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.)

Postsecondary Education Descriptive Analysis Reports. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62608908; ED402857 AB - This report presents tables and narrative that detail enrollment and persistence trends in postsecondary education participation of nontraditional students. The report uses data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Studies of 1986-87, 1989-90, and 1992-93; and from the second followup of the 1989-90 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study which was conducted in the spring of 1994. A nontraditional student is defined as possessing one or more of the following characteristics: delayed enrollment into postsecondary education; attended part time; financially independent; worked full time while enrolled; had dependents other than a spouse; was a single parent; or did not obtain a standard high school diploma. Among major findings are: (1) a majority of undergraduates in all three surveys were at least minimally nontraditional; (2) while nontraditional students were concentrated in two-year institutions, their numbers also grew at four-year institutions; and (3) nontraditional students were much less likely to earn a degree within 5 years and more likely to quit school than their traditional counterparts. Enrollment trends are presented in tables and narrative according to each individual characteristic and according to whether students are minimally (1 characteristic), moderately (2 or 3 characteristics), or highly (4 or more characteristics) nontraditional. Appendices contain a glossary and technical notes and methodology. (MAH) AU - Horn, Laura J. AU - Carroll, Dennis C.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62585930; ED402858 AB - This is the second publication released from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF), a study about faculty and instructional staff in U.S. higher education institutions. The document presents findings from the institution survey of NSOPF-93 regarding their policies and practices toward faculty and staff, including: full-time, part-time permanent, temporary, instructional faculty and staff, and non-instructional faculty. Data reported include: (1) number and distribution of full- and part-time faculty and staff; (2) movement of full-time faculty and staff from their institutions; (3) distribution of tenure systems and tenured faculty; and (4) benefits provided to different groups of faculty and instructional staff. The survey found that, among other things, U.S. institutions of higher education employed approximately 1 million faculty and instructional staff in the fall of 1992, and 90 percent had instruction as their major regular assignment. There was about a 1 percent increase in the number of permanent full time instructional faculty and staff between fall 1991 and fall 1992, despite the fact that 6 percent of permanent full time instructional faculty and staff left their institutions because of retirement, downsizing, or other reasons.

Survey & scale data from 83 female & 17 male caregivers ages 31-81 in TX suggest that the depression so frequently described in the literature may not be as severe or clinically significant as previously thought, & it may be more precisely described as anticipatory grief. Viewing caregivers' apparent depression as being the result of grief over the losses they are experiencing may assist practitioners in planning & evaluating the effectiveness of clinical interventions for this growing group of clients. 38 References.

We investigated the effect of four salinities between fresh water (0 g kg super(-1)) and sea water (35 g kg super(-1)) on growth rate, cell yield, cell dry weight and toxicity of strains isolated from three Australian populations and studied under controlled environmental conditions in the laboratory. Growth rates were significantly lower at 0 g kg super(-1) than at the higher salinities, and cell yields at 0 and 35 g kg super(-1) were lower than at 12 and 24 g kg super(-1) salinity. This indicates that salinity extremes do not favour N. spumigena bloom development. Salinity affected nodularin content in the logarithmic phase of growth: as salinity increased, toxin content decreased, on both a dry weight and a per cell basis. In the stationary phase of growth, nodularin content was lowest at 35 g kg super(-1) salinity. It increased significantly between logarithmic and stationary phases of growth. Cell mass (dry weight per cell) was not affected by growth phase. Our results indicate that mature blooms will be more toxic than developing ones because of their greater biomass and higher toxin content (on both dry weight and per cell bases).

This aquifer is strongly influenced by tidal fluctuations in the bordering Port Adelaide River. Least-squares techniques were used to determine functions correlating the fluctuations observed in the monitored bores with the tidal levels measured at a nearby tidal gauging station. These correlation functions were then used to correct measured pumping drawdowns for tidal influences. Standard steady and transient pumping analyses were applied to the corrected drawdown traces to estimate hydraulic conductivity and storage coefficient for the aquifer. Analytical expressions for the propagation of periodic fluctuations through aquifers were also used to estimate hydraulic conductivity. The results indicate a hydraulic conductivity of the order of 3-10 m/d with a storage coefficient of approximately 0.002. The low value of storage coefficient may indicate confining conditions in the aquifer. This is supported by the observation of thin, resistive peaty layers in the soil profile, and increasing confinement with depth in the aquifer. Measurements of anisotropic hydraulic conductivities were not attempted. JF - CSIRO DIV. WATER RESOURCES, GPO BOX 1666, CANBERRA ACT 2601 (AUSTRALIA). Nov 1996.

For this purpose groundwater is usually pumped from unconfined aquifers. In order to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of sub-surface drainage with tube wells, decisions must be made regarding well locations and pumping rates. In this research work, two optimisation models were developed for the purpose of optimising well sites and pumping rates simultaneously to control shallow groundwater tables. The linear programming model WELLMAN-C models pumping water from confined aquifers. The quadratic programming model WELLMAN-U models pumping water from unconfined aquifers. The objective of both models is to minimise total regional pumping rate whilst lowering groundwater tables to or below the given critical levels within a specified time period. Another quadratic programming model RECH-U was developed to estimate net recharge rates to unconfined aquifers. The optimisation models were applied to the Wakool Irrigation District (WID). It was assumed that optimal well locations could be chosen from any potential well sites, and were not restricted to cells where a pump was already in operation. The results from the optimisation models were reasonably verified with the results from the simulation model. JF - CSIRO DIV. WATER RESOURCES, GPO BOX 1666, CANBERRA ACT 2601 (AUSTRALIA). Nov 1996.

For chronic exposures, daphnids were exposed to DTPA at high or low food levels, or to Fe(III)-DTPA at high food level until the 6th reproductive instar. The 48 h LC sub(50)s of DTPA and Fe(III)-DTPA to D. carinata were 245 mg/L and >1,000 mg/L, respectively. Chronic exposure to 10 mg/L DTPA resulted in a significant reduction in all individual brood sizes, while it increased the age at each reproductive instar. Ten mg/L DTPA also significantly decreased the cumulative number of offspring per adult at high and low food level from 161.3 plus or minus 14.6 to 11.3 plus or minus 4.9 offspring, and 56.4 plus or minus 1.8 to 0 plus or minus 0 offspring, respectively, while a similar effect was observed for the number of offspring per adult per day. Both the 3rd and 5th brood sizes were also significantly reduced at 1 mg/L DTPA, but only at high food level, from 39.0 plus or minus 2.9 to 27.6 plus or minus 3.8 offspring, and 49.3 plus or minus 5.0 to 39.9 plus or minus 4.2 offspring, respectively. Chronic exposure to Fe(III)-DTPA had little effect on D. carinata, but there was a significant negative relationship between Fe(III)-DTPA and the number of offspring per adult per day (y = -0.024x + 14.048, r super(2) = 0.20, n = 26, P < 0.02). This was due to a 25% reduction in reproduction at 134 mg/L Fe(III)-DTPA, the highest test concentration, compared to controls. The no-observed-effect concentrations (NOEC) and lowest-observed-effect concentrations (LOEC) for DTPA and Fe(III)-DTPA following chronic exposure to D. carinata were 1.0 and 10 mg/L and 67 and 134 mg /L, respectively, although the possibility of effects occurring below 10 mg/L DTPA could not be discounted. Exposure to DTPA prior to 1st brood embryogenesis significantly decreased the 1st brood size but did not affect the 2nd brood size, while exposure during 1st brood embryogenesis significantly decreased the 2nd brood size, but did not affect the 1st brood size, indicating the reproductive impairment was due to maternally-mediated factors and not direct toxicity to the eggs. The decrease in DTPA toxicity when complexed with Fe(III) was attributed to preferential binding with that metal, thereby limiting any further chelating ability. Concentrations of DTPA in receiving waters are unlikely to be toxic to D. carinata.

One hundred fifteen children between 12 and 60 months of age with S. dysenteriae 1 infection were studied. Of these children, 42 had complications (leukemoid reaction and/or hemolytic-uremic syndrome [complicated shigellosis]) and 73 had no complications (uncomplicated shigellosis). Antibodies to the LPS of S. dysenteriae 1 and Shigella flexneri Y were measured in plasma and stools, as were total immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG concentrations in plasma and the total IgA concentration in stool, on enrollment and 3 to 5 days later. In the plasma, the concentrations of homologous (IgG) and heterologous (IgA) LPS antibodies on enrollment were higher in children with complicated shigellosis than in those with uncomplicated shigellosis. In stool, the concentrations on enrollment were similar between the two groups of children. There was a rise in antibody concentrations in the plasma (homologous and heterologous) and stool (homologous) between the day of enrollment and 3 to 5 days later in children with uncomplicated shigellosis but not in those with complicated shigellosis. These findings suggest that systemic stimulation is more marked in children with complications, so that a subsequent rise in plasma antibody concentrations does not occur in these children. In contrast, the lack of a rise in stool antibody concentrations in children with complicated shigellosis is suggestive of a lower-level mucosal response. Because the duration of diarrhea before enrollment influenced the homologous antibody concentrations, children were further divided into three subgroups (short [3 to 5 days], medium [6 to 9 days], and long [>9 days] diarrhea durations before enrollment). Comparisons of homologous antibody concentrations between the two groups of children following such subdivisions showed that in children with complicated shigellosis, antibody concentrations were higher in the plasma of children in the short diarrhea duration subgroup but lower in the stool of children in the medium diarrhea duration subgroup. No differences in antibody concentrations were observed in children in the other diarrhea duration subgroups. Thus, complications in shigellosis are associated with an early and strong systemic stimulation without a concomitant stimulation of the mucosal antibody response.

Based on the EC sub(50) values after 5 and 15 min of exposure, i.e. 5 min EC sub(50) and 15 min EC sub(50), respectively, the hypochlorite bleaching stage (H-H) effluent in the Thai mill was most toxic (EC sub(50) were about 0.1% of the undiluted effluent) but still comparable with corresponding data obtained for COGIDO (0.4-0.5%). In BAPACO, toxicity of the effluent from the hypochlorite stages (H1 and H2) was much lower with the EC sub(50) in the range of 38-83%. The chlorination (C) stage effluent in COGIDO with the 15 min EC sub(50) of 18% was less toxic while the 15 min EC sub(50) of this stage effluent was almost the same for both BAPACO and the Thai mill. the EC sub(50) of the alkali-extraction (E) stage effluent were almost in the same range in all three mills. The combined effluent from the bleaching process was the most toxic in the Thai mill (EC sub(50) = 0.4%), second toxic in COGIDO (8-10%) and the least toxic in BAPACO (14-24%). TEF (toxicity emission factors) values of this effluent show the same ranking: highest for the Thai mill (15 000) followed by COGIDO with much lower TEF (1200) and the least was BAPACO (800). A less-than-additive, i.e. antagonistic, mode of toxicity was found for the combined effluent from bleaching plants and for various other combined effluents in the three mills. The bleaching plant is the largest toxicity source in terms of TEF in BAPACO, but not in COGIDO where the discharge of black liquor is the largest contribution of toxicity. For this reason, the total toxicity discharged from COGIDO with TEF > 6000 was much higher than BAPACO with TEF of 750. For the Thai mill, the TEF of the pond system effluent alone was already much higher than TEF of the other two mills. Good house-keeping and process control improvement may greatly reduce acute toxicity from the mill. JF - Resources, Conservation and Recycling. Nov 1996.

The more complicated flow-proportional compositing (FC) method is required only for effluents with larger variation coefficients or to produce more precise results. The diagram constructed for selection of sampling frequencies indicates that sequential sampling at intervals of approximately 60 min may be applied with E less than or equal to 10% for effluents characterized by variation coefficients less than or equal to 30%. Practical application of the diagrams, constructed using normal series, was checked against monitoring data from two pulp and paper mills in Vietnam. The two diagrams provided results on sampling methods and frequencies in good agreement with those obtained from actual monitoring data with percentages of agreement cases of 80 and 75%, respectively. The approach was applied in design of a monitoring program at the Bai Bang integrated pulp and paper mill in Vietnam. JF - Resources, Conservation and Recycling. Nov 1996.

This can be achieved through promotion of economically efficient and environmentally sound practices in managing municipal waste. Recycling can be promoted by encouraging separation at source. The best way of waste separation at source can be stimulated by financial incentives, legislation and raising of environmental awareness. In Bangkok, 90% of the solid waste is disposed of by open dumping. Around each disposal site, there are a number of small scale recycling shops (SSR) where collected materials are sold by the collection crews and the scavengers. Open dumping has been found to create environmental problems because of air pollution, bad smell, presence of insects and rodents which are injurious to health, and potential contamination of ground water. It is recommended therefore, that open dumping should be converted to a sanitary landfill with proper environmental protection measures in order to minimize environmental pollution. However, it is also proposed that the government, if possible, should adopt the waste-to-energy treatment system since it is not possible by sanitary landfill to eliminate all the negative impacts to the environment.

The ranges, central tendencies, and distributions of several key parameter values were identified for dominant organisms from various trophic levels, including the polychaete Nereis virens, mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), and striped bass (Morone saxatilis). The exposure factors of interest included ingestion rate for various food sources, growth rate, respiration rate, excretion rate, body weight, wet/dry weight ratio, lipid content, chemical assimilation efficiency, and food assimilation efficiency. These exposure factors are critical to the execution of mechanistic food web models, which, when properly calibrated, can be used to estimate tissue concentrations of nonionic chemicals in aquatic organisms based on knowledge of the bioenergetics and feeding interactions within a food web and the sediment and water concentrations of chemicals. In this article we describe the use of distributions for various exposure factors in the context of a mechanistic bioaccumulation model that is amenable to probabilistic analyses for multiple organisms within a food web. A case study is provided which compares the estimated versus measured concentrations of five polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in a representative food web from the tidal portion of the Passaic River, New Jersey, USA. The results suggest that the model is accurate within an order of magnitude or less in estimating the bioaccumulation of PCBs in this food web without calibration. The results of a model sensitivity analysis suggest that the input parameters which most influence the output of the model are both chemical and organism specific.

Apprentice spray painters from the study were subdivided into high- and low-solvent-exposure groups. Concentrations of individual serum bile acids (SBA) were measured and compared with conventional liver function tests (LFTs). Total, free, glycine- and taurine-conjugated SBA were consistently found to be present at higher levels in the spray painters than in the electricians, even at the beginning of the apprenticeship. Total SBA tended to increase in spray painters with increasing years of exposure during the apprenticeship, but this was significant at only one time point. No rises were observed over the sampling period in electricians. The mean values of individual and total SBA concentrations were all found to be higher in the high-exposure group than in the low-exposure group, with some differences reaching statistical significance. None of the routine liver biochemistry parameters was different between spray painters and electricians. gamma -Glutamyl transferase (GGT) was the only enzyme found to be significantly different between the high- and low-exposure groups, but all values were within the normal range. This study suggests that occupational exposure even to low levels of solvent mixtures results in increases in SBA. The increased SBA may be indicative of a subclinical liver dysfunction.

Predictive microbiology aims to summarise the probable behaviour of specific spoilage organisms and the progression of spoilage processes in foods. The quantitative knowledge generated in the field of predictive microbiology provides a sound basis for the rational development of devices with which to monitor loss of product shelf life during storage, distribution and retail sale. To predict remaining shelf life accurately it is necessary, however, to consider the microbial ecology of the food system. Aspects of microbial ecology and physiology relevant to the spoilage of foods are briefly reviewed and the potential benefits of the use of predictive microbiology in shelf life estimation are described. These points are exemplified by reference to a modelling program undertaken to develop, validate and 'package' in an easily useable form, models of the effect of temperature, water activity and pH on the growth rate of psychrotrophic spoilage pseudomonads. Necessary properties of devices to monitor loss of shelf life are discussed. 'Bioindicators' are identified as potential monitors of spoilage and suggestions made for their development based on the concept of 'upper limiting bacterial growth' rates, for which preliminary evidence is presented.

However, nestmates and intruders differed with respect to the frequency and the pattern of brood destruction. Intruders destroyed more brood than did nestmates. In addition, intruders appeared to destroy all stages of brood at equal frequencies, whereas nestmates had a preference for opening and thereby destroying newly made cells. Several hypotheses concerning the ultimate reasons for these differences were tested. These differences are not due to either a lack of breeding space, or to an attempt to prevent an imminent loss of dominance. The number of brood cells destroyed by nestmates was not influenced by the degree of relatedness. This indicates that the difference between nestmates and intruders was not based on active kin recognition. The most likely reason why nestmates prefer to open young brood cells is that they can then reallocate the pollen contents of these cells to their own brood. A difference in knowledge about the location of newly made cells may explain the differences in the pattern and the frequency of brood destruction by nestmates and intruders. Furthermore, a superseding nestmate may slightly enhance her average indirect fitness by destroying the brood contents of newly made cells while leaving older brood cells intact.

Large male tilapia (141 plus or minus 11.1-152 plus or minus 2.1 g) were stocked at 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 fish m-3 in 4-m3 net cages. One cage was suspended in each of 15 earthen ponds, and three replicates were used for each density. Small male tilapia (54 plus or minus 2.3-57 plus or minus 1.2 g) were stocked at 2 fish m-3 in open water of all ponds. Caged tilapia were fed twice daily at 3%, 2.5%, and 2% body weight day-1 during the first, second, and third month, respectively, with commercial floating pellets containing 30% crude protein. Water quality was analyzed biweekly. Stocking densities of caged tilapia had significant (P<0.05) effects on the survival, growth, and food conversion ratio of caged tilapia, and on the growth of open-pond tilapia. The survival of caged tilapia decreased from 91.4% plus or minus 5.0 to 57.2% plus or minus 8.1 with increased stocking densities from 30 to 70 fish m-3, while survival of pond tilapia was higher than 90.0% in all treatments. The average treatment mean weights of tilapia harvested from cages ranged from 509 plus or minus 26.0 to 565 plus or minus 13.9 g. The growth of pond tilapia was quite slow, with daily weight gain increasing from 0.30 plus or minus 0.02 to 0.47 plus or minus 0.08 g per fish day-1, in response to increased feed inputs to caged tilapia. The combined net yield of both caged and open-pond tilapia was highest in the treatment with 50 fish m-3. Water quality analyses indicated that the wastes from caged tilapia were insufficient to generate abundant natural food for the growth of open-pond tilapia.

Analyses of the starting material and degradation intermediates were performed using gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Identified intermediates suggested that the ethylene oxide chain was more susceptible to degradation than aliphatic or aromatic moieties. Competitive degradation was also observed.

While Macquarie Harbour is grossly polluted from mine operations via contamination of the King River, Bathurst Harbour is surrounded by World Heritage wilderness and is essentially free of anthropogenic influences. The vegetation of the catchments of both harbours is similar and the waters of both harbours are deep brown due to the presence of humic substances. A hydrographic survey of the pristine Bathurst Harbour estuarine system was carried out over 4 days in January/February of 1990 (Austral Summer). Sampling and laboratory analyses for a range of trace elements (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn) were made using non-contaminating procedures. The concentrations of dissolved cadmium (0.02-0.06 nM) and nickel (2.4-4.9 nM) were essentially the same as the total reactive concentrations. A significant fraction of copper and zinc was associated with particles since the concentrations of dissolved copper (2.2-3.7 nM) and zinc (6-45 nM) were often less than the concentrations of total reactive copper (2.7-6.7 nM) and zinc (10-58 nM). The concentrations of copper, cadmium and nickel were comparable with levels in open-ocean seawater. Total reactive concentrations of iron and manganese were very high in the rivers entering Bathurst Harbour (7900 and 124 nM, respectively) and a large fraction of these metals was associated with particulate matter particularly as the salinity increased. The lowest concentrations of iron and manganese were found in filtered waters at salinity (S) approximately 35 (31 and 10 nM, respectively). The large amounts of organic matter draining into the estuarine system have fixed ratios between the fractions: dissolved organic carbon, humic substances, and copper-complexing capacity. This implies that it may be possible to estimate the copper-complexing capacity from a simple measurement of light absorbance. The copper-complexing capacity is a measure of the concentration of organic matter that is able to form strong complexes with copper and its concentration (7-93 nM) was in excess of the total concentration of copper in all samples from this survey. Comparison of results from this survey, with those from Macquarie Harbour in the summer of 1989, provided a clearer assessment of the effects of mining operations on trace metal concentrations in Macquarie Harbour.

Following growth in batch culture, suspensions of this bacterium, at initial concentrations of 107, 108 and 109 cells ml-1, were used as foods for three respective cultures of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. At 6 and 24 h, rotifers were removed, harvested and extracted for analysis of fatty acid composition, which was compared to that of rotifers grown on baker's yeast. Incorporation of EPA, along with bacterial fatty acid markers (i13:0, i15:0 and 14:0), was evidenced at all bacterial food concentrations tested. The highest observed incorporation occurred when rotifers were grown in the medium initially containing 109 bacteria ml-1. After 24 h of feeding, the level of EPA reached 9.4% of total fatty acids in the fed rotifers (6.7 ng of EPA rotifer -1). ACAM 456, a bacterial strain with the ability to produce EPA, was therefore shown to be a potential alternative enrichment food for the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis under feeding conditions that may be applicable to many Australian mariculture operations.

[Volume I: Findings and Conclusions.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62701192; ED397535 AB - Significant curricular change extends into most other facets of schooling, including teaching, learning, and the school culture. This document reports findings of the Curriculum Reform Project, which conducted case studies of educational reforms in nine middle and senior high schools across the United States; prepared a cross-site analysis of the cases; and identified implications for policy, practice, and research. The focus of this 4-year research project has been curriculum reform, with specific attention to the three areas of science education, mathematics education, and high order thinking across the disciplines. The literature review found that proponents of higher order thinking favor the constructivist learning approach, which requires students to be active builders of their own knowledge and which requires a change in teaching strategies and teachers' roles. The cross-site analysis examined the nature of the curricular reforms, barriers to reforms, and essentials for attaining reform. The technical, political, and cultural dimensions of curricular reform efforts were examined. one conclusion is that reform is ongoing and requires a sufficient length of time. It also requires the provision of time for teachers, changed values and beliefs about the goals of instruction and means for fostering them, collaborative teacher learning, parent learning, new student roles and work, and a systemic view of reform.

[Volume I: Findings and Conclusions.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62701163; ED397553 AB - A systemic approach to education reform emerged in the 1990s as one way of addressing policy fragmentation. This volume presents findings of a study that sought to: expand knowledge of state approaches to systemic education reform; examine district, school, and teacher responses to state reform policies in a small number of reforming schools and school districts; identify challenges at the state, district, school, and classroom levels to reforming education; examine the capacity of the educational system to support education reform; and provide guidance to policymakers at all levels of the education system as they design and implement education reform policies. During the first year of study, researchers conducted a review of literature on systemic reform, commissioned four papers, and held a national conference. The second stage involved intensive case studies of 12 reforming schools located in 6 reforming school districts in 3 states undergoing systemic reform--California, Michigan, and Vermont. The case studies targeted mathematics, reading, and writing instruction in grades 4-8. Stage three involved preparing state-level case studies and conducting cross-site analyses. Findings indicate that: (1) coherence among the elements of state education policy seems to facilitate reform in districts and schools; (2) communication about the reform agenda cannot be accomplished from the center only; (3) it takes time for educators to learn new content and approaches and for institutions to change; (4) the goals of reform may need to strike a balance between current and desired practice; (5) deliberate, consistent, and pervasive strategies to ensure equity are necessary; (6) capacity building must take into account organizational and individual needs; (7) consistency, alignment, and coherence may provide opportunities throughout the system, but states and school districts must design and use these systemic tools strategically; (8) capacity-building strategies must accommodate teachers' and administrators' involvement at multiple levels; (9) capacity-building strategies should include diverse populations; and (10) attention should be given to enhancing the capacity of external stakeholders. A total of 25 tables and 2 figures are included. (Contains 99 references.) (LMI) AU - Goertz, Margaret E.

[Volume I: Findings and Conclusions.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62700764; ED397550 AB - The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world that has no institutionalized school-to-work transition system for helping young people move from education to employment. The Academy for Educational Development's National Institute for Work and Learning (AED/NIWL) undertook a 4-year study of school-to-work transition education reform focusing on school-to-work transition reform initiatives. The final of four volumes this volume presents findings, cross-site analysis, and summary of the literature review. It identifies 12 critical elements of successful school-to-work programs: leadership from education system executives and program deliverers, professional development for teachers and staff, cross-sector collaboration, student self-determination, contextually based curriculum and instruction, a variety of work-based learning strategies, an integrated career-information and guidance system, a progressive system that begins as early as elementary or middle schools, postsecondary articulation, creative financing, and application of research. The AED/NIWL research did not conduct any cost analyses of school-to-work reform. Comparative analyses of costs, and more importantly, cost-benefit analyses that take outcomes into account, could clarify the issue of relative costs for policymakers and practitioners. The programs contributed to positive outcomes for students, business, and schools. Two tables are included.

[Volume I: Findings and Conclusions.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62699531; ED397562 AB - This study examines three aspects of educational time: (1) quantity of time in school; (2) quality of time in school; and (3) students' uses of out-of-school time. The study identified two types of strategies that altered school uses of time--multiage groupings, and flexible school schedules. It concludes that the decision to increase the quantity of time for teaching and learning represents a hollow goal and can even work against other important changes. Undertaking quick policy fixes to extend the school day or year is ill-advised, particularly without deliberate and consensual assessment. Other findings are that: (1) extending noninstructional time at school has important impacts on students; (2) students are willing to commit their free time to well-conceived and well-structured activities provided through their local schools; (3) flexible schedules are important for schools serving at-risk high school students; (4) the most important commodity in which to invest is time itself; and (5) failure to invest in the necessary resources, particularly time, can doom even the most promising innovations. Two exhibits and two figures are included. (Contains 43 references.) (LMI) AU - Adelman, Nancy E.

[Volume I: Findings and Conclusions.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62698594; ED397530 AB - This document presents findings of the Assessment of School-Based Management Study, which identified the conditions in schools that promote high performance through school-based management (SBM). The study's conceptual framework was based on Edward E. Lawler's (1986) model. The high-involvement framework posits that four resources must spread throughout the organization: power to make or influence decisions; information upon which good decisions can be made; knowledge and skills to perform effectively including good decision-making and problem-solving skills; and rewards for performance. This volume contains four sections: Section 1 includes an executive summary for the study; section 2 presents a summary review of the SBM literature; section 3 presents an overview of study aims and study questions; and section 4 contains a series of articles that draw on cross-site analyses from the two phases of the study. The study found that SBM requires a redesign of the whole school organization rather than a change in school governance. SBM fails when it is adopted as an end in itself; principals work from their own agenda; decision-making power is centered in a single council; and business continues as usual. Strategies for successful implementation of SBM include: (1) establish multiple teacher-led decision-making teams; (2) focus on continuous improvement with school-wide training in functional and process skills, including training in curricular and instructional areas; (3) create a well-developed system for sharing school-related information among a broad range of constituents; (4) develop ways to more effectively reward staff behaviors oriented toward achieving school objectives; (5) select principals who can facilitate and manage change; and (6) use district, state, and/or national guidelines to focus reform efforts and to target changes in curriculum and instruction. Data were obtained from a review of the literature and from over 500 interviews conducted in 44 schools in 13 school districts. Three tables are included. An annotated bibliography is included.

[Volume I: Final Technical Report.] Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62697523; ED397538 AB - An era of substantial growth in investment of resources, program development, and research has led to tangible gains in the scope and quality of early childhood education programs. However, the system of early childhood education programs is plagued by unequal access and inconsistent, inadequate levels of quality. Additionally, the focus of federal policy debate has shifted from improving specific programs to more global and ideological concerns of federalism and fiscal policy. This study was designed to provide information about the effects of current government policy and funding efforts on the shape and quality of local early childhood agencies. The study analyzed and documented significant local examples of innovative and successful reforms in early childhood services. The document, the first of three in a series, contains an analysis of past research and recent policy trends and presents seven case studies of local early childhood initiatives (including Head Start grantees, local school districts, and child-care agencies). All projects serve children from birth to 5 years of age from families of low to moderate incomes. The programs involve sponsorship by one or more state or federal programs and include a significant component of outreach, involvement, and service to parents and other family members. The report highlights strategies to promote child development, strategies to serve and involve families, management strategies, and policy effects in local agencies. Nine policy recommendations are offered, some of which include: (1) coordinate expansion of federal and state public investment to equalize access to quality early childhood programs; (2) support funding rates that are consistent with program and work-force quality; (3) encourage local and private-sector investment in early childhood services; (4) set program standards that are also flexible for meeting local needs; (5) support local agencies; (6) build a supportive infrastructure and management-development system to support program quality and innovation; (7) create leadership/management development system; (8) ease administrative burdens in administering multiple public early childhood programs; and (9) build community planning and responsibility for each childhood service. To improve practice, the report recommends that program administrators refine and promote teaching excellence within the paradigm of developmentally appropriate practice; continue to foster staff development; promote continuity with elementary schools and successful transitions; encourage adult family members' participation; help staff members negotiate the boundaries between their work and family issues; and define and implement high-quality front-line practices.

Volume 1: Survey Documentation. AN - 62613513; ED402358 AB - The volumes in this User Manual document the data collection of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). Researchers who are ready to access the data file may go directly to the codebooks for each survey (Volumes II and III for the Restricted-Use and Public-Use versions respectively). This manual focuses on survey documentation, describing SASS components and data collection and analysis. The overall objective of the SASS is to collect the information necessary for a complete picture of American elementary and secondary education. The data collected permit detailed analyses of the characteristics of schools, principals, teachers, and students, and the linkage of SASS components enables researchers to examine relationships among these elements of education. The 1993-94 SASS contained seven surveys consisting of a teacher supply and demand questionnaire, questionnaires about principals, schools, teachers, students, library and media centers, and media specialists and librarians. The eighth component was the teacher followup survey. This report explores survey design and implementation, data collection (including sampling), edit procedures, data imputation procedures, weighting, and aspects of data analysis including variance estimation and reinterview methodology. Seven appendixes to this volume present supplemental details about survey methodology. (Contains 56 tables, 124 appendix tables, and 70 figures.) (SLD) AU - Gruber, Kerry J.

The NHES:95 included two topical survey components: the Adult Education component, which collected information about adults' participation in adult education, and the Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP) component, which collected information about children's participation in nonparental child care and early childhood programs. This manual provides documentation and guidance for users of the public release data file for the ECPP component. Information about the purpose of the study, the data collection instruments, the sample design, and data collection and data processing procedures is provided. Some information about factors that should be kept in mind when using ECPP data is also provided. For the ECPP component, interviews were conducted with parents of 14,064 children, a figure that included 101 home schooled children.

Technical Report. AN - 62604562; ED400603 AB - The decade of the 1980s saw great change in the educational system. This report examines the changing demographics of high school students over the last decade and investigates the impact that these changes may have had on high school dropout rates. Specifically, the study examined the changing nature of the high school population during the last decade and describes the different effects of various student-level characteristics on the propensity for students to drop out of school between 1980 and 1982 compared to 1990 and 1992. The report provides data that depict changes in the characteristics of students' families, in students' economic backgrounds, in dropout rates, and in the characteristics of dropouts. Data show that during the 1980s, a growing number of students with characteristics traditionally associated with school failure began attending high school; at the same time, high school dropout rates decreased by almost 50 percent. The declines occurred among students with a variety of characteristics--minority and majority students, students in intact families and nonintact families, and students with children of their own living in their household. Many groups of students traditionally considered "at risk" for school failure dropped out at lower rates in 1990 than in 1980. However, there were other groups of students whose dropout rates did not improve. These were students from poor families, who had histories of poor academic achievement, and who had multiple risk factors in their backgrounds. The study used data on two cohorts of high school sophomores collected by the National Center for Education Statistics--the sophomore cohort of 1980 from the High School and Beyond (HS&B) study, and the sophomore cohort of 1990 from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). Appendices contain methodological notes, standard error tables, and multivariate analyses. Eight figures and 57 tables are included.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62603826; ED402896 AB - The Survey on Remedial Education in Higher Education Institutions was designed to provide current national estimates about the extent of remediation on college campuses. The study examined participation in college-level remedial education, characteristics of remedial courses and programs, and policies or laws that affect remedial education. Data were collected in Fall 1995 from 3,060 two-year and four-year higher education institutions that enroll freshmen. Seventy-eight percent of the institutions offered at least one remedial course. Remedial reading courses were offered by 57 percent and mathematics courses were offered by about 75 percent of responding institutions. The average number of courses offered was 2.1 for reading, 2.0 for writing, and 2.5 for mathematics. Public two-year institutions offered a much higher average number of remedial courses than other types of institutions. Twenty-nine percent of first-time freshmen enrolled in at least one remedial reading, writing, or mathematics course. Students were most frequently selected by freshmen placement tests. Seventeen tables provide data on the following aspects: participation in college-level remedial education, characteristics of remedial courses and programs, polices or laws affecting remedial education, changes in remedial education since 1983-84 and 1989. A detailed description of the survey and statistical methodologies are provided. The survey questionnaire is appended.

AN - 62599924; ED402357 AB - The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) is a periodic, integrated system of sample surveys on elementary and secondary schools in the United States that collects information on school and district administrators and teachers in public and private schools. This technical report is one in a series of methodological studies relating to the SASS of the National Center for Education Statistics. The report examines nonresponse, not as an indicator of survey data quality, but for the purpose of understanding potential biases in response data with an eye toward changing survey operations in the future. The analysis is exploratory in that it refers to the multivariate analysis of nonresponse. The four main goals of the report are: (1) summarizing known technical and evaluative information about response rates in the 1990-91 SASS round; (2) exploring the differences between respondents and nonrespondents through intensive study of the data; (3) identifying gaps in knowledge about nonresponse; and (4) suggesting priorities for future SASS research. Results indicate that the operation of the SASS is of the highest caliber, but that it can be improved in some ways. Notable among these is the suggestion that the SASS begin a methods test program to keep abreast of the changing nature of school reporting issues. Appendixes present a modeling example and basic response rate tabulations by SASS component. (Contains 87 tables, 7 appendix tables, 31 figures, and 79 references.)

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62598931; ED402302 AB - This report investigated the extent to which students in public secondary schools are taught by teachers without basic qualifications in their assigned teaching fields--i.e., at least a college minor in the fields they teach--focusing on core academic subjects (mathematics, English, social studies, science). Analysis of the study data revealed that many students are taught by out-of-field teachers: 20 percent in English classes, 25 percent in mathematics, 39 percent in life science or biology, 56 percent in physical sciences classes, and over 50 percent in history or world civilization. Low-income schools had higher levels of out-of-field teaching than did more affluent schools; schools serving predominantly minority student populations did not have higher levels of out-of-field teaching than did schools serving predominantly white students. In several fields, students in both low-track and low-achievement-level classes were more often taught by out-of-field teachers than were students in high-track and high-achievement-level classes; however, predominantly minority classes did not have higher levels of out-of-field teaching than did predominantly white classes. Students in seventh and eighth grade classes were more often taught by out-of-field teachers than were senior high students. Data tables are included.

Studies of Education Reform. AN - 62598402; ED403662 AB - Nearly all school reforms, regardless of their scope or intended target, share a number of characteristics. This report reviews the essential elements of planning, implementing, and sustaining school reform and presents eight key lessons to guide prospective reformers. The lessons are drawn from 12 major studies of education reform funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) between 1990 and 1995. These studies were built around case analyses describing practices that educators could emulate, or at least learn from, if they wanted to undertake work in a particular reform area. The lessons, which emphasize a comprehensive, strategic approach to school reform, center on the issues of leadership, goals, timing, training, flexibility, infrastructure, resource management, and self-assessment. Appendices contain planning guides, worksheets, and a brief description of each of the OERI education reform studies. (Contains 32 references.)

Through observation, interviews, & a survey it was determined that the learning-assisted students did not like individual or whole class activities, textbooks, grammar, listening, written comprehension exercises, or research assignments. They enjoyed problem-solving, information exchanges, role play, games, designing brochures & posters, singing, & story telling activities. The mainstream controls also disliked texts & research. It was concluded that using a communicative task-based approach to teaching, students with learning problems can acquire a second language given learning conditions conducive to their needs. 8 References.

AN - 21272465; 11701758 AB - This article is in response to the challenge issued to the scientific community by the National Toxicology Program to predict the carcinogenicity potential of 30 chemicals previously selected for long-term carcinogenicity testing. Utilizing the available toxicologic, genetic, and structural information on 30 chemicals previously selected for long-term carcinogenicity testing, we predict that 16 chemicals (53%) would induce some indication of carcinogenic activity in rodents; we further predict that 10 chemicals (33%) would be associated with weak or equivocal carcinogenic responses, and another 4 (13%) would give no indication of carcinogenicity. Our level of certainty is indicated for many of these predictions. Nonetheless, we believe that most instances of guessing whether a chemical would eventually induce cancer in experimental animals and hence represent a carcinogenic hazard to humans are fraught with considerable uncertainty: uncertainty that can only be relieved by long-term testing for carcinogenicity in animals or by conducting an epidemiologic investigation of exposed individuals or groups. We further believe that the day may come when our predictive acumen will be upgraded to such an extent that we might eventually obviate cancer testing. Until then, and in the best interests of public health, however, we urge long term testing of chemicals in animals be continued, at increased pace.

AN - 21262225; 11701763 AB - Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) begins as a sensitizing cell-mediated immune response to beryllium antigen that progresses to granulomatous lung disease. Previous studies demonstrated the involvement of proinflammatory cytokines in the disease process, but the pattern and regulation of cytokine release is unknown. Using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from CBD patients in short-term tissue culture, we evaluated cytokine protein levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and T-lymphocyte proliferation by tritiated thymidine incorporation. We observed the beryllium-stimulated release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) but not interleukin-4 (IL-4). Beryllium-stimulated IFN-gamma release was sustained to 168 hr in culture, whereas IL-2 concentrations returned to baseline after 24 hr. Neutralization of IL-2 decreased beryllium-stimulated T-lymphocyte proliferation, but the level of proliferation remained elevated in comparison to unstimulated BAL cells. These data suggest that T helper 1 (Th1) lymphocytes participate in the beryllium disease process; that IFN-gamma levels remain elevated after IL-2 levels return to baseline; and that IL-2 participates directly in beryllium-stimulated T-cell proliferation, but other T-lymphocyte mitogenic cytokines may be involved.

AN - 21261627; 11703659 AB - The blood beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT) is a modification of the standard lymphocyte proliferation test that is used to identify persons who may have chronic beryllium disease. A major problem in the interpretation of BeLPT test results is outlying data values among the replicate well counts (approximately 7%). A long-linear regression model is used to describe the expected well counts for each set of Be exposure conditions, and the variance of the well counts is proportional to the square of the expected count. Two outlier-resistant regression methods are used to estimate stimulation indices (SIs) and the coefficient of variation. The first approach uses least absolute values (LAV) on the log of the well counts as a method for estimation; the second approach uses a resistant regression version of maximum quasi-likelihood estimation. A major advantage of these resistant methods is that they make it unnecessary to identify and delete outliers. These two new methods for the statistical analysis of the BeLPT data and the current outlier rejection method are applied to 173 BeLPT assays. We strongly recommend the LAV method for routine analysis of the BeLPT. Outliers are important when trying to identify individuals with beryllium hypersensitivity, since these individuals typically have large positive SI values. A new method for identifying large Sls using combined data from the nonexposed group and the beryllium workers is proposed. The log(SI)s are described with a Gaussian distribution with location and scale parameters estimated using resistant methods. This approach is applied to the test data and results are compared with those obtained from the current method.

AN - 21253485; 11701760 AB - Lung cancer caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and related environmental agents is a major problem in industrialized nations. The high case-fatality rate of the disease, even with the best supportive treatment, underscores the importance of primary lung cancer prevention. Development of biomarkers of exposure and effects to PAHs and related compounds is now underway and includes measurement of urinary metabolites of specific PAHs as well as detection of protein and DNA adducts as indicators of effective dose. Validation of these markers in terms of total environmental dose requires that concurrent measures of air levels and potential dermal exposure be made. In addition, the interrelationships between PAH biomarkers must be determined, particularly when levels of the marker in surrogate molecules (e.g., protein) or markers from surrogate tissues (e.g., lymphocyte DNA) are used to assess the risk to the target organ, the lung. Two approaches to biomarker studies will be reviewed in this article: the progress made using blood lymphocytes as surrogates for lung tissues and the progress made developing noninvasive markers of carcinogen-DNA adduct levels in lung-derived cells available in bronchial-alveolar lavage and in sputum. Data are presented from studies in which exfoliated urothelial cells were used as a surrogate tissue to assess exposure to human urinary bladder carcinogens in occupational groups.

AN - 21253414; 11701764 AB - Recently the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) sponsored a comparative exercise in which different prediction approaches (both biologically and chemically based) were challenged for their predictive abilities of rodent carcinogenicity of a common set of chemicals. The exercise enjoyed remarkable scientific success and stimulated NTP to sponsor a second challenging round of tests, inviting participants to present predictions relative to the rodent carcinogenicity of a further 30 chemicals; these are currently being tested. In this article, we present our predictions based on structure-activity relationship considerations. In our procedure, first each chemical was assigned to an activity mechanism class and then, with semiquantitative considerations, was assigned a probability carcinogenicity score, taking into account simultaneously the hypothesized action mechanism and physical chemical parameters.

The DEREK Collaborative Group. AN - 21251769; 11701762 AB - DEREK is a knowledge-based expert system for the qualitative prediction of toxicity. The DEREK system has been used to predict the carcinogenicity in rodents of the 30 chemicals in the second National Toxicology Program (NTP) carcinogenicity prediction exercise. Seven of the chemicals were predicted to be carcinogens. For 23 chemicals, there was no evidence in the DEREK knowledge base to suggest carcinogenic activity. Supplementary data from a variety of sources have been evaluated by human experts to assess confidence in each DEREK prediction. These sources included standard toxicology reference texts, genotoxicity and subchronic toxicity assay results for each chemical, as well as Salmonella mutagenicity and carcinogenicity data for close structural analogues. This process has led to the proposal of a number of improvements to the DEREK carcinogenicity knowledge base.

AN - 21251480; 11701759 AB - With the advent of in vitro immunologic testing, we can now detect exposed individuals who are sensitized to beryllium and those who have chronic beryllium disease (CBD) with lung pathology and impairment. Earlier detection and more accurate diagnostic tools raise new questions about the natural history of sensitization and granulomatous disease. Preliminary data suggest that early detection identifies people who are sensitized to beryllium and that these individuals are at risk for progressing into clinical disease. This article discusses the historical, recent, and ongoing studies germane to our understanding of CBD natural history, including the immunologic and inflammatory basis of the disease, the environmental and host risk factors for disease progression, biological markers of disease severity and activity that may help predict outcome, and the implications for broad-based workplace screening to identify patients at the earliest stages of beryllium sensitization and disease.

AN - 21250941; 11704937 AB - The Predictive-Toxicology Evaluation (PTE) project conducts collaborative experiments that subject the performance of predictive-toxicology (PT) methods to rigorous, objective evaluation in a uniquely informative manner. Sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, it takes advantage of the ongoing testing conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) to estimate the true error of models that have been applied to make prospective predictions on previously untested, noncongeneric-chemical substances. The PTE project first identifies a group of standardized NTP chemical bioassays either scheduled to be conducted or are ongoing, but not yet complete. The project then announces and advertises the evaluation experiment, disseminates information about the chemical bioassays, and encourages researchers from a wide variety of disciplines to publish their predictions in peer-reviewed journals, using whatever approaches and methods they feel are best. A collection of such papers is published in this Environmental Health Perspectives Supplement, providing readers the opportunity to compare and contrast PT approaches and models, within the context of their prospective application to an actual-use situation. This introduction to this collection of papers on predictive toxicology summarizes the predictions made and the final results obtained for the 44 chemical carcinogenesis bioassays of the first PTE experiment (PTE-1) and presents information that identifies the 30 chemical carcinogenesis bioassays of PTE-2, along with a table of prediction sets that have been published to date. It also provides background about the origin and goals of the PTE project, outlines the special challenge associated with estimating the true error of models that aspire to predict open-system behavior, and summarizes what has been learned to date.

AN - 21249910; 11703660 AB - Covalent protein adducts formed after exposure to xenobiotics may provide readily measurable indicators of these exposures. After adequate characterization of the dose-dependent formation of a specific adduct, the adduct can often be used as a quantitative marker for exposure, DNA adduct formation, or, possibly, risk of disease. By elucidating the structure of an adduct and studying the conditions under which it forms, information about the reactions that lead to its formation can be obtained. Continuing work in this area includes methods to expand the number, types, and levels of chemical exposures that can be studied by covalent adduct formation. In addition to the use of this technology in the field of occupational health, basic research in this area provides insights into metabolic pathways and biochemistry, as well.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes contained anthocyanin monoglucosides as well as acetylated and coumarylated derivatives, predominantly of malvidin, whereas Pinot Noir grapes contained only anthocyanin monoglucosides. Fruit of some sports arising from varieties with black berries either lacked anthocyanins or had much lower levels than their progenitors. A bud sport of Cabernet Sauvignon (Bronze Cabernet) exhibited a 90% reduction in anthocyanin levels, but an anthocyanin composition similar to that of the normal Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The fruit of a white-coloured bud sport of Bronze Cabernet did not contain anthocyanins. Coloured berries of sports originating on varieties with white-skinned berries also had lower levels of anthocyanins than black grapes, but like Pinot Noir contained very low levels of acylated anthocyanins. The berries of these sports also varied in the proportions of the different types of 3-monoglucosides they contained. The results suggest that control of 3-monoglucoside synthesis and modification vary in the sports. The expression of six genes from the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway was determined. Some genes were expressed in all grapes, even where little or no anthocyanins accumulated, but expression of the gene encoding a UDP glucose-flavonoid 3-o-glucosyl transferase (UFGT) was only detected in coloured grapes that synthesised anthocyanins. Southern and northern analysis of the white grapes indicated that the UFGT gene was present but was not expressed. Thus the lack of anthocyanins in white-skinned varieties or sports correlates with a lack of expression of the UFGT gene, although the expression of some other flavonoid pathway genes was also decreased.

The quasi-analytical solution is based on a finite difference scheme of the advection-dispersion transport equation. The solution, however, allows for sorption to the soil matrix and nutrient uptake by the roots. The redistribution of a non-uniform concentration profile is simulated by the method of superposition. Temporal variability of water content, water flux, and dispersion are incorporated into the solution by assuming quasi-steady state flow. The quasi-analytical solution is accurate and simple. This is attractive for scientists and engineers because the redistribution of a chemical can now be predicted with a hand-held calculator. The quasi-analytical solution can be used to study the redistribution of surface-applied chemicals to (1) analyze the efficiency of fertilizer use, and (2) determine leaching losses from the root zone.

Silvex was a more potent in vitro GST inhibitor than nafenopin and DEHP. After 14 days oral administration to rats a reduction in total GST activity was observed, doses of compounds were chosen so that peroxisome proliferation was equivalent between compounds, nevertheless total GST activity was altered to different extents: nafenopin approximately silvex > DEHP approximately control. GST isoenzyme profiles were also altered, the proportion of GST 2-2 increased and 4-4 decreased compared to control levels. The results indicated that: (i) the peroxisome proliferators studied had similar effects on GST isoenzyme profile; (ii) modulation of the GST activity was apparently independent of peroxisome proliferation per se.

An effort was made to establish the information system required in management of an irrigation unit at the tertiary level (Ban-Rom Water Users' Association, Thailand). A computerized database was developed for use on a microcomputer using the combination of a commercial database management system and a linear programming optimizer. This information system was simple to operate through the use of menu-driven procedures. This database system can replace the previous manual system for data recording and retrieval of information related to the management of agricultural organizations and related irrigation aspects. The optimal solution for cropping pattern and water allocation obtained from the system can be used as a guideline in pre-season planning for irrigation delivery and crop selection.

Gentoo penguins are considered to be inshore feeders, and at Macquarie Island the diet and estimated foraging ranges supported this. The diet consisted of 91.6% fish and 8.3% squid, by mass. The dominant prey taxa were the fish Gymnoscopelus sp. and Paranotothenia magellanica. A mixture of pelagic and benthic prey was consumed, with a greater proportion of benthic species occurring later in the season. The penguins exhibited a strong diurnal pattern in their diving behaviour. Deep diving ( greater than or equal to 30 m) began near sunrise (03.00 h) and finished close to sunset (21.00 h). Diving at night was less common and very shallow (<10 m). Early in the breeding season, dive profiles indicated that birds were probably following vertically migrating pelagic prey through the water column and were foraging in waters over 100 m deep. Later in the season, more uniform, shallower depths were used, suggesting an increase in benthic foraging activity. These changes in dive pattern and depth were consistent with the habitat preferences of prey species found in the diet. Gentoo penguins swam at 1.04 m per s and had a maximum potential foraging range of about 26 km for single-day trips. They tended to forage within 14 km of the colony, with a mean range of 5.4 km. This range encompassed the deep ocean habitat to the west and east of the island and a shallow area to the north. JF - Ibis AU - Robinson, SA AU - Hindell, MA AD - Dep. Zool., Univ. Tasmania, G.P.O.

The potential sources of Pb contamination affecting these children are identified. Researchers found that 67.5% of the children who participated in the study had blood Pb levels of greater than 10 mu g/100 ml. Of these children, 21% had blood Pb levels which required medical evaluation. A total of 112 children from the region of study required medical treatment for Pb poisoning. The highest probabilities of high blood Pb levels were associated with families that used lead-glazed pottery dishware and with children who habitually chewed on colored pencils. These data were used to determine baseline costs for population-based intervention programs. More public education is needed.

The sands in two of the mesocosms were clean. The third mesocosm, which was stocked with contaminated dredged spoil, shared a common water circulation with one of the other mesocosms. This situation resulted in one of the clean mesocosms being contaminated via the water phase. Samples of sediments and flounder tissues collected from this semi-contaminated mesocosm exhibited contaminant levels intermediate between the concentrations found in samples from the other mesocosms. Flounder from the three mesocosms were examined every two months for several epidermal diseases, including lymphocystis, skin ulcers, and fin rot. Other fish were sacrificed for histological and chemical assessments.

However, this issue remains highly controversial as the database is fairly limited. Results from tests conducted to examine the contention that 60-Hz MF action at the cellular level can generate alterations in gene formation leading to neoplastic transformation are examined. Negative results were obtained in two standard transformation systems subjected to a 24-hour continuous exposure to power frequency MFs. These results prompted researchers to reinvestigate previous findings that confirmed MF-induced alterations in gene expressions in human HL60 cells. These findings cast significant doubt on the role of MF in carcinogenesis for the test cells and conditions investigated.

The analytical procedures used are described. Results indicated a pronounced estrogenic effect associated with exposure to the effluents, as shown by vitellogenin production and depressed serum testosterone concentrations in male carp. No vitellogenin production was found in carp collected from the tributary, although they did exhibit depressed serum testosterone concentrations. The data indicated that the estrogen/androgen ratio was a sensitive marker of abnormal serum sex steroid concentrations.

Women were recruited from maternity hospitals, and questionnaires were used to elicit data on the use of Pb-glazed ceramics, exposure to Pb paint, history of occupational exposure, and dietary calcium intake. Results indicated that bone Pb concentrations varied according to different environmental and dietary variables. A strong positive linear relationship was found between the amount of time participants had lived in Mexico City and Pb concentration in tibia and patella. The mobilization of Pb from trabecular bone stores was found to contribute significantly to circulating Pb levels in the lactating women. The data also suggested that low dietary Ca enhanced Pb absorption and bone Pb deposition.

A study was conducted in Granada, Spain, to assess the relationship between differences in the distribution and frequency of cryptorchidism throughout the province and differences in exposure to pesticides. Data were compiled for males who underwent surgery for orchidopexy between 1980 and 1991. The orchidopexy rates and inpatient control rates were calculated for each municipality, health-care district, and level of pesticide use. Results showed that orchidopexy rates tended to be higher in districts where intensive farming was widespread, particularly in the city of Granada. Regression analysis of the data revealed that the strength of the association between orchidopexy and the level of pesticide use tended to increase with higher levels of pesticide use.

The available epidemiologic data are reviewed to assess the hazard potential suggested by the data, to identify critical data gaps, and to recommend further short- and long-term research. It is argued that, as a group, these studies suffer from a number of methodological weaknesses that limit the interpretability of the findings. A series of short-term projects are described, which could strengthen the interpretation of existing studies and guide the design of subsequent work.

Either solubilized concentrated tar or a PAH carcinogen was injected into cockerels. The model PAH used was 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). The number of plaques per cockerel and the numbers of plaque-containing segments per cockerel in each treatment group were compared by ANOVA. No significant effect of treatment was found in terms of the number of plaques per cockerel or on the number of aortic segments with measurable plaque per cockerel. DMBA treatment resulted in a significant increase in plaque size compared to the tar fraction. These findings suggested that the primary arteriosclerotic plaque-promoting components of cigarette smoke are in the vapor phase.

Responses to in vitro Hg exposure were evaluated by monitoring DNA synthesis as well as tyrosine phosphorylation and calcium flux. The experimental protocol is detailed. Resulting data showed that concentrations of inorganic Hg greater than 10 mu M suppressed DNA synthesis and induced rapid influx of Ca. Lower concentrations also induced a slow sustained rise in intracellular Ca in cells, but did not produce detectable tryosine phosphorylation of leukocyte proteins. The extent to which sufficient free Hg may be available in vivo to alter the activation state of the immune system remains to be determined.

The chemicals were tested in the yeast estrogen screen, in a competition-binding assay, and in the estrogen-responsive MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line transiently transfected with a plasmid containing two estrogen-response elements linked to the luciferase gene. The results of each assay are presented, showing that o,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDD exhibited estrogenic activity. The advantages of this three-tiered approach are discussed.

The most significant accomplishments have concerned the effects of low-level exposures to Pb on the cognitive and behavioral development of young children. The continuing risks to Pb exposure and toxicity are highlighted, and the risk factors for prenatal exposure, central nervous system and birth outcomes from this exposure, and mechanisms for neurological effects of Pb exposure are outlined. The data show that the developing nervous system is particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of Pb, with a large number of these effects due to interference by Pb with biochemical functions that are dependent on calcium ions, and to impairment of neuronal connections dependent on dendritic pruning.

AN - 62602939; ED400658 AB - This report discusses the growth of the National Information Infrastructure (NII), or the information superhighway, and its implications for people with disabilities. Advantages for people with disabilities include: increasing the ability of individuals with some types of disabilities to access and use information; decreasing personal isolation due to mobility and communication restrictions; allowing individuals to interact with others in a way that makes their disability invisible or irrelevant; and allowing convenient access to educational and medical services. The barriers to the NII include: socioeconomic barriers; the complexity in the design of many products; the use of graphic interfaces; the use of touchscreens and pointing interfaces where alternate input techniques are not available; virtual environments; sound; animation and interactive systems; and the sealed nature of public systems that must have built-in access accommodations if they are to be made accessible. The report makes recommendations on how facets of the NII can be modified to allow greater access by those with disabilities and strategies that can be used to achieve changes. A list of 17 additional readings is included. An appendix describes the mission of the National Council on Disability.

U.S. House of Representatives. AN - 62595946; ED401881 AB - Under the Copyright Act of 1976, "fair use" exemption places a limit on the exclusive rights of copyright owners to promote free speech, learning, scholarly research and open discussion. The Consortium of College and University Media Centers (CCUMC) convened a diverse group of interested parties to draft guidelines which would provide guidance on the application of the fair use exemption by educators, scholars, and students in creating multimedia projects that include portions of copyrighted works, for their use in noncommercial educational activities, without having to seek the permission of copyright owners. These guidelines form the body of this nonlegislative report. The guidelines, which do not represent a legal document, nor are they legally binding, represent an agreed upon interpretation of the fair use provisions of the Copyright Act by the overwhelming majority of the institutions and organizations affected by educational multimedia. A list of those organizations who have supplied written endorsements appears at the end of the guidelines. There is a relative degree of certainty that a use within the guidelines 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. The more one exceeds the guidelines, the greater the risk that the use of a work is not a fair use, and permission should be sought. The guidelines contain six sections: (1) Introduction; (2) Preparation of Educational Multimedia Projects Under These Guidelines; (3) Permitted Educational Uses for Multimedia Projects Under These Guidelines; (4) Limitations; (5) Examples of When Permission Is Required; and (6) Important Reminders. Appendixes contain lists of organizations endorsing the guidelines and organizations participating in the development of the guidelines.

AN - 62598111; ED405522 AB - Existing U.S. Federal law has not been sufficiently effective in preventing youth violence or in ensuring the punishment of juvenile offenders. Young people are the most violent segment of American society, and there is little reason to believe that a continuation of present Federal policy is likely to reduce youth crime. Bill S. 1952 seeks to make significant changes in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. The legislation: (1) makes changes designed to ensure that the Federal Government's policy toward youth violence is focused on those activities that the Federal Government can perform best, that are appropriately Federal, and that would be unlikely to be undertaken by state or local levels of government; (2) eliminates many bureaucratic and procedural requirements of current law; (3) reauthorizes the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act and Missing Children's Assistance Act; and (4) repeals authorizations for programs for which there is little or no evidence of success in preventing youth violence and reallocates those funds. The contents of this legislative report, submitted by Mr. Hatch from the Committee on the Judiciary, are: (1) Purpose; (2) Legislative history; (3) Discussion; (4) Vote of the Committee; (5) Section-by-section analysis; (6) Cost estimate; (7) Regulatory impact statement; (8) Additional views of Messrs.

The report makes reference to the Campus Crime and Security Awareness Act, enacted as part of the Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act, a law requiring any institutional recipient of Title IV student aid to report to students, faculty, and prospective students on the number of crimes in the categories of murder, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft as well as arrests for liquor-law violations, drug-abuse violations, and weapons possessions. House Resolution 470 supports improving and ensuring compliance with the Campus Security Act in order to protect students from crime on college campuses. An estimate of the costs of implementing this legislation has been received by the appropriate House committee.

AN - 78232676; 8698566 AB - Scholars describe science as one variety of organized human knowledge, characterized by its process that requires testing of theories in attempts to falsify them. Its products are descriptions and theories about the physical world that have withstood attempts at falsification. While some of these products will eventually have practical applications, all are initially interesting to other scientists. Other scientists use the products that are considered useful and that stand up to additional testing in their own research, they reject the products that do not survive testing, and they ignore most of them. Risk analyses produce informed predictions about the future likelihood that loss or injury will occur as a consequence of present actions. They are delivered not to scientists but to policymakers who, having invested in the analysis, want to use them in their work. Only rarely, and perhaps never, are the predictions testable, and they are accepted or rejected on other grounds. These contentions are the bases for a review of risk assessments about dioxin and low-level radiation exposures and some speculations about coming changes in risk assessment.

Technical Report. AN - 62618349; ED401337 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 provides descriptive data through a random digit dialed telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States. Approximately 60,000 households are screened for each administration, and individuals who meet the study criteria are sampled for more detailed or extended interviews. Data quality is a central issue for the NHES. Cognitive laboratory research, one of the many efforts to reduce nonsampling error in surveys, draws on the theories and methods of cognitive psychology. Concurrent and delayed methods are used in cognitive laboratory research procedures that can include individual interviews and focus groups. Cognitive laboratory activities are typically audiotaped or videotaped to provide a record of the research. Several examples of the use of cognitive laboratory research in the conduct of the NHES are given. These examples illustrate how taping and analysis of live interviews measured interviewer and respondent behavior during data collection and contributed to understanding words and items that could cause difficulty. Three appendixes present a moderator's topic guide for parent groups, a similar guide for adolescent groups, and a form for coding interviewer-respondent interactions.

This report describes ways in which the characteristics of the children, such as household income, poverty status, and racial and ethnic composition, vary across school districts of different types. Individual, parental, and household characteristics of American school children are described and compared in several areas. Relationships among student and school district characteristics are presented through text, statistical tables, and graphs using material based on the "School District Analysis Book" (SDAB) developed largely from Census figures in response to a Congressional mandate. Demographic and enrollment profiles of the students and profiles of the districts are presented. Of the 48 million children aged 5 to 19 years in the United States, 91% were enrolled in school below the college level. Three appendixes present concepts and definitions, information on SDAB sources and data quality, and a report on the accuracy of SDAB data.

AN - 62601225; ED399898 AB - This study used data from the ongoing Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study to examine college graduates' preparation for and entry into teaching, as well as their movement into and out of the profession over time. Text, seven figures, and 15 tables detail the data on the "teacher pipeline"; examine who enters it (such as race/ethnicity and gender); provide data on undergraduate academic experiences of teachers including major field of study, type of postsecondary institution attended, college entrance examination scores and grade point averages, and undergraduate and advanced course taking; and also look at early teaching experiences. The report reaches the conclusion that graduates who enter the teacher pipeline differ both demographically and academically from those not in the pipeline, and notes that these differences have tended to overshadow differences among types of teachers. The report lays the groundwork for future studies analyzing persistence in teaching, and voices the hope that further development of empirical criteria will allow better evaluation of teacher postsecondary education and teacher professional development. Statistical data are presented in 27 compendium tables. Also included are two appendixes: one a glossary that defines the variables, and the other containing technical notes and explaining the methodology. (CH) AU - Henke, Robin R.

An introductory chapter reviews the history of HBCUs and discusses the current status in terms of enrollment, degrees conferred, staff, salaries, and finances. Nine text figures and 54 summary tables provide detailed data organized into the same categories. Supplemental information is given for all public and private institutions to allow comparative evaluations with all institutions. The report finds that: (1) as a group, HBCUs entered a period of growth during the late l980s, with some of the increase due to a larger proportion of black students choosing HBCUs; (2) over the 1976-1994 period the student racial/ethnic mix became more diversified, especially for degree recipients; (3) the number of degrees conferred has also risen since 1990, due mainly to increased enrollments; (4) financial and faculty resources at public HBCUs are stronger than those at private institutions; (6) faculty salaries at all HBCUs have increased at about the same rate as at all institutions, but nevertheless remain at a lower level than institutions of higher education in general; (7) educational expenditures at all HBCUs have increased, but at a lesser rate than at comparable institutions. Appendixes include a guide to the sources used and the comparability of data, information on methodology, and a glossary. (CH) AU - Hoffman, Charlene M.

Development of a new immunoassay format for molinate, with detection limits of 0.5-1 ppb, enabled, for the first time, the direct analysis of molinate in water samples across the full range of usual field residue levels, without need for pre-concentration. A highly sensitive field assay for urea herbicides (diuron limit of detection of 0.15 ppb) has also been developed, based on a double-layer coating with protein A and urea herbicide-specific antibody. Each assay was only slightly affected by ions and turbidity, which are often problems in subsurface and surface water matrices respectively. For both formats of the molinate and diuron immunoassays, close correlations were obtained between herbicide levels determined by the immunoassay and by instrumental analysis, using field water samples.

Mortality was significantly higher for reproductive males (100%, n = 68) than for females (3%, n = 186) within the first 3 d of capture. Total lipid and triacylglycerol levels in male, female and juvenile Euphausia superba were analysed and compared. All reproductive male krill analysed from this swarm had low lipid levels (1 to 3% dry weight) with negligible triacylglycerol stores (0 to 2% of total lipid). Somatic lipid stores in female and juvenile krill ranged from 8 to 30%, of which up to 40% was triacylglycerol. The levels of algal sterols in the digestive gland of males, females and juveniles indicate that all krill had been feeding recently. An analysis of the sex ratio of krill catches derived from data collected over seven summers from the Prydz Bay region showed a decrease in the proportion of males with increasing size. There was a sharp decline in numbers of male krill once they attained a length of 51 to 55 mm. Low lipid levels in redroductive male krill may be due to reproductive costs. The resulting low storage-lipid levels are accompanied by high mortality in male krill. JF - Marine Biology AU - Virtue, P AU - Nichols, P D AU - Nicol, S AU - Hosie, G AD - CSIRO Div.

At Kapalga, the average annual rainfall of about 1200 mm mostly falls during a 6 month wet season. Grasses, green in the wet, begin to desiccate during the early dry season. Perennial grasses cure more slowly than the annuals, and grasses in drainages cure later than those on ridges. Fire weather is usually most severe in September-October (late dry season) and least severe in January-February (late wet season). As the dry season progresses to its peak, daily wind patterns change, daily maximum temperatures increase to an average of 36 degree C, dew points drop to a minimum, and soil moisture is severely depleted. In the early dry season (cf. later), fires have a greater tendency to go out at night compared with later perhaps because winds then are calmer, fuels are more discontinuous, and relights from burning logs are less likely to occur. Fire weather in the north of Australia appears less severe than that in the southeast of the continent where socially disastrous fires occur periodically. JF - Australian journal of ecology.

In an evaluation using 115 diarrheal stool specimens and culture as the "gold standard," the assay showed a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 100%. An ICT11-based sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 98% for direct detection of toxin from stool samples compared with those of culture. Thus, ICT11-based assays will be useful for screening for ETBF.

The algorithm works by predicting the behaviour of a data set based on patterns present within the data. This differs from previous analyses in that it permits classification of the dynamics governing the system. In a chaotic system, predictions become exponentially poor as one attempts to predict further ahead, due to the sensitivity of the system to initial conditions. However, in a system governed by stochastic noise, no such deterioration in predictions is observed. This work represents the first application of the algorithm to oceanic transect data, and our results show a less than exponential decline in predictive ability. The behaviour of the prediction curves is closely related to that of the corresponding autocorrelation functions, indicative of a stochastic, but spatially coherent data set with significant positive autocorrelations. Furthermore, successful prediction is correlated with the sum of the chlorophyll power spectrum. We conclude that the predictive ability of the algorithm is greatest when spatial variation in the chlorophyll transects is high.

During that time, parents were educated about sources of lead, home visits were made, and iron was given to children with low ferritin. In the 79 children studied, blood lead levels declined by 27% during the study. The home environmental score, which assessed the amount of lead in the home, declined by 50% at the second home visit, and by 75% at the third home visit. Home environment scores of zero were obtained for 20% of the children. Children with low and high initial home environment scores showed parallel declines in blood lead levels. Iron levels were unrelated to lead levels. The home environment score is related to the blood lead level to children before intervention.

Air pollution monitoring was done on 218 subjects. Particulate exposure was highest for those who used wood for cooking, and coughed more than users of other fuels. Those who cooked with charcoal were exposed to more particulates than those who cooked with liquefied petroleum gas or electricity, but there was no difference in coughing between those who cooked with charcoal and those who used more modern fuels. Changing from wood cooking to charcoal cooking could reduce acute health effects from cooking with wood, although high levels of carbon monoxide would be generated and would have to be vented.

Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62605994; ED399859 AB - This report presents selected findings from the 1993/94 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study First Followup survey. The report found that only 36 percent of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients completed their degree within 4 years of beginning postsecondary education. Students who delayed their entry into postsecondary education took longer to complete their degree, as did those who began postsecondary education at a less-than-4-year institution. The first section presents a brief profile of the study's nationally representative sample of 10,080 recipients of bachelor's degrees at 648 institutions in 1992-93, including gender and race, age at degree receipt, degree-granting institution, and point of entry into postsecondary education. The second section presents an analysis of the amount of time taken to complete the degree and includes such data as sample definition and outcome measures, timing of entry into postsecondary education, time between high school graduation and bachelor's degree completion, interruptions in enrollment, time between entry into postsecondary education and bachelor's degree completion, gender and race, timing of entry and preparation for college, institutions attended, major field of study, and debt. The compendium provides detailed tables and describes the employment and enrollment experiences of this population in the year after graduation. Appended are a glossary of terms and technical notes on the study methodology. (CK) AU - McCormick, Alexander C.

The data indicate the number of staff employed by postsecondary institutions by staff categories such as faculty, managers, and research assistants, and by personal characteristics such as full-time/part-time employment status and sex. Data are presented by level and control of institution, employment status, race/ethnicity, sex, primary occupation, faculty tenure status, faculty rank, and new hires. Highlights of the data are outlined in three areas: (1) overview of staff in postsecondary and higher education institutions, (2) faculty growth, distribution, rank and tenure in institutions of higher education, and (3) new hires in institutions of higher education. Among these highlights were: there were about 2.7 million employees in postsecondary institutions in 1993, about 2.1 percent of the total U.S. labor force; there has been growth in the percent of faculty in two-year institutions and in those working part-time; and there was a substantial decline in the full-time new hires over the previous year. Six appendices include additional tables for postsecondary institutions and institutions of higher education, technical notes on the survey methodology, the survey questionnaire, and a glossary.

The experiences of this group in the areas of academic enrollment, degree completion, employment, public service, and other adult decisions will be followed for about 12 years. Data will be used to address issues in a number of educational policy areas such as educational attainment, access to graduate and professional schools, the rate of return on educational investment, and patterns of preparation and engagement in teaching. The B&B:93 cohort consisted of about 12,500 individuals who were determined to be potentially eligible for followup in 1994. Responses were obtained for 11,810 students. This report reviews: (1) the study purpose and design; (2) the B&B:93 sample design; (3) data collection: telephone and field survey procedures; (4) response rates; (5) evaluation of the survey instrument; (6) the transcript component of B&B:93/94; and (7) the weights development documentation for the B&B:93/94 sample.

AN - 62594296; ED400256 AB - This report presents the findings from the "Nutrition Education in Public Schools, K-12" survey that was designed to provide data on the status of nutrition education in U.S. public schools. Questionnaires were sent to 1,000 school principals of a nationally representative sample of U.S. elementary, middle, and high schools. The survey requested information on: placement of nutrition education in the curriculum, and the content, coordination, and reasons for nutrition education. Survey findings are presented for all schools and frequently by instructional level, enrollment size, metropolitan status, and geographic region. Highlights of the survey's findings include: (1) practically all public schools (99 percent) offer nutrition education somewhere in the curriculum, and many integrate it within the total curriculum (70 percent); (2) overall, schools focus on increasing students' knowledge about what is meant by good nutrition, with less emphasis on influencing students' motivation, attitudes, and eating behaviors; (3) the majority of schools (61 percent) have no nutrition education coordinator, so teachers are responsible for their own lessons; (4) over 90 percent of all schools offer nutrition through the school meals program; and (5) topics in nutrition covered by more than 90 percent of all schools are: the relationship between diet and health; finding and choosing healthy foods; nutrients and their food courses; the Food Guide Pyramid, and Dietary Guidelines and goals.

AN - 21281462; 11701757 AB - The hypothesis has been put forward that humans and wildlife species adverse suffered adverse health effects after exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Reported adverse effects include declines in populations, increases in cancers, and reduced reproductive function. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a workshop in April 1995 to bring together interested parties in an effort to identify research gaps related to this hypothesis and to establish priorities for future research activities. Approximately 90 invited participants were organized into work groups developed around the principal reported health effects-carcinogenesis, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and immunotoxicity-as well as along the risk assessment paradigm-hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Attention focused on both ecological and human health effects. In general, group felt that the hypothesis warranted a concerted research effort to evaluate its validity and that research should focus primarily on effects on development of reproductive capability, on improved exposure assessment, and on the effects of mixtures. This report summarizes the discussions of the work groups and details the recommendations for additional research.

AN - 21261596; 11703653 AB - Recent studies indicate that immune development in humans and other species may be altered after perinatal exposure to immunotoxic environmental contaminants. However, limited information is available regarding appropriate tests that may adequately detect developmental immunotoxic compounds. Experiments in which pregnant laboratory rodents were exposed to a variety of immunotoxic environmental agents indicate that fetal thymus and liver immune cells may be quantitatively and qualitatively altered by immunotoxicant exposure and, thus, may serve as sensitive markers of developmental immunotoxicant exposure. In particular, depression of fetal thymic cell counts appears to be a common event following gestational exposure to immunotoxicants that produce this response in adult animals. Total hematopoietic cell counts in fetal liver, however, may be a poor indicator of immunotoxicant exposure. Altered marker expression in both fetal thymus and liver appears to be a highly sensitive indicator of gestational immunotoxicant exposure. Together, these reports suggest that immune tests with high predictability for immunosuppression in adults may also be appropriate for the detection of developmental immunotoxic agents.

This work extends previous work in five other respects. It (i) proves that Kirkwood and Walker's (G.P. Kirkwood and M.H. Walker. 1984. Aust. J. Mar. Freshwater Res. 35: 601-606) maximum likelihood estimator and its extensions are consistent with a generalization of Beverton and Holt's (R.J.H. Beverton and S.J. Holt. 1957. Fish. Invest. Ser. 2 Mar. Fish. G.B. Minist. Agric. Fish. Food No. 19) population dynamics and tag shedding model; (ii) unifies methods for exact and pooled times at liberty; (iii) proves that one assumption can be eliminated and two others relaxed; (iv) explicitly defines and incorporates the probability of tagged fish remaining alive after type I mortality and the probability of tag retention after type I shedding; and (v) relaxes the assumption that nonreporting rate needs correction. A special case of this model is used to analyse a set of data from a double tagging experiment on a carcharhinid shark (Carcharhinus tilstoni).

Animal densities were manipulated by manual removal in architecturally complex boulder-cobble riffles and simpler bedrock riffles, with the complexity of smaller-scale architecture held constant. Responses in algal density were recorded before and after a month of manipulations, together with grazer colonization rate and body sizes. The experiment was carried out in winter and again in summer. The interaction between grazers and algae differed between habitats and seasons. In winter, when algae were growing, the more complex riffle-scale architecture in the boulder-cobble riffles created a refuge from grazing for algae. This was probably the result of the movement abilities of the grazers interacting with habitat architecture, and potentially also due to the control of predatory fish densities by habitat architecture resulting in greater predation pressure on grazers in boulder-cobble riffles. Therefore the impact of highly complex riffle-scale architecture was to weaken the strength of the trophic interaction between algae and their grazers by reducing grazer densities, while potentially strengthening the trophic interaction between grazers and their fish predators.

AN - 15838415; 4009905 AB - Among three tilapiine species, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), O. mossambicus (Peters) and O. niloticus (L.), fifteen banding positions of haemoglobin were resolved using citric acid-aminopropylmorpholine pH 7.0 buffer. O. mossambicus and O. aureus displayed 7 and 8 fixed band locations, respectively, whereas eight strains of O. niloticus from Asian cultured and African wild populations showed a total of 14. Variability in the O. niloticus strains, manifested as presence or absence of haemoglobin bands, was observed in banding positions 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14. Six banding positions in O. niloticus were shared with O. mossambicus and 8 with O. aureus. A dendrogram constructed from distance coefficients between population pairs using the presence or absence data showed the close affinity among O. niloticus strains belonging to the O. niloticus niloticus subspecies. A slight separation of Kenya O. niloticus from the O. niloticus niloticus strains is consistent with its subspecific distinction as O. niloticus vulcani. Among three species, O. niloticus had a closer affinity to O. aureus than to O. mossambicus. The phylogenetic relation-ships using differences in haemoglobin patterns and the higher genetic variability of O. niloticus reflect similar results obtained from existing studies using allozymes. In general, the presence of multiple fish haemoglobins is attributed to their adaptability to haeterogeneous environments. This attribute is typical of tilapias.

The first transition between these stages occurred from 90-110-mm carapace width (CW), as immature crabs attained physiological maturity. This initial stage of maturity was characterized by small-clawed "adolescent" crabs. The second transition took place between 140 and 160-mm CW as adolescent males developed the large-clawed "adult" morphometry. Functional maturity was quantified by the presence of "mating scars" on the front ambulatory legs and sternum of a male. Although some adolescent crabs mated, functional maturity was far more prevalent among adult crabs, especially those in late intermolt. This is attributed to late intermolt, adult males having a greater competitive advantage during mating. The minimum legal size-limits enforced throughout Australia will protect immature males, but do not necessarily ensure that they reach the adult stage or mate successfully.

Transport models are used to estimate transport. In an aquifer contaminated by trichloroethylene, a second moment method was used to estimate the risk of exceeding safe doses. The probability is a function of trichloroethylene concentration variability, which includes hydrogeologic factors, and the human response variability. As an example, data from contaminated groundwater at the Hill Air Force Base, Utah, was input. Although different strategies to remediate contaminated groundwater can be compared using this method, characterization of safe doses for humans may be inaccurate, since the distribution may not be normal.

After one day and one month of inhalation, the rate constant for mixed function oxidase was increased compared to controls, but the rate constant for glutathione transferase decreased. The mixed function oxidase rate constant was lower after two years of exposure than after one month of exposure, although the initial increase was identical. Solubility of methylene chloride in tissues was not altered by long-term exposure, except for the partition coefficient between fat and air, which was slightly decreased.

After exposure to 1 ppm or 5 ppm nitrogen dioxide for one hour, levels were more than four and more than ten times, respectively, the levels found after control cells were exposed to air. When exogenous glycolaldehyde was added to the basolateral fluid, uptake of radiolabeled ouabain sensitive basolateral rubidium was inhibited. When the glycolaldehyde was generated by nitrogen dioxide exposure, however, the uptake of the substance was elevated for a sustained period. Therefore, exposure nitrogen dioxide must produce alterations in sodium and potassium ATPase activity in the monolayers.

Since then other water supplies have been affected. In the effort to develop simple method for detecting the organism, a way of concentrating the Cryptosporidium has been developed. The method uses a modified blood separating centrifuge. Water was pumped in through the input line for blood. After centrifugation the water in the channel normally used for blood separation was subjected to immunofluorescence assay. When input was 150 ml/min, recovery of Cryptosporidium from spiked samples was close to 100%. Results were unaffected by variations in turbidity.

Fish bioaccumulate mercury, and ingestion of fish containing mercury can have adverse effects on human health. The FDA and EPA have set exposure limits for mercury, which is a neurotoxic agent, although EPA standards are far more conservative than those of the FDA. A synthetic gene has been developed that may enable plants to remove mercury from growth medium. In addition, the presence of mercury in dental amalgams has come under investigation as a possible public health hazard, although FDA, the Public Health Service, the American Dental Association, and most dentists attest to their safety. A brief overview of the controversy is presented.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Children and Families of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62599091; ED401352 AB - A hearing was held before the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Families of the Committee on Labor and Human Relations to discuss possible solutions to the problem of juvenile crime. An opening statement by parents whose young child was murdered by an adolescent set the scene for the panel discussion that followed. James Fox, a professor of juvenile justice, described the crisis in juvenile crime as it exists and asserted that the public sector must become as involved as the private sector, and that violence prevention efforts are needed in the early grades. Journalist Edward Humes considered the role of the courts and their present inadequacies in the face of increased juvenile crime. John DiIulio, professor and director of the Brookings Institution's Center for Public Management, explored the vital role inner-city churches can play in crime prevention. The Reverend Eugene Rivers described some efforts churches have made in crime prevention. Law professor Jimmy Gurule expressed the need for comprehensive services from multiple providers, and Jerry Regier of the Oklahoma Department of Juvenile Justice described some of that state's crime prevention initiatives. Panelists also discussed the role of the school and athletic programs, and the adverse effects of television on juvenile attitudes. Prepared statements of these speakers and of Senators Ashcroft and Dodd are included in an appendix.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-06-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Ion channel expression in PMA-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages. AN - 78737318; 9139125 AB - Ion channel expression was studied in THP-1 human monocytic leukemia cells induced to differentiate into macrophage-like cells by exposure to the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Inactivating delayed rectifier K+ currents, IDR, present in almost all undifferentiated THP-1 monocytes, were absent from PMA-differentiated macrophages. Two K+ channels were observed in THP-1 cells only after differentiation into macrophages, an inwardly rectifying K+ channel (IIR) and a Ca2+-activated maxi-K channel (IBK). IIR was a classical inward rectifier, conducting large inward currents negative to EK and very small outward currents. IIR was blocked in a voltage-dependent manner by Cs+, Na+, and Ba2+, block increasing with hyperpolarization. Block by Na+ and Ba2+ was time-dependent, whereas Cs+ block was too fast to resolve. Rb+ was sparingly permeant. In cell-attached patches with high [K+] in the pipette, the single IIR channel conductance was approximately 30 pS and no outward current could be detected. IBK channels were observed in cell-attached or inside-out patches and in whole-cell configuration. In cell-attached patches the conductance was approximately 200-250 pS and at potentials positive to approximately 100 mV a negative slope conductance of the unitary current was observed, suggesting block by intracellular Na+. IBK was activated at large positive potentials in cell-attached patches; in inside-out patches the voltage-activation relationship was shifted to more negative potentials by increased [Ca2+]. Macroscopic IBK was blocked by external TEA+ with half block at 0.35 mM. THP-1 cells were found to contain mRNA for Kv1.3 and IRK1. Levels of mRNA coding for these K+ channels were studied by competitive PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and were found to change upon differentiation in the same direction as did channel expression: IRK1 mRNA increased at least 5-fold, and Kv1.3 mRNA decreased on average 7-fold. Possible functional correlates of the changes in ion channel expression during differentiation of THP-1 cells are discussed.

AN - 78735074; 9139123 AB - The THP-1 human monocytic leukemia cell line is a useful model of macrophage differentiation. Patch clamp methods were used to identify five types of ion channels in undifferentiated THP-1 monocytes. (i) Delayed rectifier K+ current, IDR, was activated by depolarization to potentials positive to -50 mV, inactivated with a time constant of several hundred msec, and recovered from inactivation with a time constant approximately21 sec. IDR was inhibited by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), tetraethylammonium (TEA+), and potently by charybdotoxin (ChTX). (ii) Ca-activated K+ current (ISK) dominated whole-cell currents in cells studied with 3-10 micron [Ca2+]i. ISK was at most weakly voltage-dependent, with reduced conductance at large positive potentials, and was inhibited by ChTX and weakly by TEA+, Cs+, and Ba2+, but not 4-AP or apamin. Block by Cs+ and Ba2+ was enhanced by hyperpolarization. (iii) Nonselective cation current, Icat, appeared at voltages above +20 mV. Little time-dependence was observed, and a panel of channel blockers was without effect. (iv) Chloride current, ICl, was present early in experiments, but disappeared with time. (v) Voltage-activated H+ selective current is described in detail in a companion paper (DeCoursey & Cherny, 1996. J. Membrane Biol. 152:2). The ion channels in THP-1 cells are compared with channels described in other macrophage-related cells.

AN - 78727596; 9139124 AB - Depolarization-activated H+-selective currents were studied using whole-cell and excised-patch voltage clamp methods in human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cells, before and after being induced by phorbol ester to differentiate into macrophage-like cells. The H+ conductance, gH, activated slowly during depolarizing pulses, with a sigmoidal time course. Fitted by a single exponential following a delay, the activation time constant, tauact was roughly 10 sec at threshold potentials, decreasing at more positive potentials. Tail currents upon repolarization decayed mono-exponentially at all potentials. The tail current time constant, tautail, was voltage dependent, decreasing with hyperpolarization from 2-3 sec at 0 mV to approximately 200 msec at -100 mV. Surprisingly, although tauact depended strongly on pHo, tautail was completely independent of pHo. H+ currents were inhibited by Zn2+. Increasing pHo or decreasing pHi shifted the voltage-activation relationship to more negative potentials, tending to activate the gH at any given voltage. Studied in excised, inside-out membrane patches, H+ currents were larger and activated much more rapidly at lower bath pH (i.e., pHi). In THP-1 cells differentiated into macrophages, the H+ current density was reduced by one-half, and tauact was slower by about twofold. The properties of H+ channels in THP-1 cells and in other macrophage-related cells are compared.

AN - 62701835; ED397529 AB - Of all the areas within public elementary and secondary education that are experiencing rapid change, none is experiencing more turmoil than school finance. This publication contains papers 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 to address interesting questions faced by the school-finance profession. Following the introduction and overview by William J. Fowler, Jr., the first three papers present three perspectives on what the nation's data needs are in the area of school finance. Specifically, the papers examine whether recent changes to the NCES financial collection satisfied the data needs of educational policymakers and the school-finance research community. They include: (1) "Recommendations to the National Center for Education Statistics to Improve Its Role Regarding School Finance Data: The Perspective of State Policymakers" (John Augenblick); (2) "Issues and Data Needs in School Finance" (Susan H. Fuhrman); and (3) "A Call for Multiple Intrastate Studies" (William W. Cooley). The remaining three papers concern emerging school-finance topics that pose statistical and measurement problems for NCES: (4) "Estimating the Costs of an Educational Voucher System" (Henry M. Levin and Cyrus E. Driver); (5) "Intrastate Cost Adjustments" (Walter W. McMahon); and (6) "Costs of Measuring and Providing Opportunity to Learn: Preliminary Thoughts" (Allan Odden). Most papers contain references. (LMI) AU - Fowler, William J.

AN - 62697521; ED398289 AB - The National Center for Education Statistics recently released results of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). SASS, an integrated survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers, is the most comprehensive survey of the school work force and teacher supply and demand ever conducted in the United States. First administered in 1987-88, SASS was repeated in 1990-91 and in 1993-94. From now on, it will be repeated at 5-year intervals, with the next administration planned for 1998-99. One year after the SASS, the Teacher Followup Survey collects information from SASS teachers, sampling those who have left teaching and those who have continued to teach. This report uses SASS data to develop a comprehensive portrait of public and private schools and staffing in the United States by focusing on school characteristics. Each table provides data separately for public and private schools. Within each sector, data are shown by community type and then by school level, size, and percent minority enrollment. The nation's 107,000 schools enrolled a total of 46.6 million students in 1993-94. About 5 million were enrolled in private schools. Students were served by about 2.9 million teachers in that year. Appendixes present public school, state, and private school tables, standard errors for selected tables, and technical notes. (Contains 41 figures, 64 tables, and 38 appendix tables.)

On six sets of indicators (37 indicators in all), country-level and state-level measures are arrayed side-by-side to facilitate comparison. The indicators are grouped into six categories: (1) background; (2) participation; (3) processes and institutions; (4) achievement and attainment; (5) labor market outcomes; and (6) finance. The presentation of each indicator includes an explanation of what it measures, why it is important, and key results from a comparison of countries and states. Throughout the report, comparisons are most often made in the text among like-sized entities. The presentation of each indicator also includes separate tables for states and countries and graphs that display states and countries together. Supplemental notes and a statistical appendix include supplemental and technical information on how measures in the indicators were calculated, and a glossary is included.

AN - 62604576; ED398932 AB - This 1996 National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) survey gathered data from a national sample of public libraries concerning the current level of public library involvement with the Internet. The purpose of this study was to: (1) provide policymakers, researchers, and library professionals with longitudinal data that measured changes in public library Internet involvement since the first survey in 1994; (2) identify costs for public library Internet services; and (3) identify issues and inform the policy debate concerning public library roles in the electronic networked environment. This final report is divided into three sections: Introduction; Study Results; and Progress and Issues. The introduction discusses the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Library Services and Construction Act/Library Services and Technology Act; intellectual property and the National Information Infrastructure; and an electronic federal depository library program. The second section discusses study methodology; public library demographics; accessing the Internet; the current state of public library Internet connectivity; Internet uses and public access services; and benefits to connecting to the Internet. The third section focuses on disparities; connectivity versus services; the goal of universal service; quality of network services; the life cycle of public library Internet development; and preparation for the next survey. Appendices include the survey instrument, survey alert, and cover letter, and information about the authors. (Contains 27 references, and 45 figures that present survey data.)

AN - 62601607; ED399643 AB - "Strong leadership" is almost always listed as an attribute of successful schools. To learn the views of outstanding school leaders, each regional representative of the U.S. Department of Education (USED) convened a meeting of 25-30 local educators well known for their leadership in sustained school-improvement efforts. The groups were composed of principals, teachers, parents, and others. This report summarizes focus-group participants' views toward and personal experiences with leadership for sustained reform. Respondents said that effective leaders cultivated a broad definition of community and gave voice to all stakeholders; were committed to the dream and adopted key values; used knowledge to minimize failure and encourage risk-taking; demonstrated savvy and persistence; and put to use an array of personal characteristics (humor, passion, empathy, creativity, common sense, and patience). The sample reported that they utilized three kinds of self-assessment strategies--individual, small-group, and formal. Competence in designing and implementing self-assessment plans should be a central element of leaders' professional development. Two tables are included. Appendices contain excerpts from the Leadership Rubric aligned with provisions of the Kentucky Education Reform Act and a list of additional resources. (LMI) AU - Nadeau, Adel AU - Leighton, Mary S.

Using pLBT, stable insertion mutations were generated at high frequencies in Vibrio sp. S141 and Pseudomonas sp. S91, and the interrupted genes could be monitored for their pattern of regulation. Genetic screens isolated mutants defective in a variety of activities. We describe the construction and use of pLBT as a tool for reporter gene mutant analysis in bacteria other than well-characterized laboratory strains.

However, toxicity measurements of real samples that contain surfactants above a particular concentration, termed the critical toxicity concentration (CTC) are not valid. These samples require dilution before the test is performed, and because the relationship between toxicity and concentration is not linear above the CTC, the EC50 cannot be extrapolated back to give the toxicity of the original concentrated sample and a true estimation of toxicity is therefore not possible. This phenomenon may be related to the minimum surface tension requirement of the bacteria or other physical properties of the surfactant such as the tendency to assemble at interfaces and surfaces and the tendency to form micelles.

Newly born clutches from two viviparous Australian skink species, Tiliqua rugosa and Egernia stokesii, were either left with their mothers, separated at birth and kept with a foster mother, or kept completely isolated from any adults. In experimental trials mothers were presented with their own and with non-related young in gauze bags, and their attention to each young lizard was measured by the number of directed tongue flicks and the time in contact. There was a consistent tendency in both species for mothers to direct more attention to their own young, whether they had been kept together or apart. Foster mothers directed more attention to their own non-familiar young than to their familiar foster young. In reciprocal experiments, young lizards of both species consistently directed more attention to their own mothers than to unrelated females, even when they had been isolated from their mothers from birth. Olfactory cues are probably important for recognition. Using these cues, lizards can recognize kin, and discriminate between kin and non-kin even if the latter have been in close association. It was not possible to determine if the discrimination was genetically based, or if it was acquired during or shortly after birth. The presence of mother-offspring recognition suggests that family groups may be a component in the social organization of these species. JF - Animal Behaviour AU - Main, A R AU - Bull, C M AD - Sch.

Embryos demonstrated evidence of cardiotoxicity when exposed to concentrations of at least 7 mu g/l. In addition, embryo development was abnormal at that dose. Mortality resulted from exposure to higher doses. Liver cell cultures did not demonstrate alterations in activity of lactate dehydrogenase or protein, but ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and cytochrome P4501A1 were induced. Whole extract inhibited synthesis of vitellogenin, which is dependent upon estradiol for formation. The nonpolar extract demonstrated similar effects, but only an insignificant inhibition of vitellogenin. Arylhydrocarbon receptor binding was shown for whole extract and all fractions. Neither Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin nor tetrachlorodibenzofuran were detected in the extracts. Dioxinlike responses from exposure to combustion products of trichloroethylene seemed to come from compounds that were not associated with dioxins.

Lower than expected mortality rates were found for those with the greatest exposure, and cancer incidence was not different from controls for this group. Among the workers having the first alachlor exposure at least 15 years prior to the study, colorectal cancer was the most common, and was found in 2 subjects. Exposure to alachlor did not result in any appreciable effect on either parameter. Since exposure during agricultural use is lower than exposure during manufacture, the risks for agricultural workers would be expected to be lower.

The landfills contained PCBs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Effects included those of tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Nondioxin type effects were also found. Dose related responses in several hepatic enzymes, including ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase were found for dust and soil samples. All samples demonstrated dose related declines in serum levels of total thyroxine, although the three extracts had widely differing TCDD toxic equivalent values. Uterine wet weight was increased by extracts of soil and air, which contained 346 and 175 mg PCB/kg, respectively. Measurement of TCDD toxic equivalents may underestimate the risks to organisms from nondioxin type effects, including effects on thyroxine.

The 60 indicators have been divided into 6 areas: (1) access, participation, and progress; (2) achievement, attainment, and curriculum; (3) economic and other outcomes of education; (4) size, growth, and output of educational institutions; (5) climate, classrooms, and diversity in 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. An overview synthesizes evidence from the 60 indicators and other sources on 4 important education issues: education and worker productivity; preparation for work; minorities in higher education; and teachers' working conditions. 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.

AN - 62593205; ED399302 AB - This publication provides basic descriptive information about the 100 largest school districts in the United States and its outlying areas. Almost one in every four public school students in the country is served by one of these districts. They are distinguished from smaller districts by characteristics other than sheer size, such as average and median school size, pupil-teacher ratios, numbers of high school graduates, numbers of students receiving special education services, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment. The 100 largest districts employ 19.9% of the nation's public school teachers and account for 16.6% of the nation's schools and 19.2% of its high school graduates. Almost all of these districts encompass large cities, but only about half are confined to the city limits. Three states, Florida, Texas, and California, accounted for over one-third of these districts. More than half of these districts have over 50% minority enrollment. Current expenditures per pupil in the 100 largest school districts ranged from a low of $2,052 in the Puerto Rican Department of Education to a high of $9,501 in Newark, New Jersey Public Schools. This information is found in 10 basic tables, which are preceded by 3 text tables that establish the context for the information on the 100 largest districts. Appendixes list the largest districts, provide some identifying information, and list the districts alphabetically.

We investigated the effects of volatile compounds released from the root, shoot and seed meal tissues of canola (Brassica napus) and Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) on the mycelial growth of five soilborne pathogens of cereals--Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, Pythium irregulare and Bipolaris sorokiniana. Three isolates of each species, originally collected from the roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley grass (Hordeum leporinum) in southern Australia, were exposed to volatiles released in vitro when sterile water was added to freeze-dried Brassica tissues. The root and shoot tissues of both Brassica species were more suppressive at flowering than maturity and mustard tissues were generally more suppressive than canola. The degree of fungal suppression by the various Brassica tissues was related to the concentration and type of isothiocyanates released, which varied with Brassica species, tissue age and tissue type. There were significant differences in the sensitivity of the fungal species and among isolates of each species. Gaeumannomyces and Rhizoctonia were generally the most sensitive to the volatiles released, Pythium and Bipolaris the least. The results indicate that the effectiveness of fungal suppression by Brassica crops will depend upon the species, age and type of Brassica tissue, which influence the type and concentration of isothiocyanates evolved, and the sensitivity of the pathogen.

CBL techniques treat the well mixed layer of air between heights of, say, 100 m and 1000 m as an integrator of surface fluxes along the path of a column of air moving over the landscape. They calculate the average surface flux from the scalar concentration in and above the mixed layer, and the CBL height. The flux estimates are averaged over regions of 10-10 super(4) km super(2) extending 10 to 100 km upwind. An integral form of the CBL budget is used to estimate daily regional rates of CO sub(2) uptake and evaporation from three data sets. There was plausible agreement between the estimates and locally measured fluxes. CBL budgets have great potential for estimating regional scalar fluxes, but there is an urgent need for validation through direct measurements of fluxes and budget parameters. NBL budgets are useful when low-level, radiative inversions inhibit vertical mixing. Surface scalar fluxes can then be estimated from the rate of concentration change below the inversion. An example application for estimating the nocturnal CO sub(2) flux is given. While simple in concept, NBL budgets are more difficult to apply in practice because of the unpredictability of the depth of the layer and sometimes, its absence altogether. On the other hand, the depth of the atmospheric mixing chamber is better defined, few assumptions are required and the concentration changes usually will be larger and hence more easily detectable than in CBL budgetting.

A model of water dynamics (WATDYN) is developed for estimating plant available soil moisture (PAM) on particular sites. Potentially the model could be applied anywhere in the savanna regions of the world, using a minimum of readily available site data and standard weather records. It calculates water distribution in the soil profile and models water uptake using a modified Penman-Monteith equation involving separate calculations of soil evaporation and transpirational loss from each soil layer. Default data are provided where site data are unavailable. Vegetation is modelled only to account for radiation interception and for resistances to transpiration and evaporation. Growth is calculated on the basis of transpiration efficiency (adjusted for temperature, vapour pressure deficit, soil fertility and the time of the year) and death as a function of temperature, vapour pressure deficit, water stress and the amount of green biomass. Dead biomass is reduced as a function of soil moisture, temperature and the amount of litter. Maximum leaf biomass of woody plants is considered to be constant from year to year.

Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were injected b.i.d. with either cocaine HCl (30 mg/kg) or isotonic saline (1 ml/kg) from gestational days 7-21. On the fifth postnatal day, pups were subjected to either 20 min of 0.21 or 0.08 fractional inspired oxygen (F sub(1)O sub(2)). Under a strictly timed protocol, both carotid bodies were removed from each pup, placed in an antioxidant solution to prevent DA breakdown, and subsequently analyzed via HPLC with electrochemical detection to determine carotid body DA and DOPAC content. Two-way ANOVA revealed decreases in DA in cocaine-exposed pups. No HVA was detectable in any of the samples. The 0.08 F sub(1)O sub(2) condition decreased DA compared to 0.21 F sub(1)O sub(2). The additive consequences of DA depletion resulting from the combination of prenatal cocaine and postnatal hypoxia decreased carotid body DA to 14% of control levels, with several animals exhibiting DA content below detection limits. Considering the role of the carotid body in the ventilatory response to hypoxia, these data suggest that prenatal cocaine exposure may adversely affect the normal chemoreceptive function of the carotid body.

Although many such procedures have been developed, suitable experimental designs have not been. In this paper, I present a framework for calculating the accuracy and precision of estimates of movement rates for different experimental designs combined with an estimator, thereby providing a basis for collecting sufficient data to estimate movement rates to a chosen accuracy and precision. The framework is used to evaluate a set of experimental designs for a tagging program for school shark, Galeorhinus galeus, when Hilborn's maximum likelihood method is used to estimate movement rates. In this application, the minimum, mean, maximum, and three common norms of both relative bias and relative standard error of estimates of all movement rates were each regressed on the total number of fish released as a power function. From these regression equations, one can calculate the number of releases to achieve a certain level of precision and accuracy in estimates of movement rates or vice versa. Extensions of Hilborn's (1990) model and other statistical movement models can be examined similarly. JF - Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences AU - Xiao, Yongshun AD - CSIRO Div.

PMNs can also be activated by exposure to some PCBs, and may enhance the effects of LPS. Aroclor 1248 was administered to female rats 90 minutes after pretreatment with a low dose of LPS. Animals were Neither compound induced hepatic injury when used alone, but the combination caused alterations in enzyme activity measured in plasma. The combination increased hepatic necrosis, although it did not increase the accumulation of PMNs above that which was found in the rats treated with LPS alone. In vitro studies showed that PMNs produced superoxide anions and degranulated after Aroclor 1248 exposure. The cytotoxicity mediated by PMNs was increased after Aroclor exposure.

More than 120 people living in a town in Chile having high drinking water concentrations of inorganic arsenic were investigated for methylation capacity by analyzing urine for methylated biomarkers, monomethylarsonate, and dimethylarsinate (MMA and DMA, respectively). Controls were nearly 100 people residing in a nearby town having drinking water with little arsenic content. High MMA and DMA levels were found in males, smokers, with high exposures. Lower MMA and DMA levels were found in longtime residents, females, and people of the Atacameo ethnic group. No methylation threshold was found, even for those exposed to high levels of arsenic. Differences between individuals varied widely. Inorganic arsenic levels did not vary much, and were similar to ranges found in other studies.

Hearing before the Subcommittee on Education, Training, Employment and Housing of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session. AN - 62586072; ED404468 AB - This document records oral and written testimony given at a hearing before a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The testimony pertains to veterans' preferences in hiring in the federal government and problems veterans are having in being reemployed after stints of active duty or during reductions in force (RIFs) at federal agencies. Those testifying included members of the House of Representatives, representatives of veterans' organizations, and officials of the Clinton Administration. According to the House members and the representatives of veterans' organizations, veterans have been faring badly in applications for employment and in protection against RIFs because bureaucrats do not support veterans and do not follow the law. The legislators have proposed bills that would provide for redress for veterans hurt by bureaucrats' failure to follow the law of preference in hiring. Administration officials, however, pointed out statistics that show that hiring of veterans has increased greatly during the past several years and that veterans have fared much better than nonveterans during RIFs.

Findings from "The Condition of Education, No. 1. AN - 62680011; ED396617 AB - This booklet summarizes major conclusions and the statistical evidence supporting them concerning how changes in higher education revenue and expenditure are related to institutional enrollments, tuition and fee charges, and student financial aid, as well as the overall value of a higher education degree. Findings are organized into the categories of revenue, student financial aid, institutional expenditures, and labor market outcomes. Each major finding is summarized in text, tables, and graphs. These findings include: (1) tuition and fees have increased at all types of higher education institutions over the last decade; (2) tuition and fee income has increased as a source of revenue in most types of higher education institutions; (3) student financial aid, particularly from federal sources, defrays some of the cost to students of attending college; (4) most institutions have increased the amounts they spend on scholarships and fellowships; (5) expenditures per full-time equivalent (FTE) student increased at most institutions but the percentage they increased varies widely; (6) expenditures per FTE student are related to complex interactions among demographic and economic factors; (7) a higher education degree confers a substantial economic advantage to college graduates; and (8) the earnings advantage of completing college increased between 1970 and 1993 for both male and female graduates.

The numbers of students and teachers are reported in the same categories. The number of students is also reported by race/ethnicity and grade level. Tables present data by three classification schemes: religious and nonsectarian categories, association membership, and private school typology. The Private School Survey (PSS) is designed to collect data from all private schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey, conducted in 1993-94 by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for the National Center for Education Statistics, is the primary data source for this report. A total of 26,093 private schools completed the survey, an overall response rate of 98 percent. Data from the 1989-90 and 1991-92 PSS's are used for comparison. Selected results include: 98 percent of private schools offered at least some elementary grades, 60 percent offered elementary grades, 31 percent offered a combination of elementary and secondary grades, and the remaining 10 percent offered secondary grades only; approximately 4.8 million students were enrolled in the Nation's private schools in the fall of 1993, and were taught by approximately 338 thousand full-time equivalent teachers. Information is also provided on school orientation and affiliation, grade configuration, enrollment, racial/ethnic composition, numbers of teachers, school size, length of school day, religious affiliation, and private school-association membership. Detailed technical notes and 17 tables are included. Appendices contain standard error tables, values and standard errors for comparison data, item response rates, and a copy of the survey.

The stable isotope and fluid inclusion data of these deposits are best explained by a genetic model in which Sn is leached from the granites by reduced, non-magmatic fluids mixed with late-stage magmatic fluids. These fluids mineralize the overlying dolomite horizons and subjacent faults by a combination of wallrock and boiling induced reactions. The model requires co-incidental release of volatiles and ingress of groundwaters to sustain the leach mechanism. This implies some specific structural/deformational controls on the process and an intimate association between cassiterite-sulfide deposits and volatile-rich granites. The sulfur isotope data show a wide range in values, from about -2 to 20 per mil, and are explained in terms of a near-zero magmatic component and three heavier country-rock sources: the Precambrian Oonah Formation, the Crimson Creek Formation and the Mount Read Volcanics. Following this interpretation, the heavy sulfur isotope values from the Heemskirk Granite (Hajitaheri, 1985) and the Federal-Bassett Fault at Renison (Kitto, 1994) indicate ingress of groundwater into the granites. Salinities of fluid inclusions from the deposits show a restricted range (around 5 to 15 weight percent NaCl equivalent) compared with the range shown by inclusions from alteration zones within the granites (around 5 to 40 weight percent NaCl equivalent). It is suggested that the wide range of salinities in the granites is generated in the critical region of the NaCl-H (sub 2) O system at temperatures around 400 to 500 degrees C and pressures around 400 to 500 bars. The limited range of salinities in the deposits reflects cooling to sub-critical conditions. Cooling through the critical region promotes homogenization of groundwater and magmatic vapor and brine. Condensation of magmatic volatiles within this zone of mixing maintains acidity and promotes fluid-rock reaction. The geochemistry of the granites underlying the Renison Bell area (Bajwah et al., 1995) is interpreted in terms of two granites. The geological relationships indicate the more mafic phase, the Renison Granite, was intruded by the more fractionated Pine Hill Granite. Fluids from the Pine Hill Granite sericitised and tourmalinized both the Renison Granite and Pine Hill Granite along their mutual contact, generating a broad north-east trending zone of alteration. This contact may have been offset by the Federal-Bassett Fault before the Renison deposit was formed. It is suggested that groundwater flow was essentially constrained within this NW-SE trending structure and subsidiary structures. Magmatic volatiles, emanating from deep within the Pine Hill Granite, acidified the reduced groundwater and promoted leaching of the granite. The siting of the Renison deposit on the margin of the Pine Hill Granite is consistent with a strong up-flow zone on the margin of a cooling pluton. The very constant S-isotope signature in the deposit is consistent with a large-scale homogenization process operating over a sustained period. The very large size of the Renison deposit is accounted for by a long-lived groundwater system maintained by the high heat flow from a fractionated granite.

AN - 21351312; 7699068 AB - The exposure of Estonian cokery workers to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons at an oil shale processing plant was assessed by occupational hygiene and biomonitoring measurements. To assess the external dose of exposure to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene concentrations were measured from the breathing zone of workers during a workshift. Skin contamination with pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene was assessed by skin wipe sampling. As a biomarker of exposure to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and as an integral of all possible absorption routes of pyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene concentration was measured from post-shift urine samples. Eighteen percent of the personal air samples exceeded the Finnish threshold limit value of benzol[a]pyrene (10 micrograms/m3). Mean values for benzo[a]pyrene and pyrene were 5.7 micrograms/m3 and 8.1 micrograms/m3, respectively. Based on skin wipe sample analyses, the skin contamination was also obvious. The mean value of benzo[a]pyrene on the samples collected after the shift was 1.2 ng/cm2. In control samples, benzo[a]pyrene was not found. The mean value of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene concentration was 6.0 nmol/mmol creatinine for the exposed workers and 0.5 nmol/mmol creatinine for the controls. This study showed the usefulness of 1-hydroxypyrene as an indicator of internal dose of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. We concluded that the cokery workers at the Kohtla-Jaerve plant are exposed to high concentrations of polynuclear aromatic compounds.

AN - 21264439; 11703642 AB - We have isolated independent Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants at the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) locus from untreated, 60Co gamma-ray-exposed, and 212Bi alpha-exposed cells and identified the molecular changes underlying the mutation determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based exon deletion analysis. Both the parental CHO-K1 cells and the X-ray-sensitive mutant xrs-5 cells were studied. The radiosensitive xrs-5 cells are defective in DNA double-strand break rejoining ability and in V(D)J recombination, which can be complemented by Ku protein. Of the 71 spontaneous CHO-K1 hprt mutants analyzed, 78% showed no change in exon number or size, 20% showed loss of one to eight exons (partial deletion), and 3% showed loss of all nine hprt exons (total deletion). Exposure of CHO-K1 cells to 6 Gy of gamma rays, which reduced survival levels to 10%, produced a high deletion spectrum with 45% of the 20 mutants analyzed showing a loss of one to eight exons and 30% showing total deletion. Exposure to an equitoxic dose of alpha radiation from 212Bi, a 220Rn daughter, resulted in a spectrum similar to the gamma-ray spectrum in that 75% of the 49 mutants analyzed were deletions. To alpha radiation, however, tended to produce larger intragenic deletions than gamma radiation. Of the 92 spontaneous xrs-5 mutants analyzed for deletions, 43% showed a loss of one to eight exons and 14% showed total deletion. This suggests that, in certain regions of the hprt gene, base alterations can be converted into large deletions and alteration in the Ku protein complex can influence this type of mutational process. Exposure to alpha radiation (10% survival) to xrs-5 cells resulted in a deletion spectrum similar to that seen in CHO-K1 cells. Of the 49 mutants analyzed, 43% showed on change in exon number or size, 16% showed a loss of one to eight exons, and 41% showed total deletion. While the defect in xrs-5 cells has a profound effect on spontaneous mutant spectra, this defect does not appear to affect alpha-induced mutation spectra.

AN - 21263212; 11701753 AB - Tobacco smoking causes millions of cancer deaths annually. Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture of thousands of chemicals including many known animal carcinogens. Because many carcinogens from DNA adducts in target animal or human tissues, the detection of the formation of adducts using such methods as postlabeling, immunoassay, fluorescence spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry is a means of monitoring human exposure to tobacco carcinogens. Smokers are at increased risk of cancer in many organs, and studies have revealed either specific adducts related to smoking or increased levels of adducts in the lung, bronchus, larynx, bladder, cervix, and oral mucosa of smokers. In a limited number of studies, the adducts and the carcinogens responsible for them have been identified. Some studies have demonstrated higher levels of adducts in the white blood cells of smokers, while other studies indicate other sources of genotoxic agents, including diet, can contribute to the DNA damage observed in these cells.

AN - 21262211; 11701746 AB - Cancer cells are produced by the accumulation of genetic alterations in somatic cells. Those genetic alterations are produced by xenobiotics, which enter the human body from the environment, and by autobiotics, which are produced in the human body. Food contains many different types of xenobiotic mutagens/carcinogens and tumor promoters. Food can influence the formation of autobiotic mutagens/carcinogens and give rise to tumor-promoting conditions. In spite of this, it can also contain many antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and antitumor-promoting substances. Carcinogenic risk and anticarcinogenic efficacy are hard to express quantitatively; however, holistic approaches that are designed to improve lifestyle are realistic for cancer prevention.

AN - 21262181; 11701752 AB - The causes of much of human cancer remain obscure. The fraction that is spontaneous is unknown and cannot be calculated until all known external causes have been accounted for. This is not a feasible proposition. However, there is substantial evidence that about 80% of human cancer could be avoided by eliminating tobacco consumption; by dietary changes; by reducing infection with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasitic worms; and, in white populations, by avoiding sunburn. Alcohol, occupational and medical carcinogens, and certain patterns of reproductive behavior also contribute to the cancer burden. Cancers that cannot be attributed to these causes, and for which no other causes can be found, could be considered spontaneous and to arise from endogenous processes. Epidemiological evidence suggests that spontaneous and induced cancers share the same mechanism. Cancer is a genetic disorder of somatic cells. An accumulation of mutant genes that control the cell cycle, maintain genomic stability, and mediate apoptosis is central to carcinogenesis. Spontaneous mutation may cause spontaneous cancer. Endogenous causes of mutation include depurination and depyrimidation of DNA; proofreading and mismatch errors during DNA replication; deamination of 5-methylcytosine to produce C to T base pair substitutions; and damage to DNA and its replication imposed by products of metabolism (notably oxidative damage caused by oxygen free radicals). Deficiencies in cellular defense mechanisms may also provoke spontaneous mutation. These include defective DNA excision-repair; low levels of antioxidants, antioxidant enzymes, and nucleophiles that trap DNA-reactive electrophiles; and enzymes that conjugate nucleophiles with DNA-damaging electrophiles. Mechanisms underlying many of those cellular defenses are under genetic control. Thus, germ line mutations or polymorphisms of genes that govern them may also contribute to spontaneous cancer.

AN - 21260936; 11701754 AB - This paper presents some of the results from the Commission of the European Communities collaborative research program (contract number EV5V-CT92-0221), whose aim is to investigate the relationship between exposure to petroleum emissions, benzene, and induction of genetic damage in human cells. Twenty-four workers from petroleum plants in Poland and 35 unexposed controls were examined for cytogenetic effects and ras oncoprotein levels and their relationship to confounding factors (e.g., smoking habit, sex family cancer history, and seasonal influence). Preliminary data of chromosome aberrations (CA) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) showed differences among sampling subgroups. In this present study, the levels of ras p21 proteins were determined and further analyses of CA, SCE, high frequency cells (HFC), and proliferative rate index (PRI) have been undertaken. Results show that the exposed group has statistically significant increases in CA, and percent of aberrant cells. There were no differences between exposed and unexposed groups in SCE, HFC, PRI, or the levels of ras p21 proteins. Smoking was found to statistically significantly affect levels of CA, percent of aberrant cells, SCE, HFC, and ras proteins. Sister chromatid exchanges were also statistically significantly sex dependent (7.5 breaks/cells for females and 6.8 breaks/cell for males). There were no statistically significant differences for CA, percent aberrant cells, SCE, HFC, or ras p21 protein levels in subgroups characterized according to cancer cases reported in the immediate family. A seasonal variability was shown with statistically significant increases in various biomarkers in the winter. Unexposed groups also showed increases due to smoking and season. The nonsmoking group individuals also showed statistically significant increases in cytogenetic damage with exposure.

AN - 21260911; 11701743 AB - Molecular epidemiology has significant potential in preventing cancer and other diseases caused by environmental exposures (related to lifestyle, occupation, or ambient pollution). This approach attempts to prevent cancer by incorporating laboratory methods to document the molecular dose and preclinical effects of carcinogens, as well as factors that increases individual susceptibility to carcinogens. Recently we have carried out validation studies of biologic markers such as carcinogen--DNA and carcinogen--protein adducts, gene and chromosomal mutations, alterations in target oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, polymorphisms in putative susceptibility genes (individual P450s, glutathione transferase M1), and serum levels of micronutrients. This research involves adults, infants, and children exposed to varying levels of carcinogens, as well as cancer cases and controls. On a group level, dose-response relationships have frequently been seen between various biomarkers and environmental exposures such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cigarette smoke (active and passive), and ambient indoor and workplace air pollution. However, there is significant interindividual variation in biomarkers that appears to reflect a modulating effect on biomarkers (hence potential risk) by genetic and acquired susceptibility factors. Ongoing retrospective and nested case-control studies of lung and breast cancer are examining the association between biomarkers and cancer risk. Results of these studies are encouraging; they suggest that biomarkers, once validated, can be useful in identifying populations and individuals at risk in time to intervene effectively.

AN - 21260102; 11701751 AB - One type of oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua), is known to increase in rat kidney DNA after the administration of a renal carcinogen, ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA). To determine the involvement of oxygen radicals in Fe-NTA carcinogenesis, we examined whether the 8-OH-Gua repair enzymes are induced in the rat kidney after Fe-NTA administration, in addition to our analysis of the 8-OH-Gua levels in the DNA, because the 8-OH-Gua repair activity is known to be induced in mammalian cells by oxidative stress due to ionizing radiation. The 8-OH-Gua repair enzyme activity was determined with an endonuclease assay using a 22-mer double strand DNA, which contains 8-OH-Gua at a specific position. A significant increase in the 8-OH-Gua repair activity was observed in the rat kidney after a single intraperitoneal injection of Fe-NTA (p & 0.01). This is the first report on the induction of the repair activity for 8-OH-Gua after treatment with a chemical carcinogen. This assay will be useful for evaluating the carcinogenicity of oxygen radical-forming chemicals.

AN - 21260080; 11701750 AB - It is known that human hemoglobin contains low levels of N-terminal N-(2-hydroxyethyl)valine. Possible sources of this modified amino acid are exposure to ethylene oxide or other 2-hydroxy-ethylating agents. Although such processes are likely to occur endogenously, the exogenous contribution to the adduct formation is unclear. In order to explore the latter, we have analyzed N-(2-hydroxyethyl)valine in the globin of 49 pregnant women and evaluated the effect of smoking status, area of residence, and glutathione S-transferase M1 genotype on adduct levels. Transplacental transfer of hydroxyethylating agents was also studied by the analysis of umbilical cord hemoglobin. The adduct levels in smokers were significantly higher than those in nonsmokers. The adduct levels in umbilical cord blood globin were quantitatively related to those in maternal blood (maternal:fetal ratio 2.7 in smokers and 2.8 in nonsmokers). In the nonsmokers, there was no statistically significant difference in the adduct level between the urban and rural areas, but the level in suburbia tended to be lower than that in the rural area.

AN - 21253842; 11701748 AB - The Genetic Activity Profile (GAP) database was used to identify and compare agents showing genotoxic activity in humans. The database revealed several substances for which both human and rodent cytogenetic data existed. Based on the ratio of the lowest effective doses (LEDs) in rodents versus human studies, humans appear to be at least 10 times more sensitive than rodents to the majority of the genotoxic substances examined. Several caveats are discussed which may be responsible, in part, for the apparent differences in sensitivity. Some of these differences could be due to variations in the test protocols or they may, in fact, reflect real differences between human and rodent cells. However, in contrast to the in vivo comparison, the LEDs for human data from in vitro studies were not uniformly lower than for comparable studies in rodents. The in vitro comparison suggests that the apparent differences in human versus rodent cell sensitivity seen in vivo must be viewed with a degree of caution. Nevertheless, the overall GAPs for these agents, and particularly the human in vivo data, underscore the concern for adequate protection of humans exposed to these environmental mutagens.

AN - 21253398; 11701745 AB - The aromatic amines 2,4-diaminotoluene (2,4-DAT) and 2,6-diaminotoluene (2,6-DAT) are structural isomers that have been extensively studied for their mutagenic and carcinogenic characteristics. Both compounds are rapidly absorbed after oral administration and are equally mutagenic in the Ames test; however, 2,4-DAT is a potent hepatocarcinogen, whereas 2,6-DAT does not produce an increased incidence of tumors in rats or mice at similar doses. The Big Blue transgenic B6C3F1 mouse carries multiple copies of the lacl mutational target gene. Our studies were designed to determine whether the Big Blue system could be used to detect differences in the vivo mutagenic activity between the carcinogen-noncarcinogen pair 2,4-DAT and 2,6-DAT and to determine whether the in vivo mutagenesis assay results correspond to the rodent carcinogen bioassay results. Male B6C3F1 transgenic mice were exposed to 2,4-DAT or 2,6-DAT at 0 or 1,000 ppm in the diet for 30 and 90 days or to dimethylnitrosamine as a positive control. Mutant frequencies were nearly identical for all three groups at 30 days, while at 90 days the mutant frequency for the hepatocarcinogen 2,4-DAT (12.1 +/- 1.4 x 10(-5)) was significantly higher (p & 0.01) as compared to both age-matched (spontaneous) controls (5.7 +/- 2.9 x 10(-5)) and the 2,6-DAT-exposed group (5.7 +/- 2.4 x 10(-5)). Results from this study demonstrate that the Big Blue transgenic mutation assay can distinguish differences in vivo between the mutagenic responses of hepatic carcinogens ad a noncarcinogen; is sensitive to mutagens through subchronic dietary exposure; and yields a differential response depending upon the length of time mice are exposed to a mutagen.

AN - 21251141; 11703644 AB - A cancer epidemiologist recently said that "adduct measurement has so far been of little use to epidemiological research." This remark gives us a starting point for the discussion of the purposes of measuring macromolecule adducts that originate from electrophilic compounds or metabolites in humans and animals. Historically, methods for adduct monitoring were developed as a means of determining target doses that, combined with measurements of genotoxic potencies, could be used for risk assessment. With mass spectrometric methods, adducts can be quantified at levels that are thousands of times lower than those in which the cancer incidence associated with this exposure is detectable in disease-epidemiological studies. Furthermore, mass spectrometric techniques permit identification of the chemical structure of the adduct, particularly in the case of hemoglobin adducts. Adduct measurement therefore constitutes not only a means of risk estimation but it may be used as a complement of disease epidemiology in situations in which, for statistical reasons, the risk is too low to be detectable--which does not signify that the risk is acceptably low. It also gives a possibility of identification of the dangerous components in mixed exposures and of the relevant reactive intermediates in cases of complex metabolism.

AN - 21249887; 11703646 AB - We hypothesize that chronic exposure to environmental toxicants can induce genetic damage causing DNA repair deficiencies and leading to the postulated mutator phenotype of carcinogenesis. To test our hypothesis, a host cell reactivation (HCR) assay was used in which pCMVcat plasmids were damaged with UV light (175, 350 J/m2 UV light), inactivating the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene, and then transfected into lymphocytes. Transfected lymphocytes were therefore challenged to repair the damaged plasmids, reactivating the reporter gene. Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and Gaucher cell lines were used as positive and negative controls for the HCR assay. The Gaucher cell line repaired normally but XP cell lines demonstrated lower repair activity. Additionally, the repair activity of the XP heterozygous cell line showed intermediate repair compared to the homozygous XP and Gaucher cells. We used HCR to measure the effects of benzene exposure on 12 exposed and 8 nonexposed workers from a local benzene plant. Plasmids 175 J/m2 and 350 J/m2 were repaired with a mean frequency of 66% and 58%, respectively, in control workers compared to 71% and 62% in exposed workers. Conversely, more of the exposed workers were grouped into the reduced repair category than controls. These differences in repair capacity between exposed and control workers were, however, not statistically significant. The lack of significant differences between the exposed and control groups may be due to extremely low exposure to benzene (& 0.3 ppm), small population size, or a lack of benzene genotoxicity at these concentrations. These results are consistent with a parallel hprt gene mutation assay.

Hepatic porphyrin levels increased in a dose related manner for each of the compounds given alone, except for PCB 153, which had no effect on the parameter. However, the combination of TCDD and PCB 153 demonstrated a synergistic effect, increasing the hepatic porphyrin levels to 800 times the control levels. The synergistic effects demonstrated by this combination of compounds indicates that risk assessments for mixtures of PCBs and dioxin-like compounds must be carefully evaluated.

The levels were adjusted for creatinine. Questionnaires were used to evaluate other routes of PAH exposure. About 200 of the children were sampled twice at three week intervals to determine the reliability of a single measurement of urinary 1-HP. The mean concentration of 1-HP in urine was 2.06. In one area, the levels were below those of controls. Only PAH content of indoor air was weakly associated with urinary 1-HP levels. Urinary 1-HP levels were slightly higher in children from a neighborhood that was built on tailings from a mine and who had yards with higher than normal levels of PAH in the upper layer of soil. However, children from a similar neighborhood did not have elevated 1-HP levels. A single measurement of 1-HP was unreliable.

Urinary excretion of N-nitrosamines and well water mutagenicity were also investigated. Healthy females from four populations with various levels of nitrate in drinking water were studied. A dose related increase in N-nitrate levels in urine was noted. Nitrate and nitrite levels of saliva were also related to nitrate concentration in drinking water. A dose related increase in HPRT was noted in subjects. N-nitrosopyrrolidine was detected in urine of 18 of the 22 subjects. A few well water samples were mutagenic in the Ames test.

AN - 62501238; ED416289 AB - The Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations of the House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight met to consider the causes of and solutions to teen pregnancy and the role of community organizations in prevention efforts. Opening remarks by Representative Christopher Shays were followed by statements by a number of people with expertise in teen pregnancy prevention, beginning with the statement of Representative Edolphus Towns, which emphasizes that in many cases the fathers of the babies of teenage girls are much older than the mothers. Statements of Representatives Nancy Johnson and Eva M. Clayton further defined the problem and emphasized that solutions must be community based. Remarks and a panel discussion were presented by: (1) Henry W. Foster, Jr., Senior Advisor to the President; (2) Kristin A. Moore, from the National Campaign To Prevent Teen Pregnancy; (3) Pat Funderburk Ware, former director of the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs; and (4) Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. The panel discussion of these representatives of national initiatives was followed by a panel discussion of representatives from Best Friends, a program for girls and young women, and the Institute for Responsible Fatherhood and Family Revitalization. The transcribed comments and prepared statements of members of both panels are supplemented by letters, statements, and other documents submitted for the record. Panelists and Congress members were in general agreement that community-based approaches are needed to address the problems of teen pregnancy and that the role of fathers must be strengthened.

The hearing was based on a General Accounting Office study that found four hallmarks of effective job training: individual commitment, removal of personal barriers to employment, a focus on basic employment skills, and a close connection to the realities of the local job market. Witnesses included persons who had completed job training programs, operators of nonprofit organizations that conduct job training, government officials involved in job training programs, and representatives of corporations such as Marriott International that conduct extensive job training programs. The testimony focused on the need to coordinate efforts of job training programs so that potential participants do not have to work through a maze of hundreds of agencies. The witnesses pointed out that even well-educated people and professionals in the human services field have a hard time determining which agencies can help them and how to find those agencies. Some of the witnesses endorsed one-stop services such as those supported in the GI Bill and in a proposed Career Bill.

AN - 78006544; 8927503 AB - There is currently some uncertainty about whether cardiac pacemaker cells contain tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive Na+ channels although TTX is known to slow heart rate. We have recorded transient and persistent single-channel currents activated by depolarization in myocytes isolated from the toad sinus venosus. The myocytes were identified as pacemaker cells by their characteristic morphology, spontaneous action potentials that were blocked by cobalt but not by TTX, and lack of an inwardly rectifying K+ current. The voltage dependence of the single-channel currents, their presence in solutions containing no K+ or Ca2+, or in solutions to which Cs+ and Co2+ had been added, their dependence on [Na+] and their sensitivity to TTX indicated that they were Na+ channel currents. The persistent Na+ channel currents were resistant to inactivation and were activated over the range of potentials that occur during diastole in pacemaker cells: they would therefore contribute to the pacemaker current that sets heart rate.

AN - 62571373; ED399300 AB - Recently, there has been a significant expansion in the use of performance assessment in large scale testing programs. Although there has been significant support from curriculum and policy stakeholders, the technical feasibility of large scale performance assessments has remained a question. This report is intended to contribute to the debate by reviewing some of the technical issues that must be addressed by any developer of large-scale performance assessments. The report is also intended to surface issues, articulate problems, and where possible, give advice on how to proceed. The report is divided into five chapters, each focusing on a major technical topic. "Validity of Performance Assessments" (Samuel Messick) defines validity as a property of inferences and interpretations made from test scores. In performance assessment, the primary adverse consequence that must be investigated is the potential negative impact on individuals or groups based on sources of invalidity. "Generalizability of Performance Assessments" (Robert L. Brennan) provides an overview of generalizability theory and integrates literature on the reliability of performance assessment with the conceptual framework of generalizability theory. "Comparability" (Edward H. Haertel and Robert L. Linn) stresses that in order to provide indicators of trends in academic achievement, large scale performance assessments must be comparable across administrations. "Setting Performance Standards for Performance Assessments: Some Fundamental Issues, Current Practice, and Technical Dilemmas" (Richard M. Jaeger, Ina V. S. Mullis, Mary Lyn Bourque, and Sharif Shakrani) describes the myriad ways performance standards are used and addresses the need for new methods of establishing such standards for performance assessments of students and teachers. Two new approaches to setting performance standards, iterative judgmental policy capturing and a multistage dominant profile procedure are outlined. References follow each of the chapters.

A fundamentally important aspect to understanding climate (on Earth) lies with the coupling between the ocean and the atmosphere. This article explores the basis of the coupling and its role in helping to determine climate. The application of these principles has led to the construction and implementation of families of coupled general circulation models (CGCMs), the ubiquitous demands of which are drawing together many different branches of oceanography and meteorology.

They are now ready to move from simple qualitative guidelines, such as exemplified by reference doses, to more quantitative models, such as benchmark doses, based on dose-response information. Risk assessors, confronted by a wider array of methodologies and data than in the past, should be offered guidance in interpretation because now they have to deal with unaccustomed questions and problems. These include reversibility, susceptible populations, multiple end points, and the details of dose-response and dose-effect distributions.

AN - 21262188; 11701739 AB - Significant progress has been made in recent years in terms of both the conceptualization of neurotoxicity assessment strategies as well as in the development of behavioral techniques for evaluating neurotoxic exposures. A tiered approach, for example, has been advocated as an assessment strategy in which testing would proceed in a stepwise fashion from general screening using simple behavioral methods and neuropathology (tier 1) to the characterization of effects (tier 2) using more specific testing techniques. With respect to tier-1 testing, behavioral observational methods have been standardized for screening purposes, and these technically simple techniques, together with automated methods for motor activity assessment, are being increasingly incorporated into chemical and drug safety evaluations for regulatory purposes. With respect to tier-2 testing, more technically sophisticated techniques and behavioral paradigms are available for characterizing the behavioral effects of chemical exposures on motor, sensory, and cognitive processes. Paradigms involving learned and unlearned behavior, for example, have been described for quantifying a variety of clinical signs of motor impairment including paretic gait disorders, tremor, and coordination deficits. Likewise, robust noninvasive behavioral methods capable of tracking changes in visual, auditory, and somatosensory thresholds during the course of exposure are also available. With respect to cognitive testing, numerous maze and operant techniques and paradigms measuring different aspects of performance, learning, and memory have been elaborated. This paper presents an overview of behavioral techniques currently used to assess neurotoxicity in adult laboratory animals and discusses their application to hazard identification and other areas of risk assessment.

AN - 21259065; 11703638 AB - The purpose of this paper is 3-fold: a) to review briefly the neuropsychological tests that have been used to evaluate the effects of neurotoxicants; b) to identify individual factors that may create heightened sensitivity to neurotoxicants; and c) to discuss test parameters that will increase the sensitivity of neuropsychological tests for detecting symptoms in low-level exposure situations. While the body of literature on neurobehavioral toxicology has increased dramatically during the past 10 years, it remains difficult to discern which tests are most effective in detecting behavioral effects even among workers with significant exposures. Few investigators have evaluated the interactions between individual differences, such as gender and psychiatric function, and exposure to neurotoxicants. Detection of behavioral performance decrements among uniquely susceptible populations such as those with sensitivities to low-level exposures (e.g., multiple chemical sensitivities) will require more difficult tests than are frequently used in current neuropsychological test batteries.

The neurotoxic properties of lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organic solvents would all have been detected at some dose level by tests in current use, provided that the doses were high enough and administered at an appropriate time such as during gestation. The adequacy of animal studies, particularly rodent studies, to predict intake levels at which human health can be protected is disappointing, however. It is unlikely that the use of advanced behavioral methodology would alleviate the apparent lack of sensitivity of the rodent model for many agents.

AN - 21251422; 11703637 AB - Methylmercury (MeHg) is recognized as one of the most hazardous environmental pollutants, primarily due to endemic disasters that have occurred repeatedly. A review of the earlier literature on the Minamata outbreak shows how large-scale poisoning occurred and why it could not be prevented. With the repeated occurrences of MeHg poisoning, it gradually became clear that the fetus is much more susceptible to the toxicity of this compound than the adult. Thus, recent epidemiologic studies in several fish-eating populations have focused on the effects of in utero exposure to MeHg. Also, there have been many studies on neurobehavioral effects of in utero exposure to methylmercury in rodents and nonhuman primates. The results of these studies revealed that the effects encompass a wide range of behavioral categories without clear identification of the functional categories distinctively susceptible to MeHg. The overall neurotoxicity of MeHg in humans, nonhuman primates, and rodents appears to have similarities. However, several gaps exist between the human and animal studies. By using the large body of neurotoxicologic data obtained in human populations and filling in such gaps, we can use MeHg as a model agent for developing a specific battery of tests of animal behavior to predict human risks resulting from in utero exposure to other chemicals with unknown neurotoxicity. Approaches developing such a battery are also discussed.

AN - 21251122; 11703636 AB - Tests for detection of neurobehavioral changes in the offspring have been a regulatory requirement in developmental toxicity testing of drugs for almost 20 years. Keeping their purpose of hazard identification and risk assessment for humans in mind, investigators and agency reviewers have become deeply ingrained with some stereotyped behaviors with respect to such relevant issues as choice of animal species and data evaluation. Other problematic areas of study design and conduct, selection of litter representatives for testing, what methods to combine in a testing battery, and statistical treatment of results and their interpretation, will need more research and discussion in the future.

The bacterium produced acyl components that may be grouped in three different carbon chain types: even-chain, odd-chain and iso-branched odd-chain. The proportions of these chain types varied according to growth temperature, and were manipulated by growth on L-serine, L-leucine or propionic acid as sole carbon sources. De novo fatty acid synthesis was investigated using sodium [1- super(14)C]acetate, L-[U- super(14)C]leucine and L-[U- super(14)C]serine as radioactive precursors. Compared with a control culture, resuspension of midexponential phase cells in artificial seawater led to a change in the selection and/or intracellular availability of acyl chain primer molecules. The proportion of radiolabel incorporated into even-chain length components from cells declined, whereas the percentage of radiolabel present in odd-chain length components increased. An increase in incubation temperature augmented this effect, and also elicited a rise in the proportion of label present in branched-chain products. ACAM 456 manipulated the utilization of acyl chain primer molecules as an adaptive response to changes in environmental conditions. In particular, the regulation of odd-chain length fatty acids is described as a novel adaptational response. JF - Microbiology AU - Nichols, D S AU - Russell, N J AD - Antarctic CRC and Dep. Agric.

TCDD levels in fat were at least ten times that of the general population. Controls and exposed subjects were not different in distribution of lymphocyte surface markers or proliferation of lymphocytes induced by mitogen. However, TCDD exposure caused a reduction lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by interleukin-2, and altered the T-cell allo-response. After exposure to irradiated stimulator cells, the responder cells of TCDD exposed subjects demonstrated less proliferation. The responder cell fraction was suppressed as demonstrated by the reaction of third party mixed lymphocytes to stimulator cells that had not been irradiated. The results showed a long term effect on the immune function of T-helper cells that is probably caused by effects on the cells, rather than by reductions in cell numbers.

The method was validated using a second population of amenorrheics. Studies were conducted at two Universities. The ratio was useful in detecting anovulatory cycles in between 75 and 89% of the population when compared with results of progesterone analysis in the population. Anovulation in women may be due to exposure to toxic agents in the environment, and a method for determining anovulation could be useful in studying the effects of such toxicants.

Samples were collected at Los Angeles and Long Beach, which contained mostly fresh emissions; Azusa and Rubidoux, which contained mostly transported particulates and reaction products of atmospheric chemicals; and at San Nicolas Island, which was upwind of the pollution stream. Seasonal variations in mutagenicity were found for the fresh pollution sites. Mutagenicity was greatest in winter and least in summer. The presence of photochemical smog in summer was not accompanied by an increase in mutagenicity. Peak mutagenicity of Rubidoux occurred during the early fall. At the reference site, San Nicolas Island, mutagenicity was significantly lower than that of the polluted sites.

Children of private applicators had significantly more birth defects than the general population. Regional differences were noted. More birth defects were found in the western part of the state where pesticides containing chlorophenoxy groups were used for both the general population and the pesticide applicator population. Spring conception was associated with an increase in birth defects in this part of Minnesota. Other regions did not show any significant seasonal differences.

Nevertheless, there is concern about loss of biodiversity, which includes species richness and diversity. The Endangered Species Act, which expired in 1992, and is under consideration for reauthorization, focuses on species richness without considering the consequences on species diversity. Yet threats to species may be from natural sources and protection of such species may prevent an ecosystem from progressing. Philosophical debates abound on the responsibility of humans to act as custodians of or to have dominion over other species. The effects of biodiversity loss on human health are from loss of medicinal substances, and creation of epidemics, such as hantavirus outbreaks. Loss of biodiversity also has economic effects, including job loss from overfishing or over harvesting of lumber.

Fishery exploitation is encouraged by governments that subsidize the industry, resulting in fishing fleets that are too large for the number of fish left. Coral reef destruction as a fishing method has destroyed marine habitats, preventing the fish population from recovering. Increases in water temperature also destroy coral reefs. Destruction of coastal habitats that are used by many species for spawning affects the food chain of the coastal areas, as does nutrient overenrichment from agricultural runoff. Large tankers spill large quantities of oil, affecting size, development, and reproduction of fish. Destruction of fish species comes at a time when interest in the exotic chemicals they contain for pharmaceutical use is increasing. Federal and international efforts to reverse ocean destruction are briefly outlined.

AN - 78036378; 8636135 AB - Site-directed mutagenesis was used to investigate the roles of a short series of hydrophobic amino acids in the b-subunit of the Escherichia coli F0F1-ATPase. A mutation affecting one of these, G131D, had been previously characterized and was found to interrupt assembly of the F0F1-ATPase (Jans, D. A., Hatch, L., Fimmel, A. L., Gibson, D., and Cox, G. B. (1985) J. Bacteriol. 162, 420-426). To extend this work, aspartic acid was substituted for each one of the residues from positions 124 to 132. The properties of mutants in this series are consistent with the region from Val124 to Gly131 forming an alpha-helix. Two of the mutations, V124D and A128D, resulted in a similar phenotype to the G131D mutation. This suggested that Val124, Ala128, and Gly131 form a helical face which may have a role in inter- or intrasubunit interactions. This was tested by overexpressing and purifying the cytoplasmic domains of the wild type and A128D mutant b-subunits. Sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation indicated that the wild type domain formed a dimer whereas the mutant was present as a monomer.

AN - 78467970; 8881531 AB - As the profession of psychology has matured, serious interest has surfaced over the past decade in obtaining prescription privileges within the practitioner community. Other nonphysician disciplines have exercised this clinical responsibility for years, significantly improving their ability to comprehensively serve current and new populations. Efforts are underway to develop appropriate and viable training modules. The primary objection expressed by medicine is once again that our practitioners will become "public health hazards." Not surprisingly, resistance to change exists within psychology's training programs. However, the power to prescribe represents the authority to ensure that psychotropic medications are appropriately utilized, if used at all, and will ensure that psychology's practitioners can address society's pressing needs.

The survey was conducted through the Fast Response Survey System, a system designed for small amounts of data and rapid surveys. Brief questionnaires were sent to a nationally representative sample of public elementary and secondary schools. Responses were received from 926 school personnel. About half of the sampled schools collected data on student race and ethnicity only at initial registration. One-quarter of schools collected such information on an annual basis. Forty-one percent of schools reported that there are students in their schools for whom the standard five federal categories (American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, and White) were not adequate, but more schools (73%) used only these categories. Only 5% of schools used a general "multiracial" category. Schools typically ask parents or guardians to identify the student's classification. Appendix A discusses survey methodology and data. Appendix B contains tables of standard errors, and Appendix C is the survey form. (Contains three figures, six tables, and seven appendix tables.)

AN - 62571429; ED399278 AB - This edition is the 25th report in a series that began in 1964. It revises the previous edition and includes statistics on elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education at the national level. Included are projections for enrollment, graduates, classroom teachers, and expenditures to the year 2006. Projections are also included for elementary and secondary enrollment and high school graduates to the year 2006 for public schools at the state level. Projections in this report reflect the 1990 Census and 1994 estimates and recent assumptions about the fertility rate, net immigration, and mortality rate. A methodology section describes models and assumptions used to develop the national projections, including age-specific models, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. Most of the projections include three alternatives, based on different assumptions about growth. The first set of alternatives is designed to represent the most likely projections, but the high and low estimates provide a reasonable range of outcomes. Among the notable projections is that total public and private elementary enrollment is projected to increase over the period, with enrollment increases in elementary, secondary, and higher education. Four technical appendixes provide information about projection methodology, supplementary tables, data sources, and a glossary.

Compared to a 38% birth rate among women using no form of contraception, the results evidenced higher than expected contraceptive failure rates: injectable (1%), intrauterine device ([IUD] 3%), & the pill (15%). Whereas the IUD failure rate peaked after 24 months of use, the risk for those using the pill was highest during the first 12-18 months. It is argued that the high failure rates of nonpermanent forms of contraception (except the injectable) can be directly linked to the below-average performance of community health care workers. The results also suggest that 25% of all pregnancies in Bangladesh are unintentional, & that health care intervention is required at the early stages of usage, especially for young couples, in order to ensure success.

Communities' lack of success in combating erosion can be attributed to their poverty & inability to mitigate its effects. Households in safer areas have reduced their dependency on agriculture & developed more scope for nonfarm activities; however, this is often difficult given the limited development of local enterprise. In an exploratory case study of the Hizla thana in the Barisal district, it is concluded that the major parameters that influence adjustment after erosion are the education, skills, occupation, & financial state of those affected. The most vulnerable are households dependent on agriculture, for whom resettlement to distant urban areas is not an option. 14 References. Adapted from the source document.

Although not necessarily spatially separate, people within each of these city components see the others as a threat. There is no coordinated city systems, no coherent development plan, & no sense of unity of purpose or interdependence.

AN - 21270421; 11701730 AB - Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are stable in the atmosphere and may reach the stratosphere. They are cleaved by UV-radiation in the stratosphere to yield chlorine radicals, which are thought to interfere with the catalytic cycle of ozone formation and destruction and deplete stratospheric ozone concentrations. Due to potential adverse health effects of ozone depletion, chlorofluorocarbon replacements with much lower or absent ozone depleting potential are developed. The toxicology of these compounds that represent chlorofluorohydrocarbons (HCFCs) or fluorohydrocarbons (HFCs) has been intensively studied. All compounds investigated (1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane [HCFC-141b], 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane [HFC-134a], pentafluoroethane [HFC-125], 1-chloro- 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane [HCFC-124], and 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane [HCFC-123]) show only a low potential for skin and eye irritation. Chronic adverse effects on the liver (HCFC-123) and the testes (HCFC-141b and HCFC-134a), including tumor formation, were observed in long-term inhalation studies in rodents using very high concentrations of these CFC replacements. All CFC replacements are, to varying extents, biotransformed in the organism, mainly by cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation of C-H bonds. The formed acyl halides are hydrolyzed to give excretable carboxylic acids; halogenated aldehydes that are formed may be further oxidized to halogenated carboxylic acids or reduced to halogenated alcohols, which are excretory metabolites in urine from rodents exposed experimentally to CFC replacements. The chronic toxicity of the CFC replacements studied is unlikely to be of relevance for humans exposed during production and application of CFC replacements.

AN - 21262146; 11701733 AB - Although population exposure to lead has declined, chronic lead toxicity remains a major public health problem in the United States affecting millions of children and adults. Important gaps exist in knowledge of the pathophysiology of chronic lead intoxication. These gaps have impeded development of control strategies. To close current gaps in knowledge of chronic lead toxicity, we propose an integrated, multidisciplinary, marker-based research program. This program combines a) direct measurement of individual lead burden by 109Cd X-ray fluorescence analysis of lead in bone, b) determination of ALA-D phenotype, an index of individual susceptibility to lead, and c) assessments of subclinical injury produced by lead in the kidneys, nervous system and, reproductive organs. Data from this research will provide answers to questions of great public health importance: a) Are current environmental and occupational standards adequate to prevent chronic lead intoxication? b) is lead mobilized from the skeleton during pregnancy or lactation to cause fetal toxicity? c) Is lead mobilized from bone during menopause to cause neurotoxicity? d) What is the significance of genetic variation in determining susceptibility to lead? e) What is the contribution of lead to hypertension, renal disease, chronic neurodegenerative disease or declining sperm counts? f) Is chelation therapy effective in reducing body lead burden in persons with chronic overexposure to lead?

AN - 21259035; 11703635 AB - The goal of researchers working in the area of developmental toxicology is to prevent adverse reproductive outcomes (early pregnancy loss, birth defects, reduced birth weight, and altered functional development) in humans due to exposures to environmental contaminants, therapeutic drugs, and other factors. To best achieve that goal, it is important that relevant information be gathered and assimilated in the risk assessment process. One of the major challenges of improved risk assessment is to better use all pertinent biological and mechanistic information. This may be done qualitatively (e.g., demonstrating that the experimental model is not appropriate for extrapolation purposes); semiquantitatively (using information to reduce the degree of uncertainty present under default extrapolation procedures), or quantitatively (formally describing the relationships between exposure and adverse outcome in mathematical forms, including components that directly reflect individual steps in the overall progression of toxicity). In this paper we review the recent advances in the risk assessment process for developmental toxicants and hypothesize on future directions that may revolutionize our thinking in this area. The road to these changes sometimes appears to be a well-mapped course on a relatively smooth surface; at other times the path is bumpy and obscure, while at still other times it is only a wish in the eye of the engineer to cross an uncharted and rugged environment.

AN - 21253467; 11701731 AB - There is an increasing interest in the development and validation of biomarkers for use in biochemical/molecular epidemiological studies. Though the area of neurotoxicology has received much attention in the past several years, it still lags behind with regard to the development of biomarkers, particularly those of health effects and susceptibility. This review discusses several aspects of biomarker research as it relates to neurotoxic compounds and focuses on selected agents (organophosphorus insecticides, styrene, n-hexane, carbon disulfide, acrylamide), which have been the subject of a number of investigations in animals and humans. While traditional biomonitoring approaches and novel techniques (e.g., hemoglobin adducts) provide several measurements for monitoring exposure to neurotoxic chemicals, potential markers of genetic susceptibility have been seldom investigated in a neurotoxicology context. Furthermore, the complexity of the nervous system, together with the multiplicity of end points and the limited knowledge of the exact mechanism(s) of action of neurotoxicants, has led to only limited advancements in the development of biomarkers for neurotoxic effects. Significant progress in this area will depend upon an increased understanding of the cellular, biochemical, and molecular targets directly involved in neurotoxicity.

AN - 21252451; 11701732 AB - Progress over the past 30 years has revealed many strengths of the rainbow trout as an alternative model for environmental carcinogenesis research. These include low rearing costs, an early life-stage ultrasensitive bioassay, sensitivity to many classes of carcinogen, a well-described tumor pathology, responsiveness to tumor promoters and inhibitors, and a mechanistically informative nonmammalian comparative status. Low-cost husbandry, for example, has permitted statistically challenging tumor study designs with up to 10,000 trout to investigate the quantitative interrelationships among carcinogen dose, anticarcinogen dose, DNA adduct formation, and final tumor outcome. The basic elements of the trout carcinogen bioassay include multiple exposure routes, carcinogen response, husbandry requirements, and pathology. The principal known neoplasms occur in liver (mixed hepatocellular/cholangiocellular adenoma and carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma), kidney (nephroblastoma), swim bladder (adenopapilloma), and stomach (adenopapilloma). Trout possess a complex but incompletely characterized array of cytochromes P450, transferases, and other enzymic systems for phase I and phase II procarcinogen metabolism. In general, trout exhibit only limited capacity for DNA repair, especially for removal of bulky DNA adducts. This factor, together with a high capacity for P450 bioactivation and negligible glutathione transferase-mediated detoxication of the epoxide, accounts for the exceptional sensitivity of trout to aflatoxin B1 carcinogenesis. At the gene level, all trout tumors except nephroblastoma exhibit variable and often high incidences of oncogenic Ki-ras gene mutations. Mutations in the trout p53 tumor suppressor gene have yet to be described. There are many aspects of the trout model, especially the lack of complete organ homology, that limit its application as a surrogate for human cancer research. Within these limitations, however, it is apparent that trout and other fish models can serve as highly useful adjuncts to conventional rodent models in the study of environmental carcinogenesis and its modulation. For some problems, fish models can provide wholly unique approaches. Images Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Figure 5. Figure 6. Figure 7. Figure 8. Figure 9. Figure 10. Figure 11. Figure 12.

Of the estimated 5000 facilities that discharge industrial effluent to the combined sewerage system along the Passaic River, approximately 400 facilities hold National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Seventy-eight permitted facilities, representing 14 major industrial classes with discharges exceeding 190 000 l day super(-1), were identified within 33 CSO districts that are below the Second River and serviced by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission. A wide range of toxic chemicals, including heavy metals, pesticides, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found to be associated with numerous industries located within the CSO districts. Many of these chemicals have been measured in CSO discharges to the river during wet weather flow events and have also been measured in river sediments. The magnitude of the CSO discharges (billions of litres per year) to the lower Passaic River, combined with the nature of the chemicals used and discharged to the system by industrial sources, indicates that CSOs represent an historic and ongoing source of toxic pollutants to the river. While the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently developed an aggressive programme for reducing the impact of CSOs on the nation's waters, it will likely be many years before the benefits of this programme are realized, particularly in areas with antiquated sewer systems such as those within the Passaic River basin.

Hook size influenced the length frequency of catches. The selectivity function was modelled to an adequate approximation by a gamma distribution. Exploitation rates at various fishing centres off the Western Cape, South Africa, were investigated in the context of an observed variation in the mean mass of the individual fish caught. When allowance was made for the various hook sizes used at different locations, only the resource at Gans Bay appeared to be overexploited in yield-per-recruit terms. If hook size affects the length distribution of the catch, it is important to incorporate this aspect into assessments of resource status.

The most recent is the State of the Marine Environment Report for Australia (SOMER). Overall it found that the condition of Australia's oceans is pretty good. However there are problems, including: 1) Declining marine and coastal water/sediment quality, particularly as a result of inappropriate catchment land use practices; 2) Loss of marine and coastal habitat; 3) Unsustainable use of marine and coastal resources; 4) Lack of marine science policy and long-term research and monitoring of the marine environment; and, 5) Lack of strategic, integrated planning in the marine and coastal environments. Ecologically sustainable development is the fundamental principle to natural resource management in Australia. A series of government initiatives are in place, or are planned, to guide the sustainable use and management of Australia's marine resources. An Australian Marine Conservation Plan is currently being developed and the Commonwealth Coastal Policy, adopted by the Australian Government in May 1995, provides a clear statement of the Australian Government's position on coastal management matters by adoption of common objectives and guiding principles and through implementation of the following initiatives to improve management of the coastal zone: 1) promotion of an integrated strategic planning approach; 2) Increasing the capacity and knowledge of coastal managers; and, 3) Promotion of community participation in coastal management. Management of Australia's Commonwealth fisheries resources is the responsibility of the recently established organisation, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). This marks a new era in fisheries management by involving the fishing industry, scientists and government directly in the process. Fisheries management costs are now 100% recoverable from each fishery and this has led to vast improvements in cost effectiveness a management procedures. To achieve sustainable management of the fisheries, AFMA has adopted biological reference points as the basis of setting Total Allowable Catches (TACs). AFMA is also working to resolve the jurisdictional issues with the States and Territories Governments which have plagued fisheries research and management in the past. JF - Biol. Mar. Mediterr.

Langdon & Fullerton on the perennial grass Bothriochloa macra (Steud.) S. T. Blake was investigated through three surveys over a 12 yr period (1981-93). In all three surveys a marked north-south trend in percentage of infection was detected with a greater proportion of plants in northerly populations being infected than in populations located to the south. The incidence of disease in populations was negatively correlated with the frequency of days with temperatures < 0 degree C in winter. Detailed exploration of local variation in a subset of five populations showed that the incidence of S. amphilophis was density-dependent and was greater in the edge areas of host populations than in the less disturbed core areas. Smut prevented seed production and negatively affected different aspects of the morphology of the plants, such as the height and basal diameter. Infection also significantly increased the number of inflorescences per plant. These field results were complemented by glasshouse-based competition experiments which indicated that, despite causing reductions in size, S. amphilophis only affected the competitive ability of infected plants grown under sub-optimal conditions. The results of this study indicate that an interplay between physical and biotic aspects of the environment determines regional and local levels of disease.

Soil, paint, and dust levels of lead were also measured in both localities. Blood lead levels of children living near the recycling facility were normal. An insignificant increase in blood lead levels was found where ground cover was absent. Soil levels of lead were higher near the secondary smelter than in the control community, but the levels were still within normal for urban soil. Recent installation of a filtration system at the recycling facility may account for the normal values found in this study.

A correlation between PM sub(10) levels and temperature with insurance claims made by state and city workers for themselves and their families for visits to outpatient facilities in Anchorage for respiratory symptoms showed that asthma visits increased between 3 and 6% and other upper respiratory symptoms increased between 1 and 3% when the level of PM sub(10) increased by 10 mu g/m super(3). In winter, carbon monoxide levels were also monitored and correlated with both emissions from automobiles and visits due to upper respiratory symptoms and bronchitis. No correlation between carbon monoxide levels and visits for asthma was found.

Teeth were divided into incisal and cervical sections for analysis using lead isotope techniques. Results showed that for children having low lead exposure, the incisal level was generally below 2 ppm, but the cervical level could be as high as 9 ppm. Isotopic profile of the incisal section was consistent with in utero exposure, but the profile of the cervical section was variable, due to variations in lead sources. A wide variation in lead content of both sections was found in the moderate and high exposure groups. Two of the children showed lead isotope patterns that were consistent to exposure in utero and during early childhood from lead released during home renovations, although the residence was close to the mining activity. Another subject with evidence of in utero exposure showed a profile that was consistent with exposure to the ore as a source of lead. Dentine bioaccumulates lead at a rate of about 2 or 3% annually.

Data was gathered in the fall of 1995 from a nationally representative sample of 917 schools regarding the types and location of advanced telecommunications equipment; services currently available; current computer networking capabilities; plans to connect to wide area networks; the formal role groups have in developing telecommunications plans; and barriers that limit acquisition or use of advanced telecommunications. This report contains tabular summaries (16 data tables, 16 standard error tables in Appendix A, and four reference tables in Appendix B) that highlight selected findings based on the data collected. The tables present data for public schools and for schools by instructional level, size of enrollment, metropolitan status, and geographic region of the country. Appendices also include a glossary of terms, the survey methodology and data reliability, the survey instrument, and background information.

Two growth phases are represented: the older from 13.4 to 10.6 ka and the younger from 3.2 to 2.1 ka. Oxygen isotope analysis reveals that temperatures were below present-day values at all times, but particularly cool conditions are indicated between 12.3 and 11.4 ka, and Neoglacial conditions occurred at about 3 ka. The older cold climate event is clearly synchronous with the Younger Dryas in Europe and this is the first time that strong evidence for this event has been found in Australia. Carbon isotope variations are interpreted as indicating changes in plant productivity on the surface and are most likely controlled by variations in summer rainfall. They indicate particularly high levels of plant productivity from 11.5 to 11.0 ka.

The objectives of this analysis were to derive consumption estimates for the surveyed population and to determine if there were any subpopulations of Housatonic River anglers at the time of the survey who consumed considerably more fish than the general angling population. Estimates of consumption were based on the information collected concerning consumption practices, species and sizes of fish harvested, and the frequency of fishing trips by interviewed anglers. Annualized consumption estimates of 0.17 g/d (median), 2.6 g/d (mean), and 12 g/d (95th percentile) were derived by assuming that all harvested fish were consumed by 2.59 individuals per household, the mean household size in Connecticut. If it is assumed that all fish were consumed by the angler alone, consumption estimates are increased by a factor of 2.6. These derived rates are reasonable when compared with the results of other consumption studies that have shown low rates of consumption of sport-caught freshwater fish from northeastern U.S, rivers. Based on the CTDEP data for the Housatonic River, there is no evidence that a subpopulation of high-consumption anglers existed at the time of the survey. Rather, these data indicate that the surveyed anglers primarily fished the Housatonic River for its recreational and aesthetic values, not for obtaining food.

We have targeted the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) genome with a ribozyme containing three catalytic hammerhead domains embedded within a 1 kb antisense RNA. The ribozyme was able to cleave TMV RNA at all three target sites in vitro at 25 degree C. Transgenic tobacco plants were generated which expressed the ribozyme or the corresponding antisense constructs directed at the TMV genome. Six of 38 independent transgenic plant lines expressing the ribozyme and 6 of 39 plant lines expressing the antisense gene showed some level of protection against TMV infection. Homozygous progeny of some lines were highly resistant to TMV; at least 50% of the plants remained asymptomatic even when challenged with high levels of TMV. These plants also displayed resistance to infection with TMV RNA or the related tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). In contrast, hemizygous plants of the same lines displayed only very weak resistance when inoculated with low amounts of TMV and no resistance against high inoculation levels. Resistance in homozygous plants was not overcome by a TMV strain which was altered at the three target sites to abolish ribozyme-mediated cleavage, suggesting that the ribozyme conferred resistance primarily by an antisense mechanism.

At the time the volunteers ingested the sherry from the decanter, the lead concentration of the liquid was 14.2 mu mol/l, and blood lead levels increased to 0.18 mu mol/l from 0.10 mu mol/l immediately after ingestion of the sherry from the decanter. However, the ratio of lead-206 to lead-207 decreased to 1.137 from 1.202. Absorption of 70% of the ingested lead was determined, showing that the lead that leached into the sherry from the decanter was very bioavailable.

In children who had sufficient iron levels at the outset of the study, standardized scores increased 1.2 points as lead levels decreased by 1 mu g/dl. Children who were deficient in iron did not demonstrate the same relationship between blood lead levels and cognitive ability. However, in these children, cognitive ability increased as hemoglobin increased. Blood lead levels declined less in children who were deficient in iron.

AN - 14416607; 10515386 AB - Interest in environmental medicine has been growing since the Institute of Medicine of NAS has created a definition for the specialty, which includes diagnosis and treatment of those exposed to environmental pollutants and hazards in water, air and soil. In 1991, only 68% of medical schools taught courses in environmental and occupational medicine, and these courses averaged only six hours in length. Generally the leaders in the specialty took it up as a second career after establishing themselves in another branch of medicine. Changes in the way environmental medicine specialists are trained are underway. Traditionally specialists in occupational medicine were employed in hospitals, but increasingly they are employed by companies to prevent lawsuits and reduce costs. Specialists in environmental medicine can be expected to follow similar employment routes and the increasing importance of the specialty will come from pressure from industry.

Time and dose dependent inhibition of GJIC was found for several of the congeners of PCBs and PBBs. Dieldrin combined with either 2,4,5-hexabromobiphenyl or 2,4,5-hexachlorobiphenyl (2,4,5-HCB) and mixtures of DDT and 2,4,5-HCB significantly inhibited GJIC. DDT, 2,4,5-HCB, 2,4,5-hexabromobiphenyl, dieldrin, toxaphene, and 2,3,4-hexachlorobiphenyl may act as promoters of tumors in human breast tissue.

Embryos of Bufo arenarum were exposed to river water at six sites in the river basin. Most of the river had toxicity levels that were greater than those allowed by the US EPA. Macroorganisms were absent from areas where the US EPA criteria maximum concentration was exceeded. Dead fish were observed at one such site. Toxicity tests using amphibians in early life stages could be used to evaluate water quality and contamination.

It is suggested that the existence of nonlinguistic metaphors across different perceptual modalities reflects hard-wired properties of perceptual systems & therefore precedes the development of language. However, despite their perceptual origin, it is noted that nonlinguistic metaphorical relations are often mediated & made accessible through language. Therefore, it is contended that studies that examine the processing of metaphors through information processing tasks requiring the identification or categorization of perceptual stimuli ought to consider both linguistic & perceptual processes that might mediate cross-modal metaphoric interactions. 3 Figures, 85 References.

AN - 78478868; 8890926 AB - The in vivo metabolic fate of haloperidol (HP) and its tetrahydropyridine analog HPTP have been examined in the baboon to investigate the formation of potentially neurotoxic pyridinium metabolites that have been observed previously in humans. Urine samples collected from baboons treated with HPTP were shown to contain, in addition to the parent drug, the corresponding reduced HPTP (RHPTP), generated by reduction of the butyrophenone carbonyl group. RHPTP was characterized by comparison with a synthetic standard using HPLC with electrochemical detection and HPLC/MS/MS. Another compound identified by LC/MS/MS was a glucuronide metabolite of RHPTP. The HP pyridinium (HPP+) and reduced pyridinium (RHPP+) metabolites were shown to be present in urine from both HP and HPTP treated baboons by HPLC using fluorescence detection. The urinary excretion profile of HPP+ and RHPP+ in both groups was essentially identical and, in contrast to that observed in rodents, closely paralleled the profile found in humans treated with HP. These data in the baboon suggest that the metabolic processes involved in the production of the pyridinium metabolites of HP are similar to those in humans. Furthermore, the HPTP-treated baboon may be an appropriate model in which to study the role of pyridinium metabolites in the induction of tardive dyskinesia.

AN - 77931966; 14536923 AB - Chlorophenolic compounds are generated from a number of industrial manufacturing processes including pulp and paper manufacture. These compounds are found to be toxic and recalcitrant and hence their discharge into the environment must be regulated. Slow and partial degradation of chlorophenols under aerobic and anaerobic natural environment has been observed. Aerobic biodegradation of chlorophenols proceeds through the formation of catechols while under anaerobic conditions, reductive dehalogenation is the preferred metabolic pathway. Number and position of chlorine substituents on the phenolic ring has influence on the rate and extent of biodegradation of chlorophenols. In engineered systems, acclimatization of biomass to chlorophenols markedly enhances the biodegradation ability by reducing the initial lag phase and by countering inhibition.

AN - 77906465; 15091359 AB - Acid-volatile sulphide (AVS) was measured at regular positions along eight transects through a mangrove forest in the Brisbane River, Queensland, Australia. Concentrations ranged from 0.33 to 22.61 micromol S g(-1) sediment dry weight. There was no correlation between AVS concentration and the proportion of clay-sand in the sediment, but sediments with high AVS concentrations tended to contain more water (rs=0.43; p=0.01). AVS concentrations were used to assess the potential bioavailability of the sediment heavy metal burden. The spatial variability of potential bioavailability was high and depended to a great extent on which metals were considered as part of the AVS complexing system. It is suggested seasonal variations would further increase the observed variability in bioavailability. This variation should be taken into account when monitoring and assessing long-term trends in sediment toxicity.

Findings from the IEA Reading Literacy Study. AN - 62684937; ED396245 AB - Using data from the 1991 IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) Reading Literacy Study, a study compared United States fourth- and ninth-grade students to students in 32 other countries; examined relationships between reading comprehension and aspects of family, schooling, and community; and investigated the nature of reading instruction in American classrooms. National samples of classes at the grade level containing the most 9-year-olds and 14-year-olds were used. A "world average" was constructed of the 18 participating nations that are also members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Results indicated that (1) American fourth graders outperformed students from all other countries except Finland; (2) American ninth graders' performance was closely grouped with that of students from 15 other nations; (3) in the United States, White students read better than Black and Hispanic students; (4) most groups of American students outperformed the OECD average; (5) students whose parents did not finish high school read at about the same level as the OECD average at fourth grade, but fell below the average in the ninth grade; (6) when differences in wealth, race/ethnicity, level of parental education, and other related attributes were taken into account, children from one-parent mother-only families did as well as children from two-parent families; (7) parents' educational attainment influenced reading comprehension over and above other aspects of family background; (8) what teachers said they believed about reading instruction differed markedly from what they actually did and had students do.

AN - 62678478; ED395044 AB - "Reaching the Goals" is a series of eight books designed to inform people involved in education reform, or people who want to be involved, of the myriad of programs and resources that are available from the Federal Government to support each of the National Education Goals defined in 1990. This first book is dedicated to Goal 1, "All children in America will start school ready to learn." The book provides federal program descriptions and definitions for more than 50 programs that are designed for preschool children. These programs encompass nutrition, learning, and health. Their descriptions should provide reformers with ideas for initiating or expanding preschool services at the community level. Programs from the following agencies are described: (1) Department of Agriculture; (2) Department of Defense; (3) U.S. Air Force; (4) Department of Education; (5) Department of Health and Human Services; (6) Department of Housing and Urban Development; (7) Department of Justice; (8) National Endowment for the Arts; (9) National Endowment for the Humanities; (10) National Science Foundation; (11) Institute of Museum Services; and (12) Smithsonian. Each program description includes contact names for more information. The book concludes with a directory of resources. Resources listed include 10 regional representatives and deputies of the Secretary of Education, 12 Head Start regional offices, the Head Start Collaboration Network members for the 10 regions, the contact list for Operation Weed and Seed (102 individuals), 60 state Arts Agency Coordinators, and 57 State Humanities Councils (includes territories).

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62671352; ED391230 AB - This report presents information regarding the patterns of variation in the salaries paid to public and private school teachers in relation to various personal and job characteristics. Specifically, the analysis examines the relationship between compensation and variables such as public/private schools, gender, race/ethnic background, school level and type, teacher qualifications, and different work environments. The economic conceptual framework of hedonic wage theory, which illuminates the trade-offs between monetary rewards and the various sets of characteristics of employees and jobs, was used to analyze The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database. The national survey was administered by the National Center for Education Statistics during the 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1993-94 school years. Findings indicate that on average, public school teachers earned between about 25 to 119 percent higher salaries than did private school teachers, depending on the private subsector. Between about 2 and 50 percent of the public-private difference could be accounted for by differences in teacher characteristics, depending on the private subsector. White and Hispanic male public school teachers earned higher salaries than their female counterparts. Hedonic wage theory would predict that teacher salaries would be higher in schools with more challenging, more difficult, and less desirable work environments. Schools with higher levels of student violence, lower levels of administrative support, and large class sizes paid higher salaries to compensate teachers for the additional burdens. However, some of the findings contradict the hypothesis. For example, public school teachers working in schools characterized by fewer family problems, higher levels of teacher influence on policy, and higher job satisfaction also received higher salaries. In conclusion, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that a complex array of factors underlie the processes of teacher supply and demand and hence the determination of salaries. Teachers are not all the same, but are differentiated by their attributes. At the same time, districts and schools are differentiated by virtue of the work environment they offer. Seventeen tables and two figures are included. Appendices contain technical notes, descriptive statistics and parameter estimates for variables, and standard errors for selected tables.

The report begins with a general statement on the background of the Act, which established a comprehensive environmental education program at the Federal level to support State and local efforts. It also established an Office of Environmental Education within the Environmental Protection Agency. The general statement is followed by the current congressional legislation history and a summary of S.1873. The bill, a single title with nine sections, extends the authorization for programs authorized by the National Environmental Education Act until the year 2007. The bill includes a number of changes to make programs authorized under the Act operate more effectively and efficiently. For example, Section 2 ensures that the Office of Environmental Education's programs will be balanced and scientifically sound. The Act supports environmental education programs and materials that characterize environmental problems in a factual and objective manner. A section-by-section analysis describes these changes. The analysis is followed by a cost projection of the legislation and changes in the language of the existing law.

AN - 62580578; ED399308 AB - This report addresses widespread beliefs about the performance of urban students, and their family and school environments. Using data from several national surveys, it compares urban students and schools with their suburban and rural counterparts on a broad range of factors, including student population and background characteristics, afterschool activities, school experiences, and student outcomes, focusing specifically on the effects of poverty. The methodology used to explore differences among schools incorporates a control for the concentration of poverty in the school. Even after controlling for poverty, urban students compared less favorably to their nonurban counterparts on many measures. Urban high poverty schools and students performed similarly or more favorably than other high poverty schools on half of the measures studied, and high poverty concentration seemed to present equally challenging circumstances in all locations. On the other half of the measures, urban schools compared unfavorably, but, when considering the large overall variations by location and poverty concentration, urban high poverty schools and their students were generally no different than the effects of location and poverty concentration would have predicted. Five appendixes provide estimates and standard error tables, discussions of methodology and data sources, and a bibliography. (Contains 11 figures in the Executive Summary, 127 figures in the text, 3 charts, and 52 appendix tables.

Hearings before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session. AN - 62565952; ED406057 AB - These hearings transcripts present testimony regarding parents' and schools' roles in teaching values to school age children, the federal funds involved in values education, and the remedies available to parents who may object to or be offended by some of the topics taught and the vehicles used to teach these topics. Witnesses included: (1) representatives from Delaware, California, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio; (2) William Bennett, former Secretary of Education; and (3) several parents, teachers, and school administrators. Testimony presented noted that parental involvement is the most important factor in helping children succeed in school. Parents want their children to be taught the basics, but trust in schools is broken when parents are shut out of the process. Schools need to reflect the values of the community. School choice improves schools and reinvolves parents. How people in school treat one another is more important than values programs. Children are moral agents who recognize right from wrong as defined by moral influences, whether from parents, teachers, friends, or television. Additional testimony conveyed parents' disagreement with the content of information conveyed in school programs for sex education and AIDS education, parents' concerns about treatment of homosexual students, and possible misuse of government funds for AIDS education.

To become competitive in global markets, farmers will need to rely on the research community to provide up-to-date technology and market information. The purpose of the hearings was to establish research priorities for the 21st century, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the federal research investment, and improve accountability through the establishment of a coordinated advisory and priority setting mechanism. Testimony was received from U.S. Senators and Representatives; Under-Secretaries from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); and spokespersons for agribusiness associations, agricultural science associations, research institutions, land grant universities, and the Extension Service. The following topics were discussed: the role of the National Center for Agricultural Utilization and Research (Peoria, Illinois) in commercialization of agricultural products; financial and political threats to the federal government's role in agricultural research and education; research priorities related to human nutrition, new agricultural and livestock pests and diseases, food safety, and farming's environmental issues; replacing petrochemical ingredients in industrial products with agriculture-based ingredients; proposed participants and processes in setting research priorities for government funding; importance of sustainable agriculture; the needs of rural families and communities that are not usually well supported in USDA budgets and extension programs; worldwide research on consumer food preferences; structure and funding of federally funded agricultural research programs conducted by land grant universities, the USDA Agricultural Research Service, and the agribusiness industry; and the role and methods of the Cooperative Extension Service in disseminating research-based information to farmers.

AN - 62441490; ED424046 AB - The Library of Congress has a wealth of information on North American Indian people but does not have a separate collection or section devoted to them. The nature of the Library's broad subject divisions, variety of formats, and methods of acquisition have dispersed relevant material among a number of divisions. This guide aims to help the researcher to encounter Indian people through the Library's collections and to enhance the Library staff's own ability to assist with that encounter. The guide is arranged by collections or divisions within the Library and focuses on American Indian and Alaska Native peoples within the United States. Each section includes an introductory description, information on using the collections and their reading room, and descriptions or annotations for selected books and collections. Sections include: (1) general collections (main reading room, catalogs and Internet access, children's literature center, local history and genealogy reading room, periodicals, microform reading room, multimedia formats); (2) rare book and special collections division; (3) manuscript division (master record of manuscript collections, register, National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections); (4) the Law Library of Congress; (5) Prints and Photographs Division; (6) Geography and Maps Division; (7) Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division; (8) Music Division and Recorded Sound Reference Center; and (9) American Folklife Center. In addition, the guide contains "gateways," thematic summaries of major Indian subject areas in the collections. Includes an index and many photographs and illustrations.

AN - 62436663; ED426235 AB - Nontraditional education credits can be earned in many ways. Some methods of assessing learning for credit are objective, such as standardized texts; others are more objective, such as a review of life experiences. Options for earning a high school diploma without spending 4 years in a classroom are as follows: General Educational Development programs; skills demonstration through the National External Diploma Program; and correspondence and distance study. The college picture includes credit through classwork or experience and college degree programs. Adults can receive college credit for what they know by passing examinations and documenting experiential learning through credit: credit for prior college coursework; credit for noncollege courses; credit by examination, including five national testing programs, college and university credit-by-exam programs, and government institute proficiency exams; and credit for experience. Nontraditional students who choose to earn a college degree should evaluate colleges' nontraditional programs based on their accreditation, program features, residency requirements, and tuition and other expenses. (A resources section lists four organizations who can provide information on programs and describes nine publications/guides to nontraditional education. Sources for additional information on all options for earning credits are provided in the text.)

Elkin's early anthropological work on Australian Aborigines in light of his relationship with A. O. Neville, the government official in charge of Aborigines in Western Australia during the late 1920s. It is argued that Elkin's research & its interpretation were strongly influenced by his wish to please Neville & to promote anthropology as an activity useful to (& fundable by) the government. Excerpts from letters & other primary materials show that Elkin's desire for government approval led him to refrain from criticizing government treatment of Aborigines, to reject researchers who were critical of that treatment, to cast anthropology as helpful to achieving white goals, & to limit the subject matter & methodology of his investigations.
