AN - 62676052; ED392442 AB - In response to the federal goal to connect all of the nation's school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies to the information superhighway, the U.S. Department of Education commissioned a survey to obtain current data to compare with baseline data (obtained in 1994) on the status of advanced telecommunications in public elementary and secondary schools. 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.

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.

Human males and children from low and high pollution areas were examined for evidence of DNA single strand breaks in nasal epithelium. A group composed of new arrivals in the highly polluted area was also studied. Those in the highly polluted area spent more than seven hours per day outdoors and had upper respiratory symptoms. Children and adults in the highly polluted area had significantly more evidence of single strand breakage than children and adults in area of low pollution. Single strand breakage increased from 39.8 during the first week to 67.29 during the second week. After that the number of single strand breaks remained stable.

A dose response inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) was noted for toxaphene, DDT, and dieldrin within 90 minutes of exposure. Within 24 hours GJIC was restored for DDT and toxaphene, but no recovery of the response was noted for dieldrin. 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.

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. Partial removal of chlorophenols between 40-60% is usually observed in aerobic and anaerobic processes. Removal can be enhanced by a combination of aerobic and anaerobic operations.

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.

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.

Res. 93 before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims and the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session (December 13, 1995). AN - 62575580; ED400046 AB - This hearing transcript presents testimony on several House resolutions regarding immigration and citizenship. Two bills propose amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to limit birthright citizenship to persons with citizen or legal resident mothers (HR 705) or to deny such citizenship to children of parents who are not citizens or permanent resident aliens (HR 363). Five joint resolutions propose to amend the Constitution to restrict birthright citizenship to persons with legal resident mothers or fathers (HJ Res 56 and 87); citizen or legal resident mothers (HJ Res 64); a citizen parent at the birth (HJ Res 88); or a citizen parent, lawfully in the United States, or with a lawful immigration status at the birth (HJ Res 93). Witnesses included: (1) several Representatives from the state of California; (2) Representatives from the states of Florida, Hawaii, and Illinois; (3) A former reporter from the "El Paso Times"; (4) university law professors; (5) Barbara Jordan, chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform; (6) Assistant U.S. Attorney General Walter Dellinger; and (7) a deputy director, Income Maintenance Bureau, San Diego County Department of Social Services. Witnesses testified that smugglers bring pregnant women into the country to give birth so their children are citizens; educational and social welfare benefits for children of illegal aliens were cited as causes. Others argued that because the 14th Amendment grant of birthright citizenship was not meant to apply to children of illegal aliens, a federal statute could end birthright citizenship; others argued that a Constitutional amendment is required to modify birthright citizenship. Appendices contain additional statements, letters, or materials submitted by witnesses.

AN - 62571381; ED401688 AB - This guide is intended to assist elementary and secondary schools as they plan compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), conduct required self-evaluation and transition plans, and make appropriate modifications. The eight chapters correspond with the regulations and include many worksheets and examples. Chapter 1 briefly discusses each of the ADA's titles, especially Title II which assures access to all programs and services provided by state and local government agencies. In Chapter 2 the emphasis is on the law's definition of a "qualified individual with a disability." Chapter 3 identifies action steps toward compliance and offers a three-phase process for completing self-evaluation planning. Chapter 4 reviews the general prohibitions against discrimination contained in Title II regulations, especially schools' obligation to provide a "free and appropriate public education." Chapter 5 explains ADA provisions concerning recruitment, hiring, and other employment-related issues. Program accessibility is the focus of Chapter 6. Chapter 7 explains Title II requirements for ensuring effective communication for persons with visual, hearing, and speech disabilities. Chapter 8 reviews the enforcement procedures for Title II and the remedies available if an institution is determined not to be in compliance. The last section identifies relevant sources of information.

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.

Hearings before the Subcommittee on Resource Conservation, Research, and Forestry of the Committee on Agriculture. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session (March 27, May 14, July 17, 1996). AN - 62559770; ED401063 AB - Three House of Representatives' subcommittee hearings were held in March, May, and July 1996 to evaluate the goals, priority setting, and advisory mechanisms of federal programs in agricultural research, education, and extension. 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 - 62553579; ED400609 AB - Today, a parent's right to choose a private education for his or her children is reflected in the statutes of all 50 states. State regulation of private schools, however, is not without limitations. The challenge to state legislators in regulating private schools is to draft legislation that: (1) respects the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children; (2) protects the states' interest in an informed citizenry but avoids interference with religious beliefs unless compelling interests are at issue; and (3) avoids comprehensive regulation of private education that would deprive parents of any choice in education. This handbook presents findings of a study, initiated by the Office of Nonpublic Education, U.S. Department of Education, that conducted a state-by-state analysis of state laws regulating private education. The study, which includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia, identified the following general areas of regulation advanced by state legislators: recordkeeping and reports, licensing/registration/accreditation, health and safety, curriculum, and public funding. The data show that none of the states regulates private schools in the same way. The report contains comparison charts depicting state oversight of private schools, state-mandated educational requirements, and public assistance to private schools and private school children.

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.

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.

P. Elkin, A. O. Neville and Anthropological Research in Northwest Western Australia AN - 61503550; 9803687 AB - Discusses A. P. 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.

These include reduction in larval growth (Kosalwat and Knight, 1987), changes in patterns of adult emergence (McCahon and Pascoe, 1991) and increased frequency of structural deformities in the antennae and head capsule of larvae (e.g., Hamilton and Saether, 1971; Hare and Carter, 1976; Wiederholm, 1984; Warwick, 1985; 1989). The incidence of larval deformities appears to be a widespread phenomenon occurring in a wide variety of chironomid genera, both free-living and tubiferous in the benthos, in response to a variety of stresses (Wiederholm, 1984; Warwick, 1989). A considerable database on types of deformities correlated with different types of stress has been assembled and a number of index systems have been developed for use in biomonitoring programs (Warwick, 1985). This technique has gained wide acceptance among environmental agencies throughout the world, primarily because it is sensitive, relatively simple and inexpensive, and has been used often in environmental assessment programs.

We are particularly concerned with biomarkers which are informative about aerobiosis. Here, we combine bacterial biochemistry with the organic geochemistry of contemporary and ancient hydrothermal ecosystems to construct models for the nature, behaviour and preservation potential of primitive microbial communities. We use a combined molecular and isotopic approach to characterize lipids produced by cultured bacteria and test a variety of culture conditions which affect their biosynthesis. This information is then compared with lipid mixtures isolated from contemporary hot springs and evaluated for the kinds of chemical change that would accompany burial and incorporation into the sedimentary record. In this study we have shown that growth temperature does not appear to alter isotopic fractionation within the lipid classes produced by a methanotropic bacterium. We also found that cultured cyanobacteria biosynthesize diagnostic methylalkanes and dimethylalkanes with the latter only made when growing under low pCO sub(2). In an examination of a microbial mat sample from Octopus Spring, Yellowstone National Park (USA), we could readily identify chemical structures with super(13)C contents which were diagnostic for the phototrophic organisms such as cyanobacteria and Chloroflexus. We could not, however, find molecular evidence for operation of a methane cycle in the particular mat samples we studied. JF - EVOLUTION OF HYDROTHERMAL ECOSYSTEMS ON EARTH (AND MARS?)

The following groups of children (ages, 12 to 60 months) were compared: children without any infection (n = 51), children with uncomplicated shigellosis (n = 65), children admitted with complicated shigellosis (leukemoid reaction and/or hemolytic-uremic syndrome) (n = 29), and children with shigellosis who developed complications after enrollment (subsequently complicated shigellosis) (n = 12). Tests for the peripheral blood mononuclear cell phenotype (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD20, and CD25), spontaneous proliferation, and the proliferative response to phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, and the lipopolysaccharide of S. dysenteriae 1 were performed, as were skin tests for delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH). Children who subsequently developed complications differed from other groups of children as follows: (i) the numbers of CD3 super(+) and CD4 super(+) cells were lower than in uninfected children (P < 0.05), (ii) the CD4/CD8 ratio was lower than in children with uncomplicated shigellosis (P < 0.05) and in uninfected children (P < 0.05), and (iii) the levels of spontaneous proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were higher and DTH responses were lower than those in children with uncomplicated shigellosis (P < 0.05 and P < 0.017, respectively). Children with complications differed by having (i) increased numbers of CD3 super(-) CD16 super(-) CD20 super(-) cells (P < 0.05) compared with those in other groups of children and (ii) lower CD4/CD8 ratios (P < 0.05), higher levels of spontaneous proliferation (P < 0.05), and lower DTH responses (P = 0.005) than children with uncomplicated shigellosis. Three to five days after enrollment, the number of CD4 super(+) cells increased in children who subsequently developed complications (P = 0.025), i.e., when they developed complications and at this time their CD4 super(+) cell number was similar to that of other groups of children. Thus, lymphocyte phenotype and function are altered prior to the development of complications in children with shigellosis, and once complications develop, the pattern of alterations changes. Whether these alterations have a role in precipitating complications or whether they reflect early events underlying the development of complications remains to be elucidated.

A major component of any CMSS application is the data-acquisition phase. This includes gathering spatial information such as stream network, land use, and land capability. It also includes determining nutrient export rates from those land uses, and specifying the management practices currently being employed or considered for those land uses within the catchment. Once all these data are collected, they are entered into CMSS and predictions of nutrient loads for the catchment can be made. Using the CMSS software is very easy and guidance is available via workshops and the CMSS Users Manual. Gathering the preliminary data for input to CMSS is more difficult and involves collecting and interpreting data from many sources, including local landholders and representatives of government agencies. This Tutorial Book describes how to go about gathering these data based on the authors' experiences with applying CMSS to many catchments within Australia.

They are particularly useful in higher rainfall regions (>400 mm/yr) where year-round moistness of saline areas precludes the use of saltbush (Atriplex) and bluebush (Maireana) species. The success of tall wheat grass and puccinellia will depend on the selection of species/genotypes which can tolerate the salinity and water availability conditions of the region. In this report we review the available literature on salt tolerance and water use of these grasses and highlight further information required for their successful growth.

The soils were mapped by reference to mapped information on geological formations, classification of imaged airborne gamma-radiation data, and classification of a digital elevation map. Soil properties were determined by sampling 4 profile depths at 87 sites and measuring 6 properties for each sample. Sampling was based on geologically and radiometrically defined soil provinces, with the major vegetation patterns given by a land cover map derived from satellite imagery. The relevance of the mapped soil provinces to land use is discussed and a land suitability map of 6 classes is derived.

Preliminary results indicate that both mineral magnetics and major element geochemistry may be useful for distinguishing sediments derived from various parts of the Cimanuk catchment. Detectable concentrations of super(137)Cs are present in the samples, suggesting that super(137)Cs may be useful for distinguishing between subsoil and topsoil sources; however, concentrations are low and more analyses are required to properly assess this.

Part 1 describes a semi-automated method developed for the determination of nitrate-N which is run from a computer program set up in MS DOS. The method is based on Downes' (1978) automated procedure where nitrate is reduced to nitrite with hydrazine sulphate under alkaline conditions in the presence of a Cu super(2+)/Zn super(2+) catalyst. The method is suitable for both water and alkaline soil samples and compares favourably with the automated cadmium technique used at the CSIRO Division of Forestry chemistry laboratory in Mount Gambier, S.A. The method is linear at nitrate concentrations of 0.2 to 3.0 mg nitrate-N per litre. The standard deviation of samples containing 2 mg NO sub(3)-N per litre was 0.09 mg N per litre. Part 2 is a brief description of an ammonium-N determination method. This method is also run from a computer program set up in MS DOS and was based on the automated method of Stainton et al. (1977) using the phenol-hypochlorite reaction. The method is linear at concentrations of 0.1 to 2.5 mg ammonium-N per litre and is able to be used for both water and soil samples.

Foot muscle tissue from juvenile H. laevigata and hybrid H. laevigata x H. rubra fed an artificial diet was compared with that of juvenile H. laevigata fed the green alga Ulva australis. The major fatty acids in all samples of muscle were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1(n-9), 18:1(n-7), 20:4(n-6), 20:5(n-3) and 22:5(n-3). The abundance of 22:5(n-3) is unusual as most marine animals have much more 22:6(n-3). The muscle of juvenile abalone fed an artificial diet high in total lipids and 18:2(n-6) contained elevated total lipid levels and elevated levels of 18:2(n-6) and 20:2(n-6). The muscle of abalone fed U. australis, which was high in C16 and C18(n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), contained elevated proportions of their chain-elongation products C20 and C22(n-3) PUFA, which is similar to wild-caught adult abalone. The major sterol in all samples of abalone muscle was cholesterol, irrespective of diet. The muscle of juvenile H. laevigata fed an artificial diet high in 24-methylcholest-5-enol and 24-ethylcholest-5-enol contained elevated proportions of these sterols compared with the muscle of juveniles fed U. australis and wild-caught adult abalone. Observed differences in fatty acid and sterol compositions were attributed to the accumulation of lipid in the foot muscle of abalone fed an artificial diet.

We also determined the 16S rRNA sequence of ACAM 21, a representative strain of a biovar of Halomonas subglaciescola. The members of the genera Deleya, Halomonas, and Halovibrio and the misnamed organism Paracoccus halodenitrificans formed a monophyletic group within the gamma subclass of the Proteobacteria. The 16S rRNA sequences of the members of this group contained all of the signature features previously identified as characteristic of the group. The frequency of occurrence of these signature features among other members of the gamma subclass has remained stable during the expansion of the database of rRNA sequences. The levels of 16S rRNA sequence similarity between members of the species belonging to the genera Deleya, Halomonas, and Halovibrio and the misnamed organism P. halodenitrificans ranged from 91.5 to 100%; however, the level of sequence similarity for members of well-resolved monophyletic subgroups which might represent separate genera was 98%. At a sequence similarity level of 98% 10 subgroups were resolved, but these groups could not be differentiated on the basis of chemotaxonomic or phenotypic characteristics. In this paper we propose that members of the genera Deleya, Halomonas, and Halovibrio should be placed in a single genus, the genus Halomonas, and we emend the description of this genus. The resulting new combinations are Halomonas aquamarina (Deleya aquamarina Akagawa and Yamasato 1989), Halomonas variabilis (Halovibrio variabilis Fendrich 1988), Halomonas venusta (Deleya venusta Baumann et al. 1983), Halomonas cupida (Deleya cupida Baumann et al. 1983), Halomonas pacifica (Deleya pacifica Baumann et al. 1983), Halomonas marina (Deleya marina Baumann et al. 1983), Halomonas halophila (Deleya halophila Quesada et al. 1984), and Halomonas salina (Deleya salina Valderrama et al. 1991). We transfer the misnamed organism P. halodenitrificans to the genus Halomonas as Halomonas halodenitrificans comb. nov. (P. halodenitrificans Robinson and Gibbons 1952). The genus Zymobacter is closely related to the genus Halomonas. While the genus Zymobacter can be clearly distinguished from the genus Halomonas, these two taxa share important genotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic characteristics. We propose that the genus Zymobacter should be transferred to the family Halomonadaceae and emend the description of the family Halomonadaceae. The 16S rRNA sequence of Halomonas subglaciescola ACAM 21 was significantly different from the 16S rRNA sequence of the type strain of Halomonas subglaciescola (strain ACAM 12) but was nearly identical to the 16S rRNA sequence of Halomonas halodurans.

Larvae have the ability to tolerate repeated exposure to air for up to 9 h at a time, as confirmed by laboratory experiments. This tolerance is apparently advantageous in the highly dynamic, unpredictable habitat conditions, especially when pools are successively wet and dry almost daily during the end of the rainy season. Survival of larvae depended on the presence of sediment, and was always followed by moulting. Inducible and repeated moulting showed that numbers of moults and instars were not always indicative of development. We present data on C. hydation abundance in 2 rock pools throughout 1 y. From these data, larval development was estimated to require between 19 and 25 d (24-29 degree C).

Calculations indicate that different hydraulic apertures of water-bearing fractures may account for variations in dissolved super(222)Rn concentration measured in domestic water wells completed in fractured Pikes Peak Granite, assuming that all other factors influencing dissolved super(222)Rn concentrations are constant. Concentrations of dissolved super(222)Rn range from 124 to 840 kBq m super(-3) [3,360 to 22,700 picocuries per liter (pCi L super(-1))] within a 2.5 km super(2) well field. Aquifer tests show that transmissivities range from 0.072 to 160 m super(2) day super(-1) within the well field. Acoustic televiewer and heat-pulse flow meter logging of four wells reveals that, despite tens to hundreds of fractures that intersect each well, a single fracture supplies all the flow to three wells, and one fracture provides 65% of the flow to the fourth well. Aquifer tests indicate that two pairs of the four wells are hydraulically connected. Type-curve interpretation of early-time data from aquifer tests reveals classic half-slope behavior on log-log plots of drawdown versus time for two wells, suggesting linear flow to a single fracture. Drawdown versus time for the other two wells indicates radial or pseudo-radial flow, which suggests a higher degree of fracture interconnectivity near those boreholes. Hydraulic apertures calculated using the cubic law are 0.024 and 0.038 cm for producing fractures in the first hydraulically connected well pair and 0.011 and 0.020 cm for flowing fractures in the second well pair. Assuming uniform distribution of super(226)Ra along fracture walls and long residence time of water relative to super(222)Rn decay, the ratio of fracture apertures should equal the inverse ratio of super(222)Rn concentration in each well. Assuming 50% error in hydraulic aperture estimation and 10% analytical uncertainty in super(222)Rn measurement, differences in super(222)Rn concentration between wells in the hydraulically connected pairs can be attributed solely to differences in hydraulic aperture. Different hydraulic apertures, however, do not explain different super(222)Rn concentrations between well pairs. Allowing for measurement error, a cubic meter of rock transfer from 1.3 to 20 times more super(222)Rn to ground water in the first pair of wells than in the second pair. Nonuniform distribution of super(226)Ra along fracture walls, heterogeneous emanating power in the rock-water system, or short ground-water residence time along the transmissive fracture network may account for the difference between well pairs.

It was harvested during logarithmic and stationary phases for analysis of biochemical composition. Across the different light regimes, protein (as % of organic weight) was highest in cells during logarithmic phase, whereas carbohydrate and lipid were highest during stationary phase. Carbohydrate concentrations were most affected by the different light regimes; cells grown under 12: 12 h L:D contained 37-44% of the carbohydrate of cells grown under 24:0 h L:D. Cells in logarithmic phase had high proportions of polar lipids (79 to 89% of total lipid) and low triacylglycerol ( less than or equal to 10% of total lipid). Cells in stationary phase contained less polar lipid (48 to 57% of total lipid) and more triacylglycerol (22 to 45% of total lipid). The fatty acid composition of logarithmic phase cells grown under 24:0 h L:D were similar, but the 100 mu mol photon m super(-2) s super(-1) (12:12 h L:D) cells at the same stage contained a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and a lower proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids due to different levels of 16:O, 16: 1(n-7), 16:4(n-1), 18:4(n-3), and 20:5(n-3). With the onset of stationary phase, cells grown at 100 mu mol photon m super(-2) s super(-1) (both 12:12 and 24:0 h L:D) increased in proportions of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and decreased in PUFAs. Concentrations (% organic or dry weight) of 14:0, 16:0, 16:1(n-7), 20:5(n-3), and 22:6(n-3) increased in cells of all cultures during stationary phase. The amino acid compositions of cells were similar irrespective of harvest stage and light regime. For mariculture, the recommended light regime for culturing T. pseudonana will depend on the nutritional requirements of the animal to which the alga is fed. For rapidly growing bivalve mollusc larvae, stationary-phase cultures grown under a 24:0 h L:D regime may provide more energy by virtue of their higher percentage of carbohydrate and high proportions and concentrations of energy-rich saturated fatty acids.

A mutation affecting one of these, G131D, had been previously characterized and was found to interrupt assembly of F sub(0)F sub(1)-ATPase. 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 Val super(124) to Gly super(131) forming an alpha -helix. Two of the mutations, V124D and A128D, resulted in a similar phenotype to the G131D mutation. This suggested that Val super(124), Ala super(128), and Gly super(131) 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.

The expression of the ipt gene was monitored by RNA hybridization, western blotting and cytokinin analysis. The addition of auxin to the media rapidly reduced the level of cytokinins in the transgenic tissues and this was associated with a reduction in IPT mRNA and protein levels. It is concluded that the hormone auxin can regulate expression of a gene involved in biosynthesis of the second hormone cytokinin. Although exogenous benzyladenine did not directly affect ipt gene expression, it did antagonize the effect of auxin on levels of cytokinins and IPT mRNA and protein.

Yet opinions remain divided with regard to its human health risk. Based on new data, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been updating its assessment of dioxin risk since 1991. In December 1994, EPA submitted for review a final draft report to its Science Advisory Board (SAB), a group of independent experts. Several months later, the news media reported highly critical comments by some SAB members, raising concerns among those who want to ensure that EPA's decisions are based on sound science. The SAB completed its review last September and approved most of the report. However, it withheld approval of two chapters pending extensive revisions. The House Committee on Science held a hearing on the dioxin reassessment December 13, 1995, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations have directed the agency to incorporate SAB recommendations into its report. This paper briefly describes the state of scientific knowledge about dioxin, the reassessment project, the SAB review, scientific issues that remain unresolved, EPA dioxin regulations under development and recommendations of the Committees on Appropriations.

The filter media was lighter than water; thus, the bed floated. Since coarse media remained at the bottom, the flow direction was upflow, which had the added advantage of the flow being in the direction of grain compression. Polypropylene and Polystyrene were the optimum combination of media, which due to their large density difference did not intermix even under severe agitation, thus eliminating the media intermixing problem common to dual media filters. The influent concentrations were kept constant and the flow velocity, and filter media size and shape were varied. The headloss variation along the filter, the influent quality of two filter layers, and the effluent quality were studied. Filter runs exceeding 40 h were achieved before reaching breakthrough at conventional rapid sand filtration rates. Floating media obtained turbidity removal per unit headloss in comparison to sand media, and floating media are proposed as a prefilter in surface-water filtration.

It appears, however, that stages from several organisms were combined to create the life cycle of P. karlssoni. The ultrastructure of the agent in lesions of bay scallops is not documented adequately to diagnose affinities to the genus Perkinsus. Furthermore, there was discrepancy as to whether P. karlssoni enlarged in fluid thioglycollate medium, and the shape and structure of the prezoosporangia as well as the movement and life span of the zoospores were not consistent with the genus Perkinsus. P. karlssoni cannot be considered as a species of Perkinsus. JF - Diseases of Aquatic Organisms AU - Goggin, CL AU - McGladdery, SE AU - Whyte, S K AU - Cawthorn, R J AD - CSIRO Div.

These farms generally have clay soils with saline water tables within 2 m of the soil surface. More-efficient irrigation systems can reduce reliance on on-farm evaporation basins required to store water from sub-surface drains. This paper compares costs and benefits of 5 different irrigation systems - (1) Flood, (2) Overhead Sprinkler, (3) Undervine Micro-jet, (4) Drip, and (5) Riverina Twin Furrow - to assess which system is most financially attractive and the most environmentally sustainable. The financial feasibility of planting one of 5 grape varieties is also examined under each irrigation system option. Vine row width is also examined to assess the effect on potential extra yields (and therefore extra income). The financial analysis enables the feasibility of each development to be gauged using the criteria of Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR). The net and cumulative cash flows can also be determined over the analysis period to determine the Net Cash Flow per hectare (NCF/ha), Break-Even Time (BET), and Expected Peak Debt (EPD). The cash-flow budget incorporates a program called (at)Risk which enables a range of variables to be modelled simultaneously. The Drip system is the most environmentally sustainable, producing no drainage effluent, and it has the highest water-use efficiency. The Drip and Flood systems produce similar financial results in terms of NPV, Break-Even time, and steady-state NCF/ha, with or without the installation of sub-surface drainage. The Flood system is considerably cheaper to install than the Drip system, but the Drip system's low annual operating costs outweigh its initial expense and make it the most financially and environmentally attractive system. Chardonnay, with the highest NPV, is the grape variety that is currently the most financially attractive, given MIA average yields and prices (taking into account future demand). The next most financially attractive variety is Shiraz, followed by Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscat Gordo Blanco. The choice of grape variety had more influence on the financial attractiveness of the new vineyard development than the choice of irrigation system. By decreasing row width to 3.0 m, individual vine yield was not reduced and total returns (steady state NCF/ha) could be increased by about $3500/ha/year using Drip or Flood irrigation systems in combination with Chardonnay.

Here, we used weighing lysimeters planted with lucerne on two undisturbed soils -Hanwood loam (L1) and Mundiwa clay loam (L2) - to measure the upflow from an initially non-saline watertable in 1990/91 and 1991/92; measurements were repeated in 1992/93 with a more saline watertable in an otherwise unchanged system. The effect of the saline watertable introduction in 1992/93 was to significantly reduce upflow. Upflow accounted for 55% (in L1) and 22% (in L2) of evaporation in 1990/91, 49% and 44% in 1991/92, and 25% and 13% in 1992/93. Even when account was made for the different season in 1991/92 compared to 1992/93, upflow values were still markedly different. The reduction in upflow due to the saline watertable occurred even though there was only a small reduction in root length density immediately above the watertable. During a drying cycle, the onset of water deficit stress stimulated downward root growth. Roots adapted by continuing to supply sufficient water to match evaporative demand for a considerable period following cessation of irrigation, but this did not continue once the upper soil layers were dry. We conclude that plants prefer to obtain and use water from shallow soil storage. JF - CSIRO DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES, GPO BOX 1666, CANBERRA ACT 2601 (AUSTRALIA). 1996.

This method produces highly consistent and reproducible patterns, can detect almost all mRNAs in a sample, and can resolve hidden differences such as bands that differ in their sequence but comigrate on a gel. Bands corresponding to known cDNAs move to predictable positions on the gel, making this a powerful approach to correlate gel patterns with cDNA data bases. Applying this method, we have examined differences in gene expression patterns during T-cell activation. Of a total of 700 bands that were evaluated in this study, as many as 3-4% represented mRNAs that are up-regulated, while approximately 2% were down-regulated within 4 hr of activation of Jurkat T cells.

Three tillage treatments were selected for the experiments: one was a direct-drill treatment, while the other two involved the use of a reduced tillage practice during the preparation of the seed bed. Tillage treatment was found to have no substantial effect on runoff and sediment concentration resulting from sheet erosion during the post-harvest period. At sowing time, tillage again had no significant effect on sediment concentration but did have a significant effect on runoff. The roughness produced by the tillage provided a substantial capacity to store water and detached soil particles in surface depressions immediately after cultivation, and the decline in this surface roughness during rainfall was sufficiently small to cause little or no runoff when 1 h of 70 mm/h rain was applied to a cultivated surface. The results support indications from SOILOSS, a model that provides local implementation of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), that reduced-till may be as effective as direct-drill at conserving soil at this site. However, since the experiments were restricted to sheet erosion, and no experiments were performed between sowing and harvest or with other crops in the rotation, the results do not provide unconditional support for the SOILOSS result. Despite the result of the experiments reported here, soil erosion risk is likely to be substantially reduced on a field scale through the use of tillage practices which, like the direct-drill treatment, maintain anchored and unanchored crop residue during the fallow and post-sowing periods. Data were also collected in relation to an examination of the ability of the Soil Water Infiltration and Movement (SWIM) model to predict runoff during the post-harvest period. SWIM tended to underpredict runoff but the difference between the observed amount of runoff and that predicted by SWIM was statistically not significant.

Differences in the erodibility of the surfaces were obtained between the 2 methods. The differences in erodibility were associated with the development of a layer of coarse pre-detached material on the previously eroded surfaces. The influence of this layer on erodibility is such that changing the experimental procedure may influence the results obtained from experiments designed to determine soil erodibility under rain-impacted flow.

This study examines the effects of 2-chlorosyringaldehyde (2-CSA), quantitatively the major chlorinated phenol found in elemental chlorine free (ECF) bleached kraft eucalypt pulp effluent, on a suite of biomarkers in sand flathead. Fish received an intraperitoneal injection of 2-CSA at doses of 0.15, 1.5, 15 or 75 mg kg super(-1). After 4 d, no changes with dose were found in the activities of the detoxification enzymes ethoxycoumarin-o-deethylase (ECOD), ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (EROD) or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT). Cytochrome P450 content and serum sorbitol dehydrogenase (SSDH) activity were also unchanged with dose. A subsequent experiment applied the same suite of biomarkers to sand flathead exposed to simulated ECF bleached eucalypt pulp effluent, at concentrations of 0.5, 2 and 8% (v/v). Similarly, there were no significant differences between effluent-exposed and control fish for ECOD, EROD, P450, UDPGT or SSDH. Liver somatic index was also not significantly different between exposed and control fish. Results indicate that liver detoxification enzyme activities, which are widely used biomarkers of pulp mill effluent exposure, may not be useful biomarkers for effluents from mills using ECF bleaching.

Although the use of metal on metal bearing couples would eliminate or substantially reduce particulate polyethylene generation (depending on the presence or absence of polyethylene in the implant system), there is concern about the potential for increased particulate and ionic metal generation in comparison with polyethylene on metal bearings. These metallic degradation products may be transported away from the implant site and distributed systemically. Chromium concentrations in the serum and urine and cobalt concentrations in the serum were measured in subjects with cobalt chromium alloy metal on metal total hip replacements and in controls without implants. Eight subjects with long term (> 20 years) McKee-Farrar total hip replacements had 9-fold elevations in serum chromium, 35-fold elevations in urine chromium, and at least 3-fold elevations in serum cobalt concentrations in comparison with controls. Six subjects with short term (< 2 years) metal on metal surface replacement arthroplasties had 3-fold elevations in serum chromium, 4-fold elevations in urine chromium, and 4-fold elevations in serum cobalt concentrations in comparison with subjects with McKee-Farrar implants. Although the toxicologic importance of these trace metal elevations has not been established, serum and urine metal concentrations may be useful markers for the tribologic performance of metal on metal bearings.

The landfarm area (8000 m super(2)) was enclosed in an impermeable clay embankment and where necessary the base was also rolled with clay. Microbial inoculation was not deemed to be necessary since suitable degrading biota were found to be present in site samples prior to commencement of the landfarming. Fertilizer amendment comprised primarily ammonium sulphate and superphosphate to give a C:N ratio (TPH:fertilizer) of 28:1 and a C:P ratio of 200:1. The soil was turned regularly and watered as required for the 12-month duration of the operation. Over this period levels of TPH showed a linear decline from a mean of 4644 mg /kg (SD = 1252 mg/kg) to near 100 mg/kg or less, with greatest losses being in the chain lengths C10-C28. The costing was determined to be $A13.40c per m super(3) ($A10.30c per tonne), which is at the lower end of the spectrum of reported landfarming costs. Costing of such operations is important since the reported economics will influence others' choice of bioremediation techniques.

These are sesquioxidic soils which include red, yellow and grey earths, and soils related to yellow and red earths. The potential, for these arable soils to be degraded by highly erosive rainfalls, common to the region, is high. Farming practices strongly influence the soil surface characteristics (vegetation cover, roughness, soil strength), which in turn control surface runoff, and sediment detachment and transport. In studies conducted during 1984-89 in the Daly Basin, conventionally tilled catchments, produced 1.5-2 times more runoff and lost 1.5-6 times more soil than their no-tillage counterparts (all catchments were within soil conservation banks). In these conventionally tilled catchments, soil loss was less than or equal to 8.1 t/ha.year. Other studies in the region have shown that, without soil conservation banks, soil loss can be around 100 t/ha.year under conventional tillage. Little work, however, has been undertaken on farms in the Australian semi-arid tropics to study the movement of nutrients and herbicides (in ionic and adsorbed forms) and further research is warranted.

The distribution, value and major trends in the enterprises comprising the agricultural sector of the semi-arid tropics are discussed in an industry context. The likely economic benefits for the farmer from the adoption of conservation tillage and ley farming come from mulch retention and increased yields. These benefits vary with the frequency of grain cropping, the legume species used and the commodity price relativities. The benefits are likely to be larger in drier growing seasons. Data on other factors, such as soil type and seasons, were inadequate for economic analysis. Some ley farming systems are more profitable than single enterprises in the short term. In the long term, the best choice for sustainable farming systems in the semi-arid tropics appears to be a legume pasture system or a legume pasture-crop system. Results to date from ley farming studies show that experimental designs need to be modified to incorporate higher cropping frequencies and more comprehensive joint product measures in order to allow a more critical economic assessment. Additional benefits to society from the adoption of conservation tillage and ley farming are likely to come from minimising adverse on-farm and off-farm effects of agricultural activities. There are strong arguments for continuing support for research and development in ley farming technology and a joint sharing of the costs between farmers and the community generally.

In the lake Goran study area annual rainfalls have varied significantly. The straight line of best fit shows a very slow increase over 116 years. An examination of the seasonal distribution of the rainfall reveals significant changes over that period. The October to December and the January to March quarters have shown significant reductions and subsequent increases during the recording period. In the early 1990s the April to June rainfalls have shown a significant increase and, coupled with comparatively low evaporation and transpiration at that time of the year, this has lead to significant increases in runoff. The excess water has been determined using a WATBAL type model for the current land-use distribution. The depth of the lake has been modelled using rainfall and excess water as inputs and evaporation as output. Given the simplicity of the model the agreement between measured and predicted lake levels is very good.

If the treated effluent is subsequently to be reused for irrigation of crops and recreational areas, from a public health viewpoint it is important to reduce the risk of contamination by pathogenic organisms. The microbiological quality of effluents is traditionally assessed by enumerating the coliform group of organisms. Die-off rate constants (K sub(b)) of 0.35 - 2.34 d super(-1) were measured for E. coli in outdoor ponds operating on synthetic sewage mix with acetate as the carbon source (260 kg COD ha super(-1) d super(-1)) at a range of depths from 12 to 34 cm. There were significant positive effects of pH, irradiance and pond depth on K sub(b). Light penetration throughout the pond depth was calculated and shown to be a useful parameter for the prediction of K sub(b). Multiple regression equations describing the influence of these environmental parameters on die-off rate constant were derived. Dry matter concentration negatively affected light penetration but had a positive influence upon pH. Pond operating conditions to maximise E. coli die-off are discussed.

Although fish consumption has long been promoted as a healthy behavior, it is apparent that through consumption humans may be exposed to chemicals that accumulate in fish tissues. Public health officials are often faced with the need to evaluate health risks associated with consumption of fish from individual fisheries and may, as a result, require additional information about the behavior of anglers who use those fisheries. Factors that affect potential health risks due to chemical contamination include the species, age, and size of fish being harvested for consumption, frequency of fish meals, parts of the fish being consumed, concentrations of contaminants in the edible tissues, and demographic characteristics of the angler population. Although information concerning preferred species, catch and harvest rates, and sizes and ages of fish caught and harvested from managed fisheries are often readily available, current data collection methodologies generally fall short of providing all of the information necessary for risk assessors to evaluate consumption behaviors and resulting health risks. In this paper I discuss ways in which fisheries data are used to estimate human health risks and recommend that fisheries managers use modified creel survey forms to collect site-specific data on harvested fish and consumption patterns of anglers in order to meet the dual needs of resource management and the protection of public health.

As a case study, the methodology was applied to classify the aquatic environments of Baixada de Jacarepagua, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Data about the fish assemblages of the region were obtained from existing studies and in samples carried monthly between March/1992 and January/1993. Local ecosystems were grouped into lagoons (Laguna da Tijuca, Laguna de Marapendi and Laguna de Jacarepagua), rivers and wetlands. River sections were classified in headwaters and lowlands. Wetlands were arranged into temporary or permanent swamps. Statistical methods of association were applied to identify ecological groups of species and to assess the affinity between the ecosystems. The environmental sensitivity was considered as the resilience capacity of the different systems and the importance of each ecosystem in the conservation of endemic/endangered taxa and of biodiversity. In order to obtain the sensitivity, data on the richness of the region, and of each ecosystem, and the proportion of primary, eucenes, exclusive and endangered taxa were converted into sensitivity determinants' factors (endemism, particularity, vulnerability, resilience, biodiversity), calculated for each environment. The total sensibility of each habitat was obtained using the multiatribute value theory (MVAT), producing scores that are positively associated with the degree of restriction that each environment presents to the establishment of human activities. In the Baixada de Jacarepagua region, the decreasing gradient of sensibility was represented by the following ordination headwaters, temporary swamps, lowlands, Laguna da Tijuca, permanent swamps, Laguna de Marapendi and Laguna de Jacarepagua.

Environmental considerations are often ignored until resource degradation reaches the stage of economic significance. Environmental side-effects of land-use activities are not confined to the area where they apply. In the case of agricultural land use, the way in which farmers use their land may impact on the profitability of neighbouring properties, other properties in the region, and the welfare of the wider community. The question arises as to which land-use practices would be financially viable for the farms as well as ensure environmental sustainability of agricultural land use. This paper outlines the framework of SMAC, a modelling tool that is being developed to analyse the economic and environmental sustainability of land use in catchments. It uses a spatial optimisation approach in a dynamic context. The methodology is applied to the Liverpool Plains catchment in northern New South Wales, Australia. Here, rising saline groundwater tables cause extensive soil salinisation. The underlying hydrological imbalance has been triggered by European-style land-use practices. The conceptual approach of the model combines farm behaviour and catchment response as two process levels. It seeks to provide assistance in developing a land-use strategy for sustainable agriculture in the catchment and provides a tool for assessing the implications of policy changes to enhance the process.

The crest reduces the daphnids' vulnerability to invertebrate predation. Crest height is an ecologically important and easily measured morphological parameter. Toxicologically-induced variation in crest growth may have important consequences for daphnid populations. The effects of exposure to the organochlorine pesticide endosulfan and high or low food levels on crest morphology and life-history parameters of D. cephalata were measured in a laboratory bioassay. Parameters that were measured included length at first reproduction, first brood size and age at maturity. The effects of endosulfan and food level on absolute crest size and relative crest growth also were measured. Exposure to endosulfan at 98 mu g/L and low food level significantly reduced length and brood size at first reproduction. Age at maturity was not affected by endosulfan but was increased at the low food level. Absolute crest growth was reduced at 22 mu g/L endosulfan and at low food level, however relative growth of the crest was not affected by either factor. The results suggest that crest growth may be an important end-point for determining the no-effect concentrations for environmental pollutants. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) of endosulfan to D. cephalata based on growth and reproduction was 49 mu g/L. The NOEC based on crest height was <22 mu g/L.

In a temperature range of 22-30 degree C, the constructed wetland units, whose hydraulic retention times (HRT) were 5-7 days, could remove more than 99% of the input phenol when they were operated at or below the organic loading rates (OLR) and influent phenol concentrations of 270 kg COD/(ha.d) and 400 mg/l, respectively. The effluent dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were 4-7 mg /l at OLR of 40-140 kg COD/(ha.d), but these DO levels decreased to 0.2-0.3 mg/l when the OLR were increased to 165-270 kg COD/(ha.d). Under similar operating conditions, the constructed wetland units could remove more than 99% of the applied chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni), when either the Cr or Ni influent concentrations were 1-50 mg /l. The phenolic and heavy metal compounds were found to accumulate mostly at the roots of Typha, followed by the stems and leaves.

It is becoming a growing problem worldwide with its focus on the megacities in the newly developed countries, since sludge production will continue to increase as new sewage treatment plants are built and environment quality standards become more stringent. With some traditional disposal routes coming under pressure, the challenge facing the wastewater treatment authorities is to find cost-effective and environmentally sound solutions whilst responding to increasing public awareness. This paper describes the development of a plan for integrated management of municipal sludges (sewage sludge, nightsoil/septage sludge) which has high security for medium- and long-term sludge utilization and disposal as the goal. It concludes that incineration and agricultural use should be implemented and operated in parallel as first priority options.

Microsatellite sequences converted to STS markers proved to be most successful. The relative abundance of microsatellite repeat sequences in the hop genome varied depending on the sequence class. Of the repeat types investigated the dinucleotide repeats (GA) sub(n) and (GT) sub(n) are the most highly represented in the hop genome. Microsatellite repeat sequences in hops have been shown to be highly polymorphic and are very informative as STS molecular markers.

A fully validated model represents a general rule which may be brought to bear on particular cases. For some microorganism/food combinations, sufficient confidence now exists to indicate substantial benefits to the food industry from use of predictive models. Several types of devices are available to monitor and record environmental conditions (particularly temperature). These "environmental histories" can be interpreted, using predictive models, in terms of microbial proliferation. The current challenge is to provide systems for the collection and interpretation of environmental information which combine ease of use, reliability, and security, providing the industrial user with the ability to make informed and precise decisions regarding the quality and safety of foods. Many specific applications for predictive modeling can be developed from a basis of understanding the inherent qualities of a fully validated model. These include increased precision and confidence in predictions based on accumulation of quantitative data, objective and rapid assessment of the effect of environmental conditions on microbial proliferation, and flexibility in monitoring the relative contribution of component parts of processing, distribution, and storage systems for assurance of shelf life and safety.

In this study, 25 isolates of herpes simplex virus representing a broad spectrum of acyclovir-susceptible and -resistant phenotypes were tested using a microplate in situ enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (MISE). This method is objective and more rapid than the traditional plaque reduction assay (PRA). The previously derived PRA results were not known at the time of testing with the MISE method. The correlation coefficient between PRA and MISE was 0.85. Agreement on sensitive or resistant was reached for 21 of 25 isolates. The standardised microplate in situ ELISA was found to be an acceptable alternative to the plaque reduction assay.

Rainforests, in which Ceratopetalum apetalum D.Don and Doryphora sassafras Endl. are the dominant tree species, occur on slopes of southerly aspect and along gully bottoms, whereas eucalypt forests, dominated by Eucalyptus maculata Hook., occur on upper slopes of northerly aspect and on ridge tops. Whether transpiration rates of trees differed across the rainforest-eucalypt forest boundary on north and south facing aspects was tested by measuring stem sap flow in trees in a single catchment during winter, summer and autumn. Differences in transpiration rate by trees in these stands were due to various combinations of biological and physical factors. Firstly, mean maximum transpiration rate per tree (crown area basis) was greater in rainforest on the gully bottom where deep soil water from down-slope drainage was greater than in eucalypt forest located upslope on the northern aspect. By contrast, there was no difference between maximum transpiration rates in rainforest and eucalypt forest on the southern aspect. Variation in transpiration rate between seasons was not related to variation in surface soil moisture content (<0.35 m depth). Secondly, transpiration rates per unit crown area in rainforest at the gully bottom were associated with higher leaf area indices than upslope on the northern aspect. However, in rainforest upslope on the southern aspect, higher transpiration rates were not associated with higher leaf area indices. Thirdly, trees in eucalypt forest maintained similar sapwood moisture contents in summer as in winter and autumn, whereas sapwood moisture contents declined in rainforest trees in summer, suggesting that eucalypts had access to water from deep within the soil profile which was unavailable to more shallow rooting rainforest trees. Fourthly, higher modal and maximal sap velocities in eucalypt trees were partly due to wider xylem vessels and resulted in faster maximum sap flow and greater daily total water use in all seasons on both aspects than in rainforest species. Finally, as atmospheric demand for water increased from winter to summer, transpiration rates were mediated by stomatal closure as indicated by lower average midday shoot conductance to water vapour during summer than other seasons. The interaction between microenvironment, which determines water availability, and physiological attributes, which determine tree water acquisition and use, may contribute to the differential distribution of rainforest and eucalypt forest with aspect in south-eastern Australia.

The two seasonal peaks in fish larvae abundance were related to (1) the spring/summer zooplankton increase that occurred after flooding of the estuary and was comprised predominantly of copepod nauplii, thereby providing a good prey field for very young fish larvae, and (2) the autumn zooplankton maxima, which would provide a wide selection of copepod stages and meroplankton and promote dietary partitioning and flexibility among older larval stages. The two peaks in fish larvae abundance occurred well before and well after the attainment of maximum water temperature in the estuary. Goby, gudgeon, estuary perch and anchovy larvae were in the plankton over an extended period coinciding with the more stable conditions of salt-wedge presence and maximum zooplankton densities. The spawning of black bream and anchovies in the estuary was clearly related to physical conditions, such as salinity and water temperature, and habitat-although spawning of both species also occurred at times of high concentrations of potential prey organisms for their larvae. Adults of all the above fish species appear to have evolved spawning strategies that are adapted to the average hydrological and biological conditions in the estuary that would lead to the enhanced survival of their larvae. With the exception of the black bream, it appears that a ubiquitous and prolonged rather than a synchronous and confined spawning strategy is more widely used by estuarine-spawning fishes in the Hopkins River estuary. This type of spawning strategy, combined with the generally high density of food available to fish larvae in estuaries, suggests that the match-mismatch hypothesis of Cushing may be less relevant in the estuarine than in the marine environment.

The following two methods were used: DNA relatedness and phenotypic characterization. Analysis of the DNA relatedness data revealed that all of the strains studied were congeneric and that the genus Photorhabdus is, on the basis of DNA relatedness data, more homogeneous than the other genus of nematode-symbiotic bacteria, the genus Xenorhabdus. In contrast to previous reports, only two DNA relatedness groups were identified in the genus Photorhabdus. These groups corresponded to the symbiotic strains and the clinical strains. There appeared to be some subgroups within the symbiotic strain group on the basis of the interactions of the strains with nematodes, which corresponded to some extent with the DNA relatedness data. However, there were significant ambiguities in the DNA relatedness data, and this group could not be subdivided on the basis of DNA relatedness data or phenotypic data. The distinct functional differences within and between the DNA relatedness groups of symbiotic Photorhabdus strains indicated that there are biologically significant subgroups within the genus Photorhabdus that cannot be defined at this time. Further investigation of the taxonomy of Photorhabdus by using different approaches and a suitably wide range of strains is recommended. However, it is clear that the clinical strains form a recognizable subgroup within the genus even though no formal subtaxon can be defined at this time.

Under low-flow conditions, the non-conservative behaviour of dissolved radium in the estuary is almost entirely due to the flux of radium from estuarine bed sediments. Radium accumulates in bottom sediment porewater, and is then mixed with estuarine surface water, probably as a result of tidal action. It is shown experimentally that the enrichment of the short-lived isotopes ( super(224)Ra and super(223)Ra) relative to super(226)Ra in estuarine porewater can be explained by the repeated leaching of radium from bottom sediments by saline water, and the rapid regeneration of the short-lived isotope activity from their sediment-bound parent nuclides. The leaching of radium from bottom sediments is apparently occurring on a time scale which is long (weeks-months) compared with the super(224)Ra and super(223)Ra half-lives, indicating that the amount of ion-exchangeable radium adsorbed to the sediments is large compared with the amount dissolved in porewater. By applying a simple 2-D steady-state multi-box model, super(224)Ra and super(223)Ra surface water and porewater concentrations have been used to estimate the daily flux of porewater crossing the sediment-water interface in the Bega estuary. This flux is found to be about 15% of the estuary volume. JF - Earth and Planetary Science Letters AU - Hancock, G J AU - Murray, A S AD - CSIRO Div.

A low moi (1:1) resulted in recovery of significantly more L. monocytogenes when these bacteria were used to infect either cell line. At high moi (100:1), the percentage recovery of bacteria was comparatively low, even after extensive invasion and intracellular multiplication. Microscopic analysis of Giemsa- and immunofluorescent-stained infected monolayers revealed extensive cell disruption and exposure of the internalised bacteria to the bactericidal effect of gentamicin. By contrast, a low moi resulted in minimal cytopathic effects and evidence of cell to cell spread by L. monocytogenes was consistently observed in HeLa and J774, but not in Caco-2 cell lines. Nevertheless, the use of HeLa and Caco-2 cell monolayers enabled a clear distinction to be made between invasive (L. monocytogenes) and non-invasive Listeria spp. (L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. seeligeri, L. grayi, L. welshimeri and L. monocytogenes LLO19). The use of a low moi with HeLa cell monolayers provided a reliable tissue-culture model of infection for L. monocytogenes.

A package employing four dosimeters (polysulfone, nalidixic acid, 8-methoxypsoralen and phenothiazine) has been shown to be effective for use as a spectrum evaluator for evaluating the UVA source spectrum. In Brisbane, on a horizontal position, the spectrum evaluator requires about 5 min exposure in summer and about 20 min in winter. This amounts to about 10 mJ cm super(-2) of erythemal UV radiation.

Studies with the auxin-responsive promoter, GH3, in root gravitropism and lateral root development AN - 15752728; 3975996 AB - We report an improved method for white clover (Trifolium repens) transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. High efficiencies of transgenic plant production were achieved using cotyledons of imbibed mature seed. Transgenic plants were recovered routinely from over 50% of treated cotyledons. The bar gene and phosphinothricin selection was shown to be a more effective selection system than nptII (kanamycin selection) or aadA (spectinomycin selection). White clover was transformed with the soybean auxin responsive promoter, GH3, fused to the GUS gene ( beta -glucuronidase) to study the involvement of auxin in root development. Analysis of 12 independent transgenic plants showed that the location and pattern of GUS expression was consistent but the levels of expression varied. The level of GH3:GUS expression in untreated plants was enhanced specifically by auxin-treatment but the pattern of expression was not altered. Expression of the GH3:GUS fusion was not enhanced by other phytohormones. A consistent GUS expression pattern was evident in untreated plants presumably in response to endogenous auxin or to differences in auxin sensitivity in various clover tissues. In untreated plants, the pattern of GH3:GUS expression was consistent with physiological responses which are regarded as being auxin-mediated. For the first time it is shown that localised spots of GH3:GUS activity occurred in root cortical tissue opposite the sites where lateral roots subsequently were initiated. Newly formed lateral roots grew towards and through these islands of GH3:GUS expression, implying the importance of auxin in controlling lateral root development. Similarly, it is demonstrated for the first time that gravistimulated roots developed a rapid (within 1 h) induction of GH3:GUS activity in tissues on the non-elongating side of the responding root and this induction occurred concurrently with root curvature. These transgenic plants could be useful tools in determining the physiological and biochemical changes that occur during auxin-mediated responses.

The options considered are drip or flood irrigation, and the constraints are holding drainage water on farm in an evaporation basin or discharging it to the surface drainage system (at a cost to the farmer). Over a 15-year period, drip irrigation was found to be the most financially attractive method of drainage management when discharge of saline drainage water incurs a charge, and also under an on-farm retention constraint. This was subject to the size of the basin being at least 6.5% for the drip system and 10% for the flood system. Drip irrigation is relatively expensive to install, but its running costs, including labour and water costs, are considerably lower. On-farm storage is a more costly option than paying for discharge. All options become more profitable as vineyard area increases. JF - CSIRO, DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES, GPO BOX 1666, CANBERRA ACT 2601 (AUSTRALIA). 1996.

However, little attention has been paid to the location of a penguin colony (aside from some Antarctic colonies, such as Emperor Penguins Aptenodytes forsteri), its distance from the water and consequent extra energetic cost to breeding penguins. At Macquarie Island, Royal Penguin Eudyptes schlegeli colonies are found at a variety of altitudes from sea level, to sites approximately 200m above sea level (e.g. at Caroline Cove). The added energetic burden of colonies located away from the beach is yet to be assessed. Taking into account the number of times that an individual penguin needs to return to its nest over a breeding season, the distance and altitude of a colony from the water could substantially increase the total energetic cost of breeding, and possibly affect the breeding success of individuals. It was with this question in mind that we monitored the time taken for Royal Penguins to travel to an inland colony. From the shortest and longest time taken by Royal Penguins to reach the colony, we attempted to assess some of the factors which might affect the variation in time taken. These data were used to calculate a hypothetical energetic cost to the penguins due to the location of this colony and to assess whether location might impact on breeding success.

Changes in primary production due to dredging and marina construction AN - 15749277; 3976876 AB - Potential impacts on primary production were estimated for an 800-slip marina previously planned for Davids Island, located in the extreme western portion of Long Island Sound, New York. Macroalgal and microalgal production in the area of the proposed marina was analyzed on the basis of six depth zones ranging from an existing seawall (at about +2.2 m MLW) seaward to a depth of -2.4 m MLW. Productivity measurements were based on in situ super(14)C uptake studies, chlorophyll a determinations, and varying light exposures within the euphotic zone that were the result of turbidity and semidiurnal tides. The surface area of each depth zone was multipled by the corresponding estimate of daily production calculated for eight dominant macroalgae and microalgae, and summed to estimate existing production in the proposed marina. Similarly, post-construction production was estimated by applying the calculated daily production to the appropriate areas of hard substrate (breakwater, pilings, etc.) in the euphotic zone. Pre- and post-construction macroalgal production values were 50,608 and 42,152 g C/d, respectively. This represents a 17% reduction in macroalgal production. It should be noted, however, that production on the seafloor of the marina was not accounted for. Consequently, reductions in macroalgal production that might occur are likely overestimated. Microalgal production constituted less than 3% of total primary production in the nearshore areas of Davids Island. The pre- and post-construction microalgal production values were 1,542 and 743 g C/d, respectively. This represents a 48% reduction in microalgal production in unconsolidated sediment. However, microalgal production would likely occur on hard substrates in the marina. Overall, pre- and post-construction estimates of primary production were remarkably similar, suggesting that production on hard substrates in the marina would compensate for lost production from deepening of the nearshore zone during construction.

Although fecundity of this univoltine insect was low (35.4 eggs/female), survival was relatively high, with 45% of eggs reaching adulthood when protected from predators and parasitoids, and 23% surviving when exposed to these natural enemies. Other mortality factors of importance for immature stages were a failure to establish, due largely to oviposition by females on inappropriate sites on the thistle capitula, and inter- and intraspecific competition for larval resources. Once emerged, adult losses due to overwintering mortality and net migration were estimated at a further 48%. Despite these losses there was a net doubling of the population at the study site between Onopordum flowering seasons. The data suggest that movement of adults occurs both within and between patches and that variability in population size relative to the resource base is low. Overall, L. latus may be considered a K-strategist which forms relatively stable populations over a fragmented habitat and which maintains its population integrity through a certain degree of annual redistribution. The implications of these data for the potential effectiveness of L. latus as a biological control agent of weedy Onopordum spp. are discussed. JF - Oecologia AU - Briese, D T AD - CSIRO Div.

The success of the technique at different sites depends on the selection of the FILTER design and operational practices to suit the on-site soil and hydrological conditions. Computer management systems based on optimisation techniques could assist wastewater managers to design and operate FILTER plots efficiently. Based on preliminary field trial results from a FILTER plot at Griffith City Council sewerage works, phosphorus balance was identified as the main factor in minimising FILTER area, which would in turn reduce capital costs. A dynamic programming model was therefore developed to determine the minimum area for maintaining phosphorus balance on FILTER plots. Here, the model formulation and preliminary analysis of the model output are presented. The minimum area required to maintain phosphorus balance for the modelled site conditions at the Griffith site is 116 ha. However, if only the crop rotations that maximise phosphorus uptake were used on all irrigation blocks, the area could be reduced to 86 ha. Data analysis shows that if the total phosphorus uptake capacity of the crops grown in 6 cropping phases exceeds 290 kg/ha, the area required is not constrained by the phosphorus uptake capacity but by the maximum hydraulic loading rate in the winter phase.

Where the difference in magnetic grain size between upstream and sidestream sediments is small, the use of parameter cross plots or bulked magnetic ratios is generally not appropriate and the use of mass (concentration) magnetic values may be better. A difference between the methods is that cross plots require a wide range of mass magnetic concentrations in each branch (with the upstream and side stream sediments having different magnetic grain sizes), whereas the mass values procedure does best with a very limited (but different) range of concentrations at the upstream and side stream branches, but with similar magnetic grain sizes. For the cross plots in particular, the most appropriate magnetic parameters are likely to be different for different particle sizes. Examination of certain magnetic ratios indicates magnetic grain size and, consequently, the most appropriate parameters to use in the cross plots. The downstream trends in sediment magnetics in the Queanbeyan River very clearly reflected the change from the granitic lithology of the upper area to the sedimentary lithology further downstream; this showed up as changes in magnetic grain size and in magnetics/particle size relationships. Because the lithology of the whole Molonglo catchment is sedimentary, the major downstream trends were changes in concentration of magnetic minerals; that is, the magnetic grain sizes and magnetics/particle size relationships showed no consistent downstream changes.

Particle-tracking techniques, using advecting massless point particles, are commonly used in such circumstances. This report describes the development and application of two tools based on such particle-tracking techniques. The first, PTRACK, is a simple Eulerian particle-tracking code designed to handle input velocity distributions calculated by standard finite-difference codes. The second, STREAMv2.0, is a superset of PTRACK with built-in logic for locating dividing streamsurfaces and storing their geometries in ASCII form for later imaging/rendering. Whereas each tool is written to handle specific input and output file formats, the modular nature of the code ensures that the task of altering the code to handle new formats is small. Applications of the two tools are discussed and results are presented. JF - CSIRO, DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES, GPO BOX 1666, CANBERRA ACT 2601 (AUSTRALIA). 1996.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Oviposition choice by the Onopordum capitulum weevil Larinus latus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and its effect on the survival of immature stages AN - 15741220; 3975099 AB - Female Larinus latus lay eggs into the capitula of their Onopordum spp. host plants from the onset of capitulum development until the completion of flowering. This tight linkage between insect life-history and plant development optimised larval survival, apart from some initial asynchrony between the readiness of the females to oviposit and the suitability of the very small capitula to physically support eggs. Eggs were laid on bracts and stems of capitula or directly in the florets, when these became available. Both the location of the egg and time of oviposition influenced mortality factors such as egg and larval parasitism, egg desiccation and larval establishment. Overall, survival of eggs laid later in the season into florets was higher, although the adults that emerged were smaller. The change in choice of oviposition site that occurs at the onset of flowering, not only favours survival, but ensures more efficient resource use by the larvae. This occurs because sequential flowering of Onopordum spp. drives a sequential oviposition pattern and spreads the egg load more evenly over the available capitula, reversing a trend earlier in the season to clump eggs that were laid directly on the bracts. Other potential constraints, such as capitulum size, absolute egg density and previous egg-laying do not play a major role in determining the oviposition pattern of L. latus. Larval survival was positively correlated with capitulum size and not strongly influenced by egg density. Competition for resources only appeared to play a role in smaller capitula, and manifested itself in a reduction in the size of emerging adults rather than the death of immatures. In the absence of strong interspecific competition, the oviposition behavior of L. latus has become geared to maximising resource use for larvae (i.e. its own potential competitiveness) rather than minimising interactions with other members of the capitulum endophage guild.

There has been concern about the effects on workers of a selective solvent used in degreasing electrical equipment, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (FC 113). However, this compound has not been investigated for effects on bile acid transport. Therefore we undertook the present study to examine the direct in vitro effects of FC 113 on uptake and efflux of bile acids by isolated rat hepatocytes. FC 113, at non-cytotoxic doses after a 20-min equilibration time, showed significant (P < 0.05) inhibitory effects on the initial rate of uptake of taurocholate (TC), whereas accumulation of TC over an extended incubation time was not affected. Kinetic analysis revealed a non-competitive inhibition of TC uptake as evidenced by a decline in V sub(max) and an unaltered K sub(m). The initial rate of efflux of TC and the continuous efflux of this model substrate from preloaded cells incubated with different doses of solvent were not significantly different from those of controls. However, the highest dose of solvent inhibited the process of efflux at the early time points. The data suggest that FC 113 interferes with bile acid transport in a reversible manner similar to that of the chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons. It would be expected, therefore, that this solvent would cause an increase in serum bile acids in exposed workers.

Frustules from six indicator groups; Pinnularia microstauron, Nitzschia cylindrus, Nitzschia curta, Eucampia antarctica, a freshwater Stauroneis species and several centric species in a sediment core were used to determine the sequence of the lake's evolution. The history of the lake falls into five stages. Ace Lake began as a marine inlet influenced by dynamic mixing of ocean and meltwater inputs. As the ice sheet retreated, isostatic uplift isolated the lake allowing it to be flushed by meltwater input from the retreating ice sheet. Over the course of 800 years ( similar to 9200-8400 super(14)C yr B.P.) the lake became meromictic supporting a freshwater diatom assemblage. Approximately 6700 years ago, coinciding with Antarctic sea level maxima, diatom assemblages indicate that seawater flooded over the sill into Ace Lake disturbing the freshwater meromixis. The sediments in this period were laminated and contained elemental sulphur suggesting that the marine input was limited in extent and energy. Approximately 5500 years ago this marine input ceased and the lake again became a meromictic basin which stabilised over 1700 years to become the lake that it is today and has been with little change for about the past 4000 years.

Victoria University of Technology, together with support from Melbourne Water and the Department of Health and Community Services, has been investigating the practicalities, costs and social attitudes of using greywater in and around the home. Four "typical" Melbourne homes were selected and plumbed to utilize greywater for toilet flushing and garden irrigation. Social surveys were conducted by mail and phone to homeowners to determine perceived attitudes towards greywater reuse. Greywater from baths, showers, laundry troughs and washing machines is being examined for physical, chemical and microbiological parameters to determine the potential health and environmental risks associated with reuse. Soil tests were also undertaken on gardens to determine any long-term detrimental effects that might occur as a result of using greywater. This paper describes the greywater testing, results of filtration and filter designs, appropriate disinfectants, and physical findings to date. The two-year project is due for completion early in 1995.

The optimum temperature and pH required for growth were 30 degree C and pH 5.5, respectively. In batch culture the productivity and overall cell yield were 0.31 g L super(-1) h super(-1) and 0.23 g cells g super(-1) sugar, respectively, on glucose syrup and 0.22 g L super(-1) h super(-1) and 0.18 g cells g super(-1) sugar, respectively, on molasses. In fed-batch cultivation, a productivity of 3.12 g L super(-1) h super(-1) and an overall cell yield of 0.52 g cells g super(-1) sugar were achieved in glucose syrup cultivation and a productivity of 2.33 g L super(-1) h super(-1) and an overall cell yield of 0.46 g cells g super(-1) sugar were achieved in molasses cultivation by controlling the reducing sugar concentration at its optimum level obtained from the fermentation model. By using an on-line ethanol sensor combined with a porous Teflon registered tubing method in automating the feeding of substrate in the fed-batch culture, a productivity of 2.15 g L super(-1) h super(-1) with a yield of 0.47 g cells g super(-1) sugar was achieved using glucose syrup as substrate when ethanol concentration was kept at a constant level by automatic control.

The highest dose of 5 beta -scymnol remained hepatoprotective when administered 4 hr after the APAP overdose. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is protective against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity at 250 and 500 mg/kg (ip) when administered up to 3 hr after APAP overdose, as shown by a significant reduction in serum enzyme activity. Coadministration of 5 beta -scymnol (70 mg/kg) and NAC (250 mg/kg) also reduced serum enzyme levels and histopathological effects; however, a similar level of hepatoprotection was conferred by 5 beta -scymnol treatment alone. In addition, 5 beta -scymnol has potent hydroxyl radical quenching activity as it markedly inhibited deoxyribose degradation in a ferrous/ascorbate Fenton reaction system.

As a result, regulatory agencies and researchers have developed specific approaches for evaluating exposures from indirect pathways. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the effect of uncertainty and variation in exposure parameters on the resulting estimates of TCDD dose rates received by individuals indirectly exposed to incinerator emissions through the consumption of home-grown beef. The assessment uses a nested Monte Carlo model that separately characterizes uncertainty and variation in dose rate estimates. Uncertainty resulting from limited data on the fate and transport of TCDD are evaluated, and variations in estimated dose rates in the exposed population that result from location-specific parameters and individuals' behaviors are characterized. The analysis indicates that lifetime average daily dose rates for individuals living within 10 km of a hypothetical incinerator range over three orders of magnitude. In contrast, the uncertainty in the dose rate distribution appears to vary by less than one order of magnitude, based on the sources of uncertainty included in this analysis. Current guidance for predicting exposures from indirect exposure pathways was found to overestimate the intakes for typical and high-end individuals.

AN - 15674890; 3957906 AB - Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterial plant pathogen, when transformed with plasmid constructs containing greater than unit length DNA of tomato leaf curl geminivirus accumulates viral replicative form DNAs indistinguishable from those produced in infected plants. The accumulation of the viral DNA species depends on the presence of two origins of replication in the DNA constructs and is drastically reduced by introducing mutations into the viral replication-associated protein (Rep or C1) ORF, indicating that an active viral replication process is occurring in the bacterial cell. The accumulation of these vital DNA species is not affected by mutations or deletions in the other viral open reading frames. The observation that geminivirus DNA replication functions are supported by the bacterial cellular machinery provides evidence for the theory that these circular single-stranded DNA viruses have evolved from prokaryotic episomal replicons.

Even after careful adjustment, the range in soil moisture among the results from the 14 schemes compared for the HAPEX-MOBILHY (S. France) site's 1.6 m soil layer remains around 100 mm (the annual precipitation for HAPEX-MOBILHY being 856 mm). Results show that the partitioning of surface available energy into sensible and latent heat fluxes is closely coupled to the partition of precipitation into evaporation and runoff plus drainage. Runoff seems to be grossly (30-40%) underestimated by 13 of the 14 participating schemes but incomplete observations do not allow a full evaluation. Runoff from the nearly saturated soil outside the main growing season differs significantly among landsurface schemes although these differences do not greatly affect soil moisture values themselves. Transpiration operates at different rates depending upon the initial soil water content as well as the scheme formulation. The implications are far-reaching: (1) landsurface schemes forced by the same atmospheric conditions reached different equilibrium states; and (2) response times differ for schemes with different structures and different parameterizations. In combination, these two conclusions mean that observational data limited to a few weeks or months cannot be used for validation unless the initial conditions are known very precisely. Soil moisture remains an ill-defined, and inconsistently and, generally, inaccurately predicted quantity. JF - Global and Planetary Change AU - Henderson-Sellers, A AD - Royal Melbourne Inst.

Thirty sex-reversed all male Nile tilapia (23g plus or minus 0.7) were stocked in 1 m3 netcages suspended in an earthen pond fertilized weekly with urea and triple super phosphate at rates of 4 kg N and 1 kg P ha -1, respectively. The fish were fed experimental diets supplemented with a complete mineral premix (control) and with incomplete mineral premixes in which specific macro (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K) and micro-minerals (Fe, Zn, Mn, I) were omitted from the mineral premix. Among the minerals studied, the addition of phosphorus was found to significantly affect tilapia weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and protein efficiency ratio.

Soil moisture is of critical importance to the physical processes governing energy and water exchanges at the land/air boundary. Soil moisture controls the extent to which plants can exploit sunlight in photosynthesis and the effectiveness with which agriculture, forestry and freshwater resources can be developed. The importance of the soil moisture to many, diverse communities has resulted in a very large collection of numerical models all of which simulate soil moisture. This paper outlines why and how a series of soil moisture simulation intercomparisons were conducted in a one-year exercise jointly sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme and the World Climate Research Programme.

Naranbagh) from the Kashmir Himalaya were compared. Variations in the phytoplankton communities in the water-bodies were both quantitative and qualitative. Liberty Dam conformed to the oligotrophic-desmid plankton type whilst in L. Naranbagh, phytoplankton resembled the eutrophic chlorococcales-diatom plankton type. Contrary to the general belief of muted (or lack of) seasonal changes in tropical regions, phytoplankton succession in the Jos reservoir was pronounced with dense persistence of some species for relatively short periods. The most striking fluctuations, typical of many temperate waters, were characteristic of L. Naranbagh with a build-up of plankton during summer and autumn. Variability in photosynthetic productivity was related to shifts in the climate-dependent population densities. The seasonal growth of the Jos phytoplankton reflected the alteration from the dry 'Harmattan' (December-February) to wetter (May-September) periods. These are analogous to the winter (December-February) and summer (June-August) seasons of the Kashmir Himalayan Valley. Phytoplankton associations and periodicities in each of the two warm-belt lakes were strongly driven by their respective local environments, including especially the marked seasonality of the climatic variables (rain, wind and solar radiation). Detailed comparisons of adequate long-term data from tropical and temperate waters are still required. JF - Journal of Tropical Ecology AU - Khan, MA AD - Ecol. Res. Lab., Dep. Botany, Univ.

On the basis of these data it was concluded that the decline in black box health at Chowilla is due to water stress, ultimately resulting from the regulation of the River Murray. A more detailed study quantified black box health and structure at seven sites on the floodplain, and provided an initial insight into the causes of the variation. The sites included a range of black box health states and landform types. A site supporting E. camaldulensis (river red gum), another common eucalypt on the floodplain, was included for comparison with the black box. On a point scale of 4 (dead) to 20 (healthy), black box health varied from 4 to 16. The healthier black box communities were classified as closed forests, with the less healthy being woodlands or, where trees were dead, grasslands. Relationships were found between health and environmental characteristics such as soil chloride concentration, soil osmotic and matric suction, groundwater salinity, and pre-dawn leaf water potential, suggesting that high soil salinities present on the floodplain are affecting tree health by increasing the soil water suction and causing water stress in the trees. The causes of variation in health may be more complex, however, as health and soil salinity were also related to site elevation, which determines the frequency of inundation by flood waters. The now lower incidence of flooding, combined with higher water tables, has resulted in the disturbance of the delicate salt balance which exists in floodplain soils. Less flooding has caused accumulation of salt in soil profile which results in water stress due to osmotic effects and lower water availability. Our results can be used to aid in the prediction of the likely impacts of proposed salinity mitigation schemes for Chowilla. We conclude that groundwater pumping may have positive effects on vegetation health by improving groundwater quality, but these may take several decades to occur. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

This model was used to simulate density-dependent saline groundwater flow in a semi-confined aquifer and was employed to investigate the stream-aquifer interaction near the River Murray and Slaney and Punkah Creeks on the Chowilla floodplain before and after a major flood. Evapotranspiration and recharge during a flood have been incorporated into the numerical model. Simulation of a proposed salinity-mitigation scheme has been modelled in cross-section by incorporating various management options. Simulations show that Slaney Creek near the River Murray is relatively fresh, carrying substantially less salt than Punkah Creek, which lies in the middle of the floodplain. Time-dependent boundary conditions have been used to simulate rising and falling heads in the river and creeks during the flood. This has shown that salt load increases five-fold to Punkah Creek and three-fold to Slaney Creek immediately after a flood recedes. The peak salt load to the creeks occurs immediately after the flood recedes and subsequently declines over a 6-month period to the baseline salt load. The effect of pumping on the floodplain has also been simulated and, in the case of the proposed interception scheme, we predict a drawdown of 0.2 m at the outer edges of the floodplain to 1.5 m at well sites.

Most (74%) of the Chowilla floodplain lies in South Australia with the rest (26%) located in New South Wales. The floodplain is a complex system with many vegetation associations, soil types, and geomorphic features including wetlands of a variety of forms and origins. The Chowilla region is the last remaining region of natural riverine forest in the lower River Murray and has a high conservation value (O'Malley and Sheldon 1990; CWG 1992). It provides habitat for many species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish, and contains magnificent stands of river red gums. The anabranch region is a part of 'Riverland Wetlands' listed under the UNESCO Ramsar Convention (Section 14.5) as wetlands of international importance (NEC 1988) because of its unique bird life and Eucalyptus camaldulensis and E. largiflorens forests and woodlands. The Chowilla floodplain is also thought to be an important native fish breeding area and is a popular tourist region, with fishing and canoeing being prominent activities (NEC 1988).

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between exposure to one medium, television, and body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness. Questionnaires were administered to 94 adolescent women who reported how much and what television they had watched in the previous week. Body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness were also assessed. Amount of television watched did not correlate with either body dissatisfaction or drive for thinness, but category of program did. Specifically, amount of time spent watching soaps, movies, and (negatively) sport predicted body dissatisfaction, and the watching of music videos predicted drive for thinness.

Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal emerged as a second aetiologic agent of cholera in Dhaka in January 1993. In 1993, the majority of cholera cases was due to V. cholerae O139, with V. cholerae O1 accounting for a small proportion of cases. During the latter part of the study period (Jan 1994-May 1995), V. cholerae O1 re-emerged as the predominant cholera strain. The predominant age group affected in endemic cholera due to V. cholerae O1 was children 2-9 years old, and the organism was isolated from more females than from males at all ages. In contrast, cholera due to V. cholerae O139 caused disease mostly in adults 15 years and older, which indicated that this organism was new in this population. As with V. cholerae O1, V. cholerae O139 was isolated from more females than males. The initial rapid emergence and predominance of V. cholerae O139 was considered possibly to herald the start of the eighth pandemic of cholera. However, just after a year, the prevalence of V. cholerae O139 decreased dramatically with V. cholerae O1 resuming the role of the dominant cholera strain. The factor(s) contributing to the dramatic decline in prevalence of V. cholerae O139 is not well understood. JF - Epidemiology and infection.

It was assumed that: (i) initially, the profile was virtually dry and salt-free to some depth; (ii) both water and solutes move upwards from the water table by piston flow due only to plant water extraction; (iii) the uptake of water concentrates solutes in the soil solution until some threshold salinity is reached, above which plants can no longer extract water due to osmotic effects; (iv) uptake of the groundwater does not affect the water table level; and (v) uptake of groundwater is not limited by 'evaporative demand'. Model predictions were compared with measurements of groundwater uptake made over 15 months at five sites in Eucalyptus forest in a semi-arid area. Depth and salinity of groundwater and soil type varied greatly between sites. Predicted groundwater uptake rates were within similar to 0.1 mm/day of measured values. The agreement between model predictions and measurements implies that groundwater depth and salinity were the main controls on uptake of groundwater at these sites. The model shows that uptake of groundwater can result in salinisation of the soil profile, within 4-30 yr at the sites studied, unless salts are leached from the soil by rainfall or flood waters. However, a relatively small amount of annual leaching may be sufficient to allow groundwater uptake to continue. Thus groundwaters, even when saline, may be important sources of water to plants in arid and semi-arid areas. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

Firstly, water of known isotopic composition was extracted from stems of Eucalyptus seedlings by azeotropic distillation using three solvents (hexane, toluene and kerosene) in laboratory and glasshouse experiments. Kerosene and toluene, gave the most accurate extractions, with a small negative bias ( similar to -2ppt for delta super(2)H and similar to -0.4ppt for delta super(18)O) due to incomplete extraction. This bias was not evident in further experiments, using kerosene, where water was extracted from stems and roots that had been pre-treated in a manner that more closely reflected field conditions. Secondly, variation in delta super(2)H in trees was investigated in the field to determine an accurate and convenient place for sampling. There was no significant difference in delta super(2)H between water extracted from trunk sapwood and whole twigs, even twigs close to leaves, in samples taken from four Eucalyptus spp. at two field sites. The results mean that the most convenient part of the tree can be sampled. Also, there was little difference in delta super(2)H between sapwood and heartwood samples, although small increases ( similar to 2ppt) in delta super(2)H were observed in bark of trunks and twigs. Tree roots (15-25 mm diameter) had similar delta super(2)H values to the surrounding soil in many cases, especially surface (<0.2 m depth) roots, rather than having delta super(2)H values similar to twigs of the trees. These roots were absorbing water from surrounding soil, but not contributing significant quantities of water to the tree canopy. Thus the delta super(2)H of root water is not a good indicator of the isotopic composition of water in the upper parts of Eucalyptus trees. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

Data on water table elevation, groundwater chemistry, and unsaturated zone salt storage were collected before, during, and after a flood in 1990 which inundated all but the very highest points of the floodplain. These data, combined with analytical modelling of the water table behaviour throughout the flood, lead us to conclude that diffuse vertical recharge of floodwater to the unsaturated zone is of little importance. As a consequence, only limited leaching of salt from this zone to the groundwater occurs. This appears to be due to a reduction in the infiltration capacity of the sodic clay surface soils of the floodplain which disperse and swell when wetted with the low-salinity floodwater. This suggests that the unsaturated zone is not the major source of salt which enters the River Murray following floods. However, from previous studies it is clear that the floodplain is an important source of saline groundwater which is added to the river following floods. An alternative hypothesis to explain the observed salt accessions is that areas of the floodplain where the Coonambidgal Clay is thin or absent are zones of localised recharge which cause displacement of in situ groundwater into the floodplain streams. This hypothesis should be tested in further work. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

This partitioning was achieved by identifying the source of the transpired water with naturally occurring stable isotopes of water. Transpiration rates were low, being similar to 0.3 mm/day from three E. largiflorens sites and up to 2 mm/day from an E. camaldulensis site. There was no significant variation in transpiration across seasons, indicating that transpiration was limited by environmental factors other than evaporative demand. Despite its salinity (electrical conductivities of 11-33 dS/m), the groundwater was used by the forests at all sites and all times, comprising 100% of transpiration in more than half of the measurements, and 40-80% in the remainder. There was some consistency in water uptake patterns. E. camaldulensis tended to take up shallow soil water and groundwater simultaneously, as did trees at one of the E. largiflorens sites. At the driest sampling time, however, groundwater was the only source of water for trees at both these sites. Trees at the remaining two E. largiflorens sites generally relied solely on the groundwater. The tree-water source results indicate that groundwater discharge fluxes were between 40 and 100% of the transpiration fluxes at these sites. These groundwater discharge fluxes were small in terms of regional groundwater balances, but would be important in salinisation of soils. Additionally, uptake of water from the soil profile by the trees substantially increased groundwater discharge compared with discharge from soils bare of vegetation. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

Comparison of the chemistry of the unconfined alluvial aquifer with that of the regional unconfined Pliocene Sands and of the confined Murray Group limestone aquifers shows that the groundwater in the first aquifer is mostly derived from the second aquifer and that less than 10% is derived from upward leakage from the third group. This is consistent with earlier estimates based on hydrogeology and groundwater modelling. Within the alluvial sand aquifer, the groundwater is diluted by stream recharge, mainly caused by the River Murray being held high by Lock 6 and by flood recharge from creeks with good hydraulic connection. There is no evidence that the chemistry of the shallow alluvial aquifer is affected by groundwater discharge due to evapotranspiration. JF - WATER RESOUR. SER. 1996.

S91 AN - 15650641; 3945805 AB - Characterisation of two genes in Pseudomonas sp. S91 that are responsive to carbon dioxide is reported. These were identified by random transposon mutagenesis leading to fusion of the Escherichia coli lacZ reporter gene to the genes of interest. Expression of the genes' promoters was quantified by measuring the reporter gene product, beta -galactosidase. beta -Galactosidase synthesis was induced when cells were exposed to 10% CO sub(2) on solid media or during growth in aqueous phase when the culture density was greater than 1 at 610 nm, in either rich or minimal media. Induction of beta -galactosidase synthesis was not due to: increased alkalinity, onset of stationary phase, build up of soluble metabolites in the culture supernatant, or cell density-dependent signalling. The CO sub(2)-inducible gene fusions were not induced by other environmental conditions that are known to stimulate global regulators of environmental gene expression. Benzoic acid (2 mM) induced beta -galactosidase synthesis in one of the mutants indicating the CO sub(2) response may involve the intracellular CO sub(2) partial pressure/bicarbonate ion concentration/pH equilibrium.

The sensitivity and efficiency of the DNA extraction methods were assessed by a multiplex PCR which detected the members of the genus Mycobacterium and differentiated between M. intracellulare, M. tuberculosis, and M. avium isolates with a limit of detection of between 0.28 pg (67 cells) and 120 pg (28,571 cells) of standard mycobacterial DNA. The PCR amplified mycobacterial DNA prepared by the AH procedure from 40 acid-fast bacillus-positive blood cultures with growth index values of >20 U but not from 48 blood cultures with growth index values of <21 U. The AH method was about 10 times more sensitive than the NI method for extracting DNA from 13 acid-fast bacillus-positive BACTEC fluid samples for PCR analysis. The study shows that the AH procedure in combination with the multiplex PCR is a simple, specific, and sensitive method which can be used in the routine diagnostic laboratory to detect and identify different members of the genus Mycobacterium in blood culture fluid samples from AIDS patients.

Thresholds for irritation were measured on the forearm and cheek using a psychophysical method that combines a bilateral, forced-choice detection task with an intensity scaling task. Experiment 1 showed that thresholds on the cheek were higher than on the forearm for both chemicals; on average, thresholds were much lower for capsaicin than for menthol; there were large individual differences in thresholds for both chemicals on both sites; and capsaicin and menthol produced different qualities of sensation. In contrast to earlier findings, capsaicin failed to produce itching on either site. Experiment 2 showed that itching could be evoked on the forearm, but not the face, when capsaicin was applied in a single dose rather than in an ascending concentrations series, as it had been in experiment 1. It was hypothesized that the absence of itching in experiment 1 was due to a more rapid desensitization for itching compared to burning and stinging, and that the lack of itching on the cheek may reflect different chemosensory innervation on facial and forearm skin. Overall, the results demonstrate that psychophysical measurements can provide information about regional and individual differences in the susceptibility to sensory irritation from contact with environmental chemicals.

Plots were established in exposed parent material in the open zone and along the edge of a landslide. Within each plot, control and treatments of nitrogen, phosphorus, and N + P were randomly assigned to subplots. Addition of N produced increases in total soil N, ammonium, and nitrate in the open plots, but not in the edge plots. Addition of P produced increases in extractable P in both sets of plots. Biomass of the pioneer species responded significantly to both N and P. Biomass of the nonpioneer species responded only to added N. The effect of location (open vs. edge) on growth was variable. For the pioneer species, the concentration of foliar P was increased by P fertilization, but foliar N did not increase significantly in response to fertilization. For the non-pioneer species, both foliar N and P increased in response to fertilization by N and P, respectively. Light-saturated photosynthetic rate (A sub(max)) of C. schreberiana increased in response to N fertilization in the open plots. In contrast, photosynthesis of P. riparia and M. bidentata in the open plots was unaffected by fertilization. A sub(max) of P. rivinoides was also unaffected, but sample sizes were very small due to mortality from an outbreak of lepidopteran larvae. There was no effect of fertilization on photoinhibition as assayed by chlorophyll fluorescence. P. riparia may have experienced moderate photoinhibition in the open zone, as shown by reduced growth as well as reduced ratios of variable to maximum fluorescence. Availability of nitrogen appeared to limit growth of pioneer and nonpioneer species on the landslide. Availability of phosphorus appeared to limit growth of pioneer species, perhaps because they were nonmycorrhizal (P. rivinoides) or weakly facultatively mycorrhizal (C. schreberiana). Neither pioneer nor nonpioneer species appeared to be particularly well adapted to colonize exposed parent material, for growth was very slow in the absence of added nutrients.

Commercial concentrates of malathion (Cythion ULV super(TM)) and permethrin (Biomist 4 + 12 super(TM)) were sprayed using a truck-mounted ULV aerosol generator. Sod-grass blocks (0.18 m super(2)) were placed in the frontyard and backyard of homes in the neighborhood at 4 distances to 91.4 m from the road where applications were made. Grass samples were taken from the sod blocks before application and at 15 min, 12 h, 24 h, and 36 h after application. Samples were extracted with solvent, and extractions were subjected to gas-liquid chromatography for detection of malathion and permethrin. Ranges of detection for malathion were 0.0-16.6 mg/0.18 m super(2) and for permethrin were 0.0-25.9 mg/0.18 m super(2). Most detections were from samples taken nearest the road at 15 min after application. Detections declined as a logarithmic function of time after application and as an exponential function of distance from the road.

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether heavy levels of social drinking have an adverse effect on sober cognitive functioning in young nonalcoholic adults. Method: Event-related potentials (ERPS) were recorded from heavy (>200 gm/week) and light (<20 gm/week) male social drinkers under the effects of a pharmacological challenge (lorazepam-ATIVAN) and a placebo. The heavy (n = 14) and light (n = 14) social drinkers completed a free-recall task with a rare word probability of .30. Results: Analysis of the P300 component of the ERP to recalled and not-recalled words found that P300 amplitude in heavy social drinkers (HSDs) was reduced following placebo compared to the light social drinkers (LSDs). Lorazepam produced a distinctive pattern of anterograde memory deficits in both groups and reduced P300 amplitude to rare words in the LSDs compared to both the placebo treatment and the HSDs. Conclusions: The differences in central nervous system functioning evident between HSDs and LSDs were reflected in ERP deviations in both the presence and absence of lorazepam. Even though no definite statements can be made because of the small sample size, the results appear to indicate that HSDs have an impairment in their information-processing ability in the absence of an acute inhibitory agent (e.g., alcohol or a benzodiazepine) as well as a differential response to the depressant effects of lorazepam.

At high lake levels there is a pronounced mounding effect which tends to cause localised perturbation of flow systems and recharge into the uppermost aquifer. Three hydrostratigraphic units (referred to as 'Lower', 'Middle' and 'Upper') are identified beneath the lakes. An upward hydraulic gradient exists in the region under the present hydrologic regime. Despite this, hydrochemical and isotopic evidence has demonstrated a fresh water lens beneath Reedy Lake in the Middle and Lower aquifers. These waters have similar characteristics to the present-day water table which is being recharged from the lakes, suggesting that the lens represents lake-water recharge under a prior hydrologic regime when regional water tables were lower. The recognition of this lens has important implications for future management strategies in that it may be possible to implement a more natural wetting-drying cycle without the intrusion of saline water into this ecologically sensitive area.

Both a mature and developing convective cell are well sampled. The vertical motions within the mature cell are dominated by the effect of glaciation and a convective downdraft feeding a cold pool. The strong updrafts are accompanied by supercooled water as much as 2 km above the freezing level. The two cells are separated by a narrow region of deep descent. The developing cell has a low-level maximum in upward motion coinciding with high radar reflectivity below 3 km, suggesting warm rain processes. There is a large transition region with deep descent and a stratiform region with a classic up- and downdraft circulation. The precipitation characteristics show the aggregation of ice particles as they descend in the stratiform region. Over half of the rain is seen to evaporate between 4 and 2 km. The cooling implied by this and the heating by the growth of ice particulates above the melting level balance the mesoscale circulation in the stratiform region. The Q sub(1) heating profile is consistent with previous studies above 4 km but shows a net cooling below this. This may in part be due to the storm being sampled when the system was mature with extensive convective downdrafts.

The cis ternary complex is dissociated (half-life of similar to 15 s) by trans-sided ATP hydrolysis, which triggers release of GroES. For the substrate protein rhodanese, only similar to 15% of cis-localized molecules attain their native form before hydrolysis. A major question concerning the GroEL mechanism is whether both native and non-native forms are released from the cis complex. Here we address this question using a "cis-only" mixed-ring GroEL complex that binds polypeptide and GroES on only one of its two rings. This complex mediates refolding of rhodanese but, as with wild-type GroEL, renaturation is quenched by addition of mutant GroEL "traps", which bind but do not release polypeptide substrate. This indicates that non-native forms are released from the cis complex. Quenching of refolding by traps was also observed under physiological conditions, both in undiluted Xenopus oocyte extract and in intact oocytes. We conclude that release of non-native forms from GroEL in vivo allows a kinetic partitioning among various chaperones and proteolytic components, which determines both the conformation and lifetime of a protein.

The inheritance of these morphs appears to be controlled by two alleles at a single autosomal locus, with red dominant to grey. Both morphs show seasonal changes in dorsal reflectance. They show similar reflectance patterns in winter, whereas in summer red animals become less reflectant, grey animals become more reflectant. Populations in northern and eastern Australia contain predominantly red snakes, whereas southern populations consist of mostly grey snakes. Selection for crypsis through substrata colour matching may be important in maintaining the polymorphism. JF - Journal of Zoology AU - Johnston, G AD - Sch. Biol. Sci., Flinders Univ., G.P.O.

AN - 15610300; 3928601 AB - A gene encoding a sulphur-rich, sunflower seed albumin (23% cysteine plus methionine) was modified to contain the promoter for the 35S RNA of cauliflower mosaic virus, in order to obtain leaf expression in transgenic plants. In addition, a sequence encoding an endoplasmic reticulum-retention signal was added to the 3' end of the coding region so as to stabilize the protein by diverting it away from the vacuole. The modified gene was introduced into subterranean clover (T. subterraneum L.) and its expression was detected by northern and western blots and by immunogold localization. The albumin was accumulated in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, and, among six independent, transformed lines, it accumulated in the leaves of T sub(0) transgenic plants at varying levels up to 0.3% of the total extractable protein. The level of accumulation of the sunflower albumin increased with increasing leaf age, and in the older leaves of the most highly expressing plants of the T sub(1) generation it reached 1.3% of total extractable protein. Expression of the SSA gene was stable in the first and second generation progeny. These results indicate that there is potential for significantly improving the nutritional value of subterranean clover for ruminant animals such as sheep by expressing genes that code for sulphur-rich, rumen-stable proteins in leaves.

It is expressed in cotyledons, stem of seedlings, roots, young leaves, and in some cells in the nodules that are associated with the nitrogen-fixing Bradyrhizobium symbiont. This contrasts with the expression of the leghemoglobins, which are active only in the infected cells of the nodules. The deduced protein sequence of the new gene show only 58% similarity to one of the soybean leghemoglobins, but 85-87% similarity to hemoglobins from the nonlegumes Parasponia, Casuarina, and barley. The pattern of expression and the gene sequence indicate that this new gene in a nonsymbiotic legume hemoglobin. The finding of this gene in legumes and similar genes in other species strengthens our previous suggestion that genomes of all plants contain hemoglobin genes. The specialized leghemoglobin gene family may have arisen from a preexisting nonsymbiotic hemoglobin by gene duplication.

Rainbands were observed by a Doppler weather radar and a 50-MHz wind profiler for over 24 h. The principal bands were seen to be organized on two distinct scales. Bands of stratiform precipitation formed at a radius of about 100 km from the center of the storm and moved outward at about 6 m s super(-1). These decayed after they moved past Darwin over land. A distinct midlevel jet extended along the bands. Within the bands, convective lines formed at regular intervals, propagated against and outward with respect to the mean flow, and acted as a partial barrier to the radial inflow. Deep, active convection was confined to these lines. The vertical motion in the convection showed a distinct acceleration above the freezing level with measured updrafts of up to 10 m s super(-1). The convection elevated the tropopause height over the rainband. It is hypothesized that an inertia-gravity wave propagating from near the storm eye was responsible for triggering the convection within the lines. This hypothesis, although difficult to test, accounts for the propagation characteristics of the convective lines and offers an explanation of why similar features have not been seen in more intense storms.

Experiment 1 was conducted in cement tanks with five levels of P saturation in the sediments (5, 24, 44, 60 and 79%) and with three P fertilization rates (0.2, 0.1 and 0.05 g m-3 day-1, N:P ratios of 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1, respectively). Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were cultured in the tanks for 57 days. Results showed that the mean concentration of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) in the water column increased with increasing sediment P saturation and P fertilization rate. The maximum net fish yield (NFY), 4.2 plus or minus 0.3 g m-3 day-1, was obtained at an SRP concentration of 0.3 mg l-1; higher concentrations did not increase fish yield. These levels of SRP and NFY were attainable with P fertilization rates of 0.2 g m-3 day-1, 0.1 g m-3 day-1 and 0.05 g m-3 day-1 and N:P ratios of 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 in ponds where the level of sediment P saturation was below 10%, above 45% and above 60%, respectively. Experiment 2 was conducted in earthen ponds to test and verify the P fertilization rate based on the cement tank results. Three new and three old ponds with 8 plus or minus 1.7% and 88 plus or minus 7.3% sediment P saturated in the top 5 cm of mud were fertilized at a rate of 0.2 g m-3 day-1 and 0.05 g m-3 day-1 and N:P ratio of 2:1 and 8:1, respectively. Nile tilapia were cultured at a density of two fish m-3 for 85 days. The mean NFY obtained in new and old ponds were 1.73 plus or minus 0.08 g m-3 day-1 and 2.24 plus or minus 0.32 g m-3 day-1, respectively, which were not significantly different (P>0.05). We conclude that P fertilization rate should be based on P saturation level in mud to overcome the problem of under or over supply of P in fish ponds.

Sicala 34) was grown at 352 ('low CO sub(2)') or 710 ('high CO sub(2)') mu L L super(-1) atmospheric CO sub(2) in continuously wet soil, or in drying soil, or in drying soil re-wetted after plant wilting. In wet soil, the approximately 15% reduction in transpiration per unit leaf area owing to high CO sub(2) was only half that for other species, whereas effects on growth and leaf area were relatively larger. Consequently, water use per plant was 45-50% higher for high CO sub(2) plants in contrast to other species for which the rate of water use is either the same or lower in high CO sub(2). Greater plant water use early in a drying cycle caused the soil to dry faster under high CO sub(2) than under low CO sub(2). The addition of the consequential greater water stress at high CO sub(2) in drying soil to the direct CO sub(2) effect on stomata caused the transpiration rate of high CO sub(2) plants to fall by up to 60% as the soil dried relative to plants drying at low CO sub(2). After re-wetting the dry soil, the reduction in transpiration rate at high CO sub(2) returned within hours to the value of 15% seen in wet soil. The results were inconsistent with the idea that water deficits increase the sensitivity of stomatal aperture to CO sub(2). Other consequences of drier soil under high CO sub(2) compared with low CO sub(2) were: (a) unlike in many other species, in cotton, the relative growth enhancement by high CO sub(2) is not higher under drying soil compared with wet soil owing to the opposite effect on soil water content; and (b) the increased water-use efficiency in drying soil relative to wet soil was greater in high CO sub(2) plants than in low CO sub(2). The confounding of indirect effects of soil water with the direct CO sub(2) effects may explain the wide variability of literature reports about CO sub(2) effects on stomatal conductance and water use.

A GC method was developed and used to simultaneously determine diether lipid and PLFA content in the same GC run. The key features of the method were a slow (1 degree C/min) temperature ramp through the fatty acid region of the chromatogram followed by a high temperature ramp where the diether lipid eluted. Using this method on both pure bacterial cultures and aquatic sediments, resolution was achieved of the diether lipid and the PLFA, including novel C16 and C18 monounsaturated fatty acids derived from methanotrophs.

Many studies have shown that the sum of the resistances in the plant and the soil is too small to account for the fall in water pressure between the leaf xylem and the soil, especially when plants are growing in sandy soils, which are prone to dry rapidly. A resistance at the root-soil interface, caused possibly by poor contact between the roots and the soil, has been proposed to account for the discrepancy. We explored the resistance in the pathway from soil to leaf using a technique that allows precise and continuous non-destructive measurement of the hydrostatic pressure in the leaf xylem. When the soil was leached with water, the fall in leaf water status as the soil dried was reasonably well described by a simple physical model without the need to invoke an interfacial resistance. However, when the soil was flushed with a nutrient solution with an osmotic pressure of 70kPa, the hydrostatic pressure in the leaf xylem fell several times faster than that in the soil. We suggest that solutes accumulated either in the root or just outside it, creating large osmotic pressures, which gave the appearance of an interfacial resistance.

Reports vary between no response to strong response. To explore the origin of this discrepancy, spaced plants of maize (Zea mays) were grown at atmospheric CO sub(2) concentrations of 362 or 717 mu L L super(-1) under continuously wet or drying soil regimes. The aims were to evaluate the comparative growth promotion from elevated CO sub(2) in a C sub(4) plant under the two contrasting water regimes and the causes of any such promotion, and also how water-use efficiency (WUE) is influenced by high CO sub(2) under the two water regimes. In wet soil, transpiration rate was reduced on average by 29% at high CO sub(2) but neither total dry matter nor plant height was significantly affected by CO sub(2) level. Leaf area was not influenced significantly, so daily water use per plant was 25% lower and WUE was increased entirely due to reduced water use at high CO sub(2). In soil that was drying from field capacity, plants in high CO sub(2) used about 30% less water than those in ambient CO sub(2) while the soil was still wet. This resulted in higher soil water content at high CO sub(2). Plant growth showed a marked response, accumulating 35% more leaf area and 50% more dry matter. Young internodes elongated up to 170% more, giving taller plants. The growth enhancement was largely due to higher average net assimilation rate indicating that C sub(4) photosynthesis responded to elevated CO sub(2) during drought. In drying soil the increase in WUE was due to both increased dry matter and reduced water use, the contribution from each depending on the stage of soil drying. We hypothesise therefore that literature examples where maize growth responded to elevated CO sub(2) may have involved (possibly unrecognised) minor water deficits.

In general, these researchers have modeled long-term exposures using simple dose rate equations which assume that individuals are exposed to a single environmental concentration at a constant rate over a specified exposure duration. This paper presents an alternative approach for modeling long-term average exposures called microexposure event modeling which addresses a number of shortcomings in traditional dose rate equations. The paper discusses the limitations of the traditional dose rate equation, presents a description of the methodology, and illustrates advantages of the approach with a case study.

Both lead to simple similarity solutions. One modification gives upper bounds on the time-scales of the process and the other lower bounds. The bounds are close enough to allow estimation of true behaviour within order-of-magnitude accuracy. Application of the solutions to brine-fresh interactions is illustrated by a numerical example based on natural salinas. The analysis applies to any pollutant or pollution solution denser than the groundwater, and it carries over to the converse problem of the spreading over the groundwater of a lighter pollutant (such as petroleum).

The Cd doses ranged 7.545 mu mol/kg body weight. Results indicated that the transgenic mice exhibited dramatically increased steady-state levels of MT-I mRNA and MT in the testes and in the female reproductive tract during pregnancy. Exposure to 10 mu mol Cd/kg caused rapid changes in the histology of the testes and resulted in pronounced testicular necrosis in both groups. Injection of Cd after female transgenic and control mice were mated resulted in reduced pregnancy rate and no protection by overexpression of MT.

The workers regularly used cutting oils that had been previously analyzed for nitrite and NDELA content and mutagenicity. Urine samples were collected and analyzed for mutagenicity and for concentrations of NDELA, thioethers, and D-glucaric acid, while blood was analyzed for sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes. Results indicated the presence of NDELA in the urine samples from workers exposed to cutting fluids with NDELA concentrations of at least 5 mg/l, showing that the contaminant was adsorbed by humans. The increase in thioethers, but not in D-glucaric acid, suggested that NDELA compounds were detoxified by reacting with endogenous glutathione more than through glucuronidation. Urinary mutagenicity assay and lymphocyte sister chromatid exchanges did not appear to be relevant for biomonitoring NDELA exposure.

Children (N = 14) with aphasia, seizure, & a severely abnormal EEG were treated by multiple subpial transection of the epileptogenic cortex. Seven Ss have recovered age-appropriate speech, are in regular classes, & no longer require speech therapy. Four Ss have shown marked improvement, are speaking & understanding verbal instruction, but still receive speech therapy. Thus, 11 of 14 Ss (79%), none of whom had used language to communicate for at least 2 years, are now speaking. The success of the treatment depends on selection of patients with severe epileptogenic abnormality that can be demonstrated to be unilateral in origin despite a bilateral electrographic manifestation. 5 Tables, 15 Figures, 83 References.

In addition the study aimed to compare Upward Bound, one prominent federally funded program, with others around the nation. Only the largest programs (based on funding) at each institution were included in the survey. Data were collected from two-year and four-year institutions in the fall of 1994. Of the 850 institutions surveyed, 813 responded. Highlights of the findings included: (1) 32 percent of all institutions offered at least one program for precollegiate students, and programs were especially common at large institutions and public institutions; (2) the largest programs served 317,400 students and involved 9,600 faculty and staff; (3) of the students in the largest programs, 68 percent were from low-income families, 59 percent were female, 39 percent were black, and 29 percent were Hispanic; (4) Upward Bound programs were more likely to have their students start in the freshman or sophomore years, were more intensive than other programs (with students spending a mean of 433 hours over the full year compared with 166 hours for other programs), and made greater use of reduced-price college courses. Appendixes contain tables of standard error and the survey questionnaire.

AN - 62667650; ED394238 AB - This report presents detailed tables on the medical expenditures of people, from young children to older adults, who are limited in activity or who need assistance in activities of daily living. It uses data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditures Survey and compares these with 1993 estimates. Tables of results are presented on: (1) total and per capita medical expenditures by type of expenditure, activity limitation status, gender, age, sociodemographic characteristics, self-reported health status, and work disability status; and (2) sources of payment for medical expenditures by age group, activity limitation status, and sociodemographic characteristics. Highlights include: 17 percent of the non-institutionalized population are limited in activity and account for 47 percent of total medical care expenditures; 11 percent of these individuals have expenditures of $10,000 or greater; total per capita expenditures are over four times greater for people with activity limitations than for people with no limitations; people limited in activity represent 38 percent of hospitalized persons and 57 percent of expenditures for hospitalization; per capita medical expenditures for white children with activity limitation are nearly twice those for black children; and 4 percent of the non-institutionalized population requires assistance in activities of daily living. An appendix provides standard error data.

A Critical Appraisal of Developments in Addictions Programs for Indigenous North Americans and Australians AN - 61503908; 9607304 AB - The value of culture in the treatment of addictions among indigenous peoples, particularly Native Americans & Canadians & the Australian Aborigines, is examined. The use of culture in treatment for addiction has emerged from indigenous understandings of the etiology of drug & alcohol abuse, which emphasize the impact of the disruption of cultural practices & dispossession resulting from colonialization. A return to cultural wholeness can serve as a preventive, or even curing, agent for addictive behavior. Culture as treatment carries the danger that certain aspects of culture -- eg, the drunken Indian -- will serve to foster abuse rather than prevent it. Culture as treatment will be most effective when it facilitates formation of peer groups that disvalue drug & alcohol use. 78 References. Adapted from the source document.

This counterproductive regulation is explained by the combined forces of bad science (which has a tendency to overgeneralize & intervene at inappropriate times), poor planning & politics, & failures in the implementation of regulatory programs. Examples of regulations gone awry include automobile emission standards that may encourage people to retain their older, less environmental cars & the potential for a stigmatizing backlash against affirmative action programs. To reduce the risk of counterproductive regulation, it is argued that skepticism should be norm, negative by-products of regulation must be recognized, & quick fixes must be avoided. 70 References.

AN - 21260888; 11701729 AB - The Great Lakes basin is of radiologic interest due to the large population within its boundaries that may be exposed to various sources of ionizing radiation. Specific radionuclides of interest in the basin arising from natural and artificial sources include 3H, 14C, 90Sr, 129I, 131I, 137Cs, 222Rn, 226Ra, 235U, 238U, 239Pu, and 241Am. The greatest contribution to total radiation exposure is the natural background radiation that provides an average dose of about 2.6 mSv/year to all basin residents. Global fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted before 1963 has resulted in the largest input of anthropogenic radioactivity into the lakes. Of increasing importance is the radionuclide input from the various components of the nuclear fuel cycle. Although the dose from these activities is currently very low, it is expected to increase if there is continued growth of the nuclear industry. In spite of strict regulations on design and operation of nuclear power facilities, the potential exists for a serious accident as a result of the large inventories of radionuclides contained in the reactor cores; however, these risks are several orders of magnitude less than the risks from other natural and man-made hazards. An area of major priority over the next few decades will be the management of the substantial amounts of radioactive waste generated by nuclear fuel cycle activities. Based on derived risk coefficients, the theoretical incidence of fatal and weighted nonfatal cancers and hereditary defects in the basin's population, attributable to 50 years of exposure to natural background radiation, is conservatively estimated to be of the order of 3.4 x 10(5) cases. The total number of attributable health effects to the year 2050 from fallout radionuclides in the Great Lakes basin is of the order of 5.0 x 10(3). In contrast, estimates of attributable health effects from 50 years of exposure to current nuclear fuel cycle effluent in the basin are of the order of 2 x 10(2). Although these are hypothetical risks, they show that the radiologic impact of man-made sources is very small compared to the effects of normal background radiation.

AN - 21260235; 11703627 AB - 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and structurally similar halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons cause a broad range of immunologic effects in experimental animals including decreased host resistance to infectious disease and suppressed humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. In the mouse, TCDD immunotoxicity has been shown to be an aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor-dependent process. However, despite considerable research, the biochemical and molecular alterations that occur subsequent to Ah receptor activation that lead to altered immune reactivity remain to be elucidated. In addition to immune suppression, TCDD promotes inflammatory responses. This effect may result from an upregulation of the production of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor. Nonhuman primates exposed to TCDD show suppressed antibody responses and changes in lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood. The immunotoxic effects of TCDD in humans are poorly characterized, and few studies have examined the immune status of individuals with known, documented exposure to TCDD. It is important for laboratory research to focus on defining TCDD-sensitive immunologic biomarkers in animal models that can also be used in human subjects. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie species differences in TCDD immunotoxicity is also of critical importance for extrapolation of effects seen in laboratory animals to man.

AN - 21257801; 11704927 AB - There is ample evidence identifying lead, methylmercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as neurotoxic agents. A large body of data on the neurotoxicity of lead, based on both epidemiologic studies in children and animal models of developmental exposure, reveals that body burdens of lead typical of people in industrialized environments produce behavioral impairment. Methylmercury was identified as a neurotoxicant in both adults and the developing organism based on episodes of human poisoning: these effects have been replicated and extended in animals. High-dose PCB exposure was recognized as a developmental toxicant as a result of several episodes of contamination of cooking oil. The threshold for PCB neurotoxicity in humans is less clear, although research in animals suggests that relatively low-level exposure produces behavioral impairment and other toxic effects. Tissue levels in fish below which human health would not be adversely affected were estimated for methylmercury and PCBs based on calculated reference doses (RfDs) and estimated fish intake. Present levels in fish tissue in the Great Lakes exceed these levels for both neurotoxicants. Great Lakes fish and water do not pose a particular hazard for increased lead intake. However, the fact that the present human body burden is in a range at which functional deficits are probable suggests that efforts should be made to eliminate point sources of lead contamination in the Great Lakes basin.

AN - 21251463; 11703630 AB - The Great Lakes basin is characterized as a heavily populated and industrialized region in which a large number of environmental contaminants have been identified. Both the scientific community and the public have voiced concern that contaminants present in the Great Lakes may pose undue risk to human reproduction. Evidence from animal experiments, wildlife studies, and reports of occupational and accidental human exposures indicate that chemical contaminants can adversely affect reproduction. The purpose of this paper is to review the reproductive toxicity of some of the many contaminants known to be present in the Great Lakes. Since the number of chemicals present in the Great Lakes is far too great for each to be adequately reviewed here, discussion will be limited to those contaminants that have been identified in human serum, ovarian follicular fluid, and semen obtained from people residing in the Great Lakes region. It is concluded that a) the data at present is too limited to support the notion that reproduction, in the general population, has been impaired by exposure to chemicals present in the Great Lakes; b) the lack of data in some cases such as for hexachloroethane and 1,2,4-trichlobenzene does provide reason for concern and underscores the need for further research in this area; and c) the potential for a number of the compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT), to disrupt endocrine functions suggests that additive or synergistic effects of these compounds may already be causing adverse effects on reproduction in sensitive individuals, which needs to be explored.

Because of its diverse physiological capacities, the organism readily adapts to different environments. For example, the organism can grow over wide ranges of temperature (from refrigeration temperatures, typically 1 - 5 degree C, to 47 degree C or higher), salt concentration (0 to 10% NaCl), pH (5.2 to 9.6) and water activity (down to 0.92). One major habitat appears to be the gastrointestinal tract of warm blooded animals including domestic animals, birds and humans. The asymptomatic carrier rate in humans has been reported as 11.9% and 13.3% by Kampelmacher & van Noorle Jansen (1969). Human listeriosis is a rare disease and information on the etiology has emerged slowly. Not surprisingly, L. monocytogenes is found quite commonly in soil and fresh water habitats receiving runoff from land. JF - Food Australia AU - Garland, C D AD - Aquahealth, Univ.

The study progressed through four stages: (1) A dose-response experiment on the effects of endosulfan and esfenvalerate on the survival, growth, and reproduction of D. carinata at a single nonlimiting food level. (2) An experiment to investigate the effects of five different food concentrations on survival, growth, and reproduction of D. carinata at sublethal concentrations of endosulfan and esfenvalerate compared with nonexposed controls. (3) An experiment to investigate the effects of route of exposure (water, food-borne, or water + food-borne exposure) on the toxicity of endosulfan to D. carinata. (4) An experiment to investigate the effects of algal concentration on persistence of endosulfan in the water column and on the relative toxicity of the alpha and beta isomers and of endosulfan sulfate to D. carinata. In the first experiment all daphnids exposed to 500 ng/liter esfenvalerate died within 3 days. There was a significant effect of esfenvalerate on reproduction at 50 ng/liter by the second brood. Endosulfan did not cause significant mortality to daphnids but brood size was reduced at 320 mu g/liter. In the second experiment the toxicity of esfenvalerate increased significantly with decreasing food concentration. In contrast, the toxicity of endosulfan to D. carinata was greatest at the higher food concentrations. Direct water-borne exposure to endosulfan was the most toxic route of exposure and the presence of algae decreased toxicity of this pesticide. The total amount of endosulfan ( alpha + beta + endosulfan sulfate) persisting in the water column after 24 hr was greater at high food levels, suggesting that this may be one mechanism for increased toxicity at high food concentrations. The 48-hr LC sub(50)s of technical endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, alpha -endosulfan, beta -endosulfan, and a 50:50 mixture of alpha , and beta endosulfan were 478, 756, 249, 205, and 234 mu g/liter, respectively.

Eight clinics located near air pollution monitoring stations were screened for total visits and visits due to respiratory tract complaints. Multivariate stepwise regressions using sulfur dioxide, meteorological parameters, and flu epidemics as independent variables showed that respiratory complaints were almost always correlated with temperature, but less so with total visits. Most meteorological parameters, sulfur dioxide, and flu epidemics did not adequately explain the regressions. Ambient air pollution levels were within Israeli standards.

Recent spills of lagooned hog waste that caused severe contamination of rivers put the problem in the limelight. But chronic seepage from lagoons and runoff from fields where the lagoon liquids are sprayed, as well as odor problems from drifting spray, also are major problems. EPA has the authority to regulate livestock waste under the Clean Water Act, but generally leaves this to states. The response at the state level varies, from strong in Texas to weak standards and enforcement in North Carolina. The latter state has begun to pay more attention to the problem recently, and may develop new, more stringent regulations and zoning laws.

The impacts of this growing population on Earth's environment are debated. Pessimists say these numbers will trigger mass environmental destruction. Optimists believe that advances in technology and resource management will enable high populations to thrive. The issue has become increasingly subtle, as population and environment interactions become better understood. Examples of ecosystem losses, population growth outstripping natural water and forest regeneration rates, links between atmospheric pollutants and population sizes, and other population-related environmental problems are reviewed. The contributions of industrialization also are noted. In recent years, some outbreaks of war have been blamed on high population densities and limited natural resources. Some countries have instituted family planning or coerced family size controls to reduce their national fertility rates. Infringement of human rights by some forced policies has prompted more consideration of voluntary methods. Greater awareness of the links between population and environment would enhance acceptance of population controls.

Household dust and soil samples were collected in children's play areas from farm and nonfarm residences in eastern Washington State. Most farm residences were near apple orchards, where four organophosphorus (OP) pesticides were commonly used. Pesticide concentrations in household dust were significantly higher than in soil for all groups. OP levels for farm residences ranged from nondetectable to 930 ng/g in soil and from nondetectable to 17,000 ng/g in dust. Residues were found less frequently in nonfarm homes, and all levels in those homes were below 1000 ng/g. Children of agricultural families have a higher potential for exposure to OP pesticides than do children of nonfarm families in this area.

The US excise tax levied to accelerate the switch to new equipment that can use alternative refrigerants has created a large profit margin for those selling contraband CFCs. The Customs Service, the EPA, and the Internal Revenue Service have authority over CFC distribution, and each has introduced measure to counter the black market. Cases prosecuted thus far suggest the contraband CFCs originate in England, India, Russia, and China. A joint industry-government estimate placed the volume of contraband CFCs at about 40 million lb/yr, a significant amount of which is contaminated. CFC replacements developed so far have their own environmental problems. Alternative refrigeration technologies are being developed as well, such as Stirling cycle units and thermoacoustic refrigeration, but these will not be available soon. In the meantime, the war against CFC smuggling continues.

These studies are spurred by the difficult task of decontaminating hazardous waste sites. Phytoremediation is potentially cheaper than conventional treatment, and could speed up waste cleanup programs. This technology may leave the topsoil in usable condition, reducing the amount of material to be landfilled or incinerated. Direct human health benefits are another potential advantage. Drawbacks include risks to wildlife that may eat the plants, engineering of cleanup areas to prevent flooding or erosion, and the lengthy time required for cleanup. Phytoremediation studies are focusing on finding the best plants and genetically engineering plants to improve their ability to take up contaminants. Research shows that some plants may be able to break down contaminants to less harmful products. Examples of phytoremediation research are given.

Female rats were exposed to low doses of octylphenol or butyl benzyl during gestation, and male offspring were exposed during the first 21 days of postnatal life. These estrogens caused reduced testicular size and reduced daily sperm production in rats at adulthood, 70 days later. These responses may be due to a reduction in Sertoli cell numbers. Possible implications of these findings for explaining falling sperm counts in men exposed to environmental estrogens are discussed.

Public Use Data File [CD ROM.] AN - 62677219; ED391456 AB - This CD-ROM presents data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Studies (NPSAS) conducted in 1992-93, 1989-90, and 1986-87. Students who began their postsecondary education in 1989-90 were also surveyed in 1992 as part of the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study First Followup. The NPSAS is a comprehensive study that is examining how students and their families pay for postsecondary education. It includes nationally representative samples of undergraduates, graduates, and first-professional students, students attending less-than-two-year, two-year, four-year, and doctoral granting institutions. As a part of the 1993 NPSAS, information on more than 78,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at any time during the 1992-93 school year was collected at about 1,100 postsecondary institutions. The sample represents students enrolled at any time between July 1, 1992--June 30, 1993. Major educational policy issues to be addressed by information collected during the study include: (1) how and why students continue their enrollment in postsecondary education; (2) how postsecondary education is financed; (3) what courses are taken and what grades and credits are earned; (4) fields of study pursued; (5) patterns of student transfers between colleges; (6) extent and timing of program completion; (7) attainment of degrees, licenses, or certificates; and (8) impact of postsecondary education on subsequent life experiences. An introductory file explains how to install the CD-ROM, limitations of the study, cautions about comparing data from the different years of the study, and additional information and restrictions on using and analyzing the data.

Fiscal Years 1980 to 1995. AN - 62665229; ED392853 AB - This report attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of total federal financial support for education since fiscal year 1980. To the extent possible, outlays, or actual dollars spent, were used rather than obligations (spending commitments), with the exception of funds for academic research at institutions of higher education. Federal education funding is grouped into three categories: (1) on-budget support; (2) off-budget support; and (3) nonfederal funds generated by federal programs. Federal support for education, excluding estimated federal tax expenditures, was an estimated $100.1 billion in fiscal year (FY) 1995, an increase of $37.3 billion (in current dollars), or 59%, since FY 90. After adjustment for inflation, federal support for education increased 36.5% between FY 90 and FY 95. On-budget funds for 1995 were estimated to be $73.8 billion (in constant dollars). Off-budget funds and nonfederal funds generated by federal legislation were estimated at $26.2 billion, a rise of 135% in current dollars between FY 90 and FY 95. Between FY 80 and FY 95 federal on-budget funds for elementary and secondary education increased 18%, and postsecondary funds declined 14%. Other education funds increased 75%, and funds for research at institutions of higher education increased 48%. Six appendixes present detailed tables.

National Postsecondary Student Aid Study: 1992-93. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62660157; ED389241 AB - This study uses data from the 1992-93 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study to describe the financing of graduate and first-professional education. It begins with an essay on student borrowing that briefly profiles graduate and first-professional students and then examines the role of borrowing in financing graduate and first-professional education. The essay concludes that there are notable differences among degree programs and attendance patterns in the proportion of students who borrow and in the average amounts borrowed which reflect the length of programs, tuition and fees, and the varying amounts of grants and other aid received. Master's degree students were the least dependent on loans: about 10 percent of these borrowed in 1992-93. Forty percent of doctoral students had borrowed for an average cumulative debt of $19,300. First professional students, who pay the highest tuition, on average, and who are primarily full time, full year (77 percent), were the most dependent on loans. Of these 65 percent had borrowed an average of $38,900 by the time they graduated. The compendium of tables that follows the essay provides detailed data on student characteristics, types of financial aid awarded, sources of aid, and financing through family support and work. Each section of the compendium is prefaced by highlights summarizing the major findings related to the section's topic. Appendixes contain a glossary and technical notes and methodology information.

The data were collected from over 5,000 of the 5,775 4-year, 2-year, and public less-then-2-year postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. Included are tuition and fee charges to in-state and out-of-state students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with the costs for room and board, and the number of meals per week covered by the board charge. These charges are not weighted by enrollment. Included are several tables with national statistics on tuition and required fees at postsecondary institutions for academic year 1994-95 followed by tables showing charges at individual institutions and tuition and required fees for first-professional programs. A summary of the publication's statistics notes that the median charge at public 4-year institutions for tuition and fees was $2,445 for undergraduate, in-state students; that at public 2-year institutions tuition and required fees averaged $1,461 for in-state students; and that undergraduate tuition and fees at private, non-profit 4-year institutions averaged $8,967 for in-state undergraduate students.

AN - 21275693; 11701716 AB - Minority populations face a wide variety of economic, institutional, and cultural barriers to health care. These barriers and low levels of education and income pose significant challenges for health professionals in developing cancer research and prevention-control strategies. It is suggested that specific segments of Hispanic populations fit the model of an underdeveloped country in the intermediate stage of epidemiological transition. Since noncommunicable diseases have not yet fully emerged in some of these Hispanic population segments, the opportunity exists to apply primordial prevention strategies. Such campaigns would focus on dissuading members of these populations from adopting negative health behaviors while promoting positive lifestyle choices. Optimal programs would increase cancer screening participation and discourage risk behaviors through community-oriented, population-based interventions. Future directions in prevention and control efforts for minority populations should include expanded health insurance coverage, improved access to health care, greater emphasis on minority recruitment in health care fields, focused epidemiologic and clinical research, and identification and replication of effective components within existing prevention-control programs.

AN - 21263135; 11701722 AB - Ionizing radiation long has been recognized as a cause of cancer. Among environmental cancer risks, radiation is unique in the variety of organs and tissues that it can affect. Numerous epidemiological studies with good dosimetry provide the basis for cancer risk estimation, including quantitative information derived from observed dose-response relationships. The amount of cancer attributable to ionizing radiation is difficult to estimate, but numbers such as 1 to 3% have been suggested. Some radiation-induced cancers attributable to naturally occurring exposures, such as cosmic and terrestrial radiation, are not preventable. The major natural radiation exposure, radon, can often be reduced, especially in the home, but not entirely eliminated. Medical use of radiation constitutes the other main category of exposure; because of the importance of its benefits to one's health, the appropriate prevention strategy is to simply work to minimize exposures.

AN - 21260003; 11701718 AB - There has been increasing interest in the interaction of genetic susceptibility and xenobiotic exposures in cancer etiology. Study of gene-environment interactions may increase our ability to characterize relatively low population risks if a substantial proportion of the population cancer burden is attributed to high risk among a smaller group of genetically susceptible members. Further, these studies may provide insight into the mechanism of carcinogenesis, which can help establish the biologic plausibility of an exposure-cancer relationship. Biologic processes important in tumorigenesis that exhibit substantial interindividual differences may function as susceptibility factors. Potential examples include polymorphic enzymes, which activate and detoxify procarcinogens and carcinogens (e.g., certain P450 enzymes, N-acetyltransferase [NAT2], glutathione S-transferase M1), and variation in the capacity to repair DNA. Biologic assays are now available to evaluate many of these functions at the DNA and phenotype level and can be readily incorporated into studies of cancer etiology.

Opportunities exist for affecting cancer rates among women by studying and altering hormonal exposures and, possibly, alcohol consumption. The study of diet among ethnic groups may be more informative than among populations with homogeneous diets. The gender and racial differences among lung cancer patients related to tobacco need further research. Innovative multidisciplinary research is needed to reduce the ethnic, gender, and institutional barriers to ensure success in the fight against cancer.

AN - 21257395; 11703620 AB - Preventable environmental causes of cancer, including tobacco smoke and other carcinogens in the diet, workplace, and ambient environment are responsible for the vast majority of human cancers. This paper reviews recent molecular epidemiologic studies that have focused on environmental carcinogenesis and environment-host interactions. Biomarkers such as carcinogen-DNA and carcinogen-protein adducts, mutations in reporter or target genes (e.g., HPRT, GPA, ras, p53), or genetic or acquired susceptibility factors (e.g., polymorphisms in the P450 or glutathione-S-transferase genes and serum levels of antioxidants) have shown significant potential in prevention. They should be useful in early identification of at risk individuals and in designing and monitoring interventions (smoking cessation, exposure reduction, and chemoprevention).

AN - 21252445; 11701723 AB - Bacterial infections traditionally have not been considered major causes of cancer. Recently, however, bacteria have been linked to cancer by two mechanisms: induction of chronic inflammation and production of carcinogenic bacterial metabolites. The most specific example of the inflammatory mechanism of carcinogenesis is Helicobacter pylori infection. H. pylori has been epidemiologically linked to adenocarcinoma of the distal stomach by its propensity to cause lifelong inflammation. This inflammation is in turn thought to cause cancer by inducing cell proliferation and production of mutagenic free radicals and N-nitroso compounds. H. pylori is the first bacterium to be termed a definite cause of cancer in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Mutagenic bacterial metabolites are also suspected to increase risk for cancer. This model is best exemplified in colon cancer. Bile salt metabolites increase colonic cell proliferation. Exogenous compounds such as rutin may be metabolized into mutagens by resident colonic flora. Moreover, Bacteroides species can produce fecapentaenes, potent in vitro mutagens, in relatively high concentrations. In vivo data on human carcinogenesis by bacterial metabolites, however, are inconsistent. Local bacterial infections may also predispose to nonnodal lymphomas, although the mechanisms for this are unknown. Gastric lymphomas and immunoproliferative small intestinal disease have been most strongly linked to underlying bacterial infection. Because bacterial infections can be cured with antibiotics, identification of bacterial causes of malignancy could have important implications for cancer prevention.

AN - 21251459; 11701724 AB - Virus-associated human cancers provide unique opportunities for preventive strategies. The role of human papilloma viruses (HPV 16 and 18), hepatitis B virus (HBV), Epstein-Barr herpes virus (EBV), and retroviruses (human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] and human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus [HTLV]) in the development of common carcinomas and lymphomas represents a major cancer threat, particularly among individuals residing in developing countries, which account for 80% of the world's population. Even though these viruses are not the sole etiological agents of these cancers (as would be the case for infectious diseases), different approaches can be implemented to significantly decrease the incidence of virus-associated malignancies. The first approach is vaccination, which is available for HBV and possibly soon for EBV. The long delay between primary viral infection and development of associated tumors as well as the cost involved with administering vaccinations detracts from the feasibility of such an approach within developing countries. The second approach is to increase efforts to detect pre-cancerous lesions or early tumors using immunovirological means. This would allow early diagnosis and better treatment. The third strategy is linked to the existence of disease susceptibility genes, and suggests that counseling be provided for individuals carrying these genes to encourage them to modify their lifestyles and other conditions associated with increased cancer risks (predictive oncology). Specific recommendations include: a) increase international studies that explore the causes of the large variations in prevalence of common cancers throughout the world; b) conduct interdisciplinary studies involving laboratory investigation and social sciences, which may suggest hypotheses that may then be tested experimentally; and c) promote more preventive and health enhancement strategies in addition to curative and replacement therapies.

AN - 21249876; 11703623 AB - Research conducted during the last four decades has established that consumption of alcoholic beverages causes cancer. Etiologic research questions that remain relate to increases in risk at specific sites, the effects of various types of alcoholic beverages, the effect of various concentrations of alcohol, and the mechanism(s) of action, including possible interactions with other agents such as tobacco smoke. Prevention priorities for alcohol-related cancer depend on whether alcohol causes only the upper aerodigestive cancers or whether it also causes breast and possibly colon cancers. If alcohol causes aerodigestive cancers only, existing prevention programs to prevent alcohol abuse by heavy drinkers are sufficient. The possible small cancer risk faced by moderate drinkers may be more than offset by a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular death. On the other hand, if alcohol consumption increases the occurrence of breast cancer, a prevention program aimed at women who are at high risk for breast cancer is worth considering, but the risks must be weighed against the cardiovascular benefits for moderate drinkers.

High densities of Acartia tranteri were found in the innermost canals, and higher densities of cirripede nauplii were present in all canals compared with the bay area. It is suggested that these aggregations could be, localised, relatively rich foraging patches for zooplanktivorous larval and juvenile fish. In other respects zooplankton assemblages were similar, throughout all sites on each sampling occasion, indicating that tidal movements distribute most species to create a relatively homogenous assemblage of zooplankton in Raby Bay. Overall, the most abundant taxa were Acartia tranteri, Paracalanus crassirostris, Oithona spp., cirripede nauplii and gastropod veligers.

High chlorine consumption in the bleaching process resulted in a high specific discharge of adsorbable organic halogens (AOX), 4.7 kg/ton of air dried pulp (ADP), and polychlorinated phenolic compounds (31 g/ton ADP) in the effluent. The extractable organochlorine content in the accumulated fiber sludge of the sedimentation tank (70-100 mu g/g) was more than 100 times higher than the sediment from the receiving river. Chlorinated compounds including dioxins were detected at low levels in sediment and rice, crab, mollusc and fish samples. Significant amounts of the chlorinated persistent compounds are probably transported by the Red River to the river mouth and coastal area. Heavy metal content was high in sediment and mollusc samples from the receiving rice field and fish pond. There may be a possible risk for human intoxication of the metals through the aquatic food chain via the mollusc but not via the rice.

Another method for determining radon doses is being developed, and measures the radon daughters that have become embedded in household glass. However, plateout of radon daughters is impeded by the presence of smoke. Therefore, historical radon exposure could be underestimated in homes with a smoky environment, thereby confounding results, because subjects with a history of smoke exposure should have higher exposure to radon daughters than those without such exposure. The measuring devices, however, would not reflect the high exposure, since the smoke would impede radon daughter plateout.

In addition, sampling of environmental lead exposure was conducted, including measurement of levels in glazed ceramics; dust on floors, windows, and in the street; paint; water; and hand dirt on the children. Mean blood lead levels were 9.9 mu g/dl. Among children older than 18 months, 44% had blood lead levels above 10 mu g/dl. The environmental samples contained low levels of lead, except for glazed ceramics. This parameter was a major predictor of blood lead levels in subjects. Other predictors were exposure to lead from emissions from vehicles, and hand dirt lead levels. Reductions of lead in gasoline, and use of ceramics without lead would reduce lead exposure in the children of Mexico City.

For example, the costs of recycling in terms of money and expended energy may outweigh the benefits. However, it is generally agreed that recycling does prolong landfill life. The market for recyclables is quite variable, and although prices for recycled materials are up, the long-term outlook is for price declines. Quantification of environmental benefits from recycling are difficult to assess. Although paper recycling has been endorsed as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there is some controversy. The trees used to make paper are a renewable resource, but the fossil fuels expended to recycle paper are not and these fuels add to greenhouse gases. Burning of used paper for fuel may be one solution to the problem. Glass making using recycled glass presents a similar problem, since the new more efficient furnaces use less fossil fuels, but cannot handle as much recycled glass as the older furnaces that used more fossil fuels. Manufacturing with recycled material may also use more energy than using virgin raw material. The energy cost of shipping recyclable material to the manufacturing site must also be considered.

This function is abnormal in smokers, but the effect of exposure to sidestream tobacco smoke on NMC in nonsmokers has not been studied. Twelve volunteers were exposed one time each to air or sidestream smoke for one hour on two occasions that were at least one week apart. One hour after exposure ended, NMC was measured. Half the subjects had increased NMC after exposure to sidestream smoke. Clearance was elevated in three of the twelve subjects after exposure to air or sidestream smoke. NMC decreases were noted in three subjects with a history of rhinitis caused by exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Two subjects retained most of the radioactive tracer one hour after administration, which was two hours after exposure to sidestream smoke.

The linguistic pluralism of Australia is more extensive than that of the US, & it is suggested that an English-only amendment in the US seems unnecessary, though it appears to be gaining in popularity. Six bills & two dissenting resolutions currently before the 104th Congress that would make English official are characterized, & the English-only platform of several Republican presidential hopefuls is contrasted with the opinion of Republican TX Governor George W. Bush. The establishment of bilingual education is traced to the 1968 Title Seven legislation & the 1974 Lau v Nicholls case, & subsequent changes in US attitudes toward bilingual education are addressed. An Aug 1995 court case is detailed, in which a judge decried a mother's speaking Spanish to her child as abuse & required the mother to speak only in English. It is hoped that President Clinton may veto the proposed bills, despite his pro-English-only stance as AR governor. D.

AN - 62671260; ED392852 AB - This report profiles undergraduates enrolled in postsecondary education for the academic year 1992-93. It relies on data from the 1992-93 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, third in a series conducted by the Department of Education. The report begins with an essay that explores the extent to which undergraduates have outside responsibilities and enrollment patterns that increase their risk of not attaining a degree or postsecondary certificate. Following the essay, a compendium of tables provides comprehensive information about enrollment patterns, programs of study, student characteristics, financial aid receipt and employment, students' educational aspirations, and their community service participation. Not since the 1970s has the typical postsecondary student been a recent high school graduate enrolled full-time at a four-year school, and working toward a Bachelor's degree. On the contrary, such students represented only about one-third of undergraduates enrolled in 1992-93. The first section of the compendium contains detailed risk factor tables, and the remaining sections are marked to highlight topic findings. (Contains 9 text tables, 8 figures, and 58 tables in the compendium.) (SLD) AU - Horn, Laura J.

The information was provided by state education agencies about student membership, revenues, and expenditures. The 100 largest districts, representing fewer than 1% of the nation's school districts, serve about 23% of public school students and employ about 23% of public school teachers. Almost all of these districts encompass large cities, but only about half are confined to city limits. One-third of these districts are found in Florida, Texas, and California; and more than half of these large districts have minority enrollment of over 50%. In addition, schools in the 100 largest districts tend to be about 38% larger than the average American school. Information on school and student characteristics and school finances is presented in 10 basic tables.

AN - 62665533; ED392851 AB - Data from this report on sources of new teachers in the United States are from the 1987-88 and 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of the National Center for Education Statistics, a multilevel linked survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers. As fewer college graduates enter teaching, concerns have risen about possible teacher shortages. The SASS provides information to help in educational planning. In 1990-91, 177,000 teachers were newly hired in the nation's schools, an increase of 33% over 1988. These new hires accounted for 6% of the public teacher workforce and 13% of the private teacher workforce. Between 1988 and 1991 the sources of newly hired teachers shifted as both public and private schools hired relatively fewer reentrants, teachers returning after a break in service, and relatively more first-time teachers. First-time teachers represented about 53% of all public school new hires in 1991, with about 34% being newly prepared teachers and 19% being delayed entrants to teaching. Transfers from other teaching jobs supplied 16% of public and 22% of private new hires. (Contains 3 figures, 18 tables, and 22 references.) (SLD) AU - Rollefson, Mary R. AU - Broughman, Stephen P.

AFL-CIO Reviews the Issues. Report No. 84. AN - 62660821; ED388771 AB - In 1993, 10.4 million people were classified as being among the working poor. Of those individuals living in poverty, 2.4 million worked year round at full-time jobs and 7.4 million lived in a household containing someone who was employed full time throughout the year. A U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report identified low earnings, involuntary part-time work, and unemployment as three key reasons for poverty. Another study established that the percentage of workers with low earnings rose from 12% of all year-round, full-time civilian workers aged 16 or over in 1979 to 16% in 1992. Among the identified causes of the rise were the following: steady erosion of wages in the United States, unemployment and underemployment, rise of low-wage service jobs and parallel decline in well-paying manufacturing jobs, restructuring of industry, and decline of pension and health insurance coverage. Although there is no panacea for poverty or the working poor, the following policy measures would make a big difference: strengthen labor laws, adopt national policies aimed at preserving high-wage manufacturing jobs, increase the minimum wage, retain existing employment and training and safety-net programs, retain a progressive tax policy, and fund education adequately.

Analysis/Methodology Report. AN - 62657944; ED387884 AB - This document presents findings of a study that used a hedonic wage model to develop a national, geographical teacher cost index (TCI). The research sought to extend the analysis of teacher compensation to include not only variables that reflect the geographic cost-of-living, but also the amenities of the labor markets in which the public school districts are located. "Hedonic" considerations are those factors that attract workers to an area. The result was an estimated average teacher-salary cost index for each state and for regions in each state. The research drew on a sample of 40,484 public school teachers derived from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database for 1990-91. The study examined: (1) discretionary factors--the effects of teacher and job characteristics on patterns of variation in teacher salaries; (2) cost factors--the regional and school-district characteristics beyond local control; and (3) teacher cost differences by the type of school district. The TCI model was also compared with two alternative models. The data show a salary difference that favored males; some evidence points to lower salaries being paid to minorities of the same gender. Teachers with higher degree levels received higher salaries. Larger districts in more urbanized settings tended to pay higher teacher salaries for teachers with the same qualifications. The average TCI tended to be lowest in southern states and highest in northeastern states. Large urban school districts tended to have higher teacher costs. Finally, compensating differentials are necessary to attract teachers to remote regions. In conclusion, the TCI includes important factors beyond the costs of living that should be considered in examining how much more or less it costs to recruit and employ comparable teachers. Appended are technical notes; descriptive statistics and parameter estimates variables included in teacher salary regressions; and standard errors. Contains 48 references.

AN - 62655764; ED396898 AB - The Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space held a hearing in Billings, Montana, on rural America's access to the National Information Infrastructure (NII) and uses of NII in the provision of rural education and services. An Assistant Secretary of Commerce discussed the development of the Internet, problems in rural access to the Internet and other information technologies, a federal grant program that helps rural communities to gain such access, and the effects of deregulation on rural access. A researcher outlined the potential impact of technology on rural schools, including opportunities for new distance learning models, for new models of student learning, and for improving teacher development. A health services administrator described the Eastern Montana Telemedicine Network, which delivers specialist physician consultation through video conferencing, delivers mental health consultative services, offers continuing medical and higher education programming to rural communities, and provides community outreach and telebusiness opportunities to geographically isolated communities. The computer systems and telecommunications director at Salish Kootenai College discussed the problems of providing telecommunications technology to tribal colleges on American Indian reservations and related problems involving rural telephone cooperatives, inadequate telephone service, and obsolete laws governing the delivery of utility services. Representatives of communications companies discussed the potential role of NII in promoting rural development and delivering rural services, and the need for continued Congressional action to support telecommunications competition.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62655626; ED388607 AB - This report, based on findings from The Elementary Arts Education Survey, 1994, looks at information regarding the general questions: (1) What art subjects are being taught in public schools? (2) How do schools and districts support arts education? (3) How have schools' arts programs changed compared to 5 years ago. Survey responses indicate that the primary focus of public school arts education is music and visual arts, with music instruction receiving more commitment than visual arts. Creative writing is typically incorporated into the language arts curriculum. Dance instruction by a dance specialist is rare, and dramatic and theatre activities are most often used by classroom teachers to reinforce instruction in other subjects. Elementary students are receiving about the same amount of instruction time in music and visual arts, although classroom teachers are more likely to teach visual arts than music, which is taught predominantly by music specialists. Very little is being done to promote arts education through external resources. But school districts' commitment to keeping arts education in the mainstream of basic education is evidenced by allocation of funds to arts education; developing and providing curriculum guidelines in arts subjects; and by employing an arts curriculum coordinator. An examination of changes in terms of arts programs as compared to 5 years ago indicates that increases in instructional time, number of arts staff, allocation of supplies and materials, funds for teachers' classroom use, and use of museums, galleries, and performances are reported by 20 to 30 percent of the respondents. Forty-one percent of elementary schools and 62 percent of secondary schools reported increases in enrollment. About half of the schools reported an increase in the number of courses offered, while 39 percent reported that the number of courses had remained the same. Fifteen tables present survey data. The appendices present the following: "Survey Methodology and Data Reliability"; "Tables of Standard Errors"; and examples of survey forms.

McNair Paper 44. AN - 62557853; ED406567 AB - This report presents results of a study team's analysis of the extent to which International Military Education and Training (IMET) serves U.S. interests. It describes whether IMET has done the following: (1) facilitated access to senior military and political leaders and promoted communication between the United States and recipient countries; (2) provided an effective introduction to U.S. political values; (3) contributed to improving political-military relations in recipient countries; and (4) served as an important asset for interoperability in coalition peace and humanitarian assistance operations. The analysis of IMET's effectiveness is organized in five parts: the legislative roots of the program and its relationship to foreign military sales; the structure of IMET in FY 1995, emphasizing the importance of IMET's original synergy of English language training, a professional course of instruction conducted in the United States, and the Department of Defense's Informational Program; an assessment of the effectiveness of international military educational and training made possible by IMET and other funding options; contributions toward achieving regional stability, improving multilateral cooperative military relationships with the United States, and supporting U.S. diplomatic interests overseas and economic interests at home; and making a good program better. The report concludes that IMET is one of the few foreign-aid initiatives that Congress continues to consider relevant, useful, and worthy of funding. (Contains 68 notes.) (YLB) AU - Cope, John A.

This executive summary conveys the essence of the conference by combining its information into major themes rather than merely providing abstracts of the papers. Renowned educators were invited to present papers on issues within historical, theoretical, methodological, application, or policy perspectives. The six major themes identified in their presentations were: (1) multiple meanings and uses of standards; (2) methods of setting standards; (3) new directions and technical issues in setting standards; (4) fairness and validity in setting standards; (5) problems and controversies; and (6) areas of agreement in setting and using standards. The conference did not result in professional consensus on how standards ought to be set for large-scale assessments, but it did bring together many of the people most active in the field of standard setting, and it did promote an understanding of the multifacted issues involved in standard setting.

Their findings contradict those of other studies, & which show that IS workers in Bangkok receive higher incomes than other major groups in Thailand. The lack of IS demand for nonwelfare services suggests that IS workers in Bangkok are not as poor as frequently assumed. Questions remain about how services can reach the country's large population & whether the current decisionmakers in the public sector will implement the changes. S.

They fail to recognize the heterogeneity of slum dwellers & ambiguous distinction between the formal & informal sectors. While their assertion that vocational training would not adequately address the problems faced by unskilled migrant workers in urban slums due to lack of service utilization is accurate, it is concluded that Bangkok's urban poverty is not simply the result of lack of access to services; poverty alleviation should include the introduction of safety nets.

It is asserted that an overlapping of urban poor, slums, & the informal sector creates a multifaceted problem. An analysis of Bangkok's Seventh National Economic & Social Development Plan (1992-1996) & Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's welfare & nonwelfare services suggests that while access to services is limited, currently available services are rarely utilized anyway.

Additional studies will answer questions relevant to the molecular definition of the developmental or carcinogenic effects of estrogens such as hormone-induced gene alterations. These studies also support the need to use the neonatal mouse model to demonstrate the consequences of reproductive and nonreproductive stem-cell exposure to estrogenic compounds. Images Figure 2.

AN - 21264418; 11703617 AB - Estrogenic activity originating in unexpected places was encountered on three occasions during an investigation of whether Saccharomyces cerevisiae synthesized estrogens. In each instance, estradiol found in the conditioned yeast culture medium originated from an exogenous source and was not synthesized by the yeast. In the first instance, yeast grown in the laboratory showed a time-dependent increase in estradiol in the conditioned medium. However, the culture medium supplement Bacto-peptone was found to contain large amounts of estrone. When added to yeast cultures in the form of YPD medium (yeast extract, Bacto-peptone, and dextrose), S. cerevisiae converted the estrone to estradiol leading to the accumulation of estradiol over time. In the second instance, commercially purchased S. cerevisiae grown in a molasses medium exhibited substantial amounts of estradiol. However, corn and beet molasses contained sufficient estrone and estradiol to account for the findings. As in the first instance, the yeast converted the estrone into estradiol. In the third instance, autoclaving culture medium in polycarbonate plastic flasks was found to cause an estrogenic substance to be added to the medium, whether yeast were present or not. It was determined that the autoclaving process leached bisphenol-A (BPA) out of the polycarbonate plastic. BPA was shown to bind to estrogen receptors and to induce estrogenic activity, including stimulation of MCF-7 breast cancer-cell proliferation and induction of the expression of progesterone receptors. The three instances highlight potential problems for investigators who might inadvertently add estrogens to experimental systems confounding their results. The BPA findings raise concerns about the possible addition of this estrogenic molecule to the food supply since polycarbonate plastic is used in myriad applications in the packaging of food and beverages. Although we are unaware of the substantial contamination of food products with BPA, we believe this possibility should be carefully investigated.

AN - 21260836; 11701715 AB - Lactoferrin mRNA in the 21-day-old mouse uterus can be increased several hundredfold by estrogen. The physiological role of lactoferrin in mouse uterus is unclear; however, it can be a useful marker for the estrogen action in the uterus. The structural organization and the chromosome location of the lactoferrin gene are similar to members of the transferrin gene family. At the 5' flanking region of the lactoferrin gene, we have characterized two modules that respond to estrogen and growth factor stimulation. Each module is composed of either overlapping or multiple transcription factor-binding elements. The well-characterized estrogen and growth factor response modules in the mouse lactoferrin gene could serve as the foundation to understand the intricate molecular mechanisms of estrogen action and its relationship to growth factors.

AN - 21253385; 11701712 AB - Concerns have been raised regarding the role of environmental and dietary estrogens as possible contributors to an increased incidence of various abnormalities in estrogen-target tissues of both sexes. These abnormalities include breast cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine adenocarcinoma in females, as well as alterations in sex differentiation, decreased sperm concentrations, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cancer, testicular cancer, and reproductive problems in males. Whether these concerns are valid remains to be determined; however, studies with the potent synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) suggest that exogenous estrogen exposure during critical stages of development can result in permanent cellular and molecular alterations in the exposed organism. These alterations manifest themselves in the female and male as structural, functional, or long-term pathological changes including neoplasia. Although DES has potent estrogenic activity, it may be used as a model compound to study the effects of weaker environmental estrogens, many of which may fit into the category of endocrine disruptors.

AN - 21252430; 11701710 AB - Neonatal treatment of female mice with diethystilbestrol (DES) is known to induce ovary-independent persistent proliferation and cornification of vaginal epithelium. This irreversibly changed vaginal epithelium persistently expressed higher levels of c-jun and c-fos mRNAs, which was not altered by postpubertal estrogen. Sexual dimorphism was encountered in mouse pelvis and anococcygeus muscle. Postpubertal estrogen changed the shape of the pelvis to the female type and postpubertal androgen changed it to the male type. Neonatal exposure to DES and to the antiestrogen tamoxifen altered the developmental pattern of the pelvis, which contained lower concentrations of calcium and phosphorus than controls. The size of anococcygeus muscle was increased by postpubertal androgen but decreased by postpubertal estrogen. However, neonatal estrogen (DES) exposure permanently enlarged the anococcygeus muscle. Thus, neonatal treatment of mice with estrogen and antiestrogen results in irreversible changes in nonreproductive as well as reproductive structures.

AN - 21251448; 11701708 AB - Male reproduction has been given little attention in science and in medical practice. However, a recent metaanalysis on semen quality, which clearly pointed to a decrease over the past 50 years, has been repeatedly quoted. Three recent reports have found that semen quality has declined among candidate semen donors during the past 20 years. The evidence of decline in the quality of semen is not the only indicator that the human testis is at risk. During the past 50 years, cancer of the testis has also become more common. This is a disorder of young men, and it is associated with a high rate of other abnormalities of the testis including undescended testis and poor semen quality. Furthermore, the incidence of both hypospadias and undescended testis has been reported to be rising in the general population. We believe that the evidence of declining semen quality should be seen in the light of these trends in other reproductive disorders of men. However, the etiology is unknown. A recent hypothesis that links the trends in the health of the male reproductive system to xenoestrogens in the environment is discussed.

AN - 21249891; 11704924 AB - Despite a wealth of information about the structure and composition of steroid receptors and their functional domains, little is known about the role of accessory proteins as mediators of receptor activity. To better define the role of such proteins in estrogen receptor (ER) function, we have used immunoaffinity, steroid affinity, and site-specific DNA-affinity chromatography to identify and characterize proteins that associate with human ER (hER) in extracts from MCF-7 cells and hER-expressing CHO (CHO-ER) cells. In addition to the expected 66-kDa hER, a 70-kDa protein was obtained and subsequently identified as a member of the heat shock protein family (hsp70). A 55-kDa protein, detected by all three approaches, was identified as a member of the protein disulfide isomerase family (PDI). Two proteins that were preferentially retained by an ER-specific DNA affinity column (p48 and p45) remain unidentified. Maximal interaction of purified hER with the vitellogenin A2 estrogen response element (ERE) occurred in the presence of all four associated proteins isolated by DNA-affinity chromatography. The increased stability of this complex was due primarily to an increase in the association rate of hER with ERE. Thus, accessory proteins may be required for optimal interaction of ER with EREs.

AN - 21249871; 11703618 AB - Organizational and activational effects of estrogen (E) in the central nervous system (CNS) are exerted directly by circulating E and indirectly after aromatization of circulating androgen to E in the brain itself. Understanding an environmental chemical's ability to disrupt E-dependent neural processes, therefore, requires attention to both pathways. Because aromatase (Aro) is highly expressed in teleost brain, when compared to mammals and other vertebrates, fish are technically advantageous for localization and regulation studies and may also provide a model in which the functional consequences of brain-derived (neuro-)E synthesis are exaggerated. Recently, Aro was immunolocalized in cell bodies and fiber projections of second- and third-order neurons of the goldfish retina and in central visual processing areas. Authentic Aro enzyme activity was verified biochemically, suggesting a heretofore unrecognized role of sex steroids in the visual system. Initial studies show that in vivo treatment with aromatizable androgen or E increases calmodulin synthesis and calmodulin protein in retina and also affects retinal protein and DNA. Whether there are related changes in the processing of visual information that is essential for seasonal reproduction or in the generative and regenerative capacity of the goldfish visual system requires further investigation.

The system measures estrogen-induced increases in the number of human breast MCF-7 cells. When used to test the estrogenicity of chemicals released into the environment in large volumes, the assay detected several new estrogens, including some PCB congeners, alkylphenols, and phthalates. These compounds competed with estradiol for binding to the estrogen receptor and raised levels of progesterone receptor cells.

The specific chemical or compounds inducing this effect was not identified, but trials with chemicals known to be estrogenic to mammals confirmed their estrogenic influence on fish. A mixture of different estrogenic substances was markedly more potent relative to each chemical tested alone, implying that enhanced effects are possible when fish are subjected simultaneously to different estrogenic compounds.

While not a typical antiestrogen, dioxin can alter the metabolism of this hormone and reduce its active form at target sites. Dioxin modulation of hormones and their receptors disrupts homeostasis and hormonal balances, leading to alterations in differentiation and proliferation.

In vitro tests demonstrate the ability of estrogen and its synthetic analogs to induce proliferation of breast cancer cells in culture. A feasible model can be created around the ability of these chemicals to induce cytochrome P450 enzymes, which in turn activate certain chemical carcinogens. Data point to a link with DDT exposure, while results for PCB have been difficult to interpret. Analysis of the breast cancer link from PCB exposure will entail greater emphasis on congener structures in complex mixtures and on temporal trends in exposure.

Reptiles have been studied as sentinels of exposure to EDCs because of lability in their sex determination. Recent research demonstrated that EDCs altered the balance of reproductive hormones in a Florida alligator population, resulting in reproductive dysfunction. The influence of EDCs in nature can be understood only after complete analysis of both organizational and activational alterations. Organizational theories suggest that exposure to a small dose of an EDC during a specific period of embryonic growth can permanently change the organization of nervous, immune, and reproductive systems.

Embryonic impacts include reduced hatchability, mortality, and teratological effects that result in impaired differentiation of nervous and reproductive systems. Sublethal stress, reduced fertility, eggshell thinning, and other impacts on adult birds have been documented. Heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and organochlorine and proganophosphate pesticides have been implicated. PCBs, DDT, and mixtures of organochlorines have been identified as environmental estrogens affecting breeding gulls in polluted hot spots of the US.

They are also released testing of nuclear weapons. The effect of human exposure to hot particles is not well studied, although occupational exposures to plutonium dioxide and exposure to uranium in fallout from Chernobyl have been reported. A review of the biological and biokinetic effects on laboratory animals and cell cultures is presented. Experimental animals do not absorb appreciable amounts of plutonium dioxide or uranium dioxide via the gastrointestinal tract. Hot particle inhalation causes pulmonary tumors in laboratory animals. Nonuniform delivery of ionizing radiation to the target organ is generally considered less carcinogenic than uniform delivery. Exposure to nonuniform beta -irradiation results in permanent wound development prior to development of cancer. Cell proliferation and growth genes mutate and are overexpressed when cultures or animals are exposed to hot particles.

With the arrival of English settlers land use was primarily agricultural, until the industrialization that occurred in response to a great influx of immigrants after World War II. Environmental health responsibility resides with states and territories. A review of air, water, and soil pollution problems is presented, and measures taken by the government to counteract and prevent environmental degradation are outlined. New Zealand promotes its reputation as a clean and green country. However, the country has the same problems with ozone depletion that Australia has. The Maoris, who have lived in New Zealand 1000 years a have a long standing commitment to environmental conservation. During the 1960s and 1970s, there was a brief effort to establish large industries in New Zealand, and the resulting pollution problems were handled by a ministry for the environment. Sustainability became an official national goal with passage of the Resource Management Act of 1991. A brief discussion of air and water pollution problems is presented.

Two groups of immigrants were formed, according to the amount of cesium 137 contamination of soil in their former homes. Body burdens of super(137)Cs confirmed the groupings. A third group of 55 liquidators, worked at Chernobyl after the accident, and self reported higher incidence of health complaints and hypertension. Children from communities with greater exposure had higher rates of asthma and other health complaints. In utero exposed children had asthma rates that were eight times normal. Hypertension rates were higher in older adults from areas of greater exposure. Exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident resulted in several health affects that were not associated with malignancy.

Works Better and Costs Less. Third Report of the National Performance Review. AN - 62663193; ED387065 AB - This publication reports on the progress of the Clinton Administration's effort to reinvent the Federal government bureaucracy and how it operates and serves citizens. Part 1, "A Government that Makes Sense," describes the progress that reinventing government has made and reviews the context in which the initiative was launched including analysis of how the Federal government became too bureaucratic and why it failed to keep up with technological advances. Part 2, "Getting Results," describes how the reinventing effort has tried to get results rather than focus on rules through regulatory overhaul. It describes specific examples of regulatory simplification and creative responses to getting services to citizens more effectively. Part 3, "Putting Customers First," describes the effort to learn what those who use government agencies want and to change services to meet customer desires. Part 4, "Getting Our Money's Worth," describes how this initiative has worked to manage money and other assets well and save significantly toward reducing the federal deficit through eliminating unnecessary programs, improving purchasing, and holding agencies accountable. The concluding Part reflects on the place of trust and personal responsibility in good government. Appendixes contain information on the status of the recommendations, new recommendations, regulatory reform efforts, summary of savings, and executive and legislative actions taken.

This document explains the principles of audio book art and science and is divided into three sections: "Communication Art in Audio Book Production,""Science in Audio Book Production," and "Position Descriptions for Audio Book Production Staff." The first section focuses on narration as a communication art. Voice, speech, language, and narration skill are highlighted as the primary components of narration. The physical, mental, and artistic enhancing factors of narration are described and the importance of correct pronunciation is noted. A list of criteria for evaluating an audio book original master recording follows. The next section discusses narration and host environments, ideal ventilation and quality of lighting, and specifications for original master recordings and running masters (composite recordings made from two consecutive original masters). Examples of quality assurance and quality control methods are also provided. The last section describes the purpose, amount of supervision received, requirements, and responsibilities for the narrator, monitor, and reviewer.

AN - 62666305; ED387594 AB - The Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources and the House Committee on Education and Labor (now the House Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities) asked the Office of Technology Assessment to examine the potential opportunities and possible pitfalls of work-based learning that would be supported by the School to Work Opportunities Act (STWOA). Three main questions are addressed: (1) What are the alternative models of work-based learning and how effective are they? (2) What new learning technologies could support work-based learning? and (3) How can employers be persuaded to provide work-based learning experiences for students? This report assesses the potential of work-based learning as a component of the school-to-work transition systems that are currently being developed in many states and local school districts. Chapter 1 reports the findings about work-based learning and the STWOA. Chapter 2 discusses the history of work-based learning in the United States as well as problems with school-to-work transitions and provides an overview of STWOA. Chapter 3 describes and analyzes the apparent advantages and disadvantages of five learning processes that can be used in work settings: experiential learning, work-group learning, mentoring, workplace instruction, and technology-assisted learning. Chapter 4 discusses various ways that work-based learning can be structured with respect to the following: the types of students who are served; the program objectives; the coordination with schooling; the timing, intensity, duration, and progression of work-based experiences; the settings of work-based learning; and the issue of payment for students. Chapter 5 describes various models of school-to-work transition programs with work-based learning and summarizes the evidence on their effectiveness. These models are youth apprenticeships, clinical training, cooperative education, school-to-apprenticeship programs, school-based enterprises, and career academies. Chapter 6 considers the factors that influence whether or not employers will participate in work-based learning programs.

AN - 62665543; ED398317 AB - This report summarizes the current status and trends in nonmarital childbearing in the United States, and presents a series of supplemental papers by experts from social science disciplines. "Nonmarital Childbearing in the United States" (Kristin A. Moore) introduces the topic, indicating that nearly a third of all births in the country occurred outside of marriage in 1993. However, Americans are not having more babies; they are having fewer marriages. "The Demography of Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing" (Stephanie J. Ventura, Christine A. Bachrach, Laura Hill, Kelleen Kaye, Pamela Holcomb, and Elisa Koff) provides the statistics that support the discussion. The following expert papers provide commentary on aspects of the situation: (1) "The Retreat from Marriage and the Rise in Nonmarital Fertility" (Daniel T. Lichter); (2) "Family Structure and Nonmarital Fertility: Perspectives from Ethnographic Research" (Linda M. Burton); (3) "The Effect of the Welfare System on Nonmarital Childbearing" (Robert A. Moffitt); (4) "How Nonmarital Childbearing Is Affected by Neighborhoods, Marital Opportunities and Labor-Market Conditions" (Greg J. Duncan); (5) "Access to and Utilization of Preventative Services: Implications for Nonmarital Childbearing" (Martha R. Burt); (6) "Attitudes, Values, and Norms Related to Nonmarital Fertility" (Arland Thornton); (7) "Risk Factors for Adolescent Nonmarital Childbearing" (Brent C. Miller); (8) "The Consequences of Nonmarital Childbearing for Women, Children, and Society" (Sara S. McLanahan); and (9) "Strategies To Reduce Nonmarital Childbearing" (Theodora Doms). Appendixes present data tables and tables of fertility ratios. (Contains 68 figures, 58 references, 28 appendix tables, 4 tables, and 1 chart in the expert papers.)

AN - 62541826; ED399669 AB - Every day, school-aged children encounter a wide variety of hazards that occur both outside and inside schools. This document presents findings of a report that examined the scientific data on the risks for student injury and illness in the school environment. The information is designed to help administrators set priorities for reducing risks to students. The report focuses on the risks that students between 5 to 18 years old encounter while they are at school, on the school grounds, at school-related activities, and traveling to and from school. Key findings include: (1) The two leading causes of death in school-aged children are motor vehicles and firearms; however, relatively few of these deaths occur in schools or on school buses; (2) quite often, the relative safety of schools, on a national average basis, is unknown; and (3) schools contribute to the risks of injury or illness in school-aged children; however, little is known about schools' contribution to nonfatal illness and injury. Finally, national data, particularly for environmental hazards, were usually inadequate to assess the risks to students. Data are presented for incidence of unintentional injuries, including playground-related, school-athletics, transportation, school-bus-related, pedestrian injuries, along with data for intentional injuries, including school-associated violent deaths and weapons. Information is presented for illness caused by environmental hazards, such as asbestos and lead, and for those that arise from exposure to infectious agents. Suggestions for comparing and managing risks are offered. References accompany each chapter. Eight figures and 35 tables are included.

AN - 21345287; 7698872 AB - The prevalence of asthma, measured either as the frequency of hospital admissions or number of deaths attributed to asthma, has increased over the last 15 to 20 years. Rapid increases in disease prevalence are more likely to be attributable to environmental than genetic factors. Inferring from past associations between air pollution and asthma, it is feasible that changes in the ambient environment could contribute to this increase in morbidity and mortality. Scientific evaluation of the links between air pollution and the exacerbation of asthma is incomplete, however. Currently, criteria pollutants [SOx, NOx, O3, CO, Pb, particulate matter (PM10)] and other risk factors (exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds, etc.) are constantly being evaluated as to their possible contributions to this situation. Data from these studies suggest that increases in respiratory disease are associated with exposures to ambient concentrations of particulate and gaseous pollutants. Similarly, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, also a mixture of particulate and gaseous air toxics, has been associated with an increase in asthma among children. In addition, current associations of adverse health effects with existing pollution measurements are often noted at concentrations below those that produce effects in controlled animal and human exposures to each pollutant alone. These findings imply that adverse responses are augmented when persons are exposed to irritant mixtures of particles and gases and that current measurements of air pollution are, in part, indirect in that the concentrations of criteria pollutants are acting as surrogates of our exposure to a complex mixture. Other irritant air pollutants, including certain urban air toxics, are associated with asthma in occupational settings and may interact with criteria pollutants in ambient air to exacerbate asthma. An evaluation of dose-response information for urban air toxics and biological feasibility as possible contributors to asthma is therefore needed. However, this evaluation is compounded by a lack of information on the concentrations of these compounds in the ambient air and their effects on asthma morbidity and mortality. Through an initial review of the current toxicological literature, we propose a tentative list of 30 compounds that could have the highest impact on asthma and respiratory health. These compounds were selected based on their ability to induce or exacerbate asthma in occupational and nonoccupational settings, their allergic potential and ability to react with biological macromolecules, and lastly, their ability to irritate the respiratory passages. We recommend better documentation of exposure to these compounds through routine air sampling and evaluation of total exposure and further evaluation of biological mechanisms through laboratory and epidemiological studies directed specifically at the role these substances play in the induction and exacerbation of asthma.

AN - 21270414; 11701704 AB - It is now possible to identify biochemical and/or cellular changes in humans due to exposure to an environmental toxin. These changes are called biomarkers and are currently used in research studies to identify individuals exposed to specific toxic substances. Advances in the field of biomarker technology may have important implications for the detection, prevention, and treatment of certain diseases in children. This technology may enable physicians to screen children who have no clinically detectable illness for evidence of exposure to specific toxins. Such information could lead to implementation of preventive measures and development of new therapeutic strategies. However, several important issues, including potential adverse consequences resulting from the widespread use of this technology, must be considered prior to its utilization within a clinical setting. Leaders of the pediatric and public health communities should recognize the paucity of scientific data in the pediatric environmental health area, and new approaches to this important aspect of child health should be developed. This article will address several of the issues involved in pediatric environmental health and consider questions that should be answered as the potential for technology transfer becomes a reality.

AN - 21268746; 11703611 AB - Exposure to indoor air pollutants such as tobacco smoke and dust mites may exacerbate childhood asthma. Environmental interventions to reduce exposures to these pollutants can help prevent exacerbations of the disease. Among the most important interventions is the elimination of environmental tobacco smoke from the environments of children with asthma. However, the effectiveness of reducing asthmatic children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke on the severity of their symptoms has not yet been systematically evaluated. Dust mite reduction is another helpful environmental intervention. This can be achieved by enclosing the child's mattresses, blankets, and pillows in zippered polyurethane-coated casings. Primary prevention of asthma is not as well understood. It is anticipated that efforts to reduce smoking during pregnancy could reduce the incidence of asthma in children. European studies have suggested that reducing exposure to food and house dust mite antigens during lactation and for the first 12 months of life diminishes the development of allergic disorders in infants with high total IgE in the cord blood and a family history of atopy. Many children with asthma and their families are not receiving adequate counseling about environmental interventions from health care providers or other sources.

AN - 21262100; 11701703 AB - Cancer is considered to be a multifactorial disease in which a host cell is transformed from normal to malignant as a result of complex interactions of external (environmental) stimuli and cancer-predisposing or cancer-suppressing genes. Although certain chemical carcinogens and ionizing radiation are known to cause specific alterations at the level of the gene, other correlations are less clear. Not infrequently, cancer is found to aggregate in families in an apparently nonrandom fashion. It has been through the study of such families that our understanding of the genetic events leading to cancer has developed. Both common and rare tumors may occur together in familial-cancer families. Frequently, tumors occur at an earlier age than one would expect in the general population; often, multiple tumors of different organs develop in a particular affected family member. Recent advances in the genetics of familial cancer syndromes have led to the possibility to perform genetic testing on unaffected relatives who might carry a genetic defect that predisposes them to cancer. Complex ethical, social, and legal implications arise from these new technical advances.

AN - 21262080; 11701706 AB - Methylmercury (MeHg) is a global environmental problem and is listed by the International Program of Chemical Safety as one of the six most dangerous chemicals in the world's environment. Human exposure to MeHg primarily occurs through the consumption of contaminated food such as fish, although catastrophic exposures due to industrial pollution have occurred. The fetus is particularly sensitive to MeHg exposure and adverse effects on infant development have been associated with levels of exposure that result in few, if any, signs of maternal clinical illness or toxicity. High levels of prenatal exposure in humans result in neurobehavioral effects such as cerebral palsy and severe mental retardation. Prenatal exposure to MeHg in communities with chronic low-level exposure is related to decreased birthweight and early sensorimotor dysfunction such as delayed onset of walking. Neurobehavioral alterations have also been documented in studies with nonhuman primates and rodents. Available information on the developmental neurotoxic effects of MeHg, particularly the neurobehavioral effects, indicates that the fetus and infant are more sensitive to adverse effects of MeHg. It is therefore recommended that pregnant women and women of childbearing age be strongly advised to limit their exposure to potential sources of MeHg. Based on results from human and animal studies on the developmental neurotoxic effects of methylmercury, the accepted reference dose should be lowered to 0.025 to 0.06 MeHg microgram/kg/day. Continued research on the neurotoxic effects associated with low level developmental exposure is needed.

AN - 21260815; 11701700 AB - A review of the present understanding of asthma leads to the following conclusions: an elevated IgE is the principal risk factor in the development of childhood asthma; secondary exposure to a wide range of environmental agents (including indoor bioallergens) accounts for the variations in prevalence; prevalence (defined by a positive answer to the question "Have you ever had doctor-diagnosed asthma?") ranges between 4 and 8% in children. Black children have a slightly higher prevalence than white children in the United States, and in both races boys have a higher prevalence than girls. A high prevalence is found in Puerto Rican children in the United States. Patterns of utilization of health care resources (hospital emergency departments, individual physicians, etc.) are dependent on economic circumstances. Low-income children have higher annual morbidity (days in hospital, days off school, etc.) than higher income children and are more dependent on hospital emergency departments for primary care. Relatively little is known about nonatopic asthma in adults, although virus infections and occupational exposures play some part in its induction. There are some striking examples of asthma attack periodicity, and much may be learned from these. Hospital admissions for asthma have increased in many regions over the past 15 years; it is unlikely that this represents the increased admission of milder cases and hence would indicate that asthma has become more severe. This is likely to be a more sensitive indicator of change than mortality. Associations between indices of health effects and air pollutants indicate that these are probably playing a role in the worsening of asthma. Adverse effects related to SO2 and NO2 exposures have been documented, and fine particulate pollution (PM10) is also associated with worsening of asthma. Ozone is an intense respiratory irritant, and, together with acid aerosols, may well be playing a role in the worsening of asthma. It is not known whether any of these agents are affecting prevalence.

AN - 21260504; 11703606 AB - Young children and the developing fetus may be more susceptible to effects of environmental toxicants than adults due to differential exposure patterns and developmental immaturities. Biologic markers offer the potential of quantitative dosimeters of biologic dose and/or indices of biologic effect associated with fetal/childhood exposures. They can facilitate evaluation of interindividual variability in response and the magnitude of age-related susceptibilities. Thus far, biologic markers have not been widely used in developmental epidemiology of environmental exposures. Research by our group and others has seen elevations in biologic markers in samples from children and fetal tissue associated with a spectrum of environmental exposures, including tobacco smoke (active and passive), ambient pollution, and dietary contaminants. Studies also suggest that biologic markers can provide powerful dosimeters for investigating reproductive effects. Validation of biologic markers offering the greatest promise for developmental epidemiology is needed.

AN - 21258992; 11703605 AB - Toxicological research became institutionalized in the United States in response to society's concern about cancer and acute mortality. Driven by risk assessment, research focused on the need for data development and the standardization of testing for regulatory and management purposes in a reactive mode. Although the research community has provided evidence for over 40 years that a number of pesticides and industrial chemicals have disruptive effects on the endocrine system, little attention was given to the evidence when determining the health hazards of synthetic chemicals because of the fixation on cancer. However, recent findings concerning the effects of a number of widespread chemicals on the reproductive success and fertility of wildlife and humans has led to the call for a proactive approach using investigative research (forensic science). Suggestions are presented to modernize the research agenda of public health institutions to meet society's needs to address the problems of exposure to endocrine, nervous, and immune system disruptors.

AN - 21249703; 11704923 AB - The National Urban Air Toxics Research Center (NUATRC) hosted a medical/scientific workshop focused on possible asthma/air toxics relationships, with the results of the NUATRC's first research contract with the University of Cincinnati as the point of discussion. The workshop was held at the Texas Medical Center on 4 February 1994 and featured presentations by distinguished academic, government, and industry scientists. This one-day session explored the impact of various environmental factors, including air toxics, on asthma incidence and exacerbation; an emphasis was placed on future research directions to be pursued in the asthma/air toxics area. A key research presentation on the association of air toxics and asthma, based on the study sponsored by NUATRC, was given by Dr. George Leikauf of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Additional presentations were made by H. A. Boushey, Jr., Cardiovascular Research Institute/University of California at San Francisco, who spoke on of the Basic Mechanisms of Asthma; K. Sexton, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who spoke on hazardous air pollutants: science/policy interface; and D. V. Bates, Department of Health Care and Epidemiology at the University of British Columbia, who spoke on asthma epidemiology. H. Koren, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and M. Yeung, of the Respiratory Division/University of British Columbia, Vancouver General Hospital, discussed occupational health impacts on asthma. Doyle Pendleton, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, reviewed air quality measurements in Texas. The information presented at the workshop suggested a possible association of asthma exacerbations with ozone and particulate matter (PM10); however, direct relationships between worsening asthma and air toxic ambient levels were not established. Possible respiratory health effects associated with air toxics will require considerably more investigation, especially in the area of human exposure assessment. Two major recommendations for future research resulted from this workshop and an accompanying NUATRC Scientific Advisory Panel meeting: a need for more complete individual personal exposure assessments so that accurate determinations of actual personal exposures to various pollutants can be made; and a need for field experiments utilizing biomarkers of exposure and effect to more accurately assess the extent and variability of the biological effects, if any, of individual air toxics.

Exposure to PAHs was monitored in coke oven workers, subjects residing in Silesia but not involved in the coal industry, and subjects in a nonindustrialized area of Poland using personal samplers to make a single measurement in September and February. The same individuals submitted urine samples for determination of 1-hydroxypyrene. September mean PAH levels were lower than February levels, and ranged from 2.3 to 12.3 mu g/m super(3). Environmentally exposed subjects had mean PAH levels of 0.15 and 0.44 mu g/m super(3) in September and February, respectively. Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene mean concentrations ranged from 2.45 to 13.48, 0.41 to1.54, and 0.20 to 0.14 mu mol/mol creatinine for occupationally exposed, environmentally exposed, and control subjects, respectively. Seasonal variations were noted for both groups with PAH exposure.
