 16100656; 4207269
AB  - Patterns of space use and defence by the pikeblenny, Chaenopsis alepidota, were studied over a 13-month period in 1977-1978 for a population inhabiting a sand/rubble plain in a small bay along the Baja California coast of the Sea of Cortez. The abundance of C. alepidota varied widely over the year, as did its apparent mobility and territorial behavior. Analysis of size-frequency distributions suggests that in part the change in abundance reflects recruitment and rapid growth of a species that is largely annual. During periods of low population density, resources appeared to be abundant and individuals appeared to roam widely and were largely non-aggressive, whereas during a period of high density, resources appeared to be in shorter supply, individuals were more site-attached and the incidence of agonistic interactions increased markedly. The apparent short generation time of the species suggests population densities vary widely among habitats and years (reflecting recruitment variability), with concomitant shifts in a labile social system. The emphasis in the literature on vigorous territoriality in pikeblennies may reflect a bias due to their conspicuousness during periods of high population density.

T1  - 6. Decreased aggressive behavior in masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) during the parr-smolt transformation
AN  - 16100380; 4201403
AB  - Masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou showed decreasing levels of overt aggressive behavior (nipping) during the parr-smolt transformation. The highest nipping frequencies were observed in immature parr, and the lowest nipping frequencies in fully-smoltified fish. Desmoltified fish showed a return to aggressive behavior. Plasma thyroxine levels were negatively correlated with frequencies of nipping behavior. Reduced aggression is an important behavioral change in preparation for downstream migration by masu salmon, and also for other salmonid species.

T1  - The effect of carrying devices on breeding royal penguins
AN  - 16088080; 4116193
AB  - The impact of Time Depth Recorders (TDRs) and VHF transmitters, deployed on Royal Penguins (Eudyptes schlegeli) to examine foraging behavior, was assessed during all stages of the breeding season. Models of the devices were attached to penguins and compared to control birds with no devices. There were no impacts from transmitters on probability of return from a foraging trip, foraging trip duration, mass gained, water influx, or body composition, but substantial impacts from the TDRs. Attachment of TDRs (1) reduced the likelihood that penguins would continue the breeding attempt, (2) increased foraging trip duration, (3) increased water influx, and (4) decreased fat levels. The effects varied with sex and stage in the breeding season, which appeared to be related to the energetic demands of the stage in the breeding season. TDRs probably increased drag, affecting swimming speed and foraging success. The differential impact of the devices is most likely related to their cross-sectional area and streamlining, with TDRs being larger and less streamlined than transmitters.

In reality, these are strongly influenced by local soil water content and, hence, position relative to the source. This work introduces a model with moisture-dependent root water extraction rate, so that the spatial distribution of uptake is no longer a datum, but emerges as part of the solution. For a diversity or conditions we obtain simple steady solutions describing the interactions between continuous sources and regions of wetting and water extraction. It is shown that as the uptake rate increases, the region decreases markedly in size and becomes more symmetrical in the vertical; for sources at depths that are small relative to the sorptive length, interaction with the surface becomes important; surface evaporation losses significantly reduce the region and increase asymmetry; with non-evaporating surfaces, the region is larger and more symmetrical. The dimensionless coefficient beta , proportional to the ratio of the local extraction rate to the Kirchhoff potential, determines behaviour. Estimating beta under controlled and field conditions is discussed.

T1  - Risk factors in dengue shock syndrome
AN  - 16054745; 4091119
AB  - Despite a growing body of evidence predominantly, but not exclusively, from Thailand suggesting that the risk of developing dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is greatest following an anamnestic dengue infection, particularly if the most recent infection was with dengue 2 virus, there continues to be debate about the justification for these claims. This report describes a five-year, prospective study in two townships (suburbs) in Yangon (Rangoon) Myanmar (Burma) in which attempts were made to confirm the data from an earlier prospective study in Thailand and to address some of the criticism of earlier studies. This investigation found the incidence of anamnestic dengue infections in DSS patients to be significantly higher than in the community from which they were drawn and a significantly higher risk of developing DSS following an anamnestic infection (particularly with dengue 2 virus) than following a primary infection with any serotype.

T1  - Removal of dissolved copper and iron at the freshwater-saltwater interface of an acid mine stream
AN  - 16033659; 4096339
AB  - The King River, Tasmania, contains elevated levels of heavy metals, in particular copper, a result of the discharge of mine tailings and acid mine water from the Mt Lyell copper mine, which operated until late 1994. Samples were collected from the lower King River in July 1994, over a 48-h period, during which time the power station at the head of the river was off for the first 24 h. Saline water was observed in the delta region during this low flow period, and dissolved iron and copper were found to exhibit nonconservative behaviour with salinity. Removal of dissolved copper, as the river enters the harbour, was confirmed by laboratory experiments. The removal mechanism appears to be dependent on rapid pH increases and the formation of amorphous iron flocs which occur in the estuary, and results in a significant proportion of dissolved copper being removed from solution.

T1  - Nutritional properties of microalgae for mariculture
AN  - 16029833; 4089564
AB  - Microalgae are used in mariculture as live feeds for all growth stages of molluscs, for the larval stages of crustaceans and some fish species, and for zooplankton used in mariculture food chains. In order to be nutritionally sufficient, microalgae must supply a balanced mixture of nutrients. We have studied the biochemical composition of about 40 species of microalgae from seven algal classes to define those that may be best adapted to the Australian conditions.Microalgae varied in their proportions of protein (6-52%), carbohydrate (5-23%) and lipid (7-23%). All species had similar amino acid composition, and were rich in the essential amino acids. Microalgal polysaccharides were variable in sugar composition, but most had high proportions of glucose (21-87%). Diatoms, prymnesiophytes, cryptomonads and eustigmatophytes were rich in one or both of the 20:5(n-3) and 22:6(n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids important for marine fish larvae (5-35% total fatty acids), prasinophytes had low to moderate levels of one of the acids (4-10%) whereas chlorophytes were deficient in both acids (0-3%). All species had relatively high concentrations of ascorbic acid (1-16 mg g-1 dry weight) and riboflavin (20-40 mu g g-1).The likely nutritional values of the microalgae, based on their biochemical composition, are discussed.

T1  - Identification and characterization of a basic cell surface-located protein from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11
AN  - 15981206; 4068614
AB  - Extraction of Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 cells with 5 M LiCl yielded a preparation containing a single predominant polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of 32 kDa. A clone encoding an immunoreactive 32-kDa polypeptide was isolated from a pUC18 library of L. fermentum BR11 DNA by screening with an antiserum raised against whole cells of L. fermentum BR11. Sequence determination of the insert in the clone revealed a complete 795-bp open reading frame (ORF) that defines a 28,625-Da polypeptide (BspA). N-terminal sequencing of the LiCl-extracted polypeptide from L. fermentum BR11 confirmed that it is the same as the cloned BspA. BspA was found to have a sequence similar to those of family III of the bacterial solute-binding proteins. The sequences of two ORFs upstream of bspA are consistent with bspA being located in an operon encoding an ATP-binding cassette-type uptake system. Unusually, BspA contains no lipoprotein cleavage and attachment motif (LXXC), despite its origin in a gram-positive bacterium. Biotin labelling and trypsin digestion of whole cells indicated that this polypeptide is exposed on the cell surface. The isoelectric point as predicted from the putative mature sequence is 10.59. It was consequently hypothesized that the positively charged BspA is anchored by electrostatic interaction with acidic groups on the cell surface. It was shown that BspA could be selectively removed from the surface by extraction with an acidic buffer, thus supporting this hypothesis.

T1  - Correlation of Environmental Carbaryl Measurements with Serum and Urinary 1-Naphthol Measurements in a Farmer Applicator and His Family
AN  - 14451375; 10535944
AB  - Estimation of human bioaccumulation of a pesticide from environmental measurements can result in underestimation of exposure. Farmers who apply carbaryl and their families were monitored for the parent compound and its metabolite, 1-naphthol, in serum and urine. Personal air samples and dermal samples were also obtained from the applicator. The personal air sample proved to be sufficient for determining the exposure of the applicator. However, for family members the absorbed dose could only be obtained from the biological data. Correlations were found between the parent compound and its metabolite, making either an acceptable biological indicator of exposure.

T1  - Alterations in Steroidogenesis in Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Exposed Naturally and Experimentally to Environmental Contaminants
AN  - 14450292; 10535947
AB  - Several parameters of endocrine function of alligators from a contaminated (Lake Apopka, Florida) and an uncontaminated lake was compared. Plasma testosterone and gonadal-adrenal mesonephros aromatase activity was decreased in juveniles from the contaminated lake, but 17 beta -estradiol levels were the same as levels in juveniles from the control lake. In a laboratory study, hatchlings that were exposed in the egg to compounds known to disrupt endocrine function showed that tamoxifen and 17 beta -estradiol exposure caused males to change to females. Aromatase activity was increased in these hatchlings. Exposure to vinclozolin did not affect either sex. Exposure to atrazine caused alterations in gonadal-adrenal mesonephros aromitase activity that were not characteristic of either sex, without alterations in differentiation of the testes. None of the parameters of endocrine function were altered by exposure to 2,4-D.

T1  - Talc and Amosite/Crocidolite Preferentially Deposited in the Lungs of Nonoccupational Female Lung Cancer Cases in Urban Areas of Japan
AN  - 14449965; 10535943
AB  - Lungs from 211 women with and without lung cancer residing in urban areas of Japan were analyzed for the number of uncoated fibers (UFs) and ferruginous bodies (FBs) having lengths greater than 5 mu m and aspect ratios above three to one. Women with lung cancer had significantly more FBs and UFs than those with cancers other than lung cancer. The most common fiber meeting the length and aspect ratio criteria were chrysotile fibers. Phase contrast microscopy did not find most of these fibers. the next most common fibers were actinolite/tremolite fibers and fibrous talk. Intermediate size amosite/crocidolite were also found. Levels of this fiber and fibrous talc were greater in urban lung cancer patients than in urban patients with other cancers, rural lung cancer patients, and rural patients with other cancers. These results agreed with phase contrast microscopy results. Therefore, fibrous talc may be implicated as a carcinogen in cases of female lung cancer in urban environments.

T1  - High Lead Exposure and Auditory Sensory-Neural Function in Andean Children
AN  - 14449673; 10535946
AB  - Auditory sensory-neural function was measured in 62 Ecuadoran children from a lead contaminated region and 14 Ecuadorans from a gold mining region with no known lead exposure. Blood mercury and lead levels were also obtained. Median blood lead levels in exposed and unexposed children were 52.6 mu g/dl and 6.4 mu g/dl, respectively. For all blood lead concentrations, pure tone frequency auditory thresholds were normal. In addition, absolute peak and interpeak latencies were normal in seven subjects having high blood lead concentrations. Blood mercury levels were unrelated to auditory function.

T1  - Association Between Air Pollution and low Birth Weight: A Community-Based Study
AN  - 14449420; 10535945
AB  - Exposure to polluted air during all or part of pregnancy was investigated in relation to birth weight of offspring. From 1988 to 1991 women from four locations in Beijing, China were followed during pregnancy. More than 76,000 first births of gestational age between 37 and 44 weeks were included in the sample. A significant relationship between low birth rate and third trimester exposure to sulfur dioxide and total suspended particulates and low birth weight was found. For every increase of 100 mu g/m super(3) in sulfur dioxide and total suspended particulates birth weight was reduced by 7.3 and 6.9 g, respectively.

Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62514408; ED414009
AB  - These hearings transcripts present testimony before the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources to address the question of how to improve the health care status of American children. The hearings addressed a range of issues relating to children's health from witnesses with expertise in pediatric care, public health, mental health, and substance abuse. Each witness addressed the following four questions: (1) "What are the health-related needs of children that we should work to fulfill?"; (2) "How can we better address children's health needs through improvements to federally-funded public health programs?"; (3) "How do you propose we address the problem of ensuring health coverage to children who are currently uninsured, and what should be the Federal role in that endeavor?"; and (4) "How might we encourage the private sector to participate in partnerships with our Government and community organizations to address the needs of children?" Specific child health issues addressed by a variety of witnesses included pediatric illness, children not covered by health insurance, quality care, substance abuse, care delivery systems, child and adolescent psychiatric services, oral health, and prenatal care. Speakers included Senators Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), Edward M. Kennedy (Massachusetts) and Barbara A. Mikulski (Maryland); Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala; hospital administrators and other administrators of organizations concerned with child health. (Author/SD)

T1  - Do We Still Need Controlled Vocabulary? Of Course, We Do! But How Do We Get It: The Roles for Text Analysis Softwares.
AN  - 62597915; ED406996
AB  - The author argues that traditional library cataloging (MARC) and the online public access catalog (OPAC) are in collision with the world of the Internet because items in electronic formats undergo MARC cataloging only on a very selective basis. Also the library profession initially isolated itself from World Wide Web development by predicting no real need for universal access, by ignoring large areas of human creativity, and by de-emphasizing "ephemeral" resources. This paper recommends a constructive merger of the best of both worlds--the full text analysis provided by web search engines and the controlled vocabularies found in library OPACs. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is being used as a testbed to examine relevant techniques. Three of the major text analysis technologies are natural language processing, case-based reasoning, and adaptive learning. As part of "the new OPAC," the Experimental Search System (ESS) is one of the Library of Congress' first efforts to make selected cataloging and digital library resources available over the World Wide Web by means of a single, point-and-click interface. Perhaps even more promising is the idea of using large MARC databases to generate word clusters associated with controlled vocabulary terms and classifications. Six commercial text analysis software products are reviewed in the Appendix, using a comparative table. These tools, many of them associated with major search engine vendors, may support automatic classification and document analysis, thereby increasing cataloger productivity. (AEF)

T1  - Findings from Education and the Economy: An Indicators Report.
AN  - 62603035; ED409617
AB  - The productivity of the U.S. work force is a primary determinant of the standard of living of the U.S. population. Worker productivity is affected by many factors, including the education and skills of the work force. This handbook highlights several measures of productivity and education, and addresses the link between these two sets of measures. The handbook provides data on the following subjects: the trends in worker productivity and the contribution of education; the economic consequences of education for individuals; educational achievement; adult literacy; and the training of labor force participants. The data suggest that American workers are more productive, on average, than workers in any other country; however, worker productivity in several industrialized countries is gradually catching up to that in the U.S. The education of the work force is growing more rapidly in other countries than in the U.S. Although the U.S. leads almost every other industrialized country in college attainment, and the academic achievement of American students has been improving in recent years, U.S. students still tend to lag behind students in other countries with respect to some measures of achievement, particularly in mathematics and science. Finally, when compared with other countries that have tested literacy, the U.S. has a higher concentration of adults who score at the lowest literacy levels. Sixteen figures are included. (LMI)

Some of the results are as follows: (1) about half the students interviewed in grades 6-12 said they participated in community service during the 1995-96 school year; (2) native English-speaking, female, white, 11th- and 12th-grade students who received high grades and were involved in many activities were most likely to participate; (3) students attending a private or church-related school whose parents had college degrees and who participated in community service were most likely to participate; (4) 86 percent of all students were in schools that encouraged community service, either through requiring participation or by arranging or offering it, and students in these schools were more likely to participate; (5) public schools were more likely to arrange but not require community service, whereas private schools were split between those that arranged community service and those that required it; and (6) about half the students who participated regularly in community service said that their service was incorporated into the school curriculum (service learning).

T1  - Education and the Economy: An Indicators Report.
AN  - 62598282; ED407735
AB  - Education is an important contributor to productivity growth and has a major influence on the standard of living of the U.S. population. Economic productivity depends on human as well as physical capital. This report is the first in a series of indicator reports recommended by the congressionally mandated Special Study Panel on Education Indicators. The report examines the link between education and economic productivity from different angles using a variety of data sources. It first presents indicators related to historical trends in worker productivity in the United States and other countries and the contribution of education to these trends. The report also considers the link between education and productivity at the individual level, focusing on the economic consequences of educational attainment, educational achievement, and adult literacy. The link between worker training and productivity is also explored. Finally, the report compares key measures of educational performance in the U.S. with corresponding measures in other countries. The indicators in the report come from many data sources, including the National Center for Education Statistics as well as other federal and international statistical agencies. The report examines the existing research on the indicators and related issues, presenting arguments and conclusions from researchers on all sides of the issues. Eight tables and 57 figures are included. (Contains 88 references). (LMI)

T1  - Hormone-associated cancer: mechanistic similarities between human breast cancer and estrogen-induced kidney carcinogenesis in hamsters.
AN  - 21270492; 11701792
AB  - Estrogens are risk factors for human breast cancer and induce kidney tumors in Syrian hamsters. Mechanistic features of the estrogen-induced hamster kidney tumor model have been compared with corresponding aspects of human breast cancer to gain insight into the mechanism of human mammary oncogenesis. Shared characteristics point to a mechanism of metabolic activation of steroidal estrogens to 4-hydroxylated catechol metabolites that may undergo metabolic redox cycling, a mechanism of generation of reactive free radicals. Tumors may arise in cells genetically altered by various types of estrogen-induced DNA damage. At the same time, these altered cells may respond to estrogen receptor-mediated stimuli in support of cell transformation and growth.

T1  - A pilot study of urinary estrogen metabolites (16alpha-OHE1 and 2-OHE1) in postmenopausal women with and without breast cancer.
AN  - 21263263; 11701796
AB  - The two main pathways for metabolizing estrogen are via 16alpha-hydroxylation and 2-hydroxylation. The 16alpha-hydroxy metabolites are biologically active; the 2-hydroxy metabolites are not. It is suggested that women who metabolize a larger proportion of their endogenous estrogen via the 16alpha-hydroxy pathway may be at significantly elevated risk of breast cancer compared with women who metabolize proportionally more estrogen via the 2-hydroxy pathway. In particular, it is suggested that the ratio of urinary 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1) to 16alpha-hydroxyestrone (16alpha-OHE1) is an index of reduced breast cancer risk. This pilot study compared this ratio in postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer to those of healthy controls. Urinary concentrations of estrone (E1), 17beta-estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) were also quantified. White women who were subjects in a previous breast cancer case-control study at our institution were eligible for inclusion. All participants provided a sample of their first morning urine. The results from the first 25 cases and 23 controls are presented here. The ratio of 2-OHE1 to 16alpha-OHE1 was 12% lower in the cases (p=0.58). However, urinary E1 was 30% higher (p=0.10), E2 was 58% higher (p=0.07), E3 was 15% higher (p=0.48), and the sum of E1, E2, and E3 was 22% higher (p=0.16) in the cases. These preliminary results do not support the hypothesis that the ratio of the two hydroxylation metabolites (2-OHE1/16alpha-OHE1) is an important risk factor for breast cancer or that it is a better predictor of breast cancer risk than levels of E1, E2 and E3 measured in urine.

T1  - Estrogenic and DNA-damaging activity of Red No. 3 in human breast cancer cells.
AN  - 21258714; 11703683
AB  - Exposure to pesticides, dyes, and pollutants that mimic the growth promoting effects of estrogen may cause breast cancer. The pesticide DDT and the food colorant Red No. 3 were found to increase the growth of HTB 133 but not estrogen receptor (ER) negative human breast cells (HTB 125) or rat liver epithelial cells (RLE). Red No. 3, beta-estradiol, and DDT increase ER site-specific DNA binding to the estrogen response element in HTB 133 cells and increase cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Site-specific DNA binding by p53 in RLE, HTB 125, HTB 133, and MCF-7 cells was increased when they were treated with Red No. 3, which suggests that cellular DNA was damaged by this colorant. Red No. 3 increased binding of the ER from MCF-7 cells to the estrogen-responsive element. Consumption of Red No. 3, which has estrogenlike growth stimulatory properties and may be genotoxic, could be a significant risk factor in human breast carcinogenesis. Images Figure 4. A Figure 4.

T1  - Medical hypothesis: bifunctional genetic-hormonal pathways to breast cancer.
AN  - 21251306; 11703684
AB  - As inherited germ line mutations, such as loss of BRCA1 or AT, account for less than 5% of all breast cancer, most cases involve acquired somatic perturbations. Cumulative lifetime exposure to bioavailable estradiol links most known risk factors (except radiation) for breast cancer. Based on a series of recent experimental and epidemiologic findings, we hypothesize that the multistep process of breast carcinogenesis results from exposure to endogenous or exogenous hormones, including phytoestrogens that directly or indirectly alter estrogen metabolism. Xenohormones are defined as xenobiotic materials that modify hormonal production; they can work bifunctionally, through genetic or hormonal paths, depending on the periods and extent of exposure. As for genetic paths, xenohormones can modify DNA structure or function. As for hormonal paths, two distinct mechanisms can influence the potential for aberrant cell growth: compounds can directly bind with endogenous hormone or growth factor receptors affecting cell proliferation or compounds can modify breast cell proliferation altering the formation of hormone metabolites that influence epithelial-stromal interaction and growth regulation. Beneficial xenohormones, such as indole-3-carbinol, genistein, and other bioflavonoids, may reduce aberrant breast cell proliferation, and influence the rate of DNA repair or apoptosis and thereby influence the genetic or hormonal microenvironments. Upon validation with appropriate in vitro and in vivo studies, biologic markers of the risk for breast cancer, such as hormone metabolites, total bioavailable estradiol, and free radical generators can enhance cancer detection and prevention.

T1  - Estrogenic activity of natural and synthetic estrogens in human breast cancer cells in culture.
AN  - 21250940; 11703680
AB  - We investigated the estrogenic activity of various environmental pollutants (xenobiotics), in particular the xenoestrogen o,p-DDT, and compared their effects with those of endogenous estrogens, phytoestrogens, and mycoestrogens on estrogen receptor binding capacity, induction of estrogen end products, and activation of cell proliferation in estrogen-sensitive human breast cancer cells in monolayer culture. We also quantified the levels of phytoestrogens in extracts of some common foods, herbs, and spices and in human saliva following consumption of a high phytoestrogen food source (soy milk) to compare phytoestrogen abundance and bioavailability relative to the reported xenoestrogen burden in humans. Results show that natural endogenous estrogens, phytoestrogens, mycoestrogens, and xenoestrogens bind estrogen receptor (ER) in intact cells, but demonstrate marked differences in their ability to induce end products of estrogen action and to regulate cell proliferation. All of the different classes of estrogens stimulated cell proliferation at concentrations that half-saturated ER, but only some classes were able to induce estrogen-regulated end products. Genistein, a common phytoestrogen found in soy foods, differed from the xenoestrogen DDT in its effects on cell proliferation and ability to induce estrogen-regulated end products. Moreover, we found that many of the foods, herbs, and spices commonly consumed by humans contain significant amounts of phytoestrogens, and consumption of soy milk, a phytoestrogen-rich food, markedly increases the levels of phytoestrogens in saliva. In conclusion, our in vitro results predict that a diet high in phytoestrogens would significantly reduce the binding of weak xenoestrogens to ER in target tissues in vivo.

T1  - Is there an association between exposure to environmental estrogens and breast cancer?
AN  - 21249889; 11704942
AB  - It was initially reported that levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or p,p'-DDE were elevated in breast cancer patients (serum or tissue) versus controls. These results, coupled with reports that selected environmental estrogens decreased 17beta-estradiol (E2) 2-hydroxylase activity and increased the ratio of 16alpha-hydroxyestrone/2-hydroxyestrone metabolites in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, have led to the hypothesis that xenoestrogens are a preventable cause of breast cancer. More recent studies and analysis of organochlorine levels in breast cancer patients versus controls show that these contaminants are not elevated in the latter group. Moreover, occupational exposure to relatively high levels of PCBs and DDT/DDE are not associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer. A reexamination of the radiometric E2 2-hydroxylase assay in MCF-7 cells with diverse estrogens, antiestrogens, and carcinogens showed that the mammary carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene induced this response and the antiestrogen ICI 164,384 decreased E2 2-hydroxylase activity. Thus, E2 2-hydroxylase activity and the 16alpha-hydroxyestrone/2-hydroxyestrone metabolite ratio in MCF-7 cells does not predict xenoestrogens or mammary carcinogens.

T1  - Direct Evaluation of the Ca2+-Displacement Hypothesis for Al Toxicity.
AN  - 1859375163; 12223678
AB  - One explanation for Al toxicity in plants suggests that Al displaces Ca2+ from critical sites in the apoplasm. We evaluated the Ca2+-displacement hypothesis directly using near-isogenic lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that differ in Al tolerance at a single locus. We measured both the growth and total accumulation (apoplasmic plus symplasmic) of 45Ca and Al into roots that had been exposed to Al alone or to Al with other cations. Root growth in the Al-sensitive line was found to be severely inhibited by low activities of Al, even though Ca2+ accumulation was relatively unaffected. In solutions containing the same activity of the Al3+ and Ca2+ ions as above, but also including either 3.0 mM Mg2+, 3.0 mM Sr2+, or 30 mM Na+, growth improved, whereas 45Ca2+ accumulation was significantly decreased. Since most of the 45Ca2+ accumulated by roots during short-term treatments will reside in the apoplasm, these results indicate that displacement of Ca2+ from the apoplasm by Al cannot account for the Al-induced inhibition of root growth and, therefore, do not support the Ca2+-displacement hypothesis for Al toxicity. We also show that total accumulation of Al by root apices is greater in the Al-sensitive genotype than the Al-tolerant genotype and suggest that cation amelioration of Al toxicity is caused by the reduction in Al accumulation.

T1  - Australian heavy-rain days and associated east coast cyclones: 1958-92
AN  - 16527225; 4353995
AB  - The authors present a comprehensive climatology of heavy rain and east coast cyclones from January 1958 to September 1992. A total of 80 cyclones, including nondeveloping systems, were objectively identified from daily rainfall and surface wind observations at 28 stations along the east coast of Australia. The method used first identifies heavy-rain days, then uses the wind observations to differentiate east coast cyclones from other rain-producing systems. This method is found to be reliable and with modifications may be used to identify other mesoscale systems. In general, onshore southeasterly to southerly flow is most commonly associated with heavy rain along the east coast of Australia. Local convective heavy-rain events are most common in the Tropics, and the maximum occurrence of heavy-rain days propagates poleward from summer to winter. The latitudinal position and movement of the subtropical anticyclone. and variations in the Southern Oscillation index, have been found to be major factors in the variability of coastal heavy-rain occurrence. Consistent with previous studies, it is found that east coast cyclones occur primarily in winter and form in regions of warm sea surface temperature anomalies. Intensification of east coast cyclones is associated with strong zonal sea surface temperature gradients, greater than 4 degree C within 50 km of the coastline. Significant correlations exist between the occurrence of east coast cyclones, the Southern Oscillation index, and the latitudinal position of the subtropical anticyclone. The strongest correlations, however, suggest a preference for east coast cyclones to form between extreme episodes (negative to positive) of the Southern Oscillation index. A long-term annual trend toward increased numbers of east coast cyclones has been identified, along with an apparent decrease of local convective heavy-rain events, particularly for coastal stations at higher latitudes. No corresponding trend is found for heavy-rain occurrences, the Southern Oscillation index, or the latitudinal position of the subtropical anticyclone.

T1  - Modeling of Antarctic sea ice in a general circulation model
AN  - 16458065; 4345039
AB  - A dynamic-thermodynamic sea ice model is developed and coupled with the Melbourne University general circulation model to simulate the seasonal cycle of the Antarctic sea ice distribution. The model is efficient, rapid to compute, and useful for a range of climate studies. The thermodynamic part of the sea ice model is similar to that developed by Parkinson and Washington, the dynamics contain a simplified ice rheology that resists compression. The thermodynamics is based on energy conservation at the top surface of the ice/snow, the ice/water interface, and the open water area to determine the ice formation, accretion, and ablation. A lead parameterization is introduced with an effective partitioning scheme for freezing between and under the ice floes. The dynamic calculation determines the motion of ice, which is forced with the atmospheric wind, taking account of ice resistance and rafting. The simulated sea ice distribution compares reasonably well with observations. The seasonal cycle of ice extent is well simulated in phase as well as in magnitude. Simulated sea ice thickness and concentration are also in good agreement with observations over most regions and serve to indicate the importance of advection and ocean drift in the determination of the sea ice distribution.

T1  - Minimizing the personal cost of involvement in research into traumatic death
AN  - 16221893; 4275360
AB  - This study describes the methods used to minimize any work-based disruption to the lives of research officers investigating traumatic work-related deaths. Twenty-two research officers from a variety of backgrounds were recruited to collect data for a study of work-related traumatic death in Australia. The information was collected from coronial files, which often contain detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident; graphic descriptions and photos of the injuries sustained; and intimate personal details of the deceased persons. Specific interventions to minimize problems included: discussing with potential research officers the possible difficulties that might arise from reading the file contents; arranging for a grief counsellor to attend the training and discuss specific techniques for dealing with any emotional problems that might arise during the work (this session included a tour of a morgue); arranging for the research officers to work in pairs, with the aim of providing personal support and encouragement whenever it might be needed; flexibility of working hours; and encouraging contact with members of the study team. The paired working approach appeared to provide effective emotional support. The majority of the research officers reported that they occasionally were upset by the information in the files but that this was easily managed by talking to their fellow researcher and/or spending a few hours away from the work. They also reported that their approach to life out of hours became more cautious. One of the research officers withdrew from the study after two weeks because of physical and psychological symptoms attributed to encountering the information in the files. Within a few weeks of withdrawing these problems had resolved.

T1  - Expression of specific (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase genes in leaves of near-isogenic resistant and susceptible barley lines infected with the leaf scald fungus (Rhynchosporium secalis)
AN  - 16206711; 4274517
AB  - Near-isogenic resistant and susceptible lines of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were inoculated with a virulent race of the causal agent of leaf scald. Rhynchosporium secalis, and the expression patterns of specific barley (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucan endohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.39) isoenzymes monitored. Induction of (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase activity occurred 1 day earlier and to higher levels in the resistant backcross line BC-200 than in the susceptible parent line. Thus, the resistant plants of this backcross line responded more rapidly to pathogen invasion than susceptible lines. The increased (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase activity was attributable predominantly to a 2-3 day period in which mRNA transcripts of genes that encode isoenzymes GII and GI accumulated. These genes may therefore be important in the defence responses of barley backcross line BC-200 to pathogen attack. A second scald-resistant backcross line, BC-30, developed levels of (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase similar to BC-200 upon infection, but maximal levels were reached later than in BC-200. The third resistant backcross line, BC-35, showed the same pattern of expression as the susceptible parent cultivar, Clipper. The differences in expression of (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase between the resistant backcross lines clearly show that there are physiologically distinct modes of resistance to the scald fungus in barley, and that at least one of these is accompanied by (1 arrow right 3)- beta -glucanase induction.

T1  - Grazing of phytoplankton by copepods in eastern Antarctic coastal waters
AN  - 16115923; 4215890
AB  - Chlorophyll a, primary productivity and grazing by copepods on phytoplankton were measured in the upper water column during the summer of 1994/1995 at a coastal site near Davis Station, East Antarctica. Chlorophyll a was at a maximum in mid-December, then dropped markedly as the coastal fast ice melted and broke-out. Phytoplankton biomass increased again from mid- to late-February. Copepods accounted for at least 65% of zooplankton biomass in the water column before sea ice break-out, whereas larval polychaetes and etenophores dominated after ice break-out. Oncaea curvata was the numerically dominant species throughout the study. The highest grazing rate (8.7 mg C m super(-3) d super(-1)) was recorded on 21 December when O. curvata accounted for 64% of the total. Grazing had decreased markedly by 28 December (0.9 mg C m super(-3) d super(-1)); again O. curvata accounted for over 50% of the total ingested. Copepod grazing increased after ice break-out until the last experiment on 20 February (5 mg C m super(-3) d super(-1)). The main species responsible for grazing during this period were O. curvata, Oithona similis, Calanoides acutus and unidentified copepod nauplii. It was estimated that copepods removed between 1 and 5% of primary productivity.

T1  - Intertemporal effects of environmental mandates
AN  - 16101929; 4203751
AB  - Environmental mandates can impose large costs on the businesses that must comply with them. Understanding the effects of those costs on production decisions may require a dynamic framework if environmental damages (and the costs of complying with mandates) depend on cumulative production or the passage of time. This paper focuses on the time dimension of general categories of fixed and variable costs arising from different types of mandates. The paper develops an optimal control model to predict how such costs may jointly affect current production rates, plant closure dates, and cumulative production. Theoretical results, derived from the comparative statics of the system of equations describing the solution to that model, identify circumstances in which the policy goals of greater production and greater environmental protection may not always be at odds.

T1  - Physical disturbance and marine benthic communities: The effects of mechanical harvesting of cockles on non-target benthic infauna
AN  - 16091213; 4116221
AB  - The effects of physical disturbance processes on marine benthic communities remain an issue of considerable theoretical and practical importance, particularly with respect to the impact of fisheries activity and possible conflict with wildlife conservation objectives. One area where particular concern has been raised is with respect to the effects of mechanical harvesting of cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on non-target benthic infauna in intertidal communities. This paper describes the results of manipulative field experiments which examine the effects of disturbance by two mechanical cockle harvesting methods, hydraulic suction dredging and tractor dredging. Although the suction dredge experiment revealed some statistically significant effects, taken as a whole the results indicated that the faunal structure in disturbed plots recovered (i.e. approached that of the un-disturbed controls) by 56 days. This occurred against a background of consistent increases in the abundance of many taxa in both treatments, which we interpret as the normal seasonal response of the community. The tractor dredge experiment revealed fewer statistically significant effects than the suction dredge experiment, and recovery from disturbance occurred against a background of general seasonal decline in the abundance of the fauna. From the available evidence the most likely mechanism of recovery was through the immigration of adults into disturbed areas. We conclude that mechanical harvesting methods impose high levels of mortality on nontarget benthic fauna, but that recovery of disturbed sites is rapid and the overall effects on populations is probably low. Although our results suggest that tractor dredging has less effect than suction dredging, this result is most likely to be a consequence of the different times of year in which the experiments were conducted. Thus, for this location, we do not believe that a distinction can be made between the effects of the two methods. Although experimental manipulations cannot be conducted on comparable spatial scales to real fishing activity, we believe these results probably do not represent a major under-estimate of recovery times for intertidal habitats similar to the one chosen for this study.

T1  - Mesoclanis seed flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on Chrysanthemoides (Asteraceae) in South Africa: Distribution, attack strategy and impact on seed production
AN  - 16039225; 4094963
AB  - Three species of Mesoclanis flies that attack the developing seeds of Chrysanthemoides monilifera in South Africa are being assessed for their potential as biological control agents of C. monilifera in Australia. Surveys in South Africa indicated that M. polana Munro is restricted to C. m. rotundata along the subtropical northern coast, M. magnipalpis Bezzi and M. dubia Walker occur on all three subspecies sampled (C. m. rotundata, C. m. monilifera, C. m. pisifera), although M. dubia is less abundant and has a more restricted distribution than M. magnipalpis. Mesoclanis eggs are laid into a wide range of flowerhead stages of C. m. rotundata over a period of approximately 12-14 days, from very small flowerheads with involucral bracts still completely closed, to flowerheads with the laminae of ray florets (petals) starting to elongate. Levels of oviposition by M. magnipalpis into C. m. pisifera are low in very young flowerheads, possibly as a consequence of a heavy layer of indumentum on young C. m. pisifera flowerheads. The pattern and location of feeding and pupation within flowerheads differs slightly for the three Mesoclanis species, but none of the species is associated with the formation of gall tissue. The effect of Mesoclanis activity on ovule development was assessed on four occasions. Mesoclanis destroyed all the ovules in some capitula, and the maximum level of ovule destruction recorded for a site was 64%.

T1  - Methylosphaera hansonii gen. nov., sp. nov., a psychrophilic, group I methanotroph from Antarctic marine-salinity, meromictic lakes
AN  - 16016973; 4090050
AB  - Methanotrophic bacteria were enumerated and isolated from the chemocline and surface sediments of marine-salinity Antarctic meromictic lakes located in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica (68 degree S 78 degree E). Most probable number (MPN) analysis indicated that at the chemocline of Ace Lake the methanotroph population made up only a small proportion of the total microbial population and was sharply stratified, with higher populations detected in the surface sediments collected at the edge of Ace Lake and Burton Lake. Methanotrophs were not detected in Pendant Lake. Only a single phenotypic group of methanotrophs was successfully enriched, enumerated and isolated into pure culture from the lake samples. Strains of this group were non-motile, coccoidal in morphology, did not form resting cells, reproduced by constriction, and required seawater for growth. The strains were also psychrophilic, with optimal growth occurring at 10-13 degree C and maximum growth temperatures of 16-21 degree C. The ribulose monophosphate pathway but not the serine pathway for incorporation of C sub(1) compounds was detectable in the strains. The guanine plus cytosine (G+C) content of the genomic DNA was 43-46 mol%. Whole-cell fatty acid analysis indicated that 16:1 omega 8c (37-41%), 16:1 omega 6c (17-19%), 16:1 omega 7c (15-19%) and 16:0 (14-15%) were the major fatty acids in the strains. 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that the strains form a distinct line of descent in the family Methylococcaceae (group I methanotrophs), with the closest relative being the Louisiana Slope methanotrophic mytilid endosymbiont (91.8-92.3% sequence similarity). On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic characteristics the Antarctic lake isolates represent a novel group I methanotrophic genus with the proposed name Methylosphaera hansonii (type strain ACAM 549).

T1  - Scale insects consistently affect roots more than shoots: The impact of infestation size on growth of eucalypt seedlings
AN  - 16003065; 4082294
AB  - Different infestation levels of the phloem-feeding scale insect, Eriococcus coriaceus Maskell (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae), consistently reduced root growth more than shoot growth in seedlings of Eucalyptus blakelyi Maiden (Myrtaceae). Low levels of scale insect infestation significantly decreased root and lignotuber biomass but not shoot biomass. High levels of infestation, however, adversely affected all plant parts. Root and lignotuber biomass declined linearly, while the responses of stem and leaf biomass were nonlinear, with respect to inceasing total insect load. Plant responses to scale insect infestations may be explained by considering sapsucking insects as additional sinks that compete against plant sinks and both redirect and drain resources from the plant. Scale insect populations exhibited strong density dependent effects, suggesting they were severely depleting resources within their hosts. Extensive shoot death at high levels of infestation may have contributed to insect population decline by causing scale insects to die prematurely or by reducing the availability of suitable feeding sites.

T1  - Genome organisation of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from different populations
AN  - 16000237; 4077753
AB  - Isolates from three different Staphylococcus aureus populations were examined for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of total DNA digested with the endonuclease SmaI. The populations were: community S. aureus isolates collected at random from healthy individuals (38 isolates); methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) type strains involved in separate outbreaks of infection in Melbourne (1982) and Canberra (1990) (two isolates); and a collection of clinical methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) causing hospital infection (20 isolates). RFLPs with CspI and SmaI and hybridisation analyses of both, showed that the community and the MSSA isolates were not genetically closely related, and, accordingly, they could not be grouped into clusters as seen with the MRSA types. However, a few MSSA isolates were found to be closely related to each other and appeared to be similar to the standard strain S. aureus 8325-4 and to some MRSA types. Although there was substantial variability between the three groups, physical mapping with genomic DNA fragments from the standard strain S. aureus 8325-4 to probe large fragments generated with CspI and SmaI from the chromosomes of selected community and MRSA isolates, demonstrated a well conserved genome organisation between representative isolates from the three groups.

T1  - Genotype and environment: A comparative evaluation of four tilapia stocks in Fiji
AN  - 15970983; 4070700
AB  - The reproductive, survival and growth performance of four tilapia strains in Fiji, namely Oreochromis mossambicus (M), `Israel' Oreochromis niloticus (NI), `Chitralada' O. niloticus (NC) and Red tilapia hybrid (R) were evaluated in two culture environments currently used in Fiji (integrated and non-integrated farming) for three generations. Results showed significant differences among strains in all traits. Overall, the M strain had the highest breeding efficiency and average fecundity but the poorest growth rate. The NI strain showed the highest survival and a good growth rate but low breeding efficiency and fecundity. Although the R strain showed a good growth rate in favorable environments, it was prone to stress under less optimal conditions and had a relatively low survival rate and only average fecundity. The NC strain showed the best growth rate and feed conversion efficiency, relatively good breeding efficiency but average fecundity and survival. Based on a weighted performance across all traits, the NC strain was identified as the best performing strain in Fijian conditions. Significant genotype-environment interactions estimated during harvest were due to a strong rank interaction in the R strain and also magnitude interactions in the NC and NI strains. Growth performance of the M strain showed the lowest response to quality of culture environment. approaches to improving tilapia production in Fiji are discussed.

T1  - Plasmids and Aeromonas virulence
AN  - 15940577; 4053050
AB  - Most putative virulence determinants of Aeromonas species are chromosomally encoded. However, several recent reports have indicated that some may be carried on or regulated by plasmids. Therefore, we examined the plasmid carriage rate of a total of 140 clinical and environmental Aeromonas isolates. Plasmid carriage was compared with the ability of an isolate to produce toxins and adhere to HEp-2 cells. Overall, plasmid incidence in Aeromonas species was low (23/140, 16%) and independent of the source of the isolate. Plasmids were, however, more common in environmental isolates of A. veronii biovar sobria than in clinical isolates of this species (P<0.05). We could find no evidence to support the recent literature findings that plasmids may have a role in Aeromonas virulence.

T1  - Lead Exposure at an Early Age Substantially Increases Lead Retention in the Rat
AN  - 14453655; 10536767
AB  - Using rats, the effect of age during lead exposure on blood and organ Pb levels 15 months later was investigated. Results indicated that both greater age at the start of Pb exposure and a longer interval since the end of exposure were associated significantly with lower blood and organ Pb concentrations. Stepwise multiple regression of the Pb data showed that body weight at the midpoint or end of Pb exposure, age at organ harvesting, and total Pb consumed significantly influence blood and most organ Pb concentrations. The overall data revealed that Pb exposure at a young age can lead to substantial skeletal Pb accumulation and retention despite a high rate of bone remodeling.

T1  - Medication Use Modifies the Health Effects of Particulate Sulfate Air Pollution in Children with Asthma
AN  - 14453363; 10536770
AB  - In Sokolov, Czech Republic, high levels of sulfur dioxide and particulate air pollution are produced in winter. Air pollution data were generated in the city, which were compared with respiratory responses in asthmatic children. Lung function was assessed daily in the affected children, with some medicated and some not. For the non-medicated children, only a weak association was observed between the 5-d mean of sulfates and respiratory symptoms. However, in children medicated with theophylline, and especially in children also using beta -agonist, an increase in the 5-d mean of sulfates led to a significant increase in the use of medicine, but also to an increase in the prevalence of cough associated with particulate air pollution. Decreases in peak expiratory flow rates were also associated with increased particulate levels in these medicated children.

T1  - Biological Monitoring for Mercury Within a Community with Soil and Fish Contamination
AN  - 14453339; 10536769
AB  - In the vicinity of the Sulfur Bank Mercury Mine located north of San Francisco, CA, which is the home of the a Native American tribe, blood and urine samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of mercury, along with soil and fish samples. The mean inorganic Hg urine level was 1.7 mu g/l, while that in blood was 2.9 mu g/l. The mean organic Hg level in blood was 15.6 mu g/l. The urine levels suggested that exposure to Hg through soil and dust was not significant. However, a correlation between blood Hg levels and fish consumption was observed. Recommendations for reducing exposure to environmental Hg are proposed.

T1  - Expression patterns of vascular-specific promoters RolC and Sh in transgenic potatoes and their use in engineering PLRV-resistant plants
AN  - 853476697; 14055586
AB  - The expression patterns of GUS fusion constructs driven by the Agrobacterium rhizogenes RolC and the maize Sh (Shrunken; sucrose synthase-1) promoters were examined in transgenic potatoes (cv. Atlantic). RolC drove high-level gene expression in phloem tissue, bundle sheath cells and vascular parenchyma, but not in xylem or non-vascular tissues. Sh expression was exclusively confined to phloem tissue. Potato leafroll luteovirus (PLRV) replicates only in phloem tissues, and we show that when RolC is used to drive expression of the PLRV coat protein gene, virus-resistant lines can be obtained. In contrast, no significant resistance was observed when the Sh promoter was used.

T1  - Transforming Ideas for Teaching and Learning the Arts.
AN  - 62614357; ED407354
AB  - This booklet is designed to give teachers some of the latest ideas about how arts principles and concepts can best be understood, taught, and used in the classroom to improve instruction in the arts and other disciplines. Considering the stance of the U.S. Department of Education, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Goals 2000 Arts Education Partnership, and the Coalition for Education in the Arts, and the increasing support from research about the value of the arts, the 1990's seems a time of real opportunity. While there are still issues being discussed, the state-of-the-art in arts education may soon properly reflect the importance of this aspect of education to civilization. The booklet's major ideas, organized into one page sections, include the following: (1) make certain all students have daily arts experiences; (2) the arts offer the opportunity to practice decision making; (3) students need to know the elements of the various arts and need to develop the vocabularies with which to discuss them; (4) experiences in the arts provide opportunities for students to learn as much about themselves as they do about the subject matter; (5) provide students with opportunities to develop a craft while exploring originality and analytical thinking; (6) lead students to new ways of solving problems through unique challenges in the arts, both mental and physical; (7) employ modern technology to encourage imaginative use of artistic material; (8) arts specialists are educators who are also skilled in at least one arts discipline; (9) enriching the experiences of all children as they study literature, history, geography, foreign languages, math, or science is a gift arts specialists offer the school; and (10) a major asset of the arts in education is to make schools a more engaging learning environment. In discussing the U.S. Department of Education's support for the arts, Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley said, "The arts in all their distinct forms define, in many ways, those qualities that are at the heart of education reform in the 1990s--creativity, perseverance, a sense of standards, and above all, a striving for excellence." Contains 53 notes, an 11-item suggested reading list, and a 38-item selected resources list. (CB)

T1  - Characteristics of American Indian and Alaska Native Education: Results from the 1990-91 and 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Surveys.
AN  - 62605514; ED405169
AB  - This report summarizes findings of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with regard to schools that serve American Indian and Alaska Native students, and examines trends since 1990-91 when data were previously collected. In 1993-94, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and federally recognized tribes with BIA funding operated 170 elementary and secondary schools. In addition, 1,244 public schools had high Indian enrollment (at least 25 percent American Indian and Alaska Native students). These two types of schools were typically small and located in rural areas and small towns. However, of the 491,936 American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in K-12 classes, 53 percent attended public schools with low Indian enrollment. Chapters contain many data tables and figures and provide information for the three school types on the following: (1) school and student profiles (school location and size, student race/ethnicity, school programs and services, student-to-staff ratios, graduation rates and requirements, free and reduced-price lunch rates, student linguistic characteristics, support services, and student outcomes); (2) principal characteristics and attitudes (educational background, teaching experience, specialized training, salaries, school goals, perceptions of school problems and influential groups, and career plans); (3) teacher characteristics (demography, qualifications, salaries, and perceptions of problems); (4) teacher supply and demand; and (5) trends since 1991. Appendices include technical notes, tables of estimates and standard errors, and additional resources on SASS. Contains 71 references and an index. (SV)

T1  - The Janus Project Workshop. New Technologies and Women. Proceedings (Montreal, Quebec, Canada, March 21-22, 1997).
AN  - 62513184; ED411403
AB  - A conference was held to discuss the new communications technologies, such as the Internet and the World Wide Web, and their effect on women's opportunities to learn. A paper on woman-centered learning in the digital universe and a discussion paper examining the pros and cons of introducing and using new technologies in educational programs for women were presented on the first day of the conference. The second day opened with a paper providing a gendered perspective on access issues. Workshops on the following topics were conducted during the afternoons of both days of the conference: community access; institutional access; quality of the learning experience; and opportunities for learning. The main issues that surfaced during the conference were summarized in a report titled"Conference Synthesis" (Linda Shohet), and 24 recommendations regarding access, opportunities, quality of learning, and impact of the new communication technologies on women's lives were formulated. (Appended are the two discussion papers: "Women-Centered Learning in the Digital Universe," by Heather Menzies, and "A Gendered Perspective on Access Issues," by Leslie Regan Shade. Also included are a 28-item list of print resources and websites and principles of accessible web page design.) (MN)

T1  - Some Observations on Power and Property Rights in the Inland Fisheries of Bangladesh
AN  - 61545624; 199703621
AB  - Fieldwork conducted in 1992 is drawn on to examine the causes behind fishermen's failure to establish property rights over fishing grounds in the inland fisheries of Bangladesh. Property rights are eventually transferred to socially powerful agents (lessees) who are not part of the fishing community. Differential costs of establishing & maintaining property rights have been observed as the key element behind the transfer of rights. This differential cost stems from power asymmetries, & consequently, more rent is generally realizable by the lessees. Differential capacity to realize rent creates the potential for an exchange of rights. 1 Table, 39 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - False Attribution of Suggestibility to Explain Recovered Memory of Childhood Sexual Abuse following Extended Amnesia
AN  - 61504835; 9718056
AB  - To investigate suggestibility among patients who report recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse, suggestibility was measured in 44 psychiatric patients who recovered memories & 31 controls without a history of sexual trauma using G. H. Gudjonsson's (1992) Suggestibility Scale. Results indicate that patients who recovered memories were remarkably less suggestible than the clinical field has been led to believe by advocates of false memory. Recovered memory patients yielded to suggested prompts an average of 6.7 times per case, compared to an average of 10.6 in the control group. Paradoxically, patients without a history of sex abuse were more at risk for altering memory to suggestive prompts. These findings appreciably challenge advocated theories of suggested memory. 2 Tables, 26 References. Adapted from the source document.

AB  - Demographic surveillance data maintained by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, for 11,951 first marriages of Muslims that took place 1975-1987 are drawn on to examine the relationship between parental marriage breakdown & survival of first live-born children in villages of rural Matlab & Daudkandi. Other independent variables included age of mother at birth, mother's education, year of birth, sex of children, & residence at the time of childbirth. It is shown that the net odds of death among children of divorced mothers in infancy & childhood were respectively 3.2 & 1.4 times higher than those of mothers whose marriages continued. Possible mechanisms linking divorce & child survival are discussed. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 17 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Cognitive and psychomotor performance tests and experiment design in multiple chemical sensitivity.
AN  - 21270486; 11701788
AB  - People suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) complain of a variety of symptoms that could impair cognitive and psychomotor function either directly or indirectly. This paper discusses the use of cognitive and psychomotor performance tests together with some experiment designs that could be considered for use to assess fitness of MCS sufferers for work or the efficacy of diagnostic, preventative, or therapeutic measures. The tests could also contribute to the body of objective information on MCS and help sway the opinion of those who are dubious of its authenticity. The credentials of cognitive and psychomotor performance tests are derived from their successful use in studying the effects of drugs, and the types of tests are illustrated by describing those used by the United Kingdom Defence Evaluation and Research Agency Chemical and Biological Defence Human Studies Group, which has been involved in the assessment of drugs and chemicals on work performance for many years. The tests include mathematical, verbal and spatial processing, tracking, reaction time, attention and vigilance, and memory tests. The discussion of experiment designs includes both repeated measures and parallel groups designs together with their advantages and disadvantages and some suggested modifications to accommodate the particular problems posed by MCS.

T1  - A behavior-genetic approach to multiple chemical sensitivity.
AN  - 21262267; 11701784
AB  - This report emphasizes the application of behavior-genetic designs to the study of sensitivity to toxic chemicals, and features of multiple chemical sensitivity and substance abuse that are polar opposites. The implications of these issues for future research are discussed in relation to twin, adoption, and sibling pair studies, as well as in relation to the degree to which genetically selected lines of rodents that have been developed in the alcoholism field are applicable to multiple chemical sensitivity.

T1  - Toxicant-induced loss of tolerance--an emerging theory of disease?
AN  - 21258696; 11703676
AB  - This paper attempts to clarify the nature of chemical sensitivity by proposing a theory of disease that unites the disparate clinical observations associated with the condition. Sensitivity to chemicals appears to be the consequence of a two-step process: loss of tolerance in susceptible persons following exposure to various toxicants, and subsequent triggering of symptoms by extremely small quantities of previously tolerated chemicals, drugs, foods, and food and drug combinations including caffeine and alcohol. Although chemical sensitivity may be the consequence of this process, a term that may more clearly describe the observed process is toxicant-induced loss of tolerance. Features of this yet-to-be-proven mechanism or theory of disease that affect the design of human exposure studies include the stimulatory and withdrawallike nature (resembling addiction) of symptoms reported by patients and masking. Masking, which may blunt or eliminate responses to chemical challenges, appears to have several components: apposition, which is the overlapping of the effects of closely timed exposures, acclimatization or habituation, and addiction. A number of human challenge studies in this area have concluded that there is no physiological basis for chemical sensitivity. However, these studies have failed to address the role of masking. To ensure reliable and reproducible responses to challenges, future studies in which subjects are evaluated in an environmental medical unit, a hospital-based facility in which background chemical exposures are reduced to the lowest levels practicable, may be necessary. A set of postulates is offered to determine whether there is a causal relationship between low-level chemical exposures and symptoms using an environmental medical unit. Images Figure 2. Figure 8.

T1  - Experimental strategies for research on multiple chemical sensitivity.
AN  - 21253886; 11701790
AB  - Skepticism about the validity of the multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) syndrome stems in part from the lack of supporting experimental data. Performing the relevant experiments requires investigators to take account of broad variations in sensitivity and the need to establish reproducibility. The research approach best suited for MCS studies is the single-subject design. In contrast with conventional group designs, such designs emphasize repeated observations on individual subjects. Repeated observations of this kind constitute a time series in which successive measurements are serially or autocorrelated. One statistical method that bypasses the serial correlation problem is randomization tests. Explicit time series analyses take account of this aspect and can correct for it to determine the impact of an intervention such as a chemical exposure.

AB  - This paper develops hypotheses regarding the interactions among stress, immunity, and chemical sensitivities and gives an overview of the questions and hypotheses generated by a working group exploring the application of psychoneuroimmunology to chemical sensitivities. Consideration is given to prospective longitudinal studies designed to find cases among at-risk exposed populations. Relevant immune parameters to be measured longitudinally and in challenge studies for patients with MCS are discussed. Immune system changes in response to the chronic stress of having MCS and as primary responses to chemical exposure also are considered.

T1  - Neurogenic inflammation: with additional discussion of central and perceptual integration of nonneurogenic inflammation.
AN  - 21251505; 11701782
AB  - The Working Group on Neurogenic Inflammation proposed 11 testable hypotheses in the three domains of neurogenic inflammation, perceptual and central integration, and nonneurogenic inflammation. The working group selected the term people reporting chemical sensitivity (PRCS) to identify the primary subject group. In the domain of neurogenic inflammation, testable hypotheses included: PRCS have an increased density of c-fiber neurons in symptomatic tissues; PRCS produce greater quantities of neuropeptides and prostanoids than nonsensitive subjects in response to exposure to low-level capsaicin or irritant chemicals; PRCS have an increased and prolonged response to exogenously administered c-fiber activators such as capsaicin; PRCS demonstrate augmentation of central autonomic reflexes following exposure to agents that produce c-fiber stimulation; PRCS have decreased quantities of neutral endopeptidase in their mucosa; exogenous neuropeptide challenge reproduces symptoms of PRCS. In the domain of perceptual and central integration, testable hypotheses included: PRCS have alterations in adaptation, habituation, cortical representation, perception, cognition, and hedonics compared to controls; the qualitative and quantitative interactions between trigeminal and olfactory systems are altered in PRCS; higher integration of sensory inputs is altered in PRCS. In the domain of nonneurogenic inflammation, testable hypotheses included: increased inflammation is present in PRCS in symptomatic tissues and is associated with a heightened neurosensory response; PRCS show an augmented inflammatory response to chemical exposure. The working group recommended that studies be initiated in these areas.

T1  - Profile of patients with chemical injury and sensitivity.
AN  - 21251293; 11703673
AB  - Patients reporting sensitivity to multiple chemicals at levels usually tolerated by the healthy population were administered standardized questionnaires to evaluate their symptoms and the exposures that aggravated these symptoms. Many patients were referred for medical tests. It is thought that patients with chemical sensitivity have organ abnormalities involving the liver, nervous system (brain, including limbic, peripheral, autonomic), immune system, and porphyrin metabolism, probably reflecting chemical injury to these systems. Laboratory results are not consistent with a psychologic origin of chemical sensitivity. Substantial overlap between chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome exists: the latter two conditions often involve chemical sensitivity and may even be the same disorder. Other disorders commonly seen in chemical sensitivity patients include headache (often migraine), chronic fatigue, musculoskeletal aching, chronic respiratory inflammation (rhinitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, asthma), attention deficit, and hyperactivity (affected younger children). Less common disorders include tremor, seizures, and mitral valve prolapse. Patients with these overlapping disorders should be evaluated for chemical sensitivity and excluded from control groups in future research. Agents whose exposures are associated with symptoms and suspected of causing onset of chemical sensitivity with chronic illness include gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, pesticides (especially chlordane and chlorpyrifos), solvents, new carpet and other renovation materials, adhesives/glues, fiberglass, carbonless copy paper, fabric softener, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, carpet shampoos (lauryl sulfate) and other cleaning agents, isocyanates, combustion products (poorly vented gas heaters, overheated batteries), and medications (dinitrochlorobenzene for warts, intranasally packed neosynephrine, prolonged antibiotics, and general anesthesia with petrochemicals). Multiple mechanisms of chemical injury that magnify response to exposures in chemically sensitive patients can include neurogenic inflammation (respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary), kindling and time-dependent sensitization (neurologic), impaired porphyrin metabolism (multiple organs), and immune activation.

T1  - Chemical sensitivity: the scientific literature.
AN  - 21249782; 11703675
AB  - This article provides an overview of the scientific literature in which chemically sensitive patients have been directly evaluated. For that purpose, consideration of various case definitions is offered along with summaries of subjects' demographic profiles, exposure characteristics, and symptom profiles across studies. Controlled investigations of chemically sensitive subjects without other organic illnesses are reviewed. To date, psychiatric, personality, cognitive/neurologic, immunologic, and olfactory studies have been conducted comparing subjects with primary chemical sensitivity to various control groups. Thus far, the most consistent finding is that chemically sensitive patients have a higher rate of psychiatric disorders across studies and relative to diverse comparison groups. However, since these studies are cross-sectional, causality cannot be implied. Demonstrating the role of low-level chemical exposure in a controlled environment has yet to be undertaken with this patient group and is crucial to the understanding of this phenomenon.

T1  - Influence of wind on water levels and lagoon-river exchange in the River Murray, Australia
AN  - 16521213; 4258607
AB  - This paper examines river water levels and water exchange between the river and an adjacent lagoon at a site on the River Murray about 150 km from its discharge point into Lake Alexandrina. Riverine water levels at the site underwent significant fluctuations ( similar to 0.3 m) which appeared to be mainly associated with fluctuations in the N-S component of wind rather than with discharge. The lagoon studied was connected by a channel to the river. The measured flow through the channel was almost always out and had an average rate over the 30 days of the study which was large enough to empty the lagoon in 9 days. It is hypothesized that the replenishment flow to the lagoon occurred as a seeping flow through the bank separating the lagoon from the river. Successful comparisons between measurements and computer simulations of river water level and of the flow through the channel confirmed that it was the wind stress acting on the surface that mediated variations in riverine water levels and the exchange between river and lagoon.

T1  - Size characteristics and ageing of the environmental tobacco smoke
AN  - 16510772; 4414014
AB  - The work presented here is a study of the behaviour of the particulate phase of ETS under controlled laboratory conditions and in real indoor environments with the aim of providing information for assessment of human exposure to ETS. This paper reports investigations of the size distribution of ETS and changes to the distribution with time under a range of environmental conditions. Measurements were performed using two instruments, the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer and the Aerodynamic Particle Sizer, which enabled the determination of the precise locations of ETS peaks at frequent short time intervals. While total particle concentrations or changes in concentrations are not specific markers of ETS, peaks related to ETS in the spectral distribution of atmospheric particles, for a properly designed experiment, are. The presence and locations of these peaks are characteristic of ETS in indoor environments and are clearly distinguishable from the background particle distribution. It is demonstrated that an initial ETS size distribution in an indoor environment about 10 min after generation by a human smoker has a major peak in the submicron range between 60 and 90 nm. The location of the peak does not depend on the relative humidity, but does depend on the way the cigarette is smoked. An increase in particle size in the range of 20 to 50%, takes place in the first 30 to 60 min after ETS generation and then remains unchanged for the duration of the experiment. A decrease in particle size (shrinkage), was not observed during these experiments.

T1  - Temperature stratification in the lower River Murray, Australia: Implication for cyanobacterial bloom development
AN  - 16346260; 4292808
AB  - The relationship between temperature stratification of the water column, river discharge and meteorological forcing was examined for the lower River Murray by using a combination of field measurements and a simple mixing criterion. Wind was found to be the dominant variable affecting the degree of temperature stratification under low flow conditions typical of summer. The results of a three-month intensive study were used in conjunction with six years of historical data to determine the stratification potential of the lower River Murray and its implication for water quality and cyanobacterial bloom development. The physical characteristics and therefore stratification behaviour of the water column in the river section studied are not conducive to sustained blooms at any time of the year because of a combination of strong winds and sufficiently high river discharges.

T1  - Acute lower respiratory infections in rural Bangladesh children: Patterns of treatment and identification of barriers
AN  - 16244872; 4232640
AB  - A study conducted in rural Bangladesh examined the patterns of health seeking behavior, mothers' recognition of symptoms, the perceived causes and barriers to timely treatment of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI). A total of 194 children under 5 years of age suffering from ALRI in an intensive maternal child death and family planning area was prospectively followed. About 62% of the mothers sought allopathic treatment for their children within 24 hours of case detection. No treatment of any kind was sought in 45 (23.2%) cases. Most of the mothers could recognize the different symptoms of ALRI. Cold was reported as the most common cause of ALRI. No significant difference was observed in the reported symptoms or perceived cause of the disease between those who sought no treatment and those who sought allopathic, homeopathic, spiritual or combined treatments. Failure to recognize severity followed by work loss were the most common reasons identified for not seeking any medical care. Whether or not a mother sought allopathic treatment was not associated with the child's age, sex, mother's age, mother's education, duration of illness, birth order, housing type or distance from the health center. The study indicates the potential value of giving parents clear guidelines on recognition of severity of symptoms of ALRI and motivating them to seek treatment quickly when these symptoms present.

T1  - Patterns of growth and setal development in the deep-sea worm, Strepternos didymopyton (Polychaeta: Chrysopetalidae)
AN  - 16054124; 4101032
AB  - A number of post-larval and juvenile chrysopetalid polychaetes were made available for study from experimental wooden panels collected in deep waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. Benthic post-larvae of 10 to 11 segments possess a large rounded prostomium with eye spots, two pairs of larval dorsal and ventral cirri and cilia tufts associated with sites where notopodia are developing on segment 2. Juveniles of 12 to 30 segments exhibit reduction in size of prostomium; gradual loss of eye pigment; loss of larval cirri; development of notopodia of segment 2 and subsequent torsion of neuropodia of segment 2 dorsally. Juveniles display distinctive petaloid notosetal paleae and notosetal patterns unlike the narrow, pointed paleae and notosetal patterns observed in adults. Observed setal change is linked to hypothetical life strategies of Strepternos didymopyton. Possible origins and function of paleate setal change is discussed.

T1  - Light response characteristics of a morphologically diverse group of southern hemisphere conifers as measured by chlorophyll fluorescence
AN  - 16035897; 4093061
AB  - Unlike northern hemisphere conifer families, the southern family, Podocarpaceae, produces a great variety of foliage forms ranging from functionally broad-, to needle-leaved. The production of broad photosynthetic surfaces in podocarps has been linked qualitatively to low-light-environments, and we undertook to assess the validity of this assumption by measuring the light response of a morphologically diverse group of podocarps. The light response, as apparent photochemical electron transport rate (ETR), was measured by modulated fluorescence in ten species of this family and six associated species (including five Cupressaceae and one functionally needle-leaved angiosperm) all grown under identical glasshouse conditions. In all species, ETR was found to increase as light intensity increased, reaching a peak value (ETR sub(max)) at saturating quantum flux (PPFD sub(sat)), and decreasing thereafter. ETR sub(max) ranged from 217 mu mol electrons/m super(2)/s at a PPFD sub(sat) of 1725 mu mol photons/m super(2) s in Actinostrobus acuminatus to an ETR of 60 mu mol electrons/m super(2)/s at a PPFD sub(sat) of 745 mu mol electrons/m super(2)/s in Podocarpus dispermis. Good correlations were observed between ETR sub(max) and both PPFD sub(sat) and maximum assimilation rate measured by gas-exchange analysis. The effective quantum yield at light saturation remained constant in all species with an average value of 0.278 plus or minus 0.0035 determined for all 16 species. Differences in the shapes of light response curves were related to differences in the response of non-photochemical quenching (q sub(n)), with q sub(n) saturating faster in species with low PPFD sub(sat). Amongst the species of Podocarpaceae, the log of average shoot width was well correlated with PPFD sub(sat), wider leaves saturating at lower light intensities. This suggests that broadly flattened shoots in the Podocarpaceae are an adaptation to low light intensity.

T1  - The influence of topography on meteorological variables and surface-atmosphere interactions
AN  - 15983751; 4084303
AB  - Topography perturbs practically every process and variable relevant to land-atmosphere interactions, including radiation, air temperature and saturation deficit, wind and turbulence, cloudiness and precipitation, and properties of the soil and vegetation. We review progress in understanding some of these influences, concentrating on the wind field and the exchanges of scalars (especially sensible and latent heat) over low to moderate hills, both without and with flow separation. The treatment of the wind field is based on a physical division of the flow into inner, outer and wake regions. This framework is used to discuss modelling approaches, measurements of both the mean flow and the turbulence, special processes in the wake region, and the effects of stratification. Scalar transfer and the surface energy balance are discussed first in terms of a linear theory which accommodates radiative, aerodynamic, and elevation perturbations on the surface energy balance over hills. The linear theory provides general scales for determining the relative magnitudes of these perturbations, but its quantitative predictions are limited to low slopes without separation. Next, wind tunnel experiments are used to study the aerodynamic perturbations on scalar transfer caused by hills in situations outside the scope of the linear theory, such as flows with separation. Finally, the wind tunnel results are extrapolated to the atmosphere, using the framework of a convective boundary layer model. It is found that, for relatively gentle topography, the regional surface energy balance (spatially averaged over several hills) is insensitive to the presence of the topography.

T1  - Transfer RNA-mediated suppression of amber stop codons in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
AN  - 15982949; 4069672
AB  - An artificial amber suppressor tRNA super(Leu) gene (supL) was physically linked to a mutated gus reporter gene, p35S-gus(amL), which was inactivated by an amber stop codon (amL). Upon introduction into Arabidopsis thaliana, the presence of the supL gene was found to be correlated with cytotoxic effects observed during tissue culture and in mature plants. Those primary transformants that displayed cytotoxic symptoms were shown by X-Gluc staining to express GUS as a result of amber stop codon suppression in vivo. Phenotypically normal lines were found by RT-PCR to express supL. GUS activity above background level was barely detectable in these plants, indicating a low level expression of supL. However, the remaining suppressor activity was still sufficient to transactivate an amber-mutated male sterility gene, pA9-barnase(amL1) when combined within the same plant by crossing. The suppressor tRNA super(Leu) gene may thus be used in transgenic plants for gene transactivation.

T1  - Fisheries stock assessment and decision analysis: The Bayesian approach
AN  - 15973806; 4071585
AB  - The Bayesian approach to stock assessment determines the probabilities of alternative hypothesis using information for the stock in question and from inferences for other stocks/species. These probabilities are essential if the consequence of alternative management actions are to be evaluated through a decision analysis. Using the Bayesian approach to stock assessment and decision analysis it becomes possible to admit the full range of uncertainty and use the collective historical experience of fisheries science when estimating the consequences of proposed management actions. Recent advances in computing algorithms and power have allowed methods based on the Bayesian approach to be used even for fairly complex stock assessment models and to be within the reach of most stock assessment scientists. However, to avoid coming to ill-founded conclusions, care must be taken when selecting prior distributions. In particular, selection of priors designed to be noninformative with respect to quantities of interest to management is problematic. The arguments of the paper are illustrated using New Zealand's western stock of hoki, Macruronus novaezelandiae (Merlucciidae) and the Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort Seas stock of bowhead whales as examples.

T1  - Mercury in waters of the Derwent Estuary -- sample treatment and analysis
AN  - 15923788; 4050342
AB  - A reliable procedure for mercury sample collection, storage and analysis has been established for estuarine waters using relatively inexpensive reagents and apparatus. SnCl sub(2)-reactive (easily reducible), acid-labile (30-day storage of unfiltered samples with 1% HNO sub(3), and particulate mercury were determined in water samples from the Derwent Estuary using a preconcentration step followed by syringe-injection cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy. Acid-labile and particulate mercury results were closely correlated, indicating that suspended particulate matter was the main contributor to mercury in the water column. Bottom waters in mid-reaches of the estuary displayed the highest acid-labile mercury concentrations, with values up to 350 ng/l consistently exceeding national guidelines (100 ng/l), but indicating improvement over values of 16,000 ng/l reported in 1975. Further experiments confirmed the high mercury scavenging ability of suspended particulate matter in the Derwent Estuary, and indicate the ultimate fate of these particles is the dominant sink for inorganic mercury in the estuary.

T1  - Intrauterine Growth Retardation in Iowa Communities with Herbicide-Contaminated Drinking Water Supplies
AN  - 14451421; 10534570
AB  - The Rathburn rural water system in Iowa was found to contain elevated levels of triazine herbicides. Water samples were collected from this system and from other similar systems in the state, and the relationship between herbicide residues and the rates of low birth weight, prematurity, and intrauterine growth retardation was compared. Most contaminants were detected more often in surface-water sources than in groundwater. The Rathburn water samples contained greater rates of positive detections of alachlor, atrazine, cyanazine, metolachlor, and 2,4-D than samples from the other systems. The rate of live births with intrauterine growth retardation was 1.8 times higher in the Rathburn-served communities than the others. In addition, low birth weight was marginally greater and prematurity was marginally less in the Rathburn-served communities. Further study is warranted.

AN  - 14450344; 10534569
AB  - Respiratory morbidity was compared in 9-yr-old children exposed and unexposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Of the mothers examined, 15.6% smoked cigarettes during the entire pregnancy. A high correlation was found between maternal smoking during pregnancy, postnatal maternal smoking, and environmental tobacco smoke exposure of children. Environmental tobacco smoke affected susceptibility to respiratory infections to a smaller degree than smoking by mothers during pregnancy. The prevalence of children predisposed to acute respiratory infections increased with the number of cigarettes smoked daily in the household. The presence of an allergy significantly strengthened the effects of environmental tobacco smoke.

T1  - Environmental Xenobiotics May Disrupt Normal Endocrine Function by Interfering with the Binding of Physiological Ligands to Steroid Receptors and Binding Proteins
AN  - 14447542; 10534568
AB  - The endocrine-disrupting effects of many xenobiotics can be interpreted as interference with the steroidal regulation of the normal development and function of the male and female reproductive tracts, and the initial step in the mechanism of action of steroid hormones is binding to the receptors or binding proteins. Binding assays were conducted using xenobiotics that had been found to be endocrine-disrupters in an effort to determine whether the xenobiotics acted through steroid-receptor or steroid-binding protein pathways. Results indicated that the xenobiotics interacted in a specific and differential manner with the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor, androgen-binding protein, and sex hormone-binding globulin. Especially DDT congeners were able to interfere with the binding of natural ligands to two or more binding moieties, thus amplifying their potential endocrine-disruption effects.

T1  - BLENDING HEIGHTS FOR WINDS OBLIQUE TO CHECKERBOARDS
AN  - 787228845; 13660232
AB  - Analysis of the two-dimensional checkerboardproblem of many alternating surfaces with different properties andvarious scales and aspect ratios is extended to the general case ofwinds oblique to the surface pattern. Relevant periodic solutions ofa three-dimensional atmospheric convection-diffusion equation arefound, and used to estimate blending heights for both concentrationand flux. Illustrative results show negligible directional effect on blendingheight for X1* (the smaller pattern wavelength) of 10 m, but a ratio of maximum/minimum heights of about 3 to 5 for X1* = 100 m. For X1* = 1000 mthe directional variation is strongly peaked with a maximum/minimum ratio of 8 to 14. At fixed X1* the maximum increases with check aspect ratio. It is associated withthe case where the wind blows along one check diagonal. In thatsingular situation, damping of the dominant harmonic varying normalto the diagonal depends purely on transverse and vertical diffusion:horizontal convection and wind shear play no part.

AB  - This report presents data on the plans and expectations, preparation and course-taking patterns, college enrollment rates, and college persistence and completion of minorities in comparison with the majority, white population. The data reported show the following: (1) that while almost all high school seniors expect to complete at least some college, Hispanic seniors are less likely to plan to attend college right after high school; (2) that black and Hispanic graduates are less likely than white peers to make an immediate transition to college with Hispanics more likely to enroll in two-year colleges; (3) that white and Asian/Pacific Islanders are more likely than black and Hispanic counterparts to persist toward a bachelor's degree; (4) that black and American Indian/Alaskan Native graduates are less likely than white and Asian/Pacific Islanders to earn a bachelor's degree in 4 years or less; (5) that while several minority groups major in fields that will help them recoup college costs, black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islanders are less likely than whites to major in education, with the last-named group more likely than whites to major in computer science and engineering. The report also reviews an alternative approach to assessing these data. (Contains 35 references.) (CH)

AB  - For more than a quarter of a century, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has reported to policy makers, educators, and the general public on the educational achievement of students in the United States. The NAEP 1996 mathematics assessment continues the mandate to evaluate and report the educational progress of students at grades 4, 8, and 12. The national results provided in this report describe students' mathematics achievement at each grade within various subgroups of the general population. State-level results for grades 4 and 8 are presented for individual states and jurisdictions that chose to participate in the 1996 state assessment. In addition, trends in performance since 1990 are reported for the nation and for states and jurisdictions that participated in the 1990, 1992, and 1996 assessments. Chapters include: (1) "NAEP 1996 Mathematics Assessment"; (2) "Mathematics Scale Score Results: National and State Trends and Comparisons"; (3) "Achievement Level Results"; and (4) "Exploring a More Inclusive NAEP".

T1  - Time Spent Teaching Core Academic Subjects in Elementary Schools. Comparisons across Community, School, Teacher, and Student Characteristics. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62594050; ED406456
AB  - The proportion of time that elementary school teachers use to teach core academic subjects (English/reading/language arts, mathematics, social studies, science) is an important aspect of instruction. Spending a large proportion of time teaching core curriculum subjects may be important not only in terms of school quality, but also in terms of teacher satisfaction. This report compares the amount of time spent teaching the four basic subjects to the amount of time students spend in school each week. It compares various school and student variables, such as control of school, urbanicity, school size, percentage of minority students, and percentage of students eligible for free lunch, as well as other classroom and teacher variables. Data come from the Schools and Staffing Survey for years 1987-88 to 1993-94. Given the heterogeneity of schools in the United States, remarkably few differences were found in the percentage of school time teachers in the first four grades spent on the core subjects. Public school teachers spent about 68% of their time, or almost 22 hours each week, on core curriculum, and private school elementary teachers spent about 58% of their time. The percentage of time spent on core subjects changed relatively little from 1987 to 1994. However, teachers spent more time on out-of-classroom activities in 1993-94, a finding that may explain how teachers balance the pressures of instructional time and time for additional responsibilities. Three appendixes contain tables concerning time allocation, standard errors for those tables, and technical notes for the analysis. (Contains 5 tables, 22 appendix tables, 4 figures, and 17 references.) (SLD)

T1  - The role of oxygen free radicals in occupational and environmental lung diseases.
AN  - 21262238; 11701781
AB  - Oxygen free radicals and their metabolites, collectively described as reactive oxygen species (ROS), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The pulmonary system is particularly vulnerable to ROS-induced injury because of its continuous exposure to toxic pollutants from a wide variety of sources in the ambient air. Additionally, lungs are exposed systemically to ROS generated from xenobiotic compounds and endogenous sources. This review describes the sources of endogenous and exogenous ROS generation in the lung. Special emphasis is given to major sources of ROS in occupational and environmental exposures to asbestos, crystalline silica, coal, chromium, herbicides, bleomycin, and cigarette smoke. ROS-induced lung injury at different target levels may contribute to similar patterns of cell injury and alterations at the molecular level by initiation, propagation, and autocatalytic chain reactions. Intracellular signalling, activation and inactivation of enzymes, stimulation, secretion, and release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and nuclear factor activation and alterations are also common events. Understanding the interactions of these intricate mechanistic events is important in the prevention and amelioration of lung injury that results from acute and chronic exposures to toxins in ambient air.

T1  - Pelagic biomass and community structure over the mid-continental slope off southeastern-Australia based upon acoustic and midwater trawl sampling
AN  - 16454660; 4345412
AB  - We compare estimates of biomass and community structure based upon depth-stratified sampling from 0 to 900 m at a site on the continental slope south of Tasmania, Australia, using an EK500 acoustic system with vessel-mounted and deeply towed 38 kHz split-beam transducers and a midwater trawl with opening-closing codend system. Multivariate analyses of the target strength (TS) distributions and of dominant species in the tows provided consistent views of community structure: an epipelagic community that was differentiated and mid-depth and deep communities not differentiated on a diel basis. Peaks in the TS distributions and the estimated TS of key biological groups were congruent, although the in situ TS data indicated that fishes with swimbladders in the size range of myctophids have lower TS (up to 5 dB) than previously predicted for physoclists, possibly due to the smaller volume of gas-filled swimbladders among mesopelagic fishes. There was a progressive increase in modal TS distributions with depth, consistent with the larger mean size of both squids and fishes in the deeper strata. Biomass was lowest in the daytime near-surface stratum, but there were no other trends of biomass with depth. The acoustic estimate of biomass based upon the trawl-derived assessment of community composition was 7-fold higher than the trawl-based volume-swept biomass estimate. This acoustic biomass estimate was 3-fold less than one based upon an assessment of community composition derived from TS distributions. The higher acoustic biomass estimates are consistent with regional estimates of primary production and simple trophodynamic calculations.

T1  - Fast measurements of transmission of erythema effective irradiance through clothing fabrics
AN  - 16438494; 4340215
AB  - For efficiently measuring ultraviolet transmission through clothing materials for a large number of samples, an automated measuring system with a broad-band method has been built and calibrated against a spectroradiometer based instrument. The apparatus can be used to test 60 samples in 25 min. A selection of clothing materials of known composition, weave, color and state have been tested, using the broad band method and the automated measuring system together with a solar ultraviolet simulator. Variations of about eleven times for different weave structure, about two times in the ultraviolet transmittance for different colors, and about 20 times for some stretched samples were observed. For wet conditions, an increment in ultraviolet transmittance for cotton and lycra materials and a decrement for polyester and polyester(65%)/cotton(35%) were also observed.

T1  - The physiological strain induced by a new low burden chemical protective ensemble
AN  - 16039203; 4095665
AB  - The physiological responses of a group of nine subjects exercising at a metabolic rate of 510 W in a new low burden chemical protective ensemble, the Chemical/Biological Combat Suit (CBCS), have been determined under a warm, humid climatic condition, 30 degree C and 60% relative humidity. The CBCS was significantly superior to a current NBC overgarment (MK4) in terms of induced physiological strain. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference between the normal combat uniform (DPCU) and the CBCS worn as a combat uniform (CS), without hood, mask and gloves, in terms of increase in rectal temperature and increase in heart rate. The major limitation on performance in the fully encapsulated CBCS was imposed by the combination of mask, permeable hood and impermeable gloves. It was concluded that there would be a significant improvement in soldier performance in the CBCS rather than in the current MK4 overgarment and that there would be no detriment to soldier performance when wearing the CS uniform in times of chemical threat.

T1  - Calibration and field trial of a dissolved-oxygen membrane electrode: Long-term automatic analyser
AN  - 16027657; 4092099
AB  - Calibration and in-field determination of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations were carried out with an automatic water-quality monitoring system known as QUALTEL. A calibrated Orion oxygen membrane electrode and Winkler method were employed to measure DO in water with different chlorinities and compared with similar measurements using a Danfoss electrode. From the regression equations, a current of 2.97 mA at 25 degree C for water-saturated air was determined as being equivalent to a value of 8.68 mg DO L super(-1) for the Danfoss sensor. From a regression of log phi ( mu A mg super(-1) L super(-1)) versus t ( degree C), a constant (m) and intercept (b) for water-saturated air was obtained, the values being 0.0263 and -0.759, respectively. A linear relationship with a high correlation coefficient for the salt content of the samples at different temperatures was obtained. The field measurements of DO showed that this system was reliable for the unattended monitoring of DO for 70 days.

T1  - Management strategies for oil and grease residues
AN  - 15954177; 4061744
AB  - The fate of organic oil and fat (i.e. "grease", defined as plant oils /animal fats) from restaurants and other commercial kitchens, is probably one of the most forgotten, yet critical issues in waste management, especially in developing countries. Even in cosmopolitan areas like Bangkok (Thailand), oil and grease are either released into the sewer lines, or are collected manually after separation in grease traps and open dumped with solid waste. An investigation was made to assess the quantity and characteristics of oil and grease released from commercial kitchens in Bangkok. Based on the results obtained, a holistic management strategy for these residues was developed. The recommendations for oil and grease management were laid down into three options, depending upon the size of the catering establishment, which affects the collection system, and the treatment, re-use and disposal alternatives. The major steps involved in the management scheme are separation and concentration of grease residues in central receiving treatment containers (CRTCs) at a central wastewater treatment plant (CWTP), anaerobic treatment for by-product recovery, and re-use in industrial applications. For the final disposal of concentrated oil and grease residues and the remaining sludge from anaerobic treatment, priority is given to incineration, together with sewage sludge or solid waste. It is shown that the treatment and disposal of these residues can be integrated into sewage sludge disposal schemes including incineration and anaerobic digestion. Landfill disposal was identified as an intermediate solution, preferably after stabilization.

T1  - Comparison of promoters and selectable marker genes for use in Indica rice transformation
AN  - 15917018; 4045313
AB  - The effectiveness of different promoters for use in Indica rice transformation was compared. Plasmids encoding the Escherichia coli uidA (gus) gene under the control of CaMV 35S, Emu, Act1 or Ubi1 promoters were delivered into cell suspension cultures by particle bombardment. Transient gene expression, 48 h after delivery, was greatest from plasmids utilising the constitutive promoters, Act1 and Ubi1. Gene expression in stably transformed tissue was examined by bombarding embryogenic Indica rice calli with a pUbi1-gus plasmid and a plasmid containing either the selectable marker gene, hph, which confers hygromycin resistance, or bar, which confers resistance to the herbicide phosphinothricin (BASTA) each under the control of the CaMV 35S, Emu, Act1 or the Ubi1 promoters. The bombarded calli were placed on the appropriate selection media and stained for GUS activity at 1 day, 3 weeks and 5 weeks after shooting. Callus bombarded with the pUbi1-hph or the pEmu-hph constructs gave a dramatic increase in the size of the GUS staining areas with time. No such increase in the size of GUS staining areas was observed in calli co-bombarded with pUbi1-gus and any of the bar containing constructs. Co-bombardment of calli with either the pEmu-hph or pUbi1-hph construct and a virus minor coat protein (cp) gene construct resulted in many fertile transgenic Indica rice plants, containing one to eight copies of both the hph and cp genes. These genes were stably inherited by the T sub(1) generation.

T1  - Analytical solutions for advection and advection-diffusion equations with spatially variable coefficients
AN  - 15909987; 4040340
AB  - Analytical solutions are provided for the one-dimensional transport of a pollutant in an open channel with steady unpolluted lateral inflow uniformly distributed over its whole length. This practical problem can be described approximately by spatially variable coefficient advection and advection-diffusion equations with the velocity proportional to distance, and the diffusion coefficient proportional to the square of the velocity. Using a simple transformation, the governing equations can be transformed into constant coefficient problems that have known analytical solutions for general initial and boundary conditions. Analytical solutions to the spatially variable coefficient advection and advection-diffusion equations, written in conservative and nonconservative forms, are presented. The analytical solutions are simple to evaluate and can be used to validate models for solving the advection and advection-diffusion equations with spatially variable coefficients. The analytical solutions show that nonconservative forms of the equations can yield exact solutions that are not consistent with the physical problem.

T1  - Library of Congress workplace ergonomics program
AN  - 15906855; 4036623
AB  - This article discusses the implementation of an ergonomics program for controlling the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and improving worker comfort and efficiency at the Library of Congress. Library work entails extensive handling of books and boxes, use of computer workstations, and typical office and maintenance work. Between 1991 and 1994 ergonomic training was provided to approximately 1400 office workers in two departments. During 1991, 12 cases of work-related musculoskeletal disorders of gradual-onset were reported. Total compensation cost for that year was $858,363. In 1992 it was decided to develop a formal ergonomics program, which entailed a commitment by upper management, establishment of a coordinating committee, and development by the committee of a written plan that included health and risk factor surveillance, interventions, and training. The committee received 18 hours of training and conducted pilot job analyses and interventions. Key features of the program included goal statements, organization commitments, and specification of program tasks. Due to budget constraints, staff participation was voluntary. Consultants provided training for committee members and engineering analysis to support job analysis and design. In 1994 and 1995 the Library spent nearly $108,000 on training and consulting services and $510,000 on ergonomics interventions, while approximately $1,970,000 was spent on workers' compensation claims. Interventions included materials-handling devices, furniture, floor mats, lamps, glare screens, seating, copy holders, CPU stands, monitor pedestals, and shelving. Employees have been cooperative and demonstrated reasonable expectations and respect for management's attempt to improve their jobs. Data are not yet available to evaluate the effect of the program on workers' compensation costs.

T1  - Induction and termination of winter diapause in a Californian strain of the cabbage maggot (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)
AN  - 15902186; 4038295
AB  - Populations of the cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), occur in the field during all seasons in coastal northern California because the climate is mild, hosts are available, and a percentage of the population does not enter diapause. Laboratory experiments on this population of the cabbage maggot showed the following 6 results: (1) criteria for diapause vary with the conditions that induce diapause, (2) the proportion of larvae entering diapause is highest at low temperatures across all photoperiods and at short photoperiods across all temperatures, (3) developmental times of larvae producing diapause pupae were longer than for those producing nondiapause pupae, (4) rearing larvae at high temperatures and short photoperiods increased the diapause period for the pupal stage, (5) average pupal weights of diapause pupae (20.20 plus or minus 2.27 mg) (mean plus or minus SD) were higher than for nondiapause pupae (18.01 plus or minus 3.31), and (6) fresh pupae weighing <15.5 mg did not complete diapause. The results support previous findings that field populations of D. radicum are induced into winter diapause mainly by short photoperiods, whereas temperature has a lesser effect.

T1  - In situ characterization of inflammatory responses in the rectal mucosae of patients with shigellosis
AN  - 15862468; 4021468
AB  - Shigella species cause bacillary dysentery in humans by invading epithelial cells of the colonic mucosa leading to colonic epithelial cell destruction and inflammation. For further analysis of local gut inflammation, morphological changes and the potential involvement of mediators in regulatory mechanisms of cell activation and cell proliferation were studied immunohistochemically in rectal mucosal biopsies taken from patients during the acute phase of shigellosis and at convalescence. Rectal biopsies from 25 Shigella dysenteriae-1 and 10 Shigella flexneri-infected patients and from 40 controls were studied. The frequencies of proliferative cells (Ki67-positive cells), p53-immunostaining cells, and cells coexpressing Ki67 with CD3 or with p53 were analyzed. Immunostaining for the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the endothelial NOS was assessed. In addition, the frequencies of apoptotic cells and CD68 super(+) cells that engulf apoptotic cells were assessed. By morphological grading, 20% of the patients had advanced inflammation (grade 3) in the acute phase; mild inflammation (grade 1) was seen in 37% of the patients at convalescence as well as in 10% of the controls. The findings in the present study suggest that in the acute phase of shigellosis inflammation is characterized by increased cell turnover in the lamina propria (LP) and the epithelium, increased iNOS expression in the surface epithelium, and apoptosis, which seems to be associated with LP macrophages. The findings also suggest that neither p53 nor iNOS are important factors for the induction of apoptosis in shigellosis. Expression of p53 may be related to early cell activation in crypt epithelium. Moreover, there is an indication of an active, low-level inflammatory process at convalescence. The results thus indicate that Shigella-induced inflammation is associated with a complex series of cellular reactions in the rectal gut mucosa which persist long clinical symptoms have resolved.

T1  - The effect of the bacterial product, succinic acid, on neutrophil bactericidal activity
AN  - 15848246; 4016894
AB  - We investigated the effect of succinic acid on neutrophil bactericidal activity in a model of intra-abdominal abscess induced in mice by the peritoneal inoculation of 5 x 106 cfuml-1 E. coli and 5 x 108 cfuml-1 B. fragilis plus 1 mg of bran as faecal fibre analogue. The mean pH of the induced abscesses at week 1 was 6.7, higher than the pH associated with succinic acid inhibitory activity. We therefore determined the effect of succinic acid (0-100 mM) at pH 6.7 on the bactericidal activity of mouse bone marrow-derived neutrophils. Phagocytic killing of Proteus mirabilis by neutrophils was significantly inhibited by 30-100 mM succinic acid at pH 6.7 but there was no significant effect of succinic acid on engulfment of bacteria at this pH. However, significant inhibition of intracellular killing (assayed by adding succinic acid to suspensions of neutrophils which had engulfed bacteria in low serum concentrations but in the absence of succinic acid) was noted at 70 and 100 mM. These results indicate that succinic acid inhibits neutrophil bactericidal activity at a physiological pH, principally through inhibition of intracellular killing mechanisms and therefore contributing to bacterial persistence in this model of abscess formation.

T1  - Bioavailability of Soil-Adsorbed Cadmium in Orally Exposed Male Rats
AN  - 14446114; 10533854
AB  - Cadmium-contaminated soil and a Cd solution were administered orally to male Lewis rats, and the effect of the soil matrix on the bioavailability of Cd was determined by calculating the area under the plasma concentration time curve. The mean of the whole-blood Cd concentration values for the Cd-soil group was significantly lower than that of the Cd-saline group. Adsorption from the gastrointestinal tract was relatively rapid in both groups, but the presence of soil induced a small delay in the time needed to reach peak concentrations. Soil adsorption decreased the bioavailability of Cd by 43% compared to Cd in solution. The Cd concentrations in the kidney, heart, and brain tissue were significantly increased in the Cd-solution group compared to the Cd-soil group.

T1  - Air Pollution and Emergency Room Visits for Asthma in Santa Clara County, California
AN  - 14446084; 10533852
AB  - During the winters of 198889 through 199192 in Santa Clara County, CA, the relationship between hospital emergency-room visits for asthma and ambient air-pollutant concentrations was examined. Data were compiled on PM sub(10), ozone, and nitrogen dioxide concentrations. Consistent relationships were found between emergency-room visits for asthma and PM sub(10) concentrations. In addition, same-day NO sub(2) concentrations were related to emergency-room visits, but O sub(3) was not related. The relative risks for PM sub(10)-associated emergency-room visits for asthma were found to be temperature-related, with more emergency-room visits during colder temperatures, which suggested adverse asthma impacts due to smoke from residential wood combustion.

T1  - Accumulated Body Burden and Endogenous Release of Lead in Employees of a Lead Smelter
AN  - 14445877; 10533853
AB  - Following a ten-month strike at a lead smelter in New Brunswick, Canada, blood and bone lead levels were measured in returning workers to examine the accumulated body burden and endogenous Pb release. The bones examined were the tibia and calcaneus. The study protocol is described. The resulting data indicated a strong correlation between calcaneus Pb levels and those for tibia Pb. The relationship between the bone Pb concentration and the cumulative blood Pb index, which approximated the level of Pb exposure over time, was distinctly nonlinear. However, when the study population was segregated according to time of employment, a significant difference in the bone Pbcumulative blood Pb index slope was observed. The results suggested that the transfer of Pb from blood to bone changed over time, possibly due to varying exposure conditions.

T1  - Indoor Risk Factors for Asthma and Wheezing Among Seattle School Children
AN  - 14443949; 10533851
AB  - The International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Childhood protocol was used to examine the impact of the indoor environment on the risk of asthma and undiagnosed asthma-like illness among US school children. The risk of physician-diagnosed asthma and wheezing during the past 12 months without previously diagnosed asthma was related to parent-reported household exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, stove or fireplace use, and dampness. The study was based on 925 subjects in Seattle, WA. After the health-status groups were adjusted for age, sex, gender, ethnicity, medical history, socioeconomic status, and parental asthma status, highest risk of asthma and wheezing was attributed to household dampness, the presence of tobacco smokers in the home, and occasional exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Of the four household dampness components measured, only reported household water damage was a consistent risk factor for both diagnosed asthma and current wheezing.

T1  - Maternal Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
AN  - 14443065; 10533850
AB  - At Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA, the association between maternal and fetal nicotine exposure, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn was examined using cotinine as a biomarker of exposure. All study infants required mechanical ventilation. The results were compared to a reference group composed of 49 healthy infants. The data showed that cotinine was more likely to be found in the blood of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension than in that of control infants, and the cotinine concentrations were significantly higher in the former group. The results indicated that both passive and active smoking during pregnancy were risk factors for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

T1  - Dendritic epidermal T-cell involvement in induction of CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity against an ultraviolet radiation-induced skin tumor.
AN  - 78791086; 8985097
AB  - Murine epidermis contains 2 distinct cell populations which contribute to the skin immune system, Langerhans cells (LC), and dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC). LCs are important in the induction of immunity against a wide range of antigens; however, the function of DETC is unclear. To investigate the roles of these epidermal cells (EC) in protective antitumor immunity, an in vivo model of an ultraviolet radiation-induced fibrosarcoma, UV-13-1, was used. Mice were immunized with tumor antigen-pulsed EC followed 10 days later by an injection into the ear of 10(5) tumor cells, which did not lead to formation of a detectable tumor, but was intended to simulate the influence of a developing tumor on the ensuing immune response. The mice were then challenged with 2 x 10(6) viable tumor cells in each flank, sufficient to result in growth of a measurable tumor. Protective immunity was induced by DETC, and shown to be long-lasting, with tumors inoculated 160 days after immunization being effectively rejected. The effector cells responsible for protective immunity were CD8+ T cells. Delayed-type hypersensitivity generated by tumor antigen-pulsed EC was dependent on LCs, with no involvement of DETCs. This response, in contrast to that of DETC, required prior culture of EC with GM-CSF, but failed to inhibit tumor growth or incidence. Thus DETC and LC can both activate antitumor immune responses, although only the DETC-dependent response results in protective immunity in the presence of a developing tumor.

T1  - TRIGEMINAL CHEMORECEPTION
AN  - 85281668; cs-268655
AB  - The long-term goal of this project is to provide an integrated psychophysical description of the human ability to sense chemical irritants via she trigeminal nerve. Guided by the view that the sensitivity to irritants derives from elements of the nociceptive and thermal senses present in all types of skin, the proposed research will investigate the extent to which this common neural basis influences chemosensory perception throughout the trigeminal system. This objective will be pursued by (1) measuring the sensitivity to irritants across the full diversity of trigeminal regions--the oral cavity, nasal cavity, face and eyes--on a large number of subjects, and inferring from those data the-contributions of local and systemic factors to individual differences; (2) measuring individual differences in sensitization and desensitization produced by two different irritants on two kinds of skin, thus determining whether these phenomena vary locally or systemically; (3) providing the first quantitative investigation of long-term capsaicin desensitization in the trigeminal region and determining if menthol, which was recently found to produce short-term desensitization, has similar long-term hyperalgesic effects; and (4) investigating the role of counterirritation, a form of masking intrinsic to the nociceptive system, on the perception of multiple and/or spatially complex irritant stimuli within the trigeminal field. As well as providing new information about trigeminal chemoreception and the extent to which it may be influenced by systemic (nociceptive) factors, the proposed research will employ a battery of new psychophysical procedures that could prove useful for assessing the incidence, and nature of apparent hypersensitivity syndromes such as contact dermatitis and multiple chemical sensitivities. In addition, studies of long-term desensitization and counterirritation will provide basic information about how these two phenomena may impact on applied issues ranging from the perception and liking of hot and spicy foods to the use of chemical irritants as topical analgesics.

T1  - Pursuing Excellence: Eighth-Grade Findings from the Third International Math and Science Study. A Video Presentation. [Videotape].
AN  - 62627057; ED410100
AB  - Highlighting the findings from an assessment of the math and science performance of over 500,000 students in 41 countries at three different grade levels, the Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) is the world's most comprehensive and reliable study of international education achievement ever undertaken. This 13.5-minute video summarizes the study's key findings at the eighth-grade level and contains the views of business leaders, policymakers, educators, and researchers on the study's implications for America's schools. The video summarizes the findings of the TIMSS study with regard to four topics: (1) curriculum and learning expectations; (2) teaching; (3) teachers' lives; and (4) students' lives. Findings indicate that curricula in U.S. schools cover less challenging subjects and are less focused than curricula in Germany and Japan; U.S. math teachers' typical goal is to teach students how to do something rather than helping them understand mathematical concepts; while U.S. teachers typically have more college education than teachers in Germany or Japan, they have less long-term, structured apprenticeships and less opportunity to discuss teaching-related issues with colleagues; and while the U.S. divides eighth-grade students into classes of varying difficulty, Germany divides students into different schools, and Japan makes no division.

T1  - Public and Private School Principals in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94.
AN  - 62625288; ED408694
AB  - Principals play a primary role in the school-reform process, acting as both the agents of change and targets of change. This National Center for Education Statistic's (NCES) Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) provides descriptive information about the changing nature of the individuals who serve as principals in public and private schools, including their perceptions and the challenges they face. The report uses data from the 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1993-94 administrations of SASS to examine the principalship in the reform environment of the late 1980s and early 1990s. For each of those years, approximately 80,000 principals served in the nation's public schools and approximately 25,000 served in private schools. The report provides information on job demographics; principals' salaries and benefits; their education and their experience; their perceptions of serious problems; and their goals, influence, and career plans. An index, 13 figures, and 5 tables are included. Appendices contain tables of estimates and standard errors, technical notes, and SASS data products. (Contains 36 references.) (LMI)

T1  - The National Education Goals Report: Building a Nation of Learners, 1997.
AN  - 62612520; ED410319
AB  - This report, seventh in a series, is designed to measure progress made by the nation toward the eight National Education Goals. This year's "Goals Report" highlights student achievement in mathematics and science, two of the core academic subjects in which all students are expected to demonstrate competence. The promising news is that more students in grades 4, 8, and 12 were considered proficient or competent in mathematics than students were 6 years ago, and more students are receiving degrees in mathematics or science. The first chapter discusses "Mathematics and Science Achievement for the 21st Century." Chapter 2 discusses achievement at the national level and presents exhibits that portray progress toward each of the eight national education goals. Chapter 3 considers achievement at the state level, with a page for each state. Overall, it appears that national progress on the 26 core indicators is slightly better than that described in the 1996 "Goals Report," with significant improvement in 6 areas. Significant improvements have also been seen in many areas at the state level. Gratifying as improvements are, the National Education Goals Panel recognizes that much remains to be done. To this end, the Panel recommends setting tougher standards, aligning all components of the education system with these standards, and strengthening the subject matter knowledge and teaching skills of teachers. Four appendixes present data collection schedules, technical sources for national and state indicators, and acknowledgments. (Contains 26 exhibits and 7 tables.) (SLD)

AN  - 62611920; ED403781
AB  - Results of the National Center for Education Statistics' 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) concerning identification of and services to limited-English-proficient (LEP) students are reported in narrative and tabular forms. The survey is the largest and most comprehensive data set available about schools in the United States. Highlights of findings include these: over 2.1 million public school students are identified as LEP, and they account for five percent of all students and 31 percent of all American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic students; LEP students are concentrated in the West, urban areas, and large schools; schools can use a variety of methods for identifying LEP students, most frequently using teacher observation, referral, home language survey, and previous student record; 76 percent of school with LEP enrollments provide English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) programs and 36 percent have bilingual education programs, with about one-third of schools with LEP enrollments provide both ESL and bilingual education, and 71 percent of LEP students attend these schools; 3 percent of LEP students attend schools with neither program; 42 percent of all public school teachers have at least one LEP student; 30 percent of teachers instructing LEP students have training for it, but few have a related degree.

T1  - Children's Privacy Protection and Parental Empowerment Act of 1996. Hearing on H.R. 3508 before the Subcommittee on Crime of the Committee on the Judiciary. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session. (September 12, 1996).
AN  - 62606827; ED405130
AB  - This hearing examined issues related to H.R. 3508, the Children's Privacy Protection and Parental Empowerment Act of 1996, which prohibits the sale of personal information about children without parents' written consent, and the use of prisoner labor to process personal information about children. The Act also establishes a criminal penalty for exchanging information about a child while knowing or having reason to believe that the information will be used to harm the child. Witnesses included representatives from the direct mail industry and professional organizations, a public policy research group, a child protection organization, and a university; Marc Klass, father of murder victim Polly Klass; New Jersey Representative Bob Franks; and a law enforcement officer. Proponents of the legislation contended that self-regulation has not succeeded in establishing adequate privacy safeguards. Commercial list companies are compiling an elaborate data base on every American child; these data are available for purchase by any interested party and over the Internet. Such availability invades children's privacy and creates a potentially dangerous situation for them because such information is available to pedophiles, and especially because prison labor is often used to process consumer surveys into list data. Opponents to the proposed legislation questioned that commercial mailing lists could be used by pedophiles to locate victims and contended that the legislation would restrict university identification of potential students, limit distribution of educational materials such as children's books, and would interfere with military recruitment. Appendices contain additional statements, letters, or materials submitted. (KDFB)

T1  - The National Drug Control Strategy, 1997.
AN  - 62606565; ED406311
AB  - This federal document offers a comprehensive approach to reduce demand for illegal drugs and decrease their availability. Supported by statistical tables and graphs, the summary is divided into six sections. "The Purpose and Nature of the Strategy" outlines a 10-year plan for drug interdiction and reduction and identifies the elements of that plan. "America's Drug Abuse Profile" offers an overview of the problem with a graphic and statistical analysis of the pertinent information. "Strategic Goals and Objectives" outlines five goals of the drug strategy and supports them with immediate objectives. The five goals are: (1) educate and enable America's youth to reject illegal drugs as well as alcohol and tobacco; (2) increase the safety of America's citizens by substantially reducing drug-related crime and violence; (3) reduce health and social costs to the public of illegal drug use; (4) shield America's air, land, and sea frontiers from the drug threat; and (5) break foreign and domestic drug sources of supply. "A Comprehensive Approach" broadens the initiative to include educational, law enforcement and community programs across the country. "Resources to Implement the Strategy" provides a statistical and graphical analysis of the funding allocated for the effort. The final section, "Consultation," indicates that the lines of communication will remain open among the government, its citizens, and their allies in the drug war. (MJP)

T1  - Teacher Professionalization and Teacher Commitment: A Multilevel Analysis. Statistical Analysis Report.
AN  - 62600079; ED406349
AB  - This report explores the effects of teacher professionalization on elementary and secondary teachers in the United States. The analysis examines the relationships between a set of characteristics traditionally associated with professions and professionals and teachers' commitment to their teaching careers. The report focuses on the following professional characteristics: (1) credentials--use of professional criteria for hiring teaching job candidates; (2) induction--provision of mentoring programs for beginning teachers and the effectiveness of assistance provided to new teachers; (3) professional development--extent of participation in activities sponsored by professional teaching organizations, and financial support; (4) authority--faculty influence over school policymaking and the degree of teachers' individual autonomy within their classrooms; and (5) compensation--the highest salary levels offered by schools. The data source was the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). Data analysis revealed that four characteristics in particular were associated with commitment: teacher classroom autonomy, faculty policymaking influence, effectiveness of assistance for new teachers, and teachers' maximum end-of-career salaries. In contrast, several traditional indicators of teacher professionalization were not associated with higher teacher commitment: use of professional criteria for hiring teaching job candidates, financial support for teachers' continuing education, and participation in activities sponsored by professional teaching organizations. The appendix lists additional resources on SASS. (Contains approximately 50 references.) (ND)

T1  - Reading Framework for the National Assessment of Educational Progress: 1992-1998. NAEP Reading Consensus Project.
AN  - 62599870; ED406651
AB  - This booklet presents the Reading Framework for the 1992, 1994, and 1998 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Developed through a national consensus process as part of an effort to move assessment forward, the framework presented in the booklet is more consistent with contemporary knowledge about reading and more relevant to the needs of education decisionmakers than earlier assessments have been. After an overview and introduction, the first chapter of the booklet discusses the development of the Reading Framework. The second chapter discusses the design of the Reading Framework, including: a goal for reading literacy education, constructing, extending, and examining meaning; and constructing the assessment. The third chapter addresses special studies (on oral reading, portfolios, and metacognition) and background information. Contains 10 references. Appendixes list members of the Steering and Planning committees, and present 9 sample items. (RS)

T1  - Leading Head Start Into the Future. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62526263; ED419581
AB  - A commitment to enhancing and developing leadership skills contributes to positioning Head Start as a central community institution for low-income children and their families. This guide, comprised of three training modules, is intended to help Head Start leaders refine and expand their skills and knowledge through a variety of training activities. Module 1, "Understanding Leadership," helps participants understand the meaning of effective Head Start leadership, allows them to explore how personal and organizational values are related to effective leadership, and introduces the MOVER model of the leadership behaviors of mentoring, engaging in outreach, committing to a shared vision, empowering others, and acting as a role model. Module 2, "Influencing Organizational Culture," focuses on techniques that extend leadership behaviors throughout the organization and demonstrates the impact of these behaviors on the organizational culture. Module 3, "Positioning Head Start for the Future," encourages participants to recognize the role that the program plays in the community, helps them to develop skills and behaviors for building or strengthening partnerships, and allows participants to enhance their abilities to envision the future and to communicate their visions within the context of the MOVER behaviors. Each module includes outcomes that are based on the guide outcomes, key concepts, and background information. The leadership journal and professional development plan are intended to help participants reflect on their experiences and develop leadership action plans. The final section of the guide is an annotated list of 50 print, organizational, and electronic resources. (Author/KB)

T1  - Participating in the Management Process. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62526206; ED419582
AB  - Sound management principles can help ensure that early childhood programs provide sound services to children and families. This document contains three training modules detailing fundamental management concepts to help Head Start staff and parents provide quality services. Module 1, "What is Management?" helps participants recognize how they use basic management functions in their personal lives and in interactions with Head Start staff, parents, and children, and includes activities to assess management skills. Module 2, "Everyone Plays a Role," links the concept of shared values with the process of teamwork and a comprehensive team approach to service delivery to allow participants to identify their own values and determine their roles in achieving the program's mission. Module 3, "Quality Is a Priority," helps participants understand the importance of quality and demonstrates how quality depends on shared Head Start values and the team process. Each module includes outcomes, key concepts, and background information that support the learning outcomes. Also, each module contains an opening activity related to the preface scenario so participants can apply key concepts to Head Start. The modules can be used sequentially, and the trainer can select and customize topics to match program needs. Various training formats are used: workshop activities, coaching activities, individualized follow-up activities related to each module, and continuing professional development activities. The final section of the guide is an annotated list of 41 print, organizational, and electronic resources. (Author/KB)

T1  - Social Marketing Strategies for Campus Prevention of Alcohol and Other Drug Problems.
AN  - 62523688; ED415786
AB  - This document sets out one segment of a comprehensive approach intended to assist institutions of higher education in developing and carrying out alcohol abuse and other drug prevention programs. Social marketing is described as a tool of environmental management, that seeks to produce a specified behavior in a target audience. Intended for a broad campus audience, the brochure examines the development of social marketing and uses 10 campus examples to illustrate ways to popularize positive ideas and attitudes, and encourage favorable changes in social values and individual behavior. Commercial marketing principles, summed up as the four Ps: product, price, place, and promotion, are translated into equivalent elements for use in a social marketing campaign. The report emphasizes the importance of appropriate research and evaluation and recommends that research be focused on four areas: (1) the problem the campaign will address; (2) the audience; (3) the messages; and (4) the communication channels to be used. Since data gathered before a campaign are essential for measuring its impact afterward, it is suggested that the requirements for an evaluation be considered during the planning stage. Appended are a list of resources and estimated costs of a social marketing program. (Contains 11 endnotes.) (BF)

AN  - 62519721; ED415394
AB  - This document reports the oral and written testimony submitted at a Congressional hearing on ways in which the government, business, and industry are working to improve the competitiveness of the U.S. work force through education and training initiatives. Witnesses included the following: U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich; U.S. Department of Education Assistant Secretary David Longanecker; Thomas Bailey, Columbia University Institute on Education and the Economy; Howard Rosen, Competitiveness Policy Council; Howard Samuel, Council on Competitiveness; Stanley Litow, IBM Foundation; Roberts Jones, National Alliance of Business; Leo Reddy, National Coalition for Advanced Manufacturing; and Sanford Weill, Travelers Group, New York.

T1  - Digest of Education Statistics, 1997.
AN  - 62517942; ED411612
AB  - This 1997 edition of the "Digest of Education Statistics" is the 32nd in a series of publications initiated in 1962. Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from kindergarten through graduate school. The digest includes data from many government and private sources, and draws especially on the results of surveys and activities carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The publication contains information on a variety of topics, including the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, graduates, educational attainment, finances, federal funds for education, employment and income of graduates, libraries, and international education. Supplemental information is provided on population trends, attitudes on education comparisons, education characteristics of the labor force, government finances, and economic trends. The digest is divided into seven chapters: "All Levels of Education,""Elementary and Secondary Education,""Postsecondary Education,""Federal Programs for Education and Related Activities,""Outcomes of Education,""International Comparisons of Education," and "Learning Resources and Technology." The introduction includes a brief overview of current trends in American education. The data show that in the fall of 1997, about 75 million people were involved, directly or indirectly, in providing or receiving formal education. Assessment data indicate that there have been improvements in mathematics and science performance between 1986 and 1996. A higher proportion of high school graduates are going on to college. Yet, wide variations in student proficiency from state to state and mediocre mathematics scores of American students in international assessments pose challenges. The appendix contains a guide to tabular presentation, a guide to sources, definitions, 12 tables, and an index. Thirty-three figures and 422 tables comprise the bulk of the document. (AA)

T1  - Planning for Transitions. Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62510271; ED419583
AB  - Successful early childhood program transitions involve the coordination and continuation of developmental and comprehensive services from birth through age eight. This guide is designed to facilitate the successful transition of children and their families into and out of Early Head Start and Head Start programs and assists in planning for daily transitions to home or child care settings. Section 1 of the guide, "Skill-Based Training," contains four Head Start staff training modules that liken transition planning to traveling on a railroad system. Module 1, "Getting on Track with Transition Planning," provides a framework for effective planning, with activities to set goals based on assessments of current practices, identify key partners, and create a team. Module 2, "Bringing Families on Board for Planning," allows staff to work as a team to improve outcomes for transitioning children and families, with activities to facilitate obtaining and sharing information to develop individualized transition plans. Module 3, "Making Connections with Other Programs," involves assessing and strengthening the relationships among sending and receiving programs. Module 4, "Accessing Services through Community Linkages," encourages staff and parents to identify services gaps, with activities to create an interagency planning team and develop strategies for gaining and sustaining the support of staff and parents. Each module contains workshop and coaching activities, outcomes, key concepts, background information, preparation notes, ideas for applying skills and resources, and handouts. Section 2 of the guide, "Informational Resources," includes summaries on transition planning, comprehensive services, and effective transition practices; program profiles describing promising practices; tools to help in organizing planning; and an annotated list of 24 resources.

T1  - The National Education Goals Report: Building a Nation of Learners, 1998.
AN  - 62505929; ED421553
AB  - This report, eighth in a series, is designed to measure progress made by the nation toward the eight National Education Goals. A statement of the eight National Education Goals is followed by an Introduction which explains the indicators by which progress toward the Goals is measured. The Introduction also summarizes national and state findings for areas of improvement and areas of decline, and highest-performing and most-improved states for each of the Goals. The next two sections, "National Progress" and "State Progress", comprise the bulk of the report, and present data for the 26 national and 33 state-level indicators. Although important progress has been made overall towards three of the Goals ("Ready To Learn,""Student Achievement and Citizenship," and "Mathematics and Science"), inconsistent performance and even slippage has occurred for other Goals; therefore, the National Education Goals Panel urges educators and policymakers to study the practices of top-performing states that the Panel documents and disseminates in various of its other publications. Three appendices present technical notes and sources for national and state indicators, and acknowledgments. (LMD)

T1  - Hearing on H.R. 6, The Higher Education Amendments of 1998. Hearing before the Committee on Education and the Workforce. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session (York, PA, January 28, 1997).
AN  - 62504955; ED415762
AB  - These hearings were concerned with the authorization of the Higher Education Act 1998 amendments. The hearing focused on affordability of postsecondary education, simplifying the student financial aid system, and academic quality for students. The document reports testimony of representatives of professional associations and Pennsylvania postsecondary institutions. Some of the views expressed included: the need to simplify the application process and eligibility for Title IV student financial aid programs; the need to continue equal access to Title IV funds for private career schools; the Pell Grant Program as the primary source of financial assistance for community college students; the confusion and wasted time caused by frequent regulatory changes and excessive communications to colleges by the Department of Education; the desirability of reviewing the current needs analysis system to determine whether all relevant data are being used to calculate the expected family contribution; campus-based aid programs (College Work-Study, Perkins Loans, and Student Educational Opportunity Grants) that are crucial for students who wish to attend independent colleges; and the various performance outcome measures that should be used in addition to loan default rates to ensure the educational quality and accountability of colleges.

T1  - Children's Protection from Violent Programming Act. Report of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on S. 363. Senate, 105th Congress, 1st Session, Calendar No. 182.
AN  - 62502776; ED414052
AB  - Senate Bill 363 is designed to protect American children from the harm caused by viewing violence on television. The bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require that violent video programming be limited to broadcast after the hours when children are reasonably likely to comprise a substantial portion of the audience, unless it is specifically rated on the basis of its violent content so that it is blockable by electronic means specifically on the basis of that content. This report on the Bill provides background information on television violence and details the legislation. Section 1 of the report addresses background and needs for such legislation. Section 2 describes the historical Congressional concern over the amount of violence on television. Section 3 summarizes research on television violence and violent behavior, while section 4 addresses the growth of television violence. Section 5 presents anecdotal evidence of the effect of television violence. Section 6 provides a summary of the response by the television community, including: (1) public service announcement; (2) common television code; (3) warning labels; and (4) industry-proposed ratings system. Section 7 provides response to the industry's proposed ratings system. Section 8 provides summary information on actions taken in other countries. Section 9 discusses the issues of constitutional analysis. The final sections describe the legislative history of this bill. (Author/SD)

T1  - Employers, Families and Education.
AN  - 62502698; ED414087
AB  - Family involvement in education is good for business, critical to children's school achievement, and important in creating strong and vibrant communities. This report discusses the role of businesses and employers in helping partners and family members be more involved in children's learning. Throughout the report, programs at specific companies are highlighted. The introduction, "Better Education Is Everybody's Business," notes that President Clinton's "Call to Action for American Education in the 21st Century" provides a focus for needed changes in education, while encouraging local initiative and business involvement. The next chapter, "Business' Bottom Line," discusses how employers can support employees who need to balance the demands of work and home and the research indicating that parents have a powerful influence on students. The third chapter, "Integration of Work, Family and Education," discusses company policies that support family and employee involvement in education, including flextime, part-time work options, telecommuting, and time off for school activities. This chapter also discusses how companies support families through worksite and offsite programs, including child care programs, employer-sponsored seminars, parenting and training programs, family support and information groups, resource and referral services, newsletters and Web sites, and literacy training for adults. The fourth chapter, "Community Based Efforts," notes that employers are providing resources, funding special school projects, establishing volunteer/mentor programs at many schools, and initiating public awareness campaigns about the importance of education and parent involvement. The report concludes with a discussion of the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education, an initiative to promote children's learning through the development of family-school-community partnerships. A Statement of Commitment is included, which employers can fill out and mail to the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education. Contains 14 references and a resource list of organizations, programs, and companies. (LPP)

T1  - Implementing the Abstinence Education Provision of the Welfare Reform Legislation.
AN  - 62499272; ED413323
AB  - As part of its 1996 welfare reform bill, the U.S. Congress enacted a $50 million per year program to fund abstinence education. The welfare reform law addresses the problem of births to single adolescents by enforcing child support payments, giving states financial incentives to reduce nonmarital births, and creating the abstinence education grant. The grant, administered under the Federal Maternal and Child Health program, mandates that programs give teens one unambiguous message: sex outside marriage is wrong and harmful to health. Every program funded by the provision must teach: (1) abstinence as the only certain way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases and as the expected standard for students; (2) monogamous married relationships as the expected standard of human sexual activity; (3) self-sufficiency as essential before engaging in sexual activity; and (4) the ability to reject sexual advances and understand the dangers of alcohol and drugs. States may have flexibility in deciding how to administer the program, though they are obligated to be aggressive in creating programs. Regardless of how states distribute the abstinence education money, the funds can only be spent on activities meeting the definition of abstinence education within the Federal statute. Two appendixes provide: Provisions to Combat Rising Out-of-Wedlock Birth Rates, Welfare Reform Conference Report on H.R. 3734; and Legislative Language and Report Language for Abstinence Education Provision.

T1  - Achieving the Goals: Goal 8--Parental Involvement and Participation.
AN  - 62497681; ED416023
AB  - In 1994, the U.S. Congress added parental involvement to the National Education Goals. Goal 8 states that by the years 2000, every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. The fourth in a series that seeks to inform educators and the public of the possibilities for programs and funding that exist outside the Department of Education, this book provides a compendium of educational programs across the federal government, providing a useful tool for seeking funding for activities related to achieving this National Education Goal. Following the introduction, the book provides detailed information about the various parental involvement activities of the Department of Education and the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education. The remainder of the book, which lists specific federal programs that might support parent involvement, is organized by education topics. Topics include at-risk students, bilingual education, drug abuse prevention, gifted and talented, special education, housing, safety, and recreation. The book concludes with a list of useful publications for parents from several federal resources. The appendices list state and local points of contact for various activities. (HTH)

T1  - From Thibodaux to Tucumcari: Family Literacy in Rural Libraries. A Report from the Viburnum Family Literacy Project.
AN  - 62442131; ED426701
AB  - The Viburnum Foundation, a family foundation based in New York, is currently in the fifth year of giving grants to rural library-sponsored family literacy programs in Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The libraries involved in the Viburnum Family Literacy Project are in areas with high levels of poverty and illiteracy. The programming, which usually takes place at a library, a Head Start Center, or a school, may include parenting classes for adults, adult literacy and English as a Second Language instruction in classrooms and by tutors, storytelling and reading aloud to children exclusively or for all generations, and bilingual programming for adults and children. This report discusses what makes library-based family literacy programs work, and how policymakers, grantmakers, and community leaders can collaborate to promote family literacy in rural areas. Following an introduction, the body of the report is divided into six main sections in terms of the following topics and subtopics: 1) the rural library as a site for family learning and the rural community as a site for social change; 2) program staff and participants; 3) partnerships; 4) programs (planning, budgeting and spending, program design, content and activities, impacts); 5) grantmaking issues; and 6) critical areas of change. A concluding chapter reiterates the reasons why libraries and literacy programs are critical to the health of society, and outlines difficult challenges to be faced in the near future. Appendices present a Viburnum Foundation project history and list of Viburnum sites. (AEF)

T1  - Sustaining a Healthy Environment: Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community.
AN  - 62437674; ED422061
AB  - Exploring and working with environmental issues can be exciting and enriching for Head Start staff. The goal of the technical guide is to broaden Head Start staff members' understanding of the natural environment so they can better incorporate environmental enrichment and environmental protection into their programs. The guide is organized into five sections, beginning with three training modules. Module 1, "Caring for Our Children, Caring for Our Earth," examines the Head Start program's overall goals in its work with children and families. This module explores ways that environmental concepts and environmental education can strengthen these services. Module 2, "Environmental Risks and Hazards," addresses staff members' ability to identify, understand, and alleviate environmental hazards, especially those relevant to their programs. Module 3, "Building Communities Which Consider the Seventh Generation," deals with community development and the big picture of environmental health now and in the future. This module encourages Head Start staff to consider practices and policies in this light. Each of the modules provides learning opportunities for workshop sessions and coaching and is organized into the following sections: (1) outcomes; (2) key concepts; (3) background information; (4) discussion/reflection questions; (5) learning activities; (6) points to consider, issues for discussion prompts; (7) additional activities to reinforce the expected outcomes and transfer skills to the work setting; and (8) handouts. Following the training modules, the guide includes a section on continuing professional development presents suggestions for further increasing knowledge and skills. A section on environmental education resources completes the guide. (KB)

T1  - Antitrust Implications of the College Bowl Alliance. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Business Rights, and Competition of the Committee on the Judiciary To Examine Antitrust and Competitive Issues within the College Football Bowl Alliance, Which Consists of the Southeastern Athletic Conference, the Big 12, the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the Big East, as Well as the University of Notre Dame (May 22, 1997). United States Senate, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First Session.
AN  - 62233087; ED461320
AB  - This hearing report concerns possible antitrust and anticompetitive violations by the College Bowl Alliance consisting of the Southeastern Athletic Conference (SEC), the Big 12, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and the Big East, as well as Notre Dame University; and after 1998 will include PAC-10, Big 10, and the Rose Bowl. An agreement was made between the College Alliance and three Bowls: Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl. Under the terms of the agreement, each year a different Alliance bowl is allowed to choose first from among the pool of Alliance conference champions and at-large teams. The stated purpose of this arrangement is to provide a No. 1 versus No. 2 championship match-up every year in a different bowl game. Excluded non-Alliance teams have raised issues involving the selection methods, the consequent disparity in television revenues, and related effects such as the inability to recruit top athletes by non-Alliance teams. Witnesses were grouped into two panels each consisting of individuals for or against the Alliance. Testifying against the Alliance included Senators Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), Robert Bennett (Utah), Craig Thomas (Wyoming), and Michael Enzi (Wyoming); as well as Karl Benson, commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference, and Ron Cooper, former head football coach, University of Louisville, Kentucky. Those testifying in favor of the College Bowl Alliance include Wally Richardson, a graduate of Penn State University, Roy F. Kramer, commissioner of the SEC, James E. Delaney, commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, and Cedric W. Dempsey, executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). An appendix includes the transcript of a question-and-answer session between committee members and various witnesses. (BF)

T1  - 90074; nuclear weapons production complex; environmental compliance and waste management
AN  - 52526277; 1999-000165
AB  - The aging nuclear weapons production complex, managed by the Department of Energy (DOE), faces enormous environmental and waste management problems. Several hundred billion dollars may be needed to clean up leaking waste pits, groundwater contamination, growing accumulations of radioactive - waste, and uncontrolled liquid discharges at DOE facilities. DOE's cleanup program is carried out by the Office of Environmental Management (EM). Cleanup funding escalated rapidly after the end of the Cold War, although it has plateaued at about $6 billion per year under the Clinton Administration. Congress has expressed growing concern about the rising costs of DOE's cleanup program. A major cost driver has been environmental regulations and cleanup schedules that the Department is required to meet, although DOE also has been accused of poorly managing many projects and allowing costs to escalate unnecessarily. DOE's environmental program consists of a variety of major activities, including environmental restoration, waste management, development of new cleanup technology, and stabilization of surplus nuclear material and facilities. Environmental restoration involves cleanup and mitigation of past environmental contamination and uncontained waste sites, including decontamination and decommissioning of permanently closed DOE facilities.

T1  - Interaction of humic substances with trace metals: implications for growth of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum
AN  - 20368917; 7726913
AB  - Blooms of the toxic, PSP-producing dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium catenatum, are annually recurrent events in south-east Tasmanian waters. Extensive blooms are preceded by a rainfall "trigger" and the associated influx of humic substances (HS) from land runoff (Hallegraeff et al. 1995). Culture studies were conducted to investigate the potential nutritive influence of HS on G. catenatum. Using a seawater-based growth medium (28 ppt), enriched with nutrients but no HS, the trace element Seleniufli (Se; 10 super(-9) M H sub(2)SeO sub(3)) lirDits growth ( mu ) and biomass (N, chl-a). Addition of HS (Suwannee River Humic Acid available from the International Humic Substances Society or dissolved organic Carbon (DOC) isolated from Huon River water by ultrafiltration), causes a 35% and 90% reduction in G. catenatum growth and biomass respectively. In contrast, growth and biomass of G. catenatum is increased by approximately 15% and 45-70% (respectively) when HS are added to cultures in the absence of any other chelators or accociated trace metals. Under these conditions, biomass is limited by the macronutrients NO sub(3) and PO sub(4), indicating that HS (especially DOC) increases the supply of Se to G. catenatum. The importance of Se for G. catenatum growth and the fact that land runoff can increase coastal Se levels, may be critical in bloom initiation. This work supports the widely accepted hypothesis that HS alter the supply of trace metals available for algal growth. From these observations it is clear that the outcome of humic-metal interactions on algal growth is variable, and depends on the composition and amount of humic additives, the concentration of trace metals in solution and the species-specific cellular metal requirements.

AN  - 19238124; 5818604
AB  - Fisheries Manager Primary Industries The Blue Crab fishery in South Australia is based upon the taking of the blue crab (Portunus pelagicus). Since the 1970's the fishery has developed from what was a highly seasonal non-target fishery, into what today is a fishery reaching the final stages of recognition as a specialist fishery with its own specific scheme of management regulation. The development of a specialist blue crab fishery has been a slow and at times uncertain process of determining whether the establishment of a sustainable output controlled fishery was the best management arrangement for the fishery. This process has been marked by significant changes in access entitlements to a range of commercial groups. These changes have been driven by considerations such as regional fishery collapses and the need to support development with greater market stability. There has been an exhaustive consultative process in order to ensure a negotiated outcome that endeavoured to meet the legislative obligations of resource protection, economic efficiency and equitable allocation.

T1  - Predation by House Cats, Felis catus (L.), in Canberra, Australia. I. Prey Composition and Preference
AN  - 17918130; 5160418
AB  - Studies of predation by house cats in Australia have not attempted to compare the composition of prey taken by cats with the relative availability of prey. Information on the composition of vertebrate prey caught by house cats in Canberra was collected by recording prey deposited at cat owners' residences over 12 months. A total of 1961 prey representing 67 species were collected or reported. In all, 64% of prey were introduced mammals, especially mice and rats, with birds comprising 27% (14% native, 10% introduced, 3% unidentified), reptiles 7%, amphibians 1% and native mammals 1%. Predatory behaviour by house cats appeared largely opportunistic with respect to spatial (habitat) and temporal (daily and seasonal) prey availability and accessibility, although there is mounting evidence from this and other studies that small mammals are the preferred prey. While this means that introduced mice and rats are common prey of house cats in urban and suburban environments, it also suggests that in relatively undisturbed environments adjoining new residential developments, predation by house cats may have a substantial impact on locally abundant, patchily distributed populations of native fauna, particularly mammals. Imposing night-time curfews on cats is likely to lessen predation of mammals but will probably not greatly reduce predation of birds or reptiles.

T1  - A mixing criterion for turbid rivers
AN  - 16560703; 4406805
AB  - A criterion for the formation/destruction of thermal stratification in turbid rivers is developed and tested against an extensive data set in a weir pool on the Murrumbidgee River, Australia. The criterion estimates whether a river section would stratify or not, subject to a prescribed heat flux through the water surface and a prescribed river flow. It can be determined from readily accessible parameters, including solar radiation, turbidity, wind speed and river discharge. It is suggested that this simple mixing criterion be used as a flow management tool in a variety of water quality applications in rivers.

T1  - Temperature tolerances of toxic dinoflagellate cysts: application to the treatment of ships' ballast water
AN  - 16522313; 4306247
AB  - Using toxic dinoflagellates and their resistant resting cysts as model organisms, we demonstrate the potential of heat treatment as a method to minimise the transport of harmful aquatic organisms via ships' ballast water. Vegetative dinoflagellate cultures of Gymnodinium catenatum could be readily killed using temperatures as low as 35 degree C and treatment times in the range 30 minutes to 5 h. The resistant resting cysts (hypnozygotes) of G. catenatum were killed after 2 h at 35 degree C and the cysts of Alexandrium catenella were killed after 4.5 h at 38 degree C. A careful assessment of various waste heat sources on the BHP bulk carrier 'Iron Whyalla' has confirmed the practicability of this approach, and a successful pilot heat treatment plant was trialled on-board ship in April 1997.

T1  - CMSS: policy analysis software for catchment managers
AN  - 16458160; 4357734
AB  - This paper describes a computer program that analyses the likely effects of proposed land use and land management policies on the nutrient loads delivered to rivers. The program was designed to meet the needs of catchment management groups that are developing policies and this perspective led to the inclusion of some novel features in the program. These features include a contextual database, a language for representing policies and a simple explanatory capability in the model. A very simple model is used to predict nutrient loads. The paper describes the formalism of the model, the syntax for expressing policies and the link between these policies and the model.

T1  - Non-CO sub(2) emitting renewable energy sources in Nepal: problems and prospects
AN  - 16456527; 4380590
AB  - The renewable energy sources of Nepal is highlighted. The huge hydro-power potential of Nepal is explained. The problems associated with its wide exploitation are given. Nepal's contribution to the global greenhouse effect through the emission of CO2, CH4 and CFSs from industrial emissions(cement, brick, and other factories), automotive vehicles, indoor biomass combustion, outdoor biomass combustion, petroleum products consumption and fuel based thermal plant generating 85 GWh is estimated. Equivalent CO2 saved by hydro and PV power is analyzed. Per capita consumption of CO2 is mentioned. Early precaution needed to be taken in reducing CO2 emissions from different sources is highlighted.

T1  - Delivering environmental decision support systems: software tools and techniques
AN  - 16454031; 4357762
AB  - A suite of 'desirable features' for Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS) is proposed by identifying the general attributes of environmental systems which are of importance to modelling and simulation, and the different categories of users of EDSSs. With these features as a guide, a review and discussion of the approaches to delivering Environmental Decision Support Systems is presented. The two most efficient approaches are: (i) the use of modelling and simulation software tools, and (ii) the use of model integration and re-use techniques. A review of the currently available software tools for environmental modelling and simulation is therefore presented, and an overview of the current research activities in model integration and re-use is provided. Numerous existing EDSS are used as examples of the different approaches throughout the review. The review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the two main approaches to EDSS delivery, and subsequently discusses the role emerging information technologies may play in the future delivery of EDSS. The paper concludes that while the available software for modelling and simulation is very advanced, some of the desirable features of EDSS (such as representation of spatial data and provision of expert help) cannot be easily delivered using such software.

T1  - Role of plant uptake on nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands located in the tropics
AN  - 16402579; 4286751
AB  - Major interactive components of the constructed wetlands such as aquatic vegetation, substratum, water, microorganisms and animals play significant roles in the treatment of wastewaters. For nitrogen (N) removal, a sequential nitrification/denitrification reaction and plant uptake are two major treatment mechanisms, while NH sub(3) volatilization is considered to be insignificant under the liquid pH lower than 8. In this research, both laboratory- and pilot-scale constructed wetlands were operated in the free water surface (FWS) mode. In order to investigate the role of plant uptake of N, narrow-leave cattails (Typha augustifolia) were planted at the initial density of 35 rhizomes/m super(2). Based on N mass balance, approximately 50% of the total nitrogen (TN) loaded into the constructed wetlands, operating at the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2-10 days, was accounted for by the amount of N assimilation into the plant tissues, resulting in the total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies of 40-70% and 71-83%, respectively. To further investigate the role of plant uptake, the cattail plants harvested at the intervals of 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks of operation resulted in the TN removal efficiencies of 73, 78, 86 and 80%, respectively. The constructed wetland unit having the plant harvesting interval of 8 weeks yielded the N plant uptake of 7.1-7.5 kg/(ha.day) amounting to 66-71% of the TN input. Some biogeochemical parameters such as oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) and dissolved oxygen (DO) in the constructed wetland beds suggested the occurrence of anoxic and reduced conditions which were favorable for the N removal processes such as plant uptake, ammonification, and nitrification/denitrification.

T1  - The Incidence and Relative Abundance of Amorbus obscuricornis and Gelonus tasmanicus (Hemiptera: Coreidae) in Southern Tasmania and Their Performance on Selected Eucalyptus Species
AN  - 16401756; 4307379
AB  - Comprehensive records of the host-plant associations of Amorbus obscuricornis (Westwood) and Gelonus tasmanicus (Le Guillou), undertaken over three years at field sites in southern Tasmania, are presented for the first time. Also presented are the results of performance experiments conducted predominantly with native Tasmanian Eucalyptus species. Both insect species were found to be oligophagous for Eucalyptus. However, A. obscuricornis was found to feed more widely than G. tasmanicus; that is, the former species fed upon eucalypts belonging to the ash, gum and peppermint groups whilst the latter was confined to the ash and gum species of Eucalyptus in Tasmania. On the basis of collection records, A. obscuricornis was found to be abundant in both wet and dry sclerophyll forest habitats whilst G. tasmanicus was more abundant in wet sclerophyll forests. The wider degree of oligophagy exhibited by A. obscuricornis than by G. tasmanicus is suggested as being related to this species' preference for floristically diverse habitats, for example dry sclerophyll forest. In addition, inter- and intraspecific host selection in the exclusively shoot-feeding A. obscuricornis was found to be positively influenced by the architecture, in particular the coppicing phenology, of hosts. The significance of factors such as plant architecture, resource abundance and nutritional quality to the host-plant associations of both species are discussed in relation to secondary chemistry and habitat preferences.

T1  - Long-term variation of litter fall, canopy leaf area and flowering in a Eucalyptus maculata forest on the south coast of New South Wales
AN  - 16365164; 4295255
AB  - Litter fall, canopy leaf area and environmental conditions were monitored in a regrowth stand of Eucalyptus maculata Hook. in Kioloa State Forest on the south coast of New South Wales, from spring 1977 to winter 1992. Litter fall during the first half of the study period was strongly influenced by two of the most serious droughts that had occurred in 100 years. Canopy renewal and, hence, leaf fall and changes of leaf area index (LAI), were also influenced by the flowering phenology of E. maculata. Total annual litter fall (including bark shed from lower boles) averaged 5.7 t ha super(-1) and ranged from 3.1 up to 7.5 t ha super(-1). The respective means (plus absolute ranges) of annual leaf, twig and bark fall were 2.8 (1.5-4.2), 0.9 (0.3-1.4) and 1.6 (0.5-3.1) t ha super(-1). Forest LAI varied between 0.7 and 5 m super(2) m super(-2). Leaves comprised 50% of the average annual litter fall; bark shed from lower boles of E. maculata contributed 0.63 t ha super(-1) to average annual bark fall. Flower buds were produced by a proportion of overstorey trees of E. maculata about every second year. Synchronous production and flowering of buds on all trees was observed only once in 15 years. Less than 15% of flower buds (overall) produced fruit.

T1  - Intra- and inter-specific pollination of Santalum spicatum and S. album
AN  - 16352435; 4295279
AB  - The flower morphology, receptivity and sexual compatibility between genotypes and species were determined in Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) and Indian sandalwood (S. album). The results showed that the stigma of both species became receptive at anthesis and reached a peak at 3 or 4 days after anthesis. Pollen tubes took 2 days to grow to the ovary when pollinated at anthesis, and 1 day when pollinated 2 or 3 days after anthesis. The egg apparatus matured at least 2 days after pollination and varied between genotypes. Fertilisation occurred 2 or 3 days following cross pollination. Although 10-40% of ovules were fertilised following intra-specific crosses of both species, the average initial fruit set was much lower: 4% in S. spicatum and 19% in S. album. Most immature fruit (75-80%) abscised following intra-specific pollination. The number of pollen tubes that grew in styles after self- and inter-specific pollination was lower than that for intra-specific pollination. Following self and inter-specific pollination, growth of pollen tubes was arrested in the style, ovary and around the embryo sac; a few penetrated the embryo sac. Initial fruit set was low and developing fruit abscised prematurely. The results indicated that pre- and post-fertilisation mechanisms control self-incompatibility and inter-specific incompatibility between the sandalwood species.

T1  - Problems and solutions in the application of predictive microbiology
AN  - 16349007; 4292924
AB  - Predictive microbiology represents a rational, quantitative, and generic approach to improving food quality and safety and to developing an understanding of the 'dynamic' microbial ecology of foods. Although models describing microbial inactivation have been used by food processors for decades, concerns have been expressed about the practical application of the current generation of models that describe the rate of microbial growth, or the probability of growth/toxin production occurring at all. Problems in the application of predictive microbiology are considered, and strategies for their resolution reviewed and exemplified by reference to existing programs and current research. The relationship between predictive microbiology and other newer strategies, such as HACCP and 'hurdle technology', is also considered. It is concluded that predictive microbiology is more a philosophy than a specific method or technology, and that predictive models are analytical tools that will continue to be developed to enable the performance of increasingly sophisticated tasks.

T1  - Social behaviour in an Australian allodapine bee Exoneura (Brevineura) xanthoclypeata (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
AN  - 16317323; 4243618
AB  - The allodapine bees are well suited for comparative studies of social evolution because of the wide variation in social behaviour within and between genera. There are three main clades in the endemic Australian genus Exoneura. Two groups (Exoneura sensu stricto and Exoneurella) have received extensive study. In this paper we provide the first detailed study of social behaviour in the third group, Brevineura, based on a heathland population of Exoneura (B.) xanthoclypeata Rayment. This species has two seasonal pulses of egg-laying and brood rearing occurs throughout most of the year, including winter. This extended period of egg-laying and brood development differs from the two other Australian Exoneura subgenera and provides extensive opportunities for eusocial-like sib-rearing. Dissection data indicate that reproductive differentiation among adult nestmates is well developed and dependent on body size, with smaller females being mostly or entirely non-reproductive. Per capita brood production is dramatically higher in multi-female nests than in single-female nests and relatedness between adult nestmates is moderately high (r approximately 0.5). These two factors suggest that local fitness enhancement may be occurring and our limited sex allocation data suggest female-biased ratios. Because of the opportunities for sib-rearing in this species, local fitness enhancement has the potential to lower selective thresholds for eusociality.

T1  - Water balance in swelling materials: Some comments
AN  - 16309708; 4248929
AB  - Materials ranging from wet tailings in retention ponds through potentially acid sulfate sediments in humid marine environments to clay soils in semi-arid climates shrink and swell with change in water content. This paper discusses the formulation and determination of material balance in such swelling and cracking materials. Significant errors and their likely magnitudes are identified when these estimates are based in physical space, as opposed to material space. Ways in which this problem might be dealt with are discussed.

T1  - Site information and initial results from deep ice drilling on Law Dome, Antarctica
AN  - 16275606; 4283352
AB  - The aim of deep ice drilling on Law Dome, Antarctica, has been to exploit the special characteristics of Law Dome summit, i.e. low temperature and high accumulation near an ice divide, to obtain a high-resolution ice core for climatic/environmental studies of the Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Drilling was completed in February 1993, when basal ice containing small fragments of rock was reached at a depth of 1196 m. Accurate ice dating, obtained by counting annual layers revealed by fine-detail delta super(18)O, peroxide and electrical-conductivity measurements, is continuous down to 399 m, corresponding to a date of AD 1304. Sulphate concentration measurements, made around depths where conductivity tracing indicates volcanic fallout, allow confirmation of the dating (for Agung in 1963 and Tambora in 1815) or estimates of the eruption date from the ice dating (for the Kuwae, Vanuatu, eruption similar to 1457). The lower part of the core is dated by extrapolating the layer-counting using a simple model of the ice flow. At the LGM, ice-fabric measurements show a large decrease (250 to 14 mm super(2)) in crystal size and a narrow maximum in c-axis verticality. The main zone of strong single-pole fabrics however, is located higher up in a broad zone around 900 m. Oxygen-isotope ( delta super(18)O) measurements show Holocene ice down to 1113 m, the LGM at 1133 m and warm ( delta super(18)O about the same as Holocene) ice near the base of the ice sheet. The LGM/Holocene delta super(18)O shift of 7.0ppt, only similar to 1ppt larger than for Vostok, indicates that Law Dome remained an independent ice cap was not overridden by the inland ice sheet in the Glacial.

T1  - Seed germination model for Eucalyptus delegatensis provenances germinating under conditions of variable temperature and water potential
AN  - 16257813; 4237386
AB  - This paper develops a population-based threshold model to describe the combined action of sub- and supra-optimal temperatures, water stress and the release of dormancy by cool-moist stratification on the germination of seeds of Eucalyptus delegatensis R.T. Baker. Separate models were fitted for seed samples collected from five climatically differing regions. The model presumes that the time to germination of a given seed fraction is inversely proportional to the difference between the actual level of a given germination factor and the factor threshold. The model then assumes that variation In this factor threshold within a seed population as a whole can be characterised by a normal, or log-normal, distribution. By using physiological time rather than clock time as a metric, the model was extended to describe germination under varying conditions in the field. A number of applications of the model were demonstrated. The correlation of model parameters with regional climate was tested and it was concluded that site temperature affected both the mean and variation in base population sensitivities to stratification-dose but that site rainfall affected only the mean base population sensitivity to water stress with all populations having a common variance. Examination of the model parameters relating to the release of dormancy indicated that the increased germination rate associated with stratification could be accounted for by progress towards germination made at stratifying temperatures. Finally, the model was used to examine the fundamental regeneration niche of E. delegatensis and it was concluded that abundant germination in the field could only be expected when the soil water potential is above -0.4 MPa and temperatures exceed 7.5 degree C. The model is presented as a flexible framework that allows for the prediction of field germination and as a useful tool for exploring seed germination processes, and the fundamental regeneration niche of the species. The modelling framework is easily modified to include additional factors and factor interactions applicable to other situations and species.

T1  - Misting of tomato plants improves leaf water status but not leaf growth
AN  - 16254626; 4237389
AB  - Field and laboratory experiments were carried out to determine whether modification of the aerial environment in a hot climate would improve the leaf growth rate and ultimately the yield of well-irrigated processing tomatoes, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. UC82B. In the field, the transpiration rate was modified by frequent applications of a fine mist. Misting reduced the diurnal fall in leaf water potential by up to 0.5 MPa, but had no effect on weekly vegetative growth or fruit yield, compared to a control treatment which was not misted but had accurately managed drip irrigation. To investigate these processes further, we studied the relationship between leaf water status and leaf growth in the laboratory using equipment in which a pot is placed inside a pressure chamber, with the leaves enclosed in a cuvette. Immediately following a misting event, both the hydrostatic pressure of the leaf xylem and the leaf expansion rate increased. The increase in leaf expansion rate was sustained for about 10 min and then fell below the pre-misted rate so that the net effect of a misting event on leaf expansion was small or nil. When an elevated leaf water status was sustained by pressurising the soil for over an hour, there was only a transient increase in leaf growth, and leaf growth stopped after the pressure was removed. Both in the laboratory and field, the overall leaf or vegetative growth was not sensitive to rapid fluctuations in leaf water status. The implication is that, if sufficient attention is paid to managing the root zone of crops, the more expensive and less efficient modification of the shoot environment is unnecessary.

T1  - Studies on the host-finding ability of the aphid parasitoid, Trioxys complanatus (Hym.: Braconidae) in lucerne and clover
AN  - 16241951; 4228268
AB  - The spotted alfalfa aphid (SAA), Therioaphis trifolii (Monell) f. maculata, was first recorded in Australia in 1977. It is a major pest of lucerne and other pasture medics but not of clover (Trifolium spp.). The parasitoid Trioxys complanatus Quills was introduced into Australia in late 1977 as part of a biological control program for SAA and made a substantial contribution to the management of the pest. Since 1989, aphids which are individually indistinguishable from SAA have been causing substantial yield loss to clover pastures in western and south-eastern Australia. This aphid, now known in Australia as the spotted clover aphid (SCA), is genetically distinct from SAA and has a much wider host range. Populations of SCA in clover are rarely parasitised by T. complanatus. A series of experiments was undertaken to determine whether the greater susceptibility of SAA in lucerne than of SCA in clover to parasitisation by T. complanatus is due to the attraction of the parasitoid preferentially to lucerne or to the differential attractiveness of the aphids themselves. SAA and SCA were offered to the parasitoids in arenas of increasing complexity from single trifoliate leaves of lucerne and clover on agar through single potted plants in small cages to groups of potted plants in a large cage. Results showed that the parasitoids exhibited a preference for lucerne though, in the cage situation, they did find and parasitise SCA on clover. They did not differentiate between SAA and SCA on lucerne.

T1  - Soil indicators of changing land quality and capital value
AN  - 16187573; 6104036
AB  - If the market price of agricultural land was more sensitive to soil degradation and its effect on productivity, it would increase the economic incentive for farmers to adopt conservative soil management practices. This project aimed to provide farmers and financial institutions relationships estimating changes in productive potential from various soil properties and methods to adjust the capital valuation of land to reflect these change. Relationships were investigated between soil properties measured at a particular time (autumn 1996) and productivity between 1992-1995 for 80 paddocks representing the major agricultural Soil-Landscape Types (SLTs) within the Wagga Wagga 1:100,000 map sheet (McKane and Chen, 1997). Soil samples from 0-10 cm and 20-30 cm depth were sent for commercially-available, chemical analysis. Farmers' records for 1992-1995 were used to estimate a standardized gross margin (GM = crop/hay income - variable costs + livestock GM) for each paddock-year. Income was estimated from actual crop or hay yields and the mean prices over 1992-1995. Variable costs were estimated from actual inputs and operations using standard prices for inputs and standardized costs for machinery operations. Contract harvest costs and other crop costs were also included. Livestock enterprises were classified as wethers, self-replacing ewes, second-cross lambs, cows and calves or steers. Livestock GM was calculated from the estimated stocking rate (DSE/ha) and a standard GM per DSE ($/DSE) for each enterprise type. The latter were estimated for model flocks/herds for each enterprise type and included wool and animal sales as well as animal management costs. Paddock-years in which irrigation was used or in which pasture seed was grown were excluded from further analysis. The response of GM to various soil properties and growing season rainfall (GSR, 1 April-30 November) was investigated separately for each SLT using multiple linear regression. GSR for all paddocks was assumed to be that for Wagga Wagga. The models chosen are the most informative of those available (i.e. there is no single, 'correct' model).

T1  - The Listeria monocytogenes gene ctpA encodes a putative P-type ATPase involved in copper transport
AN  - 16082630; 4111596
AB  - A Tn917 transposon derivative was used to construct a lacZ transcriptional fusion mutant in Listeria monocytogenes DRDC8 that displayed increased beta -galactosidase activity in response to cation stress. A 4.3 kb fragment of L. monocytogenes chromosomal DNA flanking the lacZ fusion was cloned and sequenced. A 1962 bp open reading frame was identified, and designated ctpA. Analysis of the deduced 653 amino acid sequence revealed significant similarity to the family of ATP-dependent enzymes involved in copper transport in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. CtpA is distinctive by virtue of an N-terminal truncation in the domain responsible for cation binding. Growth of ctpA insertion mutants was restricted by the copper-chelating agent 8-hydroxyquinoline. DNA/RNA hybridisation studies revealed that levels of ctpA mRNA were increased following growth in media containing low and high copper concentrations. These results suggest the isolation of a region of DNA that encodes a novel copper-transporting system in L. monocytogenes.

T1  - Roles of baffles in waste stabilization ponds
AN  - 16063669; 4106179
AB  - Performance of baffles in waste stabilization ponds (WSP) comprising laboratory-scale ponds with different number of baffles was evaluated. This study was aimed at promoting waste stabilization ponds practice for wastewater treatment in tropical countries by reducing the land area requirement through the use of baffles which increased the biofilm and biomass concentrations. The experiments started with the tracer study to find out the hydraulic characteristics of each pond. It was shown that the dispersion number decreased with increasing flow length and number of baffles, which indicates more plug flow conditions. The deviation of actual HRT from theoretical HRT was computed and the flow pattern suggested the existence of an optimum spacing of baffles in baffled waste stabilization pond (BWSP) units. The investigations by feeding with synthetic wastewater further revealed that more than 65% TN and 90% NH sub(3)-N removal were achieved at HRT of 5 days in 6-baffled pond which corresponds to the specific area of 35.20 m super(2) /m super(3). TN and NH sub(3)-N removal was increasing with number of baffles in the BWSP units. COD removal increased with higher number of baffles with its maximum removal efficiency at 6 baffles. The computed COD removal encompassed first-order reactions of both suspended and biofilm biomass was higher than that without the biofilm biomass activity and agreed well with the observed data. Compared with normal WSP, BWSP gave higher TN, NH sub(3)-N and COD removal. The effluent SS concentrations from 6 baffled-pond were less than 20 mg/l at HRT of 3 days.

T1  - Feather mites are potentially an important source of allergens for pigeon and budgerigar keepers
AN  - 16054036; 4102427
AB  - Previous studies on allergy to feathers have not addressed whether organisms living on feathers (mites, lice, moulds) are a source of allergens. To investigate whether feather mites produced allergens of clinical relevance to bird keepers. We examined serum IgE responses of 96 pigeon breeders to an extract of feather mites from pigeons (predominantly Diplaegidia columbae), using Western blotting, specific IgE assay using AlaSTAT EIA and RAST inhibition. Feather mites are a major source of soluble proteins derived from feathers, accounting for up to 10% of the total weight of the feather. Forty-three sere had a negative score (0) for anti-feather mite IgE, 27 were weakly positive (1-2) and 26 had strongly positive scores (3-4). Fewer pigeon breeders with scores greater than or equal to 3 were asymptomatic than those with negative scores (12 versus 40%), more had late onset symptoms (with or without early onset symptoms; 77% versus 44%) and had IgE antibody against house dust mite (89% versus 23%). Western blotting of eight sera against the extract of Diplaegidia columbae revealed 20 IgE-binding components ranging from 22 to 200 kDa. A high diversity of components was recognized by each serum: arithmetic mean 7 (range 2-14). RAST inhibition indicated feather mites had species-specific epitopes as well as ones that cross-reacted with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Strongly-positive AlaSTAT scores to pigeon feather mite were associated with allergic symptoms of late onset in pigeon breeders. We conclude that feather mites are a major source of clinically-relevant allergens for pigeon breeders.

T1  - Tropical acid streams -- the chironomid (Diptera) response in northern Australia
AN  - 16002811; 4079144
AB  - Chironomidae, sampled by interception of drifting cast pupal exuviae, responded to inputs of acid, heavy metal-rich waters in a seasonally flowing tropical stream in northern Australia. Responses included gain of distinctive (indicative) taxa, loss of some species typical of pristine conditions, and increase in species richness. Experimental manipulation (upstream diversion) of a mine adit entry showed that these responses were the result of change in water quality. The higher species richness at low pH, which is contrary to temperate studies, may be explained by the large tropical (Australian and south-east Asian) pool of species tolerant of naturally occurring acidic aquatic habitats. The structure and responses of the exuvial-assessed chironomid community matched long-term larval data.

T1  - Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as sources of sediment contamination in the lower Passaic River, New Jersey. 2. Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls
AN  - 15969605; 4066507
AB  - Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are contaminants ubiquitous to the sediments of industrialized waterways. Non-point sources, such as atmospheric deposition, urban runoff, and combined sewer overflows, are recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as important uncontrolled sources of these compounds. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) on sediments of the Passaic River in New Jersey. In this investigation, we (1) characterize PCB and PCDD/F contamination in sediments impacted by these CSOs, (2) evaluate the spatial distribution of these contaminants, and (3) evaluate the possible sources of PCBs and PCDD/Fs within the respective CSO districts. Ten surficial sediment samples were collected adjacent to each of four CSO outfalls along the lower Passaic River and analyzed for coplanar PCBs and PCDD/Fs. Principal components analysis (PCA) was utilized to assess differences in the distributional patterns of PCB and PCDD/F congeners at each of the four CSO sampling areas. The results indicate that sediments proximate to the CSO outfalls are contaminated with elevated concentrations of these compounds. The spatial distribution and fingerprint patterns of PCBs and PCDD/Fs strongly suggest that the CSOs are a source of contamination in sediments near these outfalls. Evaluation of the industries operating within the CSO districts provides a link between the facilities that discharge wastes to the combined sewer system and PCBs and PCDD/Fs found in the sediments. Until adequate controls are implemented, CSOs will continue to be significant on-going sources of PCB and PCDD/F contamination affecting the water and sediment quality of the Passaic River.

T1  - Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as sources of sediment contamination in the lower Passaic River, New Jersey. 1. Priority pollutants and inorganic chemicals
AN  - 15961350; 4065696
AB  - Ten surficial sediment samples were collected adjacent to each of four combined sewer overflow (CSO) outfalls along the lower Passaic River in New Jersey and analyzed for priority pollutant organic and inorganic chemicals. The objectives of this investigation were to (1) characterize chemical contamination in sediments impacted by these CSOs, (2) evaluate the spatial distribution of contaminants, and (3) evaluate the possible sources of contaminants within the respective CSO districts. The results indicate that sediments proximate to the CSO outfalls are contaminated with a range of chemicals including toxic metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, and other organic chemicals. The spatial distribution of these contaminants strongly suggest that the CSOs are the primary source of contamination in sediments near these outfalls. While the contribution of residential waste and stormwater may be substantial, evaluation of the industries operating with the CSO districts provides a link between the facilities that discharge wastes to the combined sewer system and chemical contaminants found in the sediments. Until adequate controls are implemented, CSOs will continue to be on-going sources of contamination affecting the water and sediment quality of the Passaic River.

T1  - Changes in cell morphology and motility in the marine Vibrio sp. strain S14 during conditions of starvation and recovery
AN  - 15929955; 4048008
AB  - Cell morphology and motility of the marine Vibrio sp. strain S14 was monitored during multiple nutrient starvation for 16 days and subsequent recovery. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that, by 16 days of starvation, 97% of the cells had lost motility due to shedding of the flagellum from the cell. Cell morphology revealed that nutrient recovery after long-term starvation, was a heterogeneous response within the population. Within the first hour of nutrient supplementation, 20% of cells regained motility due to resynthesis of the flagellum and motile numbers increased by another 20% over the next 2.5 h by which time approx. 40% of total cell numbers had recovered plate culturability. Within 3.5 h of recovery, the majority of cells had resumed cell size equal to that of growing cells and a minority of total cell numbers remained as unresponsive microcells. This study illustrates that cells within a population respond heterogeneously during long-term starvation as well as nutrient recovery.

T1  - Defense environmental legislation in the 104th Congress--a retrospective
AN  - 15860882; 4023761
AB  - This article examines Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Energy (DOE) environmental activities and funding within the context of the four pillars of the National Security strategy of the Republican 104th Congress: improving the quality of life for service members; sustaining core readiness capability; revitalizing weapons modernization; and reforming the Pentagon bureaucracy. This article shows how initial skepticism by the new Republican congressional leaders toward DOD and DOE environmental programs gave way to a recognition of the legitimacy of environmental requirements, the potential contribution that environmental programs could make to increased quality of life and long-term readiness, and, most importantly, the realization that increased support of environmental programs was a political imperative to preserve Republican control of Congress. Consequently, the focus shifted from opposition to environmental spending to more constructive efforts aimed at increasing cost effectiveness and improving management of DOD and DOE environmental programs, while minimizing potential negative impacts on operational needs. The author is cautiously optimistic that this record of constructive congressional oversight of defense environmental programs will continue in the 105th Congress.

T1  - Suppression of osteoblast function by titanium particles
AN  - 15835677; 4014336
AB  - In order to understand the effect of particulate debris on osteoblast function, we studied the effect of different particles, including titanium and polystyrene, on bone collagen mRNA (messenger RNA) with the use of Northern blot hybridization analysis, and we studied the effect of the particles on the biosynthesis of bone collagen with analysis of super(3)H-proline incorporation and with the Western blot technique. The steady-state levels of mRNA for procollagens alpha sub(1)(I) and alpha sub(1)(III) were markedly suppressed in human MG-63 osteoblast-like cells exposed to phagocytosable titanium particles that were smaller than three micrometers. Both titanium and polystyrene particles smaller than three micrometers suppressed the expression of the gene that codes for collagen, and the suppression of the expression of the gene was related to the size but not to the composition of the particles. The biosynthesis of both type-I and type-III collagen also was decreased in cells that had been treated with titanium particles. Neither the viability nor the proliferation of cells was affected by particulate debris. These data indicate that phagocytosable titanium particles can significantly suppress the expression of the gene that codes for collagen in osteoblast-like cells (p < 0.05).

T1  - Plutonium isotopes, super(137)Cs, super(90)Sr and natural radioactivity in marine sediments from Ghazaouet (Algeria)
AN  - 15682001; 3966408
AB  - Samples of marine surface sediments of different grain sizes collected in Ghazaouet, a small bay on the western coast of Algeria, have been examined to measure alpha -, beta - and gamma -radioactivity. The purpose of this study is to detect any radioactive contamination. Using a combination of direct gamma spectrometry, radiochemical separation and alpha -spectrometry, and beta -counting, activity levels of the most significant naturally-occurring radioisotopes ( super(210)Po, super(210)Pb, super(226)Ra, etc.) were determined in the samples. Natural radionuclides have shown relatively high activities. The analysis of these samples revealed measurable quantities of some artificial radionuclides, namely: super(238)Pu (from 0.02 to 0.05 Bq/kg ash), super(239+240)Pu (from 0.3 to 0.6 Bq/kg ash), super(137)Cs (from 6.9 to 8.5 Bq/kg ash) and super(90)Sr (from 1.4 to 7.4 Bq/kg ash). Concentration ratios of super(238)Pu to super(239+240)Pu and super(137)Cs to super(239+240)Pu obtained seem to confirm that this artificial radioactivity is due mainly to nuclear-testing fallout.

T1  - Metabolism of Hexachlorobenzene in Humans: Association between Serum Levels and Urinary Metabolites in a Highly Exposed Population
AN  - 14439985; 10530097
AB  - Blood and urine were collected from 100 residents of a village located near an organochlorine factory in Spain that releases high levels of airborne hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Blood of all subjects contained HCB. All urine contained pentachlorophenol (PCP). The main HCB urinary metabolite was identified as a sulfur derivative that hydrolyzed to pentachlorobenzenethiol (PCBT). Levels of this compound were highest in subjects with the highest serum HCB levels, especially males. PCBT levels in urine after hydrolysis could be used as a biological indicator of HCB exposure. The association between urinary PCP and serum HCB was less strong.

T1  - Exposure Assessment for Workers Applying DDT to Control Malaria in Veracruz, Mexico
AN  - 14439251; 10530099
AB  - More than 330 people who applied DDT in homes in Veracruz, Mexico to eradicate malaria were surveyed for occupational exposure to the pesticide by questionnaire. Most (80%) had worked with DDT for 20 years or more. Samples of adipose tissue were analyzed in 40 workers, and the average DDT concentration was 104.48 mu g/g. DDE, the indicator of chronic exposure, concentrations averaged 60.98 mu g/g. Tasks were ranked for DDT exposure intensity. This information was combined with data on protective gear use and history of recent loss of weight. Variations in DDE content of adipose tissue could be explained 55% of the time using the combined information.

T1  - Ozone Exposure Assessment in a Southern California Community
AN  - 14439211; 10530095
AB  - In 1994, outdoor and personal monitoring of ozone was conducted in a San Diego county, California, community during the spring and fall. Average personal exposure was 25% of the outdoor levels, but prediction of personal exposure could not be accurately extrapolated from outdoor levels. Subjects were likely to be outdoors on weekends when ozone levels were high, but spent the less than 35% of the peak concentration hours outdoors. Therefore, indoor ozone exposure becomes more important, but the subjects were inaccurate in recording time spent in air conditioning. Seasonal differences in the microenvironmental models used for the assessment were found. In the fall study, the data from the model was improved when distance from outdoor monitoring site was considered.

AB  - The relationship between climate and mortality was investigated for 44 large cities in the United States was investigated. In the summer mortality sharply increased in East when a warm maritime airmass is present, and in the Midwest when a a the airmass is hot and dry. Mortality in cities of the south and southwest is less affected by summer weather. Daily mortality in winter is greater than that of the summer, temperature has little effect on winter mortalities. If warming trends continue, summer mortality can be expected to increase significantly.

AN  - 14438716; 10530100
AB  - Di-n-butylphthalate (DBP) is an ester that is used in plastics manufacture, and many consumer products. Reproductive toxicity was investigated in rats of both sexes fed various concentrations of DBP in diet and mated. Live litter size was decreased for all dose levels, and pup body weights were significantly reduced in those on the highest doses. When only males were treated, body weight reduction in offspring was not demonstrated. Body weight was reduced in dams, and both sexes had increased the ratios of liver and kidney to body weight. Sperm and estrous were unaffected. When the offspring were mated, adverse reproductive effects were significant in the highest dose group, and included sperm abnormalities and histological abnormalities of testes. Ovaries and uteruses of females were unaffected.

T1  - a Reevaluation of Cancer Incidence Near the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant: The Collision of Evidence and Assumptions
AN  - 14438681; 10530094
AB  - Data collected on leukemia incidence, lung cancer incidence, and cancer incidence in a ten mile radius of Three Mile Island was reanalyzed for the time period from 1975 to 1985. The accidental emission of ionizing radiation occurred in 1979. The reanalysis showed that increased cancer incidence in the area was related to radiation exposure. The finding refutes the results of an earlier study that failed to find an increase in cancer rates due to methodological and logical errors.

T1  - Demographic Risk Factors Associated with Elevated Lead Levels in Texas Medicaid Children
AN  - 14438221; 10530096
AB  - During 1993, more than 92,000 Texas children on Medicaid were screened for blood lead levels. More than 14% of children age 25 to 36 months had elevated levels. Among children age 19 to 24 months and 37 to 48 months, elevated levels were found in 13 and 12%, respectively. Levels in boys were higher across all ethnic groups, but levels were elevated in 17.3% of African American boys. Elevated blood lead levels were found in only 4.8% of white girls over four years old, the group least affected by lead poisoning. The risk factors for lead poisoning included age, gender and ethnicity and were the same as those found in the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey.

T1  - Maximum axial growth pressures of the lateral roots of pea and eucalypt
AN  - 1034819671; 17025662
AB  - Although lateral roots may contribute significantly towards growth and nourishment of plants, the mechanics of their elongation behaviour in strong soils is not well known. The aim of this study is to report maximum axial growth pressures (p) and maximum elongation rates (E) of the lateral roots of an annual herbaceous plant (pea) and a woody perennial (eucalypt). As such measurements have not been reported previously, measurements of P and E for lateral roots were compared with the primary roots of pea for which reports are widespread. Values of P were estimated from the measured maximum values of axial force and root diameter on single, intact roots of seedlings in the laboratory. Additional measurements of both P and E were made for the lateral roots of pea when the growth of the remaining root axes was stopped (with removal of tips) to determine the overall effects of root-growth-inhibition on P and E of single roots. Values of P and E for lateral roots of pea were significantly greater than those for the lateral roots of eucalypt. Although root diameter for the primary roots of pea were similar to those for the lateral roots of eucalypt, the former exerted nearly twice as much pressure as the latter. The lateral roots of pea elongated significantly slower than the primary roots; however, P of lateral roots was significantly lower than the primary roots when elongation of all other roots was inhibited during the measurements. Production and/or development of lateral roots increased when elongation of the remaining roots (both primary and lateral roots) of pea seedlings was restricted due to the removal of root tips and exposure of one of the lateral roots to high strength. In general, maximum axial force exerted by primary and lateral roots was similar for roots of 1 mm. As axial pressure of lateral roots was independent of root diameter, thickening of root tips is less likely to assist penetration of lateral roots in strong soils.

T1  - Inhalation teratology and reproduction studies with 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123).
AN  - 78614528; 8954757
AB  - HCFC 123 is one of the chemicals being developed as a replacement for CFC 11 in refrigerant and solvent applications. Supplementing earlier rat teratology studies, a rabbit inhalation teratology study was conducted. In addition, one-generation and two-generation inhalation reproduction studies were conducted. In the teratology study, the pregnant rabbits were exposed to levels of 0 (control), 500, 1500, and 5000 ppm, 6 hr per day from Days 6 through 18 of gestation. Slight body weight losses and reduced food consumption were seen in does in all three exposure level groups. This response followed an exposure-related pattern. There were no other signs of maternal toxicity. There was also no evidence of treatment-related effects on the kits. A probe one-generation reproduction study was conducted. In this study four groups of 12 male and 12 female rats were exposed to vapors of HCFC 123 6 hr per day, 7 days per week from 4 weeks prior to mating through weaning of their offspring. The exposure levels for this study were 0 (control), 300, 1000, and 5000 ppm. There were no effects on mating and fertility, or on pup survival or birth weight. A two-generation study was subsequently conducted. In this study, five groups of 32 male and female rats were exposed to HCFC 123 from 6 weeks of age through weaning. From the offspring of these animals, groups of 28 males and females were selected for the F1 generation. These animals were exposed to HCFC 123 from weaning (4 weeks of age) through weaning of the F1 generation. All exposures were 6 hr per day, 7 days per week. The exposure levels for this study were 0 (control), 30, 100, 300, and 1000 ppm. There were no effects on any of the fertility or reproductive indices measured. As with prior studies, decreases in serum triglyceride levels were seen. Pup survival and birth weight were unaffected by treatment. Pup body weight gain was lower in all treatment groups during nursing, following an exposure-related pattern. Since weight gain for the F1 animals was normal following weaning, this depression of body weight gain may be related to the depression of serum triglycerides. In addition, liver weights of the adult rats exposed to levels of 100 ppm and higher of HCFC 123 were higher than controls, histological examination revealed only hepatic enlargement and vacuolation. It was concluded that exposure to HCFC 123 did not cause reproductive effects although it did effect the body weight gain of the offspring during lactation.

T1  - Federal Support for Education. Fiscal Years 1980 to 1996.
AN  - 62615296; ED404364
AB  - This report attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of total federal financial support for education since fiscal year 1980. It takes into account programs that reside in Federal agencies other than the Department of Education if they have significant educational components. Federal support for education, excluding estimated Federal tax expenditures was an estimated $96.4 billion in fiscal year (FY) 1996, an increase of $33.6 billion, or 54%, since FY 1990. After adjustment for inflation, Federal support for education increased 29% between FY '90 and FY '96. In FY '96, on-budget Federal funds for education programs were estimated to be $70.9 billion, an increase of 37% since FY 90 in current dollars or an increase of 15% after being adjusted for inflation. Off-budget support and nonFederal funds generated by Federal legislation were estimated at $25.6 billion, an increase of 92% in constant dollars since FY '90. Between FY '90 and FY '96 funds for elementary and secondary education increased 34% in constant dollars. Over 58% of Federal education support, excluding estimated Federal tax expenditures, went to educational institutions in FY '96. The estimated share of expenditures of educational institutions declined from 14% in FY '80 to 10% in FY '90, but rose to 11% in FY '96. Six appendixes present detailed tables of expenditures. (Contains nine tables, six appendix tables, and three figures.) (SLD)

T1  - Adjusting for Coverage Bias Using Telephone Service Interruption Data. National Household Education Survey of 1993. Technical Report.
AN  - 62613116; ED404363
AB  - The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a data collection system of the National Center for Education Statistics. The NHES is a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population using households selected using random digit dialing methods. Approximately 60,000 households are screened for each administration, and people who meet predetermined criteria are sampled for more detailed or extended interviews. This report is a continuation of research on issues related to biases that result from the inability to survey people who are in households without telephones. It describes a study of an alternative method for adjusting telephone survey data to compensate for coverage bias. The method is based on the observation that telephone subscription varies within households over time. Weighting adjustments that use the data from households that have telephones only sometimes during the year might be an improvement over the current way of adjusting data. Findings indicate that coverage bias associated with households without telephones could be important for some statistics, and data collected on telephone service interruptions can be used to reduce this bias by using a response probability type of adjustment. The benefits of the bias reduction appear to be large enough to offset the variance increases due to increased variability in the weights in the study, although the results may differ for different size samples. Further research is needed, however, before the procedure can be recommended. (Contains 8 tables, 7 figures, and 10 references.) (SLD)

T1  - Building Knowledge for a Nation of Learners: A Framework for Education Research 1997. A Report by the Assistant Secretary, Office of Educational Research and Improvement, Sharon P. Robinson, and the National Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board.
AN  - 62609055; ED404379
AB  - This report, first of a biennial series, establishes national priorities for education research. The priorities reflect the ideas and concerns of students, parents, educators, community members, policymakers, and researchers. The seven national priorities that are defined are: (1) improving learning and development in early childhood; (2) improving curriculum, instruction, assessment, and student learning at all levels of education; (3) ensuring effective teaching by expanding the supply of potential teachers, improving teacher preparation, and promoting career-long professional development at all levels of education; (4) strengthening schools; (5) supporting schools to prepare diverse populations to meet high standards; (6) promoting learning in informal and formal settings; and (7) understanding the changing requirements for adult competence. Within each of these priorities, it will be essential to ensure equity and reflect diversity, stress the importance of the family, and fulfill the promise of educational technology. These priorities proceed from the belief that public schools should become more public in spirit and in practice. (Contains 114 references.) (SLD)

T1  - International Education Indicators: A Time Series Perspective.
AN  - 62608243; ED404365
AB  - Educational issues across the different member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are compared in this report. The OECD is made up of 26 developed countries. The indicators used in this analysis cover the years 1985 to 1991, a 7-year time series to study trends in policy. The indicators in this report provide data on how close the United States is to meeting its own educational goals defined in the National Education Goals of 1990, as well as how the country compares to other nations. Highlighted in the report are the basic components of education, including enrollment, expenditures, and outcomes. By examining economic and demographic characteristics, the education system of each country is placed in its proper context. The 12 indicators are grouped into 5 sections: (1) the social and economic context of education; (2) participation in education; (3) human and financial resources; (4) system outcomes; and (5) labor market outcomes. Most countries showed increases in educational participation, enrollment in tertiary education, expenditures on public education, expenditures per student, and first degree graduation rates. However, the percentage of graduate degrees awarded in most OECD countries in the sciences dropped overall between 1985 and 1991. An attachment contains supplemental notes and tables.

T1  - Teachers' Working Conditions. Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1996," No. 7.
AN  - 62603984; ED406348
AB  - Working conditions play an important role in a school's ability to attract, develop, and retain effective teachers. Data presented here describe a number of aspects of teachers' working conditions, including workload, compensation, school and district support for teachers' professional development, school decision making, school safety, student readiness to learn, and public respect for teachers. Results of the study revealed: (1) teachers put in more than a 40-hour week, on average, counting time spent outside of school; (2) average salaries tend to be lower than those of many other professionals, but, adjusting for inflation, teachers' salaries increased substantially during the 1980s; (3) professional development is supported by most schools and districts; (4) more than four out of five teachers reported that they had substantial control over what they taught and the texts and materials they used, and over disciplining students; and (5) public school teachers are increasingly worried about school safety at both the elementary and secondary levels. As a group, public school teachers appear to face more difficult working conditions than private school teachers, such as larger classes and less perceived influence over important school policies. However, public school teachers earn substantially more than private school teachers on average. Conditions for public school teachers also vary depending on the school's size and location, and the percentage of low income students in the school. (Contains 24 references.) (ND)

T1  - Preparation for Work. Findings from "The Condition of Education, 1996," No. 8.
AN  - 62603820; ED404550
AB  - This report contains data from "The Condition of Education 1996" on issues that are central to the process of work preparation: course-taking patterns among high school and postsecondary students, student experience as it relates to preparation for entry into the labor force, and adult involvement in education and training while employed. Some of the findings are as follows: (1) high school graduates in 1994 took a much higher percentage of courses in academic core subjects than did graduates in 1982; (2) high school students' access to and use of computers increased substantially between 1984 and 1993; (3) proficiency levels of 17-year-olds have improved in mathematics and science since the late 1970s; (4) increasing proportions of high school graduates are entering postsecondary education immediately after high school; (5) postsecondary subbaccalaureate degree majors vary considerably by sex and race-ethnicity; (6) at the baccalaureate level, students are more likely to major in applied fields of study, rather than more general, liberal arts education; (7) nearly 30 percent of high school students work at least part time; (8) almost half of full-time and 85 percent of part-time college students were employed in 1993; and (9) many adults participate in education for work-related purposes, and many receive on-the-job training.

T1  - Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia. Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property of the Committee on the Judiciary. House of Representatives. One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session.
AN  - 62597605; ED402920
AB  - This nonlegislative report presents guidelines for the interpretation of the fair use provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976. Technological developments since 1976 have necessitated the re-interpretation of the fair use exemption contained in the Copyright Act by copyright owners and the educational community to allow educators to apply the Act appropriately. The guidelines in this report were agreed upon by the majority of institutions and organizations affected by educational multimedia. While only the courts can decide whether a particular use of a copyrighted work fits within the fair use exemption, these guidelines represent the participants' consensus view of what constitutes the fair use of a portion of a work included in a multimedia educational project. Permitted educational uses and specific portion and time limitations are included to help educators, scholars, and students more easily identify whether using a portion of a certain copyrighted work constitutes a fair use of that work. The guidelines grant a relative degree of certainty that a use within the guideline will not be perceived as an infringement of the Copyright Act by the endorsing copyright owners, and that permission for such use will not be required. Appendices include lists of organizations, individual companies, institutions, and United States governmental agencies endorsing the guidelines; and organizations participating in guideline development.

T1  - Realizing the Potential: Improving Postsecondary Teaching, Learning, and Assessment.
AN  - 62583881; ED404939
AB  - This report summarizes research findings on the improvement of postsecondary teaching, learning, and assessment. It was found that 2-year and 4-year institutions provided relatively equal cognitive gains for students after the initial year, and that African American students attending historically black colleges or universities showed comparable first-year cognitive gains to their counterparts attending predominantly white institutions. It was also found that the most influential experiences in noncontent learning for students involved human interactions with other students and faculty. Active student involvement in their own learning (through collaborative learning, internships, and meaningful work-study) brought students greater learning effectiveness. Research indicated that while faculty are innovative and adjust their teaching styles to accommodate students' needs, little reward exists in the system for such investment. Faculty who spent more time on research and publishing and less time on teaching earned the highest salaries. It is concluded that faculty, administrators, and state legislators need to welcome diversity, assess student development to show pathways to improvement, and support efforts to encourage, educate, and assist new faculty to become skilled and proficient at curriculum planning, instruction, and advising.

T1  - Interprovincial Resource Transfers in China, 1952-90
AN  - 61443230; 9703897
AB  - Interprovincial resource transfers in the People's Republic of China 1952-1990 are examined through analysis of reconstructed data on national income & provincial resources. Analysis reveals that over the past four decades, interprovincial resource transfers have been maintained at a level of 14% of total national resources. Over the study period, dramatic fluctuations in interprovincial resource transfers occurred, forming six distinct subperiods: (1) 1952-1957, a steady increase in interprovincial resource redistribution; (2) 1958-1967, less-concentrated interprovincial resource movement; (3) 1968-1970, peak levels of transferred resources; (4) 1971-1975, lower concentration of resource transfers; (5) 1976-1978, rapid increases in interprovincial resource transfers; & (6) 1979-1990, continuing decline in interprovincial resource transfers. Differences among provinces in interprovincial resource transfers are discussed. 3 Tables, 4 Figures, 20 References. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Phase II metabolism of benzene.
AN  - 21353593; 7716577
AB  - The hepatic metabolism of benzene is thought to be a prerequisite for its bony marrow toxicity. However, the complete pattern of benzene metabolites formed in the liver and their role in bone marrow toxicity are not fully understood. Therefore, benzene metabolism was studied in isolated rodent hepatocytes. Rat hepatocytes released benzene-1,2-dihydrodiol, hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CT), phenol (PH), trans-trans-muconic acid, and a number of phase II metabolites such as PH sulfate and PH glucuronide. Pretreatment of animals with 3-methylcholantrene (3-MC) markedly increased PH glucuronide formation while PH sulfate formation was decreased. Likewise, V79 cells transfected with the 3-MC-inducible rat UGT1.6 cDNA showed a considerable rate of PH and HQ glucuronidation. In addition to inducing glucuronidation of phenols, 3-MC treatment (reported to protect rats from the myelotoxicity of benzene) resulted in a decrease of hepatic CYP2E1. In contrast, pretreatment of rats with the CYP2E1-inducer isopropanol strongly enhanced benzene metabolism and the formation of phenolic metabolites. Mouse hepatocytes formed much higher amounts of HQ than rat hepatocytes and considerable amounts of 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene (THB) sulfate and HQ sulfate. In conclusion, the protective effect of 3-MC in rats is probably due to a shift from the labile PH sulfate to the more stable PH glucuronide, and to a decrease in hepatic CYP2E1. The higher susceptibility of mice toward benzene may be related to the high rate of formation of the myelotoxic metabolite HQ and the semistable phase II metabolites HQ sulfate and THB sulfate.

T1  - Phenylguanine found in urine after benzene exposure.
AN  - 21270472; 11701775
AB  - Comparative investigations with synthetic N7-phenylguanine were carried out to clarify whether this compound is eliminated via the urine of rats as a benzene-derived nucleic acid adduct. As sensitive methods for detecting trace amounts of the compound, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography, and two immunoassays (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and fluoroimmunoassay) with appropriate monoclonal antibodies were used. The results indicate the excretion of several benzene-related guanine adducts slightly different from N7-phenylguanine that may possibly be hydroxylated. These adducts differ also from (O6-, N2- and C8-phenylguanine, respectively.

T1  - Biomarkers of environmental benzene exposure.
AN  - 21268575; 11703665
AB  - Environmental exposures to benzene result in increases in body burden that are reflected in various biomarkers of exposure, including benzene in exhaled breath, benzene in blood and urinary trans-trans-muconic acid and S-phenylmercapturic acid. A review of the literature indicates that these biomarkers can be used to distinguish populations with different levels of exposure (such as smokers from nonsmokers and occupationally exposed from environmentally exposed populations) and to determine differences in metabolism. Biomarkers in humans have shown that the percentage of benzene metabolized by the ring-opening pathway is greater at environmental exposures than that at higher occupational exposures, a trend similar to that found in animal studies. This suggests that the dose-response curve is nonlinear; that potential different metabolic mechanisms exist at high and low doses; and that the validity of a linear extrapolation of adverse effects measured at high doses to a population exposed to lower, environmental levels of benzene is uncertain. Time-series measurements of the biomarker, exhaled breath, were used to evaluate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. Biases were identified between the PBPK model predictions and experimental data that were adequately described using an empirical compartmental model. It is suggested that a mapping of the PBPK model to a compartmental model can be done to optimize the parameters in the PBPK model to provide a future framework for developing a population physiologically based pharmacokinetic model.

T1  - Cell-specific activation and detoxification of benzene metabolites in mouse and human bone marrow: identification of target cells and a potential role for modulation of apoptosis in benzene toxicity.
AN  - 21268557; 11703663
AB  - The role of cell-specific metabolism in benzene toxicity was examined in both murine and human bone marrow. Hemopoietic progenitor cells and stromal cells are important control points for regulation of hemopoiesis. We show that the selective toxicity of hydroquinone at the level of the macrophage in murine bone marrow stroma may be explained by a high peroxidase/nicotanimide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced [NAD(P)H]:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) ratio. Peroxidases metabolize hydroquinone to the reactive 1,4-benzoquinone, whereas NQO1 reduces the quinones formed, resulting in detoxification. Peroxidase and NQO1 activity in human stromal cultures vary as a function of time in culture, with peroxidase activity decreasing and NQO1 activity increasing with time. Peroxidase activity and, more specifically, myeloperoxidase, which had previously been considered to be expressed at the promyelocyte level, was detected in murine lineage-negative and human CD34+ progenitor cells. This provides a metabolic mechanism whereby phenolic metabolites of benzene can be bioactivated in progenitor cells, which are considered initial target cells for the development of leukemias. Consequences of a high peroxidase/NQO1 ratio in HL-60 cells were shown to include hydroquinone-induced apoptosis. Hydroquinone can also inhibit proteases known to play a role in induction of apoptosis, suggesting that it may be able to inhibit apoptosis induced by other stimuli. Modulation of apoptosis may lead to aberrant hemopoiesis and neoplastic progression. This enzyme-directed approach has identified target cells of the phenolic metabolites of benzene in bone marrow and provided a metabolic basis for benzene-induced toxicity at the level of the progenitor cell in both murine and human bone marrow.

T1  - An overview of benzene metabolism.
AN  - 21261412; 11703667
AB  - Benzene toxicity involves both bone marrow depression and leukemogenesis caused by damage to multiple classes of hematopoietic cells and a variety of hematopoietic cell functions. Study of the relationship between the metabolism and toxicity of benzene indicates that several metabolites of benzene play significant roles in generating benzene toxicity. Benzene is metabolized, primarily in the liver, to a variety of hydroxylated and ring-opened products that are transported to the bone marrow where subsequent secondary metabolism occurs. Two potential mechanisms by which benzene metabolites may damage cellular macromolecules to induce toxicity include the covalent binding of reactive metabolites of benzene and the capacity of benzene metabolites to induce oxidative damage. Although the relative contributions of each of these mechanisms to toxicity remains unestablished, it is clear that different mechanisms contribute to the toxicities associated with different metabolites. As a corollary, it is unlikely that benzene toxicity can be described as the result of the interaction of a single metabolite with a single biological target. Continued investigation of the metabolism of benzene and its metabolites will allow us to determine the specific combination of metabolites as well as the biological target(s) involved in toxicity and will ultimately lead to our understanding of the relationship between the production of benzene metabolites and bone marrow toxicity.

T1  - Leukemia mortality by cell type in petroleum workers with potential exposure to benzene.
AN  - 21260974; 11701777
AB  - Workers in the petroleum industry are potentially exposed to a variety of petrochemicals, including benzene or benzene-containing liquids. Although a large number of studies of petroleum workers have been conducted to examine leukemia and other cancer risks, few existing studies have investigated cell-type-specific leukemias. One of the major reasons for the lack of cell-type-specific analysis was the small number of deaths by cell type in individual studies. In the present investigation, all cohort studies of petroleum workers in the United States and the United Kingdom were combined into a single database for cell-type-specific leukemia analysis. The majority of these workers were petroleum refinery employees, but production, pipeline, and distribution workers in the petroleum industry were also included. The combined cohort consisted of more than 208,000 petroleum workers, who contributed more than 4.6 million person-years of observation. Based on a meta-analysis of the combined data, cell-type-specific leukemia risks were expressed in terms of standardized mortality ratios (meta-SMRs). The meta-SMR for acute myeloid leukemia was 0.96. The lack of an increase of acute myeloid leukemia was attributed to the low levels of benzene exposure in the petroleum industry, particularly in comparison to benzene exposure levels in some previous studies of workers in other industries, who had been found to experience an increased risk of acute myeloid leukemia. Similarly, no increase in chronic myeloid, acute lymphocytic, or chronic lymphocytic leukemias was found in petroleum workers (meta-SMRs of 0.89, 1.16, and 0.84, respectively). Stratified meta-analyses restricted to refinery studies or to studies with at least 15 years of follow-up yielded similar results. The findings of the present investigation are consistent with those from several recent case-control studies of cell-type-specific leukemia. Patterns and levels of benzene exposure in the petroleum industry are reviewed. The results of the present epidemiologic investigation are discussed in conjunction with recent advances in leukemogenesis from other scientific disciplines.

T1  - The use of protein adducts to investigate the disposition of reactive metabolites of benzene.
AN  - 21260121; 11701768
AB  - Benzene is metabolized to a number of electrophilic species that are capable of binding to both DNA and proteins. We used adducts of hemoglobin (Hb) and bone marrow proteins to study the disposition of three benzene and metabolites (benzene oxide [BO], 1,2-benzoquinone [1,2-BQ], and 1,4-benzoquinone [1,4-BQ]) in F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice following a single oral dosage of [13C6]benzene and/or [14C]benzene. Our assays focused upon cysteine adducts that accounted for 38 to 45% of protein binding to Hb and 63 to 81% of protein binding to bone marrow. Although both mice and rats showed dose-related increases in Hb and bone marrow protein adducts of BO and of the two benzoquinones, large intertissue and interspecies differences were noted, suggesting different preferences in metabolic pathways. The highest levels of adducts in mice were of 1,4-BQ (10-27% of all cysteine adducts), while in rats, BO adducts predominated in Hb (73% of all cysteine adducts) and 1,2-BQ adducts predominated in the bone marrow (14% of all cysteine adducts). High background levels of 1,2-BQ and 1,4-BQ adducts were also detected in both species, indicating that the toxic effects of quinone metabolites may only be important at high levels of benzene exposure.

T1  - S-phenylcysteine in albumin as a benzene biomarker.
AN  - 21259953; 11703668
AB  - Biological markers of internal dose are useful for improving the extrapolation of health effects from exposures to high levels of toxic air pollutants in animals to low, ambient exposures in humans. Previous results from our laboratory have shown that benzene is metabolized by humans to form the adduct S-phenylcysteine (SPC). Levels of SPC measured in humans occupationally exposed to benzene were increased linearly relative to exposure concentrations ranging from 0 to 23.1 ppm for 8 hr/day, 5 days/week. However, the method of measurement used was laborious, prone to imprecision and interferences, and insufficiently sensitive for the low-dose exposures anticipated in the United States (100 ppb >). An improved chemical method was necessary before SPC adducts in albumin could be used as a benzene biomarker. A simple, sensitive method to measure SPC adducts is being developed and is based on the cleavage of the cysteine sulfhydryl from blood proteins treated with Raney nickel (RN) in deuterium oxide. The product of the reaction with SPC is monodeuterobenzene. SPC treated with RN released monodeuterobenzene in a concentration-dependent fashion. SPC was measured by RN treatment of globin from rats repeatedly exposed by inhalation to 600 ppm benzene. SPC levels measured using the RN approach were 690 +/- 390 pmol SPC/mg Hb (mean +/- % difference, n = 2), as opposed to 290 +/- 45 pmol SPC/mg Hb (mean +/- SEM, n = 3) as measured by our previous method. This method may facilitate the cost-effective, routine analysis of SPC in large populations of people exposed to ambient levels of benzene.

AN  - 21259938; 11703666
AB  - Leukemias are monoclonal diseases that arise from cells in the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell compartment. Consistent with emerging models of carcinogenesis, leukemogenesis is an evolutionary process that involves multiple independent genetic and epigenetic events. Over the last half-century a predominant paradigm has emerged to describe leukemia developing secondary to alkylating drug therapy or exposure to benzene in which progressive dysplastic changes, accompanied by a distinct pattern of clonal cytogenetic abnormalities, give rise to acute myelogenous leukemia. Characterization of these clonal chromosomal aberrations, together with observed alterations in other growth-promoting genes, provides a useful framework for studying chemical leukemogenesis and for use in understanding the origins and development of leukemia in general.

T1  - Myeloid leukemia after hematotoxins.
AN  - 21257262; 11703669
AB  - One of the most serious consequences of cancer therapy is the development of a second cancer, especially leukemia. Several distinct subsets of therapy-related leukemia can now be distinguished. Classic therapy-related myeloid leukemia typically occurs 5 to 7 years after exposure to alkylating agents and/or irradiation, has a myelodysplastic phase with trilineage involvement, and is characterized by abnormalities of the long arms of chromosomes 5 and/or 7. Response to treatment is poor, and allogenic bone marrow transplantation is recommended. Leukemia following treatment with agents that inhibit topoisomerase II, however, has a shorter latency, no preleukemic phase, a monoblastic, myelomonocytic, or myeloblastic phenotype, and balanced translocations, most commonly involving chromosome bands 11q23 or 21q22. The MLL gene at 11q23 or the AML1 gene at 21q22 are almost uniformly rearranged. MLL is involved with many fusion gene partners. Therapy-related acute lymphoblastic leukemia also occurs with 11q23 rearrangements. Therapy-related leukemias with 11q23 or 21q22 rearrangements, inv(16) or t(15; 17), have a more favorable response to treatment and a clinical course similar to their de novo counterparts.

T1  - Suitability of S-phenyl mercapturic acid and trans-trans-muconic acid as biomarkers for exposure to low concentrations of benzene.
AN  - 21251794; 11701780
AB  - Phenol is not reliable as a biomarker for exposure to benzene at concentrations below 5 ppm (8-hr time-weighted average [TWA]). S-Phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) and trans-trans-muconic acid (tt-MA), two minor urinary metabolites of benzene, have been proposed as biomarkers for low-level exposures. The aim of this study was to compare their suitability as biomarkers. S-PMA and tt-MA were determined in 434 urine samples collected from 188 workers in various settings in the petrochemical industry and from 52 control workers with no occupational exposure to benzene. Benzene concentrations in the breathing zone of the potentially exposed workers were assessed by personal air monitoring. Strong correlations were found between S-PMA and tt-MA concentrations in end-of-shift samples and between either of these parameters and airborne benzene concentrations. Exposure to 1 ppm benzene (8-hr TWA) leads to an average concentration in end-of-shift samples of 21 mol S-PMA and 1.5 mmol tt-MA per mol creatinine. Of an inhaled dose of benzene, on average 0.11% (range 0.05-0.26%) was excreted as S-PMA with an apparent elimination half-life of 9.1 (standard error [SE] 0.7) hr and 3.9% (range 1.9-7.3%) as tt-MA with a half-life of 5.0 (SE 0.5) hr. Due to its longer elimination half-life, S-PMA proved a more reliable biomarker than tt-MA for benzene exposures during 12-hr shifts. Specificity of S-PMA, but not tt-MA, was sufficient to discriminate between the 14 moderate smokers and the 38 nonsmokers from the control group. The mean urinary S-PMA was 1.71 (SE 0.27) in smokers and 0.94 (SE 0.15) mol/mol creatinine in nonsmokers (p = 0.013). The mean urinary tt-MA was 0.046 (SE 0.010) in smokers and 0.029 (SE 0.013) mmol/mol creatinine in nonsmokers (p = 0.436). The inferior specificity of tt-MA was due to relatively high background values of up to 0.56 mmol/mol creatinine, which may be found in nonexposed individuals and limits the use of tt-MA to concentrations of benzene over 1 ppm (8-hr TWA). We conclude that S-PMA is superior to tt-MA as a biomarker for low-level benzene exposures because it is more specific, enabling reliable determination of benzene exposures down to 0.3 ppm (8-hr TWA), and because its longer half-life makes it more suited for biological monitoring of operators working in shifts longer than 8 hr.

T1  - Species differences in the metabolism of benzene.
AN  - 21251782; 11701769
AB  - The pathways of metabolism of benzene appear to be qualitatively similar in all species studied thus far. However, there are quantitative differences in the fraction of benzene metabolized by the different pathways. These species differences become important for risk assessments based on animal data. Mice have a greater overall capacity to metabolize benzene than rats or primates, based on mass balance studies conducted in vivo using radiolabled benzene. Mice and monkeys metabolize more of the benzene to hydroquinone metabolites than do rats or chimpanzees, especially at low doses. Nonhuman primates metabolize less of the benzene to muconic acid than do rodents or humans. In all species studied, a greater proportion of benzene is converted to hydroquinone and ring-breakage metabolites at low doses than at high doses. This finding should be considered in attempting to extrapolate the toxicity of benzene observed at high doses to predicted toxicity at low doses. Because ring-breakage metabolites and hydroquinone have both been implicated in the toxicity of benzene, the higher formation of those metabolites in the mouse may partially explain why mice are more sensitive to benzene than are rats. Metabolism of benzene in humans, the species of interest, does not exactly mimic that of any animal species studied. More information on the urinary and blood metabolites of occupationally exposed people is required to determine the fractional conversion of benzene to putative toxic metabolites and the degree of variability present in human subjects.

T1  - The Fort Opportunities for an effective urban conservation strategy in Bombay
AN  - 19942955; 6132355
AB  - A common scenario in Third World countries is that with the overriding social, economic and political implications being so complex and vast, the actual resolution to urban problems and issues is often lost and the planning process stalls at the problem identification stage. The key to the resolution of the urban decline affecting the central business district of Bombay, Fort, is in accepting and understanding its cultural and architectural significance to the city, its potential to continue as the financial centre with the influx of multinational offices being set up in the city, and to stop the degeneration of a district which already has large-scale formal and informal sector investment. The main argument of the paper is that time is ripe for an innovative conservation strategy. The proposed strategy begins with an action plan that would be essential should a program for conservation be accepted by the city's decision makers. It is a move away from the current piecemeal approach of identifying singular buildings for preservation, and pursues a more holistic approach to protect, regulate and retain the built, economic and social fabric of Fort. Encouraged by the Kanga Commission's initiatives, the proposed approach shows the steps towards a bold but manageable long-term solution.

T1  - Lattice vibrations of montmorillonite: an FT Raman and X-ray diffraction study
AN  - 1849296355; 2016-104076
AB  - The lattice vibrations of a series of dioctahedral montmorillonitic clay minerals were studied using FT Raman spectroscopy. The lattice vibrations are assigned in terms of the molecular vibrations of (a) the distorted octahedron MO (sub 6) with symmetry S (sub 6) in the region 50-200 cm (super -1) , (b) the O-H-O isosceles triangle of C (sub 2v) symmetry in the 200 to 270 cm (super -1) and (c) distorted SiO (sub 4) tetrahedra of symmetry C (sub 3v) in the region 300 to 1200 cm (super -1) . The application of FT Raman spectroscopy to the analysis of montmorillonitic clay structure is elucidated. A series of montmorillonites with different weathering profiles from the Cressfield deposit in Australia were analysed by both FT Raman and X-ray diffraction. The FT Raman spectra of the Cressfield bentonites are shown to be a function of clay crystallinity. X-ray diffraction identified the changes in the montmorillonitic lattice as weathering occurs. The variation in the 001 d spacing changed from 17.53 to 17.36 Aa and the CDS value increased from 126 to 148 Aa, indicating an increase in both the order and crystallinity of the montmorillonite on ageing. FT Raman spectroscopy identified changes in the lattice vibrational modes as this weathering is taking place. Abstract Copyright (1996) Elsevier, B.V.

T1  - Introduction: Disturbance and Caribbean ecosystems
AN  - 16354915; 4314893
AB  - The fifteen articles in this special issue describe long-term ( greater than or equal to 5 years) responses or perspectives on disturbance in Caribbean ecosystems. Most (11) of the articles describe the responses of Caribbean forests to hurricane disturbance, particularly the effects of Hurricane Hugo on wet forest in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), Puerto Rico. Ten articles discuss, alone or in addition to hurricanes, the effects of other types of disturbance including that due to humans, treefalls, drought, and landslides. In this introductory article we summarize the post-hurricane trajectories of various ecosystem components in the LEF. We also address how responses to other types of disturbance can be brought together to obtain a more thorough understanding of the comparative responses of Caribbean ecosystems to different disturbances. Finally, we identify those areas of disturbance ecology in the Caribbean that require further investigation.

AB  - This manual documents software (Flownet Analysis Software, or FAS) written by Rameri Salama as part of the HARSD (Hydrogeomorphological Analysis of Regional Spatial Data) methodology for groundwater investigations under the Catchment Management and Dryland Salinity Program of the CSIRO Division of Water Resources. Given a hydraulic head surface (typically from a spatial database), the software generates a set of equipotential lines and lines orthogonal to the potential gradient. Fluxes along the stream tubes defined by these lines, as calculated using one-dimensional application of Darcy's Law, are determined following the user's specification of spatially distributed inputs (such as recharge) and control parameters (such a transmissivity). This tool can be used to asses the potential changes in groundwater discharge resulting from management or climatic scenarios that may change either the spatial pattern or rate of recharge.

T1  - Dryland salinity risk assessment in the Loddon and Campaspe catchments. Management of GIS data
AN  - 16087730; 4112599
AB  - The development and application of GIS-based techniques for predicting changes in groundwater discharge and associated dryland salinity in the Loddon and Campaspe catchments in northern Victoria involved the assembly, collation and analysis of very large datasets. These datasets include surface elevations, bore hydrographs, streamflow and stream salt loads from a number of sources. The value of this effort is two-fold: (1) the analyses contain herein are the basis of the HARSD and WAVES modelling predictions as well as the geographic interpretation of remotely-sensed data, and (2) the error-checked database thus produced forms an ongoing resource to land agencies working within the Loddon-Campaspe system for further analyses. This technical memorandum serves as a manifest of this database, as well as presenting the myriad analytical results involved in salinity risk assessment under the Natural Resource Management Strategy project, Risk Analysis for Dryland Salinity Assessment, a collaborative project between the CSIRO Division of Water Resources and the Centre for Land Protection Research.

T1  - Historical information on carp in Australia: An evaluation for scientific purposes
AN  - 16084497; 4112602
AB  - The usefulness is assessed of information records, other than refereed scientific journal publications, on carp Cyprinus carpio L., an introduced fish now common throughout the Murray-Darling Basin. There is a need for such an assessment because of the relatively limited amount of scientific research on carp in Australia. For convenience, information was categorised into four types according to the medium from which it was obtained: visual, oral, written, and biological specimens. Examples of each of these were assessed using criteria describing biological content, reliability, and accessibility. The examples considered were photographs, newspapers, commercial catch records, anecdotes, and museum collections. Findings confirmed expectations. All were of some benefit in establishing carp distribution, but that benefit varied widely between types. Abundance was not well described except by commercial catch records. Little other ecological information was noted. Despite historical records having limited application to environmental impact assessment, such qualitative and informal information may contribute to environmental understanding when complete scientific data is unavailable.

T1  - Meeting community needs for monitoring catchment health
AN  - 16084318; 4112601
AB  - The need for monitoring catchment health stems from uncertainty or ignorance about the trend of environmental changes which could impact on future food production and water supply. This uncertainty gives rise to inaction because how can we assess the financial risk of doing nothing against implementing schemes that have no certainty of solving the problem? Many existing monitoring schemes are considered unlikely to remove this uncertainty. The reasons why community-based monitoring has had little effect on catchment health are outlined here. Reasons include not making use of existing information, differences in societal values among catchment users, resistance to change, as well as operational and institutional constraints. The idea of an "environmental report card" has been suggested as a means of assessing the catchment condition and monitoring trends in catchment health. Such a report card would be based on a set of carefully selected catchment health indicators - that is, measurable attributes of the environment, landscapes, productivity, management skills, etc, that can be monitored via field observation, field sampling, remote sensing, or the compilation of existing data. In many situations the appropriate collectors and users of the data are community self-help groups. Walker and Reuter (1996) have overviewed the indicator approach as applied to catchment health and suggested how indicators can be selected and interpreted. Here, some of the impediments to adoption of these indicators are identified. To successfully implement a programme of catchment health indicators, it is critical to appreciate that catchments comprise social as well as biophysical entities. This paraphrases recent research in the social sciences. The dilemma is that in many cases indicators are too complicated or require strict sampling procedures, so that community groups are turned off. Conversely, the developers of indicators may not appreciate the ownership issue and social impediments to adoption. To succeed, monitoring procedures must be embedded within resource planning and management processes. These include farm plans, property management plans, catchment plans, local government planning, and whole catchment management. The responsibility and the mandate for who does what, and how the information is used to produce a change in behaviour, should be clearly defined.

T1  - Application and sensitivity analysis of process-based erosion model GUEST
AN  - 16032910; 4096457
AB  - As long-term measurement of erosion is expensive, models are required to predict spatial and temporal variation in erosion accurately for various land uses and to develop suitable practices for soil conservation. Details of the steady-state, process-based erosion model GUEST are presented with emphasis on the behaviour and sensitivity of the model to a fundamental erodibility parameter J. The model is developed to interpret temporal fluctuation in sediment concentration from bare soil in single erosion events. It incorporates the simultaneous effects of rainfall and runoff and of deposition on sediment concentration. An example of its application to temporal variation in sediment concentration for varying slopes and soil strengths show reasonable agreement between the measured data and the limits of sediment concentration predicted by the model. Sensitivity analysis indicated the model to be most sensitive to land slope and a defined sediment characteristic called depositability, but not as sensitive to frequency and dimensions of rills.

T1  - Soils and plants in integrated catchment management: From process models to catchment health indicators
AN  - 16027920; 4095224
AB  - In addressing the question of where plants and soils fit into integrated catchment management we argue that an approach beyond a reductionist paradigm is needed. Catchments are comprised of a spatially variable set of biophysical factors in which plants and soil are open to manipulation. At the same time, catchments also comprise users, and the functioning and health of catchments are often set by societal values rather than biophysical limits, which can lead to degradation or an unstable system. A conditionally stable system, with defined limits, may represent the appropriate paradigm. To develop this idea, the main soil and plant factors controlling catchment function were defined using a process-based modelling approach at several spatial scales. Key plant and soil attributes were considered to be: leaf area index (LAI), soil hydraulic conductivity, soil nutrient availability, rooting depth, topography, and groundwater quality and quantity. Having defined the major biophysical controls, the question is: how can this information be used to better manage catchments? An indicator approach that can be used by the catchment users is outlined. This approach depends on defining the condition of the catchment and monitoring trends in key but easily measured attributes (indicators). Empowering the users of the catchment with the information to make decisions, which leads to a conditionally stable system, is the key to successful integrated catchment management. This document comprises the text of a paper presented to the International Conference on Multiple Land Use and Catchment Management held at Aberdeen, U.K., on 11-13 September 1996.

T1  - Effect of nutritional status on lymphocyte responses in children with Shigella flexneri infection
AN  - 15936968; 4050944
AB  - The peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) phenotype (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD20 and CD57), spontaneous proliferation of PBMC, proliferation of PBMC in response to Concanavalin A (ConA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses (by skin tests) were measured in 55 children, 12-60 months of age, of whom 17 were children with S. flexneri infection and 38 were age-matched uninfected control children. All mitogens were tested in the presence of foetal bovine serum but PHA responses were additionally tested in the presence of autologous plasma. Because the nutritional status (determined as weight-for-age as a percentage of the National Centre for Health Statistics median) affected the lymphocyte responses, children were stratified into less than or equal to 65% (poorly nourished) and > 65-75% (better nourished) weight-for-age subgroups. Compared with uninfected children, poorly nourished children with S. flexneri infection had a lower CD4/CD8 ratio, a higher spontaneous proliferation of PBMC, a lower stimulation index with ConA and a lower stimulation index with PHA in the presence of autologous plasma. In the better nourished subgroup, the only difference was increased numbers of CD25+ PBMC in children with S. flexneri infection than in uninfected children. Furthermore, transferrin levels in plasma were found to correlate positively with weight-for-age as well as clinical severity of illness so that poorly nourished children with S. flexneri infection were more severely ill. We conclude that malnutrition in children with S. flexneri infection is characterized by altered T lymphocyte responses and severe illness.

T1  - Modelling hydrologic processes using a biophysically based model - Application of WAVES to FIFE and HAPEX-MOBILHY
AN  - 15784428; 3988661
AB  - A biophysically based model (WAVES) is described which predicts the dynamic interactions within the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system. The physiological control on transpiration is a canopy resistance calculated as a function of net CO sub(2) assimilation rate, the vapour pressure deficit and the CO sub(2) concentration at the leaf surface. The soil hydrology is modelled using the Richards equation and evapotranspiration is calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation. A unique feature of the model is the modification of the vapour pressure deficit below the canopy as a function of the degree of atmospheric coupling. The model was tested using the energy flux and soil moisture measurements from the First ISLSCP Field Experiment (FIFE) and Hydrologic Atmospheric Pilot Experiment and Modelisation du Bilan Hydrique (HAPEX-MOBILHY). The simulated net radiation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture content agreed well with the observations and with previous studies of transpiration and soil evaporation. The success of the model was due to the reasonably realistic treatment of the soil and canopy processes. The utility and limitations of the model are discussed.

T1  - Distribution of Blood Lead Levels in a Birth Cohort of New Zealanders at Age 21
AN  - 14438515; 10529259
AB  - The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, conducted in New Zealand, involves a birth cohort of approximately 1000 individuals with well-documented personal and occupational life histories. Blood lead levels were determined in this sample at age 21 yr, and the data were compared with those collected at age 11 yr. Blood Pb levels ranged 0.456 mu g/dl. The geometric mean for males was higher than for females. Blood Pb levels at age 21 were approximately 53% lower than those found at age 11. Blood Pb levels at age 21 were correlated with a number of factors, including high-risk occupations, recreational exposure, living close to main roads, smoking, and sex.

T1  - Public Perceptions of a Radioactively Contaminated Site: Concerns, Remediation Preferences, and Desired Involvement
AN  - 14437639; 10529262
AB  - In St. Louis, MO, controversy has emerged over proposed remediation strategies for DOE Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program sites that would leave considerable amounts of contaminated materials within the community. In 1994, DOE proposed two remediation options: adding more radioactive materials to those already located at the airport and placing a concrete cover over the storage area, or excavating the materials on the property and constructing a bunker on-site to contain the materials. Both options have met with significant opposition from residents and local and state officials. Results are presented from a survey conducted in the area that examined public perceptions of the remediation efforts and desired public involvement. The most highly ranked site concerns were found to be surface water and groundwater contamination, desire for public involvement, and potential health risks. Overall, residents living adjacent to the site wanted the remedial decisions to be transparent, sensible, and cost-effective.

T1  - The Influence of Atmospheric Chromium on Selenium Contents and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in Blood of Tannery Workers
AN  - 14437637; 10529256
AB  - Atmospheric chromium concentrations were measured at a tannery in Gniezno, Poland, and blood samples were collected from 34 tannery workers and analyzed for concentrations of selenium and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and for glutathione peroxidase activity. Urine samples were also collected and analyzed for Se. A statistically significant decrease in Se concentration in blood and a statistically significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were found in the tannery workers compared with controls. Workers exposed to high concentrations of Cr in air exhibited decreased Se concentration in blood and increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances concentration in blood plasma. In addition a positive linear correlation was found in the workers between Se concentrations in blood and urine, and between the concentrations of Se in plasma and in urine. Increased erythrocyte and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity was also observed in the workers exposed to high Cr concentrations.

T1  - A QSAR Evaluation of Ah Receptor Binding of Halogenated Aromatic Xenobiotics
AN  - 14437614; 10529255
AB  - One way of predicting the toxic effects of chemicals is the estimation of their binding to a common intracellular cytosolic protein called the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which controls the induction of hepatic cytochrome P4501A and associated enzyme activities. The mechanistic concepts of AhR binding were used to develop a robust quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) model applicable to multiple classes of chemicals. Literature data of AhR binding for a variety of PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs with different substituent patterns were used, along with an approach that exhaustively explored the importance of all energetically feasible conformations for each chemical. The generation and selection of the conformations are described. The resulting QSARs are presented, which are shown to be robust for multiple classes of halogenated aromatic compounds.

T1  - p53 Mutations Associated with Breast, Colorectal, Liver, Lung, and Ovarian Cancers
AN  - 14437599; 10529258
AB  - Several studies have found that, in cancer cells derived from tumors in different organs, p53 mutational spectra can be seen as the fingerprints of the carcinogens that cause the cancer. This finding is extended by analyzing an internationally available data base of p53 mutations. Differences in frequent codon sites in five cancers-breast, colorectal, liver, lung, and ovarian-are characterized, and differences by cancer in base pair changes at six codon sites are examined. Results show that the five most frequent sites of p53 mutations are different in breast, colorectal, lung, liver, and ovarian cancers, and the variation in hot spots is not explained by the predominance of specific base pair changes in each cancer. The most commonly found base pair changes are described and compared.

Results are presented from a study that examined the effects of daily health practice factors on 8-OHdG levels in leukocytes. The factors examined included: physical exercise, smoking, alcohol use, nutrition, and mental stress. None of the factors showed any significant difference in 8-OHdG levels between groups in either polymorphonuclear leukocytes or mononuclear leukocytes. However, when acetaldehyde-dehydrogenase 2 isozyme genotypes were examined, which is an enzyme showing sensitivity to alcohol, habitual alcohol intake was found to increase 8-OHdG in polymorphonuclear leukocytes from enzyme-deficient groups.

T1  - Assessing Environmental Chemicals for Estrogenicity Using a Combination of in Vitro and in Vivo Assays
AN  - 14436536; 10529254
AB  - Ten known or alleged estrogenic chemicals were tested using assays that assessed estrogenic activity at three different levels of action. They included: competitive binding with the estrogen receptor that used a cell-free system and was reflected in the binding of 17 beta -estradiol; human HeLa cells transfected with an estrogen receptor and an estrogen response element linked to a chloramphenical acetyl transferase reporter gene; and estrogen-responsive tissue in an intact animal, using the weanling mouse uterotropic assay. The combination of the three assays was found to provide a rational and informative approach to assessing the estrogenicity of the chemicals. The results were consistent among all three assays. The test data are tabulated.

T1  - Improving the Well-Being of Abused and Neglected Children. Hearing on Exploring How the Well-Being of Abused and Neglected Children Can Be Improved through Clarifying the Reasonable Efforts Requirement of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act To Make the Child's Health and Safety the Primary Concern, before the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session.
AN  - 62579532; ED405094
AB  - This hearing transcript presents testimony exploring how the well-being of abused and neglected children can be improved through an amendment clarifying the "reasonable efforts" requirement of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act (1980) to allow the child's health and safety to take precedence over parents' rights. Testimony begins with a statement from Ohio Senator DeWine, which notes the frequency with which abused or neglected children are returned to unsafe or unhealthy home environments, and the number of children in foster care for longer than 2 years. Additional testimony in support of the change is presented from: (1) the acting assistant secretary for Children and Families, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Olivia A. Golden; (2) the director of the University of Rhode Island's Family Violence Research Program, Richard J. Gelles; (3) director of Montgomery County (Ohio) Children Services Board, Helen Leonhart-Jones; and (4) director, Los Angeles County (California) Department of Children and Family Services, Peter Digre. Additional statements, articles, and correspondence--both anecdotal and research-based, are appended from Senator Jeffords, the speakers, and the Child Welfare League of America. (HTH)

T1  - Literacy of Older Adults in America. Results from the National Adult Literacy Survey.
AN  - 62609450; ED402513
AB  - The 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) examined three types of literacy--prose, document, and quantitative--among the entire older adult population and various subgroups thereof. Of the nationally representative sample of 26,091 adults interviewed during the NALS, 2,267 were aged 60-69, 1,005 were aged 70-79, and 442 were at least 80 years old. Among the main findings were the following: (1) 71% of adults over age 60 demonstrated limited prose skills, and 68% had difficulty finding/processing quantitative information; (2) even when education, language background, and visual impairments were held constant, adults over 60 demonstrated weaker literacy proficiency than their under-60 counterparts; (3) literacy skills were higher among those older adults who were employed or retired and volunteering and those with annual incomes above $10,000; and (4) compared with younger adults, older adults were more likely to report not learning certain literacy skills at all or in school and were less likely to read, write, and use arithmetic in their daily lives. (Sixty-three tables/figures are included. Appended are the following: information on interpreting the literacy scales; 12 additional tables; overview of survey procedures; definitions of subpopulations and variables; and participants in the survey development process and information about the authors.)

T1  - Findings from Vocational Education in the United States: The Early 1990s.
AN  - 62606296; ED403460
AB  - Vocational course taking declined between 1982 and 1992, with especially large enrollment decreases occurring in general labor market preparation and consumer/homemaking education. Only a small proportion of 1992 high school graduates specialized in vocational education (VE). Among occupationally specific VE programs, business, and trade and industry had the highest enrollments. Special populations tended to participate more heavily in VE than did other high school graduates in 1992. A recent study established that vocational course taking and National Assessment of Educational Progress math scores have an unexplained inverse relationship. In 1991, public school vocational teachers served fewer students than did nonvocational teachers. In 1990, postsecondary vocational students accounted for approximately one-third of all undergraduates and one-half of all nonbaccalaureate students. At the postsecondary level, business was the most common major for vocational students, and community colleges had the largest vocational student enrollment. Vocational completers were more likely to be employers than were other individuals who do not participate in postsecondary education, and employment in fields related to postsecondary vocational completers' concentration was associated with higher earnings. Nonbaccalaureate students of low socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to be vocational majors than were students with high SES. (Contains 13 figures/tables.) (MN)
